Speaker 1 (00:00):
I believe their identities and qualification should have been made public,
as was stated by our search firm consultant at a
public board meeting.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Come on, those consultants we paid that money for, they
said we should make it public who they were maybe
going to be hiring out. With Trustee Susan Wintrup there,
we'll have more from her comments here of course. Now
in case you're just catching up here, the interim superintendent,
mister Hurr was made the official superintendent Gustavo Gustavo Baldera's
(00:35):
National Superintendent the Year in twenty twenty by the American
Association of School Administrators. Those guy's sound like can do
throwing touchdowns to me, sounds like a hot shot out
on the field of education. Sounds like somebody that actually
isn't just talking about plans that they've never implemented on
(00:57):
their own, but it actually has a playbook and he's
actually sketched out the plays and then gone out on
the field and executed. Even done a little dance in
the end zone, a little celebrating, you know how those
graduation hats go up woo. That's their version of end
zone celebrating. And then they go on and you know,
(01:21):
maybe become a pro or something. Yeah, I can can
teach him how to play the game of life, which
we know if you're not educated. That's a harder buggy
later on, isn't it. Yeah, that's one of those that
Trustee Witsrup. But talking about there that we just whoop
right on over. No, no need nothing to see hare Fresnel,
(01:43):
Please caepe malbanger players keep moving. Stronger candidates keep that quiet.
It was the six to one vote, Trustee Viva Eastless
saying that mister Hurst stood shoulders above other candidates.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You know they always talk about the old boys network,
it's the old girl's network. Really, is president unifight? Trustee
Susan Widtrip said, President Unified no longer has the muscle
memory of what effective leadership looks and feels like. Is
teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic that emotional? I guess
(02:28):
it is. Let's go hear more from Trustee Susan Woodtrup
here the lone no vote on this decision. That many
are like, what in the world we had a right
to participate the public? Maybe a little bit more here.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, there is so much I cannot tell you because
of confidentiality, and the Brown Act, which was designed to
guarantee the public's right to participate, but unfortunately is weaponized
to shield the district so that root causes are wept
under the rug instead of solved. Any strategic wisdom about
(03:05):
solving problems is expended through evasion, deception, and triangulating board members.
Does this sound like student centered leadership to you?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, it doesn't. It really doesn't at all. If a
little girl, no, no, no, please not again, not again,
not again.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The potential applicants I talked with had leadership and superintendent
experiences from a variety of school districts. They were recognized
in their fields and highly regarded for the results seen
in their districts. We missed out on an incredible opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Sounds like we did. It should be the kids missed out.
I know what she meant by that, but that's that's really,
that's it. Most of us have gone through K through
twelve already. Let's listen to I will respect the office,
Superintendent her. I'll stop the mismisty stuff. Superintendent Her. She
(04:06):
explains how they really listen here and all the sensitized data.
I think is that's what I heard it's these words
that if Okay, I want the school district to succeed,
that means kids succeed, That means families succeed. That means
there's less crime on the street and all of that.
But she needs to learn real quickly how to talk
to people on a level like like Trump can do,
(04:29):
like Bill Clinton can do. Even Governor Cuomo in New
York knew how to talk to people on a level
that's understandable, where it just doesn't sound like a bunch
of gobbley goop. Is that what we call clear.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
The gold and the gargos came from the community. And
what happened was when the board hell all those community sessions,
we took the we synthesize the data from all those
community sessions, and that's what we used in December to
come up with the four goals, the and the four guardrails.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I get that right, right, since so that's data, guardrails, guardrails,
four goals, but just talk to us again sometimes oversimplified. Now,
if you don't teach them to read, again, they're not
going to learn to read to get really really So
that's the.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
First goal, and I think it's a really good goal
because if you don't teach kids to read by first grade,
they're not going you They have to learn how to
read before they can read to really understand.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Right, this kid, I hate at the expense of the
kids to have show content. But my word, okay, let's
give a chance. Maybe the second goal here is going
to really grab us. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
So that's very important. The second goal is around interventions
that no matter what students, because we're not going to
get the students every single same students every single year.
Students move in and out from district to district, right,
but no matter where they come, and they come all
that different, you know, from different.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Places, right, so people move. I think that's what she
wanted to say, come into the district. You know, she
could have said each school year, we have new people
moving in and then that instead of just thought, anyhow, Okay,
she's talking about these interventions, don't Is that just being
communicating with You're not talking about sitting around, Hey, what's
(06:26):
going on? Hey, we're having an intervention. Sit down? No, no, now,
listen to this. She's like gonna explain it again. This
is a lot of words to just explain the basics
of you know, the basic grade level. You know, we
we don't want them to go down. We want them
to go up grade level. I guess that's her job. Yes,
we realize all this, but listen.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So, no matter where they come to us, we have
to give them intervention. If a child is below grade level,
where our job is to bring them up to grade level.
If a child is already on grade level, our job
is also to accelerate.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Don't Oh okay, So if they're flunking, our job is
to make them not flunk. And if they're not flunking,
our job is to move them to the next grade. Bravo. Yes,
you have the full concept of this job. Whoo and
we move them up to the next Is that? What
(07:20):
is that? What happens if you're if you're excelling because
of an intervention, because of sensathized data, that we move
them to the next grade level. We like going from
fifth grade to sixth grade somebody, you know, sophomore becoming
a junior?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Is that? So?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I don't want people to think about like intervention as
just students who are below grade level, because intervention is
also for students who are on grade level, for students
who should above grade level. And should be accelerated.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Oh okay, now boy, I'm glad that we had some
of those those retreats, you know, or really learned how
we were gonna really focus in and know what to
ask for with this this job. Again. Yes, just like
when Joe Biden became president, I was like, yeah, I said,
I wanted to be successful because we're successful. That would
(08:10):
mean the country would be successful. I would like for
her to be successful, just like I would like a
quarterback to sever throwing a touchdown if they come in
and I want that team to win, I would want
them to throw touchdowns. So let the games begin. Oh,
here's a new game in other news, I'll say, and
(08:33):
I encourage you to go read. It's rather in dept.
I'm just gonna read the headline here. Maybe it will
at Edward Smith gvwire dot Com President unifieds new superintendent
allegedly helped promote her help promote her cousin four lawsuits
claim nepotism and incompetence. Well, the games have already begun.
I printed it out at six pages, so I'm like
(08:58):
that's one of those where all right, go go read
the law court stuff on your own right there I'm like,
get a little board with that. Here on the show,
Anthony W. Hadad gbwire dot com pros unifis carefully choreographed production.
They called it the Great Fresno Unified Production. Oh it
(09:20):
really was, wasn't it. You see so many of the
of the Old Girls Network here and ladies I'm older
than you. Quit, I'm just using the Old boys Network,
the Old Girl's Network. Stop it now. I know you
don't ever offend the ladies' age. I'm not doing that.
I'm saying it. It's your connections there. You know spring chickens,
(09:40):
you know what I'm talking about. They use it as
stepping stones to get to some kind of other political right,
and the word got out. I guess they didn't want
the word out that, Hey, there's some really other strong
quarterbacks we should look at over here in the real world.
(10:03):
We want the best. Why can't they education here live
in reality? They said. Long before mister Hurr became superintendent,
she was a kindergarten student struggling how to read at
Jefferson Elementary in the nineteen eighties. This is a frizzlebeet
dot com. Lucky Zong born and raised in China for
(10:27):
a perspective. She writes here about superintended her. It was
in the very classrooms that her parents cleaned for thirty
years she learned to read and write and dream pursuing
the career as an educator. Mister Hurst stated, here, see
that's good. That's the American story. I like to hear
that that's what made America strong when people came here
(10:49):
and worked hard. Her parents are custodians, worked hard. Somehow
she really learned to read. But hold on, let me
go back to the b article here. After she was
appointed interim superintendent, she recounted walking the hallways at the
Distress Downtown headquarters where the portraits of former superintendent's hung
on the walls, all of them male. It only fueled
(11:14):
her desire for the permanent post. I thought for a moment,
why would be like all of them male? Well, they
taught her how to read so well that she became
a superintendent.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
This is the Trevor Charry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, I was sitting in Denver, or the guy next
to me in the airport to my left. I was
much more talkative on the way back than I was
on the way there. But yeah, he uh, he's probably
around my age, and he said he's on his way
to Fresno to see Morrissey, who was performing that night.
He follows around he's seen like I don't know, one
hundred and something shows big Morrissey fan and I guess
(11:58):
he was in Fresno Sunday night. You know, really the
difference between Tennessee and California I kind of figured out
on this trip. It's like, it's like Tennessee is like
your buddy that like when you're a kid or something.
You know, it shows up a kool aid and a
canteen knocking on your front door at eight forty five
on a Saturday morning? Can he come out and play?
California is more like a set up playdate. The moms
(12:21):
arrange it right. All slices of society are that way too.
You can kind of cookie cutter it in everything.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
There's nothing wrong with either. But that's I think that's
a good description right there. As we bounce around the country,
the iHeartRadio app Get It make Power Talk your number
one pre set like to thank Gary up in Oregon
listening as well, and he was like, worre's President Trump
gonna address the death, you know by the experimental mRNA injection.
(12:52):
That's a good question. Gary, thank you for sending that
one in there to me. I appreciate that. But yeah,
will he ever? I I don't see it, do you?
RFK Junior will have to see It's kind of like
hard to go up against your boss sometimes. First of
(13:13):
that appointed you here. I don't know if it'll come
up tonight at all at five o'clock here, I'm not.
I'm not going to be on the air. I have
a two hour show today. And if it was TV,
seeve me smiling. Cuomo town Hall with President Trump. Bill
O'Reilly's going to be there, Steven A. Smith is going
(13:33):
to be there. RFK Junior is going to be there again.
Cuomo town Hall with President Trump. Yes, that's right, Chris
Cuomo town Hall with President Trump. Because remember how the
the Cuomos I think he's in this little media montage
I have here. Let me tell you tell me something, yeah,
back of that, let me tell you something about Trump Man.
(13:55):
We're telling with them. This was right right after or
right before twenty twenty. When they're ready, you know, throw
everybody in jail and let me tell.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
You something about the sixty nine million people that voted
for Donald Trump. These people have revealed themselves for the
racist that they are, for the tribalists that they are.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You think that's every Trump voter.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
They've voted for this consciously knowing what Donald Trump stood
for for the last four years.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They know them.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yeah, you are being targeted, but not because you're victims,
because you're victimizing.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
The rest of us.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
And I don't think that they should be forgotten.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And I don't think that we should look the other way.
I think we need to remember. People must remember and
hold you to account.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
I do think that people need to be held accountable.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
How much are we gonna just let pass by?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
You cannot come into this White House with the idea
that these people aren't the enemy.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
They are.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who
are a time of moral crisis, remain neutral.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Ah, go to hell and burn. They were telling us, Yeah,
the enemy again tonight, dude. Fast forward into the future.
April thirtieth, twenty twenty five. Cris Cuomo, President Trump, Stephen A. Smith,
Bill O'Reilly, RFK Junior. If that is not just a
(15:16):
full spectrum right.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Shame on them.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
They are going to lose way more than this election.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All right, Cloma, you come around, buddy, Thank thanks for
coming around. RFK Junior did say he is considering pulling
the running Rios vaccine from the official childhood vaccine schedule.
I hope that comes up tonight. I really do. He
was asked. I think, is doctor Phil about kim trails. Now,
(15:46):
Tennessee outlaw kim trails maybe doesn't go into effect until
twenty twenty six or something. I don't know. But outside
out in the country where my dad's birthday party was.
I was outside the building there and I was looking up.
I got a picture on them. They're kim trailing. They're
in Tennessee. But this young lady ask RFK Gina the question.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
My biggest concern is the stratospheric aerosol injections that are
continuously peppered on us every day, bromium, aluminum, strontium. It's
sprayed in our skies all day long. And I know
you've talked to Dane Wiggington about this. He seems to
be one of the experts in the field. Yes, how
(16:24):
do we stop it?
Speaker 10 (16:27):
That is is not happening in my agency? You know,
we don't do that. It's done we think by DARPA,
and a lot of it now is coming out of
the jet fuel. You know, those materials are put in
jet fuel. We I'm going to do everything in my
power to stop it. We're bringing on somebody who's going
(16:50):
to think only about that, find out who's doing and
holding them accountable.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Find out who's doing it. They're flying right above our skies.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power doc.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
There's amazing, don't We still have the tapes of our
announcements around ODI and all of these reforms and efficiencies
that we've been advancing for years and years and years.
It's just again difficult to sort of break out of that,
you know, the attention challenge.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Boy, they're all related at Superintendent Misty her Kamala Harris
and Gavin News and they all have that saying a
whole lot and I really don't know what are you
talking about. I hate to talk about this, but it's
good news after some really horrible news. Two people in
custody for the deadly shooting that happened at the barber shop.
(17:45):
Remember the innocent dad and the two boys down, Get
haircuts before Easter. Police took eighteen year old Kobe chan
Targansky into custody on Sunday along with Adrian at Shaveria.
Lease was an accessory to the crime happened right there
at the barbershop at Belmont and Vans. There a forty
(18:07):
four year old Pompierre Contaro was killed. Police said he
was an innocent bystander there. This is kids because if
I mispronounced the first name, I apologize there Jampi e Er.
I had three years of Spanish. One again, I do apologize.
Two other people were shot though, and have been released
from the hospital on that This this guy that they
(18:31):
arrested there for allegedly being the the killer, was getting
his haircut, started shooting underneath the barber's chair through the
cape covering his vest. I mean nineteen twenty three outskirts
of Chicago thing. He was booked in the Fresno County
Jail for murder and other charges. In Good News, the
(18:52):
Fresno City employee that was attacked out in Chinatown, fifty
six year old Ten Smith now moved out of intensive
care good lower level of care. The electrician that he's
worked like two decades of the city down there working
on an electrical box, doing his job on April eleven,
dunting and I said I have pork chops and or whatever,
(19:12):
and then bam, bam bam attacked. Thirty year old Dylan
Hopkins was the attacker. DA's office charged him one count
of attempted murder, one count of assault with the Deadly
weapon enhancement for causing great bodily injury enhancement for committing
a crime while released on his own recogniants down guilty
could face sit a twelve years of life in prison again,
(19:34):
one of these guys that shouldn't have been out. Everybody
pointing the fingers around, but you know there are people here.
It's just saying this county that have to deal with
those liberal Democrats in Sacramento that create all these laws.
Now we can't change it, but we really need those
(19:55):
people that I mentioned that are good people. We have
a good DA, We have a good share we have
I gonna say, border supervisors. There's some I think all
of them don't want crime to be out of control.
Republicans and Democrats. We have just a little bit more
quasi saying or some Democrats here than other whacked out
(20:16):
parts of the state. Come together, man, just for all
our own safety. This isn't involved politics. This involves being
able to be a Democrat or a Republican and work
on an electrical box without the fear of being clubbed
over your head. This means being a conservative talk show
host that don't need to worry about walking to his
car in a parking lot because of all the transients
(20:39):
walking around, the criminals that are let out, the people
that we look at them, our heart hurts fro them.
There's something wrong with their brains. There's some mental conditions.
I don't know if they've had it for years. I
don't know if it's matthamphetamine or our trank induced. But
(20:59):
it's there and until they day, we can't do it. Guys,
we're civilians. You got a gun, you got a badge
in there? I don't. I don't have a gavel. I
don't have We can just talk about it, the violence
with the young kids. I was back in Tennessee. It's
(21:24):
like man guy out of McDonald's right there in Clovid
shot after church, eighteen year old klub Quick. Here's another one.
Monica Ramerez lost her seventeen year old brother, Carlos he
was shot and killed at a party and went And
here's another one and Hanford, a fifteen year old boy
stabbed another teen to death outside the mall. A please
(21:47):
said on that and involved kids as young as eleven.
There's another one, seventeen year old rested after firing a
rifle in a Readley neighborhood. Now facing a tiphed homicide church.
Let's do the math on this. These kids were eleven
and twelve during the summer of George Floyd rage. These
(22:08):
were the kids that were locked out of school. These
are the kids that we put on meds. So imagine
during your very formidable years of eleven, twelve, thirteen, especially males,
(22:29):
and you saw the rage on TV. Maybe he went
to a rager one of the protests. Maybe the angers
built up here and then you you were locked out
of school. And a lot of times they're on mom home,
went a da at home. Maybe it was their you know,
eighteen year old sister that had to go work at
(22:51):
the at the bank, you know, part time or something
in and out. So so many kids were left alone
and then again the meds. Tennessee is passing the law
now where if you a mass shooter over a certain
amount of people. They're going to make sure that the
autopsy has done to check on psychotropic drugs. I mean,
(23:16):
what do we expect with the rage and the lockdown
and the meds. What Beaver and Wally Cleaver got a
bunch of Eddie Haskells with weapons at Hanford Mall. Story
seventeen year old boy killed in a stabbing outside the mall.
(23:38):
The guy that was willing to take his life allegedly.
Here's a fifteen year old they don't identify him. He's
in King's County Juvenile Center on a charge of murder.
But this young man that was stabbed Lorenzo Sanchez, senior
at Corkran High School. He wanted to play ball at
(24:00):
Preston State. He's down at the hand for Mall Lacey
Boulevard right there Cole's Department Store, about five point thirty Saturday,
and he gets into an argument with some other teenagers
out front and led to the stabbing. They have video
of this. It showed him instead once in the neck
(24:21):
from behind Maddicks roll in. But no, he died at
the scene. Let's make this real life story even sadder.
The young man's mom was inside them all at the
time and fout came out there outside of Cole's and
(24:44):
there's your bleeding dead son. Police detained the group later
that night. We're able to identify the suspect in that group,
so he'll probably be tried as an adult. Had a
stabbing Monday night here in Tresna Bullard in College just
before eight o'clock. The guy stabbed in his Torso I
(25:07):
guess we're dealing with grown ups doing the stabbing there.
Ah man. I had an update on another innocent man.
Do you remember that story? I think I mentioned it
once about this guy and his wife sitting on a
bus stop down in Tucson. This is back first of
the month. They were on a vacation and they actually
(25:28):
traveled by bus from California back home to Alabama, but
decided to stop in Tucson to kind of look around
the area. Some guy started yelling at him. This was
a guy father, two kids, out with his wife on
a vacation and the guy came up with a machete
type knife and just slashed his neck. Well, he was
like in intensive care. He was airlifted out life support,
but he just he just passed away, all right, isn't
(25:51):
that's some some sad news. I'm glad they caught the
barber shop shooter there took some good work. Let's uh
before we go to Paul Leuffler here next, he's going
to be out after this break. We got the Honor
Flight coming back. Gonna lit the mood up a little bit.
(26:12):
Five five forty two forty two Brent and Mariposa. Welcome, sir,
Hi Trevor.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I really enjoyed your show. Listen. I don't know if
you're aware of it, but Eddie Haskell, you know he
was an actor, he played a type, right, but did
you know that he became an LAPD officer after his
acting career and he was actually shot in the line
of duty.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You stop it with that, when Brett, you're kidding. No,
I was not aware of that. That's something else, Like
I could see him. I could see him in those
LAPD blues, right. I got to look that up. I
bet there's pictures out there, aren't there.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
There may be my my brother, my brother in law,
who he was LAPD and he told me the story.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's something Brett. Well, hey, thanks for catching that little
quick line I did right there. Hey, we all had
a buddy didn't we That was kind of Eddie Haskelish.
Everybody had that guy, or maybe you were that guy. Brent,
Thanks buddy, appreciate the call. Right there are there some
pictures up all right, there's some pictures. I'll go in
there and I'll look at them during the break here
because we are we're going to go to Paul Leffler.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
This is the Tremor Carry show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's been a moment. Good to hear your voice. You
caught me sneaking out of church.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
You know that's a great line, isn't it? Be caught
sneaking out of.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Church by Paul Leffler, none other with a deep voice.
And I didn't see him in the dark. I thought
it was God in a tree or something. Trevor, whoa, whoa, whoa.
But thanks for turning around. We got to speak to
our congressman from the Congo you introduced me to that night,
because you turned me around.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Well, hey, God's plans are always better than ours.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
My friends, and God's planing these gentlemen's lives that are
on an airplane coming back. He had a plan for
their lives because many of their fellow men around them,
and some women didn't make it back. And it's always
a bittersweet, isn't it. And Paul tell them about honor flight,
am I. I just segued into it that way.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Well, and that's the fitting segue, because that's what they say.
I mean a lot of these guys, I don't know
how they survived. I have gentlemen on this fight tell
me that, you know, he made a deal with God
and if he got out of their lives that he'd
spend the rest of his life serving God. And he
told me it took him seven years to start fulfilling
that promise, but he hasn't quit since. I mean, there's
so many stories. We have a veteran on this fight
(28:34):
who lost a brother in the Korean War. We have
a veteran who lost his father in World War Two,
and so many of these guys, I mean, forty six
of the sixty seven aboard served in the Vietnam era,
and almost every one of them has at least one
name on that Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall that it was
really important to go see and touch and bring home
a rubbing of. And they're coming home tonight. So this
(28:57):
is the part where we is the collective people of
the valley get to provide for them something they didn't
get fifty years ago. And I don't know if you realize,
but today, April thirtieth is the fiftieth anniversary of the
end of the Vietnam War. It was fifty years ago
today that Saigon fell. And when these guys came home
fifty years ago, for some of them closer to sixty
(29:18):
years ago, they didn't get a welcome home. They got
the opposite. And we get to cheer for them. We
get to make them feel like a million dollars. We
get to send a message loud and clear that their
service is not forgotten. So that's what it's all about
tonight here at the airport, welcoming home some of our
vallet heroes.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
What time is the FAA, Paul Leffler, bring go and
tell us maybe it'll be coming in on your radar
there at the early evening here.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, And that's always kind of a moving target, right,
But the crowd is already building, already, have some sailors
from nas themar here looking sharp in their whites, and
they always line the hallway and salute our mess as
they come through. They are the plane, our charter plane
with the Legion Airlines is making a fuel stop in
Colorado Springs in just a few minutes. As soon as
they're in the air, from that we'll have a real
(30:05):
clear picture. But right now, the best guess looks like
they'll be on the ground around six thirty maybe six
forty five, and after that, you know, we'll line them
up and march them through. So if your listeners can
be here by seven o'clock, seven to fifteen, they'll get
to see them marching through. If they can get here earlier,
they'll enjoy a lot of the festivities here at the airport.
(30:28):
You know, we'll have the closest community band playing we
were in. We're doing a baseball show out here, Trevor
on thirteen forty four Sports Radio Tonight with a couple
of Bulldog players. The athletic director Garret Classy's going to
be here. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It does, and the best kind of way I think
to describe it is minus all the confetti. But we
see those World War two Fifth Avenue with the confetti
and the soldiers, and it's that same kind of spirit
scaled down into a more closer intense feel, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Yeah, Yeah, that's you know, there's a flow to it,
right and there's a big crescendo, and right now we're
just starting to build that crescendo. But when those vets
come through the door and the band plays and all
these people from all over the valley right to me,
it's just a reminder of what we can accomplish here
when we find something to agree on. Because you look
around that crowd and nobody looks the same. They're not
(31:19):
the same age, they don't vote the same, they don't
go to the same place on Sundays that worship. But
here's something that we can agree on. These veterans deserve
our gratitude, and when you see the look on their
face coming through that crowd, it just reminds you of
why it's so important to do this.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I just flew back to Tennessee and back at fifty
nine years old, and I'm worn out. You fly around
the country with your sports, but these gentlemen of an
upper age, they must be worn out when they get home.
I'm just going to assume that. But that jolt of
energy that crowd gives them as they're coming back. I
bet many. I'm probably won't even be able to go
to sleep past midnight tonight.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
You know, we hear that a lot. They're wired. Yeah,
so it is. It's an exhausting three day trip and
they've had a few curve balls, but they've had some
pleasant surprises too. One of the big highlights today, Trevor
has always happens is when they were leaving Arlington National
Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there were
some junior high kids from Illinois and Alaska of all
(32:16):
places that line the sidewalk and greeted each one of
those veterans and thanks them for serving our country. So
we didn't plan that, but.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
At a prompt too impromptu. Yeah like that. It fires
them up, it does.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, head out Fresno or airport. Everybody knows where that is.
We need one more airport, little insignia on the Peach
Street exit side, we need one right there. Can you
work on that while you're out there. Can you talk
to the airport director and get Mayor Dyer together and
let's get that.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
It's a good idea. And I'm glad you mentioned that
because there happens to be a construction project over here
right now. So McKinley Avenue is closed. So if you
do take one eighty to Peach, keep in mind Peaches
down to one lane and may take you a little while.
You may need to plan some extra time. Otherwise, the
airport's recommending you enter from the west off of Clinton,
(33:08):
So if you come in on Clinton, you can come
right into the parking lot. But if you're coming on
Teach you can still get there, it just may take
you a little longer. And McKinley has closed down in
both directions between Clovis and Chesnut.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
All right, go to your GPS. They're type in Frosno
Airport via Clinton.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Bam, that does that work.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I've never tried that, but I don't know streets in
the last ten years i've lived here, only because I've
lived during GPS times. It's just dumb, just down, man,
it really has. But your mental and audio you're a
mental and audio really military historian throughout your life. So
I need to ask you. Have you seen the colorization
of World War One? What they've gone back and done.
(33:49):
I think it was called when they were young or
something like that. Have you seen any of that?
Speaker 7 (33:53):
I have seen some of that, isn't it staggering? It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
It really brings well, of course, yeah, I don't even
know what, but it's amazing what they're doing well, Paul Lefler,
Thank you, sir. And we'll look forward to that baseball
talk and that military talk. And I'm kind of I'm
ready for football season already, so I got to hold
it back a little bit.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Well, it'll be here before you know it. And I'll
look forward to those those talks and your coloring masterpieces
as well.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
And oh boy, we got some name, image and likeness
talk to do, don't we.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Oh I hope not. But hey, as soon as we
know kind of exact eta, once they've left their fuel stop,
I'll pass that on and you.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Can shall announce it, you bet, your Paul God bless
you all the work out there. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Thanks Trevor, appreciate the support you got.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Your Paul Leffler. Ladies and gentlemen, honor flight again. Uh
just start heading on now
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Insistent Trevor Cherry Show London Valley's Power Talk
I believe their identities and qualification should have been made public,
as was stated by our search firm consultant at a
public board meeting.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Come on, those consultants we paid that money for, they
said we should make it public who they were maybe
going to be hiring out. With Trustee Susan Wintrup there,
we'll have more from her comments here of course. Now
in case you're just catching up here, the interim superintendent,
mister Hurr was made the official superintendent Gustavo Gustavo Baldera's
(00:35):
National Superintendent the Year in twenty twenty by the American
Association of School Administrators. Those guy's sound like can do
throwing touchdowns to me, sounds like a hot shot out
on the field of education. Sounds like somebody that actually
isn't just talking about plans that they've never implemented on
(00:57):
their own, but it actually has a playbook and he's
actually sketched out the plays and then gone out on
the field and executed. Even done a little dance in
the end zone, a little celebrating, you know how those
graduation hats go up woo. That's their version of end
zone celebrating. And then they go on and you know,
(01:21):
maybe become a pro or something. Yeah, I can can
teach him how to play the game of life, which
we know if you're not educated. That's a harder buggy
later on, isn't it. Yeah, that's one of those that
Trustee Witsrup. But talking about there that we just whoop
right on over. No, no need nothing to see hare Fresnel,
(01:43):
Please caepe malbanger players keep moving. Stronger candidates keep that quiet.
It was the six to one vote, Trustee Viva Eastless
saying that mister Hurst stood shoulders above other candidates.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You know they always talk about the old boys network,
it's the old girl's network. Really, is president unifight? Trustee
Susan Widtrip said, President Unified no longer has the muscle
memory of what effective leadership looks and feels like. Is
teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic that emotional? I guess
(02:28):
it is. Let's go hear more from Trustee Susan Woodtrup
here the lone no vote on this decision. That many
are like, what in the world we had a right
to participate the public? Maybe a little bit more here.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, there is so much I cannot tell you because
of confidentiality, and the Brown Act, which was designed to
guarantee the public's right to participate, but unfortunately is weaponized
to shield the district so that root causes are wept
under the rug instead of solved. Any strategic wisdom about
(03:05):
solving problems is expended through evasion, deception, and triangulating board members.
Does this sound like student centered leadership to you?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, it doesn't. It really doesn't at all. If a
little girl, no, no, no, please not again, not again,
not again.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
The potential applicants I talked with had leadership and superintendent
experiences from a variety of school districts. They were recognized
in their fields and highly regarded for the results seen
in their districts. We missed out on an incredible opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Sounds like we did. It should be the kids missed out.
I know what she meant by that, but that's that's really,
that's it. Most of us have gone through K through
twelve already. Let's listen to I will respect the office,
Superintendent her. I'll stop the mismisty stuff. Superintendent Her. She
(04:06):
explains how they really listen here and all the sensitized data.
I think is that's what I heard it's these words
that if Okay, I want the school district to succeed,
that means kids succeed, That means families succeed. That means
there's less crime on the street and all of that.
But she needs to learn real quickly how to talk
to people on a level like like Trump can do,
(04:29):
like Bill Clinton can do. Even Governor Cuomo in New
York knew how to talk to people on a level
that's understandable, where it just doesn't sound like a bunch
of gobbley goop. Is that what we call clear.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
The gold and the gargos came from the community. And
what happened was when the board hell all those community sessions,
we took the we synthesize the data from all those
community sessions, and that's what we used in December to
come up with the four goals, the and the four guardrails.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I get that right, right, since so that's data, guardrails, guardrails,
four goals, but just talk to us again sometimes oversimplified. Now,
if you don't teach them to read, again, they're not
going to learn to read to get really really So
that's the.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
First goal, and I think it's a really good goal
because if you don't teach kids to read by first grade,
they're not going you They have to learn how to
read before they can read to really understand.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Right, this kid, I hate at the expense of the
kids to have show content. But my word, okay, let's
give a chance. Maybe the second goal here is going
to really grab us. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
So that's very important. The second goal is around interventions
that no matter what students, because we're not going to
get the students every single same students every single year.
Students move in and out from district to district, right,
but no matter where they come, and they come all
that different, you know, from different.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Places, right, so people move. I think that's what she
wanted to say, come into the district. You know, she
could have said each school year, we have new people
moving in and then that instead of just thought, anyhow, Okay,
she's talking about these interventions, don't Is that just being
communicating with You're not talking about sitting around, Hey, what's
(06:26):
going on? Hey, we're having an intervention. Sit down? No, no, now,
listen to this. She's like gonna explain it again. This
is a lot of words to just explain the basics
of you know, the basic grade level. You know, we
we don't want them to go down. We want them
to go up grade level. I guess that's her job. Yes,
we realize all this, but listen.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So, no matter where they come to us, we have
to give them intervention. If a child is below grade level,
where our job is to bring them up to grade level.
If a child is already on grade level, our job
is also to accelerate.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Don't Oh okay, So if they're flunking, our job is
to make them not flunk. And if they're not flunking,
our job is to move them to the next grade. Bravo. Yes,
you have the full concept of this job. Whoo and
we move them up to the next Is that? What
(07:20):
is that? What happens if you're if you're excelling because
of an intervention, because of sensathized data, that we move
them to the next grade level. We like going from
fifth grade to sixth grade somebody, you know, sophomore becoming
a junior?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Is that? So?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I don't want people to think about like intervention as
just students who are below grade level, because intervention is
also for students who are on grade level, for students
who should above grade level. And should be accelerated.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Oh okay, now boy, I'm glad that we had some
of those those retreats, you know, or really learned how
we were gonna really focus in and know what to
ask for with this this job. Again. Yes, just like
when Joe Biden became president, I was like, yeah, I said,
I wanted to be successful because we're successful. That would
(08:10):
mean the country would be successful. I would like for
her to be successful, just like I would like a
quarterback to sever throwing a touchdown if they come in
and I want that team to win, I would want
them to throw touchdowns. So let the games begin. Oh,
here's a new game in other news, I'll say, and
(08:33):
I encourage you to go read. It's rather in dept.
I'm just gonna read the headline here. Maybe it will
at Edward Smith gvwire dot Com President unifieds new superintendent
allegedly helped promote her help promote her cousin four lawsuits
claim nepotism and incompetence. Well, the games have already begun.
I printed it out at six pages, so I'm like
(08:58):
that's one of those where all right, go go read
the law court stuff on your own right there I'm like,
get a little board with that. Here on the show,
Anthony W. Hadad gbwire dot com pros unifis carefully choreographed production.
They called it the Great Fresno Unified Production. Oh it
(09:20):
really was, wasn't it. You see so many of the
of the Old Girls Network here and ladies I'm older
than you. Quit, I'm just using the Old boys Network,
the Old Girl's Network. Stop it now. I know you
don't ever offend the ladies' age. I'm not doing that.
I'm saying it. It's your connections there. You know spring chickens,
(09:40):
you know what I'm talking about. They use it as
stepping stones to get to some kind of other political right,
and the word got out. I guess they didn't want
the word out that, Hey, there's some really other strong
quarterbacks we should look at over here in the real world.
(10:03):
We want the best. Why can't they education here live
in reality? They said. Long before mister Hurr became superintendent,
she was a kindergarten student struggling how to read at
Jefferson Elementary in the nineteen eighties. This is a frizzlebeet
dot com. Lucky Zong born and raised in China for
(10:27):
a perspective. She writes here about superintended her. It was
in the very classrooms that her parents cleaned for thirty
years she learned to read and write and dream pursuing
the career as an educator. Mister Hurst stated, here, see
that's good. That's the American story. I like to hear
that that's what made America strong when people came here
(10:49):
and worked hard. Her parents are custodians, worked hard. Somehow
she really learned to read. But hold on, let me
go back to the b article here. After she was
appointed interim superintendent, she recounted walking the hallways at the
Distress Downtown headquarters where the portraits of former superintendent's hung
on the walls, all of them male. It only fueled
(11:14):
her desire for the permanent post. I thought for a moment,
why would be like all of them male? Well, they
taught her how to read so well that she became
a superintendent.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
This is the Trevor Charry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, I was sitting in Denver, or the guy next
to me in the airport to my left. I was
much more talkative on the way back than I was
on the way there. But yeah, he uh, he's probably
around my age, and he said he's on his way
to Fresno to see Morrissey, who was performing that night.
He follows around he's seen like I don't know, one
hundred and something shows big Morrissey fan and I guess
(11:58):
he was in Fresno Sunday night. You know, really the
difference between Tennessee and California I kind of figured out
on this trip. It's like, it's like Tennessee is like
your buddy that like when you're a kid or something.
You know, it shows up a kool aid and a
canteen knocking on your front door at eight forty five
on a Saturday morning? Can he come out and play?
California is more like a set up playdate. The moms
(12:21):
arrange it right. All slices of society are that way too.
You can kind of cookie cutter it in everything.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
There's nothing wrong with either. But that's I think that's
a good description right there. As we bounce around the country,
the iHeartRadio app Get It make Power Talk your number
one pre set like to thank Gary up in Oregon
listening as well, and he was like, worre's President Trump
gonna address the death, you know by the experimental mRNA injection.
(12:52):
That's a good question. Gary, thank you for sending that
one in there to me. I appreciate that. But yeah,
will he ever? I I don't see it, do you?
RFK Junior will have to see It's kind of like
hard to go up against your boss sometimes. First of
(13:13):
that appointed you here. I don't know if it'll come
up tonight at all at five o'clock here, I'm not.
I'm not going to be on the air. I have
a two hour show today. And if it was TV,
seeve me smiling. Cuomo town Hall with President Trump. Bill
O'Reilly's going to be there, Steven A. Smith is going
(13:33):
to be there. RFK Junior is going to be there again.
Cuomo town Hall with President Trump. Yes, that's right, Chris
Cuomo town Hall with President Trump. Because remember how the
the Cuomos I think he's in this little media montage
I have here. Let me tell you tell me something, yeah,
back of that, let me tell you something about Trump Man.
(13:55):
We're telling with them. This was right right after or
right before twenty twenty. When they're ready, you know, throw
everybody in jail and let me tell.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
You something about the sixty nine million people that voted
for Donald Trump. These people have revealed themselves for the
racist that they are, for the tribalists that they are.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You think that's every Trump voter.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
They've voted for this consciously knowing what Donald Trump stood
for for the last four years.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They know them.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yeah, you are being targeted, but not because you're victims,
because you're victimizing.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
The rest of us.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
And I don't think that they should be forgotten.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And I don't think that we should look the other way.
I think we need to remember. People must remember and
hold you to account.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
I do think that people need to be held accountable.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
How much are we gonna just let pass by?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
You cannot come into this White House with the idea
that these people aren't the enemy.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
They are.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who
are a time of moral crisis, remain neutral.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Ah, go to hell and burn. They were telling us, Yeah,
the enemy again tonight, dude. Fast forward into the future.
April thirtieth, twenty twenty five. Cris Cuomo, President Trump, Stephen A. Smith,
Bill O'Reilly, RFK Junior. If that is not just a
(15:16):
full spectrum right.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Shame on them.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
They are going to lose way more than this election.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
All right, Cloma, you come around, buddy, Thank thanks for
coming around. RFK Junior did say he is considering pulling
the running Rios vaccine from the official childhood vaccine schedule.
I hope that comes up tonight. I really do. He
was asked. I think, is doctor Phil about kim trails. Now,
(15:46):
Tennessee outlaw kim trails maybe doesn't go into effect until
twenty twenty six or something. I don't know. But outside
out in the country where my dad's birthday party was.
I was outside the building there and I was looking up.
I got a picture on them. They're kim trailing. They're
in Tennessee. But this young lady ask RFK Gina the question.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
My biggest concern is the stratospheric aerosol injections that are
continuously peppered on us every day, bromium, aluminum, strontium. It's
sprayed in our skies all day long. And I know
you've talked to Dane Wiggington about this. He seems to
be one of the experts in the field. Yes, how
(16:24):
do we stop it?
Speaker 10 (16:27):
That is is not happening in my agency? You know,
we don't do that. It's done we think by DARPA,
and a lot of it now is coming out of
the jet fuel. You know, those materials are put in
jet fuel. We I'm going to do everything in my
power to stop it. We're bringing on somebody who's going
(16:50):
to think only about that, find out who's doing and
holding them accountable.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Find out who's doing it. They're flying right above our skies.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power doc.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
There's amazing, don't We still have the tapes of our
announcements around ODI and all of these reforms and efficiencies
that we've been advancing for years and years and years.
It's just again difficult to sort of break out of that,
you know, the attention challenge.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Boy, they're all related at Superintendent Misty her Kamala Harris
and Gavin News and they all have that saying a
whole lot and I really don't know what are you
talking about. I hate to talk about this, but it's
good news after some really horrible news. Two people in
custody for the deadly shooting that happened at the barber shop.
(17:45):
Remember the innocent dad and the two boys down, Get
haircuts before Easter. Police took eighteen year old Kobe chan
Targansky into custody on Sunday along with Adrian at Shaveria.
Lease was an accessory to the crime happened right there
at the barbershop at Belmont and Vans. There a forty
(18:07):
four year old Pompierre Contaro was killed. Police said he
was an innocent bystander there. This is kids because if
I mispronounced the first name, I apologize there Jampi e Er.
I had three years of Spanish. One again, I do apologize.
Two other people were shot though, and have been released
from the hospital on that This this guy that they
(18:31):
arrested there for allegedly being the the killer, was getting
his haircut, started shooting underneath the barber's chair through the
cape covering his vest. I mean nineteen twenty three outskirts
of Chicago thing. He was booked in the Fresno County
Jail for murder and other charges. In Good News, the
(18:52):
Fresno City employee that was attacked out in Chinatown, fifty
six year old Ten Smith now moved out of intensive
care good lower level of care. The electrician that he's
worked like two decades of the city down there working
on an electrical box, doing his job on April eleven,
dunting and I said I have pork chops and or whatever,
(19:12):
and then bam, bam bam attacked. Thirty year old Dylan
Hopkins was the attacker. DA's office charged him one count
of attempted murder, one count of assault with the Deadly
weapon enhancement for causing great bodily injury enhancement for committing
a crime while released on his own recogniants down guilty
could face sit a twelve years of life in prison again,
(19:34):
one of these guys that shouldn't have been out. Everybody
pointing the fingers around, but you know there are people here.
It's just saying this county that have to deal with
those liberal Democrats in Sacramento that create all these laws.
Now we can't change it, but we really need those
(19:55):
people that I mentioned that are good people. We have
a good DA, We have a good share we have
I gonna say, border supervisors. There's some I think all
of them don't want crime to be out of control.
Republicans and Democrats. We have just a little bit more
quasi saying or some Democrats here than other whacked out
(20:16):
parts of the state. Come together, man, just for all
our own safety. This isn't involved politics. This involves being
able to be a Democrat or a Republican and work
on an electrical box without the fear of being clubbed
over your head. This means being a conservative talk show
host that don't need to worry about walking to his
car in a parking lot because of all the transients
(20:39):
walking around, the criminals that are let out, the people
that we look at them, our heart hurts fro them.
There's something wrong with their brains. There's some mental conditions.
I don't know if they've had it for years. I
don't know if it's matthamphetamine or our trank induced. But
(20:59):
it's there and until they day, we can't do it. Guys,
we're civilians. You got a gun, you got a badge
in there? I don't. I don't have a gavel. I
don't have We can just talk about it, the violence
with the young kids. I was back in Tennessee. It's
(21:24):
like man guy out of McDonald's right there in Clovid
shot after church, eighteen year old klub Quick. Here's another one.
Monica Ramerez lost her seventeen year old brother, Carlos he
was shot and killed at a party and went And
here's another one and Hanford, a fifteen year old boy
stabbed another teen to death outside the mall. A please
(21:47):
said on that and involved kids as young as eleven.
There's another one, seventeen year old rested after firing a
rifle in a Readley neighborhood. Now facing a tiphed homicide church.
Let's do the math on this. These kids were eleven
and twelve during the summer of George Floyd rage. These
(22:08):
were the kids that were locked out of school. These
are the kids that we put on meds. So imagine
during your very formidable years of eleven, twelve, thirteen, especially males,
(22:29):
and you saw the rage on TV. Maybe he went
to a rager one of the protests. Maybe the angers
built up here and then you you were locked out
of school. And a lot of times they're on mom home,
went a da at home. Maybe it was their you know,
eighteen year old sister that had to go work at
(22:51):
the at the bank, you know, part time or something
in and out. So so many kids were left alone
and then again the meds. Tennessee is passing the law
now where if you a mass shooter over a certain
amount of people. They're going to make sure that the
autopsy has done to check on psychotropic drugs. I mean,
(23:16):
what do we expect with the rage and the lockdown
and the meds. What Beaver and Wally Cleaver got a
bunch of Eddie Haskells with weapons at Hanford Mall. Story
seventeen year old boy killed in a stabbing outside the mall.
(23:38):
The guy that was willing to take his life allegedly.
Here's a fifteen year old they don't identify him. He's
in King's County Juvenile Center on a charge of murder.
But this young man that was stabbed Lorenzo Sanchez, senior
at Corkran High School. He wanted to play ball at
(24:00):
Preston State. He's down at the hand for Mall Lacey
Boulevard right there Cole's Department Store, about five point thirty Saturday,
and he gets into an argument with some other teenagers
out front and led to the stabbing. They have video
of this. It showed him instead once in the neck
(24:21):
from behind Maddicks roll in. But no, he died at
the scene. Let's make this real life story even sadder.
The young man's mom was inside them all at the
time and fout came out there outside of Cole's and
(24:44):
there's your bleeding dead son. Police detained the group later
that night. We're able to identify the suspect in that group,
so he'll probably be tried as an adult. Had a
stabbing Monday night here in Tresna Bullard in College just
before eight o'clock. The guy stabbed in his Torso I
(25:07):
guess we're dealing with grown ups doing the stabbing there.
Ah man. I had an update on another innocent man.
Do you remember that story? I think I mentioned it
once about this guy and his wife sitting on a
bus stop down in Tucson. This is back first of
the month. They were on a vacation and they actually
(25:28):
traveled by bus from California back home to Alabama, but
decided to stop in Tucson to kind of look around
the area. Some guy started yelling at him. This was
a guy father, two kids, out with his wife on
a vacation and the guy came up with a machete
type knife and just slashed his neck. Well, he was
like in intensive care. He was airlifted out life support,
but he just he just passed away, all right, isn't
(25:51):
that's some some sad news. I'm glad they caught the
barber shop shooter there took some good work. Let's uh
before we go to Paul Leuffler here next, he's going
to be out after this break. We got the Honor
Flight coming back. Gonna lit the mood up a little bit.
(26:12):
Five five forty two forty two Brent and Mariposa. Welcome, sir,
Hi Trevor.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
I really enjoyed your show. Listen. I don't know if
you're aware of it, but Eddie Haskell, you know he
was an actor, he played a type, right, but did
you know that he became an LAPD officer after his
acting career and he was actually shot in the line
of duty.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You stop it with that, when Brett, you're kidding. No,
I was not aware of that. That's something else, Like
I could see him. I could see him in those
LAPD blues, right. I got to look that up. I
bet there's pictures out there, aren't there.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
There may be my my brother, my brother in law,
who he was LAPD and he told me the story.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's something Brett. Well, hey, thanks for catching that little
quick line I did right there. Hey, we all had
a buddy didn't we That was kind of Eddie Haskelish.
Everybody had that guy, or maybe you were that guy. Brent,
Thanks buddy, appreciate the call. Right there are there some
pictures up all right, there's some pictures. I'll go in
there and I'll look at them during the break here
because we are we're going to go to Paul Leffler.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
This is the Tremor Carry show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's been a moment. Good to hear your voice. You
caught me sneaking out of church.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
You know that's a great line, isn't it? Be caught
sneaking out of.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Church by Paul Leffler, none other with a deep voice.
And I didn't see him in the dark. I thought
it was God in a tree or something. Trevor, whoa, whoa, whoa.
But thanks for turning around. We got to speak to
our congressman from the Congo you introduced me to that night,
because you turned me around.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Well, hey, God's plans are always better than ours.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
My friends, and God's planing these gentlemen's lives that are
on an airplane coming back. He had a plan for
their lives because many of their fellow men around them,
and some women didn't make it back. And it's always
a bittersweet, isn't it. And Paul tell them about honor flight,
am I. I just segued into it that way.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Well, and that's the fitting segue, because that's what they say.
I mean a lot of these guys, I don't know
how they survived. I have gentlemen on this fight tell
me that, you know, he made a deal with God
and if he got out of their lives that he'd
spend the rest of his life serving God. And he
told me it took him seven years to start fulfilling
that promise, but he hasn't quit since. I mean, there's
so many stories. We have a veteran on this fight
(28:34):
who lost a brother in the Korean War. We have
a veteran who lost his father in World War Two,
and so many of these guys, I mean, forty six
of the sixty seven aboard served in the Vietnam era,
and almost every one of them has at least one
name on that Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall that it was
really important to go see and touch and bring home
a rubbing of. And they're coming home tonight. So this
(28:57):
is the part where we is the collective people of
the valley get to provide for them something they didn't
get fifty years ago. And I don't know if you realize,
but today, April thirtieth is the fiftieth anniversary of the
end of the Vietnam War. It was fifty years ago
today that Saigon fell. And when these guys came home
fifty years ago, for some of them closer to sixty
(29:18):
years ago, they didn't get a welcome home. They got
the opposite. And we get to cheer for them. We
get to make them feel like a million dollars. We
get to send a message loud and clear that their
service is not forgotten. So that's what it's all about
tonight here at the airport, welcoming home some of our
vallet heroes.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
What time is the FAA, Paul Leffler, bring go and
tell us maybe it'll be coming in on your radar
there at the early evening here.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, And that's always kind of a moving target, right,
But the crowd is already building, already, have some sailors
from nas themar here looking sharp in their whites, and
they always line the hallway and salute our mess as
they come through. They are the plane, our charter plane
with the Legion Airlines is making a fuel stop in
Colorado Springs in just a few minutes. As soon as
they're in the air, from that we'll have a real
(30:05):
clear picture. But right now, the best guess looks like
they'll be on the ground around six thirty maybe six
forty five, and after that, you know, we'll line them
up and march them through. So if your listeners can
be here by seven o'clock, seven to fifteen, they'll get
to see them marching through. If they can get here earlier,
they'll enjoy a lot of the festivities here at the airport.
(30:28):
You know, we'll have the closest community band playing we
were in. We're doing a baseball show out here, Trevor
on thirteen forty four Sports Radio Tonight with a couple
of Bulldog players. The athletic director Garret Classy's going to
be here. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It does, and the best kind of way I think
to describe it is minus all the confetti. But we
see those World War two Fifth Avenue with the confetti
and the soldiers, and it's that same kind of spirit
scaled down into a more closer intense feel, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Yeah, Yeah, that's you know, there's a flow to it,
right and there's a big crescendo, and right now we're
just starting to build that crescendo. But when those vets
come through the door and the band plays and all
these people from all over the valley right to me,
it's just a reminder of what we can accomplish here
when we find something to agree on. Because you look
around that crowd and nobody looks the same. They're not
(31:19):
the same age, they don't vote the same, they don't
go to the same place on Sundays that worship. But
here's something that we can agree on. These veterans deserve
our gratitude, and when you see the look on their
face coming through that crowd, it just reminds you of
why it's so important to do this.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I just flew back to Tennessee and back at fifty
nine years old, and I'm worn out. You fly around
the country with your sports, but these gentlemen of an
upper age, they must be worn out when they get home.
I'm just going to assume that. But that jolt of
energy that crowd gives them as they're coming back. I
bet many. I'm probably won't even be able to go
to sleep past midnight tonight.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
You know, we hear that a lot. They're wired. Yeah,
so it is. It's an exhausting three day trip and
they've had a few curve balls, but they've had some
pleasant surprises too. One of the big highlights today, Trevor
has always happens is when they were leaving Arlington National
Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there were
some junior high kids from Illinois and Alaska of all
(32:16):
places that line the sidewalk and greeted each one of
those veterans and thanks them for serving our country. So
we didn't plan that, but.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
At a prompt too impromptu. Yeah like that. It fires
them up, it does.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, head out Fresno or airport. Everybody knows where that is.
We need one more airport, little insignia on the Peach
Street exit side, we need one right there. Can you
work on that while you're out there. Can you talk
to the airport director and get Mayor Dyer together and
let's get that.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
It's a good idea. And I'm glad you mentioned that
because there happens to be a construction project over here
right now. So McKinley Avenue is closed. So if you
do take one eighty to Peach, keep in mind Peaches
down to one lane and may take you a little while.
You may need to plan some extra time. Otherwise, the
airport's recommending you enter from the west off of Clinton,
(33:08):
So if you come in on Clinton, you can come
right into the parking lot. But if you're coming on
Teach you can still get there, it just may take
you a little longer. And McKinley has closed down in
both directions between Clovis and Chesnut.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
All right, go to your GPS. They're type in Frosno
Airport via Clinton.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Bam, that does that work.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I've never tried that, but I don't know streets in
the last ten years i've lived here, only because I've
lived during GPS times. It's just dumb, just down, man,
it really has. But your mental and audio you're a
mental and audio really military historian throughout your life. So
I need to ask you. Have you seen the colorization
of World War One? What they've gone back and done.
(33:49):
I think it was called when they were young or
something like that. Have you seen any of that?
Speaker 7 (33:53):
I have seen some of that, isn't it staggering? It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
It really brings well, of course, yeah, I don't even
know what, but it's amazing what they're doing well, Paul Lefler,
Thank you, sir. And we'll look forward to that baseball
talk and that military talk. And I'm kind of I'm
ready for football season already, so I got to hold
it back a little bit.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Well, it'll be here before you know it. And I'll
look forward to those those talks and your coloring masterpieces
as well.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
And oh boy, we got some name, image and likeness
talk to do, don't we.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Oh I hope not. But hey, as soon as we
know kind of exact eta, once they've left their fuel stop,
I'll pass that on and you.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Can shall announce it, you bet, your Paul God bless
you all the work out there. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Thanks Trevor, appreciate the support you got.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Your Paul Leffler. Ladies and gentlemen, honor flight again. Uh
just start heading on now
