Speaker 1: This is The Other Side of Midnight.
Speaker 2: They're running a strange program, y'all.
Speaker 1: With Walter Sterling.
Speaker 3: Come and listen to my story about a man named.
Speaker 4: Walter, a radio genius who would seldom falter.
Speaker 3: Then one day he was hanging around the station when
Speaker 3: his bosses decided to unleash him on the nation.
Speaker 5: Corporate, you know, Brooks Brothers Suits Club ties. Next thing
Speaker 5: you know, young Walter's VP, they gave him an office
Speaker 5: in New York City.
Speaker 4: But things didn't turn out exactly quite right.
Speaker 5: Now he's back on the other side of midnight.
Speaker 4: Weird callers, flying saucers, Florida stories.
Speaker 6: Eddie Murphy might have lost $ 15 million to his ex-wife
Speaker 6: in 2006, but he'd later watch the universe perform the
Speaker 6: ultimate audit on her, delivered in the form of another man.
Speaker 6: Eddie and Nicole met in 1988, when he was the
Speaker 6: biggest movie star on the planet, and she was a
Speaker 6: stunning 20-year-old model. They tied the knot in 1993 at
Speaker 6: a wedding that cost a whopping $ 1. 5 million. For over
Speaker 6: a decade, they were a happy family with five kids
Speaker 6: and managed to stay out of the messy tabloid scandals
Speaker 6: that usually wreck celebrity marriages. In 2005, Nicole filed for divorce,
Speaker 6: citing irreconcilable differences. The settlement was a massive blow to
Speaker 6: Eddie's fortune. Nicole walked away with a staggering $ 15 million
Speaker 6: lump sum. At the time, Eddie wasn't thrilled about the payout.
Speaker 6: He had worked his life for that money, and handing
Speaker 6: over a $ 15 million check felt like a robbery. But
Speaker 6: he got back to work, filmed more hits, and made
Speaker 6: the money back ten times over. Nicole, however, decided to
Speaker 6: take her new money and invest it. handed 11 million
Speaker 6: of her settlement to a childhood friend, Troy Stratus, who
Speaker 6: claimed to have exclusive oil deals with Middle Eastern royalty.
Speaker 6: Their bond reportedly bordered on romantic, allowing Stratus to move
Speaker 6: into her luxury homes and live a playboy lifestyle on
Speaker 6: her dime. He even convinced her that he was being
Speaker 6: generous by paying for her high-end European vacations. In truth,
Speaker 6: he was actually using Nicole's own stolen money. By the
Speaker 6: time the FBI caught up to him, the investments were non-existent.
Speaker 6: Not only did Nicole lose the $ 11 million, she was
Speaker 6: left facing a $ 900, 000 IRS debt because Stratos hadn't paid
Speaker 6: her taxes or the mortgage on her Granite Bay mansion.
Speaker 6: She was forced to sell her home and liquidate her
Speaker 6: assets just to stay out of legal trouble. In 2016,
Speaker 6: Stratos was finally sentenced to 22 years in prison. Eddie
Speaker 6: Murphy had moved on to a massive new fortune and
Speaker 6: a new family, while the woman who walked away with
Speaker 6: his millions was essentially starting back at zero.
Speaker 4: Nothing has ruined Western culture more than feminism. Feminism is
Speaker 4: one of the greatest scams in the history of the earth.
Speaker 4: The most successful marketing campaign in history was not done
Speaker 4: by Nike, not done by Apple or McDonald's. It was feminism.
Speaker 4: Convincing an entire generation of women that their greatest power
Speaker 4: was actually a weakness. Think about it. Women can do
Speaker 4: something that no man can do. They can give birth
Speaker 4: to life to other humans. That's a superpower. And somehow
Speaker 4: we were sold on the idea that that's a lesser path.
Speaker 4: Imagine convincing women that shaping the future of civilization by
Speaker 4: raising kids, that's settling. But answering emails from nine to
Speaker 4: six Monday through Friday for a corporation that can replace
Speaker 4: you in two weeks, that's empowerment. They didn't liberate women
Speaker 4: from the home. They liberated a second income for the
Speaker 4: government to tax. And now, the average family needs two
Speaker 4: paychecks to barely afford what one paycheck used to afford.
Speaker 4: We call that progress in the name of feminism. There
Speaker 4: is no replacing a mom who is home. No daycare
Speaker 4: will ever be able to raise your children as well
Speaker 4: and as good as your mom. no babysitter, no caretaker,
Speaker 4: no housemaid, no butler, no one will ever be able
Speaker 4: to substitute the value that your family has when mom
Speaker 4: is at home and the stability that brings as well.
Speaker 5: Very unpopular to agree with that. And that's tragic because
Speaker 5: I completely agree with that. I'm going to tell you
Speaker 5: something that if you're of a certain age, you won't
Speaker 5: believe me. However, it is fact. In elementary school, and
Speaker 5: middle school. At lunchtime, kids went home for lunch. There
Speaker 5: was no cafeteria. Many elementary schools had no cafeteria. They
Speaker 5: didn't go to a cafeteria for lunch. They didn't sit outside.
Speaker 5: They went home at about an hour and 15 minutes
Speaker 5: to walk home, have lunch at home with mom, and
Speaker 5: then walk back to school. Got a break. filled mom
Speaker 5: in on what was going on. Mom could see if
Speaker 5: you were feeling good, not feeling good, what you were
Speaker 5: eating or not eating. That went on for decades and
Speaker 5: decades and decades. Sometimes, if I was lucky, mom would
Speaker 5: pick me up at school, maybe with one of her friends,
Speaker 5: and we'd go to a diner. Oh, that was the best.
Speaker 5: If mom took us to a diner, but somehow or another,
Speaker 5: we got back in time. This will sound crazy. Not figuratively, literally,
Speaker 5: everything changed when women wore slacks to work. The minute
Speaker 5: women wore slacks to work, the culture changed. It seems
Speaker 5: like a simple thing. No reason women can't wear slacks
Speaker 5: to work, of course, but it changed everything. And at
Speaker 5: the same time, our culture, our society was saying, well,
Speaker 5: you really should go to work. You can work if
Speaker 5: you want. There's no reason not to work. What's amazing
Speaker 5: is that in the 50 years since that happened till today,
Speaker 5: the type of work women are doing is exactly the
Speaker 5: same as they were doing 50 years ago. What type
Speaker 5: of work did women do 50 years ago? They did sewing,
Speaker 5: child care, cooking. Did they Go mining? Did they drill mines? No.
Speaker 5: Build bridges? No. Pave roads? No. They did none of
Speaker 5: the physical work 50 years ago, and they do none
Speaker 5: of the physical work today. 50 years ago they were secretaries.
Speaker 5: Today they're in HR. That's the difference. They're still doing
Speaker 5: thought work. They have not taken over the world of men.
Speaker 5: They've just changed it. from being secretaries and assistants and
Speaker 5: clerical work to being in human resources, public relations, advertising.
Speaker 5: That's the only difference. In our culture, there are certain
Speaker 5: people who have different roles, and some of the roles
Speaker 5: are coveted, and some of them are less coveted. Women
Speaker 5: always have a coveted role. They will always be valued
Speaker 5: because they can make something of value until menopause. Women
Speaker 5: of after menopause age technically have no role. They have
Speaker 5: a role of taking care of grandchildren, but it's not
Speaker 5: an established role and it's not defaulting to them. Minorities
Speaker 5: have a role because they are exalted, protected, Laws protect them. Teenagers,
Speaker 5: male and female, they have a role. Because again, they're applauded, encouraged.
Speaker 5: They're the future. They're protected. They're protected both by laws
Speaker 5: and by our society. But there are people who have
Speaker 5: no role. And those are 18 to 34-year-old single men. Now,
Speaker 5: what happened in the mid-1960s, which did not happen before,
Speaker 5: but it started in the 1960s and continues to this
Speaker 5: day in growing numbers, is there are 18 to 34-year-old
Speaker 5: men who absolutely will not be leaving the house. They
Speaker 5: are going to stay home. They need to be supported
Speaker 5: by their parents. Their parents have food, clothing, and shelter.
Speaker 5: Their parents are not throwing them out. There they are
Speaker 5: at home. Do they have a job?
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: Do they have a full-time job? No. Are they in
Speaker 5: the military?
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: Are they married?
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: Do they have kids?
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 5: They are dependent on their parents. They are children. They
Speaker 5: do not have a role. They're the members of the
Speaker 5: family that nobody goes to for advice. Whoever that is,
Speaker 5: no one's going to them for advice. Cousins, relatives, no,
Speaker 5: no one's going to them for advice. They stay home.
Speaker 5: They have no role. It started in the late 1960s.
Speaker 5: And what happened was two things. One was the wage
Speaker 5: price freeze in the late 1960s, early 1970s, where it
Speaker 5: became very quickly economically preferable for two people in that
Speaker 5: house to have jobs. It became almost a necessity because
Speaker 5: a couple things happened. Mortgages went up to 18%. Oh,
Speaker 5: you didn't know that. In the early 1980s, mortgages went
Speaker 5: up to 18%. Today, a huge mortgage is 6%. My God,
Speaker 5: who could pay that well? Thousands, millions. of homes were
Speaker 5: foreclosed upon because only one income was coming into those houses.
Speaker 5: They couldn't afford the mortgage. Floating mortgage rates killed them.
Speaker 5: And as a result, mom had to go out and
Speaker 5: get a job. Culturally, at the same time, the world
Speaker 5: was saying, you should be working. You should go to work.
Speaker 5: There's no reason for you to be stuck at home,
Speaker 5: trapped with your kids, forced to be a mother. This
Speaker 5: was all promoted by women who had no children. Jane Fonda,
Speaker 5: Betty Furness, they had no children. They were promoting a
Speaker 5: world where women worked and let someone else take care
Speaker 5: of the kids. It wasn't important. What has this done
Speaker 5: to the kids? They're going home to empty houses. They
Speaker 5: feel less safe. They have no place and nobody to
Speaker 5: put their lives into perspective. And what do we have?
Speaker 5: Depressed kids, ADHD, kids addicted to you name it, because
Speaker 5: there's no buffer. There's nobody there. Now, let me share
Speaker 5: with you what happens in feminism. If feminism was true,
Speaker 5: if it was followed through on in the truest sense,
Speaker 5: A man should be able to look at his wife
Speaker 5: and his kids and say, you know what? Mom's making
Speaker 5: enough money. I'm going to stay home. I want to
Speaker 5: stay home and take care of the kids. I want
Speaker 5: to take care of the house. I'm good at this.
Speaker 5: I want to do it. And mom's making enough money.
Speaker 5: She's making enough money to support us. Mom, I'm going
Speaker 5: to stay home. And you're going to go to work.
Speaker 5: Stay at work. She's already working. You stay at work.
Speaker 5: You're making enough money for all of us. I don't
Speaker 5: want to work anymore. How often would a woman say, hey,
Speaker 5: that's great. No problem. Good idea. If every woman said that,
Speaker 5: 90% of the women said that, then the promise of
Speaker 5: feminism would would have come to fruition.
Speaker 4: Nothing has ruined Western culture more than feminism. Feminism is
Speaker 4: one of the greatest scams in the history of the earth.
Speaker 4: The most successful marketing campaign in history was not done
Speaker 4: by Nike, not done by Apple or McDonald's. It was feminism.
Speaker 4: Convincing an entire generation of women that their greatest power
Speaker 4: was actually a weakness. Think about it. Women can do
Speaker 4: something that no man can do. They can give birth
Speaker 4: to life to other humans. That's a superpower. And somehow
Speaker 4: we were sold on the idea that that's a lesser path.
Speaker 4: Imagine convincing women that shaping the future of civilization by
Speaker 4: raising kids, that's settling. But answering emails from 9 to
Speaker 4: 6 Monday through Friday for a corporation that can replace
Speaker 4: you in two weeks, that's empowerment. They didn't liberate women
Speaker 4: from the home. They liberated a second income from the
Speaker 4: government attacks. And now, the average family needs two paychecks
Speaker 4: to barely afford what one paycheck used to afford. We
Speaker 4: call that progress in the name of feminism. There is
Speaker 4: no replacing a mom who is home. No daycare will
Speaker 4: ever be able to raise your children as well and
Speaker 4: as good as your mom. No babysitter, no caretaker, no housemaid,
Speaker 4: no butler, no one will ever be able to substitute
Speaker 4: the value that your family has when mom is at
Speaker 4: home and the stability that brings as well.
Speaker 5: Now about those men who are at home. The men
Speaker 5: who are at home. Mom, dad, retired. Here they've got
Speaker 5: their 28-year-old son, not in the army, not working, not married,
Speaker 5: sitting at home doing nothing. doesn't have a role that
Speaker 5: guy doesn't have a role he's dangerous because any man
Speaker 5: anybody who does not have a role in our culture
Speaker 5: is dangerous because they will seek excitement in all of
Speaker 5: its forms.
Speaker 10: We go to tj maxx when we don't need anything
Speaker 10: it's just a part of our mental health day We
Speaker 10: just want to go look at stuff and smell candles.
Speaker 4: I feel good.
Speaker 10: At TJ Maxx knowing that anything I would ever need
Speaker 10: in life I could get right.
Speaker 2: Here in.
Speaker 5: This store. 800-848-9222. Walter Sterling live on the radio. It's
Speaker 5: a live radio show. The Other Side of Midnight from
Speaker 5: the Red Apple Audio Networks.
Speaker 1: The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. It's The
Speaker 1: Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. If you want to.
Speaker 11: Go to Figgly Wiggly or fight an alligator in a swamp,
Speaker 11: then The Other Side of Midnight has what you want.
Speaker 11: It's Florida Stories.
Speaker 12: I'm James Parker and this.
Speaker 7: Is Florida Stories.
Speaker 12: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Hey, thank you.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 12: Good to see you. I'm about to ruin that with
Speaker 12: some real stupidity here. For our first Florida story is
Speaker 12: a woman who has some addiction issues.
Speaker 5: She gets busted.
Speaker 12: Now, once you get busted and you know you have priors,
Speaker 12: you got to know that any other time that you
Speaker 12: have an interaction with cops, you get pulled over or
Speaker 12: anything like that. then the cops are going to be
Speaker 12: extra suspicious of you. And so maybe you want to
Speaker 12: try and keep a low profile. Well, at some point,
Speaker 12: this woman went to the store and saw a bag.
Speaker 12: Now on it, it said definitely not a bag full
Speaker 12: of drugs. Now, I don't mean somebody wrote on it
Speaker 12: with a Sharpie. It was not embroidered, but was that
Speaker 12: screen printed on there? And so she gets pulled over.
Speaker 12: You're not going to believe what they found in it.
Speaker 12: You know, at least she had the Narcan in there, though.
Speaker 12: She's She's a well-seasoned Florida. If you're not familiar, Narcan
Speaker 12: is what you take when you overdose. So she was
Speaker 12: just ready to party there. Sorry I got interrupted. But
Speaker 12: it's just like I almost feel like you don't believe
Speaker 12: me when I say that because.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, they got on the radio making stuff up.
Speaker 12: No, a Florida woman who has priors was keeping her
Speaker 12: drugs in a bag that said definitely not a bag
Speaker 12: full of drugs. And she got busted.
Speaker 1: Hold my beer. Hold my beer.
Speaker 2: Hold my beer.
Speaker 12: For our next Florida story, we have a husband and
Speaker 12: wife who got together A while back, they got married
Speaker 12: in Connecticut around 2003, and she is of Puerto Rican heritage.
Speaker 12: And I don't know if that contributes to how fiery
Speaker 12: she is, but she became so abusive that at some
Speaker 12: point he had to move out of the house that
Speaker 12: he himself was living in. He was able to get
Speaker 12: a divorce. They split up since she can't support herself.
Speaker 12: She had to go back and stay with some family
Speaker 12: in Puerto Rico. Well, they had rekindled. their romance and
Speaker 12: they were going to give it another try. They meet
Speaker 12: up in Florida. They're headed back to Connecticut to try
Speaker 12: and resume their married life, but they get into an
Speaker 12: argument in Clearwater, Florida. And at some point, uh, there's
Speaker 12: a lot of alcohol involved. She beats him with a toy,
Speaker 12: with an adult toy. And so he has to, and
Speaker 12: it doesn't say where she hit him. I don't, that's
Speaker 12: up to your imagination, but the, uh, the cops get
Speaker 12: there and he tells them, yeah, we have a history
Speaker 12: of She's done this before. They can see her priors. She,
Speaker 12: of course, is ragingly drunk. They have a hard time
Speaker 12: communicating with her. And eventually she did admit to using
Speaker 12: the toy on him. I mean, not just she hit
Speaker 12: him with it.
Speaker 1: Hold my beer. Hold my beer.
Speaker 5: We have a Florida man, 29 years old.
Speaker 12: A Florida woman, 53 years old. And they're over at
Speaker 12: the bus stop in front of a Wendy's restaurant adjacent
Speaker 12: to US Highway 19. And they're caught doing what's called
Speaker 12: an unnatural act. Now, I don't know what that means,
Speaker 12: an unnatural hack, because it sounds like it's probably something sexual,
Speaker 12: but isn't sex natural? I didn't go to law school. However,
Speaker 12: I don't want to dig too further in this one,
Speaker 12: because when you look in the mugshots, I'm having a
Speaker 12: hard time telling which one's which. I mean, they both
Speaker 12: kind of look like the dude, so... Maybe we're just
Speaker 12: better off not knowing what an unnatural act is in
Speaker 12: the eyes of the Florida law. Please, God.
Speaker 4: Next story.
Speaker 1: Hold my beer.
Speaker 4: Hold my beer.
Speaker 12: Well, for our next Florida story, we're going to go
Speaker 12: to the Botanica Day Spa in Clearwater, where a Florida
Speaker 12: man goes in to get a massage. And, you know,
Speaker 12: I don't know. how people know which day spa is
Speaker 12: the right day spa or which massage parlor is the
Speaker 12: right massage parlor. But apparently this is one of the
Speaker 12: ones that gives a little extra service. So, uh, the
Speaker 12: guy at the end of the massage, uh, he gets
Speaker 12: flipped over and the masseuse kind of brushes up against it.
Speaker 12: And he's like, Oh, okay. I'm sure that was an accident.
Speaker 12: And then that kind of, is that a, that feels
Speaker 12: like a mouth. Well, I don't mean to ruin what
Speaker 12: would otherwise be an interesting, maybe even fun story, but
Speaker 12: it turns out the masseuse problem is a dude. That's
Speaker 12: not what I was expecting either. There's a lot of
Speaker 12: fellas who'd probably be okay with that. This guy wasn't.
Speaker 12: So he jumps up, actually runs out of the massage
Speaker 12: parlor to his car naked, calls cops, and they come
Speaker 12: and arrest the guy. He's like, oh, look, I thought
Speaker 12: I was doing him a favor. I was just trying
Speaker 12: to earn a tip.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 12: Get me out of here.
Speaker 1: Hold my beer.
Speaker 12: Hold my beer. Now, here we are in the same episode.
Speaker 12: We have another Public sex story. This one's down in
Speaker 12: Key West. And, you know, you hear about how freaky
Speaker 12: Key West is because they got all the creepy middle
Speaker 12: middle aged swingers going there. But even in Key West,
Speaker 12: you're not allowed to do it on a public sidewalk. However,
Speaker 12: a couple of interesting variables in this version of the story.
Speaker 12: The woman is 38. The man's 41. And she looks
Speaker 12: all right. You've definitely done worse than that. I've certainly
Speaker 12: done worse than that. I'm impressed at the time.
Speaker 4: 4.20 in the morning.
Speaker 12: And that's not like a weed thing.
Speaker 2: Smoke weed every day.
Speaker 12: But to still have that kind of game, that kind
Speaker 12: of scene control, have her interest, still have her be
Speaker 12: awake and alive and attuned and turned on at 4.20
Speaker 12: in the morning. I just assume there has to be
Speaker 12: drugs involved.
Speaker 1: Hold my beer.
Speaker 9: Hold my beer.
Speaker 4: Hold my beer.
Speaker 5: I'm James Parker.
Speaker 12: Florida Stories is a Spring Rock production on the Red
Speaker 12: Apple Audio Network.
Speaker 5: Walter Sterling, 30 minutes past the hour, on the air
Speaker 5: in Chicago on WGN with Chuck in Illinois. Chuck in Illinois,
Speaker 5: welcome to the other side of midnight.
Speaker 7: Hi. Hello. Yeah, the stuff that you just went through,
Speaker 7: I've been there in Florida. I know night... 19 and
Speaker 7: Key West, and also the Mountain Blue and the Pier 66.
Speaker 7: I'm sure that you know those places, too.
Speaker 5: So you have money?
Speaker 7: No, I don't have money. I had enough that I
Speaker 7: could fly my own plane and a few things like that.
Speaker 5: Your own plane?
Speaker 7: They always thought you had money, yes.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 7: But also I was one of those kids that, uh,
Speaker 7: had walked home from school for lunch. And, uh, I'm, uh,
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm fortunate enough to be looking at, uh,
Speaker 7: age 91 here in a couple of days.
Speaker 5: So you're our youngest listener. You are the youngest listener.
Speaker 7: Yes. And, uh, and my wife was one of the
Speaker 7: beautiful women that, uh, we got into some multilevel marketing,
Speaker 7: and she was able to make as high as $ 500
Speaker 7: a day, and it was mostly because she was beautiful.
Speaker 7: And it wasn't what people would think, you know. It
Speaker 7: just happened to be one of those.
Speaker 5: What were you marketing? What were you marketing?
Speaker 7: At that time, we were marketing what they called the
Speaker 7: Slim Jim, and we were getting different... Uh, dealers under us,
Speaker 7: if we, if we get a new dealer, why we
Speaker 7: could make, you know, like 500 bucks on that, you know, and, uh,
Speaker 7: it was going great guns. So it just petered out, but, uh, we,
Speaker 7: and we met all kinds of people, you know, while
Speaker 7: we were involved in that sort of thing. Also. I
Speaker 7: know Route 19 there. My parents had it placed over
Speaker 7: in Crystal River. And I've flown into some of the
Speaker 7: airports down in Florida, one thing and another. But also,
Speaker 7: I had a small corporation that....
Speaker 5: Are you going to leave me money? If you own
Speaker 5: the corporation, are you going.
Speaker 7: To leave me money? Not at this point. I'll tell
Speaker 7: you what. I guess the legislators and one thing or
Speaker 7: another just made it impossible to run that sort of thing.
Speaker 5: What sort of thing?
Speaker 7: You know, and I was up against the Chinese there. Chinese?
Speaker 7: During that period, you know, anything you want. Anything you
Speaker 7: wanted to do.
Speaker 5: Chinese. Peter in Illinois. Welcome to the other side of
Speaker 5: midnight with Walter Sterling.
Speaker 7: Hi, Peter.
Speaker 9: Hello, Walter. It's very good to be able to speak
Speaker 9: with you. I'm out here in Illinois. I'd like to
Speaker 9: comment on your conversation on special education last Wednesday.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 9: I listened to your radio show on my way home
Speaker 9: from work. And as someone who grew up with a
Speaker 9: hearing loss and learning disabilities and an attention deficit disorder,
Speaker 9: my parents were public school teachers, and I needed a
Speaker 9: speech pathologist when I was younger because I stuttered. And
Speaker 9: the district told my parents that they couldn't do that.
Speaker 9: They just didn't have the resources. Despite the fact my
Speaker 9: parents were being public educators, told the district that they
Speaker 9: were bound by to do that by law.
Speaker 5: Correct. Correct.
Speaker 9: They screwed around and screwed around, and eventually the head
Speaker 9: of curriculum for the district, whom I will not name,
Speaker 9: told my dad that your son is going to be
Speaker 9: a never-do-well. He's not going to amount to anything. You
Speaker 9: really should put him in special ed. That's the best
Speaker 9: place for him. My mother, of course, was absolutely furious.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 9: And eventually, my parents ended up pulling my older sisters
Speaker 9: out of the district and sent them to a Catholic
Speaker 9: school because it was much better run. We ended up
Speaker 9: moving out of that town. My dad transferred districts to
Speaker 9: a different district where I was mainstreamed and put into
Speaker 9: a regular school setting. But what I wanted to comment on, Walter,
Speaker 9: was how you stress that a parent has to be
Speaker 9: an advocate for their child.
Speaker 7: Correct.
Speaker 9: And a lot of parents do not understand that. And
Speaker 9: it becomes a big shock to them how much work
Speaker 9: they have to do, how much research, how frustrating it is,
Speaker 9: and how many school districts don't promote what they're supposed
Speaker 9: to do legally.
Speaker 5: Many school districts do not promote what they're supposed to
Speaker 5: do legally because they don't want to spend the money
Speaker 5: for that kid. They'd rather spend the money for like
Speaker 5: a new gym or office furniture. But here's what's important
Speaker 5: to remember. It's something key you said, which is that
Speaker 5: by law, whatever a child needs in a public school
Speaker 5: system to be accommodated, to make it possible for them
Speaker 5: to read, write, do math, whatever accommodation is necessary, by law,
Speaker 5: that school district must provide, absolutely must provide. And the
Speaker 5: part about vigilance on the part of the parent, Absolutely true.
Speaker 5: None of them are going to inform you. None of
Speaker 5: them are going to keep you up to date. You
Speaker 5: have to keep them up to date. And it's nonstop.
Speaker 5: It does not hurt to have a lawyer. Lawyers help.
Speaker 5: And because why would you know the maze of public
Speaker 5: school bureaucracy relative to special ed? Why would any parent
Speaker 5: know that? And thank you very much for the call, Peter.
Speaker 5: No parent would know that. They need help. It is
Speaker 5: not unreasonable. to say, you know what, we need help.
Speaker 5: There are advocates for parents who have special needs kids
Speaker 5: who will help a parent through that maze, know all
Speaker 5: the rules and regulations, know what is required, know what
Speaker 5: that school district must do. But remember, and this is
Speaker 5: something my wife and I learned, the kid's not going
Speaker 5: to get a second chance. It isn't like I learn
Speaker 5: all of these rules and I learn the laws of
Speaker 5: special ed and then You know, a year or two later,
Speaker 5: we're able to get all that stuff done. That's a
Speaker 5: year or two missed. Seventh grade, sixth grade, fifth grade,
Speaker 5: that's a year or two missed. Cannot afford it. Those
Speaker 5: children cannot afford it. They're challenged enough. By the time
Speaker 5: they're done with school, that challenge has become profound. While
Speaker 5: they're in school, because they're going to have a lifetime
Speaker 5: with that challenge, while they're in school, it is our
Speaker 5: job as parents to do everything in our power to
Speaker 5: make sure that kid has every single resource possible, that
Speaker 5: every resource in that school district is assigned to them. Now,
Speaker 5: if you get an individual education plan, an IEP, that
Speaker 5: is a legal document. And if the IEP says, we
Speaker 5: will assign the maximum amount of resources that we have available,
Speaker 5: and you're reading it and you go, oh, they're going
Speaker 5: to put all the resources they can, uh, possible assigned
Speaker 5: to our kid. That's great. No, it's not great. It
Speaker 5: isn't as much as they can. It isn't whatever we
Speaker 5: have that is possible. That's not the definition. The definition
Speaker 5: is that the accommodations must be made for that child.
Speaker 5: Whatever that child needs, those accommodations have to be provided.
Speaker 5: That is the law. And that's why sometimes it's a
Speaker 5: good idea to have a lawyer to have a lawyer
Speaker 5: with you at your side to sit in on the
Speaker 5: IEP meetings. A lawyer can come to those. Sometimes it's
Speaker 5: a really good idea to have a lawyer at those
Speaker 5: or just send the lawyer because it's complicated and because
Speaker 5: there's no reason for you an English major who didn't
Speaker 5: go to law school to have to know all that
Speaker 5: stuff how could you possibly know all that stuff but
Speaker 5: you're not going to get another chance and we had
Speaker 5: a situation where we had a mediation agreement to keep
Speaker 5: our kid in a special ed school a special needs
Speaker 5: school terrific school insanely expensive. And the school district agreed
Speaker 5: to pay for one year of that, but did not
Speaker 5: agree to pay for the second year of that. And
Speaker 5: as a result, ultimately said, we're not paying for that.
Speaker 5: We will be able to provide the resources within our school. No,
Speaker 5: you won't. And they couldn't. And we decided to homeschool
Speaker 5: our kid, which I didn't want to do for a
Speaker 5: lot of reasons. My kids aren't Amish. They're not Mennonites.
Speaker 5: They don't I don't want my kid walking around with
Speaker 5: those long skirts and those weird hats. I didn't want
Speaker 5: homeschooled kids because, as you know, they were weird. However,
Speaker 5: we homeschool her. It's the best thing we could have
Speaker 5: possibly done because she's a one-on-one learner. Maybe yours is too.
Speaker 5: She learns one-on-one. And because she has the absolute attention
Speaker 5: of her teacher, she learns and she likes it. This
Speaker 5: is the first time in her life that she actually
Speaker 5: likes school, and she's homeschooled. There are many other ways
Speaker 5: for her to have social support, and she's one of
Speaker 5: those kids who was, like, born to make friends. She
Speaker 5: knows how to do it. She knows how to make friends.
Speaker 5: All right, I'm Walter Sterling. This is The Other Side
Speaker 5: of Midnight. My phone number is 800-848-9222.
Speaker 11: 800-848-9222.
Speaker 5: One never knows when the homosexual is about.
Speaker 4: Let's take the case.
Speaker 13: Of Jimmy Barnes. Jimmy played baseball all afternoon and he
Speaker 13: didn't feel like walking home so he decided to thumb
Speaker 13: a ride.
Speaker 7: He'd done it.
Speaker 13: A hundred times before and he didn't think anything was
Speaker 13: unusual when the driver struck up a friendly conversation. In fact,
Speaker 13: he seemed like a real nice guy. What Jimmy didn't
Speaker 13: know was that Ralph was sick, a sickness that was
Speaker 13: not visible like smallpox, but no less dangerous and contagious,
Speaker 13: a sickness of the mind. You see, Ralph was a homosexual,
Speaker 13: a person who demands an intimate relationship with members of
Speaker 13: their own sex. So no matter where you meet a stranger,
Speaker 13: be careful if they are too friendly, if they try
Speaker 13: to win your confidence too quickly, and if they become
Speaker 13: overly personal. One never knows when the homosexual is about.
Speaker 5: He may appear normal. Lesbians in space, space, space.
Speaker 4: The other side of midnight.
Speaker 10: Something really weird happened with Una.
Speaker 1: Tell me everything right now.
Speaker 4: I don't even, like, I really don't know if I can, like,
Speaker 4: explain it.
Speaker 10: Try.
Speaker 4: It was like, our faces were, like, so close to
Speaker 4: each other. Like, I could feel her breathing on me.
Speaker 9: Okay, hot.
Speaker 2: And then she touched my thigh.
Speaker 4: Ah, okay.
Speaker 7: So she's in love with you.
Speaker 4: No, because that was it.
Speaker 9: Like, nothing else happened. Really?
Speaker 10: And it's so confusing because I can't figure her out.
Speaker 2: I can't, like, tell what she's thinking.
Speaker 4: And it's driving me insane.
Speaker 8: But at the same time, I'm like, dude, why would
Speaker 8: she touch my body like that?
Speaker 9: No, 100%.
Speaker 5: 100%, actually.
Speaker 1: I'm Robert Clonworthy, the voice of ancient aliens.
Speaker 9: This Thursday, on the other side of midnight.
Speaker 3: Isn't it a little bit homophobic that we're so focused
Speaker 3: on the straights of homos and not the gays of homos?
Speaker 7: I agree.
Speaker 8: Yes, for sure.
Speaker 3: Why do you think they're willing to leave the gays
Speaker 3: of homos behind?
Speaker 8: I think it's just, um, history, historically, like, you know,
Speaker 8: gays have always been very discriminated against, which is wrong
Speaker 8: on so many levels.
Speaker 5: Even in war.
Speaker 6: Yeah, even in war.
Speaker 8: It just takes more reform in government, obviously, and then
Speaker 8: also educating society.
Speaker 3: I just feel like if we're gonna go and say, oh,
Speaker 3: we can't leave the gay people behind, I don't think
Speaker 3: we should go and say at all, but if we're
Speaker 3: going to, the gays of Hormuz, we could turn it
Speaker 3: into Fire Island.
Speaker 8: For sure.
Speaker 13: One never knows when the homosexual is about. Let's take
Speaker 13: the case of Jimmy Barnes. Jimmy played baseball all afternoon
Speaker 13: and he didn't feel like walking home so he decided
Speaker 13: to thumb a ride. He'd done it a hundred times
Speaker 13: before and he didn't think anything was unusual when the
Speaker 13: driver struck up a friendly conversation.
Speaker 9: In fact, he seemed like a real nice guy.
Speaker 13: What Jimmy didn't know was that Ralph was sick, a
Speaker 13: sickness that was not visible like smallpox, but no less
Speaker 13: dangerous and contagious, a sickness of the mind. You see,
Speaker 13: Ralph was a homosexual, a person who demands an intimate
Speaker 13: relationship with members of their own sex. So no matter
Speaker 13: where you meet a stranger, be careful if they are
Speaker 13: too friendly, if they try to win your confidence too quickly,
Speaker 13: and if they become overly personal. One never knows when
Speaker 13: the homosexual is about.
Speaker 5: He may appear normal. Special show on Saturday. We're going
Speaker 5: to have abductees, UFO abductees, throughout the show. Starts at
Speaker 5: 2 a.m. Saturday morning. Special bonus track of Walter Sterling
Speaker 5: on the other side. of midnight.
Speaker 1: The other side of midnight with walter sterling.
Speaker 5: My god ross coldheart journalist award-winning broadcaster expert on ufos
Speaker 5: conspiracy theories and our government's failure to inform us he's
Speaker 5: live in sydney australia he works with news nation welcome
Speaker 5: to the show ross.
Speaker 2: G'day, Walter, and g'day, Midnight Misfits. I'm talking about a
Speaker 2: place called Susquehanna, which is a power station, which is
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Pennsylvania. And
Speaker 2: you and I, Walter, have been very prominent, I think,
Speaker 2: in taking a very sceptical view over the last few
Speaker 2: years about the official explanation for the unexplained objects that
Speaker 2: have been breaching airspace over often very sensitive government military facilities,
Speaker 2: but especially just over suburban New Jersey for many, many months.
Speaker 2: And you and I were both talking many times on
Speaker 2: this show about the fact that time and time again,
Speaker 2: we are told by the authorities that these are just drones.
Speaker 2: And the most banal explanation being offered by those in
Speaker 2: charge is that clearly some naughty person is just putting
Speaker 2: up a commercial or maybe even a military sized drone
Speaker 2: and breaching the airspace over sensitive civil aviation facilities. And
Speaker 2: don't you worry your tiny little heads about this. There's
Speaker 2: really nothing to worry about. It's nothing anomalous. Well, my friend.
Speaker 2: I have just put to air an interview with a
Speaker 2: guy who I think puts this to rest once and
Speaker 2: for all, and he is very strongly of the view
Speaker 2: that we need to take anomalous phenomena over sensitive military
Speaker 2: and civilian facilities extremely seriously indeed. The guy's name is
Speaker 2: Daryl Johnson, and he's a very Big banana. He's formerly
Speaker 2: one of the top experts on domestic terrorism in the
Speaker 2: United States. He worked in a counterterrorism role in the
Speaker 2: US Army, and he ended up working inside the office of.
Speaker 2: the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Office of Nuclear Security and
Speaker 2: Incident Response, doing all of the security for the body
Speaker 2: that controls the security over some of our most sensitive
Speaker 2: nuclear plants. And what he's discovered is truly shocking. Forgive me,
Speaker 2: I'm getting somebody... Believe me, I understand.
Speaker 5: It's all right. Pause if you need to, because I
Speaker 5: want to hear this story. This is clearly a big story, sir.
Speaker 2: So he was responsible for monitoring, assessing, and trending all
Speaker 2: drone and UAP flyovers at every single commercial nuclear power
Speaker 2: reactor and fuel cycle facility across the United States. It
Speaker 2: was Darrell who wrote the annual report to Congress for
Speaker 2: the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's security inspection program, He was responsible
Speaker 2: for all of the security advisories sent to all the licensees,
Speaker 2: and he reviewed all of the suspicious activity reports from
Speaker 2: all licensees. And essentially, he was the guy who did
Speaker 2: the trend analysis on what is actually being seen over
Speaker 2: these nuclear power plants. And his job was to coordinate
Speaker 2: with the Department of Defense's UFO Investigation Office, the All
Speaker 2: Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, on UAPs. And what he revealed
Speaker 2: to me in this interview is quite shocking because he's
Speaker 2: discovered that, for example, at Susquehanna, 22nd of October 2022,
Speaker 2: what was officially described as a drone was a gigantic
Speaker 2: black triangular object with a large spotlight that hovered over
Speaker 2: the nuclear power plant for two hours.
Speaker 5: Two hours.
Speaker 2: And it did this with total impunity, shining down a
Speaker 2: huge spotlight over one of the most sensitive facilities that
Speaker 2: has nuclear power in the United States. And what's interesting
Speaker 2: is the official explanation is that these were just one
Speaker 2: of several drones that breached the airspace. That's what the
Speaker 2: public have been told by the NRC. But the reality is,
Speaker 2: from the guy who was in charge of security, he
Speaker 2: thinks these are anomalous. He says the lights were very,
Speaker 2: very prominent. If somebody was trying to hide this object,
Speaker 2: it was a very, very clearly, obviously well-lit craft. It
Speaker 2: was clearly some kind of structured craft. It was a
Speaker 2: black triangle. No noise was heard. Absolutely no sign of
Speaker 2: any propellers, no jet engines, no turbines, a completely silent
Speaker 2: object hovering only very, very low over the head of
Speaker 2: security guards. And they were completely hopeless in their inability
Speaker 2: to be able to do anything about it. And what's interesting, Walter,
Speaker 2: and you and I have spoken about this before, that
Speaker 2: all too often what I suspect is described as a
Speaker 2: drone is purely and simply an unexplained object and that
Speaker 2: the official default position now has come to be that UAPs,
Speaker 2: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, objects like this black triangle, are reported
Speaker 2: either as drones or or not at all. And that's
Speaker 2: exactly what Daryl Johnson tells me in the interview that
Speaker 2: we've just put to air. He says that the Nuclear
Speaker 2: Regulatory Commission, he says it's incredibly serious. He says they're
Speaker 2: getting incomplete data because there's no guidance that distinguishes UAPs,
Speaker 2: that is potentially anomalous objects, from unmanned aerial systems, drones.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows how to tell the difference. And he said
Speaker 2: that inside the NRC, when he tried to raise this
Speaker 2: as a concern, nobody cared. They actually tried to discourage
Speaker 2: him from reporting it to the Pentagon's UAP office. And
Speaker 2: he was saying, he doesn't say that they are extraterrestrial,
Speaker 2: but he did tell me, quote, something is observing us.
Speaker 2: We don't know what it is or who controls it.
Speaker 2: But he said that in his time at the Nuclear
Speaker 2: Regulatory Commission, he, Daryl Johnson, the guy in charge of security,
Speaker 2: saw time and time again objects being explained away as
Speaker 2: drones when he could not plausibly explain what they were.
Speaker 2: And he said he didn't think there was any willingness
Speaker 2: inside the NRC, which of course is the body that
Speaker 2: is meant to be protecting us all, from the possibility
Speaker 2: of the nuclear materials inside these plants being swept away
Speaker 2: by some dastardly terrorist. Basically, his division director laughed at
Speaker 2: the idea of aliens or UAPs and joked. And he
Speaker 2: basically discouraged him from making a report to the Pentagon,
Speaker 2: as he was required to do by law. And so
Speaker 2: he's gone public with me and it's quite a major story.
Speaker 2: I'm genuinely concerned by what he reveals because what he's
Speaker 2: saying is that even if you wanted to bring down
Speaker 2: these objects, I said to him, why didn't somebody just
Speaker 2: shoot down these craft over these areas? And he laughed
Speaker 2: and he said, you wouldn't believe this. A drone is
Speaker 2: defined as an aircraft under FAA laws. And so it's
Speaker 2: a breach of the Aircraft Sabotage Act to shoot down
Speaker 2: a drone, even if it's hovering over one of the
Speaker 2: most sensitive nuclear facilities in Pennsylvania. And he said it's
Speaker 2: a potential felony liability for the security staff at a
Speaker 2: nuclear power plant to either jam, damage, destroy, hack or
Speaker 2: seize any kind of aircraft, even if it's a remotely
Speaker 2: controlled drone. All they can do is watch the object
Speaker 2: and watch it leave. So really, there's no power to
Speaker 2: do anything. So whether this is Chinese, little green men
Speaker 2: from Zeta Reticuli, or something else, maybe some civilian playing games,
Speaker 2: we have a huge hole over our most sensitive nuclear
Speaker 2: power facilities because, as he explained to me, the reactors
Speaker 2: themselves are very, very well protected. They have incredible quantities
Speaker 2: of concrete surrounding them But to take out a nuclear reactor,
Speaker 2: all you need to do is damage the cooling pond
Speaker 2: or other sections of the nuclear site that I'm not
Speaker 2: going to reveal. And he says you can disarm and
Speaker 2: disable a nuclear power plant using a $ 10 drone with impunity.
Speaker 2: They can't even shoot it down. And if it was alien, Walter, well,
Speaker 2: as you and the Midnight Misfits now know, they wouldn't
Speaker 2: even be able to tell the difference.
Speaker 5: Now, Ross Caldhart, News Nation, as a man of action
Speaker 5: like me, our first reaction, if we're stationed at a nuclear,
Speaker 5: nuclear power plant and we see objects that we cannot
Speaker 5: identify and our control towers are saying, we don't know
Speaker 5: what that is, we're going to shoot them down. What
Speaker 5: happens to the soldiers who say, I'm going to shoot
Speaker 5: it down?
Speaker 2: They would go to jail for committing a felony offense
Speaker 2: under the aircraft sabotage act. It's hilarious, Walter. Nobody in
Speaker 2: government has actually thought, they've spent so much time debunking
Speaker 2: the UAP story and trying to tell us that there
Speaker 2: is no such thing as aliens, that they haven't addressed
Speaker 2: the fact that technology has changed. As we see in
Speaker 2: Ukraine now, it's possible to knock out the most advanced
Speaker 2: Soviet Russian tanks with a $ 10, 000 military drone carrying armor-piercing weaponry.
Speaker 2: We can take out nuclear power plants from above in
Speaker 2: ways that weren't contemplated even 10 years ago. And the
Speaker 2: technology is of such a threat that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Speaker 2: according to my informant, Daryl Johnson, the guy who used
Speaker 2: to run their security, he is saying that they are
Speaker 2: woefully unprepared for this kind of incursion, whether it be
Speaker 2: alien or foreign adversaries. Whatever it is, something has been
Speaker 2: penetrating these very sensitive nuclear facilities with total impunity.
Speaker 5: Do you think Daryl Johnson, your source, is in any
Speaker 5: danger for revealing this?
Speaker 2: No, he's a ballsy guy, Walter. One of the things
Speaker 2: I love about America, in the English system we operate
Speaker 2: under in Australia, people get intimidated by governments. But the
Speaker 2: thing I love about America is you guys were imbued
Speaker 2: with civics. You're not taught to hate the media and
Speaker 2: you're not taught to not be a whistleblower. People are
Speaker 2: encouraged to come forward when they see wrong.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 2: And I really admire that about America. People speak out
Speaker 2: when they see wrong. And he's a good, brave man.
Speaker 2: He's written a terrific book that basically highlights chapter and
Speaker 2: verse the failings inside the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and I
Speaker 2: sincerely hope the top people in Washington listen to him.
Speaker 2: Because interestingly enough, he was one of the guys who
Speaker 2: sounded the alarm about right-wing groups shortly before the January
Speaker 2: 6th congressional takeover, where the Congress was invaded by thugs
Speaker 2: that trashed the Congress. So he's one of the people
Speaker 2: who I think has persistently taken a strong stand on
Speaker 2: combating and predicting threats, and good on him for writing
Speaker 2: the book he's written.
Speaker 5: Ross Coulthard, News Nation. What's the name of the show?
Speaker 5: How can we see you on News Nation?
