| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor. The show begins tonight in the markets. What makes them a decline between May day, May 1st, and Halloween October 31st? It's a mystery. I learned from Red Arrens, observed for years, decades, |
| 0:17.0 | or no answer that anybody is satisfied with. There are pieces of it, but no answer. That is where we are right |
| 0:26.6 | now, a declining market from May 1st. We'll see if it gets to October 31st right |
| 0:32.0 | before the election. Then Jeff Bliss arrives |
| 0:35.6 | with the Vegas report, the Tropicana is gone except for two towers without |
| 0:40.4 | identification. They'll be gone soon enough. |
| 0:44.0 | Also that the park fire is even larger, approaching half a million acres in North California. |
| 0:50.0 | A blaze set by an arsonist, mentioned. Small business America about Heavy Trek sales are up. |
| 0:57.2 | What recession is this? Also money-making with artificial intelligence. It saves you time that you can devote to other resources. |
| 1:07.8 | And that makes you money. |
| 1:10.8 | Then we turn to the Vice President's campaign looking at Vice President Harris's |
| 1:17.8 | record when she was a San Francisco DA and the Attorney General of |
| 1:22.3 | California with Bill Whelan. |

| 1:30.0 | Then a Lancaster County report with Jim McTague, the unemployment situation in Lancaster is not as |
| 1:40.0 | rosy as it was a week past. |
| 1:42.0 | There's 1,700 layoffs listed in Manchester County. |
| 1:46.0 | Young people, we can presume, getting new jobs, |
| 1:50.0 | but people leaving their jobs as well, the retired boomers being replaced by the eager |
| 1:57.8 | millennials. Also a conversation with Richard Epstein about the immunity amendment proposed by President Biden |
| 2:10.0 | unlikely to ever be confirmed, but it's a talking point for the president in these last weeks. |
| 2:20.4 | And then Richard's observation of the vice presidency. |
