>> THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF "DONNYBROOK".

LOTS OF ELECTION ANALYSIS COMING YOUR WAY, BUT FIRST LET'S MEET OUR PANELISTS STARTING WITH SARAH FENSKE, EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF ST. LOUIS MAGAZINE.

BILL MCCLELLAN FROM YOUR POST DISPATCH.

AND JOE HOLL.. AND FROM THE ST. LOUIS AMERICAN ALVIN REID WITH WHOM WE WILL BEGIN THIS POST PRIMARY DISCUSSION.

ALVIN, OF COURSE ON TUESDAY, THE BIG STORY.

JUDGING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE, WASHINGTON POST, NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, BBC, JERUSALEM POST ALL COVERING CORI BUSH'S LOSS TO THE COUNTY PROSECUTOR WESLEY BELL IN TUESDAY'S DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION FOR THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

SHE HAD A PRETTY FIERY S..

AFTERWARDS, AND EVEN THE WHITE HOUSE COMMENTED ON IT, SAYING IT WAS TOO DIVISIVE, OVER HEATED.

THIS TIME WHEN WE RECENTLY HAD A FORMER PRESIDENT SHOT AT, IT WAS JUST OVER THE TOP.

WHAT DID YOU THINK?

>> TUESDAY IT WAS 110 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON IT WAS IN THE MID-70s.

THAT'S WHAT PO.. TUESDAY.

.. THAT TEMPERATURE CHANGE.

MODERATION IS A GOOD THING.

WE AS A PARTY AND THE ENTIRE NATION, BUT ESPECIALLY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SAID, WE NEED TO MODERATE OURSELVES, AND WE ARE STARTING RIGHT NOW.

COREY, WE ARE SORRY YOU LOST UNDER THE SITUATION THAT YOU DID WITH THE APEC MONEY AND ALL THAT.

BUT WESLEY BELL WON, AND HE'S GOING TO BE THE CONGRESSMAN.

WE'VE GOT TO TONE IT DOWN.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO OUT HATE THIS OTHER SIDE.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO OUT MAN THE OTHER SIDE.

WHAT WE HAVE GOT TO DO IS OUTVOTE THE OTHER SIDE.

THIS IS A PRAGMATIC WAY TO T GO ABOUT IT.

>> SHE SAID APEC I'M GOING TO TEAR DOWN YOUR CORPORATIONS.

I DON'T HAVE STRINGS ATTACHED ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M A FREE AGENT.

WAS A SELL-OUT DAW TO THE FACT HE GOT A LOT OF MONEY AND DECIDED TO TAKE HER ON.

>> I GET WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, JOE BIDEN WOULDN'T LIKE THE THINGS COREY SAID.

WHAT COREY SAID WAS VERY IN KEEPING WITH COREY.

WHAT HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN SHE DIBBLED DOWN ON HER DOUBLED D OWN.

SHE CHOSE TO STAY TRUE TO WHO SHE WAS, FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS NEVER LIKED HER.

SHE'S IN THAT SQUAD THAT THEY SEE AS TROUBLE.

>> I WOULDN'T SAY THE WHOLE DEMOCRATIC STRUCTURE DIDN'T LIKE HER.

.. WHITE HOUSE SPOKESWOMAN IS OH, OH, OH.

THEY ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY ABOUT THE SQUAD.

>> AS AN OLD FASHIONED NEW DEAL SORT OF LIBERAL I HAVE NEVER LIKED CORI, ALTHOUGH I LIKED AOC.

I THOUGHT SH..

PERSON.

CORI.. TIME.

SHE WOULDN'T.. WOULDN'T TALK TO THE RABBI.

SHE WOULDN'T TALK TO THE UNIONS.

SHE HAD HER GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND SHE WAS JUST ANGRY.

THAT'S NOT A WINNING THING ANYMORE.

>.. BECAUSE OF APEC, BUT WHAT APEC DID WAS SHINE A LIGHT ON REASONS THAT YOU EVENTUALLY LOST, WHICH IS THAT YOU ALIENATED VIRTUALLY ALL THE JEWISH POPULATION IN YOUR DISTRICT, AND YOU AGGRAVATED A BUNCH OF UNION WORKERS IN YOUR DISTRICT.

DID APEC SHINE A LIGHT ON THAT?

ABSOLUTELY.

APEC WASN'T ACTI HIDING, THEY ARE SAYING WE ARE GOING AFTER ANYBODY WHO ADOPTED THE STANCE SHE DID ABOUT ISRAEL AND HAMAS.

I UNDERSTAND BEING ANGRY, AND I UNDERSTAND SHE'S SHE'S NEW.

AND LIKE OF LIKE BOWMAN.

>> SHE DIDN'T USE BECAUSE OF APAC.

SHOWING IT.

6% MORE PEOPLE WANTED WESLEY BELL AS CONGRESSMAN.

>> YOU I THINK MORE BLACK PEOPLE VOTED FOR WESLEY BELL THAN EITHER SIDE CAN ASCERTAIN.

I THINK BLACK PEOPLE WON THE ELECTION FOR WESLEY BELL.

>> HOW ABOUT THE MAYOR?

TISHAURA JONES WAS ON STAGE BEHIND CORI BUSH'S CONCESSION SPEECH.

SHE NO..

IF SHE'S THE NEXT TARGET OF APAC.

AND SHE SAID POPELY, HEY, AM I NEXT?

BECAUSE I SUPPORTED CORP CORI.

>> THEY ARE SAYING IF YOU ARE COMING AFTER ISRAEL, WE ARE COMING AFTER YOU.

>> OVER THE NEXT #, 10 MONTHS I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH THE MAYOR OF ST. LOUIS AFFECTS NATIONAL PROBLEM.

>> IT'S THE 501C4S, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE CONTRIBUTORS ARE, CORRECT?

THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF AN ANONYMITY THAT REPUBLICANS ARE GIVING MONEY.

>> I THINK SHE'S STILL THE HEAVY FAVORITE BUT IT WAS THE BLACK GIRL MAGIC THING.

CORI BUSH, KIM GARDNER AND TISHAURA JONES, AND IF YOU ARE SITTING IN THE OFFICE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE AND TWO OF THEM ARE GONE, SHE HAS RIGHT TO WORRY.

>> I DON'T THINK SHE'S WORRIED.

I DON'T THINK SHE'S WORRIED.

OF THE THREE OF THEM, IF YOU ASKED ME TWO YEARS AGO WHO IS GOING TO BE AROUND IN POLITICS?

IT'S GOING TO BE TISHAURA.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE OTHER TWO.

TISHAURA.

>>.. SHE'S SUPPORTING A MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO IS AGAINST BOEING PUTTING $2 MILLION INTO THE REGION.

>> SHE KNOWS.

>>.. POLICE.

SHE PROBABLY COINED THE PHRASE.

>> I SUPPORTED CORI BUSH.

SHE LOST.

SHE'S DONE.

THAT'S OVER.

>> BUT SHE IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION.

>> I KEEP SAY IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE TRY TO PREDICT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN POLITICS.

YOU CAN'T DO 10 DAYS IN POLITICS AND BE CONCERN OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

TH.. TO MAKE SURE HEY, ARE THEY COMING AFTER ME NEXT?

THAT'S A GOOD POLITICAL MOVE BECAUSE YOUR SUPPORTERS ARE LIKE WE HAVE GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR TISHAURA.

>> DOES WESLEY BELL HAVE AN ISSUE BECAUSE HE'S P IN COURT WITH DEPP SIGNATURES IN JANUARY.

>> THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S NEVER WENT AWAY.

I WAS READY TO REPORT ON THE ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CONCLUDED BEFORE THE ELECTION TOOK PLACE, BUT BECAUSE OF A DEATH IN THE FAMILY REPRESENTING THE PLAINTIFF AGAINST WESLEY BELL, SH THEY HAD TO DELAY THE TRIAL.

WE WILL FIND OUT WHEN WE FIND OUT WHAT THE TRIAL SAYS HAPPENED.

>>.. >> WESLEY BELL IS GOING TO BE THE CONGRESS PERSON.

>> NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

>> MY GUESS IS THAT TISHAURA JONES IS GOING TO WIN REELECTION.

AND AND AIPAC ..

ANYTHING TO DO NEGLIGENCE.

>> TWO WAYS TO RUN, RUN UNOPPOSED OR RUN SCARED.

POLITICIANS, THE SMART ONES, IF THEY HAVE AN OPPONENT, THEY RUN SQUARED.

>.. WHAT ABOUT SAM PAGE?

HE HAD A BAD WEEK IMAW GRETCHEN BANGER IS NO FAN.

AND SHALONDA WEBB GOT RESOUNDINGLY REELECTED 67% OF THE VOTE AGAINST GRAY.

AND ERNIE TRACAS LOST TO MICHAEL ARCHER.

NOW SAM PA.. ON THE ST. LOUIS COUNTY COUNCIL.

>> I THINK YOU COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT IF ANYBODY NOT ON THE BALLOT HAD A BAD WEEK, SAM PAGE HAD THE WORST.

AND I AGREED WITH WHAT HE SAID WHEN HE SAID 90% OF WHAT WE DO IN THE COUNTY WE ALL AGREE ON, AND I AGREE WITH THAT.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOFT INITIATIVES THAT SAM WANTS TO GET DONE.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL.. PEOPLE MORE AND MORE.

HE DOESN'T HAVE VETO POWER.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THE MAJORITY BEHIND HIM.

HE'S G..

HIM BETTER THAN HE EVER HAS BEFORE OR HE WILL BE COMPLETELY INFECUNEFFECTIVE.

>> I THINK SAM PAGE IS GOING TO BE FINE.

..

THE COUNCIL LONG BEFORE THIS PARTICULAR SET OF PARTICULAR COMPOSITION.

HE'S HAD DEMOCRATS WHO CAN'T STAND HIM FOR A WHILE.

HE STILL CONTROLS THE APPARATUS, ALL THE HIRING HE CAN DO, AS WE'VE SEEN, AND I THINK THERE'S WAYS THAT HE CAN GET THE MAJOR THINGS THROUGH JUST AS WELL AS HE'S DONE UP UNTIL NOW, WHICH ISN'T TO SAY THAT GREAT BUT I DON'T THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO GET THAT MUCH WORSE.

>> HOPE HE DOESN'T DO TOO MUCH HIRING.

>>.. FOR HIM, ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES COMING UP IS GOING TO BE AN UNPOPULAR ONE AND THAT'S A NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

I WOULD AS SOON SLOUGH THAT OFF ON THE COUNTY COUNCIL.

>> IT WAS THE PERSON HE COULDN'T HIRE THAT LEAD TO THE ONE.

I GUARANTEE YOU ALMOST 25% COULD CARE LESS WHO SAM PAGE AND 25 PERCENT DON'T KNOW WHO SAM PAGE IS.

50% OF THE 66%, IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SAM PAGE.

>> I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THAT, THOUGH.

>.. ABOUT THE GOVERNOR'S RACE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.

MIKE KEHOE NOT EXACTLY A MODERATE BUT COMPARED TO BILL EIGEL THE LAWMAKER OUT OF ST. CHARLES, AND JAY ASHCROFT, MIKE KEHOE OUTLASTED BOTH OF THEM.

.. YOU HAVE TWO CONSERVATIVE FLAME THROWERS THAT I THINK CUT INTO EACH OTHERS' VOTES AND THAT ALLOWED THE MORE CENTRIST CANDIDATE TO BE IN THE STATE THAT'S NOT PARTICULARLY CENTRIST.

IF O..

THE RACE I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PICTURE.

BIGGER PICTURE, AS M.. WAS A TERRIBLE NIGHT FOR SAM PAGE, I THINK IT WAS A REALLY GOOD NIGHT FOR GOVERNOR MIKE PARSON.

HE HAD THREE D.. THAT HE ENDED UP APPOINTING TO STATEWIDE OPENINGS.

HE ENDORSED ALL THREE OF THEM.

ALL THREE OF THEM WON AND TWO OF THESE GUYS WERE NOT KNOWN AT ALL BEFORE HE PLUCKED THEM.

THIS IS ANDREW BAILEY AND VIVEK.

AND I THINK MIKE PARSON'S ENFORCEMENT IS A BIG REASON WHY.

>> HOW ABOUT WILL SKHARF GETTING CLOBBERED BY ANDREW BAILEY?

>> HOW INTERESTING THAT ANDREW BAILEY WHO EVERY LAWYER TALKED TO, ROLLS HIS EYES, AND CONSTANTLY BRINGING THE BAD CASES.

IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER.

>> I THINK REPUBLICANS WHO WERE IN OFFICE WERE GOING TO WIN BECAUSE THEY WERE IN OFFICE.

AND LIKE WHAT I SAID ABOUT WHO VOTED FOR SHALONDA WEBB, HE'S THE TOP REPUBLICAN GUYS.

>> DO YOU THINK PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT'S THE CURRENT TREASURER?

>> I REALLY DO.

AND WITH VIVEK.

AND I DIDN'T THINK BARA BRAM BARAK OBAMA WOULD GET ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

I WAS WRONG.

>> AND A BUSINESSMAN WHO MET PAYROLLS AND KNOWS HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS, AND HE LOSE LOSES HANDEDLY.

>> THERE'S ALWAYS THE TALK CAN A WOMAN REALLY BE NOMINATED OVER MIKE HAMMER, WELL RESPECTED, SPENT A LOT OF MONEY, FROM A FAMILY THAT HAD BEEN POLITICALLY ACTIVE, AND HIS DAD WAS POLITICALLY ACTIVE IN THAT SPRINGFIELD AREA.

AND QUAID WAS SO YOUNG, AND I FOR THE THIS WOULD GET HER GOOD EXPOSE ARE, BUT I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION, BUT I DID, SO I WAS SURPRISED THAT SHE WON.

>> POST DISPATCHE ENDORSEMENT.

>> DEMOCRATS LIKE CRYSTAL QUADE.

DEMOCRATS LIKE HER.

SHE'S PUTTING UP A GOOD FIGHT DOWN THERE IN JEFFERSON CITY OUT OF SPRINGFIELD.

I NEVER MET THE WOMAN.

>> IF MISSOURI LICENSE, IF THEY PAY ATTENTION, SHE TALKS LIKE A RURAL MISSOURI AN.

>> HOW ABOUT DEMOCRATS LIKE RAY HARTMANN, FORMER PANELIST GOT 77% OF THE VOTE IN THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY.

.. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

>> BLYTHE HAS BEEN CRANKING OUT ONE CRAZY STORY AFTER ANOTHER.

ONE IS EMILY JANE HUBBARD, A MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL BOARD WANTS MATT DAVIS AND TONY COUSINS TO RESIGN BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT ALL THE PEOPLE FROM SEATTLE AND THEIR SPOUSES TO WORK ON THE COMPANY DIME, BUT SHE ALSO VOTED FOR IT.

AND I SAID I.. MAYBE YOU SHOULD RESIGN TOO.

>> I THINK HER LETTER CALLING FOR THE RESIGNATIONS, EVENING IT WAS A GOOD STEP FOR THE ST. LOUIS BOARD OF EDUCATION.

LIKE ANY OTHER LEGISLATIVE BODY I'VE EVER DEALT WITH, THEY REFUSED TO GIVE QUOTES AS INDIVIDUALS.

THEY..

SPEAK FOR OUR GROUP AND NEVER ALLOW ANY DISSENSION TO BUBBLE UP.

..

I THINK HER COMING OUT AND SAYING THESE TWO NEED TO RESIGN WAS PUSHING BACK ON THAT BUT THE THINGS SHOVED DOWN THEIR THROAT, INABILITY TO HAVE DISSENT AND ASK QUESTIONS, AND SHE SAID I'M DOING THINGS I REGRET BECAUSE THE CULTURE HERE HAS NOT BEEN GOOD.

AND I APPRECIATE HER.. >> I DON'T THINK THERE'S A WRONG POSITION TO HOLD ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IF WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR IS A CLOSER LOOK.

I WILL BACK ANYBODY ON THAT BOARD THAT SAYS WE NEED TO LOOK AT.

LOOKED AT AND FITZPATRICK, THE AUDITOR AGREED TO COME IN AND ACTUALLY DO THE AUDIT.

I HOPE THEY GO THROUGH EVERY BOOK, CHECK THE ACCOUNT, CHECK EVERYBODY'S BANK ACCOUNT ON THE BOARD.

SUNSHINE TO WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.

WHETHER SHE SHOULD RESIGN OR DOES SHE HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY THEY SHOULD RESIGN, I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD SAY LET'S LOOK AT EVERYTHING.

STARTS WITH SQUARE 1.

>> AND THE MAYOR CALLED FOR THIS, AND THE MAYOR SAID WE NEED TO AUDIT EVEN THOUGH THE MAYOR HAS NOTHING TO DO TECHNICALLY WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I DON'T KNOW THIS.

I'M SAYING THAT I WOULD NOT BE SHOCKED IF OUR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER WE'RE SPEAKING OF ENDED UP SUPPORTING CARA SPENCER FOR MAYOR.

AND MA..

TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS AUDIT AND GETTING RIGHT IN THERE.

CAN YOU DO SOMETHING?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

SHE MAY BE SPORTING MAYOR JONES ALL THE WAY.

WHY IS SHE DOING THIS AFTER YOU VOTED TO KEEP THE SUPERINTENDENT ON-THE-JOB?

THE FIRS.. GO IS THE SUPERINTENDENTS.

>> I THINK SHE FELT WE AS A BOARD SIGNED OFF ON ALL OF THIS STUFF, AND WHY ARE WE TOPPLING THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THINGS SHE RAN PAST US.

I THINK SHE'S KIND OF A TRUE BLUE PROGRESSIVE.

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S SUPPORTING SPENCER OR JONES.

>> I THINK ACROSS THE LAND BOARDS HAVE GOTTEN LAZY, AND THEY DON'T DO THE DUE DILIGENCE, AND NO ONE WAS READING THE BILLS.

WE..

THE CLAYTON SCHOOL BOARD.

YOU KNOW WHAT, $42 MILLION REVERSAL IN A BUDGET DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

THE FACT THAT 35% OF THE TEACHERS IN THOSE SCHOOLS ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO TEACH.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

>> ACTUALLY IT DID, BECAUSE THE BUS COMPANY QUIT.

>> DON'T FORGET THEY WERE MISSING ALL OF THE.. YEAR AS WELL.

>> BUT WERE THEY UP AND QUIT, THAT PRECIPITATED THIS SITUATION.

IT D.. >> RUNNING BUSES IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, AND PARKWAY HAS THE GRACES, THEY HIRE THE DRIVERS THEMSELVES AND VESTED WITH A PENSION AFTER FIVE YEARS AND GOT THE BUSES TO TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL.

>>.. YOU ARE TOO BUSINESS IRRELEVANT TALKING, IT SEEMS IF YOU RUN A SCHOOL DISTRICT, STEP 1, GET THE KIDS TO SCHOOL.

>> I AGREE.

>> FORGET ANY GREAT SOUNDING PROGRAM YOU HAVE.

IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD IF A KID CAN'T GET ON A BUS AND GET TO THE PROGRAM.

AND THEY ARE NOT HANDLING THE BASIS.

&g..

THESE STUDENTS OFF THE BEACH, AND MAYBE WE WILL GET 70% OF THEM.

OR A VAN, PLEASE GO ACROSS THE CHANNEL.

>> I THINK WHAT HAPP.. THAT WE AS A NATION RIGHTFULLY SO ARE SO IN LOVE WITH THE NOTION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY WERE INDEED ONE TIME ONE OF THE GREAT SIGNATURE THINGS OF THE U.S. >> I'M LOOKING IN THE CITY, ALVIN.

>>.. >> WE EMBRACE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS BEING THE INFALLIBLE ENTITY, AND IT'S GOOD, AND YEAH, IT'S GOING TO HAVE SOME BUMPS.

THE WHEELS HAVE COME OFF THE WAGON IN THE CITY.

FORGET WHAT YOU THINK PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE CITY CAN DO.

LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE NOT DOING AND PUT ASIDE ANY ROMANTIC NOTIONS OF IT.

>> WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO?

>> WHAT GOOD DOES IT SAY THE WHEELS ARE FALLING OFF.

>> THEN FIX IT.

>> WE ALL SAY THERE'S PROBLEMS.

YOU ABOUT I THINK SITTING THERE AND ALWAYS BEING DOWN ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS NOT A GOOD SOLUTION.

>> FOR 20 YEARS WE EXTOLD IT AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE.

AND HOW ABOUT CRITICISM, PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN BE AMAZING THINGS.

>> I HOPE YOU INTERVIEW FOR THE NEXT SUPERINTENDENT JOB.

>> I WOULD BE HAPPY TOO, BUT I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS.

>> THAT'S NOT A PROB.. LOUIS.

>> WE ALREADY GAVE THE J.. WOMAN THAT'S RUN OUT OF SEATTLE.

>> HOPEFULLY THEY WILL HIRE WITHIN.

>> YOU.. >> ME TOO.

>> AND MR. CHICAGO.

I WANT TO ASK .. ONE OF THE GREAT PERFORMANCE OUT OF ST. LOUIS WITH 3 #GRAMMIESAND 10 AMERICAN BILLBOARD AWARDS AND SOLD 20, 30 MILLION RECORDS BUT HE WAS ARRESTED 3:30 WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR NOT HAVING INSURANCE, DRIVERS INSURANCE, I GUESS, AND ALSO DRUG POSSESSION.

AND THE GOOD NEWS FOR HIM IS HE HAS SCOTT ROSENBLOOM AS HIS ATTORNEY.

>.. ARRESTING HIM BECAUSE HE HAD AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT FOR FAILING TO HAVE PROOF OF INSURANCE, THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS.

WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME JUDGMENT.

I MEAN, THE THING TO DO WHEN YOU RUN A CHECK ON SOMEBODY AND SAY THEY DIDN'T APPEAR FOR NOT HAVING INSURANCE, SAY TO HIM SIR, I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU GET THE INSURANCE THING TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE I BET YOU REALLY HAVE INSURANCE ON YOUR VEHICLE.

I COULD ARREST YOU BUT I DON'T HAVE TO.

YOU DON'T SUDDENLY HANDCUFF THE GUY.

>> 3:30 IN THE MORNI.. YOU HAVE A WARRANT FOR NOT HAVING INSURANCE.

OKAY.

IT'S 3:30 IN THE MORNING, AND YOU ARE AT A CASINO.

I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A BREATHALYZER.

YOU LEAVE HERE.. DOWN.

&g..

I'M APPALLED THEY WOULD FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD TAKE HIM IN AND BOOK HIM OVER SOMETHING LIKE NOT HAVING INSURANCE.

IF HE HAD KILLED A PERSON, IF IT HAD BEEN DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED.

>> FOUR ECTACY PILLS, AND YOU WOULD LET HIM DRIVE HOME?

>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S A HEINOUS CRIME.

NELLY WOULD HAVE WENT AND APPEARED IN COURT ON THE NOT HAVING INSURANCE, TAKING CARE OF IT, AND THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM.

LET'S IGNORE THAT.

>> HOW PETTY CAN WE GET SAYING THIS MAN DID NOT HAVE PROOF OF INSURANCE AND A TRAFFIC STOP AND MR. COURT, WE ARE PUTTING HAND SUFFICIENCY ON YOU.

>> ASIDE FROM THE INFRACTION, WHICH IS NOT THAT SERIOUS.

I THINK JOE EDWARDS SHOULD HAVE HIM PERFORM ONCE A MONTH LIKE WE USED TO DO WITH CHUCK BETTER I AND SHOULD BE FUNDED BY THE TOURIST POSITION, SO KIND OF LIKE HOW BILLY JOEL WOULD BE AT MADISON SQUARE GUARDER.

>> I WOULD LOVE THIS, BUT THE MO MO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL WOULD COME.

&g..

TICKET.

>> WHAT ABOUT JUST PAYING THE PARKING TICKET?

>> EVERYBODY SHOULD BE PERFECT ABOUT THIS STUFF, BUT PEOPLE AREN'T.

>> B.. >> BAD ON NOT HAVING PROPER INSURANCE.

>.. WOULD YOU PLEASE SAY A NICE WORD FOR THE RETIRING COLLEAGUE SHARON HASKINS AFTER 24 YEARS OF GREETING PEOPLE AT 3365 OLIVE STREET AND ANSWERING CALLS ON NEXT UP AND YOUR TURN HAS DECIDED TO HANG IT UP.

SO WE WISH HAPPY RETIREMENT TO YOU, SHARON HASKINS.

>> SHE IS GREAT.

SHE WAS SO MUCH FUN.

SHE ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING GOOD TO SAY.

WAS STARRING ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND NOW HE'S ON THE RAMS, AND I HOPE SHARON TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND TAKES IT EASY AND WATCHES FOOTBALL THIS FALL.

>> LONG BEFORE ANY OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION OF THE NINENETWORK WAS HERE AND NOT JUST LIKE A GUEST, AND I WOULDN'T GET PAID IN A WHILE, I WOULD CALL AND SHE SAID ALVIN I WILL CHECK ON YOU YOU AND I COULDN'T SAY NICE, SHARON.

>> WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THAT THIS WEEK.

DO WE GO TO THE MAILBAG .. SAY GOOD NIGHT?

GO TO THE MAILBAG.

THANK YOU, TOM SULLIVAN UNIVERSITY CITY.

YOU CAN WRITE US AT THAT ADDRESS, AND WE LOVE THE E-MAIL AS WELL AS THE SOCIAL MEDIA.

DON'T FORGET TO CALL THE NINE LINE.

AGAIN, WE SALUTE YOU SHARON HASKINS.

EVERYBODY ELSE.
