WEBVTT - Ken Broo in for Bill Cunningham -- 1/19/26 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.039 All right, it's the average American and for the great American. 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:13.800 On this Martin Luther King Junior Day, and a day 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.560 of great note, I think we should pause and just 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.840 reflect on that, just for a moment. Those of us 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.239 who were children of the sixties understand what a great 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.479 man this man was and how his life was cut 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.680 down far too short. A great man of peace, great 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:37.240 man of vision, somebody that not only did so much 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.920 for his own race, but cut across racial lines and 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:47.279 understood that you get nowhere by yelling and screaming, but 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:52.559 you get everywhere by talking and acting and leading, and 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.920 so on this day, I think of some of the 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.200 great moments that he had in his life, and wonder 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.200 about the great moments he could have had had his 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.520 life not be cut short. So today is Martin Luther 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.640 King Junior Day. It is a day that is resplendent, 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.600 with a lot of other things going on that we 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.399 will get to between now and three o'clock. And we 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.040 are one day away from the one year anniversary of 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:22.120 Trump two point zero. Trump two point zero. Now, a 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.120 lot of people, I think, were expecting Trump to be 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.199 different in his demeanor, and he is somewhat, but He's 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.880 still not lovable and huggable. I think a lot of 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.600 people wanted what Trump promised to do and what he's 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.600 carrying out, but maybe they didn't want it done as 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.199 clumsily as what Trump does. But Trump is a disruptor, 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.319 He's a changer, and the next three years will go 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.760 a long way and determining whether or not these changes 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.200 that he campaigned on and he's starting to deliver on, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.680 if these changes will be things that have a short 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.920 shelf life or something that might just be gone with 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.240 the wind if Trump and the GOP is run out 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:05.720 of office in twenty twenty eight. Now, somebody that understands 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.240 all of this, I don't explain any of this is 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.960 standing by to join us right now. He is flashing 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.520 euphemistically speaking online one And it's a great day when 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.360 we could get political analysts and a man who looks 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.200 at life and says, let's live at the Winsome way. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.200 It's our good buddy from out in the buckle of 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.840 the Bible belt, out there in the Midwest, where the 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.400 grain grows great and the sun shines bright. It's our 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.600 good buddy, Dan Snell, how are you on this glorious Monday? 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.960 I am doing dandy. Thank you so much, Ken for 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.760 those kind words. Always good to be on the nation's station. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.160 You know, I looked up why you were called that, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.040 and President Trump and WLW SEFNE have something in common. 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.720 There's never been anything like it before ever ever, as 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.760 Trump always says it, that's because I learned the wlw's 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.480 first five hundred thousand watts and only five hundred thousand 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.320 watt station before you were said, they said, can't do 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.240 that anymore? Mean historic? 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.560 Yeah, where I live, you used to be able to 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.200 get it in your toaster. You put your toaster out 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.359 there for morning toasts and you'd hear WLW five hundred 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.600 thousand watts. And if the world goes sideways, Dan, if 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.560 for some reason that we're invaded by aliens or there's 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.880 some other cataclysmic event, it's one of the few radio 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.000 stations that will remain on the air. We're right out 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.320 there at Voice of America Plaza, out there just right 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.320 by the transmitter, which is a giant edifice stand that 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.480 looks like it tickles Mars. It's so big. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.400 Yes, indeed, I read about it. I was very impressed. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.560 You are the modern day You were the truth Social 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.160 before truth social existed. Trump Trump would try to acquire 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.680 you or make you the national station if he were 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.000 president back in nineteen thirty five or whatever. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.320 Yeah, well, you know, right after Greenland, he may be 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.839 coming for us. Who knows. All right, So I wanted 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.440 to get you on to talk about the good and 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.120 the bad at Trump. I mean, there are plenty in 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.880 each column, There's no question about that. The thing I 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.320 think is if we just extract what these polls are 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.160 out there, which you know, I don't pay attention to them. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.000 I think they're old metrics. I think political junkies like them. 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.719 I think the only poll accounts is election day. But 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.680 if you extract all of that and just say, for 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.400 the moment that, okay, Trump is probably at best underwater 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.400 by about eight points. In some polls conducted by left 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.240 wing organizations like CBS News, he's down by thirteen or 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.599 fourteen points, as you know, as I look at what 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.320 he's done, and we're not going to see the fruits 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.400 of this until later on this year. But this big 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.440 beautiful bill, which is now a big beautiful law that 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.360 was passed allegedly, we're getting tax cuts, no tax on tips, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:58.200 reduced taxes, on social security, huge GDP growth, and you 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.440 know internationally Dan look out and Rod's nuclear capability extracted. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.800 An illegal president in Venezuela, sees the oil fields that 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.520 rightfully belonged to the oil companies from America that were 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.760 run out by that by that government, and he stopped, 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.080 for all intents and purposes, illegal immigration. So I think 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.080 on his good on his good column, on his got 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.279 it done column, I think it's rather it's rather you know, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.400 lofty there. But the bad column, I think is the 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.359 thing that just overshadows all of that, unfortunately, and that 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.120 is we lost a lot of jobs in twenty twenty five, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.680 didn't create a whole lot of jobs in twenty twenty five, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.960 And there's still this, I guess, this disconnect between Wall 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.200 Street and Main Street. And I think that's what's probably 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.560 more than anything, dragging this guy down in the minds 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.000 of the public. Now, tell me where I'm wrong here 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.320 and where we should embellish. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.800 Yeah, you know, you have an excellent points. You know, 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.600 America wanted some of the things with regards to immigration 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.680 and paying it time, to the economy, which is what 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.360 he he ran on, and being strong across the world, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.240 and Donald Trump's had a lot of wins. We'll give him. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.120 We'll give him wins and some good policy ideas. The 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.880 challenges he faces, and you and I have talked about 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.640 this now for perhaps five years. Is sometimes his words 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.919 that he chooses aren't as winsome as I'd like him to. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.280 And he follows he follows some of his big victories 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.919 with then words or behavior that people go, why is 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.200 he doing that? What's going on? And currently we know 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.279 we have the Greenland and even the last twenty four 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.640 hours he sends a note to the Prime Minister of 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:46.440 Norway talking about tying Greenland to the Nobel Prize, which 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.160 you know, kind of shocked people. And now tariffs on Europe. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.479 So that's just one example. In twenty twenty six, we 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.200 have a lot of great things going that he can 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.920 celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.800 We've got to work on, you know, elections coming up, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:07.160 and so if he does not adjust his words and 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:11.360 his flamboyancy, and it's going to be a tough year. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.640 If the economy does get on back on track, he 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.600 can celebrate that and focus on that. But right now 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.920 I speak to groups about the winsome way, and I've 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:27.280 spoken some rotary groups recently, and even in the heartland 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.400 of America, which has traditionally been pretty strong for Trump, 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.040 there are people that are questioning the economy and for 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.720 sure his behavior. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:36.440 Yeah. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.520 You know, the thing is, if anybody thought Trump was 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.960 going to be different in his behavior of verbiage from 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.520 Trump one point zero, they simply weren't paying attention. And 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.520 the second thing I would I would say to all 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.440 of that is Trump can't get a win in the media. 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.160 He can't the media roots against this guy. I mean, Dan, 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.200 I worked in Washington, d C. I saw how the 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.840 sausage was. I worked in local television for forty five years. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.600 I know the kinds of people that populate both, and 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.680 they're populated greatly by people that simply don't embrace conservative 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.000 ways and our rooting openly. It seems at times for 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.120 this guy to fail, and so he gets frustrated. And 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.920 I think at times that frustration overwhelms him and he 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.960 doesn't know how to deal with it. I don't think 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.920 he's got enough people around him, and this is probably 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.680 through his own doing. Who tell him. Look, let's step 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.480 back a second. Let's take a deep breath. Let's not 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.560 go down that road. And I think that's a major 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.040 problem for him too. You can't have a bunch of 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.959 yes people around you or you're doomed to fail. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:46.320 Would you agree, absolutely? Yeah. I think Susie Wilds as 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.480 the chief of staff is a pretty strong that he 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.280 should listen to her more than listen to his number 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.520 two person there, Steven Miller. I think Steven Miller, for 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.920 whatever reason, was wounded in life and thinks he has 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:03.719 to constantly take it out on anything, any subject or 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.240 any person. And I think key plants seeds in the 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.120 president's here that the president then acts on and it 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:15.080 doesn't serve the president's persona. And I think this year 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.240 that there's got to be there will be a defining 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:22.360 moment that something will turn him around. I have noticed 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.400 that he does do some of these words. He likes 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.240 to just get a rise out of Democrats or a 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.760 rise out of the media. However, as you said, the 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.520 media takes that because they're trying to do their job 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.960 and they spin it negatively against the president. You know, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.280 we do have the biggest things concerns being concerning all media, 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.600 social media to mainstream media. You and I have talked 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.720 about this for years, is that we're so divided. I 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.320 have friends that send me from the far left and 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.480 the far right. They send me videos and clips and shorts. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.440 See how bad the right is, See how bad the 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.439 left is. And you know, I'm standing in the middle 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.120 trying to say, you know, flush out that. Hey, that's 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.880 fifteen percent on the left and fifteen percent on the right. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.240 And the good people of Ohio, Cincinnati, or Kansas City, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.040 or a good old Nebraska by the way, undefeated University 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.360 of Nebraska basketball at eighteen and no, we look at things. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.760 So is Miami of Ohio. So is Miami of Ohio too. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.520 They're only about bumbo. Okay, all right, So. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.520 We get the radicals on both sides, and it's dividing 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.520 the country. And I just hate to see that. Minneapolis. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.400 What's going on there is a horrible situation. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.360 Yeah, it is. And I think what you're going to 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.640 see unfortunately in Minneapolis, unless it changes as quickly as 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:43.120 you are going to see some sort of military presence 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.640 in there, over and beyond the Ice agents. It's going 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.280 that way. They have a weak governor who is desperately 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.960 trying to distract everybody from the fact that he's one 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.760 of the most fraudulent governors in the history of America, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.680 and he's got a mayor who's right up there with 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.960 him in Minneapolis, and it was matter from heaven when 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.319 all of this ice thing exploded in his town. It 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.360 distracted the public, and it obviously distracted the media, who 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:14.840 wasn't really a hip to the whole deception and fraud 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.520 that was going on up there. But be that as 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.960 it may, Yeah, I think we voted in twenty twenty 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.880 for a guy who turned out to be, you know, 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.079 adam minded to be kind about Joe Biden turned out 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.920 to be adamminded because we didn't like the way Trump 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.400 Trump behaved, we didn't like his tweets, we didn't like 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.319 the way he talked, and we saw what we got 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.440 over the course of twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.680 So yeah, I think Trump is it's incumbent upon Trump. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.200 If he really wants to save the GOP in the 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.760 midterms and if he really wants somebody like JD. Vans 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.520 to carry on his legacy, he's going to have to 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.640 brush up and he's going to have to change. And 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.160 I just don't know if he's capable of that. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:59.320 Dan, Yeah, I think he's pretty set in his ways. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.680 You stay excellent point is that he is a little 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.440 bit sensitive. I'm surprising to me that a man that's 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.120 been that successful in life. You know, my background is 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.360 the referee and the politician. I always pick the hobbies 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.719 where you get heckled the most, right, So I think 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.079 I can he needs to maybe go referee of basketball 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.800 gate or where he's just very sensitive and I think 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.040 he just needs to tough him up a little bit, which, 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.160 as I don't think is going to happen. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:24.680 Yeah. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.920 Well, you said that there could be some event here 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.240 in this year that that could turn the tables one 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.200 way or the other for Trump, and I think he 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.720 desperately needs it. He's trying to create things, the things 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.719 that do that that turn the tables or change the 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.960 narrative or gets whatever maybe he's interested in, and that's 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.000 the success of his party going in another direction. Most 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.720 of the time, those things are organic. They don't grow 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.360 anywhere from somebody's idea and hey, we're going to have 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.079 this great idea or this mid term convention or something 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.920 like that. It's something that that's organic that usually popped 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.720 up when you have an event like that. Am I 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:03.320 right or wrong? 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.679 Yeah, you're right. We do see a movement now and 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.680 smaller numbers. But it was of Republican senators and some 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.760 congressmen trying to suddenly get the attention of the president 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.320 by standing up to him on things like Greenland and 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.760 some of the different events the War Powers Act. And 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.280 so I think we may be good to have another 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.000 Republican meeting, a rally that they might have there in 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.319 Washington to talk about, Hey, how are we going to 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.839 get on the same ship. We don't always have to 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.640 drink the same my tie or the same drink on 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.680 the cruise ship, but let's get the cruise ship going 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:40.560 to the same place. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.880 You know. I mean this whole thing with Greenland, and 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.440 it's you know again, it's a hot topic because Davos 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.760 is starting this week and Trump is going over there. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.679 Trump isn't going to invade Greenland. I mean, that's a 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.120 fast track to an impeachment that would stick. That ain't happening. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.640 And he's not going to buy Greenland. That we don't 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.680 have the money to buy Greenland. I suppose we could 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.040 print currency, but right now, if you haven't noticed, we've 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.520 print a lot of currency. I think what he's doing, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.200 and this is obviously just a layman's analysis here, you 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.280 know far better than me. I think he's just trying 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.400 to get everybody's attention. What he really wants are the 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.760 minerals that lie beneath Greenland. Greenland's a miserable place for 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.560 about six months out of the year. I don't think anybody, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.640 even the people that live in Greenland, really want to 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.880 be there, and so I think he's just trying to 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:29.280 get added or get more of those minerals out of 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.360 the ground that we need for things like pharmaceuticals and 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.440 a stronger military presence in Greenland because he doesn't want 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.120 China anywhere around that island. And I think all this 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.840 other stuff is just bluster and negotiating and controlling the 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.400 world narrative now is the world comes to a stage 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.880 again at Davos. That's what I think is going on 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.200 here with Greenland. I don't really think he wants it, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:50.960 to be honest with you. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.760 It's going to be an interesting next couple of weeks 0:14:54.800 --> 0:15:00.200 with Europe gathering together and some of both sides of 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.520 standing up and throwing their chests at each other and saying, hey, 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.600 you're not going to do this or I am going 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.160 to do this. I think President Trump has the right 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.720 idea in looking at what's the future of the world 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.600 when he even talked about Canada or agreement, but the 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.160 way that he went about it, his approach instead of 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.480 trying to say, hey, let's put our heads together and 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.520 see how we could keep the world safe for long 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.640 term twenty five years from now, but the way that 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.600 he just ruffled feathers so much. And that's his style 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.800 because he's a billionaire that's always been able to throw 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.560 money and power around and influence, and you can't always 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.800 do that when you're in the world of politics. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:45.160 If the phone call came tonight from Susan Wils's chief 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.240 of staff to you, Dan Snell, knowing that you have 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.080 run for political office multiple times and you've written a 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.360 number of books The Winsome Way, The Winsome Candidate, and 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.280 knowing that you are at heart a Reagan Republican, and 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.280 Susan called you and she said, Dan, we need you 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.520 here in the White House where we need to start 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.120 advising the President as to what direction he needs to 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.280 go here in the next eight months so we're not 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.560 ambushed in November, because if the Democrats get in and 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.960 get control of the House in November, their first order 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.400 of business won't be anything that benefits you, me, or 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.560 anyone else. Their first order of business will be to 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.080 impeach Donald Trump. We know it's coming. So if she 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.560 called you and you say, okay, Susan, I'll be out 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.840 there tomorrow. I get on a NonStop flight right now 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.480 in Kansas City. I'll see you tomorrow morning. As you 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.000 walked into the Oval office with Susan Wiles, and she said, 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.840 Susan said, here is Dan Snell to help us out. 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.400 Mister President, what would you tell. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:45.920 Him, Well, thank you for even thinking I could do that, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.120 because I do. But I honestly believe I could make 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.080 a difference there in Washington, DC. I'd probably wear my 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.600 referee shirt and I'd walk in and say, mister President, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:59.040 this is my college officiating shirt, and this is a whistle, 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.760 and I'm going to blow this whistle when I see 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.680 you doing something that's unsports than my conduct. It's hurting you, sir, 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.800 and it's hurting Republican Party, and it's hurting the court. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.600 And the court is the game instead of basketball to 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:19.480 the United States. So yeah, I honestly believe. And sometimes 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.399 this happens around this time of the year where they 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.400 make some adjustments in the administration and officials leave and stay. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.680 But what would you tell What would you tell him, though, Dan, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.439 What would you say? What would your first order of 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.719 business be? I mean, blow the whistle? Great, you probably 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.160 get all the yes men in the office. The whistle blows, Hey, 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.560 we better go. But what would what would you specifically 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:38.120 tell him? 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.360 I'd say, mister President, I believe that I represent the 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.560 heartland of America, and probably that's about seventy percent across 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:50.440 the whole country, not just the heartland. But mister President, 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.960 you're you're off track. You're on the wrong course in 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.120 how you're going about some of these things. And I, sir, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.040 want to serve you, to make you historically a great 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:05.080 legacy and the big America better. But the way you're 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.159 doing it, you're going to cause a big loss in 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:12.520 twenty six in the midterms, and you're going to end 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.720 up in the history books not the way you want 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.120 to do it. And so please listen to me. And 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.080 if you don't listen to me, I'm going to keep 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.320 pushing until you do. He needs somebody that can stand 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.800 up to him. You know, Donald Trump puts his pants 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.879 on the same way I do. He's just a guy. Yeah, 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.720 he could do whatever he wanted to do to me, 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.600 but he's got to have someone that says enough, sir, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:35.480 enough and. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.680 Yeah he says enough, and somebody yeah, I mean you 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.680 got yeah, You've got to. I mean he needs somebody. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:45.280 I think you'd be a hell of a guy in 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.560 that ovalhelf and stand to be honest. We need somebody 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.360 going there and just talk reality to him. And he's 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.080 at war with the world. He's at war with the press, 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.479 and the American people grew tired of it back in 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.679 his first term. And that's how we got Joe Biden. 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:04.359 God forbid. In twenty twenty eight, regardless of who runs, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.080 God forbid, this country gets somebody like Gavin Newsom. Because 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.320 if you thought Kamala Harris could have been bad, and 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.199 if you thought Joe Biden was bad, wait till that 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.520 guy gets into the Oval office. And my god, I 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.880 just thought today the California owes the federal government one 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.960 billion dollars because of the medical aid that they're providing 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.440 to illegal aliens in California. And that's just the tip 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.360 of it. They've got all kinds of wild ideas out 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.840 there that are basically printing money to give away to 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.480 this group or that group. God forbids somebody like that 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.160 shows up in the White House in twenty twenty eight. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.520 But Dan, our time is up. I do think you 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.760 can make that phone call now. I can track down 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.240 Susan Wilds if you want. You know, she used to 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.520 be She's the daughter of the late Pat Numberol, So 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.840 I'm sure I can find her numbers somewhere if I 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.280 get it. Can I give you her number? Will that 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:55.760 be all right? 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.480 Absolutely? I would love to talk to her. I've also 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.480 thought about trying to reach out to an interviewer, but 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:03.679 you know, one of the executive orders I have him 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.040 do first is make WLW back to five hundred thousand 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.200 wats like we opened with, because then the truth, justice 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.919 in American way, and goodness would be sent throughout the land. 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:14.960 Yeah. 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.280 All those executives from Cumulus Radio just hit the just 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:22.840 hit the floor screaming, Oh no, we are the heart 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:23.920 that beats at iHeart. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:25.000 Listen. 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.040 Uh, Dan, you stay well and you and I'll be 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:28.400 in touch. 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.560 Thanks for your time, all right, Stay winsome. 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.520 Yes, sir, somebody's got to pull.
