Hello and welcome to the Friday show I've got David Rothkopf and a great conversation

coming your way I want to thank everybody who joined me at last night's hangout.

We had like, I don't know, 60 people there for a lot of the time

and we hung out for almost three hours.

It was real fun, real enlightening. Gareth Severs' daughter sang to us, which was fantastic.

And if you are a stand-up subscriber, you can go watch it, relive it, listen to it, it exists, it was recorded at least most of it, and that you

can access it if you're a subscriber it'll come in today's show's email.

So I hope you enjoy that if you'd like and I hope to see you next

Thursday at our hangout because it's going to be a very special one. It's going to

be a debate watch party. We'll hang out like an hour before the debate starts an

hour after we'll get some special guests to stop by. It should be great. All right

David Rothcup coming your way but just a quick news headline segment sometimes I don't do it at all

on Friday but just a few things for you now. We'll start with a weather which I

summer squeltering under excessive heat advisories and Phoenix Arizona temperatures climb to a

112 degrees but the conditions were even more worrying in areas of the

northeast like where I live that are accustomed to not accustomed to dangerous triple

digit heat large swaths of New York and parts of Massachusetts,

New Hampshire and Vermont were given the highest possible risk rating by a national

weather service indicating there was a danger from a rare level of heat.

For those in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic,

it was the fourth consecutive day of smothering heat wave
