Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good evening. I'm Bob Lonsbury and from the banks the
Mighty Genesee in Rochester, New York. This is downtown section
third Platoon. Interesting little arrest up in Herondiquette. I think
maybe on Friday there was a sixteen year old who
was standing outside stores selling candy. Now where he got
that candy. I don't know. Everybody's trying to sell candy. Now.

(00:34):
You think of like the girl Scouts and them cookies,
and you think about, oh, here, I'm a boy Scout,
buy some popcorn. You think about the veterans with their
poppies there, and you think, oh, I've seen that. Yeah,
this isn't that nice. And no, you haven't seen this,
I hope, and no it's not nice. The sixteen year

(00:57):
old was ashling people go up to the may by
my candy and no thanks, I'm not I didn't come
here for candy, and the kid gets in her face
and it had resulted in fights. And he's been doing
this for an extended period of time, to such an
extent that he had before Friday been banned from culver

(01:19):
Ridge Plaza and so once no, the owner there said
to the copper, is the wonderful Rondequoit PD. We know,
we don't, we don't. He's not welcome here, make him
go away, and so he gets banned. You come back,
it's trespassing, that's more serious. So he moved on to
Culver Ridge Plaza and again, you know, he's pestering people,

(01:47):
pestering people, pestering people. Through the course of the day
on Friday, four separate times he was told by police
to go away. Finally, I think Wegmans that owns the
plaza said no, we want him arrested for tree best passing.
He's got to go. Well, so Irondequoit police go to
effect this arrest again a sixteen year old who's kind

(02:07):
of hassling people selling them candy. And again, where did this?
I wonder where this candy came from? Right is this? Yeah?
And what is his profit margin? Well, the deal is
that when the police come to say, sorry, Bud, you
we're gonna assite you for trespassing, this will surprise you.
The sixteen year old in question was not cooperative. Oh

(02:31):
a little bit of resisting. Turns out that that did
not deter the Irondiquoit police, and the young gentleman was
very quickly in custody, and a video of that has
popped up and circulated around. And you know how it
works in America. Right, if there's a video of a cop,

(02:52):
the cop is wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I don't care what the cop is doing. Right, the
cop could be delivering a baby, forming CPR while simultaneously
curing cancer and pulling ducklings out of the storm drain.
But still that cop is wrong. Okay, that cop is
obviously violating someone's rights, probably having to do with race

(03:14):
or something along nose lines. And we need to immediately
send that video all over so that we might hold
this cop accountable. Someone please call rachel or the Police
Accountability Board. Shout out to that officer, what's your name?
What's your name? What's your badge number? One of the
many reasons I'm not a police officer, Okay, beyond basic

(03:34):
incompetence and unworthiness, which I think are fairly big, but
beyond that, I think about the first person to shout
what's your badge number? I would hold up my middle finger,
my right middle finger, and I'd say I'm badge number one.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Pal.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's what I would do. And it turns out that actually,
in modern policing, they don't like it when you do that,
and so and Bobby gets fired. And maybe I had
it coming. I don't know. But the deal is, anytime
there's a video of a cop, the American Jerkney reaction
is the cop is wrong, the cop is wrong. Okay.

(04:14):
And here's let me just say, if I could say
one thing to the schools of New York State. If
you can't teach kids to read, all right, and I
think we we agnowledged that you can't teach kids to read, Okay,
could you at least teach them how to make a
cell phone video. When you make the video which you

(04:36):
say shows the cops doing something wrong, must you always
give us motion sickness? Can you hold the damn phone still? Also?
Could you like frame, like, could you aim? Could you
point the phone at what's happening? Okay? Yeah, I don't
want to be critical of the folks out there, because

(04:58):
here's the thing. Cop farts on the sidewalk and everybody
pulls their phone out, Okay, everybody, it's a well you
and you'll see, like, here's one person and I'm watching
the video of the police officer trying to rest somebody,
and you look at the circle around. Everybody's got their
phone out there. Okay, yeah, no, look, I'm I'm making
a video of a cop. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, But

(05:21):
if again, please, if you must video police officers or
anything else, hold your damn phone. Still have some pride
of craftsmanship. Okay. Honestly, you're never gonna go viral making
crap videos. But you see the video of a cop
and you figure, oh, what's that cop doing wrong? And

(05:41):
if the cop is interacting with a person of color.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh, somebody called Rachel right away, it gets it gets
Stanley Martin on the line.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Stat I mean we were crapping our breeches over this, right, Well,
that's why roundI koit police, we're arresting the land. He
was hassling people to buy candy. And here's the you
know what, I'm not a salesperson. I don't understand sales techniques.
I wouldn't be good at a night's starve, okay. And

(06:15):
you know, as people try to innovate, they try to
think of new ways to do things. Okay. If you
want to sell somebody something and they don't want to
buy it, okay, in the old days, you just chalked
that up to I didn't make the sale. Now, using
new techniques, you try to beat the hell out of them.
Oh you don't want to buy this, okay, all right,

(06:37):
come here, put up your dukes. Thank goodness. At car
dealerships and stuff like that, it's not that way.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I don't really know if I want to buy the
exlt package.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
And then all of a sudden the salesperson throws down
the pen and goes, okay, pal, that's all I'm taking
off of you. Put up your dukes anyway, So you're
on a quoite. Police snank you very much. Thanks for
protecting those two plazas. Thanks to the owner of the
properties for saying the guy's not welcome. We ought to
be able to go to and from our cars, to
go into stores to buy stuff without getting hassled by thugs.

(07:11):
Just an fyi on that. This is Downtown section third
Platoon on news radio Wham eleven eight Ontown, second and
third platoon. You ever heard of this bastard, Anthony Fauci. Yeah,
like a doctor or something like that. Very short man,
very very short man, pretty dishonest man. As you know,

(07:35):
there was a government owned telephone which he had. Recently
this has come into the possession of I think it's
a House committee, maybe a Senate committee, forgive me, that's
investigating him. Remember when Rand Paul was reaming him pretty good?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I invite the council. I'd like to invoke my fifth Amendment.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right one h eleven times? What day is today?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
On the inviting council, I'd like to invoke.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
My what color is your tie?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Only? Invited council, I'd like to invoke my That guy
Member Fauci, Yeah, well, we had his diary, his journal before, uh,
in the little Princess diary anyway, but he had his
diary before.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Now I have his phone. He had his We have
his phone, uh, and the text messages that were, you know,
transmitted thereby and thus far just one of them has emerged.
But it has to do with the period of time
when the federal government was pushing hard on you've got

(08:45):
to get the vaccine, right, You've got to get the vaccine.
You've got to get the vaccine. You've got to get
the vaccine. It's perfectly safe. This is a pandemic of
the unvaccinated. You've got to get the vaccine. Okay, about
qurt to seven at night on the twenty fifth of

(09:09):
January and twenty twenty one. Okay, so we are what
a week into in the first week of the Biden administration,
and we're hitting the vaccine hard, and Anthony Fauci is saying,
everybody must get the vaccine. You got to get the

(09:30):
vaccine up. It's perfectly safe. Get the vaccine well at
any rate. He sent this text to someone again twenty
five January twenty twenty one, the exact same timeframe where
he's pushing the vaccine for everybody, but he texted to

(09:51):
someone quote, I asked around a bit more and another
issue came up that you need to be aware of.
Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after
the second dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage

(10:13):
in the first trimester. A cytokine storm. It doesn't sound good,
it doesn't sound healthy, right because many people many means
like a lot. It's not like a few or like

(10:33):
a random or something like that. Many. I ask around
a bit more and another issue came up that you
need to be aware of. Since many people have a
significant cytokines storm and fever after the second dose, this
theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester,

(10:57):
but keep taking the shot. The shot could make make
you lose your baby, but theoretically, but keep taking the shot.
How many how many families lost their baby because of this?
How many young ladies with the dream, oh I'm pregnant,

(11:18):
and and the pain, as is often the case, the
emotional heartache that can come from miscarriage. How many times
did that happen? How many young mothers wept because they
were obedient to doctor Fauci to the detriment of the
life of their own born child. Let me look up here.

(11:39):
I'm not smart about what is cytokine's storm is? If
I can get my phone to work here, it's a
freaking second. It locks. Okay, second, all right? Ce y
t o k I n E s um Oops, okay,
cytokine sir. It's it's problematic that doctor Fauci misspelled cytokine.

(12:01):
But it's all right. So cytokine storm is holy crap,
I asked Ai. Ai says a cytokine storm is a severe,
life threatening immune reaction where the body rapidly releases a
massive amount of signaling proteins called cytokines into the blood.

(12:24):
This overactivation causes extreme runaway inflammation that can damage tissues
and lead to multi organ failure. That's according to the
Cleveland Clinic. Yeah, he said, since many people have significant

(12:45):
cytokine storm and fever fever after the second dose without
regard to miscarriage for these ladies in their first trimester.
As horrible as that is, there is the addition thought,
additional thought that triggering a cytokine storm in anybody is

(13:05):
not good for them and poses a peril to them.
It just enrages me. I mean, here's the thing. You
can tell people the truth, say, we believe this shot
will be helpful. Our judgment is this is the best
way forward for us to go. Now, if you get
the shot, here's what might happen. Okay, And you could

(13:28):
just tell exactly what you said in this text, but
you could say it out loud for people to make
their decisions about the shot. Some ladies might say it's worthwhile,
I'm going to do it. Other ladies might say, you
know what, I think, I'm going to hold off. But
that's their decision. Anthony, You prick, it's not yours, right.

(13:50):
This man is not God. He's a medical doctor, and
seemingly not a very good one of those. And here's
the deal. If this doctor knew that, and a lot
of doctors knew that, including state and county health directors
across this country. Not all of them. I'm the critical
of them. In our region. Some of our county health
directors were outstanding, but not all of them. Not all

(14:13):
of them, And at any rate, this pisses me off.
This is Downtown Section third Platoon on news radio. Wha'm
eleven eighty Welcome back. This is Downtown Section, third platoon.
We're talking about your friend there, Tony Fauci, Anthony Fauci,
I think his name was medical doctor. At any rate,

(14:33):
there is an additional text exchange. It's between doctor Fauci
and doctor Murphy. I can't remember doctor Murphy's exact position.
Was he surgeon general or something, but VIVEC. Murphy was

(14:55):
a high up person in the Trump I'm sorry, and
the bidendministration. And at any rate, it seems that that
note from Fauci about the possibility that the vaccine the
second dose could cause miscarriage in the first trimester mom,

(15:18):
that that note apparently went to either directly or as
part of a group to doctor VIVEC. Murphy and at
any rate, here's here's what doctor Murphy wrote back to
doctor Fauci. This is really helpful. Thanks. I've been hearing

(15:39):
the concern about the mr NA causing mutations in the
developing fetus as well. That's a really good point ari
the cytokine storm post second dose. And then there's another
thing where doctor Murphy VIVEC. Murphy second where he the

(16:06):
next day he writes to doctor Fauci and to a
lady named Rochelle, and he goes, Tony Rochelle, did you
see this announcement today from who? That's the World Health
Organization saying they advise against pregnant women taking the madarena
vaccine because of a lack of data. It has led

(16:27):
to a flurry of questions, what is your take? I
imagine we will all get asked about this. So here's
here are two things that you know. One, doctor VIVEK. Murphy,
who was a surgeon General under Joe Biden for a

(16:48):
period of time. The Surgeon General is saying I've heard
that the mn RA whatever you say, could cause birth effects.
And then they talk about the recommendation from the World
Health Organization that the second dose not be given again.

(17:09):
This is the day after Fauci tells Murphy that the
second dose can lead to a cytochine storm and a
high fever that could endanger a first semester trimester pregnancy.
And I would just like to point out that the

(17:30):
World Health Organization warned mothers about this. The United States
government did not. And you know, I'm an American, and
I look on the World Health Organization and forgive me,
but I think they're a bunch of you know, third
world blockheads. Why I probably have the arrogance of an American.

(17:53):
I think, well, if we do it, our smart people
say this is the right thing to do, then that's
the right thing to do. In this situation. Though, the
advice of the World Health Organization was better than the
advice of the United States government. And the unfortunate reality
is that it seems that both Fauci and Mrthy were

(18:17):
aware of at least potential problems that warranted the Who's
warning right again, you can trigger this cydo king storm
and a high fever that can endo pregnancy. Or Doctor
Murphy had heard about the possibility of the whatever that
vaccine was was causing fetal birth effects. Do you remember

(18:42):
any time that they said any of that stuff to us?
Did they warn any moms and dads? They didn't, right,
And listen, I'm not some conspiracy person here. I'm not
up in the night, you know, cussing on vaccines or
whatever like that. But doctors are supposed to have your

(19:03):
best interest at heart. And when you are a public
health official, a doctor for a community or a country,
then you should not be dealing in deception. And hiding
information from people is deception. And I want to go
on on about this, but this is horrific. And to

(19:26):
Rand Paul or whoever else in the Congress is out
there going after Fauci, I would say, nail him to
the wall. Here's the reality, though, that any sort of
criminal responsibility for these acts of deception or malfeasance, Doctor
Fauci is completely pardoned for all of those by a

(19:50):
pre empty pardon issued by President Biden in his last
little bit of time in office. So Fauci's in the
CA seat. He can't be punished for what he did
back then. It horrifies me. We trusted these people and
they proved untrustworthy. Part of that was ignorance which I

(20:14):
can forgive. Ignorance, right, if you don't know and you're
figuring this out as you go, I understand you're not
always going to be right. But arrogance I can never
forgive in a situation like this, and dishonesty concealing of
pertinent significant information I can likewise never forgive. If you

(20:38):
made a mistake and guessed wrong, Okay, that'll happen. But
when you purposefully keep information from people, when you do this,
presumably out of some sense of superiority, how you know
better than the rest of us, that is in my mind, unforgivable.
And at any rate, it's just enraging. And I want

(21:02):
to point out to you that people lost their careers,
healthcare professionals, so many nurses, people working in the cafeteria
and the maintenance at the hospitals lost their careers because
they would not take shots that they were like we
all were lied to about in incredible This is Downtown Section,

(21:23):
third Ptoon on news radio Wham eleven eight. Welcome back.
This is Downtown Section, third Platoon. I every now and
again will dream, as I have for years of being
in the newsroom of a newspaper. It'll often be a

(21:46):
newsroom that's patterned after the newsrooms of the old Gannet
newspapers here in Rochester. I got out of the Army
in nineteen eighty eight, went directly to a job as
a reporter for the Times Union. Walked into the newsroom,

(22:07):
a vast open floor with dozens of desks and dozens
of busy people, the reporters working at them. There was
like a glass divider of sorts, and on the other
side of it, and even larger open office was the

(22:28):
Democrat and Chronicle newsroom. In time, that dividing wall would
be removed and you had the whole floor of a building,
desk after desk after desk, and there would be reporters
and editors and others working in there. And like I say,
I have a recurring dream. It's not the same dream,

(22:48):
but it's the same theme that I have. You know,
I'm had a newspaper, and you know I'm a little
behind in my writing, but I need to it down
and do some reporting and do some writing, and it
will be a vast array of desks and lots of
people busily at it preparing a newspaper. In the course

(23:12):
of my career. That's how newspapers used to be. And
when I got out of the army and I came
to Rochester, and I walked in the front door of
that building that said Gannett Newspapers, and I came past security,
and I went through a wonderful ornate metal at the elevator,
and I went up to what fourth or fifth floor,

(23:35):
I can't remember, where the newsroom was. And I walked
in there and I saw that army of reporters and
it liked it took my breath away. I was struck
with what an incredible privilege and blessing it was to
be one of them, to be working on a paper

(23:56):
like that among people like that. I loved the people
with whom I worked. They were fascinating. And I very
quickly came to the conclusion that the people I worked
with in newspapering, the other reporters, the editors, were the

(24:16):
most thoughtful, knowledgeable, logical, intelligent group of people I had
ever come across. They were people who were by nature curious,
and they like to look into things, and they had
a rational approach. Try to prove what you believe, and
you know, okay, and you need to confirm this, and

(24:39):
the conversations in the Genet cafeteria, and we had one
of those with a salad bar with artichokes on the
salad bar, which was quite a delicacy, I thought at
the time. But we would sit there and lunch was
always fascinating because of the people you were talking to.
They were so bright, so knowledgeable. You just sat there

(25:04):
in awe of them. I loved every bit of it
in you know, But the newspaper world changed. The words
in the newspaper became increasingly hostile to the readers of
the newspaper. The Democrat and Chronicle particularly abandoned its readers

(25:24):
and took up some you know, grand you know, progressive cause.
But that's not what killed newspapers by any stretch of
the imagination. Newspapers had been antagonistic to their readers beliefs
and values for decades before I came along. What happened
to newspapers was Craigslist ultimately Facebook, marketplace places that had

(25:49):
free classified ads that just cut the legs out from
underneath newspapers financially. Also, the Gannet newspaper chain had just
horrible misguided management demanded everybody think out of one brain,
demanded that the nationwide newspaper chain be woke all day

(26:13):
every day. DEI was the only thing that mattered. And again,
very quickly, the money went out of it, and the
Gannet building was sold. It's now I think storage, and
supposedly they have housing units in there. I don't know.
The newspaper went to some main street offices leased with

(26:39):
a plastic temporary sign out front. The newspaper couldn't afford
really to pay it's lease. After a while, the City
of Rochester bailed it out by sub letting the space
for the Police Accountability Board, paying some of the highest
per square foot office rates in Rochester as a favor

(27:02):
to the very you know, pro Democrat paper. And then
you know, the city said we can afford this and
move the Police Accountability Board out of there, and all
of a sudden Gannett couldn't afford that anymore. And over
the weekend I was astounded to see posted on a
Facebook page that serves, you know, people who used to

(27:23):
work at Gannette, that the Democrat and Chronicle had moved
at least part of its operation to Henrietta to a
place called Spot Coworking, which is one of those places
where you kind of rent to pretend office. You can
tell people, give them the address and say, oh, yeah,
we're a dozen such a place, like you have an

(27:44):
office when you really don't, and maybe you go in
there and sit and write and type. I don't know,
but there is no longer a newsroom. And you know,
that dream still comes back where I am with dozens
and dozens of other orders and I'm scrambling to get
out a column. But the reality is that there is

(28:06):
no such newsroom anymore, not in this town and not
really anywhere. The newspaper industry for almost all of American history,
crucial to our society, has now kind of in a
relatively short time, become not only bankrupt but meaningless. And anyway,

(28:28):
it is astounding that the home of a newspaper chain
now again. We're running office space in Henrietta, God bless
Henrietta from the banks of the Mighty Genesee in Rochester,
New York. This is Downtown Section, third Platoon, and we
are ten to seven on the night
