Yes, yes, how are we all doing? Welcome back to another panel show. It was only right that we assembled some of the panel together for the weekend that's in it. We've got Martin and Mulvier joining us to chat everything. Manchester, Derby, my favourite fixture of the season. It's the one I always look forward to the most.  It's no Halls barred, isn't it? Four means nothing. It's that fixture where there's that bit more bite to it than just your average league fixture. We're going to hop into it all. Before we do, guys, make sure you do hit the like button on this stream and subscribe if you're new around here. All of your support massively helps. Get your thoughts in the live chat on everything Derby related. We want to see what you guys have to say as well. Let's hop right into it. Mulv, how are we doing? It's been a decent week. Luton beat Luton 6-2 and then we've got the small matter of the Derby look to look forward to. Yes, Hugh. Thanks for having me, guys. Yeah, feeling good, man. I look forward to these now. I didn't used to. I think I'm in the Hugh camp on this and I think we've got it right. The left side of the screen is looking forward to the weekend and the right side is. There's a good split there. The opinions. Reason being, yeah, these are rubbish now. So. Fightings are already with two minutes in and I love it. I used to have united. I won't call mates, but like acquaintances. Honest to God, not heard from in a decade. So I used to dread it because, you know, we used to banter that we used to get texts and that and used to see some of work even. But don't see him anymore. Don't hear from him. So there's really nothing. There's no, there's no banter that I'm anticipating. Like if we lose, you know what I mean? So yeah, I feel good. I feel like Luton was a great, a great way to set up the weekend in that. I don't think we were feeling that great about the way we were playing. We're getting good results, but I don't think anybody thought we were our best. The games were a bit nervy. I think you could sense that in the crowds, particularly what Chelsea and Bournemouth. Bit tight, bit nervy, but that's why Luton was such a great result and a great performance. Because I know they got it back to 3-2, but I don't think anybody thought we were going to throw it away. So I think all things considered coming off the Luton win, the clear win at Luton and considering how bad these are and how injured they are, I'm excited. Could be famous last words. I'm with you though. I'm excited, but I'm always cautious of famous last words with this fixture. Even look at years gone by, particularly under Oli. Even then, we were streets ahead of them on paper. For some reason, they just seemed to be able to pull out these results out of nowhere. You do have to be a little bit cautious, but Martin, you're always a very calm guy. When it comes to people overreacting or people worried or people nervous, did the Luton game make you feel good about going into the derby? Was that a performance you think we needed to see? I felt good about the performance. I think it matters not a job for the derby. Listen, you normally get cool, calm, collective, confident. I'm the opposite on derby weekends. Derby weekends are the one time that I go to bits, I go to bits at derby weekend. I saw that it's not just me. I don't know whether it's because a lot of my mates are reds, and I work with a lot of reds, and within 30 seconds of them scoring a goal, my phone will go zip, zip, zip straight away. I don't know what it's going to be, but I just hate them. I don't enjoy them. They're not games I enjoy. I just want to get them done out of the way, see you later. That is probably the only last old-school part of me left in that. That's the only thing. Listen, we beat these with Ben Gianni at the Swamp.  Ian Brightwell's bagged at the Swamp. So I'm not sitting there going, oh, great. It's just one of them fixtures that you don't enjoy, but Luton was amazing. It was proper cup game of football and to watch KDB. And for me, Erlin Harlan's best ever performance in a city shirt, and I do not underestimate that in any way. I thought he was electric. He did everything. That is the closest performance from Erlin Harlan. You'll ever get to a hurricane.  It was just unreal, alongside Kevin De Bruyne. So yeah, I love Luton, but does it mean nothing for the derby for me? I agree with your point on Erlin Harlan. You can definitely see the hurricane side of his game now. Over the past few weeks, you've seen him dropping deeper. I think this season he more so. You have seen him dropping a bit deeper and not just kind of like hanging around the box. Sometimes I've said, yeah, I get it. Sometimes I kind of just wanted to stand in the box and be a nuisance in there, but Luton kind of perfected the art. He had Mengi in the centre back. He had him on toes. Every time he got the ball, holding the ball off him, Mengi couldn't do anything. I think half the time Mengi was actually fouling him. Never got pulled on it. He probably should have been booked, but it never happened. And he was dusting him every single time. So it's good to see Harlan like that. And I think... I'm team Martin, by the way. Huge team Mulv. Let us know in the chat. Are you team Martin or team Mulv? Mulv's confident buzzing for the weekend. Martin's a bit like me and a bit nervous for the weekend. Shitting it, basically. And not really looking forward to it. It's a fixture that you look at and go, get that over with and hopefully that we win it and we can be buzzing about it. Let us know in the chat which team you're on. I'm the exact same for the weekend. I don't think fixtures matter beforehand, but it was nice to see us play that way against Luton. Do I think any way we played the game before Diaby is going to translate into that? No, because Diaby Day, both teams have been well up for it. I think it's kind of like a standalone occasion Diaby Day. It's a form goes out the window situation for me. I mean, logically, they should not be coming to the area on Sunday and getting anything, shouldn't they? I mean, I know footballing played on paper and footballing played on form and form was at the window for the Diaby, but I mean, come on. If we're at the races on Sunday, like I believe with this game, we're our biggest, we're our own biggest obstacle. If we turn up to our own level and play our game and don't drop down to theirs, don't let their low block, which is inevitable. They're going to play with a low block and hit us on the counter because it's the only proven formula they've ever had, or they've had in years that's had success against us. As long as we're at it, logically, come on, man, let's use our brains here. They shouldn't be coming and getting anything. The only thing that stopped us against them or tried to stop us against them lately is the referee. We lost 2-1 at Old Trafford. Offside. Yeah, that offside that never was, or offside that. We're not better over that at all. Yeah, not at all. It's funny how we all still call it offside. We're all the Rashford offside. Not the Rashford onside. It's always the Rashford offside because we believe it. The only chance they got in the FA Cup final was a dubious handball on Jack Grealish, right? Nobody ever remembers how they scored that goal. I don't think. But it was... I forgot that to be fair. And Grealish jumps for it, hits his arm, and they got a penalty. Yeah, it was a bit hard, done by his arms on the way down, isn't it? It was hard. He got on the way up to it. His arms on the way down to go by side. I'm with you logically. We're streets ahead. But, you know, weird things can happen. I will admit that. Just as long as we don't self-destruct, we don't have Rodri grabbing anybody by the throat, or the referee doesn't have a nightmare. I think we're... Can I say one more thing on Martin? I was uncomfortable with what Martin said about Erling Harlan and Harry Kane. He said, that's the closest he'll get to a Harry Kane performance. The difference is, Kane's not getting five in that game. No chance, because Kane doesn't have the pace to get in behind and score a couple of the goals that he got there, or to make that quick burst to get... He did it on a couple of occasions. So, while I agree with you that the hold-up play was very Kane-esque, right? And that's great, because that's the piece that he's missing, Harlan, that is. But I would argue, Kane is missing a couple of the finishes that Harlan had in that game, so... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm talking more than... Because there's only one Erling Harlan's finish. I am talking about the overall hold-up play and everything else. By the way, it's Michael Oliver. Okay. Is it Michael Oliver? Someone in the chat would say it's Andy Maddley. Sure, it's Oliver, yeah. I'm not showing a little chat now. No, mate. No, it's Maddley. No, mate. I'm going to complete another wrong mate. No, I just... Do you know what it is to me? I want to score early. He's going to be so important on something. Get the goal early. Because you know what United are going to do. They're going to do what every other team does this season. Come and just... Back 20. Don't move.  It just feels like, you know, everything.  And they just... I just think they're not going to come and do anything. They're going to try and catch us out on the break again. All the time. Which, under Solskjaer, they were very good at. Because it was one ball, Rashford or Marchielle, and they were in every time they came to the air yard. Dan James. It was one ball every time. And you're like, God's sake. But it's one of them. It's one of them. We get an early goal, settle the nerves down. You know. We can be four up again at half time. That would be nice, but... I mean, I've got a question. I've got a question for the United fans at some point in this stream, by the way. Because they are watching. They are watching. If you are, make sure you've hit the live button. Hit the live button. Come to the shot. Let us know.  And you're bringing good vibes. But everybody, make sure you've hit the live button. It's 200 of you here. I do want to go back to the Erling Haaland conversation slightly. And talk a bit more about him. Because there was a period there. It seemed like for a long time, but it was only a week, really, where we played Chelsea, Brentford and Bournemouth. And he got one or two goals in that period. But he did, obviously, miss quite a few chances. And people were starting to lose their heads. To count people down a bit with Haaland and realise that he knows their chances he should have scored. And he's too good for him to have just fallen off a cliff. And Erling Haaland is now one of these players who needs five, six chances to score a goal. I said it was only a matter of time before he hit someone for three, four or five. It turned out he hit someone for five the other day. For you guys, does it feel like this is happening at a good time? Like it's all happening at the right time? Because this is the first game of a massive, massive month. You look at the Premier League fixtures we have. I think having De Bruyne score, or the assist for Haaland score five, Foden, I did a video, or a quarter of Iran is going to come out later on tonight, I think, on the channel, giving him his praise that he deserves. For me, it feels like the team is clicking into gear at the right time. And people forget this thing, that timing with the Premier League, specifically the Premier League, because it's such a marathon, is absolutely everything. And it feels like, I hope it's one of those moments that we look back on at the end of the season and go, that was the day that City turned the screw. Do you think that would be a fair analysis move and maybe something we could be confident from? No, I agree with that, mate. I was actually... Remember that winning streak we went through? I don't know how many wins in a row it was on the trot. But I thought to myself, uh-oh, are we peeking too soon here? Because we do have a tough stretch coming up, and obviously the later rounds in the Champions League are coming up. And then it tailed off a bit. I think Chelsea, I'm thinking of. Just a couple of performances on either side of that, I thought, okay, yeah, we've doled off a bit. But the connection between Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Harland, which was on full display against Luton, if those two can peek at the right time, that's going to be so important for us. I think the worry maybe is some of the other players particularly, like I'm thinking on the wings, aren't in the best of form. But if the wingers could step up, I'm thinking about Doku and maybe Oscar Bob in the absence of Jack Grealish. Bernardo's even... I don't know what you think, but Bernardo's been just sort of off it for me. Thank you. Someone else assumed. Yeah. I don't like saying stuff like that because I'm not a great watcher of the game, to be honest with you. So the stats may prove me wrong, but I just think he's been a little bit off it. But if a couple of those catch fire and the De Bruyne and Harland connection keeps going, I think this is the time that we need to peek because this month is madness. So yeah, I don't think we peeked too early. I think the peek is probably coming. That's my point. I completely agree. I think it's such an important period of the season where we're involved in a lot of competitions. Obviously, FA Cup Champions League and Premier League, all three of them are in, especially the timing for us. It's not great. It's not ideal, the fact that we're playing all these teams, these big teams in a space of a short time mixed in with big knockout games. Fortunately, which is why I wanted the first leg of the Champions League to kind of kill the game off, which I think it kind of has done. There's almost a little lifeline, but I don't really see them beating us by one or two goals next week. I think that's proved to be a good thing that we've got them two goal advantage there because if it was a one-one or something really close in between all these big games, throwing a new castle there in now as well, I think it's a massive difficult period. If we're going to hit form, this is the exact time to do it. The exact time to do it. I think this is the make or break of our season. If we can come out of this period on top of the Premier League and still in them two competitions, and that is incredible. And honestly, if we get through the period on top, I think we win the pram. This is it. This month will determine it. Don't you think also fitness-wise, he's played it really well? I think it's just grilish that we're struggling with. Just grilish is out. Yeah. I mean, that's really well done by the whole club, really, to get to crunch time and have only one, probably gets in your first 11, right? That's missing. That's great. And Roger's done a great job of staying out of trouble. Yeah. Yeah. He's got his cool heads on in it. I put some eyes back on his head at halftime just to make sure. Yeah. I think that's a really fantastic point about fitness. And Pep, I think, has learned a lot about this himself over the years, through trial and error, about when to have the team, hopefully, if all goes to plan performing and in the best shape possible. You even just look at some of the decisions he's made in isolated matches in recent weeks, like giving Philip Oden a night off a couple of days ago. De Bruyne up being put on the bench or not playing a couple of weeks ago. He's not played John Stones in a game where we're probably saying, why didn't he play John Stones? And so on and so forth. Taken Alvarez out of the team when there's a lot of spotlight on him. And he's probably playing too much, particularly in the midfield. So you'd like to think that all this adds up to peak performance. And a point I made to you, Jordan, and on Joe's podcast was that, for me, when everyone was panicking about also not scoring enough goals and, you know, Arsenal are hitting people for four, five, and six. And Liverpool are hitting people for four, five, and six. I said, it's not going to get much better than this for them. And they're not going to sustain it either. Liverpool and Arsenal, they just simply won't sustain slapping teams for four, five, and six for the next three months. Whereas we're one point off top, unbeaten since the 6th of December. And we're playing unconvincingly, up until the Luton game, of course, that was. We're playing unconvincingly. You'd like to think that if we click into Geer Martin and start playing convincingly, like start to bring those performances like the Luton game and build off them. There's a lot to be got from that. And there's a lot to be excited about. Yeah, no, absolutely. I think Liverpool are running on pure emotion at the moment.  And they played Southampton. They haven't played anyone properly yet in terms of, right, let's see how good these kids are. I know they're going to need two or three, four plays back by the city game. They can't go out without 11 against those at Amfield. Not a kind of chance, because that is proper deep end stuff. That is right, deep end, you go. Because that is then you're at the title situation. You can't be then throwing your title on 16, 17 year olds. Not that many. You can get away with one or two, you're not going to get away with six, seven, eight. No way doing it. Arsenal doing very well at the moment. Arsenal, like we have over February, I've had a nice run of fixtures, still got a beat what's put in front here. But Arsenal, what I come to will soon, they've got the top, they've got there, now Plunder and Diab will be coming up, still got to go to United. We don't know where United will be in four or five weeks.  You just don't damn well know what you're going to get with it. But with those, this is why I've been so confident is we're just like, we've just faded into the background. Everyone's ignored our run. We won like, what is it, 16 out of 18 now. Not lost again since the 6th of December. And it's mad to think it's so gone under the radar because people have been talking about the 4 and 5s, Liverpool and Arsenal are putting in and ignoring our 1-0 wins. But fine, we're still in third gear. Wait till we've got a fifth gear, like you said here, because they ain't going to do 5 and 6s each week. That's why I've not been worried about the goal difference. As long as we can keep there within the goal difference, I've been happy with it, because you can turn around 4 or 5 goals. One game, two games in your back. I've just been so comfortable, the Brighton game has now been moved for the Newcastle Cup game. So we've got a more different, for some reason it is always Brighton the way that I get shifted back to. Brighton and I are having a good spell at the moment. So you've got Villa coming up at home, we've got Palace away. It's just, at the moment, we've just got to take it game by game and see where we land for me. But I just, I don't know why I'm just so confident with it. I'm not in an arrogant way in a more pragmatic and know what I'm going to get from this team. I don't know what's going to happen with Liverpool. Liverpool doing, I don't know. They've got injuries galore, I don't know what they're going to do. Arsenal, I can't judge them properly. They're playing very, very well, but I'll judge Arsenal when they come to the AAD. It's an AAD one. But it's going to be exciting, but I've said it all along, it won't be three teams by May. It'll be down to two. Some teams going to drop by May. I don't know who it will be. Obviously I don't think it'll be us, but I don't think it'll be three. That's right until the end of May. I hope it's not us. I hope it's not us. And I generally don't believe it will be either. There's some super chats and member chats, so I'll pick up to Jake first for the 18 months, pick up mate. It says, go on, Molve. Yes, yes, Jake, mate. Doctor 40 with a 14, Zah. He says, treble, daddy, I'm on my knees for your big treble. Cheers, Doctor 40, mate. Whatever you do is what you do, mate. Muhammad with a two. Big up Muhammad. He says if CityScore early, United will open up. I agree with that. It's getting that first goal. Always opens up the team, helps us play out a little bit, rather than just sticking out a little bit. Oh, seconds would be nice. Yeah, repeated the Gundo situation. It'd be... Was it you, Molve? It could have been six seconds if Edison didn't hang around. Yeah. Pop it, Edison. It was a joke tweet, and then I had all the well-actually guys in the replies, like, well, first of all, it wasn't Edison, and second of all, they wouldn't have been in the positions that had been in. It was a joke, lads. It was just... I found it funny. Well, thank you, because it was supposed to be funny and not factual, so... It's a real stuff thing when you've got to now put context behind the tweet. Yeah. It shows underneath the context of what's going on and correct things. Someone needs to do that to your tweet, though. Yeah.  Yes, yes, Simo, mate. He says, I usually hate Derby Day, so he was team Martin with me. However, he's traded. He's gone to a team Molve this time. He says, after the performance from Katie B and Harlan the other night, it's impossible not to look forward to it. Let's smoke him. This is for me. Are you not fanning United fans being so weird at the minute? I'll take 4-0 now. No, you wouldn't. You're not really thinking that. As much as we were crap back in the day, I never went to the swamp and going, as long as we want to get to eat 4-0, I'm happy. You never went with that attitude. It's setting expectations, aren't they? Said was in our chat when we did the watch, and he was worried about the weekend. I don't believe it. I think they called them themselves. Yeah, because then if it happens, they go, I told you this would happen. I told you it ended up like this. I had a friend of mine text me today saying he'd be buzzing to lose 2-1, because it's a respectable score and they got to go and I was like, mate, shut up. It's such an L-mantality. Where's the heads gone? Back you see. The great man United. The great man United. It's crazy. It is actually crazy. Over there in the Super Chat, with a £2. He says, JP, give me £10. You give me £10. There you go. What was your answer to that? Two dollars. So... I like the Super Chat from Muhammad a lot. And I think it opens up a conversation about potential ways the game could go. If you throw your minds back to the old Trafford game in October, I was fortunate enough to be there. It was just an unbelievable performance from City. We got that goal. It was so obvious the heads of the players dropped. The man United players dropped. They just gave up. They stopped playing. I think that if we score early on Sunday, there's a good chance we could give them a real tanking. Because this man United to you, I'm sorry, I watched enough of them. They have no character. They have no fight. But when things are going against them, they drop the heads and they turn into 11 red training cones. Early goal and I'm so confident. I'm so confident. Even first half an hour. Someone's clipping that right now. 11 red training cones. He's 11 training cones and I don't want to dig it. Yeah, man. Yeah, someone's saying that. He's setting himself up here. I love to see it. He is spot on. That's why I think the early goal is crucial. Because that's the United's game plan at the window. If you look at all the times we've got these 1-0, especially at home, it's because we've not scored early. The longer you go 0-0 at home, you're giving the away team all the advantage and all the confidence. Because their game plan is working. As soon as that goal goes in, their game plan has to sort of change. That's what I'm saying. That's what they don't want. So the earlier you can do it, it's like you listen to your nightmare and sit at the derby at Wembley. After 12 seconds, that was it. The game plan went out the window. They didn't know where to go with it. That's my game plan gone. 12 seconds. Everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the mouth. Yeah. I like that. I like that. They have a punch in the mouth. Our plan is to punch them in the mouth. That's what we've got to do in Wembley. Nah, I'm there. I want to give them a kick lower down. It is factual. I don't know if you guys watch them at all on a week-to-week basis, but whenever I do tune in, they don't have a game plan as it is. They don't have a style of football as it is. They'll turn up with the run of the mill. Give them a ball to get out, show them to run. That's the game plan. Yeah. Are you feeling better about our defending at the moment? Right. Particularly when it comes to them and their counterattacks. I'm worried going into pretty much all these big games on the sense of the high line that we're currently running. It does. It does mean that we can see chances. Now, Luton, I've got to say they were two very good goals. The second goal, obviously, Steffen, I'll tell you, I always do that. I'll tell you, did just pass it out, basically. But I do think that we're conceding a lot of chances, I'd say. I think Borm of Salanke had a chance as well in behind. I think it's I was actually going to ask this as well, whether we think we will run with that same system that we're going with now, just a high line, push quite high up and then it's almost, it's high risk, which is not usually what Pep likes. It's high risk because obviously you can see them chances. But I think Pep's trust, I think our offside track's been really good. He's trusting our defenders to do that and obviously it allows us to win the ball back earlier on and keep that pressure on the team. I think, I feel like there's two big decisions. One, who's going to play on the left wing and the second is Kovacic. Does Roger need Kovacic next to him in this or can you afford to play a more attacking play, like say Foden and De Bruyne together in the eights, or do you need Kovacic in there? I think Kovacic has been really, really, really good recently. I do too. But then also you could even say does Nuna deserve to play? He looked good through the night. Obviously really should be now. Yeah, people are saying rather than playing Doc, who left wing, who's not really been hitting right now and go throw Nuna's in there instead. It's not Nuna's to make, there's two Wildcats to make which base hopefully you'll understand what I mean.   And then the other one is Alvarez. Oh man, I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to bench Alvarez again. That'd be three in a row. Yeah, and that's what Alvarez or Kovacic, you can't play. Well, to me, it should be folding KD Bay, Nuna's and Bernardo. Is that kind of front line and then Highland is up top of that. It's the 4-1-4-1, isn't it? KDB the free roll, he can do the dirty stall. Bernardo can do the dirty stall. I've just this weekend needs to be balanced, controlled as we can get it. You put Alvarez in, you're going to have to kick somebody out. Folding then gets drafted out onto the wing, because you know where he's going. And I just think it messes. We become so unbalanced. So unbalanced. This team thrives on controlling possession and controlling the way that a game goes. We need to dictate play and the way that the game is going to be run. That's how we play football. It's a lot of patients involved in there and it's a lot of us mentally draining the other side passing the ball about left-right. That's why most people just call us boring all the time. When we don't have that we look lost and that's where both Chelsea games not the Spurs Cup game, the one where we drew all the games round that period it was very hectic which is not what I'm used to seeing from anyone's seen from a Pepside. That's what I don't want this weekend. We were going to previews and every week I just kept saying just get some control. Just control the game. Just control the game. That's all I was saying just because that's really what I wanted. Hopefully hopefully Sunday is it. I think Calver is in there you sacrifice a little bit of that control if you play in the midfield. He just keeps calling me out well card, well card. I'm like I don't know. Such a weird one. I know the team I want and I know the team that would work at least where the Pep will do that. It's Pep Vardiola. This is why I'm not as confident as maybe I should be because it's Pep. I think a lot depends on how he sees United as a side. Definitely like the Luton game. I think he knew they were going to be open. So that's why you saw all carriers FC. You saw Bernardo, Nunes, Kovacic all in there carrying the ball. It's whether he sees them as more of a low block type in which case the ball carriers probably go to the bench and other players come in like Alvarez. I just think we lose control with Alvarez. I just think he slows down the overall tempo of our game. People find our hearts differentiate between analysis and full blown slander of a player. I like Alvarez and I like him in the number nine role. If it was totally down to me, I'd just have him as the bench striker and you rotate him with Erling Haaland when needs be and when must be. If you want to take Haaland and give him a break, you can start Alvarez and I think Alvarez will do a fine job. There's no coincidence that we play our best football when proper midfielders are playing in midfield when proper wingers are playing on the wing. The cameos, the 20-minute cameos from Jack Greenish were seen against Copenhagen and against Luton. All of a sudden the team looks really fluid. Kovacic is a seasoned elite level midfielder and when he's feeling himself and he's playing well, all of a sudden Manchester City play him well. I really like the dynamic and the influence that Matteo Kovacic has on our team. He talked about backups for Rodri and it's been an ongoing conversation for ages now. I never wanted anybody to come in and be Rodri. I just wanted someone to come in and keep the tempo going, keep moving the ball at a good pace, chip in with a shot or a goal here and there when you can, but the main thing is just keep the flow going. Don't slow it down. And right now for me there's two players that do slow it down slightly and it's probably through no fault of their own and that's Alvarez because he's not a midfielder, he's not wired like a midfielder, he's not bred to be a midfielder and that's Jeremy Doku because Jeremy Doku is young, he's raw, he's a lot to learn. If you look at Jeremy Doku, there are times, surely if you're watching the games they're just saying the same as me where you're like okay, release the ball, release the ball, release the ball and he doesn't release it and this slows everything down. So with the midfield, I prefer Alvarez not to be there but Pep really likes to shoehorn him in when he can. And then I want to talk about the left wing, obviously Jack really is his injury is for me a massive, massive bow. As I just said, I think when he's in the team everything functions at a really nice pace and people are saying, obviously Dr. Fuddy here in the chat said Nunes Screamer, I've seen the script. I like Mateus Nunes. Obviously Jack really won't be available for the weekend. I don't know, how do you see the I suppose the front three lining up but more specifically the left side? Yes, so I'm going to answer the question I posed earlier which is how does Pep see United? Does he see him as an open team or more a low block? I'm going to bet on them low blocking. In which case you need locks picked and he needs to decide who is his best lock picker on the left if it's not going to be Jack Grealish. He's got I think three options Nunes Dockoo and Oscar Bob and personally I think the best lock picker of the three against the low block is Oscar Bob so it would not surprise me if he came in on the left I would say Bob Dockoo Nunes just Nunes Dockoo edges out Nunes just for the experience on the left wing but wouldn't shock me if it was Oscar Bob I kind of I kind of think it's Dockoo What are you saying? I want Nunes but I think Oscar Bob is a shell Oscar Bob is a good shell Oscar Bob is the in-between Dockoo and Grealish because he's grown up playing the Manchester City way Pep Guardi all the way he's grown up with this coming out with EDS playing that system he knows what he's doing he's like Oscar Bob coming down that left wing putting the ball across cuts him up but again it's the Gavadio that left hand side depends on who the money left back is there might not be a left winger there it might end up being Gavadio because that's the issue when Gavadio's there Gavadio becomes a left winger this is why I think it'll be Bob because that left winger I think is going to find themselves inside and find themselves centrally and of those three Nunes, Bob and Dockoo the player with the most ability in tight spaces is Bob and I think United are just going to pack that box it's going to be flooded with red shirts and Oscar Bob is the lock picker the best lock picker of the three of them I mean he did take Hakey off Tuesday I think I think Hakey starts the weekend I just think he's been solid recently and Gavadio did he play it against him at all? No He's not played at all since he's been injured I don't know if he's matched I just think it'd be a higher risk from Pep to throw Gavadio and now obviously he can't put it can't put it against Pep something that he wouldn't do if it happened it's just something that Pep does but I think Hakey will start so I do think it allows a little bit of freedom to whoever is on the left wing because I don't think Hakey will do a Gavadio job but I do agree with what Moe is saying I do think whoever is going to play on that left wing is going to tuck in we've seen it with Jack Grealish now it is very unfortunate that Grealish isn't available and he's re-upped his injury because he was looking incredible again and I was buzzing for him you can see him crying on the bench because he knows it's just another hit it's just another hit to his starting spot now it would have been perfect the game at the weekend I think we all said when he first got the injury that we was hoping that he'd be back by United to go through this month it's not to be so I think I kind of agree I think I'm leaning towards Ed says docus I just think that's what people do but what I want is someone who's a bit more versatile who can push up a little bit into the midfield like we see from Jack Grealish maybe he's at the car walking on the right who goes with Gavadio does Gavadio scare you that much? I hope it's four centre backs you know what it is with Gavadio and maybe it's May the way we can see goals is virtually rinse and repeat at the moment it's one ball for the guy over the top Gennacho's going to be their guide the same way Sterling and Nicholas Jackson was the guide for Chelsea now listen I don't think Gennacho's a great finisher but he'll play on the guy and make the run that's what he'll do so and that's all it is with me it's nothing like I'm worried I can picture it in my mind what's an eyes going to tell him to do I know what he's because there's nothing else he can do they've got nobody else there's no Rashford I mean the one bad thing today is Harry McGuire has been ruled out damn it was open he played yeah apparently he's out in there I've never seen that I know Bruno's been begging to get out of this fiction for the last yeah I'm sure Rashford was out I've read somewhere Rashford might be out for this so where was it I read it maybe I'm wrong it'd be a big loss from the way Rashford's out Bruno's tried but I just yeah I know what I want because my line is quite simple but he's I want stones and he's like he's gonna come back in obviously he's gonna go back out there's a lot of plays a minute who deserve to play who are gonna lose out obviously he does not deserve to go down to the bench but he's gonna come back in the rodra and then on the other side of my mind I'm going Alvarez, Alvarez, Alvarez I just can't get out my head 27 straight Premier League starts here yeah just on the United I saw 10 Hargs say that he's basically using the same squad he used against Forrest midweek so I think Rashford is in but what he's saying is none of the players that were unavailable at Luton will be back so that's one Bisaka, Marchelle Martinez, Luke Shaw Mason Mount Rasmus Hoyland and Mamba Tak and Mount still out as well has Mount ever been in? I don't think it's turned out this year he's got that 7th shirt come on now yeah the jinx so I'm just looking at who did because I'm not gonna lie I don't sit and watch United on the regular I'd rather go and you know jump through fire hoops and watch United every week that's it I'm fine is that a skillio's mind? that's my video we're doing since you had a nine of the lot Lindelof Varan, Amrabat McTominac, Kazemiro Anthony played Bruno played Gannacho and Rashford and on the bench they had a bunch of kids and Erickson Amrabat's not a footballer by the way oh Johnny Evans so yeah they've even got the yeah they've even got McTominac you know and Antna so yeah on paper United aren't a scary team in this life I'm getting more confident now you're going on your own come on one of us one of us the more you when you read out the plays that are going to be playing on the pitch I don't think United are a scary side to look at on paper I just don't see it it's just because it's Diabede my ass just falls out on Diabede so I can't really help it I'm sticking with this side the whole way but I do think it's going to be I hope it's going to be a good weekend obviously I'm expecting a big performance from us but it's one of the ones where I'll take a one now do you want to hear a story quick Rob how nervous I got Diabede remember when we played two or three years ago when Sarnay played Old Trafford did Sarnay score who scored and we had to beat them when we were going with Liverpool had to United with an up and out of silver yeah but I drove up into the hills to lose signal so I did not know the score hahahaha oh my god I literally went with no one and I couldn't get no info about the game and then I just put it on after nine minutes you know there's a thing on your phone there's a thing on your phone that I got you just put that on I literally get like nervous on Diabede I'm like no forget it hahahaha I hope you're going I hope you're going I hope you're going to the game I'm going to the game it was more of I mean I had a ticket as well I was like I just don't like them because I've not got a good record at the swamp I've never seen as I've never seen it as well I don't see superstition as well yeah I just I hate them this is the team I hate it's the club I hate the fan base that ruined my childhood absolutely ruined everything about my childhood bullied me I hate them I just I despise them this is one club that I cannot stand and that's why I get so nervous because I just hate them I hate them with a passion well they went to professional league by the way 10, yes yes bro if we're going to mentally drain teams controlling the ball is great but we need to back the goals to deflate their energy teams open up when we lead there's your 10 pounds old colt man JV hahahaha 10 dollars I know it was a fair with the 8 with the 2 on top of it it probably works out yes yes pie mate big up bro yeah obviously it's all going to have the possession in that you've got to score your chances now Harland off the back of scoring 5 goals I mean Hugh said yesterday probably could have been about 8 goals he had a few chances that he'd probably looked back and go should have scored that one as well but after back of scoring 5 goals I think he's going into the game in good form I know what you're saying like form and the team is out the window and that but it's good to have Harland scoring that and for me the connection of Kevin De Bruyne in early in Harland to get that fully flowing to the both on the same page I think that's quite important for them to have that good link up and I think it's something that we might see more of on Sunday that one where Harland didn't even look and the ball just appeared in front of him incredible magic Harland was playing balls through to KDB as well yeah he's doing it for each other now there was another chance as well where KDB I think ran inside the box and he went for the shot instead however on that occasion he could have passed to Harland as well just like he did on Harland's goal I think what made it 6-0 on fire more than anything yeah he had crowd I'm going to say this anyone who's sitting watching this no light show, no nothing stay blue moving on and let us do it let us do what we need to do because there you have it there's got to be rocking for a minute one on Sunday rocking I want them walking out the door again at half time yeah my question was quite, I was going to ask you I just want to know if United fans have bought a full ticket or a half a match ticket and they're all off out the door at half time because that's what I want again I want Hugh to look over it at half time and have nobody in that way end again it's a good feeling I've had it a few times it's a very good feeling 6-3 no light shows, no blue lights let us do what we need to do because we'll do it I agree there's been a few games this season where the atmosphere hasn't been good enough for the size of the fixture like the Liverpool game the half 12 Liverpool game we can't have a repeat of them but in Liverpool half 12 it was like a funeral procession like what we do in here it'll be good we need big energy man big energy because obviously it does impact the team as well I mean you feel that energy when you're in the stadium so I think that's crucial the final Ronaldo one when he went for Michael Ball when he tried to do ball with 2-3 the thing he got sent off as well was Pace's last one and we were singing Blue Moon as the players were in the tunnel I remember one of the players saying the stadium was shaking was shaking in the tunnel and he just couldn't wait to come out that's how it's got to be we need that again we need that again I reckon that's a good one I'm going to have no I'm going to have nothing I'm going to have nothing he's done he's done thank you man my wall is gone now is that enough I've done it that's what I will flip flippers this weekend goes on so will I so will I the thing is I'm going to turn straight away to United after that looting game I'm confident I'll back us to win I don't know how we'll get that done I don't know if it's going to be a confident performance or it's going to be a shy little 1-0 win or something like that but even my confidence in the team to go and get the three points does not translate to me to me not being nervous I will be nervous throughout now having this conversation I'm nervous already I can feel it best believe 10-15 minutes before a couple of hours before kickoff I'll be a wreck I'll feel sick why did I choose football that's just the way it goes that's the way it goes for Diabede you don't enjoy Diabede no family can enjoy Diabede you've got to be a special kind of creature to enjoy Diabede if you're going to skip and dance into the air at 3 o'clock or something straight in mate alright boys there's a thing alcohol that helps that process and helps people skip and jump that's very true it's the day of the year that I needed the most I don't actually drink are you married are you married I'm talking about your family no be in the south stand bar he's neither he's neither married he's too busy man you're就 45 minutes to get a point getting tower I've been there after a game after a game we'll see how the result goes but listen you can get 30ワwa

In a bit. Fast and overlay. In a bit. In a bit.


I mean like I didn't grow up here but like having a high school that doesn't have asbestos falling apart is important. I know it's expensive but I feel like it's worth it in the long run because that's people's education. I'm out here because I think it's really important for our community that we have a fully functioning high school and Macy's has been a great stop gap in the meantime but it's not a long term solution. It's critical. We don't have a thriving community without a thriving high school and being in Macy's is fantastic. It's an incredible lift that we did that was an incredible success but it's temporary. Definitely build the high school. It's very important. It's going to bring a lot of jobs. It's going to bring a lot of teachers. It's going to bring a lot of everything to our land in Burlington. I'm definitely the high school one. I'm native of Burlington and I went to Burlington High School myself. And I think that the city deserves a high school and a function in high school. So definitely be voting for it for sure. Like the kids at BHS need a high school because there's this full of asbestos and they're going to school in the mall and I think they should have a high school. Yes, especially for me the high school one feels I'm a retired educator and I just think that's so important for a community. It's the least a community can do for their children. I'm two middle school students and I would like to see a high school built so anything it takes. The development of a new high school was very important to me. The kids who have had to go to high school in the last few years have gone to something that isn't appropriate for them and this city is wealthy enough to be able to support a really good school. Yeah I think the new high school is very important. I voted for it. I don't have a lot of money but we have to have a high school. My kids both had to go to school at the Macy's. Not ideal. They're not going to benefit from the new high school but I want the future generations to have a real high school. Yeah, so I played hockey with a few kids who have gone to school in that high school and I've heard some of their thoughts so it's an interesting, I don't have kids myself so it's interesting to hear. I definitely think we need a new high school. Seems like it's going to be expensive but I think that's just, I think it's always going to be expensive so it's just the price we pay. I voted for it. We need a high school. What kind of a community would it be if we didn't have a high school for the children of our community? Yeah, definitely that's what brought me out today to vote for the new high school. In favor. I love education. We should definitely, the kids need a place to learn. I've got a one year old. He's going to need a place to learn so vote yes for the school. I think we really do need to buy like a really good, expensive, furnished high school that will last like 100 or even 200 years but what are your thoughts? Yeah, no I think the buildings are very important. It's also very much about the experiences that are going on and not just in those buildings but especially high school students getting them out in the community like you're doing right now is really, really important. So while the facilities are important, it's the experiences that are the most important and getting out in the community is, there's no substitute for that. So what you're doing is fundamental for education. Good evening. I'm Jordan Butterfield here with Christine Lott and we're here to do the general election preview show. We're doing the election results show tonight at 7.30 but for now we're going to give you a little sneak preview. You can watch us on channel17.tv. You can watch us on our channels at Comcast 1087, Broads and Telecom 217 and 317. Also want to thank our other Van Public Access partners. Orca Media is helping us out with the Republican Party. Media Factory gave some technical support and we're going to be checking in with Jeanette and MMCTV. BCTV is also airing our program this evening. Big night, Christine. It is. Well, we just heard exit voices from folks in Burlington. Lot of support for that big bond project for the high school so that's interesting. We have at the state level a lot of interesting races as well. You know, a third of the state Senate has turned over in the house. Half of the committee leaders will be new this session. So we could see a lot of new voices, potentially new priorities. This could be a really different biennium than we have seen in the last two years. Yeah. And the national election, also big news. We're going to be hearing a bit about that from some analysts later on in the night. They'll be joining Jordan Mitchell via Zoom. We'll be watching the big Senate and Congress races. Yeah, that's a really interesting one too, right? Potentially. First time Vermont sends a woman to Congress. Definitely state never to have done so. Could see Welch elevating to that Senate seat that Leahy has been in for longer than I've been alive. Yep. Yep. Definitely longer than I've been alive too. Also want to thank our exit voices, folks that went out this morning. It was a cold morning cooler than we expected, but had a lot of people who went out and did that. Thanks to Bobby, Emily, Navarro, Travis, Kate, and Scott for going out there. We'll be checking in with a few of those other folks at the parties later on in the evening. I saw a lot of candidates out at the polls near me today. Definitely shivering out there. Yes. It was great to see folks making the rounds. Again, there's so many new people running. It's another opportunity to connect with voters. We had also in Winooski, I think we're on track for a record turnout for this election. A couple of hours ago, we were already at 50% of registered voters had been in or voted by mail. Yeah. And I think, was this the first election that vote by mail was across the board? You had to request a ballot before, right, during the pandemic? Yes. But they did deliver them this year directly to everyone's household. Yep. So it'd be interesting to see as we watch election results coming through, seeing how those vote totals come out. Let's look at our election page real quick to just show folks what that's going to look like. We have, as usual, our election results webpage in which you'll be able to check throughout the night to see results as they come through. No votes coming in yet, as the clerks have not been reporting, the polls haven't closed yet, but this is the way it'll look. You'll be able to check in and see all of our local Chittenden County races, statewide races. You'll be able to check out the Secretary of State's website. We'll be looking at that as well tonight. Good reminder, if you haven't voted yet, polls are open until 7 p.m. Go to your local polling place if you have not already. Make sure you do that. Yep. Still plenty of time left. If you are in the Chittenden Solid Waste District area as well, there is a separate bond item. I wanted to vote on that today as it was not included in the mail-in ballot. I know we even heard some people went to vote and then came back later and said, oh, I didn't know. I didn't know about the CSWD vote. I got to come back and do that one as well. Yeah. I'm hoping for a great turnout across the board. We also have those ballot items at the state level, Prop 2 and Prop 5, that are I think likely to pass, but it will be interesting to see what the turnout is there too. It's to remove language around slavery and to protect reproductive liberty for our state. We had a lot of people, had a lot of thoughts about Prop 2 and Prop 5 in our Exit Voices team, which we'll check in with later in the night. But for now, let's go to the Democratic Party. The parties are finally back in person. We had a few years of Zoom parties and that kind of thing, but now we get to send teams back to these party events. So the Democratic Party is at Hula in Burlington. We'll check in with the Republicans in a little bit. But for right now, let's see what they're doing at the Democrats. Thank you so much, Jordan and Christine. Bobby and I are excited to be here at the Democratic Party at Hula in Burlington. We're going to be bringing you speeches from candidates as well as interviews from candidates and other exciting figures from the Democratic Spear in Chittenden County. That's right, Emily. We're going to a couple of folks that we're really excited to chat with tonight and hear more from. So we hope to interview folks up and down the ballot tonight and hope to have more for you soon. Well, Bobby and I can't wait. And back to you, Studio A. Thanks, Bobby and Emily, looking good there, looking forward to hearing some more stuff from folks over at the Democratic Party. And we'll check in with the Republicans in a little bit. But for now, this is also a big year for redistricting. Yeah, that's another factor, you know, not just a lot of turnover, new faces, voices coming to the table, but redistricting, breaking up the sort of block in Chittenden County impactful for reps in state Senate, I think particularly the state Senate. You know, we're going from having six senators for all of Chittenden County, something like 160,000 people to having three districts. The narrowing the scope of folks that they have to represent and potentially changing the makeup as well. Yeah, it's changing a lot of these districts into more rural districts than the old Chittenden County Senate district used to be, you know, the new Chittenden North District and the Chittenden Southeast District, a lot more rural voters and it's not as centralized and urban voice as it used to be. So it's changed the makeup. Yeah. That'll change or that already has changed the constituents that these folks are talking to, you know, for some of our incumbents, they've got to sort of shift what they're prioritizing and how they're meeting in the middle for the folks they're representing. You know, I think there was previously a sentiment in the state house about the Chittenden County Senate delegation being like urban, Burlington dominated and I think there's an opportunity here to say like this is more representative or more diverse representation. Could change how those folks interact in the party politics, as it were. Right. In Winooski, did you see any change in the way Senate candidates were interacting? I definitely did. So Chittenden Central, much smaller district, all of Winooski, part of Burlington, Essex Junction and I saw all those candidates come, you know, come to events in Winooski more than once. I think that's more than I have ever seen in the past and I think that's a testament to having a smaller base to represent. You're able to spend more time and really get to know your constituents a little bit better. Right. And in that Chittenden Central district we're likely to see some new senators coming in. Two state senators retired, Chris Pearson and Michael Sorokin, both had served for quite some time. Yep. Not seeking reelection. So in Chittenden Central we had Phil Baruth, the incumbent, running again and then three new candidates running for those remaining two seats. That Chittenden Central district has three seats. Yeah.  We have Tanya Vajovski from Essex Select Board, Martine LeRogulik from the Burlington School Board and Infinite Colleclizia who had previously ran for mayor in Burlington. So I think they all have some name recognition in their respective areas. It was good to see them out in Winooski though, letting my residents know who they are. It'll be interesting to see who wins this one. You know, does our incumbent go on, what does the makeup of the rest of the group look like? Right. And Phil Baruth, the incumbent, if he does win reelection he's likely to become the president pro tempore of the Senate. That's what people think. So that's a big vote there. Could be a big deal too. He's a Burlington resident. Speaker of the House Jill Kerouzski is too in the region. So still some Chittenden dominance there potentially, but I know I've spoken with most of these folks and they're really there to represent everyone. We can also talk about Chittenden North. Chittenden North is the smallest new state Senate district. It's just one seat. It'll send somebody new to the state Senate. It'll be either Irene Renner, the Democrat, or Leland Morgan, the Republican. Interesting race there that people are keeping a close eye on. Yeah. Irene, coming from, gosh, is she, she's Fairfax, right? She's in Essex. Essex, Essex, my mistake, sorry. Coming from Essex, she's served there, Leland and Grand Isle County. And so they already have bases in this newly formed district. One more urban, one more rural. It'll be interesting to see who takes the lead there. This is potentially an area where a Republican could take a seat formally represented by a Democrat. That whole district actually has spread more north into the islands and so is creating more of a rural focus than previously. And same thing with the Chittenden Southeast seat. Three incumbents there. Three incumbents there, yeah. Ginny Lyons, long time in the Senate, Thomas Chittenden and Keisha Rumhinsdale, with two challengers, Dean Rowland and Rowan St. Mart. If either of them unseat three of these other sort of big names, I think that'll be, that'll be something to be talked about. As mentioned before, you know, for Lyons, Rumhinsdale and Chittenden, they are going to have to spread their focus now more into those rural areas and figure out what it is that everyone in this new district is really going to benefit by. Right. The most urban town that that covers really South Burlington and the rest of them are much more rural. Yeah. So it changes things up a lot. Yeah. And they were, you know, previously also focusing on Burlington and Winniesky and areas like that. So definitely a different focus for those folks. They live in the district though, so they're familiar at least. Lot of changes coming though. Yeah. Lot of turnover. I mean, even, you know, a lot of representatives retired. There are a lot of unopposed like new state representatives that are coming in and we'll talk about that throughout the night as well. I would say a lot of independents too have shown up and harder to track because they're not on the ballot. But Ryden, I've seen quite a few Ryden candidates pop up as well. So there's just, there's a lot of factors out there. It's going to be really hard to decipher who's going to come out in the leadership starting tomorrow. Yeah. That's right. We have, in addition to, we talked a little bit about the Burlington High School bond. I mentioned the Chittin and Solid Waste District bond for the recycling facility expansion and upgrades. There's also a communications union district for South Burlington, Williston, Essex and Westford. So a couple of things besides the candidates to think about for voters this evening. I was impressed to see on that Burlington High School those exit voices, a lot of support there from the community for a learning facility to support kids in Burlington. It's probably the largest school bond vote if it passes that historically will have passed. That's right. Yeah. In the last couple of years, a significant bond proposed in South Burlington that voters did not support. But school construction is something that has been on the table for the last couple of years. We had a bond vote in Winooski a couple of years ago and we're about to finish that project. That was also a big one for us. So a lot of need for that throughout the state really. Yeah. This is a question that a lot of towns are going to be dealing with for a while. There's been a moratorium on school construction aid from the state and so it's up to municipalities to towns to figure out how they're going to finance this and make sure that they're keeping their facilities up to date. Right. Yeah. Well, let's visit the Republicans and take a quick look over there. See what it looks like. They are in Barrie at the Elks Lodge. They'll be joining us later on in the evening with some interviews. Right now we'll take a look at, we'll take a look at this. Yeah. There's the space. Yeah. I know. This looks like. Oh, that looks like Hula. Yeah. That looks like Hula. There's the Elks Lodge. There's the GOP. That'll be in Barrie. We'll also look at the progressive party later as well. Hopefully get some interviews back from them. That's happening at RERAWS. So that's going to be a, that'll be interesting. Oh, fun. Yeah. So that's at the polls when I left this morning on clearly on the Democratic side because they were talking about Hula. They sounded really excited to be back in person to celebrate or, you know, just be in community with each other after this election. So I'm sure there'll be enough, a good turnout at these events to get some interviews going later on. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm looking forward to hearing from them. Yeah. We have state representatives to watch tonight too on the ballot. There is some challenges there and also quite a few unopposed races, which is interesting. And we'll be checking in throughout the night for that.  So there's a lot of representatives on the ballot. You can check that out on our election page. Let's take a look at that real quick. You can always, we'll be doing this throughout the night. Polls close at seven. So you still have time to go out and vote before that closes. But as that comes, we will have our very busy election results room in here, collecting results from all the clerks. This is one of the first places you can check out. We will have Chittenden County results. If you're looking for statewide results, you can go to the Secretary of State's website. We'll be checking that as well to get information on the governor, Congress, the candidate, that kind of thing. Yeah. So there's also a number of statewide offices, right? We've got Governor Scott up for reelection, challenged Brenda Seigl on the Democratic side, but a couple of other folks in that pool as well. And on the Lieutenant Governor side, we have David Zuckerman returning, vying for that seat again. It'll be interesting to see if we go back to Scott Zuckerman administration or if there's Joe Benning in that seat or Ian Diamonstone. Right. Yeah. I know Joe Benning was challenging Zuckerman saying, is this a springboard to high office or I'm going to stay here? But I heard I did some editing for the exit voices, a lot of support for David Zuckerman. So it'll be interesting to see that one. That's something that people have been watching. So and that's a talking point that I recall from the primaries with the Lieutenant Governor seat. There's a number of people running, talking about it's a seat that can sometimes be thought of as ceremonial versus really an implementer of any sort of policy. And so what will the person in that seat do with that title when they get there? And I know there's been discussion about this for a long time about what more could the Lieutenant Governor's office be. Some of the different things that could be done. Yeah. I think there's room for changes there but we'll see. Time will tell. Few other state offices up, the state's attorney for Chittenden County, Sarah George, no challengers, the state auditor and secretary of state both seeing departures of folks who've been in there for a long time. Yeah. Retired long time folks. Secretary of state, Beth Pierce, state treasurer and then T.D. Donovan leaving for a job at Roblox. Yeah so significant changes across the board. Lots of changes. Lots of new people. Yeah. So speaking of the exit voices earlier on, let's check in with some student interns that they polled UVM students on voting, Luke, Harrison, Tabitha, Brooke and Eric helped us out. So let's take a look at what they what they saw today. I already voted absentee. I voted absentee for Connecticut. I was going to vote absentee but I forgot so I'm going to vote tomorrow. I actually already voted online for my state, yeah, or not online in mail. I think it's important to vote because without voting then government is pointless. I think it's important to vote especially as a young person it's important to like stay informed about what's going on and make our voices heard and our opinions heard on what should happen by casting a vote. There's a few ballot measures in Connecticut and that's very important to me. A lot of the races aren't close but a lot of the ballot measures are important to me, like are we voting? So we want to support that. It's our democracy and it's how we can make our voice heard in general and while some people believe it doesn't make that much of an impact, it may not make a global impact at times. It makes a very large impact in our general community and general facility like your town or your state. Vermont has a bunch of propositions on the ballot like the article 22 and I don't know what it's called but changing, amending the constitution to get rid of the slavery clause. It's also Vermont is not a close race it's very solid blue but I think it's important to like secure progressive candidates in Vermont so yeah. I mean more specifically this year for like abortion rights and everything that is like affecting me personally as a woman. I think it's important to vote because everybody's voice matters and if you think that it doesn't then if everybody thinks that then nothing's going to get done. And you're speaking for the people who don't have a voice. Just to make sure I'm involved in the community making sure the changes are happening. It's really not that hard and you just check in some boxes and if you have a politically aligned friend they'll be happy to guide you through everything. I mean ultimately it's their decision whether they want to vote or not but it's not very hard to vote so I don't understand why you wouldn't do it. If you don't vote I like what the other guy said you can't complain it's your one chance to kind of put your input to the government so if you don't do it then it's too bad for you. Lots of well informed UVM students. Definitely yeah it was great to hear them talking about the proposals. You know one of the national narratives is potentially reproductive rights being a driver for high turnout. So here in Vermont we have a potential constitutional amendment in Prop 5 to strengthen that protection for Vermonters. Something that clearly our legislature saw the writing on the wall about the Supreme Court's actions that happened this year. So we have the language up here. You know the proponents here's a way to strengthen our protections here in Vermont. Opposition I think what I've heard is an ambiguity of language or concern. I know I heard about this from folks on both sides of the aisle being supportive of this so I feel confident that this one will pass. I know we are not the only state that's looking at a proposal like this. In Michigan are also looking at similar proposals so this is something that also having some national attention to see is Vermont one of the states who's going to enshrine this in our constitution. Yeah and was it Kansas or Oklahoma? They did something earlier this year and saw a massive turnout in support of trying to make those protections. And then the Second Amendment Proposal 2 removing language related to slavery from the Constitution so there's some language in there that specifically refers to basically indentured servitude which I think a lot of us were probably surprised to find that this still exists in the Vermont state constitution. I mean Vermont prides itself as being the first state to abolish slavery in the Union we still have it in our constitution. And so here's an opportunity here's our state government saying words matter we want to remove this and you know further strengthen that position that we're you know we want to address the past that we have but make sure that we are making sure that that doesn't happen again. And you know we saw through exit voices we saw a lot of support for these proposals we saw a lot of people who are very passionately against Prop 5 too and we'll be checking in with that on our election night results show later tonight so it'll be interesting to hear more from the public. I'm excited to see how the votes turn out on all of these issues. If you haven't voted yet remember you have until 7 p.m. so they're still an hour. Even if you get there right before the door closes if you're in line you will still have an opportunity to vote. That's right and before we wrap up let's we can touch on that big national race that people have been talking about. I know a lot of the public when we asked them what candidates are you looking at a lot of people were saying you know Beck and Ballant Peter Welch or you know Eric Heretic Gerald Malloy some of these top ticket folks at the U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress races. Yeah so you've got you know Welch making potentially the move from being our state representative for the last I don't know 10 plus years into that open Senate seat you know here's a guy who's he's been around a long time he's familiar and then you have Joe Malloy coming in sort of a new face I would say even in the Republican Party so that's a real interesting matchup. And just got a Trump endorsement recently within the last week which was controversial. Yeah and then it's actually a fuller field than that those are the two names that I've seen a lot here we have the the full array of candidates for U.S. Senator in in Vermont. Coaster Natasha Diamondstone co-hout Steven Duke Don Marie Ellis Carrie Patrick Rahab and Chris Erickson also running for that U.S. Senate seat. And so Welch's seat in the House of Representatives being opened up you know there was quite the quite the primary for that. We have Beck and Ballant coming from our state House from being Senate Pro Tem and then additionally we have Liam Madden running again kind of a newcomer. Right yeah running us avowed independent running in the Republican primary to get to get eyes on his campaign and winning the primary. Yeah so that was kind of surprising to see on the you know you've gotten established Republican and they selected an avowed independent to take that seat. So we'll see how that plays out as far as write ins and votes and things of that nature. One of his challenges in the primary Eric Erick still running and running on the libertarian ticket. Eric Liam Madden also had some hot water recently for some of the campaign finance questions yeah. Does require a little bit of education if you put yourself out there for public office. Yes yes it does yes we got some other folks that are running for that representative to Congress as well Matt Druzeba Adam Ortiz and Luke Talbot. We had some of those folks on a forum with Beck and Ballant in the last month so you can check that out on our website if you're interested. Once again there's still time to go out to the polls and still time to learn more about these candidates. I'm really looking forward to watching the results come in tonight. Yes yes so am I. And reminder even if you did your vote by mail there's a chitin and solid waste district ballot bond item that was not included there that you'll want to go to the polls to take care of that. Reminder we do this is just our preview show our election night our full election night results show will be coming later on in the evening at 7.30 we'll be with you for two and a half hours so it's going to be a nice long night we'll be checking in and seeing how things shake up if you want to watch us.
