WEBVTT - 11-4-25 The Nightcap with Gary Jeff Walker 0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:07.040 Welcome to the Nightcap on seven under WLW Election night 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:11.440 in Cincinnati and elsewhere, and of course we'll be covering 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:12.119 those results. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:16.560 It looks like have Ted purvol has been it's projected 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.920 to win the mayor's race in Cincinnati, and the city 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:21.120 council isn't changing. 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.079 And you have to scratch your head and wonder. 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:27.720 Why, except that people who were concerned about the way 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.760 things have been going didn't turn out and vote again Again, 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.040 we'll get to that. Gary Jeff with you on this 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:40.319 Tuesday night, November fourth, and it is off yr election night. 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.360 And before we begin, just. 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:50.840 Some thoughts on election night, especially one of these next 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.120 to your course in midterms and you will see greater 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.440 turnout and more enthusiasm and more energy and more electricity 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.120 around that because it really determines the balance of power 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.840 in our federal government. But all politics is local, I thought. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.800 And when you have routinely in a city, say like Cincinnati, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.600 where only twenty percent of the population turns out, unless 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.520 it's a presidential election or even a midterm election, a 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:29.880 mayoral election, this is the election that controls how your 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.839 city is governed, where you live, and you don't show 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:38.240 up at the polls unless you are one of those 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.839 extremely partisan people. And in the city of Cincinnati, most 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.560 of those extremely partisan people are Democrats, obviously by the 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:52.000 results that we get in almost every election for how 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:58.080 many of the last few decades, fifty sixty years. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.120 Something like that. 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.160 You can't expect change if you don't go out and 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.280 pull the lever, or you don't have your vote registered. 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.800 And I was thinking about that too from my particular standpoint, 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:13.280 and not just in off year elections. I had nothing 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.120 to vote for it all. I live in northern Kentucky 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.440 and there was nothing on the ballot on the issues 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.799 really for me to voice my opinion about, which I 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.079 do every time I get a chance. I don't live 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.280 in Cincinnati. I don't live in Cleveland either, Samwish, but 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.040 I don't live in New Jersey or Virginia or New 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.840 York City. And the way I am seeing these races 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.880 shape up around the country, I'm really glad I don't 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.520 because I wouldn't vote for any of these people who 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.160 are the current front runners right now, unless even if 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.840 I had a gun to my head, even if I 0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:01.200 was being promised everything free for the rest of my life. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:06.120 We have politicians offering you free stuff, all freedom goes away, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.720 all real freedom, and those of us who are smart 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.120 enough know that. I wouldn't say that a lot of 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.280 gen z qualifies as smart enough. And apparently in New 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.880 York City at least they've been energized to vote for 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.320 a communist calling whatever you want. But there are more 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:30.079 important things. My wife and I just got back from 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.440 Middle Tennessee to see my parents this weekend. Had a 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.760 great overnight visit with mom and dad on Sunday, came 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:42.040 back yesterday afternoon. Not enough time, but at least we 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:46.200 got to go. My dad was eighty nine last Thursday 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.880 night on November or October thirtieth, eighty nine and still 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.560 just hanging in there. My mother is eighty eight, and 0:03:54.640 --> 0:04:02.040 she is absolutely a machine, energizer, bunner, a bunny plus. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.320 But I got off the phone with my mom this 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:09.600 afternoon found out that quite suddenly, one of my younger brothers, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:18.799 John had emergency surgery, just out of the blue, to 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.960 reconnect his intestines with his stomach. Stuff wasn't getting through. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.320 But this is just like like that. Nobody knew anything 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:33.800 was wrong until it was, and he's in ICU right 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.360 now at a hospital in Smyrna, Tennessee. My brother John, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.440 My brother Dwyane, who was going to take my mother 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.120 from Hendersonville out to Smyrna to see my brother in 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.719 the hospital, had a car accident on the way to 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:55.880 go to pick my mom up. Must be the bare 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.640 moon on the way. Our first guest of the evening 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.760 is a woman who is an independent journalist. She is 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.359 a White House reporter. Her name is Karin Clifford, and 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.320 we'll talk about the implications for the Trump administration with 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.440 the elections that are going on tonight and what it 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.520 means for the midterms. Who knows Karinn Clifford on the 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.280 way In just a few moments. My old buddy Rick Robinson, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.479 lawyer and author and friend, will join us at nine 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.080 thirty five. He spent many a year in Washington, d c. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:26.800 And in the. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:31.680 Powers of political the corridors of political power in the 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.800 Commonwealth of Kentucky. Worked with Jim Bunning when he was 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:41.240 in the Senate. He will join us a little bit 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.120 later on this hour. Jim Nacy, who knows a lot 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.280 about elections. He's won some, he's lost some, and has 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.160 some definite opinions, not only on what went on around 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.880 the country in the elections that were held, but also 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.880 the government shut down, which is shaping up now to 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.400 be the longest ever in our country's history. And at 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.719 eleven o'clock we will have an hour of sports for 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.040 the out of sorts. The wild Man Ann Furman will 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.520 join us regular Night Cap contributors, and you can be 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.440 a contributor to The phone lines are open all night, 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.839 so I've got anything that sparks your fancy or you 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:18.640 want to chime in on elections or otherwise. And of course, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:25.080 the horrific plane takeoff crash in Louisville today around ten 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:30.919 after five this afternoon that laid a huge swath of 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.839 fire all over the runway at Muhammad Ali International Airport, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:40.719 left three people dead, eleven injured, and thousands under a 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.240 stay in place order with the jet fuel all over 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.599 the place and fire and the ensuing smoke from that fire. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.440 So it's been a big day, not necessarily the kind 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.400 that you want to see, but lots to cover. It's 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.080 nine sixteen current. Think Clifford will join this in just 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.960 a few moments from the Washington Reporters Press Pool on 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.840 seven hundred WLW. On this election night, in Cincinnati and 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.080 elsewhere around the country. Gary Jeff with you on the 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:17.480 Nightcap on seven hundred WLW, joining us now is a 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.280 prominent member of the White House Press Corps, independent journalist 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.240 and spokesperson for SAT one two three dot com, a 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:32.080 leading provider of emergency communication tools, originally from Pacific Palisades, California, which, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.520 of course we all saw tragically destroyed by the wildfires 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.560 in January of this year. She has a very personal 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:44.720 perspective coverage of emergencies and national crises. Just had an 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.720 emergency today at Muhammad Ali International Airport down the road 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.360 in Louisville, Kentucky. Korinn Clifford joins us Karin, Good evening. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.640 I understand from what my producer says that you're sounding 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.600 a lot like Secretary Kennedy right now. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.600 You're so horse from doing interviews all day. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.760 Yes, I sound like Secret Kennedy. I actually sound a 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.120 lot like Demi Moore too. I lost my voice from 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.120 the election coverage I've been doing all day at the 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:12.760 White House. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:18.200 Oh my gosh. Well, you know, I think it's actually 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.000 quite fetching. And uh I love I love it. I 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.280 love a good voice. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.520 Especially that one I can give you a really good voice. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.240 It sounds like to me more. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.720 It does sound in your in your. 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.720 Former state of California. You know you don't live in California. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.959 Anymore, right, I live in California. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:41.600 You do. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:48.439 Virginia, Washington, d C. And Florida, and I registered to 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:53.520 vote in all three states. I didn't register in DC. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.680 I registered in California, Virginia, and Florida. And I got 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:03.760 threatened by the deputy sheriff if I vote, they will 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:04.280 arrest me. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.600 Well, I mean, you should, just you should. You should 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.440 become a Democrat and they'll let you do it. 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:17.480 Exactly exactly. They're telling me that because I registered in 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.240 three states, which I don't believe right to do that, 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.559 I can't vote. But I didn't vote. I didn't vote 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:28.119 because what's the point. Yes, the Democrats are winning everything 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:34.400 because they mess with our elections. I have phone calls 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:40.719 coming from all over America, from very simple electioneering to 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.160 very complex where they won't let people vote and then 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.880 they just throw your bullet in the trust. In Virginia, 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.679 you don't even have to show ida vote. How is 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.480 that possible? 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:54.160 Really? 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.000 Well, that explains the large margin that Spamberger has over 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.240 wins Sea. Uh, if they've just called New Jersey for 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.000 Mikey Cheryl, do you think do you think that Jack 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:11.040 Chittarelli after the third time should just say Okay, maybe 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.280 somebody else needs this. I will tell you what's interesting though, 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.600 And I'm just seeing it on the screen, Karen, is 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:22.320 that in New York mon Donnie is forty nine percent, 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.200 Curtis Lee was eight point nine, Cuoma was forty one. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.199 So it's it's literally a dead heat in New York City. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.200 But because Slee was in the race, it looks like 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.800 Mom Donnie is going to true to form win. This 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:35.960 may Earl's race there. 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:42.640 Slee and I love him known personally, he's an amazing person. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.040 That he should have dropped out of the race. He 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.200 should have dropped out of the race and let Cloma wins. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:49.760 Yeah. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.800 Between the two of them, they've got forty nine point 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.000 six percent of the vote. 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.640 Yes, And did you see that Elon Musk is tweeting 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.880 that there is a weird problem with the ballot in 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.360 New York City. So Elon Musk is admitting that there's 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.480 election corruption, potential fraud happening in the New York City race. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.040 It wouldn't surprise me a bit. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.880 After what was pulled off in twenty twenty around the 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.280 country in places like Pennsylvania, And that's all. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.200 Right, yes, And they haven't cleaned the voter rolls in 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.920 New York City, so dead people vote. In Virginia, we 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:35.199 have a major migrant crisis, and they're letting the illegals vote. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.040 In California is a train wreck because they're redistricting it. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:45.880 We have to go to executive orders by governors and 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:51.480 of course President Trump to hand count vote. We have 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.040 to use paper ballots and a receipt for you voted for, 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.920 and we have to hand count the vote before the 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.720 twenty twenty six midterms. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.840 This is this is the only thing you you say 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.440 that will guarantee a free and fair election. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:06.920 Karin. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:13.120 Yes, we're in trouble. Our elections are corrupted. And I've 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:18.120 interviewed hundreds of people across America because they call me. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.600 I dogs my phone number and they tell me what 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.800 they're going through. That's why I lost my voice today. 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.360 There's so much election. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.880 Well you thought you would have thought, Karin talking to 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.400 Karin Clifford, White House reporter and a spokesperson for SAD 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.040 one two three dot com Krinn, you would have thought 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.719 after twenty twenty and the court battles that were won 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:48.200 too late, after the fact, uh, that we were over 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.000 that in this country. You'd have thought that people enough 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:56.040 people had woken up to not let that ever happen again. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.440 But apparently we have to. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.520 Paper ballot. Of course, id you have idea, but we 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:09.120 have to handcout the vote. We cannot use machines. We 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:14.120 cannot trust any machines. And I have studied this for 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.160 years now, for years and years. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.679 And President Trump has old. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:25.160 Team, and we better take action before the twenty twenty 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.040 six the terms. It's going to be a mess. 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.000 So do you think that means communists? 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:32.199 Now? 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:37.720 I know, do you think that being said Karin, that 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:44.000 this election really means anything as far as the Democrats 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.560 regaining power in the House or the Senate, or that 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.880 there's some kind of blue wave coming next year or 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.240 this is an aberration and it's all been caused by 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.040 election fraud. 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.560 No, listen, there is no blue waves coming. There is 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:04.000 no blue waves coming. This is happening because we do 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.920 not have secure elections. We have to go to paper pilots. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.760 We have to go to hand counting the vote. The 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:19.920 Democrats to not be winning California is Republican. I interview 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.800 hundreds of people across America. The elections are. 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:30.080 Corrupted and now and now Newsom has convinced the population 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.120 or maybe through vote fraud, is getting Prop fifty passed, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.760 and they're going to try and ensure that it's almost 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.800 impossible for a Republican to get elected in the House 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.400 of Representatives from California. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.120 Yes, to read this certainment. So it's a big mess. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:53.040 We're in trouble because we haven't taken action. We talk 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.360 that we haven't done any new orders to meet. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.320 The elections fair, Karen. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:05.520 If people want to find out more, they can go 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.320 to If people want to find out more, they go 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.200 to SAT one two three dot com. As far as 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:13.080 your emergency preparedness that you're heavily involved with, we're out 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.400 of time, sadly, and you, young lady, need to go 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:17.240 rest your voice. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.560 God bless you, Thank you. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.760 God bless you. Thanks for hanging in there long enough 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.920 for us to get that done. Fraudulent elections in New 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.360 York City, in New Jersey and Virginia, she says, yes, 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.480 and in California. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.240 Scary stuff. 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:44.680 Nine thirty News time at seven hundred WLW meet the 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.800 new City Council in Cincinnati same as the old city 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:56.440 council except for Victoria Parks. That atrocity went away anyway, 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.600 And the mayoral r says, you know, has been called 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.360 for f tab purevol for quite a while now. And 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:11.360 my friend Pastor Cory Bowman, who put on a brilliant campaign, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.000 just not enough turnout people who truly care about the 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.040 city to make a change and make a difference that 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.600 the city desperately needs. And around the country more election 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.080 results that are all favoring Democrats so far. The race 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.120 just called in New York City a communist, he calls 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:37.320 himself a Democrat socialist. Zran Memdani is going to win 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.200 with just over fifty percent of the vote. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:41.600 Now. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.280 Andrew Cuomo had forty one point three percent of the vote. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:51.280 Curtis Leiwa had seven point five percent of the vote. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.000 So that's forty eight point eight if by math is correct, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:17:00.680 and it seldom is to fifty point four for this 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:06.480 smiling piece of well, I'm not entitled to an opinion. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:11.399 I don't live in New York City. But basically, what 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.400 seems to me to be an empty suit promising everything free. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.080 And as I mentioned earlier, if everything's free, then you 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:27.680 really don't have any freedom as an individual. Soviet Union, Venezuela, Cuba, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:33.000 check it out, Communist China. To talk about election night, 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.080 a guy who's been on the inner workings of many 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.800 a political campaign. He's been inside the Beltway in Washington, DC, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:45.960 He's been to Frankfurt. He probably has a chair there 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.199 at some bourbon bar with his name engraved on the 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.639 back of it. He is our guest. Now, my friend, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:57.119 author lawyer Rick Robinson joins us. Hello, mister Robinson, how. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:02.719 Are you meet the boss? 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:01.560 Say? 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.280 Oh, boss, that's it. 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.199 Yeah, I welcome to Cincinnati politics. I tell you what, 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:09.360 you gotta love that one. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.680 The wheel just goes round and round and round, and 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.840 the and the Gerbils still isn't is any the wiser anyway? 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:17.280 Go ahead? 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.000 You know you know what I love about that race. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:26.240 The guy who broke into the house of the congressional 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.920 candidate Fisher was the day I can't remember. He's not last. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.720 Well in Virginia, the attorney general might not be the 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.679 guy who fantasized about putting bullets in the head of 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.200 the then Republican Speaker of the House in the Commonwealth. 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.679 He was leading by a slim margin earlier, but a 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:56.120 split ticket in what is usually fairly blue Virginia. It 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.240 may it may happen that that race has not been called. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.639 As far as I know, the Attorney General's race with 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:02.960 Jay Jones, I don't. 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.040 I do not think it has. I've been following a 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.040 couple of these races and I don't think that one 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:08.560 has been been called yet. 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.280 Who fantasized about putting ahead in mister Gilbert h putting 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.240 bullets in mister Gilbert's head and then having his children 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.560 die in their mother's arms as she wept. This is something. 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.600 This is someone that people in Virginia, you know, still 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.280 feel inclined to vote for. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.720 That really doesn't fit very well on a bumper sticker. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.760 You're right about you gotta that's a lot of words. 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.600 You gotta know how you put that on a bumper 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:37.200 stick right? 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:37.439 You know? 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.920 Yard sign maybe you know, But yeah, that's still just 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:41.960 a lot of ready to do. 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.000 Oh God, who was a comedian who used to say 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.359 I'll kill you a million times? 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:47.000 Uh? 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.199 It's maybe maybe that's what he should have on his 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:55.919 bumper sticker. Jay Jones in Virginia. You had some Dick's 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.800 Dick Cheney stories you wanted to share, and and I 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:03.000 think it would be an appropriate time post mortem. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.520 Uh I got I got to tell you that there 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.879 are a couple of times that with candidates that I 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.240 was working with are helping out or doing other things, 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.399 Cheney would come in and do these various uh you 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.520 know new fundraiser that was a big deal. I mean 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.639 you getting the vice president to come into things. And 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.760 my favorite one actually, and my my wife and I 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:29.560 were laughing about this today because we when we when 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.640 we saw this. One of the things you do when 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.680 you when you get to the point of of having 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:39.480 somebody like that come in for a fundraiser, one of 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.960 the things that's very important is you get a certain 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:47.800 number of pictures. So when there's a line coming in, 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.920 you know, and you know you got people lined up, 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:57.880 you may get and fifty clicks and if you're fifty one, 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.920 you don't get a click. Doesn't matter who you are. 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.280 I saw Stan Airnoff turned away one time in the 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:12.199 air and off building. Whoa he And it's funny he 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.000 looked at the secret third and he goes, you know 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.639 how I am and the guy said Cigaret Thursday. He said, yes, sir, 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.400 you're the first person in the line that's not going 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:25.840 to get a picture with the vice president. But we 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.760 had this fundraiser coming in and one thing do you 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:32.640 do when you get these photo lines is you put 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:37.480 somebody at click zero you get the first picture, which 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:39.200 when we would run these for buddy and it would 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.520 be my wife, and then we would put somebody at 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.320 the back of the line for click number whatever number 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.280 we were arrest allowed. So Linda is sitting there, and 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.119 what is it interesting in this particular fundraiser is that 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:56.520 Lynn Cheney came to northern Kentucky as well because she 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:58.879 hadn't seen her husband for a while. He had been 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:01.560 on the road of campaigns. So they were meeting in Cincinnati, 0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.520 spend him a couple of days. Here, she's clicked zero. 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.800 She and Lynn Cheney hit it off together. They have 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:11.840 a wonderful time. They're doing everything she's Lynn Cheney is 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.840 telling her all about her husband, the vice president, everything else. 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.040 He comes walking around the corner and she goes and Linda, 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.720 this is my husband, my husband, the Vice President, Dick Cheney, 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.119 And Linda reaches over with such excitement as having a 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:29.040 Messa guy and haven't heard about she reaches around and HUNSI. Now, 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:34.680 one thing you don't do is secret hers around. What 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:41.439 happened what happened to your wife? Well, you know, you 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:47.960 know after she was out of the hospital. No, seriously, 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.440 the funny, the funny part of it was like Cheney's 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:56.120 reaction was like, hey, hey, hey, que in contact. You know. 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.320 So you never you never went hunting with Dick Cheney. 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.840 No, I never went hunting with Dick Cheney. Always always 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:06.919 stay away from that. I there there are things you 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.480 things you do in politics and things you don't do, 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.080 one of which is don't go bird hunting with Dick Chenning. 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.720 That's a bad idea. What a love to gone fly 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:16.879 fissuing with him though he was quite a fly fisher. 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:21.120 I understand that, being from from Wyoming and all of that. 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:22.800 A whole lot of that out there. 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:28.080 Uh any other Cheney references? Uh, what's the news of 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:29.119 his passage? 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:32.919 That's the same event of Another funny story is that 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.680 the influence of some people have is that everybody knew 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.800 during that time frame the context that Carl Linder had 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:45.040 with the Bush administration. And we're getting ready to put 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:47.520 on that fundraiser, and I get a call from the gatekeeper. 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.560 There was a person in ch in uh Carl Linder's 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:55.040 office that literally was known as quote the gatekeeper. 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:56.639 She calls me up and. 0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:00.600 She said, you know, you know, mister would like to 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.639 come down and say hi the vice president. And I said, 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:06.200 you know the routine. I'm going to tell the advanced 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.199 guy what's going on, and he's not going to allow it. 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:09.880 She said, yeah, but I'd like to try and get 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.400 it through proper channels first and then I'll figure it out. 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:16.359 So I walked over to the advanced guy and I said, 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.280 you know, there's somebody that you know called him months 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.320 to say hi the vice president of the courtesy. And 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:27.359 he goes, Rick, you know, I did this all the 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:29.520 time for the vice president, and every place I go, 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:34.280 somebody's the vice president's best friend, and you know we 0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:36.640 can't let people back in the hallway to meet him 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:38.800 without having being clared. And he guts you and I said, 0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:47.840 remember this conversation in fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes later, the 0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.240 guy walks up to me and he goes, who the hell 0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:54.000 is Carl Linder? I said, why is that? He goes, 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:56.720 I just got a phone call from the White House 0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.440 yelling at me what was I doing in so Carl 0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.360 Linder that I was to go out and find him 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.280 at his Rolls Royce and escort him personally in the 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:07.080 back room to say hi to Dick Cheney. 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:08.440 Who the hell is this guy? 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:10.040
