230 PM TIME SLOT
FOR PETER, BINGHAM, BOARDMAN
Welcome back to the Jerry Williams Show—the only place to find the voice of the people. I am your humble host Jerry Williams
Last time I checked, folks, the Ohio Valley is part of these United States of America. Americans—our president is pre-empting primetime television presumably to declare war. He is doing this on behalf f of the American people. He didn’t ask me what I thought we should do…Did he ask you? PETER in BOARDMAN? Did the President ask what you thought, PETER?
FOR KRISTI, AUSTINTOWN
We live here in the twenty-first century; the Age of Information. With the touch of a button-BOOM-you’re talking to someone in China. All at your fingertips—every Joe, Mike, and Suzie across our great nation has access to the largest database of information in the history of the world. Despite all this knowledge, we’re more confused than ever. KRISTI’s in her car---Have you filtered out the truth, KRISTI?
FOR STEFANIE, 724
I can’t help but wonder—how many of these anti-war champions have actually been to Ground Zero? How many had their lives destroyed on that day in September a year and a half ago? STEFANIE in the 724…drop some knowledge on us.
FOR JIM, BOARDMAN
Invading Iraq -- does this count as the war on terror? Or is Bush trying to finish what his daddy started 12 years ago? Why does the UN constantly drag their collective feet? What is an American’s duty when personal freedoms are being compromised in a distant land? So much to talk about—But what I really want to know——What I really need to know is..how are your March Madness brackets holding up?
I picked Pitt to go all the way. JIM from Boardman—help me out JIM…
6 pm TIME SLOT
FOR PAUL, DAYTON
You’re listening to the one and only—The Jerry Williams Show
When our young Americans were called on to put an end to that evil threat in Germany named Hitler, did anyone say, “Hey, I never met Hitler. Why should I kill these people?”
No! Of course not. They went over there and the country was proud. What about Vietnam? Doubt was running rampant---we all know how sloppy that turned out. If we put our faith in the government, this could all be over in a couple of weeks. I have an American flag on the back of my car. How about you, PAUL in Dayton?
FOR GINGER, PITTSBURGH
Where are all of the college students?!? When similar events transpired thirty-five years ago, our most innocent idealists stood up and said, “Wait a minute!” “Why do we have to go to Vietnam?” Students were literally dying to be heard. Just down the road in Kent, our young American protesters gave their lives for freedom. Why the apathy now, America? Is your silence a gesture of consent? Ginger in Pittsburgh won’t remain silent. Go ahead, Ginger, exercise your first amendment right of free speech…
FOR PAUL, BOARDMAN
The war hawks in Washington have sold the president as to the threat that a Saddam-ruled Iraq poses. It seems clear that war is inevitable. How will the terrorists respond after the President speaks to the nation? Swiftly? Violently? Will you be scared to go to the Southern Park mall? What about the Final Four? Seems like a nice, big target in the context of war. How scared should we be? Maybe PAUL in BOARDMAN can tell us. What say you, PAUL?
FOR ERIC, HUBBARD
Saddam Hussein is said to be actively procuring Uranium…He’s not trying to light up his digital alarm clock. I don’t want this information to be confirmed by the leveling of Cleveland. How can we wait when our enemy is getting stronger? Maybe they know it Hubbard; let me hear you ERIC ….
