TKAM #745 Silent Knight the Puerto Rican #affirmationFriday

Summary: 10.06.17 The weekend is here again! Stay positive, it makes the drinks taste better. #AffirmationFriday Our guest, musician Jay Silent Knight drops in, giving us information on his own projects, his band (The Band Called FUSE), and the situation in Puerto Rico as someone who has family there. All information about it, and the GoFundMe for his grandmother who is distributing food, is right down below. It might be affirmation Friday, but some things can’t wait until next Wednesday. TK, Cons, and Silent Knight roast Applebee’s for their “dollaritas” AKA recycled sewage. Applebee’s how many times do we have to air you out before you learn? #dollaritasSoWeak In #NewsYouCanUse: -Quick Update: Remember Tim Murphy, the pro-life senator who we aired out for telling his affair to have an abortion? He resigned! -The company behind the “Fearless Girl” statue on Wall street is facing charges for discrimination -So Cam Newton pulled a sexist move on a journalist who in turn had tweeted some racist stuff five years ago. It’s the Tale of Two Apologies. -Elon Musk could help Puerto Rico get its power back, because we know the US Government might not. -FEMA deleted some of its own statistics and got caught. Jay Silent Knight tells us more about him and all he’s involved with. Meanwhile, we learn just how the government can be so terrible to Puerto Rico and get away with it (Spoiler: there’s racism and colonialism involved). We bring it back to some positive energy as we check in on the chat room and talk about confidence. Silent Knight drops his own affirmation: celebrate the present but strive for the future. Our music today was curated by our guest, so enjoy a taste of the island! #Affirmation Friday @TKinTheAM is live every M-W-F 10-1130am EST on bondfireradio.com and tunein app. Same day replays 7pm EST also available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay Music, mixcloud, and /Spreaker!
