Warren police are warning about a rise in swatting calls, where somebody reports to take emergency like a shooting to bring a heavy police presence. Officers say it is extremely dangerous for innocent people. And anyone caught could face felony charges and be forced to pay back the cost of the response, as they should. As they should, and that should be the least of it. It's very traumatic for the people it happens to. Are these just bored kids that need something to do? I learned about it from a blue bloods episode,
where one of the members of blue bloods was in bed at night with his wife. And I think it might be swatting because at least in this episode, like the SWAT team comes. Don't they do that to famous people? Yes, they do. Right? He's like, you know, all seven friends to Bonnie. Yes, you know, police everywhere. I don't know how that's, but I don't know. Kids are dumb anyway. During a certain period of time, not just in general, but like there's a period of time where we were all like, not making like, what? 13 to? Yeah. Seven. Yeah. Just not making the best decision. No. And luckily, we can, I mean, think about it this way. Not so much you, Chelsea, but Allison and I like, I don't know, at 12 years old during our time, you can make a phone call and totally no one would know who it was from. Oh, right. There's no call ID and stuff. Yeah, we never had call ID. We had a call ID. Did you have star 69? Yes, I believe I had star 69. Oh, my God, I hated star 69 people. I know. And those people still exist today.
Like sometimes you just dial a wrong number. I know. And if I didn't leave a message and I hung up, I dialed the wrong number and I don't need you. I don't need to. Hi, you called my number? Yeah, I know. I dialed the wrong number. Yeah. That's why are you answering? Who? You. What? I'm so courteous. Okay, I think I'd just probably let that one go. Yeah, but then they see you keep calling. Yeah, um, do you guys did? I don't know if you guys would have done this, but like Ding Dong ditching or like toilet papering someone's house. You used to be able to get away with that back in the day, but now there's so many ring cameras. Like, yeah, I can't do that. I was also in fear of my parents. Like, I went and toilet paper to someone's house, like I'd be dead. Oh, my parents have killed me. Yeah, that's why your parents don't find out. Wow. We're from a time and history when you could be very afraid of your parents. Yeah. Oh, I was afraid of my parents, but they're just not going to find out when I met my sleepover. I feel like we're, I feel like we're elders sitting on a high table here. I know. I know our day. That can all day.
Let's dispense a little bit of info to you. My brother actually got the cops called on him when he was in, they were probably high school or middle school for Ding Dong ditching, but those dummies, it was snowing out. There was probably a foot of snow on the ground. So you could see the footprints. Oh my god. All the cop had to do was just like look around the neighborhood and spotted the boys like, and your brother's the favorite. So eating it in trouble, right? Parents laugh it off. Yeah, that's the baby. That's always that way. Hey, I don't want to get political this morning and I won't, but I'll say this. You two sides need to work this out and figure some deal out. Figure it out. You are screwing with people's lives with this TSA stuff. And we have to fly in two weeks. You really are. And as we can't have it, nothing to do with us, but it does have everything to do with us and we can't have it. We won't have it. No, we won't have it. Travelers across the country are dealing with long lines and delays as TSA faces a growing worker shortage tied to partial government shutdown. Hundreds of officers have quit or calling off with more than 170 million people
expected to fly through April. It could get even busier. Listen, spring breaks coming up. Don't just think that like some people like most people are like two paychecks away from being in real trouble in life. Not everybody in the world are, you know, have investments and are great savers. So let me tell you, if you're angry at a TSA agent has decided to say, I'm not coming in because now they have to go door-dash because they've got to bring some income in. Yeah, yeah, that's when the like I said this before. Doesn't matter what political side you're on. If you're doing anything to take paychecks away from people, you too should not get a paycheck until they get a paycheck. I don't know what's hard to do is that. Yeah, I don't know what's hard to understand about that. And that should be part of it. Moving forward, there's all new people involved. Let's make that one of the first things. Good, you guys don't want to come to work. You want to shut down the government? All right, then, no one's getting a paycheck. Yeah, it really messes with people. That's terrible.
And that's just happening to blue collar workers. It was a few years ago, but I read an article that like even upper middle class are like two paychecks away from like, oh, I think a lot of people are in a lot of bad shape. Paychecks to paycheck, yeah. Let me see if I have one other story here. Google is looking to build a large data center campus in Van Buren Township near 94 in Haggerty. It could bring jobs in new tax revenue, but as you imagine, some residents have concerns about energy use as the project still needs final approval. See, this is where I need to be more educated for the people that are going and kind of protesting this and upset about it. Like, I guess I don't know enough about it to figure out why they're protected. Like, for me, I'm like, oh, you're going to build something nearby and it's going to bring jobs. All right, but yeah, maybe if it's, I don't know, it's sucking all the energy and stuff and it's not, I don't know, probably shouldn't figure more out. Where, what do they want to build like, I was pro sheets, though. So what do I know? I think that's a little different and we stay that way. Should we remain pro sheets? I guess until there's a sheet next door to my house, we're up all night. No, you'll love it.
I'm very pro sheets. You'll love it. Are you running for office and have a message you want every voter in your district to hear? Well, that's where radio comes in.
