We bailed out General Motors to have them now move their plants to Mexico. Our Legististlooters are at it again. Now since the plant went to Mexico we are now trying to stimulate the Mexican economy and may the illegal immigrants will stay home since we are now providing their jobs, thanks to the American tax payers
The numbers you have been giving this morning are fascinating. Can you post them or give out where they come from.

Hello Mr. Nolan,
I’m just a listener and have become quite a fan of yours since you took over several weeks ago. Keep up the good work.
Gary Gary Gary, the reason the kids cannot find work is, so many drop out of school they cannot have any job skills. We, here in columbia loose alomost 20 % of the students before they graduate. Inner city schools loose more than 50 %. Who is to blame? I work in a retail establishment in columbia and was shocked to see how many kids wanted $10.00 to $12.00 an hour to start.They have no experiences, skills or even dress like they want a job. Who is to blame?
SMITH: Crippling backdoor amnesty
Obama administration plans to turn a blind eye to illegals
By Rep. Lamar Smith
The Washington Times

Illustration by M. Ryder
Although the American people have de- feated (sic) amnesty for illegal immigrants in recent years, this is not stopping President Obama and his administration from trying a backdoor amnesty. Over the past year, the administration has sought to circumvent Congress and use executive-branch authority to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.
Last month, administration officials caved to pressure from their liberal base and announced changes in Secure Communities. This program keeps our neighborhoods safe by identifying illegal and criminal immigrants in police custody who have been arrested and fingerprinted. The changes made by the administration could open the door to allow millions of illegal and criminal immigrants to avoid current immigration laws.
Specifically, the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued two memos to officials on how to exercise “prosecutorial discretion”, such as granting deferred action; deciding whom to stop, question, arrest or detain; and dismissing a removal proceeding. While this authority is justifiable when exercised responsibly, the Obama administration has made clear that it plans not to use these powers but to abuse them.
For example, the ICE memos order officials to consider factors such as ICE’s immigration priorities, BUT ICE HAS EXPRESSED LITTLE INTEREST IN DEPORTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE NOT YER BEEN CONVICTED OF ‘SERIOUS” CRIMES. These memos ALSO INSTRUCT AGENCY OFFICIALS TO CONSIDER THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT’S PURSUIT OF EDUCATION IN THE U.S. This is unprecedented and an open invitation to millions of illegal immigrants.

The ANT
AND THE
GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different ……
Two Different Versions …..
Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is
allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah
with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing,
‘It’s Not Easy Being Green..’
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome.
Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper’s sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper’s plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and,
having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize and ramshackle the once prosperous and peaceful neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest
of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be careful how you vote in 2012
I’ve sent this to you because
I believe that you are an ant!
You may wish to pass this on to other ants, but don’t bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn’t understand it anyway.
Moran’s rant: He misses the point that everyone in society receives the benefit of these social goods (e.g., education, transportation infrastructure, national security), rendering his redistribution argument unintelligible.
We had a poor connection but here is what I wanted to comment on. The coal process being described is called “coal gasification”. The Germans supported their war machine using this process during WWll. The CEO of Jet Blue tried to get congress interested several years ago (according to an interview on your station) but was told they could not because it was not new technology. There was one plant in Montana and the Gov. of Montana was willing to come on programs to talk about it. At least, he was at that time.

Gary, Thought you might want to know that despite all the doom and gloom that has been talked about by the media and that the government supposedly has never exceeded it’s debt limit it is actually not true. It happened in December 2009 for about a week with Democrats in control of both houses and Obama was president. The press largely ignored it – that is the only reason I can think of that everyone keeps saying this is the first time this would have ever happened. Here’s the story: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5987341-503544.html At the time noone cared, so why all the “Republicans are killing the country” talk now?
Gary,
I agree with you that this debt-ceiling compromise is a bad deal. I’m a Tea Partier, for God’s sake, and I want the spending to STOP! The only thing I was trying to suggest in my phone call this morning was that if you could get Congressman Luetkemeyer to agree that the cuts are being made to the 7% increase in the baseline (the increase happens every year), maybe he would acknowledge that we need to make deeper cuts.
I think the Congressman’s point was that this is a first step (however small), and we won’t be able to do much more until the Republicans retake the White House and the Senate.
Take Care,
Jane

The things that you said about American’s with disabilities this morning absolutely sickened me. To suggest that tax dollars should not help those who cannot help themselves is disturbing. Every year our tax dollars (by our I mean everyone- including those with disabilities) are distributed to numerous programs. I am guessing that you enjoy the privileges of many of these programs, yet support none of them. But to suggest that Columbia should not update their accommodations for those with disabilities is just gross. What you are saying is that all the children who are either disabled or handicapped should not be allowed the privilege of swimming in a pool with their peers. Or that someone who is hearing impaired should not have the ability to use a translator to report a crime. Overall, I am very surprise that anyone would feel this way. You are a very lucky individual, as well as unlucky. You do not have to deal with the hardships that many Americans feel because you are an affluent, white, male. But it is unlucky because you will never get to meet any of the individuals who could help inspire your life, because you will be at the pool, and they would not be, if we followed your opinions.
i think that you are wrong Gary it’s not that they don’t know the truth, they know it very well and that allows them to get around it that much better.
I have a friend who is able to listen to your show each day who asked me if I knew what pistol you are referring to when you speak about a pistol used by the Secret Service that will not penetrate walls. He thinks this might be an ideal home defense weapon. I told him I do not know but would ask on his behalf so, I am asking. What model pistol is it to which you refer?
John, it is lose not loose – please! loose means your pants will fall down without a belt. Lose means you lost the belt that keeps your loose pants up.
Gary,
As long as they keep us asking the wrong questions, no one in office cares about the answer.
The question to ask is Who is the Federal Reserve and why are we giving them our money to loan back to us?
What we are doing is this: I go out and earn money, I give the money I earned to another party. That party loans my money back to me and now I am in Debt. If that isn’t the most stupid thing to do, but we “Americans” do this every day.
The Income Tax we pay does not build any road, build any hospital, build any school, or feed any hungry person….it all goes to pay some fictious debt. We are all so stupid and we deserve exactly the government we have, and we deserve to be in this position, we all let it happen.
If you allow anyone, even government to take advantage of us….guess what, they will.
r old isn’t able to evaluate properly.
Gary,
I caught some of your show while driving past Columbia.
I tried to call in but passed out of coverage.
I stopped for gas and want to respond.
Mormons do not believe most of the items listed by your show.
You ask if you can be president and be that gullible.
Can you be gullible enough to believe this stuff is Mormon doctrine should you be a talk show host?
There are way out people in any church but that is not doctrine.
Want Mormon doctrine ask a mormon

I’m not sure Mr Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan can be as simple as it seems. If 9% is deducted from wages—-then FICA and other government deductions eliminated—-how is SS to be funded? Or other existing retirement contracts?
You are dropping [13+% of employer& employee FICA], plus [worker income tax]. Doesn’t that leaves 5% [from the 9-9 tax] plus 9% sales tax to fund all else. Fund SS from general revenue? OR?
The other side of that: add 9% tax for SS payments plus 9% sales tax, as an 18% bump on senior tax costs???
Or exempt retirement payments from the 9% income tax and only tax wages…..that also doesn’t seem fair. I don’t see exemptions to cease.
Valor theft:
I think you miss the point that Congress is alwaysl involved in a CMH award. It doesn’t end with just the award. It can and should protect honorees. The cretin that falsely claims a CMH dishonors the real recipients. Congress should act in defense of the award.
Now, other awards from the DOD may not be so protected–silver star, purple heart, etc. But, they are not directly awarded from Congress.
Mr Nolan,
I’ve been a fan of your show for a very long time so writing about disagreeing with you seems like a foreign concept. However, I do completely disagree with you about officer Sanders. As more info is coming out it’s obvious this “officer” believes he’s above the law. A video has surfaced of him pulling a car over and then telling the occupants he needs no probable cause to pull them over. Since when? This guy is an ego-maniac and should not be representing the city of Columbia as a police officer.
Hello! I have recently started to listen to 93.9 because I tired of the celebrity newest scandals of the day. Today you played the message to the Oakland PD from a random citizen somewhere in the US (which I laughed at multiple times today while watching the video) and I have to get my voice out there. I’m 29, a product of public schooling, and an honorably discharged sailor. I am currently a college student and I have used up my VA Montgomery GI Bill (school benefits) so now I’m having to take out student loans my last year. I work full time and go to school full time, which on top of those duties I’m a wife, a stepmother, homeowner, car owner, responsible pet owner, chef, maid, a friend and so on. I pay bills. I have a credit card bill I pay monthly. I pay monthly on my student loans. When my family needs something (food, shoes, toilet paper, etc) I save my money and go buy it. When my college returned over $1100 of my student loans back to me because I received grants and scholarships, instead of spending the money, or keeping it for a rainy day celebration, I returned it to the bank I am borrowing from, which in turn will not only help lower the amount, but when I decide to return for grad school, I will have that much more funds to get me through to the end. I do not complain about the bills or student loans interest or amount, I simply pay it back with the interest that I promised to pay when I first signed the agreement because I am an honest, hard working, contributing American. I really wish my generation would get a clue as to what their parents should have taught them; mean what you say and say what you mean. Where the heck is the common sense anymore? What is so difficult to understand by a master promissory note and loans documents when they signed for the loans? Did they not fully understand or where they really expecting their parents to pay their bills, like they have always done? Maybe that’s whats wrong, todays gen “x” expects for their parents to pay for everything. I work with someone that told me that her father still pays for everything, they are 26y/o, cut the umbilical cord and let my generation grow up! Thanks for keeping it real (even if I am a Republican with Tea Party leanings!) =)
Gary, great guest this morning, would you please repeat the website he referenced? I wish I could listen more to your show more often but I have one of those pesky JOBS and theyre hard to come by. You know, guests like this as well as a lot of your callers make me feel very optimistic , more so even than you, about our future, a lot of us are waking up and staying up, and the truth is, Liberals when faced with the facts, simply FOLD, its impossible for them to be passionate once they realize theyre actually wrong. Lets make a list of everybody responsible for paying back the national debt…….pretty short list, you, me and our friends who work and stay out of trouble, screw the 99% Gary heres to the 47% or whatever percent we are.. Tom
This is about the man, who shot the guy stealing his wallet. I don’t feel he is guilty in his mind he is still under assault. and we need to send a message to the scum that would steal money from a family or the livelihood from a family, you may get shot if you comity a crime. someone steal from me and take food from my kids or possibly loose my home because of the theft of the money ,they will go down!
All of you softies giving thieves more rights that a man that works and earns a check is why we have crime running ramp-it.
“pimping out young boys to rich (Penn State) donors.” How does someone find rich people willing to pay for young boys? How big is the market for young boys?. I just don’t understand how its possible that more than one rich donor has that interest.
Look in today’s Wall St. Jour. Cost to operate regional carriers is a losing proposition. Planes are not big enough as concerns passenger /gallon of fuel to make a profit.
What was the senate bill #s of the terrorism and acts of war bills that take away all of our rights? i want to call D C but didn’t get the bill #’s so i can call

Work Ethics
My mother raised 7 children. In my early years, before about 8 years old, us siblings were split up amoung our relitives. Two children with one family, two with another, and three at home. When we moved back to Columbia I was in the third grade (9 years old). We lived in one side of my grandmothers house. There was an aunt next door, another aunt & uncle across the alley, and another around the corner. My first job was for my uncle. We lived three blocks from the Wabash railroad station and the grain elevators located there. I approached my uncle about buying grain that layed on the ground around the elevator. He loaned me a wheelborrow to haul the grain. This was a dirty job with dirt and grain dust and husk to sift through.
Tribune; Later, when about 11 years, my brother had a newspaper route he no longer wanted to work because some of the people just did not want to pay their bill. I took over and delivered the paper. I would consistently return to the delinquint and be a pest until they divied up.
Wigwam Cafe; I also worked in a restrauant washing dishes, bussing dishes, waiting counter, and tables, and cooking at different stages between the age of 12 and 14.
Bowling Palace; Later I graduated to working at a bowling alley setting pins. I don’t mean the automatic or semi automatic setters; but jumping down in the pit, grabbing the ball and putting it on the ball return, picking up pins, putting them in the rack and pushing the reset bar down, holding until the pins were stable and then waiting to do it all over again.
Bob Worley’s Market. During the 11 & 12 grade I went to work at Bob’s market in the meat department. I learned to cut meat and prepare meat in the fashion of the day.
Then in 1962 I joined the Navy as my obligation and ended with 22+ years of active duty and 4 reserve.
As you can see my family did not have much but I did not cry or blame society for my troubles. It appeared to me that this was all a part of life and growing up. Work was not an evil thing to be avoided.
At the ripe young age of 68 I still stay active and try not to let my body become a bother to others. As Poeh Bear would say, “Oh bother”.
I graduated from Hickman in 1962 and in our class of 303 I believe there were about 20 African-Americans. Back then it was proper to say Negro but not nigger. Negro means black while nigger is being derogatory. I never heard of any one being negative to someone in our class because of race. I suppose it did happen.
While delivering newspapers and setting pins I worked with many African-Americans and as far as I was concerned the only difference was that they were darker than myself. My cousin was also darker than I.
Sorry for the rambling,

i would like to reply to comments made by a lisner on your show this morning about child support payments and “EBT” cards
1. child support is not collected by the federal govement
in the state of missouri it is collect by the department of family services
2. the parent paying the child support has no choice in missouri to pay it directly to the other parent it must be done through the “D.F.S.” this agency sends payroll withholding orders to the employers of all parents paying support.
3. the D.F.S. does not put this money on ebt cards but deposits the funds directly onto standard debiet cards or into the recipants bank account
4. i personally dislike the term died beat dad. female parents whom are orders to pay child support are more than twice as likely as their male conter parts to be behind in their support payments. a more political correct term would be died beat parent
Interesting article on who creates jobs.

Hey Gary got a question,when the conceal and carry was passed bussiness’s had the option to post a sign concealed weapons not allowed if no sign concealed weapons are allowed. why don’t bussiness owners have this right for smoking? 1 is just as dangerous as the other. to me sounds like prejudice by the goverment lol. By the way I am not a smoker, never have been but right is right.
Gary,Gary,Gary you left us High and dry, just when things got interesting in Syracuse,NY on talk Radio you bailed on us. Well needless to say the old employer of yours out of the blue switched format on us the other day to rock and now we are left with no GOOD talk Radio in our market. Please come back.
This guy acts like trapped animal when he doesn’t want to answer a question. I don’t want my scripts tracked because of ONE guy! What an ass! He reminds me of claire mckaskill
Unemployment Definition – Abbott and Costello
COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .
ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible times. It’s 9%.
COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.
COSTELLO: You just said 9%.
ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 16% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that’s 9%…
COSTELLO: Wait a minute. Is it 9% or 16%?
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.
COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.
COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work, can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how you get to 9%. Otherwise it would be 16%. You don’t want to read about 16% unemployment do ya?
COSTELLO: That would be frightening.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they’re two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
OSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like an economist.
COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the **** I just said!
And now you know why Obama’s unemployment figures are improving!
This is so wrong for several reasons…
I am reminded of that cinema masterpiece The Postman where kevin costner kept telling everybody “things are getting better, things are getting better everyday” he had no clue. Remind you of anything?
