Transcripts For WTXF Good Day Philadelphia At 7A 20161101

The suburbs which are covered under another contract and we will get into that in just a second but we are taking you questions. Alex you had one on twit fur you purchased a transpass for the buses, can that be used for the Regional Rails. Survey says, yes, at all train stations in the city you can use that bus pass except for the forest hill and somerton station. Now as far as a refund, credit we are going to get into all that after the strike is over. Lets bring in from septa headquarters Heather Redfern on the phone with us. Good morning. Good morning. Lets get to it. What is not running today this morning with the strike. Anything in the city of philadelphia is not running, so all of our buses, market frankford line, broad street line and trolleys, ten, 11, 13, 15, 34, and 36. Mike brought up an interesting question. What is with the number 90 high low number here. That is for our suburban bus routes. Anything from 90 up, those are suburban, those are running but they will drop you, drop passengers off before they get to the city. Where those, for those buses affected, the new drop off, the drop off point are listed on our web site. Suburban bus routes are 90 or above. They are running but they will in the cross the city line and bring you in the city. Yes. Okay, cool. Now back to the maps here for a second here, tell me what is running this morning. Cct is running. So if anybody had an appointment on regular cct service just to get that out there you will get picked up. Lucy in the University City is running for anybody going out that way. The the suburban bus routes norristown high speed line and 101, 102 trolleys, big thing, around the city is Regional Rail and that is operating this morning. We have talk about refund, credits, what have you, we will address that all after this is all said and done is that correct. Correct. What is word down there from behind the doors at septa headquarters, what dawn tell us. Negotiations stopped last night and i dont have any other further information at this point. There is nobody behind the talk talking, in talks at the moment right now there were no talks overnight. I dont know if they have resumed yet. Heather redfern we will check back throughout the morning. We can come back again. Parking options a flat rate have of ten dollars for ten hours at select ppa garages. We have put the list up on facebook, twitter, instagram, whole 9yard. Also go to fox 29. Com for those parking garages and they will fill up fast. We are seeing delays on i95 from the northeast in the city steady crawl from the schuylkill in. Ninetyfive from the airport this center city, accident east on 422 right here near oaks interchange and we are line up here on the vine street expressway. Certainly seeing that heavier presence on the roads, and lets go downtown to septa headquarters where steve is out front all morning long, steve, over to you. Reporter lets go tour last question. This shows they are not agreeing on anything. The you know why . Willie brown says they were going to keep negotiating last night, reporters asking that specifically because you they said if you are willing to keep negotiating and after midnight why arent your drivers. He said we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. Again septa says they are not negotiating at last talk with reporters. They are only ones that talked to us after midnight time. Were negotiating. So they cannot even agree on that. How long do these strikes last . Well, willie brown says no idea but you we can tell you from screens since this show started in 96, we had our first septa strike in 98 with good day philadelphia. That lasted 40 days. Sound like a movie title. Two most recent ones, 05, 09, six and seven days. You can gauge what to expect maybe from that. No end in sight. The first day is worst day. Heres willie brown just past midnight, updating us. We have agreed upon minor things. We have been working on this for two years. We have conceded. We have been working on this for two years. Thing that gets me most when you consider pensions when you asked about pensions. We are not being greedy. I think septa slapped the riding public in the face and taxpayers in the face when they told you they would do pension reform. What they did was line their pockets. We found money said here is money. How do you do pension reform but yet, you give yourself 500 a month up to a you this dollars a month increase. That is thiefry. I think it is crazy, and i think it is nuts because people, we all use the septa system. 800 i believe, i seen on the news earlier almost a Million People air expected in it. I really think they need to come back on and resume services because this is crazy. I dont understand why they always need to go on strike because this effect as lot of people that need to travel to work, doctor offices, and they need to go to schools, et cetera. I work every day. I work two jobs. I dont know how to get to work tomorrow. It effects everybody out paying bills. Reporter a woman i spoke to said this is ten, that is right, ten strikes just since 1975, for septa. Seventyfive, for people my age, it doesnt sound like that was too long ago. We have pickets, bond fires here at mid veil and wissohickon avenue and bond fires and work picket out where karen hepp is. Great that you are on the story because you are an expert on something and that is the shoe change that women do, running shoes, to work, the heels at work and then maybe ensue serio going to a third slippers behind the desk. But you might want to give advice on female shoe fashion during a septa strike because fashion goes out window it is all about comfort, karen. People will be walking. You are right. Even men will be doing it a lot of people will be biking as well. Bicycle coalition has been putting out information, suggesting that people do it and there will be 20 or 30,000 people if they live close enough that is a great option to get in and avoid traffic because we will have grid lock. They have nice bike lanes. Thinks eat thorpe us bus depot right here jammed packed full of buses not moving anywhere. Over here interesting to go see this is where the trolley lines will go right in. This is where trolley cars are park over here and then, of course, we have a dozen people on strike. Steve talk about the issue. Pension reform. Septa is saying we are offering raises and more job security, but this can be a a real bear because they are trying to get kids into school, to go to publish schools, it is all safe for archdiocese schools are off but rest of the Public Schools, they have to if the those kids in. It is hard on parents and hard for people to get in. So the workers are saying, look, we know this can basically paralyze the city. If you are a working kind of person and i talked to a trolley operator. He have is a gary mason. He is in a cast. He said bear with us. These are important issues for all of us. Heres what he had to say. Well, for one thing, they should understand especially if they work every day, and we have rules and guidelines that we have to go by,. We have to stand and unite for what we believe in and what we need to stand for. That is what we have to do. That is what they are doing. They are picketing. They are sitting around there with the the big fire there. The whole city now has to figure out how to come to grips and deal with this. Like mayor kenney said we are all in this together. Lets car pool, flex time and still operate our city even though our Mass Transit System is shut down. Mike and alex, back inside to you. All right, karen, word of the day is, ugh. A lot of people are so frustrating. We are getting lots of tweets. One guy said he is personal uber driver today because he is trying to car pool everybody around. His family and friend. Yes. Let us know how you get to school or work today. Hit us up on twitter. We are going to get back out to this, because here we go again, bill cosby back in the courtroom. This is another key hearing in the this Sexual Assault case. His defense team argues that bill cosby, hoist now 79 years old, is now blind and therefore unfit to stand trial. Umhmm. Lauren is on the case in Montgomery County, lauren. Reporter you are right, his lawyer says he wont even be able to identify the accusers if they are asked to come here to the hearing that is scheduled for today and could last through tomorrow. Lots of lawyers on both side, it will be here. But this is latest attempt to clearing his name. Judge oneill will hear a few specific arguments in the case, first whether a deposition by cosby admit to go using drugs to give women for sex can be used at his trial. Another key issue is whether prosecutors can bring up cosbys prior bad acts against a dozen other women. The cosby, who is expected to go to trial, in june 2017 is facing three sex Assault Charges facing a even counter with Temple University employee Andrea Constand. She said cosby drugged, assaulted her inside his Montgomery County home. Her story sound similar to that of nearly five toss even other women who have come forward, since then, saying cosby did the same thing to them. Prosecution will argue in favor of the allowing the testify there these women saying cosby has a pattern to do with this. Lots of legal experts say the case will not get thrown out but we will learn today or tomorrow what evidence will be allowed in this case, when it is tried, next summer, mike and alex. All right. We will be there, the minute you see bill cosby. 7 11. One week to go, week from the election day Donald Trumps retargeting states where Hillary Clinton had a edge, a couple weeks ago including the state of of pennsylvania. We combo from plea to light blue over the last 24 hours . He will be in valley forge this morning for a rally at double tree hotel, by hilton. In king of prussia. That event begins at 11 00 this morning. Surprises just keep coming is there a talk of the constitutional crisis and discovery of new Hillary Clinton insider emails has put president obama in a tough spot. Yeah, doug luzader report on all this in about two and a half minutes, go. Reporter it is like good morning, look at president s Aggressive Campaign schedule in the days ahead. That tells you what states are really, really going to matter, as we get closer to election day here. Meantime he is trying to strike a balancing act. He wants to support Hillary Clinton to be his successor but doesnt want to under mind this renewed investigation, fbi investigation in, to clintons email arrangement. Light moments on Hillary Clintons Campaign Plane last night as they celebrate halloween but there is a scary day ahead for clinton and donald trump. For trump still uphill battle involving three states. He need florida, ohio, North Carolina to come his way. That puts him in the game. The losing think of those three and it is long road. Reporter take a look at president owe bams Campaign Schedule this week, florida, ohio and North Carolina hoping to block trump. There is no case here. Reporter dont second much to join democratic pile on of fbi director james comey who said fbi uncovered a new trove of clinton insider emails. The president believe trek or comey is a man of integrity, man of principal and he is a man of good character. Reporter trump argues clinton if she wins could be prosecuted over her classified emails. Her election would meyer our government and our country in a constitutional crisis that we cannot afford. Reporter truth about the only legal option republicans would have at that point would be impeachment. Democrats, meanwhile, say fbi is investigating the Trump Campaign Paul Manafort ties to russia and director comey has a double standard. Surrounding Democratic Party chair donna brazil, more evidence that while serving as cnn contributor, during the primary she actually fed debate questions to the Clinton Campaign to help edge out rival bernie sanders. Cnn has now cut ties with her. Both candidates are really moving in this final week with little added confidence. Trump Campaign Thinking a state like pennsylvania, for instance hey be warming to trump. We will see. The Clinton Campaign very confident and optimistic in the final days. New york post report ago this they have even book a fire works show a celebration tire works show for new york city, on election night. Some might say dont get ahead of yourself but you have to plan. Either way both candidates have ties to new york. Well, true, i dent think she should be buying fire work yet. Bobbies the star of the show today. Giving us details on the septa strike. Wish i could get a bus and take everybody to work. Regional rails now, operating with across the board 30 minute delays and already overcrowding. If you remember back from the 09 strike the concern was folks standing up to the edge of the platform as these lath forms started to get real crowded. If you you try to uber or lyft systems as an option today, go to their twitter pages. We have put links on our page, dont Pay Attention to a lot of the false savings coupons that are out there go to the official pages for uber and lyft and follow the coupon code. They all have coupon codes. Lyft is 50 bucks off your first ten rides which equals five dollars a ride over the course of the next week or so. What is not running today, none of the city bus, trolley services. There is no market frankford line, in broad street subway. We have 30 minute delays. Mike and write talking a few moment ago Regional Rails will get you through suburbs through 30th street station. The airport Regional Rail line is running. So heres an option take airport line, take it to the airport, grab a snack, catch a cab brings you back into center city. We have to think outside becomes here as this is all taking place, you know, first tim this morning. Suburban buses and trolley routes, they are operating because they are on a separate contract, outside of the city. So the paratransit, systems they are running, and the lucy loop is running as well. But expect delays because of all of those systems that are running those buses and trolleys in the suburbs are going to be stuck in the same traffic jams as everybody else. Sueby back over to you. Of all of the problems you just described one thing that will not give you a problem this morning is the weather, everything is tranquil, calm, and we hardly have a cloud in the sky. That is why it got so chilly overnight. As we look ahead in our fox future cast we will see lots of sunshine today, lots tomorrow, a few clouds here and there but it is thursday, that is the day you have to plan on afternoon rain. That is how computer models are giving it right now. Maybe after three or 4 00 in the the afternoon and maybe some thunderstorm and with a cold front coming through things will get chillier after thursday. Right now it is chilly below freezing and in the 20s in mount pocono. Below freezing in allentown, pottstown, 42 in the city. Thirtyeight in wildwood. Wind are not as high as yesterday. 52 degrees today, just ideal. Seventythree tomorrow and 77 on thursday before that rain comes in. Then were child gannon friday with the temperature in the 50s, saturday, it will be a high of 61. Remember, saturday night into sunday, that we change the time, we will fall back, we will get an extra hour of sleep but remember, mike and alex, by sunday it will get dark really early. Really early. 7 17. Well, let me hold up the metro here. Pretty good head line here. Hey, hey doug, coach doug, we have a few questions, yeah, we have a few questions for you. Accusations. Yes, Doug Pederson answering tough questions about his play call there sunday night especially one late in the game. In the Fourth Quarter eagles were in a position to kick a field goal and take a two possession lead. He calls a screen that gets blown up and takes them out of field goal range. So paul always has his score card, his grade car every Tuesday Morning after the press conference and i dont see any as on that report card and he asked questions five reasons eagles lose to the cowboys. And they are. Ready, okay. The fumble. See dak run. The pass defense. The curious call, wonder which one that was. And the fake punt. So lets go back to the curious call, question and reasons number four. Why . Turf coach this play better. We make that play we are inside the 20yard line. When you look at it on film we are inside 20 with the first and ten or if anything it works. It is a fourth down and youre kicking the field goal from close inner then what happened. But if you really trust your defense you could kick the field goal and if you dont make it, keep them from scoring there mid field. Kick a even longer one by a yard at the end of the first half. That is what being a coach is all about, pressure. Big story, that they didnt include there was dropped passes. Maybe we need a new wide receiver. People have been saying that. Could that wide receiver be with the 49ers now. Torey smith, bless you alex, go for it. The nfl trade deadline is this afternoon, man at 4 00 oclock and there are rumors we may get this guy, torey smith of the 49ers. As he showed right there in that clip he can catch a wide open pass. So we will keep an eye on it. Check out fox 29. Com throughout the afternoon because 4 00 oclock again is the deadline. And howie roseman, 3 30, 3 58, 59. Yeah, latest trade. Remember, torey married a Plymouth White Marsh High School graduate. Her name was sheneille. That was a while back. The shes not in high school month. But they are still together and maybe she wants to come home and be next to her family. Coming back to thanksgiving. That is true. Were playing on new years day good that is right. 1 gallon 2 gallons. 3 gallons. And up, and up, and up. It goes into effect, it is in effect right now, 23 cents per gallon extra on every gallon, do you need to see this again. Go. I cant do it on demand. Pressure. Look up in the light that stops me from sneezing. You are just trying to make me go blind. No, no. Stop. Everybody forking me. Everybody scare her right new you so she cant sneeze. Twentythree cents per gallon, in new jersey now, yes, it is in effect right the new so how can you save some money. Come across the state line . That toss than the work anymore. Talk to dan good dan, are you here. Yes. He is here. Talking gas. He has a gas can nice can. When government bureaucrats refused to approve a cancer vaccine equally for both girls and boys, i stepped in to change that rule. When my own party held up recovery funds after sandy hit us, i took them on and won. And when veterans were forced to travel out of state for health care, i brought in new local clinics and expanded services. But theres much more to do. My mission is to protect south jerseys way of life. Im Frank Lobiondo and i approve this message. Im franat a neighborhoods a restaurafavorite a place for a good, family meal. She juggled customers, cooks, waitresses and never complained. My dad was a Police Officer walking his beat. I learned from both what it means to be honest, to work hard, and love family.

Our financial expert on fox. How about gas. How about that it. The new jersey went in effect at midnight. Lets take a look ate. Moorestown new jersey there is a fast station, 1. 98. Last night same gas station this morning on the way in, michael. Same sign. 2 21, 23 cents gas tax has kicked in in case you slept through it. So new jersey has gone from, some of the cheapest, gasoline, to the eighth highest. Heres the deal, we suffer high property, high income taxes, high rot tax but we took relief in our low gas tax until last night. So new jersey is 2. 27 on average. Yes. We went from 14 and a half cents gas tax to a 37 and a half cents gas tax and that is why we have average 2. 27 a gallon. So, if i live in your town, moorestown or someplace close to pennsylvania, i usually just drive across the bridge, go to pennsylvania and then go home. Your driver would go drive across the bridge. Of course. But now, after you factor in the bridge toll all you pennsylvania drivers, philly drivers that came over for relief, it height not be worth it the right now. Doesnt work anymore, mike. So, in pennsylvania. Well parks has dubious distinction of having the highest gas tax in the country. Fiftyone. It is about 2. 50 a gallon average but we are still less in pennsylvania but after you pay bridge toll and gas on get over. Im driving to delaware. Delaware 2. 08 cents, still a good deal. Still not worth it. Well, it depend if you live on the border, head down to border, fill up. True. Chad forward, Something Like that. Tips to save you money all right. First use your smart phone, gas buddy is a good app, gas buddy to find you cheap gas near you gas buddy, it will tell you the absolute cheapest gas in your area. Right now average new jersey driver will spend 175 bucks extra per year. Per year. Per year to fill his or her tank, assuming 20 miles per gallon. Hey, 175 bucks extra. Instead pay cash. Why a lot of gas stations give you discount for paying cash. What about, is there a difference between gas regular and premium. Save a boat load of dough by buying regular gas instead of premium. Dirty little secret. Most cars dont need premium. Get by just without regular unless you have a maserati or ferrari. I had a nice car. I wanted to pamper it. You had three choices. I would go high. But if i had rental car, cheap gas. If you putting premium in your toyota or honda, you are wasting your money. You dont need it. Regular is just fine. Save 600 bucks a year by going from premium to regular. Good to see you, my man. That is how we do it. Umhmm. Bam. Speaking of driving around that is what jen is doing following this breaking news, septa strike here in philadelphia, jen. Yeah, good morning. We are at Masterman High School where you can see all of the cars are lined up. That is not usually how it looks. These kid are used to taking septa. We will talk to you about their plans and what the principal has to say in a few minutes. Hillary clinton far too many families today dont earn what they need and dont have the opportunities they deserve. I believe families deserve quality education for their kids, childcare they can trust and afford, equal pay for women, and jobs they can really live on. People ask me what will be different if im president . Well kids and families have been the passion of my life and they will be the heart of my presidency. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Welcome back to good day philadelphia hey, good to see you. You have to drivein to work or school. Normally would you see bus after bus after bus in our shot here at fourth and market outside of our tv studio no bus. It is awfully quiet. It is. We are not hearing that. We are seeing kid and here. Hi. My gosh, hi. That is my buddy. She walks by every day. Every day. She waves to me. Look at Fourth Street here, tom, this street is normally jammed with the Mastery Charter School kid and most of them, well, a lot of them come to school on septa on the buses. We see them climbing out every take about this time but they are not here. They are not here. So how are they getting to school today . Do you have to drive to them. A lot of people tweeting me saying they are walking, doing car pooling, when they come to work they are say they just cant go and it will cost more money, and. You have that one tweet when we left studio during that commercial break they have to walk 2 miles to work. He business to start his 2mile walk to work. Did you send that to ryan. Yes. Is it up, i cannot see. Okay. They are working on a picture. Taking picture of himself walking. That is situation here, in buses, very unusual for us here at good day philadelphia. Picture is up, nice little sunrise picture showing his walk. How are you dealing with this. How are you getting kid to school and work. We are getting tweets. Use the fox 29 good day. If you have any questions about this septa strike, try to figure it out what you can and cant to make sure you tweet us using the bob kelly has been working and answering all kind of questions this morning and we will make sure to get you cover. Why did this that . Union and septa did not come to an agreement. Karen is with those Union Workers on strike at 59th and callowhill. Reporter that is right. You think buses are not over here, that is because they are over here. Thinks a huge bus depot. They are under lock and key. This is an area that should be jumping with the buses in and out running those routes. Those doors are town on the big barn over here at 59th and callowhill. Also, the trolleys, they have set up gates, they are lock up as well because nothing is moving. What is are the people. We have talked about during a strike. This isnt something where septa workers get a couple days off and sit on the couch and relax. This is work action. It is an issue. They still get up, they would be coming, running the trolleys and operating our buses and trains and whatever but instead they are out here because it is important to show unity and talk about the issue that they think are important to them and they will be losing honey when out on strike. They understand this is very difficult for our city. It shuts our system down, our city down when mass transit isnt running. I asked one of the veterans, one of the oldest of the crew out here, gary mason, trolley operator what this experience is like and why they are doing it. What is it like to go on strike. Well, this being about my sixth one it is not fair to our customers but we have to to what we have to do. That is why they are out here. With the picket signs on and they have big fire pits out here, they have logs and throwing another log on the tire. You know it because if you have to not take your bus or get on the train you will be walking as well, a lot of people walking and a lot of people taking bikes if you happen to have one. That will make 2 miles go shorter for brian. That is scene at 59th and callowhill. Steve, what is it like over by you. Reporter i just realized something covering my fourth septa strike. Look at septa and thought it sued for southeastern pennsylvania transportation authority. But it just realized it stand for something else, strikes inevitable people, take another way. Okay. We are not able to come to an agreement with septa so as of 12 01 we are officially on strike. We could not come to an agreement on certain things, simple things as far as bathroom breaks, lunchtime for operators, work scheduling, operator fatigue thing of that sort. We could not come to an agreement. We will strike right now. Just getting off of work and by the time i had to record from the septa web site they said they were going on strike at is the. Just trying to get done at 12 so i can get here and hopefully make the bus and by that time it was just too late. They got off of work late because i to the off at mid night. I was hoping they would not go on strike but unfortunately they actually did. There are people across the the street that are still stuck out here. Im stuck out here. I heard from a friend that uber wants to charge people ten dollars to go anywhere. Reporter you heard willie brown say bathroom breaks. Heres the detail of these. These bus drivers get five minutes. How do you park a bus run off the bus, fine a bathroom, get back on the bus in five minutes. It doesnt leave you a lot of room in the rest room. No rest involved. I know none of us can go to the bathroom in five minutes if you have to go to the secretary and get the key with the big chunk of wood on it the so it toss than the get lost first. Mike has the big chunk have of wood on it. 7 36. Heres a run down for what is not running today. No city buses, no trolleys, no market frankford or broad street subway. Thinking in the city limits is not rum but is what is Regional Rails. We are operating with 30 minute delays and overcrowding. The norristown high speed line is running. Suburban buses and trolley routes outside the city limits are on a separate contract. They are running today. Paratransit, lucy loop is running. All of the Regional Rails, 30 minute delays. I talk to septa a few moments ago. They said if we can stress the flex time, asking your employer for flex time, to avoid the typical morning and afternoon rush hours. If you are go to try uber or lyft there is so many different tweets and hash tags out there. Some are not true, some of these discounts for free rides are not materializing. So go to the official uber or lyft pages for your official coupon codes. Parking options will be there deal, flat the ten for ten. Ten bucks for ten hours at select philly Center City Parking garages. We have those locations on our web site at fox 29. Com. Also put that link up on facebook, twitter, instagram, you name it, we got it. Heres your speed meter reading jammo on all major roadways, schuylkill jams, 95, blue route and again we are only at 7 37. That is the vine expressway coming off of i95, so coming into center city already parking lot, but sue can we open up surround roof and take a deep breath. If you feel that would be refreshing, okay. Maybe you have a warm calzone ready for lunch. Yes, it is National Calzone Day celebrate by bus stop buddy. Temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Clear skies, most of the area, plenty of sunshine. You will need shade. 42 degrees, chillier then yesterday, we had sunrise at 7 30. Some of the temperatures are in the 20s up in the mountains, below freezing to the north of us, only 33 in millville. We are looking at a warmer day then yesterday, but slightly. We will be right at average temperature for this time of the year with 62 degrees. It is seasonal temperature with sunny skies and mostly cloudy tonight, not as chill which a low of 49. So that takes care of your weather for today, seven day forecast is coming up, good day philadelphia will continue after this. You out. No warning, no hearing. Its a lending practice so outrageous, most states banned it. But at the bank founded by pat toomey it was business as usual. Forcing Small Business owners out of their homes. Toomey even used his power in the senate to help himself, voting to gut rules that protect us and crack down on big banks. Pat toomey. Out for himself, not us. Dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. You have heard the saying death by chocolate but they can be toxic.

All of the Regional Rail lines are running with 30 minute delays, to begin with, expect overcrowding, and if you can avoid the rush hour, asking the boss for some flex time, youll have at least a better chance of having a little bit more easier commute here. If you are going to try raid sharing offers, uber or lyft go to their official pages. They have coupon codes, es, listed there. The dont listen to some of the stuff on social media that say free ride. Nobody is giving anybody a free ride today. Parking options flat rate ten bucks for ten hours at select p pa garages in center city. We have put locations on our web site. I put them up on my facebook and twitter pages. In the running today, no city buses, in trolleys, to market frankford, in broad street sun way. Picture the city limit, that is what is not operating with any septa services this morning. The so what is running are the Regional Rails, 30 minute delays as i mentioned, norristown high seed line operating, outside city the suburban buses, trolley routes are on that victory line. They have ative rent contract. However, they will not cross the city line and come into the city. So youll get to the city line and then of course in the same boat as everybody else with mass transit. If you use paratransit for medical appointment or cct that will operate but keep in mind they will run on delays and lucy loop is running. Jammo on the schuylkill and i95, all of the major roadways within the city here, are blocked up. We have one question earlier if you purchased a transpass for the buses, can it be used to the Regional Rails . That answer is yes, it can be used for Regional Rails as long as that key card is powered up with enough money and was originally powered for the bus system it can be used for Regional Rails and all of the stations except for forest hill and somerton. What is forecast looking like for everybody trying to get to work . Sueby has tonight 52nd. We will start the moth of november to take and milder temperatures are moving in, we were below average yesterday but today, we will be seasonal and next couple days, warming up a little bit not unlike what happened over weekend. As we walk outside the door, it is chilly. Fortytwo in philadelphia below freezing in pots up to, allentown. Twentyeight in mount pocono. Fortyone in dover, delaware. Thirtysix as you walk out this wilmington they werent a issue yesterday. Sixtytwo for today. Seventythree tomorrow. 77 degrees by thursday, and then things change, were child by friday after a cold front brings some rain thursday afternoon in the 60s over the weekend. So that is your ever changing, seven take forecast, of course, lots of changes overnight with the septa strike but school still in session at masterman, as jen freddies there this morning. How are kid coping. Good morning. The a lot of the kids are here but a lot of kid are not the here. Good morning to you. Good morning. Your mom dropped you off. Yes. How are you getting home. I dont know yet. That is what we are hearing. You are the principal. Good morning to you. Good morning. You took a little check. How is attendance looking. Attendance is definitely lighter then it is usually. Many students are getting ride ape car pooling. We have a fifth through 12th grade so impact is tremendous because our middle school and High School Take septa. When you walked in you parked your car. You are worried about the safety of these kid. Sure, we have bike racks. You can see they are empty. I am concern with the amount of traffic also if students are trying to bike to school the traffic will be more. So we have also have before and after school activities. So, students have to plan how to get to them after school. They have a semi final volley pal match and they have to get thereafter that. One of the reasons you came to school is you have a physics test today. Yes. The absence would have been excused but i mean masterman is one of the best high schools in the country so work load has to be tremendous. If you get behind one day or even two days what does that look like for you. It is like really difficult to try to keep backup, so we try not to miss too many days. Im sure you found out this morning. Did you know it was a possibility when you went to bed last night no. It was all new you to you. Yes. Im assuming you guys will try to get the together and pool rides, i dont know if that is even an option for you. No, i will probably call a family men and see. See if someone is home. Because they do come from so many parts of the city, right. Exactly. Not the a traditional Neighborhood School where everybody is going to the aim place. We draw there neighborhood all over the city and students have to come from northeast, south philadelphia, mt. Airy, northwest, we are pulling from every where. It is a prestigious will school. These kid will stay on top of their studies but as i said if this thing goes a week or more what does that look like for an 11th grader trying to get into our penn. The work load has to build up. We dont necessity hoy long the strike will be but we work with the students, the internet is something that if a strikings longer, some of the work can be sent through internet. We will certainly not penalize student if they missed test ape student will have to have make those up. It will be a challenge but hopefully the strike will be a short one. Thanks very much. We have a reared teacher and rinse. Good luck on the physics test. Good luck getting into penn. Thank you stay fabulous. Honestly good luck today. Thank you thinks just the beginning. Coming up next hour of good day mayor jim kenney will be live in the studio, where we have you covered because this strike is just beginning. By love park, what used to be love park. That is a nice building. Yes. I can see that. Good sports bar in there where i watch soccer. Speaking have of soccer, if you are in the phoenix this morning, way back, next time we take that shot. We like to bump out. It is get the sheet off your bed, stick it out. I surrender. I surrender. The marries here, we will have a huge soccer tournament coming to philadelphia. Very exciting. And, philadelphia marries big,. The mayor want to run you ragged and we will tell you how to do that in two weeks. If you are up to the challenge. Do you feel it . Do you feel it. It is post halloween sugar crash. You were so high last night and then thousand boom. People are comparing it to a hang over. No matter how healthy you are, you can wake up feeling miserable, all that check late, candy, suing a a sugar can leave you dragging. Before we go to thomas. I forgot to mention there is a helmet in front of me on the desk. We know what candy looks like. There is a helmet. Why . You are about to see something that will be horrifying and disastrous at the top of the 8 00 oclock hour. We will put this on for a reason. Yes. Good tease, mike. Thank you heres tomorrows drayton, ladies and gentlemen, the candy expert i i cannot wait for the next segment. Im putting Life Insurance on the both of you. It will be good. We talk about that candy . No matter how sluggish you feel this morning. There are some things you can do to get back on track and it will get worse with the holidays. So, heres the first tip, drink a little bit more water. Try at least once an hour. Drinking lots of water, it will be a big priority for you. Not only will it flush out those toxins but it will give you more energy to tax he will the day. Next tip, break the sugar addiction. It is tough. Resist the urge to eat more. Bring that extra canned toy work and let your coworker feel sluggish. Make sure you fight fatigue. If you stayed up late last night make it a point to get to bed early tonight. I know you are juggling lot but perhaps a nap will hell. It will keep from you feeling overly tired for the rest of the week. Eat nourish food. You have had enough of the processed stuff, all that fried stuff, all the candy, now time to eat real food. For lunch truth a smoothie, perhaps a salad for dinner and something that is rich in protein like chicken or beef. Try doing it at least once a week. Speaking of candy did you get trick or treaters last night. Zero. Well, i didnt either but, you know, i cannot. A lot of people have been saying they got one person, just two, they were surprised. What is the deal. I know what it is. My daughter jill out in denver. Instead of trick or treating they call it pumpkin treating. That is wherever one goes to a parking lot or safe area, Church Parking lot and they line up and kid go up to car to car and they get their candy that way because it is safe. No more door to door, it is trunk to trunk. You know, it is exciting, i went to the supermarket. I got full sized candy bars. I put it on facebook. I got all of the good stuff. I wanted to be cool house so i wouldnt get egged this year. Full bag not the fun size. Couple bowls, not one single trick or treater. That is because you live in the van down by the river. That is true. Nobody wants to approach the van what is the deal. Also the fact it was on a monday too it has had an effect. It was going to happen it was going to happen saturday night. That is true. Thomas, back to what you were talking about if you have a candy hang over. You know what they say, what do they call that for candy. A. I dont know. Something like that. I will bring candy in and put it on your desk please dont. Straight up 8 00 oclock. It is tuesday, in first, 2016. We have a strike on our hand here. Strike. A commuter night the mayor. Were on strike. More than 5,000 septa workers walk off the job, alternative ways to get around the city right if you have a question for mayor jim kenney, he he is going to be live in the studio in minutes. Adele gets real, the singes l struggle with depression h what she wants everyone to know before having children. Plus, a new warning for parents. When it comes to buying baby food, why you should think twice, before picking up products with flashy labels and fun packageing. The loose to Michael Jacksons thriller, how the first family spent their last halloween at the white house. All right. Here we go. Were going to try this. Because everybody is looking for alternative ways to get to work. So we have asked our friends company. Speak in my chest. Philly tour hub. Tour hub. Yes. So maybe you need to take a segway to work. Grab the pole hig in the middle. Alex is also trying this. Yes. This is my first time. First time on a segway. This should go well. You have to think of other options. Okay. Okay. So lets ride to work. Here we go. Going well so far. Yes. So we want to you get on twit they are morning and tell us how you are getting to work, if you normally take a bus, subway, or the trolley, are you taking a segway, are you to work and school. Are you creative getting to work on time. I got this tweet. Septa, everyone has to work. And it is kind of funny because you have to get to work even though a lot of things people are dealing with this morning, in fox. Septa knees to get here. More we wait for the picture. There it is. Look at that. He is like forest gump running to get in on time. Well, let us know how your bosses are giving you leeway, or are they saying no being we have to be on time. 350,000 people dealing with this. It is 60,000 students, take septa just to get to school. Lets see if we can do, as we throw to bob. Which way are you going. Heres the thing. Jammo you put your butt out. That is what they told to you do. No, they didnt. What are you doing. That is what they said to do. They never told me that. They only told her to put her butt out. I have never put my butt out. What are you doing, alex. They never told me that. Good morning, everybody. 8 03. No laughing matter here if you are coming over bennie, jam solid, already a parking lot from the tolls into downtown. And, one tippy could pass along if you can try to get flex time, and avoid the typical morning, or evening rush hours, you will be better off. Heres an example what we are dealing with right there. Example of the schuylkill expressway near belmont avenue, heavy in both directions. We have wick sun glare at the dashboard. No city buses, no trolleys, no market frankford or broad street subway. Basically anything in the the city limits is caput. Is what running is Regional Rails running with 30 minute delays, overcrowded conditions, norristown high speed line, suburban buses and trolley routes outside of the city. They are on a separate contract. So they are operate to go day but, they are not going to cross, into the city, across the sit the eye line. So, septa Paratransit Services are operating, you will have delays there because those paratransit vehicles will be stuck into the grid lock on the roadways. All of the Regional Rails, 30 minute delays, if you get uber or lyft a try. Dont Pay Attention to these hash tags that say free rides there is in free ride anywhere today. Go to the official uber and lyft pages, sign, and, there are coupon, 50 and, 50 a fivedollar discount. Lets go outside to keeley live at septa headquarters all morning for us. We have empty bus stops no surprise. People got the idea after waiting here for an hour this morning when we got here that the buses were not running. This stop, and these benches clear, right at corner at 12th and market. Those benches are cleared this way. Not clear, next to the bench at 12th and market on the corner bus stop are the roads. Market street, way more cars then normal, 12th street, way more cars than normal. Cabs say they are busier then ever. Problem a cabdriver just told me was that people who ride buses and subways are not known as good tippers because they never tipped subway and septa drivers. Maybe if they did we wouldnt have strikes, right. You will not the belief this but a lot of similarities between this strike and last strike in 2009. They both were all tuesday, this one is a week from election day. If you remember 2009, which not the a lot of people do that was right on election day. And septa was threatening, to strike for world series. Remember it was phillies and yankees. What septa did was waited until after last game at Citizens Bank park before they went on strike. We had this strike start at midnight, even later notice for 09, 3 00 a. M. Start because they wanted everybody to get home from the ballpark safely. Only advantage of 09 and right now is, that in 09 because it was on election day philly Public Schools were shut so kids had an extra day to plan how to get to school. Not so this year. That is why we have kid, you can bet, definitely tardy, maybe definitely absent today. Sue serio, you are an expert, on shoes. You know how to dress for comfort. Yes. Dress for style. I need to you give atavist women because this might be a three pair day. You need running pair, stylish pair. Then you have to have when feet are swollen pair of usually slippers and flipflops or crooks behind the december thank nobody sees. Or you could get a pair that is just a size larger than your feet and then ill show you what i have on right now. Comfortable flat. There we go. The those are for walking. And, then you got the Long Distance walking shoes, but then the heels if you need them for the office. So yes, it could be a three pair day but it is a ten out of ten. Weather will not give you any trouble. Celebrating National Calzone Day with a nice warm lunch there but chilly outside. Temperatures in the 30s and 40s. He added shade to his dress. Sunny out.

Seven day forecast coming up, alex and mike. Thanks, sue. Bill cosby is back in Montgomery County courtroom. He and his team are trying to get Sexual Assault charges dropped before his trial next year. Lauren johnson is right outside the courthouse with a preview what we can expect once he walks in the courtroom, lauren. Reporter hi alex. We can expect him here very shortly because that hearing is scheduled to start at 9 00 a. M. Today prosecution wants to prove that 79 yearold bill cosby had a pattern of bad behavior over his lifetime. They argued that the comedian has engaged in a serial sexual abuse scandallal. Cosbys defense team says that yeah, right you are listening to woman who offer tainted unreliable memories. The cosbys team will ask for competency hearings for any of the women allowed to testify. They will call in a memory expert to reviewed their statement and say the accusers memories are tainted by media coverage, too much time and mutual friendships with one another sharing these stories. Prosecution plans to use cosbys own words from a 2005 deposition he gave for a civil lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand have of Temple University employee. She says that cosby drugged and a all thed her inside of his Montgomery County homes, the District Attorney also wants to use the transcript of a secretly recorded call between cosby, and constands mother.

Well, septa workers have been officially on strike after long talks that went well in the night with no negotiations. All right. Steve, what are you seeing . Okay, fine. And then this. I heard the word steve and anytime i hear stevey want to see steve. I heard it too. But instead, we have, mayor jim kenney with us, here good to see. What role does the mayor play in a strike by septa. Well, asiana assistance, if asked, it the is a hard balance. They are not specifically our employees. Septa is not a city agency. It is a state agency. So, sometimes inserting yourself like 2009 causes more trouble. We have been in Constant Contact with both septa and union. Rich laser has been moderating over there, governor and i spoke with willie brown yesterday. And, were hoping they will go back to the table and work it the out. You will never resolve a labor crisis also this you are talking to each other. We need to get this fix. Hey, come on, you two, lets go. You just cant do that. No. I brought up 2009. That was six day. We are one week from the election. Are you concern about that. I have concerns, number of concerns, i have people that need to work and people need to get to school and doctors. This is a Critical Service that is provided, by septa. I do have a another just concern about the election. People need to get to the polls to vote. Im hoping, and im hoping by that time this gets resolved. We are getting footage of this senate race, that is probably the number one senate race in america. Yes. They spent more money then any other race. Yes. So, couple people on twitter, have written in and said, could you ever have a rival bus company, come into a city. It is hard. It is a big capture expenditure. You have to buy system. How do you get, how do you compete with the subway cars, and share them. It is really problematic. And, mass transit is not generally a money making operation. If this is still going on, we have to get to run to work and running us ragged by sanding the marathon. Switching the date. Were splitting the days up. Saturday alhard thon. And marathon is on sunday. Marathon, both half and marathon folks are serious runners. More space they have, and in both races, that at this event, better. So they are happy about all of this. And it extend opportunity for people to participate another two days. Listen to this, mr. Mayor, i just might do both. Would i love to see that. Wouldnt we all love to see that. You will be on the rescue five. Some people might want to do that. Yes. There are really, youcious tt there that could do both. I watch olympic marathons and those runners are doing five minute miles and at the even. It is not something i ever did. I did broad street run twice but that was it. You organized this new challenge. If you do both it is 39. 3mile over two days. It is 30,000 people here watching, so, it is a great event for city and way were ring it, city has taken it over. People that run broad street run, city rec run. Rocky challenge. Yes. How do you take part in that. Just go on line to get de i will do Half Marathon and marathon. Special medal for that. Yes, i dont know what you get. You get to a meeting with a psychiatrist. Yes. Thanks for bringing this big soccer tournament to philadelphia we were looking brg our ethnic communities together. We have so many different ethnic groups. It doesnt always translate nationally. And baseball has certain cultures but others dont. We have 32 teams, in a world cup style tournament, that is to go on for weeks. We have had pool play. People, exit pool play, income out round, quarter, semis and finals at Citizens Bank park saturday at 6 00. We are final down to the two teams. Game starts at 6 00. Festivities start at 12. It is a festival, food, music, information on the city. Just bringing people together who chose philadelphia as a place to live. Were very, im very immigrant e this diverse culture and community here. We want to show that we care about them. We are part of the community. Philly has been awesome as far as use of Citizens Bank park. First time a soccer match will be played there. I was shock, notice first time city had done this i thought other cities have done this but we are the first city to put this together good what was it like transforming the the area to make a soccer field. The way it will be they will cover infield and soccer pitch will be in the outfield from left field to right field. It would be like what they did with when we had hockey game out there. Hockey was more center. This will fit. Most of the Citizens Bank park, and stands in the outfield. Free admission. Free admission. And hopefully, we can get there on the subway. If it is free, it is for me. I know. I have known you a long time. Yes. I have missed you mike. Yes. Heres the thing we have asked to you come in many times, and you have refused. Sit because you are here. I dont do my schedule like i used to. I have others on it, making some decisions. They have a problem with us. No, i got a asked youll everything. It is really hard and difficult. Sometimes travel time, you have to bake in that. If you have to be in the north east or not west, rush hour, so many different elements tour schedule. You have not been able to for a while. You you know, it is difficult because of security with the police. They have to double up security to use subway and it is chaotic. Oh, wa. Wa, wa. You are surprise that had you were sows used to doing on your own. Walking outing somewhere without anybody following you i can relate to that. Yes. Heres the thing, are you glad you are mayor. Pretty much, yeah. Pretty much. Yeah. There are things that air anything, stressful and things you cannot control or you have little control over but you are still responsible for it. Other people do things that are stupid or issues in the city that you really cant control them directly and people look to you for a solution. You have to figure out how to best address it. Now i want to to know what. Just septa strike. We dont have a direct role in it. People expect us to have a direct role in it. Educational funding from harrisburg. We are not getting it. We lobby for it. The schools need money but people look to you and say what are you doing bit. We are trying to tiehl with the state legislator which sometimes doesnt listen. Good to see you. Good to see you. We have it on tape. We will be back. Yes, ill be back. Yes. Who will win the election. Clinton, of course, she better. I think she will win by ten at least. Donald trump is coming up in the polls. Every morning, i shouldnt watch them either, they drive you crazy. Is there 30 different poles and they are measuringtive rent groups of people, size thumbs, i think she will be fine. Get this strike fixed then. Mr. Mayor, thanks for coming by. 8 21. Romantic evening, went a surprising twist, the shocking thing that this man joined this couple this their pool. You dont want to miss this. Crocodile in the pool. What is this. Everybody out. She ate like a pig. Trump has said and done. You can do anything. I moved on her like a [bleep]. Trumps just so disgusting and degrading. It just seems like hes invaded our lives. And hes the republican nominee for president. And republican Brian Fitzpatrick supported trump. Look, we just cant vote for fitzpatrick or trump. House majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. This is an individual who mocked a disabled reporter. I dont know what i said, ahh. Who attributed a reporters questions to her menstrual cycle. Trump blood coming out of her. Wherever. He is not a person who is equipped in temperament, judgment or character to lead our troops. Donald trump has created a toxic atmosphere pitting one group against another. Hes a mexican. Claiming a person cant do the job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. Priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. Interrupted by an unexpect guest and a mans reaction is rhyme example of what not to do. All right. Here we go crocodile. I know. They are in the corner of the pool. Wow, he is naked. What . He jumped out and leaves her in the pool. Wow. Did he get her. Shes jumping out now. Pan left. Is he wearing pants or not. No, they are both naked. Wow. What a romantic night. This happened in zimbabwe as soon as man sees that crocodile he is out. You are right. At least he came back to help, i think. Shes hidden behind this umbrella but shes fighting off the crocodile. He is running. You ever get romantic with you ever again. I need to you weigh in on this one do you break up with the guy. Isnt that a man supposed to protect you.

He was thinking of you down the road. See, she has to fight off the crock. Oh, no, man. I have another question. Is that the same name man, how did he get around that camera that fast. Or was there another person. You think somebody else came in and the guy ran off and never came back. Roll it one more time. How does the guy get around the camera. Maybe there an edit. Maybe he ran behind the chairs. No, no, no. He is out. He fell, yes. I see it. You are right. It must be edit. Same body type and hair. Just another guy. She will run off with him. Got that ride. 8 27. New warning, when it comes to buying baby food, why you think twice before you pick up that package that is all thrash i with the labels. And have fun packaging.

Anytime we talk about breastfeeding and breast milk, we have controversy. Breast milk, it is easy to say because im a man breast milk is still the way to go for a baby. If a mother is able to breast feed or pump, yes, breast milk is way to go. The most simple form of food and nutrition for your baby, most natural thing, your body makes the perfect type of formulation at the moment when they are taking breast milk. Why cant we men breast feed. There is physical issues that happen. I know a lot of prehad tour babies, there are concerns because baby comes out early. So mommies unable to make her supply.

Most recent recommendations from the American Academy of pediatric recommend starting, foods between four and six months. The as long as they are able to hold their head up, if they seem like they are interested, if they are doing the correct motion was their mouth, things like that. We keep talking about the packaging. What is the difference of the packaging. Some of the big brand out there, i wont name but they do a really good job making packaging super flashy, really attracting children in the stores so kids can see all that. What is that. They are not the best ingredients in them. Yes. Look at the back of the label.

What is one thing i mean besides sugar is there something you really want to see at the top . By the way, the majority of the ingredient in the jar. Umhmm. It is at the top of the list of ingredient. First ingredient will have highest ingredient in the jar, package. What do you want to see. A fruit or a vegetable. Fruit or vegetables. Yes. Simple, simple, you have to keep it simple.
