Wow. The talk the talk show brought you by network capital. Funding corporation your future finance. So big you'll lose -- updates to -- also gonna talk about the Junior -- suicide and NFL football weather. There's something immoral while playing such a violent games such an organized big business way but first -- lot of good data RI. -- very and is there she hosts from one to three every day here NW RKO. And there is controversy down there we talked about last week -- remember that monument you -- do the other end house across on. Actually this is right outside group coming in and suing to try to get that across from them because the monument is outside a fire station. And on land owned by I believe it's the state general. Good morning welcome. The morning guys got -- early what the hell took you to keep your voice down -- you don't wake up the states. I'm actually outside I feel like up the family some outside standing in the middle of -- during the -- got some dedicated people and I am. That's excellent and little hope there's not a lot of traffic. So does -- tell -- we're going on to bring us up to date on this is a great story damage done. -- -- -- I came out yesterday and I was absolutely on that there were well over -- EV it's seeing all over 2000 people and what was so. Wonderful about what was happening I've never cannot live it was thought in my whole life and I was teasing you got an -- and -- the last time I was on. But one of the things I've never realized was the heart and all of city and clearly yesterday that was evident people itself. And as -- I was. The monument in itself but also the concept of god in everything in our schools and in our society -- culture on and and they really adamant that endowments and my spirituality -- you have your beliefs let me have mine. What worry about the politics later I don't know if that's appropriate but the -- I -- the passing was indicative of this sort of this leave that that's going on across the kind. What was the fact that you what was the purpose of the rally together that well basically I can't protect the crop but also a moral I think it was. We want god you know. -- -- -- and this is important to a bill that's as I think that that's that's right. I think you would describe the town well in your own words you it's it used to dump on the got a lot of problems down there. We have been told in the first report that the town did not have enough money to actually -- -- defense so we have -- challenge to the cross in the towns has got we can't even hire a lawyer. I would say god throughout the thing that's tough that's true -- British academy and hire a life so was this to try to encourage town officials to you know step forward and find a lawyer anyway. Well but they actually did I know my father as a member of the City Council and I -- up with women and apparently the night before they had passed some. Agreement they had gotten together and emergency session and they had decided that they are -- On an effort to get. Some -- together. And created a defense however as a group outside groups much like the Wisconsin. On you know from wherever if it is not a Wisconsin group of people along with a true but -- it's rated it was not this is this freedom from religion foundation right. Correct but Liberty Counsel has amendments that will work these guys for free we just want to protect that process so. While I'm on my see it you know important around and -- way at this point it seems as though it's not it's as don't want any money that is what company do what's right -- the city now. Well that's awesome so is a rock in the -- of these are festivities or plan yesterday to get together and have 2000 people there. Require -- a lot of marketing going out is there is some kind of fall out today there was not a standalone event yesterday not. That was as standalone event and attic and you know I I haven't seen -- it's there whereas it's waking up I don't know what people are saying about it I hope that it would get national attention. And I would hope that that people in the liberal media was you know -- -- paid for. Would it would be such slightly honest about the turnout and the situation yesterday but I doubt that's the case so glad you got the opposite. January keen observer these kind of scenes do you think the the group that's fighting to save the cross. Is is it is you know coherently organized terrorist it going to be a kind of a scattershot group that kind of wanders around Ramos like. On your body yet they are coherently organize collectively ask questions they know that they are you know. I think that's what people think the folks who went socket and really got the most brightest people I'm not gonna lie I mean obviously look at me guys. But the thing isn't their passion and they are coherently organize and I think the mayor of the -- taking charge in and he earlier has said. We don't have fun we're not gonna pick up this fight we can't do it yeah you'd think system because so many people have come forward and because it is a -- market. I have no choice now I got reform which is trying to protect the. Well I like your strategies take the pressure off from last time when you said the wind -- was a dumb. Now you're Q what are residents are being dominant -- forget all about -- -- about their center and by the -- her dad is thrilled that he's talked about this so called my private Manning had a desperate out of the team up -- I can't tell you that -- -- -- no agenda yet the best I -- -- -- yesterday to an -- -- -- and I thank sir thanks to film us in on what's going -- was when socket.
