Speaker 1 (00:05):
All right, here we go, Welcome to the show. Nice
to have you here. I always said.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
These stories always catch my attention whenever I'm just sitting
here reading, because I'm in the radio business. Everybody knows
in radio is a very volatile business at times. Unless
you're like Ryan Seacrest or Clay Traviser buck Section. But
you know, the average run of the mill guys like myself,
you know, we're expendable. We could be taken out with
(00:31):
the next load of tray.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It just happens.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There's one day I walk in and they say, I'm sorry,
we don't need you anywhere. Thirty eight percent of companies
say in these economic times they lay people off instead
of firing them, just to avoid hurting their feelings. Evidently
they're very compassionate in these big companies pull of thirty
eight percent of companies sometimes lay people off instead of
firing them, just to avoid hurting feelings. Companies are so
(00:54):
passive aggressive. If you're gonna can me at least have
the courtesy look me in the eye and tell me
that I that's what people feel. But polled by the
website resume Builder found thirty percent of companies lay people
off instead of firing them just to avoid hurting the feelings.
Eighty percent of bosses said their company has laid off
people in the past year when they could have been
(01:16):
fired for cause, but instead they lay them off. Sometimes
it's out of kindness, like to avoid hurt feelings, but
the number one reason they do it and call it
a layoff is self serving. The bosses say secretly, we
don't hurt their feelings, but also to avoid mutiny. According
to the survey to Maintain Company Morales, sixty two percent
(01:38):
of bosses cited as a reason, I'm sorry, we just
have to downsize. We're trying to get rid of you,
but we don't want all your friends to be upset
that we fired just so we just have to lay
you off. We're so sorry. Also, they want to avoid
wrongful termination lawsuits. That was a close second. I I
surprise that's not first. And the regigious society, it's easier
to say we lay you off as opposed to you're
(01:59):
being terminated, because that could be a close second. To
help the person out of a severance package or to
give them a severance package, fifty four percent say yeah,
we'd like to give you a severance. Here you go
and thirty eight percent say, yeah, we lay them off
instead of firing because we don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
So we've been fired. I radio, Yeah, of course you
(02:20):
get fired in radio. It happened.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
They called it a layoff, they called it a downsizing.
We laid you off.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Now they can my ass Actually it was they went
on all syndication in the station. Only in the last
five ten years has ever gotten back to anybody being
local and maybe ten years said local, they went syndications.
That's been the trend. Everybody goes syndicated. Well, they can't
afford you, guys, they can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I digress.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Let's talk about something else, something else besides the industry here.
All right, Good to have you here on the show.
I played earlier some audio from my interview that I
did yesterday with Marine Callahan. Is very intriguing interview conversation,
and it ties into the Kennedys. And that's one of
(03:06):
the reasons I asked Tony Lyons in the last hour
when I interviewed him, who's running the super pack for
Robert F. Kennedy Junior? I asked him, what does Robert F.
Kennedy's response to some of these crazy stories out there
that Robert F. Kennedy has, the way he handled his
former wife who had actually committed suicide, the photos of him,
(03:27):
or the confession of him that he put a dead
bear into Central Park. I mean, weird stuff like that.
And Tony Lyons responded and said, those are just old
stories digging up stuff, and I can't understand. That's probably
the answer I would give as well, because you know,
the things that happened in the past, never judged the person.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know, look look to the future.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I get that, But I'm want to come back to
a little bit more because I want you to go
listen to this interview. I just found it so intriguing
the interview with Maureene Callahan that I did yesterday. It's
about it's about her book called Ask Not, and many
of you heard it in this hour, but I don't
play the snippet of it here because this is really fascinating.
It goes back to John F. Kennedy, probably the most
famous of the famous Kennedy's, and he talked extensively about
(04:09):
the affairs and the proclivities of John F. Kennedy and
the health of John F. Kennedy and how Jacqueline Kennedy
soon to become Jacqueline Kennedy O Nassas. He talked about
this interview yesterday that she talked about the interview yesterday
that Jackie Kennedy onassis after the death of John F.
Kennedy actually looking up formed a trauma bond with Bobby Kennedy.
(04:33):
A trauma bond that means they had relations. So yeah,
no joke, it's in the book. It's in the book.
But this is at Marin Callahana. She's talked to me
yesterday over and over again. The interviews up a Jimmy
Leakey dot com. She talked to me yesterday over and
over again. I kept thinking, Man, this is more than
just some husband had an affair not recommended, don't do it,
(04:54):
Please be faithful and loyal. But this isn't as if
this guy's, you know, flirting with the ladies at work
or you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Know what, had a one night stand. John F.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Kennedy was pretty prolific in his let's just say his dalliances,
and some of them were very, very controversial, and Jackie
Kennedy stayed there. She talked about the interview she stayed
with John F. Kennedy just because she didn't want to
have to be burdened with the fact that there would
never have been a John F. Kennedy presidency if she
had left him. So she kind of thought she was
(05:25):
taking one for the team, or taking one for the country.
But I asked Marie Callahan agreed to stick around for
a little bit extra time yesterday, and I said, Marien,
this is more than just a dude having an affair,
you know, meeting at the hotel motel after work with
a coworker or what, you know, whatever some guy might do.
This is more than that. This is like pornographic. This
is like a sexual addiction. This is this is the
(05:50):
stuff that is over the top. You have an addiction
in your life and you need some help. And I
asked Marien Callahan about that and John F. Kennedy because
it's in her boo book, and her book is called
ask Not Let Me play the audio. This is her answer,
And I said, Mareene, we've heard that John F. Kennedy
was a womanizer. We knew that he had a few
dalliants this year, But this is pornographic, the stuff he
(06:11):
engaged himself in and put people through around him was
more than just a few dalliances.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And here's what Maureen Callahan said.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I think this is so important, Jimmy, this point that
you have just touched upon. Imagine we learned that is
sitting US president today had a nineteen year old intern
stashed in the White House and was flying her around
the country, forcing her to perform sex acts or serve
(06:42):
as a sex toy for him. Because that's what he
did with Mimi. And there's been some criticism in quarters
that would be expected that this book is just a
rehashing of gossip and innuendo. Not so oh, that is
a way historically to minimize women's stories. No, less an
(07:05):
esteemed historian than Robert Dallak, who wrote an incredible JFK
biography called An Unfinished Life, said that Mimi's story was valid, credible,
and true and that it deserved to be part of
JFK's biography and the way in which future historians evaluate him.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, Marien Callahan, I'm trying to think of a polite
way to ask this was Jack Kennedy. It's almost like
he had some kind of a sexual addiction going on.
This wasn't just a it doesn't sound like he had
a lot of emotional connection to any of these people.
This wasn't like some affair of emotion. This was just
a guy was was he was a horn dog, I guess.
(07:52):
I mean, I don't know how to say that. I mean,
I'm just he just had a sexual addiction going on.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It wasn't just that, though. I mean, his psyche was
so complex and you'll see it. I really delve into
it in the book because the main question is always
why what compels someone to behave so cruelly and callously,
especially towards women. One of the things that really bonded Jackie,
who I believe was the only woman JFK ever really
(08:22):
took seriously intellectually and emotionally. They did have a deep bond.
They both had very, very difficult childhoods that were marked
by abuse, by parental abuse and neglect. JFK was a
very sick little boy. He almost died more than once
by the time he was two, and his mother and
(08:44):
father left him alone in hospitals all around this country
while he fought for his life. You know, his father
flying off to have affairs with movie stars, socialites, any
woman in his sight. His mother flying off, leaving her
children to go to Paris for the Catore, anything to
distract herself from the misery that her life was. And
(09:07):
so I think right there in both the Mother and
the Father, you see the roots of this complete disdain
for the opposite sex for women. JFK. According to every
woman who ever slept with him, and there were many
famous women who talked about it, did not even like sex.
You know, he would go three minutes. There was no
(09:28):
fun or affection. Jackie even went to a doctor who
she took on as a confidant to ask him for
help in how she could improve her sex life with
her husband. This is while they were in the White House.
I mean, that's how desperate she was.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, the voice of Warren Callahan the book is called
asked Not at the Kennedy's and women they destroyed. In
the section about Marilyn Monroe, you talk about a character
Kennedy's brother.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
In law, Peter Lawford, and how.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That connection to who Marilyn Monroe happened, and you used
the phrase, I find it interesting a psycho sexual dynamic
for Marylyn that she found compelling talk about Lawford and.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Marilyn Monroe, and that whole relationship.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
So Lawford was married to JFK's sister, Patricia, and he
was a movie star at the time, like sort of
a b movie star, but he was the connect for
JFK and RFK to get to these Hollywood stars, these women,
and Marilyn Monroe was among them. Now she was involved
(10:36):
with Bobby Kennedy and Jack Kennedy at the same time.
And this goes to there was this real sort of
incestuous emotional sexual incestuousness within the Kennedy clan and the
siblings themselves, and many people close to the family remarked
(10:57):
upon this and aside, and it's covered in the book.
After JFK's assassination, Jackie and Bobby began a very lengthy
affair and it would be, I think today considered a
trauma bond.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I'll stop it there. That was yesterday's interview with Maureen Callahan.
It's in two segments. It's up on my website Jimmylinky
dot com. Steve Laffey told me last night, he goes
that's one of the most compelling and interesting things I
heard in a long time. I've only played part of
that interview today. There's two segments on the website. Just
look at you click on the icon for the interview
and you'll see two different play buttons. One's part one,
(11:33):
one's part two. It's up there. It's really fascinating. You
want to understand. It just goes though to show you
how it is that we are driven by the medium
to think that Camelot was something really good and really brilliant.
And there's a lot of other stuff that you're taught
that by the medium, you're driven to think this is bad,
this is a bad family, this is a bad person,
(11:54):
or this is a good family, this is a wonderful
fairy tale of a story. But when the curtain comes back,
sometimes what you've been told is not necessarily for the
good of What you've been told, good or bad, is
not necessarily the truth. And unfortunately it takes sixty years
for someone to put books out to really tell you
the truth that, hey, the entire generation was kind of
(12:16):
duped a little bit about the Kennedy clan and the
Kennedys out there. All right, good to have you here
on the radio show Zero Res of Northern Colorado, proud
sponsor of this show, and I'll tell you something about them.
Before they were ever advertising on this radio program. I
was a client of THEIRS. I had used them for
more than a decade. Really have you have been a
(12:38):
big fan of THEIRS because they don't use chemicals. They
don't use harsh residues or soaps to build up residue,
so they don't have to do the heavy rinsing and
therefore you're not leaving any residue. Carpets stay cleaner, they
dry quicker, and it's just a great process. They also
clean tile grout, showering closures. They have a special procedure
(12:58):
for your upholstery. And if you're just vacuuming, that's great.
You need to vacuum, have it vacuumed, all that stuff.
But every once in a while, a couple of times
a year, I'd suggest you need to get deep down
in those fabrics. And if you got a stain, a
pet thing that's happened, don't let those settle it. And
I learned this too. I call zero resu a bi
it and I said, when can you get out here?
They said, don't go to the grocery store and buy
(13:20):
that stain stuff for the pet that's going to set it.
Don't do that and they told me what to do
until they could get out there and treat the pet problem.
When my pet had a little problem with this, pottied
on the floor, and they said, the worst thing you
could do is go buy that pet stain remover at
the grocery store. Don't do that, and they told me
what to do, and what they did, you would never
know that the pet went there. Now. They came out
and did a final cleanup the next day. But I
(13:42):
almost set the stain inadvertently by trying to do something dumb.
And sometimes it's dumb to buy those over the counter things. Listen,
zero resnocode dot com, zero res no code dot com.
Right now, three rooms of carpet cleaned and zero resified
for just one hundred and nine dollars entered promo code Jimmy.
They always give you a special when you do that,
and they're just fantastic. Again. I've talked about the no
(14:04):
harsh residue left behind. There's no residue at all. They'll
talk about the special water they use. Zero resncode dot com.
Get those surfaces clean. The kids have headed off back
to school, right and they left a message your home
zero resnocode dot com, zero resncode dot com, zero res riz,
zero resnoco dot com and again promo code. Jimmy, They'll
give you extra loving indeed they will. All right, nice
(14:27):
to have you here on the radio show. There's a
story that I found quite interesting of a sheriff in California.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
This kind of upset.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
He's blasting Vice President Kamala Harris because he's a He's
standing behind her in one of her campaign commercials in
which she says she's going to be tough on the
border and tough on crime. He's from California to Laurie
County Sheriff Mike Boudreau is in the background, and he's
very bothered by so he's now telling the media. He says, hey, listen,
(14:58):
take me out of these videos. I don't support you.
You you never cared about securing the border when you
were the California attorney general. He says, as a matter
of fact, I'd like to point out the misleading information
projected by that political ad. So this sheriff's ticked off
that she had a press conference and faced the press
and he's standing behind her and now she's looking like
law enforcement stands behind her. He says the truth Harris
(15:21):
never cared about the cartels, did nothing to stop people
interally crossing the border. Boudro, who's a thirty seven year
veteran of the Tulare County Sheriff's Office and the former
president of the California State Sheriff's Association, says that Kamala's
attempting to take credit for the work of local law enforcement.
Here's what he said happened. He's portrayed standing behind her
at the press conference, and he's like, hey, stop it.
(15:41):
I'm there out of respect for the office, but I'm
not there as a supporter. He says. Quote, we were
in the green room. She never came in. She never
said hello to any of us law enforcement. She walked
up front, gave the presser and literally walked out and
never said hi, shook her hands, nothing to us. Boudrou,
in his statement said, I'm just disgusted because you know,
she didn't shake hands, she didn't say hello. But she's
(16:03):
taking credit for all the jobs that we were doing,
all the things that we were doing as local law enforcement,
and he's wanting to say, hey, get me out of
your television commercial. He says, it's all smoking mirrors, and
it's a description as a tough border state prosecutor is
contradictory of the facts. And he's been serving in law
enforcement in California for thirty seven years. He goes, it's
all a lie, all a lie, and he's not happy
(16:26):
to be in the television commercial.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Is that amazing? You ever known a politician did walk
into a room and shake a hand? Man?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Politicians always to shake the hands that kiss the babies,
and sometimes you like, I don't want to shake your hand.
I don't know where it's been. But yeah, he says, no,
she just walked right in, didn't pay attention to him.
But hey, she got a photos ob didn't she got
a camera shot with a law enforcement in the background.
All right, everybody stand by a lakey six hundred ca
col All right here, we are good to have you
(17:11):
here on the show. Listen, if you've found yourself in
a sad situation, maybe a traffic accident, an injury, personal injury,
maybe a death or wrongful death in the family, I
want you to pay close attention to what I'm talking
about right now. I'm talking about Dan Caplis and Dan
Capli's law They take on righteous injury cases on a
(17:32):
percentage fee basis. That means, if you found yourself in
those situations aforementioned and you're battling that insurance company, you
want them to take you seriously, You've got to have
a big time lawyer in your corner. That's what Dan
Caplis does, the official law partner of the Colorado Avalanche
at Denver Nuggets takes on righteous injury cases on a
percentage fee basis. Means good people from all walks of life,
without regard to your ability to pay, get the elite
(17:55):
level of legal representation usually reserved for the rich and
the powerful and the famous. Out there corporate law firms
Capalis c ap L I S. Dan Kaplislaw dot com.
Dan Capless c ap l A S. Dankaplislaw dot com.
Be sure to tell him that Jimmy Lakey's talking about
him on the radio, Dan Kaplesslaw dot Com. All right, obviously,
(18:16):
we're getting in towards election season, and there's going to
be a lot of talk all day long on the
station and throughout the course of the weeks ahead about
Kamala Harrison, Donald J. Trump and JD Vance and Tim
Wallas and I heard that Dan caplis himself on this
radio show. We're going to talk about Tim Wallas. Is
he going to make it across the finish line? Is
a Kamalis VP pick. I believe yes he will to
(18:37):
answer the question. But it's gonna be a lot of
talk about stuff nationally, control of the House, control of
the Senate. But I want to keep you aware right
here about some of the races that are in the
state of Colorado and have an informed electorate as best
as we can. I know it's not oftentimes as sexy
to talk about the state House of Representatives or the
(18:58):
state Senate, but these things affect you a lot more
immediately than what happens in Washington, d C. Arguably, you've
been greatly impacted. Your cost of living has been greatly
impacted by Jared Pouls in the state legislature. Yeah, some
of it comes from Washington, but our governor and state
legislators have not been working to keep your cost of
(19:20):
living low because they've been pursuing an agenda over some practicality.
So one of the candidates in that race is House District.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Nineteen, Dan Woog.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He was going to be the Republican candidate against Jennifer Parenti.
Jennifer Parenti dropped out for some vague reason, and now
they have a new candidate in there. I had Dan
Woog on the program the websit. It's up at my website.
Let me play a snippet of that. It's House District nineteen.
It goes from Eerie over into Firestone. Frederick Dicono. I
(19:52):
think it might hit part of a long moot, maybe
up to Mead and I asked Dan Wu to clarify
exactly the boundaries of that district. And Dan Wu did
just that with this answer, and then we talked about
a couple of other things. Dan, do I have the
boundaries correct?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, you're just about right on. It's Firestone, Frederick Dacono
is all of Eerie, so of course the Boulder County
portion and Weld County, and then it does have just
a little bit of Longmont where it borders Firestone.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I was right on and my boundaries there. Now you're
the incumbent in that seat. Jennifer Parenti dropped out. What
does that mean for the race? Any word on why
she dropped out there should be This is a slight
registration lead. I believe in Republicans in the district. Any
word on why Parenti dropped out and who your new opponent.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Is, yeah, a little bit. You know, I only know
what I read in her statement, and this is Jennifer Parenti,
who currently is the representative. She said that the culture
at the Capitol rewards personal agendas and special interests. And
you know, I'll tell you I formally served in a
different house to Strict number sixty three, and I sure
didn't feel there were, you know, personal agendas and special interests,
(21:04):
at least not on the Republican side, And so I'm
not sure what her issues were. I mean, to me,
that's almost all the more reason to run and to
try and serve your constituents if there are issues down there.
I mean, that's why we do it. We feel like
there are issues and we want to go help resolve them.
So that's all I know as far as why she
dropped out. And yeah, they did just appoint someone a
few days ago out of Longmont, and of course the
(21:27):
Democrats that I will be running against. I know very
little about her. I hate to say her name, but
her name is Jilaire McMillan. And yeah, just I know
very little I don't believe she has served any political
seats and is new to this.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Let's talk about why you want to be down to
the state capitol. You're a businessman, You've been down to
the capitol before in District sixty three. Then they read
druidden to put you kind of a nineteen Why does
somebody want to put them through the misery of going
down to what I call the Dome of dummies, the
Gold Dome, and you make very little money again, kind
of don't get to work on your real job because
(22:01):
you're down there of these long hours, sometimes twenty hour
sessions down there. Your Republicans have traditionally been a recently
a minority, so you don't have a lot of control
or why is it what drives your dan to want
to go down to the capitol.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Yeah, that's a great question, and I will admit I
do question myself at times being down there, even if
I win, still being in the minority or even maybe
super minority. But I appreciate that. I you know, really,
I when I think about my upbringing, I think of
my two grandfathers, my late grandfathers, and once served in
World War Two on a Navy destroyer, the other actually
(22:40):
help with the design of the Adam bomb. You actually
got a commendation from the Army Corps engineers. And my
grandfather's just instilled that in me. And they were Democrats,
but they instilled in me that you know, you do
what's right. You help your country or in this case,
your state if you see things that aren't going well
or things that are hurting your constituents. And frankly, I
(23:00):
mean the top two issues. As I you know, as
a business owner right now, I see a lot of things.
And as a former legislator and even a town trustee
and eerie, the cost of living here is just going crazy.
As you can see, it's skyrocketed. And as a business owner,
I've seen legislation that actually affects my property management business
that forces me to increase my costs. And obviously my customers, clients,
(23:24):
they're the ones that are going to pay the cost.
So that's just one little example. I know a restaurant
owner locally. I was just in eating at his restaurant
in Frederick and he said, Dan, I'm we're tasked on
top of taxis I mean, I have three restaurants. We're
barely getting by. We might have to close one or two.
So I just it's it's every day all these people
are feeling the effects. And frankly, the other thing is gimmy.
(23:46):
Another key point I'm going to go down there and
work on is just supporting our law enforcement. I mean,
we're seeing criminals that aren't getting just punishment for their crimes,
and then all of a sudden they're out the next
day committing the same crime and over and over again.
And it's just we can't have a well run state
and a good economy, which is what I want and
what I want to help with. We can't have that
when we have some of the highest crime rates in
(24:08):
the country. It's just it's uncalled for. It's unacceptable. I mean,
this has gone on too long. We've had, as you know,
full Democrat control down there, and things just starn't going
well for people.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That was Dan dan Wog earlier this morning. He's a
candidate in House District nineteen. If you're in Eerie, the
eastern part of Longmont, Firestone, Frederick Dicono Oli Erie Weld County,
m Boulder County, give that interviewer listen. His opponent is
new I'll be reaching out to her and see if
we can get Hurt on the radio show as well.
If anybody in her camp's listening, we'd love to have
(24:40):
her on. But again House District nineteen. That that interview
is now we've been Jimmy Lakey dot com j I
M M Y L A K Y and there's still
several minutes of it talking with Dan Woog, candidate in
House District nineteen. We give out his website. It's all
again at Jimmy Lakey dot com. Rob Kittle, I want
to talk about him. Rob Kittle's of friend of mine.
(25:01):
Been on this radio show since the very beginning, now
over ten years with me and Rob Kittles, who I
would callify was going to sell the house of Lakey today. Listen,
even questions keeping you up about real estate? Do you
have questions keeping up about selling your home is at
the right time? What about the market is at the
right time of year? What's the prognosis in even your
neighborhood or your city, your town? What should you do? Well, listen,
(25:24):
call Rob Kindle and let him answer those real estate questions.
Give you the piece of engineered so you make the
decision that's going to be best for you and your family.
It's Rob Kintle, the one I would call if I
was going to sell the house of Lakey today. Just
go to his website. He's got a lot of options
on there. He's got an option to give you an
instant cash offer. In about sixty seconds or so, boom,
you gonna have that cash offer in your hand. They'll
give you three offers competing with each other seventy two hours,
(25:47):
no repairs, no fix ups, no open houses, just three
offers right in your hand. And also let him put
his home selling system together, and he's got buyers standing
by him. He's spent thousands of dollars in marketing, when
most realtus and companies don't even spend enough to make
a car payment. That's how little they spend in marketing.
Rob Kittle spends thousands, and that gets top dollar for
(26:09):
your home, driving up that the interest.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Robkittel dot com K I T T L E. The numbers.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Nine seven zero gets sold, nine seven zero get sold.
Rob Kittel dot com. Tell him that Jimmy Leaky's talking
about him on the radio. Rob Kittle dot com. All right,
we got to take a break. It's the final break
of the show. And then we head towards the home
stretch of the weekend. We got one more segment of
the program. We make way for the Clay Travis buck
(26:35):
Sexton Show. I know you're overjoyed by that, and then
it'll be the Sean Hannity Show. Even more thrills are
coming up and down your leg. But hey, I got
one more segment. All right, sorry to disappoint you. Everybody
stand by a six hundred kc Well, hey, don't forget
(27:02):
my websites. I got a couple of them out there.
Jimmy Lakey dot com has all the individual interviews of
the show and also Riverspromise dot org or rivers Promise
dot com has my golf event. I mean, I'm so
excited our school that we're building in Rwanda, that you
guys have followed me on the journey on as just
a number two in the county of the sector is
(27:24):
what they call it, and probably going to be on another.
A couple of weeks ago we learned we were one
of the top schools already the nation of Rwanda and
now ninety five percent scores, I mean, which just we're
blow minds over there. People are like, how the hell
do you just do this. You're the poorest of the poor.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
A lot of these kids just.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Have never been to school, and we're getting them up
to stead. It's all about it's all about education. So
thank you to all of the people. And now we'll
get that out of the press release or news release
here on the newsletter very very soon, but again waiting
on some results of another competition. But again, we just
opened the campus. I mean we're still building the campus,
still raising money to build a phase two and that's
(28:02):
just a primary school. We got a whole high school
we're going to build in the next few years. Good
Lord willing. Anyway, thank you very much. And I said earlier,
if you'd like to learn more about the charity. Playing
in our golf tournament. Nobody's good at our golf. There's
some good players, but it's all about really having a
lot of fun. And you can buy victory at the
golf turam. I swear to goes. We'll sell you. We'll
sell you for a donation a hole and want. I mean,
(28:22):
that's how we're easy like that, that's how that's the
kind of golf tournament is. And there's a lot of
in bibing. If you're an in Biber. There's a lot
of that that happens that day. It's very good. This
story kind of ties into to my school in Rwanda.
There's a school in Tennessee. They got they got low
test scores. Their test scores are coming in sucky and
(28:42):
so guess what the school did. The school canceled all
the field trips. The kids are not real happy about that.
Here's what the parents are saying about the field trips
getting canceled because the kids have low test scores.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
What would you do? Is this the right move by
the school? Play that audio?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
If I can hit the right buttons here because my
button hitting is off today, here we go.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I feel like they learn more from the field trips
because they're having fun. From Warner speakman Fayette County Public
schools field trips canceled due to low test scores. Doctor
Hamlin has canceled all field trips. They don't have teachers
to teach the kids, So how are they going to
have higher test scores when half of them they went
(29:26):
a whole year last year, like without a math teacher.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, it's not the kids' fault, Mama says, Yeah, low
test scores again, I want you to trace this back.
You can see a lot of the crashing of test scores.
It happened to that COVID shutdown in Colorado. Especially in
other states, is what happened to the COVID shutdow when
they locked the kids. And I don't know about Tennessee
because they might have gone back to school earlier.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But you know, if you ever hear anybody say we got.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
To make up the time, still four years later, three
years later, I've still never heard any school district or
politician talk about how they're going to make up the
district diruction academically and psychologically they did among these kids
in the COVID lockdown. All for the Yeah, nobody's ever
done that. But if kids got low test scores, there's
a real problem there. This is cool. Have I follow
(30:12):
I get more information on this. A woman in Florida
was helping clean up after the Hurricane Debbie recently did
some damage there, and when she was cleaning up the benches,
she found a message in a bottle. And the message
in the bottle is from nineteen forty five. It is
a note written to a friend and it's on official
US Navy letterhead. Historians are now trying to track down
(30:33):
the information. But here's Susan Flement Smith talking about finding
the note in a bottle from nineteen forty five.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
I like to pick up trash. I like to make
myself useful in like my third bag. If I noticed
a glass bottle and you could see the note and
I went to grab it, I was like, oh, my goodness,
I think I just found a message in a bottle.
Dear Lee, received your letter yesterday. Was glad to hear
from you. If you do good, good things happen, and
there is a sense of excitement. And also like a story,
(31:03):
a story that hopefully we can find its home and
bring it to its place.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Well, I want to know if the guy received a
letter in the mail, he didn't get the letter the
incoming letter in a bottle, So why would he drop
the letter in a bottle and hope he goes back
that No, it sounds very interesting, But if he was
actually replying to a letter, that seems a little bit strange,
because again, I'm sure he knew that he could drop
a letter in the mail and right back to home
(31:28):
instead of dropping it in the scene. I don't know,
it just seems weird, but it's very cool as well.
The letter in the bottle. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
we're almost out of time. I want you to say,
very close attention. People are going to be reviewing these
consumer price index numbers. We'll dive into them tomorrow. They've
been breaking and people have been giving analysis on them. Well,
I've been yapping here on the radio show. But the
(31:49):
bottom line is a year over year. They're saying it's
down month over month, but it's still up year over years.
So it's lower than it was, but it's higher than
it should be, is bottom line, and you're still feeling it.
And I think that that's going to be something that
happens that you're you're gonna feel it, and that's going
to be something that affects the election in November. Once
(32:09):
we get past all the personal attacks and things like that,
they're still going to be there.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
But I think that's a very important thing.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
All Right, ladies and gentlemen, don't forget all the websites
Jimmy Lakey dot com, don't forget and honor the three
year withdrawal of the Afghanistan. I want you to go
to my critical My mission is critical dot com or
just look at the Critical Mission podcast Jimmy Lakey. Uh,
just look up my name on the iHeart radio app

Critical podcast. Critical Mission Podcast Jason Harrington No stolen baalor there,
(32:38):
my friends, he got blown up a couple of times
within a couple of hours when he was serving his
country in the Global War on Terror. H Yeah, it's
go listen to somebody that's served in those foreign theaters
and just kind of as a way to honor them
