Speaker 1: Hi, it's Phil Henry with another Radio Archive Hour for
0:02
Speaker 1: you today. And this is Herb Sewell, a very, very
0:05
Speaker 1: early incarnation of the very radical character named Herb Sewell.
0:08
Speaker 1: It's from May 2001. Herb Sewell eventually just became unbalanced
0:13
Speaker 1: and went inside a forensic hospital, a mental institution. I
0:16
Speaker 1: won't tell you for what. You'll have to listen for
0:18
Speaker 1: those hours. But in this incarnation, Herb was an editor
0:21
Speaker 1: of a magazine called Progress on the Move. And it
0:24
Speaker 1: was his theory, his belief, and I guess the magazine's
0:27
Speaker 1: theory and belief, that The reason why we were having
0:29
Speaker 1: such energy problems in the early 2000s, this was during
0:31
Speaker 1: the Enron scam, you guys. We didn't have an energy problem.
0:35
Speaker 1: We had an Enron problem. But nonetheless, Herb was there,
0:38
Speaker 1: you know, being a mouthpiece for these people. And he
0:41
Speaker 1: said that we had energy problems because there were too
0:43
Speaker 1: many stay-at-home moms, you know, sipping drinks out of the
0:47
Speaker 1: electric cooler at the pool and having the garage door
0:50
Speaker 1: going up and down as they went out to Liquor Barn.
0:53
Speaker 2: And you get the idea. It's all your fault, ladies.
0:56
Speaker 2: Here's Herb Sewell.
0:58
Speaker 1: The magazine is called Progress on the Move. The editor-in-chief
1:01
Speaker 1: is Herb Sewell. He joins us from Chicago this afternoon
1:05
Speaker 1: and this evening to.
1:05
Speaker 2: Tell us where this all started, because that was my
1:08
Speaker 2: big question, Herb.
1:09
Speaker 3: Right.
1:11
Speaker 2: Where did this start? With the energy plants not being built?
1:16
Speaker 4: Well, the at-home use, Phil, was where it really began to,
1:22
Speaker 4: where we all began to feel the pinch.
1:27
Speaker 1: Okay, so a lot of people using too much juice
1:29
Speaker 1: in an already overburdened grid.
1:32
Speaker 4: In an already overburdened system. And you can pinpoint the beginnings, Phil,
1:37
Speaker 4: of the energy crisis in California and Arizona to just
1:42
Speaker 4: really a lot of the energy drain was the beginning
1:47
Speaker 4: there with a lot of women at home and a
1:51
Speaker 4: lot of time on their hands.
1:54
Speaker 2: Well, what about business?
1:56
Speaker 4: Well, the essential utilities for business, that's one thing, but
1:59
Speaker 4: with the improved economy, there were a lot more women
2:01
Speaker 4: at home. And the stay-at-home mom, quote-unquote, you know, they
2:05
Speaker 4: wanted to have a baby. And they wanted to be
2:09
Speaker 4: home to raise it, or him or her, or whatever
2:13
Speaker 4: they call it. So what happened, I'll tell you what happened,
2:16
Speaker 4: air conditioners running all the time while she and it
2:20
Speaker 4: were having a nap.
2:21
Speaker 2: When you say she and it.
2:24
Speaker 4: The child, I'm trying to be as specific as I
2:27
Speaker 4: can in terms of the overburdening of electricity in homes.
2:30
Speaker 2: All right, she and it, meaning she and her child.
2:33
Speaker 4: She and the child, yes. Having a nap, electric hair dryers,
2:37
Speaker 4: pool filter, running more often because the housewife's at home
2:43
Speaker 4: with the kid in the pool, electric toothbrushes, electric hair curlers.
2:48
Speaker 1: Is this the result of an economy that was doing well?
2:52
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely. Because of the strong economy, more stay-at-home moms,
2:57
Speaker 4: more husbands, not as much of a necessity.
3:00
Speaker 2: I was going to say, no more dual-income families.
3:04
Speaker 4: Not as many. More and more housewives at home watching television.
3:10
Speaker 4: And more and more housewives at home listening to CD players.
3:14
Speaker 4: You know, the City of Angels soundtrack, You've Got Mail.
3:18
Speaker 2: Why do you specify? I'm interested.
3:20
Speaker 1: You referred to the kid as it, and you referred
3:22
Speaker 1: to the women listening to you got mail what uh...
3:26
Speaker 1: it it almost sounds personal uh.
3:28
Speaker 4: it was for me at a time in my life
3:31
Speaker 4: when i had a quote woman and quote in my
3:36
Speaker 4: life uh... who was using a lot of this electricity
3:39
Speaker 4: and it was a uh... it was a domestic problem
3:42
Speaker 4: for me so at at this juncture i can see
3:44
Speaker 4: this more clearly uh... but when you have these stay-at-home
3:48
Speaker 4: mothers the electric garage door is going up and down
3:51
Speaker 4: as they're coming home from the market with another bottle
3:55
Speaker 4: of vodka or the electric can opener.
3:57
Speaker 2: See, there you go again, with another bottle of vodka.
4:01
Speaker 2: Was this a wife of yours?
4:02
Speaker 4: This is not really a personal thing for me, Phil.
4:08
Speaker 4: It does strike and resonate personally with me because I
4:13
Speaker 4: had a marriage that went in that direction, yes. And
4:17
Speaker 4: I can tell you when you come home and she
4:19
Speaker 4: says to you, we're pregnant, and this is something that
4:22
Speaker 4: women love to say to men, We're pregnant. You want
4:26
Speaker 4: to bury your head in your hands because you know
4:27
Speaker 4: you have a large utility bill.
4:29
Speaker 2: All right, Herb Sewell with us from Progress on the Move.
4:32
Speaker 1: Stay-at-home women, stay-at-home mothers using up a lot of juice.
4:36
Speaker 1: That has strained the electrical grid as we enter the
4:40
Speaker 1: summer months for both California, Arizona, all the other states
4:43
Speaker 1: that are now beginning to experience these problems, these so-called
4:47
Speaker 1: rolling blackouts.
4:48
Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686.
4:51
Speaker 1: Is the number here on the Phil Henry Show, 1-800-449-8686.
4:55
Speaker 1: Electric toothbrushes, hair curlers, a pool filter going, electric hair
4:59
Speaker 1: dryers going, at-home CD players. You said the garage door
5:05
Speaker 1: going up and down as they're coming home from the market.
5:07
Speaker 2: With another bottle of vodka.
5:10
Speaker 4: That is correct, yes.
5:11
Speaker 2: Okay. If we could eliminate the editorial comment, you know
5:15
Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
5:15
Speaker 4: All right. But electric can openers, opening, for instance, my wife,
5:20
Speaker 4: my ex-wife, another can of Shiba Cat food, the microwave,
5:23
Speaker 4: because more and more of these housewives are cooking microwavable
5:26
Speaker 4: food for a husband, and the kid gets the good stuff.
5:32
Speaker 1: So she's cooking the microwaves only for the husband's food
5:34
Speaker 1: because the kid gets what?
5:36
Speaker 4: Well, the kid gets a Cornish game hen that is rotisserie,
5:42
Speaker 4: baked fish, but the microwave stuff you and I eat.
5:46
Speaker 2: Well, speak for yourself, okay?
5:48
Speaker 4: All right, I'll speak for myself. The video games that
5:50
Speaker 4: the kid has got to have and the mother allows
5:51
Speaker 4: the child to play. More and more women, Phil, sitting
5:54
Speaker 4: at home surfing the net or getting into chat rooms
5:57
Speaker 4: while they're sipping another screwdriver. Let me tell you this, Henry,
5:59
Speaker 4: the memories are flooding back for me now of my
6:01
Speaker 4: third marriage. My wife did a lot of that.
6:06
Speaker 1: Well, I'm beginning to gather that that's what it is.
6:08
Speaker 1: So it's a personal thing for you? Your wife was sitting,
6:11
Speaker 1: sipping a screwdriver, surfing the net?
6:15
Speaker 4: You know... It's difficult for a man to understand another
6:18
Speaker 4: man when he's been through this, but I'm trying to
6:20
Speaker 4: make this personal for everyone.
6:23
Speaker 2: Well, tell me, what happened? You're talking about your third marriage?
6:27
Speaker 4: My third marriage, yes. My wife did a lot of that,
6:29
Speaker 4: sucking megawatt after megawatt. And there was nothing I could
6:32
Speaker 4: do about it. Do you know what it's like to
6:35
Speaker 4: come home to a woman parked on a sofa talking
6:38
Speaker 4: for hours on a cordless telephone? That takes electricity, my friend.
6:43
Speaker 4: And all the things I've mentioned, if you could force
6:45
Speaker 4: every stay-at-home woman in America to go without these extravagances,
6:50
Speaker 4: the energy you would save would be enough to power
6:53
Speaker 4: the entire Earth. That means every home on Earth for
6:57
Speaker 4: a three-year period.
7:01
Speaker 2: My God.
7:02
Speaker 1: All right, so what are the solutions?
7:06
Speaker 4: Well, I think the men are the key. They can't
7:07
Speaker 4: allow their wives to stay at home and run appliances.
7:09
Speaker 4: When you leave the house in the morning... Make sure
7:12
Speaker 4: they are leaving with you. They'll try and stay at
7:14
Speaker 4: home by having a baby. And if that is the case,
7:18
Speaker 4: cut them off sexually. Don't have sex with them.
7:21
Speaker 1: Well, since when does the power industry, the electrical industry,
7:25
Speaker 1: begin to give advice on when to have sex, you know?
7:28
Speaker 4: Well, that's the extent of the problem, see. Because the
7:32
Speaker 4: at-home use of electricity is what strains the grid. All right, well,
7:38
Speaker 4: the at-home.
7:39
Speaker 1: Use of electricity strains the grid, but again, we keep
7:41
Speaker 1: going back to the initial problem that we were talking about,
7:43
Speaker 1: and that was the utility plants.
7:46
Speaker 4: And that is a big problem, but right now I
7:47
Speaker 4: think we have to get through this summer.
7:49
Speaker 2: All right, 1-800-449-8686. Here is Gina on The Phil Henry Show.
7:53
Speaker 4: Hello? Yes.
7:54
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
7:55
Speaker 5: I'm really concerned with the caller you just had, the
7:58
Speaker 5: way he refers to women as the problem of our utilities.
8:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
8:03
Speaker 5: I definitely do not believe that's what the problem is.
8:05
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not saying, Gina, that that is the entire problem.
8:09
Speaker 4: I'm saying that that is a significant percentage of the
8:13
Speaker 4: problem where we have a booming economy, a lot of
8:16
Speaker 4: stay-at-home women.
8:16
Speaker 5: Do you believe there are stay-at-home men?
8:20
Speaker 4: I do believe there are stay-at-home men. It was difficult
8:23
Speaker 4: for me to fathom that in my own life because
8:26
Speaker 4: I would come home, and I'm just speaking for myself now,
8:28
Speaker 4: and see my wife literally sucking megawatt after megawatt with
8:33
Speaker 4: the kid in the pool, and all of the nonsense.
8:37
Speaker 5: But you have completely insulted many, many women by the
8:41
Speaker 5: way you're referring to women.
8:43
Speaker 2: Well, when you refer to her and it.
8:46
Speaker 5: Her and it. A child is a child. Maybe you
8:48
Speaker 5: don't have children in your life.
8:50
Speaker 4: That is right. That is a child. And you're absolutely right,
8:52
Speaker 4: and I misspoke.
8:54
Speaker 5: Okay, women take this very sensitive.
8:56
Speaker 1: Well, what about the comment that the electric garage door
8:58
Speaker 1: is going up and down as they go to the
9:00
Speaker 1: market for another bottle of vodka?
9:01
Speaker 5: It's no different than the man coming home from work
9:03
Speaker 5: that has to lift the garage door.
9:07
Speaker 4: The man comes home from work once, and he leaves
9:09
Speaker 4: for work once.
9:11
Speaker 5: Well, what about the men that come home for lunch?
9:13
Speaker 4: Well, the wife is constantly leaving for another run to
9:17
Speaker 4: liquor barn.
9:18
Speaker 2: But for you.
9:19
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go again with you. The wife is
9:21
Speaker 1: running off to liquor barn. If your wife had a
9:23
Speaker 1: drinking problem.
9:24
Speaker 4: I'm not even saying my wife had a drinking problem.
9:27
Speaker 5: But you're referring to women as alcoholics running off to
9:30
Speaker 5: get vodka.
9:31
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying that the stay-at-home women are utilizing the
9:34
Speaker 4: electricity in the home to the extent that it is
9:37
Speaker 4: pressuring the grid. From my own personal experience... Yes, my
9:41
Speaker 4: wife would sit another Bloody Mary and surf the net.
9:46
Speaker 2: Was your wife an alcoholic?
9:49
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that. I just frustrated. It bothered me
9:52
Speaker 4: that she was at home having fun and I was
9:55
Speaker 4: at work starting up a magazine.
9:57
Speaker 5: But that's something you chose to allow for her. Am
10:00
Speaker 5: I correct?
10:01
Speaker 4: You allowed that for her. I had no choice. She
10:04
Speaker 4: had it. I mean, the kid.
10:06
Speaker 5: What, she could not work?
10:07
Speaker 6: She could not take the.
10:08
Speaker 3: Child to daycare?
10:09
Speaker 4: She was able to manipulate me into thinking that she
10:11
Speaker 4: could not work. That is correct, yeah. Okay, well, you definitely...
10:14
Speaker 4: And she manipulated me.
10:14
Speaker 1: Well, look, what I've heard here so far is your
10:16
Speaker 1: wife was sitting at home the garage door going up
10:19
Speaker 1: and down as she went out for another bottle of vodka.
10:21
Speaker 2: She's drinking screwdrivers, surfing the net.
10:25
Speaker 4: I wish that was true.
10:26
Speaker 5: I really wish that was true.
10:27
Speaker 4: It was true in my life, Gina, and I'm not
10:29
Speaker 4: saying it's true in your life, Gina. I would never
10:32
Speaker 4: presuppose that. I don't know. I haven't heard from your husband,
10:34
Speaker 4: but I will give you the benefit of the doubt
10:37
Speaker 4: and say that you don't do that. But there are
10:40
Speaker 4: a lot of women who do.
10:42
Speaker 5: What about the people that work at home and have
10:44
Speaker 5: in-home businesses?
10:45
Speaker 4: Well, what about, what about, what about? I mean, does
10:47
Speaker 4: that not concern you? If my uncle had wheels and pedals,
10:50
Speaker 4: he'd be a bicycle. We're talking about reality.
10:53
Speaker 5: Reality is the women are not the destruction of utilities.
10:56
Speaker 4: Well, the reality is I edit a... Are you telling
10:58
Speaker 4: me my business now?
11:00
Speaker 5: Well, apparently you're telling us what women do and do
11:02
Speaker 5: not do.
11:03
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that we've been able to track the
11:05
Speaker 4: loss of megawatts and power from the grid... by women
11:09
Speaker 4: sitting at home constantly going in and out of the refrigerator,
11:12
Speaker 4: losing electricity from the freezer to get ice for their
11:15
Speaker 4: G & T. Well, why can't you.
11:15
Speaker 5: Refer to people rather than women?
11:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about all men?
11:20
Speaker 4: Because it's not all... Now what's happening, Mr. Henry, is
11:24
Speaker 4: you're beginning to anger me. You and the caller.
11:27
Speaker 2: Why are we angering you? I mean, you're simply... You're
11:32
Speaker 2: saying she's going into the refrigerator for another G & T.
11:34
Speaker 4: Yes, uh....
11:38
Speaker 2: What is with the ah?
11:40
Speaker 4: I'm collecting my thoughts.
11:41
Speaker 5: Do you have days off during the week ever?
11:44
Speaker 4: I beg your pardon?
11:44
Speaker 5: Do you ever have days off during the week and
11:46
Speaker 5: go home?
11:46
Speaker 4: Do I have? No, I do not. I don't know
11:48
Speaker 4: what world you live in, Gina, but I go to
11:51
Speaker 4: work in the morning and I come home in the evening.
11:53
Speaker 4: That means the garage door goes up twice, not 16
11:56
Speaker 4: times as my wife is running off to Tommy Burger.
12:01
Speaker 5: I have a question for you. When she is running off,
12:04
Speaker 5: excuse me, when she's running off, she's running off, For
12:07
Speaker 5: your family, for you. Am I correct?
12:09
Speaker 4: No, she's not. Apparently you don't listen too good. She's
12:12
Speaker 4: off getting vodka at Liquor Barn.
12:16
Speaker 2: All right, look. Thank you, Gina. A lot of broad statements.
12:20
Speaker 4: Well, Mr. Henry, ah, ah.
12:25
Speaker 1: Sorry, I apologize to the caller. Some people can't get
12:27
Speaker 1: it out. They can't spit it out with the ah.
12:31
Speaker 1: And these people, there's a self-importance about this guy. It's
12:33
Speaker 1: bugging me. All right, that's Herb Sewell. He's the editor
12:36
Speaker 1: of Progress on the Move. What kind of a name
12:40
Speaker 1: for a magazine is that, Progress on the Move? Oh,
12:43
Speaker 1: I got one here, Progress Standing Still. And he's talking
12:47
Speaker 1: about the number one drain on utilities today, and the
12:51
Speaker 1: reason for rolling blackouts is because there are a lot
12:55
Speaker 1: of stay-at-home women using the utilities a lot, using the
12:59
Speaker 1: electricity in the house a lot, including the garage door
13:01
Speaker 1: going up and down, which I wouldn't maybe argue with
13:03
Speaker 1: them about, If he hadn't said it's because it's going
13:06
Speaker 1: up and down for another run to Liquor Barn.
13:08
Speaker 4: 1-800-449-8686.
13:08
Speaker 2: And now, Bill Hendry.
13:10
Speaker 6: They say they want to work.
13:12
Speaker 7: But once they get a taste of.
13:15
Speaker 2: Staying at home, Phil, they enjoy it so much that they.
13:33
Speaker 4: would prefer to stay at home.
13:35
Speaker 2: Women who are staying at home with children.
13:38
Speaker 4: That is correct. And once they're staying at home with
13:41
Speaker 4: the children, then they are using utilities. And I mean
13:44
Speaker 4: all utilities. They're sitting in the attic looking at old pictures,
13:49
Speaker 4: inviting the pool boy in for lemonade. You mentioned a
13:53
Speaker 4: bingo party your wife had the other night. All of
13:57
Speaker 4: the card playing. And this adds up.
14:02
Speaker 1: All right, well, if a woman's staying at home, how
14:03
Speaker 1: do you get her out of there? You said don't
14:04
Speaker 1: let her have another baby.
14:06
Speaker 4: You absolutely must put your foot down and not allow
14:09
Speaker 4: these women to have more children to give them the
14:12
Speaker 4: excuse to stay at home and rub the utilities, whether
14:16
Speaker 4: it's just going into a room and turning the light
14:18
Speaker 4: switch on and off.
14:21
Speaker 1: What woman would go into a room and turn the
14:23
Speaker 1: light switch on and off?
14:25
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, my wife was born in a very
14:27
Speaker 4: impoverished family, so the idea of electricity in the home
14:34
Speaker 4: was unique.
14:36
Speaker 2: Well, did they have an outhouse? Was she from another word?
14:38
Speaker 4: She was from a rural area. That is correct. And
14:43
Speaker 4: all of that....
14:46
Speaker 2: You know, I've got to tell you, your ah is
14:47
Speaker 2: starting to drive me out of my mind.
14:49
Speaker 4: Well, I'll try to get to the point a little
14:52
Speaker 4: bit better.
14:53
Speaker 2: That would be great.
14:55
Speaker 6: 1-800-449-8686.
14:55
Speaker 1: Let's go to Carolyn now. Carolyn, hi, you're on the
14:58
Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show.
14:59
Speaker 8: Thank you. I was on my way home. I've never
15:03
Speaker 8: called your show before, but I couldn't stand it. I
15:06
Speaker 8: have never heard such absurdity in my life. Sir, you
15:09
Speaker 8: must have been treated by a mother, be put in
15:12
Speaker 8: a back room and never let out. I mean, your
15:14
Speaker 8: hate toward women, especially stay at home mothers and especially children.
15:20
Speaker 8: I mean, you're part of that leftist leftist group out
15:24
Speaker 8: there in California that, you know... I would take issue
15:30
Speaker 8: with you, sir, instead of the stay-at-home moms you're blaming
15:33
Speaker 8: because you had terrible marriages. No wonder they all left you.
15:36
Speaker 4: Well, I understand, Phil, the lady's anger. Oh, very angry.
15:42
Speaker 4: But killing the messenger for the message is not the answer. Now,
15:46
Speaker 4: can I ask you where you're calling from?
15:49
Speaker 8: What does that make a difference?
15:50
Speaker 4: Because there are.
15:50
Speaker 7: My wife.
15:52
Speaker 4: Grew up in a rural area.
15:54
Speaker 8: Well, I live in Atlanta, Georgia.
15:55
Speaker 4: All right, that's a major metropolitan. Well, it's larger than
15:59
Speaker 4: most areas.
16:00
Speaker 2: Atlanta's a big city.
16:02
Speaker 4: Oh, well.
16:03
Speaker 2: It's a big city.
16:04
Speaker 4: All right. But my wife came from a rural area.
16:08
Speaker 4: And the idea of actually having a place in the
16:12
Speaker 4: house to go to the bathroom, for instance, was astounding.
16:15
Speaker 4: It was almost as if she'd learned about landing on
16:18
Speaker 4: the moon.
16:19
Speaker 8: What has that got to do with anything, though, sir?
16:21
Speaker 9: You know, I heard you.
16:23
Speaker 8: I don't... You're... I mean, let... Please.
16:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very distracting if you would stop doing that, Mr.
16:28
Speaker 2: Sewell.
16:28
Speaker 8: My comment to you, sir, is that I... My daughter
16:33
Speaker 8: has two children. She's a stay-at-home mom. She worked and
16:36
Speaker 8: put her husband through medical school.
16:38
Speaker 4: She wants to stay home and raise her children.
16:41
Speaker 8: She does not drink. She doesn't run in and out
16:44
Speaker 8: turning the things on and off.
16:47
Speaker 4: Does she go in and turn light switches on and off?
16:50
Speaker 4: Because she's fascinated by it. I don't know if she
16:54
Speaker 4: has a rural background is all I'm asking.
16:56
Speaker 1: She was born in a major city.
17:00
Speaker 4: I find that a lot of women from rural backgrounds
17:02
Speaker 4: will go into a room and turn the light switch
17:04
Speaker 4: on and off and go, holy God, look at that.
17:08
Speaker 8: Well, sir, you know what?
17:10
Speaker 2: That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard in my life.
17:12
Speaker 8: I was born in northern Mississippi.
17:13
Speaker 4: Guess what?
17:14
Speaker 5: Guess what?
17:15
Speaker 8: My husband commends me because when I leave a room,
17:18
Speaker 8: I do turn the lights off.
17:20
Speaker 4: But do you turn around and go turn it back
17:22
Speaker 4: on again just to see how it works?
17:24
Speaker 8: Of course not. What idiot would do that?
17:26
Speaker 1: What do you mean, what idiot would do that to
17:28
Speaker 1: turn around and see if the light switch goes back
17:30
Speaker 1: on again?
17:30
Speaker 4: A fascination with the technology. And Northern Mississippi, that's stretching
17:36
Speaker 4: all limits of credulity. And you're telling me that the
17:40
Speaker 4: first time you squatted, it was over something porcelain?
17:42
Speaker 2: Why would you?
17:44
Speaker 5: How rude.
17:45
Speaker 4: This man, I'm telling you what.
17:46
Speaker 2: You know something, Mr. Sewell, you got a magazine, and
17:49
Speaker 2: I understand that.
17:50
Speaker 4: What was rude about that? I'm very curious.
17:53
Speaker 2: The first time she squatted over something, it was porcelain.
17:57
Speaker 4: Oh, wow. Was it or was it wouldn't? Because that
18:02
Speaker 4: tells a lot.
18:03
Speaker 8: That happens to be none of your business what my
18:05
Speaker 8: background is. But you know what? I'm telling you what.
18:08
Speaker 8: It's amazing that California and the West is like you
18:11
Speaker 8: have not fallen into the sea with your idiocy.
18:15
Speaker 4: I will tell you this. There is a very high
18:17
Speaker 4: incidence of stay-at-home women who go back and forth to
18:21
Speaker 4: the freezer getting ice. Can I ask you what that's for?
18:24
Speaker 2: So you don't have any proof that they're using and
18:26
Speaker 2: putting it in vodka.
18:27
Speaker 4: But why would they go back and forth getting ice?
18:30
Speaker 2: For a cold drink.
18:32
Speaker 4: Nobody drinks that much Diet Coke. No one drinks that
18:36
Speaker 4: much lemonade.
18:36
Speaker 8: Well, I don't drink Diet Coke.
18:38
Speaker 6: I'm not part of your crowd, sir.
18:41
Speaker 8: I drink water from the tap, sir.
18:43
Speaker 9: Does that bother you?
18:45
Speaker 4: Do you put ice in it?
18:47
Speaker 8: I have never been so angry in a phone call
18:50
Speaker 8: in my life. You are the most insulting subhuman I
18:54
Speaker 8: have ever talked to.
18:56
Speaker 4: I'm just simply asking. When you first wiped, was it
19:01
Speaker 4: the page from a... Okay, that's... Oh, sir. This is
19:05
Speaker 4: a study between.
19:06
Speaker 8: No, I'm going to interrupt him, Mr.
19:08
Speaker 6: Henry.
19:09
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
19:09
Speaker 8: There is an agenda here. There's an agenda to do
19:12
Speaker 8: away with children because they're it.
19:14
Speaker 1: I suspect that there is an agenda, an anti-family agenda,
19:17
Speaker 1: and couching it in the energy crisis.
19:21
Speaker 4: Oh, you think I'm a retard? Hold on.
19:24
Speaker 5: 1-800-449-8686.
19:24

Speaker 2: He's the editor of Progress on the Move.
19:40
Speaker 1: The number one cause of the energy, the strain of
19:43
Speaker 1: the grid for energy this summer in states like California,
19:46
Speaker 1: states like Arizona, stay-at-home women, stay-at-home moms.
19:49

Speaker 1: My story yeah you can finish your story but it
20:27
Speaker 1: just seems like you have a problem with her uh.
20:30
Speaker 4: as i was saying uh... my wife would bring women
20:35
Speaker 4: over for these flower-arranging parties and show them how the
20:40
Speaker 4: trash compactor worked by putting one ice house beer can
20:47
Speaker 4: in there and turning it on.
20:51
Speaker 2: Sounded to me like you had a real simple-minded wife.
20:53
Speaker 4: I beg your pardon?
20:54
Speaker 1: Sounded to me like you had a real simple-minded wife.
20:56
Speaker 1: She's saying, hey, watch how the trash compactor works.
20:59
Speaker 4: Oh, there's no doubt about that, but I had to...
21:02
Speaker 4: put up with this for years uh and we would
21:07
Speaker 4: run regularly six hundred dollar a month utility bills well.
21:10
Speaker 1: That's out of this world i mean it's it's insane
21:13
Speaker 1: couldn't you educate her don't turn the lights on and

Speaker 4: Would say to her here's how the lights work see
21:19
Speaker 4: on i see see the pretty light uh.
21:23
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like you probably condescended to this woman

21:27
Speaker 1: here's jeanette on the phil henry show.
21:28
Speaker 4: Hello Good afternoon. I would thank you, Ms. Henry, not
21:32
Speaker 4: to analyze my marriage.
21:34
Speaker 10: Hello, I am.
21:35
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
21:37
Speaker 7: Hello, are you listening?
21:39
Speaker 4: I'm listening to the lady, yes.
21:40
Speaker 7: Okay, hi. I'm just calling to let you know that
21:43
Speaker 7: we stay-at-home moms do not sit in the pool all
21:46
Speaker 7: day drinking lemonade with ice, and we don't keep going
21:50
Speaker 7: to the ice maker and getting ice.
21:53
Speaker 6: Or.
21:53
Speaker 4: And you speak for all stay-at-home moms?
21:55
Speaker 6: Do you? You don't speak for all... How the heck
21:58
Speaker 6: do you know?
21:59
Speaker 4: I am tracking at-home energy use and the energy that
22:03
Speaker 4: is coming from freezer doors being opened.
22:05
Speaker 7: Oh, get off it.
22:08
Speaker 4: You know what?
22:08
Speaker 7: When I was working, I used a heck of a
22:10
Speaker 7: lot more electricity than I ever do now.
22:13
Speaker 4: Because that was a business utility, Jeanette. No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:16
Speaker 6: I'm talking about at home.
22:18
Speaker 7: You're talking about blow dryers and curling irons and all that.
22:21
Speaker 4: I'm talking about blow dryers. And if I weren't more
22:23
Speaker 4: of a gentleman, I'd mention a few other electrically powered devices.
22:27
Speaker 6: Oh, get off me.
22:28
Speaker 2: Oh, come on. They're battery operated anyway.
22:31
Speaker 4: Most of them are used with an AC wall outlet.
22:35
Speaker 4: And this is part and part. I'm not saying that
22:38
Speaker 4: all of the energy problems we have have been caused
22:42
Speaker 4: by stay-at-home women who have this need to keep going
22:46
Speaker 4: back to Liquor Barn.
22:48
Speaker 1: That's the fifth time you've mentioned going back to Liquor
22:50
Speaker 1: Barn and the garage door going.
22:52
Speaker 2: Up and down.
22:52
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's all of them. I'm saying that
22:57
Speaker 4: it is exacerbated by these women.
23:04
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question?
23:06
Speaker 4: Yes.
23:07
Speaker 2: What's up with the, uh.
23:09
Speaker 4: I'm trying to formulate a thought. It is an idiosyncrasy
23:12
Speaker 4: of my speech. I apologize.
23:15
Speaker 2: Well, it seems extremely exaggerated. Here is Sonia on the
23:18
Speaker 2: Phil Henry Show. Hello. Sonia?
23:22
Speaker 6: Yes.
23:22
Speaker 2: Hi, go ahead, Sonia.
23:24
Speaker 4: Can I ask a question, Phil?
23:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:25
Speaker 4: How many of these women that I'm speaking with are
23:27
Speaker 4: stay-at-home moms?
23:28
Speaker 2: Well, let's ask Sonia. Are you a stay-at-home mom, Sonia?
23:31
Speaker 10: Yes, I am a stay-at-home mom.
23:32
Speaker 9: Okay.
23:33
Speaker 2: That's the second one, because Jeanette was, too. Uh-huh.
23:36
Speaker 10: And I just wanted to make a comment that... Uh...
23:39
Speaker 10: You're making blatant.
23:40
Speaker 6: Don't... Just stop it with that, okay?
23:42
Speaker 2: Just let the lady talk.
23:44
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
23:44
Speaker 10: I just want to make a comment that you're making
23:47
Speaker 10: blanket statements about home mothers, and you're forgetting the fact
23:51
Speaker 10: that I'm making a sacrifice to stay home with my children,
23:54
Speaker 10: not to have two incomes, because I want to raise
23:56
Speaker 10: them myself, make sure they're raised properly in a home
23:59
Speaker 10: where there's supervision, where I can make sure they have...
24:02
Speaker 10: are value and a drain on the red give me
24:06
Speaker 10: a break.
24:07
Speaker 4: Up this is all part by the state of the
24:09
Speaker 4: home to using electricity if you are using electricity and
24:13
Speaker 4: there are more and more of you doing that it
24:15
Speaker 4: obviously is pressuring an already pressured great now the power
24:19
Speaker 4: plants not being built up the main problem but it
24:22
Speaker 4: is exacerbated by women and I won't include you in
24:26
Speaker 4: this Sonia because I don't know you but there are
24:29
Speaker 4: a number of women And Mr. Henry didn't want me
24:32
Speaker 4: to go here, but a lot of these vibrators are used.
24:35
Speaker 2: Will you come on, man? Be a freaking real person here, okay? Vibrators?
24:42
Speaker 4: They plug them into a wall.
24:45
Speaker 10: Actually, you can get them with batteries, sir.
24:47
Speaker 4: I know that, but you can plug them into the wall.
24:48
Speaker 4: It's sitting in a hot tub with a pool boy.
24:50
Speaker 4: You call that a sacrifice?
24:52
Speaker 6: I don't have a pool, thank you.
24:53
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not saying you.
24:54
Speaker 4: I'm saying the ones who do it.
24:56
Speaker 6: Actually, all my friends that are staying home, they don't
24:59
Speaker 6: have a pool either. We're saving the planet.
25:02
Speaker 4: Saving the planet so that what happens? I'm saving the.
25:06
Speaker 10: Planet because I'm raising my children to be responsible adults.
25:09
Speaker 9: Uh-huh.
25:10
Speaker 4: You hope.
25:11
Speaker 6: Oh, they're going to be, sir. They're going to be.
25:14
Speaker 6: You know what they're going to be? They're going to
25:15
Speaker 6: be taking care of you when you're 80 and picking
25:17
Speaker 6: your nose in the nursing home.
25:19
Speaker 4: I'll be self-sufficient. I will have a... I'm mad and
25:23
Speaker 4: taking care of everything.
25:23
Speaker 6: They're going to be taking care of you and me
25:25
Speaker 6: when we're old and too.
25:27
Speaker 4: Old to take care of ourselves.
25:28
Speaker 6: My children will be.
25:29
Speaker 10: There because they're morally responsible.
25:31
Speaker 6: And I'm going to speak to it because I am
25:33
Speaker 6: staying home with them to ensure that.
25:35
Speaker 4: I love this phrase, saving the planet.
25:37
Speaker 6: They are the future.
25:38
Speaker 4: Saving the planet from what, little green men?
25:40
Speaker 10: No, they're saving the planet from freaks like you.
25:45
Speaker 4: Well, you know what? I won't need your help. You
25:49
Speaker 4: can tell your children I don't want them anywhere near me,
25:52
Speaker 4: all right?
25:53
Speaker 10: Oh, believe me, I wouldn't want my children to go
25:55
Speaker 10: with 100 yards.
25:56
Speaker 6: Of you because I would get a restraining order because
25:58
Speaker 6: I would be in fear of their lives.
25:59
Speaker 4: That makes both of us happy, and just try to
26:04
Speaker 4: keep the light switches from going on and off.
26:07
Speaker 2: All right, thank you.
26:08
Speaker 6: Oh, that's not a problem.
26:09
Speaker 4: All right.
26:10
Speaker 2: Do you not like people? Is that it, Mr. Sewell?
26:13
Speaker 4: I love people. I don't like irresponsible women. Spitting out
26:17
Speaker 4: babies and then turning all the lights on in the
26:19
Speaker 4: house as they try to find a ball they lost.
26:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
26:25
Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686. Here is Grace on the Phil Henry Show.
26:27
Speaker 1: Hello.
26:27
Speaker 2: Hello.
26:34
Speaker 9: I grew up in a rural-type area without electricity, and
26:39
Speaker 9: we had to carry water from about three or four
26:42
Speaker 9: blocks areas in buckets to drink and wash. And I
26:49
Speaker 9: graduated from high school. I went and took tests with.
26:52
Speaker 3: Three men that had engineering degrees, and I came in
26:57
Speaker 3: second in the four. And I climbed the poles for
27:01
Speaker 3: Southwestern Bell with your... utilities that you're talking about. I
27:05
Speaker 3: made Look Magazine, and I could only have one child
27:10
Speaker 3: that lived... And you are mistreating women terrible. I've worked
27:14
Speaker 3: like a dog.
27:14
Speaker 9: All my life.
27:15
Speaker 4: I helped build cars for General Motors.
27:18
Speaker 3: You haven't ever got off your butt to do any
27:20
Speaker 3: physical work. All you can say is, ah, ah, ah.
27:23
Speaker 2: That's right. You got it, Grace.
27:25
Speaker 3: And if you can't speak English and in a full
27:28
Speaker 3: sentence without breaking it, you better learn how to use
27:31
Speaker 3: commas and learn English and quit mistreating women. that are
27:36
Speaker 3: raising these children to make up the new government that
27:40
Speaker 3: these families will have.
27:42
Speaker 4: Well, I have a question.
27:42
Speaker 3: You are a very rude man.
27:44
Speaker 4: Well, I'm speaking the truth.
27:47
Speaker 2: What was your question? She hung up.
27:49
Speaker 4: I wanted to know what the first thing she squatted
27:51
Speaker 4: over was, porcelain, wood, or a flesh stick.
27:53
Speaker 2: Okay, you are out of here.
27:55
