The dichotomy of the Hotline

I told Rick during a commercial break today that only on the Hotline can we warn people about an impending nuclear Holocaust and then hear something so good and happy that it makes you cry - so is the dichotomy of the Hotline.

I don't even know where to begin today, I'm looking through the pages of notes I made on the show, this was an extremely busy Monday. The pink anti-bully protest really is still in the news, as we spoke to the principal at Central Kings and the two students involved, David Shepard and Travis Price. Apparently, the story is being picked up around the world! A huge Hotline round of applause goes out to these nice guys who did something intelligent to shut down a bully. There are rumours about a possible interview with Oprah which would be very cool for these humble young men. Although I commend what they did, these guys are just regular, nice guys. Are they in such short supply that this makes news? I wish stories like this weren't the exception, but the norm.

I wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to Alexa McDonough and gulp...Peter Mackay for seemingly bringing a happy ending to the Heli Munroe saga. We spoke to Alexa and Sandy Munroe today and it looks like Heli will actually be coming home soon! It is an incredible ending to a heartbreaking story that's been going on for two years now. Sandy says he will let us know when she gets home and right now he's feeling a "tidal wave of joy". It's so strange that regular people are thrust into these situations in the media, but it shows that with the right amount of media pressure, you can make things happen. It also goes to show that things can happen when people forget about their political stripes and work together. Again, I wish it were the norm, rather than the exception.

Speaking of political parties, Rick kind of lost it on Wayne today. Rick gave him 10 minutes and then Wayne accused Rick of censoring him! Unreal! He's also accused the Hotline of being "controlled" by people, which is ludicrous.

Moving right along.....

Dr. Bill Deagle was so interesting, wasn't he? Do you believe him? As Rick was teeing him up last week and today, you think you're really going to meet a wackjob, but he was very nice and sounded very reasonable on the air. You can log onto his website: www.nutrimedical.com or listen to him on www.gnclive.com. He made 2 predictions, one that the U.S. would definitely invade Iran and secondly, that Hilary Clinton will the next president of the U.S. with Barack Obama as her vice-president. I'm so interested to see if these things will happen. He spoke very ominously about the path Prime Minister Harper is taking us down and talked about things like the Project for the New American Century, GNEP, the SPP and Pax Americana. Google some of these things, you might be astonished what you find. I liked his term "conspiracy reality" even though some of the things he talked about like the Iran-China partnership and all the nuclear weapons just ready to be used really scared me. What did you think? Did he make sense? Do you feel fear as well? Let me know or give us a call tomorrow, the first and third hours are open and we'll be talking about law and order with Jim Hoskins during hour number 2.


There are a few things that really annoy me, and one is when I agree with Daily News columnist Charles Moore. I completely agree with his column today about the Guardian Angels! What's the harm in getting a little information?

Sandy had called during the first hour with a crazy story about a woman getting into a fight with a man in a wheelchair at Sobeys! Rick and I were just looking at each other in utter disbelief! It's sad that little disagreements seem to escalate so quickly and easily now. It's hard to even point something out to people without them holding some sort of bitter vendetta. Sad.

Anyway....more tomorrow! We have some some awesome guests lined up this week, tune into tomorrow and Rick will give you the scoop!

Cheers!
