you can relax that way, afterwards and things. Uh-huh. Yeah. I agree Well, I guess it's getting late. Yeah. And I should take off, but, uh, I appreciate that, that helped me, helped motivate me Okay. Think someone can do it. Yeah. Maybe I should start thinking about it again. Well, try it or, or maybe just exercise at ...
I bought the low impact first. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's me. So, but I haven't done it. Uh-huh. But I'm going to try it. Well you have a good night. Thanks a lot. We'll see you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. So, uh, what do you think about our involvement in the Middle East? Well, actually, I think it's good. I, I, I hope that we, uh, ...
Just seems to be that that's the most unstable part of the world, as far as I can tell. I saw, um, just recently, where, uh, uh, the U S is supposedly going to be, uh, putting pressure on all the, you know, the Israelis, supposedly, to come to a bargaining table to, actually I heard that the Israelis were even at least...
they sort of took over the, um, they're one of the only countries in history that has been told that they have to give back what they took in a war, which they didn't start, basically, so. Oh. Yeah So, I don't, I don't know how to, I don't, I don't know what to do about it But I think that, that you know, in general th...
But they want to keep some sort of central command post there. What I thought was interesting is that, uh, apparently the formal cease fire has not actually been signed yet. That's true. And, uh, then I guess there's still the possibility that, uh, hostilities with, uh, U S troops could still break out. Yeah, that's, t...
and coincidently actually my wife is Syrian. Um. Oh, really. Yeah, so I am, we are sort of, we are the Middle East peace talks at home. Um. And, uh, pardon me, I'm just sort of putting away some things from dinner now in the background. Yeah. But we, um, we, she has sort of friends and family in Saudi Arabia, who are s...
but they recognize that Syria's not the place that one wants to visit right about now. No. No You know, something about the place makes it not, not quite enjoyable. Do you ever want to go over to Israel? Yeah, I, I've actually been there. Oh, okay. I was there a couple of years ago, when it wasn't, you know, sort of da...
but it turns out that one of the strangest things about, about Israel is that um, most folks don't realize that for all the food people think of as sort of, you know, Jewish food and so forth. Um, and, you know, um, in general it really isn't the food that is eaten in Israel. So you typically think of it, like bagels, ...
I got you. It, it, it is very strange. Still get your Passover Matzi and all that, right. That, that starts tomorrow night. That's what I'm making, that's what I'm doing now. I'm making dinner. Oh really. I dated, uh, I dated a nice Jewish girl for many years up in Chicago, and I was the only Goyim at, at all the Seder...
we, um, we actually, we have the reverse situation. Turned out that, um, um, most of my friends aren't Jewish, and, and my wife's not. Okay. But I, um, I sort of, you know, do a lot of these things, so, so that, um, Seder, our first Seder is tomorrow night. And this is a rare exception. There are going to be sixteen pe...
Yeah. So. Well, they had the, matter of fact I just watched Charles Heston this, uh, this weekend in the TEN COMMANDMENTS. Yeah, I caught the end of that. Did you? Yeah, every year, I try and catch that. But yeah. That's what always amazes me, actually, is that, um, is that, you know, my wife and I always sort of bring...
But, you know, emotionally I have a real difficult time believing that, uh that, that people that believe in God and love, not war and to forgive can't get together. Right. You know, I I know that the problems are so deep. But I mean, even within the Muslim, uh, religions, different sects, they can't get together. Righ...
I don't, I'll, I'll never understand it. My view is look, what did you ever do to me. Yeah, yeah. Didn't hurt me, at, at, at the moment. So, um, and, and, and I, I don't know. There's a, there's something about, there's a poem somewhere. I don't know if you've ever seen it or not, but Everything I Ever Wanted to Know I...
and wouldn't it be nice if, if we could solve all our problems by just sort of getting together and everyone in the world sat down and took a nap together. Woke up and had snack time, you know, and then hugged each other as we left. It sounds like a, it sounds like a John Lennon, uh, type. Yeah I wonder if he secretly ...
Okay, Current Events. Uh, you, you've got the question you can go first there, since I called. I rely primarily on, uh, newspaper combined with television. Huh, that, you're the opposite of me. I drive an hour each way to work and so if I just use time and not say one, which quality is the best, I guess, that would be ...
I'm a radio hound I guess, I take the radio with me when I'm working on my car, the lawn or whatever, and turn on, they have everything from lawn work, lawyers, news, uh, veterinarians, all kinds of items, uh, so I'm, I'm a real radio buff, especially on the when I'm doing chores. That's rather interesting. Yeah, I fin...
it's on Cliff, I don't know what the, he's on all stations. You might remember the name Bruce Williams, and he, he is again, national and talks about a lot of financial things. But, the here, I just get a kick out of, uh, well we do a lot of gardening here, so there's, we have an excellent gardener here, has three hour...
That's good. Actually, That we, we wake up to television news and, uh, uh, shower and dress, and whatever to that, and then because of the fact that my wife and I ride to work together, uh, in a car, we, we chat at each other rather than, than something else. Oh, that's good. Uh, and occasionally what we'll each do dep...
I've always said that it, it's really not interesting unless it's three weeks old and found its way into a news weekly headline. Good point. That's a good point. Uh, other than that it was a at best. Oh, yeah. It comes and goes. Uh, we're probably not thrilled with our only newspaper that we have in Raleigh. There, the...
Are you into any of that what, what's going on in the city council and the, and the school boards and all that? We have that addition to our paper. Yeah, we, we have, that is, uh, as a matter of fact they update it once a week with a special section, we, and we pay it sort of glancing nod. We, uh, have a very good frie...
and she'll always get mad and say, you didn't read the, uh, well, I always read the sports, uh, what am I thinking of, uh, the commentaries, I can't even think of what it is offhand, and she's always reading something, and she says, why haven't you read that. And, I say, I never have time to read it like you do. But, I...
Okay. We have it in the break area, C N N. And, but the reason I say that is on the radio they'll say and look at this, you know. And when I first heard C N N, it only started about, uh, since the war, you know, or right before that. And, they would always say and look at this, and there would be a pause, you know, wou...
I'm, go ahead, your, your turn. Uh, we probably were listening to C N N fairly heavily before the war broadcasts began. Uh, we almost live and, and breathed it for, because during the war itself to the point where we began to sort of have household pact of lets turn the war off and get something done. Yeah, I've, I've ...
and then we would get the local coverage, uh, and then I think the local coverage we would tend to watch the same station that would, would have better state coverage rather than local coverage. Uh, three of the networks here, on their local news, uh, that if, if you wish to listen at eleven o'clock you can find out wh...
We've got two children and it's, they have scraped the, uh, plaster off the walls, you know, with riding their little toys through it and stuff. You know, Yes. put dents in the tiles, just multitude of them, I mean even places, it's, it's past the dent stage, we're talking some of it's been peeled away, you know, I don...
I mean, it sounds like it's just the pits but it's not all that bad, I guess but, you know, they're just real hard on it. Kids are hard on houses. Definitely, I can see why people wait until they get like in high school or maybe junior high and then they get another one. Yeah, yeah. Uh, we live in a mobile home and tha...
How old is your child? Ten, girl. Well, So, you know, just like yours, ours is always, you know, we're, something else goes wrong always, you know, it's, Some appliances breaking or something? No, appliances, we had a couple plumbing problems, we've, oh, who knows, you know, it's always something with homes. And you sa...
Oh, no, no I'm, I work for T I. Well, then that's why you're doing this then, isn't it? Oh, yes. Oh, okay, well, What division are you in? I'm not in T I. Oh. I had a friend that had a roommate that worked for T I and she saw this come up on the computer screen, and ran it off. And passed it to the people that were int...
You know, the gal I talked to in Maryland, didn't own a car, she's never traveled anywhere, she's never been anywhere, she, you know, I talked about one of the biggest problems in the United States being our roads, and she didn't understand. She doesn't drive. How does she get to work? Uh, she, uh, lives on campus, she...
I would have to get on one and drive, or walk to a you know, there's one terminal close to us and then they'd drive me to the main terminal here, Right. then, I'd have to go to downtown Dallas and then walk over couple blocks and get on another bus to go to my school. If it's anything like, uh, So that's too much. Dall...
Huh, that's terrible. Uh-huh. So, Garland, how nice is it now, it's been a while since I've been there. You know, I think it might be up to two hundred and fifty thousand. It's gotten big. Yes, it has. I think when we moved here it was like a hundred and twenty, something like that. And I didn't realize, when I moved h...
I'm, I'm originally from Lubbock. Are you? Yeah. So, why did you move up to Colorado? Seemed like the thing to do at the time. Well, it's real pretty up there. I have a friend, in Denver. Oh, I love it, the mountains. I love the mountains, What do you, uh, back to the topic, What? it seems that, uh, more and more peopl...
and strange it seems that, uh, It wasn't such a bad idea? Oh, they're doing some back pedaling. So, have you got, uh, land? No, I'm renting at the time, so. I did that one year, I lived with two other girls and we all taught. And it was a two bedroom, so, we took turns, you know, having, sharing the bedroom. Gosh. Yeah...
Uh-huh. and it has a traditional V top , roof, I'm sorry. and, uh, it's nine hundred and eighty square foot. What, two bedroom, one bath, rooms are nice sized. Uh-huh. Well, you can imagine nine hundred eighty square foot broke up into two bedrooms, one bath, So have, Have you got it under ? it's, it's comfy. Yes. Are ...
When we bought ours we were paying uh, three hundred twenty-nine dollars. Oh, our payments are like two twenty. For how many years? Fifteen. Oh, so, it was still a lot cheaper, And, uh, what? so, it was still a lot cheaper than what we gave because ours is thirty years, and we bought one of the cheapest houses, you kno...
Gee, nice, huh. That sounds good. So, you know, there's not that much time left on the loan and, So, if the economy gets better, are you going to get another one, another house? I, don't know. No? Uh, to tell you the truth right now it feels kind of comfy to have our mobile home and have it so close to paid for. You kn...
T I would pay to move you? I don't know but they did, when I, when I moved up here, so, they might want to move away. So, how many years you been up there? Uh, six or seven. Do you snow ski? Uh, a little bit, little bit, mostly I just love walking in the mountains, driving in the mountains. It's real pretty. I went roc...
I wish I had a green thumb, though. I've got a brown thumb. That's what everything turns. Oh is, but, do you keep trying anyway? I keep trying, uh, you know, you just can't, can't give up on it, uh, I, uh, I bought some, uh, plants from Michigan Bulb Company they send them to you all ready alive. No, no, I've never had...
so I'm encouraged No, I, I haven't had, had good luck with that company, uh, I think some of it depends how long things stay in the mail, probably. Yeah. But, I've had to, to get my money back from them and had better luck with, with some of the, the more expensive companies. Yeah, there's a, uh, Because they, I don't ...
now our local stores don't, don't offer any guarantee. Um. But some of the, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that. Uh, I got a whole bunch of bulbs along with this stuff, so, I'm going to wait on those. Oh, they're bulbs for Spring or Fall? Uh, probably Spring, but, uh, I don't much care about things like that. I...
yeah, and watch the cats tear it up. Right. I don't know that, do cats bother bulbs? I think more the mice or other rodents. They, they just like to get in and dig. Oh, I see so if you have fresh dirt, they'll Oh, they love to dig. I had, I had some, uh, I don't know what kind they are, I've already forgotten, just reg...
Especially the catnip. How many cats do you have? Three. Oh okay. Actually I just, put a, uh, little fence around my yard, uh, um, which is I suppose, technically illegal, but I had so many groundhogs last year that I think they'll let me get by with it, and it, it's got this one inch mesh and what I've noticed it's ke...
Right, right. Well they do walking tours too, so. Um. But at least, because I back up to, um, a hillside where the, uh, wild animals are, I think I can probably justify it. Um, yeah, an, and if somebody raises a stink about it you can always go before the association and argue your case anyway. Right, right, I You know...
Uh, gosh. And so, Well, let's see, other than gardening which I fiddle at, I'm not very good at, what else do I, mostly just computer stuff. Oh. I just like playing with my computer and doing stuff on that. Uh, cooking, that's not really a hobby, it's a necessity. But, but I enjoy it. I like to think that I'm a very go...
and raising cats. I mean that could become a hobby. Well, it's, it started out as a hobby actually. Uh-huh. Uh, it just, it developed into sort of a business, uh, you know, we breed them and all that, but, we didn't, you know, we didn't really start it for the money, it was just, they were fun to have around and we fig...
and I just got her back from the vet this morning, getting her spayed. Only going to breed them once. Oh, okay. And, uh, she's not, she's not feeling too great today. Um, is that typical, to only breed them once? No, uh, most breeders are in it for the money, so they'll they'll breed them twice a year and I, I just thi...
So will, you, uh, breed one of the litter, then next year? We're, we sold all that litter, Oh. um, we, there's not that much call to, for Bombays. Uh-huh. Um, they're, they're registered but they're not, they're not, uh, they're not show cats. Oh, I see. Uh, so all you can do is sell them as pet quality. Uh-huh. Uh, so...
But they have nice personalities and they're very inquisitive. Um, now the Himie, we'll probably breed her a couple of times and we'll, we'll end up keeping one out of each litter and then breeding those. Right. It's just the stud fees are so much, though. It'll cost about three hundred dollars for a stud for her. We, ...
Going to have some nice kittens, I hope. Uh-huh She's, uh, she's, if if you know what a Himalayan is, generally they look something like, uh, well they come in a lot of different colors. People don't realize it but they're sort of like, uh, Siamese in a way. They have the, uh, they have the gloves on the paws and they'...
But we have to be careful, uh, you know, we have to get a particular color point, uh, stud. You can't just breed them with anything. We have to get a, uh, we have to get a silver point Himie, so that the silver will be predominate in the kittens. I see. That's, it, that's the fun part, trying to figure out what you've ...
It, it comes from England and, uh, in the county of Devon. Oh. And it's a mutant cat. And they're, they're pretty expensive, we're going to, we're going to shell out probably about a thousand bucks for one. Um, they're very thin, they're, they're, they're long and lanky and skinny. Um. And they have real short hair. It...
well sometimes I'm home and sometimes I'm not, but if I am it's always fun to talk. Are, are you part of the school system out there? I am, as a matter of fact. I'm at, uh, North Carolina State. Uh, the reason I said that because I've had about, uh, three calls and my daughter had one, too, from different students out ...
and, uh, apparently a number of them have been participating. Oh, yeah, I talked to one, we're not on the subject. Of course, I talked to one, I think he had a whole bunch of calls. He had a roommate that had calls and everything. Uh-huh. He had way more, twice as many calls as, as I've made, uh, and I, I'm, of course,...
I actually was planning a trip to Latin America and I got warned off by some people. They say Peru can't be traveled to and the crime rate in Brazil makes it not a pleasant place to go and so on and so forth. Oh, really. T I had a place, I'm not too sure, I don't think they do anymore, down, I think it was Campinas, I'...
but I don't, I don't have an answer to the crime rate. It's sad. That is a sad situation. I, I'd like to go down to Mexico, you know, and I keep hearing that, you know, the government and, and the crime rates pretty high too, that, that is sad. Uh, not that we can, uh, sell any great program we have with crime, Yeah. b...
Right. Yeah, I know that I saw in a book, I was reading a Spanish book, uh, not that I read Spanish, you know, I just, you know, reading some Spanish words and there was a comment in there about the Mexicans don't really want us to say, we're Americans. They would like to say that we're North Americans because they're ...
No, no, I know. I just don't think of Mexicans as being North Americans, although, I guess, strictly speaking they are. Yeah, no, I mean they were saying that of us, that we're the North Americans and they're Americans, they, they, we always say we're Americans, and they, they want us to say we're the North Americans. ...
so Yeah, well it's, it's so interesting, I I just don't think Mexico's problems are going to be cured by semantics. No, no, they, they were lucky enough to have some oil, what, ten years ago, an, and they, they blew all that, and borrowed more money than they can pay back now and, uh, uh, so they're not exactly busines...
Yeah. I, I do feel for them, uh, they are very envious of us, or they wouldn't be coming up here, you know, risking a lot. Not that they're risking their lives, of course, but risking a lot, uh, getting thrown back I guess is all that, uh, happens. Yeah. You probably don't see that. Where, we see it, you know, once a m...
Uh, and I think a lot of their problems is poverty. If we could, uh, uh, the problems we have, in this country, is, is a lot of it's poverty. Whether it's the people aren't trying hard enough to get out of poverty, I, that's another story, but, uh, uh, it is sad. There, there's so much down in all of South America, uh,...
A lot of it, of course is hot and jungle and all that, but, uh, there's got to be a lot of potential down there. Yeah, what are you taking in school, I didn't ask you that. What are you taking in school? Well I am actually, Oh, you're an instructor, Yeah. yeah, you're an instructor, yeah, you said. Yeah, I'm the, I'm t...
I'm in Computer Science Great, great. but of course, this project is really one to collect a data base of, of, uh, of casual speech, uh, in an attempt to get some kind of a model of what speech is like. Right. I, of course, I work at T I and I'm a little puzzled as to why when they get my voice one time, why that isn't...
and that's, uh, a big problem in speech recognition. Oh, yes. I know they change with age, I know mine changes, uh, has changed, uh, although you, you never found, your, your voice echoes in your own head which is, makes it different than what it really sounds to other people. Yeah. Uh, I'm sure singers and professiona...
you wouldn't have to have a keyboard, you'll be able to just give it commands and I'm sure they have some of that now, and not, not, in computers but a lot of potential, of course for handicapped people, I think you got it. Okay. Uh, my first thoughts on capital punishment I, the first thing I want to say is no. Just s...
Right. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. our taxes are paying to feed and shelter those people. And it just, that, that I find very difficult to swallow, sometimes. Uh-huh. One thing I don't understand is the, the whole concept of death row. Uh-huh. Okay, these people are supposedly, I guess waiting to die, right? I'm with you there. O...
What, what are we doing with these people? They're there, we should either take some kind of action, or take enough or go a different route. Right. Exactly. But they're just, And then when you think of the thousands and thousands of dollars that get burned in court costs, you know, we could be feeding poor people and...
but locking someone up and not getting, you know, any benefit from that for the person or for society to me is wrong too. Uh-huh. And I guess I see both sides, in that at the, at the same time that I'm saying that, you know, we're committing the same crime, Uh-huh. I also agree that, I mean, if there is somebody out th...
And we want to remove them. Exactly. But, but I think that the whole crux of the problem is, no one has come up with a solution that is acceptable, that does, you know, basically, you know, Uh-huh. Right. I, I, think, you know, that the whole idea of, uh, the death penalty was invented for two reasons. It removes the...
Right. but prepare them first. Exactly. But that, the the problem is so incredibly complex. I have a friend who works on the pardon and paroles and she interviews, inmates all the time that are coming up for parole. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And she says it is just really frightening how easy it is to, you know, have the prison...
And you want people out of prison and you want people to get jobs and, and live happy lives. Uh-huh. But they can't just walk out of prison and do that. They can't just walk out of prison and say, okay, I'm going to go a different route. That's right. That's right. There has to be some sort of buffer in there. Uh-huh....
What power do we have? Oh, goodness. I mean, you know, everyone's trying to make it, you know, in their own little world. Uh-huh. You know, I'm trying to make it with my job, and make, you know, myself okay and make my family okay. That's right. And it's so hard to, you know, try and be one of the movers and shakers, I...
and so I feel like one day I probably will write a book or, or something, you know, and some of these views will be able to come out. Where do you work? I work at channel six, here. I'm, I'm a news reporter. Oh, you do? That's great! And so, I, I guess, I'm, I'm pretty emotional about crime, things like that now. I've ...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well, that's, you're, you're really performing a, a benefit to society in doing that. A service. Yeah. But still, you know, we can't we can't, I don't know, I, I guess I would like to probably editorialize more. We have to just report what's happening. We can't say, well, this is what I think about, you...
Especially when you are dealing with a, a subject like, uh, capital punishment or something or abortion, or something where there's an, an no or yes side, Right. and you have your side, Uh-huh. and you have to report both sides. Right. But you really don't want to because you have your side. And you have to walk right ...
Thanks for calling. Okay. Bye, bye. Okay. Um, yeah. We're official now, yeah, Yeah, it's um, it's very hot, in fact I've been cleaning, because I live in an apartment Oh, okay, so I can't do very much gardening other than balcony gardening um, you know, Oh, yeah. I have the little flower boxes with, um, a a lot of diff...
Uh-huh. and usually they have talk shows. Uh-huh. Here in Dallas they have two great, uh, talk shows that go through everything that will grow here, which is the opposite probably of what would grow up where you are Uh-huh. Right, right. and so. Uh in fact, you, you could easily do that now, listen to, turn on a talk s...
I'm, I'm with T I. You, are you with T I up there or, No, no, I'm with a defense contractor. Okay. Uh, where was, oh, yeah, no, I, I like it, I, uh, I always know that why I'm not a farmer when I garden though, I mean, it is dog work, and it is tough Uh-huh, uh-huh. I have a lot of trees, down here, uh, the part I don'...
and the wind blows all the leaves on from your neighbor after you rake yours, so other than that, you know, those three months, when it's pure dog work uh, the rest of it's very enjoyable just going through the experiences of, of putting little plants in or whatever Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I, I haven't had to plant any...
Oh, I would have no idea Right, yeah, see, you would have to learn that, though, see No idea whatsoever. Like I said, I'm just a balcony kind of gardener with my little flowers and my flower boxes and my herbs on my window sill, Um. and, Do you have much luck in the Winter, or they're, they're freeze it, freeze out bec...
In the same pot, that's amazing. Uh-huh. but here we still do get some snow and ice and things like that. Yeah, I grow a few things in pots, but we have to bring them in here in the Winter because usually, uh, if it's not below the ground so you can insulate the roots from freezing you know, the pots will, will die, Uh...
whatever subject you pick, do it the knowledgeable way Uh-huh. don't go out there and start digging holes, uh, Right, right, I agree with that. Get some books of whether it be Pennsylvania or Virginia as, as well as, Uh-huh. not your neighbors, of course, they usually know nothing then there's always a gardening part o...
the soil's probably so good Uh-huh. our soil's not very good down here. We're Uh-huh. I guess in the ice age, it, it, it's pushed a lot of, uh, limestone and everything, to some parts of Dallas you just can dig a foot down and you hit solid limestone, you know Wow, uh-huh. so, uh, I think all the trees that are here no...
I'm, it's what they call pecan, pecan pie up there in the East. Uh-huh. from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I'm from New Jersey originally. Uh-huh, oh, you don't sound like it Yeah, I've worked on that with a little chewing gum, which I shouldn't do, uh, Uh-huh Go ahead, you, how many times have you called by the way, or...
Oh, yeah, today, that's what I'm saying, today, I was, I got to laugh, because I tried it this morning, and I thought everybody was gardening, I thought, Well, no Yeah. no. This is a great subject because they're out there gardening, you know, Uh-huh, uh-huh. I didn't tell you what our weather is like. It is beautiful ...
You might have seen, if you've seen the news today about all the tornados here that were north of us. No, I haven't Uh, I don't know if you get C N N. I don't get C N N but it's here at work Uh-huh. in fact, I'm at work today, believe it or not. Oh, uh-huh. But, uh, they have T V in the break areas Uh-huh. and there wa...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. sometimes they do essentially nothing, and the weather men yesterday were all alert, say, hey, there's something really terrible going to happen, and they, they sure were right, but it wasn't in Texas, it was north of us. Uh-huh. Yeah, look at the news tonight, they'll, they'll they claim thirty odd peo...
That, that is a key thing for shade and keeping your bills down, uh, Uh-huh. I guess you have mostly pine trees, but where in Virginia are you all? Um, right now, the District, Washington Uh-huh. um, in Fairfax, Virginia. It's fifteen miles west of Washington, D C. Oh, do you have the cherry blossoms there, in there or...
although again, we have to prepare the soil. Uh-huh. You probably have nice big pine, you probably have all kinds of trees, the oaks and everything, that's one thing I noticed there. Yeah, there, there, there is a vast variety here of, you know, trees, like, if I look out my window right now, I can see, you know, coupl...
Uh-huh. uh, they do have some pine forest areas in in in east Texas where you have native pine trees, Uh-huh. but here in Dallas it's, I think they all were planted by the classical Johnny Appleseed, and Johnny Pecanseed, whatever you would call it, you know, there's a tremendous amount of pecan trees that we use for, ...
And they've come out with some new products, in fact this week, they came out with some new math, uh, you might see them in your advertisements, uh, new math, uh, Speak and Math, uh, devices.

it's kind of scary because they're so bright. They're, all the kids that I have that are Oriental are really far above the American kids. And they, and the, the parents are unbelievable because they are just on the way up. And money is their main goal. And it's it really is kind of scary because there's, there's just o...
and, and I'm not, you know, I don't want to deny them their rights. Just that you, you feel like when you were born and raised here and you worked very hard to make this country what it is, uh, it scares you when you feel like somebody's taking over. And a lot of these people plan one day to go back, you know, to, to V...

So, you know, I really, I, I've, I've always prided myself on not being prejudiced and being, you know, uh, welcome, welcoming everyone that wants to com...
