Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's Phil Henry.
0:01
Speaker 2: Welcome to another Radio Archive Hour from the Radio Hall
0:04
Speaker 2: of Fame Phil Henry Show and our website philhenryshow.com.
0:07
Speaker 1: R.C.
0:08
Speaker 2: Collins is one of the more popular, if not one
0:10
Speaker 2: of the most popular, of the guests we've had on
0:13
Speaker 2: down through the years.
0:14
Speaker 1: He's back with us this week, and he is at
0:17
Speaker 1: Bradley Military Academy.
0:18
Speaker 2: This is a school. This is from May, by the way,
0:20
Speaker 2: of 2006. It's a school in Altadena, California, north of L.A.,
0:23
Speaker 2: a military academy. He's proposing that the sport of paintball
0:28
Speaker 2: be added to their curriculum. Because he thinks that's kind
0:31
Speaker 2: of realistic. That teaches the guys, you know, what it's
0:34
Speaker 2: like to be in a real firefight. Anyway, he warns
0:37
Speaker 2: that if the proposal to add paintball is not accepted,
0:42
Speaker 2: there might be, quote, repercussions in the surrounding area. In
0:46
Speaker 2: other words, he's issuing threats. Let's listen.
0:50
Speaker 3: R.C.
0:50
Speaker 2: Collins is a junior cadet at Bradley Military Academy. And before, R.C.,
0:55
Speaker 2: first of all, thank you for joining us.
0:56
Speaker 3: I appreciate you allowing us this opportunity, sir.
1:01
Speaker 2: Before we talk about this proposal you've made to the Academy,
1:06
Speaker 2: can you tell me about yourself?
1:07
Speaker 1: When did you first enter Bradley?
1:09
Speaker 3: Yes, sir. I entered Bradley Military Academy in the fall
1:12
Speaker 3: of 2003. I enrolled here with the intention of getting
1:18
Speaker 3: a college preparatory education. My intent is to go to
1:26
Speaker 3: West Point Military Academy at West Point and eventually be
1:30
Speaker 3: commissioned as an officer. At that time, I want to
1:32
Speaker 3: try for airborne, 82nd Airborne Jump School. And at that time,
1:38
Speaker 3: I do hope then at that time to go to
1:41
Speaker 3: either Iraq or to Afghanistan to be a part of
1:46
Speaker 3: the operation there with 82nd or 101st Airborne. Well, you've
1:49
Speaker 3: got your life as....
1:52
Speaker 1: Pretty planned out, huh?
1:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think anybody who enters the military academy
1:58
Speaker 3: is unclear about what their future is going to be about.
2:04
Speaker 3: And that's why we've made the proposal on three different
2:08
Speaker 3: occasions to include paintball in our curriculum.
2:12
Speaker 2: Now, paintball, as I understand it, is a, excuse me,
2:17
Speaker 2: I've got a little bit of a cough, is a sport.
2:21
Speaker 1: In which one shoots.
2:22
Speaker 2: Paintballs at an opponent, and when one hits an opponent,
2:26
Speaker 2: that is scored as a kill, correct?
2:28
Speaker 3: Depending upon where, on what part of the body you
2:31
Speaker 3: hit the opponent, but yeah. In our paintball tournaments that
2:35
Speaker 3: we've had informally and off campus, I've had 35 kills,
2:40
Speaker 3: them's all confirmed, and there are at least two other
2:44
Speaker 3: underclassmen who have 30 kills, which them are confirmed too.
2:51
Speaker 3: and we have one other underclassman with 29 kills. The
2:57
Speaker 3: idea of paintball as combat training was basically thought up
3:03
Speaker 3: by myself and Cadet Chris Sorensen when we had seen
3:10
Speaker 3: a lot of the footage coming from Iraq of our soldiers.
3:16
Speaker 3: We felt that while a lot of the war games
3:20
Speaker 3: the military engages in are beneficial, nothing prepares the combat
3:26
Speaker 3: soldier to be, you know, expecting to kill. And that's
3:35
Speaker 3: why we have proposed this.
3:37
Speaker 2: Now, you've been turned down by the commandant and by
3:40
Speaker 2: the school administration.
3:42
Speaker 1: Three times, correct?
3:44
Speaker 3: We have, but with a proviso. Commandant Warman told us
3:50
Speaker 3: that he needed compelling evidence that we needed paintball. So
3:59
Speaker 3: we certainly do understand what he means, and that's why
4:03
Speaker 3: I've been doing the different talk programmings. I was on
4:08
Speaker 3: the Dennis Prager show this afternoon. I've been on the
4:12
Speaker 3: Ken and John show and other shows. And what we're
4:17
Speaker 3: really saying is this. We do expect to have paintball
4:22
Speaker 3: at Bradley Military Academy next year. If not, our message
4:31
Speaker 3: to the immediate surrounding community is that there might be
4:35
Speaker 3: repercussions there.
4:38
Speaker 2: That there might be repercussions in the surrounding community where
4:41
Speaker 2: the school is?
4:42
Speaker 3: That is correct.
4:45
Speaker 1: And that means in the Altadena, California area?
4:49
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, that's correct.
4:51
Speaker 1: All right. And are you willing to tell me what
4:53
Speaker 1: those are?
4:54
Speaker 3: Well, when Commandant Wireman said he needed compelling evidence, we
5:00
Speaker 3: certainly did understand what he's talking about.
5:04
Speaker 2: Can I ask you something, R.C.? Are you telling me
5:06
Speaker 2: that when Commandant Wireman said to you he does not
5:08
Speaker 2: want paintball as a part of the curriculum, unless he
5:12
Speaker 2: gets compelling evidence, did you read that to mean you
5:15
Speaker 2: need to do something in the community?
5:18
Speaker 3: We are training to be soldiers. We need to adapt
5:22
Speaker 3: and overcome. That's what you do. And so we understand
5:27
Speaker 3: what the message is. We are prepared to do what
5:32
Speaker 3: we got to do. And we're not talking about anyone
5:35
Speaker 3: getting hurt, but we are expecting to have it.
5:41
Speaker 1: Who makes the decision to add something to your curriculum?
5:44
Speaker 3: It is a consortium of members of the military academy
5:47
Speaker 3: staff who are all retired Army or Marine Corps officers.
5:52
Speaker 3: And then there are some civilians, too, who are on
5:55
Speaker 3: the board, too. And those are the people that are
5:58
Speaker 3: really holding back on it are the civilian ones.
6:03
Speaker 1: I need for you to be clear. I'm sorry.
6:05
Speaker 2: If you don't get paintball added to your curriculum next fall,
6:08
Speaker 2: which I assume would be your senior year.
6:10
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
6:12
Speaker 1: What will happen?
6:14
Speaker 3: Well, you ask me that question.
6:17
Speaker 1: No, I'm asking you directly. What are you saying there's
6:19
Speaker 1: going to be repercussions?
6:21
Speaker 3: There's going to be repercussions. I mean, you don't... We
6:25
Speaker 3: have a student body of almost 1,000 cadets. We're ready
6:32
Speaker 3: to go to war right now for our country. That's how, really,
6:35
Speaker 3: how salty we are. I mean, we're raw and we're salty.
6:39
Speaker 3: And we know we've got to go over to... West
6:43
Speaker 3: Point and everything like that. But we're ready to go now.
6:47
Speaker 3: If you say, no, you can't have paintball, okay, so
6:52
Speaker 3: that's like telling a dog that's not had any fresh
6:56
Speaker 3: red meat for weeks, no, you don't get to have
7:00
Speaker 3: any fresh red meat. So the dog will adapt and overcome,
7:03
Speaker 3: even if that means his owner is going to get
7:06
Speaker 3: chewed on.
7:10
Speaker 2: All right, our number is 1-800-449-8686. You're listening to R.C. Collins,
7:15
Speaker 2: junior cadet at Bradley Military Academy. You know there's an
7:17
Speaker 2: awful lot of veterans listening to our broadcast, especially this
7:21
Speaker 2: being just following Memorial Day weekend.
7:25
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, and I want to say at this time
7:27
Speaker 3: we have nothing but respect and honor for our vets
7:30
Speaker 3: who went out, for the ones that are listening now,
7:34
Speaker 3: and who went out and died for our country and
7:36
Speaker 3: for all of our veterans because... They are our inspiration.
7:40
Speaker 1: I understand that. Now, these are men who have faced
7:43
Speaker 1: real combat.
7:45
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, they have. And what we want is real combat, too.
7:49
Speaker 3: And I don't think... Anyone that's been in a paintball tournament,
7:53
Speaker 3: there's really not a lot of difference between that and
7:57
Speaker 3: actually shooting at the enemy. I mean, yeah, you don't
8:01
Speaker 3: die from getting a paintball shot, but still there's fear,
8:04
Speaker 3: and there's fear of being... You could get a paintball...
8:08
Speaker 3: And it could blind you. You could get a paintball
8:11
Speaker 3: and you would, you know, it could hit you between
8:14
Speaker 3: the legs. You could get a paintball and, you know,
8:18
Speaker 3: be dragging a leg, you know, as a result.
8:22
Speaker 2: Are you telling me that paintball is like actual combat?
8:24
Speaker 2: In actual combat, there's death, suffering, there's screaming, there's yelling,
8:28
Speaker 2: there's confusion, there's blood.
8:30
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
8:31
Speaker 3: And have you been to a paintball tournament?
8:33
Speaker 1: No, sir, I haven't.
8:34
Speaker 3: Okay, well then, you know, I don't really know. how
8:38
Speaker 3: you can say that, because.
8:40
Speaker 1: Well, I know that in a paintball tournament, no one dies.
8:43
Speaker 3: Other than that is what I'm saying.
8:44
Speaker 1: Other than that.
8:45
Speaker 2: Well, look, in combat, because I've talked to veterans, there
8:49
Speaker 2: are guys who are badly wounded, who need medical attention,
8:54
Speaker 2: who kind of mess up whatever formation or whatever operation
8:59
Speaker 2: is in place because of the way the enemy is attacking.
9:02
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Mr. Henry, you're in over your head
9:05
Speaker 3: a little bit, because you're talking now... about the operational
9:09
Speaker 3: art and tactics. And that's on account of we know
9:12
Speaker 3: about it. Our paintball training will give that to us. Now, again,
9:16
Speaker 3: we give Bradley Military Academy till the fall semester of 2006,
9:23
Speaker 3: and then, you know, I mean, you know, stuff will happen.
9:28
Speaker 3: I don't know what you mean.
9:29
Speaker 1: By stuff will happen. Stuff will.
9:32
Speaker 3: I'm saying you've got to.
9:36
Speaker 3: Just, just, we're saying to the civilians on our board, please,
9:41
Speaker 3: don't make us do what obviously Commandant Wireman is telling
9:47
Speaker 3: us to do.
9:49
Speaker 2: Commandant Wireman said he needed compelling reasons to get paintball
9:53
Speaker 2: on the curriculum. And you're saying he's telling you to
9:56
Speaker 2: do what?
9:58
Speaker 3: Adapt and overcome. That's... what I'll just say for now.
10:02
Speaker 1: Adapt and overcome. 1-800-449-8686. Julius, you're on The Phil Hendry Show.
10:06
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
10:08
Speaker 6: I'm confused by our caller, Phil. I don't know what,
10:14
Speaker 6: I'm confused by what.
10:15
Speaker 3: He proposes to do to the community. And I'm concerned.
10:19
Speaker 3: Why don't you go and listen to your radio some
10:21
Speaker 3: more and you'll figure it out.
10:24
Speaker 6: You're being deliberately vague in your threats.
10:29
Speaker 3: May I call them threats? Then listening to the radio
10:32
Speaker 3: will help you out.
10:33
Speaker 6: All right, may I call them threats?
10:36
Speaker 3: Well, to you they probably would be.
10:39
Speaker 1: All right, look it, thanks for calling. We'll move on. 1-800-449.
10:42
Speaker 1: Are they threats?
10:44
Speaker 3: To that guy, they probably would be.
10:45
Speaker 1: Are they threats?
10:47
Speaker 3: Well, he sounded scared.
10:49
Speaker 1: World famous Phil Henry show.
10:50
Speaker 4: The Phil Henry show.
10:51
Speaker 3: If I'm going to die for a word, my word
10:53
Speaker 3: is poontang.
10:57
Speaker 2: Speaking with a young man who is a junior cadet
10:59
Speaker 2: at Bradley Military Academy in Altadena, California. You're talking about
11:02
Speaker 2: influencing the curriculum of a high school. Now, this is
11:05
Speaker 2: not unheard of. There's a lot of students in high
11:07
Speaker 2: schools across this country that want to change or influence
11:11
Speaker 2: their curriculum. But I've never heard them say that if
11:13
Speaker 2: they don't get what they want, stuff's going to happen.
11:15
Speaker 6: Mr.
11:17
Speaker 3: Henry, we're not saying anything that is out of nature
11:21
Speaker 3: for a military academy of the military. Because, look, I
11:27
Speaker 3: don't go to regular high school. If I wanted to
11:29
Speaker 3: have some class added at a regular high school, let's
11:31
Speaker 3: say I wanted to have, I don't know, you know,
11:34
Speaker 3: like folk music or something. Well, okay, I'd say, yeah,
11:38
Speaker 3: I want to have folk music. And if they don't, well,
11:40
Speaker 3: I can't do anything about it because I'm just a
11:44
Speaker 3: stupid kid. But I'm in a military academy and we
11:46
Speaker 3: do have options. The only thing we're seeing is... We
11:50
Speaker 3: are telling the community at large, if we don't get
11:54
Speaker 3: paintball on our curriculum, it'll be a three-stage rollout. The
12:00
Speaker 3: first stage from what we call our memorial tower, which
12:06
Speaker 3: is a loudspeaker, we will play the following tune. Go ahead, Jim.
12:15
Speaker 1: Now, what is that?
12:16
Speaker 3: That is taps. That is traditionally played... over the grave
12:19
Speaker 3: of a fallen soldier. But in this instance, we're going
12:25
Speaker 3: to be playing it to let people know that we're
12:29
Speaker 3: not happy.
12:31
Speaker 1: Well, what does that mean? Are you threatening death?
12:33
Speaker 3: No, sir, we're not threatening death.
12:37
Speaker 1: You're going to play that and then what?
12:40
Speaker 3: Then we'll adapt.
12:41
Speaker 1: Then you'll adapt. All right, 1-800-449-8686.
12:44
Speaker 2: Let me go over here to Steve.
12:48
Speaker 1: You're on the Phil Henry Show. Go ahead.
12:51
Speaker 3: Steve?
12:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is Steve in Phoenix.
12:54
Speaker 1: Go ahead, sir.
12:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think this kid could handle paintball if
12:57
Speaker 7: they got it on their curriculum.
13:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, whatever.
13:01
Speaker 7: I play paintball in tournaments all the time, and I'm
13:04
Speaker 7: a law enforcement officer out here in Arizona, and it's
13:09
Speaker 7: paintball and.
13:11
Speaker 7: And being in a stressful situation aren't anywhere near the same.
13:15
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't say stressful situation.
13:16
Speaker 7: What do you think combat is?
13:18
Speaker 3: On the combat field.
13:21
Speaker 7: What do you think combat is?
13:23
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't say it's like having a migraine headache.
13:27
Speaker 3: Is that what you're talking about?
13:28
Speaker 7: No, I'm talking about being in a stressful situation where
13:31
Speaker 7: you have to make instantaneous decisions on whether you're going
13:34
Speaker 7: to take somebody's life.
13:36
Speaker 3: Exactly. That's paintball is not killing a guy. But it's
13:42
Speaker 3: the same decision-making as everything else. And also, you're a
13:47
Speaker 3: police officer, which is good, but it's not the same
13:49
Speaker 3: thing as having, you know, 100 towelheads shoot at you
13:53
Speaker 3: every day of your life. So there's a lot that's
13:57
Speaker 3: different about it.
13:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a police officer is doing it for 20 years,
14:00
Speaker 1: 30 years.
14:01
Speaker 8: Right.
14:02
Speaker 1: After 30 years, it's like having 100, what do you
14:04
Speaker 1: mean towelhead? It's raghead.
14:07
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, you're telling me.
14:08
Speaker 1: Well, just everybody in the military I ever talked to
14:10
Speaker 1: said it's raghead.
14:12
Speaker 3: The correct derogatory term is towel wrapper.
14:15
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's raghead. Anyway.
14:19
Speaker 7: It doesn't make any difference what you all want to
14:21
Speaker 7: call him.
14:22
Speaker 3: Have you ever been shot at in 20 years?
14:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have.
14:26
Speaker 3: Are you in for 20 years?
14:28
Speaker 7: I've been here for 13.
14:29
Speaker 3: Well, who shot at you? Gang members. What?
14:35
Speaker 7: And frankly, you know what?
14:37
Speaker 3: If I had a choice, I'd.
14:38
Speaker 7: Probably much rather be.
14:40
Speaker 7: With our soldiers overseas, I don't know who I'm going
14:44
Speaker 7: to run into over here. I could run into Joe
14:46
Speaker 7: Small on the street, and he.
14:47
Speaker 3: Could shoot at me. Billy Trevain, one of our cadets,
14:49
Speaker 3: wants to ask, how many times have you been shot at,
14:52
Speaker 3: not counting sport guns? That's pretty rude.
14:54
Speaker 2: That's the most asinine question.
14:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.
14:58
Speaker 7: You know, I don't know where your school is, but.
15:02
Speaker 3: We're in Alcadena, California.
15:04
Speaker 7: Okay, you know what? I'll get my team together, my
15:07
Speaker 7: paintball team, and we'll come over there and we'll show
15:09
Speaker 7: you what paintball's about. But it isn't anything like combat.
15:12
Speaker 3: Hey, bring it.
15:14
Speaker 1: Bring it. Bring it.
15:15
Speaker 3: Well, you guys can laugh, but we're salty. And we're
15:18
Speaker 3: ready to eat our guts out. How old are you? What?
15:21
Speaker 7: How old are you?
15:22
Speaker 3: 16. And you're salty? Well, let me tell you what.
15:27
Speaker 3: I know that my country is in a very serious situation,
15:31
Speaker 3: and one of the things we need to do is
15:33
Speaker 3: to restore order to a part of the world that's
15:35
Speaker 3: caused a lot of these problems. I'm ready to go
15:38
Speaker 3: over there right now and do it, but they won't
15:41
Speaker 3: let us because we're young. So if we learn paintball,
15:45
Speaker 3: we can go.
15:47
Speaker 2: You said you want to go to West Point, then
15:49
Speaker 2: you want to go to airborne school. You're not even
15:52
Speaker 2: close to going to Iraq.
15:53
Speaker 3: No. You know what, Mr. Henry? Just stick to what
15:57
Speaker 3: you know.
15:58
Speaker 1: Stick to what I... I'm just saying what you told me.
16:01
Speaker 7: This kid's lost. He has no idea what he wants
16:04
Speaker 7: to do with his life, and paintball isn't going to
16:05
Speaker 7: fix it.
16:05
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? I'm in a military academy. Then
16:08
Speaker 3: I'm going to West Point. Then I'm going to Airborne.
16:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, your mommy probably put you there because she couldn't
16:12
Speaker 7: control you.
16:13
Speaker 3: No, my mother's an alcoholic. My father put me here.
16:15
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
16:16
Speaker 7: Okay, well, he probably couldn't control you.
16:18
Speaker 3: Father put me here to show me the way. I'm
16:21
Speaker 3: going to go to Iraq, not run around Phoenix, you know,
16:25
Speaker 3: dodging squirt guns.
16:27
Speaker 2: The guys talking about gangbangers have a little bit of
16:29
Speaker 2: freaking respect.
16:31
Speaker 3: Thank you, Phil. Thanks for your time.
16:32
Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, sir. What are you going to
16:34
Speaker 1: insult a cop for?
16:36
Speaker 3: I didn't insult him.
16:37
Speaker 2: Your little buddy there, Billy Trevane, wants.
16:40
Speaker 1: To know why, you know.
16:42
Speaker 3: He's playing cops and robbers with rubber bands. You know
16:45
Speaker 3: what he means is gang bangers and stuff use zip guns.
16:50
Speaker 3: That's nothing but a rubber band and a piece of metal.
16:53
Speaker 1: They don't use zip guns anymore, man. They don't use zip... Oh, really?
16:57
Speaker 3: Well, tell me all about it, J. Edgar Hoover, because.
17:02
Speaker 2: No, they don't use zip guns anymore. Gang bangers have
17:05
Speaker 2: got everything in the arsenal.
17:07
Speaker 3: I'm a man. Surviving puberty made me a man. And
17:10
Speaker 3: people have to understand about it.
17:13
Speaker 1: 1-800-449-8686.
17:13
Speaker 2: Let's go over to Nancy in Arizona, who I understand
17:19
Speaker 2: is a Navy veteran.
17:20
Speaker 1: Nancy, go ahead. Hello.
17:22
Speaker 3: Yes.
17:24
Speaker 9: You know, I had a bunch of questions, and then
17:26
Speaker 9: I just listened to him insult a Phoenix police officer. Well,
17:31
Speaker 9: what does.
17:32
Speaker 3: That have to do with being in the military?
17:37
Speaker 9: Actually, I wasn't going to interrupt you.
17:41
Speaker 3: I think you don't have anything to worry about. Mr. Hendricks.
17:46
Speaker 2: Would you please, young man, let the lady finish what
17:49
Speaker 2: she's saying?
17:49
Speaker 1: Be a gentleman. Be an officer and a gentleman.
17:52
Speaker 3: Oh, what? Because you've seen that movie? You think you
17:54
Speaker 3: know all about it?
17:55
Speaker 1: Just shut up, then. How about that? You understand that?
17:58
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Nancy.
18:00
Speaker 9: Thank you. Yeah, I am.
18:03
Speaker 1: Put the kid on hold. Go ahead, ma'am.
18:06
Speaker 9: I am retired Navy, and I think I shared with
18:08
Speaker 9: you what I did for my job. I did have
18:11
Speaker 9: some serious background checks.
18:16
Speaker 2: Tell that kid to turn that off, bud.
18:21
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
18:22
Speaker 9: He's not going to pass a psychological check. He's not
18:25
Speaker 9: going to pass a security check. He's ruining his future
18:28
Speaker 9: right now.
18:30
Speaker 1: Turn it off. Did you hear what the lady said?
18:37
Speaker 3: If she's saying I'm psycho, she's dead on right about that.
18:41
Speaker 3: I am psycho, and all my bros are, too. Hello?
18:50
Speaker 9: I'm just waiting for him to pipe in with his
18:52
Speaker 9: music again, yeah.
18:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is.
18:55
Speaker 3: Well, what's the lady say?
18:57
Speaker 1: She's a Navy veteran, man. Do you understand? She's been
18:59
Speaker 1: in the military.
19:00
Speaker 3: In the Navy, yeah. If you've ever heard the song
19:03
Speaker 3: by the YMCA people... Yeah, sure, yeah.
19:09
Speaker 1: It's called the village people, jackass.
19:16
Speaker 9: And, Mr. Henry, I'm not just a Navy veteran. I
19:18
Speaker 9: am retired.
19:20
Speaker 1: So your life was spent in the Navy. Yes, it was.
19:23
Speaker 1: And now you're retired.
19:24
Speaker 9: Yes, and my father and my husband.
19:28
Speaker 3: Hey, Nancy, somebody wants to talk to you. He'll never
19:32
Speaker 3: get to Iraq. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
19:35
Speaker 2: He's doing Popeye impressions. Phil Hendry Show, 1-800-449-8686. All right,
19:39
Speaker 2: we're talking here with R.C.
19:42
Speaker 1: Collins.
19:43
Speaker 9: R.C.
19:43
Speaker 2: Is with Bradley Military Academy about their need to have paintball.
19:46
Speaker 2: You just heard a police officer say that paintball is
19:49
Speaker 2: not right. combat training.
19:52
Speaker 1: Okay? It's nowhere near.
19:54
Speaker 2: The kind of reality you'll get in an actual Army
19:57
Speaker 2: game or in actual training in boot camp, the Marine Corps,
20:01
Speaker 2: the Army, or anything. So when you hear these voices
20:04
Speaker 2: of experience, why do you insist that you want paintball?
20:08
Speaker 3: Because, Mr. Henry... We want to see if people take
20:12
Speaker 3: us seriously. It's not really whether we get paintball or not,
20:17
Speaker 3: but we want to see if people will, I guess,
20:21
Speaker 3: bend to our will. And that's really what Commandant Wireman
20:23
Speaker 3: is asking. Will people bend to our will? Now, again,
20:29
Speaker 3: two days into our fall semester, the Memorial Tower on
20:36
Speaker 3: the south campus side will begin to play this song.
20:44
Speaker 3: You will hear that for approximately, probably about 20 seconds.
20:52
Speaker 3: I'll just give an example of it. Once that has
20:56
Speaker 3: been completed, and that again, Phil, is the sound of taps,
21:01
Speaker 3: which is the thing you play when a guy gets dead.
21:08
Speaker 3: That will be followed by three bursts. And finally, that
21:20
Speaker 3: lets the surrounding neighborhood know that we are salty.
21:26
Speaker 1: See, all of that sounds like a threat to me.
21:29
Speaker 3: No, it's just.
21:30
Speaker 2: See, you're telling me you don't even care if you
21:31
Speaker 2: get paintball. You just want to see if they'll bend
21:33
Speaker 2: to your will. Who, the civilians on the school board?
21:37
Speaker 3: Again, three blasts.
21:40
Speaker 1: Are you answering my question, sir?
21:45
Speaker 3: For now, I'll let that be the answer. 1-800-449-8686.
21:50
Speaker 1: Let's go to Gent. Gent, go ahead. You're on the
21:54
Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show.
21:56
Speaker 5: I like it, Bob. I'm playing too many video games.
22:00
Speaker 3: What are you talking about, video games?
22:02
Speaker 5: I think you living in a reality world, you don't
22:05
Speaker 5: know what reality is. You piss your pants, they throw
22:08
Speaker 5: you off in Iraq with all them guns down on you.
22:11
Speaker 3: We want to get experience to be in Iraq and
22:14
Speaker 3: to fight against the towelheads.
22:17
Speaker 5: You don't have no idea, man. You ain't got out
22:20
Speaker 5: in the world yet. You need to take and listen
22:22
Speaker 5: to your elders, man. Did you ever go to Iraq?
22:28
Speaker 3: No.
22:28
Speaker 5: You're not going to make it. I hope we're done
22:30
Speaker 5: with Iraq by the time you get old enough to
22:33
Speaker 5: go over there, boy.
22:33
Speaker 3: Have you ever been to Iraq? No.
22:36
Speaker 5: Well, what about you? Have you been to Iraq?
22:39
Speaker 3: Well, I'm closer to it than you are. I'm in
22:40
Speaker 3: a military academy.
22:42
Speaker 5: That's what you think, son. I've been all over this country.
22:45
Speaker 3: This country? This country? We're talking about Iraq. That's a
22:50
Speaker 3: different country, you hillbilly.
22:52
Speaker 1: All right, watch it.
22:54
Speaker 3: All right.
22:55
Speaker 5: Don't you think we got enough problems in the world
22:57
Speaker 5: and having to worry about some kid wanting paintball?
23:01
Speaker 3: Hey, what are you still sweating? There ain't no flies
23:04
Speaker 3: on your ass.
23:05
Speaker 5: Terroristic threats, son. You know what? When you make threats
23:09
Speaker 5: like that, that's just as bad.
23:11
Speaker 3: As it is. All I'm saying is that on approximately
23:15
Speaker 3: September 23rd, people will hear this and then this. Now,
23:20
Speaker 3: if this makes you wet your pants... Come get it.
23:23
Speaker 5: Oh, you show wet your pants and basically I'll throw
23:25
Speaker 5: you out there in Iraq right now.
23:28
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm closer to Iraq than you are on account
23:31
Speaker 3: of I'm training for it. And you're not. You're just
23:34
Speaker 3: driving around with a bunch of moo cow creamers in
23:36
Speaker 3: the back.
23:37
Speaker 5: That's what you like, man.
23:39
Speaker 3: What are you hauling? What? What are you hauling?
23:43
Speaker 5: It don't make no difference what I'm hauling, man.
23:45
Speaker 3: I haul it all.
23:46
Speaker 5: And I've been around it all.
23:48
Speaker 6: And you haven't been.
23:49
Speaker 5: Around nothing yet, son. You just don't have no clue.
23:52
Speaker 5: You just I mean, I can't believe you're on the
23:54
Speaker 5: radio talking like this, man.
23:55
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. What's the biggest load
23:57
Speaker 3: you ever hauled? Like, say, some cars or your old
24:00
Speaker 3: lady to church?
24:02
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? That's real funny, man.
24:04
Speaker 5: He's a real comedian. I don't know where this boy's going.
24:07
Speaker 1: Real comedian, isn't he?
24:08
Speaker 3: Well, you're the guy. You said I pee my pants. Hey,
24:13
Speaker 3: I've been peeing by myself, and I've been peeing straight
24:15
Speaker 3: for a long time.
24:17
Speaker 5: Buddy, you ain't been under no pressure yet. You're out
24:19
Speaker 5: playing paint on video games. And you think you know
24:22
Speaker 5: all about it?
24:24
Speaker 3: No, we're trying to learn about it so that when
24:26
Speaker 3: I go to Iraq, I can be a heartbreaker and
24:28
Speaker 3: a life taker.
24:29
Speaker 5: Hey, you might already listen to your commander. He knows
24:32
Speaker 5: what he's talking about. He's a little bit older than
24:34
Speaker 5: you are.
24:34
Speaker 3: Well, he said that we need to have the community
24:36
Speaker 3: bend to our will.
24:38
Speaker 1: Oh, he did not. That's what you clowns are thinking.
24:41
Speaker 3: Well, what's this guy laughing about? I'm laughing at you, man.
24:46
Speaker 3: All you do all day long is say, yeah, there's
24:48
Speaker 3: another load of Mercedes. I got to go back over
24:51
Speaker 3: to Squint-Eyeville and pick up some more. You don't know.
24:56
Speaker 5: Where I've been or what I've done. You couldn't even
24:58
Speaker 5: get close to handling what I do, boy.
25:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd have to get a little bit of penicillin
25:02
Speaker 3: in me before I did that. Okay.
25:05
Speaker 1: All right. Enough. You know, you want to disrespect this man.
25:08
Speaker 1: He's calling up and he's talking.
25:10
Speaker 3: He's talking trash. Like, you know.
25:12
Speaker 2: He's... Everybody that's called in is older than you, man, okay?
25:16
Speaker 2: Including myself.
25:17
Speaker 3: You didn't call in? God, what an idiot. You're the...
25:20
Speaker 3: I'm the ho.
25:21
Speaker 1: Don't call me an idiot. I'll hang up on you.
25:24
Speaker 3: Hey, mister. Hey, mister, honk your truck horn if you
25:27
Speaker 3: really are... If you really are.
25:29
Speaker 1: If he really is what?
25:32
Speaker 3: A truck driver.
25:34
Speaker 5: You know, I'm right.
25:35
Speaker 3: I'm a truck driver.
25:36
Speaker 5: I ain't got to blow my horn, son. That's what
25:37
Speaker 5: I'm trying to tell you. I've been all over this country.
25:40
Speaker 3: I've made a lot.
25:40
Speaker 5: Of stuff going. You ain't got a clue, man.
25:43
Speaker 3: You don't have to blow your horn. You pay some
25:45
Speaker 3: kid to do that. What?
25:48
Speaker 5: Man, that ain't even right. You can't even go there.
25:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet I can't.
25:54
Speaker 5: Some of the rest stops you've been to... Oh, come on.
25:59
Speaker 3: You know when the time's right, you stop off at
26:02
Speaker 3: the rest stop and find yourself something pink and young.
26:05
Speaker 1: All right, listen, you punk. Listen, punk.

27:53
Speaker 3: And that's another kid from a military academy, and you
27:56
Speaker 3: want to know why? Because those kids know that what
27:59

Speaker 3: son of bitches.
28:36
Speaker 4: The Phil Hendry Show is back. 1-800-449-8686.
28:42
Speaker 2: On the line with me is R.C. Collins from Bradley
28:44
Speaker 2: Military Academy. Just a few more seconds. You have been
28:47
Speaker 2: very disrespectful, I think.
28:49
Speaker 3: Well, Mr. Hendry, I'm not trying to be disrespectful to
28:52
Speaker 3: people that fight for the country of America.
28:54
Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute. You've had a police officer on
28:56
Speaker 1: the line. You've had a truck driver?
28:58
Speaker 3: Well, he was the one that said that I would
29:00
Speaker 3: pee my pants.
29:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was a man who made a very
29:03
Speaker 2: good point. He's out there hauling stuff. Lookit, you're giving
29:06
Speaker 2: him crap. You're threatening the community. You're blasting off a
29:10
Speaker 2: machine gun sound effect. You're playing taps. You're saying if
29:13
Speaker 2: you don't get to play chalkball, or not chalkball, what's
29:17
Speaker 2: it called?
29:17
Speaker 3: Chalkball?
29:18
Speaker 9: What a talk.
29:19
Speaker 3: He called it chalkball. It's called paintball. Hello?
29:26
Speaker 1: I'm here.
29:28
Speaker 2: Paintball that you're going to bring the pain.
29:33
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean I'm gonna hurt nobody.
29:36
Speaker 1: But when you say you're gonna bring the pain.
29:40
Speaker 3: All I'm doing is playing this.
29:43
Speaker 3: And this.
29:45
Speaker 3: I ain't hurting nobody with that.
29:47
Speaker 2: I would say taps and a machine gun blast is
29:49
Speaker 2: some kind of a message.
29:52
Speaker 3: It's all about bending the community to our will.
29:55
Speaker 1: What are you, Count Dracula, man? What do you mean,
29:57
Speaker 1: bending the community to your will?
30:00
Speaker 3: We are looking for Count Dracula. That's pretty funny. We
30:03
Speaker 3: are looking for.
30:05
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to take a phone call.
30:07
Speaker 2: I don't care what you've got to say.
30:08
Speaker 1: Turn off the taps, please, okay?
30:11
Speaker 3: Why? Nobody's got the water running.
30:18
Speaker 1: Turn off the music, man.
30:22
Speaker 3: Just wanted it to trail out. It's very tasteful.
30:27
Speaker 1: Here is Richard. Go ahead, Richard.
30:29
Speaker 5: Hello, Phil.
30:30
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
30:31
Speaker 8: I'm just very amused at the young man tonight. First off,
30:35
Speaker 8: I spent nine years in the military, so I do.
30:38
Speaker 3: Know what it's about. Where do you buy your chalk? Chalk? Chalk.
30:42
Speaker 8: We're not talking about chalk, young man. What I would
30:45
Speaker 8: like to say to you, the song Taps, first off,
30:49
Speaker 8: is not only played at funerals. It's played at the
30:51
Speaker 8: end of the day every day. When the sun goes
30:54
Speaker 8: down and the flags lower, they play Taps. Yep, because
30:58
Speaker 8: another day's dead. Secondly, if you were truly a student
31:04
Speaker 8: at a military academy, your English dictation would be a
31:08
Speaker 8: little bit better. You would not use double negatives in
31:11
Speaker 8: the same sentence. Thirdly, do not interrupt me while I speak. Thirdly,
31:19
Speaker 8: you would learn respect of your superiors. And fourthly, Your
31:25
Speaker 8: parents ought to cut your check off. Anyone issuing a
31:30
Speaker 8: threat like that in this time, in wartime like we're
31:33
Speaker 8: at right now, you would be considered a direct threat
31:36
Speaker 8: to the government.
31:36
Speaker 3: Right.
31:37
Speaker 8: Governor Schwarzenegger would pull out the National Guard and your
31:41
Speaker 8: campus would be surrounded and then you would really find
31:44
Speaker 8: out what combat's all about.
31:45
Speaker 3: Look, Dick, let's talk straight. I'm ready to eat my
31:48
Speaker 3: own guts.
31:48
Speaker 1: What do you mean, Dick?
31:51
Speaker 3: Ain't his name Richard?
31:52
Speaker 4: Huh?
31:54
Speaker 3: Don't they call you Dick?
31:55
Speaker 8: No, I've never gone by that nickname. That is not
31:57
Speaker 8: my nickname.
31:59
Speaker 3: Rich?
32:00
Speaker 8: No, my name is Richard.
32:01
Speaker 3: Richie.
32:02
Speaker 1: Richard.
32:04
Speaker 3: Rick?
32:05
Speaker 5: Richard.
32:05
Speaker 8: Now, you also have a hearing problem, too.
32:09
Speaker 9: Well.
32:10
Speaker 8: You're very disrespectful. You do not sound like any military cadet,
32:14
Speaker 8: military student I've ever known.
32:16
Speaker 3: I'll try to be as respectful as I can, sir.
32:18
Speaker 3: Would you please tell me, sir, where you buy your chaw?
32:22
Speaker 3: My what? Your chaw.
32:25
Speaker 8: I do not use tobacco products.
32:27
Speaker 3: Is that what chaw is?
32:28
Speaker 1: Well, why do you keep asking that question?
32:31
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what chaw is. All I hear
32:32
Speaker 3: is guys that sound like that usually have a big
32:35
Speaker 3: wad of brown stuff in their cheek.
32:37
Speaker 8: What am I sounding like?
32:38
Speaker 3: Well, I mean like with a southern style accent. I
32:42
Speaker 3: know a lot of guys here who are from down south.
32:45
Speaker 3: They're some of the best Americans we have. But they're
32:48
Speaker 3: always talking about cramming backy in their pipe.
32:51
Speaker 8: No, I do not use tobacco products. And I try
32:54
Speaker 8: to respect my elders and respect my superiors. And obviously
32:58
Speaker 8: that is not something that you've been taught.
33:01
Speaker 3: What branch of the military were you in?
33:03
Speaker 8: I was in the United States Navy.
33:05
Speaker 3: Okay, what kind of weapon is this?
33:08
Speaker 1: Hey, look at that kid.
33:09
Speaker 8: That's a video recording of something that in your wild
33:13
Speaker 8: imagination you've dreamed up. That is no weapon. That's just
33:17
Speaker 8: something you've dreamed up.
33:18
Speaker 3: No, I didn't dream it up. That's an actual recording
33:21
Speaker 3: of a weapon that... shoot it off in Iraq, killing ragheads. Oh, yeah.
33:26
Speaker 8: How do you know that? Do you really and truly
33:29
Speaker 8: believe that?
33:29
Speaker 3: Because a kid got it off the Internet. He said
33:31
Speaker 3: he recorded it as it was being shooted off. A kid.
33:35
Speaker 3: A kid. A kid.
33:38
Speaker 5: A kid.
33:39
Speaker 8: A 16-year-old kid. You need to learn some discipline, young man.
33:42
Speaker 8: You need to be stood up and run through a
33:44
Speaker 8: belt line is what you need.
33:45
Speaker 3: Anybody can go to the Internet and find it.
33:48
Speaker 8: Do you believe everything you see on the Internet?
33:52
Speaker 3: Richard, I want to give you the respect you deserve.
33:55
Speaker 3: I bet you used to be a badass in the Navy.
33:58
Speaker 8: No, I was a hospital corpsman. I've done everything I
34:00
Speaker 8: could to save people.
34:01
Speaker 3: You're probably wearing a wife beater with flab hanging off
34:04
Speaker 3: your underarms.
34:05
Speaker 1: Play again?
34:06
Speaker 2: Well, look, don't even repeat it. All you're doing tonight, kid,
34:09
Speaker 2: is dropping the one-liners. Just dropping the one-liners.
34:13
Speaker 1: You know what?
34:13
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of you and your military cadet buddies.
34:16
Speaker 2: The people of Altadena shouldn't be afraid. And Commandant Wireman,
34:19
Speaker 2: you guys ought to go back up there and ask
34:20
Speaker 2: him what he means. Because I think you clowns have
34:23
Speaker 2: got it so screwed up. What do you mean bend
34:25
Speaker 2: the community to your will?
34:27
Speaker 1: He probably said no. He doesn't want paintball. And no
34:30
Speaker 1: means no.
34:30
Speaker 2: And you jackasses go back to the dorm and start
34:33
Speaker 2: cooking stuff up.
34:35
Speaker 5: Well, Phil, you know, it.
34:36
Speaker 8: All boils down to the fact that he's just a spoiled,
34:38
Speaker 8: rotten little kid.
34:39
Speaker 5: And more than likely, had.
34:40
Speaker 8: He ever publicly issued a threat like that, he would
34:44
Speaker 8: have been arrested as a terrorist.
34:45
Speaker 3: Okay, listen to this.
34:46
Speaker 8: So that threat was never issued. What's that, a recording?
34:50
Speaker 3: I can do that too, young man. Oh, so in
34:52
Speaker 3: other words, you're not kidding me?
34:54
Speaker 8: You don't scare me one bit because, first off, everything
34:57
Speaker 8: you're saying is a lie.
34:59
Speaker 3: Had you publicly issued that threat.
35:04
Speaker 8: You would currently be in jail.
35:05
Speaker 3: If you were a medical corpsman in the Navy, what
35:07
Speaker 3: was the worst thing you heard? Like a whale yelling
35:11
Speaker 3: or something?
35:14
Speaker 1: Hold on. 1-800-449. See you, Dick.
35:17
Speaker 4: The Phil Henry Show is back. 1-800-449-8686. We can go
35:21
Speaker 4: to Disneyland.
35:23
Speaker 2: Hold on for a minute. I want to just give
35:24
Speaker 2: Richard the final word. Thank you for hanging on, Richard.
35:26
Speaker 2: Go ahead, sir.
35:29
Speaker 8: You created a good one here. This guy's a hoot.
35:33
Speaker 3: Yeah?
35:36
Speaker 8: He has no discipline of any kind of military cadet.
35:39
Speaker 8: I doubt he's even in military school.
35:41
Speaker 3: Oh, well, so you think I made up, huh?
35:44
Speaker 8: He doesn't have the correct English dictation.
35:47
Speaker 3: Well, maybe you're imaginary friends. 1-800-449-8686. Pilot High and Deep.
