Summary

The Christmas shopping rush is underway. While Black Friday isn’t what it used to be, with people camped outside of stores for hours, it’s still a big deal—and a big day for deals. The National Retail Federation estimates that 131 million Americans will shop online or in stores today. Gerald Storch, the former CEO of Toys ”R” Us, previews this year’s holiday shopping season and discusses how inflation is impacting consumers and retailers. The holiday season wouldn't feel complete without the familiar sight of the Salvation Army's red kettles and the sound of their bell ringers. For over a century, devoted volunteers for the charitable organization have gathered contributions to assist those facing hardships. Commissioner Kenneth Hodder joins the Rundown to discuss how the Salvation Army helps the homeless, those affected by natural disasters, and many others in critical need. Commissioner Hodder also discusses the importance of next week’s Giving Tuesday and why this year's holiday calendar presents unique challenges. Plus, commentary from Former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chair Neil Chatterjee. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
