1
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen Junior Sunday Nights.

2
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: What's going on everybody? Fortunately, the Reds take to l today.

3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: That's why it's spring training.

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: But getting into the into the show here, there's a

5
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: problem in modern Western politics that's almost nobody really wants

6
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: to talk about. And it's not because the information isn't available,

7
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: not because the data doesn't exist, but because the topic

8
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: makes people uncomfortable. And obviously, nobody wants to talk about

9
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: uncomfortable things if they don't have to, and in modern

10
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: public life, making people uncomfortable is apparently the worst possible crime.

11
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: So entire conversations get avoided, Entire patterns of behavior get ignored,

12
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Entire ideologies get treated like radioactive material that no one

13
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: is really allowed to mention out loud, and the result

14
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: is a bizarre situation where everyone can see events happening,

15
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: but we're not allowed to talk honestly about what connects them. Now,

16
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: I know you're all sitting here like, what the hell

17
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: is this? This is so abstract, And frankly, it's abstract

18
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: because it's taken me a really long time to decide,

19
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: essentially whether or not I want to say some of

20
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that I'm about to say out loud, and

21
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: you can probably tell where I'm going with this at

22
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: this point. Let's start in Michigan. A man rammed his

23
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: vehicle into a temple, synagogue, whatever you want to call it,

24
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: a Jewish place of worship in West Bloomfield, Michigan. He

25
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: then opened fire before dying, thank God, during the confrontation.

26
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: And this synagogue includes a preschool. One hundred and forty

27
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: children and staff were inside the building. I have nephews

28
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: that go to Jewish schools, and there's not a day

29
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: or a second in the day where these schools or

30
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: synagogues are anywhere where Jews congregate is not covered by

31
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: private security. I'll put it that way. The attacker is shocked.

32
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Middle names Muhammad, I'm in Mohammad Ghazilli was a Lebanese

33
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: born natural life US citizen, reporting indicated, and again I'm

34
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: just I'm completely baffled and shocked by this. His brother, Ibrahim,

35
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: had been a HESBELA commander responsible for weapons operations. Now

36
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: you may ask yourselfself, why is anybody who's got any

37
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: family And I'm not talking like eighth cousin, like literal

38
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: brother in hesbela allowed in this country. The FBI says

39
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: the attack targeted Jewish community and it's still being investigated.

40
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Not sure what there is to investigate. A synagogue attack

41
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: on American soil during a Middle East war should get

42
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: some attention, possibly of the Department of Homeland and Security,

43
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: but they're too busy being subject to Democrat temper tantrums.

44
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: So we are now at war with an Islamic I'm

45
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: just gonna call it in his fundamental Islamic terrorist country

46
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: that exists because of terrorist attacks. And the agency that

47
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: was created after the largest terrorist attack by I know again,

48
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: it's employee all way Islamic terrorists flying planes in the building.

49
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: The organization that literally was created to protect the country

50
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: after that, Yeah, it's not being funded.

51
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 2: It's wow. We just we got to be clear about something.

52
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: When someone drives a car into a synagogue full of

53
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Jewish preschool children and opens fire like that, that's not

54
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: political argument, that's not a protest. That is Islamic terrorism.

55
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: That thank god was not a mass casualty event. But

56
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to talk about that. The circus continues

57
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: because I mean, why wouldn't there be like eight terrorist

58
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: attacks most Muslim in like two weeks. Here's another shock,

59
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Virginia ROTC shooting this week Old Dominion University gum and

60
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: open fire on an ROTC members in a classroom and

61
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: shouted again, we're all going to be shocked by this,

62
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: a lockbar before opening fire. One instructor was killed, two

63
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: cadets were injured. The shooter again, I mean, I just

64
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: feel like there's a theme here. His name is Mohammad Jala.

65
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: He had previously pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material

66
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: support to ISIS years earlier and serve time in federal prison.

67
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, why wouldn't we deport him? It's it is breathtaking,

68
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: all these people dead and injured because you know Islamophobia.

69
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: When somebody previously convicted of aiding ISIS, I know this

70
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: is This is just going to be a shock. Department

71
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security should probably be funded at this point.

72
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Like a man previously convicted of supporting ISIS walks into

73
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: a classroom training future American military offerers and opens fire.

74
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: This is ideology meeting opportunity, folks. But wait, there's more.

75
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Austin mass shooting a couple of weeks ago. Then we

76
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: go there coming open fired in a nightlife district, fired

77
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: from his vehicle, then continued shooting with a rifle.

78
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: I go, I'm just gonna blow you all way.

79
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: A Quran was actually found in his vehicle, also had

80
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: a T shirt on that said property of a law.

81
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: When investigators started finding ideological symbolism tied to global conflicts

82
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: inside of a shooter's vehicle, that's called evidence. But we're

83
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: not allowed to talk about that evidence, so I'll move on.

84
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: Oh wait, there's more. Sorry, the Gracie Mansion bomb attept where.

85
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Two fine.

86
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Individuals, one from Afghanistan, one from some other crap hole

87
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, through bombs at a protest that

88
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: everybody is calling a white supremacist protest, which again highlights

89
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: my point. The protest was because people were sick and

90
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: tired of hearing the Islamic prayer being blared through Brooklyn

91
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: every single morning at five am. And what's hysterical is

92
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Zoron Mndami, the Muslim mayor of New York. You would

93
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: think that he would, I don't know, like as a

94
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: Muslim and somebody who's probably experienced Islamophobia at some point

95
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: in his life, you would think he would want to

96
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: denounce the people chucking bombs in the crowds and yelling

97
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Ala wakbar. But no, it's the crowd's fault. Oh yeah,

98
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: I forgot the Bondi Beach attack in Sydney, Australia, where

99
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: two guys named Mohammed probably decided to shoot up, like

100
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: literally shoot into a crowd of hundreds of Jewish people.

101
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Six people were killed five minutes, six dead because one

102
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: determined an individual decided to just kill a bunch of

103
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: JeOS because Muslim. Now, let's just step back for a minute.

104
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: When you zoom out and look at global data, and

105
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: I know, like we live in clown world. Facts and

106
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: data don't matter no matter how many people are killed

107
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: by suicide, bombs or shootings, something really important becomes clear

108
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: and it's obvious stuff that we're just not allowed to

109
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: talk about. The numbers are just staggering here. Over the

110
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: time period from nineteen seventy nine to twenty twenty four,

111
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: more than sixty six thousand Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide. Sixty

112
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: six thousand those attacks have killed a quarter of a

113
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: million people, two hundred and fifty thousand human beings.

114
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 3: I just.

115
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble finding like the statistics about the Buddhists

116
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: that are murdering two hundred and fifty thousand innocent people

117
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: and yelling like praise Buddha as they're doing it. More

118
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: than eighty four percent of the attacks. Of those attacks

119
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: have happened after twenty thirteen, not the Cold War, not

120
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: the nineties, the last decade, Taliban, isis, Bocahurram, al Shabab,

121
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: al Qaeda. Those five organizations alone account for well over

122
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand deaths worldwide. That is not random violence.

123
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: That is a global ideological insurgency. And here's another fact

124
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: that makes the data clear. And again it's an extremely

125
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: extremely uh how do I put this uncomfortable fact? Literally

126
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: all of these people Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria. But if

127
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: you say this stuff out loud, you're called Islamophobic. When

128
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: somebody tells you that, like one group of people over

129
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: a forty year span has killed two hundred and fifty

130
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: thousand people over like what a thirty or forty year period?

131
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Is that a phobia or is that a rational fear?

132
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: And like all stuff that's crazy, it doesn't stay contained.

133
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: Ideas travel radicalization spreads and occasionally that ideology produces these

134
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: lone lunatics thousands of miles away, I mean, nowhere safe.

135
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: It's been a classroom, a synagogue, a nightclub, a church,

136
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: a subway, a shopping center. These are not abstract numbers.

137
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: These are warning signals that we continue to ignore. Sixty

138
00:10:53,360 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: six thousand attacks, two hundred and fifty thousand people dead.

139
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: These are not opinions. This is data. These are facts,

140
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: and once again, ignoring data is getting people killed. It's denial.

141
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: Denial has never solved a problem or stopped a threat

142
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: in the history of threats, problems, or denial. Recognizing reality,

143
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: no matter how uncomfortable it is, is always the first step.

144
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: So if you're taking a look around and wondering, you know,

145
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: say it out loud to yourself. Hey self, I'm noticing

146
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people named Mohammed. I'm noticing a lot

147
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: of people yelling a lot of walckbar as they're about

148
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: to try to kill or kill a bunch of random

149
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: people for absolutely no reason.

150
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: So let the slings come, let the arrows come. Like

151
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: I don't care.

152
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm done noticing things and not saying it out loud,

153
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: And I really really hope that you do too, because

154
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: this is not getting better. In fact, Islamic terrorism is

155
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: getting worse. And I think emboldening these people, especially here

156
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: in the United States, is not going to solve the problem.

157
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: I think coming out loud, coming out and saying out loud, yeah,

158
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: this is a problem. I'm afraid of this because they

159
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,359
Speaker 1: keep killing people, not because I'm racist, not because I'm Islamophobic,

160
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: but because they keep stacking bodies anyway, phones are open.

161
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: That's what I think. I want to know what you think.

162
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: Seven four nine seven The Big One. Mike Allen Junior,

163
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: Sunday Night on News Radio seven hundred WLW. Hey, we're

164
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: back News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior, Sunday Night.

165
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: We are well, we're talking about really uncomfortable stuff tonight,

166
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: and that is the.

167
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we could just call it heat

168
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: to do. This explosion of.

169
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Islamic extremist terrorism that has happened in the last couple

170
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: of weeks since Operation Epic Fury clipped the biggest Islamic

171
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: terrorist the world has ever seen, Ali Hamani. And I'm

172
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: just like asking the uncomfortable questions here, which is, at

173
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: what point, like, at what point do we say, like

174
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: this is a massive problem. Like at what point are

175
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: we allowed to say out loud, like all right, Like

176
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I keep hearing the whining and complaining about Islamophobia. But

177
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, like there's been like four or

178
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: five terrorist attacks by people yelling a lot of walk

179
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: bar I mean, like a winner we allowed to notice?

180
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, when when is something a phobia and when

181
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: has it become just an actual like legit fear because

182
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: phobia implies like irrational like phobia implies like you know,

183
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I have a rachnophobia. I'm irrationally scared of spiders. I'm

184
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: not I think they're stupid and harmless. But are you,

185
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, are you afraid to go in public?

186
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: Now?

187
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: Like would you go to a Bengals game in this climate?

188
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: Would you? Second guess?

189
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: It?

190
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Is that a phobia? I mean truly, like honestly, like

191
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: by their definition, that is Islamic phobic. And I've noticed

192
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: something like every single time something like this happened. The

193
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: only exception I can come up with is like is

194
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Every single time, whether it's the Charlie

195
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Hedbow massacre in France, whether it's the Nie attacks in France,

196
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: were like literally an entire city was just overrun by

197
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: animals with AK forty seven's murdering people, Like, at what

198
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: point are we allowed to say out loud like this

199
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: is scary and I'm I'm not saying. For example, I

200
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: make the joke like you can't find a moderate Democrat

201
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: with a search warrant, Like I say that, and every

202
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: single night at eight o'clock, I have a moderate Democrat

203
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: on Patrick Reagan. We disagree on everything, but he's just

204
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: an old school Democrat. I would say he and I

205
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: agreed on more than we disagree on. But I guess

206
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: my question becomes the question becomes like, so, for example,

207
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm an Irish Catholic. If you know, we have our

208
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: feelings about abortion. And it's funny about the Irish and

209
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: we were one of the first countries and I don't

210
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: think there's a more Catholic country outside of Italy then Ireland.

211
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Like we accepted gay When I say we, I mean

212
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Ireland accepted gay marriage like in the eighties, but they

213
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: will never accept abortion. It's a cultural thing. It's a

214
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: Catholic that like, they're very liberal people, but when it

215
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: comes to certain things, they're just not going to budge

216
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: on it. So let's say that like in a two

217
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: week period there was like four bombings of abortion clinics

218
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: by Catholics. I would feel the need to come on

219
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: the radio and say, hey, I pushed back against this.

220
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: This is not this is not a definite you know,

221
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: a definitional thing about my religion or my people. This

222
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: is an abhorrent and disgusting and there needs to be reform. Obviously,

223
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: us as Irish Catholics are doing something wrong right, or

224
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: as Catholics in general, we're doing something wrong here. I

225
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: challenge you to find the and I'm not saying they

226
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: don't exist, but I'm saying they don't talk. I challenge

227
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: you to find the moderate Muslim on TV saying this

228
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: is an abomination, we don't believe, like it doesn't happen,

229
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: And then those same people turn around and complain about Islamophobia.

230
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Do something about it. Police your freaking community.

231
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: How about that.

232
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: Snitch on the people that are trying to throw bombs

233
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: into crowd? Like where are you? Are you afraid?

234
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 3: Like?

235
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: What is it?

236
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: I just I mean it, I can't I would be embarrassed.

237
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: I would be It's unreal. Like if random people who

238
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: praise the who praised the worship the same way I did,

239
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: praise the same God as me, subscribe to the same

240
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: tenets as me, looked like me, had the same last name,

241
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: sounding like me, because all the Irish names semi sound

242
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: the same. But the point is, I would feel the

243
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: need to go, hey, that's not me, that's not us.

244
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: Why doesn't that happen where I'm not saying they don't exist,

245
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: but I'm saying I haven't seen one.

246
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: Like it's amazing to me.

247
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: Now.

248
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: I look, I don't know the guy we're talking about.

249
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: The protest outside a Zora Mondamie's house, which, by the way,

250
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: we elected a mayor whose wife was literally like cheering

251
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: October seventh on likely can we back that up here?

252
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: But but I I just these people are having a protest.

253
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you've seen it all over YouTube, You've seen

254
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: it on Twitter, you can look it up. Imagine if

255
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: I went to Saudi Arabia, or I went to Jordan,

256
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: or I went to some fundamentally Islamic country, and I said,

257
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: you know what, every single morning at five am, I'm

258
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: just gonna blare the Lord's Prayer throughout the entire neighborhood.

259
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: I would expect that would piss some people off, like

260
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: I would probably like, eh, it's probably not a good idea.

261
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: This is extremely disrespectful to the people who live here.

262
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: And also like just people are trying to sleep. But

263
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: it's it's islamophobic for people to say, like are you

264
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna assimilate or not? Like that's the beauty of our constitution,

265
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: it's the beauty of America. Is like, you can come

266
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: here and praise a piece of cheese, nobody cares. But

267
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: when your when your faith, when your faith starts to

268
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: impose on people, is that assimilating? I mean truly, Like

269
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: I ask guys, is that assimilating? Like at what point?

270
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: At what points are we allowed to just say some

271
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: of this stuff out loud? I just how many people

272
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: have to die for political correctness. I mean, it's just amazing,

273
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the fact, to the policy question.

274
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security is being their funding is

275
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: being held up by Democrats while we are at war

276
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: with the largest Islamic terrorist regime the world has ever seen,

277
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: all the while terror, Islamic terrorist attacks are happening all

278
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: over the country. I mean, it's it's you cannot make

279
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: this up and I'm just gonna be completely honest with you.

280
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Like there's I I said, and I said this years

281
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: ago before you know, pre twenty sixteen, pre twenty thirteen, ish,

282
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, ish, I I floated between the parties. You know,

283
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed to say, well, I am ashamed, but

284
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: back then, I wasn't ashamed to say I've voted for

285
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: Barack Obama in two thousand and eight. Come twenty twenty twelve,

286
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: I was done because the guy was just full of crap.

287
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: But that's a different show.

288
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, there's certain things that Democrats have done

289
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: or didn't do that are just completely unforgivable to me,

290
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: Like things where I'm like, you are so irresponsible that

291
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: I will never I'll just sit down an election before

292
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: I ever vote for a Democrat again.

293
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: And this is one of them.

294
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: Like how on earth can I expect like we pay

295
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: taxes for all this crap, right, Like like we pay

296
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: for example, USAID. Think of like all of the stuff

297
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: that we paid for that Doge found that we all

298
00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: were just like oh my god, like holy crap, like

299
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: like what was it? Sesame Street and Afghanistan. But you're

300
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: not going to the literal the only reason that I

301
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: pay taxes, And I'm not one of these people that

302
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: says like, oh, taxes are illegal and all that kind

303
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: of stuff. But like the literally because the what benefit

304
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: do I get. I don't get food stamps, I don't

305
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: get any of that kind of stuff, like other than

306
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: use of like public utilities and stuff like that. But

307
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: the reality is, like I pay taxes, and most of

308
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: the people listening pay taxes for the government to keep

309
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: us safe. And yet here we are, like during a war,

310
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: during a period of NonStop terror attacks, during a period

311
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: when vigilance matters more than ever, Congress not Congress Democrats,

312
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: are fighting overfunding. Like this is the part where the

313
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: American voting public should be asking a really simple question.

314
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: Why is homeland security a political bargaining chip, Like why

315
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: is the agency responsible for protecting Americans against terrorist attack

316
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: while we're at war with the biggest terrorist regime the

317
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: world has ever seen. Why is that car caught in

318
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: this gridlock? It's it's just it's breathtating. It's just breathtaking,

319
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: like like IED's in Manhattan, and Congress is debating whether

320
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: DHS deserves funding, Like it's comical cars being driven into

321
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Jewish synagogues with hundreds of children in them and people

322
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: getting out and opening up with guns, yelling a lot

323
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: of lock bar and we're not funding DHS. It's just

324
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: it's unfreaking believable, Like it is just you think you

325
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: hit the bottom and you never do. I don't know,

326
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just you have a synagogue attack

327
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, the rot shooting, students in your student are

328
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: atc students being shot in Virginia, a mass shooting in Austin,

329
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: an attempted bombing outside the Mayor's residence in New York.

330
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: Two dudes with rifles just opening up on Jewish crowds

331
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of Australia, different suspects, different circumstances, same motivation.

332
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: At what point, I mean truly, like I mean this

333
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: like wholeheartedly. At what point are we allowed to just

334
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: call this what it is? I'm sorry, like people can

335
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: be offended by this, and honestly I don't care. I'm

336
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: sick and tired of holding my tongue on this. Like

337
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: at some point the West has to make a decision

338
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: like are we going to be are we are we

339
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: even able to be tolerant? Do these people have any

340
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: desire to assimilate into the country they're living in. Like,

341
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: do some math, folks. I'm just gonna defit this as math.

342
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: Like fifteen percent of Europe will be is Muslim in

343
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: like twenty years. There's a reason why. Like, for God's sake,

344
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: the IRA the Irish Republican Army. You haven't heard that

345
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: in a while. The Irish Republican Army is like getting

346
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: worked up again and putting out videos over migration into Ireland.

347
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: Like and that's the thing.

348
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: Like you look around like everywhere, like you see brown people,

349
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: seeks Asians, you know, all these different folks, like they

350
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: look a certain way. But after a generation or two,

351
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: it's like like, yeah, you're just American man like. But

352
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: there's one group of people that that doesn't happen with

353
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: Why because they don't want to.

354
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm gonna catch hell for this. Anyway.

355
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: We need to go to the phone so I can

356
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: stop talking and digging my hole deeper. Uh, let's talk

357
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: to Jim and Amelia.

358
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: Hate Jim. What's happening, brother, you're on the big one.

359
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: Hey, Mike, you guys you covered it all, could you

360
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: hear me?

361
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 3: Okay?

362
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, got you buddy, what's up?

363
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 4: I was gonna say when when President Trump at the

364
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: State of the Young Negress said who's gonna stand up

365
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 4: for American citizens? And nobody stood up on the left side,

366
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: that that, for me, sir, is was the golden ticket

367
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: to like, oh my god, nobody.

368
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: Jim Jim he is so he is so good at

369
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: baiting people into reactions that show exactly who they are,

370
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: isn't he?

371
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 4: Yes? And the fact is like, see doesn't come on

372
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 4: and say, hey, Muslim people, just don't don't mess it

373
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 4: to anybody. I don't understand why these mudgin people don't

374
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 4: stand out for nonviolence.

375
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim Jim, thanks a lot for the call, man,

376
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it.

377
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: Brother.

378
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I got And I've I've made

379
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: this point before in the in the few times I

380
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: flirted with this topic. The good thing about Catholicism is

381
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: a like, we're awesome, but b we elect a leader, right,

382
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: not through like quote unquote direct democracy or even you know,

383
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: representative kind of, but there's a body, right, there's the

384
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: people that represent the American interests in American Catholics. There's

385
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: Irish Catholic people. There there's you know, guys from literally

386
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: every country Africa. Like that's something it always I didn't

387
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: realize until recently was how many Catholics are actually you know,

388
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: African native Africans are Catholic. And we have the ability

389
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: for this, like one person to quote unquote speak for

390
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: us now the vote before this one I think was

391
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: a legitimate communist and I hate that I claim him,

392
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: but whatever, but I we have this like body that

393
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: speaks for us so to speak and says like, no,

394
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: we condemn this. These are our values we value. And

395
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: that's the thing about Catholics, you can't They're not fair

396
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: weather life people. They hate the death penalty as much

397
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: as they hate or we I mean, I got my

398
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: feelings about death penalty about it's not double ed or

399
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: it's not it's not it cuts both ways. So I

400
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: mean there is that aspect. But then a part of you,

401
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean You've got to ask yourself like why, like

402
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: where where where are the videos on Twitter of people

403
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: saying like, hey, I'm I'm a regular Muslim dude, I

404
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: go to the mosque whenever their Sabbath Day is whatever

405
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: the hell they want to call it, Like this ain't us,

406
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: and I'm calling my I'm asking my community to start

407
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: policing itself. And I'm sorry, but like, through the power

408
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: of deductive reasoning, you say to yourselfself, okay, Like it

409
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of them do not want to

410
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: assimilate into American society. There's all of these really violent

411
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: acts that have been taking place in the last three

412
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: weeks that are done in the name of jihad. Where

413
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: where are you? Why are you not condemning this? And

414
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: through deductive reasoning, you did it that they may not

415
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. It may not be that

416
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: they're like supporting it, but yeah, whatever, some lunatic is

417
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: like waving the flag of my faith and using doing

418
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: it under you know, the ability to murder innocent people,

419
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: Like I would. I would feel the need to go like, hey,

420
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: that's not I. They Yes, they may be wearing that flag,

421
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: but that's not us. You don't hear that and never do.

422
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry if that pisses awful lot of people.

423
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: It's just reality. And as one of my favorite phrases

424
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: on this show other than it's shocking but it's not surprising,

425
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: is reality will always crash the party. It will always

426
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: show up invited uninvited reality will show up and it

427
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: will blow up every narrative that is trying to be

428
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: spun at you. So my job is to tell you, like, no,

429
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, what you're seeing based or what you're

430
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: thinking based on what you're seeing. You're not crazy, You're

431
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: not it's happening in front of your face. Anyway, we're

432
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: up against the break coming up at eight o'clock. As always,

433
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to our resident Democrat Patrick Reagan

434
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: about the fact that DHS is still shut down. Also

435
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: the circus funding over the Save Act. John Thune is

436
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: in a bad spot man. And every time I think

437
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: about whether or not the Republicans should get rid of

438
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: the filibuster to pass the Save Act, I had come

439
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: up with a different answer, and truth be told, I

440
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: don't know the answer. We're going to talk to Patrick

441
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: about that also, and then some of the polling. There's

442
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: been some new polling coming out about the midterms, specifically

443
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: to Ohio and some of the numbers on the Ohio

444
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: goob monatorial race. Mike Allen Junior on news Radio seven

445
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: hundred wlw OUR twenty. Everything going on in the world,

446
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: the fact that it's DHS is not being funded. And

447
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: I kept repeating over and over again because maybe if

448
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I say it, it'll make sense. The organization that was

449
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: founded after the large Islamic terrorist attack on planet Earth

450
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: is not being funded as the United States is at

451
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: war with the largest Islamic terrorist regime that the Earth

452
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: has ever seen. I all new Lows, all new Lows.

453
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't give a crap what your political aims are.

454
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: That is completely inexcusable, and it's why I will never

455
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: vote for a Democrat again. Somebody who will vote for

456
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: a Democrat again, I can promise you is my friend.

457
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: You were for an out friend, Patrick Reagan, Patrick, how

458
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: the hell are you my friend?

459
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: It's interesting that you mentioned Scarlatto's in the lead up.

460
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: You know the owners of Scarlatto's and their dear friends

461
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: of mine. I absolutely get over to the West Side

462
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: and grab a pie.

463
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

464
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: I may or may not know them too. Man, they're

465
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: all elder folks, we all we all flock together. Honestly though,

466
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: I will put it up again, it's one of those

467
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: like Deep Track pizza joints.

468
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: I'll put it up against any in the city. But anyway, Patrick,

469
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: don't you also.

470
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: Need to go to Putts's to really round out the

471
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: full West.

472
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: I love puts this for ice cream, but if you

473
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: really want a West Side like Staple. Uh, they got

474
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: ice cream, but it's not what they're known for. Man,

475
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: mister Jean's doghouse the best hot dog. I'll put it

476
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: up against hot dogs in Chicago any day.

477
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: Man, whoa that?

478
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to call pritzgro on that one of

479
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: the whole flame Dude.

480
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna need to invest in some prilo sects. Geez.

481
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, let's let's this DHS thing. Okay, so

482
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: let me let me back this up here. There's confusion,

483
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: because even I was confused. Is the government isn't shut down.

484
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: DHS is just not being funded, but the government may

485
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: shut down because of the Save Act?

486
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: Like, what the hell is going on? Patrick?

487
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: Well, it's a question. You know, we're in this kind

488
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: of continuing resolution cycle where they'll do these temporary stop

489
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: gap measures keep the government open, and then normally there

490
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: comes up a controversial piece of legislation, whether it's a

491
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: Save Actor, who knows what other bills are going to

492
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: be drafted, and usually one or two senators want to

493
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: hold back government funding unless they get a vote on

494
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: set controversial bill. So and right now, a lot of

495
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: the issue with DHS is there's group Democratic senators that

496
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: don't do not want to see ICE funded, and Ice

497
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: obviously is part of DHS. So the question is do

498
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: you do a standalone bill to fund all butt ice

499
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: of DHS or do you fund the entire thing? Because

500
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: if Democratic Senators vote for the funding bill that includes

501
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: funding for ice, then that's politically not great with the base.

502
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: At the same time, however, if you if you don't

503
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: vote for it and then you hold things out, you

504
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: then have what we're seeing at some of the airports,

505
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 3: hours long delays. This is either way. The options are

506
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: not free.

507
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: No, no, And that's the thing, Patrick, is.

508
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: It's a tricky political dance. It's a very tricky political dance.

509
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you and I like, I feel like kind

510
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: of what sort of bonded us from jump over politics

511
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: was that there is always with both parties, there's this

512
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: massive disconnect between the establishment quote unquote. People throw that

513
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: phrase around in the base and I just I just

514
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: find it.

515
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: It just blows me away.

516
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: I guess that that you have something like the Save

517
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: Act where eighty seven percent of the country is behind it.

518
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: A Democrat's like, wow, we finally agree on something, like

519
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: both sides agree on something. I don't a, I don't

520
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: understand why it's being held up, and be like I

521
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: I can't think of a person in America right now

522
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: that I'd rather be less than John Thune. I mean,

523
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: you talk about an impossible situation.

524
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: The other thing with the Save Act, it's not just

525
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: Democrats that are holding this up. It's actually a couple

526
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: of Republicans too, right. You know, as a Democrat, I'm

527
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: fine with some form of voter identification. Most people are.

528
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: The question is what qualifies as the ID, and that

529
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 3: is where the debate occurs between both sides. In Ohio,

530
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: for instance, we used to have somewhat generous voter ID laws.

531
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: You could maybe take a utility bill, you could take

532
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 3: some other identification because let's say your license has expired,

533
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: but in Ohio you get a six month grace period

534
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 3: to renew your license, or sometimes you do fall through

535
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: the cracks. I remember one time I had to take

536
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: a power bill in to prove as identification to vote

537
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 3: because my own license had been expired. I hadn't gone

538
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: to renew it yet, so the question is the scope

539
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 3: of identification. I don't think it's necessarily that people that

540
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 3: there's such a debate on whether people need to show identification.

541
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: It's the kind of identification. And what I would encourage.

542
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 3: I know that there's a lot of people trying to

543
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: push the Save Act. What I would encourage is this,

544
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: And I think this is a good test for really

545
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: any piece of legislation. Would you trust the other party

546
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: enforcing it? For instance, to Save Act would require states

547
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 3: to turn over large portions of their voter roles to

548
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security, And right now, I know

549
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: Republicans want that because Trump is in office. But to

550
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 3: those Republicans that want it, my question is, let's say

551
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: we get a president AOC a President Newsom in twenty

552
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: twenty nine, do you want them having access to those

553
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 3: voter roles? So maybe we might want to put the

554
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: brakes on some of this stuff because that is a

555
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: large amount of federal intervention in elections.

556
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Patrick.

557
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: I think it was one of these things where it

558
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: was like I just did the dumb thing and just

559
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: read the highlights and all that kind of stuff, and

560
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, wait a minute, there's more to this.

561
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 5: Now.

562
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: The question I can't seem to figure out. And if

563
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: you don't know, it's fine. I just is this about

564
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: Because I hear one side talking about ID that's presented

565
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: on election day, and then I hear another side talking

566
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: about ID that is presented when you register to vote.

567
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: I feel like Republicans are saying this is about proving

568
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: citizenship when you register, and Democrats are saying no, no, no, no,

569
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: this is proving citizenship every single time you vote. Now,

570
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: I just went and got cause I'm flying out suit

571
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: and God help God to help Congress if I got

572
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: to sit in line for five hours and miss my flight,

573
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: but I got it. I went and got one of

574
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: the real IDs. Right now, I'm sitting here thinking, okay,

575
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: social Security, you know the things that I have to

576
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: do to provide to get a quote unquote real ID,

577
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: the federally compliant real idea.

578
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: I've just proved my citizenship. Does that make sense?

579
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: So I guess my question is is this about proving

580
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: citizenship at registration point or is it like on the

581
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: day of voting?

582
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: If that makes sense?

583
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: Well, and there are two there have been different versions

584
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 3: of this bill that go around. Some are just proving

585
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: citizenship when you register to vote. Some are proving citizenship

586
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: on the day that you vote. So this goes back

587
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: and forth, and some of the requirements of proving citizen

588
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: and ship even when you go register to vote or

589
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: on the day of Only half of Americans have a passport. Yeah,

590
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: getting the real idea.

591
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: Not exactly easy, Patrick, Really.

592
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, only only half of Americans. And I wouldn't be

593
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 3: surprised if those numbers were slightly generous. Yeah, I mean,

594
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: I to be honest, I think some of what this

595
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: comes down to is the Republicans know they're going to

596
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: probably lose the House's fall, and they tried to draw

597
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 3: some extra seats that backfired, and it looks like Democrats

598
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: are probably going to net a couple extra seats in

599
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: the redistricting fights. So now it's do we go into

600
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: the election laws? And these are things that states have

601
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: been doing for a while and now they're trying to

602
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: do on a nationwide scale. It's not going to pass, though,

603
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 3: because you can't get to sixty in the Senate right now,

604
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: and I don't I know, Cornin looks like he's waffling

605
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: a little bit on the Yeah.

606
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: I am so. I'm not to cut you off, but

607
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: I am so. I mean, look, I went hard on

608
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy. People know my feelings about Mitch McConnell. This

609
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: dude is in an impossible situation, and I guess based

610
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: on that impossible situation, my question then is you and

611
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: you just mentioned I said I was confused, and you

612
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: said you're confused because there's multiple versions of.

613
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 2: This bill going and forth.

614
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, back and forth.

615
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: So my question then becomes, at what point? Because I

616
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: feel like this is something that even you know, Democrats

617
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: in there, you know, heel digging when it comes to

618
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Why are we not just adjusting this thing?

619
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, Democrats they want to get they get wor

620
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: worked up about. And I think it would screw Republicans

621
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: with the women changing their names when they're married, because

622
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: it's more likely the not a married woman is is

623
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: going to vote on the Republican side. It just feels

624
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: like this is this shouldn't be a hard fix when

625
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: it comes to compromise, but yet it's still the same

626
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: two versions of the bill for the last month. I mean,

627
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: what the hell are we doing?

628
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: Well? Because there are two different Republican versions of it there,

629
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 3: and there were Republicans even divide on what to do

630
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 3: with some of these election laws.

631
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: Is that's the one that's going to pass? You know

632
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

633
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 3: Well, and the thing is, you can't get to sixty

634
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 3: in the Senate on this. I don't see any Democrats

635
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 3: under any circumstance, maybe a very very limited bill.

636
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 2: Why would they ignore? Are there based so much? Patrick?

637
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: I don't get it?

638
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: Well. But at the same time, this is a problem,

639
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 3: and this is a solution in search of a problem.

640
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, for all this talk about alleged rampant voter fraud,

641
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: the country elected Trump in sixteen, and then Biden in

642
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: twenty and then Trump in twenty twenty four. So it's

643
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 3: based in this assumption that Democrats win only when we cheat.

644
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: And if we are that good at cheating, how come

645
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: we couldn't get Hillary in I mean the election that

646
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 3: the country elected a Republican and then a Democrat and

647
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 3: then a Republican, and it looks like it's going to

648
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: be a democratic mid term.

649
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: If you look at the way that our the schizophrenic

650
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: nature of our society, that's actually sort of a indicate.

651
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that makes sense, you know, to need to

652
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: break neck change the way we have.

653
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, right, right exactly. The country

654
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 3: is pretty evenly divided. There are very few swing voters left.

655
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 3: Most states are pretty well predetermined, Most congressional districts are

656
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 3: pretty well predetermined. So these very close election results where

657
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 3: now we're talking about, oh, we're flying flying in ballots

658
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: in the dead of night, and these like almost like

659
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: a Tom Clancy novel kind of scenarios. It's not this

660
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: wild conspiracy. The reason why we're having these very razorsin

661
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 3: elections decided by a few votes is because the country

662
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: is very closely divided, and people increasingly live in neighborhoods

663
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 3: and associate with people that only agree with them. So

664
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 3: the thought that someone might have a different perspective is

665
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 3: a little It's just something that doesn't cross most people's

666
00:41:59,320 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: minds these days.

667
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: This is so so I don't mean to cut you off.

668
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: It is just when you said that, we don't even

669
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: not only like do we not talk to each other,

670
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: we won't even live near each other like Jesus.

671
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: Instance, think my precinct in the city of Cincinnati voted

672
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 3: over ninety percent for Joe Biden for Kamala Harris for

673
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton. There are precincts in Hamilton County that did

674
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 3: the exact same thing for Donald Trump. We live in

675
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 3: bubbles these days.

676
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: I feel like it wasn't like that before.

677
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, like, for example, Hamilton County was a

678
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: a bastion for Republican politics for decades. I just, man,

679
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: this this is insane. But let's let's get to something concrete.

680
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: Because we do this nebulous stuff and it's fun, but whatever,

681
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: let's so this this holding up the funding on TSA.

682
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: You and I always talk about how when it starts

683
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: to actually affect somebody's life, and we can maybe use

684
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: this to segue into some of the mid term stuff.

685
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: But is there any I mean, normally there's good messaging

686
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to shutdowns. Both parties try like hell

687
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: to it on the other it doesn't feel like that's

688
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: happening here. I mean, what do you think as far

689
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: as the TSA funding and the lines and the flights

690
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: and all that.

691
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: So I'm sorry the connection was bad for a minute.

692
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 3: Could you repeat that?

693
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I'm just trying to figure out. So

694
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the midterms here in a second.

695
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: I think a good way to segue to that is

696
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: to go back to the TSA lines. You and I

697
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: always talk about how when politics really starts to affect

698
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: people's like everyday life, like waiting five hours in line

699
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: with a screaming baby or whatever, that's when you remember.

700
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: That's what you remember when it comes to election time.

701
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: Both parties when there's a shutdown do their best to

702
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: message and blame the other side. It doesn't feel like

703
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: either one is a attempting to message here and be

704
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: winning the messaging thing.

705
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: What do you say, Well, I think the pressure point

706
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 3: is going to come down to resolving the issues at

707
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 3: the airports, because if we continue to see these four

708
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: and five hour delays, say throughout the summer, especially around

709
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 3: Labor Day week. If this continue that it's going to

710
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: be a pressure point and they will end up having

711
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 3: to cut a deal. It's just too early right now,

712
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 3: the political pressure is not there, But as the lines

713
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: continue at the airports, that will be the pressure point

714
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: that drives a deal, and it is probably going to

715
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: be a very maybe a stopgap measure until after the

716
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 3: election and then they cut some deal in the lane

717
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 3: Duck set. My prediction as to how this happens.

718
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm shaking my head so hard at that, Patrick, my

719
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: neck hurts.

720
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 3: I'm just so it is kicking the can down. It

721
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 3: is in a closely divided Congress, neither party. Actually, last

722
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 3: time a party had sixty votes was two thousand and nine,

723
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 3: and that was after an immense wave election. The Senate,

724
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 3: we just don't compromise nearly as much as we probably

725
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 3: should to find solutions. It just doesn't happen.

726
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the thing, man is and we've seen

727
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: it the last few years. You know, there's certain institutions.

728
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: I would say the Supreme Court is one of the

729
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: only ones that's maybe held up that are supposed to

730
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: be collegial, academic, cautious. And the Senate is really I

731
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: mean wow, I mean it's just this is unreal to

732
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: me that the basic function of the federal government at

733
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: the end of the day is to protect the citizens,

734
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: that we can't even do that.

735
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: I think it goes to something deeper, which is we

736
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: have a lot of deferred maintenance in our country. We

737
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: have a lot of programs that we need to update

738
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: for today's world. We have a tax structure that we

739
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: have to look at again. We have a lot of things,

740
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 3: a lot of big ticket issues that we're not dealing

741
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 3: with because we can't even handle the small stuff. And

742
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 3: I think that's the long term threat for this country,

743
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 3: in addition to our national debt, is how do we

744
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 3: start to solve problems again, How do we start to

745
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 3: really pass bills that can actually change people's lives.

746
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Patrick, we got about a minute and ten seconds,

747
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: real quick, But I want to I do want to

748
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: talk about this movement in the Ohio polling when it

749
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: comes to the midterms and the election coming up.

750
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: What do you say?

751
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 3: I think it is very interesting that vive A Ramaswami's

752
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: campaign is dumping as much money as they are.

753
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: Those ads are coming, buddy. The last couple of weeks

754
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: I've seen.

755
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: Notice they're having his wife try to humanize him and

756
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 3: get people to like him. I think the Republicans are

757
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: starting to get slightly worried here. And I will admit, uh,

758
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: last five Democrats had a statewide sweep. I was in

759
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: sixth grade. It's been a long time. But given how

760
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 3: upset the electorate is, given the swings that we have

761
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 3: seen in some of these special elections, given what we

762
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 3: saw in Virginia and New Jersey last year, Ohio might

763
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 3: surprise some people this year.

764
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: Patrick, anybody except Amy acton. This thing's a dead heat.

765
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: I just, I am. Why would you want to be

766
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: reminded of the worst time in American modern American history?

767
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: I just I can't.

768
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: And you guys make such great decisions that one I

769
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: will never understand.

770
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 3: Well, and I am. You know what I have to say,

771
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 3: is this about the COVID time. I think that was

772
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,880
