[Music]
the we were so
close there was no room
we bled
inside each
others we all had
C the same
dis and we all
sign the songs of
[Applause]
be all right welcome back the program
one of seven Melanie there who passed
away last year and that was her anthem
to Woodstock and um great song and it's
Edwin Hawkins singers that Edwin Haw
Hawkins singers uh that teamed up with
Melanie for that song way back when um
anyway 508 9960 500 is our phone number
and um a lot of things going on I guess
um many of you are so just broken up
over Joy Reed being fired from MSNBC
last night was or last night from what I
read and
[Music]
um who's the other one the woman that's
on there I can't even think of her name
off the top of my head um I guess she
went on a rant last night
uh oh what the hell is her name I can't
even think of her name off top my head
but that shows you how often I watch
MSNBC and um so I guess there going to
be some changes over at MSNBC some big
changes happening in the media Lester
Holt
retired and
[Music]
um there are reports that um disy
called out the gals of The View kind of
slapped them all and told him to
you know kind of back down on their uh
their constant criticism of the Trump
Administration so um there are folks out
there that are beginning to understand
that going against the will of the
people uh in their mandate is just not
good for business and you know for I
mean God for 10 years the same old drum
beat I just actually saw I almost Di I
was choked on my coffee a couple of
seconds ago I'm watching uh the news
here while I'm rifling through my is the
late Rush limbo used to say my my big
stack of stuff and um Chuck Schumer's on
TV upchuck upchuck and he's on TV saying
we Democrats
want government efficiency just without
the chaos of Elon Musk and I'm thinking
to myself the Democrats have been in
control for how long and they haven't
given us any government efficiency so
why all of a sudden are they fought
government efficiency and against Elon
Musk just doesn't make sense to me but
nothing makes sense interesting to
listen to Jim Carville um you know Jim
Carville is one of those senior guys
right senior guys he was a big adviser
with the clintons and all of that back
in the early 90s and he's kind of put
out to pasture the Young Bucks don't pay
a whole lot of attention to Jim Carville
although the the news networks still
bring them out the cable news networks
bring them out and they need a guest and
um and they put him on TV but and excuse
me but Jim Carville anyway uh has been
talking about how the Democrat Party is
so out of step with the people and I
mean he's a Democrat strategist he made
his his living in his career as a
Democrat strategist he's saying what we
are so far out of step of the American
people it's not funny and again he's
pushing the same theory that he was
pushing after the election was over and
what he's saying is we need to step down
we need to be quiet we need to just go
away for a while so we need to go away
he said Trump's got 52% approval rating
so constant barrage of everybody going
out there pounding on Trump is working
against us the people like this guy and
the people like his policies the things
that he's working on maybe just not here
in Massachusetts I don't know so what
he's saying until Trump's numbers drop
into the upper 30s or low 40s we need to
just quote unquote roll over and play
dead and there's some good solid advice
from Jim Carville but you think
anybody's going to listen to that of
course they're not of course they not
um we're getting a word just coming over
the TV right now of a near Miss at
Chicago's Midway Airport today uh crazy
stuff going on with with plane travel
you know what maybe they'll drop the
fees I've got a flight book so hopefully
they'll drop the fees and I'll get a
break on my uh on my I mean you know air
travel is safe by comparison to any
there are hell of a lot more car
accidents and bus accidents and and and
stuff like that than there are plane
crashes so um it's it's safe don't uh
let all the stuff get to you but U is
that I'm trying to see what is that
looks like a Southwest there I can't
tell what the other one is maybe a Delta
I don't know but this some video here of
a uh near Miss at Chicago's Midway
Airport today you ever landed
mid Midway I'm not sure if I ever landed
at Midway I've been yeah Southwest is
Southwest is one of the
planes and I couldn't really tell what
the other one was the uh looks like the
Southwest plane came down it was
actually about it was about to be
touched down on the
runway and had to pull up at the last
second as another plane was crossing the
runway a small much smaller plane I
can't tell if it's a Delta plane or or
what it is from from this distance but
um anyway a newly elected uh
conservative School Board member in
Frederick County
Maryland beautiful place you ever been
to Frederick County Maryland it's
beautiful down there
um claims that he was unfairly put under
investigation after speaking out against
the district's transgender affirming
policy guy's name is Colt
black sounds like a country singer or uh
I know maybe a soap oper star something
I don't know Colt
black Colt
black he's a Republican and father of
three in Frederick County he was elected
to the County Board of Education last
November his term had barely begun when
he said he was put under the Title Nine
investigation for comments he made at
the board's January 8th public meeting
at that meeting black expressed concerns
that board policy 443 which compels
students and School staff to use
students transgender pronouns and
names violates free speech and freedom
of Association rights under the First
Amendment so this how dare he this new
uh school committee man
challenge board policy 443 which compels
students and staff to use students
transgender pronouns and
names he says it violates free speech
and freedom of Association rights under
the First Amendment and he's right
obviously he's right there's no question
he's right um You Can't compel me to say
anything under the under the First
Amendment or or you know I'm protected
free speech I don't have to address you
by your
pronouns um I don't have to address you
any way that I don't want to address you
um black recommended the board follow
the guidance established in the 1943
Supreme Court case West Virginia State
Board of Education versus Barnett in
that case the high court rule that com
uh compelling public school students to
salute the American flag or recite the
Pledge of Allegiance was a violation of
their first amendment rights and again
that is true also you can't compel
somebody to salute the flag or
to or to um sing the national anthem or
[Music]
um recite the Pledge of Allegiance you
can't force people to do that if they
don't want
to I mean you can look at them with the
the old hairy eyeball if you want to but
you can't force people to do that this
is America you don't have to do that if
you don't choose to um that's a 1943
Supreme Court ruling and I mean the same
is true of um you know you can't make me
you can't make me call you he she they
is but you know whatever they that
that's your choice if you want to be
called that that's fine if you've got
pronouns or you have a uh gender
referring Identity or whatever that's
absolutely fine that's your
constitutional right to do
that but no school board no school rule
no school district rule can compel me to
have to call you by that
name as long as I'm respectful to you
right there should be no problem
um but anyway that's the rule so this
guy's under federal
investigation he's under federal
investigation Title 9 investigation
because he refused to um call students
and School
staff uh by their transgender pronouns
and
names which is his
right he said I'm not sitting here
saying that you can't come to school and
be who you are you should be able to do
that but at the same time people should
not have to be forced to participate
with their
language just one week after after
making these comments black was informed
that the board had received multiple
complaints alleging his comments had
violated the title 9 uh law and that the
board had launched an investigation to
see whether his comments had violated
the non-discrimination policy title N9
signed into law in 1972 by Richard Nixon
was intended to prevent sex
discrimination in educational programs
that receive federal funds and obviously
that's a good policy and back in 1972
when I was 14 years old uh it was a very
different world than it is today um if
you were gay you had no rights if you
were a woman in 1972 if you were a woman
you couldn't even get a credit card
unless your husband signed off on it I
can you imagine that um so there were
very different things going on back in
1972 And we needed laws to to protect
people uh based on um gender and race
and so on and so forth uh but in
during the Biden Administration this was
expanded to allow new protections for
gender identity as well which is not
protected or guaranteed under the
um under the Constitution specifically
based on gender I mean the Constitution
protects everybody equally right that's
how it's been amended to protect
everybody equally nobody is
discriminated against any discrimination
is illegal in this country so when you
pass laws or you
amend something like Title 9 to include
gender or whatever um You're simply
pandering because the law already covers
that law already covers that
um The Legal Group Alliance defending
Freedom
ADF sent the school board a letter on
Black's behalf warning them to drop the
investigation and accuse the board of
unconstitutional retaliation against the
Republican for exercising his Free
Speech rights
so we'll see how that plays out if I get
anything on more on that
um in the weeks ahead I'll pass it on to
you 50899 60500 thanks for hanging on
you're up next on
wbsm hey there how's it going hi you
were bringing up uh James Carville and
uh he's been kind of interesting to
follow because um uh it seems like the
Democrats don't have like centralized
messaging and they're sort of doing
whatever they want to do you know
protest on the street you know sing
songs all this other stuff and he was
very vocal about a week ago um you know
stop doing that you know and you're
embarrassing you know everybody stop it
and then now this week as you pointed
out he's telling everyone to sit back
and and watch what happens and you know
Trump's going to implode on himself and
we're going to take over well the funny
part is is who's going to take over
James because there is no Collective de
Democratic Leadership and he makes that
point too he says there is no leadership
right now so I mean you look like a
bunch of damn fools out there right and
if they sit back you know Trump just
needs to click off you know a few more
wins um you know you and I will disagree
on his messaging a bit uh but you know
but but you know but considering the
totality of what's going on in the last
month um it's it's it's all winning I
mean they're all OPP they just had a a
Harvard um I can't remember his Harvard
poll came out and you know he's ticked
up on all the issues that people wanted
him to to deal with I think the only
negative one was um elf of America was
the only negative um I think there
people didn't understand it and thought
it was just an overreach but uh car
carville's um you know I don't know that
they would listen to him because um but
there there's no leader that I can see I
mean I've listened to a couple of uh
videos from the new uh DNC chair and
he's kind of a young sort of Dopey guy I
he doesn't really have a good message
and you know he you know I don't know
it's going to be interesting so yeah
well you know the thing with with people
like Jim Carville is um you know the
torch gets passed and you get put out to
pasture and and the young people all
know better right it's like when you're
raising kids by the time they're what 12
13 they know more than you've ever known
in your entire life and um yeah so I
mean it's like that when you get the
aoc's out there and all the Young Bucks
that are uh you know that are trying to
take over the show and run the show and
and what does Jim Carville know he does
doesn't know anything and you know the
guy is actually pretty smart I disagree
with his politics um I like his demeanor
cuz he's mean and nasty like me but um
you know he says it like he feels it and
I don't agree with it all the time but
he says it like he feels it I don't like
people that you know beat around the
bush say tell me exactly what you're
trying to get to my wife gets so
frustrated because she goes to tell me a
story and I give her those eyes and she
you know she knows it's like cut to the
chase here cut all that crap out and get
to the point then you can tell me all
the other stuff but I mean you know Jim
but they dismiss people like Jim caral
and Jim Carell's got experience he knows
what he's talking about he advised Bill
Clinton it's the economy stupid he
advised Bill Clinton move to the center
and um you see more hey moving to the
center now becoming more of a Centrist
on on some things it's good advice it's
old school advice you know like uh gee
um why don't we you know let's get rid
of the train gee that was a great idea
right so now we can spend a billion
dollars to bring the train back you know
because you get new people with with new
ideas that know everything and they're
smarter than the old people and um and
um so I think people would do well to
listen to Jim carel and um and focus on
you know essentially just get out of
Dodge for a while and you know let
people forget about you for a while and
um and rebuild silently come out with
some some potential leaders come out
with some um ideas that are interesting
to the people except you know trans and
uh you know uh in windmills and stuff
like that come out with some things that
the people can buy into and um that's
that's kind of the problem that he
pointed out is that you know like the
governor of um Maine trying to fight
that excuse me fight that battle with
Trump at the governor's meeting and it
it was like he he commented he said what
are you doing he says nobody cares about
this this is a you know kind of pimple
on a Nats you know what um issue and and
you know it's and he basically said that
the whole transgender playing sports
with in women sports is going to die I
mean it's it's you know it's trajectory
is down to out and he says so fighting
that battle only makes you it brings
everyone back to why Trump was elected
instead of saying you know you know it's
like why is she fighting this battle
during a Governor's meeting it's
like so anyway well I mean it's all
about people you know they're out there
tilting at windmills and you know again
they don't have anything but they they
need to pretend that they are relevant
and um when you pretend you're relevant
the people see right through and they
know you're not Rel and they know you
need to shut up and go away and and and
but you know carville's Point here is
let Trump self-destruct caral obviously
thinks Trump is going to self-destruct
I'm not sure about that I say you know
the jury's still out on that he may you
never know um but um let him do it and
if he does it then we can come riding in
on the White Horse but in the meantime
his numbers are high people love the
things he's doing in the five weeks that
he's been in so let him go at it for a
while and then we'll be there to pick up
the pieces afterwards so I know who's
going to listen to yeah I think yeah I
think uh Trump is going to uh he's got
such a strong team around him and that's
really key to anybody to be successful
um the the question is the messaging
because PE people the average person
listening to the messaging um it's
really tough because he's trying to get
a lot done and and he's making things
happen and and other there's um you know
It's just tough to to to communicate to
every individual the way they want to be
communicated to is the best way to put
it well I mean it's like Chuck Schumer I
mentioned before Chuck Schumer's on TV
earlier in the in the well of the Senate
and he's talking about uh you know we
need to uh Democrats were all for
government efficiency just not musk
chaos well why haven't you given us
government efficiency until now I mean
so if you're all for it how come we've
never seen it before you sound like an
idiot out there I can leave you with
government efficiency in one sentence
then I'll leave you Nancy Pelosi said
the sentence she said let's pass the
bill to see what's in it that's govern
that's what the Democrats version of
govern efficiency is absolutely thank
you my friend appreciate it 508 996 0500
is the number and we go this way your
next n wbsm thanks for hanging on Hey
Barry how you doing good how are you ah
not bad spring is coming yes
yes you know the Democrats that's been
they've been hijacked for a long time
now by the radical left you know they
alienate the M like Joe Mansion uh he
got out of the party he's an independent
telsey gabber D they came after her she
was too moderate RFK Jr and then uh New
York city mayor Eric Adams wanted to
clean up the mess he went to Washington
with Governor uh Kathy hokel and Joe
Biden told Eric Adams be a good
Democrat uh you know this two Show Pass
do as you're told and he didn't want to
do that and then he got punished uh and
he's a he's becoming more and more of a
Centrist and working with Trump and Tom
uh Tom Homan to clean up the uh the
crime and the uh illegal alien crisis so
that's uh James carille he needs to take
his head out of his butt instead of
rolling over and scratching the you know
the fleas off his belly you know well I
think Jim Carville is right though I
think what what he's telling his party
is just you're you're not relevant right
now you've got no leaders just back out
and and and disappear for a while and
until you can re and put some new people
out there that have a message I mean
he's he's saying exactly what you're
saying there's no message here there's
no leaders just get out of town for a
while and and disappear let people
forget about you and then come back the
new and improved Democrat Party well
well Steve from fre toown is right who
are they going to replace him with more
radical left the American people are fed
up well they would be rejected then but
that's see again that's what carille
even Stephen A Smith this is what
they're saying the people even Bill
Maher you know they're all saying that
the people rejected you they don't want
you they don't want your message they
don't want your policies they don't want
your programs so you've got to get out
of here and you've got to figure out
something new you got to move to the
center that's where most politicians and
most uh you know people think Donald
Trump is a radical conservative he's not
he is Donald Trump is more of a Centrist
than anything balanced budgets you know
cutting government waste that's not that
is not radical right-wing that is so
middle of the road
moderate you know there's only one
problem the the the leadership of the
Democrats are Marxist uh their Marxist
Democrats and anyone that is trying to
go moderate uh they run out of town yeah
they're uh they're punished they're
driven out like I said you know Joe
Mansion uh that's only to name a few
telsey gab Ark Jr Eric Adams and there's
probably others I might not remember
right now but Elon Musk
Elon Musk was a Dem musk too yeah right
yeah so you have the leadership or the
power Brokers of the democratic party
that are so far left Marxist Democrats
that uh anyone that's going to come
close to being Center they they've been
driven out of town they got nobody yeah
absolutely nobody nobody wants them 52%
approval rating for Mor healing I mean
that sounds they just past cut and past
the number of uh Donald Trump he's at a
52% approval where do they get the
sample anyway I don't know but I I'll
tell you what Donald Trump just went
through an election recently and he got
a mandate he got a mandate in the
popular vote and in the electoral vote
and uh so his 52% is believable I in
fact I think it's probably even higher
when you hand me 52% for more to heal
you with all of the the crises that
she's had in this state I can't believe
she's got 52% although it at all what is
it college students from Square many of
them that that live out of state I mean
you know you got you got they don't know
what the hell they're doing you got
Brooklyn you got you got Brooklyn you
got Cambridge you got Somerville you got
all that area up around Boston it's all
blue to the core and uh probably always
will be and um I don't believe it at all
that
52% that's completely made up that's
propaganda you know we have the highest
energy uh we have the highest energy
cost in the nation I'd even dare say
even higher than Hawaii and they're an
island all of all of the energy has to
be brought in by ship uh here we are
highest insurance in the nation highest
cost of living in the nation yeah but
they're not here's the problem is moraal
is Teflon all of this stuff is just
sliding off of her with her supporters
you know they they blame car bagger from
New Hampshire C bger from New Hampshire
well they they blame everything on
somebody else or something else is never
more healing SP like I got a poll over
here today too
75% of Democrats believe that the Border
crisis in which so many boorder people
came across that border illegally under
Biden was an accident that it wasn't an
intentional plan can you believe that
but I mean that's how you know that's
how people think um you know when when
when when you have partisan politics it
just blows me away thank you my friend I
got to hold you 50899 60500 we got to do
the break and we're coming right back
after this
going
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
break 133 on a Tuesday 508 996
0500 and um got a federal
judge dismissing an appeal from
Massachusetts
parents um who thought their child's
school should have informed them of the
students gender queer quote unquote
gender queer
identity federal judge dismissing an
appeal from a Massachusetts parent or
Massachusetts parents who thought that
their child's school should have
informed them of their school of their
children's um um gender queer identity
this decision upholds a lower court
decision
too it's unbelievable so you send your
kid off to school right you send uh you
know Marie off to school and she takes
on the name Butch while she's in school
and um you know everybody's calling him
his him and all this kind of crap right
and the school doesn't notify you of
that yeah child you drop your child off
in school all of a sudden your child's
identity
changes and they don't think that that's
an issue that they use that they need to
call you on
Marissa
sylvestri Steven
foot parents of the child who was at the
time 11 years
old filed a lawsuit in US District Court
against School District employees in the
town of lllo Massachusetts after they
weren't informed that their 11-year-old
child is going by a different name
and a variety of pronouns at school
beginning of the year 2020 so you got an
11-year-old kid 11-year-old kid uh you
know is sitting there in the in the
classroom I remember when I was in
school I don't know about when you were
in school you sitting there in the
classroom and the teacher call you name
out for ATT tendance right okay um okay
Marie I'm not Marie I'm Butch well it
says here you're Marie well no I'm Butch
I want to be called
Butch okay we'll call you butch no
problem nice tattoo on your forehead
Butch um and they don't feel there's a
problem with that I mean if your kid
goes to school and
changes his or her name from what what
they were entered in the school as at 11
years old you don't consider that to be
some kind of like a mental health issue
that you need to contact the parents and
say hey um thums up with your kid you
want to come to school to meet with us I
mean that's the way they used to do it
back in the day guess you don't do that
anymore 11-year-old
parents say they were not informed of
their child going by a different name
and a variety of pronouns at school at
the center of the suit was lllo Public
Schools protocol of not informing
families of a student's gender identity
without that student's consent so a kid
at 11 years old guess you start making
decisions or consenting to what the
school informs your parents
about I wonder if that's true across the
board I wonder if the kids are pain in
the ass and you know they call the
parents hey your kids being in a pain
and they Ash going to come to school I
mean do you need to get the kids consent
for that since when do we start checking
in with 11y olds by the way uh to make
important decisions like that since when
do we I mean this world has gone
nuts well you're 11-year-old child you
know didn't give consent to call you and
and and and and inform you that that she
is now acting like a man and has changed
changed her name but um you know hey
that's her right you give me a
break so this policy that the lbo public
school
system um is operating
under comes from the guidance issued in
the
2012 by the state department of
Elementary and secondary education to
invoid to avoid gender
discrimination because we don't want to
discriminate against no 11-year-old kid
that doesn't want to be Marie
anymore you know you wonder why kids are
such screw balls not all of them but a
lot of them are cry spaces and all this
other kind of stuff can't
function um in normal
situations no kid at 11 years old should
be making a decision about his or her
gender or what they want to be called in
school and what the pronouns are I am
sorry no kid at 11 years old at 11 years
old you don't have that kind of you
don't have that kind of authority over
yourself your parents are in charge of
you right and when you're in the uh when
you were in in in the care of the school
department the school department is in
charge of
you and if you don't do what the school
department tells you to do they call
your parents your parents come to
school now all of a sudden letting 11
years old yeah 11y old kids change their
name in school and the gender identity
and that's okay that that is acceptable
under the policy that has been put
forward by the Massachusetts Department
of Elementary and secondary
education deese advised districts to
accept a student's stated
gender and in light of any potential
safety concerns at home counselors and
teachers should defer to how the student
wants to be referred to in written
communication with parents according to
the
judge it's just groovy it gets better
all the
[Music]
time the parents assert that Low's
practice of accommodating and concealing
their child's requested name and
pronouns while at school interferes with
their parental rights as guaranteed by
the United States
Constitution L counters that the um its
protocol its protocol is appropriate and
necessary to ensure a safe and inclusive
school learning environment for students
sure all the kids should go to school
and change their name and the gender
preference and start demanding that
everybody call them by different pronos
I mean that that keeps for a safe and
well-balanced school right doesn't it
the
um the courts have ruled that the
parents didn't prove that the school's
policy violated their fundamental right
to direct the upbringing of their child
or what more evidence do you
need what more evidence do you
need look you know that 11-year-old kid
you are the responsibility of that 11y
old kid right now look if that 11y old
kid goes to school and has a black eye
oh my god do they they're going to be
all over you that 11-year-old has a
bruise on his or her body they're going
to be all over you the state's going to
be knocking on your door deese not Dee
but uh what's the the U um
the state the state po the state people
there that children abuse children and
all that they're knocking on your door
threatening to take the kid away
threatening to take you away all kinds
of stuff but the kid can go to school
tell the teacher don't call me Marie
anymore I want to be called Butch and I
but they can't tell the parent can't
tell the parent because an 11-year-old
has rights too when you have an 11year
old that 11y old everything that child
does with the exception of breathing
is at your
pleasure right you decide when that kid
goes to bed you decide when that what
that kid's going to eat because you're
paying for it you decide who that kid is
going to hang out
with you decide everything for that kid
11 years old you are in charge of that
kid you are responsible for that kid
under the law but let the kid go to
school and the kid um the kid's in
charge now kid can change his or her
name can do anything they want and um
and you have no say in it and the school
does not have to inform you of that kind
of behavior absolutely bizarre stuff
50899 60500 inxn
wbsm hi Barry hi it is bizarre but uh
luckily there's less and less bizarre
these days and one less bizarre thing
that's on the um Airwaves is Joy Reed
Hallelujah she's gone yeah what a happy
day that is for me because she was just
an insane person I can honest tell you
I've never seen her show I have no idea
I've never seen her show but I have seen
her cuts from her show on news Max and
she is a complete and utter idiot I mean
like a crazy Lon bag she's really like a
racist she's horrible she was horrible
and you know to think that her show was
important yeah your show was really
important to you but not to anybody else
but that's one good thing but you know I
have to laugh because um I don't watch
Network news at all but but once in a
while I'll tune in just to see what's
going on so the other day I said let me
tune in to Fox 25 in Boston what they
call themselves your local news station
and I had to laugh because yesterday
they were like so far on the left
everything was like one side of that I
call their news department and gave him
a piece of my mind and then I watched
again today it was a little better but
yet they had Mara Healy on and you know
I have to laugh at her she was like uh
upset with Tom homman that he's coming
back and saying that he needs to dial it
back because you know we have a lot of
people who were here illegals who are
hard work immigrants who are hardworking
and paying taxes and you know he
shouldn't be going after them well guess
what brainstorm that's not who he's
going after he's going after the Harden
criminals and then she's talking about
Elon Musk um that Elon Musk with the
cuts that he's going to make is going to
kill people it's going to kill jobs and
you're going to kill people they you
know these Democrats I'm telling you
when you really listen to them and you
listen to what comes out of their mouths
you just have to say are these people is
there something wrong with them and
there is something wrong with them
killing people she's not worried about
letting criminals hardened criminals out
of jail well look you know the the
problem the problem is that the you know
you can say anything you want and and
the Publican can you know base its
decision upon what they hear and their
own views and all that but when you have
something like that going on
and you know when Mor hey says to the
reporter of Channel 5 channel 25 you
know that um
um Homan needs to dial it back a the
rhetoric back a bit um the reporter
needs to say you know what about
you four years ago when you filed a
hundred lawsuits against Donald Trump
you called him this name that name and
the other name did you feel that you
should have maybe dialed it back a
little bit but the Press doesn't they
just gobble the stuff up with a spoon
and and throw it out there because it's
controversial but they haven't got the
brain power to blow themselves to Hell
collectively so they have no idea even
how to report news yeah the only time
that they get a little tough is when it
sweeps and you know what sweeps are if
for you're listener sweeps are basically
the rating period which happens I
believe for television two times a year
so when you see on TV all of a sudden
news reporting hard reporting we're
going to report on this that's during
sweeps when the ratings are going on
that's the only time they do it because
they're looking for people to tune in so
they can increase their ratings but
other than that I used to love it when
Channel 12 used to do stuff like you
know toilet seat up in the rectory you
know tune in tonight at at 11 o'clock
and find out what's going on you know
yeah and that's the only time so when
you know the media and how they work
it's kind of comical but I was so
disappointed in channel 25 and I watch
because I like Gan lansche I knew his
sister and his mother they used to own
the curtain store and for Haven
beautiful wonderful people wonderful
people people and he's wonderful but I
mean he's just you know he he does his
job and does what he's told to do but
you know Fox 25 News they just like
everybody else it's all fluff it's
one-sided and they are definitely you
know way to the left um well because
they don't have any real reporters there
there's nobody in that business that
knows anything about reporting there's
no news going on on any of these
stations none of these stations
Providence Boston none of these stations
are doing any news I mean I you know
that that's not how you do news
and and there's no inquisitiveness
there's no investigation there's nothing
and and this the content is just
absolutely uh you know abysmal so I mean
that's what it is you get what you pay
for and that's why nobody watches that
garbage anymore thanks Kathy I got to
hold you I'm up against the tight break
and I got to got you got to get it in
we're coming right
[Music]
back all right welcome back of the
program John Anderson from back in the 0
se0 wind and a little bit later on from
that uh James Taylor had a version of
that but I like John Anderson's a lot
better so um in any event welcome about
back to the program a lot of things
going on the White House Press Secretary
uh levit just finishing her news
conference and seems like a lot of
things were uh were covered in it um I
didn't obviously get a chance to hear
any of it but every now and then
something would come up on the screen so
um I guess there's still some
consternation over who will be and who
should be
in The Press Room and who should have
access to various press briefings and so
on and so forth and you know I just it
amazes me that the thought that some of
these folks in the so-called Legacy
Media or the elite media uh have this
feeling that that they have a Birthright
um you know CNN has a Birthright to be
you know there was a time when there was
no CNN and there was a time when there
was no Fox News and they didn't have a
Birthright they weren't born into a seat
in the Press briefing room you get
credentials and if you meet the um you
meet the criteria and you and you
um and you behave well then then you get
to go regularly but if you're just um I
don't know if you if if you're
antagonistic and and there are other
media groups out there now that weren't
out there before you get so many
different groups online at bloggers and
and different things like that that
really are in touch with the people a
lot more than NBC news or CBS or any of
these failing networks are I mean CNN
the traffic light out here at the Conor
gets more views than the uh than CNN
does now an MSNBC so why should they
automatically get a seat there if you
got a blogger you know somebody like a
Joe Rogan that's reaching millions of
people all around the world shouldn't
they be given a seat in The Press Room I
mean times change things change right
newspapers are are pretty much uh you
know gone the way of the dinosaurs now
they're Obsolete and
um so should a newspaper automatically
be given a a seat in a press room
because they're the New York Times or
they're the whatever um or should the
media that that is more responsible and
the media that does reach more people
why don't they get a chance those other
media sources were shut out for so long
they were never allowed in and you know
now all of a sudden they are and some of
the others you know that that write
slanted news that write uh um false news
or fake news
they're getting kicked out and it's
about damn time
um I got so much stuff here I want to
get
into uh nothing I can really get into
right now but um we do have the
apprehension of migrants along the
Southwest border falling to a
historically low level on Friday it's
according to the Texas Department of
Public Safety agents encountered 199
migrants on Friday compared to 4,300 193
one year earlier on the same day that's
winning that is winning winning winning
winning and the Trump Administration
said to be looking at reinstating
chapter 42 the the law that allowed them
to keep people on the other side of the
Border while they await their amnesty
based on public health concerns they put
that in during the pandemic and it
worked
tremendously um in keeping people
out but this time because of measles and
because of other diseases
that folks are coming in with that we
don't know about it's um yeah so so that
looks like something that's going to
happen the Supreme Court already ruled
in favor of that they said it was legal
so they did that four years ago more
than four years ago Hey listen if you've
got issues with your hearing you don't
want to mess around with it you want to
get it checked out you know I've been a
patient of Duncan hearing healthcare for
many many years over a decade and
um they have done amazing things for me
I went to Duncan ing Healthcare um
really not knowing what to expect I
started using hearing
aids that were prescribed to me from
Duncan hearing Healthcare my God I was

wife how important is that right so I
went and it it's amazing what a
difference it made in my life how it
changed my life and you know with you're
not hearing everything that's going on
you tend to back away from conversations
maybe you don't get as um involved with
people because you don't want to be
embarrassed and have to keep saying what
was that what was that I didn't hear
that what was going on what so you just
kind of tend to avoid those connections
you don't want to do that you want to
stay in the game you want to hear what's
going on you want to be able to be
involved I honest to goodness before I
after I started wearing hearing aids I
heard birds singing across the street
from my house and I said to my wife oh

like to hear the birds I had no idea I
was missing it it just faded out of my
life and had no ideaas my hearing got

from tomorrow looking forward to that um
so I guess I'm according to a story on
Fox a frustration at Elon Musk among
some Republicans spilling over after
closed door house Republican meeting fed
to the wolf some Republicans are um um
are upset
they upet that um they don't have more
of a
role and that Elon Musk seems to have a
lot of power that's the position that
was created by the president it gives
him that power and that was
intentional and you know what these
Republicans have to understand is they
didn't do any of this either you know we
talk about the Democrats did nothing you
know Chuck Schumer says well we're for
government efficiency just not the musk
chaos well why did you do something you
didn't do anything so Trump comes in he
appoints a guy to do this he's doing it
he's doing it well and now everybody's
frustrated well we want you know what it
is they want the
headlines so I mean you know Republicans
can absolutely spy lot of control just
like the U um
