With this service, you could get all of your meds and have them delivered for one small monthly price. MonthlyfeeRx.com. Our Brian's Beat Quote of the Day comes from Greg Almond. Almond Brothers, Greg Almond. Yeah, Greg Almond. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not supposed to be married. Think he was married three, four, five times. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not supposed to be married. Greg Almond. He married Cher. That didn't last too long. So I mentioned earlier, I was at my high school reunion. One of the guys from the football team, a nice chap, some of you might say. His name is Dave. Having a conversation with Dave, and I say, hey, you know, I feel like playing some football right now. Tells me about a shoulder surgery that he's had and his aches and pains. And, you know, after going through that, somehow, some way, the conversation got up to the fact that he has been married five times. And in a couple of instances, his kids are all grown. But in a couple of instances, he's still paying alimony five times. Man, oh, man, it's alright. Five zero eight nine nine six zero five hundred is how you get onto the program today. I'm Brian. Welcome to Brian's beat. Well, I'm up. I'll tell you that much. A couple of things. We're going to go over to Studio six and seven eights in just a bit. Jim has an update about tomorrow's town square Sunday, which is only on one time tomorrow because Patriots pregame starts at 10 a.m. I do want to bring this up, though, and I want to try to be. I'm going to be me. That's what I have to be. I have to be me. You already know that I'm not voting for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. But there's something that happened over the past week, and it got accentuated yesterday on the campaign trail by 45. And here it is. And I'm going to I'm going to start by, I guess, doing the Kamala thing, and that would be. Well, it looks like she's now going to get down to North Carolina to survey some of the damage, because apparently she really hasn't been able to fit it into her campaign schedule to to get down into that area. OK, and Donald Trump has no ifs, ands or buts about it. He he has now I played the comment already about Donald Trump in in Georgia. Saying that he's not thinking about votes, it's a campaign stop, but he's telling us he's not thinking about votes. But here's what else. So after Georgia. He makes his way to North Carolina. And he got a standing ovation at a at a Coliseum. And apparently. He stated, you know, there there's Fort Bragg. Well, it's no longer called Fort Bragg. It's called Fort Liberty. You know, name change, political correctness, that kind of stuff, apparently. And I shouldn't say it like I didn't know this, because when it was coming up in conversation before, that's when I really found out that Fort Bragg was named after a Confederate general. OK, take it or leave it. It's been changed to Fort Liberty. But on the campaign trail, Donald Trump says, you know, when I'm reelected. He would work to get that name change back to Fort Bragg. Now, there are people in the audience. They're very happy about that. But I'm inclined to believe maybe you are, maybe you're not. That there are a lot of folk in North Carolina that don't want that. I guess what I'm trying to get at is here's a guy who is, you know, thinking about people not thinking so much about campaigning and votes. Isn't that kind of a campaign speech one way or the other? You know, you're going to tick off some people as well as you're going to get the the raucous crowd saying, yeah. The other thing that Donald Trump stated, and again, I definitely want to hear your opinion on this now, unless you've been sleeping under a rock and you couldn't get WBSM.com, you don't know about this. That would be the only way you would know about this. But apparently, and I say apparently, I know better, Donald, excuse me, Joe Biden, President Biden, he's warning Israel not to go on the offensive against Iran and go after Iran's nuclear facilities. And I don't know what state of mind Joe Biden is in, but I'd be saying the same thing, too. OK, now let's take that to the to the next step. What does former President Trump say about it? He says, isn't that what you're supposed to hit? So in other words, the Israelis should be hitting Iran's nuclear facility. And when they asked him that question, the answer should have been this is Donald Trump speaking. When they asked President Biden the question, he's saying when they asked him that question, the answer should have been hit nuclear first, worry about the rest later. I'm sure that's going to win some votes, doesn't want to vote for me. Not that I was going to vote for him anyway, not that it makes me want to vote for Kamala Harris. Because I'd be very interested to hear Kamala Harris's comment on first what President Biden stated and then her reaction to what Donald Trump is stating, because, man, my guess is only a guess. You would have a couple of oceans to cross to get those two on the same side just dealing with the nuclear. I think they both would like to see Iran knocked out of the park and they're rooting for Israel. By the way, the attack, I don't know if you heard me on with Barry. Barry was talking yesterday about insignificant damage that was done by the bombs. In fact, Barry said the majority of them didn't hit. And I turned around and I said to him, what are you talking about? Majority of them did hit. Now, my comment is based off of what I saw on video. Now, of the rockets that were launched that I saw on video, an overwhelming majority of them hit. I'm not sure if it was Israel or the United States or maybe some other military that knocked a few of them out of the sky. But the ones that were knocked out of the sky and hit wherever they hit were few and far between. The damage that was done was done to military and spy installations in Israel. So it's not like there wasn't any, I believe somewhere around 50 F-35, I've got it written down. But the Fs that come from the United States, fighter jets, five zero were damaged or destroyed. So that's not insignificant. It's going after things that could possibly do damage to Iran or Hezbollah or Lebanon. All right, five zero eight nine nine six zero five hundred to get onto the program. I brought this up during my news. That pause was me contemplating. I am so sorry. I said we were going to go to Studio six and seven eights and we're going to do that right now where Jim is going to tell us about tomorrow's Town Square Sunday. Good morning, Jim. Morning Brian. Good morning, everyone. Here's what's happening this week on Town Square Sunday. Candida Rose has entertained audiences in Greater New Bedford and beyond with her singing talents. Now she's written a book about the Cape Verdean culture that's influenced her career. We'll speak with Candida this week on Town Square Sunday. We'll also learn about the 19th annual Blount Fine Foods New Bedford Seaport Chowder Fest happening Saturday, October 12th on City Pier three. Fifteen local restaurants will be serving their delicious chowders, hoping to be crowned chowder king in twenty twenty four. And we've got the latest from the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center. Joe Ritter tells us about the documentaries film series that will return this month, along with a free maritime music event on October 10th and a new exhibit in November highlighting immigrant voices on the waterfront. I'm Jim Phillips. Join me this week for Town Square Sunday, Sunday morning at six on 1420 WBSM and ninety nine point five FM. Thank you, Jim. Sorry to hold you up there. We're going to get to the Bitcoin barometer in just a bit. But before we go down that particular road, let's go to you. It is a Saturday morning. The sun is trying its best and we should have some pretty nice temperatures getting up to maybe the low 70s today. Hello. Good morning. Good morning. Anyways, did you get your gold toe sneakers? Trump sneak. Did you hear about that? No. Oh, that's always on the radio announcement that they all sold out. We're going to get more and get you gold. So Trump's low toe Trump sneakers, they're gold. And why would I want that? I know I'm just kidding. I wonder what I wonder what what they sold them for. Oh, it's probably one of those campaign things. Money goes into his coffers. Yeah, but I think it's ridiculous. And also I think that he oversteps his boundaries too much. It's really not his position to go down to North Carolina. It's only to get votes. Well, look, I I have no problem with them going down there, but it is what it is. You know, it's a campaign stop. Campaign flyers up, you know, it it's hard to deny what it is. Just come out and say it is what it is or don't say anything at all. You know, you can you can feel sorry for the people. And I think he genuinely does. But don't say you're not thinking about votes because you are thinking about votes. He's always thinking about votes. Yeah, that's what I mean. That's what I don't like about him. You know, and well, what do you what did you think about the other thing that he stated? Well, about the nuclear. Oh, we have a law. No, he well, basically, President Biden says that he doesn't want Iran, excuse me, Israel to go after Iran's nuclear facilities. And. Trump retorted at a campaign stop yesterday, excuse me, wasn't a campaign stop because he says he wasn't thinking about votes, but he stated that Israel should be thinking about that bomb that first and then worry about the consequences afterwards. But that that is, in my words, I can get the official quote for you. Oh, not good. I I was listening to syndicate yesterday, and if we have a nuclear law, forget it. They were explaining about how one missile can split into so many different ones and it would be such a disaster. I don't even like to think about it, really, to be honest with you. I just think about God. Well, I think it would be a terrible fallout no matter what. What's worrying me right now is that we have 40,000, maybe more troops, whether they're on ships or on land. In Israel, in that area right now, and they are all in harm's way and quite frankly, rightly so. Right now, they're sitting ducks. I was talking to somebody yesterday at the pharmacy and I just I just had to laugh because his opinion was, why would you want to become president at 80 years old? And it's and the person was I was laughing. The person was saying it's because he just so he can steal more money. Look, I don't I would like to believe that is not why he's running. I don't know. He's crazy anyway, too. They are. I don't know. He's got people brainwashed and also like these sneakers. I mean, I've never seen anybody try to make money off the presidency like he is already, but they can't see that. They only see one way with him. Well, I. So he's making money before he may win. He may not win. What's the difference if you make money before or make the money afterwards, like the Clintons and the Obamas? Yeah, but they didn't do it on selling gold sneakers that says Trump on it. No, no, they didn't. But they they sell books and they're out getting campaign coffers filled. What do you think happens to all that money after they have decided not to run? Do you think they lose it all now? Everybody makes books, writes books a lot. A lot of them do. Yeah, that's more normal than the other thing. That's egotistical. The sneakers look cool. It just might be a new way of doing it. Yeah, I guess so. I don't know. May the best man win. So you want a man, not a woman, huh? No, I don't. I'm really serious. I mean, God is in charge anyway, really, to be honest with you. So I don't know. So you think God is in charge? Well, let me ask you this. Where would God vote? Where is he registered or she registered to vote? In heaven, in heaven. Do those votes up there count? Can we count them? All right. Thanks for the call. I do appreciate you to five zero eight nine nine six zero five hundred. Here's that quote. Trump dismissed comments by President Joe Biden, who cautioned this week that Israel should not attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Here's the quote. Isn't that what you're supposed to hit, said Trump? Second quote, when they asked him that question, the answer should have been hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later. Any thoughts on that, whether you're going to vote for him or not? That is not what I'm questioning. But basically, it sounds like he is, you know, if he were president, he would be authorizing Israel to go after Iran's nuclear facilities. Your thoughts? Five zero eight nine nine six zero five hundred. That's how you get onto the program. Yes, we are going to do the Bitcoin biz barometer right now. And as we measure the universal crypto marketplace, who we've had some some tumbling dice. Bitcoin down three thousand six hundred eleven dollars coming in this morning at sixty two thousand two. Twenty seven. Ethereum twenty four. Twenty five down more than two hundred fifty dollars. Finance coin. Five five nine. Down forty three. Solana at one hundred forty four dollars down a dozen bucks. XRP XRP is at fifty three cents. It's down a nickel. Dogecoin is even a ten cents ton coin, even at five dollars. And that's your Bitcoin biz barometer for today, October 5th, twenty twenty four. As always, I get my numbers from coin market cap dot com because coin market cap has the ability to update all of these numbers and many, many more. Every second of the day. All right, let's let's go back to your calls. Five zero eight nine nine six zero five hundred. Thank you for your patience. Good morning. Yeah. And that last call, who says she believes in God and at the same time she believes in murdering babies in the womb and out of the womb and people, they don't want to vote for Trump. But it's OK. They're going to vote for Kamala, who just gave Ukraine a one and a half billion American dollars. I thought it was one point seven billion and a lousy seven hundred and fifty dollars to the Americans who are suffering because of the hurricane. And you're on the fence to Brian. You need to be kicked off the fence. You're not voting for Kamala. You're not voting for Trump. You're going to waste your vote on nothing. You know what? Stop it. I don't tell you who to vote for. And I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I told you I'm voting for Chase Oliver. I'm a loyal libertarian. I'm on the state committee for libertarians, and I'm sure there might be a few libertarians that won't vote for Chase. But the majority of us are going to. Certainly, I don't know anybody that's on the board that won't be voting for Chase Oliver. So if you want to spool your wrath, at least, you know, do it in such fashion that you understand what the hell you're talking about. All right. That's all I ask. I don't care if you're upset. I understand you're a hyped up person. That's OK. But now you're trying to tell people who to vote for. And that to me. Just to me, maybe not others. That to me is un-American. Hey, hey, hey. Fifty three degrees in Dartmouth. Fifty eight in Carver. Fifty three in New Bedford. And I want to thank South Coast Towing because they allow us to use the WBSM app for F.R.E.E. free. And I love it. And I know you do, too. So there's a story I heard about earlier this week, and I said, I. I got to bring it up. I really do. So there's this guy. His name is Edmund Charette. He is accused of setting fire to a Chinese food restaurant in Lemonster back during the covid era. Now he has been locked up and a judge has declared him not competent to stand trial because something is going on upstairs. You know what I mean? So the prosecutor prosecutors in this particular case have decided, well, you know what? We want this guy to stand trial. And so. He has been put at a federal medical center in North Carolina and. A psychologist down there wrote. His competency to stand trial can be restored, can be restored with the appropriate treatment with anti psychotic medicine. He also goes on to say that Mr. Charette has refused to accept recommended medication treatment. On a voluntary basis. So what does the prosecutor want to do? The prosecutor wants to force these drugs, these anti psychotic drugs into Mr. Charette for the purpose of getting him to testify. And I my eyes just rolled back in my head. Have we gotten to this particular point in the United States that we're going to force feed drugs to somebody so they can testify in a court of law? Now, I'm not questioning this guy's guilt, but to me, two wrongs don't make a right. And all of a sudden you're going to. So what happens? You feed the guy drugs and he's going to what? What if what if he doesn't answer the way you want him to answer? Now, for whatever reason. The defense isn't really saying much, you know, the lawyers representing Mr. Charette, they're not really saying much at this particular time. There's going to be a court hearing on this. And this guy, Charette, he was already out on probation. In fact, I don't think anybody's questioning the fact that he is in.
