Time to set back the clocks, much to Trump's chagrin

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorClocks in America fall back this Sunday at two a. m. local time, and that means one extra hour of sleep for most of us, which is the best news I've had all week.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMost of us. Hawaii and most of Arizona don't change their clocks at all, so they're sleeping through the whole argument.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBack in July the House voted to make daylight saving time permanent with the Sunshine Protection Act, and nineteen states have passed their own laws to match.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo where's the holdup?

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFederal law needs an act of Congress, and the AP says the Senate is unlikely to act before the end of the year.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTrump posted that the Senate is letting the bill die, and earlier this month he posted Senator Tom Cotton's personal cellphone number and told him to get it done.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHis personal number? What did Cotton say?

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat Congress has repealed permanent daylight saving time every time Americans lived through those absurdly late winter sunrises.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTrump wrote in twenty nineteen that the time change is inconvenient and very costly.

10. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGallup says forty-eight percent want permanent standard time, and twenty-four percent want permanent daylight saving. Verdict: the clocks win again.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty-four percent want it, and he has the phone number of one senator. So far that's the whole poll.
