OF YOUR THURSDAY WITH US HERE

ON MID-MORNING.

THE DEBATE OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING

TIME IS HEATING UP AGAIN WITH

MOST AMERICANS SPRINGING

FORWARD ON SUNDAY, MARCH 8th.

TALKING ABOUT CHANGING THE

CLOCKS AND THE WEATHER, THE TWO

MOST POPULAR TOPICS FOR

OPINIONS.

A NEW SURVEY SHOWS 55% OF

AMERICANS FEEL TIRED AFTER THE

TIME CHANGE IT MAY BE BECAUSE

IT'S MONDAY, BUT MAYBE IT'S THE

TIME CHANGE.

ANOTHER SURVEY FROM THE

ASSOCIATED PRESS SHOWS 70% OF

AMERICANS ARE OVER IT, AND THEY

WANT TO STOP SWITCHING THE

CLOCKS.

I SAY IF WE DON'T WANT TO DO

IT, WHY NOT STOP DOING IT?

WHY ARE WE STILL DOING THIS?

WE DON'T NEED TO ADJUST OUR

CLOCKS BECAUSE OF CANDLES.

WE HAVE LIGHTS.

IT'S A DEBATE EVERY YEAR.

LET'S BE DONE.

THE IDEA IT WOULD SAVE

ENERGY, AND WE HAVE FOUND IT

DOES NOT SAVE ANY ENERGY.

LET'S GO!

WHAT'S THE HANGUP THEN?

IF PEOPLE WILL BE HAPPY?

YOU HAVE LITTLE KIDS, HOW IS

PARENTING WITH THAT?

I AM FINE GETTING RID OF IT

BECAUSE OF MY LITTLE KIDS!

I WILL TELL YOU, IT TOOK A

MONTH TO GET BACK ON TRACK

AFTER NOVEMBER, A FULL MONTH.

MY KIDS ARE TIED TO THE CLOCK,

AND I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE I

THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE TIE TO

THE LIGHT, AND IT'S THE CLOCK.

YEAH, AND I DON'T THINK OUR

ROUTINE CHANGED.

KIDS IN BED AT 7:00 EVERY

NIGHT, WAKING UP BETWEEN 6 AND

7 EVERY DAY, AND MAYBE I WAS

TIRED AND DON'T REMEMBER,

HONESTLY, BUT HERE'S THE THING,

I REALLY DON'T CARE.

IF IT'S GOING TO STAY THAT WAY

FOREVER, I HAVE BEEN DEALING

WITH IT FOR 42 YEARS.

KIDS WILL ADJUST.

DID YOUR LITTLE ONE HAVE?

I DON'T HAVE SCHOOL-AGED

CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE TALKED

ABOUT THE CONCERN ABOUT BEING

LIGHT OUTSIDE, BUT I WILL BE

HONEST, IT WAS NO PROBLEM TO ME

BEFORE I HAD A KID, AND NOW IT

WAS THE WORST THING EVER.

HE'S ALREADY AN EARLY RISER,

AND TO GET UP AN HOUR EARLIER,

I WAS LIKE, WE ARE NOT DOING

THIS.

I WILL CHANGE MY MIND WHEN

MY KIDS ARE OLDER AND NEED TO

BE AT THE DARK BUS STOP.

RILEY, YOU MONITOR WHEN THE

SUNRISE AND SUNSET IS, AND IF

WE DIDN'T CHANGE THE CLOCK IN

MINNESOTA, NOT TRUE IN ALL

STATES, BUT THERE WOULD BE A

STRETCH OF WINTERTIME WHERE YOU

WOULD HAVE PITCH BLACK DARKNESS

AT 8 IN THE MORNING.

WHATEVS!

[ LAUGHTER ]

IT FEELS LIKE THAT ALREADY.

IN THE SUMMERTIME, PEOPLE

ARE COMPLAINING, THE SUN IS

SETTING AT WHAT TIME?

IT'S DARK LATE.

ESPECIALLY FOR ME WHO GOES TO

BED AT 7-ISH, THE SUN IS

BRIGHT, BRIGHT, BRIGHT.

I LOVE THAT.

I DO, TOO.

FOR ME, IT'S HARD.

WE SHOULD CHANGE THE CLOCKS.

I LOVE SUMMERTIME.

JUST ADJUST TO IT.

THERE ARE BILLS PENDING IN

THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

NOT GETTING ANYWHERE.

THE LEGISLATORS LOVE TO

PANDER, AND NOTHING MORE

PANDERING THAN THIS RIDICULOUS

CONVERSATION.

IF IT WILL ALLOW US TO GET

MORE SLEEP?

IF WE CHANGE IT, YOU CHANGE

ONCE, NEVER CHANGE THE CLOCKS.

A TRIAL YEAR?

LIKE, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

WE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE

SUPER BOWL TO SATURDAY.

OH, MY, OCTOBER, CHANGE

HALLOWEEN.

YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE

DAYTONA 500 WEEKEND TO A

DIFFERENT WEEKEND.
