WEBVTT - 12-18-25 Midweek Crisis with Dan Carroll 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:16.200 W another another three hours of live radio coming your way, 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.000 I mean, Thursday night edition of the Midweek Crisis. I'm 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.280 Dan Carroll, Joe Waddell running the Big Board in the 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.239 seven hundred WIW command center. No guests the first hour, 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.360 so if you want to jump on board five one, three, nine, seven, 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.559 eight hundred, the big One. I've got Fox News on 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.080 over to my left, and their police are in Salem, 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.159 New Hampshire, and they have been looking in a in 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.960 a storage unit, you know, they're They're at one of 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.720 those storage places. And apparently Fox News is reporting that 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.840 they've got a report that says the suspected shooter at 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:59.960 Brown University has been found dead inside a storage unit 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:05.319 there in Salem, New Hampshire. So there we are awaiting 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.199 another news conference from Providence, Rhode Island, the police department there, 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:15.560 and we'll find out what the latest developments on that is. 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.280 What else do we got tonight? A couple of guests 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.920 in the in the ten o'clock hour, My buddy Joe 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.520 Hoft is going to be here. This is my last 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:30.039 nighttime show for twenty twenty five. Next week and the 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.400 week after that, I'll be doing afternoon shows filling in 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.040 for Eddie and Rocky all next week and the week 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.520 after that leading up to New Year. So it's my 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.319 last nighttime show. Joe Hoft is one of my great 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.640 guests that I have that I have on this show 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.720 on a recurring basis, and it's gonna be great to 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.320 talk to him. And then my buddy doctor Sheldon Roth. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.800 Haven't spoken to him in a while, and he wrote 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.960 a book about Trump, about Trump's Beautiful Mind. And I 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:01.920 was listening to Chuck Schumer earlier today Chuck Schumer felt 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.560 compelled to go to the floor of the Senate and 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:11.240 speak on Trump and psychoanalyzed Trump, and we'll compare Chuck 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:16.120 Schumer's analysis of Trump and his mental state compared to 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.840 doctor Sheldon Roth. So I say, I think that that'll 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.120 be interesting. In the meantime, I want to follow up 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:30.520 on the last couple of days ever since the murder 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:40.400 of Rob Reiner in California, and that was terrible news 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:45.720 when that broke over the weekend. I considered Rob Ryan 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:51.040 to be a very talented individual. I've watched his movies 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.840 over the years, especially Princess Bride, and I mean there's 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:02.079 there's his ability to direct and the way he could 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.680 communicate a story and a message just the top knives. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:15.000 The talent is undeniable, and so I was horrified learning 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.080 the details of what happened to him and his wife. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:23.920 And so that is an absolutely tragic circumstance. If what 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.480 is alleged to have happened with his son stabbing them 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.560 to death, it's a terrible thing. And one of the 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.440 things that happened over the weekend was that Donald Trump 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.400 put out a statement and the first thing he said 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.240 it was very sad. But Donald Trump was no fan 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:50.040 of Rob Reiner. I disagreed in the most profound ways 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.880 possible with Rob Reiner when it came to political issues, 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:01.640 and he was quite prolific on his social media of 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.920 putting stuff out that was anti Trump and all the rest. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.600 And he's and he's has been one of the loudest 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:15.000 voices when it comes to saying bad things about Donald Trump. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.440 And so it seemed to me that it would not 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.800 be unexpected that Trump would not deviate from who he 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.480 is as a person to go out and just and 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.640 say nice things about Rob Reiner. And so Trump put 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.679 a statement out there that a lot of people didn't 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.520 care for, They didn't like it. I wasn't particularly and 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.800 crazy about it. Here's what I wrote on my x 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.400 feet about the about the statement that Trump put out there, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.640 and I wrote this, Trump was staying true to who 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.560 he is, and some may find that distasteful. I'd prefer 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.640 it if his statement on Reiner was more artful crafted, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.400 but overall it's fairly tame compared to statements that have 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:10.599 come from the left in similar circumstances. And I stand 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.360 by that. When I wrote that, I was reminded of 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.719 some of just just some of the most horrible statements, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.040 just some of some of the most terrible things imaginable 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.800 that were put out there. And when we saw the 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:28.680 assassination of Charlie Kirk, and this would not be the 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.840 first time that we have had just some of the 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:40.040 worst statements imaginable after someone who was well known on 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.680 the right passes away, and the absolute joy that is 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.479 expressed by some of the people who put those statements out. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.080 So there were some people who saw that that I 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.160 posted that on my x feed over the weekend, and 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.719 they tried to take me in a task for that, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.400 saying that you know, I don't know what I'm talking about, 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.600 and that you know you did. Didn't your mom ever 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.839 tell you not to? You know, you can't see anything nice, 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.320 all that kind of stuff. And so I'm getting ready 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.320 for the show today and I see that Larry Elder, 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.000 who was a great talk show host in his own right, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.640 he wrote a piece about Rob Reiner and as I said, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.440 Donald Trump was no fan of Rob Reiner. And I remember, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.200 oh gosh, it was had to be six seven years ago. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:39.480 I did almost almost an entire show about something that 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:44.719 Rob Reiner wrote that was just just really terrible, and 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.000 I spent a lot of time. It was a it 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.599 was a Saturday show, but it was just some of 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.800 the some of the most terrible stuff, and I pretty 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.479 much dissected just about everything he had to say and 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.919 took issue with what he had to say. And I 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.479 just remembered that he could. He was perfectly capable of 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.279 saying horrible things in his own right. And so Larry 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.480 Elder wrote a piece about this, and he talks about 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.240 Donald Trump could have taken the high ground rather than 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.760 excoriating Rob Reiner. The actor, director, producer found stab to 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.320 death along with his wife. Reiner's son, Nick, has been 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:29.400 arrested in connection with the murders. Trump doubled down in 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.160 a true social post, telling reporters, I think he hurt 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.280 himself career wise. He became like a deranged person Trump 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.640 derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.280 Ryder at all in any way, shape or form. I 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:48.720 thought he was very bad for our country. So why 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.560 would you expect, knowing what you know about Donald Trump, 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:57.560 for him to react any other way. If someone punches him, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:02.880 he punches back harder. And there are certain things I 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.240 think that he lets go and doesn't hold on to. 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.080 But I don't think he was ever friends with Rob Reiner. 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.400 I don't think Yner ever reached out to him. I 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.520 don't think they certainly didn't reach out to each other. 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.800 But he just didn't care for and he wasn't going 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.080 to change that, even though he was murdered in his 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:29.240 own home. And Larry Elder goes on. Criticism about Trump's 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.600 harsh remarks even came from Trump supporters, But consider Rob 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:41.160 Reiner's actions against and statements about candidate and President Donald Trump. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.679 Here we go. Reiner, months after Trump won the presidency 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:51.600 in twenty sixteen, co founded the Nonpartisan Committee to Investigate Russia. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.360 Its mission said Reiner was to serve as a one 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.840 stop shop where people can come and be made aware 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.960 of what the breaking news stories are today, the various investigations, 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.400 what stages they are in, but also to understand the 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.720 history and what the Soviet Union and now Russia has 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.240 been trying to do for many, many years. My concern 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.000 is people don't understand the gravity of what they were 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:20.360 able to do. This committee's advisory board includes former Director 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.680 of National Intelligence James Clapper, We've all heard that name before, 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.320 former Director of the CIA, Michael Hayden, former Secretary of Defense, 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.040 director of the CIA, and former White House Chief of 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:40.000 Staff Leon Pennetta. Former acting Director of the CIA Michael Morrell. 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.040 They were among the fifty one senior former intelligence officials 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:51.120 who signed the letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:56.600 has all the classic gear marks of a Russian information operation, 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.400 and I think we know how that turned out, do 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:06.280 we not. So Rob Reiner had what he believed to 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:12.120 be some very heavy hitters on this committee to keep 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.560 people up to date on what was happening with the Trumpster. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.319 The Trump Russian collusion narratives has been debunked. The Russians 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.880 failed to change a single vote tally as to the 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.160 Russian interfere to help Trump narrative. Director of National Intelligence 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:31.320 Tulsea Gabbert stated the President Obama and his national security 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:36.280 Cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:41.000 for what was essentially a year's long coup against President Trump, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.280 and the Hunter Biden laptop story was not only true, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.640 but it also revealed President Joe Biden clearly lied when 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.920 he denied knowing anything about his son's overseas business dealers. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.439 In twenty seventeen, in an interview with Variety, Runn described 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:04.079 Trump as quote mentally unfit to serve as commander in 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:09.000 chief and called him the single most unqualified human being 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:15.400 to ever assume the presidency of the United States. In 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.959 another interview, Reiner said, I'm going to tell you the truth. 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.760 You have a complete and utter lying buffoon. He's a fraud. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.000 He lies, he cheats people. Everything that comes out of 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.240 his mouth is virtually a lie. He's a con man, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.160 and if you look at what he's done with his 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.120 career and how he's tricked people into things, it's abhorrent. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.400 I never liked George W. Bush his policies, but I 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:47.280 didn't hate the guy. I hate this man, and Reiner 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.959 has been a continuous one stop shop for anti Trump insults. 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.559 Not only does he not understand this is a Hiner 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.120 quote here. Not only does he not understand how government works, 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.839 he has no interest and trying to find out how 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:07.960 it works. You have one candidate Trump who actually tells 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:13.280 you he's going to govern like an authoritarian. These are 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.920 again Reiner quotes. Do we want fascism or do we 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.720 want to continue the two hundred and forty eight years 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.520 of self rule? Do we want to continue democracy or 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:28.360 do we want to slip into fascism. He wants to 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.960 destroy the constitution, go after his political enemies, and turn 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:36.199 America into an autocracy. We see autocracy making us move 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.439 around the world, and so if we crumble, there's a 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:45.120 danger that the democracy crumbles around the world. It's really 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.240 gotten to a very scary place in this country. Senator 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.720 John Kennedy of Louisiana struck the right tone when asked 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.960 about Trump's condemnation of Reiner. Kennedy says, a wise man 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:01.320 once said nothing. Why because he's a wise man, I 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.520 think President Trump should have said nothing. Well, we can 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.440 all agree on that man. It appears Reiner made no 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.280 public comment about the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt against Trump, 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.960 but saying, as Trump did about Reiner, I'm not a 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:21.120 fan is a far cry from saying that he hates him. 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.760 As Reiner said about Trump, the question is whether it's 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.680 fair and reasonable for Trump to show grace to someone 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:36.959 who never offered the slightest bit of grace to him. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:43.240 And that's the writing of Larry Elder. So Rob Reiner 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:48.680 went out of his way to speak poorly of Trump, 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:55.480 to level false accusations against him, to go down the 0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:03.760 fascist road, and inuation, go down the Hitler road. And 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:09.720 he said, I mean his own words, that he hates him. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:16.000 And so when he's murdered in his own home, unfortunately tragically, 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.600 Trump all of a sudden is supposed to bend over 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.840 backwards and say nice things. I know it's ingrained in 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.880 a lot of us, and including myself, that you do 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:37.000 not speak ill of the dead, and I I tend 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:42.160 to agree with that. I would have rather that Trump 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.640 put out no statement at all compared to the one 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.200 that he did. But when you actually look at what 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:57.480 he said, it's fairly tame, fairly simply pointing out some 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:04.000 of the facts Trump staying true and really in the 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.360 in the in the long run, aren't we better off 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:12.160 having leadership, especially political leadership, really any kind of leadership, 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.120 whether it's private business, whether it's your own family, what, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:21.920 any kind of leadership staying true to who they are, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:27.240 being the person they are, instead of changing as the 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:34.080 wind blows to accommodate certain people or certain ideas or 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.240 whatever the fashion of the day. Is better off having 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.440 someone who's true to themselves, who's true to the people 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.600 that they're speaking to. So fine, you know you want 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.320 to take me to task for what I said about 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.440 Trump's comment, I mean, you're you are more than welcome 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.840 to and you're more than well welcome to pick up 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.960 the phone and call me five one, three, seven, four 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.200 nine seven eight hundred, the Big One. I'll be here 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.920 till midnight tonight if you would like to do that. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.720 But I haven't spoken about it until now, so I 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.640 just wanted to get that out of the way, and 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.520 I got tons of other stuff I want to talk 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.240 about tonight as well, so we will do that as 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.760 we roll on till midnight tonight. It is the Thursday 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.800 night edition of the midweek Crisis Dan Carroll till midnight 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:29.960 tonight on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW nine thirty eight. Hey, 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:36.680 Joe Wattell, so can we find any Christmas music to 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.960 bump in with? Do you have do you have access 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.240 to any any If do you have some right there? 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.520 Can we you know, start this breakover again if you 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.600 find find another selection? You know, maybe some Charlie Brown 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.720 Christmas music would be great. And you know, I don't 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.080 know about you, and let me throw this question out there. Well, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.040 I'm thinking about it. I'm just I'm not really feeling 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:06.040 the Christmas music this year. I mean, usually around this 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.520 time in the year, I got I've got a couple 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.199 of different Christmas CDs in my car and I you know, 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.040 Mike Carr was still I still played the CDs in 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.320 my car, I got CD player, and uh, just not, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:19.960 I'm just just not into it this year. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:20.920 You know. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.560 I'm usually saying some of the FM stations they got 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:28.280 all Christmas music all the time, but not so far 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.119 this year, I haven't done that. Have you found a 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:36.480 Christmas election yet? Joe? What we lay something on me? 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.920 I mean, I I don't know what you have access 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.400 to in there if you have, if you have something 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:45.840 a little christmasy, a little seasonal, you know, lift the 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.560 mood a little bit. I don't know what that was 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.000 he bumped in with there, but it didn't sound very 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:56.520 Christmas e to me. No, nothing, All right, let's not 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.960 worry about it. All right, Let's say Greg from Dayton 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.080 is on the line and we'll see what is on 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.560 Greg's minds. To Greg, you're on seven hundred w W 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.240 you guys get a ton of getting a ton of 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:09.480 rain up there at dating tonight? 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.800 Oh yeah, you know, there's nothing that will throw you 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.600 out of the Christmas smooth then to run be driving 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.600 through torrential rain and seeing the forty mile an hour 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:26.439 wind blowing Santa Reindeer and everything else all over the roads. 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.800 I was thinking, what if it was still cold like 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.920 it was last week, whether this be like a blizzard tonight, 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:32.320 wouldn't it? 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.240 Well believe we wouldn't be. We wouldn't be moving to 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:39.080 Eastern It'd be terrible. So I don't I don't want 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:45.040 to make light of the whole Rob Reiner situation. You know, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:50.240 obviously a tragedy. You never, no matter what side of 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.000 the fence or the creek or whatever. You don't want 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.679 to see anything happen like this. That being said, I 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:04.040 just I wondered in my mind, how long will it 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:10.560 take for somebody with the AI capability to start showing 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:19.600 the Archie Bunker clips of Trump's head on Archie Bunker 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:21.520 dealing with meathead. 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.119 That's a good question. I would not be surprised if 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.960 they if they exist already, I have not seen one yet. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.879 I haven't either, but you know, it's coming. 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.000 Probably it'll probably be out there. I mean, everything else 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.919 along those kind of lines is out there, So I 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.560 haven't seen it yet, but I'll keep an eye out 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:40.840 for it. 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:42.160 Well. 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:48.320 And I've seen, you know too obvious sayings that that 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.719 we can apply to this, you know from the media. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.560 You know, don't don't poke the bear. They know what 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.560 they're doing. They know how to get Trump going. Uh 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.120 and if you don't want to hear it, then don't ask. 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:05.640 But they do. 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.199 They they this is what motivates them, you know, to 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:13.959 to get him going. And secondly, for for Trump, you know, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.200 stop taking the bait. There has to be some point 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:23.720 that that he can put put his emotions in neutral 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:29.080 or or whatever and just stay silent. That would tickle 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.400 me to death. I'm a Trump supporter, but there are 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.240 times when he walks to the podium that I cringe 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:38.880 because I think, what's he going to say? 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:39.080 Now? 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.960 Man, My sense of it is is that he is 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:47.280 actually has been a bit more restrained this time around 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.160 than he was during his first term. 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.200 Oh yes, you're exactly right. I'm one in that camp 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.560 has been able to harness him a little bit. 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.320 I would imagine Susie Wiles, his chief of staff, has 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:01.840 had something to do with that. And I just think 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.239 he's got overall, he's got better people around him. But 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.120 look at Trump. Trump, he is who he is. I mean, 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.360 what what is He's seventy eight years old, seventy nine 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.080 years old. He is not going he is not going 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:18.680 to change. And essentially, all I said was that this 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.120 is And look, there are a lot of people who 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.520 immediately came out and said this is wrong. He shouldn't 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.880 have said that. He you know, it was an apology. Well, 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:27.719 I really I don't think any of that that is 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.640 Trump being it is. It is who he is, and 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.480 he might have been better off saying nothing at all, 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.520 but it's it's who he is and all and all 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.280 he said was he didn't think Rob Reiner was good 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:43.639 for the country, and he think Rob Rider had a 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.840 serious case of TVs, which if you look at what 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:51.159 he did, I mean, he was Rob Reiner. He came 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.639 out and he said he hated Trump, called him a fascist, 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.840 I mean, all the other stuff, and just when just 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:03.360 went down that rabbit hole of repeating stuff and believing 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.399 stuff that said that simply wasn't true. But Greg, I 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:11.200 appreciate the call tonight and the Merry Christmas shirt YouTube Christs. 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.160 All right, there you go. That's great. From dating. Let's 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:14.720 go to West Union. We'll say I haven't talk to 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.359 Steve in West Union for a little while. Then we 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:21.040 got Bradley and Yellow Springs. Steve seven hundred, ww. 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:22.960 Dan, how are you. 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:24.800 I'm good, Steve. Good to hear your voice. 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.040 I got a I got a list, Okay, I want 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:32.639 to I want to just read it, okay, mare Win 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.680 and at the end I will get in a summary. 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.040 Keep it clean, Keep it clean. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.439 This is one of the worst years of my entire life. 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.520 I'm sixty four years old and this year has been 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:55.080 absolutely devastated. First, my wife is overcoming breast cats. Yes, 0:22:55.920 --> 0:23:00.439 I'm disabled, veteran, so I'm kind of house down and 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.680 all that. All right, So we're getting there. Over that 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:12.080 December second, my favorite little girl, Don'gie Day, she died 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:17.040 and it's broke my heart. I can barely speak. 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.040 About it now. I had to put. I had to 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.920 put a couple of months ago, and it was it 0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:26.720 was terrible. So I feel you there, brother. 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.280 Doctor told me I wasn't allowed to have testosterone anymore, 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:32.520 and that kind of messes with my whole love life. 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.920 And I asked him why, and he said, putting testosterone 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.960 on an issue with your prostate is like putting an 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:45.480 ape palm on fire. So I've been going without testosterone 0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:48.919 when my test ozone level is lower than a girl. 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:55.000 So I can't hardly move, oh man, until they figure 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:59.560 it out, and then maybe with a little luck, I'll 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:05.439 get it. My son has decided to divorce his wife 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:10.399 for ten years. They lived two blocks down the road. 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.400 Oh boy. 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:17.000 I moved here to help them succeed, and all I 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:21.440 did was get burned a little bit. I love my son. 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:24.800 He's a good kid. He's a firefighter. He's actually saved 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:29.760 brad Winstrop's family a couple of times. But Anyway, he's 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:33.960 a good kid. He found he's true and now we're 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:39.880 dealing with that. He spends most of his time in Harrison, Ohio, 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:45.000 wherever the hell that is, and she is down the 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:51.359 block from me. Now, I've got a few other things 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.040 that I don't want to, you know, go overboard. 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:56.120 I was going to say, we get to the point 0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:57.440 of this, Steve, what's the point of all this? 0:24:59.000 --> 0:24:59.119 Is? 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:00.440 IM better? 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:05.080 It's Christmas. I have a I have a good heart. 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:10.440 I've done the best I can. And everybody out there 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:16.120 with troubles, uh, sometimes your troubles aren't as big as 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:22.679 your troubles you think. And and if you just trust 0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:27.600 in the true meaning of Christmas, it'll all be okay. 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.000 Steve. But that is ah, that is a good outlook. 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:36.919 I uh. I sympathize with you for your the hardships 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.399 that you've had this year. I wish you nothing but 0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:44.399 the best. I thank you for your service. Gotta get better, 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.520 gotta get better.

So Steve is having his difficulties, 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.520 but he is going to choose to look at the 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:03.200 at the re and for the season. So I think 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.880 that's a that's a good idea. Let's go to Yellow Springs. 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:09.640 And this is Bradley Bradley seven hundred w w Hey, 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.280 how you doing. I'm good. I'm good, Bradley?

I just want to wish that Steve gentlemen, 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.440 you know, good vibes. I guess is like, I don't 0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:30.040 really know what to say to that. That was a 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:31.439 hard one to come up on. 0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.840 He's had He's had his share this year, so probably 0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:40.680 more than his more than his share. So that's life. 0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:41.440 Ain't always fair? 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:41.760 Brother? 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.399 You know the one thing I wanted to comment about 0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:51.680 tonight and I've never called in, but I listen.
