[SPEAKER_08]: And up the street.
7:41
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we don't want Natalie Brand is our lead story.

8:18
[SPEAKER_08]: But you never know, maybe just satisfaction.
8:21
[SPEAKER_08]: I'd like what Russ said the other day, Governor, Mom, Dami, and Lieutenant Governor, Hockel.
8:28
[SPEAKER_08]: They'd be smart to run that in some commercials.
8:29
[SPEAKER_11]: They didn't have, they didn't have no, no, no, no, no, they actually were just right.
8:33
[SPEAKER_08]: It's meant to be satire.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's like these people always complaining about an AI image of, it depends on how you portrayed if it's a gross distortion or smear or something,
8:49
[SPEAKER_08]: If it's meant to be satire, or whatever, or a characterization of the person, that's okay.
8:55
[SPEAKER_08]: But anyway, so Blake, when you haven't heard of him, he's not, we haven't seen him in water town.
9:04
[SPEAKER_08]: Whatever.
9:05
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, out in the eye of what the Badger's State.
9:08
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, there's a story that may be diverted, quite a bit.
9:11
[SPEAKER_08]: Kind of an important story, not who Governor, but this guy named Crowley, who the hell is?
9:17
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know, we quit the race for governor, the primary in July because it looked like Francisco Hong was going to win and he came back and beat her last night, the Democrats smeared her pretty good, oh she can't win, oh yeah, and of course the
9:38
[SPEAKER_08]: Republican spent four million trying to promote her candidacy because they wanted to win.
9:44
[SPEAKER_08]: But once that news gets out, it makes Democrats skittish because they want control.
9:47
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't care who it is.
9:49
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, they wouldn't care if Jeff Graham was the new senator from Maine or something as long as I caucus with the Democrats.
10:00
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you know how it is.
10:02
[SPEAKER_08]: You want power.
10:03
[SPEAKER_08]: You don't care about the individual.
10:05
[SPEAKER_08]: They're just a placeholder like a piece on a chessboard.
10:12
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, anyway, the Millie trial, not going to be Friday, what happened there, why just this delayed is just this denied.
10:21
[SPEAKER_08]: And somebody in the mainstream media find out why the city is pushing this case, even if somebody got their feelings hurt or if someone was over emotional, they were all trying to save a life that night at Pete's.
10:36
[SPEAKER_08]: And I hit these people on my blogs and always, she's bad.
10:39
[SPEAKER_08]: She's going to be convicted of prison.
10:41
[SPEAKER_08]: And how much are you going to spend to try and redo it?
10:45
[SPEAKER_08]: When there's real criminals out there.
10:49
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
10:50
[SPEAKER_08]: There was another guy caught with a knife, or a report of a guy with a knife last night.

11:17
[SPEAKER_08]: So what?
11:20
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that's to me if I'm police chief, which guy for a bit, but I would just settle that quietly say well, you know Mrs Smith, the officer was upset, you know, and here's what
11:33
[SPEAKER_06]: blah, blah, blah, and talk of it, talk it out, you don't go in charge of it, something?
11:37
[SPEAKER_08]: With what?
11:39
[SPEAKER_08]: What are you going to do if you win?
11:41

[SPEAKER_08]: Let's see somebody text in the stadium is 20% on buttons.
21:16
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't care.
21:18
[SPEAKER_08]: Still affordability.
21:20
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a democratic state.
21:22
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a affordability.
21:23
[SPEAKER_08]: Is that word mean anything?
21:27
[SPEAKER_08]: Redden black.
21:27
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't really know this week's championship game.
21:30
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, you know who we got to get a hold of his Jim Reagan.
21:36
[SPEAKER_08]: I Got his phone number now I don't like to call them on it now, but
21:41
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, my regimen used to be editor at the journal up there, and now he's a county legislator, and he was going to get us a list of prominent people and say, oh, it's county, and he's one of them, I might add, because we love those people up there at WTK 92.7 in Ogden'sburg, and we know there's a lot of listening, they're just discovering us, because, you know, we weren't there before, but where they are now, I mean,
22:10
[SPEAKER_08]: You've got to change your habits, you know, people have habits, you know, and now that we're part of it, I'm sure there's a lot of people listening.
22:20
[SPEAKER_08]: Many people listening.
22:24
[SPEAKER_08]: Alrighty, seven, five, five.
22:25
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, we got a call.
22:26
[SPEAKER_08]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
22:29
[SPEAKER_18]: I'm here.
22:29
[SPEAKER_18]: How are you doing today?
22:30
[SPEAKER_08]: Good.
22:31
[SPEAKER_18]: I was listening to some talk radio the other day and you're describing our little city perfectly.
22:39
[SPEAKER_18]: it wasn't our city they're describing but there's many cities mirroring this right now hmmm we have is what they describe it as a feral drug addict problem not a homeless problem a feral drug addict problem and they've gone through and done the research and done everything involved that in the 90 percentile it's a drug addict that seems to be the homeless in the area that they're discussing it's probably the same thing here
23:06
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, there's a lot of bad things going on, yeah, but there's a lot of good things, I mean, you know.
23:12
[SPEAKER_18]: Well, you think that's a fair description though, a fair old drug addict.
23:15
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm probably.
23:18
[SPEAKER_18]: You know, probably what we've got going on.
23:19
[SPEAKER_18]: Hey, what do you think half of that whole red and black thing I read the scene that you did?
23:23
[SPEAKER_18]: Isn't that crazy that a whole team disassembled for a fight after they beat the team?
23:28
[SPEAKER_18]: 10 to 0 and You know, it doesn't sound like it's a little bit of a one-sided thing.
23:35
[SPEAKER_18]: You think that'll stand?
23:37
[SPEAKER_18]: I don't know, I mean, you know, what, people fight and all the time now, it's a regular thing, look at, look at women's basketball, that's all that is, not the fight now.
23:49
[SPEAKER_08]: What's a good thing.
23:50
[SPEAKER_08]: I like that.
23:51
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I mean, I enjoy watching a WNBA game, and especially if it's Indiana, there's a fan base now, they're making money, they're, they're portnasses in the seats, which is really the job of a, of a team owner.
24:05
[SPEAKER_18]: and am the team and i think it's a good thing well there there has been multiple uh... multiple candidates that have have gone in line that beyond the roster for next year for being picked up and they are meant we're now saying that there's been retired from basketball that the now female i think that's gonna little situation right out of control but i think that's where we're now we're gonna go with that i just think you know you got to make your choices and you had to make them
24:36
[SPEAKER_18]: the WMBA is a making me fast choices.
24:38
[SPEAKER_08]: No, they're kind of paralyzed or whatever by it, because they're trying to be woke, but whatever happened.
24:47
[SPEAKER_18]: If you took someone who might have been a hair above average in his peak and hasn't played in a lot of years, say like it done his rodman right now, and you put him on that core, he would dominate everything else.
24:56
[SPEAKER_08]: You know what?
24:57
[SPEAKER_08]: I was talking to John Moore, the other, John Moore is my expert on basketball, and he did
25:05
[SPEAKER_08]: Men's basketball team would beat a WNV-18 many time, but that doesn't matter.
25:10
[SPEAKER_08]: It's still entertaining.
25:12
[SPEAKER_08]: John said that he would be willing to play one-on-one with Sophie Cunningham.
25:18
[SPEAKER_08]: And I think that'd be a good thing.
25:23
[SPEAKER_08]: John could be like the, you know, you remember Bobby Riggs and Tennis.
25:28
[SPEAKER_08]: John could go one-on-one with Sophie and he could be the Bobby Riggs of basketball.
25:36
[SPEAKER_18]: That would make it interesting.
25:37
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
25:37
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
25:38
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, thank you.
25:39
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you, Peter.
25:40
[SPEAKER_08]: Can't go along with the tongue and cheek, that's, you know, whatever.
25:44
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, somebody put a news junkie, those platters out in front of Keybank, those are attractive aren't they?
25:49
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
25:53
[SPEAKER_08]: They left them in because they didn't want to spend the money to take them out because they didn't think about the fact that they were going in and some people wouldn't like them.
26:03
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
26:05
[SPEAKER_08]: Now there's another thing on news junkie.
26:07
[SPEAKER_08]: Should homeless people be sleeping in factory square park?
26:10
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's a sign of me that says, why not?
26:15
[SPEAKER_08]: That way the cops know where they are.
26:18
[SPEAKER_08]: And nobody lives down there.
26:19
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not affecting property values on the Kagwin Road or anything.
26:23
[SPEAKER_08]: So the laws are behaving.
26:27
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, you get that.
26:28
[SPEAKER_08]: Sometimes somebody comes in as for glass of water, something,
26:32
[SPEAKER_08]: May you try to be accommodating people, do you feel bad about it?
26:39
[SPEAKER_08]: So, I don't know.
26:43
[SPEAKER_08]: They just introduced Mr. Food on Channel 7's Nuncher.
26:50
[SPEAKER_08]: 755-1240, I've been waiting all day for the Mr. Food segment all day.
26:56
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, we'll see.
26:57
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
26:58
[SPEAKER_08]: Remember they put those planners in and it was a jake and Bobby were all upset about it and he were very upset, you know.
27:06
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I want to thank news junkie.
27:09
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, we had that ball being moved.
27:11
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know whether he's just trying to be a he-man or take it.
27:15
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't really care.
27:18
[SPEAKER_08]: It's property.
27:20
[SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, posted it on news drunk, and we knew within minutes who it was, you know, and if the guy was already on the blotter for another issue.
27:34
[SPEAKER_08]: So, that's good.
27:35
[SPEAKER_08]: I remember years ago, I had a sign for Yingling Brewery.
27:38
[SPEAKER_08]: I'd got it at the breweries, one of a kind, and not one of a kind, but it was pretty unusual Yingling logo and all that.
27:45
[SPEAKER_08]: And somebody took it.
27:46
[SPEAKER_08]: Of course, thank these.
27:49
[SPEAKER_08]: But they took it, and I was kind of feed off.
27:53
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, as a lot of people say, well, you shouldn't have allowed them to.
27:55
[SPEAKER_08]: It's your fault.
27:56
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't buy it, theft is theft.
28:00
[SPEAKER_08]: So, I happened to have a picture of it from one I bought it.
28:04
[SPEAKER_08]: A new junkie was nice enough to post it.
28:07
[SPEAKER_08]: And I wasn't too long after that.
28:08
[SPEAKER_08]: I was just sitting there, and a car pulled up out the side.
28:12
[SPEAKER_08]: I heard a door open, something got to put something on the porch there and took off.
28:16
[SPEAKER_08]: And I went out and there was my sign.
28:21
[SPEAKER_08]: dangerous to hold it because now everybody knew it was hot merchandise.
28:25
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, they'd see the sinus area.
28:26
[SPEAKER_08]: It's the sinus stole from the maridon.
28:29
[SPEAKER_08]: So, I don't know, a little bit of, uh, it's had detective work on our, I don't know, whatever it is.
28:38
[SPEAKER_08]: It is nice.
28:38
[SPEAKER_08]: Sometimes any sugar can be resolved that way.
28:42
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's a good thing.
28:44
[SPEAKER_08]: Especially when it's something
28:49
[SPEAKER_08]: entities getting involved with.
28:51
[SPEAKER_08]: Like somebody trying to tip over a ball or concrete ball, I don't think that's a public issue, really.
28:57
[SPEAKER_08]: I think you got to deal with that privately.
29:00
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, if somebody, you know, does horrible damage to your property or shoot somebody, yeah, you got to get a lawn valve.
29:08
[SPEAKER_08]: But there's a lot of things you just got to learn to handle on your own.
29:11
[SPEAKER_08]: And you're going to have to do more of that in the, you know, new world order.

[SPEAKER_08]: Nobody says to your bar allow people to conceal carry.
35:19
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't think you're supposed to in that setting.

41:58
[SPEAKER_08]: If you have outdoor receptacles with sand in them, before you get to maybe cleaning them out for the day's business, if people get there early, they pick through them and find the ones with.
42:09
[SPEAKER_08]: Still some life, gentlemen.
42:11

44:38
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
44:39
[SPEAKER_10]: Sure.
44:39
[SPEAKER_10]: Just to go back to the Hulkel Democrat liberal in the socialism now.
44:46
[SPEAKER_10]: Look for affordability, look at the shagraps as a perfect example.
44:53
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but to tax and tax and tax and electric bills, another perfect example, tax and tax and tax and tax.
45:00
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, look, look, look, I'm sitting here right now talking over a radio station and uses electricity to transmit.
45:08
[SPEAKER_08]: And we have to, we, the owner of the station has to pay 11% sales tax on that power, whereas you at your house only have to pay 5%, same electricity, but because you're in business, they assume you can be penalized and take your money.
45:23
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's not very, there should be even ski keel, I mean, exactly, I know what to mean, I know, okay, well, thank you, listen, I got a call coming, I got a run, thank you, I know, but after doing you're on the air, I just, Jim Reagan here Jim Reagan, former, what were you, editor of the, uh, journal, uh,
45:53
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm a county legislator and my wife and I own the Sherman in and I write local history books.
46:01
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a bad and breakfast, right?
46:03
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes.
46:04
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
46:06
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, we've talked sometimes on the air about the North, well, every place nowadays is a news desert.
46:10
[SPEAKER_08]: The old days when there was Chuck Kelly in yourself, I remember visiting a newsroom.
46:14
[SPEAKER_08]: I hope you remember me coming in.
46:16
[SPEAKER_13]: And, yes, yeah, time's tough.
46:18
[SPEAKER_08]: And there was activity and things and going on and you had an editorial position from Chuck that kind of set parameters for the community, not that he was always right, but, you know, there was, now there's no such things as editorial anymore.
46:33
[SPEAKER_08]: And I'm not sure we're better for it.
46:35
[SPEAKER_08]: That's why all of this local government's out of control, right?
46:42
[SPEAKER_13]: I think that there's a great deal of truth in that.
46:45
[SPEAKER_13]: The, uh, but, uh, you know, Mac or Tolo is the editor of the advanced news, uh, which is the, uh, weekly newspaper in St. Lawrence County.
46:56
[SPEAKER_13]: And, um, he's, uh,
47:00
[SPEAKER_13]: running a great paper and it deserves a lot of credit during a difficult time and Jimmy Lawton is the news editor over at North Country this week and you know they're both doing a great job of covering local news and letting people know what the local governments are doing and I think that's
47:28
[SPEAKER_13]: uh... a k-part of uh... what makes community stronger well there's so much local government though and we have we see you know and it's it's not like the old days when uh... you know i had uh... five reporters in my news room and uh... another uh... five reporters in macena and pot stem and can't uh... you know and we were able to
47:56
[SPEAKER_13]: cover most of the town boards and all the county legislature meetings and the city council meetings and the Bridgerton Board and every other body that we could think of and sort of be the paper of records for St. Lawrence County.
48:19
[SPEAKER_13]: But, you know, time to change, but I've been
48:26
[SPEAKER_13]: Jimmy Lawton and Mac Courtholomew are Other trying there better Carry on to traditions both of them worked for me when I was The band you had are the journal and I helped them get their jobs and they're both
48:42
[SPEAKER_08]: You know what I see though, when I see, we continue to devalue you like local elected officials, all of this part of time, people don't pay money, go through this.
48:54
[SPEAKER_08]: And we continue to elevate and expand the power of these all these six figure bureaucrats in local government.
49:01
[SPEAKER_08]: When I was in news, the idea of a local government person making six figures was just out of the question, now they all do, is that, is it that way up there?
49:13
[SPEAKER_13]: I would love to see a list, a comparison list of what a lot of these officials are making.
49:29
[SPEAKER_13]: I think it would be nice to see a list of all the town supervisors and how much they
49:45
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but you pay your mayor like eight, eight thousand a year in Ogden'sburg.
49:49
[SPEAKER_08]: And then you get mad at him if things don't go right.
49:53
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, how fair is that?
49:55
[SPEAKER_08]: Not you get mad.
49:56
[SPEAKER_13]: Hey, hey, you don't hear me criticizing the mayor of Ogden'sburg.
50:02
[SPEAKER_13]: He's got a difficult job.
50:04
[SPEAKER_13]: And I get by truly a great deal credit for taking on a difficult job as a difficult time.
50:12
[SPEAKER_13]: and doing his best to try to, you know, south of, right, it appears to be some very difficult problem.
50:22
[SPEAKER_08]: How is this new city manager?
50:23
[SPEAKER_08]: Throw notes or something?
50:25
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes, find a cronos.
50:27
[SPEAKER_08]: How is he doing?
50:29
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, you know, I mean, he's wrestling with problems that have been in existence for many years
50:42
[SPEAKER_13]: do the best he can, you know, when he's, you know, he works for City Council and, you know, you more than anyone knows what it's like to, you know, City Council's like hurting cats.
50:58
[SPEAKER_13]: And, you know, when you were mayor of Watertown, you had to try to hurt them as best you could in whatever direction you thought was,
51:10
[SPEAKER_13]: The best way to go and it's not always easy and sometimes some of the cats just don't want to go that way Okay, now Ogden'sburg Has its challenges.
51:22
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a beautiful piece of waterfront property But industries and the same things true everywhere, but Why is it that these communities and nobody has any self-esteem about their community?
51:33
[SPEAKER_08]: No, there's no boosters of anymore How do we get there?
51:39
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, you know, let's back up.
51:41
[SPEAKER_13]: The oxygen spurred as some wonderful waterfront properties that were heavily polluted by industrial users, years and years, and years ago, and they left the mess behind them.
52:08
[SPEAKER_13]: Now, the city of August for currently as what's known as the Diamond National property cleaned up and they have put out a request for proposals and they have received requests for proposals, they received proposals and they will soon be
52:36
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, that's, hopefully, good news.
52:38
[SPEAKER_13]: Now, seeing, you know, what proposal they're going to accept, you know, and, you know, we're hoping to see some of the other waterfront properties cleaned up in the next couple of years.
52:56
[SPEAKER_13]: And it's a long and difficult process, and it's a multimillion dollar process.
53:04
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, thank you just snack your fingers and suddenly I have polluted properties are clean again.
53:11
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
53:11
[SPEAKER_13]: And it doesn't work that way.
53:13
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, I know.
53:14
[SPEAKER_08]: It's it's difficult for kids small communities to come up with Where you got 10 millions of dollars of negative property.
53:24
[SPEAKER_08]: So they give you a 10 million recently.
53:26
[SPEAKER_13]: We're making progress.
53:27
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay.
53:29
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, I have a lot of confidence in the future and I think, you know, we're going to see some things happen.

[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, good.
53:37
[SPEAKER_13]: And we're kind of getting towards, uh, It's going to happen tomorrow.
53:41
[SPEAKER_13]: It's not going to happen overnight.
53:43
[SPEAKER_13]: Uh, I hope City Council in its wisdom takes a developer who has the financial resources to do whatever it is they propose to do.
53:58
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, you know, do you know this from your own background as a local official you get a lot of people who say oh, I'm going to do this wonderful thing And then when you check further you find they actually don't have any money to do it and you know, but they do have their hand out the so you know, I think it's important that the city
54:29
[SPEAKER_13]: as a resources to do it.
54:36
[SPEAKER_08]: One quick question we got to wrap it up here but how bad is the situation with the hospital?
54:44
[SPEAKER_13]: Well I think when all of a sudden we're still going to have a hospital where we probably aren't going to have every service that we've had and want to have.
54:57
[SPEAKER_13]: I think there's a host of problems that a lot of them are due to the changing nature of rural health care and we need a lot of for hours at all that.
55:21
[SPEAKER_08]: I know.
55:21
[SPEAKER_13]: I think they're addressing.
