15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Mister Plant, we joke because at any day you're going

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: to be on the radio with us. Nick gets out

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: of his news quick. He usually would still be meandering

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: with the market in traffic. It's up till about six

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: oh eight. But when Chris Plant's going to be here,

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Oh it's Chris Plant. It's Chris Plant. It's Chris Plant.

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: He's out at six o four thirty. How are you

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: a PLL?

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: I couldn't be better? You know we? What do we have?

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: We're a little bit warmer here than than you are

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: in Chicago. Yeah, and that's always the case. But the

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: damn Canadians keep sending this cold stuff down to us.

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: And and I want to know for how long are

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: we going to put up with this?

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: You know what? And now with the with the way

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: these Canadians are working with the Emperor of China and

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: bringing in all these EV's, I wonder how long it's

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: going to take till we smell them burning EV's in

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: that yucky plastic they have. But I digress. Hey, I

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: want to ask you, did you happen to hear this

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: the other day? I want to make sure I still

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: have this. I think he might have the time might

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: have taken it out of the system. Did you see, Chris,

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: where people in Minneapolis that identify as protesters, we're going

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: in and stopping people in vehicles that they thought looked

40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: like ice vehicleslicensed plates that they ran through their database

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and they said, hey, you know what, your car comes

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: up as ice. We want to know what you're doing here.

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: And these these narrat Wells actually detained Uber drivers they

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: were just waiting to pick up.

45
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: A fare well. You know, it's the black SQV uber

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: drivers that are in real trouble, as Hinder sent it,

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 4: because they think the black SUVs look like government vehicles,

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: and they're going to shut down the government vehicles. And

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: it's very third world. The Democrat Party has become a

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: third world. They're kind of a mobile b pole country

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: of themselves because they're the left, and they're completely intending.

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: You're right, these chick points that they set up and

53
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: blocking streets, which isn't that what Renee Good did. Blocked

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: the street with her vehicle and she was that she

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 4: was part sideways in the middle of the road, and

56
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: they asked her to get out of her vehicle, and

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: then she tried to run over a place officer. The

58
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: left gloves a body count.

59
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: You know, you know, and I listened to this guy

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: from time to time and he always says, if these

61
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: leftist lunatics and these Democrats didn't have double standards, they

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: didn't they wouldn't have any at all. And you're absolutely right.

63
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: What a great point you make there, because they did

64
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: the same thing, and it was, you know, in moments after,

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: we're like, look at everything that just happened in Minneapolis.

66
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: You've got people on the supposed left holding guns, taking

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: up arms, and then all of a sudden, white lives

68
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: matter again. It really was nuts.

69
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: Well. And of course the other hero, Alex Pretty, who

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: was also shot and killed. And then we saw him

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: eleven days earlier, attacking the place and spitting in their

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: faces through the windows of their vehicles and kicking the

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: tail light out, and he's packing heat and he's got

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: an extra magazine in case the gunfight rolls on and on,

75
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: and he's out there and he's the hero of the

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: Democrat story, of course, But he was attacking two proud

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: Latino men to Latin X men, and he's a white

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: guy with white privilege who is violently attacking and spitting

79
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: in the faces of two Latino federal agents. And it's

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: funny how the media and the Democrat Party doesn't seize

81
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: on that, since they love to call everybody a racist

82
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 4: and all that kind of stuff, and they had their own,

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 4: their white supremacist out there spitting in the faces of

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: Latino federal agents and and kicking their tail out of

85
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: and then beating them like a crazy person when the

86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: when the law enforcement got out of their vehicle, and

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: and all of that is fine because you know, it's

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: the Democrat Party, it's the lefty side. So the media

89
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: doesn't go after the Democrats, don't go after They're not

90
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 4: calling them racist, they're not calling them all the things

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: that they normally call everybody, because you know double standards,

92
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: do you.

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: It's amazing. We just came through the weekend where we

94
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: saw Malania Do Okay as a documentary film. Right, nobody's

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: talking about that now. I guess it's earned somewhere around

96
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars, which had the strongest opening weekend of

97
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: a documentary film ever. And listen, I don't have to

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: promote Trump's or They're film or whatever. And I'm you know,

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll see it or not. I

100
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: know my girl Gina would love to. But isn't it

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: something how every immigrant is okay, everybody is is welcome here,

102
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: and you're okay unless it's Malania Trump? Because I know

103
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: she's she's from somewhere else, she speaks six different languages.

104
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: But boy, they sure seem to hate her as an immigrant,

105
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: don't they.

106
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: They most certainly do it, so it's resentment. Mostly she's

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: she's clean and intelligent, and that confuses particularly liberal women

108
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: she's clean.

109
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: Those dirty damn Democrats think it our.

110
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, and they look at her and they think that

111
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: she's from under their planet or something, because you know,

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: they're they're morbidly obvious. Daughters are out in the protest

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: line somewhere, throwing things at Central agents and kind of hoping.

114
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: I think that they're going to get shot, don't They

115
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: kind of hope they're going to get shot. This death

116
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: wish all over the place because they and they, you know,

117
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: remember the chop Zone in Seattle and they had a

118
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: body count there that kid had just graduated from high

119
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: school and he was murdered their gun down there and

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 4: another adult and they were they're all black by the way,

121
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: that we're gone down in the chop Zone in Seattle.

122
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: But never mind that. And and now, uh, we've got

123
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: a body count in in Minnesota, in Minneapolis, and you

124
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: know Mini Dishu as that got it's minnidh you know,

125
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: because I got you and you got your Mogadishu Minnesota

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 4: thing going there. And and the Democrats are just always

127
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: on the wrong side of everything. In fact, I was

128
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 4: just looking this morning. You see this, uh mayor Zo

129
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: Ron Momdanni in New York went to the hospital to

130
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: visit and held a press conference in support of a

131
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: guy that attacked a cop in an apartment in New

132
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: York with a knife. Is attacked him with a knife,

133
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: and the cop had to shoot the guy to defend himself.

134
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: And the mayor is in there in the hospital room, uh,

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 4: petting and posing with the guy that attacked the cop

136
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: with the knife. Not the cop. We had an attack

137
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: with the knife.

138
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: We all living in stupid times. I mean Minneapolis Saint

139
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: Paul right now, and mostly just a couple of neighborhoods

140
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis are taken over by lunatics and the cops

141
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: don't even want to do anything about it, you know you,

142
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: And it is absolutely amazing. Now I do want to

143
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: ask this of you, Chris, because I know you you

144
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: have insight to this kind of stuff. But supposedly Christine

145
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: om and Trump were putting together an armada, if you will,

146
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: to go to Springfield, Ohio and work on some of

147
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: this Haitian population. And a judge has kind of, you know,

148
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: put a stay on that for now. And I just

149
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: wonder if I'm a Haitian dude, and and and this

150
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: is no affront to Haitian women. But if I'm a

151
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Haitian dude and I know that Christinome is coming to

152
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, I'm going to She's coming on a horse.

153
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I tell you what. I'm gonna let her arrest me,

154
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: throw me over the back of that pony, cuff me,

155
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: pay me twelve hundred bucks, and I don't you Marlago

156
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: face or not. I love you. Drive me off on

157
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: that pony.

158
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: I you know, I've got to tell you the Haitian

159
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: thing that whether they've got a Biden judge, you said

160
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: out you can't. There's temporary protected statisfations, which I think

161
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: started thirty years ago. I remember the Clintons went to

162
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: Haiti and they fixed Haiti. Remember that. Now it's been

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: taken over by Cannibal's or something. Remember barbecue we had.

164
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: Barbecue is a big cannibal gang leader.

165
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't that uncle. Wasn't that Joe Biden's was

166
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: his uncle or something?

167
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? Poplaad New Guinea? Yeah uncle, what was his name?

168
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Uncle? Yeah?

169
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right, that's right, and uh New Guinea. No,

170
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: he wasn't. He wasn't even there. But it's a normal

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: Joe Biden's story. Oh, speaking of which, you saw doctor

172
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: Jill Biden, doctor Joe Biden in the news. Boy, she

00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: has an ex husband, right, and her ex husband has

174
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: been arrested for murdering his I let yesterday the headline said,

175
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: for murdering his current wife. Yeah, I'm like, I don't

176
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: think she's his current wife, you know, I'd like to

177
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: think they're not still engaging in marital act. He's he's murdered.

178
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: You never know, You never know, Chris. Yeah, boy, that's

179
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: a I'm looking at this dude right now. Yeah, William Stevenson.

180
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: He looks like he still bears the scars. Are very

181
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: married to doctor Jill obviously, obviously this guy with some

182
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: serious mental issues.

183
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 4: They had a got a got a new wife. Oh,

184
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: everything's okay again, thank got any then he murders the wife,

185
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: and I did. I just like the headline saying murdered

186
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 4: his current wife. And and there's a timeline issue with

187
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: the semantics of that.

188
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to think. It's like they're colons, Chris. They

189
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: love their colons.

190
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: They honestly that you know, the English language is really

191
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: not their thing, is it.

192
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: I can't take it anymore? All right, buddy, we will

193
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: hear you after a nine o'clock this morning, Nick, is

194
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: there anything you'd like to say in part? I love you, Chris,

195
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: I love you back. Ye. He's usually gay for ray,

196
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: but not in this instance. So there I am. I'm

197
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: coming down Route sixty four, just east of the two

198
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: Page County Airport, going along at a pretty good pace

199
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to get packed to her eleven twenty

200
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,479
Speaker 1: doctor's appointment over at the Northwestern Medical Center in Bloomingdale,

201
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: just off Gary Avenue. Load her up right. I see

202
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: the car sitting off there to the side and the

203
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: son of a gun. I know I'm going over the

204
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: postage speed limit. And as I'm navigating through the way

205
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: in the nifty two to fifty, I pull over to

206
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: the right lane because I see said officer pull out

207
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I know what he's gonna do. And

208
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I said, Pat, I think I'm gonna get stopped. She goes, well,

209
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: tell the police officer I have to go to the bathroom.

210
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Like Mom, we don't have to make up any stories.

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: We'll be on our way in no time. So I'm

212
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: in West Chicago because I look back at the at

213
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: the at the unit and I say a nice unit.

214
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: I say, could this be one of Sheriff mendricks posse?

215
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: And he walks up to the car, the young man,

216
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: nice young guy. He's got the West Chicago Star on

217
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: and I didn't even have time to say westcotgo in

218
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: high school all the time. He goes, I go see

219
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: your license and I go, hey man, I go, I

220
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: know I'm cruising, but I'm taking pat to to the

221
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: urgent care. She's got to get an MRI for a

222
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: little stumble. She had no problem. Just let me see

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: your license and your registration and insurance card. Give it

224
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: to him and he's almost like sad, nice guy, good lucking,

225
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: tight haircut, everything you want your officer to be right.

226
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: And he goes back and he's like, here you go,

227
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: just slow it down a little bit. And I, well,

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: that's it, you know when I ask how my day's going.

229
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: And I caught a tinge of sadness in that stop.

230
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: And here's why I don't get that fluttering feeling in

231
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: my chest like I used to when I'd get stopped

232
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 1: by police, because I've been through this before. Him a

233
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: little bit older, now, I know. Okay, so if I

234
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: get a ticket, big deal. You know you screwed up,

235
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: you pulled over, haven't had a ticket in a long time.

236
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: You know what, do they still give out those good

237
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: drivers certificates when you don't get a ticket for like

238
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: four years? Because for me, that's a big deal. I

239
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: don't think so anym. And I just thought, Okay, that's it.

240
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I have a good day, walks back

241
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: to his car, and I I thought, okay, well, you

242
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: know what it is. That's my white privilege. I got

243
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: pulled over and I'm white, So they didn't shoot me, right, No,

244
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: I had my hands on my wheel. I was ready

245
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: to go. I knew that I'd done wrong, and I

246
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: was ready to face whatever consequences it was. But I

247
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: felt like the guy was actually almost sad, if that

248
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: makes any sense. I mean, you know, confident guy. I

249
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I think he's just I

250
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: think in this instance, I think this guy didn't even

251
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: want to have to deal with the general public based

252
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: on what we do to law enforcement. And isn't that

253
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of I mean, don't get me wrong. I didn't

254
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: want him to treat me like a you know, take

255
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: me out and hit me with his billy club. But

256
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: it was just It was sad in a way, and

257
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give a little nod because he

258
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: was very professional, and you know, I'm sure he could

259
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: have written ticket. I probably was going ten, eleven, twelve over,

260
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: not really sure. That's my bad. It's my bad because

261
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I always say, man, if you've got me on radar

262
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: going sixty seven, let me go back and get another run,

263
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: because I can do better than that.

264
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: Right.

265
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: But it was just interesting and I think it's kind

266
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: of telltale of what our law enforcement goes through. Now,

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: as you've been reporting in your Newsnick, the government shutdown

268
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: has been averted, but there's a special two weeks stay,

269
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: if you will, for the funding that surrounds police, homeland security,

270
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: and it doesn't necessarily revolve around local or county or

271
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: state police. But make no mistake that what they're doing

272
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: here with trying to defund federal and ice officers is

273
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: going to have a result in how they fund police.

274
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: You look at what's going on in Minneapolis and its

275
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: condition response. Right, it's in response to what we've heard

276
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: over and over again pre George Floyd, during George Floyd,

277
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: and now with this defund police movement that the Democrats

278
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: want to do right and they have a job to do,

279
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: and I was in the wrong yesterday. I see that

280
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: that's the difference. I wasn't gonna get mad for the stop.

281
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: I know I was going fast. I pulled over and

282
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: they don't get me wrong. I don't mean to like

283
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: in that to somebody that's here illegally, and you know,

284
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to dumb it down. But the fact

285
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: of the matter is we have rules that we're supposed

286
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: to follow. And should I have gotten a ticket yesterday,

287
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: well guess what that's that's part of the rules and

288
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: laws that we have. But do I pay the ticket anymore?

289
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Because who is he to stop me? Right?

290
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 5: You were going to say, well, I'm just last night,

291
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: I'm watching TV before Bad and there's this this commercials

292
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 5: that keep coming on talking about how ice out, defund ice,

293
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 5: defund ice, And I posed the question on Facebook last

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: nightcause I'm kind of getting fed up with this, and

295
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: I'm like, isn't the call to defund ice the same

296
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 5: as defunding police. They're all law enforcement agents. We've been

297
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: down that road thought we've had made a turn, and

298
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 5: people realize, well, now defunding the police is a stupid idea.

299
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 5: But here we are again. You want to defund another agency.

300
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Most people were supportive, but a friend of a person

301
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: I consider a long time friend says, you support the

302
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Nazis question mark. Yeah, it's a stupid I'm done with you.

303
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: Whenever you bring up Nazis, you've lost the debate. If

304
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: you compare anything to Nazis, you've lost the debate. That's

305
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: why I have taken to and I've done this for

306
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: a long time. And I started doing this man bat.

307
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: I think what it was called, what was it, spacebook

308
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, but at the inceptions, at the

309
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: inception of my face or whatever the hell they called it,

310
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: I would do what I called on friend Tuesday, and

311
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: if you pissed me off at eighty time during the week, boom,

312
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you're gone. Because it's just it's absolutely dumb the way

313
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: people refer to each other. And don't spend all your

314
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: time talking about this nonsense either. How do you want

315
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: to live? You want to live in a country that

316
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: has no law enforcement? I'll tell you what. A little

317
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: kudo to the Kankakee County Sheriff's Department yesterday. Oh they

318
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: were quickly, did they not move that? Yeah? Very fast

319
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: with the with the young lady that was abducted in

320
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: her bar killed. And I'm pulling up the story here, Nick.

321
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I know you had a beautiful, beautiful woman, she leaves

322
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: behind a child, she was just going to open up

323
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: her bar, young entrepreneur, and somebody thought that her life

324
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: didn't matter. And if that's the world you want to

325
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: live in, well, then we need to make a divide

326
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: in the United States where you that faction of society

327
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: can live because it can't be among people that are

328
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: law and order of abiding citizen. Doesn't mean you can't

329
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: get a little out of hand every now and then,

330
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: but you can't live like a dumb ass, which we

331
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: certainly have seemed to conquer around here, especially in this

332
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: sanctuary city and the sanctuary state, which needs to end.

333
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: And then you've got, you know, some of these big

334
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: time political operatives within the Democrat Party saying that JB.

335
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Pritzker should be the guy JB think about that jv

336
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Ritzker should be the guy that runs for the president.

337
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Look what he's done to Illinoy. You've got to be

338
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: kidding me. I just don't get it. I want to

339
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: talk this morning at the six fifty about this a

340
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Patriots. Drake may This, this is a

341
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: good kid. We're going to talk about Billie Eilish the

342
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Topanga tribe, wasn't she on Boy Meet's World? Topanga? Now

343
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: it's not pronounced the Topanga tribe, but that's what we're

344
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: calling it here, and you know why, because we can.

345
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: But there's some indigenous people, some Native Americans, some Indians

346
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: that are not too happy with her. Yeah, they are

347
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: not happy with what she said. And they're saying, put

348
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: your money where your mouth is, or as a song says,

349
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: put your money where your mother blank in mouth is.

350
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: Twenty one Republicans break with Trump and Speaker Johnson on

351
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: this spending bill. It's a one point two trillion dollar

352
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: spending bill. And the reason they did so, I'm sure

353
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Schmells from Fox News Radio has the answer for Ryan.

354
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back to WLS, my friend, Good morning.

355
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 6: Hey, what's going on right? How are you go?

356
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. So I'm told that these twenty one

357
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: gopers that broke ranks with Trump are not happy about

358
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: the voter ID provision that they want built in so

359
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: we can have a tighter election security around here. But

360
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Trump came back and said, listen, this is wonkey. It's

361
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: too much to fight right now. We've got to fund

362
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: the government and we've kind of kicked the can down

363
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: the road for two weeks. When it comes to this

364
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: defund homeland security, can you kind of put a bow

365
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: on that for me?

366
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean yes, the lack of the Save Act

367
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 6: and lack of the voter ID laws played into this.

368
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 6: But you know, there were always going to be Republicans

369
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 6: voted no just because the overall spending levels are quite

370
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 6: we're quite high, and they were going to be Republicans

371
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 6: who voted no because of ear marks and things like that.

372
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 6: So there are other other factors that played into this.

373
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 6: Not justice to I mean, to stay EAC would have

374
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 6: probably helped a lot of them get onto Yes, but

375
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 6: you know, you may have lost some of the Democrats

376
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 6: who go to guests along the way. But I mean, yes,

377
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 6: yesterday's vote it was a lot more narrow than I

378
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 6: think anybody wanted it to be, where it just was

379
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 6: a few votes separating the thing from passing and not passing.

380
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 6: So yeah, what was your next part of the question

381
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 6: where we go there?

382
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: No? Yeah, and then so where does this end up now?

383
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: You look down the road two weeks and now we're

384
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: going to have to start talking about funding, because I

385
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: think that's what we have. We have two weeks until

386
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: funding for a Department of Homeland Security and ICE runs out.

387
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: At least that's what I'm told by my people there

388
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. So that has to be attended to.

389
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: And I don't know what that's going to look like

390
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: at the end of those two weeks.

391
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, No, It's definitely an interesting situation for both sides,

392
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 6: and that's why you've seen leadership on the Senate side

393
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: for the Republicans pretty would say there's no way we

394
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 6: can get this done in two weeks.

395
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 7: Now.

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 6: Keep mind, Chuck Schumer and President Trump negotiated the solution

397
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: to get this government shot down over with, and they

398
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 6: did it in a relatively quick pace. You know, don't

399
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 6: allowed them still having conversations and continuing to talk. I

400
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 6: think the interesting thing we had to watch for is,

401
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 6: you know, how is the House Democratic Caucus going to

402
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 6: shape up compared to the Senate Democratic Caucus. What are

403
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 6: both SAIDs going to be willing to say yes to?

404
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: Is this going to put Chuck Schumer in a tough

405
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: situation if he negotiates something it doesn't go far enough

406
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 6: for left wing of the party. And of course, you

407
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 6: know what what's this going to look like for Leader

408
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 6: Thun and Speaker Johnson when it comes to negotiating something

409
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 6: that can get everyone to yes. And of course President

410
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 6: Trump will certainly play into this too. But you know,

411
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: there's a lot of things to watch for and in

412
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 6: a very short amount of time to work with.

413
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: You know, you we talked about the twenty one Republicans

414
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: that broke with Trump. Make no mistake, things aren't all

415
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: rosy on the on the left either on the Democrat side,

416
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: because Hakeem Jefferies was not you know, they didn't all

417
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: agree with him yesterday either.

418
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 6: Well, I mean there were the amount of Democrats who

419
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 6: voted to know you yesterday, it was quite quite surreal.

420
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 6: I mean, this is negotiated by Chuck Schumer and and

421
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 6: and President Trump, and you had every single top member

422
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 6: of Democratic leadership on the House side vote no. The

423
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 6: Big four all voted no. Nancy Pelosi also voted. Note

424
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: this was a this was a rough vote yesterday, And

425
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 6: and and certainly the questions are going to be, you know,

426
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 6: are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries on the same page,

427
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 6: same page. They've pushed back on that argument when we

428
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 6: pressed them about it. But you know we we we

429
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 6: hear things. We hear rumblings and different things like that.

430
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 6: And of course tell me about.

431
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: These rumblings you hear. Is this things you hear in

432
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: your mind? Or is this things that are actually happening?

433
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 6: I hear voices in my head?

434
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Well do those voices? Because because do those voices when

435
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: you hear about Chuck Schumer. Obviously there's a there's a

436
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: push on that side of the aisle. Uh, there's there

437
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: she is with her wavy brown hair, you know, looking

438
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: like the girl in cocktail being a flare tender and

439
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: throwing bottles up in the air that X bartender as

440
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: he running for his for his spot. Do you think

441
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: that happens?

442
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 6: Well, it's I mean, even before they get to that point.

443
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 6: I mean, Chuck Schumer has got numerous handfuls of Democrats

444
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 6: on the h on the House side have caught on

445
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 6: him a step aside. And there was a debate in Illinois,

446
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 6: uh not too long ago, on the Democratic side for

447
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 6: Stett where I don't believe a single one of the

448
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 6: top candidates said that they were going to endorse Chuck Schumer.

449
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 6: I believe you know Raja. Christian Morphy said he'd listened

450
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 6: to his pitch. Robin King was asked about it too,

451
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 6: and then the other candidate pretty much said that absolutely

452
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 6: not not voting for Chuck Schumer. And and so, I mean, look,

453
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 6: his his stock right now is not exactly great within

454
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 6: Democratic ranks, and the calls for him to step aside

455
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 6: have only gotten louder over the last year.

456
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Raja is going to do whatever JV tells him too,

457
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: and the rest of the crew, right, that's the way

458
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: Illinois worked, very very tight knit when it comes to

459
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: the the Democrat party here in the state of Illinois.

460
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: My friend, should anything happen, you let us know. Ryan

461
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,800

501
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: about you, and I know it's gonna get a little

502
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: bit warmer around here if you're paying tention to the

503
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: weather forecast, now gonna be probably warm to the point.

504
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: And this shows you how cold it's been. See whenever

505
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: it's about forty I can bucket wash my vehicles in

506
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: the in the in the driveway. You need a step

507
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: still with that f two fifty, though you need more

508
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: than that. It's all making up for my shortness. But

509
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: people of people just want to get out of the house.

510
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: And I started to get quiz yesterday on this thing

511
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: called the Not So Pro Bowler Tour. It's coming back.

512
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: I like that. We'll give you details on a Not

513
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: So Pro Bowler Tour. We don't have a lot yet,

514
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: but we just want you to get ready. And there's

515
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: a new chant for Drake May, who's the quarterback, fabulous

516
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: quarterback that was taken in the same draft as Caleb Williams.

517
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: And it's called Gaze for May. This guy who cited

518
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: God and his wife and family and everything else has

519
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: not only one over people with his love of Jesus

520
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: and his the way he carries himself. But he's got

521
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: He's got the gays and that if you can do that,

522
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: you've got it all. So there's this journalist out on

523
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: the East Coast over in Boston, if you will, Nick,

524
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: and they call him the honky journalist, Colton Bradford. And

525
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: I guess he was doing a live shot after the

526
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: team maybe was in the playoffs or found its way

527
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. And somehow people started chanting gay

528
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: for May. And this journalist is gay, and he's like,

529
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: we're all gay for May. I'm gay right for you.

530
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 8: Know what, as a gay man, I also am gay,

531
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 8: you know.

532
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: And it's funny because we we lived some of that

533
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: coalescing around the Bears this year, right and it makes people,

534
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, and you think about it, Boston, mostly heterosexual

535
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: fans out in Beattown right there. That's a tough group

536
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: out there, but it's fun. And Drake May yesterday was

537
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: talking with the media and this has got the ladies swooning. Now,

538
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, He's twenty three years old, he's

539
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: married to his high school sweetheart. But you see, I'm

540
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: living in Pollyanna and maybe this makes me an old man,

541
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: but I think this is a good guy. Yeah.

542
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 3: You know, my teammates, they had the right to whatever

543
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 3: they choose, but I definitely, you know what, advise them

544
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 3: to eventually get married. It's one of the best things

545
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: in life, one of the best things I've experienced in

546
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: my life. And there's no better, you know, feeling than

547
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 3: you're coming home to a wife that loves you and

548
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 3: cares for you and just worried about your best interests.

549
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 3: And I know my teammates, you know, some of them

550
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: are experiencing different parts of their life in the stages,

551
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: but chose to get married young, and I'm don't great

552
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 3: at one.

553
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: Some of them are experiencing arrests. Wow, you know you know,

554
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you know, you look at the

555
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: NFL and and that guy's a phenomenaly, right, I mean

556
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: that is not that's not your average everyday NFL player, right.

557
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of these young men that

558
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: get crazy with this money and they don't know how

559
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: to real themselves in. Look at she Rice, right, this

560
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: is a receiver that played. I think he's still with

561
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: the with the Chiefs. I know he came back, but

562
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: he was suspended for four or five games because he

563
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: had last year gotten in some trouble when he was

564
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: out in his Lambeau with cash and weed and everything

565
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: else and was arrested. Bad behavior. Yeah, you'll find your way,

566
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: You'll be okay. But that that I like. I like

567
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: that guy. But I still don't know how you get

568
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: past the Seattle Seahawks in the big game. And Nick,

569
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: you just brought me a story which is an interesting one,

570
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that this morning. It's seven fifty.

571
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: The press, the press of Chicken Wings are going down

572
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: right before the big game. Billie Eilish, Billy Eilish, she

573
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: was no fun that the Grammys was she as grateful

574
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: as I feel. I honestly don't feel like I need

575
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: to say anything.

576
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 6: But no one is illegal on stolen land.

577
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: You see there, Billy Young Billy, Billy, don't be a

578
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: hero because right there she said, I really don't feel

579
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: like I need to say anything. You should have stopped. Yeah,

580
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: just shut up. So here's what happens with Billie Eilish

581
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: and and I get it. Sometimes, you know, people will

582
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: take their passion of what they may see is something

583
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: that's an indiscretion, something that's not right, and they will

584
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: use their platform to want to talk about it. But

585
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: the Topanga tribe in southern California has responded, it's actually

586
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: the Tabanga triver to. I'm not exactly sure how to

587
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: pronounce it. Maybe Tom Hush that knows so much can

588
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: log in the chat GTP and figure it out.

589
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 9: Tongva what is that? Tongva?

590
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: Tasha?

591
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, t o n g v A tonga Tongva?

592
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: Is it okay? If I call it the Topanga, I

593
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: know that's probably going to anger them, but it just

594
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: reminds me of boy meets a girl in her world

595
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: or whatever?

596
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, was that Elizabeth Warren's tribe, the Tapangas.

597
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: Can we just focus on Topanga? Okay? How big of

598
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: a crush did you have on t Panga? Oh?

599
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 8: Man, I was obsessed when they got married at Epcot.

600
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 8: What an episode, amazing stuff.

601
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh boy. So while accepting the Grammy of the

602
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Song for the Year, she just said, she said, you

603
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: know what, we need to abolish lice, ice and lice too.

604
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: If you got lice, that's a problem. No one is

605
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: illegal on stolen land, which we should correct and say

606
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: it's not stolen land, it's conquered land. There's a difference. Well,

607
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: now this tribe has come out and they said, you know,

608
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: your mansion, your mansion in the Beverly Hills, Uh huh

609
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: is sitting on our land. And we would appreciate it

610
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: if you'd be more specific when you're virtue signaling to

611
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: talk to talk about our tribe. Our team has reached

612
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: out to hers see that the Tongva tribe known as Tapanga,

613
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: that's how they identify their team has reached out to

614
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: her team to express their appreciation for comments. But it's

615
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: our hope then in future discussions the tribe can explicitly

616
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: reference to didn't sure the public understands the Greater Los

617
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: Angeles basin means the Gabrielino Tongueva territory otherwise known as Tapanga.

618
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, I know has nothing to do

619
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: with LA, but he decided to step into the fray

620
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: on this and says maybe she should step up and

621
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: forfeit her gallow for you man, Well, obviously that's what

622
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: everybody's you know, that's what everybody says immediately. Right, Well,

623
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: if you don't like it here, and if you don't

624
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: like where you're living, why don't you do something with

625
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: the TONGUEA tribe would gladly take that place back. They

626
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: could probably make a nice little casino out of that house.

627
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: Senator Mike Lee of Utah saying, any white person who

628
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: does a public stolen land acknowledgment should immediately give his

629
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: or her land to Native Americans, otherwise they don't mean it.

630
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: Six p'in' three texture here is saying that they believe

631
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Billy Jack was a part of the tongue betry.

632
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, Billy, oh man, I love Billy Jack.

633
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: You know what, Nick, I'm gonna take this boot and

634
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: put it right there on your face.

635
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 9: One tin soldier rides away, and there's.

636
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: Not a damn thing you're gonna do about it.

637
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 8: I think instead of the pledge of allegiance, maybe you

638
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 8: should do a land acknowledgment at the top of the

639
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 8: shell and acknowledge that we are on the ancestral home

640
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 8: of the wooly mammoth.

641
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go. Then, and what do

642
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: we do. We brought in diesel pickups, we cause the

643
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: ice age with climate change, and we kill them.

644
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's it's the circle of life, right, We're

645
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 5: burning dinosaur bones, that's fine.

646
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: And the dinosaurs we're here first.

647
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 9: Man, Yeah, the ancestral home of the stegosaurus.

648
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do here is we're gonna take

649
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: the dinosaur bones of Nick, the Stegosaurus and the WLS listeners,

650
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: and we're going to take them bowling because it's good.

651
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: It's good, it's good exercise. Love it. It's that time

652
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: of year when we get the player a favorite sleep

653
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: at the way the beginning w L S.

654
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 9: I like the bowl a bit, my friend, burden the.

655
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: Shirt is my kind of game, all right, So raise

656
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: the hands who wants to do the Not So Pro

657
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: Bowler Tour again. We still have some of the trophies

658
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: left over that Michael Garray was nice enough to find

659
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: at a Berwin resale shop, so we've got a head

660
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: start this year. So that's good. I have the shirt

661
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: that you're Can we still use those? Yeah?

662
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.

663
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know if wearing that shirt was going to

664
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: remind you of the old days and make you sad.

665
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 9: Hey, they're stolen shirts, you know.

666
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: They kind of were because we got them at a

667
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: resale shop and they were only four bucks apiece and

668
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: Nick's former soulmate put kingpins on the back. I think

669
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: we need to go with some kind of a silk

670
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: shorts too, like a jort or chance, because I started

671
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: the sweat last year and I would have liked to

672
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: have some rip away clothing. So Stephan was asking me

673
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: yesterday how we gave away the chance to come boling

674
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: with us. I think we just put it out there

675
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: as a certain caller and if you want to go,

676
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: but we need you to, we need you to show

677
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: right right right.

678
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 5: I mean we had people there that just showed up

679
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 5: didn't want a ball, which was fine.

680
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know you know, I don't if you want

681
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: us to do this. I think we should do it

682
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: again because people are tired of being in the house

683
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a nice chance to get out

684
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: and have some knob Creek whiskey. And we almost won

685
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: that thing. And I don't know how Nick, I think

686
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: we I think I think you bowled a sixty eight

687
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: because you had a broken egg. I carried you. I

688
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: carried you. I dragged you to the sam like Jesus

689
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: in the Bible. But we're gonna do it again this

690
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: year on the Big eighty nine, and we certainly hope

691
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: you'll come along with some of the annex will play

692
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: stepped over the line? You were one toke over the line.

693
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that was That was Thomas. She is the

694
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: adjunct faculty at Virginia Military Institute. Her name is doctor

695
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: Dawn Weiss. And we talked to doctor Dawn Weis about

696
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: a fraternity issue last year, and here we are talking

697
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: about another one Nick three Delta Tau Delta leaders facing

698
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 1: hazing charges. As documents said the pledge is were lyally

699
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: blindfolded pillowcases and they were consuming large amounts of a

700
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: vodka before the victim became unresponsive. You know, when you

701
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: send your daughter or your son to college, and I've

702
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: done this three times now, you want them to go

703
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: get life experience. You want them to have fun, live

704
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: and learn. And I've always told my kids started crazy

705
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: and work backwards. And I never myself felt the need

706
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: to be in any kind of a club of fraternity

707
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: or things like that. But they are and they do

708
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: have some good for some people. Let's start there with

709
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: the doctor, doctor down. Welcome back to WLS. Good morning,

710
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: Good morning. Let's talk about the benefits of a frat

711
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: life on campus. You know, I never felt the need.

712
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: But first let's go through what might be good about

713
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: this and then talk about the dangers and how do

714
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: we prepare our kids for this stuff?

715
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 7: Sure, sure, well, I appreciate the chance to talk with

716
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 7: you about this. This is obviously a really serious, serious

717
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 7: topic for parents, for parents to understand when suits are

718
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 7: going off to college. You know, prior to teaching at

719
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 7: the university level, I spent twenty years in campus administration.

720
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 7: And uh, there are there are a couple of a

721
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 7: couple of things that that I know and I share

722
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 7: with my own friends. When you know they their sons

723
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 7: and daughters are going off to school and they say

724
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 7: about their son, should my son join a fraternity? What

725
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 7: we know is that we see college student behavior whether

726
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 7: there are fraternities or not. And for the most part,

727
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 7: college student behavior is great behavior, exactly what you were

728
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 7: just talking about. People going off, people trying to find,

729
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 7: you know, what it is they're seeking in life and UH,

730
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 7: and sometimes very very tragic things happen, like we've seen

731
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 7: in this situation. But what we know about fraternity UH

732
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 7: is that fraternity men particularly are better educated about hi

733
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 7: ric situations. And statistically, we know that fraternity men are

734
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 7: more likely to intervene in an alcohol related emergency. We

735
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 7: know that they are more likely to intervene in when

736
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 7: they see hazing happening. We know that they are more

737
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 7: likely to intervene if they know that a friend is

738
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 7: dealing with alcohol issues, for example, and get that friend

739
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 7: of counseling. And so you know this, you know what

740
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 7: we what we see, what we see happening right now

741
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 7: in the news absolutely one hundred percent tragic. And what

742
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 7: I tell my friends when they're sending their kids off

743
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 7: to college is you need to be sure to have

744
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 7: really clear expectations that you set for your son about

745
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 7: the behaviors that you're you're hoping you're going to see.

746
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: You always worry about that kid that you know that

747
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: never Yeah, I never drank in high school. I didn't

748
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: do any of that to you know, my parents didn't

749
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: sit down and have the talk and what you just

750
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: kind of laid out for us. And all of a sudden,

751
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: here you are. You're in this brave new world and

752
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: you get to be on your own and and you know,

753
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: nary does the thought of elk poisoning creep into your mind?

754
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Is there any My daughter went to Belmont, my son

755
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: went to the University Wisconsin. The other one went to

756
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: Northern Illinois, And I never did ask them when they

757
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: were there, Hey, did anybody talk to you about partying

758
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: and alcohol and poisoning and things like that? Probably because

759
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: they partied with dad beforehand, And I'm not saying that

760
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: it was out of control, but they knew started crazy

761
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: work backwards. Is there anywhere in these universities where you

762
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: might be educated on some of this? And I know

763
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy, but does the college life provide anything

764
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: like this for new students?

765
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 7: Absolutely? And I want to talk about that from a

766
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 7: couple of different perspectives. One, yes, colleges and universities educate

767
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 7: about this. Two we know that fraternities educated about this.

768
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 7: But interestingly, and something that often gets overlooked is the

769
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 7: fact that parental expectations, and this is again one of

770
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 7: those things that we know is statistically true, parental expectations

771
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 7: of out alcohol and drug use continue to matter even

772
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 7: when a student goes off to college. You know, so

773
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 7: often the parents want to say, Okay, you know, good luck,

774
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 7: but parents need to continue to have conversations about expectations.

775
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 5: Nick, did you want to ask a question, Well, I

776
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 5: just wanted to add that, you know, when I went so,

777
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 5: I went to Southern Illinois and they had a rule

778
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 5: that for the first two years you had to live

779
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 5: in the dorms unless you were well, I think that's

780
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 5: still a rule. Well, and one of the first things

781
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 5: we do, I was on the seventeenth floor of one

782
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 5: of the towers here, Schneider Tower.

783
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: And the first thing that you did, that's how you

784
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: broke your ankle, I climbing up those stairs.

785
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 5: All right, But the first thing that we did was

786
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 5: get together with our ra and the RA took probably

787
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 5: a good ten minutes to talk to us about alcohol,

788
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 5: use things to look out for, things not to do,

789
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. And there was a learning curve

790
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 5: there for some some of these kids that had.

791
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: Never you know, had a drink before in college. Just

792
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: my my two cents on it. I think I think

793
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: they do do a good job of educating the kids. Well,

794
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, these these these are few and

795
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: far between, but they're tragic, and you try to keep

796
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: them from happening. Again. Doctor Don Weis is here, don

797
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: give me a give me your top. I know you

798
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: you know, what do you do? Do you do you

799
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: tell your kids? I mean, I know with my kids

800
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: when when they went to school, and I can only

801
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: call on my on my experience, and I know you're

802
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: an expert at this, but uh, I've always told my kids,

803
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: even into their late twenties, you know what, would you

804
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: keep your location services on on your phone? Uh? And

805
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: and and and for the love of God, let me

806
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: know where you're going, and and and and just be

807
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: mindful that anything bad can happen in a in a moment,

808
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: and a bad decision can affect a lifetime.

809
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you know, I mean, and this I'm glad that

810
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 7: you talked about your own role as a parent as

811
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 7: your students were going off to college. Because parents, the

812
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 7: students need to need to continue to have these conversations.

813
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 7: And so in terms of my over are all, what

814
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 7: I share with my friends is to don't stop the conversations. Uh,

815
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 7: make it very very clear the kind of behavior you

816
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 7: want to see out of your son and out of

817
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 7: your daughter, because it is You're right, you know, I

818
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 7: think parents parents, parents do a lot of hoping and praying,

819
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 7: and we all know that that hope, hope is not

820
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 7: the strategy that instead, we have to be very clear

821
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 7: about what we want to see.

822
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: Do you find that there are certain areas I mean,

823
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about northern Arizona UH University, right, and and

824
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: and and Arizona State. These are party schools, right, they're

825
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: good schools, don't get me wrong. But do you find

826
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: that the schools in that area are a little bit

827
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: more apt to live this kind of culture? Is that

828
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't matter? I mean, it's it's across all

829
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: all the states. I mean, I know that it's you know,

830
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: Arizona State. You know, you go to Florida, You've got that,

831
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: You've got that that that vibe, that party vibe. Is

832
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: there is there a difference there maybe or no, you.

833
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 7: Know, I really think it's more about more about students

834
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 7: are going to find what they're seeking no matter where

835
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 7: they attends, and that's why it's very important to make

836
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 7: sure that you're setting your own expectations.

837
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: Doctor don We appreciate the visit, and yeah, it's about

838
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: being accountable and that's kind of hard these days. Is

839
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: there somewhere we can go to read up some more

840
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,479
Speaker 1: about this where we can send people for a little

841
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: bit more info on your part.

842
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, So what I would recommend is if you go

843
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 7: online and do a quick search on conversations with your

844
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 7: son and daughter about alcohol, conversations with your son and

845
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 7: daughter about hazing, you're going to find some great information

846
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 7: about how to have how to have those kinds of

847
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 7: those kinds of talk.

848
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: I have to talk, no doubt about it. And this

849
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: goes for adults as well. Start a crazy work backwards.

850
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: Always nice to have the conversation, doctor Donuish, Thank.

851
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 7: You, thank you, good to talk with you.

852
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: Nick. I learned a couple of things, you know, because

853
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: when I learned one that a short bed Chabby can

854
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: jump a ditch, and two that cheaps don't float in

855
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: the Verde River, and that my education span at Arizona

856
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: State University was cut short by three point eight years

857
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: because I decided to try to drive that jeep through

858
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: a river. And then there was an early winter. The

859
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: winter came early up to the Eldora Ski Resort, where

860
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: my buddy Fritz van Disen was going to school at

861
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: the University of Boulder and operating a chairlift, and I

862
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: just never went back to school. Yeah, there wasn't a

863
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: lot of fraternity chances down here at the Columbia College

864
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: on six hundreds not. The only thing I learned from

865
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: different colleges across the nation is the brand of beers

866
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: that they choose. Yeah right, Yeah, Southern Illinois like Stag

867
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: and Natty Light. Oh god, Stag out. You go out

868
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: to the Little West, It's Green Belt good stuff. Loan Star.

869
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 5: I would imagine it's popular in Texas. Oh yeah, and

870
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 5: they just drink wine out in California.

871
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, if there is a way to ruin a conversation,

872
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: we just had I find it. I know, why do

873
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: you have to be like this? I'm born that way?

874
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, homeboy was born that way.

875
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,919

00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: people have never been told they did something wrong, and

891
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: people can't accept their personal accountability. Yeah, and isn't that

Speaker 1: label group. That's another one, Nick that's on our our

922
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, the people that put the the Ray and

923
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: Nick Car together for the for the Chicagoland Race. So

924
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: my friend Scott borshetta down the Big Machines Vodka and

925
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: Big Machine label group. That's one of his hardists. And

926
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: they say that a lot of people are showing interest

927
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,479
Speaker 1: in this, and that bad Bunny has come out and said,

928
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's just gonna stick with a halftime performance,

929
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: not delve into politics or even make comments as to such.

930
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: But I think at this point it doesn't matter because

931
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: people have foregone conclusions about what they're gonna watch. They

932
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: don't like the uh, the optics of this for a

933
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime show, and on and on it. Ohs,

934
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: you're saying three point two five eighty nine hundred. You

935
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: can also chime in as to who is your TV crush?

936
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: I guess I thought you'd say, like somebody from the

Speaker 1: Big Valley. Yeah right now, uh, miss Kitty, Miss kitty,

938

00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: a little older for you. Yeah, well yeah, but she

940
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: was a lucker. She was I should have been a cowboy.

Speaker 1: The Black Crows and Whiskey Myers Credit Union wont Ampitheater.

957
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't have the information in front of me here,

958
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: but I'm sure because we're giving them away before they

959
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: go on sale. My guess is they probably go on

960
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: sale this Saturday. That could be true. Tom Hushett knows

961
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: so much. My chime in on that Senator Mitch McConnell

962
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: has been hospitalized. Boy, I hope he doesn't have what

963
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: I have. If he has what I have, you better

964
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: dig a hole. I told my mom. I took mom

965
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: to a doctor's appointment, yesterdon Now my mom is ninety

966
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: three years old, telling the doctor I have the body

967
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: of a seventy year old. I'm like, mom, let the

968
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: doctor talk. We went out to Northwestern on Gary Avenue

969
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: in Bloomingdale. Uh, and the doctor's fabulous. She took a

970
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: lot of time with pat. But the thing is with

971
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: my mom is she's telling the doctor what's up. And

972
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not why we're here. And the doctor says,

973
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, you should maybe try to listen to your

974
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: son who that had not go better. You know what

975
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: he said to me yesterday. This is right around the

976
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: point where they're asking you if you feel safe at home.

977
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, she's got two black eyes

978
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: and a broken nose. Sheriff Mendrick's guys are gonna come

979
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: pick me up and put me in jail. I'm convinced

980
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: she's gonna say he hit me because she would say

981
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: something like that. So she says to this nurse and

982
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: I can't even pronounce it. To the doctor, I can't

983
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: even pronounce the doctor's name, but she's wonderful. A knock

984
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: of something, I don't I am gonna I've got that wrong.

985
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: He called me the cock of the walk. What the

986
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: hell is that sounds dirty? And and of course I

987
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: don't know where this doctor from originally, right, she doesn't

988
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 1: know what the hell I'm talking about. And I explained

989
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: it to her and she's like, well, yeah, I get that. Okay,

990
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: you're the boss. She goes, but maybe you should listen

991
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: to him a little bit. But back to a Senator,

992
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, do you see any of the video that

993
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: was on the news stations to him? I mean, this

994
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: guy has got to step down. You gotta you gotta

995
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: walk it back a little bit. He's in the last

996
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: few years, he's had those moments where he all of

997
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, it was like a deer in the headlights.

998
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, he was talking and he just stops.

999
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 9: He's had falls and everything.

1000
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's okay, man, you've done a lot

1001
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 8: of public service.

1002
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 9: You can step away.

1003
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that you know, and the public

1004
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: service here from the doctor that I saw yesterday with pat,

1005
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: why did you fall? And I'm like, gosh, please don't

1006
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: say I tripped her and and but she stew no,

1007
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: she said I tripped over a carpet. And the doc said,

1008
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: you know what, she said, you need to get every

1009
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 1: throw rug and every carpet you have on the floor

1010
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: and get rid of him. Thank you. I told my

1011
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: father the same thing, and I didn't even think of

1012
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: that because my mom is she collects carpets like they're

1013
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: never going to make another one of them. She's got

1014
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: this beautiful wooden floor. And I said that my mom

1015
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: has hardwood floors. Why cover a mop? Yeah, well, protecting them.

1016
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: But that's so she said, get all those floors. So

1017
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: if your mom and dad, if you're looking after your

1018
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: mom and dad and people our age are, you know,

1019
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: get those carpets off the floor. And the other things.

1020
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: She said, do you have grandkids, because they leave stuff

1021
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: laying around allah your kid's neck. You know, I'm sure

1022
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: your kids probably put toe tappers out for pops. What

1023
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: happened to your dad hit one of our land mines?

1024
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: What an abundance of caution after experiencing flu like symptoms

1025
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: over the weekend. He has been checked in. But you know,

1026
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: there needs to be term limits and there needs to

1027
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: be age limits for people that work in our politics.

1028
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. I'm not saying that's

1029
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 1: a Senator, Mitch McConnell. Is that Tom Apply pointed out

1030
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: hasn't done a good job. But at some point, you know,

1031
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 1: just as we said with Joe Biden, has to be enough.

1032
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: Love you guys. My favorite TV crush was David Cassidy

1033
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: from the Partridge Family. I get that. I guess you

1034
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: gotta throw Donny Osmond in there too, right, you talk

1035
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: about old heart drops and things like that. Chief Tom White,

1036
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: tell our friend, former police chief of Riverside, Illinois, sent

1037
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 1: it bill discriminating against former border agents. Here we go again,

1038
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: and why does America hate law enforcement? And how do

1039
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: you how long will it take this doctrination that's been

1040
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: going on for years and years and years to turn

1041
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 1: back the other way? And do we even have the

1042
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: fortuity to do that? Boy? You talk about it here,

1043
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they start talking about it over there, Nick.

1044
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: Yesterday we were talking about that to House Bill It

1045
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: proposes to tax Illinoisans on their backyard fires. Well that

1046
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: caught on like fire yesterday and people were posting it

1047
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: like crazy. Right, it's just another tax on the working

1048
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: men and women of this fine, fine, hardworking state. But

1049
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: this House bill is nuts. This is Senator Laura Fines.

1050
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: Senate Bill twenty eight twenty blocks qualified officers to rise

1051
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: up again and serve. So what this bill basically does

1052
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: is it says, if you were employed by ice between

1053
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: this time and that time, and I believe it's between

1054
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: January twentieth of twenty five and twentieth of twenty twenty nine,

1055
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: which would put you basically in the Trump years, you

1056
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: are not qualified to be hired as a law enforcement

1057
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: officer in the state of Illinois. It's ridiculous, it's discrimination.

1058
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: It is what it is. Let's start there with our

1059
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: friend Chief Tom White, so former police chief Riverside. You

1060
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: see him on TV all the time. Chief, it's been

1061
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: a minute. How are you, sir?

1062
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, I've been great. Thanks for having me on.

1063
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the ridiculousness here. I mean, a qualified

1064
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 1: officer is a qualified officer. You can't do this now.

1065
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 10: This is absolutely unconstitutional and it's biased, without a question.

1066
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 10: You can't. You can't just wave a wand across a

1067
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 10: whole group of people. Imagine if they had done this

1068
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 10: type of proposed legislation to anybody that was a minority,

1069
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 10: or they did it to doctors or lawyers or anybody,

1070
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 10: it would be But the legislation, you're exactly right, it

1071
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 10: keeps qualified ICE agents only during the Trump administration through

1072
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 10: the end of the Trump administration at least, that's the

1073
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 10: proposal from being law enforcement in Illinois. And that includes

1074
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 10: any law enforcement local, state, county, colleges, university police, any

1075
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 10: certified police agency in Illinois would be barred from hiring

1076
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 10: f a former ICE agent. And remember, some of these

1077
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 10: ICE agents currently working are from our US military. They

1078
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 10: put in time as MPs in the military, or they're

1079
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 10: working in different branches to the military. When they get

1080
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 10: out of the military, they go to federal policing and

1081
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 10: then they say, you know, later on, like maybe I'll

1082
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 10: go back to my home state and be a local

1083
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 10: police officer. And this would tell them you can't do that.

1084
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 5: Chief, I mean to that point, I mean this is

1085
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 5: discrimination double I mean not only towards the law enforcement officer,

1086
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 5: but you're discriminating against former military It's just it doesn't

1087
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 5: make any sense.

1088
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, and these politicians here in Illinois that say we

1089
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 10: support the military, I can tell you the law enforcement

1090
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 10: gets a lot of police officers from the military. They

1091
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 10: make real Former military officers and former military personnel make

1092
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 10: great police officers. They have military bearing, they understand shane

1093
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 10: of command, that they're well trained or physically fit. So

1094
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 10: then we're just saying you cannot be a police officer

1095
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 10: in Illinois when we're having a difficult time recruiting and retaining.

1096
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about what's going on, and it's

1097
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: been reporting in this news. You're going to hear about

1098
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: it as you roll through the day today. But the budget,

1099
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: the shutting down of the government. Okay, government shutdown is over,

1100
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: but the caveat there is they kick the can down

1101
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: the road with two weeks of funding left for Homeland

1102
00:55:55,080 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: Security and ICE because they want to Republicans that come

1103
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: to the table and basically defund those two agencies. Make

1104
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: no mistake that they also want to defund the police.

1105
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: Democrats have been talking about this. They're not even hiding

1106
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: from it. They've been talking about it. Pre George Floyd

1107
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: where does this get us? Chief? Because I just don't

1108
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: understand why. And it's part of the social contract we

1109
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 1: like to talk about here. We want to be safe

1110
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: in our neighborhoods. Neighborhoods deserve to be safe. Every day,

1111
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: somebody's getting shot in Chicago and somebody's crying about it,

1112
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: but nobody cares like they do if somebody gets shot

1113
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 1: by an officer who's resisting arrest and using a car

1114
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,919
Speaker 1: as a projectile in Minneapolis, and it leads us down

1115
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: this path of stupidity, Where does this end up? What

1116
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: do these people want?

1117
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 4: You know?

1118
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 10: To your point, people thought there is this outrage that's

1119
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 10: somehow the police are, whether it be federal or local,

1120
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 10: or abusing citizens residence, ridiculous offices. You know, just this month,

1121
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 10: there's been twenty four police officers shot in allte duty

1122
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 10: across the United States, three killed. And it just went

1123
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 10: up this week because you may know that in Peoria,

1124
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 10: a Peoria County deputy was shot this week in Peoria, Illinois.

1125
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: Good looking to a young man twenty four.

1126
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, these are the excellent officers that we're trying to attract,

1127
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 10: and they're working in a state that demonizes policing, demonizes

1128
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 10: law enforcement, tries to pass anti police legislation. Yet someone

1129
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 10: like the deputy in Peoria County who if you've seen

1130
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 10: his photo that they released, He's a twenty four year

1131
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 10: old deputy committed to policing in Peoria County. He's still

1132
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 10: out there doing the job even though our politicians are

1133
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 10: slamming police. That's one reason, you know, I accepted a

1134
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 10: position for I'm a fellow now with a Wake Illinois

1135
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 10: and we're really working on this Senate building. We're trying

1136
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 10: to tell residents to go to their website at a

1137
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 10: Wake Illinois. We have a petition up to send a

1138
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 10: Laura Fine to say not only forget this bill, pull

1139
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 10: the bill, like pull the bill, don't even send it forward.

1140
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 10: It's about as discriminatory as can be.

1141
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: We like Shannon and the group there at Awake Illinois.

1142
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: This is Chief Tom Whitzel. So this was introduced by

1143
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: Senator Laura Fine. She's on a glen View co sponsored

1144
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: by Emil Jones, Sarah fig Holes and Lakeisha Collins. I

1145
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: would not be opposed to WLS listeners calling these offices

1146
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: and say what are you doing? And again, Senator Laura

1147
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: Fine is the one that introduced this is this state

1148
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: is going down a trajectory of stupidity, and it's going

1149
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: to happen. On the first eighty degree day. Somebody's going

1150
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: to be some young girl is going to be sitting

1151
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: in the front of her house and she's going to

1152
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: get shot by a stray bullet. And people are going

1153
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: to go, why did this happen? Why? Because we do

1154
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: not prosecute criminals or criminality here in this state. And

1155
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: it continues to just spin around this and I don't

1156
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: know what the payoff is. I don't know how this

1157
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: helps this city. I don't know who's getting paid off

1158
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: or where the money's coming from. But you're running people off,

1159
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: You're running people out of this town, You're running people

1160
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: out of this state. And I don't know how this

1161
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: helps any of us, because Nick, you and I have

1162
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: been in these neighborhoods and we know that ninety nine

1163
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: point nine percent of these folks are good, hard working people.

1164
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: These are neighborhoods that they've grown up and they live there.

1165
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: It's their place. They can't help but that there's a

1166
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: bunch of idiots running around with guns that want to

1167
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: partake in gang activity. But we don't seem to want

1168
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: to concentrate on that, and Chief, I don't get it.

1169
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why anybody'd want

1170
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: to be a cop, but God bless those that do.

1171
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: I always appreciate the visit.

1172
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you so much. Make one comment. Just yesterday

1173
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,439
Speaker 10: on the Laura Fying issue, the Chicago Tribune endorsed her.

1174
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: They did.

1175
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 10: I posted on my execon she had. This isn't the

1176
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 10: only anti police legislation. She supported the Clean Slate Act.

1177
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 10: There's much more. So the Chicago Tribune editorial comes out

1178
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 10: supporting an individual who doesn't do anything for public safety

1179
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 10: in Illinois.

1180
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: I picked up the Tribune on Saturday in one of

1181
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: my neighbor's driveways, and I didn't want to take it

1182
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: because that had been stealing and I'm a law and

1183
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: order guy. But there was a headline and on the

1184
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: inside there was a brochure for Danley Garages, and then

1185
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: I think that was about it. There's nothing there anymore, right,

1186
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: it's absolutely crazy newspapers. Weyll boy. I appreciate you, Thank you.

1187
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 10: Chief, Thank you Franks for having me a great morning.

1188
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you down to Tucson. And we're going

1189
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: to get the job done with our friend Jorge Revis.

1190
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Jorgey Revis is a restaurant owner and he owns Sammis.

1191
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: He owned Sammis in Tucson, Arizona. And here's a little

1192
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: bit of Whoregey talking about. Hey, if you're a homeland security,

1193
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: if you're born to patrol, if you were ICE, if

1194
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: you're a police officer, I've got a restaurant and guess what.

1195
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: Guess what, you come to my restaurant and this is

1196
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. We're going to serve you, and

1197
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: we're going to do it with a smile. Stand by

1198
01:00:58,760 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: for Jorgey.

1199
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 11: The Ice Out National Day of Action organized by the

1200
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 11: leftist guerrilla group in the United States led a national

1201
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 11: news organization come to our restaurant, sam Is Mexican Grill

1202
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 11: and ask for interview. Because this particular news organization already

1203
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 11: knew that we have been offering three meals to local

1204
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 11: law enforcement and they wanted to know if that offer

1205
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 11: also extended through the federal agents to the ICE agent,

1206
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 11: and of course it does. And also they wanted to

1207
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 11: know what do we think about everything that is happening

1208
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 11: from our point of view the way that we feel

1209
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 11: that we support law and order. We also support the

1210
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 11: Trump presidency and everything that he's doing.

1211
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with him this morning at eight

1212
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: oh five. For make sure you set a little reminder

1213
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: on your phone because you're gonna have to hear what

1214
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: he has to say. Now, I will tell you this

1215
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: about Jorge. He identifies as a Republican, and God bless

1216
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: him for doing so. He ran for an Arizona's congressional

1217
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: seat in District seven. And when he did so as

1218
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 1: a Republican, this proud man of immigrant descent right right,

1219
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: was horribly reviewed. Google Reviews went to the crap around him.

1220
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: They said that his restaurant shut down because all they

1221
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,160

1234
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:09,320

1235
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: we were there last year and we were working with

1236
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Salute Ink and when we had out the moving tribute

1237
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: to a nine to eleven, that was the place that

1238
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: was just open. We talked with the men that design

1239
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: that it's very cool. We've got a virtual reality experience

1240
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: for you Rosemont coming up. We'll give it away Friday.

1241
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: It's part of our road to Rosemont as we celebrate

1242
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: their seventy years this year here on wls AM eight ninety.

1243
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: And you talk about a success story, that is definitely

1244
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: it when you talk about Rosemont and the like big

1245
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:47,439
Speaker 1: week for Bad Buddy getting ready. He's made a Grammy history. Boy.

1246
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: You know what, Now, this guy, this guy makes Grammar

1247
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Grammy history, and he's doing well a lot of people

1248
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: like this guy. I'm told that right now, and this

1249
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: goes up and down and it changes from time to time,

1250
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 1: that he is the most streamed artist right now. And

1251
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you've got to throw Taylor Swift in

1252
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: there and Beyonce in there as well. But you know what,

1253
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: they've been around a little bit. And I'm told now

1254
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: that Taylor Swift's popularity actually took a bit of a

1255
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: dip here in the last couple of months. And I

1256
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: don't know if that had to do with Killer trav

1257
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: not making the super Bowl or whatever else, but they

1258
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: said that her likability has hit the skids a little bit.

1259
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: That also might have something to do with some of

1260
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: the politics that those two are talking about lately, because

1261
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: that won't help either. But there's a lot of people

1262
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: that are going to watch the America's halftime super Bowl show.

1263
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get Brantley Gilbert on for Friday.

1264
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: I've put the call into my friends down at the

1265
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Big Machine Vodka and Big Machine Label group to have

1266
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: him on because he's part of that show as well.

1267
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: You'd love Brantley. I don't know what affiliation he's with,

1268
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: but I know he's with one of the don't think

1269
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: it's the Angels, no, but he's with somebody hill That

1270
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,080

1273
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to see the Bad Bunny super

1274
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Bowl Beats in History is what they're calling it. And

1275
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: guess where they're going to show it at the Chicago

1276
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Public Library. Huh, how long can you play it? Because

1277
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: aren't you supposed to be quiet in the library.

1278
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, you're going to have like a sign language

01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 8: interpreter do an interpretive dance.

1280
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: You know that there will be one of those, right, Well.

1281
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you want to have folks who can't

1282
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 8: here be able to enjoy things, but they will have

1283
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 8: one probably.

1284
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:33,919
Speaker 1: How do you hear the music though?

1285
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 9: You feel the beat? Yeah, you feel the meat.

1286
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: So does the sign language person like they do this

1287
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: way and keep the beat for.

1288
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 8: Them they do, okay, and they sign out the lyrics

1289
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 8: and they kind of like act it out.

1290
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, I mean that's the cool thing

1291
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: about about music. At least you can feel it right,

1292
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: And there's there's no doubt that with somebody like Bad

1293
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Bunny the bass drive will be going right, nice bass.

1294
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,760

1296
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: What this is nineteen ninety like the old days. Well,

1297
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: you know what I always had, always had some kind

1298
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: of a car that you couldn't build subs in. Yeah,

1299
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: so you had to get that Bazuka tube because it

1300
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: would fit maybe down in the wheel well or behind

1301
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: where the you know. But yeah, yeah, Hey, maybe what

Speaker 1: and between you, me Berger and Michael, we'll make a

1305
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: we'll make a stereo system for the back of the

1306
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: nifty two fifty. We'll get stopped even more than I

1307
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: did yesterday. So if you want the history and pop culture,

1308
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: we'll meet at the Chicago Public Libraries. Okay. Now, I

1309
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: don't know if this is on the same day where

1310
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: they're doing their drag shows, their their their kid fit

1311
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: friendly drag shows. But why wouldn't you, I mean you

1312
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: might as well.

1313
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 9: How do you get a car into the library?

1314
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. It's hard, but around here we

1315
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: can do it, especially if there's an ATM machine in there. Listen, man,

1316
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I I don't I can't get upset about Bad Bunny.

1317
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people don't like the choice.

1318
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 5: If the Bears were in the Super Bowl, would you

1319
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 5: be a little more upset about it? I don't care

1320
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 5: because I don't care about either team, you know what

1321
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 5: I mean. I'll watch the Super Bowl, but it's not

1322
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 5: going to be for the halftime show.

1323
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 1: It's going to be for the commercials Now. All I

1324
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: want to do is and I think probably I think

1325
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I told Berman this Monday that I probably wouldn't watch

1326
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: the game. And you know, obviously it's probably not wise

1327
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: for me to go drag my butt up to northern

1328
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin to go snowmobiling in the condition i'm in. I'm

1329
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: just heetering on that brink of almost having to put

1330
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: myself in the hospital like Mitch McConnell. So I think

1331
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: I probably need to stay home and rehab because I

1332
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: caught your something something you did to me. I think

1333
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: it's a second This is a second hand smoke. You

1334
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: did this to me? Is it that? In the road salt?

1335
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: That's what it is. You know what, I'm going to

1336
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: smoke from the smokey old fashions there bub I'm calling

1367

Speaker 12: Yeah, we hear Sammy. This is the name of a restaurant,

1372
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 12: Sammy's Mexican Grill. We have a sign. Do you come

1373
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 12: into the door into the restaurant, he says, Welcome to Tommy's.

1374
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 12: Were law enforcements always eat free. And we have designs

1375
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 12: for about five webly five years or more. And that's

1376
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 12: because we personally feel that it is important to recognize

1377
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 12: the sacrifice that law enforcement does every day, protecting every

1378
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 12: single citizen, putting the lights on the line, even though

1379
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 12: that they don't know personally who are they protecting? But

1380
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 12: you know, you and I know that once we're in trouble,

1381
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 12: we call nine one one and we expect someone to

1382
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 12: show up as.

1383
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Soon as possible, absolutely right.

1384
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 12: Also know that there's hundreds and thousands of people out

1385
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 12: there who are beyond crazy, who harass and even kill

1386
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 12: law enforcement. And I think that's so beyond crazy. And

1387
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,560
Speaker 12: I think people like you and I who have a

1388
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 12: mental capacity to realize that if we lose our law

1389
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 12: enforcement will be in very big trouble. So we need

1390
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 12: not only we need to support him, but we need

1391
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 12: to give them the recognition that they deserve.

1392
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 1: Where do you Where do you come from in Mexico?

1393
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: And I know it's been a long time, I mean

1394
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: forty years, you've been here forever, you know, generations. Now,

1395
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: where where do you hail from?

1396
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 12: Well, I am not from the country of Mexico. I

1397
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 12: am from Okay. I don't know if you're familiar.

1398
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: With all we've heard about it lately.

1399
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 12: Late seventies, late seventies, early throughout the eighties, we had

1400
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 12: a civil war and that's that's basically where what I

1401
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 12: grew up. And so I have I have the experience,

1402
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 12: not only personally but also my life, my family suffered

1403
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 12: the consequences of the lowest society where uh you can

1404
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 12: get hurt by just going to school, going to work.

1405
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 12: Uh so much violence, death, bombs going off. So I

1406
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 12: know exactly what happens when you let you know, the

1407
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 12: crazy people trying to take over. So that my experience,

1408
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 12: you know, what I'm doing is not because someone told

1409
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 12: me about what would happen. Now if someone told me

1410
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 12: you know this might happen. No, I I know bye

1411
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 12: bye bye by having suffered the consequences or what really

1412
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 12: goes on once that go and order is not enforced.

1413
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 12: And to me, to me personally, you know, people protests

1414
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 12: is fine if you are in the side on the

1415
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 12: sidewalk protesting the sign, But once you go from the

1416
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 12: sideways to the street and you're interfering with law enforcement,

1417
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 12: you become literally an urban Gulila fighter and that must

1418
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 12: be a stop.

1419
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: So you've you've seen this, You've seen this with your

1420
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: own two eyes. You live that you got out of there.

1421
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: You come to America to get a better life. How

1422
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: much does it hurt your heart to see what's going

1423
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: on here?

1424
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 7: Uh?

1425
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 1: You know, in some instances, not on that scale, but

1426
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: in some instances mimic what you saw from what you fled.

1427
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 12: It makes me sad because the level of ignorance, especially

1428
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 12: the gringles, the white liberals like you see out they're

1429
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 12: protesting for something that they have no idea what they're doing.

1430
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 12: They're lost, they have no goals in their lives, and

1431
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 12: they think that by protesting for criminals, illegal aliens, they're

1432
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 12: doing something good. And they're so dumb because you know,

1433
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 12: I don't know if you heard, but at least fifty

1434
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 12: percent of the new law enforcement the agents that are

1435
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 12: that are being higher are of Latino descent. They have Latin,

1436
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 12: you know, Spanish last name. And why is that? Because

1437
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,959
Speaker 12: we know that it is important to keep this country safe.

1438
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 12: We know that it is important to secure our border,

1439
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 12: to secure our streets. So when you have law enforcement

1440
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 12: agents with Latino last name apprehending and posting the laws,

1441
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 12: uh and taking bad people from the streets, and then

1442
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 12: you have crazy lunatic white liberals, you know, uh, they're

1443
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 12: crazy in the opposite. That's just so insane, it's so dumb,

1444
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 12: and uh, it's out of my capacity to to think

1445
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 12: that it is the right thing to go.

1446
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: We've got to get you to Chicago. We got to

1447
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: get you to Chicago to open a Sammy's here because

1448
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: there's a community here that would welcome you. Could you

1449
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 1: imagine Nick, what Ray Lopez, how these two could work together, Sammy?

1450
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,919
Speaker 1: There is common sense in Chicago. It's not very apparent

1451
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: from Afar because nobody talks about it, just like nobody

1452
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 1: wants to talk about your story, and when they do,

1453
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: they want to they want to purport you with some

1454
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: kind of a bad guy. Now I know that that

1455
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: you have gotten people that don't like you serving police.

1456
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: They don't like the way you talk or what you

1457
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: stand for. How does that hurt your restaurant? Because I

1458
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: would think now you're probably going to see some positives

1459
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: coming out of this talking the radio stations like US,

1460
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: and I know you're going to be on the news,

1461
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:04,600
Speaker 1: so I know you're going to do well here. But

1462
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,959
Speaker 1: in the interim, I know that they don't like your politics.

1463
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: I know that you ran for I believe a Senate

1464
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: seat there in Arizona, and when you did so, they

1465
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: started to hit you with really bad reviews and things

1466
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: like that. Say that your restaurant was closed because they

1467
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: they you know, they purport to love immigrants and what democrats.

1468
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: And Democrats love immigrants, but they don't like people that

1469
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: don't go along lockstep with their messages. With their messaging.

1470
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, first of all, we've been supporting, you know,

1471
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 12: people that run for office that have similar values that

1472
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 12: we do. And especially we started supporting Donald Trump in

1473
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 12: twenty sixteen when first he was first running for you know,

1474
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 12: US president, And when he came to Tucson back in

1475
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 12: March twenty sixteen, to that SUSOM Convention Center, I made

1476
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 12: a sign that says Latino support Donald Trump. Because by

1477
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 12: that time, we already knew that the media, especially this

1478
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 12: Chinese speaking media, was saying that all latinokayed Trump, and

1479
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 12: that was incorrect. Because of my customers, we knew that

1480
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 12: there were a lot of people that support him, but

1481
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 12: many of them were afraid to speak out loud. And

1482
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 12: and you know, coming from where I come from, I

1483
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 12: don't have the I don't have the luxury to be afraid.

1484
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 12: I have to speak up. I have to stand up

1485
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 12: for what is right. Well, especially in a country like

1486
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 12: the United States, what it gives you the opportunity and

1487
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:35,759
Speaker 12: the freedom to express yourself. So we have been attacked

1488
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 12: before that they have tried to shut down our business,

1489
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 12: and the first time was extremely scary because we did

1490
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 12: not know what's going to happen. Right but lustily for us,

1491
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 12: there are so many great people saying, so many patriotic

1492
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 12: people who stand up for what is right, and they

1493
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 12: have come to help us. And this time we are

1494
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 12: not where we are. We feel that also we are

1495
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 12: on the right side of the law. We know God

1496
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 12: is on our side and will be just fine. So

1497
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 12: thank you for the opportunity to expressing myself. Yeah, to

1498
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 12: tell those Americans out there not to be afraid to

1499
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 12: speak up and stand up, because if you do, if

1500
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 12: you do not stand up right now, you're going to

1501
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 12: lose it. And when you do, when you realize it's

1502
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 12: going to be too late.

1503
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: Sammy, God bless you man. You are you are. You

1504
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: are an American success story. And I urge, I urge,

1505

Speaker 12: need to realize is that we need to teach our kids'

1522
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 12: moral values taken to church if it's possible, because a

1523
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 12: lot of what happening is that we have lost our way,

1524
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 12: we have pushed God to the side, and we need

1525
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 12: to bring them back. We need to bring common sense

1526
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 12: and moral values to our life.

1527
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: Which is make sure that when you're talking about those

1528
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: three kids of years, that you're proud of that that

1529
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: they they've got a good role model, and I think

1530
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: we need more of that. You certainly did a great job,

1531
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: and when you need anything, you make sure that you

1532
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: give you've got a friend up here in Chicago. It's

1533
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,439

Speaker 12: Thank you so much, God bless you.

1537
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: All Right, we want to say hi to our next

1538
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 1: guest this morning, Stacy Wahlberg. She's the president and co

1539
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: founder of Cal's Angels. If you don't know what Cal's

1540
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: story is, I mean I could sit here and read it,

1541
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 1: but you were the step mom. Yes, Sam, So I

1542
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: want you to tell me about Cal's Angels because this

1543
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: is a healthy twelve year old kid out there on

1544
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: the ball field, right, He was an All Star playing

1545
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 1: out there in the Fox Valley area, and all of

1546
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 1: a sudden something bad happens.

1547
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, you definitely know the story. Thank you, Ray, and

1548
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 13: thank you Nick for having me on today to talk

1549
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 13: a little bit about Kel's Angel.

1550
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: So.

1551
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 13: Yes, Cal exactly was a very very healthy boy, phenomenal

1552
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 13: baseball player. Nobody could throw from center like him all

1553
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 13: the way to home plate. Spot On made the All

1554
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 13: Stars at eight in the morning, and by three thirty

1555
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 13: in the afternoon, we found out that he had a

1556
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,440
Speaker 13: very aggressive form of leukemia.

1557
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 1: So here's a healthy twelve year old kid, right, and

1558
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: the last thing a parent ever wants to hear is

1559
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: your son, your daughter has cancer. And so you hear

1560
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: those words, what immediately happens after that? You go into

1561
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 1: I suppose crisis mode. I know moms work a little

1562
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 1: bit better in this instances than dad's. What's the next step?

1563
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 13: Oh, I think it's definitely crisis mode, like you said.

1564
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 13: And thankfully we live in a town, you know, right

1565
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 13: in our backyard, Chicago, having some of the best doctors

1566
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 13: in the world, and you know, immediately we were actually

1567
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 13: given a diagnosis of what you hear on the media,

1568
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 13: a very treatable form of leukemia, the childhood form, and

1569
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 13: unfortunately he was later diagnosed then with a more aggressive form,

1570
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 13: which was a dealt form in a child and unfortunately,

1571
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 13: Ray I can probably count on one hand how many

1572
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 13: survivors we see who have that type of.

1573
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: Which is amazing because the cure all rates for kids

1574
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: with cancer of skyrocketed with the help of you know,

1575
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: speak to talk Saint Jude in Memphis, you can talk

1576
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: Glorry here in Chicago, and we've made such tremendous strides

1577
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:47,640
Speaker 1: with especially childhood cancers, but not in this instance. So,

1578
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: without being too personal, how do you how do you

1579
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,600
Speaker 1: help the little guy through? How do you how do

1580
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: you what's the next process for somebody's going through this

1581
01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: right now and they don't know what to do? So

1582
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: how did you set him up to say, you know what,

1583
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: we're going to do everything we can. You're going to

1584
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: be okay. And we know that the end result wasn't

1585
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: what anybody wanted, but how do you set the family

1586
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: up for that?

1587
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 4: Well?

1588
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 13: I think the first thing I always say to families

1589
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 13: is to actually stay off the internet, because we did not,

1590
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 13: and we saw statistics coming out of Europe actually that

1591
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 13: were much better than what they're coming out of here,

1592
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 13: and that's a whole other segment for us. But regardless,

1593
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 13: you know, you never ever can fathom that you're going

1594
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 13: to lose your child.

1595
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 14: That was never going to happen.

1596
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 13: We were going to be the ones in the medical

1597
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:35,640
Speaker 13: books showing Kel's picture of what exactly you know, a

1598
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 13: success story is, and unfortunately that wasn't the case, and

1599
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 13: we didn't though seriously, we probably didn't think that it

1600
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 13: was even going to be an option until probably about

1601
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 13: thirteen months in of the fourteen month journey that this

1602
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 13: is something very real that we may lose him.

1603
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: So we take the story. It's a sad one and

1604
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately it happens. I'm sorry that it happened

1605
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: to you and your family, but you've done so much

1606
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: good out of this organization. I knew of the story,

1607
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,759
Speaker 1: and I started hearing about Cal's Angels, and it grew

1608
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: and grew and grew. And if you drive around the

1609
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: Fox Valley area, you see your signs all over the place.

1610
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Tell me about the gallon that's coming up.

1611
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 13: You said something else that I wanted to mention, but

1612
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 13: we'll get back to that. So the gale is coming up.

1613
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 13: That is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we

1614
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 13: in the last several years we've raised over one point

1615
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 13: three million. We have close to one thousand guests out

1616
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 13: at Drury Lane in oak Brook, and we would love

1617
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 13: everyone's support, you know, truthfully, it's a wonderful event, very inspiring.

1618
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 13: You'll hear from a couple families. We've got some really

1619
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 13: big news to share this year from our commitment of

1620
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 13: four million dollar commitment that.

1621
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 14: We did with Luri's Ray.

1622
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 13: I'm pretty sure you probably don't know this, that what

1623
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 13: cal had no one in the United States could treat

1624
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,679
Speaker 13: if he was ever to relapse. We knew that out

1625
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 13: of the gate, and that's exactly where we ended up.

1626
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 13: Fast forward twenty years later and they're are only five

1627
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 13: places in the nation and it was Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Houston,

1628
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 13: and Seattle until this last year. We made a four

1629
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 13: million dollar commitment and now Luri's is on the map

1630
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 13: as well that they can treat the most advanced leukemias.

1631
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,839
Speaker 13: So there was nothing right from Philadelphia to Seattle. So truthfully,

1632
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 13: many of our families would have to go to Philadelphia

1633
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 13: Seattle if they could afford it.

1634
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 14: Well that's a whole nother layer.

1635
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 13: You have to be able to afford to uproot your family,

1636
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 13: which is terrible. And so now we're able to do

1637
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 13: it right here in our backyard. So it's called the

1638
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 13: cals Angels Advanced Leukemia Clinical and Research Program. So absolutely

1639
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 13: our proudest moment, and out of that story, we signed

1640
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,600
Speaker 13: that contract the end of twenty twenty four, had the

1641
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 13: ribbon cutting in October of this last year. But there's

1642
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 13: a very very exciting story that's come from that, and

1643
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 13: we're going to be able to share that on stage

1644
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 13: at the gala.

1645
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: I like that. The gala is coming up February twenty eighth.

1646
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: It is in Jory Lane at Oakbrook. Talk about you

1647
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 1: mentioned when a kid gets cancer, if there's kids involved

1648
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: in where their siblings to cal at this time?

1649
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 14: Yes, there are yes, several.

1650
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: When you go through that, they don't know what's going on.

1651
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes all the activity that surrounds the sick child makes

1652
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: the other child feel excluded, and that's a weird feeling.

1653
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 1: But I can totally see that it's okay for them

1654
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: to go through that. But you mentioned something else, if

1655
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 1: they can make the trip because the ability to pay, yes,

1656
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: it's insane. It's you know, we know the medical industrial

1657
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: complex in which we live. To try to pay for

1658
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,640
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, it's almost impossible. I've worked with

1659
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: the Saint Jude Pediatric Brain Tumor or Saint Germaine. I've

1660
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: got cold medicine belonging to me. I work with Saint

1661
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: Jude for years and then with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation,

1662
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: and you watch all of this happen. So people like you,

1663
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: they could come out and put something together where you've

1664
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,560
Speaker 1: got a respite of people that don't necessarily have to

1665
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: worry worry about that cost and they can. That's a

1666
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 1: weight lifted off shoulders that many people can understand. Right.

1667
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 13: No, well, nobody budgets for cancer, let's be honest. But

1668
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 13: I do want touch the point that you said about

1669
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 13: the siblings. So the siblings, truly, for all of us

1670
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 13: at Kills Angels, we believe are the kind of the

1671
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 13: unsung heroes. They are the ones being shuffled from neighbors

1672
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 13: and grandmas if they even have, you know, relationships of

1673
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 13: people that they can lean on. Here, they're the ones

1674
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 13: going to bed without the good night kisses and the

1675
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,719
Speaker 13: hugs from mom, and their normal has been ripped out,

1676
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 13: you know, with a rug underneath them, and you know

1677
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 13: they're upside down. They're the ones that we truly never

1678
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 13: want to forget, and we don't at Kill's Angels. I'm

1679
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,680
Speaker 13: very proud to tell you that every program we have

1680
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 13: includes the siblings, and I can absolutely say without a

1681
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 13: doubt we are the only organization in the Midwest. I

1682
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 13: can't verify in the country, but definitely in the Midwest

1683
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 13: where we every single program we have include the siblings.

1684
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 14: Even our wish program.

1685
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 13: If this child gets diagnosed with cancer, the sibling gets

1686
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 13: a wish as well.

1687
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: Tell me about the gala. How do we come, what's

1688
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 1: a cost? What do I expect when I get there?

1689
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to hear some good stories and

1690
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: things like that, entertainment, food, what.

1691
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 14: It is phenomenal.

1692

1695
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 14: Or you can play the part or not. That doesn't

1696
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 14: matter either way.

1697
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 13: And we have I love acting like I'm twenty No

1698

Speaker 13: speed painter there, we have a live auction that is

1703
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 13: just phenomenal. We'll have an incredible story, like I said,

1704
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 13: from a family, and then when we break down into

1705
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 13: dan scene, we're also going to have a casino.

1706
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: This year's.

1707
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 13: Mom, Yes, yeah, mom, she would love that. She needs

1708
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 13: to have a little pick me up.

1709
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 1: I know that you follow me on social media.

1710
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 13: And well, hang on it, don't we follow each other?

1711
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: We do, we do, But here all this takes money.

1712
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: And if if somebody can't make it out because people

1713
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, maybe they can, Maybe they can. I

1714
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: would say, try to get out there. How do we

1715
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: help Cal's Angels? Because you said something very important, it's this,

1716
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: it's here, it's in the Midwest here, and I always

1717
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: always love the fact that we do when you mentioned

1718
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Laurie in Northwest. We have some of the best hospitals

1719
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,680
Speaker 1: in the world, but the work that's done here is

1720
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: really incredible. So you keep it here, you keep it local,

1721
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 1: and a lot of people want to know where their

1722
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 1: money goes. This is a good cause. How do we

1723
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: log on donate what?

1724
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,440
Speaker 13: Well, of course you can go to our website Keelsangels

1725
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 13: dot org. We always accept checks. Those are fabulous. Let's

1726
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 13: be honest. We can't function without them. You know, no money,

1727
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 13: no mission. I don't love that statement, but it's honest

1728
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 13: to God, the truth.

1729
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: We're talking to people that spend twelve dollars a visit

1730
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: to a Starbucks, right, I mean you think about it.

1731
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 14: Like that, that adds up.

1732
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 13: But you know, I would tell you, and I would

1733
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 13: tell Nick, and I would tell all of your listeners.

1734
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:40,799
Speaker 13: You know, we don't really want to be in business.

1735
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 13: We would love to be out of business, right And

1736
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 13: you know, people say, what is your five year goal?

1737
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 13: My five year goal is for Kel's Angels to be

1738
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 13: shut down, locked up. And we've moved on because we've

1739
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,640
Speaker 13: cured cancer. But we can't do it without starting that conversation.

1740
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 13: And I'm so thankful for you today. We're starting that

1741
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 13: educating your listeners. If I can just throw in really quick,

1742
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 13: I'm not even sure if you're aware of this, but

1743
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 13: only four percent of government funding goes towards the kids. Horrible,

1744
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 13: And this has been going on for decades. It's not

1745
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 13: anything new.

1746
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 1: You know.

1747
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 13: We've had four new drugs since nineteen eighty. We have

1748
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 13: hundreds for adults. We have only twenty for children, and

1749
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 13: each child, depending on their diagnosis, really only has about

1750
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 13: six or eight within that twenty that they're able to use,

1751
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 13: and if they relapse, those are off the table. We've

1752
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 13: already come in with the best of the best and

1753
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,799
Speaker 13: it didn't work. So we're losing our children, not because

1754
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 13: of the cancer, we're losing our children because we don't

1755
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 13: have the resources to cure them. So listeners, please, if

1756
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 13: I can just ask of anything, if it's not a

1757
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 13: matter of supporting Kel's angels, just support pediatric cancer as

1758
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 13: a whole.

1759
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 14: We need to end this madness.

1760
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: I tell you. You know, sometimes there's a debate amongst

1761
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: the moms and dads. Well, you always will hear a

1762
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 1: mom say well, as a mom and dads are kind

1763
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 1: of like you'll get an eye roll. But there's no

1764
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 1: better advocate than a mother who's gone through or a

1765
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 1: stepmom that's gone through what you've gone through. And you

1766
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 1: are a wonderful advocate. And I love what you do.

1767
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, and I'm sorry for your family's loss. But

1768
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, may his memory be a blessing and lets

1769
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: let's make something good come of this.

1770
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 13: Okay, I love it, and I hope to see you

1771
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 13: February twenty eighth.

1772
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 1: We will put this out there on the socials for you,

1773
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: and we'll make this thing just just bang harder than ever.

1774
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:09,920
Speaker 14: All right, Thank you so much.

1775
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:14,759
Speaker 1: Eight fifty five at WLSAMA ninety and cho little cloudy

1776
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: out there, but it's like a blanket of warmth keeping

1777
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: us a little warmer today, Nick, some of this so

1778
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 1: cold weather is going to go away. I was listening

1779
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: to somebody in Chicago yesterday and they were asking a

1780
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 1: meteorologist if a winter was over. This is somebody that's

1781
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: been in the market for a while, if a winter's over.

1782
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: And I thought, well, wow, it's the it's the third

1783
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: of February. What are you stupid? Now, Winter's not over.

1784
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 9: No, it's my lunch.

1785
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 1: I remember going and watching my daughter play baseball, you know, softball, sorry, softball.

1786
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: And you know it's early May and it's still snowing

1787
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:51,679
Speaker 1: around here. Check yourself. It's going to be okay. But yeah,

1788
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 1: but a little bit nicer than it's been. I just

1789
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 1: need a little bit of you know, I love snow,

1790
01:29:56,439 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 1: but I need a little bit of rain to wash

1791
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: this salt off the roads, because I tell you, I

1792
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: can't breathe going down the street. Really, it's the cars

1793
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 1: go down the street. It looks like a comet is

1794
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: behind them when all the AsSalt off the road through

1795
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 1: the trail. A couple of text messages here three one

1796
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: two nine hundred, Laura Fine, Ray that you talked of

1797
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 1: is running for Congress. That's right, she's running for jan

1798
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: Schakowski seat, and we were talking about the Senator Laura

1799
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:29,000
Speaker 1: Fine because she's talking about blocking anybody that worked for

1800
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 1: ICE or Homeland Security to being a not allowed to

1801
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 1: be a police officer in the state of Illinois. In

1802
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 1: a time when real Illinois communities face real challenges, including

1803
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: staffing shortages in police departments and rising demands for safer streets,

1804
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:52,679
Speaker 1: this bill excludes highly trained, qualified professionals what she does,

1805
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: and you can't do that. It's called discrimination. Now, if

1806
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,639
Speaker 1: you look on her website where she is running for

1807
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: a seat, she's talking about how Washington has failed Illinois.

1808
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. Illinois has failed Illinois. It

1809
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: is just ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, one move after the next.

1810
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the money that Juliana Stratton has

1811
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,840
Speaker 1: got thrown into her account from who's that big donor

1812
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 1: we have here in Illinois. He's the big guy, the

1813
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 1: big guy Nick what's his name, what's his name?

1814
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 11: Police?

1815
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 1: Five million dollars, five million dollars into her campaign. Really,

1816
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:35,640
Speaker 1: I thought there was a cap on what kind of

1817
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 1: money you could throw into somebody's personal campaign like that.

1818
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 1: But she's talking about you know how a police is bad.

1819
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: We need to do We need to defund the police.

1820
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: We need to make sure that we have twenty five

1821
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 1: dollars in our minimum security and a minimum wage. And

1822
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to know how how we pay for all

1823
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 1: of that with people leaving this state in droves out.

1824
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: Speaking of security, we haven't talked about this a lot,

1825
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 1: but I've been paying a close attention to the story

1826
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 1: of Savannah Guthrie's mom is a This is odd, and

1827
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 1: it's odd, and it's disturbing. Yeah, and there's a couple

1828
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 1: of things that make it odd to me. One, she

1829
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:20,959
Speaker 1: was out with her daughter the night before her abduction.

1830
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: They interviewed her daughter yesterday. This is the Pima County

1831
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office, who they're still the lead in this investigation.

1832
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 1: They can't recall what mom was wearing at dinner, which

1833
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:35,600
Speaker 1: strikes me as odd because I can tell you I

1834
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 1: took my mom to a doctor's appointment yesterday, and I

1835
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:39,719
Speaker 1: can tell you right down to the stitch of clothing

1836
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: to what her shoes look like. Sure, and I'm not

1837
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 1: saying there's anything nefarious there, but I think when it

1838
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: comes to elderly Americans and I'm dealing with this each

1839
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 1: and every day, and especially a strong willed woman that

1840
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: does not want to live in my house, does not

1841
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: want to live with my sister, but she wants to

1842
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: live on her own. She doesn't know the amount of

1843
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 1: security cameras I have set up to watch her. Sometimes

1844
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 1: I see things that I can un see, but I

1845
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 1: know what's going on in that house. And maybe we

1846
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 1: should talk to somebody about that. How do you keep

1847
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: elderly folks safe? Because our listeners are going through what

1848
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: you and I are going through. Nick, right, you're going

1849
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: through problems with ear pops. I'm going through some issues

1850
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 1: with my mom, but she still can drive live on

1851
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,840
Speaker 1: her own, and she wants to. She only wants to

1852
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,800
Speaker 1: be here for an infinite amount of time before she

1853
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 1: goes back up to northern Wisconsin and gets in another

1854
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: fight with a casino pit boss. But that might be

1855
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 1: something we have to talk about. Make sure you've got

1856
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: the ring doorbells of the nest cams or whatever on

1857
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: and pay the fee to do the monitoring. But in

1858
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:45,560
Speaker 1: this instance where Savannah Guthrie's mom Ma Rita is, it's

1859
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 1: kind of wooded and cactus and brush and things like that,

1860
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 1: and it's just hard to see it. It's just a

1861
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 1: sad story. Got to look after each other, especially the

1862
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: old folks.
