1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,240 Speaker 1: God he was up. 2 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Nightcap on Fat Tuesday on seven hundred WLW. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 2: Lynch is right around the corner, and so is my Congressman, 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: Thomas Massey. To open up the show. In moments, we'll 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: have Patrick Dornson, the common Sense Cowboy, with some advice 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: for you, a repeat of Saturday's Rock and Roll Archaeology, 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: and much much more. All ahead, and it begins with 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: the man from the fourth District in the Commonwealth of 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: Kentucky and the US House of Representatives.

Thomas Massey, next 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: senative is my congressman, and yours if you live in 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: north of Kentucky. Thomas Massey joins us again tonight for 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: a few minutes. I understand that the cold trying to 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: sap him out, but now he's feeling better and he's 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: getting the sap out of his maple trees on his farm. Thomas, 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Nightcab. 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: Thanks Gerry, Jeff. My voice still is a but they 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: didn't sap it all out of me and I and 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: I have been on the farm today collecting sap from 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 3: the maple syrup trees and boiling it down to make 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: some maple syrup. Maybe that'll get my health back in line. 22 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: There you go, a little hot toddy, a little maple syrup, 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: whatever you need, Thomas, and you've got it all right there. 24 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: You know you're famous, you famously talking about your farm. 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: People talk about this. Really when I mentioned that you're 26 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: going to be on the air, they talk about your 27 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: lifestyle and what you've carved out for yourself off the 28 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: grid more than they almost talk about anything else. And 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a good thing or bad 30 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: thing for you. We're going to talk about the other 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: stuff you're into, but you know, I've never really talked 32 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: to you about your kind of self sustained lifestyle you've 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: got there in northern Kentucky. 34 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's probably a good thing they're talking about this. 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: I mean with other politicians when they talk about what 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: they do in their spare time, it's not always a 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 3: good thing. But in the you know, the moments I 38 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: can catch away from DC, I'm trying to keep up 39 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: with my farm. I have about fifty head of cattle here. 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: This winter, with a struggle with the single digit temperatures, 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: my water froze up and I had to sense the 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: build a temporary fence so the cattle could get to 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: the creek where the running water wasn't froze even during 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: single digits. And you know, it's kind of a struggle, 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: but I enjoyed the struggle. 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: It keeps things real. 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: It recharges my batteries, you know, metaphorically, but literally too, 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 3: because I'm off the grids. I have solar here that's 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: charging a lithium battery that I took out of a 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: wrecked Model sque Tesla and repurpose to run my house. 51 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: And it's been running about. Yeah, my house is run 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: every day, every second of every day for ten years 53 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: off of a wrecked modelesque Tesla battery that I drove 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: down to Georgia and picked up out of a wreck. 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: Of course, I had to reprogram it to make it 56 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: all work, but it's been worth it. Now they make 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: batteries that you can buy for your house, but ten 58 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: years ago they didn't, so I had to build my own. 59 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: And it's not you know, obviously, you can't run on 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: a battery forever. So during the day, the battery is 61 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: charged with solar panels, which are actually pretty cheap these days. 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: They cost one twentieth of what they cost. When I 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: put my first panels up over twenty years ago, I wish. 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: We were finally making them in this country. 65 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: Some of them are, are they? Some of them are 66 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: There's a company where I'm not going to name any companies, 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: but if you go online you can find ones that 68 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: are made in the United States. Now, some of them 69 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: are just obviously just assembled, you know in quotes. You've 70 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: seen that on shoes and boots and stuff assembled in 71 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: the United States. But you got to give them some 72 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: credit for assembling in the United States. And some of 73 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: them are you know, American brands. And again I don't 74 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: want to name them. Sure, I don't want to give 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: free ads on your show. But anyways, people are maybe 76 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: at this point in the show saying, oh, Cottners MAGMASSI 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: is a liberal lefty. No, I don't believe we should 78 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: subsidize any of these solar panels. It's actually the free 79 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: market and competition that has brought the price down, not 80 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: government subsidies. 81 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: Right exactly. The reverse was true maybe ten or fifteen 82 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: years ago. 83 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: But well, here's something ironic. Twenty years ago, when I 84 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: bought my first panels, other states were subsidizing solar panels, 85 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: but Kentucky did not, and so I had to pay. 86 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 3: It raised the price of solar panels for people living 87 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: in Kentucky. So that was a pain in the butt. 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: You could actually go the other way when you subsidize things, 89 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: and look at the cost of college now, because it's 90 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: subsidized by the government with Stan's a minute, which aren't 91 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 3: paid back the Colleges Bill in Bolden to build these 92 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: taj Mahal student centers and things that they would never 93 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 3: do if students, you know, had to pay full fare, 94 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: the price would be actually be lower. 95 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: Is your water self sustaining? To Thomas, Yes it is. 96 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: August is a difficult month for me because it gets 97 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: pretty dry in Kentucky. In August, I dug my own 98 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 3: well with my back ho and then I borrowed a jackhammer. 99 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: I hit some bedrock, and I borrowed jackhammer from one 100 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: of my friends who has a company that works on railroads. 101 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: And I got down in that hall with that jackhammer 102 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: for a day to get just to get another foot 103 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: deeper into the bedrock. And I said, never again. I mean, 104 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 3: my head is off to anybody who uses a jackhammer 105 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: for you know, more than let's say eight hours a 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: week because it shakes everything in your body. 107 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: Thomas, We've talked about this before, but Thomas Massey co 108 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: authored to bill that got passed in November about releasing 109 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: the Epstein files, and it has been a slow compliance, 110 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 2: to say the least from the DOJ since that law 111 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: was signed into law by President Trump. Where are we 112 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 2: at now, Thomas, Well. 113 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: We've made some pretty good progress. I mean he's about 114 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: once a day a CEO or government official is resigning 115 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: around the globe. 116 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: Now. 117 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: Some of them are in France and Great Britain, but 118 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: the CEO of Yatt or sorry, chairman of Hyatt Hotels 119 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: resigned yesterday. And you know this is all because of 120 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: something that our commander in chief called a hoax. Obviously, 121 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: the Epstein files are not a hoax. He might have 122 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: been speaking about the Democrats' effort to weaponize these files 123 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: against him. But my co author and I his name's Rocanna, 124 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: and it's sure enough. He's on the other side of 125 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: the island. He hails from the left coast, California. But 126 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: we have labored to keep this from being political. It 127 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: shouldn't turn into a contest. You know, there were three 128 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: million files released and they think a lot of people 129 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: went there and tried to find out whose name shows 130 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: up more Bill Clinton or Donald Trump. And it's never 131 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 3: been about that for Rocanna or I because once it 132 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 3: turns into a red versus blue competition, then you can't 133 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: get the bipartisan vote that we got. This bill passed 134 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: four hundred and twenty seven to one in the House 135 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: and one hundred to not to in the Senate, and 136 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: the President signed it. We've got transparency to a degree, 137 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: but there needs to be more transparency. The files have 138 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: been over redacted, some files have not been released, but 139 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: even with what's there, it's obvious that Jeffrey Epstein in 140 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: fact had co conspirators. It wasn't just he and Maxwell 141 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 3: who should have been arrested and put in prison. There 142 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: are other men, and some of them have passed away, 143 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: John Luke Brenell from France, but there are other men 144 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: who need to be investigated because at least at some 145 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 3: point they were considered to be co conspirators by the 146 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: FBI in a sex trafficking ring. One of those would 147 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 3: be a famous Ohioan named Leslie Wexner, who appears in 148 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: the files. His name appears thousands of times, and by 149 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: the way, appearing in the files is not an indictment 150 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: or even you know, evidence that you should be indicted. 151 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: I appear in the files at least a dozen times 152 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: because I'm the FBI's newsletter for trying to get the 153 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 3: files released. But he the one instance, and this was, 154 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: you know, we had a hearing with Pam Bondy. I'm 155 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: on the Judiciary Committee, which is, by the way, the 156 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: jurisdiction of this legislation was the Judiciary Committee because it's 157 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: oversight of the DOJ and the FBI, and so by 158 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: virtue of serving on that committee, whenever Cash, Bettel or 159 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: Pambondi come to testify, I had five minutes with them. 160 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: I asked Pam Bondi about some of the reactions that 161 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 3: were troubling in one specific one with Leslie Wexner. Again 162 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: shows up thousands of times, as she pointed out, in 163 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 3: the files, but the one time he showed up on 164 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: an FBI document listed as a co conspirator in sex 165 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: trafficking crime is the one time they redacted his name. 166 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: I was able to discover that by going to the 167 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: DOJ and looking at the looking underneath of the reactions, 168 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: and I pressured them in to releasing that. And so 169 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 3: you know, the question is in he's issued a statement 170 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: or his lawyers have it said that the DOJ and 171 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: FBI told him they didn't consider him a person of 172 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: interest anymore and that he wasn't being investigated, and so 173 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: that he's exonerated. That's the statement from his lawyers. I 174 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: don't know if that happened or not, but that's what 175 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: they're saying. But my law, the Estin File Transparency Act, 176 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 3: requires the DOJ and the FBI to release documents. Also, 177 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: US attorneys to release documents that show their internal decisions 178 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: about whether to prosecute, whether to indict, whether to investigate people, 179 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: and they haven't released any of those documents. Now, if 180 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: they released that document for Leslie Wexner, maybe it would 181 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: exonerate him. But I would like to see that document 182 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: for the two thousand and eight case where they gave 183 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein such a light sentence for what was what 184 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 3: they could have thrown the book at him for in 185 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: a you know, in the sexual assaults that he committed 186 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 3: back then. Of course, the light sentence allowed him to 187 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: go free and you know, rubbed shoulders with all the 188 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: rich and powerful people become a fixer for them, for 189 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: people like Ahud Brock, who was formerly Prime Minister of 190 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: Israel and Defense Minister when he was hanging out with Epstein, 191 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: and it allowed Epstein, unfortunately, to recommit crimes, sexual crimes 192 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: and sex trafficking. 193 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're familiar with man named Peter 194 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: Shin or Nick Bryant there behind the Epstein Justice dot com. 195 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 2: I had Peter Shin on last night talking about specifically 196 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: Less Wexner and the fact that the Senate actually called 197 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: him and said, well, we'd like you to testify, and 198 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: they basically were forced instead of making Les Wexner come 199 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: to Washington, they were coming to Ohio to do that. 200 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: Have you heard anything about that. 201 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: I've never heard of such a thing. The version he 202 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: probably knows better than me, but the version I heard 203 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 3: was that they were going to allow him to testify 204 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: via zoom or something unless somebody's in prison, you know, 205 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 3: as was the case with Julane Maxwell recently in the 206 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: Oversight Committee, and she, by the way, plaid the fifth 207 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: I have never heard of that situation. Now, maybe he's 208 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: elderly and can't travel. I don't know what the reasoning 209 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 3: was to allow him that special privilege. 210 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: All right, Well, I want to get into something with you, 211 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 2: and I don't know how to approach it, so I'll 212 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 2: just say it, Thomas, jump in whatever it is. This 213 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: primary battle that you're going to face in Kentucky for 214 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: the seat against a man named ed Gal Ryan Nutt 215 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: I've never heard of before. I guess he's from Shelbyville 216 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: and he is President Trump's hand picked primary opponent because 217 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: of your famous I don't know ted a tet with 218 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump over the Big Beautiful Bill and other things 219 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: that you have not voted for, and President Trump has 220 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: kind of put a target on your back. And all 221 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: of the allegations that have been made against you and 222 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: now have been made against Gal Rhind the back and forth. 223 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: You know, it's politics as usual. It seems like with 224 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: all the slam ads that are I guess put on 225 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: by packs or ads that you said you endorsed. Where 226 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: we add on that, I mean, does there is it 227 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: necessarily the right thing to have all this mudslinging again, 228 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: the back and forth. I mean, they've accused you of things, 229 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: and you have said that ed Galrne is not the 230 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: conservative a freedom fighter that he claims to be under 231 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: the auspice of being endorsed by President Trump. What's going on? 232 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: Well, listen, First of all, you should have him on 233 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 3: your show. I fully endorse that, and I know you would, 234 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: so invite I call him woke Eddie. Invite Woke Eddie 235 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: on your show and asking some questions, ask him if 236 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: the allegations are true. I'm I had mud slung at 237 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 3: me for thirteen years because I go up to DC 238 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: and I call out the swamp every day, which puts 239 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: a target on my back. So I don't mind it. 240 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: They can say whatever they want about me. They'll try 241 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: to distort my record, my voting record. The problem is 242 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: I will come on your show and explain any vote 243 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: that I've taken, and I explained media as well, So 244 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: that's that doesn't bother me at all. 245 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 5: Now you know. 246 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: Again, he should be able to come on the show 247 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: and refute these accusations that we are making in TV ads, 248 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: and I do endorse them because people need to know that. 249 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: Later in life, he joined a company. He was a 250 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: chair of this company. He was an executive coach, and 251 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 3: this company taught individuals and employees at corporations how to 252 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 3: be woke that every white person is inherently racist. These 253 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 3: are the things that they teach to right on their website, 254 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,479 Speaker 3: the documents, the files that they use to teach these classes. 255 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: By the way, they've taken them all down, and these 256 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: guys taken down in January. The problem is the Internet 257 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: archives this stuff, and we did too, and you know, 258 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: they took down his resume from their website. They took 259 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: down the training files about the EI and Black Lives Matter, 260 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: but we caught him and the fact that they're deleting 261 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 3: these file shows that he feels guilty about it. And 262 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 3: I think people should know that because these are things 263 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: we vote on in Washington, DC, and I have voted 264 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: you know, against transgender surgeries. 265 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: For kidssed of voting for it. 266 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck with that. That And again that stems 267 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: from my vote against the big beautiful bill right where 268 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: it raised spending. It's going to bankrupt our country. People 269 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: are going to find out when the inflation hits. But 270 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: what they stuck in there, which never made it to 271 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: the final bill, and I knew it wasn't going to 272 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 3: but was to defund transgender surgeries. And by the way, 273 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 3: I have voted for that previously and voted for it subsequently. 274 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 3: But they stick little things like that in there and 275 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: a bill that has nothing to do with that, to 276 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 3: try and put people like myself in a situation and 277 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: to force you to vote for more spending. And I 278 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: won't do it. And I've said we need to have 279 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: single subject bills, and every time they bring it up 280 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 3: as a single subject I have voted the conservative way. 281 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I'll never forget a conversation we 282 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: had years ago where you introduced the you said you 283 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: had you were going to Washington with two dough tags, 284 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 2: one to get rid of the Department of Education, one 285 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: to get rid of the Department of Energy. And you 286 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: you told me the entire text of a bill you 287 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 2: had introduced that never got passed. But it was just 288 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: a single sentence, the Department of Education will cease to 289 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: exist January December thirty first of such and such a year. 290 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: And I love that. That's what we have to get 291 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 2: back to single subject bills without all of the other 292 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: window dressing to muddy the waters. 293 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 3: Thomas, it's my bill as clear as day. You can't 294 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: say you didn't read it. It's one sentence. If you 295 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: read the title you. 296 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 4: Read the bill. 297 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: And it's HR eight ninety nine. If people want to 298 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 3: go look it up on a website, and it's HR 299 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: eight ninety nine. Because the first year I introduced it, 300 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 3: I randomly got eight ninety nine. I was the next 301 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 3: bill after eight ninety eight, and I have subsequently waited 302 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: until HR eight ninety nine comes up every Congress, and 303 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 3: then that's when I reintroduced the bill. There's some bills 304 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 3: so important that you try to retain the HR number. 305 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 3: One of those is also HR twenty four. It's auditing 306 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve. I introduced that on the first day 307 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: of every Congress. But HR eight ninety nine is to 308 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: terminate the Department of Education, and I've introduced it again. 309 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 3: And it's not that I'm anti education, and I'm not 310 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 3: anti public education. I went to public schools in Kentucky 311 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 3: from kindergarten to the twelfth grade, and so did my 312 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: four children, and so did my late wife, and we 313 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: have some great teachers. I mean, made an impact on 314 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: me for life in public schools. But the problem is 315 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 3: the Department of Education didn't exist untell the I was 316 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 3: in the fourth grade, and we don't I don't want 317 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: to out your age and ask you. 318 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: Well, no, I I'll tell you exactly. I graduated high 319 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: school in nineteen seventy nine.

That was a birth of Beatlemania in America. 359 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 5: And before the performance, the Beatles manager of Brian Epstein 360 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 5: told Ed Sullivan, I would like to know the exact 361 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: wording of your introduction. Ed Sullivan replied, I would like 362 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 5: you to get lost. And George Rison had a strip throat, 363 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 5: but he's still went on, he still performed, and that 364 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 5: was the birth of Beatlemania and that state at number 365 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 5: one for seven consecutive weeks. 366 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 2: Yep. And another one of those number ones that followed 367 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: was also on that show. 368 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, and It was number one for two weeks. That 369 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 5: followed for seven weeks. If I Want to hold your 370 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 5: hand now, John and Paul wrote this in the basement 371 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 5: at his girlfriend's house, Jane Asher. Inspired by it the 372 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 5: Bobby ry Dell hit Forget Him, and they'd be thinking 373 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 5: about an answer song originally, and then then they changed 374 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 5: the revettle bit, and of course the popularized that phrase 375 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 5: yeah yeah yeah, even though Paul's dad, Paul's dad was 376 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 5: very insistent to you he wanted them to sing yes, yes, 377 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 5: yes instead because he thought it sounded more dignified, but 378 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 5: the boys didn't go along with him, thank goodness. And 379 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 5: this I believe is the most identifiable of all those 380 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 5: early Beatles songs. And when they did it on The 381 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 5: Sullivan Show, they superimposed like Paul's name and George's name 382 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 5: in the ringo, but under John they said, sorry, girls, 383 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 5: he's married. Well, this is I believe the most identifiable 384 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: of all those early Beatles songs. Yeah yeah, yeah the Beatles. 385 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 5: She loves you, she loves. 386 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 3: You, thank you last na. 387 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 11: Well yes today did you She's think you know? 388 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 9: And he dold me what to say. 389 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 8: She said, you and you know that. 390 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: Can be back that you love you, and you know 391 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be. 392 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 3: You said, you let. 393 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 11: She all knows that summer now, she said, she knows 394 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 11: you're not she said, and you know that he hand 395 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 11: be back. 396 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 8: Yes she loves you, and. 397 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: Yes love is in the air and on the air 398 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 2: on Rock and Roll Archaeology this week on seven hundred 399 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: w l W from the movie I Believe It was 400 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 2: Blue Hawaii, the first of our love songs.

I peaked at number two behind Joey Diana 406 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 5: Starlighters of pepmin Twist, one of the greatest love songs 407 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 5: of all time, a song the movie producers didn't want, 408 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 5: Colonel Tom Parker didn't want in the movie, and Elvis insisted. 409 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 5: It was at Elvis's insistence that this song was in 410 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 5: the movie. And ironically, this perfect love song isn't sung 411 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 5: to his girlfriend in the movie Blue of Why It Is. 412 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 5: He sings this to her grandmother on her birthday, and 413 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 5: in the scene Elvis presents her with a music box 414 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 5: and when she opens it, the song plays and Alvis 415 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 5: sings and it became his signature song during that second 416 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 5: part of his career and the last song that Elvis 417 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 5: ever sang in concert live. And it can't help falling 418 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 5: in love? 419 00:26:32,800 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: What alyto? But falling shall stay?

So love in the spotlight 427 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 2: on this rock and roll archaeology. And up next to 428 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 2: the song that Paul McCartney said his favorite song of 429 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: all time, Jim. 430 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson put this together unique 431 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 5: instrumentation French horns, sleigh bells, accordion on it. Brian said 432 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 5: that this song, this baroque pop song, came from God 433 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 5: through him and he did this. He wrote the song 434 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 5: in about forty five minutes and he had his brother 435 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 5: Carl nineteen years old at time, sing lead because he 436 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 5: wanted the tender and sweet sound. And this is the 437 00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 5: B side, wouldn't it be? 438 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: So? 439 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 5: It's kind to toss away song, and it took years 440 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 5: for this to really catch on. Incredible three part vocal harmony, 441 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 5: and as you mentioned, Paul McCartney often calls this his 442 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 5: favorite song and reduced him. He said, the first time 443 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 5: you heard it, it reduced him to tears. And now 444 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 5: while it is a love song, it reflects a deeper, 445 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 5: spiritual and almost universal consciousness rather than just a single 446 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 5: love song. And the song we're talking about is the 447 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 5: Beach Boys, but Carl Wilson singing lead, and God only. 448 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: Knows to my Valentine Christ the two point zero. 449 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 13: I may not always love you, but lo there love you. 450 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 8: Every d. 451 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: I'll make you so sure about it. 452 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 13: God only knows what I believe with that give you 453 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 13: should have you leave me, you'll like to go.

God knows what I 464 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: be with. 465 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 9: Knows what I mean, generally knows what I means. 466 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: I. 467 00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 8: Knows. 468 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 2: From the layered harmonies of the Beat Boys to the 469 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: incredible vocal performance by Bobby Hatfield, rock and roll archaeology 470 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: continues with love Jim Lebarbara talk about this last one? 471 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: All right? 472 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 5: You know what, Kry Jeff. Both guys won the sing 473 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 5: lead on this song. Bobby had Bobby Hatfield won it, 474 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 5: and Bill Medley won it. So they did a toin 475 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 5: coss and Bobby Haffield won. Now, Bobby knew the song 476 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 5: because he was a big fan of Roy Hamilton and 477 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 5: Al Hibler. He knew the versions that they did this 478 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 5: song and this was a big hit. But Phil Spector, 479 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 5: to him, it was an album filler. As a matter 480 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 5: of fact, he didn't even produce this song. Phil Spector 481 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 5: in the studio would produced what he thought with the singles, 482 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 5: and then the filler said that somebody else could produce, 483 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 5: and in this case, Bill Medley had produced their early 484 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 5: records on another label like a Little Latin Loop de Loup, 485 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 5: so Bill produced. Bill Meley produced the record, although later 486 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 5: Phil Spector took credit for it. And this was the 487 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 5: B side because the E side was hung on you, 488 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 5: and Phil was not happy about this, Jock, He's. 489 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 4: Flipping them over. 490 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 5: But we did. And the famous climax of this song 491 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 5: is where Bobby sings that Hi, I need your love line, 492 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 5: which wasn't how the song was written. Bobby Hadfield did 493 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 5: a couple of takes of the song thing styles Roy Hamilton, 494 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 5: and they left and Bill Medie said he then reconsidered 495 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 5: what he did and he come back, and so he 496 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 5: later came back into the studio and on this track, 497 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 5: he said, can you do something? Can I do something else? 498 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 5: And they said okay Bill. Bill said all right, And 499 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 5: it was tough because there's a maximum of four tracks 500 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 5: to work with and you have to record over the 501 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 5: original take, and Medley accommodated him, and Hatfield delivered that 502 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 5: soaring vocal line and Medley said, I punched that in 503 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 5: and he left and then he came back and said Bill, 504 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 5: I can do it better, and Bobby Bobby and Bill 505 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 5: said Bobby, no, no, no, you can't send He laughed 506 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 5: and he thought, he told me, he says a big 507 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 5: part of that song is that that that PONSETI end 508 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 5: and Bill Medley played the worlds of piano on the song, 509 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 5: and later he said, if I knew that it was 510 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 5: going to be a big hit, I certainly would have 511 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 5: brought in a better piano player, and the song it 512 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 5: became a hit in nineteen sixty five and then again 513 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 5: with a Demi Moore Patrick Swayzey movie and Ghost came 514 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 5: back again one of the greatest love songs of all 515 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 5: time Bobby Hatfield and Unchain melody Whoo. 516 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: Mo O good more you touch. 517 00:34:45,080 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 8: Hello, Oh spa so slowly. 518 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 15: And time. 519 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 10: Can do so much? 520 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 8: All you still more. 521 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 10: Your love, need your love, y'all Speak your love to me, 522 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 10: No ne Ben Snow to the safe, to the same, 523 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 10: to the open arms of the sea, only re side. 524 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 10: Wait for me, Wait for me.

She was right there in the heart 535 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 2: of it all. And as we approach our two hundred 536 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:16,439 Speaker 2: and fiftieth birthday as a country, there are seemingly some 537 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 2: Democrat states that are trying to go the way of 538 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: the secessionists in eighteen sixty or maybe even worse. It's 539 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 2: been a long slog of the infiltration of communism, what 540 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 2: I call communism, and a lack of constitutional adherents. And 541 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 2: I believe our guest agrees with me to kind of 542 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 2: further define that. Johannah Newman, Welcome to the Nightcap. How 543 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 2: are you? 544 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 15: Thanks? 545 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 2: So are you seeing especially these Democrat states, especially in 546 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 2: relation to how they're treating federal law and federal law 547 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,879 Speaker 2: enforcement like their irrelevant? 548 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 3: Uh? 549 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 2: And this is happening, you know. We've seen it in Minnesota, 550 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 2: We've seen it in California, in New York, in Illinois, 551 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: in these other Democrat dominated states, these one party states 552 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 2: where they're ignoring the Constitution, they're ignoring the supremacy clause, 553 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 2: and they're ignoring federal law. What is there? What is 554 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 2: their their the means to their what's the end? What 555 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 2: do they want to do? Johanna? 556 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 15: You know, I think there's no question they are openly 557 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 15: defying the federal government. These sanctuary states and cities are 558 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 15: saying we won't enforce immigration law. And I always feel 559 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 15: like saying, if you want to change the law, then 560 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 15: put down your bullhorn and call Congress, because Congress is 561 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 15: this is the law that Congress pass that's on the 562 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 15: books that ICE isn't forcing. And I noticed within the 563 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 15: last few days a number of top Democrats like Obama 564 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 15: and Clint Hillary Clinton have walked back and said things 565 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 15: like we went too far on immigration. So it tells 566 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 15: me that maybe public opinion is beginning to to reassert 567 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 15: some sanity. 568 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 4: But I. 569 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 15: Do share your concern that we are on the cusp 570 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 15: of eighteen sixty. Again, this is precisely what the Southern 571 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 15: states did and seceeding when Lincoln was elected. They said no, 572 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 15: we're not gonna We're not going to obey the federal law. 573 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 15: So and that you know, there are some das in 574 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:08,240 Speaker 15: Phila and California who are considering criminal charges against ICE agents. 575 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 15: Illinois just passed a law letting citizens sue ICE agents. 576 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 15: Of course, the left is dosing them making and you know, 577 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 15: intruding in their enforcement of the law. So I think 578 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 15: it's pretty clear that there is defiance going on. I 579 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,879 Speaker 15: hope it doesn't rise to the level of civil war. 580 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 2: Well, when we're talking, Johanna about the Constitution, these states 581 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 2: would claim the same thing that slave states claimed back 582 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 2: then that this is about the tenth Amendment and states rights. 583 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 2: What's our answer to that. 584 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 15: In fact, philadela and Minnesota has actually filed a tenth 585 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 15: Amendment lawsuit against the federal government over ice. I think 586 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 15: we stand on a tenth Amendment. This is enumerated in 587 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 15: the Constitution as a federal powner. And you know, I 588 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 15: don't see why we need to go beyond them. 589 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 2: Right again, I get you there. The other thing that 590 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about with you, particularly about the 591 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 2: Constitution and the canceling of our founders that we saw 592 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 2: for the last you know, really eight to nine years, 593 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 2: in particular, with the calling of our founders criminals and racists, 594 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 2: and the tearing down of statues, the defiling of even 595 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln in our culture by these radical the radical 596 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 2: fringe left in this country. To me, this is like 597 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 2: part of a one hundred year plan that started way 598 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 2: back when and under the likes of Woodrow Wilson, to 599 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 2: eliminate our constitutional system and go to basic Marxism and 600 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 2: socialism and ultimately communism. Yes or no. 601 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 15: And I'm so glad you raised this because I see 602 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 15: signs of it all the time. The left trying to 603 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 15: erase are you could even see the whole immigration argument 604 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 15: is about sovereignty, and so are the Founders there? You're right, 605 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 15: they have been under attack for one hundred years. There 606 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 15: were these two famous historians, a husband and wife team 607 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 15: named Beard, who wrote in nineteen twenty seven that the 608 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 15: Founders were not interested in the liberty. That's not why 609 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 15: they rebelled against the king. They were interested an economic power, 610 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 15: and so they got just with that economic frame. And 611 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 15: then later in the century, of course, people tore down 612 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 15: the Founders as being racist or misogynists. You know, I 613 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 15: believe that the words Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration 614 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 15: of Independence are our greatest legacy. They are enlightenment and 615 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:37,760 Speaker 15: Christian principles. That all are created equal, that all rights 616 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 15: come not from man and some senators might have you believe, 617 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 15: but from the Creator. And finally, that the government cannot 618 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 15: exist except by the consent of the governed. Those are 619 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 15: precious legacies we have from them and canceling them. You know, 620 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 15: I noticed the other day Jeff, I mean Jerry, so. 621 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 2: You can call you can call me either one, okay, 622 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 2: are you both? I am? I'm both. 623 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 15: I noticed the other day that we celebrated President's Day, 624 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 15: but in fact that used to be George Washington Day. 625 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 15: It used to be George Washington's birthday. 626 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, I made the point of this, Johannah. There used 627 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 2: to be national holidays for both Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, 628 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 2: but they combine them into this, you know, general President's Day, 629 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,280 Speaker 2: and it takes away the significance of our first our founding, 630 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 2: first president, our great leader, who was brave enough to 631 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 2: not only lead troops against the British and defeat the king, 632 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 2: the troops of King George, but also, you know, reluctantly 633 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 2: became the first president. He didn't really want that, but 634 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 2: there was no one else I mean in that way. 635 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 2: And this is not to take a politically partisan sider. 636 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 2: I mean, there've been other presidents who were almost George 637 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 2: Washington in my opinion, but no one, no one ever 638 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: is going to be compared favorably to George Washington so 639 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 2: far in our in our LINEAGEIP presidents. The only thing 640 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 2: that I would point to you right now, there is 641 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: no one else like Donald Trump as far as taking 642 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 2: the reigns of leadership in this country the way he has. 643 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 15: No And I think there will be a mighty fight 644 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 15: over this during on the celebration of our two hundred 645 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 15: and fiftieth birthday, because, as we mentioned before, half the 646 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 15: country or I don't know if they're half, do you 647 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 15: think they're really half? But a lot of left wing 648 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 15: opinion makers are sort of treating seventeen seventy six like 649 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 15: it's a crime scene and they're looking for six falls. 650 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 15: I saw a little story out of Nebraska, of all 651 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 15: places where a state there was an exhibit up on 652 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 15: the walls about the two hundred and fiftieth birthday about 653 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 15: the founders and some of the prominent people who came 654 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 15: after them, and a state legislator in Lincoln, Nebraska took 655 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 15: it upon herself to take the photos and the text 656 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 15: off the wall, and she of course caught on security 657 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 15: camera and she had the smirk on her face. So 658 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 15: and I think, and of course President Trump is planning 659 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 15: a huge He has a whole task force planning two 660 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 15: fifty there's going to be all the things he would imagine, 661 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,479 Speaker 15: all ships and the celebrations at Philadelphia Hall, a ball 662 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:12,479 Speaker 15: drop on Times Square. And he's also proposing an arch 663 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 15: like the archty trio from Paris for Washington, DC, because 664 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 15: of course he is in his soul, he is a builder. 665 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 15: But I think that there will be people celebrating this 666 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 15: martinous achievement. We are the oldest constitutional republic in the world, 667 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 15: and George Washington gentis defeat the British Army. He defeated 668 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 15: the strongest, biggest, mightiest military force in the world. And 669 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 15: there is There are a number of people, some of 670 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 15: the Founders included, who who attribute this to divine providence. 671 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 15: The gods were looking after. 672 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 2: Oh much in the way that Donald Trump, who's not 673 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 2: necessarily been known historically as a man of faith or 674 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 2: a very religious person, he even acknowledged that God saved 675 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 2: him for this moment on that stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, 676 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 2: and the other times that the other side has tried 677 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,959 Speaker 2: to either kinetically violently take him out, or kill him 678 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 2: or law fare him out of existence. Donald Trump is 679 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 2: rightly or wrongly, And I'm a firm believer. I'm a 680 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 2: Christian and I have faith in Jesus Christ. But I 681 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 2: believe that God has preserved Donald Trump for this moment 682 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,479 Speaker 2: now because we need someone who is unafraid and who 683 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 2: will stand by the principles of our founders especially heading 684 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 2: towards two fifty. 685 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 15: I think you're absolutely right. I think he is, how 686 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 15: would you say it? The president we needed. And I 687 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 15: have written a new book called Trump's Superpower. 688 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 2: What's the title of the book again, I kind of got. 689 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 3: Lost Trump Superpower, Superpower, Okay. 690 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,399 Speaker 15: It's a novel. I bring the Founding fathers down from 691 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 15: heaven and one Founding mother by the way, and they're 692 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 15: here for our two hundred and fiftieth birthday, and they 693 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:44,439 Speaker 15: have marvelous encounters with twenty first century Americans. They Ben 694 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 15: Franklin is arrested for misgendering someone, you know, Alexander Hamilton 695 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 15: gets to dance at the White House with his main crush, Milania. 696 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 15: So they have these wonderful encounters, and they also have 697 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,720 Speaker 15: a very serious discussion throughout the whole book about whether 698 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 15: this is the country they meant to leave us. And 699 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 15: the reason I call that Trump's Superpower is I believe 700 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:23,280 Speaker 15: that President Trump understands that to make America great again, 701 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 15: he also has to rescue the Founders and restore the 702 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 15: Founding and that I think is why he's making such 703 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 15: a momentous celebration out of the two fifty. And I 704 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 15: noticed The New York Times had an article the other 705 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 15: day about complaining that Trump had the administration had asked 706 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 15: foreign embassies to fundraise in their countries of residents to 707 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 15: make sure the magi. The two fifty celebrations were big 708 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 15: and boisterous and you know, really over the top. And 709 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 15: so now apparently they're trying to outdo one another, which 710 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 15: country can put on the biggest birthday party for America. 711 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 15: But I think it's also trying to celebrate what this 712 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 15: country means to the world. 713 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, you know. John Adams, speaking of the founders, 714 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 2: said that this anniversary of July fourth should be celebrated 715 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 2: with music, with great peasantry, with fireworks, all of the 716 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 2: things that we do, at least those of us who 717 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 2: who observe our nation's independence and the celebration that it 718 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 2: is and should be that we do on a regular basis. 719 00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,919 Speaker 2: But this is going to be like one hundred times that, 720 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 2: and it should. 721 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 3: Be, you know. 722 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 15: And Adams, I read that passage that he wrote, and 723 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 15: I read elsewhere that they didn't just celebrate on in 724 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 15: July of seventeen seventy six, they celebrated all year. That 725 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 15: it was so unbelievable that this little band of rebels 726 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 15: had defeated this mighty world power. There was a great 727 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 15: wellspring of celebration, and I think I think Donald Trump 728 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,479 Speaker 15: wants to restore that to us, that it used to be. 729 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 15: The flag was a symbol of patriotism and pride, something 730 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,240 Speaker 15: we all shared. When I was a little girl, my father, 731 00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 15: who was the child of immigrants to this country, but 732 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,440 Speaker 15: he was so proud to be an American that on 733 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 15: July one and my sister and I would sort of 734 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 15: cringe in the background, but he always walked up to 735 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:15,840 Speaker 15: strangers and say happy Birthday, and most of them looked 736 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 15: at him askance. But it is our birthday and it 737 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 15: would be wonderful. It's something we could all celebrate. 738 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 2: I don't know why. I guess I was raised correctly, 739 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 2: but I remember a particular Fourth of July, and I 740 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 2: don't even remember where we were living at the time, 741 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:40,360 Speaker 2: but my parents took us out to watch fireworks, and 742 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,720 Speaker 2: no one told me that I was supposed to be reverent, 743 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,879 Speaker 2: that it was a fantastic celebration, and that we were 744 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 2: in a special place. But I remember, just watching the 745 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 2: fireworks that night, tears came to my eyes. I'm ten 746 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 2: years old, and tears didn't into my eyes because I 747 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,880 Speaker 2: was scared or I just felt this amazing wave of 748 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 2: patriotism come over me on that particular fourth of July 749 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 2: and it's stuck in my head ever since, and I 750 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:19,280 Speaker 2: still have that same kind of fervor for this country. 751 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 2: And I believe it's the greatest experiment ever in world 752 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 2: history of human history. 753 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more. 754 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 16: And I know I. 755 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 15: Wrote recently that I have a blog on sub stack 756 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 15: that's called make or Well fiction again, And I wrote 757 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 15: recently that what was really offensive about the Bad Bunny 758 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:55,200 Speaker 15: performance at the Super Bowl halftime was not so much 759 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 15: the lyrics, which, if you read the English translation, very 760 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 15: very off colors, but what he did with the American flag, 761 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 15: because he made it. It was a backdrop behind him 762 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:18,399 Speaker 15: of all the flags of the Americans from Canada to Argentina. Yes, 763 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 15: and it was sort of a way of saying, and 764 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 15: not to settle, really. 765 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 16: That that we're all America, dow, and I guess I 766 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,840 Speaker 16: recoil at any effort to erase us. 767 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:35,759 Speaker 1: Yes. 768 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 2: And it's you know what, Johanna, It's back to the 769 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 2: sovereignty issue. And if you don't have borders you don't 770 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 2: have a country, and if you don't have sovereignty, you 771 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 2: don't have what the founders and envisioned. Listen. I could 772 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 2: go on like this all night, but unfortunately our time's up. 773 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,720 Speaker 2: But I thank you so much for yours tonight.

We still 843 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 2: don't know what it is and if Nancy's still alive. 844 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,440 Speaker 2: But you say, you're you're fairly close to where all 845 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,880 Speaker 2: of that happened, right, Yeah. 846 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 4: The place that we're staying, I think we're literally four. 847 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 12: Miles five miles away from where she's located, and uh, 848 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 12: well where her house is located. 849 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can't you can't even drive up there. 850 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 12: They finally have kind of sealed off because I guess 851 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 12: we're two miles down the road. They were looking at 852 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 12: a at a house. So if you go up there 853 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 12: now you you wouldn't get a chance to get to 854 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 12: the area. But it's just to me, how were all 855 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 12: the people allowed to go there in the beginning when 856 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 12: it was the most important time of the investigation, and apparently, 857 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 12: you know, people were just showing up there. They were 858 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 12: leaving flowers. Obviously we're all concerned about me. 859 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:53,000 Speaker 2: They've been delivering pizzas to her house for the media 860 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 2: or law enforcement or whatever that was working. 861 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 12: Right, Gary, I'm like, well, I hope I pray to 862 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 12: God that they financy. 863 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 4: But let's be honest, you know, I. 864 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,680 Speaker 12: Think most people think at this particular time, you know, 865 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:12,440 Speaker 12: we're just hoping to find whoever did this, because basically 866 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 12: we're probably at a point where. 867 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 2: This is not this is not a rescue. This is 868 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 2: not a rescue. This is a recovery, is what we're saying, 869 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 2: basically exactly. And you know what you were talking about 870 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,440 Speaker 2: being so close, but you haven't found time or really 871 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 2: wanted to track up there. What is the fascination people 872 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 2: have unless you're in media or and you have to 873 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 2: cover the case, as god, we've had around the clock 874 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,880 Speaker 2: coverage now for the last couple of weeks, or your 875 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 2: law enforcement and it is your job to find out 876 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 2: exactly what happened. Why else would you go up there 877 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,920 Speaker 2: if you're just a citizen, I mean, stay out of 878 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 2: the way. People have a morbid fascination with this, and 879 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 2: it becomes some kind of a weird tourist attraction. For 880 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 2: some reason. And you were telling me that where you 881 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 2: live in California, you're not far from where the Manson 882 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 2: ranch was, all right. 883 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 12: The old Spawn ranch, which is no longer.

It was a small, 1104 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,720 Speaker 12: beautiful place, but we got to see a Lambeufield Monday night. 1105 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,880 Speaker 12: These are some of the things that Andrew Ashwood did 1106 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,679 Speaker 12: at his own cost for people that he cared about. 1107 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 12: He cared about so many different people and was by 1108 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 12: far one of the coolest bosses.

But you know, the main entrede, the 1165 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 2: thing that I really am interested in cutting into and 1166 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 2: masticating over. I saved that for the very last bite. 1167 01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:34,880 Speaker 2: So you are the last bite. You were. You were 1168 01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 2: something that I've been I've been waiting, I've been saving, 1169 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:39,720 Speaker 2: savoring your conversation. 1170 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,600 Speaker 19: I'm waiting now I'm sitting Really, I want to know 1171 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 19: what the surprise is. 1172 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 2: Well, it's the surprise is, and it's not that big 1173 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,679 Speaker 2: a surprise. It's a guy that you worked with when 1174 01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:53,600 Speaker 2: you maybe first started at Fox Sports Radio. Eric Peterson 1175 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 2: was just on and it had lots of great Andy 1176 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,600 Speaker 2: Furman stories, but he said he couldn't tell any of 1177 01:18:58,600 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 2: them on the air. 1178 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,719 Speaker 19: So, oh well, why is that when people ask about 1179 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:04,280 Speaker 19: Andy from the story as they say that they're all 1180 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 19: like X rated. I don't get it. No, I'm not 1181 01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 19: that silky. I'm really not. 1182 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 2: No, he didn't say X rayed. He just said he 1183 01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,600 Speaker 2: couldn't tell any of them on the air. Because you 1184 01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,519 Speaker 2: happen to be a very litigious person. And if he 1185 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 2: defamed you in some way, or you thought he'd defamed you, 1186 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,600 Speaker 2: you'll probably bring in a lawsuit. You'd probably have to 1187 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 2: have a lawyer go to California and serve him with papers. 1188 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,479 Speaker 19: I was sure I would, you know, want on my 1189 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 19: speed dog. All right to Bill Cunningham, No. 1190 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:34,479 Speaker 2: Doubt does still still handle those kind of cases. 1191 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:36,759 Speaker 19: He would do it for me. You know, he closed 1192 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 19: my first house, my first home when I bought years 1193 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,120 Speaker 19: ago with my wife. I had no idea what to 1194 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:43,639 Speaker 19: do at a home. 1195 01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:44,240 Speaker 5: He does. 1196 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 19: Don't worry, I'll take care of But he came over 1197 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,840 Speaker 19: the house, he did the closing for us. He was 1198 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 19: the best. 1199 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 2: Well, that's wonderful. And he you know, it's seventy eight. 1200 01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 2: It's a little bit too he's a little bit too 1201 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,320 Speaker 2: old to be chasing ambulances still, but I would imagine 1202 01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,840 Speaker 2: he probably it is young. 1203 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:02,439 Speaker 19: Are you ready? I got some material for you. I 1204 01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 19: actually prepare for your show. And you know, I'm watching 1205 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 19: the Olympics, and I really do love the Olympics. 1206 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:07,840 Speaker 4: I love the events. 1207 01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:09,800 Speaker 19: I see what's going on to shame that the US 1208 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 19: of A is like really being killed by Norway. 1209 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,320 Speaker 4: Norway is like bombarding them with medals. 1210 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,360 Speaker 19: I mean the US of A is I tied the third, 1211 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,559 Speaker 19: I believe with Italy. So I mean, maybe we're not 1212 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 19: just they're winners. 1213 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 2: They're winter sports, you know, and the real story here. 1214 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 19: You know, we have a big population base here, the 1215 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,720 Speaker 19: real I think people is helpful and not ready to 1216 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 19: dedicate themselves to go out there in practice. Maybe I 1217 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 19: just don't know. 1218 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,679 Speaker 2: Well, the Olympics, the fixed should be in for Italy 1219 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 2: since they're being held in Milan, I mean, shouldn't they. 1220 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 2: I mean Italy should be leading the way. Not normal. 1221 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 19: Look, I mean I'm looking at the metal standings and 1222 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,040 Speaker 19: the US off as type the third. But Canada, you 1223 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,040 Speaker 19: would be Canada would do well and then win. The 1224 01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 19: games are like seventeenth with medals. So I mean, if 1225 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 19: everything is kind of backwards is. Switzerland's doing very well, 1226 01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,840 Speaker 19: so the smaller populated countries maybe it needs more of 1227 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:57,599 Speaker 19: them to win it a little bit metal than people. 1228 01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 19: And the youngsters in the US of A they'd rather 1229 01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,680 Speaker 19: get an il money in college. I don't know. Well, 1230 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,680 Speaker 19: I can't answer that, but it certainly it puts a 1231 01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:04,639 Speaker 19: cloud over the picture. 1232 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 2: Canada is a large land mass, but it's. 1233 01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 19: Not it's the fifty first day. 1234 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 2: What do you mean it's not. It's not a heavily 1235 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,719 Speaker 2: populated place. I mean there's what about thirty million people 1236 01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,240 Speaker 2: in Canada and all that space. 1237 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 19: Well, there's a little less up because my wife is 1238 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 19: from Canadas.

So they're asking him political questions. They baited 1267 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,519 Speaker 19: him to media, actually baited this guy. I played his 1268 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 19: sound Sunday morning on Fox Sports Radio A serious X 1269 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,760 Speaker 19: in eighty three, thirteen sixty AM on Sunday. But I 1270 01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 19: played it, and I'm questioning my partner, Bucky Brooks say, say, 1271 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 19: I'm not so certain that's the right question to ask. 1272 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:51,719 Speaker 19: I understand athletes use that stage to kind of spew 1273 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:54,040 Speaker 19: their interest. Lebron James has done it for years. I 1274 01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 19: don't really have a problem with that because you could 1275 01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 19: do some good. I'm reaching a lot of people doing that. 1276 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,559 Speaker 19: But for the media to eight these guys on what 1277 01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 19: the country is, what the country stands for? Talk about 1278 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 19: your background, and I love to find out how you 1279 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 19: got involve with curling, which is not really on the 1280 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 19: top ten list of American favorite sports. 1281 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 2: Really, Andy, you and I have talked about this. I 1282 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 2: think we talked about it last week. There's absolutely zero 1283 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 2: reason that athletes should be asked by the media anything 1284 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:24,919 Speaker 2: political or anything. 1285 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 19: Only the US athletes are as though, I know exactly. 1286 01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:32,160 Speaker 2: And it's all because of the get Trump syndrome that 1287 01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,840 Speaker 2: exists in the media. That's all it's about. It's all 1288 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 2: about Donald Trump. Yes it is, Andy, it's all about President. 1289 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 19: Maybe it is, maybe it's not. I don't like it. 1290 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 19: I think it's ridiculous. I want to know a little 1291 01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,639 Speaker 19: bit about this background at fifty four years of age. 1292 01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,200 Speaker 19: How did you even want to try out for the Olympic? That? 1293 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,280 Speaker 19: Those are the things I think the general public really 1294 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:51,479 Speaker 19: wants to hear, don't you think? 1295 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,679 Speaker 2: Well, I think that curling is a sport that women 1296 01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 2: should be more proficient. Ad since it involves a broom, don't. 1297 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,720 Speaker 19: You had to set the stream up? And that's what 1298 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:03,200 Speaker 19: we've got to move on from that? Really? 1299 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:03,600 Speaker 4: All right? 1300 01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,599 Speaker 19: The big story in our town right now, as far 1301 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 19: as sports are concerned, not UC, non Zavier, not ANKU, 1302 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:14,839 Speaker 19: not Thomas Moore, Mount Saint Joe, Miami of Ohio, Miami University, 1303 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:19,520 Speaker 19: not Miami of Ohio. But every publication has Miami parenthesis Ohio. 1304 01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,799 Speaker 19: This University of Miami's in Florida and Coral Gables. Miami 1305 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,160 Speaker 19: University is in Oxford, Ohio. 1306 01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:24,639 Speaker 4: I agree. 1307 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,200 Speaker 2: I talked about this with Wildman last night, and he 1308 01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:30,679 Speaker 2: is you know what, You share an opinion with wild Man. 1309 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 2: You think it's ridiculous that they call it Miami of Ohio, 1310 01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 2: and you share an opinion with me because I do too. 1311 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 2: There's a reason they give. 1312 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:39,519 Speaker 19: That's what they call it. I mean, even I'm going 1313 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 19: way back when when Wayne Embry played for Miami of Ohio, 1314 01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,639 Speaker 19: and then you went introduce him in the starting lineups 1315 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,720 Speaker 19: and just starting from your starting contentus six foot eight 1316 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,479 Speaker 19: from Miami of Ohio, Wayne Embry. Okay, so that's what 1317 01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 19: they did. It's to be hard to change that. But 1318 01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 19: this team in basketball is twenty five and oh that 1319 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 19: the only unbeaten team in Division one basketball in the 1320 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 19: college ranks. Here's my question. They play in the Mid 1321 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 19: American Conference, the rankly now twenty second in the country, 1322 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,599 Speaker 19: and that conference only takes one t to the NTAA tournament. 1323 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,280 Speaker 19: Should they lose in that tournament, the conference tournament, do 1324 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 19: they still go or will they take two teams? That's 1325 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:15,040 Speaker 19: what makes a question. 1326 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,960 Speaker 2: Oh, they they gotcha, They've got you know, any andy, 1327 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 2: They've got to win out. They've got to win the 1328 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:26,320 Speaker 2: tournament because they're they are all these power conferences are 1329 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 2: going to get you know, five six seventies teams in there, 1330 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,400 Speaker 2: you know, and you know UC is not gonna go 1331 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,519 Speaker 2: unless they win their tournament. And and how how big 1332 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,599 Speaker 2: a how big a shot is that U see winning 1333 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 2: the Big twelve tournament. 1334 01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 19: Not Xavier, I'm starting for you see the next game. 1335 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 2: Xavier is not going unless they win their tournament. Uh so. 1336 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:54,719 Speaker 2: I mean, but in the SEC, you know, Vanderbilt's already 1337 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 2: in and and they've not completed their season. They're twenty 1338 01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:02,760 Speaker 2: one and four. Kentucky will probably get in unless. 1339 01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:04,879 Speaker 3: They really did Florida. 1340 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:06,840 Speaker 19: If you look at the rankings this week, I think 1341 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,719 Speaker 19: Kentucky was something like twenty second and I was twenty third. 1342 01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 19: And you know, Miami's run on their heels. I really 1343 01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 19: have me, I don't you know. I just think Miami 1344 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 19: finishes a twenty seven twenty eight O and they lose 1345 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 19: in the first round of the tournament. I think that's 1346 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,320 Speaker 19: a major question. If they get to the finals and lose, 1347 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 19: I still think they go. Maybe the conference will take 1348 01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 19: two teams. Maybe they will take two, and they'll look 1349 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 19: at another minor I call them minor conferences, a lesser conference, 1350 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 19: maybe like like the Mountain West, and I'll take maybe one. 1351 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:38,960 Speaker 19: Maybe they normally would take two if they have two 1352 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 19: good records. I don't know. I don't know what they 1353 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:42,760 Speaker 19: would do. I really don't know. 1354 01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,879 Speaker 2: Well, Kentucky, by the way, by the way, Andy, Kentucky 1355 01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,320 Speaker 2: was twenty fifth before they lost to Florida. They dropped 1356 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 2: out of the top twenty five. 1357 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 4: So they did. 1358 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:54,599 Speaker 2: So they let Kentucky into the NCAA tournament and they 1359 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 2: refuse Miami, and Miami's ranked in Kentucky's not how about 1360 01:26:58,680 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 2: that for. 1361 01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,759 Speaker 19: Anything, because basically it goes I think a strength of schedule. 1362 01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 19: Obviously Miami has not played anybody, and of strength that's 1363 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 19: not that full as the schedule they give us, schedule 1364 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 19: they play, you know, what could you do? So I 1365 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,320 Speaker 19: think this is a big story coming down the stretch. 1366 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,640 Speaker 19: And I think that some of those people who do 1367 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,639 Speaker 19: the voting and do the selection committee people they wouldn't 1368 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,400 Speaker 19: mind seeing Miami lose prior to the tournament. Well you 1369 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,880 Speaker 19: really wouldn't, No, his life a lot easier for them, 1370 01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 19: don't you think. 1371 01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:30,519 Speaker 2: Here's the thing, Andy, you talked about Miami's strength of schedule. 1372 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,639 Speaker 2: There are plenty of teams in the big conferences who 1373 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 2: had their record with teams from lesser conferences. But you 1374 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,960 Speaker 2: didn't see any of them calling Miami and saying after 1375 01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:47,760 Speaker 2: Miami's you know season last year, they had a good 1376 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,759 Speaker 2: season last year. You didn't see any of those teams 1377 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:55,639 Speaker 2: from the power conferences looking to schedule non conference game 1378 01:27:55,760 --> 01:28:00,600 Speaker 2: with Miami, did you, Because they're afraid teral that. 1379 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 19: He works now. 1380 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:04,600 Speaker 2: A team. 1381 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 19: You know what it is with the way the Sealer 1382 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:09,080 Speaker 19: chief Vid he is right now with the different levels 1383 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:13,160 Speaker 19: of competition, he really can't afford to play the lesser 1384 01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,040 Speaker 19: school course would hurt you down the stretch for voting 1385 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,960 Speaker 19: possibilities and getting in the tournament. That's the situation right there. 1386 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 19: But we move on. We'll keep our eye on that one. 1387 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:22,680 Speaker 19: But he is the thing, and that was the good 1388 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:24,760 Speaker 19: news about Miami. The bad news about Miami. This is 1389 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:27,840 Speaker 19: a former graduate and we're not really surprised of this 1390 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 19: news about Ben Roethlisberger. Former Steeler teammate Joey Porter says 1391 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 19: that Ben Roethlisberger was not a good person and we 1392 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,719 Speaker 19: sort of problems he had on the campus in Oxford, 1393 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 19: you know, with women and things like that. He had 1394 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,600 Speaker 19: some locker room issues with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was 1395 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:45,400 Speaker 19: suspended four games in twenty ten the violation of the 1396 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:50,640 Speaker 19: NFL's personal conduct policy. Multiple women accused him of misconduct 1397 01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,599 Speaker 19: back in old eight and twenty ten. Okay, so this 1398 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,920 Speaker 19: guy was not a good guy. However, it's funny that 1399 01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 19: Joey Porter came out there and did this, I mean, 1400 01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 19: really Joey Porter went nuts on this. He is why 1401 01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:04,640 Speaker 19: he vote Roethlisberger was a bad teammate. He said that Roetherisberger. 1402 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 19: Get this, This is unbelievable. He did not sign autograss 1403 01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,720 Speaker 19: for teammates family members during his rookie season. Really how 1404 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 19: Joey Porter was a team captain at the time. He 1405 01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:16,439 Speaker 19: decided to have a meeting with Wealthsburger. They specifically the 1406 01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:19,760 Speaker 19: client to sign something for defensive end Aaron Smith. How 1407 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 19: do you do that as a rookie? I mean really, 1408 01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,280 Speaker 19: And he's just a cocky guy. And we saw that 1409 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,920 Speaker 19: in Oxford and I continued in the pros. Although I 1410 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 19: will tell you this much, he's probably going to be 1411 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,880 Speaker 19: voted into the Hall of Fame. Went too Super Bowls. 1412 01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:35,640 Speaker 19: But I will say this, I just I don't get it. 1413 01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,599 Speaker 19: I don't care why someone could be like that. But 1414 01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,679 Speaker 19: I guess the ego took control. Maybe it's the ego. 1415 01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 2: Well, you know, and he he got away with the 1416 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:47,160 Speaker 2: stuff at Miami. Yeah, and a lot of these a 1417 01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:52,040 Speaker 2: lot of these star athletes get away with everything up 1418 01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:57,120 Speaker 2: to murder on a college campus because of their talent, 1419 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 2: because of their ability on the field or on the basketball, 1420 01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,599 Speaker 2: and you know, probably been that way all his life. 1421 01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,799 Speaker 2: Ben has probably been the best player on the field 1422 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:10,280 Speaker 2: from the time he was in grade school to junior high, 1423 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:14,200 Speaker 2: to high school to college. He feels entitled, and he 1424 01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 2: feels entitled to do whatever he wants and get whatever 1425 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,599 Speaker 2: he wants whenever he wants it. He just feels that way, 1426 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:25,479 Speaker 2: and you know, I blame parents and I blame school 1427 01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 2: administrators for allowing that to continue and not putting a 1428 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:33,240 Speaker 2: stopgap on that. One of these days Ben Roethlisberg will 1429 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 2: And maybe it's happened already. I don't know now that 1430 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,920 Speaker 2: he's retired, but one of these days he will have 1431 01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:41,800 Speaker 2: a reckoning. It may at it maybe at the end 1432 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 2: of his life. It may be before his life is over, 1433 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 2: but he will have a reckoning someday, and he will 1434 01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:50,160 Speaker 2: understand that he ain't all that in a bag of chips, 1435 01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 2: and he can't just do whatever he wants whenever he 1436 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:53,200 Speaker 2: wants to. 1437 01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 19: That's what I well, no, no, I. 1438 01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:01,560 Speaker 2: Know, even though you've been coddled the entire time. 1439 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 19: You you you do it to me, You call on 1440 01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 19: me with those big introductions and things like that, you 1441 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,240 Speaker 19: do it.

You know what, 1478 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,880 Speaker 19: It's funny because a lot of people are blaming him, 1479 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,679 Speaker 19: blaming that the social media aspect of it, his ego whatever. 1480 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,120 Speaker 19: You know what, that's fine.

But I will tell you this much. 1483 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,320 Speaker 19: I watched it, and uh, I tell you what made 1484 01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,800 Speaker 19: me feel good because the fact that you know, after 1485 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,519 Speaker 19: he lost, he went and shook hands with the kid 1486 01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,320 Speaker 19: that won the gold. Well, sure, that's what And I 1487 01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 19: love that you don't normally see that. That's what I love. 1488 01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:12,080 Speaker 2: He has had so much success Andy, and he will 1489 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,439 Speaker 2: continue to have success. And everybody has an off night 1490 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:17,960 Speaker 2: like you for example, this sounding. 1491 01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,639 Speaker 19: Listen to you us, Opie, what do you mean off night? 1492 01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,360 Speaker 19: You know you like it when we fight for that's. 1493 01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:29,519 Speaker 2: What you liked, you too much and it was making 1494 01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 2: you misbehave. So I'm trying to straighten the ship. I'm 1495 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,439 Speaker 2: trying to write the ship. Andy, I'm trying to straighten 1496 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 2: things out. 1497 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:36,240 Speaker 4: Now. 1498 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:40,000 Speaker 19: I got I got a super Bowl story for it. Okay, Okay, 1499 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 19: New England Patriots had a great season at rookie offensive 1500 01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 19: tack Oble Campbell. Great, great player. Really, it's could be 1501 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 19: a super. 1502 01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 4: Play this kid. 1503 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,840 Speaker 19: And he really struggled at the Seahawks. Really one of 1504 01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,760 Speaker 19: the worst offensive showings in the Super Bowl history. Really, 1505 01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,160 Speaker 19: And after the Super Bowl, Campbell revealed to the reporters 1506 01:33:57,439 --> 01:33:59,960 Speaker 19: that he played with a torn ligament in his knee 1507 01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,840 Speaker 19: during the season. Okay, and I'm saying, wait a minute, 1508 01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:06,200 Speaker 19: I mean it sounds great. I know you probably want 1509 01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,160 Speaker 19: pity for it. That's your excuse is not playing well, 1510 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 19: why the hell do you play? I mean, I know, 1511 01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:14,920 Speaker 19: Drake may No, I'm talking about Will Campbell offensive tax. 1512 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 19: And I understand athletes be to a different drum. They 1513 01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 19: have a psyche that I'll never understand that you know 1514 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 19: when the Bengals are playing in the freezer ball that 1515 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,120 Speaker 19: come out there in shirt sleeves. I mean, you know 1516 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,439 Speaker 19: you have that Madula machulu which I don't have, but 1517 01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 19: they have it. But why would you play if your 1518 01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 19: body is your temple, if your body is your office, 1519 01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:36,920 Speaker 19: depends on your body, and you're a young kid and 1520 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,640 Speaker 19: you're playing on a torn uh tour? What lit at me? 1521 01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 19: I guess in your knee which could possibly ro up 1522 01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,680 Speaker 19: to be even worse down the stretch and kind of 1523 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 19: ruin your career. Why would you do it? Why would 1524 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,200 Speaker 19: the coach do it? Why would in fact the training 1525 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:53,880 Speaker 19: staff do it? And I'll tell you something else towards 1526 01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:56,320 Speaker 19: that end. The other night, I think when you see 1527 01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:59,000 Speaker 19: won their basketball game because who they play, just because 1528 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,559 Speaker 19: a Sunday game they played some on that forgot. I 1529 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 19: was watching the game and after the game they had 1530 01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 19: the post game with with Dan Horde and Terry Nelson 1531 01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 19: and Wes Miller came on and he was praising Diggsel 1532 01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:12,680 Speaker 19: James because Disel Jeames said he had white things in 1533 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,719 Speaker 19: his throat and he's playing with one hundred and three fever. Really, 1534 01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:18,960 Speaker 19: shame on you, Wes letting him play. You know, if 1535 01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:21,120 Speaker 19: I'm a parent and I'm listening to the game of 1536 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,439 Speaker 19: radio because I'm not there, I'm out of town, and 1537 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:26,040 Speaker 19: I see the coaches letting him play with a fever 1538 01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,479 Speaker 19: of one old orty nuts, I don't get it. I 1539 01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:33,240 Speaker 19: don't understand. If you heard the post game, west Miller 1540 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,800 Speaker 19: was saying, hey, you know, he was terrible. This is 1541 01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,559 Speaker 19: exactly what Wes said. He was terrible. He didn't play well, 1542 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 19: but he had a hundred three fever and they had 1543 01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:43,080 Speaker 19: these white little sores in his throat. You know what 1544 01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 19: he said, be home in bed. If you had a child, 1545 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:45,960 Speaker 19: would you want to play? 1546 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:49,080 Speaker 2: Well, it's not even that Andy, but the threat to 1547 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,440 Speaker 2: his teammates and the other team if he's if he's infectious, 1548 01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:54,800 Speaker 2: if he's contagious. 1549 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 19: Yes, I don't get I. I don't understand the machoism 1550 01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,479 Speaker 19: and sports. I understand it's important to win, but I 1551 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:02,240 Speaker 19: think your body and your helpless first, and I think 1552 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:05,160 Speaker 19: Gissel James had a responsibility to coach. I can't go 1553 01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:07,400 Speaker 19: I can't give on hundred percent. I'm afraid to give 1554 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,200 Speaker 19: my teammates, you know, but they can't tell the coach 1555 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:13,040 Speaker 19: that where's the training stack, where's the team position? A 1556 01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:13,679 Speaker 19: teen doctor? 1557 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:17,719 Speaker 2: Right, it sounds like another It sounds like another mess 1558 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:20,400 Speaker 2: of the Miller era that you see to me, Andy, 1559 01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:23,240 Speaker 2: And with that we've got to conclude.
