Speaker 4 (00:45):

Speaker 3 (00:47):
So seven seven nine six two if you want to
say hi or.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Hey to us.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah, we'd love to hear from you comments on anything
we're gonna chat about. Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
So President Trump is threatening to send the military Harry
here to Baltimore. He threatened over the weekend to send
forces to quote quickly clean up crime, escalating his push
to deploy National Guard troops to cities across the country.
In a truth social post, Trump said if Governor Wesmore
(01:17):
needs help quote like Gavim Newso did in La, then
he would send troops in He used a derogatory nickname
for California's governor and referenced his recent deployment in La.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Governor Moore responded by saying Trump quote would rather attack
his country's largest cities from behind a desk than walk
the streets with the people they represent.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We'll see.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Trump also threatened to pull federal funding for replacement of
the Key Bridge, which collapsed last year, of course, despite
federal government previously agreeing to pay for its reconstruction.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You know what I'm curious about, Yeah, the military. I mean,
we love our military. Should I God bless our troops?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
But I just wonder what can they do that police
can't do when it comes to crime, because I think
it's an assumption that's factual, that a lot of the crime,
if not most, comes from drug related issues. Right, So
that's like a deep thing. Where how how's the military marching?
(02:22):
I don't know marching is the right word, but coming
into a city, how are they gonna do it?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
How is that the answer? Yeah? How is that going
to do anything? The question on a lot of people's mind.
That's what I wonder about.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And Wes Moore has said in lots of interviews, like
the military is there, you know, for our protection, for
our safety, like sure when it comes to like especially
the National Guard, when it comes to like like I
don't know, weather events and people have jobs, These people
have lives, Like we're pulling them from their lives. For
a job that's not well, I don't know. We will
(02:53):
talk more about that later. Netflix has claimed the number

what like an old school microphone?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah? Well, I thought it would be my first tat
should be a mic on mike, you know what I mean.
And I've always liked the old school looking mike. Yeah,
I don't think you know. The first thing I thought
was I need another tattoo. Now that's what happens.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
As soon as you get them, you want another tat.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, but it's going to take some time to think
about how I want to orchestrate it.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Does it hurt? Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Well, it was a I would say a three or
a four on a scale of one to ten. Yeah,
but this is definitely the song that was ringing through
my head. I like the it's kind of I like
how you shaded it. Yeah, you know it's really good.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, I'll post a picture right now, all right, Michael
j and Bethany on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Michael Jay's Music City minute in sixty seconds.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
You gon't know like you own music row.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Bethany Morgan is making a lot of news this morning.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
First off, over the weekend, he had a show in
New England at Boston Gillette Stadium, home of the Patriots,
and he always has somebody local walk out with him,
which was, you know, a big deal. And then he
gets the crowdbow bumped up. Well he's backstage, look who
he's standing next to, and he's wearing a jersey that
(07:20):
says six to one seven rather than his normal football number.
What that was because six one seven, I guess area
code for Boston. Okay, Rob Gronkowski and the crowd. Here's
the crowd.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
That's all you could hear. They went absolutely nuts. Bronk
danced out with Morgan. The other thing that Morgan's doing
that's making news is the Grammys are coming up, and
you had talked a couple of weeks ago about how
they're having this new country category. Morgan has been nominated before,
but he got out in front of it this year
(07:55):
and he is not not submitting for a Grammy. So
he's like, I'm not going to be there. Don't expect me.
Remember when he won the CMA Award, he didn't show either,
and he won the Entertainer. He just doesn't like to
be snubbed, and not that he would be snubbed. He
Mike got a lot of nominations, but I can't think
(08:17):
of why Elsie would not want to submit. But he's
got till the end of this month, another four days,
and he says he's not going to do it.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
He thankfully is allowing like his co writers and his
like producers and stuff like that if they want to submit,
right they can.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
But Morgan will not be at the Grammy Awards collecting
a trophy. You know, I look at Jelly Roll now
and I think, how the heck did he tat his face?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Because now I know what it feels like. I got
to think that would hurt.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I would imagine wherever you've got, like where with the
skin is the thinnest is you know what I mean?
It would it feels different even on my shoulder in
different spots it was.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
And it wasn't like you.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Know, torture excruciating, No, but it's aggravating pain.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You know what You're like, would you knock that off?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But you just want to deal with it because you
want to You want the results, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So anyway, now now that I've got my first TAT,
I feel like I've heard this from so many people.
You know, Oh you got to get another one. It happens,
you do immediately, it is, you know, and next thing
you know, you're doing your eyelids.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
But so you just got back from your vacation. You
went to go to Denver to visit your daughter.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah it wasn't I mean, it was a vacation, it
was a getaway. Yeah, it was three days but it
was a chance to kind of catch up with my daughter, who's,
you know, twenty.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Nine, and she's in love and.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
She wanted me to meet the guy that she's been
dating for the last year, because it's been a minute
since I've been in Denver. Denver is such a beautiful spot.
It's beautiful, but l elevation is definitely an issue. You
feel that, you can feel that, yeah, you definitely, it
just I don't know how to explain it. Just kind
of like a you got to drink a lot of water.
You gotta be hydrated if you go there. And but beautiful,
(10:14):
lovely neighborhoods. You know how on Zillow you know about
this because you're in real estate. You can look up
the value of houses.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah. So my daughter's like, you got to see Cherry Creek.
I'm like, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So she took me around to some neighborhoods, lovely homes,
a lot of people renovating. There's definitely different architecture. You
get everything from the really contemporary, you know, flat roof,
you know, modern looking house next to the farmhouse that's
been redone. Anyway, the values we saw twenty million dollar homes. Wow,
(10:45):
unlike half acre lots. Wow, who's living in a twenty
million I mean, that's just crazy to me. I can't
even comprehend.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
You can't wrap my head around that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And I'm thinking maybe like the Denver Broncos football players,
a basketball player maybe.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But even then, twenty million dollars is just had.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
And I looked at property tax forty seven thousand a
year like in the you know, and the average we
went through neighborhood after neighborhood that were like average homes
two million dollars. Really yeah, crazy, crazy expensive. Everybody wants
that Colorado high I guess, I guess. So I went
to some breweries, you know, they have the IPA thing
out there too that like Saint Pierre talks about in
(11:26):
the afternoon, had some Colorado beer that was good. They
have dispensaries everywhere like we have. They had the same
issues in the city. Everywhere you look. They have a
lot of homeless, which I find really sad. I mean
it's just around the the because Denver's the capital, so
around the capitol it's just so many homeless.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Encampments, you know, just everywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But beautiful weather, the mountains, the rocks, just it's it's incredible. Yeah,
you almost feel like you're like on another planet in
some spots.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Everybody who I know who lives in Colorado absolutely swears
by it.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Would you did you go back? Would you?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I definitely got to go back. I mean yeah, but
I don't know how long my daughter's going to live there.
She's been there for five years, so you know, I
don't ready for maybe a new change. Yeah maybe, I
don't know, we'll see. But really fun. It was just
fun to get away because I hadn't flown any place
for a minute.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But shout out to United and Southwest. It was amazing.
Three hours boom Baltimore to Denver. Good safe, Yeah, nice,
no problems whatsoever.
Speaker 10 (12:33):
Love that.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah. I'm trying to think of any other highlights. I
mean we just you went horseback riding.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we went horseback riding and it
was this is just the day before yesterday. It was
hot during this ride. It was an hour through the prairie,
you know, and you get to see like prairie dogs
and you know, but we're going through this area that
looks like it could become a golf course, you know,
just like and nice homes like on the on the perimeter.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So we're riding horses, okay, And.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
There was a couple who I had my Marilynd turps
hat on and the guy said, hey, you went to Maryland.
I'm like, yeah, I went there and my daughter's there
and whatever. He's like, oh, I graduated and I think
he said eighty six or whatever. Yeah, and his wife
was very lovely and we're talking. So she gets up
on what she's on the horse, and I've got pictures.
She's about five horses in front of me.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Steph. My daughter turns around.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
She's like, because there's wranglers with us, all right, turns
around to the wrangler and says, this lady needs help
because she was like saying she's not feeling good. And
the wrangler said, who needs help? The child in front
of her or the adult? She says the adult. So
the wranglers like speeding up to come up to help
this lady. I'm watching her as she just like tips
(13:47):
off the horse and falls off there she passed out,
Oh my god, and fell on her.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Head and her shoulder.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So I mean they had to end the whole ride,
and the paramedics came in that helicopter. I felt so
horrible about you know, like that's terrible. Yeah it is,
because it just you try to go have a good
time and then we're having a great experience, you know
what I mean. And so the lesson I learned is do.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
We know if she's okay? No, we don't know. Oh
my god, I hate that. I know because it's Hippa.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
You know, she's just she was just riding from and
I said, you know, I gave the guy, like I say,
a prayer for her.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
They wanted us to get out of the area.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
They're like, all right, rest of the horse because the
because the paramedics couldn't come in until the horses were
off the trail.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh so uh it was a drama. I felt like
it was in the middle of a movie.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Uh. But anyway, so the lesson learned is if you
do travel to the Rockies, uh, drink a lot of water,
stay hydrated, and and watch because it really does affect
how you feel. And you know, all of a sudden,
you can just black you can just black out.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
So anyway, I had a wonderful trip. The tat's awesome.
I'm than that you stayed upright on the horse oh.

So ninety three point one wpocs this Saturday in the country?

Bethany on your the way you countdown now, you don't
include today or Saturday.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
So there are four days, four days till Saturday in
the country days.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Until all the fun. We're giving away tickets this week too.
We'd love to hook you up again tomorrow morning, a
little after seven. So when you did the brief this morning, yeah,
you had a story about what's going on.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, So, as we know, Washington, DC is now being
patrolled by the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
When you say patrolled, you mean what they're like, they've
taken over the police force. And I understand that part.
But is in tanks? Is it in vans?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Is It looks like from the videos that I've seen
and social media reports, I haven't bended s since this happened,
And if you have, feel free to call and chat
with us about it.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
It looks like there are lots of lots.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Of vehicles present, okay, and lots of patrol on foot
of National Guard and local police and ice agents.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now mm hmm, it seems okay. So before this happened,
both Baltimore and Washington, d C. Had statistically seen a
drop in crime Okay, crime rates in Baltimore are the
lowest they've been in fifty years, like stats, that's a fact, right, Okay,
same with DC. But President Trump said, no, we got
(27:14):
to clean it up. So that's why the National Guard
came in and quote unquote cleaned up Washington, DC. Now,
Governor Moore and President Trump are having a debate.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
On the debate, they're throwing you know, it's it's kind
of like school yards. Well, you know, they're throwing names
at each other.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Well, and President Trump is threatening to take away funding
for the Key Bridge, which.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Is a pretty big deal. That's a concern.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
So now the question is do Baltimore residents or people
who work in Baltimore want this to happen? Way the
pros and cons think about what it really means. Do
you want it to happen? And we would love to
hear where you are on this because like we can
hear people on the news talk about it, we can
(27:59):
talk about it, we can report what's actually happening, what
you know, but like, what are the feelings, what's like?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
We just want to know.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
We're already getting some texts. Love to hear from you.
Seven seven ninety six y.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Two start with Hey or high.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You can also call eight hundred three two one thirty
six ninety three. We just want to take the tenth
in the room and find out what you're thinking. Let's
see twenty twenty nine says Hey. Absolutely, the sooner the better.
Obviously the leaders in Maryland don't have a grip on
the situation. Eighteen ninety nine says Hey, Absolutely, bring the
(28:33):
National Guard troops. They have been talking about doing something
about crime for decades. It gets exhausting listening to our
local Baltimore City politicians talk about how wonderful everything is
and how there is no real crime.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
That's just not the truth. Everybody that lives in the
city knows it.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
You know, there is a lot of crime, the crimes
in cities all across the country, and when you look,
I mean I just went on Google, and you know,
again I haven't dug deep into this, Bethany, but when
I asked, you know, for the top twenty cities when
it comes to crime, yeah, we're number four, right, so
(29:11):
you know, Saint Louis, Memphis, I believe, is number one.
There's a lot of a lot of cities that have
their issues, and we're getting tons of calls.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Well, yeah, let's you want to grab a phone?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
All right, Good morning ninety three point one WPOC.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Who's this?
Speaker 11 (29:27):
This is Jennifer.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
All right, Jennifer, did you want to weigh in here
and give us your two cents.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
On the Baltimore Say absolutely.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
I've worked in Baltimore since I was seventeen years old.
I still work in Baltimore, and I'm going to name
the location Charles and Saratoga Street.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Okay, I walked through box from where I park my car.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
H huh.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
I have almost been attacked.
Speaker 11 (29:52):
I have almost been robbed getting in our buildings, I
walk over trash and over about nine homeless. I'm approached
by homeless and addicts for money, and when you don't
give them money, you're spit ut.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, it definitely.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Needs to be done. I totally understand. I mean from
from a standpoint of safety and fear. You know, uh,
I get it.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
My boss walks me.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
I sit in my car and wait with it running
until he arrives.
Speaker 12 (30:30):
Right, and he walked me to my car every day.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
You know what, we not walk alone.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
She makes it some really good points.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
And you know, you look at if you remember and
if you've lived in Baltimore long enough. You may remember,
you know, when Harbor, when Harbor Place opened, it was
the most vibrant you know. I mean, I'm sure there
was some crime back then too, but not on the
scale of what we deal with. It was a vibrant,
exciting place to be. There were millions of people in
(30:58):
the Inner Harbor, you know, and that area absolutely, you know, and.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
You don't want to you don't want to go down there.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Now.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
We had a whole campaign in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Baltimore's best if you remember that, I do, and you
know it has it's one hundred and eighty degrees, so
I understand your concerns.
Speaker 11 (31:17):
Another thing, I was working the other day last week
and I heard all this screaming out front, and it
was a woman who Odi was oding, Well, I don't
carrying our cand because I personally don't approach these people
because when you take them most their eyes, they're angry.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
And then while I was on the phone with Ditch Patch,
four teenage kids thirteen to fifteen were stopping traffic on
Charles Street and one car didn't stop.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
One kid jumped on the hood and was beating the car.
And I'm trying to tell the dispatch, right, she said,
that's not what you made the call for.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh okay, one problem.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Well, listen, thank you for sharing all that with us.
We really appreciate you, and thanks for safe all right,
you got it, baby, Thank you so much. You know,
that is the feeling we're getting from a lot of
the text here to Bethany absolutely bringing the National Guard.
Local politicians need to follow the federal law. Baltimore City
needs help. The crime homeless people and drugs is out
(32:21):
of control.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Do you think that just Devil's advocate here having that
kind of a presence would slow down, tourism would slow down.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I don't think they're progressed. I don't think they're thinking
that for in advance. And my perception is it's like
there's this big problem and we got to do something
about it.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
And I'm just not sure.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I'm not sure if this solves the problem or puts
like a temporary band did on it. I don't know.
It feels like, so we do this and then what
is this permanent?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Forever? Is this? I don't know? It just I just
want to beg.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
The question ninety three point WPA to see good morning, Who's.
Speaker 12 (33:01):
This Hi, this is Laurie.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Hey Laurie, what did you want to say?
Speaker 12 (33:08):
I just want to say that I lived in Baltimore
City all of my childhood life, all the way up
to age twenty six, and to go back there now
and to see what the city has turned into and
now I just live out in the county, it is
just horrific. There's trash everywhere, there's crime everywhere. You can't
(33:31):
be in that part of the town at bus because
you know, you fear for your life every light you
go to. Someone approaches you. Every you know, there's always
harassment for something. And I think it's a good thing
that President Trust wants to come in and take order
and try to restore Baltimore City because I love Baltimore City.
(33:53):
I'd like it to be cleaned up and restored.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
All right, thank you very much for calling. We appreciate you.
So there you go. Just a couple of the comments
coming in.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Okay, it's I mean, when you when you're from here
and you've seen like what's happened.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
The problem's deep though, like you.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
I think that's why I'm wondering if this is going
to fix it, because it doesn't feel like a yeah,
it doesn't feel like an easy fix.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I guess maybe you got to walk and then you
gotta run, you know what I mean. In other words,
it's it. It's gonna come in steps if you're going
to try to fix the problem.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
And it's a lot of layers.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I mean, it's it's poverty, it's drugs, it's all of it.
There's a lot going on, so you know, yeah, but
I mean.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, it's just what an interesting issue, and it's Baltimore
on the main stage. I mean, everybody, this could set
a precedent for other cities, to those cities that are absolutely.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
It's going to have to be right exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So it's just interesting, like like, all eyes are on
Baltimore right now.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
So we're here to be a part of it with
you here at ninety fo three point one PC.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
It's been honder.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Ninety three point one WD POC Michael J and Bethany.
We're getting a lot of response to the question how
do you feel about you.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Know, it's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
We were talking about how potentially the National Guard could
be sent into Baltimore to clean up the crime, and
as we're talking to folks off the air, uh, and
through text messages, it's becoming apparent that it's not just
there's crime, let's have people come clean it up. Like
it's not that easy. It's it's not layered. It is
(35:55):
it's generational, it's mental health, it's uh, you know, the schools,
it's I mean like education, it's not. This is not
an easy fix, not at all. So I wonder about
what's going on in DC too, because this has already
happened in Washington, d c.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
This text is interesting. If the National Guard comes, it
should be in the city. I hear that in DC
the Guard is not in the bad areas, and I
wondered that is the National Guard just around the White House,
in the Capitol Building and the monuments, right or is
it you know?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Like yeah, I mean, like so I grew up in Hamilton,
all right, which is is East Baltimore, and that's Baltimore City.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
You know what I'm saying. But it's it's it's one
of the it's weird.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
It's like, as you were, Goopolare Road before you know,
you're iar in Parkville before you know. But that's still
Baltimore City and where Hamilton is, and it's really tough
when you are somebody who spent your whole life here
and you're really proud of our city, and you know,
there's two views. There's the there's the picture of Baltimore.
I'm just thinking a snapshot O my head. There's the
(37:01):
snapshot of like Sunday night football and the Ravens are playing,
you know, and there's this shot of Baltimore and they
show this beautiful like skylit, you know, the lights of
Baltimore Inner Harbor and the and the stadium. There's that view,
and there's the view of like fed Hill and Fell's Point,
you know, like, and there's certainly issues with crime and
(37:22):
things are in those areas, but you have you still
have on any given night a good number of people
in those areas. You get away from these and you know,
Harbor East, Harbor East. Yeah, you get away from that
immediate type of setting and you get into the actual
neighborhoods as you go towards Hamilton, as you go towards
(37:45):
montdomen If you as you go towards these different areas
of the city, and you start seeing the decay and
it's deep.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
It's it's the graffiti and it's the trash on the roads,
and it's the you know, the couches and the I mean,
you know, like you said, it is so deep.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Go ahead, you're in the air.
Speaker 13 (38:03):
Hi, Yes, I just wanted to comment on whether the
you know, the National Guard should be brought into Baltimore.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Yeah, go ahead, your next what do you want to say?
Speaker 5 (38:15):
I just want to say, I'm not from Baltimore.
Speaker 13 (38:17):
I'm from California, Okay, but I am telling you I
have lived here for almost twenty years now and it
is absolutely ridiculous to crime and all the crap that
goes on in Baltimore, and the mayor there he needs
to be kicked out because he's ridiculous his self.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
But where do you live right now?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
I live in glen Burney.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Do you do you feel safer when you're in glen
Burnie than you do in Baltimore?
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Yes? Good and there And there's a lot of people
that I know. I work on Fort Meade, you know,
through the military, and people there are like, don't even
want to go to Baltimore. They're like, no, don't go there.
And especially because I'm a single person, they're like, no,
you can't go by yourself and this and that and whatever.
(39:09):
Me personally, I'm not afraid, right, So I mean, if
I need to go to Baltimore, I will, right, But
it does need to be cleaned up. And whoever thinks
that it doesn't doesn't have their eyes open.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
All right, Thanks for Collin, you know, and I also
point out Bethany. I think a lot of it of
the perception we're hearing from a lot of women. And
I got to tell you, if I I'll go anywhere myself,
you know, but I'm a guy. I'm six foot two,
I'm a little I can be a little bit more
intimidating than maybe if my wife, you know what I'm saying.
(39:46):
And a lot of women, you know, when you're by yourself,
like the woman that called you works in Baltimore, she's
got to get someone to walk her to her car
and to work. I mean, and you know, so I
get it. I totally get it.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Mm hmm. Yeah, this is a tough situation issue.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Well, thank you everybody for a wheen, and we really
like to hear your opinions on how you're feeling about this.
It's like it's like you can be in it and
then you can hear people talking about it and feel
adjacent to it, you know, So we want to hear
your opinion so that you can feel like you're part
of part of the action.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Hey, Michael, jan and Bethany, didn't Larry Hogan bring in
the Maryland National Guard a few years ago? I do
remember the national Guard here. I'm trying to think that.
Maybe I don't know if it was the riots, or
if it was during the pandemic or what it was,
but I do remember national Guard being around the Inner Harbor.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
It's not It's happened throughout history that a national Guard
is brought in, but it's typically.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Like not just like, I don't this seems this seems different.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Well, we've got to get the key Bridge belt. This
whole separate issue, but we've got to get the key
Bridge belt. So I hope we can not mess that up,
you know what I mean? We got we got to
figure that out because we need to get our complete
belt way.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
Back ninety three point one w POC traffic make it.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
A traffic ninety five southbound at Keith Avenue and accident there,
moved to the shoulder things or stop and go from
O'Donnell Street or stop and go before the Harbor Tunnel
for a few minutes in the outer look between bell
At Road and Paring Parkway. Please, you guys be safe
out there on the roads of school buses and parents
all doing drop offs.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
And we just got to be aware of that again.
Okayo Heart
