Miss Do you ever go out shopping the weekend before Christmas?

You got jalapenos, but red number. No cookies on the shirt.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And we're so thankful for Lola and Zeppe's. They have
a great restaurant in Gehanna. My cousin Steve Fancelli, bought
it years ago from Lowland Jazeppe with the original name
of it and got all those recipes, so he kept
the name, kept it going. I think he's busier than
he ever thought he would be. But he thought, you
know what, We're going to open up a little in
Jeppe's Bakery right next door to the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh so that was an addition to the original restaurant
that he purchased.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And they have all kinds of big goods and they
brought us a trade on top of the cookies that
he made for the cookie eating contest.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Very sweet, you know, we do.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I was just on Instagram with one of our contestants
because we've had a little change up today.

myself to the er.
Speaker 4 (01:53):

so Josh couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So we had a last minute scrape. Yeah, you came
up with unscraping it.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
A thirteen year old Christian is coming in. He was like,
I got this.

But he also said, is today my death day?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
He said that at.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Least death day death by chocolate?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well no, he he eats, he can eat really fast
and shipmunk it and he's concerned he might choke.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
He's like, do you want me to really try to
win this or not? Said you need to do what
feels right. I mean, what do you say to your son, No,
it's not your death day?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh I would have been like, yes, buddy, you're winning.
I suck it up and win today my death day.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Like so, yeah, well, well we'll coach him through.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But since it is my last show with hear you'll
be on the air and Boots will be on the
air next week, but I will be in Nashville the
spur of the moment, last change of plane, and so
my family gets to go stay in Nashville for a
long weekend for free. So it worked out well. I
wanted to get you your little Christmas present. Okay, so
this is for you, I think a very appropriate Yeah,
(03:13):
I go ahead and open it. Okay, boo, hold on,
don't leave yet. Yeah we are on the air, but
this is like, this is because he's going to help
us provide the cookie eating contest winners of the Rooster's box. Right.
Oh yeah, so we got to hand them. I just
don't want to leave without.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, maybe got me a little sign a few weeks ago.
That's on my desk at home. So what is this one?
This is a sign.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I think this is appropriate for everything that we're all
facing right now.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Except what is let go of, what was? Have faith
and what will be?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is that perfect for right now?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
It is? It's very good for the time right now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It is. I saw that, and I'm like, oh that's
o Kayla.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But wait, where was the little thing was a little
it was.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
On to time you put out.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I just I felt I didn't know what the inside was.
So okay, oh this is this is beautiful. Color is
my color.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So when I look at it, I'll think of you
friends are God.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We put it on the back of the tree, taking care,
but you didn't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We didn't put a single ornament on the back of
the tree. We used to some of them.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's smart that we don't have to have as many ornaments,
but we have so many.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I just don't like the tree out in the middle
of everything.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I got a little house now, so I don't have
that luxury anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We we clutter our tree because I will not throw
ornaments out. If they're broken, I'm going to use them again.
We have so many memories though, either things the kids
made or something I can't throw it.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
We put it on a second tree, my little fake tree,
and that's what we do. But thank you. This this
will remind me.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I love that color.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Well there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's on your her eulogy. Hold it up to the crowd, saying, hey,
I gotta ask you a question. Many this is kind
of shifted you. Why was your mom in the clowns?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what? I know? One, that's a great eight question, Boots.
No one ever knows. She just loved clowns. And then
when my brother died, she always liked the sad clown faces.
It always made her feel like, that's how I feel it,
And so she collected clowns at the I think my
daughter came. He counted one time in her house, like
over four or five hundred clowns, like meaning if they
(05:20):
were a dozen of them in a picture. She counted
all but like four or five hundred clowns.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
In Chucky had a clown version and the little ball
that cut up people. Her sister had a clown in
her living room. No, the first thing I've read.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
From Jesus to Chucky.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
But this clown, this clown is creepy. And your sister's like,
I know, is my mom? So I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So she left it there.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, no, no, no, no, no, she took it that thing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We both got each other cross.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
We did both get each other across.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You know, my daughter's going to love this too.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So I well, like, you know, you wear your beautiful
one that you have right now, but like this feels
a little like Lake Cross to.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Me and like a little funky and light. So yes,
and then I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
This was the candy cane.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Have you heard this?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I heard of the legend of the candy cane. Yes,
I can't read it because my eyes are squinting. Do
you want to read it to everybody? USh, that's what happened.
You're ten years younger. I am.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm having trouble myself.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I have appointment tomorrow. The legend of the candy cane.
Look at the candy cane. What do you see? Stripes
that are red like the bloodshed for me, white for
my savior, who is sinless and pure.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
The is that jay is for Jesus, the Lord of all.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I turn it around, and the staff you will see
because you turn it like it's a jay here, and
it's a staff here.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Jesus my shepherd was born from me.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I love that. I've always loved the legend of the
candy can.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I was not familiar with that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You never wondered why they were red and white all
the time.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Now for the blood, I never heard of purity. I'd
never looked into it, so I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Except this isn't red and white.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
It's not I find that funny. It's purple.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But purple is a royal color. Purple is a royal color. Well,
thank you, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
This is gonna be great on. Yeah, this will make
me think of you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So we have so much to talk about.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We're doing an interview with Ann Hurst of Open Arms Counseling,
and I asked Anne, I said, you know what, let's
do a year in review because I'm so curious. It's
been such a gosh even look at this past weekend
and week. I mean there's just been so much violence
in our nation and even in Australia, I mean all
over there's just been very hard. What were the main
(07:36):
reasons that people went to seek professional help for counseling
for mental health? And I wanted to ask her what
was the busiest You know.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
A lot of people were talking about mental health this
last week, Yeah, schizophrenia and Rob Reiner's kid and all
of that.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
So yeah, I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's a very very heavy week, but it seems like
it's just been a heavy year for so many reasons.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So we're going to talk with Open Arms about that
coming up today. There are in our four o'clock hour
and then five o'clock hour, so much fun, so much fun.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
The one state that Boots wants to eventually retire, Georgia
and we move to Georgia.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Georgia is the best other than Texas. I think it's
the best state in the Unia.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
What part of Georgia do you like?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The best? West?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Down by Fort Benning, just an hour west of Columbus, Georgia.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Okay, they're southeast, they're in St. Simon's. Everybody's nice down there,
they are, They're very nice.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
There is something about the Southern charm, you know. I
think the Southern states nice and they are. I think
the Southern States do a great job.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, walk through them all. Hey, how are you today? Great?
How are you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The only thing I wouldn't be sure about is like
celebrating Christmas in warmer states.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It must be real interesting you're in see I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Know if I'm in stand Ohio weather.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Even during the holidays.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I went with my friend Dixie to visit her parents
when we were in high school and left, I think
Christmas night, and I did not feel like Christmas. I
felt like Christmas was over and done with so fast
because it was and it was so weird to see
people decorating with like no snow on the ground, but
it was really warm.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh the dustin in a Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Eighty degrees and I'm here freezing and walking hair.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
On your head.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Walk The other night Christmas Shop and bought a pair
of ug boots. They make them for dudes, so I
didn't feel all flippy.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
But I went in there. I said, you got dude boots?
Speaker 5 (09:50):

but I have never had uggs myself. I do to knockoff.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Oh those are yeah, those are boots.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Boots. I've never seen boots and boots.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, those are really nice boots. Actually, like I didn't
want to look all. You know, it's actually maybe Marcus
needs a pair up and they look like this.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I think you're fifty or sixty percent off there.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You know what, They probably lasted forever too.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
They probably slippers that I got years ago and I
wear them all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Last minute gift idea. If you guys need it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Take it from Boots.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
The most Appalachian hetero sexual dude you ever meet.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Of the miracle official.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Boots I've had for I'm going to say twenty years.
And they got them from the story Salt and I
did a story in Nelsonville.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh it's Rocky Mountain Boot Company. My girlfriend Rachel that
you know, just went down for the train and bought boots.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
There.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
These things last auto smart boots and they make sense.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, why wouldn't try again?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So I say we toss out because Mikayla said she
has a really good hot topic topic and I really
do too. Mine exploded all over social media and across
the country. Even network stations did stories on this.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But what's yours and mine was the same way, but
not I have no clue what Mindy's is. So we
both have hot, hot topics. So mine has to do
with mothers and the holiday. And so I have some
a piece of sound that I'll play when we come
back in to tee it up.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
But if we're teeing it up now, what I will tell.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You is is a situation where are moms taking on
too much to make the holidays special for their families.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Some people say they are and that the stress is real.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I know some moms who feel that way, and so
the question is, have you ever felt that way? As
a lady who is listening right now, have you ever
felt like all of the Christmas magic is on you?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Or do you have a husband or a partner that
has helped out. So that's my hot topic.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, mine made national headlines because of what happened inside
a Target out in California. This thirty some woman thought
she was really smart and sly and is recording this
seventy two year old employee at Target who's worked there
for twenty years, and she was wearing their objective at
(12:21):
Target is you just have to wear something red. I
don't know if it's during the Christmas season. Where so
this seventy two year old woman wore red shirt but
it was a Charlie Kirk freedom shirt, and this girl
in her thirties hated it and record her and the
woman just turned her and said, why are you taking
my picture? She didn't know she was recording a video,
and she's like, why are you wearing that shirt? Just
cusses her out and says you're a racist. And the
(12:45):
way this seventy two year old woman handled it with
such class and such poise and just said, ma'am, I'm
not a racist, you know. And so this check who
did this put it all over social media backfired because
all she recorded this, recorded this yes, because she thought
she thought she sly and she would get a bunch
(13:06):
of people saying, yeah, she was a racist. How could
she wear Charlie Kirk? Will get backfired? It backfired and
the even that girl who did that, even her mom
released a statement about into the seventy two year old employee.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars has now been raised
that woman at Target is going to be able to retire.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, which we've heard some of those stories to see TERRORIY.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Seriously, I'll tell you what's good about it. Be positive.
It's right next to the United States.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Six one four eight two one nine eight eight six
six one four eight two one w TV And if
you want to weigh in on either of those, we'll
send them back up again. But hope to hear from you.
This is what matters on six ten WTVN.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
All right, we're back. We are talking hot topics and Mikayla.
I don't know if you saw that video yet or not.
That exploded through the week, but you just saw a
glimpse of it a little bit. We're talking about the
Target woman seventy two years old. Her name is Jeanie
sitting room and this thirty some woman comes up to her,
(14:11):
starts recording her without her even knowing, and asks her
and berates her and cusses at her for wearing a
Charlie Kirk shirt. This employee at Target handled it so well,
such decorum, such class, and out of all of this
because she want this thirty some year old chick wanted
to put this video out there, like look what I did.
(14:31):
I just burned this woman because she's a racist, because
she's wearing a Charlie kirkshirt. One hundred percent backfired. One
hundred percent backfired. All this support came out for this
Target employee and they started to go fundme account raised
more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for this
Target employee, which now she'll probably retire. But they asked her,
(14:52):
do you want this woman who did this to you
to be fired? She said no, no, she wrongs. Don't
make it right. I don't want any harm to her,
just the way she handled it. And then they got
ahold of her, and they had Charlie Kirk. It was
his first America Fest ANDT Fest without him obviously, so
they brought this Target woman on stage to meet Erica Kirk.
(15:14):
You know, you think it's going to be something going
out one way, and it totally turned into something beautiful.
And I do want to read you one thing because
this girl who did this, who made this video of
this Target employee, her mom and I do love this.
Her mom reached out and made a statement to Jeanie,
the Target worker, and she said, Genie, I am deeply
(15:35):
sorry that you were treated in such a horrific way.
Remember this is her daughter who did this. No one
should ever be treated in such a way. The way
you conducted yourself should be an inspiration to many. Unfortunately,
my daughter did not conduct herself in any type of
an appropriate way. I am mortified by her behavior. Myself
my family do not agree with or approve of Mikayla.
(15:58):
It happens to be her name of mc Kayla's expressed
beliefs or behavior. As a mom, it breaks my heart
to see my child treat another person with such disdain.
I do not condone Michayla's actions. Kudos to that mom
for stepping up when your own mom turns on you,
you knew you did something wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Six one four eight two one nine eighty eight sixty
six one four eight two one WTV. And if you
want to call and talk about this, I take it
you want moderate Mikayla's perspective on this.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I would just want whatever you think about it.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yes, from moderate Michayla, whatever you want. So it's unacceptable
to treat people that way. There are a spectrum of
beliefs across this country, and some of them are very extremist.
Some people believe Charlie Kirk was extreme, but if you
listen to everything he did and how he said things,
there were moments where he was just trying to have
conversation with kids on college campuses about what he thought
(16:53):
was right versus what they thought was right. And social
media can take everything out of context. Right, it depends
on who you're listening to and what sound they pull,
which we know how this works because of radio and
because of TV. So I just think it's wrong to
make assumptions about people when you don't know the whole
story and what they believe in why they believe it.
So that is the moderate Mikayla Hunt perspective on this.
(17:16):
It's wrong that she did this and unacceptable to record it.
I'm embarrassed for that she recorded it and put it
out into the universe. I think it is just a
nasty thing to do. That's the moderate Mikayla perspective.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So you bring up what Charlie Kirk preached and believe
in opening the microphone up to open up conversations, but honestly,
even all that doesn't matter in this case, because what
matters is how that chick treated that seventy two year
old woman. For simply wearing a T shirt which was
allowed by Target. She said she had worn that shirt
(17:48):
like six other times before. No one else had a
problem with it. And if you go back and listen
to how she treated, Like I said, even the mom
was saying that, I'm embarrassed that that's my daughter. You
don't do that. I'm so glad that it backfired on her. Yeah,
and now she looks terrible, terrible in front of her
work place, just terrible.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
And I think too.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know something, we have groups making excuses of why
you treat the other group bad right now because they
see something they didn't like.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So this other group they're like, well.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
This is going to be fine. That's not an excuse
for anyone. And you said it earlier we were off
air at the time. There's no excuse for doing this.
There's no excuse. But there's a lot of heated moments
right now, and so people like feel like they have
the ability to do this, and it's just not the
right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
And honestly, it's not what Jesus would do, folks.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And you put yourself out there now that woman everybody
knows who she is because her name's out there. I
think it's michaeleb Ponds or something like that. They know
where she works, they know who she is and what
she did. She just thought it was going to go
an entirely different direction, that people would rally behind her. Yeah,
you go get her, You go, girl, get in that
woman's face. That's seventy two year old woman who's worked
(18:56):
at Target for twenty years. Go get in her face.
And you know what, It's not the way it went.
So I am so glad that this woman got at
least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in donations. That's
that's the way this country should be rally for what
is right and for people who handle themselves professionally.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I would fanticize about being there why that was going down.
I would have went up to the girl and said, you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Want to debate? Someone debate me. Leave that lady alone,
and then I would just tear into her.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's not what this lady did. The lady was so
calm and kind.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
But I heard I said, stop, young lady, what is
your problem? If you were like I was behind them
in line, I would have lost my I've done that before.
I don't care what angle I don't care. If it's
you're a lefty and you're a right wingers picking on you, I.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Would stick up for you.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
There's no reason, for no reason, you can have a
political debate and walk away friends afterwards. But the problem
is most people can't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
That's sad. It's sad. It saddens me that you and
I can't agree to disagree.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Why because we're in such a heated environment right now.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I mean, look at Columbus this week.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You've probably seen all that too, people following ice agents
and all the things that are happening.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
You've talked about that.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Legal immigrants, there's a word e legal. Your parents, my
great grandpa came from Sicily, came through Ellis Island. Longenet
was Longeneta, it was Italian. Now it's Longenet because a
French guy.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I wish, I wish there was an easier way to
become an American.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
There should be, there should be a problem. The problem
is you have saying roofing company right now. They have
no employees because unfortunately Americans are lazier than they've ever been,
especially the younger generations, and they won't do the hard
jobs at the illegal Hispanic style. People I hate say that,
but let's face it, they're the hardest working people on
the planet. And I don't care who hates me on that.
If you ever worked alongside a guy of Hispanic culture,
(20:50):
I'll say the hardest working guys and hardest.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
But I think it's been a little inflammatory the way
that it's gone on. And I'll say that because I
don't think i've even shared this with you. I SWI
was in my sister's neighborhood in Chicago, and the video
is terrible. For one person, a painter who was painting
a house so similar to kind of a roofing situation.
And Christina is the first one to tell you that
(21:14):
Chicago has an illegal immigration problem.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
She's the first person to say it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
And she voted that way, and she hated what she
saw on the street.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
The video is terrible. It's scary, it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I get that, I really do get that. But you
know what, if you are here illegally, you have the
option to go back as well.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
They will.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I just wish its problem.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I just wish it could be done differently.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You know what about the ones that, like they said,
they're going after the worst first, what about the ones
who have been.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
To I don't think they're going after the worst first.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
They're going after everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
They're hoping they get the worst as they do it.
They have no way to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
But why the rap sheets that they have found, because
they have documentation of the crimes that they've committed. You
don't want to back those people. Why would you fight
this guy?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Who is This guy who was a painter at my
sister neighbor's house does not have a wrap sheet the
size of whatever. But I did hear the guy there
are so there are, but that's not the guy they
always be on TV.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
He did say, we're we're going to arrest everybody that's illegal,
and it just so happens. Some won't be bad criminals,
but they're still illegal.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And that is said.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
But what I will say this, the ones that are here,
we should say, hey, we'll meet you at the Old
Eastland Mall. It's empty. We're not going to deport you.
We're going to get you in classes. We're going to
try to get you made. Lady.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
That's that's a solution, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Someone teach them how to drive, because that's ridiculous. Round
one sixty one. But we teach all these illegals how
to drive, how to live the American dream, how to
be American. Just because you're from another country, don't mean
you leave your trash out.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
On the street for what this is.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So I think we would have a less heated situation
with this woman at Target getting yelled at for wearing
a shirt if we look towards solutions like that, just
my opinions.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
No, I agree with that, I will say because merriganther
and the police chief put out that video basically telling
immigrants what steps they should be taking, make sure you
have your documentation so you can prove it to them,
and that they went on record saying we are not
going to help ICE agents at all. And then Brian Steele,
the FOP president, put out his own statement and said,
(23:19):
when you take that oath of office as a police officer,
a sheriff's deputy, a highway patrol personality or personnel, you
sign an oath of office to serve and protect your community,
your state, your country. If called upon, we will help ICE.
So there's just two different sides of this issue. And
(23:40):
Brian Steele said he got a lot of slack for
that but he also got a lot of people saying
thank you for stepping up. And some people are glad
Ice is here. Other people are not, And they went
to the embassy suites or Ice was staying and stayed
out and made noise and disrupted the peace and could
have been arrested there because they were disturbing.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
My uncle was looking at as a million dollar home
in Florida, and I happened to be there and there
was a bunch of illegal immigrants working on his landscape.
He goes in apathetic, look at all them illegals. I'm like,
you're lucky you're here. You're landscaping will get done because
you don't get Americans to work that hard. In his heat,
he went, oh, shut up, and he walked away.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well that yeah, I mean it's heated now because of
some of this. I think we all agree that it
could be probably done better, but it would take some time.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
So and we're well.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
The rest of the world focused on the holidays, and
so Ann Hirst is coming in to talk with us
a little bit about that next, to see.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Why so many people went to seek professional help to
help their mental health.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, be nice, be nice, door help someone change the flight.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
People an't even nice on the roadways, like road rage
is real? Wave?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
You having me?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
What the heck? Can you just let me over? I
would let you over.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
This is what matters on this extent. WTV in
Miss Do you ever go out shopping the weekend before Christmas?
We did yesterday was a crowded, packed, crazy We were.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
At Easton and it was pretty packed. The parking lots
were really packed.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Well, you are done up in Christmas cheer for sure
there or even had it written right across that house.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Do you like my hat?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We're on Facebook live on Mindy's page right now and
I got this down in Saint Simon's at Saint Simon's drug.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
They have a drug store that has a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Of everything in it. And I love a drug store.
Don't know about the rest of you. Guys like to
go in and chop around and it kind of matches this.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Old truth that I have, which is so fun. It
has a lot of bling.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You got a lot of bling and bling. Is the
day for it because yeah, mine's kind of blinked up
to you. I've got some that's just fun.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, it's the day for it because it is our
cookie eating contest. That's the only thing missing from your shirt.
You got jalapenos, but red number. No cookies on the shirt.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And we're so thankful for Lola and Zeppe's. They have
a great restaurant in Gehanna. My cousin Steve Fancelli, bought
it years ago from Lowland Jazeppe with the original name
of it and got all those recipes, so he kept
the name, kept it going. I think he's busier than
he ever thought he would be. But he thought, you
know what, We're going to open up a little in
Jeppe's Bakery right next door to the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh so that was an addition to the original restaurant
that he purchased.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And they have all kinds of big goods and they
brought us a trade on top of the cookies that
he made for the cookie eating contest.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Very sweet, you know, we do.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I was just on Instagram with one of our contestants
because we've had a little change up today.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
There was a change up last year too. You remember
we're like Boots, you're gonna have to be one of
the competitors.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
We did.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I cannot something happened. I can't remember that are going.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
To come in at the end. Well, now, a reigning
champion who's won what two years in a row, two
or three years in a row with Josh. Yeah, he
texted me early this morning he said, I'm going to
have to bail on the cookie eating contest. I'm taking
myself to the er.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I'm like, what, And doesn't he work with you? He
used to? He used to. He's not there anymore though. Okay, yeah,
so Josh couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So we had a last minute scrape. Yeah, you came
up with unscraping it.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
A thirteen year old Christian is coming in. He was like,
I got this.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But he also said, is today my death day?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
He said that at.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Least death day death by chocolate?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well no, he he eats, he can eat really fast
and shipmunk it and he's concerned he might choke.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
He's like, do you want me to really try to
win this or not? Said you need to do what
feels right. I mean, what do you say to your son, No,
it's not your death day?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh I would have been like, yes, buddy, you're winning.
I suck it up and win today my death day.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Like so, yeah, well, well we'll coach him through.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But since it is my last show with hear you'll
be on the air and Boots will be on the
air next week, but I will be in Nashville the
spur of the moment, last change of plane, and so
my family gets to go stay in Nashville for a
long weekend for free. So it worked out well. I
wanted to get you your little Christmas present. Okay, so
this is for you, I think a very appropriate Yeah,
(03:13):
I go ahead and open it. Okay, boo, hold on,
don't leave yet. Yeah we are on the air, but
this is like, this is because he's going to help
us provide the cookie eating contest winners of the Rooster's box. Right.
Oh yeah, so we got to hand them. I just
don't want to leave without.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, maybe got me a little sign a few weeks ago.
That's on my desk at home. So what is this one?
This is a sign.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I think this is appropriate for everything that we're all
facing right now.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Except what is let go of, what was? Have faith
and what will be?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is that perfect for right now?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
It is? It's very good for the time right now.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It is. I saw that, and I'm like, oh that's
o Kayla.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But wait, where was the little thing was a little
it was.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
On to time you put out.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I just I felt I didn't know what the inside was.
So okay, oh this is this is beautiful. Color is
my color.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So when I look at it, I'll think of you
friends are God.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We put it on the back of the tree, taking care,
but you didn't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We didn't put a single ornament on the back of
the tree. We used to some of them.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That's smart that we don't have to have as many ornaments,
but we have so many.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I just don't like the tree out in the middle
of everything.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I got a little house now, so I don't have
that luxury anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We we clutter our tree because I will not throw
ornaments out. If they're broken, I'm going to use them again.
We have so many memories though, either things the kids
made or something I can't throw it.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
We put it on a second tree, my little fake tree,
and that's what we do. But thank you. This this
will remind me.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I love that color.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Well there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's on your her eulogy. Hold it up to the crowd, saying, hey,
I gotta ask you a question. Many this is kind
of shifted you. Why was your mom in the clowns?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what? I know? One, that's a great eight question, Boots.
No one ever knows. She just loved clowns. And then
when my brother died, she always liked the sad clown faces.
It always made her feel like, that's how I feel it,
And so she collected clowns at the I think my
daughter came. He counted one time in her house, like
over four or five hundred clowns, like meaning if they
(05:20):
were a dozen of them in a picture. She counted
all but like four or five hundred clowns.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
In Chucky had a clown version and the little ball
that cut up people. Her sister had a clown in
her living room. No, the first thing I've read.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
From Jesus to Chucky.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
But this clown, this clown is creepy. And your sister's like,
I know, is my mom? So I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So she left it there.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, no, no, no, no, no, she took it that thing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We both got each other cross.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
We did both get each other across.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You know, my daughter's going to love this too.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So I well, like, you know, you wear your beautiful
one that you have right now, but like this feels
a little like Lake Cross to.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Me and like a little funky and light. So yes,
and then I thought.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
This was the candy cane.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Have you heard this?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I heard of the legend of the candy cane. Yes,
I can't read it because my eyes are squinting. Do
you want to read it to everybody? USh, that's what happened.
You're ten years younger. I am.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm having trouble myself.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I have appointment tomorrow. The legend of the candy cane.
Look at the candy cane. What do you see? Stripes
that are red like the bloodshed for me, white for
my savior, who is sinless and pure.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
The is that jay is for Jesus, the Lord of all.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I turn it around, and the staff you will see
because you turn it like it's a jay here, and
it's a staff here.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Jesus my shepherd was born from me.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I love that. I've always loved the legend of the
candy can.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I was not familiar with that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You never wondered why they were red and white all
the time.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Now for the blood, I never heard of purity. I'd
never looked into it, so I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Except this isn't red and white.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
It's not I find that funny. It's purple.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But purple is a royal color. Purple is a royal color. Well,
thank you, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
This is gonna be great on. Yeah, this will make
me think of you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So we have so much to talk about.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We're doing an interview with Ann Hurst of Open Arms Counseling,
and I asked Anne, I said, you know what, let's
do a year in review because I'm so curious. It's
been such a gosh even look at this past weekend
and week. I mean there's just been so much violence
in our nation and even in Australia, I mean all
over there's just been very hard. What were the main
(07:36):
reasons that people went to seek professional help for counseling
for mental health? And I wanted to ask her what
was the busiest You know.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
A lot of people were talking about mental health this
last week, Yeah, schizophrenia and Rob Reiner's kid and all
of that.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
So yeah, I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's a very very heavy week, but it seems like
it's just been a heavy year for so many reasons.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So we're going to talk with Open Arms about that
coming up today. There are in our four o'clock hour
and then five o'clock hour, so much fun, so much fun.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You got your cheer hat to have cheer cookies, and
we're going to have our cookies.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Hat like that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The drug store, And did you hear me say that
he was a nice I bought it down in Georgia.
My parents plays at a drug store. Yeah, they have
a pretty cute drug store.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That's your parents.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah, my parents play drugs. No they don't. They live
in a place Saint Simon's drug That is.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The one state that Boots wants to eventually retire, Georgia
and we move to Georgia.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Georgia is the best other than Texas. I think it's
the best state in the Unia.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
What part of Georgia do you like?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The best? West?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Down by Fort Benning, just an hour west of Columbus, Georgia.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Okay, they're southeast, they're in St. Simon's. Everybody's nice down there,
they are, They're very nice.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
There is something about the Southern charm, you know. I
think the Southern states nice and they are. I think
the Southern States do a great job.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, walk through them all. Hey, how are you today? Great?
How are you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The only thing I wouldn't be sure about is like
celebrating Christmas in warmer states.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It must be real interesting you're in see I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Know if I'm in stand Ohio weather.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Even during the holidays.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I went with my friend Dixie to visit her parents
when we were in high school and left, I think
Christmas night, and I did not feel like Christmas. I
felt like Christmas was over and done with so fast
because it was and it was so weird to see
people decorating with like no snow on the ground, but
it was really warm.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
He was scuba garding yesterday.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
He lives up by the Panhandle West floored up or
on the top left.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I call, but he was on the White Beaches scuba diving.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh the dustin in a Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Eighty degrees and I'm here freezing and walking hair.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
On your head.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Walk The other night Christmas Shop and bought a pair
of ug boots. They make them for dudes, so I
didn't feel all flippy.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
But I went in there. I said, you got dude boots?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Are like yeah, the guy was he was a trains dude.
I'm like, okay, whatever, But then he took me over
and got me boots, and.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He got boots boots. Got it looks. I didn't even
know they made uggs for guys. I really didn't. I didn't,
but I have never had uggs myself. I do to knockoff.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Oh those are yeah, those are boots.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Boots. I've never seen boots and boots.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, those are really nice boots. Actually, like I didn't
want to look all. You know, it's actually maybe Marcus
needs a pair up and they look like this.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I think you're fifty or sixty percent off there.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You know what, They probably lasted forever too.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
They probably slippers that I got years ago and I
wear them all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Last minute gift idea. If you guys need it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Take it from Boots.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
The most Appalachian hetero sexual dude you ever meet.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Of the miracle official.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Boots I've had for I'm going to say twenty years.
And they got them from the story Salt and I
did a story in Nelsonville.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh it's Rocky Mountain Boot Company. My girlfriend Rachel that
you know, just went down for the train and bought boots.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
There.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
These things last auto smart boots and they make sense.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, why wouldn't try again?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So I say we toss out because Mikayla said she
has a really good hot topic topic and I really
do too. Mine exploded all over social media and across
the country. Even network stations did stories on this.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
But what's yours and mine was the same way, but
not I have no clue what Mindy's is. So we
both have hot, hot topics. So mine has to do
with mothers and the holiday. And so I have some
a piece of sound that I'll play when we come
back in to tee it up.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
But if we're teeing it up now, what I will tell.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You is is a situation where are moms taking on
too much to make the holidays special for their families.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Some people say they are and that the stress is real.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I know some moms who feel that way, and so
the question is, have you ever felt that way? As
a lady who is listening right now, have you ever
felt like all of the Christmas magic is on you?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Or do you have a husband or a partner that
has helped out. So that's my hot topic.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, mine made national headlines because of what happened inside
a Target out in California. This thirty some woman thought
she was really smart and sly and is recording this
seventy two year old employee at Target who's worked there
for twenty years, and she was wearing their objective at
(12:21):
Target is you just have to wear something red. I
don't know if it's during the Christmas season. Where so
this seventy two year old woman wore red shirt but
it was a Charlie Kirk freedom shirt, and this girl
in her thirties hated it and record her and the
woman just turned her and said, why are you taking
my picture? She didn't know she was recording a video,
and she's like, why are you wearing that shirt? Just
cusses her out and says you're a racist. And the
(12:45):
way this seventy two year old woman handled it with
such class and such poise and just said, ma'am, I'm
not a racist, you know. And so this check who
did this put it all over social media backfired because
all she recorded this, recorded this yes, because she thought
she thought she sly and she would get a bunch
(13:06):
of people saying, yeah, she was a racist. How could
she wear Charlie Kirk? Will get backfired? It backfired and
the even that girl who did that, even her mom
released a statement about into the seventy two year old employee.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars has now been raised
that woman at Target is going to be able to retire.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, which we've heard some of those stories to see TERRORIY.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Seriously, I'll tell you what's good about it. Be positive.
It's right next to the United States.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Six one four eight two one nine eight eight six
six one four eight two one w TV And if
you want to weigh in on either of those, we'll
send them back up again. But hope to hear from you.
This is what matters on six ten WTVN.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
All right, we're back. We are talking hot topics and Mikayla.
I don't know if you saw that video yet or not.
That exploded through the week, but you just saw a
glimpse of it a little bit. We're talking about the
Target woman seventy two years old. Her name is Jeanie
sitting room and this thirty some woman comes up to her,
(14:11):
starts recording her without her even knowing, and asks her
and berates her and cusses at her for wearing a
Charlie Kirk shirt. This employee at Target handled it so well,
such decorum, such class, and out of all of this
because she want this thirty some year old chick wanted
to put this video out there, like look what I did.
(14:31):
I just burned this woman because she's a racist, because
she's wearing a Charlie kirkshirt. One hundred percent backfired. One
hundred percent backfired. All this support came out for this
Target employee and they started to go fundme account raised
more than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for this
Target employee, which now she'll probably retire. But they asked her,
(14:52):
do you want this woman who did this to you
to be fired? She said no, no, she wrongs. Don't
make it right. I don't want any harm to her,
just the way she handled it. And then they got
ahold of her, and they had Charlie Kirk. It was
his first America Fest ANDT Fest without him obviously, so
they brought this Target woman on stage to meet Erica Kirk.
(15:14):
You know, you think it's going to be something going
out one way, and it totally turned into something beautiful.
And I do want to read you one thing because
this girl who did this, who made this video of
this Target employee, her mom and I do love this.
Her mom reached out and made a statement to Jeanie,
the Target worker, and she said, Genie, I am deeply
(15:35):
sorry that you were treated in such a horrific way.
Remember this is her daughter who did this. No one
should ever be treated in such a way. The way
you conducted yourself should be an inspiration to many. Unfortunately,
my daughter did not conduct herself in any type of
an appropriate way. I am mortified by her behavior. Myself
my family do not agree with or approve of Mikayla.
(15:58):
It happens to be her name of mc Kayla's expressed
beliefs or behavior. As a mom, it breaks my heart
to see my child treat another person with such disdain.
I do not condone Michayla's actions. Kudos to that mom
for stepping up when your own mom turns on you,
you knew you did something wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Six one four eight two one nine eighty eight sixty
six one four eight two one WTV. And if you
want to call and talk about this, I take it
you want moderate Mikayla's perspective on this.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I would just want whatever you think about it.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yes, from moderate Michayla, whatever you want. So it's unacceptable
to treat people that way. There are a spectrum of
beliefs across this country, and some of them are very extremist.
Some people believe Charlie Kirk was extreme, but if you
listen to everything he did and how he said things,
there were moments where he was just trying to have
conversation with kids on college campuses about what he thought
(16:53):
was right versus what they thought was right. And social
media can take everything out of context. Right, it depends
on who you're listening to and what sound they pull,
which we know how this works because of radio and
because of TV. So I just think it's wrong to
make assumptions about people when you don't know the whole
story and what they believe in why they believe it.
So that is the moderate Mikayla Hunt perspective on this.
(17:16):
It's wrong that she did this and unacceptable to record it.
I'm embarrassed for that she recorded it and put it
out into the universe. I think it is just a
nasty thing to do. That's the moderate Mikayla perspective.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So you bring up what Charlie Kirk preached and believe
in opening the microphone up to open up conversations, but honestly,
even all that doesn't matter in this case, because what
matters is how that chick treated that seventy two year
old woman. For simply wearing a T shirt which was
allowed by Target. She said she had worn that shirt
(17:48):
like six other times before. No one else had a
problem with it. And if you go back and listen
to how she treated, Like I said, even the mom
was saying that, I'm embarrassed that that's my daughter. You
don't do that. I'm so glad that it backfired on her. Yeah,
and now she looks terrible, terrible in front of her
work place, just terrible.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
And I think too.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You know something, we have groups making excuses of why
you treat the other group bad right now because they
see something they didn't like.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So this other group they're like, well.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
This is going to be fine. That's not an excuse
for anyone. And you said it earlier we were off
air at the time. There's no excuse for doing this.
There's no excuse. But there's a lot of heated moments
right now, and so people like feel like they have
the ability to do this, and it's just not the
right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
And honestly, it's not what Jesus would do, folks.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And you put yourself out there now that woman everybody
knows who she is because her name's out there. I
think it's michaeleb Ponds or something like that. They know
where she works, they know who she is and what
she did. She just thought it was going to go
an entirely different direction, that people would rally behind her. Yeah,
you go get her, You go, girl, get in that
woman's face. That's seventy two year old woman who's worked
(18:56):
at Target for twenty years. Go get in her face.
And you know what, It's not the way it went.
So I am so glad that this woman got at
least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in donations. That's
that's the way this country should be rally for what
is right and for people who handle themselves professionally.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I would fanticize about being there why that was going down.
I would have went up to the girl and said, you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Want to debate? Someone debate me. Leave that lady alone,
and then I would just tear into her.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's not what this lady did. The lady was so
calm and kind.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
But I heard I said, stop, young lady, what is
your problem? If you were like I was behind them
in line, I would have lost my I've done that before.
I don't care what angle I don't care. If it's
you're a lefty and you're a right wingers picking on you, I.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Would stick up for you.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
There's no reason, for no reason, you can have a
political debate and walk away friends afterwards. But the problem
is most people can't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
That's sad. It's sad. It saddens me that you and
I can't agree to disagree.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Why because we're in such a heated environment right now.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I mean, look at Columbus this week.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You've probably seen all that too, people following ice agents
and all the things that are happening.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
You've talked about that.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Legal immigrants, there's a word e legal. Your parents, my
great grandpa came from Sicily, came through Ellis Island. Longenet
was Longeneta, it was Italian. Now it's Longenet because a
French guy.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I wish, I wish there was an easier way to
become an American.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
There should be, there should be a problem. The problem
is you have saying roofing company right now. They have
no employees because unfortunately Americans are lazier than they've ever been,
especially the younger generations, and they won't do the hard
jobs at the illegal Hispanic style. People I hate say that,
but let's face it, they're the hardest working people on
the planet. And I don't care who hates me on that.
If you ever worked alongside a guy of Hispanic culture,
(20:50):
I'll say the hardest working guys and hardest.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
But I think it's been a little inflammatory the way
that it's gone on. And I'll say that because I
don't think i've even shared this with you. I SWI
was in my sister's neighborhood in Chicago, and the video
is terrible. For one person, a painter who was painting
a house so similar to kind of a roofing situation.
And Christina is the first one to tell you that
(21:14):
Chicago has an illegal immigration problem.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
She's the first person to say it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
And she voted that way, and she hated what she
saw on the street.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
The video is terrible. It's scary, it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I get that, I really do get that. But you
know what, if you are here illegally, you have the
option to go back as well.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
They will.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I just wish its problem.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I just wish it could be done differently.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You know what about the ones that, like they said,
they're going after the worst first, what about the ones
who have been.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
To I don't think they're going after the worst first.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
They're going after everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
They're hoping they get the worst as they do it.
They have no way to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
But why the rap sheets that they have found, because
they have documentation of the crimes that they've committed. You
don't want to back those people. Why would you fight
this guy?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Who is This guy who was a painter at my
sister neighbor's house does not have a wrap sheet the
size of whatever. But I did hear the guy there
are so there are, but that's not the guy they
always be on TV.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
He did say, we're we're going to arrest everybody that's illegal,
and it just so happens. Some won't be bad criminals,
but they're still illegal.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And that is said.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
But what I will say this, the ones that are here,
we should say, hey, we'll meet you at the Old
Eastland Mall. It's empty. We're not going to deport you.
We're going to get you in classes. We're going to
try to get you made. Lady.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
That's that's a solution, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Someone teach them how to drive, because that's ridiculous. Round
one sixty one. But we teach all these illegals how
to drive, how to live the American dream, how to
be American. Just because you're from another country, don't mean
you leave your trash out.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
On the street for what this is.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So I think we would have a less heated situation
with this woman at Target getting yelled at for wearing
a shirt if we look towards solutions like that, just
my opinions.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
No, I agree with that, I will say because merriganther
and the police chief put out that video basically telling
immigrants what steps they should be taking, make sure you
have your documentation so you can prove it to them,
and that they went on record saying we are not
going to help ICE agents at all. And then Brian Steele,
the FOP president, put out his own statement and said,
(23:19):
when you take that oath of office as a police officer,
a sheriff's deputy, a highway patrol personality or personnel, you
sign an oath of office to serve and protect your community,
your state, your country. If called upon, we will help ICE.
So there's just two different sides of this issue. And
(23:40):
Brian Steele said he got a lot of slack for
that but he also got a lot of people saying
thank you for stepping up. And some people are glad
Ice is here. Other people are not, And they went
to the embassy suites or Ice was staying and stayed
out and made noise and disrupted the peace and could
have been arrested there because they were disturbing.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
My uncle was looking at as a million dollar home
in Florida, and I happened to be there and there
was a bunch of illegal immigrants working on his landscape.
He goes in apathetic, look at all them illegals. I'm like,
you're lucky you're here. You're landscaping will get done because
you don't get Americans to work that hard. In his heat,
he went, oh, shut up, and he walked away.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Well that yeah, I mean it's heated now because of
some of this. I think we all agree that it
could be probably done better, but it would take some time.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
So and we're well.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
The rest of the world focused on the holidays, and
so Ann Hirst is coming in to talk with us
a little bit about that next, to see.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Why so many people went to seek professional help to
help their mental health.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, be nice, be nice, door help someone change the flight.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
People an't even nice on the roadways, like road rage
is real? Wave?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
You having me?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
What the heck? Can you just let me over? I
would let you over.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
This is what matters on this extent. WTV in
