Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, Sandy made an excellent point to me when
we were off air.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
There was a story that she read. She can't remember.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
It was like the Boston Globe or I don't know
USA Today or one of these. It was a liberal publication, okay,
a liberal publication. And the reason why it's important to
note that is generally liberals have been coddling snowflakes now
for you know, what is it, ten fifteen years there?
You know it's you know, it's the liberal movement that
(00:29):
has created all these snowflakes in school and now in
the workplace. Well even now they're starting to admit it's
gotten way, way too out of hand. Things have really
gotten out of hand. And so they told a story,
which by the way, is increasingly common, whereby a worker,
a woman, a female worker at a corporation or at
(00:52):
a business, was just told by your supervisor, gently, professionally, hey,
you made some spelling mistake. You know you can't you
can't send over with spelling mistakes. And she got the
little snowflake so brittle. She got so offended that she
started to cry. And then she called her mother and
(01:19):
was crying on the phone to her mother. How dare
the manager say that what I did had spelling mistakes
and it's not acceptable and that I have to fix
my mistakes before I send it over. And then the
mother I just a true story. The mother ended up
calling the manager and she was reaming him out, yelling
(01:40):
at him. How dare you talk to my Courtney like this?
Courtney is crying, Courtney's feelings are hurt. How dare you
talk to her like this? You don't have the right
to talk like this. I want to talk to your boss.
I want to talk to hr now. I want to
ask all of you if you made a mistake at
(02:01):
work and your supervisor said whatever, hey Bobby or hey Debbie,
no you can't it's full of spelling mistakes or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You can't do that. Can you just resend it?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Would you a start to cry? And by the way,
this is a thirty year old woman. We're talking about
thirty years old, okay, late twenties, early thirties. Would you
a cry and then be call your mother and cry
to her on the phone, and then have your mother
(02:37):
called the boss and say, don't you ever tell my
daughter or me or whatever you know that my son
or my daughter, Hey, you know Debbie Bobby, they never
make mistakes. Okay, can you just I'm just asking you
to imagine that that's what we're starting to create. Now,
(03:02):
that's not you know back in my day, Oh we
used to work, and you know this is.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Not some middle aged fogie.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Oh you know back when I work, Why, we really
worked unlike this generation. No, No, they're not functional. They
can't function in society. This is what the problem is
in the workplace. Owners are expressing it. Call you know,
employees are expressing it. Managers are expressing it. Supervisors are
(03:32):
expressing it. They're like, you don't understand. I can't have
employees bawling their eyes out when I just ask them
to do a major, you know, a minor change or
correct them on something, and so we don't make mistakes.
And then it becomes a full blown drama. And so
what happens is they end up firing these people after
(03:54):
a while. They're like, we just we can't assimilate them.
They can't work, they can't function. By they're gone. So
what I'm saying is long story short. You think by
coddling your child, you're helping your child. I'm telling you
you're crippling your child, ed in Stoneham. Thanks for holding
Ed and welcome.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Thank you, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
How are you today?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Ed?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Good? You saved a last call I think for the best.
Oh that's me.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, Well, I mean we still have another thirty five
minutes in the show, but that's okay, Ed.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
All right, Well, I've been on the phone for a
long time. But anyway, Hey, listen, I got a little
bit to say. I've been listening all morning to this
and I'm a first time call up.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Welcome Ed.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I'm retired. I did thirty six years in the police department,
my last twenty twenty five as a school resource officer.
I know a lot about youth. I've done a lot
of things with the youth, and today is just such
a different world. If we had, let's say, drunk driving
(05:09):
stuff for examples, we would school these kids. We would
take them and show them videos. We would show you know,
we would you mark crashes to get them to understand.
I don't think people listen to students anymore. They don't listen.
We would have them come into school if they did
something over the weekend, and we would sit with the
principal and sit with the assistant principal and go, hey,
(05:31):
look at we're trying to build character game. What are
you doing out on the weekend? Reckon at Chipoli? You know,
we don't do that anymore. It seems to be all gone.
The parents, like, I'm fortunate I have four kids, all older,
all grown up, all doing well, and just to see
(05:53):
the difference in how they react, Like if there's a
school shooting, we would have an assembly for these kids
and go, hey, look at this is these these are
this is what happens in a school shooting, if somebody
is hurt. This is what it looks like. We don't
do that anymore. We've lost that. Instead of having programs
like that, now we have programs with like and I
(06:16):
don't mean to be me, but we'll go they'll have
programs with it. Well, okay, we're going to teach you
how to be lgbt Q. Oh, we're going to teach
you how to DEEI is important. Where's the school teachers
today calling your station? Not one? Did I hear say
I'm a school teacher. I think the schools have to
be involved. They have to get back to building good
character for kids. As far as parents go, it's pretty simple.
(06:39):
They've changed. Quick example, I stopped the car one one night,
just before I retired, and it was a young kid
and he had a case of bear in the back seat.
So I try to do the right thing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh, Ed, we're up against it. Can you please hang on?
I want you to finish your story. Basically, he's saying,
we need teachers to be more involved, principles to be
more involved. Okay, let's go right back to Ed in Stoneham.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He is now a.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Retired police officer, many years of law enforcement experience. He
says the times have changed and frankly not for the
better on every level. And so he's describing about parenting
and how parenting has changed, and he wants to share
a story. So you pulled over, I guess a teenager
or a young man driving, and you noticed that there
(07:35):
was a case of beer in the backseat. Please Ed
pick up where you left off.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, you know, I try to do the right thing.
I want to explain to this young man about drunk driving,
about possession of alcohol, about how you're going to lose
your license. I have an alcohol and you're under twenty one.
I go through this whole thing with him. He's pretty appreciative,
which is great to see when that age as correctly.
(08:03):
So I take the case of bear, I bring it
down to my police station. I process it for property.
It's just going to sit there and be destroyed someday.
It's a case of bush bear. I don't know who
the hell drinks bush beer. But so so about a
half hour forty five minutes later, I get a call
come to the station. Somebody wants to talk to you.
(08:23):
I get there. There's a man out front. He says,
this guy wants to talk to you. I said, yeah.
He goes real attitude right from the beginning.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
This man.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
He says to me, hey, you pulled my kid over
tonight and I was like, well, I don't know who
your kid is. Like, yeah, you pulled my kid over tonight.
You took a case of beer out out of the
car and I was like, yes I did. He goes, well,
that's my beer and I want it. And I said, well,
you understand that your son can't have a case of
beer in the car your car, driving it around doesn't matter.
(08:53):
He can't have it. He can't be in possession of alcohol,
whether he's drinking it or not. He goes, look at
you are not going to drink that beer after the work.
And I was like, what, I go, you don't think
I have money to buy a case of beer. I go,
I don't drink beer that I that I took. It's
in property. So he goes, well, it's my case.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I want it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
So I said, okay. I went down. I brought the
case of beer up. I showed him that I had
a property tag on it. I ripped the property tag off.
I wrote out an evidence tag. I said, now you
go home and explain to your son why he just
got charged with possession of alcohol and he's going to
lose his license. You go explain it to him. And
now he's like, oh wait a second were a second?
(09:32):
I go, no, no, no, you wanted to come in here
and not be a parent. I tried to do the
right thing in school your son or your daughter, whatever
it may be at the time. You know, but that's
the parenting thing. Now they just there's nothing there, Like
he went the kid went home and said, oh I
got stopped. I had a case of beer. Maybe he
was being honest with his father and the father has
(09:53):
a nuddy.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Incredible is incredible, but that sorry, how did it end.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Please don't tell me the father took the case beer
home and you got to end up charging the sun.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
No. I just put it in for a hearing and
got rid of it when it got to the point
where I could get rid of it. But it's not.
That's not the point.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
No, no, no, I get it. No.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
The point is it's the father.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Going home and saying, what he took your beer? How
dare he like? That's what they're teaching their kids, right
to fight everything. It's a problem as far as Janine,
the pair of those I love her, but if you
think that you're going to see a parent go to
jail for any of this stuff, that's like watching felt
she go to jail. It's just not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So you think she's blustering a little bit, right.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, So what she should do maybe is is do
these programs they work. I know it sounds strange, but
if you get kids and they want to learn about
different things, like, hey show them if if if you
haven't a problem with overdoses, get something out there to
show these kids what it's like to go to somebody
who odeed. I mean, they have to the stimulus for
(11:01):
them they need it, they need to see it. They're
seeing top the stuff on their phone. Now, you can't
stop cell phones when we try to do it at
the school once the parents, ninety two percent voted no,
you're not stopping my kids from taking a cell phone
to school. I needed to sports, I needed if he's sick,
and I needed if the if there's a school shooting.
I want to be able to reach my son or daughter.
(11:23):
I mean, the cell phone thing, that's a done deal.
Remember the days of putting a computer in your in
your house and your parents said, it stays in the
living room. Nobody gets to have one in the bedroom,
nobody gets to be on it alone. And then we
gave them a little computer to walk around in life
with that they can get worse things that they ever
could have gotten their living room. I mean, it's just crazy. Now,
(11:44):
it's just to the point.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
No, it's you know, it's gotten to the point now
where really, how do I it's we've we've lost complete
control over our children. And to me, look, to me,
that story is an incredible story. Instead of saying, hey, son,
what the hell were you doing with a case of
beer in the back of the car, you know, you're underage, dude,
(12:10):
you know, and you know you should thank the police
officer because you could have lost your license. No, he
shows up and says, give me the beer. I'm telling
you in a nutshell, this is exactly what's wrong. This
is why police officers are saying no thanks, but no thanks.
I'm ready to retire. And while you have teachers and
others saying this is what we deal with every day.
(12:34):
Your kid is transgressing and I'm the problem. Ed. Great job,
great call, don't be a stranger. Call again, Kim in Brighton.
Thanks for holding Kim, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Good morning, Jeff. Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
My pleasure, Kim.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I believe that everything that's currently going on is absolutely
intentional or in steep decline. We've been promoting this ghetto
culture for decades, and I think the government programs that
are around are causing the problem. We have two tiers
of society, some people worrying about whether they put their
(13:13):
recycling bins out early and they're going to get a violation,
and another group who destroys a chipaltle or something else
and their zero consequences. And I believe that welfare totally
created this and I have to be kind of cold
with the accounting aspect, but you're basically paying women who
(13:36):
are not married and can't support children to have more
money by having more kids. And that's the truth. So
we are in a serious spot here. But I believe
it's intentional and it's supposed to happen. I've referenced El
Salvador before, the former murder capital of the world that's
(13:57):
now become one of the safest countries, and for whatever reason,
that was slated for reconstruction and progression, and we are
slated for deconstruction, and it seems pretty obvious. So I
think it's hard to say what to do. But if
you have a welfare system that pays women to have
(14:19):
more kids, that's totally wrong. And as for what's going
on in this kind of destruction, something needs to happen drastically.
I don't think an after school program is going to help.
There has to be some kind of really strong presence.
These kids don't have any fathers, something that has to
make them scared. The l sall the door prisons, they're
(14:41):
not pleasant at all. They have to work very hard,
and as a society we've just basically given up and
I think until people decide to change, nothing will change.
How is it that we don't have any choice over
this kind of violence? What happens? It makes people fearful,
they don't want to go out, and maybe that's the
go and let the criminals take over, because the Democrats
(15:02):
think the criminals are the good guys and they don't
think it's a problem. And yet we have no say
over say, like bike lanes, and they destroy blocks of
streets and put businesses out of business by taking away
all the parking. And somehow we don't have a say
over that, and we don't have a say over what's
happening with our society and decline. We have to do something.
(15:24):
And I hate to be part of a talk radio
where we keep talking and not doing. But that's what
that's what I think the problem is. And we celebrate
the ghetto culture, in my opinion, are the least the
resident dementia. Joe look at his son, they were like
ghetto people.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh, Kim, you're you're click I mean honestly, you're you're
you're clicking on all cylinders. And look, it's politics is
always downstream from culture. You capture the culture, you capture
the politics, and that's what you're nailing it. That's the problem.
You break up the family, you promote this ghetto culture
(16:06):
you you have, you know, you show disrespect for the law,
disrespect for authority, disrespect for God, let's be honest, disrespect
for faith in the church, family, the basic institutions of society.
This is what you end up creating. And these are
monsters and that's that's the problem. Now that we face
(16:29):
what we saw at Chipotle, and that's just a microcosm
of a much bigger problem. We're a bunch of uncivilized savages,
that's what it is. And the question is are we
going to defend civilization? Are civilized people citizens of this
great country, law binding taxpayers. Are we going to say no,
(16:50):
you are not going to allow savages to roam wild
and murder and plunder and threaten and terrorize. Or are
we just going to let them have their way and
take over the streets. And you're right, the Democrats want
us afraid and cowering. They want us to be afraid
to stay indoors because they've now become pro criminal and
(17:14):
we have to say no, these are our streets. There
are sidewalks, there are restaurants, there are establishments, there are businesses.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
We have the right to go there.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Six one, seven two, six x sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, very quickly, because I want to
go back to the phone lines. This is from seven
to eight to one. Please, you got to listen to
this because this is a very very important text. It
is from a former law enforcement official. Jeff, I can
(17:47):
tell you that there does exist a subculture of criminal behavior.
Your audience probably can't imagine a mother of a convicted
criminal bringing illegal drugs in her bra during a visit
to her son in prison. Jeff, the crime statistics are
(18:13):
always pointing toward the truth, but criminologists and sociologists always
explain it away, pointing to lack of economic opportunity, poor
quality housing, etc.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, that might have been true, say in the past,
like the nineteen seventies, but not anymore. From President Clinton
on with the midnight basketball programs in the nineteen nineties
to the free phones and other goodies. Under Obama, we
the federal taxpayers have funded brand new parks, playgrounds, gorgeous
(18:51):
new housing developments, bus rides to and from school, before
school and after school care snap cards, EBT cards, free
tuition and scholarships, on and on. The benefits are there,
but still the criminal street code way of life persists.
(19:14):
So what is the common denominator? No father figures in
the home and horrible parenting by the mom. This is
a national plague and it is definitely going to be
one of the most violent summers we've ever had. Because
the left has the liberals as judges, district attorneys and mayors,
(19:38):
they won't punish the criminals because they feel it's racist.
Bingo nailed it, absolutely nailed it. Brian in Witmen, thanks
for holding Brian.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And welcome.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Okay, So I have I have two points. One is
socialism and Trujo law is diametric opposed democracy. You can't
do it. Only way that communism works isn't a vacuum
because human beings can't be in a vacuum, can't live
in a vacuum. But someone once asked me, you know why,
(20:19):
give me an example recently, so I said, Venezuela. But
before Chevestakhova it was a powerhouse in economics. When Chivestakova
five to ten years later, it was poverty stricken. Okay,
Communism and Tcheuia law causes their freedom and more poverty.
(20:42):
But on the children's side of it, okay, trophies for breathing.
Was that happened twenty years ago when my son was
in school. Okay, they were giving away trophies, and then
they started giving way trophies for breathing. Right, And so
my son comes running into the room and this is
what he says to me, Dad, Dad, I said, what what?
(21:03):
It's not fair? Okay, he thought it was going to
caddle him. I said, listen, you've ruined a life lesson.
Life is not fair. Okay, you're ahead of your friends
and your schoolmates.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
And the flight was fair.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Keep a spots which smell like bubble gum, but they don't. Okay.
Then I got the Dad, I will that I know
that your children have given you.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
No Brian, Look, you're right, and what you're seeing now
is really sixty years of great society, liberalism, of socialism,
and this is now what it's done. It has wrecked families,
it has wrecked neighborhoods. It has led to a crime epidemic, anarchy, chaos,
(21:50):
and now we're reaping the whirlwind. I think now there's
no question and we have to now ask ourselves do
we want to continue down this disasteris path or do
we want to change? And I believe it's time for
a change. Brian, thank you so much for that call.
All right, Norman in Pennsylvania. Norman, I've only got one
(22:13):
minute left until the show ends.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
The floor is yours, go.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
I just want to call up from Janine and what
I've been sending to Trump, and I really advocate the
use of universal draft for everybody, men and women. They
should be required to put in so much time in
(22:40):
community service. Military service is voluntary, and with that, there's
all kinds of programs that was brought up in the
your your audience brought up a number of things that
can be applied to this, and I really think that
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, Norman, look, I think there's no question that if
we were drafting children maybe not sorry, teenagers, not into
the military per se, but to do community service
