The death penalty and current news

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was just reading over Dollywood. Dollywood closed a couple
of theme parks, Dolly Parton herself canceling some concerts due
to what she called some health issues. That this kind
of worries me because Dolly Partner is one of those
people that everything just seems to go right for and
she's always doing good things, and she's known for her
good works and her you know, her children's reading program

(00:23):
and just basically everybody thinking she's a sweetheart, and and
you know, she seems to have a very favorable personality,
and you're used to seeing good stuff about Dolly Parton
all the time, and in the last couple of days
it's been you know, illness concerns and canceling concerts and
now to Dollywood locations closing. I hope all is well.

(00:50):
That out there in Iowa, and that's superintendent the Iowa
believe this happened in Iowa. The superintendent of schools in
uh In, Iowa, that was Ice. Ice came and got him.
He was here illegally. You see how he became superintendent

(01:13):
is beyond me. And now the story today says the
universities deny credentials listed on Ian Roberts official biography. So
not only not only was he here illegally and hired
for a job as superintendent of the des Moines Public Schools,
and the Board of Education said, of course we vet him.

(01:33):
We did, we researched him before we hired. I don't
think you did. I don't think you did. Otherwise you
would have known that the guy was here illegally and
uh and and that the stuff that he put on
his uh, his biography, his his educational credentials. No, no
universities are now saying that many of the things he

(01:55):
listed there is his his educational qualifications are not true,
not real. We've got access to everything, I mean, for
two dollars and ninety nine cents, you can get a
one week trial to search out everything there is to
know about everybody everywhere. And seriously, they couldn't do any
better than that. That's just sad. I mean, it's not

(02:18):
like this guy was working some inconsequential job behind the scene.
He was the superintendent of the des Moines City Schools.
You would think they might have paid a little more attention.
School Board minutes from Robert's previous position at Mill Creek
Township in Pennsylvania show officials questioned his credentials during the

(02:39):
twenty twenty hiring process, noting that he lacked the educational
certificate from his educational facilities that he obtained his doctorate.
The resignation comes as Justice Department Civil Rights Division investigates
alleged race based discrimination in hiring practices at Des Moines
Public schools, which federal officials say violates federal law. So

(03:01):
this guy, this guy, by the way, he had dark
brown skinny was from? Where was it? Ghana? God? Guyana?
I think it was Ghana, you remember. I'm sorry, were
you sleeping? I didn't mean to interrupt your.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Name about the Iowa guy? What are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I just where he was from? Guina? Gina, Ghana? Diana? Good, good, good,
good Guyhanna he was from? He was from Guhannas where
he's from?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I do like how was like? I don't know what
was on his resume, how he got hired.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It shouldn't have had.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
It makes me just want to apply for any job
and expect to get.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
It and just lie through your behind about your qualifications
because apparently nobody checks anything.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I'm gonna apply for the president of Fidelity Bank or
something next, like it does like a million dollar job.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
You should and you'll get it. Go in there wearing
a hoodie and shorts. Just tell him you graduated from
the Fetterman School of Business and and see if if
they'll give you a shot. I remember as a young man,
I used to say, you know, I don't don't look
for what's on my, uh my resume, don't look for

(04:04):
what degrees I have. I can do the job. Let
me do the job. If I suck at it, fire me.
If I don't, then I will benefit your company. That
was how I was, and I didn't have any problem
telling you know people that it interviews.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I used to hire people at the at the airport
when I worked for United as part of picking out people,
so like we'd get a bunch of applications, I'd immediately
get rid of half of them because I didn't want
unlucky people working for me.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
And then we'd go from there.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Unlucky people, Yeah, how did you judge their luck versus their.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's randomly got rid of them.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
So if you threw away their application, they were the unlucky.
Government has shut down dated you know that.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I did know that.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Has it affected you in it? Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
My it's completely turned my life upside down.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, I too him. I'm suffering. I'm not sure how, but.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't know how I made it end today.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
If there's somehow that I can become part of a
class action suit and get paid, I'm suffering. Just I
think you should know that Mayor Andrew Ginther here in
the city of Columbus, the capital of the Ohio state,
or the state of Ohio, or the Buckeye whatever, Andy Ginther.
Andy Gentther has been named one of the Governing Magazines
Public Officials of the Year A moment of Silence for

(05:22):
common Sense.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
From the Ginther Printing Press Organization.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's an honor recognizing state and local leaders who quote
to bring meaningful change to their communities. Okay, now it
doesn't say positive change, it doesn't say good change. It
just says meaningful. So maybe I'm off track on this.
Maybe he actually does deserve this way. The annual designation
celebrates officials, regardless of political party, who implement programs and

(05:50):
policies that make a tangible difference at home and provide
lessons for leaders nationwide.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
So to reinforce everything, it doesn't have to be good change.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's what I'm saying nothing. Nothing in that sentence dictates
that it has to be about positive things. Let me
read this sentence to you again. The annual designation celebrates officials,
regardless of political party, who implement programs and policies that
make a tangible difference at home and provide lessons for

(06:27):
leaders nationwide.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I mean those lessons could be bad lessons don't do this.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Tangible does not mean good. It just means something that
you can look at and see the results. So that
that sentence, while it sounds favorable, really is not favorable,
takes no position at all, end up, and is completely accurate.
It is completely accurate. I've got to say that the

(06:57):
publication said Mayor Ginther's commitment to inclusive growth and regional
collaboration demonstrates the impact of dedicated city leadership. Again again,
that is a completely accurate sentence because it doesn't say positive,
it doesn't say wanted. It just says Mayor Ginther's commitment

(07:20):
to inclusive growth. Yes, he has that commitment meaning bring
in everybody, we don't care who they are, where they're from,
and what their intentions are. And regional collaboration meaning he
wants to get all the other mayors around him on
board demonstrates the impact of dedicated city leadership, meaning he
wants to be re elected in twenty seven. That is
a completely accurate sentence.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I mean impactful is a great word too, because I
mean you could be like Mussolini and be like I
was very impactful. Yes, yes, I'm not comparing the two
just in wait, but I'm not comparing the two the
way they govern.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
The publication highlight of aar Gentther's efforts in supporting Columbus
regional growth, saying he's emphasizing initiatives designed to ensure no
resident is left behind as the city expands. Again, very generic.
Define for me what is meant by left behind? It's

(08:16):
not just the difference between you know you're right behind,
what is you can't. It's a subjective phrase. It could
mean anything, interpreted any way by anyone at any time,
for any reason. That is a completely accurate sentence. They

(08:37):
all sound so positive, and yet they're saying pretty much nothing.
I man, I love the English language, especially. You can
make somebody think you said something you didn't say simply
by saying something else the way that the way that

(08:57):
you need to say it in order for them to
hear what you think they want to hear. It's that's
that's manipulation, right there. A two nine at eight six

Retirement Group dot com phone lines.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Hi, Yes, sir, I got a good idea for you
from doing out a resume. If you just use initials,
you sound really fantastic. For instance, I have a PhD,
which stands for posthold digger. I used to be a CPA,

(09:31):
which is a car parking attendant.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Okay, what do you think I think? I think you
may be onto something, Jerry. In fact, you need to
apply for some big corporate job that pays you not
to work because you're you got those. That is brilliant,
my friend. Thank you for that. I I never thought
of that, but he's right. I have a PhD too.
In fact, I think I have two PhDs. If I'm

(09:57):
not mistaken, I do. I'm asking what huh?

Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm afraid to ask.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
No, My PhDs are like Jerry's post hole diggers. I
got two of them in the garage. I have two PhDs.
I like his thinking, just saying I'm still I'm still
looking at this stuff. I cannot stop reading because I
get little pop ups while I'm on the air, and

(10:24):
of course the government shut down, I can't get away
from it. Every time I look at the screen, there's
more stuff popping up. I do not think this is
going to last more than a couple of days, honestly,
and I think it's, you know, much ado about nothing
as they usually are. As I was saying earlier with Blazer,
I'm tired of I'm tired of the over and overness

(10:47):
of the continuing resolutions. We need to get a balanced budget.
Was it done? Might have been done that brought it,
Maybe it was Scott. But what I'm said, you know,
until we have a balanced budget, Congress doesn't get paid.
I think that's a brilliant idea. I mean that essentially,
that's your job. That is your job to account for
and distribute the funds and the powers of the United

(11:11):
States government. So I would be in favor of that
a law, a resolute whatever it takes, that Congress doesn't
get paid until they have agreed upon a balanced budget.
I am infuriated that they're getting paid right now. Quite frankly,
I'm not saying, oh no, that means she wants the

(11:32):
government not to shut down. No, that's not what I'm
saying at all. What I'm saying is they are just
like yesterday. Remember I was talking about this state bill
that would allow state elected officials to carry guns, but
not you and me. I've got a problem with that.
I have a problem with the Congress that is saying, Hey,
TSA people, you're not getting paid. Hey, flight or pat

(11:53):
CO people, are they still around the air traffic controlers?
You're not getting paid. All these people are not getting paid.
Military guys, you're not getting paid. Now you're still going
to work, but you're not getting paid, but we are
getting paid. That's wrong, that is wrong. Let us all
suffer together. You are our representatives, therefore you should you

(12:16):
should have to live by the same rules we did.
But again national health care. Remember they wanted to push
the ACA on us, the Obamacare on us. They wanted
to have us have nationalized health care. But Congress was
not going to have that same. They were going to
keep their their private retirement fund that is funded with
money that we give them. We pay for them to

(12:40):
have a better retirement system. We pay for them to
have a better health care system than we have. Ourselves,
and to extend their health care to all of the
American people, to extend their pension fund to all of
the American people. That is out of the question. And
a government shut down and all these various government essential

(13:02):
workers will be told you're still coming to work, you
still have a job to do, but you won't get
paid until we get this resolved. But we're going to
keep getting paid. That's offensive and non American as far
as I'm concerned.
