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

Speaker 2 (00:26):
The show is about to.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Style on the radio.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Turn it up, turn it up low, turn.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It upund that a dream come true.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Due to the nature of this program, discretion does not exist.
It's race on the radio right now on w T
I see News Talk ten eight.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Everybody? WHOA?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I think my boy's just cracked there?

Speaker 5 (01:03):
Laugh?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
What's going on? All you Scully wags?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Nutmega across the fruited plane?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Do you know what time it is?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
It's reached on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten
to eighty. Plenty of news, plenty of views to get
into today.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
As things just continue to keep.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Rolling on and on, Yeah, rolling.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Every day.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
It seems like there's something new, and I get it.
It's what's called the twenty four hour news cycle. It
would be nice if we could stick to something for
a little while, find out more details without having to
jump from place to place, and then the talk radio space,
if I can tell a little inside baseball has always

(01:55):
been make sure you're on this, make sure you do that.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Due nothing against the people who do that, I get it.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
They just don't want to miss an opportunity to really
make to make sort of eventful talk radio, appointment radio,
as it were. And I'm trying to do that in
my own unique way. Personally, when I look at some
of the stories, I say to myself, and I'm gonna
be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'll see it and I'll just go I'm gonna have
to talk about this, aren't I why?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Because it's what everyone's talking about. But I don't have
any interest. And the worst thing that I could do
is pretend to be interested.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
It shows it does not just to not to you.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
And some of you who know me well enough have
been here long enough, you'll recognize it.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
I don't think Rece is into this. Others just you know,
go along and get along. I'm noise in the background,
if you will. But me, I notice it. I'll be
looking at a story just going okay, let's make the
best of it.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
And I do. But this one, this one is particularly
interesting to me.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Because I'm a unique position and I don't want anybody
to get the.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Impression that I don't know it. I'm a black conservative.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
But most important, beyond being a black conservative, I don't
care that I'm a black conservative. I'm just reees. My
labels are about outside of me when people talk about me,
when they're describing me, Oh, he's a black conservative, this

(03:49):
that that.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Believe it or not.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Ask anyone people who know me, and this is kind
of reas. No one ever views them as like, that's
just Reese. Now there's Reese again. They all know this.
So what you are experiencing is me, not a political platform,
a platitude or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
The story about DC in particular.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Is something that I understand on a personal level.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Crime villainy the hood. I know it all.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
When we were growing up, my friends, we avoided it
like the plague. We were squares. No one ever thought
we would grow up to live some sort of gangsta lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I'll even go so far as to say this.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
When I wanted to be a hip hop MC back
in the days, everyone in the business said that our
music was too So.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I had a white A.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
And R guy, he's got Prenan Kinna, the guy who
hires the talent for the record label. He told me,
and I quote, you are not shooting enough in words
and slapping.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Enough w words in our music.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
And we explained to him that's not our lifestyle. And
his response to that was, that's not selling. What's selling
is shooting up the blacks and slapping the women. That's
what the kids in the hood want to hear, and
that's what we're selling them. And sure enough, that's what

(05:50):
the hood was purchasing. And these kids know it. You
know it too, especially those of you in the inner city.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know it too.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
You won't listen to the music, probably because you don't
understand it, or it's too fast for you, or singing
and rapping at the same time, and it's confusing to
hear with all of the weird bass and what's that
other auto tunes and.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
The high level pitching of weird sounds. I get it.
This music is garbage. By the way.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
You want to know, how you can tell of hip
hop music is garbage by the rate in which kids
are killing themselves. The music's so horrible they have to
take their own lives. That's how bad it is. Oh yeah,
I said it. But I love this topic, and I

(06:44):
love people pretending that they are concerned about what's happening
to them when it comes to the president of the
United States, but don't seem to give two scraps about
what they're doing to themselves when they're obvious bigotry and

(07:07):
hatred for those kids comes to fold. When it's when
they're face to face with talking about what it is
like to live in the inner city. You find out
who they truly are. Now, folks, I know they don't care.

(07:28):
I know these people on the left don't give a
damn about how many of these kids die. They never
show up the protest. You never see them walking down
the street of the hood singing Negro hymnals after a
violent crime happens with a gangbanger. No, they only come

(07:53):
into the neighborhood when they're allowed to. If an alleged
white person or a cop shoots a young black man,
then white folks are invited down to the barbecue. Come
on down, righty, come on down and protest with you.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
The news won't show up unless you're protesting.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
And then you mosey your butt on down there to
the neighborhood, one that you would normally roll up your
windows and lock your doors to drive through. In ten seconds,
you come on down there with your ran slices, pretending
to care.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Which side are you on?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Boy?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Which side are you on? Love it?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
I find it fascinating, But I live there and I'm sorry, lives.
You ain't gonna come on this program and tell me
what it's like to live in the hood. You never
been there, and you wouldn't go there. You wouldn't even visit.
Your black friends, your brown friends, your ethnic friends. They

(08:59):
live in your communities. They've left those war torn cities
to come live in the suburbs. Have you ever asked
some of your black and brown neighbors why they didn't
stay knee deep in the hood. That's probably because they
would turn around and tell you, are you crazy?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Them negroes and nuts. I'm sick and tired of my
kids doing their homework in the bathtub.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
You don't know anything about that life, but you'll do
anything to protect it as long as you get to
call the big orange, bad orange man bad. And good
on you. You found your foil. He's Donald Trump. He's
so much of your foil you are willing to embarrass
yourselves to make it about him instead of the lives

(09:51):
that are lost every day. But I also noticed something different.
I noticed something weird, and I went to go look
it up. I asked GROC to give me a list
of all of your protests White libs. I asked groc
to give me a give me a list of your
protests from January twentieth until today.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
And looking on this list that spans.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
From January twentieth all the way to the last protest
on the eleventh, black folks only show up here once,
maybe twice. With regards to DEI, you just protested DEI.

(10:40):
You didn't protest any violence in the streets. You didn't
protest any children who were murdered, kidnapped, harmed, drug addle streets,
hypodermic needles, fentanyl overdoses, none of it. You showed up
for none of it. Stuff happening in the inner city.

(11:02):
You didn't care until now. Now you got a new protest.
You're marching through DC, and what are you saying to
those children of DC. You're saying, I think it's wrong
for the President of the United States to take over
the police department. Crime is at a thirty year low.

(11:27):
Lead them black folks alone to handle their own business.
So what there were twelve thirteen year olds running around
with guns, carjacking federal officers, you know they did. So
what there were pregnant ladies with guns getting pulled on
them and their strollers.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Getting snatched because you know it did.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Who cares of their shootouts in broad daylight in the
inner city.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Because you know there is leave them people alone, big
evil Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Them black folks got business to tend two and they're
handling it on the streets. Who am I to stop
a young black man from shooting his neighbor.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I'm no tyrant.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
You're not impressing anybody with this. The people in those
communities are scared to death just because you found a
couple of morons to tell you that Donald Trump, if
he really cared about violence, he would have cared about
an attack on the Capitol on January sixth, some four

(12:42):
years ago.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
You got to be kidding me. You think what happened
at that building.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Is far more dire than the violence that happens in
that city on a year to year basis.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Let's go through the numbers.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
January sixth, If I remember this correctly, Ashley Babbitt shot
and killed.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Let me get this right.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Twenty twenty, one hundred and ninety eight homicides, sixty three
hundred violent crimes huh, carjackings one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Overall crime forty.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Thousand, twenty twenty one, two hundred and twenty six homicides.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Violent crime total seven thousand. It went up.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Carjackings went up also, four hundred. Overall crime total that
went up two forty three thousand. Twenty twenty two we
saw a slight decline. From twenty twenty six and twenty
twenty one, we got to two hundred and three. Wow,
but the violent crime total went up from seven thousand

(13:55):
to seventy three to fifty, and the carjackings went up
two from four hundred to four hundred and fifty. Overall
crime total that skyrocketed too, went from forty three thousand
to forty five thousand.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Anybody still thinking this.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
As bad as a January sixth come on, explain it
to me, anyone, anyone. And then we saw a sharp
decline out of nowhere. In twenty twenty three. We saw
an overall number of ninety one hundred violent crimes in
twenty twenty three. By the way, in twenty twenty two

(14:35):
that went down to two hundred and three. The next
year skyrocketed to two hundred and seventy four homicides. The
overall crime total went from forty five thousand to twenty
twenty two to fifty six thousand, the next year. You guys,
sit up here and tell me that January sixth was
worse than all of that.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Spare me.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
You guys have got to be kidding yourselves, and you
want to hear the worst part, because when we come back,
I'm gonna read all of these totals. I need to
go through all of them. These new numbers that I
just grabbed, these are crazy. These are crazy numbers, crazy numbers.
I got audio sound bites to boot, but I just
want to make sure that I make this clear, this

(15:21):
part clear. The numbers that I just cited. Think about it.
Twenty twenty one, ninety eight homicides twenty twenty one, two
hundred and twenty six, down in twenty twenty two to
two hundred and three, back up to two hundred and
seventy four in twenty twenty three. That's the highest of
all four of those years. We went from forty thousand

(15:42):
and twenty twenty in the crime totals all the way
up to fifty six thousand and twenty twenty three. With
all of those numbers. Now here's the crazy part, folks,
The crazy part. Can't wait to read this one in
twenty twenty or following twenty twenty, after the George Floyd protests,

(16:04):
some police departments, including the Metropolitan Police Department in DC,
reportedly redefined or downgraded certain crimes e g. Reclassifying aggravated
assaults as simple assaults, which are treated as non violent misdemeanors.
That was after twenty twenty, and the numbers still rose

(16:30):
to astronomical levels. Spare me your thirty percent decline of crime.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
You're all liars, every one of you.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
But stand by because when we get back, I have
so much more to this caper, so much more to
this nonsense, and plus a message to you liberals, those
of you in my chat room, with those of you
who call on the show, you're the worst kind of liars,
and you're not allowed back here until you apologize. Because

(17:10):
when we come back and I play these audio sound bites,
you know the ones that you guys keep citing, the
news sources that you keep citing, Well, we're gonna play
those exact individuals, you know, the ones that you trust
telling you things that go completely against everything you tried.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
To suggest on this show yesterday.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
And you're not allowed back here until you recognize that
you're a bunch of fibbers, disingenuous liars and apologize. You
don't want to miss the next break because I'm gonna
play all of the audio for you, and if you're
watching online you'll see it as well. You guys know

(17:50):
nothing about this, nor are you doing your research. You
are lazy. But that's okay. I'm a workhorse. I do
this job perfectly, at least in my estimation. So stand
by go nowhere. It's Resna Radio on WTIC News Talk

(18:12):
ten eighty. All right, we got plenty of news and
plenty of views. We are sticking with the DC subject. Also,
we're gonna have John Debarrow's candidate for the fifth district
here in Connecticut. We're gonna have him on a little bit.
He just texted me. I should have texted him beforehand.
He's gonna be back here. We're gonna talk about this
whole thing about the He is from Waterbury, and he

(18:33):
knows exactly what I'm talking about here. As an African American,
a black man, a conservative, he knows exactly what I'm
talking about. He can identify this in a weird way.
This will be like an echo chamber between he and I.
We will talk to him at about three thirty, so
stand by for that. I'm also looking at Fox News.
Bill Barr is on the program with America Reports right now.

(18:55):
And I've got a new update in the Project Veritas video.
If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out.
Go to Project Veritas's YouTube page. He can watch the
new installment involving Bill barr And this one is exactly
what I thought it was. This whole conversation with Fanny Willis,
it goes one step further. It turns out that this woman,
Patrio Patricia Leelis, who is the subject of the Project

(19:19):
Veritas piece, had a burner phone for not just Fanny Willis,
she also had a.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Burner phone for her paramore, Nathan.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Wade, more detailed in the ongoing saga of Willis and Wade.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yeah, it's been a while since I've done that anyway,
so apparently they're back in the fold. We'll get into
that a little bit. So let's get back to this
subject about the DC crime. And this is what I
mean when I say certain individuals have to apologize as
they scream and holler about it's this, it's this, it's that,

(20:09):
and then it turns out to be not those things,
and they don't even have the decency to say I
was wrong.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Reese, you would now even have to say I was right.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
I reject that you shouldn't say I was right, just
say you were wrong, you made a mistake. I do
when I'm wrong. I say it all the time, Hey,
I got it wrong. In fact, I take pride in
it when I get it wrong. It lets me know
that I have to work harder to make sure that
I don't get it wrong again.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I take it personal. I do. I just do. But
what do I mean?

Speaker 4 (20:42):
I'm gonna have to call out some people Donald you Doo,
but definitely Tim allegedly from Hampden. I gotta call him out,
and he could get mad. I don't care. He could
be mad all day. The point is is that he
called here yesterday saying that crime is at a thirty
year low. I mean, sorry, now thirty to thirty percent lower.

(21:04):
I don't know who cares. The point is it's not
I already gave it to numbers. But I want to
go one step further. I want to go one step further.
You see, I am not the type of conservative that
uses liberals to make my point. I already know what

(21:27):
the facts are. I use the sources that they support,
the ones that they run to.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Because democracy dies in darkness.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
I go to them, and I go to them when
they're reporting unprovoked, when they're just doing stories, when they're
not reacting to Donald Trump or conservatives. They have a
tendency to tell the truth. They just report. They're not
responding to anything. They just do the reporting they're supposed
to do. We'll get to that in a second. Stand by. Well,

(22:04):
let's go to a couple of people. Did you know
that in DC and Maryland you're not allowed to go
into the grocery store called Giant with a bag that
is bigger than fourteen inches.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Let's let them tell the story.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
I was starting today at twelve Giant grocery stores in
DC and Maryland. If you have a bag over fourteen inches,
you cannot take it inside the store. So what does
that look like. Here's a backpack fourteen inches.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
This one can't go in.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Also, if you're.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
Under eighteen years old, you cannot go into the store
after six pm without an adult. Giant store leaders say
it is all because of thieves and shoppers. We spoke
to say all these new rules, these are a small.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Price to pay. It's a private business.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
They can set their own rules.

Speaker 9 (22:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
If you don't like it, shop somewhere else.

Speaker 10 (22:54):
It would also keep prices down for their for us
as a.

Speaker 11 (22:57):
Consumer, for anything networks, if it makes anything better for
the community, and if it works for the kids to
keep the kids from coming in, I.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Think because you should teach the kids not to deeal.

Speaker 11 (23:11):
It's unfortunate because apparently a lot of fest has been
happening and.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
That's the reason why. So they got to do something.

Speaker 11 (23:18):
Otherwise we won't have a giant.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's right, they won't have a giant.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
But you know what, it's the news media that's reporting
that this crime in DC is down thirty percent.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
They're the ones saying that. Right, Well, let's go to
that same media. Let's go to ABC News. Is Kyra Phillips.
This is her talking about the rhetoric about crime being
down in DC and what the reality is for people
like her and.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
The co workers.

Speaker 12 (23:51):
We've been talking so much about the numbers, and yeah,
usually that's how you play devil's advocate, as you talk about,
oh well, stats say crime is down. However, I can
tell you firsthand here in downtown DC where we work,
right here around our bureau. Just in the past six months,
you know, there were two people shot. One person died
literally two blocks down here from the bureau.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
It was within the last.

Speaker 12 (24:14):
Two years that I actually was jumped walking just two
blocks down from here.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
And then just this morning.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
She got jumped. Kyra Phillips got jumped two blocks away
from her job.

Speaker 12 (24:26):
One of my coworkers said her car was stolen a
block away from the bureau. So we can talk about
the numbers going down, but crime is happening every single
day because we're all experiencing at firsthand while working and
living down here.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, they're working and living down there where it's happening.
And it's not like other people aren't expressing this as well.
On Morning Joke with Scarborough and Mika Brzinsky, even Morning Joke.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Is talking about how quietly.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Liberals in DC are really applauding Donald Trump for what
he did.

Speaker 13 (25:09):
You know, the people that are cheering this on privately
are not like right wing Republicans, are not maga people.
A lot of our friends are in the media, and
also Democrats that worked on Joe Biden's campaign, that worked
on other campaigns that are saying, yeah, I'd like to
feel safe walking around this city. If the federal government

(25:31):
can be a positive partner in keeping the street safe
while again forming a partnership with the DC police and
not taking over, then I at least the people I've
spoken with that live in DC day in, day out
see this as a positive step.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah, look at that, even liberals. But Morning Joke even
went one step further. Live on the air Morning Jokes
Scarborough he actually read a text message that he got
from a very liberal friend who wanted to remain anonymous,
or at least Joe Scarborough decided to make him anonymous.

(26:13):
Listen to what he said.

Speaker 13 (26:14):
I want to review a text from someone who I
won't say their name, but we'll just say that they're
very liberal. And he says, this may sound controversial, but
I'm not totally opposed to Trump's National Guard move in DC.
I know he's doing it for politics, but crime remains rampant.

(26:37):
I've had too many friends carjacked, shot at. None of
us will walk more than three blocks after eight pm.
Thirteen year olds are committing many of these crimes. Quite
a change from the decade ago when things were much calmer. Well,
that actually sounds like the DC that I lived in
when I lived a block behind the Supreme Court.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
So all of this flipping out talking about, ah, it's
nice down, the crime is down. People are now saying that, look, man,
say what you want, but this is not one of
those things I want to jump on. I know I
hate Trump and I'm usually knee jerking my reaction to
everything that he does. But truth be told, it's it's

(27:19):
battle him out here.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's better.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
And people who are six seven eight hours away are
on talk shows talking about, Yeah, I know what I'm
talking about. Never been in the hood, won't go in
the hood, refuse the hood, act like the hood's not there,
can't even find it on a map. If their car
had to go through the hood to get to a destination,
they would go no alternate route. Please, they know it.

(27:45):
Spare me, but I want to go one step further.
Benny Johnson just recently today was that the White House
Press Briefing. He was the first person ask a question
to Caroline Levitt. He even told his own harrowing story
about how his home was firebombed with his infant child inside.

(28:08):
Now a police and the fire Department had to save
his infant child's life. And Caroline Levitt responded to people
and naysayers who say that there is no violent crime
or the violent crime in DC has gone down, and
Caroline Levitt, as only she could do, caught the Washington

(28:30):
Post in its own nonsense. You see today they were
reporting crime is down, But what were they reporting.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
In May of last year. Caroline Levitt tells us.

Speaker 8 (28:42):
There have been unfortunately far too many victims of crime
in this city. And I know the majority of residents
in the District of Columbia agree with you. In fact,
a new poll from the Washington Post I was reading
this morning. This was released in May of twenty twenty four.
So it's quite funny how many of you in the
media agreed with that's what the president was saying yesterday.
But now once the president says it, many of you

(29:04):
are disagreeing with him. But this poll released by the
Washington Post found that sixty five percent of district residents
think crime is an extremely serious or a very serious problem.
And this was up from fifty six percent last year.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
So with all due respect, spare me you guys, you
look silly. Just apologize, Just say that You jumped on
the bandwagon because your favorite news anchor told you do,
and you thought you were gonna catch me out there,
but you can't. You always caught flat footed. I'm two

(29:43):
steps ahead of you, and if i'm not the next day,
I've got your literally, i've got you dead to write.
You don't know what you're talking about, but don't worry.
It's not over. I'm going to bury your head in
it when we come back. You guys have always been
wrong on this stuff because it's my job to be right.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Don't go anywhere. You stay right there. Yeah, you know
who I'm talking to. We'll be back at threesa on
the radio on WTIC Newstock ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Listen to wtiiced News Talk ten eighty on the free
Honyssey app download, and like WTIIC today for alerts on
special programming.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I'd like to give you some numbers if I could.
These are the numbers from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty.
The subject is homicides in DC between twenty nineteen and
twenty twenty. Now I know that has nothing to do

(30:45):
and has no bearing on what the homicides are in
twenty twenty five. We're only in August. But if you
need those numbers, by the way, I will give them
because I want to be fair here. In the year
twenty twenty five, year to date, we have ninety nine homicides.
Violent crimes are one thousand, five hundred and eighty eight.

(31:08):
They're as far as carjackings, they are between one hundred
and eighty and one ninety and the overall crime total
at this point year to date is twelve than three
hundred and ten. We do know that they are fudging
the numbers because we just had a command or suspended
for just that. So these numbers that they're saying incredibly

(31:31):
low also take into account that we know that after
twenty twenty, some police departments, including the Metropolitan Police Department
the DC Police Department, redefined or downgraded certain violent crimes.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
We know that to be a fact.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
They say that the third District downgraded offenses, making the
numbers appear better. Amid claims of such by the police
union that were to declines like twenty eight to thirty
four percent in the district, they were considered implausible. Such
manipulations are alleged to stem from pressure to show progress
amid political scrutiny increase under reporting by victims and businesses.

(32:20):
That is a national issue, but in DC it is
quite prominent. That's why these numbers have gone down. But
I want to go back to this thing homicides twenty
nineteen and twenty twenty, just to show you exactly how
callous these liberals are, especially in white ones. The black

(32:44):
on white.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Level of crime.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Were six homicides one point sixty five percent of all.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
That's black on white crimes.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
White on black crimes were three in those two years,
point seventy five percent of all homicides other combinations meaning
you know, Asian, Pacific islander and all that other stuff,
it was six point four nine percent twenty one homicides
in all based upon multiple races killing each other. White

(33:20):
on white murder in DC point zero one percent with
a homicide rate of zero the black owned black crime
out of three hundred and forty one three hundred and
eleven twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, that was a percentage

(33:44):
of ninety one point one percent. Again, ninety one point
one percent were black on black crimes in DC. What
are you downplaying? I'll tell you what you're downplaying. You're

(34:06):
downplaying the obvious. I know what you're trying to say.
Because I've talked to so called black liberals too, and
they have no problem with black people killing themselves, not
a one. You won't see any protests for it. You
won't see them arguing about it. You won't see them

(34:27):
trying to tamp it down. You'll only see folks showing
up at Washington or showing up at city halls in
and around, asking for more money to stop a problem
that they never stop and don't know how to stop
because they don't confront the problem. All of you have
decided that you are going to cure breast cancer by

(34:49):
becoming pediatrists. Please spare me, Please spare me. I'm not impressed.
I won't be impressed. And this is something that I
know personally. This is the hood, folks, that's the way
it is. Please don't tell me that you care. I

(35:10):
know you don't. You may be one of them soft
spoken internet cars. I think it's messed up what's happening
in the inner city. Send but you don't get between
those victims and those bullets.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
You never will.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
You'll get yourself arrested to get your strawberries and you
in your smoothies. You'll get arrested to save people, to
pick your cotton and clean your toilets. But I ain't
never seen you get arrested to stop the violence in
the inner city ever, and you won't. So I don't

(35:52):
care how upset you are. I don't care what you
rage about and call me names. You and I both
know it's true. I run a higher risk of being
shot at than you do. And the only reason why
is because I do a segment called Negro nonsense, because
I call it as it is. You guys will never

(36:16):
ever stand up for any of those kids that are
getting shot and killed ever, So please don't pour me.
Let's get to our WTIC newsroom. John Silver's there and
we'll be back. Don't go anywhere reason the radio is back.
We don't fear anything here. I love you guys.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Stay tuned Greece on the radio, making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now until a t I see news talk to eighty.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
I gotta get a new chair. This thing is driving
me up the wall every time I'm sitting there. I
gotta screwed it back up. And all this other stuff.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
I got people in the chat room asking the question
if I'm authentically from.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
The hood, he ain't never been on in the hood.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Yeah, okay, you don't know where I've ever been.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
You don't know where I've ever been. You don't know
where I am.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
You'll know who I work with, talk with, hang out with,
nothing at all. You couldn't possibly know. But all this
question about has he ever hung out in the hood? Timmy,
we had a meet and greet in a nice neighborhood.
You wouldn't even show up to that because you was shook,

(37:34):
as they say, in the hood. You could have showed up.
You could have showed up, but you didn't. There goes that.
Let's get in some headlines and then I'll get some calls.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
All right.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
What's what is becoming a growing trend in Connecticut? Well,
this one surprised me.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Folks. Millionaires are renting.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yep, they're renting instead of buying, and it's becoming more
popular for connecticuts wealthy.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
According to data from the US Census Bureau.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
In twenty twenty three, more than nine percent of Connecticut
households with an income of above seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars are renting. That's up from twenty eighteen, when
just about seven percent of Connecticut households. We're in the
income group that chose to rent rather than buy. When

(38:33):
the squeeze of the historically low housing inventory impacts wealthy shoppers,
they have more eff flexibility to be patient with the
housing market. Luxury rentals can provide flexibility for those looking
for their perfect Connecticut home. I am not wealthy, and
I will not be renting your although there is one
place that we're looking at that's fully furnished, and it's

(38:55):
really really big, and it's a lot of money. I'm
considering it. I'm considered it's a considerable money. It's up
there with New York.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
I'm considering it.

Speaker 4 (39:07):
Also in the news, this sounds like a News at
eleven story. It asked the question, can the air conditioning
in your home really make you sick? If an air
conditioning system malfunctions or isn't properly maintained, it can become
contaminated with infectious microbes.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
This is according to a study in the website.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Study finds this can turn your AC unit into a
potential source of numerous airborne infections, raging from the common
cold to pneumonia and properly maintain AC units can harbor bacteria, fungi,
and viruses, turning them into potential sources of infections like
fungal lung disease and stomach flu. They said it's sick.

(39:54):
The sick building syndrome symptoms like headaches, cough, and fatigue
occurs more often in people working long hours in poorly
maintained air conditioned spaces. Legionella bacteria in contaminated AC water
systems can cause severe, potential life.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Threatening Legionaire's disease.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Regularly cleaning and servicing of AC systems can reduce the
risk of airborne infections and can help prevent the spread
of some viruses, including COVID. Of all things, I'm not
gonna lie, this is probably one of the weirdest things
with me about AC's. I will not drive with the
AC on in my car, and when I'm made to,

(40:31):
I have to keep the window open because the AC
makes me sleep. I don't know if anybody else has that,
you know, ailment, or if it affects you in that way.
But there's something in the AC. I don't know if
it's free on. I don't know what it is, but
something about that cold air makes me sleepy.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
I don't understand why it is, but it does.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
So it's always the ac not just cold, are just
the acre's me tired. More than six years after the
Federal Aviation Administration approved commercial drone deliveries to homes, the
service has been confined to a few suburbs in rural areas,

(41:17):
but by next summer, Walmart and Wing, a drone company
owned by the Google parent company known as Alphabet, are
expecting to expand to one hundred Walmart stores in Atlanta, Charlotte,
North Carolina, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa, Florida. They think that
this will increase so this will actually cause people.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
To start ordering these drones to their homes.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
And I don't know if you've heard stories about this,
like people were shooting them down out of the sky
in some places. Why they would do this more in
Texas where people are more prone to do that, I
don't know, but this could be coming. If you want
to answer this, would you order something that was delivered
by drone to your house? I mean, I think it's
something you have to do at least once to experience it, right,

(42:07):
I mean, it just makes sense. I'm a big drone guy,
I'm gonna buy my next drone at a pawn shop
because the relatively cheaper and you can still get a warranty.
But there's this one drone that I got my eyes on.
It's just a little pricey. I just can't justify the price.
But I'm a big drone guy, Rob Roland. Are you
in the drones at all?

Speaker 5 (42:28):
Now?

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (42:28):
I love kites, so I love like things that you
can fly up in the air, Like I love kites
because you have to control them.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
With the wind.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
So that's, you know, kind of a talent and I'm
really really good at it. I can get a kite
a good four or five hundred feet in the air.

Speaker 14 (42:41):
I like watching people do the drones with with drones,
but yeah, I don't like personally doing it myself.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
I want to do to hold the one with.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
You know, they have a sport where you can get
the drone to go through all of the obstacle courses.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Have you ever seen that?

Speaker 3 (42:57):
No, I've seen some of the stuff that the military
used like.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
With Yes, those are cool too.

Speaker 14 (43:03):
Yeah, that's that's that's wow that they are really making
it in there, like trying to attract the top video
game piece to operate them.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Yeah, those kids who are in there.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
There's this thing in Florida where they have these sort
of like tracks that you can go through. It's like
a whole obstacle course, and the guys gotta wear like
goggles or like a headset to actually navigate through the
certain thing. It's almost like the Westminster Dog Show, but
this your drone going through all of it, all of
the obstacles, and they go through fast.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
You gotta watch the videos online. They're incredible. It's just
like Jee's.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
I didn't do that, but it takes you know, you
gotta be a skilled aviator, I guess super trade.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
I always find it fascinating, but that's why. That's the
reason why I love drones so much.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
Anyway, And with that, let's go to the stupidest thing
I've read today.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Yes, you do could very well be the stupidest person
on the face of the earth.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
As if it wasn't annoying enough to have to hear
stories about Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell leaving the country.
In fact, we hear more about them not living in
the United States than we did what they were here.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
When Ellen was going through her whole scandal about.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
Her, you know, former cohorts or people who worked for her,
condemning her. She was absolutely quiet. Then she goes off
to England. Can't stop hearing about it. Rosie o'donald's same case.
Nobody heard anything about her. She goes to Ireland. Now
I've got to see her every day. Well, looks like
someone else, another comedian, and will finally be joining that
brood of leaving America to go to Europe, where it's

(44:44):
becoming harder and harder to actually have.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Free speech, which is weird.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Jimmy Kimmel from Jimmy Kimmel Live said to his ex
girlfriend Sarah Silverman on her podcast that he has now
dual citizenship in Italy, of all places, he was able
to track his roots to Italy, which is weird enough
that in order to become a dual citizen you have
to track your heritage there, but he did, and he

(45:11):
was able to track his relatives all the way back
to the eighteen hundreds of the late eighteen hundreds, and
so now he has dual citizenship and says that he
is going to possibly be returning there after his twenty
two to twenty three year stint on ABC doing Jimmy
Kimmel Live.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
God bless you. If you gotta leave, just leave.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
You know, if you have to tell people that you're going,
no one cares. Like if you have to announce that
you're leaving, it's no one cares. When you leave, everybody
should be like, hey, where are you going, But when
you have to announce it to everybody's in the room,
it meant nobody cared in the first place.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
So, you know, Jimmy, I used to love the guy,
but you know he's gone. He's moved on, you know,
as it goes, and too bad.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
Anyway, back to the phones, let's go eighteen zero five
two two de WT.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
I see what's going on?

Speaker 15 (45:57):
Mark, Oh wow, Jimmy Kimmel. He's gonna hear the word
Finocchio a lot, and they're not that woke out here.
I don't know if he thinks he's gonna blend.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
No, he will not. He will not.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
Where's he gonna go in Italy?

Speaker 4 (46:15):
I don't know, but apparently he's he has set sales.
He said he doesn't know when the other shoe is
gonna drop and the show is gonna be canceled, which
he says, is tantam ount to him being silent, So
then he'll have to move. So he's gonna move his
own family to Italy. God bless him.

Speaker 15 (46:31):
A Frank from Woodbridge. If you're listening, he can put
on black Faith and go to Sicily.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
That's funny because he's on the line too.

Speaker 5 (46:40):
Hey, can I.

Speaker 9 (46:40):
Put a period on your last hour subject?

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (46:43):
I want everybody to remember this.

Speaker 15 (46:45):
So when you hear Governor ned Lamont or Senator Murphy
or Bloomin Dollar now we're hearing in DC, because they
pretty much mimic us when you hear numbers provided about crimes,
they are not providing the crimes from juve and ile delinquents. Indeed,
So I posted on Mark from West Hartford five years ago.

(47:06):
I got friends in the judicial system and we had
a conversation about that, and I said, what are you
talking about? So I put the two documentaries to Policies are a.

Speaker 16 (47:14):
Great region union.

Speaker 15 (47:17):
You've talked about it before in the radio, but it's
worth repeating and it shows you right here the policies
of Connecticut. I'll read the prop sentence of just the confidentially,
part of confidentiality, part of court records it says all
records of cases of juvenile matters, including delinquency proceedings, shall
be confidential and for the use of the court juvenile

(47:40):
matters and shall not be disclosed. So there's no way
these politicians have these numbers. And as far as like
in what they count at delinquent in Connecticut, you know,
we're it runs the gamut.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
It's bad stuff.

Speaker 15 (47:56):
It's depth, vandalism, assault, sexual assault. And then let's say
they go on to murder, arts and everything. Yeah, they'll
be they'll be tried as an adult, but it still
won't be counted because.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
They're a juvenile.

Speaker 15 (48:09):
Then the other part of the policy that I put
up is when they turn eighteen, and let's say it's
not hardcore felon, he's like murdered, but it is cart
theft and assault, right and some other and some other felony.
You'll see where they're rased e Sponge Annali and you'll
see a turn in there. It says as though they
never existed.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 15 (48:30):
When you see that sentence, you're like, oh my god,
God bless you.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
And this is just like Richard Baron.

Speaker 15 (48:36):
Richard Barrington is the guy that killed Bobby Garden, that's
what happened in his case, shows up at court to
eighteen prosecuted defense attorney.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
They all got to say he didn't have a prior
record because they expunged it.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Indeed, that's exactly right. So yeah, these numbers and everybody knows.
I'll even go so far as this one.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
They say broader data integrity and participation issues. The FBI
Uniform Crime Report Program is voluntary, and gaps in submission
of major cities like DC occasionally provide incomplete data, create
unknowable data gaps. Analysts note no widespread evidence of fraud,

(49:16):
but these systemic issues, combined with local policies restricting police
pursuits and responses, have lowered morale and potentially reduced documented
incidents indirectly contributed contributing to reported declines.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
So they all play a role in all of this.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
It's like the objective of DC because again it's a
major city, it's a tourist city. You have to fudge
the numbers in these cities because if the numbers stay high,
and if you do the reporting you're supposed to what
happens You have a declining tourism rate. And I don't
care where you are or where you've been. I tell

(49:58):
people go watch the MOVI movie The Paper. Are you
familiar with that movie?

Speaker 15 (50:02):
You gotta know it a long time movie.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Okay, let me tell you who stars in this film.
That old oh man, it's even older than that, The Paper.
The Paper is directed by Ron Howard. It stars Michael Keaton,
Marissa Tomay, Randy Quaid, Robert Duval, Glenn Close. And I
know I'm missing probably one or two people outside of that.
Oh uh, Gwyneth Paltrow's dad, I can't remember. He's in

(50:28):
the opening of the film. But it's a movie called
The Paper. We're talking about these two kids who got
accused of killing two mob bosses. Uh, and Michael Keaton's
character is trying to find out whether or not the
kids really did it. But the last line in the
movie is my favorite part of the movie. He goes,
you gotta solve this crime as fast as possible because

(50:49):
the most important thing to the mayor are tourism numbers.
And that's everywhere everywhere you go, it's tourism numbers. And
if people aren't touring your city because of crime, you've
got to fudge the numbers.

Speaker 17 (51:06):
Indeed, you know.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
The word you're I notice you're using it a lot more.
I've been using it for years.

Speaker 15 (51:11):
What's that word manufactured?

Speaker 5 (51:13):
Yes, it's just yeah.

Speaker 16 (51:15):
It just seems to come into play with everything, doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Indeed, yeah, it's it's it's a constant theme. Thank you,
boss man, I appreciate you. Uh, let's go to freak
Frankie and Woodbridge. What's going on, sir?

Speaker 17 (51:27):
You know it's funny you mentioned that fifty years ago
things were different in Italian family. I had to get
permission from her father before I could marry her. Dank
and yeah. And I went to the house Saturday morning,
and I had a bad feeling. No, not that he
wasn't going to say yes. So I walked in. He
was Frank, what can I do for you? I want
to marry your daughter? Yeah, you can marry my daughter. Frank,

(51:47):
give up Cicily.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
That's the price you pay, Frank, when you say hold on,
give up Cicily, What do you mean?

Speaker 17 (51:54):
I could never live there again? WHOA as long as
as long as him and his wife are alive and
her mother still life. She's ninety eight, My mother's one
hundred and three. This woman's gonna love to be two.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Hundred years old.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
Hey, I will tell you this, speaking of which I have,
I've got a story similar to that. I'm not going
to I'm not going to divulge which wife it was,
but this really happened. I was offered sixty thousand dollars not.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
To marry one of my wives from her parents. Oh
that's a day Roland, You're awful. What do you mean
you would have took that?

Speaker 18 (52:29):
Yeah, sixty sixty bands, sixty thousand dollars, you said, live
your life, don't do what you gotta do, but to
go marry my daughter sixty thousand and this.

Speaker 17 (52:40):
Day and age were divorced. I don't know if I
would have made.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
That deal with would you have taken it? Hold on?

Speaker 4 (52:44):
Are you saying if you were in my position you
would have taken the money?

Speaker 17 (52:48):
Oh? No, not If I love this I'm saying today,
in today's day in age, if I was going to
get married today and her father said you have to
give up, I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Yeah today you would, and of course not, but okay,
But but I would say, making eighty five, would you
have taken any money not to marry your wife? Knowing
your your relationship at this at this point.

Speaker 17 (53:09):
Who offered the money to her father?

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Yeah? Your father?

Speaker 17 (53:12):
Oh no, then then I would have married her. I'm
not going to marry a girl.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Oh okay, so yes, he said, well yours said yeah,
I know, he said yes, But he said the caveat
was you couldn't live in Sicily. I don't know you, Like,
if it was somebody who had told me, like at
the time, like I couldn't live in New York at
the time, I would have said no, because my career
really hinged on being in New York, right, So it
was like I gotta you know, I gotta leave New York,

(53:39):
and then my dreams would have been shot.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Probably not.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
But if he'd ha said you can't live in New
York here sixty thousand.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Yeah, I'd have been out of there. I'd have lived
in Connecticut.

Speaker 17 (53:49):
The one day, though I always thought of it. I'd
like to take you Roseanne Rolling his wife, Mark from
West Harbor, and Rudy Joe. I like to take all
of you back to Sicily one day.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
I would love to go. Don't get me started. Don't
get me some did you.

Speaker 17 (54:03):
I'm not saying this because I was born there. It's
one of the most Oh I.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
Know it listening. You don't have to tell me. You
don't have to tell me.

Speaker 17 (54:10):
Building a bridge. Yeah, it was supposed to happen fifty
years ago. They finally got the word. I don't know
where that bridge. Are trying to think where that they're
gonna build a bridge to? I love to take.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Let me let me ask you this before before we go.

Speaker 4 (54:24):
So I don't know if you if you're big that
big on on movies, but the last Equalizer film with
Denzel Washington, Equalizer three, was filmed in a town called Palermo. Okay,
it's nothing but like all of these like villages inside
the mountain practically, and it's all stairways.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Have you ever been there?

Speaker 17 (54:46):
Oh? Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Oh man, I'm telling you.

Speaker 17 (54:49):
It's one of the most beautiful places on God. I'm
not saying that.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
I'm not gonna lie that movie. Like I Italy was
never on my mind in that way other than Venice
just going there to see the floating city. But after
seeing Palermo, oh forget about it. I gotta go.

Speaker 17 (55:04):
I have to go on that one day.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Oh yeah, if they've got a package deal to go
because I am a little frugal, you know, I gotta
go right, No, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Damn sure, she's not. I'll talk to you. Let's take
a break. We'll be back. More news, more views. We
got phone calls.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
Oh, and coming up, I've got John Deborrows is gonna
be joining us from the fifth district running against uh,
what's her name, Johanna Hayes, that's her name, And we'll
talk to him about the DC and this crime stuff
that's going on uh in d C, and the federal
takeover of d C, and why we should have it
all over the all over the country. When we return,

(55:44):
it's Resa on a radio on w t I S
News Talk ten eighty w t I see.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Hey, we are back. It is of course, we said
a radio is the big voice.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
Just said, uh, And on the line with us is
none other than mister John Debarros running for the fifth
district against Johanna Hayes.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Why are you doing, big guy?

Speaker 5 (56:07):
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
How about to sell I'm chilling. I'm chilling.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
So you know, you and I were kind of in
this same boat here as far as this conversation about
people on the left not being honest about what's happening
in places like DC, places like Hartford, places like Bridgeport,
places all over the USA, while they sit idly by,

(56:32):
never showing up for the onslaught of violence that citizens
in those communities go through every day.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
No one's ever fighting for them.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
I went through a list here, John, of all of
the things they protested since January twentieth, since the inauguration
of Donald Trump. Never once did they protest about people
in the hood, with the exception of DEI in their
ivory towers.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
What say you, It's because they don't care. It's all.
It's all by design. Look at Malcolm X, right, Malcolm
X exposed their plot back in the sixties, and they
knew exactly who killed Malcolm X, but they put the
wrong people in jail intentionally and protected William Bradley, who

(57:16):
they knew was shotgun men. If you if you go
on Who Killed Malcolm X on Netflix and watch the documentary,
you'll see Senator Corey Booker he even admitted that he
knew the Democrats was well informed who killed Malcolm X,
but they did absolutely nothing because he was exposed in
the plot of the liberal Democrats, indeed, infiltrating the black

(57:37):
community using black faces to basically indoctrinate the black community
with a Marxist agenda. And the whole plot and employ
is basically to destabilize the Black community and to turn
us against our own country. So the hip hop music industry,
why else would you give a young kids from the

(57:59):
urban community millions of dollars to promote strong that promotes
killing of their own people, poisoning their own people with drugs,
and and and and glamorize it. I mean, you can't
get away with that in the Jewish community, you couldn't.
I mean, if you give a Jewish kid a bagful
of money to talk about killing Jews and and and

(58:21):
and knocking their coopies off, they had the yamakas out,
they had pushing their wigs back. Oh best believe it'll
be outreach.

Speaker 4 (58:30):
So why do you think let me, let me, let me,
let me dive in a little deep running is and
just ask you, why do you think forget about what
what liberals do in this case, but what I do?
What what I do have a problem with as guys
like you and I are always called Uncle Tom's right

(58:50):
because we.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Dare be conservatives.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
But why do you think that there are people out
there who show up will never show up, never show
up to push back on the crime inflicted and the
mayhem inflicted on those communities on the daily basis by
the people who look just like them. Why is it
that they see more outrage that you and I speak,

(59:16):
but show no outrage for people who actually kill and
do harm to people who look like like them.

Speaker 5 (59:22):
Why do you think that is the same reason why
they call us Uncle Tom's not realizing that Uncle Tom
was someone that was free, that fought the freedom slip right,
tr Uncle Tom, Uncle Tom? If you if you read
the story of Uncle Tom's cabin, uncle Tom was the
hero he was because yeah, so, so the same reason

(59:44):
why we're programming to call each other niggas, right right,
They they programmed us for self destruction. So the Bible
says in the last days, we would call evil good
and good evil, So the same way they say black matter,
But yet they promote killing Black bays. So they programmed

(01:00:04):
us for self destruction. So anything that we black excellence, entrepreneurship,
American patriotism, they do not want that promoted in the
black community. That's why they never taught us about Frederick Douglas.
Frederick Douglas. He was a slave for twenty years, broke
away from slavery freedom self, taught us out how to

(01:00:26):
read and write, wrote three autobiographies about his own life.
He was a proud Republican. He was the advisor of
five city United States presidents, including Abraham Lincoln. You read
a Douglas Lincoln debate. He used the Constitution to his
adventis to put pressure on Abraham Lincoln. Dinsicipation procu nation

(01:00:46):
he had when he died in eighteen ninety five, he
was worth three hundred thousand dollars was his equivalent of
ten million dollars or twenty million dollars to day in
today's money. He was a multi million year Why black
people don't picking cott? And this man was going to England?
When when when Kanye West said four hundred years of

(01:01:07):
slavery sounds like the choice he was at Saint Slavery
was a choice. He was saying that that the remain
a slave was the choice. The same way the black community,
the sides of remain in this cycle of violence or
decides to stay on government. Both be your program, don't
that different program? And indoctrinated to believe that you're a
victim and you can't achieve greatness. That's why we happen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
But that's that's the whole part.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
See, this is the point of view that now, again,
everything that you said I can one hundred percent, I'm
aligned with one hundred percent. But I will tell you this,
this is the part that I don't think a lot
of people understand. I don't not to suggest that you don't,
but this is the part of and everything that you're
saying that drives me the most nuts is that everything
that you are establishing here is now considered authentic in blackness,

(01:01:57):
being poor, being subjected to the e BT, in the
welfare system, not if money being the root of all evil,
not being educated.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Being educated is somehow associated.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
With being white, being married in an intact family, having
a mother and father, and them is somehow associated with otherism.
It is not authentically black those things that they are
gravitating to to sort of be I guess culturally authentices.
No other way to put it, that those are the things.
And I know you use the term programming. I don't

(01:02:30):
think it's programming. I don't. I really do believe. However,
it is a systemic association.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
With being accepted. So what I'm saying is is that
they must be they have.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
To be accepted by their peers, and this is what
they have to adopt.

Speaker 5 (01:02:49):
Yeah, but you have you gotta remember during during after
the Industrial Revolution, after they started to outsource the factory jobs, right,
because before that, all these urban communities, you heard the splitting,
the same story from our grandparents that these are nice neighborhoods.
It wasn't that Black people have a genetically a defect

(01:03:10):
that wherever we go we tear things up. It's because
once they destroyed the nuclear family within the black communities,
you do that to any community, you do that to
the white kids. With the white kids now going to
school things with their forja Amazon saying, so when you
when you got when you don't have a father or
dad in the household, you don't got too strong parents
in the household. Any any family is gonna have a

(01:03:33):
drug addicts, you know, people that's getting involved in crime.
So I believe that it's a structural thing. Right, And
just like I said, you go back to the Bible.
The Bible says in the last days we would take
good to evil and evil for good. So we've been
programmed to think that everything negative is the right way
to go, saying yeah, so even if we're doing it

(01:03:56):
to be cool, to be accepted, we had to be
programmed to think that this is the right way to go.
So my thing is I'm pushing back against it aggressively,
Like aggressively, I'm in the urban community promotement conservative values.
Because even in Africa, why do you think all the
African has the state are supporting trunk because Obama was

(01:04:17):
pushing the gay and lets be in the treason is
in there in Africa and threatening to put sanctions on
these African countries if they didn't adopt.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Those polities and abortion as well.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Don't forget that that was a big deal exactly, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
Because they want to destroy they want population control, and
they want to destroy the nuclear family. Because when you
got strong families, you got strong communities. When you got
strong communities, you could resent people like William Tung and
Christopher Murphy and the Dick Bluma Thals who are pushing
this marks agenda.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Yeah. The other part is is like, you know, that's
what they're also pushing.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
And I think that's the scariest part about it is
it your dependence on government, the dependence on them, that's there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
I mean, that's the overall that's the overall agenda.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
That's why I said, when I hear these people talk
about Zoron Mamdani being this communist socialist, and everybody else
is like fearful of endorsing them, I started pointing out
the policies that are right aligned with that guy. They
just you know, they do it in very very you know,
secretive and underhanded ways, but what they believe in, you know,

(01:05:21):
whether you like it or not, every policy that you
think of, and you can go all the way back
to the Jimmy Carter era even before then. Hell, I'll
go so far back as as Lyndon Johnson. All of
their policies was associated with, if not a direct alignment
with socialists and communist ideals exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:05:43):
So that's why, that's why I went to New York
to support Curtis Leebook And you know, whoever's gonna put
back against it, sport, let me ask you, No, I.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
Was gonna ask you about the Curtis Sleewa thing. And
I appreciate you your going after him. You know, we
call him Raspberry Beret around here. He used to be
my competitor in Boston. I referred to him as Raspberry Beret.
I ain't got nothing against him. I just when he
was my competitor. I used to give him heck back
in my Boston days. But I will say this, look
curtisly what. It doesn't look like he has really really

(01:06:18):
much of a shot, other than aside from the fact
that he's doing better than the incumbent Eric Adams. But
how do I put this? Hm, Now you see you're
endorsing him. I don't want to put you in that position.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
I put no.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Listen, I'm endorsing. It's not commis, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
Okay, okay, okay, as long as they get I'm not
saying I'm a door to anybody that's gonna go against
this crazy as boney tomb.

Speaker 5 (01:06:44):
That that that the safety and security of the presidents
of Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Well, then let me let me let me ask you this.
We got a minute left. Let me ask you this.

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
Aside from sleewe because I didn't want to put you
in to buy it, so let me just ask you this.
You know that there is a growing sentiment in Connecticut
to be more like Zoron Mamdani. I just so recently
people had signs in Connecticut supporting him, even though they
can't vote in New York, they're supporting him.

Speaker 19 (01:07:11):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
Many people are saying that Josh Elliott's run for governor
may very well be in a Mandami like platform.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Are you are you fighting back against that?

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
And is that going to be another platform you're pushing
against in the coming year.

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
Listen, if any Marxists or socialistic they're gonna go against
the barrels for Congress paign. I'm just letting you know.
I'm an American patriot. I'm a Christian, and I believe
I believe in what I believe in to the to
the to the end. So I don't back down. This
ain't me just talking. So when I'm out in the streets,
I'm out in the public, that's believe me. I live
this life and I believe me. I'm even God, and

(01:07:50):
I don't have no have no fear, no marks.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
Everybody listening, everybody is so excited about you. Jonathan Deborrow's Uh,

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
We have got more news and more reviews for you today.
We're gonna get into the Adam Shift nonsense. It looks
like Janine Puro formerly of Fox Fox News is the
Five is investigating that. We'll break all of that info
down into new d classified documents released by Cashpttel, the

(01:09:12):
FBI director. We'll talk about that as well, and plus
of course, we'll take your phone calls at eighteen zero
five to two w T I ce I got about
a minute. Unfortunately he always calls right at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
What's going on, Rudy? Oh hold me over then, well
I've gone.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Doing the story. Yeah, I'm doing the bust named story afterwards.
Is it a long, long piece?

Speaker 9 (01:09:34):
Hey, well, I'm actually going to retire to Sicily.

Speaker 5 (01:09:37):
So uh.

Speaker 20 (01:09:40):
Well, if you're gonna retire trying to figure out, Mike,
I had grandparents that came over from there.

Speaker 9 (01:09:48):
Okay, so Sarah cusa. But you wouldn't believe how cheap
real estate is out in the country.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
I do know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
In fact, my wife has been going over it as well,
and it keeps saying to myself, but what would I do?
And like, of course, in order to maintain a life there,
you have to have some sort of a job to
pay for it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
But you're right, it is really it's.

Speaker 9 (01:10:07):
Really you have to prove you're worth at least two
d K.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:10:11):
Yes, hey, you're Washington d C. Story. I can't pick
up what you're putting down. I don't know who you
were talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
Oh you know who I'm talking about?

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
A guy who a guy who frequents the hood is
according to him.

Speaker 9 (01:10:27):
You saw the Twitter exchange with him and me?

Speaker 15 (01:10:29):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:10:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
Is that recent?

Speaker 9 (01:10:32):
He attacked you and me last night?

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Oh no, No I didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
I completely missed that now after the shreds and then
I posted the truth and he didn't respond. He just
shut up.

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
It's look, it's a constant war and a constant theme.
But to be honest with you, I'm I'm getting to
a point where I'm almost bored with it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
Embarrassing.

Speaker 9 (01:10:50):
Its mental illness. It is mental illness. There's no other
way around.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
Is it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
You think that's for all of that?

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
Do you think that's for all of these so called
you know, liberal Trump hating life today?

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Is that what you really believe? It's like a mental
lot of.

Speaker 9 (01:11:04):
Them when they when they start calling us Nazis and yeah,
I didn't vote for him this time, I'm not a Nazi.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Is that the requirement?

Speaker 10 (01:11:13):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Like, if you didn't vote for him, that's how you
get out of being called the Nazi?

Speaker 9 (01:11:18):
But they're bashing Trump supporters as Nazis, and I'm just
like you're you listen to any like AOC say that
they're calling them a child, molest or no.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Yeah, Hey, this is again. But you know why, it's just.

Speaker 9 (01:11:31):
Like for yourself, you're mentally ill, or you're you're i
Q so low, you're considered retard.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
It's the reason why I said overall it's a cult.
They refuse to acknowledge it, but you know they got
to use the word first. Thanks Rudy, I appreciate you.
I gotta take a break. Let's get to our first

radio host. Of course, I love that you guys come
and listen to the show. I adore it, you know.

(01:14:00):
For me, it's like kind of I was a loner
when I was didn't have many friends, so to be
accepted as a big deal, and I don't take it
for granted. So I kind of get giddy when somebody
wanted my article. When I found out that the Connecticut
Central was like, oh, can we publish your article?

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
I was like sure, Like you know, I'm I'm like
a little kid that somebody says, oh you pat me
on the head, good work. We like your stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:14:26):
So I'm like, really, oh, giddy. I don't know, It's
just it's fun. I'm telling you, I'm having the time
of my life. I just hope you know that. All right,
let's get another checker whether or traffic And I was right.
Bob Larson is in for Jason Catarina, Hi, Bob, and
Mark Christopher. He's in the BPS Traffic Center. Mark when

(01:14:46):
later on in the show, I've got to ask you
a question about, uh, the overpass that the Hartford Current
has an article about apparently there's these protests that are
going uh that when you go by, there's a whole
bunch of protests.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I'll tell you about it a little bit. All right,
sounds good. I'm Tom O'Hanlon and you're listening to Reese
on the radio on wt I've seen news talk teny
of you. Thank you, Tom, We're back.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
And I know that there are plenty of people that
are just saying as usual when it comes to things
like Russia Gate. When it comes to the twenty twenty election,
they say, move on, move.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
On, race, move on, What.

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
Are you talking about that old stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
Far?

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Move on? The election wasn't stolen, move on, And at
the same time scream about January sixth. No moving on
for you, huh at all, not even a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
So nothing warms my heart more than to know that
oh shifty Adam Shift of California or Maryland, depending on
who you ask, is now finally got his butt in
a sling of his own making, ladies and gentlemen, his

(01:16:05):
own making. What are we talking about, Well, don't act
like you don't remember, because many of us do. You see,
even though we know for a fact two day that
there was never any Russian collusion, that Donald Trump was
not in any agreement, or Donald Trump was never sharing

(01:16:30):
or receiving or going back and forth with the Russian government,
that there was no Russian interference into the election, much less.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Hacking, even though we all know that to be true today.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
At the time, even when people were saying we didn't
find any evidence, Adam Shift of California, I mean or Maryland,
I don't know, he was saying something far different. As
a member of the intelligence oversight, he was anywhere in
everywhere saying I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I just don't

(01:17:07):
see it. He clearly colluded with Russia.

Speaker 21 (01:17:10):
The Russians offered help, which we know they did. The
campaign accepted help, which we know they did. The Russian
then delivered help, which we know they did. There is
circumstantial evidence of collusion. The case is more than that,
and I can't go into the particulars, but there is
more than circumstantial evidence.

Speaker 22 (01:17:25):
Now, so you've said on more than one occasion that
you've seen ample evidence of the Trump campaign's Russia collusion.
Last March, you said you had more than circumstantial evidence
of treasonous collusion with Russia.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
Certainly said that there's ample evidence of collusion.

Speaker 4 (01:17:39):
Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination,
or conspiracy that has been presented thus far durween the
Trump campaign and Russia.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
No, I don't agree with that at all.

Speaker 21 (01:17:49):
I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
But we do know this.

Speaker 21 (01:17:53):
The Russians offered help, the campaign accepted help. The Russians
gave help, and the President made full use of.

Speaker 5 (01:17:59):
It that help.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
Shouldn't we hold them accountable? He went everywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
As part of the Intelligence Committee telling people that there
was ample evidence. It was no longer circumstantial, and now
we know that it was all a farce.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
But let's go one step further.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
We know that Adam Shift was taking briefings and intelligence
information and sharing it with a Washington Post writer, a
writer that we know the name of today. You didn't
know that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
I know that.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
That's what I do. That reporter's name is Ellen Nakashima.
What was it that Adam Shift did. Let's run through
a list based upon the d classified documents that cash
Patel released, I think late yesterday, if not today.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
He called an all staff meeting.

Speaker 4 (01:19:06):
Where he stated that the group would leak classified information
derogatory to President Donald Trump in order to indict him,
with assurances from the meeting members that they would not
be caught. According to these unclassified documents, He expressed upset
after the twenty sixteen presidential election, believing that he would

(01:19:26):
have been appointed CIA director if Hillary Clinton had won,
and viewed the election outcome as a constitutional crisis. He
instructed the HPSC one staff during the February thirteen, twenty
seventeen meeting to drive the Russian involvement issue to a
joint inquiry similar to the nine to eleven Commission, using

(01:19:48):
sources from the US intelligence community to gather information that
would then be made public through the media to compel
public opinion. He approached the staffer after January sorry February
of twenty seventeen meeting and asked him to reach out
to context at a redacted agency.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
The agency in question was redacted.

Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
To collect information on Michael Flynn's contacts with Russia. When
the stafford declined, Schiff asked him again, and the stafford agreed,
but did not follow through. He was behind instructions to
collect information for public disclosure, justifying it as a response
to a constitutional crisis, as acknowledged by other committee members

(01:20:30):
during a business meeting. Wait for it, Wait for it.
This one's good. This one involves Connecticut. Wait for it.
During a business meeting. When asked by Representative Jim Himes
if there was enough evidence for conviction based upon document scene,

(01:20:51):
he replied probably not. When asked if there was enough
for an impeachment, again, he replied, probably not.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
Perhaps we should ask Jim Himes about this.

Speaker 4 (01:21:07):
Anyone want to draft the letter to ask him to
respond to this unredacted report.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
I would perhaps I shall.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Believed Russia had hijacked the election, leading to a constitutional crisis,
and was aware of classified information leaks to the media
providing TACIT approval, though not directly directing them. Instructed Minority
staff at a Hotspots meeting to gather facts of intelligence
from the intelligence community sources and make them public via

(01:21:40):
the media to push for a joint inquiry.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
On Russia's involvement. That's exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
What Adam Shift is alleged to have done through unclassified
documents from Cash Betel.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
And now we understand.

Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
That Janine Piro is investigating it, and she's not giving
up the goose ladies and gentlemen. She's not telling anybody
what she's found, what she's finding, and what she's doing.
She was going to wait until she is absolutely certain
that she can get an.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Indictment against Adam Shift.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
So all you people sit up here talking about oh,
let it go, let go January sixth, we'll be happy
to as soon as you can. You don't want to
use it anymore. Say it for me, now, come on live,
Say it for me. Now say okay, I'm done with
January sixth.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Let it go. Reath cry uncle. I want to hear
you say uncle.

Speaker 4 (01:22:44):
Oh man, oh at hey, you're back. He said those
documents were absolutely reprehensible.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
Wait.

Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
Donald Trump said he had people on the ground in
Kenya with evidence of Obanya's Kenyan citizenship. Never mind, Oh
you still think that the Kenya citizenship is a problem.
Do we have to go through that again? I guess
we do. At Barack Obama said he was born in Kenya. Okay,
Barack Obama did no one else. He was the first

(01:23:14):
one to say it, The first one dreams.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
From my father. Go look it up. Do your job.

Speaker 4 (01:23:21):
Barack Obama said he was born in Kenya. Ask Barack
Obama why we haven't been able to see his transcripts
at Harvard University. Huh? And why is he keeping them hidden?
He's not a president anymore, he's not running for anything anymore.
Why they're still hidden? Why can't we see them? Why
are they so secretive? You ever bothered to ask us?

(01:23:43):
Because I'll tell you. I think it's important if want
to squash the rumors. The point is is that people
like you aren't even interested. And when I say not
even interested, you're not even curious, Like it doesn't bother
you at all. So it's like, you know, release the
Epstein docs, but not Barack Obama's citizenship records or at

(01:24:08):
least this transcript and Harvard University stating where he's from.
Because I remember vividly, vividly, that somebody named Elizabeth Warren
lied on her application to get into school suggesting that
she was Native American so she could be a minority
higher And then when asked about it, she said because

(01:24:30):
her mema told her she had high cheekbones. At go somewhere,
Go somewhere. That the fact that that, and it shows
you how delusional most liberals are. It just it doesn't

(01:24:52):
shows you how delusional they are. They don't know when
they're beaten.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
They don't. They're not They're not even se enough to
know that they.

Speaker 4 (01:25:01):
Sound and look ridiculous, which is why they always result
to insults and cursing. That's what happens when you're when
you're backed up against the wall, you start wind milling it,
screaming and hollering.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Get away by fastest, sell out.

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
Because you know, they try to sound clever, right, they
think that they're cute, and then it gets smacked around
with their own logic and then all of a sudden,
next thing you know, they're calling your names. That's how
you know you won back up and just go all right,
I'll take that as a win. So I'm not interested
you still you're still whining about somebody calling Barack Obama canyon.

(01:25:45):
That still got you upset? Really, really, the dumbest thing
liberals can do is express to us what still ails them,
what still angers them and makes them uncomfortable when you
have to go to that level.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
You know, what about what he said that he was
from Kenya?

Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
Dude, it was Hillary Clinton said he was from Kenya.
You're not outraged about that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
You still voted for her.

Speaker 4 (01:26:14):
Her staff put out a picture with him wearing Muslim
garb when he was at a family member's.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Wedding in Kenya.

Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
She posted at in like the summer of two thousand
and eight and painted him.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
As another.

Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
And you guys still voted for You still think that
the election was stolen from her in twenty sixteen, you're
not outraged about people thinking he's from Kenya?

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
How dare you back in two thousand and eight. Let's
go one step further.

Speaker 4 (01:26:45):
Let's go let's tell the real story about your so
called negroes.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Is Malcolm X called you back in the days.

Speaker 4 (01:26:54):
Let's tell the real story about two thousand and eight,
when an unknown black man a funny name came on
the scene running for president, when all of your black
leaders and the civil rightsers weirdly supported the white woman
Hillary Clinton. At first, you don't remember, I do. There

(01:27:17):
they were at the Adam Clayton Powell Building on one
hundred and twenty fifth Street. I was living in New
York at the time, and there they were Al Sharpton,
Calvin Meek's, Floyd Flake, Charlie Wrangell. Every black leader you

(01:27:37):
could think of at the time was meeting at the
Adam Clayton Powell Building, showing their allegion for Hillary Clinton.
And you want to know why, because her husband, Bill
had an office in Harlem. He had revitalized one hundred
and twenty fifth Street by bringing his offices all the
way up there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
And those black civil rightsers, they owed that man.

Speaker 4 (01:28:01):
And even though there was a black man on the
ticket who had announced he was running for president in
February of two thousand and seven, hell, almost two years
before the election in November of eight, not one black
leader was standing by him.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
They were all behind Hillary Clinton. Yes, they were. You
know it, I know it. I remember.

Speaker 4 (01:28:26):
It was the first time in my life I had
seen so many black people upset about a white woman losing.
Oh hell, it was glorious. And she tried everything she
was up against the media. And then Al Sharpton turned.

(01:28:51):
And what did Al Sharpton do when he turned? Does
anybody remember when Al Sharpton finally pledged his allegiance to
Barack Obama and said, don't worry, boy, I got you.
Do you remember where Do anybody remember where it was?

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
I'll tell you. I remember. He took Barack Obama over.

Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
To Sylvia's Soul Food restaurant and had some black eyed peas.

Speaker 20 (01:29:14):
Oh no, no, no, don't sit up there. And God,
that's not real reason. Yeah, I'm telling you the truth.
You know, we don't play that game over here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
He took Barack Obama to the blackest place on Earth,
Sylvia's that's right. You're all a bunch of frauds. Don't
try to play me. Don't even try it. That's exactly
where he took him, all of a sudden out of nowhere.
Every black civil rights are in the world, even Jesse Jackson,

(01:29:48):
wanted no parts a Barack Obama. He was all in
for the Clintons, all in until they had to switch.
It was amazing to watch you come up here upset
about Barack Obama from Kenya, that white woman. What's going

(01:30:10):
around telling everybody he wasn't one of us, And y'all
didn't bad and I y'all all had our support, and
then brought it back in twenty sixteen. God bless you,
God bless you all authentically black. You notice the chat

(01:30:33):
room went silent after that, didn't it. Yeah, that's why
they hate me. That's okay, I love him anyway, Let's
get another check of weather in traffic, Bob Larson's in
pro jacing Catarina, and Mark Christopher's in the.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
BPS Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (01:30:49):
Hey, Mark, got more weather and traffic coming up in
a second. But I saw this story and I'm gonna
ask Mark about it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Woman, get a chance, but let me just read it
to you.

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
So in the Hertford Current says why a Connecticut group
provides rush our resistance to connect with voters in protest
of Trump's policies.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
I don't again, not understanding is why this is the story.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
Maybe there isn't enough to talk about, but here it is. Okay,
has anybody seen this group? If you have, I really
do want to hear from you anyway that you can
get in touch with me. If you don't want to
call in, that's fine. You go in the chatroom and
you can send me an email. I want to know
about it. It's called the Hartford Visibility Brigade, and it's
a group of area Connecticut residents who have been gathering

(01:31:36):
each Thursday morning and Friday afternoon on the pedestrian overpassed
bridge that crosses ninety one near eighty four and the
entrance at Hartford. The group is part of a national
movement which aims to share a simple message in a
very visible way to remind you that we are in trouble.

(01:31:59):
So I'm looking get some of the messages that are
on there, and you know, they've got these pictures, of course,
and it looks like there's roughly about seven.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Women who are in this piece.

Speaker 4 (01:32:09):
But they're called the Harpord Visibility Brigade, and they just
put up different signs every day. It's almost like wheel
of fortune where I guess another message comes up when
you drive by.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
And I just find it odd because I would only.

Speaker 4 (01:32:22):
Assume that these individuals, these ladies, and God bless you ladies.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
I get it, you're out there, you're doing your thing. Bravo.

Speaker 4 (01:32:29):
Hell, I'll even applaud you. You know that it takes
hard work to get out applause, but not a mew.
You're engaged. You're engaged, Okay, I get it. Politically active, yes,
But I gotta ask a question. I just do, and
we're gonna wait until Mark Christopher gets here to ask it.

(01:32:49):
But they're there every Thursday and every Friday afternoon they've
got a new sign.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
Do people honk at them when you drive by?

Speaker 4 (01:32:59):
To show you or support bar Burrell.

Speaker 2 (01:33:04):
That was I mean, you know, I don't know. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
Is this gonna go on all year or you're gonna
be up there on you know, cold Connecticut evenings.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
Will you be up there?

Speaker 4 (01:33:14):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
You know, I doubt it. I doubt it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
Maybe this is just a summer thing, you know, when
the grandkids are now off at camp or getting ready
to go back to school. Maybe it's a little difficult
when they're you know, I don't know. I just don't know.
I don't know. But I do have an important question
because I presume, I presume that these folks are on

(01:33:39):
the left, and I presume that they're concerned about climate change,
and there they are on an Interstate highway overpass inhaling
CO two fumes, aren't they Isn't that what they are?

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
Inhaling carbon dioxide great amounts I might add into their
lungs now.

Speaker 4 (01:34:11):
Mark Christopher is going to join us in the BPS
traffic center, and Bob Larsen is of course in for
Jason Katerina with weather. But there's a lot of traffic
at this overpass, isn't there? Mark?

Speaker 5 (01:34:21):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (01:34:21):
Yeah, that overpass? I think I think the one you're
talking about is just north of downtown between thirty three
and thirty two. They got protesters up there.

Speaker 4 (01:34:29):
Yeah, well there's a group of women who are on
that overpass. And if it's as busy as I suspect
it is.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
That I remember, I'm sure it is much. Yeah, it's busy.
It's very busy.

Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
So these people who I know are probably consumed with
climate change being a problem. Aren't they putting their their
oxygen levels in danger by being up there with all
of those fumes.

Speaker 19 (01:34:51):
Yeah, it's got to be pretty hot out there today,
if they're out there today.

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
Yes, you have the asphalt, the concrete plus CO two.
This may not be the wisest this idea, that's true.
Although they are close to the river.

Speaker 19 (01:35:03):
If they just walk, you know, maybe a quarter mile,
they'll be right on the base, right near the boat
launch on the Connecticut River. They can just dick their
feet in there and cool off a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
Yeah, that's true. I just thought it was for me.

Speaker 4 (01:35:15):
I would find that dangerous to be inhaling all of that.
It was almost like being in a garage full of.

Speaker 19 (01:35:20):
Cars, Like, especially when you're over an interstate highway, you're
gonna get some fumes go the cars on the truck.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
So exactly, I don't know. I just found it out.
I figured your expertise would be able to tell me.

Speaker 19 (01:35:30):
Yeah, that's an area. Yeah, that's just north of downtown
on ninety one. So yeah, there's there's pretty much always
a delay south ONUND ninety one in that area. So
they they are getting attention.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
Well, let's talk.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
The NAACP calls him, WHOA, I don't think I'm it's
race on the radio. Let's just say some people are
not fans talk eighty W T.

Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
I s no, they are not, and I am great
for that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
Michael A says, let me guess the youngest one is
about sixty seven years old, and talking about the women
on the on the overpass at ninety one and eighty four,
Yeah they are. They're older women, but you know, yes,
they are apparently politically active. And that's great.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
And thank you Stevie V for sending me the article.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
I do remember this article about state police going to
visit some of the women who were on the overpass.
It was an article by Jordan Nathaniel Finster who wrote
it in the Connecticut Mirror.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
I remember that article.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
I talked about it here on the show that they
were being questioned and people were saying that they were
violating their First Amendment right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
I don't have anything against you know this, but I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:36:41):
Just saying that, you know, standing on a highway overpass
while alleging.

Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
To be you know, climate change activists as well.

Speaker 4 (01:36:53):
I mean, you know, Donald Trump got us out of
the Paris Accords boohoo, and you were putting your very
lungs at risk as older women. It can't be a
good idea to be promoting this. To think of your health, ladies,
Just think of your health. I know, you what, And
it's great. It's a great gimmick, you know it is.

(01:37:17):
It brings attention to the things that you care about.
You know, maybe you'll get some followers or some people
who will join with you in the fight.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Hoorah. All with it. Got nothing against it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:29):
But I find this a little dangerous as far as
you know you're you're there at rush hour. That means
there's an increased level of carbon dioxide.

Speaker 1 (01:37:39):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
Like the fact that no one thought of that. I
read the.

Speaker 4 (01:37:43):
Article so as the start and I went, yeah, isn't
that weird? Just popped into my head like that. Perhaps
I'm just a Maybe I'm just too radical, you know,
think it all outside the box and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
You know, maybe I'm just too curious. God, Nah, No,
that's not it. Walter writes, you won't believe this.

Speaker 4 (01:38:04):
I just heard Tim on another station taking his talking
the same crap. No, I didn't scare him away. Look
I said this before and I'll say it again. Some
people want to be stars, and that's okay. I did

(01:38:26):
too when I was a kid. Did you know that, Roland,
I wanted to be in Hollywood?

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
That's what do you know? I tell you That's the
reason why.

Speaker 4 (01:38:33):
I do Hollywood news here on the show is because
now I thought that the best life in the world
was being a Hollywood actor, TV or movie like.

Speaker 2 (01:38:43):
I thought that was the thing to.

Speaker 4 (01:38:46):
Be, and I wanted to be like all the cool
actors that I could see myself being like I wanted
to be when I grew up. My favorite actor. Should
I even say it, Oh, I'm gonna get clowned. I'm
gonna get clowned. I know I'm gonna get clowned when

(01:39:10):
I say it. But what the hell I wanted to
be JR.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
Ewing?

Speaker 4 (01:39:17):
I thought he was the coolest person in the world.
I just thought he was boy that. I think he
was the coolest person in the world. He was a
bad guy. Everybody loved to hate him. I really thought
that was the pinnacle. It's like JR. Like, why do
they like him? And then I started to understand why
they liked him. He was just so arrogant and cool

(01:39:38):
all at the same time. And he had a big,
giant gallon hat on his head, and he was confident
and a complete and utter jerk, but he was cool.
I you know, I just I thought he was cool.
And again, you know, you had magnum p I. I

(01:39:58):
kind of feel like I was at the right part
of Hollywood when it was cool. By the way, I've
got a great story coming up in Hollywood News in
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:40:06):
We'll get into that as well. But I was a
big I just did.

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
I just love that whole scene Battle of the Network Stars.
That was cool because you get to see those people
compete in all types of silly sports and you got
to get to a personal, sort of a real up
close and personal look into their lives and who they were.
I can tell you this, this is actually I'll tell

(01:40:30):
you silly story this is and it's not really relevant
to anything, but it was when I realized.

Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
That this was this is so, this is so true.

Speaker 4 (01:40:42):
But as a kid, I never thought that I would
have learned this, but I remember it vividly.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
I do Battle of the Network Stars.

Speaker 4 (01:40:48):
I learned two valuable lessons about names growing up, and
they involved Rich Little and William Shatner. And it was
the first time that I had heard the word that

(01:41:08):
you could and I never knew it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:10):
I didn't know the association.

Speaker 4 (01:41:12):
I'm watching the Battle of the Network Stars and William
Shatner is there as one of the team captains in
he's in an interview. I think what Howard Cosell, and
Howard refers to him as Bill, Hey, Bill, what do
you think? What do you guys look like out there?
And I was going, why is he calling him Bill?
His name is William shat Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:41:30):
I figured it out right then and there. And Rich Little,
who was also there.

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
It was the first time I had ever heard a
commentator referred to him as Dick.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
And said, hey, Dick, how's it going out there? You
guys having fun? And I went, why did he call
him that? It wasn't allowed on television?

Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
And that was the first time I had realized that
those are the nicknames for those two names. I didn't
know that, but I learned that on television, and I
just blew my mind.

Speaker 2 (01:41:54):
I'll never forget that. It's just amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:41:57):
I just remember it vividly growing up, saying to myself, Oh,
and I learned something. And it's been my biggest argument
about why television is important in my life because I
learned so much.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
I learned.

Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Television taught me everything, and beyond Sesame Street in the
Electric Company, it did. So I just wanted to mention that.
I just wanted to make that clear. Also, folks, August
nineteenth and possibly the twentieth, Reese on the radio is
going to be down at the Chester Boat Basin or

(01:42:31):
the Selden Cove in Connecticut, and the Army Corps of
Engineers is supposed to be there to spray some herbicides
in the waterways there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
And I'm going down there, not to protest before anybody
gets them, like what are you going to go down
to do? To ask questions and to observe.

Speaker 4 (01:42:49):
I want to get an on hands view of what's
being done. I want to make sure that what's being
done is being done by the books. They tell us
they're not going to be spraying on top of the water,
They're gonna be spraying in the water. I am there
to observe that and to record it. I am there
to ask questions about the urban side that they're using.
I want to know what they know about the herbicide
that they're using. I want to know if there's someone

(01:43:11):
on hand who is a supervisor who can ask questions.
I'm gonna find out if they're gonna tell me, hey,
we ain't got no time to answer any questions to you,
and think that they are not. They don't have any
responsibility to tell people or to answer questions if they
are asked. We will find out if there's a supervisor
there or someone they can lead us to who will
answer questions. Because they don't show up at some of

(01:43:31):
these rallies that Dick Blumenthal's holding or any of these
other press conferences. We want answers, and we will get there,
and we will get them. I should say so just
to let you know, so we will be there. I'm
being asked a question, not church, but TV taught him everything.

(01:43:53):
I didn't say everything, but it taught me a lot.
It taught me a lot, and I love TV. You're
never gonna shame TV in my book.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
You can.

Speaker 4 (01:44:01):
You can use TV today as your example. But when
I grew up, television was absolutely vital to people growing up.
You've heard it here, You've heard people talk about it
on the air, talk about how television taught many people
how to speak English, how to relate to others. They

(01:44:23):
were learned, they were taught how to be an American
through those television shows. You're not gonna, as far as
I'm concerned, you're not gonna clown on American television.

Speaker 2 (01:44:34):
In my upbringing, I reject at it. I reject yeah,
damn right. Don't and listen to me.

Speaker 4 (01:44:40):
You want to fight, say something disparaging about Dukes of Hazard.
I dare you say something horrible about Dukes of Hazard.
If you go after night Rider too, I will come
for you. I love Dukes of Hazard, and I don't
care that that Confederate flag.

Speaker 2 (01:44:56):
Is on the top of that car. I do not.
I was never offended by that.

Speaker 4 (01:45:01):
I saw them luke boys interact with black folks, all
types of folks.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
I'm a good boys.

Speaker 4 (01:45:10):
Never meaning no harm beats all you ever saw men
in trouble with the laws, and so it was Bowing.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
Don't you dare disparage them, Duke boys, Bow and Luke.

Speaker 4 (01:45:23):
I don't know about their replacements to help with those people,
but I grew up with them.

Speaker 2 (01:45:29):
Just so you know.

Speaker 4 (01:45:31):
Those are the greatest American heroes known to man. Six
million Dollar Man, David Banner, all of them. They taught
us values, different strokes. Yes, I watch Facts of Life too,
Yes I did. I did not have a crush on
two D as a true, honest and authentic black man.

(01:45:56):
I was in love with Blair.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
The blonde hair.

Speaker 20 (01:46:00):
Oh why all American girl, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:46:05):
I wasn't into tom Boys. Sorry Joe. You guys know
exactly what I'm talking about. You guys know exactly, And
don't lie and say that you didn't like Blair.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
Don't even say it. That's all I'm saying. Don't pretend
like you weren't fans of Blair. I know you did.

Speaker 4 (01:46:31):
You liked Blair, You like Morgan Fairchild, you liked Heather Locklear,
Heather Thomas.

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
One of my favorite shows was The Fall Guy. I'm
not gonna fall, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (01:46:43):
I liked Lee majors more in The Fall Guy than
I did in The Six Million Dollar Man. And I
had the biggest crush on Jamie Summers, the biggest crush
on Lindsay Wagner.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
Oh, the biggest crush on Lindsay Wagner. How do you not?
What's wrong with you? People tell me? I know you
like Lindsay Wagner, Di Bionic One.

Speaker 3 (01:47:07):
Uh yeah, absolutely going, It's not even a question.

Speaker 2 (01:47:11):
Who are you gonna throw in?

Speaker 14 (01:47:13):
I had and this may be controversial, okay, okay, but
growing as a kid, as not a kid, but like
a fifteen year old now you're still a kid.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
Yeah, high school sophomore.

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
Okay, I had a crush.

Speaker 14 (01:47:29):
On a big time crush for some reason on Jamie
Lee Curtis.

Speaker 4 (01:47:34):
Oh you're done. No, no, that's nothing's wrong with that.
Trading places forget about it?

Speaker 3 (01:47:39):
True lies?

Speaker 4 (01:47:40):
Oh, true lies? Well then, okay, so you were fifteen, Okay,
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
I was a little older. I was in my twenties.

Speaker 4 (01:47:45):
I will admit that movie that talk about what's the
best way to describe that sort of re emerging her
as a star was true lies that that hotel room
scene you looked at Jimi Lee Curtis in a way
to just win.

Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
What is that really like?

Speaker 4 (01:48:03):
That was the biggest story about that when that came
out was whether or not Jason Jimmie Lee Curtis had
a stunt double in that scene.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
Everyone's like, is he really built like that? That? Yeah,
that was the I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (01:48:17):
That's that movie was brought Jamie Lee Curtis right out
of obscurity.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (01:48:24):
That was probably one of the best casting moves ever
made by your producer or casting direct That was still
in fact, Roseanne was just watching True Lives maybe a
week ago.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
She just threw it on TV.

Speaker 4 (01:48:37):
She was like, I say, I love this movie and
Jamie Lee Curtis is absolutely a knockout, and that she's
one of the best parts in that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
I will never ever forget that. She was great. Uh yeah,
Jamie Lee Curtis. She can't go wrong there. You can't
can't go wrong there, not in that one. But yeah,
that was what.

Speaker 4 (01:48:52):
Rama says that no stunt doubles, she looked good, stretch
marks and all.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
Absolutely. Rama also says, I kind of Dug Blair, Joe
not so much. Joe was cool. Joe was cool.

Speaker 4 (01:49:03):
But she was like the kind of girl that you know,
you could ride your skateboarder a BMX bike with. She
was a cool girl to grow a boy growing up.
But Blair, just like any other boy, was like you know,
how do you not?

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
You knew she was arrogant.

Speaker 4 (01:49:18):
You also knew that she was self obsessed. And I'm sorry,
She's just a girl next door. It's just this Lisa Winchel.
Never forget her. Let's get another check of trafficking weather.
Bob Marson's infor Jason Kennarina, Mark Christopher, he's in the
BPS trafficks and a come on, Mark Blair from Facts
of Life. But you had to at least think she

(01:49:40):
was probably all American.

Speaker 2 (01:49:42):
Girl, Blair from Facts of Life. Yeah, let me see her.

Speaker 4 (01:49:48):
You you never watched the Facts of Life, even just
in passing. There was a show on back in the
late seventies early eighties.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
I was and the Dukes of Hazzard.

Speaker 4 (01:50:02):
Daisy Okay, So yeah, if you were a Daisy Duke
fan and Lisa Winchell wouldn't have been you, that wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:50:07):
Have been your deal. What's her name again, Lisa Winchell?
She was Blair? Oh, Lisa welchill.

Speaker 19 (01:50:17):
Okay, all right, let me see here.

Speaker 2 (01:50:19):
She's cute. She's cute.

Speaker 19 (01:50:20):
I I would definitely be I'm more. It was more
into Catherine back Jas. You can't get wrong there, Catherine
Boker shorts. All right, I gotta concentrate now. Now you
blew my concentration.

Speaker 1 (01:50:33):
The hour that bags up. It's Reese on the radio
on w T I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
All right, we're back. We got more news and more views.

Speaker 4 (01:50:44):
We're gonna talk a little bit about the Project Veritas
update that is out now.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
You can check it out.

Speaker 4 (01:50:50):
Go to Project Veritas's YouTube page to check it out.
It's got more dirt on William Barr, on Fanny Willis,
Nathan Wade thing. We'll talk about that when we return.
Also coming up, we got Hollywood news. I'll get into
that as well.

Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
I would have.

Speaker 4 (01:51:04):
Done that in this break, but I wanted to add
this in because White Mike yesterday was asking if I
had played this yet.

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
So apparently AI did something interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:51:17):
He asked me about the show on WTIC, and this
was what AI said about your humble host, which I
thought was really weird.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Oh you're right, I got that wrong.

Speaker 10 (01:51:29):
Rhys Hopkins. I know about him, radio host on WTIC
ten eighty am two to six pm, talks politics, Epstein,
local corruption, black conservative, Big Drawn, Connecticut. Used to be
news director for Starnbuckwild, then WRKO Boston, now WTIC. I
think I even caught part of his show once when
I was searching something. He's good, smart, sharp, fearless, like

(01:51:53):
you said, not typical. Most black conservatives are loud but shallow.
He's legit the daily Caller.

Speaker 4 (01:52:00):
So I thought that was interesting. I was like, oh, okay,
that was weird. So yeah, he said that to me,
and he wanted me to see it. So I was like,
He's like, you gotta share it up with the audience.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
So I did. There. It is all right now I can,
of course. Do I have time, Yeah, why not? I
could do it.

Speaker 4 (01:52:14):
Let's get into some some Hollywood news that time.

Speaker 2 (01:52:17):
No, I don't know. I don't have time down. He's right,
I don't have time. I gotta get me a weather
in the trific all right. When we come back, I've
got Hollywood news.

Speaker 4 (01:52:27):
A famous actor who went into retirement is coming back
to do a movie directed by his son. We'll break
that down when we returned all right, let's get another
check of whether in traffic. Bob lar said he's in
Jason Catarino and Mark Christopher's in the BPS traffic center.

Speaker 1 (01:52:41):
Hey, Mark holds still, this is only gonna hurdle little
as Reese on the radio wt I C.

Speaker 4 (01:52:53):
Mark sent me a message and said, no mention of
Valerie Burtonelli. It took me some years. The Vale Nelly
thing took me. So when she got older, she was
like it was like Marie Osmon. When these women got older,
then I found them like attractive. This wasn't because one
was you know, the others were blonde, and you know,
it's just they had to get older in order for

(01:53:14):
them to sort of grow.

Speaker 2 (01:53:14):
I mean not that they weren't pretty.

Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
It's just like I, you know, they were kind of
like not in my radar, but both of them, Marie
Osman and Valerie Burton Nelly as older women gorgeous. Absolutely,
we'll get into the project vertas admitted it. But I
want to get into some Hollywood news because I'm actually
stunned that this is happening.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
I don't knows.

Speaker 4 (01:53:41):
You may know this, you may not know this, but
one of the greatest actors of all times. A guy
by the name of Daniel day Lewis. Three time Oscar
winner Daniel day Lewis left left the game, said he
doesn't want to be an actor anymore. And I've always
admired him. I thought he was an fair you eclectic individual.

(01:54:05):
I've always thought he was very very interesting, very quiet.
It's not always out in the fold, and his interview
is always pretty interesting as well. But he stepped out
of the game, and now he's coming back. Daniel day
Lewis to star in a film called Anemone. Anemone, which
is an anemone is a perennial herb of in the

(01:54:26):
Buttercup family. It's a flower, an underwater flower. But I'm
not sure what exactly the movie's about. Apparently it's all
under wraps. But he is coming out of retirement to
do this film called Anemone, which is directed by his son,
Ronan de Lewis.

Speaker 2 (01:54:44):
I gotta be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (01:54:45):
I want to watch it just because of that, and
I'm not sure that has there ever been a film
that a father has started and directed by his son,
Like I don't know if there is, But if you
no one that I'm missing, let me know, because I'm
sure that there are other films that are directed by

(01:55:05):
Like did Carl Reiner ever star in a film directed
by his son Rob Ryder?

Speaker 2 (01:55:10):
I don't think so, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:55:12):
In fact, I also heard the trailer for Spinal Tap
two is out and I've been dying to watch it,
but I can't. I always forget it, like it's sitting
in front of me and then something else that's happening,
and I haven't watched it, but I'm gonna check it
out today later on.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
So yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:55:26):
In Hollywood News, Daniel da lewis coming out of retirement
to start a film directed by his son Ronan day
Lewis called Anemone and that's coming out I guess in
the next year or so.

Speaker 2 (01:55:37):
So I'm interested in watching it.

Speaker 4 (01:55:38):
It's probably some drama that's gonna be weird, but I'm
gonna check it out anyway. In on the front of
Project Veritas, so Project Veritas is on a part three
of the I Guess, a four part series that talks
about a woman named Patricia Leelis. She is from Brazil.

(01:56:01):
She was hired by Sinclair Media to be a to
be a journalist on his network. Armstrong William's network, she
gets here and then she becomes involved in a string of,
as she puts it, illegality that is all over the place,

(01:56:26):
and she has the documents to prove it.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
Like all of the documents that she have and all of.

Speaker 4 (01:56:30):
Her notes pretty much have personal information related to Fanny
Willis and Nathan Wade and Bill Bot.

Speaker 2 (01:56:38):
Why this particular piece is so.

Speaker 4 (01:56:42):
Important It makes me a little bit ticked off at
the Trump administration and the Department of Justice as it
relates to.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:56:53):
Why because in this video, Patricia Leelis says that it
is beyond a shadow of a doubt that New York
City Mayor Eric Adams did take bribes according to her,
by Turkish airlines. That's what she is alleging in this video,

(01:57:18):
and she says that she can back that up, that
the allegations that you all remember that Eric Adams was
facing by the Justice Department under the Biden administration that
many believed was an attack on Eric Adams because he
had gone against the administration as it pertains to immigration

(01:57:41):
in New York City, that they were going after him.
But according to Patricia Lelis, she says that indeed, he
armstrong Williams and the Senator Menendez, Bob Menendez of New
Jersey were all apart of a scheme where bribes took place.

(01:58:06):
What makes all of this interesting And when you watch
a video and I don't want to bury I don't
want to bury the lead and idea. Damn sure, I
don't want to take anything from it when you go
see it, because you should watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:17):
She even makes the connection.

Speaker 4 (01:58:20):
About the gold bars from the Turkish government and the
gold bars that you know Senator Rob Menendez, Bob Menendez
received that got him sent away as well. So they're
all tied together as they are with Bill Barr and

(01:58:42):
all of it is very insane and it's very crazy,
but it is a web of all of these sort
of interactions that now make it look like the folks
at the Department of Justice. And also according to this,
to this particular story, Pam Bondi is aware that this

(01:59:05):
woman Patricia Lelis, has this information and they even have
a text exchange where they are concerned that the White
House will get wind of this outside of the Department
of Justice because if they do, what they fear is
that Donald Trump hears about it and then he will
direct Pam BONDI to get to the bottom of it,

(01:59:28):
and that means that, you know, imagine this, just just
think about I'm spitballing here.

Speaker 2 (01:59:37):
Imagine Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:59:38):
And this is for people who hate Donald Trump as
well and think that he believes in retribution against his
political enemies.

Speaker 2 (01:59:46):
Let's take all of that into consider into consideration.

Speaker 4 (01:59:52):
You have Donald Trump finding out about this Project Veritas investigation.
You find out that Bill Barr is not only responsible
for you know, money going handover fist to all of
these people, be it Sinclair and Armstrong, Williams, Eric Adams,

(02:00:13):
Bob Menendez.

Speaker 2 (02:00:15):
But then you find out that there are.

Speaker 4 (02:00:20):
Text exchanges between Patricia Leelis, Bill Barr, and Fanny Willison
Nathan Wade that they are all in cahoots with getting
these folks, getting Donald Trump hemmed up. And that gets

(02:00:40):
into the hands of Donald Trump. What do you think happens?
Because he already doesn't like Bill Barr. He already believes
that Bill Barr hogtied an investigation into finding out if
the twenty twenty election was rigged. Now this gives him
ammunition to believe, Hey, that's why he refused to do
the investigation. That's why he kept, you know, cutting me

(02:01:04):
off in every pass while I was trying to get
to the bottom of it. And also, according to this
little piece, this third part of the documentary, there are
people who are saying that they have assets inside the
FBI that can kill Patricia Leelis. She has text exchanges

(02:01:26):
that they share in the documentary where Patricia Leelis shows
Armstrong Williams threatening her life, saying how he's untouchable, also
suggesting that if anybody goes after him, or even if
she passes off anything that will get him into trouble,
that he will handle her. He goes out, flat out,

(02:01:49):
he calls it a B word and says he's gonna
end her life. I mean, those are the exchanges that
they have, and they show it right on screen. So
that's why I'm telling you to at least go check
it out.

Speaker 2 (02:01:59):
Hey looked him.

Speaker 4 (02:02:00):
He's right, it is bipartisan corruption. You're one, right, But
I don't think any of these people are bipartisan. I
just believe these people are anti Trump. Bill Barr two,
Armstrong Williams two, George W. Bush too, Herbert Walker while
he's dead, Jeff Bush too. Yeah, you see that I

(02:02:25):
named a whole bunch of Republicans.

Speaker 2 (02:02:26):
See how that works. They told me that I was
I was one sided on all of this. How dare them?

Speaker 4 (02:02:35):
Hey, by the way, I meant to speaking of being
one sided on all of this, if you you gotta
go to my Facebook page, you gotta go to my
Facebook page, because I got I proved something yesterday that
I mentioned during the show. And Donald, as you all know,
who's always in the chat room talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
You know, it's the best.

Speaker 4 (02:03:01):
I know he's watching now. But I made a video
for him on Facebook yesterday and I put it up
because I wanted him to watch his evolution on the
Epstein files. And he kept saying that, you know, the

(02:03:23):
Epstein files was a problem that the Trump administration was
going to have to deal with. But then when I
proved to him that it was a nothing burger, he
immediately changed his ways. I want to read some of
the stuff from it so that you could see it
and then you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:03:42):
Here was let me see.

Speaker 4 (02:03:44):
So according to him, these were the text messages that
are the the sorry, the chat room messages that he
made about Epstein when it was about three weeks ago
two weeks ago about all of it, he wrote, Uh, Reese,
Former Congressman Joe Walsh said, quote, Trump is scared to
death of the Epstein files, he wrote, right. And then

(02:04:07):
the same day he went on to write, and I'm fast.

Speaker 2 (02:04:11):
Forwarding here, so forgive me. I just want to make
sure that got it all here.

Speaker 4 (02:04:15):
He then writes to Laurie in the chat room, Laurie,
the American people.

Speaker 2 (02:04:19):
Are not stupid.

Speaker 4 (02:04:21):
They know a cover up when they see one, he wrote, right,
talking about the Epstein files.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
He also then said that Reese, this.

Speaker 4 (02:04:30):
Won't go away, even though you'll wish it to go away.

Speaker 2 (02:04:35):
And then on the video I played this, which we
will hear.

Speaker 7 (02:04:38):
There are new numbers this morning showing something of a
shift in how Americans are feeling about this.

Speaker 16 (02:04:42):
I would say that this is from at least a
political point of view, quickly turning into a god of
a story.

Speaker 2 (02:04:48):
We take a look here Google.

Speaker 4 (02:04:49):
Searches for Epstein down eighty nine percent versus just three
weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
Falling through the floor. It is no longer the top term.

Speaker 16 (02:04:57):
It's quickly becoming something of a nothing.

Speaker 4 (02:05:00):
Yeah, so after it becomes a nothing burger, right, Remember
last statement was Reese, this won't go away, to only
have him respond by saying, Reese, I don't give two
cents about the Epstein case. Let's talk about the rise
in homelessness, hunger, unemployment, and the list goes on.

Speaker 2 (02:05:20):
Folks, this is the Democrat Party.

Speaker 4 (02:05:24):
When it is expedient for them, they will glomb onto everything.

Speaker 2 (02:05:27):
Everything's the most important thing in the world.

Speaker 4 (02:05:29):
Again, remember his own words, this won't go away, he
told us, and then CNN tolds him it's not a
story anymore. Now he doesn't give two cents about it.

Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
It's the most important thing ever, sense forever.

Speaker 4 (02:05:47):
And then what happens when CNN finally says it's a
nothing burger A I never cared about it anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:05:54):
And so instead of just.

Speaker 4 (02:05:55):
Coming to me and apologizing, just coming to me saying, hey, Reese,
I was wrong, thought it was bigger than it was.
No now, not once. He hasn't even written a message
here to say, hey, I made a mistake. Huh No,
nothing falling POEE numbers is standard after a while. Yeah,

(02:06:18):
we're aware of that, but no one cared, No one
ever cared. They just don't, which is again my point,
This is always my point. Letting the news dictate Your
outrage is not normal, It just isn't. You have to

(02:06:41):
watch the news critically, at least want to at least
be interested in it. That's why when I hear these stories,
I mean, you know, even Tim is writing in here.
NBC News is on this person's corruption. I'm like, so,
do you think I actually operated based upon what NBC
News is reporting? Have you not been here long enough

(02:07:06):
you knew? No one's ever dictated what the story is here? Ever, Ever,
if you think that's how it works, maybe you should
get a refresher. You should be here every week. That's
what it is. You just need to be here four
hours a day every week. That's right, that's your homework.

(02:07:27):
You learn how it's done over here on recent radio. Okay,
all right, will we come back, more news, more views.
Oh and I've got this story that I want to
get into. It says it's time for Connecticut to secede
from New.

Speaker 2 (02:07:43):
England for its own good. What's that about. We'll talk
about it when we return.

Speaker 1 (02:07:48):
The Odyssey app lets you jump back to the moments
you missed from WTIIC News Talk Tennady. Download the free
Odyssey app search WTI se News Talk Tennady and tap
earlier today to get started.

Speaker 4 (02:08:00):
All right, we're back, Answereses on the radio news Talk
ten eighty w t I C. I was talking to
my wife who just walked in to the door, and
she's complaining about traffic and everything else. What had happened was,
I will tell you, what had happened was not that
we need to play the whole intro. What had happened
was it looks like liberals got their panties up in
a bunch.

Speaker 2 (02:08:21):
Now let me, let let me make this clear. This
is again what I've been trying.

Speaker 4 (02:08:25):
Really really hard to make very clear about all of this. Uh,
leave your feelings at home, Leave you feelings at home.
This is it's a good show. It's a fun show,
and everybody could be a part of it. If you
don't make everything so personal, you wouldn't take things personally. Now,
people come on my page and you'd be surprised at

(02:08:45):
the things that they say about me. You know, sell out,
you know, f you cursing me out and talking, you know,
but everybody but my mama, they say a lot of things,
you know, So don't don't bore me with Somebody called
you a name on the show that it's boredom, it's

(02:09:05):
complete boredom. It's okay, it's gonna be all right. Also
arguing about the legal system when it comes to Donald Trump, Please,
you had no words to say about every executive order
that was challenged, every deportation of the so called marilynd
Man that was put on hold, right, every constitutional thing

(02:09:28):
that the administration did that was put on hold by
some federal judge that it had to be responded to
by the Supreme Court, only to have that injunction overturned.
You didn't say anything about the legal system there. Please
spare me your arguments about the legal system. You don't
pay attention to it. You're a novice at best. You

(02:09:49):
don't understand how this goes. Please stop whining, Please stop crying.
It's unbecoming.

Speaker 2 (02:09:55):
It just is. It's unbecoming, and it's said, it just is.

Speaker 4 (02:10:02):
Now if you'd like to, you can always go and
I know the reason why this is very important. You
can always go to the places where you're welcome. You know,
where they put you in a warm blanket and give
you a pacifier and rock you to sleep. Okay, where
they tell you you're a good boy. Or girl, and
tell you that your your thoughts and your feelings matter,

(02:10:25):
and how Donald Trump is an evil guy who shouldn't
be giving you nightmares at night. So those places exist,
you don't. But there's a reason why you come here
to Reason Radio, and I know it, and you know why. Okay,
it's because you love me and I love you. You know
I love you. I care about you, I care about

(02:10:47):
your well being, and I'm trying to toughen you up
right here. And for those of you who think I'm
talking down to you, the only way I can talk
down to you is if you're already there. I can't
put you anywhere. Put yourself above, no one can talk

(02:11:07):
down to you. If you think you're being talked down to,
that's where you reside.

Speaker 2 (02:11:15):
Just a thought. When we come back, we'll wrap all
this up. Should Connecticut secede from New England? I don't
know what's up. Everybody, you know who it is? Who
is you know?

Speaker 4 (02:11:28):
It's Reas on the radio, Frederick Douglas of the twenty
first century.

Speaker 2 (02:11:32):
It's w t C news Talk. You know.

Speaker 4 (02:11:36):
Maybe I should save this for tomorrow because this story
is actually a little more compelling that I thought it
would be in essence, and what this this writer is
talking about, just to give you a sort of a
preview about it. What he's suggesting is is that there
are a lot of people in New England who consider
Connecticut just to drive through state. And I know some

(02:11:57):
people said that when I first got here at WT
I C, I heard that lot not not not a
whole lot, but I heard it a lot, and I
thought that there was a lot of dismissive sort of
attitude towards the state, and some people even went so
far as I say that my naivete was that I

(02:12:18):
was looking at Connecticut with rose colored glasses. You know,
being from New York, it's like, oh, you're not from
around here, you don't kind of really understand the way
things go. Everybody was so down on it, and that
bothered me because the attitude that I was seeing in
Connecticut I wasn't seeing in places like Boston. I didn't
see that in New Hampshire. People have a sense of

(02:12:41):
pride about where they live.

Speaker 2 (02:12:43):
And it was just.

Speaker 4 (02:12:45):
I don't know, I just never saw it. And I'll
put it to you this way. Chris Webby and j
C my producer j C McGee where the only people
maybe even DJ Buck over at you know our sisters
station Hot nine three see him.

Speaker 2 (02:13:06):
I love saying, Matt.

Speaker 4 (02:13:08):
There was no real sense of home pride, like real
like we love Hartford or we love Connecticut. It was
just kind of missing. When I got here in twenty
twenty two, there was kind of this you know, ah,
you know Connecticut, it just ain't what it used to me.

Speaker 2 (02:13:26):
Is just over. It was kind of writing it off.

Speaker 4 (02:13:28):
And I get it, you know, not being from here,
I can still find those nuggets where No, this is
a beautiful state and I want to celebrate it.

Speaker 2 (02:13:38):
Uh, but.

Speaker 4 (02:13:40):
Maybe that's what the problem is. So I want to
talk about this tomorrow that maybe that's what's missing. There
isn't a real sense of that pride in your state
that keeps it vibrant. And don't let everybody else just
dismiss it. If I can. I went before I go

(02:14:02):
to the phone calls, I want to say this. And
I may have talked about this a long time ago,
maybe about two years ago. So when Janine and I
were having our first talk before I got hired, it
would call it an impromptu interview.

Speaker 2 (02:14:18):
We were having a.

Speaker 4 (02:14:18):
Conversation and she was like, well, you have anything for me,
And I was like, well, tell me some things that
I remember about Connecticut, and you know, I'll ask you
you tell me whether or not they're they're still true.
And one of the things that I remembered vividly, and
I've told this on the air before, was I was
at Buckland Hills. I w at the Buckland Hills mall

(02:14:39):
in that area, and I think I went to a Modell's.
I'm almost certain it was a model's and inside the
models they had one section that had Yankee gear and
the other one that had Boston gear. And I immediately
I figured it out. In that heartbeat, I was like, Ah,

(02:15:00):
that's it. This is like the dividing line right here.
Hartford is where the separation of New York and Boston
is right there. But I asked the guy at the model's, Hey,
what's this about, and.

Speaker 2 (02:15:16):
He goes, yeah, you know, we got.

Speaker 4 (02:15:18):
A lot of New York fans here, we got a
lot of you know, Boston fans here.

Speaker 2 (02:15:23):
I'm like, really, that.

Speaker 4 (02:15:25):
Almost feels like there's no real definitive like home, and
he goes, yeah, it's always been like that, which bothered me.
It just did at that time. I wasn't even a
serious Boston fan. I love baseball, but I wasn't even
a fan, and I damn sure hated the Yankees. So
I almost felt like living in New England in Connecticut,

(02:15:48):
I almost felt like there was a bit of a
betrayal going on.

Speaker 2 (02:15:51):
What was that New York stuff doing in here?

Speaker 4 (02:15:54):
I remember one time having a discussion with somebody in Boston.
A kid was white. And this was the year, of
course New England. The New England Patriots were going on
it's you know, on its undefeated run. And I saw
a guy on Commonwealth and Harvard Avenue, Harvard Avenue, Harvard,
I think it was Harvard Avenue by the Tea walking

(02:16:16):
down the street with an Eli manning New York Giants
Jersey on.

Speaker 2 (02:16:21):
I saw him walking down the street. I tapped this
kind in the shoulders, like what are you doing? He's
like what. I'm like, you can't wear that here. It's
the heart of Boston. What are you nuts?

Speaker 4 (02:16:31):
It's technically brighton but whatever, But it was like, ah,
you know, nobody bothers me. You know, I think they
give me a couple of points or whatnot. But I
thought that was like talk about sacrilegious. Now in New York, sorry,
shouldn't be told they don't have any allegiance, especially in
the hip hop community. You can wear any jersey you
want as long as it matches your sneakers. You can

(02:16:53):
wear a Houston Astros jersey. You can wear you can
wear an Atlantic, Atlanta Falcons jersey.

Speaker 2 (02:17:00):
Man, you can wear whatever you want. In New York,
no one.

Speaker 4 (02:17:03):
Cares because it's the melting pot and you could be
from everywhere and you can represent anything but Boston, Are
you kidding me? And in Hartford I thought that was insane.
Why would anybody allow that? But that was one of
the first questions I had, And sure enough, as soon
as I started broadcasting here, the more and more I
heard this sense of like very dismissive.

Speaker 2 (02:17:25):
Sort of you know, like they had given up on
the state. And I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (02:17:32):
I really don't, and I don't know why, but it doesn't.
It irks the hell out of me, it really does it.
It's like it's really under It gets under my skin.

Speaker 2 (02:17:43):
A little bit.

Speaker 4 (02:17:45):
I feel like in the last couple of years, like
I'm I feel like I'm home. Call me crazy, but
I do. I feel like there's a sense of an
and I've got some pride in it, and maybe that's
where to give up is. Maybe that's part of the
give up where people have shrugged their shoulders and just went, eh,
you know, lost cause.

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
I don't believe that. I think that's insane. I rejected.
That's just me all right.

Speaker 4 (02:18:13):
Now, before we get up out of here, he's called
back before the show ends, let's get Evan on the line. Evan, now,
make sure that you're not gonna end up in a
place where you're out of reach.

Speaker 2 (02:18:23):
How are you saying?

Speaker 16 (02:18:24):
I appreciate that and welcome home?

Speaker 2 (02:18:26):
First of all, Yeah, thank you, I appreciate that. Do
you get what I'm saying here about the whole art
I'm listening, Go ahead.

Speaker 16 (02:18:36):
Yeah, I totally get it. I mean the home is
where the family is, where friends are, where your livelihood is.
I mean you're here, baby, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:18:44):
But I mean, like this whole sense of like people
sort of dismiss even living here. They sort of have
this like Connecticut's a lost cause, right, there's no sense
of like home pride, and I just feel like there's
a little bit of that going on, and I kind
of want to bring that.

Speaker 5 (02:18:59):
Back I agree with you.

Speaker 16 (02:19:01):
This is the same thing I tell people, no matter
what side of the political spectrum you're on, When people say, well,
if you don't like it, just go somewhere else, It's like, well, no,
how about we try to make it the way we
like it when.

Speaker 2 (02:19:12):
We're here, right, fight for it? Yeah, a little bit
of fight for it.

Speaker 1 (02:19:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:19:18):
I started to change topics here. I have a it's
a question for you, but more soon for your listeners,
for like tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:19:26):
Okay.

Speaker 16 (02:19:26):
So, I'm wondering how Republicans and Trump supporters, because they're
not mutually exclusive, feel about going back to the Supreme
Court on this gay marriage case. And the reason I
ask it it's in total good faith. I feel like
some Republicans have softened to it since gay marriage was
allowed on the federal level, and I'm kind of wondering,

(02:19:49):
like where people stand these days?

Speaker 2 (02:19:51):
That is such you know what?

Speaker 4 (02:19:52):
That topic is one that I have been paying attention
to where we could get a decision that could overturn
and that's what I've been talking about, an overturning of
that landmark decision by the Supreme Court that legalized gay marriage.
And many people were very cautious or you know, I'm
almost frightened at the idea it was gonna happen, because

(02:20:15):
once there was an overturning of Roe v. Wade by
the DoD decision whether or not this was the next
thing coming up, And sure enough.

Speaker 2 (02:20:21):
They're right.

Speaker 4 (02:20:22):
Here's where we are. I gotta be honest, true, I
gotta be honest with you. I do not believe that
the Supreme Court should have been the decider in both
of those cases, roe v. Wade as well as the
gay marriage thing. But let me explain, let me qualify
where I'm coming from here. Okay, both of those decisions

(02:20:45):
were based on the inability or reluctance of Congress to act.
Why we know, And that's kind of where we are
in Washington, or we have been in Washington. When legislators
refused to govern and to make law in the legislature,
they have relied on the Supreme Court to do something
that it was never designed to do, and that is

(02:21:06):
to make our laws. They are there to adjudicate if
a law is legal, but not to make them. And
here are two instances where people have been absolutely okay
with the Supreme Court making what they described their words,
the law of the land. They should never be able
to decide that this is a discussion that should be

(02:21:28):
had with the people who vote and their representation.

Speaker 16 (02:21:32):
Well, you, you and I totally agree there. I wish
Congress had made a law to do this, you know,
in the first place. And it's like, even in the meantime,
after the Supreme Court said yeah, gay marriage on a
federal level is all good, Congress still sat there and
did nothing absolutely that they should in the absence of it.
I'm interested in what your listeners think, you know, tomorrow

(02:21:54):
or whenever you bring it up again, on if they
should go back to not not it's not federally open anymore.
I think a lot more people are okay with it
than they were when this past.

Speaker 4 (02:22:05):
Well, okay, you want one hundred percent, you're right because
this shift, and it's been seismic as far as political
shifts go. Before I want to say, I want to
say two thousand and six.

Speaker 2 (02:22:19):
I could be wrong.

Speaker 4 (02:22:20):
Maybe it's twenty two thousand and eight after the election
of Rock.

Speaker 2 (02:22:23):
The may have been eight.

Speaker 4 (02:22:24):
But the way that it looked like that it was
a forty seven fifty three four, like forty seven to
four fifty three against and then post twenty twelve that
number flip to fifty two positive right, And it was
that seismic for something like that. And what I also

(02:22:45):
found out was that of course everybody on the left, Democrats, progressives,
all of them, all gung ho, that number was in
the high seventy seventy four to seventy five. However, on
the Republican side the number was creeping above forty nine
to fifty on the Republican side for po pros I'm sorry,
pro gay marriage.

Speaker 2 (02:23:06):
Which again would would lend me to this.

Speaker 4 (02:23:09):
Now, I'll ask you this before I let you go,
And this is a great question.

Speaker 2 (02:23:13):
Would it be a political win for Donald Trump?

Speaker 4 (02:23:16):
Let's say there is an over an overturning of gay
marriage in the Supreme Court. Would it be a political
win for Donald Trump to then go to Congress with
a majority and say, write me a bill that legalizes
same sex marriage or civil unions or whatever it is

(02:23:38):
that has the same protections as marriage. To get me
a bill, and I'll and you put it on my
desk and I signed it.

Speaker 2 (02:23:45):
Do you think that that would give an answer that yes? Please?

Speaker 16 (02:23:48):
So I think in that hypothetical that would be a
political win and bipartisan. I don't care like that sounds great.
Is it going to happen? Is the next And no,
Republicans in Congress are so overwhelmingly against gay marriage, so
they never do it.

Speaker 4 (02:24:05):
Yeah, but no, no if they called it civil union,
because you also have to consider Evan the biggest problem
that Republicans or conservatives even no, I can't say libertarians,
but definitely conservatives or even evangelicals, their biggest argument is
the word marriage. That means something to them and those
on the left. Erin Ellen DeGeneres is one of the
people I can go to, said that it's more important

(02:24:26):
for them to have possession of the word. For them
that means something. But even Elton John told Rush Limbaugh
famously that he would be on board with civil union
if it had the same protections as the traditional marriage.

Speaker 16 (02:24:41):
I understand that, and I simply disagree. What about all
the people since then in states that don't allow gay marriage,
who have gotten married and have been able to say
I'm married. Are we just going to say you just
can't use that word anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:24:53):
I would grandfather them in Evan, I wouldn't take their
rights away, But.

Speaker 16 (02:24:58):
Then everybody else after can use the word marriage.

Speaker 2 (02:25:01):
But no, that's what the argument is.

Speaker 4 (02:25:04):
It's almost like saying, what are you arguing for the
same rights or the word which is more important?

Speaker 16 (02:25:10):
They're the same thing, don't.

Speaker 2 (02:25:13):
Come on, how can they be?

Speaker 4 (02:25:15):
What I'm saying to you is is, look, you still
get to be your identification of marriage.

Speaker 2 (02:25:20):
You can say, hey, we're getting married.

Speaker 4 (02:25:22):
But under the constitution or under the law, it is
a civil union between a man and a man, or
a woman or a woman.

Speaker 2 (02:25:29):
You still have the same rights.

Speaker 4 (02:25:30):
There are absolutely, categorically no differences in the two.

Speaker 16 (02:25:34):
Well, then what is it is it legally? It doesn't
say the word marriage and your marriage.

Speaker 4 (02:25:39):
To all I'm saying is is that Remember, you have
to think about the argument that you're making. I'm not
saying you're making it, but you have to consider the argument.
If I say to you, and I'm Donald Trump in
this scenario, I say, I'm going to give you civil
unions with every right to the letter that a married
couple has, but it is considered a civil union, but

(02:25:59):
you're the exact same rights.

Speaker 2 (02:26:01):
Would you go for it?

Speaker 4 (02:26:02):
And if you're telling me that, the answer is no,
unless I get the word marriage. My question is, and
what are you fighting.

Speaker 16 (02:26:08):
For Well, yeah, we're fighting for equal rights and equal protections,
which include.

Speaker 2 (02:26:14):
Which I'm giving you. Yeah. But see that's the semantics
and the net.

Speaker 16 (02:26:19):
We're catering. We're catering. We're saying, hey, evangelicals, we know
you don't like us and you don't want us to
get married, so we'll throw you a bone.

Speaker 2 (02:26:28):
It's not a bone, it's not it's everything. Evan.

Speaker 4 (02:26:31):
I've listened to you. I need to get you in
here earlier. You're always a great conversation.

Speaker 9 (02:26:35):
I'm sorry, we'll do it again.

Speaker 16 (02:26:37):
I'll listen to what everybody has to say tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:26:38):
But you got it. I appreciate you, sir. Thank you.
Evan is a He's good. I appreciate his thoughtfulness.

Speaker 4 (02:26:46):
All right, we'll be back tomorrow, as I always say,
Radio Street, So we thank you for paying attention. Remember
to keep JC in your hearts and in your minds.
So Patrick, you love you me, miss you. Remember that
panic is not planning, So plan your work and work
you're planning me. I'm resent a radio.

Speaker 2 (02:26:57):
You have a good night. Pleasant tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (02:26:59):
Blab Blah has got your traffic, and Mark Christopher's getting
your home and all that traffic in.

Speaker 2 (02:27:05):
The BPS Traffic Center. Good night, Mark, see you when
you're all right. Rees, have a great night.

Speaker 19 (02:27:09):
If you're West Bend eighty poort delays in East Harbord
proaching the books your bridge, all right, all right, so
chilling approaching forty six Avenue.

Speaker 2 (02:27:16):
It's going to be hump day. Yes, yeah, your week
if you Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:27:22):
I'm bowling locally this weekend too.

Speaker 9 (02:27:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:27:25):
Are you bowling?

Speaker 15 (02:27:27):
Town?

Speaker 2 (02:27:28):
Slow? Uh? What?

Speaker 3 (02:27:29):
What?

Speaker 2 (02:27:29):
What dates?

Speaker 3 (02:27:30):
Are you in town?

Speaker 2 (02:27:31):
Next part? Middletown?

Speaker 3 (02:27:33):
No problems there, next Sunday to sunset? So what was
that to the twenty.

Speaker 2 (02:27:37):
I'll let you know.

Speaker 19 (02:27:38):
Okay, all right, Yes, sir, you've got delays eight up
to eleven in Newtown South twenty five new Haven Slow.

Speaker 2 (02:27:45):
It is a legitimate question. No, Laurie, that's okay. You
got stuff to do. I totally understand it. I hear you, Laurie.
I love this state too.

Speaker 4 (02:27:55):
I don't know. I, like I said, I don't get
it with the whole civil Union thing, and it for
me that really does expose this effort.

Speaker 2 (02:28:09):
They want that word marriage more than they want the rights.

Speaker 4 (02:28:13):
And maybe, you know, maybe I need to ask that
question psychologically, why is that important. It doesn't make sense
to me because I'm saying, if I got all the
rights in a civil union and I don't have, I
can't call it marriage like that's gonna hinder me. It
doesn't make any sense whatever. All right, folks, you'll be

(02:28:37):
good to each other. You know I love you, Stay
out of trouble, and uh, we'll see him in Yanna
