The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Friday, October 24, 2025.

(Oct 24, 2025) Gov. Kathy Hochul is weighing whether to sign legislation that would allow someone with a terminal illness to end their life; after workers with newly remote jobs left cities for the countryside during the pandemic, some who moved to the North Country are still here;  and John Warren checks on trail conditions in the Adirondacks.

Europe stands at a turning point. In her address to the IIEA, Esther Lynch, General Secretary of the ETUC, argues that Europe's competitiveness renewal lies not in deregulation and decline, but in combining investment and social justice. The next Social Contract needs to deliver a Quality Jobs Agenda to boost collective bargaining, drive fair transitions, deliver fair wages, end exploitation, increase investment for a European Industrial Policy. She calls for all public investment to deliver social conditionalities ensuring every euro creates quality jobs and ends the race to the bottom. The next Social Contract must be something all workers can rely on not just something they read about, every job should be a quality job, and all workers should be free from fear about tomorrow. About the Speaker: Esther Lynch is the General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation. Previously, Ms Lynch was Deputy General Secretary at the ETUC from 2019 to 2022, following four years as Confederal Secretary. Esther led on social dialogue, collective bargaining and wage policy, trade union rights, gender equality. She has extensive trade union experience at Irish, European and international levels, starting with her election as a shop steward in the 1980s. Before coming to the ETUC, she was the Legislation and Social Affairs Officer with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), where she took part in negotiations on Ireland's National Social Partner Agreements. As Deputy General Secretary and as Confederal Secretary she led successful actions aimed at improving workers and trade union rights in legislative initiatives such as the Directive on Adequate Minimum Wages, the Transparent and Predicable Working Conditions Directive and the Whistleblowing Directive, she also ran a successful campaign that mobilised support for the European Pillar of Social Rights and the ETUC's ‘Europe Needs a Pay Rise' campaign. In addition to securing the adoption of 15 legally binding occupational exposure limits to protect workers from exposure to carcinogens, as well as concluding social partners' agreements on digitalisation and on reprotoxins. A lifelong feminist, Esther is pushing for measures to end the undervaluing of work predominantly done by women.

Scott Kaier makes his second appearance on the show today. You can his first vist way back on episode 232 in August 2020. As President of Formidable Media, Scott helps a select group of clients build their brands globally through tailored marketing services—public relations, custom content, paid media, and social support. As Senior VP at Green Threads DPP, Scott also leads efforts around the EU's upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) legislation, guiding companies through compliance and integration. His specialties include textiles, sustainable materials, performance fabrics, and the outdoor industry. Show Notes You ever have that moment where you realize you've been playing the game backwards? That was me, mid-career, sitting in a glossy outdoor brand office with beautiful gear… that nobody wanted to write about. What Happened: I didn't come from some Madison Avenue ad agency. I started in bike shops — greasy hands, mismatched gear, and an obsession with adventure. I wasn't chasing media hits, I just wanted to be around people who got it. Fast forward a few years, I'm deep into PR for top-tier outdoor brands, working with media, crafting stories, and yet… I'd see some products completely flop in the press while others (less exciting, in my opinion) stole the spotlight. At first, I took it personally. Like, why aren't they seeing the story here? But here's what I learned: the best stories aren't the ones brands tell about themselves — they're the ones that resonate. Principle: Outdoor brands often fall in love with their products, not their audience. They get caught up in their idea of what's newsworthy, forgetting that real stories aren't about features — they're about connection. And connection comes from authenticity, timing, and meeting people where they are. Transition: Most outdoor brands are struggling not because they don't have great gear, but because they're telling stories no one is listening to. The market has changed. What worked in the golden age of trade shows and glossy magazine spreads doesn't fly in today's fragmented media world. And while your product might be sustainable, your message might not be. That's why this week's podcast episode is such a wake-up call for brand leaders trying to stay relevant. Scott Kaier dives deep into what the outdoor industry gets wrong (and right) about media, storytelling, and brand strategy — and what's coming next with EU digital product passports and sustainability compliance. Call to Action: Still wondering why your product isn't getting the attention it deserves? That's the pain. Getting ghosted by media, confused by content trends, feeling like your message gets lost? That's the agitation. Scott's been on both sides — agency and in-house — and he shares the mindset shift that changes everything. That's the solution.

The government's controversial changes to its Foreshore and Seabed legislation have passed in Parliament. Political reporter Russell Palmer reports.

Legislation, including Nick Langworthy's "Energy Choice Act" is being held up by the government shutdown. Washington insider Dave Levinthal has the latest

This marks the third week of the federal government shutdown: an epic failure of congressional leaders from both political parties who couldn't agree on how fund the government for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.And now many experts inside and outside of government believe this could be the longest shut down in history, surpassing the previous recordholder, which occurred, ironically, during the first term of President Donald Trump.Reporting on the nuances of the federal government shutdown during the next edition of Monitor Mondays will be veteran ICD10monitor correspondent Timothy Powell. Powell is a regular panelist on the long-running Talk Ten Tuesdays Internet broadcast. In his day job, Powell, a certified public accountant (CPA), is a healthcare consultant.The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.

In Episode 227, Dave starts by riffing about his fears regarding the current spot prices of gold and silver by talking through an article from The Capitalist substack. From there, he reads some headlines from his email before detouring into a discussion on the shutdown, Hamas, and Putin. After all of that national and geopolitical news, Dave turns his attention to Gavin Newsom and his Glock ban. Dave then discusses a couple topics starting with the planned ‘No Kings Day' protests and the 175k applicants for ICE. After that, Dave celebrates some MAHA news but is leery of the fiber increase given the tainted grain in this country. He closes the show with some more proven conspiracy theories with weather modification.  Article Links: Trump warns Hamas if terror group 'continues to kill people in Gaza' by Alexandra Koch from Fox News Trump, Putin plan Hungary meeting on Ukraine war, Zelenskyy to visit White House Friday by Caitlin McFall from Fox News Gov.

In this episode, Joe and Robert break down the latest moves in the ongoing battle between lawmakers and social media giants. California is leading the charge with new AI and social media legislation — plus, Instagram is testing a “rating system” for content. Is this meaningful progress or just more political theater? The guys also cover how OpenAI and Anthropic are stepping into the marketing world. OpenAI's first ad sparks debate (is it a miss?), while Anthropic's experiential push might have us all saying “Oh Claude.” Winners and Losers: Winner: Buc-ee's - proving that a gas station can be a brand powerhouse. Loser: Deloitte Australia - struggling to recover from credibility issues. Rants and Raves: Rant: The rise of rage bait - how outrage is driving engagement for all the wrong reasons. Rave: Personal videos on LinkedIn - authentic storytelling that actually connects.

On this episode of Fully Invested, asset management partners, Eric Requenez and Jessica Reece, along with Josh Lichtenstein, a benefits partner and head of the ERISA fiduciary practice, discuss collective investment trusts (CITs) as a compelling strategy for raising and investing money for asset managers.

In this episode, Jeff points out the ridiculousness of the belief that President Trump has brought peace to the Middle East with the ceasefire agreement he got Israel and Hamas to sign. There is a mountain of evidence which makes clear that this ceasefire is simply a lull until the next war. In the meantime, the leftists/terrorists are making massive inroads into America and our failure to cut off the head of the terror snake will be our country's greatest failure in the not so distant future.In other news, Bruce Cutler has passed, at one point the most famous lawyer in the world. Bruce also was the lawyer who had a large part in getting Jeff to drop Pre-med in college and go to law school. In this podcast, Jeff recounts some very funny Bruce stories from years past.

After more than four decades in prison, a Pennsylvania man’s murder conviction was vacated over the summer. On Friday, he was finally released — and immediately detained by ICE. Many County leaders in Pennsylvania say they’re fed up with the state’s late budget — now in its fourth month — as the federal government has also shut down. People with dementia and their family caregivers may be eligible for a new Medicare program called GUIDE. It's designed to bring better supportive services to families who may be struggling to afford or coordinate care for a loved one on their own. A 14-year-old Lancaster County boy is being charged with making terroristic threats after police said he threatened a school shooting on social media. In York County, police are searching for a 17-year-old wanted for homicide, in connection with a shooting victim found early Friday morning in York. Election day is less than a month away, on November 4th. In Lancaster County, six of the county's 18 boroughs have contested mayoral races this fall. For the third quarter of 2025, PA State Police denied over 4,200 individuals from purchasing a firearm through the Pennsylvania Instant Check System, or PICS. Legislation introduced in the state Senate would close a loophole in the law which allows disabled military veterans in Pennsylvania to apply for a hunting license at no cost to them.

Welcome back to Intellicast! On today's episode, Brian is joined by market research's favorite lobbyist, the Senior Vice President of Advocacy for the Insights Association, Howard Fienberg. He makes his return to Intellicast to discuss the latest developments in privacy legislation and more. Kicking off the episode, Brian and Howard discuss the current state of privacy legislation in the United States. Howard gives an update on his efforts to help the industry navigate new state privacy legislation in 2025, on where we stand on new state privacy legislation that may be coming down the pipe.   The conversation changes its focus to a potential federal version of privacy legislation. Howard discusses the various efforts that have taken place in the past and why he believes the current efforts are distinct. He is cautiously optimistic that we could see a serious proposal introduced in 2026. Brian and Howard then discuss the LiveRamp lawsuit and its current and future impact on the market research industry. Howard mentions how this lawsuit has spotlighted how trial lawyers are twisting old surveillance laws, initially written for phone wiretaps, to sue companies over tracking cookies. Even if most cases aren't held up in court, they're expensive and distracting. In the final segment, Brian and Howard discuss the recent decision in the EU to uphold the Data Privacy Framework, the current agreement that allows U.S. companies to transfer data from the EU. This may have flown under the radar for many, but Howard talks about how important this court ruling is for every business in market research.
