  Speaker 3: It's Tony D'Angelo in 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm in for the morning show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: And man, oh man, we are broadcasting loud and proud. Connecticut,
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Rhode Island, Long Island, we are on rumble. We are
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: in your head. We are in your mind. We're everywhere.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: It's funny, when I walked in today, I see this
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: big sign. It says 44. What's 44? I don't know.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Is that Henry Aaron or something? I had no idea.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: But as my fading eyesight is telling me, 44 waiting
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: days until the return of the voice of freedom. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: have a statement. We'll get into the prayer. We'll get
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: into the show. And I'll give you the program. The
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: statement of the management of WJJF. Despite countless hours of
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: intense negotiations between full power management and an unyielding political apparatus,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: No final resolution has been reached on the return of
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the one who shall not be named to the airwaves.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: We thank you for your patience. Enjoy the show.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Anyway, so let's pray. And believe me, this to me
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: is so many things in this show are serious, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I'm giving every single thing I do these days to God.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: That's me. That's what I've been going through, and that's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: my life. And I thank the Lord for his victory.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Heavenly Father, we come before you with humble hearts, asking
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: for your mercy and your peace in this uncertain hour.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: We lift up the leaders of our nation, leaders around
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the world. Grant them wisdom beyond our own understanding, courage
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to do what's right, and discernment that may prevent needless suffering.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Guide every decision with justice, restraint, and a desire for peace. Lord,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: we pray for the brave men and women of our military,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: our police officers, firefighters, paramedics, first responders, and the officers
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: of ICE. We pray for people just working and coming
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: home to their families. Surround them with your perfection. Take
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: them home, Father, for your protection, and take them home
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: today to be with their families and tonight, and enjoy
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a day God blessed by you. We ask you to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: watch over our country, unite us in purpose, calm our fears,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and remind us that our ultimate hope is found in
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you alone. May your peace rule in our hearts, your
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: truth guide our nation, and your hand of protection rest
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: upon the United States of America. United States of America
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: is important to me. And if the United States of
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: America is not important to you, you're listening to the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: wrong broadcast. In Jesus' holy name, we pray.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Anyway, good morning. My name's Tony D'Angelo. I'm here with
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: you today. And we've got a great program coming up
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: after the bottom of the hour. We have my favorite
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: thing in the world, the nonprofit announcements. And believe me,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: those are the good things in life. 650 Bob Lazeri
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: in the world of sports. And that's going to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a fun discussion. I've known Bob for 25 years. Bob
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: got me into this crazy thing. Seven o'clock, the hour
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: of power. Professor Bob Swick, no holds barred, taking it
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: from the top. In the 7.30 hour, we will open
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it up to calls because I don't know how much
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: time we'll have today for phone calls, but Bob's happy
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to take them. 8 o'clock, a man who is known
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to everybody on this broadcast. I chatted with him yesterday.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: He is rip-roaring, ready to go. The judge, John Nazero.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: He has a fun agenda. We're going to talk about that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And then 8.30, Juan Roman. A lot of people know Juan.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Juan is a noted person, but if you talk to Juan,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: his biggest claim to fame is he is a child
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and a disciple of God. He's going to tell you
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: about his view of what is corruption and the fixes
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: to it, and there's just so much of that we
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: talk about.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: In this show.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: But anyway, getting to me, getting to humble me, getting
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: to the— It makes me think of if you watch
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the old TV show Taxi, and Louis De Palma, who
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: ran the Taxi Depot, would look at one of the drivers,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Alex Reeder, and say, Riga, think of the shambles, which
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: is your life. Well, anyway, when I consider the shambles
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of my life, I walk in the house, I'll look
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: at the monitor, and it's like something crazy going on
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: in Connecticut, something crazy going on in Los Angeles, something
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: crazy going on in Chicago. And I was talking to
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: one of my friends over the weekend and half-kiddingly said
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: to me, has Connecticut seceded from the union yet? And,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: you know, you sit there and you laugh and you say, oh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: how ridiculous is that? Well, that is sort of a
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: legal impossibility. But think of it. Anytime something happens on
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the federal government level, invariably from these states, it's bad,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it's wrong, it's evil.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And we are in a.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Problem, these states say, because of what the federal government
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: has done. Now, I'm not going to say the federal
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: government's innocent of every single thing, but I was making
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a list last night. And what these people, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the Ned Lamonts, the Chris Murphys, the Karen Basses, the J.D. Pritzkers,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it's what if they ruled the world? what if they
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: had more power than what they do right now? Is
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: this the kind of world you'd like to be in? Okay,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: you like defunded police? You're going to see more defunded police.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: You're going to see more social workers out on calls. And,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you know, we can go ahead and we can protect
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: everybody and get them to their highest good. If you
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: borrowed money to go to school, as far as I'm concerned,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: if I am borrowing something, if I make a promise
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to someone, I have to pay that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It's called swearing to your hurt.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And believe me, I know what it's like. But if
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: somebody owes you money, and one day they walk up
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: to you and say, I can't pay you. It's a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: human right. Look at you, you rich thing. You can't
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: possibly ask this money for me. How do you feel
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: about that? Well, People borrowed money to go to school
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: and get, you know, essentially useless degrees. And I know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know. And it's like, well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: there's no jobs for me. Well, did you stop and
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: think about where you would have a useful skill? There's
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: tons and tons and tons and tons of stuff that
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: need to be done in this world. I can give
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you 50 things during the course of a day, me,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: myself and I, where I wish I had somebody to
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: help me. But there's nobody out there that either can
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: or won't or doesn't have the skills or that I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: can trust. There will never be a world without opportunity.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: There is a chance to do something good every single day.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Of course, you listen to the media.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I can't do nothing. I'm just kind of, you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: just these people. Now, don't listen to that garbage because
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: that's what it is, garbage. And if you don't think
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: that's garbage, look at the people telling you that. Look
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: at them and say, gee, you know, you're not exactly
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: no matinee idol. But basically, it's like, okay, well, stick
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to the point, Tony. What else did they do? Well,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: you want to mutilate children. You want to have men
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and girls sports. You want to have the Green New Deal.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Like last night, I'm watching a video. I think it
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: was Ed Markey in Massachusetts. And he was talking about, well,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: we're going to kill fossil fuels. Well, excuse me. Fossil fuels,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: whether you like them or whether you don't, this is
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the currency of the working person. The guy coming to
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: fix your plumbing didn't get there on a solar copter.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He got there in a beat-up truck.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: You heating your home, the fact that we didn't freeze
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: this past winter is because of the fact that the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: current administration's energy policy was very friendly towards fossil fuels.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And it's like people say these things and it's like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: do they really know what the hell they're saying? You know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: let's OK. These people have it all together. Let's let's have,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: you know, more illegal immigrants driving tractor trailers.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Where is our governor on that? Where is our state
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: legislature on that? You know, not for nothing. I didn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: tell you this. Where's our state Republican Party on that?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, people driving down the road in these big
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: things can't speak English, don't know, don't care, and nobody
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: wants to enforce them. Hey, we're going to keep the
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: world safe from all, right?
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: It's all right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: My favorite thing in the whole world, the Trump account.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Did you hear that? The Trump account. Why can't we build...
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Capital for kids.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: What I mean, put it this way.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: If you have kids, if you have kids that are
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: financially independent, maybe they get to like 18 or 22
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and they're doing things and they're not in debt. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: they're making their own decisions. Maybe they don't need you, politician.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's the thing you're afraid of. I can't think
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: of any other thing that would do that. And, oh,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: by the way, you're a lovely Democrat. You're a lovely progressive.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Do you realize, Chris Murphy, people walk around, oh, this
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: guy could be vice president. This guy can't think his
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: way out of a phone booth.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: If you don't know what a phone booth is, kids.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Look it up. Basically, but do you realize he voted
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: to increase your taxes twice? if you're in a business,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: if you're in any kind of a business, it's like,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I hate Donald Trump. Well, if not but for Donald Trump,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: and if not for that particular plan, you would be
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: paying taxes on 20% more of your income. Does that
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: matter to you? Let me tell you something, baby. It
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: matters to me. OK, I'm just telling you where it is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: So like who is kidding whom, basically? And I would
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: love to see a world. I would absolutely positively. Maybe
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe I wouldn't.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, Connecticut can do it all. And you
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: hear this stuff and you see it, you know. Ned
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Lamont comes out and says, well, I don't need the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: federal government. Or William Tonkin says, I don't need the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: federal government. OK, guy, do it on your own and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: see what happens. We're going to watch the roads crumble.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: We're going to watch all the federal industries just pull out.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: We're going to watch Chris Murphy, who can't go back
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and forth to Washington anymore, pretending that he lives here,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: but he doesn't. We can't have any of this anymore, right?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, who are we kidding? Are we America or
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: are we something else? I mean, this is the question.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe I've just I was having a very nice discussion
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: yesterday with a gentleman.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And he said to me.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: You know, I've finally reached a point where I don't
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: care what people think anymore.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell the truth.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I think I'm reaching that point, because if we
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: don't do what we need to do to save America,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: we ain't going to have America. Think of it. You're
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: not going to get this from Channel 3. You're not
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: going to get this from Channel 8 or Channel 30 or,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you know, the state-run media channel of your choice. If
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: we have a situation— and you might think this is great.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: You might think this is wonderful.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: But if we have a situation where one house turns
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: against the president or both, we are going to be
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: in such an immediate morass.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And the biggest thing is.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Going to be appropriations because— If money is starved out
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to things and money is directed to other things and
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: other endeavors, I can't tell you what it's going to be.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Probably the most precarious state right now is Texas because
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: of the high Muslim population and also because there's so
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: many people coming in wanting to set up their own communities.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: That is a lot of people, and that is a
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: lot of places.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: And it's the kind of thing where I am for
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: a health care system that works. The problem that we have,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: why are things so expensive? Well, if you look at anything,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: look at the compensation levels of the people who are
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: running the damn thing. I mean, you really need 15
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: administrators making $ 200, 000 a year? I mean, these are the
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: things that drive me absolutely crazy, but it's like Well,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to make this a human right. Well, if
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you make this a human right, don't you think you
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: should somehow ratchet down the expenses? They never, ever, ever
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: think of that, basically. But my head has been spinning
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: with this stuff. And a lot of this is farcical,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: or maybe it isn't, because what is it that people
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: want that is going to make them happy? I have
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: to call the balls and strikes. I'm going to take
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: that to Connecticut. We have a governor's race, and I watch.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I watch back and forth, and I see what's happening.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: And I scratch my head, and I say, what is
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the plan for Connecticut? I see Ryan Fazio, the young
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Republican contender for governor. Yesterday, he came out with a video,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: and the video was, I am going to remove the
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: crony capitalism and Ned Lamont giving— money to his buddies.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And I asked him on Twitter, you can look it
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: up if you want to, or essentially, as I say
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: to people, if you have nothing to do. But it's like, Ryan,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: how are you going to do that and keep the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Department of Economic Community Development in place? You know, the
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: department that fed all the nonprofits and the serial fraud,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, these are the answers that we need all
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: over the country.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: We need them in Los Angeles. We need them in Chicago.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: We need them in New York.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: We're going to talk about New York as we go on.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: And we're going to need them in Connecticut. So we
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: are just getting started.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: This is unbelievable.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Tony D'Angelo, 94.9, The Morning Show. We're going to be
• 14:11

  Speaker 3: Well, it's, you know, we talk about a lot of
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: weighty things in this show. We talk about governmental policy.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: We talk about seceding from the Union. We talk about
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: what's going to become of the United States of America.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: But now we're going to talk the really important stuff,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: which is Everything you need to know about sports and
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: past and present. My pal Bob Lazeri. How you doing, pal?
• 36:43
  Speaker 42: I'm good, Tony. How are you, sir?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I am okay.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: And I understand you have some birthdays and some history
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 36:49
  Speaker 42: Yeah, let's start like that. Tony, I have some names
• 36:51
  Speaker 42: I think this morning that are going to make you smile.
• 36:54
  Speaker 42: First of all, on this day in 1945, Tony, a
• 36:58
  Speaker 42: guy named DiMaggio, not Joe, Vince DiMaggio, He hit his
• 37:03
  Speaker 42: fourth Grand Slam of the year. He was playing for
• 37:05
  Speaker 42: the Phillies at the time, Tony. And at the time,
• 37:08
  Speaker 42: that was the National League record. And that was a
• 37:11
  Speaker 42: game against the Boston Braves. Since then, Ernie Banks and
• 37:15
  Speaker 42: Albert Pujols have hit five in a season. As far
• 37:18
  Speaker 42: as the American League, the record still is six. Tony
• 37:22
  Speaker 42: Mattingly and Travis Hafner share that record.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I remember Hafner.
• 37:25
  Speaker 42: That was Vince DiMaggio. If you remember, Tony, he was
• 37:27
  Speaker 42: the middle– DiMaggio, brother, probably the least talented of the three.
• 37:32
  Speaker 42: So that was on this day in 1945. Some years later, Tony,
• 37:39
  Speaker 42: here's a good name for you, 1958, Wilmer Vinegar Bend Mizell.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: He became a congressman.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: He did.
• 37:47
  Speaker 42: He was in the House of Representatives, I believe, and
• 37:50
  Speaker 42: he had a long political career. But at the time,
• 37:52
  Speaker 42: he was pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals, Tony. He
• 37:55
  Speaker 42: walked nine batters. but still shut out the Cincinnati Reds.
• 37:59
  Speaker 42: Won nothing on that day. You know who has the
• 38:03
  Speaker 42: American League record for most walks in a shutout? Tony
• 38:06
  Speaker 42: Lefty Gomez. He walked 11 batters one game and still
• 38:11
  Speaker 42: threw a shutout.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe he called the umpire a name or something.
• 38:16
  Speaker 42: But vinegar bend threw 150 pitches that night, if anybody's
• 38:21
  Speaker 42: interested out there. But as far as... Birthdays, Tony. Got
• 38:25
  Speaker 42: some NFL Hall of Famers that are celebrating birthdays today.
• 38:28
  Speaker 42: First of all, Jason Taylor, the former defensive end for
• 38:32
  Speaker 42: the Miami Dolphins. He celebrates a birthday today. Zach Thomas,
• 38:37
  Speaker 42: also a Miami Dolphin linebacker, Hall of Famer. He celebrates
• 38:42
  Speaker 42: a birthday today. Pat Thomas, former defensive back.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: For the Rams.
• 38:46
  Speaker 42: Made a few Pro Bowls in the 70s and 80s.
• 38:49
  Speaker 42: Very talented player. He celebrates a birthday today. Clinton Portis.
• 38:53
  Speaker 42: Almost 10,000 yards rushing in his career. Celebrates the birthday.
• 38:57
  Speaker 42: Here's another one for you, Tony, that you'll remember. Ed Podolak.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 39:02
  Speaker 42: Kansas City Chiefs, Tony. You remember playing for Tank Stram, correct?
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, he did.
• 39:08
  Speaker 42: He is 79 years old today, believe it or not.
• 39:11
  Speaker 42: Ed Podolak. Tough guy, just known as one of those
• 39:14
  Speaker 42: bruising-type runners. Hardy Nickerson, Tony. I think he made five
• 39:18
  Speaker 42: Pro Bowls with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He started his
• 39:21
  Speaker 42: career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He turned 61 today. And Tony,
• 39:26
  Speaker 42: one of our friends, Carl Mecklenburg.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, what a wonderful guy.
• 39:30
  Speaker 42: He was a terrific guy. You would never think he
• 39:32
  Speaker 42: was the bruising linebacker for the Denver Broncos. When we
• 39:36
  Speaker 42: talked to him some years ago, terrific guy. I just
• 39:41
  Speaker 42: wished him a happy birthday on social media. I posted
• 39:45
  Speaker 42: that interview yesterday. You and I did with him some
• 39:48
  Speaker 42: years ago. That's on X this morning. So happy birthday, Carl.
• 39:53
  Speaker 42: Carl Mecklenburg, 66 years old today, Tony. As far as
• 39:57
  Speaker 42: baseball birthdays, Tony, here's a name that's going to... Born
• 40:01
  Speaker 42: on this day, 1939, Rico Cardi.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 40:08
  Speaker 42: Tony, sadly, he passed away about two years ago in
• 40:10
  Speaker 42: his native Dominican Republic. You know, you cringe when you
• 40:13
  Speaker 42: look at his statistics, Tony, because he's one of those guys...
• 40:17
  Speaker 42: lifetime 299 hitter. Does that kill you? 299, right?
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: He really is the Dominican Tommy Davis. Can you imagine
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: him on two good legs?
• 40:27
  Speaker 42: Exactly, Tony. And I was reading up on him a
• 40:30
  Speaker 42: lot more this morning. You know, very fascinating guy. He
• 40:33
  Speaker 42: did hit 30 home runs one season late in his career.
• 40:37
  Speaker 42: You remember when he went to the American.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: League and was like a D.H.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do.
• 40:40
  Speaker 42: But, I mean, when he came up with Milwaukee, you
• 40:43
  Speaker 42: probably would remember him better than I would in the
• 40:45
  Speaker 42: early 60s with the Braves. He hit. 366. He won
• 40:50
  Speaker 42: a batting title in 1970. And Tony, at the time,
• 40:53
  Speaker 42: he was kind of a hulking guy, like 6'3, 200 pounds,
• 40:56
  Speaker 42: which back then, you know, in his highest strikeout total
• 41:00
  Speaker 42: at any season was around 70. I mean, that's amazing.
• 41:04
  Speaker 42: He was, believe it or not, he was more of
• 41:05
  Speaker 42: a singles hitter than a home run hitter. And, you know,
• 41:10
  Speaker 42: early in his career, Tony, in 1964, he was considered
• 41:15
  Speaker 42: a rookie. He was second in the Rookie of the
• 41:18
  Speaker 42: Year voting. You know who finished first that year?
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: 1964. I'd probably be wrong if I said Dick Allen.
• 41:27
  Speaker 42: Richie Allen is correct.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 41:29
  Speaker 42: So Richie Allen was the Rookie of the Year, and
• 41:31
  Speaker 42: Rico Carty was second. Carty had 22 home runs and
• 41:35
  Speaker 42: 88 runs batted in that. But, again, a great hitter, Tony.
• 41:40
  Speaker 42: He missed a couple years because of injuries, terrible injuries.
• 41:43
  Speaker 42: He played Dominican ball one year and collided with Matty
• 41:47
  Speaker 42: Alou in the outfield, and he really missed a year
• 41:49
  Speaker 42: because of that. Here's another stat for you. Rob Wilfong,
• 41:56
  Speaker 42: he used to be an infielder for the Minnesota Twins, Tony.
• 41:59
  Speaker 42: He's 73 years old today. Here's the amazing thing about
• 42:03
  Speaker 42: Will Fong. You know, he hit. 313 one year. That
• 42:06
  Speaker 42: was his highest by far in 1979. But he had
• 42:09
  Speaker 42: 25 sacrifice punts, Tony, in one season. That probably doesn't
• 42:15
  Speaker 42: happen in the league.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: These days, the entire league.
• 42:19
  Speaker 42: But he probably would not make a roster these days
• 42:22
  Speaker 42: because he had 39 home runs in his entire career and,
• 42:25
  Speaker 42: you know, was one of your so-called punch-and-judy hitters. But
• 42:29
  Speaker 42: Rob Will Fong... He celebrates a birthday today. And here's
• 42:32
  Speaker 42: another one for you, Tony. Gary Maddox. Okay, Gary Maddox,
• 42:37
  Speaker 42: 77 years old today.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: You know, what's.
• 42:41
  Speaker 42: Amazing about him, he was drafted in the late 60s
• 42:43
  Speaker 42: by the Giants, Tony. He did not get the bonus
• 42:46
  Speaker 42: he wanted, so he volunteered to go into the Army.
• 42:50
  Speaker 42: Did two years in the Army, including one year he
• 42:52
  Speaker 42: volunteered to go to Vietnam.
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 42: And, Tony, what's amazing... All the chemicals in Vietnam gave
• 42:58
  Speaker 42: him a skin condition, and that's the reason why he
• 43:01
  Speaker 42: wore a beard his entire career in the major leagues.
• 43:06
  Speaker 42: Eight consecutive gold gloves, I believe, Tony. As you remember,
• 43:10
  Speaker 42: a few people, including Ralph Kiner, were dubbed him as
• 43:16
  Speaker 42: the Secretary of Defense, and they said two-thirds of the
• 43:19
  Speaker 42: earth is covered by water, the other one-third by Gary
• 43:23
  Speaker 42: Maddox due to his defensive prowess. But he had 285
• 43:27
  Speaker 42: for his career, Tony, but mainly known for his defense.
• 43:30
  Speaker 42: And after his career was over, Tony, he became a
• 43:33
  Speaker 42: very accomplished businessman and now is doing a lot of–
• 43:37
  Speaker 42: actually was a real good barbecue chef.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Guy was amazing. Read about his life.
• 43:42
  Speaker 42: It's really amazing. Gary Maddox celebrates the birthday today. That's
• 43:46
  Speaker 42: about it.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: And Tim McCarver loved him. He just is like the
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: greatest guy in the world to be around. I can't
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: remember the year. It was a playoff game, and it
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: was the year that the Phillies lost the last game
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: in the last inning, and McGraw was on the mound.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say 1970.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: It might be like 1981 because 1980 they won it.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: And for some inexplicable reason, Gary Maddox, of all people,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: muffed like three very easy chances in the outfield, causing
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: the Phillies to lose the game. I can't remember the
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: exact year. You might remember maybe one of our devout
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: sports fans out there. Tug McGraw was looking at Gary
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Maddox thinking, not you. This doesn't happen. How could this be?
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: No.
• 44:38
  Speaker 42: One of the great center fielders of our time. And
• 44:41
  Speaker 42: I guess we all have bad.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: Days, right, Tony?
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I guess we do. That's part of being a human being.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Tell me what's good about it.
• 44:49
  Speaker 18: Anyway.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: What's happening with this college stuff and these players that
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: are pro want to go college and there's lawsuits?
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Bob, I can't make heads or tails.
• 45:00
  Speaker 42: Well, Tony, I read an article, the same article you read,
• 45:03
  Speaker 42: I mean, about the NCAA. And, you know, I guess
• 45:05
  Speaker 42: back in 2022, there was this rule passed where, I mean,
• 45:09
  Speaker 42: it granted five years of eligibility. So, I mean, if
• 45:12
  Speaker 42: you were... before 21, you couldn't get it. And there's
• 45:16
  Speaker 42: guys that claim that they deserve it. And there's lawsuits
• 45:19
  Speaker 42: all over the place, but it's such a mess, you know?
• 45:22
  Speaker 42: And I, I mean, all I kept thinking while I
• 45:24
  Speaker 42: was reading this article was what a mess college athletics is.
• 45:28
  Speaker 42: And they let it get this bad, you know, I mean,
• 45:30
  Speaker 42: as far as the red shirts and, and all this stuff, Tony,
• 45:34
  Speaker 42: it's really, it's all, obviously it's all based upon money
• 45:37
  Speaker 42: and these guys trying to get NIL money and this
• 45:41
  Speaker 42: and that. And, Now, you know, it's a rule-less society,
• 45:46
  Speaker 42: and the NCAA is like the captain of that kind
• 45:50
  Speaker 42: of stuff. It's dirtier than we think it is, and
• 45:53
  Speaker 42: this is just another story. To me, it's no big deal.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Two things I thought of as I was leaving the
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: house in the din and the fog and everything else.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: The first one was Lew Alcindor, too. The kids out
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: there may not know who that is.
• 46:08
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: That is the pre-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. abdul-jabbar and you remember there
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: was this whole moral dilemma he was poor and his
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: father was uh actually a janitor at power memorial and
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: it was this thing of all does he want to
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: go pro no he can't go pros father wants to
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: have an education this whole and and it was like
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: and he elected to stay in school and play under
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: john wooden and it's just because it was like that
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: was the value system but Speaking of the value system,
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I'm coming up on a very hard break. We can
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: keep this going forever. We'll save it all for next week. Bob,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: where do our friends and fans see you and reach you?
• 46:47

  Speaker 3: 94.9 News and Stimulating Talk, Tuesday, September 1st.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Do you believe it is September already?
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: I have a statement to read before we bring on
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: our guest from the management of Full Power Radio. Despite
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: countless hours of intense negotiations between Full Power Management and
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: an unyielding political apparatus, no final resolution has been reached
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: on the return of the one who shall not be named,
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: to the airwaves. We thank you for your patience. Enjoy
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: the show, and I hope you are on the line.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I've got my friend, my colleague, probably a man I
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: like to call the godfather. He's just been an incredible,
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: incredible beacon of light for so many years.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Professor Bob Swick.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Hello, Bob.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: I'm good, Tony.
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on this morning.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: And.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: So much to talk about. I know, like, when I've
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: been telling people about this particular segment, I mean, it's—I'm hearing,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: you know, give us more, give us more. Well, that's—I'm
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: all yours. You go where you want to go today, and,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: you know, I've got a bunch of notes as well.
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: I want to lead off with the amazing quarter-of-a-million-dollar contract
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: that was handed to a gentleman who I did not
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: realize that he basically— changed education single-handedly. And that was
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: the former Secretary of Education under the Biden administration, a
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: man who started out as a teacher in Meriden, Connecticut,
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: Miguel Cardona. And he now operates a consulting firm, Tony.
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: Can you believe that? He's a consultant in education. And
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: he apparently helped form a commission in the state of
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: Connecticut With regards to trying to get, for lack of
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: a better term, a career pathways commission, which he was
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: appointed to lead as a chairman. And this career pathways commission, Tony,
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: is miraculously going to create a lot of jobs in
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: the state of Connecticut. I think Connecticut will probably have
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: negative unemployment. And as leading this commission, his firm gets
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: a no-bid contract for $ 250, 000, the reason being there's a
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: report that this commission needs done by the end of
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: the year, and he is the only man in Connecticut,
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: possibly in America, whose company can complete that particular report.
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: Do you find that amazing?
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: I do. I.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm speechless.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's twofold or threefold. And just to give
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: people here some ground rules, you're welcome to call in
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: the 730 hour. Bob is with us for the full hour.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: The where it.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Used to be that we had this thing of how
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: could I put it? No bid contract.
• 55:54
  Speaker 32: Wrong.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Terrible.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Even getting people to that point. How dare they do this?
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Now it's like, Bob, it's just done with such impunity,
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: and it's like, I know better than you.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Shut up.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Get in the corner. This is the man that can
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: do it. Now what are you going to do about it?
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: And the arrogance and the impunity, and then the other thing, really,
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: we were talking about this yesterday on X, is do
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: we have something known as an ethics department?
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: It's always this thing.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: Of, Whenever there's a critical issue, our state ethics department is, oh,
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: we don't deal with that. And that, of course, brings
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: you into the whole issue of which I think we'll
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: get into, but maybe not at this moment. The Ned
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Lamont Ethics Plan, which Ethical Ned came out four months
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: before the formation of the Oak Partnerships in the Cayman
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: Islands and said, well, I'm submitting myself to this ethical body.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to give you the ground rules of what
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: we're going to do. And the so there'll never be
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: a question about me. And as to my, shall we say,
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: ethic is not ethnicity. And it's like where I think
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: before and to get into the mechanics of that, you know,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: I believe we will a little bit later. But it's
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: this thing of now it's like we don't care. We're
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: just going to do it, and that's the way it is.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: And we're government, and you're not. Bob, it's sickening. It's
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: absolutely sickening.
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: I think two points that really need to be addressed.
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: I really don't understand Cardona's basic theories and philosophies. If
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: you look at his website for his new company, it's
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: basically he's accomplished so much. in 27 years of education
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: and all these different areas he's served, so on and
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: so forth, you know, the one thing I see in
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: him when he talks and, you know, hearing about him
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: over the years, and again, I talk 44 years part-time.
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: I've also taught high school for a couple years in between.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: And you're still teaching.
• 57:59
  Speaker 6: And I'm still teaching. I am still teaching. Even though
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: I'm only teaching online, I'm still teaching. And I don't
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: see any enthusiasm in him In any of his speeches
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: when he was in Connecticut, I never saw the spirit,
• 58:14
  Speaker 6: the enthusiasm, the love that a teacher should have in
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: the classroom. I fully understand being a teacher in 2026
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: is dramatically different than being a teacher back in 1982
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: when I started. But at the same time, if you
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: are just using education as being a political stepping stone
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: for yourself, which I really feel he did... Because I
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: can't believe he was picked as the Department of Education
• 58:43
  Speaker 6: head under Biden. But then again, I realize Murphy and
• 58:46
  Speaker 6: Blumenthal were hard at work getting him in, lobbying for him.
• 58:50
  Speaker 6: And Biden obviously didn't make the pick. Whatever Zandler chose,
• 58:55
  Speaker 6: that's who came in. And now he's just recreating himself
• 58:59
  Speaker 6: because now he needs more money because he's got a
• 59:02
  Speaker 6: state pension, he's got a local pension, he's got a
• 59:04
  Speaker 6: federal pension. So now he's got a consulting business that, hey,
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: I'm golden. Look at me. I will come into Connecticut.
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: I will get, you know, maybe two or three of
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: these contracts a year. I'm set. Who's better than me?
• 59:18
  Speaker 6: And you're missing the entire point if you're not understanding. And, again,
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: the general public, you know, not being given all the
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: information or whatever. You're missing the point. This man is
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: just using political influence to use political influence in the
• 59:37
  Speaker 6: classroom and to suffice his political ideology. And I would
• 59:43
  Speaker 6: really like to know what this commission report is going
• 59:46
  Speaker 6: to do that all the other commission reports haven't done
• 59:51
  Speaker 6: over the years in a state that spends anywhere from
• 59:54
  Speaker 6: $ 500 million to $ 1 billion in job training. and just
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: has so little to show for it, it's not even funny.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: This is what I think passes in Connecticut for economic development.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: You and I might look at economic development as we
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: get a rock and two sticks, and we make a fire,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: and we build on the fire, and we build a
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: bigger fire, and then we give materials for other people
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: to start fires. Everything I look at in Connecticut, a
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: lot of blue states, but, you know, we're probably one
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: of the most egregious. Economic development is how much money
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: can we suck out of the state government and the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: federal government and whatever thing we can do to, quote unquote,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: have all these smiling faces and we're going to create
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: all these jobs and we're going to create all these
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: educated people. And to your point, there's never anything tangible.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: No one ever takes that and builds a pipeline like
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: I can remember was talking about this yesterday. I don't
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: know like if people in my era were mindful of this,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: but there was a pipeline. You went to the shop,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: say you were a shop person, you're learning carpentry or
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: plumbing or being an electrician or not to speak in
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: glittering generalities across the sexes of which there's only two.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: the girls would study bookkeeping and typing, and the factories
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: would come in and recruit them to go work in, say,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: you know, Pitney Bowes or, you know, Door Oliver or
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: anything that was around Stanford. There was an established pipeline.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: You started, you went. All these kids that are like,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: you know, quantum CT. Oh, we're going to you know,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: we're going to do quantum computing.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: And this is really great. We got these neat products.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: There ain't no quantum computer anywhere in this damn world
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: right now. I mean, there's there's more boxes of cornflakes
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: than there are quantum computers. And it's like, Bob, it's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: this whole thing of like. To your point, does anybody
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: ask the question, what will Miguel Cardona do to somehow
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: save the world for education and humanity? What will any
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: of these things do? What will Quantum CT do to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: save the world for humanity, posterity, and mother nature?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: I really would like to know. I did a couple
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: of searches to try to find out what this report
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: is going to be on. And it's elusive to try
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: to find what they're actually going to write about that's
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 6: going to be anything different. than what's been written in
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 6: the past. What is the net resolution you're going to
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: get from this report? How is this report going to
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: benefit someone like me in the classroom? Will I have
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: a student be more attentive? Will I have a student
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 6: want to learn more? Will I have a student have
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: a passion for the subject matter? You know, it's those
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: little things that I hate to throw out, but, you know,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: let's get back to what the core of education should be.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: Education should not be DEI. Education should not be gender change.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: Education needs to be teaching students to give them tools
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 6: to think, the ability to make decisions, to understand different
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 6: subject levels, to be more learned about different subject matters,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: to try to create a career path for them so
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 6: that they have the necessary tools, especially in In K-12,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 6: the necessary tools so they can step up, go into
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: a vocational training program, go into a college-based training program,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 6: and excel, strive for excellence, try to be the best
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: they can be. You know, I look at my own situation.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 6: I worked my way through college. I worked my way
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: through my degrees. I worked. I knew I had to
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: try to get ahead in life. And I really believe
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 6: today because, again, the media just hammers how bad things are.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: There are no jobs. AI is going to ruin all jobs.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: AI is going to eliminate this. AI is going to
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 6: do that, so on and so forth. But we are
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 6: living and have lived in one of the greatest technological
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 6: revolutions in world history over the past basically 40 years,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 6: and it's continuing. But why can't we do something with
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: education today? to make it more attractive, number one, to
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: get more dedicated teachers in there, and number two, to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: excel our students so that students in Hartford and Hartford
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 6: Public Schools, for example, have an ability to go forward,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 6: to graduate at a 12th grade level reading level, not
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: a third or fourth grade level, and have a high
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 6: school diploma that's worth it. That's what needs to be addressed.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 6: But again, it's not politically correct. We want to have
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: that beautiful report. Oh, this report's the greatest thing known
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: to mankind.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 16: It's that.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 6: It's garbage. It's a political nepotism contract at its best.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Well, and I think, you know, and people get on
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: my case being hard on Republicans, and they say, do
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: you really want to have a Democrat in office rather
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: than a Republican? And I say, No, frankly, this is
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: why I do what I do, because, you know, you've
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: got to meet the challenge. Where I get very angry, Bob,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: is that you have these situations that, you know, to
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: you or to me are obvious. There's needs in society.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: There are things, I mean, people get petrified of artificial intelligence. Oh,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: it's going to do this. It's going to remove jobs.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: It's going to throw people on park benches and, and, and, and, and,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, well, What will it do good?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Somebody's engineering. There's infrastructure. There's building.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: You're going to have to get power. It is going
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: to happen whether you want it to or not. I mean,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: these people that, how could I put it? These people
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: that want to regulate it and say, oh, it's that,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: it's dangerous. Look, anything is dangerous. I get in an
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: automobile to drive from Pomfret, Connecticut in the dark and
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: the fog to come here to Ledyard. That's dangerous, okay?
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: There is it is called risk reward. You learn how
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: to mitigate your risk. I've got enough things under my
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: sink probably to take. I don't really live in a
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: neighborhood as such, but to take out my entire neighborhood.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: Whatever happened to the thing of channeling for good as
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: opposed to everything is evil. And I think that takes
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: you to the whole thing of government is the only
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: solution because only government can protect you for all.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: There are ones that created the freaking mess.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you 100%. Government is the one
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: that's creating all these issues because you've got basically incompetent
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 6: people in government making decisions of things that they have
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 6: no idea. They don't know anything about it. They don't
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 6: have the slightest clue as to what is actually involved
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 6: in economic development or economic advancement through the use of technology.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 6: You know, if you really think about it in the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: purest sense, we can open up our computers in the
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: morning and we can get literally any piece of information
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: we want. Isn't that amazing?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: That is an amazing thing.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 6: We live in to have that ability to do that.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: Well, and I was speaking to a young lady, of course,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: you get to my age, everybody's younger. And I asked
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: her how her father was, and she had mentioned her
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: father was cancer free because of several new drug innovations.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: And one of the great things, and whenever you say, oh,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: how can you say anything good about Trump? Donald Trump
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: has done an incredible amount of good things. No, he
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: hasn't been perfect. No president ever has. But her father
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: is alive because of new drug innovations and or the
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: right to try different things. And I'm thinking, okay, fine.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: Socialized medicine, Medicare for all. Let's take the, and of
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: course what you're looking at, Bob, it's not compensating the physician.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: You want the physician to be well compensated, to be
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: comfortable in his life. You don't want a stressed out
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: guy operating on you, frankly, you know, basically. But it's,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: you know, the 50,000 myriad administrators and the layers of bureaucracy.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: But that all said, it's like What do you think
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: you're going to get in socialized medicine? You're going to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: get innovation. You're going to get new things, new developments.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: You're not going to get anything because you'll be sitting
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: there at the bottom rung because there's not an incentive
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: to do better. And all these gas bags that are
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: running out there saying, oh, we've got to completely take
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: the profit motive out of this. Well, guess what? This
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: is what you're going to get.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they're the same people that are going to
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 6: be first in line when they have a problem, and
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 6: they're going to be crying to medicine, to the doctors,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 6: and to the pharmaceutical companies. Save me. Save me, please.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 6: I'm too valuable. to die type of thing. It's ridiculous.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: It's utterly ridiculous. So we have situations where we have bureaucrats.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 6: We have lifetime bureaucrats that just live off the dole,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 6: live off taxpayers' money, and We have to accept it
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 6: as taxpayers. And, you know, it's too boring day in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 6: and day out to complain about the same thing over
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: and over again. Yet that's what we are forced to
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 6: do because, again, if you look at everything in true
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 6: economic terms, and I look at pretty much 95 percent
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: of what I analyze through economic terms, there's no value
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: in a $ 250, 000 politically patronage, no-bid contract for us. a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 6: report that's not going to create any solutions whatsoever. You
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 6: could have taken that same $ 250, 000, hired three unemployed veterans
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: in some sort of job work program, get them employed,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: get them productive again, and done a better job than
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: giving your former Democratic political education commissioner a free ride
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: for his salary for the year.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: And then you wonder, you know, and this is the party.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I look at it. You've got the party that, oh,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: we're pro-education. Oh, we're pro-teacher and whatever. And rather than
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: building in the infrastructure, to your point, the skills, coming
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: out of school with something marketable, it's this whole thing
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: of we protect the bureaucracy. We want to stop people
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: from homeschooling. After all, parents don't have a clue as
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: to what they know how to do. Only, you know,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: quote unquote union teachers do. And you've got this thing
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: of where I get angry with Republicans saying, hey, this
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: isn't education. This is a farce. This is nothing but
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: a jobs program in so many cases. And, you know,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: to your point, we need people teaching artificial intelligence. We
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: need people teaching technology. I mean, look at me. Here
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: I am at, you know, the age and stage that
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: I am. And one day I'm walking from the house
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: to the barn and I'm saying, you know, what happens
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: when I'm no longer here, Bob? What happens when I'm
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: no longer here? And there's these people who are there
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: wanting me to help them. I'm not going to be
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: able to help them. You need an earth suit to
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: be on earth. And it's like, well, where's the pipeline?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: Where's the kids? who's going to come up and just
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: take whatever comes and take the scraps and build the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: thing forward. We don't see that kind of thing because
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: that's where it has to come from. It has to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: come from the small business.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 6: In education especially, you've got to have and you've got
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 6: to see and you've got to seek out and you've
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: got to nurture that special student who you could tell
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 6: right away if you're a good teacher, that person's going
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: to really go far. But let's give him or her
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: a good push here. guide them into this particular subject matter.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 6: Guide them. This may be a very good fit for
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 6: a school or a vocation for you. So on and
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: so forth. I don't see a lot of that happening anymore.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: I really don't. And I'm honored in a way to
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: have a lot of my students contact me and say, hey,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 6: can you give me some suggestions on what should I
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 6: do next? What classes should I take next? So on
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: and so forth. And I don't resent it. And I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 6: don't reject it. I want to help them. They need help.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: They need some sort of mentor in a real sense
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: to guide them into what is important in life. And
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: you have to work and make a living. Contrary to
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: what socialists want us to believe, we need to work.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: We need to have a pipeline of students who are
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: qualified to work, to grow forward, to take over my job,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 6: your job, so on and so forth. And I just
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: don't see it well anymore. I see it as a
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: real corrupted system. which only concern is social policies and
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 6: DEI policies, yada, yada, yada. And for what reason is
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: beyond me. It's not going to help them get a job.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: It is for the fortification of the people that are there.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: I'll give you one fast thought. We're going to have
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: to pick it up after the half. But basically, it's
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: for those people that sit there and say magnet schools
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: and charter schools are the wrong thing. They are benefiting
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: those very kids that these Democrats and these system people
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: are claiming to help. Tony D'Angelo, 94.9, The Morning Show.

• 1:22:40
  Speaker 8: Brought to you by Charter Oak Federal Credit Union, where
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: members bank better. I think it's safe to say that
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: we live in an era, sports-wise, where colleges and universities
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 8: are printing money right now because.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 12: Of athletic departments.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 5: Well, printing's the wrong word.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: And making more money is probably the right term, considering
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 8: all the endowments and donations that you're allowed to give
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 8: athletic programs now to pay players. Which is why it
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 8: blows my mind that UCLA, one of the biggest universities
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 8: on the planet, just fired their athletic director, Martin Jarman,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 8: because the athletic department reported a $ 241 million deficit to
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 8: the university. Now, I know Jarman didn't really turn around
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 8: the football program like he thought he would, but he
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 8: did preside over nine teams that won national championships for
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 8: the university. But winning's not enough nowadays in college sports.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 8: You've got to show a profit. And because Jarman couldn't,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: he's out. Because the new normal in college sports is expensive.

  Speaker 29: rise about $ 15.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: 54 per month.

  Speaker 29: A recent Rhode Island review found ongoing problems within DCYF
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 29: after examining 30 child deaths and 11 near deaths. The
• 1:24:37

  Speaker 29: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi campaigned for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Helena
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 29: Fulks in Providence on Sunday. Fulks is challenging Governor Dan
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 29: McKee in Rhode Island's September 9th primary.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 30: I'm Rob Ray. When news breaks, we break in.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: You've got to play doo-wop.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: If you're tired and you can't move and you've got
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: to get a workout in, you've got to do some work,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: just throw the speakers up. I mean, I've got a
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: collection of them. The great part is they're all there
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: for free. You can play them on YouTube. Tony D'Angelo
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: with The Morning Show 94.9. We are back with Professor
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: Bob Swick. And, Bob, the thing that drives me crazy
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: is education used to be achievement, and now it's like...
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: We run from achievement, and it's like somehow we've got
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: to protect the bureaucracy. It drives me nuts. It drives
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: me nuts.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: Well, it drives me nuts, too, because I'm still teaching. And,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 6: you know, a classic statement I get from a student,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: why did I get a zero on the assignment? And
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: I said, well, you didn't hand the assignment in. What
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 6: would you like me to grade you on? Something that's
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: not there. You know, and they find some of them
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 6: get it. They realize that, you know. They have to
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 6: produce work in order to get the grade, in order
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 6: to pass the course, so on and so forth. So
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: if we apply that same idea to our everyday lives,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 6: we need money to survive. We need money to pay
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: our mortgage, pay our rent, pay our bills, pay our
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 6: utility costs, food, et cetera, et cetera. So what can
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: we do job-wise to try to earn the maximum amount
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 6: of money And, you know, better ourselves and get ahead.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 6: And I think that whole concept is somehow lost today
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 6: with a lot of jobs and a lot of young
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 6: people getting out of college because they feel, okay, I
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 6: got my degree, and why am I starting at, you.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: Know, $ 60, 000 a year in my job?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: I should be making $ 120, 000, $ 130, 000, $ 150, 000, you know, name
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 6: a figure. And there's not a strong sense of realism
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: that a lot of these young people have been given
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: from their college years. However, there are a lot of
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: students who did get it, did understand it, worked very hard,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: and did whatever they could to get an edge in
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 6: order to get a better job, to get a higher-paying job,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: to get a better career, so on and so forth.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: And I think, really, education needs to cut out the
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 6: boycotting of Target stores And get back to, you know,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 6: the functional subject matter that these students need to have
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 6: in order to survive in our society. How to read correctly.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 6: How to write correctly. How to study different subjects that
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 6: you know nothing about so you at least become aware
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 6: of them. So on and so forth. And, you know,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 6: I think education is ripe for changes. But the changes
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 6: need to be in a positive manner, not a negative manner.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of the changes we've seen over
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 6: the years in education have been exceptionally negative to both
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 6: the student and especially to the teacher also at the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 6: same time.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: Well, and it's like what everybody forgets. And I mean,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: I see this as old as I am. We no
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: longer compete with the people in our neighborhood, in our town,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: in our state. We're competing across the world. We're competing...
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: across just continents. And I, me, myself, and I, as
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: an employer, cough, spit, barf, whatever that aggravation certificate that
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: brings you in a state like Connecticut, I get emails
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: from India, from places I haven't heard of.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: I will give you a attorney. I will give you
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: an accountant. I will give you.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: A researcher for Bob. It's like $ 10 an hour, $ 15
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: an hour. And I, I, I won't do that. I've
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: never done that. I've never felt right about that. But
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: the sad fact of the matter is that person over there,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: that nameless, faceless, whatever is like, will whip rings around
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: what I can find in a local college with a
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: degree and have to pay them four times more. And
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: that's really the sad fact of the matter. And nobody
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: gets that. Nobody gets that.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 6: And again, higher education doesn't see that in a lot
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 6: of ways. They just, you know, continue to pursue, you know, their,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: you know, same functional goals of, okay, you're going to
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: do this, you're going to do that. You know, make
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 6: sure you understand this. Make sure you take this seriously.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: course on such and such, which is not going to
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 6: do anything for you one way or the other. So
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 6: it's very, very misguided what we're seeing in education today.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: And I can see it. And to a point you
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: made in the last half hour about homeschooling, I see
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: when I have a homeschool student in one of my classes,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 6: I can tell right away they've been homeschooled because they're,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: you know, they are articulate. They get the work done
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: and be Before the deadline, they ask questions. They want
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: clarification on certain things. It's a joy to teach someone
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: who's been homeschooled because, to me, they're so far advanced
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: than those coming out of public schools. Same thing with
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: charter magnet school students. Those students are very advanced also. But, again,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: that represents a problem to the teachers' union's which is
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: sad because they're avoiding what they're trying to do, and
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: that's teach students. They're just trying to get their political
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 6: agenda over to parents and to students and so on
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: and so forth.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: Well, we have one of our— I' m sorry, not to interrupt.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: Look at how much money is being spent on higher
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 6: education and towns and cities spend on their educational budgets.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 52: That's incredible.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: It is, and we've got one of our legendary callers,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: Old Dan, who wants.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: Very much to talk with us, especially you. Dan, how
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: are you? You're on with Tony and Bob.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 53: I'm good, and hello, Bob.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 6: You are a brother. Hi, Dan. How are you?
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 53: Good, thank you. And, you know, listening to you, why
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 53: the hell aren't you either the Commissioner of Education in
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 53: Connecticut or the.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: I don't fit their political model, so I do my
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 6: own thing. I think I'm more effective in the classroom
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: minding my own business than trying to get involved in
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: the bureaucracy of education. I feel I can do a
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: lot more helping one student at a time, which I've
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 6: done for 44 years now.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 53: Well, you're probably right. And just a story I have,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 53: because you're talking about Cardone and the $ 250, 000 no-bid contract
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 53: for consulting.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 54: It used to be the purpose of.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 53: Public education was to educate the public's children, and now
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 53: it seems it's basically an opportunity for politicians in power
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 53: to reward their friends and supporters with lucrative contracts to
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 53: make them more money.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: I think that's very obvious, and as someone who went
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: through public schools, I was very thankful for my public
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 6: school education back in the 60s and early 70s. And
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: I had some great teachers over the years in school,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: especially in high school, who gave me excellent career advice
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: because I had no idea what I was going to
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 6: do in school. I mean, when I got out of
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: high school, I figured I'd get a job and go
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 6: work somewhere. So I think that's lost to a great
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 6: degree today. And just a quick story paralleling that, I
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: taught for many years at a Connecticut community college. And
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: I was in inner-city school, and I had a lot
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: of students come up to me, and they would come
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: right out and say to me, what do I need
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 6: to do to get out of the situation I'm in?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 6: And I thought about it a little, and they wanted
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 6: to get out of the city. They wanted to get
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: out of the ghetto. They wanted to do something with
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 6: their lives. So I gave them some suggestions. I said,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 6: first thing you do, you get your associate's degree here.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 6: You work your butt off to get your degree. And
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 6: then you're going to go transfer to a four-year school,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 6: look at finance, look at accounting, look at different degree
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 6: programs where you know you're going to get hired, get
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: a job, and move forward with your life. And you'll
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 6: be happy you did. And over the years, it worked
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 6: for a lot of the students I gave that advice
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: to because they became very successful. And that's what you
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: want to see in education. You want to see this.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 6: I don't want to see gender change in school. I'm sorry.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: That's the way I feel. That has no business being
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: in school. But yet that's one of the most critical
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 6: things that, you know, public education needs to apply. I
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 6: can't explain it. I can't fathom it.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: Well, you need something other than excuses. I mean, everything
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: is like, well, why don't you do this?
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: Ah, Tony, you don't know. It's the way it is today.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: And that's the parents and the this and the– but
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: it's like, are we going to be excusing these kids,
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: you know, Bob and Dan, when they're 20, 25, 30?
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: This is really, quote, unquote, our intellectual crisis. You know,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: we don't have these young people. It's like, well, they're
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: not going out. They're not getting– because they never had to.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 3: It's like they were coddled. They were mollycoddled the whole
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 3: way up.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: And I think the COVID situation really did damage to
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 6: school systems in general because a lot of these kids lost,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 6: in some cases, up to over two years of contact
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: with other people. And I think it's really played a
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 6: bad role in their development, and we're seeing the results
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: of it now.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: Well, Dan, any further thoughts?
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 53: Well, just that I was talking to a high school
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 53: English teacher, and she basically told me, and she didn't
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 53: charge me $ 250, 000, but she said the problem with education
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 53: needs to support teachers, They don't feel respected and trusted,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 53: and plus they have no say where the money goes.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 53: It goes to the State Board of Education, the superintendent,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 53: and the central office. And the teachers, they do what
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 53: they're told, and it seems every five years they're told
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 53: a different way on how to teach. So they've been
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 53: beaten down. And young teachers, unfortunately, in the old days,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 53: I guess they used to have mentors and get guidance.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 53: And a lot of that should come from the principal
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 53: and the administrators. So going back to, Bob, what you said,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 53: the principals and administrators, that should be their job, and
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 53: they're not doing it. And she says, don't tell me
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 53: you don't have the money because you're spending the money
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 53: on other things that basically, like we said in the beginning,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 53: like Cardone and company. And she's being evaluated by administrators
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 53: and that are not even in her field and do
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 53: not know the content.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 6: Of what she's teaching. And she's being evaluated by administrators
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: who haven't been in the classroom for years, and they
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 6: are clueless about what's going on in the classroom. And
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 6: I agree with her 100%. Teachers should get back to teaching.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 6: Let them see what they need to do with the
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 6: students that they were given. See what their strengths are.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: See what their weaknesses are. don't have a form that
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: you just got to check the boxes for some sort
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 6: of educational bureaucracy that you're only concerned about and concerned
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: about when you're going to be retired to get your pension.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: That's the problem today. That really is. Let teachers teach again.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 6: Let them control their curriculum. Let them pick textbooks, so
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 6: on and so forth. It's so highly regulated, it's not
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 6: even funny. I know if I started my career today,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 6: I think I would drop out very, very quickly. But
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 6: as far as I'm concerned, I do my own thing
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: in the classroom, and that's to teach. I'm teaching economics.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: I'm teaching subject matter. I teach it my way. And
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: I can guarantee you 99% of my students will remember
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 6: what they have learned in the classroom after a class
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 6: with me because I want them to learn. That's the
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: thing we've got to get back to in education. We
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 6: need students to learn, and we need teachers to teach students.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 6: not be bureaucrats under, you know, a fiefdom system that
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 6: it basically turned into.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going to swear on the air and get the
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: FCC angry. I'm going to mention two words. American exceptionalism.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: What the hell ever happened to American exceptionalism? We're now
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: American mediocrity. And, Bob, we have another call. Again, we
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: don't have a screener, so.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 18: Oh, they hung up.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you do call, we don't have much longer
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: to go in this segment. And also for the judge,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: you will be directly on to the board and you
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: will be on hold. We do not have a screener today. But, Bob,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: whatever happened to American exceptionalism?
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: Well, I think we still have American exceptionalism, but you
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 6: have to look for it. And even though it's not
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 6: advertised anymore— Because it's not politically correct. I think President
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 6: Trump has done an exceptional job in both terms trying
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: to create an exceptional society, an exceptional country, a country
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 6: that can be self-sufficient, a country that can live within
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 6: its means, a country that can grow forward. provide jobs,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 6: provide real health care, provide homes, places to live, so
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 6: on and so forth. But we don't see it because
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 6: we're inundated day in and day out with the same
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: negativity that, you know, for whatever reason, the stoic media
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: wants to present us and the Democratic Party wants to
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: condemn us for, because even though they're wealthy and they
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 6: can do whatever they want, we can't do it. We
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 6: can't be exceptional. We can't make the money, so on
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 6: and so forth. And that's wrong. That's wrong. And I
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: really feel, you know, there are enough people in our
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 6: society that unfortunately don't get any credit for anything. They
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 6: don't get in the newspaper or online to say what
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: they really did and how exceptional they were in what
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 6: they did and how they helped society, helped their economy,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 6: helped their country, so on and so forth.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I believe we have another caller. We have another caller. Hello, 94.9
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: News and Stimulating Talk. You're on with Tony and Bob.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, hi.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 54: I just had a quick question, and I know I
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 54: don't have a lot of time. So I guess the
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 54: person you have, Bob, is an educator.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 6: Am I correct?
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 54: Because I came in late to this conversation.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: That is correct.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 54: I want to ask Bob, all we hear about are
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 54: these kids that get pushed along. They're really not ready.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 54: They're not, you know, especially in college, they get to
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 54: college level.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 6: And I've seen that. You know, I was in college
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 6: in the 80s. It was different.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 54: But anyways, did he ever have a child that he
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 54: was educating that just did not have it? And did
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 54: he fail him?
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 6: And what happens?
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 54: Do they just keep failing him and that's it? Or
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 54: do people get frustrated and move him along and hope
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 54: the next eclipse?
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 6: Well, they move them along in public education usually because
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: they have their metrics. They don't want too many failures,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: so on and so forth. College, I'm not ashamed to
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 6: say I failed many students over the years because they
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: were not doing the classwork. They weren't qualified for being
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 6: in college. And in some cases, I would just, I would,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 6: you know, honestly talk to the students and say, I
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 6: don't think you're ready for college right now. Why don't you,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 6: you know, look at some types of work or whatever,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 6: get a few years of work under your belt, and
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 6: see if you want to try college at night, you know, part-time,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 6: something like that. And, you know, I had one student
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking about that comes into mind immediately, and that's
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: exactly what happened. She took I was teaching accounting at
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: the time for the community college, inner city community college.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 6: She took my class three times. She failed it three times.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 6: And on the third time when I saw her in
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 6: the class, I said, what are you doing in my
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 6: class again? I said, well, I'm trying to take the
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 6: class again. So she stopped doing the work. She dropped out.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 6: A couple years later, I run into her at the school,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 6: and I asked her, how are you doing? And she said,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 6: I took your advice. And I'm taking one class a semester,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 6: and I'm going to get my degree one class at
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 6: a time, and I understand what you're saying now. I
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 6: should never have been in college when I was. So,
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 6: you know, it works in some cases, but on a
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 6: public school level, you know, they push them through, and,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 6: you know, they graduate, and then they're not qualified to
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 6: do anything. And that is hurting the student. That's hurting
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 6: that person personally. Trying to get a job, do anything
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 6: with their lives.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 54: I agree with everything you said. It's just a matter
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 54: of reflecting and seeing if you're really ready. At a
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 54: grade school level, I know it's difficult, but we've got
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 54: to get with the hard truth.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 6: If you're not ready to move on, don't move on.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 6: Don't move them on.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 17: I agree.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 54: But it's a difficult thing because it's all about the
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 54: funding and the metrics, whatever you're saying.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: It's a tough one.
• 1:42:14

  Speaker 1: It's great to be back. It's really, really great. Thank you.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 40: It's not Friday morning. It's Tuesday, and it's so great
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 40: to be here. Three Italian guys walk into a bar.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: That's where we're at. We have the ledgered version of
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: the It Low American Club.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 40: You know, Tony D'Angelo, John Nazaro, we're Italian guys, but
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 40: listen to us anyway.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: So it's really great to be here.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 40: And I just wanted to dovetail off the last segment,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 40: which I listened to with interest. It was great to
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 40: hear Bob Swick. Oh, it was a very good discussion
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 40: about education. And I actually graduated college. If you're listening, Bob,
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 40: it's been a long time. Hickerson Hall, Southern Connecticut, 1980.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 40: It's been 46 years since I laid eyes on Bob.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: He's done well.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 40: And we have a bunch of owls out there as
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 40: well as blue devils from Central. And I want to
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 40: comment about the state college system real quick before we.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: Get to legal stuff.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: Sure, your ballgame, my friend.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: You know, we've got a lot of legal stuff to
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: talk about.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 40: But when you go to state college, and sometimes I
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 40: meet folks and I ask them, you know, where did
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 40: you go to school?
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: And they say, oh, Central. I said, look, no, no,
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: hold your head up high. You're a blue devil. You
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: went to state college. I went to Southern Connecticut, you know.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: You're not a second-class person.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 40: People criticize the state university system. For some reason, I
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 40: think folks that went to WestCon, EastCon, and that kind
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 40: of thing thought they were second-class state college students.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 9: UConn.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 40: UConn gets all the attention, right, up at stores and
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 40: the various campuses.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: But hold it with pride.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 40: Sometimes you go to school that you can afford, and
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 40: that's the case with me. And so folks out there
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 40: in Connecticut, between the community colleges, and I had two
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 40: brothers that went to Thames Valley, which is now Three Rivers.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Shout-out to Jeff.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 40: Nixon, who runs a great criminal justice program out there
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 40: And they're spectacular facilities. I was so impressed when I
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 40: went out there. And same with Grasso Tech. So they're
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 40: good state of Connecticut dollars at work. The places were clean.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 40: The students were walking in lockstep, you know, with energy.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 40: I was just so impressed with the facilities. And I
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 40: know the curriculums also match it.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 17: So.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to Bob Swick.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: Take the opportunity that's given to you.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: And make something out of it.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 40: You know, yeah, sometimes you get chicken salad and you
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 40: turn it into chicken soup.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 40: Myself, I tell the story sometimes. I applied for and
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 40: received a Navy full ROTC scholarship to the College of
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 40: the Holy Cross. And I went to the Military Engines
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 40: Processing Center and I did a U-turn and I came
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 40: back home. I was a great disappointment to my father
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 40: because I said, Dad, I don't think I can do this.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 40: He said, you're back awfully quick. I said, I don't
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 40: think I can do this.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: What do you mean?
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't know.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 40: I have a problem with the military and authority. I'm
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 40: going to end up in the brig for five years.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 40: And we couldn't afford the $ 6, 800 back in the fall
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 40: of 76 to pay the tuition. So I said, I'll
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 40: tell you what, dad, let me go to state college,
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 40: figure out what I want to do with my life.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: It was July. So what am I doing?
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 40: I threw an application to Southern and I went there
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 40: and I did okay. You know, I came out a
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 40: starving reporter, but I had a great, education, Robin Glassman.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 40: We started the journalism curriculum and the rest is history.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: So all that.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 40: So to the law, we got a lot of stuff
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 40: in the news and we're going to talk about the
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 40: Clancy case.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 3: I can't wait.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 40: You know, and it's fascinating because people have views all around.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: We're going into day four of jury deliberations.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 40: And in case you've been sleeping under a rock, there
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 40: is this mother on trial for killing her three children.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 40: And it's polarized people, and some say it's the health
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 40: care system, especially the mental health care system on trial,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 40: because it's been long, a lot of expert witnesses. We
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 40: have South County Mental Health, which creeps into Connecticut. And
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 40: so this nearby state of ours, Massachusetts and Rhode Island,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 40: and there is a paucity of services, and it's a
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 40: very inexact science, psychiatry, psychology, and postpartum depression is a
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 40: real thing. And the question for this jury that's been
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 40: out for four days, will it excuse in the way
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 40: of criminal responsibility? the admitted strangulation of three children? You
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 40: got folks on one side who want to hang this woman,
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 40: want to see her buried in the gulag.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: Then you got others who.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 40: Listen to psychiatry and say, well, was she in a
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 40: right mental state? And do we imprison and do we
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 40: penalize folks who are not in their right mental state
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 40: when they commit an act which is violent and terrible
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 40: and in no way excusable? Would a rational, sane person
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 40: kill their own children, right? I was talking with a
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 40: doctor this weekend, a local doctor, who's a very experienced internist,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 40: and we talked about the whole idea of criminal responsibility,
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 40: mental disease and defect, whether that should excuse someone.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: And boy, I tell you, you've got opinions all over.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 40: I welcome some phone calls. Folks do not quite understand
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 40: this concept. of lesser offenses. The judge charged the jury
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 40: with murder in the second degree and other types of
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 40: charges less than murder in the first degree. I think
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 40: there might be what's called a compromise verdict. If I
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 40: can be a predictor, I don't have a crystal ball,
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 40: you know, will it be not guilt?
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 30: Who knows?
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 5: Who knows?
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: And who can predict? I can admit I did not
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: watch this. blow for blow. Did you watch any of it?
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: No, I just caught up with it at the end. And, and,
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 3: you know, as, um, again, I say this a lot
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: to have pity of the ignorant, uh, from group of
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: one high school. I, and I, I struggle with what I, I,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 3: I struggle with tax trust in the States. I know
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 3: nothing about criminal law. I don't intend to be a criminal.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 3: Bless me father for I have sin. I stole a
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 3: banana and ate the skin, but judge some, something that I,
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: How does manslaughter, which is one of the particular– how
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 3: does that enter into it?
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it quite fits.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 40: But the jury is told that it's a lesser offense
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 40: and you can infer from that there's some kind of
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 40: lesser penalty. I think it becomes an option.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: For those jurors who delve in what's called jury nullification.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 55: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: They listen to the law, but they don't follow it, right?
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: That's always the problem with lawyers.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 40: When you try a case, is the jury going to
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 40: actually follow what the judge says? So often manslaughter, murder
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 40: in the second degree, talks about heat of passion. One
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 40: could argue this was not a heat of passion. You know,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 40: when you go on to victim number two, this is
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 40: what I was talking about with the doc on the beach.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 40: You know, you strangle child number one. And then you
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 40: coolly and deliberately go on to strangle child number two.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 40: Then you go on to strangle child number three.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: And I'm not laughing.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 40: I'm just saying this is just so horrific. How can
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 40: one not realize the consequence of.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 17: Your act, right?
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 5: This is my struggle.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: This is my struggle.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: So to me, it smacks of psychosis.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 40: I was first acquainted with the concept of postpartum depression
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 40: about 30 years ago. I know a local person who's
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 40: very high-functioning. She used to be a hedge fund manager,
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 40: and she was actually involved in pension fund management locally,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 40: worked on Wall Street.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: And she had three daughters. And to make a long
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: story short, she had postpartum depression. What's that? Well, that
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: was a severe depression where you.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 40: Have homicidal thoughts when you have children because there's a
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 40: chemical imbalance. The fact is we are full of different
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 40: types of chemicals in our system, and it's clear. Sometimes
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 40: mothers get gestational diabetes, and then it goes away after.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: But the reality is with all.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 40: These psychotropic drugs and antipsychotic meds, it helps balance the
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 40: dopamine levels and other aspects. And there is a science
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 40: to psychiatry. There are many people, in fact, a great majority,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 40: one might argue, of Americans, they're on some kind of antidepressant.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 40: And you got a big education if you watch the
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 40: trial about Paxil, about Zoloft, about Prozac and these other medications.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 40: that are prescribed not only by psychiatrists, by psychiatric APRNs.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 40: They can now prescribe medication. And it helps people. There's
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 40: a need and there's a function. I mean, we only
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 40: need to talk to one of our Pfizer neighbors.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: About what's going on in the pharmaceutical area. So it's
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: a very difficult situation.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 40: And the law has always saw fit to penalize and
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 40: prosecute those with criminal intent. But if you are literally
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 40: out of your mind Should you be dealt with the
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 40: same as a John Wayne Gacy who plots in the
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 40: night in his clown suit to go hunting down boys,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 40: you know, have sex with them and then kill them
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 40: and bury them in shallow graves in Texas?
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a hard thing.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: And again, I speak of one who's ignorant.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: And I think when I first started to get familiar
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 3: or more familiar with this particular case, I thought, well, OK,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 3: she's in an institution for her life or she's in jail.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: What's functionally the difference? But as somebody was explaining yesterday,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: she could, if she.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 3: Is not criminally convicted in Massachusetts, if I understand this right,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 3: please correct me, she can eventually muster out of that
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 3: and resume life as a, lack of a better term,
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 3: normal person.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 29: Yeah.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 3: And is that the functional difference?
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 5: Well, it is.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 40: I think you're spot on. And that's exactly what happened
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 40: to John Hinckley. John Hinckley shot President Reagan. And I
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 40: remember being in school.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 5: At the time.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: The whole idea was he shot Reagan. He pointed a gun.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: He knew it would propel a bullet.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 40: But he did it to impress a Yale student who
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 40: happened to be an actress named Jodie Foster.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: And John Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: mental disease and defect. And he was hospitalized in St.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth's Hospital.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 40: I remember visiting there because I was working for the
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 40: United States government as an investigator in the summer of 81.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: And I was at St. E's on business. And I'm thinking, wow,
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: John Hinckley's here. He eventually was released.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 40: He was restored to sanity and released in the custody
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 40: of his parents. I think it's a remarkable statement about
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 40: the American jurisprudence system where a jury found an individual
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 40: who shot a president, admittedly, and found him not guilty.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 40: And then he got treatment. And he did not disappear
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 40: into prison for the remainder of his years.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: There's many who thought he should, but he was medicated.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 1: And I think he's still alive and.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 40: Kicking around somewhere in the Washington area. And his parents
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 40: maybe are still alive.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 3: But the system, in my view, worked.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 9: It worked.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: How remarkable.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 40: You know, unlike Sirhan Sirhan, who really was a political
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 40: prisoner for his life. Or Charles Manson, different story. It
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 40: wasn't a political thing. It was a gruesome killing. But
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 40: Sirhan Sirhan, no person would have been incarcerated as long
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 40: as he was had he not shot at Kennedy, right?
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 40: So there's a lot of anecdotes in our jurisprudential history.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: They're ugly. One can criticize the Hinckley result. To me,
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: it's the system that worked.
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 3: You give an interesting perspective on that, and it's– You're
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to put it this way.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: This is not the prediction markets.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 3: Do not bet.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: Do not gamble over your head. What is your prediction
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: of what's going to happen in the. Clancy, I think
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: there could be some type of compromise verdict. I think
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: it could be lesser than than murder in the first degree.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 40: If I if again, I have not been following this
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 40: play by play. I don't pretend to know all the evidence.
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 40: I will tell you, my wife has been watching a
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 40: lot of it and she's utterly fascinated.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: By the cross-examination skills of the defense.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 5: Lawyer, who's about 75 years old.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: He said something really weird on television in an interview,
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: that he was in love with his client. I thought
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: that was just bizarre.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 40: And I remember having a case, and I was a
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 40: habeas corpus judge. What's a habeas corpus judge? I decided
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 40: cases involving the most heinous crimes in Connecticut, whether individuals
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 40: should get a retrial. One of the cases involved a
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 40: lawyer from Stanford, Connecticut, Mickey Sherman.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember Mickey.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 40: And there was criticism about Mickey, who was a very
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 40: fine trial lawyer. His son has since taken over the firm.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 40: But Mickey, they said, was too close to Skakel, the
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 40: Kennedy killing. He was too close to Skakel. They were
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 40: riding motorcycles. They were going to events and everything else.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 40: And that was the claim before me. Was the relationship
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 40: with Skakel such that it obfuscated his objectivity? And Skakel actually,
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 40: you know, they claimed I should get a new trial
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 40: because my lawyer was too close to the defendant. When
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 40: you say you're in love with your client, she's a female,
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 40: that smacks, if nothing else, of weirdness. The question is whether,
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 40: and someone said that's the white guy's polite way of saying,
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 40: you know, not appropriate.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not white.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 40: So anyway, but the truth is it did not deserve
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 40: a new trial. So he's kind of weird in terms
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 40: of what he says, but he was very masterful in
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 40: his cross-examination. As far as the closing arguments, if I
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 40: could be a critic, I think neither was impressive, both
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 40: the prosecutor- and the defense attorney. They were kind of rambling,
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 40: and they were all over the boards, and people were like, ugh.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 40: Some lawyers are what we call a closing argument lawyer.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 40: They're mediocre as they go along, and then they wrap
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 40: it all up in closing and mesmerize everybody. Then there
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 40: are other lawyers like this guy, apparently, a defense lawyer.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 40: He's a very good cross-examiner, but when it came to
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 40: the summation, the whole crescendo, it was wanting.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: You've been on both sides. You've been a litigator, you've
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 2: been a judge, and And a prosecutor, too.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 3: And a prosecutor.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 5: And I.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 3: Come here to spout completely useless information on what people talk,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 3: but I used to go to church in Los Angeles
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 3: with a man named Johnny Lee Cochran. And if you
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 3: saw this man, he was very convivial. Great trial lawyer.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 3: The nicest suits.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: I have ever seen on a man. They were unbelievable.
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 2: and very engaging.
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 3: How does that play with jurors, that the guy's really
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 3: engaging and gets people involved? Is that more inclined to
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 3: put a verdict one way.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 5: Or the other?
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a factor.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 40: I think, you know, a lawyer that I practiced with
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 40: for a long time said, like me and like my client.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: For the lawyer to be appealing is so important.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 40: I remember years ago, before I became a judge, we
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 40: had dinner. I was a member of the Connecticut Criminal
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 40: Defense Lawyers Association. And I was privileged to have dinner
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 40: with Barry Sheck. So Barry was the DNA guy. And
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 40: Barry was just a dynamic guy. He founded the Innocence Project.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 40: And I don't know if he's litigating now, but I
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 40: bought his book and we chatted.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: And those guys are dynamic.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 18: They're so thorough.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 40: So when you have a personality like Johnny Cochran, I mean,
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 40: that definitely is a factor.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: Lee Bailey. I got to know F. Lee Bailey.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 40: I actually worked for him a little bit in college,
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 40: and he was a Boston litigator. And these guys, they're
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 40: running on high-energy fuel. These guys are 98 octane.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: They go, go, go.
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 40: They work hard. They play hard. That's the DNA of
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 40: the trial lawyers. And there are fun guys to be around.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 40: And you like them, and you like to watch them. And,
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 40: you know, sometimes I always say to jurors, whether it's
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 40: a civil case or a criminal case, when you.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: Pick jurors, We're not as exciting as television, okay? And
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: there's all these delays.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 40: And I would say as a judge, when I instructed
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 40: juries in cases, there's going to be a lot of delays,
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 40: a lot of breaks. You're going to be excused from
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 40: the courtroom. We're going to ask you to strike testimony
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 40: from your minds. A lot of the stuff you don't
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 40: see on television. And it's a great disappointment to a
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 40: lot of people. And I remember trying an arson case
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 40: and talking to the jury afterward.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: And this is on my website because.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 40: My client was actually not guilty, and that's a very
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 40: difficult thing to deal with because the system is not
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 40: equipped to deal.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: With someone who's not guilty.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 1: It's counterintuitive. But I talked to the jury afterward. You
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: know what they were looking at?
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 40: They were criticizing our ties. They were talking to the prosecutor.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 40: I'm going to say he's a judge now, Pete McShane.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 40: Pete was hired to replace me as a prosecutor back
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 40: in 1987 in New London.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: Now he's a judge.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 40: And they would say, well, we liked his ties better.
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: We didn't like your ties. And by the way, we
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: didn't like you at first. We thought you had an attitude.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: You're a little smug. But as the case progressed, oh,
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: we saw where you were.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 40: Going and you were connecting the dots. I bumped into
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 40: the jury foreman two weeks ago. This case I tried
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 40: 30 years ago. And she is the sister of two
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 40: prominent lawyers and also related to a major crime detective
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 40: who solved the Michael Ross case. And the juror said
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 40: to me, your client was innocent. We knew that you
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 40: didn't have to cross examine the cop.
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: We knew he was lying.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 17: Wow.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: What a moment.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: Isn't that something?
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: A lot of stories.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 3: Time is always getting away from us. We only got
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of minutes. Where do you want to go now?
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 40: Well, on the national scene, President Trump can go forward
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 40: with the ballroom. The Supreme Court ruled in a five
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 40: to four ruling. I mean, this is you know, I
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 40: think I think the Supreme Court, I think the DOJ
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 40: might have advanced the wrong argument.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: We need a place that is safe and secure. And
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: that is a big bunker.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 40: And there's all kinds of understructure going on. We can't
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 40: have the president getting shot at at the hotel down
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 40: in Washington. I go to Washington frequently. My daughter, as
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 40: you may know, is a senior technology reporter. And she's
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 40: immersed in the field in the area of Congress and
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 40: intelligence and all her classmates from George Washington University.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: And her social circle. So we need a place. So
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good ruling.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 40: And there's a lot of private money. There is public money,
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 40: no doubt. But this is not a castle and an
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 40: homage to President Trump. It's embarrassing. I was in the
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 40: White House for the governor's ball. I did not attend
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 40: the ball, the day of the governor's ball, in the
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 40: first term for Trump. And some Republican higher-ups got me
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 40: in there. I called Senator Blumenthal and Congressman Courtney. I
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 40: was told no in 15 minutes. I called a higher
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 40: up in the Republican Party, got in. And I'll tell
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 40: you something. If you've never been to the White House
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 40: and I was there the first term, it's changed. But
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 40: the first term, it was drab.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 18: It was dull.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 1: It was dated. He was reusing stuff from President Bush,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: President Reagan.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 40: I was so underimpressed. And I'm thinking this is supposed
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 40: to be a showpiece. So make the White House terrific.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 40: We're going ahead with the ballroom. Let's hold state dinners.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 40: Let's hold court with all the leaders of the world.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 40: and have an appropriate setting.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: I'm all for it. It was the right decision. I
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: know you agree.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 3: It's Judge John Nazero, who has taken time from his
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 3: busy schedule to help out a substitute show host, Tony D'Angelo, 94.9,
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 3: doing the morning show. Judge, I can't believe it. We're
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 3: coming up out of time.

  Speaker 40: doing a wonderful job. for this host who shall not
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 40: be named running for political office.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: He's a horrible guy.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 18: He's terrible.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, let me tell you. It's a wonderful thing,

  Speaker 20: of Hormuz.
• 2:18:05

  Speaker 8: members bank better. I think it's safe to say that
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 8: we live in an era, sports-wise, where colleges and universities
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 8: are printing money right now because of athletic departments.
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 5: Well, printing's the wrong word.
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 8: And making more money is probably the right term, considering
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 8: all the endowments and donations that you're allowed to give
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 8: athletic programs now to pay players. Which is why it
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 8: blows my mind that UCLA, one of the biggest universities
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 8: on the planet, just fired their athletic director, Martin Jarman,
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 8: because the athletic department reported a $ 241 million.
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 12: Deficit to the university.
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 8: Now, I know Jarman didn't really turn around the football
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 8: program like he thought he would, but he did preside
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 8: over nine teams that won national championships for the university.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 8: But winning's not enough nowadays in college sports. You've got
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 8: to show a profit. And because Jarman couldn't, he's out.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 8: Because the new normal in college sports is expensive. With

  Speaker 3: on the 94.9, uh, morning show news and stimulating talk.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 3: And I have met this gentleman. I've spoken to him. We've, uh,
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 3: we've shared a lot of, uh, troubles and giggles and, uh,
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 3: supported one another. Juan Roman, a lot of, you know, him, uh,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of you may not. And, uh, I don't
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 3: know what Juan is going to talk about. This is
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 3: warts and all, which is what I really love. So Juan,
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 3: first of all, good morning. And second, give a little
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 3: background before you get into what you'd like to talk
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 3: about today.
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Tony, and thank you for having me on. Well,
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 4: plain and simple, I was born and raised in New London, Connecticut.
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 4: Played ball at Central Connecticut State University. Received my master's
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 4: as well as my undergraduate there. My first job out
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 4: of college, I was the case manager for the CORE program,
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 4: Community Outreach Resocialization Project, at the Child Guidance Clinic in
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 4: New London, Connecticut, over on Granite Street. I was there
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 4: for two years with a federal grant, and I saw
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 4: a person in my office crying in her office one
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 4: day because her federal grant got pulled. So I realized
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 4: this is not maybe as secure a job as I'd like.
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 4: and a friend of mine, Danny Vendetto, I called it
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 4: back on our state championship high school football team.
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 17: He, uh, was, had told me a year before about probation.
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 17: I didn't apply.
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 4: But, uh, when I saw that situation with my coworker
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 4: at the child guidance clinic, I applied, was hired, and
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 4: I worked as an adult probation officer for the next
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 4: 20 years until I retired in 2014. And, um, And
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 4: during that time, I also coached at New London High
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 4: School for 13 years, coached football. And the last two years,
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 4: I was the head coach there. Married to my wife, Carrie,
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 4: for 31 years now. And we have three children, Hunter, Major,
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 4: and Spencer.
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 3: Blessings upon you, my brother. So where are we going today?
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 3: And you mentioned you wanted to speak about corruption. And
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 3: I stopped right there. So you're at that. What's... Let's
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 3: begin where you want to begin.
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 19: All right.
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 17: Well, first off, I want to say I truly appreciated
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 17: last week's show when you opened in prayer.
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, thank you.
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 4: That's something that, you know, you don't see anywhere anymore.
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't care where I am. If I'm
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 4: having a meal, I'm going to say grace, whether it's
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 4: just my wife and I, if I'm by myself, or
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 4: if we have a large group. If it's on my
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 4: home turf, you know, if I'm taking people out, I'm
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 4: going to pray. If I'm out with someone else, I'll
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 4: just hold my wife's hand and we'll pray together. But
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 4: so I really do appreciate that because I don't think
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 4: people appreciate prayer is truly showing your humility, understanding that
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 4: there is a God who is greater than.
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 17: You, that you're bringing your... petitions to. So again, I
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 17: just want to thank you for doing that.
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 3: Amen, brother.
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 9: It helps me.
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 17: It helps me.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 6: Good, good.
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 4: So you had reached out to me a couple of
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 4: weeks ago with a topic that I really did not
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 4: want to discuss. But that's not why I didn't get
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 4: back to you. I didn't get back to you because
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't see it because I was running around with
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of stuff with my dad, as I told you,
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 4: with his health issues.
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 3: Understood. Just happy to have you here.
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 17: Please continue.
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 4: So anyway, so I want to talk about corruption because
• 2:28:10
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about it through the biblical lens
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 4: because that's where I go. I'm not as smart as
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 4: the folks that come on the show and talk about
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 4: these things and have these things all figured out. They
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 4: impress me when I listen to them. But in the end,
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 4: I realized, what are we missing? I mean, there are
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 4: so many questions. Why don't we have answers? So that's
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 4: where I want to go with corruption. So there's five
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 4: Greek words for corruption. The one that I'm going to
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 4: refer to today, and forgive me if I mispronounce a
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 4: Greek word. I only know a little Greek. I dated
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 4: her for four years of high school. But that's about it.
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 4: So when it says plethora, It's decay, decompensation, a moral
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 4: and spiritual destruction. And I'm going to look at its
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 4: usage from 2 Peter 1.14. It can describe a physical
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 4: mortality as well as a moral depravity, which is obviously
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 4: the direction I'm going in with 2 Peter 1.4. So
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 4: the literal translation is a strong desire, craving, longing, or yearning.
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 4: And that's what happens. I talk about that with The
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 4: word lust itself. That's going to come in later on.
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 4: But corruption leads to this lust thing. So let me
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 4: go there. So I'm doing my.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 17: Best here to follow you.
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 3: 2 Peter 1.4.
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 31: Yes.
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 5: Okay. Please continue.
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 17: Sure. No problem. 1.4.
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 4: I'm going there right now myself. And I'm using the
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 4: New King James Version of the Bible. I know some
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 4: people don't. It might have different wording, so if they're
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 4: looking at it, that's the one I'm using. But it says,
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 4: by which have been given to us exceedingly great and
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 4: precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 4: the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 4: the world through lust. So again, corruption, I talked about
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 4: what that was. And I'll go back to that just
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 4: to help stay on board of what I'm saying. So again,
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 4: it's this whole moral depravity. And that's being in our
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 4: world today. And that last thing in that verse talking
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 4: about lust. So what leads to this corruption? The lust,
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 4: that strong desire or craving or longing or yearning for something.
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 4: So we need to appreciate this word is a neutral
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 4: used word. It's not masculine or feminine in corruption. And
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 4: I say that because there can be a desire and
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 4: a yearning for things that are positive, things that are good,
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 4: but there also can be things that are evil. And
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 4: obviously in this manner, we're talking about the things that
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 4: are evil. And that's unfortunately the problem. So in the
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 4: context of second Peter one, four, it refers negatively to
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 4: the sinful, selfish cravings of human nature that lead to
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 4: moral decay and ruin in the world. And if we
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 4: can't see that in our world today, then, There's something wrong.
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 4: But the reason why we can't see that is because
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 4: we are in an ecosystem, a sinful ecosystem. And it
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 4: says in 2 Corinthians 4, 3-4, But even if our
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 4: gospel is veiled, it's veiled to those who are perishing,
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 4: whose minds the God of this age has blinded, who
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 4: do not believe, lest the light of the gospel, the
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 4: glory of Christ, who is the image of God should
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 4: shine on them.
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 17: So that's important.
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 4: The really important thing about the two verses I just
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 4: read is the God of this age. That's a small G.
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 4: That's not, that's not the God that's in heaven. The
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 4: God who created the entire universe. This is talking about
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 4: the person who is ruler of this world right now.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 4: And it's a temporary ruler. And that refers in the first, in, um, St.
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 4: Corinthians 4, which I just read, refers to Satan. He's
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 4: a temporary ruler. He's not a real God. His title
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 4: means he has temporary power and influence over this current
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 4: fallen world system.
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 3: Well, he has God-like, shall we say, he can masquerade
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 3: as God once in a while, and that's where people
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 3: get into all sorts of confusion and trickery and deceit.
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 17: Well, the thing is, he.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 4: And it's interesting you say that because in the book
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 4: of Galatians, it says, and I'm paraphrasing, but it says,
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 4: if we or anyone else gives you a gospel other
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 4: than the gospel that we've already preached, it says, if
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 4: we are an angel of light, preaches a gospel other
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 4: than what we already preached, let them be accursed. Well,
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 4: who is an angel of light? That's Lucifer. Lucifer, he's
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 4: the beautiful, most beautiful, greatest of all the angels. So
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 4: he can present himself very well. Don't look for the
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 4: pitchfork and the horns and the red tail. That's not happening.
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 17: So again, so he.
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 4: Presents himself very well, but I wouldn't, and he can
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 4: be an imposter of sorts, but in the end, he's
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 4: just very charismatic, very, you know, pleasing. And we have
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 4: a lot of people like that, but you know, it's
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 4: not who, you know, we imagine him to be. But again,
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 4: that's a perfect example of what he's doing. He's throwing
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 4: people off the scent. If, if you think that I'm
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 4: this very, grotesque looking being or whatever, then you're not
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 4: looking for the right person.
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 5: Not going to pay attention.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, no, please go ahead.
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 4: No, I'm just saying so. Spiritual blindness, he blinds the
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 4: minds of people who do not believe. That's why he
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 4: says to those who are perishing. And I know that
• 2:34:05
  Speaker 4: that is a rub for people. Well, how can you
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 4: say that we're perishing?
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 17: Who are you to say that? I'm not saying that.
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 17: The book's saying that.
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 4: And that's the difference between myself and others who try
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 4: to defend their positions of faith. I'm going to go
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 4: back to the book. If the book is wrong, if
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 4: the book is a Titanic, as I said before, then
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 4: I'll go down with that. But again, I'm referring to
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 4: the book. And so it's telling us that, you know,
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 4: he stops them from seeing the truth in the light
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 4: of the gospel. So that's why I didn't want to
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 4: talk about any other topic. I don't want to talk about,
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 4: you know, what I don't even want to name them
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 4: because there's so many different topics.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 17: There's so many of them.
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 38: Right.
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 17: But what they ends up being is that just distractions.
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's a fine line and this is the,
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 3: this is the thing as far as I think a
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 3: lot of people start off, be it ministry, politics, social work,
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 3: or they, they come with a pure heart one, you know,
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 3: they come with, they want to do something. Like I
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 3: could remember, this is like, you know, many years ago
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 3: when I was in Los Angeles and I was in
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 3: the Crenshaw Christian Center and a lot of my fellow
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 3: parishioners were, uh, older people who had been people of
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 3: color who had been in the city of Los Angeles
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 3: for years and years. And I think, you know, this
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 3: is the thing. I think man always has a hunger
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 3: for the supernatural. Now you're going to try to figure
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 3: that out some kind of way. If you can't find
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 3: it through almighty God, you're going to find it through drugs.
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 17: You're going to find it through Satanism.
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 3: That's just a yearning. So you take all these people
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 3: and they were going to, you know, denominational Baptist churches.
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 2: And finally somebody came out one day. And said, hey,
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 2: there's this.
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 3: Really incredible preacher that's preaching at the shrine on Sundays.
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 17: You got to go see him.
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, what's his name?
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 1: His name is Jim Jones.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, Jim Jones started out as being
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 3: a guy that like you and I might really want
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 3: to listen to. Then one day, he walks up to
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 3: the pulpit and he just he's full of himself at
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 3: this point. And he says, you know, I'm so tired
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 3: of it. The world's such a mess. This is incredible.
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 3: you see this book here, the Bible, and he read
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 3: the passage about Jesus saying, don't take script for the journey.
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 3: And he says, no, no, no. What script means. Script
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 3: means scripture. You got to get my teaching. And one, I,
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 3: this is absolutely true. He started tearing the pages out
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 3: of the book. So it's like, you know, and where
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 3: did this guy end up? You know, you can go
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 3: to ditch and Guiana and all that other, and it
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 3: was awful, but I guess it's, My question to you
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 3: in the subject, which you have raised is what, what,
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 3: what is the warning sign when somebody with good intentions
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 3: gets sucked off into that angel of light?
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 2: That's, that's the big question for me.
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 4: Well, again, well, again, it's just, it's a simple answer.
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 4: The litmus test is scripture. So you said this guy's
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 4: ripping the book up. But that's why it's so important
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 4: to know what it says. No, there are people who
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 4: are making so many comments and references to the Earlier
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 4: this morning, I was listening to a show that we
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 4: both know that you.
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 17: Can't mention anyone's name. And I.
• 2:37:20
  Speaker 4: Heard a person say, well, you know, the Bible was
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 4: written by a bunch of men.
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 17: Okay, I would retort.
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 4: That, yeah, 40 different men over 1600 years under the
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 4: filling control of the holy spirit but then my question
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 4: would be to that person which no one ever asked
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 4: who made your tarot cards who makes these things you
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 4: believe in because you keep you know that's your way
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 4: of undermining the authority of scripture but the things that
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 4: you refer to who created those things But again, I
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 4: don't want to get off track with that. So that's
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 4: what happens. So I say in the end, the litmus
• 2:37:53
  Speaker 4: test has the scripture. How does it match up with scripture?
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 4: This guy starts tearing up the Bible, I'd be walking
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 4: out the door. But unfortunately, as we know, and that
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 4: phrase has been used forever since then, they drank the Kool-Aid.
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 17: Literally, unfortunately.
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 4: But again, Satan, he pushes false ideas, selfish values, and
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 4: wrong beliefs to keep people away from God. And that's
• 2:38:18
  Speaker 4: why I say these are all distractions, distractions that people
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 4: are chasing after, all these things that are never going
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 4: to get cured, so to speak. I'm not saying we
• 2:38:27
  Speaker 4: shouldn't have concerns. I'm not saying we shouldn't.
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 17: Do our part.
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 4: And what that is, you know, the good Lord's got
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 4: to help you figure that out. Pray for wisdom. Pray
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 4: for those things. But first, before you can do any
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 4: of that, you need to put your faith in Christ. Again,
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 4: people don't want to hear that. And that's fine with me.
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 17: I don't know. It's not true.
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 4: It's not fine with me. The people don't want to
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 4: hear that because it says in second Peter that God
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 4: is not slack. I'm paraphrasing again as one account slackness,
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 4: but he wants all to come to, to repent and
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 4: come to believe.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 17: So again, he wants everyone to believe. So he wants that.
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 17: That's what I want too. I'm not one of those. Well,
• 2:39:06
  Speaker 17: you do it your way.
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 4: We'll do it our way. You know, we'll agree to disagree.
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not going to argue with you. I'm
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 4: not going to fight with you. I'm not going to
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 4: have a war with you over it. But I will
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 4: pray for you because, you know, in the end, I'm
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 4: a black and white guy. There is right. There's wrong.
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 4: There's truth and there's lies. And we're getting to that
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 4: now with the whole issue of Satan, because, again, he's
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 4: not equal to God. He's a created being, just like
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 4: all of us. He has he has strict limits set
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 4: by the real and sovereign God. And Jesus came to
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 4: destroy the work of the devil and believers are rescued
• 2:39:41
  Speaker 4: from his power through faith and salvation. So now there
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 4: are going to be people out here losing their mind,
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 4: and that's fine. But again, I'm going back to scripture.
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not giving my opinion. But in 1 John 5, 19,
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 4: it says, we know that we are of God, and
• 2:39:55
  Speaker 4: the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
• 2:39:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of the things I find very hard
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 3: is when you listen to a entertainer or a political
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 3: figure or someone saying, presenting themselves to you as the
• 2:40:15
  Speaker 3: solution to everything. Do what I tell you to do
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 3: and everything will be fine. Now there's no humility. There's
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 3: no acknowledgement of almighty God, a higher, there's no prayer
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 3: for wisdom.
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 2: It's just, I am the solution.
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 3: And I think one, when you knock things down to
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 3: that level, you have kids who are just sitting there
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 3: you know, these young people who were going off to
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 3: socialism and like, you know, well, this is, I can't
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 3: do for myself. So I want the rich guy to
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 3: do it for me. After all, the world has screwed me.
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 3: I'm old, 21 years old. And it's like, that's when,
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 3: and God is, Jesus is salvation. God is hope. And one,
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 3: when you remove the hope from people, that that's like
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 3: asking the angel of white to walk.
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 2: In and say, here I am, take me.
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 3: It's, it's just, it drives me crazy.
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 17: Is it a slant or is it a post? You know, okay.
• 2:41:19
  Speaker 17: Some people call it one thing.
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 4: Some people call it the other, but that's why when
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 4: you hear about, you know, Oh yeah, they got a
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 4: new offensive coordinator. They got to learn the terminology. They
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 4: got to, that's why. But in the end, they're playing
• 2:41:30
  Speaker 4: football and running a lot of the same routes. It
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 4: is calling something different because one guy thinks he's smarter
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 4: than another guy. And unfortunately, That's what man-made religion has done,
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 4: as you said earlier about, there's this charismatic teacher somewhere
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 4: who's saying all this stuff.
• 2:41:48
  Speaker 17: Hey, people want to be entertained.
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 4: You know, I recently heard someone say, yeah, you know,
• 2:41:52
  Speaker 4: I go to this church because I feel good when
• 2:41:54
  Speaker 4: I leave.
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 3: What did the preacher say?
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but it was great.
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 4: Even when I was growing up, you know, in a
• 2:42:02
  Speaker 4: church I went to as a kid, I learned a
• 2:42:05
  Speaker 4: lot of great songs. I would leave there you know,
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 4: what kind of a pep rally feel, but I didn't
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 4: learn anything that I can apply to my life. And unfortunately,
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 4: because the focus was sin, sin, sin, all these religions
• 2:42:21
  Speaker 4: are focusing on sin. Sin doesn't separate us from God anymore.
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 4: The veil has been read into. And if you don't
• 2:42:28
  Speaker 4: know what that means, that means you don't know what
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 4: scripture is saying. But the point being is that what
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 4: separates God and man now is faith. And unfortunately, it's
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 4: often a lack thereof.
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, we're out of time, if you can believe it.
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 3: We need to do this again. It's Juan Roman. Juan,
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 3: we've had a marvelous session here. Thank you so much, brother.
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you for sharing with us today. And we're sure
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 3: to have you back. And God bless you. We'll be
• 2:42:54
  Speaker 3: praying for your dad. We'll be praying for you. And
• 2:42:58
  Speaker 3: thank you so much for sharing with us today.
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 4: Ultimately, Tony, the point I really want to make about
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 4: corruption is, whatever the form of corruption is, whether it's political,
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 4: whether it's any other way, it's sports, anything. There's a
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 4: lot of corrupt things going on in our world today.
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 4: And we look around and we go, this doesn't make sense.
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 4: This doesn't make sense.
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 17: It doesn't make sense.
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense because if you're created in the
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 4: image of God, which we are, we all are, we're
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 4: not all children of God. That's not until we put
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 4: our faith in Christ. But if we're all creating an image,
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 4: we kind of sense right and wrong, as you said,
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 4: trying to fill this void. So unfortunately, corruption is, is
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 4: a byproduct of sin. And as long as there's sin
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 4: in the world, you're going to have corruption.
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 9: Amen.
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 8: Amen.
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 3: We can go on and on, and we will, and
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 3: we will have you back. It's Juan Roman. Juan, thank
• 2:43:50

• 2:45:16
  Speaker 2: Story that came up, a U.S.
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 3: Border Patrol agent stopped an immigrant at the border, and
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 3: the Border Patrol agent said, I can't let you in.
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 3: The immigrant said, oh, sir, I got to come in.
• 2:45:27
  Speaker 3: He said, okay, you got to tell me three English words,
• 2:45:31
  Speaker 3: and I'll let you in. The words are green, pink,
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 3: and yellow. Now, use them all in one sentence. So
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 3: the Mexican man, it's the Mexican border, said, okay. The
• 2:45:41
  Speaker 3: phone went green, green, green. I pick it up and.
