11:09
[SPEAKER_16]: And he also did kill the MIT I, too, they said.
11:13
[SPEAKER_16]: But there's Fox right in the middle of the interrupter.

11:21
[SPEAKER_16]: Is that now the Erica Kirk network?
11:30
[SPEAKER_16]: So all I seem to talk about now, I don't I think there is news value in that organization and the effect on the body politics and the other networks probably ignore it.
11:42
[SPEAKER_16]: But Fox is like, that's all they talk.
11:43
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, Charlie this, and what's Erica got to say today?
11:47
[SPEAKER_16]: I have no idea what she's got to say.

12:11
[SPEAKER_16]: goodly amount of money make a difference in your life i always you know talk about things about why don't we ever find out what happens to these people get the uh... when the money and somebody always well you wouldn't want anybody to know with you first of all people are gonna know you know if the state doesn't announce your name and you're gonna tell people aren't you maybe not the first day if you're smart you'll
12:38
[SPEAKER_16]: I'll hide at home for a couple of days so you can get your thoughts together, but you know, if there was a $300 million winner here in Watertown, you know, and I were in the news media, I'd be trying to, I'd be finding out who it is.
12:53
[SPEAKER_16]: It's good news people want to hear about it.
12:59
[SPEAKER_16]: But a lot of the media would just say, well, if they don't want to come forward with them, oh, okay, good afternoon you're on the air.
13:08
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, Mayor did, did you see who helped out on the Providence rule island issue there?
13:16

13:20
[SPEAKER_15]: Are you people running the homeless down?
13:22
[SPEAKER_15]: If it wasn't for this guy, this guy would still be on the loose or probably out of the country.
13:28
[SPEAKER_15]: You know?
13:29
[SPEAKER_15]: That could be.
13:30
[SPEAKER_15]: They should clean house at Brown University.
13:33
[SPEAKER_15]: The woman running the university does even know what the hell's going on on a classroom on a Saturday The back doors unlocked Hmm Well the homeless guy was living in the basement wasn't he?
13:48
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes No Is the security guy running the security on the property?
13:54
[SPEAKER_15]: He should be fired.
13:55
[SPEAKER_15]: This is the guy
13:58
[SPEAKER_15]: That was firing you, Paul, because he couldn't do the damn job, so they hired him here because of his race, because of the quarter-nonsense.

14:36
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, you know the, the big mystery to me is, and I know there was some connection between the shooter and that professor from years ago over in Portugal.
14:47
[SPEAKER_16]: Why would he shoot up this classroom?
14:50
[SPEAKER_16]: And then drive an hour up to Brookline to shoot a, I mean, there's got to be some reason.
14:58
[SPEAKER_16]: It just doesn't seem like these are events that they're telling the professor.
15:02
[SPEAKER_15]: You want the college with them in Portugal.
15:06
[SPEAKER_15]: A DEI person came over on a DEI program, everybody.

23:28
[SPEAKER_13]: They were 19% with them two year period, they were raised.
23:33

[SPEAKER_13]: That damn zoo needs to be closed.
23:41
[SPEAKER_13]: And I'm not a happy taxpayer.
23:42

30:30

30:49

[SPEAKER_29]: Years of putting everyone else first left her reflection looking tired.

39:46
[SPEAKER_16]: Got blown by the wind on its wheels and blew right through an intersection.
39:49
[SPEAKER_16]: dumpster on a loose empty kind of agency.
39:55
[SPEAKER_16]: So now that we're going to have a white Christmas, what's the impact on our friends in, you know, barn's corners that area?
40:03
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm sure they still have some snow, but they must have lost a lot down there.
40:08
[SPEAKER_16]: So I kind of hurt the, I mean, they were off to such an early start getting the trails ready and all that.
40:13
[SPEAKER_16]: Now, what happens?
40:16
[SPEAKER_16]: It's supposed to be relatively warm in the days to come.
40:26
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, that's, that's definitely up there.
40:32
[SPEAKER_16]: Ugh.
40:35
[SPEAKER_16]: Somebody said school's off for 18 days.
40:37
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, it's all January 5th.
40:41
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, you know, that was the time of the year.
40:43
[SPEAKER_16]: You'd go skiing and stuff if you were a kid and did all that stuff.
40:47
[SPEAKER_16]: Got to squeeze that all in there.
40:50
[SPEAKER_16]: Then you go back to school.
40:51
[SPEAKER_16]: Then you got, don't you have like a,
40:53
[SPEAKER_16]: a winter break in February another week then you get spring break and summer it's it's something but after dinner on the air okay we're gonna go through this again hi it's me if you can hear me that's great but i can't hear you i have a radio turned off all right well say what you want to say that i can't i have radio turned off i have my phone on
41:22
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm, but I'm not able to hear you.

[SPEAKER_16]: Well, then maybe there's something wrong with your phone.
41:29
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I'm going to trim my radio on, and he could go to all that good stuff.
41:33

[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, I don't know what to say.
41:47
[SPEAKER_16]: He's been calling for 40 years.
41:54
[SPEAKER_16]: So anyway, that old Brown University thing, you know, a lot of the media city now are complaining that they don't have enough cameras, how many cameras are supposed to have, it like a thousand of them, you know, you can't have cameras everywhere and that becomes a surveillance society and or
42:24
[SPEAKER_16]: Let the homeless man live in the basement, nothing against homeless man, but that seems like kind of an odd thing to me.
42:30
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
42:33
[SPEAKER_16]: Thank God they get their own excuse.
42:39
[SPEAKER_16]: He solved the crime.
42:42
[SPEAKER_16]: Thought the guy was up to something and tailed him around and got, you know.
42:47
[SPEAKER_16]: And then, apparently, the homeless guy tried to go to police by posting on a reddit page and then, and eventually, he had to go up to a police officer on the street a couple of days later.
42:58
[SPEAKER_16]: You'll say, weren't interested in what he had to say.
42:59
[SPEAKER_16]: Now, I hope he gets the 50 grand, but I got a feeling, if it's government, they're going to jerk him around.
43:05
[SPEAKER_16]: There's a, well, I'll know that was for the information, arrest and conviction, and, well, he's not going to be convicted of anything because he's dead, but they should give him the 50 grand, as far as I'm concerned.
43:17
[SPEAKER_16]: you know they were openly admitted last night that it was that guy cracked the case that they weren't going anywhere until he spoke up and helped him out so he should get the 50 grand.
43:32
[SPEAKER_16]: What do you think, shitty?
43:32
[SPEAKER_16]: 50 grand for a homeless guy?
43:38
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't know, does he get like welfare money too or no?
43:45
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't
43:49

[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
44:29
[SPEAKER_16]: Somebody said he should get the money, but in return, I'm going to catch him.
44:33
[SPEAKER_16]: Hey, listen, the guy solved the crime.
44:36
[SPEAKER_16]: So, there you go.

[SPEAKER_16]: I don't know what Johnny's doing over there if he's kissing the Blarny stone or something or other.
44:59
[SPEAKER_16]: It's I never pictured him as the type to go to Ireland.

45:09
[SPEAKER_16]: But we don't have those.

46:04
[SPEAKER_16]: Let's see.
46:09

46:22
[SPEAKER_16]: Once the change into the Donald Trump John F. Kennedy reforming arts and all right, I don't really agree with that.

46:38
[SPEAKER_16]: Although I think a lot of it probably is gone, but yeah, there still is considerable snow.
46:47
[SPEAKER_16]: There's a text from one of our listeners, God bless the angry man.
46:51
[SPEAKER_16]: I agree with that.
46:54
[SPEAKER_16]: We all agree with it.
46:57
[SPEAKER_16]: Somebody has to express the popular will.
47:04
[SPEAKER_16]: Everything can't be nambi-pan-b processed language and all of that.
47:07
[SPEAKER_16]: Somebody's got to get out there and tell it like it is.

47:35
[SPEAKER_14]: We're number 25.

47:45
[SPEAKER_14]: yet we spend more money on education than any of those other countries what's not right here something don't make sense but we're given our children all this time off summer vacation we're not teaching them and when we do a case some we teach them about whoa or boy wants to be a girl girl wants to be a boy this whole crap I mean what's going on well I don't know but
48:15

48:19
[SPEAKER_16]: No, we're the same.
48:20
[SPEAKER_14]: Do we blame the government or do we blame the school systems in each state?
48:26
[SPEAKER_14]: Each state is one differently than the other.
48:29
[SPEAKER_14]: And it's just insane when you look at the reality of it.

48:35
[SPEAKER_14]: Where are we going with our education?
48:39
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.

48:58
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
48:58
[UNKNOWN]: And they don't vacation because of this homeless man.
