- 7:03[SPEAKER_08]: This is good hip-breaking weather or something, too, because you've got a lot of packs, no one ice, and it's got that patino of water on it now from melting, and so things are extra slippery, so be extra careful, you should always be careful, but be extra careful today.

- 8:53[SPEAKER_08]: Who do I see looking at me but Walt Young?
- 8:57[SPEAKER_08]: Now a lot of you know Walt from his years at Capriera Volkswagen and I certainly know him from because we went to the same high school class I'm many, many, many, many years ago and a lot of people don't know Walt was again quite a bit of fame back in the 80s when he was runner up in the Mr. Pub contest.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_08]: Yep, his mantra at the time was dark side of the moon and not the pink Floyd album So it's good to see wild on the front page of the paper and uh, you know, it just goes to show Still got a lot of life in him.

- 10:11[SPEAKER_08]: They go, there's no.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_08]: Let's see.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_08]: It's heard on Channel 7, and he got rid of those wooden boxes up at the schools in aquasos, and he'd go, they don't need those.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_08]: There was other ways they can torment and torture children, you know.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_08]: Another report on CBS News a moment ago about that lottery winner in Georgia 983 million 4504 million dollar cash value, and they still keep saying they won't say who we is.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_08]: I don't think there is one.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_08]: I think that's a government hoax, so they can keep the money.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_08]: Just a government hoax.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_08]: Because it's good news, you want a lot of money, it's good news, right?
- 10:51[SPEAKER_08]: You know, if you win the Queen of Hearts up in Clayton today, you're going to be celebrating and telling people.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_08]: Now, why wouldn't you tell people?
- 11:00[SPEAKER_08]: One, you know, once you've got to, you know, you want to make yourself scarce for a couple weeks to get everything in order, but I don't believe it when they say, oh, it shows to remain anonymous.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_08]: No, the media shows to make them anonymous and media knows who they are.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_08]: 7-5-5-12-40, good afternoon here on the air.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_13]: Good afternoon, Jeff.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_13]: A couple of comments.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_13]: A big hundred billion dollar micron project, go up in the town of Clay just not with the Syracuse that we've been watching when we were listening about for the last two or three or four years.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_13]: A couple of months ago they said they were going to be on a two to three year delay.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_13]: Start the project.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_13]: has been reporting that they will start their $100 billion chip manufacturing plant starting January 16th of this month, the couple weeks away, so it was really surprised about that.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_13]: Huge change, one minute we're hearing two to three years delaying.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_13]: Well, how about we're hearing, what we're going to start this month, though?
- 12:10[SPEAKER_08]: How about what I have to say about it is, I'll believe it when I see it.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_13]: One of the other things, Jeff, and it's been discussed before on your show, is that big multi-purpose events center to go up proposed just west of Watertown, there was a local publication on a little free publication that I just learned about the other day, and I picked it up in the local grocery store, it's called Up North, never heard of it before, but it was free, it was right there by the checkout, so I picked it up.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_13]: I opened it up and I found a big article in it about the Thousand Islands Maltide Purpose event center that's proposed.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_13]: And in the thing, it never says one thing about when or where they proposed to put it up, you and I know through the media through the years and you have people in your show, there that it's talked about.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_13]: but this local article here doesn't say a thing about when it's proposed or how much.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, again, I'll believe it when I see it and I frankly don't think it's a good idea.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_13]: So all these people are exclaiming about how it's going to be, but they never know it, not there's not a bit in there about money or time or place.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_13]: Okay.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_13]: I thought I'd bring that out to you.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_13]: And see if you had any more comments.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_08]: All right, thank you.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_08]: what's kind of like solar panels you know I I just don't believe it I think we have multiple venues let's go over them together small venues like the old strand for very intimate events the state office building auditorium was re-done completely and that's suitable for pretty big events they're doing
- 14:05[SPEAKER_08]: You've got the high schools in the area all with very good many cases performing arts centers.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_08]: You have things like the arena for a bigger events of certain nature and other things in the area.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_08]: You've got to look at the population we have in the demand for these types of facilities and I don't know, I just don't buy into it.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_08]: especially out there you'd have traffic issues there's infrastructure issues you know you read in the paper this morning Mr. Lundie complaining about these infrastructure issues aren't corrected and it holds up projects as small as a coffee shop or something so no i don't think that's going to happen and uh... maybe it will the micron thing i don't know
- 14:58[SPEAKER_08]: I just remember solar panel mania down at the county idea here and it was like, oh, and we got to do this for him.
- 15:05[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_08]: Sometimes good intentions just work out.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_08]: Sometimes there are no good intentions.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_08]: And it's just whatever.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_08]: So that's the way I feel about it.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_08]: You can disagree and you can call me and tell me.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, let's see.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_08]: What have we got going on here?
- 15:30[SPEAKER_08]: obviously there's the horrible tragedy out in Minnesota.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_08]: Any death is horrible.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_08]: But the lady it was killed in her car.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_08]: To me that.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_08]: Well, everybody jumped to conclusions and, of course, the mayor comes out and says he wants ice to get the, I can't say it on the air out of Minneapolis.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_08]: So, you know, that kind of stuff is.
- 15:53[SPEAKER_08]: out of line and everybody jumped to conclusion is including Christie known no more media they called it domestic terrorism.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_08]: I think the guy had a hair trigger I think it's more like the Ashley Babock case in my mind.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_08]: You have people looking for a provocation.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_08]: They were coached to do it by the media and by the Democratic politicians.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_08]: You know, the idea that you're driving your car around, trying to block ice agents from doing their job and not a good idea, I don't think using lethal force on her was justified, but I don't know what you do.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, probably the same thing as the officer in the Ashley Babak case, the government closes ranks and that's that.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_08]: But we got to stop trying to whip up these frenzies.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_08]: I think the ice thing is where I'm then, you know, politically and everything else.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, we've been, I was talking to somebody this morning who's, from another country and he said, I remember when the kid's mother got deported or something and then,
- 17:07[SPEAKER_08]: You know, and that was well before Trump and everything.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_08]: So that's been going on for a long time, and nobody really cared.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_08]: It was just, you know, but these roundups, I think, were in thin and people's patients.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_08]: And the way the left is trying to, you know, weaponize it, too, is not good.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_08]: Now, they get these people kind of simple, well-intentioned souls and get them all worked up.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_08]: And then send them out into the fray.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and unfortunately, when you,
- 17:33[SPEAKER_13]: have enough chaos going on sooner or later something bad happens and that's what happened yesterday good afternoon here in the on the air good afternoon just the doff does it disagree with the on that one friend okay yeah the the woman's the woman was harassing them all day long and then she tried to run one of them over when they they had enough to try to rest her she wouldn't get out of the car she tried to run over the
- 18:03[SPEAKER_13]: That's the way I see the video.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_08]: Well, did she do something that required lethal force?
- 18:12[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
- 18:12[SPEAKER_13]: It's one of them.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_13]: Remember he ended up in the hospital.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_13]: She had one of the officers who ended up in the hospital.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_08]: Look at, I'm not saying what you did.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_08]: And she was a simple soul who was encouraged by the left wing to do it.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_08]: You know, sensible people like us don't do that.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_08]: If you want to stand on the sidewalk for the sign, go ahead.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_08]: But you don't get involved in that, on the other hand, should she have, I don't think Ashley Babitt deserved to die.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_08]: But Democrats do.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_13]: And then, that's the whole different thing.
- 18:39[SPEAKER_13]: I wouldn't equate to two.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_13]: That wouldn't equate to two.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_08]: But I've had a lot of Democrats say to me, Ashley Babitt deserved it.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_08]: Good for her.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_08]: She's dead.
- 18:47[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, I know.
- 18:47[SPEAKER_13]: Well, because you know how they are, they think they got one frame of mind.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_13]: If they're not in power, they'll do anything to get back into that.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, when you take innocent.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_13]: regular people and they're, you get them fired up and next thing, you know, they're putting sugar in your gas tank because, you know, they didn't get their way.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, you know, union members and so on, that get carried away sometimes.
- 19:12[SPEAKER_13]: You've seen the headaches.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_13]: I've seen it before when I worked at the irreversence.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_13]: And just, I don't know, I just, that side just thinks they can do anything.
- 19:22[UNKNOWN]: And I'll tell you where to start it.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_13]: was a probation or a suspended sentence, but the men as he got away with that, the left said, hey, you know what, we can get away with any.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_13]: We can go to the vice president's house and smash his windows out with a hammer because he's vice president of Donald Trump.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_08]: You and I trans.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_13]: We can take, we can attack his building, we can, we can, you know, try to destroy his business.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_13]: Everything because we don't like him because he took us out of power.
- 20:00[SPEAKER_13]: And he's going after our people, look at this whole Somalia thing, you know, with the, with the layering centers, you know, Yeah, I understand that.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_08]: I'm, I'm not here to excuse what's going on, but on the other hand.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_13]: Uh, it's always unfortunate when somebody gets killed.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_13]: And we all, you know, we, we don't want to see it.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_13]: You might be dating.
- 20:24[SPEAKER_13]: But I'm the state token too.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_13]: We can't excuse this woman's behavior.
- 20:31[SPEAKER_13]: she used a weapon she tried she ran over an officer with her man right actually barbell that it was unarmed and going through a window like everybody else was mm-hmm and the officer the shatter was the same officer that left his gun in the back one time yeah you know and another thing so I mean I don't know it's just I don't know either
- 21:01[SPEAKER_08]: was going to happen eventually somewhere.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_08]: Of course.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_08]: If you keep provoking your poking the bear, the bear is going to lash out.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_13]: And when they demonize, they demonize ice agents for doing their job.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_13]: These people came here illegally.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_13]: What they're doing is saying, you came over this border illegally.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_13]: By the law, the these people passed.
- 21:28[UNKNOWN]: We're gonna enforce the law.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_13]: Well, what's the deal there?
- 21:32[SPEAKER_13]: What do you do?
- 21:33[SPEAKER_13]: I don't get it.
- 21:34[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I don't either.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_13]: I literally don't.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_13]: And then, and then to come out, it's a port, uh, the uh, the legal president of Ben's
- 22:00[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I think Rodriguez was she in on it, I think she gave up her, uh, gave up the president to us.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_08]: So that's why we're playing nice with it at the moment.

- 24:43[SPEAKER_08]: You don't have to climb up on them and fall off and whatever.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_08]: Let's see, AOC accuses Fox of sexual harassment.
- 25:09[SPEAKER_08]: Huh?
- 25:10[SPEAKER_08]: What happened here?
- 25:13[SPEAKER_08]: No.
- 25:16[SPEAKER_08]: One of their producers?
- 25:21[UNKNOWN]: Huh?
- 25:26[SPEAKER_08]: This guy asked good to be on their show and she says he was he had he has sexualized and harassed me on the show oh my god oh my god so world gone mad I'll tell you world gone mad um I don't know so what's happening with uh anything else in our state politics did you see that you know you people over in NY21
- 25:54[SPEAKER_08]: Now, over by Black River, Carthage Etter, and Louis County, well, Republicans got this primary between Anthony Constantineau, the sticker mule, as they call him.
- 26:07[SPEAKER_08]: And Robert Smullen, the assemblyman from Johnstown, who put out this fundraising request yesterday, he keeps telling, we've got to elect a Colonel, a Marine Colonel, I don't care if you're a Marine Colonel, retired Marine Colonel.
- 26:23[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's an interesting bit of a resume, you should put it on your palm card and, you know, so I know what you did in life.
- 26:28[SPEAKER_08]: But, no, I don't care whether we have a Marine Colonel in there or not.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_08]: But anyway, you know, when he called, when did he called Mr. Constantino and like mentally he's something or other?
- 26:42[SPEAKER_08]: And it's a nasty little race.
- 26:45[SPEAKER_08]: And I think Blake Gendabene's going to probably win that if he plays his cards right.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_08]: He did come to the, he made a good move.
- 26:52[SPEAKER_08]: He came to the Pearl Street.
- 26:55[SPEAKER_08]: Unfortunately, I wasn't there.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_08]: Next time he comes, I will call I had and I'll make sure I'm there.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_08]: Um, just you want to be in good terms.
- 27:04[SPEAKER_08]: I, I, looking at the race now, and you can have your, look at, I know that
- 27:12[SPEAKER_08]: You'll hear the usual people say, no, this is Republican areas, no, look around, it's not.
- 27:17[SPEAKER_08]: This area is a mixed bag leaning slightly Republican.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_08]: St. Lawrence County is, I can go either way, Franklin Clinton and Essex counties are Democratic counties.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_08]: It was one's along the Mohawk or pretty solid Republican.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, night of county, the portion that's in that district is, that's a little bit, you know, either way.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_08]: So, no, that's not a, that's a seat that it looks like Republicans may lose.
- 27:45[SPEAKER_08]: I'm probably, I don't know who's a stronger candidate, but they're going to have to, well, we'll see.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_08]: We'll see who gets their petitions out and all of that.
- 27:56[SPEAKER_08]: Or whether there's a third candidate that Mark Molonaro, the former congressman in County
- 28:04[SPEAKER_08]: He's talked about running.
- 28:05[SPEAKER_08]: He was an article in the New York Post yesterday to have to get my political news elsewhere because there are no, fact, there are no Fred Dickers in Watertown.
- 28:16[SPEAKER_08]: Watertown does not have a Fred Dicker, unfortunately.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_08]: And so we get it from elsewhere and his name's been mentioned too.
- 28:25[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know, I don't know what's going to happen, but
- 28:30[SPEAKER_08]: Mr. Konstantino has a poll out, so it's showing him a hat.
- 28:33[SPEAKER_08]: I suspect he probably is, given his name recognition.
- 28:37[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_08]: So, we'll see what happens in that race with the Marine Colonel and the stick removal and whoever else.

- 42:34[SPEAKER_10]: She just turned a car and it just kind of snubbed him not.
- 42:37[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah.
- 42:38[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, she was playing games, but she should not have been shot.
- 42:43[SPEAKER_10]: She was leaving the area, yeah.
- 42:45[SPEAKER_10]: That was clear.
- 42:46[SPEAKER_10]: It was as clear as the bell that she was leaving the area, driving away.
- 42:51[SPEAKER_10]: jumped up and tried to get her to open up the windows she wouldn't do any moves a little bit towards her from the car and apparently she turned the wheel and I get you and knocking back.
- 43:00[SPEAKER_10]: But yeah, that is, that's all, that was a horrible incident, you'll never happen.
- 43:07[SPEAKER_10]: But you know, what's what's amazing to me is Mr. Trump, I'm going to put this out on the table because it's a fact and news came out today.
- 43:17[SPEAKER_10]: He's supporting the protesters in Iran.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_10]: Did you read that article to me?
- 43:22[SPEAKER_14]: No.
- 43:23[SPEAKER_10]: To BBC, he's telling Iran back off the protesters and leave him alone.
- 43:29[SPEAKER_10]: And the protesters named the street after Trump there by the way in Iran.
- 43:34[SPEAKER_10]: And I guess I got him all fired up.
- 43:35[SPEAKER_10]: But he's not supporting protesters here in the United States.
- 43:39[SPEAKER_10]: And protesting is a way of life in this country.
- 43:42[SPEAKER_10]: If it's peaceful, peaceful, nonviolent,
- 43:46[SPEAKER_10]: processing, that's American is apple pie.
- 43:49[SPEAKER_08]: Well, here's the problem.
- 43:50[SPEAKER_08]: I think that sooner later there's going to be an incident.
- 43:54[SPEAKER_08]: You have enough confrontations, enough tensions, enough everybody on edge, and sooner or later something bad's going to happen.
- 44:02[SPEAKER_08]: It's shouldn't have.
- 44:03[SPEAKER_08]: I don't believe you should have shot that woman, but sooner or later that will happen.
- 44:08[SPEAKER_10]: I just wait.
- 44:09[SPEAKER_10]: They're way out of control.
- 44:10[SPEAKER_10]: They are way, way out of control.
- 44:13[SPEAKER_10]: uh... they have no they have no foundation we went right after thing this is like you know not to join in a thirties or something not to show me your papers to do this and you know so on a grandstomping dragging my country uh... women and children a separate mother from their children pregnant women is it just this is really bad i mean really really i'm not exaggerating and i'm not trying to be uh... hyperbolic
- 44:40[SPEAKER_10]: And this is the work I've ever seen in my life.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_10]: And I just did this to contribute for all rights to be able to protest peacefully.
- 44:47[SPEAKER_14]: Right.
- 44:47[SPEAKER_10]: No matter what the issue is.
- 44:49[SPEAKER_10]: And the see this right now, it really makes much a lot of turn and it really does.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_10]: It's going to be some color.
- 44:55[SPEAKER_10]: It's not a call to end and say, you know, I know who they're going to be, what have you.
- 44:59[SPEAKER_10]: They did not go in show yesterday.
- 45:01[SPEAKER_10]: It insults to me, defamed me and what have you.
- 45:03[SPEAKER_10]: But I don't care.
- 45:05[SPEAKER_10]: No, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm.
- 45:09[SPEAKER_10]: I'm just, I'm so disappointed in our country right now.
- 45:18[SPEAKER_10]: It's all one sided.
- 45:19[SPEAKER_10]: And this thing now we've Trump supporting Iranian protesters and tell them to come back off the protesters.
- 45:27[SPEAKER_10]: In Iran, he just almost bombed the novel out of it.
- 45:31[SPEAKER_10]: He's just into a couple of months back.
- 45:34[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
- 45:34[SPEAKER_08]: I gotcha.
- 45:34[SPEAKER_08]: All right, well, Danny, I got to run.
- 45:36[SPEAKER_08]: I got to call, but I agree with you on a lot of that.
- 45:39[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
- 45:40[SPEAKER_08]: I'm buying up.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_08]: But after dinner on the air.
- 45:44[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I'm trying to keep a lucid up.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_11]: Danny predictably and conveniently forgets the facts.
- 45:52[SPEAKER_11]: There was an officer at the side of the car.
- 45:55[SPEAKER_11]: That's the one he wants to focus on.
- 45:58[SPEAKER_11]: Unfortunately, there was an officer in front of the car.
- 46:02[SPEAKER_11]: And when she accelerated, the guy in front,
- 46:07[SPEAKER_11]: That's when he fired his rounds, he fired his shot.
- 46:11[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, Danny is so predictable or anything.
- 46:14[SPEAKER_08]: But what was his goal?
- 46:15[SPEAKER_08]: Because fired.
- 46:16[SPEAKER_08]: It's trumped in there and he gets all this stuff.
- 46:19[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I don't think he's lying this time.
- 46:21[SPEAKER_11]: I think he's just blunt.
- 46:23[SPEAKER_08]: No, listen, I'm not interested in arguing about Danny.
- 46:26[SPEAKER_08]: What was the guy hoping to do by firing?
- 46:30[SPEAKER_08]: Was he shooting to kill?
- 46:32[SPEAKER_08]: Because he did.
- 46:33[SPEAKER_08]: Was that his goal?
- 46:35[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that's a, you know, I'm not going to speak for the training of all police agencies but an attack by a car if you're in a situation where you can't run and remember they had trouble standing up there was so much ice on the street at the time that guy couldn't run away and here she is backing up getting the head start and then driving toward the opposite unlike what Danny said.
- 47:03[SPEAKER_11]: you know, he drives it right at him, you know, he could, he had a choice to jump out of the way or try to jump out of the way, or try to do something to stop the action, stop the attack.
- 47:18[SPEAKER_11]: You see, you see, you know, I don't think he was a terrorist.
- 47:22[SPEAKER_11]: I think he's just a foolish woman.
- 47:25[SPEAKER_11]: But it's like you've been saying throughout this show, when you set up that kind of thing,
- 47:31[SPEAKER_11]: And that kind of antagonistic situation, that kind of war in the streets, has been set up by the Danes in Minnesota.
- 47:40[SPEAKER_11]: That's your people, Dan, that have done this.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_11]: Now you've got a situation where it's not a control.
- 47:48[SPEAKER_11]: And you don't like to be reminded of that, but these are your policies, you know, screaming at all.
- 47:54[SPEAKER_11]: You should make a nice for things.
- 47:56[SPEAKER_11]: The real problem, Dan, is that
- 47:59[SPEAKER_11]: you about 20 million illegal into the country.
- 48:04[SPEAKER_11]: That's the problem.
- 48:05[SPEAKER_11]: The problem is not the gun or the officer or even the foolish woman.
- 48:11[SPEAKER_11]: The problem is you let 20 million people in.
- 48:15[SPEAKER_11]: You've never addressed that.
- 48:17[SPEAKER_11]: You missed that and I won't use the word lied.
- 48:20[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
- 48:21[SPEAKER_11]: Take it but what it's worth.
- 48:22[SPEAKER_11]: But you cannot let do that.
- 48:25[SPEAKER_11]: I got you.
- 48:27[SPEAKER_11]: And then to sit back and say, oh, she was just trying to go away.
- 48:33[SPEAKER_11]: That's such speculation.
- 48:36[SPEAKER_11]: You don't know.
- 48:37[SPEAKER_11]: There's the military.
- 48:39[SPEAKER_11]: I would gladly let the Marine Corps veterans elect all our presidents.
- 48:46[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
- 48:48[SPEAKER_11]: Because military, they're all, they're not traders.
- 48:52[SPEAKER_11]: They're a little American.
- 48:54[SPEAKER_11]: And, you know, if you let the military decide, you know, I mean, most of the time the Democrats don't want the military to vote, they mess up their overseas ballots and that kind of thing.
- 49:06[SPEAKER_11]: But, you know, unfortunately, you set the table for this.
- 49:14[SPEAKER_11]: And now you got a problem, and it's a wonder that it hasn't happened more often.
- 49:19[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, well, listen, I got a run, okay?
- 49:23[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, buddy.
- 49:24[SPEAKER_08]: But here from Gary and Danny, a couple of our favorite people.
- 49:28[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, see, they're starting to take applications for that apartment building.
- 49:31[SPEAKER_08]: It's called the apartments at Millen Main.
- 49:35[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, pretty clever name.
- 49:37[SPEAKER_08]: And, um, beautiful building, yeah.
- 49:41[SPEAKER_08]: Let's see, household income limits.
- 49:45[SPEAKER_08]: I can't really see it too well, but the pens on the apartment, but around 30,000
- 49:54[SPEAKER_08]: Sounds of me to be a pretty nice, uh, gig, beautiful brand new apartments, new appliances.
- 49:59[SPEAKER_08]: If you're really a conscientious person who'd like a nice place to live, unfortunately, not sure how that'll end up.
- 50:08[SPEAKER_08]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
- 50:10[SPEAKER_09]: Are you doing, sir?
- 50:11[SPEAKER_08]: You're right.
- 50:11[SPEAKER_08]: What's up?
- 50:12[UNKNOWN]: Oh, just listening to the show.
- 50:15[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I can kind of know, I want to see the sun just a little bit, uh, uh, China.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_09]: That's okay.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
- 50:21[SPEAKER_08]: You're quickly.
- 50:24[SPEAKER_09]: I was just wondering if anybody's paying attention to the news coming up about that is real being a CIA narco state and having the release of the all the drama trance names and Chuck Schumer's name is on that list.
- 50:40[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
- 50:42[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I don't know about that.
- 50:43[SPEAKER_08]: I know there's a lot of hypocrisy and senator Schumer's top of the list there, so yeah, they're very definitely, yep.
- 50:49[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
- 50:54[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, people are so weak minded that they're gonna You know, we'll catch in the ministerial things.
- 51:01[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
- 51:02[UNKNOWN]: We got some serious stuff going on.
- 51:03[SPEAKER_08]: I know we do and I got a run.
- 51:05[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
- 51:05[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you Good afternoon.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_08]: Quick call here.
- 51:11[SPEAKER_11]: Danny mentioned about the ice guys in Minnesota.
- 51:13[SPEAKER_11]: Why do they wear face masks?
- 51:15[SPEAKER_11]: Why don't they show their faces?
- 51:17[SPEAKER_08]: No, I don't know.
- 51:18[SPEAKER_11]: Do that badges?
- 51:20[SPEAKER_08]: The badge numbers?
- 51:24[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I don't like the whole thing anyway.
- 51:28[SPEAKER_08]: I think it's getting out of hand, all this confrontation.
- 51:31[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, agree, but it just seems odd that there are kind of hide behind the skirts of photos.
- 51:37[SPEAKER_08]: Well, they claim that, you know, they don't want them and their families threatened or whatever, but I don't know.
- 51:45[SPEAKER_08]: I think it's...
- 51:46[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sure the Marco PD doesn't eat it, but they have mages and numbers, and they're starting to get a form.
- 51:54[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah.
- 51:55[SPEAKER_08]: The fetching ones.
- 51:56[SPEAKER_14]: Okay.
- 51:57[SPEAKER_14]: Understood.
- 51:57[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
- 51:58[SPEAKER_08]: Very well.
- 51:58[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you right now.
- 52:00[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
- 52:00[SPEAKER_18]: When Curry is walked in, I got to a break.
- 52:03[SPEAKER_18]: No, real quick.
- 52:04[SPEAKER_18]: It's obvious.
- 52:06[SPEAKER_18]: They're protecting themselves.
- 52:07[SPEAKER_18]: They already.
- 52:08[SPEAKER_18]: The left already knows who that shooter was.
- 52:11[SPEAKER_18]: So that's called doxing.
- 52:12[SPEAKER_18]: I think it's called.
- 52:13[SPEAKER_18]: So that they know where he lives.
- 52:15[SPEAKER_18]: And more than likely, he's going to need security detail.
- 52:17[SPEAKER_18]: They cover their faces because the left wants them dead.
- 52:20[SPEAKER_18]: It's as simple as that.
- 52:21[SPEAKER_18]: I don't get that.
- 52:22[SPEAKER_18]: How they don't understand that.
- 52:23[SPEAKER_18]: If you're an ice agent, especially high profile city like Minneapolis right now, the last thing you want the left to know is who you are.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_18]: Simple as that.
- 52:30[SPEAKER_18]: Thank you.
- 52:31[SPEAKER_08]: Go ahead and remember it's like when you thought of Minneapolis and we thought a harming killer brew and stuff.
- 52:36[SPEAKER_08]: Now it's now look what they have.
- 52:38[SPEAKER_08]: Alright, we'll be back with more in a moment.

- 56:09[SPEAKER_08]: On this community broadcast your station.
- 56:11[SPEAKER_08]: You're looking more at these apartments available.
- 56:13[SPEAKER_08]: I guess some of them are 24 of the units at the apartments at Milan main are becoming available.
- 56:21[SPEAKER_08]: Application Deadline February 13.
- 56:31[SPEAKER_08]: Well, that's reasonable, but I mean, there's income limit.
- 56:36[SPEAKER_08]: But what if you're homeless?
- 56:37[SPEAKER_08]: You don't have $700, or then you get it free.
- 56:42[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
- 56:42[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it'd be nice to live in there, back brand new place and everything.
- 56:45[SPEAKER_08]: But, I don't know.
- 56:50[SPEAKER_08]: You know, a lot of the people there homeless are drug addicts or whatever.
- 56:53[SPEAKER_08]: It's going to be a little wild and moly, but just stay to your, mind your own business, you'll be okay.
- 56:59[SPEAKER_08]: Nice for the one over by the post office, I don't know.
- 57:05[SPEAKER_08]: And that's kind of a little different amount of allocation for housing.
- 57:09[SPEAKER_08]: It's not much around there, but it's good to see the property use for something.
- 57:19[SPEAKER_08]: So we'll see what happens, I don't know.
- 57:21[SPEAKER_08]: I just don't know.
- 57:24[SPEAKER_08]: Affordable housing, that's what they call it.
- 57:27[SPEAKER_08]: And I guess people say we need it.
- 57:31[SPEAKER_08]: All right, all right.
- 57:33[SPEAKER_08]: Now, where are we?
- 57:34[SPEAKER_08]: We got a couple of minutes left.
- 57:36[SPEAKER_08]: Where does country weather forecast?
- 57:38[SPEAKER_08]: It's actually pretty good.
- 57:39[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to see 48 degrees tomorrow.
- 57:42[SPEAKER_08]: Chance of rain still again, some slippery conditions.
- 57:44[SPEAKER_08]: Today, although temperatures are above freezing, it's still something to be careful of.
- 57:48[SPEAKER_08]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
- 57:50[SPEAKER_13]: Good afternoon, Jeff.
- 57:51[SPEAKER_13]: You know, I watched a lot of these cop shows.
- 57:53[SPEAKER_13]: And we had the incident last week.
- 57:59[SPEAKER_13]: in the back sheet or the front sheet of the car because he was felt like he was threatened.
- 58:05[SPEAKER_13]: So I can understand this guy and they're saying the team read that the guy was dragged with the car.
- 58:12[SPEAKER_13]: I haven't seen that.
- 58:13[SPEAKER_13]: I don't know anything about it.
- 58:14[SPEAKER_13]: But everybody knows that his right answer should have put a wood up.
- 58:19[SPEAKER_13]: You never know.
- 58:20[UNKNOWN]: It's terrible accident, it's terrible that we're
- 58:25[SPEAKER_08]: okay well i can't get into all that about a time i got a run thank you already that's so sure well i agree it's terrible and i agree it's a touchy subject whether you feel threatened or not i don't go again i would i think it's a pretty good comparison to the little Ashley babbit thing ten situations somebody had a hair trigger and made a bad decision and somebody died but when you're on the cusp there
- 58:54[SPEAKER_08]: and you deal with these people who are potentially violent these protesters and they've been haranging you all day trying to obstruct you from doing your job you are you are tense at wit's end and uh... more susceptible and i can say well you shouldn't have done it and i bet you if he had that brief moment in time to do over again he wouldn't have
- 59:23[SPEAKER_08]: have a good day, man, or something like that.
- 59:27[SPEAKER_08]: Anyway, that's it, that's about it.
- 59:29[SPEAKER_07]: So, I don't know.
- 59:35[SPEAKER_08]: I'm tired of hearing about Minnesota this week.
- 59:42[SPEAKER_08]: Well, that's it for today.
- 59:43[SPEAKER_08]: Glenn Curry already saw her here.
