Speaker 2: Pank show for you this morning, and Joey Celipek is

00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: going to be along a little bit later to give

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: us the very latest updates on the storm system. Also,

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: just want to sort of lay out the landscape for

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: you here here at the radio station. We are going

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: to be live as much as humanly possible over the

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: next seventy two hours, providing you with all the latest information,

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: especially when it comes to power outages and road conditions

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: and things of that nature. So there's gonna be there

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: will be a lot of moving parts, but we're going

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: to keep you updated not only on the radio, but

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: also on our social media feeds, so we would love

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: for you to be sure to follow us on all

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 2: of the social media feeds. One other thing, and this

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: is an important one. One of the things about radio towers.

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: They are very large, and the radio towers are very tall,

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: and they don't like ice. So when when you have

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: any sort of significant ice build up, sometimes the signal

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: there is interference, and it doesn't matter if you're AM

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: or FM, it's just the nature of the beast. What

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: are you going to do? So well, we've answered that

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: question actually because we have an app for you to

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: download and you can listen to the mighty nine ninety

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: on your phone, our streaming system and our streaming service.

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: It is not impacted by the weather, so you'll be

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: able to listen and get breaking news information throughout the

00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: next seventy two hours and you'll be able to listen

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: to KWHAM wherever you are across the nation. All right,

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: so here's what we're going to do this morning. And

39
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: we've got a lot of news to cover as well.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: But we put out an item on our social media

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: page yesterday on our Facebook page, and you guys are

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: amazing and offer so much information. It's a very simple question.

43
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Grocery stores are starting to empty out, so the shelves

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: are starting to look a little bit sparse. So here's

45
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: what we're looking for this morning. We want to know

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: and this is where you can help us. We want

47
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: to know where you can find groceries, Where can you

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: find supplies. We've been getting some notes on our social

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: media page about where people can find generators. What about

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: snow removal? Is there someone who might be able to help,

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: especially for some of our older KWAM listeners, They're going

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: to be looking for folks to help with snow removal,

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: also things like firewood, candles, things you might need. And

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: we're going to go through a checklist a little bit

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: later just to make sure, just to make sure that

56
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: everybody has what they need. But if you know of

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: a good place to get supplies, if you want to,

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: or if you've been down to Kroger in bucksnort Tennessee

00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: is why is why is this important? Well, it's important

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: because you guys are a citizen journalist. I think a

66
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: couple of years ago when I bought the station, I

67
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: deputized the entire city. So all of you guys are

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: citizen journalist and we want to help each other, and

69
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: this is the way that we can do that. So again,

70
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: give us a call. Let us know. I do know

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: that a lot of folks were wondering abouts. Those seem

00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: Acid Water holding a press conference yesterday. Memphis Like asim

79
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Water says they are prepared for the storm, but it

80
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: is going to be a big storm. As a matter

81
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: of fact. We're going to get to the latest information

82
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: from the National Weather Service here in just a moment.

83
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: But that winter storm watch goes into effect at noon

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: tomorrow and will stay stay up until January the twenty fifth,

85
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: and we understand the frigid temperatures looking ahead this Sunday night,

86
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be two degrees two degrees here in

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: the mid South. MLGW held a briefing yah yesterday saying

88
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: that they are prepared and they know that there are

89
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: going to be outages. A seventy five electrical crews on standby,

90
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: thirty five utility employees, thirty five contract crews, and you know,

91
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Solapek was talking about this yesterday. He said that the

92
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: issue is this storm is so massive that they're going

93
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: to have a hard time finding outside crews to come

94
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: in and help, specifically in Memphis, because they're helping in

95
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: so many other areas. So I was talking to some

96
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: folks emergency management last night. They say this is changing.

97
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: The forecast is literally changing on an hourly basis. So

98
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: we're going to just chill out here. We're going to

99
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: be prepared, but we're also going to cover the major

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: news of the day. All right again, our telephone number

101
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

102
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.

103
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: By the way, Senator Bill Haggerty is in the headlines.

104
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: He's surfaced yesterday making an appearance on Fox and he

105
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: is very, very excited about the work that's being done

106
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: here in Memphis. When it comes to the crime crackdown.

107
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: Let's take a lesson.

108
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: Look at what happened in my home state of Memphis.

109
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: I began working with the local mayor back in twenty

110
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: twenty four, Governor Lee a republic but stepping up here

111
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: in Tennessee cooperating local leadership in Memphis cooperating. And what's happened.

112
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: We've rested over five thousand criminals on the streets of Memphis.

113
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: Memphis had become on a per capita basis the murder

114
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: capital of America in twenty twenty three, and that has

115
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: changed dramatically. And it's all because of local cooperation with

116
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: federal authorities. We've got sixteen different federal agencies working hand

117
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: in glove with local authorities in Memphis. Right now, Memphis

118
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: is becoming one of the safest cities in America. What

119
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: a contrast versus Manneapolis.

120
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: So I gotta note this is sort of funny. I

121
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: got a call from the Senator's office, you know, Mber,

122
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 2: was it about a month or so ago we did

123
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: the big feed up of the troops. You know, k

124
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: we haven't fed the troops, and so we get we

125
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: get a note from the senator's office, and this ties

126
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: into who he is thinking talking about how he was

127
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: working with the mayor's office. Mayor had nothing to do

128
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: with this. Governorly had nothing to do this. Govern really

129
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: never wanted to send the National Guard to Memphis. And

130
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: again that's water under the bridge. But you know, whenever

131
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: these senators come out there and they're trying to prop

132
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: up all of these failed elected leaders we have in

133
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: this state, we got to call them out on it.

134
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: So anyway, they asked for a list of all the

135
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: people responsible because they wanted to send these very nice,

136
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: kind thank you notes. Helen, you don't need to turn

137
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: your rock. Have we gotten our thank you? Let know

138
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: we have not, all right, just just checking, just check,

139
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: not a big deal. We don't do it for the

140
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: thank you. We do it because it's the right thing

141
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: to do, all right. So last night we had a

142
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: great conversation. You know, we've been following the developments out

143
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: of Minnesota, and I want to I just want to

144
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: say something about the Attorney General, Pam BONDI for just

145
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: some she's a very nice person. I don't think that

146
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: she is necessarily qualified to do the job that she

147
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: was hired to do in this administration. The same thing's

148
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: happening in Homeland Security, by the way. So they announced,

149
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: they announced two days ago that arrest would be made

150
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: within hours regarding the storming of the church, a city's

151
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And they said within hours

152
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: we're going to we're going to have arrest. There were

153
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: no arrests. Nobody's been arrested. As a matter of fact,

154
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: the exact opposite is happening. Now. You have elected leaders.

155
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: We're talking about Democrat state lawmakers, including Congress peoples, and

156
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: they're out there saying that these activists actually do have

157
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: a right to storm church houses across America. This is insanity,

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: but this is what the Democrats are doing. And these

159
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: are registered Democrats, they were elected as Democrats. It's therefore

160
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: it is their party that's responsible for the storming of

161
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 2: churches in America. So we don't know, we don't know when,

162
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: we don't know when these people are going to be

163
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: arrested in charge, but we do know. They held a

164
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: press conference yesterday and the activist who stormed into the church,

165
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: they said the church was unfriendly to them, and they

166
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: also are now demanding that the pastor, one of the

167
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: pastors works for ICE and they want the pastor fired.

168
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: They want the pastor to lose his job at the church. Insanity.

169
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll keep you updated on that. But here's

170
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: the deal at the Vice president, Jade Vance. They announced

171
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: yesterday he's flying to Minneapolis, and I think this is great.

172
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: I've got no problem at all with the vice president

173
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: and being boosts on the ground. But unless there are

174
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred soldiers in the plane with him, I'm not

175
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: sure what the point of all of it is. We

176
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: don't need any more photo ops. I mean, you've got people. Yesterday, Greg,

177
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: who's a regular on my national radio show. He's with

178
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: Border Patrol. Greg Bavino was leading a team at a speedway,

179
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, a convenience store. They refuse to let him in.

180
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: They weren't allowed to buy any i know, doctor pepper

181
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: and Cheeto's or whatever they were going to get. They

182
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: wanted a snack. You know. It's it's a lot of

183
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: work rounding up these uh, these illegals and these activists,

184
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: especially the big bone galves of girth. I mean, you

185
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: could you could work up a sweat. I'm just saying

186
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: it's kind of like, well, it's kind of like hurting jello, right,

187
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: It's there's a lot of blubber there. So anyway, they're

188
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: they're trying to get a snack, they're wanting a doctor pepper,

189
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: and they said, no, you're not allowed here. And then

190
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: the protesters start hurling food. They start hurling food at

191
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: the ice agents of federal agents. On top of that,

192
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: you've got and we're not going to play any of this.

193
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to give these people any more attention

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: because that's what they're looking for. You've got people openly

195
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 2: calling for the assassination of federal agents. All that to say,

196
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: we don't need any more photo ops. We need action.

197
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,119
Speaker 2: And the president is backing far away from declaring an insurrection.

198
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: He's getting very bad advice. This thing is going to

199
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: go on, and it will go on for months and months,

200
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 2: and you know how things work. The American people, especially conservatives,

201
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: have short term memory, and they're gonna get tired of

202
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: all of this and they're gonna say we've got to stop,

203
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: and we can't stop. So I would much rather see

204
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: the administration flooding Minneapolis with thousands of soldiers restoring law

205
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: and order, putting down the anarchy, arresting the bad guys

206
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: so that the law abiding taxpayers of Minneapolis can go

207
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: about their lives. By the way, that's what happened here.

208
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: And thank I mean, when you compare us to Minneapolis,

209
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,239
Speaker 2: we're like, we're like heaven. I mean, this is amazing

210
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: what the Troop Surge has done for our community. Thank you,

211
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: Senator Brent Taylor. We appreciate that. All right, we've got

212
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: to take a quick break here again. We've got Joey

215
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: question because we've got to have a little bit of fun.

216
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: It is going to be it's really gonna be tough

217
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,600

00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: the big storm?

268
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,480

Speaker 5: Uh?

272
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: How does Lynn prepare for a major storm?

273
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: I picked up one or two things, but I usually

274
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 4: have extra stuff around the house. I'm more concerned about

275
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: keeping the cold there out out of the house.

276
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 5: Around the windows.

277
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: I've got some old towels to put on the windowsills,

278
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

279
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: Our friends over at the City of Bartlett suggested that

280
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: everybody pick one room which is going to be the

281
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: warm room, so in the event things, you know, in

282
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: the event the power does go out, you've got one

283
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: room that is really well insulated, and you know, you

284
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: got the blankets and all that kind of what. It's good.

285
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: It's good advice.

286
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: Actually, yes, sounds good to me.

287
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: All Right, we're going to try to help you win

288
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: a little prize here. We're talking about Billy Bob Thornton

289
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: did an interview, and he's a big fan of a

290
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: local Memphis clothing store that used to outfit Elvis. Who

291
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: are we talking about, Lynn, Lanski's. Yeah it is. It's

292
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: land Ski's, you know, I was. We were just down

293
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: there a couple of days ago, Helen and the guys,

294
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: we were all watching the Ducks march and we were

295
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: seated right in front of Lanski's and they were doing

296
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: some pretty good business.

297
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: Wow, that's amazing.

298
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, they're great guys. And as a matter of fact,

299
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: our good friend Caleb Park who left us to go

300
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: work for Newsmax, actually bought a couple of shirts from Lansky's.

301
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: He actually does bear a striking resemblance to Elvis, and

302
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: people would always do a double take exactly. Oh my goodness.

303
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: All right, Lynn, congratulations, we're going to hook you up

00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: our good buddy, Dean is on the line, Dean, Are

310
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: you getting ready? Are you getting ready? My friend?

311
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 6: I guess so. I've got a run of the shop.

312
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 6: I've got a generator there at the shop, and I'll

313
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 6: bring it home and probably anchor it down to the

314
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 6: back patio so nobody.

315
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: Takes it for something. Tells me if this is as

316
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: bad as they say, I don't think we're gonna have

317
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: to worry about any thug activity for the next seventy

318
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: two hours.

319
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 6: I wouldn't think so. And I did see one cool

320
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 6: piece of advice on Facebook, I guess it was yesterday,

321
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 6: saying that if the power does go out and is

322
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 6: as cold as it's going to be outside, just get

323
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 6: a cooler or something like that put your frozen stuff

324
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 6: in it instead of outside.

325
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: That is actually a brilliant an idea, and we're going

326
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: to try that here at KWin because we're going to

327
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: be here twenty four to seven and we'll be breaking

328
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: in at all sorts of odd hours. I love that idea.

329
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: By the way, our friend the Michiganders said, make your

330
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: coffee in advance and just put it in the refrigerator,

331
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: and that way, you know if the you know, if

332
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: if your power goes out, you'll still have coffee available,

333
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: which is it's good advice.

334
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 6: Actually, that does sound good. There is a there's a

335
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 6: supplies or over on Raleigh Raleigh Rally Lagrange called Eagle Sales.

336
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 6: They sell all types of electrical stuff and this, that

337
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 6: and the other. So they may have generators. But they

338
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 6: did post that they had like five pound bags of

339
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 6: rock salt stuff like that as well.

340
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: That's very good advice, Dean. I appreciate you passing that along. Uh,

341
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: we've got about fifteen seconds here. I saw your comments

342
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: about Senator Hagerty. He had a few factual errors in

343
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: that content, didn't me just.

344
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 6: A little, just a little bit. And I do want

345
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 6: to plug Lansky, but real quick because between me and

346
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 6: my wife, I've got a closet full of shirts and

347
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 6: a nice leather jacket, and Hal Lanski Jr. Is one

348
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 6: of the best best people we've got in Memphis.

349
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: One of the finest stores, and that's where I actually

350
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: they have on cloud shoes. I highly recommend them their

351
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: great tennis shoes. Yep, they're great. I got mine at Lanski's. Yes, sir, Dean,

352
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: that music means we got to scoot out of here.

353
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: You'd be safe, my friend. Let us know how things

354
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: are going in your neighborhood. All right, Hang tight, don't

355
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: go anywhere. We'll be right back. Everybody, all right, There

356
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: is a dense fog advisory in fact for the mid South,

357
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: not just for Democrats, it's for all of us. Yes,

358
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: there's there's litteral fog out there on the roadway.

359
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: Guys.

00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: a great deal on a car, I want to encourage

364
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 2: you to go check out my good buddy Todd Lockner.

365
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: He's going to get you set up with a great,

366
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: great deal. We're also taking your calls today and tomorrow.

367
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 2: A lot of folks looking for supplies. By the way,

368
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: just got this note that Germantown, the Germantown Hardware Store

369
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: has a full supply of sleds. So's if that's your jam.

370
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: If you want to go sledding down Poplar Avenue, well

371
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: you'll be able to get yourself a sled over there.

372
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike and Memphis talking about storm prep, Hi, Mike,

373
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: what's on your storm prep list?

374
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 7: Hey greetings, Todd. Yeah, for long term power out to

375
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 7: just remember your water towers use electricity to pump the

376
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 7: water into the tower. If they're without power for a

377
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 7: week and everybody's flushing commos every five minutes and running

378
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 7: water to keep from freezing pipes, the water's going to

379
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 7: run out. You'll have no water. So you need to

380
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 7: make sure that if you're planning ahead, fill your tubs,

381
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 7: do not drain your water heater. You'll need it because

382
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 7: you're going to need water to drink and water to

383
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 7: flush with, and you might want to conserve by consolidating

384
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 7: as much as you can before you flush. Those are

385
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 7: your big water consumption items right there that you need

386
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 7: to prepare for Mike.

387
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: That that's actually that's really good advice. You know. The

388
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: other thing, grab yourself some gallon jug so if after

389
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: you finish your Milo's Sweet Tea, don't throw away the jug,

390
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: wash it out, fill it up with water, and put

391
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: it in the freezer as well, so at least it'll

392
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: stay cold. And when the power goes out, that should

393
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: also help preserve some of the food there, at least

394
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: for a little while.

395
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 7: My garage is packed with milos. Empty jags will not

396
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 7: empty now they're full of water. But yeah, you got

397
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 7: the right idea, you know.

398
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: It's and look, I know people are going to be

399
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: really angry at MLGW when the lights go out. But

400
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: if we really do get anything over a I mean

401
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: a quarter inch of ice, it's going to bring down

402
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 2: power lines. I mean, that's just the reality of it.

403
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: And it's gonna take, folks, it's gonna take those alignment

404
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: a little while to get out there and get all

405
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: that work done.

406
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 7: And make friends with your neighbors who have generators and

407
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 7: pools because you're going to probably need a power line

408
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 7: in some water to keep that commode going.

409
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: That is great advice. So all you folks in East Memphis,

410
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: you better get to know Dean Franklin very well. He's

411
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: got a generator. Mike, are you It sounds like you're

412
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: all set and you're prepared, ready to go.

413
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 8: Yeah.

414
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 7: I've been working on this for a long time. I'm

415
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 7: native Memphi and so when the ice storm hits, I'm

416
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 7: helping others because we're ready to roll.

417
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: I love it. You'll have to give us a call

418
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: on the National Show today. That's it's great advice. And

419
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: over one hundred million people in the nation are going

420
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 2: to be under some sort of a winter storm warning,

421
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: and most of them are like us, We don't have

422
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: to deal with this on a regular basis. So it's

423
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: this is sort of new territory, you know, when unless

424
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: folks have been around since what was it ninety three,

425
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: ninety four, when the last big ice storm hits somewhere

426
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: around that time.

427
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've had a few. I mean, I remember back

428
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 7: in ninety eight when we had about fourteen inches of

429
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 7: snow and I was just a kid tunneling through the stuff.

430
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 7: But you know, we may do and you learn from

431
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 7: those experiences how to prepare so the next time it happens,

432
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 7: you're not in a bind.

433
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Mike, appreciate the call. You'd be safe.

434
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: Give us a call back tomorrow, let us know how

435
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: things are going. Let's go to Bobby and Nashville. Who

00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: we just love meeting all of our great friends out

464
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: there that listen to the station again, our telephone number

465
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

466
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.

467
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: I want to go back to an interview that we

468
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: did last night with the mayor of Knox County. That

469
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 2: would be Glenn Jacobs, who's been doing a lot of

470
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: He's been doing a lot of traveling, spending a lot

471
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: of time here in West Tennessee. A lot of folks

472
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: suspect he may actually be Marshall Blackburn's replacement in the

473
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: US Senate. So Glenn was on my NEWSMAC show last night.

474
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: We covered a lot of ground, especially the situation there

475
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis and what's happening here in the volunteer state.

476
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 2: Let's take a lesson. Good to see you, mister Mayer.

477
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: You know, this is just really breathtaking to see the

478
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 2: magnitude of the coming out out of Minnesota.

479
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Your reaction, well, thanks for having me on Todd. First

480
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: of all, to me, it's not really a surprise. I mean,

481
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: this is, unfortunately just how the system works. When we

482
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: think about immigration, one of the most important aspects of

483
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: that is the welfare system. And you know, this magnet

484
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: that attracts people who are just you know, want to

485
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: live off the system and want to live off of,

486
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: as mister Shirley said, the efforts of hard working Americans.

487
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: So it's terrible, but it should really come as a

488
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: surprise anyway, because unfortunately all welfare systems, this is where

489
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: they tend to go, you know, with the fraud and

490
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: just the fact that it ends up becoming so large

491
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: and becoming such a massive percentage of budgets overall, that

492
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: these frauds sometimes just becomes almost arounding there in that

493
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: that's unacceptable obviously, but nevertheless that's the case.

494
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: You know, I'm curious because this is an issue that's

495
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 2: impacting just about every state in the nation, the number

496
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: of illegals, and especially the numbers that were flown into

497
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: Tennessee in the dark of night during the last administration.

498
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: You've got a state representative right out of the national

499
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: area calling ICE agents KKK and comparing them to some

500
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: of the most awful people. How big of a deal

501
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: is that in the volunteer.

502
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: State, Well, I think we do a good job here.

503
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: We've been at two eight seven g County, which means

504
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: that our law enforcement county is deputized by ICE. So

505
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: when someone is picked up, they are allowed to check

506
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: the immigration status and if they are a legal immigrants,

507
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: they are held for processing by ICE. In many cases

508
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: then you find that there are more charges. And we've

509
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: also had a couple incidents where illegal immigrants have been

510
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: driving without a license, without insurance and involved in accidents.

511
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: People have died as a result of that. So that's

512
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: problem as well. But ours has been working at the

513
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: White House on comprehensive immigration reform. We're the first state

514
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: in the nation to do that, so we take it

515
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: very seriously here.

516
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 2: Back to back to Minnesota for just a moment. When

517
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: you look at what's happening in Minneapolis, where the mayor

518
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: of that of that city, a major American city, telling

519
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: people basically to get in the faces of ICE agents

520
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: to to try to somehow sabotage their efforts. I'm just curious.

521
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: You're you're a lawmaker, your reaction to what's happening there

522
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: in Minnesota with elected leadership, it's.

523
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: Really foreign to me. These sort of things don't happen

524
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: in East Tennessee. So when I watch TV and I

525
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: see this, and is this America that I'm looking at?

526
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: But it just shows you that state and local government

527
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: really do matter, you know, And I feel horrible for

528
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: many of the people in Minneapolis and Minnesota because this

529
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: is going on, you know. But at the same time,

530
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is in many cases almost what you

531
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: voted for when you put people in power like that,

532
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: and we just don't have that here in East Tennessee,

533
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: where we just wouldn't tolerate it. Our people here wouldn't

534
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: tolerate it. So it's incredibly unfortunate. But again for me,

535
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: it's almost alien because I could never envision anything like

536
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: that Sheriff's maangler here. There's no way that that would

537
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: happen in Knox County. Uh So that's it's really a

538
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: testament to good local leadership. And for the rest of

539
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: the country, you know, you should be looking at your

540
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: state and local leadership and thinking yourselves, you know, are

541
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: these the people that we want running things? Because when

542
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: you have the wrong people in positions of authority, this

543
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: is what you get.

544
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: Well, and I have to imagine a Knox County. You

545
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't have folks merging into church services and disrupting Sunday worship.

546
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, absolutely not, And that was just you know,

547
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: these people obviously they're just they're professional agitators. They get

548
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: outraged at everything. You know, as you said, you look

549
00:29:55,040 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: what happened under the Obama administration. Now Trump is doing,

550
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, basically the same thing, even not to that

551
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: same extent. Now all of a sudden, you're bad or

552
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: evil because it's Trump, you know, And that's what it

553
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: all comes down to. I hate Republicans. I hate Donald Trump.

554
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Therefore I can infringe on Silman's right to go to

555
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: a church service and to feel safe and to worship

556
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: the Lord in a peaceful way. Just completely unacceptable. And

557
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: those people should be ashamed of themselves. So they won't be,

558
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: but they should be ashamed of themselves for doing that.

559
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 2: All right, if we're talking about Ben Dieter in the break,

560
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: you can't help but smile when you talk about Peter

561
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: Daniel Irwin joining us from the Better Business Bureau. Daniel,

562
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: hope you're doing well. I am.

563
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: I am.

564
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 9: It's kind of cold, but I'm doing okay.

565
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: A smidge, A smidge. I want to go, Daniel, We're

566
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna hang time for a second. I want

567
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: to bring in Joey Solipek, who may or may not

568
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: be wearing a cape, Joey, your social media is starting

569
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: to scare me a little bit.

570
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 8: Well, the good news is in this cave keeps you warm.

571
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 8: When when those temperatures drop.

572
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: Fair enough, you are man, you're crushing it. I mean,

573
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: you're all over the place, and I think a lot.

574
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: I've got to brag on you for a moment. I

575
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: can't name the large city here in Shelby County, but

576
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: I was talking to somebody that was a part of

577
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: their emergency planning and I said, hey, what's the latest.

578
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: You know, what are you guys hearing And they said,

579
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: follow Joey Solipek's Facebook page.

580
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 8: Well that's a huge compliment, very very kind.

581
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: I'll tell you off air.

582
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 8: Okay, that's that's good. That's good. So yeah, this is

583
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 8: still looking like a mess. Todd, not much has changed.

584
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 8: And I'll tell you, if we're going to speak in

585
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 8: broad generalities, I think the heaviest snow expectation starting late Friday,

586
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 8: really more on the Saturday, is going to be north

587
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 8: of Memphis. Unfortunately, I still think freezing rain or sleep

588
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 8: is going to be a huge component, and that looks

589
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 8: pretty strong for North Mississippi. But let's go to that

590
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 8: middle line where Memphis is and the surrounding areas. Everything

591
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 8: is in play, but I'm still tilting towards ice being

592
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 8: a bigger impact, and I wish that wasn't the case,

593
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 8: and I will tell you that I want to be wrong,

594
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 8: but right now that's what I still see headed our

595
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 8: way throughout the day Saturday.

596
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: All right, So now is the time to get ready,

597
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: and it certainly looks like a lot of people are

598
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: already starting to do that. Joey.

599
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I've had people call me and say

600
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 8: they went into Kroger and there wasn't even any cellery left.

601
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 8: And I don't know why you need celery for a

602
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 8: snow or ice.

603
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: It is going to be apocalypse.

604
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, the shell the shelves are bare. But I will

605
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 8: say this, Listen, I'm a I'm a fan of prepare

606
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 8: for the worst and hope for the best. Got a

607
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 8: lot We've had a lot of advanced knowledge on this

608
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 8: one that something is headed our way. It is going

609
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 8: to be dangerously cold starting Saturday into the next like

610
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 8: three to four days. And if ice is a component

611
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 8: and some of us happen to lose power, that's going

612
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 8: to be an issue. So you know, if this thing

613
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 8: were to fall apart, I'd be thrilled because then everybody

614
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 8: would be safe and warm. But like you just said,

615
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 8: it's best now just to make some decisions, just in

616
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 8: case you get stuck and it's cold.

617
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: Joey, we've got to we've got to pivot over to

618
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: Daniel Irwin, who's going to give us some tips on

619
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: making sure we don't get ripped off, you know, with

620
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: with contractors coming in. We're going to check in with

621
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: you again tomorrow and again we are going to have

622
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: kwan manned twenty four to seven during the storm and

623
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: the aftermath. So folks, you're gonna have a lifeline. You

624
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: want to talk to somebody on the radio, You're gonna

625
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: be able to do that. Joey, we really appreciate the

626
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: great work you're doing. I tell you you are a

627
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: lifeline for many, many people here in the city.

628
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 8: Thanks Todd Love Kaywiam.

629
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: All right, Joey Solipek our resident superhero. And if you

630
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: haven't seen a social media page, you got it. He

631
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: makes a great hero. What can you what can you say? Uh,

632
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: Daniel Erwin, A lot of people are going to be

633
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: trying to take advantage of homeowners over the next seventy

634
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: two hours.

635
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 9: Yes, and it's a good idea now to start thinking

636
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 9: about you know, like you said, you know, we were

637
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 9: prepared for the worst. We hope for the best. Well,

638
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 9: the worst can mean ice and that can mean repairs.

639
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 9: That can mean you know, falling tree limbs and stuff.

640
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 9: So go ahead and now and think about who you

641
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 9: might call if you need something done. Don't wait till

642
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 9: the last minute, because after a storm, we see what

643
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 9: we call storm chasers. Those are less than reputive people

644
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 9: that show up at your door saying that they can

645
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 9: do repairs, usually for a lower cost, or they may

646
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 9: say they're already doing repairs at your neighbor's house. But

647
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 9: typically after a major storm we see people that come

648
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 9: down from like Kentucky or places like that. And the

649
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 9: problem is is not all of them are bad, but

650
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 9: a lot of them won't be here after you know

651
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 9: they've done the repair, so something goes wrong, you've got

652
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 9: no recourse.

653
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: So if they're from out of town, I would automatically

654
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: be suspect. And yeah, nothing personal, but I think this

655
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: is where you really do want somebody local to be

656
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: fixed and what's broken.

657
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 9: Right, and especially if you're a Memphis because home improvement

658
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 9: licensing can be very, very tricky because it in Tennessee

659
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 9: it varies county to county. Now in Shelby County, jobs

660
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 9: under twenty five thousand dollars don't require a license. That's

661
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 9: a handyman or someone like that, so anybody can do that.

662
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 9: Jobs twenty five thousand dollars excuse me. Jobs up to

663
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 9: three thousand dollars require no license, that's a handyman. Jobs

664
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 9: three thousand dollars to twenty five thousand dollars require what's

665
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 9: called a home improvement license, and then anything after twenty

666
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 9: five thousand dollars requires a general contactor's license. I think

667
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 9: there's a misconception that there's some type of competency license

668
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 9: for a tree charmer, but there's not. So you've got

669
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 9: to be really, really careful. When you're picking someone to

670
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 9: do the repairs on your house. You want to make

671
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 9: sure they're licensed because that means that someone has checked

672
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 9: their insurance right. But when you come to tree tremors,

673
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 9: which might come into play here if we have a

674
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 9: lot of ice, be very very weary if someone that

675
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 9: just shows up your door with a chainsaw, because there

676
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 9: is no competency license in the state of Tennessee for

677
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 9: a tree trimmer, and you know you're responsible for your tree.

678
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 9: So if that person gives you a great deal, that's great.

679
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 9: But if they don't know what they're doing and they

680
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 9: lop off a limb in incorrect way and something falls

681
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 9: on your neighbor's house or falls on your house, you're

682
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 9: liable for that. And if you didn't use you know,

683
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 9: a proper person, right or someone that's that's local, you know,

684
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 9: your insurance company might not cover that claim. So you

685
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 9: just have to be very careful who you use and

686
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 9: make sure you vet them.

687
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: This is all great common sense advice, and so it's

688
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: hard because when you're in the throes of oh my gosh,

689
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 2: I have a hole in my roof for you know,

690
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: the the water pipes have busted, you really freak out

691
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: and you don't you're not thinking clearly. So that's why

692
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: you need to have a plan going into all of that, right.

693
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 9: And remember, reputable contractors are going to be booked out

694
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 9: and they're going to be busy after a major storm,

695
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 9: So just be really very weary of anybody that just

696
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 9: shows up unannounced and wants to give you a discount

697
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 9: and then also, the other thing we talk about is,

698
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 9: you know, you have to do what's better for you

699
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 9: and your house. And there's a lot of people after

700
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 9: a storm that may not be skilled, but they genuinely

701
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 9: want to help.

702
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 8: Right.

703
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 9: Maybe it's a neighbor that wants to climb on and

704
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 9: cut a limb off your tree or something, right, and

705
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 9: that's great. We know that people want to help, but

706
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 9: that may not be the safest or the best thing,

707
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 9: because again you have to think about, you know, does

708
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 9: this person know what they're doing. Just because they want

709
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 9: to help me out in a buying doesn't mean that

710
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 9: they're qualified to trim my tree, or doesn't mean they're

711
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 9: qualified to do that repair, right, And that could kind

712
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 9: of come into play later when you're talking about insurance claims.

713
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: And one of the things we're going to be doing

714
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: starting tomorrow, we have assembled our team of experts on roofing, plumbing, generators,

715
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 2: you name, electricity. We're going to have those people here

716
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: taking your calls tomorrow on the Morning Show. So if

717
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: you've got questions about Okay, should I run, should I

718
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: run hot water, cold water? Should I drip? Should I

719
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: let it be a string? We're gonna answer all those

720
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: questions for you tomorrow. And again these are well ved

721
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: a reputable people that are from locally owned companies because

722
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: so they have a vested interest right here and what's

723
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: happening in the mid South.

724
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know, like I said, get your that's

725
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 9: a great idea. That's great because you know, I think

726
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 9: nowadays two so many people get their information from social media,

727
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 9: right from from a meme or from a post, and

728
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 9: that may not be the best information either, right, you

729
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 9: know that's not vetted. So make sure you're getting your

730
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 9: advice and your repairs done from a licensed professional.

731
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: All right, Daniel, Where can people grow If they want

732
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: to get information they can they can reach out to

Speaker 9: Please do again, don't wait till after the storm to

00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 9: know who you'll hire. Go to BBB dot org. You
