The astronaut vealed in last nights show. Take it off take it off take it off take it off take it off country superstar hunter hayes that is it. The astronaut was Country Singer hunter hayes and hunter is with us now live from nashville this morning. I was watching you last night, hunter. Congratulations. Good to see you. So how did it feel being on the show . How did it feel being unmasked . Well, i can probably text people back. I had a lot of friends that have to me about this astronaut cedar. I have not responded. It was a blast to be on the show. It was so much fun. I would tell anyone who wanted to do it to do it in a heartbeat. If one who works on the show is great. It is just one. It is they did a great job of keeping it fun, even though it is a competition. It is a fun competition. It is a competition, in my opinion, it is a competition about individuality and all about being yourself, even though youre not supposed to yourself. I was watching. I mean, you are an accomplished and praised singer and songwriter. Country music world. I got to ask you real quick, what is robert duval mean to you . A lot. I met him on the set of a movie that he was filming in louisiana. And he i to know how this happened. But he ended up i had my Birthday Party with we had a lot of friends and family that were in the movie or worked with the movie. So we all kind of got to know each other. We all got to be friends. I was young. I was really, really done. So my parents got to know him really well and he gave me my first guitar. So my obsession with guitar and potentially my i dont know. I think maybe the songwriting chops come from learning guitar and it is all thanks to him. Wow. Described the is really where that astronaut costume was it difficult . Did you adjust to it . And kind of grow into it overtime . Yeah. There are a lot of learning curves. I mean, theres no two ways about it. Putting on a mask, putting on a suit like that, you know, at first, it was a little stiff, if im honest i had to learn how to move in it. We had the adjust it. Props to the the costume department. They did a great job designing it. It felt once i get used to it and once i got comfortable in it, which took a couple of episodes, it sort of felt like an extension of me. And i just the is not for a lot of reasons. And i still feel really connected to the costume. As wild as that sounds. It was really meaningful for me. You said you would not dance a lot before. You were dancing on the show. Yeah, well, i think that was one of my biggest goals, i guess for the show, was to learn or to be more probable dancing on stage. I move a lot on stage. But none of it has ever been choreographed or i have never been trained. I am a full amateur. For me, i think it was a big thing to learn how to dance or to be comfortable dancing in front of people. Granted, i had a mask on. At the same time, i wanted to walk away with a little bit more experience in that. Well, man, you did it. You accomplished a lot. I got to ask you before you go, you play a lot of instrument. A quick count of how many instruments you play . Well, i mean, my process, you know, growing up, i did not really have a lot of resources about me. Whatever i wanted to do, if i wrote a song, the only way i was going to hear it was to make it myself, right . So it kind of just became a diy project, i guess, you know . To write a song and try to figure out how to make a demo backed so clay, you know a lot of instruments, it means that i am willing to really fail anything to see it through and to make it work and i think my process has just been figure it out, one instrument at a time, one part at a time to try anything, you know . Hunter, thank you for being a part of mornings on 2. It was great watching you on the masked singer and now you can tell everybody you were the astronaut and it is a pleasure to talk to you and me you. The best of everything. I appreciate you.

That would be the highest it has been since the Great Depression. The Unemployment Rate was hovering around 25 for several years.

Add that to the people who have filed for and implement in the weeks before and that is 30 million americans, roughly one out of every six workers who have filed for unemployment benefit the coronavirus pandemic was declared and nonessential businesses shut down in march. Restaurants, retail, personal servicebased businesses have now been closed for weeks. This is a really scary time, you know . I have a little bit of money saved aside for a rainy day. But it is a torrential downpour out there.

One group being especially hit hard, College Seniors. Many of those College Seniors are expected to the graduate x month. But employment analysts say the new grads will face the worst hiring season since the last financial crisis 12 years ago. Last years job market, opportunities and better pay. Economists say this yours graduates cannot afford to be picky. Spring sports are not going on as planned right now. The pandemic costs thousands of bay area athletes a chance to they can be. For many, it was their last chance. The cancellation of spring sports hit high school and College Student athletes hard work it was devastating. Like, lots of tears for sure. Baseball is my passion. Having it cut short did not seem right. The proverbial pill is even more difficult to struggle. Robbed of their final swings, shots, and sprints. I was expecting the farewell tour, and it did not happened. This was one of the years where i trained some really hard. It is hard to not see that materialize. I was working my butt off. I was getting up at 4 00 pm for my first workout. Everything i put into this season and then all of a sudden it just felt like it kind of got ripped out of my hands. Not only are these athletes missing their games, matches, and meats, they are missing the camaraderie and all the great ancillary aspects works. The events we were looking for, forwardto later on in the season, like our senior night, annual Team Sleepover and other came championship activities. The new practices were going to be awesome because we all get along and we enjoy spending time with each other. I miss being able to go to the ballpark every single day. While they cant replicate those activities that they cant compensate. All the it feels like it has been taken away, we still have that steam spirit. We have zoom calls every week. We have little games together. Try to go on runs sick feet apart. And in the end, invaluable perspective for all of all. I definitely would want to continue sports, not just because i love the sport, but i love the people that come along with this sport. It put me in my place and sports are an amazing opportunity for people and to have them taken away is terrible. But i feel bad feeling that about my season been canceled when there are people out there with family members suffering line. To help our society. Overcome this. Scott reiss, ktvu fox 2 news.

The textured cloths grab and hold dirt and hair no matter where dust bunnies hide. No more heebie jeebies. Phew. Glad i stopped cleaning and started swiffering. Were learning about the attempted rescue of an American Contractor in navy veteran who was kidnapped in afghanistan. Earlier this year, Navy Commander searched an afghan village for mark fredericks. Part of the recent Peace Agreement with the taliban is for the Afghan Government to release taliban prisoners but it is not clear if fredericks was part of the deal. So i have real concerns about suggestions that the taliban are serious about peace that the taliban are upholding their end of the deal went as we speak today, they are holding a former navy veteran and american citizen hostage that they took, again, during the peace negotiations. Details of the kidnapping from january have not been with this. Taliban leaders have not admitted to the kidnapping. Start this morning down on this morning news about the economy.
