Speaker 1 (00:00):
The inmates that had escaped from that New Orleans prison.
We made a friendly wager, Matt case and I about
how many people would be collected, And here we are
a week later, Matt, guess how many people are collected
of the ten that escaped.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I want to say, I saw an update on this
a couple days ago that there was like four left
of the inmates. Yeah, but now there are people that
are being arrested on top of this, and I believe
you're correct, there's still four, still four out there, but
they have arrested now five civilians who were arrested for
allegedly helping some of these people.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I know they had that was it the maintenance worker
that turned the.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Water off for them, because where they were escaping, where
they pulled the toilet off, that should have been just
firing water everywhere. Right, So yeah, gotta be honest. The fugues,
it's actually five that are still at large, so well
half of them are still a week later. What are
the odds that they're going to.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Find these guys? What are the odds?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean pretty high? How often do people get away
scott free? You know, does that really happen? At least
not in my lifetime, I've ever heard of that happening
unless I'm missing something.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Maybe not on a jail break, but I mean, it's
been such an amount of time, Like, you know, how
far away could they be at this point, especially if
there are people willingly aiding them. They're finding information about
the people that are helping, but they're not finding information
about the five guys that are still out and about
and who knows what the heck's gonna happen. But that
is a wild, wild scenario. It's crazy story in that
(01:29):
it is happening in our country. Can you imagine that? Now? Again,
this is something worth talking about, is what the people
at Harvard and what is going on there with all
of the issues that they have kind of perpetuated themselves.
Because we're talking not just about this as a college
(01:51):
of you know, higher learning, institution of higher learning in
this country. We're talking about Harvard as a kind of
a what do I say, a festering pot of I
don't know, radical ideas? Am I off base by saying that? Now,
this is something that Donald Trump has been saying since
he got inaugurated, that these colleges around the country, especially
(02:15):
these ones that have these high falutint big time brainiacs
who have this respect as these Ivy League schools. Well,
so much liberalism and radical liberalism at that have been
reported over the last year plus of these groups of
people who are coming in, they're protesting, they're camping out
on school grounds, and the colleges have just had no
(02:36):
backbone to tell them that they can't do that and
settle down some of the rhetoric around the anti Israel protesting.
All of that being said, Donald Trump says Harvard hasn't
done nearly enough to try to curb some of this stuff.
And this is of course on the heels and we'll
learn a little bit more about this in a bit.
Of the people that were killed in Washington, c we
(02:57):
talked about yesterday, that couple that was killed that staffers
at the Israeli embassy. This is the kind of thing
that if you allow to continue to fester, it becomes
dangerous for the people of this country. And Donald Trump says, Harvard,
I've had enough, and he says that we are. We're
canceling the student visa program and anybody who's an international
student will no longer be allowed to be at Harvard Now.
(03:19):
According to Harvard. They say the policy is going to
affect over seven thousand visa holders, which is almost twenty
five percent of the student body itself. They filed to
court ruling and said this is a blatant violation of
the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative
Procedure Act, and a court apparently has jumped in. Alison Burrows,
(03:40):
who was an Obama era appointee, has set a hearing
for next week in Boston Federal Court, where Harvard, of
course is located in the Boston area, and gonna at
least have a hearing on this as to whether or
not this is something that legally the President of the
United States can do. Now, the Department of Homeland Security
has moved to terminate the visa program because their reasoning
(04:02):
was that Harvard failed to provide with extensive behavioral records
of the student visa holders that was requested by the
Department of Homeland Security to begin with. The AHS told
Harvard they had seventy two hours Thursday to come into
compliance with the request and reinto the visa program, and
if this holds, Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students
for next school year and any foreign students that are
(04:24):
currently there have to transfer or lose their legal status
to reside in the United States before next year. So
where am I at on this is I'm going to
tell you where I'm at, and then you can tell
me where you're at. I think this may be a
bit extreme, and I'll tell you why again. I think
that we've gotten a lot of people. I don't think
it's all necessarily foreign people. We have definitely documented some
(04:47):
people that are American citizens, if born and raised in
the United States, speak perfect English, and they are people
that just want to have something to fight for and
something to fight against.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
And this is the movement.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
This is what they the Hippies had when they were
protesting the Vietnam War in the sixties. Well for twenty
two year olds on these high fuluton college campuses. Now,
this is how you make it seem like you are
some sort of intellectual genius and you are going out
of your way to actively protest against Israel. They want schools,
they want the government, they want this country to divest
(05:20):
from Israel as a country in Israeli companies, and they
just have no problem with it seemingly being threatening language
toward Jewish people of all kinds, which of course has
led to violence against Jewish people, not just in the
Middle East where the actual fighting is occurring, but right
here in the United States of America. So I understand
(05:41):
wanting to try to get to the crux of how
we can resolve this issue.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You can blame the schools too.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You can blame Harvard, you can blame Columbia, you can
blame any of these colleges that have gone out of their.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Way to stay out of the way, if you will.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
They've gone out of their way to be so invisible
that they just want They say, it's First Amendment right.
You have a First Amendment right to protests, to protest peacefully.
But there are students on these campuses, based on the
protesting that is going on, that no longer feel safe
on these campuses. They can't get an education and feel
good about it. There are other students that have been
caught in the crossfire politically, if you will, and had
(06:15):
their schooling interrupted. Classes have been canceled because of the disruption.
They've paid tens of thousands of dollars a year to
be a part of these institutions to legitimately get good education.
Not all of them are like this, and yet they
couldn't even graduate and have a ceremony at some of
these colleges because of the unrest. We're going to act
like that it's okay. It's not okay. At the same time,
(06:36):
I do feel for a lot of these international students
who might not be willingly participating anything. Overall, this is
a relatively small number of the people on the college
campuses that are taking part in these hateful protests that
have absolutely nothing to do with learning or getting degrees
or trying to get certifications or trying to be better
for their communities when they graduate if they're trying to
(06:59):
get and of course we know that there are large
chunks of the people who are the bad actors who
aren't even at these schools. They're not even students at
the schools. They just have access to people within the
school and they help organize all of the activities, if
you will. So, yeah, are all seven thousand of the
international students at Harvard to blame for the rhetoric? Absolutely not.
(07:22):
There are not even seven thousand people at Harvard taking
part in what's going on there. But you're trying to
send a message to these institutions that if you're not
going to take control the American government is going to
This is beyond First Amendment rights. This is rhetoric that
is leading to violence in this country. And you know what,
you're not going to be able to do without seven
plus thousand dollars of international tuition money coming in. You know,
(07:44):
you talk about an endowment in enrollment and how important
that is to schools like Harvard to be able to
pay their faculty, to be able to pay the bills
at all. It's not something that's super easy to do.
So I'll be interested to see what the judge rules
and the hearings schedule for next year. I'll be interested
to see if there's any give on the Trump administration
side of this. If Harvard says, okay, well will get
(08:06):
into a certain level of compliance here. But as hardheaded
as both sides seem to be on an issue like this,
I don't know if we're going to see anything other
than the judge rule that this is or isn't a
legal thing that the United States government can actually do,
and if it is an infringement on First Amendment rights
or the right to do process for over seven thousand
people who are trying to go to school. Certainly not
(08:26):
all of them are in support of what's going on
at this institution, but they're all kind of getting caught
in the political cross fire, as I mentioned, because the
American government sees this problem is getting out of control
and the institution itself is doing nothing to stop it.
Time's going to tell on whether or not this actually
is going to stick, but it is something that if
this works for Harvard and in Harvard's backs down and
(08:49):
they start to Okay, we need to police this better.
Or if Donald Trump is able to make this happen,
and you know what, you're not going to have international
students on your campus.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I suppose, well, it's just going to open.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
The floodgates for other institutions to have to follow suit,
or Donald Trump and his administration are going to be
going after him.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It is two eighteen.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
If you've got thoughts on this or anything else, you
can be a part of the show. Call us four
oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two
five five eight eleven ten. You can email Emory at
kfab dot com. You're listening to news radio eleven ten
KFAB and raise Longer four oh two five five, eight
eleven ten, and we would love for you to call
in with your thoughts on anything that's going on in
the news today. Did want to remind you I have
(09:30):
an interview I'm going to play in about fifteen minutes
that is relating to the shooting the Israeli couple that
was working at the embassy in DC that was shot
in Colblow. We mentioned the story yesterday, but some questions
about how this could be politically motivated, as you know,
kind of like weaponizing this tragedy is something on either
(09:51):
side of the aisle on how that could affect how
people are talking about the relations with Israel and of
the war in Gaza itself coming up in about fifteen
minutes or so. Now, I wanted to, you know, keep
this fun and lieharder. I don't want to, you know,
be bogged down with heavy stuff all day. So I
found what today is, Matt. Can you guess what today is?
(10:13):
The holiday? If you will, I don't know if holiday
is the right word, the day of observer of observance.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Okay, well these are always so random, so I'll just
make a random.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I guess I will confirm this is incredibly random.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Are we talking national international.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
What do we talk This is world something worldwide.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, it's May third, Worldwide Clean your grill Day.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's important. It's an important thing to do. I'm not
always great at cleaning the grill. Sometimes I forget about
how grimy it can get if you don't give it
a good wash at the beginning of every season.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
But I'm usually pretty good about it.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That is not what it is, however, it is International
Synthesizer Day. Okay, you got a synthesizer shout out that
you'd like to make.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A synthesizer shout out. I don't own any currently.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I used to. Well, I got a couple. I'll let you.
I'll let you get the phone.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I think so iconic synthesizer stuff was really in the
nineteen seventies. It sounds just super duper creepy. As you know,
some of these, you know, like instrumental and experimental musicians
had some ideas of things that were happening in the
music scene, and they, I mean some of that stuff,
(11:27):
like it sounds like robots making music in the seventies.
We really refined it though in the nineteen eighties, and
I think it's as crazy as it sounds. I would
say the most iconic synthesizer part in popular music I
think maybe ever and correct me if this is hyperbole
is van Halen Jump, which is weird to say because
Eddie van Halen is one of the great guitar players
(11:48):
who ever lived, and we're talking about a synthesizer part
is like one of the most signature sounds that the
band ever produced. So do you do you have a
synthesizer like a favorite synthesizer heart or somebody who whenever
they were playing it. I mean, I suppose like Dennis
DeYoung from Styx from the seventies into the eighties. I
mean there's some sick synthesizer parts and stick songs, you know,
(12:09):
like from Blue Collar Man or Sweet Madam Blue, all
sorts of you know, synthesizer sound stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, I definitely revolutionized music, and it's been cool how
it's been used over the years. I would say, I
don't know. I mean, there's so many that come to mind,
there's almost too many. It's say, my favorite artist that
uses a lot of synthesizers would be aphex Twin Ah
of course. Yeah, A lot of people think of him
as kind of like the founding father of electronica music. Yeah, yeah,
(12:38):
but yeah, I think it's really cool what you can
do with them.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
A lot of people who maybe aren't as familiar with
them might think you're just doing something on a computer.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
There is absolutely musicality to it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's just cool the advancements and technology what you can
do with music now.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, And that's one thing that they have done is
if you listen to anybody talk who's really good with synthesizers.
All the different synthesizers have their own various sounds, and
it only makes you look at it a bit differently.
All Right, the phone lines are open four, two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten,
and you can talk about whatever's on your mind today.
Let's start with Heyzus, Hey zus, welcome to the show.
(13:13):
What are you thinking about?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
How is it going? Well, let's see if I can
remember I was a child in the seventies. But there's
Alan Parson van Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, Alan Parson's project. That's some good stuff out there.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yeah, and then our city is really good right now
with the synthesizers. Sure and everything. But that was I
was going to I want to also comment about your
about the president and the executive order and there's a
lot of radical people out there and that create a
lot of issues.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
And the one thing I wanted to talk about too,
and it's happening. It's happening all over Europe and it's
and we're starting to see pockets of it happening throughout
the country is people wanting Middle Easting people that want
to have Sharira law in place wherever go. And that
completely is against our constitution and I believe, and we
(14:06):
don't talk about it enough and it's basically part of
the invasion. When I was in Europe, in Paris and
in London, you just I mean, this was like almost
ten years ago, but it's even worse now, and it's
it's over here. I mean, they're talking about building cities
and having that completely in place in our in the country.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, well, Hazeus, I think that's one thing that we
definitely need to really get to the nuts. And Boltzer,
do you really care about the people of Palestine? Are
you trying to kind of institute an entirely different culture
and system of government in this country which is never
going to happen. We have to kind of figure out
where those hair split and then attack the one that
actually makes sense for us to say, this will never happen,
and you need to get this out of your brain.
(14:46):
If you're living in the United States, you bet it.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
And one and one other thing is that because we
our constitution has a lot of basis of Judeo Christian right,
you know, and when the count what's happening now is
because we have a constitution that is a that has
a lot of in place because of Judeo Christian laws
and influence, we have a country now that is turning
(15:12):
away from that and is becoming more atheistic now and.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Then it's noticeable for sure, hazeus. I want to try
to sneak a couple of other calls, can I real quick?
But I really appreciate the call today. Thanks so much
for your fears.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
A couple of synthesizer calls here, Brian on the phone
line four two five five eight, Happy world, synthesizer day there, Brian,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Oh? Hey, thank you. You know, so, there was a
big transition in synthesize sounds. So at first they would
like they would record a saxophone playing and then they'd
be like, oh, that makes a sound wave that looks
like this. So then so then the synthesizer would be like,
(15:54):
we're going to make this sound wave and it's going
to sound like a saxophone. And then so that was
that was these kinds of synthesizers, and then the digital
age came around, and now.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
You play a synthesizer and you and use say saxophone,
it is a saxophone and it's being like reproduced perfectly.
So that that was yeah, so like yeah, so it's
kind of interesting how how technology changed the whole synthesizer
thing and super cool.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, yeah, and you can you can just hear like
the production value of these synths now because we have
so much you know, different sounds out of our fingertips
with each of these instruments, you can really get exactly
what you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
It's good, it's good stuff. Ryan. I appreciate the call today,
Thanks for listening to our show.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Oh you bet, you bet.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
I like the show.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
To thank you. Let's go to Aaron real quick before
we hit the bottom of Aaron. You got a synthesizer
song that's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, I was, I think I was about ninety five
percent offended that the first words weren't the final countdown. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Now see now that you say that, I you know,
like and I have that as a as a bumper.
I play that, you know when we come back from
break that. I mean it is like you want to
talk about just anybody who hears that, like hair should
go up on the back of your neck of how
just like powerful and how how good that is. It's
(17:14):
an excellent, excellent example of great synthesizer work. Thereby the
guys in Europe. Good call there, Aaron, Thanks for correcting us.
Appreciate it all right, that's one of the synthesizer's. Fred's
on the phone line four oh two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What do you got for me?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Fred?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
As your winner, Frankenstein, come on, of course, I mean,
like I'm we need to get that back in the
rotation before we get in the spooky season. I mean
like that entire song is a great use of that
creepy seventies sounding synthesizer sound that you know again, we'll
just kind of make the hair stand up on the
back of your neck as you're listening to it.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Good call Fred, you can't leave out ELP.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, no, I appreciate appreciate the note there, buddy, Thanks
for so much for taking part. We'll probably bring up
the synthesizers a little bit later on too, because it's
just fun to talk about. When we come back, though,
I'm going to play an interview that I had with
someone about the implications politically of the shooting in Washington,
d C. That's coming up here on news radio eleven
ten kfab and raised songer
The inmates that had escaped from that New Orleans prison.
We made a friendly wager, Matt case and I about
how many people would be collected, And here we are

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I know they had that was it the maintenance worker
that turned the.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Water off for them, because where they were escaping, where
they pulled the toilet off, that should have been just
firing water everywhere. Right, So yeah, gotta be honest. The fugues,
it's actually five that are still at large, so well
half of them are still a week later. What are
the odds that they're going to.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Find these guys? What are the odds?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean pretty high? How often do people get away
scott free? You know, does that really happen? At least
not in my lifetime, I've ever heard of that happening
unless I'm missing something.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Maybe not on a jail break, but I mean, it's

campuses that are taking part in these hateful protests that
have absolutely nothing to do with learning or getting degrees
or trying to get certifications or trying to be better
for their communities when they graduate if they're trying to
(06:59):
get and of course we know that there are large
chunks of the people who are the bad actors who
aren't even at these schools. They're not even students at
the schools. They just have access to people within the
school and they help organize all of the activities, if
you will. So, yeah, are all seven thousand of the
international students at Harvard to blame for the rhetoric? Absolutely not.
(07:22):
There are not even seven thousand people at Harvard taking
part in what's going on there. But you're trying to
send a message to these institutions that if you're not
going to take control the American government is going to
This is beyond First Amendment rights. This is rhetoric that
is leading to violence in this country. And you know what,
you're not going to be able to do without seven
plus thousand dollars of international tuition money coming in. You know,
(07:44):
you talk about an endowment in enrollment and how important
that is to schools like Harvard to be able to
pay their faculty, to be able to pay the bills
at all. It's not something that's super easy to do.
So I'll be interested to see what the judge rules
and the hearings schedule for next year. I'll be interested
to see if there's any give on the Trump administration
side of this. If Harvard says, okay, well will get
(08:06):
into a certain level of compliance here. But as hardheaded
as both sides seem to be on an issue like this,
I don't know if we're going to see anything other
than the judge rule that this is or isn't a
legal thing that the United States government can actually do,
and if it is an infringement on First Amendment rights
or the right to do process for over seven thousand
people who are trying to go to school. Certainly not
(08:26):
all of them are in support of what's going on
at this institution, but they're all kind of getting caught
in the political cross fire, as I mentioned, because the
American government sees this problem is getting out of control
and the institution itself is doing nothing to stop it.
Time's going to tell on whether or not this actually
is going to stick, but it is something that if
this works for Harvard and in Harvard's backs down and
(08:49):
they start to Okay, we need to police this better.
Or if Donald Trump is able to make this happen,
and you know what, you're not going to have international
students on your campus.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I suppose, well, it's just going to open.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
The floodgates for other institutions to have to follow suit,
or Donald Trump and his administration are going to be
going after him.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It is two eighteen.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
If you've got thoughts on this or anything else, you
can be a part of the show. Call us four
oh two five five eight eleven ten. Four oh two
five five eight eleven ten. You can email Emory at
kfab dot com. You're listening to news radio eleven ten
KFAB and raise Longer four oh two five five, eight
eleven ten, and we would love for you to call
in with your thoughts on anything that's going on in
the news today. Did want to remind you I have
(09:30):
an interview I'm going to play in about fifteen minutes
that is relating to the shooting the Israeli couple that
was working at the embassy in DC that was shot
in Colblow. We mentioned the story yesterday, but some questions
about how this could be politically motivated, as you know,
kind of like weaponizing this tragedy is something on either
(09:51):
side of the aisle on how that could affect how
people are talking about the relations with Israel and of
the war in Gaza itself coming up in about fifteen
minutes or so. Now, I wanted to, you know, keep
this fun and lieharder. I don't want to, you know,
be bogged down with heavy stuff all day. So I
found what today is, Matt. Can you guess what today is?
(10:13):
The holiday? If you will, I don't know if holiday
is the right word, the day of observer of observance.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Okay, well these are always so random, so I'll just
make a random.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I guess I will confirm this is incredibly random.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Are we talking national international.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
What do we talk This is world something worldwide.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, it's May third, Worldwide Clean your grill Day.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's important. It's an important thing to do. I'm not
always great at cleaning the grill. Sometimes I forget about
how grimy it can get if you don't give it
a good wash at the beginning of every season.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
But I'm usually pretty good about it.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That is not what it is, however, it is International
Synthesizer Day. Okay, you got a synthesizer shout out that
you'd like to make.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A synthesizer shout out. I don't own any currently.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I used to. Well, I got a couple. I'll let you.
I'll let you get the phone.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I think so iconic synthesizer stuff was really in the
nineteen seventies. It sounds just super duper creepy. As you know,
some of these, you know, like instrumental and experimental musicians
had some ideas of things that were happening in the
music scene, and they, I mean some of that stuff,
(11:27):
like it sounds like robots making music in the seventies.
We really refined it though in the nineteen eighties, and
I think it's as crazy as it sounds. I would
say the most iconic synthesizer part in popular music I
think maybe ever and correct me if this is hyperbole
is van Halen Jump, which is weird to say because
Eddie van Halen is one of the great guitar players
(11:48):
who ever lived, and we're talking about a synthesizer part
is like one of the most signature sounds that the
band ever produced. So do you do you have a
synthesizer like a favorite synthesizer heart or somebody who whenever
they were playing it. I mean, I suppose like Dennis
DeYoung from Styx from the seventies into the eighties. I
mean there's some sick synthesizer parts and stick songs, you know,
(12:09):
like from Blue Collar Man or Sweet Madam Blue, all
sorts of you know, synthesizer sound stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, I definitely revolutionized music, and it's been cool how
it's been used over the years. I would say, I
don't know. I mean, there's so many that come to mind,
there's almost too many. It's say, my favorite artist that
uses a lot of synthesizers would be aphex Twin Ah
of course. Yeah, A lot of people think of him
as kind of like the founding father of electronica music. Yeah, yeah,
(12:38):
but yeah, I think it's really cool what you can
do with them.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
A lot of people who maybe aren't as familiar with
them might think you're just doing something on a computer.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
There is absolutely musicality to it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's just cool the advancements and technology what you can
do with music now.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, And that's one thing that they have done is
if you listen to anybody talk who's really good with synthesizers.
All the different synthesizers have their own various sounds, and
it only makes you look at it a bit differently.
All Right, the phone lines are open four, two, five, five, eight, eleven, ten,
and you can talk about whatever's on your mind today.
Let's start with Heyzus, Hey zus, welcome to the show.
(13:13):
What are you thinking about?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
How is it going? Well, let's see if I can
remember I was a child in the seventies. But there's
Alan Parson van Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, Alan Parson's project. That's some good stuff out there.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yeah, and then our city is really good right now
with the synthesizers. Sure and everything. But that was I
was going to I want to also comment about your
about the president and the executive order and there's a
lot of radical people out there and that create a
lot of issues.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
And the one thing I wanted to talk about too,
and it's happening. It's happening all over Europe and it's
and we're starting to see pockets of it happening throughout
the country is people wanting Middle Easting people that want
to have Sharira law in place wherever go. And that
completely is against our constitution and I believe, and we
(14:06):
don't talk about it enough and it's basically part of
the invasion. When I was in Europe, in Paris and
in London, you just I mean, this was like almost
ten years ago, but it's even worse now, and it's
it's over here. I mean, they're talking about building cities
and having that completely in place in our in the country.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, well, Hazeus, I think that's one thing that we
definitely need to really get to the nuts. And Boltzer,
do you really care about the people of Palestine? Are
you trying to kind of institute an entirely different culture
and system of government in this country which is never
going to happen. We have to kind of figure out
where those hair split and then attack the one that
actually makes sense for us to say, this will never happen,
and you need to get this out of your brain.
(14:46):
If you're living in the United States, you bet it.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
And one and one other thing is that because we
our constitution has a lot of basis of Judeo Christian right,
you know, and when the count what's happening now is
because we have a constitution that is a that has
a lot of in place because of Judeo Christian laws
and influence, we have a country now that is turning
(15:12):
away from that and is becoming more atheistic now and.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Then it's noticeable for sure, hazeus. I want to try
to sneak a couple of other calls, can I real quick?
But I really appreciate the call today. Thanks so much
for your fears.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
A couple of synthesizer calls here, Brian on the phone
line four two five five eight, Happy world, synthesizer day there, Brian,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Oh? Hey, thank you. You know, so, there was a
big transition in synthesize sounds. So at first they would
like they would record a saxophone playing and then they'd
be like, oh, that makes a sound wave that looks
like this. So then so then the synthesizer would be like,
(15:54):
we're going to make this sound wave and it's going
to sound like a saxophone. And then so that was
that was these kinds of synthesizers, and then the digital
age came around, and now.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
You play a synthesizer and you and use say saxophone,
it is a saxophone and it's being like reproduced perfectly.
So that that was yeah, so like yeah, so it's
kind of interesting how how technology changed the whole synthesizer
thing and super cool.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, yeah, and you can you can just hear like
the production value of these synths now because we have
so much you know, different sounds out of our fingertips
with each of these instruments, you can really get exactly
what you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
It's good, it's good stuff. Ryan. I appreciate the call today,
Thanks for listening to our show.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Oh you bet, you bet.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
I like the show.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
To thank you. Let's go to Aaron real quick before
we hit the bottom of Aaron. You got a synthesizer
song that's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, I was, I think I was about ninety five
percent offended that the first words weren't the final countdown. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Now see now that you say that, I you know,
like and I have that as a as a bumper.
I play that, you know when we come back from
break that. I mean it is like you want to
talk about just anybody who hears that, like hair should
go up on the back of your neck of how
just like powerful and how how good that is. It's
(17:14):
an excellent, excellent example of great synthesizer work. Thereby the
guys in Europe. Good call there, Aaron, Thanks for correcting us.
Appreciate it all right, that's one of the synthesizer's. Fred's
on the phone line four oh two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten. What do you got for me?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Fred?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
As your winner, Frankenstein, come on, of course, I mean,
like I'm we need to get that back in the
rotation before we get in the spooky season. I mean
like that entire song is a great use of that
creepy seventies sounding synthesizer sound that you know again, we'll
just kind of make the hair stand up on the
back of your neck as you're listening to it.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Good call Fred, you can't leave out ELP.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, no, I appreciate appreciate the note there, buddy, Thanks
for so much for taking part. We'll probably bring up
the synthesizers a little bit later on too, because it's
just fun to talk about. When we come back, though,
I'm going to play an interview that I had with
someone about the implications politically of the shooting in Washington,
d C. That's coming up here on news radio eleven
ten kfab and raised songer
