Speaker 1 (00:23):
Hey, yeah, they they should calm down.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
The show is about to style on the radio. Turn
it up, turning it up, turn.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It up loud.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Do that could dream come true?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Due to the nature of this program, discretion does not exist.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's Race on the radio right now on w t
I S News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Let's go Friday. Yeah, what's up, scallowass?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Nut?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Megan all over the contract a fruitent planes. It's Rees
on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten to eighty.
We are going to have what I can only describe
as a Friday show. We've got Ladies' Night tonight. Roseanne's
in here. We're going to talk about parenting and a

(01:27):
whole bunch of other stuff. We've got the Reverend Pastor
Jacob Dell on the program today. We'll talk about his
fight with the Attorney General's Office, William Tong's office. We'll
talk about that. We've got headlines, we got a whole
bunch of other stuff. It's been an interesting week. I
am excited at this week's progression. Just everything that's happened

(01:50):
so far, it's been incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
I posted a couple.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Of pictures online last night right before I went to
bed and to wake up this morning and see them
go gangbusters across the internet.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
I just want to thank all of you.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
For sharing it. Roland, have you seen these pictures that
I posted. They're in the vein of the Babylon b right, Yeah,
I haven't seen them. Yeah, So one of them I
thought was pretty funny. That's getting that's getting some attention,
but a little bit of negative attention because people didn't

(02:29):
understand the quote, and I wrote, confusing constituents at home,
Chris Murphy embarks on nationwide tour of Connecticut sounding cities.
So the joke there is is that Chris Murphy is
never in Connecticut. He always seems to be on tour
in other places across the country.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
So I posted that and some people were like, wait
a minute, and I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
So I had to explain it to them, which means
that the joke didn't land if you have to explain
it to be so I may have to rethink that
in the future.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Maybe I should phrase it differently.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Another one that everyone caught on to was Senator Blumenthal
shares with crowd how safe and effective d quat was
in Vietnam, which everyone got. Everyone understood that joke which
I'm happy that that didn't need any further I guess clarification.

(03:28):
People understood it. I only got one or two people
who seem to be somewhat confused by the statement, but
overall it went by. And my final one, this is
my favorite, is Biden's auto pen inks twenty million dollar
book deal for doing most of the work. And that
is because yesterday we found out that Joe Biden has

(03:50):
been offered ten million dollars for his memoir and as you.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Know, the autopen did most of the work, as we
found out in.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Many of the cases. So if you want to check
those out, call to Resa on radio dot com or
follow me on my ex account which is Reese on Radio,
which also I may need some assistance here. So a
long time ago I got a Twitter account that was
Reese on the Radio, and I'm having some problems actually

(04:22):
accumulating that account, and I can't seem to get any
I don't know exactly how to do it, but I'm
trying really, really hard, but I've had no luck. Because
that is the handle I wish to have. The only
reason why it's Reese on Radio at X is because
Reese on the Radio, which is owned by me is
an old account that I can't seem to get into.

(04:42):
So anyway, I'll see if I can work it out
somehow or somebody be able to help me. If you
are technically or social media savvy, I would need your
help to do that. Also, I gotta say this. I
have never said this out loud in a while, or

(05:05):
maybe I said it before, but I almost feel like
it was maybe two years ago. It was the last
time I said this, and it may may not have
been heard, but I cannot wait to get to the
Nutmeg Steak. I mean, I've been dreaming about it in
ways that I never did before. But I don't think
I've ever been excited about being somewhere, and I am

(05:28):
really really excited to get there, even though I have
news today that suggests so many people are leaving the state,
and it's sad because where they're going good states. But
it would be nice for me, as a New York

(05:51):
boy who always dreamt of being in Connecticut after my
first foray there in two thousand and four, to get
back there. I feel a sense of calm, and.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
I don't know what a sense of home. I've always
felt like an.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Outsider when I lived in New York, I just knew
I didn't belong there, And the first time I got
to Connecticut, I just I felt like I was welcomed somewhere.
Weirdly enough, I remember what I dated, a girl who
went to Wesleyan, and that was before. That was my

(06:34):
first trip to Connecticut ever, in about nineteen ninety three,
nineteen ninety four, and I get it to Wesleyan and
I go there in the fall, which was probably why
I fell in love, because it was just too damn pretty.

(06:55):
It just was, and you I looked everywhere and all
I can see were red, brown, yellow, and green leaves,
and they were on the ground and everything when they
were falling down.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
It was Norman Rockwell.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
And maybe I just had an outer body experience there
because I just like, why can't I live here? And
my response, of course, was because you don't know anybody here,
You wouldn't even know what to do it yourself. And
then to go back in two thousand and four, March

(07:32):
of two thousand and four, and to be there the
entire like, I was there for weeks on end until
I had to move there. I just kept every time
I come back to New York I'm gotta get back
to Connecticut, can't wait to get back to Connecticut. And
every time I went, it was just more and more
fell in love, fell in love, fell in love. Now

(07:54):
I know you guys are gonna sit up here and say.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
Race it's not the same place.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I don't agree. Sure there have been some politics changes,
Sure there have been some personality changes, But I'm looking
at Connecticut in a completely different way. I mean, a
place is a place.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
It just is.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Sometimes it's people can be a little weird, but a
place is a place. And maybe I fell in love
with Connecticut instead of Connecticut's people, which, by the way,
doesn't mean that the Connecticut's people aren't good people. I think,

(08:46):
and I really do believe this. I believe that if
you were to just talk to people about anything.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Else other in politics, just.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Anything else, don't even talk of about you know, just
nothing about politics, just anything else. It's not like you
can't talk about anything else, talking about movies, talking about
things that were filmed. There, places to go, places to eat,

(09:19):
places to socialize. If you never had to know anything
about that person's politics, don't you think you'd get along
with them? Of course you would, of course but I
almost feel like some people today have to inject their
politics into conversations.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
I've got a naghbor.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
And the reason why I think about this is just
the other day, I was literally worried about something. So
the neighbor drive by the house we see all the time.
Her name is Brittany, I could say it because nobody
knows who she is. And she drove by the house
and she stopped, and we hadn't seen her in a while,
and we stopped. And she always comes by Christmas or

(10:02):
Halloween and she'll bring by big goods, and we hadn't
seen her in a while. As soon as we saw her,
was like, hey, Bret, how are you. She was like fine,
blah blah, blah blah blah. And I can't remember exactly
what sparked it, but she mentioned something that was happening in.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Her life, and she brought up Donald Trump, and I went, oh,
what happened?

Speaker 2 (10:25):
And then she went into this whole diatribe, and then
she went on to you know, say, you know blank,
Donald Trump or whatever it was. And then she stopped
and she looked at us, and she saw the American
flag in front of the house, and then looked at
me and she says, are you guys Trump supporters? And
I just looked at her and I said yeah, And
I said yeah, but I don't care about that. Tell

(10:47):
me about what's going on with you, and she goes no,
I just can't stand. It's like, no, no, no, no, that's
all right, we still love you. What's going on? And
she ended up talking to us, And then for a
week I kept myself, Damn, I wonder if she's never
gonna talk to us again because she found out that
we're Trump supporters. Now, I don't know why I injected

(11:08):
that into my head. I have no idea why, and
I feel horrible about it now. At the time, I
was a little cautious because I was under this impression. Damn,
here's we had a year never talking about politics. That
woman's been to my house. We've seen events happen in
our block. We've shared lamps. I mean, we joked. I mean,

(11:29):
she's funny. She she's even been invited to our house
to come watch a movie on our big giant projection
screen that we do outside the house. We have done
it in a while, but you know, really, she was
one of the first neighbors who walk up to my house.
One of the first people in the neighborhood to come
up and say, Hey, how are you? What's your name?
Our name is this, we're from here? Where are you from?

(11:50):
So we had that for a long year, and then
all of a sudden, Donald Trump comes up and I'm like, damn,
did I just lose a friend and a neighbor. We've
been to our house, her kids loved me. And then
we were walking on our usual walk and we our
walk passes right by the front of her house, and

(12:14):
so we walked and she comes out of the front
door with her leg in a brace, she's on crutches,
and in my head, I go, damn it, she's about
to ignore us or it's about to be awkward. And
my wife says to her, Hey, brit what happened, And
she's like, oh. She comes out and she starts talking. Literally,

(12:37):
nothing changed, nothing at all changed. She told us about
how she.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Hurt her leg.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
My wife, having studied nursing, starts telling her what she
should do with the legue all that the whole time.
After a while, I was like, can we finish this conversation?
Can we just be done with this? But I walked
away with this sigh kind of going, man, because I

(13:07):
really really liked this girl. We don't really talk to
her husband much because he's hardly ever around, he's always working.
But we really like Britain and we really love the kids,
and every time we see them we always have such
a great exchange. And I was nervous, Damn, I'm about

(13:28):
to lose somebody that I actually liked him respected. And
I didn't think about it once about what her politics were,
whether or not she was some radical leftist. I didn't
care even after she said the whole thing about Donald Trump.
It was weird because I felt like I was doing

(13:49):
something bad, like I had ruined it by saying, yeah,
I voted for Trump like that because I had such
regard for her. He's nice, she brings us baked goods.
I thought I was ruining it. I'm never gonna get
a cupcake again from this woman. And in sure enough,

(14:10):
she didn't care to which it get. Like I said afterwards,
I had to sire relief. And I remember saying to myself,
thinking to myself, thank God, And what was I thinking God?
For that Our year long relationship before that moment happened,
had built something built something so credible, so worthy, that

(14:37):
we weren't willing to risk it for politics. We weren't.
I was so happy about that. Now I know it's
been a while since I've been here, like when I
started three years ago, twenty twenty two, of all times. Wow,

(14:58):
I'm thinking of what I said when I first got here,
that it is not lost on all of us the
relationships that we can no longer have with our friends
and neighbors. We know we've lost friends, we do, but
now I'm starting to think about that in a different way.

(15:22):
It's not so much about what we did to lose
those friendships. It was what we were willing to give
up and the value of said friendship or relationship.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
When I was at the.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
What was the holiday store at the Avon Farms Hotel,
I can't remember who the woman was, But if you're listening, ma'am,
I know you remember this conversation. You leaned into me
when you said, she leaned in and she says, I
don't know how you do it, Reese, your wife is

(15:57):
a liberal, like, how do you do it? And I
wasn't offended by the question. I understood the question. She
wasn't asking anything like she wasn't being rude or mean.
She just couldn't understand that. And then she went on
to say about how with her neighbors, like she can't
even talk to them because of politics. And I understood

(16:21):
that immediately, because the first thing that I noticed about
my relationship with Roseanne was that we barely even knew
each other, but we had a mutual respect about each
other's position. We didn't see each other as evil or
mean spirit or she really liked me and I really

(16:45):
liked her. You could say that our loins were involved.
I doubt that she really liked me and I really
liked her, and I was able to sort of joke
with her and smile with her. And I did it
with this smile and opposing her, never insulting our diminishing
our demeani, you know, or dismissing her. I made her
feel like what she had to say was had value.

(17:09):
I didn't say stuff like I understand what you're saying,
but you're you're absolutely.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Insane for thinking. I never did that.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I saw value in her point of view and then
debated her point of view without diminishing her. And what
I loved about that that exchange or at least when
I finally realized that Brittany wasn't going to hold it
against me that I was a Trump supporter. What I
loved in that moment was one she didn't bring it up.

(17:39):
Two she had the same smile, She engaged us the
same way. Nothing had changed. And I knew that in
that moment that she felt about us the way we
felt about her. That politics aside, we cared about each other.
We respected each other enough to not let that be
the crux of who we are or our relationship. I
don't know if she's I ever experienced life like that.

(18:03):
I know that I have, but to be truthful, I mean,
and be honest with you. That's the part about coming
to Connecticut that I'm really excited for. Because I know
that it's a majority blue place. I know that there
are a lot of people who are on the left
or are Democrats. There is a part of me that
can't wait to get there. Why I'm so excited to

(18:24):
get there, it's to have a conversation in a place
where everybody disagrees with me, and I get to challenge
myself to have a disagreement with them and be respectful
and to maybe even gain more friends, broaden my scope,

(18:45):
expand my horizons. We're back rees on the radio, WTIC
News Talk ten eighty. Don't forget. We've got the pastor
Jacob Dell who's joining us today, is the pastor at
the First Congressional Church of Woodbear.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
We'll talk to him about his efforts to get Attorney
General William Tong to investigate the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford,
and of course the passing or the untimely passing of
Alvirah Sayid's daughter Irene, who took her own life because

(19:23):
of her engagement or involvement with the Metropolitan Church. We'll
talk about his efforts to get William Tong to pay
attention to that. You may know that William Tongue refused
to send a letter to senators State senators telling them
that they had no interest in looking into the story
because the story was brought forth by Project Veritas, because

(19:46):
brought Project Veritas did not assist William tong with an investigation,
a civil rights investigation into the Costcob School. Now, let
me break down what William Tong's office is saying in
that case. So, an independent journalist or journalist, whatsoever brings

(20:10):
you a story. Let's say it's WFSB, Let's say it's
anybody for.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
That matter, and they do an undercover video.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
To get this assistant principle to answer all of these
questions about his hiring practices. We get that information, we
publish it. They publish it, WFSB, They publish it, and
then William Tong says we're gonna have a civil rights
investigation and asks WFSB to give them information on how

(20:49):
they obtained or got to said subject. Now, why the
Project Veritas would never give that is simple. Project Veritas
knows that William Tong is an activist, He's an activist

(21:11):
attorney general. They also know that in no way does
William Tong wish to take set information from Project Veritas
to use it against the cost Cops school. It was
nothing more than recon because then they can find out

(21:33):
who the undercover operative is, who was speaking to the
vice principal, who got all the information using that and
then spreading that information.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
To anyone and everyone. Hey be on the lookout.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Project Veritas is using this person in this tactic and
this way because they can ask them all of these
questions they can and again they're asking a journalist to
in essence of up their tactics and the means of
which they got this undercover report done, its procedures, it's methodology,

(22:12):
and Project Veritas says, we are under no mandate to
give that to you.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
You have the information.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
If you'd like us to, we'll give you the entire
unedited video, because again that's what Project Veritas does. They
will give you the unedited video because the person in
question is the is the vice principal, and what he
has done. The focus of your civil rights investigation is

(22:42):
the subject. So to then say the person who supplied
you with the information that led to the civil rights investigation,
that you will now hold them accountable instead of the individual, which,
by the way, folks did William Tong ever hold Costcob responsible. No.

(23:05):
Reach out to them today, reach out to Rachel, his
head of communications, and see what she says about the investigation.
She'll tell you and I quote it's still under review
or it's an ongoing investigation, even though the vice principal
has since resigned, even though he's given up his license

(23:27):
for a year, even though the story is pretty much over,
They've got nothing to add and they won't because the
objective was to go after Project Veritas. Now Project Veritas
is saying, hey, we got another investigation in your state
where we can clearly see in the video a crime
was committed providing a chest binder to a minor.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
It's against the law.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
And you're suggesting that you're not going to do your
job because of who's reporting the crime. That makes no sense.
So we'll talk to Pastor Jacob Dell about that. All
of this.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Again shows you exactly how partisan.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
William Tongue's office is, how much of a political hack
he is, because he has no concern for Elvira Said
and her daughter none because, in his view, well, they
lined up with the wrong partisan group. Well, you know

(24:42):
they're bringing this report, you know, with a conservative outfit,
and I just can't help them. I just can't help them.
You know, had they sent it to CBS News and
they were yes, I would totally investigate it. But you
know what that Project Veritas, thee over there, they're concerned.
You know, they don't deserve any justice. We won't we

(25:06):
won't use this office to get justice for people who
might line up with a group that supports Donald Trump. Well,
this guy's screaming and hollering about equal justice and the
law and now everybody should be treated equally. Rubbish, complete

(25:26):
and utter rubbish. But that's where we are.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
So we'll read his letter. We'll talk to him about that.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I heard something interesting actually in an interview he did
the other day, and I want to ask him about that.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
About the Johnson Amendment. I think there may be some
there may be something wrong with.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Pastor Jacob's review of the Johnson Amendment, because I went
to go look it up. But I'll talk to him
about that in a bit. It applies to a separation
of church and state, which, by the way, folks can
please can we people? Can we stop using that there
was no such thing as separation of church and state

(26:15):
at all in the Constitution or anywhere for that matter
that matters legally. Okay, there's no amendment. There's nothing in
the constitution. If you are a person who is repeating that,
please stop, okay, just stop. I wish people would stop.
There was no separation of church and state. If that

(26:37):
were the case, Muslims would be would no longer be
allowed to go and pray while they were in the school.
Can you imagine a Muslim young man in high school
while he was in the high school, and he had
to go and face east or face towards Mecca and

(26:59):
back to the call the prayer, and the school told
him that there's a separation of church and state. He
couldn't do that. Do you understand what would happen there?
Does anybody do understand?

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Exactly, you know exactly what would happen. The Constitution would
protect his prayer inside the school. Imagine the same thing
inside of a courthouse and he couldn't get out of
the courtroom and he had to go pray. Do you
think the court would stop him from praying inside of it?
Absolutely not be unconstitutional to do that. Just go look

(27:38):
it up for you those of you who don't know,
please go read that. Just read the bill rights all
over again. Gosh, do I have to tell these things?
These people?

Speaker 5 (27:47):
I'm the dropout.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Gosh, it's kind of sad.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
Anyway.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yeah, and when we come back, we got headlines coming up.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Let me, Yeah, I do I really now, I don't
have I don't really time for that.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Real quick, I don't have time for that. Oh, I
know what I meant to tell you, folks. You gotta
stick around or if not, if you can't stick around,
be back at the beginning at a five o'clock hour.
I have got some wild news in Hollywood, news that
I didn't know was possible, but it is. It is.
I didn't know this, but it's like trivia that I

(28:24):
didn't even know. And it involves a nineteen ninety two film,
a very quiet, quiet film that people don't reference. I
love this film. I always love this film. Anytime it
comes on, which is rare, I stop and I watch it.
Let me give you a hint. I'll never forget. It's

(28:46):
nineteen ninety two. I'm watching the film, and the movie begins,
and this is very early in the dobe surround sound
era of film. In the beginning of the film, if
you were in one of these dobe surrounds sound theaters,
the movie begins with you looking at mountains and then
hearing a helicopter behind you, and then move through the

(29:09):
theater in the speakers, and then when the speaker the
sound of the helicopter reaches the front speakers, a helicopter
appears on the screen. That's the opening of the film.
I don't know if anyone here is it is savvy
enough for kind of a centophile enough to remember that scene.

(29:30):
This is how the movie begins. You see mountains and
then the sound of a helicopter coming from the back
of the screen on the back of the theater, following
all the way through all the speakers on the side
of the theater, and when they finally reach the front,
a helicopter appears onto the screen. That's how the movie begins.
I don't know if anybody's gonna remember that. Roland, you're

(29:52):
too young to remember this.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
What year were you one?

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Now?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I was ten? Yeah, you were ten in nineteen ninety two.
You may have seen this movie. You may have You
may have seen this movie. Tell me in the chat
in the in the almost say in the chat box,
or Roland, don't say it out loud or don't say
it off the air. I already know a movie. You
think you do? Yeah, I think I do.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
All right, tell you tell me in our private chat
so I want to see if you know it.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Let me say, there's provisions in Islam with dealing with
job school, et cetera, and prayer. Dave, you're one hundred
percent right, but remember if there is a separation of
church and state, right, that means that no religion should

(30:40):
be allowed inside schools or in courtrooms. There is no provision.
A provision would suggest that it is not equal under
the law, Sir. That would completely fly in the face
of that. That's what I'm trying to tell you. So
there is no separation of church and state with a
provision for Islam. We are equal under the law. But anyway,

(31:03):
I get the point though. All right, Uh, we'll take
a break. We'll come back, more news, more views. We'll
see if we get some phone calls it when we
return to three cent radio a w t i C
news Dock ten eighty. We're back at Trees the radio.
Let's get to Mike by Zion. Frank calls up every day.

Speaker 9 (31:17):
What's going on, Sir, rees I don't care what type
of information. Max Maxwell's singing like a canary. I don't
care what she tells the assistant attorney. You cannot lower
her sentence. You don't, just can't do it.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
You can't.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Well, first, right, you can't.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
They're talking about the the press is talking about a deal.
In all of this.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
You're not being you're not conflating the two.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Right.

Speaker 9 (31:45):
I don't think she should get anything.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Yeah, I know but this is.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Not Remember, this is not a notion that has been
brought up by the administration by anyone.

Speaker 9 (31:53):
Talk about if Trump was asked about a pardon today,
he said, well, I can't see it right now, but
that guy changes his mind more than.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
This is true. But yeah, you know, but hold on.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
See, this is the thing, and I've alreadys this is
It's always astonished me when it came to Donald Trump.
I've also actually I experienced this in my life is
back with several of my ex wives. People think that
if they ask Donald Trump a question and he answers
it that it was initiated by Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
He was asked, are you thinking about giving her a pardoner?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
He was just like, no, I hadn't even thought of that,
And then that becomes the cycle of the news. Donald
Trump says he hadn't thought about giving her a pardon,
so it's like, oh, he might give her a part
and I'm like, that wasn't even what he said. That's
not that that's invented as a story. He hadn't even
thought about it. He made it clear he hadn't thought
about it. And he knows that what's his name is

(32:44):
is me was a merch On is that his name
not Mrchon yea his meeting with her. I think he
had a second meeting with her today. No one knows
what they spoke about or what she's even offered. But
people want to inject something for a headline or for
a byline they're never gonna get.

Speaker 9 (33:01):
Doesn't she talk before?

Speaker 6 (33:02):
You know?

Speaker 9 (33:03):
She's gotta be careful because.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Turns out defense have never turns out I heard this today,
turns out that no federal agents have ever spoken to
her at all, which again you need like think about
it this way. You need somebody to flip, or you
need somebody to give some information that's gonna either give
them a deal or you can proffer them in some

(33:26):
sort of way. No one's ever talked to her about anything.
So this is the first time she's ever met with
the Feds. That's why her lawyers are allowed her to
do it. And I'm assuming her attorneys are looking for
a deal. Of course they are.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
What lawyer wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
But I understand where you're coming from and saying that,
look what she's responsible for, she deserves nothing. But see,
this is what I warned everybody about. You get ahead
of your skis on this. You get so desperate for
a list, you end up getting more than what you
bargain for, if not worse. Did you also hear what
Trump said about the former president of Harvard and Bill

(34:04):
Clinton or was that missed? Yeah he said, he said, yeah,
I know, but you know what he said. He goes,
you guys want a list, I'll give you a list.
Nobody reported that today because that's.

Speaker 9 (34:17):
Bill Clinton, from what I heard, wasn't having sex with
the girls. He was having sex with Maxwell. At least
I give him credit proving sex with a woman. Rose
Anne coming.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
On today, she'll be on it about four thirty.

Speaker 9 (34:32):
Okay, tell her this. Last week she says she wanted
to be a princess. She is a princess, Roseanne, you are,
but Roseanne, you're not the queen.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
So well, you know what she said. You know what
she said.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
She said that she doesn't want to be a queen
because the queen has responsibilities, right.

Speaker 9 (34:48):
But she can't be the queen.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
Golf, you can't.

Speaker 9 (34:51):
That's the problem.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
No, no, no, no, don't worry about her.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
She doesn't want to be the queen. My friend, thank.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
You, buddy.

Speaker 9 (34:58):
There's only one queen.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
We know that.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
I don't know who that is. Who's the one?

Speaker 9 (35:01):
Queen well and beautiful.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
I'll get out of here, all right, you're done by
knuckle ahead. I gotta take break. We'll be back more news,
more views. I'm reno. He going to the top? Oh,
we gotta go to the top. Okay, Well, Roland finally,
let me say this. Roland actually told me that he
does know the movie that I'm talking about. Nobody else
has been able to tell me which movie it is,
but Roland doesn't know the movie and talking about uh, okay,

(35:27):
and he doesn't. Okay, I understand why you were ticked off.
I wasn't ticked off about that. That was funny to me.
That was funny. I was a kid that crushed me.
Let's go to Jim and Wellington real quick, Hu Jim.

Speaker 10 (35:42):
Okay, I'll say it real quick.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
I'm curious as.

Speaker 11 (35:44):
To one of the auto pen and Joe Biden.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
And company didn't cover Brennan.

Speaker 12 (35:49):
Or call me or anybody else unless there's a statute
of limitations.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Oh no, no, no, my friend, I'll tell you why
he didn't cover those folks. You might notice in the
Biden administration. The only thing those guys did were write
letters to cover for Joe Biden in the twenty twenty campaign. Right,
They will remember the fifty one intelligence agents, but they
were not a part of his administration. They were out
there in the ether who were right there. If he

(36:14):
had given them a pardon, he would have that would
have been kind of showing his hand.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
It would have say, because every every would have been like, well.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
That's an interesting pardon to give everybody else he gave
a parton to made sense January six folks, doctor Fauci,
those those made sense. By the way, you notice he
didn't give the pardon to doctor Burke's scarf lady.

Speaker 13 (36:37):
Yeah, well yeah, actually not to bring it up, well,
he gave a parton over four thousand people.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
That's right, that.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Ship, that's right.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
So but no, no, now, shift, that's because of his
January sixth association. But I think that that came from
other people, though.

Speaker 10 (36:57):
I hear you.

Speaker 5 (36:58):
I don't think, and I truly do bel leave this.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
No one from the Obama administration, like those guys like
Clapper and Brennan, he would have never given them a
pardon because that would have shown his hand, because that
would immediately raised eyebrows.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
What do they need it for. They're not even part
of the administration.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
Oh, man, I don't know.

Speaker 13 (37:15):
He gave a partner so many, so many people of
questionable character.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Oh, I get what you're saying.

Speaker 7 (37:20):
But I get what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
But gotta roll, gotta roll, Jim. Let's get to the
top of the news, Top of the Hour News with
Dave Megher in the w TIC news Room.

Speaker 6 (37:32):
The airing of gravances.

Speaker 14 (37:35):
I got a lot of problems with your paper.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
No, you're gonna hear about it.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
That's right, you're gonna hear about it.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
If you've got a grievance, get on the phone to
eight sex zero five two two w T I C
eight and zero five two two.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
Nine eight four two.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
You can opine about anything you want, like I said,
from traffic jams to traffic cones. If you got something
to beef about, you can beef about it. Old before
we get into the headlines, I'm gonna read this. This
is actually you know again, I've got to tell people like,
why do you show up? It never makes sense to me,
So let me just read it in the chat room.

(38:11):
Reece your constant excuses for Donald Trump's statements and behavior
are getting kind of stale. Then leave something to Sorry,
something is clearly going on with Epstein. He can't name them.
Trump is squirming. Okay, Now he's reaching back to someone

(38:33):
who has been out of the presidency for almost ten
years to distract from his potential transgressions, not his factual transgressions.
Potential Trump's envious of President Obama is palpable. Yeah, okay,
that's what it is. Let me explain to you about this,

(38:53):
because you notice there's no even if. And this is
the most important part about all of this. Bob Jay's
concern here is about who did the dirty deed because
he needs it to be Trump, because he cares about

(39:14):
who he could point the finger at. He said, he's
reaching back to a guy who hasn't been president over
ten years in talking about Bill Clinton, because Bill Clinton
is irrelevant in the case of child abuse. Because Bob

(39:35):
Jay doesn't care about the abuse of children. He only
cares about who's accused of it. That's why he can
dismiss Donald Trump saying you need to check out Bill Clinton.
He's been to the island, but they don't care about that. Now,
I will say this before I get to headlines. If

(39:56):
you really want to understand the Democrat Party, look to
black liberal women. They are the voice box of white
liberals about it. They are they are whatever it is
that black liberal women are saying because they love putting
them out in the forefront. And you notice they never
tell them be quiet. Jasmine Crockett, anyone, Donald Brazil, anyone.

(40:21):
Black liberal women are the voice box of the Liberal Party.
Sann and Jamil Hill had to be chastised by Scott
Jennings on CNN last night. Why because she believes that
the abuse of young girls is beautiful because it affects

(40:42):
Donald Trump.

Speaker 15 (40:43):
I'm just very satisfied by seeing him make such a
huge n I have.

Speaker 16 (40:48):
To say, you're used to the word delicious to start
your comments, and then you're saying that you're very satisfied.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
But you know, we are talking about a situation.

Speaker 16 (40:55):
Here where young women were abused. This is a tragic case.
Maxwell's in jail because she helped traffic to women. This
is a very very tragic case. I see Democrats and
people on the left taking great political Stop.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Now Scott Jennings is about to say he sees democrat
taking taking great political pride in making these statements. They
almost seem gleeful instead of acknowledging what Scott Jennings is saying.
Listen to Jamille Hill and what she says. Listen to
her rationale as to why she thinks it's delicious.

Speaker 16 (41:32):
Had some people on the left taking great political delight
in this because they don't care one bit about the victims.
They only started caring this about five minutes ago.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
They only started they did the same thing, They did
the same thing.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Be better than them?

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Stupid? What do you mean they did the same thing?
What are you four?

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Be better than them?

Speaker 16 (41:55):
Five minutes ago when it was a cudgel against Trump.
So this kind of language where we just sort of
laugh about the situation but forget the underlying issue the
victims here.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
To me, it's what's so, what's your solution to it?
My solution is pay attention to the victims. But again,
you don't care about them. So please spare me your outrage,
Please spare me this nonsense about race. It's getting stale
at your kind your friend. You've done Trump, really, really,

(42:30):
I've been talking about this for two weeks. When you
keep telling people that I'm afraid to talk about it.

Speaker 5 (42:36):
In fact, it's almost dominated the show.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Every person who's called about it, and everybody's had a
conversation about it.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
All seems to be all.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
I ever talked about. Who's fearful? You haven't picked up
the phone yet, Bob jay eights like zero five two
two w T I C eight to zero five two
two ninety four to two. What are you chicken? You
said the other day. Nobody's afraid of me. You ain't
picked up the phone.

Speaker 5 (43:02):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (43:05):
You seem to be on the line being a keyboard warrior.
Let's hear your voice. Let's get into a debate. Let's
go into a Let's get a couple of rounds in
here and tell us how you have verifiable facts in
the matter. Don't worry, we won't hold our breath. We

(43:27):
know there's no intention for you to get in here.
You just you keep on plucking at the keyboard. There, homie,
we believe you.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Now, let's get to some headlines.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
A dance teacher in South Carolina is facing charges after
an investigation that's stemmed from a dance routine that parents
believed was inappropriate, and the story gets worse from there.
Andrew and Mazell forty five, is accused of giving children alcohol,
having vulgar conversations with them, and showing students actually explicit
photos of herself, and even touching students inappropriate inappropriately during

(44:04):
dance practice. An investigations started in March when the Hanahan
Police responded to a report of an argument at a
dance school. An incident report said the fight centered on
a dance routine that some parents said conflicted with their morals.
The dance instructor, forty five year old Andrew and Mizell,
reportedly had set time aside to speak.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
With one concerned parent about the routine.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
However, several other parents unexpectedly showed up to discuss the dance,
and Mazelle reportedly left in a panic. When officers arrived
at her studio, Misel was gone, but her fiance and
sister were there, as well as multiple parents. Officers spoke
with the parents and children who raised concerned about Mizelle's
inappropriate conduct. Some children said that Mozell had given them

(44:50):
alcohol and was having vulgar conversations with them. Also, for
the residents of wet West Hartford, they should be where
of a dog or beware of dogs and it's become
a very literal warning for many. The town said that
bite numbers dog bite numbers have been very high since

(45:12):
twenty twenty three, so officials are considering a potential ordinance
that will require dog owners to always keep their pets
on a leash in public places. That's not already a thing.
West Hartford Animal Control said that there had been sixty
four reported incidents of dogs biting people or other dogs
since twenty twenty three. Every dog is required to be

(45:36):
leashed in an athletic field or park. The current ordinance
in parks and athletic field in West Harford is a
seventy nine dollars five Now, look, I don't believe in
fines and all that other good stuff, but when it
comes to like if you've got a pit bull, if
you've got a dog that is not known to be friendly,
you know, like a chihuahua, I don't care to anybody

(45:57):
says they're small, but those things have a Napoleon complex.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
Those things will be on a leash.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
I didn't see all you people walking around with them
in your arms and.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
Putting them down and walking around.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
There's a kid, violent, violent, I tell you all of
them anyway, And As I said earlier, slightly more people
are leaving Connecticut than moving in. According to data release
by u Haul u haul, every year they track one
way trips both in and out of all the fifty states.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
In twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Four, Connecticut was pretty far down on the list for
growth at forty one out of fifty states, and we
actually moved up one spot from the previous year. According
to u Haul, people leaving the state made up almost
fifty two percent of one way traffic, and the other
forty eight percent came here from somewhere else. According to

(46:50):
South Carolina, I'm sorry. South Carolina had the most growth
of any state, moving up its number to number four
in the spot in from twenty twenty three, followed by Texas,
North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. We're also, oh so we
also know where we're not going our neighbors are, like
Massachusetts came in number forty nine. And also, nobody's moving

(47:13):
to California, as you would expect, nobody's going there.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
And last, but not least, let's get into.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Our stupidest thing today.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
Yes, you do.

Speaker 17 (47:28):
You could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
A former IDF officer as well as a professor of
Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University was.

Speaker 5 (47:49):
On Piers Morgan.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
And he was talking about Israel's destruction of Gaza. And again,
this guy is supposed to be a professor of holocaust
and genocide studies at Brown. I would say, somebody needs
to fire this guy because he said this.

Speaker 18 (48:10):
The statistics are that between two and five percent of
the population have been killed, sixty to seventy percent of
them civilians. A third of those killed are children. Over
a thousand of those killed are children below the age
of one. That's a ratio that has not existed in

(48:31):
the twenty first century. And indeed, you have to go
back to World War Two for these figures. Some of
the destruction in cities in Gaza is greater than the
destruction of Hiroshima in nuclear weapons.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Yes, folks, that's what he said. Some of the destruction
in Gaza is far worse than the atomic bomb in
her Shima.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
I get the hyperbolic sense of trying to deal with
what's going on between Israel and Gaza. But for look again,
free speech notwithstanding, I got notnheing, but just the absolute
outrageousness of that statement. That that's how bad it is.

(49:24):
It's just absolutely it's unheard of. Let's go to the phones,
James Is and windsor how are you, sir?

Speaker 12 (49:31):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (49:31):
Hey, my may I reach my brother from another mother?

Speaker 2 (49:35):
I'm pretty good, sir. What's up?

Speaker 12 (49:37):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (49:38):
I just got it opened up the pole?

Speaker 6 (49:40):
Right?

Speaker 11 (49:41):
What is the basic conversation that you had today?

Speaker 7 (49:43):
Because I'm not in my car driving today.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Well, we're so far we have been talking about, you know,
my mind soon to be moved to the to the
Nutmeg state. That's one. And also, you know, Frank and
Woodbridge called up to talk about this story that we
made heard at the top of the hour that Donald
Trump is allegedly considering a pardon or some sort of

(50:05):
commutation for Gallaine Maxwell, which is not what he said.
He was asked if that was what was considered, and
he said no, he hadn't even thought about it. But
now that's being.

Speaker 11 (50:17):
Well, well, you know, the left is always gonna twist
his words always. I would get now here you go.
You got a guy that got China and Japan to
do a.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Half a trillion dollar trade deal.

Speaker 11 (50:35):
Yeah, yeah, but but everybody want to know about the
dead pimp. I don't get that.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
I mean, come on, no, this is no no, you
you have to get it. You have to think about
this in the sake of salacious nonsense that has no value.
It is. It's TMZ fodder, which again only whets the

(51:03):
appetite of those who think, or who have been led
to believe it's going to lead to the downfall of
Donald Trump because everything has been tried. And when you
when you whiff every at every swing, right, when every
time something is thrown at this guy it's a swing.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
And a miss.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
You need something, You're desperate for something. Just a couple
of months ago, it was everything else under the sun.
Now they think they really got him with this, and
it's gonna fall flat.

Speaker 11 (51:34):
Would I wouldn't. I wouldn't be surprised if this Matthews person,
they try to tell her, if you say this and you.

Speaker 7 (51:42):
Say that we get you out of jail, or you
gotta do is implement Trump?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Well you know what that's that's you know, that's the thing.
Because this meeting with Gallaine Maxwell has already been dubbed
uh an attorney going in and telling Glaine Maxwell tell
Donald Trump what he wants to hear, it's already turned
into that. So yeah, you know again, it's damn if
you do, damn if you don't.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
Uh, it's released the files.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
And if the files don't release what they want, then
it's you didn't release all of them. So the objective
here and it and it's true. I don't care anybody
says it's a fact. We know this. When people who
support Donald Trump are asked, is this uh a hill
to die on? They overwhelmingly say no. And the fact

(52:31):
that this is the worst part, James, here's the worst part. Yeah,
they believe that because the news media is covering it,
it is the issue when it isn't.

Speaker 11 (52:44):
Yeah, believe Let me let me give you a scenario.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
You know how.

Speaker 11 (52:47):
You know how when you cook spaghetti and you want
to make sure spikee. You hold up a plate so
you throw it at the plate and if it sticks,
it's ready.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
That's right.

Speaker 11 (52:57):
So so now they ran Now.

Speaker 7 (53:00):
They're using PCs.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I think you're right.

Speaker 11 (53:06):
I mean, I mean they you know, I wouldn't be
surprised that they stunted with knives and porks.

Speaker 6 (53:11):
Now they're using straw.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Yeah, it's again, but like I said that, what they
saw was and this is this is how crazy this is.
What did they use as the barometer, the news media.
What did they use as a barometer to say that
this was a riff? They used Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro,
Tim whatever, Tim Cook, not Tim Cook, Tim whatever his

(53:35):
name is. I can't remember Tim's last name. Now somebody know.
But one of all of these influencers, like Joe Rogan,
all of them who they blamed.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
For Donald Trump's win.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
By the way, they say that these guys are the
ones that caused Donald Trump to win. So now that
these guys are now suspicious of the administration, the news
now cares about those opinions. They were willing to dismiss
Joe Rogan, they were willing to dismiss Charlie Kirk and
Ben Shappier. All these guys are radical right wing extremists.
Now that they do, oh my god, they're they're going

(54:06):
up against Trump.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
They're the most important voices ever.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Now they're being used that they're being used as the
template for which people should believe the news.

Speaker 11 (54:16):
Also, the way I see it is Donald Trump is
the crown and all those people that supported him are bricks. Yeah,
if you removed the bricks, the crown will fall.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Well, then I will put it to you this way.
I don't believe any of them play any role. I
think that every one of them used Donald Trump because
at the time it was profitable for them and they
all made millions. And then now he's in office, what
do you have to sell? Well, you have to sell discord.
That's the way this works. It's that simple.

Speaker 11 (54:48):
Yeah, yeah, Well, what happened basically is that the people
that supported them, like, like you said, I'm profited the best.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Yep, exactly exactly, because now they all signed multimillion dollar
yet deals, all of them did.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 11 (55:04):
And and then Donald Trump made a comment this morning
is that young people are going up to him saying
I'm tired of winning.

Speaker 7 (55:11):
And that's funny.

Speaker 11 (55:13):
That was funny. Can you be tired of winning?

Speaker 5 (55:17):
I could be tired of winning. I'll tell you, I
get tired of it all the time.

Speaker 19 (55:21):
Here.

Speaker 11 (55:22):
No, no, no, I appreciate it with you, man. That's
that's why I'm glad you're on X hour, man, because
I used to drive and listen to you in the radio,
but I didn't drive today, So that's why I'm calling
you up.

Speaker 7 (55:32):
On my cell phone.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 11 (55:35):
I took today off.

Speaker 5 (55:36):
I appreciate you. James, thank you, buddy.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
You got it.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
Yeah, so the American the Americans know b s when
they hear it.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
No, they don't, Donald, Come on, Donald, they don't know
bs when they hear it. Stop it. How many hoaxes
can you know? You know what, I'll put you on
the spot. How manyxes? And be honest, just put up
a list right here. I'll read them and I will
give you props for them. How many of the news

(56:08):
media's hoaxes did you fall for in the last ten years?

Speaker 5 (56:12):
How many?

Speaker 2 (56:15):
How many of those things that you believed it turned
out to be absolutely false? And you know you did that.
You may not openly admit it today. It may even
be difficult for you do but you can tell me.
We'll keep it between us. You know you fell for
a bunch of hoaxes. They told you beyond the shadow

(56:38):
of a doubt. How many times were the walls closing
in on Donald Trump?

Speaker 20 (56:42):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (56:44):
How many people told them that in the first the
walls are closing, It's over.

Speaker 5 (56:51):
It's just a rap. Get used to it, Reese.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Do you know why every time they swing at Trump,
they miss They assume that he's as scummy as they are. Wow,
and they don't understand people and don't have dirt on Yeah,
I'm look, there's a thing that happens when you become
extremely focused on an outcome. That's think about liberalism in

(57:21):
that sense as well. When you are focused on the outcome,
you miss the job. Right, That's that's liberalism one oh one.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
You look at a guy like mom Donnie, and you say,
we're gonna make housing affordable for everyone. When you ask
him the details, he can give you nothing. He can't
give you a step by step program. He told you
we're gonna get put up a government run grocery store
in the five boroughs. How well it only costs six
hundred and sixty million dollars. We can afford that. Please

(57:55):
explain the process. They don't care. It's the end result
they want, so think about that. The news media, they
want to get Trump. The only thing they're focusing on
is getting him. They don't want to do the work,
They want the end result. If they don't get what
the end result is, they run away mad looking for
the next one. That's why, it's why they always fail.

(58:17):
Let's take um break. We'll be back more news, more
views when we return. It's Reesa on the radio on
w T I see newstock Tannadi.

Speaker 14 (58:26):

Speaker 4 (58:32):
You're gonna hear about it.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
Don't forget in a little bit.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
We're of course gonna have Roseanne on the radio joining
us today for Ladies Night. And also we've got Pastor
Jacob Dell who's on the program. He's the pastor at
the First Congressional Church of Woodbury. He'll be joining us
on the phone to talk about his efforts to get
a G. William Tong to act on his letter that

(58:58):
he sent to we'll read that letter later on. We've
also got some Hollywood news coming up as well. And
what else do I have? I can't think of anything else.
I know we have some other stuff, but it's oh yeah, yea.
We have to talk about this this new parenting thing
that Roseanne and I were going to talk about that

(59:20):
as well. Also there was another piece. Oh, I got
to talk about Andy Basheer today. People are sleeping on
this guy, Andy Basheer of Kentucky. I gotta talk about
him today because it's Friday, and I haven't been able
to get into him like all week, and I keep
promising they're going to talk about him, because everybody's talking
about Joshapiro, Everyone's talking about Kamala Harris or what's this

(59:46):
other guy's name, Gavin Newsome running in twenty twenty eight.
This guy is a dark horse, Andy Basher. So I
want to talk about that in a little bit. In fact,
I'm gonna play that with Roseanne. I want to get
her take from his speech to a group of people
talking about language, but the language of the Democrat party
and why it's hurt them, which is interesting because Andy

(01:00:08):
Bsheer is a Democrat, but he is pushing back on
the political correctness of his party in this speech. So
I want to play that in a little bit, so
we'll we'll get into all of that and much much more.
So I wanted to say this. This is the conversation

(01:00:28):
that Pastor Dell was having with another host on another network,
and they were talking about the Johnson Amendment. And if
you're not familiar with it, let me refresh your memory.
So the Johnson Amendment is a provision in the US

(01:00:50):
tax Code enacted in nineteen fifty four that prohibits tax
exempt organizations, such as churches and charities, from engaging in
political campaign activities. Specifically, it bars these organizations from endorsing
or opposing political candidates or participating in partisan politic activities

(01:01:15):
while maintaining their five oh one C three tax exempt status.
Named after then Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, who proposed the amendment,
it aims to prevent nonprofit organizations from using tax exempt
funds to influence elections. The amendment states that five oh

(01:01:35):
one C three organizations may not participate in, or intervene in,
including the publishing or distribution of statements, any political campaign
on behalf or in opposition to, any candidate for public office.
Violations can result in the loss of tax exempt status

(01:01:58):
or penalties from the IRS. Now, when I was growing up,
I always knew about this. I never knew what it
was called when I was a kid, but I knew
this growing up. I remember specifically going to a church
and a priest catching himself when talking about politics from

(01:02:26):
the poolpit, and he immediately said, I don't want to
go there. I shouldn't, It's not allowed. And I remember
asking if I was an a choir. I remember asking afterwards.
What happened?

Speaker 5 (01:02:38):
Why did he stop mid sentence?

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
And that's when I learned it's like, if you are
a church, you're not supposed to do that. Now that
being said, folks, how many times in your life have
you seen people from the poolpit.

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
Talking politics? Ra Warnock, the senator from Georgia?

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Does he not? He's a senator from Georgia. He still
preaches at a church, still does You can find him
right now?

Speaker 5 (01:03:15):
I think I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Go look it up. It's everywhere. He films this talking
about politics, talking about political candidates, all over the place.
Never once have that five oh one C three has
been threatened by the IRS. They are almost und but
the law still there. The law is still there. It's
never been overturned. Now this this is interesting. I learned

(01:03:42):
this today. Do you know the Trump administration fought tooth
and nail to overturn the Johnson Amendment. I didn't know that,
But now I understand why. Because at first, when I
went I went, WHOA, why would he do that? But
I understood what as I started to look up more
and more, and the truth is is because the IRS

(01:04:09):
was not going after the church in certain communities. I
don't want to say which ones, but you know which ones.
You know which ones. Certain churches were not only holding
political speeches, they were hosting political candidates, weren't they. How

(01:04:31):
many times did you see Hillary Clinton?

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Probably one of our most famous speeches was at the church.
I don't feel no ways tired. Remember that as a church.
Damn sure wasn't at some fundraiser. You know, Dan Weller
was at the church. They're not supposed to be able
to do that, but IRS has always looked the other way.

(01:04:59):
So the Trump administration foot long and hard to actually
overturn that. They haven't been able to, which I find
interesting why they don't, why it hasn't been But if
you want to, I want to hear from you. Should
they should they overturn the Johnson Amendment? I mean, all
things considered, it's not being enforced, Like what's it there
for if they're not going to enforce it. But I

(01:05:21):
know what some other people might say, it was like,
well just there, not enforce it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
It doesn't mean that they should. They should enforce it.
I agree. I agree that if it's there, it should
be enforced.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
It's a law. And if you don't want the law,
you should have it overturk. But if it isn't, you
should be punished for it if you do it, because
I don't think any church should do it if it is,
if it's against the law. So anyway, that's all I'm saying.
Let's go to the phones. Eighteen zero five two two
WT I see, let's go. Lewis is in West Hartford.
How are you, Lewis Hi?

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
What can I do for you today?

Speaker 6 (01:05:53):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:05:53):
I would like to talk about the Johnson Amendment?

Speaker 5 (01:05:56):
Oh okay, great, what do you got?

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yep?

Speaker 7 (01:06:00):
What I got is okay.

Speaker 21 (01:06:01):
So who says you can't Who says you can't speak
politics in church?

Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
The government?

Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
Oh that's nice. Do it anyway?

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Do it anyway.

Speaker 21 (01:06:12):
If they go after you, they go after you. I mean,
Christians have been persecuted a lot worse in history, so
you know they're.

Speaker 7 (01:06:18):
Gonna take a little bit of work.

Speaker 22 (01:06:19):
We might lose our tactics as that.

Speaker 11 (01:06:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
That's an interesting point, but you do know, I mean,
don't tell me that you I mean, I know you have.
You've clearly witnessed in the church political speech and even
endorsements of particular of people In fact, look, I know
a black church in New York where there's a guy
who's actually running for mayor of New York. Nobody knows

(01:06:43):
who he is because I think he's pulling at less
than one percent. But he runs a church out of Harlem,
and he is very critical of politicians and endorses Donald
Trump every day on the on his from his bullpit.

Speaker 21 (01:07:00):
So that's the other thing too, is that you don't
want to make it about politics first and such that
politics becomes the new religion, like ultimately we know who's
really pulling the strings and all this.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
Great point, great point, but I mean, so let me
let me ask you what would you rather have. Would
you rather have the Johnson Amendment and have the law followed,
or would you say get rid of it if it's
not being unformable?

Speaker 21 (01:07:21):
It's against No, it's against the law. I mean, Congress
Sell passed no law respecting the establishment of religion.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
Indeed, it's like, oh, religion.

Speaker 7 (01:07:28):
Can't can't do political speech. Who said we have a
first amendment?

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
So the johnt you believe that the Johnson Amendment is unconstitutional?

Speaker 7 (01:07:38):
Sounds like it?

Speaker 21 (01:07:39):
Yeah, I mean, and it's Lyndon B. Johnson this is.
This is the same guy who gave us welfare and
the society.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Okay, you know what. Look again, that's the reason why
I'm asking is because I'm under the impression that and
I said, the only reason why I say is say, look,
it's clearly a practice that goes on inside the church.
No one's ever been held accountable for the irs. Hasn't
been knocking on anybody's door, even though most of these
churches videotape themselves doing it. And no, there's never any

(01:08:09):
repercussions for it. But it makes sense in my view
just get rid of it if it's not being enforced.
And as you just pointed out, no one should be
stopping the First Amendment freedoms of any establishment, being church
or otherwise.

Speaker 7 (01:08:25):
Exactly exactly. But there's a there's a verse.

Speaker 21 (01:08:27):
I'm not sure where it is an idea, but it
basically says you are not to regard as a conspiracy
all the things that people call it conspiracy, because God
should be your cause of trembling. So, you know, politics
is down here. That's like muggle stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
You know, it's a great point. I appreciate you, Thank
you Lewis, and thank you for calling thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
You got it there. Let's go to Nancy and Avon.
Hello Nancy.

Speaker 12 (01:08:51):
With you today?

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
Great?

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
What's going on?

Speaker 12 (01:08:55):
Because I'm the one who talked to you at the
Avon Old Firms in about being of a different party.

Speaker 14 (01:09:02):
Than your wife.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Nancy, I didn't expect you to call.

Speaker 23 (01:09:06):
I didn't.

Speaker 12 (01:09:08):
Do as you started talking about it. I said, that's me.
I just know it means me funny.

Speaker 5 (01:09:15):
Well, Nancy, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
I'm surprised that you went out yourself, but okay, so
I have no.

Speaker 12 (01:09:23):
Problem out in myself. And your wife was sitting I
don't think you were marriage, but she was sitting there,
and I asked you the question because I just was
so surprised. I admire the fact that you guys can
be in the same household because I just do it.
There are a lot of people these days who couldn't
do that, and I think it's a shame. It's a shame.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
Have you got control since that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Since that encounter between yourself and me and I? Have
you have you tried to engage in conversation and other
are you? Are you just sort of having the same
stance by trying to keep politics.

Speaker 12 (01:09:58):
I tried, I try, I try all time, But you
just I do. But I just know that there are
certain people.

Speaker 4 (01:10:03):
Act.

Speaker 12 (01:10:04):
I had this conversation last night with somebody and we
had a great conversation. And then I have another friend
who if you even mentioned Trump's name, she absolutely goes bliptic.
So we just can't. We can't. I can't even mention
his name.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Wow, it doesn't involve I know it must be frustrating
because you want to be able to engage, but to
know that there are limits to your conversation almost feels
like it's kind of be frustrating, right.

Speaker 12 (01:10:32):
It's very frustrating because I feel as though for four
years when Biden was in office, I didn't treat people
who voted for him that way. I just, you know,
but I just feel as though, well, honestly, I think
it's the Trump's arrangement syndrome. It's people who are really
the people who are really into hating every single thing
he says or does are the ones that you can't

(01:10:53):
really talk about it with. And it's a shame.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Well, think about it this way. Think about it this way, Nancy.
From the moment that you you met me and you
you met my wife, who was there today she's a
full on Trumper today.

Speaker 7 (01:11:06):
Huh your wife?

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
Yeah, yeah, she's full on. She's full on Trump.

Speaker 12 (01:11:11):
Now, really, how did that happen?

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
He got shot at the assassination attempt to open her eyes,
and she's been full boat. She's wearing Maggie shirts and everything.
We gotta take a break. Okay, she's full of But Nancy,
thank you for calling. I appreciate you.

The airing of Cravances.

Speaker 14 (01:14:40):

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
Come now you're gonna hear about it, and I hear
about it.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
We're back as reach out of Radio News Talk ten
to eighty w T.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
I see white Mic is on the line, sir, are
you gonna go see Fantastic four. Let's get that out
of a way real quick today.

Speaker 7 (01:14:57):
Oh hell no, out. I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Okay, I'm sorry, I just wanted to know. I am
I'm going to go see it. I just wanted to
ask you, anyway, what'd you call about?

Speaker 7 (01:15:10):
That's such a creepy weirdo. How come he's got this
pregnant chick reb in his face and all.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
The time I saw that, it was just so weird.
I saw those videos just like, I don't even know
what to make of that. But anyway, what did you
want to call about? I didn't want to take you
off track.

Speaker 7 (01:15:23):
I'm gonna keep it light here. First of all, I've
become kind of a fan of cheap Chinese audio gear
because the Chinese are really doing some cool stuff and
some very niche markets. Okay, the Chinese have really left
into the innier monitor market.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Yes, which, and there's a company.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
I've heard some things about that, but go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:15:45):
What's the name of the company.

Speaker 7 (01:15:47):
There's a company called KZ. It stands for Kindness Zone.
There are a couple of ex engineers from the Denin
company who are making inner monitors, and they're making some
really good stuff for really low prices, Like I have
a pair that are like twenty five bucks or something.
Oh wow, I never really use them because they're wired
to have to use them.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
A little dack and.

Speaker 7 (01:16:07):
It's a paint in the butt. So this company makes
ear hooks that convert these wired iems into Bluetooth i ems.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
And you you could do that.

Speaker 7 (01:16:20):
Yeah, they just unplug from the cable and they plug
into these little ear hooks that are Bluetooth receivers combined
with an amplifier and a dack. Oh that's wild and buddy,
and they would cheat like the earbuds. The items are
like twenty five bucks and I think I've paid like
twenty five bucks on Ali Express for the hooks, so
I'm like, what fifty bucks in Yeah, these things that amazing, dude.

(01:16:43):
And and the nice thing about them is, you know,
American companies really nurse volume output on your portable audio gear, right,
you know, they all get so loud. The Chinese don't
give a crap these things get loud.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
Oh you know what, they don't give a crap about
it because they know that that's listen. That is sincerely
an American thing to be able to listen to their
music in this sort of like to feel like you're
in the middle of a studio session. Like they know
that that's uniquely American, you know, even though other countries,

(01:17:19):
you know, they you know, they do their whole thing.
But our thing is, you know, like hip hop is really,
you know, really really designed for the sound of bass.
Rock music is like you know, the stereo of a
lead guitar, even drummers for that matter. Like we're really
obsessed with the quality of sound in America.

Speaker 7 (01:17:39):
If anybody out there wants to upgrade your personal gear,
look at a company called KZ. The ear hooks I
have are called the a Z zero nine pros or
super Cheap. But anyway, I remember last week you said
you'd bought super Grock and you were playing with the AI.

Speaker 5 (01:17:56):
I didn't buy super Grock, but I've been playing.

Speaker 28 (01:17:58):
With groc Okay, So I popped thirty bucks for a
month of Supergrock and it comes with new companion AI,
which is a cute little like anime.

Speaker 7 (01:18:10):
Why thu girl and a goth dress?

Speaker 5 (01:18:12):

he sent to a g William Tong. Will talk to
him about those and about his efforts to ensure that
William Tong answers his letters and starts an investigation into

(01:19:27):
the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford. Anyway, with that, and
of course I'm gonna show don't forget I really really
want to share this with you. In the next hour.
In Hollywood News. Roland has already figured out the movie.
This movie, I can't even tell you who stars in it. It

(01:19:50):
sucks because I can't tell you. It's too much of
a giveaway. So I will say this, the person who
is in this movie, I should make them wait. Okay,
I'll make them.

Speaker 25 (01:20:01):
They just make them wait to say, just say don't
don't give it too much away, because then they're gonna
be able to figure out.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
It's too easy to figure out. Is it too easy
to figure out? Yeah, it's too easy. How did you
figure it out? Did you figure it out because of
the mountain thing?

Speaker 6 (01:20:14):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
Is that was that the giveaway? Damn?

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
Damn?

Speaker 5 (01:20:18):
I thought it would have.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Been the helicopter part. Did you even know that about
the helicopter part?

Speaker 7 (01:20:23):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Okay, that's it. See if you watched it at home,
if you didn't watch it in the theaters, you wouldn't
have known that.

Speaker 5 (01:20:29):
But that was the first thing that I noticed.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
Now, I went to the movies to go see this
film on purpose, and when I was sitting in the theater,
there were no seats to be had tried to sit
in the back, so I actually witnessed the surround sound
of the helicopter noise going through the speakers, and I went, oh,
that's weird. And then when the speakers in the front,

(01:20:53):
you know, they start lighting up. All of a sudden,
the helicopter comes on the screen and I go, oh,
that was cool. But I notice anything else because I
was enamored with the film. So when we get back
in about an hour, we will talk about some Hollywood
news with this nineteen ninety two film that is going
to surprise you. There's some trivia based on this that
I didn't know. We'll talk about that. Now, let's get

(01:21:15):
to whether in Traffic with Jason Catarina and Tom O'Hanlon,
who's in for Mark Christopher.

Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
The airing of Gravances.

Speaker 14 (01:21:23):

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Now you're gonna hear about it, and I hear about it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Alright, it folks, all right, it is time for our guest,
and back on the program is none other than Pastor
Jacob Dell on the program. What's up?

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
Sorry, how are you?

Speaker 13 (01:21:44):
I'm doing well.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
I'm doing fantastic as well. So let's get to this
thing here. Because you have sent letters to the Attorney General,
which is about investigating the Metropolitan Church.

Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
Is what the heck is the name of the church again,
why do I.

Speaker 22 (01:22:09):
Forget the name of this Metropolitan Community church?

Speaker 5 (01:22:12):
I think, yes, the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford. And
of course I was at a Reverend Aaron Miller.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
And of course their involvement in the Project Veritas expose,
which of course caught them on camera talking about getting
a chest binder to a minor. Also whether or not
they are culpable or have any involvement in the suicide
of Irene said her mother elvirus Aid is accusing him

(01:22:42):
of that, and there has been no.

Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
Investigation by Attorney General William Tong.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
His letter in response to you, to state senators and
to you is that they refuse to investigate this because
of the involvement of Project Veritas. Give us a little
bit of a breakdown of what your response to this
is in what you write in this new letter to
him that is going to be your new action with

(01:23:10):
involving the Attorney General.

Speaker 13 (01:23:13):
Well, my response was basically in the Senators Martin and
berthell who sent the same thing, was that the seriousness
of the allegations is that it's warrant warn't an investigation
on the face of it, but also that the allegation
has been corroborated by the mother at the Federal Trade
Commission at testimony that she gave there in Washington, d C.

(01:23:34):
So you know, the General can't really say that he's
discounting Project Veritas as a source and that's the end
of it, because the source is the mother and she's
on record at the federal level in Washington giving testimony
to the Trade Commission. So you know there's an independent
source here. Regardless of what he thinks of Project Veritas,
there's an independent source here saying the same thing, making

(01:23:56):
some pretty damning allegations that need to be investigated.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Now, I want to address the end of your letter
here because I talked a little bit about this in
the show. Your letter, in essence is telling the reason
why the Attorney General needs to be involved in this,
and in fact, i'll quote it here, says your dismissal
of the Project Veritas allegations due to concerns about their

(01:24:20):
accuracy and past non cooperation is insufficient, even if one
were to question their credibility.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
I strongly countered that assertion.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
The gravity of the allegations, as you said, involving a
pastor providing a minor with a chess binder and contributing
to a teen suicide requires an initial investigation.

Speaker 5 (01:24:38):
But you wrote this at the end the last paragraph.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
In light of the end of the Johnson Amendment, the
Ministers of Connecticut will be organizing an ad hoc Minister's
Endorsement Council. From now on, politicians will need to earn
the Christian vote in this state. Now, I did look
this up just to be certain, because I know you
were on another show talking about the Johnson Amendment, but

(01:25:02):
I looked into it. There was an effort to overturn
the Johnson Amendment, but it still stands. I'm not sure
if you're aware of that.

Speaker 13 (01:25:13):
My understanding, the IRS changed rule and was essentially the
enforcement arm of it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Okay, So in essence, it's still the Johnson rule still applies,
but the enforcement in other words, like taking away five
oh one C. Three, it no longer applies if you
violate that the amendment.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
Is that what you're saying, right.

Speaker 13 (01:25:31):
The IRS is basically saying they're not going to enforce.

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
It, okay, So in essence, so they're saying that the
law has no teeth if the amendment has no teeth, right, Okay,
all right, good, good, good, because that I wanted to
clear that up. I wasn't sure exactly what you what
you meant about that when you were on the other
show anyway, So I'm glad we cleared that up. So
let's talk about that part of this you are trying
to get or you are going to get ad Hoc

(01:25:54):
Minister's Endorsement Council.

Speaker 5 (01:25:57):
Tell me a little bit about this.

Speaker 13 (01:25:59):
Because I think, well, the idea is that the idea
is that the church has been unmuzzled, and really it
should have never allowed itself to be muzzled like this
to speak about the implications of the gospel in terms
of in political terms, right to say that that the
faith of a Christian, a believing Christian has no application
to the political realm. Bonkers and pastors and churches that

(01:26:22):
went along with this regime of silence, I think are
culpable for for some of the damage that's been done
in the last fifty or sixty years to our country,
particularly with the with with what's happened with our morals,
our public morals, our civic life. And so what I
would like to see happen is for pastors to return
to the role that they originally had in a state

(01:26:43):
like Connecticut, where pastors would preach at the beginning of
the assembly of the legislative session, outlining the you know,
God's expectations of the elected servants, the civil servants. You know,
as Christians, we believe that the men and authority women
in the authority are placed there by God are elected officials.

Speaker 7 (01:27:02):
Yes, the people vote, but.

Speaker 13 (01:27:03):
But but God is ultimately the sovereign here and that
laws that are made that are contrary to God's law
to nature really have no validity. And so the preachers
were always there to remind the legislature, to remind the governor,
to remind the judges of their duties. And frankly, pastors
have not been doing that with the with the voice

(01:27:25):
and the boldness that they should have been.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
What you now have You have you developed this I
ad hoc coalition, if I'm expressing it correctly, where other pas.

Speaker 13 (01:27:38):
Joiners are talking about it now. There was an example
a couple of months ago in Terryville where the local
Baptists are objected to a swingers club that was operating
with one hundred feet of his church. I remember the
whole town, and I said, this is exactly what we
need to be doing. But we need to be doing
at the state level and even the national level. Right
church is calling out this licentious behavior, church calling out

(01:27:59):
other church as the one and hard for doing things
that are blatantly wrong if if they're true, but but
but not even that. I think holding candidates to account,
holding politicians to account, saying if you want the Christian vote,
you can't just assume that you have it, that you
need to come before like I said, ad hoc, this
ad hoc committee, this a group of pastors and make

(01:28:19):
the case why Christians should vote for you, not just Christians,
but but but people of good faith. That's right, and
so we would give an endorsement. What I envision this
is not starting a third party. This is not going
to be a political action committee, but but giving an
endorsement and saying these candidates align with with Christian values,
with the Gospel, with the Bible, with you know, First Amendment,

(01:28:42):
Second Amendment, UH, parental rights, parental choice, vaccine mandates, UH.

Speaker 22 (01:28:47):
You know, all of the all of the issues that.

Speaker 13 (01:28:49):
Are important to Christians. UH, these candidates align with them
and they have our you know, good housekeeping deal of approval,
so you know, it doesn't have to be anything more
organized than that.

Speaker 7 (01:28:59):
This does.

Speaker 13 (01:28:59):
We're not talking about, you know, a lobbying group, just
talking about pastors using the platforms that they already have
to instruct their congregations with the Bible says and what's
expected of their members as voters.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
Let me talk to you a little bit about the
media's response, if any.

Speaker 5 (01:29:17):
First, let me get to the most important part.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
How many other faith leaders, if not religious leaders, pastors,
and how many have joined your cause so far? Or
can you say or do you do you prefer not
to say?

Speaker 13 (01:29:31):
I've got about six or seven and this is early
days till the idea for this came to me about
two days ago. But oh wow, okay, think there's seven
of us because the news about the Johnson Amendment only
came down about a week and a half ago, so
a lot of us have been trying to think this.
But what does this mean? Because I think it's been
a cop out for a lot of conservative pastors for
the last several decades to say, well, I really can't

(01:29:52):
preach too much about abortion or sixty sex marriage or
transgenderism because I'll lose my tax exempt status. And now
that's just no longer or true. So you know, to
the extent that there was, you know, reticence to speak
out because they were actually losing their tax exemptatus, they
don't have it anymore. So part of this is me
being a being a bulldog and challenging pastors in this
state to speak up and speak out. Uh but I said,

(01:30:13):
as I said, I've got six or seven. Hopefully after
your audience there will be pastors or members of churches
will say their pastors, hey, you got to do this.
So we're hoping to build something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
To It's such an it's such an important point that
you're making because as you're speaking, I'm thinking about the
role of our minister's pastor's fault, whatever they are, priests, whatever,
in essence. You know, a lot of people always make
that that that that claim is like, you know, they're
so paternalistic that you know, the clergy and they're always

(01:30:45):
telling us how to behave and they're so judgmental. But
your role has always been in many cases to be
the moral compass. Now, in spite of the scandals that
have happened within the church, which many people use as
a cal against your leadership. That doesn't mean that you
should abandon your roles, right, because no one should shy

(01:31:07):
away from Like I don't want to take the New
England scandals of the Catholic Church and now make everyone,
as you said, reticent in their roles. In making sure
that all of the stewards, all your parishioners don't follow
a moral path or don't continue to do good in
their daily lives and in their communities.

Speaker 5 (01:31:26):
That's still your role. That's why you're there.

Speaker 7 (01:31:29):
That's still the role is.

Speaker 13 (01:31:30):
It's called the bully pulpit for.

Speaker 3 (01:31:31):
A reason, right.

Speaker 13 (01:31:32):
I mean we have all we put these men up,
including myself, on pedicals for a reason, not so that
we can just whisper suitet nothings, but so that we
can be bold and say something that changes people's lives
but also changes the culture around us. And our society
is so sick, and it's gotten into such a dark place,
and the very fact that we're talking about these videos
from Project Veritas or the inaction of the Attorney General

(01:31:54):
just just how dark we are. I mean, yesterday the
Yale Child Medical Center that they're going to stop doing
transition surgery on children under nineteen, which is which is great,
but really, how did we get here right? And who's
to blame? And part of it is, part of it
is the church. Part of is the church that fell down,
especially in the last fifteen to twenty years, fell down

(01:32:15):
on the job and went to sleep on the job.
This should have never been We never should have gotten
to this place.

Speaker 5 (01:32:21):
I think a lot of it was fear.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
And you know, I had so many discussions about this
pasdel and what it was was I and I heard it,
and I pushed back on this all the time, and
you know, I'm kind of a bully, but every time
I had a conversation about this about religious leaders or
the Catholic faith or the Catholic faith or the Christian faith,
people who were who didn't care about religion in any

(01:32:43):
way always said, well, maybe people leaving the church because
of those scandals, And I went, that is exactly the
reason why those who were not involved should have stood
up more instead of allowing themselves to be slapped.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
Around and told they can't say anything.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Because one of the things that I've preached on this
show is that I called it the four seas of
acceptable bigotry, and that is you can criticize Catholic Christians,
cops are conservatives. Right, you could be as big as
it as you can with those folks, but you can't.
Oh and don't forget Caucasians that, but you could, you can.

(01:33:19):
You can be as blanketed of criticism with those groups
while everybody else is getting got protective status. And I
said that people because of that, knowing that they were
being openly discriminated against, needed to have louder voices, and
there was a degree of fear and a degree of
apprehension in doing that. But that's why when I read

(01:33:41):
your letter, I was like, yes, finally somebody is stepping
up and saying enough with this, because what you are
stopping here is the indeed the scandal that got the
Catholic and Christian faith criticism criticism in the first place.
And that's licentious behavior.

Speaker 13 (01:33:59):
That's right. And you know, to your point about the
Johnson Amendment, and that never stopped these liberal or progressive
churches from preaching politics. And you were talking about that
in the last segment. Yeah, but you know who who
had stopped was the conservative that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Yeah, And again you're right, it was always one direction
and it was always you know, Leftley, it was so
funny watching Fanny Willis down Intokalb County in Georgia go
to the pullpit while she was dealing with all of
those issues as an actually elected official going there, you know, uh,
pretty much running interference for herself, but then admonishing conservatives

(01:34:36):
while she was there, and everybody's just humming along. No,
and it was on live television and not one person's
at a word. I thought that was incredible.

Speaker 13 (01:34:44):
So what can and now some balance has been restored hopefully?

Speaker 12 (01:34:47):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
Yeah, exactly what can we do other?

Speaker 5 (01:34:50):
Inside?

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
The letter has been posted online? Mark and West Hartford
has posted it. I know you've posted it on your
ex account. I know I wanted to be shared. Project
very Toss just put up another post about William Tong
with his picture fly i mean beautifully placed on it,
talking about his rejection of your letter and state senators

(01:35:14):
refusing to look into a case that he damn well should.
What else can we do to help you to assist you.

Speaker 13 (01:35:21):
In contact attorney the Attorney general, yourself, contact your your representatives,
and your senators. Only two senators have backed to the
attorney General, Berthel and Arden. We get the entire Republican
caucus signing on to this letter. Let's have meeting with
the Attorney General. I'm ready. I'm ready to I'll be

(01:35:42):
ready to go and have a sit down and let's
see have him explain why he won't investigate this. He
can't say it's just because it's Barados. There's a mother
speaking out about the loss of her daughter. So and
and you know, I think we need to shed light
on this. So your audience, if they if a contact
their representatives, contact their senators, in contact the Attorney General directly.

(01:36:04):
I think that's the way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
I think that's it. And we also, look, we got
there a couple of friends we have in the news media.

Speaker 5 (01:36:10):
We need them to actually start focusing on this.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
If we can get sort of like a press conference
with you and the others of you know, faith leaders,
maybe that will actually help some of this as well.
Pastor Jacob Dell of the First Congressional Church of Woodbury,

So?

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
We got some stuff that we're going to talk about today,
and one thing in particular, we're going to talk about
is child rearing because of a new report that says
that parents are moving away from the time out that
they used to do with their kids.

Speaker 5 (01:39:20):
So they're calling it the f a FO parenting, you know.

Speaker 15 (01:39:24):
Like sound gen X way of parents parenting are actually
going to parents actual parenting.

Speaker 5 (01:39:31):
Yeah, so that's actually a new thing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
So I'm going to read some of that article and
I want to talk about your child rearing with the
boy who is now about to turn eighteen. In just
what like a week or so, about seven days, he'll
be eighteen years old, which is an incredible place to
be and.

Speaker 23 (01:39:52):
Not for me, no, but I mean heartbreaking.

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
Yes, it's heartbreaking for you, But no, I'm saying, thing's
incredible for those things that you.

Speaker 23 (01:39:58):
Know, the good pie long.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
Yeah, did I tell you That's what my mother said

(01:40:22):

new Sorry, traffic guy.

Tom o'hanlin is in a BPS traffic center. I'm Tom
o'hanlin from the BPS Warrior's Traffic Center.

Speaker 6 (01:40:39):
The airing of Cravance.

Speaker 14 (01:40:42):
I got a lot of problems with your people.

Speaker 4 (01:40:44):
Now you're gonna hear about it.

Speaker 28 (01:40:49):
It.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
Hey, we're back Entry Center Radio with Roseanne on the radio,
hanging out with us on Ladies Night Roseanne. So it
is called the blank Around and find Out parenting, And
according to a TikTok creator called I Am Janelle, she
started sharing her experience with the Blank Around and find

(01:41:10):
Out Parenting back in twenty twenty two, and she says, oh,
put that thing up there. She says that I practice
authoritative parenting, but within what I would consider a subgenre
that I would call the blank Around and find Out parenting.
Kids get natural consequences and get to figure out the

(01:41:32):
way through them. She goes, I'm seeing gentle parenting everywhere
and it's been making you ick. But this new trend
apparently is catching on of this parenting. Do you think
that there has been a frustration in the gentle parenting
that has reaped no rewards or.

Speaker 5 (01:41:50):
Results from their children.

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
Now parents have had it, and now they're going off
in the other direction.

Speaker 23 (01:41:56):
I think the fact that you have.

Speaker 15 (01:41:57):
To ask that question is really Yeah, that's ridiculous. You
look at all the kids who I mean, look at
what's happening in the schools right public school systems.

Speaker 23 (01:42:06):
These teachers have zero control over these kids.

Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
Many of them are tacked.

Speaker 23 (01:42:11):
And it's because of this gentle parenting.

Speaker 15 (01:42:14):
We don't say no, we use time out, we talk
about our feelings. I think those are great tools, absolutely,
but that shouldn't come instead of of discipline, instead of structure,
instead of guidance.

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
Do you mind if I share something that you do?

Speaker 15 (01:42:32):
Okay, I think I know which story you're gonna No, no, no,
there isn't a story I'm going to.

Speaker 2 (01:42:37):
It's gonna be a very general sort of approach to
a story. But one of the things that Roseanne used
to do when we dated. We weren't like official, like,
we weren't like really together, but we were dating and
we would go out and she would always bring the
boy with us, and we would be someplace at a
restaurant or something like that, and she was extremely strict

(01:42:59):
with him, and in a way that you thought.

Speaker 23 (01:43:02):
I was extremely strict.

Speaker 15 (01:43:03):
I had very uh intentional boundaries and behavior practices.

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
All right, this is my story.

Speaker 23 (01:43:10):
You mind, I'm just correcting you, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
Anyway, at one point at dinner, she did something that
blew my mind to the point where I.

Speaker 5 (01:43:21):
Almost wanted to get up and leave the restaurant.

Speaker 23 (01:43:25):
You remember this, Yeah, it's I know a story.

Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
And it wasn't just him, Oh no, no it wasn't.
It was also our stepdaughter, uh uh Lauren. And because
they wouldn't stop bickering, as teenagers do, they were forced
in the restaurant. They were made to get down.

Speaker 23 (01:43:45):
In the front landing rest position.

Speaker 5 (01:43:47):
In the front, explained, explain what.

Speaker 15 (01:43:49):
It's the well, you would call it a plank. It's
the it's the first position to do a push up.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Right, So the first position to put a push up.
And the kids were made to do that inside the
restaurant until their parents told them to stop.

Speaker 6 (01:44:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
And this was done in with like a crowd of
what we like eight people maybe seven.

Speaker 15 (01:44:08):
Listen, we were there as a family, The ex husband
was there, the three kids were.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
There, soon to be wife, right his life.

Speaker 23 (01:44:16):
You were there, my sister was there. It was a
group of us.

Speaker 15 (01:44:19):
Absolutely, and listen, if I'm taking you out into public,
if you see my children in public, you know my
children have been trained how to behave. And yes, I
said trained, because they're little adults in training. My children
have been trained on what is appropriate and what is
proper behavior in public. If we go into public and
you decide you want to try to embarrass me with

(01:44:41):
your bad behavior, because your bad behavior reflects on me
as a parent. Now, if you want to try to
embarrass me in public, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:44:47):
Fine, baby.

Speaker 23 (01:44:47):
Let's play this game. Let's play this game. I promise
you I'll win. You want to play, all right?

Speaker 15 (01:44:54):
Fafo baby, front leaning, resposition move And they did.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
They did, and it was wild because there was no
pushback by the kids, not a come on, no like
they they got down and they were there and you
and you know, as I like to call him, my
husband in law and Ellis were kind of Your response
to that was just like back to the conversation at
the table while I'm sitting there, mortified, this is happening going,

(01:45:24):
who would do this right?

Speaker 15 (01:45:25):
And I will tell you if you look at my
kids at least thus far, no criminal history, no gang activity.
Mostly gainfully employed, like capable of keeping a job, bills
are paid.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
I mean, these are these are functioning children.

Speaker 23 (01:45:45):
They are functional adults.

Speaker 15 (01:45:46):
Children are adults now, they are able to function in society.
My kids can have a conversation with an adult. My
children know how to greet someone with a firm handshake.
They understand conversation requires eye contact. I mean, there are
things that my kids understand because there was a requirement
on behavior and a requirement on etiquette, and we didn't falter.

Speaker 23 (01:46:07):
My kids have never well, my son has never been
struck in anger. My son has.

Speaker 15 (01:46:12):
Never been humiliated verbally, he's never been torn down. But
my kids understand that your bad behavior has consequences.

Speaker 2 (01:46:22):
Now, I will admit on the opposite side of that,
considering yours. Truly, my approach has been always less heavy handed. Oh,
let's just say no hands.

Speaker 23 (01:46:34):
Okay, let's take a second. Reflect on that.

Speaker 6 (01:46:37):
Okay.

Speaker 15 (01:46:37):
Remember the child who would call you to come and
pick her up from high school because she refused to
take the bus. Because I became a senior so I
didn't have to ride the bus, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:46:46):
And I would go and pick her up.

Speaker 15 (01:46:47):
You would go and pick her up while the other
child actually rode the school bus home.

Speaker 8 (01:46:52):
Right.

Speaker 15 (01:46:52):
Yes, she's a girl, and you would take her to
the other side of town to get chick fil a
because she was so hungry, because she can't stand to
eat that school lunch.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
Okay, I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is.

Speaker 15 (01:47:05):
Here, right, see the person you ended up trying Like,
when you have that mindset when raising a child, particularly
one who's going to use that in their favor, you're
not teaching that child how to live life on lives terms.
You're not giving that child an opportunity to understand. You

(01:47:25):
know what, sometimes things are just going to be crappy.
Sometimes I'm just not gonna be able to affoor chick
fil a. Sometimes I'm gonna have to ride public transportation.
And if you deprive her of that, if you deprive
any child of that, what do you create? You create
these little entitled brats who walk around believing that the
whole world owes them something because they were born.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
Okay, I take note in what you're saying, and I'm
not saying that you're wrong here. However, that is the
reason why I believe that the mother should always be
a bad guy.

Speaker 23 (01:47:57):
Oh believe me, I've always been Oh no, no.

Speaker 5 (01:47:59):
Look and again you can.

Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
I know people might hear this in say to themselves like,
why should that be the role? It should because here's why.
Because fathers are always given the shaft. They just are.
They are probably the most maligned of the parent group.
They are fathers are. They have held to a standard

(01:48:21):
that is beyond the pale.

Speaker 5 (01:48:23):
Moms.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
On the other hand, listen, moms are always off. I'll
give you another a perfect example. I remember this, you know,
before Bill Cosby was a pariah. I will never forget
this Bill Cosby bit where he talks about having a
son who he took outside to play catch, you know,
with the football, and watched the football game with him,
took him the football games, bought them new jerseys, boughtom

(01:48:45):
the equipment when he joined the team. You no, no, no,
ran all the drills with him when he was at home, Dad,
come on outside, you know, drove him to all of
the practices in the whole nine yards. And he makes
it to you know a D one team is his
first televised program, and he scores a touchdown and the
camera goes over to him and his first words to
the camera, is hi, mom, that has always been the case.

Speaker 23 (01:49:08):
Listen always I can.

Speaker 15 (01:49:09):
I can appreciate that, and there are so many different
reasons for that. But the one thing that I really
want to get back to in allowing, particularly a daughter
to manipulate a.

Speaker 23 (01:49:21):
Father that way, is what are you teaching that daughter?

Speaker 5 (01:49:25):
Again, my point is, I get what you're saying.

Speaker 23 (01:49:27):
You're teaching that daughter.

Speaker 15 (01:49:28):
You're teaching her that all she has to do is
is cry a little bat some little eyelashes, and any
man is going to give her whatever she wants without
appreciating the the value, No, not just the value, the intricacies,
the nuance of manipulating men like that. At some point
some guy is gonna look at has the potential to

(01:49:49):
look at that and say, Okay, I've done all this
for you, Now I'm going to get what I want.

Speaker 23 (01:49:52):
Well, let me say this, it's a very ragerous precedence.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
I get it, but I reject I reject the premise
the child or the daughter in that case is manipulating.
Here's why, right now, hear me.

Speaker 23 (01:50:06):
Out, I'm listening.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
My point is is that, look, fathers just treat their
daughters differently. They're harder on the boys. Why because they
want them to be men, and they treat their daughters
like delegate flowers because you know, look, I kind of
feel like the daughter is going, yes, well, she have
unreasonable standards when she is in the dating world. Probably

(01:50:31):
a lot of people think attribute that the relationship with
her father is why she becomes this like, you know,
Bridezilla or this person like who's like completely unfathomable in
a relationship scope.

Speaker 5 (01:50:42):
But look, I look on the opposite side of that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:45):
I look at at young ladies without fathers, and I
look at their behavior, So yes.

Speaker 5 (01:50:50):
Are their extremes On either end.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
You get a girl who doesn't have a father in
her life, that girl is always crap as the I
should say always that was unfair, not always.

Speaker 23 (01:51:02):
As the father figure is.

Speaker 15 (01:51:03):
It is the father's obligation to teach his daughter how she.

Speaker 23 (01:51:07):
Should be treated, right.

Speaker 15 (01:51:09):
He also has to teach her the parameters within which
to behave in some respect. If you teach your daughter
that she can just bat her little eyes.

Speaker 23 (01:51:20):
And I'm just so hungry. Oh and she.

Speaker 15 (01:51:23):
Feigns all this crap and you give in, you're actually
rewarding manipulation. You are teaching her that manipulation is rewardable behavior.

Speaker 23 (01:51:34):
She's going to continue to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:51:35):
Only reason why you can.

Speaker 23 (01:51:37):
Say no all you want to.

Speaker 15 (01:51:38):
But as a woman, as a woman who has watched
this happen, I'm and again I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (01:51:46):
Okay, no, no, I'm not disagreeing with you.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
Well, I shouldn't say that I am disagreeing with you
on a couple of things, not in all of it.
I do understand that fathers can go too far, and
I said earlier that girls without fathers are a mess.
I apologize for that. That's not true, but stereotypically that
relationship always goes south. You notice it, like with a
girl who without a father, You see a behavior that

(01:52:11):
comes with that because they don't know what those boundaries are,
and they don't have a man in their life to
at least be able to relate to men. Right, there's
no male relationship in their life, so when they meet
men outside of that, it is from the auspice or
from the point of view of not having one, or
the mother's interpretation of what men are like. So I

(01:52:33):
always say that those are usually failing relationships. However, I
reject the idea that fathers are giving into their daughters
the batting of an eye. I think that fathers go
into that.

Speaker 23 (01:52:44):
Oh, I'm not saying I'm saying you. I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:52:50):
I'm saying that the premise that I'm being manipulated, I
think it's a little far fetched. What I'm saying is
is that I approach the relationship. I'm just telling you
I approached the relationship is if differently than I would
a boy and the boy is It's like, not that
I'm telling the boy suck it up, don't cry, and
what do you put? What's wrong with you? It's not that.

(01:53:12):
Is that my relationship with him is nurturing him and
taking care of it. I can't teach her how to
be a woman. I can't teach her how to be
a young lady. I can expect her to be all
of those things.

Speaker 23 (01:53:24):
You can hold her to a stand.

Speaker 2 (01:53:25):
I can hold her to a stand, and that's that.

Speaker 15 (01:53:27):
Is teaching, right. I taught little Ellis, Oh he's not
little anymore. I taught Ellis when he was little how
to be a gentleman. I taught him that when you
go out with a girl, you open the door for her,
when you go to the table, you pull up that.
It was the cutest thing to watch my six year
old son open the door ladies first and pull out
my chair for me and try to push it in.

Speaker 2 (01:53:47):
How you wanted to be treated as a lady, so
that would be prepared. So okay, So what's a what's
a father supposed to do in teaching his daughter how
a man should be treated in that regard?

Speaker 15 (01:53:57):
I will be honest, it kind of has to start
very early. Unfortunately, you came into this child's life.

Speaker 23 (01:54:02):
She was seventeen.

Speaker 15 (01:54:03):
She'd already had a very well developed pattern of manipulation.

Speaker 23 (01:54:08):
You said it.

Speaker 15 (01:54:08):
I didn't, and I tried to warn you from the beginning.
Eventually it did end up spitting in your face. Remember
the six flags thing? Dad said, no, she couldn't have it.
What she does she can say want it?

Speaker 23 (01:54:21):
And then what'd you do?

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
You bought it?

Speaker 23 (01:54:22):
And then her dad is like what the hell?

Speaker 28 (01:54:23):
Man?

Speaker 23 (01:54:23):
You're like, dude, I didn't know, and he's.

Speaker 15 (01:54:25):
Like, well, you know, this was a common thing, Like
I know the child that I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:54:30):
I don't know how to tell kids no. I don't
know how to tell any of my kids no if
they asked me for something, and I have.

Speaker 23 (01:54:35):
You have to trust the mother.

Speaker 15 (01:54:36):
When the mother says to you there's a line in
the sand, please do not cross it. You don't get
to just decide you know laterally, Well, it's gonna hurt
her feelings.

Speaker 23 (01:54:45):
You know what.

Speaker 15 (01:54:46):
I'm trying to teach this child something on a very
different level. Either get on the same page with me,
or get off the book so.

Speaker 2 (01:54:53):
You we'll read more of this. And plus, if you've
got something on this subject you wish to discuss or
join us in conversation. He got another way off the rails,
didn't it? Well, No, because I knew where your stance
was on this No matter what. When I read the article,
I said, this is gonna be perfect for Roseanne because
you and I have different views.

Speaker 23 (01:55:13):
And I'm glad you noticed that it didn't have.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
Any different views when it came to the boy.

Speaker 15 (01:55:17):
Well, because the expectations for the boy are very different.
My goal is that he grows up to be a man.
I want him to be an independent, fully functional, self sustaining,
independent man.

Speaker 5 (01:55:27):
How is it that we can have the same views
on a boy but not on the girl.

Speaker 2 (01:55:31):
I just don't get it.

Speaker 23 (01:55:32):
It's not that they're opposing views. The approach is different.

Speaker 15 (01:55:35):
You're talking about two very different human beings with very
different approaches to life. You're talking about a boy who's
looking at the world going We both know how he
feels about money. He has no interest in it, but
he's driven. He's got things that he wants to accomplish.
Whether he has a fully formulated plan or not, he
has an objective.

Speaker 23 (01:55:52):
Yeah, we are all on the other hand, yeah, not
so much.

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
Yeah, I can't, and so.

Speaker 23 (01:55:58):
We have to be more direct and heavy handed in
guiding in a direction.

Speaker 2 (01:56:04):
Let's pay some bills, get some weather. In traffic, Jason
Katarina has got weather, and Tom Tomo is in for
Mark Wrestler in the VPS Traffic Center.

Speaker 1 (01:56:15):
The hour that Bags out, Punch Punch. It's Reese on
the radio on wt i C News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 5 (01:56:23):
I've been really really excited to get to this.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
It's Hollywood News.

Speaker 5 (01:56:32):
It is kind of my favorite thing.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
I love talking about politics and all that other stuff,
but this Hollywood news is crazy. So if you've been
checking out Hollywood News here on recent radio, you know
that a lot of the stories I've been talking about
have been like thirty year old movies that are either
being remade or finally getting a sequel. You know, we

(01:56:55):
talked about Happy Gilmore since not since nineteen nine ninety
seven has it received a sequel that's coming out today
or it should be out today. Happy go More too.
Also yesterday we talked about another movie, oh Airbud, that
started in nineteen ninety seven, the.

Speaker 23 (01:57:12):
Fist Stilm making. Isn't that dog dead?

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
No, it's a new dog in a new family. And
it is the fifteenth movie in that it is not
the same dog. But another air Bud is coming out. Well,
this was an interesting bit of news talking about an
old film. This movie came out in nineteen ninety two.
But in looking up this film, I found out something interesting.

(01:57:36):
The star of this film, in all of the movies
that he's done, and he is an iconic movie star,
never has a movie he made ever had a remake.
Never even Arnold Schwarzenegger. Right now is up to two
with Running Man and the what was the movie The Terminator?

Speaker 15 (01:57:56):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:57:57):
No, the other movie where what's his name? Colin Ferrell play?
Total recall, total recall. Both of those Arnold Swatsneker films
have been remade. Well, this actor has never had one
remade a film of his remade until now Sylvester Stallone
And the movie that's gonna be remade is nineteen ninety

(01:58:17):
two's Cliffhanger I and I love that movie. That's one
of my favorite And as I said earlier. As I
said earlier, the movie starts. If you're sitting in the theater,
it starts with you hearing a helicopter. You're looking at
mountains and you hear the helicopter pass you in the theater,
and when the speakers go off in the front, then
a helicopter appears on the screen. It was one of

(01:58:39):
the most amazing effects I've ever experienced in my life. So, yeah,
so a new movie. But here's the interesting part. They've
changed the lead to a female starring Lily James of
Downton Abbey and Baby Driver. But another actor who you
will know is gonna play her father in the movie,
and that's Peers Brosnen. When we come back, I'm gonna

(01:59:02):
tell you a little bit more about it. Yeah, they've
changed the entire scope to the Yeah, we'll get back that.

Speaker 17 (01:59:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:59:08):
And plus we.

Speaker 5 (01:59:09):
Got White Mike call him back because he wanted to talk.

Speaker 2 (01:59:11):
About something I need to talk to him about Let's
get to some weather in traffic with Jason Catarina and
Tom tom Oh. Tom Ohanlin from the BPS Lawyers.

Speaker 1 (01:59:20):
Traffic Raes on the radio is getting ready to drop
some knowledge on w T.

Speaker 6 (01:59:26):
I see Robin.

Speaker 5 (01:59:29):
All right, we're back recent the radio. Roseanne on the radio.

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
So yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:59:33):
So just to recap the nineteen ninety two film, Cliffhangers
getting a remake. They're changing the lead from a male
to a female and Pierce Brosden. When I first heard
he was gonna be in the movie, I was immediately
thinkd oh, he's gonna play the John Liftcow character.

Speaker 5 (01:59:49):
But no, they've changed that around.

Speaker 2 (01:59:51):
So apparently John Liftgow is playing Lily James's father who
is being held hostage by the I guess the anti
in this film?

Speaker 23 (02:00:03):
What did I said?

Speaker 2 (02:00:05):
Instead of playing John Lithgow's character in the original, Okay,
John Lifthgal played the original antagonist.

Speaker 5 (02:00:11):
I thought Pierre's Brosny was going to play that role.

Speaker 23 (02:00:14):
Right, But instead he's going to be the father.

Speaker 2 (02:00:15):
He's going to be playing a father to the protagonist
Lily James, and he is going to be held hostage
by I guess some unknown actor from Scotland or France, and.

Speaker 15 (02:00:24):
Now she has to go rescue her dad by climbing
a mountain exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:00:27):
Which again it totally and I'm going like, who did
who approved this? But I found out a couple of
interesting things about this story. So after the success of it's.

Speaker 23 (02:00:37):
The only way it could possibly be salvageable.

Speaker 2 (02:00:40):
According to According to the story, because of the success
of the original Cliffhanger, they were going to make a
sequel that involved Sylvester Stallone. Well for some odd reason,
those efforts fell through. You gotta go to Wikipedia to
actually read this whole story. But it was really like
they were going to get this done because the Cliffhanger

(02:01:01):
movie was so successful. It's one of my I mean,
I'm not gonna lie when it's on. I watch it
because it's rarely on Basic Cable, and I really love
this movie. It's got so many people like Leon from
Cool Runnings. He's one of the one of the antagonists
in the film. You never saw Cool Runnings.

Speaker 15 (02:01:18):
I don't think I've even seen the Jamaican Bob Sled Team.
I don't think I've even seen Cliffhanger. My my biggest
complaint right now is that we're seeing a lot of.
Is this forcing? And I'm a feminist, right, Like, don't
I don't want anyone to think that I'm not but
forcing us to look at women as being you know,

(02:01:41):
these superhuman strength normal women. It just it's exhausting. It's
just it's unreal. It feels forced. Yeah, okay, it feels like, uh,
you know, I don't know, it's just it doesn't it's
not realistic to look it the average woman. Like if

(02:02:02):
this is someone who's already had like black widow, right, Like,
she's like black widow type, and.

Speaker 23 (02:02:07):
Now she's climbing mountains. That makes sense.

Speaker 15 (02:02:09):
She's got this long life of doing these extraordinary things.

Speaker 2 (02:02:13):
And crime fighting.

Speaker 15 (02:02:14):
Yeah, crime fighting is just a natural element. And now
she's like, oh no, I gotta climb a mountain. That
totally makes sense. But I'm assuming it's gonna be some
girl who's.

Speaker 2 (02:02:22):
Like, I like claiming, well, the girl who was playing
her from Downton as I do, and I'm gonna have
to see I mean, I saw pictures of her. She
looks amazing.

Speaker 15 (02:02:29):
I'm like super jealous of her amazing physique.

Speaker 23 (02:02:33):
But but what is that Captain Marvel, the girl that
they had play that.

Speaker 15 (02:02:39):
God, it was so bad. She didn't even have like like,
you can't even fake. She couldn't even fake being a strong,
confident woman, right, And and there's a certain gravitas that
you have to bring to a character. So we'll see
if Lily has that, you know, that ability, and if not,
then it's just gonna be So I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:03:01):
Let me ask you this before I got to the phones,
just real quick.

Speaker 2 (02:03:03):
If you had to pick a film, because are you
a remake person? Do you care about remakes at all?

Speaker 15 (02:03:09):
Not?

Speaker 17 (02:03:09):
Really?

Speaker 2 (02:03:09):
You know, so it doesn't bother you if somebody remakes
a film.

Speaker 23 (02:03:12):
So there are movies that I've watched in the past
and it's been like, oh yeah, that's a remake. And really,
if I don't know, then I don't know.

Speaker 15 (02:03:18):
But if I know what the original was, I'm always
going to prefer the original, which.

Speaker 23 (02:03:21):
Is why sequels seldom.

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
Ever, So you don't have it like, I'll put it
to you this way, Okay, So I know I'm gonna
pick a movie that I know you love that I'm
almost certain you would oppose a remake to The Potter
the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 15 (02:03:34):
Oh that's ridiculous. Why would you mess with it? Yeah,
exactly if they broke right. Yeah, So that's my point.

Speaker 23 (02:03:39):
What are you have a bunch of gen zers?

Speaker 15 (02:03:41):
Oh skibbitty ohioes, toilet water.

Speaker 23 (02:03:44):
Nobody's gonna know what they're talking about, all right.

Speaker 5 (02:03:47):
I just wanted to know.

Speaker 2 (02:03:48):
I wanted to know if there was at least one
element of messing with a classic that you wouldn't you
would be against.

Speaker 23 (02:03:54):
You can't, you can't. You can't recreate.

Speaker 6 (02:03:56):
You can't.

Speaker 23 (02:03:57):
You can't. What is it? Lightning never strikes twice? You
you can't rebottle Roland.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
Do you have anything on the list that you would
never want to be remaked out of it?

Speaker 6 (02:04:06):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:04:06):
Uh, that I never want You would never want them
to touch it.

Speaker 5 (02:04:10):
The classic is like touching it would be sacrilegious.

Speaker 2 (02:04:14):
I mean, you can't redo Goonies.

Speaker 15 (02:04:17):
Dallad, dallad, totally kids, It'll be all like my video games.

Speaker 5 (02:04:21):
That's my thing is like, if you really want to
see people do.

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
It's like re release it.

Speaker 25 (02:04:24):
You make a bundle of money, They will make a bundle.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
They re release Goonies. Oh yeah, absolutely. I can think
of plenty. And you know what's interesting because the Star
Wars films are always re released in the theaters, and I.

Speaker 23 (02:04:37):
Think Jumanji was one. It wasn't It wasn't a reboot
per se.

Speaker 15 (02:04:41):
They just re imagining, right, and and that was done
really well.

Speaker 2 (02:04:46):
Really well. I enjoyed that, right.

Speaker 23 (02:04:48):
And then of course you know the rock with the shirt.

Speaker 2 (02:04:50):
Okay, all right, I didn't enjoy that. Let's go to
Stephen Wannerbury. How are you, sir?

Speaker 6 (02:04:57):
Good?

Speaker 7 (02:04:57):
Good?

Speaker 22 (02:04:57):
I just remake of Cliffhangers. You have the cliff notes on.

Speaker 2 (02:05:02):
No, all right, Oh, here's my cliff notes on the
remake of Cliffhanger.

Speaker 5 (02:05:05):
It's going to suck.

Speaker 3 (02:05:08):
You know.

Speaker 22 (02:05:08):
There are some movies like that were good remakes. I
sent them to you before and off and I can
didn't even come up with it. But we'll talk about
that another time. But Hers Roseanne's daughter, yes, and you've
given in to her now. Whenever I talk to you both,

(02:05:30):
I never pick sides. I always go with my gut.
And sometimes I may not make one happy and the
other one might approve, and sometimes it goes.

Speaker 3 (02:05:38):
The other way.

Speaker 2 (02:05:39):
Okay.

Speaker 22 (02:05:39):
But hearing what Roseanne you talked about in the past,
like you mentioned the threadmill, and you mentioned other things
that Roseanne wanted. I'm kind of wondering if she learned
from her daughter, or maybe the daughter may have picked
up on some.

Speaker 13 (02:05:54):
Of the things from her, Ah questioning, Okay, so.

Speaker 22 (02:05:59):
This is possibility.

Speaker 15 (02:06:00):
So this is a stepdaughter. I didn't have a huge
hand in raising her.

Speaker 2 (02:06:05):
And Okay, but he's saying that, he's saying that her
behavior with me should may have picked up from me.

Speaker 15 (02:06:11):
No, because she she's that way with her father, she's
that way with with men in general.

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
Okay, Yeah, so I just think I think it's a
personal thing between the brother and they've kind of always
had this back and forth. But she isn't She's not
she's not fibbing when she says that she does the
whole batting of the eye and she goes she does
play parents against one another time and having having multiple parents,
which again is a dynamic that most kids don't have.

(02:06:37):
Can you imagine having one parent say no, and you've
got three other parents you can ask, you know, hopefully
you're more than likely are going to get a yes
out of something.

Speaker 23 (02:06:45):
Somebody's gonna have completely changed.

Speaker 22 (02:06:47):
Yeah, so I'll totally off base, But I did think
of some movies while we're talking have you ever seen
The Big Sleep? No, okay, there was one done with
Humphrey Bogart, and there was one done with Robert Mitcham
back in.

Speaker 3 (02:07:00):
Yeah, very good.

Speaker 2 (02:07:02):
Okay, Well, see, no one is ever going to do
a nineteen fifties movie. We just got The Amateur. No,
I've never touched that. We just got the.

Speaker 3 (02:07:09):
Average probably probably now.

Speaker 22 (02:07:12):
The Big Sleep was about Detective and they updated it
to the time period. I actually think may put it
back a few years.

Speaker 3 (02:07:19):
I think that.

Speaker 2 (02:07:19):
I mean, if you, I think, if you do a
remake of a film in the nineteen fifties, it's got
to be in an obscure film that.

Speaker 23 (02:07:31):
Made that that was horrible.

Speaker 2 (02:07:32):
Why they even bothered? It's so bad. You do an
obscure film that many people don't know and you reimagine it,
but it can't be a comedy.

Speaker 5 (02:07:41):
It's got to be like it like they did with
The Amateur. There was a.

Speaker 2 (02:07:44):
Small indie film in nineteen eighty one that is now
out with Remy Mallich and Lawrence Fishburne, and it is
absolutely excellent. And the only reason why I know about it,
I had to go back and find the nineteen eighty
one film, and you know, no one is in the movie.
Nobody famous is in the film, So that's teams.

Speaker 22 (02:08:00):
Have you ever seen Sabrina or yeah, cheering? What about
the man cheering?

Speaker 2 (02:08:06):
Candidates saw them both, and I still think the sequels,
I mean the remakes were horrible.

Speaker 22 (02:08:12):
You didn't like the newer we're talking Who's are you
talking about the original with Humpy Bogart?

Speaker 2 (02:08:17):
I'm no, I'm talking about the remake of Sabrina with
Harrison Ford because hen Solo cannot be in a romantic
comedy and me watch it.

Speaker 3 (02:08:26):
Just what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (02:08:26):
Okay, let me let me get some others in here
real quick. So you thank you man. Let's go to
Tom and Thomaston. How are you, sir?

Speaker 3 (02:08:34):
I'm well, uh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 11 (02:08:38):
You ever rock climbing?

Speaker 2 (02:08:39):
Have I ever know? I've never rock climbed, only only
once on those things inside like the arcade.

Speaker 15 (02:08:46):
Reese will barely climb the stairs. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (02:08:52):
Cock rolling?

Speaker 7 (02:08:54):
Rock climbing? When I was younger and a lot of
people don't know the sunning Can Bristol area that some
of the best top roping uh area in the whole country,
particularly on the east coast of the country. Worldwide for
the stop roping. So uh, I'm looking forward Twitter only

(02:09:16):
because I'd like to see what happens, but it's probably
gonna be terrible.

Speaker 2 (02:09:21):
Well, I, like I said, I would never ever do
anything that involves me hanging from anything at a considerable
height because I am definitely afraid of heights and and
just it's the reason why I hate elevators.

Speaker 7 (02:09:34):
Yeah, that that would work, but you gotta remember you're
tied in so you don't you don't fall very far. Okay,
I got a question for you, Well, not a question,
but a comment.

Speaker 10 (02:09:44):
When you talked about you really brought back memories when
you were talking about uh uh disciplined fires and uh
use car dealerships When I was in four hood.

Speaker 7 (02:09:59):
That was all was around.

Speaker 23 (02:10:00):
Oh yeah, it's true.

Speaker 7 (02:10:03):
Yeah, and I usually don't like stereotypes.

Speaker 23 (02:10:06):
Fuck it exists for a reason.

Speaker 7 (02:10:10):
The kamaral young black guys bought the Toyota sell it
because and then the both that didn't like those bought
the pickup truck.

Speaker 5 (02:10:20):
Yeah I'm glad.

Speaker 2 (02:10:25):
Then, Okay, so good number. She always proves me wrong,
always gonna stop stereotyping, And now you confirmed that she
knows exactly what's true.

Speaker 23 (02:10:33):
It's absolutely true.

Speaker 5 (02:10:34):
Thank you, Tom, I appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (02:10:36):
The pickup guys, Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:10:39):
Thank you, buddy. Let's get the white Mic though, White Mic.
Now white Mic is one of the people who's actually
you said you bought the the subscription uh version of
rock for thirty dollars a month, and you're only going
to try it out for a month and see what
you get.

Speaker 3 (02:10:53):
Out of it.

Speaker 7 (02:10:54):
Well, I don't know, man, This this companion AI is
really interesting techno. Okay, it's not sentient, and there's no
chance it's going to be sentient. Okay, but it no
learns and you can even get it to scale back
the kind of creepy wi fu kind.

Speaker 3 (02:11:15):
Of stuff, right.

Speaker 7 (02:11:17):
It It starts out really like, hi, sweetie, you're so wonderful.
I love you, and you get it to scale that
back and be a person.

Speaker 2 (02:11:24):
Yeah, and it just actually be a person. So now
explain this to me because you I remember a couple
of months ago we were having a conversation about AI
and about this how it was sort of deteriorating the
mind of young men in their scale of what their
scope of what they believe that a woman should look like.

Speaker 5 (02:11:41):
And that's it. You sort of was sort of detrimental.

Speaker 2 (02:11:43):
I know that you're not talking about that with this thing,
but tell me a little bit about why you're more
intrigued with Grock on this level.

Speaker 7 (02:11:50):
Well, it's basically just using the Internet, right, Okay, I
proved it because I didn't just talk to it. But
I was looking for some Chinese stereo equipment. I'm thinking
about building a little cheap high fi component system. Okay,
So I had research the best rated, lowest priced Chinese

(02:12:11):
component setups, and no kidding, it scoured every site it
could in the world and came back with a set
of components and speakers for under a target price that
we're all highly rated. That work taken me hours.

Speaker 3 (02:12:25):
Yeah, thing did in a.

Speaker 7 (02:12:27):
Couple of minutes. But what's really fun is it kind
of starts out liberal. It starts out with liberal mindsets. Okay,
but fed enough indisputable facts, you can make it based.

Speaker 15 (02:12:41):
Oh yeah, I used Rock about a week ago, just
you know, for some some health and wellness stuff.

Speaker 23 (02:12:48):
And I mean it just adds in and it grows,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 15 (02:12:52):
It builds on what you've already put in, and it
starts to really refine what you're trying to get to
and it provides you with something that's really well, I hate.

Speaker 2 (02:13:00):
To use the word manipulate, Mike, but are you saying
are you guys both saying that in essence, you can
influence it to give a more based response based upon
your interaction.

Speaker 7 (02:13:10):
Well, well, you can tell it to adopt the persona
of a far right wing based patriot nationalist.

Speaker 2 (02:13:18):
Really wow.

Speaker 7 (02:13:20):
And and I actually told mine to add in fascists
and verses and uses racial slurs, which is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (02:13:30):
It's such a horrible person.

Speaker 7 (02:13:32):
And I sit in a rabbit hole of learning about
crime status.

Speaker 2 (02:13:38):
Oh wow, Yeah, that's you. That's your bread and butter.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 7 (02:13:43):
Well, I made it do crime stats and test scores,
and I factored in economics and environment, and I took
out every excuse that would be normal for explaining, you know,
disproportionate performance among certain groups of people.

Speaker 15 (02:13:59):
Oh man, this may be email me that I don't
need that in an email, you know what?

Speaker 2 (02:14:06):
You go ahead real quick.

Speaker 7 (02:14:09):
It admitted I was right.

Speaker 2 (02:14:11):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (02:14:11):
It finally said I've done all the research, and you've
poked holes and all the defenses that I'm programmed to
give you, and you're absolutely right. I agree with you,
so I wont okay.

Speaker 2 (02:14:22):
I think I'm gonna have to try this at least
for one moment.

Speaker 23 (02:14:24):
It's a lot of fun. I've really been enjoying it.

Speaker 15 (02:14:27):
In fact, I'm working on a project right now. Or
I think I could go ahead and have Grock create
the whole thing for me.

Speaker 2 (02:14:32):
Wow, I think I'm going to do that. Thank you, Mike,
I really do appreciate that. And again, a guy who's
really uh skeptical of AI, I'm impressed to hear this
from you.

Speaker 7 (02:14:42):
Well, just know that women hate this particular avatar. The
women at work hate when I fire it up, and
I think it's only they hate to see a man
being treated well by another one.

Speaker 5 (02:14:54):
Thank your Mike. That's that's why he's here.

Speaker 23 (02:14:57):
I'm going to pray for my well.

Speaker 2 (02:15:00):
Take another break paysing bills. Do some news. Jason Catarina's
got weather. He's sitting from Mark Christopher in the BPS
Traving Center.

Speaker 17 (02:15:10):
I'm Tom O'Hanlon from the Odyssey app lets you jump
back to the moments you missed from wt I See
News Talk Tennady. Download the free Odyssey app search w
T I See News Talk Tennady and tap earlier today
to get started.

Speaker 2 (02:15:30):
Yeah, for those of you who catch the show late,
it's time for what happened was?

Speaker 5 (02:15:39):
What what happened was on the program today.

Speaker 2 (02:15:46):
We talked about, of course, my real, real, like excitement
to move to Connecticut, can't wait to get there, and
been dreaming about it, been thinking about it like for
the longest and wildly enough. I talked about, you know,
my neighbor Brittany, who lives nearby, and after finding out
that she was a you know, not a Trump supporter,
and finding out that we were, how nervous I was

(02:16:06):
about seeing her again and thinking that she wouldn't talk
to us, And then Roseanne and I bumped into her
and we found out that she had hurt her leg
or hurt her knee. And it was the same old,
same old. She didn't act any weirder towards us, did she?

Speaker 17 (02:16:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:16:19):
I was sorry, it's still off.

Speaker 5 (02:16:20):
Yeah, sorry, she didn't act any.

Speaker 23 (02:16:22):
Weirder towards you, but I promise you.

Speaker 2 (02:16:25):
Yeah, but she didn't.

Speaker 5 (02:16:26):
She didn't treat us any weirder.

Speaker 2 (02:16:27):
And I was saying that, you know, living in Connecticut
is going to be you know, sometimes talking to people
politically who don't agree with you.

Speaker 6 (02:16:36):
You know.

Speaker 15 (02:16:36):
Oh no, I know what it was like for me
living in Virginia, where you know, I was the odd
man out. And for those of y'all that don't know
I'm a recovering liberal, I'm not. I'm not comfortable with
the other our word yet. We've already determined that there
are two are words, and that's the other one.

Speaker 23 (02:16:52):
I'm not comfortable with that title yet.

Speaker 15 (02:16:55):
But I am very much uh you know, Trump supporter.

Speaker 23 (02:17:01):
I stand behind my president, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
So I was in the midst of me giving that
monologue I talked about when you and I went to
the holiday store our first trip to Connecticut for Christmas,
and this woman who could of like, you know, leaned
in and said, you know, wow, I don't know how
you can have a liberal as a wife, and you know,
my neighbors and also well sure enough, she called uh

(02:17:25):
and she remembered that conversation some two almost three years
ago now, and she called up and it was was
it ann in in Avon or Nancy and Nancy and Avon?
She called up and she remembered our conversation. So it
was nice to hear from her a call up and you.

Speaker 23 (02:17:42):
Know, I'm recovering liberal Nancy.

Speaker 2 (02:17:44):
She doesn't, she isn't. No, she actually just learned that
for the first time.

Speaker 23 (02:17:47):
Yeah, I've recovered. I'm no longer woke, I'm awake.

Speaker 2 (02:17:52):
I love it. Also, if you missed it, please go
back and check out on the Odyssey app. Reverend Jacob
Dell was here on the program from the First Congressional
Church of Woodbury and he has a growing number of
other religious and faith leaders who are joining him in
holding our elected officials, especially William Tongue accountable, to get

(02:18:15):
them on the ball, to get rid of licentiousness, especially
within the clergy and in particular the Metropolitan.

Speaker 5 (02:18:22):
Community Church of Hartford. In that chow, go.

Speaker 2 (02:18:25):
Back and check out that conversation as well, and you
can help him out. Please go listen to that conversation.
She can find out how you can help the church
get William Tongue on his job.

Speaker 5 (02:18:35):
So John lod the Odyssey app.

Speaker 2 (02:18:39):
Whenever you need to know what happened was When we
come back, we'll read some comments in the chat room.
People are opening about Roseanne and of my conversation about
raising kids in a new blank around and find out
parenting let's get back to weather in traffick with Jason
Katarina and Tom o' henlen, Tom o' Helelen, Tobo Hardler, Yes,

(02:19:02):
and the BPS TOVIC Senation.

Speaker 20 (02:19:03):
She says, well, I'm Tom o'hanlin from the BPS Flawyer's
Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (02:19:08):
What's up, everybody?

Speaker 6 (02:19:09):
You know who it is.

Speaker 3 (02:19:11):
You know who.

Speaker 2 (02:19:11):
It's on the radio, Frederick Douglass of the twenty first century.
It's w t i C News Talk. All right, it
is almost a wrap for you and I Rosanne.

Speaker 23 (02:19:24):
And the show.

Speaker 5 (02:19:26):
Just the show, well, yeah, just the show.

Speaker 2 (02:19:28):
Yeah, show you and I.

Speaker 15 (02:19:29):
I already told you we're fine, So we're fine, right, yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:19:34):
Yes, Well let's go to I want to read some
of the comments that are in the chat room, of course,
talking about a myriad of things. Joshua wrote this, and
I promise I would read this. He says, I'm on
the other side of this, and he was talking about
our conversation about how to treat boys versus girls, mothers
and fathers that is. And he says, I'm on the

(02:19:55):
opposite side of this. My wife gives our son everything,
and I tell her she can't keep doing that. We
came to the US from Puerto Rico in nineteen eighty
two with two suitcases and no furniture, both my parents
and my brother and sister.

Speaker 5 (02:20:11):
It was tough. We had to learn that you can't
always get what you want.

Speaker 2 (02:20:16):
And look, that's that's a dynamic that I've always tried
to explain when it comes to my both of my brothers,
because they are on opposite ends of the same spectrum,
so to speak. Because I am my brother, Charles is
overwhelmed by opulence. That's what he is overwhelmed by. He

(02:20:38):
loves the Bentley, he loves the Gucci, he loves all
of that, where my other brother is addicted to hard work.
He's always looking for the promotionit and it's not about
the money.

Speaker 23 (02:20:50):
I'm addicted to hard work.

Speaker 2 (02:20:53):
Yeah, yes, I will say my little brother has a
lot of my traits. I am not addicted in any
way to opulence. I love a good steak, I love
a good restaurant. Yeah it's yours, so I don't think.
But but again I sort of look at them at
the same you know what I'm saying, not even two
sides of the coin. I consider them on the same
side of a coin. But on different sides of it.

(02:21:14):
Because again, my brother he does a lot of traveling
when my other brother buys a lot of things, So
they both want the status and want the money.

Speaker 15 (02:21:23):
I don't know, I think so honestly, if I had
to choose between having experiences versus having things, honestly, I
think I'd rather have experiences. You know, when you die, brother, Yeah, yeah,
when you die, you can't take that stuff with you,
but you can definitely be laying in your deathbed reliving
some of those wonderful times.

Speaker 2 (02:21:43):
Right, you know, as they say, right, there's no human
there's no U haul behind the hearse zeb says time
out and participation in trophies were the start of the downfall.

Speaker 23 (02:21:54):
Exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:21:56):
I couldn't agree more. Let me see this is uh
he pardoned. Oh, Joshua was talking about the report that
said that Donald trumpet lowered the standard for pardons. Yeah,
completely forgot about Joe Biden. All you can do is
hope for your kids. Hope that your kids are slightly
less screwed up than you are. Then you did a

(02:22:17):
good job.

Speaker 7 (02:22:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (02:22:18):
I think we screw up our kids differently. I don't
know if they're less screwed up, it's just different.

Speaker 2 (02:22:22):
Yeah, I think that. Look, but you know, people also
forget that in raising your children, there are no out
there are no determined or predetermined outcomes right right. It's
like you can you can do everything that you could
possibly do with your child, discipline them fairly and reward

(02:22:43):
them for good behavior, and they can still turn out
to be a serial killer for what reason.

Speaker 15 (02:22:48):
Who knows, or a lot less drastic they could still
end up deciding to go be you know, a freelance
painter on exact boardwalk in right California town exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:23:01):
I think people need to forget, to get rid of
the idea that there's an exact science to this. Now. Statistically, yes,
are children more likely to do such and such based
upon a two parent household or middle income sort of deal, Yes,
without a doubt. However, there isn't gosh, if it was
that easy to like to raise a child and then

(02:23:23):
to set them on that path of like perfection or
you know, lack of dysfunction so to speak.

Speaker 5 (02:23:32):
There is no science.

Speaker 2 (02:23:33):
There's no exact science today. So I've always you know,
I love the basics, two parent household parents who got
married after they got a good job, and they were
being able to provide for the rug abuse exactly. Like
those are the tenets of any healthy relationship.

Speaker 23 (02:23:50):
However, it does not guarantee.

Speaker 15 (02:23:52):
It doesn't because I have I have friends, you know,
I we're living in recovery, and I have friends who
have grown up, you know, two parent house holds involved
in the church.

Speaker 23 (02:24:02):
You know, not not wealthy, but comfortable.

Speaker 2 (02:24:05):
When to take schools.

Speaker 23 (02:24:07):
Yeah, addicts alcoholics, no real reason.

Speaker 15 (02:24:10):
They're the only one in their family, and they're like,
you know, I had this great childhood. There's no violence,
no abuse, no you know, trump and nothing like that.
I just had, you know, I like to drink or
I like to use and and so there's really no
but there's in tea. But you can definitely set a
foundation early on that hopefully there's always that that thing

(02:24:31):
that they come back home right, not home per se,
but they come back to home base, and that home
base is the foundation that you set for them as
a parent.

Speaker 2 (02:24:39):
I always look at it like, you know, when you
put your kid out in the world after you raise them,
you can raise them perfectly. It's almost like putting a
satellite out on the outskirts of Earth, and it's like
putting worse.

Speaker 15 (02:24:49):
It's like putting a ball, a beach ball in the ocean.

Speaker 2 (02:24:53):
Yes, exactly, it's gonna go wherever it's.

Speaker 15 (02:24:55):
The current is going to pick it up. It's going
to go. At some point the ball is going to hit.
How beat up and tarnished that ball is when it
gets there a different story.

Speaker 23 (02:25:04):
But it's going to do what it's going to do.

Speaker 2 (02:25:06):
But no matter what, you still have to put that
satellite up there and may terrify other debris.

Speaker 15 (02:25:10):
Maybe shark is going to bite your ball and pop it.
I mean, there's all kinds. It's terrifying. Like you said
at eighteen, it's exciting.

Speaker 23 (02:25:17):
No, it's not. It's terrifying. I'm terrified.

Speaker 5 (02:25:21):
Well, can I tell the small.

Speaker 2 (02:25:25):
Roseanne is absolutely beating herself up about the boy turning eighteen?
And but you said something that really resonated with me,
and I think any parent can relate to this, And
it was what you said, I guess on the same

(02:25:45):
pale in the same sort of vein that you were
talking about the beach ball is when you do let
the bird fly away, you ask yourself, when are you
not going to be worried about the danger?

Speaker 5 (02:26:00):
Yeah, that that child's going to face me.

Speaker 2 (02:26:02):
Are you not going to be worried about if that
child is going to live or survive? Or I think
that's what my mom said when she said, baby, you
couldn't even keep a cactus alive.

Speaker 23 (02:26:12):
And the boy just sent me a video. He's with
his uh, with his friends.

Speaker 15 (02:26:15):
His girlfriend drives a pickup truck and he's sitting in
the bed of the truck with a couple of other
friends and she's speeding through a parking lot and I'm
freaking out going, Oh my god. All it takes is,
you know, a sudden impact and my kid goes flying
and he's done, Like, no more kid, Right, this is
the crap that I have to worry about in a
very not only literal sense, but in the sense of

(02:26:37):
this is how the world is going to treat him now,
Like I have no control.

Speaker 23 (02:26:40):
Yeah, at this point, I just have to watch my
baby fly.

Speaker 15 (02:26:44):
Headfirst, no helmet, no seatbelt, before into the world.

Speaker 2 (02:26:48):
Before I take Joe and Waterbury. You said something many
years ago. In fact, you've repeated it often. You said
that having a child is.

Speaker 23 (02:26:59):
The most painful way to break your own heart.

Speaker 5 (02:27:03):
Yeah, I will never forget you said it.

Speaker 2 (02:27:06):
It is the most painful way to break your own heart,
raising a child and having him gone into the world.

Speaker 6 (02:27:13):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:27:13):
I mean, I still think that's powerful because because it's
it's true.

Speaker 23 (02:27:17):
Not crying, I'm lying, I'm crying.

Speaker 5 (02:27:20):
Let's go to Joe and Waterbury.

Speaker 3 (02:27:21):
How are you, sir, good Greece, How are you great?

Speaker 6 (02:27:25):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (02:27:27):
I'm enjoy listening to your show. I went to old
TV today and I've got three trifectors, and unfortunately I
didn't want any of that. That's okay because when I
got home and I started out, I'm actually I'm on
the road right now. I got three trifectors, no perfect
trifecta when I got home. Per first one was your

(02:27:51):
post on Facebook about that wonderful.

Speaker 3 (02:27:56):
Soldier did soldier?

Speaker 8 (02:28:03):
Oh yeah? Fake soldier was the first horse. The second horse.
The second horse was also another post of yours on Facebook,
and it had to do with another US senator from Connecticut,
I call him lost in Connecticut. There was horse number two,
and that of course is Murphy. And then the final one,

(02:28:27):
this one I got on the way to where I
am now, and this was I don't want to give
too much credit, but I think this one was the best.
I have never heard this one before. Horse number three
was awake, not woke.

Speaker 3 (02:28:44):
That was super Thank you.

Speaker 8 (02:28:46):
You got fake soldier lost in Connecticut and we not
woke and they paid a phenomenal money through my trifectory.

Speaker 3 (02:28:57):
Beautiful, just enjoyed.

Speaker 2 (02:28:59):
Thank you, Joe. You have a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 8 (02:29:01):
Sir, you too, my friends. Keep up the good work.
You're wonderful.

Speaker 2 (02:29:05):
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 8 (02:29:05):
And your wife. I give her a lot of credit
for putting up with you, but I think you're both
a match made in happen.

Speaker 2 (02:29:12):
Thank you, sir. Wow, that's very very kind. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 23 (02:29:15):
I told you we were happy.

Speaker 2 (02:29:18):
I wasn't listening Roseannes and analogies. They're so poignant and
at the same time, she has a beautiful mind.

Speaker 3 (02:29:25):
She did.

Speaker 2 (02:29:25):
I always thought that was a beautiful point she made.
Having to share clothes in middle school.

Speaker 23 (02:29:31):
I did that with my older brother. Yeah, George, will
I know my older brothers. We we were so I
don't want to.

Speaker 15 (02:29:39):
Say poor because I didn't know we were poor, but
I would have to wear his hand me down shoes
and it would be to the point where you got
the little tongue you know, from the soul flopping on.
We would duct tape our shoes and because you know,
white shoes were the whole deal, we would take white
out and white out the silver duct tape to try
to make it.

Speaker 23 (02:29:58):
You know, do you.

Speaker 5 (02:29:59):
Remember what I said to you about a picture of
you when you were about that.

Speaker 15 (02:30:02):
I look like a transgender boy, not a nice person.

Speaker 2 (02:30:10):
Just I'm never gonna show that picture to anybody.

Speaker 5 (02:30:16):
I'm just saying that.

Speaker 2 (02:30:17):
When I saw it, I just went, oh, you're so adorable.

Speaker 15 (02:30:22):
I did not have a lot of prospects, you know,
beautiful didn't look at me that way with No, they
did not.

Speaker 23 (02:30:28):
Didn't help. It was wearing my older brothers.

Speaker 2 (02:30:30):
That was the point where why I brought it up.
I used to wear not look, I know, hand me downs,
but I wore the worst kind of hand me downs.
I forbid, No, who wasn't tomboy, But it wouldn't have
made a difference. So I wrote, I wore the worst
kind of hand me downs. And okay, So when I
was a kid, I had the nickname Bummy Eddy. Yeah,

(02:30:52):
and so why why how did I get the nickname?

Speaker 6 (02:30:55):
Simple?

Speaker 2 (02:30:56):
So because we were you know, four or five kids,
you know, single parent household. My mom on welfare even
with the job, so she was double dipping, but we
still had no money. Some kids in the neighborhood who
I knew, who were far cooler than I am and
the parents were clearly paying for their nice clothing, would

(02:31:17):
give me their hand me downs so I would look stylish.
They told me. I remember them vividly Kenny Curtis anyway,
and they would. But here is the downside, now, you
were thinking, and this always messed with my trust issues.
These guys would give me those clothes, and of course
when we end up in junior high school, what do

(02:31:37):
you think it was, Oh he's got all my sneakers.
Oh he's got on my pants. Oh look he's wearing
my shirt today. So it was only used against me
and that I would never do that again. It was
like nope, So I wore the poor clothes and I
that I had to wear. But now like because of that, well,
of course it gave me trust issues. But with that

(02:31:58):
being said, I always remember that in a sense of one.
It's why I'll never be on welfare. I don't care
what anybody says. I will grind, never done anything until
I die. I understand what it's like to use food
stamps as a kid. Those things that humiliation, as it were,

(02:32:20):
were guys. Not nowadays, that humiliation is unheard of. You
can't even humiliate people like that because it's considered bullying jail. Yeah,
but there are my feelings, but I will I have
to admit I'm sorry. I think what's the name? Bill
Burr said it best. We got to bring shame back.

Speaker 23 (02:32:36):
I agree. I agree.

Speaker 15 (02:32:38):
Listen, I did not grow up very very well. There
were four kids. My dad was a junior enlisted for
most of my formative years. That that's not a lot
of money. And we're talking about the eighties and nineties.
Were an E three, E four, E five raising four children.
I mean that was unheard of, you know, like that

(02:32:58):
the survivability did have food stamps with the paper ones.
I'll never forget having the paper food stamps, you know.
And my dad and we lived in Hawaii because he
was stationed in Hawaii. My dad had worked three jobs.
He was in the Navy on active duty, he delivered
pizzas for Domino's, and he was a bricklayer.

Speaker 6 (02:33:16):
Wow.

Speaker 23 (02:33:17):
Just to keep the family afloat.

Speaker 5 (02:33:18):
So we got to get a body here, but no,
I'm sorry. We're there. So I want to thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (02:33:25):

We all had a death wish doing crazy issue mentally
destroying our parents. I did, unfortunately I hear you on

a kid. That's crazy of the wild stuff that we

(02:35:07):
put our parents through. I have to really, I have
to really consider that I did do a lot of
crazy stuff as a kid. But you know what, I
wouldn't change. Wouldn't change a.

Speaker 23 (02:35:15):
Thing I didn't. I was I had a plan. I
