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

Speaker 2 (00:26):
The show is about to style the radio. Turn it up,
turn it up low, turn it up lound?

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

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Also same.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Due to the nature of this program, discretion does not exist.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And you know better, all you veterans out there. It's
res on the radio on WTIC News Talk ten to eighty,
and We're going to spend the day celebrating you the
entire day.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
Whether you're off.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Duty today, if you're on the job, off the job,
if you're driving, the show is about you. It is
about your family members. So I want to do something
as important today because again, you know, I know Sunday
they had all the parades and everything, but it's Tuesday.
It's one of those news days where you know, you

(01:48):
could do the whole news and the rant and raven stuff.
But you guys deserve the respect today, and I'm going
to give it to you today. I want you to
call in eightsix zero five two two wt I see
eight six zero five two two nine eight four two
if you are a veteran, if you are the family

(02:09):
member of a veteran, if you are a child of
a veteran, and you want to call in and you
want to show that veteran that respect, get on the
lines you are getting on today. And you know, my
I was thinking about what my opening monologue should be.
Should I talk about my grandfather? Should talk about my grandmother?

(02:31):
So talk about my uncles? Should I talk about my aunt?
All of them served, And my mom, being the hippie
chick that she was, did not want her children in
the military. And I did not. I did not go yes,
and that sometimes it it is shameful. I'm not gonna lie.

(02:55):
I think about it. Sometimes I'll tell you. Can I
tell you the cringiest story. And it happens a lot.
This is not a story I ever get away from
because it happens every time, and it just sucks, and
I feel bad about it. And it happened at Friendly
Hands Food Bank just yesterday. A man walks up.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
To me at friendly Hands Food Bank.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Nice enough man, He's wearing a veteran shirt, a veteran's hat,
I apologize, baseball cap, and he he was helping my
wife and I park the car, telling us where to park,
and in doing so, you know, as we pass by him,
on the back of the car that we have is

(03:44):
a sticker veteran sticker, and you know, there's one placard
that says proud female veteran, but I guess he only
saw the word veteran. So anyway, we park, we're there.
We're helping out Karen and the staff at Friendly Hands.
And as things started to you know, motivate, and things

(04:06):
were getting going, everyone started talking and they'd realized who
I was. Oh, you're the reason guy, blah blah blah blah.
And this one man who helped us park walked up
to him and he goes to shake my hand and goes, hey, man,
thank you guys for coming out.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
He goes, where'd you serve?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh damn it. I hate it when he said I
hate it. I hated it when he asked because I
knew that's where he read it. I knew instinctively the
reason why he asked was because of that sticker on
the car. And there's my wife standing there, all of
about five foot eight, probably a little shorter, and I

(04:47):
have to turn to her and turn back to him
and go no, sir, my wife served and you know,
I know, look the guys are going gout youam he
must have felt awful. Yes, I do every time.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Not because I didn't serve.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's because they immediately think I did and do not
even look to my wife. So I want to send
out a special and personal plea to the women out
there who have served. Please call up. If you have

(05:26):
a mom, if you have a sister, if you have
a daughter, a significant other who has served and is serving,
I want you to give them a shout out as well,
or to hear from you as well. It happens all
the time, and I know it's because I'm tall. I

(05:49):
get it. I stand at attention, I get it. Some
of my mannerisms. You gets confused with He sounds like
a guy he was in a million. When I was
started up my moving company, every customer I had what
branch of the military, like sorry none, Wow, you seem
so military like, and like no, I'm afraid not. It's

(06:13):
just for my upbringing come from a military family. It goes.
And that's that's an important thing to point out, is
that if you are in a military family, they bring
all that stuff home with them.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
You know, I'll never forget the day of my mom again.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
My mom, hippie chick, taught us how to make our beds.
She did the whole quarter thing, you know, the bouncing
of the court. Oh goodness, gracious that woman. She didn't
believe in a military, but she had to deal. That's
how she was raised, from her mother, from her father.

(06:55):
So that was in our lives every day. So on
a day like this, I want you to show every
one of your family members who have served the respect.
I want you to show them the respect that they deserve,
honest day. And you know, we'll tell all the stories
and cover other news in the antwerroom.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
But I don't care what part of the day is.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I don't care what the subject is or the topic
that we're talking about. I want you to show those
folks some respect. We almost lost a great deal of
our military over the last you know, four or five years.
It was looking pretty hazy and what the military was

(07:43):
turning into, what they were going to do to our
young men and women who serve. You know, when they
were doing that bogus report about racism and bigotry inside
the ranks are enlisted, that was that was a time

(08:07):
during that administration. That got me angry because there's a
folklore and I think it's very true. I don't.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
I don't think there's anything about it.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's that's a mystery or untrue or fable for that matter.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Something I grew up.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
With knowing without ever having gone through it is what
folks say about the foxhole.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Nobody cares.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
You got my back, Yeah I got your back.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah good, I got yours.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
None of that stuff mattered ever, because lives were on
the line. People got right past that nonsense. There was
no racial bigotry in my platoon. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
I was immediately harkened back to full metal jacket.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
We do not look down on that was that was
always sort of like my understanding of being enlisted about
being in the military, that you had that guys back
in fact, what's always been known about our enlisted men

(09:39):
and women. It was the perfect melting pot. You met
people from walks of life you've never experienced before. If
you grew up on a farm with a population of
twenty two hundred, when you grew up in the big

(10:00):
city with a population of two million. When the two
of those folks got together, they found out things about
themselves that they never knew. They found out things about
their fellow men and women that they never knew. Where
they grew up, how they grew up, the values that
they had. Now, all of those things meant nothing when

(10:21):
they got into the military, because there was a new
world order inside them, and they had to work together,
and they had to do pet together. They ate together,
slept together. Those things are the things that mattered. And
when they left, those men and women became brothers and

(10:41):
sisters in arms. They looked at each other in a
completely different way. All of that other stuff was gone
when they came back home and they saw somebody from
a different background, be it social, economic, or racial, and
they founded that person had on the same uniform or

(11:05):
maybe had a tattoo, that each other could recognize, that
sort of secret handshake, if you will. They recognized each
other in a heartbeat, and they just started talking about
where they were from, what's your ros, where were you stationed,

(11:26):
laughing and joking at one another like they knew each
other forever. I remember going to Fort sam Houston with Roseanne,
and I got to tell you, folks, I dreaded going there.
I hate it. Talk about yeah, it has nothing to

(11:47):
do with being embarrassed. It had everything to do with
being out of place. I'm a six foot three hulking man,
and there's my Lilipucio's wife walking in there with these
other hulking men having conversations about what's your rem ros,
where were your station? Where were you Thista combat medic

(12:11):
rikonra And I'm sitting up there just going, dude, do
you wanna you want some borrows or Wendy's you wanna
you wanna I want strawberry banana smoothie? Or you just
want to get water? No?

Speaker 6 (12:28):
No, no, no, no, you guys continue talking.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Answer. I'm gonna sit over here and feel the masculated yes, no, no, no, no, no,
you guys go ahead. But it's interesting to watch, and
my wife is in her element. And the words that
come out of these folks mouths, the I mean, the
way they talk to one another, and like every second

(12:53):
word isn't that word. I'm sitting up there, bashful and everything.
I'm just like, sweetheart, can you say that word in public?
But as a certain you know, there's a certain person
there is It's just it's it's unlike anything you've ever experienced.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
And you have family.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
If you have family members who have come home and
you heard the way that they talk and saw the
way that they acted, and especially the way they communicate,
and you say to yourself, like, what what what happened
to that person? I don't mean and by the way,
in a uh disparaging way, but I'm just saying you

(13:45):
ask yourself, like if you watch them when they grew up,
and then you see them when they come out and
they come home and they're done and they've served and
they retired in you or even they're coming home for vacation,
and their behavior is just a certain way. They stand upright,
you know. They finish their meal in fifteen seconds flight.

(14:06):
That's an interesting thing. Watching my wife finish food before
me is an interesting thing. It's just a certain way
of life. And I don't think we respect it enough,
not all of us. I'm not and those of you
you know what I always say, if it don't apply,

(14:27):
let it fly. But a lot of us do not
respect it enough. That's a volunteer job for whatever reason. Hey,
they're gonna give them a college education, they still volunteer
because should the stuff hit the fan, they're going Some

(14:53):
people have run out of opportunities in the thing we
called life. Some of them didn't have any the other
option than to enlist, to volunteer. They got more out
of it than they put into it. But should it
hit the fan, they're going. It takes a it takes

(15:18):
a certain type of person to do that.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
That's why you have to respect it.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
We don't get the liberty of sitting idly by and
mocking them for the work that they do or the
service that they give. They earned it, They earned the
right to be respected, especially on a day like today.
So if you know someone, and again, like I said,
you don't have to be enlisted, You don't have to

(15:47):
have been a veteran. If you know somebody who's a veteran,
if they've passed on, or you want to show them
respect today, please do so today, show them their love
and then market you could go online and you can
find them and you can say to you know, to
Pop Pop or Tanana and you could say, hey, you know,
I called recent the radio and I wanted to show

(16:07):
Grandpa some respect. And you could take that little clip
and you can play it, play it for Auntie, play
it for uncle, and let them know that you were
showing them some respect. You have no idea how much
they love that, to know that their work, their efforts,
their service is being respected by you. That's what thank

(16:35):
yous are all about. Who doesn't love it? Thank you?
That's just the way I see it. When we come back,
we got plenty of news, plenty of views. I got
another environmental story I got hipped to last night. We'll
tell you a little bit of the details on that.
We haven't finished the investigation, but apparently there are some
environmental issues happening in Connecticut. Let's just say it ranks

(17:00):
up there with like Aaron Brockovich in some cases. We'll
talk about that. I'll read your comments in the chat room.
If you want to give a dedicationnaire, you can do
that as well. So stand by more news, more views,
and of course your dedications to the veterans in your life. Okay,
when we return, please seriously take the time. I mean it.

(17:22):
Eight and zero five two two WT I see eighteen
zero five two two nine to eight four to two.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Call up the show, show some respect, show some love
for those folks.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Whether you know him or not. It's recent and radio
on WTIC News Talk ten eighty fan of WTI c
then do us a favor. Download the free Honesty app
and favorite. WTIC got plenty of comments in the chat
room on Veterans' Day. Laurie says that my husband is

(17:51):
one of six kids, five boys, one girl, and some
of them were the age impacted by the Vietnam conflict.
Only his sister served as a Marine Corps veteran. She
was stationed in Korea post Vietnam as well. Poly says
Japanese Americans served in World War Two. Sam Walton made camps. Yeah,

(18:16):
and she says active war brings brotherhood. Jason says, take
it from a veteran. You rely on the guys you
were with because the government owns you and you do
what they say regardless, you begin to rely on the
people who are in the same situation as you. That
is a very very good point. Ricky You also says

(18:39):
he wants to give a shout out to his daughter Maggie,
his son in law Brandon, his nephew Brandon, and.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Cousins John and Megan.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Thank you for your service, Ricky says, and we thank
you for your service as well. Let's go to the phones.
Mark is on the line.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Big eye.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
You gave a great honor to you? Was it your dad?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (19:01):
Sorry, hold on, I apologize.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
There you go. Yeah, you gave a.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Great honor online to your dad.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Was that?

Speaker 7 (19:05):
Was that?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Who it was? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (19:07):
I wipe people go on, Mark from West Harford. So
I've been doing this a couple of years now that
I'm on social media thanks to Ruby and Florida.

Speaker 9 (19:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (19:15):
He told me I would enjoy certain things, and you
know what, I think, I really appreciate that and getting
to telp people or at least show people how proud
I am. So two things tell me how fortunate and
blessed I was to have men in my life, starting
with my grandfather, my Italian immigrant grandfather, certain the US Army.

(19:37):
I just posted on my Twitter account, Mark from West Harford.
I have his discharge papers from nineteen eighteen who in calligraphy.
He survived the Battle of Verdon, So those of you
who know the history of that horrific gassing. I mean,
so he spoke four languages. He was just he was

(19:58):
just a great man. My father. This one always blows
me away because I kind of got mean with my mouth.
Calm people, beata males. But how many sixteen year olds.
You know, we joined the Merchant Marines. My father was sixteen.
He left the house at fifteen with the intent of
making his way in there. This is a few years

(20:18):
after Pearl Harbor, and you know, which affected a lot
of young teenager you know, you were thinking of men,
when in fact a lot of the young boys turning
into men. He was a man at sixteen, and I
have his I have his enlistment card, and I hope
you go on and see it and look at the
determination on his face. I mean, he was a good

(20:42):
looking guy. He looked like Colin Ferrell.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
That kill a mommy for kill, a commedy for your
mommy kind of thing. That was. That was the mindset.

Speaker 8 (20:51):
Can I need you with one thing? Because so and
I've been doing this for a number of years on
the WC, I see and people always come through. So
a lot of people don't know what to do. Hey,
veterans day, what do you do? How do you help out?
So every day we should be on our veterans. But
we got Thanksgiving, we have Christmas, we have Hanaka coming
up in Rocky Hill, and I'm gonna take you up

(21:12):
there because you've got to see this place, there's a domicile.
There are veterans up there, men and women, some with
young children. These people, when they end up there, it's
not because it's a great place to retire or rehabilitate
or rehab from drugs and alcohol. This is like, these
are men and women at their worst and there's this
place up there that has a domicile. There's a hospital,

(21:36):
there's housing. And the one thing is there's a disconnect
between the public because they don't really allow you to
go in there and visit. They don't allow you to
give like donations. But one thing you can do, and
I've asked this year after year, send a card, maybe
for Thanksgiving. Imagine if when they go to this so
there's a cafeteria where they all have dynat and what
they do is if you address and I'm not gonna

(21:59):
give it. Listen, just look it up in Rocky Hill,
States Veterans Home and you'll get the address. Send him
a thank you card. Christmas is coming, Send a card
just thanking them for their service. You're praying for them,
you're thinking about them. And they put them out on
a table. And let me tell you something. When they
go in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and there's one hundred
cars or more out there, and sometimes there's hundreds. You know,

(22:21):
it's nice. Yeah, it's a nice gesture.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
What an incredible That's an incredible gesture. And it's simple
and it is effective. You one, right. I don't know
one person who doesn't like a card showing gratitude.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
I don't know one person who doesn't.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
When I bring you up here reach, We're gonna hook
you up with the commissioners, a new one up there,
and I know you could do great things together up
there to help these people. And again, these are veterans
and those of you who know that place up there
listening to me talk, you know what I'm talking about.
Over the decades, they've been treated horribly and finally, thank god,
prayers were answering. A lot of people got involved to

(22:58):
get them the pro respectful help that they deserve.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Hey, thanks again, brother, my pleasure man, always always, you
got it.

Speaker 6 (23:06):
Let's go to Adam and Ease Hartford.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
How are you, sir? Good?

Speaker 8 (23:09):
Thanks for taking my call, reas. I really appreciate it,
my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I'm an Air Force man.

Speaker 10 (23:14):
I was in during peacetime.

Speaker 8 (23:15):
I was in from nineteen eighty one and nineteen eighty five.
I was in Germany two years, in Florida.

Speaker 11 (23:20):
For a year and a half.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Wow, Germany is an incredible place. Did you come back
with a wife?

Speaker 12 (23:27):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (23:27):
I'll tell you what some some some airman did, some
oldest sergeists did.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Now I still know guys who were coming back with
wives when they get stationed in Germany.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
But no, the only.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
Dangerous thing I did. But at least you know, some
people say, hey, hey, you served. Yeah, the only dangerish
thing I did, because some were in combat. I rode
in the scene one thirty over the Swiss Alps.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
You know, Wow, that was the bumpy ride?

Speaker 6 (23:49):
Was that beautiful?

Speaker 7 (23:50):
Though?

Speaker 8 (23:51):
It was very scenic?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, I got I couldn't imagine it anything less than that.
But you know what you served, And you wouldn't say
you served, would you say? Eighty one to eighty six.

Speaker 8 (24:02):
No, nineteen eighty one to nineteen eighty five, exactly, nineteen.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
Eighty one to nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Okay, well let's consider this, Adam, you technically served during
the Cold War, didn't you.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I mean, I don't know in more idyllic time to
be a service member than that. So yeah, absolutely, hats
off to you and thank you very much for your service.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Thank you, and I'm teb a great day and I'll
keep listening to the program.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
You got a boss man, God bless you. Let's go
to Lori in Glastonbury, Headlo.

Speaker 13 (24:33):
My dear Harry, thanks for taking my call. Always I
want to shout out my grandfather who served in World
War Two in France, a friend of mine who served
during Depth Desert Storm, and a gentleman that I worked
with recently in the capatsy of my job was served
in Afghanistan. And I wanted to recommend a book that

(24:54):
I've read recently. It's called The Right Hole by Andrew Biggio.
Is the story of World War Two veterans. He takes
a copy of the rifle that his uncle used in
World War Two, and he collects the stories of living
World War Two veterans and has them find the rifle.

(25:17):
And so it is a fascinating and a heartbreaking collection
of these men's stories. And I couldn't recommend the book enough.
It is it really is a worthwhile reading. It's called
The Rifle by Andrew Bee.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay, thank you so much for that. Laurie and a
big shout out to you. We really appreciate you doing that.
Thank you so much.

Speaker 13 (25:42):
Absolutely take care.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
You got it. Laurie in Glastonbury as usual? Who's that
from Gains? Is that Rudy? Call it? Oh? Is that
white Mike?

Speaker 14 (25:53):
Now?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
White Mike. I already get he's going to be talking
about the stuff that's in the chat room. I'm not
reading that. I'm not taking this. Actually, why Mike is?
I think rightly?

Speaker 7 (26:05):
So?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
You you are a veteran yourself, right, I am a veteran,
that's right. Thanks.

Speaker 8 (26:12):
From eighty eight to ninety two during the Cold War
station on a nuclear missile base. Wow, what on a
nuclear missile base?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
What do you do? You ever miss it? Roseanne talks
about missing service life like being in the military, and
I see it every time we go to a military base.
The way she communicates with everyone else. She's like because
she said, she calls it order. She loved the order
that was there.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Do you get that same sort of hankering?

Speaker 8 (26:42):
Not at all, dude. What I did was just like
having a regular job. I worked from eight to four,
but there was extra nonsense stacked onto it. I didn't like,
like anything about it. Military was run by inefficient people.
There are a lot of qualified people.

Speaker 15 (27:01):
In positions just because they had to take a box.
I didn't see any of this great racial cohesion when
I was in. I saw everybody off with their own group,
except for black dudes trying to sleep with eighteen year
old naive white girls.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
A minute, where were you stationed? I was in.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
I was at Francis E. Warren in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
So Cheyenne, Wyoming. I don't even think.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
From when the Brothers. When the Brothers landed there, it
was naive white girls, Morgas boards. It was okay, but
there's so much dumb stuff and uh, it's it's an
imposition on your life, and they treat you like property.
There was very little respect. Oh and yes, some some

(27:54):
black dudes stole my bicycle.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, that's what you're talking about the chat room. Well
wait a minute, Mike. You know what's so funny that
everything you just described without a doubt, and I know
you don't sugarcoat anything.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
I heard Roseanne and others like.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
In fact, there's this YouTube page where these guys in them,
you know, sort of very young enlisted folks are asked
you know, you know, why did you join? And some
of them say things like, oh because I was stupid.
Oh I thought i'd see the world. And it's it's
very like a very complaining sort of like video. Anyway,

(28:30):
So I look at Roseanne and I are watching it,
and Roseanne's like, yep, yep yep. I said, but wait
a minute, how can you do both? Like you talk
about it like you miss it, but there's other parts
that you seem to dislike about it, and she goes,
both can be true.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Does does that make sense to you?

Speaker 8 (28:48):
The best thing about it if you're a young person
living in the dorms because Air Force had dorm not there,
so we're bouji right, right, is there's always somebody around
to do something with. Uide can go get two doors
down and knock and have some medy to hang out with.
But you have no freedom, You have no liberty. You
are subject to the whims of every moron. And if

(29:15):
you're unlucky like me, you get to your permanent duty
station and your direct supervisor is a black woman staff
sergeant from New Jersey. It was hell.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
And she was probably taken over and taken out every
grievance she ever had on you.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
One thing I noticed funny at the time, every black
staff sergeant drove a SOB nine hundred.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
What was that a thing?

Speaker 8 (29:39):
Yes, the whitest white guy car ever all the brother
So I'm.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Not gonna lie. Yes, the SOB without a doubt. But
I grew up in my neighborhood in Hollis Queen's Well,
it was more like Jamaica State's kind of Hollis Queen's area.
Yet there were a lot of sobs in our area too.
The only reason why I know that car is because
of my neighborhood. There's a lot of people with sobs.

Speaker 8 (30:02):
To be honest, if you're eighteen years old and you
go into it at the right mindset, you're gonna get some
cool job. You wanna do real cool military stuff like
be infantry or gotta be special operations. Do it. If
you can go Space Force, get a good tech job,
do it. Yeah, I want to get four years to
straighten your head out and get the GI bill. Fine,
but don't go into it thinking it's gonna be fun,

(30:23):
because a lot of it sucks. And I would never,
if I had a daughter, let her join the military
at all, because you're throwing her into a pit of
hungry wolves and bad things happen here.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
I've heard. No, that's that's a matter of opinion, because
I've spoken to a lot of fathers who are very,
very proud of their daughters who go in.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
So that's I'm taking that one with a grain of salt.

Speaker 8 (30:45):
But this that their daughters are like the town bicycle
when they get there goodbye.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
It's the worst person alive when it comes to certain things.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
But I'm gonna disagree with that because my little sister
was in there. She a hardcore. She don't play around
like I know.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
There are a lot of people who know that Mike
is very jaded about everything.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
You know, she don't play around white and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Though he is the most jaded person.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Did her twenty one years and retired.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
I know a lot of people who, especially women who
you know, swear by the military not you know, and
you know what he never mind. I'm not even gonna
say what he's gonna say. When we come back, we'll
take more of your phone calls. We'll talk about this
some more. Eights and zero five two two w T
I see eight and zero five two two nine eight
four two it's Reesa on the radio on WT I
see new Stock.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Ten eighty T, I see, I see.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
Let me get to Fred, who's in Middletown.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
How are you, sir? You know what? Fred? I totally
forgot what you look like. And we did meet at
the at the Holiday store in Avon a couple of
years ago.

Speaker 16 (31:51):
I did not make it to you.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Did that wasn't you. I'm almost certain Mark showed a
picture of you with the hat on, and I'm almost
certain that you and I met.

Speaker 16 (32:01):
I'm rocking some doppelganger dude, by the by I got.
I didn't make it Davon. I wish I could have.
Oh wow, yeah, my girl Jen couldn't get me out there.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
Oh that's weird, okay, all right. Nonetheless, what's got going on?

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Sorry?

Speaker 16 (32:15):
Well, the original prompt for my call was to say
that the original prompt for armists this day eleven eleven
eleven was let's remember not to do this again, the
Great War aka the War to End all wars.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
That's right.

Speaker 16 (32:34):
Instead it's been perverted into remember the heroism, the courage
and the sacrifice, and be ready to step up when
it's your turn. Honor those who sacrificed. Yeah, they completely
flipped it. I've almost I think white Mic until the
last one liner there. I think white Mike was spitting

(32:55):
gold on the military.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I've scared he says this same thing that my wife says,
and I always ask her how can both be true?
And she goes they can be because again, what she
views the military as, and I think Mike will probably
you know, as he kind of said, is that it's
the camaraderie between the men and women in uniform. It's
not so much about you know, staff sergeants and the

(33:20):
military brass and all that other stuff. You know, they
say what they say about the military brass, but they
talk about the men and women they serve with in
glowing terms.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
It's never you know, those people that they're disparaging.

Speaker 16 (33:33):
Even if you never go anywhere near combat, it's still
like a much higher stress situation than most of theians
ever encounter. I think in others you can get like
slapped around. I mean not so much now, but back
in the day, I read a book called The Island
in the Marine Corps see Paris Island and die right

(33:54):
about like yeah, I mean by and I have had
buddies like I'm seventy who were in the Vietnam Era.

Speaker 11 (34:00):
And then, by the bye, you.

Speaker 16 (34:01):
Have a dentist who's like training on you. Oh and
I almost this is I also wanted to say this.
I almost went in three times in response to homelessness. Okay,
I'm so glad I didn't. Just based on what I
now know about vaccines. God, my god, you are some
kind of pincushion.

Speaker 8 (34:21):
And I give you.

Speaker 16 (34:23):
A whole bunch of them, and you're kind of on
your Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Roseanne talks about that at length. She sure does, dude.

Speaker 16 (34:32):
And I'll stop there because I'm not Peter McCullough, who,
by the way.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, I'm working on him. I'm working on him.

Speaker 16 (34:39):
No kidding, God bless you.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Hey, come on, man, it's my job. It's my job.

Speaker 7 (34:43):
You are.

Speaker 8 (34:44):
You are the man.

Speaker 16 (34:45):
As far as what you're doing right, you're really doing
it right, thank you, sir. And about that full metal jacket,
ultimately that was military propaganda, that real di I guy.
He did a lot of pro military stuff. He chows you.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Oh, oh you're talking about you're talking about Early Emory.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
That's his name, Emery, that's right, Emory.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yes, he was, he was so Yes, he was a
very very pro military actor, and they said that they
doesn't he say he improv or he improvised most of
that through his experience.

Speaker 16 (35:16):
I'm sure they didn't have to write it down for him.
And I love the scene where pork chop or whatever
it was takes him out lard ass.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Oh you're talking about private prile?

Speaker 15 (35:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, how do you you like that scene? That scene
still makes me sad. I loved I loved the sergeant.
Somebody everybody says he deserved it. I'm sorry he was
that movie. I almost didn't watch the second half after that.

Speaker 16 (35:50):
And I want to close through the public service announcement, Yes, sir,
happening all the time. I never had a license. I
don't drive on meantime mechanical, but I know that you
should warm up your car at least ten seconds, even
if it's an electric, and better like a half a minute.
A minute. They say the new one is no, you
gotta warm Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
You gotta warm up your car. I couldn't agree more.

Speaker 10 (36:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (36:11):
I see everyone getting their car and they're gone. I
want to yell at them, all right.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yeah, thank you about you got it last, but not
least let me take Jim in Waterbury. Before we take
a break, how are you saying?

Speaker 14 (36:22):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Way?

Speaker 10 (36:23):
Sorry you doing buddy?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I'm good man, what's up?

Speaker 10 (36:26):
Good? My favorite nephew took me out for Veterans Day.
Does every year? Yeah? So I wore my Marine Corps
sweatshirt yesterday because it's I'm a Marine, and I wore
my Army sweatshirt today because I was in the Army.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Wow. Okay, well, thank you for your service. Two times.

Speaker 10 (36:44):
My nephew come over. He's reading some letters I wrote
from Vietnam when we were in combat. Some of the
stuff there. He was laughing. He says, they really sent
that through. It wasn't said. They didn't censor it back
then I held at home. Now, my father was in
combat World War Two, so I know he understood what

(37:05):
my poor mother if she read it home. She was
a Christian girl.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
You know what, what can I ask you real quick?
If you ken in thirty seconds, did you recognize the
guy in those letters?

Speaker 14 (37:20):
Uh?

Speaker 10 (37:21):
No, because there was fifty or some years ago.

Speaker 6 (37:24):
Wow, I hear you.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
I just I wondered if that was you felt like
you were sort of an out of body experience.

Speaker 6 (37:32):
But I can only imagine it had.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
To a bit.

Speaker 10 (37:34):
Yeah, I was a Catholic, but I wasn't a Christian.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I hear you.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
Thank you, thank you man, and thank you for your service,
and thank you for your call.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Thank you, you got it served. Let's take a break.
We got news coming up with John Silva. I'm sure
he's got plenty of things going on in the.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
Country and of course around here. We're back. It's recent
radio on wti C News Doc ten eighty.

Speaker 17 (37:59):
Brie on the radio making sense of the news even
when it makes no sense at all at all. Now
until a U T I see News Talk ten eighty.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
No headlines.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
It is a holiday today, so we're just going to
do things a little differently because of course a lot
of you are just celebrating and you're out with your
family and you're probably at home. You're not in your
cars as much. We'll get that. Hey, by the way,
did we I don't know if you found out if
are we still have any online issues with like the

(38:32):
call in for the for traffic and weather? Are you
do you know anything about that? We're back up and running. Okay,
all right, So I was I was worried about that
because I meant to ask you about it earlier, and
for some reason I just slipped my mind. So I
get a message last night from a listener and should I.

(38:59):
I'll just get the first name of the individual. I
don't think they didn't say anything about saying their name
or anything like that, so I just want to give
them at least their props for bringing the information to
my attention. Young lady's name is Jasmine, and she she

(39:22):
sent me a text and said that she had some
info that I would be interested in. In fact, it
went like this, she says, Hey, I have some information
you might want to get out to the public. And
she says that this information needs to be spoken about.
And it's with regards to deep Deep and a failure

(39:46):
on their end to deal with pfas in people's well
waters and much more. And PFAS is what's called the
forever chemical means that you can't get rid of them.
So she sent me some of the data on a
couple of reports that were done back in two thousand
and four, in twenty and eleven, and this is because

(40:12):
of chemicals that come from a place called the Quinniquack Farm.
Many of you might be familiar with it, and killingly
and I'm reading the report. There are no real stories
about this report. Why, I'm not exactly sure. They don't

(40:35):
believe that it is a big deal. The story is
big locally because this environmental issue probably covers about seven
hundred and thirty three folks within the area, plus endangered

(40:56):
critic spots, and about thirteen k in a four mile
splash zone. They do believe that this contamination could spike
cancer rists or muck up fish if ignored nationally. That's

(41:18):
according to this report. There are no real headlines about it.
But here's the breakdown. According to the story, at this
Quinnoquac farm, there was let's just say, some industrial scrap

(41:39):
and slop that was left in waterways and on the
farm that got into well water. Apparently this has been
happening since the nineteen sixties. The operator allegedly hauled industrial
slabs like rubber scraps, plastics, chemicals from nearby factories to

(42:01):
this sixty four acre killingly spread at fifty five Cotton
Bridge Road. They dumped it an old river bedge buried
under gravel and manure, and then corn planted like nothing happened.
Fast forward. EPA flags it in the nineteen eighties, and
nineties for burial drums or buried drums in the area.

(42:22):
In two thousand and four, soil samples screamed trouble oily
toxins like.

Speaker 6 (42:30):
Benzo a prayin. I'm sorry if I'm butchering that.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Metals like arsenic lead PCBs over Connecticut safety limits, river
sediments tainted two hitting the wetlands and fish groundwater. Maybe
they're saying affecting sixteen sixteen thousand locals, high priority dig deeper,

(42:56):
no on site visit, but geophysics ping metal blobs. In
two thousand and six they tested twenty seven spots, confirmed
the crude, same metals PCBs plus asbestos, no drinking water, redlines,
but unknown risks to wells and the quine Bog River.

(43:18):
In twenty eleven, they recheck says the same old, same
old population diptys Amidge, fewer exposure worries, but still parked.
As assessment complete, decision needed. They waited for deep and
they didn't really say much. Today there still isn't anything

(43:38):
being said or done about it. No big league clean
up with the status assessment complete, no decision has been made,
and no digs have been set up.

Speaker 6 (43:52):
To at least clean it out.

Speaker 7 (43:56):
Now.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
They told me to pay attention to the twenty and
eleven report. In twenty eleven report says that this is
a problem. Plus they say that there are some people
in the area who are complaining that they indeed may
be suffering or have suffered as a result of this spill,

(44:16):
or at least the negligence of it, and any sort
of removal here is the last probe. Forgive me for
a second. I just want to make sure I got
the right date here in front of me, because according
to this, yeah, this is pretty much the same deal.

(44:40):
They're saying high level of arsenic, poisonous, cancer, cancer like
or cancer linked copper, lead, bad for kids' brains, nickel
and zinc. This is not backyard garden stuff. These things
could leach into water or get kicked up in dust.

(45:02):
And they know it's there, deep knows it's Their reports
have been done on it. I have a copy of both,
but no one has done anything about it, and the
population hasn't been really able to get the word out.
There's been a small effort to get the word out,
but it was covered by a very small radio station.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
No one else is covering it.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
No one else seems to be interested in it, so
they want me to get some attention to it.

Speaker 6 (45:35):
So I'm going to do that.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
I'm going to ask a couple of people that I
know in the business, or at least some friendly folks,
to see if they can talk about this, or at
least to find out more details. If the last report
was done in twenty eleven, let's see if we can
get somebody to get out there and test the water today.
There's a considerable amount of time from twenty eleven to
today and there's been no report done on it. So

(45:59):
that's pretty much the news I had on that. I'm
gonna investigate it a little further, and in fact, more
information should be coming in on that because I asked
for some folks to give me some other quiet study
stuff to see if they can tell me what's going on.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
Let me see what else is in the chat room here.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Okay, Josiah has an important conversation he wants to have
with me. Josiah, if you want to call me about
the gambling thing, you can just get on the phone
and I'll pick you up. I'll be happy to talk
to you about it. I don't know if we can
get anything done today, But Josiah wants to that Roland.
You're probably gonna get ticked off about this. You might

(46:43):
want to go on to mic for this one. Can
I read you what he wrote me? Let me read
you what he wrote me? He says. Josiah writes, are
you taking calls? I want to talk about DraftKings? Now
they have sponsor here, weren't they want someone? Then we
use that face and doing something fan doing?

Speaker 6 (47:02):
Okay, fanm Yeah, you're on FanDuel.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Yeah. He says that he wants to talk about DraftKings.
He says, I'm talking with the state rep about riding
a bill to ban it as we speak. He says
that he doesn't believe that there should be an app
or we should have online gambling of this fashion in Connecticut.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. It making way too much money.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
What about mohegan Son? Doesn't it cut off the middleman there?
I mean, if people can gamble at home, what's the
sense of going to the casino.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Uh, well, there's a lot of reasons to go to
the casinos. When you're gambling at home, you get all
the perks to you know, the free rooms, the free
concert tickets, free food and all of that stuff that is.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Everybody can you beat? Like what I'll put it this way.
When I go gambling, I never get offered for perk.
I never, Hey, go see one of our shows. I
walk home after I've lost, you know, two hundred bucks
on the nickel slots and I just call it.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Hey, you gotta play a lot. That's why.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
You know?

Speaker 3 (48:12):
What do you go once every blue moon?

Speaker 18 (48:15):
Man?

Speaker 6 (48:15):
Let me tell you if I go.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
I think the last time we went, I took Roseande
for her birthday, and we spent more money at dinner than.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
We did on gambling.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Yeah, and that was only because we went to a
nice restaurant and the meal I can guarantee costs US
about two hundred and.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Fifty to three hundred bucks. Yeah. They have the Michael
Jordan restaurant up there in Mohigan. Yeah, and off to
the side of it, it's the Michael Jordan twenty three
Sports Cafe. That's where I go because that is that
a cheaper meal reason because the Michael Jordan regular restaurant
mistakes are like two hundred dollars and no way, no way. Yeah,

(48:59):
and it's and it's packed in there. Every weekend too.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
Last time I spent that much money on a steak.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
I bought a porterhouse from some Tampa Bay thing called
Charlie's in Tampa Bay.

Speaker 6 (49:11):
It was also the first time I had I had alligator.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Legs or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Oh, it tastes like rubber. That's awful. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
I bought the porterhouse. I think was one fifty.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Yeah, what was it good?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Though?

Speaker 6 (49:24):
It was great, I couldn't finish it. It was as
big as a house.

Speaker 16 (49:28):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
And then I yelled at by my ex wife because
I left it in the hotel room. Oh, we left.
I was supposed to take it home with me. He
just lost the lost. It was like literally it was
actually lost a little more than fifty bus seventy five dollars.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
So that's like literally dropping seventy five out of your pocket.

Speaker 6 (49:46):
And yeah, yeah, geez, yeah, it's yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Teresa.

Speaker 6 (49:52):
Theresa's in the chapter Teresa.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
I tried to call you because we literally wanted to
go to church, and I called and I got a
voicemail and the voicemail said that it was Why do
people do that on their voicemail? The voicemail said that
it was full and you couldn't leave a message. Folks,
can you clean out your voicemails?

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Yeah, people don't check theirs. I check mine every periodically,
you do, but they never.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I don't get enough cause to I don't think so.
I don't think I do either to fill up. So
that's true. I don't you know. This is what happens
when you have no friend. Exactly, yeah, exactly. We're lonely guys.
So Teresa, please, I'll try you again. I've got your
number somewhere. I'll try you again. Maybe we can work

(50:38):
it out this weekend after I go to Newtown. Yeah,
I just Siah if you want to is that his name?
If you want to call in and talk about gambling, Josiah,
you absolutely can.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
But I gotta be honest with you. I just don't.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
I don't have an interest inside or out of gambling,
because you know, someone told me long time ago, back
in Boston, and I.

Speaker 6 (51:05):
Thought it was an insult.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
I thought it was a mean thing to say. Roland,
this would probably be No, you wouldn't take offense to this.
He said. Gambling is a tax on the stupid. That's
what he called it. And I never The only reason
why I remember it is because I can't understand why
he said it. He also said that about cigarettes, But

(51:29):
I went, how was that a tax? Like it somebody's
actually getting something from the thing that they're paying for, right,
you know. It would almost be like saying buying a
house is a tax on the stupid. I just just
didn't understand it. Always set, it's always sat with me
in the wrong way. I'm just like, I don't think

(51:50):
it's I don't think it means what you think it means.
But trying to stop gambling or online gambling, people are
gonna find a way to do it. And if you
get rid of online gambling, I always believe that the
other element comes in, criminal The criminal element comes in.
That's just the way it goes. Yeah, it's gonna exactly,

(52:13):
it's gonna go right back to.

Speaker 6 (52:14):
The long lunch.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
You do have to claim it, you know, you know
you have to claim it.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Yeah. Yeah, But they don't get taxed by the long sharp.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh no, no, that's different.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
I don't have fifteen percent with them, and yeah and
and yeah, if you if you do enough, you you
don't you don't end up paying anything anyway, because you
you if you hit a jackpot, then you just right
off the losses and you get is everything becomes even.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
Really Okay, what's that?

Speaker 2 (52:48):
And by the way, what was what's the most you
ever won? If you don't mind my mind saying, uh
at what you mean anything at one time? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Probably I think, uh, seventy seven hund at one at
one time.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
One city?

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Yeah, seventy seven hundred Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Is that? No, that's okay, that's I'm not gonna lie.
That's that's not that's not big, it's not Gangbusters.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Yeah. Well, I'm also not betting one hundred and one
hundred and fifties of dollars at a time either I'm doing.
I don't go. I don't go past ten bucks.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
What's the lowest lottery winning you could win that you
would call substantial? Uh, like the lowest amount that you
would consider a big payday on a grand damn wow?
Do you think literally you just pulled that right out
of my brain. That's the same amount that I think of.

(53:39):
I was like, I always say that all the time
when I play. It was like, you know what, I'd
be okay if I just want one hundred thousand.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
I mean, everybody wants to win a million, but I
don't even care about that. I take ten percent of that.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Yeah, I was like one hundred grand, Yeah, without a doubt.
I'll take it on the heartbeat.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
I don't have any like major debts, so.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
No do I absolutely, gosh, I would. Yeah, that would
be a dream come true.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
For savings and take the big boy of cruise to
Greece and all of that.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
I would turn around it in this studio. I would
replace that camera with a two hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Care instead of a one hundred dollars sixty seven down there.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
I got it on the warehouse of Amazon. You can't
spend a lot of money. Yeah, what so, Kolowski says,
spot on. One hundred thousand dollars is right on point.
That is a reasonable amount.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Pay off all your who's I don't know how much
debt a lot of people have. I know some people
who have a lot of debt, Like if you went
to college, forget about it. I'm sorry, I can't speak
for you, but I kind of feel like the average
person would take would be a great amount of money
to pay off that debt and still have some left over.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
I feel yeah, and I feel like unless it's like
a bunch of millions of dollars, like you hit the powerball.
I'm making means or something like that. I knew. Me
and my boy we know a guy that hit a
million on a scratch off and it was going in
like eight months.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
So what Yeah, a million in eight months?

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Yeah, after the tax is not worth a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Well, even though I.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Could up six hundred and thirty, even if.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
It was six hundred thousand dollars, he was done in
eight months.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Yeah, because he gambled it most of it back.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Oh, he gambled. I was gonna say. I thought he
bought an escalator, like you know, maybe opened up a
movie a recording studio.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Like gamble most of it back. Yep.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Yeah, gambling makes sense, but that's still a lot of
money to gamble.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
I think he paid off his house and then gambled
the rest.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Okay, well paying off the houses, but like paid off
like own it full.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Yeah, he only owed like a hundred thousand on it
and he just paid.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
I'd have done that.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
I'd have done that and then gambled the wress.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Yeah, I'd have done that. I don't even know what,
to be honest with you, I don't know what I
would do, because I feel like if I were to
win that much money, I would never see it anyway
because Roseann would take it right from me. So it's like, nope, nope,
you don't know, Nope, nope, you gotta keep you got it.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
That's why you say, hey, guess what I want the
lottery two hundred and fifty thousand, And then you get
heard a two hundred and fifty Right now you have
three onndred and fifty for yourself tucked the way, and
then you say, hey, just you keep two hundred of
that and just give me fifty and we're gonna call
it even. And then now you got fifty to do
whatever you want to do with it. That's how you

(56:15):
play that.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
I would never know what to do with that kind
of money. It would burn a hole in my pocket.
I wouldn't know what to do with that money. I'll
be honest with you. I'm the only person who knows
who would have that much money. It still wouldn't know
what to do with it. I wouldn't at all. I'm
the worst with money.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
Then you got to get with some investors, so they, yeah,
take care of you.

Speaker 6 (56:30):
Probably exactly what I should do. Let's take a break.
We'll be back. More news, more views.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
We got du friendly no not I'm sorry, but between
rounds coming up in a little bit, more news, more views,
and I got to talk about the Affordable Care Act
and why Democrats are so desperate to keep the government
closed because of this information. It's really really good, resaid
the Radio on Newstalk ten eight wt I.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
I don't want to say anything, but it's our birthday.
I'm sure you knew that already, and I'm sure you've
got a wonderful present one hundred years.

Speaker 6 (57:00):
By the way, Hey, we're back.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
It's recent radio on wt I see News Talk ten eighty.
Thank you guys for checking out the program even though
it's a holiday, and I know that it's usually a
slow news day for you. And we'll get into some
news of Affordable Care Act and stuff is coming up
in a little bit. I want to talk a bit
about that, to break down why the Democrats are so

(57:26):
upset about this and how they're trying to sling mud
on Republicans about the Affordable Care Act even though they
know that they are one hundred percent responsible for why
healthcare premiums are about to go up and In fact,
I'm going to lay out for you how Donald Trump
played a role in all of this and how they're

(57:47):
trying to use that as the means to say it's
his fault. And it's an interesting breakdown. So I've got
all that material coming up. I want to read this
because you know, no holiday in the Union United States
would be a holiday or a memorial or commemoration of

(58:08):
people if somebody didn't throw a little bit of racism
in it. I mean, it just wouldn't be Thanksgiving can't
be Thanksgiving, Christmas can't be Christmas without a little racism.
And I've got to use this particular story as a

(58:30):
cautionary tale to the racists who live amongst us and
those who live and listen to this show. They are racists.
They won't tell you that. They'll use terms like black
nationalists and things like that, but that's what they are.
They're racists. And Donald, let's applaud him. Let's applaud him.

(58:59):
Donald could wait to share this story with me. Donald
was scouring social media and he saw some African Americans
or blacktavist who are on their screaming and hollering about
a story I'd like to share with you from the
perspective of Donald. Donald writes, I'm quite sure this won't

(59:24):
bother you, as most likely see nothing wrong with this.
Black soldiers will removed from a World War Two memorial
and sparks fury from the family. He writes to me,
this is what you as a black man's support. Your

(59:45):
ancestors gave their lives for this country, and this is
what this administration does. You need your damn head examined.
So I write back to him, I say, you really
want to go down this road? Do you really want

(01:00:06):
to go down this road? Do I have to embarrass you?
I guess I have to embarrass you. As I tried
to explain to Don and many others to listen to
this program, I don't follow the news. I am the news,
you know, like Tony Stark says, I am iron man.
I am the news. I do this for a reason.

(01:00:32):
It's my life. He blamed this administration. Don did that
this administration had taken down the memorial of two black soldiers.
You need to have your head examined, he said.

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
Here's the story.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Two informational panels honoring the contributions of African American soldiers
during World War II were removed from the visitor center
at the Netherlands American Cemetery in mark Groton, Netherlands. These
panels were installed in twenty twenty three and featured stories

(01:01:18):
of Technician fourth class George H. Pruitt, a Black soldier
killed in action in nineteen forty four, and Jefferson Wiggins,
a black gravedigger who worked at the cemetery after the war.
The cemetery, managed by the American Battle Monuments commissioned by
the ABMC, commemorates over eight thousand US soldiers, including one

(01:01:44):
hundred and seventy four African Americans who died liberating Europe.
Visitors first noticed the panel's absence in the summer of
twenty twenty five, sparking widespread outrage and n viral claims
on social media accusing the Trump administration of erasing black history.

(01:02:08):
Why was it removed well? The Prue panel was part
of a temporary rotating exhibition of fifteen panels, four of
which highlighted black soldiers, and was removed as scheduled. Wigans
paneled was rotated out following an internal review of interpretive

(01:02:32):
content conducted under the previous ABMC Secretary Charles Charles de Jaux,
a Biden appointee. The panels were not intended to be temporary, advocates,
including Wiggins, widow Janice, and the Dutch Research Group Black
Liberators described them as permanent fixtures and say that they

(01:02:55):
received no advanced notice of the changes, not done by
the Trump administration at all, at all. So silly Donald
got ahead of his skis because of a bunch of
black activists online told them, see Trump hates black people,

(01:03:20):
and he jumped at the chance see this administration. You
need to have your head examined. Well, turns out it
was sure. Bye, Your boy is O the Smoky Joe.
Turns out that this was your buddy. Yeah, you know

(01:03:41):
that guy who says that poor kids are just as
smart as white kids. You know the guy you had
to vote for or you weren't black. Yes, that guy
rotated them out and they were always temporary. By the way,
I wrote to Don, I wrote this to him. Are

(01:04:04):
you trying to blame Americans for this story? Is this
what happens when you have your bias spoon fed to
you by virtually the dumbest people on earth.

Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
You jumped at the chance to accuse your own.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Country of an moral act and it wasn't even here
in the country. You should be ashamed of yourself. Donald
has gone missing from social media, but he'll be back
when he recoups and regains his dignity to come back.

Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
Donald Wenby, we'll see you tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
I get such a joy at proving these folks wrong,
Thomas and Thomaston, Hello.

Speaker 12 (01:04:41):
Sir, hey, go, hey reath, all those people that are
everywhere accusing Republicans and Conservatives of racism. I didn't hear
one of them say anything about Mondamie's mother when she
made those racist statements in that interview about non Indian.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Or I didn't see anybody get
upset when he said, didn't he actually apply to go
to Harvard and state himself as a black man because
he was born in Uganda?

Speaker 8 (01:05:18):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Yeah, I'm a brother.

Speaker 12 (01:05:25):
I forget what's the term, but it's a uh, you know,
it's a common term word in Indian to apply to
non Indians, and it's a very derogative is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Now she's saying, now you're talking about the derogatory word
is about non Indian folks. It's not it's not specific
to any other race. It just means non Indian.

Speaker 12 (01:05:49):
Yeah, yeah, but it's uh, you know, it's.

Speaker 6 (01:05:51):
It's a derogatory term.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Okay, I've never had I'm not I'm not familiar with.

Speaker 6 (01:05:55):
This term at all.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
I'm gonna have to look it up now if I
tell me if I'm is he Ugandan or is he
something else?

Speaker 10 (01:06:05):
I'm not.

Speaker 12 (01:06:06):
She's a famous though, what Katy, Yes, Carrion, I think
she's Indian. I think I've seen a picture of her.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Like, are we talking Indian when I say India, we're
talking like Bollywood Indian?

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Not.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
Did I throw you for a loop when I said
Bollywood because that's not a slur, that's not a no,
that's not slur.

Speaker 12 (01:06:31):
But I'm thinking, you know, I don't want to say.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Yes Indian from India.

Speaker 9 (01:06:40):
Yes, yes, yes, I believe Yeah, and as they slipping
in my mind, you know, she doesn't even call her
son an American or he's whatever the term is for
a you know, hardcore Indian right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Had a hardcore.

Speaker 6 (01:07:03):
Do they wear leather jackets with spikes?

Speaker 12 (01:07:06):
Or she makes the slight of all none Indians so race,
that's something the conservatives in the Democrats could unite the Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Oh absolutely, yeah, exactly Yeah, there you go. We could
call each other that slur that we could thank you,
boss man. I appreciate you. I gotta go to it
break soon enough. Let's what we said. Matt said, Hey, Donald,
I know you're watching. If you were wrong about something,

(01:07:41):
just admitted and move on. Yeah, he should just apologize that.
He should just apologize. But again, look, this is this
is very, very true about these folks and these racist
and race baiters. How would they survive without it? They couldn't.

(01:08:06):
They just couldn't. He needed it to be Donald Trump.
He was thirsting for it. He was thirsty even sitting
there like hungry, starving for another story about Donald Trump.
I really do believe that. You know, there's a thing
that you could do. You can ask for news every day.
It's like alert me, like an alert. It's like, if

(01:08:28):
you have bad news about Donald Trump, alert me here
at this email address. And I think they wake up
every morning waiting for us. It's like global warming folks
like doomsday preppers, tell me everything there is about the
sun and how it's going to kill us. I need

(01:08:49):
to know every day, every day, how the Sun's gonna
kill us. Other other sun raised dangerous today what's the
pollen count? Are the waters rising? What's al Gore doing
right now? Is al Gore giving a speech in Davos

(01:09:09):
about it? I need to yeah, link me in immediately.
That's what these people are, doomsday preppers. They're thirsty every day.
Oh Mark, Oh, Mark's gonna call. Okay, I know I
had a feeling. I don't know why, but I had
a feeling. Anyway, We'll get him on the line. Uh,

(01:09:31):
and do that when he does. Oh, I mean Donald.
Donald's writing right now. He's writing in the Facebook chat.
Let me see if we can get him in the
next thirty seconds. If you if you'll respond. We're waiting
for him. I know he's listening, so he's probably gonna
wait until we go to commercial break before he writes it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:50):
Come on, Donald, Press, send, press send.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
I'm sorry, we gotta go to a break. We'll be back.
More news, more views, and you can shake a stick out.
So Teresa left a new message. I'll read that when
we get back as well. Stand by Aca. Stuff coming
up in Teresa on the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
It's Reese on the radio on newst I see, I
see still nothing yet.

Speaker 6 (01:10:13):
Teresa did want to respond. She says.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
That she's waiting for me here. She does apologize about
her messages. That is the worst thing ever. Teresa said
it on her voicemail. Has this ever happened to you, Roland?
Teresa said on her voicemail. She can't remember the password
to get into her voicemail so that she can clean
out her messages, so she technically, you kind of have
to answer everything, and if you don't, you know, it

(01:10:39):
goes to a voicemail whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
I only had to happen once.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Yeah, I think you do. I think you have to
go to the store and actually get it reset if
you can.

Speaker 6 (01:10:52):
But she does said nor apology. It's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
I felt awful because I was like I was had
to make a decision on what I was going to do,
and I had someone else that was calling me, and
I had like all of these other plans, and I
was trying to honor my commitment to go to see you, Teresa,
and I didn't get to do that, So we made
plans to go somewhere else, and we did that anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:11:12):
When we come back in the next hour.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
The Affordable Care Act, What is the big deal and
why Democrats are so desperate to make a deal on
it why they don't think that Republicans will well. Donald
Trump did during his first administration make it known that

(01:11:36):
he wanted to kill the Affordable Care Act, and he
went through a lot of lengths to do that.

Speaker 6 (01:11:42):
Some of them you know, some of them you do not.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
And what they're fearful of now in knowing that Donald
Trump could very because the negotiation powers in his hand.
And what I mean by that is, if they want
people to stay on this program, they're gonna have to capitulate.
They are going to have to bend the knee to

(01:12:08):
Donald Trump. They knew that, so people suffering was all
they had, and they thought that Donald Trump would care
so badly, and they thought that the the backlash or
the news report, so the news media would play a
huge role in public opinion that would destroy Donald Trump

(01:12:28):
to the point where he had no choice but to move.
But he told the Republicans, don't budge, He'll take the hit.
Donald Trump the last time they had the government shut down,
what did he tell Chuck Schumer? You guys all famously
remember that confrontation in the Oval office Chuck Schumer and
Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi didn't want to go and blow

(01:12:50):
up the whole thing. But Donald Trump looked right at
Chuck Schumer and said, don't worry about it. I'll take
the credit for it. He said in front everybody. Wasn't
a closed door deal. They weren't prepared for that because
they wanted to go out and tell the news media. Yeah,
it's Donald Trump's fault. But Donald Trump said in front
of everybody, that's right. We'll shut down the government, Chuck,
and I'll take the whole thing on my lafe. They

(01:13:11):
knew that Donald Trump was gonna do that, and again
we got then to see Donald Trump as a negotiator.
He'll take the hit. You know what, I'll take the
hit for what I stand for it. Yep, I'll take
every bit of it. Yep. Close shut the government down,
go ahead. Yeah, press is not gonna say anything glowing
about me anyway. What leverage is that? Oh? You the

(01:13:33):
leverages the government, the news media is gonna say horrible
things about me. What else is new? He didn't care
one bit. He didn't care one bit, and not about
this either, and he knew he would win. That's why
old Chris Murphy is all sad. Now. It's actually pretty pathetic.

Speaker 6 (01:13:56):
But I'm gonna talk to you about that in the
next hour.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
What do I do?

Speaker 6 (01:14:00):

(01:18:33):
Let's get another check for weather and traffic.

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Mark ris raising a BPS.

Speaker 4 (01:18:37):
Traffic said it's Reese on the radio on newst I
see I.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
See Mark, you know, son of a brain surgeon. Just
send me this picture. I do not. No, I'm not.

Speaker 6 (01:18:53):
Look I wear a large T shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Yes, I don't need an extra large because I'm skinny fat.
That's why. Skinny fat. There's a thing.

Speaker 6 (01:19:06):
It's a distinction.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
You know. I'm not. You know I'm not. Wouldn't you
consider me? Wouldn't you consider me skinny fat?

Speaker 8 (01:19:14):
Rolling?

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
Right? Yeah, like a skinny fat guy. Yeah, of course
I know that I am. That's okay. I didn't need
you roling anyway. People say, if you look at my legs,
you can tell that I'm sort of a skinny fat
You know, it's weird anyway, all right, so Democrats, we

(01:19:38):
all know the story. The Affordable Care Acts Act was
passed in twenty ten. What did they promise? They promised
that they were lower premiums for most people. You remember
what Obama told us, if you like your plan, you
could keep your plan. Families would save twenty five one

(01:20:00):
hundred dollars a year. But what happened?

Speaker 6 (01:20:06):
Did premiums go up?

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
Yeah? They did? How high did they go up? Well?
After the Act was passed in twenty ten, ACA rates
rose to fifty eight hundred dollars. Three years later in
twenty thirteen, and since twenty twenty three it's gone up

(01:20:33):
twenty three thousand dollars a year. They did not bring
the cost down. It didn't. It was never going to
Why because you couldn't make people buy it even if
they tried. They just didn't want to. And if they didn't,
they were supposed to be penalties for it. But they

(01:20:56):
couldn't stick the landing on penalties. Forcing people to buy
healthcare and then penalizing them if they didn't do it,
and then not pulling the trigger on that penalty is
the start of the problem. Remember, Barack Obama had a

(01:21:19):
reelection campaign and a legacy to protect. Imagine he had
been the guy who was punishing people for not getting
his Affordable Care Act? Why did the premiums rise mandates
forced insurers to cover more from pre existing conditions, no

(01:21:43):
lifetime caps, essential benefits. This was good for sick people,
but cost more to ensure everyone else. Healthy people as
they always did before the Affordable Care Act, did not
sign up. No one signs up for health care when

(01:22:04):
they're in their twenties and they're healthy, and they're going
to the gym and they're living healthy and eating healthy.
This is twenty ten to twenty twelve to twenty thirteen.
Nobody is buying health care in that age group, in
the gluten free toufu kale eating public. Not at twenty seven.

(01:22:25):
They're just not. They don't want that money taken out
of their paycheck. Why because it's already expensive enough to live.
Remember during that era, what was happening People stopped buying cars?
Why because environmental reasons. They would uber and lift. They

(01:22:48):
were talking about green energy, they were eating healthier, they were,
you know, lowering their carbon footprint. They were more aware
of their surroundings. Day in the wind, day in the wind.
For those of you who remember that reference. These people

(01:23:09):
we eat wheat, grass and anything off the ground. Some
of them were experimenting with eating bugs. They didn't need
that Affordable Care Act, the risk corridors and reassurance temporary buffers,
they all expired in twenty sixteen. Insurers lost billions. They

(01:23:33):
lost billions of dollars. And what happens when these industries
lose money, just like they did in the housing crisis. Huh,
they start betting against them so they can get their
money back. You can't just lose money, your steak, your shareholders.

(01:23:54):
The Democrats passed this. They own it. They know that
they own it, and everything that's happened since then, they
are bearing the responsibility and they know it. But they
found a way to blame Donald Trump, and he did
play a role, don't get me wrong. Donald Trump decided
in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 6 (01:24:17):
He got rid of it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
He got rid of the mandate penalty, even though it
wasn't being used. He got rid of it. Why these
people being forced to pay a penalty for not getting
insurance that they don't want. That's freedom. They don't want
healthy insurance. They shouldn't be penalized for it. He hated
the everybody hated the plan. The penalty was meant to

(01:24:40):
force healthy people to sign up, balancing out the sicker
folks in the pool. It was a Ponzi scheme. Without it,
fewer healthy people joined, leaving risk your high high cost pools.
Insurers raised the rates to cover the fact that those
people did not join. Now again, Ponzi scheme. Younger people

(01:25:05):
aren't using it. Older people need their money to pay
for the healthcare that they could get. They are the subsidy.
You could blame Trump for that, sure you can. But
do you think it was right for Barack Obama to
enforce those people to pay for the older folks who
were sick. No, that's what made it a socialist plan

(01:25:27):
in the first place. Now, I'm sure there's some other
folks that are sitting around here talking about but yeah,
shouldn't they care about their fellow man? You pay for it?
Where's your dollars? The outreach and enrollment funding In twenty
sixteen that was cut. They cut that program by eighty percent.

(01:25:48):
How much money there were they spending. Sixty two million
dollars was being spent on it. Trump's cut that down
a ten million. It ended all of the ad it's
about the ACA. I'm not exactly sure why that's a problem,
But why were they spending sixty two million dollars to

(01:26:08):
promote the Affordable Care Act? It was all anyone was
talking about. We lived it. Obamacare was on the lips
of even the most lay folks watching the news. Everybody
knew that term. They say that Donald Trump pushed junk plans,

(01:26:29):
expanded short term plans up to three hundred and sixty
four days in association. Excuse me, health plans were cheap,
but they were skimpy, no pre existing coverage and limits
on benefits. You mean, like regular healthcare. You buy the
package that you want. You want to buy the most

(01:26:51):
minimum plan you can pay for the stuff. You know,
it's like, you know, it's like a Schmortgsborg of hell
care that you can purchase, or health insurance for that matter.
That's what they're calling a problem. That's why they're blaming
that part on Trump because he's not forcing everyone to
be on it. But it should have been doing the

(01:27:14):
thing that was supposed to do in the early parts
of the administration. You pass it in twenty ten, you
have until twenty sixteen to make it work. It never
got better, it got worse. Everything that they told us
didn't happen. It's how the Barack Obama got the four
pinocchios in the Washington Post biggest lie of the Year

(01:27:36):
view If you want your plan, you could keep your plan,
but they needed to stay. Why why must it stay?
Sadly enough, it has nothing to do with the Affordable
Care Act as it stands as an Affordable Care Act
or an insurance policy or anything, has nothing nothing to

(01:28:00):
do with that. If the Affordable Care Act is done
at here, done so completely gone, what's Barack Obama got left?
What legislation stands firm in the I guess in the
spirit of.

Speaker 6 (01:28:22):
Being a president.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
I mean every president has something that they lay their
hat on as something that was, you know, like FDR
you know, had had the what's it called the whatever
the Deal? And Lyndon B. Johnson had the Great Society,

(01:28:48):
you know, George W. Bush had the War on Terror.
Ronald Reagan had teared down this wall and fighting of
communist him. What does Barack Obama have? He's got nothing.
He's got nothing. What can you say about his administration? Nothing?

(01:29:14):
He actually gets reduced to the BLM president. That's what
he is. If the Affordable Care Act is gone, that's
who he is. He is the BLM president. God bless him,
God bless him. Ninety million dollars later in the toilet

(01:29:35):
going into the coffers of lesbian black women to buy
real estate. That's what he is. That's what that's that's
what he brought to us. He gave us racial tension.
That's what he would be remembered for. If the Affordable
Care Act dies. They're trying to save him from himself.
That's all just trying to save his legacy. It's the

(01:29:58):
reason why they call it his his signature achievement. Once
that's gone, once that's over, it's a footnote to an
entire presidency that is meaningless. And if Donald Trump is
the person that gets rid of that, oh oh, what
does that say at the end of the day, that

(01:30:22):
the most consequential president of our lifetime turns out to
be Trump not Obama? Obama just ends up being that
black guy. Sorry, sorry, I know it sounds mean. I
don't care. I'm done caring. I'm done caring. I knew

(01:30:46):
the guy was a bus from day one. I knew
he was a joke. From day one. I knew he
was a bore. I knew he was a blatherer. I
knew it from day one. And I love I love
every day watching his legacy gets ship the way. Love it,
love it. It makes me feel good, warm and cozy inside.

(01:31:08):
Watching his legacy disappear. It's like drinking cocoa in the
Swiss Alps. Feel so good. Let's gory. Cherry's on the line. Hello, Jerry,
how are you hey?

Speaker 11 (01:31:25):
Would you take a call about the veteran's day or
an aspect? Okay, I know you're talking. I just I
just jumped on, just jumped on now.

Speaker 6 (01:31:35):
Again the whole show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
That's okay. I told everybody today, regardless of what we're
talking about, I want to hear from family members, if
you were a veteran, if you got a family member
was a veteran, and call in and show your respect
to those who have served. My wife is also a veteran.
I showed her some love earlier, and of course you
have the opportunity.

Speaker 11 (01:31:53):
Go for it well. Regarding family members, my father served
and my sons served. I am not a veteran, but
they my father was and my son is. So what
I was calling about today is the Veterans Day Parade
in New York City.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
And if you.

Speaker 11 (01:32:11):
Look, if you look back over the last seventy five years,
the conflicts that the American soldier have been in the
Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War have been
against international communism, and more recently the conflicts have been
against international Jihatiism. Yeah, so it's either a war on

(01:32:33):
communist or war on terrorists. So if you look at
next year's Memorial Cup Veterans Day Parade in New York City,
will this Mandami guy, since the American soldier has been
fighting communism and Jihatism his two his two main constituents.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
That's a great question.

Speaker 11 (01:32:53):
Will they Will he have like an Isis brigade or
Tider brigade or or a Red Army. Maybe they'll resurrect
the Red Army, the march down.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
I don't, I gotta be honest with you. No, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me. If there's anything that I understand is
that your question is not a joke you and that
is not tongue in cheek at all. That is a
very good point, because you know what, I would put
it this way, even if Mom Donnie has no say
in next year's Veterans Day Parade. The question must be

(01:33:27):
will he march in it? Will he preside? Will he
preside over said of Veterans Day Parade? And that is
a very important look. He will be the and I'm
almost certain he will be. Yeah, he will be. He
will be the mayor of New York for the twenty

(01:33:47):
fifth anniversary of September eleventh. How will he commemorate that day?
A guy who is known to say glow, belies the Intafada,
who has shown disrespect for police.

Speaker 6 (01:34:04):
Officers, who said he's going to replace them.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Yeah, it's going to be a day that I'm telling
you that the world will be watching just to see
exactly the sentiment that he will show the world, because
all os will be on New York on those days.
You're one hundred percent right, Well.

Speaker 11 (01:34:23):
That's well, we've been forewarned. And so we'll know that
that our veterans who fought against communism and against Johnnyism
have an enemy, not a friend in New York City
Hall starting next year.

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
They sure do.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
And they asked for it. And look, and maybe I'm
unlike most people, but you know, I've wanted New York
to elect this guy.

Speaker 6 (01:34:47):
And I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
When it comes to our children, we say to them
all the time, you know, don't put your hand on
the stove, but they usually don't learn until they do.
And this is one of those moments where young people
and eighty four percent of young women ages eighteen to
forty voted for this moron, and maybe they have to
go through it so they can understand exactly what we've

(01:35:11):
been trying to warn them about free I mean generations
now that we're gonna be inviting that into our own
home and we're not going to know the country that
we built after they allow them in.

Speaker 11 (01:35:24):
Well, I agree with you. And I heard that he
nominated the psychopath, the congressman that pulled the fire alarm
to be his school chancellor. So what I propose is
when this guy takes over, Yeah, every public school in
New York, if there's one hundred, if there's five hundred,
if there's a thousand, the day this guy takes over,
somebody pulled the fire alarm, I have hundreds of thousands

(01:35:49):
of children out on the street because this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Yeah, I got to take a heartbreak, but I appreciate
the call. Thank you so much man, and thank you.
Call to your family for their service. Stay locked in,
locked in. Griese on the radio is on wt I see. Anyway,
we are back. More news, more views, will get some

(01:36:13):
more weather and traffic. In a second from Mark Christopher,
I've got some real, real creepy text messages. This is
you know again, why when people send me messages on Facebook?
I immediately go like, Okay, who are you? You know? I

(01:36:34):
don't I don't know who these people are on social media,
but I'm gonna just read you what the message says.
The message says, these are the type of people you
are friends with on Facebook. Seems like a ridiculous statement,
but anyway, So someone that I know who I am
friends with on Facebook, and when I say friends with

(01:36:56):
on Facebook, he friended me and I accepted. They were
in a back and forth in exchange. This individual, whom
I do not know and is not a friend of mine,
own Facebook. They were going in an exchange back and forth.
And the person who has friended me on Facebook wrote
a post to that individual with a picture a meme

(01:37:19):
of Yogi and Booboo from Yogi Bear and eight uses
the N word. Let me just put it out, put
it out there. It does.

Speaker 6 (01:37:29):
So then the individual.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Who obviously maybe listens to my show or may have
just caught my show, or whatever the case is, then
comes to me and says, dig a type of friends
you are on Facebook? Let me help you. Let me
help you. I'm going to help you in a lot
of people. Okay, you don't want to go down that

(01:37:52):
road with me. You don't want to go down that road.
I'll annihilate you, I'll embarrass you, and I will make
you cry. Grown men, I will I will make you cry.
You don't want to go down that road with me.
I don't give a damn what he said to you
want to give a damn what he posted to you.

(01:38:13):
You're trying to shame me because of what somebody else says.
Deal with that, grown man, if you got any real chops,
you'll deal with him as a grown up.

Speaker 6 (01:38:21):
You come to me for what?

Speaker 2 (01:38:22):
Am I his father? You come to me like I'm
his daddy. Do you think I'm gonna go over to
him a young man? Do you act better? Now? Pull
up your belt there, buddy, pull your socks up, pull
your sneakers up, whatever you gotta do. But if you're
offended by something, and that man wrote to you, go
hand to your business. She's coming to me for don't

(01:38:46):
whine to me. I don't care what he wrote. I
believe in free speech. Now let me tell you why
I'm gonna talk about this, because we have a story
here in Connecticut that applies to this, and I'll talk
about it in a little bit. It is a very
very important story that a lot of these folks need
to understand that it has to do with free speech.

(01:39:12):
And so when you start asking me to start tailing
other people's free speech, my answer is never going to
be yeah, we should look into that. It is always no.
And I'll tell you about that in a little bit.
So I'm hoping you're paying attention. I hope you're here.
What's your name, Darius? Yeah, I'm hoping you're listening. Darius,
great name. By the way, we're going to give you

(01:39:34):
a lesson or two when we return stand by. Let's
get another check of weather in traffic mark Chris Very's
in the BPS traffic center.

Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
The NAACP calls him.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
WHOA, I don't think I'm a want to read this.

Speaker 4 (01:39:48):
It's Reese on the radio. Let's just say some people
are not fans news talk to ADWT.

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
I see now, I've got to read this off the
computer because I thought I had a print out of it,
but it turns out I didn't grab it. But this
one is from the New Haven Register. Former Connecticut teacher
who used the N word in class covered by free speech.
You go, girl, all right, before the NAACP loses its mind,

(01:40:23):
let me explain to you why this ruling was important.

Speaker 6 (01:40:27):
Okay, this happened in Middletown.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
A judge found that a former Middletown teacher was justified
in complaining about the school's scapegoating of her for speaking
a slur during a lesson on racial epithets. Crystal Byrd's
lawsuit in a state superior court in Middletown can move
forward after Judge Sheila o'zil's shot down the school's district's

(01:40:52):
bid to strike her complaint. Bird, who began working full
time for the district back in nineteen ninety seven, contends
that the suit filed January, that the school officials retaliated
against her for exercising her free speech rights and destroyed
her career. Bird taught health education and cultural diversity between

(01:41:15):
nineteen ninety seven and twenty twenty one. According to the complaint,
which focuses on her eighth grade class at Berman Middle
School of Beaman's Middle School, I apologize. During that lesson,
Byrd highlighted derogatory terms, including the N word, with the
goal of helping students make better decisions in life by

(01:41:37):
providing a better understanding of the words, their origins and
their pernicious use. According to the suit, Byrd, who's now
fifty eight years old, framed the discussion around the N
word as one of the most derogatory, derogatory, and offensive
slurs against any racial ethnic group. According to the court documents,
she had taught for the same lesson, which was part

(01:42:00):
of an approved curriculum, for years, and drew no complaints
according to the suit.

Speaker 6 (01:42:07):
Until this time.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
On October twenty ninth of twenty twenty one, Bird presented
the lesson to two classes without incident, but during the
third class, a black student objected to Bird using the
N word and stated that she felt uncomfortable and then
turned around in her turned her seat away from the plaintiff.

(01:42:32):
According to the lawsuit, another student said that Bird, as
a white person, had no business using the word and
a student next to her. Agreed court documents say a
power professional in the classroom astitute students how they felt
how they would like the topic to be taught, and

(01:42:54):
both girls said it should be taught by a teacher
of color. The conferenceation quickly became the focus of complaints
from parents and other residents on a hot topic, on
a social media post that included audio recordings of the
lesson being taken by one student that evening. The complaint

(01:43:15):
says the school's principal, Raymond Byron, placed Bird on paid leave,
and her teaching career spiraled downward from that point. The
school district contended that Bird's complaint did not cover speech
protected under the state law and legal precedent, including speech
addressing threats to health and safety, and therefore her complaints

(01:43:39):
should be stricken from the record in die or stricken entirely.
Her speech rather dealt with problems that, although embedded in
our nation's social fabric, were nonetheless abstract in their discussion
and application, The lawyers contended, Ozealis disagreed, finding Bird's lesson
did a dress a threat to health and safety, and

(01:44:03):
citing state law that says employers are liable for damage
when they punish workers for exercising protected rights. The judge
also noted that, according to birds complaint, the district had
approved the lesson as part of the curriculum. Quote like
she had said in years past. The plaintive alleges she

(01:44:25):
simply taught her students to recognize racial epithets and prepare
them to confront such words outside the.

Speaker 6 (01:44:33):
Classroom in their communities. And she did so she's allowed
to go further. She will more than.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
Likely win her lawsuit or they will settle, as most
schools do.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
In this case.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
So when I hear these people screaming and hollering about
the N word and who can use it, I say
to them, no, you don't get to tell us you
don't and I don't care. I've never cared, and I'm
just to be honest, like I said, I'm just happy
that she look. I know the gravity of the word,

(01:45:18):
I know how it affects people, but I think that
you know, at some point, people have got to decide
on whether or not that word is okay to use
or isn't.

Speaker 6 (01:45:35):
And you've got to be consistent.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
That's all I ask. Just be consistent, be consistent every
day with that word agreed, action speak louder than words
they are. Yeah, which group benefits the most from free?
I don't know what you're talking about there. It's incredible anyway, Oh,

(01:45:58):
Donald says, I defend her right to say whatever she wants.
It's not what you say, it's what you do. Well,
I wish you could tell some people that. I wish
you could tell some people that. I wish some people
would listen to that. You know, tomorrow's program, we're gonna
get back to the normal norm because I know it's holiday.

Speaker 6 (01:46:17):
This building is empty.

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
If it's it's like a ghost town in here, Roland,
like they just take off. It's like nobody's here, and
the only people who hear us are the people who
are listening on the radio. Do you ever? And you said,
are you? Do you get double time today? Do I
get double time today? Why not? Why don't I get

(01:46:47):
double time? I don't get paid. I don't get paid. Well,
I was on wb E N today, so I did
get I did make a little bit of a oh yeah, okay, yeah,
let's not go there big Bucks. Well, yeah, okay, I
get paid. Well, I'm not gonna complain about that. Uh.

(01:47:08):
Matt says why not just used Why not use that
word at all? Is there a reason to use that word?

Speaker 6 (01:47:18):
Damn, I have time, I'm going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
There, Okay, I gotta.

Speaker 6 (01:47:28):
It's just one of those things.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
It's like using the word mother, you know, mother blank,
It's like using the F bom. It's necessary. It's language.
Language is necessary. Words are necessary, they are important, they
have mean it and they convey something.

Speaker 8 (01:47:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
I do this on the radio because I understand like
some people, I've heard people diminish my job. You know,
my little one Ethan, well he's twenty seven, twenty eight now,
but he used to say that when he was younger,
about nine years old. I said, hey boy, what does
your dad do? Talk on the radio? Thanks kid, thank you?

(01:48:15):
How do you like that new bike's talking on the radio.
But words have meaning and words are effective. They don't
just convey ideas. They do more. They motivate, they inspire,

(01:48:37):
and on the other side, they can hurt, they can harm,
egos get bruised. That's why I love the English language
in particular. There are things that you can say in
other language. You could probably do the same thing you
do in English language, but if you convey it, the
right way, our language right here. If you do it

(01:48:59):
the right way, like a smart way, you can do
a lot. You can do a lot. And I'll tell
you man, that N word. I know people think it's ugly,
but it's supposed to be God doesn't make mistakes. That
word is supposed to be ugly. I supposed it's supposed

(01:49:21):
to have the the effect that it does. That's why
I understand it. And it has no power over me,
but knowing the power it has over others is the
greatest gift I've ever been given. Let me explain, Matt,

(01:49:42):
because Maddio's in the chat room asking about it, So
let me explain it to you. Imagine Superman and lead
or Superman and bullets, or Superman in a train or
Superman in a punch.

Speaker 9 (01:49:59):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
I can never affect him, doesn't matter, but all of
those things would affect you. If it bounced off him
and hit you, you'd be rendered, you know, hurt, dead.
Even imagine having the power to control the effect of
words on you and knowing that others cannot even sustain

(01:50:22):
the damage of that word. I told you about the
time that the guy shot at me inside of a bar. Okay,
I'll tell you what happened. It was real simple. He
and I were going back at the fourth at each
other and the jokes were getting a little more severe
on my end, but I was very jovial about it.

Speaker 6 (01:50:42):
I was having a good time.

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
And when you ever get into a dozens with me,
I can get really raw if I want to humiliate you,
having the gift of gap because nothing is off limits.
Some people have a limited vocabulary and a limited ability
to insult people in that exchange, and he then went

(01:51:05):
after my mother. Now, under any other normal circumstances, a
guy who had heard what that guy said about my mother,
he'd have gone off in a fight. Ensued, what you
say about my mama? I did not take de bait.
What he said about my mom got a roar of
the crowd. Oh snap, the whole crowd went off. I

(01:51:29):
should have been humiliated because he had a crowd, But
I said, no, you're right. Everything you said about my
mother is true. But now let's talk about the filthy, disgusting.
And I went in on his mother. After I confirmed
that what he said about my mother was absolutely true,

(01:51:51):
I said, you're absolutely right what you said about my mother.

Speaker 6 (01:51:53):
It was one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:51:54):
She is all of those things, But no, I really
want to have a conversation about the filthy, disgusting and
that I went in on his mother and the crowd
didn't know what to do. They all stopped like they
had just seen a car accident. When I was done,
there was no oh.

Speaker 20 (01:52:14):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
It was shock.

Speaker 6 (01:52:21):
That I had gone there and I had done it
with a smile.

Speaker 2 (01:52:26):
And he lost it and he pulled out a small,
little twenty two. I grabbed it, fired right next to me.
Bouncers grabbed us and pulled me out. I had to
be escorted a couple of blocks away, never to return
to that bar. I was eighty six forever. But I
did not throw the first punch. I barely threw the

(01:52:49):
first I barely did.

Speaker 6 (01:52:51):
I just ended it, That's all I did.

Speaker 2 (01:52:55):
I ended it with my words, and he couldn't take it.
Words are powerful. I understand that. I understood that then,
and that was way before I was in radio. I
knew exactly how to get him. I knew exactly where

(01:53:15):
to touch. It was like a pressure point. I knew
exactly what to say, when to say it, how to
put the inflection, and I knew exactly how to deliver it.
And I didn't blink. I simply smiled and I said
it like I loved saying it. And it hurt.

Speaker 6 (01:53:38):
You to think I'd pull the gun out on him.

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
And afterwards, even afterwards, I'll be honest with you, I
didn't run around saying I can't believe he pulled the gun.
He didn't have a choice. I humiliated him. It was
the only way he could respond the things that I
said about him in that moment in front of a
crowd of people. He only had one retaliate. He only

(01:54:08):
had one way to retaliate. He had to do it.
That was how bad I insulted him. So when people
say why have the word, that's why. Because some people
are affected by it. They need to understand the power
of that word. I understand it.

Speaker 6 (01:54:32):
One day, Mattie, Oh, you and I.

Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Will have a conversation privately, and I'll tell you one day,
I had to say that word to someone to understand
its power, because he kept using it the entire night.
And he was a young black kid, just n word
en word end word, you know, with the A at
the end. And I pulled him close and I whispered
in his ear, hard are and he jumped back. He

(01:55:01):
didn't know what to do with himself. I said, that's
what that word sounds like when you say it. Powerful stuff.
H So when you ask that question, that's why.

Speaker 6 (01:55:17):
I want.

Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
I want them to understand how powerful that is, and
I want them to get angry about it every time
they hear it. That's all. It's just an interesting thing
to note. I'm sorry, I got in a little dark
place right there. When we come back. Uh, let's say,
if we get some Hollywood news in your I there's
a book that's got a remake coming out and it

(01:55:40):
has to do it an actress I mentioned yesterday, And
now I'm even more angry about this woman, not about
like I'm not. I'm not hating on her, but again,
I'm still trying to understand it. We'll talk about it
when we get back.

Speaker 17 (01:55:52):
It's the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
The bag's a punch punch. It's Reese on the radio
on wt I see news talk.

Speaker 2 (01:56:02):
I got it. Well, what the heck, I'm just doing
the thing. It's Hollywood Now.

Speaker 21 (01:56:11):
With your correspondent, every song already, all all the glitz
and all the glamor. It's Hollywood New. Okay, So I
didn't have to read this in school.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
But I know that there are millions of women out
there who have read about it. By the way, ladies,
if you have, because I know there are some readers
out there, Laurie, I know you're one of them, and
I know some other readers are out there. Have ye
if you, ladies, if you've read the book Weathering Heights.
I always thought it was Weathering Heights. I know it's Wuthering,

(01:56:48):
but apparently it is. You know this romance novel by
Emily Bronte. Is it Bront? Emily Bront Is that her name?
I don't know. Do you know anything about this? Okay,
this isn't a guy's thing. So again there's there have
been movie adaptations about this, and now they're doing it
again and they're bringing in somebody. Cannot understand why, because

(01:57:12):
I wouldn't even see her as somebody in a book
like this, Marco Robbie. This is like, you know, this
is a movie that you give to one of those
English actresses who are very esteemed with the dark hair,
who uses a lot of thou and theys and you know,
thou arts and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (01:57:33):
It's just that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:57:34):
This seems like a silly movie to get average women
to go see Weathering Heights and you know, wouldn't read
the book. I know it's probably not for me, But
movies like this, I don't understand why they make them.

Speaker 6 (01:57:49):
And I'm also finding out.

Speaker 2 (01:57:51):
Speaking of other horrible ideas, I just learned recently that
the movie that Sidney Sweeney came out with Chrissy or
whatever it's called, about the female boxer, apparently it bombed
at the box office. Okay, can I give somebody a
hint in Hollywood? Who thought that you were going to

(01:58:12):
have men run to the theater to watch Sidney Sweeney
put on fifty pounds and box in a boxing ring?
Who thought that that was gonna be appealing to the
guys who were crazy about that woman? Who thought that
Who was gonna who was going to run to the
theater for that one? At all? A female boxer you

(01:58:36):
thought you were gonna get? You barely got that from
Million Dollar Baby. By the way, did you ever see that?

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
Yeah? I did?

Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
Did you see that? What did you think of that movie?

Speaker 3 (01:58:43):
It was all right?

Speaker 2 (01:58:44):
See all right, female boxing movie? All right, even though
it won Oscars, He said it was all right. Mark
Chris I know I'm not even gonna ask, but I'm
so glad because he doesn't have to endure this mark Christophers.

Speaker 19 (01:58:57):
Don't don't have well, I will tell you though, read.

Speaker 2 (01:59:01):
It's on the radio on.

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
T I see.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
I love it when the ladies correct me, especially when
I butcher a woman's name. So I guess, Emily Bronta
is the name Maz just told, just collected, corrected me.

Speaker 6 (01:59:17):
She just said it's Bronta.

Speaker 2 (01:59:18):
I'm like, okay, all right, Bronta, whatever her name is.
But Maz goes on to say it's it's not my
type of book. I'm more of a Jane Austen girl. Maz.
I knew you were a Jane Austen girl. Most girls are.
And you probably watched the movies. I've been forced to

(01:59:39):
watch Pride and Prejudice far too many times that I'm
willing to repeat. And you know what, I will admit,
I don't know why, but I watched that that movie
with what's the name Kira Knightley, and I'm watching it
and I don't even want to watch it. And then
all of a sudden, I'm asking Roseanne questions, Okay, what

(02:00:00):
what's his problem with her? Because He's like, what do
you mean he loves her? But he acts like he
doesn't care about anybody? Like why am I watching this?
Why do I have so many questions? I guess because
it's on TV, and I figured I got to ask.
If I don't understand it, I've got to ask anyway. Okay,
so who's this?

Speaker 6 (02:00:17):
Why are they getting married? They don't see she doesn't
love him?

Speaker 2 (02:00:23):
To me? Every time, I hate it drives me up
the wall. I'll go to the phones in a second,
but I gotta play this. Remember yesterday when I played
Chris Murphy and how exhausted he was. He was so
upset about the fact that the government shutdown was going

(02:00:43):
to end. And you know, this is exactly what he
said his own words, he said he needs the pain.

Speaker 20 (02:00:50):
The vote hasn't closed, but he looks like Eight Democrats
have joined Republicans to vote for a temporary reopening of
the government for two months, but a bill with no
protections to stop the coming health care disaster in this
country caused by Donald Trump's premium increases, nor any provisions
to meaningfully Trump stopped Trump's corruption and his illegality. You

(02:01:15):
can see how tired I am I've been here all weekend.
I've been working throughout the past few weeks to try
to prevent this moment out.

Speaker 6 (02:01:23):
Did you lift the rock?

Speaker 8 (02:01:25):
Like?

Speaker 6 (02:01:25):
Did you lift anything?

Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
Working all week?

Speaker 14 (02:01:29):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:01:29):
What exactly were you working at, Chris Murphy, what were
you working at? I see your sleeves are all rolled up, Like,
what was the work you did? Did you push a
piece of paper across the desk? Did you talk on
the phone? But what's the work that you've been doing?

(02:01:50):
You're so haggard about it. I've been working all week,
working long, long hours because you can see nothing. I'm
absolutely exhausted.

Speaker 20 (02:02:02):
For the elections on Tuesday, it just became absolutely clear
that the American people do not want Democrats to be
bullied into submission. They want Democrats to fight for their
health care. They want Democrats to fight Trump's illegality. Bullies
gained power when righteous people yield in the face of
their wrongdoing.

Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
We are righteous. We are righteous. Bullies prevail when righteous
people fail to step up, and we are the righteous.
That's what Chris murrif do you and and then went
on to say, say you know that, you know people
have to feel pain.

Speaker 20 (02:02:40):
And all of my colleagues that this is a unique
moment and the necessity to stand and fight even when
it's hard, even when it involves pain.

Speaker 2 (02:02:51):
That's right, even when it involves necessary pain. To necessary,
they must feel the pain.

Speaker 18 (02:02:59):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:02:59):
Dick Durbin, he was on the was it Senate floor?
Here's what he said, very similar.

Speaker 14 (02:03:06):
After lengthy negotiations, an agreement was reached with the Republican
Senate Leader John Thune. We will agree to open the
government until January thirtieth, twenty twenty six. During that time,
we will pass three bipartisan appropriation bills that will fully
fund snap Wick and all the veterans programs, and finish

(02:03:28):
our work on the remaining spending bills for this fiscal year.

Speaker 2 (02:03:33):
Yay, yay Dick Jurbin. By the way, the first time
Roland ever heard his name, Roland said that guy that
his real Natan.

Speaker 14 (02:03:47):
The agreement would also reverse the Trump administration's mass firings
during the shutdown and prevent future ones through January thirty thirtieth.
We credit Senator Kane of Virginia for this provision. Leader
Thune has also promised the Democrats an opportunity before mid
December to present a Democratic bill on the floor with

(02:04:08):
proposals to change the law and protect American families from
dramatic health care premium increases.

Speaker 2 (02:04:15):
Yay, right, Dick, yay right. Should we be happy? I decaid,
we're gonna, We're gonna have a debate. You're gonna figure
it out. Come on, yay, Dick.

Speaker 14 (02:04:27):
It is my fervent hope that this ends up being
a bipartisan effort. It would be such an achievement of
the Senate to finally return to that status.

Speaker 2 (02:04:36):
You mean the bipartisan agreement to implement Obamacare or the
Affordable Care Act in the beginning, You mean the one
that obviously the Republicans and Democrats. But oh no, not,
it didn't happen to anything.

Speaker 14 (02:04:50):
So I've served in the Senate for twenty nine years,
and I've never seen that kind of offered from a
Senate majority. During the historic row call last night, I
walked across the aisle and met with Senator John Thunne,
the Republican leader. I told him that I was counting
on him to keep his word on this agreement. He

(02:05:13):
assured me he would. The fate of this effort depends
on both the Senate and the House of representatives after
a seven week absence, the Speaker Johnson needs to call
his members back and join us in the hard work
that lies ahead.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
What hard work? The lines ahead? Chris Murphy just told
us he was already working hard. Want to be a
hard work to Elizahead, weren't you working hard all this
entire time? Chris Murphy said, he was working already. He
rolled up his slaves. I seen them.

Speaker 14 (02:05:43):
Many of my friends are unhappy. They think we should
have kept our government closed indefinitely to protest the policies
of the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 (02:05:51):
Hmm.

Speaker 14 (02:05:52):
I share their opinions of this administration. It cannot accept
a strategy which wages political battle at the expense of
my name versus paycheck or the food for his children.

Speaker 2 (02:06:03):
Ah, that's right, at the expense of my neighbor's paycheck
or food for his children. He gave up the goods.
That's what the whole thing was. They were going to
starve them out. They're going to starve him out and
hold him out un till Trump gave in. Good job, Dad, Dick.

(02:06:28):
I appreciate you, but you know what, we got it
all back in the morning. You know, hey, celebration She
ever celebration.

Speaker 6 (02:06:36):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (02:06:38):
What's going on? Fulton? How are you, sir?

Speaker 8 (02:06:41):
What's up? Buddy? What pain is Chris Murphy feel like?

Speaker 22 (02:06:43):
But he didn't give up? Hey he's I mean besides,
like in Bissil line, I don't know if that hurts
when it moves your teeth, I don't know, but I
heard that and how to get on that. But I
really want to thank everybod I want to thank everybody,
uh well, the veterans, every serve, the Coast Guard, police.

Speaker 2 (02:07:02):
Fireman, thank you, thank you, sir, everybody on.

Speaker 22 (02:07:05):
Today for the hard work you guys do to keep
America going. And uh, I mean it's all I gotta say.
I want to thank your wife. You know, she's up
one hundred percent, you know, retired, and yeah, you know,
I thank her family. Like people don't realize that families
go through the worst. Yeah, and like like your son
doesn't see you for a year and a half. It's
brutal the people, So just realize that. And I want

(02:07:28):
to bring up a number, and it's a real number. Now,
it's eighteen eighteen. It's not twenty two. It's eighteen people,
eighteen veterans, A day killed himselfs wow, So if you
know a veteran, he lives alone and maybe he's struggling.
I don't know, give him a ring, check in on
him because my police partners are a murder suicide.

Speaker 2 (02:07:43):
So wow.

Speaker 22 (02:07:45):
It touches everybody for real, like you check in and
just you'll probably maybe stave a line.

Speaker 6 (02:07:50):
Absolutely, man, thank you, ful to. I appreciate you.

Speaker 8 (02:07:53):
That's taking my call today, buddy, my pleasure man.

Speaker 2 (02:07:56):
Uh, you got it. George is calling all the way
from Saint Louis. What's going on there, sir hi reees.

Speaker 7 (02:08:04):
I want to talk about the dumbing down of America
when when they voted for Mangati, he had no authority
at all to to lower you know, lower the bus
fairs or free bus fairs, or had no no authority

(02:08:24):
for low income housing, no authority for for the uh,
the federalized grocery stores, none of that, and yet they
voted for them. They voted a communists in there, and
they didn't even examine what communists. The dumbing real dumbing

(02:08:44):
down is people didn't examine what communism was all about.

Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
What do you think? What do you make of Kathy
Holkal saying in essence after the election that some of
the things that Mamdanie is talking about is a pipe dream.
Do you think she eventually caves because she's got to
run for re election anyway, and she may need the
very voters who elected him.

Speaker 7 (02:09:08):
Uh, you know, I wouldn't even call it a pipe dream.
It's an impact. If it's it's Christmas is to giveaway,
it's Santa Claus, which does not exist. Oh, I hope
kids didn't hear that. And and and they they they
think they're going to get something for nothing. So the

(02:09:30):
same thing happened with Obamacare.

Speaker 2 (02:09:32):
Let's let's talk about earlier.

Speaker 7 (02:09:35):
Yeah, but by the way, uh, it's it's the insurance
medical insurance executives that that get all the money.

Speaker 2 (02:09:43):
They're the ones.

Speaker 7 (02:09:45):
It's the federal government pain uh for the insurance executives,
which financed the Democrat Party. So you had you had
this system going this this, I would you know, I
would you know, I would I would call it a

(02:10:06):
you know, like a Ponzi scheme. And it's ninety you're
paying ninety six percent more now than you were when
I first started, So that makes that guarantees it's a
Ponzi scheme. Right there, and and the the Trump wants
to give the money directly to to the to the people, right,

(02:10:28):
not to the insurance executives, and not directly to the
Democrat Party. So you have all of you have, you
have all of these ponzie schemes that the Democrats have
set up through the ages that that Trump has been
knocking down over the last several months. You know, you

(02:10:49):
don't call it drugs, you know, you know, you know, drugs, gambling,
remember the gambling problem. He's knocking down all of.

Speaker 12 (02:10:59):
The revenue raising.

Speaker 7 (02:11:03):
Schemes that the Democrats have have have instituted for years.

Speaker 2 (02:11:09):
Did you hear what they were doing back in twenty seventeen,
Trump cut what's called the Navigator program by eighty percent.
And what that was, It was nothing more than outreach
and like commercials for the Affordable Care Act. They were
spending sixty two million dollars on that on the Affordable
Care Act, which in essence, almost every person in the

(02:11:30):
country knew intimately what it was.

Speaker 7 (02:11:33):
Yeah, what what?

Speaker 8 (02:11:34):
What?

Speaker 7 (02:11:35):
What actually happens is very little money filters to the
to the recipients, very little money it goes for healthcare.
Most of it goes for the insurance and insurance executives.
That's the scheme. Now that that's what we got to
knock down. That we have to recognize as the Democrat

(02:11:55):
Party as the rackets they are. They are the raget
they are, They're the Godfather. Okay, so we gotta we
gotta knock we gotta knock them out of the box forever.

Speaker 2 (02:12:08):
Yeah, they a get it. There should be no coming
back for the Democrat Party. I know these people keep
telling us over like, well, the Democrat Party have ever
find it's footing if we're lucky, No, if we're lucky.

Speaker 7 (02:12:21):
Never.

Speaker 2 (02:12:22):
Indeed, thank you, George. I appreciate you, sir. Happy Veterans Day.
Tell you sir, this, Ned says fifteen plus family members
served Ted Theodore, my father in law, founding member Vietnam War,
along with Walter first bike out on Rolling Thunder. Unfortunately

(02:12:44):
he's not with us anymore. Ned, thank you and your family, sir,
because you're all in some way play a role in
in serving for the rest of us. We really do
appreciate that. Salvador says, I prefer Richard hit.

Speaker 3 (02:13:01):
Richard ed.

Speaker 2 (02:13:02):
I got that, just got it. Donald says, all of
this is Joe's fault. No, it is not Joe's fault.
It is Obama's fault because he was the one who
said that he could fundamentally, he could fundamentally change the
United States. Those are his words, not mine. We will

(02:13:22):
fundamentally change the United States, and he set out to
do it, and if we're lucky, we will help him fail.
I remember when Rush said it four words for you.
I hope he fails, and I do. And like I said,
I hope his presidency is just a footnote in our history.

(02:13:44):
And I hope that upsets you too. I hope that
upsets you as well. I don't know if I told
that story before, but it was me who said, I'm
so happy the experiment is over. That cut like a knife.
A lot of people didn't like that.

Speaker 6 (02:14:06):
Let's take a break, Let's get another checker.

call let us know that you were celebrating Veterans Day,
if you were a veteran, if you wanted to send
a shout out to family members, people that you love,

give us a call at eights zero five to two

you can go to rest on Radio dot com.

Speaker 6 (02:14:50):
That's our E E S E on the radio dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:14:53):
Join us on Facebook orn X and you can also
send your message there. And of course I'll either on
the air, and a couple of people have done that today.
And a lot of people are out of work today,
so we don't have the regular work crowd out on
the street or you know, on the on the on
the roads. So it seems kind of quiet, like we're all,

(02:15:17):
you know, we all came to school while everybody else
would took the day off.

Speaker 6 (02:15:24):
And if they're not in the car, they're not listening.

Speaker 2 (02:15:26):
Can I if I could, I can't really talk about this,
but I just I kind of want to acknowledge it
because let's just it's let's just call it inside Baseball.
And I won't say anything about that because people will
get mad if I do so. But I want to say, uh,
I want I want to send a shout out to

(02:15:48):
my wife. Secondly, I want to send a shout out
to you women in the audience, ladies in the audience
who have taken a liking to not just this show,
but in particular to my wife, Roseanne. I want to
give you a ronov aplos. Without going too deep into it,

(02:16:11):
I just want to say that Roseanne was brought onto
the program one because many moons ago before I was
officially the host of this show, I had asked the
question why is it women do not listen to talk radio?
And I kind of knew why.

Speaker 22 (02:16:32):
I did.

Speaker 2 (02:16:32):
I always kind of understood why. And this is kind
of like a you know, with the exception of a
couple of women out there who do it, this is
a very male dominated space and I kind of feel
like women have been excluded from it. And that kind
of bugged me. It did because I talked politics with
women all the time, and there are a lot of

(02:16:53):
conservative women out there, and I didn't like the fact
that they were being a good So I just brought
Roseanne in because I love having conversations with her, and
I thought you would too, and it turns out you do.
And I knew it was a smart move because I
love communicating with her unless she's you know, telling me
what to do with, you know, things like that. Nothing

(02:17:14):
than that. I'd love on here. And I love sharing
my marriage in a weird way with you guys and
talking about the things that we talk about on a
daily basis. So I appreciate you guys accepting her into
your homes and on your radio. Okay, so that's sort
of my acknowledgment to you. Let's get another check of
traffic and weather and we'll wrap this puppy up. Mark
Christopher's in a VPS traffic center. What's up, everybody?

Speaker 8 (02:17:36):
You know who it is?

Speaker 2 (02:17:37):
Who is? You know who it's least on the radio,
Frederick Douglas of the twenty first century.

Speaker 1 (02:17:43):
It's wt i C News Talk.

Speaker 6 (02:17:46):
Ten eighty And thank you Matt for that.

Speaker 2 (02:17:49):
I know a lot of you guys love rose and
she's she's a pistol in a lot of ways. On
tomorrow's show, let me give you a heads up. So
I've got some do stories that I want to get
into a couple of them. They're not national stories, but
they're just stories that we're discussing. I don't know if
anyone has been hipping you to the investigation into the

(02:18:11):
pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC.

Speaker 6 (02:18:17):
On January sixth.

Speaker 2 (02:18:18):
There appears to be an investigation that is narrowing down
the suspect there. I watched that video years ago, and
I remember telling you to my wife, that looks like
a woman. It appears, according to reports, it may very
well be a woman who planted that those pipe bombs.

(02:18:39):
Who she is and where she is now is an
interesting tale. We'll get to the bottom of that. You
may have also heard that the FBI and the Department
of Justice have produced Congress with the new cash of
documents showing how Bill in the Hillary Clinton's foundation, the
Clinton Foundation collected donation from foreign and domestic interest seeking influence.

Speaker 6 (02:19:04):
You don't say, you don't say.

Speaker 2 (02:19:09):
Now, I don't know if you know about this, but
you know, people keep saying it's like, oh, this is retribution.

Speaker 6 (02:19:13):
No it isn't.

Speaker 2 (02:19:16):
No, no, no, Just so you know, this is not retribution.
This is cleaning. That's what this is. This is cleaning
up the dirt, the muck, the meyer, all of that
stuff inside Washington. When you think about that, and I,
you know, my earlier conversation with you was about Donald right,

(02:19:39):
you know Donald, didn't they? And the way in which
he talks about the Trump administration and how angry he
was when he believed somebody putting up a social media
post suggesting that the administration had removed two black men
from a World War Two memorial and when he learned
about it. But I want you to listen to this,
and this is exall you know need to know about leftists,

(02:20:02):
So you need to know about democrats, he says. When
I told him, you've been busted, admitted, he wrote, I
will admit it.

Speaker 6 (02:20:13):
I thought it was in America.

Speaker 2 (02:20:15):
However, the fact still remains that white Americans were part
of that memort. He goes on to go on to
why remove them. It wasn't us, It was a Biden administration.
Lackey's a guy appointed by Biden who removed the black men,

(02:20:38):
who actually scheduled the removal of the black men from
the memorial.

Speaker 6 (02:20:42):
So I simply asked him the question, when you thought
it was Donald Trump?

Speaker 2 (02:20:49):
You said to me. This is what you as a
black man's support. Your ancestors gave their lives for this country,
and this is what this administration does. You need to
have your head examined. So now I say to you Donald,
don't you need to have your head examined. This was
your boy, this was your boy and your boy's appointee

(02:21:13):
showing clear racism. You described it, You set the stage.
That's what it is. He did, right, and you still
support him. So who should have their head examined?

Speaker 4 (02:21:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:21:28):
Did he admit that? No, he says this. At this point,
the only thing I'm concerned about is will there be
a free and fair election? No, sir, that wasn't what
you were concerned about. You were concerned about two black
men that were removed from a World War II memorial.
Both men are dead now, and you were screaming and

(02:21:51):
hollering for their families who thought they had been slighted.
And it turns out that Joe Boyd slided him, and
you decided that you were going to play the shell
game with me A full cast three card MONTI don't
look over here.

Speaker 6 (02:22:02):
I've been embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (02:22:04):
No, you haven't been.

Speaker 6 (02:22:08):
It's not retribution. It's clean up on Aisle three.

Speaker 2 (02:22:13):
That's what it is. And this administration, in this Department
of Justice is going to get every one of your
folks for old and new. As my mom used to
say back in the day, We're gonna get you full,
old and new. If you use Washington to line your pockets,
your numbers up. If you use the Department of Justice

(02:22:36):
to go after your political enemies, your numbers up. If
you weren't after the American people for who they chose
during an election, what they support for using words like patriotism,
for fighting against taxation, or being overtaxed, or the government

(02:22:56):
overreaching on their personal lives, and you played a role
inside listening those people are attacking those people. Yeah, man,
your number is up. And I said this on WBE
and earlier today, just so you know, nobody cares. By
the way, if you or any of those people who

(02:23:17):
are like me who can't wait for that retribution, let
them call it retribution. Accept it, Embrace the retribution, applauded,
even join me, join me, yay, do not falter, They
make no lit. I want you to think about this

(02:23:38):
before we get.

Speaker 6 (02:23:39):
Out of here.

Speaker 2 (02:23:40):
On Veterans Day.

Speaker 6 (02:23:42):
I want you to think about this, that they blink
an eye.

Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
When they ended people's career because they wouldn't acknowledge that
a man was calling himself a woman.

Speaker 16 (02:23:56):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (02:23:57):
If you said the wrong thing on a television show,
if you said the wrong thing in public or on
social media, and they went after you and they destroyed
your life. Shane Gillis, it just popped them ahead. Shane Gillis,
the comedian who's very successful now, could have been on

(02:24:17):
Saturday Night Live, where his career probably would have ended anyway,
but he was stopped from becoming a cast member. They
wanted him badly because they knew he was funny. They
wanted him to be on Saturday Night Live, but he
so told some Asian jokes back in the day and
they canceled him, made him lose his job. He ended
up having a very successful career. He's one of the

(02:24:39):
most successful comedians today. And didn't and when it invited
back to host Saturday Night Live, of all things became
so big they had to invite him to host the show.
These people didn't, They felt no shame. They destroyed people's lives,
They attacked people, They did everything they couldn't destroyed them

(02:25:04):
did they care when you told them that this was
going to come back to the mohunt them? What did
they say?

Speaker 6 (02:25:11):
Yeah, like you'll ever get that chance.

Speaker 2 (02:25:12):
Well guess what, we got that chance, and now we're
gonna take full advantage of it. But you know what,
like Chris Murphy said about righteous people, we know who
the true righteous are. We're gonna do it the right way.
If they committed a crime, go to prison. If they

(02:25:33):
did something wrong on nefarious and it's found out, they
should pay for it. And if the news media wants
to call it a revenge tour, so what Yep, it's revenge.
And remember what the premise is. There would be no
revenge if we didn't have anything to avenge. Right, there

(02:25:58):
has to be an act in order for there to
be a reaction, and that's what revenge is, right, It's
an action against a slight that has already been committed.
So when somebody says, hey, are you going on a
revenge tour, I want you to grab your fist like
one of those five o'clock karate films we used to

(02:26:20):
watch on Saturday afternoon and says, you killed my father,
I will have my revenge.

Speaker 14 (02:26:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:26:30):
Absolutely, that's what we're gonna do and have no shame.
That's what we do.

Speaker 6 (02:26:38):
That's what patriots do.

Speaker 2 (02:26:40):
We did it at Pearl Harbor, we did it on
nine to eleven. You slap us, we kill you. That's
just the way it's always God. You take ours, we
take yours. That's what revenge is all about. We don't
think you were gonna do all of that stuff to us.

(02:27:01):
I mean, think about the unthinkable things that they did.
And now they want to sit up there and actually
make us feel bad about revenge. Some people call it
a revenge tour. Yeah, tell those people they're right, Tell
those people, yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 7 (02:27:19):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (02:27:19):
And we're a little late. I said, to be honest
with you, we need to be moving faster. So I
hope they get the Clinton's come on even some of
you want them to get the Clintons. Come on, seriously,
Hillary even, come on, tell the truth. You know you do,

(02:27:40):
I know you do. I've got a lot of old
and new with Hillary Clinton, a lot of it got
some old and new with Bill too. I've since forgiven
Bill for that one that was back in my twenty
years ago. But right here in Hartford, threaten my job. Yeah,

(02:28:00):
his office. I'll never forget that. It actually made me
feel important. I was like, well, the president, former president.
Really it's going after me. Really, you don't say I'm
a I'm over here in a hip hop station. I
was like, really, me, loved every minute of it. So, yeah,

(02:28:22):
revenge all for it.

Speaker 6 (02:28:23):
I'm down for that. I'm here for that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:26):
I've signed up first row tickets, even bought a brochure
t shirts and I'm positive we're getting popcorn and maybe
as slushy. But I'm going front row on the whole thing,
and I want it. Every day.

Speaker 6 (02:28:45):
I read about it every day.

Speaker 2 (02:28:46):
I see another indictment come down, every day I see
another subpoena. I am applauding it and you should too.
And when the rest of them say you're just waiting
for Donald Trump to get his revenge, and you say, yes,
do it.

Speaker 6 (02:29:00):
This is my favorite one.

Speaker 2 (02:29:01):
When they say you're just applauding Donald Trump's revenge tour,
throw back into what they always say back in the
gay community. Yes queen, yes they love that, Yes queen, yes,
we're getting our revenge on.

Speaker 6 (02:29:18):
I love every bit of it, Ned says, an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Speaker 2 (02:29:27):
Payback is a bee you damn right. Not revenge, step
Stephen V. Says, not revenge, but justice. But a little
bit of revenge, just a little bit of revenge. It
could be justice. We could have both.

Speaker 16 (02:29:45):
Isn't it justice?

Speaker 2 (02:29:46):
When jet Lee comes back after they kill his brother?
You know what, the when he comes back, come on,
it's a little bit of justice, that's what it says
in it wasn't jet Lee? They killed his brother. Now
he's coming back for justice. Yeah, that's all we're doing.
We're coming back for justice. Yes, don't forget some of

(02:30:14):
your callers who are giving you a hard time and
likely been paid made to do so by progressive hoping
to get you fired. Yeah, exactly, that's right.

Speaker 16 (02:30:26):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (02:30:28):
I want all of that paid back, all of it
as it should. That's the way it should go. I
love every bit of it. So we'll have more details
on this Hillary Clinton thing when we get a chance
to tomorrow. We'll be back in full swing. We'll have
everything from headlines. We didn't do that, you know whatever.

(02:30:51):
There's some things that we could have done, but we
didn't do it. Anyway. We'll get back to that tomorrow.
I'll miss You guys have a one wonderful veterans. Please
go visit some folks if you can, veterans who either
need our help or would love our company, you know,
please go do that. Absolutely. Donald says it's a never

(02:31:13):
ending cycle. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see, We'll see.

Speaker 6 (02:31:22):
You guys have a wonderful day. Yeah, I'm gonna wrap
it up.

Speaker 2 (02:31:26):
I think I was planning. I think I'm gonna be
in Hartford tonight, but I couldn't get the wife on
the phone. I'm gonna ask her if she wants to
go to a meeting with me in Hartford. I'm thinking
about going to one out there. I haven't been to
one in Hartford as of yet. It'd be nice to
go to one.

Speaker 6 (02:31:44):
It's in a nice church too.

Speaker 2 (02:31:46):
Church is really really pretty. I think she'll love that.

Speaker 6 (02:31:50):
You guys do very very well tonight. But is there
anything else? We've got games going on for Veterans Day tonight?

Speaker 11 (02:31:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:31:56):
We've got some basketball games I just heard about. I
think John Silva was talking about that got some what's
called local action, but I guess it is Boston Celtics.
We got that game going on. You get you bet
on anything reasonable tonight. Nothing, you're just chilling. You got nothing. No, No,

(02:32:19):
it's horrible to follow the n b A during the
regular season in the early stages, like I can honestly
say the first thirty games are of no consequence.

Speaker 3 (02:32:30):
Yeah they well they be making they try to do
the little end games tournament. Yes, I have to make
it interesting. And it does make it interesting because it
makes them play hard early.

Speaker 6 (02:32:41):
Right, So what and it's called it's not interleague playing.

Speaker 3 (02:32:44):
That season tournament in season tournament.

Speaker 6 (02:32:47):
And what do you win like a little trophy for that?

Speaker 2 (02:32:49):
What do you get a ribbon?

Speaker 18 (02:32:50):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:32:50):
I think everybody gets two hundred k?

Speaker 2 (02:32:52):
Oh, is that what it is?

Speaker 3 (02:32:53):
Yeah, the win, the winning team, all the players get
two hundred k.

Speaker 2 (02:32:57):
Well they had that kind of money in the throw round.

Speaker 3 (02:32:59):
Yeah, well these guys making two hundred million.

Speaker 2 (02:33:02):
So two hundred thought said, So you know what, now
the gambling stuff makes sense. Yeah, yeah, now that makes sense.
