Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, you can text the cooner man
seven zero four seven zero seven zero four seven zero.
A lot of texts are pouring in. This is from
six one seven Jeff. I am a veteran. I battle
(00:21):
PTSD and depression and have been for years. I still
raise the family of five, and never did I want
to shoot up places, nor do I take prescription antidepressants.
I have a great wife, family, and some close friends
who have gotten me to this point. You can't fix
(00:41):
anything if you don't acknowledge that something is wrong. Excellent point.
Excellent point five oh eight, Jeff, your previous caller Lynn
is one thousand percent correct. Just turn the TV on
for five freaking minutes. Every other commercial is a medication advertisement.
(01:05):
You're dead on five o eight. Really, it's one big
pharma ad after another after another after another. That's why
they're not going to talk about SSRIs now. My sister
Jen seems to be on the warpath over this issue.
I don't know if she's feeling touchy because my nephew
or son, Andrew, by the way, very good high school
(01:28):
football player, now has ended his high school career as
a football player, and she's feeling a little bit defensive.
But this is what she texted me, Jeff, do you
see what the left has done. We are talking about
how bad football is for boys, with like three exclamation marks.
They keep us away from the real issue. Why are
(01:52):
our young boys depressed, more violent, and not motivated in life.
They took religion out of school. They told them how
evil religion is. They told them being masculine is bad.
They may actually be a woman and they should explore that.
They said being depressed is normal. Republicans are ruining your life.
(02:17):
They said, just take medical marijuana, antidepressants. They give them
a trophy when none is deserved, making them believe they're
all a big star. The Left is destroying our boys.
That is the real problem. And then she adds football
(02:38):
is excellent for boys. It keeps them physically fit. They
have to maintain a good GPA to stay on the team.
They bond with other boys and other make other friends,
and they learn how important teamwork is. The problem is
what happens everywhere else when they're not playing football, life,
(03:00):
spiritual life in the classroom, and of course their virtual
life i e. Playing video games, six, eight, ten, twelve
hours a day. The left would like nothing more than
to take boys out of football and put them in dresses.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
(03:24):
Roman in Boston, Thanks for holding Roman and welcome.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Good morning, Good morning, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
How are you very good? Roman? Very good? How are
you my friend?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm okay, Jeff. You know, the more the show wore
on and everything, I agree with callers and Texas that
this may not probably not CTE, it's probably mental illness.
And I explain what I've been thinking. This guy had
the cognitive ability to drive from Nevada to New York
(03:58):
and basically wanted to time it for when everybody got out.
But did it? And who did he take out? First?
The first threat? You need cognitive ability to recognize if
there's a police officer or with him and one of
my brothers is dead now? And then who he take out?
A female? Third, who do you take out a potential
a potential threat with in a security guard? Because he
(04:20):
didn't know if he was ombed or not. This guy
knew exactly what he was doing. There was no He
can't blame it on concussions. He's he can't blame it
on anything a problem that we have in our society today.
This kid grew up playing JV football. That's all he
could that's all he could make, Yet he was told
that he's a superstar. We have raised a bunch of
(04:44):
narcissistic kids whose parents and coaches give them a false
sense that they have princes and princesses, and when things
don't go their way, things go downhill for that kid.
They don't know what it's like to fail, because by
we grow and we learn. Yeah, this guy CT now,
(05:08):
I haven't watched to be honest with you, I have
watched football since Kaepernick Guild. I haven't watched any sports
since Captick Gield. I'm done with it. But I don't
blame the NFL at all. And your sister has made
a lot of good points in her text, you know
what I mean. Everybody gets a trophy. All this this
pandering and this with these kids with society and and
(05:32):
all that mean very good points.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Rum And I think you nailed it. No, I think
you're right that. Look we raise our kids now, it's
very different. They're entitled, as you put it, they're narcissistic.
Everybody gets a trophy. Okay, just very very quickly. Does
it have anything to really do with what happened in
New York yesterday? No, but I don't know why. But
(05:56):
it's something that has struck me about our society, and
it's days with me to this day. This was about
maybe ooh twenty years ago when I was working in
the newsroom at the Washington Times. Anyway, long story short,
there was an editor at the copy desk and he
clearly had serious mental issues, you can just tell. Apparently
(06:20):
I found out after they hired him, because he began
harassing everybody in the newsroom. That in the interview stage
before they gave him the job, he went on about
how he had spent months alone in the wilderness all
by himself, fantasizing about killing people, and that at times
(06:45):
he would fantasize about pushing people off of buildings. A
true story. And I remember when I heard this. I'm like,
and you still hired the guy? Like, what is wrong
with you people? And her answer was, well, that would
be discrimination. I'm like, discriminating, Yeah, I discriminating against the
(07:06):
mentally ill. I go, I go, are you serious? The
guy's fantasizing about killing people and you idiots still hire
him anyway, Long story short, there was an issue with
this guy every day, every night. It was a nightmare
for months. He would argue with everybody over every little point.
(07:30):
He's getting all stressed, He's I mean, he's gnashing his teeth,
he's sweating, he's turning red in the face. Why did
you use this word in the story and not that word?
And you're looking at him like, dude, like he's so wired.
You're like, this guy's gonna blow, Like this guy clearly
(07:52):
is not right in the head. Well, apparently it came
out that he was secretly videotaping everybody in the newsroom.
He would have conversations, say with me over a story
about and all he did was the copy desk, meaning
he just looks over the style of an article. In
(08:13):
other words, did you put a comma here? Or do
you put a colon or a semi colon or whatever
it may be. So it's just style. And this guy
was so obsessed with proving his point and somehow laying
a case. He was convinced that everybody was out to
(08:34):
get him. He was paranoid. He was completely paranoid. I'm telly.
The guy was nutty as a fruitcake that it turned
out he was having conversations with us and then secretly
taping us, recording us. Now, when I found out that
he was doing that, I'm like, this is such an
egregious violation of our privacy and this is so irresponsible
(08:58):
and unprofessional and frank crazy, and middle management refused to
do anything about it. And so I remember to one
of the top editors, I said, look, everybody in the reporters,
the editors, everybody's talking about this. They go, this guy
(09:20):
is going to come in here one day and he's
gonna go postal, He's going to shoot the place up
over some stupid grievance. And they're like, ha haa. It
was like a big joke to them. And so finally
when I found out he was secretly taping everybody, one
of the female editors started to cry. She was just like,
I can't he's been he argues with me over nothing,
(09:42):
He fights with me over nothing. We keep complaining, we
have much more important things to do than deal with
this guy who's a NonStop problem, and now we're finding
out all of our conversations behind which, by the way,
is against company policy. It's illegal, has been secretly recording us,
and you still won't do anything about it. I went
right into the managing editor this number, that's the number
(10:04):
two editor. I went to the managing editor's office, closed
the door, and I said, it's either him or me. Frankly,
if you want to know the truth, it's him or
the entire newsroom. Like, I don't know what it is
with this guy. What you're afraid of? Well, he could
claim discrimination, that he's mentally not all up there, mentally ill,
and that we're discriminating against the mentally ill. I go, look,
(10:27):
I'm not going to wait for this guy to come
in with a gun and shoot this place up, because
that's clearly now the path that we're on. And so finally,
after basically there was a newsroom rebellion, there's no other
way to put it, they finally fired this sob okay, Now,
my point is, and it went on for months. I'm
(10:49):
giving you the short, very short version of the story.
My point is this what I couldn't believe, and frankly
many others was number one, how this was a joke
to people in some people in management, like, what is
so funny? The guy is clearly not right in the head.
(11:13):
He clearly needs serious help. He's telling you he fantasizes
about killing people, shooting people, throwing people off of buildings,
and like, you guys, think what this is like Saturday
Night Live. This is a comedy show. How everything to
some people is a joke until it's not a joke.
(11:37):
And the lack of regard I don't know, for other
people's life, for other people's sensibilities, for other people's space
and privacy and autonomy. It was just the whole thing.
The lack of concern for fellow human beings, fellow employees,
(12:00):
and to me, this was what really stood out, the
sense of moral paralysis. Everybody knew he was crazy. Everybody
knew he was a ticking time bomb, that this guy
was trouble, there's no question, but nobody wanted to act.
(12:20):
Everybody was afraid to act. And I remember I kept
shaking my head like what is like, what does this
guy have to do before this guy gets fired? And
I'm sorry, I just go back to the image yesterday,
which is seared in my mind, and it's captured. I
think the national imagination, the national consciousness. You've got this savage,
(12:46):
this animal, this sicko walking out of his car double
parked with a freaking you know, I know it was
an M four rifle, but the thing looks almost like
like a machine gun. It looks like a cannon. And
he's just walking across the courtyard la la la la
(13:08):
la la, with his sunglasses and he's about to unleash
this massacre and nobody observes, nobody says anything, nobody cares,
nobody does anything, like, I don't is everybody's head in
(13:29):
a cell phone?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Are we just all hooked him looking at a cell phone? Like,
as one person texted me, Jeff, where was the situational awareness? Like,
I'm sorry, if I go down Boylston Street here in Boston,
you know, call me crazy, or I go to Boston
Common or take her bick. I walk around with an
M four rifle with a sunglasses, lad, and I'm about
(13:53):
to shoot up a place. La di da la di da?
Is everybody just gonna be all looking on my Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Launch sure, I'm free for lunch? Yeah sure, dinner?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
What do you want to have? Sushi? You want sushi,
Let's do sushi. I don't know this, I'm telling you.
The only thing that The only phrase that comes to
my mind is the lack of more. Like we've lost
our moorings, Like our moral bearings are social, moral, religious bearings.
(14:26):
It's just what should be so obviously wrong and should
be so obviously morally outrageous and used to be, you know,
open and shut, morally wrong, morally outrageous. Nobody does anything.
I'm sorry. It's like a moral spiritual malaise, and it's
(14:48):
like we're paralyzed. And now you're seeing the pictures are
coming out now the victims, not just a police officer,
but the actual victims. That poor woman that was killed
hiding behind the pillar. I've I mean, my god, my
heart breaks for her and her family. She didn't deserve that,
None of them deserve that. They just went to work.
That was their crime. They went to work and they
(15:12):
were planning to go home, and this animal killed them
over nothing, literally nothing. Jeff and Chelsea, thanks for holding
Jeff and welcome.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Jeff. No, no, yeah. As far as the situation's concerned,
I have a couple of takes on this situation because
I do security work for a living. Number one, as
far as firearms are concerned, I believe the government wants
to outlaw all firearms to all citizens except for approved individuals.
(15:47):
Number two. I believe down the line, with a couple
of attacks like this, the government will eliminate my job
as a security officer and make it a point to
have all security officers armed and federally trained, police academy trained,
and so forth. Number three, I believe the government will
(16:08):
eventually have a national police force because the bill will
come out that you cannot have amateurs do this. You
have to have the military and the police.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Jeff, can you do me a favor. I'm up against
a hardbreak. Please hang on. I think you're definitely onto something.
TIX one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. I want to read to you. Two texts,
and they're some of the two best texts I've ever
gotten in my entire career. I don't know what it
(16:41):
is about today's discussion, but it's absolutely been outstanding, really
outstanding from the entire audience. Texters, callers, you name it,
people who've emailed me. This is from six one seven, Jeff.
When my first daughter was three years old, was whining
and complaining that she wanted a toy. I finally gave
(17:06):
in and bought it for her. My mother, who was
a member of the Greatest Generation, said to me, quote,
I thought I spoiled you kids, and now the spoiled
are doing the spoiling. Looking back, Jeff, she was one
thousand percent correct. Interesting. Interesting, I never looked at it
(17:33):
that way. It's like almost like we've become overly spoiled
as a society, and that's why so many people feel,
you know, kids nowadays this. People feel entitled, People are narcissistic,
people are so self absorbed. People have no sense of
any kind of empathy or compassion for other people and
other human beings anyway. Just interesting, very interesting. Here's one
(17:57):
more seven eighty one. What you're describing is the lack
of morals, and this is a direct effect of the devil.
What's wrong is what's right is wrong, what's wrong is right,
what's up is down. There's no compassion for sadness or pain.
(18:21):
That is the effective evil on society. Some people ask God,
why did you abandon us? God replies, I never left you.
You left me. Dave in Vermont, Thanks for holding Dave,
(18:41):
and welcome Jeffrey bonjour. How are you, Dave? My friend,
my friend.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Hey, the way I see it, those of us who
have a little bit of age head of some education
of history. But the younger generation today have had no
education of history, and they it's been kind of hidden
from them. And what they're getting now we've become children
of the media. The media has taken the place of
(19:13):
the education system. And we've a been in that many
years ago, back in the late fifties, and we're beginning
to see the spillover of that now because these two
most effective things in the shaping of society has been
either an education system, the Bible or the media.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You know, Dave, that is an absolutely brilliant point. Brilliant,
absolutely brilliant, and I think you're right. It's cumulative. It
took time, it doesn't happen overnight, But you're right the
education system. Look how they're being indoctrinated, how their brains
are being marinated, how they're being brainwashed. And so many
(19:59):
of them now are chill of the media, social media
in particular, but children of the media, and they're at
the mercy of these people, and they have no sense
of the past, no sense of history, no sense of
as you put it, the Bible and religion and right
and wrong. They're just the playthings now of people who
(20:20):
manipulate their emotions. And look, I mean this is the
kind of society we're starting to see now. See. I
don't think there's one answer or one simple answer to
what's happening. I think that's why today's show has been
so good. Many of you are appointing different aspects. It's
a mix of several things, many things, and it's all
(20:43):
coming together. And I think, to be honest, the reason
why the Left is effective at propaganda is they give
very simplistic solutions to complex problems. Dave, I think you
hit the nail right on the head our children today
we are basically taught by two entities, the school system education,
(21:04):
which is completely corrupt and Marxist, and the media, which
is completely corrupt and Marxist. So there you go. Thank
you for that call, Dave, outstanding call Ken in New Hampshire.
Thanks for holding Ken and welcome.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Good morning, Jeff. You're finishing touch. As far as the
cultural issue, it definitely impacts this story. But let me
get back to because I'm a high school football official,
so listen. Idea of going back to LIBBA helmets is nuts.
You don't need to do that. They already have the
coverings on the helmets and that's probably going to be
mandatory at the high school level, and we have all
(21:43):
sorts of precautions at the college and pro level. Trying
to destroy football is anathema, and Lynn was absolutely right
to doing a terrific job of helping the kids.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Stay safe well, and Ken just to jump, you know,
reinforce her piggyback off of what you're saying. You know baseball,
you know baseball as well, but American football is a
great American institution, you know. I know they say baseball
is like, you know, motherhood and apple pie, but so
is football.

Night Live. This is a comedy show. How everything to
some people is a joke until it's not a joke.
(11:37):
And the lack of regard I don't know, for other
people's life, for other people's sensibilities, for other people's space
and privacy and autonomy. It was just the whole thing.
The lack of concern for fellow human beings, fellow employees,
(12:00):
and to me, this was what really stood out, the
sense of moral paralysis. Everybody knew he was crazy. Everybody
knew he was a ticking time bomb, that this guy
was trouble, there's no question, but nobody wanted to act.
(12:20):
Everybody was afraid to act. And I remember I kept
shaking my head like what is like, what does this
guy have to do before this guy gets fired? And
I'm sorry, I just go back to the image yesterday,
which is seared in my mind, and it's captured. I
think the national imagination, the national consciousness. You've got this savage,
(12:46):
this animal, this sicko walking out of his car double
parked with a freaking you know, I know it was
an M four rifle, but the thing looks almost like
like a machine gun. It looks like a cannon. And
he's just walking across the courtyard la la la la
(13:08):
la la, with his sunglasses and he's about to unleash
this massacre and nobody observes, nobody says anything, nobody cares,
nobody does anything, like, I don't is everybody's head in
(13:29):
a cell phone?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Are we just all hooked him looking at a cell phone? Like,
as one person texted me, Jeff, where was the situational awareness? Like,
I'm sorry, if I go down Boylston Street here in Boston,
you know, call me crazy, or I go to Boston
Common or take her bick. I walk around with an
M four rifle with a sunglasses, lad, and I'm about
(13:53):
to shoot up a place. La di da la di da?
Is everybody just gonna be all looking on my Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Launch sure, I'm free for lunch? Yeah sure, dinner?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
What do you want to have? Sushi? You want sushi,
Let's do sushi. I don't know this, I'm telling you.
The only thing that The only phrase that comes to
my mind is the lack of more. Like we've lost
our moorings, Like our moral bearings are social, moral, religious bearings.
(14:26):
It's just what should be so obviously wrong and should
be so obviously morally outrageous and used to be, you know,
open and shut, morally wrong, morally outrageous. Nobody does anything.
I'm sorry. It's like a moral spiritual malaise, and it's
(14:48):
like we're paralyzed. And now you're seeing the pictures are
coming out now the victims, not just a police officer,
but the actual victims. That poor woman that was killed
hiding behind the pillar. I've I mean, my god, my
heart breaks for her and her family. She didn't deserve that,
None of them deserve that. They just went to work.
That was their crime. They went to work and they
(15:12):
were planning to go home, and this animal killed them
over nothing, literally nothing. Jeff and Chelsea, thanks for holding
Jeff and welcome.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Jeff. No, no, yeah. As far as the situation's concerned,
I have a couple of takes on this situation because
I do security work for a living. Number one, as
far as firearms are concerned, I believe the government wants
to outlaw all firearms to all citizens except for approved individuals.
(15:47):
Number two. I believe down the line, with a couple
of attacks like this, the government will eliminate my job
as a security officer and make it a point to
have all security officers armed and federally trained, police academy trained,
and so forth. Number three, I believe the government will
(16:08):
eventually have a national police force because the bill will
come out that you cannot have amateurs do this. You
have to have the military and the police.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Jeff, can you do me a favor. I'm up against
a hardbreak. Please hang on. I think you're definitely onto something.
TIX one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. I want to read to you. Two texts,
and they're some of the two best texts I've ever
gotten in my entire career. I don't know what it
(16:41):
is about today's discussion, but it's absolutely been outstanding, really
outstanding from the entire audience. Texters, callers, you name it,
people who've emailed me. This is from six one seven, Jeff.
When my first daughter was three years old, was whining
and complaining that she wanted a toy. I finally gave
(17:06):
in and bought it for her. My mother, who was
a member of the Greatest Generation, said to me, quote,
I thought I spoiled you kids, and now the spoiled
are doing the spoiling. Looking back, Jeff, she was one
thousand percent correct. Interesting. Interesting, I never looked at it
(17:33):
that way. It's like almost like we've become overly spoiled
as a society, and that's why so many people feel,
you know, kids nowadays this. People feel entitled, People are narcissistic,
people are so self absorbed. People have no sense of
any kind of empathy or compassion for other people and
other human beings anyway. Just interesting, very interesting. Here's one
(17:57):
more seven eighty one. What you're describing is the lack
of morals, and this is a direct effect of the devil.
What's wrong is what's right is wrong, what's wrong is right,
what's up is down. There's no compassion for sadness or pain.
(18:21):
That is the effective evil on society. Some people ask God,
why did you abandon us? God replies, I never left you.
You left me. Dave in Vermont, Thanks for holding Dave,
(18:41):
and welcome Jeffrey bonjour. How are you, Dave? My friend,
my friend.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Hey, the way I see it, those of us who
have a little bit of age head of some education
of history. But the younger generation today have had no
education of history, and they it's been kind of hidden
from them. And what they're getting now we've become children
of the media. The media has taken the place of
(19:13):
the education system. And we've a been in that many
years ago, back in the late fifties, and we're beginning
to see the spillover of that now because these two
most effective things in the shaping of society has been
either an education system, the Bible or the media.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You know, Dave, that is an absolutely brilliant point. Brilliant,
absolutely brilliant, and I think you're right. It's cumulative. It
took time, it doesn't happen overnight, But you're right the
education system. Look how they're being indoctrinated, how their brains
are being marinated, how they're being brainwashed. And so many
(19:59):
of them now are chill of the media, social media
in particular, but children of the media, and they're at
the mercy of these people, and they have no sense
of the past, no sense of history, no sense of
as you put it, the Bible and religion and right
and wrong. They're just the playthings now of people who
(20:20):
manipulate their emotions. And look, I mean this is the
kind of society we're starting to see now. See. I
don't think there's one answer or one simple answer to
what's happening. I think that's why today's show has been
so good. Many of you are appointing different aspects. It's
a mix of several things, many things, and it's all
(20:43):
coming together. And I think, to be honest, the reason
why the Left is effective at propaganda is they give
very simplistic solutions to complex problems. Dave, I think you
hit the nail right on the head our children today
we are basically taught by two entities, the school system education,
(21:04):
which is completely corrupt and Marxist, and the media, which
is completely corrupt and Marxist. So there you go. Thank
you for that call, Dave, outstanding call Ken in New Hampshire.
Thanks for holding Ken and welcome.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Good morning, Jeff. You're finishing touch. As far as the
cultural issue, it definitely impacts this story. But let me
get back to because I'm a high school football official,
so listen. Idea of going back to LIBBA helmets is nuts.
You don't need to do that. They already have the
coverings on the helmets and that's probably going to be
mandatory at the high school level, and we have all
(21:43):
sorts of precautions at the college and pro level. Trying
to destroy football is anathema, and Lynn was absolutely right
to doing a terrific job of helping the kids.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Stay safe well, and Ken just to jump, you know,
reinforce her piggyback off of what you're saying. You know baseball,
you know baseball as well, but American football is a
great American institution, you know. I know they say baseball
is like, you know, motherhood and apple pie, but so
is football.
