It's Race on the radio right now on w t
i S News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
It's that day, people. You know what that day is.

hunt the radio. That's right, Nut Beggars, scaley wats across
the fruit of plays. What's going on?

Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's res on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten eighty.
Plenty of things to get into today. A hearty congratulations
to the President of the United States. And that's just
for bringing back Columbus Day. I'm sorry, I'm gonna do

(01:35):
it again. Indigenous People's Day. Come on, you folks really
think I was gonna last? Right? It looked good, right,
it looked good. It looked good. That's a part of
you out there that was going to say, yeah, man,
this thing, this Indigenous People's Day, that might stick. It

(01:55):
looked good. No no, no, no, it wasn't. It wasn't.
And it's nice to get back to a little bit
of normalcy. Not that we can't celebrate indigenous folks, you know,
not that we cannot celebrate the natives. I'm just saying,

(02:17):
no more change in stuff, because not all change is good.
I try to explain this, folks to you for a
long time. Not all change is good. They tried to
sell us that nightmare back in two thousand and eight,
Remember that hope and change. What's wrong? Rees? What's wrong?
You can't deal with change? Everything changes. I'm like, nobody

(02:40):
said I couldn't deal with change, But you guys keep
trying to sell change like it's always good. It's like,
what's wrong with this one? I said, not all changes good.
What do you mean your mama dies tomorrow good change?

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Well?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
No, I mean that's a change, right.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
You could diagnosed with an incurable disease. That's changed you
live in your life. All of a sudden, doctor tells
you got six months buddy, change, Yes, good, Not so much.
All of a sudden you have to start changing your
plans for the future. Not all change is good. And

(03:21):
guess what, change, as far as it being good, is subjective.
Because you guys thought that change was good didn't mean
it was going to be good for the rest of us.
I mean, really think about it. Folks. Ask people about
their healthcare premiums today and they will tell you there
ain't a lot of change that they're happy about. It's

(03:49):
all nonsense. You know what I used to say when
people used to say to me, hope and change. I
used to say, I hope after it's over, I at
least still have change in my pocket. Some of us
did not. And you know who you are. Why am
I going back to old BARACKI who singing Obama? Why
am I even going back there?

Speaker 8 (04:10):
You know?

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Why?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
How did you not read this? The tea leaves the
writing on the wall as they say, how could you not?
People are now talking about Donald Trump getting the Nobel
Peace Prize and give it up because he might. He
might get it. He might get it, not that it matters,

(04:33):
Not that it matters. I'll be honest with you. No
one really cares. Maybe me just a little bit, but
nobody really cares. But my opening monologue has everything to
do with that. And that's because if Trump does win
the Nobel Peace Prize, it is the death knell on

(04:53):
the legacy of Barack. Who's saying Obama it just is
I know it, I know it. Everybody knows it. What
has been the one thing related to that award that
many people were upset about when it came to Barack Obama,
It was the fact that he had done nothing, He

(05:14):
had achieved no peace. He got the award simply based
upon the fact that he existed. You want to hear
the irony of that. It happened on this day in
two thousand and nine. Yeah, ABC News was so eager
to post it today. On this day in two thousand

(05:35):
and nine, former President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace
Prize from what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called this extraordinary
effort to strengthen international diplomacy because he wanted it to
be strengthened, not because he had actually done anything, but
he had thought about it or talked about it or

(05:57):
Obama tweeted about it, just because he wanted peace. I
want peace. That's all I ever want one. I want
peace for everybody. What's this the Nobel Peace Fries just
for talking about it? Well, I didn't know that, isy,
Thank you, I appreciate you. Congratulations to me, and I

(06:18):
think me that was Barack Obama. This would really destroy
the legacy that he is the most transformational president in
our history. It won't even because the only thing they'll
have really to talk about is he was black. That's it.

(06:43):
That's all they'll have. They know it. It bothers them,
and they're struggling. They're struggling like hell. But before we
get to the happy place, we have to go to
some dark crevices. I'd like to go back to that
song by is It Is It? Neil? Is It Neil

(07:05):
Sadaka who sang the song do you remember the times
of your life?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, we're on the brink of World War three because
Donald Trump took the worst possible.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Option given to him in a slide show.

Speaker 9 (07:19):
In this country, we have begun to overestimate the dangers
of impeachment and underestimate the dangers of a deranged president
retaining control over a nuclear hyperpower.

Speaker 10 (07:30):
We cannot wait around while Donald Trump is in control
of the nuclear weapon.

Speaker 11 (07:35):
Your objection is potentially going into World War three can't
be proceduralst.

Speaker 12 (07:39):
Danger of the Trump presidency is that we are always
just a Trump whim away.

Speaker 13 (07:47):
From nuclear war.

Speaker 14 (07:48):
They say it's world War three, but I'm looking at
my window. It's very quiet, and those smoking crators.

Speaker 15 (07:53):
Out there has to be told that it's his job
to avoid World War three.

Speaker 16 (07:58):
One Democratic congressman, send me a note this evening and say,
this president wants this war.

Speaker 17 (08:03):
The future administration needs to find a way to put an.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
End to the forever wars in new normal, and the
new normal is forever war.

Speaker 18 (08:10):
But there's a big difference between ending the forever wars,
which he wants to do responsible and what seems to
be President Trump's rather itchy twitter thinger.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
The objective needs to be to end the forever wars.
Congress does not want to go to war. Now is
the time to start putting restraints on this president. And
again they've been giving him Kareen lights all the way. Yeah,
remember that. Do you remember the times of your life?
And remember in twenty twenty when Joe Biden got into

(08:43):
the White House there would be no new wars under
Donald Trump's rain as president. And remember what they told
us about that first day in the Oval office.

Speaker 16 (09:00):
I remember anybody who has any connection to reality about
what is going on around them should have watched that
and said, the adults are back in the.

Speaker 9 (09:12):
Room once again in the White House.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Who's just simply doing the work.

Speaker 17 (09:21):
Really, the theme I would say is the adults.

Speaker 19 (09:23):
Are back still.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
It is a relief to have adults in charge.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Now, we have adults in the White House.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Okay, the adults are.

Speaker 20 (09:31):
Back in the room.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
There is a sense, I think.

Speaker 20 (09:34):
The world over that the adults have returned.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
We have an adult in the White House now, and
it's glorious. Yes, it's glorious. Do you remember the times
of your life? I remember it, I remember it. And
what all little folks again, some of those same folks,
they were the ones that were telling everybody what you

(09:58):
should be afraid of this president. Awful, it's gotta be
a world wardway. He's got a hold in a nuclear button.
It's gonna be World War three. It's gonna be calamity
for all of us, Wasn't it. Wasn't it. We couldn't
get that guy back in office. And then he gets
back in office, and those same folks over at that

(10:18):
same network. I wonder what tune they're singing today Israel.

Speaker 11 (10:23):
Make no mistake, this is a huge night potentially the
end of the nightmare for people, for the people of gods,
that this is going to be an enormous relief for
the people of Israel, potentially the end of a two.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Year long nightmare.

Speaker 14 (10:35):
One of the things about honesty and citizenship and a
sense of would I would say mature about what people
democracy should do is even if someone with whom you
disagree about ninety nine things does the hundred really well,

(10:56):
you can say so because that's what.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Intellectual are esty is.

Speaker 14 (11:01):
And so all credit President Trump and is, as you say,
unconventional team. What do you make of what the President
has said in a social media post that they've signed
off in the first phase of the piece plan.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
What does that mean to you? Anderson momentous day. There's
not much good news in the world.

Speaker 18 (11:20):
This is great news.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I am trying to hold it together. Honestly, worked on
this issue a very long time.

Speaker 12 (11:27):
The deal that President Trump is announcing played a key
part in negotiating. Is a significant change. This war was
blocked for two years. President Biden, who preceded him, was
unable to find a way to stop it. President Trump
found that found that way by being tough on both sides.

(11:48):
And you'll take a victory lap for sure over the
next few days.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
And there's no question that if this goes as planned,
if we see those remaining hostages freed in Israel begin
its withdrawal, it is a remarkable achievement and President Trump
most certainly deserves credit for his role. He has done
this through diplomacy, pressure, and the sheer force of his
personality and persistence. He dispatched diplomats again and again, made

(12:13):
threats just in the last few days to Moss say again,
if they did not sign the deal, all hell would
break loose, and they had the bombing of Iran as
an example of that. But perhaps most importantly, he pushed
Benjamin Nett and Yahoo in wighs his predecessor and others
have not Robin, So what's up?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
So what's up?

Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's all I'm saying. So what's up? You got nothing?
I mean, come on, it deserves acknowledgment. I mean, doesn't
he just a little bit of acknowledgment. Now, I'm not saying. Look,
as far as I'm concerned, President Trump, as far as
a victory lap is concerned, he ain't out of the weeds. Yet.

(12:59):
We have until Monday and Tuesday, until we actually start
seeing hostages released. We know it's going to be kind
of difficult because in the way he described it today,
and many others have been describing it that I've talked to,
saying that getting those who have died is going to
be a serious ordeal to make sure that every one

(13:20):
of those individuals are recovered, because there may have been
some folks that they lost track of, quite possibly and
who may not be returned because they don't know where
they are. This isn't this isn't a clean exchange. There's
gonna be some dirtiness that goes on here, and there's

(13:42):
gonna be some concessions. We also know, because I watched
the press conference this morning, there are going to be
some lifers on the Israeli side who are in prison
who have to be released as part of the negotiation.
They don't have a list of some of those individuals. Well,
some of them they have that are not going to
be released, but they have some of the people who
are going to be released. It Many Israelis are not

(14:03):
particularly happy with them being released, but have decided, you
know what, it's a reasonable concession because at the end
of the day, no one's dying. No one's got to
look up in the sky worry about the Iron Dome.
Nobody's gotta worry about people going through tunnels and snatching kids.

(14:24):
So a victory laugh. I won't go so far, but
we gotta call a thing a thing. I love that term. Now,
that's what the left used to use all the time,
and I'm bringing it back just for them. The thing
has got to be the thing they told us, they
warned us, and at one point, and that's one thing
I want to ask all the detractors, at what point

(14:47):
do you lay down the vitriol and then join with
the rest of us shouting, celebrating, shaking each other's hands
and saying, you know why, I didn't like you, buddy,
I didn't like your guy. But you know what, I'm
glad he did this. You know what, I can celebrate
him doing this because there's a good thing for everyone

(15:08):
he's actually going to get. He might be able to
achieve peace in the Middle East. Sure they're gonna be
some straggler, Sure they're gonna be some radical fundamentalists, but
you know what, got a lot of countries on board.
Oh and the other thing is how did he do it?
Remember the T word? All of you were screaming and
hollering about tariffs through one The one thing and this

(15:34):
is something I've said ever since I was a kid.
Anytime I watched these movies, I always say, what do
we always find out at the end of the day,
It's always about the money. If you want to change
the minds of anyone, you want to take the biggest, bigot,
the angriest individual, whatever the subject is. If that person

(15:56):
were to win the lotto tomorrow, to put a million
dollars in their pocket, we didn't have to worry about
a thing, everything that ails them personally done. So they
forget all about it because now they have the means
to do whatever they want, and they don't have to
concern themselves over the trifling things. They would just take
their money and take care of themselves. They got nothing

(16:18):
to be angry about. It's funny, as Cyndy Lauper put it,
money changes everything, and deep down, when everyone else thought
that it was about this thing and that thing. And
because these people are that types and they think according.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
To this.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
That a businessman, a real estate mogul, a billionaire, a
reality show star was able to get down in the
trenches with these people in and say, how about we
make this beneficial for you and your people. You could

(16:59):
do big business between Israel and everyone else, and your
people will have a wealth they've never known. It will
cure all their ales. And they thought about it and said,
you know, that is the biggest problem we have. I mean,
if you ask any leftists, that's what they tell you
every day. What they're trying to do is get economic

(17:22):
higher key. They're trying to take it away from those
who have it, try to redistribute it to the others.
And if people just had that, their lives would be better. Okay, hey, leftists,
looks like it worked. Now how about you all get

(17:43):
on board and celebrate with the rest of us? Or
is this not enough? That's okay. We've got three more
years and all I want is victory and victory and victory.
If we could play the all I do is win, win, win,
no matter what what, I would love that I would

(18:04):
do that right now. I'm just loving the wins. I'm
digging them. I'm digging them and you should too. This
is not me mushing your face any This is me
celebrating and you can join in. Hey, parties, open no cover,
We'll be back. It's recent radio on WTIC News Talk
ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Fan of wt I S Then do us a favor,
download the free Honesty app and favorite WTIC.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Some of the stuff that we got coming up during
the show today, of course, is the stupidest thing I
read today, and it has to do with the Gulf
of America and a small town called Sharon, Connecticut. Stay
tuned for that. Also, is it me or did you
think of every Connecticut Democrat as you watched the Katie

(18:53):
Porter meltdown? If you don't know what that is, stay
tuned for that. We'll bring that up within the three
o'clock an hour as well. We got some new news
as it relates to between Rounds are great and beautiful
sponsor and something they're doing to help the needy, especially
those with food insecurities as they refer to it negro

(19:14):
nonsense is today. Can't wait for that. I know you
can't eat the Thursday. But this one's gonna be a
little different. And this one's actually a personal one for
my friend Mattio in Bristol, So you stay tuned for that.
That's gonna happen roughly in about the four o'clock hour.
And this story has really got me upset because and

(19:38):
again I cannot believe that this organization is in the
news again and it's Connecticut Deep And did you if
you haven't heard this story about Middletown and the trash
collection there. This is really going I'm like, deep, what
is going on? I don't know why, but it's like,

(19:59):
maybe I'm first person to mention it. Maybe I am.
If there's someone else out there, please let me know.
I don't want to take credit if someone else was
already on this, but I'm really starting to believe I'm
the only person pointing out that Connecticut is a damn
toxic wasteland that has no idea what it's doing on
the environmental front. They talk a damn good game about

(20:22):
how much we're environmental layers out and they are a
joke in need. The Environmental Protection Group Deep is a joke,
a clown show, and from what it turns out in
his story, a bunch of liars as well. I read
this story. I don't even live in Middletown yet, but

(20:43):
I'm ticked. I'm like violently ticked off. And the reason
why is because I've dealt with this before. When I
see these programs, the first thing I do when I
see them, I go, what is wrong with you people? Why?
Are you falling for this nonsense? Did anybody means test this?
And know they're always so gung ho, and you see

(21:03):
the smiling faces on these bozos, who is like, God,
this is gonna be great. I can't wait to get
it started. And then it falls flat and you're ask them, Okay,
what are we gonna do now to go? Oh, no
contingency plan. It drives me crazy. Laurie is in Glastonbury.

Speaker 19 (21:21):
Hello, Laurie, heyring people's noses.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
I said I wasn't. I said I wasn't.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
Okay, listen, I am, And can we just congratulate the
Toronto Blue Jays for making everyone in the baseball wall happy?

Speaker 3 (21:41):
You mean by beating the Yankees? Why not? Why not?
I'll give it to them. I watched a little bit
of that game, but I got distracted. I watched, I saw,
I saw the score, and I just went, Okay, this
might be over.

Speaker 7 (21:59):
I am.

Speaker 21 (22:00):
I am.

Speaker 8 (22:01):
So it's it's a blight of the world today.

Speaker 22 (22:04):
This guy is bluer, more colorful Laurence.

Speaker 8 (22:13):
At least they are playing golf.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
You know, I thought it was fantastic that during you know,
the uh, the seventh inning stretch, like during the post game,
in the pregame, you know, they have Big Poppy, David
Ortiz and uh who's sitting there, Derek Jeter and also
Alex Rodriguez. I think they do the whole the same show. Yeah,
it's not that bad. But anyway, David Ortiz, even after

(22:45):
Boston had been eliminated, would it look like New York
was getting there butt handed to them? Big Poppy did
not shy from ripving the Yankees right there in the
studio because it was such a great He's like you,
He's like, I don't care that we lost, you guys
losing to the Blue Jays. It's sweet revenge.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
Really, and listen, I will always.

Speaker 22 (23:10):
I'm sorry, but I will.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
I don't like the guy. No, this hold on, What
was the moment What was the moment that you that
you really hated him? I've got two which was the
when was the moment you couldn't stand Alex Rodriguez?

Speaker 23 (23:23):
We probably have the same too.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
Okay when him and as and ver Tech got into
a fight and Jason Vertec said, uh, nah, buddy, we're
not gonna.

Speaker 21 (23:33):
Let you talk like that.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Oh is that from the you're talking about? What Veritech
was was drawn with him from the mound.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
Yeah, okay, yeah, and then and then he just he
just went all in.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
So there's that, there's that time, but there's also the
fact like there was a it was during the that
says playoff series and I believe the same playoff series
and had these huge him for help.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I knew you were gonna say it. I knew it.
He was running to running to first base, running to
first base. He had him dead to rights. They had
him dead to rights as an out, and he slapped
the ball out of his hand. It was a bush
league move. It really made people angry at at him.

(24:28):
That was one. Here's the other one that that really
destroyed it for me. And and it was a part
of the steroid era because the one person, the one
person who kept telling everybody that Alex Rodriguez was on steroids. Two,
why am I forgetting his name all of a sudden
from the from the Oakland? A's uh ah, he wrote,

(24:51):
he wrote the book. He was the big whistleblower. Gosh,
somebody's gonna know it. Jose Canseco, that's right, Jose Canseco.
He blew the whistle and he said to everybody, say
anybody else, any big names, and he said, he said
Alex Rodriguez, and though baseball world went nuts when that happened.

(25:12):
And of course then there's that moment where he has
to do the interview with all of the Yankees surrounding him.
Derek Jeter is there, and in that moment, that's like,
for me, it was so embarrassing that the fact that
the Yankees organization had to put all their teammates to
stand behind them and to support that guy who was

(25:34):
a cheater. And here's the part Lord that really made
me hate him, because why did you remember the time
or the date. I don't remember the exact date, but
I remember the time when Alex Rodriguez was named the
highest paid baseball player ever as a hust as a
Texan and that was like the biggest news. And he

(25:56):
got that contract while he was on steroids, Yeah, because
that was the time he was on And I looked
at that as he didn't deserve that money. He should
have paid that money back. He should have never been
allowed to keep it. No team should have been allowed
even when he got traded to the Yankees. No team
should have been on the hook for that money, especially
the moment where he admitted at the time that he

(26:18):
was on it. He was on the Texans. He never
should have been allowed to keep any of that money.
Nobody should have been made to pay it because he cheated.
And that was for me, that was the final straw anyway.
But the slam, the slapping of the hand was definitely
the clincher.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
I mean, it's not for nothing, but he just and
I think what kind of just puts a cherry on
top of the Sunday is his lack of integrity in
every area of his life.

Speaker 23 (26:43):
And it's dude, like, your name.

Speaker 24 (26:44):
Is just mud and yet here you are sitting at
the Fox table.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Yeah you know, I mean, And don't you get mad
at Big Poppy writing you because you deserve every last
bit of it, you.

Speaker 22 (26:58):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
He's got so many other I don't want to make
this all about baseball, but there's two others now that
I'm bumping into my head. Do you remember that this
bozo was the worst thing ever? And I remember it
was what was his name, Carver that was announcing with
Joe Buck, Tim Carver. They were, yeah, the World Series.

(27:19):
It was during the World Series, Tim Carver and Joe
Buck during one of the World Series. I can't remember
which one it was, but it was during the World Series.
And and uh, Alex Rodriguez announced his retirement in the
middle of the World Series. Yeah, and Carver openly said,
what a classics.

Speaker 7 (27:37):
I just want to announce my retirement.

Speaker 9 (27:39):
You know.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, yeah, what a classless move. Even Carver said, like,
who would do that? It was so classless of him
to do that during the World Series. I'm like to
make it about him. What a joke. I thought that
was ridiculous. But yeah, that's you're right. Oh, but I
was gonna say. The other one was this was off
the off the field was he started promoting men's makeup.

(28:02):
That was definitely that was it. Did you know about that? No, oh,
go look it up, go look it up. Alex Rodriguez
is to do Alex Rodriguez. Yes, he it's it was
a whole ad campaign where he was it's so it's
it's Alex Rodriguez putting on men's makeup. They were trying

(28:24):
to make that a thing.

Speaker 7 (28:25):
Oh yeah, well, you know, just just bless his.

Speaker 8 (28:28):
Heart, you know what I mean. And oh, and by
the way, thank you for I don't know.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Why I'm ever surprised.

Speaker 7 (28:36):
I shouldn't be, but it just gives me joy. When
you reference obscure songs.

Speaker 15 (28:43):
By artists, nobody really knows all the obscure songs to you.

Speaker 8 (28:48):
So when you pull out money changes everything by Cindy
Lap of course because it's real.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah, it's one of my favorite songs on that album.
It's one of my favorite songs.

Speaker 15 (28:59):
It is.

Speaker 23 (29:00):
I saw her live.

Speaker 17 (29:01):
I saw her live at the New Haven Coliseum back
in the day, and it was amazing.

Speaker 23 (29:06):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, she's Cindy's great regardless of her politics. I'll always
love her. She's one of my favorites growing up.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
You got it, Thanks, Laurie, thank you, you got it. Yeah,
Laurie's love, her love of baseball is unmatched. I'm sorry, guys,
it just is. I'm sorry, but I love her. I
love her love of baseball. She makes me keep on
my toes like I'm watching more baseball because of Laurie. Now,
do you know that? Like Laurie because I just don't

(29:34):
want to be caught off guard with her. She will
throw something obscure out there and I'm just like, Okay,
now I gotta watch the games. Now, I gotta be
on top of it. We gotta take a break. We'll
come back more news, more views. Like I said, between
rounds and doing something great. I want to give them
some props for that. If you may have seen them
on Fox sixty one, I think yesterday with the new

(29:56):
program they've got going on that's related to the Connecticut
food Share. It is great and I hope that you'll
be a part of it. We'll mention that we've got
this story about the stupidest thing I've read today, the
Gulf of America shrimp. If you haven't heard of the story,
we'll tell you about it. In the Stupidest Things, will
break that down in Middletown trash Why did deep make
these folks by blue and orange trash bags? Why would

(30:20):
they make Middletown do that? Now here? It's not just
the Middletown, it's everywhere. What he says, Aaron Judge sucks.
What's wrong with Aaron Judge? I don't like it because
he's a Yankee him personally.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Anyway, It's Reese on the radio on News ten WT.

Speaker 18 (30:36):
I see.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
I just saw one of the greatest questions ever on
X right now from a person called American values, and
they wrote this. They said, four hour drive and you
can listen to only one artist. Who's that artist? And
I'm saying to myself, I don't know if they if
they mean that, the person like it can't be a group,

(30:58):
which sucks because you know that would for me, it
would automatically be De La Soul, my favorite rap group
of all time. So I can think of like, I
can put a playlist, then put their playlist together, and
I can listen to that four hours Easy Breezy. They
have enough albums to just do that. But if it's
one artist, one for four hours, I'd have to say,

(31:19):
not the entire collection of his work, but I would
say certain Prince albums. Certain not all of them, but
I would definitely do like a couple, who would you
who would you put out there? Rowland? If you're gonna
listen to one artist, for Wendy says Pearl, Jam, I
think that this person. I think technically I'm want to
stick with the one individual because they're saying artists instead

(31:42):
of like a group or music like, they didn't make
it general, so I'm picking person. I'm gonna have to
say Prince because I like a lot of his very
obscure stuff. What would you say, Roland, if you had
to like one person as an artist, not a band.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Well, everybody's gonna say, Michael.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Jackson, Yeah, that's exactly what Wendy's in the chat room, Prince.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
But I would say, hmmmm.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I can't think of anything, right. It's a little difficult.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
If you did a group and it'll be different, but yeah,
group of yeah, okay, we'll find we'll broaden it up
because a person is kind of hard, because you gotta
go with the usual, the Prince, Michael Jackson, you go
with me, Madonna.

Speaker 10 (32:27):
I could do a person, but it's not gonna be
anybody that anybody thinks it's worth it.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
No, it's okay, Well if that doesn't matter. It's your choice.
It's your four hour drive. Who would it be.

Speaker 10 (32:36):
I can listen to uh for four hours. I can
listen to Buster.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Buster Rhyme's good choice. That's not obscure at all. That's
a great choice. Michael b says, Boy George, not a
bad one. Michael Richard says Elvis Costello. I gotta be
honest with you, Richard. I listened to Elvis Costello's greatest hits.
I remember three, maybe four records. I remember asking that

(33:00):
question here. I was like, who's an Elvis Costello fan?
I think we just found one. Richard's an Elvis Costello fan.
Wendy said, I can do Mark Anthony. I don't know
much about his work, but he's from my neck of
the witch. He's from Spanish Harlem.

Speaker 18 (33:13):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Jason says, Elton John. Good list, that's what he's got,
A good, good track record. I think you can put
do four hours of Elton John. No one's mentioned Bruce Springstein,
to which I will applaud.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
It.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Isn't there a new movie coming out about him?

Speaker 7 (33:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
That's right, Yeah, there's a new movie coming out of it.
I think the the star of that TV show, The
Bear or whatever.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
That's a show.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Is it a good show?

Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Well it's culinary, right, that's why you like it?

Speaker 21 (33:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah, okay, we.

Speaker 10 (33:44):
Check the shows the nuances of how things could get
real crazy, real fast, but you still.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Have to you have to be able to deal with it.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah, I would. I would definitely check it out. Wendy says, Bruce.
I'm again not a Bruce Springsteen fan. I know a
lot of people growing up, especially people I knew out
of New Jersey loved him. He was a god to them,
and I just I couldn't feel him.

Speaker 9 (34:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Wendy says, yes, the bear is awesome. Billy Joel. That's
a good pick, Laurie, Billy Joel, you can't go wrong there,
Billy Joe. I'm not gonna lie. There's a lot. I've
actually been on a drive for an hour with Billy
Joel Records and been like, there was a two or
three songs I didn't even know Billy Joel did, and

(34:30):
I knew them, and I was like, cause I thought
it was he did one song that I actually this
is true. I'm gonna find out which one it is.
He had performed. It was a studio song, of course,
but he had done a song that was so good.
I swore it was Led Zeppelin who did the song
and was in the car and I was like, yeah,
this is Led Zeppelin, right, and they were like, no,

(34:50):
that's Billy Joel. I'm like, not gonna remember what song
it was. I really really. In fact, the band who
does my intro, the Panics, their new set has uh
I may be right, which is seven Dust Matt Wrights. Uh,
let me see who else. Let me see. I can

(35:11):
listen to Aaron Lewis for hours. I'm not sure who.
I don't know who Aaron Lewis is. I don't think I'm.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Familiar with them. Who is the artist from this the
main song in the Lost Boys movie?

Speaker 7 (35:25):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Okay, the main song you're talking about, Thou Shalt Not
Kill or Cry for the children. That's a very obscure band.
No one knows who they are, and I don't think
they've ever done I don't think they've ever done another.

Speaker 17 (35:40):
Hit.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah, I think there was the biggest hit to date. Hey, look,
Daniel from the Panics is in the chat room. What's
going on, Budy? I love your version of the bill
Billy Joel song. I love the new set. They were
great the other day. We saw them this weekend. Uh,
the doors are too limited. Phil Collins, Kathy, you know what, Kathy,
I'm giving you Phil Collins. You can you forget about

(36:04):
that guy Phil Collins. Even though he got a little
campy with the Disney Broadway stuff, Phil Collins is still
stellar because I'm telling you not. Since Thriller has there
been an album with so many hits on it, Like
No Jacket required. Now, please tell me you've heard that

(36:25):
album before. You've had to have heard that album before.
Phil Collins, that that album no Jack, no Jacket required.
There are so many songs on that album. I think
that you could. Yeah, Sue Studio. You can listen to
that from beginning to end. And it's got a hit
on it there everyone. Uh oh. The lead singer of

(36:46):
Stained My one of my good friends, just saw them
in concert, Michael b. Yeah. That's a good. That's a
good he's a good singer too. Yeah. There's a lot
of good stuff I could I could think of, But damn,
Phil Collins, I think I could do four hours. I
could do four hours of that. Uh, Ralph Raoul all

(37:10):
of the matricks of the Mavericks. I don't I'm not
sure familiar with it. What were you gonna say?

Speaker 25 (37:14):
Roland?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Oh, we gotta take a break. All right, let's get
to the news room. But John Silva, he's in the
w T I see newsroom at three Sun Radio.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
We'll be back on the radio making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now until a U T I see news, talk to Nady.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Hey, I want to give a shout out to Joey
V in YouTube. In the chat room, he says, I'm sorry,
but the Times of your Life is Paul Anka and
not Neil Sedaka. And I knew I had it wrong.
That's why I said. I said, like, who was it?
Neil Sedaka? I knew that I was wrong as soon
as I said it. Paul Ancock did not come to
my mind. He should have, and thank you. And I
confuse Sedaka and Anka the same way that I confuse

(37:57):
Ingelbert humper Dink with Wayne Newton when I'm not thinking
I know who they. I know they don't even look alike.
But I do it all the time. I do it
all the time. But I thank you for the correction
because I should be I should be accurate. So Joseph
think Joey V. I I totally appreciate you. You're keeping
me up the stuff on that. Let's get to the

(38:17):
phones real quick. Paul the chemist in Enfield is on
the line. How about you, Paul.

Speaker 21 (38:23):
I'm great, Reece Limbaugh A long time. Listen, Paul the chemist,
the educator, the engineer and manufacturing let me start. You
hit the nail in the head. I've been waiting for
somebody in the media to say that deep the Department
of Environmental Energy, Environmental Protection has been mismanaged during the

(38:46):
Maloya administration and the Lemon administration. You do not put
wind turbine in the middle of the ocean. You do
not put them anywhere. Uh, you actually run clean cold
You know when it should be natural gas period period
period or waste of energy okay, or some nuclear and

(39:08):
so you're absolutely on the mark in terms of every
anything and ask any mechanic. We will always have gasoline
powered cars because the middle class and the lower class
we are not going to be taking electric buses. And
what happened to UGC Pratt mc whitney, which is now

(39:28):
rageon when they have fuel cell busses, Well, we're gonna
have fuel cell busses.

Speaker 17 (39:32):
Where the hell are they?

Speaker 7 (39:34):
Okay?

Speaker 21 (39:34):
Electricity is government control period period.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
End the story. You're one.

Speaker 18 (39:42):
Right.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Let me tell you something, Paul. I am doing my
best to get in touch with the guy by the
name of Michael Lombardi. Are you familiar with him at all?

Speaker 21 (39:52):
I did he write something about energy?

Speaker 3 (39:55):
No, he is a national geographic explorer and I'm trying
to get him on on that subject alone. Because he
has been doing these reports on YouTube and I can't
get to him. I've sent every message I could, but
he's been talking about these wind farms inside the oceans
and talks about its environmental impact on anything and everything

(40:17):
around them, and I really want him on here because
he's the foremost like scientist on this. So I was
just wondering, just off the cuff, if you might have
heard of him, but if anybody does, he's out of
Rhode Island and somebody has sent a video of his
to me about two weeks ago, and I've done everything
I can to reach out to this guy. So I'm
asking anyone who knows anyone if they can reach out

(40:40):
to this guy. His name is Mike Lombardi. He's a
Rhode Island based diving scientist, technologist, contractor, and a national
geographic explorer. So this guy knows his stuff and I
really want him on there because I wanted I want,
I want the suits to recognize what this guy knows.

(41:02):
So that's pretty much it. Paul, are you there?

Speaker 21 (41:05):
Okay? Well here here it's my quick contribution. Thank you,
working on on hydrogen okay, and energy generated by hydrogen
itself and therefore we that will be the next future
in twenty thirty five. And I will tell you that
the Democrats are They're haters and hopeless when it comes

(41:27):
to energy.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
They're missing the bus on it. They're missing the bus
on it.

Speaker 21 (41:32):
Oh and also if you need help relocating to Connecticut, Hey,
look me up. We want you here.

Speaker 17 (41:39):
I have a good one.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Thank you man, you too. I appreciate you, Paul, thank
you so much. This is right in Georgie's were wheelhouse.
How are you, George? George?

Speaker 6 (41:52):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (41:52):
What, yes, sir? What's going on?

Speaker 7 (41:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (41:55):
If you go to the website called real Time Grid
and the upper right hand corner has six months six
months data. I've ran. I ran three years of data
for three different control areas for wind from when win
energy and it's crap. Win energy is crap and a word.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Why do you think they wanted so badly other than
the usual nonsense? You know, because it's good on their resumes.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
I think a lot of it's made in Japan anyway,
not in Japan, but then China. Way here, here's here's
why it's jump power. It never rarely gets above thirty
percent generation. It's like owning a car. It only goes
twenty miles an hour. The only the only time of
year where the wind is sufficient is November, during the

(42:50):
seasonal change between you know, fall and winter. That you'll
see about a three day period when when there's a
huge wind. That's the only that's the only week of
the whole year that it's any good.

Speaker 17 (43:04):
Wou most of the time.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
Most of the time, Maurice, it runs, like I said,
about thirty percent power and rarely like eight like eight
months of the year it runs thirty percent power. And
that's the time of you know, summer, the summer, summer peaks,
summer demand. Yeah, and also the time of winter winter demand,

(43:28):
when when it's needed the most, it's a failure. It
runs it. It runs like a thirty percent power when
you need it most. It runs at thirty percent power
during summer and winter months.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
I think they just say I think aesthetically, these guys
think it makes them look environmental, and I think that's
what it's about. I don't think they know anything about
the technology or what what what the cause, what the
pros and cons of it are. I think they really
do think it's just a project.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
You're talking You're talking to a statistician who worked in
the electric who worked in the electric power industry for
forty six years. And I've got I can produce the data.
You know, it's in, it's in the computer, it's in
you know, it's in Excel, and it's right there. All

(44:18):
the politicians have to do is run the grass on
that site. It'll give you, like I said, real real
time grid. Anybody, anybody can cross reference that. Yeah, and
it shows you all the data of all the powers
in the forty eight states, everything for by the by

(44:41):
the hour, by the day.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
I got to get to some news, George, But but
thank you man, I appreciate you calling back in. And
of course after the chemist called in, let me get
to some headlines. Hartford nonprofit that has been named in
the federal investigation involving Senator Doug McCrory, has informed the

(45:06):
Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission that for all intents and purposes,
is shutting down and is not in a position to
defend its decision not to release records that would provide
clarity about the organization's spending decisions. Blue Hills Civic Association
is unable to dedicate the necessary resources or personnel to

(45:27):
effectively participate in a Freedom of information commissions proceedings at
this time. This according to Lauren Gambradella, the organization's former attorney.
She wrote that Friday to the state watchdog agency that
can compel the release of records if determined to be public.
Gambradella said that she was sending a letter as a

(45:49):
courtesy for her former client, which is Bluehills. It's currently
facing severe operational challenges and is currently in the midst
of an extensive financial audio and for all intents and purposes,
the agency is shut down. The letter continued. It's uh
in all of hoopla about the Connecticut Sun possibly moving

(46:10):
to Boston or Hartford in the city creating positive interest
for the team. People are asking it could be because
the Sun has averaged eight six and fifty three fans
for their home games, and that's up two point four
percent from last season. Connecticut last year averaged eight point
four was it eight four hundred and fifty one per

(46:31):
game a year ago, which is ranked ninth in the WNBA.
Many outlets are also reporting that the league might be
backing down from any deal to send the Connecticut Sun
to Boston. It is official speaking with Sports congratulations to
Turning Point USA. As an answer to the NFL's decision

(46:53):
to have reggaeton artist Bad Bunny perform at its halftime
show in the Super Bowl, Turning Point USA is having
its own All American halftime show that is going to
air in I guess. I guess in lockstep with or
at least at the same time. I have a poster
of it right here where the heck is and I

(47:14):
thought I had it there.

Speaker 25 (47:14):
It is.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
They are All American Halftime Show, which will be airing
on February eighth of twenty twenty six. They call it
celebrating Family, Faith and Freedom. And you can go to
TPUSA if you want to find out how you can
watch it as well. And now for the stupidest thing
I read today, Yes, you do act it.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Could very well be the stupidest person on.

Speaker 21 (47:46):
The face of the earth.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Within a day of Salisbury shoppers complaining about a frozen
shrimp label bearing a federally mandated Gulf of a Eerica
place name at the Lebon's Market, they had to have
it changed. Now, this is a ridiculous story, folks, This
is a ridiculous story. A concentrated outcry in Salisbury came

(48:15):
as a result of a Sharon resident and political organizer
named Jill Drew writing about the shrimp label in her
twice per week email blast called Today's Action, which reaches
hundreds of subscribers across the region. The outrage stends from
President Trump's January executive order to rename the body of

(48:35):
water from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Only federal agencies, she writes, within the US illegally bound
to use the title, even so, the day that the
complaints came into the store and had the distributor print
blank labels to cover the ones that were already still
in the aisle. The new labels, which are circulating now

(48:57):
eliminated the Gulf of America titled simply as product of
the USA to indicate its origin. Salisbury resident Amy Lake,
who was the first to bring the issue to Drew's attention,
said that she was surprised to see what she saw
as a national overreach showing up in Lebron's grocery store,
which is a cherished community business and they are we

(49:18):
love them there. They of course have helped our friends
over at Friendly Hands Food Back. Lake said that she
was kind of shaken come on by what she saw
as djangoism in the aisle, and moved to act. She
emphasized that the residential voice and consumer choice are the

(49:40):
tools of democracy. No, dear, we call this extortion. That's
what we call this. You could have simply just, you know,
voted with your pocketbook and not purchased or gone there.
But the demand that a company changed the name of
its product because you didn't like it. You were probably

(50:03):
the same people who were outraged when Target took down
its Pride bathing suits with the little tuck action in it.
You probably upset. I can't believe they made them do that.
You were probably all upset, right, and then turned around
and did the same thing. Hypocrite. Yeah, this is an
act of courage to speak out as a public citizen

(50:26):
to say this doesn't fly here, she said, expressing her
gratitude for all of the other shoppers who made their
opinions known, other shoppers, ladies and gentlemen. It was twenty
twenty people. It's in the article. It's in the article.
You could check it out yourself. They were able to
shut this down because they didn't like the Gulf of

(50:49):
America being on the label and they're calling that jingoistic. Again,
I don't. I mean, did it affect a shrimp in
some sort of way. I Mean, what I would love
to know is if the individual was buying shrimp when
they saw the label, like when they saw the shrimp
there and they say, Gulf of America, I can't eat

(51:11):
that shrimp now traumatized. Really, I'm always I'm always fascinated
by these people. I'm always fascinated by these people. So,
you know, I think I thank the folks over at
Lebond's for not getting in the fray, and they shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
You know.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
It looks like, look, we're just a grocery store. We're
not trying to get into that whole political thing. Like
we just want to serve our customers. We want them
to be happy. They love us here, We love them,
we love the business that they give us, you know,
And it was a wise move and they're probably like, look,
of course, we don't want to offend anybody. But on
the opposite side of that, and this is no slight

(51:54):
on them, there's there's there's a formal bullying going on here.
Just a little bit, just a little bit just saying
not like those folks over at Newtown. Oh baby, did
I get some juicy info on them? And not just
the stuff that I got well just a little while ago,

(52:16):
I got some really really juicy stuff on them. And
when I get to Connecticut Newtown, you guys are gonna
get a visit from me. Just letting you know. We're
gonna have boots on the ground in Newtown. We're gonna
have cameras rolling, and we are going to get to
the bottom of this obvious racial, sexist, bigoted nonsense that's

(52:39):
happening in Newtown. And we understand that people won't act
because they're afraid. And I get why they're afraid.

Speaker 23 (52:47):
I know, I know.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
The sister girls out there got you shook. You know
what I'm saying, them sister girls got there. They're probably
flicking their weaves, you know, talking mad, you know, Matt
Mac with their kool Aid lipstick. Whatever it is that
those sister girls are doing. We got you covered. We're
coming to the rescue, new Town. We're coming to the rescue.

(53:09):
Don't worry about it. You understand that it's rees on
the radio defending the sulk of the earth, the Connecticut
white woman. You don't have to be afraid no more.
I understand them. Sister girls, got y'all shook. I understand you. Guys.

(53:32):
Don't adhere. They will send you ebony and essence magazines.
They will end up in your mailboxes, and you don't
want any of that, so you will kneel before zod.
I get it. I totally get it. But we don't worry.
We're coming to the rescue. We're gonna do things in
there to set the record straight and let people know
that bullying will never be tolerated in any way. No

(53:57):
one is going to get cursed out and throw nobody's
going to threaten anybody's children because that's a no no.
Threatening people's children is a no no. And I understand
these people. And it shows you exactly how sick and
twisted people are when they will threaten people's kids, and

(54:22):
when people get that dangerous, something must be done. I
know that there are law enforcement officials out there who
probably know that this is happening, and I'm not going
to disparage them. I have with a lot of respect
for our police. You guys run towards danger while other
people are running from it. Okay, But if there is

(54:47):
bullying happening. If people are being you know, like socially
and extorted or intimidated, that cannot fly. You can do
two things at once. You can protect the citizens and
maintain a sense of order and integrity while making sure

(55:09):
that no one is made to be harassed or intimidated.
Just something you could do. Nobody should live under that,
and they should be able to go to the powers
that be when they are sort of got this boot
on their neck, as it were, to be able to
come to those in authority and say, hey, enough of this,
let's put an end to it. But if you guys

(55:31):
aren't gonna step up, will help? We will help.

Speaker 16 (55:36):
Now.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
I know you guys who are officials, I know you
didn't ask for this. I know that you did not ask,
but the citizens did. And if they can't rely on you,
they're just gonna have to rely on us. They have
to go outside of that. And you know when we
hear that call, when those people say, hey, Reese, do

(55:56):
you think you can help us? And I start looking
at the stuff finding out what's going on, and I
start reading the text messages, some very very alarming stuff
I'm reading by these individuals. Somebody's got to step up. Okay,
So ladies, just so you know, give it some time.

(56:16):
Recenter radios on the way, and we're bringing Mark and

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Oh as I said?

Speaker 7 (56:38):

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Or do you think that every Connecticut Democrat? Did you
think of every Connecticut Democrat when you watch the Katie
Porter video. We're gonna play that audio for you when
we get back. It is alarming what that woman like,
the stuff that's coming out about her. But this particular
video is so indicative of Connecticut politics. We'll play that

(56:59):
when we return. Stand By, it's Resa on a radio
on news Talk ten ad W T I C.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
I don't want to say anything, but it's our birthday.
I'm sure you knew that already, and I'm sure you've
got a wonderful present one hundred years by the way, Yeah,
we need to.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Work on that. Let me go to your phones real
quick before I go to this Katie Porter thing. Rob
you're back again, Please tell me why?

Speaker 6 (57:18):
Oh yes, yes, Ree, I just want to give you
some advice.

Speaker 17 (57:22):
If you don't I do.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Stop, I do. I mind entirely, I mind entirely. I'm
going to stop, Rob. I'm gonna stop you. I mind entirely.
You said, I'm gonna give you some advice. If you
don't mind, I mind stop, let me let me try.
Let me try this, Let me try this. I'm not
gonna shout. I'm not gonna shout over you.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Let me try this.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Okay. You just got to show me. Okay, all right,
and we're just gonna do it this way. Okay, this
show isn't for you anymore.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
It just isn't.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
And I understand you're trying to be the most popular
person to call in radio shows, but don't use don't
use my show for your own personal accolades. Go get
a show. So I'm gonna ask you to be honest
with you. Please stop interrupting the flow of my program
and have a nice day, Okay, And you can complain
that everybody you want to contact. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
If you lose your career over new Town.

Speaker 21 (58:13):
I don't know what the situation is out there.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
To be honest, okay, it's none of your business. And
if you don't care, that's fine. But I think I'm
making this abundantly clear. I'm making it abundantly clear Rob
that this show isn't for you anymore. All Right, you
have a wonderful life. Thank you, say goodbye, goodbye, thank you.

Speaker 17 (58:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
I've done I've done my very very best, and I'm trying.
And I know it's gonna come off as arrogant, as
many of my detractors often say, but should be told.
It is not about Rob, it is not about Tim.
It is not about these people who are trying to
get there. You know, fifteen minutes of fame, which is
far over my show. Isn't that anymore? Whatever it used

(58:57):
to be, those days are dead or they're dead, sorry,
they just are. Okay, And I'm done with the distractions,
just done. I just want to do my show. I
want to entertain, I want to enlighten, I want to inform.
That's all I want to do. Okay, and I've catered
enough and that ends today. Okay. Now we're just going
to do the show. So I appreciate you, okay, for

(59:19):
those of you who listen and those of you who
have written with me. So again, let's start over clean slate,
now boom. For those of you who know Katie Porter
and have followed this for a long time, you know
that this woman has been very bombastic, but you haven't

(59:40):
really seen her sort of express what you've heard in
the news as of late, and it's blown up because
she's running for governor of California, fourth largest, it's really
the fifth largest, fifth largest economy in the world. It's
got the largest populist but lose populous every day. And

(01:00:01):
she's going to be no different than Gavin Newsom when
he runs in twenty twenty eight. If she would have
ever become governor of California, nothing will be different. The
only difference between the two of them is they'll be
a skirt occasionally worn in a governor's mansion. That's about it.
But their policies will be the same and they will
be just and as inept. But if there is one

(01:00:24):
thing that you can know about Katie and you can
all identify with, it is what politicians are like when
they are forced made to answer to the people and
to the press, which is why you never see these
folks do the true one on one. It is always
done in polite company. It is always done with their

(01:00:48):
friends and brethren in the news media. Why they never
will face the true challenge of answering questions that they're
not comfortable with because they are not politics. They are actors.
They think that they are in Hollywood. They think that
every place that they go should be a puff interview,

(01:01:08):
tapping them on the back or the backside, telling them
how fantastic they are, and the person interviewing them is
so grateful that you would ever adorn us with your presence.
So I'm not jealous of the people who get access.
I know who they are, and I just want to know,

(01:01:29):
if I may, what flavor chapstick do you put on
as you kiss these folks' asses. That's all I want
to know. I want to know the real questions. So
that being said, what did Katie Porter do? For those
of you who don't know here it is, what do.

Speaker 26 (01:01:48):
You say to the forty percent of California voters we
you'll need in order to win who voted for Trump?

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
How would I need them in order to Well, unless.

Speaker 26 (01:01:57):
You think you're gonna get sixty percent of the vote,
you think you'll get sixty with all, everybody who did
not vote for Trump will vote for you.

Speaker 20 (01:02:04):
That's in a general election. Yes, if it is me
versus a Republican, I think that I will win the
people who did not vote for Trump.

Speaker 25 (01:02:12):
What if it's you versus another Democrat?

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Now that's an interesting part, right. She says that people
who voted for Donald Trump clearly won't vote for her,
but all of the Democrats. Now, again, that shows you
exactly how out of step she is. She says, if
she's running against a Republican, she's got every Democrat lot, like,
there's no way that a Democrat. Remember, under Gavin Newsom,

(01:02:34):
with everything that he's been able to destroy in California,
she's still certain that she's got it locked up. Like,
what do you not understand? Woman? Are you kidding me?
It's Donald Trump and it's me, Katie. Everybody loves me. Yes,
I know that I threw some hot potatoes on my
ex husband that scolded him on his head. Yes, but

(01:02:55):
nobody cares about that stuff. Yes, I know I cursed
out my staff for live during a conversation on a
Zoom conversation with Jennifer Grant home at the Department of Energy,
But nobody cares about that. I've berated people and I've
made racial comments to staff members and other people. But
then it's California. It's one party rule. Baby, I'm a Democrat.

(01:03:19):
They're gonna vote for me anyway, because what else would
they do?

Speaker 26 (01:03:23):
Not vote for what evinc you versus another Democrat.

Speaker 20 (01:03:25):
I don't intend that to be the case.

Speaker 26 (01:03:28):
So how do you not intend that to be the case?
Do you are you gonna ask them not to run?

Speaker 20 (01:03:32):
You know, I'm saying I'm gonna build the support. I
have the support already in terms of name recognition, and
so I'm gonna do the very best I can to
make sure that we get through this primary in a
really strong position.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Below Now, she believes again, while she's given this answer,
there should be no follow ups, even though the reporters like,
what you're talking about is absolute nonsense. It's clairvoyance without
true vision. There's no way you could be that's certain.
How do you think this is going to happen? That's
why she's skins follow ups.

Speaker 20 (01:04:01):
Let me be clear with you. I represented Orange County.
I represented a purple area. I have stood on my
own two feet and one Republican votes before. That's not
something every candidate and this race can say if you're
from a deep blue area, if you're from LA or
you're from Oakland, you don't have an experience.

Speaker 26 (01:04:16):
Is that you don't need those Trump voters?

Speaker 20 (01:04:18):
So you asked me if I needed them to win?

Speaker 8 (01:04:20):
You don't.

Speaker 20 (01:04:21):
I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative.

Speaker 8 (01:04:23):
What is your question?

Speaker 26 (01:04:25):
The question is the same thing I asked everybody that
this is being called the empowering voters to stop Trump's
power grab.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Every other candidate has answered this question.

Speaker 20 (01:04:34):
This is not and I said I support it.

Speaker 26 (01:04:36):
So and the question is what do you say to
the forty percent of voters.

Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
Who voted for Trump?

Speaker 20 (01:04:42):
Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you
need them to win? Part that I don't understand. I'm
happy to answer the question aswer The question is you
haven't written, and I'll answer.

Speaker 26 (01:04:48):
And we've also asked the other candidates do you think
you need any of those forty percent of California voters
to win?

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
And you're saying no, you don't.

Speaker 20 (01:04:55):
No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every
vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is that, yeah,
well to those voters, Okay, so you I don't want
to keep doing this, I'm gonna call it.

Speaker 18 (01:05:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
She understood right in that moment, not that she had
stepped in it, that she wasn't making any sense. And
that's the reason why she called it, because she knew, yeah,
this interview is gonna make me look bad. So she
wanted to call it. She wanted to tank it, but
she was already into deep and the cameras are rolling.

(01:05:26):
She was the one being combative the journalist, and I
don't even know that woman is never ever escalated. She
kept her cool. I mean, this consummate professional here did
not lose her cool even when she said that's it,
I'm gonna call it. She's throwing a tantrum. Listen to
the reporter. You're not gonna do the interview with them.

Speaker 20 (01:05:49):
Nope, not like this. I'm not not with seven follow
ups to every single.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Question you ask.

Speaker 26 (01:05:53):
Every other candidate has a I don't care.

Speaker 20 (01:05:55):
I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive
conversation which you asked me about every issue on this list.
And if every question you're going to make up a
follow up question, then we're never going to get there,
and we're just gonna circle around there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
So again, follow up questions can't be asked to comport her.
This is all sounding familiar to you. This is the
reason why these folks never sit down and answer any
tough question or answer any tough questions with any tough
journalists at all. When have you seen it? Have you
looked around with Just find it? Just find it? And

(01:06:30):
I text these people all the time. By the way,
John Larson, Charlie, Charlie, your guy who sent down the
press release that John Larson wanted to talk about the
government shutdown? I texted you, what happened? Why John Larson
not available? All of a sudden? I haven't heard back.
I text you personally on your phone, called you even

(01:06:50):
what happened? I thought you guys wanted to talk about
the government shutdown? Oh do you find out that I
was a black conservative? And you say, John may not
be able to handle that, and there therein lies the problem.
He can't hire me. Now, I would go so far,
like you know, if this was you know, me in
the backyard, you know and how this cleans, I would
just call you a sucker. You're too scared. You guys

(01:07:16):
are a bunch of whips. You can't even come unto it.
A conservative talk show. You got everything in the world
to say about the Shumer shutdown, How it's not your fault,
how was the Republicans well good? If you're so certain
of yourself, why don't you come on a conservative talk
show to answer why not? Why not answer the tough questions? Well,

(01:07:37):
because you're not gonna come here in blov eight, because
you're not gonna be able to come over here and
just keep rambling on a bunch of nonsense. Is that
the reason why I don't understand it. You sent out
a press release. The weird part is is that I
noticed it didn't come here, It didn't come to wti C.

(01:07:58):
Who else did you not send it to or did
you just text it to your friends and family? Is
that who you sent it to? Because we haven't heard
from John Larson And it's not like we haven't called
several times. We have, but we got nothing, And I
find it odd. It's just weird government shutdown. I'm sure

(01:08:19):
you care about conservatives who are going to be suffering
in the shutdown. Some of those folks might be impacted
by the government shutdown. Don't you want to reach those
people or do you only want to talk to folks
who no one's listening to. That's all I'm saying. Anyway,

(01:08:41):
we'll come back, more news, more views, and your phone
calls when we return. It's Reached on the radio on
WT I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
It's Reese on the radio on News Talk ten eighty
WT I see see we're back.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
We got traffic and weather coming up shortly, and we
don't have anybody off today, right, we got we got
all the right, all the regular people on how don't
even get my alerts anymore. I gotta look up who's
in when I just absolutely spitballing on who's Anyway, Let's

(01:09:17):
get to I'll take one more. Let's go Stephen south
Windsor Hello, Stevie, Hello, Hello, he.

Speaker 7 (01:09:23):
Said, caught you. Finally, I have Jenn Larson walks by
my house when he's not on Capitol Hill. Yeah, I'm
asking your permission. Maybe I'm gonna put a little sign
towards the street because he looks toward my house.

Speaker 17 (01:09:37):
Okay, and say give Reese a call.

Speaker 7 (01:09:41):
John.

Speaker 17 (01:09:42):
Yeah, I get in a beef with.

Speaker 7 (01:09:44):
Him because you know, he's sort of my neighbor down
the road.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
You know what if he does drive by you should
put us on.

Speaker 7 (01:09:50):
This sa Like, you know, he does a power walk
when he's not on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 17 (01:09:55):
Really he's on.

Speaker 15 (01:09:57):
The phone and he's caught.

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
He does a power walk every day by my house,
three times in a day when he's not out there
and watching it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Well, look, there are a couple of issues that he
has injected himself into. He's holding town halls on the
government shutdown, and of course he's one of the people
who claims he visited the owner of the car wash
that illegally hired the illegals to work there, saying that
he visited them. And he seems to be very very
strong willed about ICE and their involvement in the arrest

(01:10:28):
of seven people there. So we'd like to talk to
him about it, but we want to you know, we
want him to go in a less as he would
put it, less friendly place. I want to hear. I
want him to at least hear from some other people
who think differently than he does, and he seems to
from what he the conversation he had with Mark Walsh,
he said that you know, look, that's what makes America great,

(01:10:49):
that we have difference of opinions. So good if we
do come on on the show. I you have my permission,
say John Paul Reese on the radio.

Speaker 15 (01:10:58):
I know he looks over towards me.

Speaker 7 (01:11:00):
How it saves to me. I don't want to get
in a beef with him because it's being a neighbor.

Speaker 6 (01:11:04):
But I will put out there.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
Please talk to Reese and he'll know what that means. Okay,
he will thank you man, love you. Look, thank you,
love you too. Hey. Anything will work, Anything will work
as long as you know. All I want to do
is have a conversation. I want to know what all
of the screaming and the rabble rousing is. Look, if

(01:11:29):
you don't believe me, go back and listen to my
conversation with Josh Elliott. What did he admit when he
was put to task when he said that Trump has
supporters who are trying to take away basic freedoms? And
I asked him, are you saying that we want our
own freedoms to be taken away from us? Are you say?

(01:11:51):
What did he do? What happens when he was challenging
He knows it isn't true, he knows it's rhetoric. And
when you push back on that, what did he do?
It's like what it's just a different opinion. Can it
just be a difference of opinion? Does it really mean
that what we want to do is take away not
just you know, you think we're taking away your freedoms,
You think that our freedoms are not in jeopardy as well.
Of course they know that. So when you actually come

(01:12:13):
to when they have to deal with the rhetoric that
they spill, what happens, Well, I didn't really really mean that,
Then why are you saying it? Because if the truth
is is that the folks that you are trying to
I don't know, engender or find some sort of alliance with,
if you're doing it to rile them up, that means

(01:12:34):
you're lying. And that's far worse than the fact that
you're defaming us. You're lying to the people who are
going to support you, and that doesn't make for a
good politician and it definitely doesn't make for good voting.
So that's the only point I'm trying to make here.
Push back on those folks. That's why they don't show

(01:12:56):
up where you know they you know, places like this
and others, because they can't defend where they stand.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
It's race on the radio, on newst I see, I see.

Speaker 7 (01:13:09):
We are back.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
I'll hold off on the calls, you know what, because
if I wait until after it me going in another direction. Okay,
let's take the calls first. Let's go to Sam and
windsor Hello.

Speaker 23 (01:13:23):
Samy, Hey, Ree, Sorry, I'm going in a little bit
of a different direction. I want to just keep you
guys up to date on the whole Shawn Radio as
long as on all the things say he was given
eighteen months ar, which is accelery real rotation. It's a
form of probation. Okay, so it's a Steven right direction,

(01:13:44):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Okay.

Speaker 23 (01:13:46):
The other thing I wanted to put in your ear
is there's a mayor from New Britain who's running for
Republican governor, Aaron Stewart. Yeah, who, I really think you
should try to get on.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
I think that I've tried. I have her, I have
her contact, Rachel's information. I've reached out to them.

Speaker 23 (01:14:07):
She's uh, she's doing a hell of a job with Britain.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
I you know, I feel like she don't say that,
don't say that. Mark's gonna call. He's gonna scream at me.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm kenny. I'm kidding, I'm kiddy. No, no, look,
some people do like her, some people are are fascinated
with her. I get it. But yeah, I would love
to have her on. I'll reach out to Rachel again. Again.
I don't I don't think that they you know, nobody's
any any particular rush.

Speaker 5 (01:14:31):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
They they feel like they're you know, they're just gonna
skirt by or all that other stuff. If they don't
think that I'm necessary to be on their show, I
send out a feeler and else, you know, if they
say yes, they come on. If they don't have no harm,
no foul, that's all. I've got nothing against her.

Speaker 23 (01:14:45):
So uh one last thing, I don't want to give
you an advice ever, So I have a great.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
I take advice. It was that's a it's a perfectly
for that particular individual. It's just kind of there's been
some disrespect in the past, and I've been and and
no matter what, at the end of the day, I've
always been the nice guy. And the disrespect, you know, continues,
and I'm done with it because after a while, you

(01:15:13):
can get it. You can only you can only come
after me. So many times after a while and just go,
you know what, enough is enough since obviously my kindness
is now being taken his weakness. And I have to
be a bulldog. I have to have to be an
animal now. So that's the way I look at it.
Thank you man, you got it. Man. Uh, let's take
Bobin speak of Robin, New Britain. I apologize, Hey, Rob, sir.

Speaker 7 (01:15:38):
Let me tell you guys. I love you guys so much.

Speaker 8 (01:15:41):
Uh.

Speaker 23 (01:15:41):
And I love rolling balls. I don't know if he's
ever been ducked in bawling too.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
You know what I hold on? I gotta stop you.
I have never ever heard of that. Until I got
to Manchester, New Hampshire. I didn't even know that thing exists.
I still I keep forgetting that every chance I get.
I have to find a place that has that duck
bowling thing. I gotta do it.

Speaker 6 (01:16:06):
You got it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:06):
It's awesome.

Speaker 17 (01:16:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:16:08):
And I was on my high school bowling team too.
I had a chrome yellow bowling ball. This way, I
could never lose it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Chrome yellow. I don't think i've ever now have to
look up that color.

Speaker 7 (01:16:20):
Then later in life, I had my pickup truck painted
that color.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
Someone may have a favorite color, yes, and I was.

Speaker 7 (01:16:29):
Gonna say from earlier my two artists would be Stephen
Ray Vaughan.

Speaker 27 (01:16:35):
Okay, and Tina Turner.

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
Those are two of my favorites.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
I think you can get Tina Turners a little tough
to get four hours out of, so you may have
to keep a couple of songs we have to repeat.

Speaker 7 (01:16:47):
Yeah. Yeah. And as far as uh not getting these
people on your show, yeah, Murphy Rye did have a radio.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
Now, you know what, it's going to be one of
those places where when Reeseuner Radio gets to Connecticut and
we start making a whole lot of noise, not that
we haven't made any noise, but we start making real,
real big noise, then it'll be then it'll be a
who's that Reese guy? Trust me?

Speaker 7 (01:17:16):
So and Rosanna I'll join her Conservative week.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
You got it, absolutely, that's what.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
Very much.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
Thank you man, you got it. Okay, it's time. I
just really looked at the time, So let me get
to it. You know what time it is most since Thursday?

(01:17:46):
That's right in this edition of Negro Nonsense. This one
actually is kind of personal to me because a couple
of weeks ago I talked about a document a documentary
that was directed by Chad Jackson, and he's already released
the first installment of the MLK Project, which you have
to purchase to buy. So of course I purchased it

(01:18:08):
and I watched the first episode. It's about twenty six
minutes long. And he's been putting out these snippets for
a little while. And after I talked about it and
about the legacy of doctor Martin Luther King Junior and
his Marxist ties, Mattio from Bristol, my good friend. He said, look,
I understand where you're coming from, but for the sake

(01:18:31):
of Dr Martin Luther King Junior and his legacy, I
don't think that you should touch it. And I understood
exactly where he was coming from, because it is a
third rail, especially as it relates to race relations and
Black history. But this is one of those things where
I'm not doing it for the sake of stepping on

(01:18:52):
a third rail. I'm not doing this for the sake
of getting the African American community of said or starting protests.
The only thing I seek is truth. That's more important
than anything. And sometimes truth has to be controversial, even
though it shouldn't be. It just has to be because

(01:19:14):
when I'll put it this way. Before I played the clip,
before I started listening to Chado Johnson and other people
who had talked about this, I was of the ilk
that really believed the nonsense. I considered doctor Martin Luther
King Junior as one of my heroes. I made that

(01:19:37):
very clear in the beginning of my career, and unfortunately
I've had the wool pulled over my eyes and now
I'm free.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
So I'd like to play this for Matteo. And the
reason why I'm playing is I want you to hear
what he says at the end, Chadow Jackson, and what
Chaddo Jackson says at the end, Matt is for you
because it speaks to a lot of people who do
not want to talk about this truth about doctor Martin

(01:20:06):
Luther King Junior.

Speaker 18 (01:20:08):
My generation was robbed of something because of the Civil
rights movement. If you listen to what he's saying, you
realize truly the embittering effect of it. In other words,
he's saying things like the negro will never be free
until justice rolls down like waters. Whenever he says that,
he's not talking about biblical justice, he's talking about social justice,
which is rooting in Marxism. The only way that the
Negro will get ahead in America is through radical wealth redistribution.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
Economic power the negro is to gain the economic security
that you need. One of the answers, it seems to me,
is a guaranteed the annual income.

Speaker 18 (01:20:44):
We need a universal income for all negroes and poor people.
He said this, he's literally touting Marxist rhetoric. He's talking
about jobs, and he's talking about housing, and he's instilling
into Blacks's mindset that my having a job and my
having a house depends on legislation and what the government does.
What's happening is this kind of transition of thought and

(01:21:06):
mindset in the nineteen sixties. And so this is a
complete detachment from where Blacks were in terms of casting
down your bucket where you are. And so it was
a rhetoric of King and his contingent that really instilled
in Blacks this idea of letting your hand off the
proverbial plow, picking up your picket sign and using that
as a means of success.

Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
Now he's not lying here, folks, You've seen it. That
has been the mantra of the new civil rights movement.
From Black Lives Matter to Al Sharpton to Jesse Jackson.
Nothing to do with what is. It's everything to do
with government and industry giving, not people applying.

Speaker 18 (01:21:50):
Themselves, marrying yourself and your fate and your dignity to
the government as opposed to the limbs that God gave
you and the mind that God gave you to me
make your way in this world. Seventy plus percent of
Black children are growing up in single mother households. The
crime is out of control. As you said earlier about
what the MLKA boulevards look like today, Black culture today

(01:22:12):
is considered the laughing stock. Most people want to admit it,
but a lot of people feel it. It's considered the
laughing stock of the world. It's a gimmick culture. It's
an unseerious, frivolous culture, is what it is. It hasn't
always been that way. We were robbed that dignity that
our ancestors had. It wasn't black pride. It was just
genuine decency that whites had, that blacks had that other
ethnic groups had, especially as they rooted themselves and the

(01:22:35):
Christian ethic. And so it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
Now here's the part that's to you, Matt, Listen closely.
Shadow Jackson is speaking directly to you and those like
you who are concerned about exposing this truth.

Speaker 18 (01:22:51):
Never I say these things, and I deliver the evidence,
and I show their receipts. Most Black people have the
ear to hear, They listen, they considered, and most people
are thankful, grateful for the information. However, there are some
who aren't. And what's interesting to me is the white
people who aren't. What they'll say is all these things
that you're saying, even if they are true, King still
did a lot of good things. He helped bring the

(01:23:12):
racists together. He's a good man. It's easy for you
to say he did a lot of good things because
it makes you feel good about something and it absolves
you of something. You have nothing to be absolved of.
You only are responsible for the life that you live.
But you can't go on elevating this kind of symbol
and not acknowledge all of the ashes that are left
in its wake.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
And that's the most important part of this.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
Is that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
There were consequences to this. And as I'm learning more
and I'm reading more about this, I'm going, holy crap,
Like I really fell for the proverbial tale in't banana
the tail pipeine because again it was. It's a romanticized

(01:23:57):
depiction or story ofty that you're not supposed to question.
And if you do question it, you're beaten down. You're
called all types of names, and if you are weak,
weak need, you will say, Look, I don't I just
don't want that kind of heat, I don't want that
kind of smoke. Well, folks, you know me. I don't care.

(01:24:21):
I just don't. What I mean by that is I
don't care about that. I care about the truth, and
that supersedes all of the screaming and the hollering and
being mad to see. What I care about is the truth.
And it's not so much about the truth setting you free,
because it does, but it isn't about that. It's not
about the gimmick of the truth. It isn't about that.

(01:24:44):
It's because I believe that having that knowledge is power,
and I think it makes us all powerful. Now I
see it, now that I understand it, I know that
the mission that I've been on in my entire life,
the way in which I've been doing things, the way
that my gain father taught me, and recognizing that a
man who lived in a time where we're supposed to

(01:25:07):
believe he should have been lynched for starting his own business,
for serving his community, for living his life, for buying
a house, for moving into a community, those things we're
supposed to believe he wasn't allowed to do, but he
did them anyway. Why why would he do that in
a world that, again was one hundred percent against him,
with redlining and racist tropes, just everything it is you heard.

(01:25:30):
But my grandfather bought a home and we lived in
it for over forty years. Forty years. He continued to
pay his mortgage on until we owned it outright. He
owned his own business, a hardware store, a damn big
hardware store, owned it. How did he do that? If

(01:25:53):
those times were far more restless as far as race
relations were concerned, How did he do that? And for
me to look at my life and go, what do
I owe him? Complaining? I owe him saying that the
rest of the world has been treating me like I'm garbage,
That's what I owe him. I owe him more than that.

(01:26:18):
He achieved it in a time. But I mean, he
achieved that stuff in a time where, according to folklore,
he wasn't supposed to I would cheapen his legacy by
behaving like the rest of these bozos. I would. I
would be cheaping his legacy, cheapening his legacy, cheapening my
family name. If I were to turn around and go, yeah,

(01:26:42):
it's harder today, God forbid if I ever said that.
And to be honest with you, I'm sick and tired
of people telling me that, people of my so called
the own race telling me that, as well telling me
what I'm supposed to be afraid of telling me. Now,
I'm supposed to look over my shoulder every day. I
ain't selling drugs, I'm not doing anything nefarious. I'm not

(01:27:05):
hurting anybody. I'm doing my job. I refuse to live
like that, and I'm not gonna have anybody tell me
how I'm supposed to live. I'm not gonna tell any
have anybody tell me to because of my skin color.
I'm supposed to move a certain way, or act a
certain way, or the hell talk a.

Speaker 18 (01:27:19):
Certain way.

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
In order for me to get being at good graces.
I'm done. So that's why we do what we do here.
And for the rest of you, stop feeling guilty about
something you're not responsible for.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
You don't owe me, You don't owe anybody nothing. You
owe your families, the people you take care of, You owe,
your job, your careers, those people you owe, the people
who give something, enrich your lives. That's yo. Get them,
get that out of that of the nonsense. And I'm
telling you my dying breath, I'll be saying the same thing,
and I'll be telling you continue that message. Go on

(01:27:56):
and live your life. Go on and do what it
is that you need to do. Don't let these other
fooligans ever make you feel guilty about you just trying
to survive and make a good life for you and
your family. Don't ever do it. You'll know how I
feel about that. Anyway. Laurie says that I heard two
of his videos. Spot on both of them. Yeah, they're

(01:28:18):
they're they're in fascinating pieces, fascinating pieces. And if you
watch the first, by the way I employ you go
look it up the MLK Project. The first episode's out.
It's only twenty six minutes long. I think the purchase
is like three bucks or something. If you watch, it's
twenty six minutes long. Chado Jackson does not do he like,
He doesn't start it with MLK. He starts at the

(01:28:42):
Bible he talks about. I mean, he starts at Nimrod.
And you know, I always laugh because I said it
was my mom's favorite insult for people. She was like,
what are you doing you Nimrod? And I thought that
was a made up word. Little that I know.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
Stay locked in, Locked race on the rate is on
w T I see news.

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
Does anybody know whether or not Barry Weiss's officially began
begun her job as editor in chief at CBS News.
I wonder I haven't really looked that up. I'm gonna
check it out in a second to see if there
have been any changes. No one's really talked about it
as of yet. Everybody still talked about the Katie Porter thing.

(01:29:27):
I don't think that story has got any more legs
after this, other than the fact you may drop out.
But I don't think there's anything more to it than that.
Uh Anyway, go to res onerradio dot com. That's our
E E S E on the radio dot com. Now
why why do I say go to rest radio dot com? One?
It's important to me that you go because I know

(01:29:47):
that you're going there, and you know you're checking out
the show or that you're checking out the substack, or
you're looking at pictures or uh, you know, doing whatever,
you're sending me a message, whatever the thing. You know
what my be going on. But it lets me know.
I get all the you know, the analytics on that stuff,
and it lets me know that you know the website's
there and you guys actually care. Also, you know you

(01:30:08):
can go to between rounds. You can fill out the
application there so that you can get a chance to
win a dozen bagels a month for six months. But
join me there specifically for the substack and of course
for the podcast. The substack thing. Let me explain that
I write an article every week on Sunday. It usually posts,
I want to say, between seven am and eight am.

(01:30:32):
I usually try to keep it right at seven, but
if I'm late, it's usually after eight. But I posted
there every Sunday. You can also find that out in
the Connecticut Sentinels page afterwards, but if you want to,
you can subscribe to it and go right to your email.
I try to make it pithy. I try to make
it at least a thousand words and you know it's
a good read, and I try to use some of

(01:30:53):
my own logic to explain the subject of the day.
So you can check out a bunch of them that
I put in there, something you may not even be
interested in. I say my personal favorite one. If I
were to say my personal favorite piece, it's got to
be the piece about gosh now I'm forgetting the title.

(01:31:16):
Oh how the Left lost the working class. That's got
to be my favorite piece, because of course i'm you know,
I make mention of you know, the now no longer
with us, weather guy Jason Calerina. I don't even know
where he is. Is he said hello? Because he is
he called back to say, hey, guys, miss you guys
not at all right, No, okay, I'll reach out to him,

(01:31:39):
but uh. And of course Mark Christopher and Bob Cox
are the guys who work here, and I make mention
of them, and you know how they deliver the weather
and traffic to you guys all the time. But it's
sort of less a breakdown of how people who rely
on weather and traffic to get through their daily lives
and how the left sort of chided you for doing
those things, making life better for your kids, you know,

(01:32:01):
using gas powered vehicles, things like that. It's a good read.
If you haven't had a chance to check it out,
you gotta go to reseller radio dot com. Go to substack.
Scroll down you'll see the substack and subscribe so that
you can get the articles and you can go back
and check out the old ones that are there, so
they stay there in perpetuity until you know websites no more.
But if you'd like to go check it out, they're

(01:32:21):
all fun reads. I try to make them again pithy, interesting, funny,
so that you can enjoy them. All Right, and do that.
Let's get another check of weather and traffic with I
keep forgetting his name, and now I need to go
back up so I can read his name, John Faerys
with weather Mark Christopher's in the BPS traffics that ay Mark.

Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
The NAACP calls him. 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 eighty WT.

Speaker 3 (01:32:53):
I see everybody sit down, everybody sit down, chill for
a second. We have breaking news. New York Attorney General

(01:33:14):
Letitia James has been indicted on at least one count
of alleged fraud, becoming the second political figure in the
span of just three weeks to face prosecution after President
Donald Trump's public demand for the Police Justice Department to
move now and charge his enemies. ABC is reporting charge
his enemies. I don't care what they call the ladies, gentleman.

(01:33:38):
I'm just a blood. And again, this is small potatoes.
This is nothing. This ain't anything. I'm just telling you
this is I'm the only reason why I'm doing the
whole breaking news thing, the only reason why I'm doing
that because i just want the left to be nuts
about it. I'm just throwing that in it just for
good measure. But this ain't nothing. Latitia James's small potatoes.

(01:34:03):
I told you the people I want, I want the
good stuff. This right here. This is an advertiser.

Speaker 19 (01:34:09):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
This is like I don't know, an off year cavy arm.
That's barely that. It's barely that. It's like the good dip.
That's all it is. It's good dip. This isn't the
main course. This is like, you know, this is war,
divorce or I know how to say the word. There
ain't nothing. This ain't nothing, but the hell. If we're

Damn not even me come over from my wire. That's weird. Okay,
all right? Does that mean that he loses the.

Speaker 22 (01:36:25):
News that was a breaking news hit him big kiss
during trouble?

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
Yeah, exactly. All right, Well you know what I'm gonna
let me let me get some info on that now
and I'll address it. What else you got?

Speaker 22 (01:36:33):
I got a flessing for it. I got a plessing
for him. I mean yesterday, I know, guys much Hartford,
what I loved? I love an update on market Kate.
I'm I'm pretty much speech case.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
But you yes, what is that guy?

Speaker 22 (01:36:46):
What is that guy's plan for?

Speaker 18 (01:36:47):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Like, is you my Donnie?

Speaker 22 (01:36:49):
Like how do you keep rent down? Like during the pandemic?
I had two I had two or three family that
people weren't paying me for like a year. Yeah, but
I still up there set so like for those out
like in that and then people have to tell.

Speaker 3 (01:37:02):
It like it's exactly your one hundred percent right, And
that's what we're trying to get to the bottom of.
It's like, how do you not like you evict the people,
you don't do the repairs, and then you rent them again,
which again I understand that the rent is so cheap.
You know, you take what you can get, but this
can't be allowed. It just cannot be allowed. Full they

(01:37:25):
I gotta let you go, it's too loud. I'm sorry, buddy.
Let me go to Geo and Canton. How are you doing, Geo?

Speaker 17 (01:37:30):
I'm great.

Speaker 19 (01:37:31):
You know, you do a good thing when you come
with Negro nonsense, because it's a great hook I have.
I know I probably have limited time, but I wanted
to add so, because your grandfather had owned a business
which is really really great back in the day, does
that in the gate the opportunity that the rest of
the black community had back in the.

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
Day, Well, it's funny that you should mention that. So
I actually did this research and it is goes beyond
my grandfather. But I've talked about this, in fact to
a large degree, having done my research and looked at
the amount of opportunities for African Americans that they created
on their own. It was exorbitant. It was absolutely endless.

(01:38:14):
In fact, I talked about a little bit, you know,
chadel Ojackson made me look up this thing about Booker T.
Washington and the I guess it was like the Negro
it was like it was called like the Negro Business
Association or whatever it was. And he was talking about
how they had found footage in nineteen twenty five, just

(01:38:36):
three years after the Tulsa, Oklahoma riots, and he was
one of the first black men and a minister who
had a video camera, and he had videotaped a parade
taking place in nineteen twenty five in Tulsa in the
same area where it was. The one story they never
tell us about the Tulsa, Oklahoma riots is that Tulsa rebuild,

(01:39:00):
rebuild the whole town, most of it. And far better
than that is that the people stayed there and flourished
and opened up new businesses. The videotape that he is
referencing that he actually shows us shows them the kids
in the neighborhood from the Eagle Scouts, the boy Scouts,
all of those people walking through and parading through the street,

(01:39:21):
celebrating businesses because they were all right, you know, kind
of in a parade procession, so to speak. But the kids, Now,
this is the part that blew my mind was that
the boy Scouts who were also in the procession were
carrying American flags. Now, if we're to believe what Joe
Biden and many others have called it Tulsa, you know, Tulsa,

(01:39:43):
Oklahoma massacre, was that this was America who turned its
back on a black community, Black Wall Street, which would
beg the question in nineteen twenty five years later after
the riot, why were those kids still celebrating America, who
we're led to believe had abandoned them. That doesn't make
any sense. That would be like after the Gaza War,

(01:40:03):
that we just finally got a piece stuff. People in
Gaza walking around with Israeli flags. It would be it
would baffle your mind, wouldn't it?

Speaker 22 (01:40:11):
It would?

Speaker 13 (01:40:12):
But I guess, I guess the point that I was
trying to make was that your grandfather's success story was
like more of an individual rather than a collective.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
Actually your one hundred percent wrong? You one hundred percent wrong?

Speaker 23 (01:40:24):
Can I finish with my statistics really quickly?

Speaker 17 (01:40:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:40:27):
From there?

Speaker 13 (01:40:28):
So, like back in the sixties, nineteen sixty nine with
the US Census Bureau, only four percent of the small
businesses were minority owned, like around like three aboundred sixty thousands,
and from that four percent, only two percent were actually
black owned. Okay, and that's in comparison to like I
guess it was a eleven percent.

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
What was the population back in the day.

Speaker 13 (01:40:51):
That's a that's completely small compared.

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
You're gonna need the population number, Gil, You got to
give me a population number. Give me the population.

Speaker 23 (01:40:58):
I have a.

Speaker 19 (01:40:58):
Percentage of population, and I was just comparing it to
the population of.

Speaker 3 (01:41:04):
Well, we also have to do with well, let's try
this on the on the on the overwall. Population of
white folks today, which is well over two hundred and
fifteen to two hundred and twenty million, how many of
them own businesses?

Speaker 19 (01:41:19):
Oh, I would say a lot more than the black community.

Speaker 3 (01:41:23):
What of course, but remember we're talking about two hundred
and fifteen to two hundred and twenty million versus just
under fifty million, right, the numbers of percentage, And again,
if we're looking at that percentage the right way, right,
we are talking about what's one economic opportunity, what's also
a part of culture. Many people just start businesses up

(01:41:45):
out of nowhere, whether or not we're counting businesses. Like
I showed yesterday, people just putting a sign on their
pickup truck, running a small business one like my own,
you know, a moving company, where in essence I had
no brick and mortar. I had none until I actually
moved to Texas, and actually I had a brick and mortar,
but I didn't. I did not operate out of a
brick and mortar. I had a private business. But statistically,

(01:42:06):
if you're of a smaller population, you're gonna have a
smaller population of those people who start businesses because most
people work at companies as opposed to starting businesses. Now,
it isn't to say, but hold on, it isn't to
say that because there weren't a lot of African Americans
starting businesses that they weren't successful because of it.

Speaker 13 (01:42:27):
Yeah, I would largue opportunity wise with banks and stuff,
you know, with loans.

Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
What about bank? What about banks?

Speaker 18 (01:42:32):
Then?

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
Did they own banks in the nineteen fifties.

Speaker 23 (01:42:36):
I mean, with the GI bill, it was it was
possible for everyone to get them.

Speaker 21 (01:42:39):
But not right.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
Right. But I think what you're trying to conflate here
is the fact that because a lot of black people
didn't own businesses, and it doesn't you're saying, like, what
did you say the four. Did you say four percent?
Is that what you suggested?

Speaker 19 (01:42:53):
Ninety nine?

Speaker 3 (01:42:54):
Yeah, Now, four percent of all business ownership was African American.

Speaker 19 (01:43:00):
No, no, no, two percent of the four percent minority
owned businesses.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
Okay, two percent of okay, two percent of all minority
businesses were African American owned. Okay, Well, I would just
ask the question one, what was the population to? How many?
Does that actually round out?

Speaker 18 (01:43:14):
Two?

Speaker 3 (01:43:14):
Like actual business?

Speaker 19 (01:43:16):
I'll get the information.

Speaker 22 (01:43:17):
Can I have one more point before I go?

Speaker 15 (01:43:18):
And you have limited time?

Speaker 1 (01:43:19):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
No, no, you're good.

Speaker 13 (01:43:22):
I saw something crazy with even Miller on CNN, something
about planary plinary something. Could you explain that to me
by any chance?

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
I don't know exactly what it was, but are you
talking about the conversation he was having with the bald
head gentleman on CNN that he was having this contentious argument.

Speaker 19 (01:43:39):
With He kind of froze up after he has said
plinary action under like the US Code ten something.

Speaker 6 (01:43:46):
I have to look more into that.

Speaker 23 (01:43:47):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:43:48):
I have to as well, because I know exactly what
you're talking about, and I saved it on X but
I never got back to it.

Speaker 19 (01:43:54):
I just think it's a little crazy.

Speaker 13 (01:43:55):
How something like that if you said I was on TV.

Speaker 21 (01:43:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:43:59):
I know I wouldn't like my president to have unlimited
power unchecked under the US session go ten.

Speaker 3 (01:44:06):
But well, when you talk about a president having power unchecked,
do you have a problem with the president doing it
in a clandestine way?

Speaker 16 (01:44:18):
Clandestine?

Speaker 23 (01:44:19):
I'm not too sure.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Okay, all right, let's talk about conversations with social media
companies to go after private citizens. And I'm not talking
about big wigs like doctor Bodicharia. I'm talking about average
I'm sorry, situation. No, I'm talking about a personal account,
like let's say it's yours. If you decided to have
a conversation or to post. Let's say you have thousands

(01:44:43):
of viewers, and you make comments about the vaccine that
you find suspicious, or you make comments about COVID in general,
about how the government centered, and you find out that
in a clandestine way that the President of the United States,
through the FBI or even through his own lackeys or
contacting social media and telling them to eliminate, if not
closed down your account, would you consider.

Speaker 21 (01:45:03):
That, Yeah, that's wrong, that's wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
That during that time, Okay, so we know we know
it to be true. Right. How about how about having
the power to take a former president and remove him
from social media to the point where he has to
create his own social media company.

Speaker 19 (01:45:20):
Well, now we're making the comparison of social media and
the use.

Speaker 13 (01:45:23):
Of the military.

Speaker 3 (01:45:24):
No, no, well, well let's talk about the use of
the military. Did the President of the United States bomb
a US citizen and kill a sixteen year old son
without Congress's input?

Speaker 9 (01:45:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
But I did recently have a did the president did
a press jail? Did the president do that? Yes?

Speaker 26 (01:45:43):
Or no?

Speaker 19 (01:45:44):
The president doesn't do many things because the.

Speaker 3 (01:45:47):
Only did the president kill a US citizen abroad and
his sixteen year old son without the input of Congress
or do process?

Speaker 13 (01:45:59):
I wouldn't known he did.

Speaker 3 (01:46:01):
He did, he did, And the president is Barack Hussain Obama,
who went on it went to the New York Times,
and who went to the New York Times and said,
I quote, I'm really good at this killing stuff, and
nobody pat it an I have said, man.

Speaker 19 (01:46:20):
Saying that he could like saying something.

Speaker 3 (01:46:23):
See that's what See again, this is my point, geo.
What you're talking about is what Donald Trump said. And
as the constitutional write of free speech, you have a
problem with him saying something. Here, I am telling you
that somebody did something, they killed the US citizen without
you d process, and you compared it to a guy
saying stuff. No, no, no saying no no. Nobody died

(01:46:45):
when Donald Trump said stuff. Somebody died when Barack Obama
did stuff. And you are trying to conflain. I'm just
trying to give me, tell me where the comparison is,
because you seem to have selective outrage here.

Speaker 21 (01:47:00):
No, no, no, I agree with you.

Speaker 19 (01:47:01):
Previous presidents were doing the same thing.

Speaker 13 (01:47:03):
I would I would equally, I would condemn them equally.

Speaker 3 (01:47:05):
No, No, are you saying that they're the same thing.
Here's what I'm telling you, Here's what I'm trying to
get out of you. Are you suggesting that Donald Trump
saying something is the same thing as an act?

Speaker 13 (01:47:19):
Well, your previous context saying that if you have a
lot of followers, right, or you have a lot of influence,
your words.

Speaker 19 (01:47:29):
In fact do carry some action, especially if you're the president.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
So like with the President.

Speaker 19 (01:47:34):
Obama, Hussein Brock, whosain Obama doing those things?

Speaker 3 (01:47:38):
Yeah, we hold them accountable. Well again, I'm I'm going
I'm gonna differ with you on that opinion. But I
do have to take a break. But the only reason
I'm going to do for you on this opinion is
is that what you're suggesting is that because Donald Trump
has followers and says something that that is tantamount to
the evil of killing an American citizen abroad with the drone.
And I can't I that to me, that does not
acute compute. But I preciate. No, it's not what about

(01:48:01):
is It's not what about them? Geo. I gotta go
to a break. Let's get to the BPS Traffic Center
with Mark Chrystal. Sorry about that, Mark Man.

Speaker 17 (01:48:09):
Oh, no, problemaking very much.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
The Hour the bags out, Punch Punch, It's Reese on
the radio on w t I S News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
We not have really much Hollywood news. I'm just gonna
play the music anyway. It's Hollywood news. What's your Chrrosponic
It's on the radio. All the clicks and all the

(01:48:42):
clap it's Hollywood news.

Speaker 15 (01:48:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:48:47):
There are a couple of movies actually that are being
released today. Uh, they've got Netflix. By the way, I
don't know if anybody's really paying attention to this. Netflix
cancelation thing, but the story is already gone. H NFL
stars Sequon Barkley as a documentary that's come out on Amazon.
John Candy, I Like Me. The documentary is coming out today.

(01:49:10):
I love John Candy in the eighties. I loved him
in Planes, Trains and Automobile. That is such a great movie.
And I will admit that there are some points in
that movie that kind of made me cry. Just it's
in that line where he says I like me when
he's staring down Steve Martin, and Steve Martin is like

(01:49:32):
completely berating him because he's an uptight, you know, suburban
nite and John Candy is kind of over the top,
rambunctious kind of guy. But when John Candy gives that
monologue in the hotel room talking about I Like Me, Oh,
it's heart crushing. When he says that John Candy just
knew how to deliver that to Yeah, Uncle Buck just
knows how to deliver that. So I'm gonna watch that tonight.

(01:49:54):
Can't wait. It is and it says, according to the description,
a heartfelt look at the life and legacy of comedian
John can Andy, told through stories of friends and families
and collaborators, and yeah, he was a good guy and
good just a good guy. Uh as far as movies
were concerned, Uncle buck Is is a good movie too.

(01:50:15):
What was the other one, The Great Outdoors? I think
that's what that one was called with Dan Aykroyd. Yes,
those are pillows he had. You know, it's I've seen
a lot of movies with John Candy, now that I
think about it. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm gonna say something mean.

(01:50:37):
You know who always thought was the John Candy knockoff?
Louis Anderson. Louis Anderson was funny, but I was kind
of felt like Louis Anderson was getting John Candy scraps.
Let's get a checker whether or traffic? We got John
Ferrick with Weather and Mark Christopher in a BPS traffic center.
Did you like John Candy at all?

Speaker 23 (01:50:53):
Mark?

Speaker 25 (01:50:54):
You're not gonna believe this. Yeah, I've seen planes, trains
and hout a.

Speaker 17 (01:50:58):
Movie no I got.

Speaker 3 (01:51:00):
I've got to applaud you, and I've.

Speaker 17 (01:51:02):
Seen huncle Box many times.

Speaker 3 (01:51:04):
Now I will tell you this. Do you want to
know why I know Playing Strings and Automobiles? I think
I know you watched it because it is a Thanksgiving movie.
And it seems like a movie, you know, like it's
a wonderful life.

Speaker 17 (01:51:15):
Trying to get home, for trying to get home for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:51:17):
That's exactly why, and I think that's the reason why
a lot of people have seen it.

Speaker 17 (01:51:20):
It's just that movie Don Candy, the shower ring salesman.

Speaker 3 (01:51:25):
That's right.

Speaker 17 (01:51:25):
Remember that's what he sold, shower rings.

Speaker 3 (01:51:28):
Yeah, it was one of the movies that didn't involve kids.
Directed by John Hughes. Wow, yeah, John.

Speaker 25 (01:51:34):
My favorite scenes of that movie was when Steve Martin
was at the counter trying to get it.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Oh my god, that's the best. I love that movie.

Speaker 17 (01:51:47):
How can I help you, sir?

Speaker 27 (01:51:49):
Oh my god?

Speaker 17 (01:51:52):
So see, I actually saw.

Speaker 3 (01:51:55):
I gotta go back years. That's what else I gotta
keep you. In the eighties and seventies.

Speaker 17 (01:52:00):
I think that's when I had time to watch movies.

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
It's race on the radio, I see.

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
You know, interestingly enough, thinking about planes, trains and automobiles
and Mark Mark Christopher mentioned the Eadie McClure scene at
the car Rental place. I can't believe that line. You
can never ever play because it's just so many he
says the F word so many times, but it is hilarious.

(01:52:28):
It's the best. It's the best. Indian McClure is fantastic
in that scene. But another line in that movie that
is a small scene and a throwaway, still crushes me
every time I see it. And it's when there in
the back of that pickup truck and the air in

(01:52:48):
the snow and it is absolutely freezing. And I don't
know who delivers the line, but I know the line.
And he goes, what do you think the temperature is?
And he answered and respond But one best line in
that scene is the temperature one, because it's not even

(01:53:10):
a temperature. But I don't know why, but it makes
me lafe every time I think about it, and every
time I see it, and every time I play it
in front of someone, they go, you thought that was funny.
I'm like, that's hilarious. It's a great scene. I love
the numbers are funny, they can be. I always tell
people that the number twelve is very funny to me.
And that's from Benny Hill. For those of you who

(01:53:30):
do remember Benny Hill, you remember the scene is that
one part when he comes home. Benny Hill comes home
and he finds out his wife is having an affair
with a younger guy, and he's supposed to pretend like
nothing is going on, and he says to the younger
guy how many He asks him if he likes some
tea and he says yes, and he says how many
sugars would you like? And the guy goes twelve and

(01:53:54):
Benny listen to him, listens what how many sugars? He
was like? Twelve? Benny Hill then turns around, it takes
the tea and dumps it into the sugar bowl, which
is again hilarious. It's just it was just it's a
funny bit.

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:54:09):
Nonetheless, I'll do it all day and you'll be asking yourself,
what the hell is he talking about. I'm sorry, it's
just funny to me. So I said I was going
to talk about this earlier, and I need to. What
is Deep doing in Middletown. Well, if you haven't heard,
they promised this revolutionary trash program that's supposed to slash waste,

(01:54:32):
save money, and save the planet. And people always fall
for that because they don't just sell it to you
with those ideas. They always tell you that it's a
mustan it has to be done. So the people in
Middletown did it, and they did this program. It was
called the Save as You Throw program or SAYT. It's

(01:54:54):
also a pay as you throw, the Pay as you
Throw program, which was kicked off in nineteen. In twenty
twenty four, twenty twenty four, now here was the goal.
You get residents to buy special green or orange trash
bags and for food scraps, and then for food scraps
you separate them from regular garbage to boost composting and

(01:55:15):
to cut down on landfill waste. That's the objective. Connecticut's
trash plant, their big trash plant in Hartford, was shut down,
forcing towns to ship garbage out of state. This of
course would bring skyrocketing cost. That was the everybody knew.

(01:55:35):
The state's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection or indeed
through in grants to make this happen, partnering with Waste Zero,
a company that consults on these programs and sells the bags.
Middletown even tricked out their garbage trucks with AI cameras
to enforce it. This was to make sure that people

(01:55:56):
were actually doing what they were required to do. In
twenty twenty four presentation, City Public Works folks crowed that
the program was working. They claimed that eighty percent of
the folks were in compliance and that was from a
whopping and a whopping thirty two percent drop in trash

(01:56:16):
tonnage is what they told us. The plans were buzzing
to slash bag prices and lower fees for everyone. Because
of this win. Deep even bonded another ten million dollars
statewide for more pilot programs like this. But we found

(01:56:38):
out that that was false August twenty six of this year,
at a Sanitation Proposal Disposal District Commission meeting, the truth
came out. Actual rate a waste reduction was not thirty percent,
it was eight percent. And then the October this year

(01:57:01):
they found out that there was no free ride and
they were staring down a thirty percent hike in residential
and commercial fees just to cover the hauler costs that
kept climbing. They said the red flags were waving long before.
In fact, they saw it as early as February and April.

(01:57:22):
They said that truck cameras for spotting non compliers they
were glitchy and useless, and as for the waste zero bags,
they became pricey and hard to find. Some say low quality.
Even residents griped about the fines for tossing scraps in
wrong of bags. City service areas had to play ball,

(01:57:46):
but private hauler zones and opt out city plans did
not take effect. One resident at the April meeting called
the potential flop a disgrace for the city. Another one
blasted saying that Way zero may have profited at the
expense of the city and its residents. The Deputy public

(01:58:06):
Works Director, Bobby Peterson admitted Wayzerol's contrasts expensive and lacks
expected benefits. Maybe time for a new vendor, a new vendor,
not just stop the program. They decided to do more.
Middletown one of the fifteen Connecticut towns that were made
to do this pay as you throw grants or programs.

(01:58:29):
Only six people ran with it, or six towns ran
with it, and just Middletown went full curbside with penalties.
Others like Guilford and Madison stuck to drop off spots.
Towns like Greenwich and West Hartford they ditched it over
the backlash, and Sonia's pilot tanked, blaming social media misinformation.

(01:58:51):
Even Connecticut's big municipal groups back the pay as you
throw model, but deep still calling these successful for diverting waste,
and according to the math, it isn't gaining any ground.
The trash program was not a good idea from the start,
and now people are recognizing it. That's where the problem is.

(01:59:13):
It was never a good idea. But then again, they
never means tested it, and they jumped into early by
saying that it was successful. It wasn't it is it?
And when you look, this is gonna sound horrible, But
let me say this trash is not supposed to be
this complicated. It isn't. It's trash. I don't mind so

(01:59:40):
much about doing the glass stuff. For the recyclable stuff,
I don't mind. But we know that that's not happening either.
There is no recycling program. Your milk cartons are not
coming back to you. They're in Korea and Vietnam, floating someplace,
or just being burned in some third world country. We

(02:00:03):
know that as a fact right now. That's no longer
a joke. It's not even a mystery. It is a fact.
No one is recycling. They don't have the means to recycle.
And all these companies that say that they recycle your plastics.

Speaker 19 (02:00:16):
They're not doing it.

Speaker 3 (02:00:18):
When they try to, the stuff gets stuck. They have
to shut down the machines and then they have to
go in physically and pluck the plastic off of the
of the machinery. It is long, it is arduous, and
it costs way too much money, and that cost always
goes back to you. There's no point in doing it anymore. Look, folks,
I gotta be honest. You gotta just you gotta just

(02:00:42):
throw your trash away and we have to start producing
the evidence that all of this is a lie.

Speaker 7 (02:00:52):
We just have to.

Speaker 3 (02:00:55):
We have to start tracking where this trash is going.
When you do your recyclables, we need to get down
to where the recyclable areas and find out where they're doing,
and then find out where that trash is going. Where
that recyclable stuff is going. Find out where it's going.
Not that we need to put a tracking device on it,
but they need to be transparent about it. Where is
our plastics, where are our bottles going? Are they going
to recycling plants? How much of it's going to recycling plants?

(02:01:18):
Is it five percent, ten percent, two percent? What are
you doing with the rest of it? Is it going
to other cities so they can recycle it. Where's it
going and make them respond to that because again, truth
be told, I really don't believe. I really believe this.
I believe it's all ended up in the same place.
I truly do. Somebody said, barges down the Hudson. Remember that,

(02:01:42):
Remember the barge that no one would take? Oh that
was the story forever. Recycling really across the cities, across
the City's more money than they want to admit. You're
one hundred percent right, You're absolutely right. They actually do
into other states. They ship it to other states all

(02:02:03):
the time. But the truth is they don't do what
they say they're supposed to do with this stuff. It
never goes to a place where it's supposed to go.
And I wish that, you know, if I had had
the time to I should have thought of this earlier,

(02:02:23):
about playing this audio. I thought that I had it,
but it doesn't look like I do. Normally I would
have this ready to go because it is such a
great piece that is indicative of the lies that were

(02:02:45):
told about this stuff. And I'm looking to see if
I have it in my database, because I know that
I had it a long time ago with John Stossel,
who was you know, he was walking around the city
asking people about the environment. Now this is the piece

(02:03:06):
he did on Judith Curry. I don't think this is
the one. It's only a couple of minutes. Yeah, it's
like six minutes and twenty four minute. He's like six
minutes twenty four seconds long. This one's really really long,
but he did one. I'm saying if I could find
it during the break, because it's really really a good
piece that shows that none of the this stuff is

(02:03:28):
ending up in places that it gets burned. In fact,
there was one guy in the piece of the documentary
where he's in the pile of plastic and as he's
going through the pile of plastic, he grabs something and
he picks it up and he looks at it and
I think, I want to say he's in Vietnam or

(02:03:49):
in Korea or something like that. I know it's in
a third world country. Well I can say. Anyway, he
picks it up and he looks at it and it's
from Ohio. That was the part that blew me away.
I was like, so and all of these environmentalists who
are like, you know, screaming and hollering. I was like, Oh,

(02:04:10):
we got to save the environment. That's not what's being
done at all at all. Tell Yuri to stay on
the line because we're gonna go to a break in
a second. I'll be happy to take his phone call
on the on the other side, if he's willing to wait. Tomorrow,
I've got to talk about the Milford Democrat town committee. Wow,

(02:04:31):
these town committees, they are really revving it up now
with this rhetoric. Like some of the stuff that these
town committee folks are saying. I mean, just like out
in the public people being called Nazis and boot liquors,

(02:04:52):
like for real. Now, I don't have a problem with
the people's free speech, but are we Is that how
we're engaging with the opposite side? You know, Greg Gutfeldt
said this the other day on the Five, which I
thought was pretty interesting. You know, I say that the

(02:05:15):
immigrants pictured with Ned Lamont on Monday trying to celebrate
health care for illegals, I say they have type two diabetes,
and I'm called a bigot. But an adult, full grown adult,
gets in a committee hearing calling her opposition nazi boot liquors.

(02:05:39):
Nothing I mean, all I said was saying somebody had
type two diabetes. But I never called anybody a fascist.
I never called anybody a boot liquor. I never went
that far. I've called them dumb, I called them lazy,
I've called them plenty of things. But I've never called
anybody a fascist. So so goes that. All right, we'll

(02:06:03):
take a break, we'll come back. We we'll do what
we do. We get this show wrapped up.

Speaker 1 (02:06:13):
The Odyssey app lets you jump back to the moments
you missed from wt I see News Talk ten eighty.
Download the free Odyssey app search wt I s News
Talk ten eighty and tap earlier today to get started.

Speaker 3 (02:06:25):
And I want to say congratulations to the Trump administration
as I did in the beginning, for as you heard
in the top of the hour news What about It,
many hour news about peace talks the Gaza and with Israel,
So you know, congratulations are are in order. And we

(02:06:45):
hope that we see the hostages freed on Monday or Tuesday,
as the President suggests. It is a win for all
of those folks in that region. And if the possibility
of peace is something that we should all look forward to,
I'm looking forward to it. And again I don't care
what all of the other rhetoric is. I'm hoping. I'm
hoping that it's a it's a win for everybody, and

(02:07:09):
folks who are looking for their loved ones are hoping
they'll get them back, so maybe that will happen. When
we come back. I'll play this clip because I found it.
It's called even Greenpeace says most plastics simply cannot be recycled.
I'll play that when we get back, so we can
get over this nonsense and people know that the plastics
not being recycled, it's a joke. Excuse me, Rallo. Rallo's

(02:07:32):
writes Reason your recent conversation with a listener, you criticize
Obama and criticized Trump for inappropriate statements. This kind of
ridiculous argument goes on all the time. I'm not sure
that I said anything about Obama's statements. I said Obama
said I'm really good at this killing stuff. In an
interview with The New York Times. I didn't criticize a statement.

(02:07:54):
I said that he said it, and no one took
issue with it. I'm really good at this killing stuff,
and nobody thought that that rhetoric was inflammatory. Donald Trump
said my poll numbers are so good that I could
shoot a guy on Fifth Avenue and he would. When
he was talking about how many people were loyal to

(02:08:14):
him as far as his voters were concerned, saying, I'm
so loyal that I could do the most egregious thing
and people would still support me. And now people are
suggesting that Donald Trump said I could shoot a guy,
which he never said. Okay, so I wish you know
it's not Try not to get insulted, but you guys
know that I know this stuff. Please stop playing me

(02:08:36):
like you're the guys who don't know this stuff. You're
the guys who are ineptyre, not me. I know what
was said. It's my job to know, so please stop
talking to me like you folks. You're the official nodels here.
That's my job. You don't even know what you're talking about. Okay,
I keep the clips. I'm the one who downloads the clips.
I'm the one who plays the clips. I know them,

(02:08:57):
like I mean, I know better my anniversary anyway, that
kind of ridiculous argument goes goes on all the time.
Just justify the inappropriateness. I don't care about inappropriateness. Stop
with the whining in a proper shut up. You sound

(02:09:17):
like a bunch of babies. Grow up? When did you guys?
Tell me? I understand. Look, I was raised by my
mama too, but I ain't take her characteristics. He said things.
I'm armed. Shut up. You bore me with that nonsense. Men,
grow a spine.

Speaker 17 (02:09:35):
Geez.

Speaker 3 (02:09:37):
Let's get another check of whether in traffic. I hope
it doesn't offend you. There might be traffic out there.
Try not to lose it. Mark Christopher's in the BPS
traffic center. Mark beasy with him.

Speaker 25 (02:09:47):
All right, I'll try my best. Gentle hands here, gentle hands,
what's up?

Yeah, it's just gotta be. It's just gotta be said.
This show is not for it ain't it ain't for everybody.
It's just it can't be. It just can't be that
the soft soap and the dudes made of fluff and
all that other stuff.

Speaker 17 (02:10:19):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (02:10:20):
I can't and and I won't be distracted by if
you if you, if you're faint, and you can and
your feelings are always hurt. You gotta go, just gotta go.
And I get it. I know there's a part of
the addiction that because the part of it is it's
just like, but I really love this show, but I
just wish you'd be nicer. Not no, like no, like
big giant letter f No. It's it's just that simple. No,

(02:10:46):
I refuse. I'm not a mean person. I know I'm not.
I know it's in my heart. I'm not gonna be
told or dictated by anybody what type of person I am.
I'm good. I'm a good guy, and I will continue
to be a good guy. Let me play this real
quick before I get to Yuri.

Speaker 2 (02:11:00):
Economics have just gotten worse now.

Speaker 12 (02:11:02):
My city would say more than three hundred million dollars
a year if it just stopped recycling.

Speaker 1 (02:11:08):
Recycling is an industry that's using increasingly expensive labor to
produce materials that are worth less and less.

Speaker 12 (02:11:15):
Because it's not worth recycling here, much has shipped overseas
to countries like Malaysia, where it's just piled.

Speaker 3 (02:11:22):
Up a vast field of plastic two stories high, some
of it from America. If you're gonna look on the
back here, Marysville Ohio. Say again, like I said, and
that video is two years old. So but I tell
you I you know again, this is my job. Two
years old. I remember exactly where the piece was and

(02:11:44):
the fact that it was from Ohio, right, always confirmed
with the facts. That's what we do here. Okay, it
goes to third world countries. The plastic is not going anywhere,
is not being recycled. You are not going to get
your palmolive bottle back. It ain't happening, okay, So please
let's just stop it with the nonsense. By the way,
I want to give a round of applause to my producer,

(02:12:06):
Emmy Award winning who did the job that I couldn't do.
He did the job that I couldn't do. He got
Mike Lombardi and he actually communicated with him. Mike Lombardi
is very, very busy. He is an extreme, incredibly busy guy.
But he's going to do his best to see if
he can set out some time for us so that

(02:12:27):
so that we can talk to him.

Speaker 6 (02:12:29):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:12:31):
It's important to get him on the on the phones
and to find out what he knows about these water,
windmills and all that other good stuff in the environment.

Speaker 9 (02:12:41):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:12:41):
Calamity that is causing. Now let's go to Yuri in Middletown. Hello, Yuri,
I'm good Yuri. Now, that name sounds like it could
be Ukrainian, Czechoslovakian, or even Russian. It is Russia from.

Speaker 27 (02:13:01):
Russia, so anyway, I'm surprised, ever since you recovering the
story about the trash that you might have even seen
my name turn up in that. I've been very, very
active in the opposition to that program since it came
to my attention.

Speaker 3 (02:13:12):
Oh man, thank you for calling. I really appreciate you
wanted to shoot out.

Speaker 27 (02:13:15):
A couple of other names as well as people. I
hope you're going to keep on this story, because there's
truly something of real interest here if you want to
follow it down and if you can make something of it.
I've been working very closely with a gentleman, Rick Sienna.
He's a private detective locally in town. We kind of
like started collaborating with a bunch of other local residents.
He did an f O I a request against the city,

(02:13:36):
which they you know, naturally fought resisted in many a
great way to keep us from seeing what was behind
the curtain about this whole trash program. Very very quickly,
we realized that the program was very much scammed. And
these soft people you're talking about, they tried every type
of tactic to you know, to shut down lanes of inquiry.
They accused Rick of being, you know, an aggressive type
of person and threatening people when he had done no

(02:13:58):
such things, as you know, Kick came out.

Speaker 3 (02:13:59):
Of the Is that that where they were they were
claiming the misinformation partner?

Speaker 27 (02:14:05):
Yes, so yeah, they started up this whole routine of
claiming that we're propagating misinformation. And it's funny because I'm not.
I don't consider myself a public and definitely I'm a conservative.
I've the longest time I was on the Democratic Party side.
I was registered with that party for nearly twenty years.
I grew up in New York, so I moved to
Connecticut more recently for work purposes. But I found myself
farther and farther away from their values because it's very

(02:14:26):
much like what you're talking about. They're they're gaslighting us,
and they're telling us about a topic.

Speaker 23 (02:14:31):
That no one would disagree with.

Speaker 27 (02:14:33):
No one would ever say anything like I'm against I'm
against being against fascism or I'm against being against the environment.
Of course, you want to save the environments. Yes, forgive
me idea. I'm a two year old daughter yelling at me.
None of us would say these things, but they're hiding
behind a mask of virtue when they're really just crony
capitalists and there's really ugly stuff that's going on. So
the CEO of the company referenced as Venders, it's a

(02:14:55):
man named Mark Daincy, came down to the city and
he gave us a lovely, big presentation. I was in
that took by Rick at the police department where there
was no cameras so they couldn't film the uh, you know,
the meeting of a concerned citizens uh. And he sat
next to me. I didn't know who he was at
the time. It had been a light conversation with him
when he told me that if I would just read
the book Nudge by Richard Taylor, if I were to

(02:15:17):
read Misbehaving by Richard Taylor, I would fully understand what
he was trying to do with the program.

Speaker 7 (02:15:24):
And I took him on his word, and I did that.
I read that book, and what I discovered.

Speaker 27 (02:15:27):
From reading that book was that he's employing a psychological
manipulation tactic. It's where you're going to introduce to people,
you set them up in a situation where they will fail.
They gave us three bags.

Speaker 6 (02:15:40):
It's okay, they did something.

Speaker 21 (02:15:41):
They gave us three bags to work with.

Speaker 27 (02:15:44):
They gave us three bags to work with and didn't
teach us how to use them properly. We squandered them. Oh,
it's okay, it's okay, uh responded those.

Speaker 22 (02:15:52):
We squandered those bags.

Speaker 27 (02:15:54):
And then they introduced those backs to us again at
a very very expensive rate. You know, dollars on coats
and these things are very very cheap. And then they
implemented their reach out to us to say, hey, let
us help you show you a better way on how
you can save money with this program. So it was
part of a NUDG series.

Speaker 3 (02:16:11):
It's pretty much in essence, what it is is that
the objective is to get you hooked on them and
then make it the only way in which you can
do You know. The only reason why I know this
and I didn't I swear to you this is not
the first time this has happened. Back in two thousand
and four, when I first started working in Hartford, Connecticut,
I'll never forget this story that I covered. It was

(02:16:32):
in a suburban Chicago and this was right around the time.
I'm almost certain it was either two thousand and four
or two thousand and five. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
This was the incandescent light bulb when we were switching, right,
it was that switch, But before that was happening, when
George W. Bush was finally going to get rid of that,
we had to go to these led light bulbs. But

(02:16:53):
what this suburban Chicago did was all of their customers,
their electric customers, they gave them these three light bulbs
to put into their houses so they can get used
to it. These these light bulbs were supposed to last
for like three years, right, so you don't have to
keep going back to get these new light bulbs. These
are supposed to last free forever. Everybody got the light
bulbs and they were just like, wow, what a gift

(02:17:13):
from the electric company. So everybody took the light bulbs.
Everybody put them in their house so they can see
their electric bill goes down. Here's where it gets crazy.
A month later they get the bill. It turns out
they charge them for the light bulbs. They thought they
were free, but they brought they charged them for the bill.
Then they told them they couldn't use any of the
light bulbs. But those, oh I'm sorry for That's okay.

Speaker 27 (02:17:41):
I don't have more time to talk.

Speaker 3 (02:17:43):
That's okay. Listen, Yury, Yuri. Here's what I'm gonna do, Yury,
before you say anything else, listen, go take care of
your daughter. That's important. I'm copying your number right now.
I'm gonna call you off the air and I'm gonna
get some more information on this slit. Like I said,
when I read it, I was saying, like, this is
a pro a program one. Not only they expanded, but
they lied to folks. So what are they doing about

(02:18:05):
it now? And they're saying, Oh, we're just going to
move the program around. It's just shuffling the you know,
the deck chairs on the Titanic, as government always does.
So I've kind of wanted to address this and I
want to go a little bit further. This is something
that we can address and we can fix.

Speaker 27 (02:18:18):
Yeah, they were they were deeply aware that it was
a broken program. And Rick and I have proof that
the then sustainability coordinator Kim O. Rourke had had a
direct relationship with Wayte zero, and they actually helped her
write the grant requests, knowing that they were going to
be the one to receive the money when it gets
slowed down in their direction. They were spending thousands of
dollars per month on something called Community Champions. Yeah, paid actors.

(02:18:40):
People were paid to support the program, show up at
meetings and say how great it was, how they were
saving money, these people were being compensated. Was great. It
was AstroTurf support. It was inauthentic. Yeah, it was just
an unbelievable message.

Speaker 3 (02:18:52):
I need to right at the beginning, I need, I need.
I need to sit on the phone with you and
get so much of this information. I will get it
to you. Go go tend to your daughter, man, because
you know she needs daddy, So I totally understand. Go ahead,
got thank you so much for calling. I appreciate you. Uh,
let's take a couple more before we get up out
of here. Somebody of read wrote something in the chat room.

(02:19:15):
Let me read, Zach said. He said, it must be
nice to be on the left to be able to
worry about someone saying something inappropriate, instead of people on
the right having to literally worry about being attacked physically
because you don't follow the delusion. Unfortunately, people on the
right have to worry about sending their child to school
in the and the second that they walk out that door,

(02:19:37):
they will be handed a library book graphically depicting sexual
acts and being told that that they if they goes
as so far as to say that they like the
color purple, their son is actually a daughter. And then
they have to worry about the school of filing a
report with DCF and claiming abuse because they don't feed

(02:19:58):
into such illusion. I need I need to continue. No,
you don't need to continue. I totally appreciate that someone
said that I was being I'm trying to be a
bully here.

Speaker 8 (02:20:07):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (02:20:07):
Look, if it gets old with you that I actually
have to tell people to stop being rude and disrespectful
and talking this nonsense about that. If that affects you
in some sort of way, Look, you know, I take
those l's. You know, I totally I respect you. I
respect exactly how you feel about it. But that doesn't
mean I'm going to change, you know, I say, do
it with grace and do it with respect. I'm trying

(02:20:29):
to do the same thing. But you know, if you're
not paying attention to the blatant disrespect that comes this
way on this show where people are like making comments
about your sobriety in a disgusting way, and I didn't
even want to go there. But if people are being
disrespectful to you, what would you have me? Do you
want me to show grace? You want me to be kind?

Speaker 17 (02:20:47):
I can't. I just won't.

Speaker 3 (02:20:49):
I'm not a bully, but I won't be bullied either.
So if you like, again, if you like to show,
if you don't, if you think, then you know I
think I'm too arrogant, that's fine too. But I think
my integrity and I think my personality and who I
am speaks for itself, and I think it's leaps and
bounds above what people think of me in a negative way. Okay,
that's It's as simple as that. And God bless you,

(02:21:12):
God bless you. Let's go to Fred in Middletown. How
are you, sir?

Speaker 24 (02:21:16):
Hey, I'm good, and you set me up perfectly because
I'm calling to talk about you. I got two words
for you. One is iconoclassed.

Speaker 18 (02:21:24):
You know what that is?

Speaker 3 (02:21:25):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 24 (02:21:26):
Okay, Well, you are at your middle name. One who
attacks cherished beliefs is Sham's radical and the other has
occurred to me when I said that I use the
Negro nonsense to communicate with Your show is about you
are a all capitals blasphemer.

Speaker 5 (02:21:48):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (02:21:48):
I know it, and look, I know it, and you
know what it is. I'll tell you this much, Fred.
And I don't tell people enough about this because I'm
not one of these soy boys that's always complaining about
my trauma. I don't do it. But there is a
truth behind this.

Speaker 1 (02:22:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:22:02):
As a kid, I tell the story about Cornflake. And
as a kid, I was bullied, like I mean bullied.
I mean I got jumped by like nine kids one
day who got me onto the ground and kicked me
and beat me to the point where I could barely walk.
I got bullied a lot as a child, and I
was scared of my own shadow. My mom was very

(02:22:25):
yeah yeah yeah, and again yes, my mom was very
physically abusive. She beat me with things like two by four. Yeah,
And I dealt with that my entire life. And you
know what, as I got older, and I decided that
I finally was going to stand up for what I believe,
and I used to let people bully me and for
what I believed or things that I knew weren't true.
And then I had the ultimate challenge where you get

(02:22:48):
accused of something that you know you didn't do, but
nobody will listen to you, and they would rather beat
you down and destroy your life. And I refuse to
go back. I'm never ever going back to the point
where people get to do or say or believe whatever
they want to do about me. I'm gonna stand on
my own two and do you know, and do exactly
what is necessary, and that is tell the truth without
favor and without fear. And I'm gonna if I gotta

(02:23:10):
take the lashes, I will take them. If I gotta
take the slings and arrows, I will. I don't care
because again, at the end of the day, when I die,
it's got to be on my feet, never on my knees.

Speaker 24 (02:23:20):
Well, And to use a baseball analogy, you're not going
down looking your swinging. And if I might throw an
axiom from a biology, I'm so glad I happen to
tune in to hear you drop the hammer on the
ever palindromic Bob there, Oh my God, what a horrible call.
Horrible voice, horrible everything. The principle is regarding the health

(02:23:43):
of an organism, that emination is as important to health as.

Speaker 21 (02:23:47):
Assimilation or digestion or respiration.

Speaker 24 (02:23:50):
You don't eliminate, you die, man, that's constipation.

Speaker 7 (02:23:53):
I couldn't figure out why his call is good forever
with Tom No.

Speaker 3 (02:24:00):
I don't look. I don't look. I don't want to speak,
you know, speak of the past or anything like that.
But again, like I just said, it's like at this
particular point, I played, Yes, I said, I played. I
played nice for a long time, and now I think
people say, oh, he's a nice guy. Let me just
be abusive. I'm done, so thank you, man, I appreciate you.

(02:24:22):
Time for me to go, folks, I'm sorry it is
at the end of the show tomorrow. Like I said,
we'll get into this town council. Uh, that's a spewing
this stuff. We We've got audio forward, so we'll play
that for you as well. This is actually getting This
is desperate what I'm seeing here by these people calling

(02:24:43):
everybody a Nazi who disagrees with them, and this is
you know, this is something that's got to stop, and
it's got to be addressed, but we'll get to that.
You guys, have a wonderful night. As I always say,
radio is free, so we thank you for paying attention.
Remember to keep JC in your hearts and in your mind.
John Patrick, you love you, I mean miss you. Remember
that panic is not planning, So playing your work and
work you're playing me. I've reached on the radio. You
have a good night, pleasant tomorrow, and we'll see you

(02:25:05):
back here many Mark Christopher, he's getting your home. He's
in the BPS driving Sinnec.

Speaker 25 (02:25:10):
Good night, so hey, good night, rees, have a good one.
Everybody have a great night. South all right, good sir,
thank you. It's South between thirty Fridays already.

Speaker 3 (02:25:18):
Yeah, you're right, lord, they've got to be Friday, Friday,
coming on.

Speaker 25 (02:25:22):
Upching thirty four downs and seeing a little slow.

Speaker 3 (02:25:26):
You're gonna work the whole day on Saturday, and you're
gonna move it in one shot likes to twenty eight.

Speaker 10 (02:25:30):
Probably all day Saturday. Me and my cousin. I was
supposed to be me and my cousin, my brother in law,
but he hurt his back. So just in time, Just
in time, yes, sir.

Speaker 25 (02:25:42):
Running slow from forty four Prospect oquen up to forty
six's in Avenue to Westbounds type from one d up.

Speaker 3 (02:25:51):
Uh ah blah, what was that? Let me see the
left of Bullies just compared reaction to George Floyd's voice
as Charlie Kirk. Yeah. Absolutely, Uh. Disagreement is never an issue.
You just want you to be respectful of. Oh okay,

(02:26:14):
you're listening to him. Yeah, somebody was right about the
two by four things. So two by four is two
by four. Stick was about this long. My mother grabbed it,
took it off of a couch, and she beat me
with it like if she were carrying a belt or

(02:26:34):
a switch, and she tore into my body with the
corner of this of the stick, and she beat me
all about my legs. I still have the scars today
because it cut into my flesh and she was beating
me about it. I didn't tell you the dirty part
because there was a dirty part to this story. The
reason why my mother beat me for an hour with

(02:26:56):
that two by four was because I took a dollar
and eighty cents from a brass piggy bank because she
had left for work and forgot to give me bus
fare so I could take my brother to his babysitter
and I can go to school. And because I couldn't
reach her and there was no such thing as a
cell phone, she had already gone. I needed to take
the bus, and so I took the money out of

(02:27:17):
the piggy bank, which she found out about it. She
accused me of stealing from her. That's why she beat me.
So yeah, I dealt with a lot of abuse in
my life, but it made me and I never ever
held anything against my mother about it. I don't bring
it up. It's like we'll remember that time when you
beat Nope, I don't deal with any trauma and I'm

(02:27:37):
not traumatized by it, and to go back to it,
I don't wake up in a cold sweat. It's a
fabric of my life. A lot of bad things happened
to me for my homeless time to you know, when
bullies beat me up, being disrespected, abused, all of it.
It's part of my growing up. That's why, with no
due respect, I look at the rest of these folks

(02:27:58):
screaming and hollering, it's about stuff that they were annoyed about.
How God what they get outraged about. Somebody called me
a name, Somebody said something I didn't like. Someone called
an immigrant fat?

Speaker 6 (02:28:10):
So what? So what?

Speaker 3 (02:28:14):
I look at all of that and I say, really, like,
I'm supposed to now, I'm supposed to change the way
I look at the world because you got offended about
words that. Now, those things are the ones that are
like crushing words somebody posted on a Facebook page you
had no business on other than to antagonize and to

(02:28:36):
attack because I said something on the radio that you
didn't like.

Speaker 1 (02:28:41):
That.

Speaker 3 (02:28:41):
You think that, for some odd reason, you should stop
the world so that somebody can pat you or give
you a hug or make you feel special. And then
you wonder why I turn around and look at you
and say, no, thank you. I don't do that because
of the abuse that I dealt with. I do it
because I know what abuse is. I know what oppressive

(02:29:05):
behavior is. I know what it's like to be silenced.
I know what it's like to be ignored. What you're
whining about is nowhere near that. Ever you pokes scream
about slavery. You have no idea what people have dealt
with in their life. So please, with all due respect,
on my show, it just isn't going to fly. Call

(02:29:27):
me callous, call me cold. I don't care. I've had
enough in my life to deal with it. I came
out on the other side and I am joyful. I
have grace, I have absolute pride, and I love what
I do and I love the people that I get
to do it for. So if you want to make
it about you, please go do it somewhere else. And

(02:29:49):
if it's callous to say I don't care, I don't.
I just want you to enjoy the show.

Speaker 8 (02:29:58):
Just do that.

Speaker 3 (02:30:00):
And if you can't, then go, okay, maybe my show
isn't for you. You guys, be good to each other.
