Speaker 6 (01:16):
On wt i C News Talk ten eighty Pleasure to
be here.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Good to have Rolling back. Roland is back in town.
It's good when you're back, man. I know, you know,
you've got a whole bunch of things to do. But
you know, when you're gone, you are missed. People always
as like, hey, where's Rolling. Nothing against Joey, we love

know they're gonna ask Rolling's back. Yes, Rolland is back.
Show flows a certain way when you're here.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
Yeah, just man, I mean, I guess it was a
good time.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
It was, uh yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Did you see at least some decent performances by your
dance troop says it worked?

Speaker 6 (02:11):
Yeah, well a lot of them. Well they were awful.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
You know what the problem is my standards because of
my music background, and I gotta stop being like that,
so critical. But I'm always extra critical, even of my
daughter when she's dancing. I'm like, you see when you
walked off stage, you looked at you look back at
the judges, and you didn't have a smile on your face.
You had a kind of like a just regular blank stare.

(02:37):
You gotta you gotta go all the way through to
the end. And when you get in the back, if
you're hurting or you're tired, or you gotta cry, you
do it back there. But while you're on that stage,
you kill it and you make all the right facial
expressions until you get out of the judges site.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Then you can complain or you can lose it, lose
it or whatever you have to do afterwards. You know
what that is.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
You may very well be a stage dad. I mean,
do you consider yourself that.

Speaker 7 (03:05):
No, No, I'm always in a they have they have
stage dads, they have the dads that wear the my
dance Dad's shirts and all that. Really, I don't do
none of that. I'm in the background, way in the back.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
I sit in the back.

Speaker 7 (03:18):
My wife likes to sit in the front to get
a better view. I sit in the back, and I
have my critiques in my head as things are happening,
and and then I'll like take a couple of notes
and then send her a text message while she's in
the back. Hey, then your next set and make sure
you're doing X, Y and Z. Okay, stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Do you not now, do you not sit up front?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Because she may be like you think that that may
intimidate her or sort of put her in a position
where she hasked to perform to a higher expectation because
she's concerned about your critique.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
No.

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Initially, when she was younger, I started sitting in the
back because when we sat in the front, she would
look at us. Ah, she's trying to dance, but then
she'll look at us and then how she's like all confused.
So I started sitting in the back initially because of that. Okay,
but then when she got older that didn't matter. But
I just wanted to you know, I'm just a I'm

(04:10):
just a play the back kind of guy.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
Yeah, with that much, will you know, we try to
get you on the front here, So no, I understand that,
but I always I know what you're talking about is
like being there in the front.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Kids are always seeking their parents' approval in some way,
even when they try to play it off that they're not.
So I get your point that you put yourself out
of that contention so that she's not focusing on you,
She's focusing on the task at hand. She may not
have that same sort of vision when mom is there.
Mom's there for moral support. That's great. But dads are different.

(04:43):
They you know, daughters always want to look especially involved dads.
They want to look great for their fathers, and that
over compensation and making sure dads has the face of
approval will distract them from the task.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Correct.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Yeah, all right, smart moves smart. Well, Well, I'm glad
you're back. Their place.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
Actually way higher than I thought they would because they
it was world so they had London, China, it was
everybody there in New Jersey.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
Damn, this is serious.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, and once I saw the London's and China's routines,
I was like, yeah, that's gonna be first and second,
So the best we can hope for it's third. And
they actually did get third.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
So they picked.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
It's like I don't know, one hundred performances that day,
and they took the top five from every category, so
and then the top five had to battle it out
for first, second, and third.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
And they still made it. Now that look, they made it.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
They made it fifth because the routine was if they
didn't have the tricks, I don't think they would have
made it, because they was. They were kind of like
going through the motions because I think they were just intimidated,
like we're not gonna win this anyway, so we're just
gonna dance. But then once they made it to fifth,
they realized, oh we can actually place.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
We ever shot.

Speaker 7 (05:51):
Yeah, and then they then they brought it up a
notch and I was like, Okay, that's that's what I
wanted to see. But they, like I said, they still
ended up in third, which is not terrible.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Yeah, especially when you're going up against people all over
the world.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
Yeah, it was it was China first, London second, Hartwork Connecticut.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
Not Hey, you can't listen, no offense. I could take
third place when I know first and second or other worlds,
you know, like other other countries in the world. You
can't get better than that.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
So congratulations, congratulations just replacing third you can't.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
Hey, it's like the Olympics, you know what I mean.
Getting the bronx is just a bronze is a metal Yeah,
that's right. I really yeah, man, that's exciting for you.
It's got to be good.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
I've never my kids, never pretty much amount.

Speaker 7 (06:37):
It's just you know what I what I will say
about that is they are, when I say, handover fist,
making crazy. I just did a one of my episodes
for my podcast about how much they're making hand over
fists with that much, it's more. I thought au basketball
was making bank this this competition six times five six

(07:01):
times with au basketball mate.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
We watched listen. We watch these dance competitions all the time.
They're like different age groups with their like adults. I
think World of Dance is another one that's really really big,
and those competitors are really really good.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
We sit there and on and just go goodness, gracious
if I can move like that till day I'd be half.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
You know, I've one, I've probably seen one or the
two the max entries that could possibly go to be
on like a World of Dance or something like that.
But you have to be extraordinary, you really do.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
I'm not gonna lie because every time I'm never ever
uh disappointed at stopping and watching one of those video
videos on TikTok or Instagram, I watch it all.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
The way through and I'm always thoroughly impressed. So, uh,
congratulations to her man. Placing third is not bad. I could,
I totally. I could sleep.

Speaker 8 (07:54):
I could.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
I could sleep at night with that. It was a
it was an easy ride home, I'll say that definitely.
I can imagine. Got plenty of news and plenty of
us to talk about today. We've got to talk about.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
The borrowing of one hundred and fifty five million dollars
because obviously politicians have run out of ideas on how
to deal with this ever source problem, so now we're
just borrowing money and there'll pass that savings onto you.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
We'll get into that later on in the show. Stand
by for that.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Also, we're going to talk about the Connecticut son who
was the person who told you that Connecticut was not
going to fight to keep the Sun in the state
of Connecticut.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
This guy told you that, and that's where we are now.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Although it is not set in stone, it looks like
the WNBA maybe putting the kaibosh on it.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
But I do believe they're leaving.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
And we'll talk about a great story that I read
about the Connecticut Sun and they're moving and a lot
of people are upset, saying that the natural progression of
this league, or at least this franchise should go to Boston.
And what the WNBA is actually saying about why they
don't want Boston to get the team, which seems to
not make much sense. We'll get into that as well,

(09:08):
but for now, I've got to talk about this, and
that is the Democrat Party has decided it's just going
to embrace socialism. It is realized that it doesn't have
a choice. It is not going to be a natural progression.

(09:29):
It is not going to be this.

Speaker 6 (09:32):
Sort of surprise we're a communists. It's not gonna happen.
It's going to be done in a very subtle way.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
And the subtle way it's going to happen is going
to be aided and abetted by the news media. And
this aiding and a betting is going to be done
through policy. Let me give you a small example. Last week,
William Attorney General of Connecticut gave a press conference that

(10:05):
is in support of gender affirming care for children. That
is not a moderate Democrat position, never has been, never
will be. But even after the November election, it is

(10:27):
now the hill Democrats are willing to die on. We
know that William Tong did not initiate that lawsuit against
the Trump administration.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
He jumped on board.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
And now he has the backing of none other than
Governor Ned Lamont, who many of you might remember.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
I played it here on a Bloomberg podcast. It was Lamont.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Who is saying that the middle is getting smaller and
smaller and that it wasn't a place where moderates could
survive anymore.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Here's what he exactly said. Listen to this governor.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
It seems like for both parties, perhaps.

Speaker 9 (11:15):
The extreme right the extreme left seems to be driving
the politics for each of those parties. Is there even
a center left for either party or both parties?

Speaker 6 (11:26):
It's getting smaller.

Speaker 10 (11:28):
Because I'm there and you're right, I think you know,
after Donald Trump's election, your Republicans are a lot less
likely to want to talk to me.

Speaker 6 (11:37):
You know, I always had a big table in an open.

Speaker 10 (11:40):
Door and a lot of people look at me and
say that it looks a little like Republican And the
Democrats are sort of really fighting Trump every day and
if you don't go after him on a daily basis
and sort of being weak in terms of your principles.
So you're right, the middle is getting very small and
that's not.

Speaker 8 (11:56):
A good thing for America.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
That's right, says the middle is getting small and that's
not a good thing for America. Then why is he
moderating towards the left? Gender affirming care is an eighty
twenty issue, and the twenty is the progressive wing of
the Democrat Party. But here he is, here, William tong

(12:21):
Is who has political aspirations beyond the Attorney General's office.
You know that, I know it. But that sentiment is growing.
Listen to what gen Z had to say. Fox Digital
did this. Everyone's talking about it. But listen to these kids, because.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Again they need them.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Moderate Democrats, as La Mancha said, is getting smaller as
the progressive left grows larger. And what are they left
to do in order to survive. Well, they can't just
wither away. They have to.

Speaker 11 (12:58):
Join the I think that you know, me, being also
a young person, a young voter, a college student, seeing
people like Dohran, Mom, Donnie AOC just gaining so much
more footing and so much more recognition in the policy
field is very empowering. It's given me a lot of optimism.
I think it soobilized a lot of youth to also
really align more with the socialism platform, because there's a

(13:19):
lot of stigma, especially the more conservative side with socialism.
So the fact that people are really advocating for a
very common sense policies like health care for all and
you know, more affordability is really empowering.

Speaker 12 (13:30):
There needs to be some sort of change within the
party that fits with the energy that is surrounded with
young people. Because yes, sometimes a lot of these policies
seem out there, they haven't been tried before. But sometimes
we need politicians and leaders who are willing to fail
and are willing to try.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
I'm sorry that young lady said, sometimes we need some
policies that haven't been tried before. Oh, silly child.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Again, this is what they're selling these kids that these
socialist ideas are brand new, silly, silly rabbit.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
They're not new. Nobody's going no one's trying anything new.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
It's the same thing your grandparents were trying in the sixties.

Speaker 13 (14:20):
I think candidates like Zoran Mamdani and AOC are really
inspiring to see. They you know, someone like Mamdania and
Muslim like me and saying I'm here.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's so inspiring to see.

Speaker 13 (14:29):
And so I think that someone like that in twenty
twenty eight can carry a lot of momentum. I think
people are so excited the New York City mayoral election, right.
Whoever thought that people in Texas, where we're from wouldever
be excited about that?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
And that's the other thing that I told you, which
is turning out to be true. Young Democrats all over
the country are focusing on Mamdanni. They believe that a
Momdanni win in November is licensed to oh that sentiment everywhere.

(15:04):
They would be emboldened by the number one city in
the country electing a communist. See folks, it works. See
Democrats listen to us. There's audio today from the socialist
wing of the Democrat Party saying we hate.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
The Democrat Party.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
They don't want to align with them, they don't want
to coalesce around them. They wish to destroy the Democrat
Party because it's old and outdated, and it's got seventy
one year olds like Lamont. It's got John Larson, it's
got Elizabeth Warren. Hell Bernie Sanders is still their hero,
but they want no parts of them.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
They're not even rather why because he's not even viable.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
He has their same ideas, but he's old, which again
completely must be rejected.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
It's a bunch of.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Children, folks, and the Democrats have no one to blame
but themselves. They gave the children the keys, and if
they didn't give them the keys, they didn't keep an
eye on the liquor cabinet. Because the kids have broken in,
the kids have stolen the keys. The kids are drunk

(16:15):
driving and they're in charge. There were a bunch of
children throwing tantrums and Democrats can't control them. They keep
forgetting that they bore this, they brought this to you.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Now.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
I've said this a long time ago that leftists and
Democrats and well, I repeat myself, they don't know what
they're doing.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
They never have, They've always acted like children.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
They've always based their policy on what made them makes
them feel good.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Aborting a baby feels good.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
It liberates you, sex with whomever they want without consequences.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
They love that. They love all of that stuff because
it's about it's about being irresponsible, it's about anarchy. There
are no consequences for life as far as they're concerned
in everything that they do, no matter how.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Bad it may be, must be subsidized because they don't
want anybody to feel bad. And if you act like
children and you have children, the children will eventually be
in charge. Oh look at them, they're so wise beyond
their years. You taught them to behave this way, and
now they're in the supermarket throwing a tantrum while the

(17:41):
rest of us, adults and normal people look at you
like you're weird.

Speaker 6 (17:45):
What's wrong with them? What's wrong with that? And then
they scream it you don't judge me. My child's just
expressing himself.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
And then they eventually give them the cookies and the
candies and the treats. Won't eat them their vegetables or
make them go to their rooms or do their homework,
And now look what they have. Alexandria Casio Cortes and
Zoron Mamdani and a legion of small children who are

(18:15):
now in charge, and the old folks can't do anything
about it. They don't want to criticize these kids, they
don't want to discourage them. So instead of actually doing that,
these bozos over at Bloomberg saying well, there's radicals on
both sides, instead of pointing out what the pro real
problem is Bloomberg, and that is your side that's doing
the most damage. And once they get a hold of everything,

(18:38):
it's over. When we come back, I'll explain what I
said a long time ago. We are at the precipice
where twenty twenty eight will be decided between communists and
capitalists when we get back.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 4 (18:55):

Speaker 4 (19:36):
And Max just joined the chatroom. If you like to
join the chat room, go to REESA on the radio
dot com. That's r E E S E on the
radio dot com, join us on Facebook, or you can
just chat right there from the website. I'll read your
comments as they pertain to the show. I was just
listening to the bottom of the hour news with John
Silva and you know Democrats in Connectic talking about how

(20:01):
Donald Trump, which is to criminalize homelessness. And this goes
right to the heart of my opening monologue about the
radical left and the socialist left is aligning itself without
having to say that it's a socialist party. Now, I

(20:22):
want you to think about this. There's no spin attached
to what I'm about to give you because this comes
directly from NPR.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
It's come from NPR. They're reporting.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Donald Trump's executive order called Ending Crime and Disorder on
American Streets is to prioritize discretionary grants for states and
localities that enforce existing or adopted prohibitions on urban camping, loitering, squatting,

(21:00):
and open illicit drug use. The Left says this is
criminalizing homelessness, which means this is what they describe being
homeless like now, I don't know about you, but being homeless,
I knew exactly what it was about, having done it

(21:22):
for so many years.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
A champion of homelessness is your host? Now is bozos?

Speaker 4 (21:32):
And I say that in the ivory towers on both
parties who know nothing about this, who've never had to
live on the streets, ride the subways or trains, sleep
in on park benches, or sleep in hallways, having no
access to.

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Food or shelter or bathing facilities.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I'm talking to you as one of those who experienced it,
not for a weekend get away. It was a livelihood
for three years that I didn't do any of this stuff.
I didn't loiter, well, you could call it loitering when
I was sleeping inside of a partially abandoned apartment building

(22:17):
on the second floor where I would sleep. Thank god,
the neighbors knew who I was. And of course knew
that I was a fifteen year old who had nowhere
else to go, so they never.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Called the cops on me. They just let me sleep there.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I was known in the neighborhood, but they couldn't do
anything for me, so they just let me sleep, never
harass me.

Speaker 6 (22:37):
Was never bothered by the way, urban.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Camping, loitering, squatting, and open illicit drug use is not
the definition of homeless.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
That's the definition of vagrancy. But I digress. This executive
order also ensures that homeless individual are arrested for federal
crimes and are evaluated for civil commitment if deemed sexually dangerous,
and support encampment removal efforts with federal law enforcement assistance

(23:12):
where public safety is at risk. This is not criminalizing homelessness.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
This is if crimes are being committed in these encampments,
where people are at danger, other homeless people are in danger,
to remove those threats.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
Again anarchy. They're supporting.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
To stand there and say, now, remember, the only thing
that the Trump administration is trying to do is get
help and assistance for those who are homeless, getting them
off the streets. One if there are a mental threat
to themselves and others, getting them in facilities where they
can get help, and cleaning.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
Up the streets.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Because I don't know anyone who thinks that these people
who are on the streets aren't an eye sore, or
it makes it difficult to navigate through, that it isn't
somewhat harmful for your.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Children to be around. Seriously, I just find it.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
I other cases where people used to be moderate and
became extreme.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Socialist Joe Biden.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Biden's ire in twenty twenty two included three hundred and
sixty nine billion in climate investments, echoing the Green New Deal.
Kamala Harris twenty nineteen and twenty twenty. Kamala Harris backed
Black Lives Matter demands for criminal justice reforms. These are

(24:56):
not moderate Democrat issues. Hillary Clinton twenty sixteen. Clinton adopted
Bernie Sanders inspired policies like public university tuition relief, comprehensive
immigration reform with citizen paths, shifting from her earlier moderate
stances in twenty sixteen, shifting her moderate stances. What were

(25:20):
her moderate standards? Her moderate stances if there were legals
to port them. That's what she was saying on a
campaign trail as early as two thousand and eight.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
We're not talking about the nineteen sixties.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Folks, We're talking about the early two thousands. Amy Klobagor
Ammy Cloviachor co sponsored bill's targeting corporate monopolies tech giants,
aligning with far left anti corporate sentiments. She becked Biden's
Build Back Better agenda, including child tax credit and paid leave.

(25:58):
Chuck Schumer he endorsed raising taxes on incomes over four
hundred thousand dollars in back far left demands to alter
Senate rules for expanding voting voter rights bills, moving from
his earlier moderate positioning.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
What happened and old Pete booty Juice, booty jedge whatever.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Initially supported the public option but evolved to endure passways
to single payer healthcare.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
This guy used to be like the mayor of the Midwest.
What happened.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
They're all extreme leftists and they have to be. They
have no choice. The masks come off because they can't
alienate the infants, the children who have now taken all
the party, the ones that they taught in the university. Remember,

(27:01):
the same professors that are teaching in the universities and
colleges across the country are the same college professors and
teachers who these politicians sort of rode with all their
lives in colleges and universities. They were all taught under
the same indoctrination, from the public schools to the colleges.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
They're all in one magic brew. And for them to
sit up here and say, ah, we might knock it off,
they don't have a choice. The kids are in control,
and the kids are not all right. They're not They're

(27:47):
a mess. So I don't know what else to think.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
I think, come this November, and I think it's fair
to say, come this November.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
That it will be a seismic shift for the Democrat Party.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
I believe that this November the conversation will be, or
begin to be, what country are we?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
And not that I think there'll be some sort of
like war.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Republicans or conservatives will finally be.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
I guess exonerated.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
For saying for a long time say, I coach you
they were Communistsye I told you. But yeah, yeah, we
get it. And by the way, don't don't fluff yourself
because you were right. The bottom line is Republicans, conservatives, libertarians,
it's not enough to just be right that you saw

(28:59):
the writing on the wall.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
It isn't enough.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
You have to ask yourself what did you do to
influence others that that was the wrong way to go.
I get a lot of guff from people in this
medium and outside of it, and onlookers and listeners and
all that other stuff who constantly.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Say, oh, he's this, Oh he's that.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
They get annoyed when I look at them and I go,
so so what because a lot of them have spent
their years and spun their wheels thinking that opinions matter
and their point of view matters.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
While they do nothing but moan. They think that actually
does something. I tell you.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
These darn democrats, I tell you these darn communists.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
Okay, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well?

Speaker 6 (29:58):
I don't know. What do you want me to do?
What do you mean? What do I want you to do?
What do you want to do?

Speaker 4 (30:07):
I see a lot of people complaining, and boy do
I see you on X I see you all the time,
and I pay very close attention to what you say
and definitely what you say about me, and I love it.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Don't get me wrong. I just to say this a
long time ago.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Keep my name in your mouth, keep talking, because the
complaining gets you nowhere. I've got a record of results,
and everybody knows it. I have a record of results.
You have to ask yourself if you do, what mind

(30:43):
have you changed? What young person who is voting is
voting a different way? Which person have you had a
conversation with, who has now seen the light?

Speaker 6 (30:54):
What empirical evidence have you used to make your case?

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Nobody? Oh then fine, do me a favor. Just complain,
Just complain when we come back. I want to read
a quote as Megan Kelly shared it. She found it
a couple of days ago, and I think it's the
best quote ever. And it's written by a Rhino Republican,

(31:22):
a very famous and I might even say world famous
Rhino Republican.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
You don't want to miss it, So stick around. We'll
be back, more news, more views than you can take
a stick out of Trees on the radio on w
t i C News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
We're back Reese on the radio, w t i C
News Talk ten eighty. Telephone number eight six zero five
two two w t i C eight zero five two
two nine eight four to two. Don't think I'd always
go to Rees on the radio dot com that's our
e E.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
S E on the radio dot com. By the way,
we have a.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
New page up or a new link up that you
can share with us the stupidest story you've read.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
Uh, you can go there and you just find it.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Just put the link there and we'll find it and
we'll check it out and we'll even announce who you are,
like we'll say you know, like Johnny are from Bristol
with this story. So if you've got the stupidest thing
that you've read today and you want to share it
with the show, go to Resellerradio dot com to do that.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Now.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
Now, I want to share this with you.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
He is the most famous Rhino Republican in name only
in the history of the world. And he has a
great quote about complaining. Many of you may have even
heard it before. I just found it the other day
because I don't really follow this this gentleman. But when

(32:44):
I read the quote and I saw Megan Kelly share it,
I went, I gotta talk about that. I gotta, I
gotta say it on the air. Here's the quote and
then I'll tell you who it is. In fact, Roland,
We'll see if you can guess who this famous person is.
He wrote no complaining about a situation unless you're prepared

(33:05):
to do something to make it better. If you see
a problem and you don't come to the table with
a potential solution, I don't want to hear your whining
about how bad it is. It couldn't be that bad
if it hasn't motivated you to try to fix it.
Who do you think said that? He is very famous,

(33:29):
probably one of the most famous people in the world.
And it's not Donald Trump. Maybe Roland's doing something else,
that's right, Okay, think he's busy.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
I'll read it again.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
No complaining about a situation unless you're prepared to do
something to make it better. If you see a problem
and you don't come to the table with a potential solution,
I don't want to hear your whining about how bad
it is. It couldn't be that bad if it hasn't
motivated you to try to fix it. Let's go to

(34:06):
Tom and Thomas Dion before we go to break, see
if he might know.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
Who this quote is. Tom, do you know who said
that famous quote?

Speaker 15 (34:13):
No, I have no idea.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Do you like the quote?

Speaker 15 (34:18):
Ah?

Speaker 16 (34:18):
Yes, it's a it's an X ray quote. That's a
go for all things.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
In life exactly.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Indeed, that quote is from none other than the former
governor of California.

Speaker 16 (34:35):
Yeah, g Reece, No, I swear to God that was
the person I was thinking. Maybe it was Arnold forgetting
grief about everything he didn't do.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
That's right, that's again that and again the bottom It
makes so much sense because look, I know that people
have become conditioned and almost addicted to complain about anything
and everything. But if I if you feel that passionate
about it, you gotta do something about it.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
That's the way I look at it.

Speaker 16 (35:09):
Yeah, I wasn't all that happy with him as a governor.
You know, he was in a super liberal state. You know,
he had he had an uphill battle for everything, So
it makes sense that he said that.

Speaker 6 (35:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
But again, like it's a great quote. I said, I
take the quote no matter who the man is who
said it, you know what I mean. It could have
been Barack Obama and I'd have still agreed with the quote.

Speaker 16 (35:33):
Hey, Reees, real quick, did you see Sean Paul Rask
talking to the governor this weekend?

Speaker 6 (35:39):
No, but I I know where the audio is and
give me an opportunity.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
I'll check it out because I got to go to
a break, so stand by, call me back in another hour.
I promise I'll get to that. All right, good, you
got all right, let's take a break.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
We've got more news and break. What's that? Oh, that's right,
There is no problem. I keep forgetting, you know what,
I always forget that this hour is not like the
other hours. I'm always screwing that up. Sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
All right?

Speaker 6 (36:03):
You know what, let me take Fred while he's here.
How are you doing, Fred?

Speaker 17 (36:06):
Hey, I'm good. Uh word cop vagrant? It were first
wandering idly about vagabond, nomadic, tied to no home country
or a bode roving. Yeah, vagrant. Back in the day,
just being idle was a real big deal.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Well, I like the term vagrant. The only reason why
I use the term vagrant is because I remember what
happened when Marrow when uh Denver, Colorado uh less, I
mean started legalizing marijuana, the use of marijuana, and all
of a sudden, all these people from everywhere else in
the country just started coming through the state. And but

(36:49):
we would always use the term these vagrants because that's
what they did. They just plowed their way through through Denver,
moving their way up to Seattle and Portland.

Speaker 17 (36:59):
I knew people in Middletown who were basically on the
street and they stuck their thumb out to go to Colorado, whoa,
and ended up living in the woods coming back, you know.
But yeah, so just that George Carlin has great material
on that street. People encompasses everyone.

Speaker 14 (37:15):
In Middletown here.

Speaker 17 (37:16):
Yeah, we're very proud of our open, festering sores. And
I've heard people say, oh yeah, Middletown doesn't hide there.
They're disfunctional, idiot dirt bags. You know, they put them
on the display. Jesse Kelly refers to Pete Buddha Judge
as the rear admiral.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
I think that and the expression.

Speaker 17 (37:38):
You were looking for is the only thing worse than
being talked about is not being talked That's.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
What a I learned that from my buddy Touches said.
When you become irrelevant, that's when you should worry. Indeed,
thank you, buddy, you got.

Speaker 6 (37:51):
It all right.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
When we come back, we'll take more news, more views,
We got headlines. We've got Rudy on the line. Stick around, Ruty.
We'll get to you the top of the hour, I promise.
Uh and A whole bunch of other stuff to get
to again. Arnold Swartzenaker, folks, isn't that wild? No complaining
about a situation unless you're prepared to do something to
make it better when we come back. I've actually got

(38:13):
a story that relates to that today and with my
conversation with somebody in politics today.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Greece on the radio making sense of the news, Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all. All Now
on w w T I see news talk to eight.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
You're gonna get into some headlines in a minute.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
But as promise, Rudy's calling on the way out in
Flowery Die.

Speaker 6 (38:37):
Hello, sir, thank you, Yeah, yeah, perfectly. What's up?

Speaker 8 (38:44):
Oh yeah, so I got two things.

Speaker 18 (38:48):
I got a breaking news teaser for You's gonna eventually
call you, But first I tried calling you. I was
in my car like a half an hour and I
had a lash.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
Week you talked about crazy black Democrats.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Yes, well, I said that that they have a tendency
to be the root of where the party is going.

Speaker 8 (39:10):
Right.

Speaker 18 (39:11):
The Republican Party has blacks, and you know they're well spoken,
well dressed, like Tim Scott and Byron Dante. But let's
go with the Democrats and combined your hatred and thank
god the Connecticut son of finally moving. But with the
w n B A we could start at w n
B A Democrat crazy team. You're gonna have Maximue Waters Crockett,

(39:35):
You're gonna have the last two mayors of Chicago, and
you're gonna have who's that clown the girl that ran
for Georgia governor Abrams Al Green? Who's Guam's gonna tip over?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
You can go on, No, that's Hank Johnson, but yes,
oh yeah, Al Green and Hank Johnson. No, no, you
got him both right, but just Hank Johnson is the
capsized guy.

Speaker 18 (40:04):
Oh we get throw on hot team, Jefferies, without a doubt,
I don't know how to set up Booker.

Speaker 8 (40:11):
And then it would be appropriate to have a professional
basketball any basketball.

Speaker 19 (40:15):
Team without one white man that can't jump, and that
honorary man on this all w n B A Democrat
crazy team would be none other. And since you're the
president of this stake called Chris Murphy.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Yes right, he would be the perfect coach. He would
be the perfect coach.

Speaker 18 (40:38):
And you you low income listen, I mean low information listeners.
They all suffer from ani Stephily. I want you to
all google Antistephie and I'll spell it for people that
live in Wallingford, A and E and C P H
A L Y. Now, this is what's wrong with Democrats. Here,
here's the teaser. I don't expect you to know it either.

(41:02):
You don't have a medical background, but okay, you probably
can figure out from the tone of my voice.

Speaker 8 (41:07):
But here's the teaser. We all know. Marksman at war
with one Mary fay.

Speaker 18 (41:13):
Correct who is LGBT, which is ironic because I don't
think she's LGGT. I think she just hates men because
she picked on She actually called to RC members homos
I did.

Speaker 6 (41:30):
I did read that.

Speaker 8 (41:30):
Doesn't even like gay men. She has like you or I.
She is like gay men.

Speaker 18 (41:36):
So Mark's got some interesting information on there and he
was sharing it with me, and.

Speaker 8 (41:41):
She slandered him.

Speaker 18 (41:43):
Indeed, I suggested, and he's meeting with a lawyer I
suggested to go after for defamation of character.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
I think that that is I think not only is warranted,
but I think that what's also warranted is filing a
false police report.

Speaker 18 (41:59):
Well, there's interesting twist to it that caught one of
my favorite targets as a caller to your shelf.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
Uh huh.

Speaker 18 (42:07):
One Christopher Rebstock otherwise known as Christine the Middletown who
I referred to as Shim, also sent derogatory emails to
Mary fet Interesting. So he is going to ask the
lawyer if he could include Redstock in this whole case.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
Okay, So, well is it breaking now that you're telling
me this?

Speaker 18 (42:34):
Well, I don't have all the information.

Speaker 8 (42:38):
I'm just giving you a keyser that.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Okay, he has like emails, and like.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
I said, until that, because of the Mary Fay thing,
wasn't really like my thing. Apparently another radio host is
all over that because he's kind of in the middle
of that back and forth. So it really I didn't
want to pile on because it wasn't my Yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 8 (43:00):
There's only a sate white problem that she runs her controller.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Right indeed, and if that happens, I mean then it's
forget about it. I mean at that point, oh, bets
are off. But you know, no, I know a little
bit about it.

Speaker 18 (43:14):
My last thing is I just want to put them
so their rest are sured. Joe from Simsinary and Tim
from Walford are not implicated in this situation.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
I'm glad that they're not, but none.

Speaker 8 (43:31):
Of the free they don't. They don't have anything to
worry about it.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
You're the best. Thank you, really, I appreciate you, sir.

Speaker 8 (43:39):
You're like my favorite sell mate if I had one.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
I appreciate you, sir.

Speaker 18 (43:44):
You're the guy that will get out of prison before
me and put money on my books.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
I put a little bit. I'm teasing you work for
w T I C a little bit and a lot
of thanks money. All right, let's get to some news.
All right.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
It looks like there's gonna be more shakeups at the
on the horizon for the Tiffany Network. Reports suggest that
Gail King and her morning show overall could be on
the shopping block as Paramount looks to shed its liberal
bent in the news department. Now, again, this is one
of those things where a lot of people have not

(44:31):
focused on the settlement agreement with the Trump administration, which
was not just to pay the administration the money for
election interference, but to also incorporate some conservative views. And

(44:51):
it's broadcasting and Skydance, which is of course going to
be the parent company of the Tiffany Network, has obliged,
and they're going to dedicate money to do that.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
If you've ever watched the Morning show, the.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
CBS Morning News with Gail King and the rest of
those guys, it's a really leftist show.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
And not only that, it's plumbing in the ratings.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
It's third overall, if not fourth, and right now they're
just getting rid of all of its dead weight. Stephen
Colbert was one, and now the CBS Morning Show looks
like that's gonna happen as well. According to the Associated
Press Press NRC Center for Public Affairs Research poll says

(45:34):
the number of people saying that Asian and black people
are experiencing discrimination has dropped since the last time the
survey was conducted, and that was in April of twenty
twenty one. Today, four in ten say that black and
Hispanic people face a quite a bit or a great
deal of discrimination. Three and ten say the same about

(45:56):
Asian people. That's actually a considerable decrease. Three in ten
say that Asian people, and one inten say that about
white people.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
According to the report, the.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Last survey showed that sixty one percent of US adults
said there was a great deal or quite a bit
of discrimination against Black Americans a local story that we
are further investigating at Resona Radio. It's about a mother
who's looking for answers for after a two year old
son died in care of a Bristol YMCA. She said

(46:30):
that she received a call that her child had choked
on a piece of a meatball. However, the staff told
her that her son, Saunty, was okay and breathing, but
she needed to get there as soon as possible.

Speaker 6 (46:43):
When she arrived there, of course, the worst thing that could.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Happen to a parent of a very young child happened
and her child was pronounced dead. But the part that
is people are finding interesting in this story is that
the Department of Children and Families is now investigating the death,
which many people find odd because DCF is supposed to

(47:09):
be there before things like this happen, or if a
child is injured, not when a child dies.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Not.

Speaker 6 (47:15):
I don't say it is to be joking, but.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
Does DCF have things gotten so bad that now they
have a coroner's unit? I mean, for crying out loud, like,
what could they possibly do now? What investigation could root
or glean any information for them? They're gonna interview people
and say, hey, what happened. They're gonna say, he choked
on a meatball. What investigation could they possibly have?

Speaker 6 (47:38):
The police.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Need to be involved, not for any criminality, but just
ask questions, ask probing questions, have detectives, talk to people
who are involved.

Speaker 6 (47:52):
That's all you can do.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
But DCF they don't have the investigative chops to get
to the bottom of this. And not only that, they've
got some repuation scars that they need to deal with Waterbury,
anyone Waterbury. So the fact that DCF has taking the
lead on this baffles me. But I think that there
may be a little.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Bit of.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Politics involved in all of this, because the y c
A has got a lot of deep roots in politics
and civil rights within the community. So I think they're
gonna deal with this with kid gloves. Nonetheless, the mother
is going to be burying her child, but she wants
answers and she demands them. And we're gonna get to

(48:34):
the bottom of this to find out exactly what happened,
and we're gonna dig as deep as we possibly can.

Speaker 6 (48:37):
We're not gonna lead.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
This to DCF to get to the bottom of And
I guess now it's time for the stupidest thing I
read today.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
Yes, you do.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
You could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
Now, what could be dumber than this, I don't know today,
but it is. A soccer fan was removed from a
Saint Louis soccer club game for wearing a MAGA hat.
In the viral video, security a scene explaining to the
man that the hat violates their position of political messaging
in the stands. The MAGA hat wearer, whose name Michael Whitzel,

(49:25):
points out that.

Speaker 6 (49:27):
The stadium allows fans.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Which were there, they were there at the time, who
were waiving trans and Pride flags. In the video, security
and the police are seen and heard saying that those
flags were preapproved for display, which in essence says or

(49:51):
suggests that in order for you to wear a Make
America Great Again hat at a stadium, or at least,
in the Saint Louis case, in their stadium, you have
to have pre approved.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
Now, this sounds like obvious discrimination and the dumbest thing
I've ever heard in my entire life, But there you
have it.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
And I don't think that there was a pre approved
I think that there was abject fear at the hands
of security or anyone else for that matter, to tell
someone for the trans or LGBTQ supportive teams that they
couldn't wave their flags at the stadium. They were scared
to death. But Maga folks, you can do whatever. But

(50:30):
I will have to applaud this development in the story,
and that is the DOJ's Department of Civil Rights is investigating. Yeah,
it's nice to note that the Civil Rights Division goes
both ways.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
Yes, they are investigating this case that we're going to
see if someone's going to be held liable in discriminating
against this man for wearing a MAGA hat while he
is shown the camera towards people waiving LGBTQ flags at
the same time. So that's a great development in all
of this. We got coming up very soon. We're talking

(51:11):
about the Connecticut Sun and it's a possible move to Boston.
A great article about that came out today saying that
the reason why the WNBA is trying to fight this
is for a very ridiculous reason, and it involves Boston
and the year twenty thirty three, Yeah, twenty thirty three,

(51:35):
and why it may they're trying to keep it from happening,
and I don't know. I've got a couple of opinions
about this. I do believe that Connecticut cannot. I don't
think it's sustainable for the Connecticut Son to stay because

(51:57):
I don't think that Connecticut folks really really care about
the team. I just don't, I really really don't. If
you want to read my substack, go to Resutner radio
dot com.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
My substack on it.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
It talks about how Connecticut has lost its liberal ways
and it doesn't support the Connecticut's Son and other things
that's supposed to stand for liberalism anymore. So go check
it out. You got to go to Restner radio dot com.
Just scroll down to the substack and you can become
a subscriber. You can get all of my articles that
all come out on Sundays, talking about anything and everything.

Speaker 6 (52:33):
I try to keep it local.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Sometimes it's national stories when they are relevant, But go
check that out. In a host of a bunch of articles,
one in particular that you might want to check out
is the one about Arte Charlemagne, the god.

Speaker 6 (52:48):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I laugh every time I say that name.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Charlemagne is now the focal point of a lot of
people talking online because of this interview he did with
Laura Trump on Fox News and even prompting President Donald
Trump to say something about it on Truth Social And
this is one of those things where I often get

(53:14):
ticked off at Trump for doing wading into these conversations
with irrelevant people. And I know it's because it's easy.
This is I don't believe in punching down. I don't
believe in the idea of punching down. I believe that
everybody who punches should be punched figuratively figuratively, but if

(53:38):
you punch, you should get punched back on.

Speaker 6 (53:40):
And Charlemagne has a tendency to do that, and he
has a platform, but he's.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
He's giving attention to a guy who doesn't deserve it.
And the best way I can describe it is to
read my substecs on it. It's called Charlemagne, Charlemagne, the
god awful pundit, And it breaks down how this guy
is nothing more than a hypocrite. He preaches all the
liberal talking points about hatred of millionaires and billionaires, hatred

(54:08):
of capitalism, and then goes on his program when no
one's looking and then promotes generational wealth. And you know,
what sneaker brand he's got a commercial for. He's a
capitalist at heart. But no, you know, he always down
degrades it for everybody else, saying how corrupt it is,

(54:29):
you know, completely decrying people like Jeff Bezos. At the
same time tell everybody else to get their hustle on
and make bank pursue the bag. The guy doesn't know
what he's talking about it because he knows nothing. He's
just a hip hop head who said something nice about Republicans,

(54:49):
and Republicans went wild.

Speaker 6 (54:52):
Oh it's a black.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
Guy who's a liberal who said something nice about us.

Speaker 6 (54:55):
Here's the black bill. Mah, he's not. He's a moron.
He is not politically savvy. He does not know the issues.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
He repeats what he's told, which is why he contradicts
himself all the time.

Speaker 6 (55:09):
If anyone ever were to follow him.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
And watch him, watch him, or read any of his stuff,
you will hear the contradiction from one sentence to the next,
because he's not savvy at all, and he has no
he has no integrity. And to if you, I mean,

(55:35):
I don't know if you should listen to his show.
If you are interested, just listen to the show and
you'll see everyone else on that show is just as
numb skull stupid on politics as he is.

Speaker 6 (55:47):
And I hate I don't again.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
I feel like I'm I'm going down that road where
I'm starting insulting people.

Speaker 6 (55:53):
But he is. He's just not smart in the realm
of politics.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
He just isn't.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
And he'll say something great about Republicans or the maneuvers
that Donald Trump's making, and then you'll see folks on
Fox News start playing his sound.

Speaker 6 (56:10):
Bike, even Charlomone the Good Degrees. I'm like, so, what,
so what?

Speaker 4 (56:19):
This guy is a leftist and he is an uninformed leftist.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
He is.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
He's literally the biggest megaphone for uninformed and low info voters.
That's who he is. The guy literally said on what
was that Laura whatever name is Laura Bush or Laura
Trump's show, he literally said he would vote for Kamala again.

(56:47):
That's a disqualifier right there. He would vote for again.
Here doesn't see anything wrong with that woman. Give me
a break, he's a bozo. Gotta go to a break.
One News more views when we return.

Speaker 6 (57:01):
Stick around and we'll get to that Connecticut Sun story
when we return. It's Teresa on the radio on WTIC
Newstalk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Fan of wti C, then do us a favorite, download
the free Honesty app and favorite wt i C.

Speaker 6 (57:16):
Hey We're back. It's Reesa on the radio wt i
C News Talk ten eight. I did not know that
Nancy Mace was already announced that she was going to
be running for South Carolina governor.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
We congrats to her and good luck. Let's talk about
this WNBA thing because there are a lot of things
to consider, and the WNBA Board of Governors has released
a statement about this possible sale, and.

Speaker 6 (57:51):
The statement has drawn some fire. Let me let me
read what it wrote. They told this to the Athletic Y.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
Location decisions are made by the WNBA Board of Governors
and not by individual teams. As part of our most
recent expansion process, in which three new franchises were awarded
to Cleveland, Detroit, and Philadelphia on June thirtieth nine, additional
cities also applied for NBA teams and remain under active considerations.

(58:25):
No groups from Boston applied for a team at the time,
and those other cities remain under consideration based on the
extensive work they did as part of the expansion process
and currently have priority over Boston. Celtics prospective owner has
also reached out to the league office and asked that

(58:46):
Boston received strong consideration for a WNBA franchise at the
appropriate time. Well, he says, that sounds like a dumb
public relations statement. This writer of the of mass live right,
he says, possible preceding even a dubber decision. And the
reason why, he says this writer, why people should be

(59:08):
upset one is because the WNBA is undercutting the Mohegan Sun,
which would be selling the team. And it also is
a problem because the next available franchises aren't until twenty
thirty three, where if Boston decided he wanted to be
a part of the franchise, it wouldn't be considered until then.

(59:30):
And Boston is making a smart move by saying, let's
buy the team, get them to the TD Bank Garden,
and build another practice facility for them, which would be
great for the city. And I can get that Connecticut
wants the Sun to stay.

Speaker 6 (59:48):
But what did you do to keep them.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
This effort, this twelfth or eleventh hour of effort to
keep them in the state.

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
What were you doing before this? These rumblings are over
a year old.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
If not older, that it was possible that they may
leave and go to another state, in particular Boston.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
Everybody knew it. Everybody knew it. And here we are.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
I mean, we're talking about something that was rumbling for
a long time. In fact, Governor Lamont, who's now saying, no, no,
we believe women's basketball started here.

Speaker 6 (01:00:26):
We'll stay here. But when he was asked before, he
was like, oh, we're going to do what we can
to keep them, but never said anything else.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
No efforts, no real efforts were made. I heard no
politicians fighting to keep them here. And what's worse off,
what's worse off is that the fans didn't either.

Speaker 6 (01:00:46):
They didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
And I want to read a statement in the chat
room from a committed leftist.

Speaker 6 (01:00:55):
Let me read it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Who can spend fifty dollars a ticket, fifty dollars on
refreshments for basketball?

Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
Bring a date?

Speaker 4 (01:01:05):
It's two hundred dollars family, four hundred dollars a game.

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Who can pay for that?

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Committed leftists who support female sports, And clearly the left
does not anymore, perhaps because there are no transgenders on
the team, perhaps because they don't really care about the
things they said. They cared about most Title nine. That

(01:01:35):
used to be a leftist position, right, That used to
be the Democrats position. We need female sports, We need
to make sure that we have female sports. We have
to make sure that women have the staying opportunities as men.
But now that that whole theme has shifted, it's kind
of had a course correction. They no longer care about it.
But then again, they don't care about anything they used

(01:01:56):
to care about. And by the way, I'm just giving
you the feature of the article that I wrote today,
which is pretty much break down to that everything that
Democrats in Connecticut used to stand for they don't stand
for anymore, and female basketball is one of them, and
it's gone by the wayside. So Boston cares let them
have it. You should have stepped up, you should have
prioritized it. You didn't, and you never had the money

(01:02:20):
to support it. You just wanted to support it in
theory if you can protest about it, show up on
the weekends, hold up signs.

Speaker 6 (01:02:28):
You were all in. You could afford that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
But when it actually meant digging in your pockets and
actually spending money on the thing that you care about most,
you guys were out. You bounced, as you always do
unless it lines your pockets. I said the same thing
in the article about what was it about d quat.
We're talking about Connecticut, ladies and gentlemen. We're talking about

(01:02:54):
Connecticut that had an argument of debate for years about
ev mens in the state, about everyone being mandated to
take wind and solar electric vehicles get off fossil fuels.

Speaker 6 (01:03:10):
All of a sudden ignored it and then started talking
about spraying poison in the waterways. What happened?

Speaker 4 (01:03:20):
What happened? They just ignored it. I mean they just bounced.
And for what and what are they showing up for now?

Speaker 10 (01:03:30):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:03:31):
Connecticut got their panties in a bunch about you know,
gender affirming care, fighting the oligarchy, Tesla cars. They're fighting
against Tesla, the preeminent electric vehicle company that sells bar

(01:03:53):
none more of electric vehicles than any other electric car
maker in the world. These bozos in Connecticut protested it
because everything they stood for is out the window. Why
Because they've got bigger fish to fry, and that is
the big orange bad man. So don't complain now that
Connecticut son want to leave or they want to be appreciated.

Speaker 6 (01:04:17):
You don't care. You never did.

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
I mean, unless the team should start I don't know,
wearing anti Trump shirts should probably show up every game.
But you don't care about the things you used to
care about anymore. No one is fighting against Tesla anymore
in the chat room. Yeah we know, because even that

(01:04:46):
you guys can't stick to. You're not fighting about it
anymore because it's no longer a problem to you. It's
no longer a focus because you guys can't stay focused.
You're making my point for me. The Connecticut Son used
to be the most important thing to you, and now

(01:05:06):
you have other fish to fry. Why, because you guys
are just like any other child. You can't stay focused
for more than fifteen minutes.

Speaker 6 (01:05:15):
You can't.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
For you, guys, it's what's trending, that's the new thing
you're protesting. So Tesla's no longer a threat to society anymore.
Doads still exists, Elon Musk still invented Doze. Doze is
still in Washington. What do you mean there's no longer
a protest about Tesla, no longer a protest about the
pre eminent electric car maker being a Nazi salutist.

Speaker 6 (01:05:41):
What happened Oh, you're off to bigger things.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
You just moved on like any other teenager who moves
from soccer to tennis to bad mitton what Who can
take you?

Speaker 6 (01:05:54):
Seriously?

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
If you're not fighting the good fight anymore, if it's
just a movie target every day, Come on, man, you
guys sound like Bozo's you're so busy trying to push
back on what's obviously clear. You don't have a target.
You don't have anything to believe in because you believe
in nothing. That's a big part of this. You believe

(01:06:17):
in nothing and you're against everything. And this is the
reason why no one has any confidence in you. Who
can rely on someone where you can't stay focused for
longer than fifteen minutes on something? And what happens when
you don't throw your financial support to the things that
you claim to be outraged about, When you don't actually

(01:06:39):
put your money where your mouth is, those things leave,
Those things recognize you don't care, and they bounce and
they either join the other side.

Speaker 6 (01:06:48):
Or they go where they're wanted to them.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
They're just the latest pair of sneakers to you, the fad.
Don't blame us, at least at least on our side.
We can be consistent.

Speaker 6 (01:07:08):
As soon as we see one of ours being harangued,
we joined forces and we keep them ATIP. If you
want to take an example, look at American Eagle. No
one even cares about that gene company.

Speaker 4 (01:07:19):
No one ever did, but all you bozos had to
do with boycott.

Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
It, and everybody jumped on board. Why to save it?

Speaker 4 (01:07:30):
Do you think anybody really cared about buying a pair
of eighty dollars jeans? No, But when you guys started
going ape about it, they jumped on. They said, yeah,
you know what, I can afford to buy an eighty
dollars pair of sneakers just to tick them off.

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
You would never do that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
You'll go on Instagram, you'll change your status on your
social media pages, but spend a buck, actually pay your
own money to support what you believe in. No, Hence,
while you're complaining fifty dollars a ticket, who would waste
their time?

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
And the drive is so long? Bye bye son.

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
All that stuff you thought that those people were pushing
for you to exist meant nothing. It's a platitude. It's disgusting.
No one's fighting against temslin I what how do I put?

(01:08:37):
This is the best way to put this, everything is
going to leave. Everything will be gone if you don't
really put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise you're
just going to be a bunch of screaming infants. And

(01:08:58):
after a while, people will get bored of that too.
People are going to be sick and tired of the
constant whining about the latest thing you didn't get considered for.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
And you'll realize it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
Then you'll probably get focused on something, but then it'll
be too late. You know, if you don't stand for something,
you'll fall for anything. And that's the point, you fall
for everything. And you can talk all day about the
Jeffrey Epstein thing. It's not even a story this week.
It began no headlines this week because Democrats found something

(01:09:38):
else to moan about. They found something else to be
ticked off about. Once the outrage. And that's the thing
about you children. You guys will say to each other.

Speaker 6 (01:09:50):
Ah, you know that was fun, but we got to get.

Speaker 4 (01:09:53):
Into something else. I'm bored with yelling about American eagle.
Can we talk about something else? And that's exactly what
you'll do. Soon you'll be saying in the chat room,
we don't even protest about Jeffrey Epstein anymore because someone
would have told you what to be outraged about that week.

(01:10:14):
But then again, don't listen to me. You already proved it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
You're in the chat room saying just that, you don't
even moan about it anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
We'll take a break, we'll come back. We've got traffic
and weather coming up soon. And of course your phone
calls at eight sex zero five two two WTIC. It's
reesea the radio on WTIC News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
It's on the radio, ask your doctor of common sense?

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Is right for you?

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Right for you?

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
News talkd WT.

Speaker 6 (01:10:42):
I ses in a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
I want to talk about something that my wife started
doing or she purchased, and I'm gonna if there's anybody
else who does it. I want to hear from you,
uh buying food online, if there's anybody out there who
has done that. I need you either in the chat
room or I need you on the phone. So it's
like zero five two two WT. I see it's zero

(01:11:05):
five two two nine eight four two. And to just
give you a little breakdown of why I'm asking, okay,
because look, my wife is not very domestic and I
hate to use that term, but that's her term, not mine.
I don't want to think anybody thinks I'm I'm chauvinus.
But she says she's not very domestic and she hates

(01:11:26):
cooking every night. So she found this thing that's online
that sort of sends you a week's worth of food
every week.

Speaker 6 (01:11:37):
And I'm not gonna lie she found an inexpensive one.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
I'll talk about it a little bit, but if you
experience or do something like this, I want to hear
from you so that I can understand your experience if
you've done it, so maybe you can sort of guide
me through it. I'm you know, I'm apprehensive to say
the least about it, so I kind of want to
get some insight on it. Yeah, this comment in the

(01:12:07):
chatroom to what it makes me laugh about about Gallaine
Maxwell being transferred from one prison to the next.

Speaker 6 (01:12:16):
What's the outrage she went from one prison to another
prison still sits in prison. There's an outrage. What's the
outrage that she's still in prison?

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
I mean, is this like that doesn't make sense to
me that people on the left now have a problem
with the geography of prisoners, not the fact that they're
in prison, but now that their geography has changed.

Speaker 6 (01:12:45):
That's something I wish that again.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
It shows you how silly and petty all of this
is and why you can't take it seriously.

Speaker 6 (01:12:54):
You just can't.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
And these people who are concerned don't know what they're
talking about. Knuckleheads are in charge of this party, and
the people who are supposed to be in charge, the leaders,
the party leaders are scared to death. When you have
political leaders who can't even answer a question like do

(01:13:21):
you support the AOC and Mondani wing of the Democrat
Party where you have to make your answers about Donald
Trump or the focus about that. You're so afraid to
alienate that base. How can anybody call.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
You a leader?

Speaker 6 (01:13:38):
You're a fraud, you're a chump, you're a punk. If
you can't come out and just say nope, that's at
least show folks that you mean business, that you're not
afraid of anybody, and you stand for what you believe in.
But you don't you can't, as I said earlier, when

(01:13:58):
that's wavering, when that can be compromised, no one takes
you seriously. And there's a reason why you can't support
Mom Donnie, and you can't reject him, because you know that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
The radicals they outnumber you, and you are politically done for.
You're scared to death. You know your time is limited.
Like the maniacs serrens, they're in control. They run the asylum.
So all I can tell you we'll get it to

(01:14:34):
more of it when we return.

Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
We got our between rounds winner one hundred and fifty
five million dollars forever source bills. Whoa baby? Wait till
you find out what they're spending thirty million dollars for
a policy they abandoned.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
Let's get to weather and traffic and of course news.
Jason Catarina is back, and so is Mark Christopher. He's
in the BPS traffic said, how you doing, boss?

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
It's Reese on the radio.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
And don't say we didn't more you on News Talk
ten eighty w T I see, I see.

Speaker 6 (01:15:07):
Sorry my bad. We're back. Uh, and it's time for
our contest. When er, of course, between bounds.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
And congratulations goes to Lisa H. I guess I could
say Lisa H. G from Thomaston, Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
She is our recipient of a dozen bagels a month
for six months, courtesy between rounds, the Bagel Bakery and

Substack, read some of my old stuff, become a subscriber,
so you can, you know, find out something that I
wrote about.

Speaker 6 (01:16:00):
You know, some people are calling it, uh, what is it? Rambling? Nonsense?

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
I think one critic critic called it. And by the way,
I appreciate the criticisms. That's my first time venturing into
the writing world. So saying anything about my writing means
that you took the time to read it, and that
I appreciate that means you took the time.

Speaker 6 (01:16:26):
Can I say this, Roland, I.

Speaker 4 (01:16:27):
Don't know if you if you know this about me,
but I wouldn't take a take a moment of your
time to to spress my I don't think that these
folks are ready for somebody like me that embraces hatred.
I don't think. I don't think they're used to that
because most people think that when you say something hateful.

(01:16:49):
You know how people ort me, I can get their
back up.

Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
It's like, what do you hate to me? But me,
I actually encourage the hatred, like, oh, you want to
hate on me? You want to you want to rasp me? Like, yes,
bring it on? Is that not normal for these people today?
Are they not used to that?

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
Starting?

Speaker 8 (01:17:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:17:05):
Well, I don't think they are. No, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:17:07):
I think that they are so used to whatever vile
that they vile, comment that they shooted somebody, they expect
somebody to be offended by it.

Speaker 6 (01:17:17):
But I don't. It's for me. It's like what you
took the time I had to get used to the
whole culture up here.

Speaker 7 (01:17:24):
I thought people were just personally being mean to me,
not realizing it's just it's just a it's just a
culture thing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:30):
Yeah, but you know what I thought for a long time,
maybe for a long time they thought that it had weight.
So it's like, you don't what I I'm I'm kind
of the hater that's worse than usually.

Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
I was like, hate on me. Oh, I'll teach you
how to hate. I'm really good at it. But yeah,
I like you hate my writing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Thank you for reading let's get another checko whether and traffic.
A man who cannot be hated upon because he is integral.
He is the mecca of traffic in the Connecticut region.
Mark Christopher's in the BPS Traffic Center.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
How are we doing, sir Reese on the radio on
News Talk ten eighty w T I C.

Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
Yeah, baby, and we are back with more news and
more views that you can shake a stick at one
hundred and fifty five million dollars is going to be
borrowed to take care of the ever source problem with
the question is will it take care of it? And
why is thirty million dollars going to ev mandates? I
don't evuh stations. I have no idea, but we'll talk

(01:18:29):
about that coming up. Let's get to your phone calls
at eight to zero five two two w T I C.

Speaker 6 (01:18:34):
What's up, Tony? What's up?

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
Sir?

Speaker 8 (01:18:38):
Hello boy?

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
I can't believe all the minutes of commercials you guys have.

Speaker 6 (01:18:42):
Okay, board uh, let's go to Tim and Hampden. Who's next,
what's up?

Speaker 8 (01:18:47):
Sir?

Speaker 16 (01:18:49):
Well?

Speaker 14 (01:18:49):
Good? After that, I have two things first three, I'll
start off with the little bit lighter thing about the
the basketball team and everything like.

Speaker 6 (01:18:59):
That you know even know their name. You don't even
know their name.

Speaker 4 (01:19:06):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait, Tim, you don't even know
the teams only only professional basketball team, you don't know
their names.

Speaker 14 (01:19:15):
That's where I disagree, because you know, uh, the Yukon
women are professional athletes.

Speaker 4 (01:19:22):
I'm not disputing that, but they're not Okay, they're not
in the pro ranks. They're a college team.

Speaker 6 (01:19:27):
But no, don't get me wrong. I will listen. I'll
share this with you.

Speaker 4 (01:19:30):
And I said this when the Connecticut son came, you know,
wasn't officially named a team in Connecticut. My first question
was I was always under the impression that Yukon Women's
was the Bee's knees around here. I almost feel like
they were going to not get as much shine as
Yukon's women because that program is just so stellar.

Speaker 6 (01:19:52):
It's like, you know, they are it.

Speaker 14 (01:19:56):
Yeah, but the WNBA is also very new. You remember
just a few years ago, Brittany watch it a grinder? Yeah,
with wear in Russia having to you know, make extra
money and stuff, she couldn't survive. She was the top
player of all one of all time in the NBA

(01:20:16):
and just go play Russian, you know, to make some extra.

Speaker 3 (01:20:19):
Money and everything like that.

Speaker 14 (01:20:20):
It's a new it's a new emerging UH league and everything.
But I want to be able, you know, to see
those games on a consistent basis. Wat channel are they
on who they playing.

Speaker 6 (01:20:32):
I would agree with you in a sense.

Speaker 4 (01:20:34):
I would agree with you in the sense of if
you keep the Sun in Connecticut, you gotta move them
to Hartford. That's just my view that that's my view
that Mohegan Sun is just too out of the way.
It is like if there's a complaint about the team,
it's about the distance of which you have to drive

(01:20:55):
to get to see them.

Speaker 20 (01:20:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:20:58):
Absolutely, you know those those Sunday nights or you know
Monday nights or for a family or four is it's
a rough it's a rough thing.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:21:07):
But the problem was, you know, har Hartford, you know,
didn't know what to do with with the with the
Civic center. I'm still call him it a civic center,
you know, and everything. You know, this was a facility
that crashed in during a heavy snub storm, so they
had to start from the beginning. So so what happened,

(01:21:28):
they don't rebuild.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
It and everything.

Speaker 14 (01:21:30):
All the concerts, you know, go down to the me
being and fun and then they lose all this money
they could have gone and stuff there.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
Yeah, and nobody's and I know no one in the
Mohigan is going to relinquish any of that to anywhere
else once they had a foothold on all of the
concerts coming to their arena.

Speaker 6 (01:21:48):
So it's like, I don't want to give up that money.

Speaker 14 (01:21:50):
Yeah, but but I also I don't want corporate uh
socialism either. And that's what it would be if we're
going to spend a lot of money and everything state money,
you know, to support the team. It's like you got
me in a hired police here, because you know, it's
a private organization and everything. They can do whatever they
want to. Not quickly switching around here, did.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
You hear what did you hear what they're doing in
d C with the with the with the Commanders, with
their football team.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
In d C.

Speaker 4 (01:22:20):
They're gonna make the they're gonna make they're gonna make
DC taxpayers put in a billion dollars for the new
Commander Stadium a billion. The taxpayers are gonna be on
the hook for.

Speaker 14 (01:22:30):
Well, that's what I appreciate about Craft. You know, when
they were doing all that stuff about you know, coming
down the Connectic and everything. All he said was just
give me money, you know, stay money for the roads. Yeah,
and that's all you know, you don't, I'll put everything
else great. You have all your you know, big concerts
and all that stuff, even bigger concerts, you know, in

(01:22:53):
stadium concerts, they're great.

Speaker 8 (01:22:55):
Make your money and.

Speaker 6 (01:22:55):
Everything like that could have been a big deal for them.
What was the second thing you wanted? That's got you
want to chime in about.

Speaker 14 (01:23:01):
You know, it's just this idea of Trump. First he
sends really his own personal lawyer now and you know
it was defending him in case down to interview.

Speaker 8 (01:23:13):
Maxwell and everything like.

Speaker 14 (01:23:15):
Kind of that's a little hanky.

Speaker 6 (01:23:18):
I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
I'm I'm agreeing with you that it's a little bit hanky.
But I will say this beyond a shadow with doubt.
I don't know what the interview was, but I can't
wait to find out that way. Yeah, I'm just as
interested as you are into what he found out or
what the conversation was about. But like I said, I
don't don't pooh pooh it until you know what's going on.

Speaker 14 (01:23:41):
Well, you know, he's sitting there like a clown saying, well,
I could, I could pardoner and all that stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
He was asked, he was what is it that?

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
What's this stretch of imagination you folks get with a
guy saying asking him, did you think?

Speaker 3 (01:23:59):
Hold on?

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
But he said, look, look look the guy who asked
him a question, had you have you thought about.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
Giving her a pardon? And his immediate answer was I
hadn't thought about that. So that's the answer that turned
into hold on? That turned out but wam what did
that turn into? It turned into Trump is considering giving
a pardon to Gallaine Maxwell.

Speaker 14 (01:24:22):
Come on, dude, it's a it's a you know, it's
an unforced.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
And it's not an unforced error for the guy to say,
I hadn't thought about it.

Speaker 14 (01:24:32):
And then you take her from the prison in Florida
where she lives. Now you're taking her to a I
call it a John Rowland prison. Work on your backhand,
she'd work on your tennis backhand and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:24:45):
The place that she was in in Florida, she was
able to do yoga and to jog. I don't know
any prisons that do that I've ever heard of.

Speaker 14 (01:24:53):
The going down to Texas is a less you know, secure,
you know, prison, So they're hardly making her a an
example out of it. Out of it, like I said,
and the families, the families are.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
You know, screaming, you know, saying what are you doing?
What are you doing?

Speaker 14 (01:25:08):
That he's gonna he's making a lot of unforc hers.

Speaker 6 (01:25:12):
And call it, call it what you will. But I'm
just waiting until she testifies, which we think. I think
is coming really really soon.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
In front of Congress.

Speaker 6 (01:25:21):
Oh yeah, without a doubt. I think that's.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
Happening very yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:25:25):
Yeah, I hope they have a delay on that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:25:29):
Let me, I gotta get out of here. Let me
go to some others. Let's go to Fulton. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
Fulton?

Speaker 21 (01:25:36):
What's up?

Speaker 19 (01:25:37):
So?

Speaker 15 (01:25:37):
How much is this NBA? You think it's set up?

Speaker 6 (01:25:39):
I think if that.

Speaker 15 (01:25:40):
Team goes to Boston, like the Celtics Lakers of the eighties,
you already got beast fare. That's kind of like the
manic Johnson kame like heartsos over to Boston.

Speaker 16 (01:25:49):
Is she the I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:25:52):
I think that Listen, this is it's weird enough.

Speaker 4 (01:25:56):
But Boston, if they play at the TD Bank Garden,
which is more than likely where they're playing. They'll have
their own practice facility. It's right in the heart of
the city. People will go and see that game. We
know that it was to sell our crowd the last
time the Connecticut Sun was there. I think that was
done as a test, as a test run, to see

(01:26:17):
what that was like. And sure enough, it paid dividends
for them.

Speaker 6 (01:26:22):
And it's a smart move unless if and I believe this,
if Connecticut really wants to take a shot at keeping
them in in Connecticut, they've got to move to Hartford,
and they gotta pay them what they gotta spend the money.

Speaker 19 (01:26:35):
To do it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (01:26:38):
I just say, like I think it was like a
set up. Everything's kind of the draft happened. I mean,
they trade away the best player in the league in
lamber One, right, I don't.

Speaker 14 (01:26:52):
Know, then goes there, you know.

Speaker 15 (01:26:54):
Donovic Clayton, he goes up to Portland. Still won't love
gave me the Portland guy. I'm just saying it touched
up a lot like the women are being a mental gate.

Speaker 8 (01:27:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (01:27:04):
I don't know if anybo.

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
Sees that or I think, listen, Boston, Boston made a
pretty good play on this. If the WNBA has its way,
they don't go because then Boston's got to wait until
twenty thirty three to actually get a franchise, which will
then hurt Connecticut in the long run because people will

(01:27:28):
more than likely go to the new franchise than you
see to see the Sun and it will hurt that team.

Speaker 15 (01:27:37):
Have they test games and those other markets though, like
if they sold out because Boston sold out.

Speaker 6 (01:27:42):
Yeah, Boston sold out. But that's again I don't know.
I think that the Mohegan, the Mohegan placement is bad
only and nothing against the Mohegan is just that it's
bad because if there are true fans, they've got to
travel a considerable distance. Now, what can change all of that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:06):
Is a train serve like the Yankees stew or or
the Mets stew or just anybody like from the Bronx.
You can take a metro north from the Bronx right
into Yankee Stadium and right and Westchester as well, right
into Yankee Stadium during the during the season. So unless
they do something like that, I don't know how viable

(01:28:29):
it could be.

Speaker 15 (01:28:31):
I'm just saying with the referee being for I like.

Speaker 22 (01:28:36):
You were right, You're like, wait a minute, you just
got thrown on the floor. Yeah, I'm like, while the
fancy that's all a same and they said you don't
work great bird.

Speaker 15 (01:28:54):
Uh you know, b.

Speaker 6 (01:28:58):
Yeah, I will admit the refing. The refree jobs are
definitely something to behold. I don't know what's going on.
It's really bad.

Speaker 22 (01:29:10):
Like what's going on? You're like, I didn't see it.

Speaker 8 (01:29:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 18 (01:29:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:29:14):
Yeah, they don't see. They don't see double dribbles, they
don't see walks of travels, they don't see anything. It's
a mess. Thank your fault that. I appreciate you. Let's
go to Stephen Newington. Hello, Stephen, go.

Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
On what's going on right now in the political arena.

Speaker 4 (01:29:36):
I don't know, Steven. I apologize. Just I'm not doing
this today. Go elsewhere, anywhere anywhere. We're not gonna go
back and forth with the changing and the name and
all that. Now, We're just not gonna do it. I
appreciate you, you know, but I'm just not. I'm not
gonna play the game. But I appreciate you trying, you know,

(01:29:57):
put in the old good college try. By the way,
I want thing. Christy t she just posted my article
in the Connecticut Sentinel. Connecticut votes blue, but ditches ideals
for tantrums. That's the title of the article, talking about
the Connecticut Sun and all of the things that they've
pretty much gone by the wayside to protest.

Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
Nonsense, I mean, straight up nonsense. They're not even the
Democrat party anymore, even for Connecticut standards, which used to
be really easy and really simple. Now they've got this
group Indivisible that's at the helm.

Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
They're big up here. Oh it ain't big, And no
one seems to know. I know that there are some
people out there, and if you are, you don't have
to call me.

Speaker 6 (01:30:44):
I don't you know.

Speaker 4 (01:30:45):
I know you listen, but you're not a fan, And
that's all great. I'm glad you listen anyway. But you
have to ask yourself. And I'm really I'm appealing to
you if you have any sense of what's righteous in
your plight, any sense? Don't do you ever ask yourself?

(01:31:09):
Why can't we stay focused on anything and accomplish that? Like,
I know, you all can walk and chew gum. That's
the Democrat's favorite line. You guys say that all the time.
We can walk in chew gum, But you can't. Like
it's evident you can't. You don't focus on the thing
and actually get results. It's just that you're looking for
a new thing to be outraged about, and outraged politics

(01:31:31):
are over. You tried it in twenty twenty four, Remember
the threat to democracy? You were screaming and hollering about
the threat to democracy?

Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
What did it get you?

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
And your boy Chris Murphy, who by the way, is
getting tens of millions of dollars in donations, is all
across the country still screaming about threat to democracy, a
failed platform. And when I ask people what this threat
to democracy is, which, by the way, please try tell

(01:32:02):
me what the threat to democracy is.

Speaker 6 (01:32:06):
I got a minute, so I'll let me explain to
you what I found out.

Speaker 4 (01:32:08):
So I went on groc on X and I brought
the I bought the premium package to argue with the
AI and ask what are the threats to democracy? And
the AI kept coming back talking about elections, election integrity.

Speaker 6 (01:32:27):
Explain to me the election integrity argument?

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
You know what it was?

Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
Donald Trump refused to conceive the twenty twenty election. How's
that a threat to democracy? I asked, and they went, well,
you point out it's a good point. I was like, well,
didn't they question the integrity of the election in twenty sixteen?
You make a good point there, and then they tell
you then they talk about norms in the judiciary, criticizing judges,

(01:32:59):
and I went, wait a minute, it didn't Chuck Schumer
threaten Neil gorsicch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Speaker 6 (01:33:04):
And the AI said, you know what, You're absolutely right
that that did happen. And I was like, what what else?
What else are threats to democracy and everything? It came
out when it turns out the Democrats.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
Did the exact same thing, and the AI had to
concede you one hundred percent right that is, I said, okay,
without all of the talking points, can you point out
whether or not it's true that Donald Trump is a
threat to democracy or is it just platitudes from the left.
And it came back, and just like white Mike said
here on the show when he tested out, it came

(01:33:37):
back and it says it's true.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
Stayed in race on the radio is on wt I
see News.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
When we get back, we're going to talk about this
one hundred and fifty five million dollars loan the state
of Connecticut's going to get in order to take care
of the ever source bill.

Speaker 6 (01:34:01):
And it's insane because this.

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
It's crazy that part of the money has to be
paid back right, It's gonna have to be paid back
by you know, taxpayers, not just ratepayers, taxpayers gonna have
to pay it back. But the fact that they've allotted
thirty million dollars to the ev boondoggle that they rejected,
I mean they they walked away from it. The fact

(01:34:30):
that we're going back there baffles the hell out of me.
It just doesn't make any sense. And the state is
promising one hundred dollars a year in savings on your bill.

Speaker 6 (01:34:48):
One hundred dollars a year on your bill.

Speaker 4 (01:34:51):
According to many estimates, this isn't gonna save anybody any money.

Speaker 6 (01:34:58):
And I when we come back, I have to to
talk about the true people who are not paying their
fair share. Who would have thunk? You know who you are?
You dead beats. I know some of you, and you're
falling on hard times. I get it. This isn't about that,

(01:35:19):
But there are some dead beats out there.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
You know it, I know it.

Speaker 6 (01:35:22):
Everybody knows it. You dead beats. Let's say how much
you go. You believe that you should be paying your
fair share.

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
That's the whole thing. Everybody needs to paid it fair share.
If you're paying nothing, you're not paying your fair share.
You need to be shipping into this a little bit.
So yeah, we'll talk about that. I got a whole
detailed itemize, detailed breakdown of this thing. Craig in the
car says, nobody wants to go to downtown Hartford at night,

(01:35:54):
talking about if the Connecticut son were to come to Hartford.

Speaker 6 (01:35:59):
I would assume.

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
That police presence would be in downtown Hartford at the
exits so that people, revelers and you know, uh, attendees
at the basketball.

Speaker 6 (01:36:14):
Games would safely be able to leave the game and
go home.

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
And we're not talking about a rowdy crowd. It's not
like the NBA crowd. This is the WNBA. These crowds
are much more subdued, way more sophisticated.

Speaker 6 (01:36:34):
Ladies.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
Even those folks aren't gonna be running around, you know,
pulling down lamp posts, you know, starting fires.

Speaker 6 (01:36:47):
The likelihood of that is slim to none.

Speaker 4 (01:36:50):
They're not going to be a bunch of drunk women
with their daughters bashing people over the head with beer bottles.

Speaker 6 (01:36:56):
You're not gonna see that.

Speaker 3 (01:36:59):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:36:59):
I know, I'm not certain, I'm not positive, but I've
got a I've got a pretty good sense of this
that w NBA fans are not gonna be the same
as w I mean as NBA fans, especially in Connecticut.
Even the the the girl dads are not gonna be

(01:37:19):
out there, you know, tussling with other girl dads from
opposing teams.

Speaker 6 (01:37:25):
I sincerely doubt it. It's just not that kind of vibe.
Has anybody ever seen a.

Speaker 3 (01:37:32):
Brawl like that?

Speaker 6 (01:37:33):
Let's get to what they're in draffic with Jason Catarina
and Mark Christopher in a BPS draffic center. Can you
imagine can you imagine?

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
Wait?

Speaker 6 (01:37:43):
Wait, what's that word? Brawl?

Speaker 2 (01:37:45):
Brawl?

Speaker 6 (01:37:46):
I can fight? Yes, Can you imagine a w n
B A crowd coming out of the People's what is it?
Is it People's Bank?

Speaker 19 (01:37:54):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
What is it?

Speaker 6 (01:37:55):
What's the new arena?

Speaker 4 (01:37:56):
Yeah, People's Arena, the People's Bank. Are people coming out
from a w NBA game? Do you think they would
ever be as rowdy as NBA fans?

Speaker 8 (01:38:06):
Why not?

Speaker 10 (01:38:07):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (01:38:08):
Look at look at the w Look at the w
n B A. It's getting as physical as the end.

Speaker 6 (01:38:12):
I'm not lying that thing has turned into pro wrestling.
It's like watching glow like gliously. I could see that happening.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
Really, you would think that the fans the dad, but
the dad girl or the girl dads would be out
there brawling at the end of the game.

Speaker 13 (01:38:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
I was.

Speaker 23 (01:38:28):
I was loading into a gig in Grotten on Saturday morning,
and I was at the Mystic Hilton there and the
and the the New York Liberty was staying there. I
walked in and I saw these really wicked tall women.
I'm going, that's got to be the New York Liberty.
I know they're playing at the Mohiggan Sign Mills. These
women were like three times.

Speaker 6 (01:38:47):
The size of me.

Speaker 23 (01:38:49):
I was like, oh my god, what did they Did
they hip check you or something? No, no, no, they
were kind of they were just kind of chilling out
looking at their phones. But the bus was coming to
pick them up to bring them up to the Moti
and Son. I think it's a done deal. They're going
to Boston, and I think so too.

Speaker 4 (01:39:03):
But I think the w NBA is gonna stick a
little foot on the scale on this one. I don't
think they want to leave because if Boston doesn't.

Speaker 16 (01:39:10):
Think, why wouldn't they want them to leave?

Speaker 23 (01:39:11):
They're going into a bigger market, a bigger arena, it's
a it's a pro sports town.

Speaker 4 (01:39:18):
Wants the last word, they want the last word on this,
and Boston's not due for a franchise.

Speaker 3 (01:39:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:39:25):
Yeah, the more reason to move them because the the
w n B A and as in any business, it's
all about money and there's gonna be a lot more
money to be made in Boston. Plus Peguili, the minor
lority owner of the Celtics. I wish he was actually
the big owner, but he's not. But he's gonna build.
They're they're they're saying they're gonna build one hundred million

(01:39:45):
dollar training facility, so that that steals the deal for me.

Speaker 6 (01:39:49):
I think they're they're I think they're gone. Me too, Yeah,
I do too.

Speaker 4 (01:39:51):
Unfortunately, before I go to the phones, I want to play.
I'm not playing.

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:39:55):
I want to talk about this real quick, but just
bring mention to it. If you're interested in looking it up,
please do, and I'd love to hear your feedback on it.
If you can send me a message on x, Facebook,
anywhere you want to, but I'm gonna post the video myself.
Rod Stewart was a huge part of my growing up

(01:40:17):
music wise. When I worked at a grocery store part
time when I was a homeless kid, that's how I
used to make money. I listened to Rod Stewart. They
played Rod Stewart's songs all the time. It's a big
deal back in the eighties. And I can say that
I've never had anything against him. I always thought he was,
you know, pretty good artists. People liked him, you know whatever.

(01:40:37):
But he's got a concert that he's doing now and
he did something on stage. I'm gonna find the link
and I'm going to post it on Facebook. But what
he did on stage was after the recent death of
Ozzy Osbourne, he put this video montage of an AI
generated Ozzy Osbourne with AI generated people in the music

(01:41:00):
industry who had passed away. It was sort of like
showing Ozzy Osbourne up in heaven with all of the
artists who have passed away in the past and that
untimely pass it. And it goes on to show him
with a selfie stick, you know, videotaping himself with the
likes of Tupac Shakur, Whitney Houston, h what's her name?

Speaker 6 (01:41:25):
What's love got to do with it? Why am I
forgetting her name?

Speaker 4 (01:41:28):
Tina Turner, Tina Turner, Angela Bassett played in the movie
Tina Turner. I said, Freddie Mercury, Freddie Murphy, George Michael,
Michael Jackson, and Prince and it's again, it's it's a
loving tribute to Ozzy being there with all of these
great musicians kind of from Rod Stewart's era who passed away,

(01:41:52):
with the exception of Tupac. And I think this rapper
whose named Triple X Extencion I'm not familiar with. My
wife knows who he is and when the kids know
who he is, but he you know, he took his
own life a couple of years back. But I looked
at the imagery I've saw it. Kurt Cobain is one
of the people on air, as I mentioned Freddy Murkhy
and it's all showing them smiling and in essence sort

(01:42:15):
of being in heaven, showing them very peacefully and lovingly.
But there are people who are protesting this video, which
doesn't make any sense to me, like this is some
sort of desecration of their memory. The video, I'm watching it.
I can't even hear it. I'm looking at the video
and Ozzy. They show Ozzy as a very very young Ozzy,

(01:42:40):
and everyone looks beautiful. Michael Jackson is smiling, Princess smiling,
you know, Whitney looks beautiful, and it's just kind of
remembering them and when they were at the height of
their career.

Speaker 6 (01:42:54):
And it's a beautiful gesture. And I don't understand how
that would be would cause backlash. Some people are just stupid.
I just don't get it. You don't even need to
be upset about this. Haven't you forgotten about the you know,
some of the people I saw on there just went
you know, I totally forgot Tina Turner's no longer win Us.

(01:43:16):
Totally forgot about that.

Speaker 4 (01:43:18):
And it's nice to see them and they all look iconic,
like in the way that you remember them from the
eighties or whatever time in which they were really really popular.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
Let's go to Rick on the line. Hey, Rick, Rick,
you're there? Okay, maybe not all right.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Let's go.

Speaker 6 (01:43:35):
I'll take Frank and Bristol. What do you got, Frank?

Speaker 20 (01:43:39):
I was listening to your program just a second ago,
and you were saying, what's wrong with this protest that
people have of all of these artists.

Speaker 4 (01:43:50):
Yeah, all of their past was showing them with Ozzy
Osbourne smiling, laughing, and you know, in essence, showing them
in heaven with smiles on their face is sort of
looking back at the crowd.

Speaker 6 (01:44:02):
It just looks sweet.

Speaker 20 (01:44:05):
Okay, now, I know you have read the Bible, maybe
in parts correct, sure, and so heaven belongs to who God.

Speaker 8 (01:44:17):
Your Lord Jesus Christ?

Speaker 20 (01:44:19):
Yes, right, yes, Now what have these people done for
the Lord Jesus Christ? Have they mentioned him at all?
Have they said they have been born.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
Again to go to his heaven?

Speaker 6 (01:44:37):
Princess?

Speaker 20 (01:44:38):
That's the protest?

Speaker 4 (01:44:40):
I don't think, I don't think, Frank, Frank, wait, with
all due respect, we can't possibly know the intentions of
the protesters here. They have other than their outrage. They
have not expressed their devotion to the Lord. I mean,
there's no way to gauge that.

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
Okay, So so.

Speaker 20 (01:45:00):
If that isn't if that is not their protest, then
they have no protests.

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
That is valid.

Speaker 6 (01:45:07):
I agree.

Speaker 20 (01:45:08):
If their protests, that's why. If their protest is that
they were not saved, they didn't give their life.

Speaker 1 (01:45:17):
To the Lord.

Speaker 20 (01:45:18):
They were not concerned about the things of heaven. If
that is their protests, they have a valid protest.

Speaker 4 (01:45:25):
Right, But what's I mean, what's wrong with If I
may asked, Frank, just listen. Maybe maybe I'm looking at
it from this perspective. Okay, the people that are shown
on the screen brought joy to many people over the years.

(01:45:46):
Some of them still continue to listen to these artists
music today.

Speaker 6 (01:45:51):
Seeing them on the screen.

Speaker 20 (01:45:52):
Give them, give them something that is natural to what
they're doing.

Speaker 14 (01:45:58):
Not heaven.

Speaker 20 (01:45:59):
Because Michael j didn't believe in heaven.

Speaker 6 (01:46:02):
He didn't, No, I thought he was a Jehovah's witness.

Speaker 20 (01:46:07):
Jehovah winners don't believe in heaven.

Speaker 6 (01:46:10):
I thought they didn't believe in birthdays.

Speaker 20 (01:46:13):
No, sorry, they don't believe in Sharon blood. Okay, they
don't believe in Eastern Christmas whatever. Yeah, but they don't
also believe in heaven.

Speaker 6 (01:46:27):
But isn't unfair.

Speaker 4 (01:46:28):
No, I'm just saying that, Frank, and I don't know
what your musical tastes are, and I don't know if
you've actually listened to or celebrated any of the people
I mentioned. Freddie Mercury, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Prince or
any of them. I'm not sure what your relationship, if any,
is with their music.

Speaker 24 (01:46:47):
But there are some of their music is in my
mind because I grew up right right not listening to them,
but I had to listen to as I'm turning the
radio or whatever, especial Tina Turner, who was in my
day before.

Speaker 20 (01:47:01):
I gave my life to the law where I started
listening to it. But I cannot get them out of
my mind because you just don't erase your mind. I
don't want Alzheimer's, so they're still in my mind right.

Speaker 6 (01:47:13):
But you have I'm assuming you have some ethical issues
with those people I just mentioned.

Speaker 20 (01:47:19):
No, I don't even I don't believe in ethnology because
it is a lie. You and I have had this conversation.
If you look at a type and paper, it's white.
You look at tar it is black. You nor anyone
else is black or white. These are constructs.

Speaker 4 (01:47:36):
Oh, when I say ethical, maybe you may have misunderstood me.
When I say, in essense, what these people stood for
in life, you appear or you appear to take some
issue with that they were not.

Speaker 20 (01:47:51):
Or what they stood for and what they stood against.
And if they were not for the Lord in why
like George Floyd, why paint him as this perfect human
being who committed all these crimes?

Speaker 11 (01:48:09):
Right?

Speaker 20 (01:48:09):
Yeah, So that's an ethnic thing for some people, so
that they could validate their blackness. But if the person
is standing against the Lord, why should anybody who know
the Bible present them as a person who is going
to heaven? Because you've made all you must also put

(01:48:30):
Hitler in that same category.

Speaker 6 (01:48:32):
Everybody that oh yeah, anybody, Okay, take it for clarifying
because I was like, Hitler didn't believe in God. But no,
I got your point.

Speaker 4 (01:48:40):
In that sense, if everybody who passed away it reaches
the pearly gates, then Hitler obviously.

Speaker 6 (01:48:45):
Must apply, right, absolutely, Yeah, I got no. No, you
listen to me. I'm going to say this, Frank, and
you have every right to so I don't want you
to think that I begrudge you in any way.

Speaker 4 (01:48:56):
I totally respect your point of view in the sense
of people should not In your view, people should not
just be exalted or just propped up to heavenly grace
just because because if that's the case, we can.

Speaker 6 (01:49:15):
Put anyone there I get you.

Speaker 4 (01:49:17):
I get you absolutely, and that again for many people
that does make sense, but I don't. I don't see
the protest here, but I get your point. Nonetheless, thank you, Frank.

Speaker 6 (01:49:27):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (01:49:27):
Give me a holler, but I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (01:49:30):
You got it, sir.

Speaker 4 (01:49:31):
Frank is an avid listener, rarely calls, but you know
when he if he finds something that he's interested in,
he'll jump in. Again, I said, my view is I
looked at the video. I'm gonna actually grab the link
now and post it on Facebook so you can see
it yourself. I again, for me, I'm looking at it

(01:49:51):
going you look at it and you just go, oh,
it's It's sweet in its sense of showing them in
a picture. People used to do this with t shirts
back in the day, and some of them have been tacky.
Can I tell you about the most tacky one, Roland?
This one's tacky?

Speaker 6 (01:50:13):
Oh is it tacky? So there were two instances.

Speaker 4 (01:50:18):
As many of you know, my broadcast career began on
September eleventh, two thousand and one. That day and the
events that took place is what started my career in radio.
And I was at Washington Square Park after and there
were two tourists who walked.

Speaker 6 (01:50:38):
Through Washington Square Park.

Speaker 4 (01:50:39):
In fact, the proximity of Washington Square Park is about
a mile and a half north of the World Trade Center.
In fact, if you stood in Washington Square Park, and
many of you who did, if you stand in the
middle of Washington Square Park and look straight down Sullivan Street,
if you look up, you can see the Twin towers

(01:50:59):
directly down the street, so you can walk to it
about a mile and a half, maybe even two miles.
So after the towers went down, many people came to
New York to visit Ground Zero.

Speaker 6 (01:51:12):
That's what it was referred to as.

Speaker 4 (01:51:16):
And I'm standing in Washington Square Park, still a little
traumatized in the events after they took place, and I
always feel like I kind of had.

Speaker 6 (01:51:24):
Some issue with everything that I witnessed that day. It
was really rough to get over.

Speaker 4 (01:51:31):
But these people were walking and it was a couple,
an older couple wearing the same blue hats and blue scars.

Speaker 6 (01:51:39):
It was like a nit pullover cap and both caps
read the words ground zero.

Speaker 4 (01:51:49):
And they were talking to other people in the park
and they were showing off pictures that they had taken
of themselves standing in front of the rubble like going
to the Grand Canyon. And I will never forget I
lost it on these people, I don't think. And I

(01:52:10):
did the most New York thing you could do. I
cursed this couple out and said, we're not a tourist attraction. Dude, Like,
what do you even here for? You're wearing hats that
say ground zero? What do you think happened here?

Speaker 6 (01:52:22):
People died? Thousands of people died. This isn't a joke.
I was so outraged by it.

Speaker 4 (01:52:31):
But then it got worse because two weeks before September
orletmos even know more than that. Yeah, August twenty fifth
of that same year, R and B singer Aaliyah died
in a plane crash. Now I know I was responsible
for that whole plane crash bit, I'm not gonna get
into that. Nonetheless, there were people selling T shirts with

(01:52:56):
the ghostly image of Aaliyah over the Twin Towers, which
gave the impression she had died there.

Speaker 6 (01:53:05):
It was just the most insane thing that people were
selling those T shirts at Ground Zero of all places.
I just thought it was and I thought that was
the most reprehensible thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
So when I look at this is the celebration of life,
or celebration of artists who have touched our lives, I
don't get it. But that ground zero thing.

Speaker 4 (01:53:24):
That was a bit that's too far, just saying, let's
get another check of our news with John Silver.

Speaker 10 (01:53:32):
Yes, she is.

Speaker 3 (01:53:36):
Plane crash.

Speaker 8 (01:53:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:53:37):
I can tell you a very very horrible story about
her record label and her boy.

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
You will not usual.

Speaker 23 (01:53:44):
That's record labels.

Speaker 6 (01:53:45):
Yeah, record label, you would doub believe it. I'll tell
them when we get back.

Speaker 1 (01:53:48):
All right, it's Reese on the radio on wt i
S News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 6 (01:53:54):
I just want to let everybody know who's sending me messages.
You guys are the best, all of you. I love
you all.

Speaker 4 (01:54:02):
Y'all's did. Actually it's in the chat room, and he says,
got to get paid. Reese in talking about people selling
paraphernalia after the the towers were attacked on September eleventh.

Speaker 6 (01:54:14):
It's absolutely true, Raymond. He says, forgiveness is for everyone
who is this man to judge. You know, this is
kind of where we are. Also, Mattio says, I don't
believe that I thought I just thought that that was
the protest.

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:54:33):
Also, Joey P.

Speaker 4 (01:54:34):
Says one does not get does not get to heaven
by works, meaning one cannot earn their way into heaven.
One can only get to heaven through putting their trust
in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Speaker 6 (01:54:49):
And Robert B.

Speaker 4 (01:54:52):
Writes, if Jehovah witnesses don't believe in heaven, then who's
knock knock knocking on Heaven's door?

Speaker 6 (01:54:59):
Sorry, I had to. I appreciate it because I got
a good laugh out of that one, so I keep
from coming. I love you folks because you are hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:55:08):
Let me tell the quick Aliyah's story, and I won't
get into the whole nonsense. But this is really, really
a very horrible story. A lot of people don't know this,
but you know, if you are into that music business thing,
I want you to look this up because it's verifiable.
Aliah's passing was dude. She was to filming a music

(01:55:31):
video in a Bermuda, Barbados, something like that anyway, and
a plane crash happened when they lifted off and a
plane had too much weight, and of course crash, causing
her death as well as many others who are on
the plane, and a lot of people did not know
that Aliyah was made to go do this music video

(01:55:51):
for a song called rock the Boat because sales of
this album were abysmal. It had been out for over
four weeks and it wasn't selling. It was really it
was not doing well at all. And after her death,
this was actually said by your record executive at her
label after her passing. This is their exact quote. They said,

(01:56:17):
to be honest, that album was sue doing so bad.
I'm surprised they didn't throw her off a plane. Was
the actual quote. And even I said, damn, that's how
cold that music business is.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
That was what was said.

Speaker 6 (01:56:33):
And everybody who knows it, and I don't care to
anybody says, come back at me if you want to.
You know, you said it. That was the way they
treated it. That's a horrible thing to say, but that's
how they treated it.

Speaker 4 (01:56:45):
They were not even sad, but anyway, and then the
album went platinum after her death, which was again that's
another start. Let's get another check of weather in traffic
with Mark Christopher in a BPS traffic center.

Speaker 6 (01:56:55):
How you doing, sir, I'm doing real good reason right,
there rock the most, and I think that was one
of the best songs on the album.

Speaker 3 (01:57:03):
Good song.

Speaker 1 (01:57:05):
Race on the Radio is getting ready to drop some
knowledge on w T.

Speaker 6 (01:57:10):
I see, we're back Reese on the radio. Let's get
to a couple of phone calls, Marks and windsor how
are you sir? Mark you there?

Speaker 3 (01:57:24):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (01:57:24):
Mark you there? What's what's the boss man here?

Speaker 10 (01:57:28):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:57:28):
I wanted to kind of see if you would get
a read on this state trooper. They call him the
top to guy that spit in the yes journalist face. Yes,
I think that is they let him retire. I think
that's disgusting. Yeah, I think that the department and the
command staff they took a huge black day. It staned them.

Speaker 4 (01:57:53):
But but I don't think that now, first of all,
that let's let's take all of this in consideration, because
this is a very very important development that I told
people when I discussed it on the eighteenth. That was
when I told I did a whole monologue about it,
opening monologue on July eighteenth, and at the end of
that monologue, I said that he was going to have

(01:58:14):
to go to take a break and leave the department, which,
of course he ended up doing.

Speaker 6 (01:58:19):
And was allowed to do.

Speaker 4 (01:58:20):
But the story's not over, Mark, by no stretch of
the imagination is this over. There's still a pending case,
and the Internal Affairs is looking into his actions, not
just the spitting, but also the fact that he came
at him with his.

Speaker 6 (01:58:38):
Weapon, saying because again, remember what this is.

Speaker 4 (01:58:43):
What's supposed to be believed in this story was that
the officer Fahi was under some form of physical threat
by Rayes, which in the video describes nothing of the sort.
He approaches him at a great rate of speed while
he is backing away. In fact, from the moment he
tells him to get off the property, Rayes, he does

(01:59:06):
what he's told.

Speaker 6 (01:59:07):
He follows orders, and he can't say.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
He goes back in his house and retrieves his gun
exactly and leaves the safety of his home exactly. There
was no threat, but he leaves his home and runs
after exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:59:21):
And even if it's even though he's walking, he approaches Fate,
I'm sorry. He approaches Rayes at a great rate of speed,
even for walking, while Rayes continues to back up and
walk away, so he's confronting him with a weapon in
his hands, while saying that this guy is a threat
to him and screaming that he threatened to get So

(01:59:42):
what is he there for?

Speaker 6 (01:59:43):
If you know, what should have been done was secure
his home and his family, contact the police, secure the
perimeter of his home, make sure that Reyes does not
return to his property, and protect himself. But no, he
engages with him. And I'll go so far and see
if you agree with me on this one.

Speaker 4 (02:00:01):
Remember what every argument was about George Zimmerman and Trayvon
Martin when he was following Trayvon and the dispatcher said,
we don't need you to do that.

Speaker 6 (02:00:14):
Do you remember that argument? That was a huge argument
saying we don't need you to do that.

Speaker 4 (02:00:19):
And they're saying that because he received those instructions, continuing
to pursue him was where George Zimmerman was in the wrong.
So let's make that same assumptions with Fahey, he tells
him to get off the property, there's visual that he's
leaving the property. You go inside, retrieve a weapon, and
then approach him while he's continuing to leave. You are

(02:00:41):
in hot pursuit of a guy who followed your instructions.

Speaker 3 (02:00:48):
Yep, I agree, I agree, And if anything, he prevents
it he stalls him from.

Speaker 6 (02:00:54):
Leaving exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:00:57):
If because he could have stayed in this high there
was no need to secure anything. I mean, the man
wasn't the Rays, He wasn't there to threaten them or
you know, do him any harmonies exactly, So maybe some
uncomfortable questions, but he was back in the safety of
his home, and you know, he could hide there. He was,
you know, he was hiding inside his home. But he

(02:01:19):
chose to escalate the matter. But I think it's I
think it's poor, poor, extremely poor leadership and professionalism for
the governor's office and for the state Police command staff
to have allowed him to retire, to even have that
be able to do that, because to me, it says

(02:01:41):
the state police says, they can spit in your face. Yeah,
and if a troopers as long as you don't have
a camera there. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:01:48):
And I think, like I said, they got they've got
a pr nightmare on their hands because first of all,
this guy Rayes, like his tactics are not, is unrelenting.

Speaker 6 (02:01:59):
This guy is a dog, like a dog with a
bone on this.

Speaker 4 (02:02:03):
He knows he has fay, He dead to rights on this,
so he's not gonna let it go to allow this
guy to it's got you know again, just when you
think he has to walk away from it, I know
he is going to escalate this to higher ranks and
going to say look what this guy did and showing
the videotape. Everybody is going to see that and go,

(02:02:25):
this guy had no reason to pursue him while he's
leaving the property, and as he's saying with his hands elevated,
you know, let's go to the hands up, don't shoot,
you know narrative. He's got his hands up in the
air telling an officer with a gun in.

Speaker 6 (02:02:41):
His hand, I'm leaving right, you know. And so all
of that goes.

Speaker 4 (02:02:46):
It pushes back on all of the nonsense you've heard
from the left over the last ten fifteen years.

Speaker 6 (02:02:51):
And this guy is able to just walk.

Speaker 3 (02:02:53):
I would have I would have a real problem reading
a State troopers comment report today. Yeah, you know, because
they let him walk away with that. And if Fay
were writing it, I bet his report is he was
on the phone with nine one one and he told

(02:03:14):
him that he threatened his life. Yep, and we know
we saw he never did that. Yeah, then he's you know,
and then he spits in the man's face. Yep. I
mean that is the most that is one of the
most vile, disgusting.

Speaker 4 (02:03:26):
It's it's reprehensible, even in a fight.

Speaker 3 (02:03:31):
In a fight, I could not see doing that.

Speaker 6 (02:03:34):
You know the part mark about this that really drives
me up the wall. Let me let me tell you this.

Speaker 4 (02:03:38):
We brought up a good point earlier talking about how
Fay he was on the phone inside of his house
contacting the police.

Speaker 6 (02:03:45):
Now I want you to think about this.

Speaker 4 (02:03:46):
Okay, you have an officer on the phone with the
department saying that a person has trespassed on his property
who has threatened to kill him.

Speaker 3 (02:04:02):
M hm.

Speaker 6 (02:04:04):
Tell me in any other world, in any other.

Speaker 4 (02:04:06):
Scenario that doesn't put sirens up and hundreds of police
officers running to the aid of one of their fellow officers.

Speaker 3 (02:04:17):
He had eight cops there. He got eight cops there
exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:04:22):
So with that scenario, knowing that you have the backup.
I'm an officer of the law, even though I got
a desk duty. I'm a former state trooper. I've been
in the field. I've worked for the for the department,
or as a state trooper. What twenty years he's got
He's as a veteran, and this guy knows everybody that
is anybody. And I call on the phone and I say,

(02:04:43):
I got a guy threatening me at my home, a
cops home, and you don't think that there's a you know,
there's a legion of police officers waiting to get there
to render you aid. And you decide to leave the
comfort of your home and go pursue the guy. And
you're gonna tell me. And it's caught on camera and
they're gon know, just allow this to slide.

Speaker 6 (02:05:01):
It can't. It looks embarrassing for the whole department, everybody.

Speaker 3 (02:05:05):
That whole shift, that the whole that entire grotend shift
that that had to have been there because there were
eight or nine police cars. I wonder how many are
on a shift.

Speaker 6 (02:05:16):
Yeah, it's a great it's a great point.

Speaker 4 (02:05:20):
And again I just say, look, you got this is
one of those things where I said it over and
over again as a supporter of the police, as a
supporter of the guys in blue. This isn't about that.
Because again I can sit up here and just rail
say that's how cops do. I'm not that stupid. We
saw the exactly. We don't do that we are talking

(02:05:40):
about the incident that took place between Fahi and Rayes
and what we saw and everybody else. And this is
where the Groton Police Department can show that, Look, when
one of ours does wrong, we do the right thing.
We hold him to the same standards we would any
of our officers in that situation. Is one, you don't

(02:06:02):
pursue the threat once the threat is off your property,
you've contacted the police. You don't pursue the threat with
the gun and spit in his face to exacerbate the situation.
Where because what are you spinning in his face because
you're hoping that he's gonna swing on you, which.

Speaker 6 (02:06:18):
In essence gives you now the one Yeah, I was
just gonna say, it gives you the right to use
your weapon.

Speaker 3 (02:06:25):
Yeah, that's what he was trying to do. He was
clearly and he was setting he was he was setting
him up in the worst way.

Speaker 6 (02:06:31):
That's Look, I'm sorry, I don't know what was in
his mind, but how do you not come to that
conclusion in that situation because everything he did was wrong?

Speaker 3 (02:06:41):
Yes, and and and contrived and manipulative. Yeah, and I would,
I would. My question is how many UH attorneys how
many people incarcerated behind this trooper, this nut? Yeah, how
many of them are having their attorney look at their
cases and safe. See the dude is a liar, you see,

(02:07:03):
the dude is manipulative. See, there are issues that should
be looked at.

Speaker 6 (02:07:08):
That's a very good point because and again you don't
you don't help the situation with anything that he's done.
Like I said, he's lending the idea that this guy
may have done other things and because of his hot temperedness,

(02:07:28):
may put into question any arrest he may have had.
But maybe that's the reason why they have two choices here.

Speaker 4 (02:07:36):
Either they investigate this particular case and hold him accountable
and think that it's all going to go away. But
I gotta be honest with you, ray As has he's
got he's got momentum because his interaction with the UH,
with with the Governor ned Lamont.

Speaker 6 (02:07:55):
Because I didn't get to see it, but I read
about it.

Speaker 4 (02:07:58):
This guy's going for broke because he really does think
he'd Ned was and Ned was rude.

Speaker 3 (02:08:04):
He was rude, and I was really really disappointed. I mean,
I'm not a fan of ned Lamont, but I was
disappointed in his demeanor I mean, he lost a lot
as a gentleman because I think he should have he
should have listened to the man. Yeah, and you know
what as a professional king estate and he has a

(02:08:24):
legitimate concern and that is a very I mean, what
this trooper did is a well what fay he did
is disgusting and Ned should have listened to it.

Speaker 6 (02:08:34):
But that's the point and not go back to the
hypocrisy of Ned Lamont.

Speaker 4 (02:08:38):
Here's a guy who wanted to reform the police department
of the police in the state because of the actions
of an officer that's not even in his jurisdiction.

Speaker 6 (02:08:48):
Okay, in the George Floyd case.

Speaker 4 (02:08:49):
So here he's got a case that again he can't
address and he refuses to which again just flies to
the case face of who Ned Lamont is out. He's
got nothing to say when it doesn't have anything to
do with him.

Speaker 6 (02:09:03):
He's all talk.

Speaker 3 (02:09:06):
I agreed and uh and and and did the same
thing with the commissioner there. That guy he comes in
and you know, I can't remember exact word for word,
but he was looking to be an element, a change person,
you know, and a decision maker. And this is front
and center. There's no way that the uh Brian. He

(02:09:29):
should not have had that operation, He should not have
had any option.

Speaker 6 (02:09:34):
I think that you know, allowing him to say, arrested.

Speaker 3 (02:09:37):
Him and they should have fired and he should be
he should have been.

Speaker 6 (02:09:41):
Well, I'll put it to you this way.

Speaker 4 (02:09:42):
If this publicly, I would say, this would if the
pr nightmare continues for the department or for you know,
for his higher ups, then something must be done. And
outside of that, I'm just gonna say Rays has a
pretty good civil case, because again it's all caught on tape,
so that's probably what's gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (02:10:03):
Thanks Mark Man, always good talking to you. Man, Yes, sir,
you got it man, you too.

Speaker 8 (02:10:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:10:08):
I mean, look, I watched it a thousand times.

Speaker 4 (02:10:12):
I knew that there was gonna be a retirement as
soon as I saw the tape and everything there was
going to be.

Speaker 3 (02:10:18):
All right.

Speaker 4 (02:10:19):
Listen, buddy, you gotta walk away. You know, we'll, we'll, we'll,
we'll make it okay. But you've listened to this show
long enough. And I don't know whether or not the
elements here are just backwards by nature or the way
in which they do things. I don't know, but I'm

(02:10:42):
trying to address a culture of getting it wrong. I'm
trying to correct that, and this is how you get
it wrong. You got to be proactive this this sort
of trying to cover it up, save face, put a
band aid on a bullet hole.

Speaker 6 (02:11:04):
Those days are over and you gotta come at it
head on.

Speaker 4 (02:11:10):
This nonsense of way in which the way in which
people deal with media, media types, people you don't like, right,
I know that. You know it's really really cushy up
here in Connecticut because no one's gonna hold anybody accountable.

Speaker 6 (02:11:26):
No one wanted to touch this story.

Speaker 4 (02:11:28):
Everybody was behind the eight ball on this story until
it went viral, and then everybody else pretends.

Speaker 6 (02:11:34):
Like, yeah, we're always on it. You were a week late,
and now it's out of your hands.

Speaker 4 (02:11:40):
And now if you don't address it now, if you
don't talk about it, you're going to still looked like
you had no interest or you didn't know any better.
And this is gonna look bad and there are people
who are gonna have to pay for it. It's a
bigger scandal now because people didn't know how to deal
with the scandal in the first place. And that's one
first thing you do is you own up, and you would.
I said, head on, you go right for it. That's

(02:12:02):
the way you gotta do it. All this cowering and
running away and want I can't answer you right now,
call me. I'll talk to you in private. Those days
are over. Those days over. And that's why ned Lamont
looked as bad as he did. You look like you
have the rug pull from under him because he did.
Because he did, and whoever didn't tell the governor about it,

(02:12:24):
shame on you because you look flat footed.

Speaker 6 (02:12:27):
But what else is new?

Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
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 wt I See News Talk
Tenady and tap earlier today to get started.

Speaker 4 (02:12:40):
Normally, I would tell you what happened was, but I
totally forgot. We didn't do Hollywood News. It's my favorite
part of the day. I'm always excited to do Hollywood News.
I know some of you hate on it, but I
don't care. This is actually weird that this is happening.

(02:13:06):
If you've been listening to me doing Hollywood News, you
notice I've been talking about a lot of sequels, a
lot of remakes, The only reason why I pay attention
to those stories is because it shows me that Hollywood
is broken, just as an entire medium.

Speaker 6 (02:13:22):
It's broken.

Speaker 4 (02:13:22):
They won't try anything new, they won't go in another direction.
And it's the reason why places like Angel Studios is
doing so well because all of their stories are new,
a lot of them are faith based, and they do
millions and millions of dollars and they do. But regular
Hollywood is just forget about it. They're gone, it's over,

(02:13:42):
and this may be another case of it. On June nineteenth,
twenty twenty six, will be the release of another wait
for it.

Speaker 6 (02:13:54):
Toy story film. Toy Story five.

Speaker 4 (02:14:01):
Is bringing back Tim Allen and Tom Hanks for another
go around. This time they're going to confront a world
where kids favorite gadgets over toys and reinforcing family bonds, loyalty,
and the value of tradition in a changing society. That's
what the movie is going to be about, coming in

(02:14:21):
June of twenty twenty six. And I went to go
look up when the first Toy Story came out in
November of nineteen ninety five, and the age group, the
marketing age group for that First Toy Story or the
Toy Story movies are from ages four to twelve, and

(02:14:45):
that means that when this movie comes out, the ages
of people who saw the first Toy Story will be
thirty four to forty three. That will be the age
group of the people who watched the first Toy Story
movie back in nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 6 (02:15:08):
Next year. That's how old they'll be.

Speaker 4 (02:15:10):
If you were four to twelve years old in nineteen
ninety five, you will be thirty.

Speaker 6 (02:15:15):
Four or forty three in that rage.

Speaker 4 (02:15:18):
And I'm trying to figure out, would you take your
kids to go see Toy Story five? You'd have to
see all four of the first films, doesn't make sense.

Speaker 6 (02:15:26):
She already did?

Speaker 4 (02:15:27):
You already had her see it? Yeah, but your daughter's
like a late teen? Would you take her? How old
you're gonna be, like seventeen when this comes out?

Speaker 6 (02:15:35):
Sixteen sixteen? Would you take her to go see Toy
Story at sixteen?

Speaker 3 (02:15:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:15:40):
Really you think she'd still be interested?

Speaker 3 (02:15:43):
Ah?

Speaker 6 (02:15:43):
Yes, I guess so absolutely. I guess so my wife
may be tak her to go see LEL and Stitch.
So I guess that makes sense.

Speaker 10 (02:15:49):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (02:15:50):
Ah, but I just thought I found that interesting of Davie.
I mean, goodness, gracious, some of them would be close
to being grandparents. Let's get a checko traffic in weather
Chase it.

Speaker 6 (02:16:04):
Oh, Jason Gallerina is out, Bob Larson's in, but Mark
Christopher he's in a BPS traffic center. I know you've
at least had the kids watch Toy Story.

Speaker 23 (02:16:12):
Oh yeah, I've seen. I've seen a couple of Toy
Story movies. I've actually seen it. I've seen that series.
Can you believe that that we're up to thirty years?
We're up to the fifth installment? That's crazy?

Speaker 6 (02:16:23):
Is that wild?

Speaker 3 (02:16:24):
Now?

Speaker 10 (02:16:25):
Now?

Speaker 23 (02:16:25):
I love Nader the rusted out toad trucks, so do I.
And there's a Mador on Route two in Preston, right
before Foxwood's on the left if you're going down toward Foxwoods.
It's uh, just sitting there on the left. So my
buddy's got grandchildren. So I said, hey, hop out of
the car, we'll take a picture with Materer you and Mader.

Speaker 6 (02:16:44):
Oh they have like a little replica nat on the
on the way. It's not a replica.

Speaker 23 (02:16:48):
It's just an old, rusted out toad truck that just
parked on the side of Route two. It looks like
it's I pressedon just prior to the Foxwoods Resort casino.
So I go by there and I said on my buddy,
he's got grand children saying, hop out, we'll take a picture.
I'll make it look like it's made or from toy story.

Speaker 6 (02:17:06):
So I love that.

Speaker 14 (02:17:08):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (02:17:08):
Everybody?

Speaker 3 (02:17:09):
You know who it is? Who is you know?

Speaker 6 (02:17:11):
It's us on the radio, Frederick Douglas of the twenty
first century.

Speaker 1 (02:17:16):
It's w t i C News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 6 (02:17:20):
All right, we're about to get up out of here.

Speaker 4 (02:17:22):
I didn't get to the one hundred and fifty five
million dollar story that Connecticut's borrowing, but we'll talk about
it tomorrow. I've got all of that and so much more.
We also just got about an hour ago that criminal
indictments are on the way for Russia Gate, So stand
by for that. That's going to be huge h for

(02:17:44):
who is going to be sent to or whose names
are going to go to the grand jury.

Speaker 6 (02:17:49):
That's an important thing.

Speaker 4 (02:17:51):
Also on the toy story front, bush Whacker says, I
saw the first toy story in Disney World. Steve ee
V in the chat room says the results speak for themselves.
Toy Story four made one point oh six eight billion worldwide,

(02:18:12):
which was just two million higher than Toy Story three
in twenty ten.

Speaker 6 (02:18:20):
Unadjusted for inflation.

Speaker 4 (02:18:22):
It's now the second highest grossing Pixar film of all time,
behind Incredibles two.

Speaker 6 (02:18:29):
So okay, I guess that just prints money. I get it,
but I'm just trying. I'm like, I think I've.

Speaker 4 (02:18:37):
Seen two Toy Story films. I haven't seen anything after
that because I feel like I aged out.

Speaker 6 (02:18:45):
In nineteen ninety five. I was twenty six.

Speaker 3 (02:18:48):
Even then I.

Speaker 6 (02:18:49):
Thought I was too old.

Speaker 4 (02:18:51):
Well, I was sixteen and I saw the Transformers movie
the cartoon. But think about it, I was a geek. Okay,
that movie had some important names in it, all right.
It was voiced by the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Robert
stack Orson, Wells Chudnilson. But nonetheless there were names attached

(02:19:13):
to that movie. Okay, seem you guys forget about that.
I was sixteen.

Speaker 6 (02:19:22):
I sat back in the theater with my girlfriend Colleen
in the Bronx that same movie.

Speaker 4 (02:19:28):
Theater would be shot up at the premiere of Godfather three.
It made all the papers national attention. Some of you
might even remember that story. Let's get to the phone
so we can get up out of here. Let's go
to Jeff and Marlborough. How are we doing, sir?

Speaker 21 (02:19:45):
Yeah, I'm doing all right.

Speaker 3 (02:19:46):
How about you, buddy?

Speaker 6 (02:19:46):
I'm all right? So what's up?

Speaker 19 (02:19:49):
So?

Speaker 25 (02:19:49):
I got a question. I'd like to phrase the question
in two parts and then have the answer please.

Speaker 3 (02:19:56):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 25 (02:19:58):
My first thing is, you know, one to two months ago,
did he not veto a bill regarding increasing affordable housing?

Speaker 3 (02:20:09):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (02:20:09):
Or no?

Speaker 25 (02:20:09):
That okay? And not that i'mfordabill. I just want the facts.

Speaker 6 (02:20:16):
Yeah, a little.

Speaker 25 (02:20:17):
I'm not sure I heard the story right. So then,
in response to Donald Trump wanting to get homeless people
off the streets and put them in the treatment programs
and whatnot, he says, I believe he said something akin
to criminalized.

Speaker 6 (02:20:33):
Criminalizing homeless people is not.

Speaker 25 (02:20:36):
A criminal act. You know, we need more affordable and
we are working on that. So he vetos a building
and encourages affordable housing, and then he says, well, you know,
mighty ned to the rescue, we are working on that.

Speaker 6 (02:20:53):
It's again, this is the This is exactly why it's so.

Speaker 4 (02:20:59):
Important for me to be there, because what you just
pointed out, not one person in the media who's in
a press conference with the guy even brought it up.
It's like they just it's the biggest story that this
guy was handing out vetos that now has him in
a position where he's going to be primary primary should
he run. And then he comes out there and says, oh,

(02:21:22):
I'm against big bag Trump, and that one person is
brought up what you just brought up?

Speaker 6 (02:21:26):
No one, that one I haven't even thought about it,
says hey, buddy, didn't you just veto an exact plan
that that sort of exacerbates the issue that you're in
right now. And he doesn't, and no one even has
the guts to ask him. They just set up there
and not agreed with him. Yeah, big bag Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (02:21:42):
Absolutely and anybody would have for brain knows that it
looks ridiculous.

Speaker 25 (02:21:50):
He he basically said I don't want to touch this
issue two months ago, and then now he says.

Speaker 4 (02:21:54):
We're all over it, bohy, because it gets him to
put see, I'm fighting against Trump aggressive.

Speaker 6 (02:22:00):
See that's all it's about.

Speaker 3 (02:22:04):
That's ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (02:22:05):
Yeah, it's dumb. So was that was that all your
questions were, sir?

Speaker 3 (02:22:11):
I think so pretty much.

Speaker 6 (02:22:13):
You got it, man, I appreciate you, sir. Let's go
to Adam and he's hard for How are you, Adam?

Speaker 25 (02:22:20):
You're always great to talking my friend reason what's going on?

Speaker 3 (02:22:22):
Sir?

Speaker 16 (02:22:23):
And I listened to you Friday Afternue and your wife, Hey,
Joanne Maxwell.

Speaker 14 (02:22:28):
I know Trump didn't do it, but he should not
let her out.

Speaker 25 (02:22:31):
He should not give her a pardon.

Speaker 14 (02:22:32):
It would be uh, I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:22:33):
Want to say political suicide, but would not be a
good thing.

Speaker 8 (02:22:36):
Right.

Speaker 4 (02:22:36):
Well, he's a lame duck anyway, but I do take
your point. He loses a lot of political capital even Yeah,
I'll put it to you this way. I think that
the way in which he's gonna go about this. And
I'm just spitballing here, so I don't know this for certain,
but if I'm looking at the calculus of this from

(02:22:56):
the Trump administration, I want as much as I possibly
can to utilize the information she has in a way
that politically helps me if I have to.

Speaker 6 (02:23:11):
What I mean by that is, don't use her for
political reasons.

Speaker 4 (02:23:15):
You only use her if indeed she's got something that's
worth presenting. If she's got nothing, there's nothing to use right,
it's like, you know what, this is bogus, and I'll
just tell everybody here's what she had and this is
why it was of no use to us, and just
use it that way. I don't have to let her
out of jail. I don't have to give her any
sort of immunity. But if nothing, if she's not offering

(02:23:36):
up anything that's going that's worthwhile, why would I take
any h what do you call it?

Speaker 6 (02:23:41):
Uh, give her any sort of provisions for her testimony?
I would say nothing.

Speaker 4 (02:23:47):
I would say, you know what, we'll uh, we'll put
you in a cushy prison, but just still staying locked up.

Speaker 6 (02:23:52):
But immunity or a pardon, No, I don't think it's
worth it.

Speaker 3 (02:23:56):
Not no, not for trup.

Speaker 25 (02:23:58):
You hit the nail right in the head and keep
up the good work and I'll keep listening, all right.

Speaker 6 (02:24:01):
Always a pleasure, sir. Let's go to David windsor how
are you, sir?

Speaker 8 (02:24:06):
Going your self free?

Speaker 6 (02:24:08):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (02:24:08):
Man on the sun?

Speaker 21 (02:24:12):
You know you made it into a political thing, but honestly,
it's it's just about money and it's about market And
I give a lot of credit to the Mohegans for
bringing them up in two thousand and three for ten million,
and the league is growing, and uh, there is a
something underway that I read about Lemon is speaking to

(02:24:33):
some group. They're not offering as much money as the
group in Boston, but they are talking about relocating them
to Harford and also putting a training.

Speaker 6 (02:24:46):
Facility in Let me ask you this, Dave, real quick, Dave,
I'm gonna let you finish, But I just want to
ask a question about about the part about Mohegans, because
you you it sounds like you like the idea, is
that correct?

Speaker 4 (02:24:57):
You like the idea of keeping them in the Hartford
but taking them out the Mohican sun.

Speaker 6 (02:25:00):
Do you like that idea?

Speaker 21 (02:25:02):
Well, yeah, and I'll tell you why, because it's again
it's economics. It's so different than what happened with h
with the whalers back in the day.

Speaker 8 (02:25:10):
Right of course that was that was.

Speaker 21 (02:25:11):
A municipal extortion that carmonas. Yeah, and uh, you know
with these guys, and it's the same thing craft municipal extortion.

Speaker 6 (02:25:20):
Right, But let me ask me.

Speaker 21 (02:25:21):
Let me these guys they're billionaires and they got it
and they got to go and start extort money from
you know, governments and taxpayers the from there, you.

Speaker 6 (02:25:30):
Know the bullet there.

Speaker 4 (02:25:33):
Let me ask you this on the front about taking
them to Hartford as opposed to the TD Bank Garden, right,
what if they go to Hartford, the deal that they
are going to lose out on is over three hundred
million dollars. That's what the Mohegan tribe is going to
get from this. The article that I was reading today

(02:25:54):
from from mass Live says that, look, if I'm the
Mohican son, I'm looking at that going that the w
n b A and ned Lamont are undercutting the Mohegan
Tribe for a crapload of money. They've got agreed, like
if they got a choice here to who they're gonna
sell it to, Clearly you're gonna go for the big
money because you know there are other you know, factors

(02:26:17):
into that money. I don't think that they're gonna sell
it for a cheaper price to go to Hartford when
they have a chance to make big bank going to Boston.
What do you think of that angle as far as
the Mohegan Sun.

Speaker 21 (02:26:27):
Is concerned, Well, again, what I read was the offer
was in a three hundred million dollar range.

Speaker 6 (02:26:34):
Oh for them to go to Harford, yeah, oh okay.

Speaker 21 (02:26:38):
Yeah, no, No, the Mohican is they're gonna No, I mean,
you know again it's it's it's economics, you know, right.
But the offer was less, uh, you know, less than
than what they're William put out in Boston. And you
know the unknown is uh, you know, maybe these two
games that they sold out that might have just been
an an right, you know. And the other thing is

(02:26:59):
they have gotten fans support. They have sold out the
season tickets for next year and they average almost nine
thousand people at ten thousand Seed Arena. Just again, as
the league grows, players demand more money. No different than
the ah the Whalers. You know, salaries started to go up,

(02:27:19):
ticket prices started to go up. They were still putting
twelve thousand, top thousand people in that place, but it
couldn't be sustained. The market is not going to sustain
the salaries that these guys started to demand in that
time frame.

Speaker 6 (02:27:34):
Well, let me ask you this on a marketing level.
Let me because it seems like you're you sound pretty
much involved in this in the sense of you've been
following it deeply. But let me ask you this. Do
you think that even though they're like the Mohegan Sun.

Speaker 4 (02:27:46):
I think it's just over ten thousand seats hard for
they have a likelihood that.

Speaker 6 (02:27:51):
I think it's a little more than that or is
that under that? At the at people's four okay, so parting.

Speaker 21 (02:27:58):
About fourteen thousand, Okay, a little bit more once they
remodel it.

Speaker 6 (02:28:01):
Right, so you got about fourteen thousand.

Speaker 4 (02:28:03):
Now, what I'm asking you is and again no wrong answers,
but just from what you know, if they were based
in the capital city, do you think they have a
likelihood to sell more seats because they're in close proximity
of places like Meridan and Bristol and everywhere else that
they they'd again increase their fandom.

Speaker 21 (02:28:21):
Yeah, I do, okay, I do. I agree, Well, they'd
be able to consistently put nineteen thousand people into the
into the Boston or Garden.

Speaker 8 (02:28:31):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 21 (02:28:31):
That's that's the unknown. Again, it's a bigger market, and
they might that's that's a decision for them to make.
But it's gonna be strictly based on economics.

Speaker 6 (02:28:41):
No, I think you're right about you know that they.

Speaker 21 (02:28:42):
Can get their return on investment, then they're gonna do it. Yeah,
I think to the WNBA and whether they're gonna jump
the other people in line and move the franchise.

Speaker 4 (02:28:52):
No, you want one hundred percent about the bank because
the truth is nineteen thousand that's a tough road. Dahoe
as a new franchise, even though they are the Connecticut
Son and what they be doing is moving. They probably
get a new name and the whole thing the names
would be the same the Fano of course, you know
they did have that one. You're right about the anomaly

(02:29:13):
point nineteen thousand dollars for a WNBA team if they're struggling,
like if they're in the bottom tier of like their division,
the likelihood that they're going to fill up that arena
to nineteen thousand a night that they they play at
home is highly unlikely.

Speaker 6 (02:29:30):
For Boston. Boston is a winning town. It's title town,
and if you're not doing well, people don't show up.

Speaker 8 (02:29:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (02:29:38):
The other thing to consider up there is that the
Bruins get.

Speaker 8 (02:29:41):
All the money.

Speaker 21 (02:29:42):
Oh yeah, are Celtics don't make anything from the concessions? Yeah,
Bruins make all the money.

Speaker 6 (02:29:48):
Yeah, indeed they do.

Speaker 21 (02:29:50):
There's that part of it too. Put on the comment
the firing that Trump did Uh, yeah, I've never heard
of anything so crazy. Bureau statistics.

Speaker 6 (02:30:03):
Yeah, bls, the Bureau of Labor Statistics. You think that
was a wrong move to fire?

Speaker 21 (02:30:09):
