Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Paul and I were sitting in the State House cafeteria Thursday afternoon planning out the Run of Show for Friday at Four. For once, there was no late-breaking, ‘Holy Cow we’ve GOT to talk about this’ topic to lead the show.
“But, ” I said, “it’s only Thursday.”
Thursday night and Friday morning came and went. Still just a ‘week in review’ lineup.
But sure enough, when I got to the 802 Scoop studio in Barre at 3 PM Friday, on-the-ball Paul clued me in on Gov. Scott’s announcement that he would extend the homeless hotel/motel program through June 30, the end of the fiscal year – but only for the most needy clients.
So that was our lead. We also talked about the financial loss that would befall the average Vermont family if the Trump tax cuts aren’t extended past this year. And about some strong reactions to Paul and I shooting semi-automatic weapons at Parro’s last week. And about the ACLU and Hamas and the announcement that 135 people have died while living in the homeless hotel program.
We also veered off Vermont-policy topic for a few minutes to talk about how we all can help Make America Healthy Again. And about Yak meat. Of course.
Kudos and thank you to Raylene Meunier of 802 Scoop for allowing us to shoot FAF in her accessible, professional studio.

Re: ‘We have an obligation to protect children and those who are most vulnerable’.
This is yet another classic Logical Fallacy. While we all have various ‘obligations’, when does the Governor or the Legislature have the authority to tell each of us what those obligations are? While Paul Bean and Guy Page discuss this current dilemma, perhaps they might discuss the alternatives that the Governor’s logical fallacy ignores.
Re: “We have to own our own health!”
Why then don’t we have to own our own shelter?
Re: ‘Free pastry’???? at the statehouse.
Free? Really?
Yep, contributed by advocacy groups presenting info in the hallway and cafeteria. Free coffee, too.
Re: “The Choices I make today… where there’s one grocery store…”
‘A certain young entrepreneur is going to be doing something about the Northfield food desert – The Yak Cart.’
There’s an important lesson to be learned in this. It’s more than ‘cool’. It shows us personal responsibility. Way to go Paul.
Great discussion, all in all.
Re: …advocacy groups???
Do you mean lobbyists?
What is so dangerous about the conversation? Truth. It’s why we have censorship, lobbyists, pacs, etc….
It also confronts the idea that I may be wrong, or did something wrong, which those who don’t know Jesus Christ, think I’m a good person, many are filled with pride, so how could they be wrong?
Wow, you talked about state ads…..vtdigger will siphon off all the money, no worries there. lol
Homeless, they are not even addressing ANY of the solutions, causes or remedies. We are given two choices, both of which are something no sane person would even consider.
This is how we are played on every controversial issue in the public sphere, and this is how we never solve our problems. This is how the grift is continued. People are making money of lies and deception, abortions make money. Sick people make money. Education, huge profit center, not education center. Vermont even does it against the poor, making bank off of keeping people poor. Affordable housing, Vermonts biggest scam is making bank off you will own nothing and be happy, permanent tenants.
Indivisible is completely Astro turf, btw…
Who’s going to pay for that? Is perhaps the most important question anyone could ask! That should be the first question!!
Well done, well done.
Great ending speaking about our drug problem, and talking about England and the problems with their oppressive government.
