Speaker 1 (00:23):
Hey, yo, they they should calm down. The show is
about to style Reese on the radio. Turn it up cars,
turning it up low low.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Turn it up lound.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Did that dream come true?

Speaker 4 (00:38):
This game?

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Due to the nature of this program, discretion does not exist.
It's Race on the radio right now on w t
i S News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
We're almost there.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
As the days count on and on and on, I'm
nowhere near ready, folks, but as on and popping. It's
reass on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten to eighty.
What's going on, whndy in the chat room and everybody
else checking out the show. I've actually had to let
a lot of people go, and it's it's coming to

(01:27):
that point where I'm gonna have to do like NBC
DD yesterday, Cord God bless the folks over at NBC.
Can we get down applause? Don't there you go out right?
NBC God of applaud the people over at NBC. But
I think I'm gonna follow suit with those folks. I'm
just gonna start letting people go. There's a report today

(01:50):
that says that NBC has decided to get rid of
seven percent of its news department, seven percent of it.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
But hold on, it gets better, It gets better.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Not only did they drop seven percent of its news department,
it's who they let go, which departments they let go,
and hold on to you, hold on, hold on. I
want everybody to sit down for this one, because you're
gonna ask yourself. Why would they do this? I don't know,

(02:25):
but no one's happier than me. It couldn't have happened
on a better day. It's a Negro nonsense day. On
recent radio, NBC has announced that it began implementing layoffs,
affecting approximately one hundred and fifty employees, as I said,
representing seven percent of its newsroom. What is leaving NBC?

(02:46):
What did they decide to depart with? Let's start with
let's start with the small stuff. NBC is finally getting
rid of NBC Out, which is their LGBTQ division. They
are also getting rid of NBC Asian American. That's right,

(03:08):
they're Asian American and Pacific Islander division at NBC. They
are also getting rid of NBC Latino that's right for
the Latino communities.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
And last, but not least.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
In true negro nonsense fashion, NBC black is out of
here TOOBE, which, by the way, every other organization NBC
out was LGBTQ, NBC Asian American spelled out, NBC Latino
spelled out. But what was NBC black? It was NBC

(03:47):
BLK actually used BLK. They just used the letters. It
wasn't even black, it was BLK. Hey, I guess would
say Roseannes for BLM. Too many letters? Asian American wasn't
too many letters. They couldn't even spend the money on

(04:10):
the entire word Asian. That's job, not repeating that get
out of here woman anyway. Uh yeah, they're going to
be doing that. So I thought that was interesting. But
when I say, I gotta let start letting some people go,
some people know, just rude. They're just rude, and for
no reason to be rude. No not you get out

(04:31):
of here, no reason at all, just rude. And so
I'm just, you know, I'm just I'm not gonna indulge them.
I'm done with being incredibly nice to people who are
just not nice people. And I get it. I'll pray
for them, I'll pray for them. Hey, you know, carry on,

(04:54):
have a good day. But I am just not doing that.
Nonsense anymore. That's that's just a rabbit. Now let's get
to the important stuff. I need someone to help me
find someone, and I don't know why no one has

(05:16):
gone out to find this individual. His name, if you
know him, please let him know I'm looking for him.
Is Victor Perez Velasquez? Is VLAs Squez? Yeah, VLAs Squez.
I want to make sure I get his name right.
Do you know mister Victor H. Perez the Lasquez. Are

(05:43):
you familiar with him?

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Have you? Have you ever heard of him? Is he
familiar to you at all?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
He is the owner of the establishment known as Optimo
car Wash. I don't know if he is an owner operator,
but I do know that he is the owner of
the Optimo car Wash.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Now, I was under the impression.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
At Victor was a small business owner with probably a
car wash here or there. It turns out that in
Connecticut he owns the Optimo car Wash in Newington, Connecticut,
and as we learned yesterday, also owns the Optimo car

(06:32):
Wash in Hamden, Connecticut. And after doing a little bit
of research, again, like I said, wasn't even on my radar,
it turns out, according to reports that mister Velasquez owns
count them, fourteen Optimo car washes in Connecticut. It appears

(06:57):
that there is another location in Wallingford in Meriden. There
are two in Newington, two in Southington and two in Ansonia, Cromwell.
The one I've aforementioned on Dixwell Avenue in Hamden, one
in new Haven, East Windsor, Bristol, New Britain. Yes, he

(07:21):
owns them all, according to reports. I called a Victor
by accident today. I received his phone number, got on
the phone with him, and it turns out that Victor
is the general manager. The only reason why I looked
this up because I want to say this is how
it happened. I recorded our conversation, which I did not

(07:42):
get permission to play on the air, so why I'm
not going to play it. But I can tell you
what was said and if anyone or ever ask, I
have verifiable proof that I asked it and it was answered.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
I simply said, hello, is this Victor? And he said, yes,
this Victor. Oh are you the owner of Optimo car wash?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
No?

Speaker 6 (08:08):
No, no, not the owner? Oh? Can I speak to Victor?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know here? Okay? Do you know when he's coming back?

Speaker 7 (08:20):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (08:20):
No, I don't know who this is. Well, this is race
from w tic Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, I would like to know some information about the
ice arrests that the at the at the Hampden location.
Oh no, no, no, I don't know nothing. Well, no,
I want to know anything. I just want to know
if you have a statement about the arrest. No, no, no, no,
no no no. Uh, I'll give uh. I'll give Victor

(08:48):
your info. And he hung up the phone two which
I called back and I said, Victor, what is your
compatit at the Optimo car wash? And he goes, I'm
the I'm the and he couldn't find the words, and
he says, I'm the manager. I said, oh, you're the

(09:10):
manager at that location, because I thought I was calling Newington.
He goes, no, I'm the manager at all the locations.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Who all?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
He didn't say both, he said all, And I pay
attention to that. All the locations. All the locations, he responded,
And so I looked it up and there we have it,
fourteen locations and the general manager barely speaks English, maybe
first generation immigrants. I'm not suggesting that because he doesn't

(09:41):
speak English well, that he is in illegal I am
not suggesting that, but it's worth looking into, just saying,
just saying, And then it dawned on me. We have
the Newington location where they seven, we have the hand

(10:02):
In location where they grab eight. Is ICE going to
be going to all the locations? It seems like it.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
It appears that there is a pattern.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
But the patterns should be about Victor Velasquaz, not Ice.
I mean, if you really think about it, shouldn't we
be investigating as a state, who Victor Velasquaz is hiring
at the Optimo car washes fourteen locations near you? Shouldn't

(10:46):
I be? And That's what I would do. I'm just again,
I'm saying that as the news media, I'm talking about
gumshoe journalists, I would say, hey, that's interesting. We got
two optimal locations in different areas and we ended up
picking seven from one and eight at another. And no

(11:08):
one is saying, hey, there's a pattern going on. No,
can I share with you what is going on. Let's
take a trip over to w FSB and listen closely
to the angle they spin on this story.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
Yeah, people in handen demanding action this morning after ICE
agents rated a local car wash and took eight people
into Custoday, you're a reporter.

Speaker 9 (11:33):
Rogers Sandin has been on top of this. He's on
Dixwell Avenue with some of the information you need to know.

Speaker 10 (11:41):
That's right, and that is one of the things that
eyewitnesses tell us is so heartbreaking about this situation. And
you know, hamd It's mayor tells us that a married
couple of husband and wife who were also parents were
among the eight people who were detained. Now, yesterday, Ice
agents apparently walked right through this door in a raid
that was all caught on camera here at Optimo car Wash,

(12:04):
and take a look at your screen. You could see
in this footage agents sweeping into the business and eventually
leading people out in handcuffs. Now, eyewitnesses tell us that
a team of at least ten ICE officers work together
to remove eight people from the car wash, seven employees
and one customer. Hampden's mayor says some of the people
who were detained have school aged children, but town leaders

(12:26):
say they don't know the identities of all of the
people who were taken and that ICE did not give
them a heads up in advance. One eyewitness tells us
she'll never forget the sights and the sounds and the
sheer terror.

Speaker 11 (12:36):
The sights, the sounds, and the sheer terror are the
terror of what finding out that you have law breakers
in and around your city.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
The fact that you have people who are you don't
know where they came from, is that the sheer terror? No,
of course not.

Speaker 9 (12:57):
I heard the tires screeching, were halt and I ran
to the window, and that's when I saw the masks
men and then I heard a scream.

Speaker 10 (13:09):
Town leaders here in Handen are still trying to figure
out why this business, Optimal car Wash was targeted yesterday.

Speaker 12 (13:15):
But we.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Leaders are trying to figure out why the Optimal car
Wash here was targeted.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
Really that was what really, No, they're not they know
why it was targeted.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
But never one question, never one question Like it isn't
even on the minds of anyone at least that I
can see on social media outside of Yo. Mark and
West Hartford, who's been on the story, says the get
go that are asking the question.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
Wait a minute enough.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Optimo car Wash was rated by ice. John Larson openly
said that he met with the owner.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
Victor Velasquez.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
He didn't ask, hey, Vic, you're hiring illegals him.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
What's the deal? You know that isn't right.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
You know there are some crimes being committed by you.
Or did John Larson show up and shake the man's
hand and say, hey, man, good looking out on getting
illegals work and evading taxes so we could make it
maybe hike him up on the rich folks. Is that
what John Larson did bragging about meeting with the owner.

(14:46):
The spin on this WFSB story is hilarious to show
that look at all of the people who were terrorized
because Ice came into town.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
Look how how scared there was when the cars screeched.
I was horrified.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Another woman was in the report in the beginning of
the report and it was too low to play.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
She was like, that's what I was saying. I couldn't believe.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
It Ice is among us. I started laughing. I was like,
wait a minute, woman, let's get this right. You were stunned.
You couldn't believe that Ice was among you. Well guess
what else you didn't know? Cartel members, sex traffickers, and

(15:35):
drug traffickers were amongst you too, But you were probably
okay with that. Perhaps the fact that anyone would be
putting attention on ice and now in the fact that
there is a business owner and from what we see here,
a prominent business owner with fourteen locations near you, hiring

(16:00):
illegals from god knows where. And hold on, folks, let's
go one step further. They have access to your vehicle.
You are going into those car washes with your personal
affairs in them. You figure, oh, I'm just gonna go

(16:24):
get the car wash. And you get out the car
and you hand over your keys or your fob, and
you stand there and.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
You look on the aisle.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe I'll get a passion fruit air freshener for the
vehicle today.

Speaker 6 (16:41):
There's a little gift for myself. Oh you know what
I need this? Oh look at this. This is a
little phone holder. This is a cute one. We should
get this one, honey.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
And while that's going on, a bunch of illegals are
going through your personal effects.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
At fourteen locations one near you.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
And you think the person used to be worried about
is the person who's removing that element.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
From your neighborhoods.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
That FSB actually logged this story to talk about the
people who were shocked and horrified, and yet no one
has even thought to speak to Victor, So I asked, Victor,
where are you?

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Why are you in hiding? Are you illegal too?

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Because I think you owe all of us answers. You
run a business. You service the community, don't you, and
you're servicing them with illegals. Your heart that man, that man,
Carmen san Diego, that's all, and said that man's carbon
san Diego. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out, like,

(17:59):
what what are you doing.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
To ensure the safety of the community you serve? Are
you paying your fair share in taxes?

Speaker 13 (18:11):
Sir?

Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're a local business owner. How much money are you shaking?
I mean literally, are you keeping from the people of Connecticut?
I mean, technically you're the way you gotta be one
of the wealthiest guys around. You're skimming, You're paying a

(18:32):
bunch of illegals off the books. Clearly you're probably playing them,
paying them bottom dollar, no taxes, no unemployment taxes, no,
no Medicaid, no Social Security, no nothing. How much you're
paying them full five dollars an hour? How much money
is in your wallet? Everyone is busy talking about ice,

(18:57):
and we're talking about a local business owner with fourteen locations,
one near you. I'm sure, and no one person is
running to find out who that guy is, is.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
Hunting him down to get answers.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Hey, Victor will goatsasplain it, thorro get on it, folks,
get on it. It should not be left to me.
It shouldn't. Can I make this worse? Can I make
this worse than what it already is? For Victor Velasquez,

(19:39):
let me make it worse, ladies and gentlemen. There is
also a location on five ninety eight Memorial Parkway in
New Jersey. There's also a location in twenty seven Southwick
Road in Westfield, Massachusetts. There's also a location on two

(20:01):
thousand Murphy Drive in Bedford, Texas, and last, but not least,
at eighty four five North Stemmens Freeway in Dallas.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
He doesn't just own fourteen locations one near you. He
owns eighteen across this.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Across the country. Hmm.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
No one thought to answer ask this guy a question.
I mean, right now, we're just counting fifteen illegals taken
from two of his locations. How many do you think
are at all? Eighteen? If anybody was an inquiring mine,
they'd want to know. Maybe it's just me maybe when

(21:00):
we come back, I've got some very very troubling details
to share with you that may be may cause this
the rabbit hole may go really really deep on the.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
Mimi's Torres story.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
We're trying to get in touch with the person who
did this reporting and the information they have.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
There were some questions that I asked yesterday.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I'm gonna break down exactly why those questions were not
only valid, but from what we know now in this reporting,
that every reasonable answer to those questions may come to light.
And there's a little bit of chicanery that happened in
the courtroom in all of this, and we'll play you

(21:40):
some audio from that as well.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
All right, stand by for that.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
By the way, if you know Victor Velasquez, just tell them, hey,
we're looking for him. Okay, maybe you can answer a
couple of questions, at least to us, because the regular
news media has no interest. Okay, fourteen locations, fifteen people
arrested by Ice. I say there's more. I think we
need to go to all these locations. All Right, we'll

(22:05):
be back. Ahalla, it's rees on the radio on WTICE
News Doc ten.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Eighty fan of w t I S.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
Then do us a favor, download the free Honesty app
and favorite w T.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I c hey, we're back Reese on the radio. WT
I see News Talk ten eighty uh Ralo's in the
chat room, and I don't Again. I get the accusation
that I am arrogant from my detractors, and Okay, if
I'm arrogant, it's for good reason in your in your view,

(22:36):
and let me explain to you why you think I'm argant. Yeah,
I'm gonna say, but it doesn't matter, Okay. I said
this a long time ago. A friend of mine would
do this to me all the time, and he would go, yo, race, did.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
You hear about such and such and such?

Speaker 2 (22:57):
And then I would calmly respond to him, yes, you know,
I heard about it, and we go, why you always
know everything?

Speaker 6 (23:07):
And I'm like, it's my job to know this.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
So instead of going out to find news to find
out if I know about it, just come to me.
I am your news source, self appointed, I might add,
but I am. People call here all the time, and
you get it. Some people they laugh about it, they go, hey, reason,
you hear about my mom's Like yes, and then I'll
give them details on the story. You're like, dude, it

(23:33):
never fails. When I think you don't know about a
story you do, it's not It's nothing to do with
that I breathe. It's my oxygen. Okay, with all due respect,
it's my oxygen. It's why I'm on this planet right now,
with the exception of taking care of my wife and
buying her every little, frivolous, ridiculous thing that she wants.

(23:54):
But it's my job to know these stories and to
be abreast of them. Because I don't bring them up
on this show. It's usually because it's not the news
that people make it out to be. With all due respect,
I get why newsrooms do the stories that they do.
I work with these producers. I know why the stories
are out there. Okay, it is narrative building. It's not

(24:18):
about importance. So when somebody comes to me and says, hey, Reece,
did you hear about the Young Republicans and their secret
you know, conversations on telegram, I'm like, yeah, of course
I know about it. Of course I did. I did
it yesterday. It was part of the headlines. So for
those of you who missed it, let me read it

(24:39):
back to you. Leaders of the Young Republicans group throughout
the country worried that what would happen if their telegram
chat ever got leaked, but they kept on typing anyway.
According to Politico, they referred to black people as monkeys
or the watermelon people in jokes that they were making online.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
These are the things that they said.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
These were staffers, people who are not in political power,
who were making these statements. In fact, Politico admits there
were twenty eight thousand comments inside these private chats. Of
all twenty eight thousand of them, they found the gay

(25:23):
slurf for homosexuals, the F word, the word retarded, and
the rap version use of the N word A combined
two hundred and fifty one times out of twenty eight
thousand text messages. Three words combined two hundred and fifty

(25:45):
one out of twenty eight thousand.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Now let's put this story to bed.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
And I'm going to use former congress Congressman Peter Mayer
because he's this in the saying the same thing that
I said yesterday.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
It should all be condemned as rufic.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I mean, J. D.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
Vance's beenking a great point that one or a bunch
of random folks. Yes, there were some state legislators. In
the chat, the worst things were coming from you know, staffers,
and not a single person in this group had I
heard of. But most of those folks have already either
been fired or resigned. Versus Jay Jones is sitting there
running for office and not a single person has pulled
their endorsement or support for him.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
Okay, staffers, nobody's been fired or resigned. They're out of
their job.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
J Jones would like to murder his political opponents and
kill their kids still in the race.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
And Democrats won't condemn them.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Okay, Ralloh, we up to speed now, Okay, and screaming
and hollering and saying, see there's racism. You're arguing. It's
a circular argument. Nobody said there wasn't racism, but we
addressed it. You're late.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
What you should do is is stop waiting for your
news to be.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Delivered to you by wherever it is you old black Twitter,
and just come here. Okay, come here first. The news
that I did yesterday is now.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Your headlined today. That's right.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Because I'm trying to be ahead of a curve. I'm
trying to earn my paycheck. Okay, I'm the wide receiver
getting ten million dollars a year who always scores a
touchdown in every game. I've got to justify my paycheck.
Do we understand each other now? Good? I'm glad. I'm
hoping that we can move on. Let's move on to
the story as it relates to Mimi Torres. So there's

(27:40):
a guy who is posting information and he is doing
extensive work on him. But I'm not giving his name
or his information or he'll be flooded. We're gonna work
on seeing if we can get him on the show
to find out one where he got his information from.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
And he is doing the legwork. He's on the ground, he's.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
An independent reporter and he did a lot of this work,
so I will give him props for it, but I
want to talk about what he found. And according to
this story, there's some incidentals here that aren't corroborated or confirmed.
So I want to make it clear that when I
expressed this, this is based upon reports from individuals who

(28:18):
know confirmed or not, We're not certain. But there is
one thing that we are finding out that we were
not told in the beginning. The police did not learn
of this until individuals alerted them. But there was something
that was going on that just didn't make sense to me,

(28:39):
and it had to do with the young man and
the boyfriend I should say, whose name is Jonathan. And
Jonathan appeared in court yesterday with a lot of bruises
on his face, and when I looked at those, I went,

(29:00):
okay with somebody a little heavy handed with him to
get a confession at the police department. I'm sorry, that
was just I'm just going there. I watched a lot
of NYPD Blue back in the day. Simplewitz was quite
handy with a phone book. But I'm saying to myself, look,
considering the severity of this, you know, maybe somebody you
know rough them up a bit to find Mimi's body.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
It's only partially true.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
It turns out that individuals who know the family were
the ones, according to this report, who roughed him up.
But there's something fishy about that. Let me play you
this from Fox sixty one yesterday. This is a woman
who calls herself Love and I want you to listen
to this report and how she describes how Jonathan told

(29:52):
them about the body because something stuck out here that
didn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Since her memorial was created dozens of people have come
to pay their respects to me me. One of them
was Love, who says she was the anonymous tipster who
helped New Britain police find the eleven year old's body.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Now why she was the anonymous tipster who helped the
police find her body. That's why it's described in Fox
sixty one. That's not true. She didn't help police find
the body. She found the body, as she told them
in Fox sixty one.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
So again, listen to ours described.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Maybe this is laziness on Fox sixty one's reporter, but
listen to what he says.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Since her memorial was created, dozens of people have come
to pay their respects to me Me. One of them
was Love, who says she was the anonymous tipster who
helped New Britain police find the eleven year old's body.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
That's not what happened.

Speaker 14 (30:47):
I wanted to believe it was a close bitten of close.
I really didn't want to believe it was a body.

Speaker 6 (30:56):
Your heart races your heart.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Racist, Love says her knew the eleven year old mother's boyfriend,
Jonathan Nanita. She says he started to leave breadcrumbs in
their conversations about killing someone and where the body was.

Speaker 14 (31:08):
He kind of just told the wrong person where she was,
and we came and investigated it and it was a
body Jonathan kind of told on himself.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Really love, says Nanita told her friend the person who
was killed was a quote bad man and that they
quote deserved it. She says, they launched a self investigation
to find the body.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
But why why they launched a self investigation to find
the body? Why Jonathan just said he killed somebody and
it was a bad man. He revealed where it was.
Why did they go into when did they go search?

(31:51):
They didn't call police until after they went to go
see the body themselves. I'm still asking myself why were
shocked when it turned out.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
To be Mimi's.

Speaker 14 (32:00):
But I had a feeling anyways it was a human
because she did tell me that he said it was
a bad man. So I was disgusted. I was devastated
when I found out.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
It was a little girl, she says.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Their discovery led New Britain police to this house on
Clark Street, where they recovered the storage bind and the
autopsy confirmed the body's identity to belong to Mimi. Since
the discovery, police have arrested Anita, the girl's mother, Carla Garcia,
and her aunt Jacqueline Garcia, after learning about the prolonged
abuse police say me me endured Love wishes someone could
have saved her, but says she's glad they found her

(32:32):
when they did.

Speaker 14 (32:32):
She deserves her peace and I'm happy I could do
that for her family.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
But according to this report, something is really really ugly.
I just got word from the Connecticut Sentinel. They just
did an article, and I'm glad they just told me
about it. Where is it here? It is according to
their reporting, that young Mimi was dead before the start

(33:05):
of school, and that what her mother did was after
her death was go to the school and have her removed.
She never had one day at school, as they were
reporting earlier, because she was dead before the beginning of school,
and in order to cover her tracks and it's so

(33:26):
that no child would be no person in the school
system would be looking for her, she removed her from
the school, telling them that she was going to homeschool
the child. That's how the homeschooling gets into all of this.
So for anybody who was saying, oh, she was homeschool
all right, that's out of this.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Let's end that.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Ever, since the story broke about the poor, unfortunate New Britain,
a twelve year old girl whose mother, aunt, and another
are accused of murdering her, rumors began to fly that
the girl was homeschool and was killed after signing.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
A withdrawal from the Arctober from.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
The August twenty sixth, twenty twenty fourth starting date, that
the family was moving to Farmington at that time and
that was the reason why the child was being removed
from the school, signing another form that same day indicating
the mother's intent to school her at home. The National
Home Education Legal Defense has refrained from commenting on that
because the focus that she purportedly signed have not yet

(34:30):
been released and such a claim remains simple hearsay. We
are commenting now, however, because we do have evidence that
the date that the murder occurred June twenty first, twenty
twenty four. How do we know that and what's the evidence?
We know because we have read the public We have

(34:51):
read the publicity everywhere.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
We have read the publicly.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Oh the publicly available cease detail appeared on the state's
judicial website where the mother, Carla Garcia, is being charged.
On that site, we see that Carla has been charged,
among other things, with murder. Adjacent to the charge that
we see a column stating date of offense. Under that column,
it's clearly listed that the date is June twenty first

(35:18):
of twenty twenty four. Assuming that to be the case,
then all the rumors and statements and arguments have been
swirling around the media until now clamoring the need to
regulate homeschooling because of this tragic murder was caused because
the girl was homeschool is absolutely false. Those who are
responsible for spreading those rumors, Now, oh, homeschools, community, homeschooling

(35:41):
communities a very large and genuine apology. So the charging
date is June twenty first, she goes to the school,
removes her from their Homeschooling played no role. Homeschooling was
used as a ruse. So that's over. But now let's

(36:03):
get to the meat of this. Oh darn it, we
gotta go to a break, don't we. Okay, we'll take
a break. We'll come back. I'll read this statement in
this breakdown of the case. Because it turns out it
is not the aunt, it is not the mother, and
it is not Jonathan. The boyfriend. Who are the only
people who knew about Mimi's death? And we'll tell you
that when we get on the other side of it.
Stand by, it's reached on the radio.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
It's race on the radiot. I see, I see.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Yeah, finishing up with this.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Story about what's her name, Mimi Torres, the twelve year
old or eleven, well she was she had just turned twelve,
so she was actually dead before her twelfth birthday according
to all reports. So yesterday WFSB got a hold of
the aunt of the mother of Mimi. Okay, she is

(36:55):
the aunt of the mother and who are now alleged
to have killed Mimi. And in that report, I think
it was around six point thirty it aired yesterday. I
watched that and I'm listening to the aunt tell this

(37:15):
story about how they didn't know, nobody had seen Mimi,
had had any contact with her, and I knew that
there was just something.

Speaker 6 (37:26):
Off about all of this. And in the report you
could go watch.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
It yourself on WFSB, this aunt says that she's the
one heard making an outburst in the courtroom screaming at Jonathan,
you're a baby killer.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
You're a baby killer.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Well, after further investigation too, that I kept saying in
my head, according to everything that we know, Jonathan is
literally just a patsy here.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
He's the one who discarded the body.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
No one is ever alleged that he killed me me
ever until the courtroom, and then I get this report
which says that there were several individuals who showed up
at the scene where the body was found, and one
in particular person. I'm not going to put them on

(38:22):
blast until we get to the bottom of this, until
I interview this guy, but there was one family member
that showed up on the scene and said allegedly screaming,
you guys have been traveling with that body for a
week in the car, which if that report is true

(38:47):
and they heard it, that means that there were several
others who knew about this. In fact, they are also
suggesting that in the courtroom it was a planned idea
to focus all the attention on Jonathan to give the
impression that families were blaming him. That's what the report says.

(39:11):
That is all alleged that we're going to get to
the bottom of that soon, and I promise you we're
going to get to the bottom of that. There's so
much other stuff that goes on here. Because we were
asking the question yesterday, how did his father, how did
her father, Victor not get custody? We found out that
apparently at birth, the reason why a grandparents Victor's parents

(39:33):
got custody was because both parents were incarcerated at the
time and it was only one person. You know, I
guess one family that could take care of him naturally,
the parental I mean the paternal grandparents, because I don't
think that there were any maternal ones that could. But

(39:54):
still doesn't It raises alarms, is how the hell do
we get to the point where DCF gets in and
takes that child away?

Speaker 6 (40:02):
No one that's a criminal record related to the It's insane.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
We got to get to the newsroom. John Silva is
in the WTIC news Center and we'll be back at
Trees on.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
The radio, Greece on the radio making sense of the news. Yeah,
even when it makes no sense at all at all.
Now until a U T I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
After we do headlines, I'm want to do something a
little controversial here as it relates to this story with Mimi.
A conversation with my wife and I had yesterday about
the relationship with her mother. You don't want to miss
this because if you are hispanic on the program and
listening to the program, I want to hear from you
about this. This is it's a weird theory, but it

(40:45):
goes based on this report and my conversation with my
wife as it relates to her mother.

Speaker 6 (40:50):
But I'll explain that in a minute, but let's get
to some headlines.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
With his growing momentum, former Governor Andrew Cuomo will focus
more attacks on the front runner, Zorn Mamdanni in their
first debate mayor for New York City at thirty Rockefeller Center,
which airs at seven pm. Of course, check your local
listings if you want to check out the debate. I
expect it to be fireworks because Curtis Sliwa will be there.

(41:20):
I don't think that Curtis Sliwa has much of a chance.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
But I do believe that he will. He'll shake it
up a bit.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Given the opportunity to speak, He'll be able to condemn
both of these folks. He's not a fan of the
Cuomo's definitely not, and darn sure not a fan of
Zoran Mamdani. So just his appearance alone should be explosive.
There should be a lot of sound bites out of that.
Whatever comes of it, we'll play it during tomorrow's program.

(41:50):
The Connecticut Office of Inspectors General has found that three
members of a regional swat team were justified when they
return fire toward a man who had barricaded himself in
a North Haven home in twenty twenty four while armed
with a shotgun and other firearms in the house. The
findings of the investigation were released yesterday, I should say,

(42:11):
in a report filed by the Inspector General, Elliot Prescott.
In the thirty six page report, Prescott said he concluded
that Detective Raymond Wilson Junior of the East Haven Police
Department and Officer rock o'morgan of the Branford Police Department,
in Corporal Thomas Piselli of the North Branford Police Department
were justified when they fired multiple rounds at Robert Missourich,

(42:33):
who was not hit by the gunfire but was later
arrested on several charges.

Speaker 6 (42:39):
The Connecticut Department of Transportation.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Recently conducted a survey that showed eighty percent of the
state's residents do not feel comfortable walking or biking on state.

Speaker 6 (42:48):
Roads and the roadways.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
According to that report, Nuttmaker said that the pathways are
cracked and car traffic are key factors. I didn't know
it was that bad. But look, I'm gonna be honest
with you. I know people like riding in the street,
and it's just if you're riding your bike in certain
areas and we're gonna have a big bike ride next year,

(43:11):
But when you're riding your bike out there, you got look,
just find a park to go to.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
Just do that.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
It's the safest way to travel. It's too dangerous on
Connecticut roads.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
We know that. Everybody knows it. I don't know how
many times we have to hear it.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I've done reports here about people in the amount of
people who end up dying or facing serious injury because
of it.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
And again, it's a combination of two things, and that is.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Horrible driving and bad roads. And you just again you
can't trust it. Sorry, just can't do it. All right,
Not the stupidest thing I read today, Yes you do.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
It could very well be the stupidest person on the
face of the earth.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Roland are you using any of these AI chats like chat,
GPT or grock. Are you using any of these at
this moment, Like, do you even investigate them?

Speaker 15 (44:12):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (44:12):
No, one of my boys is into it, though, Really okay,
I'm really okay. Yeah, Well I've I've been using them
quite a bit, right, And I like them because for
research they're really really great and you can be specific.
Like I was just telling Mark and West Hartford today
that if he's he's asking me, he's like, how do
you do your research? And I'm like, if I'm looking
for stories that I may have missed, I can ask

(44:33):
Rock give me ten stories that are important but the
news media isn't covering, and it will go out and
find all of the articles and the links to those
stories without any spin. It'll just tell me what their
stories are. This is a hot story, this is a
hot you know, you know event that's going on in
New Haven, this is happening in Bridgeport.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
It'll give me a list.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
So if I specify my search, it will tell me
it's better than Google and all that other nonsense. But
this story is probably the best because you are supposed
to and it's up to you to do it. You're
supposed to delete everything that you search for, especially if
you're searching for something that might be questionable, which.

Speaker 6 (45:16):
Should have been the case with Ryan Shaeffer.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
He was arrested in charge with felony property damage for
a rampage at a Missouri State University parking lot. Investigators
alleged that Shaffer shattered car windows, ripped off side mirrors,
dented hoods, and broke windshield wipers during a three a
m spree. When he's confronted, When he was confronted with

(45:38):
surveillance footage and other evidence, Shaeffer said that he could
see the resemblance between the suspect and himself, saying, yeah, God,
it looks like me.

Speaker 6 (45:48):
But then he consented to a search on his iPhone,
which you never do. You make them get a warrant,
but he consented.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Sequent review of the device revealed the location data placing
Schaeffer at the at or near the scene of the crime,
as well as a troubling dialogue exchange that he had
with chat GPT. Now, in chat GPT, just like GROCK,
you can talk to the AI and it will talk
back to you. And in this he asked how f

(46:24):
up am I will I go to jail? He also
asked chet GPT, what if I smash the ish out
of multiple cars. He actually asked they arrested him because
he's pretty much self indicted himself. That's a redundant, but

(46:46):
he's self indicted, and yeah, that's why he's been charged.
So I saw this and I just went I love
chat GPT.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
I mean, it's it's cute.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
I don't think it's as good as GROK though, but
it's cute. I'll ask it. I'll ask chat GPT a
question and then ask Groc the same question to see
how they respond, because primarily chat GPT will go immediately
in the left and I just want to hear that perspective.
But I'll go to the to Groc. And this is

(47:16):
another great thing that you can do. If you're interested,
before or when you ask the question, you can preface
the question by saying no spin, just facts, and then
ask the question and it will tell you just the facts,
every bit of it.

Speaker 6 (47:32):
And if you.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Think that it's you, that it's telling you a lie
or it's wrong, you can express that in there and
it will come back to you and says no spin,
this is the truth. And I mean it actually does it.
So it's actually pretty good. And then I think it's fun.
But don't use it to commit crimes, okay, just just
something that you should take to heart.

Speaker 6 (47:54):
Back to the Mimi story before I go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
I was talking to my wife about this in the car,
and in thinking about this story with Mimi Torres, Mattio
in the chat room said, did they ever tell why
she was killed? And I have my suspicion, but it's
a little convoluted. I don't think it's that. I don't

(48:23):
think it's the thing that I'm going to discuss, but
I think it's associated with it. Let me start from
the back. So Roseann and I are driving and she's
talking about what it was like as a child, and
she was yelling at me about how we both grew
up wearing hand me downs. I wore the hand me downs,
and the kids in the neighborhood who were I thought

(48:43):
was being kind and giving me their, you know, their
barely used clothing and then making fun of me. At school,
Roseanne had to wear her brother's clothing, and she was
talking about how traumatic that was like she was like
having to dress like a boy. The shoes that she
was wearing her brother's shoes and they were much too large,
and she never understood why her mother didn't even bother

(49:05):
to get her hand me downs from girls, and I
was like, that's interesting, and she began talking about like
our child when we started going down that rabbit hole
of talking about or childhood, and then I was talking
about other cases where in the Latin community parents, mothers

(49:27):
in particular, always have this rivalry with their daughters, and
I was like, why is that? And it always turns
out no matter where I go and I start having
these conversations with Hispanic Latina women, it is always these
rivalries with their mother. Either they really get along with

(49:48):
their mother or they have rivalries with their mother.

Speaker 6 (49:50):
But when they have the rivalry.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
It is always about the father, the mother's jealousy of
the father's relationship with the and that was an interesting dynamic.
Now I don't know if any other culture has that problem.
Here's where it gets controversial. What have we seen in

(50:15):
a lot of these third world world cultures when we
find these folks arrested in and around Connecticut and around
the country. What is the overwhelming charge we keep seeing?
You know, we see it all the time, and it
is really like, why is there so many people charged

(50:36):
with that? Like why? And then we started. My wife
and I started having a conversation and she said that
it is a cultural thing, and I'm like cultural, like,
like yes, it's like it's one of those taboos culturally.
Now I hate I'm not sitting up here trying to

(50:57):
condemn an entire group of people, because, as you notice,
I named no group.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
I didn't name any country, any region.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I'm just saying that culturally, everywhere I go speaking to
the Hispanic community, this seems to be talked about all
the time, that this is a problem, and again mothers
having problems with their daughters as it relates to this. Now,
with that being said, let me go here. Carla resented

(51:27):
Victor's involvement in stable family life, with his mother, Patricia,
raising the girls for eight years. She weaponized child support
and repeatedly tried jailing Victor, rejecting Patricia his mother's offers
to pay it off and to leave him alone. They
say that she snapped when Victor started a new family,

(51:49):
leading her to aggressively pursue custody. That's according to this report.
They say that Victor stayed involved. From jail, he reunited
briefly with Carla, the mother, and later moved to.

Speaker 6 (52:03):
Florida to build a better life for his daughters.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
The family said food and snacks to Nina via school connections,
and it persistently checked on Mimi verifying her school enrollment.
After suspicions, they confronted Jonathan to locate Carla.

Speaker 6 (52:22):
Oh, okay, this is the latter part of the deal.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
But what they're saying is is that there have always
been this rivalry when it came to Carla and the
biological father Victor, and him trying to pursue a relationship
and connection with his daughter Mimi. According to this report,
that drove Carla nuts and that anger and animus was

(52:50):
always directed towards Mimi, which, to answer Mattio's question, I
think that's what led to where we are with the constant,
And again we have verifiable knowledge that Carla, the mother,
was always trying to find ways to attack and to
malign and.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
To keep Mimi away from Victor. Mimi was, in essence,
the pawn in all.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Of this, which I'm only suspecting here sounds like how
we get to where we are because it doesn't make
sense outside of that, you know what I mean, It
doesn't make sense unless you are trying to punish the father.

Speaker 6 (53:36):
For whatever relationship. There is that sort of anger.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
And again this is all alleged, but according to this
report that they laid out here, all of that seems
to be laid out here. And this is being confirmed
by two verifiable and very close relatives who are associated
with this. So if there's any motive, that's what they're suggesting.

(54:00):
Scud of the phones, Bob isn't merit And Hello surfer.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
Yes, hello Reeese, thank you for picking up the club
if you don't mind, If I can go back on
the subject of accidents pedestrians being hit in Connecticut and nationwide.
I know they have a new law about helmets being
required for electric bikes, but this is, you know, just

(54:25):
a recommendation, or you're what if do you think if
they made a law that people not on sidewalks but
jogging or driving bicycles in the road need a fluorescent vest,
do you think that would cause more accidents or do
you think it would reduce them?

Speaker 2 (54:44):
I think if it's during the day, not so much.
I mean there's a reflective vest during the day is
almost unglear. Yeah, yeah, because first of all, that could
be damaging, because remember the sun glare could probably getting
someone's eyes.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
They're drives to make police officers wear them, and I
may construction people turn the day wear them.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Wear them where.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
If you're a construction person and you're on the.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Road, yeah, but if you're in a construction seat, again,
you're kind of making my point for me. If you're
in a construction site, you're not riding down the road.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
You were stationary. You're in one particular region.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Right. If police officer says, let me finish police, if
you're a police officer and you're standing in the road,
you're standing in the road. What I'm talking about is
if you are a bicycle rider during the day with
a reflective vest. No, no, I'm we're talking about the day.
I know about the night. The night is self explanatory.
I don't need to address that. But in the daytime,

(55:40):
if the bicycle rider is driving, imagine he makes it turn.
That reflective light happens immediately at that time and gets
right into the eye of a driver.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
You're creating a hazard situation.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Okay, this sounds good, not a problem.

Speaker 7 (55:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
You know stevie V he said something interesting chat room
when I was talking about what these people come to
me with subjects.

Speaker 6 (56:03):
I have an answer for it.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Let me read what he wrote.

Speaker 6 (56:05):
He says, what.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Callers who often try to challenge you or argue with
you don't realize is that you weren't blind without a
call screener, and you respond accordingly to the benefit of
advanced notifications. Without the benefit of advanced notifications. Yes, I
don't know what you're calling about. I assume you're calling
about the subject I'm talking about. But if you ask

(56:26):
me about other stuff, I'm already prepared. My point, exactly
is why I do the homework so I'm not caught
flat footed. Let's go to market windsor how are you sarching?

Speaker 7 (56:37):
Hey?

Speaker 16 (56:37):
How you doing? Reese? And hello to all your men
and women listeners out there?

Speaker 6 (56:43):
How are you sir?

Speaker 16 (56:43):
Say nice? I can't complain. I've been worse, Reese. Have
you ever heard the term parental alienation?

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Yes, yes, very much aware of it. In fact, I
know a lot of girls back in the day who
used to do that as a uh it's sort of
like as a retaliation towards the the the individual or
the baby daddy so to speak. It was always that
child was neglected based upon the relationship of that individual's father.

Speaker 16 (57:15):
Yeah, where the custodial parent, usually the mother exerts control
or the non custodial parent, usually the father with the
child and whatever and the child support. And I don't understand.

(57:36):
I do not understand why DCF gave this woman the child,
gave her custody of the child, took the custody away
from the grandparents after seven years, especially if the father
was involved. Yes, I think that in the interest of

(57:58):
public of the public interest that you know, this child
is deceased now, this eleven year old girl, she's deceased
now they eventually this should be made public. The DCF
record should be made public, the who, what, wives and
wins where you know?

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Yeah, because you're right, because the most important thing to
know here, and I think that's where we go down
the trail is what led DCF to make the final
decision because there.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
Must have been a court involved. Right that that says that.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
They can legally remove the child from the only home
that she's known since birth. Right because both parents are incarcerated,
they have the child says birth seven years literally going
through life, growing up, going to school, gaining friends, living
in the community, and then saying we're gonna uproot that
child from the only place they knew somewhere else and
DCF had the right to do that clearly with the

(58:50):
court's assistance.

Speaker 6 (58:52):
What led to that?

Speaker 16 (58:55):
Riddle me that man? Thank you? I mean, I just
come on, batman. You know, we have to get to
it because the and if the father was involved, the
grandparents were involved, she has stability, continuity, a support system,
and then to put her in and from my understanding,

(59:17):
the mother's a crackhead.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (59:20):
Wrong.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
I don't know if that's I don't know if that's
evidence yet, but I do I do hear that that
that's not in this report. But I've heard this outside
that there were drugs involved in things of that nature.
But I can't confirm that. But but we do know
that everybody there is it's got a criminal history, especially
this Jonathan character, which I'm understanding according to this report.

(59:42):
By the way, FYI, the guy who wrote this report
just texted me. I'm about to call him during the
break to see if I can get him on the air.
But I'm gonna get to the bottom of that.

Speaker 6 (59:50):
I promise you.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Mark. Let me go to a break, man, and good
hearing from you. I haven't heard from you in a while.
I'll talk to you soon. You got it, man, Let's
take a break.

Speaker 6 (59:57):
We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
I'm gonna talk to this gentleman real quick. See if
I can get him on the air. If not, see
if I can get some information for him for air.
So stand by. It's resent the radio on WTIC News
Talk Tanadi. Let me thank you for that, sir. All right, folks,
I didn't expect this to happen, but you know, like
I said, it's fly by the seat of your pants radio.

Speaker 6 (01:00:15):
Sometimes on the phone with us.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Is the gentleman that I said that I was gonna
get in touch with and see if I can get
him on the show.

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
He reached out to me. He is on the line now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
He is known as Los Fidel, and he has done
some extensive reporting on the death of Mimi Torres and
joins us today. Los thank you very much for being
part of the program on such short notice and being
able to share the information that you gathered on this.
Let me let me go sort of ahead of all
of this and ask you just one question. Have you

(01:00:46):
been able to get any information from your sources that
have explained to you or been able to relate to
you what may have been the cause of all of
this abuse that Mimi may have allegedly endured. You have
any information on that, So I would.

Speaker 7 (01:01:02):
Like to preface any statement. I mean I saying that
I have not done much research. I have not questioned
the family. I have not all of the information that
was different from me, but information that I was asked
to put out there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:01:19):
So so it's my understanding that they do have because
of death. But I didn't ask any questions in regards
to that or anything that I felt wasn't information.

Speaker 6 (01:01:36):
I was pretty okay. So no one has shared any information.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
So these are people sharing information with you to get
out to the public because they have firsthand knowledge of this.
And there has been no information that says to you
what led to this abuse in any way, like whether
or not there was something related to the mom and
the father, the daughter or anything like that. So that
information was not given to you.

Speaker 7 (01:01:59):
So it's my understanding that the abuse was prolonged. As
for the actual cause of death, again, I'm not sure,
but the abuse that occurred was at the hands of
the mother, her sister, and the mother's boyfriend. Father was
not in the picture at the time, right, But they

(01:02:19):
all contributed to.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Her, her abuse and of course her of course her
subsequent death. Los Let me ask you this. According to
your reporting, the most damaging part of this, or the
most damning part of all of this, is that the
three individuals who were charged did not do this under

(01:02:43):
any cover of darkness. That there were indeed individuals who
were very much aware of the abuse. Yes, and you
talk about a particular woman who arrived at the scene
of her location that was in New Britain, a particular
individual who started shouting something along the lines of you

(01:03:04):
guys have been driving around with her for a week,
which then suggested that somebody who knew some detail like that,
that they was driving around with Mimi's dead body in
the car had to be somebody who knew.

Speaker 7 (01:03:18):
So I didn't. I didn't get into detail regarding that,
and I should have. But when Mimi was already in
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, when Carla was already in
police custody. Uh, this family member showed up to the
scene screaming that so that family member had no all right,

(01:03:39):
one second about it. That family member had that family
member had no opportunity to speak to Carla before or
after arriving at the scene. So the fact that they
arrived with that information already known to them, Yeah, that
it doesn't imply that they were aware already. And I

(01:04:01):
can't say anything that jeopardized the case, but I will
say that the person that I got that or that
I was told that from who was on the scene
is not the same person who had confirmed to me
that police made mention of the fact that the other
family members knew to Hong Kong family members, specifically family
members that were acting sad were already aware.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Okay, So there was a lot of performative behavior at
the scene of people crying and being sorrowful even though
they knew that Mimi had been dead a year. Yes, sir,
there's another part of your report because a young lady
who was on WFSB was saying that she was one

(01:04:44):
of the individuals who shouted at Jonathan during the arraignment,
and yeah, there's okay, So so you laughed because you
know what I'm getting into next. So that that sort
of leads me to this. To this point, is that
there is what you believe in what information you've been

(01:05:05):
getting from individuals in the know is that there is
some sort of effort to pin all of this on Jonathan,
to at least sac at least save the hides of
her mother and her aunt. In other words, to sort
of and they're sort of playing that narrative up inside
the courtroom with people sort of like their outrage is
to say that Jonathan is the main culprit and all

(01:05:27):
of this and the other ones are just sort of subactors.

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
Right, Yep. The person did say that, I know, if
you watch the courtroom I guess the courtroom appearance, you
will hear her scream at Jonathan. Yeah, but you won't
hear her scream at anyone else.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
Yeah, it is in fact, she makes mention of that.
She makes mention of that.

Speaker 7 (01:05:52):
Yeah, but she she said it in a way that
implied that she had the same energy for everyone. So those,
as you stated, those were words that came out of
her home mouth. However, that's not That's not what I'm
hearing from other people close to the case that were
there that we're on team.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
So you've been gathering more and more information about this,
and I know that the information that you're beginning are
coming from firsthand knowledge. If I can ask you this
and if you can't answer it, I appreciate it. If not,
I respect it. Are these family members though, these people
who are in the know, are they coming to you
because out of fear of obviously of retribution, but they're
getting it out there because they want more information to

(01:06:32):
come out that they cannot give themselves out of fear
of retribution or whatever the case may be. Is that
Are you the con do it to get that information out?

Speaker 12 (01:06:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:06:41):
I think that's fair to say. I mean I lived,
so I don't really lit into these people in New
Britain and Harper and I don't really either fear for
my safety either. You know, I'm not really concerned with
with any threats or anything that may come up this.
So it's also another thing is that when I put
the information out there, uh, you know, police can just

(01:07:03):
write me off as an unreliable source or whatever. But
when the family starts to do it now they can
they can potentially be be.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
I forget the.

Speaker 7 (01:07:14):
Word about the PENI yeah, and jeopardize the case in
different ways.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
So okay.

Speaker 7 (01:07:22):
Other thing too is because of the efforts to paint it, uh,
put it all on Jonathan and not hold the people
that are responsible responsible, then you know, you can have
something like what happened with Casey and Kaylee Anthony where
mom got away with it. So we just want to
make sure that the truth is out there, regardless of
the outcome of the case.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
That's all that and that's the only thing that anybody
can ask for, is that the fact that all of
this is the truth comes out, the people who are
responsible are held responsible, uh, and those who are pretending that,
like I said, we may learn that there were other
individuals who aided and embedded in this, but that investigation
order for that to happen, they've got to listen to
the people who know, and they can't because I do believe,

(01:08:05):
and we're trying to find this out, is that whether
or not people are so concerned or embarrassed by this
that they will make this an open and shut case
before we get all the evidence. So I thank you
for when I found your thing popped up on my screen.

Speaker 6 (01:08:19):
You and I don't even know each other.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Your Facebook feed ended up on my screen and I went, oh,
who's this guy? And then I started going through your
material and you were actually corroborating a lot of information
I was getting, so that was the reason why I
contacted you, so most fidell thank you for all of
your work. If anything comes up, you have my cell
phone number, please get in touch with me.

Speaker 6 (01:08:39):
Will either get you one or we'll just share what
you learn.

Speaker 7 (01:08:41):
Okay, Yeah, I would just like to know too that
I put out some of the information before the press conference,
and police only corroborated what I said and added validity
to the truth behind it. I still I've been trying
to be careful. There are a lot of other things
that I've been told that that I've held to myself. Okay,

(01:09:04):
I believe a lot more information will come out, but
but you know there's there's.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Listen, let me help you. Let me help you this way,
Lows and I think this will be helpful to you
if you're concerned about that. What I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna get you in touch with our guy Mark Walls, right.
He's he is our reporter on the scene. He is
literally on the ground. If there's anything that you need assistance.
This guy knows all the players and all the people,
so he knows somebody who knows somebody, so that you

(01:09:33):
can get the information that corroborates what you're learning so
that you're.

Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
Not out there putting yourself on a limb legally.

Speaker 7 (01:09:39):
Okay, okay, I appreciate that necessarily not a problem.

Speaker 6 (01:09:42):
All right, thank you again, Los Fidel.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Well, you know, we'll keep in contact with you and
we'll bring you back as soon as we need.

Speaker 6 (01:09:48):
Okay, sure, yeah, man, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
So there it is from the horse's mouth, the guy
who's getting information. Family members and people in the know
are contacting him, giving me the information, using him to
convey what they know. Let me go to Mark, who
ironically is on the on the call. What's going on, sir?

Speaker 17 (01:10:08):
Yeah, I'm sure glad he came, he came forward.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Yeah, it's not easy.

Speaker 17 (01:10:13):
I understand that you can hear his reservation. But you
know what will happen is he's gonna realize after this
phone call he did the right thing, and you in
that feeling there you just can't describe. So I'm hoping
that he'll be part of your show from here on in,
at least regarding this. So the other day, you know,
I said I want to create Mimi's Law. Well there's

(01:10:34):
about ten of them now, so I'm gonna have to
think of something different.

Speaker 12 (01:10:37):
No, you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
No, no, no, you just just join on to the
Mimi's Law and see if we could with everybody, Yeah, exactly,
with ten people on it, we can do something.

Speaker 17 (01:10:47):
And I guess I spoke really without having a full understanding.
So yesterday I spent a good time talking with friends
and family.

Speaker 18 (01:10:56):
Most of my family wears blue, and.

Speaker 17 (01:10:57):
My friends and and I've got the East Hopkins version
in the police department that I go to when I
really want to find it, like when I'm stuck. So
this is what I said the other day. What I
wanted to do is have a have the mandated reporters
be forced to tell the police department in conjunction with dcs.

(01:11:18):
But either way, it's not an or it's not police.
But then I found out yesterday and this is disturbing,
and I want everybody to pay attention. So if let's
say you do call nine one one, the police go
there and they see something, there's the abuse to collect,
they pass it off the DCS. Basically that ball never
gets handed back to the police department. And as we

(01:11:40):
know and see what happens with Connecticut dcs, we are
relying on these people to do thorough investigations, which First
of all, my police friend said that they're not they're
not qualified to like nose type of investigations.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
Because if somebody who's breaking the law, how would they
know it's DCS.

Speaker 17 (01:11:59):
So so what he told me was is that without
them passing the ball back when they're done doing their thing,
their decisions, whatever they came up with. You know, at
least the police department now, whether it's a detective division,
wherever it's it's danced within the departments, they know how
to look at these. They'll be able to review everything
and say like, hey, you know, don't close the case yet.

(01:12:22):
You need to do this, you need to do that.
But I cannot believe that I just assume that police
are involved all the way through once there is.

Speaker 12 (01:12:33):
A report of neglect or abuse.

Speaker 17 (01:12:36):
I got the law that needs to be changed.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Exactly to make.

Speaker 17 (01:12:39):
Sure police are playing as a partner to DCF all
the way to the there is a final report, we're
gonna see both of them sign off on it. Not listen,
they're inconfident. We know that he now needs a local
police department wherever the neglect and abuse took place. And
the last thing I'll ask you, I.

Speaker 6 (01:13:00):
Gotta put you. I gotta put you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
I gotta take I gotta take take a break. I'm sorry, man,
you got it. Man, all right, thanks man, all right,
let's take a break. We'll come back.

E S E on the radio dot com. Yeah, don't forget,
you got to live in the state of Connecticut. And
also you can not have won in the last six months,

(01:17:28):
and you cannot be Roseann. I got this question that's
been bugging me in and I'd just like to ask
the liberals who listen to this program. Let's say we
were holding a protest that said yes Kings, like we

(01:17:49):
were holding a yes Kings protest, and we were passing
our flyers and we were putting them online. Join us
on October nineteenth, the day after the No Kings, you know,
yes Kings the day after and you were going over
the flyer of the people who are contributing to the

(01:18:13):
to the festivities across the country.

Speaker 6 (01:18:17):
You know forty in the state of Connecticut. We were
all holding them the day after your rally.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
And we had, you know, some of the individuals who
were sponsoring him, because we put them all on all
the posters, you know, saying join us and some of
our proud sponsors. Speaking of proud, one of those proud
sponsors is the Proud Boys and the oath Keepers, and
we put that prominently on the poster. We displayed it everywhere.

(01:18:46):
What would you say, would you? What would you say
to us?

Speaker 6 (01:18:49):
What would the reports be in Politico in the New
York Times?

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Oh, we don't have to imagine. But I found something
out on the poster that you got put out for
No Kings on the eighteenth. And I'm trying to figure
out why is this rally for No Kings being sponsored
by the Communist Party USA?

Speaker 12 (01:19:15):
Hmm.

Speaker 6 (01:19:19):
Explain yourself, because you're not communists, are you?

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
Ooh, that's interesting. Let's get another check of weather and traffic.
Mark Christopher is in the VPS traffic center.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
Hey, Mark, it's race on the radio on news talk
A w T. I see, I see.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Hey, Now we are back. Yes, Polly, I did get
the video that you sent me. I've already prepared for
a bunch of other stuff. But I did get the video.
I will watch it, you know what time.

Speaker 4 (01:19:48):
It is.

Speaker 13 (01:19:50):
Nonsense, nonsense, How dare you?

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Katanji Brown Jackson. She was, of course appointed by none
other than Joe Biden. He had promised the American people
that he was going to make sure that a black
woman served on the Supreme Court.

Speaker 6 (01:20:23):
We were told.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
By everyone in the news media within fifteen minutes of
the announcement, how brilliant she was, how clearly this was
the best choice. Ever, how young black girls would see
Katanji Brown Jackson and see themselves in that woman, Which

(01:20:50):
kind of brings us to our point. In oral arguments
about the Voting Rights Act, which was always a law,
the challenge today is about why do we need it?
And what we're learning in this argument is that blacks

(01:21:13):
think alike. That is the debate. Whether you like it
or not, that is the debate. Blacks think like other blacks,
that's it. And if anyone doesn't, I don't know, maybe

(01:21:33):
they're just defective. But that's what this is about. But
what was far worse than all of that, And we'll
have that debate, trust me, it will go on forever
and ever. People will say, but no, we're not a monolift.
But then when it's convenient, we all are. We're treated

(01:21:54):
the same, people see us the same. Oh no, no, no,
that's that's it's a fact. We all are the same,
no matter what. And then get offended when we use
words like black jobs, but don't get offended when.

Speaker 6 (01:22:09):
We hear the words black unemployment.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
But what I've always said about this debate, be it
about reparations, be it about redlining, being it about DEI,
be it about you know, restorative justice, leaner penalties, leniency
when it comes to the criminal justice system, all of

(01:22:36):
that stuff. It is always going back to one thing,
and that is we need to treat blacks specifically. I
don't care what they say about brown people. They don't
mean them blacks because of the original sin of slavery,
our special needs individuals, they are sorry.

Speaker 7 (01:22:58):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Try to spin it all you want, but listen to
Katanji Brown Jackson. It's try to get pasted all the
legal ease, but she is making a case that we
have to understand that black folks being able to vote
for black folks is important access.

Speaker 6 (01:23:19):
Just like a handicapped person getting into a building.

Speaker 19 (01:23:22):
I guess I'm thinking of it of the fact that
remedial action absent discriminatory intent is really not a new
idea in the civil rights laws. And my kind of
paradigmatic example of this is something like the Ada Congress
passed the Americans with Disabilities Act against the backdrop of

(01:23:46):
a world that was generally not accessible to people with disabilities.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
This is a smart woman, obviously qualified to be a court.

Speaker 19 (01:24:00):
Justice, and so it was discriminatory in effect because these
folks were not able to access these buildings.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
Black folks accessing the voter rolls, handicap people getting into buildings,
and the building owner had to remedy that by building ramps.
Smartest woman in the Supreme Court, they told us.

Speaker 19 (01:24:33):
And it didn't matter whether the person who built the
building or the person who owned the building intended for
them to be exclusionary.

Speaker 6 (01:24:42):
That's irrelevant.

Speaker 19 (01:24:43):
Congress said, the facilities have to be made equally open
to people with disabilities, if readily possible.

Speaker 6 (01:24:51):
Now, if she's not saying that, we have to ask ourselves, why.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Is she saying it.

Speaker 6 (01:24:57):
If this isn't what she meant, why she's saying it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Contact matters, Words matter, This is a court case about
the Voters' Rights Act, about African Americans wanting to have
a redistricting measure based upon their race so.

Speaker 6 (01:25:14):
That they can vote for people who look like them.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
And the breakdown is because all black people will vote
for an all black candidate. And if you have a
black district that is majority black, if a black person runs,
the black person will win because the quality of their life,
the view that they have on the world will immediately
supersede anything and everything.

Speaker 6 (01:25:38):
Now, remind all of us. I will remind every.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
One of us at the same time that that is
being made in the Supreme Court. That argument is being
made in the Supreme Court that black folks need other
black voltes to vote for by the sheer measure of
their blackness.

Speaker 6 (01:25:52):
Somebody explained to me how.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
The first black president of the United States endorsed Abigail's Samberger,
a white woman, over win some seers the current black
lieutenant governor of Virginia. Someone explain it. I can't hear you.

(01:26:15):
Barak Hussein Obama is endorsing Abigail Spamburger and not the
black woman win some seers. While they're having this argument
in the Supreme Court.

Speaker 19 (01:26:35):
Okay, I guess I don't understand why that's not what's
happening here. The idea in section two is that we
are responding to current day manifestations of past and present
decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they
don't have equal access to the voting system.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
So anybody who said that she was making a kind
of an analogy, no, no, no direct context. Black folks
are disabled. We have to give them access. But wait, wait,
there's more. Still think I'm stretching.

Speaker 6 (01:27:17):
Okay, right, they're disabled.

Speaker 19 (01:27:19):
In fact, we use the word disabled in Milligan.

Speaker 6 (01:27:22):
We say that's a.

Speaker 19 (01:27:23):
Way in which you see that these processes are not
equally open.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Now, I told you I said this a long time ago,
those who listened to my podcast some three four five
years ago, I told you that was going to be
the case.

Speaker 6 (01:27:43):
I told you that the argument was going to be made.

Speaker 2 (01:27:46):
Because again, it's sort of like it's trying a new
tactic in order to make a broader point. Right, Because
then when it was provable that we couldn't associate blacks
living today with slavery because they were just too far
remote removed from it, that they would try a new
tactic and the new tactic a couple of years ago,

(01:28:07):
five years ago. Do you remember what it was, anybody,
I'll tell you it was generational trauma. It was just
because you were black, you had some sort of lineage
to slavery. It was coursing through your veins. They told us,
I'm not making that up. Oh no, no. They told
us that that that oppression went through the bloodline and

(01:28:30):
you were feeling it too.

Speaker 6 (01:28:31):
That it is a part of your genetic code, they
told us.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
And then that didn't fly because of course the scientists
threw that right out the window, said, yeah, we're not
gonna be able to prove that.

Speaker 6 (01:28:41):
Sorry, they had to throw it out.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
So now now, disability mark what you're gonna say it
to me in a couple of weeks, And dude, how
did you see that coming? Because they had to justify
how stupid this woman is. They'll make that argument. You'll
see it everywhere. Essence Magazine will write an article about it,

(01:29:05):
Soul will Ebony, the Grioh, and every other black publication
will do it. And then the New York Times, once
they hear or get when that people are talking about
it online, they'll get some room at The New York
Times to write an extensive piece as to why, in
some ways African Americans are just like those in wheelchairs.

Speaker 6 (01:29:27):
Just like them, mark my words.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
They need to justify this nonsense. And again, Black people,
you should be offended. You should be offended, but you won't.
You won't because you do not care how bad these
people will disparage you, how much they.

Speaker 6 (01:29:48):
Will marginalize you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
As long as there's a possibility to get a check
at the end of it, you will let them demean
your character. As long as there's a check, you'll let
them say and do anything. It's it's the most abusive
relationship I've ever seen in my entire life. You can't
you listen to me. You can't expect him to do better.

Speaker 7 (01:30:08):
He done.

Speaker 6 (01:30:09):
You can't expect him to do better. That's not what
they do in his neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
No, no, get married, get an ed, get an education,
find a good girl, get married, get a good job.
That's not in them, that's not who they are. No, No,
absolutely not. You can't expect that from them. No, No,
that's there's there's a way, because that's a white thing.

(01:30:33):
And they don't want they don't want to be white.
That's what you wanna hear. I hear it every day.
I've got this audio piece. I'm wondering if I can
play it. Maybe I'll wait until the wait until the break.
I want to listen to it first because I'm hoping
there's no cursing in it. But I gotta, I gotta
play it for you. You get listen this. I'm telling you.

(01:30:54):
There's an exchange between a white liberal woman and a
black conservative woman and two of them are having a
little back and forth.

Speaker 6 (01:31:02):
And this white woman is.

Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
Standing there looking at the black woman, telling her too
of her face. No, ma'am, No, we can't expect black
people to get this and that now they that just
stay isn't fair. They can't do that. That's just not
that's not who they are. And the black people are

(01:31:23):
in there saying, do you not see us right here?
Where are you getting this from black person right here? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
Yeah, I mean I mean not like you. You're different.
You know, you're educated and smart.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Ah, And nobody gets mad, No one gets mad. And
I keep asking myself, it's like, when are you all
gonna get mad? When are you gonna get mad? You
can say stop, stop, stop making fun of me. Stop
diminishing my character. But no, I mean I talk to
these people all day every day, and I'm talking by
people in the black community, and you'll bring this up

(01:32:02):
and someone's like, but that's not true. Yeah, okay, okay,
I'm gonna find this audio for you. I gotta find
it anyway, when we come back, I gotta play this
audio from Oh yeah, sorry, that's not it. What is
this piece that I have here? I totally forgot what

(01:32:25):
it was. I'll get to it in a second. I'll
also preview the Larissa Dolly thing tomorrow. Who she is
and why she's coming on the show tomorrow. We'll talk
a little bit about that as well. And this, Oh
NBC News, I didn't get into that. I'm gonna get
into the details of that NBC News firing that's happening
with all of these organizations, all these sub organizations of

(01:32:49):
NBC News and why they're cutting the department. It has
so much to do with the amount of money they're
losing on them, but the fact that nobody's actually they're
not even checking out these websites or any of these
sort of businesses that NBC has created. We'll talk about
that and much more. Plus we'll talk about the town
hall that happened on CNN with the Kazio Cortes and

(01:33:12):
Bernie Bernie Sanders, Bernie Mac Bernie Sanders as well. We'll
talk about some of that stuff in a minute. Let's
go to Ben in Rocky Hill. How are you, Ben?

Speaker 20 (01:33:23):
I'm doing all right?

Speaker 21 (01:33:24):
How are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
I'm all right? What's up?

Speaker 21 (01:33:27):
I just wanted to know if you listened to yourself talk,
what do you mean? Well, man, I just I tuned in.
I don't usually listen to your show, okay, And you're
getting real angry about Katanji Brown Jackson, and I can't
see what you're so scared of.

Speaker 6 (01:33:47):
Wow, there's talk about some assumptions here, So.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
Let's start off by saying that anger never ever conveys
itself with laughter, because I was laughing my behind though.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 17 (01:34:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
I was?

Speaker 21 (01:34:01):
I was talking about the way you were raising your voice.
It sounds like you're godd enough jumping around shouting about
how they want to be treated special.

Speaker 22 (01:34:10):
But we can't do that, sir.

Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
You said that you've never listened to my show before.

Speaker 21 (01:34:17):
No, I haven't, so you don't know it sounds like
a bunch of racist drivel, and I'm hoping it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
Why am I I'm racist against whom?

Speaker 4 (01:34:27):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:34:27):
No, no, no, no, I'm not saying you're racist. You can
say racist things about being racist.

Speaker 6 (01:34:32):
Okay, So what did I say that was racist?

Speaker 21 (01:34:35):
So you're repeating a lot of talking points talking about
how like all of these notions of reparations are bogus.
And I'm not sure if you know that you're just
kind of parroting the same lines that.

Speaker 6 (01:34:51):
Okay, hold on, Ben, can I can I hold you
over for a couple of minutes?

Speaker 21 (01:35:00):
No guarantee, I'll be here when you get.

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
Back to the R. But Ben, come on, this is important.
I think you need to learn something about me that
you may not have known.

Speaker 6 (01:35:07):
Can you hold on?

Speaker 17 (01:35:08):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:35:09):
No, I'll tell you in a second. Stand by, Let's
get a checker weather and traffic, and let's.

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
Give Ben the surprise of his life when we returned.
Mark Christopher's in the BPS traffick sender, Hey Mark, Hey
Reech good at.

Speaker 5 (01:35:22):
PISA on the radio, is on WTIC news talk.

Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
All right, Roland, Ben can hear me even though he's
on hold right?

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
Correct?

Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
He can hear me.

Speaker 7 (01:35:31):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
So, Ben, before I pick up the phone, I just
want to say something to you real quick, okay. So
the show's called Rees on the Radio is on from
two to six pm Monday through Friday right here on
WTIC News Talk ten eighty to fifty thousand watt behemen, sir.
I'm I'm fifty six years old, two months and two days.
I was born and raised in Hollis, Queens. I went

(01:35:53):
to Andrew Jackson High School. My mother was a single
parent with five kids. She had a couple of HUDs
here and there. And I have always, by my entire time,
been a black man on welfare as a child and
was homeless for three years, always living in the hood.
So if there's anybody who's in authority on reparations and

(01:36:15):
authority on the slave of slavery of my ancestors, because
of my grandfather who lived through the Jim Crow era
and his grandfather who lived through slavery, I think that
I have the authority to talk about what goes on
in the black community. I am no racist, sir, I'm
a truth teller. Now I'll give you an opportunity to speak.

(01:36:36):
You have two minutes, Ben.

Speaker 12 (01:36:42):
Hi bench man, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
Come on, No, no, Ben, I just want to say
you thought that there was some white man on the
air talking about Katanji Brown Jackson who was being a bigot.

Speaker 6 (01:36:52):
No, but of course you know I'm you know, I'm black.

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
So tell me why it is that you think that
what I said was racial.

Speaker 12 (01:37:03):
Whether you're black or not doesn't mean you.

Speaker 7 (01:37:05):
Can't, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
In order for it to be racial, I can't be
the same race as the person I'm talking about.

Speaker 12 (01:37:11):
Oh oh, so I can't be homophobic because I'm gay.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
No, sir, that's not what I said. That's different. See, yeah,
I'll tell you. In fact, you know you can't. How
about this one. How about this one?

Speaker 6 (01:37:21):
I'll answer it differently.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
You can't be homophobic if you're gay. Hold on, you
can't be homophobic if you're gay, because to be homophobic
means that you yeah, i'll explain, means that you have
a fear of the thing that you are.

Speaker 12 (01:37:34):
Okay, So you're telling me that I can't be homophobic.

Speaker 6 (01:37:38):
Because are you afraid of being? Are you afraid of homosexuals?

Speaker 12 (01:37:43):
Oh? Now we're splitting hairs about it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:44):
No, sir, that's what phobia means. That's phobic an irrational fear?

Speaker 2 (01:37:49):
Do you have an irrational fear of homosexuals even though
you are one?

Speaker 6 (01:37:52):
That means you are afraid of yourself?

Speaker 18 (01:37:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:37:56):
For many years I was. Actually it was very hard.

Speaker 6 (01:37:59):
Okay, all right, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
So, so what's your problem with what I said about
Katanji Brown Jackson?

Speaker 6 (01:38:05):
Are you going to tell me?

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
Ben? Ben? Are you trying to tell me that Katanji
bron Jackson is brilliant? Is that what you're trying to
tell me? That she's smart?

Speaker 12 (01:38:14):
Why do you just make up strong?

Speaker 6 (01:38:15):
You didn't answer my question? Is she smart?

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (01:38:18):
You haven't answered one of mine either.

Speaker 6 (01:38:19):
Yeah, I'm in the host here. Is she smart?

Speaker 2 (01:38:22):
Sir?

Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
You're the one defending.

Speaker 12 (01:38:24):
Mister big powerful host man. I apologize?

Speaker 23 (01:38:27):
Oh so great you.

Speaker 12 (01:38:31):
I love this guy my deepest.

Speaker 6 (01:38:34):
No, No, it's okay, listen. You didn't answer my question.
Is Katanji Brown Jackson smart?

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Is she brilliant?

Speaker 12 (01:38:40):
She's smart? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:38:41):
Tell me why.

Speaker 12 (01:38:44):
I would argue anybody who can make it all the
way through law school and become a Supreme Court justice?
Is you know, at least a little bit smart? I
don't have to like them as a person.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
Oh so we can assume they're smart. We don't have
to show any evidence. So she got through law school.
That means that she's smart.

Speaker 12 (01:39:00):
Is that not evidence?

Speaker 6 (01:39:02):
No, sir, no, it is not. That's not how we
work evidence.

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
Yet, if you were in a court of law, if
you're in a court of law, do you think that
you could just present her degree and that would be
the end of it.

Speaker 12 (01:39:12):
No, but I think I couldn't practice law without a degree.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
Great argument, but I don't think that'll fly here. But
that you know what, Ben, It's okay. I want more
of you because I'm not homophobic.

Speaker 6 (01:39:23):
Stay on the line.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
We'll be back with Ben in a little bit and
we'll find out more intriguing things about his homophobia of himself.
He must be afraid of his own shadow too. When
we return, here's Mark Christopher. He's in a BPS traffick
BBO traffic center.

Speaker 15 (01:39:40):
Mark, don't scare anybody. Well, I'll tell you what. I'm
afraid of my shadow. I have a pretty big shadow.

Speaker 5 (01:39:46):
The NAACP calls him, WHOA.

Speaker 1 (01:39:50):
I don't think it's rece on the radio. Let's just
say some people are not fans a news Talk ten
eighty WT.

Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
I se oh man like you know, sometimes when you
have stuff planned, you know, things the elders don't go
to your way. I told you, folks, it says see
to your pants kind of Thursday or Negro nonsense.

Speaker 6 (01:40:09):
So Ben is here, and Ben, I gotta give it
to you.

Speaker 3 (01:40:11):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:40:11):
If I may, I'm gonna applaud you.

Speaker 7 (01:40:13):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
I love you for sticking it out.

Speaker 12 (01:40:19):
I mean, honestly, I'm always intrigued by someone who doesn't
have the same opinions I do, because, frankly, the way
I see the world makes sense to me, and the
way you see the world makes sense to you. And
I want to figure out how we diverged so much.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Well, yes, but you seem to have Oh how am
I gonna put this kindly? You seem to be desirous
of promoting Katanji Brown Jackson in this case as a
brilliant person, and I almost hold on, And I almost
feel like it's primarily because she's black, which for me

(01:40:51):
immediately disqualifies hold on, disqualifies your praise. And let me
explain why.

Speaker 6 (01:40:57):
Okay, it ain't it's not enough as a black man.
I'm just telling you from where I stand, it ain't
enough for me as a black person.

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
To just go all out praising somebody, and the first
problem that everybody sees is the black thing, or the
first thing that they wish to praise is that she's
a black person who did such and such, and judge,
if you're a person who is brilliant in what you do,
those things should be like should be seen around the

(01:41:26):
corner before they ever see your face. And I've tried
to explain this to a lot of people who are
critical of me. They say, well, Rach, you're here because
you're black, or Rach, you've done this because you're black.
And I'm going, that's funny because most of the people
who talk about me, who have ever said anything about me,
never mention my race.

Speaker 6 (01:41:41):
They go, God, you gotta hear this guy because of this.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
That and the third, I've always said something that completely
supersedes what I am as far as my color is concerned.
I find myself interesting beyond the scope of color.

Speaker 6 (01:41:53):
Because that's the least interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:41:55):
No, no, no, don't be proud of me. It's the least
interesting thing about me.

Speaker 6 (01:41:58):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:41:59):
And when I say lee, it's the least like bottom
of the barrel interesting about me. So when I see
Katanji brown Jackson, and people are only talking about her
race at the start, when I'm first introduced to her,
I know that beyond that surface level that she's garbage.

Speaker 6 (01:42:16):
Everything about is garbage.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
And then she makes this ridiculous argument that I've been
talking about for twenty years, the idea that there are
people who see blacks as disabled, which is the ridiculousness
that a lot of these race baters keep trying to
push the rest of us. They've run out of ideas.
We're descendants of slaves, we have a generational trauma. Now

(01:42:39):
we're disabled, and it offends me. And the fact that
people won't stand up and say stop disrespecting black men
and women in this way, suggesting that they don't have
agency or control of their own destiny. I've had enough.
So to then say that I'm being racial because I
wish to prop up black people as saying they're just
as good as anybody else baffles me.

Speaker 6 (01:43:01):
So now explain yourself, all right.

Speaker 12 (01:43:04):
Okay, a couple couple points to what you said so far.
I'm not saying Kanji brown Jackson is great. This is
actually one of my most fundamental issues with most of
what you say on your show. From what I've heard
is you create straw man arguments. You say that I'm
trying to promote Katanji Brown Jackson as amazing. That's not

(01:43:26):
what I'm actually trying to do. I'm wondering why you
have such a problem with her, and you say it's because,
like you, you want people to believe that black people
are not.

Speaker 6 (01:43:37):
Because she's I'll answer your question. Let me answer it,
and I'll let you finish.

Speaker 2 (01:43:40):
What my problem is with Kanji Brown Jackson is being No,
I'm gonna let you finish. I'm just gonna answer the
question you asked, or you pose the problem I have
with Kadanji Brown Jackson real quick.

Speaker 12 (01:43:50):
No, No, you get to say three things.

Speaker 6 (01:43:52):
I only say that. I'll just answer the question.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
She diminishes black people and thinks it's helping. That's my
problem with her.

Speaker 12 (01:43:59):
Now go ahead, Okay, Okay, So you say that Kanji
Brown Jackson diminishes black people. So let's let's not make
this about her, because frankly, I'm not qualified to talk
about her. But let's let me just ask you. Why
why do you think reparations are bad? Idea?

Speaker 2 (01:44:15):
Okay, I'll tell you an old story I like to
tell Al Sharpton and Thomas Soul are at Sylvia's having
dinner and they're talking about their their grandfathers, and al
Sharpton says to Thomas Soul, hey, do you know that
my grandfather and your grandfather used to sell drugs right

(01:44:39):
here in Harlem? And they and they go yeah, and
he goes, well, you know, before they died, your grandfather
owed my grandfather one hundred dollars. Would it be proper
for al Sharpton to ask Thomas Soul for that one
hundred dollars?

Speaker 4 (01:44:58):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (01:44:58):
So that's actually an interesting legal idea if the children
can be forced to inherit the deaths of their parents,
and societies would say, yeah, that's okay. In general, it
seems that we're mostly against that these days, because you
can do some truly horrible things to people that way.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
But what does this have to do with I'll tell
you if we're going no, not in the metaphorical, What
does this have to do with the Actually, I'll tell you.

Speaker 6 (01:45:24):
I'll be happy to tell you. I have to tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:45:26):
So reparations would be, like, you know, like a class
action lawsuit.

Speaker 6 (01:45:30):
Would that be fair to suggest it?

Speaker 24 (01:45:33):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
Okay, So a class action lawsuit. Let's use class action lawsuits.
My favorite one to mention is me so filiomo, right,
and if you've ever seen any no, yeah, if your
loved one, you know that right exactly exactly, so.

Speaker 6 (01:45:48):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
So technically let's use let's use slavery like you would
me so filiomo. Generally, you would have to prove that
you were directly affected by my slavery in order for
you to receive reparations. Like if you were in California
and your family has lived there all their life, you
couldn't find reparations in that state because that state didn't own.

Speaker 6 (01:46:09):
Any slaves or have any slavery.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
Why how would you pos how would you possibly find
individuals for slavery in a state that never had any?

Speaker 12 (01:46:20):
But you know, we have like genetic testing and stuff
like I can trace my ancestry back to fucking a
blob of land on a step somewhere, like we have
the technology.

Speaker 2 (01:46:32):
To do this, and what if that geneticism on?

Speaker 12 (01:46:35):
Hold on, If your problem with reparations is that, oh no,
we might give people some money who don't need it,
is that really so bad?

Speaker 6 (01:46:47):
Are you certainly bad?

Speaker 12 (01:46:48):
If you get an extra thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
Actually, well, you're talking about an extra thousand dollars. But
I'll go one step further. I'll go one step further. Okay,
Let's say you were to do a genetic breakdown for
each individual, and let's say, you know, we do it
in a twenty three and meters sort of way, and
we find out that the person who is dark skin
it only has fifty percent African American traits. And the

(01:47:12):
person who was the slaveholder no longer exists in the country.
How does that person collect? Like the slave owner's family
is completely deceased, there is no lineage to speak of,
how does that individual get paid back? Who pays?

Speaker 12 (01:47:29):
So the idea of reparations isn't that it's the direct
families of the slave owners in general, it's us accepting
collective responsibility.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
I love it.

Speaker 12 (01:47:41):
Yeah, you're loving it. I know, because you're about to
bring up the monster in the room that we all
love to hate taxes.

Speaker 6 (01:47:47):
No, actually, I wasn't.

Speaker 12 (01:47:49):
Why should you pay? Why should you pay for someone
else's reparation?

Speaker 7 (01:47:52):
Sir?

Speaker 6 (01:47:53):
I need you look.

Speaker 2 (01:47:55):
This is the part that I always tell people that
they get themselves, they paint themselves into a corner. I'm
really really good at this. I'm really good at this.

Speaker 6 (01:48:02):
So let's say, okay, let's say.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
That there are fifty percent of Americans, white Americans in
the country who believe that reparations are fair. Okay, let's
say there is.

Speaker 6 (01:48:15):
Let's in fact, let's go one step further.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
Let's say you have fifty percent of all white Americans
who say, yes, we should return reparations to those who
were aggrieved during slavery in this country. I've only got
one answer.

Speaker 12 (01:48:27):
For you.

Speaker 2 (01:48:29):
Pay them. Then you fifty two percent who believe that
reparations should be paid, dig deep in your pockets and
pay collectively all fifty two percent of you.

Speaker 6 (01:48:42):
Well, no, don't wait for the government. Don't wait for
the government. Don't wait for anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:48:47):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 12 (01:48:49):
How how is fifty fifty two percent of the country
supposed to collectively mobilize with how the government?

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
Dig deep in your pocket?

Speaker 6 (01:48:56):
Create a fund? You don't need the government to do that.

Speaker 12 (01:48:59):
Not getting the money, not getting the money organized?

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
Oh, organizing it's supposed to be.

Speaker 12 (01:49:03):
The vehicle to organize this, and then the money comes
from the taxes. That's how that works.

Speaker 2 (01:49:07):
Oh no, no, no, see that's different because now you
see taxes means that everybody, even the forty eight percent
who are opposed to would get to pay.

Speaker 6 (01:49:15):
But I believe is individual freedom.

Speaker 2 (01:49:17):
Forty eight percent should say I don't think that they
deserve reparations, and I'm not giving them a dime, which
is exactly the reason why we've never been able to
pass legislation to do it, because nobody would ever hang
their hat on the idea that people who are not
responsible for slavery would pay a group of people who
did not in any way fee feel any of the
trauma or deal with any of the effects of slavery.

Speaker 12 (01:49:40):
Okay, so this is actually very similar to something I
think we should do, which is we should get to
pick where our taxes go. For example, I don't want
to give a dime to the Department of Defense. I
don't give a shit what they're calling now. I don't
want my money to go killing Palestinian children. I should
be allowed to do that, but I'm not. I have
to pay for the wars that we're fighting overseas. I

(01:50:03):
have to pay for the welfare of people who are
working for Walmart in Alabama. I already have to pay
for things that I don't want my money going to.
So why is this any different?

Speaker 6 (01:50:13):
Okay, fine, you know what, You're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (01:50:15):
So who now gets to determine that reparations gets added
on to those taxes?

Speaker 6 (01:50:19):
Who's deciding that now?

Speaker 12 (01:50:21):
Who's deciding the taxes?

Speaker 2 (01:50:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:50:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
In other words, so okay, So taxes are generally like
there's a coalition that people in essence to say that
this is a tax. A perfect example of that is
how did Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act come to be?

Speaker 6 (01:50:33):
Yeah, John Roberts.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
But by the way, Barack Obama saying that it wasn't
at tax, it wasn't a tax, but in order to
get it across the finish line, John Roberts, Supreme Court
justice turns it into a tax, which in essence gives
license to the to the government to be able to
collect it. Right.

Speaker 6 (01:50:46):
So that's how it passes the finish line. So my
question to.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
You is this on the reparations deal, who gets to
decide that this is now an added tax.

Speaker 6 (01:50:54):
To the to the citizens? Who makes that decision?

Speaker 12 (01:50:58):
Well, in a perfect world, the people thank you in actuality.
And also here's the thing, like, this is a democracy.
The idea is a system where.

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
Republics are, where constitutional republics.

Speaker 12 (01:51:13):
Are, arguably in my lifetime because of Citizens United, we're
just a plutocracy. Let's not pretend.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
Okay, I'm not pretending. I'm just calling it what it is.
But okay, you're saying that it should be left to
the citizens. Are you suggesting that we should be able.

Speaker 12 (01:51:25):
To vote on it, putting reparations up to a vote? Yes, sir, sure, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:51:31):
Okay, so that's all I'm asking.

Speaker 2 (01:51:33):
My question is is that there have been several Democrat
majorities with Democrat presidents from Barack Obama, the first half
black Joe Biden who got eighty one million votes in
twenty twenty, and it's never been addressed. It's talked about
during what during the race, but never implemented during why not?
And again, you guys appear to be the most you know,

(01:51:56):
the most progressive.

Speaker 12 (01:51:58):
And you guys, well you can call me gay, but.

Speaker 6 (01:52:05):
Jesus, my apologies, my apologies.

Speaker 12 (01:52:08):
You seem to be under the like conception that I
also like the Democrats. They're they're also bad. I don't
like them either. Oh that's the thing, is like you
and me having this conversation look, I don't I don't
care what party you're affiliated with, but the fact that
it's split along, I have to either go along with fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:52:32):
Okay, okay, we got, we've got Okay, you're on the radio.

Speaker 12 (01:52:37):
Yeah, i'll stop, I'll stop. I'll say your show from
the sensors. But no, Look, I think the Democrats haven't
done shit about it because it's much more profitable for
them to just pretend make campaign promises and then not deliver.
They're politicians, same as the rest of them. Reparations shouldn't
be said. We shouldn't be like, yeah, reparations are bad

(01:52:59):
because the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Reparations are bad because it pays people for things.

Speaker 6 (01:53:08):
They didn't endure.

Speaker 2 (01:53:09):
That's the reason why they're bad, And it's it's that's
it's that simple reparation. Because I'll tell you why, because
I did not pick one bit of cotton. I was
born in nineteen sixty nine, not in eighteen sixty nine,
and I cannot in any way ask someone who wasn't
born during that time, because they're not alive today to

(01:53:31):
pay for something they did not benefit from. And just
because I think it's a moral issue that they should
be responsible for in essence that they should feel guilty
about it in some way even though they had they're
not culpable. Is unfair. It's unreasonable. It's not even unfair.
It's just unreasonable for me to expect anybody else to
pay out of their pocket for me to get something

(01:53:52):
for a benefit that I never in essence, not even
that a trauma or an experience I never had.

Speaker 12 (01:54:00):
Okay, So, yeah, you didn't pick cotton, But didn't you
tell me at the beginning of this how you.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
Grew up in the hood because of my mother's poor choices.

Speaker 12 (01:54:11):
Okay, but the existence of hoods in general, you do
understand how that came about.

Speaker 2 (01:54:18):
Yes, because of people like my mother's poor choices. Father,
my grandfather owned hold on. My grandfather owned a home,
my mother. Both of them out of the military. My
grandmother was a registered nurse. She worked in Queen's They
owned their own home for over forty years. They were
a very prominent member of their community. My mother, on

(01:54:38):
the other hand, was kind of a hipster who went
out and partied during the flower Child era of the
nineteen sixties the late sixties, got pregnant and again made
poor choices. She could have done the same thing that
my grandmother about and they lived in worse times. So
her choices are the reason why we lived in the hood.

Speaker 12 (01:54:56):
But if we zoom out for a second, the hood
didn't exist because of you bad choices.

Speaker 2 (01:55:01):
Yes, it did before the whole hood, Yes, exactly because
of poor choices. Yes, because of poor choices. Yes, because
of poor choices. Yes, it's called it's not made up.
It's not. Listen, Ben, and I love chatting with you.

Speaker 6 (01:55:19):
You can call up any time. But it's not made up.

Speaker 2 (01:55:22):
People make choices, human beings are human, pans are responsible.
But I love talking to you. I gotta go. We'll
talk to Ben another time. We'll get let's get another
check of whether in traffic mar Chris Rhys in the
BPS traffic center, anymark.

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
To Carleen on the phone, let's get to it. It's
Hollywood news. What y'all correspondent ever Sa on the radio,
all the butts and all the glamor. It's Hollywood News

(01:56:19):
in today's edition of Hollywood News.

Speaker 6 (01:56:21):
Folks.

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
I saw this story because Hollywood is running out of ideas,
and in order to do that, they've got to go
into a whole bunch of different directions in order to
get butts into seats. So lately they have been running
into the idea of grabbing Saturday morning cartoons and coming

(01:56:42):
up with movies, you.

Speaker 6 (01:56:44):
Know, like Masters of the University, he Man movie.

Speaker 2 (01:56:47):
You know, they are already doing Sonic the Hedgehog, which
used to be a Saturday morning cartoon as well as
a video game. Well, they've decided to go another route,
and I want to see whether or not you folks
remember this. I know you remember that. Roland's right. That's right, folks.

(01:57:12):
Hollywood has decided that they are going to do a
live action movie of The Jetsons, the original nineteen sixty
two series that ran until sixty three. It returned together
in the nineteen eighties for two season and got an
animated film in nineteen ninety. Now they're going to do
another movie, a live action version of it. And you

(01:57:35):
will bug out because they've decided that the person who
is going to play the lead character, George Jetson, is
none other than this guy. Ladies and gentlemen, tell me
if you're feeling it. George Jetson played by Jim Carrey.

(01:58:00):
What do you think, Rowland? That's what do you think?
Jim Carrey as George Jetson. Let's get to the yes,
traffic et cetera. What do you think, Mark, what do
you think? Do you think that's uh, that's a good choice.
I would definitely, I would definitely see it.

Speaker 7 (01:58:23):
Just for that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
Everybody has in the room going no, no.

Speaker 15 (01:58:29):
Will relate to the traffic report.

Speaker 2 (01:58:34):
What do you have those sound effects on you?

Speaker 15 (01:58:37):
Whe Georgia flying to spacely sprockets Oh, and I think
that caller from Roxbury, Connecticut, which is open the northwestern
part of the state.

Speaker 2 (01:58:46):
Yes, exactly ro Oh Is it Roxbury, Connecticut not Roxbury, Massachusetts?

Speaker 15 (01:58:51):
Yeah, Okay, I think I could be wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
We'll find out, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:58:56):
Whose draft de party is being brought to you by on.

Speaker 5 (01:58:58):
The radio newst I see a lot of stuff going
on behind the scenes, and that's the reason why you
should you should go.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
To res onradio dot com or just joining us on Facebook,
or actually you can listen to the commentary that goes
on in the background. Let's get to the phones real quick.
Of course, the phone is lit up after my conversation
with Ben. Carlene is calling from Roxbury. From now on,
I'm being told Roxbury in Connecticut.

Speaker 6 (01:59:22):
Is that correct, Carlen?

Speaker 25 (01:59:24):
That is correct Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (01:59:25):
I was really really hopeful that somebody all the way up.

Speaker 6 (01:59:28):
In Boston was calling. I love Boston, so my apologies.
That's okay, that's not on you.

Speaker 2 (01:59:35):
How are you today?

Speaker 25 (01:59:37):
I'm doing terrific. My husband and I love your show
and we're so happy you're in Connecticut.

Speaker 6 (01:59:43):
Thank you. What's going on with you?

Speaker 4 (01:59:46):
Well?

Speaker 25 (01:59:46):
Your subject on reparations really got my juices flowing today. Okay,
there were other groups that have faced discriminations in this country.
I'm a talent. I'm half Italian American and my great
grandfather came over from Naples illegally through Ellis Island, and

(02:00:07):
at that time, the Irish controlled the docks, and the
discrimination against the Italians was terrible, and he was beaten
and left for dead. And my mother's family had no
love for the Irish and it wasn't only you know.
The situation was like great grandfather, but in large port

(02:00:28):
because of the Irish, the Italians had to live in
the Italian ghetto. So they were limited in terms of
where they could live, they were limited in terms of
their education. And I grew up hearing these stories from
my grandmother and her relatives, and.

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
Yeah, it's interesting. It's interesting if somebody is listening to
your story, right, And as they always ask us to
do right, they always ask us to be open minded.
And as you just described with your your grandfather, you
said right, for I got that right, your grandfather, great grandfather.
I apologize, great grandfather. I listened to that story, and
then I go, I remember that scene in A Time

(02:01:08):
to Kill when Matthew McConaughey is talking about how the
girl is thrown over the bridge and she's abused and
all that stuff, and at the end he says, now,
imagine she was black, you know, And that's a great line,
because I'm listening to your story and I'm going eliminate
the race and just listen to you tell that story, Carlen,
about your great grandfather, about him only being allowed to

(02:01:31):
live in certain areas and black folks will tell you redlining,
talk about the jobs that they were able to have
and not have.

Speaker 6 (02:01:39):
They would say the same.

Speaker 2 (02:01:39):
Thing, and they almost literally not a one, not one
thing is dissimilar, right, It's like the same story.

Speaker 6 (02:01:46):
The only thing that they would say different in the case.

Speaker 2 (02:01:49):
It was just like they would say, you know, slavery,
what about the you know, the the beating or you
know the intentioned indentured servitude. You know what, No, absolutely
no argument. But your great grandfather who got here from
Ellis Island at that particular time, there is no slavery at.

Speaker 6 (02:02:06):
That particular time.

Speaker 2 (02:02:07):
African Americans are flourishing in places and this is the
park that people forget and they don't know this. When
your great grandfather came here through Ellis Island, there was Tulsa, Oklahoma,
and there was Jackson, Mississippi. And in fact, i'm learning
now countless areas of black productivity and business ownership was

(02:02:29):
flourishing through the likes and the and the tutelage of
a guy named A Booker T. Washington were prominent. And
Harlem the Renaissance, the Black Renaissance era of Harlem in
New York City, when your grandfather had to live in
Italian ghettos. African Americans were living in Brooklyn, Yes, yes,

(02:02:54):
And that's the reason why. I mean, if you look
at places like Bench and Hearsts and and all of
those areas, while those are still predominantly is because those
are the outskirts in which they had to live. Now, sure,
sure enough, just like every other group of people, the
area that you're fudge forced to live in, you make
work right, you turn it into a flourishing, you know,
utopia for lack of a better word. People open up

(02:03:16):
restaurants where they serve the people who come to the restaurant.
They also employed the people who were there who can't
get jobs another place. They made things work. But that's
the part that people are forgetting. It didn't just happen
for Italians. It didn't just happen for Irish. It also
happened for African Americans in Harlem because they owned businesses
up there as well. And I would implore anyone to

(02:03:37):
go pick up what is it one hundred Years of
Harlem from Time magazine, which goes through one hundred years
from I think nineteen oh one.

Speaker 6 (02:03:49):
Until one hundred.

Speaker 2 (02:03:50):
Years, and that shows what Harlem used to look like
when the Black Renaissance was there, and you wouldn't even
know it that that place was what it was. You
wouldn't even know it.

Speaker 25 (02:04:01):
You're you're absolutely right. And my great grandfather he you know,
he he couldn't read or write, never learned English. But
that man gaves enough money to buy a brownstone in
that Italian ghetto. It was a three it was. It
was a three family apartment.

Speaker 2 (02:04:20):
That's incredible.

Speaker 25 (02:04:21):
They made it work.

Speaker 2 (02:04:22):
And the crazy part about it is, Carleen, his poverty
and illiteracy still turned into a sort of a growth
from your family in essence for a guy who comes
to the country in essence, he's the patriarch of it,
takes all of that lack of education, buys a home
and then turns out you can pass that on to

(02:04:44):
every generation which does better than him as the years
go by.

Speaker 25 (02:04:49):
Oh, his children and grandchildren how to be educated? They
had to learn English. You spoke Italian in the home, right,
but you learned English.

Speaker 2 (02:04:59):
Do you remember the day, is Carlen, when they used
to ask on the little forms, they used to ask
what language do you speak at home? Remember? They used
to ask that it's I used to remember filling out
a form saying what language do you speak at home?
And my other one was I'll never forget one of
these millennial kids says, what's your daytime phone number? And
the kid looked at me and said, what the hell

(02:05:20):
is that. I'm like, oh Jesus, not gonna explain that
to him. They those things that they wouldn't even know.
But then again, it's kind of a part of the course. Carlen,
thank you for sharing your story with us. I appreciate
you calling on. I know that you're not a regular caller,
but I'm glad that you this piqued.

Speaker 6 (02:05:36):
Your interest today. Than you got it? You got it. Uh,
let's go to Dave and Lynchfield. Hello Dave, Hello Reese.

Speaker 23 (02:05:47):
You let that guy stay on a long time, and
I know why because he's entertaining if nothing else. Oh, yes,
he sure is, if he even if he doesn't have
critical thinking skills. First of all, we do have reps
for slaver. It's called welfare and unmitigated disaster. And also
it's also helping to keep the poor whites and Appalachia
down too. But you know, I remember look on high

(02:06:11):
school in my freshman English class. I think it was
English led. We had to read Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. Yeah,
who I was criticized as being historically inaccurate. I had
two uncles who It was a two family house that
lived in one uncle his family lived on one side and
the other one with the other side. One uncle was
and worked at post office for forty years. When he retired,

(02:06:33):
he didn't talk about it, but I think he's a
very wealthy man because he bought himself a new car
every other year. In nineteen eighty six he bought himself
a new suv. He bought himself to his new wife
he had just gotten married, a new car, and several
years in a row, the early nineties and a late nineties,
he bought new cars and suv three years in a row.
Every year he bought himself a new vehicle. And he

(02:06:54):
didn't buy like Calax or Lincolns. He bought like Conda, Tota, Ford, Chevy, Dodge.
And he hunted fish. He spent time in this rod
and gun club. He bought these not super expensive but
moderle price, manly high price shotguns. He'd shoot trap sure.
The other uncle fixed radio equipment. You see these electronic technicians,
so there's no money in it. Well, actually, I'm looking

(02:07:15):
at my appetite. It's flow mesa in my apartment. Here,
a little single you know, it has vacuum tubes and
all the amplifiers that are decent quality for electric guitars
the mid price and higher and had vacum tubes. They
need to be replaced, needs to be repaired. If I
had been taught what they knew, I could have been
retired by now I'm about your age, I'm a little younger.
But instead we're leading. We were learning worthless garbage in

(02:07:40):
our schools like iven home. No, No, that's nobody's ever
going to look at your resume. But I read.

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):
You know what that and again I think that what
you're talking about here is that rise of intellectualism that
became so important to our area, into our uh, to
our society. There's a lot of complaints in the mid
nineties that people weren't intellectual and everyone had to be,

(02:08:10):
and they were sort of marginalizing skilled work.

Speaker 6 (02:08:16):
They started.

Speaker 2 (02:08:17):
Actually, and I'm gonna go back to the movies when
I say it, I remember growing up and someone who
was a janitor was kind of put upon as if
it was a nothing job. And I remember talking to
my first custodian or janitor for that matter, and him

(02:08:38):
explaining saying to me, and there's the greatest line he
ever said, Dave. He says, Na, Man, I don't want
anybody to know how good this job is.

Speaker 6 (02:08:47):
Let them keep downing it. There won't be.

Speaker 2 (02:08:50):
That many and we can keep doing it because if
everybody knows, everybody's gonna want to do it. And I
used to say, well, wait a minute, if it's a
florin flourishing career, people should know about it.

Speaker 6 (02:08:59):
He goes, Na Man, and shut your mouth.

Speaker 7 (02:09:02):
Can't.

Speaker 6 (02:09:02):
We can't have everybody doing this.

Speaker 23 (02:09:05):
You know what, though, I'm gonna make this point before
you go. We do what we need reparations. And here's
the reparation. You need to be taught financial literacy because
my uncle worked in the post office, worked crazy hours.
Do you ever watch Shark Tank? They tell you Mark
Cuban was telling one contestant, you know, he says, I'll
give you the money, we'll invest in your in your
in your idea, but you gotta want. I remember when
I was building my empires, well, a young lady I

(02:09:26):
was dating said, hey, you know, we never spend time
together anymore. Mark, what's going on? And I said to her,
I'm sorry, what was your name? So he worked crazy
hours in the post office and he just stashed his money. Yeah,
and you got to buy assets. You gotta. I mean,
if you invest in mutual funds and you start when
you're in your early twenties, by the time in your
mid sixties, you'd be a multimillionaire. They we taught you

(02:09:47):
that school.

Speaker 2 (02:09:48):
And that's because we have a needed now society that
you know, there's not a lot of interest in saving.
And then you know, I'll tell a story about that. Dave,
thank you so much, man, I appreciate you.

Speaker 6 (02:10:00):
Dave.

Speaker 2 (02:10:00):
BIG's a very, very valid point. And I tell this story.
I tell the story to a lot of my kids,
and they've grown up knowing this story, and I think
it's the reason why the boy doesn't like money all
that much. It was this young girl name I can't
remember her name, but let's just call her Lydia for

(02:10:22):
the sake of the story. She worked with me at
Logistics Worldwide, this company I worked with in New York.
She's young Puerto Rican girl, lived on the Lower East
Side and she would come in she was a receptionist,
but she would come in every sort of week with
something new on. She would have a serling jacket that
was like, you know, three four hundred dollars.

Speaker 6 (02:10:43):
She would have these, you know, these boots that had.

Speaker 2 (02:10:45):
Fur on them, and a very very expensive Now, again,
being the operations manager, I know how much this young
girl made. And she's paying for her own school. She's
not she's not getting any grants or anything like that
to go to school. So I know she's paying all
of this money for all of this expensive stuff. And
I looked at her and I said, you know, Lydia,
you know, look, you live in the Lower East Side.
You know you're spending a lot of money on.

Speaker 6 (02:11:08):
This, you know, fancy stuff.

Speaker 23 (02:11:10):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:11:10):
Don't you ever think about saving money just so you know,
if you have the money, maybe you should put it
into a bank account to save it for a rainy day.
And she goes, you don't understand why people in the
hood buy the expensive stuff that they buy. And I go, no,
Like why she goes, because we could die tomorrow. I
could die tomorrow and I will never have it. And

(02:11:31):
I was like, damn, what a way to look at it.
What a way to look at your life, that you
spend all of that money because you may not be
here to celebrate it tomorrow. And then I grabbed my
heart and I collapsed to the floor.

Speaker 6 (02:11:45):
And I said, oh, I think I'm dying.

Speaker 2 (02:11:48):
I think I'm dying. I'm so glad I bought these boots,
to which she got really really upset and stopped talking
to me for about a week. I'm sorry, but that's
the way these kids look life, if you really want
to understand it. And I think Dave makes a good point,
think about some of these kids who live in the
inner city. Think about some of these families who live

(02:12:09):
in the inner city. It's not like they can't take
the money that they do have, or even the money
that they're receiving, and find a way to save a
little put a little nest egg on the side so
they can get out of whatever situation that they're in.
They can get off the door. It becomes self sufficient,
they could. It's possible if they just wait it out.
You can be on welfare for twenty years and you

(02:12:30):
save enough money you don't never have to worry about
welfare alone ever again. But ask the reason why, and
it's usually a very fatalist response that it can old.

Speaker 6 (02:12:41):
I can die tomorrow. There's no hope for the future.

Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
A lot of reasons why these young kids are doing
the things that they're doing every day if you ask
them why they behave so recklessly.

Speaker 6 (02:12:51):
I mean, you know, you.

Speaker 2 (02:12:52):
Ever see these videos, the CCTV videos of the kids
shooting each other in the middle of the street, just
wildly shooting, like you ever see that?

Speaker 6 (02:13:04):
You look at it, I was like, damn, that's reckless.

Speaker 2 (02:13:06):
Those of you who own guns, who fire guns, You
look at the way these kids right guns, like, who
would do that? It just seems so ridiculous and crazy stuff,
Like what hope do they have again? Looking at it
from that view of saying nobody's promised tomorrow, Oh, it's
just weird. I tell my wife every day when she's driving,

(02:13:30):
slow down, I have a future.

Speaker 6 (02:13:34):
We take a break, We'll be back one news more views.

Speaker 2 (02:13:37):

Speaker 2 (02:14:08):
You can call it an all points bulletin on Victor Velasquez,
who appears to be the owner of eighteen count of
eighteen of Optimo car washes, fourteen in the Connecticut area,
one near you, and he has had some fifteen, yeah,

(02:14:29):
fifteen people arrested by Ice, and no one appears to
be asking where is Victor? And Victor, can you explain
why you're hiring so many illegals at your establishments?

Speaker 6 (02:14:42):
Fourteen locations near you?

Speaker 2 (02:14:45):
My dad?

Speaker 6 (02:14:47):
How many more?

Speaker 2 (02:14:48):
Now? I understand that there was a press conference in
New Haven today where people were out there cursing.

Speaker 6 (02:14:53):
Out Ice and all the others, and nobody seemed to care.

Speaker 2 (02:14:57):
The same bozos who at the same time will twist
their mouth to talk about how the rich and the
wealthy business owners don't pay their fair share. And my
man Victor Velasquez here with fourteen locations, one near you,

(02:15:18):
is skirting the law, hiring illegals, probably paying them under
the table, and not paying his fair share of taxes
at one of his fourteen locations, one near you. I
don't get it. I don't get it, cursing ice because
they had to do the job to go correct this

(02:15:39):
man's crimes, because that's what they are hiring, illegals. Just
saying it also got We talked to what's his name,
los Oh. I'm sorry they didn't have his name in
front of me, but he called up on the program
to talk about Mimi's death, and I've already did I

I can't find it. But if you want to check

what family members knew about Mimi, and whether or not
she was alive before school, if she was home school,
whether or not other family members knew that the mother
and the boyfriend and the aunt were driving around with
her dead body, moving it to different places. So he
has been getting all of those details out based upon

(02:16:43):
individuals coming forward.

Speaker 6 (02:16:45):
So we will have him on.

Speaker 2 (02:16:46):
I will be communicating with him back and forth to
cover this story to get to the bottom of it,
to see where it leads as far as other court
cases are concerned.

Speaker 6 (02:16:56):
Also, we spoke to Ben today.

Speaker 2 (02:16:59):
Ben was a great call, and you know, if you

BPS driving center. Hello, son, what's up everybody?

Speaker 1 (02:17:28):
You know who it is?

Speaker 2 (02:17:29):
Who is you know? It's least on the radio, Frederick
Douglass of the twenty first century.

Speaker 1 (02:17:35):
It's w t i C News Talk.

Speaker 2 (02:17:39):
We'll get back to a whole bunch of other news
and stuff tomorrow. Uh, well, we'll get to it. People
have been asking me about the Washington woman Washington, Connecticut.

Speaker 6 (02:17:52):
That is her name is Sadie? Is that her name
Sadie Fleming.

Speaker 2 (02:17:58):
Now, the interesting part about the city Fleming story is
she's eliged to have drowned her one month old child,
and that in and of itself is tragic. But the
story stems from June that we are just getting wind
of within the last twenty four hours. So I'm getting

(02:18:20):
some background on this, and someone asked me, was like, hey,
you know, did you talk about it? That's because I'm
trying to get this background. This is another you know,
this is a wild story because again, we're talking about
death that happened in June. We're just hearing about today,
and I need to get the background on it because
I'm just gonna ask a whole bunch of questions. Why
are we just hearing about this now? So we'll get
to the bottom of that and we'll talk about that tomorrow,

(02:18:41):
So stand by for that a whole bunch of other
news as well.

Speaker 6 (02:18:47):
Tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:18:47):
Roseanne will be here, as I also told you, the
actress Larissa Dolly will be here tomorrow as well.

Speaker 6 (02:18:54):
We'll talk about her project with what's his name, Tyler Perry.

Speaker 2 (02:18:59):
Tyler Perry in the film that she did not too
long ago, called Becky and I understand as a sequel
coming out, but you guys understand that when we talk
to her tomorrow. Let's get to the phones.

Speaker 6 (02:19:08):
Frankie, what's up, my buddy.

Speaker 2 (02:19:11):
My bow?

Speaker 18 (02:19:12):
Well, my first question is that they washed cars in
a federal prison.

Speaker 6 (02:19:18):
They should This should be part of the job.

Speaker 18 (02:19:21):
Because Victor has got a bigger problem than the illegals
when the IRS gets ahold of them.

Speaker 2 (02:19:25):
Isn't that serious? I mean eighteen locations across the country
and we now know that there were fifteen people arrested
for being illegals, which again no one has said a word,
not one news agency has said, this guy's high in
her legals.

Speaker 6 (02:19:42):
What's going on with these finances?

Speaker 18 (02:19:44):
Yeah, you're talking twenty four percent that they compounded. Second thing,
since I talked to him Monday, gold is up over
three hundred dollars an ounce rece It's sending up, sending
a powerful message. It is very bad. It's going to
happen in this country.

Speaker 12 (02:19:59):
And I got a cut.

Speaker 18 (02:20:00):
I know what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:20:01):
You you think you think this black Swan event that
I just heard about is imminent because I just heard
a report that.

Speaker 18 (02:20:12):
There next year will be the collapse of the US dollar.
And if that happens, say good night to the stock market.
It'll drop seventy eighty percent. It'll be a nightmare for
you because people won't have any purchasing power to buy anything.
You think it's bad now wait to the end. You
won't have any just the stocks will tumble. They're too
high as it is right now.

Speaker 2 (02:20:32):
Yeah, that's this is Yeah, this would be an interesting
uh fall if it were to happen. I'll pay Look
like I said, we'll pay attention to it. I've got
my fingers crossed. I want you guys to be wrong.
When you guys start you and Wall Street, Joe, when
you guys start talking about calamity.

Speaker 6 (02:20:46):
I just want these guys, I'm like, I don't.

Speaker 12 (02:20:47):
Want that to be right.

Speaker 18 (02:20:48):
The first thing that the last thing is what did
I tell you? The number one thing I don't like
about this country. There's no reason for them to identify
himself as gay. It doesn't matter. There's no reason for
you to dentify yourself as a black man. It doesn't matter.
It has no value.

Speaker 6 (02:21:04):
Exactly.

Speaker 18 (02:21:05):
I've been asked a hundred times, Frank, when you're black
and white. I don't know, and I don't feel it.

Speaker 2 (02:21:10):
Hey, listen to me.

Speaker 6 (02:21:12):
Do not play down the over Italian identity.

Speaker 18 (02:21:16):
It doesn't a reason because I'm seventy years old. The
only time I've had problems in my life is when
I didn't have any money or gold.

Speaker 2 (02:21:25):
You're damn right about that. I say that all the time.
Money changes everything, my friend, Thank you, Frank. Let me
continue these others. Let's go to Hey, Polly's all the
way in Niagara Falls.

Speaker 26 (02:21:34):
Hello, my dear, listen, Wow, I think what you're talking
about is teptacracy. It's the origins of racism. How we
can take our community and make it. You know, we

(02:21:56):
got to do reparations and whatnot. It's LBJ look back, Okay.
I think you need to do a deep dive on
the black community in America and starting with the forties
cities ut ILBJ and don the welfare state and putting

(02:22:23):
people in ghettos.

Speaker 2 (02:22:24):
Polly can I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you
where to look. I don't know if you're interested in this,
but I want you to look it up. Please do,
because I'm doing the same thing. So as I always say,
when I ask people to do it, I want them
to do the same thing because I'm doing it. So
there's a guy by the name of Chad O Jackson.

Speaker 6 (02:22:39):
Have you ever heard of him?

Speaker 16 (02:22:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:22:41):
Okay, so Chad O Jackson, look him up. He has
a thing called the MLK Project and what he's doing
Episode two I think of a five episode series. It
maybe even be longer than that. But episode two is
already out. He's talking about the origins of this Marxism
that invaded the Civil rights movement, and he's got the

(02:23:04):
receipts and it is really I watched the first episode.
I haven't watched the episode two yet, but the first
episode he starts back at Nimrod in the Bible and
talks about how there's always been this sort of movement
towards Marxism, even before it was called Marxism, and he
talks about it with Nimrod and then talks about how
it infiltrated the Civil rights movement and how it began

(02:23:27):
taking the prosperity that was preached about in the Black Church,
you know, telling people to start their own business, always
repent to Jesus, you know, say, you know, stay on
your right path, and then how that was perverted into
this Marxist movement with doctor Martin Luther King Junior, where
he was engaging with young African American activists and telling

(02:23:48):
them to put down the black pastor. And there became
a rift between the two. That's in episode two. You
have to watch it in order to understand. But I
think you're on the right path. There was a shift
that happened right around LBJ and that civil rights movement
that was sort of changing the trajectory of the And

(02:24:08):
I'll even go further back than that, there was a
there was a rift between uh W E. B. Dubois
or many people calling.

Speaker 6 (02:24:16):
Duboys and Booker T. Washington.

Speaker 2 (02:24:19):
People don't know that the rift between the both of
them was that Booker T. Washington said that in spite
of slavery, we can actually build ourselves up and start
our own businesses. And he proved it because he had
it all across the country, where Dubois was rejecting that
idea and looking for the government to pay people for

(02:24:40):
their prosperity. So they had a physical and very had
a very real and open air rift between the both
of them.

Speaker 26 (02:24:51):
Okay, beyond what you're saying, which needs to be deep, guys,
we got Ice now a and so you got people
now maybe yourself.

Speaker 17 (02:25:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 26 (02:25:05):
I'm thinking it's a good thing, and I'm thinking no,
it's like what they did in Gaza without Peter feel
and the Uh uh.

Speaker 2 (02:25:17):
Do you think ICE's removal of illegals is a bad thing?
You think that there's something underneath that that may be bad?

Speaker 26 (02:25:23):
Well wait wait wait uh Peter Feal and his apps?
Where's Daddy getting?

Speaker 1 (02:25:33):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:25:33):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (02:25:34):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:25:35):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (02:25:35):
Uh?

Speaker 26 (02:25:36):
Gozz's okay, that's coming to America? That I think that is?

Speaker 2 (02:25:42):
And you think the two are you think the two
are correlated with Ice?

Speaker 12 (02:25:48):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
Oh yeah, well probably because it's the end of the show.
I don't know what that is. But is that part
of the video you sent me about the about the
the missagh That.

Speaker 26 (02:25:59):
Was just his story. But I'm telling you what I'm saying,
is this black okay?

Speaker 17 (02:26:07):
Uh?

Speaker 26 (02:26:08):
Why are we technocrevely tech? Why is this we gotta
do a different social engineering.

Speaker 18 (02:26:20):
In America?

Speaker 2 (02:26:22):
Why?

Speaker 12 (02:26:23):
Why?

Speaker 26 (02:26:24):
You know? And how does that fit in to what's
going on today?

Speaker 6 (02:26:28):
That's why I want you to pobably.

Speaker 2 (02:26:30):
That's the reason why I want to I want you
to watch this documentary because I think it answers the
question that you're asking. I think that was purposeful, but
I think it's broader than just you. Well, it's part
of it is just using African Americans and that whole thing.

Speaker 6 (02:26:43):
But I think it goes a little bit deeper than that.
But thank you, Paby.

Speaker 2 (02:26:45):
I gotta get to some other people. Let me go
to Tom and Thomas and hello.

Speaker 22 (02:26:49):
Sir, Hey, hello, I got to comment on the justice Brown.
But first you gotta love Frank in his gold. Remember Reese,
if you put ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 24 (02:27:04):
In nineteen ninety.

Speaker 22 (02:27:05):
Into IRA, it would be worth a lot more money.
And if you put ten thousand in the gold in
nineteen ninety, the IRA would be double.

Speaker 2 (02:27:17):
Oh yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt. That I remember.
I remember gold was struggling for a long time. People
were like, thank god we got rid of it. It's like,
thank god we got rid of the gold standard. I
remember every day of that.

Speaker 22 (02:27:34):
We ran we ran out of u enough gold.

Speaker 18 (02:27:38):
We didn't have enough gold.

Speaker 20 (02:27:39):
For the money we had mix and had to get
rid of the gold standard.

Speaker 16 (02:27:43):
We had no choice.

Speaker 12 (02:27:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:27:45):
Okay, so I'm Brown. You're telling me the Democrats couldn't
have found a smarter woman, black liberal woman than her.
There's gotta be African American women judges all over the country.

(02:28:06):
Why didn't they go to me?

Speaker 2 (02:28:08):
Do you know what? Do you know why they didn't?
Can I tell you why they picked Katanji Brown Jackson.
Do you know where she was serving at the time?
You could have thrown a stone. She was in Washington, DC.
She was in DC. There was no real effort. She
was in Washington, d C. There was no real I
mean this idea that they were picking a black woman.

(02:28:29):
It was like, we're gonna get stubber candidate. No, she
was the stones throw away.

Speaker 6 (02:28:33):
They didn't care, and they were making it.

Speaker 2 (02:28:35):
Look we're talking about an administration tom that didn't care
about the qualities or the qualifications of the black person.
And if you didn't, if you if you're wondering where
the evidence was. Kamala Harris is now on her book
tour telling people out loud that she was the most

(02:28:56):
qualified candidate ever.

Speaker 22 (02:29:00):
I saw that clip.

Speaker 20 (02:29:01):
It made me like there was probably there was probably
some cocktail party and some guys said, oh wait, remember
that little short black woman she was at the party.

Speaker 2 (02:29:13):
Kick you know what I'm telling you, I think I
think that that was what was funny about that. And
I think the crazy part about that was is that
I think when they were going through a list of people,
they probably had some black women very qualified, and they

(02:29:35):
were going through the names and there were names like
Robin Karen and then they saw Katanji. That's they looked
at that and went.

Speaker 6 (02:29:49):
Katanji, Yeah, that sounds African. That's how bad it was.
Thank you, Tom, I appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (02:30:00):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:30:02):
That's it's horrible what late textual says. You heard her
say that. Yes, Kamala said that she was the most
qualified candidate ever. It's everywhere, every news medium place is
talking about it, saying that she said that let's get

(02:30:25):
Bob before we get up out of here.

Speaker 6 (02:30:26):
How are you, Bob?

Speaker 18 (02:30:28):
Hey?

Speaker 22 (02:30:29):
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (02:30:29):
I'm about right? So what's up there?

Speaker 6 (02:30:31):
All right?

Speaker 18 (02:30:32):
So maybe I missed it?

Speaker 24 (02:30:33):
So you're telling me the people that are I'm from
him in the car wash that was rated yesterday was
just causing big news in our town. And that person
that owns the car wash, that's fine for them to
hire an illegal illegals.

Speaker 2 (02:30:49):
I missed your question, you said, am I saying it's
fine for him to hire illegals.

Speaker 24 (02:30:54):
No, in the state of Connecticut, like is it a
state like the state of Connecting, it's okay to hire
illegal alien.

Speaker 6 (02:31:01):
I'm assuming that they are there.

Speaker 2 (02:31:03):
Are saying that because if you think about it, I mean,
let's be honest. If these people don't have a background
to speak of, right, if there is whether or not
they came to the you know, maybe they made it
to the border and they had a they have a
desk appearance, so to speak, right to find out whether
or not they were going to get a silum. They

(02:31:24):
never make it to the courtroom because usually when they
come in it's in Texas, or maybe it's in California,
whatever the case is. But now they're in the Northeast.
If they had a court appearance, they never made it,
and they didn't go to the courthouse to do a
video courtroom appearance. They just stayed. And that's probably what
the case is. That we have a record of where
these individuals have gone or where they might be. Maybe

(02:31:45):
they did make some attempt to reach another family member,
but whatever it is, they've been isolated and found. What
I'm saying here, Bob, is we have two locations. Both
of them are owned by the same guy, and we
picked up fifteen people in two sweeps.

Speaker 18 (02:32:00):
You get the one in from Hamden.

Speaker 2 (02:32:01):
Yeah in Hamden, Yeah, the Optimo, and there's another Optimo
in what's same in Newington. What the thing that drove
me to this conclusion is I asked myself, could there
be two optimosed?

Speaker 6 (02:32:15):
And maybe that's just a random name.

Speaker 2 (02:32:17):
So I looked it up to find out if he
owned anymore, because I spoke to his general manager and
he says, I'm the general manager of all of them.

Speaker 6 (02:32:23):
So I said, oh, and I looked it up. Turns
out he owns eighteen fourteen of them.

Speaker 2 (02:32:30):
Yeah, that's right. There's one in Wallington, fourteen locations, one
near you.

Speaker 6 (02:32:36):
All right, thank you, buddy, I appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (02:32:38):
You have a wonderful night, people, said the man. More
from their local businesses is I always say, radio is free,
So we thank you for paying attention. Remember to keep
JC in your hearts and in your mind. Sean Patrick,
you love you. Let me miss you. Remember that panic
is not planning, So plan your work and work you're
planning me. I'm reaching the radio. You have a good night,
pleasant tomorrow. We'll see you back year for ladies Night Friday,

(02:33:03):
big dark, give me a holler, Mark Christmas Prello. He's
