- 5:21[SPEAKER_27]: Oh, you mean they don't want to have to go out and answer the public's questions and say, ah, a rural, we don't get to do anything.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_27]: It's a little bit arrogant.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_27]: They really got that whole J.B. wise thing, because they were the ones in the, in the cross areas of the public, we had a lot of questions about it rightfully so, but they're not going
- 5:44[SPEAKER_27]: and they'll be told by these corporation council that no.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_27]: There's a corporation council works for the manager and that's where powers and actually your lawyer, that's where they get most of their billable hours, not from council members calling them for the question, it's all the other nonsense.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_27]: How do we get Cliff only in jail, those kind of questions?
- 6:14[SPEAKER_27]: uh... new uh... loid herald it is the new board member replacing uh... mike perkins who reside that they've had a big turnover on that town board is to herbits in account and by trade by way we get to look at those books out there especially all that crap that went on during about that event center that was not a great thing was never going to get bill but if you said anything about it will but why don't you want to have to be a great
- 6:44[SPEAKER_27]: and yet the town spent all this money fixing up the roads and installing infrastructure for the owner of the property now as at all back and has develop a little property now because it has a new yeah but remember how they always use to say no town tax is out here that may be coming to it and uh... get the tough going
- 7:10[SPEAKER_27]: There's a headline team dead after being under-found under-responsive at a crown point hot-toned ground point is over by Lake Champagne, plain.
- 7:18[SPEAKER_27]: The last thing you want to do is call a police and say, I've got an unresponsive 14-year-old girl in my hot-toned.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_27]: I mean, that just doesn't, that's awkward.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_27]: It's very awkward.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_27]: Up in Potsdam, they passed a village ordinance to increase fines for property owners with code violations,
- 7:40[SPEAKER_27]: AOC Congresswoman, New York second tyrow, she, um, well, they took a poll in Ramford University of New Hampshire, you know, in H. And it showed, AOC, the top choice of Democrats, it was a by a narrow margin, it was close, it was, you know, it's still very early, it's one poll
- 8:09[SPEAKER_27]: They're not going to let New Hampshire be the first in a nation primary because there's too many white people there in Democrats don't like that.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_27]: So anyway, but still New Hampshire is significant and they asked AOC about it and she was very, I thought she was very gracious about it.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_27]: I don't, you know, I would never have thought that she would be a legitimate contender for the presidential nomination and I'm not a gangster or anything, I appreciate what she's done.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_27]: I love this thing.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_27]: Well, it's only a bartender.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_27]: Well, what will you do at an age 28?
- 8:44[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_27]: It's done pretty well for yourself, but I never would have thought she'd be presidential timber.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_27]: Now, she could have the Senate seat.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_27]: U.S. Senate seat in 28 easily.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_27]: Whether Schumer runs or not, but I didn't know about presidency, but a lot of other people are mentioning her name, too.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_27]: It's not just me.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, who grabs in fact right.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_27]: No, no, no, no, no.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_27]: There's a lot of other people.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_27]: Even Vice President Vance said he thinks she may be that not not many.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_27]: He may have been trolling, but still, I don't know.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_27]: What do you think about that?
- 9:23[SPEAKER_27]: AOC.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_27]: I mean, we get Democrats here in the building.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_27]: I'm not going to name them.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_27]: They might.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_27]: a cocktail party c o a o c's not but come November of twenty twenty eight they'll be voting for if she's a nominee of course they will yeah that's all about the party and uh... so that's interesting that's interesting uh... well i don't know what's the big problem at least today is uh...
- 9:57[SPEAKER_27]: Not just a straight-of-war moves, but a run-of-red sea, that other straight they got over there.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_27]: The hooties.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_27]: There's a...
- 10:06[SPEAKER_27]: There's a bunch of people that should be like... Yeah.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_27]: Whatever.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, you get sick of these people.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_27]: They got access to oil and money and everything else.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_27]: they get so intoxicated with being a terrorist, they think that's what happens when he gets to be 50, 60 years old.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_27]: It's like the guy who's always in a bar fight when he's young, and he's a real one of what happens when he gets older, and that's a long repealing, I don't know.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_27]: Anyway, we had a, people next door to the Pearl Street pub took a treat down today.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_27]: didn't take lives he had to be good 70 feet tall I mean it was huge it's the tree they got hit last yeah but the motorist now that's not why they took it down but it's nice to have it out of there like river tree service took it down they did a very professional job I was watching I watched them like I know what I'm doing right but I don't know if I can do what they were doing
- 11:14[SPEAKER_27]: It's the Charlie Savage died.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_27]: Remember how he was always very active in local politics?
- 11:20[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_27]: That's unfortunate.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_27]: And what else?
- 11:31[SPEAKER_27]: Oh, Sandy Corrie was Republican election commissioner.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_27]: I forget when she was in there, but she passed away.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_27]: That's sad.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_27]: We all like Sandy.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_17]: Sandra, excuse me.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_27]: I gotta do some live at five for ID, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know why they just told me I had to.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_10]: I'm warning you.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_27]: Whatever.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_27]: Somebody texted in the tree service, did a good job.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_27]: Throw a fire in one.
- 11:59[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, some people, they like to just drive around and watch things.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_27]: They did a nice job, no doubt about it.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_27]: Oh, let's see.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_27]: Well, is the lettuce thing over with, boy, I guess Taco Bell took a hit on that and it wasn't entirely justified.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_27]: So we'll get a taco, it's not going to hurt you.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_27]: Not going to hurt you.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_27]: So we're letting the Saudis have nuclear stuff now getting some of those centrifuges, that's great.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_27]: Let everybody have them.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_27]: Why should it be up to us whether they have them?
- 12:47[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, they got money, it's building.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know where they'd hide them in that country.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_27]: Isn't all just a, not much terrain there, it's just desert.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_27]: They don't have a pickaxe mountain to put it in.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_27]: So,
- 13:05[SPEAKER_27]: So what do you think of this Councilman Osborne wanting to counsel to have more say in things like emergency demolitions?
- 13:11[SPEAKER_27]: Like they need to be in on every.
- 13:13[SPEAKER_27]: That I hate to tell you Council, looking at that retrospect, that that was decided by certain people well ahead that they wanted that building out and the only way they're going to get it out is to clear it in emergency and use public money.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_27]: and if you want to know the people involved well go down to look at the building behind it that was certainly a big plus for the owners of that building so anyway seven five five twelve forty are number here three one five's the area code you folks up north cost octonsburg can't go north all places in between
- 14:05[SPEAKER_27]: all of that.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_27]: So glad to have you.

- 14:17[SPEAKER_27]: Yep, we're into the 21st congressional district now.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_27]: We can talk about that race with impunity because we're broadcasting within that district.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_27]: I do that blog, my grams view.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_27]: Some of you read it, some of you don't.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_27]: I get it.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_27]: Um, but, uh, the comment section, the comments people bring in.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_27]: Wow.
- 14:53[SPEAKER_27]: Uh, let's see, comment.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_08]: There we go.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_27]: Here's, that's nothing.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_27]: That says you were not meant to be a firefighter.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_27]: You were college material.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_27]: Oh, I could firefighters.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_27]: I respect them.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_27]: They're getting a new fire truck, $1.4 million for a ladder truck.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_27]: You know, the last time we got one, I remember, I found some in Cloth and Chief Gomont, and I went up in the platform that I was kind of.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_04]: you know you look down the ship shaft or tower or whatever and it's something there you know bobbing you said that's just connected to that truck by that little can we get down please yeah but after do they're on the air i just uh i'd like to make a comment about the uh building that the city tore down downtown 450,000 i think it was you know my opinion i'm a catchman here here i live in city and uh
- 15:56[SPEAKER_04]: I think there's a lot of other things that the city could have used at money parks.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm especially concerned that I'm not sure who made the decision, because maybe it's a secret, but it must have been either the city manager, top capital, or the city manager, or maybe coaxed in a acres.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm not sure why the city manager can't come out and let the public know who determined
- 16:26[SPEAKER_27]: Well, the same reason there was no transparency and who installed the speed bumps in the park.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_27]: They don't have to.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_04]: But they didn't even, the city doesn't even own the building.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_04]: And we just drove, but we had to go over to get some tells of the drug.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_04]: So we come down West Main Street.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_04]: And I think it's like, I don't know what it is.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_04]: It's to go or is down from the apartment building is condemned.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_04]: And if you look at that, the roof is already, the shingles are up.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_04]: But it's almost ready to cave in.
- 16:56[SPEAKER_04]: You know, why don't we tear that one down next to you and let this next to two houses?
- 17:01[SPEAKER_27]: Exactly.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_27]: Because I think this was an inside deal, but the folks making these decisions don't see these buildings because they're not on roads they travel when they go home.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_27]: Here and simple.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_04]: I just think that, you know, if they did it, they did it, but why can't we as taxpayers,
- 17:25[SPEAKER_04]: who made the decision and be transparent about it.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_04]: Why is everything so secret?
- 17:30[SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand that.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_27]: Hmm.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_04]: You know.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_04]: But anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_27]: I didn't know if you had- Yeah, now that you look at it now that it's down, the building behind it has some nice windows.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_27]: A little facade work would spruce it up.
- 17:46[SPEAKER_27]: But they're big winners.
- 17:48[SPEAKER_27]: The owners of that building are big winners on this.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_27]: Right?
- 17:52[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I agree.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_04]: right I don't know I mean I don't know it just seems like if they can come out and tell you upfront and not the city council I think the city council definitely should be involved in it in the mayor and and if they're not involved
- 18:08[SPEAKER_04]: who made the decision, I don't, I just don't understand it.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_27]: Well, we, unfortunately, and we've all lived with us for decades.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_27]: And sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_27]: We have this city manager form of government in which the manager and his designees have absolute authority to do anything they want.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_27]: They'll sit there and tell the council, well, you can't, you can't afford to buy this swing sack because it has too much on, you know, but then without anyone's knowledge, they put a $10,000 door in their office.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_27]: And, you know, I mean, this has gone on for a hundred years.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_27]: I'm tired of it.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_27]: And I think it's about, I think you want somebody who's connected to the public via an election, deciding on these things, and they don't want that.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_27]: And well, the same thing with the school district, you know, you think they want the public involved in that?
- 19:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_27]: Would it, would it, would it an elected school superintendent?
- 19:05[SPEAKER_04]: order himself or brand new you can't in alley it public expanse yeah i don't think so i yeah i'm not really familiar with that but i and i i'm not a thing like i mean the city manager i think but he has he has an application to live in the city that you know he only doesn't yeah the council's determined that
- 19:25[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the council could be at all the council to determine that one, which I thought was the wrong way to go, but, uh, and unfortunately, although I hear wonderful things about her, the new police chief doesn't live in the city either.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I know I heard that too.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_27]: I mean, how do you, how do you connect with neighborhoods and things that are going on if you have no knowledge or or feel for it?
- 19:46[SPEAKER_27]: And that's not to say that this is not a spursions against the individuals.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_27]: This is just a matter of fact.
- 19:54[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, we got 80% of the fire and police on the city either, so I got you.
- 20:01[SPEAKER_04]: They don't have any money.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, granted, I think my personal feeling is that police officers have much more dangerous job.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_04]: They don't know if they're going home at night, firemen, pretty much 99% they're going to go home at night.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_04]: But firemen, we have to police officers in our family.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_04]: They don't live here.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_04]: on this uh... in Maryland but you know the thing is that that's a dangerous job and yet i think they should i just think they should live in city but that's me uh... i agree with you there's enough nice houses uh... but yeah that's the only you know that was the deal that that was the deal that was caught at the time
- 20:44[SPEAKER_27]: Um, they dressed up a contract that said you had to move in within six months.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_27]: They knew it wasn't going to happen.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_27]: All these signatories knew it wasn't going to happen.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_27]: And they say, well, so why that's just a little, you know, they just did that to get it done.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_27]: But that's exactly what happened.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_27]: And anybody who thinks otherwise is naive.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_27]: So you got this system, you better live with it.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_27]: But they're not going to allow the council to have any say on emergency demolitions.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_27]: I mean, like you said, you saw, was that you were a previous somebody said they saw a building that needs to come down.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_27]: You know, that building in Carfine Street needed to come down, but nobody knew about it.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
- 21:24[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I think the, uh,
- 21:26[SPEAKER_04]: You know, if they don't want to let the city council involved in the mayor, if the, I mean, I don't know who made the decision, was it, like I said, was it, uh, Dana Aikenzer, was it time camp or was city manager, but at least come out and tell us who made the decision and did they inspect it was an inspection done before they, you know, was going to fall down or not.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_04]: I just want transparency.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_27]: Well, good luck.
- 21:51[SPEAKER_27]: I don't mean to be rude, but good luck.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_04]: No, I know, I hear you.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I just wanted to make that call.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_04]: I'll do that.
- 21:57[SPEAKER_04]: That's my opinion, but thanks for taking my call.
- 21:59[SPEAKER_27]: All right.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_27]: Thanks.

- 26:04[SPEAKER_27]: It's the way these buildings are falling down, holy cow, you better have some guys who can pull you out.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_27]: it is at 23rd during today in tomorrow and again September 1 in 4th.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_27]: In the 300 block of flower revenue, so if you see some firefighters over there don't be alarmed, it's just training incidentally, is it flower Easter, wind's look?
- 26:27[SPEAKER_27]: They got, there's one house where the, where the grass is as high as an elephant's eye.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_27]: Now, I thought this city wouldn't mold that and then charge the property on it, which I have a problem with.
- 26:41[SPEAKER_27]: But again, doesn't anybody go down that street?
- 26:44[SPEAKER_27]: It's really, really high.
- 26:46[SPEAKER_27]: It's not as high as an elephant's eye, but it certainly is pretty high.
- 26:51[SPEAKER_27]: And I think it was, for flowery, so I didn't win slow, because I think it was wins slow, because I was cutting over from Washington over there.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_06]: I sat at town there.
- 27:12[SPEAKER_27]: But for your blog, a commenter is requesting you be removed from the air for your comments on the boat.
- 27:19[SPEAKER_27]: Now, you see, this is class of people out there who think always that you should be arrested for something that's not a crime or, you know, whatever, punished in some way, or they didn't like what you said, but take it off the air, what did I say about the boat?
- 27:39[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, I said the guy apologized and he paid his fine.
- 27:44[SPEAKER_27]: If he wants to come on the air here, he can sit at the chair next to me and apologize again.
- 27:48[SPEAKER_27]: He shouldn't have done it.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_27]: It was the wrong thing to do.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_27]: If that's what on the other hand, when you're in an event in which everybody's got a big speedboat, a big manly boat, a gold chain around the neck and bonds on the bow which I've ever boat.
- 28:02[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, um, you know, they're going to want to drive it over 30 miles an hour.
- 28:08[SPEAKER_27]: So I don't know.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_27]: I would not, I don't think you can really say to somebody we want, we don't want you here again.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_27]: Just my opinion.
- 28:22[SPEAKER_27]: My opinion.
- 28:24[SPEAKER_27]: Let's see.
- 28:26[SPEAKER_27]: What have we got here going on?
- 28:34[SPEAKER_27]: City-hired Neil Hatsman or Mowing Lines, yeah.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_27]: Well, it's too bad they can't get... Maybe some college kids home for this.
- 28:50[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know, but this one, I think it's on Winslow.
- 28:53[SPEAKER_27]: Pretty sure.
- 28:54[SPEAKER_27]: Pretty sure.
- 28:57[SPEAKER_27]: That grass is high.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_27]: Now, the property owner should be...
- 29:02[SPEAKER_27]: It's unfortunate that the people do that.
- 29:05[SPEAKER_27]: Some people are just unable to do to circumstance economics, whatever.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_27]: But if you've got our own property, you've got an obligation to maintain it, right?
- 29:12[SPEAKER_27]: Who might best have maintained mine?
- 29:15[SPEAKER_27]: So, I don't know what to say.
- 29:21[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know what to say.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_27]: Like the people,
- 29:28[SPEAKER_27]: Well, let's go to the other extreme.

- 29:41[SPEAKER_27]: Now, they were in need of it, but they just opened a little while ago, and they're investing in their property.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_27]: That's a good thing.

- 29:53[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 29:55[SPEAKER_27]: for making it safer and easier for customers.
- 29:59[SPEAKER_27]: The people like Stuart and me taking that tree down.
- 30:02[SPEAKER_27]: It needed to come down.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_27]: It was getting in the causing problems.
- 30:06[SPEAKER_27]: I'm sure it ain't cheap to get it done, but they're doing it.
- 30:10[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, there are a lot of property owners who do the right thing.
- 30:13[SPEAKER_27]: Not everybody just says, I don't care.
- 30:15[SPEAKER_27]: I'll leave it.
- 30:17[SPEAKER_27]: Hold on a roof.
- 30:18[SPEAKER_27]: What the hell?

- 45:37[SPEAKER_27]: Hey I'm 1240, you know something I saw a news jacket, another cannabis dispensary has been proposed this in for the city, we got two right, we have two or one.
- 45:48[SPEAKER_27]: This one's at 940 Arsenal Street in Watertown.
- 45:52[SPEAKER_27]: There used to be a beer store.
- 45:53[SPEAKER_27]: Remember there was a dexter shoes at one time then there was a beer store downstairs and liquor store upstairs, because you got to have separate entrances because the New York stupid laws, but the beer park closed down.
- 46:03[SPEAKER_27]: So now they're proposing a weed store could like getting that by the planning gurus.
- 46:10[SPEAKER_27]: Council will never even get a chance to weigh in on that.
- 46:13[SPEAKER_27]: That'll be shut down.
- 46:17[SPEAKER_27]: Good afternoon, Ryan and you air.
- 46:22[SPEAKER_16]: into the stream, but could you do us a favor and knock on Ken's door and let him know that the stream is down again.
- 46:31[SPEAKER_16]: It was working earlier, but it's down now.
- 46:34[SPEAKER_16]: And the squeaky wheel gets the grease, you know, so is nobody tells Ken about problems with the internet?
- 46:41[SPEAKER_27]: Oh no, I'm all for that.
- 46:42[SPEAKER_27]: I really tell him.
- 46:43[SPEAKER_16]: It doesn't get fixed.
- 46:44[SPEAKER_16]: It doesn't get fixed if nobody tells him.
- 46:46[SPEAKER_27]: I think one of the, I think so many people get on there, it overloads it.
- 46:54[SPEAKER_16]: I thank you.
- 46:55[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 46:56[SPEAKER_27]: I'll send them on message.
- 47:00[SPEAKER_27]: I won't give out his phone number here.
- 47:05[SPEAKER_27]: These junkies says stream is working, no interruptions just choppy.
- 47:10[SPEAKER_27]: It may be because of the massive number of people listening.
- 47:13[SPEAKER_27]: So don't forget you can hear us on 1240 AM on your AM dial or 92.7 FM if you're a little
- 47:23[SPEAKER_27]: Ogden'sburg can't that area.
- 47:26[SPEAKER_27]: Okay.
- 47:27[SPEAKER_27]: So those are alternatives.
- 47:30[SPEAKER_27]: Those are alternatives.
- 47:32[SPEAKER_27]: Anyway, this cannabis dispensary next to McDonald's.
- 47:38[SPEAKER_27]: Well, we got one next to McDonald's over and states for you.
- 47:42[SPEAKER_27]: But I don't think that's one of the little designated areas.
- 47:47[SPEAKER_27]: but the planners have decided you can have weed.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_27]: But then they'd let all these unlicensed shops open anywhere.
- 47:54[SPEAKER_27]: I don't get it.
- 47:56[SPEAKER_27]: I don't get it.
- 47:57[SPEAKER_27]: To see where the Great Northern Mall is being demolished this week, that's down near Fulton on Route 31.
- 48:02[SPEAKER_27]: You've probably been to it.
- 48:02[SPEAKER_27]: It opened in 1988, a little bit after our mall did.
- 48:06[SPEAKER_27]: But malls are going by the wayside.
- 48:10[SPEAKER_27]: Go and buy the wayside.
- 48:11[SPEAKER_27]: I'll tell ya.
- 48:18[SPEAKER_27]: And that's too bad.
- 48:18[SPEAKER_27]: Our mall up here.
- 48:19[SPEAKER_27]: I mean, this mall struggles, I mean, this got a couple of good stores like Best Buy and all of that, but most people enter from the outside inside.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_27]: I bouncy houses and they had one of those weed stores in there, but he got busted.
- 48:37[SPEAKER_27]: And now they got a lot of video slots, I guess.
- 48:40[SPEAKER_27]: I'm trying to do everything they can to turn dollars, but it's tough.
- 48:46[SPEAKER_27]: People with the internet, Walmart, and everything else, people don't go to malls anymore.
- 48:53[SPEAKER_27]: I'm up in your life, you go?
- 48:54[SPEAKER_27]: I mean, if he came such a fixture of American culture, I love all these people who write comments on, like story about the proposed weeds, why another one?
- 49:18[SPEAKER_27]: Boohoo, we have get something good for the family up here in the city.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_27]: That'd be most parents, it's no dope in front of their kids.
- 49:28[SPEAKER_27]: Just what we need, somebody said.
- 49:30[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 49:33[SPEAKER_04]: I think I don't think it'll get approved.
- 49:37[SPEAKER_27]: The city fathers and mothers will...
- 49:39[SPEAKER_27]: I don't even think they get to vote on it, do they?
- 49:42[SPEAKER_27]: They don't get to do much.
- 49:44[SPEAKER_06]: They're just sort of there.

- 54:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 54:36[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, I don't know why we haven't read anything in other media about this.
- 54:44[SPEAKER_27]: at the plaza over there on state street.
- 54:47[SPEAKER_27]: Those were owned by a very influential local business person, so they get a lot of publicity.
- 54:52[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know who this is, was proposing one for 940 Arsenal Street.
- 54:55[SPEAKER_27]: It shows up on an agenda for the Jefferson County planning board for no why they even consider things what they got to do with anything.
- 55:12[SPEAKER_27]: Now, one person commented, who cares?
- 55:15[SPEAKER_27]: No lower prices.
- 55:16[SPEAKER_27]: That's what people want, lower prices on weed.
- 55:19[SPEAKER_27]: And probably, probably your Yemenis, you know, it's like cigarettes.
- 55:24[SPEAKER_27]: You can get lower prices.
- 55:25[SPEAKER_27]: That's what people want.
- 55:29[SPEAKER_27]: That's what people want.

- 55:44[SPEAKER_04]: I can't keep track of this congressional race.
- 55:52[SPEAKER_27]: Johnson Tino says that some guy wrote an essay claiming that he called Blake Gendobine a Nazi, no call people Nazis, I know Nazis, you're no Nazi, yeah.
- 56:13[SPEAKER_27]: And since he knows denying he ever called Jen to be in a Nazi, I didn't know he, you see this is it?
- 56:21[SPEAKER_27]: Usually these provocative things.
- 56:24[SPEAKER_27]: They try to get you react to something that's not worth reacting to.
- 56:28[SPEAKER_27]: You don't have to, this is the problem Trump has.
- 56:30[SPEAKER_27]: You don't have to react to everything.
- 56:34[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, there's most people don't care one way or the other.
- 56:40[SPEAKER_27]: So I wouldn't react to it.
- 56:42[SPEAKER_27]: He says that somebody called him a Nazi.
- 56:45[SPEAKER_27]: But, I never read it anywhere.
- 56:51[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah.
- 56:54[SPEAKER_27]: Oh well, you're a Nazi.
- 56:57[SPEAKER_27]: I'm a Nazi.
- 56:58[SPEAKER_27]: Everybody's a Nazi, right?
- 57:01[SPEAKER_16]: So it isn't politics now, and it's really sad.
- 57:04[SPEAKER_27]: Really sad.
- 57:04[SPEAKER_27]: Have you seen my dominantly?
- 57:07[SPEAKER_27]: What an idiot.
- 57:10[SPEAKER_27]: It's elected mayor of the biggest city a chance to do something.
- 57:14[SPEAKER_27]: And he's out there trying to say, I want, I want, you know, Netanyahu arrested because some international can't group court.
- 57:24[SPEAKER_27]: No, you'd say.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_27]: And then he had to go on TV and admit he can't.
- 57:29[SPEAKER_27]: Let me explain it to you, Mayor.
- 57:31[SPEAKER_27]: The city of New York.
- 57:33[SPEAKER_27]: hosts the United Nations, an agency dedicated to countries getting together and helping each other and having dialogue, it doesn't always happen that way, and a forum for sharing their views.
- 57:48[SPEAKER_27]: We're lucky to have it, you know, that could be in Paris or in the hay, it could be in London, it could be in, I don't know, Cairo, it could be anywhere, but it's here.
- 58:04[SPEAKER_27]: You know, I didn't like AirFat that much, but when he came to speak, although he wasn't dead of a country, he was just dead.
- 58:12[SPEAKER_27]: Pretender.
- 58:13[SPEAKER_27]: But anyway, if they wanted to speak, he's got to come here.
- 58:17[SPEAKER_27]: And that means he's got to stay in a hotel and eat at the restaurants, but I mean, it is so transparent with these Democrats like Mondami.
- 58:26[SPEAKER_27]: Are they anti-Israel, or they just hate Jews?
- 58:31[SPEAKER_27]: Is that it?
- 58:32[SPEAKER_27]: Sure sounds like it.
- 58:36[SPEAKER_27]: I don't know, but it was a stupid thing to get in the middle of, you should be concentrating on other stuff.
- 58:44[SPEAKER_27]: And his buddy, the governor, how does she feel about it?
- 58:49[SPEAKER_27]: Anybody ask her?
- 58:52[SPEAKER_27]: They're like soul mates now.
- 58:54[SPEAKER_27]: Yeah, the hookle and Zoharhan, mom, Dami, yeah, I guess.
- 59:02[SPEAKER_27]: So anyway, we haven't got a lot of time left, but we can take a very quick call if somebody called in, if not.
- 59:09[SPEAKER_27]: So it's going to be a busy week for me tomorrow, I got to do both shows tomorrow, it's Friday and the same thing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I don't know why, I don't know why, but I'm doing it because I'm a nice guy and that we can complain about me twice in one day.
- 59:29[SPEAKER_27]: But we're glad to be here for all of our many viewers from sea to shining sea from Polasky to Waddington and everything in between.
- 59:38[SPEAKER_27]: We got your covered here at the hotline on where are we.
