Reese On The Radio: Connecticut's Conservative Voice episodes

  • Reese On The Radio On NewsTalk 1080 WTIC 2-6pm 8/28/26
    • The Lamont Poll — UNH numbers dumped on a Friday: 37% fav / 43% unfav. Voters’ top problems: cost of living 30, taxes 19, housing 13. Immigration 3% while Lamont/Tong race to Danbury.



    • Hochul / Another 9/11 — 19 hijackers entered on visas. 9/11 Commission wanted 287(g). Hochul’s law keeps locals out of immigration, so ICE does street arrests instead of jail transfers.



    • Reparations Chat — Gene: “white Nazis paying you to sell out your own people.” Reese: you’re not allowed to criticize a Black man with a platform.



    • Robert & Sarah Fisher — In studio. Conviction vacated after 15 months (Litchfield parking-lot self-defense). Retrial pending. Corrigan had no AM. Double pneumonia, 26 days cuffed to a hospital bed.



    • Texas Roadhouse Boycott — Viral claim white servers spit in food. Servers (and a lot of Black folks) are not crying about the 18-top leaving.

  • Reese On The Radio On NewsTalk 1080 WTIC 2-6pm 8/27/26
    • Danbury Detained — ICE at the day-laborer park; outrage over disrupted off-books labor, not the slave wages.

    • Pep Rally / Citizenship — Lamont, Hayes, Murphy, Blumenthal for the cameras; Reese: get them citizenship or quit the lip service.

    • Most Important Constituency — Warner/Coons admitting the shutdown was to defund ICE.

    • Tong’s Record on Racism — His 2020 “racist” checklist vs. silence on real cases; Meta presser “not you / not invited.”

    • Measles Lie Busted — CT “outbreak” = three cases; Shapiro’s PA deaths were with measles, not of.

    • Rock the Vote (Fraud) — Barry County, MI sheriff: non-citizens auto-registered via address-change / DMV.

    • Ryan Fazio Soon — Flock Cameras / Meriden — Mayor said no cameras; council already voted 8–2. Callers lean surveillance-state no.

  • Reese On The Radio On NewsTalk 1080 WTIC 2-6pm 8/26/26
    Not You — After Tong’s Meta presser, a staffer told Reese he was “not invited.” Ken Dixon and Chris Keating went in. Dixon took his number.

    Guerrera Will Come On — Wethersfield school-bus presser. DMV commissioner Tony Guerrera talked motor-voter / Sal Secunzion. Comms Ernie swapped numbers.

    J’Allen Jones — Tong’s beef: eight-year hold of the homicide video from Jessica Jones. Plus a jailed woman his office blamed for her own rape.

    Lawfare Emails — April 2024 AGs’ plot vs. Trump. Tong still withholding.

    Lamont’s ICE Line — Wethersfield bite: not “picking up people because they look suspicious.” Reese: you don’t know who they are. Keating cut him off.

    Callers — Lin (West Suffield), Tom (Thomaston), Jim (Waterbury), Ryan (Coventry), Mark Walsh, Pete.

    Robert & Sarah Friday — Fisher out yesterday after 15 months. Conviction vacated. In-studio Friday at 4. Rozan then too.

    Florida Voter — Carlos Felipe Jaramillo Grajales, 55, Colombian: 3 years + removal. Stolen ID, Duval 2020 vote. Guerrera: CT motor-voter is agent-pushed, not auto.

    Music News — Brian Kelley 41, Thalía 55, Adrian Young 57, Shirley Manson 60, Cassie Ventura 40.

    Dolly vs. Walters — City Hall Adam clip: “hillbilly” / “your kind of people.” Reese: elitist. Dolly didn’t flinch.

    RIP — Tim Curry. Michael Wright, used to live across the hall from a girlfriend when Reese was 14.

    Pop-Tarts, No Green Cards — Danbury ICE. Alves / Lamont / Tong / Elicker spent ~$1.3B, zero citizenship help.

    Meta $265 Million — CT share of the $17B child-addiction settlement, no five-year spend plan.

  • Reese On The Radio On NewsTalk 1080 WTIC 2-6pm 8/25/26
    • Dolly Parton — Died at 80 in Nashville. “Find something mean to say — you can’t.”


    • Dan Haar vs. Amybeth LaRoche — Hearst hit on her car tax. Connecticut Centinal posted the canceled checks Haar didn’t.


    • “Outbreak” of Three — Third measles case, Hartford County adult. CT kindergarten MMR 98.6%, 2nd in the nation. Not a surge.


    • Download the App — ReeseOnTheRadio.com: live, podcast, news ticker.


    • What Is Tong Hiding? — April 2024 Democratic AGs’ “Project for Federal Accountability.” Tong still won’t release the planning emails.


    • Danbury ICE — Lamont: they “don’t look violent.” Alves got no notice. Jahana Hayes “know your rights,” then “not legal advice.”


    • State Grocery Store — CT Voices for Children wants a state-run store after ~63k lost SNAP. 80 hrs/month work or volunteer keeps the card.


    • War on Poverty — Transfers replaced work. Charles Murray, Losing Ground. “What would you do if the check stopped?”


    • DSA vs. Democrats — Ken Martin’s “big tent.” They take over because the party is weak.


    • Chris Murphy’s Voter Rolls — Never says “citizen.” DHS/USPS “profiling” = pulling non-citizens.


    • Moment of DOH! - Gary, Indiana — Mayor Eddie Melton on Don Lemon: NIPSCO ignored a 75% Black city. Skipped the Aug. 14/15 shooting of a utility Jeep.


    • Islamic & Arab Studies — July 1 law: optional SDE curriculum, unfunded. Kids can’t do math.


    • Bridgeport Absentee Ballots — Wanda Geter-Pataky and Alfredo Castillo reject prison plea deals. Drop-box video.


    • Music News — Tweedy 59, Vivian Campbell 64, Billy Ray Cyrus 65, Gene Simmons 77, Elvis Costello 72.

    • Reese and Rozan hit the Manchester Peach Festival on tickets from Maria and Paul. He loves them, has grievances: felt age-out-of-place, Kenny G vs. Al Jarreau. Young Mariah sang the anthem, beat herself up for nerves; he says she’s going to be something. He felt safer there than looking over his shoulder.

    • Do You Feel Safe? Video last night of a street brawl at Westfarms Mall. Kids dragging, kicking, stomping, phones out, over social-media threats. It happened by the booth where he and Rozan just bought a curling iron / beard steamer. Contrast: Manchester, Vernon, Coventry, Simsbury feel safe. Danbury not the suburb it used to be. Stats say CT is among the safest. His question is do you feel safe.

    • Crime Stats vs. Unreported Crime / Tong CDLs State numbers: 2024 violent crime about 139 per 100,000; homicides about 70 in 2025; prison pop roughly halved. Soft-on-crime looks like it works if you only count reported crime. Immigrant communities rarely report. Melissa/Alyssa Ramirez (as heard), illegal, manslaughter of Cooper Whiteside and Brittany Islami. AG William Tong joined about 21 mostly Democratic states plus D.C. suing to block bulk access to the CDL database. Sean Duffy: pull illegal non-domiciled CDLs. Tong protecting big-rig drivers who can’t read a yield sign.

    • Lt. James Rutkauski, Hartford Police Union
      Officers doing well after the OIS. One Rocky Hill officer, one Hartford officer. Johnson / Dino, partner of Alex Diaz, tackled the suspect as he fled in Rocky Hill; who fired the fatal round still undetermined. Name withheld pending the 96-hour Inspector General window. ShotSpotter: about 90% of activations have no 911 complaint; not published in crime stats. Bond Street homicide this morning. Cartel debt leverages silence. His wife Marcelyn is the unofficial liaison. On the unnamed shooting suspect: “Absolutely” he has an extensive criminal history that will raise why wasn’t he in jail.

    • Cannabis Potency / CHS Rep. Craig Fishbein on cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome after Democrats eased THC caps. 2026 bill: flower 35% restored, concentrate cap not, higher-THC beverages expanded, about Oct. 1. Push from Roland Lemar and Jason Rojas, HB 55350 / Public Act 26-8. Reese: that’s revenue, not medicine. Rep. Juan Candelaria took a paid job with The Goods THC. Social-equity licenses as Black fronts for white owners. Eli on a major cannabis company still licensed after a dirty CEO email; unregulated smoke shops, fentanyl.

    • WNBA / Enes Kanter Freedom Weekend melee: Enes Kanter Freedom (applied to join the WNBA under its gender policy) cheered Sophie Cunningham’s three. Natasha Cloud initiated, “she’s not going to sleep with you,” F-bombs with kids in the arena, security pushed him out. Reese: drama is saving it. Real Housewives with free throws.

    - Moment of DOH!
