A pending national rail strike was just narrowly averted a strike would have been devastating to our economy estimated to cost $2 billion a day if it happened.

2:40.0

According to people, they have both been separated from their spouses since August and have been dating ever since.

2:47.0

So it seems that they're taking the stance they have nothing to hide. They're both back on the show. The show's doing nothing about it because they're two consenting adults. This is straight out of the morning show.

2:56.0

Okay, I'm not going to waste too much of my time or your time on this one, but the headline is all over the place. It's one of the big ones today.

3:01.0
