WBSM presents The Barry Richards Show, streaming live on WBSM.com and the WBSM app. Call 508-996-0500. Text us using App Chat on the WBSM app. Now, The Barry Richards Show. All righty, welcome back into the program. It is 2:06 on a Monday afternoon. 508-996-0500 is our phone number. Mostly sunny day. It's about 63 degrees here on the neck and a little bit of a breeze. So you might want a light jacket or a sweatshirt or whatever if you're heading out, but not too bad. And maybe a couple of showers around tomorrow. But then I'm hearing it's going to be up in the 70s after tomorrow. So that's certainly a good thing. Try to squeeze as many warm days out of this year as possible. Yeah, I'm seeing, looking in front of me here, 77 on Wednesday. And then it gets cool again. so enjoy it uh the return of summer on uh on wednesday 77 degrees that's the expected high so um before the break we're talking about we've got a few different things going we're talking about the um the idea of a live stream execution for hassan the terrorists that killed 13 and wounded 30 more at fort hood in texas back in 2009 uh hake said last week we're going to live stream it on december 3rd he's going to be shot to death with a firing squad or by a firing squad and um i guess um mark wayne mullen defended that yesterday uh ultimately though the final decision on whether to live stream it comes down to president trump um i don't think he's going to approve it and i think this is just one of those things that the administration's floating out there for public consumption and discussion and maybe hopefully as a deterrent to others who might come up with the same ideas but um in any event we'll wait and see what's going to happen with that uh the execution will be december 3rd whether it would be um uh live streamed or not i guess it's yet to be determined but um uh what would you think about that would do you think um an execution live streamed is a is a good idea i you know i don't i don't care about this guy i really don't um he's been convicted he's uh you know He's going to die. His sentence is said he's going to he's going to be shot firing squad December 3rd, whether it's live streamed or not, really doesn't for for for any moralistic purposes doesn't mean anything to me, you know, for his privacy or whatever. I'm not concerned about his privacy. The only thing I am concerned about is I don't want this guy to be made into a martyr. and you know i think for once i agree with lisa murkowski of alaska that if you if you broadcast this thing uh through some type of a live stream you make him into a martyr and more of a hero to people who might want to follow him and the other thing is we have gone so far in the direction of cheapening human life i mean look what we just did in massachusetts by approving a um a a law that allows you to kill your baby on the day it's due to be born if you don't want it if you change your mind um life is cheap to a lot of folks and um if you start executing people in live streams then it becomes a form of entertainment and you know we are already concerned about the crap our kids are absorbing in video games and and the like where uh you know they're shooting up people and people are getting uh you know uh mauled or whatever so i don't know that we need one more entry into that realm so maybe it's not a good idea um i hope certainly president trump will say no i don't think he will uh allow it to happen but um we'll keep you posted if we find out but we're also talking about this um bill that is pending in massachusetts and what it would do it would um ban live broadcasting and video recording while driving and i was having a discussion about this over uh lunch yesterday with my wife she has a um she has a um a camera that she mounts on her dashboard not on her dashboard but on her rearview mirror points forward and it records and i guess um you know if you get in an accident or whatever it records it's almost like a body cam yeah but it records everything going forward she's also a professional photographer so she gets some pretty good shots she's got a really nice one she gets some really good shots take some stills and some video from it um would this impact that the intent is to go after people that are doing zoom calls or facetime calls or videotaping themselves for TikTok videos while they're driving obviously very distracted and they shouldn't be doing it um she also mentioned what about um like Uber drivers who have or taxis that have cameras uh on the excuse me on the on the passengers for security reasons would it impact that so you'd have to have opt-outs and carve-outs there to protect people and that kind of led into a discussion about people who um just absolutely have no shame about uh whether it be Steve a friend from South Carolina was talking about people he sees on the plane that are doing Zoom meetings and various other things and they're communicating verbally loudly uh you know back and forth with people on their computer screen it's it's disturbing your peace right if you know if you don't want to listen to that but the number of people that we see on on FaceTime walking around the streets in the stores yapping at each other with other people and and you know it just seems as though the days of not wanting to intrude on somebody's space that we don't seem to have those rules anymore everybody just seems to be you know you see people why it took me a little while to get used to this one but people walking down the street they've got those little white buds in their ears i know you can use those to listen to music and that but people also listen to their phones and people are just walking down the street talking or they're walking through the mall talking or you say something to somebody and they're busy talking they don't hear you or they put your put a finger up like wait a minute while they finish their their conversation and they're talking i assume it goes in through their phone their voice goes in through their phone maybe or does it go in through the earphones and they're having a conversation with people and we just talk about all of our business right out in public nowadays and um truly it's distracting it's rude i don't care what you want to say to your friends if you want to talk to your friends you know go in your car and talk to them or go home and talk to them but uh you know i'm not in a mall i don't want to hear your your conversation with your with your pals in the mall uh but anyway this bill that is uh that is before the joint transportation committee of which chris hendricks is a member of uh would bar videos and um and recording on your gadgets while you're while you're driving um you know when they get the hands-free law passed in 2019 we could never have envisioned that that stuff wasn't around then uh but it was mainly to deal with people who are texting or holding their phones to talk and being distracted and um you still see those people you see people you're driving down the highway and people are looking down in their laps and i don't think they're just uh you know i don't think they're happy to see themselves i think they're uh i think they're looking down at a text message and um it's dangerous it is it is really uh unsafe so um i think you know the more restrictions we can have on that kind of stuff the better that's just my view 508-996-0500 is the number you're up next in wbsm thanks for hanging on afternoon barry hey how you doing peachy how are you i'm doing all right though um on the uh the death sentence death sentence thing there yeah i say shoot him but uh do a pay-per-view and uh proceeds from the pay-per-view is still split between the uh victims of the shootings the parent they are relatives and victims of the shootings sure i bet you would sell a lot too yeah i'd sure buy a subscription to it that's for sure aren't you afraid though that you'd make this guy into a martyr i don't care i think there's a lot of things out there that there's so much baloney out there we have to worry about for this and that not in this I don't even care shoot him the pay-per-view if you give the money to the relatives and then we're going to have the execution of the week brought to you by yeah and that you know I think it may be deterrent I mean I don't care if it is but I think it may be because the objective of these people is to cause you know pain and suffering to the victims and to the families of the victims and make their statements And if their money from their execution kind of like contravenes that, I would say, you know, because they're going to go to ameliorate the pain to some extent. You know, it's not really going to do it. But, I mean, it's going to go in the other direction of causing harm. It's going to be, you know, supposedly causing some kind of compensation. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure. You know, from a personal point of view, I have no problem with what you're saying. I just, I am afraid that, you know, we would make a martyr and then you'd have others wanting to do it so they can get their glory, you know, going to Allah on live TV or whatever. And, you know, again, what's that? Are they going to be martyred anyways by being executed? Yeah, but out of sight, out of mind. It's a little bit different to take somebody to a prison, a backyard prison, and blow their brains out with a firing squad than to have it broadcast all over the world on a live stream. I mean, to me, now you've got kids that are going to be tuning in. I think there's a lot missing from the content of the brains of the kids these days. they're so easily influenced by this and that yeah I don't know if we can reel that back in that's the problem I mean so many kids are watching these you watch these games on the video games and stuff like that and I mean the kids become so desensitized to death to them it's not even real and I mean that's why you got these kids running around with guns and everything else they can pop pop shoot each other and until they're standing before a judge they don't realize just you can't come back at the end of the 30 minute video game or whatever There's no reset button on the computer. Yeah. So, I don't know. Jury's out on that one. We're going to have to see. What do you think? Do you think Trump's going to allow it? I think, as you're saying, he's probably going to take the pulse for quite a while and then take it from there. But I don't know. He may just take the position like, I'm going to do this. It's the right thing. He wants to do it, I believe, from his nature. And I think that, you know, whether the kids are promoted towards doing that again, there's so much gone wrong with the kids these days. A little bit extra is, I don't even care. All right. Appreciate your point. I'm going to hold you there and grab the next one. Thank you, sir. 508-996-0500 is the number. You're up next on WBSN. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Barry. How are you? Hi. Hi. You know, I really thought I was the only one that gets really perturbed with that whole, you know, FaceTime with the cell phones, especially in restaurants. Yeah. You know, I used to go to a breakfast place in the morning almost because I'm retired. And, you know, I like to eat a good breakfast because that way I really don't eat much lunch. um so um i stopped going there because there used to be a lady she would be in there she would sit kind of in the back of the restaurant now the restaurant wasn't that big okay and every morning when she got there that's the first thing she did it was like eight o'clock 8 30 in the morning she put her phone against the um sugar uh container thing and she'd be on facetime with whomever and the phone was loud like basically everybody and the whole time she was there and most of the time she wasn't even eating she was just there for a cup of coffee i mean this went on for like an hour um and everybody could hear a conversation could hear whoever the other person was on the other side you know and the waitresses they would get a little perturbed but they never said anything to her i mean and i know a couple like a couple of customers complained um you know like asking um one or two of the waitresses if they could you know say something to her and they basically said no that they couldn't say anything to her and it you know it's like and i've been in other places too where you know uh they are on FaceTime and you know most of the time it's in restaurants that i i've been in um you know i've seen some uh women like in department stores but i mean usually i'm not following them around so i don't care but when you're in a restaurant and you know you know regardless and you're trying to have some food and this is all you're hearing and you're stuck there it's not like you can pick up and move you're sitting right there having your breakfast and what's going on around you know that there were a couple of times i really had to bite my tongue because it just got to a point like you really i like wanted to blow up at like 8 8:30 and say can you please like just pick up if you want to talk to somebody pick up the phone put it on your ear and talk i don't need to listen to your crap i don't need to listen to your business and whatever other music too she was playing now whoever on the back and the other person playing music whatever oh it was you know and i stopped going there it was just so annoying but you would think that the um the waitresses or the owner would say something to her and say look you know really appreciate it if you know you didn't do that here because you know customers are complaining but no so hey you know what you lost the customer but i thought you know i was the only one that and i'm a baby boomer so i thought man maybe it's just me but yeah it you Yeah, we were raised with a totally different set of values than, you know, the generations today. And I'm not saying we're better than them. I have to tell you, Barry, this woman was like in her 60s. Really? Oh, yeah. She was no young kid. So, I mean, yeah, she was in her. I mean, I, you know, basically, I don't know her, but kind of know her. and from you know whatever she used to talk and say what no this is a retired woman that's like in her probably mid-60s yeah so it's not some young kid um you know and it's funny you should say that because i see a lot older people even men doing that more than i see like young kids doing it so but yeah the whole phone etiquette thing is really out of control i mean i don't know people should be more um you know caring about but just etiquette in in general but i can remember um i used to uh when the kids were small and i used to work uh uh you know part-time job doing retail just to make some more money um to feed two kids growing up but um and i'd work in retail and you'd be at the register and you you know waiting to ring somebody and this is when the whole cell phone thing first really hit and everybody had cell phones over just getting their cell phones and you'd have somebody at the head of the line and uh they're talking to somebody on their cell phone and you know you're waiting to check them out and they're like totally in another world talking on their cell phone you try to get their attention they'll give you put the finger up like you know wait a minute no i'm not gonna wait a minute i got a line all the way out the door behind you you know you're gonna check out here or not but just the just that whole idea and then they you know and you still see it people gabbing on their cell phones while they're checking out or while they're talking to you they've got the cell phone cradled on their shoulders and right and like and like you said they their attitude is yeah that's too bad like they they really don't care they really don't they're so inconsiderate they this like you said it like it's their space and it doesn't matter if it's invading your space you know their attitude is if you don't like it move on um and get into the execution you know i i mean personally i think they really i mean they really shouldn't show it because i mean we already have enough problems with nut cases out there and everything that's going on in society nowadays um you know i think showing something like that um on tv on social media you know just kind of offsets um more nut cases to think hey you know actually they're doing an execution execution style is good let me you know walk down the street with a gun and just start executing everybody so i mean i'm just saying that because you know the way things are going on today in society uh with all the nuts that are out there walking around with knives and swords and you know stabbing people out of nowhere so well you know you see these these school shooters right and and the media uh you know plays these school shootings up right and and not to say they should be ignored but you know you you get a report of a school shooting immediately there are 50 news helicopters in the sky every uh every news channel within miles is there and they're running around and they're asking parents how do you feel about your kids being in there with a guy with a gun and all of this kind of stuff and these kids in their own warped way um and it's got to be a warped way to drive them to do any of this kind of stuff but they see this look at the tv coverage look at all this these kids are heroes and and they emulate it they copy it and the same thing with the terrorists and we saw this kid out there was going to shoot up the mall of america last week that they arrested he's charged he hasn't been convicted yet but i mean his kid i think he was 20 years old and you know where did he get that from you wanted to go to i think it was somalia and become part of isis and all of that you get that stuff from social media and you get that stuff from seeing other people so if you take a terrorist and you publicly execute them i think that motivates more young people right right already lost maybe with mental issues or whatever and you drive them in that direction so i wouldn't give them what they want yeah i i agree with you anyway um yeah i just called to give my two cents about that stuff anyway you have a good day okay thank you my friend appreciate it 508-996-0500 is the phone number you are next on WBSM good afternoon hi barry hi so the only thing i have against this particular um showing is supposedly they said um when he was caught he was shot and he's paralyzed so are they going to shoot him in a wheelchair or are they going to prop him up somewhere and shoot him i don't know that's a good question i hadn't even thought about that You know, the looks of that, shooting somebody in a wheelchair. I mean, we saw what happened with Lindsey Clancy. You know, they will moderate in this country if we shoot him in a wheelchair or even prop him up. So I don't think this one is the one to show. I'll be 100% honest with you. I didn't realize he was in a wheelchair. Yeah, I heard that somewhere else, and I hadn't heard it before either. but they said he's paralyzed from the waist down because he got shot when he got caught doing the shooting. They shot him, and he was paralyzed, supposedly. That's what I heard. So if that's true, you know, to wheel somebody out in a wheelchair and shoot him or shoot him when he obviously can't stand on his own two feet, I don't think anybody's going to want to see that. Yeah, I think that would make him even more of a sympathetic figure if you do that. I think so, too. I mean, if there's going to be a live stream of him, this probably isn't the one to do. Yeah, I mean, that's a good question. What do you do? Who's going to want to stand next to him and hold him up, right? Right, right, exactly. So you're going to have to tie him to a post or something. I mean, I think I heard that on some news. I don't know if it was Ken Pittman this weekend or maybe it was that. I mean, maybe you can look into it and make sure it's the truth. I have it right in front of me here. Yes, Army Major Nidal Hassan is in a wheelchair, paralyzed in a shooting. Hassan was shot multiple times by police officers during the November 5th, 2009 attack at Fort Hood, Texas. Gunshot wounds left him paralyzed from the waist down. Right. So, yeah, I don't think that's going to be a good look. Well, you should hang him by a rope first and then shoot him. I don't know. Well, you know, if you hang them by a rope, I mean, nobody would need a wheelchair, and there'd be no propping them up. But, yeah, I don't know. I don't think this one's the one to start with. Maybe they'll give it a pass. That's a solid point, and I didn't even think of that because I didn't know he was in a wheelchair. Thanks for bringing that information to us. It adds a whole new element to the story. Thank you, my friend. 508-996-0500. Give me a minute for a quick break. We're going to come right back when you call us next. Stay tuned.

Well, it looks nice out there. When I went out for my walk, it was cloudy and cool, but it's gotten real nice since then. Yeah, well, it's beautiful to walk. Good. I'm getting out of here in about a half an hour, so. Yeah. This terrorist they wanted to kill by firing squad, actually, they're doing him a favor, because that's the military code. Yes. If you remember, after the Second World War, all these Nazis were guilty, and they all wanted to be shot by firing squad, especially the generals, the Nazi generals, because to them, they don't want to be hung, you know, because that's the military code. You shoot them, firing squad, and they like that. They don't want to be hung. Maybe they should hang this guy. They do him a favor. Yeah, well, you know, one way or another, they're going to off him on December 3rd, and just don't give him the injections because those don't always work, right? Make sure we're going to get him good. But would you favor them putting it on, like, a pay-per-view or a live stream or something on the Internet? Doesn't matter to me. Yeah. I probably, I did watch when they hung Saddam Hussein, though. Do you remember that? Yeah. I don't remember that being broadcast. Maybe it was. Maybe it was. I just don't remember that. Yeah. I remember seeing the videos of, you know, what they did to our guys, cutting off their heads. Remember that? Yeah. And burning them in cages and things like that. I don't remember too many young people that were emulating that or copycatting that. But I don't know. I want the guy dead and I have no real feelings about it at all. He's a terrorist and they should be hung. Maybe not by firing squad. But Hermann Goring, the Nazi, he wanted to be killed by firing squad. But they were going to hang him, but he committed suicide before they could do it. Yeah. Would you watch it? Watch what? The shooting, the capital punishment, the execution. Would you watch it if they had it on? Probably, yeah. Yeah. It doesn't make any difference to me. They've got to be killed anyway, so. Yeah. I mean, I don't, not for any moral views, I just don't have an interest in it. I mean, it's not something I say, ooh, it's almost 1 o'clock, I've got to get home and watch this. Yeah, I mean, if it was on where I was at, I'd watch it. Yeah, I wouldn't make a point of it. If I happen to remember it, I'd probably put it on, but I wouldn't wait for it. Yeah, no, me neither. It's not like the Patriots kickoff or something. Then you got to, oh, it's kickoff. We got to put on the TV for the kickoff. Yeah. You know, you got to have something to discourage these people. I mean, you know, a lot of these, they want to put them in jail for the rest of their life. You know, to me, that's kind of lenient sometimes. According to what they've done, you know, how they murdered people. The crime should be, I don't know, but what they've done. Eye for an eye. It was a gruesome, gruesome crime. Well, I don't care what they do with him. Yeah, absolutely. I agree with you there. Thank you, my friend. Appreciate it. 508-996-0500 is the number. You are next on WBSN. Good afternoon. Hello, am I on? Yes, you are. Okay. I agree with the gentleman that just was speaking with you. Okay. About that. I think he should be hung. He's a terrorist. It should be put on television so that all the terrorists that want to watch it can see what's going to happen to them. This is not Europe. I feel that anybody, and I'm born and raised here, so I have the right to my First Amendment. I feel that anyone who's in prison as a terrorist should be made to watch this so that they can see what they're up against and that they're next. The other thing that I called you up about was I put up a sign and I'm a registered independent before anybody thinks opposite. I put up a sign that I saw and I got one for free and I put up in front of my home and it said I bought Maura Healey November, you know, November the 3rd. Well, lo and behold, my wife gets home and she says your sign is gone. I don't think that's right. I don't take anyone's signs, whether I agree with them or disagree with them. No, that's a crime. Did he call the police? No, I haven't yet. I'm so mad, so mad. And I feel that this is not the real Democratic Party that I grew up with. Right. These are a bunch of socialist communists. And whoever goes along with this and says he's a Democrat and goes along with this type of stuff and goes against the people's wishes and their First Amendment, I don't feel that they should be able to run for office in this country. I think this is the biggest letdown that's ever been. Well, you know, I think that as it relates to the sign-stealing, I don't think Maura Healey condones stealing signs. But I don't agree with her. No, but I'm just making a broader point here. But, you know, in terms of the philosophy, the political philosophy of people, it's very difficult to, whether it be Maura Healey or whether it be, you know, El-Sayed or whether it be AOC or whatever. Who makes the rules? Who says, well, you stand for this, so therefore you shouldn't be allowed to be a candidate? Where do we start drawing the line? And who does? I think when people start talking bad about the country, as some of these people have, about saying that this country is no good. But, you know, the wonderful thing about our country is that you are allowed to have an opinion. Yeah, they're allowed to say it, First Amendment. But we're not. well you well you you do have a first amendment right and the problem is that our you know as as has been the case for a long long long time well you know the silent majority is always out blasted by the um by the vocal minority and so the vocal minority goes out there and they make the noise they yell you down and they scream in your face and they steal your signs and this that and the other thing and the silent majority has never pushed back they pushed back in 2016 and then they pushed back again in 2024 when they elected trump um without much fanfare they just went out and did it and uh but in terms of um you know in terms of people actually um you know standing up for themselves it's it's we we don't see the silent majority do that maybe as much as they should well i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you what i see what i see is a man that's the first president and i'm i'm born in 58 this is the first president i know of that i can remember that puts a thousand dollars in your children your grandchildren's pocket right i believe this this this they're screaming blue murder against what he's doing but yet it's okay to take that usa aid money and splurging around with their friends and everywhere else, even to countries and people that don't like our country and our people. Yeah. Okay, now, okay, in a way, I see there have been a couple of things that I disagree with him. You may say that right now that I'll give you $5,000 if you vote for us, but then again, he's only following notes of what everybody else is doing on the Democratic Socialist side. So if you call him for for for buying votes, then you got to call the rest. Well, you know, I'm I am I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. I also was born in 1958. Must have been a really good year. I don't I don't belong to either party. And I'm I'm an unenrolled voter and I am a Trump supporter. OK, I am MAGA. I am 100 percent MAGA. Proud to say I'm MAGA and America first. And Trump is the first president in my lifetime that has spoken to me. The first person who's ever addressed the issues that I'm concerned about. The first president that's ever offered solutions that I agree with, that I feel can be effective. Excuse me. I agree with you 100 percent, man. I agree with you 100 percent. But I can't see how they can badmouth this man so bad, so bad. And yet, we have a president that turned around, and I still remember vividly, that's still out there and living, turn around and tell the people of this nation, I want the United States to be just like Europe. Yeah. No, I don't want to be like Europe. And I hope they don't want to be like me. Yeah, no, we fought a war to get a break away from Europe. If he likes Europe so much in their way of socialism and Marxism, go live there. Well, the problem that we face as Trump supporters is that we have a lot stacked against us. Not only do we have the Democrat Party that has sold its soul to the radical socialists, but we have the cultural community, the actors, the musicians, the limousine liberals. They're all rich people telling us how we should live. And we've got the media stacked against us. So it is, you know, it is the Trump supporter against the entire rest of the country. And, you know, so it makes it very difficult. They vilify him for everything he does, even when he's right. And, you know, they try to kill him. And so, I mean, that is what we're up against. The historians will judge this time very differently than what we are seeing right now. And then what the press today talks about, it'll be viewed very differently. All I think, I think that the media, you know, whether they're left or right or what they are, should stop lying to the people. Tell it like it is. But they have an agenda. It's business. No, it's business. It's business and it's power. And, you know, the media, most of the media moguls, the guys that run the media outlets today are leftover hippies from the 60s. Okay. And they hire people in their own image. Power, power. Yeah. So, I mean, that's that's pretty much it. And they're Democrats. And, you know, the damnedest thing about these guys, they get rich and they become Democrats. Right. They want to take your money from you and spread it around to everybody else because it makes them feel good. And they get to go to Barbra Streisand's parties and they get to. They don't spread their wealth around. They even spread our wealth around. Yeah.
