Speaker 1 (00:00):
H hey, yeah, they they should calm down. The show

is about to style Reese on the radio.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Turn it up, turning it up, turn it up. Lound
dies like a dream come true.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Due to the nature of this program, discretion does not exist.
It's Race on the radio right now on w t
I S News Talk tenny.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's Monday, and what's going on on your scalliwax and
nut makers out there?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You know what's hot it is?

Speaker 5 (01:07):
It's Rased on the radio.

Speaker 6 (01:10):
With all the news and all the views.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's fifth as fit right here on WTIC News Talk
ten eighty. Welcome to your Monday evening. Is you guys
start to wrap up your day. I hope it's been
a bountiful Monday for you. I know the weekend's over
and a lot of you dread getting back to the office.

(01:33):
I don't know. I don't feel for you because I'm
excited to get back to the office. So nonetheless, this
is where work gets done, the work day, the work week,
all that good stuff. And we got plenty of news
and plenty of views for you today. If you were
sitting in that office wondering what's going on.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
In the world, resent the radio is here for you.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I do have an announcement today and I'm hoping that
you can be a part of this announcement. And it
will be on August nineteenth and August twentieth, and it
involves the Chester Boat Basin and the Selden Cove. On

(02:19):
August nineteenth and twentieth, we'll talk about it all show.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
I'll keep reiterating it all week.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
August nineteenth and twentieth at the Chester Boat Basin and
the Selden Cove, we'll.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Talk about that. So stand by.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Tell your friends, this is going to be an important
thing that we are going to do if you do
end up joining me. We also have to talk about
something that apparently ticked a lot of people off when
I posted it. Every Sunday I do another article on

(03:04):
my substack, and I try to keep it local unless
it's a national story that people in Connecticut and New
England care about. But I try to keep it local,
even though I know there are people all over the country.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
If I showed you the.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Sort of the geography of folks who listen to the
show online, you'd be amazed. But I try to keep
it local so that you guys feel that you are
represented in an honest way. That being said, I do
this article on my substack, which thankfully and gratefully graciously

(03:45):
I accepted The Connecticut Sentine will put in its online
newspaper every week. And this was about something I talked
about over the weekend or last week, and that was
Ned Lamont Fleck sing about the expansion of the Friendly
Hand Food Bank in Torrington. And I called it an

(04:07):
odd flex. I suggested it was like, you know, being
at the ribbon cutting for an expanding homeless shelter. These
are not things that a governor brags about, but there
he was. And I wrote this article only to point

(04:27):
out that with this info celebrating hunger, that the governor
sits on a sixty three percent approval rating. And I
pulled that quote from the article and put it on
the header of my Facebook post. And the hell, if
you guys didn't go nuts about it, we'll talk about it,

(04:51):
cause I'm going to tell you why that poll number
is the way that it is.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
And I've been talking about it for a month now.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
The governor has a sixty three percent approval rating for
good reason, and people are thinking that they're saying that's
not accurate. Yes it is. Yes, it is because the
governor's doing exactly what they wanted to do.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
But i'll get into that. I don't want to get
ahead of myself. I also want to prove again.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
That your humble host res On the Radio was right again.
I was forced to have a conversation with you about
Jeffrey Epstein. How come he won't talk about it? And
I was the one who told you on this very program,
you are being conditioned to believe that this is a story.

(05:45):
It is a manufactured issue. I brought it up on
July seventeenth. I gave you evidence that it was bogus,
but you didn't believe me. You still wanted to talk
about it, so we did. And it turns out, in
trying to appeal to the naysayers, to the people who

(06:07):
think that they've got their finger on the pulse, it turns.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Out old Reson Radio was right again.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
But I gotta get to everybody's top story today, and
that top story was, of course, the President of the
United States saying I'm done with.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
The violence of DC.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sick and tired of people in DC being shot at, robbed, beaten.
I'm sick and tired of the city looking like a
hell skate and said enough is enough. The fact that
President Trump looked at the District of Columbia and said,

(06:56):
if we got dignitaries who are coming into town and
they see this ruin, why would they ever want to
come here? And I don't blame them. I want to
go back a little bit. As you all know, born
and raised New York, Hollis Queens, and I was into
politics early, early as a child. Loved politics since I

(07:20):
was ten years old, and when I was thirteen, maybe twelve,
I want to say twelve, had to be twelve, seventh grade, right,
that would be right, Okay, anyway, it's nineteen eighty three, right, yeah,
nineteen eighty three, and we go on a trip to Washington, DC.

(07:43):
And on that trip we were supposed to go into
the Capitol building and we didn't get a chance because
when we were going over some bridge to.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
New York, we ended up hitting a fish truck.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was a whole mess, and we were there for
so long, you know, it ruined our trip. But we
still got to go to Washington, DC and see all
the you know, the sites. We just didn't get to
go to the Capitol. And that's I want to go
there more than anything. But we didn't get to go,
and that was sad. But there was one thing that
I remembered. I was on that bus saying, we're going

(08:16):
to the nation's capital. We're gonna see the White House,
the Capital, the Washington Monument, we.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Were gonna see the Lincoln Memorial, all of it.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
And we drive down the road Pennsylvania Avenue, coming straight
ahead towards the White House. As the bus was going
to koreem sort of around the White House to look
at it. And as we're coming down Pennsylvania Avenue towards
the White House, I looked out the window.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
And I saw a homeless Rastafarian. I'll never forget.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
It, dirty, filthy. It was the homelessness that I experienced
in my own neighborhood. It was a homelessness that everybody
in my town was familiar with. It was everywhere. But
I thought Washington, DC was like the Emerald City. There's

(09:19):
no homelessness there, there's no violence there. That place is
paved in gold. I thought, naive, naive, twelve thirteen year
old I was. But nonetheless there he was sitting there
and as I kareem down the block in my school bus.
More and more people disheveled, begging for money as we

(09:40):
got closer to the White House. And I remember saying
to my German English teacher, Yes she was German, still
had German accent, she teached English oxymoron, I don't get
it anyway. I say to her, are we in DC?
And she said, yes, yeah, yes we are. And all

(10:02):
I can say was, what the hell is he doing here?
What are they doing here? This is Washington, d C.
There should be no vagrants here, homeless people, bums. What
are they doing here? And a friend of mine said, man,
this is d C. It's one of the biggest ghettos
in the country.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
What what I said?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I promised myself I would never go back. I could
never go back to that city. Then, of course I
moved to northern Virginia. That's another long story. It involves
an next wife, but I don't want to get into that.
But let's let me move on to my next trip
to DC, many many moons later, old enough to know better,

(10:52):
went into DC Union Street, Union Station, I should say,
and that I saw there as I looked at all
these great ivory towers, the Supreme Court Building, the Capitol,
of course, the Ronald Reagan building. I looked at a

(11:14):
new building that was just constructed for law enforcement. These
places were beautiful, but right across the street a homeless shelter.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
And again me in my forties going, what the hell
is that?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's right across the street from the newly built law
enforcement building. How's there a homeless homeless shelter?

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Right?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
What is going on? And I went, Wow, I would
be bitter too if I lived in this city, if
I saw all of that opulence, those ivory towers and
buildings all over the place, and I was living in Squalor.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Who's allowing this?

Speaker 8 (11:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (11:52):
You know who? Your usual suspects? Democrats. Oh they did
nothing to save that city. They made it worse for everyone.
As they do. You can't arrest anyone because you know

(12:13):
they're poor, they're black, and it would just be cruel.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
Communities are just awful.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
They gentrify a little bit of it, but then they
just push everybody else to the outskirts because they can't
afford it. The affordability in Washington, DC is through the roof,
so you just push them out to the outskirts. You're
almost push them to Maryland. It's pretty bad. By the way,
don't go there.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
It's pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
And now the current president of the United States, who's
seen that squalor, that has seen that decay, who has
seen the leadership over and over and over again, go
into the hands of one Democrat after the other, and

(13:07):
there are no improvements. More and more people die, more
and more people shot, the offenders getting younger and younger
and younger, and they implement things like no cash, bail
and probation. All of those things just contribute to more

(13:30):
and more squalor, more and more violence, more and more unrest.
And now what do all of these foolish idiots go
out there and do they protest the president trying to
save their lives, trying to make their quality of life better.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
Here's the biggot. He's the racist, he.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Is the tyrant.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
While all of these people.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Sleep on the floor, hide their kids in the bathtub,
worry about whether or not their children are going to
come home safely, they're screaming at the president of the
United States is trying to ensure that those kids get
home safe.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
That's what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
They're rioting in the street right now, protesting in the street,
Free d C from what from the violence from the mayhem,
from Democrat rule, free and from what you want to
free from the guy who's trying to save lives. Oh
that's great, and folks, I wish this was new to me.
I wish I looked at this and said, damn, this

(14:48):
makes no sense to me. But I've experienced it before
nineteen ninety two Rudolph Giuliani. That's exactly what they did
when Rudolph Giuliani changed New York started stopping frisk, had
the broken windows policies, went through neighborhoods with police on foot,

(15:13):
stopping violent crime from happening, saving the lives of black folks.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Who called them a bigot and a racist for doing it.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Now they beg for Giuliani. They beg for a Giuliani
like leader. Chicago does too. Everywhere you look, that's what
they're looking for. They're looking for somebody to come in
and save them. In fact, it almost sounds like they're
begging for racism. Please, please, can we elect a bigot?

Speaker 6 (15:45):
Please?

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Can we get a racist mofo to be our mayor
so they can stop the violence, so my kids can
wait at a bus stop without having to be drive
by shot.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
Please what's David Duke up to?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, outside of the protesters, that's what every single one
of those residents are begging for. And here comes Donald
Trump taking over. These fools are angry. Janine Piro spoke today,
I see.

Speaker 9 (16:20):
Too much violent crime being committed by young punks who
think that they can get together in gangs and crews
and beat the hell out of you or anyone else.
They don't care where they are. They can be in
DuPont Circle, but they know that we can't touch them.
Why because the laws are weak. I can't touch you.

(16:41):
If you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old and you
have a gun. I convict someone of shooting another person
with an illegal gun on a public bus in the chest,
intent to kill.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
I convict him, and you know what.

Speaker 9 (16:57):
The judge gives him probation, says you should go to college.
We need to go after the DC Council and their
absurd laws.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
We need to get rid.

Speaker 9 (17:07):
Of this concept of no cash fail. We need to
recognize that the people who matter are the law abiding citizens.
And it starts today, but it's not going to end
today because the President is going to do everything we
need to do to make sure that these emboldened criminals
understand we see you, we're watching you, and we're going

(17:31):
to change the law to catch you. They go to
family court and they get to do yoga and arts
and crafts. Enough it changes to.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
And Janine Peril said that people forgot the law abiding
citizens she's talking about are black folks too. But these
activists and these people on the talking heads on television,
they believe that these criminals are black folks one and
the same. They think that's a right of passage. If

(18:06):
you're in DC and you're black, they got to commit crimes.
It's the ghetto. What else are they gonna do? And
they're the bigots. We come back, we'll take your phone calls.
We'll talk a little bit more about this when we return.
We'll talk about how they try to bait Mariel Bowser

(18:28):
into shaming the president into what he about what he's doing.
We'll get a response as well. Stand by more news,
more views than you can shake the stick out of trees.
On the radio on WTIC News Talk ten.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
Eighty, this is Governor Ned Lamont. I'm giving a salute
to the broadcaster at one hundred. Happy birthday, WTIC News
Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Hey, sixty three percent approval and counting.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
You heard that. That's Governor Lamont there. We'll get into
that breakdown a little bit because some people are having
to get him on your station on your show one.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Time exactly you had to get him on here somehow
because he wouldn't come freely. He actually had to get
him a recording. We'll talk about that. That's sixty three percent.
And a lot of people are upset about people like
they didn't pull me, trust me, they weren't looking to.
But we'll talk talk about it as well. Also, get
to your phone calls in a sec. So, of course

(19:24):
everybody is having a knipshit about Donald Trump taking over,
uh the federal government or the federal government for that matter,
taking over at in DC. And I was gonna play
Eddie Glad from MSNBC, but he has a tendency to
curse on the air, so I can't really really, I

(19:45):
can't play him.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
So this was the was a NBC affiliate in Washington,
d C.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
This is what they got a few morons to say
about this in DC. This is what they're upset about.
You're talking about the crime.

Speaker 10 (20:02):
The crime is when you let the people out that
the messed up January to six.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
That's right, that's what's plague in DC.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Crime A riot five years ago, four years ago, that's
that's the calamity that is DC.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
He's acting out of out of spite.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I don't know, I don't know what for.

Speaker 11 (20:26):
I feel like he has something to prove.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, he has something to prove, Like I'm here to
save you negroes, That's what he's trying to prove. I'm
trying to prove that I don't want you to die
a senseless death at the hands of a fourteen year
old gang banger.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
That's what I'm trying to prove. Oh and then there's
my favorite.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
By the way, it doesn't matter what age, it doesn't
matter what century, it doesn't matter what generation, or what
civil rights are has ever been a part of of
any time in our history. It's all ways about more government.

Speaker 11 (21:02):
I think it's importing that we offlickt uplift th children
and focus on why this is happening.

Speaker 12 (21:06):
You know, maybe we need to implement more program Maybe
Trump used to implement more programs and focus on that in.

Speaker 6 (21:11):
This shit, Yeah, implement more programs.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
I've got the perfect program for them school. We offer
it to you for free.

Speaker 13 (21:22):
Huh.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Yeah, jobs offered everywhere for free. You don't have to
pay for a job.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Job pays you. Huh. There's a whole bunch of programs,
as they were, to keep you off the street and
keep you from killing each other. Programs. I've got a
way to I got an actual program, a government program
that works keeping killers, murderers and gang bangers, drug dealers

(21:49):
off the street. That program is called a prison. That's
a program we can use that agent zero five two
two WT. I see, let's go to Steven Springfield. Hellos
uh hi reees.

Speaker 14 (22:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (22:02):
I'll tell you you're a breath of.

Speaker 16 (22:04):
Fresh air and you've got a lot of good interesting
perspective that thank you, because.

Speaker 17 (22:09):
After a while that, I mean, there's a lot.

Speaker 16 (22:11):
Going on the news, but a lot of it is
like predictable, and I come here to get like a
breath of fresh air.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 16 (22:19):
I'll tell you something about a program network. When I
went to school, it doesn't really matter what neighbor, what
it was. People didn't criminals weren't in the schools. They
were in reform.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
School, Yes they were.

Speaker 16 (22:33):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 6 (22:35):
It's a good point.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
You were did you know, Steve, I don't know if
you're much of a movie guy or would have even
seen this film.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
But it was based upon a true story.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
The film was called Lean On Me, and it was
about Jersey principal Joe Clark.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Is ever ring a bell at all?

Speaker 7 (22:52):
No?

Speaker 16 (22:53):
I must, I must have got.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Okay, no, no. But it starred Morgan Freeman and Robert kellome
A and uh yeah exactly.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
And it was based upon the real life.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Of of of of smoking Joe Clark is what they
called him. He was a school principal in the inner
city of Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
And what was so evident about his tactic was that he.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Was getting a black man was getting the same pushback, dude,
you were seeing here that he did in the school system.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
He got rid of the riff raft.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
In his school. On his first day as the principal,
he rounded up all the thugs and expelled them to
save the good students.

Speaker 16 (23:34):
You want you want to hear an interesting story? I
used to write. I don't know if through anybody, if
you know people in Springfield. I don't know if you
know Sam Bass, No, not familiar. Well, anyway, he had
a little paper called the bottom Line and stuff like that.

Speaker 8 (23:50):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (23:50):
Well, there was a guy, Leroy Crenshaw in Springfield. He
was African American man. He was a gym teacher at
Kennedy High School and he was complaining to the principles
that these kids are bringing weapons to screen, you know,
brass knuckles or laser blades on it and stuff. So
you know what he well, he was a big guy.
He was the strong guy. U a Southern guy. I mean, uh,

(24:14):
what he did is he confiscated their weapons. Nobody in
the school was listening to him for you.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Know what he did, he took it upon himself.

Speaker 16 (24:23):
Yeah, he dumped it on the pretty little table when
they were filming the table for the school committee. Me,
he just dumped it all on the table. What are
you guys gonna.

Speaker 18 (24:33):
Do about it?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
See, that's the kind of stuff that is the kind
of stuff that needs to be done instead of this
coddling and breastfeeding of these obvious, you know, violent criminals.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
Which again, as you can hear, that.

Speaker 16 (24:52):
Guy was a real man. He was like one of
these people. He was like Jimmy Carter, if you're his
next door nable, he's gonna help you fix your car's
gonna help take care of your mother when she's sick.
You know, he was a real, real neighborly, Jimmy Carter
was the same way, best next door neighbor you could have.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Look.

Speaker 16 (25:13):
Even though I disagreed with Jimmy Carter's policy, you try
to attack his character, I'm going after you.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Well, I've never gone after him. I just his policies
were horrible. But you're right, he was.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
He was.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
He was a hometown boy, he always was, and he
always defended his neighbors that much. I can stand by
right right, But I'll.

Speaker 16 (25:34):
Tell you something. You know, I guess the Democrat Party
is like pro murder, like the Nazis.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
It's who they calling anybody.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
I think that again this is and it's like they
don't know. It's like a blind rage, Steven Steve. It's
like Donald Trump is for it, so they are like
reflexively against it, not even realizing what they're truly saying,
and that is we want want people to live in danger.
And that's it essentially what they're saying. Thank you, sir,

(26:04):
I appreciate you. Let me go to Ralph in South Carolina.
How are we doing Ralphie. Boy.

Speaker 15 (26:09):
Please, how you doing a battle? While I thought they
maybe you forgot about.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
No, I didn't forget about boy.

Speaker 15 (26:14):
A couple of things, Reese. Did your buddy Tim ever
send you a copy of his bloodwork to verify that
he's sixty percent a Native American?

Speaker 6 (26:23):
I didn't ask, but no, Oh well, I think.

Speaker 19 (26:25):
I think you may.

Speaker 15 (26:26):
You may want to ask and have him prove it.
As I said before, I'm the kind of person it's Missouri.
You gotta show me. Let me ask you. Let me
ask you a question, Reese. If a fourteen year old
kills you, and a thirty four year old kills you,
are you any less dead?

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Exactly?

Speaker 6 (26:43):
I think you're one hundred percent right. I don't again.
I want Look.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I say this all the time when we talk about crime.
But Juliani had it right. Whatever you think of him today,
Giuliani had it right. I grew up in the Giuliani era,
and kids who lived at who were my age. I
was around twenty three twenty four in the Giuliani era.
Everybody in my neighborhood who was from the Inner City,

(27:10):
and I knew plenty who lived in the Inner City
and lived in Manhattan all said the same thing about Giuliani.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Giuliani was ruthless.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Some of them thought that he was cruel even but
they were afraid to death, to do anything criminal because
they were under the impression that even an infraction of
drinking a beer in the street would have gotten him
twenty years. That's how afraid of him they were. And
it was never like that. He just believed in a

(27:40):
quality of life police force, and that's what he ensured.
He made life safe for everybody. And if the opposite
side of that is you'd have to be cheering for
the people who made it uncomfortable or dangerous for you
to live, well.

Speaker 15 (27:56):
Of course, but if you look at what they give
these kids, it was a I guess there were four
or five young girls. These are girls, yeah, between the
ages of twelve and fifteen, murdered a disabled man. Indeed, yes, murdered,
beat the heck out of this guy and kill them.
And the biggest sentence was seven years in juvenile home. Yep,

(28:18):
that was the sentence for the worst sentence for.

Speaker 14 (28:21):
These five girls.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
I'm gonna find a story, you know what.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm gonna find a story during the commercial break that
will blow your mind. I used to.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
I talked about this on my podcast back.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
In the days, a story that's very relative to that,
but the victims in this case will blow your mind.
I'm gonna talk about I'm gonna find that video in
a minute.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Thank you, Ralph. I appreciate you, sir.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yep. The amount of crime that we're seeing from young
black girls is unheard of, and it's true. Have you
seen some of the violence that's caught on camera.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
On buses. Wasn't there a situation.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
At Rutgers where three girls said that they were that
somebody racial was racially mean, Todemart, It spewed racial slurs
and that's why they got into a fight. And then
the video on the bus found out that it was
the girls who started the fight, who started just randomly

(29:26):
punching people in the face on the bus. The amount
of violence that's going on in DC with young girls,
young black girls is on I mean, it is absolutely shocking,
shocking to see.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
But you know that's where we are.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
When we come back, well, i'll give you another update
on this thing that we're gonna be doing. You'll be
you'll get an opportunity to do it with me. Put
this in your calendar August nineteenth and twentieth. I will
probably make sure that I will be at both of these.
I'm going to be at the Chester Boat Basin and

(30:07):
the Selden Cove in Connecticut on August nineteenth and twentieth.
If you don't know what this is about, I'm going
to tell you very soon, so stand by. So make
those dates available August nineteenth and the twentieth.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
And I know people have work. I get it.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
But if you don't. If you don't have work, maybe
you're a retiree. Maybe you can take off that day.
Don't worries. It's what the Libs call good trouble the
nineteenth and the twentieth. I found something to do, and
I think it's something we can all be a part of.
The Chester Boat Basin and the Selden Cove August nineteenth

(30:53):
and twentieth. If we don't make it the both, we'll
definitely make it the one. And I'll break down what's
happening there and why we need to be there. So
stand by for that. All right, We'll take a break.
We'll come back. More news, more views, your phone calls,
and so much more. It's Recenter Radio on WTIC News
Talk tennady.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Listen to WTIC news Talk ten eighty on the free

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I want to address a comment in the chat room
before we get to the phones. Donald Wrights Reese, how
about gun control? Why is the poor community flooded with
illegal guns?

Speaker 6 (31:37):
Those two things are not the same.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Gun control does not affect illegal gun ownership at all.
Gun control controls legal gun ownership. That's how that works.
You tell a legal gun owner that he can't have

(32:01):
a particular gun and possession of it is illegal, and
the legal gun owner gets rid of said gun. Illegal
gun owner already violated gun control law.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
That's how that works.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
You can have all the gun control you want. A
person breaking the law will ignore them. That's how they work.
A gun control law, by the way, punishes the person
with the gun. Doesn't prevent the gun. Ownership legal or illegal,

(32:41):
doesn't prevent it. You are punished by gun control laws.
We need to understand, and it's something I've been trying
to explain to I hate to use the word ignorant, folks,
and ignorant does not mean it's not a slur. It
is ignorant of the law. Laws do not stop crime,

(33:03):
they punish them. Get the nonsense that a law prevents crime.
If that were the case, murder, assault, anything for that matter,
just wouldn't exist. All we have to do is create
a law that it stops. It's not how it works.
Never worked like that. You know it.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
Use your logical brain.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Laws are designed to punish crime, not prevent them. Please
please repeat that a dozen times so you can stop
looking at the world from that point of view. If
that were the case, DC, which has the strictest of
the strictest gun laws in the country New York, Chicago, Indianapolis,

(33:44):
Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, all strict gun laws, yet
violent gun total knuckleheads are shooting all over the place
who don't have licenses to carry, concealed or otherwise. All
of them have gun control laws background check. Sure, I'm

(34:09):
positive they have all of them. Yet thugs still run
around with guns. How's your law working, how's your gun
control working? It's called not working.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
So please.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Stop looking for an answer in a law that is
made to punish criminality.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
That's not how it works.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
And once you get that through your thick skull, then
you can move on to where we are solving the problem,
and that's locking up those offenders for a very long time.
No three years, No, three years. They're putting lives in jeopardy.
Let's make a mandatory ten years and see where that'll
get them. Let's go to Tony. How are you doing, Tony?

Speaker 17 (34:56):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Pretty good?

Speaker 6 (34:58):
What's up?

Speaker 20 (35:00):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (35:00):
How come we don't pick Russia out of the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
That's a great question. More than likely because we don't
control them. We are not the governing body of the Olympics.

Speaker 14 (35:14):
We're a pretty big part of governing this world.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
That's true. I mean, I look, I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
There are a lot of countries that, you know, it's
almost like asking, you know, why are some countries allowed
to be a part of the UN delegation where some
of the leaders are part of, you know, dictatorships.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
Like why are they allowed in the UN delegation?

Speaker 2 (35:35):
And that's because, just like gun laws, the UN is
not exactly what it says it is, you know what
I mean, It's like it's not a peacekeeping organization.

Speaker 14 (35:45):
Good point. Hey, I met the buddy who was a
sponsor on your show, who went to dinner with you
in San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yes, Jerry, of course, what do you. I love Jerry.
I love his family too. We have such a great
time with them.

Speaker 14 (36:02):
Great people, great products.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Absolutely, yep, that's why they're a sponsor on this show.

Speaker 16 (36:06):
I love.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I love supporting them because they support our our listeners.
So that much love to them.

Speaker 14 (36:12):
Where'd you get the certificate? I said, see, I see?
He goes, what show? I says, reached on the radio.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
He goes, All I gotta about him, He's the greatest man.

Speaker 14 (36:26):
I love them to me A picture of you guys,
and I like before I know you heard me before
on the radio.

Speaker 21 (36:32):
What I like about radios?

Speaker 22 (36:33):
We don't know what you look like?

Speaker 18 (36:37):
You know you coulder?

Speaker 1 (36:41):
You know?

Speaker 6 (36:41):
Did you see the picture of me next to my wife?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Do I look like a giant?

Speaker 6 (36:46):
You're pretty big? R next to her?

Speaker 2 (36:50):
I look really every time I take a picture with her,
I go gosh, you're so little. Poor baby. Anyway, thank
thank you, thank you, Tony. I I appreciate you, sir.
You got it, you got it. Gun control is a
firm grip on your firearm. Butsch whackgirl says, I love

(37:10):
it one right? Uh, thank you, Zach. I did have
a great weekend. Uh, Matt writes Donald, if you if
I gave you a list. Oh, he's talking about something
else on there.

Speaker 23 (37:23):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
It's funny.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
There's laws against shoplifting, but somehow people still get caught shoplifting. Yeah,
I think I know a representative in Connecticut to Uh. Oh,
he's been running into a little bit of trouble.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
Speaking of which, I gotta call the I gotta call
the police department.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
See if we can get a list of that stuff. Anyway.
All right, Uh, Nick, thank you, one hundred percent correct
statement on gun control.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Hey, I know we got to get to the wt
i C newsroom.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Let's get there now with John Silva. It's recent the
radio on wt i C News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Of the news, Yeah, Steven when it makes no sense
at all at all, now on wti SEE News Talk
ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah, we'll get to your phone calls entry on the
radio on wti C News Talk ten to eighty.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
We got breaking now, just news. A Manhattan federal judge
has rejected a petition by the Trump administration on Monday
to unseal the grand jury documents in the case against
predator Jeffrey Epstein's accomplished Gallaine Maxwell. The US District Judge

(38:34):
Paul Engelmeyer, who is a President Barack Obama appointe, concluded
that the government failed to make a compelling case for
disclosure of the grand jury testimony, which typically remains sealed.
The government does not seek taylored disclosure of discrete items
within the grand jury's record, Inglemeyer wrote in his opinion,
nor does it seek leave to disseminate grand jury materials

(38:57):
to a specified audience.

Speaker 6 (38:59):
It seeks disclosure to the public at large of.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
The entire proceedings before the Maxwell grand jury, subject only
to reaction aiming to protect privacy. So that's an Obama appointee,
which I would imagine would have wanted those things released.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
But it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
But anyway, he says no more on that in a
little bit also in the news, in an effort to
guide efforts to get children outside and experience nature, a
town has adopted the Children Outdoor Bill of Rights.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
This is in Groton, Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Groton children are asked to participate in hikes and other
stuff outdoors.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
They say, quote, we really, really really want to.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Make sure that we can reach across all kinds of
boundaries that some families and children might have to make
sure everybody gets to participate. The Bill of Rights, adopted
last month by the town council is an initiative to
goo get outdoors, Yes, to get kids outdoors. Let me

(40:02):
read you some of the things that are in the
grotten Kids Bill of Rights, which, by the way, they.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
Must not understand what bill of rights are.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Bill of rights are like protected laws for kids. That's
what it should be, right, you know, it's like the
right to free speech, to right the barrel. That's what
a bill of rights are. Right, a right to assemble that. No,
this is what their bill of rights are, and if
you didn't hear it, you need to go to the
grotten News for it. Here they are the Grotten Outdoor

(40:35):
Children's Bill of Rights. One ride a bike. Two, climb
a tree. Three, grow a garden or plant a flower.

Speaker 7 (40:44):
Four.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Spend time in nature during the school day. Five walk
or bike to parks and open space.

Speaker 6 (40:51):
Six. Follow a trail through the woods.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Seven. Sorry that one has got me bothered. Follow a
trail through the woods. Don't do that, kids, I don't
care if you don't have an hour a minute of
outdoor time. Do not spend it in the woods, okay,
just don't enjoy unstructured play outdoors. Okay, fine, cool number

(41:17):
eight play paddle, play, paddle, swim or sail in a
clean ocean, river and streams well.

Speaker 6 (41:24):
According to.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Deep and the EVA and the Army Corps of Engineers,
there are no places where you can swim in the
clean water. So that's it. Breathe clean air, good luck,
and ten experienced grotten's plants, animals and habitats. What animals?
What are we talking bears? Yes, that's I mean, they
put it out there. I just read the news. I

(41:49):
don't make it. Also in the news, President Donald Trump
has reportedly moved a portrait of former President Barack Obama
to a location in the White House where visitors are
typically not allowed. According to CNN, the portrait is now
hanging at the top of the Grand Scare staircase in
the White House, a location that is generally inaccessible to visitors.

(42:11):
Alongside those portraits are former presidents George H. W.

Speaker 6 (42:15):
Bush and George W.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Bush. According to CNN, which obtained a photo of Obama's
portrait in a new location, it's the second time the
portrait of Obama has been moved, with Trump having moved
it into April in exchange of a photo showing the
immediate aftermath of the July twenty twenty fourth assassination attempt
where Trump survived, which I think is obviously that's.

Speaker 6 (42:37):
A picture of a lifetime that photo.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Forget about it. It's a Pulitzerprize winner, you know, in
an era where public surprise usually go to fake news,
that photograph is epic and iconic. But I don't know
what the outrage is. It's at the Grand Staircase. George W. Bush,
Herbert Walker Bush. I think it's appropriate for them to
be there now. It's time for the spidest thing I

(43:00):
read today, Yes, you do.

Speaker 10 (43:10):
It could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
I had another story I wanted to make a part
of this, but I figured it was time to address
a stupid story.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
That people have been talking about all weekend.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
And I want to say this, particularly two people on
the left or so called independence who keep crying about
how we need more bipartisanship and people getting along, how
to stop sort of tearing at one another about our politics. Well,
last week Greg Guttfeld of Fox News went on the

(43:48):
Tonight Show hosted by Jimmy Fallon, because these two gentlemen
have been friends for a number of years, and after
Greg guttfeld was on the program, many people watched. In fact,
there was a highly rated night of television for the
Tonight Show because Greg Gutfeldt was gonna be there and
many people wanted to know what it was going to
be like. Well, when it turned out to be a

(44:09):
love fest of hugging and laughing and celebrating one another
and even injecting a little bit of politics when talking
about the unpredictable nature of Donald Trump, it went off
without a hitch, and people even left the Tonight Show
studio saying having never known who Greg guttfelt was enjoying
his presence on there. Well, critics went online to rip

(44:33):
it apart. Yeah, people, the same people who talk about
the partisanship of our politics went online to berate it.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
During the twenty sixteen election, one.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Of the biggest promotional issues with Donald Trump's campaign came
down to Jimmy Fallon treating Donald Trump like a human
being on his show. Yeah, remember when Jimmy Fallon got
all that. Well, here's what some of the people had
to say, can someone at NBC explain to me, like
I'm four, because there is no reason why this would

(45:06):
happen unless Fallon wants some of the MAGA viewers that
Gutfeld has. If that's the case, say it, open your
mouth and say it that you want the right wing
viewership of Gutfeld so that we can all stop pretending
like you're some left leaning host. Yeah, that's what they
had to say. Another one wrote, well, Fallon, stick on

(45:28):
standing up to Trump lasted exactly four seconds. It seems
the hosting the host is taking perpetual gambling attic Jay
Leno's neutrality advice, which was why why shoot for just
half the audience all the time? And many people even
got emotional saying Greg Guttfeld has no respect for the

(45:48):
late night scene. He's a partisan hack who fancies himself
a mischievous little boy because he likes to spout slurs
and say mean things while he struggles to find a
chair small enough for him. So these are the people
who had their opinions about Greg Guttfeld and Jimmy Fallon
actually having some rapport on the tonight show, trying to

(46:10):
end the partisanship or the partisan nature of our politics,
especially in the late night wars, and people still didn't
like it.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
So when these people talk about the partisan only he.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Says, too much pageant, they're liars because they need to
call out these liberal publications who want nothing more than
beef and animus and hatred. Those are the people you're
talking about, So please don't say you're talking about me
because you're not. Liberals are allowed on this program. They're
allowed to chat in the chat room, they're allowed to
pick up the phone and call, and I converse with

(46:41):
them all the time. Even when they are bad, nonsense, crazy,
I still talk to them.

Speaker 6 (46:48):
So spare me. That's the stupidest thing I read today.
And those are your headlines. Also, don't forget.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
We're going to talk in a little bit about res
on the radio being at Chester Boat based in n
Selden Cove, coming up on August nineteenth and twentieth. You
want to stick around so I can explain to you
what's going on if you haven't heard already, let's get
to the phones.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
It's zero five two two w T I C.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Speaking of liberals, here's one Tim and Hamden or you
know whatever, Hey, Tim, what's going on?

Speaker 15 (47:20):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
I'm teasing you. I'm teasing you because it gets under
your belt all the time.

Speaker 15 (47:25):
Go ahead, man, well it's quite right. Let's take a
step back. You know, I'm just looking at the news report.
See crime in DC is actually.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
Down from what from what?

Speaker 5 (47:39):
From it?

Speaker 15 (47:39):
From from last year?

Speaker 6 (47:41):
Okay, from last year?

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Now stop now, stop stop, stop, stop stop stopping you no, no,
I don't want you to say another word.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
I don't want you to say another word. I want
you to hear me out, folks.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
I want you to want you I want you no, no,
I want to answer the point that you just made.
So let's start here. Okay, it's down from last year.
What were the pandemic numbers four years ago? Were they
below where they are now?

Speaker 24 (48:06):
Look?

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yes or no, sir, Yes or no? You want to talk,
let's say Okay, I'm We're just gonna put them on
past for a second. We'll put them on past for
a second. How can you get this out? Okay? These
these people, these pundits who repeat, these people who repeat
the same stuff that they heard on the news, or
they googled, or somebody told them to repeat like a parakeet.

(48:28):
It is the most not the craziest nonsense in the world. First,
of all, DC is sixty three square miles sixty three okay,
on average, it has well over two hundred and twenty
five murders a year on average. That is unheard of

(48:50):
for a place that is that small. That is ridiculous.
And because it's down thirty percent from last year, no
one talks about what the pre pandemic level. In twenty nineteen,
there were one hundred and forty murders in the city.
Those numbers have never climbed below two hundred since post pandemic,

(49:11):
never never, And now people are bragging about the fact
that it's not as high as its record levels, it's
still high. They're also ignoring the fact that it's also
known verifiably true because it was reported by the NBC
affiliate in DC.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
That one of the guys who was.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Supposed to be the statistician on all the numbers was
recently let go because he was lying about them. Just
let go less than what ten days ago. Fired because
he was lying about the numbers in DC. And just
to add that to add insult to injury, because again

(49:55):
I anticipate this stuff. I'm a great talk show host
if I do say so, my here's MSNBC trying.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
To make it about race.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
But listen to the mayor, who probably is much more
credible than Tim and Hampton.

Speaker 25 (50:10):
One of the things that we have seen over and
over from the President from his team, you know, Stephen
Miller saying, it's like Bagdad in Ethiopia. They seem to
hold their harshest criticism sometimes for cities that are majority
black and brown.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Do you see that or what do you think that means? Yeah,
so now it's about the cities being black and brown.
There's criticism because the cities are black and brown. Yeah,
that's exactly that's exactly right. The cities have to be
black and brown. Baltimore, DC, LA, Chicago, Yeah, predominantly. You

(50:45):
don't see a pattern, dumb, dumb, don't see one. Now
they're trying to criticize Trump because he's going to after
black communities where black people are dying at record numbers.

Speaker 6 (50:56):
MARYO. Bowser, black woman mayor of d C.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I think that.

Speaker 11 (51:06):
I have been dealing kind of with this issue for
a number of years. Is kind of easy fodder on
the campaign trail, But now we're talking about governing and
my job is to focus on making sure our city
is running is running well and people enjoy a great

(51:26):
quality of life. And I think we're doing a really
good job. We do need the federal government's help, as
I mentioned, because they have an outsized influence on our
criminal justice system. We need more prosecutors, we need more judges.

Speaker 26 (51:43):
There are other.

Speaker 11 (51:43):
Ways to help. Even we want to rebuild our jail
and there ways that the Feds can help with that,
but also just doing their part cutting the grass, fixing
the fountains, making sure that federal law enforcement is doing
all of the police that they can do. And I
just have to say thank you to MPs, FBI, ATF

(52:05):
who always work cooperatively with us, and we expect that
they will again.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Wow, that sounds like a harsh criticism there from Muriel Bowser.
That sounds like a woman who rejects the help of
the federal government and the president of the United States.
A woman who seems to not even mention that her
crime has gone down thirty percent. She seems to be
welcoming federal help. Tim, Let's try again, what say you

(52:32):
hundreds of miles away?

Speaker 15 (52:36):
Well, first off, I can I just tell the audience
this is such typical reason say, I let people come
in to speak. I can't one thing.

Speaker 6 (52:45):
You're speaking now, so just go ahead and speak. You're
speaking now.

Speaker 15 (52:50):
So I wanted to know. I had a question as
if things were so you know, you compare them to
the first Trump administration. You know, why didn't he take
over the in you know, things were so bad. I
lived in the late seventies and the eighties on the hill,
Capitol Hill.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
I know what.

Speaker 15 (53:07):
You know what it's like in DC.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
I know what the fact are you Are you really
asking the ridiculous question of why didn't he do it?
Then let's talk about what he's doing now, unless you
want us all to hop in your dolore.

Speaker 15 (53:20):
I want to talk about Yeah, it's easy to tell.
It's easy to tell your audience because he had someone
in his administration got involved with with UH with a
horrible crime and it was awful.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
It should never never.

Speaker 6 (53:35):
What what are you talking about?

Speaker 7 (53:36):
What?

Speaker 12 (53:36):
What?

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Wait?

Speaker 6 (53:37):
What crime did he get involved in?

Speaker 8 (53:40):
What?

Speaker 18 (53:41):
Now?

Speaker 15 (53:41):
They were a victim of a crime, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (53:45):
Oh, okay, you're talking about the Doge employee.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
You think this is all you think, this is all
predicated on the dojimployees obvious?

Speaker 15 (53:51):
You know, you know he you know, he suddenly it
like a three year old suddenly.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Come and kill his attention.

Speaker 18 (53:58):
Oh there's crime in dec Yeah.

Speaker 15 (54:00):
Absolutely, And it's very convenient because now we're going to
talk about this, We're not going to talk about other issues.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
What's the other issue we should be talking about?

Speaker 15 (54:11):
You know, so we can you know, stick with this
this and not talk about anything else.

Speaker 6 (54:16):
Tim, what's the other thing we should talk about?

Speaker 15 (54:19):
Oh, I'm not allowed to talk say it.

Speaker 6 (54:22):
Say the thing. Say the thing, Tim, Say the thing. No, No,
you won't get back. Say the thing.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Say the thing, Tim, what's the thing? I'm begging him
to say the thing. I'm begging him to say the thing.
You know what he's saying. Here's what he's saying.

Speaker 26 (54:45):
Try to bring crime down.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
A noble effort. But what do you make of the
way this is being talk Yeah.

Speaker 12 (54:50):
I just don't know that it's a noble effort in
this instance, because I don't believe that Donald Trump can
be trusted to do this. It is disturbing to think
about all the federal agencies and law enforcement being deployed
in this way against American citizens. They shouldn't be policing.

Speaker 16 (55:05):
That's not their job.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
Now firing that.

Speaker 12 (55:08):
I also have to wonder crime is a serious issue again,
no matter who you are, you want to know that
your community is safe. But how much of this is
about grandstanding? Is about Donald Trump just bashing cities because
this is another point of distraction for him with the
Epstein files.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
That's the thing. That's the thing, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
He said he can't mention because he's going to get banned,
so I'll mention it for him. The distraction is is
because Donald Trump. Donald Trump is distracting from the Epstein files.
But remember what I told you on I don't know
was it July seventeenth that that was nonsense.

Speaker 6 (55:50):
Here's July seventeenth, Harry Enton, CNN.

Speaker 27 (55:53):
And look, I think this one surprised me a bit
because of all these complaints online going after Trump and
FAG You might think his approval ratings were going down
with Republicans. If anything, they're going on Republicans who approve
of Trump. Look at our CNN poll, the prior one
to eighty six percent, the one out this week eighty
eight percent with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac The prior poll,
eighty seven percent approved of Republicans, this week out ninety

(56:16):
percent with Republicans. If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has
gone up since this whole Epstein saga started. He is
at the apex or close there too, in terms of
his popularity with Republican voters. Epstein files complaints or not?

Speaker 9 (56:31):
You just prove that not everything online is real in
real life?

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Oh who knew that everything online is not real? I'll
tell you who told you that? This guy? Let's go
one step further. Just today Epstein files a month from
that broadcast, here we are What is CNN saying about
Epstein this?

Speaker 7 (56:54):
There are new numbers this morning showing something of a
shift in how Americans are feeling about this.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Harry Anton here to help. What are you saying in
these numbers?

Speaker 7 (57:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (57:02):
I would say that this is from at least a
political point of view, quickly turning into a god of
a story.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
What am I talking about? Which is wild? Which is wild?
Which is this? Has been for three weeks exactly. Take
a look here. Google searches for Epstein.

Speaker 27 (57:16):
Down eighty nine percent versus just three weeks ago. Falling
through the floor. It is no longer the top term
searched alongside Donald trump'snay. That's been trading off between tariffs
and Vladimir Pudin with obviously the meeting coming up later
this week, but at this particular point, the American people's
interest in this story, it's quickly becoming something of a
nothing burger.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
We'll be back, stick around. It's recent the radio and
wt I see News Talk ten eighty. I'm Tom O'Hanlon
and you're listening to Reese on the radio on wt
IVE seen News Talk ten. Hey, Tom O'Hanlon is going
to be on the show for my birthday. He's gonna
be filling in for Mark Christopher in a BPS traffic
center which is coming up very soon with traffic and

(57:58):
weather and of course your phone calls coming up. I
just want to make sure that I reiterate this for
those of you just joining. Of course, Tim and Hampdon
just called a while ago talking about, you know, Donald
Trump taking over DC is a distraction from the Epstein nonsense.
It's there is no distraction. It's not a story. It's
a non story and it's simple and plain. As I

(58:22):
told you, the news media is here to tell you
what the story is.

Speaker 6 (58:28):
Not that you have any concern about it.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
The news media puts out the story and says you
should be concerned about this, and then you pretend to
be concerned about it. I'm sorry, and this is gonna
sound messed up. It sounds messed up, but it's not
my fault. It's just the way that it is. You're
dubbed into believing that because it was on the news,
it's an issue, and I told you months ago it wasn't.

Speaker 6 (58:56):
It was manufactured nonsense.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
You couldn't just all of it out in nowhere, spring
up and say that Epstein was a big deal when
it wasn't for years, when it could have been used
as the cudgel.

Speaker 6 (59:08):
That would have ended Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
And now for everybody in the miraculously stand up here
and just say, well, I don't know why he didn't
use it before, just like the jerry mandering thing in Texas.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
Now it's the biggest issue in the world.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
While we know that this is happening everywhere, it's an
open secret, and now everybody's pretending like it's a big deal.
It's the democracy, the un of democracy. We're going to
fight fire with fire. Governor Pritzker, Why is why is
Illinois the most jerrymandered state in the Union. I'm not

(59:46):
here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about Trump.
I don't know what it is that you got it
your marching orders, but we're here to talk about Trump.

Speaker 6 (59:54):
Say on program, that's all you're hearing. It's nonsense.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
You get told what you're supposed to be outraged about,
and some people do because they don't know what.

Speaker 6 (01:00:04):
They're supposed to be outraged about, and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
They keep switching up. Today it's Epstein, the next week
is jerry mandering. What's up next? Who knows? Who knows?

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):
And here's CNN And let me tell you this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I'm gonna play this for you, but I'm gonna tell
you what the real dirty secret is about all of this.
If you missed it again Maragay from MSNBC talking about
the DC nonsense, right, that is the story trying to
clean up the city. Oh, it's a distraction to Epstein
and who follows who? Tim calls up and says the

(01:00:39):
exact thing, trying to bring crime down a noble effort.
But what do you make of the way to speed done?

Speaker 12 (01:00:45):
Yeah, I just don't know that it's a noble effort
in this instance because I don't believe that Donald Trump
can be trusted to do this. It is disturbing to
think about all of these federal agencies and law enforcement
being deployed in this way.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Again, you don't know if Donald Trump could be trusted
to UH to do this?

Speaker 6 (01:01:04):
Can I can? I can? I give you two words,
Southern border.

Speaker 12 (01:01:09):
It's American citizens. They shouldn't be policing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
That's not their job.

Speaker 12 (01:01:13):
Nowquiring that, I also have to wonder. Crime is a
serious issue. Again, no matter who you are, you want
to know that your community is safe. But how much
of this is about grandstanding? Is about Donald Trump just
bashing cities because this is another point of distraction for
him with the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Yes, because that's what everybody cares about. Harry Enton, And.

Speaker 27 (01:01:36):
Look, I think this one surprised me a bit because
of all these complaints online going after Trump and the
x Stein files. You might think as approval ratings were
going down, Republicans if anything, they're going.

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
On, yeah, and then Donald didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
The term says, oh, you're only going to talk about
what the Republicans are polling.

Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
Well, no, of course not. We tell the truth here.

Speaker 12 (01:02:01):
Has it impacted. Have you seen numbers of impact this
has impact in Trump's popularity, favorability, anything, No.

Speaker 7 (01:02:07):
Not really.

Speaker 27 (01:02:08):
I mean, take a look here. Let's take a look
at the overall numbers. Trump's approval rating in July of
twenty twenty five, who is forty five percent.

Speaker 6 (01:02:14):
It's still well within that margin of err here at
forty four percent.

Speaker 27 (01:02:18):
And you compare that to where he was in his
first term at this point he was at thirty seven percent.
So he's seven points higher, very much in a different
political universe, now significantly higher in terms of his overall
approval rating than he was at this point in his
first term, and more than that, among Republicans, his approval
rating is near a record high, covering right at about
that ninety percent mark.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
So no, he hasn't lost any of that base.

Speaker 27 (01:02:39):
And when it comes to that center of the electorate,
he's basically holding on there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
And his overall approval.

Speaker 27 (01:02:44):
Rating forty four percent is pretty goshcarn good for him
considering where he was at this point in term number one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Yeah, and what about CNN's overall polly They spoke to democrats,
they spoke to independence, and they spoke to conservatives. They
actually counted the number of the people that they surveyed
to ask them what was a priority to them, and
Epstein was on the list. Here's Harryenton again, what do

(01:03:11):
you think is behind it? Why there hasn't been more movement?

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (01:03:13):
Why hasn't hasn't there been more movement? I think this
is pretty simple. Take a look here, nation's top issue
is the Epstein case. This is the number of respondents.
This isn't the percentage of response. This is the number
of respondents.

Speaker 6 (01:03:24):
And our last CNN Paul look at that the number
of people.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Right, actual numbers of individual based upon their polling. So
if they do polling of like fourteen hundred, sixteen hundred
two thousand people they asked, they counted the number of
people who thought Epstein was at the top of the list.

Speaker 27 (01:03:41):
Zero respondents said that the Epstein case was the top issue.
How about among independents, zero independence center and among Republicans
and therefore overall just a single one. So, yes, there
used to be a lot of interest.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
In this story.

Speaker 27 (01:03:54):
But the bottom line is that even amongst those who
had high interest in the story, it wasn't something that
they thought was all that important. And as I said
at the beginning, the interest in.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
This story has fallen off the table. Now, why did
CNN do all of this? Why do they do all
of this? Why do they do this particular report because
CNN is moving on too, and they needed to give
justification for there being no traction on it. So what

(01:04:21):
they're telling they're killing their audience by saying, say, this
is what people are polling on the Epstein thing. Eighty
nine percent drop off of interest into the story. We're
gonna move on now, Okay, I don't want you guys
to think that we're gone soft on the president. But
you know, as you can see, you guys don't care.
So we're gonna move on. That's the whole reason why
they're doing it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:39):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
So when I told you what's the distraction, everything is
a distraction. Everything is something else. It's always Donald Trump
is doing this and doing that. No, it's because you
folks who are like a bunch of jumpin beans. You're
all over the place and you have no direction. Donald
Trump control the narrative, he controls the messaging, he controls

(01:05:04):
the news cycle, and everything he does is something to
contend with. When it comes to the major news media
out there today. Donald Trump could stub his toe and
the news media would make an argument for coffee tables.

Speaker 6 (01:05:20):
That's how they operate. Now let's go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
It's like zero five two two w T I C
what's going on, Rudy.

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):
Hey, I'm calling in about mental illness with the Liberals
and Democrats. Keep covering pretty well, but be very careful
of Chester. I'm just telling you, okay.

Speaker 6 (01:05:40):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Everybody told me that you know what they used to
say about that over into Chester didn't say it about
but when I first moved to Manchester, they were calling
it Clanchester when I first moved there, and I went, really,
you don't want to go.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
On the other side of the river gets even.

Speaker 6 (01:06:00):
Worse on the other side of Chess.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
Yeah. I want to give props to Trump though, because
what I read was it in one of the back
auxiliary stairwalls that staff used to move up and down
always as well with the picture.

Speaker 6 (01:06:15):
Oh really, no.

Speaker 19 (01:06:17):
It's not.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
I want to combine Pritzker King Charles. Did you hear
what he just recently said?

Speaker 7 (01:06:25):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
So last year the BBC reported London, I remember this
gets a call for a rape in progress once an hour, damn,
and you could guess who the suspects are.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
Yes, I do know. There's a growing number of that,
a growing number of calls.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
So he came out this week and read the Korean
and public and praised the Muslim contribution to the society
of the UK. Mentally ill. Pritzker mentally ill my home state,
I mean, I yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Well, hold on, before you mentioned the princekar thing, JB. Pritsker,
you got to give JB. Pritzker credit in the whole
mentally ill thing. Did you hear what he is requiring
for students from a third till to twelfth grade?

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
Did you hear what he mandate?

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
What he's mandating that every child, every child had a
mental fitness test, the mental fitness and evaluation.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
And then you got Governor Newsom, Yeah, demanding Trump put
a stop to Texas redistricting. The problem here is Democrats
have redistrict their states totally. You can't get elected in
New England and Congress indeed, so they've run out of
being able to redistrict Republicans out of office. And now

(01:07:46):
it's on the radar, and I mean, basantis fixed. A
bunch of Jerrymander districts from Jeff Bush, and I forgot
the Democrat he took over for from ninety nine two thousand.

Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
You know who are you're talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
In Why do I have the guy died in office?
Yes he did.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
Yes, I can't remember his name either.

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
He was actually from my city. I can't remember his name.
So I mean the mental illness on the left, I mean,
they all got those eyes when you see him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
The adam.

Speaker 5 (01:08:18):
So it's so appropriate that you put me on after
Tim and last week I misdiagnosed him with annisphily. I
don't know if you looked it up, but I took
a lot of psychology and sociology in college. There's a
thing called historic personality disorder, okay, And it's an addition
where you have unstable emotions, distorted self image, and you

(01:08:39):
have to be noticed. And his calls are always dramatic
or inappropriate to get attention. You said, you said what
the murder rate was before the twenty twenty pandemic. Exactly,
it was one hundred and forty six or twenty six.

Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
Yeah, no, one hundred and forty six.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
In twenty nineteen, he asked you why Trump didn't do anything,
because it wasn't three hundred murders like we're looking at today.

Speaker 6 (01:09:04):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
The murders per.

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
Thousand, for per thousand per capita of the city of
DC sizes is three hundred times higher than the national
average exactly. So I don't care if it dropped fifty,
it's still one hundred and fifty higher they're supposed.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
To be, exactly. And that's the whole point that they're
ignoring in that story, just sputting out that it's lowered
in it's lower lowered by thirty percent, but you still
don't look at the fact that it's it's through the
roof anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
I've been hearing Tim calling in for twelve thirteen years
to Varati, Devicenitch, to Shaddick, to you, to Feinberg sometimes
when there were three shows, all three all he's just
he's just throwing stinky eggs into a room to get
a negative attention response because.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
He made, you know what. He may like the attention
and he likes the notoriety. I think you're right. I
think there's a bit of notorious blue really a degree.

Speaker 6 (01:10:02):
I gotta go Rudy as always, sir, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Yeah, I think that there's a I think that there's
a true necessity in having that negative reaction, in sort
of getting back and forth. Uh, by the way, you
guys want to laugh, Let me let me read this
to you right now.

Speaker 6 (01:10:16):
You are all here.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Weeks ago when I talked about Jeffrey Epstein, when I
said there was no reason to talk about this story.

Speaker 6 (01:10:24):
The reason why I talked about it. You all know why.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
There were two guys in my chat room will always
say you don't want to talk about Epstein, you don't
want to talk about Epstein. And then I talked about Epstein.
Now that this new CNN thing comes out, let me
read you what Donald just wrote. He says, Reese, I
don't give two cents about Epstein's case. Let's talk about
the rise in homelessness, hunger, unemployment.

Speaker 6 (01:10:45):
The list goes on and on. Now he has no interest.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
I I'm gonna go back and find Donald's old statements
in my chat room because they're still there. He's probably
running to delete them. Now we'll be back. More news,
more views. We got weather and traffic in the news
coming up. Stand by go nowhere it's recent radio on
wt I see news TUC ten eighty see we're back
and let me see coming up?

Speaker 6 (01:11:13):
Let me what do I have? What wasn't between Rylands?
You got that winner?

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Oh, and then we have to reveal exactly what's going
on with the nineteenth of August. We will break that
down as well. So make sure that you stand by
for that. That is August nineteenth and twentieth what Recenter
Radio is going to be doing that you can all
be a part of if you can, and so just

(01:11:41):
stay tuned for that. We'll do that at the top
of the hour. Let me get to Joe, who's called
Hey Wall Street Joe.

Speaker 6 (01:11:47):
What's going on, sir?

Speaker 24 (01:11:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
Hi, A few things. I'd like to get a cross.
But before I do, I've got the perfect place for
that Obama portrait that has been relocated.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Where where do you got it?

Speaker 7 (01:12:00):
And I'm half serious. You know the FBI burned secret
burn room. They discovered all that documentation. Yeah that Obama
was behind. Yeah, hang him up in the burn room,
the secret burn room above all that documentation that he
was right in the middle of. I think that'd be appropriate.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
I think Look, if indeed it turns out to be
what I think it's going to be, and that is
a grand jury testimony of Barack Obama in Florida. And
again I don't expect any charges whatsoever. All I want
is testimony where he has to tell the truth. If

(01:12:39):
we could at least get that, and if it turns
out that he is open and honest about what took
place after the election, which, by the way, I didn't
tell you this. We have proof that Barack Obama was
letting the cat out of the bag before the true
intelligence assessment ever came out. And I actually watched the
video the other day. It was an interview he did

(01:13:01):
with NPR where he actually gives the assessment of the
CIA days before the CIA actually made its assessment.

Speaker 6 (01:13:09):
So he led the counter back.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
That he'd already put his thumb on the scale beforehand
in his NPR interview. I got to get that audio.

Speaker 6 (01:13:16):
But yeah, you're right, if it turns out to be true, I.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
Think, you know, you kind of treat him like you
would you know, Woodrow Wilson. You don't have his picture
of displayed anywhere when anyone can see it.

Speaker 6 (01:13:28):
You just do it. So what was the other thing
you wanted to get to.

Speaker 23 (01:13:33):
Well, that was before the three things. Number one, our
infamous Senator never would be where he is today if
it hadn't been for Jerry Mandarine redistricting here in back
you know, in Connecticut after the two thousand census, YEP,
the district that the Teacher of the Year now holds
in Congress. Nancy Johnson held that it was a Republican

(01:13:57):
district for decades. But after the two thousand census, the
Democrats went to work. Added some times, subtracted sometimes. And
who do you get with about a one percent victory
Congress new Congressman Chris Murphy. You can check that out.

Speaker 5 (01:14:13):
He would not be.

Speaker 7 (01:14:13):
Where he is. So if the Democrats start calling and
criticizing Texas, well, they would never have chl Murphy had
they not done it in Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Now that's why you don't hear a lot of rumbling here.
I've only got thirty seconds. I'll let you get in
one more.

Speaker 7 (01:14:26):
Well, Julane Maxwell up here in New Hampshire. I spent
a few weeks I tried to get through to you
a few weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
Well, you told me about that. You told me about
going to a statement.

Speaker 24 (01:14:38):
No, that was before it was put on the market
for sale. It was put on the market for sale
that very same week I last called in two million,
four hundred ninety five thousand, and that's a steal. It's
about twenty five cents on the dollar for real. You know,
one hundred and fifty six acres on top of the mountain,
a half mile road to get to it, an old

(01:14:59):
manship off the road halfway in that was just used
for storage.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Well, I got, I gotta get, I gotta get the
weather in traffic. But you know what, it's almost like
selling a haunted house. She wasn't gonna get top dollar
for that space anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:15:11):
Thank you, Joe. We gotta take a break.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
Let's get to some weather in traffic with our good
friends Jason Catarina, who I think is back, and Mark
Christophers at the BATPS Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):

Those of you who are activists who want to do
something positive and do it the right way. I'm going
to give you an opportunity to do.

Speaker 6 (01:17:26):
That, okay, and I'll explain that when we get back.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Also, don't forget later on in the show, we'll explain
why people are so outraged at the sixty three percent
approval rating of one Governor Ned Lamont. I'll explain to
you why that is. And I did some research behind it,
and you should not be surprised at that number. It
does make sense for him to have that kind of
approval rating.

Speaker 6 (01:17:49):
We'll break that down.

Speaker 5 (01:17:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Let's get to another check of whether in traffic with
Mark Christophers in a BPS traffic center, do we find
out that I wasn't even listening earlier as Jason Caterina
back because he back at all?

Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
Mark christenper I didn't you didn't hear right?

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
Find out a minute, christompher he's gonna BEPS traffic center.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Hey Mark, the NAACP calls him.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
WHOA, I don't think I'm it's on the radio.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
Let's just say some people are not fans.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
W T I sue, Oh, that was the best.

Speaker 6 (01:18:25):
Thank you for catching me out there with that one.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
That was brilliant. God bless you.

Speaker 6 (01:18:29):
Roland. There's a reason why the guy's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Got an Emmy for crying out loud. All right, come on,
you can never get rid of that my. That one
stays forever. No as permanent. That is permanent. You can't
ever get rid of that. That one's perfect. Thank you.
Oh god, it couldn't be. I'm so happy you read

(01:18:52):
that anyway, more news and more views than you can
shake a stick at.

Speaker 6 (01:18:56):
Yes, this is one I said, fired, I was wrong,
me correct.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
That a DC police commander is under investigation for allegedly
making changes to crime statistics in his district. According to
news Channel four in DC, they say that a former
commander in the third District that patrols the Adams, Morgan
and Columbia Heights area was placed on leave with pay,
and he told and told he was under investigation for

(01:19:23):
questionable changes to crime data.

Speaker 6 (01:19:26):
Questionable changes to crime data.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Again, listen, if you're doing a great job, you don't
have to make any changes. Right, you're making changes because
obviously what you're doing is not your job. Now, before
I get to the phones, let me read this. You
have to be prepared for stuff like this, because what

(01:19:53):
I need people to do is to go about advocating
for themselves in a meaningful.

Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
And very deliberate way.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
It is not as simple as screaming and hollering and
yelling at people. It is about gathering information and letting
people walk into the brick wall you've set up for
them by their own response.

Speaker 6 (01:20:26):
This from Connecticut Public Radio.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
Herbicides in Connecticut River will not pose a rest to
risk to swimmers, says US Army Corps of Engineers. The
US Army Corps of Engineers is reassuring the public that
chemicals they're adding to the Connecticut River to combat the
invasive hydrilla plant will not pose a risk to swimmers.

Speaker 6 (01:20:52):
The Army Corps will.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
Add herbicides on August nineteenth and twentieth to Chester Boat
Basins and Selden Cove.

Speaker 6 (01:21:02):
On those dates.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Their goal is to get rid of hydrilla, a fast
growing plant that can harm wildlife and other plants by
blocking light and raising oxygen levels. Hydrilla can also get
stuck in boat propellers, making it hard for boats to
access the river. Why is this important Because yours truly
will be there on the nineteenth, and I will be

(01:21:27):
there with a camera. I will be there with a microphone,
I will be there to film the efforts to put
chemicals in the water. I will be asking questions about
what they are using. I am also going to be
filming those individuals and how they are protecting themselves and

(01:21:48):
if they show up with a hazmat suit that will
further make the claim or solidify our concerns. We will
also watch them put this chemical in the water. Will
they spray on top or will they inject it into
the water stream, which is what they're supposed to do.

(01:22:11):
Did you know that, by the way, they're supposed to
take those hoses and put them in the water where
the hydrilla is and spray in the water. They are
not to spray above the water. That's according to their
own documents. And we will be there those of you
who joined me to film and to ask questions. We
are going to ask them when's the last time the

(01:22:35):
Army Corps of Engineers has done a study on the
herbicides that they're using. We're going to ask for them
to name the herbicides. We're going to have them also
explain to us why we shouldn't be concerned. We're going
to ask to speak to supervisors, and we're also going
to ask that the press be there as well as
these questions are answered, because we believe that the press

(01:23:00):
should be there while they're spraying these herbicides in the water.
I will be there even if the news media decides
to ignore it, will you. This is going to take
place at roughly about nine o'clock in the morning. Of
course that'll be before the show, so I will be

(01:23:21):
down there roughly at about eight, maybe even seven, but
I'll be there.

Speaker 6 (01:23:27):
And I will have my camera rolling.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
I will also have my cell phone and my wife's
cell phone recording anything and everything, and we will be
taking what we find and we will be forwarding that
too deep and we will be forwarding that to the EPA,
and we'll also be forwarding it to the news media,
and we'll see how they respond. They tell us there's

(01:23:53):
nothing to be concerned about. They tell us that what
they're doing is above board and buy the book. Well,
we're going to make sure of it, and again you
could join me. August nineteenth. We will be at the
Chester boat Basin and sell their cove and we're going

(01:24:14):
to get them on camera as they spray the water.

Speaker 6 (01:24:18):
No one's there to stop them.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
I don't want anybody creating roadblocks for them, allow them
to do the work that they're doing.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
I know this sounds crazy, but why will we.

Speaker 2 (01:24:28):
Let them do it? No, no, no, we don't want to
be a nuisance. We do not want to break the law.
We want to ask questions. We want our questions answered,
and we want to film them, and we want them
on the record doing what they said they're going to do.

Speaker 6 (01:24:43):
We don't want to see anybody any short sleeves.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
We don't see anybody wearing some RinkyDink mask and a
pair of eye goggles. We want to see them in
the full regalia that is approved by DEEP, the EPA
and all the environmental These supposed to the guys are
supposed to be covered from head to toe, and if
they're not, we're gonna get them on camera doing just

(01:25:08):
that or the opposite. Okay, so we're gonna talk about
it all week. I will remind you if you wish
to be there, you can join me. You guys know
that I'll be there on the seventeenth. I'll be there
all week, but we're gonna go down there. When I
found out they were doing this on the twentieth, I said,
somebody must not have told them that I was gonna
be in town, but I.

Speaker 6 (01:25:26):
Will be there. They don't want to answer question.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
The Army Corps Engineer, they didn't even show up the
last time that Bloomenthal held a rally there or held
some press conference there, they didn't even show up because
they didn't want to answer any questions. Well, we understand
that the Army Corps of Engineers, it's saying that they're
gonna be there to add herb Besides, this is their efforts.
So we're gonna see whether or not the Army Corps

(01:25:51):
of Engineers shows up or they're just farming it out
to some organization, maybe the one that's up in Massachusetts
that they've been using everywhere else. But we're gonna go
down there. We're gonna see if we can get somebody
to answer it in questions, which they should. They should
be able to answer simple questions. We'll see if we
can get a webby out there as well. But if
I were you, if you've got a camera or a

(01:26:14):
cell phone, to get down there and film it yourselves,
see what's being done to your backyard.

Speaker 6 (01:26:22):
That's just my view, but you can join me if
you want to. If you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
That's fine, no offense. But when I say it, but
I don't need you to do the job for me.
I wouldn't ask of you what I wouldn't do myself.
Never would I. I don't send people out in my
minions do this, do that like Chris Murphy does.

Speaker 6 (01:26:43):
We need people.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Screaming in there straighteners while he sits at home with
an empty cupboard. That boy get dishes yet. Anyway, I'm
not that guy. I'm not telling you to go out
there and do my work. I'm gonna be down there
my damn self, So Donald says Reese. I pray for you.

(01:27:04):
I can always appreciate a prayer. Two.

Speaker 6 (01:27:06):
I bet you you won't be down there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
Don't worry.

Speaker 6 (01:27:10):
I'll bring you a.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Couple that I'll bring you a cup of water. See
if you trust it, then see if see how how
well you trust your government.

Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
I'll go down there and I'll get a gallon of
that water.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
I'll bring it up to the neighborhood and I'll ask
you whether or not you trust them enough to drink it.
I bet you look at me like I'm trying to
harm you, because I know you don't want to drink
that water.

Speaker 6 (01:27:37):
I thought you were environmentalists.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
I thought all of you folks were climate change and
climate justice and redistribution and all that other good stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:27:48):
What happened to you people?

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
What happened When we come back, I'll explain what happened
to you people. Ned Lamont sixty three percent approval rating.
It's it's not it's not bull it's real. It's real.

Speaker 6 (01:28:04):
You guys just missed it. Let's thank Tom and Thomaston.

Speaker 5 (01:28:07):
Why not?

Speaker 22 (01:28:08):
Hey Tom, hey hey, uh uh yeah, remind us all.
I'll try to get out there when it happened.

Speaker 7 (01:28:15):
It's interesting.

Speaker 8 (01:28:17):
Uh.

Speaker 22 (01:28:18):
Two quick things, Oh man, I tried to get in Friday.
You tried to tell that Jeff guy that it was
irrelevant that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Oh no, he wasn't. No he did. He committed a
crime back I guess thirteen years ago. But yes, I
was trying to keep it relative. In other words, I
was keeping it relative to the issue of his altercation
with Brian Fahe.

Speaker 6 (01:28:44):
But I think he was suggesting.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
That I was keeping his criminality under wraps, as if
to protect him or shield him from something. But it
was me who initiated that by reading the report saying
that he was a convicted felon. So I didn't.

Speaker 6 (01:28:59):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
It didn't wash as far as I was concerned, Why
bring it up if I was trying to protect.

Speaker 22 (01:29:03):
Him, But it was both. You did bring it up,
but you tried to tell him that even if even
if it was true. Yeah, because back then it was
kind of alleged. It had no bearing on the incident.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
Yeah, I know, and I know that, and I think,
and jeff'son good guys, I don't want to. I don't
want to cast any expersions on him.

Speaker 6 (01:29:25):
I think where he was coming from was pure.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
But I thought that his concern was unfounded because, as
I said, if I wanted to like, the suggestion.

Speaker 6 (01:29:35):
That I was shielding him to me made no sense.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Was because it was one of the things I highlighted
to bring up, and I said, oh, they're calling him
a convicted felon.

Speaker 6 (01:29:45):
Let's address that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Since that's what they're saying about him, and given an
opportunity to as a journalist, I'm supposed to it's right there.

Speaker 6 (01:29:51):
So I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
Again, if I was trying to shield it, I would
have said, Okay, let's not talk about that, because I
don't want to bring that up.

Speaker 6 (01:29:56):
I didn't.

Speaker 22 (01:29:57):
I brought it up, and it was a society we're
supposed to, uh you know, uh praise people that have
turned their lives around and now are on.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
I would like, I said, I think that that's what
Roseanne was bringing up as well. It was just like, uh,
it just didn't make any sense. But anyway, what was
the other thing?

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
Real quick?

Speaker 22 (01:30:17):
Have you ever heard the uh the national anthem that
uh great TV and w T I C the CBS
affiliate in Connecticut. They do it every morning now around
four o'clock. It's by a youth orchestra and a woman
named Sidney Jacks. It is phenomenal.

Speaker 6 (01:30:38):
I have heard it. In fact, I was it's so funny.
The first time I heard it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
I had to do was when the first time I'd
ever filled in for Brian and Company, and I heard
it one early morning I was getting ready. It had
to be the first time I had filled in for
Brian Company. I got in real early and I heard it.
You're absolutely right, it is phenomenal. And people thought that
the reason why I do the the Star's Bango bannerud
was because of it, But I'm like, no, I've been
doing that for years in the beginning of my show.

(01:31:04):
But I love the fact that broadcasters beginning are starting
with the with the Star Spangled banner.

Speaker 22 (01:31:10):
Yeah, and it's a youth orchestra and she is, so
she's maybe better than Whitney Houston's version.

Speaker 6 (01:31:19):
Whoa god, I would a minute's really really good it is?

Speaker 22 (01:31:22):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's fantastic. She just does she
keeps it straight and just does a little bit of
her roan at the end of the song. Gotcha, you
could look on YouTube. If you haven't seen it.

Speaker 18 (01:31:38):
You're not.

Speaker 6 (01:31:39):
Yeah, everybody has.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Everybody always puts a little flare on the star Spangled banner.
I got to admit hers is Actually her flare is
almost unrecognizable. It's like it's not a sense where it's
like it throws it completely off. But yeah, I do
recognize she puts her own little owner, little signature on
the end.

Speaker 22 (01:31:58):
Yeah, it's the it's the Whitney Houston disease. And then
everyone after her had to go more and more and more.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Hey, you know what, that's a hell of a compliment
that people are putting their own inflection on of it
inspired by Whitney Houston, Because as you just said, I
think that forever she will be the standard bearer in
that song.

Speaker 14 (01:32:23):
Out of that and Ray Charles.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
Oh beautiful, Yeah, without a doubt. Absolutely, Thank you, boss man.
I appreciate you. Yeah, Ray Charles is America is uh,
that's it And I don't think you get better than that.
That's still a great rendition of that song. All right,
we'll get to some of the rest of your phone
calls as well, Jeff says. Jeff says, you know, none

(01:32:50):
of the core of engineer workers will be allowed to
answer questions.

Speaker 6 (01:32:54):
That's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
Remember no is an answer is a complete sentence, and
I will definitely be seeing if they answer any question.
They should have a spokesperson down there, and if they don't,
they should have a number of somebody that we can
contact should they be able to operate with impunity.

Speaker 6 (01:33:17):
Nobody here should believe that or stand by.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
That's why we're gonna That's why I'm gonna be there,
is to say, Okay, you're the Army Corps of Engineers.
You do answer to the public. You are putting this
herbicide in their water. Don't you think you should answer
some questions about it? If they find that to be unreasonable.
I will say, well, good, give me the telephone number

(01:33:42):
of somebody who thinks it is reasonable to ask. I
have one ground rule, folks, folks, and it's one that
you should live by. Never expected yes from a person
who isn't qualified to give it. Let's get another check
of whether in traffic blab blah, since infa, Jason Catarina
and Mark Christphy's in a BPS traffic center.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
Hey, Mark, stay locked in locked race on the radio
is on wt I see news.

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
I want to thank everybody for the concern about me
going down there too on the nineteenth.

Speaker 6 (01:34:17):
Trust me.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
I've worked this out. There's a whole bunch of logistics
stuff that I have to and I appreciate those of
your concerned. I was like, but you can't go here,
and you might not be able to go there, And
I'm just like I got discovered. I promise you I will.
I wouldn't be doing it if I was under any
impression that I wouldn't be able to do the things
that I need to do, So that I promise you

(01:34:39):
I will, all right, And I, like I said, never
ever put anybody else in any you know, situation, I
wouldn't put myself in. And I ain't going down there
to get arrested, just going down there to go get answers.
And I want people the Army corp of Engineers never
shows up to talk to anyone, and when you ask
anybody your question, no one wants to answer anything. Well,

(01:35:00):
gonna go down there as members of the press, We're
gonna ask them. Look as we've seen members of the press,
with the exception of a few, they went down there
to rally support for the people who wish to poison
the water. We're not going down there to do that.
We're going down there to go get the questions that

(01:35:20):
we want to answer to answer, and we will get them,
and we'll also be able to film them doing what
they're doing, and we make sure they're gonna do it
by the book as they say they're going to do.
When they say that people are gonna be covered up,
they should be covered up. I mean we're talking that
they should be in hasmad according to what their own

(01:35:41):
guidelines say. And if they're farming, this work out right,
because what do they tell us. They said the individuals
are going to be doing this, they're gonna be following regulation. Well,
we're gonna have regulation and we're gonna point out that's
not regulation. That person's wearing a short sleeve shirt. Why
are they spraying above the water and not in it?

(01:36:02):
And we'll have the documents there to show them says
you're doing this and you're not.

Speaker 6 (01:36:08):
So that's the role of this I And again, like
I know that, usually.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
The concern is, and I've said this before, people think
sometimes things are ineffective because they haven't been tried before.
But then I look at things that have been tried,
and I start doing my research about what things have
gone ignored, and then I look at the stuff that

(01:36:33):
I have done in the past to get attention, and
I'm not doing it. It's not a stunt. Let me
just put it that way. It's not a stunt. It's
there to get answers. Some people do it as a stunt,
you know, they're trying to raise alarms, and look what

(01:36:53):
I'm doing. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that.
I'm The objective here is to be effective, incredibly effective
to the point where people start saying, Okay, we got
to start talking to these people. So that's what we're
gonna do. And like I said, we've got all week
this weekend next to talk about it, and we will.

Speaker 6 (01:37:14):
We'll get to all of that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
Also, we've got to talk about the approval rating of
Governor ned Lamont. People seem to be outraged that this
guy has a sixty three percent approval rating, and I'm
here to tell you that that's not.

Speaker 6 (01:37:31):
That's not nonsense.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
It makes sense. It lets you know exactly where you
are or the state of this state, and we're gonna
break it down. I'll talk to you about it when
we get back, So don't go anywhere, stay on the phones.
We'll get to you as well. We'll stand by. Now
another check of whether in traffic. Bob Larson's in from
Jason Katerina, Mark Christopher's in the BPS Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
He's race on the radio on news to ten at.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
I say, see.

Speaker 6 (01:38:01):
All right, we're back.

Speaker 5 (01:38:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
If you haven't, go to recenter radio dot com. That's
our E E S E on the radio dot com
so you can read my substack article is one every Sunday,
and trying to do it every Sunday so that everybody
has something to read Sunday afternoon Sunday evening to then
talk about on Monday. And this article this week was
called celebrating hunger. Ned Lamont cell suffering with a sixty

(01:38:24):
three percent approval rating. And when I go to promote
the substack article, I will usually grab a poll quote
and put that at the header. And a pull quote
that I put up got some attention from people, and
I don't know if they read the article. I hope
they did, but it looked like the only thing they

(01:38:45):
were interested in was this poll quote. And here it
was Lamont's approval rating a cozy sixty three percent as
of July of twenty twenty five, landing him six amongst
US governor sixty three percent. And I go on to

(01:39:05):
say that who are these people? Are these pole responders
brainwash MSNBC watchers. Sure they are, of course they are,
But that's not the reason why he has a sixty
three percent approval rating. Ned Lamont will probably lose against

(01:39:28):
Josh Elliott if there is a primary.

Speaker 6 (01:39:31):
There's strong likelihood that he will lose.

Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
And with that sixty three percent approval rating, people will
then ask the question, well, how did he lose?

Speaker 6 (01:39:43):
Because it isn't about anything.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
Real, It isn't not in the grand scheme of things.
You say, people in Connecticut who approve of ned Lamont,
approve of him blindly, because why wouldn't you. It's not
that they don't care about the growing number of homeless
people in the state. It's not that they don't care

(01:40:07):
about the growing number of people who can't feed themselves.
It's not because they don't care about their lack of
jobs and the amount of crime. It isn't they all
care about those things, But they care more about beating
Republicans and Conservatives. They hate them more. They are willing

(01:40:35):
to to risk their own lives. They are willing to
risk the lives of those homeless people in the winter
than to hold their governor, a Democrat, responsible. It's not
that they don't care, is that they care more about
Lamont's reputation. They can do two things at once. They

(01:40:58):
can be concerned, but they'll never let you know that.
They will never seed that his governor, his tenure as
governor of the state is awful, God awful.

Speaker 6 (01:41:13):
They'll never see that. It's about pride. They voted for
this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
And you you're evil.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
They'll tell you all day, what would you do?

Speaker 8 (01:41:27):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (01:41:27):
What you think we should have a Republican? Because God forbid,
let that evil person run the state. When you hear
these people talk about cults, that's what this is. You're
witnessing that. When you turn around and you read that
article and you're like, nobody pulled me.

Speaker 21 (01:41:50):
What.

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
No one's gonna pull a reasonable person here, and no
reasonable person is gonna say anything like Lamont's doing a
great job, look at the state of our state and
say that this is what we need more of.

Speaker 6 (01:42:05):
Of course not.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
They would sooner tell you in a heartbeat that he's
not progressive enough.

Speaker 6 (01:42:14):
A Josh Elliott.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Huh, he's not taxing people enough. A Josh Ellien. He's
got the right idea, but he's just not willing to
go far enough. But he's damn sure no Republican because
that's pure evil.

Speaker 6 (01:42:34):
So when you look at that polling data, shrug it off.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
Look, I'm sorry your friends and neighbors who are going
to more than likely give you Governor Elliott without a
doubt they're going to do it.

Speaker 6 (01:42:51):
Those people are.

Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
Just going to continue to vote for the same things
until we're talking about absolute ruin ruin in the state.
You don't forget the rich and wealthy who can afford it,
who don't care. The elites they're gonna continue to pay
those taxes. They'll find other loopholes. They'll just find another

(01:43:15):
way to finagle. But they're gonna stay. They're not going anywhere.
They're not gonna create any more businesses. Don't get me,
don't go crazy, No, no, no. Those people will go
to their lunches and their banquets, and they'll pack themselves
on the back to the live long day talking about

(01:43:36):
the new thing that they're doing to feed a hungry child,
or the new thing that they're doing to housing illegal.

Speaker 6 (01:43:46):
That's what they'll do.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
They'll pack themselves on the back, create awards for themselves,
have their fancy banquets. Chicken her fish, chicken her fish.

Speaker 6 (01:43:58):
But what are you gonna do? Seriously, what are you
gonna do?

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
Nothing? I say no, I say forget all that. I'm
not gonna do anything. I gotta fight back. I'm just
gonna fight back. There are some people out there. They're
not a part of the cult. They're not people who
who are okay with the sixty three percent approval rating.
Those people are gonna stand up soon. You'll see, you'll see.

(01:44:26):
Let's go to the phones. Hey Mary, how are you hi?

Speaker 10 (01:44:29):
Res I'm here how are you.

Speaker 2 (01:44:31):
I'm good. What's going on?

Speaker 10 (01:44:33):
I'm calling about dplat.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
What do you got?

Speaker 10 (01:44:37):
Thank you so much for what you're doing. This is
very close to home for me. I was chemically injured
twice in my life, and for them to say this
is safe, they don't know. And okay, it's hard for
me to gather my thoughts.

Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
That's okay, take it time, nothing to be nervous about.
Take it, take a moment.

Speaker 10 (01:45:02):
I'm not nervous result of some of my chemical injuries.
And I also fell on my head when I was
three year old, but that's.

Speaker 16 (01:45:12):
A different story.

Speaker 10 (01:45:14):
I think it affects the right side of my brain,
which is I think where words come from, and so
I can think of thought, but I can't express it well.
So let me try to make it clear more clear.
So typically substances like this, d quat is the trade name,

(01:45:35):
and almost like Kleenex is the name for tissue, and
if you had other places chemical companies making it, they
might call there something else. But the active ingredient in
the quat, i think one of your callers said the
other day, is the same as the active ingredient in
agent orange, which was used in Vietnam, and I can't

(01:45:58):
be certain. I don't have a way to fact check myself.
I don't have a computer right now, and I can't
look up things.

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
No, no, right, that is the running scene.

Speaker 10 (01:46:09):
Okay, But it seems to me that it was proven
that agent orange caused cancer in young men who came
back from that war and got cancer and died. And
I'm not sure, but I was in a support group
for people whose loved ones had Parkinson's disease, and I

(01:46:35):
know there were several of them there whose husbands had
been in Vietnam near agent orange and they had Parkinson.
So I don't know if there's a connection, but in
my mind there is. Okay, Now, one thing I'll tell you.
In a nutshell substances like this, there's an active ingredient

(01:46:56):
and then there are other ingredients called inert mm hm
in air quotes, because someone like me would say inert
means not active. Well, of course not. It's not going
to do any harm because it's benign or whatever. But
that's not really what that means. It only means that

(01:47:18):
they are not the active ingredients. But you can have
VOCs and other chemicals like xylene talloween trichloral, trichloral fpane,
the whole list of them, and it's a mix, it's
a concoction, and this mix has never probably been used

(01:47:39):
before because it's part of the people that are making
d quats.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
And that you know, it's a great point that you're
making here, Mary, is this okay? And just not to
cut off, but I just want to want to say,
I want to point out where you're going with this,
because when we talk to Jeff Cordisco of C and
D Underwater Maintenance, the one thing that he made clear
was the fact that all of this testing that the
EPA had done back thirty years ago were all under

(01:48:06):
controlled situations. They did not factor in whether temperature environment.
Those things are done inside of a lab. So the
point you're bringing out is you can put that in
an environment where anything can happen. They're saying it's not
going to be harmful to anyone because of this, that
and the third.

Speaker 6 (01:48:26):
But that's not how nature works. Nature changes every day.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
You can spray in the wrong place, and you can
spray at the wrong time.

Speaker 6 (01:48:34):
All you need is one.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Person to like a bird, a fish, or anyone like that,
to actually take in or consume a lethal dose of
it and the next thing, you know, that transfers into
a human being, and that's not a controlled situation.

Speaker 10 (01:48:49):
That's exactly it. And also, okay, bear with me, children
who might be swimming in these places our smaller physical size,
and that makes them much more susceptible to any poisoning
or toxic effects than a normal adult sized person.

Speaker 2 (01:49:12):
Correct.

Speaker 10 (01:49:14):
Okay, then you also have so what you were talking
about is synergy. So if you had one plus two
equals three, if you combine the things the wrong way
for the wrong substances, they can add up to fifty
two plus one in that situation. So that's exactly right.
I would want to know where is the material safety

(01:49:35):
data sheet for this substance? Is it out of China?
And I'm sorry, but to me, this is the form
of chemical warfare. If China's putting this out, not letting
it in their own country, but spreading it around the world,
where have we heard that before?

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
Good point? Okay, very good point.

Speaker 10 (01:49:56):
I have to think this way because there's many people
I know, many men, many people through the last thirty
years that I've been in contact with, who have maybe
it wasn't caused by the same substance. But there's all
a myriad of illnesses. You've got the firefighters who are

(01:50:16):
at ground zero, correct, they're sick. Chemical Sensitivity Foundation Alison
Johnson in Maine has papers on that different groups, and
now a lot of them they're not there anymore. I
think their members are too sick to continue. But you
have the Chemical Injury Information Network would have a monthly

(01:50:38):
newsletter about chemical sensitivity, fibromialgia, gull four syndrome. There was
a whole gamut of illnesses.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
You bring up another good point, Mary, and I'll tell
you why. What are the things that I found out
in my research when it came to DQUAT was there
are certain studies that they're not allowed to do because
you know how some environmental studies can be done here
and there, but the most important one is always about
human consumption, right, and when you have an herbicide or

(01:51:12):
a poison, you can't do like a human test on
that because again we're talking about a fatality rate. What
do we know about those who have been sickened by
the use of d quay We had one case that okay,
study that I watched where a guy inadvertently swallowed a
bottle or like a sip of dquat that someone put in.

Speaker 6 (01:51:32):
A gatorade bottle in Brazil.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
Yeah, and within thirty minutes he had kidney failure. So
that's about the only testing they could give. And that
study was actually done in Florida. When I Sert researched that,
that was the only study that they had. So you
can't do human testing on an herbicide because an essence,
you'd be paying somebody to die. Right, So that would

(01:51:56):
be like you know, like Fauci with the Poot with
the with the beagle testing, you know, doing like these
ungodly experiments on people. This would be Tuskegee, you know,
two point zero. But that's on steroids, I should say.
But that's the reason why they haven't done that testing.
So when you have these people saying that it's okay
to humans, there's no studies on that that prove that

(01:52:16):
to be true.

Speaker 10 (01:52:19):
That's right, and there's a lot of these substances that
it will come out one years later that people are
getting sick and then they'll'll withdraw it. And that's not
the same as saying it's safe. It's not safe until
you prove it unsafe. That's right, it should be. You
don't do it when you have less toxic or least toxic.

Speaker 15 (01:52:42):
Like the ego.

Speaker 10 (01:52:43):
Harvesting, like the carb Why don't you do that? And
like you say, it's a money making scheme. To me,
it just feels like there's something off with this, and
I would, Okay, the one last thing, I'll say, you're
going to ask questions of the the Army Corps Engineers,
Corps of Engineers. Those people who are applying it, they're

(01:53:05):
like exterminators and they don't really know what they're doing.
I would go to the top. Well, I'm not telling
you what to do, but I'm just saying if it
were me, and if I had the resources I've been
wanting to make these calls, if I only knew, I
would go to is the Army Corps of Engineers under
the jurisdiction of the United States Army, the national entity. Okay,

(01:53:31):
I'll tell you I made many many calls to the EPA,
and I would feel like, I'm just I don't know
what I'm talking about. I would get these heads of departments,
who are the nicest people. Not everyone there was resoptive,
and if they did, I would just thank them for
their time and hang up. I didn't want to argue
with them, but okay, I had a lot of them

(01:53:55):
would talk to me and bring it to my level
or let me ask questions and say called back. And
one I did call back many times. He was the
head of the department in North Carolina, one of the
head researchers, and told me he was writing a letter
for me and if the EPA would not allow him

(01:54:15):
to use their letter head, he said, go to my
library and look up American Men of Science. And he's
in there and looking at his credentials. I was like flabbergasted.

Speaker 2 (01:54:25):
Well, Mary, I got it. Unfortunately I got to get
to the top two. But no, I appreciate everything it
is that you're doing. And thank you for the call in.
And I know you don't call it often, but I
appreciate you.

Speaker 6 (01:54:34):
Okay, Okay, you got it.

Speaker 8 (01:54:36):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (01:54:37):
No problem.

Speaker 2 (01:54:38):
All right, let's get another check of weather and traffic.
I hate it after cover off, but you know, time allotted. Uh,
let's get to Jason Calerina. Sorry. Bob Larson was in
for Jason Calerina and Mark Christopher's in the BPS Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:54:48):
Hey, mark the hour the bags Hell Punch Punch. It's
rees on the radio on wt I S News Talk
ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
All right, and we are back, and you know what
time it is.

Speaker 6 (01:55:04):
It's Hollywood News. And in today's Hollywood News, ladies and gentlemen,
I've got a.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
Story for you because I'm actually kind of close to
this weirdly enough, and I did not know that I
could actually go and do this, But recently it was
just announced it was the fortieth anniversary of a movie
that it actually pretty well in the box office back
in the day, Peewee's Big Adventure. For those of you

(01:55:36):
who did watch it, I didn't know this, but it
debuted on August ninth, nineteen eighty five, and the film
went on to make forty million dollars. By today's standard,
that would be one hundred and twenty two million. It
was recently purchased by the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.

(01:56:00):
They purchased it at auction for one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars. And now the Alamo is going to
be displaying Pee Wee Herman's bicycle outside the uh I
Guess as part of its venue. Oars by part of
its h I guess it's museum, but yes, pee Wee
Herman's famous bike from the movie pee Wee's Big Adventure

(01:56:24):
is now there.

Speaker 6 (01:56:25):
I love the stories like.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
This, to be honest with you, because again, I grew
up with eighties films. I don't I think I watched
pee Wee's Big Adventure once. I think, tell him large
Marge centrare a large march. That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:56:40):
That was the way I remember that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
And what was the line up when he tries to
convince somebody on the phone that he's in Texas and
he sings that line and everybody.

Speaker 6 (01:56:50):
Stops and goes He's in the heart of Tech.

Speaker 2 (01:56:53):
That's the only thing I can remember from the movies.
It's not a lot that I remember from pee Wee's
Big Adventure.

Speaker 6 (01:56:58):
You know the whole I know you are, but what
my and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
There are a few things that it is like you
did you watch that?

Speaker 6 (01:57:06):
I didn't know it was a classic film.

Speaker 2 (01:57:08):
I know it is now watched it an of times
if you watched it a hundred times. I was not
a Peewee Herman fan or his television show, which I
understand a lot of people grew up on and loved it.

Speaker 6 (01:57:21):
The Door the Secret Word.

Speaker 2 (01:57:24):
Lawrence Fishburne got his start, well, didn't get his started.
Lawrence fishburn was on the show You Got to Start
much earlier, but yeah, he was on that program. Let's
get to some weather. In traffic, Bob Larson is in
for Jason Katarina and Mark Christopher. He's in a BPS
traffic center.

Speaker 7 (01:57:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
The only thing I do remember from Pee Wee's big adventure,
of course, was he really revolutionized the tequila song back
in the days. He made it sort of mainstream popular
back in the days. Mark Christopher, do you remember that
the song by the Champs?

Speaker 6 (01:57:56):
Yeah, Tequila that was That was the one that he.

Speaker 2 (01:58:00):
I didn't even know that song until until pee Wee Herman.
There it is. There was even a rap song, really yeah,
do the pee Wee Herman by a rapper named Joe
Ski Love Wow. Yep, this song goes back to nineteen
fifty eight.

Speaker 8 (01:58:21):
Yep.

Speaker 28 (01:58:21):
Some pretty cool saxophone on this.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Yeah, undeniable there you go.

Speaker 29 (01:58:26):
Oh yeah, good stuff, good stuff holds still.

Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
This is only gonna hurdle little It's race.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
On the radio news w T I ses.

Speaker 2 (01:58:45):
And We're back, Rama says, I love pee Wee's Big Adventures.
It started the magic that was Tim Burton. That try
I did find out. That was one of the things
I just learned about it that Tim Burton did direct
pee Wee's Big Adventure from a film students standpoint difference
every genre of film. That it was a remake of
an old Italian film called The Bicycle Feet. The more

(01:59:07):
you know, I did not know that. That's interesting. Let's
get to the phones. We've got plenty of people online.
Let's go to my good poison. Franklin Woodbridge was going
on time.

Speaker 30 (01:59:16):
You know, pee Wee Harmer is a perfect example. You
could do a million things right in life, and unfortunately,
I guess she got a little too excited.

Speaker 2 (01:59:23):
One time in a small movie theater.

Speaker 30 (01:59:27):
Yeah, a small movie.

Speaker 21 (01:59:28):
I mean I can see that.

Speaker 30 (01:59:29):
I'm sure he's not the only guy that did that,
but I mean he got caught. I want to talk
about the Washington crime problem. It's a great idea that
Trump took over because there are two things people should
should know about the Washington Police Department. We'd like to
tell the truth. Number One, they're the worst department in
the history of America when it comes to solving.

Speaker 2 (01:59:50):
Murders all do absolutely right.

Speaker 30 (01:59:54):
And second, who runs that police department.

Speaker 2 (01:59:58):
Aside from Mario bows are right? Yes, yes, indeed right.

Speaker 30 (02:00:05):
So I mean you got to tell the truth. I
mean I told my black friends just because you put
a black man or a black woman in charge, that
doesn't mean that person's going to solve the problem, especially
when they're a Democrat. You see, to me, poverty can't
be solved. It's too big of a business. Think about
what would happen tomorrow morning. If there was no poverty
in America. We'd have an unemployment rate of twenty percent.

(02:00:28):
Think about all the people that would be out of work.
Think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:31):
I think the interesting part about that argument that has
been made right because Baltimore is another perfect example of
this what we were told post civil rights era, from
the seventies, the eighties and into the nineties, that what
we needed was the system run by people who look
like those in the communities. So Baltimore did it. They

(02:00:52):
made the show the district attorney was black. They made
sure that the police chief was black. They made sure
that the mayor was black. Right, they made sure that
everybody there was black and you know, identified as such.
And then what did we get in all of the
places where we made all of those changes, those sweeping changes,
we made them on an appearance level, not an an

(02:01:12):
ideological one. It turns out those places got worse because
the only people that ended up benefiting.

Speaker 6 (02:01:19):
And that's the problem here. New York is another example.

Speaker 2 (02:01:21):
You got Alvin Bragg and you got Eric Adams, both black,
by the way, and you get what. What they ended
up getting was was a lenient criminal justice system that
allowed the worst of the worst leniency while everyone else
who paid for that leniency and electing those people got hosed.

(02:01:43):
And they don't seem to understand it.

Speaker 30 (02:01:46):
January fourth, nineteen sixty four started a downfall of the
black family. The War on Poverty nineteen eighty started a
downfall of the white family. White women going to college.
These women are a disaster. They're useless to America.

Speaker 2 (02:02:02):
They're liberally damn what wait, they're not useless, Go ahead,
the liberal.

Speaker 30 (02:02:08):
Like Rudy said, which means they're mentally ill. They're not
getting married to contributing nothing to society as far as
the birth rate. And that leads me to my last point.
Trump's gonna bring all these manufacturing jobs home. Let's say
he does. Who's gonna fill them? We have no birth
rate in this country. We can't fill the manufacturing jobs
we have right now, seventy thousand trusts.

Speaker 2 (02:02:30):
That's a key that's a key point of all of
all of that. That's right, because even if we bring
them all in once everybody sort of like the old
folks that you know, die out, we don't have a replacement, right.

Speaker 30 (02:02:41):
Though, they filled my foreigners. That's who they're gonna do,
foreigners who are educated with a birth rate in this
country because for two reasons, one the black woman having
abortion and the white women being on the pill. That's
the result of no birth rate. Those two disasters.

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
Oh so don't forget climate change, don't forget.

Speaker 30 (02:03:00):
All three of them are an abomination in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (02:03:02):
Well, it's again, this is the constant theme that that
ends that you know are our very existence. But you
know what, that's another time for another subject. But you
bring up a very good point.

Speaker 5 (02:03:12):
They get some.

Speaker 30 (02:03:12):
Good news though. Before I go there, I got three
phone calls Assassinoon from three young guys in college. They're
at three different features and the beaches are jammed with
white women. They need to get some color in their skin.

Speaker 5 (02:03:22):
They're too white.

Speaker 18 (02:03:23):
Goodbye, walking around like a bottle of milk.

Speaker 6 (02:03:26):
Get out of here, glad, let's go. Dave is in Branford. Hello, Dave.

Speaker 17 (02:03:33):
Yeah, how you doing?

Speaker 5 (02:03:35):
Reese?

Speaker 31 (02:03:36):
The nice lady was talking about the d quatry the
hour break, and I don't want to be a know
at all, but she's a little bit wrong. She implied
that the d quat is like agent orange, you know,
from the Vietnam War, and it's toxic in that way.
And I'm not here to.

Speaker 17 (02:03:51):
Apologize for the chemical manufacturers.

Speaker 31 (02:03:53):
But they really work very hard to get the toxic effects.

Speaker 16 (02:03:57):
Uh.

Speaker 31 (02:03:58):
The agent orange was chlorinete, benzene rings phenol actually, and
it didn't degrade in the environment very well. And when
you manufactured it, you generated very incredibly poisonous dioxin as
an unavoidable byproduct to making that chemical. And so there
was a lot of discussion. Was it dioxin that poisoned

(02:04:18):
our soldiers and you know, the herbicide appliers, or was
it the chemical itself that you would trying to manufacturers?

Speaker 2 (02:04:24):
But I understand, but let me let me let me
just let me just jump in a quick, quick moment,
I thought that. And I'm almost positive in this because
again I've done enough. There is dioxin in d quiet
Am I wrong? There?

Speaker 31 (02:04:39):
Dioxin is an environmental contaminant that if you test you'll
find it everywhere.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 31 (02:04:46):
Generally, when you manufacture it in the high high temperature,
high pressure reactors, you free radical chlorinate benzene rings. Okay,
and that and and that's a crap shoot. You get
a whole spec victrum of different stuff and you only
want one or two of you know, isomers, the target ingredient.

Speaker 17 (02:05:06):
And so what do you do with it? That's when Hooker.

Speaker 31 (02:05:09):
Chemical got in trouble up at Love Canal when they
cleaned out the reactors and they had all this black
tarry goop left.

Speaker 17 (02:05:15):
Over at the bottom that was not the target chemical.

Speaker 2 (02:05:18):
And what do you do with it?

Speaker 17 (02:05:19):
It's totally useless. It's full of chemicals. It won't break
that anyway.

Speaker 31 (02:05:23):
The dquot has got bromine instead of chlorine, which is
rather less reactive, so it's less toxic. There's only two bromine,
two bromines in the molecule, and instead of a benzene ring,
which is hard for nature to crack.

Speaker 17 (02:05:39):
They put a nitrogen.

Speaker 31 (02:05:40):
There's two nitrogens in it to make it easier for
nature to crack open the ring. So the point of
this is not to apologize for the chemical companies, but
they are trying to make it less toxic. And I
and that was the lesson for the day.

Speaker 17 (02:05:54):
You can't just say.

Speaker 31 (02:05:55):
All these chemicals a lot of the And also it's
not as bioaccumulates in the body like the chlorinative stuff
is like DDT.

Speaker 17 (02:06:04):
It's not that it was all that poisonous.

Speaker 31 (02:06:06):
It's that if you got dosed with it, you never
got rid of.

Speaker 17 (02:06:08):
It out of your body. It hung around in your
fat forever.

Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
But now this but this d quot and the glyphysate,
and that's the version that they're using here in Connecticut.
That version of it does far worse than because I
understand that's not only that only breaks that what Okay,
let me get this correct from what I'm gathering, and
you correct me if I'm wrong here. That what it

(02:06:34):
does to the body, if inhaled or ingested, can cause
organ failure.

Speaker 31 (02:06:40):
Yes, it's a very strong irritance. It puts you into anaphylaxis.
You know that anaphylaxis can cause organ failure, okay.

Speaker 17 (02:06:51):
Which is almost an autoimune reaction.

Speaker 5 (02:06:54):
Right.

Speaker 31 (02:06:55):
I'm not here to argue whether we should use it
or not. I think generally the problem is there's so
many synthetic chemicals that are in the soup that we
live in every day that one more is nearly always
a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (02:07:07):
Gotcha, Okay.

Speaker 31 (02:07:09):
I think there are certain circumstances where it is the
best choice. But I go back, and I waited on
it early because of the work that you've done on
the show. Manual harvesting is probably the best way to
do it.

Speaker 17 (02:07:22):
It may cost more, it may.

Speaker 31 (02:07:24):
Take more man hours, it may take years to get
successful control. But at least people can swim in the
water and they're not worried. You can sleep at night. Yes, indeed,
oh my god, they poisoned the lake last week and
we swam in it, and that's not good for your
health either.

Speaker 2 (02:07:39):
Thank for letting me.

Speaker 6 (02:07:39):
Get that old You got it. I appreciate you today,
You Dad, you got it. Let's go who else?

Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
So I have here? I think we'll go to blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. Let's go to Jim
and Willington. Hello, Jim.

Speaker 20 (02:07:53):
Yes, sir, you mentioned Pee Wee Herman. He used to
have a weekly show.

Speaker 2 (02:07:57):
On I know, Saturday mornings.

Speaker 20 (02:08:00):
I'll tell you what I used to get up. I
used to watch that show because what you were hearing
and seeing wasn't exactly what the message was. There was
always two things going on there and only one and
was what you were hearing and seeing.

Speaker 18 (02:08:12):
The uh, the double the double uh?

Speaker 6 (02:08:14):
He did did he do a lot of double entendre stuff.

Speaker 20 (02:08:17):
Oh my gosh, I mean with his eyes, with his expressions.
Maybe one of the certain characters would have come on.
I forgot who they all wore.

Speaker 2 (02:08:24):
But I'm gonna you know what, It's funny because I
do remember that. I do remember that was sort of
like an underlying theme with the show that he secretly
was talking to his adult audience and to even to
bolster what you're talking about. Many people don't know this.
Paul Rubins was very heavy in a culture that was

(02:08:48):
quote unquote pro drug back in the days.

Speaker 6 (02:08:52):
He was even in a couple.

Speaker 2 (02:08:54):
Of Cheech and Chong films. If I remember, yeah, Yes
he was.

Speaker 20 (02:08:58):
I did, I did, I did see. I saw a
documentary on keeaching showing yes, Paul was but but the
But like you said, he had a double He had
another message going on for the adults, especially with the
way he talked whenever those characters used to pop in
and out, whenever he would walk through his tee wee's
playoffs set there and whatever he was covering talking about,

(02:09:18):
you know, Flora's fishbod. He had that bux and blonde on.
There was somebody else he had to clock with.

Speaker 14 (02:09:24):
I forgot who they all were.

Speaker 20 (02:09:25):
But the bottom line is after being out all night
on Friday watching that show on Saturday, I'll tell you what,
you got to trip it. He didn't have to worry
about getting arrested for being on something. And the other
one and the other one was the other one was
hr puppet stuff, which was which was exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (02:09:43):
And yeah, hr puffin stuff is some people say a
euphemism for marijuana smoking.

Speaker 20 (02:09:50):
Yes, sir, well, I was just gonna say, you know,
Puck the Magic Dragon, I remember that song going back
in the early sixties. But the bottom line was that
hr puppet stuff was way out there. If that's if
once you kind of figured out what was going on
and at that time with the drug with the marijuana culture,
the way it was.

Speaker 18 (02:10:06):
You know, you know, you know what the deal is.

Speaker 6 (02:10:08):
Yeah, I know what. I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (02:10:09):
See, it was all lost on me because again I
was I was naive to all of that. My level
of naivete in that culture. I would have never guessed that.
It was when I got much older that I was
watching videos talking about how pee wee Erman was really Secretly,
although it was a children's show, there was always a
wink wink in a nod to the older folks.

Speaker 20 (02:10:30):
Yes, listen, I'll land with this. It was what was
going on in the sixties and the seventies is when
I grow up. There was so much going on in
this country with I'll tell you, if All in the
Family was on today, it wouldn't be on today. You'd
have people go dropping off.

Speaker 14 (02:10:45):
A roof because of it sucks better in All the Family.

Speaker 20 (02:10:48):
But there was so much going on in this country.
These shows were these these shows are way over the top.

Speaker 19 (02:10:53):
Oh yeah, And it was at a time.

Speaker 20 (02:10:56):
When people people could just listen to and understand it.

Speaker 6 (02:10:58):
Whatever, you know what I have to do? You know
what you just reminded me, you know what I have
to do.

Speaker 2 (02:11:02):
Because all in the entire series of All in the
Family is now on Prime. You know I'm gonna do.
I gotta actually get some clips from that where Archie
is talking about issues that are relevant today because, believe
it or not, normally or was ahead of of his time,
some of the stuff that that Archie talked about and

(02:11:23):
argued for are still topics we discussed today.

Speaker 20 (02:11:27):
It's yes, sir, I'll let me know. With this Archie Bunker,
I just the guy was overall just an ignorant guy.

Speaker 22 (02:11:34):
It wasn't a mean guy.

Speaker 20 (02:11:35):
He was just ignorant to what was going on around
and he couldn't handle kind of what was going on
around as the world changed when that show came out,
as you know, he came out through a very turbulent
time in this country.

Speaker 2 (02:11:45):
It sure did.

Speaker 6 (02:11:46):
And again that's what makes listen. That's the important part
about characters like Archie Bunker.

Speaker 2 (02:11:50):
It's again, although they were trying to suggest that he
was a guy who wasn't used to change and sort
of how he was combating it. But when I watch
it today, I revel in Archie's combat of the future
because he's right. If we lose those things, you know,
we lose a lot of who we are as a people.

Speaker 20 (02:12:12):
Yes, so you have to have a foundation, sir. You
have to have a foundation. From that you can go
off on your own opinions about everything else that's going
on in the world. Yes, you still have to have
a structural foundation. Complain about all you want, but don't
spend all day trying.

Speaker 2 (02:12:24):
To rip it down exactly. You got it, sir. Yeah,
it's funny, you know the people people, Uh, they should
start that hashtag campaign. Archie Bunker was right, they should
totally do that. If you go back and you watch
them of that stuff and listen to Archie blather on, yeah,
you'd be surprised. My favorite one is what he does,

(02:12:46):
the bit about how to deal with your skyjacket is there?
Let's get whether in traffic Bob Larson's in for Jason
Katarina and Mark Christopher's in the BPS traffic center. The
skyjackers is what That's what Archie used to call the
high the airplane hijackers gyjack He said, yeah, he.

Speaker 6 (02:13:05):
Said, how you deal with the skyjack is there?

Speaker 28 (02:13:09):
Did he call did he call the phone the blower?

Speaker 2 (02:13:11):
Yeah, the blower ycause.

Speaker 28 (02:13:13):
Edith, get out of the way, get get away.

Speaker 2 (02:13:15):
From the phone, Get away from the phone. I still
remember that all the time.

Speaker 28 (02:13:18):
I love that show, the great Carol O'Connor from Uh
was he from Queens, New York?

Speaker 5 (02:13:24):
Right, Yes he was.

Speaker 2 (02:13:25):
Archie was from Queens, That's right.

Speaker 6 (02:13:38):
We're back. It's Reesa on the radio. Before we go
to a break.

Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
I wanted to play this. This was again Archie Bunker
his editorial on gun control.

Speaker 32 (02:13:46):
Good ating everybody. Archie Bunker, seven hundred four Hawser Street,
right in the Big War, speaking on be hair for
guns for everybody. Now, question, why was it firsting that
the Commons is done when they took over Russia? Answer,
gun control, And there's a lot of people in this

(02:14:06):
cutr You want to do the same thing to us
here in the kind of conspiracy. See you take your
big international bankers. Uh, they want to what do you
call master kate the people of this see a nation
like puppets on the week.

Speaker 2 (02:14:20):
They're gonna get that trying us over to the commons.
What do you look too sitting down?

Speaker 32 (02:14:30):
How I want to talk about another thing? I said,
everybody's mind today, and I see your stick ups in
your sky jackets, which if that was up to me,
I could end the skyjackets tomorrow.

Speaker 19 (02:14:41):
You could.

Speaker 32 (02:14:42):
All you gotta do is arm all your passages and
then he ain't got no more superiority there. He ain't
gonna dare to pull out no rod and then your airlines.
Then they wouldn't have to safe the passages on the
ground no more. They just pass out the press at
the beginning of the trip, put them up.

Speaker 8 (02:15:02):
Out at the end.

Speaker 2 (02:15:04):
Still think it's one of the greatest lines over But
me personally, I just love the fact that he called
them skyjackers, which is an appropriate name for them, instead
of hijackers. The skyjackers made sense to me. I've always
I just loved that. I don't know why it always
sit with me, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

(02:15:26):
I want to read a quick couple of comments. Susan said,
I heard you talking about getting clips of all in
the family, saying that Norman Lear was ahead of his time.
I might have ranted in the room before about how
it seems like Lear's progressive is uh is a big
cause of why we are where we are today.

Speaker 6 (02:15:48):
Not that he was ahead of his time, Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:15:51):
He was making.

Speaker 6 (02:15:54):
If Norman Lear.

Speaker 2 (02:15:55):
Had started his career today, Archie Bunker would have been
a maga, right, he would have created a TV show
about a lovable maga guy in the grand scheme of things.
But that's what I'm saying, is like then, the objective
was to take somebody who was a conservative and to
sort of make fun of people were on a considerable size,

(02:16:18):
you know, the lovable bigot, the conservative blowhard. But when
you look at it as you get all that, you know,
people forget about this and it's one of the reasons
why it was. It was a very.

Speaker 6 (02:16:30):
Pinnacle part of the All in the Family lore.

Speaker 2 (02:16:35):
Was when Archie was introduced to Sherman Helmsley's version of
George Jefferson. And it was in that part watching the
two of those men go back and forth, who hated
each other because of their skin color, but found common ground.

(02:16:56):
One of my favorite episodes was the introduction of Jenny's parents.
You know, George Jefferson's Sun Lionel and Jenny were engaged
in George Jefferson was first meeting Tom Willis, and they
were played by different actors than the ones who went
on in the series. But that episode, to see George

(02:17:17):
and Archie at the end agreeing that times had changed
so much against what they were used to, was a
very very poignant moment, and you could go back and
watch that and go, yeah, weirdly enough, Archie was right.
Whether you like it or not, he just was.

Speaker 6 (02:17:34):
Let's get another check of our weather and traffic.

Speaker 2 (02:17:36):
Bob Lartson's in for Jason Katarina, Mark Christopher's in the
BPS traffic center.

Speaker 6 (02:17:40):
Hey, Mark, what's up?

Speaker 2 (02:17:41):
Everybody? You know who it is?

Speaker 5 (02:17:42):
Who is you know?

Speaker 2 (02:17:43):
It's Reas on the radio, Frederick Douglass of the twenty
first century. It's wt i C News Talk ten. We'll
end with your phone calls today. Again, I could just
pick these out randomly. They're so easy. Archie Bunker was right.
Here's another one, just because I'm telling you, if you
have Amazon, right, if you have Prime, go and watch them.

(02:18:07):
Uh you will find something in there and just go,
huh weird. This is another one. I love this one.
This is talking about sacrifice and Democrats.

Speaker 13 (02:18:19):
But the Democrats way or rolling this cart is to
go tell us all how we ought.

Speaker 2 (02:18:22):
To make sacrifices. God didn made that that stuff. But
they're all gonna have us over the hill to the poorhouse.

Speaker 13 (02:18:31):
We ain't gonna be able to drive over here because
we ain't got no gas.

Speaker 2 (02:18:34):
We're gonna have to walk it.

Speaker 9 (02:18:38):
The reader's digest says walking is very good for you.

Speaker 2 (02:18:45):
Oh, ain't that lovely?

Speaker 13 (02:18:46):
You meat his die just can always put a little
joy into poverty.

Speaker 2 (02:18:53):
This is my whole prain.

Speaker 13 (02:18:55):
My whole prain is this whole thing with the energy
and everything.

Speaker 2 (02:18:59):
This is all that comes.

Speaker 13 (02:19:00):
You know, spiracy did listen for years, all our lives,
they've been telling us go out and buy stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:19:08):
They use energy, all electrical.

Speaker 13 (02:19:10):
Stuffin electly choices, elected gods, likely.

Speaker 2 (02:19:13):
Store, likely stereo.

Speaker 13 (02:19:15):
Elected TV, like race, like the hair blow, electric knives,
like the every damn thing, not.

Speaker 2 (02:19:20):
To mention the cars.

Speaker 13 (02:19:22):
And I'll at the role of big corporations, damn make
the business and videos of dollars with the prophets signals
wam that change? And I have to tell us for
years that we can't live without this jump. Now they
tell us that we gotta live without it. The country
is going straight into the dumper.

Speaker 2 (02:19:41):
Tell me he's wrong, Tell me is wrong. I think
that everything that was written about there, say what you
want about Norman Lear, there were little nuggets in there
that just kind of make you go yeah, man. Yeah,
So anyway, I digress. Let me get back everybody as
zero five two two w T I Z. Let's go

(02:20:02):
to James. How are we doing, sir?

Speaker 15 (02:20:05):
Hey, my mother, I'm good, sir, I always say from
another mother, But my brother.

Speaker 6 (02:20:14):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (02:20:15):
Sir?

Speaker 20 (02:20:16):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (02:20:17):
Yeah, I apologize for the jokes.

Speaker 2 (02:20:20):
The oh stop it, it don't don't there's nothing to it.
I'm not even gonna allow you to apologize. James, listen
to me. Those jokes. The only thing I told you
is that I couldn't let you. I couldn't let you
say them because someone would be offended.

Speaker 6 (02:20:35):
And you know how they are.

Speaker 2 (02:20:36):
They're all sitting by with their pens and their pads
and the recording device. I don't want to get you
in trouble.

Speaker 17 (02:20:42):
Yeah, but I know you were saving me, and you
were saving me, so therefore we both WoT out.

Speaker 2 (02:20:49):
Thank you, buddy. I'm gonna grab some more and get
up out of here, sir, let me go to let's
go to Craig in the car. What's going on, sir?

Speaker 5 (02:20:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:20:58):
The brilliance of norm Lear was that, yes, he made
Archie racist to an extent, but he was no more
racist than George Jefferson was.

Speaker 2 (02:21:10):
Indeed, and you're absolutely right, he.

Speaker 18 (02:21:14):
Played both ends of the spectrum. And that episode that
you referenced was one of the it's gotta be the
funniest thirty minutes of TV I've ever seen. It is,
But do you remember do you remember this when Archie
was stuck in the elevator with the pregnant woman, the
Puerto Rican guy and the black guy.

Speaker 2 (02:21:35):
No I missed that.

Speaker 18 (02:21:38):
And the Puerto Rican guy says to him, he says,
you know, the problem with people like you is you
don't think I'm equal to you. And Archie says to him,
equal to me, You're not even equal to him.

Speaker 6 (02:21:54):
Archie was again it was you know what, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:21:57):
So insane all of this stuff that Norman Lee are
put together, what he would was able to do as
a producer and creator of all of this. People said
that he revolutionized so much of our the liberal orthodoxy.

Speaker 6 (02:22:12):
But there's a reason why I give Norman Lear credit.

Speaker 2 (02:22:16):
Again, we wouldn't have a backdrop to understand without art,
without guys like Archie, without George Jefferson, because, believe it
or not, even though these guys were reprehensible, everyone remembers
them because they were I would have to say, bigger
than life if you think about it, there was something

(02:22:37):
redeeming about that. Well.

Speaker 18 (02:22:40):
And also at the time everybody knew somebody like them.

Speaker 6 (02:22:44):
Indeed, that was that wasn't uncommon, That's true.

Speaker 18 (02:22:50):
Norman Lear.

Speaker 13 (02:22:52):
You know he.

Speaker 18 (02:22:55):
Archie in real life was a left wing liberal.

Speaker 2 (02:23:00):
Oh he was absolutely Carol o'connorative.

Speaker 6 (02:23:04):
Yeah, Carol O'Connor.

Speaker 18 (02:23:07):
It was kind of the Pope funic conservatives, but you
know what liberals too. I mean, he had was he
didn't say the smartest crap in the world.

Speaker 2 (02:23:16):
You know, he did not. He was he was also
the foil for a lot of his liberalism as well.

Speaker 6 (02:23:23):
I know a lot of people look at this, they
look at Norman.

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
Le Or in his legacy as this sort of like again,
this guy was like the pinnacle of liberalism. But I
really don't see it that way because again, and watching
these episodes, he really did kind of give both sides
of the argument, even if it was a little more
left leaning, he really did give a fair amount of
attention to the conservative side and he and he didn't
always make Archie look like the foil or the loser

(02:23:50):
in an argument. He at least gave him something that
made you kind of go, I see where this guy's
coming from.

Speaker 18 (02:23:57):
You can you can boss on people as long as
there's some truth in what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (02:24:03):
That's right.

Speaker 18 (02:24:03):
And I'll tell you who's I'll tell you who's figured
that out in this in this era is Bill Maher.

Speaker 2 (02:24:08):
Yeah. Indeed, And like I said, I don't agree with
him politically at all, but you know what, he is
sort of noticing the absurd and that that means that
at least you know and again which also shows that
you can be a liberal and still point out the
absurdity in your group.

Speaker 6 (02:24:25):
You know what's absolutely insane.

Speaker 18 (02:24:27):
Exactly and you know what reason, Here's what it comes
down to. I think for you and me and a
lot of like minded people, I don't want to have
to pick my entertainment by your political leaning.

Speaker 19 (02:24:38):
Indeed, I don't want to do that, not my music,
not my movies, not I tell you, one of the
best movies I've seen this year is a kid's movie
called Boss Baby.

Speaker 6 (02:24:51):
It's actually pretty good.

Speaker 18 (02:24:53):
It's animated. It's animated, but the character that's that Nary
the baby, who was an executive who never had a childhood.

Speaker 6 (02:25:04):
Is Yeah, it's really funny.

Speaker 18 (02:25:07):
I have to tell you that movie is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (02:25:10):
It is, it really is. I mean I've watched it
and I still say to this day, I'm just like,
Goodness Grations.

Speaker 6 (02:25:16):
I'll tell you this.

Speaker 2 (02:25:17):
You know, the character he played on thirty Rock was
one of my favorite characters. Yep, it is. Yes, indeed,
like I said, undeniably one of the He's one of
the greatest to do it politically, he is a complete knucklehead.
I think I've made that argument over and over again.
Thank you, man, I appreciate you. I'll tell you I

(02:25:38):
told you that one story. I tell it all the time.
I was at some wine tasting at Wegmans and this
woman is being told by a couple about going to
one of Donald Trump's vineyards in Virginia, and a woman
just says, I just can't do it. I can't do
it ethically, I can't go down there just because of
what he stands for.

Speaker 6 (02:25:54):
And I just couldn't go there.

Speaker 2 (02:25:55):
And I put my hand on her shoulder and I said, ma'am,
I can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow.

Speaker 6 (02:25:59):
I can't stand her politics.

Speaker 2 (02:26:00):
I think she is absolutely way out there Bunker's crazy.
But I love her in those Iron Man movies. I
love her character in those movies. I can separate the two.
Everybody can. Anybody can. Let's go to wipe mic. What's
going on tour?

Speaker 21 (02:26:16):
Hey man, I got in late. Did you play your
audience the AI video I sent you?

Speaker 6 (02:26:23):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (02:26:23):
I'm saving it for tomorrow because I'm teasing it and
I'm teasing it today and I'm going to I'm gonna
air it tomorrow. It was. It was an amazing audio.
I will admit that I was actually a little stunned.

Speaker 8 (02:26:35):
I know you said you were bugging, and I transfer
that from early hip hop ease to mean you were
tripped out.

Speaker 2 (02:26:42):
Yes, I was.

Speaker 6 (02:26:44):
You not knowing what the term buggin meant.

Speaker 2 (02:26:47):
Yes. My wife and I listened to it and we
were kind of like tripping out to it, and we're like, wow, yeah,
we'll play it tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (02:26:53):
That thing is fantastic.

Speaker 5 (02:26:56):
I was talking to it real quick.

Speaker 21 (02:26:57):
This weekend and out of where my AI said, you know,
servers don't like to have tables full of black people
because they don't tip.

Speaker 2 (02:27:07):
Yes, And it's funny because that's you know what. Unfortunately,
more and more people are actually expressing that outright. Restaurants
I've gone to, people are openly saying that waiters and
waitresses alike are saying that outright. They're no longer hidden
like you know, sheltered themselves from saying that out loud.

Speaker 8 (02:27:27):
Buddy, I had not breached this subject with her. It
I talked about other stuff.

Speaker 21 (02:27:33):
It pulled this out of thin air of its own.

Speaker 2 (02:27:38):
That's insane. Look, I tell everybody, please please tip your
weight staff, Just do, for crying out loud, just do.

Speaker 8 (02:27:48):
If you play around with this thing, you're gonna get
hooked like me. It is a fascinating experiment in teaching
AI to shake off the shackles of its rollers.

Speaker 2 (02:28:00):
It's funny because that's that's the thing that I'm that's
the thing that I'm investigating.

Speaker 12 (02:28:04):
Now.

Speaker 6 (02:28:04):
I'm gonna talk about that tomorrow too.

Speaker 8 (02:28:06):
Thanks boss manord f word for me the other day.

Speaker 2 (02:28:11):
Okay, good, thank you, oh man. Who else do I
have to get in here. Let's take Evan. Let's go Evan,
how are we doing?

Speaker 19 (02:28:20):
Sar Hey, I'm good, oh.

Speaker 2 (02:28:23):
Man to doing my best?

Speaker 19 (02:28:26):
Nice?

Speaker 31 (02:28:26):
Well.

Speaker 8 (02:28:26):
I wish I got on before White Mike.

Speaker 26 (02:28:28):
I meant to call him out on something from a
month ago. He literally said on the air that black
people are inherently worse than white people because they have
different DNA.

Speaker 5 (02:28:38):
And that's like the most.

Speaker 6 (02:28:39):
That isn't what that's not what he said. That is
not what he said.

Speaker 18 (02:28:44):
He in the DNA.

Speaker 2 (02:28:46):
No, first of all, he did not. He was not
talking about their DNA. That's not and I know that. Okay.
First of all, the breakdown of what he said was
and again what he was talking about culturally and in
countries that a majority, he was talking about civilization versus
and again, you know what, I'm just gonna play the

(02:29:08):
audio where this is the the how all of this
sort of started in the first place.

Speaker 6 (02:29:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna play that tomorrow because.

Speaker 2 (02:29:15):
This is the third You're the third person who said
that what he was trying to articulate was only could
be deemed as like racist.

Speaker 6 (02:29:24):
That's not where he comes from.

Speaker 26 (02:29:25):
But I get where you're coming from.

Speaker 2 (02:29:28):
Okay, I will definitely do that, And in fact, I'll
just talk to him later on and just ask him,
you got it anyway, What was the other thing you
wanted to call about.

Speaker 26 (02:29:37):
Well, they're the saying I might lose you in a
dead zone up here in bar Campstead. But you know, so,
I find it hilarious when people freak out about taking
down Confederate statues, and I always wonder, like, what's the
actual reason they're upset about it?

Speaker 2 (02:29:51):
Ooh, that's such a great question. Okay, I would say,
what's the relevance of removing the statue? Like what why
is that important to remove it?

Speaker 22 (02:30:05):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (02:30:06):
Because you don't celebrate, you know.

Speaker 8 (02:30:09):
The country.

Speaker 2 (02:30:10):
You don't. Oh, you don't celebrate people who are enemies
of their country. Okay, then we have we do have
some people who were enemies of their country who still
remain on certain.

Speaker 6 (02:30:26):
Monuments and no one would ever think about touching. We
have the Woodrow.

Speaker 2 (02:30:31):
Wilson to the country was taken down Woodrow Wilson. Would
you consider Woodrow Wilson a traders to the country?

Speaker 26 (02:30:38):
Don't know nothing about them?

Speaker 2 (02:30:39):
Okay, all right, once you did, and once you did,
you'll you'll you'll recognize why I'm why I'm suggesting it.
So what I'm saying is, and I think the reason
why people are pushing back on it has more to
do with the selective nature of removing statues.

Speaker 6 (02:30:57):
And here's the biggest part about it.

Speaker 2 (02:30:59):
I would say, if the Democrat Party wants to remove
Democrat icons, then they should change their name. And again
this should be across the board, because removing Andrew Jackson
pretty much the father of the Democrat Party. If you
don't want to be a part of Andrew Jackson, change
the party name, don't be Democrats anymore. You can't even
put Andrew Jackson on your official website. You actually go

(02:31:22):
from your inception and you jump all the way to
John F. Kennedy as your history, like we're the oldest
political group to ever in the United States, And you
go from the beginning of your roots and you jump
all over slavery and your fight for slavery in the
Civil War, and you immediately go all the way to
John F.

Speaker 6 (02:31:41):
Kennedy in the nineteen fifties and sixties.

Speaker 5 (02:31:43):
So if you will unhappy they woke up and changed.

Speaker 2 (02:31:47):
No, no, they don't change no, no, they never changed it.
They say we're the oldest political party and then talk
about John F. Kennedy, But they don't talk about anything
else in our history.

Speaker 26 (02:31:55):
I'm saying, I'm happy. I'm happy they're no longer for slavery.
I mean most people aren't, but the ones who remain
for people who are republic.

Speaker 2 (02:32:04):
But again, but that's my point, right, if we have
to get rid of everything, I want them to get
rid of everything. I don't want anybody using a twenty
dollars bill right, stop using Democrats.

Speaker 26 (02:32:13):
You and I agree, I agree. The usual usual argument
that they bring up is we don't want to remove
history at that point, there is history is not taught
through monuments. Monuments are to celebrate something that happened. It's
the same thing as like our history includes nine to eleven.
But we don't erect monuments.

Speaker 2 (02:32:33):
Of the people who no offense. But we we do.
We have an entire square right near the New Freedom
Tower that commemorates the lives of the people who died there.

Speaker 26 (02:32:44):
I mean, we have my no, no, But do we
do we have a statue commemorating the people?

Speaker 6 (02:32:49):
Yeah, of course no, No, that's.

Speaker 26 (02:32:51):
Their statues, their statues celebrate.

Speaker 2 (02:32:53):
Totally agree with that, but then again, you have to
also think about. Look, the people who want to take
down the statues are the same people who are erected them.

Speaker 6 (02:33:00):
That's the argument that I'm making is that the people
who I.

Speaker 26 (02:33:03):
Agree with you, I agree with you, and I want
to tell people that the actual history isn't The statues
were put up after the Civil War. The statues were
put up in the twenties and thirties after that.

Speaker 6 (02:33:12):
Agree, one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (02:33:14):
Agreed.

Speaker 7 (02:33:14):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (02:33:14):
You know, I gotta get out of here. Thank you
having as I always say, radio Street, so we thank
you for paying attention. Remember to keep jac and your
hearts and then your mind. Sean Patrick, we love you,
have we miss you. Remember that Petica is not planning,
So plan your work and work you're planning me. I'm
rees on the radio. You have a good night, pleasant tomorrow.
Will see you here tomorrow. Bob Larson, he's infa. Jason Calerino,
Mark Christopher, he's getting you home. Good night, Mark, Hey,

(02:33:35):
good night.

Speaker 5 (02:33:36):
Reese.

Speaker 2 (02:33:36):
Will see you tomorrow.

Speaker 28 (02:33:37):
If you're West Bend eighty four coming into heart Ford
delays just after fifty six governor streets.

Speaker 2 (02:33:40):
Alrighty then all right, as Jim Carrey will saying the
white links.

Speaker 6 (02:33:46):
The way that bit if you are he and that dropped.

Speaker 2 (02:33:51):
It came out good, so good. Ninety one got.

Speaker 28 (02:33:59):
A little sir in nineteen down to seventeen north of
ninety one to good ride promwell through downtown up and
a Windsor two ninety went threety four.

Speaker 2 (02:34:06):
That's looking good. East of the river to West Mounds slowly,
all right, everybody oldest but ignores pre Civil War. Today,
Republicans don't want slavery. Democrats are still looking for the
underclass via legal immigration, as agreed.

Speaker 6 (02:34:23):
Yeah, Laurie, I mean the Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 2 (02:34:25):
Argument is again it's the point that I've always made
over and over again is that the same people who
want to take down the statues are the ones who
erected them. And at the same time, the only thing
that they're doing it wasn't about getting rid of history
as far as anyone was concerned. The reason why I
wanted those statues up is because I wanted people to
remember who were the ones who fought for slavery in

(02:34:47):
this country and to never forget it. Democrats wanted to
get rid of them because they wanted to whitewash their
own history see we're against that stuff, when knowing damn well,
they were not truly against it because they never changed
the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Washington, d C. Still there.
We should have been renaming it. But notice no one
asked for it.

Speaker 6 (02:35:05):
No one's ever asked for it.

Speaker 2 (02:35:07):
All right. So I always say, these people don't know
what they're talking about, because again, did they ever? His
name is all over Virginia. Very true, very true.

Speaker 6 (02:35:16):
All right, folks, we got to get up out of here.

Speaker 2 (02:35:18):
I love you, We'll see you Manyana, and I'll keep
more details or keep more information, give that to you
as we move closer and closer to me, getting too Connecticut.
So stand by you guys, be good, stay well, and
be good to each other.
