We have a grooming bill 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: in Frankfort which might become law at some point. We 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: have the microphone seized from the hands of Congress from 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: Thomas Massey at Oldham County.

We're gonna deal 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: with this later today. Princeton High School had a circumstance 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: where the teachers, administrators, and some students wanted to walk 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: out in protest of law enforcement, specifically ICE, and they 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: wanted to stop school et cetera, which is sweeping the country. 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: Is there any of that happened in northern ENTI Talucky 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: to your. 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: Knowledge, Willie. 19 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: First of all, thanks for having me back on. 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 4: It's you know, it's great to be back on your show, 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 4: especially now that the Suns back out. The days are brighter, 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 4: a little bit warmer. Everything is improving now that all 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 4: everything is turned the weather, me on your show, the news, 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 4: you name it. 25 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 3: We got plenty to talk about. Walkouts. 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 4: Yes, of course, Willy, they're happening everywhere. I mean, what 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 4: high school kid. It doesn't matter who they're protesting. They 28 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: might not even know who they're protesting. All they know 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 4: is they want to get out of math class, or 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,279 Speaker 4: history class, or science class or whatever it is, especially 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 4: if they've got to test her a quiz, Willy, they'll 32 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 4: protest anybody. They might protest to you and me for 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 4: all we know, if it get them out of science 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 4: class or out of their English quiz. So sure, it's 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 4: happening in northern Kentucky. It's happening everywhere. 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about and number one, I can't recall at 37 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: Deer Park High School that ever happening. To use children 38 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: as political props to advance a left wing agenda is disgusting. 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: I had a parent call me from Princeton saying my 40 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: sixteen year old girl was taken out a class, walked 41 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: across the street to march around the football stadium and 42 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: protest of ice. And she said I'm outraged by this. 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: I like what Ice is doing. Keep doing what you're 44 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: doing to have my kid as political prop against their 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: will is something. But let's talk about Thomas Massey once again. 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Yesterday there was an effort in the Congress to advance 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: the funding of DHS, which, by the way, Ice is 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: not part of that. They're funded through twenty twenty nine. 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: So even though the Democrats are acting, he said, Okay, 50 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: let's defund ICE and we can actually do that. 51 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: No, you can. 52 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: That would defund TSA and some other activities. But Thomas 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: Massey was one of three or four Republicans to torpedo 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: that we have. Also the Thomas Massey situation at Oldham 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: County in Kentucky in which he's given a speech and 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: the microphone is grabbed from his hands. Do you have 57 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: a sense politically, before we get to the law matters, 58 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: that Thomas Massey's losing some of his panache. 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 4: Well, Willie, I think that he's certainly become even more controversial, 60 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 4: if that's even possible. But it's come down to the 61 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: audacity that Thomas has and I say that tongue in cheek, 62 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: but the moxie he has the backbone he has. I'm 63 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: not sure if I'm allowed to say balls on the radio, 64 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: but certainly he's got big ones anybody that's taken on 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 4: President Trump. That's what it comes down to about whether 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 4: or not people in the Republican Party are going to 67 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 4: be blindly loyal to the president what he says goes, 68 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 4: or whether they're. 69 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: Going to be principled. And that's what Thomas Massy is. 70 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: And is he going to lose some boats for fighting 71 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: with the president? 72 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely. 73 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 4: Is he going to lose so many votes that it 74 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 4: costs him his seat in Congress, It's possible, but I 75 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: really don't think so. I think Thomas is a lot 76 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: stronger in northern Kentucky in the fourth Congressional District than 77 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 4: people give him credit for, especially people that aren't from here. 78 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 4: The news media, I think they like the drama, they 79 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: like to see the in fighting. They like seeing Republican 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: on Republican violence, if that's what you want to call it. Really, 81 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: I think that this is healthy for everybody. I think 82 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 4: it's very important that we have somebody like Tom Massy 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: to remind people the government spending is out of control, 84 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: that the debt, the national debt is out of hand, 85 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 4: that we can't just keep giving money away to foreign 86 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 4: nations and foreign charities and running or funding foreign wars. 87 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: Sooner or later, I mean, it's probably gotten so big 88 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: now that you and I won't be paying for it, 89 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 4: but our kids, our grandkids, and our great grandkids will 90 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 4: all be paying for all this spending, out of control 91 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 4: spending that the government's doing right now. I mean, Thomas 92 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 4: brings a lot of attention to that fact. I think 93 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 4: it's a lot of attention that a lot of Republicans 94 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 4: in Washington don't want brought to the out of control 95 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 4: spending because they don't want to have to put away 96 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: the checkbook. They like blowing our tax dollars on whatever 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: their pet projects are. It doesn't matter who's in control, Republican, 98 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 4: Democrat or otherwise. Whoever is in control, likes having the checkbook, 99 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: and they like spending money on whatever their pet projects are. 100 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: Nobody wants to turn that to pickt off. Even though 101 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 4: whenever they aren't in power, they're constantly complaining about the spending, 102 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 4: the out of control spending of the other party. But 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: Thomas has pushed that that fiscal responsibility as well as 104 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: he's been the main driver about the release of the 105 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 4: Epstein files. Now, I don't understand how President Trump can 106 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 4: campaign for election on. 107 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: Release the Epstein files. 108 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 4: And I don't think anybody would contest or argue with 109 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 4: me when I say that he made that a staple 110 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: of his campaign. Then once he got in office for 111 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: reasons I don't entirely understand, he totally changed his tune. 112 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 4: But that's something that at least from my perspective and 113 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 4: all the people that I see Republican, Democrat, independent. Otherwise, 114 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: if there is one thing everybody can agree on, it's 115 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 4: that they hate child traffickers and pedophiles and anybody that's 116 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: using their power to victimize children. And I think there's 117 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: been so much attention brought to the Epstein files, most 118 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 4: of it by the President himself during his campaign, that 119 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's letting that go. And if you 120 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: are a happy about the fact that the Epstein files 121 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 4: are finally starting to trickle out into the public realm 122 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: to where we can shed some light on exactly what 123 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: was uncovered during that investigation, then you know, for better 124 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 4: and for worse, who was a part of it, who 125 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 4: was not, who had maybe was falsely accused of something 126 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 4: versus who legitimately ran around, did business with, hung out with, 127 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: socialized with Epstein. These are all the things everybody wants 128 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 4: to know, regardless of political affiliation. And right now you 129 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: only had one Republican to thank for that being public, 130 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 4: and that's Thomas Massey. I think that resonates with voters 131 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 4: of this congressional district. 132 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: And as much as they. 133 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 4: Like most of President Trump's policies and most of what 134 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: he does, and most of his finger that he routinely 135 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: sticks in the eye of the national media, I think 136 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: they're going to sign with Thomas on this one. 137 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: I think they'll return him to office. 138 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: All right. 139 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: And so the primary is coming up. He's got a 140 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: legitimate opponent. That guy appears to have all the profit, 141 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: he's got the qualifications, got the credentials, doesn't have a 142 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: name ID. In fact, off the top of my head, 143 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: I can't name the guy he's running against. I've seen 144 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: a few of the commercials, and I don't hear a 145 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: lot on radio, but on TV I see the commercials. 146 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: So you're saying Massy is safe. One thing, I would 147 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: note that the recent Epstein files proved that. In twenty 148 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: oh six, May I say twenty years ago, Donald Trump 149 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: sent an email to the sheriff of Palm Beach County saying, 150 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: keep an eye on this guy. His name's Jeffrey Epstein. 151 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: He's a creep and that should have absolved which any involvement. 152 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump himself also in twenty nineteen under Donald Trump. 153 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: Epstein was indicted. 154 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: Under Donald Trump, Julane Maxwell was indicted under Donald Trump. 155 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: He proceeded to go after Epstein, and the Democrats never 156 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: did that. In fact, for the eight years of Obama, 157 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: in the four years of Biden, we heard nothing, zero zilch, 158 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: not about Jeffrey Epstein. But the Democrats think they can 159 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: drive this thing right through the heart of the Trump presidency. 160 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: It's not working out that way, so now they're switching. 161 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: If you did something wrong, have ad it. The statute's 162 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: long run out, by the way, on any sex activity 163 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: with miners in the state of Florida or New York, 164 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: it ran out years ago. Civilly, there's been tens of 165 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: millions of dollars created to be handed out to the victims, 166 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: tens and that's growing. Every bank, every brokerage firm that 167 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: had anything to do with Epstein's being sued. One bank 168 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: paid one hundred million dollars. I think it was wells 169 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: Fargo to put into the fund to compensate the women 170 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: who will be well compensated. Those criminally responsible should have 171 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: been charged years ago, and Trump is the instrumentality charging 172 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen after an eighteen month investigation by the 173 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York. 174 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: By the way, Ellie honeyg on CNN and also James 175 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Comey's daughter not exactly friends of Donald Trump, conducted that 176 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: investigation for eighteen months and found no involvement in Donald Trump. 177 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: And of course Elie Honig said, we indicted the only 178 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: two people criminally responsible. Those two people were Epstein and 179 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Julane Maxwell. We could not find enough criminal evidence to 180 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: indict anybody else. And that was in twenty nineteen under 181 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And at the time the Trump's just said, well, 182 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: if the chips fall over, they may eighteen months investigation, 183 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: federal grand jury, subpoena, piate depositions, full investigation. They found 184 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: two people involved, where the others involved. Absolutely, did the 185 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: statute run? Absolutely? Is there a pot of gold now 186 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: for the victims to be compensated? 187 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely? I'm with you on that. 188 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: Now, lastly, before I let you go, there's a big 189 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: bill pending in Frankfort, Kentucky. Explained that to the American people, 190 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: this is more or less related in his sense, to Epstein. 191 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: It is, Willie, there is a bill. It's House bill. 192 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 4: For anytime a bill gets a single digit number like that, 193 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 4: it means it's a priority for the party in control 194 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: of Frankfort, which of course is Republicans, with an overwhelming 195 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: majority of veto proof majority in both the House and 196 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 4: the Senate. House Bill four would outlaw grooming in Kentucky. 197 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 4: And it's basically something that we have known that is 198 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 4: going on for years all across the country. But when 199 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: pedophiles are caught grooming children for their sexual activities, for 200 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 4: their gross sexual crimes against children, there was little to 201 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 4: nothing that law enforcement and prosecutors could do about it 202 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 4: without an actual sex crime, like an actual rape or 203 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 4: an actual asodomy. But now when this bill passes, and 204 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: I'm confident that it will in fact pass, it's already 205 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 4: come out of the House. House Bill four has been 206 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 4: sent to the Senate. We still have about a month 207 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 4: of our legislative session left for it to pass, and 208 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 4: I'm confident it will. When the Senate passes is out, 209 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 4: it will be illegal for anyone to groom children for 210 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 4: sexual activity in Kentucky. Will give police and prosecutors much 211 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: greater tools, hopefully to stop these pedophiles before they actually 212 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: rape and sodomize our children. We can get out there, 213 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 4: make sure it stops good, and hold those that engage 214 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: in this activity accountable, hopefully before another child is victimized. 215 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: Of course, you know, we'll still have all the other 216 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: laws in our war chest to go after the pedophiles 217 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 4: that do pray on children, but hopefully we can save 218 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: some before those sex crimes ever take place. 219 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: Now, could you be specific about grooming? I understand what 220 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: that means, but I think many do not. Well, give 221 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: me an example, maybe in your history in Kutton County? 222 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: What is grooming? Is it a girl Scout leader, a 223 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: boy Scout leader? Is it a teacher? Is it a coach? 224 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: How does grooming work? 225 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: Really? 226 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: Over the last twenty years that I've been prosecuted, we've 227 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 4: seen this in a number of different ways. It's almost 228 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 4: always someone in a position of authority, a teacher, a coach, 229 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 4: a guidance counselor a principal, a band director, you name it. 230 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 4: We've seen somebody in about every position of authority that 231 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 4: could possibly have that trust abused. They've done it. They've 232 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 4: done it by taking the children on field trips, out 233 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 4: to movies. They buy the children gifts, but mostly they 234 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 4: pay special attention to the children, but not the kind 235 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: of special attention that you want for a child. They're 236 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 4: having clandestine communications with children, either on applications that deletes 237 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: the messages after they've been read, or deletes the photos 238 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 4: after they've been seen on computers, on cell phones. You know, 239 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: these days, with kids having cell phones at younger and 240 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 4: younger ages, it just gives more and more access via 241 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: the cell phones, via the. 242 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: Internet to our children. 243 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 4: And those people that we should have to worry about least, 244 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 4: the ones that we trust our children to every day, 245 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 4: the teachers, the principals, the coaches, the counselors, you name it. 246 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 4: Those are the people on rare occasions, fortunately it's rare, 247 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 4: but it's still all too common. They're the ones that 248 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: violate that trust. The people that are in positions that 249 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 4: should be the last person that any parent has to 250 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: worry about, they are the ones that go pay this 251 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: special attention, usually to vulnerable children. You know, they don't 252 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: usually pray on children that come from happy, healthy homes 253 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 4: with plenty of resources and a mom and dad. 254 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: Intact, they're usually. 255 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: Praying on the vulnerable children that are susceptible to this 256 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 4: special attention that they get paid, whether it's through gifts 257 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 4: or money or trips or whatever that these people are 258 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: using in order to violate this child's trust, which is 259 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: eventually what happens once they use that access to the 260 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: child and use that grooming of the child to parlay 261 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: that into sexual activity, criminal sexual activity. That is the 262 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: activity that we are now outlawing in Kentucky. Any anything 263 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 4: that the person in a position of trust would do 264 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 4: in order to groom that child for illegal sexual activity 265 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 4: will be outlawed under House built four. 266 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: So House built four, it is already illegal for an 267 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: adult to have sex with a child or a team. 268 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: That's illegal. 269 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: This is getting up to the line of actually having sex. 270 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: It is grooming. I can hear the. 271 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: ACLU saying, no, wait, a man, that's going to be 272 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: hard to prove that freedom of speech got all this. 273 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: So you're saying this bill would address someone say it's 274 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: a male teacher with a female student that they did 275 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: not have sex yet, but everything indicates he's intending on 276 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: doing that. Is that where it's addressing itself to. 277 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 4: Yes, it's anything you used to entice, coerce, solicit, or 278 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: induce a minor to engage in sexual conduct with the 279 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 4: person or another person. So you can't induce the minor 280 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: to you know, you can't be an intermediary for it either. 281 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 4: But it's any person who's eighteen years of age or 282 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 4: older who engages in that direct activity with a miner 283 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 4: who is under the age of fourteen or less I'm sorry, 284 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 4: or more than ten years younger than the person who 285 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 4: is engaging in it with that minor. That is what 286 00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: we are out lawing through house. 287 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: So eighteen years old, you can send sexy tweets or 288 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: whatever to a fifteen year old, but if there's a 289 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: ten year difference, you can't. Let's say you're a teacher 290 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: and you're twenty three years old and you're trying to 291 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: entice a seventeen year old. That's kind of where it's intended. 292 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 4: Yes, it's a grooming behavior is defined as a course 293 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 4: of conduct directed at a minor that's intended to establish 294 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 4: an emotional connection with the minor through manipulation, trust building, 295 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 4: or influence to facilitate future acts of sexual conduct. 296 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: That's not illegal the bill itself. That's not illegal right 297 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: now in Kentucky. 298 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 4: No, not until there's an actual sex act. And we 299 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 4: have actually had cases where someone has detected this grooming behavior. 300 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: It's kind of like pornography, Willy. It's hard to define, 301 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 4: but we know it when we see it, this kind 302 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 4: of activity. We have had occasions where it's been detected 303 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 4: before there was actual sexual contact between usually a teacher 304 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: and a student. 305 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: Hasn't been anything criminally that we could do about it. 306 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 4: Now, those teachers oftentimes lost their jobs or I got 307 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 4: to say every time lost their job or resign their job. 308 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 4: But that wasn't anything that we could handle criminally, even 309 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: though we know exactly what this person in a position 310 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 4: of authority was doing when they engaged in this behavior. 311 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 4: What they were hoping to do was rape that job 312 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 4: before it was all over, and they just got caught 313 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 4: before they actually completed the act. 314 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: Good. 315 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: And I would add your friend Governor Andy Basheer was 316 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: on the view. I'm sure you watch it. Tony Bender 317 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: is a great friend of the View, he told me 318 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: about a week ago. Andy Basheer was on the View 319 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: talking about defunding ICE and eliminating ICE. Can you imagine 320 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: a society in which the immigration and Border enforcement stops 321 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: that twenty eight thousand men and women the ninety nine 322 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: percent of the time doing their job, they're fired. If 323 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: the Democrat wins the presidency with the Congress, ICE would 324 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: go away. 325 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: What would the borders look like? 326 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 4: Well, it's ridiculous, Willie. I can't believe Andy Basheer says 327 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 4: he wants ICE out of every. 328 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: City in America. 329 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 4: I don't know where the Border Patrol is going to 330 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 4: protect our borders from if they're out of every city 331 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 4: in America. But the fact is, we have ICE agents 332 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: here in Kentucky. It's not like you see on TV 333 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 4: in Minneapolis. We have ones that work quietly behind the scenes. 334 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 4: They're mostly arresting people out of jails in Kentucky that 335 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 4: are here illegally and they commit a crime and they 336 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 4: get hauled into a jail for whatever state law they violated. 337 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 4: We've had over two thousand ICE arrests in Kentucky in 338 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 4: the last nine months, the vast majority of which were 339 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 4: people arrested out of a jail in Kentucky because they 340 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 4: had already broken our laws. We've got twenty five law 341 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 4: enforcement agencies in Kentucky that have ICE agreements where they 342 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 4: will house people on ICE's behalf or charge people with 343 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 4: that have committed crimes with being here illegally. There's over 344 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 4: thirteen hundred now nationwide. There were only one hundred and 345 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 4: thirty five onto the Biden administration. Now there's over thirteen 346 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 4: hundred now that Trump is in office. 347 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 3: So obviously ICE. 348 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 4: Has made connects with local law enforcement with jails in 349 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: order to expand the enforcement to get illegal immigrants out 350 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 4: of our country when they break our laws. Yet Andy 351 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 4: Bashier is calling for their withdrawal. It's interesting. We have 352 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: two other bills going on in our session right now, 353 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 4: House Bill forty seven and Senate Bill eighty six, both 354 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 4: of which require local law enforcement to partner with ICE 355 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 4: and to help enforce immigration laws. One of those is 356 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 4: sponsored by one of our Northern Kentucky representatives, TJ. Roberts 357 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 4: fro Mountain Boon County. He's the sponsor of House built 358 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 4: forty seven. The Senate Bill eighty six is a parallel 359 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 4: build there. This going through in opposite directions that was 360 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 4: sponsored by Senator Philip Wheeler out of Fike County, Kentucky. 361 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 4: And one of the things people don't realize, Willy, is 362 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 4: that we don't get criminal histories out of Mexico, Guatemala, 363 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 4: or any of these other third world countries where a 364 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 4: lot of these. 365 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 3: Immigrants come from. 366 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 4: When they say, oh, they're not targeting the illegals, these 367 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: people don't hit criminal history. So you don't know what 368 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 4: their criminal history is because you can't run an n 369 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 4: see ice on Mexico criminal history a Guatemalan criminal history. 370 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 4: What we do know is that they're breaking laws here 371 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 4: in America. That's how they end up in our jails 372 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: in the first place, at least here in Kentucky, and 373 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 4: that is how immigration laws are being for. So I 374 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 4: don't think Andy Basheer knows what he's talking about. I 375 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 4: don't think he understands how big of a problem illegal 376 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 4: immigration is in Kentucky, how many people are made victims 377 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 4: of crime by illegal immigrants. But if you would look 378 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 4: at the numbers, he wouldn't realize that IIST is helping 379 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: protect Kentucky citizens, tax paying, law abiding citizens that need 380 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 4: protection from people here illegally committing crimes. 381 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: Got it ron once again, Keith the Bluegrass straight, looking 382 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: forward to our big dinner with Bender and many others. 383 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: And then once again Rob Sanders, thanks for coming on 384 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. 385 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: And you're a great American. Thank you, Rob. 386 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 3: Thanks Willie. 387 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 4: You know pictures and catchers reported today, so it's only 388 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 4: a matter of time. We got to get our Bill 389 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 4: Cunningham luxury box over at Great American Ballpark is the 390 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 4: stadium they named after you. It's only fitting that you 391 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 4: have a luxury suite over there. We got to get 392 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 4: up for the vanilla. 393 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: We'll get it done. 394 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: We'll get it done and play Ice Baby, but ice 395 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: it refers to a singer, not to law enforcement. Rob 396 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: Sanders got to run once again. Thank you and God 397 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: bless you, thank you. I just continue with more. We 398 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: have news coming up plus late Jay Ratliffe will be 399 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: next in about ten or fifteen minutes at your home 400 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: of the Reds reporting today News Radio seven hundred Wow 401 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: by Billy Cunningham. 402 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: Let's continue. 403 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: About four hours ago, the FAA issued an incredible order 404 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: temporary flight restriction that halts all flights to and from 405 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: El Paso in the neighboring sant Teresa, New Mexico Airports. 406 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: By the way, Opaso is the twenty third largest city 407 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: in America. The restriction prohibits all aircraft operations, including commercial 408 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: cargo and general aviation, from today, February tenth, for ten 409 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: days until February the twentieth. The restriction was issued for 410 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: special security reasons, a move that is extremely rare for 411 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: an airport in the major US city. Speculation was rampant, 412 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: and then about an hour and a half later, FA 413 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: put out a missive Senate Okay, al Passo is now 414 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: open the airport. So instead of ten days, it was 415 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: like ten minutes. And this kind of shocked the system 416 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: because even though it's not a hub connecting a bunch 417 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: of flights elsewhere, it is a large international airport of 418 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: course near the Mexico border. Joining you and I now 419 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: is the great jay Ratlift Aviation consulting without equal and 420 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: jay Ratlift. When you got this about about seven am 421 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: this morning, what was your initial reaction? 422 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 5: I thought, Okay, we have airport closures all the time. 423 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 5: Ten days, Wait a minute, this is not normal. So 424 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 5: you kind of dive into it. You see that the 425 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 5: airlines that operate in and out. 426 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: Of l Passo. Were caught off guard. 427 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 5: So it was something that was a sudden notification from 428 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 5: the Federal Aviation Ministration, and. 429 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: It kind of made you think. 430 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 5: Once they said that the cargo aircraft, the commercial aircraft, 431 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 5: apparently any of the care flight or you know, emergency 432 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 5: helicopters for medical purposes, we're all going to be banned 433 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 5: from seventeen thousand feet under. Only to make sure all 434 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 5: of us were paying attention, they added that little line 435 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 5: saying it's a matter of national defense and use of 436 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 5: deadly forced is authorized. Yeah, that's going to get your 437 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 5: attention and a heartbeat when you throw that line in there. 438 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 5: But it was ten nautical miles around the airport, and 439 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 5: again they were going. 440 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 2: To do it for ten days. 441 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 5: We suspected it was a threat of some kind, but 442 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 5: we didn't know if what was going on, And like 443 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 5: you said, the speculation was just going everywhere. But look, 444 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 5: this is Texas. The next nearest airport is like, you know, 445 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty miles away or whatever. So it 446 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: was certainly going to be an inconvenience to everybody going 447 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 5: in and out of that airport. It traffic wise, it's 448 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 5: less than half of what we see at CBG, but 449 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 5: about four million passengers a year. They have I think 450 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 5: six airlines that go in and out of there. But 451 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 5: wellly it was going to be a huge inconvenience for 452 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 5: you know, not only people that have been planning leisure trips. 453 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 5: You know, February is a great cruise month and folks 454 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 5: have been planning their crews for years and years and years. Oops, 455 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 5: how we're going to get to another airport to kind 456 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 5: of salvage our trip? And then you've got the men 457 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 5: and women travel for business. That was going to be 458 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 5: a huge headache. So, you know, the good news is 459 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 5: here that the it has been re established, but it 460 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 5: kind of makes you think that there's not kind of 461 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 5: a growing concern with some of the drone traffic and 462 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 5: other types of things that they're thinking might become a 463 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 5: problem as far as the threat with commercial aviation, especially 464 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 5: down along the border. And so what happened about ninety 465 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: minutes later, I'm watching, I'm monitor everything simultaneously and said, well, 466 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 5: no issue, and so could you give us media accounts 467 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 5: is that maybe there were drug cartel drones something else. 468 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 5: Of course that was rampant, something Southern invasion is going 469 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: to happen. US military has authorized to shoot down aircraft 470 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 5: over an. 471 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Airport, kind of like nine to eleven. What happened with that? 472 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: If you're in the air you can be shot down. 473 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't only may I use the term only drug 474 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: cartel drones or what's the speculation. 475 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 5: Well, and right now from the individuals that I'm getting 476 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 5: information from, it was concern over the drones being in 477 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 5: the same airspace as around the airport. Now, again that 478 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 5: just maybe the official word that's kind of leaking out 479 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 5: nothing that is of an official nature, But it was 480 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 5: obvious that there was a concern enough that said that 481 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 5: we are going to be looking at the possibility of 482 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 5: danger for aircraft in the area, so we're going to 483 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 5: close the airport. What was curious, and what is just 484 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 5: difficult for me to kind of connect the dots to, 485 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 5: is why a ten day period of time was indicated 486 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 5: from the onset. I've seen them close an airport until 487 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 5: further notice. Sometimes it's due to weather, sometimes it's an 488 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 5: electrical outage at the airport or what have you. But 489 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 5: this wasn't just the airport itself. It was the ten 490 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 5: nautical miles around the airport where the air service was closed. 491 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 5: That airspace was nothing cargo, commercial, anything else general aviation 492 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 5: not allowed to fly in or around that up to 493 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 5: an altitude of seventeen thousand feet. That was real curious 494 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 5: part to me in all of this was the fact 495 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 5: that you're trying to determine exactly why this ten day 496 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 5: window was covered. And again there was a threat assessment 497 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: of some kind that somebody was acting upon. And you know, 498 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 5: this administration, they're going to have all hands on deck 499 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 5: if there's something that's going on. They're not going to 500 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 5: be caught off guard, and they're going to make sure 501 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 5: that they've got whatever they need from a four standpoint 502 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 5: to take care of whatever perceived threat it may happen 503 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 5: to be. But it was obvious here that there was 504 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 5: something of a sudden nature that triggered all of this. 505 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 5: And you know, i'd love to say eventually we're going 506 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 5: to get all the answers. I suspect we probably will not, 507 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 5: but I would certainly like more information than what we've 508 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 5: gotten right now, simply because of the fact that you're 509 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 5: trying to determine, Okay, is this going to be something 510 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 5: that's going to occur along the border or other places 511 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 5: on an ongoing basis, and if so, we'd certainly like 512 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 5: to know what's going on. 513 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: Now As to this point, as we said here about 514 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: a quarter to one in the afternoon, it's open. I 515 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: would think in the future, if this happens, you would 516 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: like to think the federal government will say the reason 517 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: would doing this, but you never do it for ten days? Okay, 518 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: next ten days I found about an invasion. You might 519 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: say until further notice, it's shut down. But to have 520 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: the FAA say okay until rennage meantime on February the twentieth, 521 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: it's shut down, is like, what are you going? And 522 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines that's their main deal, right, They didn't know 523 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: what to do. 524 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 5: It's one of the airport form but it's you know, 525 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 5: for six airlines there, it's the they run one hundred 526 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 5: and seventy flights a day collectively in and out of 527 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 5: that airport. And when all that's coming and shutting down 528 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 5: at a time when yeah, traffic's starting to pick up, 529 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 5: you're thinking, well, we've got to do something here. And 530 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 5: you know, Willie, when you see ten days, my thought is, okay, 531 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 5: they need that time to stage to get all the 532 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 5: pieces in place for whatever it might happen to be. 533 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 5: That was the only thing I could think of as 534 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 5: far as it was a sudden announcement they need ten days. 535 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 5: What takes ten days to do If it's monitoring activity 536 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 5: or concern over airspace, that's one thing. But yeah, some 537 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 5: of this stuff just didn't make sense, didn't connect. And 538 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 5: the fact that by the time we were starting to 539 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 5: try to figure out what's going on, it was lifted. 540 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 5: It kind of left us with more questions than we 541 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 5: had when we started with. So, you know, just a 542 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 5: lot of confusion at this point in time. And I'm 543 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 5: certainly it was all for very good reasons. And obviously, 544 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 5: if there's ever a threat to commercial aviation, we're going 545 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 5: to err on the side of caution, and I think 546 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 5: that may have been. 547 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: The case here. 548 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 5: But to restrict the cargo, the general aviation, the medical helicopters, 549 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 5: other types of things certainly indicative of something that was 550 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 5: considered a viable threat of some kind, and not knowing 551 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 5: what that is certainly kind of gives us all an 552 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 5: uneasy feeling as we try to determine what was taking place, 553 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 5: and gee, is this ever gonna happen again. 554 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: What caught my attention is if you come over the 555 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: airport and aircraft, we're going to kill you. We're gonna 556 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: shoot you down. We're gonna shoot you down. We're going 557 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: to kill you. 558 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 3: Eight air show. 559 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 5: You see those signs all the time around the self 560 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 5: bomber's use of deadly force is authorized. In other words, 561 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 5: do not cross it. Don't cross the barrier, otherwise it 562 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 5: could be your last day. 563 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 2: So you know, it's that. 564 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 5: Got my attention when they're talking about the use of 565 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 5: deadly force. 566 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: Now, on a related matter, Department of Homeland Securities is 567 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: under fire according to the media, and on Friday it 568 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: looks like there's going to be a shutdown again of 569 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: Homeland Security funding. Not ICE funding, by the way, and 570 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: the last bill the Republicans put in, the Democrats agreed 571 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: to fund ICE, which is in the crossairs of the 572 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: Democrats until twenty twenty nine. But the rest of Department 573 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: Homeland Security here we go again with TSA. By the way, 574 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: part of Homeland Security is that is a TSA and 575 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: FEMA and the Coast Guard and Cybersecurity and the Secret Service. 576 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: So the Democrats are angry at ICE, Federal law enforcement 577 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the time, many women doing a 578 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: great work. One percent we can argue about nine to 579 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: nine percent is pretty good. But things are structured now. 580 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: ICE will continue to be funded for the next four years. 581 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: That's it. 582 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: But then they want to attack indirectly homeland security, which 583 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: is TSA, the Coastguard and the Secret Service. 584 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: Makes no sense at all. 585 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 5: Are you playing logic to politics? I mean, I've listened 586 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 5: to you long enough to know, my friend, those don't match. 587 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 5: So but it's what they think they can do to 588 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 5: try to make a point, even though when you look 589 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 5: at it, the whole idea is they recognize in this 590 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 5: social media world that we live in, we all tend 591 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 5: to kind of skim the headlines and create an impression 592 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 5: come to a decision. We never dive into things. We 593 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 5: never invest enough time to investigate it to see if 594 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 5: these headlines are actually what's going on, and once you do, 595 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 5: you kind of find out, wow, this doesn't make sense. 596 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 5: But when all you do, and I've got feminent family 597 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 5: members that do this, they constantly come running to me saying, well, Jay, 598 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 5: can you explain to me what this is? And I said, well, 599 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 5: if you woul to invest gate it. It means this, 600 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 5: but far too many times the Democratic side, and they've 601 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 5: beneffective at it, So you I certainly understand why they 602 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 5: don't give this up. They keep running these stupid headlines 603 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 5: out there, and there are people that, Okay, I'll agree 604 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 5: with that, and then that becomes a position of the 605 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 5: hill they'll die on even though it makes no sense. 606 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 5: And but when I see people out there trying to 607 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 5: stand in the way of ICE, trying to stand in 608 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 5: the way of people that rape and attack children and women, 609 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 5: I'm thinking, I just don't understand that mindset, and thank 610 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 5: god I don't to try to impede that kind of 611 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 5: ability for us to remove those individuals who are here 612 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 5: illegally and are hurting American citizens. I mean, how bad 613 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 5: do you hate Trump if you're going to stand in 614 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,479 Speaker 5: the way and try to protect somebody that's that violent 615 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 5: to women and children. I just don't get it. 616 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: What's going to happen with TSA on Friday if they 617 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: don't fund it. Of course, they're angry at ICE for 618 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: doing their good job ninety nine percent of the time, 619 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: but they're funny. Put that in a lot. Put that 620 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: on to the side. We funded that months ago until 621 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine. So in order to attack ICE, we're 622 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: going to go after TSA, the Secret Service, We're going 623 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: to go after the coast Guard in FEMA. That's what 624 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Who I mean, how does somebody. 625 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: Think like this? 626 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 5: I don't know, And Bill, I'm glad you and I 627 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 5: don't understand how people think like that because it doesn't 628 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 5: make any sense. But as far as the TSA, they've 629 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 5: had times before where they show up and they're not 630 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 5: getting paid where they've got to do their job. The 631 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 5: airline industry is an integral part of the nation's economy. 632 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 3: We've got to keep it going. 633 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 5: So the TSA agents are going to show up as 634 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 5: they have done before, and they're going to do their 635 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 5: typical good job. As far as screening member, they only 636 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 5: they have two million chances of day to screw up, 637 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 5: and for the most part, they do a very good job. 638 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 5: And when you understand that, look, these people are going 639 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 5: to show up and do their job because we've got 640 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 5: to keep commercial aviation running. Now will be delayed. Well, 641 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 5: let me look back at the government shutdown that we 642 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 5: had for several several weeks. There was no stories you 643 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 5: and I were talking about by about screening lines being 644 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 5: out the door, you know, out the door and around 645 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 5: the corner. People were showing up and doing their job. 646 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 5: A lot of people were thanking them for being there 647 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 5: because they had everything moving. 648 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: I did tell you, I said, I can't cut I 649 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: can't thank the Secret Service, I can't thank the Coastguard, 650 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: I can't thank FEMA, but I can thank TSA agents 651 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: for showing up not being paid. And those who showed up, 652 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: the Trumpster gave them an extra ten thousand bucks. 653 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 2: How about that. 654 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and some of them wanted more, but I get that. 655 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 5: And you know, you have a situation with the air 656 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 5: traffic controllers given bonuses, and you know, some of them 657 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 5: were a little bit indignant over it. And I always thinking, 658 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 5: I hate to think this way, but it's like, Okay, 659 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 5: if that came from Joe Biden, would these same people 660 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 5: be ticked off. No, they probably appreciated so any when 661 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 5: you have such a disregard, in such a hate as 662 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 5: many people sadly have for the President of the United States, 663 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 5: that's all they see and regardless of what it is. 664 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 5: And you've said it before, he could come out here 665 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 5: answer and you'd have ninety eight percent of people that 666 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 5: hating would be against it somehow. It just it's sad 667 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 5: when that type of hatred defined your life. And I'm 668 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 5: just glad you and I live outside that kind of bubble. 669 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: Well, let's attack Ice by going after TSA agents and 670 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: FEMA and the Coast Guard and the Secret Service. 671 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: That makes sense. 672 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: Well, once again, Jay Ratliffe, I'm glad you and I 673 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: am not in politics. We talk about it. You talk 674 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: about aviation, I talk about politics. I away grant sometimes. 675 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 5: How much medication you and iit have to have if 676 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 5: we were anywhere near the political arena. I mean, what 677 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 5: a waste of time. You talk about the same thing 678 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 5: for twenty years and get nothing done, say social security 679 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 5: and all those things. Yeah, national debt, Yeah they can 680 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 5: have it because both sides of the aisle are worthless. 681 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: You have committee hearings and reports and podiums and news conferences, 682 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: but damn it, nothing happens other than talk talk talk 683 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: talk talk, and then you get talk talk. Jay Ratliff, 684 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: you got to rhyme. Thanks for getting us. They he'll 685 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: pass those situation and straight. It's scary when you're told 686 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: you're going to be killed if you fly over an 687 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: airport and all of a sudden that's been changed. We'll 688 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: see what happens the next time. But Jay Ratliffe, thank 689 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 690 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 5: And you're a great American. Thank you, jam you too, 691 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 5: my friend, Thank you God. But let's continue with more. 692 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: Does this make any sense to you, even if you're 693 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 1: a Democrat like a Greg Lansman, who's going to vote 694 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: to the fund ICE, Well, guess what ICE is funded 695 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: through twenty twenty nine. So to attack ICE, let's defund tsa, FEMA, 696 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: the Coastguard, and the Secret Service. That'll win us some 697 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: political points somewhere. I don't know with who. Let's continue 698 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: with more, Bill Cunningham, the Great American. After one o'clock today, 699 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: we scheduled Kendall Teach to talk about the walkout of 700 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: Princeton High School by the students and protests of ICE. 701 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: Was it ICE in a Coca Cola or Immigration and 702 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement? 703 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. But now the kids are. 704 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: Being used in high schools by teachers' unions to promote 705 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: political causes without the permission of the parents. Does that 706 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: make sense to you? Coming up after the news a 707 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: news radio seven hundred right now, Bill Cunningham, the great 708 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: American pend'll teach, has gone on with me two or 709 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: three times talk about what's happening the indoctrination of children 710 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: and generally public schools, but also private schools about liberal causes, 711 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: whether it's climate justice, anti ice or whatever. And this 712 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: comes on the heels of one of our local schools, 713 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: Princeton School District, which is in Hamilton County, of course, 714 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: and I don't think basically they're a sanctuary city, sanctuary 715 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: state more or less. I think that's a little iffy 716 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: because Hamlety County, where I live is very blue at 717 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: the present time. But nonetheless, the students are walked out 718 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: on a day or two ago to protest ICE and 719 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: the students. I got some calls from some parents saying, 720 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, my child is going to be indoctrinated 721 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: by leftists for a particular political cause. Especially when the 722 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: family that called me had several police officers in their family. 723 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: They didn't like it at all. So I thought I'd 724 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: get a hold of Kendall Teats. She's with Defending Education 725 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: dot org. She wrote a great piece about a week 726 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: ago in the New York Post about what's happening kind 727 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: of below the surface in public education, which is the 728 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: indoctrination of our kids, well funded by leftists to provide 729 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: a certain left wing result and catch the youth early 730 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: on to indoctrinate them with left wing causes is the 731 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: way they have future electoral success. Kendall Teats, Welcome again 732 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham shown. First of all, describe the 733 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: essence of your column in the New York Post. 734 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, so we looked at this group called the Sunrise Movement, 735 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 6: which was really they described themselves as as youth led 736 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 6: and basically they're this protest network and they're pushing a lot. 737 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 7: Of these school walkouts. 738 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 6: So they were founded as this group and climate climate 739 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 6: change and you know, promoting climate activism, and they've since 740 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 6: pivoted into anti is activism, and they've been promoting these 741 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 6: school walkouts, as I said, and they're almost being used 742 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 6: as a recruiting tactics. 743 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 7: So they're using this. 744 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 6: Replicable school walkout playbook, and they're backed by major donors 745 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 6: and instruction and institutional infrastructure, so you know, they're recruiting 746 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 6: these these students so that they become can become a 747 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 6: long term activists and political organizing. And you know, this 748 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 6: model is not spontaneous. They're really they want these students 749 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,479 Speaker 6: to become activists for a long time and the goal 750 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,919 Speaker 6: is that you know, you you recruit them in high 751 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 6: school while they're still young, and then funnel them into 752 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 6: college where this messaging intensifies. So, you know, as we 753 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 6: see these walkouts in schools across the country, it's just 754 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 6: proof that education, unfortunately, is increasingly morphing into political activism 755 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 6: and instead of you know, obviously reading, writing, and arithmetic, which. 756 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 7: Has been our focus that to send the education for 757 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 7: years now. 758 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: I had on a guest a few weeks ago, and 759 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: this feeds into what you're saying. You know, we think 760 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: the essential function of a school is about reading, writing, 761 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 1: and arithmetic, about the academic pursuits, about telling a student 762 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: how to think and not what to think. That's what 763 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: school should be about. But in New York City, you 764 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: don't have to Attendance in school is optional. Secondly, taking 765 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 1: a test is optional. Graduation will be granted even though 766 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: you have not pursued academic disciplines, and in fact, they 767 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: have social promotions. So if you fail to grade, it 768 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: used to be well you got to repeat the fifth grade. 769 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: But that's not the way it works anymore. So they 770 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: have social promotion. Test taking is optional, attendance is optional, 771 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: and you graduate. How's that education? 772 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 7: No, I mean, it's absolutely not. 773 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 6: And the unfortunate part is that we see this across 774 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 6: the country where you know. 775 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 7: Teachers are oftentimes they're they're progressive. Not all teachers, of course, 776 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 7: but teachers are on the side of this. So if 777 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 7: it's if it's schools, students want to walk out, a 778 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 7: lot of times they're supported by their teachers. 779 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 6: But I think a lot of parents say, look, you know, 780 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 6: we send our kids to school to learn, and that 781 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 6: should be what the focus is, not activism. 782 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 7: But I think, you know, as this climate. 783 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 6: Justice idea kind of loses cultural traction and immigration enforcement 784 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 6: becomes a bigger political flashpoint. You know, left wing groups 785 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 6: like Sunrise, they're you know, rebranding their protest energy around 786 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 6: these ice campaigns, and it's basically just to obstruct whatever 787 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,720 Speaker 6: the Trump administration is doing. 788 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 7: And I think that that's the theme with a lot. 789 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 6: Of these progressive groups is they really are just they 790 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 6: will they will protest anything that that Donald Trump is doing, 791 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 6: anything that the president is doing and it's really just 792 00:39:54,920 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 6: a movement in opposition to him and in favor of 793 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 6: these progressive causes. And I think that when it gets 794 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 6: into the high school level is when it's super concerning. 795 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 6: I mean, if you're if you're a college student and 796 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 6: you want to do this, I think that. 797 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 7: That's that's different. 798 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 6: But walkouts at the high school level, that's that's taking 799 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 6: this to a whole new level. 800 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: And in fact, I think I had you on a 801 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: month or so ago and brought up the fact that 802 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: in California, preschoolers and kidneygarten kids are part of the 803 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: transgender movement. That is that there, uh, whether it's the 804 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: flag or whether it's transgender rights, that moms will bring 805 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: along their four year old girls in support of transgender rights. 806 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: And there's some classic photos I've seen of a five 807 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: year old little boy holding a sign that says, I 808 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: may look like a boy, but I'm really a girl. 809 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: And so when you talk about high schools like at 810 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: Princeton High School, and your colin talks about Minnesota, Nevada, UH, 811 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: in California, But how how far does this go in 812 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: the doctrination when you have a five year old boy 813 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: holding a sign that says, I may look like a boy, 814 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: but I'm really a girl. 815 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 2: How sick is that? 816 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 7: I mean, that's messed up. 817 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 6: And I think that you know, if if this is 818 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 6: an instance where parents are taking their kids to uh 819 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 6: to protests, I mean we can't help that, right, that's 820 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 6: just indoctrination by parents at a very young age. I 821 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 6: think that that is is their prerogative, I guess if 822 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 6: you want to raise a little social justice warrior. But 823 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 6: I think that, like I was saying, in the instances 824 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 6: where this is you know, allowed at school, specifically where 825 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 6: you know teachers are charged with taking care of your kids, 826 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 6: you drop them off at schools, I mean they're going 827 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 6: to be safe and essentially they're walking out of class. 828 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 6: That is I think where we run into more issues, 829 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 6: and that I think is is not is obviously not 830 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 6: where the focus should be. But I think parents should 831 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 6: also be concerned about, you know, who potentially is teaching 832 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,240 Speaker 6: the math if as they're okay with their students leading 833 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 6: math class to go joining in an ice out protest 834 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 6: on a random Wednesday morning. 835 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of like the issue DOUJR. It might be 836 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: abortion as a human right, it might be climate justice, 837 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: becomes climate activism. It might be about ice, might be 838 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: about oil, no profit for oil companies, So the issue 839 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: may change. Like a lily pad, you may jump from 840 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: issue to issue. So the parent that got a hold 841 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: of me said to me, how come I wasn't allowed 842 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: to say yes or no? How come quote student led movements? 843 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: Isn't that like truancy? Isn't that something you can't do? 844 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: And talk about the differential between the recruitment of teachers 845 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 1: part of a teacher's union on one hand, as opposed 846 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: a student led protest on the other. 847 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: Don't they have the same source? 848 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I. 849 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 6: Think that the Sunrise Movement, for example, we've they've been 850 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 6: working with the National Education Association and obviously one of 851 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 6: the biggest. 852 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 7: UH teachers unions in the country. 853 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 6: And UH the president of the National Education Association, Becky Pringle, 854 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 6: she's joined multiple Sunrise Movement events basically laying out quote 855 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 6: unquote a roadmap to political revolution. 856 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 7: So once again, that's beyond Ice. The goal is mass disruption. 857 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 6: They want to disrupt students day to day lives, Americans 858 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 6: day to day lives. And this is beyond Minnesota, this 859 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 6: is beyond Ice. There is a ideological, grassroots level effort 860 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:51,240 Speaker 6: to bring kids, students into the fold, into this activist group. 861 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 6: And I think that you know, parents need to be aware, 862 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 6: beware of that and know that this is not just 863 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 6: about this is not just about ice. The goal, and 864 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 6: they say it in their own words, is political revolution. 865 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,280 Speaker 1: Who's funding Sunrise? We know who's funding the teachers' unions. 866 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 1: Is this coming from communists red China? Is it coming 867 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: from Iran? Is it coming from Mexico? The Mexico Embassy 868 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: puts out a map in which California and Colorado and 869 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: New Mexico, Nevada, Texas is part of Greater Mexico. The 870 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: Mexican government will tell you those countries were wrongfully taken. 871 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: Those states are wrongfully taken from us, and we want 872 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,879 Speaker 1: them back. You have the Indian movements in Hollywood. When 873 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: you have fools at the Grammys talk about we live 874 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: on stolen land. Billy eyeleash Is told, okay, here your 875 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: three million dollar mansion. The head of some tribe showed 876 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 1: up to say, you know what, I want my land back, 877 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: give me your house. Who's funding all this left wing 878 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: activism that's happening. And you catch the minds of kids 879 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 1: that are four or five, six years old, fifteen years old? 880 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: Who's actually writing checks? Is it a government? Is a leftist? 881 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 1: Is at George Soros? Who's writing the checks? 882 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 8: Yeah? 883 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 6: So the Sunrise movement has has you know, clubs for students, 884 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 6: and they received funding. 885 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 7: From donor organizations. 886 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 6: So their whole thing is citing you know, big money, 887 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 6: big oil fascism in their words. But they they have 888 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 6: mega donors like the Ford Foundation, the Tide Foundation, and 889 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 6: the wind Word Fund, which is part of the Arabella Network. 890 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 6: They're also listed as a partner with the American Federation 891 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 6: of Teachers Climate Justice campaign, and as I mentioned, you know. 892 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 7: They also are involved with the National. 893 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 6: Education Association, so they're they're incohouit. 894 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 7: With the teachers unions. 895 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 6: These big mega donors are also giving them money. 896 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 7: And you know, as much. 897 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 6: As they want to help themselves out as a grassroots 898 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,280 Speaker 6: campaign where you know, they're they're. 899 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 7: Just student led and this is completely. 900 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 6: Organic, there's there's big money behind this group, and I 901 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 6: would I would encourage your listeners to you know, take 902 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 6: a look at who they are and what they mean, 903 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,240 Speaker 6: because like I said, it goes far, far beyond climate 904 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 6: activism or ice. 905 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: You know New York City, Kend'll teach there's about forty 906 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars per student per year spent. And of 907 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,439 Speaker 1: course mom Donnie wants to spend more money, claiming that's 908 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,799 Speaker 1: not enough money. But if test are optional, if attendance 909 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: is optional, and social promotion is ubiquitous, if you're if 910 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 1: you fail, you don't know if you're failing or succeeding. 911 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: Because a student in many urban districts, for example, in 912 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: Cincinnati where I live, chronic obsenteeism is about forty four percent, 913 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: and black boys have a chronic absenteeism rate of seventy percent. 914 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,320 Speaker 1: And I would imagine that's true in many urban areas 915 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 1: simply not going to school, and I used to be true, 916 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 1: and so they used to be okay, you can't do that. 917 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: Now it's okay. And so if you have a public 918 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,280 Speaker 1: school system spending more and more and more money, getting 919 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: less and less result, wouldn't that be a ripe topic 920 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: for like sixty Minutes or the NBC Nightly News defending 921 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: education dot org. You're doing great work, but the whole 922 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,879 Speaker 1: mainstream media is not about putting a light on the 923 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: funding of our kids miseducation and indoctrination and they're dealing 924 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: with out the crap that don't matter. Can you smell 925 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,760 Speaker 1: what I'm cooking? How do we have a public school 926 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 1: system where you spend forty five thousand dollars per kid 927 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: per year and attendance is optional? 928 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,720 Speaker 2: How does that work? 929 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, so we've seen that in blue cities and blue 930 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 6: states where the cost of education for each child is 931 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 6: extremely high. But somehow, you know, you're not seeing any results. 932 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 6: And sometimes in fact, red states that spend less on 933 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 6: you know, per student, actually have better outcomes. 934 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 7: So I don't think it's a money issue. 935 00:47:55,560 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 6: I think that the focus and in my opinion, and 936 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,800 Speaker 6: what we're seeing is the focus in these blue states 937 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 6: is on. 938 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 7: Activism. It's on progressive cause, it's it's on de I. 939 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 6: It's it's turning kids into into activists where they view 940 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 6: everything to lens of race, for example. So I think 941 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 6: that that's the problem. Instead, you know, in other states 942 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 6: where maybe you have less money, but the focus is 943 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 6: on reading, reading and math. 944 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 7: What hasn't worked? 945 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 6: How can we get the literacy rates up? And that 946 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 6: should be the focus, and instead it's it's a lot 947 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 6: of the times, you know, it's just more money does 948 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 6: not equal better outcomes, and we've seen that time and 949 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 6: time again. I don't really know when when Blue states 950 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 6: are going to catch on and realize that, uh, the 951 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 6: problem is not money, it's on ideology. 952 00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 1: Kendall tits uh defending organ defending education dot org, and 953 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: Winegardener ahead of the largest teachers unions fights like crazy 954 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: to eliminate educational choice. We in Ohio have ed choice. 955 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: You can actually be that the money goes with the 956 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: kid and then go to the school or to the 957 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:18,320 Speaker 1: teachers unions. Explain why Randy Winegardner and others are against 958 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: ED choice. 959 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that they view choice as an instance 960 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 6: where money is going to be taken away from the 961 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 6: public school system. 962 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 7: But you know, school choice. 963 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 6: Ultimately is just the ability for parents to take dollars 964 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 6: to schools that are. 965 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 7: Are successful that they want to see their students go to. 966 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 6: So that means that the money isn't going to go 967 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,760 Speaker 6: towards the lower performing schools. 968 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,439 Speaker 7: And I think that that's obviously just a market. 969 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 6: Effects where you know, the most successful schools the best 970 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 6: outcomes are going to have students and parents that want 971 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 6: to send their students to those schools. And and if 972 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 6: you have abysmal outcomes, you're not going to be. 973 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 7: A desirabool desirable school. So it's it's really quite simple. 974 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 6: In my mind, I'm probably oversimplifying it, but you know, 975 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 6: parents are going to want to send their kids to 976 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 6: schools that have good outcomes. 977 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 7: It's really that simple. 978 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 1: Well, we hope that's the case, and we can't continue 979 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 1: like this because we're falling well behind our so called 980 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: peers in public education around the world. And you know, 981 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: in the United States, spends the most, gets the less result, 982 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: kind of like in our medical systems, we spend the 983 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: most with the less result. But I can't imagine if 984 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: you're a parent of a Princeton kid and your child's 985 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: being indoctrinated to get them out of that situation, because 986 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: it's going to happen again and again and again.

FC or NASCAR NASCAR? 1090 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 2: Because FC, the MLS is starting things instead of later, 1091 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 2: they're starting it earlier in February to get done. But well, 1092 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 2: you know what, I don't know that they may not 1093 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 2: be done by November. I don't think so. And then 1094 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 2: NASCAR begins, but it never ends, that's correct. Let's see 1095 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,879 Speaker 2: what else is going on here. Let's see the guys 1096 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 2: are hurt. Also, go ahead, no go ahead. 1097 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,359 Speaker 1: The over under for the Reds are like eighty one 1098 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: and a half or eighty two and a half. Right, 1099 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: And last year they won eighty three games and they 1100 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: got to the play You forget about the fact segment. 1101 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 1: The Reds got to the playoffs. All they had to 1102 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 1: do was win two out of three in Chavez Ravine, 1103 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: which of course they were non competitive. I have a 1104 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 1: sense the Red Legs this year are a year better, 1105 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 1: not a year older. Do you agree or not? Plus, 1106 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 1: haven't they helped the bullpen quite a bit? And I 1107 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: think the four starting rotations not bad, not bad at all. 1108 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Willie. If they can keep the 1109 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 2: five big boys and the starting rotation healthy and not 1110 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 2: have and Nick Loodolo not have the blister, Hunter Green 1111 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 2: not throwing up and getting hurt with what the hamstring 1112 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 2: or the calf or the groin or something. Andrew Abbott 1113 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 2: stayed healthy the whole year. I think that Brady Singer's 1114 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 2: got to with it. 1115 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 3: Well. 1116 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 2: I think he won twelve games last year to take 1117 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 2: that back then. But you know, if they keep the 1118 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 2: big five, they stay away from injuries. They got themselves 1119 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 2: an offensive bat and Ahuanio Suarez and uh, you know 1120 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 2: and and if the if the and the bullpen has 1121 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 2: been strengthened, see what happens. I don't know what happens. 1122 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 2: I mean Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Chicago, Saint Louis. Saint Louis has 1123 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 2: been trading guys left and right. The Brewers just traded 1124 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 2: their third baseman the other day. I think to the 1125 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 2: Red Sox and their best pictures going right, and I 1126 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 2: don't know what. I don't know what kind of team 1127 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 2: they're gonna have. Pittsburgh's probably gonna stink as usual. It'll 1128 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 2: be better, but then and then and then the Cubs, 1129 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 2: and the Cubs might be better because they're spending money. 1130 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 2: But still there's still the Cubs. They had one year 1131 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 2: over twenty seventeen. Other than that, they've stun for the 1132 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 2: last fifty years. So I know you don't like me 1133 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 2: to say this segment, but I have hope. I have 1134 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 2: hope too. I have hope. You got hope every year, 1135 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 2: will you? And and n Plus it's year two under 1136 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 2: Terry Francona. That's another most of the season. I mean, 1137 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 2: he came in, you know, he was laying on the 1138 00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 2: couch and they called him and he said, yeah, I'll 1139 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 2: come in and all of a sudden, you know, you 1140 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 2: get Terry Francona as a manager, and he's going to 1141 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 2: be a Hall of Famer one day with it, with 1142 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 2: the resume that guy's got, and what he did with 1143 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Indians aka Guardians is truly unbelievable. On the 1144 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 2: Red Sox two. And then you know you got year 1145 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 2: in last year, probably spent the majority of the season 1146 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 2: trying to get you know, just acclimated to the Reds 1147 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 2: way and the way he wanted the team to play 1148 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 2: and all that stuff. Now they know what to. 1149 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: Expect looking at this wife seg Man, Yeah, that they're 1150 00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: a year better. And secondly, I have a sense twenty 1151 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven might be a bad year in Major League Baseball. 1152 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,200 Speaker 1: Everyone is saying that, including Lance. I listened to Lance 1153 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 1: quite often. He said, there's going to be a half 1154 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 1: or a whole year lost the World Series. This is 1155 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: the year where the Reds are ready to perform like 1156 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 1: a trained seal, and I have confidence they can get 1157 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,400 Speaker 1: it done and stay he healthy is the key, and 1158 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Ladola has got blister problems. Green always says difficulties. Aba, 1159 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: he's a work orse. Singers pitching better. They have a 1160 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 1: better bullpen. And with South Stewart losing about twenty five 1161 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: or thirty pounds of ugly fat, I don't know. I 1162 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: think the Reds are well positioned, shallis say to do 1163 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 1: something pretty good? 1164 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 2: Well, the La Da La Cruz had that for the 1165 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 2: great first half, Willie that he tailed off in the second. 1166 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 2: And another guy that's got to be counted on is 1167 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 2: Matt McClain never. I mean, he's got to. He's got 1168 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 2: to step up now and show what he's worth. 1169 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 1: Well, he's got to do something. And adding Suarez is 1170 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 1: going to back up. I guess al Adela Cruz and 1171 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: I you know, if you can't Ken Holme Ken hit 1172 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 1: home runs at the Great American Ballpark, damn it, you 1173 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,400 Speaker 1: can't hit home runs. The Reds have done lowsy recently 1174 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:48,520 Speaker 1: hitting home runs. 1175 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 2: Well, hopefully hopefully at least thirty five or forty four. 1176 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 2: What I think he's going to wear number twenty eight 1177 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 2: this year, So that's Veda Parson's number. Remember Veda Pinson 1178 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 2: center field. One of my Bobby Tolan also wore that number. 1179 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,480 Speaker 1: Twenty Eight's a good number. Beda Penson was my favorite 1180 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,960 Speaker 1: Red grown up. I liked him more than Frank Robinson, 1181 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Jean Freeze, Roy McMillan, Johnny Temple, George Crowe. I liked 1182 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 1: Tim better. Veda Penson was my guy. 1183 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 2: Also, Willie, iHeartMedia and the seven hundred WLW salutes Cincinnati's 1184 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 2: own Procter and Gamble.

The other day, I was driving 1190 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 2: down the street in Middletown and I looked at I thought, 1191 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,919 Speaker 2: what is that green stuff underneath the stunt? And I thought, 1192 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 2: holy cow, that's grass for the first time since what Thanksgiving? 1193 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,960 Speaker 1: Sega's been a while, but I want to get your 1194 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 1: comments from Princeton High School the Vikings marching out a 1195 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 1: class to protest ice. I had a parent call me 1196 01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 1: saying this is ridiculous and if you have teachers administrators 1197 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,479 Speaker 1: permitting truancy to take place and that these children become 1198 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 1: marching Marxists in pursuit of left wing audeologies that will 1199 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: continue through life that is disgusting. At Coal Rain High School, 1200 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 1: did you ever march out of Coal Rain High School 1201 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 1: protesting something? 1202 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 2: No, we usually marched outside and getting swats. 1203 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,800 Speaker 1: That was it to me. I would hope this stops. 1204 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 1: But I had on a guest an hour ago that 1205 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 1: said this is well funded and they recruit impressionable minds 1206 01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: to pursue left wing causes. It might be the climate 1207 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 1: change and climate mitigation. It might be oil is bad. 1208 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,720 Speaker 1: It might be abortion is healthcare but not for the baby. 1209 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: It might be about ice, might be about whatever. Yeah, 1210 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 1: and they're using these kids in high school as political 1211 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 1: props to advent advance the left wing agenda without the 1212 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,200 Speaker 1: permission of the parents. And the students are course to 1213 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,640 Speaker 1: go outside the other day at Princeton High School march 1214 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: around the track. How they got out of school the 1215 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 1: last last hour of school. They said let's go outside. 1216 01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: But to me, that's a crime, that's truancy, and the 1217 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: teachers and the administrators should crack down that before it's 1218 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 1: too late. 1219 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,439 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I know what you're saying. 1220 01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 2: What is it nil money now for protesters? 1221 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Protesters they get paid to protest, they're paid protesters and 1222 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 1: it's sickening and it's sad. And secondly, El Paso had 1223 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,680 Speaker 1: on Jay Ratliff an hour and a half ago and 1224 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 1: ninety minutes after it was announced that if you fly 1225 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: over the airport you'll be shot down and killed because 1226 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 1: and now within they said, okay, forget about that, because 1227 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: the Mexican drug cartels, they have the technology now available 1228 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 1: to knock down the cartels.

And he 1269 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 1: took down Shared Brown, the left wing socialist to the 1270 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: left of Bernie Sanders.

I 1275 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 1: think two or three. The primary, by the way, is 1276 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 1: only about ninety days away. But Eric Conroy, welcome for 1277 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: the first time to the Bill Cunningham Show.

Let's start 1281 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 1: in the beginning. Where'd you grow up? Give me a 1282 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 1: full report? 1283 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,240 Speaker 8: Sure well, First of Bill, thanks for having me on 1284 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 8: and we are on the precipice of a very very 1285 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 8: big year year. Right, not only do we have a 1286 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,200 Speaker 8: chance to take out our radical leftist Greg Lansman, but 1287 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,520 Speaker 8: this race could very well determine the House of Representative. 1288 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 8: So this is a very big year, not just locally 1289 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 8: here but nationally, and I'm very grateful for Senator Moreno's 1290 01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 8: endorsement and full trust in this race. In terms of 1291 01:06:58,440 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 8: my background, I was born and raised here on the 1292 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 8: West Side. I went to Elder High School and then 1293 01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 8: I went to the Air Force Academy for college. I 1294 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,760 Speaker 8: felt the call to serve, and I spent seven years 1295 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 8: as an active duty Air Force officer and did tours 1296 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,840 Speaker 8: in Japan and in Washington, d C. I left the 1297 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,320 Speaker 8: Air Force as a captain and I transitioned over to 1298 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,920 Speaker 8: the CIA, and I did about another seven years overseas 1299 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,280 Speaker 8: with the CIA, both at Middle Eastern war zones and 1300 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,520 Speaker 8: in the embassies across Europe. So I've got both a 1301 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 8: local perspective, being a hometown kid here and a West 1302 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 8: Side guy, but also a national and international one. I 1303 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 8: think that those are two valuable perspectives to put together 1304 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 8: to effectively advocate in DC for this district. 1305 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm always amazed at people having successful lives. I may 1306 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,120 Speaker 1: call you Captain Eric Conroy, and if you run for 1307 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 1: the Congress and actually win, you have to have two homes, 1308 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: one there and one here. It's a twenty four to 1309 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: seven job. You don't judge by many standards. You don't 1310 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 1: make a lot of money by the time you live 1311 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 1: in two different places. If you do it legitimate, unlike 1312 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,919 Speaker 1: many in Congress that don't do it legitimately, you don't 1313 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: make money. In fact, it cost you money. Brad Winstrip 1314 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: told me repeatedly running for Congress and serving for twelve 1315 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: years cost him a lot of money. If you do 1316 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 1: it right, it cost you money. If you do it 1317 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 1: the other way, you make a lot of money. Whether 1318 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,200 Speaker 1: you're Senator Mitch McConnell now worth about twenty million dollars, 1319 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 1: or look at elan Omar, now worth about thirty million dollars, 1320 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 1: or or Maxine Waters, now worth twenty five million dollars. 1321 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,759 Speaker 1: Having made a little bit of money, why is someone 1322 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 1: successful in a private life? Shall I say you appear 1323 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: to be in your thirties or forties, decide to give 1324 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 1: that away and actually run for Congress, which if you 1325 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: do it the right way is going to cost you 1326 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:43,799 Speaker 1: a lot of money. 1327 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 8: Well, look, we need people there for the right reasons, 1328 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 8: right And I've dedicated my entire life to service, both 1329 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 8: in the CIA, in the Air Force, serving in harms 1330 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 8: the way around the world. And no, I don't have 1331 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 8: a lot of money. I've been a government employee for 1332 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 8: most of my life. But I really view this as 1333 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,800 Speaker 8: that next chapter of service here advocating for home and 1334 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 8: it's something that gets me up every day in the morning. 1335 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 8: It's something I really want to continue to do. 1336 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 1: Your opponent likely will be Greg Lansman. He has some 1337 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 1: opposition also, but he's going to vote. I guess you're 1338 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: going to vote on Friday to defund ICE. Democrats have 1339 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 1: to do that in order to get the money from 1340 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee to hold their seat. So Greg Lansman, 1341 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:28,639 Speaker 1: who by the way, I do know who've ever met him. 1342 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,840 Speaker 1: But Greg's a nice guy, got a nice wife, got 1343 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: some nice kids. He's just a left winger Democrat and 1344 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,920 Speaker 1: he wants to defund ICE, and he wants to take 1345 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: away border enforcement, also wants to take away immigration. He 1346 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:43,759 Speaker 1: wants ICE to be gone in one way or another. 1347 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 1: And what is your position if you were into Congress 1348 01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 1: on this coming Friday, there's going to be a big 1349 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 1: vote to defund Department of Homeland Security. And by the way, 1350 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,840 Speaker 1: ICE is funded through twenty twenty nine, so this has 1351 01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 1: nothing to do with actually what they want to do, 1352 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,679 Speaker 1: which is defund ICE. They're funded the next four years. 1353 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 1: But he wants to take away a Department of Homeland Security, 1354 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 1: which is tsa agents, et cetera. How would you vote 1355 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:10,719 Speaker 1: on that issue if you were in the Congress. 1356 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 8: Well, well, make that mistake. Greg is a nice guy, 1357 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 8: but he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Right, he 1358 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 8: is not the moderate he claims. He plays the moderate 1359 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 8: character back here pretty well, and then he goes to 1360 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 8: DC and he votes with the leftist right. And this 1361 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,040 Speaker 8: is the problem, Right, he is not the he's not 1362 01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,639 Speaker 8: the moderate, he claims, he is not the reasonable person. 1363 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 8: He claims, right, he is a leftist. He votes with 1364 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,760 Speaker 8: the Democrats. He vote it was Biden about ninety eight 1365 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 8: percent of the time, WILLI, which is that's more on 1366 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,720 Speaker 8: part of the Nancy Pelosi or an AOC right. So 1367 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 8: we really need to get him out. And that's what 1368 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 8: this year is about. It's a huge year, and you know, 1369 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,599 Speaker 8: if we don't win the seat, we can lose control 1370 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,439 Speaker 8: of the House, which FAI also mean the impeachment at 1371 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,080 Speaker 8: President Trump. So we need to get serious about this race. 1372 01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 8: Bernie Moreno has gotten serious about this race. He's endorsed 1373 01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:00,280 Speaker 8: me this week, which we're very, very very happy about. 1374 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 8: And we need to get serious about this because these 1375 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,200 Speaker 8: democratic antics that Greg is promoting, like defenty nice is 1376 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:07,200 Speaker 8: just absolutely absurd. 1377 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: Well, on that front, it is perceived there was some 1378 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:15,559 Speaker 1: reapportionment going on in Columbus. Democrats and Republicans agreed and 1379 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,640 Speaker 1: they agreed to make your district one, which is Lansman's 1380 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 1: current seat, and they change the contours of that a 1381 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 1: little bit. It's a plus five Republican district. So on paper, 1382 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,640 Speaker 1: supposedly the Republicans are supposed to win district won. But 1383 01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 1: I can tell you that Lansman's going to be a 1384 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:33,679 Speaker 1: tough guy to take down. 1385 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,639 Speaker 2: He's you bick what his name? 1386 01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 1: I d He's going to have all the left wing 1387 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:39,760 Speaker 1: organizations supporting him. 1388 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:40,840 Speaker 2: One. 1389 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: You don't have a record to run on because you're 1390 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 1: new to politics, which I think is a positive not 1391 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:46,879 Speaker 1: a negative. 1392 01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:48,759 Speaker 2: So let me go over some of the issues. 1393 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 1: You tell me where you stand, like, for example, on abortion, 1394 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:53,759 Speaker 1: what is your position on abortion? 1395 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,959 Speaker 8: Look, every life has value, right, and I am very ProLife. 1396 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 8: This is something that we need to keep going on. 1397 01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 8: And you know, we have exceptions for rape incests in 1398 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:06,720 Speaker 8: life of the mother. But I'm a born and raised 1399 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,519 Speaker 8: Catholic and I toe that line. 1400 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,519 Speaker 1: What about the issue of small businesses, which is the 1401 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: heart and soul of our countries. About seventy five percent 1402 01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,599 Speaker 1: of the businesses in America are small businesses. What can 1403 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,719 Speaker 1: you do to assist small businesses succeed? 1404 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 8: Well, I think this is a larger question too. Right, 1405 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 8: A lot of Midwest economies are built on small businesses, 1406 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:32,640 Speaker 8: like Cincinnati, and we needn't have very tax friendly policies 1407 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 8: and growth friendly policies, and I think the President was 1408 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 8: starting to do that. We saw last year with the 1409 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 8: BBB a lot of great incentives in there that promote 1410 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 8: the growth of small businesses and put money. 1411 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,680 Speaker 3: Back into the pockets of. 1412 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 8: Small business owners. 1413 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 7: Right. 1414 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 8: I think this is going to promote a lot of growth, 1415 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 8: not just this year in the short term, but also 1416 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:52,120 Speaker 8: in the long term. 1417 01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 1: What about girls and boys sports and women and men's sports, 1418 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 1: And this is relatable a little bit to what happened 1419 01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: in Princeton High School a couple of days ago. The 1420 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: Princeton student body walked out in protest of ice with 1421 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,040 Speaker 1: the supportive administrators and teachers that are used as political 1422 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 1: props for a left wing agenda. Many parents are outraged 1423 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 1: about that. But what's your feelings about girls and boys 1424 01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 1: sports and men and women's sports and also walking out 1425 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 1: of school to protest federal law enforcement. 1426 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, this is this is ridiculous, right, and this is 1427 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 8: the environment that the Democrats have read, right, we can't 1428 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,439 Speaker 8: have men and women's sports. It is absurd and it 1429 01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,519 Speaker 8: really it does a disservice to the women competing in 1430 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,479 Speaker 8: those sports. Right, And this is why we need to 1431 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,920 Speaker 8: keep the House representatives and really get back to common 1432 01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,840 Speaker 8: sense governance because the West and Gray Nsman has gotten 1433 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 8: off on these fringe social topics that affect a very 1434 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,200 Speaker 8: small percentage of the population, and we need to give 1435 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 8: back to the basics and common sense governance. 1436 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,639 Speaker 1: That move on on the issue. I put this on 1437 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 1: my ex account a bit ago about what many Democrats 1438 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 1: and I could go over a brief list about what 1439 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:04,640 Speaker 1: Democrats believe, Liberals believe that men can get pregnant. Do 1440 01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,080 Speaker 1: you think men can get pregnant? 1441 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,639 Speaker 8: It sounds pretty far fetched to me now. And once again, 1442 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 8: this is the last they are skewing these wild ideas 1443 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 8: like Satan men can get pregnant, which is absurd because 1444 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 8: they're out of ideas. They don't have any they don't 1445 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,799 Speaker 8: have any any policy initiatives, they don't have any ideas, 1446 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,200 Speaker 8: they have no solutions for the big problems in our country. 1447 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,960 Speaker 8: They're out tooting these wild social agendas because they can't 1448 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 8: solve our larger problems. And this is why it's great 1449 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 8: to be a Republican under Donald Trump, because he is 1450 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 8: trying to solve some of our bigger picture issues. 1451 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 3: Right. 1452 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 8: He's promoting new ideas, he's promoting innovative ideas to solve 1453 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,640 Speaker 8: a lot of big picture issues, whether it be economic 1454 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,400 Speaker 8: or social in this country. And the Democrats in greg 1455 01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 8: Landsman just aren't doing that. They're running the circus of 1456 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 8: social issues, which is just a total disservice to everyday American. 1457 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:59,280 Speaker 1: Do you think churches should be sites for protest? If 1458 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 1: the don lem of this world want to go into 1459 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:05,160 Speaker 1: a Catholic mass or into a Jewish service and shout, 1460 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: holler and break up a church service. The Democrats tell 1461 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 1: us that's well, that's first Amendment. No, it's not a 1462 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: first amendment. 1463 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 2: One. 1464 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,560 Speaker 1: The first amendment is freedom practice your religion, speech in 1465 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 1: the press and assembly. But when they clash with each other, 1466 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 1: there's specific laws that say you can protest outside of church, 1467 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,200 Speaker 1: but inside church that's the only place where you're safe 1468 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: to practice your religion. Do you think churches are sites 1469 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:31,880 Speaker 1: for political protests? 1470 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,680 Speaker 8: What Don Lemon did was absolutely repulsive. Right, he's interrupting 1471 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,160 Speaker 8: her religious service. This is a terrible thing to do, right, Like, 1472 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 8: those sites need to be protected, those people need to 1473 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 8: be able to worship in peace, and it was absolutely 1474 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:45,960 Speaker 8: repulsive what he did. 1475 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 2: All right.

You can check 1481 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 8: out my story there and my fourteen years combined in 1482 01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 8: the Air Force and the CIA. And once again, we 1483 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 8: really need to take this district back and I am 1484 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,679 Speaker 8: the only candidate who is able to effectively beat Greg Lansman. 1485 01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:20,880 Speaker 8: And that's due to my leadership, skills, perspective, and the 1486 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 8: resources that we have to do it. And Bernie knows that, 1487 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 8: which is why he endorsed me this week. So time 1488 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 8: for us to get serious. We need to circle the wagons, 1489 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:30,439 Speaker 8: and we need to get this done. 1490 01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,519 Speaker 1: You know, Eric, we get the government we deserve. And 1491 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,840 Speaker 1: if more than the American people don't pay attention to 1492 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: what's occurring in our country and how each individual vote 1493 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 1: means a lot, then we're going to have The left is. 1494 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:42,679 Speaker 2: Going to seize. 1495 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,600 Speaker 1: I see on Tuesday yesterday at left wing radical in 1496 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,160 Speaker 1: Virginia in a congressional district beat a moderate Democrat easily. 1497 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 1: And I see all over the country that when a 1498 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 1: Democrat runs against the Republican, about ninety five percent of 1499 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,759 Speaker 1: the time in an open seat, the Democrat win wins 1500 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 1: because the Democratic base is energized, They're ready to get 1501 01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 1: out and vote against Trump for whatever reason they have 1502 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: in their mind. Democrats are energized and the Republicans are 1503 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:10,919 Speaker 1: not energized to vote. 1504 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:12,719 Speaker 2: I had a guest on the other day. 1505 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 1: Jeff crue Era, wrote a column at town hall dot 1506 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: Com about how the Trump voter is standing down because 1507 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, the numbers today were unbelievable. As far as 1508 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,759 Speaker 1: the economy, it's growing. The economy is growing. One hundred 1509 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,720 Speaker 1: and forty thousand jobs are created. Everything that should be 1510 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,679 Speaker 1: up is up, Everything that should be down is down. 1511 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,200 Speaker 1: But if more Republican voters say, to hell with it, 1512 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,840 Speaker 1: it's not really important for me to vote anymore because 1513 01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,520 Speaker 1: Trump's not on the ballot, what would you tell them. 1514 01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,679 Speaker 8: Well, I say that the Democrats are very very good 1515 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 8: at manufacturing emotion, right, and that's what they do best. 1516 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 8: And I'd say, you know, a lot of Republicans and 1517 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,679 Speaker 8: Trump supports, we're happy, We're contently like what the president's doing, 1518 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:52,920 Speaker 8: and it's a little bit of a different mindset. But 1519 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 8: we can't lick complacency via enemy are or we're going 1520 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 8: to lose the House. And we can't lose the House 1521 01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:00,720 Speaker 8: because if we lose the House, and it's likely to 1522 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 8: get impeached. So we really need to treat this year 1523 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 8: almost like it's a presidential election year, right, because the 1524 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 8: stakes are high. We need everybody out there to vote. 1525 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 1: Eric Conroy Ericiconroy dot com, thanks for coming on the 1526 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 1: bill Cunningham Show this Wednesday afternoon.

And I see a press release issued by 1547 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 1: Ohio State University. They recently hired an assistant professor of 1548 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:27,720 Speaker 1: Black Sexualities. High State University hired an assistant professor of 1549 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:33,800 Speaker 1: Black Sexualities whose areas of expertise include Black sexual logics 1550 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: and Black study programs. The course of study will take 1551 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:41,840 Speaker 1: up visual cultures in the Black community, black feminist theories, 1552 01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 1: black porn how it affects relationships. Also, dark Black studies. 1553 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 1: Anti Blackness will be a course along with Black sexual 1554 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:55,759 Speaker 1: logics along with quote Black queer theory, along with Black 1555 01:19:55,880 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 1: digital intimacy, along with Black sound studies and Black sexual violence. 1556 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: And this woman hired to do this. She's using she 1557 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 1: and they pronouns. Has interesting coursework including the sexuality of 1558 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:18,160 Speaker 1: Black logistics, Black social studies, Anti Blackness, and Black digital intimacy. 1559 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm reading the coursework a degree in Black sexuality. She 1560 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 1: engages black material and black digital publics at landscapes to 1561 01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:33,000 Speaker 1: trace the human sexual geographics between the relationship of black females, 1562 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:37,320 Speaker 1: black men, and other categories. She was hired because the 1563 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 1: Mellon Foundation gave Ohio State University three million dollars to 1564 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,599 Speaker 1: transform the Department of African American and African Studies because 1565 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't serving the black community. Now, if you're a 1566 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 1: normal person who happens to be black, do you spend 1567 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 1: much time thinking about black feminist theory or dark Black studies, 1568 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,799 Speaker 1: or how to become anti black or how to engage 1569 01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:04,280 Speaker 1: in black sexual logistics? Man, I don't think so. How 1570 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:08,040 Speaker 1: about this one? Black sound studies and Black geographies and 1571 01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,800 Speaker 1: black sexual violence? Are you kidding me? As a consequence 1572 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 1: to all this, this is more money being wasted that 1573 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,360 Speaker 1: should be spent. If the Mellon Foundation wants to pay 1574 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:23,559 Speaker 1: for this kind of crap, possibly they make sure that students, black, white, 1575 01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:28,960 Speaker 1: or otherwise actually achieve success at certain disciplines in life 1576 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:33,600 Speaker 1: other than Black sexuality and black rape. And the coursework 1577 01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 1: here is utterly ridiculous and that amounts to nothing as 1578 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 1: a consequence. I don't know how someone at Ohio State. 1579 01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll contact the governor otherwise. But according to this 1580 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,439 Speaker 1: press release, the Mellon Foundation gave Ohio State two million 1581 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 1: dollars to support faculties hiring the Department of African American 1582 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 1: and African Studies, and then this woman came on board 1583 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 1: to receive a separate three million dollar grant from the 1584 01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:02,480 Speaker 1: Mellon Foundation to has formed the sexuality of African Americans 1585 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 1: and African studies and support faculty led humanity scholarships. If 1586 01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 1: you would graduate with this kind of a degree, where 1587 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: do you work? 1588 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 2: What do you do? 1589 01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:16,519 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's what passes today for higher education. 1590 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 1: Let's continue with more two thirty Home of your Reds 1591 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 1: reporting right now all on news radio seven hundred w LW, Cincinnati. 1592 01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:28,920 Speaker 8: It's everybody says, it's just a game. 1593 01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:30,799 Speaker 3: Matter. 1594 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,759 Speaker 6: We play it hard, we play when. 1595 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:42,360 Speaker 3: Long again. 1596 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,840 Speaker 1: Oh hello, quiet. 1597 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 2: God, anight rock. 1598 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 1: We're sitting here on the precipice of the twenty twenty 1599 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:02,559 Speaker 1: six Reds baseball season. Today's the first day. What are 1600 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,559 Speaker 1: your early indications to be played later in October as 1601 01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: to where the Reds will be this year when it's 1602 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,519 Speaker 1: all said and done, give me a full report. 1603 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 9: I feel positive about it. I think got four starting pitchers. 1604 01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 9: If healthy on paper, look really good, you get the 1605 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 9: Suarez pick up. 1606 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,640 Speaker 1: A couple of things need to happen. Eli de la Cruz. 1607 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,479 Speaker 9: Needs to have a second half of the season that 1608 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,639 Speaker 9: looked like his first half the season, So right right down, 1609 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,599 Speaker 9: that's number one. Number two in this in my opinion, 1610 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,799 Speaker 9: maybe the most important. We need Matt McClain to return 1611 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:34,960 Speaker 9: back to the player he was in twenty twenty three. 1612 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 9: He misses twenty four with the injury. Then last year 1613 01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:40,960 Speaker 9: struggled a lot really toward the end of the year. 1614 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 9: If I recall, I think he had a little bit 1615 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,080 Speaker 9: better end of the season. But if he returns a 1616 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 9: twenty twenty three form, I think that may be the 1617 01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 9: biggest factor in all this. For all those reasons and more, 1618 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 9: I have hope. 1619 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 1: Plus we have Suarez. Plus we have a starting rotation, 1620 01:23:56,240 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 1: the top four, Green, Ladolos and Singer are pretty good. 1621 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 1: The bullpen looks better, the the younger players are a 1622 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,799 Speaker 1: year better.
