Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just a week, Oh, just a week, Janine was asking.
He's like, I'm only booking for one week, so I don't.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey, yeah, they should calm down. The show is about
to style on the radio.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Turn it up, turning it up, turn it up loud.
Did like a dream come true.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Up. Due to the nature of this program, discretion does
not exist. It's Race on the radio right now on
w T I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, whoa, let's go, and what's going on all you
scully wags.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Nutmegas.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
All across the fruited plane.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
It's time. It's Teresa on the radio on wt I
see News Talk ten eighty and yeah, I got I've
got a whole bunch of stuff to get into today.
And I'm really really excited to be out there in
a little bit because I have so much to do,
so many people to see, so many coffees to have.

(01:39):
It's unfortunately I don't drink, so it's like I gotta
go out and have coffee and dinner, socialized, go to meetings.
Hobnob if you will. I'm not a hobnobber. I try
my best to I'm cordial, but I'm really really excited
to do it. Because I get to talk to so
many people, hang out with so many people I like

(02:01):
and enjoy, who make me laugh and they rip me.
They're like real friends. It's been a long time since
I had those. I want to give a shout out
to Craig and the car true buddy, extraordinary, And it's

(02:26):
one thing. I'm gonna talk about this a little bit
later because there's a lot of people that I can mention,
and then there will be a lot of people that
I might forget. I will do my best, try to
try not to or don't want to go through a
whole list. It's not that you know, those of you
who are in the shadows don't matter. You all do listeners,
all of you who appreciate the show. It's not that
I just want to kind of give a shout out

(02:47):
to some people who have helped me along the way.
And I'll explain the reason why I want to sort
of give them that shout out, because what they do
is not self serving. It is selfless, and I totally
identify with it. I will start off by just saying this,

(03:11):
and then i'll explain later. When I had my first
show back in two thousand and eight, two types of
people called the show when I got there, people there
to correct me, and then those who did not want
me to not be informed. In essence, they were there

(03:34):
to help, not hinder, not criticized. And the first guy
that did that for me, because I never experienced that,
was a guy by the name of Gene Pinkham who
lived in Boston now is in Arizona and he listens
to the show now and again. So Jeane is like,
I always referred to him as our good friend, Jean Pinkham.
And when I say our good friend, the guy didn't

(03:55):
know me from a hole in the ground. And the
only thing he wanted to do, nevertheless, to my show.
And I didn't know anything about me, but he liked
the show and he wanted to help. So behind the
scenes he was letting me know details about what was
going on in town and made sure that add the
inside scoop, who was this person, why they were relevant, this,
that and the third. And he wanted to do it anonymously,

(04:17):
and I couldn't let that stand. I had to show
him his respect. And I've experienced that here. Maybe it's
a new England thing, but I've experienced the year WT
I c and that's the reason why I want to
acknowledge those people, and I'll do that in a bit.

(04:38):
But I got to get to a subject that I
used to get ridiculed about. I used to get yelled
at about this issue, and I, in my naivete, didn't
understand why my concern for this topic drove people nuts,

(05:01):
because in my view, I was like, that makes no sense.
It seemed like people were dragging themselves across hot coals
to be compassionate about.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Something that was ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
It was like they forgot where they came from, or
didn't realize the importance, or far worse, they were lying
deep down. I felt like they were not being honest.
And then Roland sent me this headline from WFSB. It's

(05:40):
not even a WFSB story. The story comes from WAFF
all the way down in Alabama. But when I saw
the headline, I said, okay, let me investigate. Here's the
story that has since gone viral everywhere, and the outrage
makes no sense to me.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
This mandate requiring all truck drivers to speak English has
actually been on the books since the nineteen thirties. Now,
the president and CEO of the Alabama Trucking Association tells
me that guideline from the Obama administration loosen enforcement and
lowered penalties. Now this executive order brings back that original
mandate and we're already seeing Alabama state troopers enforcing it.

(06:25):
This is a ticket written by a state trooper in
the cam County against a truck driver from Texas.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
This one the driver was from Florida.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
What they have in common, The tickets say the drivers
couldn't speak English.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
The English language proficiency standard has been there for a
long time.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
These are some of the first tickets issued after the
President's executive order reinstated enforcement and penalties in late June.
Mark Colson, the President and CEO of the Alabama Trucking Association,
says the order reverses an Obama administration memo and now
takes the driver off the road.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's all about safety. It's all about being able to
read the rules of.

Speaker 8 (06:59):
The road, being able to communicate with law enforcement in
the general public.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
Huntsville truck driver Jose Raia says he wasn't surprised to
already see tickets written this bilingual, first generation American says
he's had to translate for drivers who have been in
accidents before.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I think it would be a shock to a lot
of people.

Speaker 9 (07:21):
Drivers are out here on the road, they're operating, you know,
eighty pounds. It's super dangerous, and they can't communicate, they
can't read road sign That's where the safety part of
it comes in is being able to get those drivers
off the road because they can't read or write basic English.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Critics of the mandate say this could take drivers off
the road in an industry that's already facing a shortage.
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance recommends all drivers who are
pulled over to be able to speak English on a
list of topics about their current job, as well as
read all road signs.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
And they're having to.

Speaker 9 (07:52):
Use Google Translate to be able to, you know, talk
to people.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
And you shouldn't have to do that.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
You shouldn't have to do that. But people are outraged
because they're calling this discrimination. But I'm of the ILK,
like many who would be outraged about this, I'm of
the ILK that says, walk a mile in another person's shoes.

(08:22):
Would you flip out if you were a truck driver
in China and you did not speak Mandarin or Cantonese
and you were given a ticket because you couldn't understand
those road signs. What would happen to you if you
got a trucking job in Beijing and you couldn't understand

(08:43):
what was on the.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Road and you needed to get somewhere, what would you do?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
You'd have to pull over at every road sign, put
it up on your screen and read. Imagine that. Could
you work, could you operate? Could you make a living?
Of course?

Speaker 10 (09:00):
Not so?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Why why is.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
It different here in the United States?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Again, I never understood the outrage about this, with people
constantly telling me, well, America is not an English speaking country?
Why not? Why isn't it Over ninety percent of the
people who live here, and that's not a joke, Over
ninety percent of the people who live here speak English

(09:32):
at least speak some form of it. Yeah, sit up
here and tell me that that's outrageous to ask that
everyone be able to speak it, especially operating a truck
or machinery on the road anywhere. Why isn't this standard
met for I don't know. Let's uh, I don't know.

(09:53):
Why Why are we told that we need to learn ebonics?
Why are we told that we need to learn Dutch?
Why aren't we told her we need to learn Swahili. No,
we all have to understand. Come on, you know what
it is, Spanish? We all have to learn that. Why

(10:14):
aren't we speaking of which? Why aren't we taught to
learn uh, Portuguese. There's a lot of so called Hispanic
regions that speak Portuguese. Ah, why aren't we made to
learn that? Do you know what's the second most spoken

(10:35):
language outside of Spanish in the country, Chinese Mandarin or Cantonese.
Why aren't we made to learn that? Why don't we
have press two for Mandarin, press three for Cantonese since
we already have pressed you know, one for English. I'm

(10:56):
just saying, why is everybody always telling us that we
have to adhere our country has to adhere to other
people's languages, But it's never demanded.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Of populations that are larger than ours.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Come on, We've got three hundred and fifty million people
in this country and we are told, we are told
that we have to learn the language of the minority
in the country. But you wouldn't say that in India.
You wouldn't say that in China. Populations that are white
three four times are our size. Never. I don't get it.

(11:34):
I am sick and tired of being told that I
have to understand Spanish people walking up to me all
the times. Are you speak of Spanish?

Speaker 11 (11:43):
No?

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Where do you think you are? Seriously, where do you
think you are? And where did everybody get this arrogance?
And what's with the shame? What is with the shame
about being able to speak English? Look, I will admit
one of the things that I used to drive me
up the wall is you arrogant pieces of no not anyway,

(12:07):
people always bragging about how many languages they speak. Really,
name your daily situation where this happens. Huh at the
un Is that where you're spending all of your time? Huh? Huh?
Are you at some sort of G seven summit every weekend? No?

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I can speak five languages? Really, and how useful is it?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Do you have a job that makes sure that you
have to speak all those languages? Hah? Or is this
just easy for you to be able to communicate with
people at the local quickie marked in the hood. Now again,
I don't mean to crap on anybody, but please, seriously,
from the bottom of my heart, someone explained to me

(12:54):
why we cannot be proud to speak English? And why
we can't demand it of others who live in this country.
I need to understand it. It is driven me nuts for
the longest. And if people who are arguing this is saying, Wow,
these people are gonna lose their job. Really, they're gonna
lose their job. The rest of us have to learn

(13:16):
how to speak Spanish. But asking them to speak English
is a road too far. Really, they are here, aren't they?

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Everything around them is English.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Isn't it? So what's the big Why is it that
the demands are never on them? Why aren't we asking
them what's being asked of all of us? We lose
a job in the coal industry, learn the code right
when it's us we're taught to. We gotta learn everything

(13:51):
under the sun. These folks get penalized for putting lives
in dangers. We need you to learn English. I don't
know if I can do all that. Really, learning English
is a problem. Do we have to get everybody a
free subscription hooked on phonics? Does everybody have to get

(14:12):
like Rosetta Stone? Do we have to joge like we
have to put that in some sort of package, like
government package as a welfare program? Is that what we
have to do. Everybody has an opportunity to learn English.

(14:33):
My youngest learned how to speak Korean because the kids
in his neighborhood spoke Korean. It was Fort Lee, New Jersey,
and I'm not gonna lie. That place had so many
Koreans in it. They had a Korean War memorial in
our town, two blocks from my house. And I'll never
forget the day he walked in and he told me, Dad,
would you be upset if I learned Korean? I looked

(14:54):
at him, I went, what do you mean, why would
I be upset? He also, I think I want to
learn Korean. You're surrounded by Koreans. Of course I understand that.
I was like, are you giving up the English language? Like, no,
I just wanted to learn Korean. Sure do you think
it'll benefit I said, it'll benefit you in a job.
Perhaps you get a job working in South Korea that
would be beneficial to you.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Sure, it's okay to learn. I understand that.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
But this nonsense that we can't put the burden on them.
Why why are they so special? I've never understood this.
I had a conversation with a radio host. I'm not
gonna say any names, but I had a conversation with
a radio host and I saw it. I heard it,
and I saw it. The person was white, but being

(15:43):
a black person, I saw it. I saw the need
to lower the standards because the person we were discussing
was a black woman. That this incessant need to point
out that it was a black woman was an opportunity
to give that person a pass or to give them privilege.

(16:05):
And my response to them, as a black man, looking
them directly in the eye, I said, this thing about
her being a black woman makes her special how.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
And he immediately retreated because.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
He got it. He understood it in that one statement.
He understood it. Yeah, I am kind of lowering the
standard or rising them to unreachable heights because of something
that really has no substance. My response to WI was
so what, and it remains so what. I don't care

(16:43):
if they're going to lose their job because they're not
learning English, they don't care about their job enough, they're
not being paid enough, and they have no interest in
providing for their families if they can't just do the
simple thing like in our country, learn the damn language.
I look at you when I say learn English. If

(17:04):
you say that to me in order to do your
job that provides for your family, and you go learn English.
I go, well, I guess you don't want your kids
to eat, no problem.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
Go work at the local Bogoa Joe Biden Revision.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Go work there. Go work in an atmosphere where you
don't have to learn the language. But here you can't
work because you're putting people who speak.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
English lives in danger. Can you understand that?

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Good?

Speaker 5 (17:36):
I'm done. I'm sick and tired of it.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
And everybody else who's telling everybody who we're supposed to
be accommodating whatever happened to be in a guest in
our home. Do you think you'd be able to serve
anyone who came to your house who didn't speak the language.
By the way, if you can film yourself doing it,
good luck. We got to take a break when we

(17:59):
come back. Obviously this has sparked conversation. The phone lines
are lit up. We'll get to your phones. Don't go anywhere,
we'll be back. More news, more views, your phone calls.
It's Resa on a radio one WTIC News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 12 (18:12):
Hi there, this is Jody Rell, former governor.

Speaker 13 (18:14):
Happy birthday, WTIC oh.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Jody Rell. Nice to hear of her voice. Anyway, we're
back Reese on the radio news Talk ten to eighty
WTIC Let me just read a couple of comments here
inside the chat rooms and text messages. You guys are
going blazing on this subject. Raymond says, I speak English
and Gibberish, but more fluent in Gibberish. Donald says, I

(18:41):
can't believe I'm agreeing with you Reese. Foreigners should attend
English class if you don't speak English. Oh hey, a
clock is right twice twice a day, A broken clock,
that is. Cathy says that my son, by the way,
welcome back, Cathy, haven't in a while. My son is

(19:02):
stationed in Japan. I've been there three times in the
last three years. I've learned phrases in Japanese so that
I can communicate with them. That is the respectful thing
to do. Aaron says, how about a compromise esperanto. I
went to go look that up. I'm not really sure
what that means, but I know it's a language. I
don't think that's a good compromise. Catherine says she needs coffee.

(19:25):
By the way, She goes, you are one million percent correct.
Rama says, one of the worst things is that you
can either pick the delivery. Oh sorry, in the age
of Google Translate and smartphones, that a person can configure
their native language and there's no incentive to learn English.
That's I think that's what the report from Alabama was suggesting.

(19:47):
Bobby B says it would be pressed too for Chinese
if they bordered US and were let in illegally. Bobby
B one hundred percent right on that one. Now let's
get to the phones as zero five two two w
T I C. Let's go to somebody new. Paula is
in Simsbury.

Speaker 14 (20:05):
Hi, Paula cracking up?

Speaker 15 (20:16):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Okay, all right, so you understand that now first of all,
by the way, just because you speak Portuguese or you
are Portuguese, my stepdaughters, yeah, my stepdaughters from her father's
from Brazil, and I used to tease her all the
time and say, are you speaking pork and cheese with
your dad? And she used to be She loved it.
She loved that all the time.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
So what say you you learn the language?

Speaker 3 (20:43):
And here don't are you agreeing with me that we
at least have a universal language as English?

Speaker 12 (20:49):
In the country one hundred and ten perte. Why my
parents had the opportunity to go to school as a
learner to learn English. Even I try to teach my
mom how to speak English when I came home and
learn new words because I had to learned. Took me

(21:10):
three years to even speak English. I didn't do, not
have an access. My uncle baby went to American school
to learn speak English so they could better themselves with
a better job, or get a higher education or something
like that. I said, But when they start putting the

(21:31):
Spanish language as a second language, I'm going to.

Speaker 16 (21:34):
Wait a minute.

Speaker 12 (21:35):
Polish people, I met a Polish lady in my lifetime.
She had to learn how to speak English to be
in this country.

Speaker 10 (21:43):
I did to it.

Speaker 12 (21:44):
And what this is the language of the United States?

Speaker 16 (21:48):
It is.

Speaker 12 (21:51):
American. But if you really want to go, let's speak Indian.
You know American India now well American language.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
You know what You make a good point. Let me
ask you this. You said it took you three years
when you when you came to the country to learn English.
Now are you saying that to speak English fluently? It
took you three years? But you had worked on words
and phrases for that long. You were probably halfway along
a year and a half. But I need to ask

(22:19):
you this, did American television or radio or music, any
of that play a role in your English learning? Okay?

Speaker 12 (22:31):
Company was one of my favorites.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
You know, It's funny because as you were talking about
learning English, because again sometimes we English speakers are people
who lived here all their life and they only know
this language. Kind of take that for granted. As you
were talking. You know what I thought about and the
reason why I asked the question. Do you remember the
movie Splash with Tom Hanksen Daryl Hannah. My favorite part

(22:59):
of that movie is when she's in the TV in
the uh the TV section of the mall, and Tom
Haigks goes she doesn't speak English, and she turns around
and she goes, hello, how are you doing? And the
guy goes, I didn't graduate college, but I wasn't that
it and she said she learned it from watching television.
I thought that was so indicative of what it was

(23:21):
like to come into this country for a lot of people,
because I heard that story that thousands of times after
that movie.

Speaker 12 (23:28):
Exactly, Yes, that's how I learned how to properly speak
and music was a big influence in me back in
the seventies.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, one percent. But thank you, Paula. I
appreciate I appreciate you calling in and good to talk
to you again. You got it. So now that I'm
hearing Paula who speaks Portuguese and learned, took her three

(23:56):
years to learn and played a part like things like
Electric Company, you know, learning their numbers from Sesame Street.
I'm thinking about it, and I'm going, does that mean
that we have to get rid of Telemundo and Univision,
perhaps perhaps all the White House? If we can get

(24:18):
rid of PBS and NPR. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding,
I'm kidding. I mean, but you know what I think
about how many channels we have on television and everywhere.
Everybody can literally have their needs met with all of
these languages all over the place.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
I'm just saying, I'm just saying, let's go to Jim
and Willington.

Speaker 17 (24:42):
Hey, Jim, I'll tell you what, there's absolutely no excuse
for anybody who doesn't speak English tonot be able to
easily to learn it with all of the all of
the access and free.

Speaker 18 (24:54):
Programming and paid programming.

Speaker 17 (24:56):
Indeed, and teaching absolutely none. So on lying here is
if you don't speak English and you're in a job
that requires quite a bit of knowledge. When I say
quite a bit of knowledge, I'm talking about basic road knowledge,
basic safety. What happens if you're driving a truck that's
full of has these materials. You know, I lay this
on the corporations in the companies just as much as

(25:18):
I lay than anybody else. When you ignore a law
that's written and then allow the politics to tell you
that you're a racist or it's discriminatory to mandate a
written law, you start to under concerning English. You start
to understand why we are where we are today. Nobody
this is a written.

Speaker 11 (25:39):
Law on the books.

Speaker 17 (25:40):
If you're going to ignore state law, and then a
federal law and then the Constitution, you get exactly what
we get today. Where if I don't agree with somebody
about in this case, enforcing the law of English on
the job in the trucking industry, I have to be
I have to be described as pick you pick.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
It, yeah, exactly pick the slur for the person who
wants to You're on right, thank you, Jim Oh no,
good quickly go ahead, okay.

Speaker 17 (26:09):
And when you have, when you have the left philosophy
that expects the judges to be their law firms and
the Supreme Court to be their personal lawyers, to enforce that,
not enforce it, this.

Speaker 11 (26:20):
Is what we get.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
You got it. You're one hundred percent right, Thanks Jim
what Mark sent a great text and I want you
to think about it.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
For those of you who are on the fence.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
And I know this is look, I know this is
easy picking, this is fishent a barrel as a subject, okay,
but there are some people out there who don't think
this should be enforced, specially young people and liberal women.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
I don't know why, but it just is.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
But I want you to those of you who listen
to this show who disagree with it all the time.
What's her name? But I think it was Mia who
listens or missing? I think her name is Mia. Mia.
If you're listening, this one's for you, because you say
you disagree with me all the time. Think about this.
And Mark brings up a great point. Imagine a world

(27:06):
where Joe Biden is reelected and everybody outside of just
these CDL drivers, which Craig brought up a great point.
It's like, there's no way you could be a CDL
driver without learning English, but apparently that's happening. But anyway,
think about it. Imagine you expand that that says we

(27:27):
don't need the English language for any job. Speak your
native language and Marco's Imagine if they allowed this for paramedics, EMTs,
cops and firefighters.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
Imagine you had made they had made that case.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
What about overwhelming Asian communities where police officers only spoke
Mandarin or Cantonese, Overwhelming Hispanic neighborhoods like Corona, Queens where
my girlfriend used to live. That ever, and it's true,
I would drive the set, I would take the seven train,
same train that went to Chase Stadium now City Field,

(28:07):
and every advertisement on the train and on the subway
platform was in Spanish. Imagine that you're traveling there to
go visit your loved one or somebody that you know,
and everybody, police officers, paramedics, they only speak Spanish and
you speak English. You'd never go there. You wouldn't ever,

(28:31):
because it doesn't make sense to Your life would be
a jeopardy. You would have to be lucky. You have
to say to yourself, God, Imagine something happened to you
and you were in that town and you didn't speak
the language, praying while you're bleeding or hurting like Zach

(28:52):
did fell off his dirt bike. Thank god he didn't
break his leg. But imagine you're Zach in a town
where everyone there doesn't speak English, and you've got to
explain to them where it hurts, what happened, what were
the events that took place so that they could care
for you. Imagine that it's over, so no one would

(29:19):
appreci no one would ever want this to happen or
stand by this ideal. So I think it's time that
we get used to the fact that if you live
in this country, learn the language. I think it's great
that you know Spanish. You know, and you can be
with all the rest of those proofy people who pack
themselves on the back.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
I speak three languages, now you speak too.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Come on, Jose, you are like worldly now you speak
English and Spanish or Portuguese. I don't know where you're from.
I'm just making my point. When we come back, more news,
more of you stand by. We'll get to your phone calls.
If you're on hold, all right, we got plenty of
news and plenty of views. And we got a guest today.

(30:04):
That's right, Sean Paul Rayes is joining the show from
Long Island Audit. We'll talk to him, of course, about
his ongoing spat with Sergeant Brian Fahey. He's gonna be
here at four o'clock, so go nowhere. It's reseat the
radio on w t I S News Talk tenn eighty.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Listen to w t I S News Talk ten eighty
on the free Odyssey app download and like w t
I C today for alerts on special programming.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Let's get right back to the phones. Chip is in Coventry.
How are you, sir?

Speaker 18 (30:34):
O okis for my spinis there, buddy? No raise you
cracking me up because I'm pitting there in my car.
I hate to say Newport, but that's well. We won't
discuss right mother, because I'm really trying to quit. So

(30:54):
now this, to me, I'm always like thought to myself.
You know, if I I wanted to go, hypothetically speaking,
and live in another.

Speaker 19 (31:04):
Foreign country, will just say Russia.

Speaker 11 (31:06):
What never happened with me?

Speaker 18 (31:09):
I've done well? If I want to live there and
work there and socialize with the people, don't you think
which I think you agree, I'd better learn the language
or how am I going to get by exactly? I mean,
I don't speak English.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
And most people. It's funny because chip most people in
those countries, and I'll say France is the biggest offender here.
If you go to a French restaurant in Paris and
you try to read something off the menu in French and.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
You goof it up, they will look down on you.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Like they are the ones, like they're the kind of
guys who really they make it clear like dirty Americans.
They don't care if you disrespect them. They'll let you
know about it.

Speaker 18 (31:55):
Well, but I'm not any French Fries. No more go
ahead for them.

Speaker 16 (32:02):
But I had some last night.

Speaker 18 (32:04):
But you know what, Spanish I would love, love, love
to learn fluently because I live near a town. Can
I say the town? Yeah, of course, Okay, I worked
here for five years. It's well Lamanic, and it's predominantly
in my opinion, and uh, it's predominantly Hispanic or you know,
but there's white people blasts all. But you know, I

(32:27):
worked with a lot of Spanish people at a big
grocery store and I would say to them, how do
you say that, you know, how do you? Am I
saying this right? Like, uh, every pretty lady, but don't
ask me to like, you know, when they're speaking all Spanish,
I'm like, what the heck are they to me? It's interesting,

(32:49):
I'm like, because it's like, but nomina.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
But that's the thing. Here's the difference, though, Tip, and
I'll let you go with this. This is the important thing.
What you just described is not a fool your culture.
You work in that community and you wish to learn
the language. Am I saying this right? Is this how
you pronounce it in your own country? You are accommodating

(33:11):
them by learning the way in which they speak. They
are not reciprocal in that, which shows us exactly who
we are, you know. So we welcome everybody into the country.
We will learn things about your culture. We want to
know things about your culture. But having no interest in
ours is where the disrespect comes in. And I think
that's where my outrage is in all of this. I

(33:32):
gotta let you go, but thank you, jif you got
Let me go to Burt, who's calling in from mass
What's going on, sir?

Speaker 16 (33:39):
Hey? How fortuitous of YouTube brought up the subject your
own marketing department has very cleverly decided to start broadcasting
commercials in Spanish. Tone, So what can I look forward
to Mandarin, Chinese?

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Well, I want, that's what I want. That's That's what
I'm saying here, is that we're not making those accommodations
everywhere in the world of equity that we're supposed to
be living in. Bert, right, in the world of equity,
everything we touch should have about nine languages if associated

(34:16):
with it.

Speaker 16 (34:16):
Right, the official language of the United States is English.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
That's right, That is right, that's right. I appreciate it, sir,
Thank you for the call. Bert all the way in Massachusetts.
I love it when our tentacles reach everywhere. Kathy says,
my grandchildren started preschool in Japan.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Wow, ages three to five.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
They both speak and write in Japanese now, but do
they still speak English?

Speaker 11 (34:45):
Though?

Speaker 3 (34:47):
They got to come home? Okay, that's important. They got
to come home eventually, you know. Yes, I'm just saying
it's you know, you got to come home. By the way,
later on in the show, after headlines, I want to
read this text message I just got from Pastor Jacob Dell,

(35:09):
and apparently there is a there's something interesting that's going
on here? Do I have time to read a little
bit of what he wrote? Let me go into this
real quick. He writes to me, unbelievable and he sends
you to link, and he ask the question, why would
this tweet prompt Attorney General William tong to have a

(35:31):
Connecticut State Police detective call me to ask to clarify
my intent? Again, Jacob Dell tweeting, now, why would this
tweet prompt Attorney General William tong to have a Connecticut
State Police detective call me to ask me to clarify

(35:56):
my intent? This is an interesting development in Jacob tell
Jacob Dell's demand of William Tongue investigate what's happening at
the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford. We'll read this letter

(36:18):
during the break and we'll give you any details. Plus,
we've got headlines coming up, sad news over it's serious.
I'll talk about that a little bit. Also, Hollywood news
coming up that I'm a little bit interested in because
I love disaster films. And don't forget we've got Sean
Paul Reyes who is joining the show at four o'clock.
We'll talk to him about the events that took place

(36:42):
where we are, where he is, the investigation into his
confrontation with Sergeant Brian Fahey at his home that you've
all seen. We'll get to the details about that, talk
about where he is, We'll talk about what his mindset,
mind frame was as Fayhee approached him with that gun.
That's what I'm interested in. And we'll talk about some

(37:03):
people who have been critical of Sean Reyes and his
tactics because some people I've seen them online and many
people I know who are not big fans of his.
So we'll delve into that as well and sort of
get his mindset and why he does the things that
he does and the fashion in which he does. We'll
get to all the bottom of it, all right, So
stick around for that. That's coming up in about an hour. Now,

(37:25):
let's get to our WTIC newsroom. But our good friend
John Silva with all the headlines and we'll be back
with our own as well. It's recent and radio on
WTIC News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Greece on the radio, making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now until a w T I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I'm still getting the details from this Jacob Dell thing.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
In a minute, I'll have that for you. Shortly, Let's
get into.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Some news.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Headline we are keeping an eye on. According to the
publication called The US Sun, they're reporting that the Howard
Stern Show could be ending as early as this fall,
after twenty years on the network Serious XM. As that
thing went from sirious and then XM and then become

(38:23):
Serious XM and that whole bid, and he left terrestrial
radio and that whole bid, but he was there for
twenty years. They're saying that there's a likelihood that the
new contract will not be renewed because he may be
asking for something in the upwards of five hundred million dollars,
and people who are on satellite radio those numbers of dwindled.

(38:43):
I remember the last time I got an email for Serious.
I think they were selling subscriptions for as little as
four to five bucks. I don't even know what it
is now. It may be less than that. If you know,
you can definitely let me know in a chat room.
Also want to say this about Howard turned that that
ship has sailed. I don't I can't pile on the guy.

(39:06):
I'm not gonna do that I love this show when
I was a kid. What kid didn't what American boy
didn't like it? It was crass, it was disgusting. It was
everything and everything that a boy would love listening to radio.
He appealed to the sophomoric humor of children, Okay, and
that's what we were. So I had nothing against him

(39:27):
and nothing against that. But I always say that as
soon as he became Hollywood, and I think the thing
he wanted to do was become mainstream. Once he did,
the whole thing turned around, and I think that's where
it kind of lost its edge. I always say, you know,
go out the way you came in, and it's just different. Now.
Godspeed to the guy, and you know, that's all I

(39:52):
can say anything. Moving on, Connecticut turns out to be
one of the highest housing wages in the nation. That
means that renters in Connecticut need to earn significantly more
to comfortably live in a two bedroom apartment in comparison
to other states. And this according to the annual out

(40:14):
of Reach Report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition
Everybody's Got a Coalition. They determine how much a household
has to earn in order to afford a two bedroom apartment,
Connecticut residents need to earn over thirty five dollars hourly,

(40:34):
which would roughly equate to seventy three thousand, five hundred
dollars annually to afford a two bedroom apartment and not
to be considered housing cost burden. The Federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development considers a household housing cost burden
if they spend more than thirty percent of their monthly

(40:55):
income on housing needs. Now, when I was a kid,
maybe somebody else can help me with this, But guys
in the neighborhoods, older guys in the neighborhood used to
tell me when I was like sixteen seventeen years old,
men told me when I would like talk about taking
like getting an apartment, and I worked like an hourly job.

(41:17):
One of the metrics they used to use. And please
tell me, by the way, men out there or anybody
if you were ever told this that the way that
you knew that you can afford an apartment was if
you can pay the rent with a week's pay. That's
what they considered living comfortably or within your means. I

(41:37):
don't know if people do that anymore or even use
that metric anymore. But that's something that I use. Rolling
are you familiar with that metric at all? So I'm
telling you that or did you have a different one?
Well for what metrics like moving into an apartment, I
was told by adults when I was growing up, like
I would say, I'm gonna get my own apartment, and
it was like, look, if you're gonna live in an apartment,

(41:58):
you should be able to pay the rent with a
week's salary. That was the metric that they used. So
if your rent was seven salary, yeah, like if your
rent was seven well, this is when I was a kid,
So if your rent was seven hundred bucks a month,
you should be making that as a weekly pay in
or even if it was before taxes, you should at
least be making that as your pay in order for

(42:20):
you to get in a week.

Speaker 5 (42:22):
Yeah, so yeah, you have to at least make seven hundred.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
They said that was the way that you can live
comfortably because then with that, another is pay your rent
on that in the next paychecks, you can pay for
other things like a card payment, your insurance, to go
out and party, maybe have a good time to go vacation.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
That was a reasonable metric that you should use.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I don't know if anybody uses that anymore, but I
still do, and I use that.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
That's from back in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, so I just think about Okay, so you're using
that metric, right, yeah, still to this day. So just
think about if, like now, rent is like twenty five hundred. Yes,
so you need to tell me, let's do the math.
No month you have to make Yeah, by that metric,
that's outrageous.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Yeah, I know a lot of people don't. I get it.
I get it. However, there are some Now, twenty five
hundred is an exorbitant amount to pay for rent in Connecticut.
I know that in Connecticut they have low income housing
in or around thirteen to eighteen thousand dollars a month.
I know they do.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
I've looked hundred unred was that thirteen thousand a month?

Speaker 3 (43:28):
No, thirteen hundred sorry, thirteen hundred thousand, sorry, you're right, yeah,
thirteen hundred a month, thirteen hundred to eighteen hundred a month.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Even that, that's still significant.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Well, if you can afford that in two weeks pay,
that's not bad.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Oh okay, in two weeks.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yeah, that's not bad, because well then you'd have to
cut out all the other stuff. One, you clearly can't
have a car. You can forget about vacation unless you
are really saving money, like you're gonna have to put
some money aside, you know, for vacations and emergency I
still agree with the ten percent of your pay should
go to savings. I still agree with that nowadays, like

(44:04):
people are just too reckless with their cash. I'm not
saying any names, Roseanne. I'm not saying anybody's name, Roseanne.
But I think that that metric the week's pay is reasonable.
And if you can't pay your rent with the week's pay,
I think that you should get a roommate. And by

(44:24):
the way, if it's.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
That's why people are getting in relationships more because of
it's financially right official, more than they actually like, Oh
I love this person. I want to now with this person.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
What if your rent is twenty five hundred a month.
You're looking that number, what is that? What does that
span out to? Seven fifty right?

Speaker 11 (44:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (44:49):
Seven fifty right?

Speaker 3 (44:51):
No, that's.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
So if you can afford yeah, so if you if
the two of you can have for that in a
weekly salary to both of you in a one bedroom
apartment or even a two bedroom apartment. That makes sense.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
Then you know I would say get a roommate or
get a spouse.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Yeah, that makes sense. The moan is eighteen, so I'll
pay eighteen on it a month.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
So yeah, exactly, that's reasonable. That's a reasonable amount to do. Anyway,
Moving on a US attorney, the US Attorney's Office in
Maryland is investigating Democratic Senator Adam Shift for alleged mortgage fraud.
The probe follows a month old revelation that the Federal
Housing Finance Agency had referred Shift's case to the Department

(45:38):
of Justice, accusing him of falsifying bank records and property
records to secure more favorable loan terms. This according to
Fox News, So that investigation has pretty much gone underway.
And now for the stupidest thing I read today, Yes,

(46:00):
you do act.

Speaker 16 (46:02):
It should very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth.

Speaker 20 (46:08):
Dumb.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
The stupidest thing I read today is this.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
So it looks like South Park is doing a spoof
on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nome And this
is turning into a big deal. Why it's a cartoon
that spoofs people? The reason why I'm saying it is

(46:35):
stupid that people are actually including this as a news item,
as if it's something to brag about. Trey Parker and
Matt Stone are mocking Christy Nomes. So this is like
some sort of win for people, or this is newsworthy.
It isn't. There's nothing newsworthy about it. It's a stupid story.
It's stupid coverage. Anybody who I mean, it must be

(46:56):
a slow news day if this is an item anyway
other than pointing out it is stupid news. But it is.
And I've got to say this to those who are
enamored with this story. If this is what you consider
a win, some sophomoric goofballs making fun of you on

(47:20):
a television show on Comedy Central. If that's a win,
perhaps there's a reason why you're pulling at nineteen and
twenty percent. This is stupid. You guys should know better
and try to get just let's get significant wins. Everything

(47:40):
you try is a failure. And I think Tommy Lawrence
said it best. Everything Democrats do is a stunt. It's
always a stunt. It's no meaning. You got bozos who
are flying across the country complaining about gerrymandering and flying
all the way to one of the most gerrymandered sticks
in the country, Illinois, of all places. Speaking of Illinois,

(48:01):
we got to talk about a couple of states in
a poll today that I found out. I want to
thank the Connecticut Sentinel for posting it. We'll talk about
that as well. Let's get back to the phones. Eighteen
zero five two two w T I see. Let's go
to Mike in Bristol. How are you, sir?

Speaker 11 (48:15):
Hey Reeve.

Speaker 10 (48:16):
I love the program today, love the topics.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (48:21):
I ve Uber in the Greater Hartford area. I went
down to Miami. We took eight ubers during our trip
in Miami, seven of the drivers spoke no English at.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
All, not a word.

Speaker 10 (48:35):
Not a word. Now, down in Miami, they had passed legislation, uh,
just for Miami County that Uber drivers had to be
able to speak proficient English.

Speaker 21 (48:45):
Whoa and somebody Uh the police started writing two hundred
and fifty dollars tickets wow to.

Speaker 10 (48:52):
Drivers, and it went to court and got overturned.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
So then no way. Now listen, I will tell you this.

Speaker 5 (49:05):
I think their angle may have been.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Sort of wrong in how they approach this story because
you bring up a very good point in all of this.
I want you to think about it from this perspective.
It's Miami, it's a party town, and they are Uber
drivers who are taking probably inebriated people home. And more
than likely than any other group of people who are

(49:32):
taking ubers or home, of all the genders, who's taking
the most there you go now for safety reasons because
Ubers had a lot of scandals that involved harassment of
women inside that remember that scandal.

Speaker 5 (49:51):
Exactly. So if you're in a situation.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Where you have an inebriated young lady going to a location,
even though on her you know, she may say that
I'm going to this address. What happens if she's too
drunk and she gives the wrong address as her destination.
What happens if she you know what I mean? And
then she's stuck with this guy that she can't communicate

(50:15):
with because one she's inebraided until she doesn't speak his language,
he clearly doesn't speak hers and tries to help her,
and it turns into a complete other situation.

Speaker 21 (50:26):
Well, you know, My point too is what if you're
having a medical emergency in the car that's right, and
you need to stop or going to the hospital, whatever,
And he's not understanding yet exactly.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
You can have alcohol poisoning. She could be sick to
her stomach, throwing up in the back of the car.
She may need assistance to go to the hospital. And
the guy doesn't know where to go, can't communicate with her.
What's going on, how are you feeling, what's you know?
What do you need? Do you need water? No communication whatsoever? Look,
I'm sorry, I mean, look at least I drew. I
took cabs all my life growing up in New York. Right,

(51:00):
cabs were the thing, whether it's livery drivers or yellow cabs.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
A lot more yellow cabs when I lived in Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
I don't know anyone who didn't get into a cab
in New York and didn't find out intimate details about
your cab driver, or the other way around. That's the
kind of that's the commonplace of driving a cab.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
Uber's always the same as.

Speaker 10 (51:22):
Well, Right, I do thirty five to forty rides a night,
and I very very rarely pick up inebriated people in
the Heart for area, believe it or not. Wow, Yeah,
it's a lot of people going back and forth to
work friend's houses, whatever we like, I said, you know,
I think they should be able to mandate at least

(51:45):
proficient English.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Yeah, what if? What if the Uber driver is female
and doesn't speak English and she's got and she's got
a drunk guy in the back of a car who's falling,
falling asleep when she gets to his destiny. And let
me give you a quick scenario. I'll never forget. So
my ex wife Mary used to do when we first
got separated. To make extra income. She started doing Uber

(52:09):
and she got this one girl twice in separate weekends.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
But the first time she got the.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
Girl, she drove to her apartment, which was at a
gated community where there was no staffer at the gate,
and the girl was passed out drunk in the back
of her car and couldn't do no code to get in,
no way to get the woman like, how was she
supposed she She would literally have to like take the

(52:38):
young lady's phone and go through her Rolodex to find
out somebody that was on there, maybe mom, dad or anybody,
to get her. She said, she sat there for forty
five minutes, rocking this woman to get her up so
she can finally get her out.

Speaker 19 (52:52):
Of her car.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
So imagine that situation with somebody who doesn't speak the language.

Speaker 10 (52:57):
Right, I agree, Yeah, I mean I understand what. They
have a huge, you know, Cuban population there, but that
doesn't doesn't make a difference. You should if you're gonna
work with the public like that, you should be able
to speak English.

Speaker 11 (53:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Indeed, thanks Mike, much appreciated, sir.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Thank you got it. Rudy is in Florida. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 19 (53:17):
Hey, I got something totally Connecticut related, but Miami's predominantly histhetic.

Speaker 11 (53:23):
Yeah, the Puerto Ricans a lot of Venezuelans.

Speaker 19 (53:26):
Every time there's a hurricane, two hundred thousand Puerto Ricans
stay there and don't go back to the island. Your
your statement earlier, I tried to get my living expenses
at twenty five meaning my my rent payment, my electricity
are not just the ret payment.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Oh, you're trying to consolidate all of them to only
be twenty five percent of your pay right.

Speaker 19 (53:51):
You head always said that your mortgage and insurance shouldn't
be more than a third. Okay, but I try to
stay at twenty five percent.

Speaker 14 (54:00):
So that the what what's the chemical they's spraying on
the lights Dequinqua. Yeah, so I thought about you as
I was leaving worked today because we have lakes all
over here. We have this big, huge it looks like
a long boat, but it's like thirty feet long. It's
double wide, has a cab and a caveor belt system

(54:22):
on it. Okay, dredge on lincks of vegetation like once.

Speaker 19 (54:26):
A quarter here.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
Yeah, that's that's the eco harvester that we've been trying
to get cees to consider.

Speaker 19 (54:34):
My city has those and they they do the lakes
like every other month. And it's crazy because our guess
what our mill rate here.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Is, so what do you got?

Speaker 19 (54:45):
Six fifteen cents a thousand.

Speaker 11 (54:49):
Assessed?

Speaker 19 (54:50):
Guess what we get? Trash pickup, recycle, pickup, sewer everything.
Like when I lived in the Field, which is a
great town to move to, but you'd be the second
black person there. Thanks, we just have to pay private
company pick up our trash. Our mill rate was thirty

(55:11):
seven do We didn't have a police station. We had
a volunteer fire department. So my city is run so
much more efficient and it's almost at two hundred thousand
people and we have a mill rate. That's like ninety
percent lower than most of the state of Connecticut. And
we we eco harvest that crap in our legs. I

(55:33):
totally forgot about it. But they're out there today harvesting
the lake like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
It's and what's the beauty of it? Is rudy that
you're talking about. As I was expressing with Jeffrey Cordisco,
who runs C and D Underwater Maintenance, is Look, those
guys are not only looking for work, but there are
two things that they could do as far as Connecticut
is concerned. One, it's a guaranteed industry. You could get
a whole bunch of people to now start purchasing that and.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
You don't have to poison the water anymore, you know.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
But you can use that budget to get these guys
out there to do a clean and efficient removal of
the stuff.

Speaker 19 (56:11):
Why do you think we do it?

Speaker 3 (56:14):
Again? I'm still lost as to why everybody else doesn't.

Speaker 19 (56:18):
Florida has a huge aqua filter under the ground is
up a fresh water yep. So you I mean, we
already have problems. And it happens when they so citrus
greening happens. Farmers are retiring, they get paid big Bucks
to sell their their citrus ranches to make subdivisions, and

(56:39):
the chemicals that have been sprayed on that ground forever.
So if you end up getting well water, you're living
a little dangerously because of all the chemicals citrus in
there per year.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
Good point.

Speaker 11 (56:50):
So it's it's.

Speaker 19 (56:51):
Important that we keep our aqua filter clean exactly.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Thank you, Rudy. I gotta get to it. I gotta
get to a break, but thank you. I appreciate that.
I'm glad that people we know that are doing out
there and they're not paying attention. Thanks big guys. Let
me take a break. We'll come back. We got more news,
more views. I'll read a little bit more about this
Jacob Dell thing, and we'll get to of course, your
phone calls as well, so stick around. It's res on
the radio on WTIC News Talk ten eighty. We're back

(57:16):
rees on the radio WTIC News Talk ten to eighty.
So I read over this letter that Reverend Jacob Dell
sent to let me just read it. He sent a
letter back to the detective from the Connecticut State Police

(57:39):
who came to visit him. Why did they come to
visit him? Because in a post by Reverend Jacob Dell.
He demanded and asked, but demanded, that the Attorney General
look into the allegations made by Virus said about the

(58:02):
death of her daughter Irene and the actions of individuals
at the Metropolitan Community Church of Hartford. And in his
post on ex Twitter or whatever, he used the phrase
often used by the LGBTQ community that William Tong defends

(58:27):
at nauseum. He gave a press conference just what last week,
demanding that gender affirming care be given to children. He
is clearly an ally, and if he was a true
ally and not a joke, he would know the term
silence equals death if he was a true advocate for

(58:49):
the people. But because he's a worm, he sought to
intimidate Reverend Jacob Dell by seking the police on him,
sending a detective to him via phone call asking him
to clarify his statements, as if to suggest in some

(59:12):
way a man like Jacob Dell was making some veiled threat,
all while his asking that this young woman have an
investigation into her daughter's passing. The compassionate guy, the compassionate

(59:32):
reverend looking out for a person who isn't a member
of his flock or his congregation, said that there's behavior
happening with any so called Christian church that is detrimental
to children, costing one their lives, allegedly that there is
behavior that is illegal happening inside this church, and asking

(59:57):
Attorney General William Talk to do something about it, and
what did he choose to do? Instead of responding to
the good reverend here, he sends out the police. What's wrong, tong,
what's the problem? You tell everybody? You show everyone. You're

(01:00:21):
screaming and hollering at rallies against Donald Trump like you're
the toughest guy in the room. Jacob Dell wears a collar.
He's a man of faith. Hell, he might even be
a pacifist. I don't know that, reverend. I'm just kidding.
Probably knock my block off. I don't know. He could

(01:00:43):
be a boxer on the side. But nonetheless, it's a
man of a cloth. Why didn't you have the testicular
fortitude to contact him yourself? You are the chief law
enforcement officer of the state of Connecticut. Why couldn't you
reach out to the man you stunned up to Donald Trump?

(01:01:07):
But you run from clergy homie, You run from the church.
You couldn't give this man a call and say, please
tell me more about your concerns. Instead, you sick the
fuzz on them. This is why people say that you're warmed.

(01:01:31):
This is the reason why people say you have no integrity.
And I don't understand it. A woman's daughter is dead.
She took her own life. I thought you were concerned
about these things. I thought you were here as the
attorney General, you had no fear or favor.

Speaker 5 (01:01:51):
Of any side.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
But it clearly it shows us every day that you
are a political animal. You're not here for justice. You
are nothing more than just like every one of these
guys who work in this office. This is about you.
This is about your platform, This is about your political future.
This is about you catering to progressives. You don't care

(01:02:14):
about anybody on the other side of the aisle. And
how dare you talk about we don't discriminate around here, liar.
You couldn't even go speak to a man of God.
You couldn't even pick up the phone and give him
a call and say, hey, what's the concern speak to him?
You send a cop out to him. I like to

(01:02:38):
commend the detective that didn't see any reason to go
out there and go meet up with the pastor. I
have to go knock on his door to go intimidate him,
embarrass him. I'm glad that you got picked up the
phone and called him, But if I could say something
to your Reverend Dell, let me say this to you.

(01:02:58):
Keep going. You're right over the target. Keep going.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
I know you want a response from ag Tong.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
You got one, and the response you got said, keep going,
keep fighting. You intimidated him, You got a little bit
of that armor you got through. The reason why he
did what he did was because something you did scratched

(01:03:29):
him a little bit. You drew a little bit of blood.
No one would have ever come to your doorstep, no
one would have ever made a phone call towards you
if it didn't affect him in some way. And as
far as I'm concerned, that's enough. Keep going, get anyone
in everyone, you can get that coalition larger, folks. Here

(01:03:51):
is the opportunity for you who respect Reverend Dell and
respect his mission that him sending out that letter says
that he's reaching people.

Speaker 5 (01:04:04):
Even William Tong.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Join them. Now, Republicans, get on it. Do not let
that man fight by himself, none of you. Don't let
that man fight by himself. What's being done by William
Tong that could be done to anyone and everyone, and
if it could be done to him, it'll be done

(01:04:27):
worse to you. There's a reason why the fight is
never over, folks. That's why, because they'll pull anything, they
will do anything. You're probably saying to yourself, damn And
if you look, I don't know about you, I'm gonna
say it. I tried not to. I have to do it.

(01:04:48):
There's a couple of guys out there who know where
I'm coming from. And if you are see me eye
to eye here, you know who I'm talking to. You
know that guy. You know that guy who's got a
run and call somebody for backup. He talks all the

(01:05:10):
mess in the world, and he does it behind the scenes.
He whispers, calling you names, gossiping about you, always, you know,
promoting himself as the toughest guy in the room while
he's nudging you behind your back. And then when you
confront him, acts like I did nothing, or when you'd

(01:05:34):
write on his tail, he starts screaming for the teacher
or security security security.

Speaker 5 (01:05:41):
He's intimidating me.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
That's who this guy is. He was running around screaming
and hollering about how tough of a guy he is,
especially around the supporters. Well, they're all cheering them on,
Go Tom go, But when real adversity reaches his doorstep,
he's calling a waving him down police police. I feel intimidated.

(01:06:07):
Coward and I don't use that term. I don't like
using that term. You're a coward. You should have just
picked up the phone and gave the man a call. Instead,
you're flagging down the FEDS. Nobody respects that. That shows

(01:06:30):
no to respect you again, chief law enforcement officer of
the state. And what are you doing? You're sick in
the police on a reverend. Would you do that to
a black reverend? Would you do that down in Bridgeport?
Would you do that in the hood? Huh? Would you
do that to old Elijah Jenkins? You damn well, wouldn't

(01:06:54):
you know it? I can't, I can't. It's embarrassing. I'm
not even a fan and I can't.

Speaker 11 (01:07:02):
Look.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
It's disgusting, it's despicable. It is good real men look
at that and just go, oh, dude, word, I know
who you are. I know who you are. We're all
saying it, just going do Really, you're not a man security.

(01:07:29):
I can't. I can't with this, dude, I can't. Just
can't do it. Let's go Bob's in Berlin.

Speaker 20 (01:07:36):
Hello Bob, Hello Reef, thank you for all you do.
I would want to talk to Roland.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Okay, you want me to put your on hold and
put your on arrow? Is there something else?

Speaker 20 (01:07:49):
Well? I wanted to talk about a very dry subject
but very important, the private federal Reserve system. But I
need more than a minute to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
Oh well, I definitely don't have longer than that. But
how about this.

Speaker 20 (01:08:06):
He could talk to me and he could maybe give
you some information about it, and it might be worth
talking to the public about.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
I will do one better than that. Stay on the line.
I'm going to make sure that I get your number
and I'll call you personally. How about that.

Speaker 20 (01:08:20):
Well that's pretty decent of you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Well, of course, my pleasure. I loved listen. I love
I love all of my listeners. And when they need
me and they asked me to call, I pick up
the phone. And I know I'm probably gonna set myself
up for a million calls, But you know what, I
don't mind. That's exactly how I feel about every one
of you. Because you take the time out of your
day to listen to the show. It means everything to me,
and that's how I operate. So I'll get on. I'll

(01:08:43):
put you on hold, and I'll grab your number. In fact,
i'll have rolling grab the number. He'll send it to
me in a text, and I'll make sure I have it.

Speaker 21 (01:08:49):
I'll give you a holler, Okay, thank you, you got it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
In fact, to be honest with you, Bob that the
Federal Reserve is a subject that's really really great gaining
some ground, and I do want to start having a
conversation about that. So I appreciate you. Let's go, Oh,
we got to take a break, all right, Well take
a break. When we come back, I'll take a couple
of more phone calls. I also want to address what
I was talking about at the beginning of the show.
Some people I want to give some acknowledgments too. I

(01:09:14):
can't get everybody, but there are some people I want
to sort of give a shout out to. I was
thinking about it yesterday when Craig was doing something for
my wife and I that I really, really appreciate, and
I'm going to kind of show all those folks some
respect who have joined the show in ways and have
been a part of the shows in ways that they
could possibly imagine that I need to show some appreciation

(01:09:36):
for all right, So stick around for that and so
much more. Also, four o'clock, don't forget, We've got Sean
Paul Reyes coming in on the show to talk about
kids confrontation with Sergeant Fahey, where that story has gone
so far, and also about his encounter with Ned Lamont.
So all of that and much much more. Stick around.
It's Reesa on the radio on WTIC news Doc ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Reese on the radio, ask your doctor of common sense?
Is right for you? Right for you?

Speaker 16 (01:10:05):
News?

Speaker 19 (01:10:06):
W T I.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
See, we're back. Let me get to these calls real quick. Frankie,
what's going.

Speaker 22 (01:10:12):
On, sar A couple of things. Number One, in my
experience having conversations talking to Spanish and Chinese people. When
I got done, they all told me I don't speak English,
but why did I get this feeling they knew what
I was talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Well, frank what are the things that I've done? And
my wife gets on my case about it all the
time is if somebody doesn't speak English. I don't know
why I do it, but I do it. I actually
start speaking English louder, but you get.

Speaker 22 (01:10:46):
The feel that they know what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Yes, that's the reason why I do it. I'm thinking
that they don't understand me because I'm not speaking loud enough.
I don't know why.

Speaker 22 (01:10:55):
The second thing you're gonna love this about today? Times
has changed, Yes, thank god, not to be true. Sixty
years ago, we were told there's one thing a black
man would never do in life.

Speaker 11 (01:11:05):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
Uh, I don't become president.

Speaker 11 (01:11:09):
No.

Speaker 22 (01:11:10):
I thought you were going to say, called the cops. No,
it didn't not if they called the cops. We were
told a black man sixty years ago would never call
the FBI. And thank god it was true, otherwise I
wouldn't be talking to you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
Goodbye, Get out of here. Bolton didn't Waterbury? How are you, sir?

Speaker 10 (01:11:27):
What's going on?

Speaker 23 (01:11:28):
But I want to talk about the laws there. So
this looks like what went on with Mark right, I
mean he had like a problem and they said the
police island the same thing.

Speaker 10 (01:11:36):
What's going on with yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:11:37):
With with with Paul?

Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
Yeah, I'm sorry you can talk about the same thing
that's going on with with Jacob Dell.

Speaker 23 (01:11:46):
Yeah, with Mark and West Harford, right with the lady
who was calling a radio tea exactly what now, I said, like,
I don't agree. It's the Long Island as the guy's house.
Some push got pinched there, deadly, don't think I think
a sports and first Amendment was taken away the first
time in front of the place, right.

Speaker 24 (01:12:02):
You know, like I said, show in his house.

Speaker 23 (01:12:04):
I saw the Nevlamont say it was pretty good. I
like what the guy does. But I you know, the
one thing, like I said, house.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Yeah, I mean, I I'm gonna talk to him about
that because I know that's the criticism that a lot
of people have and I've got some pushback on that
that I'm not gonna reveal until I talk to him
about that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:23):
But I get where you're coming from.

Speaker 10 (01:12:25):
I want to ask you a question.

Speaker 23 (01:12:26):
So, yes, you're on the radio, right, So what if
what if you and Tim have some big beef? Right
Tim showed up at your house right after you had
some big beefer?

Speaker 19 (01:12:35):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:12:35):
No, now hold on now, is Tim just Tim?

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
Or is Tim Uh? A journalist from uh Hamden Audit
Dot com.

Speaker 23 (01:12:45):
So, so could anybody be a journalist now with a
cell phone? That's my question.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
Well, I would say if I could look, I would
You're right, first of all, by the way.

Speaker 23 (01:12:55):
Long Island audits, you have any presidential anywhere.

Speaker 24 (01:12:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 23 (01:12:59):
Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
Well that's again, that's a slippery slope. But I will
get into that with him. So make sure you tune
in the next half hour because I'm gonna break all
that down. But all of those questions are valid, and
I'm going to ask him about those. I'm gonna talk
to him about those because you know, again, this is
gonna go against a lot of people who agree with
me usually, and I have great relationships with I don't

(01:13:22):
agree with their criticism of Sean Paul Reyes. And I'm
gonna explain why, you know, after I talk to him,
because what he's doing has to be done. Even if
his tactics are not they're not familiar to folks, and
I'll break that down whenhim. So stand by for that.
Let's get our first check O Weather and Traffic. I

(01:13:44):
do know that Jason Calerins is not back, so I
know Bob Larson is still here with Weather, but Jason.
I'm sorry, Mark Christopher, he's still here. He's in the
BPS draving Center. How you doing, buddy, hot Roland. We
got him on right, that's him, yes, sir, all right,
good enough, all right, Well to that in a second.
But you know, we gotta do this every day. Folk clock.

Speaker 11 (01:14:08):
Between bounds.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):

the information that's asked of you there. You must live

(01:15:00):
Sean Paul. He's on hold. We're gonna get him as
soon as we get back from whether or in traffic
we got so much stuff to get into. We're gonna
ask all the questions, and I really did. I took
e gauge of what some of the criticisms were of
what Sean Paul in the exchange between him and Sergeant Fahey.
And let me say this before because I know he's listening,

(01:15:21):
but I want to I want to say this beforehand.
A lot of the people who had criticisms are people
I respect, and I respect their opinions and liberals who
listened to the show.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Just so you know. That's the beauty about being me is.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
That I get to disagree with people who agree with
me politically, and I can do it with such a flare.
It's amazing. A lot of people don't didn't like Sean
Paul's tactics or him showing up at Brian Fahey's home.

Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
I disagree with that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
What his objective was was to point out corruption.

Speaker 5 (01:15:59):
I am gonna say this, and I've seen it everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
And you guys who have watched things like Bill O'Reilly,
Jesse Waters was famous for doing things like this. James
o'keith made a name of himself of doing exactly this.

Speaker 5 (01:16:13):
So this thing that you decry so to speak, that
Jean Paul did.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
A lot of people who have gotten information to stories
that all of you have benefited from and learned about
corruption in our country have been done with the same tactics.
That's why I disagree with you on this one. So
we'll talk to him when we get back. Sean Paul
Rayes of Long Island Audit be on the show in
a second. Let's get weather and traffic with John Larson,

(01:16:39):
who's in for Jason Calerina and Mark Christophers in the
BPS traving Center.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Hey, but president of the Chris Murphy Fanclub Reese on
the radio on News Dog ten ad W T I
C T C Hey, and.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
We are glad to be here, as we always are,
and we're always proud to have guests. I gotta tell you, folks,
I'm saying this because I don't have a PR guy.
I don't have a sort of a per line producer
who gets my guests. I do this all on my own,
and when you guys are talking about something, the first
thing I do is, Okay, you know what everybody's talking

(01:17:12):
about this, let me go see if I can get
this person on the program. So I did it this time.
He was supposed to be on yesterday, buddy, he forgot
all about it because he got so busy. But he
is here today as promised. We've got Sean Paul Rayes
on the line. Thank you, sir for joining the show.

Speaker 11 (01:17:29):
Hey, thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
Appreciate it my pleasure. Now listen, we gotta play it.
It's the spec heard round New England. Here's how it
went Connecticut State. Who you are right now? We're going
to jail now. So that is not the end or
even the beginning of what took place. So I know

(01:17:54):
we're gonna get into some background, but I gotta ask
you this question. It's the one question that has been
bought bothering me for the longest because of that moment
and how it went down. When you see former state
trooper Brian Fahey approaching you with a gun in his
hand as you are backing up, how concerned were you

(01:18:18):
for your own safety, if not your life?

Speaker 11 (01:18:22):
So you know I was more than backing up. I
turned my back to his residence. I was walking clearly
away when I heard him come out of his house.
I turned around and I saw that he had a
firearm in his hand. Yeah, and as he's rapidly approaching me.
My first instinct was because I normally work alone. I

(01:18:43):
hired a cameraman, a twenty year old kid, no criminal records,
there's a good kid in college, and hired him to
be my cameraman for the day. I was worried about
his safety. Really, Secondly, I was worried. That was where
my focus was on. So I wanted to keep Brian,
former state trooper. I wanted to keep his focus on me.
I told him, I raised my hands, I don't have

(01:19:04):
any weapons. I'm a journalist. I tried to make it
as obvious as possible. I meant him or anybody in
his household, no problem, And honestly I was. I was scared.
I was scared. I didn't know what he was planning
on doing it. Really, adrenaline took a hold of me.
I was. I was more frightened after the fact, once

(01:19:24):
I realized why he spat in my face, why he
was lying to the nine one one operator saying that
I threatened to kill him.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Let's get ahead of let's let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Some Paul Reyes is
on the line with us, talking about his incident with
the Sergeant Fay he now retired. You brought up the spat.
You said you knew why he spat in your face.
Can I tell you what I thought when I watched it.
I played the entire video on my on my podcast

(01:19:52):
versus the show. We have a we have a visual
version of the show as well as on radio. So
I was playing your video simultaneously to it broadcast see
the audio, and I said that the reason why my
belief is that Sergeant Faye, he spat in your face
to initiate a reaction from you, a physical reaction to you,
so he would have reason to use his firear.

Speaker 11 (01:20:14):
Is that what you were thinking, Yeah, after the fact,
in the moment. In the moment, I didn't really catch on.
I thought he was just being a vile, despicable human
being by spitting in my face and mouth. But that's
exactly right. That hit me. After it was all over
and adrenaline was wearing off, I was like, Oh, he
spit on me, so I can do something and react

(01:20:36):
as anybody typically would in that scenario. So that way
he can use his firearm on me and take my life. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:43):
Yeah, and even I guess that consumes you after the fact,
because then you're playing it over in your head and
you start questioning yourself, should you know, did I go
too far?

Speaker 5 (01:20:55):
Was it reasonable for me to even be there?

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
This could have you know, possibly I could have lost
my life if not render or taken the life of
the cameraman that you would kind of you felt felt
you put in harm's way in that incident. I'm not
saying that you did, but I'm saying in your head,
you're kind of going through all of that and rethinking
everything with a degree of like caution, so to speak.

Speaker 11 (01:21:19):
Yeah, that's exactly right. But you know, at the end
of the day, I knew what I did was completely
not only completely legal and constitutionally and protected. It is
something that has been done by journalists since journalism existed,
right since people asking questions of government officials knocking on
their doors. I'm working on a compilation where I show

(01:21:39):
a bunch of mainstream reporters doing the same things right,
and none of it has ever resulted in this. You know,
I like to put the accountability in the blame where
it belongs, and that's with former sergeants say he he
didn't control his emotions and I told the officers there.
You know I'm not when they're rotten police department arrived.
You know he right, He's allowed to be upset. I

(01:22:02):
don't blame him for being upset, but he can't break
the law.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
You and I think that there's a strong belief by
you and many of the people who follow you are
even those who are just watching it, feel like he
got off with just being able to retire. Do you
feel slighted by that? And do you think that something
else should be done or do you believe something else
will be done?

Speaker 11 (01:22:28):
So, the way I look at it is I was violated,
not only as a man by being spat in the face,
having gun hould on me. My constitution rights are violated
and then subsequently violated again when I the victim is
being put in handcuffs, my poor cameraman being put in
handcuffs charged with felony sel any voyeurism. That felt like

(01:22:50):
another violation. Another violation is raising my bond from ten
thousand to seventy five thousand dollars because of calls from
up HIE. I don't know who the those calls where
I'm looking into it, but yes, they raised my bond.
Him not being charged. Another violation just from the spit on,
just a violation after violation, and even his retirement feels

(01:23:13):
like a violation. A lot of my supporters and viewers
were celebrating his retirement. I am not celebrating it. That
is another violation because he gets to skate away with
his six figure pension, his golden parachue by the taxpayers
of Connecticut for engaging in criminal activity. You can think
what you want of me, if you're listening to this,
you can think whatever you want of me. If that's

(01:23:35):
how you if you condone a law enforcement officer, a
public servant to behave in that kind of manner under
any circumstances, then you know, to pay his money, pay
his pension for the rest of his life, and let
him get away with it. But when it happens to
you or your family or your friends, you know, don't
be shocked.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
Let's get into that part, because you know you said
you made that statement by saying, if those people who
do not agree with you, and for those of who
just joining us, we're on the phone with Sean Paul
Reyes of a Long Island audit. You know the video
we've talked about it. It's been everywhere. People said that
you approaching his home at that time, you violated some

(01:24:16):
sort of his constitutional rights by approaching his home, and
people are talking about your credibility as a journalist.

Speaker 5 (01:24:25):
What constitutes a journalist?

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Now I have the answer to this, but I don't
want to always seem like I'm on the side. Like
I don't want everybody to think, oh, you just like him, Reice,
you're on his side. I don't want to answer because
I do have an answer for it. But I want
you to give an answer to the audience that thinks
that you went beyond the pale when you arrived at
his home to ask him questions. First, I want you
to tell me about that, but second, I want you

(01:24:49):
to tell us why you would they are at all.

Speaker 11 (01:24:54):
So this is our first conversation we ever had about this.
You know, I don't know you, you don't know me, right,
But to answer your question question, is there's you Just
because you objectively think about something, or even subjectively think something,
doesn't mean that you know we're an alliance or anything
like that. It's just the facts of the facts that's
on video, and you can enjoy your own conclusions from that. Again.

(01:25:15):
I was there to ask about overtime. The individual, the
former sergeant is was getting paid an average of eighty
five thousand dollars a year in overtime for the last
five years as a death sergeant who hands out pistol permits.
So I thought it was interesting. I got a tip
from a source, and I thought it was interesting and
suspicious that somebody who works at a desk in nine
to five. And ironically enough, when I went to his residence,

(01:25:38):
it was three o'clock in the afternoon on a workday
and he was home. But I went there to ask questions,
as any good journalists would. You know, you might not
like if you're out there listening, you might not like
that that I am a journalist, but you cannot take
away the fact that I am. It's just a fact.
I mean, there is no there is no offendits or
bus about it. You don't need a journalism would agree

(01:25:58):
to be a journalist. Just look up definition of what
a journalist is. You know, we have AI now that's objective.
Type it into AI and they're going to tell you
the truth. They have no bias, right, you know, you know,
just just check it out. The AI is not backing
Sean Paul Ray. They have nothing else look into it.
That's just you might not like my form of journalism,
how I engage in journalism. Those are all criticisms that

(01:26:21):
you can have, right, but you cannot take away the
fact that I am a journalist. You just can't.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
I'd like to, can I let me piggyback off you
on this thing, because there's an important notion or note
that you just made. You get to be a journalist
in my view, because what you covered is the things
that my audience often complains about, is that you covered
a topic that usually the mainstream newspaper media or the

(01:26:49):
media that they consider legitimate won't even touch. It's one
of your biggest criticisms and complaints is that why is
no one talking about this? And then you grab your
camera or I have a camera man, and you go
in there to get answers for the people of Groton
who are paying this guy's exorbit it over time to
get to the.

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
Bottom of it, doing the job that journalism won't do.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
And now all of a sudden, because you got into
a back and forth with the guy, you're no longer
a journalist. Or they question the levels of journalism you
wish or or you're supposed to be a part of. Which. Again,
that's the reason why I kind of side with you
on this is that as more people are shouting you down,
I'm the type of guy who says we need more
people like you. It's the reason why we have Mark

(01:27:32):
and West Hartford that's on this show constantly, because he's
doing the work that mainstream media won't do right.

Speaker 11 (01:27:39):
And it's not just because they don't want to do it.
The difference between me and a mainstream journalist is that
I speak and I investigate things that I want to investigate.
Most mainstream journalists are just talking mouthpieces. They do a
three minute segment on something and they write about something
that they're told to write about. They're edited that their editor,

(01:28:00):
and it's their story to what fits the narrative what
they want to talk about. So called journalists, you know,
they say those kinds of things in these reports. Again,
if they're supposed to be objective, objectively, I am a
journalist if you, But when they put out terms of
self proclaimed so called journalists, they're trying to paint a
narrative that this guy is not one of us. He's
not and I don't want to be one of them.

(01:28:21):
I'll engage in my own journalism. Nobody tells me what
to write, Nobody tells me what to cover, nobody tells
me what to talk about. I talk about what I
want to talk about. I investigate things, and that's how
I engage in my journalism. I'm an independent journalist, and
I investigate matters of corruption and not only that. Reef,
it's not that I'm anti law enforcement.

Speaker 8 (01:28:40):
This is what people can't Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
I was gonna get to that too. I was gonna
get to that too, thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:28:45):
I call him bootlequers. But I can't get my head
around the fact that I'm not anti law enforcement. I
am a big proponent of law and order and accountability
for your actions. I'm sorry. I believe that law enforcement officer,
people that we entrust with authority to enforce the law,

(01:29:06):
should be held to a high standard. And this is
not all law enforcement agencies. I've spoken at many law
enforcement agencies and given seminars and trainings and worked with
them and been at command staff meetings, and it's all
on my YouTube channel. Have been in ride alongs, have
done district Attorney's office trainings. These agencies have invited me

(01:29:27):
over to do these things because they know that I
am not anti law enforcement. I want law enforcement to
be held to a high standard. I want people to
be held accountable, especially law enforcement officers, and as we see, unfortunately,
they're just.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
Not shn shin. Paul, do me a favor. Can you
do you have anything else scheduled? Because there's so much
what you just said. I need to get sort of
a deeper look, and I need this audience for me.
This audience needs to know you a little more. Can
we hold you over at least for a little bit.
I'd like to ask about some of the investigations you've

(01:30:01):
done in the past. What's got Because you you're a
big deal in a lot of places. I've got friends
who haven't talked to me in weeks. They're friends, but
they haven't talked to me in years. Even when they
heard you were coming on the show. I started to
get a message with him, Reece, how can I hear
the show? They don't even listen to my show regularly,
but when they heard you were coming on, they immediately
started contacting me. You're a big deal. A lot of
the work that you do I think is important. I've

(01:30:23):
known about you for a long time, but this is
our first sort of interaction. Can I keep you back
for keep you on for a little bit more, talk
about what led you to Brian Fahee, Not so much
about your source, but what led you because what you
did was a bit over the top, even for me.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
But no, no, don't get me wrong, it's not a criticism.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
I loved it. I want to talk a little bit
about the billboard and your other interactions that sort of
led us to where we are. Can you do that?

Speaker 11 (01:30:51):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
Folks on the phone with us is Sean Paul Reyes
from Long Island audit dot Com. You gotta go there.
He's even so, he's even got merch. But as I
tell you guys all the time, you don't really have
to like the journalism. But if you actually check him
out and go to his website and talk and actually

(01:31:13):
figure out some of or watch some of the investigations
that he's.

Speaker 5 (01:31:17):
Been a part of, what he's doing is a service.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
It may not be your cup of tea, but to
be honest with you, and I've told you this, you
guys have been with me for three years now. You
know that we need to get rid of the status
quo when it comes to getting rid of corruption, uh
and getting people to be accountable. So that's why Sean
Paul is here, and that's why he's doing what he's doing. So,
Sean Paul, I appreciate that your website is just go

(01:31:44):
to Long Island audit dot com right now.

Speaker 25 (01:31:47):
YouTube, YouTube, Facebook, Okay, Long Island dot Com has some
documents on it, but all the video and the contents
is on YouTube, Okay, Facebook, Instagram, all the typical social
media is mostly on YouTube though.

Speaker 5 (01:31:58):
Okay, yeah, mostly on YouTube, and there's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
I'm pretty sure that if you if you go down
that road, you will start digging even deeper. Sean Paul
Reyes is here. We'll talk to him a whole a
little bit more about what led to the confrontation, why
he had the billboard, the truck up there, and the
expenses to do those things. I want to I want
to ask all of that. When we get back. Let's
get some news weather in traffic. We got Mark Christopher,

(01:32:23):
he's in the BFS traffic center.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Hey, Mark, stay, Race on the radio is on w
T I see.

Speaker 5 (01:32:33):
All right, we're back.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
Intries on the radio we got to do weather and
traffic in a little bit. We've got Sean Paul Reyes
on the phone. We're gonna talk to him a little
bit more about what led to the incident. Of course
that you all saw everyone was talking about. Everyone in
the news media, from r W t i C newsroom,
the Hartford Current.

Speaker 5 (01:32:49):
Everyone had their eye on this story.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
If you don't remember it, here's the exact incident or
the part of it. Who you are now stood on
my properly. We're going to jail now.

Speaker 5 (01:33:04):
Of course that did not happen.

Speaker 3 (01:33:06):
Uh, And you know we're gonna talk to him about
everything that led up. If you watch the video, it's
it's it's long, it's extensive, but there are no cuts,
there's no edits. And you know, I watched it, and
I watched every frame of it, and I said, as
I walked through all of it, the moment Sean Paul
Reyes is told to get off my property, he dissents,

(01:33:30):
he moves, he starts backing up and removes, still ask questions.
Officer Fay heee, Sergeant Fay goes into the home. Everyone
thinks that it's over. Everybody's on their way. Nobody sticks around.
In fact, you hear him when he says it, when
Sean paul says, let's go check and see if there
are no trespassing signs, because that's what Brian Faye says,

(01:33:53):
and there's no trespassing sign up there. We didn't see
what he says, but we'll go back and check it.
And that's what he did. And I get that there
are people who are you know, coming up with this
excuse and that excuse. Somebody just sent me a message,
Sean PAULA will get your response to it in a second.
They said, well, if he cared about corruption, why didn't
he go into this story in that story? That's not

(01:34:15):
what have you ever demanded that of your regular news network,
Like you ever listened to a story and say, well,
if they covered that, why didn't they cover this?

Speaker 5 (01:34:25):
You never make that demand. No one ever does.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
Unfortunately, most people just sit around watching the news and
just accept what's given to him. This was the focus
of his investigation, and we'll get to that. There isn't
a why didn't he do this? And that I'll go
one step further, why didn't you? That's all again, and
this kind of crapping on the work that other people

(01:34:51):
aren't willing to do as I say to Mark, and
what's hard for all the time. In fact, I just
texted this to him. I said, I will never ask
of you what I will ever do a for myself.
You are not You don't work for me, right, He
is not. He is not out there doing the job
that I am not willing to do myself. If I
ask him to look up something, I'm looking it up too.

Speaker 5 (01:35:13):
I don't have minions.

Speaker 3 (01:35:15):
And Sean Paul went out there and looked up a
story that was important to him that he got a
tip on and went and investigated it, liking the fact,
you know, disliking the fashion in which he did. Fine,
criticism is worth anything, but asking him why he didn't
do this, that and a third. That's that's your job. Now,
remember what I said about complaining, No complaining about a

(01:35:39):
situation unless you're prepared to do something to make it better.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. And that's what the guy's doing. You guys
have to learn to embrace guys like him, even Mark
christ not Mark Christmas, sorry, Marko West Hartford said, I
don't always agree with him, but I always love the
time and the passion and he puts into his investments.

Speaker 5 (01:36:01):
That's respect. That's mutual respect.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
Let's get to the Traffic Center BPS Traffic Center with
Mark Christopher Hey Mark the.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Self proclaimed love child of Rush.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
Limba, running a strange program.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
You already sell the radio on News Talk Tenady WT.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
Can you tell me a little bit about why it's
called the Long Island Audit, Like, what are you auditing?

Speaker 5 (01:36:22):
Just all corruption and stuff.

Speaker 11 (01:36:25):
Yeah, So when I first started, you know, if I
would have known that my channel was going to grow
and my my social media presidence was going to grow,
it was just kind of like a little hobby at first,
I probably would have done something more general nationwide. But
I'm from Long Island, born and raised in Long Island,
New York, and Long Island audit its first Amendment auditors

(01:36:45):
and dependent journalists. We audited the government to see that
they're respecting our rights and honoring the ope that they
took to uphold the United States Constitution, which is important
to us.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
Now, if I remember correctly, what you were originally famous
for became very popular for was pointing out what in
what constitutional rights officers were not aware of while they
were doing their duty. Is that correct?

Speaker 11 (01:37:12):
Yeah? Correct. So we have a constitutional right to film
and record our government officials in the course of their
duty and our First Amendment right, and a lot of
officers do not know that. You know, there's a lack
of training. You know, they teach him how to shoot
and point a gun not somebody, but they don't teach
him the oath that they swore. They swore an oath
to pull the Constitution, and they don't teach him about

(01:37:34):
that part. And that's what it's important to test, to
test that and to make sure that they are honoring
in their oath and they are knowledgeable about it of
the law and the Constitution.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
Yeah. As an aside, I have a family member who
is a first grade detective from Long Island, and I
remember when we first started hanging out, like when he
became a first grade detective. I asked him, I said,
you know, there's a theory out there that says that
you guys will violate a perpetrators or an alleged purpose
traders civil rights or even constitutional rights, because you know

(01:38:04):
that many people in the inner city don't know their
own rights. And before I could finish the sentence, he
nod and said, yep, absolutely, and I thought that was alarming.
I thought that was like, Wow, what a dereliction of duty.

Speaker 11 (01:38:18):
They will do. They will get away with whatever they
want to get away with. And that's why accountability is important.
And you know, the police unions and everything else, they
helped skirt accountability for these law enforcement officers. Just like
former sergeant Brian Fahey, they retire, they resigned, they go
up the street and work for a different department. Brian Fahey,
in fact, a source tells me it was going to

(01:38:39):
go work for the Foxwoods Casino Police Department, the tribal
police department. He had that job lined up. I believe
they pulled his offer. That's alleged. I don't know, but
that's what they do typically, is that they'll resign, retire,
and then go work for another department in another county,
state whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:38:58):
Indeed, well, the retirement gives him and that in other words,
he's sort of is almost like retired with honors, so
to speak, which gives him another opportunity somewhere else. I
don't think, by the way, I in my personal view,
I don't think that what happened to you is going
to go without consequences. That's just my view. Maybe I'll
talk about that at another time. Let's get to the
point where you are, where you are in all of this,

(01:39:21):
how this all took place. You show up at his
cul de sac with a truck with a screen that
is displaying other encounters with Sergeant Fahi. Give me a
little background on how we were able to get this audio.
What were the other encounters that you had with him

(01:39:41):
which led you to this display.

Speaker 11 (01:39:44):
Yeah, so I brought my led billboard truck fourteen foot
bill board truck that I used for protests and to
highlight corruption, and I was playing our prior incidents funny enough,
very quickly. The only reason I own a billboard truck
is because when I rented one, the government in Nasau
County subpoena the the billboard traite company to intimidate them
they would rent to me anymore. So I decided to
buy my own. But that aside I was playing there

(01:40:07):
are private prior encounters. The first time I ever met
Sergeant Brian former Sergeant Brian Fahey was at Connecticut State
Police headquarters in Middletown. I was trying to file a
complaint on a different state trooper for I'm awfully detaining
me in the Bradley International Airport. He told me I
A wasn't there. They're in a separate part. I said, okay.

(01:40:28):
He's very dismissive, saying how busy he was. I'm very
very busy, like didn't want to take the time. He
even told me turn that camera off. Let's talk like men.
Very very dismissive, nothing crazy, just you know, dismissive of
my constitutional rights violations. And he told me, art, have
a nice day. Nice nice meeting you. I said, nice
talking to you too, sir, have a great day. And
as he goes to walk away to go back in

(01:40:50):
very busy men, I stay out there to do an
intro to my video my story. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to go to internal affairs now. So I'm
waiting for him to go back inside so I can
and you talk. So I stand outside and he says,
you're going to go to IA, right, And I was like, yeah,
I'll be going. He's like, no, you're going to go
right now?

Speaker 19 (01:41:06):
Right?

Speaker 11 (01:41:06):
Like no, I'm gonna be going. I said, I thought
you were busy. I am busy. I was like, well,
then you should get back to work. And he's like
I should get back to work, and that triggered him,
and I was like, if you're busy, and then he
immediately grabs my camera, throws it to the ground, grabs
me by my shirt, starts point poking me in my chest,
saying I'm not the one say zero consequences for that incident.

(01:41:27):
Violated my constitutional right of the freedom of press, No consequences,
zero from internal affairs. I visited state police again a
couple years later to do a folly request for some
information on the story I was working on, and he
was there. He approached me, started, he wouldn't allow me
in the public buildings, slammed the door on my leg
multiple times, again, took my camera from me yet again,

(01:41:50):
stopped it from recording, again violating my constitutional rights, and
was never held accountable for that incident. Again, the main
theme here is that this man acts with impunity because
he believes, and it's been shown that he's above the law.
Apparently that he does not. He can spend in the
journalist's face, he can pull a gun on someone that's
clearly not a threat to him or his family. You know,

(01:42:11):
he says, I'm here protecting my family.

Speaker 19 (01:42:12):
And my home.

Speaker 11 (01:42:13):
You know. I wish I would have thought this in
the moment, but I should have told him, well, your
family and your home is that way.

Speaker 3 (01:42:20):
Yeah, it was. In fact, a part of my monologue
about the incident was just that. In fact, someone called
me about it and I said, look, it is clear
to see that one he can see you leaving the premises.
Even when he walks out the door with his weapon,
he sees that you've completely backed up from your earlier position.

(01:42:42):
You continue to back up, He speeds, spade walks.

Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
To you to get in front of you.

Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
All of that to then suggest that he was one
fearful of his life too, you are a threat to him.
All of that flies in the face of any reason
or any reason in a bull assessment, because of his
actions from the moment he tells you to get off
his property to the moment where he gets his gun
and starts walking up to you in a fast pace

(01:43:10):
to get in your face. I might add, inches from
your face to start chest pump bumping you. For a
guy who's supposed to be threatened, none of that made sense.
The part that always baffles me is the people saying, well,
he shouldn't have been there, and I'm going, yeah, you're
kind of making the sexy skirt argument, but I leave that.

Speaker 11 (01:43:29):
Alone it you know, that's what I say. You know
you're blaming the victims instead of blaming the actual criminal.
And I just want to say to everybody out there
who makes that argument, is that you know a lot
of people say, well, what about Jehovah witnesses, what about
the solar panel? They all knock on your door, Right,
do you chase him out with the gun and spit
in their face?

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Right?

Speaker 11 (01:43:47):
You don't. But I'll go even further. I promise you
if in a law enforcement officers investigating you or your family,
they will have no problem looking in your windows yep,
knocking on your door and trying to ask you questions.
And they're not leave right away like I did. You're
gonna be like, get off my property and they're not
going to leave again. When did we the people? When
did the people of this country become subservient to our

(01:44:09):
public servant? We need to hold them accountable, even in
politics and everything in every facet of our government. We
should not idolize anybody. We should hold everybody accountable. They
work for us, and it's time we remind them of it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
Let me ask you this, sum Paul, do you believe
that the people who are criticizing you are looking at
your actions as an indictment against the police department and
not paying attention to paying attention to this in an
individual way, Because that's the way I see their argument,

(01:44:44):
and I think that that's sort of where we what
we've become as a society, is that your interaction with
former Sergeant Brian Fahe is you attacking all police. They
are seeing him as the or identifying him as law
enforcement and not as an individual who violated your rights

(01:45:04):
obviously twice and in this case provoked you or tried
to provoke you into an altercation that could have led
to somebody's death or serious injury.

Speaker 19 (01:45:15):
Right.

Speaker 11 (01:45:15):
And that's a good point you make, because this is
what I've seen. I've been doing this for four years.
This is what I've seen for the critics, and I
love criticism and criticize mill you want, I just want
to have an honest conversation. You know, there's got to
be we have to be honest about the facts about things.
This is why I record. It's all there. You could
watch it. But it's a good point. You make because
this is what these kinds of the people who support

(01:45:37):
the police without again and I support the police, right,
But the people who support the police blindly, what they
do is say they're heroes, right, this is what they say.
Police officers are our heroes. I back the blue. I'm
a supporter of the police, you know. But they take
it to an extreme. Not every I have a lot
of friends in law enforcement, again from my from just

(01:46:01):
people supporting me across this country. I bring them on
my YouTube channel. We have conversations. We might not agree
on everything, but the one thing we all should agree
on is the Constitution, in our constitutional rights. And by
labeling law enforcement officers as heroes, you are psyoping yourself.
You are there just because you wake up and you
took a job with that and you put on a

(01:46:22):
gun and a badge every morning doesn't make you a hero.
Can a law enforcement officer be heroic? Yes? They can?

Speaker 10 (01:46:28):
Are There probably.

Speaker 11 (01:46:29):
Many law enforcement officers that a heroic, sure, but not
every sergeant. Former sergeant Bryan's say he is no hero.
He is the villain. He is a criminal, and.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
It's but he gets to be. But that's the beauty
of it, right in the grand scheme of it. And
I think anybody can agree with that. Brian fayhe unfortunately,
because of his actions, gets to be a hero, not
because of the badge, but not in spite of it either.
Right here is a human being. Which again that's the
point I've always made about. Yes, do I back the
blue as an institution, of course I can. But you

(01:47:01):
know what I can think beyond the pale, I can say,
are law enforcement. They are the guys who usually run
towards the danger instead of running from it.

Speaker 5 (01:47:09):
However, they are human beings.

Speaker 3 (01:47:11):
They are men, women, and their brothers and sisters and husbands,
and some of them look their character can be flawed
because they're just as human as you and me.

Speaker 11 (01:47:21):
Right, but even more so. And this is why I
believe that we need higher standards of law enforcement. Is
that if the facies of the departments across our country
were held accountable. You know, law enforcement agencies have lower
standards than a McDonald. If a McDonald's employees spit in
my face, they would be terminated. If a Walmart employee,
the door greeterer, spat in my face, they would be

(01:47:42):
terminated immediately, not retire with a golden taxpayer funded parachute.
They wouldn't keep their pension, they wouldn't have their to
keep all their benefits of Walmart and get promoted and
all these things. Again, when did we get such low
standards in our law enforcement agencies. It's fine to back
the blue, but when one of these officers acts outside
the scope of their duty, we have to be able

(01:48:04):
to hold them accountable, and they have to be open
for criticism. You know, yes, they they do run towards
the danger. But when they don't like uve all day Texas,
when they allow children to die and they don't do
anything because they're being cowardly they don't want to lose
their life, we have to criticize that exactly. Yeah, you
can't praise them for everything good they do and then
ignore or try and gaslight everyone to say, oh, he's

(01:48:25):
the problem. He knocked on the door. You know that
is not the way we're supposed to live in this country. Son,
just gaslight everybody and say that they're the problem.

Speaker 5 (01:48:33):
Son, Paul Rays is on the phone with us.

Speaker 3 (01:48:35):
Before we let you get out of here, let's talk
a little bit about a guy I don't want to,
you know, poison my airwaves. Talking about. But your encounter
with let Ned Lamont, the guy literally gave you sort
of the push off. He was absolutely dismissive because he's
a worm. But I totally a lot of people appreciated

(01:48:55):
the fact that you stood up to him. I thought
that was a great get a great interview, even though
he said nothing, refused to even talk and looked any
But I think it showed exactly the type of torp
he can be.

Speaker 5 (01:49:08):
Tell me a little bit about that in a minute.

Speaker 11 (01:49:10):
This is and this is exactly, and this is what
I'm talking about, that the governor a constitutional rights violation
and a grave injustice. Objectively, No one can tell me
that this is not. Objectively. My cameraman and I were
arrested high bonds higher than people who amid violent crimes,
seventy five thousand and fifty thousand dollars bonds. That's a
step by the police. I have a lot of problems,

(01:49:31):
you know, not a kineticut resident. I've been here a lot.
I love the state, I love the people, but yeah,
there's a lot of problems in your criminal justice system.
Your prosecutors aren't elected, The state's attorneys here aren't elected.
The police office, police department sets the bond. That's not
the case. I traveled this entire country. That's not the
case in almost every other state or in this in
the United States. But as far as ned Lamont, he's

(01:49:53):
the governor. He's supposed to be the ultimate enforcer and
the ultimate defender of constitutional rights.

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
That's right.

Speaker 11 (01:50:00):
And he just gave me the cold shoulder, would not
even talk to me. He told me, I'm not helping
my cause that I'm playing games.

Speaker 3 (01:50:09):
Women, you're not helping your cause. It's according to ned Lamnt,
it's supposed to be his job to help your cause,
not yours.

Speaker 11 (01:50:17):
And I told him, I told him to his faith, governor,
I think you forgot your place. You're a public servant
and you need to start acting like when you're not
a king. You work for the people. I think we
just as a nation, as a people, we need to
get out of this. Like, oh, he's the governor. How
dare your prison like that? What do you mean he's
a public servant. Of course, that's who I'm supposed to approach.

(01:50:38):
And Newslash you know, he's like, oh, we'll contact you
never heard from him?

Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
Yeah, and you won't and you won't. We listen. We
know who these people are and how they Paul, I
want to say, I gotta go, but I thank you
for coming and thank you for spending so much time
with us. Please promise me you'll come back.

Speaker 11 (01:51:00):
I will, I will come back. We can have we
can have more conversation. Get me one of these people
criticized me, and we can have a debate.

Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
Hey, you know what, if you're open to it, absolutely
I'll make it happen. So Paul Reyes from.

Speaker 11 (01:51:12):
From Law Conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:51:15):
Thank you, Long Island Audit. Make sure you check them
out on YouTube. Thank you, boss man. I appreciate you
being here. You got it, you got it. We'll we'll
get well, we'll get him back on the program. I
definitely will. I've got his number, sent him a text.
We go watch his videos. Let's get to some news
with John Silva. Weather is being covered by Bob Larson

(01:51:36):
John Larson acause that would be a mess. Bob Larson's
got weather and Mark Christopher is it a BPS traffic center?
Hey Mark? All right, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:51:45):
Race on the radio is getting ready to drop some
knowledge until t I see news.

Speaker 3 (01:51:53):
Of course. Anyway, we're back Entree Center Radio and I've
got some other news and other views I want getting too,
especially about the billionaires who live in Blue states. It's
a real, real Connecticut Sentinel posted today on their x account.
I want to talk about that a little bit. It's
it's just a wild piece of information to have. We'll

(01:52:16):
get into that. But of course there are people reacting
to my interview with Sean Paul Rayes of Long Island Audit,
and I want to get to those. Let's start off
with Steve and Waterbury. How are you, sir?

Speaker 16 (01:52:28):
I'm good.

Speaker 8 (01:52:29):
Just what happens to be that I'm the Master's disaster.
That being said, I would like to end my conversation
with how if I was an investigated journalist now? I
think I would like to approach law enforcement. But you know,
we as citizens, the police, officers, the military, we all
have to follow rules of the law, and unfortunately our

(01:52:53):
enemy doesn't, whether criminals or uh you know, for at war,
and that's one of the unfortunate things about it.

Speaker 19 (01:53:00):
Now.

Speaker 8 (01:53:00):
Growing up, we used to I had actually few friends
I used to have coffee with when was a police officer,
a nice guy. The other one was the kid that
was kind of troublesome grew it well, that cop actually
pistol whipped this guy.

Speaker 11 (01:53:16):
As Wow, cops used to be.

Speaker 8 (01:53:19):
A lot rougher, the rubber hose, all that stuff they
used to see that used to be today. And the
worst part is flame wasn't as bad as it is now.
I mean it's gotten exponentially worse.

Speaker 3 (01:53:30):
Yeah, but I think that there's a degree. Look again,
I don't expect everyone to be noble. And there's this
thing that I've said that that I think Sean Paul
was sort of making that statement as well, was saying
that we can't go, you know, walk blindly into this
idea that people are noble or we get to see

(01:53:52):
the moral high ground to individuals because they put on
a badge and a gun because they are ill human,
which is again what you know, there are two sides
to that coin, Steve.

Speaker 5 (01:54:04):
What I say is this. I say this, when I.

Speaker 3 (01:54:07):
Look at people like Black Lives Matter demonizing all police,
I push back on them and I say, those individuals
are human. Are there bad cops in those in that group? Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:54:19):
Would you appreciate or would can you appreciate my.

Speaker 3 (01:54:22):
Point of view? If I were to say, when you
say all cops are bad can I retort by saying,
so are all blacks? You would turn around and go no,
you would, you would freak out. So what I'm saying
is is that you have to point out when people
say that the good cops need to point out the
bad cops. My response to Black Lives Matter is you
first point out the bad people, so.

Speaker 8 (01:54:48):
There's no argument the Yeah, so that's that's that that.

Speaker 3 (01:54:52):
I think. That's what Reyes is trying to point out
is that in this instant they didn't like what he
had to do, and then they put Faye on the
pedestal as he represents all cops, and what Sean Rayes
is doing is demonizing all cops.

Speaker 5 (01:55:08):
And that's not the case.

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
This is an altercation with an individual who chose to
do something reprehensible.

Speaker 11 (01:55:15):
That's it, exactly exactly.

Speaker 8 (01:55:17):
Now, like that congressman that's running, just like he got
falsely arrested for self defense. Yeah, that was totally wrong.
That was you know, we gotta weed out that kind
of stuff. But if I was to be an investigated journalist,
and I might be wrong about this, because I'm not.
If I was to go film something, I find a
lot of these things on YouTube. It seems like there's
confiscation right from beginning, as opposed to, Hey, I'm here

(01:55:40):
for this reason. I have my constitutional rights. Just want
you to know why I'm here, you know, and maybe
even smooth it over with you know, the superiors ahead
of time. I think it probably would go a lot
easier and then show up on a regular basis, not
you know all the time, but at least get to
know some of the people so you don't have that confrontation,

(01:56:01):
you know what.

Speaker 3 (01:56:02):
But again, you know, I think that from what we
saw or his earlier confrontations with Brian Fahey, that this
was a situation where there was no way to go
but down. And I just my view, it just seemed
like there was this there was no reconciliation that was
gonna happen between these two gentlemen. It was only going
to escalate to a far worse place. And I think

(01:56:23):
we got there, Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 8 (01:56:25):
And I think that CAP's totally wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:56:27):
Yeah, absolutely, Let me get some other people in here.
Scott's in the car. How are you, Scott? I'm all right, sir,
what's up?

Speaker 16 (01:56:35):
Good?

Speaker 10 (01:56:36):
I just went I just went real quickly.

Speaker 24 (01:56:37):
A little piece of trivia that you mentioned like you
like even like that movie Daylight, yes, with with Fly
well his co host, well, co star, and that was
Amy Brennerman. And Amy is from Glastonbury, condemicy.

Speaker 3 (01:56:50):
That is correct. I forgot who with a love interest
was in that Amy Brenneman, who also shared a series
where she plays a judge. Right, yes, yeah, judging Amy
is judging Amy.

Speaker 24 (01:57:02):
It was really weird because.

Speaker 23 (01:57:04):
Like I went to high school with her, she was
in my class.

Speaker 24 (01:57:07):
Yeah, and now yeah, I knew her pretty well. It's
funny because like when you watch like the movie he
I dated someone who was one of Who's so who
the who is Diane Venora's sister? And I also knew
Amy and the movie so the two of those were
in there with al Pacino, and it was just funny
when you're watching it and you know somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:57:27):
Yeah that's right. Isn't that crazy? That is pretty wild weird? Yeah, yeah, great,
thank you sir, much appreciated. Let's go to uh, let's
go to Mike in Bristol.

Speaker 10 (01:57:39):
Hey, Mike, Hey, rees again, I have no issue with
Sean caught himself an investigative journalist, Okay, my my issue
with what he did was he's claiming that he was
investigating corruption.

Speaker 11 (01:57:57):
Okay, the Hearts just published.

Speaker 15 (01:57:59):
An article like a month ago, I saw the.

Speaker 10 (01:58:02):
Highest paid state trooper in the in the state is
making four hundred and thirty nine grand a year. So
there's a thousand state troopers in Connecticut. Why go single
out fad Well?

Speaker 3 (01:58:15):
What matter? Well, you might Mike, did you miss the
reason why this even escalated to this confrontation because here
but no, no, he when you're asking him, hold on,
you're asking him to investigate something broader when what happened
was he was there when he first shows up to
to file a complaint for something completely unrelated to Brian Fahey,

(01:58:39):
he encounters Fahi that first time, that he encounters him
a second time in both and then after posting those videos,
he gets a tip about the guy that he has
encountered that says, hey, here's some other stuff. Remember that
guy you got into the confrontation with twice. Well, guess
what there's this. So as a journalist, when you're already

(01:58:59):
down a and somebody gives you a tip about something,
you generally go towards where that has led you because
of these these confrontations. Now asking him to focus on
that other stuff. Not that he shouldn't, but what the
impetus of all of this was were the first two confrontations,
which then led him to the fact that this guy
is not only rude and disrespectful and violates people's constitutional rights.

Speaker 5 (01:59:24):
But he's making a crapload of money.

Speaker 10 (01:59:27):
Oh you know, I'm not disagreeing with the fact that,
you know, he made a lot of money, but I
just don't think Sean should have gone to that house
because he knows what was gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (01:59:38):
Then you got to have that problem when it comes
to guys like Brian Ross at ABC News.

Speaker 5 (01:59:42):
Brian Ross made a career doing that well.

Speaker 10 (01:59:46):
On the same note, though, you know, Sean could have
just gone to, say, you know, headquarters and started questioning
the higher up there and worked his way back down
to Fabi.

Speaker 3 (01:59:58):
But you know how many but Mike, how many times
have you seen where a situation happens in the news
and the news reporter who found out where either the
perpetrator lived or the accused has lived and knocked on
their front door to speak to them, and the people
have said no comment, no comment, didn't even open the door.

(02:00:18):
How many people have you seen do that because I
have all, Michael, my entire life.

Speaker 10 (02:00:23):
Let me say this though, you know, Sean did an
interview with the Harper Current a couple of days ago,
two three days ago, and the Current quotes Sean is
saying that he got the tip about you know, the overtime,
but he has found no evidence that corruption exists. So

(02:00:43):
he says that to the current. But then he comes
out and is saying just the opposite.

Speaker 3 (02:00:48):
But what did he Okay, well, listen, if we got
to litigate it, Mike, let's litigate it. What was the
reason Sean Fayhee as a journalist, whether you like it
or not, why does he show up at Brian Fahee's
door to ask.

Speaker 11 (02:00:59):
What to ask him about his overtime?

Speaker 3 (02:01:03):
There you go, Now he's doing he's doing the job
of a journalist by not publishing that the guy is
on the take, or publishing that he's getting unearned overtime.
He went there because he got a tip to ask
the question, do you have a statement about this allegation
that you're getting overtime working on a desk job? And

(02:01:24):
instead of answering that question or saying no comment, get
off my property, it escalates to something else.

Speaker 10 (02:01:30):
I don't know. I think we're gonna have to agree
to disagreement.

Speaker 3 (02:01:33):
That's right, but that's okay.

Speaker 10 (02:01:35):
My issue is, though, like I said, I don't know,
you just don't go to a man's house where his
family is, especially a police officer. You know, I have
an issue with that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:45):
I don't know. And I listen to me, Mike, from
the bottom of my heart, I don't want you to
think I don't I totally understand where you're coming from
because from your point of view, and because of what
we saw, anything bad could have happened in that moment,
and I know that's the point, and you're not looking

(02:02:05):
at it in a sense of, you know, looking at
anybody evil. Is that in that incident you could have
the perfect storm of a situation where somebody ends up
either losing their life or being seriously injured in that moment.
And you are looking at this from a perspective of
he doesn't recognize him as a journalist. This police officer,

(02:02:25):
who may have been hot headed or thought that he
was under threat, may have escalated into something where something
far more tragic could have happened. And I know that's
the point of view you're coming from.

Speaker 10 (02:02:36):
Yeah, so let me just point one one other point
I wanted to make to that. I don't know if
it was mentioned because I listened to ninety five percent
of the interview with him. Yes, you know, Sean gets
paid based on clips.

Speaker 11 (02:02:47):
And views from YouTube.

Speaker 3 (02:02:49):
Sure, so you know.

Speaker 10 (02:02:51):
He's obviously going to post the most controversial clips he
can find and post those on YouTube because that's what's
gonna drive his income.

Speaker 3 (02:03:01):
So you're saying that his motives may not have been pure?
Is what you're saying based upon that exactly? Okay, that's it,
you know what, That's an interesting opinion, but you know what,
I'll deal with that later. But I appreciate you, and
I get where you're coming from. I get where you're
coming from. Thank you, buddy, I appreciate you. Let me
take before we go to break Mark and West Hartford,
who's of the same vein of course of Sean, John

(02:03:23):
Paul Rays, What did you think?

Speaker 16 (02:03:25):
Man?

Speaker 13 (02:03:26):
So I guess I'm I guess I am pure?

Speaker 10 (02:03:28):
Huh over the years.

Speaker 13 (02:03:31):
So here's the thing in this last caller, what a
great what what a great caller? To follow is there's
two styles of reporting and everything in between. So do
you remember Chris Hansen used to do to catch.

Speaker 3 (02:03:43):
A president damn right, still does it.

Speaker 13 (02:03:46):
Everybody watched it, it was on but he remember it
was like a thing and everybody liked it.

Speaker 10 (02:03:52):
So so the way.

Speaker 13 (02:03:53):
The analogy I use this, he was fishing from the
side of the pond. He was using a traditional hook
and line and worm, and he brought him in. Then
you got guys like and I'm not gonna put myself
in that category with Sean Paul Rays. But then you
got guys that dive into the water with a spear
and catch the Either way they're catching the fish. You

(02:04:14):
might not like the way they do it, but that's
what he's doing, and you don't. You and him inspired me.
I did it from Mark Christopher go on Mark from
West Hartford. I went into my archives and I grabbed
my two engagements with Ned Lamont at the of all places.
My wife, thank God again.

Speaker 16 (02:04:32):
Guy, that is good.

Speaker 13 (02:04:33):
Drag me to a pick your own flower farm. There's
a grand opening and who's there? Ned and Annie Lamont?

Speaker 3 (02:04:40):
Wow?

Speaker 13 (02:04:41):
My wife headed for the other side of this event,
and I went up to him.

Speaker 11 (02:04:45):
So I posted the two videos.

Speaker 13 (02:04:47):
You gotta watch them. I didn't title them properly, but
they're on mark from West Part. But I just went up.
I just threw them up there now and you'll see
he literally got in his car with a security detail
left because the first thing I engage him with COVID,
I literally called him out for killing people, putting COVID
positive people. And he tried to turn around where he
did the best. I go, yeah, that's why we were

(02:05:08):
like third in the country for most deaths and nursing homes.
And he ran into a store. Then when he came out,
and I don't even know if anybody knows this, he
went on an economic development trip to Israel. Of course
nobody covered it in the media, but I did. He
found out that one day he sat with two people
that do business with Annie Lamont's company.

Speaker 3 (02:05:28):
I remember you were talking about that.

Speaker 13 (02:05:31):
So you'll see the video on me and that's him.
I'm literally following it.

Speaker 3 (02:05:34):
I'm not cheating, but you make up. But your overall
point is is that what he experience is exactly what
you experienced. These guys are not used to being confronted,
which again also goes back to what I was saying
about about a g tong with these people who are
showing up at press conferences, not even asking questions, just
stenographers for these folks, and printing the written word by

(02:05:56):
these guys, are the spoken word by these guys, and
then getting back in their going back to the station.

Speaker 5 (02:06:02):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (02:06:02):
And when you guys confront them, these guys, they don't
even know how to act because they're going You're asking questions,
Oh my.

Speaker 13 (02:06:08):
Goodness, So where does your your last call to draw
the line? Was I out of line? Your ned la
monsters a good point in a public place?

Speaker 11 (02:06:16):
You know it was?

Speaker 13 (02:06:17):
I Was I inappropriate for doing that? Or did I
get some good content to show to show the taxpayers
and residents in Connecticut what a fraud he is.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
Yeah, and his inability to answer and an inability to
answer tough questions, which is a part of his job.

Speaker 23 (02:06:32):
Yeah, got in his car.

Speaker 13 (02:06:33):
He didn't even turn around. He knew, he knew, he didn't.
He couldn't address that quay. But but Sean pak boy,
I'm gonna follow him, and I guess I'll use him
as a benchmark.

Speaker 3 (02:06:42):
There you go exactly. I think we all know we
need more. I'm telling you we need more like him.
I stand by that claim. Thank you.

Speaker 11 (02:06:49):
Mark.

Speaker 5 (02:06:49):
Let's get another check of our news with John Silva.

Speaker 3 (02:06:52):
Bob Larson is in for Jason Katarina and Mark Christopher's
in the VPS traffic center. Hey Mark the Honesty app.

Speaker 2 (02:06:58):
Let's you jump back to the moment you missed from
WTI SEE News Talk Tennady. Download the free Odyssey app
search WTI SEE News Talk Tennady and tap earlier today
to get started.

Speaker 3 (02:07:09):
All right, Normally I would do what happened was, but
I promised at the beginning and the show I wanted
to kind of show some respects, So I got some
time to do this here. And if it's gonna sound
like I'm going off on a tangent, but I let
me first from the beginning apologize. But this is important
for me to get out. One of the things that

(02:07:31):
I love about being here on the radio is what
I've been able to experience over and over again. And
I'm having a sort of second bout of this really
really great thing. As I said, when I worked in
Boston at RKO, it was fantastic the way that people
started emailing me and contacting me about things in and

(02:07:54):
around the Boston area. And it wasn't there were the
other they called it. And just like you don't know
what you're talking about, you don't know anything about this, Todd.
I know there were those people who were just angry.
I experienced them here WTC. Whatever it's got here do.
But there are others who put their faith in the program.

(02:08:15):
They liked it, they enjoyed it, they thought it was interesting,
and immediately stuck their neck out to help. There are
so many of them, you know, because they're they're always here.

Speaker 11 (02:08:26):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:08:27):
And I appreciate them, of course. You know Mark and
West Hartford, Craig and the car. You know Laurie, who's
you know, head of research here at Recent Radio, who's
not here today? Where the hell is she?

Speaker 11 (02:08:39):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:08:39):
And so many others. Mattio in Bristol, a name I
gave him because he reminds me of a person who
passed away at the World Trade Center, Mattio. And there
are so many others, countless others that are going to
have of course, Stevie v uh. But those guys have

(02:09:00):
always contacting me, sending me stuff and letting me know
what's going on. And I've never once in my head
said to myself to one of them, Uh, you do
know I followed the news like every day, twenty four
hours a day. They're always sending me something one because
and this is the reason why I love it. It's

(02:09:22):
not because they're trying to do my job for me.
It's because they want me to do my job well.
They want me to do my job and be on
top of it. They are assisting me in ways that
they will never understand, in a way that I love
that they will never understand. So I appreciate them. And
I said, I normally I'm gonna forget some people, but
you know who you are. Tommy O also sends me everybody.

(02:09:46):
They're always Julian Boston, always sending me news stories because
they want me on top of my game, because they
believe in this product and they believe in what they
believe in what we're doing here. The other part about
it is, and I'll say this, they've never had a
reason to believe that we could change a thing. This
could have been just another show where we were just

(02:10:08):
complaining about stuff, but that was never my intent. And
if they didn't believe that we could change things before,
I hope they believe in it now. And with the
assists that I get from them all day, every day,
even on weekends, shows me that they believe that maybe
something can change. They have faith, and in some ways

(02:10:28):
they put that in me, and I will always be
grateful and I will always owe them for that. So
I just want to get that out there. Let's get
some weather and track it again. Bob Larson is in
for Jason, Katina and Mark Christopher's Inn a BPS traffic center.

Speaker 5 (02:10:46):
Another good friend is always keeping me. He told me
about the Loop?

Speaker 3 (02:10:50):
No, no about No, you didn't tell me about the Loop.
What did you tell me about?

Speaker 11 (02:10:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:10:54):
I can't remember which road why you were explaining to me.
But you're always telling me something new. That's why I
love that about your That that's why I always interact
with you, because I almost feel like you're kind of
another member of the we. We are another member of
the show, So I kind of feel like, you know,
it's all the big Do you know something I don't know? Yeah, No,
I'm just saying. I just I just love the assist
man when you come in and back and forth. It's
fun to do alone. Practically, I track somebody in here.

Speaker 7 (02:11:18):
I know, I mean, other than Roseanne showing up, there's
really not a lot of a lot of people in
the background exactly, So.

Speaker 3 (02:11:24):
I gotta appear at the flow. Yes, I'm just chob
delivery right now.

Speaker 11 (02:11:29):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (02:11:30):
Everybody? You know who it is. You know it's Reas
on the radio, Frederick Douglass of the twenty first century.
It's w t i C News Talk. Excuse me, we'll
get to some last minute phone calls before we get
up out of here.

Speaker 11 (02:11:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:11:47):
There was this thing that the Connecticut Sentinel put up,
and it's called a map excuse me, a map of
billionaires in and around the United States. And I thought
this was interesting. Roland, if I had to ask, and
by the way, Carmelo, you one hundred percent right, it
was the mix master. That was what Mark Christopher was

(02:12:10):
helping me with. Roland, if I had to ask you,
of all the states, all fifty states, what state do
you think has the most billionaires.

Speaker 1 (02:12:21):
The most billionaires.

Speaker 3 (02:12:23):
Yes, I'll give you a hint with the number, and
then you tell me where you believe that they would
possibly live. The number is one hundred and ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (02:12:32):
One hundred ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (02:12:33):
Yeah, one hundred and ninety nine billionaires live in this state.

Speaker 1 (02:12:37):
Which one do you think it is New York.

Speaker 3 (02:12:40):
Ah, that is second. California has one hundred and ninety nine.

Speaker 15 (02:12:47):
New York.

Speaker 3 (02:12:49):
Comes in second with a want one hundred and thirty
six billionaires one hundred and thirty six. That means that
between the two, California and New York they have the
most three hundred and thirty five.

Speaker 1 (02:13:08):
That makes sense because you always see the millionaires, yeah,
traveling back and forth from New.

Speaker 3 (02:13:14):
York to California or Los Angela.

Speaker 1 (02:13:16):
Yeah, La, So that means there they're visiting the billionaires.

Speaker 3 (02:13:20):
Yeah. The two states right behind them are Florida and Texas.
Florida has a one hundred and seventeen billionaires, Texas with
eighty three. Those two combined only two hundred billionaires, only
two hundred.

Speaker 1 (02:13:36):
So how many billionaires are there in the United States?

Speaker 3 (02:13:39):
Oh, I'm so glad that you asked. According to this
the US Census, there are eight hundred and ninety nine
billionaires who live in the United States, but only three states.

Speaker 19 (02:13:54):
Is it three?

Speaker 11 (02:13:54):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:13:55):
Three states? Well, I say two states have zero billionaires
living in them and the third one is not really state,
it's the Commonwealth, So you already know it's DC. But
only two states do not have any billionaires to speak of.
One is really really easy. I'll give you a hint.
It's cold, very cold.

Speaker 1 (02:14:16):
Huh oh, very cold, very very cold.

Speaker 3 (02:14:23):
Very very very cold. No, No, it's Alaska. Alaska has none,
no reason to be a billionaire up there. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:14:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:14:32):
And the other one is this one makes.

Speaker 5 (02:14:34):
Sense, West Virginia. West Virginia has no.

Speaker 3 (02:14:38):
Hawaii has three, and that's like probably one of the
smallest states in the Union. They've got three, Alabama one,
New Mexico one, Idaho, no, Yudaho, that's got one. Yeah, Idaho,
New Mexico, Alabama, Kentucky, Iowa, North and South Dakota only

(02:15:03):
have one, only have one. And some of the largest
states in the Union are Illinois with thirty, Georgia with
twenty one, Nevada with nineteen, Arizona's got fifteen, Colorado thirteen,
Pennsylvania's got twenty three, and everybody else, of course, is
just like you know, they're working around the single digits.

(02:15:25):
Louisiana have two, Louisiana is four four, yeah, just four.
Puerto Rico has one, has one. Oh, and I was wrong.
I apologize. Delaware has zero. DC's got two. DC is
wrong DC's only got two, but Delaware's got zero Delaware

(02:15:46):
and that's because the Bidens don't make any more money.

Speaker 1 (02:15:50):
Were they billionaires?

Speaker 3 (02:15:51):
No, no, they were just billionaires. So yeah, they spent
all their money. But it's interesting that some of the
i mean New York and California with the most billionaires.
One of reason why I bring it up is because,
you know, we we've got a lot of this, you know,
taxation going on in some of the most liberal states,
New York in California being the most liberal, and with
the rising costs to live in both of those states,

(02:16:13):
the only thing that they can do is raise taxes.
So I'm looking at this number and I'm going, what
are we going to see in the next five years?
Can one hundred and ninety nine billionaires afford to stay
in California? What happens next? You know, in the next
five years, are we going to see that number start
to dwindle down to like one eighty one seventy uh
for California. One thirty six is not a lot for

(02:16:35):
New York. New York is completely I mean, it's incredibly
smaller than California. When are we going to see that
number go down to one hundred. In fact, I'm really
inclined to believe that that number is going to go
down to one hundred within the next four years, maybe
even three, because of the way in which things are
going in New York City. So I don't know that

(02:16:57):
just I really really feel like that's those numbers are astronomical.
And I would have never guessed that there were eight
hundred and ninety nine, almost nine hundred billionaires in the country.

Speaker 1 (02:17:07):
I would have never thought that, what would what was
the number you? I would have thought that like maybe
in the.

Speaker 5 (02:17:15):
Low fours.

Speaker 1 (02:17:17):
Yeah, well maybe not even in the low for really.

Speaker 3 (02:17:20):
You thought it was a lot less, Yeah, billionaires.

Speaker 1 (02:17:23):
I think more like three per date or something.

Speaker 13 (02:17:26):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (02:17:27):
I'm in class, I'm with you. When I looked at this, I.

Speaker 3 (02:17:29):
Went wow, for me, that is a lot of a
lot of billionaires in the country. And if you're looking
at that like a person like Elizabeth Warren who wants
to tax them, I can see where she would get
that that idea. I was like, you know, we got
almost nine hundred billionaires there, Well let's tax them all.
That does make sense because when I think about billionaires,
I really don't think of them as living in the US,

(02:17:51):
I think of like the United Arab Emirates. You know,
when I think of billionaires, those guys are like oil magnets. Sure,
we've got the Warren Buffett's here. You know, we got
the Mark Cubans there, even Donald Trump for that matter,
even Oprah Winfrey. But to know that we have eight
hundred and ninety nine in the country, maybe I'm different.

(02:18:15):
I'm just saying now I'm looking at a billion dollars
as obtainable. I don't know, it's too much for me.
A billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:18:28):
A lot of dirt.

Speaker 3 (02:18:30):
No, I think. I think what you can do, and
I think it's possible. I think that you have to innovate.
I think that you have.

Speaker 5 (02:18:38):
I've always believed in the.

Speaker 3 (02:18:40):
Idea that necessity is the mother of invention, and I
believe that if you create the right thing for the
right issue, that you can obtain wealth. In this country,
everyone's looking for convenience and everyone's coming that's Look, we
live in a country of complaining, and with all of

(02:19:01):
the complaining, all you have to find that thing, that
universal thing that everybody complains about and fix that. And
if you do, and people are willing to pay a
price for it. You could be a billionaire in no time.

Speaker 1 (02:19:13):
So you don't think innovation and creation has underlining factors
to it that may not be on h Do.

Speaker 3 (02:19:22):
You believe that there's there's there's there's areas for corruption
and dirty deeds?

Speaker 1 (02:19:28):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (02:19:29):
Yeah, absolutely, without a doubt. Do I believe that some
people cheat and cut corners? Without a doubt?

Speaker 10 (02:19:35):
I I know that, But.

Speaker 3 (02:19:38):
Yeah, I'm not going to go I cannot be under
the impression or to condemn people without that knowledge. I
know that some people look at billionaires or look at
those people who have that money, and they go like
in the back of their mind and just go, yeah,
I don't it's no way he made that much money
and was on the up and up or was the

(02:19:58):
purest of the pure. He had to have done something dirty.
But I'll tell you where that comes from, and it's
really become. People have a very uncomfortable relationship with money.
They just do. They have this this idea that money
in order to have it, you must be unscrupulous and

(02:20:19):
there's a nobility and poverty. Like you know, I don't
have any money, so I must be pure. If you do,
you must be crooked and I don't really believe that.

Speaker 1 (02:20:29):
I just don't they think most of Okay, so if
you had to guess, and this is just oh yeah,
we're just trying to talk about anybody in a negative way.
But eight hundred and ninety nine billionaires, if you had
to guess, how many of them do you think, oh,
we're unscrupulous?

Speaker 3 (02:20:45):
Yeah? How many do I think out of eight hundred
and ninety nine were unscrupulous?

Speaker 1 (02:20:50):
I'll just say a percentage, don't You don't have to say,
like I can say a number, okay, seven, So.

Speaker 3 (02:20:59):
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I don't know, really, I would
really need to know, like the overall statistics. I would
go this way, I'll go this far, and I think
it's half yeah exactly, I was gonna do the same thing.
I can say half. I'll just go. You know what,
I don't think everybody's on I don't think everybody's the
you know, as pure as the driven snow. I'm sure

(02:21:19):
that some people may have to go, may have had
to cut corners, uh to get by. It doesn't make
them evil.

Speaker 1 (02:21:26):
When you got to also think about it. The guy
at the top, that's the billionaire, he doesn't know everything
that's that's true going on. So he has people taking
things into their own hands trying to make him satisfied,
and he may have no idea what's actually transpiring.

Speaker 3 (02:21:43):
We have a saying in my house where there's a billionaire,
there's a millionaire looking to become a billionaire under him.
You know that guy that envy and that cost exactly right,
exactly right. Let's get red and then get a body here.
How are you, Fred?

Speaker 26 (02:22:02):
Hey, I'm good.

Speaker 11 (02:22:03):
So I'm just circling back.

Speaker 26 (02:22:05):
I was selling Middletown to you yesterday. Yes, So today
I'm drinking coffee with the various Stuttell and he draws
my attention that there's someone spread round up out on
the sidewalk in one of the pre beds. You know
they're weeds in them, Yes, and uh, he says he's
you know, he's not signing.

Speaker 11 (02:22:24):
You know, there's no signage.

Speaker 10 (02:22:25):
So I'm like, is that right?

Speaker 27 (02:22:26):
So I run out and I tell her, I go, hey, man,
it's just supposed to have a side.

Speaker 26 (02:22:32):
Meanwhile, at this point he'd moved on to the building
property and I said, oh no, we'll he like muttered
and and got about twenty paces and goes, I appreciate you, man,
and I'm gonna yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:22:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:22:43):
So meanwhile, by the time I get back inside, my
buddy has looked up the code on it, and you gotta.

Speaker 27 (02:22:48):
Sign if you spray up stuff, even on your private
that's right down.

Speaker 16 (02:22:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:22:53):
So this bastard.

Speaker 27 (02:22:54):
So I'm just like firing a shot across the bow
with this phone call to THESSAN radio show that I
got to take the die Quock Glypho State fight to Middletown.

Speaker 11 (02:23:05):
I got to find out who to talk to, you know,
go complain to someone, and then.

Speaker 26 (02:23:09):
I'm gonna put up I do cartoons and vicious poems.
I'm gonna put up some signage there.

Speaker 3 (02:23:15):
You know, you gotta do it.

Speaker 26 (02:23:17):
Poison.

Speaker 3 (02:23:18):
I'm telling you this state. I don't know what happened to.
Its sort of green thumb, but it's gone black.

Speaker 11 (02:23:24):
It's gone black, dude, black heart, some black.

Speaker 3 (02:23:29):
Cart Thank you, boss man. Last but not lease Evan
is on the line. How are you, sir?

Speaker 10 (02:23:36):
Hey good?

Speaker 3 (02:23:37):
How's going pretty good? What's up?

Speaker 15 (02:23:39):
So I actually agree with you on the unscrupulous thing
with billionaires. It's not that I mean, that's a distraction
that billionaires like to use, like Oh, we're not unscrupulous.
It's it's made on the backs of labor. That's truly
what it is if you think about it.

Speaker 13 (02:23:53):
But it's not.

Speaker 5 (02:23:54):
Unpaid labor, now, Evan, it's not unpaid right.

Speaker 11 (02:23:58):
It is not.

Speaker 15 (02:23:59):
But those millionaires who are not even paying a living wage.
I mean, heaven forbid, we allow somebody to make enough
money to take a week vacation. It's not even a
living wage.

Speaker 11 (02:24:09):
So that's not cool with me.

Speaker 3 (02:24:11):
Yeah, but you know what, I'll go this far, and
this argument's rarely ever made. In fact, I think it's
ever made. It's sort of like looking at the college
tuition issue. Right, everybody says college is too expensive, but
no one ever addresses the professor or teacher salaries. No
one ever does, because that's the reason why it's so expensive.
Those tenured teachers get six figures, and no one ever

(02:24:35):
addresses you.

Speaker 15 (02:24:35):
And I agree, we're saying the same thing about the billionaire.

Speaker 3 (02:24:38):
Yeah, exactly, No, No, that's and that's my point is that,
you know, in order to reach a living wage, we
do have to concern ourselves with what is what is
it that people have to live under? So I can
work at a job that pays me twenty five thirty
five dollars an hour, But if the rents are four
thousand dollars a month for a student, I mean at

(02:25:01):
some point I got to say a livabol wage. I
can't get a company to pay me what it costs
to live in the state I work in. New York
is a perfect example of that. So we've got to
start addressing how living and working can coincide and sort
of like tamp down the amount of money that it
costs to live somewhere so that our wages can actually

(02:25:23):
meet that that mark, so to speak.

Speaker 15 (02:25:26):
Yet there's only there's a finite amount of money.

Speaker 19 (02:25:29):
In the whole cycle of it.

Speaker 15 (02:25:30):
Exactly where is most of the money sitting and just
doing nothing?

Speaker 11 (02:25:34):
Yeah, it's at the top.

Speaker 15 (02:25:35):
It's the executives and the CEOs and the CFOs exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:25:41):
But you know what, I can't expect the guy. I
can't expect the guy to live in New York and
to be limited a limited skilled worker working in McDonald's
and expect them to live comfortably in New York City,
because again, that person, in order to live has got
to have five jobs. So it's either I got to
raise the the guys, who's flipping burgers the forty five

(02:26:02):
dollars an hour. Well, he's got to move. So that's
that's where we can do a little bit of balls.

Speaker 15 (02:26:07):
Can also we can pay them a little more and
not have billionaires, and we can reduce the cost of living.
That's even easier.

Speaker 3 (02:26:13):
Well yeah then, yeah, well that's another argument that we
have to have another time, Evan, but I promise you
we will have it. Thank you, boss man. Let's appreciate
it all our last, but not least call of the day, Evan.
It's been a great show. I want to thank Sean
Paul Rays of Long Island Audit. Make sure you go
