Speaker 1 (00:23):
Hey, yeah, they think should calm down. The show is
about to style the radio, turn it up, turning it
up low, turn it.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Up aloud like a dream come true.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Due to the nature of this program, discretion does not exist.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's Race on the radio right now on w t
I S News Talk ten eighties.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hey now, what's going on on you, Scotty Wadens. It's
Roland's favorite day. It's up day right here on Resa
on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten to eighty.
I got an interesting email today that I guess people

(01:22):
do not know how to get in touch with me
at WTIC. I've got a remedy that so they will
send an email to the brand manager or my boss,
and that my boss will forward it to me. So
I got an email from an organization that has invited
me to their facility. I guess I couldn't tell you

(01:47):
why they wish to do it, other than to debunk
what they call myths about what they do. I don't
have and I wish people didn't take things so personal.
When how do I put this? So, let's use recycling

(02:09):
because that's what this is associated with. So if I'm
talking about recycling in the United States, and someone's listening
to the program and they take a personal offense to
what I'm discussing about recycling, they may be missing the

(02:31):
point here. And if they are listening now and I'm
still taking them up on their offer because I think
there's a genuine opportunity here for me and for this organization,
I won't I won't even reveal who they are until
I talk to them first, and then I can say, hey,
can I talk about it on the air, and then
they'll tell me yes, hopefully. But there's a saying that

(02:55):
is on this program.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I know you can't listen all the time. We've got
our core listen. They're here four hours of during Monday
to Friday. They are writers, as I like to call them,
and my wife and my now adopted son likes to
call them. They are racist to the core. But if

(03:19):
you don't listen to the show, you're going to miss
certain things that I say, here's one of those racisms,
as we call them. If it don't apply, let it fly.
And I think in this case, someone heard me talking

(03:39):
about the subject of recycling and took it personally. But
if you are not who I might be talking about
or whom I'm discussing and you are the outlier. Don't
take it personal. It isn't about you. If you're doing

(04:01):
the job that is required of you as far as
recycling is concerned. God bless you. We applaud you here,
but don't take it personal. You know, and I know
that you know that there is an overall issue in

(04:22):
the recycling business. And it is a business. And when
it becomes a business and not a mission, which is
what it's supposed to be, a mission, not a business,
people cut corners, have they yes, because it's not what profitable.

(04:44):
They all got into it at the beginning and they
said it's a labor of love. We can make money off.
This happens every time. It happens every time. I'm sorry,
but again, if you're not that person, we'll take it personal.
That's all. And I can't wait to meet up with you.
It's just what I think we're looking at a little

(05:06):
more than ten days. Can't wait, can't wait. It's one
of my first orders of business. That's right, Mark, you
are a racist. That's right. You're not racist. You're a racist.
You tell him. I told you so. Now we got

(05:27):
to get to a serious problem here. Last night. As
I'm getting myself prepared for the evening, We've got to
you know, I have to watch a movie because we
have a guest coming on on Friday. Larissa Dolly is
going to be here on the program on Friday. Where
we do we make it a little lighthearted.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I like to do some interviews, as we had Melbourne War.
Next week, We're going to have a cool from cooling
a gang on the program. Sometimes I like to lighten
it up. But at the end of the day, what
I'm getting all my stuff together, getting ready for today's show.

(06:06):
Last night, I'm gonna do some tid bits and stuff
because the news can change. It doesn't matter how much
I prepare, something's going somebody's gonna throw a wrench in
at all. And as I'm preparing, I'm saying, get some
info on Jacqueline Mimi Torres's case, see if there's any

(06:28):
an any updates, and there were plenty, and I'd like
to talk about them. I'd like to talk about those updates.
I'd like to talk about a lot of people who
were involved, because yesterday I was pretty harsh on a
lot of individuals, family members, friends, neighbors, the people who

(06:50):
showed up at that courtroom at the arraignment of her mother,
her aunt, and the boyfriend, and according to the Hertford Current,
there were a lot of people shouting expletives at her
mother and aunt being very disruptive in the courtroom because

(07:12):
the mother of you saw it on WFSB. You saw
the mother when she came into the courtroom. She was
looking in the back behind us to see who was there.
And the Hartford Current reported that one individual said, nobody's
here to support you. Don't look back here and there's

(07:35):
nobody here to support you. Then it got a little rambunctious.
In fact, it was so wild. They said it was
more than a dozen officers in the courtroom out of
fear that something physical could have happened. I am happy
to hear that they took those measures that they saw that,

(07:58):
because again, the outweige rage is real, and it is
nice to know, I will tell you this. For me,
it was comforting to know that there were people who
were that outraged, who thought, I can tell, wanted to
jump over that partition and do the wrong thing, but

(08:20):
wanted to do it. Nonetheless, I understood that, and I'm
glad that the courthouse saw that tension beforehand. It says
a case like this, we got to keep the nope,
gotta do it. Very happy about that, but something else
happened that gave me pause. Now, I don't know if

(08:46):
anybody's gonna look at this the way that I did.
So again, if you disagree, this is what I tell everyone.
Please give me a call. Say something in the chat room.
I will read it. I am not afraid of people
being disagreeable for some of the stuff that I say,
but I'm coming from my own point of view. I'm
not trying to say the right thing. I'm just trying

(09:07):
to be honest about where I see this. So as
I'm reading the Hartford Current article and many others, there
was an interesting thing, and it was certain family members
did not wish to speak to the media, refused even

(09:29):
and in many cases the regular news media could not
get a comment from family members. I had to get
all of the information from Telemundo as far as the
custody case that we knew nothing about from two thousand

(09:53):
and seven. Everyone that I've seen thus far is reporting
based upon Telemundo. Or tell what's the other one? Euni Vijan,
the Spanish speaking news media found that odd, but still
there were a lot of people who did not wish

(10:14):
to speak to the media. Now you're probably saying to yourself,
Reese and something like this, you don't always want to
get in front of the cameras. Okay, you are one
hundred percent right. I concede that point. However, yes, you

(10:35):
knew it was coming. I'm thinking about this in a
very very real and rational way. The grandfather said, and
he's quoted here, the grandfather who had custody of Mimi

(10:55):
from birth until she was seven years old, said this,
And I want to read the quote correctly if I
can find it. My apologies for not having it at already.
I got so I got so involved in this. Okay,
yes it was that they said that. Oh yeah, I'm sorry.

(11:20):
He had said that everyone was going to pay for
little Mimi's death. Everyone. Now, I felt that as a
grandfather who had that child in his care from birth

(11:41):
to seven years old, gets ripped from his hands, ripped
from his wife's hands, her grandmother, and into the hands
of the woman who would be responsible for her death,
and says everybody is paying for this. So I ask

(12:05):
why all the silence, because look, I'm sorry, I'm saying
this if I was in that position, and I'm a
family member and I know the story, and I'm sure
they know the story. They had Mimi from the time
she was born until she was seven years old, and DCF,

(12:26):
and we'll get into that behind too. DCF comes in
and rips that child the only home she knows, immigration
advocates listen up, the only home she knew. DCF ripped
her from it in sunny South Florida and put her

(12:50):
in the hands of her mother, who eventually is responsible
allegedly for her death. And nobody is screaming to the
rafters getting to the bottom of this, talking to the media,
saying why did DCF take this baby? Why did DCF
put this in the hidle mother? Why did DCF drop

(13:11):
the ball? They'll be talking to everyone. I want this person,
I want that person. I want everybody on the case.
I would tell anyone who would listen, somebody finds who
killed my baby. But people said they didn't want to talk.
People's silence got this girl killed. What do I mean

(13:36):
the father, Hey, we're coming by to pick up Mimi.
She doesn't want to go. Who know what the situation was?

Speaker 6 (13:43):
When?

Speaker 2 (13:44):
When Dad came by, Grandpa, Grandma, come all the way
up from Florida to come visitor. Hey, let's go out
to dinner, guys. No, Mimi doesn't want to come. Nobody
stepped up and says, hey, that's funny. You know every
time I call I come up here to come visit
and meet me. That's what we flew all the way
from Farida. Can't we at least see her? No, No,

(14:05):
she doesn't want to see you. And nobody said a word.
Everybody silent. How so twelve year old girl, she's technically
gone missing. They're calling, and we were talking about a

(14:28):
year worth of calling, a year worth of visiting, a
year worth of dropping by. Hey how's Mimi? Ah, you know,
she's uh, she's not here. And nobody pushed back, and
now you have an opportunity to say something to get
her justice. Is this just gonna be a bunch of

(14:51):
people sitting in the courtroom screaming expletives at the mother,
the aunt and the boyfriend. Is that what this is
gonna be. Everybody's got words to say inside courtroom, But
where it matters, where we can get to the bottom
of this, that we can hold people responsible, We can
tell the media when asked, Hey, what's going on? What
happened here? What happened that we want to get to
the bottom of this. Where did DCF drop the ball?

(15:13):
We may be able to hold people accountable that we
can help you. Just tell us what happened, tell us
what your experiences were like with her mother. Nah, we
don't want to talk. But what does that mean? What
does it mean? Is it just faux outrage? There are

(15:38):
more people right now, and I'm being honest, there were
more people who don't even know that girl or know
that family, who are concerned than those who were literally
fingertips away from this girl, her existence, fingertips away. Grandma

(15:59):
and Grandpa notwithstanding, I can understand their difficulties. They live
over a thousand miles away. They kind of felt as
though they were just shafted by the system. Grandpa doesn't
even speak English, probably doesn't want to rock the boat.

(16:25):
He gets his granddaughter taken away from the home, the
only home she's known. How does that man not feel
like he's up against it, that he's got no wins,
that the system told him it doesn't matter, Abuela, It
doesn't matter, Abella, it doesn't matter. We have to control them.

(16:48):
When we take the baby, we take the baby. Yeah,
all of that seven years you put in, yet that
means nothing. You can't fight this system, and he's probably
believing it. I can't do nothing about this. I can
only hope. I can only pray and if anybody cares
about them, because they've got to be completely crushed. Grandma

(17:11):
and grandpa I have to be crushed out of anybody.
They raised that baby technically, and I don't even think
it's technical. Their child was killed, not her mother. Her
mother did that to her. Allegedly, their child was killed.

(17:35):
Their baby was killed, their baby got snatched from them.
There should be justice for them and all of those
people who were in that courtroom who clearly were nearby
and never lifted a finger because you didn't. Let's be honest,

(17:56):
you didn't. You didn't lift any real fingers who showed
up there to curse them out? Showing up late to
the party, now showing your outrage too little, too late.
The baby's dead. You're not responsible. I wouldn't even say

(18:16):
that you're complicit. But you're not needed now, not unless
you want to speak up. And if you want to
speak up, you need to speak up. On the behalf
of Grandma and Grandpa, and you have to speak up
on behalf of them to get justice from Mimi and
find out why they lost custody. When we come back,

(18:38):
we'll talk about her father. Sorry, there's a little issue
with that as well. Stand by, more news, more views.
We'll take your phone calls if you wish to opine
as early as this, we'll get to those as well.
It's Resaona Radio on WTICED News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Saan of wt I s then do us favorite, download
the Free honesty and favorite w t I see.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
We're back Reese on the radio. We're talking about, of course,
the tragic death of Mimi Torres, the twelve year old
girl who was found in a container in New Britain
and all evidence seems to point to her death being
in Farmington. I've been reading, as I said at the

(19:28):
beginning of the show, I was reading all of its
information that it happened so quickly, we figured out so quickly,
and I want to read this particular part. This was
from Telemundo. It says that Carlo Garcia, who's the primary suspect,
and her mother repeatedly deceived people about Mimi's situation. The

(19:54):
grandparents said that Carla told them simply that Mimi didn't
want to speak to them or her father, using that
as an excuse to block visits and calls. They hadn't
seen Mimi in person since a twenty twenty three trip

(20:14):
from Florida. Now, when they say they, I don't know
if that was the grandparents and the biological father, but
they say on a trip up from Florida in twenty
twenty three, it was the last time that they saw
Despite multiple attempts, Carlo always had an excuse, such as
claiming that Mimi didn't want to go out to eat.
The grandfather noted that Mimi's father had gone to pick

(20:37):
up her sibling just days before the remains were found,
but was told the same story about Mimi not wanting
to see him. He had not seen her since twenty
twenty three. Now, Father's, I know what you're saying. Dad's

(20:58):
I know in moms even no pressure, just accepting that
no antenna's going up suspicious. It's been two years. Nothing. Yeah,

(21:18):
and that's not enough. Again, I just I don't get it.
It was just this nope, doesn't want to see you,
and that was why. Now I've I actually I don't.
I don't want to be I don't want to be
too evident here when I say this is that I

(21:41):
know someone who's personally going through something similar to this.
They're not a friend of mine, but I know somebody,
an associate of mine, who has a father who's going
through this with their with their kid. They're they're constantly
back and forth the daughter and the father. Be daughter
spends the time not wanting to talk to dad, but

(22:06):
and the other daughter will visit the dad, so that's
in the same situation. He picks up one of the kids,
the other one stays behind and refuses to go on
visitation day, still a minor just refuses to go. Nope,
don't want to go because of a back and forth
that the dad had. Says that he's a little too hard.

(22:27):
Sometimes he speaks to her that she can't. She doesn't
like it. She's always nervous around him and uncomfortable. So
now visitation weekends, she doesn't go, but the other sibling does.
But here's the interesting part. Every time dad brings the
other one home, Mom and the other daughter at the

(22:48):
door to greet the sibling when they come home because
they haven't seen him all weekend. Hey, hugs, kisses, how
you doing? How's your weekend? Father will say hi to
the daughter that doesn't really speak to at least, you know,
maintain some connection. High sweetheart, how you doing?

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Dad and walks in the house, but there's some sort
of hey, get the same and I know that the
mom is doing it, so at least they see each
other to keep that connection. This dad wasn't getting that.

(23:30):
I know it seems nosy to say what I'm about
to say next, but that's got to be answered. That's
a question that's lingering there. It's gotta be dad twenty thirteen.
Every time you called, every time you came around, nothing

(23:50):
and you just accepted Dad. Was there any pushback? Where
there arguing? Was there arguing? Was there anything? Did you
at least contact someone to say, hey, you know it's weird.
I haven't seen my daughter in two years. My ex
seems to tell me that she doesn't want to talk
to me, but I find that odd. I don't even

(24:11):
see her. I don't even hear her in the house.
There's no proof of life. I hate to put it
that way, but let's be honest, Like, how long do
you just resist and it brought me to something and
ugly truth that it just really really just really bakes

(24:34):
me that I have to say this and I can't
believe it. I just can't. I have been whitewashing this thing.
I have been hesitant. I have been something is going
on with the matriarchy now. I think I think it's

(24:57):
time for the pendulum to swing back. I think dads
have been emasculated. I think dads have been marginalized. I
think fathers in our society have absolutely lost touch with
what their role is to acquiesce to the matriarchy. Because

(25:20):
I have a really, really sick suspicion that this dad
just went along to get along. I can't help but
feel that way. Daughter doesn't want to talk to you, Okay,
all right, I'll try again next week. Not demanding, not saying, hey, hey,

(25:48):
you bring up behind out here, let me see your face.
I don't care if you don't want to talk to me.
I want to talk to you, and in some way
that would have been out of bounds, no matter. I mean,
I remember a TV show called Kids Are People Too?

(26:11):
Do you remember that? I don't know if everybody remembers
that show. When I was a kid growing up in
my mother's very abusive and very strict household. I know,
I looked at that TV show and always said to myself, uh, no,
we're not don't get ahead of your skis there, buddy.

(26:32):
We are not people do. We've got a certain relationship
in this household. And I am not stinn I am
not going to get my back up against my parents
and say oh I've got rights too. No I don't.
I accepted my place in that hierarchy. Me child, see
not heard. Shut up, do your chores. You eat what

(26:55):
I serve you, and if you don't, you don't eat
at all. So I can't help but look at this
and just go Dad was just okay with this since
twenty twenty three. Hey, let me talk to Mimi. Nah,
she doesn't want to talk to you. Okay, what and
again the only reason why it brings an understanding to

(27:19):
all of this for me, right, if there was more
to it, then we can all go okay, all right?
Did he fight or toot the nail that it ended
up getting into a fight and it ended up being
you know volid Old where the mother was just hanging
up the phone blash you right, don't ever call you
at all. Right, all right, all right, I get it.

(27:43):
I don't even think it's that cut and dry. I
don't think any situation like this is cut and dry,
but something it's gotta give. Imagine you would find out.
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna paint a picture here, just
spitball in here, a man, your eleven year old child

(28:06):
says that they don't want to talk to you anymore.
And the last visit you had with that child, there
was no argument, no contention, nothing, what's nothing contentious at all?
And then out of the blue, out of nowhere, Nope,
doesn't want to go out to eat with the grandparents.

(28:29):
There was no fight, no argument, no nothing. Every time
you come around, hey, let's go out to dinner. Tell
Mimi we go into her favorite restaurant. No, she doesn't
want to eat. So the person you've raised for seven
years in your home, every facet of her life you
were involved in, and then oddly, out of nowhere, wants

(28:53):
nothing to do with you and you and I understand
there's a culture that people are probably saying to themselves
a kids today. I don't know. And again I know
that I'm looking at this from a perch and on
Monday morning quarterbacking. I get it, I get it. But folks,

(29:16):
this isn't about Monday morning quarterbacking. This is about analyzing
this old thing to where we are, and there are
certain unanswered questions that are key. We'll get to DCF
in the next hour. I promise you we are not
letting that one go. That's an important factor in all
of this. And I've got data that backs up what

(29:36):
my point of view is on this anyway, But there's
something going on. Child leaves it seven years old, all
the way back up to Connecticut from Florida. Clearly there
was a relationship from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three

(29:57):
and then nothing. My mom would ask back, are you
sure it's your eternity to eat tonight?

Speaker 7 (30:08):
Fo that.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Matt says. When I ask my mom what's for dinner?
She said, two choices, take it or leave it?

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Again, these you understand where I'm coming from. I know
you do. I am. This isn't even common sense, this
is basic. This is one oh one stuff. Guys. Now,
I don't know whether or not these folks are savvy
enough to ask these questions. That's why I'm here, and

(30:37):
I'm sure some of them are listening now, they're going, yeah,
that's actually an important question. I can't we cannot just
accept the answers as they are, because we know. I mean,
if you really think about this, this child had no one.
If that's the case, since twenty twenty three, there's no DCF,

(30:58):
there's no dad, there's no grandma, there's no grandpa, there's
no aunt, there's nobody. We have a packed courtroom of
a bunch of nobodies, no shows, who didn't decide to
take action until the body was cold, until the body
was decomposed. By the way, to you, folks, I know

(31:22):
I want nothing to do with you, and no one should.
No one should even consider you at this point. You
are useless, but then again, you always were. We'll take
a break, we'll come back, more news, more views, and
then we'll get to the phones. It's Rees on the radio.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It's Reese on the radio on.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
T I see, got plenty of news and plenty of
views to get to outside of this, but we are
taking your phone calls from the story of Mimi Torres
and her death as it relates to the information that
we have that's new today. There's some other staggering information
that we have as well that I want to get
to in the next hour after headlines. Stand by for that.

(32:05):
Let's go to the phones eight and zero five two
two w T I C. Hello, Christine hyl Well.

Speaker 7 (32:12):
I'm sorry to calling now because I heard you talk
about the Connecticut Son and I have to go to
work early.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
The Connecticut Son.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
You talked about that yesterday.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Oh oh, oh oh, is that what you were calling about.

Speaker 8 (32:25):
Yeah, but I'm going to work early, so I don't
know if I could get a signal on my That's
why I call it now.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
But yeah, just try me later on. I'm going to
stick with this story. Okay, no problem, you got him,
Thank you, you got it. Sean is in Meridian. What's
going on, sir?

Speaker 6 (32:44):
Hey.

Speaker 9 (32:45):
I'm because I haven't been able to get any satisfaction.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
With anybody else.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
And I know that you don't. Let feel like a
pitt bow on a stakebone.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
It's like nothing's going away. If there's an injustice I
just got came across my Facebook. Tim Walls in the
state of Minnesota sign an executive order to give driver's
license to illegal immigrants. He's surrounded by illegal immigrants, and
he posted this, and he just put a welcome sign

(33:15):
to Minnesota to come get licenses. And I just called
his office in Deeps in Minneapolis saying, you think they're
going to stay in Minneapolis?

Speaker 8 (33:26):
And are you?

Speaker 9 (33:26):
And my other question is, because I know you're I
believe your wife's a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
No, no, no, no, she just studied law.

Speaker 7 (33:34):
Okay, she studied law.

Speaker 9 (33:35):
Well, here's what I question I have for her, and
I don't need an answer now. If there's a way
that we can get a class attitude against him so
that anybody, whether it's Gavin Newsom or Pritzker or or Walls,
if they issue, as a governor of the state, issue
a license and an accident happens, that we can sue

(33:57):
them personally and the state personally for death or harm
or anything that comes from licenses issued in their state.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Well aside from the fact that it is out of
our state. I do know that the Justice Department is
actually on that story. I found that out out yesterday.
I'm not really addressing that at this moment, shown but
I do know that there are people who are on
top of it. I heard the story last night.

Speaker 9 (34:23):
Yeah, when I saw that I'm like, Okay, why do
you just tell people, hey, just break the law because
we're going to reward that. And here's the other The
other question I have, and this is to me, is
why all the laws if they don't apply to the
law of bding citizens because you.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
Can find us.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, it's this is nothing more retirement.

Speaker 7 (34:43):
I'm like, this is not.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
It's nothing more than a reaction to this administration. And
it is at point it's at this point is just
breaking the law. Uh, and just subverting the law because
of the fact that they don't like the person who
was elected. But thank you, Sean. I appreciate it, Sean.
Let me get let me get the let me get
the one more on the topic. I'm on buddy, all right,
thank you.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Ben.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Tina is in Connecticut. Hello Tina, Hi, Rees.

Speaker 10 (35:08):
I'm calling about the tragedy about Mimi Torres. Yes, and
I just wanted to say that I really wish that
the news reporting would be more accurate by saying that
the parents claimed to be homeschooling their children, these kids
were clearly not homeschool Yeah. In fact, Waterberry also was clearly.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Not homeschool absolutely right. And the interesting part about it
is that that report out of the Connecticut Insider who
said that Mimi was was homeschooled, didn't even do any
amount of diligence to find out that there isn't a
record of her homeschooling at all filed by the mother,
the aunt, or anyone else for that matter. There is

(35:52):
absolutely no evidence to support that she was homeschooled in
any way.

Speaker 10 (35:58):
And what's terrible about that is this could infringe upon
the rights of homeschooling families across Connecticut or a law
abiding or providing wonderful education for their families. And I
worry that the inaccurate reporting of this is not shedding

(36:18):
light on the fact that there was a criminal element here.
These parents were not meeting the educational meets of their
children in an alternative way, which is homeschooling.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Can I tell you, can I give you this We're criminal, Tina?
Can I give you a daunting number that I found
out yesterday?

Speaker 6 (36:34):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Do you know how many children are chronically absent from
Connecticut schools?

Speaker 10 (36:40):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Ninety eight thousand?

Speaker 6 (36:45):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Now, in order to be chronically absent from school, you
must be missing at least ten percent of the school year. Now,
the number that they do not give is which of
these children don't show up at all? And ninety eight thousand.
Even if the percentage of those who do not show

(37:06):
up at all in essage just don't go to school,
and you know there's a lot, I'm willing to bet
that it's a third of that number.

Speaker 11 (37:18):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Now, if that's the case, DCF is supposed to be
on that because we've got the educators who have them
on the attendance rolls those kids not at school. Therefore
immediately reporting those children you know, absence to DCF and
then putting them on the DCF roles to go investigate
why they're not at school. How well do you think

(37:41):
DCF is handling that burden.

Speaker 10 (37:45):
They're clearly not handling it exactly.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
And that is the reason why Tina that homeschooling is
being attacked right now.

Speaker 10 (37:54):
Well, also in this case, these parents had a criminal history.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
That's correct.

Speaker 10 (38:00):
The issue is criminality. It's there's something wrong with the people.
It's not.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Exactly. And I'm going to talk a little bit more
about that because I've got able child did a great
article today about that as well. I'm going to get
to that after the top of the hour. But thank you, Tin.
Now I've got a heartbreak coming up, and thank you
for your call. Let's get to the WTIC newsroom with
John Silva. Of course, we's got more on this and
much much more. It's recent the radio on WTIC News
Talk Tennady.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Brie on the radio making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now on w T I see News Talk ten eighty all.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Right, Normally right now, I would go directly in the headlines.
That's why I love it when you played that bumper,
because that's what I would do. But I have to
address this because we have so much other stuff to
get into on this story. There's just so many details
to sort of peel back. Anyway, I'm gonna put a

(39:01):
request out there, Senate and congressional Republicans in the state
of Connecticut. I know you listen to the show, and
I appreciate that you listen to the show. I hope
that you get ideas from this show. But I have
a request. But this is not something that I need

(39:22):
you to give me platitudes about. This is something I
need done, and I think it's incumbent on you to
know for this story. It will get national attention. The
story is already on the gateway pundit, and it will
go elsewhere. Able child is reporting on it, it will
go elsewhere. So here's here's something that you can solve.

(39:47):
And it's real quick and it's real simple, and the
data is available, but someone's not releasing it. So, as
I was talking to the young woman a minute ago,
why why do I forget her name already? Roland, do
you remember what her name was? The young lady I
just spoke to the last Oh, Tina, Tina, thank you, Sorry, Tina.

(40:10):
I apologize forgetting your name that soon, but it's popped
into my head. After having that conversation with her, I
wanted to get the number, and I said, there's got
to be a number on those ninety eight thousand school
children that are chronically absent from Connecticut schools. And again,
chronically absent means missing ten percent of the school year

(40:31):
or more. So then I went to go search and said,
you know what, how many of those kids aren't showing
up at all? There must be a record of them,
because again they take attendance records, they seem to keep
this number. Try this on for size. The Connecticut mirror.

(40:55):
They just reported that as of February of your twenty
twenty five, state wide rate of children who are chronically
absent peaked at twenty point two percent. This was an
increase of over seventy two hundred students from January's rate
of eighteen point seven percent. By the end of the

(41:17):
twenty twenty five A twenty twenty four to twenty twenty
five school year, the number had dropped to about eighty
three thousand, but now the number is up to ninety
eight thousand. As far as children who do not show
up at all, who have zero attendance records, no days

(41:38):
enrolled at school, showing up at all, there are no
records being kept, disseminated or even logged. Why technically these
are missing children, aren't they? They are missing from the

(42:02):
school system and could very well be missing overall. Which
children are they? Whose children are they?

Speaker 12 (42:18):
So?

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Right now, if we are to do anything about this,
there's a start. Hey DCF, you don't want to take
the you don't want to take the heat on this one. Fine,
help us. Let's get the Board of Education, Let's get
all of the schools to get that number to everybody.

(42:40):
Right now, how many kids are not showing up the school,
zero attendance. They came in, they've enrolled in the school,
never show up. Hell if it's ninety percent, Because I'll
tell you if a kids not showing up ninety percent
of the time, he's not showing up at all. I
only know that because I was that kid. And if

(43:03):
anybody would have had any interest, guess what they would
have found out. There was a fifteen year old kid
slipping in a stairway at one ninety three Dash thirty
Jamaica Avenue in Queens. Look it up right now. Go ahead,
anybody look it up right now on your Google Maps
and look up that building. It still stands. It's a
three story building on the corner of one ninety fifth

(43:25):
Street and Jamaica Avenue. It's a brick building. I slept
on the second floor staircase. I had zero days at
Andrew Jackson High School. So the question's got to be asked.
If they know that ten percent of kids are ninety

(43:46):
eight thousand kids are showing up only ten percent at
a time, or ten percent of absenteeism, they've got to
know the ones who aren't showing up. They've got to
be in the rolls. How many of those kids are
in the DCF database? How many who with the school
system is saying, hey, what, Johnny hasn't been here since August,

(44:11):
the beginning of a school year. It's now October. What's
going on? Okay, I gotta report this. Did nobody in
the classroom say like, there's no teacher saying, hey, you
know what, I'm doing attendance every day and I got
kids never here. I know they tell us that the

(44:33):
teachers care, but and I'm sure they do, but no
one's keeping a record of that, no one. I just
find it odd because everyone's trying to say that this
child was homeschooled, which, by the way, is a stretch.

(44:55):
Come on, folks, come on, who here really believes that
that child being homeschooled? Who believes it? Nobody does? And
trying to protect DCF and doing It's that to me
is the biggest problem in this is the fact that

(45:16):
there are so many people who are running to the
aid of DCF that they would lie to protect it.
What are we missing? There's something there, But I think
that number is easy to get. I think there are

(45:41):
teachers out there, Hey, listen, you know what, let's do this.
Let's put out an app on teachers. Hear me out, teachers.
Those of you out there, you know who you are,
those of you who listen to this program, those of
you who have husbands who listen to this program. Husbands,
if you're a teacher, wives, if your husband is a teacher,

(46:05):
and you know that it's one of the things that
your spouse complains about, your significant other complains about about
kids that are enrolled in school but never seem to
show up, don't worry. Leave us an anonymous tip. You
can go to res onnerradio dot com. You can go
right on the top that says contact us, click on

(46:25):
their the telephone number that shows up. You can even
send us a text. You don't even have to call.
All you have to do is go to reseunradio dot
com and click on that contact us on the top
right hand corner and just put in the information. How
many kids do you know of aren't showing up? And
I know that you know, and what is being done

(46:47):
about them? Is anyone reporting them? Republicans, this is a
job that you can get on. Because Lamont seems to
think Governor Lamont, that is, seems to think I have
nothing going on here. Nothing to be concerned about. This
is absolutely it's run amuck at this point. It's way

(47:11):
too many kids in the DCF system who are dying.
I mean, we're not talking about we are not talking
about just getting injured. We're talking about death here. And
if they're not responsible, if they're not responsible, good they
need to get on board to assist us to get

(47:33):
to the bottom of this. None of this protectivism of
DCF and trying to save it as an institution. People
are done and the morning you protect them and they
are not held to account, and people get to lie
and then leave the DCF and then you know, put
out these reports about how bad it is over at
the office. Those things don't help. If you can't whistle

(47:55):
blow while you're there, you're useless today. You can't leave
and then say, well, I can tell you what's going
on over there when I was there, Not in the
name of protecting children. That's just nonsense. Let me go, Uh,
Sam's and windsor.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
How are you, hey, Reees? How are you doing? Man?

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I'm all right, what's up?

Speaker 4 (48:18):
So I have some personal experience with this and uh,
the Connecticut educational laws. All a parent has to do
is say my churn, my my child is homeschooled, and
they can't say boo to them. The problem is systemic.
It starts at the top and it goes all the

(48:40):
way to the bottom.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
Well okay, well wait, wait, wait, bait, hold on, hold on,
say Sam, you do have some information in this. I'm sorry,
no offense, but when you say something and I hear something,
I need to I need a question. So forgive me.
I know you had a whole thing you wanted to speel,
but there's something important here. Okay, So all right, so
mom says my baby's being homeschooled, and then the administration
can say nothing, but just for checks and just for

(49:03):
checks and balances. Is it impossible for said administrator or
somebody who is concerned to say, okay, if the kids
being homeschool is there a database that we can check
that says the child is registered at this homeschooling program.
Blah blah blah blah blah. So at least we know
that the parent isn't taking that kid out of school

(49:24):
and violating the law, because in essence, it is against
the law.

Speaker 7 (49:30):
Absolutely law.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
The problem is that there is no such database. Look,
my children went to school for a bit in Windsor
and then left Windsor and basically hung out at mom's.

Speaker 13 (49:47):
House all time.

Speaker 7 (49:50):
Windsor called.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
So I'm a fairly religious guy. So I got them
enrolled in a homeschooling organization. And really, once I said
the words homeschool, DCF stopped calling, stopped visiting, stopped writing
the education.

Speaker 7 (50:11):
It was like it was.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Like a late sweat.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
But did they I understand that, But but are you
telling me that with that, you're saying, Okay, my child
is homeschooled. All you have to do is say it
and then there's no follow.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
Up exactly, that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Okay, Okay, that good. No, No, I'm glad that you're upressing
this because listen, we right now we have a target.
Then if that's the case that parents are allowed to
just say my kids homeschool and DCF just says okay,
ho hum and then we'll walk away, then good, let's
fix that. That's a great a great leading.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
Indeed. And also the Department of Children and the families
in Connecticut they got off h federal watch lists like
a year ago. They were being federally mandated because there's
such a screw I mean, the quality of people, the
works of the organization are just.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
I don't want to swear yeah, no, no, I know,
trust me. I've heard the words that have been said
and it is I work. Listen if I can, if
I can tell you a little tale out of school,
Sam we I was. I was a product of what
was called BCW. DCF is the same thing BCW in
Queen's was called the Bureau of Child Welfare. And that

(51:29):
was how I ended up in foster care when I
was four, uh until I was seven. And just like
Mimi here, I was put back in the care of
my mother when I was seven years old, and of
course my mom was incredibly abusive. I should have stayed
with my foster parents, to the Pattersons I wish I
had in many cases. In fact, I'll tell you this Sam,

(51:49):
my younger brother who got who went into the same
foster home as I did. We had another sister and
another with another family. But the foster parents that we
went to, Oliver and Helen Patterson. My brother, younger brother
lived with me for four years or three years when
he was very young, and lived with us when he
ran away from home. After we ended up with my

(52:10):
mother the police always found him at our foster parents' home.
That's where he always ran. So you know, I know this.
I know it personally and intimately about these kids who
are in foster care because a lot of these foster parents,
I know they're not all perfect, but it's a program
that I support well.

Speaker 6 (52:31):
I mean.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Another thing is that in Connecticut, most of them are
doing it for the money. Yeah, I mean, you know,
you know, you can have four foster children and be
making like one hundred and ten thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yeah, I shouldn't disparage them. There are some people who
do it for the money. I shouldn't say yes, they
all do, I know, but there are some people who
do that. Much like I said, it's not a perfect system.
Some people have found a way to you know, shit canery.
But you know, still I still support the system overall.
Thank you, Sam, I appreciate you. Let me get to
a couple more. Let's go to Bob and Danburry. Hello, Bob, sir,

(53:09):
Bob are you there? I am Hey, how are you sir?
It's recent the radio? How are you good?

Speaker 6 (53:15):
Race? Race?

Speaker 11 (53:15):
I'm listening to the commentary and I'm just curious, is
there a number of students shown in that database that
shows that they are listed as homeschooled, and if so,
based on the last caller, evidently there is no follow up.
But should there be some type of follow up for
those homeschooled individuals who are identified as homeschool Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (53:38):
And I think about this. You know, if you're in
a department of children and families and your role is
to ensure, hey, the kids not in school, I need
to make sure that the well being of the child
is intact, that they are with parents who care about them.
The child is not being abused, and he's not being
held from school for some other nefarious reasons, right because
they're trying to keep him from being seen or here

(53:59):
you are he seen because he has wounds on his body,
or he's being physically abused in some way. My ba
if my if the parent is telling me, oh, my
kid's not enrolled in school because he's homeschool if I don't,
then go, okay, that's fine. We're gonna have to check
some back channels to make sure that that's accurate. Can
you tell me the whole school homeschooling program that your

(54:19):
child is with? And then they do a follow up
and they say, oh, the kid's part of a homeschool
program and then leaves. And I would do it just
like I would do any investigation. Monitor that program for
six months to make sure the kid is still enrolled,
and then when we're certain, then we move on. But
we don't just say we're gonna take the parent's word
for it and say my kid's homeschool then, and we

(54:40):
treat that as like you know, the cross to Dracula
and say oh, okay, I want I want to go
any further than that.

Speaker 11 (54:48):
Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree that that needs to
be changed number one, where where there's some accountability to
the homeschool program as well as the parents exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
And again this is the Again, this is the department
that supposed to do the investigation on the welfare of
the child. This is not an organization that comes in
and peeks its head and it says, hey, everything all
right in there, everything's fine, okay, bye. That's not what
they're there for. They're there to actually find out that
the child is being well kept in that home by

(55:19):
the parent, especially if there was an alarm bell or
some red flags that go off on that child. One absenteeism.
That's rule number one. If the kid has been absent
ten percent of the school year, that's a red flag.
And if you go there when you say, oh, the
kid's being the homeschool, I'm gonna need some information.

Speaker 13 (55:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Absolutely, thank you, man, I appreciate you.

Speaker 10 (55:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
You got it. Let's go to Ann and Meridian.

Speaker 12 (55:44):
Hello, Ann, Hi, how a yah, I'm good good. I
have wanted to call you every time and GCF comes up,
and I'm always.

Speaker 5 (55:53):
In the car and I.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Right, so glad you got the chance.

Speaker 12 (55:58):
Yeah, I am too. Anytime something horrible like this happens,
I immediately look to see if DCF is involved. And
you know what, they always are. The little boy in
Bridgeport who was beaten to death with baseball bats, DCF
was called on that two days before the little boy died.

Speaker 5 (56:15):
They're suing.

Speaker 12 (56:17):
The little boy was found in a Milford hotel floating
in the bathtub. One day before that. DCF was called.
And your previous caller alluded to the fact that DCF
was under federal supervision for a few years, and it was.
It was under federal supervision for thirty years and then
just a couple of years ago. I want to say,
twenty twenty two it was removed. And I just think

(56:40):
that DCF needs to take some heat for a change.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Yeah, And I think that this protective layer that is
being put around them, and it's by the usual suspects,
the people who do not want to get to the
bottom of these tragedies just immediately come to the aid
of say no, no, DCF is doing a great job. And look,
I'm by every metric that I've seen in the last

(57:05):
three years, this would be a defunded This would be
an argument for defunding the organization when you have that
many kids dead in three years.

Speaker 12 (57:15):
Just look at some of the cases. There's always DCF involvements,
and you know, it's really sad. I feel so horrible
for this poor stark.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
You know, I look at I look at it this
way and and I think this is a key way
to look at it. If DCF is supposed to be
the agency that that that is brought in to prevent
tragedies like these, and they only happen anyway, they are useless.
Now many people consider around and say, but what about
all the good work that they do? I would say good,

(57:47):
if they do a lot of good work, let's I
don't ever hear about it. I never hear about it.
There isn't any anything that's being publicized about the good
work that DCF is doing. I hear a lot of
stuff that they've dropped the ball on. And then when
we're asked, when we ask questions about why certain things
are going on, which kids are the ones that are risk,
they give us nothing. They've got nothing to say, and
they've got no data. They've got no database to at

(58:10):
least present. So that's where we are.

Speaker 12 (58:13):
Then, Well, I'm glad I called in because this means a.

Speaker 6 (58:15):
Lot of me.

Speaker 12 (58:16):
It's just a horrible situation.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Yeah, you got it, and thank you so much. We'll
take a break. We'll take more of your phone calls.
I see the phones ringing. I promise we will get
to them all. Stand by. More news, more views at
Teresa and the radio one. Oh my goodness, WTIC news.

Speaker 10 (58:32):
All right, this is Mike Allen wt I c AM
pilot and Trafford reporter.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
Happy birthday, WTIC.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Hey, we're back and it's time to get into some news.
By the way, zoron Mom. Donnie is currently in an interview,
a one on one interview with Martha mccallahan, Fox News.
Not that you should run over there, just we'll see
there's any highlights that we can get in to today. Also,

(59:00):
we've got some other news. Don't forget. We got to
get into Nancy Pelosi. You're not gonna want to miss this.
This just happened a little bit a little while ago
on the steps of the Capitol, So we have to
get to that. Also, Chris Murphy, we've got to talk about,
and no Kings, and a whole bunch of other stuff
as well. New data suggests that fewer young adults are

(59:22):
identifying as non binary, a term that refers to individuals
who do not identify as male or female. Eric Kaufman,
a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, released
the report titled the Decline of Trans and Queer Identity
among Young Americans, in which he suggests that the percentage
of non binary gen zers in America has declined in

(59:46):
reaching recent years. Gouffman compiled student survey results from the
Higher Education Research Institute or HARRY and the Foundation for
Individual Rights and Expression or FIRE, as well as private
college prep school and over Phillips Academy in Massachusetts and
Brown University in Providence in Providence, Rhode Island. Sorry he

(01:00:09):
also included data from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention surveys of US high school students, the most recent
from twenty twenty three, in addition to several smaller surveys.
In this report, he pointed out that FIRE surveyed over
fifty thousand US undergrad students, mainly at leading research universities,
this year their findings, pointing out pointed out that only

(01:00:33):
three point six percent of young adults identified as as
a gender other than their male or female gender, a
steady declined compared to five point two the last year
and six point eight in the year before that. Leaders
of the Young Republicans throughout the country worried that it

(01:00:56):
would happen to their telegram chat if it ever got leaked,
and it has. Politico has gotten a hold of over
twenty eight thousand messages in this private back and forth,
and people have been made to respond to this, which
is actually, to me kind of funny. So Politico did

(01:01:17):
an article where they are upset that these young Republicans
were cracking jokes in these private messages that talked about
things like Hitler n seize all this other stuff, and
I just want to make sure that this is the
big hubbub. Even Vice President jd Vance talked about it

(01:01:37):
today and he clapped back at Politico and says, you
guys really want to make a big deal out of this.
These people joking when you said nothing about J. Jones
in New Jersey, the guy who's running for attorney general
talking about killing kids, you guys had nothing to say
about that, And you guys want to talk about this.
Here's the interesting part, and this is the angry part

(01:01:58):
of the Politico ad. So you know, according to these
text messages, out of twenty eight thousand of them, they
found the F word, gay slur, the word retarded, and
the rap version of the N word, you know, with
the uh instead of the er. They found the use

(01:02:22):
of those three words combined two hundred and fifty one
times out of twenty eight thousand text messages. Moving right along,
jd Vance handled that well. Another day of nationwide protests.
By the way, you know it's going to take place

(01:02:43):
this Saturday, and I found out if you don't know
that it's going to take place right in Connecticut as well.
But there's something interesting that someone pointed out they were
a little concerned about the number of people who who
are going to show up, even though according to some reports,
the last No King's protests drew about seven thousand people

(01:03:08):
to the capital city. But they clearly must be concerned
about how many people are gonna show up this time,
because someone noticed that each of the protests seemed to
be scheduled right after each other. So there's like a
eleven thirty protest until twelve thirty, and then there's another
one at one thirty in the town over, So people

(01:03:31):
can just sort of protest top so they can keep
the thing not going, but just show that it was
massive numbers because each one will be counted individually and
so they'll be able to double dip. So I thought
that was interesting. In fact, Chris Murphy has cut an
ad for the No King's protest on the eighteenth.

Speaker 14 (01:03:53):
So just blocks from here in Washington, DC, on October eighteenth,
there will be the big national No King's protest, But
there's a protest in your town or in your state too.
You can go to Noekings dot org and find out
where the closest event is to you. This is important,
aland Trump is trying to destroy the rule of law,
trying to destroy our democracy, trying to stop you from

(01:04:13):
being able to speak freely.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
But he can't win if we mobilize. I keep trying
to figure this out. So everybody mobilized, and it means
that Trump can't win because everybody is out on the
street on Saturday when the government's closed. And what exactly, Like,
what's the thing that's going to happen if everybody mobilizes

(01:04:35):
on Saturday, Chris, I looked it up. I actually checked
it out. I went like, what could possibly be the thing?
So they said that the protests will defend democracy against authoritarianism,
rejecting kings and tyranny, symbolically amplifying marginalized voices. So I

(01:04:55):
guess they'll just get a megaphone and building sustain resistance.
That's that's that's what this thing is going to accomplish.
Just they're just going to be standing outside, Okay, all right, whatever,
that's that's what they do. Let's go to the stupidest
thing I read today. Yes, you do act.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
This could very well be the stupidest person on.

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
The face of the earth.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
I did not know this, and I had to be
told by a CNN reporter men like attractive women. I
did not know this. I did I needed a CNN
reporter to know this, and they are not happy about it.
According to a CNN report this summer, one of their

(01:05:54):
reporters got a cultural whiplash. She writes, as a child
in the nineties in the early two thousands, I grew
up with my mother and grandmother's generations and their fight
for legal and workplace equality, helping shed social misogyny. In
the past decade, in particular, I saw evidence of progress
in my media diet. The movies, the shows, the books,

(01:06:15):
and the advertisements I consumed were increasingly giving women a
seat at the table. Heroin Chic fell away, the body
positive entered the fashion world. Stories about women stealing your
man were traded with celebrations of the girls, girls who
resisted the competition for men's attention. It seems like women
were taking a deeper breath without such heavy cultural restrictions.

(01:06:40):
Then there was a shift, she writes. It wasn't around
the twenty twenty four president election it always is, or
since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Maybe when men's
rights activists pushed back against the me too movement, Whatever
the catalysts, a change in a political environment seemed to
connect with social change that brought back narrow and at

(01:07:03):
times constrictive ideas of womanhood depicted in the media. The
recent rise of weight loss medications coincided with social media
influences sharing ways to get smaller and no longer celebrating
bodies of all sizes. Advertisements followed, suit making men's desire
once again a dominating factor in how stories are told

(01:07:27):
and how women are portrayed. How are these discarded ideas
made its way back into circulation. Did we all agree
that we had enough of them? No, we did not.
We did not all agree. The male gaze, she writes,

(01:07:48):
that came roaring back this summer. Do you know what
she says is to catalyst you want to see to say?
It was the Bell Weather moment, Sydney Sweeney, that's right.
The American Eagle ad, the controversial ad that men turned
around and say, hey, that girl's pretty hot, and American

(01:08:10):
Eagles sales sword because of it, even though people called
it everything under the book that they thought would work.
This woman is absolutely upset about it. She is so angry.
No more body positive men are actually gazing at pretty girls.
Ooh she's pretty. Oh she's hot. That's now bad, folks,

(01:08:34):
that's not bad, and this woman is upset about it.
Gone are the healthy girls of Lizzo. By the way,
as I always said before, if you really, if you
really want, if you really really want to test this anywhere,
find yourself one of these body positive numb nuts. Find them,

(01:08:58):
and I want you to go right to them and
just say, damn, you're hot like Lizo, Damn yours pretty
as Dylan mulvaney, and see how they respond. Let's see,
let's see if they are really really down for the cause.

(01:09:22):
You know, mattiol says, forget Sydney Sweeney, give me Ruth
Bader Kingsburg every day. I won't. I won't knock your hustle, buddy,
I won't. I will not knock your hustle. If that's
what you're into, that's fine. I remember a radio host
asked me, well, actually I know radio hosts actually used

(01:09:46):
to work with, and he asked me whether or not
I thought Hillary Clinton at any time in her career,
any time in her life, was attractive. And I have
to say there was one time that I can honestly say,
she was kind of cute. But it all went south
after that. And it was exactly the time when you know,
people said that you you know, you had to wear

(01:10:06):
pantsuits to be in Washington. It was over. Bob says,
I never had a ten, but two pretty good five
and a half's oh, two pretty good fives? Yeah, I
don't know. I've had my share of fives too. Let's
take a break. We'll come back. More news, more views.
We got traffic and weather coming up as well with

(01:10:27):
Mark Christopher. It's Reese on the radio on wt I
see News Doc ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
It's race on the radio on t I see.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Let's get to the phones real quick. What's up, Jim,
how are you?

Speaker 15 (01:10:41):
The last time I tried to amplify my moderate voice,
that was called a racist and a fascist by people,
and a Nazis by people who knew me and debated
me because we had different concerning politics over many years,
and including members.

Speaker 7 (01:10:58):
Of my family.

Speaker 15 (01:11:00):
Yeah, man, who also had differences. Well, we would have
differences of opinion concerning politician we hauld debated and and
and sort of Trump don into office, that all went
out the window and I became the I became the walking,
fascist loving Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Is it a fascinating change. You know, it was interesting
that the person I noticed that with like in real
time was Roseanne and her stepdaughters from the children of
her from her last marriage. And she raised these little
girls in her house until their adulthood, so she had

(01:11:41):
been active in their lives all the time. Once she
started to think openly about conservatism and made it known
it was unapologetic about her support of Donald Trump, these
people acted like they didn't even know her anymore, that
she had transformed in a way that made her like

(01:12:03):
everything that she stood up for when it came to them,
and their beliefs went right out the windows.

Speaker 15 (01:12:09):
Let me just throw this at you. My position has
and always has been concerning Trump. I don't care about
the guys, bombast or self centered ego, nothing right, because
that's what most politicians are. All I care about are
the results of the policies of the politicians who's telling
us she's gonna do something, and that even that wasn't
good enough, even that wasn't good enough because.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
They don't see him. They don't but see Jim Jim.
That's where we lose. I think that the conversation with
these folks. Uh, when it comes to the debates, they
do not see the politics of Trump. They only see Trump.

Speaker 15 (01:12:50):
Why, yes, but you know what, I don't see Trump
in that way.

Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
But how do you deal with how do you deal
with p Jim? But how do you deal with people
who do? Because I'll put it to this way. When
you're making like if you're making a two tiered argument,
or you're having a two tiered argument, let's put it
that way. You're on the ground floor talking about policies.
They're on the second floor talking about the man. You

(01:13:18):
know what I mean, Yes, I know that. So my
question to you is is that while you're debating that
and they're screaming but he's an awful person, how do
you meet them where they are and have that conversation.
You can't.

Speaker 15 (01:13:30):
You can't mess around trying to tell you. Yeah, I
was flabbergasted the first term of Trump. Flavergasted that somebody
could because I don't want to talk to you about politics.
You're crazy because you like that guy. Yeah, and then
follow that bodle that up with just very hateous sland
their things and then spread it across Facebook, spreading across

(01:13:51):
social media about somebody they know it's not that person.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Hmmm, yeah, I don't think they. I don't think that
they care. I think that and I think that's what
it is because I think that for a lot of
people on the left, politics is an emotional thing, right,
That's that's what it was like when they put their
name behind someone or their support behind someone, they are
actually like it. It's more than a football team, you know.

(01:14:17):
It's like I put it in this way, more people
like there were so many people who didn't care that
Lebron James switched teams here or there are everywhere because
of their dedication to to Lebron. And while people who
were Cavalier fans looked at and just said he abandoned us.

(01:14:37):
You know, it's like that's the way they looked at it.
So it's a weird, it's a weird dynamic, but that's
the way it is. Thank you, Jim, I know you
got it.

Speaker 5 (01:14:45):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Hey, sir, it's Race on the radio on news to
ten WT.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
I see.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
We'll take your calls about the DCF and of course
about the death and murder of Mimi Torres if you
still want to call in, even though we're moving on
to other subjects. You know, as you know, I'm free wielding.
I could do any subject, any matter whatsoever. And I
know some people have got some other stuff they want
to talk about, you know, but if it doesn't, you know,
if I can't talk about it, I'll tell you, you know,
let's move on from that or whatever the case is.

(01:18:26):
But whatever the case may be, you want to call in,
you can't, you know, we'll wing it. I wond to
address something if I could, before I get back to
the phone phones. And when I was doing my podcast,
I used to do some very very funny and very

(01:18:47):
inflammatory bits. People get ticked off about Thursday's Negro nonsense.
I was really really hardcore, like cable television hardcore with
so imagine Chris Rock were a conservative, it still wouldn't
measure up because I told a lot of hard truths

(01:19:11):
on my podcast and I did not mince words. And
we used to have a bit on my program called
Negro Myths. And what this was to what it was
established to do, was to dispel nonsense that people often

(01:19:33):
talk about inside the hood, the place that none of
them would ever roam. But again, I lived in and
I understand the nature of the hood. My wife today,
when she tells me, she tells me this all the time.
When I introduced her to friends and associates, she says, damn, baby,

(01:19:54):
you have some janky friends. And I go, yeah, I know.
And the reason why is because I love people who
are as we used to call them, gutter. They're effective,
they are effective and they keep you down to earth.
I can hang out with the upper echelon. I can

(01:20:16):
hang out with the prim and proper. But I'm a
dive bar kind of guy. I don't you know. I'm
just you know, above, I'm right above sea level. And
the reason why is because if I don't understand what's
going on, I can't convey to you what's going on.
So if I'm above it all, how could I possibly
convey to you that I understand. So we used to

(01:20:39):
do this bit, and it was always arguing with people
who had never lived in those things, have never been
in those conditions, talking about them. And a common Negro myth,
as it were, was that the white man is infesting
black neighborhoods with guns. I hear it all the time

(01:21:02):
because there was just this, There's a press conference going
on about violence, violent crime inside the neighborhoods, and people
are standing by who again do not dwell in the hood,
would never dwell in the hood, And if they did
go through the hood, they lock the doors, roll up
the windows, and speed through its fast as they possibly can.
And we're talking about people of color here who seem

(01:21:22):
to know everything there is to know about the ales
of these individuals. They know nothing. So let me dispel
this myth if I can. Black gang bangers do not
get guns from white folks. They never will. People who

(01:21:44):
sell guns in the hood to gang bangers do not
get them from white folks either. Let's use the logic here.
Please just listen closely. You're a gang banger and you

(01:22:05):
want to purchase the next heater, the next chop, or
is the kids call them in Chicago the switch? Yeah? Interesting,
how I know the term all of those things that
they they get their hands on. Do you think that

(01:22:26):
there's some white guy standing around going, hey, come here, buddy, Hey, yeah,
what what set are you claiming? Yeah, come on over here,
I've got a couple of burners for you. How would
you like to take a look at all of these
fantastic ratchets I have for you? This one will definitely
shoot up the block. Do you think that that's what

(01:22:47):
young black kids are doing when they go and buy
those guns, that they are purchasing them from the white
man who's infiltrating the hood and selling them to them.
Is that what you believe that is? Do you also
believe that's the case when it comes to drugs or
any other illegal substances or contraband do you believe that's
the case that the white man is going into the
hood and the white folks that just I mean, the

(01:23:08):
black kids in the neighborhood are just walking up to
the white man who's got it in the trunk of
his car. And you don't think that any one of
those kids would say, yo you five oh son, yo
you the cops son you to d That's exactly what
those kids would do. Those kids would never purchase those

(01:23:28):
items from a white person. That's why it's a myth
to suggest how did the guns get in the neighborhood
from people who look just like them. In fact, we
know this to be true because I know it to
be true because I've been there. A lot of these
kids go pick up the burner at some apartment in

(01:23:52):
a Spanish neighborhood. A lot of the Puerto Ricans, Dominicans
and other groups who actually do the hand to hand
sales and those things, none of them are white. They
don't go into the nice side of town and go
pick it up at the gun shop who's selling them

(01:24:13):
guns behind the alleyway. That's not how it works. So
when you ask a ridiculous question, where did the seventeen
year old get the gun from someone who looks like him?
Do you think a white person would be able and
the kid wouldn't turn around and say, I'm suspicious about you,
white guy. What's your name, Billy? Where are you from? Billy?
What are you doing around here selling ratchets? So please

(01:24:38):
get that out of your head when you're asking this
ridiculous question about who's bringing the guns into the neighborhood.
Black kids, Hispanic kids, grown adults, people in gangs, people
who actually go to places and pick them up and
drive them into the communities. There is no white interloper.

(01:24:58):
It's the same thing with the drug trade. Those things
are usually infiltrated, infiltrated by none other than brown folks.
That's right. They traffic in those things, from guns to drugs,
to women, to everything that you could possibly think of.

(01:25:18):
Because these kids only do dealings with people they know
and people who look like them, who can who they
can trust. Otherwise, your logic makes no sense. It just
doesn't if you really believe that. Just again, think about it.
Have you ever asked one of these kids if they
would ever pick up a gun? From a white person
coming into the neighborhood. What a trunkload of them? Do

(01:25:40):
you think that's how it works? Yeah, good luck with
that idea. Go ask them. I bet you never have.
Now let's go to the phones. Eighteen zero five two
two WTIC what's going on? Ken?

Speaker 10 (01:25:53):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (01:25:54):
That noon?

Speaker 6 (01:25:55):
DF hold schooling. I just want to let you know
that I know teachers and school board members, and in
order to be homeschooled, they have to file plans with
the school district, get killed plans. So those kids are
not being reported absent in the district, they might has

(01:26:16):
absent And.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
So are you saying, Ken? Ken? If I could just so,
just so I can get an understanding of what you're saying.
So you're saying that if a parent has a as
a homeschool child, a homeschool child, that there is a
record that sort of coincides with the board of educational
public school system, that in essence sort of there's a
check in balance. So the kids not marked absent in

(01:26:38):
public school because that kid's accounted for as a homeschool child.

Speaker 6 (01:26:43):
Right, he's not a student in that school district.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Right, Okay, But there is that there's a check in
balance that could say, hey, what happened to John Smith?
I thought he was enrolled in school, and there's like, no, no,
he's homeschool. Then these records coincide.

Speaker 6 (01:26:57):
With that, correct. Okay, So now the disconnect between DCF
and the school district, that's a whole different story because
you got DCF at the state level, you get the
school board at the local level, and with the silos
in government not talking to each other anyway, that makes
it even worse. So if a parent would go to

(01:27:20):
tail DCF, no, my kids being homeschool, that's why he's
being reported absent, DCF should not be believing that, right, If
he's reported absent, he's a student enrolled in the school,
he's not being homeschool.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
Exactly because again there is a fail safe that protects
that kid from ever being marked absent because both records coincide.
Which again, you know what makes me crazy about this
ken which makes no sense, is are you telling me
that DCF can be holed off by a parent, Like
think about this, If a parent was doing something absolutely

(01:27:55):
like ridiculously nefarious to this child, that the thing that
would send DCF packing is wait a minute, my kids
home school? You get out of here and DCF goes.
Don't you know, no problem that it's over.

Speaker 6 (01:28:10):
No, if that is happening, then that df workers should.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
Not be working in exactly. I agree. It seems like that,
you know, and I would almost see that as an
opportunity to say, who I got another kid off my caseload.
I mean, if it's that easy, every parent can do it.

Speaker 10 (01:28:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
Yes, again, if he's been reported absent from school, they're
not homeschool.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Yeah, indeed, good point one should cancel out the other.
Thank you, Ken, I appreciate that. Yep, you got it,
You got it, sir. Let's go to I'm gonna take
Tom and Thomason and then Fulton. How are you Tom?

Speaker 7 (01:28:50):
Hey? I will thank you. I'm sure you like I
go nuts when you know, the left calls us that
and everything like that. So having said that, why in
God's name place said that? Why does has left? Why

(01:29:14):
all the news organizations to sign a pledge that they're
gonna let the Pentagon look.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
At the news first?

Speaker 1 (01:29:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:29:24):
I didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:29:26):
Of fascism.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
Yeah I don't know. Yeah, okay, I can I I
don't want to defend it because I can't. I can't
defend it. But I am gonna play devil's advocate if
you'll allow me, because I know I'm gonna get hell
for doing it. Because people say you're defending him. I'm not.
I agree with you one hundred percent. Can't believe that
that is such a self own or own goal, as

(01:29:50):
we would say in soccer, that it's absolutely unfathomable. He's
got to pull back and he's got you know, in essence,
he's got to take the egg on his face and
move on. But let me tell you why I think
he's doing it, and that is because he believes that
the Pentagon is leaking to the media and they want
to make sure that classified information isn't going out. But

(01:30:13):
he's doing he's going about it the wrong way. Unfortunately,
it's a necessary evil that they just got to tighten
up the ship. That's what he's gotta do. He's got
to say, listen, if there are people who are leaking,
they've got to be held responsible. But it's not something
that you can control because people are going to do it.
And if there and again we also have to consider

(01:30:33):
pet Pete. Hegseth and his office is gonna have to
consider this. It's the most important thing. No matter what
his leadership is, there are going to be people who
are not living up to the UH, to the to
the program that Donald Trump is set, or to Pete
hegseth is set. So you gotta let that process work

(01:30:54):
its way out where if somebody is not doing the
thing or the agenda of the administration, that a whisper
blower can go to the news media if they feel
they're not being listened to or they fear retribution. So
it's just something, it's a necessary evil, and he can't
demand that we put the plug on it. He's just
gonna have to tighten up the ship. That's his job.

Speaker 7 (01:31:15):
Yeah, yeah, he's going after the wrong people. He's got
to go after the people in his organization.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Yep, that he thinks are doing wrong exactly. And when
they do, he's got to make sure that there is
a process of holding that person accountable. You know, if
they are leaking classified documents, there can't be this five
to six year process of getting that person, you know,
held accountable. This has got to be a zero tolerance

(01:31:41):
you know ship that says if you're leaking, especially except
for when there's some wrongdoing, but if you are leaking,
and it is criminal that you will be made to
pay a price. And if you don't want to do
this job, you should get out. But unfortunately it happens,
and he's just gonna have to deal with it. If
he's trying to avoid something thing that happens in every administration,

(01:32:02):
doing it this way is not the answer.

Speaker 7 (01:32:05):
Yes, it's such a bad look.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
It is, like I said, it's a self own on
Hegsef's part, that you know, and again for you know,
Donald Trump sees him as a smart guy. But this
wasn't a smart move. This just wasn't. And I love
the fact that everyone, every person who's pushed back on it.
I'll tell you this, this is interesting part Tom, which
I thought was funny.

Speaker 7 (01:32:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
So, anytime that is it's an exaggerated point, the news
media will say conservatives jumped on this. Such and such
right or conservative media you know, responds to this comment.
My favorite part about this story was Fox News admonishes
Pete Hegseth, which now says that Fox News gives it

(01:32:50):
credibility because it's one of their own, which I never
seem to understand. Usually it's conservatism pounces on it, and
it's illegitimate. But now that Fox is agreeing with the
liberal media, it's like even Fox News says it's wrong.
So I thought it was funny.

Speaker 7 (01:33:05):
I heard it was only like one news organization that
has agreed to it. Everyone else has said no.

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
And listen, and they're one hundred percent right. Like I said,
it's just something. It's a necessary evil. People are going
to do it. He just needs to run a tight
ship and he can't have it. Give me on this one.
So thank you, Tom. I appreciate a good question. By
the way. Uh yeah, because I'm meant to address that,
and I'm glad he asked. Let's take another break and
get some weather and traffic. Mark Christopher, he is in

(01:33:32):
the bp S traffic center. How you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
But stay locked in.

Speaker 3 (01:33:36):
Race on the radio is on w T I see, Hey,
we're back.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
It's Reese on the radio. Don't forget to check out
Reese on the radio dot com. That's r E E
S E on the radio dot com. You can check
out my substack there. The show a whole bunch of
other stuff. We got some pictures from the election night
event was an election nine I think Wednesday before election,
a day after election that's right. That event has some

(01:34:04):
photos of some folks out there as well. I want
to definitely give a shout out to the good folks
over at X. You guys have been promoting the show
for me, the People's Lobby. I want to give them
a shout out to let them know that I appreciate them,

(01:34:26):
and of course Mark and West Hartford, Connecticut, Gop everybody
else that just shares the show because you can watch
it on X Now, which we do every day. So
I want to give them a shout out and thank
you guys for showing the show some love out there
and those who do listen and watch on X What
else is there? I don't think there's anything else when

(01:34:46):
we come back. Okay, Nancy Pelosi, I gotta talk about that.
Got Hollywood News as well. You don't want to miss
the Nancy Pelosi thing, And I think I'll go into
that first, the Nancy Pelosi thing, because I I don't
even know how to describe it, but I don't think
we've ever seen Nancy Pelosi like I'm about to show you.

(01:35:09):
But who I'd really love to get a shit and
give a shout out to is the reporter Alison. You
have to see this video just for Alison Steinberg because
what happens after the end of what Nancy Pelosi does,
which is so it's not even I don't know if
it's out of character. Yeah, I would have to say

(01:35:31):
that it's somewhat out of character what Nancy Pelosi did,
but it really did. It showed me something about her.
And when someone has when something is eating at somebody
and you poke at it that thing, they react in

(01:35:51):
a way you know who they you know who they are.
They say something like you say, they say something to
you and it's always been eating at you and you
just immediately like because you can't avoid it, because it's
just it's a real thorn in your side. Well, this reporter,
Alison Steinberg from Lyndell TV for those of you who

(01:36:12):
don't know what Lindell TV is. That's the what's his name,
Mike Lindell, Is that his name? The MyPillow guy. Yeah,
he's got his own I guess I think, got his
own networks, own news network, and he's got reporters and everything,
and he uh, he sent this reporter out there to
go talk to Nancy Pelosi and it's not good. So
we'll play it on the other side of the break. Also,

(01:36:36):
we'll talk a little bit more about the New Kings
protests and what they expect to do in this protest
on Saturday, and then I want to talk about these trends.
This was something interesting that had to do with the
story of Mimi Torres and it was about custody because

(01:36:57):
the dad did not have custody of Mimi. And I
did some background on the last thirty years of custody
battles moms versus dads and the numbers they got better,
but you guys decide if they got really good or

(01:37:20):
just par stand by for that. Also coming up in
the show, let's get another check of whether in traffic
mark Christopher he's in a BPS traffic center.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
How are we doing so the NAACP calls him, WHOA.

Speaker 1 (01:37:34):
I don't think it's Reese on the radio. Let's just
say some people are not fans a news Talk ten
eighty WT.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
I see, now imagine the facts as they have been
laid out so far. What we know for certain. It
cannot be denied because we see, we've seen the documents.
They're accessible to the public. They have been declassified. Even

(01:38:06):
if they were it doesn't matter. You can see them
and I can see them. And if those documents read
that Nancy Pelosi refused the National Guard at the Capitol
days before January sixth, it is safe to say that

(01:38:31):
that woman is responsible for them not being there. And
we know this because one of her staffers.

Speaker 5 (01:38:43):
Was on.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
Chris Cuomo show and said that we are always prepared
for January sixth. On January fourth, she even says on
Cuomo's show, I guess I could say this now. We're
always prepared on January fourth for January sixth, when we

(01:39:07):
go to certify the election. We know that Nancy Pelosi
rejected it. We have Nancy Pelosi on tape saying it
was her fault. She should have known better. We have
her voice, and she was in videotaped by some outfit,

(01:39:29):
be it CNN, MSNBC or Fox. It was her own
daughter who filmed her saying it and kept it from
the American people until after the January sixth hearings. You know,
the big ABC produced nonsense that we were put through.

(01:39:50):
And the fact that Donald Trump has made it clear,
and the fact that the evidence has made it clear,
you can imagine that if none of what I just said,
was It's true. Nancy Pelosi would have never responded like
she did when she was asked about it, and she
had been asked in the past. But listen to her today,

(01:40:15):
as Alison Steinberg of Lindell TV.

Speaker 16 (01:40:19):
Congress Aran Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the
new January sixth committee will find you liable for that?

Speaker 7 (01:40:25):
But I am radio.

Speaker 16 (01:40:26):
Are you at all concerned about the new January sixth committee.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse
the National Guard on January sixth? Shut up?

Speaker 17 (01:40:37):
I did not refuse the national Guard.

Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
The President didn't send it. Why are you coming here
with Republican talking points as if you're as serious journal.

Speaker 16 (01:40:45):
The American people want to know, we still have questions.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
Thank you, And look at that smile. You can't say
this if you're listening on the radio. But you gotta
watch the video just in case, just in case you
want to see it. That's our Alison Steinberg. The smile
on her face is beaming. She almost got lipstick on
her ear lobes because she knew she got the peace.

(01:41:09):
She knew she got her to crack. Nancy Pelosi is
angered by that because the President didn't send him, and
she knows that's a lie. President can't send a damn thing.
Not in that case, he sends out the request. Hey,
I need you to sign off on this, Miriam Bowser,
Miriam Bowser, Hey, Nancy Pelosi, I'd like to make the

(01:41:31):
national Guard available. They all refused.

Speaker 16 (01:41:33):
Congress on Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the
new January sixth committee will find you liable for that?
But I am rad Are you at all concerned about
the new January sixth committee finding you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
Liable for that day? Why did you refuse the national Guard? Now,
remember all of the other questions, nothing, not a thing.
Why did you refuse the national Guard instead of just
coming back and send it? What she tells her to me,
shut up on January sixth?

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:42:04):
I did not refuse the national Guard. The President didn't
send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking
points as if you're a serious journal.

Speaker 16 (01:42:11):
The American people want to know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
We still have questions.

Speaker 10 (01:42:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
Oh it's beautiful when you got him, especially when it
would she again, I'm stunned that she responded in that way. Now,
I know a lot of people instid of taking well
what do you expect her to say? Nancy Pelosi, what
do you mean? What do I expect her to say?
I expected her to be poised. That question shouldn't have
rattled her. She's been asked that before. People have made

(01:42:43):
that suggestion. She's been asked on MSNBC, CNN. Why would
it make her angry that this person had asked her?
She just turned around. She had ignored her every other time,
but that particular thing to her. Shut up. Ooh, elected official. Huh,
that's just weird. Anyway, Let's go to the phones eight

(01:43:04):
six zero five to two. WTIC what's up, Fulton?

Speaker 12 (01:43:08):
What's up? Fuddy?

Speaker 8 (01:43:08):
I want to talk about the newscast about Connecticut, like
the kids. So we have a seventeen year old killing
a seventh year old in Milford, right, yep. Then we
have the mob killing the baby, and then we have
a thirteen year old killing a fifteen year old. Yep,
that got gone two years before. So an eleven year
old had a gun and New Haven just Felker don't
want to talk about.

Speaker 7 (01:43:25):
That, right, he doesn't want to, right.

Speaker 8 (01:43:28):
I mean, he was on the blood of the people
that got killed on the main street in the pizza party,
right right, so like where yeah, we're the parents, like this.

Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
Is a trophy.

Speaker 2 (01:43:37):
Listen, I'm gonna tell you this. As I was thinking
about all of these stories, Fulton, do you know what
I the first thing that came to my mind. And
this is gonna be bizarre. When I was living in Washington,
when I was living in New York City, I lived
near Washington Square Park in Judson Hall, UH with my
first wife. And I remember a friend of mine that

(01:43:58):
I met who he was in age student. One guy
was from Spain, another one was from Brazil, and I
remember him telling me the story about if I ever
visited Brazil, yeah, right, like I would go. He said,
if you ever go to Brazil and you're in a
tourist attraction, if you see young children, don't don't you know,

(01:44:19):
mind your pockets if you see a bunch of kids
around you. And I looked at him and I went,
I said twelve year olds. He said, oh, yeah, absolutely,
He said, if you see a bunch of kids, especially
if they're just walking around like in mobs, he goes,
just guard everything, make sure your jewelry's not showing. Keep
you don't put your wallet in your back pocket. Instead
and even that, get as far away from them, but

(01:44:40):
you can, because they will try to stab you withever
they've got to rob you. And I said twelve year
olds and he was like, yes, twelve year olds. And
I think that's where we are today. I think that
the gloves have come off of dealing with these kids
in these communities. You know that Craig Fishbne just had

(01:45:00):
a great exchange with one of these women who advocated
for fourteen year olds to not be put in handcuffs
if they're arrested. Yeah, exactly, so they again we get
we have people advocating for these kids not to be
put in handcuffs. It is not the wild Wild West.
This is Brazil at this point because they refuse to

(01:45:23):
just acknowledge that these kids are becoming as far as
criminal element is concerned, they are getting younger and younger,
and as they get younger, they are more brazen.

Speaker 8 (01:45:36):
But where are the parents, Like, like, why are they
not accountable for anything?

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
Savages? Yeah, I'm sorry, I want to say I want
to hear somebody say that it is politically incorrect to
called the parents of some savage eleven year old with
a gun who just shot another kid. Yeah, how am
I not calling them an animals? Like that's unfortunately, that's
child's that's God's children. Yes, and when that kid ends

(01:46:01):
up dead, he's going straight to hell because God wants
nothing to do with him.

Speaker 8 (01:46:05):
Like a thirteen year old kill the fifth year old.
I want to ask, like anybody that advocates for you know,
no put him in anker?

Speaker 7 (01:46:10):
How long would that thirty year old do? Now?

Speaker 12 (01:46:13):
Like?

Speaker 8 (01:46:13):
How long is y'ell?

Speaker 2 (01:46:14):
Like? Oh, you know these bozos will do anything in everything?

Speaker 8 (01:46:19):
Three years, years, twenty years like that.

Speaker 2 (01:46:22):
What do you think he'll do juve? He'll do juvi
in some ridiculous facility and he'll get him out as
soon as possible so they can be back with the
rest of his savages and go back to doing the
same thing over and over again. What's that?

Speaker 6 (01:46:37):
When?

Speaker 7 (01:46:37):
When does when does he?

Speaker 9 (01:46:39):
Did he get out?

Speaker 6 (01:46:40):
When do you think.

Speaker 2 (01:46:42):
I think it gets out in to be honest with you,
not any sentence. What as they said, four years and
two months, I think it gets I think he gets
out in three I think I think it'll be you
think he'll be out in July?

Speaker 8 (01:46:56):
No, No, I'll tell you why. First time offender does
half his time, right that automatic take half a seconds away,
and then drug related crime in New York. He qualified
for the five hundred hour programs. That's another year off.
That's three years off his seconds right here. I guarantee
he's out in July.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
Okay, I'm gonna hold you to that, Fulton. I'm gonna
hold you to that July next year.

Speaker 8 (01:47:22):
Look look up the Connecticut discretion with the rules. He's
the first time offender, so that automatically or your time.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Yeah, this is New York because that's where Yeah, that's
what he's doing. Is his time is in New York.
So and it is Alvin Brad. He already has a year,
he has a year in. Yeah, you know what I'm
gonna I.

Speaker 8 (01:47:44):
Am good luck, good luck.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Yeah, you might be right about that one. Thanks, buddy,
I appreciate you. Not gonna now gonna look that up now,
definitely gonna look that up. What's up? Fred? Hey?

Speaker 5 (01:47:56):
I think Fulton's on to something.

Speaker 2 (01:47:58):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:47:59):
And my understanding is they only did that to slap
him down.

Speaker 5 (01:48:02):
Anyway.

Speaker 13 (01:48:02):
I think I said it before. She thought he was
bigger than he was. He thought what's his name was
his asset?

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:48:07):
No, no, no, but.

Speaker 19 (01:48:10):
Regarding Nancy. The accidom that comes to mind is he
who angers you conquers you. That phrased that question just
right and got it in as a one inch punch.
There were so few words in that, you know, what
do you say that you're gonna be indicted for the day?
You know?

Speaker 7 (01:48:25):
And she like just got it in.

Speaker 5 (01:48:27):
What Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:48:28):
And see that was that was a takedown.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
Yeah, it's don't you find it interesting that you reacted
in such a like, you know, angered way to tell
the woman shut up and point in her face nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:48:41):
She's getting another bit older.

Speaker 8 (01:48:43):
And they're not used to challenge, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:46):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 18 (01:48:49):
And I want to refer back to caller Sam a
wild Ago Okay, I think he was going from the
specific to the general when he said, once you say homeschooling, DCF,
you know, can't do anything. They turned and walked away.
I think dcs and kick your door down when you're
homeschooling if they want to. They just didn't want to

(01:49:11):
bother that I have that some trick was talking about
it Shan and Joy in New York State. It's it's
the same as school like kids can report, you know,
liquor in their parents' cabinets and get you know, if
your parents are using drugs, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:49:26):
This school wants your kids.

Speaker 18 (01:49:28):
To snitch you out, that kind of thing.

Speaker 7 (01:49:30):
That all that.

Speaker 5 (01:49:31):
Same paradigm applies when you're homeschooling.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
It's just well, let me let me read this, and
it says withdrawal notification records right on the district level.
It says parents must notify the local school district of
a child's withdrawal from public school using a standard form.
And they say the specified reason is because I guess
they have what's called an equivalent instruction protocol. This is

(01:49:54):
required under Connecticut General Statue tenour to comply with compulse
compulsory attendance laws, but no prior approval, supported documents, or
proof of instruction is needed. The form is typically submitted
within two weeks of the withdrawal. Now this is true.
In fact, they say that there's no record keeping after

(01:50:16):
the kid is taken out of public school, like there's
no way to there's no way for anyone to secure
that the child is still being homeschooled.

Speaker 7 (01:50:27):
That's only when you're not really homeschooled.

Speaker 18 (01:50:29):
Real homeschoolers have.

Speaker 19 (01:50:30):
To jump through mad Oh yeah, that's just about they
don't care.

Speaker 13 (01:50:34):
DF stands for dead child facilitators. They are kidnappers.

Speaker 2 (01:50:42):
Yeah you no, no, no, you were one hundred You use
the word correctly. The fact that again, and the part
that baffles me about the about the MEMI story is
when I heard last night that the grandparents had the
child from birth until seven years old. And you hear
these people screaming and hollering about the only home that

(01:51:04):
they've known. This girl gets dragged out from the time
she was a baby to seven years old. They send
her back to the mother and dc f's the reason why.
And I'm going, what what could have compelled them to say,
let's take them out of a home and take the
child out of a home in Florida and bring them
to this individual.

Speaker 18 (01:51:24):
DCF is evil.

Speaker 13 (01:51:25):
They're part of the machine. Um, yeah, let me close.
You leave you with a book to respond and some
guy who got like affed over that way. And there's
a thing called churning where they just like take every
penny you've got, They'll put the kid with the abusive parents.

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
Yeah, make you.

Speaker 13 (01:51:43):
Hire a lawyer, pretty kid, And let me close.

Speaker 11 (01:51:45):
With a nickname for you, Lese Refe.

Speaker 13 (01:51:48):
The lion hearted.

Speaker 2 (01:51:50):
Thank you, thank you man. Uh yeah again, I don't
get it. I don't get it, but I looked at this.
When we come back, I'll talk about this in a
five o'clock hour. The levels, the numbers have gone up
for fathers when it comes to custody cases. But I
gotta beg the question is it enough? And this percentage is?

(01:52:13):
And Maddie Oh is in the chat room. Maddie, you
got the number right, Yeah, you got the number right.
We'll talk about that in a little bit and of
course we'll come back with some Hollywood news and some
other stuff, and then we'll wrap this puppy up. I'm
thinking about this, Roland, let me ask you this before
we go to break. So I usually do interviews at

(01:52:35):
about four o'clock. But I was thinking, most people get
into their car to go home at five. Do you
think that's too late to do interviews or do you
think we're good at four? We're good at four? You think?

Speaker 20 (01:52:47):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
Okay? Good? It was something that was on my mind,
so I figured I just, you know, I thinkured I
just spout off about it and just wonder that's just
because all right, we'll take another break. Let's get some
weather and traffic, see how the roads are doing out
there with Mark Christopher and the BPS traffic center. Hey Bud,
all right, ree, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
Well the hour the bags out punch, It's Reese on
the radio on w T I see news talk.

Speaker 2 (01:53:15):
All right, one more hour to go and uh gosh,
just they kind of went by fast. Let's see if
we can do some Hollywood news.

Speaker 21 (01:53:27):
With your correspondents on the radio. All the glitt's and
all the glamor. It's Hollywood news.

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
Hey. So I wouldn't ever go to see any of
these movies, but I will tell you I'm actually kind
of interested in seeing the trailers.

Speaker 22 (01:53:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
When I used to write for a magazine called Next Level,
I was the editor in chief of a magazine. I
just got a hip hop and pop culture magazine called
Next Level. We used to do this little piece in
there that I used to do, and I called it
trailer park. And what I would do is I would
give you my review of the movie just by watching
the trailer. That was because my favorite thing. I actually

(01:54:14):
still do it today. I actually go online on YouTube
and they'll do like the action films coming out in
twenty twenty five, and is like a whole, like, you know,
a bunch of them, and I'll sit there and watch it.
Rosanna walk in and go, what are you watching? I'm
like movie trailers just like you do that. I'm like, yeah,
I love that. So these three movies, I just want
to see what the trailers look like. I don't think

(01:54:34):
i'll ever go see it because they're clearly not made
for me, but I'm interested in finding out what Roland
thinks of any of these. So one movie, one actual
character from television is going to get its own movie.
Three of them is going to get their own movies.
Let's try this one on for size. Thomas the Train

(01:54:55):
is getting his own movie called Thomas and Friends. Thomason Friend,
Let's go? Is that okay? So that is that one
that your daughter watched? Because I kind of feel like
these are out of sighting him watch a lot of that,
but she watched that. Sometimes I kind of feel like
that that that cartoon or whatever it was, that animation
was sort of it's out of cycle now. So it

(01:55:15):
finally getting a movie and it's not gonna probably be
until twenty twenty seven. I kind of feel like it's late. Hello,
Kitty is getting its own Yeah, now, I know that's
gonna go crazy. There's a lot of grown folks who
love hell Hello kitty, so she's getting her on. I
don't even know if it's a sheet. Nobody seems to
know what sex the kitty is. Whatever. And last, but
not least, I don't know how this didn't come out sooner,

(01:55:38):
but the Purple Dinosaurs getting his own movie. Oh that's right,
a little bit of I Love You, You Love Me.
Barney is getting his own movie. Final did he have
like a I thought he had like a couple of
DVD films. Oh, yeah, that's what it was. I don't
think he had a feature film. So it's about time

(01:55:58):
that Barney gets its own. So when we come back
after weather in Traffic, I have the greatest story to
tell about my my son Caleb and him his love
of Barney back in nineteen ninety four, and it's such
a heart warming story. It took me almost thirty years

(01:56:19):
to find a video because nobody believed that it happened.
Let's get to Mark Christopher. He's in a BPS traffic center. Hey, Mark,
I like the Barney with Abe. That's right. When a
vagoda Apracota is still one of my favorite people in
the world.

Speaker 17 (01:56:31):
Oh my god, he was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
You know who kept Abevagoda alive longer than ever The
Beastie Boys. They loved every song after the first album,
Licensed to Ill. They talked about Abevagoda all the time.
And I love the reference to Abragoda because he was
so he was fish. He was fish, that face, all

(01:56:55):
of it. Still love that guy.

Speaker 17 (01:56:56):
Barney Miller baby seventies, big seventies.

Speaker 1 (01:56:59):
He reese on the radio on news.

Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
I see, can we show some Hakeem Jefferies love today.
I think he's found a new strategy against MAGA, but
we also need a common sense partner on the other
side of the aisle house. Republicans shut the government down.

Speaker 22 (01:57:26):
Then they ran out of town and for the last
three weeks they're nowhere.

Speaker 17 (01:57:31):
To be found.

Speaker 2 (01:57:33):
And I stay, I stand here looking like a clown.
It's the worst you can always get me with a rhyme.
It's so bad. He's just an awful person. He just
is wus he wasn't just so corny. I just wish
he wasn't just so corny. He's out of his element.

(01:57:57):
You know, he reminds me. He said, you know he
keeps telling people I'm from Brooklyn, but he I gotta
be honest, I really do believe this. I think that
Haakim Jeffries is struggling. He's struggling to be a poised
individual because I kind of feel like there is something
he'd rather be doing or behaving like instead of what

(01:58:22):
they make him do. And I think that's what all
of the hand gestures are, is that he truly speaks
like a kid from Brooklyn, and they're telling him that
it doesn't fly because he looks like he's about to
drop a hot sixteen when he moves, so he's got
to distract himself by moving the hands. I really do.

(01:58:43):
I'm just saying, I don't know what's wrong with that guy.
I just don't. Someone sent me a text asking about
polling data. That's right. I did say that I was
going to get some polling data, and this is important
polling data. Always get it at the beginning of the week.
This time he got in the middle of the week.
Harry Anton wasn't in Monday or Tuesday, but I'm glad

(01:59:06):
he was in because I wanted to get to this
with everyone screaming and hollering about Donald Trump's polling numbers.
Donald Trump is not on the ballot come November next year.
Now I know a lot of people think that he is.
Now every individual in every individual seat is on the ballot,

(01:59:33):
and this is a hard way to go for Democrats.
Their polling data is awful and Harry Enton is expressing
it now. Laurie always says in the chat room, she's
our research aficionado. In the chat room, she says it
every time I play Harry Enton. Why do they still

(01:59:56):
allow him to be on the air and see and
then it can't be good for them. This is where
they kind of do a random act of journalism. That's
why he's only there maybe once or twice a week.
So listen closely Democrats' chances in the midterm as they
stand today. What Harryington did was take the momentum or
what the momentum looked like in twenty seventeen from April

(02:00:20):
of that year until October. He then does it again
for April of this year until now here's what he found.

Speaker 20 (02:00:29):
You go back to April, k Paul, when what were
we looking at, Well, we were looking at the Democrats
with a very clear shot of taking control of the
US House of Representatives according to the Country Prediction Market odds.
We saw him in an eighty three percent chance. But
those odds have gone plummeting down. Now we're talking about
just a sixty three percent chance, while the gopiece chances
up like a rocket up like gold, up from seventeen

(02:00:52):
percent to now a thirty seven percent chance. So we'll
look like a pretty clear Democrat likely Democratic winning the
House come next year has become much closer to toss
up at this point, although still slightly leading Democrat.

Speaker 2 (02:01:04):
Now this particular number is different than the numbers he's
about to give next because again those have the two
different years twenty seventeen till October twenty seventeen April till October.
But these numbers that he gives are very very interesting.
These are incredibly interesting. So I want you to listen
to this again. I'll break it down in a second.

Speaker 20 (02:01:23):
Hold on, you go back to April, k Paul, when
what were we looking at, Well, we were looking at
the Democrats with a very clear shot of taking control
of the US House of Representatives according to the Council
Prediction Market odds.

Speaker 2 (02:01:34):
We saw now he's talking about April of this year
for Democrats, they were at eighty three percent. We're talking
a couple of months into the Trump administration. Democrats chances
of winning the House in twenty twenty six very very early,
and many of you on the left were screaming in
the holler, and it's like, look look at them. Democrats
are overwhelmingly favorable. And then with all of that, they

(02:01:56):
did everything right, What did we see? We saw no king,
We saw Tesla Tesla attacks. We saw protests every excuse me,
every other weekend. We saw what ice, you know, attacks,
We saw everything we thought, everything attacked, everything attacked. As

(02:02:17):
far as it relates to Trump, we of course have
the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and of course we have
political violence in other places in other ways. Their numbers
today stand a sixty three percent from eighty three percent.
They're down. On the other hand, Republicans were at seventeen

(02:02:39):
percent at the same time in April and they went
up twenty points. How did that? How could that possibly happen?
But it has And you would suggest, or at least
I would, what of all these protests and nonsense going on?

(02:02:59):
If Democrat numbers are only going down, that is the
wrong direction for everything that you're doing. You heard Chris Murphy.
Why this is important?

Speaker 14 (02:03:11):
So just blocks from here in Washington, DC, on October eighteenth,
there will be the big national note Kings protest, But
there's a protest in your town or in your state too.
You can go to nokings dot org and find out
where the closest event is to you.

Speaker 2 (02:03:25):
This is important.

Speaker 14 (02:03:26):
Donald Trump is trying to destroy the rule of law,
trying to destroy our democracy, trying to stop you from
being able to speak freely.

Speaker 2 (02:03:33):
But he can't win if we mobilize. He can't win
if we mobilize, and their numbers tanking, doing the same
thing over and over again, numbers still tanking. So now
the momentum from twenty seventeen this time till today, what's changed?

Speaker 1 (02:03:51):
What do you think? Okay, what has changed?

Speaker 20 (02:03:53):
Well, why don't we just take a look at the
national picture first, take a look at voters and how
they're feeling about things. And we can take a look
at the Generican regressional ballot. And I want to take
a look and compare it to twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, right,
because that's sort of the baseline that was of course
the first Trump term, that was where Democrats were sort
of keeping pace.

Speaker 2 (02:04:09):
You go back to April.

Speaker 20 (02:04:10):
Look at the generic congressional ballot.

Speaker 2 (02:04:12):
What you see.

Speaker 20 (02:04:12):
You see plus three Democrats in twenty twenty five. In April,
you see plus three Democrats back in April of twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (02:04:19):
Now, if the numbers confuse you in having to hear them,
you need them explained twenty seventeen, twenty twenty five. In April,
Democrats plus three starting at the same place in twenty
twenty five they did in twenty seventeen plus three. Now
fast forward to twenty seventeen, in October, April to October,

(02:04:43):
same two years, twenty seventeen to twenty twenty five.

Speaker 20 (02:04:46):
Here's harri Jin. Now jump over to this side of
the screen. What happens, Well, the Democrats are no longer
keeping pace with the pace that they were setting back
in twenty seventeen twenty eighteen. You look back in twenty seventeen,
you saw that the Democrats had leaped up to an
eight point advantage.

Speaker 2 (02:05:02):
Now what is he saying twenty seventeen they started at April,
in April at eight, I mean at three, and by
October they shot up five points to an eight. That
is momentum building. And why was that happening? In twenty
seventeen for Democrats? You had all of the Russian collusion nonsense.
Everything about the Trump administration was in a disarray, that

(02:05:24):
the Republicans didn't trust him, that Democrats were hammering him,
they made sure that they were going to impeach him.
Everything was like hair on fire, and sure enough, it
was resonating with the American people, which again we saw
that three point advantage in April of twenty seventeen. By
the time October rolled around, skyrocketed to eight five points
four months five points. Okay, what's happening in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 20 (02:05:47):
Remember covering this. I remember a lot of folks, including myself, saying,
you know what, Republicans look pretty decent right now in
terms of the fact that they had the House, they
had the Senate, they had the presidency. But things were
likely going to flip. And I was looking for the
same sign this year. The bottom line is, it hasn't happened,
Cape Paul. When it hasn't happened, Democrats have stayed basically
study they have fallen off the pace.

Speaker 2 (02:06:07):
Democrats were way out ahead.

Speaker 20 (02:06:10):
Back in twenty seventeen on the generic congressional ballot, and
now we're basically looking at Democrats ahead. But again they
are so far in back of the pace that they
set back there. And so I think what a lot
of folks are seeing. Folks like myself are saying, wait
a minute, given what we might be seeing and redistricting,
is this plus three going to be in a cape fault?

Speaker 2 (02:06:28):
When so in April of twenty twenty five point three
in October point three, no change with everything I just described,
no changes, no advantage. Why And again, as I as

(02:06:52):
I looked it up, what is what are the kings?
No kings protest about? Defending democracy against the poritarianism that
was twenty twenty four, rejecting kings and tyranny. It's just
symbolic just to declare that America has no kings, amplifying

(02:07:13):
marginalized voices. What else is new there? And that's what
you've always did, It's what you've been doing since the
Obama administration, building sustained resistance to what you have no
power to do anything right now. The government is closed
because the Republicans won't negotiate with me, with you, with me,
with us, and guess what, it's a free for all.

(02:07:37):
It's a damn free for all. Inside Washington. They're cutting stuff,
they're spending money. Government seems to be just trotting along.
You guys are just staging sit ins or stand ins
while Jaquim Jeffreys is spitting a hot sixteen organizers emphasize

(02:07:59):
a clear and unmistakable message where a nation of equals,
drawing on inspiration from figures like doctor Martin Luther King
Junior to foster hope and adjust society, that we're all equals.
You're not preaching that message. Your folks are preaching that
Republicans or maga folks are beneath you. None of this

(02:08:22):
stuff is gonna work. It isn't working, and you're going
back to we're holding another No King's rally. I thought,
and I looked at this as I did, say, wait
a minute, what did the last No Kings rally do?
According to reports, it was one of the largest events
in history as far as protests were concerned. And now

(02:08:45):
you run the risk of fewer people showing up, and
you think that this is going to resonate, this is good.
I don't think so. I really don't I don't know.
Maybe you know, I could be wrong. I'm going to

(02:09:05):
watch it. I I'm telling you, I wish I was there.
I need to commission people. I just wish. I mean,
I don't want to put anybody out there. I would
do it myself if I was there. Oh, I wish
it was happening when I was there. Hopefully I'm lucky
enough to they'll throw another one. Maybe this one will

(02:09:26):
be so successful, they'll do it again when I get there,
and then I'll be out there just asking questions and
I won't antagonize. I'll just hey, why are you here?
Just let them go on about their business. I don't know.
I just I'm baffled. But yeah, I don't I don't
think it looks good guys. I don't well, I don't

(02:09:49):
think you guys have an idea anyway. I don't think
you guys know what to do. Climate change isn't working
for you. Nobody cares about that anymore. The trans issue
that you guys are just made to look silly every
time you bring that up. You can't go to men
and women's sports. That's got no legs anymore. I mean,

(02:10:11):
even Democrats have rejected that. I mean, if you really
think about it, the only enthusiastic thing you got going
on is uh the Zorra. That's kind of that's it.
I don't know who else you got. Is there somebody
that's Gavin Newsom still the guy? Oh, Gordon Gecko?

Speaker 5 (02:10:35):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (02:10:35):
Is he still the dude that I hope it is?
Maybe it's JB. No, it's not him. Am I kidding?
I know it's not him. Anyway, When we come back
and we wrap all of this up, Katie Porter doing
damage control. Plus we'll get to your phone calls as well.

(02:10:58):
As we wrap this up, We'll get some more details
tomorrow about Mimi's death and if there's been any other
reporting that will get us to the bottom of this.
I am actually working. I don't know if I'm gonna
get this, but I'm trying. I don't want to promise anything,
but I am going to try to get a hold

(02:11:20):
of Mimi's biological father on to see if he'll do
an interview. I doubt that he will, but I'm still
going to try to get to the bottom of that,
So stand by for that. I will give you any
details that I have tomorrow after I try today. All Right,
Your phone call's coming up, and we'll wrap this show

(02:11:40):
up as well when we return. Let's get tomorrow Christopher,
he's in the BPS Traffick Center.

Speaker 3 (02:11:45):
Hey, sir, the Odyssey app. Let's you jump back to
the moments you missed from WTIC News Talk ten eighty.
Download the free Odyssey app search WTIC news Talk ten
eighty and tap earlier today to get started.

Speaker 2 (02:11:57):
Yeah, and what had happened was today We opened this
show talking about the child Mimi Torres. Of course, at
the hands of her mother and her mother's sister or
aunt for that matter, and boyfriend. She lost her life
and all of the details that have come out so
far as it relates to the grandparents who raised Mimi

(02:12:19):
from the birth till seven years old and was taken
out of their hands by DCF. We broke all of
that down, and we also talked about the ninety eight
thousand school children chronically absent in the state of Connecticut
because people have been reporting that Mimi was homeschooled, even
though there doesn't appear to be any records of this
to back it up. One of the things I wanted

(02:12:40):
to bring attention to was as it relates to that
part of the story where Mimi was in the care
of her grandparents from the time of her birth until
seven years old in DCF then took her from them
and sent her with her mother. So I was looking
at this and the father is in the picture, and

(02:13:01):
every time he tried to see his daughter, he get
told that she didn't want to talk to him and
all this other stuff. And I argued that, you know,
when did we become these this sort of this behavior
of eleven year old kid says that I won't see
you when you just kind of took that as okay.
I just found it out. Maybe there were other circumstances.
I don't know, but I want to read this as

(02:13:22):
it pertains to fathers. So I looked this up to
find out what was the custody rate for thirty years,
for the past thirty years, what the custody rate between
mothers and fathers were, and the period between nineteen ninety
four and nineteen ninety five, the custody rate for fathers

(02:13:45):
as soul custody. For soul custody was sixteen percent, with
mothers getting eighty four percent. In two thousand and eight,
joint custody at thirteen percent, but usually fathers getting soul
custody jumped two percent to eighteen and it went down

(02:14:09):
again between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen to seventeen point five,
and then between twenty two and twenty five it is
at twenty percent, with mothers getting the child at eighty percent.
And it's it goes without saying that there is there's

(02:14:35):
actual fact to back this up, folks, actual facts to
back this up that children fare better with their fathers statistically,
they do. They do.

Speaker 22 (02:14:49):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (02:14:49):
Everybody? You know who it is?

Speaker 1 (02:14:50):
Who is?

Speaker 3 (02:14:51):
You know who?

Speaker 2 (02:14:52):
It's reas on the radio, Frederick Douglas of the twenty
first century.

Speaker 3 (02:14:57):
It's WTIC News Talk tomorrow's program.

Speaker 2 (02:15:01):
We have got to do an in depth look at
Katanji Brown Jackson and the Supreme Court oral arguments that
are happening today. If you have been checking them out
on X they are astonishing. Just as it relates to
Katanji Brown Jackson and the thing that I find I'm

(02:15:24):
awe struck by, and I know that there are gonna
be some people who just don't understand. They're gonna look
listen to her questions now, and I know who they are.
The usual suspects they will listen to her query in
this case about the Voter's Rights Act, and they will
look at it and they go, I'll see the problem.

(02:15:46):
And I'm gonna have to explain this to them, like
they the fact that they they would look at it
and go, what you do is why I'm going to
have to explain it, because that's how bad it has
gotten with Kanji Brown Jackson, this woman, and it's I

(02:16:07):
gotta tell you this is this is the truth. And
the only reason why I know this. I can't believe
I'm saying this. I shouldn't. I know I shouldn't, but
I have to do it. And I'll talk about it
a little more tomorrow with with evidence. Okay, So the
Supreme Court justices you may have heard recently that Amy

(02:16:27):
Komy Barrett has kind of like been scathing towards Katanji
Brown Jackson. It's that's not even the surface, like it's
not that deep. Even the liberal justices are looking around going,
how in the hell did she get through law school?

(02:16:50):
Soda Mayor is baffled, and she's a wise latina. I mean,
there are people who are saying some god awful stuff
about this and it's really really bad, and it's all legitimate.
It's not like a bunch of people just rasing the

(02:17:11):
dumb girl at school like that. You know, I want
to borrow a statement, a line from John Kennedy, the
senator from Louisiana. I forgot how we put it, but

(02:17:33):
she is giving blonde jokes a run for their money.
This woman is dumb. There's no other way to put it.
In Her colleagues are saying that in so much they're
saying that this is a dumb person who does not
understand the law and makes arguments that are absolutely unreal,

(02:17:55):
and she's arguing with counsel sounding even I mean even
the people like and they're trying to be respectful. If
you listen to some of this audio, it's crazy. The
way that they were fun is like they can't believe
they're walking out there going is she real? If I

(02:18:17):
may Katanji Brown Jackson said something out loud that I
said three years ago as a joke. I had a
logo that I created and I've said this, and those
of you who know the show will listen to it
for years know that I've said it. Is that liberals

(02:18:37):
and the intelligency especially the black intelligencia in this country,
treat black people like they are special needs children. Well,
lo and behold. Katanji Brown Jackson actually made a case
that said that black people are like disabled people who

(02:18:58):
cannot get access to a building. Her mouth, not mine.
I said it as a joke. She really believes that
to be true, that blacks are disabled people. I don't
know what to tell you. And that's why I know
that people are going to read that, and people are

(02:19:20):
gonna read what she said or listen to what she
said and go I don't see the problem here. Craig says.
The Kennedy quote was women like that are why they
put instructions on shampoo bottles. That's a good one too.

(02:19:41):
That's actually pretty bad. That is pretty bad. Let me
go to Ralph. What's going on, Buddy good afternoon?

Speaker 4 (02:19:47):
A couple of things that before A twelve year old
who's killed. Yeah, why please and please explain this to
me because I really have a hard time understanding this.
Why with President Biden and shot a part to a
drug dealer in Connecticut who killed a woman who was

(02:20:07):
going to testify against him and her son and got
a pardon that was okayed by Murphy Bloomenthal and the
other five congressional representatives.

Speaker 5 (02:20:19):
One.

Speaker 2 (02:20:19):
I don't think Biden had anything to do with that.
And you know, you know I talked about that story.
I didn't even know it, but my former boss Joe
Shoen wrote a great piece about her after her passing
and wrote this great piece in the U Haul uh
sort of like monthly Reader because she was a U
haul employee. And he wrote such a beautiful article about

(02:20:40):
her that I found. And Yeah, it was just awful
for them to do that. Talk about an undeserving pardon
for a guy. I mean, what do you have to
do in order to be looked over for a pardon
under that Biden administration? It was insane. Anyway, what else
you got? Real quick?

Speaker 4 (02:20:59):
Well, hope his name up there?

Speaker 6 (02:21:01):
Real quick.

Speaker 4 (02:21:01):
I want you to ask every senator in congressman in
Connecticut where they want to get the money to pay
for detroiton and a half dollars? What taxes they want
to increase to pay for it?

Speaker 2 (02:21:12):
Yeah, I hear you, boss, Thank you, man, I hear you,
thanks boss.

Speaker 5 (02:21:16):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:21:16):
Joe mall Street. What's going on, sir? And by the way,
yesterday you said breaking news as soon as I saw
the report, I just went, why, what do you mean
breaking news? This story's a month old. The news media
is just catching up to the bounty story.

Speaker 5 (02:21:32):
Well, but this came after the boat was blown up
yesterday morning.

Speaker 2 (02:21:36):
Yeah, I know, I mean they kind of it was.

Speaker 5 (02:21:39):
Brand new warning because of that incident.

Speaker 2 (02:21:42):
Yeah, and I checked out the cartel. By the way,
I was, I was looking up the cartel that made
the statement. I'm sitting up here caring like who is
their pr guide, Like, who's their press guy? Did they
really contact the media and say, hey, we'll put a
bounty on on someone. I'm going, Okay, it's they're really weird. Anyway,
what do you got from Well.

Speaker 5 (02:22:01):
I told you how that deal with guys is gonna
fall apart because the the dead aren't gonna be returned.
For whatever reason, we're.

Speaker 2 (02:22:09):
Still getting dead bodies today. What are you talking about.

Speaker 5 (02:22:12):
Well, they substituted a body that wasn't in Israeli.

Speaker 2 (02:22:15):
Yeah, one one body was wrong. Yeah, that wasn't even
an Israeli uh prisoner, that that that they swapped. But
I told I don't understand, why is it nobody believes me?
You guys gotta listen to me. I said this, This
is not that campaign to return dead bodies. That's not
gonna go the way that you removed when you return
live ones. It just isn't. And that's the reason. Look,

(02:22:37):
Hezbolah and Hamas, they put themselves in that pickle, so
they've got to deal with it. You know, you you
kill those hostages while they're in custody, and you leave
them there and forget about them, not like you, you know,
not that these people would ever put a marker on there.
This in the middle of a war. These people do
not have the ability to go back and retrace their
steps to go find the dead hostages. It's never gonna happen.

(02:23:00):
And I don't think that I want to say this.
I don't think that Israel should give them a pass,
but nor should I hold them to a standard that
they're gonna be able to fulfill that request in a
meaningful way. They may be able to recover some, but
I don't think they're gonna recover all.

Speaker 5 (02:23:16):
Well. They'll have to play up and I don't think
they're gonna wait too much longer before something goes.

Speaker 2 (02:23:22):
They're gonna have to make some concessions. And I think
because and I do believe this. If they cannot recover
those bodies, and if Donald Trump sticks to sticks to
his word, which I believe he will, he will definitely
unleash the hounds. So I think they're gonna make another
concession because they can't do it. They're gonna either ask

(02:23:43):
for more time, or they are going to seriously, in
a meaningful way, lay down their arms because I don't
think they want what's coming. Because I think, really Donald
Trump has made it clear, I'm just gonna unleash this
guy Yahoo and then Yahoo. He doesn't want to pay
the flesh. He wants a ton. He wants a ton,

(02:24:04):
and that's.

Speaker 22 (02:24:04):
Why donalds God speaking of Donald Trump, came out this
week in commemoration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of our country.

Speaker 5 (02:24:15):
The US Men announced they're going to come out with
a commemorative silber dollar with Doc Trump is on the head.
You know, the last time they did a dollar commemorative
was Eisenhower. The Ike dollar, was it?

Speaker 2 (02:24:27):
I thought it was I thought it was Kennedy. Oh No,
that was the half.

Speaker 5 (02:24:31):
Dollar and a half dollar. And that's still in. That's
still being you know, that's still in mintage since nineteen
sixty four. Yeah, but the Ike dollar in from seventy
one because Eisenhower died I believe it was sixty late
sixty nine. So they came out in seventy one with
the Ike Dollar and that ran through nineteen seventy eight.
Now you're going to have the Trump Dollar, which is

(02:24:52):
going to start next year at twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (02:24:54):
I think that's going to be cool.

Speaker 5 (02:24:57):
I think, you know, it's going to be very popular.
Just like the Kennedy half dollar. You couldn't get them.
I lived back then when they came out in nineteen
sixty four, people were at the banks, where are they?
Where are they? They're being tossed up by the hundreds,
and they ran, you know, an extra mintage of over
three hundred million into nineteen sixty five with a date
nineteen sixty four because there was such high demand. And

(02:25:19):
I think the same thing will be with the Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:25:21):
It was still popular in the eighties when I was
growing up, man, I remember, I know a lot of
kids that collected them, They got a hold of them,
they kept them. That people loved that coin. This one
will be a collector's item without a doubt.

Speaker 5 (02:25:32):
I guarantee and because of inflation, you know, you know,
twenty dollars bill isn't what it used to be. They're
going to bring back nineteen fifty nine. They stopped the
five hundred dollars bill in one thousand dollars bill. They
used to be used for home closings and you know,
big deals, but money was worth a lot more back
in nineteen fifty nine. Well, they're going to bring back

(02:25:52):
the five hundred and one thousand dollars bill. And the
rumor is Trump's going to probably be on the thousand
dollars bill instead of m Kinley William.

Speaker 2 (02:26:00):
They'll fight, you know what, turning that into a war
that I don't know. That's a fight I don't even
want to have. That seems almost ridiculous, but I hope
they don't do that. That's kind of gonna be silly anyway,
Thank you, Joe. Gotta get up out of here, buddy. Tomorrow,
Like I said, Katanji Brown Jackson will talk about that.
Any other breaking news on the Mimi Torres story, we'll

(02:26:21):
have that for you as well. Tomorrow's thursdation, of course,
will have Negro nonsense and much much more throughout the day.
I didn't get to the matriarchy today because there was
so much stuff to sort of break down as it
goes to this Torras story. I'll do it tomorrow. And
the question is this, and did we go so far

(02:26:46):
to marginalize men, to sort of relinquish our position in
the world, to prop up and to promot women as
leaders that it is hurting children and the direction of

(02:27:07):
this country because I almost feel like in giving women
control in the way that you know, intelligentsia, the academia
and all of that, that the only thing they've been
promoting is the destruction of the family and of the children.

(02:27:28):
What do I mean by that? And I'm telling you
one of the two big things that are on the
agenda for families and children is one to not have
them and two to abort them. And if it's not
those two, it's to introduce what can only be described
as sick, perverted, you know, paraphernalia in the schools. It

(02:27:53):
is insane that in this by saying that, you know,
we're supposed to listen to women and believe women and
let them being charged and all of that stuff, and
the stuff that they're promoting is detrimental to the core
fabric of who we are. And I'm not saying all women,

(02:28:14):
I'm not. I know that there are women out there
who are you know? Do you go? Girls?

Speaker 5 (02:28:19):
You know you know?

Speaker 2 (02:28:20):
More power to you. But I think that everybody has
to come to terms that. Ah, this is so rough
to say. For things to be somewhat traditional is not
the same thing as subjugation. That's not what anyone is
talking about. It's not like the forest extreme of things.

(02:28:46):
People look at June Cleaver like the most deplorable thing. Ever,
She's fictional. There is no June Cleaver, but the idea
of it is not bad either. If a woman wanted
to be Susie homemaker and she loved what she did,

(02:29:07):
providing for her family those things, why does that have
to be maligned? Why do women? You can reject it
women and go your own way, but why does it
have to be rejected for everyone? Just like in the
stupidest thing I read today that this writer who can't
be more than thirty years old, says in the article,
I thought we had decided that this idea of women

(02:29:32):
was rejected. I thought we all decided. We didn't, and
we all didn't decide that Mom stayed home or didn't
stay home and went out in the workforce. We didn't
all decide that it was not a collective. The things
you're talking about, the things that happened in the fifties
and sixties and moved on from the seventies, all of
these things were forced upon us. And if we didn't agree,

(02:29:54):
we were maligned, and we were shouted down, and we
were called all types of names for not going along
to get a There was no consent, got you. People
scream about me too, and you guys like ideologically attack us,
assault us for not agreeing with you. It's never with
our consent. Son of bills test positive for coke confirmed

(02:30:23):
