Speaker 3 (00:31):
Turn it up aund like a dream come true or
your dreams.

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 S News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
It's Hondy What a Roller's favorite Names of the week?
What's going on on you?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Skelly wats Nut Megga on across the fruited Plane? How
I actual boy?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
You know who it is?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Your friend and mine? It's Reesa on the radio on
w t i C News Talk ten eighty. Always a
pleasure to be here. The boy has left. He is
on a plane going. Come out, applause. Where are you there?

Speaker 5 (01:24):
You go?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
He is on a jet plane.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Don't know when he'll be back again, but he'll be
in Connecticut the next time around, so you'll get to
hang out with him. There. He is gone back to
his girlfriend and his little EATYBD job at ihop. And
that's rude. I shouldn't say that, calling it an IDYBD job.
That's so mean spirited. Don't don't do that to your kids.

(01:51):
Don't call it a little job don't do that. I
used to get I used to get mad when people
used to say it to me. You know, you got
your little job. It's some demeaning don't do that. Now
I'm doing it and not have to correct myself. It's
been an interesting a couple of weeks with him. He
made some new friends, the kids across the street. And
now I feel bad because we're going to move and

(02:12):
he won't be able to see them for at least
another what two years, So that's you know, it's sad,
but it's mintersweet. I'm glad they got along. They had
a really really good time together. Yesterday, it went to
the mall, as kids do. It was nice to see them,
do you know teenage stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
They came back and he had he Actually this was crazy,
but the boy came home yesterday and he was excited
to show me a Vinyl album. He was like, hey,
look I got And his favorite rapper is this guy
m F. Doom, who just passed away not too long ago.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
I knew him. The rapper known as MF.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Doom we used to go by the name of KMD
back when I was a kid. He was with a
group called Third Base with their first single, gas Face. Yes,
I'm telling some stuff, but a lot of you out
there you remember everything i'm telling you about right now.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
He changed his name to M F.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Doom, and he had all of these independent albums, and
he passed away a couple of years ago. And to
see the eighteen year old boy into somebody who's from
my era was an interesting thing. And then to come
home with a vinyl and reading the back of it,
as we were just talking about the other day, it's
nice to know that that has not left.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Us as a psyche right like who we are.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's a beautiful thing and it's a brilliant thing that
just expands beyond generation, so that it was hard warming
to see that. So in one way, I'm sad to
see him go because I like his company. He's fun,
he's great to debate with. As a young mind of
mush calling himself a socialist, it's hilarious, but it's nice

(03:53):
to debate with him.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
He actually owned me on one.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Topic, which one day I will reveal as soon as
I can get over the embarrassment.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
But now he's gone, and.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Like I said, it's been asweet because he's gone, So
I don't get to have that exchange with him. It's like,
you know, having a young kid in the house, bantering
back and forth, a teenager. But I also get my
own bathroom back. I can't I can't tell you enough
what it was like to share a bathroom with that woman.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
I'm married too.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
She said to me when she was going to take
him to the airport, She goes, you have one job today.
Your job is to move the hell out of my bathroom.
And of course I didn't do it, and so when
she just got back home, she made me do it
before the show. So, yes, all of my stuff is
out of her bathroom and I'm back in my own bathroom, which.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Is the general bathroom. What did you say? Yeah, She's screaming,
thank God to me.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Right now anyway, I have to talk about something, and
my wife was having an issue yesterday that made me
think of today's monologue and have being dealt with this.
It was what really inspired it. Because you ever have

(05:07):
somebody in your life that just nitpicks at you, and
for the ladies out there, and maybe even for some
of the men, you have an ex wife that you
still have to deal with because there are kids involved,
and they still find this incessant need to pike at
you about stuff and behave in a certain way that

(05:28):
doesn't make sense. Well, my wife was going through that
with her ex husband, the boy's father, and it was
really eating at her because this text exchange that they
were having was really ticking her off. And my response
to it was, why are you upset? He has no

(05:49):
significance in your life at all? The boys eighteen years old,
In no way what he has to say should even
affect you or infect you in any way. And as
she was telling me about what the exchange was, I
kept saying to myself, well, it seems like he's injecting
himself into a discussion that has nothing to do with him.
And then I thought about it. That's kind of the

(06:13):
place where we are everywhere right now. I just noticed
it in a post that I put yesterday. I took
yesterday's monologue, I spliced it up and I posted it yesterday. Craigfishbine,
representative of Craigfishbine, even reposted it today on X.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
About Governor Lamont standing.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
There talking about health care for legals while you got
a bunch of you know, women with type two diabetes
surrounding him, and I get this message from of course,
you know whom where he's upset that I had the
audacity to express my opinion, which is all the ways

(06:59):
the case.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
But listen to this.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
This is the most important thing to recognize. What did
we see immediately after the death of Charlie Kirk. We
even saw it before that, with even Donald Trump talking
about anything, talking about how wrong it was for Colin
Kaepernick to take a knee during the national anthem, and

(07:25):
everyone in the world had to chime in. But before
I get there, I want to go back. I remember
a day when if you were an environmentalist, you recycled,
and you just recycled. There was a time when you

(07:49):
cared about the whales and you went out and protested
whale killing. I remembermember a time when mothers against drunk
driving did everything they could to bring awareness. But they
didn't stop off at every bar telling you not to

(08:12):
drink and drive. They just brought awareness, but they minded
their own damn business. Whatever it was that they supported,
they supported. Hey, I don't like the fossil fuel industry.
You know what I'm going to do. I'm gonna buy
a Prius. And you did that and you drove your prius.
The rest of us we would give you the middle

(08:34):
finger as you drove bias. But whatever, the bottom line was,
you were doing your part.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
What about the AIDS epidemic? What did you all do?

Speaker 3 (08:44):
You wore the Amphi pin and then something happened. It
happened in a Seinfeld episode to show you exactly what
was happening.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
You all remember the episode.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Kramer was in the AIDS walk doing his civic duty,
supporting a cure for.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
AIDS, and he said, no, I don't want to wear
the pin.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
And the episode was emblematic of where we were as
a society. Don't know, he doesn't want to wear the pin.
Hey you see that guy, Hey, Joe, he doesn't want
to wear the pin. Hold does they want to wear
their pin? And then all of us had to. It
became a from It went from a personal expression of

(09:37):
who you are.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
To telling everybody else what they had to do.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Vegetarians it wasn't enough for them to not eat meat.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
You can't eat meat.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
People who didn't smoke cigarettes, it wasn't enough for them
not to smoke.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
It was you can't smoke either here, there or everywhere
outside dining couldn't smoke a cigarette outside in the d
didn't want to smoke inside?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Can I smoke outside?

Speaker 7 (10:08):
No?

Speaker 4 (10:08):
You can't smoke around this two foot fence area.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
That's still outside. Hey, but the place isn't enclosed, Yes,
but it's a no smoking outside area. It got ridiculous.
It's always been ridiculous, and it game getting worse and
worse and worse.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Now, let's bring it back forward to Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Charlie Kirk is murdered in front of thousands, and a
bunch of nobodies took it upon themselves to talk about
Charlie Kirk, what he stood for and what he said,
and made it about them. Do you remember the new
Town woman was her name Slaughter, Danielle Slaughter, loser.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
She made it about her? And how did she make
it about her?

Speaker 3 (10:59):
When Charlie Kirk was talking about Michelle Obama, Katanji Brown Jackson,
and Kamala Harris, Slaughter said, he was talking about my mama.
He don't know Yo mama. I don't know Yo mama.
We don't know Yo mama. We don't care about Yo mama.
But you had to make it about her, which is

(11:21):
in essence what It's always been about you folks having
to inject yourself into things you don't need to. And
what it's all about is real simple. It is an
acknowledgment of your insignificance. Be see, as I said before,
when you just used to do the thing that you

(11:43):
supported by the prius wear the pin, that wasn't enough.
Someone gave you the idea that you were more important,
or you should be more important than you already are
not accepting the fact that you may be insignificant and
all of this, and because of your incessant need to
be seen or to make the tragedy about you, you

(12:10):
start changing the headings on your social media page.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
I stand with France. I stand with I don't know
whatever cause.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
It is you started changing your and I remember when
what's his name, the comedian jessel Neck? Is that his name,
Andrew jessel Neck. I think that's the name of the
comedian he had. He has a comedy special called Thoughts
in Prayers. I love that piece because, by the way,

(12:41):
he's absolutely funny. But at the end he's talking about
thoughts and prayers. When people were changing their Facebook pages
and their social media of pages to talk about or
to express their particular feelings about whatever's.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Going on in the world. And he makes a very
very good h.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Analogy or a dissertation of that problem, that that problem
that's going on in our society.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
And that is.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
What you're really saying when you say I stand with
this or I stand with that, is you're.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Saying, don't forget about me. I'm here, don't.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
You see me?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
And that's all it is. It's finding tragedy.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Or some issue and trying to get notoriety for yourself
about it. But when the real chips are on the line,
when the real rubber meets the road, you're nowhere to
be fine. That's what wacky Wacky Whitey was about yesterday.
Here's a woman, you know, DiAngelo, who's made a career

(13:52):
out of telling everybody else how it is they should
live when it comes to racism and systemic racism in
the country.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
But when the rubber met the road, when.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
She actually had to pay reparations, she didn't know what
to do with herself. When she was told, hey, put
your money where your mouth is, she seemed confused, confused
about it. And that's the rest of these folks. When
they come on a page and like this is twisted logic.
This makes no sense what she talking about. Well, if

(14:23):
you don't understand it, leave it alone. If you don't
like what you're hearing, walk away. But you can't deep
down what you need is to make it about you.
You are looking at something finding your outrage. Well, I

(14:44):
don't think I like this. I'm going to make this
an issue for me. How dare you? I'm offended?

Speaker 4 (14:52):
So what? Who were you? Nobody?

Speaker 8 (15:00):
Now?

Speaker 3 (15:00):
If that hurts a lot of people's feelings, the only
thing I can say to you is so what?

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Who cares?

Speaker 3 (15:10):
That's something you'll have to deal with with your sponsor
or therapist or close friend you tell your intimate secrets to.
I don't really really care about people coming on on
my page and being outraged by something I say.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
I really don't care.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Your incessant need to be relevant means nothing to me, nothing,
And you whining and crying about it, or getting offended
when you're called a whiner. For when you start losing
your ish because somebody called you a whiner, I know
what the problem is.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
You don't like being diagnosed. Stop whining.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
If you really want to change the world, do the
thing you were doing before acting, not screaming.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Doers do whiners whine.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
We've become a society of a bunch of people who
just want to run their jibs, feign some sort of outrage,
change their Facebook posts, but they don't ever get out
on the road and put the rubber to it.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
That's what I do here. So yes, my opening.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Monologues long winded and in some cases kind of whinding,
but the bottom line is, no one will ever accuse
me of not putting my money where my mouth is.
My feet always touched the road, and I always put

(16:50):
the skin in the game.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
That's necessary.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Perhaps you should follow by example, because again I wouldn't
ask you to do something I'm not with to do myself.
So get out of here, scram go out there and
make some changes, do a little more than putting a
ribbon on your lapel.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Go get dirty. We'll be back. It's Resa or Radio
on WTIC News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
I wanted to ask this question, and the number has
jumbled all over the place, So throughout the show, when
you can call in or you can't get on the
chat room, please do.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Because I don't need the number now.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
But if you know the number, think about that number
with what I'm about to say, how many illegals came
into the country under the Biden administration based upon numbers
that were I don't know by whomever gives those numbers,
be it the Department of Homeland Security, you know, whatever

(17:54):
the case may be.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
What were the numbers.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Some people have said it was ten million, some people
have said there's been as many as twenty million. And
again we're talking about in four years time. I started
to think about this because I was watching this video
by this kid, I think his name is Nate Friedman,
and I want to go over a couple of things

(18:18):
that you and I all saw in real time. We
saw people coming across the border. They were considered parolees.
A lot of them stayed in Texas, but many of
them were shipped off to dozens of different places. At
one point, there were only two places everyone was going,

(18:40):
Chicago and New York City.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
By the hundreds of.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Thousands, they were going to those two destinations, but we
know they went to other places. They went to Portland, Oregon,
they went to Washington State. We know they went to Denver, Colorado.
In other parts of we know they also went to Florida.

(19:06):
We know that the Biden administration was flying them from
their home countries into places like Westchester, New York, in
the middle of the night, early morning, two three am
flights when the New York posts caught them.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Another people caught them on camera.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
They caught them on They say, no, no, we're not
supposed to tell no, no, no, nobody knows we're doing this.
But at last count I remember it being somewhere in
between ten twelve million, maybe even twenty million. Now, for
those of you who do have the number and you
get it to me, or even if you call in
and tell me the number, it's not important that we
know it. Now, I want you to think about that

(19:42):
number like a magic trick. Now, I want you to
think about this. Who are the bozos that are telling
us that these folks are paying into the system. Who
are the people telling us that those folks are providing

(20:03):
tax dollars to the system. How can both be true?
They just got here, and when they did get here
in Chicago, they were working their butt off to get
these folks jobs. In fact, you might even remember that
the Biden administration was telling a lot of folks that
the job numbers that they were given right.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
The job numbers that we were giving that we now.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Know were bubbkis eight hundred thousand, a million and a
half all gone zero, not even credible numbers. No, no
credible numbers.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Of those people.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
And remember the illegals came in within the last four
to five years. How could they have possibly been contributing
to the tax revenue in the country. We were putting
them up in hotels, they were staying in some of
these camps. They were putting up.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
Ten cities for them in Randall Park.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
They were housing them in the hotels all all over
the place, and plush hotels, providing.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Them with food and far more.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Weren't they How could these folks be contributing to the
taxes of this country.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
It's impossible.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
And we know for a fact that these folks were
getting Medicare because this guy, Nate Friedman, this kid, he
asked them, he.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Asked all of them.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Now, this is going to be horrible because I'm trying
to translate this, so you're gonna hear my voice as
a translator.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
On this video. He did not too long ago.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Listen, I know that they FEMA was giving hundreds of
millions of dollars to the Roosevelt and other migrant shelters.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Are you feeling cared for in the shelter?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
We have Medicaid for example. They also give you food,
personal items, the basics, the usual basic items they always
give you at the hotels.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Did you have to pay to have your child here
in America? No? Everything was free.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Did you guys get any medical assistance in the shelter?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Do they provide it to the babies? Yes, the babies.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yes, they did give me that car that was blue
and yellow.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Medicaid. Are you getting childcare inside of the shelter. Do
they help you take care of the child? Yes, the
food and also they give her some diapers. Thank god.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
They helped me get medical insurance and most importantly, they
have helped me to get my ID card. They helped
me obtain a silent. How exactly are these folks paying
into the system. They've had everything provided to them by

(22:49):
the taxpayer in the millions, folks, millions, What.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Do they contributed? Nothing? Who says that they are.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
They told us that these folks were paying rent taxes
there they're also talking about sales tax. But they said
that these folks were also contributing actual tax money through
Iti n numbers.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
But we know they all didn't have jobs. They couldn't have.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
We know those job numbers are nonsense. Now they are nonsense.
Now all those job numbers that we used to get
during remember that that was the reason why this labor
official was fired. Everybody lost their minds about. But then
they actually saw the numbers were popkinss. So everything that

(23:41):
we were told and everything that we constantly get told
about their contributions, well they paid taxes too, how.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
How all of them?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
At the same time, The New York Post, Laurie writes,
had estimated seven point two during Biden. I don't trust
any numbers because they claimed Obama deported that much, right,
But that's because they fudged the reporting process. Jason says
it was eighteen to twenty million according to his number.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
But again, you're.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Telling me that eighteen to twenty million jobs were filled
and the Biden administration didn't count that.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
I mean, they lied about everything. Why didn't they just tell.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Us that they should have told us that, Yeah, because
of the illegals, we got eighteen to twenty million people hired.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
But no, No, the numbers.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
That they were both bragging about was just under a million,
if some cases a little bit more than a million.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Now they're all gone.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Turns out those those jobs vanished into thin air because
they never existed. So who's trying to convince me that
they're contributing. Who's gonna do it now? I'm dying to
hear from them, because I had plenty of people calling.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Up here saying, but yeah, but but yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
But.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
It doesn't make sense. They're telling you that everything that
they have is being provided for FEMA money. They're wick
of what's the name checks? And don't forget the EBT
cards that they were getting with some thirteen fourteen to
sixteen thousand dollars on them once they got them giving.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Them rent vouchers.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
I mean, were they counting these folks contribution to rent
tax out of taxpayer money? It just it was just
a circular sort of movement of money. Somebody's got to
explain that to me. They don't contribute anything. That conversation's
done done so nada. You can't have all of those

(25:55):
people come in here and all of a sudden, I mean,
nothing makes sense. I thought what about that today? And
I was watching that video and just.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Going, yeah, what does that mean that they were contributing.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
No, we lost money, folks. Oh and then there's the real,
real number, the number that really makes all the sense
in the world, the national debt. You would think with
the influx of all of these people into the country
who were contributing to the tax revenue that we never

(26:27):
had before. Remember, we're talking about a lethal injection of
more workers who were clearly contributing to the tax burden
in this country, why did the national debt and increase
so viciously?

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah? Yeah, that reason, Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
The one you're thinking of right now, the one you're
yelling at the radio about.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yes, that's the reason.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Let's take a few calls before we get up out
of here with the commercials.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Let's take John.

My name is not Tom anything. I'm not Uncle Tom,
I'm not Tom Foolery. I'm not Tom and Jerry. I'm
Reese on the radio. I'm not like anybody.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Okay, I'm saying you should be stressing the education.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
More than so called tax I never do what I'm told.
I never do what i'm told, John, I never do
what I'm told. I'm a grown ass man.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
Should I'm not telling you to talk about about?

Speaker 8 (28:30):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah, okay, well, well you know what. Listen to me.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Put it in an application for my show producer, and
then you can tell me what I should talk about.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
On my show.

Speaker 10 (28:38):
I have a job, Tom, I don't have.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
My name's not Tom, sir, like'll pardon me, pardon me.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
I made a mistake.

Speaker 11 (28:46):
I'm I.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
I want to discuss education in this country.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I think I'm talking about taxes right now, John.

Speaker 12 (28:53):
Well, Bill, let me put this on you.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
Who rebuilt orans after Hurricane Katrina?

Speaker 4 (28:59):
The tax dollars.

Speaker 7 (29:05):
Even gallum Mexicans slumbers?

Speaker 4 (29:08):
And so what, So what what are you missing? What
are you missing about?

Speaker 5 (29:15):
So?

Speaker 4 (29:15):
What? What are you missing?

Speaker 8 (29:16):
John?

Speaker 4 (29:17):
What are you missing about? What are you missing about?

Speaker 9 (29:19):
So?

Speaker 3 (29:19):
What are you suggesting to tell me that if we
didn't have illegals rebuilding that town.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
It would have never been rebuilt.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
I doubt it.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
No, No, I get your doubt. I get your doubt.
But I haven't heard any confirmation from you. You want
to give me some confirmation. You're saying that without illegals,
we wouldn't even build houses. You're saying, you're saying, without illegals,
we wouldn't even get our food on our plate?

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Right?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Are you a hang?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
John?

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Nobody would put the food on our table.

Speaker 7 (29:45):
Hurricane Katrina.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
That's it, Hurricane Katrina. What do you think that's like?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
The like that's the we wouldn't have a country without
the laborer of illegals'sok.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
Let's look at the LA Olympics.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
John, let's let's let's let's be one hundred percent honest.
You're advocating for slave labor and you're saying we couldn't.

Speaker 7 (30:06):
Build I'm not advocating room that. I'm advocating that US
citizens should have got those jobs where.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Oh, well, that's what you should have said, John. I
gotta take a break, Jo, John, I gotta take a break.
I gotta take a break, man, I gotta take a break.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Oh, these people again with the opening monologue, these entitled
folks that's just coming here.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Want your son be talking about Reese?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
I'll tell you I don't have my own radio show,
and I know you work really really hard for yours,
But what your son talk about. We'll take a break.
We'll be back, more news, more views. Well, I'll take
a couple more phone calls when we return.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Stand by. It's Rees on the radio WTIC news Talk, Dannady.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
It's Reese on the radio on news t w T.
I see hey.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
I want to give a nice shout out to Albert
who's in the chatroom. On resnradio dot com. Thank you, sir,
very very kind of you to write that, and uh,
don't let it be your last time reaching out on
the chat room. Anytime you want to opine. I want
to hear your opinions. It's nice to hear your benything.
Even though I gave a last guy a hard time, I.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Just owned up. I don't like that, just sort of like,
this is what you should be talking about. I'm like
I put together in a show.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
It takes me five hours to put together this show,
getting audio sound bites, doing editing and all that other
stuff to then do another four hour show. It's nine hours,
nine hours, and then tells me after I get on
the air, just what you should be talking about. What
I'm giving him hell for that, Just like I put

(31:34):
in a lot of work. Can you just do what
I'm doing right now? Let's go to the calls real quick.
Hey Franny, how are you? Oh my gosh, that's me, Yes, Franni, Hi.

Speaker 13 (31:46):
Hi, But how did you know that my name is Franny?

Speaker 3 (31:49):
It shows up on the phone if you may have
called before. It sort of has its own like caller
ID thing, Like if you've called before, it just remembers
that computers.

Speaker 13 (31:58):
You know, Oh, I guess, I guess I am caught.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Oh my gosh, that's okay, what a jazz.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
You know.

Speaker 13 (32:07):
I have wanted to talk to you ever since you
started with t c AM to tell you that, yeah,
sometimes your words are rough and people don't want to
hear what you have to say. That people need to
hear what you have to say because at the same

(32:31):
time that you can be almost tutorial in a sense,
the information that you that you so freely share, the
information that we have never been blessed in this area

(32:51):
with this type of rapport. It is Uh, we don't.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Have to agree.

Speaker 13 (32:57):
It's up to us as to whether or not we
agree with what you're saying. The mere fact that you're
saying it opens our ears and opens our minds and
allows us to think and share. And it's a tough
world out there, and it's great to have all of
it's great to have both sides of information and not

(33:20):
just something that we may think is going on. We
want to know things that we know are going on.
And you you're doing a wonderful job. And God bless you,
and God bless the station. And the day that you
started with t C because when I first heard your voice,
I thought, this man better get a job on this

(33:44):
show because we need him bad.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
I appreciate that, Freddie, not that they didn't try. They
wanted desperately, but things had to fall into place. And
you know, God's work is God's work, and I don't
question it.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
I just adhere. So I totally appreciate. But it's very,
very kind of you to.

Speaker 13 (34:02):
Say you're more than welcome. And I apologize for taking
time away from your show to say this, but I
felt that after listening to the previous call, that this
was a good time for me to call and say
what I've wanted to say for a while.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Franny, that it means everything to me that you share it,
and not just because you share it about me. It's
you I think you expressed, and it seems like you've
been listening since I first joined, when I was filling.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
In, that you are expressing.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
You are expressing what my mission statement was, and that
was I don't want you to agree.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
I want you to think that's all.

Speaker 13 (34:44):
Wow, And that's exactly what you create. You create the
environment for people's minds to do as they will and
hopefully open up and take in some information and h
seem more wise.

Speaker 7 (35:01):
Yeah, and watchful.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Yeah, that's also true. Yeah, it's nothing wrong with being watchful.
You know.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
You know who said something interesting and I didn't even
I was josh with with Mark Christopher in the BPS
Traffic Center. I always tell him about the music that
I didn't listen to that my mom enjoyed, and one
of the groups is Parliament Funkadelic. And I got the
opportunity to actually speak to George Clinton and in his
haze because I think that he may have been under

(35:28):
the influence at the time, but he said something that's
lasted with Yeah, but he said something that has lasted
for I think my entire career, and that is when
he said, think it ain't illegal yet, and I went, wow,
like that made so much sense to me. I've been

(35:48):
living that one sort of proverb, if you will, my
entire career because he's right, think it ain't illegal yet.
And until they do, that's what we have to do.

Speaker 13 (35:57):
We have to keep thinking absolutely absolutely you are. You
are a bright, shining star. And I just pray that
people realize that. And again, they don't have to agree
with what you're saying. That the mere fact that you
are on the air so different from anyone else that

(36:17):
has ever presented to us.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Franny.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Unfortunately, I do have to go to the top of
the hour and I got to get to John silver
or he'll kill me.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
I love you, I will talk to you soon.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Let's get to our newsroom, John Silva, he's waiting in
the wigs.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
In the BPS, I'm sorry, in the WTIC newsroom. It's
Reese on the radio.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Greece on the radio, making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now on wt I see news talk to ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
You know, I gotta admit something weird I thought happened
during the Top of the Hour News with John Silva.
And just to be certain, this is not on John Silva.
He didn't do anything. This was a press release that
was put out, and you know, as they go, you know,
like you read the press releases, you know, as you
get them, because they're news items. And when before the

(37:06):
show began, I heard it and I saw it in
my stack of stuff as well, and so I said,
I didn't think anything of it, and then Don Silva
said it at two o'clock and so I said, wait
a minute, almost certain that there's something wrong with that.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
And it wasn't. How do I put it this way?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
The Connecticut government is taking a victory lap over something
that's already solved. So let me just correct the record. Okay,
Connecticut is not footing the bill for WICK.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
They're not putting out a press relief saying press release saying.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Don't worry, folks, We're going to go into our secret
stash and we're gonna pay for Women Infinite Children payments.
Whoever decided to release that today, just retract it. Why
this simple? The Trump administration is funding the WICK Special

(38:11):
Supplement Nutritions program for Women Infinite Children during the ongoing
goverment shutdown, which began on October first. The White House
has redirected tariff revenue to cover WI costs, preventing the
lapse and benefits from millions of low income families. This
includes transfer of funds to sustain the program for the

(38:32):
foreseeable future, using a one hundred and fifty million dollar
contingency fund as the bridge as a bridge while negotiations continue.
So Connecticut talking about we gotcha, No you don't. It's
been covered. So again, this is what I what I
said to opening monologue, injecting yourself into something that you

(38:56):
didn't think anybody else was paying a send? Did you
think we didn't know.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
That?

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Donald Trump says I would never allow mothers or expected
mothers or mothers with newborns. I'm the pro life president.
Do you think I would allow them not to be
able to do Do you think I would ever allow
it that they would.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Not be able to feed their children? No?

Speaker 3 (39:17):
So we handled it like an e split and then
they put out this press release and saying we gotcha.
Where can the savior stop it? It's embarrassing and there's
some lazy people out there.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
You know who you are.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
You were probably saying, see, sir, Donald Trump is causing
so many problems. These mothers were not gonna be able
to feed their goods. Ah, I'm sorry. I hate having
to do it. It's like these things are self owned.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
That's all they are.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
There are a bunch of self goals. Knock it off,
get it, get it together.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Still some headlines.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
A hatefield, New Jersey man was arrested before the annual
Red Mass in Washington, d C. He had at least
two hundred explosives in a tent outside and a notebook
declared hatred for Ice and the Supreme Court justices who
were due to arrive at the Catholic Church.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
New court document show.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Lewis Jerry, forty one years old, had pitched his tent
on the steps of the Cathedral of Saint Matthew and
allegedly told cops who approached him, you might want to
stay back and call the federales. I have explosives. This,
according to the filing obtained by The Washington Post. During
attempted negotiations with the officers, he alleged, he allegedly handed

(40:43):
him a notebook in which he expoused hatred for the
Catholic Church, Supreme Court justices Jews, and the US Immigration Customs.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
And Enforcement Yes Ice.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
In the document, Dolly Parton's sister is clearing the air
on the country music star's health. On Tuesday, Freedom Parton
shared a statement on Facebook when she asked fans to
pray for Dolly, who's seventy nine years old and one
of my favorite singers of all time, who recently postponed
her Las Vegas residency due to health issues, But in
a follow up statement, Free to clarified the extent of

(41:17):
Dolly's illness and why she shared her initial message. Dolly's rep,
Ollie Rowland Hey Roland, gave an update on the singer's
health on Tuesday. He said, quote, it's just the kidney
stones and the procedures she needs to resolve those. It
looks like her sister posted and it got a quit
quite a bit blown out of proportion.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Weirdly.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont is also in my headlines. He's warning,
this one's an odd one, folks, This one is an
odd one. Ned Lamont is in the New York Post
because if a conversation he had with Breitbart, which he's
actually on a lot, he talks about he's on the

(42:00):
Bloomberg Report a lot. Let me see if I could
get the SoundBite here. That's uh, here it is anyway,
here's a report. Ned Lamont is saying that fellow Democrat
Zoron Mamdani could cripple Wall Street if he wins the
New York City mayor's race.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
He said that the fallout could spill across state lines.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Lamont said that he was worried about Mam Donnie's victory
and how we can up end the financial sector, both
in New York and in the constitution state. In an
interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, he said, New York City
is a financial capital of the world, and we're a
big piece of it here. I want to make sure
that the next mayor understands how important New York City

(42:38):
is to the system and that important that's important to Connecticut.
He thinks that the financial industry appreciates the certainty of
stability in Connecticut. They know that the state's going to
have their taxes go up a little bit, and that
is actually supported by Fox News report.

Speaker 14 (42:55):
New York City for the first time ever, this year
has seen a net loss of financial jobs, and business
leaders are warning that this problem could get worse depending
on the policies of the person elected in November. Take
a look, we lost eighty four hundred financial sector jobs
this year alone, and those jobs are headed elsewhere. Since

(43:17):
twenty nineteen, financial sector jobs have grown by just four
percent here in New York. Texas is coming for our
crown two metro areas, surging by double digits for financial
sector job growth. Because of this, JP Morgan now employs
more workers in Texas than in New York.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
That's a bad sign.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
What's also a bad sign is what Lamont is really
revealing here is that the businesses are not coming to Connecticut.
He knows that, and he wouldn't be concerned about Mum
Donnie and calling it out unless he was concerned, because again,
I would just benefit from that, right. I'm the guy
who's supposed to say, ah, you know what, they leave
New York City, they can come up here.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
But he's not.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
He seems to be concerned. Now I'm I'm gonna go
out on a limb here. Many people may take that,
you know, sort of push back against Mom Donnie as
an endorsement of Andrew Cuomo.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Not certain yet it may be. But what I truly
do believe is that.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Lamont may be showing his hand here on whether or
not he's running for re election.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
It just doesn't This is not something that you usually do,
and you don't chime in like this, So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
We'll know.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
I guess in a bit when he makes a decision
like I could. I could be wrong. Now it's time
for the stupidest thing I read today.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Yes, you do.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
He could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth. Uh in.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Something I have to admit is the craziest thing today,
and that's Greta Thunberg.

Speaker 15 (44:59):
Oh damn you.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Ah, well, Gretta, it's your fault, it's not mine.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Don't be mad at me. Greta Thunberg is a little
bit of trouble.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
She's been blasted as an embarrassment after she tried to
highlight the suffering of Palestinian prisoners and a social media
post but used a photo of an emaciated Israeli hostage
who was forced to dig his own grave. The show
voting climate activists had included a skeletal image of the

(45:30):
hostage Ivatar David. In an Instagram post on Monday about
the alleged mistreatment of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, she said, quote,
the suffering of Palestinian prisons is not a matter of opinion.
It is a fact of cruelty and dehumanization. Humanity cannot
be selective. Justice cannot have borders. That's what she wrote,

(45:55):
while she posted a picture of an emaciated and about
to be.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Buried Israeli Yeah, there you go. Couldn't be more stupid.
But that's that's Greta. Oh damn, you don't be mad
at me.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Don't be mad at me. That's your own stupidity. I
did so many stories about her on my podcast. People
would send me notes all the time, do you know
she's autistic? And I go, so, I'm like, so, I'm like,
what is that supposed to mean?

Speaker 4 (46:30):
To me? It is that same it's the same thing.
It's like, how do I put it?

Speaker 3 (46:40):
It's it's like, that's supposed to give people protection from
being called out when they're being you know, stupid criminal,
even like we're supposed to treat them as special needs
when they say something patently.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Dumb with not all like, do you know she has autism?

Speaker 3 (47:02):
And my response to that is and this means what,
well you have to understand what am I supposed to
understand that she has autism? And this means what? So
she's allowed to do dumb things? And I wish they
would just say that. I wish you would, all of you.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
I wish you just.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Would just say, Okay, look, because he's in a wheelchair,
he's allowed to say dumb stuff. And if you criticize him,
you're criticizing his handicap. And my view on that is
that the only thing. This handicap is that guy's brain

(47:39):
and until they give a placard for that, which, by
the way, every spotted Walmart would be a handicap.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Parking space. Nothing against Walmart, nothing against Walmart.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Before people start writing in, I'm just saying any parking
lot for that matter. Michael p says she definitely has
a touch of the ism. Again, I'm just saying it's
not good. I don't blame me. I have nothing to
do with it. Speaking of I wanted to get this
like earlier. Let me do this real quick. I mentioned

(48:14):
it two days in a row. I never got to it.
Andrew Cuomo was on the View a couple of days back,
if not last week, and he said something interesting that
and I really really thought this. It was a smart strategy,
but I don't know if it'll work.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Ill.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
I still think it was smart. I just don't know
whether or not it would work. He invoked Trump as
a way to get New Yorkers to stop supporting Mom
Donnie and support him, which I get it.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
It's clever, but again, as I said, don't think it'll work.

Speaker 16 (48:45):
Listen real close, I'm asking you questions about whether or not.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
Oh wrong, one I'm sorry, that was the wrong one.
That's that's Chris Cuomo. I need to go to Andrew Cuomo.
This is Andrew.

Speaker 11 (48:53):
Croomoh, and this is exactly right. He wants Mandanmi two reasons. One,
going into the terms, he will take a picture of
Mandamie runn around the country and say, here's what happened
to the Democrats. They are now communists.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
They hate the police.

Speaker 11 (49:10):
They legalized prostitution, legalized drugs. They want to like this
democrat no experience whatsoever. Being mayor of New York would
be his first real job.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Okay, she's making a good point right this time he's
saying Trump wants mam Donnie. So that's an appeal to
the people who are voting for Mam Donnie. You hate Trump, right,
that's the reason why you like mum Donnie. And Trump
really wants maum Donnie. He really does. So if you
vote for Mam Donnie, you're giving Trump what he wants.
Now again, I'm not gonna lie when it comes to
Mamdani supporters and the progressive left, they hate Trump.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
It is a brilliant appeal to them.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
On Andrew Cuomo's part, if he weren't so toxic though
it would work with anybody.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
Else, but I get it. It worked.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
It would work a lot of people right now when
they hear that, they're probably going if Trump is saying
that he wants it, it's quite possible that we shouldn't
give it to Trump.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
But then he does this okay.

Speaker 15 (50:10):
And that I'll send the national troops in because of
the crime rate.

Speaker 11 (50:14):
Second move, it's good for Donald Trump because it's the
excuse he needs to take over New York, which he
said he will do. He said, if they elect this person,
then I Donald Trump, I'm going to have to step
in take over New York to protect the good people
of New York.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
It's a good idea for Andrew Cuomo to convey this
to the voters. Could it could change things. He's got
enough time. If he keeps repeating this, it could put
a little bit of like a little shive in the campaign.
I mean it figuratively.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
Of Mam donnie. People start having doubts.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Yeah, well, what if he does do all of the
radical things and Trump tries to exert his executive power,
Can mom Donnie take it?

Speaker 8 (51:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (51:06):
You know what, I don't want Trump to take over
New York.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
He could win he's winning so many times in these uh,
these courtrooms.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
I don't know if I can. I can, I can
actually risk it, So I think it's a pretty good strategy.
I don't know, maybe it is. Let's go to the phones, Rob,
what's going on, sir? I'm good, sir. What's up?

Speaker 7 (51:25):
I love your show. I love what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
You are a mastermind.

Speaker 7 (51:28):
I just have one small suggestion.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
Okay, off a bird.

Speaker 17 (51:33):
I know you do Negro nonsense on Thursdays.

Speaker 7 (51:36):
What about Wacky White Chick Wednesdays?

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Well, I will do.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
First of all, I'm doing Wacky Whitey on Tuesday, but
I will include women as I did yesterday with Beverly Dane.

Speaker 8 (51:49):
Hey, we're equal opportunity offenders here.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Well did you seek man?

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Did you see yesterday's Wacky Whitey did? Why the way
did you hear?

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Not?

Speaker 7 (51:59):
I I feel bad I did not?

Speaker 5 (52:01):
No?

Speaker 4 (52:01):
No, okay, go back listen.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
This is the reason why you got to either download
the Audience affcle to WTIC dot com or resent or
radio dot com and go check it out.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
It's there.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Do that.

Speaker 4 (52:09):
It's really really a lot of people like that. I
got a great feedback from it, so you will enjoy
it and we love you. Thank you, sir much appreciate it.
I appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
You do.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
Let's go, Hey, Georgie, what's up?

Speaker 5 (52:22):
Sorry, Hi Reese, you're an opening monologue. The question is
what where where does the Democrat Party get its revenue
that brought in twenty million illegal immigrants. Yeah, and you
have to ask the questions. Uh, you know, you can

(52:42):
play the senses from the Godfather. We're talking about we're
talking about the same sources that run the rackets that
run the Democrat Party. We're talking about the unions. We're
talking about both legal and illegal drug trade. We're talking
about the port authorities. You know, the people that bring

(53:04):
you know, uh uh import your goods from the ports.
You know, probably your corporations.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Like you have one organization you're forgetting about.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
There's one there's one establishment in New York that has
a huge role in immigration. In fact, some of them
travel with them for thousands of miles, and that's.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
The u N.

Speaker 5 (53:30):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm forgetting about the insurance companies, the medical
and life insurance companies. They're supporting the Democrat Party. They're
they're all drawing, they're all distributing revenue to the Democrat
Party that the chiefs are going you kill, you kill

(53:51):
the rackets, you kill the money, the sources of money. Yeah,
and the Democrat Party dies on the vine.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
How do you feel how do you feel about Donald
Trump sort of suggesting in recent days on truth Social
that some of those folks as you're talking about, especially
those who are are aiding in a betting in some
of the violence that's happening, you know, against ice agents,
that he's going to get the Department of Justice to
start going out the going after the funders. And not
just about those things, but as you talked about, with

(54:20):
like getting illegals into the country and sort of subverting
you know, law in the United States. What do you
do you think that he's going to make any headway
with that.

Speaker 5 (54:28):
Here, here's what here's what we're talking about. We're so
much clubs. Yeah, we're so much organized organized crime. And
what you have to do is go into the I
don't know, the cafeterias or wherever wherever they're meeting and
bust them up. That simple.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
I think, well, first we have to identify them, George, like,
once we identify them, because the news media, I can
tell you if the news media goes apoplectic at they
mentioned and the mere mention.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
Of some of these groups.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Then we know that we're above the target, right because
when James Comey got indicted, what did the left do?
The news media went nuts, as they're going nuts today
during his hearing, like they're lost control. And NBC reporter
had the audacity to say on the air, I don't
exactly see what they're bringing him in for.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
I'm like, it's not your job to do that.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
It's your job to just say that he came in
and pled not guilty and went home at race.

Speaker 5 (55:23):
Could I change the subject for just a medicine?

Speaker 4 (55:25):
No, I can't. I can't. I gotta get ready. I
gotta get up out of here, George. But I appreciate you, sir,
thank you. No, I no more changing the subject. I
used to do that all the time. I was so
kind about it too.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
And I remember getting off the air one day and
I was just like, you know, they're changing the subject
a lot, mew on me a lot. I said, do
you want to talk about this? And I was like, well,
you gotta take ownership of your show.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
And it was very in the beginning.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
I was green because I kind of felt like, you know,
you guys missed, you know, what the show used to
be like, and then I had to come in and
completely change it and do it my way. And I
felt a little guilty about it because I care about you.
Don't get me wrong, I love you guys, but I
did have to stand on my own two and say, okay, listen,
this is the reason on the radio show. So I

(56:10):
appreciate those of you who have been understanding of that.
I know that you know I'm gonna have to wean
some people off the needle. That's just touch and go.
I'm just gonna have to do it over and over again. Anyway,
we'll take a break. By the way, we do have guests.
We got Jason Wang and we have John Lyons. They
are running for town council in West Hartford, but they

(56:34):
are here are gonna be coming here in a little
bit to talk about a Democrat running for town council
in West Hartford by the name of Lisa Lazarus, and
what this woman has been doing in a private life
runs against everything the Democrat Party has told us everything
and involves the most vulnerable people in the state, the

(56:58):
poor and the black and brown we'll have that for
you in a little bit. Jason Wang and John Lyons
joining us at four h five. Stand by for that
and much much more when we return. It's reached on
the radio on WTIC Newstalk tennady. It's our birthday.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
WTIC has been on the air for one hundred years
and we don't look a day over ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
We're back Griese on the radio. As I mentioned before,
Jason Wang, John Lyons, running for a town council in
West Hartford, will be on the program at four point
fifteen today, four or five is what we call it here,
but they'll be on to talk about Lisa Lazarus and
what she is doing with low income housing in the

(57:41):
Hartford area, especially as it pertains to slumlords. And it
is really a disgusting story that no one is covering
around and there are a lot of people who have
been affected by this. Did I got to say this
on a personal level.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
I've lived from everything to.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
A horrible apartment to a single room occupancy. I've lived
in a two family house, I've lived in a single
family home, and now I own a home. I've always

(58:24):
lived in what I called an apartment technically as a
grown up, as an adult and two family home. The
only time I lived in a single home was actually
when Roseanne and I got together.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
We rented it a home, an entire home.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Which was interesting. It got me like really excited. I
can't wait to own my own home. And sure enough,
here I am, so I know what it's like to
live in squalor in. My first real apartment in New
York was on Eleventh Street between Avenue B and C.

(59:02):
And when I lived there, Joe Peshe had just gotten
off of Goodfellas and was filming a movie called The
Super down the block on Eleventh Street between Avenue A
and B. And there's a scene that's right on my

(59:22):
corner at a grocery store in the movie. For those
of you who remember The Super, the grocery Store, there
was a grocery store I frequented every day when I
lived on Eleventh between B and C. I have a
great Joe Peschi story, by the way, about that. I
can't say it here because there are explotives and concluded
because you know it's Joe Pesci, but it was good.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
I'll put it to this way.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
Joe Peschi knows me, but anyway, that apartment different today,
that road, if you were to Google Map, it is
a completely different place than where it was when I
moved in. When I lived in it in nineteen ninety
one Eleventh Street, six twenty East eleventh Street. When I

(01:00:07):
lived there, I had a BB gun and I would
sit in my bedroom and shoot rats as they scurried
across my kitchen floor. That was the squalor I was living.
It was my first real apartment in New York City.
Before then, I was CouchSurfing in Manhattan on Avenue D.

(01:00:31):
So when I heard this story and I heard about
what these families were dealing with, I kind of knew
what they were talking about, but not to this extent.
Some of the families in these homes right here in Hartford, folks,
what'd you think about this, your neighbors. Some of the
children are waking up with roaches crawling all over them,

(01:00:55):
rats running all over their home, homes and apartments.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Parents scared that their babies might be bitten because it's
all they could afford.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Some of them are paying rents as little less five
hundred dollars. And I know you might be saying to yourself, well, reason,
we're only paying like five to seven hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
What did they expect. If you are.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Charging them five hundred dollars, that's on you. If you
are charging them seven hundred and fifty dollars, that's on you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
But if you are giving.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
A person an opportunity to live in those apartments on
a month to month basis, you won't even give them
a year lease. Why because you have no intention of
making that place code. And you know that if those
people complain, they'll just get evicted and they will lose
their housing. And you all know housing is scarce at

(01:01:54):
least at that level where these people can afford that.
What they're trying to do is just get a roof
over their babies heads. If they don't have kids. They're
doing whatever they can to just live. But they don't
deserve that, and something must be done. And it sucks
that these folks they're please is falling on left ears.

(01:02:19):
It is not cool that Mayor Arunin does not know
about this. And we're talking about a lot of addresses
in Hartford.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
A lot. We're not talking about a little, a lot,
a lot of addresses.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Some of the addresses we've got over here eight twenty
one Capitol Avenue, eighty two Cabbage Street, uh three point
fifty eight Weathersfield Avenue. These places, and again they're in
Hartford's North End and South end and over.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
At fog Hollow, Frog Hollow.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
Sorry, everybody knows this is going on, and no one's
doing anything about it, and at the same time screaming
we don't have any houses. And then people who are
running for public office are actually facilitating this madness more

(01:03:13):
and more really, and it's it's crazy. You want to laugh,
you want to laugh. One of the organizations that are
alleged to be a part of this, of all things,
it's called Stark Enterprises. People were telling me it was like,
that's pretty ironic, and I was like, yeah, remember when

(01:03:34):
Stark was the bad guy, when he was just selling weapons,
you know, until he got kidnapped. Yeah, this is going
on right under your noses. No one's talking about it, nobody.
How is that possible?

Speaker 4 (01:03:53):
How is it possible that these people and again no voice, nobody's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Stepped is sticking up for them. Oh, I forgot the
most important thing to folks in Connecticut.

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
I did.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
I don't know how I did, probably because I'm usually
not of that mindset. But I should have thought about
this before.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
The victims of this heinous crime black and brown, and
Lisir Lazarus is a black woman.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
And oh how did I forget this? She's running on
a DEI platform. Wow? How is that? How is that possible?

Speaker 18 (01:04:33):
This just for somebody, it boggles the mind, wouldn't boggle yours?
Like I thought, the caring, the nurturery, sticking up for
the for the for the guy who needs help, the underserved.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
I wish I could say what I really want to say.
I wish I could say it just once. I wish
this was cable TV so I could call it. I
wish I could, because that's all they are. And again, look,
I tell I'm gonna say this again to all the
liberals you know who you are who listen to this program,
and say it all the one.

Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Where are you now? Where are you now?

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Go into my inbox, go to my instant message, go
to wherever it is you gotta go. Start telling me
about how you want to help. Start telling me say, hey, Reece,
that's messed up. How can I chip in? How can
I help these people? How can I bring attention to this?
I betchamin. I won't hear from any of you. I
want to hear a word. You'll go complete radio silence

(01:05:39):
on me. And that was what I meant about earlier
in the opening monologue.

Speaker 4 (01:05:44):
You guys don't give a.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Damn Why would you? Why would you when it counts?
You got nothing to say.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
When the rubber meets the road, and these people who
really need help.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
They're being kicked out on their ass, know where to stay,
and the only thing they're asking is not to open
up their cereal boxes and have roaches crawling out of them.
They want their babies to be in a safe place
that they provided for them. They want a sense of
pride and a sense of dignity. What do you got?

(01:06:18):
You got nothing?

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
And remember me, the evil conservative maga guy who's making
fun of illegal immigrants with type two diabetes because I
don't care.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
I don't care about anybody who's on my dime who
can't get healthy.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
What I do care about is people who are.

Speaker 3 (01:06:39):
Actually trying to do something for themselves and they're getting hosed.
Those people count. Those people count because any one of
those folks could be on Section eight and probably get
a palatial place to live, but no, They took their
own money and they tried to live in a place
and all they did was ask, hey, can you fix this?

(01:07:00):
Hey there's mold here, Hey their rats here? And what
they they get for their trouble?

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
You gotta go. My favorite two words spare me. You
don't give a damn you never did. You can't.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
You can't because the true people, the true needy that
are out there, who are right in your face, not
the mythical ones you made up, The real folks who
you can actually help, you can actually get involved with.
You don't move a muscle because most of you are
just fat and lazy anyway. The only thing you want

(01:07:35):
to do is protest behind a keypad. But that's okay.
No one needs you. Just saying no one needs you,
no one asks. We got this, we got this. We
don't need your money, we don't need your time, We
damn sure don't need your headache.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):
So we're good.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Ralo says most of these politicians are full of you know,
can't say on the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
Rather also said it ain't just liberals.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Yeah, and I know a lot of conservatives out there
are so called conservatives. They're not really stepping up either.
This is a winnable argument. You want hundred percent Roo.
There are a lot of people out there who know
that they can actually, they can actually affect some change
out there, and not just with a press release.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
They can get down there.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
They can bring the cameras and say, hey, you really
want to see what these folks are doing. You want
to talk about the housing crisis in here. Look at
what they're doing at these buildings, selling them for one
point two million dollars to slum lords out of state
slum lords. Are they fixing these buildings making them livable? Nope,

(01:08:45):
same status quo month to month. Tenants complain and be gone.
These buildings sit empty, continuing to decay, and they say,
some poor slub. He'll take it or leave it, not
a word. We'll take a break. We'll come back, more news,

(01:09:07):
more views. That we got, weather in traffic as well.
Top of the Hour, and like I said, Jason Wang,
John Lyons, we'll talk about this story with least lazarus
An the slum lords in Connecticut when we return.

Speaker 4 (01:09:19):
It's Rees on the radio on wt I see News
Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
It's Reese on the radio on News Talk ten eighty
w t I see take.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
A couple of minutes on the phones. Let's go to
Robin Meridan.

Speaker 8 (01:09:28):
Hello, sir, Yeah, I appreciate picking up.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
I don't know why do it every time?

Speaker 8 (01:09:36):
I know, I know, I know the other guy said
forty one minutes, that's nothing to wait, and I appreciate
the wait. And you know, don't let no one influence
your show.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
I appreciate you. What do you got you?

Speaker 8 (01:09:48):
But the thing is about the taxes. If you if
I could explain, or you could help me, I think
that's firm. You always say you and me own two
three family homes or side by side. There's three families
in one and there's three families on the other side
by side, and we're getting fifteen hundred dollars a month each.
You and me are no partners, investors or whatever term.

(01:10:12):
And we have a Polish family who are a pairs
in Hartford and but this the child is going to
Trinity College. So the whole family from Poland there on
a visa whatever, and they rent for forty five hundred
a month. Then we get another, then we get another

(01:10:34):
place from Canada. You know, they're working here. They work
for a solar farm, and you're here they're working on
a visa and you know, but they're from Canada and
they're you know. So the two houses, you and me
are getting them forty five hundred for one fifteen fifteen
and fifteen dan we're getting forty five. So we're getting

(01:10:55):
nine thousand dollars a month in more, you and me,
and at the end that comes out to.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
One hundred and eight dollars okay a year.

Speaker 8 (01:11:05):
So then we have to pay. You and me have
to pay water taxes and property taxes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Right who pays that?

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
Well, clearly not our residents. I mean we set the
price of our rent sold.

Speaker 8 (01:11:19):
So you don't think you don't think you and me
are going to take that rent and pay the taxes? No, no, no,
I'm not going to go to the casino.

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
No no, no, of course we're going to pay those taxes.
But what we should do?

Speaker 8 (01:11:30):
Okay, that's that's all I have to say, thank you,
you answered it, and keep up the good work.

Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
Goodbye.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
I don't even know what that was supposed to be.
Was there something deep in that? No? No, if there
was something that was supposed to be deep in that,
I don't know what it was. I really don't. But
whatever I mean, I'm renting my home when I you know,
when I get to Connecticut. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
In our rent is based upon one of the market,
and two it covers our mortgage and other incidentals.

Speaker 4 (01:12:01):
We're still gonna pay.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
The taxes while we don't pay taxes on the home
because Roseanne is a retired veteran, so I don't have
to deal with that. But the bottom line is is
that anybody who rents anything, they take all of that
into consideration.

Speaker 4 (01:12:16):
So I don't know what that. I don't even know
what that was all about. I couldn't tell you at all.
Let me see if I could take Jim in for
a minute and a half. Hello, Jim, Yeah, how you
doing that?

Speaker 7 (01:12:25):
Real quick?

Speaker 12 (01:12:26):
Back about twenty five maybe even longer, there was a big,
big scandal in Connecticut about sex and eight housing and
the most the owners that had had all those properties
that were set up for rent control Section eight. We're
all out of New York.

Speaker 8 (01:12:40):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:12:40):
The owners are basically out of New York, and they
got into the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
You were probably be getting to.

Speaker 12 (01:12:46):
Fixing the apartment something and making sure there wasn't any
problems right, and not one downward spent and uh ever,
and and and then the other side of the coil was,
well they can't keep up with the repairs, etcetera, etcetera excess. Right, yeah,
and what ended up happening, Actually, I don't know what
ended up happening.

Speaker 7 (01:13:05):
It's far as.

Speaker 12 (01:13:08):
The scandal was at their first.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
Jim Tarnet wherever you go when you get your Actually
you're cutting out, Jim, I really, but I'm about to
go to a break anyway. See if you can call
back in at least an hour or so. I want
to hear what you have to say, because we're gonna
we're gonna extend this conversation with Jason Wang and John
Lyons when they get on, So I want to I
want to hear what you have to say.

Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
So give me a holid back. We got to get
to our first checker weather and traffic UH for the day.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
And it looks like Bob Larsen is in for weather.
But I know Mark Christopher's back. He's in the VPS
traffic center.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
How you doing, Bud.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
It's Reese on the radio. Brind don't say we didn't
more you on News Talk ten eighty w T I see.

Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
I see later on in the show. In about an hour,
we'll have some Hollywood news for you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
For all of you guys who grew up in the
eighties liking in particular cartoon, there's a movie coming out
next year that you might be interested in, or you
might secretly watch.

Speaker 4 (01:14:04):
When no one is around. I don't think you're watching
a movie theater. I think this is gonna do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Really really well at home. People will actually stream it.
But I'll talk to you about it in an hour.
In a couple of minutes, we'll talk to Jason Wang
and John Lyons. They are running for town council and
West Hartford. We'll talk to them about this very very
seedy story with slumlords in Hartford, Connecticut, in so many

(01:14:29):
homes that are affected by this woman. Lisa Lazarus is
also running for town council and why the Democrat Party
would run a person who would allow individuals into Hartford
to live like this and it's despicable. So we're gonna
get to the bottom of that. We'll talk to both
of those gentlemen in a minute when we get to that. Lastly,

(01:14:54):
I want to mention this. Let me get this piece
real quickly. There is nothing worse than being lied to.
There is nothing worse than being lied to and told
that if you don't respond to certain things, that you
are a denier.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
You can't rebuild the same. So we have to rebuild
with science. We have to build with climate reality in mind.

Speaker 8 (01:15:17):
And this is the reality, the new reality of extremes,
extreme heat, extreme drought.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
You have droughts and rain bombs.

Speaker 16 (01:15:24):
You're flooding at the same time, you're dealing with droughts,
all happening concurrently.

Speaker 17 (01:15:27):
There's a new reality the world we're living in.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
And if you're not believing science, you have to believe
your own eyes, your own lived experience.

Speaker 4 (01:15:35):
We have to wake up to this reality. We cannot
be in denial.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
That was Governor Gavin Newsom talking about the Palisades fire.
You remember earlier this year, the one that everybody told
us was climate change. Yeah, now they have somebody arrested
for setting the fire. Had nothing to do with climate change.
Let's get another check of weather and traffic. Mark Christopher,
he's in a BPS traffic center.

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
Hey, Mark Race on the radio on news at I see,
I see.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
All right, we're back. Let's get on the line with
Jason Wang and John Lyons. Are both of you there?

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
Yeah, I'm all right, beautiful gentlemen, thank you for being
on the program, and thank you for bringing this story
to our attention. Let's begin a first, let's introduce both
of you. Jason Wang, you're running for town council in
West Hartford. You are well, you're not relatively new to
West Hartford. How long have you lived in the area.

Speaker 9 (01:16:34):
He's just kind of complicated. I moved to Avon, Connecticut
when I was in high school. I went away for
college for a bit. I went I ended up finishing
at Yukon, and then I lived in Hartford for quite
a few years. Then I moved away and now I'm back.
So we've been back in West Hartford now for three
and a half years. Yeah, and uh, you know, I'm

(01:16:55):
very happy to be with.

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
You and John.

Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
Your story is a little interesting because, if I read
the story correctly, you are new to not Hartford or
West Hartford for that matter, but you're new to the
Republican Party.

Speaker 4 (01:17:11):
Is that true? I think you read that correctly, Okay,
I did.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Your story is a little interesting in all of this because,
as it both of you, this all ties into Lisa
Lazarus and what's been going on. So I will say,
I guess let's start with Jason. Jason, talk to everyone
about because I gave sort of, you know, a breakdown
of what's going on. But you found about this anonymous

(01:17:39):
letter that was put out online on Facebook about what
was happening in the Hartford area as it pertained to
slum lords. Tell everybody a little bit about that letter
that you know what we've been able to ascertain with
this letter and the investigation thus far.

Speaker 9 (01:17:59):
Yeah. Sure, I mean, I guess I want to practice
by saying, none of us on the Republican side, on
the town council side, wanted to go to negative. I
absolutely did not want to do it, you know, the
saying the negative about our Democratic opponents. And I still
approach this from the standpoint that we're all trying to

(01:18:19):
make our town greater and our country greater. So really,
I mean, if you look at everything we've written, everything,
you know, letters to the editor out there, it's always
been about a positive vision for West Harchard. But ultimately, I,
due to personal reasons, due to professional reasons, when I
saw this data, it was kind of like, oh my god,

(01:18:43):
it was it was so ugly that I kind of
felt like I couldn't ignore it, you know, like it
was so bad in my opinion that almost like I
felt like we had to bring it, you know, to
kind of let the voters know I hear it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
Jason, Just to cut you off for a second, are
you Are you using any device or you like the
speakerphone or anything like that, because a little bit of
your a little bit it's like not muffled, but like
you're speaking too far away or too loudly.

Speaker 9 (01:19:15):
Oh here, you know, I'll just I'll put on my uh, I'll.

Speaker 8 (01:19:17):
Put my.

Speaker 17 (01:19:19):
Okay, all right, because I don't know I was noticing
that when I thought it was me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
Yeah, it's yeah, just said you sounded a little muffled.
Some of the stuff's coming in clearly, but some of
it is not. You want to try again, Yeah it's
a little bit better.

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Well, okay, so you find out this information, give everybody
the sum up of what what we learned with all
of these properties. How many properties have we found so
far that are involved in this scheme as it were.

Speaker 9 (01:19:48):
I'll give you let's see here. Let mean, I'll open
up the document. Let me tell you how many properties
there were one, two, three, four, six properties that were
sort of I think you would consider a slum lord
type situations, and roughly about two dozen evictions, if I'm

(01:20:11):
not mistaken right.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
Now, two dozen evictions, and most of these evictions, if
not all, have all been associated, if you will, with
complaints about the living.

Speaker 4 (01:20:22):
Conditions of these apartments inside these properties.

Speaker 9 (01:20:26):
Correct, I mean I don't know about every single one.
I mean it's dozens of evictions. So I didn't, you know,
the last cash of evictions that became public, I didn't
read through every court document. Of the early ones, many
of them were, you know, for example, a lot of
reports of roaches crawling in my ear and over my baby,
bathroom stealing, fell in and took months to do a

(01:20:48):
partial repair, rat infestation, roach infestation, things like that. Yeah,
so it's pretty alarming findings.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
Now aside from the story alone, which again should be
alarming to every news outlet and of course elected officials
who represent that area. But the part that makes this
much more alarming is the person who is in charge
of the sale of these properties. Who is Lisa Lazarus,
who's running for town council in West Hartford, a virtual

(01:21:21):
unknown who's associated with this, and that's the reason why
you guys have been bringing this attention to the story.

Speaker 9 (01:21:29):
Yeah, I mean the real concern is, I mean, we're
we believe in the free market and we're not against people,
you know, making money even through unethical ways. But listen,
Lisa is running to be a leader in West Hertford.
I mean, she's running to lead our town. And I
think that's really you know, then I think morals and
ethics do come into it. And when you look at

(01:21:51):
kind of what the behavior was, do you do you
want me to kind of explain what the situation kind
of from start to beginning of what the situation is.

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
Yeah, real quick, and then we'll get to John because
I want his stories also equally interesting because how he
plays a role in this is and and Lisa lazaruth
is go ahead.

Speaker 9 (01:22:07):
Okay, I'll try to make it quick. But basically LEAs
is a commercial real estate broker, and if you look
at her list of transactions, they're mostly in distressed areas
of Hartford, a couple in Waterbury, areas with low income.
And then when you when you drill down into those
those real estate transactions, what you'll notice is repetitive language

(01:22:29):
that clearly almost seems like a dog whistle for slumlords.
So language, for example, the most clear language is rents
are currently below market value and there is ample opportunity
to maximize cash flow and boost your ROI. Other ones
will say rents are currently below market value and all
units are on months to month leases. They'll have very

(01:22:49):
similar language throughout. And basically what that is a signal is, hey,
these are these are low income folks that are probably struggling,
and they're not paying a lot per month, so it's
an advertising to investors to come in eye them up.
And again they are a month to month leases, so
you can raise the hell out of those rents. Can

(01:23:10):
I say that word anyway?

Speaker 10 (01:23:11):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
No, no, that's hell good rent.

Speaker 9 (01:23:15):
And that's what we saw happen is when these transactions
go through, you start to see evictions and rent rent increases.
Sometimes rent's going more than double. In about fifteen months
we had there was one unit that went from five
hundred dollars to eleven hundred dollars in about fifteen months.
And we know this because there were multiple evictions in
the same unit. So we we have court documents substantiating

(01:23:38):
that the rents were increased at this rapid pace. And
the people who are being evicted are largely you know
people who I mean, they're really people who are struggling.

Speaker 4 (01:23:48):
Right, they're the working poor as we as we refer
to them on this show.

Speaker 3 (01:23:53):
They have the working poor, but nonetheless they deserve dignity
and a roof over their head and livable communities.

Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:24:02):
And at least one child was addicted. I'm sure there
are many more. But when you also, uh look at
who is who who who the buyers are, you know
it's it's it's typically these out of state corporations. So it's,
for example, a corporation based in Ohio. There's one based
in New York. There's a couple based in New Jersey.

(01:24:25):
And so they they really are not of our community.
They don't care about our community. And they basically find
these units through Lisa and other and other realtors' books,
but through Lisa, who is advertising.

Speaker 5 (01:24:39):
Again.

Speaker 9 (01:24:39):
You know, these are below market rents here from months
to months, lisas you can raise the rents on these people.
And so these out of state investors are coming in
and they're doing just that, they're neglecting maintenance. There there's
deplorable conditions, at least accusations of you know, in court
documents of deplorable conditions. They're they're raising rents and they
are evicting people. And that's really the crust of this issue.

(01:25:02):
And I completely understand the argument of like, hey, it's
a free country and people are free. You know, landlords
can do this. That's actually true. However, it really from
a human standpoint, I mean, the human toll is just
I think, really heartbreaking.

Speaker 4 (01:25:18):
And again, I listen, I think ethically, and this is
an ethics issue. And again, excuse me.

Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
If you're running for public office, especially to lead the
town in West Hartford, and this is what you do
as a business, as a practice, there's some ethical problems
that I have with that. Let's get to John real quick.
John Lyons is with us as well, running for town council. John,
you left the Democrat Party became a Republican.

Speaker 4 (01:25:46):
With I guess I could say because.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
Of your I guess interactions with your party as it
pertains to Lisa Lazarus.

Speaker 4 (01:25:54):
You want to tell us about that.

Speaker 17 (01:25:56):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm not gonna go that far. But
basically here's what happened is around May I don't know
the dates, but around May it became a parent that
Carol Blanks was going to step down and that there
was going to be a vacancy. So I expressed interests
and Lisa expressed interest and at that time Ben Lenigrad,

(01:26:19):
who's the deputy mayor, said, look, you know, forever reasons,
Lisa is probably the person who's going to be slotted
in that spot. But why don't you I heard Jason's
name mentioned, and there are a few of the names.
Why don't you all run as working party third party.
We'll try to take out the remaining Republicans, I said,

(01:26:41):
I said to My response was like Ben, I I look,
maybe I agree, maybe I don't agree on some issues,
but the Republicans deserve a voice. Our town is somewhere
between one third and forty percent Republicans and they deserve
a voice. And that that really sat poorly with me.

(01:27:02):
That is widely known that he had these conversations in
the DTC. It's widely known. Okay, so there's no denying.
So that was the first thing, and then so then
we had the race. The decision came down to fourteen
decision makers, and the fourteen decision makers. Of them, eight
of them expressed concerns over another counselor. I'm not going

(01:27:25):
to mention his name. He's not on the call to
defend himself. Another democratic counselor. Okay, they expressed concerns to me.
So I sat down with the chair of the party,
Peter Andrews, and I said, we actually had a clause.
Driving home from a wedding on a Saturday night, we
had a call. I said, look, Peter, you need to
put all seven of us in play for the six spots,

(01:27:47):
and if you do, we're good. Even if I don't
get through, we're good. And he said he would do it.
He didn't do it. So he basically what he did
is all of the incumbents he protected and he put
it down to Lisa and me, which I felt and
at least and I talked about this. I felt it
was very unfair Lisa. I don't want to speak for her,
but I think Lisa and I were on the same page,

(01:28:08):
and you know, we had a lot of conversations about it,
and I didn't it simply wasn't fair. So then the
vote happened. It came down to you know, representation for
sixty four thousand people came down to these fourteen votes.
It was a split, it wasn't unanimous, but I lost.
And at that point I started asking myself, Okay, I
know if my primary I'm gonna win. I mean, look,

(01:28:29):
you know nothing about me, but I'm very well known
in West Hartford.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
I do I know you're well known in har I
do know you're well known in West Hartford.

Speaker 17 (01:28:36):
Okay, so I'm very very if I'm on a ballot,
If I'm on a primary ballot, candidly, I'm gonna win. Okay,
I'm just gonna win. I'm not gonna get the most vote,
but I'm not gonna get the least post. So I
had some conversations with some people that are very well
connected and I trust, and one of the ones, one
of them was all right, let's go the primary route.
That was one of the discussions. But then we looked

(01:28:57):
at the cost to West Harton and one of the
things I'm pushing for, and I think Jason's doing a
phenomenal job of pushing for, is let's try to manage
our taxes, manage our grand list. I mean, we just
can't put any more burdens on our burdens. On our residents,
especially the elderly and the lower the lower income folks.
We've got to find a way. So for me to
spend fifty thousands of town's money to have a primary,

(01:29:21):
I felt was wrong. So I then asked four key people,
and I cannot say who they are, but four extremely
key people. The simple question, is the town of West
Harder better served with John Lyons on town council, irrespective
of party or not? And the answer was three to

(01:29:41):
one yes, and the one understood but feared for me.
But I've always been a centrist and some people in
the Democrat party hate me for that, and maybe some
Republicans are going to hate you for that. But I
look at the issues of West Harfer. This is not
a national race. We're not fighting to get into the
White House. This is a race to lead our community

(01:30:03):
and lead our community forward and help those who need
the help.

Speaker 3 (01:30:08):
Do you believe that they are putting Lisa Lazarus ahead
of you or you will We're putting her ahead of
you even though she was a virtual unknown for other
reasons other than her abilities.

Speaker 10 (01:30:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:30:22):
So what I said in my interview process with each
member of each each of the I interviewed with all
fourteen members of the Executive Committee, and I serve I've
served on the Executive Committee, so I've seen both sides
of it, and what I said is you need to
pick the best candidates, is best qualified. If Lisa is
better at this than I am, you need to pick her,

(01:30:42):
That's what I said.

Speaker 4 (01:30:44):
And you don't believe I don't.

Speaker 7 (01:30:46):
I don't. The feedback I've heard is that it's not
the case.

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
Yeah, well no, I'm that's the feedback I heard that
that wasn't the case.

Speaker 17 (01:30:52):
That this was this bombshell, you know. And again I
didn't do the investigating. I really, you know, I got
to give Jason a hundred tend of the credit for
doing research. I'm on simply to tell my story, but
this bombshell, you know. So what does the DTZ do today?
They post a picture of Donald Trump and then the
six candidates. While they got five of us, one was wrong,

(01:31:13):
but they posted the six candidates on a thing saying
that we were going after the LBGTQ plus community, which
I'm a huge supporterer of. I'm not saying that we're
being divisive, and it's like, look, here's the drill. I
want an issue based campaign. I am not going to
personally attack anyone today. Sherry Canter was horribly, horribly attacked.

(01:31:37):
I will not discuss on the radio what happened. It
was horrible. I was the first person opposite party got
on and said this is horrible, this is awful. Take
this post down now. I sent the post to the
town manager. I sent the post to a member of
the media who I know it is offensive, and thank
god they took that post down.

Speaker 1 (01:31:57):
It is.

Speaker 17 (01:31:57):
It was disgusting. What party you remember. I'm gonna stand
up for you.

Speaker 8 (01:32:02):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (01:32:02):
I appreciate both of you, gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
We are going to do some more investigating under this
and we're gonna reach out to Lisa Lazarus so she
can tell her side of the story on this.

Speaker 4 (01:32:15):
And that's exactly what we do. Thank you both. I
appreciate you. Jason Way John Lyons will be following this
story all the way through. Thank you, gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Let's get a check up weather in traffic, Mark Christopher,
he's in the BPS traffic center.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
Hey, Mark, stay.

Speaker 1 (01:32:29):
Race on the radio is on wt I see.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
Let's take three minutes. Let's stalk to Mark and West
Hartford real quick.

Speaker 4 (01:32:38):
Before we go to a break real quick.

Speaker 7 (01:32:42):
So the first thing, first and foremost, I'll be forever
grateful those two brought.

Speaker 17 (01:32:46):
Lisa Lazarus to my attention.

Speaker 7 (01:32:49):
Secondly, but secondly, you know where I'm gonna go. What
have I been saying about Connecticut Republicans. They can't go
off script? If they can't go off script, and like
Lisa Lazarrith, you know this playing nice stuff, and you
know what, not for nothing? If this is the new
face of the Republicans. John Lyons, I wish he stated
a Democrat. I'm sorry that was that was awful.

Speaker 4 (01:33:12):
Well, he's he's trying here. I think.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
I think he's I think that he's a centrist. I
don't think again, he made it clear to me that
he's not a Republican. He's a centrist Democrat, but he's
joining a Republican party. But I will say this, and again,
I'm not even gonna make it about John Lyons.

Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
That's not even the issue.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
No, But he clearly sees that the problem is is
that this particular part and he also remember he's pushing
back on what it is that the DTC is doing here.
What they turned around and did was accuse the Republicans
of some awful stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
And he was the first person to call it out.

Speaker 3 (01:33:49):
It didn't even seem like Republicans stepped up to the plate,
but he stepped up and said, you guys have to
take this down.

Speaker 4 (01:33:54):
So I give him credit for that.

Speaker 7 (01:33:56):
I don't defend my mayor him defending Sherry Canter. He
just lost off credibility.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Yeah, you're not, you're not. You're not a fan time here,
but you're.

Speaker 7 (01:34:05):
No, No, it's not a fan. I got more facts
on her and in what she's done and what she
misinforms or doesn't inform. No statements, I mean, I mean
to defend her and worry about somebody putting up a
horrible post about her. How about the horrible thing she
doesn't keeap from her from her constituents. That's worse than
any stupid cartoon or statement. How does she treat us?

(01:34:28):
Our taxes are going up, Prime is going up, of course,
the living she wants to drive us out of our houses.
She lives in a mansion. And get this, wait till
I show everybody. I'm gonna show a picture. I'm not
gonna dots her or anything, but she's telling people like
me in my little thirteen hundred square foot rants that
my house is underused in unity building.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
You said your thirteen hundred years barefoot you said is underused, underused.

Speaker 7 (01:34:54):
Let me tell you, I just nine years as a
caregiver for my mother in law because I turned it
into an infirmary, so she her. For even making statements
like that, And I don't care if you're an elderly
living by themselves, who are my neighbors? That's their home,
they're under using it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
You can't that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
Yeah, it's it's it's evil. It's a callous thing to
say without a doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:35:18):
But don't worry. Listen, this story is not over. We've
got a lot of Listen, you and I will take over.

Speaker 3 (01:35:23):
Oh no, no, we got this covert.

Speaker 7 (01:35:26):
I'm grateful they brought it to life.

Speaker 5 (01:35:27):
But let's put it this way.

Speaker 7 (01:35:28):
I'm not counting on them to go into Hartford Whitney
and try to get into any of these talked to
the tender. We'll take care of that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:35):
You got it, boss man, You got it, brother, thank you.
Let's take a break.

Speaker 8 (01:35:39):
We got.

Speaker 4 (01:35:41):
Chris, he's in the VPS traffics that. I got that
boy real right up, didn't I? Yeah, no kidding, the
na A c P calls him.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
WHOA, I don't think I'm it's rece on the radio.
Let's just say some people are not fans news. Talk
to w T I soon.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
All right, we're back now before I get into any
more phone calls. I have to do this because when
I was growing up, if I would get into a
conversation with folks politically, and this happened for a lot
of years in my life, I would talk to people
on the left, and usually.

Speaker 4 (01:36:23):
Because of the neighborhood that I lived.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
In growing up, I spoke to a lot of African
Americans are a liberal. I grew up in Hollis Queens, Okay,
spent my time in South Jamaica, Hollis Queens, you know, Flushing, Corona,
and a lot of the people that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
I hung out with were all African American.

Speaker 3 (01:36:46):
I had a few Hispanic friends, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, you know,
they were some of my closest budds. Robert ortiz oscar Planco,
you know, Jamie Montgomery, and usually most of these guys
always were brought up on the left. I was the
odd man out again. Let's say, you know, as you know,

(01:37:07):
when you know my origin story. I was a Conservatives
when I was ten years old, and I would getting
a debate with these folks.

Speaker 4 (01:37:13):
And everybody in the neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (01:37:15):
I would get into these arguments with because you know,
I couldn't see my point of view, and I watched
a hell of a lot of television political television at that.
I love press conferences, That's another big thing of mine.
And political press conference is like in a president's giving one.

Speaker 4 (01:37:32):
I love watching it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
And the one theme my entire life I've always heard
from the left, especially those in the black community, was
about how we need to.

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
Be more like europe.

Speaker 3 (01:37:48):
Man, the way they do it in Europe. They need
to have things like they do in Europe. Why can't
you Europe is doing it. Why can't wave? It's all
these arguments, and I would push back on every one
of them. We can't do that because were this. When
they do that, that's not a good thing. These things
are not good for us. And make these arguments all
the time. So of course I did not have this platform,

(01:38:10):
and a lot of people on the left listen to
this program, and I know that, and I appreciate you
don't think I don't I do the bottom of my heart.
So as I'm going through my usual day, I don't
just gather news. Sometimes I check out something that may
come across my desk. I'll be scamming through something and
I might be looking for like the stupidest thing I've
read today, and I might come across a video here

(01:38:33):
and theres you know, some minor documentary. And then I
ran into this from a reporter back in the days
in the ABC News twenty twenty. It's a guy by
the name of John Stossel. Remember him if you don't
remember him. He famously got his ear slapped from a
wrestler for questioning whether or not it was fake.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
On twenty twenty, he was an on field reporter with
Barb Blah wah wah. Hugh Downs. Hugh Down still has
one of the greatest voices on television. I'm Hugh Downs.

Speaker 3 (01:39:06):
And he John Stossel did this piece about the European model,
and the reason why I'm playing it is because of
something I just talked about the other day.

Speaker 4 (01:39:19):
In fact, you might remember Leroy from The Last Dragon.

Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
Bruce Leroy called up and said, Reese, I never agree
with anything that you say, but I agree with you
on this is that I love.

Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
The entrepreneurial spirit of people in Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
Did you just pop up a tent and then that's
your job, That's the way you take care of your family.

Speaker 4 (01:39:42):
He a guy who disagrees with me about everything, agreed
with me on that.

Speaker 3 (01:39:46):
And when I saw this piece and I heard something,
and it I went, this guy is from Sweden that
John Stossel is talking to and he left Sweden and
moved to like Kansas, I believe. And he's talking about
why America cannot become the European model for a slew

(01:40:07):
of reasons, but aside from those, I'll give you a.

Speaker 4 (01:40:11):
Few in this piece. Our quality of life is not
up to the other countries. You know, Europe is better,
so much.

Speaker 19 (01:40:19):
Better, But about fifteen years ago Europe's growth stagnated. Today
America is fifty percent richer, even though the EU has
one hundred million more people. Europe's become kind of a
wine and cheese museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but
there's so little growth that the poorest US state is

(01:40:40):
now richer than most European countries.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
The poorest US state is richer than most European countries.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
For those of you who are listening on the radio.
What US state Mississippi.

Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
Yes, that's right, Mississippi, the poorest US state is wealthier
than a hell of a lot of European countries. That
is United Kingdom, France, Malta, Italy, Cyprus, Spain, Slovenia, Estonia,
Czech Republic, Portugals, Lithuania, Slovakia, Greece, Latvia, Hungary, Poland, nom

(01:41:21):
As what me the whole EU Mississippi?

Speaker 19 (01:41:26):
Why because of the very same policies saw Americans now
want us to copy, like higher taxes.

Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
We want to tax the rich in America.

Speaker 20 (01:41:36):
We now have absurdly rich people. If you add up
all the value that these individuals have, it's nowhere near
enough to pay for all the obligations that the federal
government has.

Speaker 4 (01:41:47):
You get free healthcare, Friedge, No, you.

Speaker 20 (01:41:49):
Get the right to free healthcare. But whether you actually
get the healthcare or not is a different story.

Speaker 4 (01:41:55):
That is something I've been trying to tell people for
the longest.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
Having the right to free healthcare does not mean that
you're going to get it, because it will make wait
times long as hell. And this professor or this writer,
I should say this economics professor.

Speaker 4 (01:42:13):
He breaks it down like this.

Speaker 20 (01:42:15):
I have friends who have died in the Swedish healthcare
system because they couldn't get treatment in time.

Speaker 3 (01:42:20):
And we know this to be a fact because some
people are waiting three years to see their primary care
doctor for tumors. For tumors, I played that audio right
here on the show. You have the right to free healthcare,
but whether or not they'll get around to you, you
could die before you see a physician.

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
On Taxpayers Supported TV, they complain.

Speaker 1 (01:42:45):
That we and Papua New Guinea are the only countries
in the world that do not provide any paid time
off for new mothers.

Speaker 3 (01:42:54):
Now paid time off, everybody's been talking about that. I
remember that from the Obama administration. That was one of
the most important things to do. You should be able
to get paid time off should you decide to have
a child.

Speaker 4 (01:43:06):
They have to do that from others.

Speaker 3 (01:43:09):
Well, they did that in Sweden, and it's interesting because
they can't stop you from paid time off if you
have a baby.

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
Let's check out this Sweden model.

Speaker 21 (01:43:19):
You get sixteen weeks in the Netherlands, almost seventy weeks
in Sweden.

Speaker 20 (01:43:23):
You can have one kid and then you're away for
a year, and then if you have another kid, you
just perpetuate your maternity to leave and you can be
away for years.

Speaker 22 (01:43:34):
They take care of people, but it also entraps you.
They get stuck in low end jobs. They don't start
businesses like we do because they don't have to. The
more people who.

Speaker 20 (01:43:46):
Choose that lifestyle, the fewer people are paying taxes.

Speaker 3 (01:43:50):
And you think that's bad, folks, Here's where it gets
even worse. If you are working for some of these companies,
it takes bureaucracy to fire you.

Speaker 4 (01:44:01):
So imagine a woman goes on sick leave.

Speaker 3 (01:44:04):
She's allowed to go on sick leave, and then in
the middle of having a baby, she says to her husband,
I just.

Speaker 4 (01:44:08):
Love our new baby, but you know what, he needs
a sibling, and they decide to get pregnant again.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
They got to continue to give her sick leave, and
you're going, wait a minute, hold on, they can't give
her paid sick leave. Up of fact, well, try to
fire her. According to some in Sweden, at least you
have to go through bureaucracy to get that person fired.
It takes weeks, if not months, if not years, to
actually fire them. But this is the part that I
loved the most. It was about starting up your own business,

(01:44:37):
and in Europe you can't become an entrepreneur.

Speaker 19 (01:44:41):
Regulations are another reason Europe doesn't grow. We have too
many rules.

Speaker 20 (01:44:45):
The astounding thing is that the Europeans have more.

Speaker 19 (01:44:49):
European rules can make it almost impossible to fire a worker.

Speaker 20 (01:44:52):
Why would you hire anybody when you are essentially responsible
for them for the rest of your life.

Speaker 19 (01:45:00):
What do you mean you can't fire them if they
don't show up, You can't fire them.

Speaker 20 (01:45:03):
You have to go through an extremely bureaucratic sequence. The
government will will decide whether or not you are right
in saying this person is not doing his job.

Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
Imagine a world where the government decides on if a
person's doing their job. Now, we may not have something
like the European model, but we actually do have something
similar to it, and it's called DEI.

Speaker 4 (01:45:28):
Think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:30):
If they had been able to implement DEI in the
Biden way, you couldn't fire a person of color or
a person with a certain you know, sexual orientation, even
if they were doing a horrible job, just by firing
them or wanting them out of their job because they
didn't do it well.

Speaker 4 (01:45:48):
They could sue you, send you to court, forced you
to stay on the job. And if I remember.

Speaker 3 (01:45:53):
Correctly, isn't that exactly what's happening in the federal government. Well,
Donald Trumps trying to fire all of these other layabouts
and used to come into the office. There are court
injunctions stopping him from doing it. They don't want to
work there, they don't want to come in, but the
government is pretty much assisting those people continue to get
a paycheck even if they don't want to work. DEI

(01:46:14):
is exactly what's going on. What would have happened if
we didn't put an end to it. You couldn't fire
a bad worker. Why because they would have been protected,
as we like to call it, the complexion for the
protection or detherway around.

Speaker 23 (01:46:34):
Other regulations make entrepreneurship harder. Here in America, we allow
people to Let's say you have a pickup truck. You
can put a sticker on it that says Bob the
carp enter, and now you have a small business.

Speaker 20 (01:46:45):
You can go out and start making money.

Speaker 4 (01:46:49):
In Europe you have to wade through fees.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
You have to Yeah, I had to cut it short
because it was getting a little long and I didn't
want to like sort of innundate the whole show with it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:00):
You should check it out. It's an amazing one.

Speaker 3 (01:47:02):
John Stossel did this about seven months ago, and it's
an interesting little bit where he talks about this and people, again,
I've heard this all over again.

Speaker 4 (01:47:13):
They're like, we need to be more like Europe. No,
we don't, we don't, we need to stay more like
the United States. That's all. You don't want any parts
of what those folks are doing out there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:26):
Mattio says, I have personal information about the Norwegian healthcare system.

Speaker 4 (01:47:30):
If you ever want to hear about it, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
He says, I stubbed my toe in Norway. I would
fly home to get it checked out. It's also called
Union's horrible. People get to stay all the time. Yep,
absolutely right, absolutely right. And this is again, this is
a product of that. So people who don't understand exactly

(01:47:54):
how other countries work, and they get, you know, they
get this sort of romanticized version of it being told
to them daily, not realizing that. Yeah, and again I
would say this that what you just saw makes so
much sense if you think about it. Why do so

(01:48:14):
many people come to the United States. And that last
part that he said as I was talking about a
couple of days ago. He put it very simplistic, but
he's actually right. You can buy a pickup truck and
put a sticker on the side of it and you've
got a business. And you can't do that in Europe

(01:48:35):
and in some of these other places. They know that
about the United States. And if anybody's ever visited Texas,
like I said, if you had been from anywhere else
in the world, then you would come to San Antonio
and you saw that and you would ask me, hey,
can people just pop up a tent and didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:48:49):
They've got a business? And the answers yes. And I
thought it was like I said, I thought it was
just guys.

Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
Who was selling grass. I thought it was a guy
selling hayes. I thought it was guys selling chickens, like
you know, the weird off the stuff. But when I
saw the guy with the air conditioning tent helping people
waiting for no appointment needed, drive up and he would
fix the air conditioning unit in your car right there.

Speaker 4 (01:49:16):
No stopping at pet boys.

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
Or any other just show up to Manuel and Manuel
would fix it right there in the street.

Speaker 4 (01:49:25):
And they would pay him. And again I just said,
you can just do that? How do you how do
you not come here? How do you not? If you
if that was a selling point, Hey, do you do
any crafts?

Speaker 8 (01:49:42):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:49:43):
Do you like making jewelry? What happened to love making jewelry?
Imagine a place where you can go out and just
put out a table and sell it.

Speaker 4 (01:49:51):
Well, we have the bizarre all the time, but we
have to have to pay a certain tax. Nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
People would jump at the chants, jump at the chants.
I wonder what they make those folks do at the bazaar.
I wonder what hoops they have to go to. Oh,
of course we have the bazaar. If we said everything
we have trinkets, this is gold adjacent. I don't know

(01:50:23):
what I said. Mississippi has more wealth than England. We're
talking about at the wage if you were paying attention,
clearly not paying attention, the average wage of Mississippi is
higher that of those who live in the UK.

Speaker 4 (01:50:43):
Those who live in the European Union. It's that simple.

Speaker 3 (01:50:49):
But if you were in a dumb dumb you would
know that and instead of just jumping on the chat
room in a knee jerk way, you should have looked
it up before you jumped in, so you need to
try harder. This is why I call you lazy. How
you get offended by it because you know it's true. Okay,

(01:51:11):
don't let.

Speaker 4 (01:51:12):
Me have to do the work for you. That's why
I'm here. I'm already done the work for you. All right,
Sit back and relax and learn. That's all. That's all
you have to do. Sit back, relax, have a couple
of tea. Learning's happening for you. We'll be back. More news,
more views.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
Let's get weather in traffic Mark Christoper, he's in the
BPS traffic center.

Speaker 8 (01:51:30):
Hey, but.

Speaker 4 (01:51:32):
But I was paying attention to something else anyway, It's
uh that time. Let's get to it. It's Hollywood News.

Speaker 3 (01:51:43):
With your correspondent Race on radio. All the glens, oh
the glamor. It's Hollywood News, all right. I gotta get
out of that real quick because I gotta play the
sound effect.

Speaker 24 (01:51:59):
Do you remember I'm the Masters of Leuniverse.

Speaker 19 (01:52:05):
I am Adam Friends of Eornian, defender of the Secrets
of Castle bracecom.

Speaker 1 (01:52:10):
This is Cringer, my seerless friend.

Speaker 3 (01:52:13):
You guys remember that TV series He Man and The
Masters of the Universe. Well, it looks like that, of course,
is about to be released as a film next year.

Speaker 4 (01:52:24):
Masters of the Universe stars some unknown kid. I don't know.
He's on some movies.

Speaker 3 (01:52:27):
His name is Nicholas Galitzine. I've never heard him. He's
playing key Man. Morena Bakern is playing the sorceress that
was the love interest on Deadpool. Idris Elba is playing
Man at Arms, and Alison Brie is playing Evil Lynn.

Speaker 4 (01:52:45):
If you're asking yourself, then who is playing Skeletor? Well,
that is Oscar Award winner Jared Ledo.

Speaker 3 (01:52:54):
Who is going to be And of course he's just
came off of his his stint in the Tron movie
Ares that just came out. It comes out on a
tenth What am I saying? Yeah, it comes out on
a tenth. So yeah, he'll be next year in Masters
of the Universe Skeletor.

Speaker 4 (01:53:08):
So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
I I'm probably gonna watch it when it streams. I
don't think i'll go to the theater. You're gonna go
to the theaters to watch it? Okay, Okay, obviously a
fan here. This is I almost feel like Mark Christopher
to bps Traffic Center was in college when he Man
was out.

Speaker 10 (01:53:25):
In the mid eighties, right, martin eighties? Yes, well I
was on the five and a half Yer plan. Okay,
So I started in eighty two. I was supposed to
graduate eighty six. Didn't really graduate too.

Speaker 3 (01:53:35):
Okay, but what would college kids have watched the show
like he Man, even you know, even the stoner types,
like would they have been in a he Man fan?

Speaker 8 (01:53:44):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:53:44):
That been like out of the realm of possibly.

Speaker 2 (01:53:46):
I can tell you you definitely.

Speaker 4 (01:53:47):
I know you didn't want.

Speaker 2 (01:53:49):
I didn't have anything to do.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
Yeah, I just wanted. But you do know who he
Man is?

Speaker 8 (01:53:52):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:53:53):
No, I'm gonna google it right now. That's how much.
That's how I.

Speaker 4 (01:53:58):
He is like gorazy. It's like pop culture vapid. I
don't when his music. He knows it, but he doesn't
know he Man.

Speaker 8 (01:54:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:08):
Yeah, you were music guy, I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
I never watched it. I never watched it. Oh I didn't.

Speaker 10 (01:54:13):
I really, to be honest with you, most of my
life is really I only really watched sports and a
little bit of news.

Speaker 1 (01:54:18):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
It's funny because you have not faltered there at all.
You haven't waivered. That has been your thing.

Speaker 10 (01:54:24):
You didn't see where it was back in the day. Now,
this is like nineteen eighty two. I started college and
ESPN had just started, you know, just started. Yeah, And
so we would sit there and we'd watch games. We'd
watch the late basketball games eleven o'clock and I run
out get a pizza and some fries, yeah, and watch
games till like twelve thirty one in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
So that's what we were doing.

Speaker 3 (01:54:43):
If you were in college today, you would have been
a guy who watched ESPN.

Speaker 4 (01:54:48):
The Oak Show without a doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:54:50):
You're not gonna know what that is.

Speaker 3 (01:54:52):
It's all right, I have to explain it to you
another time because you haven't seen Dodgeball yet.

Speaker 2 (01:54:58):
No I haven't. Who's who's the star in dodge Ball?

Speaker 4 (01:55:02):
Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughan.

Speaker 2 (01:55:05):
That's that sounds like a funny movie.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:55:07):
It's one of my favorites of all time.

Speaker 10 (01:55:09):
With those two guys. I'm gonna be honest though, I
like the old the old school guys on ESPN. I
like the Bob Lee's and I like the Jurman and
that guy. These guys now all try to be they
all think they're led them and they all think they're
funny and they're really not. Now they don't give me
a lot of give me, give me some information.

Speaker 2 (01:55:25):
If you're not funny. The old crew, the old school
guys just gave me the info. And that's what I
like exactly. Okay, let's just get the let's get on
with the sports. Are if they're heading in on.

Speaker 1 (01:55:34):
It's on.

Speaker 3 (01:55:37):
I see all right, Well, Jason Wang is back. I'm
assuming you wish to address what Mark was talking about.
You know that wasn't that wasn't towards you.

Speaker 8 (01:55:48):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:55:49):
Can you guys hear me?

Speaker 4 (01:55:50):
Yeah, I can hear you.

Speaker 17 (01:55:51):
Fine, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:55:53):
I wanted to respond because you know I I I
want to make it clear if the Democrat had asked
me to run as a working family party that I
would have told him to to go go blankly. I
think one thing that's been a little maybe frustrating, but
I haven't gotten out ahead of his life. I'm not
a lefty. People keep assuming that about me.

Speaker 4 (01:56:14):
I don't think that. No, No again, Jason, he wasn't
speaking about you at all. He made that clear.

Speaker 3 (01:56:20):
No, he was talking about John leaving the Democrat Party
and saying glowing things about the mayor West Hartford, who
Mark has a lot of issues with and he's made
them very known. He's publicly, you know, he's very public
about that. So he gives no credit for her. So
he takes an affront to anyone who sings her praises
in any way because he feels as though she abuses
her power and she is very disrespectful to the people

(01:56:41):
of West Hartford.

Speaker 4 (01:56:42):
And he is a diehard.

Speaker 3 (01:56:43):
And I'll tell you that he's no affiliation none whatsoever,
which is what I love about Mark because you can't
pigeonhole him and what he cares about is what he
cares about. For him is that one the people, the
constituents in West Hartford and pretty much all of Connecticut,
he fights for them and he doesn't play party lines.
And I think that he's smart in doing that because

(01:57:05):
when he sees Republicans screwing up, he's the first one
to step up. And he is, you know, he's much
more base. He's not as basic as the Democrats are
screwing up the state. He calls out Republicans when they,
you know, played the uniparty role. So he's not a
fan and he makes it very known. So that wasn't
even towards you.

Speaker 9 (01:57:25):
Yeah, I just want people to understand, like, listen, I
I believe in conservative values. And the other thing is
I wanted to say, you know, I've spoken to many
of the people, or I've reached out to many of
the people who were evicted. They're not all easy to reach.
I spoke to a couple of them, and they did
confirm all of the conditions that were reported. Yeah, they

(01:57:49):
confirmed to me verbally. I spoke to one man who
told me that his unit went from seven to seventy
five to thirteen fifty in a very short period of time.
So you know, I am with you, Mark, I mean,
this really makes me mad.

Speaker 19 (01:58:02):
It does.

Speaker 4 (01:58:04):
And Jason and you and I and you and I
have had this discussion.

Speaker 1 (01:58:07):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
One of the most important things about this, you know,
and I want to I want to really well, let
me drive this home for you because when Jason and
I spoke about this before he came on air, one
of the things that he talked about was how he
works with a lot of people who are struggling and
a lot of them either deal with the addiction is

(01:58:30):
primarily the case.

Speaker 4 (01:58:32):
And as he works with these folks, he has seen
that one of the core.

Speaker 3 (01:58:37):
Reasons why a lot of folks have relapsed, who have
gone on the right path to get sober or to
get off drugs, the thing that they need most in
their life is stability, right, They need they need a routine,
because if they lose hope, if they lose that routine,
if they become isolated, and if they in any way
feel like the world is against them, they always go

(01:59:00):
to using. And one of the things that Jason expressed
to me was somebody who was unrelated to this story
had gone back out and used again. And the first
thing he said was what made you go back out
and use? And Jason, you told me was that he
lost his housing and you understood. You, yes, and you
understood that is like you know, losing that is give

(01:59:21):
somebody despair, And says, what am I finding for all
of this? Far I might as won't go back to
doing the stuff that got me in the situation that
I'm in because they lost hope.

Speaker 9 (01:59:29):
Exactly, especially if it's a faithless plumlord from out of
the state that does not care about you, does not
care about your community. And this makes me viscerally mad.
And I want to tell Mark and anybody else listening,
I'm there with you. I mean, I hear the anger
his voice, and that is the anger that I felt
when I read this information.

Speaker 4 (01:59:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:59:52):
And the last point I would like to make is,
you know, you talked about a little bit about THEI
and that that's another angle that we didn't get a
chance to explore earlier, which is, look at the names
of the people who were evicted. Yeah, look at the
people the people who are evicted. You know, they they
were people of colored Yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (02:00:10):
Those are the people who are supposed to be We're
supposed to knee jerk reaction, do everything we can to
make sure our tax dollars go to support them, and
that that they are the most protected people out there
because they're so vulnerable. And to note that this is
happening to those so called vulnerable people that they're you know,
sworn to protect, to watch that happen the Democrat exactly

(02:00:32):
by the Democrat nominee shows exactly how ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (02:00:38):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:00:38):
This I guess the ignoring of this story is is
that it truly shows how rotted.

Speaker 10 (02:00:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:00:45):
A lot of people in this party, and if I
may say so, a lot of people in the media
are that they would not want to make bring attention
to this and.

Speaker 4 (02:00:52):
Make it right.

Speaker 9 (02:00:55):
So it's really, I think just shows how how broken
that idea of you know, that performative DEI. I'm not
against diversity, of course, I want diversity. I want people
of all you know, backgrounds to succeed in this country,
and weat people the means for them to do to

(02:01:16):
raise themselves up, to build a better life for themselves.
But performative DEI is a different issue. And that's what
we are talking about here. This is performative DEI. This
is picking somebody who has harmed the communities of color
and even just taking race out of it, just harmed
marginalized individuals. And that makes me this really, this really angry.

(02:01:39):
And I'm with you, Mark, and you know that's that's
really what I wanted to say. Uh, you know, it's
it really annoyed. It really just makes me upset. Other
people should be upset. I think when people hear about
the facts of this case, they should be upset.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
Well, I'm glad that you call back and got a
chance to get that off your chest. Jason Wang running
for Town Counts and West Harford. Thank you very much, sir,
for calling back.

Speaker 21 (02:02:03):
Thank you got it.

Speaker 4 (02:02:05):
And like I said, we're not letting this story go.

Speaker 3 (02:02:07):
You know, as every one of the stories that we cover,
we we cover them, uh until they're done, until they're
overwood and we you know, put them.

Speaker 4 (02:02:15):
In our back pocket and move on.

Speaker 1 (02:02:17):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:02:18):
We'll talk about that some more. What else do I
have in store for today? I think I had some
other stuff I need to get into. Oh, Chris Cuomo,
uh and Eric Trump. They had a back and forth.
And what what's so good about this exchange.

Speaker 4 (02:02:35):
Was what Eric Trump?

Speaker 3 (02:02:37):
He he succinctly broke down this nonsense about political retribution
against Donald Trump's enemies. I want to play that for
you in a little bit. And also, this is pretty
pretty bad. It didn't get a lot of attention, but
I want to draw some attention to it. Ibram X

(02:02:59):
Kendy is back, and this should really make a lot
of people angry.

Speaker 4 (02:03:05):
What he said? What the hell? Let me play it.
I don't think.

Speaker 21 (02:03:10):
White people world wide have really reckoned with how much
their own personal identity is shaped by constructions of lightness
and how much.

Speaker 3 (02:03:25):
I'm sorry, you know, every time I listen to some
of these so called black intellectuals they.

Speaker 4 (02:03:30):
Don't, so I'm sorry, I don't know what the heck
that was. That was weird.

Speaker 3 (02:03:36):
And somebody's so called black intellectuals, why is it that
they don't make sense?

Speaker 4 (02:03:42):
I don't think.

Speaker 21 (02:03:44):
White people world wide have really reckoned with how much
their own personal identity is shaped by constructions of lightness,
and how much.

Speaker 4 (02:03:59):
That construction of whiteness.

Speaker 21 (02:04:02):
Prevents white people from connecting to humanity.

Speaker 3 (02:04:11):
It's I listened to that, and I just go, boy,
I could say so many things. I can say so
many things to counter that. When he said, wait, what, yes, exactly, Wendy,
that's okay. I could say the same thing, but I won't.
Like I can say the most bigoted, ignorant thing in

(02:04:37):
the world. The worst part is is that when I
say it, I would be telling the truth if I were,
if I were anything like ex Embram Candy, I could
say what he just said and impose it towards a
group of people. I would be one hundred percent accurate.

(02:04:59):
And I have got I'm almost certain right here on
this computer. I am certain, and I have two hundred
videos to back up that claim. Talking about someone's connection
with humanity, Huh, you want to talk about somebody's connection
with humanity. You want to talk about them? Waterbury double murder?

(02:05:23):
Do you want to talk about that? I mean, we
can just I can go on and on and on.
If I really really wanted to be cool and mean,
I would make these liberals' heads explode. If I were
to say half the stuff that Ibram.

Speaker 4 (02:05:36):
Kendy just said, I would. They would be screaming. They
we'd be.

Speaker 3 (02:05:39):
Picketing outside of WTIC studios, all of them, all of them.
I just again, I laugh because it's ignorant. It's ignorant,
and it's stupid.

Speaker 15 (02:05:50):
It is.

Speaker 4 (02:05:51):
I mean, that's the reason why I bring attention to it,
because I do.

Speaker 5 (02:05:55):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:05:55):
Like I said, we're going to reach out to miss
Lisa Lazaruth. We'll see whether or not she'll come on
the program, or at least you'll give us a statement
about what we've learned about these slumlords and about these
conditions of squalor. And if there's anybody in the Democrat
Party in West Hartford, if you want to make a statement,

(02:06:18):
we'd appreciate it. We'd love to understand how your candidate
for town council would do this to these vulnerable people.
Somebody should step up and say something. I mean, at
least come out and say that it's you know, it's
categorically untrue, Say that you find it reprehensible. Don't try

(02:06:41):
to do this nonsense about calling those homophobes or any
of that other nonsense, or we're racist and bignity because
we don't want to legals. You know, let's address let's
address this, this big giant elephant in the room that
allows people to live with roaches crawling in their children's ear,
where they can't leave food anywhere because it's going to

(02:07:03):
get eaten up by rats and other rodents.

Speaker 4 (02:07:07):
Your friends, your neighbors.

Speaker 3 (02:07:09):
Allowing them to live like that, and then probably and
that's the part that makes me laugh, is then to
turn around and.

Speaker 4 (02:07:17):
Start screaming about institutional racism or talk about how there's.

Speaker 3 (02:07:29):
No compassion for vulnerable folks. I'd really love to see
you step up and explain that one to me, because
there's some people right in your backyard that you're like
just throwing away.

Speaker 4 (02:07:43):
I find that interesting. Well, you know, we are where
we are. We are where we are.

Speaker 3 (02:07:50):
All right, we'll look up some other news and then
wrap this puppy up. Is it Wednesday today?

Speaker 2 (02:07:54):
Roland.

Speaker 4 (02:07:55):
Is it only Wednesday? I feel like it was Thursday already.
I feel like it was third for some reason. Why
am I'm not?

Speaker 3 (02:08:01):
I'm not even in a rush for the week to
get that to go that fast. Like I wasn't even
rushing anyway. Uh, let me see when we come back.
Chris Cuomo, Eric Trump and I had one more that
I know I needed to wrap up the day with.
And for some odd reason, all of my paperwork is everywhere.

(02:08:23):
Oh yeah, we got What had happened was how did
I forget that? I didn't forget. I totally forgot that.
What it happened was if you forgot the opening monologue.
We'll talk about that as well. And I think I
got everything in front of me.

Yeah, that's it.

was yesterday.

Speaker 3 (02:09:14):
And I know that we had John Silva and we
had Morgan Cunningham were both nominated for a Connecticut Broadcasting Award. No,
I'm not trying to bring up, you know, any bad
you know news if they didn't end up winning, but
I'm hoping that they did.

Maybe John silver.

Speaker 21 (02:09:30):
Let us know.

Speaker 2 (02:09:31):
They didn't win.

Speaker 3 (02:11:43):
Credit Fundberg is in the news making stupid comments and
posting stupid pictures. Also, we had as a guest on
the program Jason Wang who came back to the show

real estate dealings that she's doing in and around Hardford,
costing people their homes that they're renting month to month.

Lle oh, sorry about the government shutdown. It's actually pretty

(02:13:08):
get another check of whether in traffic Mark Chris Words
int the BTPs Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (02:13:11):
Hey, Mark, what's up? Everybody?

Speaker 8 (02:13:13):
You know who it is?

Speaker 2 (02:13:14):
Who is you know?

Speaker 3 (02:13:16):
It's rees on the radio, Frederick Douglas of the twenty
first century.

Speaker 1 (02:13:20):
It's w t i C News Talk.

Speaker 2 (02:13:24):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (02:13:24):
Let me get a shout out to Ben Lewis in
West Hartford.

Speaker 3 (02:13:29):
If this is true from the story that I'm hearing,
Apparently there are some people who are stealing signs on
all over West Hartford. And I want to say this
to anybody listening who knows of those who are taking
signs of conservatives off of lawns or trying to get

(02:13:51):
rid of them. Let me just say something that people
need to understand, and I want to say it to
both the people taking the signs who validate having these
signs taken of conservatives who cheer them on, and those

(02:14:11):
who are having their signs taken away and those who
think it is abhorring and disgusting. I want to say
the same thing to you both on different sides of
the aisle. Okay, when you take the signs off the
lawn or off the street corner, whoever's taking them is

(02:14:34):
showing their fear.

Speaker 4 (02:14:38):
That the person they're removing is resonating.

Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
That is a sheer sign of fear that people may
know that there's an alternative.

Speaker 4 (02:14:53):
That's the reason why that happens. It's that simple.

Speaker 3 (02:14:57):
If they didn't think you had a chance, in hell,
they wouldn't even bother. But because they are concerned that
some people might say, hey, I don't like what this
side is doing, they might choose you.

Speaker 4 (02:15:16):
That's all. It's that simple.

Speaker 3 (02:15:22):
So just put another sign up, they'll come and take
them again. So it's it's you know, it's a constant.
You may have heard Dave Dave Meyger talking about the
the indictment I should say of James Comy, And you

(02:15:45):
may have heard the reporter from CBS News suggesting that
this is retribution, that this is a political witch hunt
going after James Comy. As I told you they're going
after James me for processing crime. I said that it's
absolutely insignificant. I don't care about the James Comy case.

(02:16:09):
There's no big fish here. It's a big linky Dodo bird.
It's not important. Did you see the people over in Arlington?
Did you see them over at the courtroom or the
carthouse where you had to go plead not guilty and
then go home.

Speaker 4 (02:16:23):
Nobody showed up because nobody cared.

Speaker 3 (02:16:26):
But if you really want to talk about political retribution,
I want to play this for you. Chris Cuomo talking
to Eric Trump, and Chris Cuomo is of the ILK
that says, isn't your father going after his political enemies here? Well,
Eric unscripted had an answer and he laid it out.

(02:16:48):
As we like to say in the hip hop world freestyle.

Speaker 16 (02:16:52):
I'm asking you questions about whether or not if something
is wrong, is also wrong to do the same thing
when you get back in power, which certainly happened the
first time the administration came in.

Speaker 4 (02:17:04):
You went right after Biden.

Speaker 20 (02:17:05):
I don't mean you.

Speaker 16 (02:17:05):
You weren't part of the administration. I'll get to you
in a second in terms of what's going on right now.
But if you think I'm playing Koy, you don't know
me as well as you should. I'm not playing Koy.

Speaker 4 (02:17:16):
I know what happened to me. Did we get and
it was now looks like what.

Speaker 16 (02:17:21):
Was done to you. That's why I'm asking a question.

Speaker 4 (02:17:23):
Do we raid Biden's home?

Speaker 8 (02:17:25):
You know?

Speaker 15 (02:17:25):
Did we Did we try and bankrupt Biden?

Speaker 4 (02:17:28):
Did they come after us?

Speaker 15 (02:17:28):
Do we weaponize every age in DA you know against Biden?
Do we do that against hunter Biden? Who had a
laptop from hell, pictures of cocaine, illicit drug, used prostitution?

Speaker 1 (02:17:39):
You know?

Speaker 4 (02:17:40):
Did we did we do that?

Speaker 15 (02:17:41):
Did we make up a dirty dossier about Biden? Did
they try and destroy Biden's marriage?

Speaker 8 (02:17:47):
You know?

Speaker 4 (02:17:47):
What was any of that true?

Speaker 1 (02:17:49):
I mean?

Speaker 15 (02:17:49):
Did we make up stories that Biden had secret servers
in the basement of his home communicating with the Kremlin
in Russia?

Speaker 8 (02:17:56):
You know?

Speaker 15 (02:17:57):
Did we strip Biden off the ballot of multiple states.
We take Biden off of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook
and try and silence his those voice so he couldn't communicate.
Did we for Biden in the courtroom every single day?
Ninety one felony counts that have all been overturned for
my father now right, for nonsense to try and keep
him off of a campaign trail and to try and

(02:18:17):
destroy his life.

Speaker 4 (02:18:19):
You know, do we do any of that? The answer
is no.

Speaker 3 (02:18:25):
You got one case with Komy, just one. What Komy
did was provable and a lie and you know it.

Speaker 4 (02:18:35):
So trying to say like, oh this guy has fallen,
Kobe got an indictment, please.

Speaker 3 (02:18:42):
Please half this is barely This is very a smidgeon
of sort of payback. I don't know about you, but
there are people out there, and I know it. There
are so many people out there, and you know who
they are. In Magaworld. They try to shame us, but
we don't care. There were people out there that say
that Donald Trump isn't getting these folks enough. They'll say

(02:19:06):
we're not doing enough. No, no, no, they want everybody
locked up. They want Anti blos He locked up, they
want Adam Ship locked up. They want Chuck Schumer locked up.
They want to put a sombrero on Hakeem Jeffries.

Speaker 4 (02:19:22):
Every given day you'll talk about retribution.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
You haven't seen anything yet as far as I mean
talk about asking these people what they want.

Speaker 4 (02:19:33):
They're nowhere near satisfied, barely even cheered.

Speaker 3 (02:19:37):
On the indictment of Komi. They care, then, that's right.
Thirty four guilty felonies of the same thing. By the way,
thirty four guilty fellas.

Speaker 4 (02:19:50):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (02:19:50):
Absolutely, they got him, mug shot him. Oh no, and
real shot him, real shot him.

Speaker 4 (02:20:01):
All of that.

Speaker 3 (02:20:02):
You ain't get nothing that you gave yet nothing. So again,
and this is the part I keep trying to tell conservatives.
I'm gonna say it again.

Speaker 8 (02:20:13):
All of you.

Speaker 4 (02:20:13):
Please listen to my voice when they say it to you,
When they say.

Speaker 3 (02:20:18):
Well, donald Trump is using the federal government against them,
and you say yes more when they come into you
and they say, but but Donald Trump is going after
this political enemies.

Speaker 4 (02:20:29):
Not enough.

Speaker 3 (02:20:32):
And when they lose it, and they said to the screaming,
it's not screaming, I was like, I don't care what
you're screaming about.

Speaker 4 (02:20:37):
We won.

Speaker 3 (02:20:38):
And as Barack Obama says, election have consequences and we won. Yeah,
that's what it's going to be like. That's what it's
going to be like. So take yours. We had to
take it, We had to deal with it. And everything
that we said, everything that we were telling you was
going on. You told this was conspiracy, you called this

(02:20:59):
Q and you call this everything, And now it's coming
back on you. And with James Comy, you guys are
actually losing your collective minds over lurch this, Boso, this awkward,
Taylor Swift listening, Boso, this is the person.

Speaker 4 (02:21:16):
This the heel you want to climb and die on.
Shut up, nobody's paying attention to this.

Speaker 3 (02:21:22):
Dude's a clown. James Comy is a clown. Everything he
did was like right in front of everybody. You don't
even like him either. Remember this is also the same
clown that kept Hillary Clinton from getting in the White House.

Speaker 4 (02:21:39):
Remember remember how much you hated this guy. And it
shows exactly how flippant you folks are, because.

Speaker 3 (02:21:46):
In one breath, James Comy he ended Hillary Clinton's chances
to become the president. How dare he do not? He
put his finger on the scale. Then he's indeted and
Donald Trump is awful. Like you can't even figure which
lean you're in, Like, figure yourselves out. Nobody cares. I

(02:22:07):
don't mind. Look, I want all of you in disarray.
I want you folks losing your collective minds. I want
you screaming, pull all your hair out, get on the floor,
stomp your.

Speaker 4 (02:22:17):
Feet though a tantrum. God bless you. Please do whatever
you gotta do, whatever you gotta do.

Speaker 3 (02:22:22):
Scream, holler, cry in your pillow, more and more tears,
call us all the names in the book.

Speaker 4 (02:22:29):
Nobody cares. You have no voice. You're silent, like you're
a deaf mute. All we hear is this. That's all
I hear, Buddy, that's all I hear, none at all.
Nobody cares. That's all. Go don't care. What's up Wall Street?

Speaker 13 (02:22:54):
Hi?

Speaker 24 (02:22:55):
You know when James Cohenby got fired by Trump in
twenty seventeen, you should have fired him on the first day.
That was a huge mistake.

Speaker 4 (02:23:02):
I thought that was exactly what was going to happen too.

Speaker 24 (02:23:06):
Yeah, he thought he could rehabilitate him. Trump always had
this ceiling. He could rehabilitate the people that were out
to get him and he was so wrong about that.

Speaker 4 (02:23:13):
Do you think that way?

Speaker 3 (02:23:14):
But hold on on that on that front, because you know,
Robert F. Kennedy said something interesting. He was on a podcast,
on this hip hop podcast one. You should look it
up too, it's really really good.

Speaker 4 (02:23:26):
But Robert F.

Speaker 3 (02:23:26):
Kennedy was on this hip hop It was something called
math math Haffa math Haffa a podcast and they usually
just do hip hop on it, but Robert Kennedy went
on it and he said that Donald Trump told him
when he was on the campaign trail that when he
first got into office, he said, not only was he
so surprised that he had won, but he really didn't

(02:23:47):
know what he was supposed to do when he got
into Washington, so he listened to all of the swamp.
So everybody that he hired were people who someone else
had vouched for. If he had known better, like he
knows now, he would have never taken the advice.

Speaker 4 (02:24:01):
But he didn't know.

Speaker 3 (02:24:02):
So and that's I think the reason why Komy stayed
because people were like, nah, he's a good guy, and
you know, of course he got bit me.

Speaker 24 (02:24:09):
Yeah, you're right about that one hundred percent. He just
summed it up perfectly I would have said the same thing.
But the thing I wanted to say about Komy wasn't
long after he got fired. The same year, University of
Connecticut found one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in
their budget. They're always saying they need more money. One
hundred twenty five thousand dollars. And he went to Yukon campus,

(02:24:31):
I think the Jorgison auditorium one evening and for about
an hour you got a hundred twenty five thousand dollars
to pat himself on the back. And you'd say, well, wow,
that's outrageous. Well, about an year earlier, Hillary Clinton, they
paid her two hundred and fifty thousand to speak at
the Jorgison auditorium. So anytime you hear about Yukon crying
for money to bring those two things up, well he's
three hundred and twenty five thousand for those those two

(02:24:52):
corrupt people.

Speaker 3 (02:24:53):
You know again, listen, the circuit is crazy to pay
these folks, but they pay them.

Speaker 4 (02:24:58):
I don't know why.

Speaker 24 (02:25:00):
The Connecticut Yeah, a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (02:25:02):
They yeah with me last week, what was the.

Speaker 24 (02:25:07):
Bet you said that the budget was going to be
resolved by the end of the weekend?

Speaker 4 (02:25:12):
Oh right, the right, right, the it wasn't damn you.
I did say.

Speaker 3 (02:25:16):
I said we weren't going to get into Monday. And
here we are Wednesday and it's still closed down.

Speaker 8 (02:25:21):
I do you know what?

Speaker 4 (02:25:25):
Okay, fine, what's the next what's the next deadline?

Speaker 5 (02:25:28):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (02:25:29):
You header tailors?

Speaker 4 (02:25:30):
Okay, I will call okay, I will call it. I
say that we get.

Speaker 3 (02:25:36):
We get back open before the next payday for federal workers,
which should be I think a week the seventeenth.

Speaker 4 (02:25:46):
Yes, I think before.

Speaker 3 (02:25:48):
I think before payday, because remember, if nobody gets paid
forget about it. Democrats are sunk if they if they
if they avoid that paycheck.

Speaker 24 (02:25:58):
So I'm gonna go right now, well before that date,
O courage, you heard about Trump may suddenly drop what
he's doing and head to Egypt to sign the peace
agreement with Hamas and get the hostages out.

Speaker 4 (02:26:10):
I would do that.

Speaker 24 (02:26:10):
Very worried about him going there. Well, remember we were,
we were working fascinations.

Speaker 4 (02:26:16):
We were worried about him last time.

Speaker 3 (02:26:18):
I think, well, you know what, I'm never ever going
to stop being worried about him, to be honest with you,
but yeah, every time he travels. In fact, the last
travel he did to to the UK. I was concerned.
I was like, why am I so worried? But every
time he gets on the damn plane.

Speaker 24 (02:26:34):
But well, I think you can. I think you can
check this out on YouTube. I haven't checked lately. I
was watching on live TV think CBS back in nineteen
eighty unwashed Saddat I just made that big peace agreement
with Israel. You know, it was the big thing with Carter.
And he was in Egypt outside the palace or whatever.

(02:26:55):
He was outside armed guards. He was at this big
long table with a canopy over it on live TV,
and you know, he's signing everything. Everybody was applauding.

Speaker 8 (02:27:04):
And what happened.

Speaker 24 (02:27:05):
All of a sudden, a convoy of military jeeps and
stuff racing up with machine guns and they wiped out everybody.
And that's how we got assassinated, right on live TV.

Speaker 5 (02:27:15):
You know.

Speaker 24 (02:27:16):
It was over the peace agreement with Israel. This was
nineteen eighty. Yeah, so I don't know what the security
is like in Egypt. I mean, they took out dozens
of people.

Speaker 3 (02:27:25):
I expect this detail listen so at this particular point,
as far as it comes, a secret service in the
security detail of the president of the United States the
way that they colossally screwed up last year in July.
I would imagine like this, this is going to be
probably the most predicted detail ever in history, because we

(02:27:45):
know there's an active threat against this guy. So I
seriously doubt it. But you know, like I said, I
get nervous every time he gets on the plane.

Speaker 4 (02:27:53):
So I'm with you, especially this.

Speaker 24 (02:27:55):
Because Sama Bin Laden's right hand man was at the
tip of that assassination. I said that he was one
of the isis or whatever. He was right there. He
was part of the hit team.

Speaker 4 (02:28:04):
Oh okay, all right, thank you about little research on that.
I will thank you.

Speaker 24 (02:28:10):
Man.

Speaker 3 (02:28:10):
All right, we got to get up out of here tomorrow.
We got more news and more views than you can
shake a stick at.

Speaker 4 (02:28:15):
That's an interesting shell, and that certainly I don't know
fire to it. As I always say, radio is free.
So we thank you for paying attention.

Speaker 3 (02:28:22):
Remember to keep JC in your heartshit in your mind,
Joan Patrick, you love you have me, miss you.

Speaker 4 (02:28:26):
Remember that PATIC is not planning, so plan your work
and work your plan.

Speaker 3 (02:28:29):
We'll have some audio from that Antifa summit that Donald
Trump was having today. Let's get to Mark Christopher. He's
gonna BPS traffic center.

Speaker 2 (02:28:36):
Good night, sir Phil.

Speaker 10 (02:28:38):
If you're traveling eight south down, we've got some emergency
roadwork going on in Naugatuck between ext. Twenty six and
twenty five B. The right lane is out there, so
you want to stay to the left with that.

Speaker 4 (02:28:47):
Oh right, sir, all right, Roach, send me a text.
Let me know how that goes. I already sent you
a text. But I'm yeah, oh yeah, I'm gonna call.
I'm gonna call him. Get out of here. Yeah. They
should be able to do it.

Speaker 10 (02:28:58):
You should be Mark Christopher with a light one undred
point five commuter guide.

Speaker 4 (02:29:04):
He was doing light one oh five.

Speaker 9 (02:29:06):
Clear, breezy and chillier tonight with a load.

Speaker 4 (02:29:09):
Oh well, I took it. I took it tomorrow, yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (02:29:15):
Clear and code tomorrow night low thirty two.

Speaker 4 (02:29:20):
All right, everybody.

Speaker 3 (02:29:21):
Hey, by the way, someone was asking me in the
chat room, so this is kind of between us, so
you can know this. So somebody was in the chat
room and sent me a message and said, just like,
you know, hey, what's going on you know with the
with the top of the news hour, and as I've
tried to explain this before. I know this is probably
falling on deaf ears, but it is important that you
understand this. I wouldn't tell you this if it weren't true.

(02:29:42):
So I guess our arrangement are our agreement. As the
top of the our news, we get our feed from CBS.
You might know that we play some audio from CBS
News because they're out in the field, especially if we're
coming covering national news, and you always hear CBS News this,
CBS News that, and a lot of people always say
it's like.

Speaker 4 (02:29:59):
Reese, it's so left leaning blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (02:30:01):
CBS News is until now, and you might have meant
you might have noticed yesterday when I was doing headlines,
I mentioned Barry Weiss of the Free Press and the
Free Press being purchased by Paramount for one hundred and
fifty million dollars in Barry Weiss being named the editor
in chief at CBS News. So she just got that job.

(02:30:24):
And Barry Weiss and go look her up. She is
a very down the middle, honest journalist. She did, and
I might even play it tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (02:30:36):
She did this.

Speaker 3 (02:30:37):
Interview with this guy at Harvard University who is talking
about violence with police and that's kind of been her
stick now is talking about the news or doing it
from an angle of truth and honesty. She's gotten sick
and tired of the left leaning and the lying news.
She's been embarrassed as a news anchor for a long time.
She's trying to.

Speaker 4 (02:30:56):
Get credibility back to the offices of CBS News.

Speaker 3 (02:31:00):
So give it a little while. We'll see what happens.
If CBS News and her job as editor in chief
is going to mean anything, you're going to see it
in the work product. So stand by, be you know,
just be patient. I promise you changes are coming on
the CBS angle and you'll see it. All right, you guys,
have a good night.

Speaker 4 (02:31:18):
I love you. Guys. Be good to each other.
