6:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not too bad at Wednesday temperatures around 34 degrees.
7:02
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're getting just weather this week through the weekend.
7:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Just a smidge above normal.
7:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll get work to the 18th.
7:11
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably 32 or three's normal by now, but some of these days is up 36.
7:17
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just a smidge above, but there is a little melting going on.
7:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's all you can hope for.
7:22
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, be very careful of falling ice this time of year.
7:26
[SPEAKER_02]: There's still a lot of it up there.
7:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I say that.
7:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think by saying it, we've saved lives this week.
7:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope we have.
7:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Dash Wednesday also the beginning of Lent a period of sacrifice of 40 days leading up to Easter.
7:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't see anyone with ashes on their forehead this morning.
7:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I know they still do that, but these days, you know, in our secular society, and after me, I think if I came into a station here with ashes on my forehead,
7:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you'd get made fun of, or somebody would say, well, clean your face off or something like that.
8:03
[SPEAKER_02]: So, well, I didn't, I didn't, I'm not a church go or anyway, consider myself a reverent person but not a church go or, um, I guess the big thing in the news, or it will be, it'll probably be in the Daily Mail, probably get on box or CNN,
8:25
[SPEAKER_02]: if they find out about it and that city council voting three to two last night not to put the Irish flag up for St. Patrick's weekend.
8:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Always done before but you know the Irish festival water town goes green was held in water town now it's held in Clayton.
8:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Whether that was a factor in the other factor I don't know you're not supposed to say it but it was resistance to other flags particularly the pride flag.
8:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And having to put that up every year, this is going to certainly annoy some people locally, particularly media outlets.
9:07
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm of the opinion, and it was Councilman Derabrand, it was the deciding vote.
9:12
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, of course, Kim Bull wanted to put the flag up.
9:16
[SPEAKER_02]: You'd put a flag up for anything.
9:19
[SPEAKER_02]: He'd put a Hamas flag up if they ask anything can go up.
9:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Councilman Osborne, of course, the mayor and Councilman show and wrote it no, this is a shocker, and this kind of sends a shiver up the spine on the third floor, because they're not used to seeing up any Council members who say no.
9:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's hope that Councilman Garrett rent maintains that rigid spine through the budget talks coming up.
9:49
[SPEAKER_02]: The Democrat Socialist Mayor of New York City says the fall, but he doesn't allow him to tax rich people more.
9:56
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll have to raise property taxes by how much?
9:58
[SPEAKER_02]: 9.5%.
10:03
[SPEAKER_02]: We'd be happy with that here.
10:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
10:08
[SPEAKER_02]: We usually get a first take at 20% or the guy next door was saying 30.
10:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
10:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So as a mayor, my mdami is more fiscally conservative than our water town city council.
10:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that the case?
10:27
[SPEAKER_02]: And 9.5%.
10:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you something right now.
10:32
[SPEAKER_02]: If the official proposed budget came out, it was 9.5.
10:35
[SPEAKER_02]: We'd have people say, oh, thank you.
10:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much.
10:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, thank you for doing it.
10:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what's going to happen in New York City.
10:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Really comes down to the legislature, I'll give them what he wants, but the governor, whether she'll sign bills, raising taxes on millionaires and things like that.
10:59
[SPEAKER_02]: A good millionaire doesn't pay much in taxes anyway.
11:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
11:04
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'll call her out, or one of the Democrats doing.
11:07
[SPEAKER_02]: They've introduced a bill to legalized prostitution.
11:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So we do that here in New York, what's the harm?
11:15
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a victimless crime.
11:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that what they say?
11:21
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't even have any so-called prostitutes here in Watertown.
11:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I'll pass that in Colorado, or whether we will in New York.
11:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Well there's a poll on the Irish flag thing, two thirds of city residents according to a newscrunky poll, want the Irish flag up.
11:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
11:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.
11:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And the best Western downtown.
11:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Closed.
11:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Some kind of water break in there.
12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: now we don't have a even a hotel downtown they're trying to renovate it into a sparks by hilton that's a good brand to have but now it's closed yep well it's something there we go good afternoon you're on the air hey chef i really glad that the council voted no for the flag uh... request
12:32
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I don't like it that all the other flags had to be casualties in the controversy.
12:39
[SPEAKER_08]: But that's just where we're at, and I think the rate decision was made.
12:43
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, this is what I was hoping was going to happen, and it did.
12:48
[SPEAKER_08]: And I think now the council should just pass a resolution that they're not going to accept any flag requests.
12:55
[SPEAKER_08]: So this will stop the doctor from putting it in another request.
12:59
[SPEAKER_08]: Because that's probably who's going to put up a request now is a flag request.
13:04
[SPEAKER_08]: The doctor's probably going to be the one.
13:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, obviously, the all sorts of groups, not just the bright flag, but the Columbus Day of Italian flag, there's the June teens flag, they'll want to put that up.
13:20
[SPEAKER_02]: There's the Israeli flag, German flag, they all get requests.
13:30
[SPEAKER_08]: say no they had to say no to them all and just the latest you know we had one bad apple ruined a bunch and it's all I got to go well is there a new gang of three with shown the mayor and counseling their brand I think just like you said on your blog the three amigos the three amigos yeah that's what we'll call them yeah anyway I'm glad that it was
14:00
[SPEAKER_08]: I thought it was a couple of years ago, they've decided, but the doctor threw a scheme in there, taking a power away from the mayor, and that scheme, well, that was definitely wrong.
14:09
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the mayor, you know, why can't we have a mayor who can do something?
14:14
[SPEAKER_02]: What is this thing we have in water town or you can't let the elected do that?
14:19
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to let a pointed person do that.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It should end.
14:25
[SPEAKER_08]: Well it's a shame and maybe people will know not to vote for the back next year, but that's
14:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's running for mayor.
14:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I have no knowledge of that, it's just the statement he's made at council meetings.
14:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And he likely views this as a nice political plus.
14:45
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I stock up for the Irish.
14:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Bye, bye, y'all.
14:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Aaron, go brah.
14:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever.
14:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever, let's see, text messages coming in.
15:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, all done by design, probably only needs a 9% increase, so they start out at 30 and everyone thinks they got a great deal.
15:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that maybe what happened, but it'd be a shame if the proposed increase for water town came in above the proposed increase from Mayor Momsdami, although a lot of people up here don't know who Mayor Momsdami is, I was amazed.
15:25
[SPEAKER_02]: The other day, I was, I don't know, I was talking about, maybe she was on TV or something.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Sidney Sweeney, the actress and model does the Blue Jean Edge.
15:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm surprised, a number of males, especially, don't know who he is.
15:38
[SPEAKER_02]: She is.
15:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's kind of weird.
15:42
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a different talent.
15:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see, three, one, five, seven, five, five, throw a 40 if you want to call in.
15:55
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?
15:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Is the city anti-Iros?
15:58
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there was a time in American history when the Iros were moving in during the potato famine and they used to call them to chant the Iros and all of that and they used to say the drunks and everything.
16:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this a vestige of that?
16:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Or is it a vote of principle?
16:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Or is it a vote that says you move your first of a lot of talent?
16:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Take this.
16:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
16:23
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's I think the voters motivated by the whole we don't want all these other flags up but after noon or on the air that's just a good topic you have to take season all over the place this year's you know federal would have you state the local so it's a big issue uh... it is tax filing i'd like to talk about a very very serious issue in my opinion and a growing a growing serious issue
16:53
[SPEAKER_06]: and Trump's threats.
16:54
[SPEAKER_06]: As you know, he canceled the JCPOA that joined Trump's plan of action for the nuclear program for Iran in 2015.
17:03
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a negotiated by Obama, the UK, France, China.
17:09
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
17:10
[SPEAKER_02]: You're a man.
17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, we know.
17:12
[SPEAKER_06]: He talks about 2018 and now he wants to go deal or, here's the or, or he's going to attack Iran.
17:20
[SPEAKER_06]: And here we go, heading for another 20-year Middle East War that was going to be, it's going to be, it would be worse than Afghanistan in Iraq.
17:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of agree with you, Dan.
17:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to see it happen either.
17:34
[SPEAKER_06]: Why, why is she doing this to show his power or his influence as a quote, international leader of some sort, like he did in Venezuela, and I've talked about Cuba and, you know,
17:45
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a Sanity Jeff.
17:48
[SPEAKER_06]: It really is.
17:48
[SPEAKER_06]: I hate to say that.
17:49
[SPEAKER_06]: I know it sounds like I'm, you know, one-sided guy, but I'm not a one-sided guy.
17:53
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm a logical in the middle.
17:56
[SPEAKER_06]: But what we need is that it's insane.
17:59
[SPEAKER_02]: With foreign policy, we need informed foreign policy experts like AOC.
18:08
[SPEAKER_06]: with cough and cushion role they're making deals now and that guy's a call just said I didn't know where I was talking about.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, period.

22:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Anthony Constantino is.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's built real businesses, created real jobs, and he knows what it takes to grow an economy from the ground up.

22:37

25:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Lent?
25:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Not me.
25:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Bishop.
25:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Terry LaValle of the Diocese of Ogdensburg.
25:18
[SPEAKER_02]: And his eminent says our leaders governed with chaos and fear rather than respect for law and human dignity.
25:24
[SPEAKER_02]: The economy freightens us as price is rise, AI comes for our job and human connections, addictions run rampant while we create more ways to harm ourselves, local hospitals struggle to pay staff and provide services, the news leads us to the brink of disc darkness and many fear that lent and the focus on repentance adds to the despair.
25:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But Lance is not about despair, the Bishop says, as winter-dolledrums lead the spring-lent leads us to Easter joy and prepares us for Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem for the last supper, crucifixion and resurrection.
26:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Reporation is not a popular word these days.
26:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Reporation is making immense for a wrong and offense.
26:09
[SPEAKER_02]: A sin.
26:10
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not an attempt to buy forgiveness, but rather an attempt to repair a broken situation
26:16
[SPEAKER_02]: A special dinner for a spouse may help correct previous ind attentiveness.
26:21
[SPEAKER_02]: We can offer reparation for sin, offenses against God for our sins and the sins of all.
26:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Offering reparation can enhance the let-and-try factor of prayer, fasting, and arms giving.
26:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and it goes on.
26:37
[SPEAKER_02]: He goes on to say, this land, I pray you combat the avalanche of despair by opening your eyes and heart to the millions and millions of unreported good news stories that happen at every moment of every day.
26:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I encourage you to create or give witness to moments of service and offer them to the Lord and reparation for our sin and brokenness in your life and in the lives surrounding you.
27:01
[SPEAKER_02]: May your 2026 lent help you and counter our Lord a new and prepare your heart for the message and joy of Easter.
27:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's from his eminence, is eminence in my word, or excellent, eminence, I think.
27:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And Terry LaValle, Bishop of Agentsburg.
27:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Now those things don't normally get red or printed anywhere, then don't get reported on by the mainstream media.
27:27
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
27:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Not maybe this year.
27:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, I don't know what he says, and there's kind of liberal sound, isn't it?
27:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think those kind of people are supposed to be.
27:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
27:45
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not supposed to be round them up and ship them out of that, it's not what you should be saying if you're a ship or a poper, that's for the politicians.
27:55
[SPEAKER_02]: All righty, uh, well,
27:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Bishop for sending us that.
27:59
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate it.
28:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Good to hear from you.
28:01
[SPEAKER_02]: We haven't heard it.
28:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, my senior McCarthy was on the radio.
28:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Turn your radio on.
28:10
[SPEAKER_02]: All of that.
28:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was with the days.
28:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Those were the days of local radio.
28:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
28:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, not too much else going on here.
28:28
[SPEAKER_02]: not putting the Irish flag up.
28:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you got to look at the comments on news junkie.
28:36
[SPEAKER_02]: We can get that up, we will.
28:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not coming up, but anyway, what are your feelings on it?
28:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Good, bad, don't you care?
28:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, to most people, it doesn't mean anything.
28:50
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not down there when it's being raised, but there is symbolism.
28:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But maybe there's other ways you can do that.
29:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
29:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I just think if you're going to display the US flag, the New York flag and the city flag.
29:07
[SPEAKER_02]: We got three polls.
29:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I should be an item.
29:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, I'm not in favor of that POW thing.
29:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Not that I don't like POWs.
29:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Seeing reason for that to be up there either.
29:21
[SPEAKER_02]: But anything you want to put on your property, do it.
29:27
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, the public's square, if you will, the public place like that isn't, it's not there for political statements.
29:36
[SPEAKER_02]: You can go there and demonstrate, wave at Irish flags, if you want.
29:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's just my feeling, out of a maybe you have different feelings, I don't know.
29:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really surprised, I thought,
29:57
[SPEAKER_02]: y'all we said she's related to the flins were there i wish of course ben shown i don't know what he's related to what they want against their personal uh... beliefs and interest in voted against the flag going up and it was a tough vote now in the uh... pride flag comes up and it will that resolution will just magically appear on the agenda
30:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the June 10th when it revote against that, you know what you are.
30:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's one event this year, I think we should.
30:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought the council would pass it.
30:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I was surprised.
30:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm not always right.
30:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes I'm wrong.
30:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see, there was another thing I wanted to look up here.
30:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
31:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Should there be a flag up and there are commemorative ones out this year for the semi-quinn centennial?
31:11
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know what that is, the semi-quinn centennial?
31:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course you don't, there's nobody's talking about that.
31:23
[SPEAKER_09]: you think there would be some but what are the schools doing semi-quid and centennial i'm in a teacher's even know what that word means but i could do it on the air they're almost there yeah you know i don't mind i'm not flying a flag everybody got a uh... sort of mission and lots of sorts of attention if you've everybody wanted a flag with a flag you'd have to raise
31:52
[SPEAKER_09]: are good to flags every other day.
31:54
[SPEAKER_09]: OK, I don't take any of that to it.
31:57
[SPEAKER_09]: But anyway, I thought I was mostly iris, but my new step is a heritage research thing.
32:04
[SPEAKER_09]: And it turns out I'm mostly well-suited iris, but that's a proud country, too.
32:10
[SPEAKER_09]: And we also see only country that England didn't take over by force.
32:16
[SPEAKER_09]: They sort of melt it in.
32:18
[SPEAKER_09]: And we also must be important,
32:22
[SPEAKER_09]: The Prince of Wales and the Prince has a Wales, because Wales must be a real one country too, so what?
32:29
[SPEAKER_02]: You remember that drinking game?
32:30
[SPEAKER_09]: I would raise a rope flat, too.
32:32
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a drinking game back in the 70s called Wales Tales.
32:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember that?
32:38
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't remember that.
32:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
32:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if my old friend Jerry Hudson from Philadelphia is still around, but he was somebody who kind of taught us how to play that.
32:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, Wales Tales.
32:51
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, what is where else else?
32:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just one of those new whale stales, the prints of whales, the number is, I don't know, it's something, man.
33:00
[SPEAKER_09]: What's like a game or something?
33:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a drinking game, yeah.
33:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there's probably art allowed.
33:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's back when a drinking age was 18, and people were having fun, and it was a different world.
33:12
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it was about your age.
33:13
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, yeah.
33:14
[SPEAKER_09]: My drinking age.
33:15
[SPEAKER_09]: I wanted to go buy one time, and they go, you got to eat.
33:19
[SPEAKER_09]: as know I'm a team and we get out here as it not I mean I'm over 18 and we've had the 21 I said well I forgot what I was 18 and we're good to donate so as well nowadays you know I was talking to some of the other day was quite an older gentleman 70 years 75 is the way to prove my I had to show my idea the other day yeah of course you did because we've created a world with government oversight I think I was going to check out
33:49
[SPEAKER_09]: She's not 21, they didn't grant father as he was 18 or when he turned 21 to cut your off.
33:56
[SPEAKER_09]: So you were legal for a little while, if you were between 18 and 21, and they didn't grant father that.
34:03
[SPEAKER_09]: So if you were 18 and you were legal, when that's 21, when they came to 21, you were technically cut off.
34:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was a lot of silliness, that was your magic and sads and all those people.
34:18
[SPEAKER_02]: And Reagan had a lot to do.
34:20
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a funny story where now I go to this convenience store and I got to have IT.
34:26
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm 67 years old.
34:28
[SPEAKER_09]: When I was 6 years old, I could go to the store and get really sick of that for my parents without any IT.
34:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Those were the days.
34:35
[SPEAKER_09]: And now that I'm 60, I need IT.
34:38
[SPEAKER_09]: When I was 6, I didn't need IT.
34:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the reason is, is because we've, with all of this surveillance state and stings and, you know, got your coffee stuff, you stuff, you know, everybody's so afraid of that, they tell a clerk, we don't want you judging whether someone's 20 or 30.
34:56
[SPEAKER_02]: We want you to just prove everybody, and that way, if you don't, if you don't prove for 60 year old, that's grounds for fire.
35:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it discriminates against some people.
35:08
[SPEAKER_09]: Somebody's yelling out to read my grandchild.
35:10
[SPEAKER_09]: It's proof in me when the funny thing is.
35:14
[SPEAKER_09]: When I was six years old, I didn't want to have a good day with you.
35:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
35:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Funny thing is, it's the Democrats who wanted on mostly all of these laws about it.
35:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to be 21 and you got to prove when you got to do this and they're out coffin and stuff and staying in and whatever they're doing and yet they say, well, we don't want to have to prove anything to vote.
35:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's discrimination to ask for ID because some people can't get it because of too stupid.
35:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
35:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't know.
35:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it when they say they were criticizing the stuff in Minneapolis, which I don't think was entirely right either, but they're asking for your papers.
35:54
[SPEAKER_02]: When we do that every day, you have to show a card?
35:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
36:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
36:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember back in, oh god, it's the 70s at chase ec, we were in the audio visual of the part of volunteers and there are students, and they made these ideas for social services that used a Polaroid ID maker.
36:19
[SPEAKER_02]: In a way, or you put the pack of film in, it was a big box and had a flash on it, and it lends and you point the aiming light at the person sitting there, and then they give you a card,
36:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And the card had their information typed on it and a square where the picture is going to go, you slid that in and it simultaneously, when you flashed it, took a picture of the card and the person and what you got was an image.
36:43
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like a, it was an ID card.
36:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And easily, change could just type up a new card with a different agent.
36:51
[SPEAKER_02]: My God, we were doing that.
36:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Imagine if you did that today, there'd be grand jury indictments and all of that.
36:58
[SPEAKER_02]: There'd be much said, much said.
37:01
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know how they make those kind of IDs anymore.
37:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure that Polaroid ID camera's long gone.
37:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, ready, 755-1240 or phone number, if you'd like to get on the air, talk for free for free, I'm telling you.
37:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, free.
37:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a great thing.
37:31
[SPEAKER_02]: somewhere a picture or it's on seven news picture that shows the Irish flag on the same poll as state flag but above it well i don't know unless you have to be only to accept this supremacy of the state too so i don't know what you should do i agree with what council did last night i know some people are kind of like it yeah but
38:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And probably the Irish flag is one of the least harmful of them, but a lot of people don't like the other ones.
38:10
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's look for calls.
38:12
[SPEAKER_02]: We need them.
38:14
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the angry man say about it?
38:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought he'd have an opinion.
38:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
38:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And what's our neighbor Mr. B there?
38:24
[SPEAKER_02]: What's he think he was at the council meeting last night?
38:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, says we're going to have a 30% tax increase.
38:30
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to move to New York City because my down he wants to raise it only 9.5% that's bad enough, but we're going to get a bigger one up here from our city council.
38:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, hmm, just a thought, I don't know.
38:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, let me see if we can't get a
38:55
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll go back to the news junkie.
38:57
[SPEAKER_02]: See what's going on.
39:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Drivers are urged to avoid your 12th South of Booneville.
39:06
[SPEAKER_02]: You have that church that blew up yesterday was that something or what?
39:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
39:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Good afternoon here on the air.
39:15
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, mayor.
39:15
[SPEAKER_10]: Are they holding it to stay off the building again?
39:19
[SPEAKER_02]: What the?
39:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, that moved down to Clayton last year.
39:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll be a Clayton again, is sure.
39:25
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I'm just wondering if it came back to Watertown when they supposed to had Lord the prices back.
39:31
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's still in Clayton.
39:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And you think that was part of the decision?
39:38
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it could be.
39:40
[SPEAKER_10]: It could be.
39:41
[SPEAKER_10]: I can't say for sure, but you know, if they're not in Watertown and put their flag up down Clayton, I guess.
39:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
39:48
[SPEAKER_10]: So, all right, Mayor.
39:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
39:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Jeff, I got a question for you.
39:55
[SPEAKER_04]: I haven't been following this little bit, so I know that you're behind me, ball, but so they turned down the Irish flag, correct?
40:02
[SPEAKER_32]: Correct.
40:03
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
40:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Did they turn down all flags or what?
40:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, remember a couple of three years ago, the council adapted a policy where I think the mayor was going to decide or something.
40:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they don't want to an elected official deciding.
40:18
[SPEAKER_02]: So they said,
40:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Any request have to go to the city manager, and he will put on the agenda Resolutions for counsel to consider so now it's at hot.
40:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Every I guess every flag is different somebody will request the pride flag I hope they do and then they'll have to vote on that and then somebody will request the Some other flag And I guess if they go turn down the orange flag In my mind they should turn this down all of them
40:50
[SPEAKER_04]: If they don't turn down all of them, I won't be watching them because if they put the prey play God, I'm not the Irish prey play, I got a problem with that.
41:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Why is that?
41:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Why is that?
41:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Why is that?
41:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I'm Irish, why can't they play my play, but they can play their prey play, that doesn't make sense.
41:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, many of them are the same people.
41:22
[SPEAKER_02]: There's many people in the pride community who are Irish.
41:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but why did they get their flag flowing?
41:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Somebody else does that.
41:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Why?
41:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you think that is?
41:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what we're going to have to wait and see is, does anyone bring a resolution before Council to authorize that?
41:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Because,
41:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean any any member can request a resolution be drawn so I guess we'd have to see if Mr. Dr. Kim Bull or Mr. Osborn wants to ask for it because otherwise who's going to put it on the agenda?
42:01
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know is there going to be a a request made to put it on the agenda by a council member.
42:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
42:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Well I just got a problem with it.
42:12
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought the other ones voted.
42:14
[SPEAKER_02]: that down because they would both down all the flag and that's what I think should happen either well as I understand it if these other resolutions are introduced they're going to have to vote on them individually pride flag uh... semi-sesco centennial whatever it is uh... juneteenth Columbus day all of that stuff right now be watching that episode because
42:41
[SPEAKER_04]: to me that goes a long way that says something about somebody when they can't respect somebody else's place but they want to well this is kind of like the kind of like in some ways the people who wanted to tear it down statues of Christopher Columbus well that's why i'm saying right i'll be watching that because they i bought against those people till so i'm not i'm not in favor of
43:08
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... uh... of them uh... pushing their own agenda about their own leg scenario and and but he had to be believed that the mayor with all down the hours flag and she's not going to vote down all the rest of them same thing with i guess i shown that voted now and uh... jilly brand yeah well i think what will happen is somebody will want to make a point one of the other two council members and help put a resolution forward
43:37
[SPEAKER_04]: or ask one to be drawn I don't know who else you know that's not really the job of the city manager to be drawing up resolutions of that nature without a request but maybe he will six me off on it to me that's it's a scenario that i think it's uh... talks about what was in their heart to depend on what they're voting for certain things that are still in
44:05
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, thank you.
44:06
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, my name.
44:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't think this story ends with last night's meeting.
44:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I think somebody's going to try to make a point here and pick a fight over it.
44:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And it probably the, you know, I mean, there's a poll on news junky that shows a little over 60% of the people want the others flag up.
44:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I don't know if we could do a plebiscite like that on every flag, but,
44:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we could, and maybe that's how it should be decided.
44:35
[SPEAKER_02]: A new junkie pole, uh-huh?
44:39
[SPEAKER_02]: The great idea, wouldn't it?
44:42
[SPEAKER_02]: The great idea.
44:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't know.
44:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what else there is, but I do think I do think that the issue will linger.
44:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven, five, five for all 40, the phone number.
44:56
[SPEAKER_07]: Good afternoon, you're on the air.
45:00
[SPEAKER_07]: I have some comments on the tax situation water-transfacing and frankly, probably every government in the municipal government up in the North country.
45:10
[SPEAKER_07]: According to the expenses of typically any place that's a government body centered on people costs.
45:21
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
45:21
[SPEAKER_07]: So 30% is a big number, 9% big number, but until our representatives
45:29
[SPEAKER_07]: take it upon themselves, start laying off people.
45:31
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it's not, uh, it's not, uh, it's not the, uh, big thing that, um, everybody wants to hear, but that's one way we need to go.
45:40
[SPEAKER_07]: And then, secondly, I read on the great interest, uh, near my mom down, he's statement this morning about $25, $44 billion.
45:49
[SPEAKER_07]: That was it, despite being funded by about $2 or $3 million by our
45:58
[SPEAKER_07]: He says the richest people are the ones that can afford it so they should pay.
46:02
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that's a very interesting situation but what happens when businesses move out in New York?
46:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we can, because we even have a millionaire tax here in the city, because I don't know if there's any millionaires.
46:16
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, it doesn't matter.
46:17
[SPEAKER_07]: He segregated out the top income and put it on them.
46:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, it's also been proposed that maybe the people with the high assessments are living on nicer streets will pay a little more.
46:31
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah, that's why my mom don't he's going to sweep the country.
46:35
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think, and I afraid that we'll start to see that more and more.
46:39
[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm just kidding about putting the tax on the highest tax barriers.
46:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
46:43
[SPEAKER_07]: If you water sound, but it just doesn't work.
46:45
[SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't balance out every action has a reaction.
46:50
[SPEAKER_07]: This action might cover him for one year.
46:53
[SPEAKER_07]: But the reaction is going to be decimating to the city of New York in the New York state.
46:57
[SPEAKER_07]: My opinion.
46:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
46:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds good.

50:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And we just said, it's the temperature on your phone really accurate.
50:53
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why there was one there.
50:54
[SPEAKER_02]: 33 it says.
50:55
[SPEAKER_02]: That's about our high for the day, yeah, that's gonna be it.
50:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And tonight down to 23 tomorrow, 38, 39 on Friday, little meltoge going on there, 34 on Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
51:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Little cooler Tuesday than a little warmer again, we have temperatures that are looking to be very normal for this time of year.
51:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Second half of February.
51:22
[SPEAKER_02]: See the real,
51:26
[SPEAKER_02]: The real increase in temperature comes from March to April is about a 15-degree spread as spring rolls in.
51:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, from February, average high is 31 to March, average high is around 39.
51:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're getting out of winter, yes, but
51:46
[SPEAKER_02]: it's really that march to April time frame with a big the big hike occurs and we're not going to get rid of this snow until April at these at these temperatures and less we happen to get something really warm nice to get one of those days wouldn't it gets up to like fifty five or something you well let's see what we got here uh... teacher put on leave after questioning a student about her sexuality
52:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Why can't you do that?
52:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
52:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Lawmakers want to rein in biometric technology and supermarkets.
52:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that where they look at and they know what you eat?
52:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
52:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's something.
52:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll read about this biome.
52:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what biome metrics is.
52:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I guess they scan your face and charge your extra if you're a certain person.
52:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.
52:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't seem right.
53:02
[SPEAKER_02]: But you know, they even make now.
53:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you're familiar with those cat litter boxes, the ones that they kind of rotate and dump the stuff into a tray and it's a little easier to manage.
53:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And you empty the tray every three days or something.
53:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of those, whether it's litter robot or some of the up, the priceier ones, have face recognition technology.
53:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you have multiple cats, you can keep track of when each cat went to the bathroom or the box.
53:36
[SPEAKER_02]: So face recognition is, I don't know how you get your cat's face registered.
53:47
[SPEAKER_02]: AI and everything.
53:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know if they're using the face record or biometrics in a grocery market and then if they find out if they're a lot to die, they charge you more, is that how it works?
54:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, anyway, I gotta go find a new supermarket soon, where should I go?
54:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I was went to Grand Union, they might have, they still have they're going out of business sale.
54:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And when I went last week, there was still a lot of stuff there in certain categories.
54:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Household items, toiletries, pet foods, other pet items, medical home medicine box stuff, pretty good amount of frozen food, a lot of canned grids, pasta spaghetti sauce, all of that.
54:34
[SPEAKER_02]: There were a lot of things there, no meat, no dairy, no purters, none of that.
54:40
[SPEAKER_02]: what they're doing is consolidating the products into the certain shelves and coolers.
54:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So, good opportunity for bargains there, no doubt about it, but I'm going to have to find a new supermarket.
54:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Should I go to the, there's one over on that plaza on state street, don't know too much about it.
55:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And then there's the pigly wiggly, but then you're in there with council members and
55:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I always get a kick out of people who live in the nicest part of the town, so I don't go there.
55:16
[SPEAKER_02]: It's too expensive.
55:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus.
55:19
[SPEAKER_02]: You should be going there.
55:22
[SPEAKER_02]: That's... Um... Then what else?
55:27
[SPEAKER_02]: It's price trapper.
55:28
[SPEAKER_02]: That's nice.
55:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And in Hanifords.
55:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't want to go out in Arsenal Street.
55:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I think next time I go to the supermarket, I may very well go.
55:38
[SPEAKER_02]: to pickly wiggly I might make one more trip through grand union just to see if there's any really good bargains left at the end of the month but generally speaking after that i think i'll go to the pickly wiggly hang out with the uh... the laudy dies yeah but after dinner on the air good afternoon mayor are you doing i just one couple
56:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing good.
56:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing very well.
56:04
[SPEAKER_03]: A couple of things on the weather, this this temperature is what you call a nice slow thought, like I say for an example.
56:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in rough of my love swing.
56:16
[SPEAKER_03]: I had to put a snow.
56:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I have maybe less than a foot because a lot of people have flooded tellers.
56:25
[SPEAKER_03]: The fire department has to come pump them out everything like that when it goes kind of easy settled down It's that's good.
56:33
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I think it is.
56:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I take another five degrees, so Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, but it you know, it's gonna come back But it's a nice soft when I had tree foot out here like where my plowman came
56:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And this hot came down and he picked up the rabbit.
56:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: I saw him pick him up.
57:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, I had a thing with my moose out back.
57:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess I was ice broke off one of the antlers.
57:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the DEC had come by or something.
57:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:20

57:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, are they making it into stewards?
57:42

[SPEAKER_02]: I think the one up in the bay, the replacing it with a stewards, there used to be a supermarket in the bay after you went through the, uh, welcome to the bay sign, it was on the left, but I think that's a dollar store now.
58:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I don't get it that way very often, but, uh, that's what I think, I don't know, I could be wrong.
58:27
[SPEAKER_02]: The only reason to grow up there is that dark island liquor place, if you know, get a bottle of hooch.
58:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, they play music in the kegs that the hooch has made in or whatever they do to it to steal it or whatever that's amazing.
58:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Supposed to make it taste better.
58:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
58:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, well, that's what's going on around the area.
58:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And I will just have to check in with it tomorrow.
59:00

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, together on that is a used to be.
59:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But on the other hand, it hasn't been in the news cycle very long either.

[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see if you have any comments tomorrow.
59:17
[SPEAKER_02]: On flags in front of city.
