0:00.0	This is an IHeart podcast.
0:06.2	Hey there, folks. It is Friday, November the 7th, and thousands of flights were canceled or delayed before you even woke up this morning.
0:15.4	And it's only going to get worse. Today is the day. Mass cancellations across the board begin. And you know where
0:23.7	Robach and I decided to spend our morning, Newark International Airport. And with that, welcome to
0:30.4	this episode of Amy and TJ. Roeb, they said this is going to happen. I'm not sure what I was
0:34.5	expecting. But this is kind of chaos that has ensued at airports
0:39.1	across the country today. And this is just day one. It's supposed to get worse day by day. The
0:44.3	percentage of cancellations is going to increase by one percentage point. So yes, today was
0:49.8	4%. And we had a flight where we were boarding at 440 AM. So I think this is the earliest flight I've

1:33.9	doing nothing. They were like long lines of standing around confusion. Where do we go? Just
1:39.9	bottlenecks. And there were some weird stuff this morning. Look, we're all used to, and I know there are amazing and thank God for you, TSA workers out there,
1:48.0	by the way, who are working without paychecks. But in the New York area, there tends to be a certain
1:53.2	level of apathy among TSA workers. Sometimes they just seem like they're, you know, checking the
