Well they finally got Chick fil a. They found they got to them. The Penrose News Radio 600 KOGO. More bullying from the game off the judge chick fil a made a major announcement the chicken restaurant chain is caving to the social pressure to back away from their religious roots and move toward charities that focus on education homelessness and hunger. College Park Georgia is where chick flays headquartered they're making major changes to their charitable foundation ending donations to 2 organizations that they've been criticized from the l.g.b. T.q. Community one The Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the other the Salvation Army did you know that. The organization that they were criticized for making contributions to out of their corporate profits one of them was the Salvation Army I thought everyone loved that red bucket a Christmas does is the l g b t Q community mad at any store that has the Salvation Army collecting money for the poor at Christmas time and the fellowship for Christian Athletes. So that you know the. Children that are trying to advance athletic scholarships according to the gay rights organization glad they said in a statement that Chick fil A's customers and employees should greet today's announcement with cautious opt in opt in bits of that satisfied yet they're no longer giving money to the Salvation Army they're no longer giving money making a contribution to the Christian Fellowship of Christian Athletes but glad they gave rights organization says that they're still cautious they're not of that outsold yet well look this is goes into the heart of what is so wrong in America today this is happening over and over and over again these organizations that support the l.g.b. T.q. Community are literally spending time combing through internet websites of major organizations and retail establishment brands restaurant chains anything that's national to find some glimpse of something to get offended on and then making a national stink over I've said this before I think if you're a business you enter into politics at your own peril I think Nike is foolish for doing what they're doing. I think there are other organizations that are very outward about their support of Republican causes I think that's foolish but that's political stuff you almost have to expect getting hammered if you're a brand or a hotel chain or the restaurant chain or anything like that or to get involved in politics. But when it comes to having a rooted religious philosophical point of view not the company itself it's not as if chick fil a was not serving sandwiches to anybody in the l.g.b. T.q. Community or it wasn't that chick fil a wasn't hiring people in the l.g.b. T.q. Community it's that of their Among their corporate profits they would make contributions to charitable causes and they chose to charitable causes and both those charitable causes don't define the family unit the way the gay rights organization glad defines the gay right defines the family unit so it isn't even that chick fil a I know the c.e.o. Has made some thoughts and statements but he's just one guy isn't speak for the whole company and it's not like the chick fil a mission statement says marriage is between a man and a woman so it does seem particularly unfair to go after them in the 1st place and they're only going out make no mistake about this they're only going after them because they are an evangelical even joke a Christian organization you don't see this kind of fervor. The gay rights community after other religious groups or other organizations that are led by or support you know it Judaism or Southern Baptist or Catholic or Shinto I mean you just don't see that it's always the same thing they're always targeting the Christian evangelicals all the time. So look I've said this before I do think businesses enter politics at their peril but for the most part Dolly Parton was right when she says in the entertainment business we stay out of that we don't get involved you'll never know who I'm voting for for president that that was the kind of the rule of thumb in in the entertainment business then I think businesses can do it they have every right to get involved but I think it's foolish print for them to do it but this is different this isn't picking a particular political point of view this isn't supporting a political candidate for office or weighing in on national politics or even controversial issues chick fil a didn't make any comment and the then c.e.o. Of chick play didn't make any comment about the gay community he was supporting organizations that do among a bunch of other stuff look at marriage as something that is a family unit between a man and a woman that's what the emboli if you're the Salvation Army What else are you going to do that's what I mean there you're the Salvation Army I mean there's religious overtones to that the Fellowship of Christian Athletes probably is pretty Christian I don't know how you get away from that so the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the Salvation Army now won't get the contributions in 2800 chick fil a donated 1600000 to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and 115002 the Salvation Army they will get that money now because of the gay rights activists it does seem unfair I don't know what their hang up is because as I've said the you know the red kettle is out there every Christmas in front of every store I mean I didn't know that they were so sore now the gay community was so sore at the Salvation Army they Salvation Army has always been every latest organization it's not like it just adopted these new ideas Bibles been around forever so I and I don't know what they're supposed to do how can they how can the Salvation Army denounce a couple of sections out of the Bible in order to qualify. With the filter of the gay rights community to then allow chick fil a to make a contribution to avoid all this kerfuffle So here's the question I have for your I think it's a pretty fair question should fast food restaurants should fast food chains should any food chain any restaurant chain in America and retailers should they stay away from controversial social or political agendas altogether I mean if you're selling chicken or you're not selling chicken if you're selling chicken and you have. Any religious stance that becomes public you open yourself up to boycott I've met the c.e.o. Of Chick fil a many many many years ago certainly a religious man a college park gas' where their headquarters is Bible Belt folks and they're closed on Sunday chick fil a is not at all hiding their ethos but they're not leading with it either that or causing anybody any harm and they're not really talking about l.g.b. T.q. Issues at all they're just supporting what they support which is well when I say day they're contributing to causes that view marriage in a different way somehow that has so tweaked the gay mafia Here's the question should fast food companies stay away from controversial and social political agendas that's next we'll take your telephone calls Also are you more likely to shop or boycott a store. With a given agenda I mean does it do you think that deeply about it or are you are and are you even for some of the agendas out there that's next on the Penrose report liberals on News Radio 600 call go let's check in with Cain to find out what's happening here Hi Lou sunny San Diego Honda dealers traffic centers southbound 8 o 5 not too terrible yet here peaceable of art all the way down to the $54.00 is a 35 minute trip the $54.00 is backed up from the 5 to the 8 o 5 that was from an earlier incident southbound 5 your traffic looks on and off from the split to the 54 it's a 40 minute drive it's a little bit backed up on the bridge maybe about a quarter span back up and you're going to find some slow and go traffic through San Marcos east and westbound on the $78.00 East on the $78.00 we had an accident just after last post says which is a clearing status now the ride up the coast not too bad at all just a little bit of slowing from a torrid Loma Santa Fe this report is sponsored by valley view Casino and Hotel now when you join the players club at the all new Valleyview casino and hotel received $200.00 in free offers no strings attached signing up It's quick easy and free check out all the offers and more boards of players club membership at Value casino dot com That's Valleyview casino dot com And Laura Kane Congress next real time traffic update is that $326.00 Thank you Laura coming up on News Radio $600.00 KOGO of a pair of tickets to wonder front Music and Arts Festival $100.00 plus artists 10 plus stages 3 days of music Connery and the arts the festival descends on the stunning Bay of downtown San Diego Friday with the City meets the bay keep listening for your chance to win a pair of tickets today balance of nature changing the world one life in a time here a product is absolutely amazing I can't tell you how my life has been changed so completely I'm just at a loss to describe.

President's Radio $600.00 KOGO chick fil a will stop giving donations to. Charities that are considered anti l g b t Q In 2020 the president Chief Operating Officer Tom Tasso Polis said there's lots of articles newscasts about Chick fil a and we thought we needed to be clear about our message so they will stop supporting the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes next year chick so I will focus on 3 initiatives. Education homelessness and hunger chick fil a the 3rd largest fast food chain in the nation closed on Sunday so look. That not only do I. Don't check the social or political agenda of my brand my label my restaurant I don't really even want to know. I mean I don't want to know as always or bang the law I don't really care what the political point of view is of the c.e.o. In the 1st place and I frankly would caution the c.e.o. To not let anybody know but if they want to let people know and that they want to let people know that they're closed on Sunday because of God and they want to give to the Salvation Army because of God They ought to be able to do that that's going to stop me from going there I don't need a cheerful My boys don't like it really but Laura Cain likes. But I really do wish they would stop getting in these. Public arguments because I just don't think it's good for them in the long run now everyone's going to say and I don't know if you agree with this that chick fil a caved they caved to the pressure they could have withstood the pressure I remember when. I was getting in hot water and people lined up lines outside the door to support them so they could have turned this one around made it into a political stunt for themselves but they decided the new c.e.o. Said look enough is enough we can't win this these people just they get all bent out of shape and there's nothing we can do so we have to stop giving to charities and causes that we believe in that support issues that we believe and give to charities and cloth causes that I guess the l.g.b. T.q. Community have determined are clones enough that they no longer own fandom I don't think one chicken sandwich is sold or not sold because of these positions I just don't 80600 KOGO Let's go to Mary and ask indeed Oh Mary you're on KOGO. Hey Lou Thanks so much I really appreciate your so thank you you know you were asking. Whether it was appropriate that before the commercial break whether it was appropriate for companies to give the controversial groups and I think that begs the question like who gets to decide what's controversial you know the Salvation Army wasn't controversial even a couple of years ago they don't deny service to people who are l.g.b. T.q. They just have a statement of faith and I think that we're letting activist groups and political groups be the arbiters of these things now and I think about sort of ceding power that we shouldn't be sitting as a culture where you're actually right I mean it is it is the game Mom gets to decide you know what what what what what organization it is Ok for Chick fil a to be giving to without you know getting their own you know getting their ire Yeah you know and I mean they're even saying well we're going to focus on hunger Well really the Salvation Army helps So it's it's this I understand the hesitation to say that they're caving but I mean I don't know I just wonder where that's an. I I look I think it doesn't end I don't think these folks are going to give up I mean they'll be some somebody I know whether it's Hobby Lobby next to die I know that there is a bible verse on the bottom of in and out burger the the Bible. On the bottom of it in our burger Cup He didn't see that see the secret you learn me listen to the banner show. There's a bible verse on the bottom of the cup and the inside they got to go out is it say now what it was they were just living it up all different about him Ok Now the Bible is. Says just say John 316 years ago. Did this other ones I told you that yeah you know I said look at the time of the Enlightenment it's everybody's walk on the. Reports It's underneath on the inside rim and I don't need on rings new the see that now I'm going to cause all kinds of problems for in and out because of the gay mafia is going to go after them because the Bible does not say nice things about avarice homosexuality and some but not the fault of anybody except the person wrote the Bible and I you know I'm not I don't have an editorial right to go and limit the things are in the Bible so it is almost impossible to be. A company that is led by or include in its mission statement right any biblical. References or any biblical traits if you will would be impossible to do that without embracing the Bible you embrace the Bible you get in touch you get in trouble with the. Community and then it's all the gold goes downhill after that so you know so I think Mary's absolute right doesn't it I mean it would never end I mean it would just it's just nonstop and you almost have to make a decision whether or not you going to fight back or just not not allow your stockholders your employees you know the company and the assets to the fall victim to these folks so I look I think that chick fil a chick fil a is not a small company is doing very well so they could certainly have you know fought back and they have in the past I mean they've they've held firm on their points of view in their beliefs and and look what's happened people have come out and supported them they've lined up and they want to go out and have a Chick fil a just to demonstrate their support of their ability even by the way there are people in the l.g.b. T.q. Community that support Chick fil a because I think chick fil a ought to have the right to do this and as I said they weren't doing anything that was hurting anybody just say that most people go to AAA because they like their chicken because of the chicken Yeah Right now I think you're absolutely right I think that's I think that's at the end of the day where it's all going to go so a lot of this is going to be I think you know marginal amounts of money because people will go to take fillet as I've said just because it's the chicken and most of them don't know and really shouldn't know about these kinds of stories it's glad that the gay rights organization that really shone the light on this but it's going to continue to go on and. Then the next step I think is just going to be examining who is being treated unfairly so when we come back is Chick fil a being targeted not treated unfairly but targeted in the 1st place because of their evangelical mission statement that's next on the Penrose report Lou Penrose on News Radio 600 KOGO traffic and lower Canaille or a move from the San Diego County Credit Union traffic center south Benito 5 get a little bit busier down near Mesa pull of our to the 94 you're looking at 41 minutes where the traffic there southbound 5 in and out is slowing from the split to the 5444 minutes there the trip bridge traffic started back up almost all the way across and it's really slow heading at through old town on eastbound 8 Mission Bay drive to Hotel Circle that's what I meant Hotel Circle also slow from the 15 outward S.T.'s you on the other side of the freeway looks like a vehicle hit something and there's trash all over the place right near the 15 there's a little back up westbound because of that I'm Laura Cain Coco's Nextel time traffic update is it 332 cocktail time ad campaign rose just got a lot better haiku Penrose I'd like to introduce you to drink works and automated high tech cocktail maker that makes delicious mixed drinks and cocktails all at the push of a button and it sits right there compact and sharp right on your kitchen counter or dry bar with a wide variety of over 30 cocktails to choose from and super convenient in 60 seconds you have an ice cold cocktail or mixed drink drink works is your fun solution for turning your place into a high end bar lounge now there's an early bird discount of $100.00 but just for you I'm able to take an additional $50.00 off that's $150.00 in savings we need to order now go to drink Works dot com and use my promo code KOGO that drink Works dot com promo code k o g o and you'll save 150 dollars and get free shipping trick works dot com promo code Gogo please enjoy responsibly and remember to invite me over.

Of the chain at the time he wasn't talking about his restaurant or the reason why he gives to the Salvation Army but they asked him the question about his religious faith Here's what he said there's an employer a crisis in the sense that there's a certain amount of emotional day and there's a call d.n.a. Obviously becomes from the day and also from the month but beyond that there's some show emotion all day and I think God intended for us to get that letter and it will be served over whitefish children and chimps even growing up that we can only get from our day and we only get it from mother and we're to get it in any kind of a better in the writing together best ability and the self-esteem I think was just there to get through our teenage years so that's what he said to talk about how challenging it is to be a you know teenager in America in 2012 he hires a lot of teenagers right because that's who works at chick fil a often is the case in fast food restaurants and you know men the guys I get a years old in College Park Georgia I mean this does not sound particularly offensive there's a lot of people in our generation and by the way I don't agree with that I think that you can certainly raise children a number of different ways and provide them with all the things they need but I was for marriage equality back before it was popular but at the same time I could be in favor of marriage equality and also be a Catholic at the same time. I don't eat chicken but I you know I mean there's nothing stopping people from having a particular point of view and expressing that point of view and still running a restaurant that serves everybody everybody can go to chick fil a so I just I don't get the backlash and I don't understand why it is something that is particularly bother some to the gay rights community I mean what is they are irked by fundamentalism and I don't know why nobody is out there actively trying to deny anything to them they are just to people in the guise of chairing his point of view but it is something that certainly irks gay rights activists when it comes to Christian based themes that the just the drugs in the wrong way whether Tabi lobby or in and out burger of Chick fil a somebody will be next and what you're going to Burger King right yeah I do because you like their impossible before I think that impossible thing is a piece of magic so they would not be able to do anything that makes you say Ok Burger King I'm not going to patronize you because even though you have my favorite food in the world oh yeah I mean if they weren't hiring people or serving people because of you know the race creed you know all that stuff sure but if the c.e.o. Which is by the way Temple c.e.o. Doesn't go on forever somebody else be the c.e.o. Tomorrow they went to 3 C.E.O.'s McDonald's in a week or so of the c.e.o. Was out there saying look I think that it's among the things that are important for society as a stable home for teenagers to a living so I do think that having 2 parents is a great idea I don't think that I wouldn't stop me from going to Burger King however Nike throwing all their support behind one particular football player who does not respect the American flag or the site or the Star-Spangled Banner will stop me from buying a Nike shirt really so the cap or neck thing will stop you yeah I don't. Know not it will it will stop me from buying Nike because they are embracing him. Won't stop me from going to watch him play football he can get up on his need to be on his knee get up on his knee that's his own point of view but Nike wrapping their sponsorship to him in time the sponsorship to him that would get me to think twice about buying and I get shirt sure all right well see if someone doesn't like dogs yeah but Subaru pretty much has dogs in every one of their commercials you know you have things in ones that were just as yours are bring your dog if you want to buy a car from us so even though Subaru may may make pretty good cars oh wait they're their dog lovers therefore I hate dogs so therefore I will not buy super Yeah I think that's where it gets chancy and I don't think that you going to rally the kind of support to boycott Subaru to the point where it's going to put a dent into their financial statement but I fear anyway everyone wants to dogs everywhere everyone takes dogs over there's even dog because now that to say this Tito's Voc is for dog owners so if you like if you have a dog owner and you're choosing a vodka Tito's is going to be your vodka I just found out about his idea and I have a puppy so I just found it just learning about all this now but but but but having a segment of the population that's going to boycott the 3rd largest you know chicken sandwich franchise in the United States that is that is something that I think they need to take into consideration so again I I think it's terrible that they had to do this but I understand why they did it I don't understand why the gay rights activists are out there picking on Chick fil a I don't think is anything and what that former c.e.o. Said that is so irksome to call for boycotts and have them kicking the store out of one store that exists in the kingdom is now get lost their lease the people that had the lease for the strip mall where it was so we went out renewing your lease you people it's yeah they are although they opened it up last week to visit around the lease holder of the mall said you know what your lease is up in 6 months we're going to you know it yeah I don't like that kind of pulling out for me I coming up the latest on what's happening with respect to impeachment that kick starts again tomorrow and President Trump was made an offer on Sunday.

President of no silence no violence on how to prevent more deadly tragedies tonight it's 6 on San Diego's Evening News News Radio $600.00 KOGO Penrose News Radio $600.00 KOGO the mayor of South Bend Indiana. Judge now in 1st place in Iowa as we go into late November December you see that he's down for who predicted that then I tell you that this impeachment would have a domino effect on the Democrat side. In the campaign for the Democratic nomination . And I told you a week ago that booted judge but a judge wins this thing and here's how it works Biden is toast every single time they talk about Ukraine Biden's name comes up again it is undeniable that Biden engaged in a corrupt statement whether or not his actions were corrupt he's on television in front of the Council on Foreign Relations saying that he's not going to give the federal funds in exchange for an action that's never going to go away and he's never denounced it by the way so there's no way that you go forward with impeachment without Biden becoming toast So who is helped as Biden goes away Elizabeth Warren who is hurt by Elizabeth Warren emerging or to getting some lift from Biden going away Bernie Sanders can have 2 communists and she's the better communist so as Elizabeth Warren surges as a result of Biden evaporating Bernie Sanders just has no Lainie Kazan there's no place to go and then who is helped by that well then who's left on the Democrat side that isn't a communist who's the fresh face who's the person that's not Clinton and tied to Clinton and not to Sanders and and and Biden and Trump and who of your Democrat you don't want anymore of this ah enough already right I want somebody new I did turn the page now and who could conceivably get the nomination and that's Mayor Pete and lo and behold Sunday morning comes in the polls are out and they are Pete is now in 1st place in Iowa so I'm pleased that my political barometer is tuned quite well something else happened on Sunday morning it is almost comical but at this point everything is becoming comical the entire p. Impeachment process is a circus Speaker Pelosi on c.b.s. Is Face the Nation invited President trying to come in front of Adam Schiff Committee. And I remember hearing this and thinking but she I mean that hyperbole No Well she must be making some kind of point now she was very serious that President Trump could come right before the committee and talk speak the truth if he wants to not according that well obviously the president does not do that and obviously the president wouldn't do that there co-equal branches of government the executive branch in the legislative branch one does not testify in front of the other so the president should never do that and would need to do that but it was interesting that she laid that out there almost dangled it like a carrot and in classic Trump fashion he took the bait is what Donald Trump tweeted out in reaction quote are crazy do nothing wears us m.c.a. Infrastructure lower drug prices a much more Speaker of the house nervous Nancy Pelosi who is petrified by her radical left knowing she will soon be gone they in fake news media are her boss suggested on Sundays deface the nation so good reading Trump tweets that I testify about the phony impeachment which she also said I could do it in writing even though I did nothing wrong and don't like giving credibility to this no due process hoax I like the idea and will in order to get Congress focused again strongly considering. So almost like a real time episode of The Apprentice of the president I guess is seriously considering appearing not in person but in a written statement. Answering questions by the House Intelligence Committee so this thing is just going to continue on a lot longer than I thought time would allow it's going to get interesting as we circle around Thanksgiving and start ending heading into the holiday season because members of Congress want to get home they can't continue to pass continuing resolutions forever at some point you've got to actually have a budget for the next congressional year they're not close to that yet these trade agreements are important to Democrats States and as soon as they wrap up impeachment keep in mind how this works so the House impeaches the president right 435 members of Congress in the House of Representatives you need to 18 so if they get the 218 that was a 232 Democrats right now so they should get the 218 if they want to impeach the president they impeach the president what happens next from goes away you know Hillary Clinton is president now Mike Pence is president now compass president because after the house successfully impeach the president if they're able to get those votes the whole thing goes over to the Senate and the Senate quietly listens to the arguments by both sides on the articles of impeachment by the way while the Senate is in the process of listening to the articles of impeachment they cannot be elsewhere they can't be in Iowa they can't be New Hampshire they can't be in South Carolina so it's a fully stocked Senate resetter is in the chamber where Mitch McConnell gavels in that we are going to listen to the trial of Donald j. Trump every senator that is a senator has to be there and stay until it's done. And look at how long is it taking to draft of the oracles of the beast where we're not even at that point we're not even out of the Intelligence Committee on our way to the Judiciary Committee so you know who's a Senator Elizabeth Warren. You know is a set Bernie Sanders is a senator. Harris is a Senator Cory Booker is a senator so that they they can't be hanging out you know in New Hampshire shaking hands and saying hi to everybody they can't go to the chili cookoff they can't go down to the river in the river festival in South Carolina they can't go to Iowa and throw a around and they literally can't they can't leave Washington I mean the South like you they take a day off I mean the trial goes on so if this thing kicks into the new year there is a major time line problem for everybody that's running for president of the United States on the Democratic side who are sitting senators which gives the beyond you know who can go to New Hampshire Mayor Pete you know it's kind of New Hampshire the former governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick So what do you think that he was just sitting around you know last week and said you know what is a man ran for president in one present know he was he was taken out of a he was taken out of stuff out of the stock room and said hey we need to get somebody because if this all goes sideways it blows the screws this up for the Democrats we're not going to have any nominees are going to have some you know subside governor from somewhere that no one's ever heard of as some former senator you know and Biden is not going to get the nomination but he's toast because we're going to continue with this impeachment and by the way when it goes to the Senate 1st witness that will be called by the Republicans under God. So there's no way Biden escapes this if it exits out of the house and moves forward into the Senate and Mitch McConnell takes it up so this is a real problem for Democrats a true problem and it's going to get fun I coming up speaking of Joe Biden came out this morning saying no to Pa says it's a gateway drug and he's not in favor of federal legalization We'll talk about it that's next on The Ben Rose report Lupin rose on News Radio $600.00 KOGO Let's check in with Laura Kane to find out what's going on our freeways able pay Lou from the San Diego County Credit Union traffic center Well now we have an accident southbound on the 8 o 5 before alcohol Boulevard the right shoulders block traffic is jamming up to the 5 stays busy to 1545 minutes is your drive time 163 start to get busy now from Genesee to into Babylon park southbound 5 slows Genesee on and off.
