31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: what it is that this nation needs? So Gary Jeff,

32
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: who's quite the acolyte of Andy Basheer, will be here

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: too to discuss that. What else do we have going on?

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: My buddy Adam Burd will be here in the ten

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. He is had a hearing on in Columbus.

36
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: I almost said Capitol Hill, but it was in Columbus,

37
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and he's talking about the bill that he is sponsoring

38
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: to deny nil money to the high school kids. And

39
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: he had Steve Speck, the head coach of Xavier Foot

40
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Saint Xavier Football high school football, as one of his witnesses,

41
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and he testified before the committee and speck gave just

42
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: some really really good thoughts to the committee up there,

43
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: and his take was very interesting on this. He says, look,

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not opposed to the idea of kids,

45
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, making money, name, image and likeness. But what

46
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: he is posed to is the idea of pay for play.

47
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: And he says, and he makes a good point. He says,

48
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: the only model that we really have to look at

49
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: is what's happening in the NCAA. He does not want

50
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: to see anything even approaching that happening on the high

51
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: school level here in Ohio. So we've got we'll hear

52
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of a sound from Steve Speckt and

53
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: what he had to say before the committee in Columbus.

54
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt did a news conference today from the White

55
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: House and she was just just absolutely on fire. And

56
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: this was today. Today was the big event at the

57
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: White House to celebrate to celebrate Black History Month. And

58
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Trump had a great event there with all kinds of

59
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: supporters and just a ripper or an event that he

60
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: had there. So Caroline Levitt as it really is one

61
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: of my most favorite people. And I think this continues.

62
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to press secretaries I think

63
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: when he had uh da gone. Now I can't think

64
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: of her name. She's the governor of Arkansas. Now her

65
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: name's right on the tip of my tongue with no kim.

66
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: But she was a great She was a great secretary

67
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: press secretary. And so is Caroline Levitt. So he uh

68
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and I keep why does his name Bobbitt keep popping

69
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: up in my head? Come on, Dan, No, it's uh

70
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: huckeby Sarah Huckabye Sanders. That's one thinking about she was.

71
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: She was terrific as a as a press secretary. But

72
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt was there today and uh, Joe Waldell, do

73
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: we have the audio ready that I said in earlier?

74
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: Do we have cut number two ready? Okay, okay, let

75
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: me set this up. So one of the questions, and

76
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: of course this being black history monk, one of the

77
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: questions that that she got was from this stooge from

78
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: CBS News guy named Ed O'Toole. And you'll hear him.

79
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: He's he's you know, he's asking the questions. So it's

80
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: been it's a little bit hard to hear him. But

81
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: he asked a question about Trump and racism, and Caroline Levitt, Look,

82
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: you have to if you would think that these reporters

83
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: that cover the White House would would learn by now

84
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: that you have to come You got to come strong

85
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: if you're going to come after Caroline Levitt, because she

86
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: is not going to fall for any of your idiotic drivel.

87
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: And so here's how she handled the question, of course,

88
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: about Trump being a racist, and she just did it expertly.

89
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: Here's cut number two. Let's hear it.

90
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Yesterday, in his statement about Jesse Jackson, the President said,

91
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: despite the fact that I'm falsely and consistently called a

92
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: racist by the scoundrels and lunatics on the radical left Democrats,

93
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: all he was always my pleasure to help Jesse along

94
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: the way, Where or when does the president believe he's

95
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: been falsely called racist?

96
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: You're kidding, right, I will pull you plethora of examples.

97
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to get my team in that room to

98
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: start going through the internet of radical Democrats throughout the

99
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: years ed who have accused this president falsely of being

100
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: a racist. And I'm sure there's many people in this

101
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: room and on network television across the country who have

102
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: accused him of the same. In fact, I know that

103
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: because I've seen it with my own eyes, and the

104
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: President very much looks forward to having a event later

105
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: this afternoon at three pm to celebrate Black History Month

106
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: and to talk about how his policies are advancing opportunity

107
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: and prosperity for all Americans through record tax cuts through

108
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: the Trump Accounts that all Americans can access regardless of race.

109
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: These are a great thing for the next generation of Americans.

110
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: The President has also awarded hundreds of millions of dollars

111
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: in additional funding to strengthen educational outcomes at historically black

112
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: colleges and universities across the country. Again, the President is

113
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: protecting the hard earned benefits of the two point four

114
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: million black veterans who honorably served in our nation's armed

115
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: forces by reducing the black backlog of veterans waiting for

116
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: their VA benefits and for their home loans through the

117
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: Veteran Department of Veterans Affairs. So there is a lot

118
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: this President has done for all Americans, regardless of race.

119
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: And he has absolutely been falsely called and smeared as

120
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: a racist. And I'm happy to provide you those receivings,

121
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: and we gladly will right after this briefing.

122
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: And she did right after the briefing, she went and

123
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: she posted. One thing she posted was a list of Democrats.

124
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: Democrat politicians who have spent years calling Trump a racist

125
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: every opportunity that they have. Here's Alex Padilla, Trump's immigration

126
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: rhetoric is racist. Senator Corey Booker, we know Donald Trump

127
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: is a racist. Mazie Herono. Trump's hateful and racist rhetoric

128
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: is unacceptable. Chuck Schumer, the president once again whipped up

129
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: a toxic brew of racist. We've got Senator ed Marky.

130
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Trump's travel ban is racism disguised as security, xenophobia disguised

131
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: as policy. Tim Kaine all, I need to condemn President

132
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Trump's racist language about COVID nineteen Jasmine Crockett. Trump never

133
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: misses an opportunity to be a racist. The list goes

134
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump is

135
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: a racist bully. Joe Biden the most racist president in

136
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: American history. And Joe Biden, of course, ran his entire

137
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: campaign on the lie that Donald Trump, Remember, the very

138
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: fine people on both sideline had proven time and time

139
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: again to be absolutely fake, false, and phony. So Caroline

140
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: Levitt comes up with a headline from the Boston Globe.

141
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: Is that his trump erase, it's the answer for many

142
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: seems to be yes. Uh, let's see, here's let me

143
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: find Oh, here's She provided a cut of Don Lemon

144
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: CNN tonight. I'm Don Lemon, the President of the United

145
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: States is a racist. A lot of us already knew that.

146
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

147
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Here's uh she well, there was a cut from the

148
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: uh the debate between Biden and Trump. Here's from the

149
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Guardian Trump's death penalty pledge for Washington d c is

150
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: ugly racial politics. And the headlines and the the clips

151
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: that she provided of the including one from Mark or

152
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: not Marquee, but the the reporter from ABC News, this

153
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: stooge that asked the question ed O'Keefe, including one from

154
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: him where he calls Trump a racist. So yeah, he

155
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: wants to take the the of the advent of it

156
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: being Black History Month. And then Trump's a post about

157
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson yesterday to just further this narrative, this worn out,

158
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: tired narrative that Trump is a racist. And then he

159
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: wants to pretend as if Trump is off his rocker

160
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: because he talks about what the media does to him constantly.

161
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: And Caroline Levitt was absolutely ready. It was just fantastic.

162
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: She called it one of the dumbest questions in the

163
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: history of press briefings. So Caroline Levitt again earning the

164
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: money that she makes as the press secretary for the president.

165
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Ken and Mason, what's going on tonight?

166
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 5: Dan, you got a good topic started there. It's kind

167
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 5: of what I wanted to talk about.

168
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 6: Is this?

169
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 7: She fantastic? I mean, come on, you got to get props.

170
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 5: I hope your listeners understand that this started one hundred

171
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 5: years ago. Destroying the Republicans. Part of Marxism news is

172
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: you destroy the character of your opponent. And at every

173
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 5: stop since Donald Trump came down that elevator in twenty fifteen,

174
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: they've tried to destroy him. Every day they put out

175
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 5: a message that destroys his character. It's lie on top,

176
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 5: a lie on top, a lie on top a lie,

177
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 5: you know, and they're having success doing that.

178
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 8: Damn.

179
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 5: We need to understand that. We talked last week about

180
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 5: the republic messaging. They have to get their messages much much,

181
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 5: much stronger. You know, these Democrats are never going to

182
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 5: stop lying. This is part of the plan. They're weaponizing lying.

183
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 5: They talk that the economy is bad, the economy is

184
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 5: better than it's ever been. You know, it's going to

185
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: take two years get this county back on his feet.

186
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 5: We need to let people know America is moving in

187
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 5: the right direction. We need to understand that these people

188
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: are not Americans. They do not love America, they do

189
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 5: not want to see America succeed. They do not care

190
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: about the Constitution, you know. And unfortunately the Republicans, we

191
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: have idiots like Thomas Massey that wants to fight trumpet

192
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: every ledger. And I mean, does that mean Massey stands

193
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: for what the Democrats are talking about. No, but he's

194
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: too stupid to realize what he's doing. And then we

195
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: have fakes like Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins and Gillis

196
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 5: in North Carolina. We have all these fakes that are

197
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 5: Democrats pretending to be Republicans. We have to be aware

198
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: of that. And we've got to get this say effect

199
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 5: if it means getting rid of the philibuster. We have

200
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: to get rid of the filibuster. We have to have

201
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 5: fair elections. We have to know that people voting are

202
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 5: American citizens. We know now that fourteen million illegals voted

203
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty. That's how Joe Biden got eighty one

204
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 5: million votes and Barack Obama never got more than sixty

205
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 5: eight million, and Joe Biden's one of the most unpopular

206
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: figures of all time.

207
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll you'll never convince me that Joe Biden got

208
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: eighty one million legitimate votes that just simply didn't happen.

209
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 5: No, it didn't, And it's because illegals voted. We've talked

210
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 5: to him before. They're nineteen states that give you LEC

211
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 5: driver's license. In these nineteen states, that's all you need

212
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 5: to vote as a driver's license, and they called those

213
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 5: votes legal. So when they keep coming out and voter denial,

214
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 5: voter denial, you know, they're counting the illegal votes as legal,

215
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: you know. And Dan, you brought up several times the

216
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 5: court systems never adjunicated one situation on voting in any state.

217
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 5: Not one was adjunicated. You know, these all went untried,

218
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 5: and they want to act like and people believe that.

219
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 5: You know, Dan, when I saw last week the Princeton

220
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 5: High school kids protesting immigration policy, I was so mad.

221
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: I couldn't see straight. The administration should be held accountable

222
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 5: for this, these kids. Unfortunately, I taught in that system

223
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 5: for a while. Ninety percent of these kids don't even

224
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 5: know what immigration is.

225
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 7: Well, no, they don't know what immigration is. They don't

226
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 7: know what ICE is.

227
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: They don't know who they're supporting when they walk out

228
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: and talk about ICE. They have no idea what what

229
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: ICE is up to. Look, ICE is not is not

230
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: looking for people who who maybe overstate a visa and

231
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: are working and aren't are aren't committing any crimes. No,

232
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: they're looking for people. If if you overstayed your visa

233
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: and you're out there and and you know you're doing

234
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: some some small time burglaries, you're ripping people off, You're

235
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: you're defrauding the government system, you're getting all kinds of welfare,

236
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: you're getting health benefits, and you're getting all that fraudulently,

237
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: then yeah, they are looking for you. But if you're

238
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: out there and you're minding in your own business, now

239
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: you are way down on the list of the people

240
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: that they are looking for. And then these today's kids

241
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: have no concept to this. I saw an interview with

242
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: one of these high school kids and the and the

243
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: interviewer said, do you even know what ICE stands for?

244
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: And of course they didn't even know, so you've got, uh,

245
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: these school systems where you've got a majority of the

246
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: kids who can't do math, you got a majority of

247
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: the kids who can't read a grade level. You got

248
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: a majority of these kids who uh you know, who

249
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: knows with the dropout rate, who knows what the truancy

250
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: rate is? And the majority of these kids are not

251
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: going to go on to any higher education because they

252
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: simply are not ready for it. So so when you

253
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: have these school systems that look are is the administration

254
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: organizing these events or uh, you know, supporting these events?

255
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: No they are not, but they're allowing it to happen.

256
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: They're they're allowing it. So, so what's gonna happen? Ken

257
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: from Mason if these kids decide, you know what, we

258
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: kind of like there's some Trump policies that we like,

259
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: and we like the idea of I don't know, I mean,

260
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: you name a Trump policy that that the kids are

261
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna like, maybe maybe we like the maybe one we

262
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: want to march out in support of ice.

263
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 7: Do you think they're going to go for that?

264
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna just turn their head at

265
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: that and say, you know what, these kids have First

266
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: Amendment rights? And then they are free to go out

267
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: there and and support Ice all day long.

268
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 7: You think that's gonna fly.

269
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, Dan, I want you to let Princeton. Two

270
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 5: teachers organized this. Two teachers organized it. You know, and

271
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 5: you know Daniswell said you ninety five percent of those

272
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 5: kids did it just to get a class for a.

273
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 7: Couple of hours.

274
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 5: That's the only reason they did.

275
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: At walnut Hill, same thing at any other high school

276
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: where stuff like this has happened.

277
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 5: Dan and the Democrats to have no policies of any kind. None. People.

278
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 5: You need to understand. The only thing that Democrats are

279
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: going to do is tax you to death today. But

280
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 5: Dommy came out of New York City and said they're

281
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 5: going to have to raise property taxes. Is that because

282
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 5: he can't get the.

283
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: Microm doesn't want to play Kathy Hopell doesn't want to

284
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: play along, and now he's gonna have to. He's gonna

285
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: have to. He's gonna have to raise the property taxes,

286
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: not just on not just on the billionaires and the millionaires,

287
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: but all the regular people are going to feel the.

288
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 5: Past that people are talking about leaving New York City.

289
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 5: There is a follow up later today, thousands of people

290
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 5: are saying they're leaving. He's raising pact as they're getting

291
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: out there. People, you understand, that's how socialism works. That's

292
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: how it works. And the only thing they knew to

293
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 5: do is keep taxing you, taxing you and taxing you.

294
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 5: They don't know how to run anything. That's why if

295
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 5: you look at Venezuela and.

296
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: A collective working, now, how's it? How feeling now? And Venezuela,

297
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: as we all know, thanks to Occasio Cortes, is south

298
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: of the equator. I mean all these years, uh you know,

299
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was just a little bit north of

300
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: the equator. But okay, according to Acazio Cortez, I was

301
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: wrong about that.

302
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 7: Aren't you glad you because of her?

303
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 5: One of the democrats pillars of strength, AOC was a

304
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 5: bartender and quote unquote dancer. You know, you can make

305
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 5: what you want of that. She is an idiot. She

306
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 5: couldn't pass tenth grade Civics. She is a moron.

307
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 8: You know.

308
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: I'm sure there was somebody with a placard somewhere where

309
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 5: she could see that was telling her what the question

310
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 5: the answer to the question was, because she him and

311
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: hauled for a minute, had no idea what was going on.

312
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 5: I mean, she's a blank canvas and that's what these

313
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 5: people are. You know, Newsom in California is a jerk.

314
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 5: You know, he's owned by the cartel and Nancy Pelosi people.

315
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 5: Do you understand the Silenic Tinelogue Cartel owns most of

316
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 5: California to own what's going on there?

317
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: I know, Ken, we got to run. But I was

318
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: just looking at the statement from Mondani here and he

319
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: talked about he's going to have to raise taxes nearly

320
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: ten a ten percent increase on property taxes. You know,

321
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: he says, he says, oh, you know all, but he

322
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: doesn't want to raise the taxes on the ultra wealthy,

323
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: So now he's going to have to do it on

324
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: the backs of working people using the only tools at

325
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: the city's disposal. Well, why didn't he figure that out

326
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: before he before he got in there, because you know

327
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: it's good and all that tax the rich stuff. Everything's

328
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: going to be free. Uh, the grocery stores are going

329
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: to be great, Rent's going to be controlled. All that

330
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: mumbo jumbo. What a bunch of crap. And now he's

331
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: talking about a ten percent tax uh, taxing prease on

332
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: property taxes.

333
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 7: That's fantastic.

334
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 5: Newsom's got eight billionaires leaving California. I know if you

335
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 5: saw their roots on that today. Now y'all got billionaires leaving.

336
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and there and there's going to be more

337
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: and the and the and they you know, they want

338
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: to do that billionaire wealth tax and uh. You know

339
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: you had Occasio Cortes up there at the UH the

340
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: the event in UH in Munich talking about how, you know,

341
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: we need to do that across the country. Can we

342
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: got to run? I appreciate the call, as always, Ken

343
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: from Mason, Thank you very much. Nine twenty six Dan

348
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: we are one year and one month into the second

349
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: term of Donald Trump, and at this time, the positioning

350
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: is beginning for those who want to be considered presidential

351
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: candidates for the year twenty twenty eight. And you've got

352
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: people like the governor out in California, Gavin Newsom, You've

353
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: got J. D. Pritzker, You've got even a case of Cortes.

354
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: And then of course you've got the governor from Kentucky

355
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: who is at this time sending out every possible signal,

356
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: every indicator he can possibly send out that he wants

357
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: to be taken seriously as a candidate for the nomination

358
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: for President of the United States, and joining me now

359
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: is one of his biggest fans. One of the biggest

360
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: fans of Andy Basheer is my buddy Gary Jeff Walker

361
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: of Saturday Morning Fame and Nightcap Fame. Here on seven

362
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: hundred WLIW Gary Jeff. How you doing well, Dan?

363
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 9: As you mentioned, I am a proud Kentuckian. I've lived

364
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 9: here in the Bluegrass since two thousand, so it's been

365
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 9: a quarter century plus.

366
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 8: Let me just preface this by this statement.

367
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 9: In the last seventy plus years, there have been probably

368
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 9: four impactful books that have been written either by presidents

369
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 9: or presidential candidate all right. One was Mandate for Change

370
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 9: by Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was written post presidency about

371
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 9: his first three years or in office from fifty three

372
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 9: to fifty six. The other one is Profiles and Courage,

373
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 9: written by JFK in nineteen fifty seven. Ghost written by

374
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 9: Ted Sorenson about senators who defied their parties and sometimes

375
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 9: their constituencies to do what was right instead of what

376
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 9: was popular.

377
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 8: It's a great book.

378
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 9: It's recognized as a great presidential book again written by

379
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 9: JFK prior to his run. Dreams from My Father, whether

380
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 9: you like Barack Hussein Obama or not, had an impact.

381
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 9: It was written in twenty I'm trying to remember the

382
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 9: exact year that Obama's book came out. But in the

383
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 9: Art of the Deal written by Donald J. Trump, our

384
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 9: current president, and that was in nineteen eighty seven, long

385
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 9: before he ever went down the Golden Escalator. Yes, and

386
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 9: The Art of the Deal, I'd say, is very impactful

387
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 9: and very important as a book because it tells you

388
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 9: exactly who Donald Trump is, and he's proven it in

389
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 9: both of his terms in office. He is all about

390
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 9: making the deal. Now you mentioned Gavin Newsom has a

391
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 9: book called young Man on the Move. It looks it

392
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 9: looks almost like a comic book if you look at

393
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 9: the cover and the graphics on the book. God knows

394
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 9: what the grease ball has had a ghostwriter write for him. Yea,

395
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 9: And mind you, none of these books are written I

396
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 9: mean written by the people that bear their name.

397
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 8: Even Donald Trump's book was ghost written.

398
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 9: The JFK book was ghost written by Ted Sorenson. The

399
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 9: sheer book is called Go and Do Likewise, which I

400
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 9: guess has a recommendation to any possible presidential candidate to

401
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 9: be as milk, toast and lame as possible, and that

402
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 9: is the path to the presidency. Well, I.

403
00:23:54,800 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a story that was put up and

404
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Lexington and the subtitle is how We Heal a Broken Country?

405
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 8: And yes, that's the subtitle.

406
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they talk about this is a compelling and

407
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: insightful look that reclaims faith as a force for good

408
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: in public public life and rebukes those who use it

409
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: the harm and discriminate.

410
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 9: So the great thing about JFK's book, Profiles and Courage,

411
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 9: is that it wasn't about him necessarily. It was about

412
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 9: senators again who defied party and constituencies to do the

413
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 9: right thing. John Fetterman comes to mind immediately when you

414
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 9: look at the Democrats. But I've heard the Bisher book

415
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 9: is so complex in depth and so rooted in policy

416
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 9: that at thirty two or sixty four will not do.

417
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 9: You will need at least one hundred and twenty eight

418
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 9: count bots of crayons to color it. He made me

419
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 9: wish we had a real leader in this state, like

420
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 9: say Ron, Desantus and Frankfurt, especially during the scam. The

421
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 9: shutdowns and mandates have overreached during COVID that he tried

422
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 9: to impose will never be forgotten by me and I

423
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 9: hope a lot of other people who lived under them.

424
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 9: Thank god we have courts that adjudicate according to the constitution,

425
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 9: that put a halt to the illegal shutting down of

426
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 9: church services, the travel bans, ultimately the harm he did

427
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 9: to small businesses and classroom learning. This is still resonating

428
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 9: throughout the Commonwealth. Many still haven't recovered five years. Six

429
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 9: years later, the Emperor with no clothes and no experience

430
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 9: in real leadership, has been exposed as what I called

431
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 9: at the time, the boy dictator. He wasn't the only

432
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 9: governor who engaged in this behavior, mind you, and the

433
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 9: heat and the panic of COVID, the non scientific silliness,

434
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 9: But in that he displayed that he was another politician

435
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 9: who will let no crisis go to waste when it

436
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 9: comes to consolidating as much power as he could possibly

437
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 9: grab at the time. The only saving grace for Kentuckians

438
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 9: is we still have a super majority of Republicans in

439
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 9: the legislature to keep the boy.

440
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 8: In checks done. Has he done anything well in governing?

441
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 9: Well, every dog has his day, you know, and uh,

442
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 9: and his tenure has not been totally disastrous. But for

443
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 9: his actions during the scandemic alone, overall, for me, he

444
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 9: gets a D minus.

445
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 7: Well, it's interesting, somebody, it was what I'm just saying.

446
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you bring up Rond de Santis because

447
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: do you know where Rond de Santis was today earlier today?

448
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 8: No, I have no idea.

449
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis was in Kentucky today and he was

450
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: testifying before a committee and he was talking about a

451
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: balanced budget. But he took some questions from media and

452
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: one of those questions was sizing up Governor Bashir. So

453
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: let's hear what Ron de Santis had to say about

454
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Governor Brasher earlier today.

455
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 7: Joe Rollcuttnamber six. Yeah, I don't really know much about

456
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 7: you know, the governor.

457
00:26:59,400 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 10: Here.

458
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 11: I saw someone had showed me those comments because I

459
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 11: was coming here. All I can say is, you know

460
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 11: a guy that sends state police to try to block

461
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 11: people from worshiping on Easter Sunday. A guy that's obsessed

462
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 11: with gender mutilation of minors. If that's the person that's

463
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 11: criticizing me, I wear that as a badge of honor.

464
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: So there, right, there's Ron DeSantis' take on Andy Basher. Uh,

465
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: pretty concise, right, solid.

466
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 9: I think the danger is he has not turned the

467
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 9: state of Kentucky into the dumpster fire that Gavin Newsom has.

468
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 9: He may be just without without enough obvious flaws to

469
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 9: the nation to be a viable candidate, and that scares

470
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 9: the heck out of me. Dan, Like I said, he

471
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 9: gets an overall D minus, and that's odd for somebody

472
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 9: who owes his entire existence in office to teachers unions,

473
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 9: which we all know care nothing about education, just power

474
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 9: and control, particularly the Comonwell's rural counties. He's mostly an

475
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 9: empty suit who feigns compassion and certainly is not prepared

476
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 9: to lead the country. He's young, he's decent looking, and

477
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 9: he has a Democrat lineage. His dad was governor. Now

478
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 9: he's written and quotes a book, and none of these

479
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 9: guys actually write the books.

480
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 8: But he's written a book. Make sure you get a copy.

481
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 9: When you get a copy to make sure you color

482
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 9: inside the lines.

483
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the thing is, he's trying to stake

484
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: out the moral high ground by claiming he's a man

485
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: of faith, and he talks about how his faith drives

486
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: him in all these decisions. And I don't know if

487
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you caught his appearance on the View last week, and

488
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: he was talking about his faith on the View as

489
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: it relates to young kids having sex change surgery. And

490
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: so here's how we laid that out for the gals

491
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: on the View. Let's hear cut number right there, Jim.

492
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 7: But we rarely talk about the why.

493
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 12: People want to know what drives us, especially in a

494
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 12: world with social media where everyone's looking for the next

495
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 12: authentic thing.

496
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 7: For me, that's my faith.

497
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 12: Most of the decisions I make are based on that

498
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 12: Golden rule that says we love our neighbor as ourselves,

499
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 12: and that parable the good Samaritan that says.

500
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 7: Everyone is our neighbor.

501
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 12: And so when I've taken actions like vetoing the nastiest

502
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 12: piece of anti LGBTQ legislation that ever came through my state,

503
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 12: I described in those terms. I said, my faith teaches

504
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 12: me that all children are children of God and I

505
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 12: didn't want people picking on those kids.

506
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, so there you go.

507
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, Dan, Dan, Okay.

508
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 9: If he's truly a man of Christian faith, then he

509
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 9: understands that God makes all those children of God not

510
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 9: only in his image, but he knows them when they're

511
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 9: in the womb and when they are born with xx

512
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 9: or x y that's the way God intended. So if

513
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 9: you're clinging your faith as the reason you're gonna veto

514
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 9: what he calls anti LGBT legislation in the state, then

515
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 9: he's denying God's will because if you're born a boy,

516
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 9: if you're born a girl, if you're born male, or

517
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 9: you're born female, that's the way God intended you. So

518
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 9: apparently he doesn't have much faith in God. If he's

519
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 9: allowing people to change God's intent for their lives, well.

520
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: That's what I find particularly reprehensible about him hiding behind

521
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: faith to justify these decisions that these kids will go over,

522
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, that will be subjected to this barbaric butchery.

523
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: Molly Hemingway had a great response to this when when

524
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: she heard this sound bite, and she wrote, cutting off

525
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: the healthy body parts of children so they will be

526
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: sexually mutilated in sterile for life is a curious way

527
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: to quote love others. What faith are you talking about,

528
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: she asked, and then she writes with a question mark, Satanism.

529
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 1: So I thought that was a pretty I thought that

530
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: was a pretty good reply to that, to that sound bite.

531
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 9: We just if he believes that that that's the case,

532
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 9: then absolutely it's it's not faith in God all night

533
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 9: of the Creator.

534
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 8: It's it's faith in Satanic.

535
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 9: Cultish belief systems. There's no other excuse for it, there's

536
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 9: no other reason for it. That Satanic is the reason

537
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 9: that we went through this whole transgender transition as a society,

538
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 9: this fad that endorses and coddles mental illness. It's not

539
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 9: about science, it's not about God. It's about what's right

540
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 9: and what's wrong. And on that subject, along with many

541
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 9: many more. Andy Basheer, the current governor of Kentucky and

542
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 9: now prospective presidential candidate, to me, just sounds like another

543
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 9: godless hack who is pushing Satanic values well for human value.

544
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: To my way of thinking, If if he doesn't have

545
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: the wherewithal to recognize that the simple truth of the

546
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: matter is that no matter how much surgery you have

547
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: no matter how many drugs you take, no matter how

548
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: many therapies, no matter no matter what how much makeup

549
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: or facial surgery that you undergo, you cannot change your

550
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: sex from a male to a female, or a female

551
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: to a male. And denying that simple basic reality, to

552
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: my way of thinking, is disqualifying. And then to hide

553
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: behind the shield of faith to say, this is what

554
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: drives you to think this way?

555
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 7: Uh, it's what? What's that? What's the old?

556
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: And they're an old saying about the church? Is the

557
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: is the the final refuge of the scoundrel. I mean,

558
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: that's what I think about when I hear him trying

559
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: to claim this moral high ground as though it's his

560
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: faith that drives him to all these decisions.

561
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 9: The Bible tells us Dan to beware of false prophets,

562
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 9: and there were seemingly.

563
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 8: A whole lot of them in the Democrat party.

564
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Well, there's no shortage. I saw a so called pastor

565
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: doing a sermon last weekend, and she was talking about

566
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: the abortion issue, and she was talking about how she

567
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: felt the presence of God when she bore a couple

568
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: of children herself, and then she also was in the

569
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: embrace of the Almighty when she decided to have a

570
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: couple of abortions as well. So she's again twisting scripture

571
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: to fit her own twisted view on things.

572
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 9: If you ask, well, apparently she's ignoring some very important

573
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 9: passages in the Good Book about the samety of life.

574
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 9: I knew you before you were in the womb, God

575
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 9: said you're a person. At the moment, before the moment

576
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 9: of conception, you were a person.

577
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 8: You were known to God.

578
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 9: So anyone who embraces and feels that Godly presence when

579
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 9: they're ending a human life is a liar, and the

580
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 9: devil is a liar.

581
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: Dad, absolutely, and Gary, Jeff, I don't know about you,

582
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: but I mean Andy Basheer has not announced yet, but

583
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: it certainly looks like he is. He is going to

584
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: go that way and from behind this microphone, I'm going

585
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: to do everything I can to make sure that no

586
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: one votes for him.

587
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 8: Well, I'm on your side.

588
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 7: I'm out in my position right there.

589
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I mean, there's no way, there's no

590
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: way that, there is no way that this guy is anywhere,

591
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: has any business being anywhere close to the Oval office

592
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: of the White House.

593
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 7: I'll give you the final.

594
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 9: Work well, I can't do anything but agree with you wholeheartedly.

595
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 9: And it's not about partisan preferences. It's not about Democrat Republican.

596
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 9: It's not about MEGA or anti MAGA. It's about what's

597
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 9: right and wrong. And Andy, listen, Andy Basheer is in

598
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 9: opposition to the Save Act, and he's governor of a

599
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 9: state that for years has made you prove with a

600
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 9: photo ID who you are before you can vote.

601
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 8: Sure, I mean that tells you everything you need to know.

602
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: At one point, you needed proper identification during the Wuhan.

603
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: You needed proper identification to be traveling around the Commonwealth

604
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: of Kentucky.

605
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, so there was that.

606
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 9: My wife and I ignored that edict and we traveled

607
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 9: all the time during the supposed shutdowns. And he did

608
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 9: so proudly and patriotic.

609
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife had to travel back and forth to

610
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: Kentucky and and she had to make sure that her

611
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: paperwork was it was in order before she dared to

612
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: cross the border. So it was the fun times for all. Gary, Jeff,

613
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: we got to run, but thank you for the time tonight, brother,

614
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: and we'll catch you. We'll catch you on Saturday, and uh,

615
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: we'll catch you on the night Cap next week.

616
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 8: All right, Dan, thanks well?

617
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: All right, Gary Jeff Walker, big fan of government of

618
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: this year. Nine fifty six, seven hundred WLW.

619
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 8: It is the.

623
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: a hearing in Columbus yesterday on a piece of legislation

624
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: that was brought forth by Adam Bird of New Richmond

625
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: and Mike Odosio of Green Township. All right, maybe it's Odio,

626
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: so I mean I might be mispronouncing, but anyway, this

627
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: is a bill that would ban the idea of name,

628
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: image and likeness for high school kids. So there was

629
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: a hearing on this, and first of all, let's let's

630
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: say hello to my buddy Adam Bird. And Adam Bird,

631
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: how are you today.

632
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 13: I'm having a midweek crisis.

633
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: The name of your show, it is the name of

634
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: this show, Midweek Crisis. Well, I'm glad, I'm glad we

635
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: can have our MIDWEK crisis together. And I'm always glad

636
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: to have you here and give me your an overall

637
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: little thumbnail sketch of how the hearing went yesterday or

638
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: was or was it earlier today?

639
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 13: It was yesterday committee. And you know, I've had people

640
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 13: from all over the state and in education tell me

641
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 13: that they dislike the direction that OHSAA is going with

642
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 13: this new policy. I'm talking about superintendents, athletic directors, coaches.

643
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 13: No one likes it. Everybody believes that it will be

644
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 13: bad for education. It will be bad for what we

645
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 13: do here in Ohio. And man, I've got to command

646
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 13: Kurt Steve Speck, head coach at say next because he

647
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 13: was the only coach in Ohio that was willing to

648
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 13: come and put his name and reputation on the line

649
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 13: and come and do this. And I've got hand it

650
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 13: to Mason Superintendent Jonathan Cooper, only superintendent in the entire

651
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 13: state willing to come and put name and reputation on

652
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 13: the line by appearing in person before the committee to

653
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 13: speak against this policy that has been pushed upon member

654
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 13: schools by OHSAA.

655
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: That that surprises me a little bit. I mean, is

656
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: this issue that toxic that you've got in me? Did

657
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: you invite more than just the superintendent of Mason and

658
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: Coach Speck.

659
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 13: Absolutely absolutely now I did. I was able to get

660
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 13: a coach from Fort Myers, Florida basketball coach to write

661
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 13: to the committee in regards to how bad NIL and

662
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 13: Florida has been. There was a superintendent at a private

663
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 13: school in Cleveland that was willing to write a letter.

664
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 8: Uh.

665
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 13: But these two men were the ones who were willing

666
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 13: to come in person, stand up to the question, stand

667
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 13: up to the scrutiny, and I'm very grateful for their boldness.

668
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: Well, I thought SPEC's testimony was very compelling and very interesting,

669
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: and he said he wanted to make it clear that

670
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: he's not against the idea of kids being able to

671
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: earn money on their name, image, and likeness. His main

672
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: problem with the thing is is he said, you know,

673
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: he said, he said, repeated many times, where are the guardrails?

674
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: And then he talked about what I thought was interesting.

675
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: He said, Look, the only model that we really have

676
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: to look at on this is what's happening in the NCAA.

677
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: And if I think, with every ounce of energy he has,

678
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: he wants to prevent something like what's going on in

679
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: the NCAA right now, getting down to the high school

680
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: level and maybe even down to the grade school level.

681
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, what do you call dan, what do you

682
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 13: call someone who gets paid for their athletic participation?

683
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 7: Well, they're a pro. Yeah.

684
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 13: So that's where, uh, that's where we're headed at the

685
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 13: college level. I'm sure you know about the case of

686
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 13: the University of Cincinnati quarterback who has left Cincinnati, not

687
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 13: for a better program, not for a better major, not

688
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 13: for a better educational experience. He leper Texas Tech because

689
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 13: they were going to pay him five and a half

690
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 13: million dollars and an nil deal, which, oh, by the way,

691
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 13: is more than Shaudor Sanders will make in his entire

692
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 13: five year contract to the Cleveland Browns.

693
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: Well, I've heard, I've heard multiple college coaches referred to

694
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: these kids as pros now because they're getting paid. I

695
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: want to play A cut from Steve Speck and a

696
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: question he was asked, which I thought was a very

697
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: good question from one of the members on the on

698
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: the committee there and Joe, let's hear cut number one.

699
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 14: Please, is there a temptation to play kids just because

700
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 14: they have an NIL deal?

701
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 7: I think there is.

702
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 14: I speaking for myself, you're correct, I would not do that.

703
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 14: It's earned and deserved, and that's one of the things

704
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 14: we're trying to teach kids is earned and deserved. The

705
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 14: young man comes into a program and he's getting paid

706
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 14: X amount. Who's paying the money again, is a question

707
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 14: I would have, and it m I beholding to them.

708
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 14: I might be holding beholden to the mission of the school,

709
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 14: or a might be holding to the benefactors that are

710
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 14: supporting these players. I don't even want to think about that.

711
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 14: So we're talking about kids that are trying to figure

712
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 14: out who's who who, who they're going to take to

713
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 14: the next next days, how they're going to struggle through

714
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 14: their biology test. You know, where am I going to

715
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,479
Speaker 14: go to college? I'm not. I mean, we're talking about

716
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 14: a very small percentage they're going to get paid. But

717
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 14: I think you just create again the world of the

718
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 14: unknown that it's somewhat known because.

719
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 7: Of the NC double A.

720
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's a problem. I think that these collectives,

721
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 14: these agents are going to be shopping kids.

722
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 7: That's what we've seen.

723
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 14: I don't think this leads to any road that's going

724
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 14: to be positive for the development of young people.

725
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 7: And so uh State Rep. Adam Bird.

726
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that last part of what

727
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: he said right there, that this is a road that

728
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: doesn't lead to anything positive for these young people. If

729
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: I'm not miss And I think I might have heard

730
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: you say something very much along the same lines, and

731
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: we talked about this.

732
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 7: Previously, Sure, Dan, I kid you not.

733
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 13: I had a conversation earlier today with a licensed sports

734
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 13: agent in the state of Ohio, and he tells me

735
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 13: that they are already already predators out there that are

736
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 13: unlicensed dot are inking high school kids to deals that

737
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 13: blindly give this unlicensed sports agent twenty percent of whatever

738
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 13: nil deal they can get. This kicks, no deal has

739
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 13: been made. They're working. They're not working for the kids,

740
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 13: they're working for them. They're predators. They're predators twenty percent.

741
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 13: Are you serious? And these guys there, we have child

742
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 13: labor laws in place in Ohio for a reason, and

743
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 13: we're totally flushing that down the toilet with what we're

744
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 13: put on kids right now.

745
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, how can this be if we, by law,

746
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: we don't let and we don't recognize people under the

747
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: age of eighteen engaging in legally binding contracts? So how

748
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: can how can that? Yeah, how can how can this

749
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: be different than engaging in a contract for any other purpose?

750
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 13: So as a committee, we're going to be exploring that legal,

751
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 13: legally binding issue about a minor signing a contract they

752
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 13: cannot do it without their parents and got it? You know, Dan,

753
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 13: that there are going to be parents out there that

754
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 13: are going to siphon money away from that child and say,

755
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 13: you know, I bought you lessons, I took you to practice.

756
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 13: Our family needs this money. All of this this is

757
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 13: going I I'm so befuddled, Dan by how bad this

758
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 13: is going to play out for Ohio. And we've got

759
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 13: to protect our children from predatory behavior of agents, tax

760
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 13: advisors and and and perhaps in some cases parents, parents

761
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 13: aren't always making great decisions.

762
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 5: Uh.

763
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: Well, as I was watching the video of the committee hearing,

764
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: one of the members on the committee was talking about

765
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: other states that have nil nil deals for high school kids.

766
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: And he was making the point that, look, these other

767
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: states that they're doing the n ideal kids for you know,

768
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: the n ideal n I nil deals for high school kids.

769
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: And he was essentially saying that they really haven't had

770
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: any any issues with.

771
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 7: Any of that.

772
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 13: Right. I don't believe that, Dan, And let's let's talk

773
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 13: about that for a minute. The whole issue of well,

774
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 13: all these other states are going until Ohio should do

775
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 13: it too. Boy, we've heard that excuse for why we

776
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 13: should do bad behaviors since we were five years old.

777
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 13: But anyway, you know the states that are doing that,

778
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 13: thirty five of the states that permit Innio are doing

779
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 13: it because their state legislature has sat on their hands

780
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 13: and decided they're not going to get involved. They're going

781
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 13: to let their athletic governing body make this decision. Okay,

782
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 13: the state. The vast number of state legislatures that have

783
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 13: got involved in this, they are actually prohibiting or placing

784
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 13: limits on nil deals. So we need to step in

785
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 13: and protect.

786
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 7: What about the issue of competition?

787
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: Does this sort of take the issue of fairness out

788
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: of competition? Out of competition where you're going to have

789
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: school districts, I mean, look, it's a fact of life.

790
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: There are some school districts that have access to more

791
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: money than other school districts because of their zip codes

792
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: and where people live. I mean, that's I don't think

793
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: that's a reflection on the value of the education that

794
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: these kids get. But when it comes to athletics, I

795
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: mean it's a look at some school districts have more money,

796
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: and Coach spec made the point that that it's a

797
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: lot easier for private schools to go out and you know,

798
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: maybe generate a lot more money that they can funnel

799
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: towards these kids than public schools can.

800
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 13: Their rich get richer. And one of the most wealthy

801
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 13: Ohioans is the A. K. Ramaswami and oh, by the way,

802
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 13: he is a graduate of Saint Davior High School. Now,

803
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 13: if there are other billionaires that are also graduates of

804
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 13: Saint Dagor High School and they have a business, they

805
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 13: can go and ink kids to a deal and say,

806
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 13: you know, I'm going to give you this money, but

807
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 13: only on the condition that you attend the school of

808
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 13: my choice, and you're going to go to my alma

809
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 13: mater and you're going to do it for him my school.

810
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 13: And that could be happening all over Ohio. It's it's it,

811
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 13: you know. And so this is different than college, where

812
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 13: you know, the college athletic director fundraises from local businesses,

813
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 13: wealthy alumni and puts all of that money into a collective.

814
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 13: And I think I saw where Ohio State Football's budget

815
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 13: for their football team was somewhere around twenty five million

816
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 13: dollars that they spend. That's not the way it's going

817
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 13: to work in high school the way it's currently drawn up. Instead,

818
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 13: the principal, the athletic director of the coach will have

819
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 13: nothing to do with this, and and and they are

820
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 13: they're not going to do The kids are able to

821
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 13: sign deals on their own, so that it's going to

822
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 13: be out of the reach of coach, the athletic director,

823
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 13: and and unscrupulous people can go out there and do

824
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 13: whatever they want with a student in Ohio. And I

825
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 13: just think it's it's.

826
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: Bad the nil policy that is in place right now

827
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: in Ohio. Did oh should do that on their own

828
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: or was there any input from state lawmakers on this

829
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: at all?

830
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 13: No input. This was done. First of all, they cannot

831
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 13: make a change like this without a vote of their

832
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 13: member school So they went to their member schools and said,

833
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 13: please vote for this, Please vote for this, because there's

834
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 13: this one judge in Franklin County, Okay, a very liberal

835
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 13: blue judge that issued a temporary injunction on the issue

836
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 13: of a lawsuit that a mother in Dayton had brought

837
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 13: against OHSAA. And SOHSAA went to its member schools. It

838
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 13: said please vote for this. Change so that we can

839
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 13: avoid a lawsuit. Well, about fifty five percent of the

840
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 13: school said yes, about forty five percent of the school

841
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 13: said no or they have stained And I have it

842
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 13: on good authority Dan, that many of the schools had

843
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 13: voted yet did not want to. They held their nose.

844
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 13: And the reason that they did that is because school

845
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 13: districts and OHSAA don't have a lot of money to

846
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 13: spend on frivolous lawsuits and to defend themselves. So if

847
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 13: the state legislature gets involved and if we pass a

848
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 13: bill that says you can't do this, and then somebody

849
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 13: brings a lawsuit, guess what the attorney General's off it

850
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 13: and successfully defend this. They have deeper pockets. This is

851
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 13: the exact same reason Dan. If you recall that we

852
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 13: talked about the restroom bill, because school districts cannot defend lawsuits,

853
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 13: they don't have the money for that. But when we

854
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 13: pass a bill at the state of Ohio says that

855
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 13: girls have to go to the girls restroom and boys

856
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 13: to the boys restroom, the attorney general is going to

857
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 13: be able to defend that, and they have much deeper

858
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 13: pockets to do that.

859
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your sense on what's going to happen. You've

860
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: had the committee hearing. Now what's the next step on this?

861
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 8: Well, the next.

862
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 13: Step is next Tuesday, we'll have another hearing on it.

863
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 13: We'll have the opportunity for opponents of the bill to

864
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 13: come in and testify the committee. Although I've gotten permission

865
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 13: from the chair to have a couple more proponents that

866
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 13: didn't get to come yesterday, So we'll have pros and

867
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 13: cons next week and uh, and then House Republicans will

868
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 13: caucus and meet about it, talk about it. I do

869
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 13: believe that the Speaker of the House and the Center

870
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 13: President or sympathetic. I've already been talking to the governor's

871
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 13: staff about this, and you know Governor de Wine often

872
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 13: talks about wanting to protect children, and I do think

873
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 13: that he will be sympathetic to this bill and see

874
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 13: it hopefully in a way that that I do, where

875
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 13: we want to protect kids from predatory Uh land I'm sorry, Uh,

876
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 13: legal agents and sports agents, all.

877
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 8: Those kind of people.

878
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but as we speak, deals are being cut right now.

879
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: Right if right this legislation passes, is it going to

880
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: undo all those or what what happens to those deals

881
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: that that are going to be employee between now now

882
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: and and you know, if the time for this bill

883
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: ever come.

884
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 13: If I can get this bill done in the next

885
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 13: three or four months, if we can get it on

886
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 13: by June, because you know, Dan that we take off

887
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 13: July in August. If I can get it done by June,

888
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 13: which means that ninety days later, it will be in

889
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 13: place by the time next school year starts, then I

890
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 13: would I would argue, and I'm not a lawyer, and

891
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 13: perhaps I need to tweak the language of this bill

892
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 13: that it would take effect immediately and it would erase

893
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 13: any deal already made.

894
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 8: But you're not going to.

895
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 13: Oh my god, well, you know, and so that something

896
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 13: you and I talk about a lot of partisan issues,

897
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 13: and obviously you and I are very conservative politically, and

898
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 13: this is not a red meat issue for the Republican Party.

899
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 13: And I will have Democrats that like my bill. I'm

900
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 13: going to have Republicans who dislike this bill. And and

901
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 13: so you know, I I doing this, uh, because I

902
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 13: believe that it is right past for Ohio to be

903
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 13: on in order to protect are the you know, our

904
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 13: kids that are in school. I believe that that sports

905
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 13: are an extension of the classroom and that we should

906
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 13: be teaching discipline and character and leadership and communication and

907
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 13: work ethic and all of these things, uh, and not

908
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 13: an earning potential for for certain students that have.

909
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, you know, bigger picture, I just

910
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: really think it's a shame that the NCAA let this

911
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 1: let this situation get so out of control with the transfer.

912
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 7: Portal and the way the NIL is going now and the.

913
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: Kind of money we're talking about, and you got some

914
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: kids that you know, you got some kids out there

915
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: that are you know, saying hey, I'll show up at

916
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: your at your car wash for a half an hour

917
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: for fifteen bucks, you know, I mean, and then you

918
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: got other ones that are pulling down millions. It's I mean,

919
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it was that. You know, I talked

920
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: to Grant House, another great sainte X kid, and it

921
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: was you know, it was his lawsuit that gave rise

922
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: to all this. And then you know, this is not

923
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: what he envisioned this being. He said, look, he was

924
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: doing a podcast with his brother and that you know,

925
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: had some people who said, hey, you know, we'll be

926
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: happy to sponsor your podcast, but he couldn't do it

927
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: because you know under the NCAA rules, couldn't couldn't earn

928
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: any money off of that. So we just thought, look,

929
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, I should be able if I'm doing this podcast,

930
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: I should be able to earn a little money. And

931
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: uh it's it's kind of brought us to where we

932
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: are now. So Adam Bird, we got a run. But

933
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: as always, Man, I appreciate the time, keep up the

934
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: great work. And uh, well, I'm sure we'll be talking

935
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: again before too long.

936
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 13: Uh Dan, I enjoy our conversations. There's plenty of good

937
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 13: stuff working on besides this bill, and uh, I'm willing

938
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 13: to come and and uh, you know, share share time

939
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 13: with you if you're willing to give it to me,

940
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 13: because we're doing a lot of good stuff for the

941
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 13: state of Ohio. And I think the voters are going

942
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 13: to recognize that come November and and uh, you know,

943
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 13: I think we're going to keep the US House. I

944
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 13: think we're going to keep the Ohio House. And I think,

945
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 13: uh we have and we're going to continue to demonstrate

946
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 13: to the voters that we care about them and protecting

947
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 13: protecting our economy. And I just I've got I've got

948
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 13: good hopes for the election.

949
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: Coming oh yeah, but we're going to be talking a

950
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: lot with the midterms coming up. Adam Bird, keep up

951
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: the great word, brother. We'll talk to you soon.

952
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 8: Thank you.

953

Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Adam Bird, State Rep. From

Speaker 1: Clarmont County, Brown County, Little Adams County.

955
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 7: I think we gotta go. We got to get to

956
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 7: the news.

957
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit late for a break here on

958
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 1: seven hundred W LWHI back on the big one, seven

959
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: hundred W LW ten forty one, Dan Carroll till midnight today.

960
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: No more guests between now and midnight. So Joe Waddell,

961
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: let's open the phone lines five, one, three, seven, nine

962
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: seven thou what eight hundred if you want to get

963
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: on board?

964
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 7: What is going on? What is going on in New

965
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 7: York City?

966
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: The mayor Zorhanman Donnie has proposed that massive property tax

967
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: like he's got a big budget, one hundred twenty seven

968
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Kathy Hochel has poned up one point five

969
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: billion dollars in taxpayer cash to help bail out New

970
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: York City. I don't think it's going to be enough, though.

971
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: The New York Post writes that he is softened on

972
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: the freeze the rent and val After the tax threats,

973
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: the mayor signaled earlier today that another one of his

974
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: key campaign promises could fall by the way, sign as

975
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: he continues to threaten tax increases to stand up his

976
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: massive one hundred and twenty seven billion dollar budget. When

977
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: pressed on his slate of new ret guideline boards, Madamie

978
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: told reporters that the board was simply independent. He said,

979
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: they'll consider all the eminence and we're working to lower

980
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: costs for property owners across the city. At the same time,

981
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: of course, he said, they're going to have to have

982
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: a tax increase of nine point five percent, almost ten percent.

983
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 1: There was also a plan in the works. Eric Adams,

984
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: the outgoing mayor, wanted to have a hiring spree of

985
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: more New York City cops. That plan has effectively been

986
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: killed now. Eric Adams tried to force the Mayor's hand

987
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: last year by boosting the rank of the department by

988
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: more than five thousand officers, and in the outgoing budget estimate,

989
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: if followed through, the New York Police Department would have

990
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: surged the forty thousand, the highest level in more than

991
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: twenty years. Mandani, been a mayor candidate, was quick to

992
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: shoot down the idea, telling reporters the New York Police

993
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: Department would not get more than thirty five thousand officers

994
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: in his future budgets. He said that, Yeah, he pretty

995
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: much came out today said that another five thousand officers

996
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: is not going to happen. So Mandani has found out that,

997
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, promising things is one thing, and then coming

998
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: through on things is is quite another. The great Scott

999
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: Powell has written another piece talking about the Save Act

1000
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: and we have talked about that a lot on this show.

1001
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: And Scott Powell writes, rarely or is there a political

1002
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: issue like the Save Act in America, which is extremely

1003
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: popular with the American people but lacks support in the

1004
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: Upper House of Congress. The Save America Act I voted

1005
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: into law, would put an end to most vote fraud

1006
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: and election irregularities in America. About eighty percent of voters

1007
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: support the bill, yet it has less than fifty percent

1008
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: of support from US Senators. It's obvious why there is

1009
00:58:55,120 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: overwhelming support from the people for this legislation. Election intekety

1010
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: is in the DNA of America. The legitimacy and moral

1011
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,439
Speaker 1: authority of the country comes only from the people who

1012
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: express their preference for local, state, and national government officials

1013
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: through free and fair elections. When there is vote fraud

1014
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: and election irregularities, the moral authority of government is compromised,

1015
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: causing the people to disrespect and distrust their own government.

1016
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: The moral authority in the United States is also critical

1017
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: in maintaining regional and world order and peace. The most

1018
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: crucial factor in prevailing against corrupt regimes and dictatorial foreign

1019
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: governments is often the moral authority of the United States.

1020
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 1: When the US loses its moral authority, as it did

1021
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: during the Biden administration, the deterrent power of the United

1022
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: States is compromised and foreign adversaries are in bold. And

1023
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: did we not see that during the course of the

1024
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Biden administration. I think we saw it all over the world.

1025
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Key provisions to this bill required that all registering to

1026
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: vote would present documentary proof of citizen citizenships, such as

1027
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: a national photo ID paired with a certificate of birth,

1028
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: that ongoing voter role maintenance would include purges on ineligible names,

1029
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: that there would be restrictions on mail in and on

1030
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: online voter registration, and that private citizens would be empowered

1031
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: to sue election officials for failing to uphold election law.

1032
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: The bill was introduced by chip Roy, passed in the

1033
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: House in January. That's such a bill with overwhelming support

1034
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: by the people, as opposed by so money in the

1035
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Senate provides an enormous opportunity to end the unconstitutional Senate

1036
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: rule of the filibuster and to bring in stronger leaders

1037
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: in the upper chamber by primarily and defeeding weak and

1038
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: compromise senators who equivocate on election integrity. So he goes

1039
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: on to talk about the unconstitutional nature of the filibuster,

1040
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: talking about that was first use in eighteen thirty seven,

1041
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: became more common by the eighteen forties to have struckt

1042
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: legislation notably but then notably by Southern senators defending slavery.

1043
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean we need this. And he makes

1044
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: the point that I have made over and over again,

1045
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: and he says, does anyone think for a moment that

1046
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats would not end the filibuster if they take

1047
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: control of the Senate in twenty twenty six, of course

1048
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: they will. So preemptive action to end the filibuster now

1049
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: is needed. Real leadership is the wing. What is necessary

1050
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: to save the country from enemies, both foreign and domestic.

1051
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: One of the most important priorities right now is delivering

1052
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: on the unfinished initiative and fixing the integrity of our

1053
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: national elections by mandating voter IDs, one day vote casting

1054
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: and counting, and replacing voting machines with paper ballots. It

1055
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: seems to me that the answer to finally get this

1056
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: squared away is what we did. I mean, we know

1057
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: how to do it. We've doneut before. And I was

1058
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: talking to Chris Smithman on Monday and he is just

1059
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: besides himself that this notion that somehow people in the

1060
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: black community don't have the wherewithal to get the proper documentation,

1061
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: don't have the wherewithal to get a driver's license, or

1062
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: get a passport, or use the internet or go to

1063
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: the DMV. And you want to talk about racism to

1064
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: suggest that an entire segment of the population, and this

1065
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: includes women too. They like to talk about women who

1066
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: get married. Oh, well, you know they they might have

1067
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: some problems there, not getting the not getting the old

1068
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: birth certificate lined up with with your with your name change,

1069
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: as if the vast majority of women are incapable of

1070
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: doing such things. Yeah, but we never, never, once do

1071
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: we hear the same concern when it comes to the

1072
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: comple flexity of filling out your tax returns. We never

1073
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: see any concern about. I mean, they keep making tax

1074
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: law is complicated and as confiscatory as possible, and there

1075
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: are plenty of harsh penalties if you get it wrong,

1076
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: and the government knows, the government knows that the government

1077
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: knows how much tax.

1078
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 7: You're supposed to pay.

1079
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: And then you've got to do all the paperwork, or

1080
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: maybe you pay someone to do it for you. And

1081
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: then what do you do. You sweat it every year.

1082
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: You sweat and you hope that you don't get one

1083
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: of those notices in the mailbox.

1084
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 7: From the IRS. I know what it is.

1085
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: I've seen those envelopes in my mailbox before. I know.

1086
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I know that feeling of going to the mailbox and

1087
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: you look in there and there's that envelope from the

1088
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: I R S.

1089
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 6: It is.

1090
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: It is not a good feeling at all. Yet it

1091
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: seems tax returns get more complicated and more complex all

1092
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: the time. I think Trump's trying to make it a

1093
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: little bit easier, But all these Democrat loud mouse who

1094
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: want them trying to make this point that it's just

1095
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: too much of a burden to have the have the

1096
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: proper documents, to jump through the hoops. Whatever it is

1097
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you need to do, there should be a little bit.

1098
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 7: I mean, look, voting is a privilege. It should take.

1099
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: Not a ton of effort, but some effort on your part,

1100
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: otherwise it would be completely meaningless. Let's go to Mark

1101
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: in Monroe, Mark seven hundred WLW than Raphael is on

1102
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: the line.

1103
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 7: Mark, how you doing.

1104
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 15: I'm doing fine.

1105
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 8: How are you I'm good?

1106
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 7: Mark appreciates you picking up the fun.

1107
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 15: Okay, I got a question. This has to do in Minnesota.

1108
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 15: I refer to it as the Camp on tim Wall

1109
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 15: Street scandal. I wonder what the update is on it

1110
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 15: whole Somalia funding thing to El Shabab, especially now that

1111
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 15: the Ice situation has somewhat been put on the back burner.

1112
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Well, you know, that's a good question. I would like

1113
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: to think that some more resources can be devoted into

1114
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: unraveling all the fraud that has gone on in the

1115
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: in the Minneapolis area and the community there. But I'll

1116
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: tell you what, I've not seen a lot of reporting

1117
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: on it. I don't know that any of those efforts

1118
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: have been stepped up. Saw a piece a very short

1119
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: piece written a day or so ago, and the question

1120
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: the headline was what happened to the investigation into the

1121
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: fraud in Minneapolis? And the writer of the piece was

1122
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: essentially saying, look, it looks like all this has gone

1123
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: down the what do they call it, the memory hole

1124
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of this, you know, they want you

1125
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: to sort of forget that all this kind of stuff

1126
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: was going on. I don't want to forget about it

1127
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: if there And look, I know there have already been

1128
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: prosecutions for some of this other fraud that have gone on,

1129
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: but as far as some of the big money that

1130
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: was being taken out, I think there's still a lot

1131
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: more prosecutions to go. So maybe they're in the works. Look,

1132
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when from a reporting standpoint, trying to follow

1133
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: all the ins and outs of court proceedings and investigative

1134
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: updates and all the rest of that, it's not the

1135
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: same siest thing out there. So maybe there's a you know,

1136
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: hopefully there's some reporters who are keeping track of all

1137
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: this stuff that's going on, and maybe there's going to

1138
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: be I think there should be some very big bombshells

1139
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,479
Speaker 1: coming out, but it's you know, at the same time,

1140
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: we need to find out more about the alleged fraud

1141
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,839
Speaker 1: that happened in California, the alleged fraud that's been happening

1142
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: here in Ohio and other states across the country.

1143
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 7: So I don't want to I don't want to see

1144
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 7: this stuff disappear.

1145
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 15: Yeah, let me ask you this, Dan, what's your opinion

1146
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 15: on how much attention or uh mainstream media will will

1147
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 15: put put into what I call the art diversion. I

1148
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 15: don't want to make light of like Nancy Guthrie's situation,

1149
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 15: but I mean, it seems to me that that has

1150
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 15: been overplayed to the extreme, and I think that's just

1151
01:08:54,479 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 15: a gimmick or a device to overshadow all kinds of

1152
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 15: other what should be brought to the forefront issues out there,

1153
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 15: that it takes the attention away from it.

1154
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 8: Well deliver and.

1155
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Mark, I appreciate the question. I got a round because

1156
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: I'm late for a break here. That's my fault, but

1157
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: thank you very much for that. No, as far as

1158
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the Savannah Guthrie is, the Nancy Guthrie situation, that case,

1159
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: it just you would think with all the technological advances

1160
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that we have today that they would have been able

1161
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: to track her down. It's it's it is an absolute mystery,

1162
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know why they haven't been able to

1163
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,799
Speaker 1: crack it by now ten five, Dan Carroll till midnight

1164
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: tonight and we'll get to more phone calls after this

1192
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 6: on the campaign trail, uh this past time, and you

1193
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 6: know he was speaking about the national debt and you

1194
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 6: know how he's sometimes the bravado and you know he

1195
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 6: has the crowd and everything. You just wait and see.

1196
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 6: You know it's gonna that's gonna be gone away. I'm

1197
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 6: gonna take care of that. And he doesn't say, you know.

1198
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 7: The two weeks.

1199
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,719
Speaker 6: He didn't say two weeks, but he just it's gonna

1200
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 6: be taken care of.

1201
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 7: You just wait and see.

1202
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 8: You just wait and see.

1203
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 6: And then at the same break with the you know,

1204
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 6: national debt, the he would mention the auto plan. See,

1205
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 6: you know we're gonna you know, jobs are coming back,

1206
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:46,560
Speaker 6: and you would be amazed.

1207
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 8: We're gonna build.

1208
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 6: These thousands of car factories. You know we're gonna be

1209
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 6: making cars. You just wait and see, and you know,

1210
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 6: oh blah blah blah blah like that. So I need

1211
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:59,919
Speaker 6: to ask you on those two particular instances those two subjects.

1212
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 6: Can you kind of inform me on any progress, because

1213
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 6: if I'm not mistaken, I thought in Don John's first

1214
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 6: quarter of his the alleged presidency, but two point six

1215
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 6: or something two point eight trillion dollars was added to

1216
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 6: the debt and then the car manufactured, you know, the

1217
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 6: factories and everything. I haven't seen, like, you know, heard

1218
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 6: about a blueprint or anything or LUTTNT or you know,

1219
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 6: DJ Vance or anybody saying like yeah, yeah, you know,

1220
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 6: you know Don John's right, and you know this is

1221
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 6: where we're going to build this new car plan here

1222
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 6: in this factory there and everything. So I need to

1223
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 6: tell you, is it true or is it just another

1224
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 6: Don johns Well.

1225
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: No, when he's not lying about that when you talk

1226
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: about the federal debt, the debt and the deficit and

1227
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 1: all that.

1228
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:57,640
Speaker 7: No, the federal debt is streaking.

1229
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,759
Speaker 1: What we are on our way to forty two dollars

1230
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's going to be any stopping.

1231
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 7: Uh.

1232
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 1: And and here's the thing. It keeps expanding faster and

1233
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: faster because we keep spending more and more money on

1234
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: just the interest of the debt. So to my my

1235
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: understanding is is the way Trump looks at this is

1236
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: that the way to get a handle on that is

1237
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,759
Speaker 1: to expand growth. So Trump wants to grow the economy,

1238
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to do that. And if

1239
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: you've paid attention, uh, he was. He was up in

1240
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Michigan not that long ago. And I know what Ford

1241
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: was talking to. Ford's getting rid of all that's going

1242
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: away with the whole ev thing. They're going to start

1243
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: making more trucks. I mean, there's a lot there's a

1244
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: lot of car companies that are coming in. There's companies

1245
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: from Korea that are coming in that are going to

1246
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: build plants. So I think over the next look, and

1247
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 1: these things don't happen overnight. So I think we're going

1248
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 1: to see over the next couple of the next couple

1249
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: of weeks, or not in weeks, but in the next

1250
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 1: couple of well a couple of years, that we're going

1251
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: to see some progress on this front. So you know,

1252
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 1: these things take a long time, and it's not something

1253
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: you do over night. But no, the debt and the

1254
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: deficit are issues that need to be addressed in a

1255
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: serious way, and you can't keep kicking the can down

1256
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 1: on the road there. And I've said for years that

1257
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:24,719
Speaker 1: there is plenty, absolutely plenty of blame to go around

1258
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: for what has happened with with the just the out

1259
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: of control spending that we have in this country. But

1260
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: every time Trump tries to get a handle on that,

1261
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: look at the conniption fit that we see from those

1262
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: on the left when it comes to when it comes

1263
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 1: to even even cursory cuts, cuts that really don't don't

1264
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: amount to all that much, like the usai D stuff.

1265
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean, when you talk about a few billion here

1266
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: and a few billion there, it sounds like a lot

1267
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: of money, but in the overall scheme of things, it's

1268
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 1: not that much. And if we can't even get find

1269
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 1: some common ground on getting some cuts in those areas,

1270
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean when it comes to cutting the serious stuff,

1271
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we going to do then? And

1272
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: that's why you know, when Doge was was up and running,

1273
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 1: I was talking about Doge and and God bless them,

1274
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: I think they did great work, but they didn't they

1275
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 1: didn't find I mean, they didn't really And the description

1276
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: of Doge was what that these guys are in there,

1277
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: they're taking a hatchet to all this stuff. They're out

1278
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: of control and the cuts that they found. Again, while

1279
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: it seems in some areas and some of the spending

1280
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: that they found was totally ridiculous, but my point was

1281
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 1: that we need to start getting into that mindset that

1282
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: it's okay to spend less money, that it's okay just

1283
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: to stop wasting money. I mean, look at all the

1284
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 1: fraud that we have seen, not just in Minneapolis, but

1285
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: I mean all this medicare fraud that doctor Oz found

1286
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 1: in in Los Angeles, And I mean it's just because

1287
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,759
Speaker 1: every aspect of the federal government where money goes out,

1288
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: it just seems like it's, uh, it's just steeped in fraud.

1289
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: And Bessett, what does Beisena, it's like six hundred billion

1290
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: a year that that of federal spending that goes to fraud,

1291
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: and we can't even get together on deciding that, Yeah,

1292
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: getting rid of that is a good idea.

1293
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 7: So that's a major problem.

1294
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 6: And let me let me just say this real quick,

1295
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,719
Speaker 6: because I know you got to get to other callers.

1296
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 6: I remember dining down some months ago, you know, and

1297
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 6: he made a comment, Uh, he was off the campaign trail.

1298
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 6: It might have been there in the Oval office, but

1299
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 6: he said, you know that uh, Mexico and Canada, you know,

1300
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 6: they're not even going to make cars anymore, that the

1301
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 6: automobiles are going to be made in the United States.

1302
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 6: That we're going to take that over they he said,

1303
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 6: words to the fact that we won't even they won't

1304
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,839
Speaker 6: even those countries want to be making the cars anymore.

1305
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 6: And I just another thing, and it just popped in

1306
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 6: my mind when you were just so eloquently stating your opinions,

1307
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 6: but a terrorists. Don John said that the money coming

1308
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 6: back to the United States from tariffs him putting these

1309
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 6: shakedowns on countries and leaders in countries and things like that,

1310
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 6: you know, and throwing a little bitcoin, you know magic

1311
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,680
Speaker 6: in there, you know, bitcoin dust. Don John said that

1312
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 6: terrorifts were going to be used to reduce the depth

1313
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 6: cit as well, and that those the money from terraffs

1314
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 6: is going in the pockets of Americans.

1315
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1316
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 5: True.

1317
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: Well, well, let me let me give you let me

1318
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: give you just a few of the economic headlines I

1319
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: was I was doing a show earlier this week, and

1320
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: I had a list of economic headlines that I thought

1321
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: were pretty good. Real wages in America have grown by

1322
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: fourteen on average of fourteen hundred dollars and Trump's for

1323
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: first year. So in one year, you, me and everyone

1324
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: listening to me is taking home an extra fourteen hundred

1325
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: dollars in real wages. Gas prices, of course coming down,

1326
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: although it was interesting.

1327
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 7: I got gas.

1328
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: I was driving my wife's car earlier today and I

1329
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,799
Speaker 1: had to fill it up, and I got gas for

1330
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: a dollar what I get it for a dollar thirty one?

1331
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 1: And then I got in the car to come here

1332
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 1: to the station tonight and the gas price had gone

1333
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: up to uh it wasn't a dollar third but two

1334
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: thirty one, right, yeah, and then at that time it

1335
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: was two ninety nine. So yeah, And I think that

1336
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: might be a re action to what's happening over in

1337
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:39,879
Speaker 1: the Middle East right now, jar.

1338
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 7: Hold on, hold on, no't worry. And look, I'm extremely disappointed.

1339
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: What about I certainly, I mean, look, there's a there's

1340
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 1: a giant build up right now, there's I'm seeing all

1341
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: kinds of people talking about how an attack looks like

1342
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: it's imminent. It could happen Friday, could happen this weekend.

1343
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going to happen there. I

1344
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,759
Speaker 1: certainly hope it doesn't come to that. But gas prices

1345
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: have come down. The average IRS tax refund has gone

1346
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: up two ninety dollars nearly eleven percent from last year.

1347
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 1: Consumer price increases two point four percent annually in January.

1348
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: That is less than expected. So inflation is apparently completely

1349
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: under control in just one year's time under Trump compared

1350
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,759
Speaker 1: to what we had under Joe Biden. January inflation report

1351
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: sparks sparks of market rally. Let's see, there's a time,

1352
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: there's a Taiwan trade deal, major oil companies are resuming

1353
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: energy production. So there's all this activity that is just

1354
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: getting in I mean, really, it is just getting out

1355
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: of neutral and getting in the first gear right now.

1356
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: And these teams take time, they take time to come around.

1357
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 1: But I think there's a lot of indicators right now

1358
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 1: to show that the economy is moving in the right direction.

1359
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: But I do agree with you that we need to

1360
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: get a handle on spending and a handle on debt

1361
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: and deficits in d C, because that's gonna that's gonna

1362
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: be I think, more than anything else, the downfall of

1363
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: this country.

1364
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 6: Well and real quick. Dan just want debt, you know,

1365
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 6: and I'm not saying this, you know in a disparaging way.

1366
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 6: But you know, it's almost like a necessary evil that

1367
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 6: we have to deal with on the you know, greatest

1368
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 6: country on Earth. Because when I look at past presidents,

1369
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 6: I've never heard any past presidents that you just wait

1370
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 6: and see, I'm gonna take care of that. You'll be

1371
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 6: surprised and it's gonna be all taken care of. I'm

1372
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,839
Speaker 6: gonna make Dick go away. I've never heard any presidents

1373
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 6: say it but this one. And I and I get

1374
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 6: him Trump.

1375
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: Look, he's a businessman. He is supremely confident in his ability.

1376
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: But I mean, look the other thing he's got his

1377
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: Dude's got a lot on his plate. I mean, I

1378
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: mean he's trying to dismantled the deep state, brick by brick,

1379
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: and that is a time. I mean, all this stuff

1380
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: that he goes into is unbelievably time consuming when you

1381
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:12,759
Speaker 1: talk about foreign policy, when you're trying to talk about

1382
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 1: trying to and look the the idea. And I've said

1383
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: this before, Trump is above all he's a businessman, and

1384
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:22,520
Speaker 1: I think Trump.

1385
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 7: Really believed you come to that conclusion. I'm just going

1386
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 7: out on a limb there. I probably.

1387
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 6: Bankrupt the Bankruptcyson closed you know, casinos and and you know,

1388
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 6: going loans for you know, Denmark or whatever. These banks

1389
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 6: not Denmark but Douche Bank or whatever, you know, getting

1390
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 6: these loans and they're saying like, no, we're not going

1391
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 6: loan on you, brother.

1392
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 8: You know you're a horrible businessman.

1393
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 6: I mean, come on, well he is.

1394
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 5: He's a.

1395
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:56,719
Speaker 7: Was, he's a businessman. And look everything that Donald Trump.

1396
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 1: Will you agree with me that Donald Trump has been

1397
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: third really investigated, uh for decades now, since I mean

1398
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 1: even before even before he became president. You don't think

1399
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: the I R. S. Was was thoroughly examining every single

1400
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: thing that and and everything.

1401
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 6: They wanted him to pay his taxes, Dad thirty.

1402
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 7: He paid his taxes. All he did was follow the

1403
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 7: laws that were already on the books.

1404
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 6: And he didn't write, well, you're right, because there are

1405
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 6: loopholes that you know, guys like him, they know all

1406
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 6: the tricks that are trade and things like that. But

1407
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,799
Speaker 6: it is showing the tax presenting those.

1408
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: Is he somehow to be uh, you know, frowned upon

1409
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 1: because he was able to look at the laws and

1410
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 1: use the laws.

1411
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 6: Playing the game, playing the game, you know, that's one thing,

1412
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 6: But showing the real tax returns that everybody, every American.

1413
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 8: Every president.

1414
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 6: I can't remember a president refusing to show those tax returns.

1415
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 6: I can't. You might can remember a president, but you know,

1416
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 6: and you would they gay body. You guys always say

1417
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 6: that you know the corrupt, crooked Biden crime family. But

1418
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:06,480
Speaker 6: Biden showed his taxes.

1419
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 7: So hey, so Rafael as n never did.

1420
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,440
Speaker 6: So there's where there's smoke, there's fire, and that's suggests.

1421
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 6: But anyway, Dan, I appreciate you together.

1422
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 7: I remember see she came on All Breakfast one night.

1423
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 1: They got someone to her uh a Donald Trump tax

1424
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: return and it showed the people once the expert's got

1425
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: to look at it and showed it was perfectly fine.

1426
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 6: So I don't know that might have been drawn up

1427
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 6: by cash but tail or somebody. But anyway, I appreciate

1428
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 6: you brother, you.

1429
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 7: Later all right, Thanks for the fun. Have a great night.

1430
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 7: There you go, Rafael and bond Hill. I always appreciate uh.

1431
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 1: And we don't agree on everything, but at least he

1432
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: he knows how to disagree in the correct way.

1433
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 7: Christ in Cincinnati, what's going on? Hey? Hell's it going? Okay,

1434
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 7: we've only got it.

1435
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: We got about a minute here I spent a lot

1436
01:23:58,160 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: of time with Rafael there.

1437
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 7: You sure did it.

1438
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 10: But I'm just going to what about the inactiveness of

1439
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 10: the Republican Party to do anything about anything. They talk

1440
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 10: a mean talk, but they're not doing nothing. What Ian,

1441
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 10: did you just come out and say open Democrats are

1442
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 10: for open borders in the Mexico and the Republicans are

1443
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 10: for the twenty percent of the Wall Street people that

1444
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 10: screw the rest of us.

1445
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, they don't think that. Well, I

1446
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: don't think that's what Republicans stand for. But I do

1447
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: agree with you about about the inaction. I was talking

1448
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: earlier this week about h and Kressoff. I appreciate the

1449
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: phone call tonight. I was talking earlier this week about

1450
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: what's going on in Virginia where they just did a

1451
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,600
Speaker 1: gerrymandered map where they had They've got eleven districts in

1452
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Virginia congressional districts, and I think Republicans have I think

1453
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: four of them right now, and they've redrawn the map

1454
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: to where it's going to wind up where Republicans have

1455
01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: one district in Virginia. And that is a a ruthless,

1456
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: unapologetic exercise of power and so when when the Democrats

1457
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: have it, they're not afraid to do it. When Republicans

1458
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: have it now they they're a little whimpy on their end.

1459
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: So I do agree with I'm on that front. Eleven

1460
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: twenty four. We got to get to a break five one, three,

1461
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 1: seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred the Big One.

1462
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: If you want to get on board, it's the Wednesday

1463
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 1: Night edition of the Midweek Crisis on seven hundred WLW.

1464
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: Back on the Big Ones, seven hundred WLW eleven thirty

1465
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 1: eight Wednesday Night edition of the midwek Crisis, and iHeartMedia

1466
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: and seven hundred WLW salute Cincinnati's own Procter and gamble.

1467
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: If you've got someone there you would like for us

1468
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: to recognize on the air, text us their name to

1469
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: five one eight eight one, five one eight eight one

1470
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: and be listening.

1471
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 7: What do we have?

1472
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: We come down the home stretch of the Midweek Crisis.

1473
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: Donald trum up and ounce some getting rid of some

1474
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: EPA regulations on Friday, and this is going to greatly

1475
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: reduce the cost of cars for Americans, which I think

1476
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 1: is a great thing. But of course, the leftists having

1477
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: a conniption about the environment and all the rest of that.

1478
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: And they even said in a couple of instances that

1479
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: somehow the Americans had the ability to control the climate

1480
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: in this country.

1481
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 7: It's completely ridiculous.

1482
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 1: She was asked about that today, Caroline Levitt was and

1483
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: Joe Wadell, if we get your cut number four please.

1484
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 3: This is one of the largest deregulatory actions ever taken

1485
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 3: in the United States of America. And overall, it's going

1486
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,640
Speaker 3: to save our country one point three trillion dollars in

1487
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 3: regulatory regulatory burdens that have really done nothing for our country,

1488
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 3: nothing for our nothing for our economy. In fact, this

1489
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 3: announcement received widespread and bipartisan praise. I think I recall

1490
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:10,600
Speaker 3: seeing the editorial board of the Washington Post, of all places,

1491
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 3: even commending the President and Administrator Zelden for this historic

1492
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 3: action last week. So there's no doubt it is going

1493
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 3: to save the American consumer money. And I'd be happy

1494
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 3: to provide that specific economic analysis to you.

1495
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things in the first

1496
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:30,799
Speaker 1: Trump administration that wasn't talked about was how much the

1497
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: regulatory burden that he took off the American people, how

1498
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: much that really spurred the economy. So, I mean, it's

1499
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 1: great to have all that headline news about jobs reports

1500
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 1: and whether the GDP and growth and all that interest

1501
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: rates and all that, but the regulatory stuff is big too,

1502
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: And when.

1503
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 7: The Democrats get back in charge, well it will be

1504
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 7: a whole new a whole new slate of regulation. Let's see.

1505
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 7: Let's see.

1506
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: Here's the piece that I had earlier today about what's

1507
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: going on with Iran. President Trump sent to gerald Ford

1508
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: the world's largest warship to the Middle East, along with

1509
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: a huge fleet of aerial refueling tankers F twenty two

1510
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 1: and F thirty five strike fighters. The massive build up

1511
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 1: is the biggest indication yet that Trump could be preparing

1512
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: for large scale strikes against Iran if high stakes negotiations

1513
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:37,040
Speaker 1: over Iran's nuclear program and brutal crackdown on the protesters fail.

1514
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: So apparently there are still negotiations going on. They have

1515
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 1: not been very fruitful as of yet. The Iyatola Kamani Kamani,

1516
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how you pronounce his name, the Supreme

1517
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:59,560
Speaker 1: leader of Iran, apparently said that the aircraft carrier that

1518
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:02,839
Speaker 1: they've got there, he said they his military has weapons

1519
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:06,600
Speaker 1: capable of sending the aircraft carrier to the bottom of

1520
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: the sea. Really don't think that's gonna happen. He's getting

1521
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: just a little too carried away there. An unnamed advisor

1522
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: told Axios that while some around Trump have warned against

1523
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 1: war with Iran, kinetic action is likely soon. The source

1524
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: noted that it would likely be a joint US Israel

1525
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: campaign that's much broader in scope, more existential for the regime.

1526
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: It's that the Israeli led than the Israeli led Twelve

1527
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Day war last June, which the US eventually joined and

1528
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:50,719
Speaker 1: took out a RAN's underground nuclear facilities. The Israeli government

1529
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:54,679
Speaker 1: which is pushing for a maximalist scenario targeting regime change

1530
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 1: as well as Iran's nuclear and missile programs. So they

1531
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,720
Speaker 1: want regime change and get rid of the get rid

1532
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 1: of the nukes. So we will see what happens with that.

1533
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't come to that. I believe Trump

1534
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: is opposed to putting any boots on the ground, so

1535
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I hope he stays true to that. Now you got

1536
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 1: the big sewage spill in d C and the mayor

1537
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: has announced a state of emergency over the millions of

1538
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 1: gallons of raw sewage spilling into the Potomac River. They're

1539
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: calling it an ecological crisis. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declared

1540
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 1: a state of emergency today.

1541
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:43,600
Speaker 7: She says.

1542
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 1: She's going to pursue federal funding to help deal with

1543
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: the Potomac sewage spill. The federal government's already already doing

1544
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 1: and Trump was on this a couple of days ago.

1545
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: DC Water insists the water is safe to drink. Really

1546
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: A uh no, I I wonder, I wondered how scarce

1547
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: any any water source, any anyone that's that's even around

1548
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 1: that area. I wonder what it is trying to buy

1549
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: bottled water around there right now, because you got all

1550
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: this raw sewage that is uh pouring into the into

1551
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 1: the river there. Just absolutely horrific. And then the the

1552
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Daily Caller had a look a piece about the the

1553
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 1: head of DC Water and Sewer and while hundreds of

1554
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 1: millions of gallons are all sewage accumulated in its pipes,

1555
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority was focused

1556
01:31:55,040 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: on diversity and equity and other left wing priorities, setting

1557
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 1: the stage what may be the largest sewer spill sewage

1558
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:09,600
Speaker 1: spill in American history. D C Water CEO David L.

1559
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 1: Gaddis has championed equity and diversity throughout his tenure. He

1560
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,919
Speaker 1: was also named in a lawsuit against his former employer

1561
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: for allegedly withholding information about water contamination in Flint, Michigan.

1562
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: So what are the chances? What are the chances that

1563
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 1: in Flint? The Flint, Michigan water story is just horrific?

1564
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 1: But what are the chances that the same guy who

1565
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:44,160
Speaker 1: was a major player in the Flint, Michigan water story

1566
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 1: is going to be a major player in the largest

1567
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: raw sewage spill that we may have ever seen. DC

1568
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 1: Water CEO David Gaddis has championed equity and diversity throughout

1569
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:03,759
Speaker 1: his tenure. Before joining DC Water in twenty eighteen, Goddis

1570
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:07,600
Speaker 1: served as executive vice president of Viola North American and

1571
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: CEO of Viola Water Indianapolis, the utility's first black CEO

1572
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 1: and first black executive to lead a major Indianapolis utility.

1573
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 1: According to his bio, touts his partnership with multiple municipal

1574
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:28,879
Speaker 1: leaders and his leadership on diversity initiatives. That reputation faced scrutiny.

1575
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, an amended class action lawsuit sided a

1576
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Viola statement in which Goddis promised the company would deploy

1577
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 1: its technical expertise to ensure water safety for the people

1578
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 1: of Flint, Michigan, touting experience with challenging water sources and

1579
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: contamination management. The suit claimed residents had every reason to

1580
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 1: rely on Viola's subsequent assurance of safety. Viola told the

1581
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: public that Flint's discolored drinking water resulted from old, unlined

1582
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: cast iron pipe, when it actually contained dangerous levels of lead.

1583
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: The four of the city's former mayor testified to this

1584
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Emails later revealed Viola officials new

1585
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:21,320
Speaker 1: problems extended beyond discoloration and foul odor, noting that lead

1586
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 1: seems to be a problem. Those emails were exchanged the

1587
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:30,639
Speaker 1: day before private meeting where lead went unmentioned. Goddess copy

1588
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: was copied on the emails discussing potential lead issues before

1589
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: attending a public meeting where Viola officials repeatedly assured residents

1590
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:44,560
Speaker 1: the water was safe. We had greenish, brownish water. It

1591
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 1: smelled weird, giving people rashes. They were losing their hair.

1592
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: Patients were asking was it okay to use this top

1593
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 1: water to mix their baby formula, a doctor said at

1594
01:34:56,040 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 1: the Public Health at Michigan State University. By February twenty

1595
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: twenty five, ye OI had contributed seventy nine point three

1596
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 1: million the settlements with Michigan or roughly twenty six thousand

1597
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 1: individual acclaimants. The company maintains it stands by it's good

1598
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 1: work in Flint. So let me see. Before Gaddis arrived

1599
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: in DC, DC Water was considered a global role model,

1600
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: commanding one of the highest reputations in the water sector

1601
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: according to World's Leaders. Goddis sought to take authority to

1602
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:39,000
Speaker 1: the next level by prioritizing equity for employees, customers, and

1603
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:47,760
Speaker 1: communities and contractors. They see he was named recognized when

1604
01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:49,759
Speaker 1: it named. He was named one of the ten most

1605
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 1: influential Black corporate leaders in twenty twenty two. Part of

1606
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 1: that effort, ironically includes lead free d C, which Gadis

1607
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 1: says incorporates community equity considerations into project prior prioritization processes.

1608
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 1: I want to win for our community by extending water

1609
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:12,839
Speaker 1: equity to what is water equity?

1610
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 13: What?

1611
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 7: What?

1612
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:19,960
Speaker 1: Why can't you just run a good water and sewer operation?

1613
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 1: What does water equity have to do with anything? Under Godatus.

1614
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:31,320
Speaker 1: DC Water also pursued fair share objectives to boost participation

1615
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:35,759
Speaker 1: from disadvantage minority and women owned business enterprises, and effort

1616
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,760
Speaker 1: originally driven by EPA threats to pool federal funding from

1617
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 1: authorities that failed to show good faith compliance. So let's see,

1618
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean, this goes on and on and on talking

1619
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: about what this guy did and the contracts that went

1620
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:59,479
Speaker 1: out got all these companies that may or may not

1621
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:05,679
Speaker 1: have been qualified to do work on the water system.

1622
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: The spill began nearly a month ago with three hundred

1623
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: million gallons of bacteria laiden sewage entering the river, echoing

1624
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 1: the Flint ordeal. DC Water admitted on February ninth it

1625
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 1: made a critical error and reporting E. Coli levels. So

1626
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 1: the same guy that was involved with Flint telling people

1627
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: the water was safe, it is the same guy saying that, yeah,

1628
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: it's still safe to be in the river, although the

1629
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: district is advising people to maybe not not recreate in

1630
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 1: the river or or drink any water that comes out

1631
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 1: of it. What a mess. Well, I hope they get

1632
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:55,639
Speaker 1: that squared away. Chuck Schumer says that the Pride flag

1633
01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: should have the same legal standing as the United States

1634
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 1: flag and military banners. Isn't that great? The Pride flag

1635
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 1: should have the same legal standing as the US flag,

1636
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:19,680
Speaker 1: And really, I mean, are we going to now have

1637
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 1: arguments about that? Are we going to say that we

1638
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 1: can't find common ground on the flag and say that

1639
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 1: the Pride flag is now equal to the American flag

1640
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: in terms of legal standing? Where do these ideas come from?

1641
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 1: Ed Marky was out there talking today about a trans

1642
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 1: wright's bill that he's going to introduce. Joe Wadell, can

1643
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 1: we are cutting number seven police?

1644
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:04,559
Speaker 8: We're going to.

1645
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 4: Fight every single day to put trans rights into the

1646
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 4: law of our country because trans rights are human rights.

1647
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 4: And that's why my colleagues and I have laid out

1648
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 4: a simple yet powerful truth in the Trans Bill of Rights.

1649
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,760
Speaker 4: Trans people have the right to live free from discrimination.

1650
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 4: Trans people have the right to live free from violence,

1651
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 4: and trans people have the right to live free from

1652
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:34,639
Speaker 4: government intrusion into their bodies and into their lives. Our

1653
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 4: resolution affirms the right to gender affirming health care, the

1654
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 4: right to accurate identity documents, the right to fully participate

1655
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 4: in school, in work, and in public life just like

1656
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 4: anyone else.

1657
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 1: Well, if Ed Markey is talking about adults. Then he

1658
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:08,639
Speaker 1: needs to reread the Constitution, because even if if you're trans,

1659
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: the Constitution guarantees you and you enjoy the exact same

1660
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: rights that I enjoy. There should be no such thing

1661
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 1: as And he goes on to talk about how trans

1662
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 1: rights are human rights, and that's perfectly fine. I mean,

1663
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: it's fine, say say that all you want, but it's

1664
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:39,760
Speaker 1: a meaningless it's a meaningless idea. And I go back

1665
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: to the argument that I heard from Rush years ago

1666
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:49,480
Speaker 1: when he said the smallest minority there is is the individual.

1667
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 1: Because there's no one else like you. You are your own minority.

1668
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:58,599
Speaker 1: So and that's the brilliance of the Constitution, because it

1669
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: guarantees rights to the individual, not to a group, not

1670
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:07,599
Speaker 1: to any sex, not to any sexual identity, identity, anything

1671
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:14,320
Speaker 1: like that. The individual saw that mumbo jumbo that he's

1672
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 1: talking about is a bunch of nonsense. And with that,

1673
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I will see you again tomorrow night.

1674
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,560
Speaker 1: We'll do it from nine to midnight on Thursday on

1675
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:25,000
Speaker 1: the Thursday night edition of The Midweek Crisis. Until then,

1676
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 1: have yourself a great night, and we'll see you tomorrow

1677
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 1: on the Home of the Reds seven hundred wlw
