DAN: SOME HEARTBREAK IN
KINGSTON, NO DOUBT, SOME
IMPORTANT HEARINGS, AND A GUEST
TO HAS SOME REAL WASHINGTON
JUICE.
THE "DANE YORKE'S STATE OF
MIND" PROGRAM IS BROUGHT TO YOU
IN PART BY LOOKOUT RHODE ISLAND
AND TACO COMFORT SOLUTIONS.
DAN:
WELCOME ABOARD.
NICE TO HAVE YOU.
A LOT OF YOU WERE UP SOME I LATE
LAST NIGHT.
NOT AS LATE AS THE CHARTER
FLYING HOME FROM SACRAMENTO,
SOMEWHAT DESPOND IT, PROBABLY,
SS IN THE NCAA
TOURNAMENT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
ONLY ONE TEAM LEAVES MARCH
MADNESS HAPPY.
YOU KNOW THAT.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU ABOARD.
THANKS FOR TUNING IN.
YOU ARE GOING TO MEET A TERRIFIC
YOUNG PERSON.
I DON'T KNOW WE WILL BE GETTING
ANY WASHINGTON POLITICAL
INSIGHT, BUT WE WILL BE GETTING
THE LAY OF THE LAND.
YES, LEXIE WAS A LITTLE HARD ON
THIS ONE.
SHE WROTE THE RUNDOWN TONIGHT.
ARE YOU CRUSHED?
YOU AC13
WELL, OK, WE WERE ALL KIND OF
CRUSHED LAST NIGHT WATCHING URI
ALMOST, WELL, IT KINED
AWAY.
HEARTBREAK OR, OF COURSE.
HEADLINES ARE HARD TO SWALLOW.
THE TRUTH IS HARD TO BEAR, BUT
NOBODY DIED.
THIS IS SOME OF THE B ROLE, AS
WE CALL IT IN THE BUSINESS.
STANFORD ROBINSON HAVING THE
NIGHT OF HIS LIFE, 19 POINTS OFF
THE BENCH IN THE EARLY FIRST
HALF, THERE IS THE THREE-POINTER
THAT KILLED US.
THEN THE TIMEOUT AND THE
HULLABALOO ABOUT THAT.
BUT YOU CANNOT ISOLATE AND
EVALUATE THOSE SITUATIONS IN A
VACUUM.
THERE IS A
CRUSHED CROWD.
THE COACHES ALREADY COACHING AS
THEY HEAD TO THE LOCKER ROOM.
YOU KNOW, THEY DESERVE
CONGRATULATIONS.
AS DOES TC, FOR TURNING THEIR
WHOLE SEASON AROUND.
IT'S FUNNY, I CALL THE RADIO FOR
THE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
TOURNAMENT, RIGHT?
THE BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP WAS AT
6:00 AT THE RYAN CENTER AND WE
WERE OUT THERE WITH THE POSTGAME
SHOW, CONGRATULATING THIS OF
HENRY VERY QUICKLY, WE HAD TO
GET INTO THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
NEXT WE WERE WATCHING THIS GAME
CAUGHT ME BLOWING UP SOME
BALLOONS.
THE STAFF WAS GOING TO DRESS UP
THE LOCKER ROOM ONE WAY OR THE
OTHER.
THERE I AM.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT A
CELEBRATION, BUT AT LEAST THE
PLAYERS CAME BACK EARLY THIS
MORNING.
GOOD STUFF.
BY THE WAY -- OH,
THERE'S THE
AIRPORT, WHERE THEY COME IN IN
THE MORNING.
WE WILL KNOW THAT THIS IS A
FRANCHISE AND A PROGRAM THAT HAS
NOW ARRIVED, ARRIVED AGAIN, AND
PROBABLY BE A COMPETITOR FOR
QUITE SOME TIME.
ANOTHER SPORTS NOTE, BY THE WAY,
I KNOW THAT KEVIN 6 C13
BETTER AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT
THEY FOUND TOM BRADY'S JERSEY.
HOO, THANK
GOD FOR THAT.
I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN A VERY
ROUGH FEW WEEKS AT THE SUPER
BOWL -- SINCE THE SUPER BOWL AND
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE
JERSEY.
TURNS OUT SOME ALLEGEDLY
POSTURE, FROM MEXICO, POSING AS
AN INTERNATIONAL MEDIA PLAYER,
MAY HAVE LITERALLY SWIPED IT
FROM THE FLOOR OF THE LOCKER
ROOM.
MORE DETAILS ON THAT AS THEY
BECOME AVAILABLE.
ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM, FROM
WASHINGTON.
THIS IS A WORD THAT THE FBI
WON'T USE, BUT IT PENETRATES THE
HEADLINES, NO DOUBT.
"COMEY CONFIRMS FBI PROBE INTO
RUSSIAN COLLUSION," BUT HE DID
NOT USE THAT WORD.
THAT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE
MEDIA PUSHING THIS CONVERSATION
IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION.
THAT'S ISSUE NUMBER ONE.
ISSUE NUMBER TWO, THERE WAS NO
INFORMATION SUPPORTING DONALD
TRUMP US TWEET -- DONALD
TRUMP'S
TWEET ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT
WIRETAPPING.
I HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO
CONFIRM THAT THE FBI, AS A PART
OF OUR COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
MISSION, IS INVESTIGATING THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT'S EFFORTS TO
INTERFERE IN THE
2016
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
JAMES COMEY BROKE WITH NORMAL
ARTICLE TO REVEAL THAT THE
BUREAU IS LOOKING INTO RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 U.S.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
THAT INCLUDES INVESTIGATING
THE NATURE OF ANY LINKS BETWEEN
INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT, AND WHETHER THERE
WAS ANY COORDINATION BETWEEN THE
CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA'S EFFORTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LIKELY
PLAY -- PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION
TO THIS HEARING, SENDING OUT A
FLURRY OF TWEETS JUST HOURS
BEFORE IT STARTED.
CLAIMING THAT THE RUSSIAN
CONNECTION WAS MADE UP BY THE
DEMOCRATS AND THE REAL STORY IS
THE LEAKING OF CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
DA
I THINK THAT'S A BIT OF A
DODGE.
THE REAL PROBLEM IS YOU HAD A
FOREIGN ADVERSARIAL POWER
INTERFERING IN OUR ELECTION.
E ALSO REFUTED THE TWEET
CLAIMING THAT BARACK OBAMA
WIRETAPPED TRUMP TOWER DURING
THE CAMPAIGN.
PRESIDENT OBAMA COULD NOT
UNILATERALLY ORDER A WIRETAP OF
ANYONE?
NO PRESIDENT COULD.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
DOESN'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE TO
SUPPORT THAT CLAIM, EITHER.
DAN: WHAT'S GOING TO BE
INTERESTING WITH THIS IS THAT
THE INFORMATION ON -- IS REALLY
INTERESTING, COMEY IS SUGGESTING
THAT THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THIS INVESTIGATION AND THAT
THERE IS NO END TIME OR ENDGAME
FOR IT, RIGHT?
IT IS NOT NORMAL THAT THE FBI OR
ANYBODY IN AN INVESTIGATIVE
FRAMEWORK WILL ACTUALLY CONFIRM
THAT INVESTIGATION EXISTS.
BUT THE COMPELLING NATIONAL
INTEREST FORCES HIM TO DO SO.
THE COMPELLING NATIONAL INTEREST
IS TO COUGH UP SOME DIRECTION
AND HE WON'T DO SO.
THE COMPELLING NATIONAL INTEREST
HAS BEEN -- I DON'T KNOW,
SOMEWHAT ADDRESSED, BUT NOT
SATIATED HERE, RIGHT?
SO, THIS IS GOING TO BE A WHOLE
BUNCH' GOING ON.
YOU SAW IT TODAY, DEMOCRATS
REALLY KIND OF MAKING SOME
SPEECHES TO WITNESSES
, SAYING TO
THE DIRECTOR AND THE FBI
DIRECTOR, WHO COULD NOT COMMENT
ON A LOT OF THINGS.
DONALD TRUMP IS KIND OF LEFT
LIKE THIS, SPENDING MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ON A DOG ON TWEET, IS
EMBARRASSING.
WHAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT AT WHAT
-- IS WHY IT ISN'T EMBARRASSING
TO OUR PRESIDENT.
IN THE MEANTIME, HEARINGS FOR
OUR SUPREME COURT NOMINEE GO ON.
WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT
TOMORROW.
THE FORMER NOMINEE'S NAME IS
HURT A LOT DURING THE CURRENT
NOMINEE'S PROCESS.
THAT'S NORMAL WHEN IT COMES
TO
PARTISAN POLITICS.
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
BY THE WAY, CHUCK BERRY DIED
THIS WEEKEND.
DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT, CHUCK MARY?
90 YEARS OLD.
HE WAS ROCK 'N ROLL.
MADE MY CUT.
CAPITAL.
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS.
THIS IS OUR GUEST, WHO IS, YOU
KNOW, WALKING WITH SOME PRETTY
HEAVY COMPANY, THE JUNIOR
SENATOR AND THE SENIOR SENATOR
IN RHODE ISLAND.
JACK REED AND GILBERTO GRAVE
.
GILBERTO GRAVE JOINS US LIVE.
WELCOME TO THE BROADCAST.
GILBERTO: THANK YOU.
DAN: CONGRATULATIONS
ON YOUR
ACHIEVEMENTS AS A LIFE SCOUT.
HE WENT TO WASHINGTON, RECENTLY?
GILBERTO: I DID.
I CAME BACK A WEEK AGO.
IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE BEING
THERE.
DAN: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR TRIP.
GILBERTO: THE REPORT TO THE
THE BOY SCOUTS ARE REQUIRED TO
GIVE BY CONGRESS.
10 DELEGATES ARE CHOSEN ACROSS
THE NATION
.
LOCAL COUNSEL SENDS IN AN
APPLICATION OR NOMINATION, AND
THEN I FOUND OUT WHEN I WAS
ACCEPTED.
I HAD TO ACCEPT -- HAD TO ACCEPT
IT, THE EXCEPTION.
DAN: GOT TO ACCEPT THE
ACCEPTANCE.
GOT IT.
GILBERTO: IT'S QUITE A, QUITE AN
HONOR TO REPRESENT THE 2.5
MILLION YOUTH AND MILLION ADULT
LEADERS IN THE BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA.
IT WAS A LIGHT WORK, AS SOME
WERE TRYING TO SAY.
DAN: YOUR FRIENDS WOULD SUGGEST
IT'S LIKE WORKED QUESTION WHAT'S
THAT ALL ABOUT?
-- LIGHT
WORK?
WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?
[NO AUDIO]
GILBERTO:
IT'S A BIG
RESPONSIBILITY.
THAT'S HOW I TOOK IT, YEAH.
DAN: SURE.
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, YOUNG PEOPLE
TODAY WILL CHIDE ACHIEVEMENT.
RIGHT?
GUYS LIKE YOU, SERIOUS GUYS,
DOING IMPORTANT WORK, ACHIEVING
WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY IN LIFE IN
THE BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZATION,
WHICH IS NOT EASY STUFF ,A OTHER
KIDS THINK --HH -- OTHER KIDS
THINK, AHHH,
RIGHT?
GUESS WHAT, THE ADULT WORLD INTO
HER COOL.
JUST IN CASE THAT ISN'T
COMMENSURATE WITH THOSE
TEENAGERS.
BUT BEING SOMEONE WHO WORKS
SERIOUSLY IN THIS ENDEAVOR, DOES
THAT GET YOU LIVING FROM YOUR
BUDDIES?
THE GUYS WHO ARE CLOSE TO YOU,
THEY GET IT? GILBERTO:
THE
TEACHERS WERE SUPER EXCITED FOR
ME.
GETTING TO GO ON THE TRIP WAS
SUPER AMAZING.
I HAVE A MAJOR RESEARCH PROJECT
I'M DOING AND THAT WAS AN EXCUSE
FROM THAT.
IN WASHINGTON, IT'S KIND OF
CRAZY, YOU COME BACK LATE FROM
DOING THIS REPORT STUFF AND YOU
HAVE TO GET BACK IN PREP FOR THE
NEXT DAY, FOR WHAT YOU'RE
TEACHERS ARE SENDING YOU IN AN
EMAIL.
IT'S A LOT.
BUT I THINK IT'S MANAGING MY
TIME.
IT WORKS OUT.
DAN: YOU MET THAT GUY, YEAH?
GILBERTO: YEAH.
DAN: WHAT'S THAT LIKE?
GILBERTO: IT'S AN HONOR, BEING
AN URBAN YOUTH FROM PROVIDENCE.
I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD
HAVE A CHANCE TO GO TO
WASHINGTON, D.C., LET ALONE MEET
THE PRESIDENT.
I
MEAN, I DON'T REALLY LIKE TO
GIVE MY OPINION RIGHT NOW --
DAN: BUT IT FEELS LIKE YOU WANT
TO.
[LAUGHTER]
DAN: THAT'S
WHAT MOST PEOPLE SAY
WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO STEP
INTO THE WATER WHERE THEY ARE
ABOUT TO DIVE IN, BUT FEEL FREE
TO DIVE IN.
GILBERTO: MY OWN PERSONAL
OPINION ON HIS POLICIES AND
CHOICES TO THE CABINET, I DON'T
REALLY THINK --
DAN: YUNNAN THE -- YOU ARE NOT
BUYING THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION LINE, IS WHAT YOU
ARE SAYING.
GILBERTO:
YEAH, BUT IT'S AN
HONOR TO ME TO PRESIDENT, NO
MATTER WHO IT IS, AND IT'S ONE
OF THOSE THINGS WERE EVEN IF YOU
DON'T ENJOY THE PERSON AT THE
DESK, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT YOU GET TO TELL YOUR KIDS
ONE DAY, SAYING HOW A KID LIKE
ME CAN ACTUALLY GO AND SHAKE THE
HAND OF THE PRESIDENT.
DAN:
SURE, IT'S HUGE.
JUST IN CASE YOU ARE JUST TUNING
IN, GILBERT L IS ONE OF 10
SCOUTS WHO WAS CHOSEN TO HAND IN
THE NATION IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
HERE'S THE DEAL, WHEN
YOU ARE IN
YOUR UNIFORM, YOU STAY OUT OF
TROUBLE, THEN COME BACK AND
CIVILIAN CLOTHES AND YOU CAN BE
ONE OF MY CALL -- COMMENTATORS.
HIS POLITICS SOMETHING YOU ARE
INTERESTED IN?
GILBERTO: I TOOK A BIG INTEREST
IN IT GOING INTO AN AFTERSCHOOL
ORGANIZATION CALLED YOUNG
VOICES.
IT GOT ME INTO THE POLITICS
WORLD.
A LOT OF KIDS MY AGE DON'T
REALLY ENJOY IT.
I DIDN'T REALLY ENJOY IT AT
FIRST, BUT IT'S OUR FUTURE, AND
WE HAVE TO BE FOCUSED ON IT.
US YOUNG KIDS, YOUNG ADULTS
COMING UP, HAVE TO KNOW HOW THE
WORLD WORKS.
BECAUSE OF WE DON'T, IT WILL BE
EASY TO INFLUENCE UNEDUCATED
PEOPLE.
DAN: AMEN ON THAT.
WHAT TURNED YOU?
IT SOMETHING TURN YOU INTO BEING
INTERESTED?
GILBERTO: WITH LAW, MY FATHER
HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH A DUI.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKED.
IT WAS A BAD SITUATION.
WITH THAT, I
TOOK THAT AND
LEARNED MORE ABOUT HOW OUR
GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM WORKS, OUR
COURTS AND OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEMS.
HOW IT WORKS THROUGH
THE PENALTY
SYSTEMS, AND STUFF, AND THAT'S
WHAT REALLY GOT ME INTO IT.
AFTER THAT, TO QUITE A TOLL ON
THAT SIDE.
DAN: REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES HAVE
ENERGIZE YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO
THE WORLD.
GILBERTO: YEAH.
DAN: YOU MET
BOTH THE VICE
PRESIDENT AND THE PRESIDENT.
HOW MUCH TIME DID YOU SPEND WITH
THEM?
GILBERTO: 10 TO 15 MINUTES OF
TIME WITH HIM.
WE GOT TO GO INSIDE THE OVAL
OFFICE AND GIVE OUR REPORT TO
HIM.
HE LOOKED AT IT AND THEN HE
TALKED TO US ABOUT OURSELVES.
ASK US WHAT WE WANTED TO DO AND
BE IN LIFE.
GILBERTO: I'M TOLD -- DAN:
I'M
TOLD, I'VE NEVER MET THE
PRESIDENT, BUT I'M TOLD THAT HIS
BOMBAST ASIDE, ON A ONE-ON-ONE
BASIS HE'S PRETTY COOL.
YOU HANG OUT WITH.
GILBERTO: THAT'S SOMETHING I
REALIZED EARLY.
HE WAS REALLY NICE TO US.
OBVIOUSLY, WE HAD OUR SCOUT
UNIFORM ON.
THE BOY SCOUTS HAVE BEEN AROUND
FOR 107 YEARS.
KIND OF A RESPECTED
ORGANIZATION.
HE WAS VERY KIND TO US.
I KNOW THAT PRESIDENT
OBAMA DID
IT SEVEN TIMES.
DAN: WHAT IS THE REPORT?
A REPORT TO THE NATION FROM THE
BOY SCOUTS, WHAT IS IT ALL
ABOUT?
GILBERTO: HIGHLIGHTING ARE MANY
ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE YEAR 2016.
YEAR 2017 GETS THE 2016 REPORT.
SOME OF THOSE HIGHLIGHTS, 55,000
EAGLE SCOUTS IN THE YEAR 2016.
ONE OF THE LARGEST PASSES EVER.
SADLY, I WASN'T A PART OF IT,
BUT I THINK I WILL BE DAN: ON
THE 2017 LIST.
YOU ARE MOVING TOWARD -- ON THE
2017 LIST.
DAN: YOU ARE MOVING TOWARDS
EAGLE SCOUT?
YOU WORKING ON A PROJECT?
GILBERTO: IM AM.
I WANT TO RETIRE ALL OF THE
FLAGS AT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT.
DAN: SAY
THAT SLOWLY, RETIRE ALL
THE FLAGS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN QUESTION MARK
-- MEAN?
GILBERTO: MOST OF THE FLAGS HAVE
BEEN FLOWN DOWN AND ARE PRETTY
RAGGEDY IN THE SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT.
SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN CHANGED
SINCE I'VE BEEN IN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL.
IT REALLY HIT ME DURING THE
ELECTION TIME, WHERE I SAW KIDS
PROTESTING OUR ELECTION, IN A
TIME LIKE THIS THAT OUR FLAG
SHOULD AT LEAST BE SOMETHING WE
CAN LOOK AT, FOR A COLORS.
THE ONES FROM OUR SCHOOLS ARE
REALLY TORN DOWN.
I WANTED TO SWITCH IT, BUT I'M
NOT SURE IF THAT'S GOING TO GO
THROUGH.
DAN: THAT'S YOUR EAGLE SCOUT
PROJECT?
YOU WANT TO REPLACE ALL THE WAR
AMERICAN FLAGS IN THE CITY OF
PROVIDENCE SCHOOL SYSTEM?
HOW MANY FLAGS ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT QUESTION MARK HAVE YOU
IDENTIFY THEM ALL?
GILBERTO: AT LEAST 35.
DAN: WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WON'T
BE SUCCESSFUL QUESTION MARK --
WOULDN'T BE SUCCESSFUL?
GILBERTO:
THERE ARE
REQUIREMENTS, HELPING OUT AN
ORGANIZATION, CHURCH, OR GROUP
OF PEOPLE.
AND THEN YOU HAVE OFFICIAL
LEADERSHIP THROUGH IT.
THE THING IS, WITH THAT, I NEED
LEADERSHIP
AND FELLOW SCOUTS.
THE TROOP, RIGHT NOW, BEING IN
AN URBAN CITY, IT'S NOT EXCUSES,
BUT THERE'S A REASON THAT IT IS
URBAN OUTREACH AND IT'S HARD TO
GET KIDS INTO SCOUTING WHEN YOU
ARE IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT.
I DON'T HAVE THAT MANY KIDS IN
MY TRUE TO WORK WITH.
WE ARE GOING TO WORK WITHIN IT
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
GILBERTO: WHAT IS -- DAN: WHAT
DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR
SUCCESS OR LACK THEREOF IN
GETTING THE FLAGS REPLACED?
GILBERTO: HOW AM I GOING TO SHOW
LEADERSHIP TO CARRY THAT OUT?
DAN: COME ON THE SHOW EVERY DAY
UNTIL WE GET THE DAM FLAGS
REPLACED.
ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, YOU POINTED
OUT AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT
NEEDS TO BE FACT -- FIXED.
WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A LACK OF
CONFIDENCE ON GETTING THAT DONE?
GILBERTO: WHEN THE REPORT CAME
OUT, THE FOCUS CHANGED.
DAN: YOUR FOCUS?
GILBERTO: MORE ON GETTING READY
FOR THIS, MAKING SURE THAT I WAS
READY.
DAN:
MINUTIA ASIDE, I KNOW
YOU'VE GOT A LOT ON YOUR PLATE.
YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL, YOU'VE
GOT TO DELIVER THE PORT --
REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES, THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
BUT THIS EMBARRASSES
ME,
WORN-OUT AMERICAN FLAGS THAT
NEED TO BE REPLACED.
YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T, ON THAT
SHOW -- THIS SHOW AND MAKE A
TERRIFIC ANALYSIS AND THEN --
IT.
-- BEN GASSET.
-- AND THEN GAS IT.
SHE'S IT.
-- CHEESE IT.
GILBERTO: I THINK YOU BRING UP
A
GOOD POINT.
EVEN IF I CAN'T CARRY THROUGH
WITH THIS, IT JUST --
DAN: GUESS WHAT, WE ARE GOING TO
GET THE FLAGS REPLACED.
WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS
YOUNG MAN?
THAT'S IMPORTANT.
DAN: [LAUGHTER]
GILBERTO IS GOING TO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO ON
TELEVISION TO IDENTIFY
A
PROBLEM.
HE'S LIKE, THERE'S A LOT GOING
ONIS MOVING AROUND.
ONCE IT'S ON THE AIR THAT THERE
ARE 35 WORN-OUT FLAGS?
AFRAID, F --RAYED
, THEY ARE IN
BAD SHAPE.
WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON THAT ONE
TOGETHER.
YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO A POTENTIAL
PUBLIC HUE AND CRY OUT THERE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU
GROW UP?
GILBERTO: I'M A SOPHOMORE IN
HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I THINK --
DAN: THAT'S IRRESPONSIBLE OF
YOU.
BY THE TIME YOU ARE 16, YOU
SHOULD HAVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE'S
SCRIPT WRITTEN, THE WHOLE THING
SHOULD BE IN WRITING, IT SHOULD
BE ON ONE OF THESE REPORTS AND I
DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COME ON THE
SHOW WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO.
GILBERTO: I HAVE NARROWED IT
DOWN TO FOUR THINGS.
A SURGEON, LAWYER, I CONSIDER
TEACHING, I WANTED TO BE A
TEACHER IN PROVIDENCE.
AND THEN I ALSO WANTED TO LOOK
INTO REAL ESTATE.
AND MOVE AWAY FROM RHODE ISLAND.
THAT KIND OF Q'S ME FROM DOING
THAT.
DAN: YOU WANT TO MOVE AWAY FOR
THE REAL ESTATE?
GILBERTO:
I'M STILL OPEN TO
EVERYTHING.
I'M STILL YOUNG.
DAN: COMING ME ABOUT SANCHEZ,
WHERE YOU GO TO SCHOOL.
GILBERTO: I'M A SOPHOMORE AT ONE
ECO-SANCHEZ J
--UA -- JUANITO
SANCHEZ.
WE ARE DOING GREAT THINGS AT THE
SCHOOL, BUT WITH OTHER THINGS
GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU
DON'T HEAR ABOUT THEM.
DAN: WHAT DO YOU MEAN QUESTION
MARK GILBERTO: -- MEAN?
GILBERTO:
I'M IN THE BIOTECH
PROGRAM, WE GET TO DO HANDS-ON
STUFF IN THE CLASSROOM.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF
CLASSROOMS IN AMERICA ARE
LACKING NOWADAYS.
THE HANDS-ON THINGS.
THAT REALLY GETS THE KIDS HOPE
ON THE STUFF.
THROUGH A SURGEON THAT CAME IN,
IT WAS LIKE, IT'S REALLY COOL, I
WANT TO DO THAT
WHEN I GO UP.
THE HANDS-ON STUFF KEEPS THE
KIDS IN CLASS AND GOING TO
SCHOOL AREA I THINK THE SANCHEZ
IS DOING A GREAT JOB BECAUSE WE
ARE OFFERING INTERNATIONAL
STUDIES.
COMPUTER SCIENCE.
AND IN THE
COMPUTER WORLD,
EVERYTHING IS GROWING SO QUICKLY
THAT KIDS NEED TO START GETTING
INTO IT.
WITH THAT MANY OPTIONS, I'M
STUCK ON WHICH I WANT TO DO, BUT
I THINK I'M STICKING WITH I/O
TECH.
BUT YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT THESE
THINGS.
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT THESE
THINGS.
SCOUTS OF AMERICA AND WHAT IT
MEANS TO YOU.
GILBERTO: WHEN
I FIRST JOINED
SCOUTING, I WAS KIND OF FORCED
TO BUY MY LIST -- MY YOUNGER
BROTHER AND MOTHER, HE WANTED TO
JOIN AND I WASN'T THAT INTO IT
AND MY MOM DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE
TWO TRIPS TO SCHOOL.
I WAS FORCED INTO IT.
NOW MY BROTHER IS FIRST CLASS
AND LIKE SCOUTS
-- IN LIKE
SCOUTS.
IT HAS BEEN LIFE-CHANGING FOR
ME.
DAN: WHEN DID IT STOP BEING
SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD TO DO
BECAUSE OF FAMILY LOGISTICS AND
SOMETHING YOU REALLY LOVED?
WHAT HAPPENED?
GILBERTO:
I THINK IT WAS, I
THINK IT WAS WHEN I CROSSED OVER
TO THE TROOP AT MY FIRST CAMP
OUT.
GETTING OUT OF THE CITY TO CAMP.
IT WAS STILL IN RHODE ISLAND,
AND IT WAS CRAZY, I HAD NEVER
BEEN TO A CAMP IN RHODE ISLAND
BEFORE THAT AND I GOT THERE AND
I WAS LIKE, WOW, THIS IS CRAZY.
THE FIRST EAGLE SCOUT I MET WAS
A GUY NAMED ZACK, I THOUGHT
HELLO WOW, THAT'S SO COOL, I
WANT TO DO THAT.
I KEPT MEETING OTHER PEOPLE IT
WAS LIKE -- WOW, I WANT TO DO
THAT.
I HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE.
DAN: ALL RIGHT, WELL, FROM MOM
SAVING A TRIP RUNNING THE KIDS
AROUND, YOU WIND UP IN
WASHINGTON TO MEET THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
I THINK MOM MADE A GOOD CALL.
OR YOU DID.
GILBERTO: MY LITTLE BROTHER, I
GIVE THE CREDIT TO HIM.
HE'S THE ONE THAT REALLY BROUGHT
ME INTO IT.
IT'S CRAZY HOW SOMETIMES WE
MIGHT NOT WANT TO DO SOMETHING,
BUT IT CAN LEAD TO BETTER
THINGS.
DAN:
ALL RIGHT, IN SUMMARY, WE
WILL CHECK BACK WITH YOU ON A
COUPLE OF THINGS.
A, YOU MIGHT BE A POLITICAL
COMMENTATOR FOR US.
B, WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER
YOU WILL BE A SURGEON OR A REAL
ESTATE AGENT.
WE HAVE GOT SOME TIME ON THAT.
AND YOUR PROGRAM?
GILBERTO: LEADERSHIP.
DAN: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO WORK
ON?
GILBERTO: EVERYTHING.
DAN: WE ARE GOING TO GET SOME
FLAGS CHANGED IN THE CITY OF
PROVIDENCE, AREN'T WE?
GILBERTO: YES, WE ARE.
DAN: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
CONFIDENCE AT THE RIPE OLD AGE
OF 16.
DAN: LOOK, EVERYTHING'S A BUDGET
ITEM, RIGHT QUESTION MARK 35
FLAGS, WHAT DOES A FLAG L4,
LACKS? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
-- GO FOR, LEXIE, WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
THE WHOLE SYSTEM CANNOT HAVE
35
WORN-OUT FLAGS.
WE WILL WORK ON THAT.
BY THE WAY, VALUATION OF WHAT
HAPPENED IN WASHINGTON TODAY,
TOMORROW.
SEE YOU ON THE RADIO.
GOOD NIGHT.
