| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Laris show on WNYC. |
| 0:12.9 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:14.2 | Coming up on today's show, Donald Trump, a Florida voter member, says he will vote to uphold the six-week abortion ban in the state |
| 0:22.8 | one day after he said he's against the ban. Here's Trump last Thursday when asked by NBC |
| 0:28.9 | news about a Florida abortion rights referendum. I am going to be voting that we need more than six |
| 0:35.2 | weeks. But anti-abortion rights groups freaked out and the very next day asked if he would vote for |
| 0:43.4 | the abortion rights measure. Trump said, so I'll be voting no. |
| 0:48.5 | Yeah, so we'll get more into that later and we'll ask what was previously an unthinkable |

| 1:33.3 | weekend, including in Greenwich, Connecticut locally, and they say it could spread to more cities. |
| 1:39.0 | We will invite you hotel workers or managers to call in on this Labor Day week and talk about life in that industry. |
| 1:46.9 | And later on to end the show, we'll have a call in for introverts. Do introverts call talk radio shows? |
| 1:53.0 | I think the answer is yes, because I think introversion is very misunderstood. |
| 1:58.8 | And aversion to calling in in the privacy of your own home or your car or |
| 2:04.2 | wherever you are is not the kind of thing introversion is actually about. |
