Western New York Defense Attorney Mario J. Fratto has always been a type of person to say what is on his mind. When candidate Donald Trump entered the political arena, Trumps disdain of traditional political norms attracted Fratto to then candidate Trump.Two years into his Trump’s Presidential term, Fratto admits things are a bit dysfunctional, but he’s sticking by his guy. Fratto believes the system is so rotted from within, dysfunction is something that could be beneficial- it certainly has motivated citizens from all political persuasions to tune into political as was seen by November’s near historic voter participation.Fratto chats with Chilly Pete about politics in 2018, jumping from one hot button issue to the next with some predictions for the new year. They keep it civil and they both hope for calm in 2019, but Fratto admits calm is an unlikely political reality once Democrats take the Congressional gavel on January 3rd.Be sure to subscribe to Chilly Underground on your favorite Podcasting services including iTunes, Spotify, Spreaker.Listen to Chilly Underground live every Saturday 1pm on Radio RAMPA 620 AMFor more visit: www.ChillyUnderground.com

This is the last program of the 2018 calendar year. One of my main passions is politics, so I thought I would speak to two individuals who also share a passion of the political gridiron- one from political left and one from the political right- to hear what they thought of the past year- a year that would never end.Due to the 24/7 wall to wall political coverage of the Trump Presidency, which typically goes from one scandal to to the next, sometimes scandals by Presidential Twitter design, it is harder and harder to keep track of time. Things just seem to be so blurry and keeping track of political data points continually is becoming tougher to do as our heads keep spinning. Congress doesn’t even convene until January 3rd, but the November election seems like it happened a year ago. The migrant children being taken into custody and put into change linked pens also seems like years ago, as does the Kim Jong Un/ Trump summit, but that too happened this past year. We speak to Patrick McGill- a Washington DC based Democratic political consultant who is currently very bullish after what he dubs Novembers election- a Blue Tsunami. We are then joined by a Western NY attorney and Trump supporter , Mario Fratto, who sees things very differently. He’s much more pessimistic about the months to come, especially with this new Democratically controlled Congress, and Fratto sadly believes the political tribalism the country witnessed this past fall during the Brett Kavanaugh Hearing will be more of what we come to expect as normal in 2019. For our countries sake, I hope that is not the case.So for this week it is two civil political conversations, from both sides of the aisles.Be sure to subscribe to Chilly Underground on your favorite Podcasting services including iTunes, Spotify, Spreaker.Listen to Chilly Underground live every Saturday 1pm on Radio RAMPA 620 AMFor more visit: www.ChillyUnderground.com

We begin this weeks edition of Chilly Underground with a conversation revolving around the breaking news out of Albany that Governor Cuomo is quickly changing his attitude on recreational cannabis. With Michigan and Massachusetts going fully legal in the last two weeks, the cannabis landscape is changing at break neck speed. "We're drafting legislation," Rich Azzopardi, a spokesman for the governor, told NBC News earlier this week- which could be introduced to the state legislature as soon as January.
