21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Hundreds of community foundation scholarships are available to help students like me pursue their educational goals.
21:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Applying it's easy and free through convenient single online application.
21:25
[SPEAKER_01]: High school seniors in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties who plan to attend an accredited college, vocational or trade school should complete their applications by Sunday March 15th, 2026 at NNYCF.org.
21:50
[SPEAKER_28]: Democrats and Hollywood elites are pouring money into New York's 21st Congressional District.
21:54
[SPEAKER_28]: Why?
21:55
[SPEAKER_28]: Because they want control.
21:56
[SPEAKER_28]: But Anthony Constantino, a true Trump Republican, is focused on something different.
22:01
[SPEAKER_28]: The real needs of the North Country.
22:02
[SPEAKER_28]: For Watertown and Fort Drum, that means protecting federal defense spending and the job supporting thousands of military families.
22:09
[SPEAKER_28]: In Platsburg, it means stronger border staffing to reduce customs delays and protect trade.
22:17
[SPEAKER_28]: Protecting our land while supporting logging, tourism, and local jobs.
22:21
[SPEAKER_28]: From Lewis and St. Lawrence counties to O'Night Accounty, Anthony will stand with dairy farmers, protect Medicare reimbursement, and fight for local health care providers.
22:28
[SPEAKER_28]: And in Glenn's Falls, Constantineo will work hard for downtown revitalization funding.
22:33
[SPEAKER_28]: While Democrats push their national agenda, Anthony Constantino is focused on the real issues that matter here.
22:39
[SPEAKER_28]: He's funding his own campaign, no special interests, and he'll fight for you in Congress.
22:43
[SPEAKER_28]: The Democrats want Trump out.
22:46
[SPEAKER_24]: I'm Anthony Konstantino and I approve this message.
22:48
[SPEAKER_24]: Hade for by Konstantino for Congress.
22:50
[SPEAKER_22]: Who calls you back when you really need a roof or roof repair?
22:53
[SPEAKER_22]: Herring is contracting.
22:54
[SPEAKER_22]: If the rain is done damage to your roof recently, give herring is a cold now at 315-7-829-1929.
23:00
[SPEAKER_22]: Wet roof tops giving you problems.
23:02
[SPEAKER_22]: Call herring is now the roof people who always call you back.
23:06
[SPEAKER_10]: Around the corner, around the continent, around the clock.
23:09
[SPEAKER_10]: This is the news in talk authority.
23:12
[SPEAKER_10]: AM-1240.
23:14
[SPEAKER_10]: W-A-T-N.
23:15
[SPEAKER_21]: We're back on the hotline.
23:16
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm Jeff Graham.
23:17
[SPEAKER_21]: You know for 12 years or so, we've been fortunate to have at least to find it.
23:22
[SPEAKER_21]: Technically not our congressman, member of Congress in Watertown, now since the district's moved a little bit of Claudia Tenney, but certainly always considered us in 2014, you know, to be our North Country congressperson.
23:38
[SPEAKER_21]: And to start to see or go, we're
23:43
[SPEAKER_21]: It looks like it doesn't look to you like to see it's going to end up being represented by a Democrat now.
23:48
[SPEAKER_21]: I mean, if you look at the national trend, you know, whatever, and the historic trend for midterm elections, you know, two years after a president gets elected, and you're like at the bare two vote majority that Republicans have in the House.
24:08
[SPEAKER_21]: It would just seem to me that hacking Jeffries will be the new speaker, come January 6th, whatever it is.
24:16
[SPEAKER_21]: And this seat up here that represents most of the North Country will flip by Kenny will probably keep hers.
24:27
[SPEAKER_21]: But much of the North Country, as we know, it would then be represented by a Democrat, as it was when Bill Owens was in there.
24:35
[SPEAKER_21]: and uh... we assume that this black gender being wins a democratic primary that's not certain there are two of the people who say they're going to compete one of whom is a abernie bro and has quite a bit of support over on the east end of the district but uh... i don't know who i'd there are republicans here in jaffers and cali in that little sliver of the district that's in the twenty first i haven't heard anybody will be expressed in opinion there was that really lame endorsement from the county republican committee
25:06
[SPEAKER_21]: But it looked like a, I don't know, it looked like they were being held hostage or something.
25:14
[SPEAKER_21]: You know, you have to endorse them.
25:15
[SPEAKER_21]: He's a establishment candidate.
25:17
[SPEAKER_21]: He's an assemblyman, don't you know, and a retired Colonel, a Lieutenant Colonel.
25:23
[SPEAKER_21]: Is there a difference?
25:24
[SPEAKER_21]: I don't know.
25:25
[SPEAKER_21]: But I haven't heard anything, Constantino.
25:29
[SPEAKER_21]: I mean, he's got a lot of commercials.
25:37
[SPEAKER_21]: I don't know, is there going to be a debate, a debate?
25:42
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm sure Spectrum will want one, whatever it is, public television up in the eastern part of the district, and maybe even some of the central New York media, because the district does go near Utica and Rome, and maybe the water town media, I don't know, if they're up to them to ask, maybe they'll want to debate too, but I'm sure Spectrum will want one.
26:07
[SPEAKER_21]: But have to do it.
26:08
[SPEAKER_21]: Oh, but have to do it on the air.
26:12
[SPEAKER_20]: How you doing?
26:13
[SPEAKER_21]: Good.
26:13
[SPEAKER_21]: What's up?
26:15
[SPEAKER_20]: Oh, not much.
26:16
[SPEAKER_20]: Just listening to you talk about politics.
26:19
[SPEAKER_21]: No, that's what I do.
26:20
[SPEAKER_20]: That's right.
26:21
[SPEAKER_20]: Oh, that's all right.
26:22
[SPEAKER_20]: I like it.
26:23
[SPEAKER_20]: Um, I think, uh, I think you're right.
26:27
[SPEAKER_20]: I think, no, I think it's going back to the Democrats up here.
26:31
[SPEAKER_14]: Mm-hmm.
26:32
[SPEAKER_20]: I really do.
26:33
[SPEAKER_20]: Um, the last time that in the series, like this was when
26:36
[SPEAKER_20]: he just goes about a head of special action up here they had the social action and then i that's the first time and the last time i voted for bill one's back down it was a protestful well a lot of people did i voted for dog hospital and that year but uh... for some of the i met dog off i met dog off in that year actually but the reason why i did it basically was i it was a protestful night i'll never do it again but
27:05
[SPEAKER_21]: it was uh... i really like to go on so i will say that but the reason why was the way i did was because the way the republicans were acting and they're acting the same way right now don't you see it the inflighting well there they're nominating a uh... or the establishment wants to nominate a sitting assembly person who really isn't known in ninety percent of the uh... congressional district and uh...
27:35
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm not going to judge his quote qualifications.
27:37
[SPEAKER_21]: I mean, there's some baggage there.
27:40
[SPEAKER_21]: He's got as there is baggage for the other guy, too.
27:44
[SPEAKER_21]: But I'm with the...
27:47
[SPEAKER_20]: I really like him, Santino.
27:49
[SPEAKER_20]: I think he's a great guy.
27:51
[SPEAKER_20]: You know, you can see it.
27:53
[SPEAKER_20]: He's just really rough around the edges, and I don't fully believe he has a hard time with things to people.
27:59
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, I think there are some issues there.
28:03
[SPEAKER_21]: demonstrative and all of that but on the other hand uh... yeah i agree with you i think he he more represents the trumpism i think they should have got a way from then fighting before the saw you know before the selection of the union started taking off the show sat down at the table one man and decided and women who was going to run and they did just can't seem to get past that point well you know what happened last winter
28:29
[SPEAKER_21]: or when it looked like there might be a special election and the reason that her nomination of the UN was pulled is because the White House came to the conclusion they couldn't win this seat.
28:39
[SPEAKER_21]: There was no consensus on a candidate.
28:45
[SPEAKER_21]: Most of the weighted vote from the chairs wanted to go with Liz Joy, but some of the establishment people didn't want that.
28:58
[SPEAKER_21]: the rest happened i think it was a horrible first yeah i agree like it's the climate like as far as at least does you know we'll mention so that out there she i just believe in my heart there's a bigger purpose for her well i think so but you know it was just nice and and you know obviously i was involved in that from the beginning but it's nice that we had a member of congress who was on the national stage was a player who was in leadership
29:26
[SPEAKER_21]: And she was on TV a lot, which isn't to be all in the end all she wrote a book that's coming out soon, and yeah.
29:33
[SPEAKER_21]: Yeah.
29:35
[SPEAKER_21]: Or is an IV isn't?
29:36
[SPEAKER_21]: Yeah.
29:37
[SPEAKER_20]: Yeah, I'm going to read that.
29:38
[SPEAKER_20]: I'm a reader.
29:39
[SPEAKER_20]: I like to read, so I'll get that book.
29:42
[SPEAKER_20]: I just think, I just really think that they need to stop with the inviting start, be in man.
29:48
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm not really a fan of small one.
29:54
[SPEAKER_21]: So.
29:57
[SPEAKER_21]: to that race well you have to it's but it's it's like three miles away from my house is that district so I've got customers who live in the twenty first so it's not irrelevant to me and yeah to lose if if they lose that seat Congress is definitely you'll be saying Mr. Speaker to hockey him there you know that's not what we need but yeah thanks
30:25
[SPEAKER_21]: The way it is, I don't know, I'm just calling like I see him.
30:28
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm not a, I'm no Fred Dicker, right?
30:32
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm no Alan Emery, but there are no veteran political analysts here in the North Country, so I have to pretend I am.
30:41
[SPEAKER_21]: And I do the best I can.
30:46
[SPEAKER_21]: There you go.
30:48
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, what else we got going on here?
30:54
[SPEAKER_21]: Let's see, there's a story from that, Kathy Hockel's replacement stuff's foot and it was mouth.
31:07
[SPEAKER_21]: Who's that?
31:11
[SPEAKER_21]: Oh, Blakeman.
31:15
[SPEAKER_21]: Yeah.
31:17
[SPEAKER_21]: This article says, if you didn't know better, you'd think Bruce Blakeman is intentionally
31:24
[SPEAKER_21]: they're after all was the gubernatorial candidate speaking to an ultra-conservative youtuber out of YouTube out of Utah of all places espousing conspiratorial words and what do you say well you know and that's the thing about Blakeman he's he's pro-choice which I know a lot of you are and I think he's in favor of gun control and everybody's in favor of some level of control except for a few people but still
31:55
[SPEAKER_21]: Yeah, the guy doesn't seem like, and have we ever seen him yet?
32:01
[SPEAKER_21]: No, I don't even think he's been on Channel 7's airways.
32:06
[SPEAKER_21]: But after doing that, I'm here.
32:08
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I'm glad you brought us to the top of the voting.
32:12
[SPEAKER_15]: Because I believe in you and that last caller, I believe that to 2026 midterms will be the most dynamic and historical and changing possible.
32:24
[SPEAKER_15]: election that we've ever had in our history and I like to give you a little background here you'll okay.
32:29
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't agree with you about to say fact is pending in the Senate right now it's really really hectic over there because the House passed it and this is this is a bad piece of legislation for a number of reasons which I would certainly go into detail but I know you don't have the time but let me just give you a little bit of statistics here on the reason why they want to say fact they say
32:50
[SPEAKER_21]: Yeah, we've heard the debate, we've heard the debate, Danny, I don't care about, I don't want to talk about the safe act, I told you, I wouldn't vote for it either, but we have to talk about Jeff, because if it passes, what you don't want to talk about, you don't want to talk about the TSA agents that aren't getting paid today, you don't want to talk about the Coast Guards that aren't getting paid today.
33:12
[SPEAKER_15]: I'll talk about them, I think they should get paid, and I think they should have never
33:22
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't believe they should get paid and shouldn't be a shut down life.
33:27
[SPEAKER_21]: Now, there'd be a good news story for Channel 7.
33:30
[SPEAKER_21]: Go up to the Coast Guard station on Walsley and see what's the mood there.
33:33
[SPEAKER_21]: Is there not getting paid either?
33:36
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes.
33:37
[SPEAKER_15]: It's a pretty crappy mood.
33:38
[SPEAKER_15]: I was a federal employee for a long time.
33:41
[SPEAKER_15]: After I retired from the Marine Corps, so I don't think that's right.
33:44
[SPEAKER_15]: But anyway, the Brookings Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the Britain Center for Democracy,
33:52
[SPEAKER_15]: They I know being an election.
33:54
[SPEAKER_15]: Okay, let me give you a statistic here last 30 years 100 million votes were checked in the United States for any kind of fraud Not many cases they found two 39 New York state 1982 to 2025 Checked the cases of fraud, you know how many they found two 28 Oh
34:19
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, listen, I am Danny, I'm not disagreeing.
34:22
[SPEAKER_15]: The thing will register.
34:24
[SPEAKER_21]: Danny, nobody's disagreeing.
34:26
[SPEAKER_21]: Danny, nobody is disagreeing with you.
34:28
[SPEAKER_21]: The elections are run fine up here.
34:30
[SPEAKER_21]: The two people running it now do a great job.
34:33
[SPEAKER_21]: And they've done even better jobs since a few years ago.
34:36
[SPEAKER_21]: It's easier the vote than ever.
34:38
[SPEAKER_21]: In the lives of those of us who live in water town, things are fine.
34:41
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm not, I can't sit there and go on and on all day with these democratic talking points about the safe act.
34:48
[SPEAKER_15]: it's the fact if it passes the Senate, we are going to be screwed big time.
34:53
[SPEAKER_21]: Oh, well, I don't think it's going to pass.
34:54
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, well, I'm going to have to show you a picture.
34:57
[SPEAKER_15]: You're not your birth certificate.
34:58
[SPEAKER_15]: Can hand me, can you go and go?
34:59
[SPEAKER_21]: No, but I do have an enhanced license on me.
35:02
[SPEAKER_21]: I pass my eye test.
35:04
[SPEAKER_21]: I'm sure you're pleased at that.
35:07
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, you know, Jeff, well, I'll stick to the top of the chair, okay?
35:11
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, the registration novel is in number of number of year-haw, 30 years, I've posted a long time.
35:16
[SPEAKER_15]: And the first registration I fulfilled that it's part of the form before I signed it is that I certified I signed the same form Danny.
35:24
[SPEAKER_15]: I know what it said Okay, but why why are we changing that now?
35:28
[SPEAKER_15]: You can't break your birth certificate in if you're adopted You got to have this if you're married.
35:32
[SPEAKER_15]: You got to make sure now.
35:33
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't know you understand right now That's a real fact 20
35:37
[SPEAKER_21]: I did have to bring things in when I got my uh... enhanced license you had to have certain points of ID but listen i i don't know what to say i'm just saying overall this is looking at any i'd rather not here's my quest here's a lead a question i was trying to get to the end what do you think the purpose of passing is to say that keep black people from voting
36:04
[SPEAKER_21]: OK all right good enough i got a run i got a call to any thank you night by now good afternoon around the air could i have to know Jeff uh... uh... you mentioned the list of on this book uh... what's the title of it and one would be released and i'll take your answer off the air all right my think it's like poison ivy or poison uh... it's about the colleges uh... in the ivy league and uh... how much they suck if she went to one of them uh...
36:32
[SPEAKER_21]: I think it comes out in April I imagine you could check with Amazon or anything like that or I don't know I mean wherever you get books but I would check with Amazon just see what they say.
36:49
[SPEAKER_21]: But after noon you're on the air.
36:51
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah oh the reason the least of my class is because she lied to you American taxpayers
37:02
[SPEAKER_08]: He voted to cut health care for 25 million Americans in this country or law-abiding citizens and taxpayers.
37:12
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's why it's the final class.

[SPEAKER_21]: I know they're bringing in a crane from Western New York, Buffalo area, large, great.
41:32
[SPEAKER_21]: Got to have a large crane for something like that.
41:37
[SPEAKER_21]: I don't know if it's Alia, but boy, that's a real subject of chatter among a, especially in like your coffee shops and old man bars and all that, you know, dude, I heard excavator down there and flipped it right over, and those skids are mighty slippery, you know, and the state boys are down there and they're not going to like that, and you know, it's kind of interesting, everybody talks, there's if they know what happened and all of that
42:07
[SPEAKER_21]: But I chime into, I've never operated any equipment heavier than a lawnmower, and they put everybody likes to get in.

42:28
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, Captain obvious here, the state of New York is ruled that the salmon river school district
42:35
[SPEAKER_21]: That's the one up around coming to end up with the reservation.
42:40
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, the state has determined that the district broke the law in using those time out boxes.
42:45
[SPEAKER_21]: So those are the plywood boxes they constructed.
42:48
[SPEAKER_21]: They put kids in when they got a little whatever.
42:57
[SPEAKER_21]: I would think if you thought, I shouldn't say this because the superintendents in New
43:05
[SPEAKER_21]: but if you were a superintendent of a school district or a school board and thought that that was a good idea that immediately disqualifies you for those positions I think again I'll say if you're a school superintendent and think building a plywood box to put unruly kids in is a good idea
43:27
[SPEAKER_21]: you should you just disqualified yourself now someone oh you're in a education you don't support the educators now i'm saying somebody was mighty stupid up there if they thought that was a good idea and the pictures of the box when you know i didn't he got some coverage here and some parents objected now listen if you want to build a box for your kid at home that's your business whatever
44:00
[SPEAKER_21]: Let's see, the Democrats are concerned that surf and turf are served by deploying troops.

[SPEAKER_21]: If they're going to have to go over to that hellhole, I don't know a problem paying for that.
44:18
[SPEAKER_21]: Now, somebody said they're going to have to wait on a black river, slow is down.
44:23
[SPEAKER_21]: Bad timing at true, it's very, the waters are quite
44:32
[SPEAKER_21]: So I don't know if they can do anything.
44:33
[SPEAKER_21]: So maybe they won't get that crane from Buffalo way and right away.
44:38
[SPEAKER_21]: I don't know if having the thing in the water doesn't do any harm, but it certainly is something that people like to talk about.
44:49
[SPEAKER_21]: In that field, people who work with their hands for a living, not the people pushing shopping carts around town.
44:59
[SPEAKER_21]: But after you're on the air,
45:01
[SPEAKER_09]: Take it after noon, man, how are you today?
45:03
[SPEAKER_21]: Good.
45:04
[SPEAKER_09]: Good.
45:06
[SPEAKER_09]: No fights for Celia.
45:07
[SPEAKER_09]: How's the most torn on?
45:10
[SPEAKER_21]: The moose.
45:11
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you said the Warren broke off the moose because of the ice.
45:15
[SPEAKER_21]: Oh, yeah.
45:16
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, we got to wait a little some better weather to get.
45:19
[SPEAKER_21]: We got to repair the lion there.
45:21
[SPEAKER_21]: I spoke the hole in the back of it.
45:28
[SPEAKER_21]: Yeah, and a lot of more to it this year, a lot of people don't like it, but unfortunately the company that sells those things went out of business, so I don't even know where you'd get them nowadays, but yeah, I enjoyed collecting them.
45:47
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I enjoyed a lot of people like this.
45:51
[SPEAKER_21]: if they were that that's a nice collection and you know if they were still unfortunately I'd like to keep the moves up closer to the bar but you can't keep people off of it they keep touching it and yeah everybody likes the most yeah and if I if the company were still in business I think I would get the velociraptor next for a little bit of all every weird and make it look like he's eating the most from my goodness
46:22
[SPEAKER_09]: But that would be a good positioning.
46:25
[SPEAKER_09]: But anyway, are you going down to the Irish festival that try it out maybe or not really somewhat?
46:31
[SPEAKER_09]: It is a long ways and that's what I understand there.
46:35
[SPEAKER_09]: I hope they have a good turnout and for the people in water town it's a long drive and to cop to happen and everything in the mountains.
46:45
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, you had to have a driver or a Uber guy and you know what I mean?
46:51
[SPEAKER_09]: the clating in back if you're looking at a hundred dollar bill just for a ride you know well right I mean obviously you want a range for a driver or something well yeah but I mean it's just some something where it's like I bet you know I can't for that yeah what's just too bad but then they get a lot of people up there in that area
47:13
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, you know, that's right near them instead of near like water town.
47:18
[SPEAKER_09]: We're all used to be.
47:19
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm glad you're still having the parade right there downtown water down in the north.
47:23
[SPEAKER_21]: No, no, no, the the, uh, shamrock run is in water town.
47:27
[SPEAKER_21]: The parade is in cut.
47:28
[SPEAKER_09]: It has a rock run.
47:29
[SPEAKER_09]: I excuse me, I said it wrong.
47:30
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but, uh, no, it's about it.
47:34
[SPEAKER_09]: Only other things I wanted to say about the voting.
47:38
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, people, it's bad.
47:41
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think when I have to go home, especially for midterms and I know nobody likes higher gas prices, but some people realize what we're dealing with, and they can take a little bite, and I'll tell you right now, gas prices are still less than they were under that last administration.
48:05
[SPEAKER_21]: Well, yeah, and we all know, you know, what's happening, and whether this Lance or Boyle had to be Lance right now, you could argue, yes, it's kind of like Senator Fetterman said, I think a day or two ago, they were pestering him again, well, what about this new leader over there, and you know what he said?
48:24
[SPEAKER_21]: Kill him, too.
48:26
[SPEAKER_09]: They should kill him, too.

54:02
[SPEAKER_10]: Depending on the news and talk authority, WATM-1240.
54:07
[SPEAKER_32]: Mark Patrick hypnosis is coming to water town Monday, March 23rd for one day only.
54:12
[SPEAKER_32]: Here's how hypnosis works to help people lose weight or stop smoking.
54:15
[SPEAKER_18]: We all have an image of ourselves and that image.
54:18
[SPEAKER_18]: If we have an image of a non-smoker, we attract non-smoker behaviors and beliefs.
54:22
[SPEAKER_18]: So we have an image of a smoker, we attract the habits of a smoker.
54:26
[SPEAKER_18]: If we have an image of a person who is overweight, we live up to those expectations.
54:30
[SPEAKER_18]: So one of the things we focus on with our programs is this.
54:34
[SPEAKER_18]: As we work on at the subconscious level, the image or snapshot of yourself.
54:38
[SPEAKER_18]: If you have a healthy image, you attract healthy habits.
54:41
[SPEAKER_18]: We work on under hypnosis taking the pleasure association out for smokers that they have towards smoking, putting back in what they already know consciously that it's a filthy, disgusting habit that they never wish they start in the first place that's killing them dead.
54:54
[SPEAKER_18]: And we get them out of these sessions, doing good about themselves, and it's what they want to do these things instead of feel like they have to do that.
55:00
[SPEAKER_32]: Don't miss Mark Patrick hypnosis, Monday, March 23rd at the Ramada by Windham.
