Speaker 1 (00:00):
Next News at nine thirty, Breaking news when it happens anytime,
Another hour with Bob Lonsbury starting now, Honey's ready a wham.
I love any thanks do I appreciate that. Good morning Americans, Hello,
my friend. Like always, it is a dlight to be
with you, no doubt about that. Interesting in the news
there Israel rejecting Donald Trump's fifteen point piece plan for Hamas,
(00:24):
which was a second bit of bad news that American
foreign policy unfortunately received over the weekend. The deal is that, obviously,
there was the terrorist attack of October seventh. There was
the very aggressive and hopefully successful military incursion into Gaza
(00:45):
by the Israeli defense forces. There was a lot of
media attention focused on that. Then there was seemingly negotiated
some conclusion or settlement. I don't know if that that
actually was the case. We just stopped paying attention. Where
these people are living now, how they're eating, how many
(01:06):
trucks today are coming in? Are they still intense so
they rebuilding buildings? We get nothing of that in our
American news. But at the time of the seeming cease fire,
President Trump announced that he had a fifteen point plan
he was going to have a special commission, and it
was going to oversee Gaza, and it was going to
(01:29):
create the you know, some grand resort area along whatever
ocean they have over there. And you know that there's
been no forward progress on any of that stuff. And
the very first step was supposed to be the disarming,
the demilitarization of Hamas, this Iranian backed terrorist group which
(01:52):
launched the October seventh attack and which has you know,
unfortunately taken over like bedbug, this Palestinian enclave in Gaza.
So at any rate, the big announcement is made by
President Trump that we've made grand progress and now the
(02:14):
process is going to go forward. The deal is though
that in this grand step, our side, if you will,
had made a major concession. The bottom line for Israel
at the whole thing was we Israel will withdraw from
Gaza when they Hamas have laid down their arms. Right.
(02:39):
Israel's position is, we have conquered this territory by force
of arms. We will surrender this territory only when the
foe we believe we've defeated is disarmed. And so when
they Hamas lay down their arms, from their rifles to
their missiles to their can in so their whatever they've got,
(03:01):
when they disarm, when they cease to be a military force,
we will cease to be a military occupying force. You
lay down your guns, and then we withdraw. That's been
the position from the start. There wasn't you know, Hamas
simply hasn't. Unfortunately, since the end of the conflict, if
(03:22):
you will, Hamas has turned its guns mostly on its neighbors,
tracking down and killing other Palestinian groups so that it
might have you know, complete control. And so to move
things along, the United States sort of made a concession
on behalf of Israel. The United States, the folks representing
(03:45):
President Trump said, Okay, Hamas, you don't have to lay
all your guns down, but you lay some of them down,
like okay, let's uh, no more cannons and then uh
and then Israel will will withdraw to a certain point
and then you lay down a few more guns and
they'll get farther away. And this was a concession made
(04:09):
to Hamas, the Iranian terrorist group. And you know, the
deal is that this wasn't run by Israel. And when
the announcement was made by President Trump, look at this,
we're going forward. You know, the Israeli government looked at
it and said with respect, like, hell we are you know,
(04:29):
when they disarm, we'll leave. We're not going to play
this halfway game. So anyway, that's the story there, and then,
of course, the far larger story is the continued tobaccle,
which is Iran. You know, we had President Trump and
we had the Secretary of the Treasury through the week
(04:53):
last week saying, oh, it could be today, could be tomorrow.
We're really close. We're really close. We've gotten a lot
of it for six months and we're really close or
really close. But I think Iran has seen how afraid
we are, or how badly Trump just wants to walk
(05:16):
away from this deal that Iran feels dramatically emboldened. You
will remember it launched a sneak attack on us. We
did not truly retaliate. We you know, boasted that we
will launch the largest military action since World War Two,
again a factually impossible feat, but we threatened it, and
(05:39):
then we said, gosh, we would have done it, but
all our allies to ask us to you to to
back off and leave you alone. And the response of
Iran to this was, we're pretty sure you're weak, and
so we're gonna up the ante. Iran's for a minister
over the week said that the only conditions under which
(06:04):
Iran would consider temporarily opening the Strait of Hormuz would
be that the United States would withdraw its armed forces
from the region, That the United States would end all
sanctions on Iran and its officials, That the United States
would unfreeze all frozen Iranian assets, that the United States
(06:28):
would pay some hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations
for damage done over the last six months in Iran.
The United States would pledge a peace against Iran, and
that the United States would stop saying bad things about Iran,
and further, that the United States would stop attacking or
(06:49):
stop supporting those who were in conflict with Iranian surrogate
armies like the Huthis, the Hamas that has Bellas and
absolute you know, I mean capitulation. And you know this
of course causes another delay and new part of Iran's
(07:11):
game is to delay so that it can rebuild its military.
It is being resupplied by China, it is receiving intelligence
from Russia, and every day they are you know, putting
themselves back together again. And we're sitting here, our hands
are tied. It is an amazing thing. I won't go
(07:34):
on on about this, but and I'm not trying to.
You know, I voted for Trump three times. I think
ultimately in a situation like this that you have to
look closely at those who give military advice to the president,
and that would be Pete Hegseth. But I honestly believe
that you. I'm having a hard time thinking of a
(07:59):
military endeavor which has ended so poorly for the United
States in our history. Right, We've had, especially since World
War Two, a lot of things that haven't worked out
exactly the way we would have liked. But in you know,
six months, the astounding fact is that our military, especially
(08:24):
our naval might, is humiliated. We have guaranteed free transit
of the world's oceans since the administration of Theodore Roosevelt.
We have demonstrated that we cannot, you know, back that guaranteed.
We have lost the Strait of Hormuz, which was open
and freely navigated before the war that we started. We
(08:46):
have depleted our offensive and defensive missiles to a very
large extent. Right, we have troubled the world's economy. We
have created difficulty for our citizens, and you know, the
stated objectives of our attack, none of them have been achieved.
(09:12):
So again, I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, I'm
not trying to be negative. But it's like one of
those things where, holy crap, are you following this how?
And again I just politely ask I stand in awe
and reverence of those who service in the military. You know,
I have a daughter and her husband who are currently serving.
I have you know, two other you know, sons in
(09:36):
law who are both combat veterans. You know, we are
an extremely pro military family, believe with all our hearts
and souls in the military of the United States of America,
and yet we have absolutely been passed in this conflict.
You know, We've come up with a lot of snuff videos.
Here we are blowing up a truck and by the way,
(09:58):
we're doing that with a four million dollar misus. But
you know, I just we end this situation, and it's
not ended. Iran will continue to you know, uh, they'll
continue to play us. There is no end in sight.
And we started it and we lost it, and that
(10:19):
is a very very bitter pill. And unfortunately we got
pants in front of the world. So everyone out there
who you know bears us ill, will you know it?
Recognizes that hold it, We're not all that And anyway,
I'll shut my mouth back with you in a moment.
(10:40):
On news radio WHAM eleven eighty, it's a high stakes
face off between red and Blue this November, and news
radio Wham eleven eighty brings you objective and accurate coverage
of every reason, the candidates, the issues, the results Election
twenty twenty six. Listen daily through November. Third News Radio
WAM eleven eighty. Now your chance at one thousand dollars
(11:02):

You'll get a confirmation text at INFO Standard Data and
MESSID rates A fly in this nationwide contest. That's music
to two hundred and two hundred. Hi, don't bet few
years for Benfitter is yours? Welcome back. I'm trying to
track down more information, but an activist legal group, conservative
(11:27):
based called American Center for Law and Justice has filed
a lawsuit Paulverino v. Brighton. I'm trying to track down
who Paulverino is and get a copy of the lawsuit.
I've reached out to this activist legal organization seeing if
someone can come on and tell us about it. But
as I understand this individual, paulver Reno, I don't know
if it's a mister or missus or whatever the deal is,
(11:51):
but Paverino has made repeated request over years to the
town of Brighton to put up a Nativity scene right
a manger if you will, the baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary,
who knows Camels, wise men, shepherd's sheep, And this request
(12:16):
has never been granted. But the assertion in Paulverino v.
Brighton is that the town of Brighton has allowed religious
displays at twelve corners honoring both Ramadan and Hanukkah. And
(12:39):
you know, the argument in Paulverino v. Brighton is that
there cannot be partiality among religions by a government entity
in the United States, and what's good for one has
to be good for the other. And the argument is
(12:59):
that if you allow a commemoration of Hanukkah, if you
allow a commemoration of Ramadan, then you must allow a
commemoration of Christmas. And one thing I'd point out here
is that there are some folks who seek to play
a moral equivalency with some of these things. For example,
(13:23):
Christmas decorations that are a snowman or a Christmas tree
or you know, Rudolph or Santa or stuff like that.
They say, oh, look that's Christmas. Well no it's not.
It is cultural Christmas, it is not religious Christmas. And
(13:45):
the deal is that with Hanakkah and Ramadan. And again
I'm not speaking against Hankah or Ramadan displays. Knock yourself
out if you have a policy of equality among religions,
but if you know, Ramadan is innately religious in nature.
(14:07):
The manora is a religious, undeniably religious symbol, an item.
And you know, just my thought is, if you do
those two things, then you must allow other religions. You know,
my stake is I am a Christian. I'd like to
see the Christian thing up there. I'm certain people of
(14:29):
other faiths, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever you might be, you probably
like to see your stuff there as well. And I
sure understand that. And so I think that the point
of Poverino v. Brighton is simply, you know, all or none,
we must all be treated the same by government that
(14:51):
makes good sense. And you know there is of course
the thought, well why would you specifically not allow the
Christian symbols? Right, and again frosty is not a religious symbol.
Thank you very much. We're gonna stop because Joe Laski's
got a newscast. We'll be back when he's done on
news radio. Wham eleven eighty. So here we are Iran.
(15:18):
I haven't seen anything yet. We're the war. It's a
gift to the world. What happens next, costing lies happens
year and taxpayer dollars us radio, I mean them an eighty.
You've heard those ads. A brand new bathroom in just
one day. Sounds great until the shortcuts show up, rushed
work corners cut and homeowners directly. But you know, in
(15:40):
this war with Iran here of late, we have learned
about boat drones, you know, the Ukraine War. I honest
with you, I heard anything about drones before that. And
then you know, it turns out that for war is
primarily fought with drones. In Iran, they've started using small,
(16:04):
remotely or AI controlled boats which can deliver explosives and
which also can conduct surveillance. Well, the Royal Marines part
of the Navy over in England. They in the spring
of this year began deploying something called the K three Scout.
(16:24):
It's a twenty seven foot uncrewed vessel which is capable
of delivering munitions, carrying some limited cargo, and conducting surveillance.
So you send it out there, you don't put people
at risk, and it is taking pictures constantly and showing
you what you feel like you need to see, so
(16:47):
very nice, good idea. Here's what they've discovered though, there
was a component in the cameras on the British drones
which was made in China, and it turned out that
that component was transmitting back to China in real time
(17:11):
everything that that British drone saw, exactly where that British
drone was, and everything that British drone was doing. And
you know, that's a pretty bold act of espionage. It
is unfortunately, an extraordinarily effective act of espionage, and it
(17:33):
has required at least temporarily the you know, this whole
fleet of a little drone boats is withdrawn as the
British military seeks to go through and remove the you know,
infiltration of their equipment by the Chinese government. And I
(17:54):
mentioned this simply because one, I'm not trying to be
a jerk here, China likes to spy and steal. China
spies on everything, and China steals everything. It's a fact, right.
And also, we live in a world in the United
States where Chinese components are in almost everything, where China
(18:20):
makes a lot of the stuff we use from well everything,
but certainly including things like appliances and communications equipment, the
cameras in your house, probably the one on your doorbell.
So much of what our world is is a product
of China. And you know, God blessed China. I'm glad
(18:43):
they make a lot of this stuff. It allows you
and I to have it. We've been foolish to surrender
being the world's manufacturer to China. It will work to
their benefit and to our hurt. But it makes you wonder,
given the fact that that government's culture involves broad theft
(19:05):
of intelligence and spying on everybody all the time, you
just wonder where else, say, in the civilian product world,
what do I have at my house that the Chinese
have somehow rigged to listen in or whatever? And you know,
you don't know, and you know not to plant seeds
(19:27):
of Oh my gosh, I'm afraid. No, I'm anxious. But
the British didn't expect that there was anything wrong with
their drone boats either, And so as we look around
through our society part of this. I think this may
be one of the reasons why over the last two
presidential administrations of President Trump and President Biden, there's been
(19:48):
such a big push to bring, for example, microchip manufacturing
to the United States, to try to engage in as
much of the production of the components as we can
so that one we can get that money into our economy,
but two, so that we can make sure that they
(20:10):
are not spying upon us. And excuse me not to
get into this whole deal with the data centers or
whatever else like that, but we have a problem in
that we are increasingly using AI in our society. And
when you talk about people using AI, it's not just them, Oh,
(20:30):
they're going to take away my job with AI, or
they are listening in on us with AI. You and
I almost inadvertently use artificial intelligence every day, often multiple
times per day. But as there's the increased use of
artificial intelligence, the infrastructure necessary for that, these data centers,
(20:50):
there will be more and more of that. When we
don't build those in the United States, we put ourselves
in a deficit, yes, but we also make ourselves more
reliant upon foreign data centers which we can access. And
the thing is, if we can access them, they can
(21:13):
access us. So you know that you just want to
making sure that they whoever they are, aren't spying on
us or worse is probably a good idea. And in
this modern world of you know, everything's on the internet
and everything is you know, all this high tech stuff
(21:35):
that brings tremendous blessings to our lives, no doubt about it,
but it also brings vulnerability. Really cool things work when
you have honest, decent people involved. But the percentage of honest,
decent people in the world, especially when it comes to
our interactions with foreign countries, turns out not to be
very high. And so at any rate, with convenience comes vulnerability.
(21:59):
And I hope and am grateful for you know, folks
in our government and in our corporations who are keeping
an eye on these vulnerabilities and hopefully protecting us. Take
a break back with you just a moment on news
radio Wham eleven eighty at the top in thirty minutes
cost the hour. We get to the bottom. Now time
to actually get down the business of today's top stories.
(22:22):
So we're going to be taking some very tough actions
for top of the mind awareness. Use radio Wham eleven
eighty you probably saw. The United States Department of Defense
has instituted a service wide program where once Gi Joe
gets to be thirty years of age, they test is
a testosterone level and if it's you know, not where
(22:43):
you know some might think it should be, they will
offer that service member testosterone therapy. Well, some folks look
at that and say, you know, if it's good enough
for the US military, it's good enough for me. If
you're curious about your testosterone level. If you believe that
if it's low, the additional testosterone therapeutically administered to you
(23:05):
might be helpful, well, then game day Men's Health, that's
where you want to go. They help you put the
edge back on five eight, five, six, four nine, nineteen
oh one. They test your blood, they check your testosterone level.
This is not some whambam kind of deal. It's a
medical clinic. It's run by a physician assistant to himself,
a veteran of the military The local number is five
(23:28):
eight five six four nine nineteen oh one. If you've
ever wondered about testosterone therapy have questions, these would be
good people to call. The website is Gamedaymen's Health dot com.
Are you having a hard time making it through a
day of work without the pain or discomfort with things
that used to be simple like walking the dog? You
may be think troopers welcome back. They're h I'm trying
(23:52):
to get some information on It's just a second they're on. Uh,
forgive me, I should have looked this up. Good Morning
America today. They were in Kenosha, Wisconsin at a diner.
Here's the deal. These TV shows that pop around from
diner to diner. Where where are all these diners? Where
(24:15):
you you? You're hoarding them at any rate. So they
stop off at this diner in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the
reporter very happily reports that he's eating a a garbage
plate and we go, what how can that be? And well,
(24:36):
here's the here's the deal. I'm trying to see if
I can find this piece of paper here. I'm not
having much success, But there there is a diner at Kenosha,
Wisconsin which has for years and years served something that
it calls a garbage plate. Now in Rochester we have plates.
(24:58):
Plates were born as garb garbage plates at Nick Tahoes.
The story often told back before you know Nick Tahoes,
it used to be as open twenty four or seven.
Nick Tahoes was always open, I think closed on Christmas
or something like that, from nineteen eighteen up until you know,
(25:19):
whenever I think it was Bill Johnson shut it down.
They would they'd serve food, and it used to be
the college students when the bars closed, that's when Nick
Tahoes made the money. And you know, everybody from the
bars went there and a lot of you know, college students,
University of Rochester, rit they all went there, and you know,
(25:45):
you'd get a garbage plate, and you know, late night,
you're half drunk, the bars closed, you get a garbage plate,
and that became part of the lore of Rochester and
it was really mostly out of area college students who
spent their four years like I said, at the U
riit and you know it was a happy memory. And
(26:10):
then you'd come back to town, you'd take your family
there to get the garbage plate and from Nick Tahoes
of course the plate concept spread, but you know, the
garbage plate name is trademarked by Nick Tahoes there on
West Main Street. But this place in Kenosha, Wisconsin, it
(26:33):
has independently developed a It's a big giant breakfast. Starts
with five eggs, they get scrambled, throw in some hash,
you get to pick a meat and it comes with
I think three, four or five pancakes, short stack, tall stack.
I don't know, but you get this big giant breakfast.
(26:54):
And for years and years they've called that a garbage plate.
Now did they rip off our friends at Nick Cahoes?
Is that a coincidentally developed name? I don't know. I'm
dieting currently and I'm a glutton always, So both garbage
plates appeal to me. Could I have one for breakfast
(27:16):
and one for dinner? I mean, if that works for
you guys. But anyway, so if you were watching a
Good Morning America today and you thought somebody said garbage plate,
that's the story on that. One. Other real quick thing
involving food service places a little bit of controversy of
(27:36):
late at in an out burger, which we don't have
around here. And if you get out west, you want
to stop in and get some. But the family that
owns in an out burger are are Christian people, and
so on their packaging they include very understated little Bible references,
(28:01):
Bible citations they don't like, for example, on the bottom.
I think of their cups up underneath the rim on
the bottom, where you don't see it unless you lift
it up and look at the bottom and peer at it.
It says John three point sixteen. And they, similarly, in
kind of discrete, quiet fashion, have on all the packaging
(28:23):
for their different food items, like here's the bag for
the fries, here's the thing you wrap the big burgers
up in. And there will be somewhere on the edge
they won't have the Bible verse written out. It'll just
be the reference the book, the chapter in the verse.
And they've just done that forever, right, And that was
(28:43):
all very cool. But in the wake of there was
a sad shooting out in Idaho. The owner of the
place of the president of the company, she sort of
posted something about a religious faith that drew attention to
these verses, and that drew criticism from, you know, folks
(29:04):
who said, hey, we don't want your Bible versus on
our Burger rapper, and so at any rate in and
out Burger has said, it's we're still going to leave
it on there. We're not bothering anybody. Please don't be offended.
It is interesting the hostility that some people have towards Christianity.
Just being honest with you, it is a species of bigotry.
(29:25):
And it is interesting that in this nation founded uh
and initially settled on the principle of you know, religious freedom,
that we are increasingly antagonistic towards our majority religion. It's
time for news, Joe Laski. We'll give that to us.
We'll be back when he's done. On news radio where
I'm eleven eighty today, day after day happening again. Fast

Another hour with Bob Lonsbury starting now, Honey's ready a wham.
I love any thanks do I appreciate that. Good morning Americans, Hello,
my friend. Like always, it is a dlight to be
with you, no doubt about that. Interesting in the news
there Israel rejecting Donald Trump's fifteen point piece plan for Hamas,
(00:24):
which was a second bit of bad news that American
foreign policy unfortunately received over the weekend. The deal is that, obviously,
there was the terrorist attack of October seventh. There was
the very aggressive and hopefully successful military incursion into Gaza
(00:45):
by the Israeli defense forces. There was a lot of
media attention focused on that. Then there was seemingly negotiated
some conclusion or settlement. I don't know if that that
actually was the case. We just stopped paying attention. Where
these people are living now, how they're eating, how many
(01:06):
trucks today are coming in? Are they still intense so
they rebuilding buildings? We get nothing of that in our
American news. But at the time of the seeming cease fire,
President Trump announced that he had a fifteen point plan
he was going to have a special commission, and it
was going to oversee Gaza, and it was going to
(01:29):
create the you know, some grand resort area along whatever
ocean they have over there. And you know that there's
been no forward progress on any of that stuff. And
the very first step was supposed to be the disarming,
the demilitarization of Hamas, this Iranian backed terrorist group which
(01:52):
launched the October seventh attack and which has you know,
unfortunately taken over like bedbug, this Palestinian enclave in Gaza.
So at any rate, the big announcement is made by
President Trump that we've made grand progress and now the
(02:14):
process is going to go forward. The deal is though
that in this grand step, our side, if you will,
had made a major concession. The bottom line for Israel
at the whole thing was we Israel will withdraw from
Gaza when they Hamas have laid down their arms. Right.
(02:39):
Israel's position is, we have conquered this territory by force
of arms. We will surrender this territory only when the
foe we believe we've defeated is disarmed. And so when
they Hamas lay down their arms, from their rifles to
their missiles to their can in so their whatever they've got,
(03:01):
when they disarm, when they cease to be a military force,
we will cease to be a military occupying force. You
lay down your guns, and then we withdraw. That's been
the position from the start. There wasn't you know, Hamas
simply hasn't. Unfortunately, since the end of the conflict, if
(03:22):
you will, Hamas has turned its guns mostly on its neighbors,
tracking down and killing other Palestinian groups so that it
might have you know, complete control. And so to move
things along, the United States sort of made a concession
on behalf of Israel. The United States, the folks representing
(03:45):
President Trump said, Okay, Hamas, you don't have to lay
all your guns down, but you lay some of them down,
like okay, let's uh, no more cannons and then uh
and then Israel will will withdraw to a certain point
and then you lay down a few more guns and
they'll get farther away. And this was a concession made
(04:09):
to Hamas, the Iranian terrorist group. And you know, the
deal is that this wasn't run by Israel. And when
the announcement was made by President Trump, look at this,
we're going forward. You know, the Israeli government looked at
it and said with respect, like, hell we are you know,
(04:29):
when they disarm, we'll leave. We're not going to play
this halfway game. So anyway, that's the story there, and then,
of course, the far larger story is the continued tobaccle,
which is Iran. You know, we had President Trump and
we had the Secretary of the Treasury through the week
(04:53):
last week saying, oh, it could be today, could be tomorrow.
We're really close. We're really close. We've gotten a lot
of it for six months and we're really close or
really close. But I think Iran has seen how afraid
we are, or how badly Trump just wants to walk
(05:16):
away from this deal that Iran feels dramatically emboldened. You
will remember it launched a sneak attack on us. We
did not truly retaliate. We you know, boasted that we
will launch the largest military action since World War Two,
again a factually impossible feat, but we threatened it, and
(05:39):
then we said, gosh, we would have done it, but
all our allies to ask us to you to to
back off and leave you alone. And the response of
Iran to this was, we're pretty sure you're weak, and
so we're gonna up the ante. Iran's for a minister
over the week said that the only conditions under which
(06:04):
Iran would consider temporarily opening the Strait of Hormuz would
be that the United States would withdraw its armed forces
from the region, That the United States would end all
sanctions on Iran and its officials, That the United States
would unfreeze all frozen Iranian assets, that the United States
(06:28):
would pay some hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations
for damage done over the last six months in Iran.
The United States would pledge a peace against Iran, and
that the United States would stop saying bad things about Iran,
and further, that the United States would stop attacking or
(06:49):
stop supporting those who were in conflict with Iranian surrogate
armies like the Huthis, the Hamas that has Bellas and
absolute you know, I mean capitulation. And you know this
of course causes another delay and new part of Iran's
(07:11):
game is to delay so that it can rebuild its military.
It is being resupplied by China, it is receiving intelligence
from Russia, and every day they are you know, putting
themselves back together again. And we're sitting here, our hands
are tied. It is an amazing thing. I won't go
(07:34):
on on about this, but and I'm not trying to.
You know, I voted for Trump three times. I think
ultimately in a situation like this that you have to
look closely at those who give military advice to the president,
and that would be Pete Hegseth. But I honestly believe
that you. I'm having a hard time thinking of a
(07:59):
military endeavor which has ended so poorly for the United
States in our history. Right, We've had, especially since World
War Two, a lot of things that haven't worked out
exactly the way we would have liked. But in you know,
six months, the astounding fact is that our military, especially
(08:24):
our naval might, is humiliated. We have guaranteed free transit
of the world's oceans since the administration of Theodore Roosevelt.
We have demonstrated that we cannot, you know, back that guaranteed.
We have lost the Strait of Hormuz, which was open
and freely navigated before the war that we started. We
(08:46):
have depleted our offensive and defensive missiles to a very
large extent. Right, we have troubled the world's economy. We
have created difficulty for our citizens, and you know, the
stated objectives of our attack, none of them have been achieved.
(09:12):
So again, I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, I'm
not trying to be negative. But it's like one of
those things where, holy crap, are you following this how?
And again I just politely ask I stand in awe
and reverence of those who service in the military. You know,
I have a daughter and her husband who are currently serving.
I have you know, two other you know, sons in
(09:36):
law who are both combat veterans. You know, we are
an extremely pro military family, believe with all our hearts
and souls in the military of the United States of America,
and yet we have absolutely been passed in this conflict.
You know, We've come up with a lot of snuff videos.
Here we are blowing up a truck and by the way,
(09:58):
we're doing that with a four million dollar misus. But
you know, I just we end this situation, and it's
not ended. Iran will continue to you know, uh, they'll
continue to play us. There is no end in sight.
And we started it and we lost it, and that
(10:19):
is a very very bitter pill. And unfortunately we got
pants in front of the world. So everyone out there
who you know bears us ill, will you know it?
Recognizes that hold it, We're not all that And anyway,
I'll shut my mouth back with you in a moment.
(10:40):
On news radio WHAM eleven eighty, it's a high stakes
face off between red and Blue this November, and news
radio Wham eleven eighty brings you objective and accurate coverage
of every reason, the candidates, the issues, the results Election
twenty twenty six. Listen daily through November. Third News Radio
WAM eleven eighty. Now your chance at one thousand dollars
(11:02):
and a trip to our Ihearts Radio Music Festival. To
text the nationwide keyword music to two hundred and two hundred.
You'll get a confirmation text at INFO Standard Data and
MESSID rates A fly in this nationwide contest. That's music
to two hundred and two hundred. Hi, don't bet few
years for Benfitter is yours? Welcome back. I'm trying to
track down more information, but an activist legal group, conservative
(11:27):
based called American Center for Law and Justice has filed
a lawsuit Paulverino v. Brighton. I'm trying to track down
who Paulverino is and get a copy of the lawsuit.
I've reached out to this activist legal organization seeing if
someone can come on and tell us about it. But
as I understand this individual, paulver Reno, I don't know
if it's a mister or missus or whatever the deal is,
(11:51):
but Paverino has made repeated request over years to the
town of Brighton to put up a Nativity scene right
a manger if you will, the baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary,
who knows Camels, wise men, shepherd's sheep, And this request
(12:16):
has never been granted. But the assertion in Paulverino v.
Brighton is that the town of Brighton has allowed religious
displays at twelve corners honoring both Ramadan and Hanukkah. And
(12:39):
you know, the argument in Paulverino v. Brighton is that
there cannot be partiality among religions by a government entity
in the United States, and what's good for one has
to be good for the other. And the argument is
(12:59):
that if you allow a commemoration of Hanukkah, if you
allow a commemoration of Ramadan, then you must allow a
commemoration of Christmas. And one thing I'd point out here
is that there are some folks who seek to play
a moral equivalency with some of these things. For example,
(13:23):
Christmas decorations that are a snowman or a Christmas tree
or you know, Rudolph or Santa or stuff like that.
They say, oh, look that's Christmas. Well no it's not.
It is cultural Christmas, it is not religious Christmas. And
(13:45):
the deal is that with Hanakkah and Ramadan. And again
I'm not speaking against Hankah or Ramadan displays. Knock yourself
out if you have a policy of equality among religions,
but if you know, Ramadan is innately religious in nature.
(14:07):
The manora is a religious, undeniably religious symbol, an item.
And you know, just my thought is, if you do
those two things, then you must allow other religions. You know,
my stake is I am a Christian. I'd like to
see the Christian thing up there. I'm certain people of
(14:29):
other faiths, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever you might be, you probably
like to see your stuff there as well. And I
sure understand that. And so I think that the point
of Poverino v. Brighton is simply, you know, all or none,
we must all be treated the same by government that
(14:51):
makes good sense. And you know there is of course
the thought, well why would you specifically not allow the
Christian symbols? Right, and again frosty is not a religious symbol.
Thank you very much. We're gonna stop because Joe Laski's
got a newscast. We'll be back when he's done on
news radio. Wham eleven eighty. So here we are Iran.
(15:18):
I haven't seen anything yet. We're the war. It's a
gift to the world. What happens next, costing lies happens
year and taxpayer dollars us radio, I mean them an eighty.
You've heard those ads. A brand new bathroom in just
one day. Sounds great until the shortcuts show up, rushed
work corners cut and homeowners directly. But you know, in
(15:40):
this war with Iran here of late, we have learned
about boat drones, you know, the Ukraine War. I honest
with you, I heard anything about drones before that. And
then you know, it turns out that for war is
primarily fought with drones. In Iran, they've started using small,
(16:04):
remotely or AI controlled boats which can deliver explosives and
which also can conduct surveillance. Well, the Royal Marines part
of the Navy over in England. They in the spring
of this year began deploying something called the K three Scout.
(16:24):
It's a twenty seven foot uncrewed vessel which is capable
of delivering munitions, carrying some limited cargo, and conducting surveillance.
So you send it out there, you don't put people
at risk, and it is taking pictures constantly and showing
you what you feel like you need to see, so
(16:47):
very nice, good idea. Here's what they've discovered though, there
was a component in the cameras on the British drones
which was made in China, and it turned out that
that component was transmitting back to China in real time
(17:11):
everything that that British drone saw, exactly where that British
drone was, and everything that British drone was doing. And
you know, that's a pretty bold act of espionage. It
is unfortunately, an extraordinarily effective act of espionage, and it
(17:33):
has required at least temporarily the you know, this whole
fleet of a little drone boats is withdrawn as the
British military seeks to go through and remove the you know,
infiltration of their equipment by the Chinese government. And I
(17:54):
mentioned this simply because one, I'm not trying to be
a jerk here, China likes to spy and steal. China
spies on everything, and China steals everything. It's a fact, right.
And also, we live in a world in the United
States where Chinese components are in almost everything, where China
(18:20):
makes a lot of the stuff we use from well everything,
but certainly including things like appliances and communications equipment, the
cameras in your house, probably the one on your doorbell.
So much of what our world is is a product
of China. And you know, God blessed China. I'm glad
(18:43):
they make a lot of this stuff. It allows you
and I to have it. We've been foolish to surrender
being the world's manufacturer to China. It will work to
their benefit and to our hurt. But it makes you wonder,
given the fact that that government's culture involves broad theft
(19:05):
of intelligence and spying on everybody all the time, you
just wonder where else, say, in the civilian product world,
what do I have at my house that the Chinese
have somehow rigged to listen in or whatever? And you know,
you don't know, and you know not to plant seeds
(19:27):
of Oh my gosh, I'm afraid. No, I'm anxious. But
the British didn't expect that there was anything wrong with
their drone boats either, And so as we look around
through our society part of this. I think this may
be one of the reasons why over the last two
presidential administrations of President Trump and President Biden, there's been
(19:48):
such a big push to bring, for example, microchip manufacturing
to the United States, to try to engage in as
much of the production of the components as we can
so that one we can get that money into our economy,
but two, so that we can make sure that they
(20:10):
are not spying upon us. And excuse me not to
get into this whole deal with the data centers or
whatever else like that, but we have a problem in
that we are increasingly using AI in our society. And
when you talk about people using AI, it's not just them, Oh,
(20:30):
they're going to take away my job with AI, or
they are listening in on us with AI. You and
I almost inadvertently use artificial intelligence every day, often multiple
times per day. But as there's the increased use of
artificial intelligence, the infrastructure necessary for that, these data centers,
(20:50):
there will be more and more of that. When we
don't build those in the United States, we put ourselves
in a deficit, yes, but we also make ourselves more
reliant upon foreign data centers which we can access. And
the thing is, if we can access them, they can
(21:13):
access us. So you know that you just want to
making sure that they whoever they are, aren't spying on
us or worse is probably a good idea. And in
this modern world of you know, everything's on the internet
and everything is you know, all this high tech stuff
(21:35):
that brings tremendous blessings to our lives, no doubt about it,
but it also brings vulnerability. Really cool things work when
you have honest, decent people involved. But the percentage of honest,
decent people in the world, especially when it comes to
our interactions with foreign countries, turns out not to be
very high. And so at any rate, with convenience comes vulnerability.
(21:59):
And I hope and am grateful for you know, folks
in our government and in our corporations who are keeping
an eye on these vulnerabilities and hopefully protecting us. Take
a break back with you just a moment on news
radio Wham eleven eighty at the top in thirty minutes
cost the hour. We get to the bottom. Now time
to actually get down the business of today's top stories.
(22:22):
So we're going to be taking some very tough actions
for top of the mind awareness. Use radio Wham eleven
eighty you probably saw. The United States Department of Defense
has instituted a service wide program where once Gi Joe
gets to be thirty years of age, they test is
a testosterone level and if it's you know, not where
(22:43):
you know some might think it should be, they will
offer that service member testosterone therapy. Well, some folks look
at that and say, you know, if it's good enough
for the US military, it's good enough for me. If
you're curious about your testosterone level. If you believe that
if it's low, the additional testosterone therapeutically administered to you
(23:05):
might be helpful, well, then game day Men's Health, that's
where you want to go. They help you put the
edge back on five eight, five, six, four nine, nineteen
oh one. They test your blood, they check your testosterone level.
This is not some whambam kind of deal. It's a
medical clinic. It's run by a physician assistant to himself,
a veteran of the military The local number is five
(23:28):
eight five six four nine nineteen oh one. If you've
ever wondered about testosterone therapy have questions, these would be
good people to call. The website is Gamedaymen's Health dot com.
Are you having a hard time making it through a
day of work without the pain or discomfort with things
that used to be simple like walking the dog? You
may be think troopers welcome back. They're h I'm trying
(23:52):
to get some information on It's just a second they're on. Uh,
forgive me, I should have looked this up. Good Morning
America today. They were in Kenosha, Wisconsin at a diner.
Here's the deal. These TV shows that pop around from
diner to diner. Where where are all these diners? Where
(24:15):
you you? You're hoarding them at any rate. So they
stop off at this diner in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the
reporter very happily reports that he's eating a a garbage
plate and we go, what how can that be? And well,
(24:36):
here's the here's the deal. I'm trying to see if
I can find this piece of paper here. I'm not
having much success, But there there is a diner at Kenosha,
Wisconsin which has for years and years served something that
it calls a garbage plate. Now in Rochester we have plates.
(24:58):
Plates were born as garb garbage plates at Nick Tahoes.
The story often told back before you know Nick Tahoes,
it used to be as open twenty four or seven.
Nick Tahoes was always open, I think closed on Christmas
or something like that, from nineteen eighteen up until you know,
(25:19):
whenever I think it was Bill Johnson shut it down.
They would they'd serve food, and it used to be
the college students when the bars closed, that's when Nick
Tahoes made the money. And you know, everybody from the
bars went there and a lot of you know, college students,
University of Rochester, rit they all went there, and you know,
(25:45):
you'd get a garbage plate, and you know, late night,
you're half drunk, the bars closed, you get a garbage plate,
and that became part of the lore of Rochester and
it was really mostly out of area college students who
spent their four years like I said, at the U
riit and you know it was a happy memory. And
(26:10):
then you'd come back to town, you'd take your family
there to get the garbage plate and from Nick Tahoes
of course the plate concept spread, but you know, the
garbage plate name is trademarked by Nick Tahoes there on
West Main Street. But this place in Kenosha, Wisconsin, it
(26:33):
has independently developed a It's a big giant breakfast. Starts
with five eggs, they get scrambled, throw in some hash,
you get to pick a meat and it comes with
I think three, four or five pancakes, short stack, tall stack.
I don't know, but you get this big giant breakfast.
(26:54):
And for years and years they've called that a garbage plate.
Now did they rip off our friends at Nick Cahoes?
Is that a coincidentally developed name? I don't know. I'm
dieting currently and I'm a glutton always, So both garbage
plates appeal to me. Could I have one for breakfast
(27:16):
and one for dinner? I mean, if that works for
you guys. But anyway, so if you were watching a
Good Morning America today and you thought somebody said garbage plate,
that's the story on that. One. Other real quick thing
involving food service places a little bit of controversy of
(27:36):
late at in an out burger, which we don't have
around here. And if you get out west, you want
to stop in and get some. But the family that
owns in an out burger are are Christian people, and
so on their packaging they include very understated little Bible references,
(28:01):
Bible citations they don't like, for example, on the bottom.
I think of their cups up underneath the rim on
the bottom, where you don't see it unless you lift
it up and look at the bottom and peer at it.
It says John three point sixteen. And they, similarly, in
kind of discrete, quiet fashion, have on all the packaging
(28:23):
for their different food items, like here's the bag for
the fries, here's the thing you wrap the big burgers
up in. And there will be somewhere on the edge
they won't have the Bible verse written out. It'll just
be the reference the book, the chapter in the verse.
And they've just done that forever, right, And that was
(28:43):
all very cool. But in the wake of there was
a sad shooting out in Idaho. The owner of the
place of the president of the company, she sort of
posted something about a religious faith that drew attention to
these verses, and that drew criticism from, you know, folks
(29:04):
who said, hey, we don't want your Bible versus on
our Burger rapper, and so at any rate in and
out Burger has said, it's we're still going to leave
it on there. We're not bothering anybody. Please don't be offended.
It is interesting the hostility that some people have towards Christianity.
Just being honest with you, it is a species of bigotry.
(29:25):
And it is interesting that in this nation founded uh
and initially settled on the principle of you know, religious freedom,
that we are increasingly antagonistic towards our majority religion. It's
time for news, Joe Laski. We'll give that to us.
We'll be back when he's done. On news radio where
