5:32
[SPEAKER_24]: uh... let's see uh... joy forth now you know ninety three percent of republicans say they're proud to be americans but uh... like thirty percent of democrats do so that's why this is kind of a mix bag holiday a lot of people are happy about the two hundred fifty of birth day and proud to be americans but a lot of people could give a damn yeah

[SPEAKER_24]: How about those two love birds, love birds?
6:41
[SPEAKER_24]: They were scaled the state office buildings or not the state, but the Empire State Building Spire climbed all the way to the top of the TV antenna.
6:49
[SPEAKER_24]: I got
6:53

6:59
[SPEAKER_24]: But you're watching that video, particularly the helicopter video, I'm up there looking down as I hold it.
7:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That is scary.
7:08
[SPEAKER_02]: That is scary.
7:11
[SPEAKER_24]: Why am I not on the air tomorrow?
7:13
[SPEAKER_24]: Because I don't feel like it.
7:13
[SPEAKER_24]: Because everybody else is off tomorrow.
7:15
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't feel like it.
7:18
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah.
7:20
[SPEAKER_24]: I want you to do something else to our door and use yourself elsewhere.
7:25
[SPEAKER_24]: Let's see.
7:27
[SPEAKER_24]: Going politics, and this won't really make the local news, because the kind of stuff they want to report on.
7:32
[SPEAKER_24]: But apparently, the State Board of Elections rule this morning to drop a big gen to be in the head.
7:39
[SPEAKER_24]: File petitions to get an independent line on the ballot.
7:42
[SPEAKER_24]: A second line, if you will.
7:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And apparently, as petitions were invalidated,
7:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, just a couple, a few hundred more than the minimum, and he tried to submit them, and they weren't able to get to them.
7:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you really tried to get to her three times a number you need, so.
8:02
[SPEAKER_24]: But will that be presented in the media as Democrat presents, fraudulence, they didn't know, of course not.
8:10
[SPEAKER_24]: Of course, I don't think it makes a difference in you.
8:13
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't think he's on the working family's line.
8:15
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't know why that is.
8:18
[SPEAKER_24]: Wasn't he believe in working or families?
8:22

8:39
[SPEAKER_24]: I mean, I don't get it.
8:40

[SPEAKER_24]: From Watertown has been invited to the best of our knowledge.
9:54
[SPEAKER_24]: The A-Listers in Watertown, and you know who they are, that'd be Johnny Spazano.
10:02
[SPEAKER_24]: He was hoping to get a plus one invitation, so he could take it a bus, but it didn't work out that way.
10:09

10:49
[SPEAKER_02]: What is wrong with him?
10:51
[SPEAKER_24]: If there's justice in the world and a god in heaven, they should all be killed in Russia for that.
10:57
[SPEAKER_24]: I mean, it's just like pointless.

[SPEAKER_24]: Really, when you think about it.
11:04
[SPEAKER_24]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
11:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, mayors, you see they cancel the fireworks?
11:09
[SPEAKER_24]: I did see that, yes, that's too bad.
11:12
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the problem with rescheduling?
11:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, of course you have a rain gate on something like that.
11:23
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, I'm sure this year the fireworks providers, if you will, or companies, are pretty well booked up as far as all these holidays.
11:32
[SPEAKER_24]: Maybe they'll try to work out it I don't this plenty of other things I know this weekend you've got Sacketsarber Clayton Friday, Alex Bay Saturday, so It really is it's you know what can you do last night when I heard that I look Yeah, it really was raining pretty bad What can you do just go another night?
11:53
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, what's the problem so when I'm saying well the problem is The company that does the fireworks they're probably booked for tonight already
12:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, they're probably booked for that trip with this fireworks on over July and this time here, if they'll have to be on the 4th.
12:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, you know what I mean?
12:13
[SPEAKER_24]: Mm-hmm.
12:14
[SPEAKER_24]: You weren't able to take your parrot up there, where are you?
12:17
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I wasn't.
12:17
[SPEAKER_02]: It was coming down here in the city.
12:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been, we've done the bullet, I think it's going to Michael Burstop and Crogan area, took out trees.
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
12:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Hundred-five mile an hour, which could you imagine?
12:30
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, well, no, they did the right thing and calling it off.
12:32
[SPEAKER_24]: It was obviously, uh, uh, things.
12:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how many were there, but I didn't hear.
12:37
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, I, I drove through the park and after noon, I wasn't doing anything predatory as I'll be accused of in a moment, but, um, no, they were, uh, the horses up there.
12:47
[SPEAKER_24]: There were people up there sitting on the lawn.
12:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Blocked the roads off and they have to know.
12:53
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, the upper area was flat.
12:56
[SPEAKER_02]: You were just in the middle of the road.
12:58
[SPEAKER_24]: No, I got up there already.
13:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it was, yeah, yeah, it's the problem to use the park and block it off for people to use the park is what I have a problem with, you know, yeah, well today the pool is closed on the north side.
13:12
[SPEAKER_24]: It's beautiful outside.
13:13
[SPEAKER_24]: So figure that one out.
13:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't have a problem with a mayor.
13:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, two days out of fire, what's the big deal?
13:22
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, but how do you pick it up, too?
13:23
[SPEAKER_24]: That's the problem.
13:25
[SPEAKER_24]: You know, I could say, I own a bit.
13:26
[SPEAKER_24]: This is the difference between private sector and public sector thinking.
13:30
[SPEAKER_24]: I own a business.
13:31
[SPEAKER_24]: I could say, well, I don't think we'll be too busy Monday and Wednesday.
13:34
[SPEAKER_24]: I'll just close.
13:35
[SPEAKER_24]: But you can't do that.
13:36
[SPEAKER_24]: Last night, we had a huge night, and you never know what's going to happen.
13:40
[SPEAKER_24]: So, you know, but then in the public sector, they sit there and say, well, you know,
13:45
[SPEAKER_24]: we don't want to do it this way it's just the way they think and these people are well marinated trust me in uh... government think all of them here the other pool is open seven days a week well if we're going to have to pools open both of them period now if you don't want to pools and there's a valid argument to be made dig the big the ones not being used out of the ground get rid of them
14:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's a big deal.
14:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Two days a week, what's the big deal?
14:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Just go up to top some park.
14:16
[SPEAKER_02]: They got a boss trying to up there, I believe.
14:18
[SPEAKER_24]: Hmm.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause anybody heard a walking?

[SPEAKER_24]: He tried to have a second line on the ballot, and they ruled certain number of signatures.
19:48
[SPEAKER_24]: He was close anyway off.
19:50
[SPEAKER_24]: And that happened this morning in Albany.
19:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that is that a big deal or is it not really I mean it is a big deal.
20:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes Well, I can see a poem the effort put into it, but at the end of the day What would it affect the race?
20:10
[SPEAKER_03]: No, is it a big deal with he got balanced or invalid signatures?
20:14
[SPEAKER_24]: Yes Yeah, but I don't think the media will care oh God no.
20:20
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
20:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean there's thirst
20:24
[SPEAKER_03]: too many stupid things that nobody cares about for them to report on.
20:28
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, so the other day we read online that Constantine are called gender-been a feminine in Facebook posts.
20:41
[SPEAKER_24]: Is that a smart move?
20:44
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
20:45
[SPEAKER_03]: In all honesty, I'm a supporter of Anthony, but no.
20:49
[SPEAKER_24]: It's a Trumpian move.
20:52
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just, it's just dominant relevant.
20:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
20:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Shouldn't be gone.
20:57
[SPEAKER_24]: Now, I think that, as you look at the situation in that race, rather than attacking gender-been, because he clearly is a nice guy, he's your next-door neighbor.
21:09
[SPEAKER_24]: But you've got to go after the Democrat as, well, this guy may be a nice guy, but look at the people he hangs with.
21:16
[SPEAKER_24]: Remember Patty Richie when she won?
21:19
[SPEAKER_24]: she took out obertine because she linked obertine to the senate democrats and all but he the guys from the branch and all of that and with all of these so call socialist getting uh... winning primaries that's going to mean that mr. gender being will be in a caucus with a bunch of crazies like the lady out in Denver i think that's the way you go after well black is a nice guy a known for years and he's a nice guy
21:50
[SPEAKER_03]: because he's a nice guy you're going to go down there and you're going to get steam roll and these people are playing for keeps and they're going to say listen either you know here's the playbook you're going to say this you're going to do that you're going to vote for this or else in 18 months you're not going to have a penny in your campaign account and we're going to pick somebody else and you're done
22:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you can play nice all you want.
22:18
[SPEAKER_03]: You can play the set of money.
22:21
[SPEAKER_03]: But at the end of the day, you're going to vote 98% of the time with us.
22:27
[SPEAKER_03]: You're done.
22:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And he doesn't have any choice but to do it.
22:34
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the problem.
22:35
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a fine line where you can be a decent human being.
22:45
[SPEAKER_03]: but you also had, you know, you got to be able to lick the food the wrong way, too.
22:50
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah.
22:52
[SPEAKER_24]: Oh, that sounds gross.
22:53
[SPEAKER_24]: Um, anyway.
22:53
[SPEAKER_24]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
23:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, as not being part of the campaign, I mean, when I land for assembly, when I land for some of these offices, I can't tell you the miles that I walked ran jogged in the palms I pressed and the football sites real, I mean, the running joke about the New York 21st congressional district is we have parades up here to celebrate last week's parade.
23:43
[SPEAKER_24]: yeah well and there's any of it do any good though that's the thing you've got to go to where the people are yeah but there's any of that nonsense do any good i mean you can say i was it any got to go a little bit of it i get it but you know you can do all of that you did it all you didn't win um i didn't win because i'm poor
24:10
[SPEAKER_03]: and which is the the worst thing you can be running for any type of political office is you know hey I'm just a farmer and a guy that fixes turbine engines and a power plant you know I I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw away yeah what about the guys I'm not going to be like small and all against my farm and bankrupt myself
24:33
[SPEAKER_03]: But the other thing, too, is I've never had a chance to run against the Democrat.
24:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I've spent all my time running against the Republican Party and God forbid, look at the candidates that they've brought us, you know, John Burns, Smallen, the Republican Party doesn't do their homework, and they just go, oh, this guy's photogenic, and he lies without even breaking a sweat.
24:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So...
24:56
[SPEAKER_24]: he's a he's a what about you mentioned mr. small and who lost the primary to constant you know the Republican primary he's still on the ballot on the conservative line he hasn't told tomorrow to decline that nomination under law and you know a lot of people don't know that the media doesn't know that but that's what the lies and is he going to decline it or not we haven't heard anything you know this is this is where the conservative party should feel very used because
25:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Smallen is, smallen is extorting the conservative wine for his own personal gain.
25:34
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants money.
25:35
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants his campaign paid off.
25:37
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants a big job.
25:39
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants this and that.
25:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's extortion.
25:44
[SPEAKER_03]: That it should either be criminal or disqualifying for any type of a position.
25:52
[SPEAKER_24]: Isn't it just politics?
25:53
[SPEAKER_24]: That's what you do, I mean.
25:56
[SPEAKER_03]: He's selling a line for his own personal game.
26:00
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, yeah, but I remember, uh, well, I'm a lawyer of this, the governor said this is golden.
26:07
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, in this case, you've got something the other side wants, which is a declination.
26:14
[SPEAKER_24]: Why not?
26:16
[SPEAKER_24]: And we're not accusing him of extortion or doing anything wrong, but why not get something out of it?
26:26
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, well, he had to take the fall for Obama and that's it.
26:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, he did, but it's still.
26:33
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah.
26:34
[SPEAKER_03]: It's still illegal.
26:37
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's the illegal, you know, he's...
26:44
[SPEAKER_03]: It's unethical.
26:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm not sure the circumstances... Yeah.
26:47
[SPEAKER_24]: It is an always situation.
26:51
[SPEAKER_24]: uh... senator obama resigned the governor fills the vacancy temporarily to the next election that's the leverage that blagoia vitch had this is different this is a candidate who has a line and can as a courtesy decline uh... didn't used to be a couldn't get off the line but now you can and uh... why would need just be a good republican decline
27:18
[SPEAKER_03]: that's what that was should be done I mean to me to me reputation is everything and if you're quote a man of the people and you know or hero and all this other stuff and the people's best interest well the people's best interest is not letting another Democrat into Congress so he should be saying okay the voter spoke he won I can't win on the conservative line
27:46
[SPEAKER_03]: If it doesn't work out for Anthony this time, I can come back in two years.
27:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Instead, he's, you know, he's acting like a spoiled kid, and he's taking his tacos, and he's not letting anybody else play in the sandbox.
28:00
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what his intention is, and it's, you know.
28:03
[SPEAKER_24]: So if the weekend passes, and he's...
28:06
[SPEAKER_24]: If he does not decline, there's nothing that even God Almighty can do about it, right?
28:12
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
28:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
28:14
[SPEAKER_03]: If he does not decline and he stays on the conservative line, then that just creates a whole, they, that creates Bill Owens, that's, you know, D.D.
28:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Stose of Fava, you know, sorry, sorry, Mayor McDougall, but this is what happened with D.D.
28:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Stose of Fava and Doug Hoffman and Bill Owens.
28:35
[SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm.
28:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Doug, Doug Hoffman, but it was a little bit different situation with D, at that time.
28:43
[SPEAKER_03]: because the law was you couldn't just drop off of a line while they changed the law three or four years ago it's the same thing that happened to me with the conservative line in the assembly race back in uh... and you ended up throwing the race that the democrat didn't yet hey that that's what's i mean this is it's this is going to be a close race the democrats are motivated to vote
29:10
[SPEAKER_03]: we have a lousy governor candidate trump isn't on the ballot and so republicans are not really inspired to vote and democrats are so this this is going to be a much closer race than play because it's an open seat everybody's you know people are unknown to the republican party so you know like i said with with blake and running for governor there's not a lot of
29:39
[SPEAKER_03]: But Democrats, you know, a Democrat always, a Republican votes for one reason, they vote for somebody, a Democrat votes for two, they either vote for somebody or they vote against the Republican and that's the problem, that's the problem that we're facing, especially with small and staying on the conservative line.
29:59
[SPEAKER_24]: Now, the other big issue on this, just prior to the fourth is the big wedding at Madison Square
30:09
[SPEAKER_24]: And you're not invited.
30:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I know what I attend.
30:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I just have no use for those people.
30:26
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to be a celebrity, be a celebrity.
30:28
[SPEAKER_03]: When you're making a movie, make a movie, make music, whatever.
30:31
[SPEAKER_03]: And then go away.
30:34
[SPEAKER_03]: don't tell me I have to take back seeing don't tell me I have to take out where a mask at your concert to slow the spread.
30:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just I'm just so sick of these people that are so self-important.
30:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean you'd think they'd rent like jackson whole Wyoming or something like that and just you know take a small pound shut it down and do it that way.
30:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh no,
31:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it's something one other thing I know you're a pretty athletic guy even at your age put you have made it to the top of that spire on the Empire State building well considerate they say oh it's fourteen hundred seventy five feet know it wasn't they took an elevator to the hundred and second floor cut the lock off of a hatch to get access to the tower
31:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And the tower was only like 125 feet tall, so there was no real athletic ability other than, you know, not to happen to your pants while you were climbing up there at 1,400 feet in the air.
31:42
[SPEAKER_24]: Do you think, though, that you could, if you were suddenly up there and you looked down, what would happen?
31:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Nothing.
31:57
[SPEAKER_03]: I've done I've done high steel works, okay, so I still bother me, all right, there's some there's some people that just they Oh, they're not in the air and they just start spinning and I saw those helicopter photos and then up there and it just Wow, I didn't want that Well, but I would have had a safety harness and and fall and around for an hour and then they're arrested for various things
32:28
[SPEAKER_03]: They've already been released on their own or cognizance.
32:33
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to get a slap on the rest.
32:35
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to go home and they're going to make a couple of million bucks off of their Netflix documentary.
32:39
[SPEAKER_03]: This was a stunt.
32:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
32:41
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to, and probably what will happen is the producers of the documentary will pay their fine, and they're not even US citizens, so what's the worst thing that's going to happen?
32:53
[SPEAKER_03]: We're borrowing you from entrance into the United States for two years, well, they
32:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they go back to Russia, Ukraine, or whatever third world country it is, they came home, came from with a couple of million bucks in their pocket and they live like kings.

37:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome.
37:03
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, man.
37:04
[SPEAKER_24]: What's up?
37:05
[SPEAKER_05]: So I drive by the Watertown School high school pretty much every day and there's like 500 signs out front, say congratulations seniors and I'm really wondering what the point of that is you have to move them every time you move the lawn and there's literally 500 of them they go for three times a mile and the date is on them so you can't reuse them next year and they're made out of plastic so you get this giant pile of plastic that you buy to put out in the lawn
37:34
[SPEAKER_05]: and then throw away every year.
37:36
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't get it.
37:38
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, I seem they want to acknowledge their graduating class, but I agree it may be a lot of sighted.
37:44
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, they could probably not put the date on it.
37:47
[SPEAKER_05]: It's an awful lot of sighted.
37:49
[SPEAKER_05]: And you know, and in a time when everybody wants to be so green and so environmentally friendly to just burn up that much plastic, at the taxpayers expense,
38:04
[SPEAKER_05]: had to take it out and put it back in every time you mode.
38:07
[SPEAKER_24]: No.
38:09
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't even do political science anymore, just tell you the truth.
38:13
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah.
38:15
[SPEAKER_24]: Okay, well thanks for appalling.
38:17
[SPEAKER_24]: All right, bye now.
38:18
[SPEAKER_24]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.

[SPEAKER_24]: AM-1240WATM, good afternoon, you're one and all back on the hotline here.
41:48
[SPEAKER_24]: and uh... just enjoying the day here's we get ready for this big holiday hope you have travel plans hope you do it safely whatever you do if you're out on the waterways definitely uh... where that personal floatation device used to be called a life jacket uh... where one of those and i don't don't tell me oh i know how to swim or i i don't i have a big i'm a big mud roll man no no put one on when you're underway especially and uh... it's a good idea
42:16
[SPEAKER_24]: uh... what else uh... oh boy obviously don't drink and drive or don't get all well i guess you can smoke pot and drive that's okay but i i don't recommend it in today's world there's a lot of that a lot of people are stoned all day long and uh... the other one is uh... fireworks now
42:35
[SPEAKER_24]: they sell these ground effects fireworks which are of, you know, fairly benign, but a lot of people have the Pennsylvania South Carolina fireworks which are a little more festive shall we say.
42:46
[SPEAKER_24]: And we got to be careful.
42:48
[SPEAKER_24]: I thought maybe prior to the holiday, we'd hear something from our professionals, police, or fire, but well, we don't do that in our North
43:02
[SPEAKER_02]: that's not how we run things up here.
43:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
43:04
[SPEAKER_24]: So I'll give you the warning.
43:06
[SPEAKER_24]: Be careful.
43:07
[SPEAKER_24]: And don't like kids, light them.
43:09
[SPEAKER_24]: Don't have them around kids.
43:11
[SPEAKER_24]: I know you're going to light them anyway.
43:14
[SPEAKER_24]: My badminton's are going to mean anything, but she's make sure the kids are far away in all of that because some of these rockets they can take off and come right at you.
43:23
[SPEAKER_24]: And not a good thing.
43:24
[SPEAKER_24]: So I know you're going to use them because you're bottom.
43:27
[SPEAKER_24]: But, you know, don't have the kid.
43:29
[SPEAKER_24]: Hey, hold this M84 me, Junior, and I'll light it.
43:32
[SPEAKER_24]: No, don't do that.
43:35
[SPEAKER_24]: And, um, other than that, that's all I have to say on fireworks.
43:39
[SPEAKER_24]: Other things, you know, you've seen those commercials on TV for that glove, that you can get for your barbecue.
43:45
[SPEAKER_24]: And the guy puts the glove on and he puts his hand on a hot grill.
43:49
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, I don't know if those gloves work or not.
43:53
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't even know why you would want to put your hand on a hot grill.
43:58
[SPEAKER_24]: but go over and I don't do it, don't do it.
44:03
[SPEAKER_24]: And what else can you do for safety?
44:06
[SPEAKER_24]: We're talking about water safety, firework, grill safety, you know, don't spend the old days when you use brick hats and people would spray the fluid on an early, let no, don't do that.
44:18
[SPEAKER_24]: Don't do that.
44:20
[SPEAKER_24]: I never thought that fluid was good for you anyway, but the hell they ate it after that.
44:24
[SPEAKER_24]: So anyway,
44:27
[SPEAKER_24]: Those are a few things that you can get in trouble on this holiday and, uh, obviously, we'd recommend, uh, no, can I, can I recommend a condom on the ear or something?
44:42
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, it's just a good idea because you don't want to have a, you know, well, maybe you do, I don't know.
44:48
[SPEAKER_24]: Um, other things is not much else that I can think of.
44:52
[SPEAKER_24]: uh... don't speed don't give them the satisfaction of running up the numbers uh... all of that stuff so just be careful if you're out there and uh... i don't know i think it'll be a good good weekend for everybody it is a two hundred and fifty of the anniversary and you know what's so sad is that seventy percent of democrats don't love this country not a gallop pole said it not me and jeff Graham saying it don't get i don't get your
45:23
[SPEAKER_24]: Oh, it was mega.
45:24
[SPEAKER_24]: You're just mega scum.
45:25
[SPEAKER_24]: Now, that's the Gallup polling organization.
45:28
[SPEAKER_24]: Well, respected.
45:30
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, only 30% of Democrats love this country.
45:34
[SPEAKER_02]: God.
45:36
[SPEAKER_24]: I, you know, there's things.
45:38
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't like that the first policy.
45:40
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah.
45:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Not wild about this war.
45:44
[SPEAKER_24]: But, you know, you just look back and what the country's provided you?
45:51
[SPEAKER_24]: You know, come back at your parents who grew up, well, during World War II, they were younger adults in World War II, that served in the Army over in the Pacific, and to sit there and say this, 70% of Democrats don't love this country, what, doesn't mean whether you want to have socialist social programs, that has nothing to do with loving the country.
46:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just, you know, people who won't put a flag on it.
46:19
[SPEAKER_24]: They're not excited over the holiday at all, it's sad, I would say it's disgusting, but it's sad.
46:30
[SPEAKER_24]: That's the way I look at it, I don't know how you look at it.
46:34
[SPEAKER_24]: I've got a message in here when we get, well, let's see, does the bar have a backup generator?
46:42
[SPEAKER_24]: That's a strange question.
46:43
[SPEAKER_24]: Yes, we do.
46:50
[SPEAKER_24]: I mean, we wouldn't be on in 30 seconds, we'd be on very quickly.
46:54
[SPEAKER_24]: I don't see that happening, oh, you're gonna sabotage my electric entrance or something.
47:00
[SPEAKER_02]: The streams, thank you, say.
47:01
[SPEAKER_24]: But after noon here, I'm here.
47:05
[SPEAKER_24]: Hello.
47:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, hey, I'm a Democrat, I'm pretty hard to be Democrat and why I disagree with that stuff.
47:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't like the mayor in New York City.
47:17
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm still wedged and I do love the country.
47:20
[SPEAKER_04]: I've got a flag on my front door.
47:23
[SPEAKER_24]: Good for you.
47:24
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, that's for everybody, I mean, it's like the bomb room.
47:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I told you, the bomb was going to be around wrong with and Trump's going to be president.
47:35
[SPEAKER_04]: There will be for every president can enjoy the bomb room that will care.
47:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Every Republican.
47:44
[SPEAKER_04]: But he knows how to build stuff for him, and have people build stuff.
47:47
[SPEAKER_24]: Right.
47:48
[SPEAKER_04]: So, uh, yeah.

48:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I was in New Jersey.
48:53
[SPEAKER_04]: And I seen a poster that said, really, that should Democrats welcome for free.
49:00
[SPEAKER_04]: And they had free food and free food.
49:02
[SPEAKER_24]: You know, I don't want to divide the country anymore by saying too much that
49:07
[SPEAKER_24]: that they don't love America, but there is a big element out there, and whether you want to give them a party label or not, because people don't like labels anymore, but there's an awful lot of people who openly don't really give a hoot about this country.
49:21
[SPEAKER_24]: And the fact that they're willing to tear down statues and vandalize monuments and all of that, and that's okay in their mind.
49:32
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, that bothers me, you know, they ripped out a Teddy Roosevelt statue in front of the New York history museum It's just Yeah, and like the Civil War leaders for the South Karen down now has the old second
49:50
[SPEAKER_04]: If you forget history, well, you know, go to repeat it.
49:55
[SPEAKER_24]: The liberals like to label those generals for the south, which we were all part of the same country at the time.
50:01
[SPEAKER_24]: There was a schism.
50:02
[SPEAKER_24]: They like to make it sound like we're putting statues up for him learn goring or something.
50:06
[SPEAKER_24]: No, that's not the case.
50:09
[SPEAKER_24]: You know, these are people who fought for their side and for those people and those people, you know?

55:46
[SPEAKER_24]: fountains of whatever sparks or something.
55:49
[SPEAKER_24]: But generally speaking, no.
55:52
[SPEAKER_24]: You have to go to Pennsylvania to get them.
55:54
[SPEAKER_24]: And many of you will, many of you have.
55:59
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm not wanted to die of whatever, but you definitely got to be careful.
56:06
[SPEAKER_24]: And you got to remember, you can say, well, I'm just, you set them off and some neighbors kid gets hurt.
56:11
[SPEAKER_24]: You're going to be on a
56:13
[SPEAKER_24]: You know, in the dock at there for it.
56:15
[SPEAKER_24]: So, you know, that's not a good thing.
56:17
[SPEAKER_24]: And, but I remember where you have sparklers as a kid.
56:24
[SPEAKER_24]: Nobody cared, remember the little snakes?
56:26
[SPEAKER_24]: I guess those are illegal in New York.
56:28
[SPEAKER_24]: You'll light them in a black ash thing comes out of them.
56:34
[SPEAKER_24]: That was a big deal.
56:37
[SPEAKER_24]: Then they had those cone, you'd light them in a spray of stuff that you come out.
56:42
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, the America I grew up in, you still have a good, I can remember the neighborhood I was in in Chevy Chase.
56:49
[SPEAKER_24]: They had a good humor man, you know, they have some guy here named, I don't know, there's some independent guy, but back in those days, you had an actual good humor man driving down the street.
57:00
[SPEAKER_24]: Yes, sir, Reed, that was the America I grew up in, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
57:09
[SPEAKER_24]: courtesy of Herringers over at 2 to 3 over it, right outside the Flynn pool, all right?
57:19
[SPEAKER_24]: That's the one on the north side.

[SPEAKER_24]: We heard it was open, but is that screen?
57:26
[SPEAKER_02]: That's great.
57:27
[SPEAKER_24]: Yeah, and yesterday I drove through the park and there were a lot of people in the zoo parking lot was full.
57:34
[SPEAKER_24]: And there were a ton of people over in the pool.
57:39
[SPEAKER_24]: Um, in the water out of the water, whatever, it's too bad we can't do anything with that.
57:45
[SPEAKER_24]: What used to be the bathhouse that the other end of the new pool, you know, put our refreshments stand in there, some restroom, with something, I don't know.
57:55
[SPEAKER_24]: It just strikes me as strange we left that up.
57:59
[SPEAKER_24]: And I know they say, well, you know, hippo said you had to leave a ship over some agency.
58:04
[SPEAKER_24]: But what's the point of leaving them up if you're not going to do anything with it?
58:08
[SPEAKER_24]: So, I'd like to see something done with that.
58:12
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay?
58:12

58:17
