[SPEAKER_11]: Well, good afternoon.
6:53
[SPEAKER_11]: You're what it all.
6:53
[SPEAKER_11]: I am Jeff Graham.
6:54
[SPEAKER_11]: This is the online on the sunny Friday.
6:56
[SPEAKER_11]: Nice day.
6:57
[SPEAKER_11]: We await that nor Easter weather.
6:58
[SPEAKER_11]: That'll bring us a little rain next week.
7:00
[SPEAKER_11]: But for right now, it looks like pretty good weather.
7:02
[SPEAKER_11]: We were down.
7:03
[SPEAKER_11]: I heard in the 20s in some areas this morning, but we expect to find her 60 today.
7:08
[SPEAKER_11]: So that should be a Primal weather to end the week here in the hotline.
7:14
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I was listening to Diana news.
7:19
[SPEAKER_11]: And she was telling me about this silver out of truck, up in the Malone area, reported stole it.
7:28
[SPEAKER_11]: So the police went after it and they found it, going down the road, and they were able to get it to pull over, and it's a 12-year-old, they said, was driving it.
7:41
[SPEAKER_11]: A 12-year-old, and it's the report on TV news said they wrote him several tickets.
7:47
[SPEAKER_11]: What are we going to do with all those tickets?
7:52
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, points on his license, he didn't have a license.
7:54
[SPEAKER_11]: He's used away from having one.
7:56
[SPEAKER_11]: Why would you write him a bunch of tickets?
8:00
[SPEAKER_11]: He might write, you want to find out how we got a hold of the vehicle.
8:06
[SPEAKER_11]: But they loved your right tickets.
8:07
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
8:09
[SPEAKER_11]: Love the right tickets.
8:11
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh boy, what's going on here?
8:13
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, did you hear the attorney general is one of six people elected statewide in New York?
8:18
[SPEAKER_11]: She's the chief legal officer of the state.
8:21
[SPEAKER_11]: She was indicted yesterday on mortgage fraud, apparently.
8:26
[SPEAKER_11]: making claims in a mortgage application that weren't true now you know you can say well that's no big deal everybody does that but she is a no person above the law and uh... i don't know if you heard about it because it really a lot of people up here don't know who the attorney general is i mean frankly remember when she visited clay lately and none of the news media even covered it yeah exactly uh... anybody go to that scott gray event last night over garland city
8:56
[SPEAKER_11]: No, the $500 or $500 a person, you know, and that's what leads me to believe things.
9:02
[SPEAKER_11]: And I know we deal in speculation, but as the Fred Dicker of Watertown, I'm able to do that.
9:09
[SPEAKER_11]: And so anyway, I'm looking at that, I'm saying $500.
9:16
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a lot for an assembly candidate who's currently on a post.
9:21
[SPEAKER_11]: So, and then we'd look at last week he was down on the southern border in Arizona.
9:25
[SPEAKER_11]: That's kind of unusual for an assemblyman.
9:27
[SPEAKER_11]: And then he wasn't DC the week before, with time home and at the White House, he may have had a brief meeting with the president.
9:32
[SPEAKER_11]: We don't know.
9:33
[SPEAKER_11]: And when you ask him, is he running for Congress?
9:38
[SPEAKER_11]: He just says, hello, hello, or the seat.
9:41
[SPEAKER_11]: There's no open seat or something like that.
9:43
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, if you're not running, the answer is no.
9:46
[SPEAKER_11]: So we have to assume he is, or at least strongly considering it.
9:50
[SPEAKER_11]: And all the Republicans, the protocol is the polite thing to do.
9:53
[SPEAKER_11]: They have to say there's no open seat, because there's tenying one and symphonic in the other, but a week or a month from now, when symphonic announces for governor, there is an open seat.
10:03
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
10:05
[SPEAKER_11]: So then maybe these people will answer the question more fourth rightly.
10:10
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
10:10
[SPEAKER_11]: But we do expect him to be running for the Congress.
10:14
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
10:16
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, somebody taxi in the parents will pay the tickets.
10:19
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess, or I don't know.
10:22
[SPEAKER_11]: Does the kid have to go to town court up there?
10:24
[SPEAKER_11]: Nah, he eats me, I don't know if he was old.
10:29
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
10:33
[SPEAKER_11]: You have to pay court fees and all that.
10:35
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, something isn't it?
10:39
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, let's see.
10:39
[SPEAKER_11]: It's the electricity back on and that building the vehicle yesterday, I think it is.
10:46
[SPEAKER_11]: one of the businesses did have a generator was able to stay on all the businesses that to close you know it was a sushi place what do you do with sushi in no electricity sell it quick i don't i don't really know much about sushi do and uh... there's a chinese food place i think they had a generator is a tanning place and they uh... spoke shot so
11:14
[SPEAKER_11]: All impacted by that.

[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if they've repaired the whole yet in seeing anything on the news about it What anybody been by there is the whole repaired it's the brick building on the corner of arsenal and massive very prominent building You stay have spiraling furniture and you have a tire thing many many years ago there Okay, I don't nobody knows You people don't get out much do you Let's see
11:46
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, let's see.
11:48
[SPEAKER_11]: He did do do do do do.
11:53
[SPEAKER_11]: Is that a text in?
11:58
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, here's somebody who says his brother went last night.
12:00
[SPEAKER_11]: The big $500 ticket said he had a great time, and that gray is running.
12:06
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, there we go.
12:09
[SPEAKER_11]: The building is boarded up, but the businesses are open.
12:11
[SPEAKER_11]: That's good to hear.
12:16
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, yeah, so anyway, this person texted in, said their brother went to the grave at a garland city paid to $500.
12:29
[SPEAKER_11]: And there was also a fundraising letter that a lot of people got this morning, including me.
12:35
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, and this person said, gray is running.
12:41
[SPEAKER_11]: So we take, we take this call or it is word.
12:46
[SPEAKER_11]: another person said they went by the buildings today they were working on it so yeah i don't know what they're going to do you already got a hole there would be good time to put a door in extra door window like a picture window or something um... or you could just break it back up uh... i think i put a window in as long as i already had the bricks out of the way maybe a good idea frame right up
13:17
[SPEAKER_11]: And then it won't match, and people will say, that's where that person drove through.
13:20
[SPEAKER_11]: Now.
13:23
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a raid on Emerson Street last night, some guy, and they took a gun away from it.
13:27
[SPEAKER_11]: He had a 30 round magazine to go with his gun.
13:30
[SPEAKER_11]: Can't have that in Kathy Oklos, New York.
13:33
[SPEAKER_11]: No, sir, we don't drugstake in according to the press accounts.
13:39
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, if you've got the reason he probably lost his gun is because he talked about it too much.
13:46
[SPEAKER_11]: don't tell people you have it that'll be that forty-nine-year-old man arrested there uh... fire down a hudson river rafting company on nul street i didn't know there was anything still in that place i think it was condemned anyway so maybe the fire was a mercy killing i don't know could be could be senator truck shumer says the government shut down every day it goes on is is better for us
14:18

14:29
[SPEAKER_11]: Those people, it's not good for them.
14:30
[SPEAKER_11]: A Chuck Schumer says every day it goes on is a good day for the Democrats.
14:37
[SPEAKER_11]: Isn't that some unism?
14:41
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't expect that's going to change the opinion of two of our callers, so I'm not going to, you know, get into that.
14:46
[SPEAKER_11]: Three of us at Count John.
14:50
[SPEAKER_11]: But still, that's something.

24:15
[SPEAKER_11]: I know that's not a great answer, you expect something to say, well, someone's always going to finish first and so on.
24:19
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know who's going to finish first and second.
24:23
[SPEAKER_11]: I really don't.
24:26
[UNKNOWN]: Hmm.

24:54
[SPEAKER_11]: The only thing that bothers me is when she says things like you too mailed to pale and too stale as to old white men, because I just don't think
25:06
[SPEAKER_11]: any aspect of New York State government, all of these agencies from D.O.L.
25:11
[SPEAKER_11]: to the human rights division to all of that stuff, I don't really think they gotten too well to old white males, they don't like them.
25:20
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, so just got in tight ahead, maybe it's nitpicking over a mortgage application, who hasn't lied, everybody lies on those, right?
25:35

26:01
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I listen to the council meeting the other night we're talking about the other day.
26:04
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's, um, they should have moved ahead with the demolition of all of the properties in question.
26:09
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, but why would you want to maybe he could call in?
26:12
[SPEAKER_16]: What's the point of keeping the garage on by the understand?

26:37
[SPEAKER_16]: I was putting everything on hold.

26:44
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, you take people on West Main Street, people on Rutland Street where that big fire was.
26:57
[SPEAKER_11]: And then there's the, you know, the house of horrors down on coffins for people want that down.

28:12
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
28:12
[SPEAKER_16]: It was an option.
28:13
[SPEAKER_16]: It was some climate change.
28:15
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
28:17
[SPEAKER_11]: Can you believe down in Virginia and the
28:22

28:47
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, it's super delicate call, I didn't tell me I'm wrong, but I don't think I'll hold my breath on that.
28:53
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
28:54
[SPEAKER_16]: There's a lot of whack-drop city stuff going on, but... different world.
29:03
[SPEAKER_16]: A lot of problems with social media is a big problem in this country, Mary, but, you know, I know a lot of people disagree with that, but we had these issues we had for social media came in the play, you know?
29:14
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
29:15
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
29:16
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
29:17
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
29:17
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
29:18
[SPEAKER_11]: I know.
29:19
[SPEAKER_11]: Good to hear from the angry man.
29:20
[SPEAKER_11]: Didn't get too angry today.
29:21
[SPEAKER_11]: That's good.
29:21
[SPEAKER_11]: He's calmed down.
29:22
[SPEAKER_11]: He's mellow.
29:23
[SPEAKER_11]: He's whatever.
29:24
[SPEAKER_11]: Whatever.
29:26
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know.
29:27
[SPEAKER_11]: Um... Let's see.
29:31
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got... Do you think you can move?
29:35
[SPEAKER_11]: Or Fox News just pushes that turning point.
29:37
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't they?
29:39
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
29:40
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, wait a minute.
29:40
[SPEAKER_11]: I got... I think we got some news from an important political figure.
29:47
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, the life-saver, Mayor Ron McDougall says, yes, a nice crowd, GOP, and some dams other than me, several union reps.
29:57
[SPEAKER_11]: Congressional Ron, question mark, not at Liberty to comment at this time.
30:01
[SPEAKER_11]: So I was told by someone who went to the $500 event.
30:06
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess the Mayor McDougall went to the $150 per couple event.
30:12
[SPEAKER_11]: So I guess they had a good crowd there.
30:17
[SPEAKER_11]: Hmm, but after do you're on the air I'm here.
30:21
[SPEAKER_18]: How are you today?
30:22
[SPEAKER_11]: You're all right, what's up?
30:23
[SPEAKER_18]: I just wanted to shed a little light on what the angry man was talking about.
30:27
[SPEAKER_13]: Mm-hmm.
30:28
[SPEAKER_18]: Just regarding a man made climate change.
30:31
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
30:32
[SPEAKER_18]: It's only been a bit over a century that we've kept track of temperature.
30:36
[SPEAKER_18]: That we've been able to log with the temperature was that we were able to
30:41
[SPEAKER_18]: to detect what the temperature is going to be in the future.
30:45
[SPEAKER_18]: We've never been able to tell where it was in the past.
30:47
[SPEAKER_18]: There's no way to know that.
30:49
[SPEAKER_18]: So he's correct on that.
30:51
[SPEAKER_18]: There is a climate change, though.
30:53
[SPEAKER_18]: And it's because climate always changes.
30:56
[SPEAKER_18]: But as far as a man making it, there are things California say there is smog.
31:00
[SPEAKER_18]: Well, is that the climate that they're talking about or are we talking about that you're going to make it rain?
31:04
[SPEAKER_18]: Or are we going to talk about the temperature changing?
31:07
[SPEAKER_18]: It's a very vague thing.
31:08
[SPEAKER_18]: And the goalpost keeps moving all the time.
31:13
[SPEAKER_18]: Well, he was correct on that and he didn't get angry, which was kind of nice, probably good for his blood pressure.
31:17
[SPEAKER_18]: Hopefully he did a bomb that might, I think we determined that would help him out.
31:21
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay.
31:21
[SPEAKER_18]: The other thing in here is, I hear Danny called a little bit, but he doesn't seem to really be all upset about the government shutting down, because his people wanted to shut down now.
31:31
[SPEAKER_18]: Have you noticed that?
31:33
[SPEAKER_18]: He was, he was dead set against the government shutting down last time.
31:37
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
31:37
[SPEAKER_18]: You and I, that makes no difference to going to shut down.
31:41
[SPEAKER_18]: It worked for a contract, it worked for the government.
31:44
[SPEAKER_18]: They, everyone, she knew, couldn't wait for the government shut down, because they knew what they all got paid.
31:48
[SPEAKER_18]: Now, if you're really living paycheck to paycheck, it might be a little bit of an inconvenience, but for the most part, everybody looks at it as vacation.
31:56
[SPEAKER_18]: There's no losers in this situation, unless this time around the administration says, hey, we didn't need these people for 30 days, we don't need them at all.
32:05
[SPEAKER_18]: That would be the only fear, but don't you find it strange that
32:08
[SPEAKER_18]: Danny, every single time there's been a government shutdown that I've remembered that the supposedly the Republicans were behind it.
32:15
[SPEAKER_18]: He has got set against it.
32:16
[SPEAKER_18]: He'll come up with his list, and you can hear him turning the pages in his head of all the reasons that it's bad.
32:21
[SPEAKER_18]: But he doesn't seem to think it's bad if you do.
32:24
[SPEAKER_11]: But I know, I mean, it's like Senator Schumer said it.
32:27
[SPEAKER_11]: Every day it goes on, it's good for us.
32:30
[SPEAKER_18]: Yeah, it's just one of those things where, and everybody you get laid off because of it, they all get repaid.
32:37
[SPEAKER_18]: I don't think there's any situation where someone doesn't get their back pay.
32:42
[SPEAKER_18]: I can't ever think of there's ever been anything on that.
32:45
[SPEAKER_18]: And this thing would like to air traffic controllers calling in sick or calling out or whatever these kids call it now.
32:51
[SPEAKER_18]: Everyone that does that should just be fired.
32:53
[SPEAKER_18]: That should be over and done.
32:54
[SPEAKER_18]: There should be no no to raise about it.
32:57
[SPEAKER_18]: Surgeons can't call in sick.
32:59
[SPEAKER_18]: Fireman can't call in sick.
33:00
[SPEAKER_18]: I mean you can't if you're really sick.
33:01
[SPEAKER_18]: You can't use it as a bargaining point because you're an important person.
33:05
[SPEAKER_18]: If you can't live up to be that important person, we'll just go on and get some other job where you don't really have to be there.
33:11
[SPEAKER_18]: And then you can call them sick all you want.
33:13
[SPEAKER_18]: I just, I don't stow to agree with the way the world is.
33:15
[SPEAKER_11]: What about the, what about the 12-year-old who got all the traffic tickets?
33:20
[SPEAKER_18]: I didn't hear anything about that.
33:21
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know where you got to listen.
33:24
[SPEAKER_18]: What was it I?
33:24
[SPEAKER_11]: I heard on the news, I'm reading the press release in the state police right now.
33:31
[SPEAKER_11]: A 12-year-old boy from Malone.
33:33

34:02
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, no one's above the line, yes.
34:04

[SPEAKER_30]: And I will work tirelessly.
38:05
[SPEAKER_30]: to advocate for the taxpayers who are already burdened with perpetual cost increases.
38:09
[SPEAKER_30]: I love this city, and that's why I can't emphasize enough how critical this upcoming election is because it will determine the course of water tones future.
38:16
[SPEAKER_30]: As a probation officer and former child productive services case worker, I am intimately aware of our community's needs.
38:21
[SPEAKER_30]: I understand the necessity of responsiveness, public outreach, collaboration and communication.
38:25
[SPEAKER_30]: because I practiced them daily.
38:27
[SPEAKER_30]: With almost a decade of public service combined with my education and public policy, I believe I have what it takes to confront our challenges and make the tough decisions.
38:34
[SPEAKER_30]: I hope to earn your vote on November 4th, 8-4 by Doug Osborne for WaterDone.
38:54
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, good afternoon.
38:55

39:22
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, OK, and he's against it now.
39:24
[SPEAKER_09]: All the light and now is on the other avenue.

39:39
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, can I call the college?
39:40
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.

39:47
[SPEAKER_09]: Thanks for the info.
39:48
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, bye now.
39:49
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, that's a shocker that the monsters who run colleges would allow a pro-life person end to speak.
39:55
[SPEAKER_11]: Good for them up there if they did, but I'm sure that would never be allowed at certain long, shoot-a-verse, or SUNY PAUX, or any of those places, but yeah, that guy's going to speak Saturday.
40:11
[SPEAKER_11]: See, Mrs. Trump was out this morning and I would say some kind of breakthrough with Russians to try to reunite abducted Ukrainian children with families, but for her, she's working on that.
40:22
[SPEAKER_11]: And she looks good at the podium there, my God.
40:28
[SPEAKER_11]: And if we had a president who looked like that, instead of sleepy Joe, old Donald, all of that, you know.
40:40
[SPEAKER_11]: apparently eight Ukrainian children have been reunited with their families and she's been having talks with Putin himself well there you go uh... seven five five twelve forty are phone number if you'd like to be on the air today show shows and uh... i did get somebody yesterday i was talking to somebody i thought a crazy way in a sister stop by
41:05
[SPEAKER_11]: And they just come from the DMV, and they had nothing but praise for the DMV and how nicely they were treated and helpful the people were.
41:13
[SPEAKER_11]: They had their appointment there.
41:14
[SPEAKER_11]: They got the appointment same day.
41:15
[SPEAKER_11]: But, you know, everybody always grabs on the DMV and I just want, you know, crazy way and it's sister had a great experience in her yesterday.
41:23
[SPEAKER_11]: And so we put that out there for what it's worth.
41:26
[SPEAKER_11]: There's some kind of election for county clerk, our good friend, Giselle, me, she's got an opponent.
41:32
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't even know what the race is about.
41:34
[SPEAKER_11]: I talk to somebody of Channel 7.
41:35
[SPEAKER_11]: They said, yeah, I think we heard about something like it.
41:38
[SPEAKER_11]: Even the news meeting doesn't know what's going on.
41:40
[SPEAKER_11]: So I don't.
41:43
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't.
41:44
[SPEAKER_11]: Ladies, pull out from the city of New York.
41:46
[SPEAKER_11]: It's 300 miles away.
41:47
[SPEAKER_11]: I acknowledge that in many of you don't care.
41:49
[SPEAKER_11]: But Mom Dommie is up, 4633.
41:52
[SPEAKER_11]: This is the first post.
41:54
[SPEAKER_11]: Eric Adams, departure poll, 13 point lead.
41:57
[SPEAKER_11]: Hard to imagine, Mom Dommie,
42:03
[SPEAKER_11]: and sleeve was still pulling at 15%.
42:07
[SPEAKER_11]: I suppose if sleeve was, I don't know if he just said, I don't know how many, most of the people voting for sleeve are just rock wibbly publicans.
42:17
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know how many of them would vote for Chroma, or whatever, if he said, don't vote for me.
42:23
[SPEAKER_11]: So I'm not sure if that'd be effective anyway, but you know, what do you want, my dad?
42:27
[SPEAKER_11]: I say, put mom, dummy in there.
42:31
[SPEAKER_11]: because it's going to, I think that helps to find x campaign next year.
42:37
[SPEAKER_11]: Not calling him common mom to army.
42:39
[SPEAKER_11]: No stop that nonsense.
42:41
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm talking about the local endorsement and the likely crazy policies that he's going to be advocating very early in his administration.
42:50
[SPEAKER_11]: And the crazy people he's going to put in charge of things.
42:53
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
42:55
[SPEAKER_11]: I think he's going to report
42:58
[SPEAKER_11]: bad bunny is police commissioner or something like that.
43:01
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know, but we'll see what he does once he's off his.
43:06
[SPEAKER_11]: But definitely, mom, Dami is better than, you know, for at least to find it next year.
43:15
[SPEAKER_11]: If she plays it right, if she plays it right, but you know, sometimes the people that you get advice from, you know, that's just crazy
43:29
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, people don't call people commies anymore.
43:34
[SPEAKER_11]: That's 1960s.
43:36
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it's over, but that area is over.
43:38
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm up for something else.
43:40
[SPEAKER_11]: Marksists, they're Marksists.
43:42
[SPEAKER_11]: Commie doesn't mean anything.
43:43
[SPEAKER_11]: What's the mean?
43:44
[SPEAKER_11]: Ask a quarter-waters on high school.
43:45
[SPEAKER_11]: Ask anybody in the, I'm standing on the map.
43:47
[SPEAKER_11]: What's the commie in the, oh, can I have some dooby?
43:51
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, that's all you're gonna hear.

[SPEAKER_11]: We're back back on the outline air.
48:31
[SPEAKER_11]: Just quite a few minutes to go before one again Yeah, first of all, Tisch James is doing fundraising now online off of her indictment there That's what usually politicians do They take it something and try to do fundraising and there's people who give her money for it Nobody up here, but there are people.
48:50
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I don't know what um I guess I
48:54
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not a really aware story up here.
48:56
[SPEAKER_11]: I was talking to, I texted a local prominent newsman, I know about it, and he said, who's just James?
49:02
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, well, OK.
49:05
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't see anything on the news on it.
49:07
[SPEAKER_11]: But so anyway, this thing with the staple lease in this 12-year-old who stole the vehicle or took the vehicle, I mean, there may be some action here to take against a parent.
49:17
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know what the backstory is on it.
49:20
[SPEAKER_11]: But it's just that he was also issued vehicle and traffic tickets is there a minimum age that which troopers will not write you a ticket.
49:28
[SPEAKER_11]: In other words, if your nine years old will write a ticket or seven or what's the minimum age which troopers stop writing ticket traffic tickets?
49:37
[SPEAKER_11]: It's in a state police press release, Brandy Ashley is the PAO up there and true B. So it's not I'm not making this up, but I'm just wondering is there any cops in the audience out there?
49:47
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sure, Stephanie, city police, state police, is there a minimum of my age at which you stop writing traffic tickets?
49:56
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, if you see a kid,
50:00
[SPEAKER_11]: Sitting in a car, it's parked in the meter ran out or something to you right the kid to take it.
50:07
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know.
50:08
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know what you do.
50:09
[SPEAKER_11]: I just wanted to at 12.
50:10
[SPEAKER_11]: I just never heard of 12-year-olds being written tickets, but I guess I guess they do that.
50:14
[SPEAKER_11]: It's part of Kathy Hockel, her tough love, tough love from Kathy Hockel.
50:20
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, school tax bills came in the mail today.
50:23
[SPEAKER_11]: One word to remember, you got.
50:26
[SPEAKER_11]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
50:28
[SPEAKER_14]: I believe 12 is that magic number you're looking for like you can't leave your kids alone without babysitter until it's 12 so I mean that's okay so an 11 year old would not get tickets.
50:40
[SPEAKER_14]: I would think not because I was there alone and I was supposed to be at least that's what the law was.
50:46
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know if it changed my kids have been growing up for a while now so that's always what it was when they were growing up as 12 is the so the fact that this kid
50:55
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... to you know took probably the families uh... silver out of truck which a twelve year old getting uh... big truck like that going as something the parents aren't in trouble on the state that the kid will bear all the brunt of it right well i mean parents are up there part in it too but the kids they have to find the kid because you know another twelve year old taken a car for a baby
51:23
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, okay.
51:24
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I just wanted to make sure.
51:25
[SPEAKER_11]: So a kid's down as the youngest 12 can be written traffic to speeding tickets or anything else.
51:32
[SPEAKER_14]: I believe that would make sense.
51:34
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, okay.
51:35
[SPEAKER_14]: You know, that's the number they said.
51:37
[SPEAKER_14]: Now, I, I, this is a topsy-turvy world.
51:41
[SPEAKER_14]: Margaret Taylor Green is starting to make some good points.
51:45
[SPEAKER_14]: And I agree with the angry man that the internet is a mess.
51:49
[SPEAKER_14]: It needs some
51:50
[SPEAKER_14]: and he's the wild wild west of these to be reigned in to people know what is the truth and what isn't the truth you know like the glp and put that or guy they put up all these horrible pictures of portland how it was and they were pictures from south america and uh... well listen i tell you uh... truck shumer says every day the truck down goes on is better for us us being a democrats
52:18
[SPEAKER_14]: to retire for a while, myself, so you're not getting any arguments with me.
52:23
[SPEAKER_14]: That's stupid thing to say.
52:25
[SPEAKER_14]: But it is.
52:27
[SPEAKER_14]: Republicans have been trying to take health care away since Obama pay was passed.
52:31
[SPEAKER_14]: And this was just another way to try to do that.
52:33
[SPEAKER_14]: And everybody that watch what your health insurance is going to do if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if what they want, if they want, if they want, if they want, if they want, if they want, if they want to, if they want, if they want, if they want, if they want, if they want, if they want
52:45
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know the can afford power bills either.
52:47
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, well, thank you so much there.
52:49
[SPEAKER_11]: I got to go.
52:50
[SPEAKER_11]: Good afternoon around the air.
52:52
[SPEAKER_15]: Hey, Jeff.
52:53
[SPEAKER_15]: Are you an internet warrior?
52:55
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I'm not.
52:57
[SPEAKER_15]: You're not.
52:57
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
52:58
[SPEAKER_15]: Huh, so Todd says he's going to be going after the media in these internet warriors are making the school look bad.
53:07
[SPEAKER_15]: What's all that about?
53:08
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, the union president.
53:09
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know.
53:11
[SPEAKER_11]: I know the
53:14
[SPEAKER_11]: the you know the fuss about the art teacher didn't come from me uh... but uh... it's an interesting news story in the mainstream media has reported on it i don't think goes to internet warriors i don't know i mean i i think but mr. Todd may want to consider is be more circumspect about what his membership posts on the internet like those things about well-charny clerk or whatever uh...
53:41
[SPEAKER_11]: We're meant to put in that teacher's aid be called an internet warrior as well as to Todd.
53:45
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
53:46
[SPEAKER_15]: So, you know, yeah, I think there's a whole thing with Tuesday night's meeting was a clear declaration that this is a walk war that is being fought and it's being fought right in the water town, right at the school, this thing is been going on because we've been talking, this has been a topic of
54:10
[SPEAKER_13]: All I remember Sure, we've talked about all this type of stuff being taught in school.
54:15
[SPEAKER_15]: The cat litter boxes and all that.
54:18
[SPEAKER_15]: Talk about that stuff for years, okay?
54:20
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, they claim that's not true, incidently.
54:23
[SPEAKER_15]: So, just... Well, you have these guys back there as a corner.
54:26
[SPEAKER_15]: All right?
54:26
[SPEAKER_15]: We should, we should... Every medium town should be hitting me.
54:30
[SPEAKER_15]: It's the super intended of, but all these teachers and interviewers saying what's really going on in this classroom.
54:36
[SPEAKER_15]: All right, because...
54:38
[SPEAKER_15]: That was really going on and what Mr. Town had to say on Tuesday night was a clear indication that won't messes being introduced to the children.
54:47
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't understand the purpose of that meeting.
54:50
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't understand the purpose of wearing black and wearing buttons.
54:53
[SPEAKER_11]: I know they talk about solidarity.
54:55
[SPEAKER_13]: The library story.
54:56
[SPEAKER_13]: Did you hear that?
54:57
[SPEAKER_11]: What's in the library now?
54:59
[SPEAKER_15]: So he talked about the libraries that he put out on everybody's lawns.
55:04
[SPEAKER_15]: He was a little like, uh,
55:06
[SPEAKER_15]: little library is out in someone's yard no i never saw him but go ahead while i guess there's one where there's a few he has one in front of his house he says someone broke the door off at six times over the years so he started his statement with a library with talking about something analyzing is the book library that he puts out in front of his house okay what what does that have to do with anything about these two teachers for two is a night
55:35
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I didn't get garnered the significance of that whole session they had over there with the school board.
55:42
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, it was built as discussing a matter of grave importance.
55:46
[SPEAKER_11]: And I didn't think anything of grave importance was discussed.
55:50
[SPEAKER_15]: He was very kind of said in the body.
55:51
[SPEAKER_15]: He's like, how does one person speaking at a meeting warrant the news?
55:56
[SPEAKER_15]: How is that?
55:58
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, it's kind of important because it's got the whole community's attention.
56:07
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, well, they live in a world where everything isn't, you know, kept secret and so on, and they don't feel they should have to be accounted for.
56:15
[SPEAKER_15]: Gotta keep the foot on the gas pedal, Jeff, we got to keep the media after them and want to go kind to those doors and want the corner silence that we can't let them do that.
56:24
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
56:25
[SPEAKER_15]: Just step it up.
56:27
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, don't look for that to happen, but still, well, the internet warns you're the same to be doing a great job.
56:33
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
56:34
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I don't know, I will see.
56:37
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, all right.
56:38
