Nick Reed 09.08.26 - Billy Long Gets Called to the Principal's Office

0:00SpringfieldsTalk1041. Good day, our number three. My name is Nick Reed. Sent from the app on the Pyramid Roofing Company text line, hey Nick, you may want to clarify your comments about the commercial. I listened on the app, did not hear that commercial, would not want to confuse it with other good advertisers. Yes, thank you very much for that observation. Should have thought of that, those of you who listen online hear different commercials. You might hear some of the same commercials, but you hear they're different. That makes sense, that makes sense. The as a break has heard over the year, is not the way a break is heard on the stream. Sometimes some of the commercials might be the same, sometimes it may not be at all, but you're not hearing the same thing. It's a totally different way of scheduling things and there's a lot of different reasons for that. But I was talking about this commercial that is on air.

1:00It's a, I don't know if it is technically a public service announcement, but we run it through barter trade in exchange for running the syndicated programs we run and or some other programs that we utilize around the station. And it's pushing people to support, taxpayer funded increases for free school lunch and free this and free that, arguing that that it will stop child abuse from occurring, which is like saying that the COVID vaccine stops you from getting COVID. It is ridiculous, ridiculous. There's absolutely no evidence of it and just the premise that the only, because you have to accept this idea that only poor people who need benefits beat their kids and if they get more benefits, they'll just stop beating their kids. That's the entire premise of the spot. And that's what I was talking about. But yeah, great point. If you were listening to the stream and you heard me come out of the break

2:01referencing that commercial, I don't know what commercial you were hearing. And in fact, when you listen on the stream, the commercials you hear are a different set than a lot of other people here for a number of different reasons. It's just the way it works with impressions and a bunch of other stuff that I'm not fully. I don't understand it fully, partially because I don't completely need to. And it depends on where you are as well. Some of you at times like, why do I keep hearing commercials in Spanish? Well, it's because your phone identifies you as being in a heavily Spanish-speaking area for whatever reason. That's a deal between you and your phone and your carrier. But oftentimes, people will, if you've been traveling afar or your phone was activated from some other market, you may hear things that don't make sense for here locally. But anyhow, point being, good point. And yes, for those of you that were listening on the stream, then and are still listening now,

3:02that was a commercial that you in all likelihood did not hear what I was referencing there. It is a crazy thing as we roll up on the 25th anniversary seems like such a weird term to use for 9-11, but nonetheless. And we still have one of the masterminds just waiting for trial. I have not even tried this guy yet. How counterintuitive that is when it came to the way that these terrorists were dealt with in the aftermath of 9-11, particularly those at Guantanamo Bay, the left often times pitched a fit that they weren't getting their due process, much like they argue when it comes to people who are in this country illegally and those who commit violent crimes, that they ring their hands over due process.

4:03And that was a real narrative, post 9-11, not immediately afterwards, but once Democrats felt that it could be advantageous to them to try and paint the Bush administration's policies as being a violation of civil rights, they became great champions for the due process of terrorists, particularly those that had some involvement with 9-11. And here we are, I don't know how much more due process you can get 25 years later. And you still are getting this thing drug out? A federal judge, by the way, just throughout the confession of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the masterminds of 9-11. Let's throw it out. That this is where we are in this process. Former Assisted U.S. Attorney, Andy McCarthy analyzes evidentiary obstacles

5:06in prosecuting 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, judicial rulings on mail and ballots against, so that's about the article. So military prosecutors are going to go ahead and move ahead with the trial. Against the mastermind of the September 11th attacks, without the confession, a decision made to avoid further delays in the long awaited proceeding schedule for 2028. So in other words, this federal judge is like, you can't use that confession because, you know, it was coerced out of them. And the federal government's like, all right, whatever, we think we have enough evidence anyway. So we're going to go ahead and move forward with it. 25 years later, this thing is still going on. And what's sick is had this moved along, on the same sort of time frame that some American murders trial would have gone, which would have been long probably two or three years, certainly not 25.

6:09Most Americans would have, well, they would have cared, they would have known about it. And what have had a clearer understanding of what had occurred and who the bad guy is, I know this seems like an impossibly ridiculous thing to have to note, but I'm telling you, the environment that has been created by the left in this country has increasingly number of young people that think we deserved it. You've got, well, I mean, Hassan Piker, the Democrat party's favorite podcaster. This is the guy that people like L. Syed asked come campaign with me, I need your help. He says, what Khalid Sheikh Bahamut did, like we deserved it. He's on his side. And these people on college campuses and then you have these media outlets, like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,

7:10I think some others have been noted as well, that are now steering away from even calling it a terrorist attack, softening, attempting to soften the image of those who carried out 9-11. I was listening to a collage of phone calls, voicemails that were left by victims who were either on flight 93, United Flight, or in the twin towers leaving messages for their children, for their husbands, their wives, recognizing that in all likelihood, it was the last time they were ever going to get to say anything to them. And I think about people like L. Syed, who say, well, hurt people, hurt people,

8:11or Hassan Piker saying that we had it come and we deserved it. I think those people deserved it. Because when you're saying we, you're talking about the people who lost their lives. And hearing moms and dads and brothers and sisters, trying to bravely without showing signs of their fear because they don't want their family to feel that pain. And knowing that these were going to be their last moments and probably the heartbreak of hearing it go to voicemail and desperately wanting their last moments to be able to actually talk to their loved one, but instead had to leave a voicemail. And that you have some of these people on the left

9:11say they deserve that. That's the mindset of terrorists. That is the way that the terrorists think. And the fact that increasingly you have within the Democrat Party, people that are right there locked step with the terrorists who carried out 9-11. It is a very, very disturbing sign that one of our two political parties is we're rolling into September, or to 25 years after September 11th, where that whole never forget stuff. Okay. Whether in a moment right now the latest news update. First alert forecast from Ozarts. First meteorologist Tom Schmitz sponsored by Jan S on a motive. He'd advisory noon today to late tonight's slight chance of showers thunderstorms later this afternoon.

10:13Otherwise, high near 97. He did index 102 74 for low tonight. 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. High near 98. He did index 105 and then Thursday. Ooh. Shower is possibly thunderstorm. I have only 82. So that sounds nice. Now this story can also go under the never forget file in the context of 9-11. Mamdani under fire after symbolic 9-11 pin goes to former al-Qaeda defense lawyer. New York City Mayor Mamdani facing backlash after giving a ceremonial pin from a 9-11 remembrance ceremony to a top aid who once represented a convicted al-Qaeda member whose brother-in-law hijacked the plane that struck the Pentagon. And donnie signed executive orders Friday ahead of the 25th anniversary, designating the date,

11:13a citywide day of remembrance and service and strengthening efforts to prevent future terrorist threats. After the signing the final order, Mamdani handed the pin to the NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish who asked her to pass it to chief council Ramzi Kassim. Kassim previously represented Ahmed Al Darby, who pleaded guilty to war crime charges tied to al-Qaeda plots against commercial ships and was the brother-in-law of Khalid Al-Mudar, one of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon killing 184. There's no explaining that away. I'm gonna take it a step further than I think a lot of people will and suggest that this was a deliberate wink and a nod to terrorism. That this is a wink and a nod that we are getting a foothold in some of these highest offices.

12:16This is not a conspiracy theory. Hamas developed plans. A very long time ago, openly talked about them. Part of the plans were to get their people into office. This is why they developed care, the Council of Islamic or American Islamic relations to act as a front group in order to do that, masqueraded as a charity organization so that they could scream Islamophobia if anyone called them out for it. And of course, the Democrat Party in the media have done their bidding. There's only one reason that you would do something like this and do it publicly for the public to see and that is to signal. I'm not saying you're necessarily signaling an attack but is signaling where in this together? It's almost mocking America.

13:23This is laughing at Americans because of what happened on 9-11. You are a friend of terrorists. You have openly said that you are a supporter of global g-hod. These are all things Mamdani has done. You meet with terrorists. And then for the world to see at a signing ceremony, calling for this to be a day of remembrance, you give one of the signing pen, a commemorative pen to one of the individuals that was on the side of the terrorist. You see, that signals, yes, this is a day of remembrance but not the way that you and I remember it, the way that they remember it. This is it when you hand that signing pen or one of the pens representing the signing pen to somebody who is a supporter of terrorism including one of the individuals that was on the plane that hit the Pentagon.

14:25That is, you're remembering for the other side. It's not a day of remembrance that you're signaling for the victims, for the innocent Americans who lost their lives, for the firefighters and law enforcement who ran in while everyone else was running out. It's not a day of remembrance for a country that is about freedom and liberty. It is a day of remembrance of success for the terrorists. New York Post, cleric link to Muslim Brotherhood calls Mamdani and L. Syed's rise a blessing that has come out of the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel. These people are not hiding their celebration, everyone. I'm just telling you what they're doing and what they're saying. I understand that this may make a lot of people uncomfortable particularly peaceful loving Americans who happen to be Islamic, but I'm just telling you what they're saying.

15:30A prominent cleric link to the Muslim Brotherhood boasted that the rise of New York City mayor, Zohan Mamdani and Michigan, US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed are the blessings of the October 7th, 2023 massacre. Ali Al-Karadagi, the Secretary General of the Cutter Based International Union for Muslim Scholars, made the remark at an August conference in Turkey according to a report released by MIMRI-TV. Quote, if not for, the Al-Aqsa flood and if the Zionists were not put to shame, what is happening in Europe and America would not be happening, he said. The Al-Aqsa flood is the official military code that was given by Hamas to the October 7th terrorist attack that slaughtered 1,200 Israeli civilians. The IUMS founded by Usaf Al-Karadawi

16:31who was broadly regarded as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood for decades according to George Washington University's program on extremism. And so what you have here is they're laying out the playbook, they're given play by play. And this should come as no surprise because this is something they have been openly saying they're going to do, but if you point it out, you are accused of being Islamophobic but just point out what they're saying. And here you have at this event in Turkey, this recognition, things are going according to plan and part of the plan are the blessings of people like Mamdani, people like El Sayyed, these elections that are occurring across Europe in the United States, he's arguing would not have happened if it were not for October 7th. I believe he's accurate here because what the reference is is that after October 7th, that was almost permission of anti-Semitism

17:34and anti-Americanism to rise in the United States of America because that's exactly what happened. You saw it on college campuses. If you notice the anti-Semitic left by the tens of thousands on these university campuses and through the streets of these Democrat-run cities weren't simply anti-Semitic or aren't simply anti-Semitic they're anti-American, they're anti-West. And that has activated the enthusiasm amongst those people. And if you notice they're not all Muslim, they're just collaborating with people who are Islamic. And if it had not what the argument here is, if it weren't for October 7th, activating the enthusiasm of the left in this country that believes, hey, we can actually do this thing. And then getting behind some of these people that they recognize as their allies,

18:36El Syed, Mammdani. That groundswell of support, if it had not been here, if it weren't for October 7th, that groundswell of support would not have occurred and we would not have people like Mammdani and El Syed in the United States of America. That's what terrorists connected clerics are saying. I'm just delivering the message. Springfields talk 101, I'm Nick Reed. Brookline doorworks, average garage door gets used about 3,000 times per year. I notice actually for the first time. Just notice this last week. I use an app that can open and close my garage door. It allows me to see what's going on. I've got the feature and this is all Brookline doorworks stuff that they can get set up for you. Great Amazon feature with the new technology. You can, as you check out with Amazon, there's an option to choose to have it put in your garage.

19:36So you don't have to worry about porch pirates and what occurs is when that package comes, the delivery driver has either a code or they've got the ability to automatically open your garage then and place it inside your package inside the garage and then the garage door closes. Now the technology that makes that possible also films them at the same time doing it. So if you're worried, like why don't I be letting someone in my house, they're filming the entire time doing it. And so that way, if they did for whatever reason to decide to rob your house, you'd have proof of it. Not, this has not been a problem incidentally. And so anyhow, this is all usage of the app. And I noticed it actually had a garage door and a garage door open and closed counter. I did not know that. I don't know if that's a new feature or if I had never noticed it before, but point being is the average spring's lifespan is about 10,000 uses. And so you're talking a little over three years for the average person.

20:37You may get more out of it than that, but you're on borrowed time at that point. Temperature changes, extrofriction or resistance lack of maintenance. These are some of the biggest contributing factors to spring snapping. So routine maintenance, do it annually. Brookline doorworks can do it for you. And they're always on call 24-7. You know, they do all of the emergency repair stuff, well, non-emergency repair stuff as well, for a Springfield Fire Department number of businesses also. And this is because of that 24-7 emergency service. That is available to you as a resident also. Brooklinedoorworks.com. First alert forecast. I find what I did with it here. Here we go. From Ozarks First Meterologist Tom Schmidt, sponsored by St. Clair of the Ozarks Home Improvements. He's advisory and affects noon today until 8 o'clock tonight. Shower's thunderstorm's possible this afternoon. Otherwise hot 97 for a high heat index 102, clear 74 tonight.

21:3840% chance of showers storms tomorrow. Otherwise, I have 98 heat index 105 much more pleasant. Dare I say Thursday showers possibly thunderstorm, high near 82. Billy Long got called to the principal's office because of someone else's behavior. Iceland summoned the US ambassador yesterday after President Donald Trump posted an image on social media showing the island in other countries covered by the American flag. Local broadcaster RUV said, the map show the United States Canada Greenland, Iceland, Mexico Central America and the Caribbean covered by the US flag with the entire land mass labeled United States of America. Trump posted the image on his truth social platform without explanation. Iceland's foreign minister Thor Gerder Gunn-Dun-Dedor called in Billy Long, the US ambassador to Iceland who only formally took up the post last month.

22:39RUV reported quote, the position was clearly expressed that the post was completely inappropriate. The foreign ministry told RUV the US State Department, the US embassies and Copenhagen are ecu-vec in the US consulate. Newt did not immediately reply to requests for comments. The Icelandic foreign minister also did not reply for requests for comment. The story goes on. Some of this, well, okay, let to even try and discuss what this means. Everybody can have their own interpretation. Right. And honestly, the notation that without explanation Trump posted this, that's why he does it without explanation. Because he, it's just you people watching him toy with you. You people on the left. You should see how they're going to have a pletico over this.

23:42Some of these people, and even these leaders of countries, act like 12-year-olds when somebody that's supposed to be their best friend post something on social media they don't like. Like, why would you do that? And it turns into this huge spat. I don't know if you've got. Well, I don't know. This may be your world. But having a child that is, you know, teenager, a lot of social fallout amongst friend groups are the result of somebody posting something on social media within the friend group. And then speculation as to what it means or why would they post this? And it turns in to this massive drama because of it posting on social media. And I'll listen to the conversations about it.

24:44And the initial reaction is, well, they're teenagers. But then I see adults acting the same way when Trump posts something. Just go like, how old are you? It is a social media posting. And the context is, well, we don't know the context. The context is, it's Donald Trump. That's the context. You haven't figured this out yet? You don't understand. You still are incapable of understanding what he's doing. Well, but he's talked about annexing so what? I'm not saying that you have to like it. I'm not saying that you can't find it annoying or do an eye roll. But just the way that adults, adults just need to stay off social media.

25:45You are behaving like teenagers. Well, yeah, but it's the president of the United States. And what's really the impact here, the posting or the reaction to the posting? What does the posting itself mean? Nothing. I'll just give you my thought is to my interpretation. When there is an image that he posts of the American flag covering all those countries, and that is that the United States is covering all those countries in terms of security, like a blanket. When I see the image of the US flag, blanketing, camnida, blanketing, Mexico, blanketing, greenland, Iceland, all these other countries, I think what's the, who is the one country in the Western hemisphere that is proactively taking steps to prevent countries like Russia and China from having influence for

26:50nefarious purposes in our part of the hemisphere? It's the United States of America, so you're welcome. The blanket of the United States is covering you and keeping you warm and comfortable. That's what I interpret it as. Now, different people are going to have different interpretations. The reaction that adult human beings, some of which are supposed to be leaders, do you know what a real leader says? Yeah, that's Trump. That's what he does. And so the foreign minister of Iceland, I mean, this set out of press release, gotta let the media know. We're calling in the ambassador to, you've got some explaining to do Billy long. You're not gonna auctioneer your way out of this one. I would have loved to have

27:50been in there. I wonder because it can go one of two ways. I mean, you could go one of the number of different ways. It could be the obligatory, hey, how's your first month going? We hope you're enjoying it and everything. Oh, have you been to this restaurant yet? Have you been over here? Oh, yeah, so far, so far. Oh, listen, this Trump thing, you got to understand, I don't know, press release and make sure everyone knows that we're standing up to the United States and all that sort of stuff. You get it, right? All right. Well, see a Friday at the cocktail party. Is that what Billy long's dealing with or is he really giving him the what for? I mean, have you have you have you have you just signed up for X? Are you new to the internet or you knew to Donald Trump? This is what you're worried about. Man, it must be great to be in charge of Iceland. If this is your biggest concern right now, Billy long, it called to the principal's office because of Donald Trump.

28:51Let's see, there is a mayor in Louisiana, former mayor, I should note, female, misty Roberts. This is the writer mayor, the writer, D E R I D D E R. She's just been released from jail after serving her 90 days sentence, stemming from a conviction earlier this year. She was convicted for having sex with a 16 year old boy at a 2024 house party while she was serving as mayor in June. Judge Kent Savoy sentenced her to 90 days in jail of $5,000 fine and two, five years suspended sentences. The sentence drew strong reaction from some residents who said they believe the punishment was too lenient. Well, I believe she's a woman and couldn't help herself because of her hormones. This is where we are, right? I mean, listen, if hormones can make a woman murder her own children in a slow, very personal, methodical way, can we really get mad at a woman

29:59for having sex with a 16? It looks like age-wise, she's kind of where they talk about women hitting their peak sexually. You know, they always say it, what is it? A woman in her 40s is like a guy and his late teens or something like that. I mean, hey, it's her hormones. She can't be held responsible for that. I think about all the ways that the left have proactively attempted to reestablish all of the stereotypes about women that the left claimed that we were supposed to have gotten rid of. For example, that women are hysterical individuals that can't control themselves because of their hormones. How is this not more notable in this entire discussion? There was a period of time where if you really wanted to anger a woman, particularly on the left,

31:04you know, you'd ask, oh, is it that time of the month? You know, suggesting that their hormones are out of whack, that must be why they're acting this way. We're mocking the idea of a woman president saying, oh, yeah, you really want someone to have her finger on the red nuclear button when it's at that time of the month. Oh, boy, the liberal women, how dare you say that about women? How dare you act like we can't control our hormones? How dare you act as if we somehow can't control ourselves because of our hormones? Those same people are out there saying, oh, yeah, she killed her kids, but she couldn't help it because it was her hormones. Same lefties. So we have gone from the left demanding society, view women and men in the exact same way when it comes to dealing with any particular situation, be it stressful, be it not whatever,

32:11and creating this society in which they demand that never, ever, ever does a man claim, that a woman can't control herself because of hormones, to now we're supposed to not only recognize that, but to the extent of which, oh, they may, like, what's the worst thing you could ever consider a woman whose hormonal, I don't know, maybe killing her own kids. Yeah, yeah, that's right. They do do that because of their hormones. What is it with you women on the left? I mean, when it comes to describing women, this long ago stereotype of women on the left say that, you know, her society expects women just to be barefoot and pregnant.

33:12Women are more than that. Women aren't just these machines to birth children. What do they call them today, birthing persons? The left demands we call them birthing persons. Then the I am woman here, me or no man should be able to tell a woman what to do. They're on the front line of demanding that men get to compete against women if the man says he wants to. The left for years, creating an environment in which I mean, you would be, shit you, if as a guy, if you ever even thought about mentioning hormones in the context of a woman's behavior, you were the absolute worst. And now we're supposed to use it in order to excuse someone murdering their own kids. Now that's back in vogue. Every sort of cultural presentation of a woman

34:12that the left, particularly so-called feminist on the left have long claimed, or these real detrimental personality traits of our culture, they are the ones that are bringing back in style. And demanding that we all respect and honor. Under hardscapes and outdoor, they're not just installers, designers of outdoor experiences. Landscape, outdoor living space design. That's what they did for my family. Pave or Patios, retaining walls, that was part of it, with the outdoor living space design. Now we're still to do landscaping and something I'm hoping next season will be able to do. Saud installation, garden bed construction, drainage solutions, landscape lighting as well as home lighting, and comprehensive property maintenance services. Maybe you have some sort of facility, maybe even your home. And you

35:13just don't have the time to make sure that it is done to where it always looks nice. Right? Because that's the thing about having a lot of that curb appeal is it does take time. I mean, unless you're going to just plan a bunch of fake stuff out there, you've got to keep on top of it, otherwise it looks worse than having nothing at all. And that's one of the services that Hunter hardscapes and outdoor provides as well. Hunterhardscapes.com also, nix endorsements at ksgf.com. By the way, so this mistrial, Friday, Lindsey Clancy, things as they stand now, the defense attorney said Friday, he was going to ask Massachusetts judge, William Solven to set aside the hung jury outcome and rule from the bench that she is not criminally responsible for fatally strangling her three young kids, because you know, ladies and hormones. Reddington is expected to argue for the motion at Clancy's next hearing, which is September 29th.

36:15So that's sort of where things are at this point. A couple of fantastic follow-up stories, Lindsey Clancy obsessed mom, Corey Walsh left son to hanging from rafters for neighbors defined according to police. Two-year-old boy allegedly murdered by his Lindsey Clancy obsessed mother found hanging by his neck from the rafters by a horrified neighbor who then discovered the mom of four upstairs in a bathtub allegedly trying to kill herself. Let me tell you, here's part of the problem. It's not even the ruling itself. It is the cultural shift here that has demonstrated to people that not only is it possible, I guess, is it acceptable, but it's almost praised for women to kill their own children because you're a victim and we praise victimhood in this

37:17country. Now the kids aren't the victims. And here's why this is problematic. societal expectations do for most people have some impact. If you are a person that is so overwhelmed and maybe you have a cocktail of drugs in your system that emotionally makes you feel as if you want to kill your own kids. If you live in a culture in which it is absolutely clear that is unacceptable, that is enough for some people to use their brain to override their emotional desires to go, I know I'm feeling and maybe go get help or just get away from their kids do something, but that knowledge that, okay, this is not acceptable. I know it's not acceptable. I know what I want to do, but I can't do it because this is clearly not acceptable behavior. That's no longer the culture we live in

38:21because now somebody who may feel overwhelmed and feel as if the only way out is to just emotionally feel that way does they no longer have this intellectual barrier if they are looking at our culture as a whole that says that's absolutely unacceptable and said they hear people online and lining up outside the court house that says you can't help it. If you do it, it's not your fault, it's inevitable. And while there will be people who intellectually recognize that certain behaviors are unacceptable, but they will go ahead and commit the act anyhow, there are some people who emotionally feel like behaving that way, but they won't because they know that it's wrong,

39:22that now in our environment will be able to tell themselves maybe it isn't so wrong. All I have to do is get on Instagram. All I have to do is get on Facebook because it's my husband's fault or it's, you know, the doctor's fault or it's this person's fault over here, it's not my fault, I can't help it. That certainly doesn't make a human being less likely to murder.
