Speaker 1: Back on the Big One seven HUNDREDLW twelve O eight
Speaker 1: Dan Perill in for the Great American Bill Cunningham taking
Speaker 1: the day off. This is my first show of the
Speaker 1: new year, So Happy New Year to everyone who was listening.
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you that today was one
Speaker 1: of those days. I came in and I really was
Speaker 1: I don't have a guest until twelve thirty. Well, I
Speaker 1: do have a guest now, but I didn't have a
Speaker 1: guest until twelve thirty. And I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 1: you know, I just got a bunch of different things
Speaker 1: I want to talk about, and one of them was
Speaker 1: the Hamilton County prosecutors have decided that they will not
Speaker 1: pursue the death penalty against Rodney Hitton, who killed the
Speaker 1: sheriff step and he back in May of last year.
Speaker 1: So they have decided that he is going to be
Speaker 1: able to use the not guilty by reason of insanity defense.
Speaker 1: Then you've got this dude who's taken a hammer to
Speaker 1: the home of jd Vance and busting out windows, and
Speaker 1: jd Vance is saying, hey, look, you know, maybe it's
Speaker 1: a it's not a good idea if you show my
Speaker 1: house on TV all the time, and then we've got
Speaker 1: all kinds of other stuff going on, and I'm thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, you know what is going to be the
Speaker 1: main thing I'm going to talk about. And I come
Speaker 1: in and literally I hear the news on the radio
Speaker 1: and we know that af Tab Purval and the members
Speaker 1: of council are being sworn in today. And af Tab
Speaker 1: Purval comes out and says, you know what, if we're
Speaker 1: going to address crime in the city of Cincinnati, well
Speaker 1: we need more money. We got it, we got to
Speaker 1: have a tax increase. So af Tab Purval comes out
Speaker 1: and proposes an income tax increase during his second inauguration speech,
Speaker 1: which happened just a little while ago.
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking to.
Speaker 1: Myself, I don't recall this mayor running for re election
Speaker 1: and campaigning on the issue of raising taxes. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was all safety was the number one issue. And
Speaker 1: now it seems that we have a mayor who says,
Speaker 1: if we're going to have safety in the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: we're going to need more money from you, the people
Speaker 1: who earn money in the city of Cincinnati. And so
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm thinking to myself, maybe I missed this.
Speaker 1: Maybe there was a part of the campaign. I tried
Speaker 1: to follow it as best I could. I saw some
Speaker 1: of the debates on TV, you know, read articles stuff
Speaker 1: like that, and I just don't recall this. And I thought,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to call the guy who
Speaker 1: ran against Aftab. I'm gonna call Corey Bowman, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to ask him if Aftab Purval spoke openly, loudly,
Speaker 1: proudly about this, that he was all about raising the
Speaker 1: income tax in the city of Cincinnati, if we are
Speaker 1: going to get serious once and for all about addressing
Speaker 1: crime in this city. And Corey Bowman, I got myself
Speaker 1: a little worked up there. Thank you for being here,
Speaker 1: Pastor Bowman, And let me let me ask you the question.
Speaker 1: You were there, You were a part of the campaign
Speaker 1: day in and day out. You saw what f Tab
Speaker 1: Purval was putting on social media and all the rest
Speaker 1: of it. You were there with the debates and everything else.
Speaker 1: Is this a key issue? A main issue? I would
Speaker 1: think that raising taxes would be a big issue in
Speaker 1: a political campaign. Maybe I missed it, But did af
Speaker 1: Tam Purval go out and campaign on this that?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 1: My first the first thing I talked about in my
Speaker 1: inaugural address is going to be the need to raise
Speaker 1: earning taxes in the city of Cincinnai. Did that happen
Speaker 1: and did I just miss it?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: First off, Dan, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 5: Happy New Year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you know, a great American Bill, if
Speaker 4: he's listening, you know, I hope he's.
Speaker 6: Having a great day off in a good new year
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I wouldn't say as far as the campaign goes.
Speaker 4: We did have debates to where we had questions regarding
Speaker 4: a lot of different issues.
Speaker 6: And I remember in one of.
Speaker 4: The debates they did ask, you know, as far as
Speaker 4: what would be our you know, mindset as far as
Speaker 4: raising taxes go, as far as the earnings tax, And
Speaker 4: I think it's you know, should be fairly obvious that,
Speaker 4: you know, there's kind of a couple of ways of thinking.
Speaker 4: Is one, are you actually going to have practical solutions
Speaker 4: to the problems of our city, or is your solution
Speaker 4: just we just got to throw more money at it.
Speaker 4: And we've seen time and time again that, you know,
Speaker 4: whether it be with the five point two million dollars
Speaker 4: that they put as an influx into public safety this
Speaker 4: last summer in response to all the violent crime that
Speaker 4: was increasing downtown, or whether it be the Act for
Speaker 4: Sincy that was happening that got three point two million
Speaker 4: dollars out of the city budget, or whether even with
Speaker 4: the curfew centers when we put I think it was
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars into curfew centers
Speaker 4: that didn't see one teenager come through the doors. I
Speaker 4: think the question you have to ask yourself is you know,
Speaker 4: are you it's not that are you surprised that he
Speaker 4: wants to raise taxes? I think prizes is that they
Speaker 4: don't know how to manage money. They don't know how
Speaker 4: to spend it properly. And when you run on raising
Speaker 4: taxes but yet you're not spending the money that you
Speaker 4: have right now properly, that's going to basically decrease any
Speaker 4: confidence that people have in their government. We're seeing that
Speaker 4: even in Minnesota right now, people have lost all hope
Speaker 4: in the government spending their tax money wisely because of
Speaker 4: all this fraud. Well in Cincinnati, you know, I don't
Speaker 4: necessarily think it's to that extent, at least.
Speaker 5: I hope not.
Speaker 4: But a big thing is that they keep on funneling
Speaker 4: money into nonprofits, contractors, NGOs, and community initiatives that don't
Speaker 4: do anything to curb the violence or the crime in
Speaker 4: our city.
Speaker 1: So we've had all this hundreds of thousands or ten
Speaker 1: and tens of thousands and maybe even millions of dollars
Speaker 1: going out to what to fight crime, and we've had
Speaker 1: all these swings and missus. So are all these programs
Speaker 1: going to continue? Are all these things going We're going
Speaker 1: to continue doing all that plus an additional whatever the
Speaker 1: number is, point one five percent of earning sex increase.
Speaker 1: And so once we have this new pot of money,
Speaker 1: then things are really going to get serious about fighting
Speaker 1: crime in the city of Cincidata.
Speaker 2: Is that is that this as we're getting here?
Speaker 4: Well, we saw the same thing with the railroad fund. Right, Hey,
Speaker 4: you know we don't have enough money. We're going to
Speaker 4: sail the railroad and that's how we're going to fix
Speaker 4: our road. Yes, well, our potholes are just as worse
Speaker 4: as they ever were before. So now they're telling us, oh,
Speaker 4: we can't fight crime unless we have more money.
Speaker 1: We're not driving with gold right now. We're not everything
Speaker 1: as smooth as the red carpet rolling from from the
Speaker 1: West Side over to uh, you know, over to Mount Adams.
Speaker 2: That's not happening right now.
Speaker 4: Now, Now here's the thing that you got to look
Speaker 4: at from a from a practical aspect of it, from
Speaker 4: the city budget perspective. Right now, the earnings tax, last
Speaker 4: numbers I looked at, and they could be higher or
Speaker 4: lower slightly, but overall it's about sixty four percent of
Speaker 4: our city revenue comes through the earnings tax. Well, if
Speaker 4: you look at the budget going out, roughly about sixty
Speaker 4: four percent of that or high or lower, you know,
Speaker 4: depending on what you're looking at, of the city funds
Speaker 4: are going toward public safety. And so our process whenever
Speaker 4: we were running our campaign was you can't run on
Speaker 4: decreasing an earnings tax right now with the city budget
Speaker 4: and then also fund the public safety more. You have
Speaker 4: to have a plan in place to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 4: where's the money coming from. So their justification is our
Speaker 4: current earnings tax is what funds are sixty four percent
Speaker 4: of the budget going toward public safety. The only way
Speaker 4: you're going to be able to increase public safety is
Speaker 4: to increase the earnings tax. I would beg to differ
Speaker 4: with that because I think you've got to look into
Speaker 4: an extreme external external I would say a third party
Speaker 4: needs to look into an audit of how this money
Speaker 4: is being spent in the public safety and see how
Speaker 4: much of it is actually going toward administrative cost going
Speaker 4: into the these community initiatives or these things that might
Speaker 4: pick up trash or paint a door, but they don't
Speaker 4: actually fight front. And then the last thing I would
Speaker 4: say too, is that right now, we just extended the
Speaker 4: contract for an investigation into how Chief Fiji was let go.
Speaker 4: The initial number was forty thousand that went into that.
Speaker 4: Let's not forget that we're paying a settlement to Michael Washington,
Speaker 4: who in the public safety sector, who was wrongfully released
Speaker 4: as the fire chief, and now we're paying a settlement
Speaker 4: to that. Soking like there's a potential settlement or potential
Speaker 4: funds that are going into the firing of Sherman Smith,
Speaker 4: another fire officer. And then you've got this whole investigation
Speaker 4: going on with Chief Fiji, which is going to be
Speaker 4: draining more of the funds as well. All this has
Speaker 4: to do with public safety as well and officers that
Speaker 4: are being wrongly let go. So I think that we've
Speaker 4: got to look at it all as not do we
Speaker 4: need to increase earnings tax and put more of a
Speaker 4: burden on the businesses the people of Cincinnati.
Speaker 6: Let's look at how.
Speaker 4: We're spending the money now and see what actually sees results.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's not forget the eight point one million
Speaker 1: dollar settlement that is going to go to those individuals
Speaker 1: who were disobeying the legal and lawful curfew that was
Speaker 1: in place in the city of Cincinnati back during the
Speaker 1: Summer of Love in twenty twenty. So we've got apparently
Speaker 1: we've got money for that. But when it comes to
Speaker 1: public safety, you know, and I've been thinking ever since
Speaker 1: the election, Corey Bowman, I really I haven't heard much,
Speaker 1: if anything at all from the mayor. I haven't heard
Speaker 1: much of anything at all from the city manager. They
Speaker 1: won't come on this radio station. Every time we have
Speaker 1: a member of council come on, they do an interview
Speaker 1: and they talk about, well, you know what, we really
Speaker 1: we don't have great communication. We really don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on. I can't answer questions about the chief, I
Speaker 1: can't answer questions about the settlement. I can't answer questions
Speaker 1: about an eleven year old who gets killed in the
Speaker 1: West End two years after it was requested that we
Speaker 1: get lights and cameras out there so.
Speaker 2: We can see what's going on.
Speaker 1: But Corey Bowman, I'm getting ready for the show today
Speaker 1: and on my social media, up pops a video from
Speaker 1: the mayor and the city manager. And here's the issue
Speaker 1: that they're talking about on their social media. Dave hit
Speaker 1: that cut cut number two, New year, new sign, the
Speaker 1: glow up.
Speaker 2: You've all been waiting for. Let us turn the lights
Speaker 2: on Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: Ah.
Speaker 1: So you see it's a celebration of the new sign
Speaker 1: out there on the convention Center. So they don't want
Speaker 1: to come and answer questions about all these other issues
Speaker 1: that's going on, but we got the new sign out there.
Speaker 1: So that is the thing I think that Corey Bowman
Speaker 1: that they would like us all to be focused on,
Speaker 1: is that there's a new sign in the city of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati that welcomes people to our town. Because as we know,
Speaker 1: everything is perfectly fine in the city of Cincinnati, perfectly safe,
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about, Come on down, have a great time,
Speaker 1: and the mayor and the city manager are all about it.
Speaker 4: And what I would say with this is that you know,
Speaker 4: this is an election year for me, This isn't a
Speaker 4: city election year. These are people that are getting sworn
Speaker 4: in because and we have to respect the results of
Speaker 4: the election. You know every person who voted, but I
Speaker 4: just you know, what I would push is that when
Speaker 4: I talk to people on the streets, but more personally,
Speaker 4: for me, when I talk to the family members that
Speaker 4: are part of my church that lost a granddaughter.
Speaker 6: Over the last week.
Speaker 5: When I stood in.
Speaker 4: Laurel Park at midnight and talking bridging the gap between
Speaker 4: cops that were there to protect the family and the
Speaker 4: family members on the street, I realized that we have
Speaker 4: to come together as a city and address real issues.
Speaker 4: We have to make this public safety a number one priority.
Speaker 4: It's not about militarizing, it's about spending the money properly.
Speaker 4: It's also and I want to bring this to light
Speaker 4: as well. Right now, we're twenty percent understaffed with the
Speaker 4: police officers. It doesn't matter what organization you're a part of.
Speaker 4: If you're twenty percent understaffed, you're going to lack in
Speaker 4: productivity as matter if it's a factory or a school
Speaker 4: or whatever. You've got police that are drowning because there
Speaker 4: is too much work for the eighty percent of staff
Speaker 4: members that are there well, because of things.
Speaker 6: How they're run.
Speaker 4: Right now, you have a lot of potential officers that
Speaker 4: are not going to enter into the drop, which basically
Speaker 4: means that they're eligible for retirement, but they still stay
Speaker 4: on the job. And so right now there's a reality
Speaker 4: that there could potentially be fifty, sixty, even eighty officers
Speaker 4: that take the retirement over the next year, and then
Speaker 4: we're dropping down to thirty percent understaff. This is a
Speaker 4: huge problem in our city. We've got to do lateral hiring,
Speaker 4: we've got to spend our money properly, and we've got
Speaker 4: to think about the communities that voted these elected officers in.
Speaker 1: And Corey Bowman, the thing is, these issues that you
Speaker 1: talk about are not issues that have developed over the
Speaker 1: past weekend or maybe over the last month. These are
Speaker 1: issues that have been around for multiple years and have
Speaker 1: been addressed in a serious or meaningful way. And now
Speaker 1: we get to the point to where we have the
Speaker 1: mayor say that, look, we're gonna look at these issues.
Speaker 1: We got to have more money. So it just it
Speaker 1: is a just a gross failure of leadership. And I
Speaker 1: don't We've got about thirty seconds left here. Do you
Speaker 1: see any hope that these things are going to get
Speaker 1: addressed with. This is not a new council, but a
Speaker 1: re elected council that is coming back in with one
Speaker 1: new member.
Speaker 4: Well, I think the question is do you not shouldn't
Speaker 4: be do you see hope? But are you gonna are
Speaker 4: you willing to move forward and inspire hope? You know,
Speaker 4: for me, I jumped into a race last year to
Speaker 4: get the voice out of these issues, to get it
Speaker 4: involved in the conversation. I think that the people that
Speaker 4: rose up and started making these issues at the forefront
Speaker 4: of the conversation. You have to be even more vocal
Speaker 4: right now. Hold people accountable, because that's the only thing
Speaker 4: that's going to provide any hope for us to move forward.
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is still, in my opinion, the greatest city on
Speaker 4: the face of the earth, not only because of what
Speaker 4: it is but what it can be. And I love
Speaker 4: the people, I love the community no matter how they voted.
Speaker 4: But we all have to be able to see different
Speaker 4: solutions if we want to move forward in these areas.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Corey Bowman, I appreciate you jumping on
Speaker 1: on short notice. Today We're all going to pray for
Speaker 1: a Queen er and her family and hopefully something will
Speaker 1: get done. And you are, as I said before, I'll
Speaker 1: say it again. You are the man in the arena
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you taking the time and the work
Speaker 1: that you do every single day. That's the vast majority
Speaker 1: of that work is not in the spotlight. But I
Speaker 1: appreciate you being here to share your opinion today. Corey Bouman,
Speaker 1: all the best of you, my friend, and we will
Speaker 1: talk on down the road.
Speaker 4: Hey, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 6: Dan.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Corey Bouman, the man who
Speaker 1: would have been married, and we ran out of time,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to ask him what he would have
Speaker 1: said if he were the one being sworn in today,
Speaker 1: but we'll have time to do that at a later date.
Speaker 1: Twelve three Dan Carrolyn for Bill Cunningham The Great America
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW twelve thirty seven
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham. And as I mentioned at
Speaker 1: the top of the broadcast today, it is my first
Speaker 1: show with the new year. And if it's my first
Speaker 1: show of the new year, I can't think of a
Speaker 1: better way to have a first show of the new
Speaker 1: year than to have my guest.
Speaker 2: I have now.
Speaker 1: Cheryl Chumley is the online opinion editor at The Washington Times.
Speaker 1: She's an author, she's a military veteran, and just a
Speaker 1: great guest and a great commentator on the current state
Speaker 1: of events that we find ourselves dealing with right now.
Speaker 1: And Cheryl Chumley, it is great to have you on
Speaker 1: first time in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: How are you.
Speaker 3: Thanks to Cheryl, thank you so much for having me on.
Speaker 3: Happy New Year, having a new.
Speaker 2: Year to you.
Speaker 1: I guess you're not making plans anytime soon to move
Speaker 1: to New York City so you can experience the warmth
Speaker 1: of the collective. I'm guessing that's not not in your
Speaker 1: immediate plans.
Speaker 3: I don't even want to visit New York City, never
Speaker 3: mind moving there. So yeah, ma'am, Donnie can can keep
Speaker 3: the city, he can have it.
Speaker 1: You know this, I mean this phrase, the frigidity of
Speaker 1: rugged individualism. They're going to furglore that too, to have
Speaker 1: the warmth of the collective. This is not a mistake.
Speaker 1: This is a phrase that has historical context, and you
Speaker 1: talk about it in your in the in the Substack
Speaker 1: that you just put out talking about how this whole
Speaker 1: thing is a bloody lie. But this has historical context
Speaker 1: to it. That goes back to the Soviet Union, that
Speaker 1: goes back to China and Mao, that goes back to
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany, for God's sake, And and you know, we
Speaker 1: had this, this grotesque display of wallowing in socialism and capitalism.
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, was there, aoc was there? You have Lea
Speaker 1: Tisha James. You had the governor of New York all
Speaker 1: all celebrating the greatness of socialism on New Year's Day
Speaker 1: in New York, the greatest city on the face of
Speaker 1: the earth, and he comes out with this in a
Speaker 1: warmth of the collective. And I mean, this has got
Speaker 1: to be a precursor, I mean for terrible things that
Speaker 1: are going to come down the road.
Speaker 3: It definitely is right. But here's the light at the
Speaker 3: end of the tunnel. At least the Democrats are acknowledging
Speaker 3: that what they're putting out there is collectivism, because I
Speaker 3: don't know how many years you can go back in time.
Speaker 3: Twenty thirty years you can go back easily. And the
Speaker 3: Democrat Party has been moving socialists for a very long time,
Speaker 3: but they've been calling it something else. They've been calling
Speaker 3: it progressivism, they've been calling it democratic socialism. They constantly
Speaker 3: water it down and they fight the label of socialism.
Speaker 3: And if you call them communists or socialists, they start
Speaker 3: talking about, well, that's not really socialist, that's not really
Speaker 3: communists because we let people have control of production still,
Speaker 3: and they go down this scholarly rabbit hole that just
Speaker 3: confuses people. Right, So finally we have somebody who's calling
Speaker 3: it what it is, collectivism and it is the opposite
Speaker 3: of individualism, which makes it in one hundred percent conflict
Speaker 3: with America.
Speaker 1: And it's not just Mandanni himself, it's the people that
Speaker 1: he is putting in place around him that share his
Speaker 1: vision and may even have a stronger vision of this
Speaker 1: than he does. And I want to play a SoundBite
Speaker 1: from his what the what they call his tenant director.
Speaker 1: See Weaver is this individual and I guess she's the
Speaker 1: one that's going to be overseeing the freezing of rents
Speaker 1: and the relationship between people who live in apartment buildings
Speaker 1: and the owner of the buildings. And she's got some
Speaker 1: interesting takes on when it comes to private property ownership
Speaker 1: in I guess in New York City and all of
Speaker 1: America and here or she is talking about that, Dave,
Speaker 1: let's hear cut number one.
Speaker 8: The reality is is that for centuries we've really treated
Speaker 8: property as an individualized good and not a collective good,
Speaker 8: and we are going to and transitioning to treating it
Speaker 8: as a collective good and towards a model of shared
Speaker 8: equity will require that we think about it differently, and
Speaker 8: it will mean that family is, especially white families, but
Speaker 8: some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going
Speaker 8: to have a different relationship to property than than than
Speaker 8: the one that we currently have.
Speaker 1: The reality, so there you go, Ryl Tomley, We're going
Speaker 1: to have a at least New Yorkers are going to
Speaker 1: have a different relationship with personal property than you have now.
Speaker 1: Isn't that fantastic? Isn't that the brave new world that
Speaker 1: we all want to step into?
Speaker 3: Well and against his dock drop, Look at Venezuelan's right
Speaker 3: cheering because they just ousted or had seized from power. Maduro,
Speaker 3: who would believe wholeheartedly in what this woman is saying
Speaker 3: about private property? Look, you know what this is setting
Speaker 3: the stage for is lawsuit after lawsuit in New York City,
Speaker 3: right which let's remember, is going to be fought with
Speaker 3: tax dollars. So it's going to be a wasteful expenditure
Speaker 3: of US tax dollars and city tax dollars and state
Speaker 3: tax dollars, because you can't just tell landlords that they
Speaker 3: have to charge a certain amount for their renters. Right,
Speaker 3: there is still private property protections in this country. And
Speaker 3: just because the City of New York won't recognize that,
Speaker 3: the US Supreme Court will. But the big danger here
Speaker 3: is normalizing the idea that homeownership or the ability to
Speaker 3: rent a home for what the government deems affordable costs
Speaker 3: is something that we should be seriously discussing in America.
Speaker 3: That that idea should never be normalized in America. And
Speaker 3: that's that's really the peril when you have people in
Speaker 3: power who talk about that openly.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about Mondanni in New York City and Maduro,
Speaker 1: because I think this was a part of the overall
Speaker 1: picture that Donald Trump wanted to present. He's he's purple
Speaker 1: walking Maduro all over New York City. I mean there's
Speaker 1: there's either, there's motorcades, there's him walking off the airplane,
Speaker 1: there's him getting on the helicopter. All this stuff and
Speaker 1: so so that the trial and the quart appearance of
Speaker 1: Maduro and him being held is happening in New York City.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's my chance either. I think that's
Speaker 1: the He wants to put this right in the face
Speaker 1: of Mandannie and you know you, you know you want
Speaker 1: to you want to talk tough and talk about how
Speaker 1: you're going to bring me to heel.
Speaker 2: Uh, here you go.
Speaker 1: Here's here's one of the things, uh that that I'm doing,
Speaker 1: and I'm putting it right in your face. I think
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of the uh uh the play
Speaker 1: here going on by Trump.
Speaker 3: Oh he's still there.
Speaker 1: Yah, we got you going, David. Sounds like we got
Speaker 1: a bad connection there with Cheryl Chumley.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think we're back now. I think he said
Speaker 3: it out.
Speaker 2: A little bit to Okay, Now, I think we got
Speaker 2: you now.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I agree with you that Trump is the
Speaker 3: master of the narrative, right. He knows how to play
Speaker 3: the media. He knows Yeah, all right, Oh man, if
Speaker 3: have we lost each other again?
Speaker 2: Dave, how are we looking at it? You know what,
Speaker 2: Let's let's do this.
Speaker 1: Let's let's take a quick break and uh, let's try
Speaker 1: and re establish the connection there with Cheryl, So Dave,
Speaker 1: can we do that? Can we take a quick break
Speaker 1: here and then we'll try and re establish with Cheryl
Speaker 1: Chumley and we hopefully will continue the interview on the
Speaker 1: other side of this. Twelve forty five Dan Carroll for
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, seven hundred WLW. All right back on the
Speaker 1: big one, seven hundred WLW twelve fifty Dan Carroll for
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham. We've re established our contact with Sheryl Chumley
Speaker 1: and Cheryl we were talking about the bit of gamesmanship
Speaker 1: that Trump is engaged in with Zorhan Mandani and Ma
Speaker 1: Donnie comes out after the extraction of Maduro from Venezuela
Speaker 1: and he says, Oh, I've been briefed on this, and
Speaker 1: I've got he's got all kinds of problems with Trump
Speaker 1: and the illegalities and all this. But the part I
Speaker 1: love about this is that the reporters in New York said,
Speaker 1: do you even have a security clearance yet? And he
Speaker 1: had to admit that the briefing was done by his
Speaker 1: own team. So the briefing he got was information that
Speaker 1: is available to everyone who's listening to us right now
Speaker 1: from open source information. So this notion that somehow he
Speaker 1: had a briefing above and beyond what others could get
Speaker 1: was that was shot down by the reporters in New York.
Speaker 1: So I enjoyed that a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Classic socialism, right, I mean, they're constantly lying. They just
Speaker 3: can't help themselves and their whole policy, their whole ideology
Speaker 3: is built on one line after another, so it's no
Speaker 3: surprise that you would try and slide that by. Thankfully,
Speaker 3: reporters called them out for one right, the reporters actually
Speaker 3: did their jobs.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about the reaction from the media
Speaker 1: on this. You and I have talked about any number
Speaker 1: of issues that have happened during the course of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty twenty five, and here we are
Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty six, and the reaction from the
Speaker 1: left is so you could set your watch by the
Speaker 1: reaction from the left on this. It's so predictable. And
Speaker 1: I was watching. I was up for some reason. I
Speaker 1: got up early on Saturday morning, like two thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 2: I turned the TV on.
Speaker 1: I see this thing going on, and then it was
Speaker 1: I don't know, six thirty seven am. Rachel Maddow's on MSNBC,
Speaker 1: and she had about a five minute segment on there.
Speaker 1: They called her up to get her analysis on this,
Speaker 1: and during the course of that five or six minutes,
Speaker 1: she must have said this action is illegal more than
Speaker 1: a dozen times. And that's of course the only thing
Speaker 1: that she had to go on with our analysis. But
Speaker 1: it's so predictable the reaction that we get from the
Speaker 1: left and from the media on this is it not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the talking point, right, that this is illegal.
Speaker 3: And what's very curious to me, First off, it's not illegal,
Speaker 3: right because anything that Trump and his administration do, you
Speaker 3: can pretty much count on the fact that it's been
Speaker 3: vetted for legality because they know that the left is
Speaker 3: going to come out and cry that it's illegal. So
Speaker 3: that right there should give the American people some comfort.
Speaker 3: But the other part of that is there were actually
Speaker 3: indictments issued in twenty twenty for Maduro, right and after that,
Speaker 3: after the indictments were issued in New York for Maduro
Speaker 3: for being a narco terrorist and conspiracy and other issues
Speaker 3: that the Democrats wanted him captured, the Democrats wanted him seized.
Speaker 3: It's only when Donald Trumps successfully enactivist operation that suddenly
Speaker 3: Democrats and the left leaning media and all the leftists
Speaker 3: out there hate what Donald Trump has done, are calling
Speaker 3: it unconstitutional and illegal, and they're being put in the
Speaker 3: position of defending a narco terrorist. Amazing, It's a little
Speaker 3: bit more of the gamemanship strategy of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 1: And I was watching a clip that someone put together
Speaker 1: on social media and it was all the CNN people,
Speaker 1: all the MSNBC people ripping Donald Trump back in twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen because he wouldn't go after Mrduro. They were talking about,
Speaker 1: this guy is so bad. But you know, this is
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump wants to be. Donald Trump wants to
Speaker 1: be a dictator strong man like Marduro. So of course
Speaker 1: he idolizes him and won't go after him. So on
Speaker 1: one hand, they're calling him out for not going after him,
Speaker 1: and then when he does, all they can say is that,
Speaker 1: you know, this guy's out of control and he needs vampede.
Speaker 3: Yeah. President Trump has completely frustrated the efforts of the left,
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party, which is to say, the Marxist Party
Speaker 3: and their friends in the media to ding him successfully
Speaker 3: because every time they try and slam this president. He
Speaker 3: just sort of skips and pure ways and dances away
Speaker 3: and turns their accusations back on themselves. And you know,
Speaker 3: it's classic Democrats to forget the fact that Biden, Joe
Speaker 3: Biden actually wanted Maduro ousted, supported a I think it
Speaker 3: started out as being a fifteen million dollar bounty on
Speaker 3: his head and it went up to twenty five million
Speaker 3: at the end of his term. Wanted to get Maduro
Speaker 3: so badly, could not because he was feckless and a
Speaker 3: puppet of the left. And now Trump has and the
Speaker 3: left wants America to conveniently forget this. Well, in a
Speaker 3: Navarro on the View is happy about Trump's seizure of
Speaker 3: Maduro and the fact that Maduro has been toppled, and
Speaker 3: if she can come on board and put her anti
Speaker 3: Trump Trump derangement syndrome behind her and support this administration,
Speaker 3: the rest of Democrats ought to be able to do similarly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was pretty amazing with the look of
Speaker 1: the shock on the faces of her co host as
Speaker 1: she was talking. I would have loved to have been
Speaker 1: a fly on the wall behind the scenes after theyah
Speaker 1: when they went back to the green room after that show,
Speaker 1: was ever, what the hell are you talking about? But
Speaker 1: talk about Tim Walls for a second, and he's dropping out.
Speaker 1: He's not going to run for re election in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Has this thing with the fraud investigations in Minnesota? Has
Speaker 1: that thing just gotten to such a critical mass now
Speaker 1: that he's seeing the writing on the wall, and he's
Speaker 1: got to get out while we're getting good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has to drop out, right. And he's dropped out,
Speaker 3: probably because of pressure from some of his fellow Democrats
Speaker 3: who are concerned about the long term political ramifications of this.
Speaker 3: Because in Minnesota, right, we've known for years and years
Speaker 3: that fraud in these systems have gone forth, but we
Speaker 3: were never given this up close and personal feel of
Speaker 3: it until Nick Shirley went out there with his cameras
Speaker 3: and videotaped the empty childcare facilities along with the misspelling
Speaker 3: the luring center, right, which is going to go down
Speaker 3: in history. It's one of the funniest meanings. Right, But yes,
Speaker 3: exactly so, now there's some real movement to root out
Speaker 3: this fraud, and with this administration to determination, Waltz really
Speaker 3: had no choice. The bigger question here is what's going
Speaker 3: to happen in these other states, right, Governor Gavin Newsom
Speaker 3: ought to be on a little bit on eggshells. Now,
Speaker 3: New York, Illinois, they're all going to face these same
Speaker 3: fraud investigations by this White House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then all these others, so many these other states.
Speaker 1: At least the preliminary information that's coming out on this,
Speaker 1: they're saying, this fraud in California and some of the
Speaker 1: other states is going to dwarf what happened in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: And we and we have it.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've even uncovered or revealed the true
Speaker 1: money amount that was defrauded from the taxpayers in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: No, we don't. And look here's the real, I don't
Speaker 3: know moment to cheer. We all know conservatives know that
Speaker 3: social services are just ripe for the pickings, right, and
Speaker 3: that founding fathers would never envision a country where it
Speaker 3: was cradle to grave entitlement programs paid by taxpayers. So
Speaker 3: it really is a good moment in time to be
Speaker 3: having an administration taking a hard look at these social
Speaker 3: service service programs and all the ways that has gone forth.
Speaker 3: We know from day one of their creation.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, CHERRYL. Chulmley got to run the warmth
Speaker 1: of the collection is a bloody live. That's your latest
Speaker 1: on your substack. If people want to find out more

Speaker 1: to have her on. So my first show of the year,
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman kicked it off and Cheryl Chumley here to
Speaker 1: talk about this and just so great to have her on.
Speaker 1: A couple more guests we've got coming up here on

Speaker 1: it comes to Venezuela. I am not claiming to be
Speaker 1: an expert on what is going on with Venezuela, but
Speaker 1: this guy is. And if you really want some perspective
Speaker 1: on this, about what's happening in Venezuela, what the political
Speaker 1: outlook is, and what the current political situation is. Mike
Speaker 1: Gonzales has done tons of work on Venezuela before we

Speaker 1: spirited out of there in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: So I encourage you to stick around for Mike Gonzales
Speaker 1: and then doctor Bryant June Deff will be here in
Speaker 1: the two o'clock hour. And this is the guy who
Speaker 1: has traveled to every country in the world, and he

Speaker 1: I could come in again Friday for Cunningham, so I'm

Speaker 1: forward to speaking with my next guest. Mike Gonzalez is
Speaker 1: a Senior Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He is an
Speaker 1: expert on foreign affairs, and the guy has reported all
Speaker 1: over the world. He's done all kinds of I could
Speaker 1: spend the next thirty minutes reading his bio, but then
Speaker 1: they the interview would be over and we wouldn't get
Speaker 1: the wise words from Mike Gonzalez. So, Mike Gonzalez, Happy
Speaker 1: New Year to you and thank you for being here.
Speaker 2: How are you today?
Speaker 5: Happy New Year? And happy day of the Epiphany, the
Speaker 5: Day of the Epiphany.
Speaker 1: Got to remember that too, absolutely absolutely, what has Donald
Speaker 1: Trump gotten himself into with these moves he made in Venezuela.
Speaker 5: I think Donald Trump is making a bid to be
Speaker 5: the foreign policy president of the last half century. I
Speaker 5: can't think of a better legacy than the one he
Speaker 5: has right now. Now, as you know, with one policy,
Speaker 5: things can can go. As my Scottish late Scottish mother
Speaker 5: in law used to say, pear shaped. You can go
Speaker 5: pear shaped very quickly. But right now he's got a
Speaker 5: ceasefire in Gaza, he's got an Iran without nuclear capacity,
Speaker 5: and he's got the head of the Cartel of the
Speaker 5: Sun's Nicolas Maduro's uh in shackles in New York on
Speaker 5: the US custody. And he may have a transition in
Speaker 5: Venezuela that will not only be enormous for the global economy.
Speaker 5: And I can get into that in a second. Why
Speaker 5: the ramtifications for the global global economy are are so huge,
Speaker 5: But he could have ramifications throughout the region. Cuba, the
Speaker 5: regime in Cuba cannot survive without the Venezuelan oil subsidies. UH,
Speaker 5: the the smuggling networks that bring in all the narcotics
Speaker 5: that are that are causing the death from over those
Speaker 5: of one hundred thousand Americans are gonna have a very
Speaker 5: difficult time without this UH, this Cartela, the SOLA is
Speaker 5: based in karrakas being able to operate. So I think
Speaker 5: that Donald Trump has gotten into a very good place
Speaker 5: at the cost of sis, at the cost of know
Speaker 5: that on our site zero debts, and I hear about
Speaker 5: seven wounded are injured, none of whom are in critical condition,
Speaker 5: all of whom are in stable conditions.
Speaker 1: So you have been way ahead of the curve on this.
Speaker 1: Back in December, you wrote a piece about some individuals
Speaker 1: who are close to Maduro who are cooperating with the
Speaker 1: United States different I guess agencies within the United States
Speaker 1: that were building the case against Missouri. They're getting a
Speaker 1: lot of information from these individuals who were close to Merdureau.
Speaker 1: How much of a part did that play in the
Speaker 1: timing of this and Trump making the move when he
Speaker 1: did well?
Speaker 5: They wrote letters to Trump by talking about Colio Karma,
Speaker 5: how yeah, and the name of the Cordonas Yeah. Whyever,
Speaker 5: Cordonas Yeah, that's why Cordonas Cardonas. They wrote letters saying, look,
Speaker 5: we're we're part of a narco terrorism conspiracy. This is
Speaker 5: what we did. That says it was Cuban inspired, the
Speaker 5: idea came from her. It used Venezuelan.
Speaker 7: All the money and the muscle of the Colombian UH guerrillas,
Speaker 7: and lo and beholdan long behold Saturday morning in Caracas,
Speaker 7: in the early hours of Saturday, when.
Speaker 5: We had this this spectacular mission, which which which produced
Speaker 5: no depth in our side, but of between forty and
Speaker 5: fifty dead on the other side. This is his story
Speaker 5: that is huge and is going largely under reported. The
Speaker 5: vast majority of the people killed on the other side
Speaker 5: were now Venezuelan's dan They were Cubans. Thirty two of
Speaker 5: the of the of the soldiers who were killed were
Speaker 5: cue been fighting for Maduro. Now, the communist country of
Speaker 5: Cuba has been saying until Saturday night, denying for years
Speaker 5: that it had soldiers in in Caracas. And we all
Speaker 5: kept saying, look, we had we think we estimated the
Speaker 5: numbers about fifteen thousand. And he said, this is just libelous.
Speaker 5: We challenged you to offering through and then Noah beholds
Speaker 5: something Ni Cuban television announces because he couldn't hide the
Speaker 5: fact because these people had mothers and wives, children and friends.
Speaker 5: They announced that thirty two Cubans were killed fighting for Maduro.
Speaker 5: The Venezuelans actually did not fight the Cubans did.
Speaker 1: Why did Maduro need a Cuban a Cuban security force
Speaker 1: around him. Is he not able to trust his own people?
Speaker 1: Is he not able to do I don't even notice
Speaker 1: Venezuela even have a standing army. Did they have a
Speaker 1: secure prey force it's available to do this particular duty.
Speaker 2: It has one.
Speaker 5: I don't know how good it is, but you put
Speaker 5: your finger on the dan. My Dua did not trust
Speaker 5: the Venezuelans to keep him alive. But number two, the
Speaker 5: Cubans did not trust Maduro not to flee. So in
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen, when we had the huge demonstrations in Trump
Speaker 5: and was supporting Huang Guido as president, what Carlo's flint
Speaker 5: is Foreign Ministry of Mexico had said is that Maduro
Speaker 5: was ready to leave. Maduna wanted to leave, and the
Speaker 5: Cubans said to him, you're not going anywhere. You're the
Speaker 5: president of this country. Go back to the president, to
Speaker 5: go back to the palace and act presidential. We're not
Speaker 5: letting you leave. So we've always known that the Cuban
Speaker 5: that this is a mutual an active music to distrust.
Speaker 5: Maduro was rained in Havana and then appointed by Chavez
Speaker 5: in before he died in the Fassament twelve. This is
Speaker 5: Havannah's man, and UH and the Cubans who are hardcore communists,
Speaker 5: the Cuban regime are hardcore communists who hate the United States.
Speaker 5: Uh did not want to leave and and he and
Speaker 5: he only trusted them in the end, and in the
Speaker 5: end it wasn't it wasn't enough.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 1: It talked a little bit about Uh. Del Rodriguez, who
Speaker 1: was vice president until today sworn in as president. The
Speaker 1: reports are that Deli Rodriguez has been collaborating with the CIA,
Speaker 1: actually worked with the CIA to assist in the removal
Speaker 1: of Merduro. But then you know, the first move was
Speaker 1: to send goons out on the streets to arrest Venezuelans
Speaker 1: who were uh celebrating and supporting the United States. So
Speaker 1: what do you make of what what the current political
Speaker 1: situation is in Venezuela right now?
Speaker 5: Well, I think she's another goon. I think it's another
Speaker 5: hardcore communists and thug, Uh, we don't trust her. And
Speaker 5: by the by the way, her first reaction on Saturday
Speaker 5: was to be very combative, was to be very saying no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I'm not the president. Here was the president. The president, Uh,
Speaker 5: he's been kidnapped. The Americans are bad. And I talked
Speaker 5: to an administration official and I said, look a Sunday
Speaker 5: talked about Sunday. I said, look what, She's not cooperative.
Speaker 5: And this man simply said to me, Mike, we have options.
Speaker 5: Well I was soon to what those options were, because
Speaker 5: about an hour or two later, said well, if she
Speaker 5: doesn't cooperate, she could meet a fake worse than Maduro's.
Speaker 5: She Trump said this, uh Sunday night. And when you know, Dan,
Speaker 5: that within an hour she put a statement saying, oh, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I'm going to be very cooperative. I'm going to cooperate
Speaker 5: with Marco Rubio. We're all going to be very cooperative.
Speaker 5: And so of course we need to wait and see
Speaker 5: if that is the case. But no one knows at
Speaker 5: the moment whether she will cooperate or not. And and
Speaker 5: I know that that Grubio and Trump do not trust her,
Speaker 5: but they will go along with her as long as
Speaker 5: she does what they want. And I understand that, and
Speaker 5: I'll tell you why that is, Dan. If we have
Speaker 5: a political transition right now that will necessitate thousands of
Speaker 5: American boots on the ground. These are if these are
Speaker 5: our boys, our girls from Kansas and in Ohio, in California,
Speaker 5: and we want to avoid doing that at all costs.
Speaker 5: So if it means that for a time we have
Speaker 5: to be dealing with a thug who is cooperative, I
Speaker 5: think that is a preferable that option.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the I think the last thing the
Speaker 1: vast majority of the American people want is troops on
Speaker 1: the ground, boots on the ground in Venezuela being in
Speaker 1: harm's way, especially when you've got the Chinese involved here,
Speaker 1: when you've got Iran involved here, and when you say China,
Speaker 1: I think you also have to say, by extension, you've
Speaker 1: got Russia involved. I mean, this is a move that
Speaker 1: that affects all these other all these other countries. So
Speaker 1: when you when you pull back on this and you
Speaker 1: look at the big picture, obviously oil is a major
Speaker 1: concern here. I think there's a lot of truth in
Speaker 1: what Trump said about wanting to get these major oil
Speaker 1: producers back into Venezuela, get the infrastructure squared away. I
Speaker 1: think China was eyeing that and looking at that and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, solidifying that pipeline of Venezuelan oil to China.
Speaker 1: But Trump is saying, look, this is the Western hemisphere,
Speaker 1: this is our backyard. You're not going to do this here.
Speaker 1: And uh so you know this move affects all these
Speaker 1: other countries here. So what's what's the bigger picture here?
Speaker 1: What what's the what's the big play that's going on
Speaker 1: by this move?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 5: And while you grow up oil, I must say, I
Speaker 5: don't want to leave the room impression here that Trump
Speaker 5: did tell NBC News late last night that if if
Speaker 5: Rodriguez does not cooperate, he will send in troops. So
Speaker 5: so he has put her on notice that she either
Speaker 5: cooperates or that we're going to say American troops. I
Speaker 5: don't think he wants to do that, but I think
Speaker 5: he's ready. He would not issue an empty threat as
Speaker 5: to the world. Uh Clinzuela has the world's largest known
Speaker 5: oil reserve. Yes, they have three hundred billion billion with
Speaker 5: the d barrels. Yet they produce one million barrels a day.
Speaker 5: So so they have six times the reserve that we have,
Speaker 5: and we produce Our oil production is fourteen times the
Speaker 5: daily the daily production of Venezuela. Getting this oil flowing
Speaker 5: again is obviously a mean main issue for for for us,
Speaker 5: for them, for the world economy. And we need that
Speaker 5: the the Venezuela has many creditors because then the the
Speaker 5: the the collectivize their their oil industry. In two thousand
Speaker 5: and seven, that's when our oil companies left uh and
Speaker 5: then they our oil companies won in court and uh
Speaker 5: and and Chavez, the predecessor to Maduro, refused to pay.
Speaker 5: And the Venezuela needs to start producing oil again to
Speaker 5: pay the the its creditors, uh and and and you
Speaker 5: can imagine in a world where you know, the before
Speaker 5: the invasion, the biggest word was was affordability.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: Everybody was talking about affordability. Well, if we get Venezuela
Speaker 5: and oil out in the market again, things will be
Speaker 5: much more affordable because oil is part of the price
Speaker 5: of everything we buy, oursell. So Trump is not wrong
Speaker 5: and Trump is not wrong when he says this is
Speaker 5: our oil, because this is this is a very heavy crude,
Speaker 5: by the way, very heavy crude which makes extraction and
Speaker 5: refinement UH harder, and which required which requires more, which
Speaker 5: requires inversion, which requires investment, and and and and Venezuela
Speaker 5: because it collectivizes its industry and and and and in
Speaker 5: the petvetsa the oil industry, the old company became very corrupt.
Speaker 5: Uh uh, just has been under investing in this major sector.
Speaker 5: So so yeah, I think that that requires immediate attention.
Speaker 1: So Mike Godzella says, as you look at the way
Speaker 1: things are unfolding here is what kind of milestones are
Speaker 1: you going to be looking for? What kind of markers
Speaker 1: are you going to be looking for to say that
Speaker 1: that this plan whatever's in place. What the whole idea
Speaker 1: of the United States running Venezuela, that's something that I'm
Speaker 1: not sure I'm totally on board with. I just don't
Speaker 1: like it on the face of it. But as this
Speaker 1: thing continues to develop an unfold, what kind of markers
Speaker 1: or milestones are you going to be looking for that's
Speaker 1: going to tell you that that this thing has the
Speaker 1: possibility of working out the way Trump wants it to
Speaker 1: work out.
Speaker 5: We'll running Venezuela. Through Mark Rubis's tone, We're not running Venezuela.
Speaker 5: I don't think we will by putting a bulget on
Speaker 5: the ground, by by having a vice roy or, a
Speaker 5: governor or, or an unoccupying force. I don't think that's
Speaker 5: what anybody wants he's gonna run Venezuela by telling Delsea
Speaker 5: or whoever's in charge to do ABC and and then
Speaker 5: she wants to do to b C. So that's the
Speaker 5: first marker. The first marker is whether Rodriguez.
Speaker 10: Who's who's a thug and the sooner we get her
Speaker 10: out of the way the better, Whether Rodriguez begins to
Speaker 10: cooperate and do exactly as we're as she's told, well
Speaker 10: that she starts releasing political prisoners that are still being
Speaker 10: tortured right now.
Speaker 5: And what I hear, what I've been hearing for years,
Speaker 5: is that the people doing the torturing in Caracas all
Speaker 5: have Cuban accents. So we need to to get that going.
Speaker 3: We need.
Speaker 5: Another important marker is stopped all the oil subsidies to Cuba,
Speaker 5: to Cuba's at the American regime. We need to stop
Speaker 5: all the oil flowing to China and Russia. Yeah, we
Speaker 5: need to stop the flow of gold. Venezuela also has
Speaker 5: a lot of gold uh to Iran down the line,
Speaker 5: when Venezuela has become a more functioning economy and less
Speaker 5: of a criminal enterprise. And obviously the drug smuggling, Yeah,
Speaker 5: the drug the the the the the support for darker
Speaker 5: traffic in the streets and political instability. They were very
Speaker 5: very they were huge supporters of Black Lives Matter on Antifa, UH,
Speaker 5: they were the founders of Black Lives Matter, were constantly
Speaker 5: being photo photographs with Maduro. But to Harlem that has
Speaker 5: to come to screeching halts, as well as the the
Speaker 5: aiding of Antifa, which just just fills our street with uh,
Speaker 5: with instability, and and also the drug smuggling. UH that
Speaker 5: has to stop. And then the bow on top of
Speaker 5: the president would be the transition to a a president
Speaker 5: who has been freely in FA.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we haven't seen any drug boats blown up since
Speaker 1: this has happened, so I'm guessing that that might be
Speaker 1: an immediate effect that that we were going to see
Speaker 1: Mike Gonzalees. We're up against the clock, so we got
Speaker 1: to run.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for your insight on this. Always appreciate having you on,
Speaker 1: and I always appreciate whenever I can get someone from
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation. Keep up the great work, and with
Speaker 1: your permission, we'll be calling.
Speaker 5: On you again anytime then. Just call I Love Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: All right there you go, Mike, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Mike Gonzalez of the Heritage Foundation, one twenty five, Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll for Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 11: My wife, By the way, my wife hates when I
Speaker 11: do this, she said. You know, she's a very classy person.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 11: She said, it's so unpresidential. I said, but I did
Speaker 11: become president somebody she hates when I dance. I said,
Speaker 11: everybody wants to dance, Darling, it's not presidential. She actually said,
Speaker 11: could you imagine FDR dancing? She said that to me,
Speaker 11: and I have to say this. The dancing they really like,
Speaker 11: She said, they don't like it. They're just being nice
Speaker 11: to you. I said, that's not right. The place goes crazy.
Speaker 12: Hello, quiet, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 2: God, I like the president of way dancing.
Speaker 1: You may like Trump, you may not like Trump, But
Speaker 1: when it comes to delivering a joke, when it comes
Speaker 1: to making fun of himself, I mean that, really, there
Speaker 1: is there anyone that does it better? No, the guys,
Speaker 1: But you gotta admit the guy's pretty funny. It's funny.
Speaker 1: That was some funny.
Speaker 2: I had not heard that clip before.
Speaker 1: If they see that up there, cracking on himself was
Speaker 1: talking about Malania.
Speaker 2: Didn't like him to dance. I like when he dances
Speaker 2: at you know, when he came out during a campaign,
Speaker 2: does the the arms and all that stuff. It's good.
Speaker 1: That's a it's a great movie, better than you know who.
Speaker 1: And then didn't we have some football players that were
Speaker 1: doing that in the end zone during a Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a few of them during the NFL season. They didn't
Speaker 1: get fat.
Speaker 2: I guess the referees were Republicans, so they didn't throw
Speaker 2: any flags on him. How glad are you the NFL
Speaker 2: season is finally over? Well, I mean within about well,
Speaker 2: I mean what we're already in January February. In two months,
Speaker 2: the NC Double and the NC Double A tournament will
Speaker 2: be March Madness, and then baseball And then what about
Speaker 2: I heard Tom Brenhman talking about this morning. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: can look, I get.
Speaker 1: Excited about sports. You get excited about it. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of people listening to this radio station. They love sports, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: But what about Tom Brennan was talking about the kicker
Speaker 1: for the ball more Ravens. He misses that field goal
Speaker 1: on the Monday night football game and it ends the
Speaker 1: Ravens season and the Pittsburgh's in the playoffs and Tom
Speaker 1: Brenneman's talking about how this guy is getting death threats,
Speaker 1: this guy's getting threats to his family U social messages.
Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with people?
Speaker 2: A lot of the a lot of the a lot
Speaker 2: of those betters too, are getting you know, the college
Speaker 2: players that are miss baskets and they're getting threats too.
Speaker 2: So I mean, it's that's just the way it is,
Speaker 2: and that's the way it is today.
Speaker 1: I mean, you think it's all because of the gambling,
Speaker 1: probably with all the all the sports betting, probably.
Speaker 2: And then just fans like saying, hey, you missed the
Speaker 2: field goal and we're going to come over and whatever.
Speaker 2: But for God's sake, I mean, you can't go that's
Speaker 2: life today.
Speaker 1: After a kicker because the dude missing it's not like
Speaker 1: he was trying to miss the field goal.
Speaker 2: That's that's life in the world. We know it today,
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll is not surprising.
Speaker 1: How many times do you see it in the NFL?
Speaker 1: And we and we saw it with the with the
Speaker 1: Bengals on Sunday. You knew there was too much time
Speaker 1: left in the game, even with a rookie quarterbacks standers,
Speaker 1: they were able to come down getting field goal range
Speaker 1: kick the game winning field goal. And I thought the
Speaker 1: same thing was going to happen in Pittsburgh Monday night.
Speaker 1: And then then the guy what forty four yard are
Speaker 1: me and most of those guys he missed?
Speaker 2: Connect morning? That guy missed a field goal in an
Speaker 2: extra point in game one with the the Browns in
Speaker 2: Cleveland Beals. Yeah, So, Dan Carroll, the Stoote Reporters, the
Speaker 2: proud service of your local Tame Star Heating and air
Speaker 2: conditioning dealers, tame Star quality you could feel in beautiful

Speaker 2: five days in jail after pleading guilty the reckless driving
Speaker 2: and no license charge stemming from an incident in September downtown.
Speaker 2: He appeared in court today on crutches. He's got a
Speaker 2: foot injury. Is he the only one starting the off
Speaker 2: season right on track?
Speaker 1: But I remember when these stories were happening, and you're
Speaker 1: getting these street takeovers, and then you got the racing
Speaker 1: going on and they're spinning around the circles and doing
Speaker 1: all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Is he the only one that got caught that? I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't remember anyone else paying a price for this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I don't know, And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't, but I mean, you know, if you're
Speaker 1: out there, you're driving, you're doing that, probably shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing that. Don't know, Dan Carroll, I mean five days
Speaker 1: in the Who's cow locked up?
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: I guess that would be good for him, But they'll
Speaker 1: probably let him out. I would probably let him out
Speaker 1: for good behavior, and probably tomorrow or something.
Speaker 2: College football news, UC's best defensive player with sixty tackles
Speaker 2: last year, Sainty Antoine Peak Junior, is gonna return to

Speaker 2: So there you go, So there you go. Jeff Brown outstand.
Speaker 2: It looks like FC Cincinnati's signing up a local product,
Speaker 2: Kyle Smith, to a one year deal. Mister Smith played
Speaker 2: at LaSalle and recently with Orlando City as an outside
Speaker 2: back and a center midfielder. Right over there on the pitch,
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. So that's about it. Not a lot
Speaker 2: going on in sports then, no, So of course the
Speaker 2: college football playoffs tee off on Thursday with Miami and
Speaker 2: Old Miss and then Friday will be Indiana and Oregon
Speaker 2: in the semi finals. Did I see where some Old
Speaker 2: Miss players left.
Speaker 1: The team to get into the after their their win
Speaker 1: in the college football playoffs?
Speaker 2: I think some of their coaches some stage, some didn't.
Speaker 2: I'm sure some of them. I know their quarterbacks re
Speaker 2: signed with to play still at your Old Miss, their
Speaker 2: star quarterback.
Speaker 1: College football is such a mess right now, you know,
Speaker 1: I kidding, didn't it was? It was one, it was
Speaker 1: it might have been Indiana.
Speaker 2: But it's like five million players into portal, so you
Speaker 2: got the portal opens and then you have to be
Speaker 2: in it at a certain period of time. Yep.
Speaker 1: And so while the playoffs are still going on, guys
Speaker 1: are incentivized to leave the team that that they're on
Speaker 1: in the college football playoffs because they might get a
Speaker 1: better deal somewhere else.
Speaker 2: That's the world today, Dan, just like just like just
Speaker 2: like everything else, you know. And then what's Sores be
Speaker 2: getting for going to Texas Tech? About five million?
Speaker 12: God?
Speaker 2: And they said he's making more than sugar saying he's
Speaker 2: in the NFL and he's stunk up the place the
Speaker 2: end of the year. Terrible, but good luck to him.
Speaker 2: Texas Tech says he's worth five million dollars. Good luck
Speaker 2: to him. Sign right here for the dough, the ray
Speaker 2: and the meat. Yeah. I mean, you know, the one
Speaker 2: Kentucky quarterback went to Arizona State. I don't know how
Speaker 2: much he got. There was another way, and well at
Speaker 2: Ohio State quarterback went to Louisville. I don't know what
Speaker 2: he got, but I mean probably a few mill Now
Speaker 2: I had I had grant we had grant House.
Speaker 1: I'm a Jason Williams last week and we had grant
Speaker 1: house on you know grand House. The swimmer from Saint
Speaker 1: X right went to Arizona State and and it's called
Speaker 1: the House settlement. So it was his lawsuit that opened
Speaker 1: up the door for the players to get all this
Speaker 1: nil money. And he said he never envisioned it being
Speaker 1: like this the way college sports is right now. I
Speaker 1: mean he didn't have anything to do with the train.
Speaker 2: Well, there's nobody, there's nobody, there's no regulation, there's nobody
Speaker 2: overseeing it or nothing. And now you got it in
Speaker 2: high school now Ohio, Ohio, Ohio voted it in what
Speaker 2: about about a month ago or something. Have we heard now,
Speaker 2: have we heard of any high school players getting any
Speaker 2: big heard anything? So I don't know.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna have high school players doing
Speaker 1: commercials for car dealerships and.
Speaker 2: Probably probably that, and you're probably going to go to
Speaker 2: the grade schools and then pee wee football and then you.
Speaker 1: Know, well on end, we know people were betting on
Speaker 1: pee wee football whatever that that crap hit in the
Speaker 1: fan a couple of years ago, didn't we t ball?
Speaker 2: Probably you know, kids will be getting paid playing t ball.
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't end. Enough is enough, there's nobody
Speaker 2: to regulate it. There's no over sitting, there's nobody to
Speaker 2: oversee it. There's nothing. There's nobody to say, hey, these
Speaker 2: are the rules and that's it, and there's nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he's a joke.
Speaker 1: But grand House was telling us that he that he's
Speaker 1: got all kinds of death threats and people. I'm mad
Speaker 1: at him because of what you know, and look all
Speaker 1: he was saying is is look I was out there,
Speaker 1: I was I had the ability to earn money because
Speaker 1: he was doing a podcast with his brother, right, and
Speaker 1: he was saying the fact that we're not able to
Speaker 1: earn any money on our own and the school is
Speaker 1: able to make money off of us, that's not right.
Speaker 2: So he sued. He won. And that's what that kid did,
Speaker 2: getting all these death threats and everything else in Dayton.
Speaker 2: That's what that one kid in Dayton. We had the
Speaker 2: laws suit and now look at it. So that's that's life,
Speaker 2: and that that's life in the big city. Now, Dan,
Speaker 2: you can't there's no there's no fighting it because who
Speaker 2: you're gonna fight.
Speaker 1: But Jason Williams made a good point. He says, it's
Speaker 1: not your fault. It's out of control. There's no leadership
Speaker 1: correct at the at.
Speaker 2: The n c a A that that they are non existent.
Speaker 2: They should have been right, somebody should have been on
Speaker 2: top of this or or had some kind of group
Speaker 2: to oversee this. But there's nothing. So teams are you know,
Speaker 2: schools are paying out the wazoo for these players. Now
Speaker 2: that's a lot of money, man, you're not kidding.
Speaker 1: And and not to not to say that these schools
Speaker 1: don't have the money the kid and.
Speaker 2: Then the kid may stay for one year and then
Speaker 2: go go someplace else. So it's not like you know,
Speaker 2: you're like you're you know, your regular scholarship. It's like, hey,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be here. I'll go over. I'll
Speaker 2: go over and play for uh, you know, Oregon or something.
Speaker 2: They'll give me, They'll give me eight million. Well, all
Speaker 2: I know is Coach Cal says, these guys don't need
Speaker 2: the pros anymore. Well, that's the thing. Some of them
Speaker 2: make lesson, would make lesson to pros, and they do
Speaker 2: in college.
Speaker 1: Coach Cal said, you know what's gonna happen in some
Speaker 1: of these the vast majority of these players when their
Speaker 1: time in college comes to an end and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you got to take a regular job now, And he says,
Speaker 1: what do I got to show up? You know, are
Speaker 1: you You're gonna give me an apartment, You're gonna give
Speaker 1: me a car, You're gonna do all this, And what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen when they have to, uh to get smacked
Speaker 1: around by the real world. They're not good enough to
Speaker 1: go pro. They make a lot of money in college,
Speaker 1: but they're not good enough to go pro.
Speaker 2: So Cal see what happened?
Speaker 1: He said, He's got to figure it out, but no
Speaker 1: one wants to listen to him.
Speaker 2: He says, I call my dog. The dog goes the
Speaker 2: other way.
Speaker 1: He can't, he can't get anyone. I would say, I
Speaker 1: would say, let's let's hear what coach cal has to say.
Speaker 2: And and maybe he can figure it out.
Speaker 1: But soon, let me ask you this, yes, sir, how
Speaker 1: is it that some dude with a hammer is able
Speaker 1: to get on the property of the Vice President of
Speaker 1: the United States?
Speaker 2: Right down there off of off.
Speaker 1: Of Columbia Parkway, go up and get close enough to
Speaker 1: the house with a hammer in his hand and start
Speaker 1: busting out windows and the front of the house of
Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States. I drive past there,
Speaker 1: I see police cars, I see secret service cars, the
Speaker 1: SUVs with the blacked out windows and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. How is some dude from Hyde Park able
Speaker 1: to get a hammer, run around on the property and
Speaker 1: start busting out windows?
Speaker 2: What is up with that? That's over my pay grade.
Speaker 2: I have no idea. That's your data. I gotta worry
Speaker 2: about sports. What the hell is going on? I gotta
Speaker 2: worry about sports. That's all news. Well, you're you're guys.
Speaker 2: I don't go around you're a man of the world.
Speaker 2: Do you read the news? You listen to Brian Homes
Speaker 2: every morning. Maybe the guy thinks he's earnest tea bass
Speaker 2: of the Andy Griffiths Show with a hammer. Don't they
Speaker 2: talk about this on W E B N. No are
Speaker 2: you kidding? No? This are you kidding? I mean, he's
Speaker 2: probably a big lister. It's kind of a big store.
Speaker 2: It's probably a big lister. Maybe we'll have it. Maybe
Speaker 2: Kid Chris will have him on. We have an interview
Speaker 2: with him, Maybe have it. Get him on from the joint.
Speaker 1: They gave him an ankle monitor and said, go on
Speaker 1: your way. Here's an ankle monitor. Don't don't don't bust
Speaker 1: anyone with anyone else's windows out.
Speaker 2: He already ripped, ripped open what there, already broke windows
Speaker 2: and hide park.
Speaker 1: He's done it before, and now he's out on the
Speaker 1: street and he's terrorizing the Vice president's family.
Speaker 2: I don't think so anymore that since the federal boy's got.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, look a secret service and the
Speaker 1: and the Thank goodness he was protect the vice He
Speaker 1: wasn't there. He wasn't he wasn't there. If he would
Speaker 1: have been there, I would like to think the security
Speaker 1: would be stepped up a little bit.
Speaker 2: Uh well, I think it's probably stepped up all the time.
Speaker 1: But I just don't want to see guy in there,
Speaker 1: anyone from the Secret Service who's listening to me right now.
Speaker 1: I love you girls, I love you guys. I love
Speaker 1: you girls. I love the Cincinnati Plea, I love law enforcement.
Speaker 1: But come on, man, this is this isn't unforced there.
Speaker 1: You can't let this kind of dude out there running
Speaker 1: around on the front yard of the Vice President's house
Speaker 1: and then get close enough to the house where he
Speaker 1: can bust out windows with a hammer. I thought the
Speaker 1: guy was throwing rocks or something, but then it turns out.
Speaker 1: You know, when I first heard the story, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, this guy's throwing rocks at the house. It's
Speaker 1: a couple of windows. But now he's got a hammer.
Speaker 1: He's been bang bang bangs. He made busting holes in
Speaker 1: the in the windows with a hammer. You can't let
Speaker 1: that happens.
Speaker 2: Way way of life in the wild West there, Dan
Speaker 2: can I don't know, don't you do?
Speaker 1: But we just keep keep doing the same things over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And I'm glad that the
Speaker 1: entire coaching staff is going to be back for the Bengals.
Speaker 1: That will give us something to talk about next year,
Speaker 1: that's sure. Seg, go ahead and get us out of
Speaker 1: the stooge report.
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll in, Hot are of a cloudy day here
Speaker 2: at a trice day, cloudy but one. We leave you
Speaker 2: with the immortal words of the stewed Report, well in
Speaker 2: the words of one Matthew McConaughey. All right, all right,
Speaker 2: all right, there you go.
Speaker 1: That's the sports broadcaster of the year right there in Ohio,
Speaker 1: the cowboy, Jeff Brantley.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear him back on the airwaves.
Speaker 1: SEG, we'll see at about two thirty five, Yes, sir
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW back on the Big one, seven
Speaker 1: hundred W LW two O seven. Dan Carroll in for
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham. We roll until three this afternoon. I think
Speaker 1: I said two earlier, but I chopped an hour off
Speaker 1: the show. But it's three o'clock. But glad to be here,
Speaker 1: Glad you are here as well, and always glad to
Speaker 1: welcome in my next guest. He is a prolific writer
Speaker 1: on a website called American Thank are a lot of
Speaker 1: great commentaries on there and doctor Brian Brian June Deppit
Speaker 1: is great to have you back on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: How are you today, Happy New Year to.
Speaker 6: You by it.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm great, Thank you, thanks for being here.
Speaker 1: You know you and I talked about it before the
Speaker 1: election happened. We talked about mont Donnie and how terrible
Speaker 1: this guy was going to be for New York City,
Speaker 1: and talk a little bit about what we witnessed that
Speaker 1: I call it an orgy of socialism. You had Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders there and he was got to swear in mont Donnie,
Speaker 1: and he had aoc talking about how great things are
Speaker 1: going to be for New York City. You had the
Speaker 1: governor there and all of them in full embrace of
Speaker 1: socialism and communism and the celebrating the what they call
Speaker 1: the warmth of the collective. And I mean that is
Speaker 1: a phrase of have a lot of hor historical significance,
Speaker 1: you know, going back to going back to Mother Russia,
Speaker 1: going back to China and mal going back to the Nazi,
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany and all the rest of it. So give
Speaker 1: me your perspective on what we saw when Mondani was
Speaker 1: sworn in in New York City.
Speaker 6: Well, he is going to do everything he promised. None
Speaker 6: of this should be a surprise. He campaigned on collectivism
Speaker 6: and basically a communist platform of nationalizing things or at
Speaker 6: the city level, I shouldn't say nationalizing, but government ownership
Speaker 6: of private property and subsidizing everything. And he is setting
Speaker 6: out to do everything he promised. So people like Robert
Speaker 6: de Niro, who campaigned for him and supported him, don't
Speaker 6: like the idea that he's going to institute a wealth tax,
Speaker 6: Well you supported this. So he's doing everything he said,
Speaker 6: and I give him credit for that. He's one of
Speaker 6: few politicians that's trying to deliver on what they promised.
Speaker 6: I wish Republicans could do that. I don't like his platform,
Speaker 6: but that's he's going to deliver what he said he
Speaker 6: was going to deliver. Bernie Sanders is fine with it
Speaker 6: because of the three homes he owns. I don't think
Speaker 6: anyhere in New York City. I don't know if AOC
Speaker 6: owns property in New York City. So yeah, they can
Speaker 6: confiscate housing and make it difficult for white people, and
Speaker 6: you know, free this and free buses and free subway,
Speaker 6: and it's it's going to turn into Venezuela or Cuba.
Speaker 6: But this is what residents they're voted for. Yeah, he's delivering.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then out in California you've got Gavin Newsom who
Speaker 1: has this idea of a five percent wealth tax on billionaires,
Speaker 1: and I mean, this is just absolutely unbelievable. They've got
Speaker 1: all all these California I mean, the problems that they've
Speaker 1: got out there from a financial standpoint standpoint are absolutely monumental,
Speaker 1: and then he comes out and says, Yeah, we're going
Speaker 1: to hit all the billionaires in California with a five
Speaker 1: percent wealth tax. I mean that, to me, that is
Speaker 1: just absolutely crazy to come out and talk like that
Speaker 1: and think that something like that is has any chance
Speaker 1: in hell of working. I mean, people who have the
Speaker 1: means are going to get get the hell out of there,
Speaker 1: and then they're going to try and tax them retroactively.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's actually crazy.
Speaker 6: I suspect most California billionaires voted for Gavin Newsom, so
Speaker 6: I have little sympathy for them. Again, he's delivering what
Speaker 6: he promised, and those that voted for him have no
Speaker 6: business complaining you put him in office. I suspect California
Speaker 6: will not have many billionaires going forward, they have will
Speaker 6: quickly exit or set up something to protect their wealth,
Speaker 6: especially the very wealthy. If you have one hundred billion
Speaker 6: in wealth, you're going to write a check for five
Speaker 6: billion to the state of California. These people did not
Speaker 6: get wealthy by being stupid, and that's to me, that's
Speaker 6: something very stupid. And once the billionaires leave, then it's
Speaker 6: going to be one hundred millionaires and then the ten millionaires.
Speaker 6: And there's not enough money in the billionaire class to
Speaker 6: sustain all the corruption and waste, fraud and abuse in
Speaker 6: that state, and they're going to have to lower that number.
Speaker 6: People are going to leave, and it's going to happen
Speaker 6: in New York and Colorado and other states that are
Speaker 6: solidly blue and run by collectivists.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the corruption is absolutely staggering, and I think beyond
Speaker 1: what anyone can really comprehend. And Dan Trump is Trump
Speaker 1: is playing hardball in this. He said, look, you guys
Speaker 1: have wasted all this money on this high speed rail.
Speaker 1: We don't know where the hundreds of billions of dollars
Speaker 1: at the federal government has given them so far, but
Speaker 1: there's really been no accounting for where all that money
Speaker 1: has gone. And now they want billions more and Trump said, no,
Speaker 1: we're going to cut it off, and so you know
Speaker 1: they're having to deal with those kind of realities.
Speaker 6: They're auditing a handful of states New York, Minnesota, California,
Speaker 6: my state of Colorado. They're auditing because of waste fraud
Speaker 6: and abuse, and these states are at the forefront of it.
Speaker 6: And no more federal money until there's an accounting of
Speaker 6: where it's going to. If you send a kid to
Speaker 6: college and give them an allowance and they're constantly running
Speaker 6: out of money, guess what, You're going to audit them
Speaker 6: and see what they're spending their money on and figure
Speaker 6: it out. And federal government should be no different. They're
Speaker 6: spending billions of dollars on this stuff. And imagine if
Speaker 6: you could cut the waste fraud in the reviews, you'd
Speaker 6: probably cut the deficit in half. So it's it's mandatory,
Speaker 6: it's physical sanity, and it's about time Trump is doing it,
Speaker 6: and I wish more Republicans would be behind it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing that the whole concept of accountability and
Speaker 1: figuring out what the heck is going on, that whole
Speaker 1: concept is so foreign to so many in politics these days.
Speaker 2: You know what was interesting.
Speaker 1: I texted you on Friday, asked you to be on
Speaker 1: the show today, and you said, what are we going
Speaker 1: to talk about? I said, oh, you know, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about Mondanni and I said, whatever else pops between now
Speaker 1: and then. Unbeknownst to us, of course, we didn't know
Speaker 1: things were in the work to extract Merduro from Venezuela.
Speaker 1: And I was going to introduce you today as a
Speaker 1: guy who has traveled all around the world. I was
Speaker 1: almost certain that you had been to Venezuela before. But
Speaker 1: then you informed me that you have not been to Venezuela.
Speaker 1: First of all, how come you've never been to Venezuela?
Speaker 1: And then second of all, when you got up on
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and saw it was happening in Venezuela, what
Speaker 1: was your what was your overall impression of that?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I looked at my phone in the morning and then telegram.
Speaker 6: There were like five hundred notifications like some big going on.
Speaker 6: I haven't been. I haven't been to Venezuela because getting
Speaker 6: a visa is of pain. They don't have there's no
Speaker 6: US embassy there. You have to apply from another country.
Speaker 6: But I'll get there at some point. But in consolation,
Speaker 6: in October I was in Mogat issue. So how's that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, you know some rough places, my friend.
Speaker 2: I've read those pieces that you put out when you
Speaker 2: travel some of those locations around the world. I mean,
Speaker 2: you you have been there and done that. But uh As,
Speaker 2: let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: We know that the vast majority of voters in New
Speaker 1: York City have no concept of what socialism is all about,
Speaker 1: what communism is all about, how it you know, what
Speaker 1: the timeline on those things are, how it starts, how
Speaker 1: it goes, and how it ends. We know they have
Speaker 1: no concept of that. Do you think the vast majority
Speaker 1: of the American people have any real concept of what
Speaker 1: life is like for an average Venezuelan on a daily basis.
Speaker 6: They have no idea, and they're going to get a
Speaker 6: hands on training and apprenticeship, if you will, and they
Speaker 6: will learn from firsthand. What's interesting is that in New
Speaker 6: York and a lot of other cities, the Venezuelans that
Speaker 6: are here, they're all cheering, dancing in the street, partying,
Speaker 6: celebrating the Maduro's gone. Who are the protesters? The protesters
Speaker 6: are your typical rental mob, the affluent female liberals, predominantly
Speaker 6: the middle aged, childless women with blue hair, and they're
Speaker 6: out protesting because they're down for the struggle. The ones
Speaker 6: that live on the Upper East Side and they're not
Speaker 6: struggling with anything. But the Venezuelans, the ones that actually
Speaker 6: benefit from this. They're cheering, they're delighted, and that's around
Speaker 6: the world. Venezuelans are thrilled. The protesters are the ones
Speaker 6: that have never been to Venezuela and know nothing about it,
Speaker 6: and their lives are hardly socialists. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I over the weekend I saw pictures from the anti
Speaker 1: Trump demonstrations that were thrown together quite hastily, and they
Speaker 1: were held in New York, they were held in Boston, Chicago,
Speaker 1: we had we had an anti Trump demonstration here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And what I thought was interesting was at all these
Speaker 1: demonstrations at all these different cities across America, you had
Speaker 1: some of the exact same signs printed professionally printed, exact
Speaker 1: same wording, exact same disclaimer at the bottom who the
Speaker 1: sign was paid for. So that, I mean, that tells
Speaker 1: you that that these organizations, that these protests, these demonstrations,
Speaker 1: they're not grassroots. I mean they're they're they're paid political
Speaker 1: actors who show up at these things. And when you
Speaker 1: get these different journalists, these civilian journalists who go in
Speaker 1: there and ask some questions, ask these people why they're there,
Speaker 1: they don't know why they're there. And it's the same
Speaker 1: thing we saw on college campuses a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: well when we had you know, they were calling for
Speaker 1: to end the war in Gaza and all the rest
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: It's the same sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Fine, if you want to protest, by all means, go
Speaker 1: out and protest, but is it asking too much that
Speaker 1: you have at least some clue as to what you're
Speaker 1: talking about? All these young college kids chanting from the
Speaker 1: rivers to the sea and they have no clue of
Speaker 1: what it means.
Speaker 6: You're correct. These people couldn't find Venezuela on a map,
Speaker 6: so they don't know what they're protesting. And it certainly
Speaker 6: wasn't organic. This was all cooked up. It was the
Speaker 6: next morning. This raid went down at like two am,
Speaker 6: and the next morning there's pre printed signs and people
Speaker 6: bust in and they're protesting and they have their slogans.
Speaker 6: And that's that. You can't pull that off at a
Speaker 6: grass roots level. And as you said, these are professionally
Speaker 6: printed signs and the slogans, and it's the same people.
Speaker 5: They're they're.
Speaker 6: Some Internet salutes have taken photos of these rallies and
Speaker 6: it's the same people at all of them. They've geo
Speaker 6: fenced these people, and most of the people protesting have
Speaker 6: been at No King's rallies and this rally and that rally,
Speaker 6: and it's these are professional protesters. And there's craiglist ads
Speaker 6: that are looking for protesters. They pay thirty dollars an
Speaker 6: hour to pick up the sign in march and chant something,
Speaker 6: and you have no idea what you're protesting. I mean
Speaker 6: the interview these people they don't know. They they just
Speaker 6: hem and haw but can't answer a simple question of
Speaker 6: what they're protesting or why.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess to their credit, they're they're doing something
Speaker 1: that's a fairly easy task. It doesn't take a whole
Speaker 1: lot of your time, and you know, you probably pocket
Speaker 1: a few hundred dollars on you know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. So I guess at least they get
Speaker 1: some credit for that, for for seizing that uh, you
Speaker 1: know that.
Speaker 6: That opportunity they're engaging in the capitalism that they protested.
Speaker 6: How about that. Absolutely, they're out there, they're they're out
Speaker 6: there earning a buck in the free market because somebody
Speaker 6: is willing to pay them for the service that they provide.
Speaker 6: And socialism, you know, you'll you'll have a gun to
Speaker 6: your head untild to March. That's the difference. You're not
Speaker 6: going to get thirty dollars an hour and lunch and
Speaker 6: the a bus ride into the city.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Long term from a political sense, Trump And the one
Speaker 1: thing that I'm not having a great time getting my
Speaker 1: head around is this notion that that Trump laid out
Speaker 1: when he had his news conference on Saturday talking about Venezuela,
Speaker 1: was the notion that either him or his administration or
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio was going to be overseeing things or calling
Speaker 1: the shots in Venezuela. I don't I don't know how
Speaker 1: that is sustainable in in a practical sense for any
Speaker 1: real amount of time. Is what's the danger here? And
Speaker 1: from a political sense, does this hurt him in the
Speaker 1: midterms if things do not go the way he envisions
Speaker 1: this playing out long term?
Speaker 6: Well, potentially, the US has a long track record of
Speaker 6: failed efforts at regime change. You look at Saddam Hussein
Speaker 6: and Kadafi, and those are two countries I've been to
Speaker 6: by the way, Libya and Iraq. But you look at
Speaker 6: regime change even ran back in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 6: When we prop up somebody and take somebody out, it
Speaker 6: usually goes badly. Trump's aware of this because he's been
Speaker 6: very critical of our efforts at regime change in nation building.
Speaker 6: He was critical of the Iraq War and all these things.
Speaker 6: So he's aware, and I don't think he's going to
Speaker 6: fall into that trap. I'm sure they have a plan
Speaker 6: laid out. Is he going to announce everything he's doing.
Speaker 6: Of course not. But if it does become a quagmire,
Speaker 6: then that's a problem for him. But I don't think
Speaker 6: it will, and I think it's part of a bigger strategy,
Speaker 6: his national security strategy that he laid out a month
Speaker 6: or two ago, about kind of going back to the
Speaker 6: Monroe doctrine of US having influence in our hemisphere. Right now,
Speaker 6: you've got Iran, Iraq and no sorry, Iran, Russia and
Speaker 6: China involved in Venezuela. Venezuela is making drones for Iran.
Speaker 6: These are drones that are being sent to Israel and
Speaker 6: attacking them. So it's crazy. But China and Russia shouldn't
Speaker 6: have influence. China's buying up South America and the Caribbean,
Speaker 6: and we don't want that. So I think this is
Speaker 6: part of a bigger push against Cuba, against Colombia, against
Speaker 6: Caribbean nations that are in bed with China and Russia.
Speaker 6: China setting up shop in Antigua, that's a few hundred
Speaker 6: miles from the US. Who knows what they have their
Speaker 6: listening posts or military or whatever. But maybe we should
Speaker 6: set up a joint military base in Taiwan and create
Speaker 6: an autonomous US city there and spy in the Chinese
Speaker 6: from Taiwan. See how they like it. Yeah, I think
Speaker 6: it's I think it's cleaning up all these foreign actors
Speaker 6: in our neighborhood. Russia and China can bunky around over
Speaker 6: in Europe and Asia and Middle East and whatnot, but
Speaker 6: not not in our backyard. That's Cuban missile crisis territory.
Speaker 6: So JFK took a stand against that, and Trump is
Speaker 6: taking a stand against it now and slowly untangling that.
Speaker 6: And I think Venezuela is just a start. He put
Speaker 6: the world unnoticed that this is going to change, and
Speaker 6: he's gonna control oil, which is the andcy of the world,
Speaker 6: and it's going to be the screws are going to
Speaker 6: be put to Russia in China. All Right, A lot
Speaker 6: of it we love to see or know about, but
Speaker 6: I'm sure that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a there's no doubt. There's a lot.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts out there right now.
Speaker 1: Doctor Bryan C. June, Great to have you on as always.
Speaker 1: What what are you working on for your next piece?
Speaker 1: It's going to show up an American thinker.
Speaker 6: Well, I had a piece this Monday and American Thinker
Speaker 6: on Christmas and how merry Christmas is making a comeback
Speaker 6: over absolutely the very pablem sounding happy Holidays. And I'm
Speaker 6: working on a piece for the next next week on waste,
Speaker 6: fraud and abuse and tariffs, and between the two, I
Speaker 6: think that could eliminate close to half the deficit right there.
Speaker 6: So I commend Trump for what he's doing and hope
Speaker 6: he continues.
Speaker 1: Yeah, next time we'll talk about all the all the
Speaker 1: all the fraud and abuse that's associated with Obamacare too.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've got got some thoughts on that as well.
Speaker 6: Tell me about that that insurance companies have done very
Speaker 6: well over the past decade.
Speaker 1: Some big numbers, big numbers, right there, Brian June Deff.
Speaker 1: We got to run all the best to you, my friend.
Speaker 1: We'll talk again soon and keep up the great work between.
Speaker 2: Now and then.
Speaker 6: Thanks Dan, good talking.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, doctor Bryan ced June Deff,
Speaker 1: and you can read his stuff on the website American Thinker.
Speaker 1: It is two twenty five. Dan Carrolyn for Bill Cunningham
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 13: I had a tip for young broadcasters. Uh oh, our
Speaker 13: young aspiring broadcasters, if you're trying to race to the
Speaker 13: restaurant in between innings, make sure that you read this
Speaker 13: sign on the door.
Speaker 9: Oh no, Parnart takes up an end ball. One one
Speaker 9: is women's, the other one is men's.
Speaker 2: I take it.
Speaker 9: Cowboy went in the one, uh oh, and retreated rapidly.
Speaker 9: Crowball the first fielded by walker man. It'll touch the
Speaker 9: bag for the out three unassisted. These types of things
Speaker 9: happen to you from they.
Speaker 6: Do they do.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand it.
Speaker 12: Oh hello, quiet, and I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Seg you know, I listened to a lot of REDS
Speaker 1: broadcasts here on seven hundred wl W, and it's always
Speaker 1: great when you got the Cowboy and you got Tommy Thrall,
Speaker 1: and then they get off on a little tangent talking
Speaker 1: about stuff.
Speaker 2: I forgot you gotta go. I've heard a lot of those.
Speaker 2: I've never heard that one. Look for the right sign
Speaker 2: and when you gotta go, I miss in between innings
Speaker 2: or anything.
Speaker 1: So he threw that out there as a a little
Speaker 1: tip for all a spying broadcasters and between innings.
Speaker 2: I mean, you've only got what two minutes, not even
Speaker 2: that anymore, not less than that? Now, right? How about that?
Speaker 1: So so they keep it moving correct, So if you
Speaker 1: if you've got to go down the hall, how far
Speaker 1: from from.
Speaker 2: Me, they don't put a you know what and the
Speaker 2: radio booth for him, right or a bathroom closer there?
Speaker 2: You go, maybe that maybe that's a good idea, that
Speaker 2: maybe that'll be that'll be happening at g A BP
Speaker 2: A radio TV.
Speaker 1: You're gonna say, I've never been to the broadcast booth
Speaker 1: of g A b P. But how far away is
Speaker 1: the facility there?
Speaker 2: So you go down that way over here, over down
Speaker 2: another hall, and then it's right, I've been in the
Speaker 2: press box. It's been a while since I've been in
Speaker 2: the press box. I can't remember how far the press
Speaker 2: box is in the third base line now, yeah, instead
Speaker 2: of behind where it should be. But I'm not they
Speaker 2: got a big sponsor in there another bar, so I'm
Speaker 2: not saying anything, Okay, Dan Carroll, the Stuart Reporters a
Speaker 2: proud sever every local Thamestar heating and air conditioning dealers
Speaker 2: Tamestar quality you could feel in beautiful mil Ford, the
Speaker 2: home of one main gallery called Baker Heating, right down
Speaker 2: the street at five one three eight three one fifty
Speaker 2: one twenty four.
Speaker 1: But how many other broadcast teams do you think talk
Speaker 1: about stuff like that while the game is going on?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's the thing I here about Cincinnati. I think
Speaker 1: we've got we have so much fun listening to baseball
Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati, right. I don't know if other markets.
Speaker 2: Getting probably probably a few, maybe a few not probably,
Speaker 2: you know, La, probably not not many are going to
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? When you got the
Speaker 2: cowboy talking about going in the wrong bathroom, watch out
Speaker 2: for the sign cal tipping. Marty had no idea what
Speaker 2: that was. Where you go out and I guess the
Speaker 2: cows sleep standing out and you tip them over over
Speaker 2: and I guess they don't they don't like that too much,
Speaker 2: and the other one come after you. That's big fun.
Speaker 2: Or maybe get a play to ribs or some ice
Speaker 2: cream ribs and then the ice cream melts on you
Speaker 2: as you fall asleep. And probably not a lot of
Speaker 2: guys even want to admit that happens with the Cowboy.
Speaker 2: That's probably typical night.
Speaker 1: And when you talk about stuff like that, you become
Speaker 1: an award winning broadcast.
Speaker 2: Correct, that's fantastic, And the Cowboy Jeff Brantley has been
Speaker 2: named the National Sports Media Association Ohio Sportscaster of the Year.
Speaker 2: So he congratulate the Cowboys and a big award. That
Speaker 2: is out. I'm smiling. Bengals update brought to you by

Speaker 2: guess his incident happened in September. Let's see issued two
Speaker 2: sets of tickets.
Speaker 13: Oh the communications you have, you can talk to people anytime, anywhere, time, anywhere.
Speaker 2: So you got two sets of tickets in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: The first came in June driving a twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: Dodge Charger recklessly on four Street Downtown. Then the second
Speaker 2: set of tickets came in September when he was street racing.
Speaker 2: Whoops on Joe nuxall Way. Whoopsie.
Speaker 1: But and he doesn't have a driver's license. It says,
Speaker 1: I mean you can't. It's it's not that hard to
Speaker 1: get it. It's it I mean, look, it's no picnic
Speaker 1: going to the DMV sitting there waiting to get your
Speaker 1: driver's license. You got to look in the thing, and
Speaker 1: you got to you know, say, you know what, you
Speaker 1: see the light flashing over here, the light flashing over there.
Speaker 1: You gotta do that kind of stuff and get your
Speaker 1: pictures taken. Leave the driver's license, man, Leave.
Speaker 2: The drag racing to guys like John Force, Ron Caps
Speaker 2: and people like this. Come on, well, leave it just
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, it's got the NHR. It's not
Speaker 2: the NHR finals along marrying way, but come on, man,
Speaker 2: get a driver's license. College basketball tonight, plenty of it.
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bearcats are on the road and Big twelve play
Speaker 2: against West Virginia. Coverage against six thirty after Sports Talk
Speaker 2: seven under WLW Western Michigan's at number fifteen fifteen and
Speaker 2: O Miami fifteen. Miami still no defeated right there. They're
Speaker 2: the rated thirtieth in the nation. They're at thirtieth. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they got twenty two votes. They're getting some votes. They're
Speaker 2: getting close. I thought they'd get in this week. Is
Speaker 2: the mac any good this year? Oh, Miami's good. That's
Speaker 2: all we were. That's it. Let's go, my let's see.
Speaker 2: George Washington takes on the Dayton Flyers U Mass against
Speaker 2: Tom Brenneman's ou Bobcats six ranked Duke battles number twenty
Speaker 2: Louisville and an early ACC matchup should be pretty good.
Speaker 2: Louisville's pretty good. They got whipped by good old Stanford
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Let's see college football. Let's see a
Speaker 2: lot of people are leaving the Bearcats, but one guy's
Speaker 2: coming back. Safety Antoine Pete Junior says he's going to
Speaker 2: return to the Bearcats. Their best defensive player last year
Speaker 2: was sixty tackles. What kind of nil money is he getting?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Do they do they publish that somewhere?
Speaker 6: Do they mean?
Speaker 2: I guess on their website?
Speaker 6: One?
Speaker 2: No, I mean I don't care. I don't care, but
Speaker 2: different of me. I mean, you know who stays, who goes.
Speaker 2: But I saw it. I saw a thing.
Speaker 1: I saw a thing this week where they were they
Speaker 1: had pictures of like the top twenty five nil deals
Speaker 1: in college football, right right?
Speaker 2: And I think Brandon Soorsby was the number one quarterback, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like number number one or two overall? Five million from Texas. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Andy Mack unbelievable, So good luck to him. And I
Speaker 2: think the Bearcats play them here next year, really, I
Speaker 2: think so so sores By will be suiting up for
Speaker 2: the Red Raiders correct the home with Joe Walter. Who's
Speaker 2: gonna win that game? I have no idea. I'm sure
Speaker 2: some of the Bearcats will probably want to get a
Speaker 2: hold of mister sores By, like Miles Garrett wanted to
Speaker 2: get a hold of somebody on Sunday. See, we'll see,
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. But it should be interesting. I mean,
Speaker 2: the money is crazy, that is correct. But if you're
Speaker 2: going to be d racing downtown, you got to get
Speaker 2: a license. Yeah, and then maybe you probably shouldn't be
Speaker 2: drag racing anyway. Maybe he ought to leave football and
Speaker 2: go to pro stock in the NHR or something. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Is he a good driver? I don't know,
Speaker 2: got it. We got to get some reports from the
Speaker 2: drag races out there and see how he was.
Speaker 1: Don't go out to Edgewater so seg We have the
Speaker 1: swearing in of af tab Purvall today. And during the campaign,
Speaker 1: you know they talked about safety was the big issue,
Speaker 1: the number one issue, right, So af tab Purvall comes
Speaker 1: out today and says, hey, uh, you know, we we
Speaker 1: need we need to address a crime in this city, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: and so therefore I'm going to need to raise taxes.
Speaker 2: So they've got it. They've got all this.
Speaker 1: Money they spent on the curfew. They spent on these
Speaker 1: things where you know, if if you get busted for
Speaker 1: the curfew, you can go. You're a kid, you can
Speaker 1: go and hang out. Not one teenager used it. They
Speaker 1: got all this money they spent on iris rollie. They
Speaker 1: had all this money they spent on passing out eight
Speaker 1: and a half million under protests, eight and a half
Speaker 1: million for the protesters eight point one million. Spend money
Speaker 1: on passing out snacks and coloring books down there at
Speaker 1: the Government Square.
Speaker 6: Come.
Speaker 2: I didn't get there. Well, I mean you've got to
Speaker 2: go ride the bus, okay, you know metro here I come.
Speaker 2: But they got they got money for all that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff.
Speaker 1: But now he says, if we're going to address crime,
Speaker 1: we got to have some more got to have some
Speaker 1: more of your taxes, have some more money.
Speaker 2: How big is that going to go over? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, you know, I I was talking about
Speaker 1: this earlier that I don't remember him talking about that
Speaker 1: during the campaign. Well, today the campaign's over, of course,
Speaker 1: so today he gets inaugurated and says, hey, let's uh
Speaker 1: city council, you're gonna get busy raising.
Speaker 2: Some taxes for me. So there you go, and and
Speaker 2: and now and not surprising, he's going to get serious
Speaker 2: about addressing crime. Okay, that's what. What about the cychon
Speaker 2: throw more money at it. That's what they ought to do.
Speaker 2: Now the cyclone has been doing since the strike is over. Uh,
Speaker 2: they lost over the weekend at two in a row
Speaker 2: to Toledo, so that that was a big three day
Speaker 2: strike that they did.
Speaker 1: You should go back on striking practice a little bit.
Speaker 1: So we can't play until we learn't know in some
Speaker 1: games they're trying. So all right, seg get us out
Speaker 1: of the stooge report.
Speaker 2: Dan in honor of a cloudy day here in the
Speaker 2: Tri State, but nice temperatures for once. Come on then,
Speaker 2: and I think a year ago we got ten inches
Speaker 2: of snow on the ground.
Speaker 6: Was it this day?
Speaker 2: A year ago?
Speaker 6: I think? So were you were?
Speaker 2: I wasn't sitting here with you here? Yeah, you were
Speaker 2: about twenty miles north. We leave you with the immortal
Speaker 2: words of the stewed report. Boy, it is party time.
Speaker 2: Tonight at the Cowboys crib. I bet it is Sports
Speaker 2: broadcaster of the Year. I bet you flew in ribs
Speaker 2: and Montgomery and sauce and chips and ice cream and everything.
Speaker 2: Big party tonight at the Cowboys House. Maybe tomorrow will
Speaker 2: answer your call. Maybe so, maybe so.
Speaker 1: Seg We'll see you, yes, sir, on the Home of
Speaker 1: Jeff Brantley. Seven hundred WLW Back on the Big One,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW two fifty five. We rolled till three
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Dan Carroll and Bill Cunningham, Eddie and Rocky
Speaker 1: coming up next. I will be back here Friday for
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, so I'm looking forward to that. In between times,
Speaker 1: I got my regular shows on Wednesday and Thursday Night
Speaker 1: this week. I call it the midweek Crisis Wednesday Night
Speaker 1: and Thursday Night, so I'm looking forward to that. One
Speaker 1: of the questions I'm going to have tomorrow night is
Speaker 1: based on something I saw on my social media, and
Speaker 1: I've seen various forms of this over the last I
Speaker 1: don't know week, ten days or so, and got all
Speaker 1: these people out there talking about how Trump voters are
Speaker 1: experiencing buyer's remorse. Some dude named Alan Lichtman who is
Speaker 1: some liberal pundit, and he is a guy who predicted
Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris would win in a landslide. So that
Speaker 1: shows you how politically astute this guy is. Is out
Speaker 1: there making the claim now that Trump voters are experiencing
Speaker 1: buyer's remorse. So I don't have time for your phone
Speaker 1: calls right now, but tomorrow night and Thursday night, I'll
Speaker 1: be happy to take your phone calls on that. I
Speaker 1: responded to a similar statement like this on my social
Speaker 1: media a few days ago, and I said, you know
Speaker 1: what I said, I don't know anyone. I said, I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people who voted for Trump, a
Speaker 1: lot of people who voted for Trump, and I don't
Speaker 1: know anyone.
Speaker 2: Not a single one.
Speaker 1: Has expressed to me or anyone I know regret in
Speaker 1: casting that vote, saying, ah, man man, I voted for
Speaker 1: this guy. I'm sorry that he's president. Now I'm really
Speaker 1: mad at myself for voting for that dude. That has
Speaker 1: not happened a single time. And so that hasn't happened
Speaker 1: for me. And so my question is going to be
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, on my show on Wednesday night, has that
Speaker 1: happened to you? Anyone that you know of has come
Speaker 1: up to you and said, you know what, I voted
Speaker 1: for this dude, I shouldn't have done it.
Speaker 2: That's bad on me.
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I would have voted for Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris instead, or maybe some other candidate. But pretty much
Speaker 1: there was only two candidates this last time out. If
Speaker 1: you didn't vote for Trump, then you voted for Kamala Harrison,
Speaker 1: maybe you didn't vote at all. But is there a
Speaker 1: growing sentiment out there that people who voted for Trump
Speaker 1: are feeling bad about that now, especially in the wake
Speaker 1: of what happened in Venezuela with Maduro and this whole
Speaker 1: notion that we, you know, there's a possibility now that
Speaker 1: we could have boots on the ground. I don't want that.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody else wants that. I certainly hope
Speaker 1: that as this thing unfolds, that is it seems to
Speaker 1: be the least or the option that we want to
Speaker 1: happen the very least. We don't want that to happen
Speaker 1: at all. But if it does happen, he's going to
Speaker 1: have to have a damn good reason as to why
Speaker 1: it is happening. And I don't know that there's one
Speaker 1: out there. So just being honest about this, still supporting
Speaker 1: the guy, not sorry I voted for him. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna why. I think it's gonna wind up being
Speaker 1: a great thing. But we get troops on the ground
Speaker 1: there and shots start flying back and forth.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be happy about that.
Speaker 1: So that's a little preview of what are we going
Speaker 1: to talk about tomorrow night, And there's going to be
Speaker 1: a whole lot more than that, So I invite you
Speaker 1: to tune in.
Speaker 6: Then.
Speaker 1: One of the other things that we're talking about, the
Speaker 1: ten good news story he's from twenty twenty five that
Speaker 1: national media didn't really spend a whole lot of time
Speaker 1: talking about. Probably happy that you didn't see it, because
Speaker 1: of course, anything that's good accrues to the benefit of
Speaker 1: the Trumpster, and they don't want that. And what of
Speaker 1: them has to do with the stock market? The stock
Speaker 1: market was up, increase seventeen percent, stock market up, crime
Speaker 1: was down. What about illegal immigration, the border being closed?
Speaker 1: How many stories do you see about that on a
Speaker 1: regular basis. Now, some of the experts I talked to
Speaker 1: who are out there are talking about how it's like
Speaker 1: night and day at the border now compared.
Speaker 2: To what it used to be.
Speaker 1: So that's going to be on my shows tomorrow night
Speaker 1: and Thursday night, and I hope you can join me then.
