6:10-6:20:

- Bill has a serious squirrel and chipmunk problem and they are not only plentiful, but active!

- In New York Mills an 18-month-old baby was found in the middle of the road and the parents have been arrested. The neighbor couldn't believe their eyes when the kids was playing in the street.

- These parents were intoxicated and did not realize the child was out there because they were intoxicated. The parents were also charged for resisting arrest and endangering the welfare of a child.

- There is a democratic letter circulating from Frank Meola that basically talks about Tim Trent, Frank Vescera, Jim Zecca, and LoMedico. This letter shows an active Frank Meola in the democratic party and Bill believes that leadership shows we deserve to have a talk with him.

- Wayne calls up to comment on the 18-month-old story.

6:20-6:30:

Lt. Colonel Jeff Addicott - Former Green Beret

- Lt. Colonel Addicott gives his opinion on foreign policy and the idea that we are the world. The reasons for going overseas to take these actions are muddied.

- He was opposed to the 2003 war in Iraq, but once you're there you have to stay committed and deal with it.

- He believes we can't change some of these countries and if you put boots on the ground you'd have to leave them there for 200 years because there will always be the next ISIS.

- If he was the President he would make a very clear statement saying that we bombed them because they beheaded two Americans and we crushed them. If they persist, you bomb again.

- His idea and philosophy is if they hit us small, hit them huge. If they hit us big, we annihilate them.

- We talk about the role of religion as their motivation. We unfortunately were cut off with Lt. Colonel Addicott due to time.
