  Speaker 1: Good morning, 94.9 News Now and Stimulating Talk. This is
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Morgan Grangine, aka Lady Mo. I am here guest hosting today,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: trying to fill some very, very large shoes. I can
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: say his name now, Lee Elsie.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: We miss you. We miss you wholeheartedly. Thanks for being.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Here with us as this complex situation gets worked out. Um,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we're looking forward to the return of the, of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: one and only that the goat.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Um, but thanks for sticking with me.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks for continuing to stick with this time slot and 94,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: nine news now and stimulating talk.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Uh, we have a really good show.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We ran into some really tough, tough stuff trying to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: get here. To be honest with you, it was not
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a good, uh, It was not a good start. The
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: board was boarding. I lost several guests along the way,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: so I had to redirect all the way up until
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: late last night on the actual guests for today's show.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to begin with something that I think we
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: all need to discuss, which is time. Then we're going
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to go with Tom Cantone, which is going to be incredible.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He's always I love his stuff. I am really glad
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that he's on my show. And then we're going to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: talk to Kate Livingston of Wait Until Eighth, which is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a national initiative to delay the smartphones for kids, at
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: least until the eighth grade. That's a really incredible discussion.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: One thing that I've been getting involved in in the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: community outside of the studio, which has been great. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we're also going to speak with Pauline Lord. She is owner, farmer,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: lead lady farmer at White Gate Farm in East Lime,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: which I frequent.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And have been for years.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And I just am incredibly fond of regenerative farming, pouring
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: back into the land. And so we're going to learn
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit from her today. Then the last hour
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is going to be you and I. Everything's going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be out on the table. Let's take calls. Let's discuss
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: some stuff. There's so much to discuss. Supreme Court deportations,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Middle East oil, measles outbreak, Lindsay Clancy stuff, Hurricane Paulo,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the open AI stuff.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, things are ever evolving.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Also, I just heard that we withdrew from Iraq for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the second time fully, which is amazing news. So there's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: really a full show here today. I'm excited about all
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of it. But time, it seems to me it might
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be one of the greatest gifts we have and perhaps
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: one of the most misunderstood. We can make more money.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We can buy more things. We can replace a broken object.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: We can sometimes get another opportunity. I've said before, we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: find occasionally ourselves in front of the same lesson again
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and again until we make a different choice. But time,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we don't get that back. We can't manufacture another hour.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We can't put yesterday back on the clock. We can't
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: go back and catch that sunrise we slept through. Can't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: recreate that particular sunset. And they're all different.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: They really are.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You can't have that exact conversation again. How it took
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: place and all the different nooks and crannies and nuances
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of it. And when you really stop and think about that,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that's pretty extraordinary. Because the very thing we spend so
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: much of our lives trying to optimize... Save, stretch, monetize, schedule, fill, control.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So one thing we ultimately cannot keep, and lately I've
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: been thinking, time, it becomes even more valuable when we
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: exchange it. Because when you give somebody your time, you're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: not just giving them an hour, you're giving them a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: piece of you, of your life. And I think that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: one of the most meaningful gifts we can give another
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: human being.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Think about it. Sitting with somebody.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Who's lonely, really listening to somebody without looking at your phone.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Calling an old friend because you suddenly realize it's been
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: far too long. Making dinner for somebody. Sitting around the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: table with your family, telling a story. Taking your kids
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: somewhere instead of telling them you're too busy. Showing up,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: being present. Sometimes the message is, It's not that complicated,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know? It's all the places that I could be
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with all the things going on that I could be doing.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I choose to spend this time with you. And isn't that,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in its own way, a form of love?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I think it is. I think it is.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And I've also been thinking about the impermanence of it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of my life trying to optimize it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I know, like, pocket it. get more done, accomplish more.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: If I could just have another hour, move faster, be productive.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Somehow along the way, I absorbed this idea that my
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: value was somehow connected to what I could produce. How
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: much did I accomplish? How much did I get done?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: How many boxes did I check?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: How useful was I.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm beginning to ask myself a different question, not
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: what did I accomplish today, but what did I give
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: my time to? And maybe the even more important question
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: is what is worthy of the life I was given?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Time is life.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Time isn't just something we're spending. Every hour we give
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to something is an hour of our one wild, finite
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: existence that we will never get back. So maybe the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: goal isn't to squeeze every possible drop of productivity out
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of it. Maybe the goal is to spend it consciously.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: To spend some of it working, some of it learning,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: some of it building, some of it fighting for things
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: we believe matter. but also laughing, wandering, doing absolutely nothing,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: sitting on the porch in silence, maybe talking to the birds,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: exchanging gifts with crows, watching the sunset, making dinner, calling
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: someone you love. Because if we're constantly trying to save time,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: maybe we're missing the point.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: The preciousness is that we get to spend it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And so that's where I want to start today with
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a little reminder to myself and you out there. Thanks
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: for hanging. Where are you spending your life? And when
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you look at your time, how it's going, does it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: feel worthy of the life you're giving it to? Wow,
• 8:54

  Speaker 27: Your hands together, turn it up, and let's welcome the
• 22:38
  Speaker 27: icon himself, Tom Cantone with Tom's Tales.
• 22:50
  Speaker 36: Welcome to this week's edition of So, I don't know
• 22:54
  Speaker 36: if you know, but today is the 64th anniversary of
• 22:59
  Speaker 36: the premiere of the Jetsons. You know, George and his
• 23:02
  Speaker 36: family and all the modern technology that would never come.
• 23:07
  Speaker 36: And only to find out that it has in more
• 23:10
  Speaker 36: ways than one with, you know, video calls and smart
• 23:14
  Speaker 36: watches and flat screen TVs and the robot vacuum system.
• 23:20
  Speaker 36: Digital and news and tablets and voice messaging and on
• 23:26
  Speaker 36: and on and on. No flying cars yet, but that's
• 23:29
  Speaker 36: in the works. But it got me thinking about how
• 23:33
  Speaker 36: all that technology has really not translated at all today
• 23:38
  Speaker 36: into guest service. Guest service to me, the two most
• 23:43
  Speaker 36: misleading words. Technology really has replaced technology. You know, service
• 23:50
  Speaker 36: with process. You're just being processed.
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: That's it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 36: You know, and I know that companies sometimes measure transactions
• 23:59
  Speaker 36: instead of relationships, you know, with their apps and kiosks
• 24:02
  Speaker 36: and phone systems, chat boxes, on and on and on.
• 24:06
  Speaker 36: Anything to the touch instead of that old-fashioned personal touch. So,
• 24:12
  Speaker 36: you know, for me, most recently, technology has just been
• 24:17
  Speaker 36: a joke. You call someone, you don't get a live person.
• 24:22
  Speaker 36: You get an AI person named Mary Lou, and she
• 24:28
  Speaker 36: will say that this call is being monitored.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: For training purposes.
• 24:35
  Speaker 36: Well, I'm going to say that the trainer needs to
• 24:38
  Speaker 36: get training for the trainees because you can't get an
• 24:42
  Speaker 36: answer without going through 20 minutes of of pushing buttons
• 24:48
  Speaker 36: only to go back to the main menu. And it
• 24:51
  Speaker 36: is the most frustrating thing. What are you calling about
• 24:55
  Speaker 36: in so many words? And you say what you might
• 24:58
  Speaker 36: be calling about. And, you know, they ask for your
• 25:01
  Speaker 36: account number, the last four digits of your social, the
• 25:05
  Speaker 36: date of birth, you know, who was the last person
• 25:09
  Speaker 36: you saw alive, on.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: And on and on.
• 25:11
  Speaker 36: And only to then end up really getting to a
• 25:17
  Speaker 36: live person. And when you do, that person transfers you
• 25:21
  Speaker 36: to somebody else. And then that somebody else is the
• 25:26
  Speaker 36: computer who walks you through, once again, starting over. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 36: the same information you had already spent 20 minutes on doing.
• 25:37
  Speaker 36: And you're pressing buttons left and right. You never do
• 25:40
  Speaker 36: talk to anybody who, you know, will solve a problem. So,
• 25:45
  Speaker 36: You know, I long for the day where I remember
• 25:49
  Speaker 36: those seven magic words when all I ever did was
• 25:52
  Speaker 36: pick up the phone and just press one button.
• 25:55
  Speaker 14: It was a zero.
• 25:57
  Speaker 36: And the zero button led to a live human being
• 26:01
  Speaker 36: that said, operator assistance, how can I help you? Music
• 26:06
  Speaker 36: to my ears. We actually spoke like two adults. And
• 26:11
  Speaker 36: she actually helped me get to where I needed to go.
• 26:15
  Speaker 36: whether it was a number of somebody in a directory
• 26:21
  Speaker 36: or some type of assistance that I could use. So,
• 26:25
  Speaker 36: you know, I'm just trying to relate the Jetsons to today. So,
• 26:33
  Speaker 36: you know, I know AI has, you know, replaces real people.
• 26:39
  Speaker 36: And I know I'm going to do this to say
• 26:43
  Speaker 36: goodbye to Mary Lou today. Goodbye, heart, because I'm done.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: So hello, Mary Lou.
• 26:49
  Speaker 26: Goodbye, heart.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: So hello, Mary Lou.
• 26:54
  Speaker 37: Goodbye, heart.

• 32:30
  Speaker 43: loves salad.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: You know, so lucky.
• 32:33
  Speaker 43: Except there's a little explosive diarrhea issue this year, so we.

  Speaker 18: Jalapeno ranch.
• 32:41

• 32:44
  Speaker 18: Okay, veggies out, fruit is in.
• 32:48
  Speaker 20: Mangoes!
• 32:49
  Speaker 23: Who doesn't love mangoes? Do not eat the mangoes.
• 32:57
  Speaker 39: You know what?
• 32:58
  Speaker 43: Fruit doesn't have to be fresh. How about frozen blueberries? E.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Coli?
• 33:03
  Speaker 43: No meal for your kiddo is complete without protein. Lord
• 33:07
  Speaker 43: knows my little crotch droplet needs that energy to get
• 33:10
  Speaker 43: through the day. Chicken nuggets.
• 33:12
  Speaker 23: Lead?
• 33:14
  Speaker 44: Beef.

  Speaker 43: three-year-old jerky, a strawberry white claw, and a laundry pod.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, I almost forgot.
• 33:48
  Speaker 43: I like to include a little note in his lunchbox
• 33:50
  Speaker 43: to give him some Mama Lovin'..
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: It's the number for poison control.
• 33:57
  Speaker 43: Hey, Supermom.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Number for poison control goes in there. That's amazing. Nice job,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Desi Lydek from The Daily Show.
• 34:05
  Speaker 26: Hey, girl.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: We've all been there, moms, packing those lunches, meal prepping,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's good, what's not good, whatever.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: It's with all the recalls and food. It's increasingly difficult
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to figure out what to prepare for your family, what
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to eat yourself, what to pack in your kids lunches.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: What is even going on? What is even going on
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: with that? And then everything is a bazillion dollars too
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: at the store. So you're paying for things. Am I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: paying for something that's going to make me sick? Is
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: my kid sick? Am I going to regret this later?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: What do I even eat? And my son has allergies too.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: So that's a whole added layer, which is amazing. But
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I thought that was funny and I wanted to share
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: it with you guys this morning.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Make you laugh a little.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: When I first came on this show a couple years ago,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I was actually revisiting that segment.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I did... With.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Bruce Flax and Lee Elsie. And at the time, the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Mangione case had just come about. He had just pleaded
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: or he was pleading guilty, I guess, at the time
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: for the death of Brian Thompson. He's he actually is
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: scheduled for sentencing this December, December 18th. And then there's
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: also a separate New York State prosecution.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: But we really.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Haven't evolved, have we, in the last couple years, our
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: health care in any way, shape, or form.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: It's, in fact, gotten worse. And the system is failing.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm not, you know, everyone's frustrated, angry. this is,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not excusing by any means what Luigi Mangione did. Um, that's,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: that's a whole different conversation for another day. Um, but
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the public's growing sense of the systems are meant that,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: that are set up to meant to protect people, um,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: have become extremely difficult to navigate in their inaccessible, uh,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: And people, it's catastrophic.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: It's causing everything to completely crumble. Doctors are overwhelmed, overworked.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: And Americans are losing faith every day. Okay, it's not abstract.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: In 2026, Kaiser Family Foundation found that 47% of insured
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: adults said that insurer had denied, delayed, or altered access
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: to a service, treatment, or medication during the previous two years.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And among people with chronic conditions, that number rose actually
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to 57%. Prior authorization was identified, and I mentioned this
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: on the show when I was on. Prior authorizations have
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: become a staple for big pharma companies in big insurance
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: um it's it's one of the single single biggest burdens
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: in navigating the health care system and it's it's definitely
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: not an abstract statistic okay that's somebody waiting on treatment
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: cancer patient your mom your sister it's breast cancer awareness
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: month people next month that's this is happening 93 of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: americans are uninsured right now um and it's getting worse
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: It's somebody calling an insurance company, some being told that's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: not covered, some being told we need another prior authorization,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Need to take a closer look at that.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Somebody being told they have to try something else first,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't understand their bill, someone who can't find
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a doctor, who takes their.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Insurance, and sometimes somebody who's already sick, frightened.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a lot of the time we're
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: already frightened, exhausted, and desperate for care. So, The killing
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: of Brian Thompson was the crime. It should be discussed
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: as one, and the justice system has to determine the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: legal consequences. But simultaneously, we can acknowledge something else that
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: has become impossible to ignore. There's an enormous public anger
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: about the American health care system, okay? And those two
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: statements can exist simultaneously. you know, we can condemn violence.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to say before, is you
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: can condemn violence and ask why so many people have
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: recognized something in their own frustrations in the story surrounding
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: this motive. You know, these are all social warning lights.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: The Lindsay Clancy case as well, same thing. There's, you know, Obviously,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: it's a different case, completely different story, and it's more
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: about mental health, but the the the question isn't primarily
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: about insurance executives or corporate power but it's more about
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: what happens when a woman develops a devastating psychiatric illness
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: during one of her periods of life um And then
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: what interventions were available to her? What interventions actually happened?
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: And where were the gaps? Those are not mutually exclusive questions.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And what responsibility do we have collectively when we can
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: see that the system isn't working? Because healthcare isn't supposed
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: to be a maze where we're trying to see our
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: way out of and find.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: The light at the end of the tunnel.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: It's not something we're supposed to fight to access when
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: we're already in crisis. And insurance isn't supposed to feel
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: like an adversarial relationship between the person who needs care
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and the organization determining whether that care will be paid for.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: It's this is.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: And all of this crisis management is so expensive. It
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: is extremely expensive. How do we get here and how
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: do we get out of it?
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Because I.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Don't even want to be, I think it's a shame
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: we're actually even at this juncture. You know, it's really
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: quite it's really quite shocking when you think, when you
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: think about it, that the systems we built to protect
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and care for, educate, ensure, investigate, and govern us human
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: beings is, is fragmented and inaccessible. Um, it's, it's setting
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: us up for failure. So we, we, believe me, we
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: still have individual responsibility.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Um, That's going to be paired with the systemic responsibility. And,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you know, Mangione, Clancy, those are things that happen when
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: people feel trapped inside of a system that doesn't hear them,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: believe them, treat them, contain them, properly identify them.
• 41:53
  Speaker 45: You know?
• 41:56
  Speaker 18: And that.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: And that actually.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: that actually brings me to Cornell to the Cornell seven
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: right now. I, as a woman, um, and I know
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I have a minute left.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Before break, but.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: It took me 30 years to speak about my, um,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: sexual assault. And I didn't want it to be a
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: part of my story. And I didn't even want to
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: call myself a survivor, but, As this case unfolds and
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: those WhatsApp texts and threads come out, and I hear
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: about the fact that this poor girl.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Had to endure seven hours.
• 42:45
  Speaker 20: I don't know.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to be held up
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: against a cold college dormitory floor and spit on.
• 42:51
  Speaker 39: Do you?
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: Do you?
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Where are you at, men? Where are you at? Stand up.

• 44:34
  Speaker 48: Security experts warn leaving Iraq could allow Iran to expand
• 44:38
  Speaker 48: its own influence and perhaps allow ISIS to make a
• 44:41
  Speaker 48: comeback too. Several pro-Iran militia groups operate in Iraq. The
• 44:46
  Speaker 48: commander of one Islamic resistance in Iraq says the U.S.

  Speaker 33: What remains unclear is what led to that emergency call
• 45:11
  Speaker 33: coming from the cockpit that then forced Israel to scramble
• 45:14
  Speaker 33: fighter jets in fears that it had been hijacked. Several
• 45:19
  Speaker 33: different accounts out there from passengers who were on board,
• 45:21
  Speaker 33: but one spoke to Fox News telling us that they
• 45:24
  Speaker 33: believe the co-pilot of Fly Dubai flight FZ1073 stabbed the
• 45:29

  Speaker 12: Fox's Jeff Paul in Tel Aviv.

  Speaker 44: amid fears that The intelligence could get out of control

• 45:50
  Speaker 49: I believe they're going to be used for the good,
• 45:51
  Speaker 49: and when they're not, we're going to be able to
• 45:53
  Speaker 49: nab them. But there's going to be a tremendous self-policing aspect.
• 45:58
  Speaker 46: The voluntary accord does require internal and external reviews. President
• 46:02
  Speaker 46: Trump is also changing the name of AI in government
• 46:06

• 48:51
  Speaker 14: I'm Sean Murphy. When news breaks, we break in.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Welcome to 94.9 News Now and Stimulating Talk. It is
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the 30th of September. My name is Lady Mo. And
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I have sitting next to me a lovely friend of mine.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Her name is Kate.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: She's a great mom. She's a great teacher.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: And right now we are joining forces with the community
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: and Wait Until 8.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Can you talk about that a little bit?
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 50: Hi, Morgan.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Hi, good morning. Thanks so much for having me. You're
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: so welcome.
• 49:46
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so Wait Until 8th is actually a nationwide pledge
• 49:52
  Speaker 15: that empowers parents to delay together giving their children a
• 49:56
  Speaker 15: smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: There's like, I was reading, there's 150,000... Families behind this?
• 50:07
  Speaker 45: Yes.
• 50:07
  Speaker 20: Already?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: At least nationwide. Okay. That's pretty remarkable. Think about that.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: How many cohorts of families really are in one pledge?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Is it like 10 families?
• 50:22
  Speaker 51: Yeah.
• 50:23
  Speaker 15: So the pledge basically works like this. If you can
• 50:27
  Speaker 15: encourage families from your community, from your children's class to
• 50:32
  Speaker 15: log on to Wait and Delete, take the pledge. If
• 50:36
  Speaker 15: you can get 10 families in your grade to take
• 50:38
  Speaker 15: that pledge, the pledge goes active and it creates a
• 50:42
  Speaker 15: small cohort of families that are making the decision to
• 50:46
  Speaker 15: delay and they're making that decision together. So it creates
• 50:49
  Speaker 15: a sense of community, which is really important when we're
• 50:53
  Speaker 15: trying to create change.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: That is something that I have the hardest time navigating
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: as a mom because there are 100% different rules under
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: different rooftops and in different households across the community.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: And so I've had to have difficult discussions.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: With my child already about, you know, gaming, um, social media.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to be having these
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: discussions this early in life with my eight year old. No,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: but it happened. It happened even earlier.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: So, and he was younger and, So that's something I
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: also really want to connect with you on this morning
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: because it's important to reach parents, teachers, kids in every
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: way possible, I think. We're in a crisis.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we absolutely are.
• 51:51
  Speaker 15: And I think the nice thing about creating those cohorts
• 51:54
  Speaker 15: and that sense of community is it gives families, contact information, right,
• 52:00
  Speaker 15: from the other kids and those families that are also
• 52:03
  Speaker 15: deciding to take that pledge to wait.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Until eighth grade.
• 52:06
  Speaker 15: So to go back to what you were saying about,
• 52:08
  Speaker 15: you know, when your kid is starting to go off
• 52:11
  Speaker 15: and have play dates and, you know, you are giving
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: them that natural, you know, bit of freedom. You know,
• 52:17
  Speaker 15: what families are offering unlimited access to social media and
• 52:22
  Speaker 15: the Internet and what families aren't? And I think having that,
• 52:27
  Speaker 15: you know, that kind of community in your kids grade
• 52:29
  Speaker 15: of saying like, yeah, well, you know, Johnny's not getting
• 52:32
  Speaker 15: a phone either. And you know that when they go
• 52:34
  Speaker 15: over and they play, you know, they're going to be doing,
• 52:36
  Speaker 15: they're going to be outside.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: They're going to be climbing trees.
• 52:38
  Speaker 15: They're going to be taking those natural risks that are
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: so much more important for kids and their development than
• 52:45
  Speaker 15: sitting side by side and scrolling on their phone.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Scrolling.
• 52:49
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Not going with the flow, not experiencing life. It's such
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: a disservice. It's, it's, it really is sad. I've seen it. Um,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I've seen it now at my stepdaughter's 24. So I know,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: which is absurd. And my son is eight. So that's, it's,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I've seen multiple generations affected by this. Um, That's why
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I was really glad to find Wait Until 8th because
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: it's a safety net.
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: Totally.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: The cohorts are a safety net in your community and a.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Network that just strengthens this initiative by numbers. I know
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: that Rob Rule, the first selectman, is behind it in Waterford,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: which is amazing.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: So you have backing there. I saw the huge banner up.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: For Waterford Day this summer, and that was wonderful on
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the town hall to see.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: So happy that this is going well for you.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Um, what are some options that we can look at
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: for alternatives after taking the pledge? How do we stay
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: away from, you know, maybe it's, maybe it's not out
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: of line to really stay in communication with your kids
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and be able to, to have a way to connect
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: with them electronically, but safely.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Can we talk about those?
• 54:09
  Speaker 36: Yeah, absolutely.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 54:11
  Speaker 15: And I would say that that is probably one of
• 54:14
  Speaker 15: the biggest hurdles when talking to families of why they
• 54:18
  Speaker 15: end up getting their child that smartphone. I do want
• 54:21
  Speaker 15: to just talk real quick before I answer that question of,
• 54:24
  Speaker 15: you know, kind of why I took this kind of
• 54:26
  Speaker 15: the lead on this. I'm the chapter leader in Waterford.
• 54:29
  Speaker 15: And what I was finding is I was having the
• 54:32
  Speaker 15: same conversation at birthday parties. at Little League, at soccer.
• 54:37
  Speaker 15: Playground all the time.
• 54:38
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 54:38
  Speaker 15: Moms, dads that are saying like, it is terrifying, this
• 54:42
  Speaker 15: digital world that we are entering for our families and
• 54:45
  Speaker 15: our children. But I want to be able to connect
• 54:48
  Speaker 15: with my kid. I don't want them to be left out.
• 54:53
  Speaker 15: I don't want them to be the only one. I
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: want to be able to get a hold of them
• 54:57
  Speaker 15: if they're going to middle school and they have soccer
• 54:59
  Speaker 15: practice after school. And there's a lot of answers to
• 55:03
  Speaker 15: that because you don't need to get your kid a
• 55:05
  Speaker 15: phone with social media and unlimited access to the internet
• 55:10
  Speaker 15: and every terrifying thing that comes with that. There are
• 55:13
  Speaker 15: so many options out there. One of them I'll just
• 55:16
  Speaker 15: talk about briefly is the Bark watch or the Bark phone.
• 55:20
  Speaker 15: and they're basically your old school flip phone. They don't
• 55:24
  Speaker 15: look like the flip phone, so your kid's not going
• 55:26
  Speaker 15: to be totally obvious that they don't have the smartphone.
• 55:31
  Speaker 15: A lot of them do look like smartphones, but they
• 55:34
  Speaker 15: can call mom and dad, they can text mom and dad,
• 55:37
  Speaker 15: and the parents have really easy access to getting hold
• 55:42
  Speaker 15: of their kid, but also putting on the safeguards and
• 55:45
  Speaker 15: the parental controls that Apple has made really hard.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: For families to do.
• 55:50
  Speaker 15: It's not easy to protect your kid and all of
• 55:53
  Speaker 15: the social media and all of the different apps and
• 55:55
  Speaker 15: all of the different group chats on an Apple iPhone.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: It's really hard.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I was just talking to my husband actually about this
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: because adults now are communicating through these apps. I keep
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: getting phone calls and texts from WhatsApp and I'm like,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I don't even know.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: I don't use this. Can we just talk to him?
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Humans connecting.
• 56:19
  Speaker 18: I know.
• 56:19
  Speaker 15: And no, because, you know, you can access somebody on Facebook,
• 56:24
  Speaker 15: you know, Messenger. And, you know, there's so many different
• 56:27
  Speaker 15: ways for people to reach your kids.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Roblox, right?
• 56:30
  Speaker 15: Like there's so many different apps and it's really hard
• 56:35
  Speaker 15: for parents to keep up with keeping their kids safe.
• 56:38
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: The Roblox thing gets me because we, I, you know,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: the congressional hearings have highlighted in.
• 56:47
  Speaker 13: You know, in a.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Perfect way that these games are predatory. They're used in
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: a predatory fashion. It's been it's been proven over and
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: over again that that's what they're used for.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: And so that's. all I'm going to say about that.
• 57:03
  Speaker 13: But yeah.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you a story? Yeah, tell me a story.
• 57:06
  Speaker 15: So I teach health education at the middle school.
• 57:10
  Speaker 51: Okay.
• 57:11
  Speaker 15: And obviously this topic is, you know, it's important for
• 57:15
  Speaker 15: anyone to be talking about, but it's definitely fresh.
• 57:17
  Speaker 20: On my mind.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Heavily used there.
• 57:18
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 57:19
  Speaker 15: And, you know, I have a unique situation where I
• 57:22
  Speaker 15: have little kids at home and I get a firsthand
• 57:24
  Speaker 15: glimpse of what it's like to be a middle schooler
• 57:27
  Speaker 15: and the impact that the phone's the social media has
• 57:33
  Speaker 15: taken on kids. So one thing I asked my health class,
• 57:37
  Speaker 15: and this was a seventh grade class last year, I said, hey,
• 57:39
  Speaker 15: how many of you have ever talked to a stranger online?
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Every single kid's hand went up. I can't even.
• 57:46
  Speaker 52: Yeah.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: That's devastating. I just got chills when you said that.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: That is terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. And a few of them
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, well, it was just on a game.
• 57:56
  Speaker 26: And.
• 57:59
  Speaker 15: They don't even know how dangerous these games are and
• 58:03
  Speaker 15: that this is how predators work.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: The screen almost... The screen... It dilutes. It dilutes the
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: situation to them.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: It doesn't... It almost doesn't seem as dangerous because the
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: screen separates them.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what makes it extra dangerous. So, was there... Now.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: I will say this, what I've also noticed, and maybe
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: you have noticed this in your, with your unique perspective,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: your mom with littles, and then also being a teacher
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: in a middle school, is it affecting school hours?
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Are you guys, I mean, are.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: You taking, do you have to deal with stuff that's
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: happening outside of school, inside of school now because of this?
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: So I have a lot of, um, A lot of
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: different ways I want to answer this question.
• 58:56
  Speaker 15: So, yes, I spoke with all of our administrators in town,
• 59:00
  Speaker 15: and I've done a lot of research. And there are
• 59:03
  Speaker 15: a lot of hours that are being spent by you
• 59:05
  Speaker 15: know our resources in school our guidance counselors our social
• 59:08
  Speaker 15: workers our admin team our.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Sros connecticut this is across the.
• 59:12
  Speaker 15: Country yeah it has to be right to be right
• 59:15
  Speaker 15: um where problems that are starting online group chats especially um.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Screenshots that are shared on social.
• 59:25
  Speaker 15: Media but then deleted but let's not forget about the
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: digital footprint of.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: These kids right It's so long lasting.
• 59:31
  Speaker 15: It's coming into school and it's impacting the school hours
• 59:35
  Speaker 15: because now it's the school's problem to help kids navigate
• 59:39
  Speaker 15: because they are, yeah, they're, you know, in such distress
• 59:42
  Speaker 15: from what happened the night before and they can't learn
• 59:45
  Speaker 15: in that environment. So now it's taking our resources and
• 59:47
  Speaker 15: they're having to, you know, navigate those.
• 59:49
  Speaker 26: So.
• 59:50
  Speaker 15: There's that the school that I work in actually just
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: got rid of phones. Grade six through eight.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: They need to be in the kids lockers.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: And that is a huge step.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 15: And one thing I mean, we've only been back to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 15: school for a few weeks now. But one thing that
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 15: has been so beautiful is when kids have downtime between classes.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Our eighth graders used to be able to use their
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: phone as like a privilege.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 31: Yeah, sure.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Now they can't.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 15: And they're a little, you know, why can't we have
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 15: phone at first?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: But now they're socializing like. We did.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: Amazing.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they're having, you know, the awkward conversations. You see,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 15: you know, the boys going up to the girls.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Like, it's happening.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 15: It's so developmentally appropriate and necessary.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: And wholesome.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 23: Wholesome.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: It's so great. And they're being kids. Back to basics.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 15: Yes, it's really great. So Clark Lane did a really
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 15: awesome thing with that. And I think a lot of
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 15: schools are getting on board.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: It's really cool. I love this. I love this. This
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: is smart. We know now.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Obviously, we can make the analogy. Smoking is bad for us.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Cell phones, if they're not utilized properly, they are bad
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 15: And just like with smoking, we didn't know for quite
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 15: some time. And this is not to shame or blame
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 15: any parents that have gotten their kids' phones.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 20: Correct.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 26: 100%.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 15: 100%.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 5: But we also didn't know.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 15: Everything that we know now the amount of data the
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 15: amount of science the amount of research that has come
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 15: out over the last 15 years since the introduction of
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 15: the smartphone back i think it was 2010 it's it's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 15: important and and we need to listen to it and
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 15: i think with wait until eighth um we can start
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 15: making that change together so i think parents are really
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 15: um They're really happy that they actually have another option now.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: And they have the support to do it. Well, I've
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: been talking with a lot of parents. You know, you've been.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Really happy to ask for my help.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: And I've been happy, just as happy to give it
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Running the tables at back to school nights at the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: elementary schools and middle school. And I really do think
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: that parents, first of all, most of the parents I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: chatted with already took the pledge.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: They were just.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Happy to stop by and say, hey, good job. You know,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: thanks for being here. We appreciate you. And while it
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: was tough in the beginning and going against the grain,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: you know, this is really going with the flow now.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: And so we appreciate you. And it's helped my kids
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: stay kids a little bit longer, you know. But they
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: do ask for solutions. And so we've got the Bark
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Watch and the Bark Phone.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: And then what else? I thought there was one more.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 15: So there is actually a very long list. And as
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 15: we know with the tech world, it's constantly changing. These
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 15: are like first gen, right?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 36: Yeah.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: And I'm just going to do a quick plug. Wait
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: until 8th.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 15: Dot org has a phenomenal resource page on there for
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 15: alternative phones.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: So that's definitely a great resource.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 15: The other one that I'm very excited to get from
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 15: my family is called the tin can.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Now, the tin can, it can't go with you.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 15: It is basically the modern landline and it works over the,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 15: over wifi.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's got a long.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 15: Cord and it actually looks like a little tin can.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: It comes in a cute color. Um, yeah, but kids
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: can pick it up.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 15: They can, um, they can call out to whoever the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 15: parent programs, um, as like a safe option. Okay.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Is there a desk? So there's a designated list.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: The, the parent or the guardian, um, approves for the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: tin can, is there like a cap on how many
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: people it can call out or call in?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: So there's two options. They have two different plans.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 15: One, you buy the phone and that's it. You can
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 15: call any other kid or family member that has a
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 15: tin can. There's also a plan. I think it's like
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 15: $ 10 a month. And the kids can call grandma down
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 15: in Florida. They can call Johnny down the street. They
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 15: can call 911 in an emergency.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 36: Love this.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 15: And they have like little speed dial numbers. So it's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 15: super kid friendly. It's super easy for families to use.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 15: And probably the most beautiful thing is nobody can call
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 15: in unless you are on that approved list.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: That is spectacular.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 44: Yes.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely spectacular. These are wonderful things.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Things coming out of something that just was not so
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: good for us, I think. So what else can we
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: actually touch upon?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: I think that. wait until late.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: There's an exceptional way that, that you can get involved
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: in your community. Um, is there a way to get
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: in touch with you directly? If someone wants, it listens
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: to this piece and, uh, like through wait until eight.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Um, and they want to take it to their town. Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 15: I've actually had a few, um, neighboring towns, um, you know,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 15: other moms reach out and say, this is so great.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: How can I get involved? Um, which is, which is huge.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 15: And that's what this is all about is really expanding
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 15: the community and, um, just providing that sense of support.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 15: So wait until eighth has a ton of resources on
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 15: there of how you can become a chapter leader for
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 15: your town. I also have and run a Facebook and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 15: an Instagram page. We until eighth and then underscore Waterford, Connecticut.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 15: And I'm super happy to help people get it off
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 15: the ground, you.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Know, in their area.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 15: And it's, it's been, it's been really, it's been a
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 15: really great experience. And as you said, we're going against
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 15: the grain here.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: I can't believe how against the grain it can be.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 15: It is in the sense where it's so normalized. People
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 15: think I come to middle school and I.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Need a smartphone, right? To fit in. To fit in.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: It's the fitting in piece.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: But what I really think is happening behind closed doors
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: is nobody wants to do it.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 15: No.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 42: No.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: I agree. I agree with that.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 20: And now.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 15: We have another option. We have two paths we can take.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 15: And I think that's huge because families should be able
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 15: to choose the path that makes the most sense and
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 15: is aligned with their values and their morals and not
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 15: just because everyone has one.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 20: It can be done.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Look, listen, my sister has a 15-year-old daughter who does
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: not have a cell phone yet. You know, the pediatrician
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: was commending her about, you know, the fact that.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: This can be done.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: And holy moly, it's it's tough, but they did it
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: and they're going to do it until she gets her life.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: You know, when she gets her license, then it's appropriate.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 51: Totally.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: But but even then, you know.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: When you start diving into the research, how it affects
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: the young minds of young women and girls and where
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: it lands them, the beauty.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Industry, social media. I mean, you, you can really.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Go down a rabbit hole with all of that, but
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you see it in the middle.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: School, the ramifications of that.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: And then also with, um, boys and their access to pornography,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sure.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 15: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's it's a really, really big issue,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 15: you know, as far as like what kids are seeing,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 15: what the content is that is online, what the algorithm
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 15: is putting in front of kids.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: And the algorithm targets the individual.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 45: Oh, yeah.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 51: Yep.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 15: And truly young boys are one, maybe two clicks away
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 15: from seeing hardcore porn put in front of them. And
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 15: it's it's happening at a much faster pace than.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: It did generations ago.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 15: You know, when we talk about the beauty industry for girls,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 15: I always say like we had to wait for the
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 15: next Cosmo magazine to come out to figure out what.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: To wear, how to do my hair.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 23: Yes. Right.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: All of those things.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 15: And it is it is terrifying what this beauty industry
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 15: is doing to young girls today. Because they're putting content
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 15: in front of them every single day.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Force feeding it.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 15: Every 30 seconds. Think about how long a TikTok video is.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 15: Short form content.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Very short form. The dopamine hits.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 50: Yes.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 15: And they're being told, this is what good is. This
• 1:08:18

• 1:23:02
  Speaker 52: tried it out in 1998. We were living in.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 5: The Bay Area.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 52: We came east often to see my mother, who owned
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 52: the farm. And we just decided to spend a summer
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 52: here and just sort of try it out. And we
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 52: completely fell in love with the place. Then we had
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 52: to go, at the end of the summer, we had
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 52: to go back to Menlo Park, California, where the rest
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 52: of the universe wants to live. And we were like,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 52: every morning, oh my God, we're still in California. So anyway,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 52: we moved. And there were a few problems with starting
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 52: up a farm in East Lyme. I knew actually only
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 52: a handful of people in the area. I will say
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 52: they were all ardent consumers of junk food.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: We all are.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 8: Like, really?
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 52: I'm going to grow organic produce and people only want
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 52: to eat, like, you know, Big Macs and Ho-Hos.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: Down the street are their golden arches.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 14: Exactly.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 52: So that was one problem. And the other problem was
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 52: David and I knew zero about farming.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: This is incredible because what you have built there is magnificent.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: You have a bed and breakfast... You have.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: Hosted endless farm-to-table dinners that are fantastic. You give back
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: to the community with everything that you grow that doesn't sell.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: You have hosted Farm Fest, which are community gatherings.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: You have taught people how to cook.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: And the land there is gorgeous. Also with the ice
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: house you have. the trails you have to hike.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 52: Well, that's really what I love about the place. It's
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 52: this giant canvas upon which I felt I could paint anything,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 52: sometimes to the dismay of my staff. But anyway, yes,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 52: there are many enterprises at White Cave Farm. What really does,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 52: you know, I'm all about organic growing and eating lots
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 52: of vegetables, and we raise lots of chickens and turkeys.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 52: which we process ourselves. I also always have nine lambs,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 52: which I inevitably fall in love with. And I think
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 52: one of a micro enterprise I could start is 15
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 52: minutes with lambs. It's only like $ 25, but it's going.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 5: To do you more good than an.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: Hour of psychotherapy.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 52: You can condense the effect just by scrubbing the cheeks
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 52: of the little lambs.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: They really are fantastic.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: I actually brought my son and his bestie to one
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: of your critter tours this summer. We were lucky enough
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: to hang out with you for an afternoon and see
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: those sheep and feed those sheep. And they were so
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: vocal and super cute, very fluffy, very friendly.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 52: We always get bottle-raised lambs, so they're certainly expecting that
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 52: any human being is going to be feeding them. And
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 52: they adore me. I will say that.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: They do come running to you pretty fast, Pauline.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: The chicken there also, we, you know, I've noticed after
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: being there just Saturday, you know, with the storm and everything,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: you guys must have quite the setup.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: When weather.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: Comes in like this. What happens on the farm when
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: bad weather hits?
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 52: Well, we were really lucky because we didn't lose power.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 52: But we were prepared with quantities of generators.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 36: I'll say that.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 31: Scary.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 12: We were lucky.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: Have you seen like an inundation, like more bad weather.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 18: Do you think?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 52: Oh, of course.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 20: Well, of course.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 52: Climate change definitely.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 5: Affects all of us.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 52: I would say in this area, we're quite lucky. I
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 52: would rather have too much rain than no rain and
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 52: heat and fires. So we're very lucky.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say so.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 52: Yeah, certainly affects our crops, different crops in different ways,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 52: too much rain, et cetera, et cetera. But, you know,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 52: one of the things I love talking about, of course,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 52: with anybody is that sort of thing. And we often
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 52: have people come to stay on the farm who are
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 52: extremely curious about whether it be climate change or, you know,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 52: organic growing methods. We had a family recently who that
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 52: I just happened to be there on a week when
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 52: we were doing a bunch of cool farm things. So
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 52: early Wednesday morning, two of the guys showed up to
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 52: help us slaughter chickens.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 24: Wow.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Fun times. Sounds really great to start your morning off.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 14: So they did that.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 52: And then the next day at night at 10 p.m.,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 52: we had to move our whole laying flock of like
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 52: 140 chickens from one their main barn into their summer quarters,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 52: as I call them. That has to be done at
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 52: night when the chickens are trying to sleep. So 12
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 52: of their people from this extended family showed up with
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 52: headlamps on to move these chickens.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: And that's part of staying at the bed and breakfast.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: It can be.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 55: I love this.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 52: The very next day. So this was a three day.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 52: It was like a trifecta of farm fun.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 20: I love this.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 52: The next day I needed help moving the lambs to
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 52: another pasture.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 20: There they were.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: There they were.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 52: It's not required if you come to stay at White
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 52: Cave Farm that you participate in all these things. But
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 52: it's a fun option.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: It's recommended for sure.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 14: I would.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 52: We're a working farm.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: And we can post the link for, you know, you
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: guys are listed on VRBO and stuff like that.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: People can find you that way. But also at WhiteGateFarm.org.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 5: Is it.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 59: Org?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 44: net.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 5: net.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 26: Okay.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 28: Yep.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: What can they find there if they go shopping at
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: the market on any given day?
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 14: Oh, gosh.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 52: The market is so much fun because, of course, the
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 52: backbone of it is our gorgeous organic produce.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: It really is gorgeous.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 24: There's nothing like it.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 52: If you don't want to eat it, just look at it.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: It tastes good, though.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 52: It really does.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: The flavor, when you realize this food is grown and
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: cared for.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: With love, with the utmost love and regeneration that the flavor.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: It really shows that. It really does.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 24: It's true. It's true.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 25: It's true.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful food.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 52: I'm not really saying people shouldn't eat it, but I
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 52: like photographing it as much as I like eating it.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: I know with the introduction of social media, you guys
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: must be photographing that food quite a bit.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 52: We have an Insta king on board, Dan. He does
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 52: great Insta posts.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: Farmer Dan. Farmer Dan.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 22: Hey, buddy.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: The farm is really great. I like going there for gifts.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 28: Yes.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: As well as my own produce. I think one thing
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: that got me through COVID was you guys, for sure.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 52: Our online store.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Your online store. Yeah, that was a nice feature that
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: opened up. Tell us about that.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 52: Yeah, well, this was something that we actually had set
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 52: up in 2019 because there were such long lines, such
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 52: long checkout lines on Saturdays. So we created this whole
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 52: online store only for prepared foods. We launched it, and
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 52: it resulted in not even one order. Zero.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 5: That winter.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 52: I don't know about you, but when I can't sleep,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 52: I like to review the top ten things I've done
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 52: that were really serious.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course. It's the perfect time.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 36: To do it.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 14: On the farm.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 52: So, so there we were COVID hit and we were ready.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 52: So we, in four days time set up this huge
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 52: online thing and it was, it was the lifeline for
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 52: a lot of our customers.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 22: It was.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: And it, and, and you guys have a newfound life
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: again in the mass production of food and, and with
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: all the recalls happening, the CDC is, I get alerts
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: multiple a day on what not to eat. So I
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: want to thank local farmers for this, for their hard
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: work in feeding the people. I know you guys want
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: to feed us. You want to feed your communities. This
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: is what you're doing.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 52: I mean, feeding people, it, it, It means so much
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 52: to me. I mean, obviously, we all need to eat.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 52: But the standard American diet, SAD, is pretty horrible. And,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 52: of course, now with the cyclosporiasis and E. coli and
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 52: all of these other concerns, and, you know, people say
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 52: we're a little asleep.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: At the switch.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 52: In terms of food safety on the national level.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: It's food insecurity, and it's not safe at all.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: It's really not. I played a clip earlier from The
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: Daily Show. Desi Lydek, who's a comedian and news journalist,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it was a funny bit. She was making, she.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: Said, she was like, hey, moms, we're making school lunch
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: for your kiddos.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: And she ended up with a laundry pod, a white cloth,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: And a number for poison control in there.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 14: Oh, my God.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: Because really, it is so sad. The standard American diet.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 36: How.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: What a tragic place.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 52: So I have a background in counseling.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, so do I.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 52: And I used to work a lot with women with
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 52: eating disorders.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 52: And I just am so fascinated by our attitude towards
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 52: feeding ourselves.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 24: I mean, food.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 52: For many people, it could be the enemy. It could
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 52: be the solace for depression or anxiety. It could be
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 52: so many different things.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: I will say, yeah, the addiction, the food addiction piece
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: is huge. And food by design now is made to
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: be addictive. The scientists behind these big food companies hire
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: people to study the effects on the brain and enhance
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: the food to have that effect.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: Impact.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 33: Right.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 52: Absolutely.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: So we need to, we need more of you. All
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: hail White Gate Farm.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 52: Well, I'll tell you, it's so much fun. And what's
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 52: great for me is it checks an awful lot of boxes.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 52: So you started the show today talking about time. How
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 52: do you spend your time?
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to that.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 52: I'm so interested in how people can have, how people
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 52: can be happy. Many years ago, I took a workshop
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 52: from a Burmese Buddhist nun in San Francisco called How
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 52: to Be Happy. And she said, the key is you
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 52: first identify your greatest evil.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: That can take a little doing, right? I was just
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: going to say, talk.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 52: About work right there. And then you design a path
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 52: in opposition to that.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, like the antidote, finding the antidote almost.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 52: So your work can be dealing with addressing that thing
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 52: that most bothers you. And so for me, you know,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 52: White Gate Farm, I mean, let's face it, isolation is
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 52: a big problem in this world.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 14: Right?
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 52: It was bad enough before iPhones became our personal best
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 52: friends and sometimes our only friends.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 26: Right?
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 52: So people come to the farm and say, I'm so happy.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 52: You know, our customers are great.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 42: Yes.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 52: And we know so many of them, and they know us.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 52: So that's a wonderful thing. And then, of course, we've
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 52: got the lodging thing. So great that families can get
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 52: together or their friends from all over the country or
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 52: sometimes the world at the inn. And then the feeding part,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 52: really helping people stay healthy.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: You have a sign in your....
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: In your farm stand that you are helping feed the communities.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: Can you explain a little bit of that, how you
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: do a little bit of feeding the communities and the
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: outreach that you.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: Do supporting food banks? Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 52: We are so happy when we grow too much stuff. Um,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 52: well it goes to various spots. Um, But a big
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 52: one is the food bank in Old Saybrook.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 23: Amazing.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 9: Amazing.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Because that is part of also helping the standard American
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: diet because we all know that people in certain communities
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: and lower socioeconomic status don't have access to the same
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: goods and services that we do in our communities. And
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: so thank you for that. That is really special.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: The regenerative piece, giving back to the land, making sure
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: that you guys aren't degrading the land with harsh chemicals
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: and pesticides, adding to climate change, I also know is
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: really big for you. And that's a part of pouring
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: back into the earth and being good stewards of the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: earth and what you're doing with your time as well.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: Can you speak on that?
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 20: Absolutely.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 52: Well, one of the things I did in California was
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 52: I ran a conservation group for years. And, you know,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 52: there were dark days. We underwent a lot of campaigns
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 52: to save open space. And there would be times I go,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 52: I don't think we're going to win this one. And
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 52: then I would comfort myself by thinking, but there are
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 52: 100 acres in Connecticut I think I can save. So,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 52: you know, just by keeping that land open, I feel
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 52: like we're doing a lot of good. We have incredible
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 52: wildlife there. And, yeah, it's our own little way of

  Speaker 52: helping with the climate change thing.

  Speaker 1: When I read the headline news about bees officially being
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: on or honeybees, you know, being on the endangered species list.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: That's just terrifying. I feel like the rug is being
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: ripped right out from underneath my feet. But then I
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: go to White Gate and I see there's hope because
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: there's action.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: You know, it's the best form of medicine, right?

• 1:38:25
  Speaker 52: trucked all around the country. How crazy is that?
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: That is so absurd.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 52: Yeah, from state to state, pollinating massive orchards and such. Yeah,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 52: our bees stay put, just want you to know that.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 52: They're not going anywhere.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're gorgeous honeybees and they make the best honey.

  Speaker 62: To it, we actually tout tiny cracks in that exploitation
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 62: as victory.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 44: The president touting the first ever negotiations with pharmaceutical companies
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 44: to lower the cost of 10 drugs.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 36: And today, I'm proud to announce that Medicare has reached
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 36: agreement with all manufacturers on all 10 drugs selected in
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 36: the first round of negotiations.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, can it be?
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 62: The companies we subsidize with billions of dollars are allowing
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 62: us the privilege to negotiate the price of 10 of
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 62: their drugs?
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 5: And 10 is all of them, right? It would be
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: embarrassing if it was a small.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 62: Drop in the bucket and that the American people didn't
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 62: expect that we should negotiate.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 24: For all their f * * * ing drugs.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 62: Because we've already paid for them with our subsidies.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 39: Come on!
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 5: He's going to the hospital.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 27: Trump midterms Connecticut. Details all day on 94.9 News Now.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 5: Hello.

• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: here and I'm honored. Thanks for sticking with me. Where
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: have we been so far? We've been some good places.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: And I also want to just like set the story straight.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: I'm very sorry that there were some obscure moments before
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: in the beginning of the show. The the panel, the
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: radio panel wasn't working. We were underneath the desk in
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: the early morning hours trying to. figure things out. There
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: was no internet for a little while. We couldn't connect
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: to Facebook. We couldn't tag anybody. I mean, there was
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: like issue after issue. And then, um, and then again, um,
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: my last guest, I had to redirect everything. So, um,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: here we are. I'm going to take calls for the
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: last hour, this eight to nine hour. Please give us
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: a ringy ding ding. The phone number is 860-464-9490. I
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: want to know what's on your mind. I want to
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: know how you've been taking the information given to you today. Um,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: if you have anything, any stories to tell about waiting to,
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: you know, delaying the smartphone. Um, if you want to
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: talk about being a good sort of the lands, organic food, the,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: the standard American diet, food insecurity, call about that. If
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: you want to call and scream into the ether with
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: me about what is going on, uh, with healthcare, mental health, uh, Education, insurance,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: child welfare, technology, government.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: Call, please.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 6: 860-464-9490.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: I would love to hear from you.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: Before my last guest, I actually wanted to touch on
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: the Cornell 7.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 15: And if.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: If you guys haven't heard, basically, what happened was there's
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: an underlying incident, allegedly, that occurred at a fraternity house there,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: and that was a couple years ago. It was in
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: October of 2024. A former Cornell student, a woman, Jane Doe,
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: came forward in this civil lawsuit, and she alleges that
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: she was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven fraternity members
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: for seven hours straight. She, at the time, reported the
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: incident to Cornell Police. Prosecutors did not bring criminal charges,
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: saying her original sworn statement did not allege that she
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: had been.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: Drugged without her knowledge.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: That stuff is all very, very complex, but there's this underlying,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: really this underlying theme of accountability and disciplinary action That
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: seems to be a recognized pattern that goes straight to
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: the top of the top of the food chain in
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: this country. And there's, I think what's interesting is that
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: there's newly publicized images of this like group chat or
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: this Snapchat thing. that submerged, circulating, you know, that there
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: were just so many people involved in this.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: Cornell....
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: This university has some action to take. The disciplinary action
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: needs to come from that institution as well.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 52: So.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: We're looking at you right now, Cornell. We're looking at you.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: And I think I really do think.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 12: That.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: This is how we have a caller. Let's take a call.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 2: I would love that.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: Who's on the phone? We have Hayward. Hayward, good morning.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 6: Hi.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 26: Good morning.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 20: Hey.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 63: Responding to the call for people to want to shout
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 63: in the void.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 26: Just kidding.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: Please, let's do it.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 39: Primal.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 63: The food system, the standard American diet, the SAD, I
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 63: definitely have my critiques of it, and it's very frustrating.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 63: And you'll you'll remember me from time to time talking
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 63: about what I consider basically the scam-based economy that is
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 63: basically our entire world at this point. And food especially
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 63: is something that really gets under my skin, especially given how,
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 63: of course, foundational it is to our health. But historically speaking,
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 63: the control over food or the land that it comes
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 63: from has been a big part of how this whole
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 63: scam that we're all stuck in now exists. There was
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 63: once a time where most humans had a pretty good
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 63: idea of what you could eat around you. And while
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 63: you wouldn't necessarily have a Big Mac, you would have
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 63: food that might keep you alive, and perhaps the level
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 63: of daily freedom you would have as a result of
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 63: that was worth not having the Big Mac. There's a
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 63: Greek philosopher called Diogenes who once had someone come up
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 63: to him and say, well, if you would simply learn
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 63: to bow to the king, you wouldn't have to live
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 63: off of lentils. And he said, but my friend, if
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 63: you would live off of lentils, you wouldn't have to
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 63: bow to that king. You know, there's this... There's this
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 63: liberty and freedom in having access to the means of survival,
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 63: of food, clean water, clean air, all the things that
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 63: are being eroded constantly for profit. As I'm driving on
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 63: my way to my job in order to afford the
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 63: land that I live on, I am driving by edible plants.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 63: I'm driving by piles of hickory nuts on the side
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 63: of the road that most people wouldn't even know what
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 63: they are, so they just run them over. There are,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 63: for example, the peak of absurdity. Very near here, there's
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 63: a Walmart that has a wild apple tree covered in apples,
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 63: and people just drive by it not even realizing what
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 63: it is after they've bought probably a bunch of apples.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do know. I see it now all the time.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 63: Yeah, you know, I have on my porch right now
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 63: probably about 200 pounds of pears that I harvested from
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 63: a tree by the side of the road that I've
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 63: been harvesting for a few years now. And the point
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 63: is we have this food, at least still to some
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 63: degree— commonly available to a lot of people and they
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 63: don't necessarily have the literacy or even the imagination to
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 63: think that food could come from anywhere other than a
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 63: grocery store. And do we not think that's exactly where
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 63: those who profit off of our ignorance would want us?
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 51: Yeah.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 26: Probably.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Hayward. That's a really fascinating point. Is this
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: so this this would one call this foraging?
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 26: Yeah, oh, absolutely.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 63: You know, I was having dinner with my uncle who
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 63: was visiting recently, and I said, sorry, I just came
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 63: back from foraging, and he was visibly befuddled. He said,
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 63: what do you mean foraging? I said, well, you know,
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 63: there's a plant planted by the DOT like 50 years
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 63: ago that's crazy invasive, and it's literally all over every road.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 26: That you see.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 63: It's called autumn olive, also known as Japanese silverberry. If
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 63: you're driving down the road today and you see silvery
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 63: leaves and fistfuls of red berries, if you like tart
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 63: things and your body likes omega-3s and antioxidants, you can
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 63: eat those. And you can also make wine out of
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 63: them for those that are interested in doing so. I've
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 63: kicked that habit, but it's an option.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: We could do a whole show on foraging, I think.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: First and foremost, there's a huge social media presence for
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: foragers now. And somebody who's extremely interested in myself and
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: these ancient wisdoms of apothecaries and plant medicine.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: I know how powerful a lot of the stuff just
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: seemingly innocent on the side of the road can be.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: Goldenrod was something I harvested from my yard the other day.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: Purslane is something actually that White Gate Farm introduced me to.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know that one of the most abundant
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: sources of omegas is. Really, if you guys out there
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: don't know what omegas are, and I know you do, Hayward,
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: but omegas for brain health, you know, their purslane is
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: one of the most abundant sources of that.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: And it's growing. It's considered, you.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: Know, a very, very invasive, very durable weed, almost a
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: succulent that grows in everybody's yard in the cracks and crevices,
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: you know, and endures all sorts of environmental catastrophes and
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: still grows. But I put it in a salad sometimes.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: I have some in my backyard, and I'll go pick it.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: And if I need a kick, if my brain needs
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: a little help, I'll put some on a Sammy.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: And it's delicious.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 63: Absolutely.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in, Hayward. I appreciate it. I can't
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: wait to hear you. Are you coming on soon?
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 36: Nope.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 26: Okay.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, Hayward's gone. Who do we have next? We have Coach.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 5: What up?
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 2: Coach, Coach, Coach. Call it in.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 9: Leo.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 39: Well, Lady Mo, this is indeed an honor.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 20: Hello, sir.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 39: You were paying tribute to Yule Gibbons just now with
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 39: the foraging and the nuts and berries routine. You know,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 39: I've got to say this. I don't know how much
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 39: of a deficit we are at in the United States
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 39: in terms of nutrients and minerals and different things because
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 39: we've got an advantage in and except in the most extreme,
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 39: extreme cases. We don't eat too badly. Could we do better?
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 26: Yeah, of course.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 39: You know? But that's just an aside. I called in, really,
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 39: to talk about the whole cell phone thing.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 39: You had quite a dissertation on cell phones. And I've
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 39: got to tell you, so I was a school teacher
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 39: for 44 years, and I'd say probably the last 20
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 39: cell phones became an issue, let's say. Maybe an issue.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 39: But you know what? Just like with AI, with artificial intelligence, the.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 50: Genie's out of the bottle.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 39: I don't know what you're ever going to do to
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 39: regulate that unless you put an out-and-out ban on cell phones.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 39: They are a distraction. They are a disruption in the school. Kids,
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 39: now because between their Chromebooks, their iPads, and their cell phones.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 39: For them to use them as an advantage is an understatement.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 39: And it's almost, if you give a test, it's almost
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 39: a given. I mean, unless you've got flock cameras on
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 39: every kid in the class, that they're going to use
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 39: those to try to gain an advantage. And I gave
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 39: my last final exam this past spring, and I had
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 39: a question on the test.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 26: What.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 39: One event, catastrophic event, caused the demise of the dinosaurs
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 39: 65 million years ago. And so I had a couple
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 39: of kids, because they were also... We did a test
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 39: on a computer, and the kids are a little sharper
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 39: on the computer than most of us adults. Kid writes
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 39: down an extraterrestrial impact. I said, well, was that right?
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 39: I said, well, I... I said, I'm from the dark ages.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 39: Can you tell me what that means?
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 26: Uh, no, I can't.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 39: I said, well, how'd you get the answer? Oh, I
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 39: looked it up. So not only did the kid look
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 39: the answer up, but didn't have the presence of mind
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 39: to say, I didn't look it up.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 45: Yeah.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 39: So, I mean, I don't know, lady Mo, I don't
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 39: know what's going to happen. I think the solutions are well-intentioned.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 39: Everybody's got an idea, but you know, at the end
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 39: of the day, We as the adults will have to
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 39: bear the burden of this, if you want to call
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 39: it that. And maybe there's a smart way to be
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 39: able to use this technology, the cell phones, the computers,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 39: the iPads, AI. But by trying to put up a
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 39: stone wall against it, I think in the end, education
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 39: will lose and we as adults will lose.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I mean, it's a strong point, and it's
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 2: a good argument, Coach.
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: Casey O'Neill was in here a couple weeks ago with
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: me talking about AI and what it's done to us.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 39: The venerable Casey O'Neill.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: That's the one. That's the one. Oh, my God.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: But we can agree, it's kind of crushing creativity a
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: little bit. It's stifling creativity. a society that's already stifled.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 2: In a lot of ways.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: And I think that kind of action or that kind
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: of antidote is going to be necessary moving forward in
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: order to kind of keep things middle of the road
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: or a happy medium of simultaneously existing with this technology. I,
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: you know, my son requires, he's in the third grade
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: and he, Now in music class, they're involving all sorts
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: of technology and then they're asking them to go home
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: and use it outside of school, too. So I'm just
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you got a question if you're if you're
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: arguing as teachers and administrators to lessen the time on
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: electronics education. outside of school then why are we asking
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: them to to use them so much and so heavily
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: i guess that's just the world we live in like
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: it's hard to do you know what i'm saying it's
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: very hard well.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 39: I i i agree with you Textbooks and traditional learning
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 39: modalities have become almost extinct. So I think there's an
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 39: inherent need for the computer, right, and for the electronic stuff.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 39: But I think in terms of trying to maintain academic
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 39: integrity or academic honesty— You know, there are ways to
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 39: do it. I mean, I know when they give the
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 39: SAT test now, they do it on a computer.

  Speaker 28: League wild card series between the Red Sox and the

  Speaker 28: Yankees couldn't have gone any worse for Boston. The Red
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 28: Sox had their you-know-what's handed to them by the Yankees. 9-0.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 28: And to add insult to that injury, they were kicked
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 28: in the teeth by two guys on the Yankees who
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 28: grew up in Massachusetts. Cam Schlittler from Walpole, Massachusetts, threw
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 28: a career-high 117 pitches, had 10 strikeouts, and now holds

• 2:18:52
  Speaker 28: four hits, including two home runs, one of which was
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 28: a grand slam, and six RBI to make last night's

• 2:20:08
  Speaker 11: about $ 2 million to RIPTA's expenses after its fixed-price fuel
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 11: contract expired. The increase is raising questions about whether the
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 11: agency's current $ 2 fare could eventually rise. Providence's efforts to
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 11: fire Police Sergeant Joseph Hanley have cost taxpayers nearly $ 1

  Speaker 30: Some good gospel, you know me.
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 26: Listen, I wanted to weigh in around the fringes of
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 26: your conversation today about the food and the other things,
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 26: which are also pretty fascinating. I wanted to get into
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 26: the depths of the sexual assault a topic that you've
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 26: been talking about. And I want to preface this by
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 26: saying I think that sexual assault is among the worst
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 26: of all crimes and should be punished with the heaviest hand. Like,
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 26: I'm really alarmed at the fact that, like, six- and
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 26: eight-time rapists are just let out for good behavior out
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 26: of jails and, you.
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 42: Know, get out.
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 26: You know, they bond out with no cash bails, and
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 26: they're out on our streets, and we're basically... subject to
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 26: them out there predatorizing our neighborhoods and our children. And
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 26: it's awful. And it's not just women, right? We all
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 26: know that sexual assault is pretty prevalent among men also.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 30: And, you know, it's heartbreaking to me to see, like,
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 30: these arranged marriages, you know, where there's, like, a seven-year-old bride,
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 30: you know, like, screaming in terror. You know, it's just
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 30: so awful.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 28: The whole.
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 26: that whole aspect of the darkness of humanity is pretty awful.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 26: But I worked for a woman once. She was an
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 26: older woman, and she told me that she got out
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 26: of a speeding ticket. The cop pulled her over for speeding,
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 26: and what she told the cop was that she's a
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 26: lesbian woman and that some Christian guy with Christian bumper
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 26: stickers on his car was menacing her, and she had
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 26: to flee, and that's why she... It was a total lie.
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 26: She told me it was a total lie. So what
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 26: I'm– and again, I prefaced it by saying I think
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 26: that rape should be punished to the fullest extent of
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 26: the law. But there are so many instances of false
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 26: allegations of rape or sexual abuse, you know. What about
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 26: that punishment, right? I mean, that activity undermines the concept
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 26: of believe all women, right? I mean, you want to
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 26: believe women when they come in and say that they've
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 26: been sexually assaulted. You want it to be taken seriously.
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 26: But there's so many instances of it just being a
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 26: lie to destroy somebody's life. And there doesn't seem to
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 26: be any kind of criminal punishment there. or at least
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 26: not a fitting criminal punishment when a man's family or
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 26: a woman's family is destroyed and the career is destroyed
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 26: or the political career is destroyed or whatever the attack
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 26: of the lie happens to be associated with. I mean,
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 26: what do you think of that aspect of it? Like
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 26: if rape is to be punished to the full extent
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 26: of the law, which I do agree to, what about
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 26: the false accusation of it? Should that also.
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 10: I.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 30: Was just wondering your thoughts on that.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 26: Should that also– as a survivor yourself, how do you
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 26: feel about that when you see some– like let's say
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 26: the Cornell thing. Let's say– I don't know one way
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 26: or the other about it. I do know that there
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 26: have been other cases in colleges where like the whole
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 26: football team was accused of raping a girl. It turned
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 26: out to be a total lie.
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 26: So then when you start to see that sort of
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 26: cried wolf moment, it makes that coming forward, it makes
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 26: that enforcing that law even more difficult for the next
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 26: person that endures it.
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 9: I agree.
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 26: So if the Cornell is just a hypothetical, if that
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 26: Cornell thing turns out to be a total lie– So
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 26: the seven people that are defamed, the seven people that
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 26: are going to lose their scholarships and get ejected.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 30: From the school, and the whole thing, when it turns
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 30: out it's all over, it's not true.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 26: It was just some girl who didn't like that she
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 26: was kicked out of the frat party or whatever the
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 26: reason was. She was mad at her ex-boyfriend or whatever.
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 26: What do you think should happen in that case?
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, it's very complex, Dan. I think that
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 1: we're focusing a lot on... deflection to a certain extent
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: of like where should we appropriately be focusing our attention
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 1: it's i think it's why women in particular or victims
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 1: survivors however you want to label them have a very
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 1: difficult time coming forward and reporting in the first.
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 2: Place when something like this happens.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: Because there's automatic there's automatically a tarnish on there of
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 1: You know, we're not going to believe her.
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 2: We're not going to believe him. What do we— is this
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 2: even real? You know, and I.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: Hate to admit this, but I looked at the Snapchat
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 1: images questioning whether they were even real of this group chat.
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 1: You know, hey, bro, you know, these bro-tato chips, like,
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 1: come on, free blank blank in the room, you know,
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 1: come— Come get it.
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 2: Seven hours. They talked on their frat chat about the same.
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 60: Woman while she was unconscious in the other room. And
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 60: I've like, so I think when you've lived these experiences also,
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 60: you've been like, I had to get a restraining order.
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 2: I was, I was in the judicial system with this
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 2: whole process.
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 1: When I, when you're constantly questioned every every moment along
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: the way um it's it becomes extremely hard to even
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 1: want to come forward and then and it does it
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 1: does make it very difficult to say how do we
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: hold accountability and how do we actually know who's true
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: here but i think what the facts are going to
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: tell you and if you look you know i can
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 1: we can chat like i can send you some stuff.
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 2: After the show, but statistics will show you.
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: That it's disproportionately more so, you know, that the accountability
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: isn't happening with the offenders, with the sexual offenders. And,
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: you know, that's just what's going on. There's no— from the
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: top down, there's no accountability ever. There's no— these guys had
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 1: to write— I think one of them or two of them
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 1: were maybe suspended, maybe put on leave, but the administration
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 1: had them write essays— they had them write essays and, um,
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 1: you know, these poor, these poor guys, you know, were
• 2:28:21
  Speaker 1: afraid of their future. But, um, you know, the fact
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 1: that this woman can't even put her name in the
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 1: court documents because she's afraid of the fallout that will
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 1: come after this is, uh, is a little bit maddening
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: to me like that piece. So we've got to find some.
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 2: Way to be able to dive through this stuff.
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not the only unique, situation like i
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 1: don't think we have to burn everything down can we
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: redesign what isn't working here and take a little closer
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 1: look at the more intricate parts of the systems right
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 1: that maybe need rebooting instead of maybe they're not failing
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 1: us right like i first said maybe they're just.
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know it's just all.
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 1: The bureaucracy all the you know there and there's so
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 1: many layers like there's the Gosh, there's like the advocate piece,
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: the case manager, the crisis coordinator, the therapist.
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 2: Like, it's just broad reaching. So it's a broad discussion.
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 30: You would like to.
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 26: Think that, you know, if that Snapchat or whatever was
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 26: going on, that social media event was going on, people
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 26: would arrive and lay waste to that.
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 2: You'd think.
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 26: You'd think. You'd think, like, somebody would, like, you know,
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 26: carry her off.
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 1: The thing is, though— if it's the culture in which
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 1: we live and it's one of the, the very, it's
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: woven into the very fabric of our existence, then we've
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: got to take a look in the mirror and take
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 1: a closer look at that and say, there's something happening.
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: You know, we're not only like, we should not only
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: teach our boys better, you know, but we should, Also,
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: the good men that are standing up speaking out about
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 1: this stuff also like, hey, come on, let's, you know,
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 1: stand up now. It's your time to stand up and
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: speak up against this. So I thanks for calling in
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 1: on this, Dan. Do we have any other callers? No,
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 1: not yet. I appreciate that. We are navigating some difficult
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 1: topics today.
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 2: We're closing out.
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 1: We only have about 15 minutes left before we fully
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 1: sign out. I did want to also remind everybody that
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 1: the Terry Broder walk is happening October 3rd. There's a
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: little pit stop in my neighborhood, which is really super fun.
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: I'll be doing a perfect chair. And there'll be like
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 1: pink pumpkins.
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 2: And waters and power bars.
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 1: And this thing goes from Old Saybrook to Harkness. And
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 1: these families have been campaigning and championing for so long.
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 1: And so we just want to, we just want to
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: give them a shout out for that.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 2: You know, life is short.
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 1: I've, there've been a few scary moments lately with friends
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 1: of mine, family that have really put things in perspective.
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 2: And so I.
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 1: Want to close back out where I began and just,
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: just maybe think about like, what, what do you want
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: your legacy to be?
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 2: What do you want?
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: You know, like where, where are you with that? Do
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: you guys, do you know the immense power you hold here?
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 1: Do you know how to share it with the world?
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 1: Do you know how to work towards bettering the world?
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 1: I think we need to, I think we need to
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 1: really focus on, On that and building up things that matter,
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 1: finding the architecture for the next chapters of our life, realizing,
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 1: realizing that we're all messy. You know, we're all imperfectly
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 1: messy and brave enough to meet each other here and
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: talk about these things.
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 2: I think we have another call. Let me find out
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 2: who it is. Ah, let's see, let's see, let's see.
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 2: I would love to talk to Cliff. Good morning.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 50: Hey, man, what's up?
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 39: Yeah.
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 49: Yeah.
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 26: Oh, you did already?
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but not that much. Like, more so, yeah,
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: just go ahead. What do you got? What do you got, Cliff?
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 50: Well, my question is, I guess you have liberals that
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 50: are saying, I guess it comes down to this big
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 50: thing between liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. So to me,
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 50: and I'm black, if you didn't guess by now, but nevertheless.
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 26: And I think she was wrong.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 50: She was a devil and she should definitely be charged
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 50: for murder. And I'm speaking on behalf of the children.
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 50: Who does that? You know, and I would also go
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 50: ahead to say, you know, to throw the black card
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 50: in there, that if she was black, no question she
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 50: would be found guilty. So how does a white woman
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 50: kill three children and just get away with it like that?
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 50: Give me your thoughts on it. Is she guilty or
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 50: is she was insane or innocent based on insanity?
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 2: Okay. So the Clancy case is fascinating. Thanks for bringing
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 2: it up.
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 1: And it actually, yeah, it ties perfectly into what we're
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: talking about, I think, because and just as like most
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 1: recent as last night, Kevin Reddington, her lawyer spoke out
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: because a retrial could be happening. He sort of changed
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 1: his tune, which was an interesting thing I found fascinating.
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 1: And I have to believe it has to do with
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: social media and everybody kind of taking these really deep dives,
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 1: TikTok and their takes. And that whole peace cliff is
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 1: by design. Like these things are now becoming more divisive
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 1: and like you have to take sides on the matter
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: at every given chance. And social media has really brought
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 1: that out in cases like this.
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 2: But the Lindsay Clancy.
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 1: Case is extremely fascinating because it does demonstrate it does
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: deal with so many different topics, you know, mental health
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 1: and healthcare and, and, and women's health in particularly in
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 1: postpartum health. And, and, and, you know, this poor woman
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 1: had journal entries crying out, doctor visits, prescription after prescription.
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, but Kevin Reddington was like, where's the, where's
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 1: the evidence that she actually did this?
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 18: This is what he said.
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 1: Just, he just changed his tune. So he's like, I
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 1: don't know where the evidence is. Now, I've heard the
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 1: 911 call, and I don't even know. This poor woman,
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 1: her body temperature was like 84 degrees or something like
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 1: this outside, basically on death's door, gurgling, moaning, not even
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 1: able to talk because she had slits in her throat
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 1: and her esophagus.
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't know how she could have.
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 1: Even said that she did it at that time, medically speaking.
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 1: Like clinically, you know, you're looking at this person who's
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: barely alive and what? They're all of a sudden confessing
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 1: to this? So I think it's just like, let's look
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 1: at every situation a little bit closer here and see
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 1: what really happened. The other thing is that I also
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: find fascinating on a historical front cliff. I was going
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 1: to have my sister on talking about the heart, the
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 1: harp brothers. She just recently published a book about murder
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: on the, in the shadow of the American revolution, these
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 1: two brothers who went on a murdering spree. And one
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: thing in the book that I found most fascinating that
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 1: she highlighted so well was that she really, he, these
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 1: guys relied on women to, to gain access to other
• 2:36:47
  Speaker 1: women and children. And so they would travel with women,
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 1: impregnate them, and establish rapports with these families and then
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 1: murder them. So, you know, these also, these women were complicit.
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 1: They were complicit in these murders as well. So when,
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 1: you know, and there's, I'm sure the judge or someone,
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: you know, with a legal background can maybe talk more
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 1: eloquently and professionally about this.
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 2: I don't have the lingo, but.
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 28: Yeah.
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 52: Yeah.
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 50: A Christian, right? I'm a Christian. I'm an American Christian, okay?
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 50: So we believe in the existence of demons. Could it
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 50: possibly be that she was possessed? Has that come up?
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 20: It has come up.
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: It has come up with Christian... people of Christian faith. And,
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 1: you know, what everybody who has basically been testifying regarding
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 1: this situation, they say that there's, that's not the case.
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 1: She was clinically insane. She went through postpartum psychosis. It's
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 1: a very distinct diagnosis. And then it was only exacerbated
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 1: by the prescription drugs she was on. And if you
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 1: look at those interactions, some of the diagnoses that she had, actually,
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 1: if you gave the prescription drugs to a person with
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 1: these particular diagnoses, it also accelerates a situation like this.
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 1: And then she already had postpartum after her children. And,
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 1: you know, the list goes on. So it was just
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 1: sort of a perfect storm created for an event like
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: this to happen. So that's, I guess, where I'm trying
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 1: to highlight where we should be looking. And then we're
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: going to take one more call. Jim from Lisbon, good morning.
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 39: Good morning.
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 45: Nice talking to you.
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 2: Nice talking to you, Jim.
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 45: You've been covering a lot of subjects. I want to
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 45: bring up something from my personal experience and share it.
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 26: With you all.
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 2: Sure thing. Thank you.
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 45: Yeah, I lived in a communist country for a while.
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 45: Stanford Research Institute, associated with Stanford University, built a laboratory
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 45: in Beijing, China, and they recruited me to head up
• 2:39:10
  Speaker 45: their quality group. So I spent several years there. I've
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 45: got to tell you something about communism. Socialism is communism.
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 45: And here's the warning. It's a one-way road. In the
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 45: United States, we're so used to having our freedoms.
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 39: We can do whatever we want.
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 45: I can travel down to Florida. I can buy a
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 45: house in Ohio or whatever I want to do. In
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 45: a communist country, you can't do those things. So if
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 45: you turn in the direction of communism and we accept
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 45: communism in our country, there's no turning back. You can't
• 2:39:41
  Speaker 45: say like in a year and a half or two years, oh,
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 45: this really stinks. I want to go back to the
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 45: way it was.
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 30: You don't.
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 26: You can't.
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 45: And those of us that are old remember what Berlin
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 45: was like with the Berlin Wall. People were so desperate
• 2:39:55
  Speaker 45: to get out of East Germany. They took a chance.
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 45: They risked their lives to get out. That's how bad
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 45: it is living under communism. So I just want to
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 45: share that with everybody before we start to move in
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 45: that direction of, well, let's try communism, see if it works.
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 45: It doesn't work that way.
• 2:40:11
  Speaker 2: Right. Do you think there's a real threat? Do you
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 2: think that that's where we're headed, Jim?
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 45: I think we're under attack. It's very similar to the
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 45: Russian Revolution where communism took over a country.
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 1: And you think, like, really, when you look at everything
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 1: sort of playing a part, you really think that that's
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 1: where the pendulum is swinging. You don't actually think it's
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 1: maybe a talking point or a narrative that's trying to
• 2:40:37
  Speaker 1: be interwoven into our discussion?
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 2: That's not really a threat?
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 45: A while back, I sent Lee a list, a congressman
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 45: in 1963. It entered into the congressional record of 45
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 45: steps that communists were used to take over our country.
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 45: If you can find those online, see how many of
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 45: those have already been fulfilled, and there's still a few
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 45: more that are very obvious.
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Jim. Thank you so much, everybody,
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 1: for tuning in. We're going to tune out now.
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 5: Goodbye.
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 2: Until next time, I'll see you.
