1 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: I wonder if I could get it on that thousand dollars. 2 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: I got some stuff I got to do. Do you 3 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: think I'm eligible for that day? Probably not. Hey, welcome 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: on in. It's the average American in for the great 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: American on this Wednesday. We are more than thrilled that 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: you are with us. I say that and I mean it, 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: because without you, what would I be? I would be 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: one man sitting in a room by myself, babbling, and 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: I would not have to leave home to do that. Well, 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: the news is all over the place today, isn't it. 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: Iran is blowing up. It looks like they're going to 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: execute a very high profile individual over there who is 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: the leader of their resistance movement. Meanwhile, tens of thousands 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: of people on accluding to some reports, have already been 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: executed in response to the uprisings that we've seen in Iran. Meanwhile, 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: back close to the home, the Homeland Security Department told 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: the website Just the News that millions dollars of cash 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 1: have been leaving not just the Minneapolis Airport, but also 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November of twenty twenty three. 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: Millions of dollars in bulk cash and where is it 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: headed Well, typically, according to the HSA, typically they go 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: to Minneapolis, drop off the cash, and then a subsequent 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: courier travels aboard from Minneapolis to Dubai through Amsterdam. The 24 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: officials say that they have uncovered a massive cash movement 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: that gathered money for multiple Somali immigrants in communities in 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: the West like Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis, and is being 27 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: sent back to Somalia. Of course, if you're the governor 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: of Ohio, as your spokespersonan said last week, it's fraud. 29 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: Is just the cost of doing business. And meanwhile, of 30 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: course we're waiting on the Supreme Court to rule on 31 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs. Trump is in Michigan or wa was yesterday 32 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: flipping off a worker. The worker apparently has been suspended. 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: A lot of stuff going on, And when a lot 34 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: of stuff goes on, we turn to someone who has 35 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: one of the finest political minds of our time, someone 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: whose mind is so honed in on politics that it's 37 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: impossible sometimes to get him to join us on this 38 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: radio show because he researches, he dives into materials so deeply. 39 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: It's very often that he comes up but Anthony Russo 40 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: has come up on this Wednesday and he's joining us 41 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: here now on seven hundred W. Well w and Anthony Russo, 42 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Wednesday? 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: Gosh, you're really fluffing my muffin before I get on 44 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: the air, aren't you. 45 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of muffins you like, boy, 46 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: but I'll get him for you. You just tell me. 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: How well man? I'm all right, I'm doing pretty good. 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: How you doing? 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: Here's what I don't understand. Trump's trying to get stuff done. 50 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: And Trump's not a politician. We know Trump doesn't kiss, 51 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: but we know that Trump does it his way or 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: it's the highway. Of course, it ruffles feathers. But I 53 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: can't ever remember the Republican Party in my lifetime being 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: as much of an obstructionist party as the Democrat Party 55 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: is now and frankly has been for the last ten 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: or twelve years. Can you? 57 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: No? Definitely not. 58 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: But again, like you said, he ruffles some feathers, and 59 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: fact is there is the question is is there really 60 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: one party? Is there two parties? Is there three parties? 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: Is there this Thomas Matthews of the world? Is he 62 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: separate as the America. First, there is a major dissension 63 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: in what is the Conservatives and what is the Rhinos 64 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: at this point, and the Rhinos are just part of 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party, and I think we're exposing that now. 66 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: Am I saying that this is the area that I 67 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: like what Trump is doing. I think he's exposing just 68 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: the complete fracture and all political parties. There are some 69 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: things he could be doing better, but in this case 70 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: what we are seeing especially, I think that you're leaning 71 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: towards the direction of the the ACA and the Obamacare 72 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: and how you know, the Conservatives and the Republicans have caved. 73 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: But he is somebody that is at least trying to 74 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: push the metal and figure out who is truly America. 75 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: Ferson who is not well. 76 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: I've often said I might have said it to you 77 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: that in Washington, d c. Every Democrat is a Democrat, 78 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: but not every Republican is a Republican. And there are 79 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: some weak need Republicans and we know who they are. 80 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's every time a boat comes up and 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: they have to attach their name to it, they go 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: running for the shadows. But my point in all of 83 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: it is is, yeah, I do think that there are 84 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: a number of different factions, and I think Trump's base 85 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: is a strong, solid base, both with the country and 86 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: inside the Beltway in Washington, d C. But it's not 87 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: big enough, and I don't know how you build on that. 88 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: I just saw a poll that came out two or 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: three days ago, I believe Gallup did it, that there 90 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: are now more declared independents in this country than there 91 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: are members of the rept Publican party. And Trump needs 92 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: independence to get elected. He needed them desperately in twenty 93 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: twenty four, and he got them. We can argue about 94 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election all we want. He didn't win. 95 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: I mean, in essence, he didn't wind up in the 96 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: White House in twenty twenty. I'm just wondering, is this 97 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: bull in the China closet that he is is that 98 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: winning over independence enough to not only keep his agenda alive, 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: but also to keep his successor alive in twenty twenty eight, 100 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: And that would be I would think jd Vance alive 101 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: in the sense that he would be a candidate that 102 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: could get elected. 103 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: What do you think I actually think Trump. Trump's hurting 104 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: jd Vance's cause. 105 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: The cool part about the fact that we are moving 106 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: to a country full of independence, is the fact that 107 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: we are realizing how broken our political system is. The 108 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: problem is the Democrats and the Republicans still hold so 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: much power that they will not be able to rely 110 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: linquish the fact that we, as an American base, probably 111 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: fifty percent or more at this point, know that our politicians, 112 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: our political system is broken beyond repair and needs a 113 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: complete reformation. 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 3: Now. When it comes to Trump and. 115 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: The way that he is in the way that he 116 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: is influencing the independence is based on his rhetoric, and 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: his rhetoric is still very, very very poor. His explanation 118 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: of some of the actions are very poor, his unwillingness 119 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: to at knit sometimes that things are not perfect under him, 120 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: or that there might be a fault. It hurts the 121 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: independence belief system on the current Republican party. 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: So it does hurt Jade Vance. 123 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: I think as a country, it puts us in a 124 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: position that we need to start relooking at the whole system. 125 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: Problem is, how do you fix the system where the 126 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: people that need to fix it are the ones that 127 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: are also in charge. 128 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: Exactly, and to fold it back to Trump, Trump was 129 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: viewed as a disruptor in twenty sixteen. He's still that. 130 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at it the way he 131 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: goes about it, you know he's at odds with people 132 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: in his own party that sit in the Senate and whatnot. 133 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: But to do what you're talking about, it would take 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: a disruptor. Everybody thought Obama was that, and he really wasn't. 135 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: He was a divider, certainly, but a disruptor can also 136 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: be a unifier. So I don't know who's out there 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: that would be palatable to this country as a unifier 138 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: as well as a disruptor because people buy and large 139 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: and I put myself in that category as well. People 140 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: don't like change. I think they want I don't think 141 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: they want drama from that particular area of government, the Senate, 142 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: the House. They don't want drama, but they certainly don't 143 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: want change. So how do you get change if you 144 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: don't have a disruptor that goes in there. 145 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: No, that's true. 146 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: But there's a way to be a disruptor and not 147 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: a divider, and he is being a little bit of both. 148 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: I'll be very honest, and I think things are a 149 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: little bit different in the second term than I think 150 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: in the first term. I think people had hope, the 151 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: hope for change. That's why he won this in twenty two, 152 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: twenty four. But again the hope would be be the 153 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: disruptor and then leave away the comments on people like 154 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: Rob Reiner because I know it sounds small, and nobody 155 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: cares about Rob Reiner across the board, especially conservatives. 156 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: He's a piece of crap. 157 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: We didn't like him, but there was no need to 158 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: tread on his grave, and those little words affected a 159 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: voting base to say, man, maybe this guy really is 160 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: the jerk that the other side thought he was. 161 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: So it's the little things. 162 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: And of course when you don't have the media on 163 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: your side, it's going to keep getting blown up and 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: blown up and blown up. So he has to be 165 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: delicate on certain areas, be harsh and disruptive on others. 166 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: But when it comes to the humanity conversation, he needs 167 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: to be a little bit more tactical, and he has 168 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: lost that tactical ability in this presidency. 169 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: So yes, disruptor is good. Jade Vance. 170 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: His words are very disruptive when he follows up on 171 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: stuff like the ice shooting. What he is being disruptive 172 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: yet at the same time logical and hard to take 173 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: from a non humane perspective. 174 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: He's being exactly what we need. 175 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: And the problem is Will Trump's not middle ground rhetoric 176 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: hurt JD and hurt the country in the end, because, 177 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: like I said, we're not going to miraculously be able 178 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: to switch to a third party. 179 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: We're not going to realize that. 180 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, big money, pharmaceuticals, all these run our government to 181 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: the point where they can't actually make any real change. 182 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 2: We're not going to be able to do that theoretically 183 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: in the next four years, so we're still going to 184 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: need somebody like a Jdvans to hold on. Otherwise, we've 185 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 2: got Governor Newsom that's going to be the heir apparent 186 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: that completely will flip this country on the one way 187 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: train to democratic socialism. And that is a scary, scary 188 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: Venezuelan type thought. 189 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Yet they're the GOP right now, I think is overpopulated 190 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: with people who believe that Ronald Reagan is coming back 191 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: from the dead and he's going to resurrect the party 192 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: along with him, and it will be Reagan Republicans in 193 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: charge in running this country. And I say to people 194 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: that say that that boat sailed, that the person that 195 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: is going to run this country next is going to 196 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: be like Trump in the sense that they're a populist. 197 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: People's party identification, I think, and this is particularly I 198 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: think with the under forty crowd, I think their political 199 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: identification identification is not as strong as it is maybe 200 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: for boomers and whatever may be left to the greatest generation. 201 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a populist. It's going 202 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: to be somebody like Trump that is going to be 203 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: this disruptor that we're talking about. And this is where 204 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: I have trouble with with with Trump. I don't think 205 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: he realizes that his legacy can live on if he 206 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: just play it a little different. I don't know who's 207 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: in his ear telling him to be this way, but 208 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: he could get a lot done. He's certainly never going 209 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: to get it done with the media. The media in 210 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: this country, particularly at that level, is as corrupt as 211 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: I've ever seen it. And I spent forty five years 212 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: in local television. The media is as corrupt as I've 213 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: ever seen it. In Washington, DC. They all want to 214 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: get Trump. It filters down, oftentimes to the local level, 215 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: and then because of that, he can't get his message out. 216 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: First it was Epstein files. Now you know what's coming next. 217 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: It's going to be Obamacare subsidies, then it's going to 218 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: be funding for ice, and we're headed right to another 219 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: government shutdown here in a couple of weeks. So why 220 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: doesn't he who's in his ear that's telling him to 221 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: be as belligerent as he is because it's counterproductive in 222 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: so many ways? 223 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: Completely agree, And honestly, I don't think he has anybody 224 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: in his ear that says any because I think people 225 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: are afraid of him. 226 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 3: You see what he does. You see how he. 227 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: Turns his back on probably one of the best people 228 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: in Congress, Thomas Massey, like if you disagree, or even 229 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green, not saying she was the best in 230 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: any way, shape or form, but she was somebody that 231 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: actually stood out and was a disruptor. But if you 232 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: go against Trump, he turns it. He doesn't He doesn't 233 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: have that bone in his body and his brain to 234 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: just realize that you can agree to disagree, you can 235 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: fight back and forth. And I'm afraid that's what happened. 236 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: What's happening with jd Vance that maybe you know jd 237 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: Vance is brilliant. I would love to know the conversations 238 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: that go on. Is jd Vance suggesting something else and 239 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: Trump isn't listening, or is jd Vance even afraid to 240 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: suggest something? 241 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 3: I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know 242 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: exactly who's in his ear. 243 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: But honestly, I think Trump does what Trump wants and 244 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: in some ways it works. Like what's going I'll be 245 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: very brief, but what's going on with Greenland? I think 246 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: that he's pushing this envelope, pushing, pushing, pushing. It looks ridiculous. 247 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: I think he is overshooting the runway so that he 248 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: can get a deal made where he still has very 249 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: strategic ties to Greenland. Same thing with the Supreme Court 250 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: ruling that's coming up today on tariffs. He knows that 251 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: he's pushing the envelope, probably too much, but he's trying 252 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: to test the waters to see how much he really 253 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: needs congressional approval. He'll still get the tariffs done. He 254 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: just has to go a different way if this gets 255 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: shot down. 256 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 3: He's doing. 257 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: He's being very intelligent in some ways, but it's the 258 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: rhetoric of the speech. 259 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: We're chatting with Anthony Russo. He is be the change. 260 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: That's where you can find him. Also, the truth will 261 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: set you free. The truth will always set everyone free. 262 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: If the Democrats take back the House, are you convinced 263 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: as I am, that their first order of business will 264 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: not be anything to help the country. It will be 265 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: how do we get Trump? Finally get Trump? Get Trump. 266 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: I guarantee you the day after the election, if the 267 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: Dems take the House, they'll start impeaching. They'll start an 268 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: impeachment process against Donald Trump. I lay I'll lay any 269 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: amount of money on that. Right now. They don't want 270 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: to improve the country. They just want to finally get 271 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: Trump and they haven't been able to do it. Do 272 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: you have any doubt that the day after this coming election, 273 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: if the Democrats take the House, first order of business 274 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: impeach Trump. 275 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't vet my life savings on it, 276 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 2: but it would be smart for them for the twenty 277 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: twenty eight election, it would be it would be the 278 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: intelligent place. Again, it's all politics. They don't care about 279 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: the country. It's the fact that now they can continue 280 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: to say how broken the Republican Party is, how broken 281 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: the MAGA group is, and how ridiculous the people are 282 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: in this country that voted for him. They can use 283 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: the invasion of Venezuela. They can impeach for a bunch 284 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: of different reasons on very very very very very loose ground, 285 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: which will start the proceedings, and all they will use 286 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: it as is a bargaining chip for the twenty twenty 287 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: eight election. The media will run with it and say again, 288 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: impeached again, criminal, terrible, horrible, horrible, So yes, again, what 289 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: I bet my life savings? No, but I do think 290 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: that that would be the smart play for them, because 291 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: that's how they play. 292 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: And in your opinion, how much on life support is 293 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: the GOP in this upcoming November election, both in the 294 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: House and the Senate. 295 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: We'll look at the poly market. 296 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: Polymarket's saying it's going to be a full control by 297 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: it with a percentage of eighty three percent right now, 298 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: eighty three percent chance it goes full blue. So, just 299 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: based on the fact that the poly market was pretty 300 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 2: dang accurate and the twenty twenty four election, they're pretty 301 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: good at judging these things. In the status that we 302 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: are at right now, where we are sitting, I would 303 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: say that the chances are that it's going to go 304 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: blue across the board. 305 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: So okay, So if you're if you're Johnson in the House, 306 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: if you're throwing in the Senate, if you're Trump in 307 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: the White House, who if you are leading the RNC 308 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: right now, I don't even know who it is. But 309 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: if you're leading the RNC right now, you have to 310 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: know that too. What are you doing? 311 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Like we just said before, Somebody's got to get in 312 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 2: Trump's here and just basically change the rhetoric. And they 313 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: also have to find a way to start coming together more. 314 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: I think Johnson Johnson is just getting shot down at 315 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: all levels. And unfortunately, you've got the Lindsay Grahams of 316 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: the world that are actually agreeing with Trump. And I 317 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: know that sounds weird for me to say, like a 318 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: Republican visits, shouldn't it be a good thing. No, You've 319 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: got these old, these old school Republicans that a lot 320 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: of us have disliked for a very long period of 321 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: time that are now siding with the current administration, which 322 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: makes it look even worse, which therefore lose. This is 323 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: the independence that wanted to go against that version but 324 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: still would vote for Trump and still would vote that way. 325 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: And we're seeing that the that the current Republican status 326 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: without without proper leadership. And again, I do think Johnson 327 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: has its good points, but he's also weak in a 328 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: lot of areas. 329 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: He's not the leader that they need. Thune, I think 330 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 3: is a little stronger. But that's a different conversation for 331 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: a different day. 332 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: I think that they need to be discussing a way 333 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: to galvanize the base outside of politics and continue to 334 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: step further away from the big federal government stronghold that 335 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: Trump in some ways is still sticking to, and find 336 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: a way to at least advertise that they are trying 337 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: to go back to a small, small style government, right. 338 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: Right, and and the and the media will not run 339 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: with that because they will say that it doesn't matter 340 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: what happens with Thune, with Johnson or what they're trying 341 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: to do. The overarching influences Donald Trump. And I think 342 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: that's the I think that's probably the vote that that 343 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: party is in right now. Would you agree? 344 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: I would agree, Yeah. 345 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: Good, Well, let's go. Well we end on an agreement 346 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: for crying out loud, that's a good day for us. 347 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: How do people find you, Anthony? There's a lot of 348 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: people that want to find you. I know this. How 349 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: do they find you? Are you are you going back 350 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: undercover again? No? 351 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 3: No, I mean you can always find me. 352 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 2: I actually even did a little political stuff on my 353 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 2: personal page, even though I try to avoid it. But 354 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: at Anthony Michael Russo on Instagram and at Truth will 355 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 2: Set You Free USA on Instagram is the best way 356 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: to find me. 357 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: Well, Anthony Michael Russo. As always, we thank you for 358 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: your time, stay well. Yours is a voice we need 359 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: to hear. Thanks for the insight today. 360 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 3: I appreciate your brother. Take it easy, all right? 361 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: There he is. I think he makes great points. Lighting 362 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: up Francis is what I'd be telling Trump right now, 363 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: if indeed he wants to keep this party on track. 364 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: And if I'm the Democrats, man, I'm looking my I'm 365 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: looking my chops about November right now. But I guarantee 366 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: you it doesn't It doesn't matter how many they get 367 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: in or what the majority is in in in November, 368 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: their first order business. We know what it is already, 369 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: get Trump, Stop Trump, Impeach Trump. That is box number 370 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: one they're going to check in November. Why we've seen 371 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: this movie before twelve twenty six on this Wednesday. It's 372 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: the average American in for the great American News Radio 373 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. Welcome Back, seven hundred WLW. Is the 374 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: average American in for the great American on this glorious Wednesday. 375 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 1: Wherever you are, however you're listening, whether it's by this 376 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: great medium called terrestrial radio or on the iHeartRadio app, 377 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: we welcome you in. Coming up at one oh six. 378 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court was supposed to rule on the Trump 379 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: tariffs today. They did not. They were supposed to rule 380 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: on it last week. They did not. So it makes 381 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: one wonder about whether or not this is going to 382 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: be a clear cut up or down for Trump and 383 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: his tariffs. It sounds like, as a guest said on 384 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: my show over the weekend, they may be trying to 385 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: split the baby here. Maybe uh, stop Trump with his tariffs, 386 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: but allow him to keep the money he's already collected. 387 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: Maybe do it on a case by case basis. I 388 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: don't know, but apparently the ruling on this is at 389 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: least one more day away. Anyway, at one oh six, 390 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: we're going to be talking with someone who understands the 391 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: ramifications for you, for me about these tariffs. It's not 392 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: just some big, urinating contest between Trump and all of 393 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: these other countries. They have a direct effect on you 394 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: and me and the amount of money you and I 395 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: can bring in in any given year or two our families. 396 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: We'll get into that at one o six two oh six. 397 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: Today Iran is blowing up, and they're not only shooting 398 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: protesters over there, they being the government, the people that 399 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: are in charge of that country, the clerics, the quote 400 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: unquote holy men over there are not only shooting these protesters. 401 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: There is a central figure that is supposed to be 402 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: executed today. And uh, at two oh six, we're going 403 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: to talk to somebody who was once a pol political 404 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: prisoner in Iran and yet has successfully and legally immigrated 405 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: to this country. So that's a two oh six today. 406 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: And of course along the way, a lot of fun intriquolity. 407 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: AI is everywhere. I heard I was. I just heard 408 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: it again today. I was at the gym and there 409 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: was a couple of people talking about AI and how 410 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: they don't understand it and how they're afraid about their 411 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: job and how AI may come and take their job away. 412 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: And I think it's a legitimate concern. Depends, of course, 413 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: on what kind of job you have, but it's a 414 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: legitimate concern. Nobody wants a machine to take their job 415 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: away and render them obsolete. Of course, a lot of 416 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: this is possibly just getting worked up over nothing, a 417 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: lot of it is true. And then there are things 418 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: called AI hallucinations. AI hallucinations. And I was reading an 419 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: article online on the internets a couple of weeks ago. 420 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: It was penned by a man named Raheel Malik. Now 421 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: Rahel Melik is a marketing professional and calls himself an 422 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: AI generist, a generalist generalist. I'm sorry, does that mean 423 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: he's more up the command than an AI major or 424 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: a lieutenant. No, a generalist, an AI generalist, and he 425 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: works for a company called Code Launch. All of this 426 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 1: seems intricate, but I wanted to get to the bottom 427 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: of what exactly AI hallucinations are and whether or not 428 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: they're plaguing our society. And what do you know, I 429 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: have tracked were Heal Malik down. He works again for 430 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: a company called Code Launch, and he's standing by to 431 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: give us some of his time here today. And Rahel, 432 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Wednesday. 433 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: I'm doing well, Ken, doing well. Thank you so much 434 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 4: for having me. How are you? 435 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: I'm well too, But I am totally confused, which is 436 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: not a state of mind that is unusual for me. 437 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: What are AI hallucinations? I keep hearing about AI hallucinations. 438 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: What is an AI hallucination? And does it involve any 439 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: illegal drugs? 440 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: No? 441 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 4: AI hasn't come that far yet to consume anything. But 442 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: you know, in Layman's terms, the best way I can 443 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 4: say it is is you know, bad information results in 444 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 4: bad data, right, So AI hallucinations occur when the source 445 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 4: material may not be the most accurate and then it 446 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 4: spits out an inaccurate answer. So that's why you'll see 447 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 4: that we're seeing so many different AI I guess systems 448 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 4: is the best way to put it for your audience 449 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: to understand. And it's like think about the varying brands 450 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 4: of cars. You know, do you have a Mercedes that 451 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 4: has its Mercedes phinoage and capabilities, and then you have 452 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 4: you know, you're maybe not Mercedes, and you know your 453 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 4: your Kios or your Hondas that are still cars that 454 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 4: will get you there. But there are different varying degrees 455 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 4: of quality and deliverables and those things, and that exists 456 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 4: in all technologies. 457 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: So if you're going to if you're going to can 458 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: I guess compare it to when computers first came out, 459 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: or when they first came into existence, back in the 460 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: bad old days, where a computer consumed in the entire room. 461 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: It was the old garbage in, garbage out. I mean, 462 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: if you throw a lot of crap into something, they're 463 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: just going to spit it right out. There's no filter, 464 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: no human filter for it. But therein lies the rub 465 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: because I wanted to know from jump about AI who 466 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: was actually riding herd on this stuff, and everybody would say, well, 467 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: you know what, we don't want any we don't want bumpers, 468 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: We don't want anybody doing any kind of filtering here 469 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: because that would only places behind other company countries that 470 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: are using AI, like China and Japan. But I mean, 471 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: there has to be some kind of filter, some kind 472 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: of oversight as to what's being spit out here, because 473 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: so many industries are relying on this, and I'm reading 474 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: here right now eight and ten workers using AI in 475 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: the office are using it with little oversight. That's extremely 476 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: dangerous on a number of levels, to say the least 477 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: of which would be legal. So don't we need somebody 478 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: being an overlord on this? 479 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 4: Well, I think you do. And there's a fine line 480 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 4: between microuging that employee or maximum the productivity with all 481 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 4: the tools available. Right, I'll share with you. You know a 482 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 4: lot of large corporations, and I won't say the name, 483 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 4: but my wife works for one of the largest banks 484 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: in the country, in the world actually, and they have 485 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: an internal some built proprietary that they are welcome and 486 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 4: encouraged to use. Right, So they've got the gates in 487 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 4: a dated system that they built custom that is specifically 488 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 4: for them. Now, what do I tell my wife? I said, 489 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 4: you know, every question you put in that thing is 490 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 4: them figuring out how to put a robot to do 491 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 4: your job. So be very careful on how you use 492 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 4: this thing, because every time you ask it a question, 493 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 4: it's figuring out the best way to replace you and 494 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 4: the rest of your team. But if you can make 495 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 4: your day to day more efficient, you know, it goes 496 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 4: back to the days of Remember there was a there's 497 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 4: a big uproar about the calculator when it came out, right, 498 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 4: there was a big uproar about about you know, computers 499 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 4: and you know doing the real math and our human 500 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 4: computers as right. So the question to your point, yes, 501 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 4: there is dangerous to that in proprietary information. I have 502 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 4: a background in cybersecurity, and what we always said was 503 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 4: the one thing we can't solve for in any technology solution, 504 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 4: the human being element. Right, A person is going to 505 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 4: click that thing, right, A person is going to try 506 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: to get ahead or try to use whatever tools they 507 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 4: can to make their life easier. So how do we 508 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 4: solve for the human element? I think we're going to 509 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 4: see a big uptick in a lot of companies building 510 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 4: her own AI systems. But what does that leave you know, 511 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 4: the middle the middle market and the and the small 512 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 4: moment pops. Well, maybe it's one of those things where 513 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: they can design and implement it using you know, technology 514 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 4: groups that we're affiliated with through our parent company, improving 515 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 4: that build customs solutions, and maybe it's finding strategic partners 516 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 4: to achieve that. But uh yeah, it's got it, Heery, 517 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 4: I will agree with you there, Kin, But again, I 518 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 4: mean change always is right through the decades, certainly. 519 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: So here's what I think is happening. I think you 520 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: got a lot of these I get I think you've 521 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: got a lot of these middle managers, maybe the people 522 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: they answered to in Company X and they're saying, nag 523 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: your workload for the week, or this has to be 524 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: done within the next ten days, or whatever they say 525 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: to one of their people that they manage, and oh, 526 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: by the way, you need to embrace AI. Okay, that's 527 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: an inordinate amount of work, but if you use AI, 528 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: you'll be able to get that work done. And so 529 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: I think they turn some of these employees, you know, 530 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: often let them do whatever they want with AI, and 531 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they've got they got the work done. 532 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: And who knows if the work is right, the work 533 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: is wrong. I guess they eventually find out about it. 534 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: But I think where they're they're telling employees to use 535 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: this tool, it's wonderful. I think what they're really doing 536 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: is just using that tool to don't more work on 537 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: the employee. I think I think a lot of that's 538 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: going on right now. And I know that's anecdotal, don't 539 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: get me wrong. I don't know any research, but I 540 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: kind of think that's what's going on. 541 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if you think about it, what did 542 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: a combined harvester allow farmers to do? Right before the 543 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 4: combine harvester, you know, a farmer and his son and 544 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: his family and they were all going out there and 545 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 4: harvesting you know, maybe an acre a day or whatever. 546 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 4: That looks like. I don't know the exact statistics, but 547 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 4: the capability and capacity of what a combine harvester allows 548 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 4: you to do, you know, the tech tar So the 549 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 4: goal being, you know, yeah, do more work. What's the 550 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 4: corporate mantra, right, more with less? Those middle managers say, oh, 551 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 4: this was great, this is shiny. 552 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: This is good. 553 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 4: Let me just send it up the chanting. But to 554 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 4: your point, I think the expectation is absolutely increased. Right 555 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: now all these are available, worker, you can get done, 556 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 4: You can do more with less. But yeah, you asked 557 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 4: a great question. When we figure that out, I think 558 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 4: the company to figure out how they can protect and 559 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 4: create those guardrails going to be the most successful. 560 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think there's any question about that. We're 561 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: chatting with Raheel Malik. He's one of those guys that 562 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: has embraced AI and somebody that understands how it can 563 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: help you, help me and everybody else. But certainly, if 564 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: you've got a business, code Launch is a company that 565 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: can provide the software solution that you need and then 566 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: to maximize your your growth as well. You know, I 567 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: do think you use the combine harvester strategy. I agree 568 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: with that, and the Internet was a good comparison to 569 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: I think eventually all of this stuff works out, right, 570 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we're stuck today, you know, 571 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: six seven, eight, ten years with this. I think basically 572 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: this is an evolving tool that can be used and eventually, 573 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: eventually it's going to become something that's just an everyday 574 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: way of life. I just think there's just growing pains 575 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: with a lot of this, right. 576 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 4: I think they're spot up can and you know, one 577 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 4: of the things that we have to consider is the 578 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 4: strategic intrinsic value of that. 579 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: Right. 580 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 4: What is our competition on the global scene doing right? 581 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 4: How are we arming our kids and educating them to 582 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 4: be the leaders in this thing? But you couldn't be 583 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: more spot on. I mean, AI is already part of 584 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 4: your life, whether you know it or not. Like everybody, 585 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 4: if you have an iPhone and you've used Siri before, 586 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 4: that was an early iteration and its capabilities are only growing. 587 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 4: If you think about what's recommended to watch on Netflix? 588 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 4: How does it know that that's an algorithm that that 589 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 4: shows you and tries to pump more things that you 590 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 4: to watch. So whether you know it or not, and 591 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 4: whether you like it or not, this thing is. This 592 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 4: thing is here to stay and it's only going to 593 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 4: be more and more U in part of your life. 594 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 4: And I'll give you an example of how how embedded 595 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 4: in my life it is.

Like people are leveraging 628 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 4: these tools and these technologies on a scale that you know, 629 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 4: you wudn't even know, right, They've just become part of 630 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 4: their lives and we won't even understand it until it's 631 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 4: all in front of us. 632 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: Well, you know what's going to happen.

But 672 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 4: you know, i'd like to think that somebody's spent lots 673 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 4: of money. 674 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: If I was right, Ray Heels, thanks for your time, man, 675 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: I hope we can talk again and good good insight. 676 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 4: Thanks, thank you very much for your time in having me, 677 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 4: and I'll look forward to our next conversation. Ken truly 678 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 4: there you go. 679 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: Hey, It's like anything else, you either embrace it or 680 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: you fight it. And I think it's foolish to fight it. 681 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: I think you should learn as much about it as possible, 682 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: so it becomes in essence a friend and not an 683 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: enemy to take your job away. Yeah, it changes on 684 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: a daily basis. But unless you're changing on a daily 685 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: basis and what you do, you ain't gaining your trailing. 686 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: The average American is in today. The great American is 687 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: out seven hundred w l W welcome back one eight 688 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: on this Wednesday, it's the average American in for the 689 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: great American. And it's supposed to be a big day 690 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court of these United States today. The 691 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court was supposed to issue a highly anticipated ruling 692 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: on the legality of the President's tariffs, but it was 693 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: not issued today. It was, as they say, sometimes punted. 694 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: Now will it be tomorrow. But this is the second 695 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: straight time that the Court is not released it's ruling 696 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: on these tariffs, second straight time that they have postponed it, 697 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: which is interesting for the Supreme Court. One would think 698 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: that there is at the very least some sort of 699 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: wrangling inside Scotis over the wording of what whatever the 700 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: decision it is. Maybe there's even some sort of wrangling 701 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: over or some handwringing over potential Supreme Court justices vote 702 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: don't know, but there's no ruling today, and that again 703 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: has thrown the economy you and me indirectly into limbo. Meanwhile, 704 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: we have the chairman of the Fed, Jerome Palell, claiming 705 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: that he's under indictment by the federal government, which was 706 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: a wrong choice of words by the Fed chair. There 707 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: is an inquiry going into whether or not he is 708 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: overspent and denied overspending a renovation of the building that 709 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: houses the Fed, and whether or not his testimony to 710 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: Congress that seemed to run concurrent to that might place 711 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: him in the crosshairs of contempt of Congress. Anyway, it 712 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: looks like pal is out. I mean, Trump wants him 713 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: out and he's gone. Pal seems to think this is retribution. 714 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: The market is a little queezy on this right now, 715 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: and there's even some thought that perhaps the economic future 716 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: of this country may weigh heavily on what the Supreme 717 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: Court of the United States does. Now you're saying, well, 718 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: what does that have to do with me? It has 719 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: everything to do with you and how much you may 720 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: be able to spend it on goods and services in 721 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: this calendar year, and what kind of bills you're going 722 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: to be looking at not just in terms of taxes, 723 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: but in terms of what you're going to pay for 724 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: these goods and services. I don't know the amount of 725 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: knowledge that it would take for me to analyze something 726 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: like that, but I do know somebody who is pretty 727 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: danged good at it, and I've had Steve Cotton on 728 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: the show many times, as recent as just before Christmas. 729 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: He is a financial strategist and policy expert and someone 730 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: it understands what all of this is, if not the 731 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: implications spring them on in Steve Cotton, how are you 732 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: on this glorious Wednesday? 733 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 5: Hey Ken, good morning, in good day to all my 734 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 5: friends in Ohio. 735 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: You bet morning where you are? Afternoon where I am? 736 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: Tell me? Are you surprised that Scotus did not rule 737 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: on this again today? What's going on in your opinion inside? 738 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 5: I'm not really surprised. Usually they make assignments on which 739 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 5: justice is going to write the majority opinion and who's 740 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 5: going to write any minority opinion. They had major testimony 741 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 5: yesterday on the girls or men and women's sports issue, 742 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 5: which took a great deal of time. They're juggling lots 743 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 5: of plates, so I wouldn't read too much into a 744 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 5: delay at this point. But the potential tariff ruling is 745 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 5: absolutely going to be huge for not only the president's 746 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 5: executive authority under AEPA that federal law going back to 747 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 5: seventy seven, but it's going to be huge in terms 748 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 5: of implement implications for tariff's tariff collections and whether they're 749 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 5: going to have to refund all that. 750 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. And as someone said on my show 751 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: last weekend, they just wind up splitting the baby on 752 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: this thing that you know, Trump gets to keep or 753 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: the United States gets to keep the tariffs already imposed, 754 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 1: but going forward there would be some sort of change 755 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 1: of policy as to what he can and can't do 756 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: under the Emergency Act, or they could make the administration 757 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: give the money back to all of these countries and 758 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: then go back and renegotiate on a case by case basis. 759 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: Let's just talk about the implication if indeed we got 760 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 1: to give the money back. That can't be good news 761 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: for me and everybody else walking around here in Cincinnati, 762 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: can it? Well? 763 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 5: Not necessarily. We're on the way to collecting approximately six 764 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 5: hundred billion dollars worth of tariff revenues, and the estimate 765 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 5: is close by the end of the year could be 766 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 5: eight hundred billion, with a trending line toward a trillion 767 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 5: dollars worth of new revenue. Now, the President has a 768 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 5: purpose in mind for this revenue. He would like to 769 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 5: give every American under a certain amount of income a 770 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 5: two thousand dollars tariff dividend check. This could be very 771 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 5: helpful to lower and middle income Americans. Ultimately, I think 772 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 5: the President wants to move us away from the income tax, 773 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 5: back to the system which we used to have in 774 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 5: this country, where we ran the government on the basis 775 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 5: of tariff revenues. And that's not as far fetched an 776 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 5: idea as you might think, because we've got a much 777 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 5: broader set of tariffs now than we ever did back 778 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 5: in the seventeen eighteen hundreds. But this Supreme Court ruling 779 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 5: is going to have huge ramifications not only for the 780 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 5: president's executive authority, but for him and his power to 781 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 5: use trade for good policy outcomes, which is what this 782 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 5: president's been trying to do. 783 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: Okay, let's hit the brakes there. I know what you're saying. 784 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: The President is not a fan of the irs. I 785 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: don't know too many regular folks that are a fan 786 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: of the IRS to begin with, but he's not a 787 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: fan of the IRS, and he certainly does want to 788 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: see us become more of a tariff based operating system 789 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: for this country. So I just want to go back 790 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: to that vision. The income tax, the federal income tax 791 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,240 Speaker 1: that we pay, is not something that was historically based 792 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: inside the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights 793 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: or what the founding fathers even envisioned. In fact, they 794 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: were trying to get us away from something like that. 795 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: But if there were, there was, indeed a tariff funded 796 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: federal government. Is it your opinion or could you envision 797 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: not having any federal tax that I would owe, you 798 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: would owe, or anybody would owe. 799 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 5: Well, I think it's a bridge too far to think 800 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 5: that we could do away with the income tax in 801 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 5: it's just as a concept, and tariff revenue is variable. 802 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 5: Tariff revenue depends on exporters, it depends on importers, it 803 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 5: depends on consumer and business choices. And I don't think 804 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 5: you can run a government on varying levels of revenue 805 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 5: from one fiscal year to the next. So there will 806 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 5: be some problems with that approach. But I think the 807 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 5: other thing that President Trump would really like to do 808 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 5: is dramatically reduce our federal deficit, which is running close 809 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 5: to a trillion dollars and our thirty six to thirty 810 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 5: seven trillion dollar federal debt. I think he's got strategies 811 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 5: and plans way on beyond where we are talking now, 812 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 5: and the tariff issue is just one of the tools 813 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 5: to get there. But if the Supreme Court limits the 814 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 5: president's tariffing authority, it will not have any positive effects 815 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 5: for our economy or our government, or are even our 816 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 5: ability to deal with our trading partners. 817 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: And to say nothing of the fact that this should 818 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: be a matter for Congress. It shouldn't be a matter 819 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,919 Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court. And I don't you know, again, 820 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not. I'm not of legal mind, 821 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: so I don't know whether or not they had any 822 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: business sticking their nose into this. It certainly was in 823 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: other courts on the way up to them. But be 824 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: that as it may, it's there. So again to go 825 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 1: back to my original question, if indeed the Supreme Court 826 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: shoots this thing down and they say no, no, you 827 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: can't do that, what kind of plan B is that? 828 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: Because there's no way that that won't adversely affect the 829 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: everyday guy at some point, somehow somewhere. So do you 830 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: think they have Plan B in the works in the 831 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: administration if this happens. 832 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 5: It's a good question. I don't know whether they do 833 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 5: or not. You know, there are two parts to the 834 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 5: terriff issue. One issue is, you know, setting two tariffs 835 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 5: on imported goods. The other issue that hasn't gotten much 836 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 5: attention is the president's ability to push our trading partners 837 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 5: into lowering their non tariff barriers. And let me give 838 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 5: you an example. Countries can say, we want to export 839 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 5: our products to you, but we're going to put on 840 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 5: so many rules and regulations and clarifying characteristics of what 841 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 5: you want to export to us that we're going to 842 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,760 Speaker 5: make it practically impossible for you to sell your widgets 843 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 5: in our country. And Trump has been trying to push 844 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 5: these non tariff barriers down as well. That is a 845 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 5: more complex issue than the teriffs because it involves domestic 846 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 5: politics of those countries and those and the quality of 847 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 5: leadership in those countries. 848 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 4: But if. 849 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 5: The Supreme Court rules against the president's power to address 850 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 5: tariffs under the AIPA Statute, which Congress passed back in 851 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 5: the seventies. It would effectively knock his legs out from 852 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 5: under him. I don't know that he's got a plan B. 853 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 5: I think they're keeping their fingers crossed and just praying 854 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 5: that even if there's a mixed ruling from the Supreme Court, 855 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 5: it won't deprive him of a very powerful and so 856 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 5: far very beneficial and non inflationary trade tool. Right. 857 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is fascinating again. At two day delay, 858 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: you don't read a lot into that. It could be 859 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: just you know, who is over writing the opinion, might 860 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: have had the flu or whatever, and it could be 861 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: anything that's delaying it. But it's eventually going to get out. 862 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: Steve Cotton, financial strategist and policy expert, our guest, we're inundated. 863 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: It seems like every day with some sort of financial 864 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: indicator or what you know. Core inflation today was the PPI. 865 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to get too deep into the weeds 866 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: what every everything means, but the PPI today producer price 867 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:04,240 Speaker 1: index that was released PPI, and that doesn't include food, energy, 868 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: things that are wacky. They'll be volatile, but the core 869 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: PPI it grew big in October, not so big in November, 870 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 1: but it was up in November. Take that with GDP, 871 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: which was an astounding number five point two percent for 872 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: I think it was second or third quarter this year, 873 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: and then look at the numbers of jobs created and 874 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: jobs created and unemployment claims. Where is it right now? 875 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: Where is the economy right now? Because it seems there's 876 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: a huge disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street. Where 877 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: is this thing or is it just flopping around so 878 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: bad nobody knows exactly where it is. 879 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,760 Speaker 5: I think the Trump administration in the Congress, working together, 880 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 5: have put some amazing things in place that are going 881 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 5: to prove very beneficial to the economy and to the 882 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 5: financial markets going forward. In twenty twenty six, they reauthorized 883 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 5: the president's twenty seventeen tax cuts plus expanded it with 884 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 5: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and they 885 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 5: gave every Social Security recipient under a certain income level 886 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 5: a six thousand dollars tax credit against their Social Security income. 887 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 5: That means they pay six thousand dollars less in taxes 888 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 5: on their Social Security income. That's big for low income 889 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:30,439 Speaker 5: and people on fixed incomes. The trade stuff is having 890 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 5: a huge positive impact without much inflation impact so far. 891 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 5: You know, inflation ticked up from like two point six 892 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 5: to two point seven, which is not very much. We 893 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 5: are still considered to be at full employment with a 894 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 5: ford to four point two percent unemployment rate. The signals 895 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 5: are good. Even though hiring has been slow. Companies have 896 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 5: held back looking at the trade situation. I was in 897 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 5: Washington during the Reagan years. I watched what he did 898 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 5: and rebuilding the defense budget, cutting taxes, cutting the budget, 899 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 5: cutting the regulations. And let me tell you what I 900 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 5: have seen this administration do in one short year working 901 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 5: with the Congress is potentially one hundred times bigger than 902 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 5: what Reagan did. And what Reagan did had positive economic 903 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 5: effects that went all the way into the Clinton years. 904 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 5: What Trump is putting in place could be one hundred 905 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 5: times bigger to the positive. 906 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: Wow, well, Steve, this is more palace intrigue, I think 907 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: to most people than it is anything else. But FED 908 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: Chair Jerome Powell is under federal criminal investigation to this 909 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: two and a half billion dollar renovation to the Central 910 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: Banks headquarters. And then his testimony in front of Congress, 911 00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: which which would probably run concurrent to what he had 912 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: been saying in front of them vis a vis what 913 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: apparently this building renovation costs. I say palace intrigue because 914 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: for Palette may be a very big thing, but to 915 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 1: you and to me, it's I don't know what it is. 916 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 1: Because Pal's out anyway, and you know Trump is going 917 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: to kick him out. He thinks it's retribution from Trump 918 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: for that, and also because he's not or has not 919 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 1: cut interest rates to Trump's liking. The market's all over 920 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: the place. Since this was revealed on Sunday. How much 921 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 1: of an issue is that for the markets? For my 922 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,240 Speaker 1: four to one K for things like that, Because anything 923 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: other than change is good, this would appear to be change. 924 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: I mean, is it a big deal other than just 925 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: palace intrigue to the average person. 926 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 5: Well, let's let's look at what happened. Annapoline Luna, who 927 00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,320 Speaker 5: is a congresswoman from Florida. She's a republic and she 928 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:05,839 Speaker 5: sits on the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, made 929 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 5: a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, implying that 930 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 5: Chairman Powell had not been truthful in his testimony before 931 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:19,320 Speaker 5: Congress on the renovations to two Federal Reserve buildings. They're 932 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 5: working on two buildings. The initial estimate cost estimate to 933 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 5: the renovations was one point nine billion dollars. It's now 934 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 5: two point five billion dollars, and went. 935 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think we lost Steve. Think Steve dropped out there. 936 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was two point five billion and now 937 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: it's two point five billion. It was one point nine billion. 938 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: Paulina is I believe her district is Tampa. I'm let 939 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: me let me get you. We lost you there. Per second, 940 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: You've got the numbers out two point five as opposed 941 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: to one point nine. So if you could pick it 942 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: up from there. 943 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 5: And President Trump went over there and you know, with 944 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 5: the TV cameras, toured the facilities, looked at the renovation 945 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 5: and construction blueprints. If there's anything this president knows its construction. 946 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 5: His estimate was the real end up cost could easily 947 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 5: go to four billion dollars on two relatively small buildings. 948 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,720 Speaker 5: Now for them to make a criminal referral to the DOJ, 949 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 5: and Trump was not involved in that. This came from 950 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 5: the congresswoman from Florida. That tells me there may be 951 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 5: more to this than just politics. So I would urge 952 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 5: listeners to withhold judgment until there's an investigation. Basically, DOJ 953 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 5: has issued a federal criminal subpoena to Pall to testify 954 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 5: before a grand jury. And if his testimony before the 955 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 5: grand jury difference from what he told the Congress, he's 956 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 5: in real trouble. 957 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to yeah, exactly tell 958 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: the truth. And it looked like even when that TV 959 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: the TV camera was there and the two of them 960 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: were standing there, it looked like he got taken back 961 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: by surprise that Trump actually had the receipts, which it 962 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 1: made for some good television. Steve. Always great catching up 963 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: with you, Steve Cotton Cotton Wealth Management Associates, and I 964 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 1: have a sneaking suspicious suspicion you and I'll be visiting 965 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 1: again down the road, Steve.

There have been six popes and three Steeler coaches. 984 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 1: Well, some would have thought there that Chuck Nole was 985 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: a pope, Hope Chuck, and probably some people thought that 986 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 1: coach Kawer was probably one. Two. Do you want to 987 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 1: know a little something here, a little trivia question?

Okay, 998 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 1: how do you think Mike Tomlin would play in Cincinnati 999 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 1: as the head coach of the Bengals. 1000 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 6: I think he'd do a good job with the offense. 1001 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 6: I mean, he'd have a heck of a lot better offense. 1002 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 1: Really look at him, the collection of men in the 1003 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 1: depth of that talent. Thank you. You know, you know, 1004 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin actually worked in Cincinnati. He was on I 1005 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: believe it was Rex Ryan's defensive defensive staff at the 1006 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati. 1007 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 6: But now, I mean, he's not gonna He said he's 1008 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 6: not going to coach in twenty twenty. So they got 1009 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,720 Speaker 6: an opening at Fox with Jimmy Johnson gone and Matt Ryan. 1010 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 6: His last show on the NFL today was Sunday He's 1011 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,360 Speaker 6: gonna what be the president of the Atlanta Falcons. 1012 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: Right there's there are going to be some coaching opportunities 1013 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 1: that are going to open up in Tampa. The Tampa 1014 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,240 Speaker 1: guy's not is not long for the world, Todd Bowles, 1015 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 1: and that's it. That's a plum job right there. But 1016 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean, does Tomlin do TV for a for a 1017 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: while or what? Yeah, he'll park himself on TV for 1018 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: a year and then there'll be some other thing that 1019 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 1: will open up. What all these coaches want over and above, 1020 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 1: you know the coach is they want control of the roster, 1021 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,319 Speaker 1: right and they don't have control of the roster right now. 1022 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,320 Speaker 1: He didn't at least and his and and and the 1023 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,800 Speaker 1: other thing that Tomlin had is he had a winning 1024 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: record every year. They kept tell me he's never had 1025 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: a losing record. He's never had a losing record. Will 1026 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 1: be cause of that, you never get to draft to 1027 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 1: the top of the draft where all the great quarterbacks correct. Yeah, 1028 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 1: so they lose Roethlisberger and they still haven't replaced him, 1029 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 1: and yet he's he's milk and wins with you know, 1030 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: like justin fields, for God's sake. So I'm I'm I'm 1031 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: wondering if he had the opportunity. Now I'm not saying 1032 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: he does. I don't think he does. Pretty evident he doesn't. 1033 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 1: But if he had the opportunity to coach the Cincinnati Bengals. 1034 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 1: Do you think the town would accept that? The film 1035 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,839 Speaker 1: would say so. Yeah. I mean, if he wins, if 1036 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 1: he believe me, he wins, I put a statue up. 1037 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,919 Speaker 1: Well that's my that's my point. That's my point. 1038 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 6: He got, you know, if he has a few. I mean, 1039 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 6: he's been a winner for nineteen seasons. 1040 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 1: I think even with understanding the popularity of Harbor right right, 1041 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,920 Speaker 1: and he's literally the most popular candidate out there for 1042 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: the head coach openings, I think Tomlin would become the 1043 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 1: number one. He would be the number one candidate if 1044 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,000 Speaker 1: he chose to stay in coaching right now, that's true. 1045 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 1: I agree with him. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not 1046 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: with the fan base here. I know it's not a 1047 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: popular opinion, but I won't stopped caring what other people think. Seg. 1048 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I think Mike Tomlin is a 1049 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: phenomenal coach. I really do. I agree. 1050 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 6: I agree Ken ken Brew the STO Report US of 1051 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 6: proud service every local Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers 1052 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,359 Speaker 6: Tamestar quality you could feel in beautiful Western hills called 1053 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,879 Speaker 6: Durbin Heating and Cooling at five one, three, five nine, 1054 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 6: eight eighty four forty nine, or or go to Durbin 1055 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 6: Heating and Cooling dot com. 1056 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,840 Speaker 1: But what happens when you go there, segh. 1057 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 6: They will fix your heating and air conditioning like Brett 1058 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 6: Durbin does excellently. 1059 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 1: Does Brett answer the phone and no, Sue?

They Miami, Vanderbilt, Arizona, Nebraska. Man, make us 1070 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 6: just an enlightened comment here, if that's possible, go ahead. 1071 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 6: We all know Travis Steele couldn't get out of his 1072 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 6: own way at Savior, right right right. It seems to 1073 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 6: me that Travis Steele was a man made for nil 1074 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 6: and portal. Now, obviously, the NIO money at Miami's not great, 1075 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 6: it's a it's a max school, but it's it's probably 1076 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 6: not bad. But the portal, it seems like you look 1077 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 6: at Oxford, you look at the history there and you 1078 00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 6: look at a guy like Steel who's a you know, 1079 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,439 Speaker 6: a good basketball coach. 1080 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 1: It was out over his skis a little bit at Xavier, right. 1081 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 1: I think this whole era of transfer nil and all, 1082 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 1: I think it was made for a guy like Travis Steele. 1083 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 1: And when you mix in his ability to coach and 1084 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: his staff that he has there, I think is no 1085 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,439 Speaker 1: small reason why a lot of these basketball players would 1086 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: look at hey do I what do I want to 1087 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 1: finish my career? Or where do I want to go 1088 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,360 Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, not even taking into 1089 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: consideration about recruiting. I think he's a guy. I think 1090 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: he's a guy that absolutely this whole, this whole college 1091 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 1: sports era that were is he was tailor made for this, 1092 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the reasons why he's succeeding. 1093 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: I agree with you there. I mean, I'm just saying 1094 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 1: they're on a roll. 1095 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 6: And it's it's an outrage that they're not in the 1096 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 6: AP top twenty five. Yet, you know what said, I 1097 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 6: don't care what conference you're in. If you're eighteen and 1098 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 6: zero's you got to get in there. 1099 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 1: Right You're you're you're relying on other people's opinions about you, 1100 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 1: And you know what, do you really care what other 1101 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: people's opinions are of you? 1102 00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 4: No? 1103 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 6: No, Big twelve of action tonight ken Brew at fifth 1104 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 6: third Arena right there in beautiful Clifton, twelve and one 1105 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 6: Colorado Buffaloes in town to meet our Bearcats six point 1106 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 6: thirty right here on seven hundred W ball. That'd be 1107 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 6: The Cats are eight and eight and zero to three 1108 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 6: and the Big twelve, Well, they're do for a little 1109 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 6: change of fortune here, aren't they? 1110 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: I would hope. So they've they've been playing, they've been 1111 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 1: losing close games. Yes, tells you that they probably they 1112 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: don't know how at this point to close out a 1113 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: game correct. And I don't know if that's because they 1114 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: don't have a go to guy, or they don't have 1115 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: the right plays drawn up, or the other guy's just 1116 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: simply that much better. But they seem to have trouble 1117 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: closing out games, and that's disturbing. I think if you're 1118 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: a UC fan. 1119 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 6: Because I think on the horizon you've got Iowa State 1120 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:49,800 Speaker 6: and Arizona coming up next. 1121 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,400 Speaker 1: It's the best basketball conference in America, and I kid 1122 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 1: could put on you could put on two deadbeat teams 1123 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 1: from from the Big twelve, and that might be the 1124 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 1: best game of the night on television anywhere. Butler takes 1125 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 1: on Xavier. 1126 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 6: Thad Mada comes back to town, Big East Place tonight 1127 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 6: at Cintas Center, six o'clock on the home of Dale 1128 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 6: Donovan fifty five KRC. 1129 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 1: See thad Mada right, Yep.

There is a man in thad Mada that 1133 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 1: disproved that particular theory in that book, that's for sure. 1134 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 6: Kentucky Wildcats Big Blue Nation is on the road tonight 1135 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:40,160 Speaker 6: up against LSU at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty.

Okay, 1186 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 1: so they're out there, they're dancing around. I don't know 1187 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: what the hell they're dancing to whatever, Mozart or whatever. Yeah, 1188 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,160 Speaker 1: I would go to every National Hockey League team and 1189 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 1: I would say for the Olympics, you have to allow 1190 01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 1: your team goon to go to the Olympics. And then 1191 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 1: on each ice dancing Paris, it's out there. The goal 1192 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,440 Speaker 1: is not to dance and do they have to skate 1193 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 1: away from the goon because if the goon catches them, 1194 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, all he'll get that. 1195 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,160 Speaker 6: Get that what that six seven defenseman from their New 1196 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 6: York Rangers? 1197 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: That that big guy. So what you would have as 1198 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 1: you would have elements of ballet with ice dancing, you 1199 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 1: would also have elements of the W W E R 1200 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 1: the elements of hockey. Now you tell me people wouldn't 1201 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: tune in to watch that. I would think, So, yeah, 1202 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 1: you get the guy who's on that team, all he 1203 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: wants to do is beat the Jesus out of somebody, 1204 01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,120 Speaker 1: and he's an Olympian. And then these two ice dancers, 1205 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 1: if they're so good, they got to dance away from them. 1206 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,240 Speaker 6: Another thing I like is the downhill skiing. I like 1207 01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 6: downhill ski man. What was that Lindsey Vaughn Lindsay was 1208 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 6: getting hurt?

Some figures have at least three 1256 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 1: thousand killed and more than ten thousand arrested as people 1257 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: are rising up against the Iranian dictatorship, the Ayatola and 1258 01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 1: what appears to be an economy that is in a 1259 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 1: free fall. And now we're told that President Trump is 1260 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 1: weighing his options because Trump wants to get involved. This 1261 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,920 Speaker 1: is going to be tricky for the president. It's not 1262 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 1: like what he did last summer with regards to the 1263 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: nuclear facilities. The leaders that are behind the atrocities in 1264 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Iran have scattered, apparently, and so one target or two 1265 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 1: targets may not be plausible to take the leadership out, 1266 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: even more so where they've scattered two our populated areas, 1267 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: and you have to be extremely careful not to make 1268 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 1: an attack against a leader and take out some of 1269 01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 1: the very people that are rising up in protest against 1270 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 1: what that leader and his administration in Iran have done 1271 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 1: now for over forty years. I don't have to tell 1272 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 1: my next guest all about that, because she knows she 1273 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,720 Speaker 1: was a political prisoner in Iran. Fifteen years old and 1274 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 1: during the nineteen seventy five Iran Revolution, Suran Nehreman was 1275 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 1: arrested for her activism and she became one of the 1276 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 1: youngest political prisoners of her time, enduring severe torture inside 1277 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: a prison and some of the things she witnessed first 1278 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 1: hand were absolutely, absolutely atrocious. Upon a release, she has 1279 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 1: relocated to the United States, but the fight for her 1280 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: country in Iran still continues, and it's great that she 1281 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,400 Speaker 1: has given us some of her time here today on 1282 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 1: seven hundred w Well Wn, Sharon Nareman, How are you 1283 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,639 Speaker 1: on this glorious Wednesday, Good. 1284 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 7: Afternoon, Thank you.

How many years? 1288 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:11,080 Speaker 5: Two years? 1289 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 7: I was in prison for two years. 1290 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 1: Yes, And you were in prison because you were part 1291 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:20,200 Speaker 1: of a pro democracy movement. The shaw was had already 1292 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 1: fallen or was about to fall, and you were working 1293 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,880 Speaker 1: as a pro or one of a large number of 1294 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 1: people that wanted Iran to move to a democracy. It 1295 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 1: did not, obviously, it moved to a brutal dictatorship, and 1296 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: so you were thrown in jail two years and tell 1297 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,759 Speaker 1: me what you saw when you were in jail. 1298 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 7: Well, actually, I was arrested after the fall of Shaw 1299 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 7: and I had witnessed the revolution of nineteen seventy eight 1300 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 7: seventy nine. Then in two years after, when there was 1301 01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:01,439 Speaker 7: a still some semi shadow of the democracy still was 1302 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,639 Speaker 7: going on, I was arrested because I was a supporter 1303 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:09,639 Speaker 7: of major Dinnami Kay at my house, no other reasons, 1304 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 7: because my family was very well known in the neighborhood 1305 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 7: and they attacked our house and they arrested me. And 1306 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,639 Speaker 7: unfortunately I had to not only go through torture myself, 1307 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 7: but also I think the worst part was to witness 1308 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 7: what happened in prison. I was forced to grow up 1309 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:38,720 Speaker 7: quickly and to tolerate pain because not only I had 1310 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 7: to see friends and family members, classmates or cellmates that 1311 01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:50,760 Speaker 7: have been severely tortured, but also had to go through 1312 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:55,800 Speaker 7: that nightly executions in Iran. Every afternoon they called out 1313 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,439 Speaker 7: a list and they would ask them to pack up, 1314 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,480 Speaker 7: and we knew what that meant. It meant the executions. 1315 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,840 Speaker 7: Back then they used firing a squad. So when these 1316 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 7: people and when they left each timon saying goodbye, knowing 1317 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,920 Speaker 7: that that person is not going to be alive in 1318 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 7: few hours. That was the worst thing for me. I 1319 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 7: cannot tell you how many times my friends told me, 1320 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:28,200 Speaker 7: don't forget me and continue my work. And and you 1321 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 7: know I had to go through that. They would kill 1322 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 7: them by firing a squad and then they would do 1323 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 7: the cook the graund, which is the last shot on 1324 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:41,320 Speaker 7: the head. So that's how we knew how many people 1325 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 7: were executed each night, seventy eighty one hundred, three hundred 1326 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 7: and then because they. 1327 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 1: Were all because they were they were they believed in 1328 01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 1: democracy and the people that were doing this, these carrying 1329 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: out these particulars assassinations murders was at the behest of 1330 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 1: the Ayatola, the Iotola homemade correct. 1331 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 7: Yes, yes, he gave a fatwa to get rid of 1332 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 7: any voices that it was for freedom and democracy. You know, 1333 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,040 Speaker 7: thirteen year old, what the thirteen year old could have 1334 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 7: done just because her brother was a supporter of Emmy 1335 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 7: kay or a mother. I cannot tell you how many 1336 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:36,200 Speaker 7: times mother were executed because after severe tortures, they were 1337 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 7: not willing to disclose to the regime where their three 1338 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 7: children were hiding or pregnant women. One of my my 1339 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 7: cellmates was pregnant when she was executed. You know that 1340 01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,680 Speaker 7: the exact thing that is happening right now. What do 1341 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,599 Speaker 7: you think the young people in Iran want right now? 1342 01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 7: They want liberty, they want freedom, they want democracy, and 1343 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 7: they want the human dignity of having a good life. 1344 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and you know sharing. The other thing too 1345 01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:14,120 Speaker 1: is the economy there has been so isolated that people 1346 01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 1: are living impoverished. I guess this began as a quote 1347 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,240 Speaker 1: unquote market uprising. Some of the people that operated the 1348 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,760 Speaker 1: various markets in and around Tehran, they began this and 1349 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it became a populist movement. The 1350 01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 1: economy in Iran, it's in free fall because it's been 1351 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 1: isolated by most of the rest of the free world. 1352 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 1: Am I right? 1353 01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 7: Well, it's also because there is a big dismanagement in 1354 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:51,679 Speaker 7: Iran and also the IERGC controlling the whole buzzaar and market. 1355 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,080 Speaker 7: So anyone who wants to have any company they have 1356 01:13:55,320 --> 01:14:00,240 Speaker 7: to have a part there from IRGC members. And then 1357 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 7: also many of them have stole literally stole money from 1358 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:11,639 Speaker 7: the banks, from the investments, and they brought it outside 1359 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 7: of your own they have believe it or not there 1360 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 7: or they have investment properties and investment companies that right 1361 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:23,639 Speaker 7: now operate even in the heart of US and Europe. 1362 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 7: So it's what you can imagine the amount of corruption 1363 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 7: that is going on inside of your own and people 1364 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:38,840 Speaker 7: are not capable of providing food for their children. If 1365 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:44,840 Speaker 7: they could buy five breads today, tomorrow they would be 1366 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,479 Speaker 7: able to work buy one. Somebody told me from Iran 1367 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,800 Speaker 7: when I contacted them, they told me that, you know, 1368 01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 7: yesterday I could buy five breads, today I'm just buying 1369 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 7: one bread because that's how much the percentage of the 1370 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 7: inflation is going on. So all of that, you have 1371 01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,680 Speaker 7: to consider all of that. And you're right, it has 1372 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 7: started with the economy reason. But because of the pressure 1373 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 7: that you know, the suppression that decision is has done 1374 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 7: towards its citizens, it got to a point that people 1375 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:27,080 Speaker 7: cannot take it and they revoked. Look at it right now, 1376 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 7: although we are seeing all these bodies piled up, but 1377 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,920 Speaker 7: people know that they have to go out and they 1378 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,599 Speaker 7: have to fight the regime, knowing that many of them 1379 01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,599 Speaker 7: are not going to be alive anymore. 1380 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,800 Speaker 1: Well, for example, for example, there are. There have been 1381 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:49,560 Speaker 1: over ten thousand arrests, three thousand killed. There there is 1382 01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 1: a very fear that is growing that another detained Iranian 1383 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: that has gotten a lot of attention in this country 1384 01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 1: Earth and the Sultani maybe next to be executed, perhaps 1385 01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:04,799 Speaker 1: as early at some point today. So it's not stopping. 1386 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:11,000 Speaker 1: That's the one thing about dictatorships and iron you know, 1387 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 1: iron fisted rulers, is they will stop in nothing to 1388 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:17,759 Speaker 1: keep power. So what has to happen now, in your opinion, 1389 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 1: so these executions and these arrests stop, what should the 1390 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,160 Speaker 1: United States and your opinion be, what should President Trump 1391 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,840 Speaker 1: do now to have not stop it completely but curtail it. 1392 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:35,559 Speaker 7: Well, Actually, as Zom set up correctly, very correctly, decision 1393 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,439 Speaker 7: is not going to stop at killing. We have reports 1394 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 7: that this twelve twenty thousand. Somebody told me yesterday that 1395 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,559 Speaker 7: from the news that she has is about fifty thousand. 1396 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:46,280 Speaker 5: We don't know. 1397 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 7: We don't know until everything is over and the internet 1398 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 7: is open back up and then we can find out more. However, 1399 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 7: what can be done is did you know that the 1400 01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:02,680 Speaker 7: Iranian of Iranian Country Office, they have offices in the 1401 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:07,160 Speaker 7: DC and in New York shut down their offices, Expel 1402 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,559 Speaker 7: them immediately, don't even give them two hours. Tell them 1403 01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 7: that you have to live our land right now, and 1404 01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:19,879 Speaker 7: freeze all their assets and ask our allies to freeze 1405 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 7: the assets of i Irigy is not still in the 1406 01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,479 Speaker 7: terrorist list in Europe, so they have to put them 1407 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 7: in the terrorist lists. They have to shut down all 1408 01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:35,480 Speaker 7: the embassies, all the lobby firms, all the uh the organizers, 1409 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:39,640 Speaker 7: different organizations that Iranian regime have kept making to be 1410 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:44,759 Speaker 7: here to deploy its proxies in America, Canada and Europe. 1411 01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 7: So all of them they need to be expelled immediately 1412 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 7: from from our countries and also they should be they 1413 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 7: then they should regime get the message that the West 1414 01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 7: is done with them, nor negotiation and no more tom right. 1415 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 1: That would be a very easy thing for this country 1416 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,960 Speaker 1: to do. Unfortunately, there were previous administrations Obama and Biden 1417 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,719 Speaker 1: that wanted to pay Iran off with palettes of cash, 1418 01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:18,680 Speaker 1: and that only fueled the terror that continues in Iran. Absolutely, 1419 01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:20,760 Speaker 1: I think that would be a very easy thing for 1420 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 1: them to do. And Trump has got to be very 1421 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,800 Speaker 1: careful about what he does from a military standpoint. But 1422 01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering in your opinion, how long can these 1423 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 1: protests go on if you have you know, we don't know, 1424 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 1: and what we know is at least ten thousand arrested 1425 01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,040 Speaker 1: and at least three thousand killed. How long do you 1426 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 1: think it could go on? 1427 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 7: Well, people and they leave, you know some video perhaps 1428 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 7: seen some videos that they say a young man for instances, 1429 01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,560 Speaker 7: I'm going out because I have nothing to lose. I 1430 01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 7: rather to die, that Iran would be free as well. 1431 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,800 Speaker 7: Other people have the opportunity to leave. And Iranian people 1432 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,879 Speaker 7: know that if they are go back to their houses, 1433 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,880 Speaker 7: decision is going to even kill more and more. So 1434 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,760 Speaker 7: they know either they have to go, they have to 1435 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,720 Speaker 7: win or the regime wins, so they have to be 1436 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,919 Speaker 7: out there. That's why this sad last night in Tehran 1437 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:18,479 Speaker 7: a huge generally by Iran, by the Terranists people in 1438 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 7: living in Tehran and shouting death to harmony. Also the 1439 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 7: footage that we see in morgues that when people go 1440 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 7: to pick their the body of their loved ones, they 1441 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,040 Speaker 7: they shout death to how many that it means that 1442 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:40,640 Speaker 7: Iranian people are resilient. They are fed up with decision 1443 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:42,960 Speaker 7: and they know they have to go to the end. 1444 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 7: And if anything wants to be done, you have to 1445 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:52,080 Speaker 7: have a political game behind it. Iranian people have to 1446 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 7: be able to choose their own leader. 1447 01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,839 Speaker 1: And that would be my next question. If how many falls, 1448 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: what happens. There are some that would like to see 1449 01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:06,519 Speaker 1: it go back to the ruling class of the Shaw family. 1450 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,479 Speaker 1: There are others that want nothing to do with the 1451 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 1: Shaw I mean, what would be the best course of 1452 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:15,200 Speaker 1: what would what would be best for Iran if indeed 1453 01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,519 Speaker 1: how many falls and there is a new government, Because 1454 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,679 Speaker 1: I would think if he falls, there would be chaos 1455 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 1: in the country. Any country would be in chaos if 1456 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 1: their government fell and the leader's left. What would be 1457 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,880 Speaker 1: the best course of action for Iran if that happened? 1458 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 7: I think I think we had this admminisation and everyone 1459 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 7: has to look in to see what organization has already 1460 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:42,160 Speaker 7: established an infrastructure inside of Iran National Council and Resistance 1461 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 7: of Iran has been saying it for past few years 1462 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 7: that they are having thousands and thousands of you resistance. 1463 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 7: You need see Iran that are ready to fight back. 1464 01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 7: So we need to recognize the rights to fight back 1465 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 7: because as you saidhip is not going to go easily. 1466 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 7: You have to fight back. You have to liberate the country. 1467 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 7: We have to have the National Liberation Army inside of Iran, 1468 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,439 Speaker 7: and we do have it. And I think that in 1469 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,200 Speaker 7: a session should look and see who has that infrasecture 1470 01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 7: already and also who has the real plan. National Council 1471 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 7: of Resistance had the ten point plan over fifteen sixteen 1472 01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 7: years and also it has a plan of how to 1473 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 7: go through the changes. I can tell you one thing 1474 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 7: with the Reza palaty Resa Paladi is a recipe for 1475 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 7: a civil war in Iran and that would spill over 1476 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 7: to the region. Why because more than seventy persons of Iran, 1477 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:51,519 Speaker 7: based on the survey that they did themselves, pro Parladi 1478 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,520 Speaker 7: people did it. Seventy persons of Iranian are rejecting monarchy. 1479 01:21:56,040 --> 01:22:00,679 Speaker 7: We do want one person comes in and decide for everything. 1480 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,799 Speaker 7: We don't want to change one dictator, trade one detail 1481 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 7: dictator for another one. We want a republic of Iran. 1482 01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,439 Speaker 7: We want freedom. We want our people to be able 1483 01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 7: to go to the ballots and give their votes a 1484 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:20,639 Speaker 7: vote and decide who they want to support. So I think, yeah, 1485 01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:21,799 Speaker 7: he's the recipeople. 1486 01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: No, I think I think what you want is democracy. 1487 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 1: You want you want to be able to rule your 1488 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,400 Speaker 1: own destiny with your own people who have a common 1489 01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,719 Speaker 1: goal and a common good for the state of Iran. 1490 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,639 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Charen Merriman, 1491 01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,600 Speaker 1: How did you get out of How did you're a 1492 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,160 Speaker 1: political prisoner there for two years? How did you get 1493 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 1: out of prison and get to the United States? 1494 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 7: The only thing when I think back is miracle. I 1495 01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:52,680 Speaker 7: came as a refugee to America. I landed as a 1496 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:56,799 Speaker 7: refuge I'm your typical refugee with eighty dollars in her pocket, 1497 01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 7: but I had relative living. 1498 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, get out of prison. Who let you out if 1499 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 1: you're in prison? Somebody? 1500 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:09,200 Speaker 7: Well, because because when I was arrested, everything was you know, 1501 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 7: so we had a little bit of democracy, and so 1502 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,120 Speaker 7: they didn't have any base to keep me. So after 1503 01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,719 Speaker 7: two years, and I have to say, my mother worked 1504 01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 7: very hard, meeting anyone that she could meet and telling them, 1505 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 7: you know, she was just sixteen years or sixteen years 1506 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 7: old when you arrested. She didn't do anything. And finally, 1507 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:36,599 Speaker 7: through pressure and also some bribe moneys, I was released 1508 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 7: because they had literally I had done nothing. They arrested 1509 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 7: me in my house. You know I was, you know, 1510 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 7: it was a Friday morning at home. So I was arrested, 1511 01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 7: so I was released. I wasn't allowed to leave the 1512 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,320 Speaker 7: country for free years or five years, and then again 1513 01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 7: through some network that I found, I was able to 1514 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 7: live herround and I landed in America. 1515 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,439 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what. You're a strong voice for Iran, 1516 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: what it's going through right now, and what I think 1517 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:11,840 Speaker 1: most normal thinking people would want for your country going forward. 1518 01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 1: Keep fighting the good fight. I know that the NCRII 1519 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,839 Speaker 1: the National Council of Resistance of Iran, is very strong 1520 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 1: with deep roots here in the United States. And hopefully 1521 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 1: someday you can return along with whomever is now in 1522 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 1: charge of Iran once how many falls, And I think 1523 01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 1: you will eventually, because the best uprisings are the ones 1524 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,320 Speaker 1: that happen inside a country, not from outside forces. And 1525 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 1: maybe at that point, Sharon Nerriman, we can visit again. 1526 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 1: But for your time today, we thank you. 1527 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,920 Speaker 7: Stay well, Okay, thank you very much for giving me 1528 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,920 Speaker 7: the opportunity, and hopefully we see Google go to your 1529 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,600 Speaker 7: own and host you there.

We've just as coaches spent our time 1535 01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:09,120 Speaker 1: game planning. 1536 01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 2: Oh hello, quiet, and I'm broadcasting. 1537 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:28,719 Speaker 1: God seg Yes, Ken Brogs. I have a theoretical question 1538 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,439 Speaker 1: for you. Go ahead, This is about green Is this 1539 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 1: about Greenland? 1540 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:33,680 Speaker 4: No? 1541 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 1: But have you ever been there? Flew over it? Oh? 1542 01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 2: You did? 1543 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, we went to France in ninety two for the Olympics. 1544 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 1: But you flew over Greenland. 1545 01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:42,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1546 01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 6: You take that big arc and you roll right into Frankfurt, Germany. 1547 01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,120 Speaker 6: I would like to see Greenland, you know. I went 1548 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 6: to Iceland last summer. Yeah, but Iceland has greenery and 1549 01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 6: Greenland has iceery. 1550 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 1: Correct. So I don't know. I don't understand the naming 1551 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: of these places because Greenland should be really called Iceland 1552 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:08,320 Speaker 1: and Iceland Greenland. Well maybe that's what they're arguing today 1553 01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,760 Speaker 1: about the you know, you know, at the end of 1554 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:16,600 Speaker 1: the day, it's always it's always about nomenclature. Correct. Now, 1555 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 1: what's your question? Well, I have a theoretical question for you. Okay, 1556 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:24,200 Speaker 1: go ahead, Okay, theoretically, in the history of Cincinnati sports 1557 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,280 Speaker 1: that you've been around for now, I know you can't 1558 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,600 Speaker 1: address this, Pat, and it's same with me too. In 1559 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 1: the history of Cincinnati sports, Yes, sir, was there one 1560 01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 1: player that you wished either the Bengals or the Reds 1561 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 1: had pursued when that particular player was in his prime 1562 01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,639 Speaker 1: and available for either trade or free agent science. 1563 01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,760 Speaker 6: I wish that Ken Griffy Junior didn't have as many, 1564 01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 6: you know, injuries that he had, but probably this year 1565 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:05,200 Speaker 6: Kyle Barber, So you're keeping his prime, you're keeping well, 1566 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 6: I don't know, that's a that's a that's a good one. 1567 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,639 Speaker 1: I mean this Reds are is that everybody angles Reds 1568 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 1: are Bengals that they they obviously did not make a 1569 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 1: play for but could have. Ooh, that could be anybody 1570 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 1: with the Bengals. Now see, I'm just I'm just saying, yeah, 1571 01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm throwing this out, not not having any particular answer 1572 01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 1: that you know, I thought would be philosophically, you know, 1573 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:36,559 Speaker 1: but I'm just you know, the one player in my opinion, Yes, sir, 1574 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 1: I wish the Bengals had pursued Retchie White. Ooh, that's true. Now, 1575 01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what the ramifications are or whatnot, But 1576 01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 1: can you imagine what that guy would have done as 1577 01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 1: a Bengal and the ferocity with which he would have 1578 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 1: brought it? Yeah? Yeah, I remember he played for the 1579 01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,360 Speaker 1: Eagles from eighty five to ninety two, correct, and then 1580 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 1: ninety two was the big year. That's when he went 1581 01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 1: to the Packers. So what would the Bengals defense have 1582 01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:13,920 Speaker 1: look like? Oh, in nineteen eighty eight he had him 1583 01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:16,240 Speaker 1: and in a few other ones, if you had Reggie 1584 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:20,080 Speaker 1: White on that defensive line, no points allowed. I keep 1585 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 1: wondering about that. Now, the other question would be who 1586 01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:28,560 Speaker 1: who would be the worst free agent signing in the 1587 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:35,680 Speaker 1: history of the Reds or Bengals. These are things that 1588 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,840 Speaker 1: keep you up at night. By way, I'm just saying, 1589 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,479 Speaker 1: you know, just when you think the ambient had kicked in, 1590 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,600 Speaker 1: then you get questions like this in the back of 1591 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 1: your mind. 1592 01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 6: That's a I know, I'm just that's that's Yeah. A 1593 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 6: lot of names come to mind, but oh, I mean 1594 01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,559 Speaker 6: some were out of the realm of the purview of them. 1595 01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:04,720 Speaker 6: But guy to keep I keep coming back to is 1596 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 6: Antonio Bryant. Remember him? 1597 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he signed with the Bengals, I think twenty ten 1598 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 1: million dollar, four year contract, and I think he had 1599 01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:18,519 Speaker 1: like one practice and that was it. What about t 1600 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:19,559 Speaker 1: O wasn't here along? 1601 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:19,880 Speaker 3: Was he? 1602 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:20,439 Speaker 4: Well? 1603 01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 1: The reason why t O was here is that o 1604 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,000 Speaker 1: Cho Senko. I think it was. I think it was 1605 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: because they saw what Antonio Bryant and it wasn't working out. 1606 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:33,679 Speaker 1: What about James Harrison? James Harrison was an interesting study. 1607 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,959 Speaker 1: I don't think he was you know that in relationship 1608 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,680 Speaker 1: to the Mike Tomlin. You know, I don't know if 1609 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 1: James Harrison ever, you know, really bought into what was 1610 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:43,880 Speaker 1: going on here. You know what I'm saying. 1611 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 6: I said a load to him a couple of times. 1612 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 6: I thought he was gonna like tear me and half 1613 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:51,320 Speaker 6: road out. He just kind of looked at me, like, right, yeah, James, 1614 01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 6: how you doing? 1615 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, it didn't matter to day.

The Wizard would have 1725 01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:29,000 Speaker 1: his own show. Oh, I'd be humongous.

There's nothing better than when 1741 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,960 Speaker 1: a man knows that he has performed what is asked 1742 01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 1: of him. All they ask of me here is to 1743 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:35,120 Speaker 1: be a bridge somebody that can connect Scott Sloan to 1744 01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 1: the apex of our broadcast schedule, which, of course is 1745 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:41,080 Speaker 1: the Eddie and Rocky Show. It's coming up in just 1746 01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:43,960 Speaker 1: a matter of minutes, and it's anchored by one of 1747 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:47,960 Speaker 1: the three most ravishing redheads in the greater Cincinnati area. 1748 01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:51,320 Speaker 1: That would be Rocket J Boyman, who has arrived in 1749 01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:54,160 Speaker 1: the studio earlier to join me. Rocky, how are you 1750 01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:56,439 Speaker 1: on this glorious day? Can I am great? How are you? 1751 01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,760 Speaker 1: I was any better? I be triplets and then I 1752 01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:00,840 Speaker 1: could get some things done. You get a lot done 1753 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:03,519 Speaker 1: if you were in troubles. Yeah, I could wallpaper, I could, 1754 01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, plant some flowers. I could probably solve the 1755 01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,680 Speaker 1: world's problems. But there's only one of me, thank God, 1756 01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:13,840 Speaker 1: thank God. Yes, Mike Tomlin. I'm not suggesting anything here, 1757 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:17,280 Speaker 1: but if anybody said at the beginning of summer camp 1758 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,320 Speaker 1: that the last coach standing in the AFC North would 1759 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:23,720 Speaker 1: be Zach Taylor, I think everybody'd say what But nevertheless 1760 01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:27,400 Speaker 1: he is now. I'm not suggesting anything here because you know, 1761 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,040 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor is the head coach and they're joined at 1762 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 1: the hip with Mike Brown. I get hold of that. 1763 01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:36,920 Speaker 1: But would Mike Tomlin play in Cincinnati as a head 1764 01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:42,560 Speaker 1: coach knowing the inherent absolute hatred that exists among Cincinnati 1765 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,439 Speaker 1: fans for not only the fans of Pittsburgh, not only 1766 01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers, but the city of Pittsburgh, would he work 1767 01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 1: in this town? 1768 01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:52,240 Speaker 8: I think bengalstans early on would be reluctant. But if 1769 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:56,839 Speaker 8: they calm down a little bit and realize the caliber 1770 01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:59,599 Speaker 8: of coach that he is and hasn't had a losing 1771 01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:03,280 Speaker 8: season in nineteen seasons, and the fact that what's the 1772 01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 8: biggest issue with the Bengals right now offensive defense. 1773 01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:06,679 Speaker 1: Defense. 1774 01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:10,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a defensive guy and would add an edge 1775 01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:12,719 Speaker 8: I think to that. So I think for that reason, 1776 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 8: hypothetically it would work. I think largely you want offensive 1777 01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:21,160 Speaker 8: coaches in the NFL because of the innovation and everything. 1778 01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:22,920 Speaker 1: But I mean, look at New England. 1779 01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:25,200 Speaker 8: They got a defensive coach and that guy has I mean, 1780 01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 8: you know, they take over the identity of Mike Rabel, right, 1781 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 8: And I think this Bengals team and defense, which is 1782 01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,320 Speaker 8: clearly the part of this team that needs a lot 1783 01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 8: of work, maybe that would give them an edge. So 1784 01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 8: I think, yeah, fans bulk at it for a second, 1785 01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 8: but if you thought about it, yeah, I think it 1786 01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 8: would work well. 1787 01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:43,680 Speaker 1: I think all you'd have to do is splash a 1788 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,519 Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring, which he has. Now, there's the knock 1789 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:48,800 Speaker 1: against them is that there were two Mike Tomlins. There 1790 01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:52,799 Speaker 1: was the night Mike Tomlin from I think twenty ohs seven, 1791 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:55,920 Speaker 1: maybe the twenty sixteen, and then there was the guy 1792 01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen, who really wasn't as effective as the 1793 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:01,000 Speaker 1: first Mike Tomlin. 1794 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 8: So well, the first Mike Tomlin had Ben Roethlisberger, so 1795 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,599 Speaker 8: that helped, and he hasn't been able to get a quarterback. 1796 01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:10,679 Speaker 1: Since absolutely fair, and he hasn't because of his own 1797 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:14,920 Speaker 1: moderate success. When you're drafting in the mid teens and 1798 01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:18,120 Speaker 1: the upper teens, because of your your success, you're not 1799 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,479 Speaker 1: going to get the great quarterback that's out there as 1800 01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:22,519 Speaker 1: the first or second pick. Correct, But I think I 1801 01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,680 Speaker 1: think he would have to not reprove, but just kind 1802 01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,200 Speaker 1: of re establish who he's all about, particularly for some 1803 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:30,560 Speaker 1: of the younger players that are coming in. But I 1804 01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:32,639 Speaker 1: think this guy plays anywhere. I think he's the most 1805 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 1: attractive coaching candidate that's out there. He's not available, obviously 1806 01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 1: because he's under contract to Pittsburgh through twenty twenty seven. 1807 01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:43,519 Speaker 1: But nevertheless, I think he could go anywhere, as could 1808 01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 1: you for that matter. But thank god, you're not going anywhere. 1809 01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:48,679 Speaker 1: You're here in just a couple of minutes with Eddie. 1810 01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 1: What's topic one for you? 1811 01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:52,479 Speaker 8: Well, that's a good lead in because at four o'clock 1812 01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:54,559 Speaker 8: we have an Adam Crowley of ninety three to seven 1813 01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:57,080 Speaker 8: the fan in Pittsburgh and he's going to go over. 1814 01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,120 Speaker 8: He's in the belly of the beast there, so going 1815 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:01,880 Speaker 8: to talk about what's going on with Tomlin. The feeling 1816 01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 8: of I feel there's a difference in how people view 1817 01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,920 Speaker 8: Mike Tomlin from the outside versus how they view him 1818 01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:07,519 Speaker 8: in Pittsburgh. 1819 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,040 Speaker 1: So ask him about that. Ask him what Tomlin's next 1820 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:11,200 Speaker 1: move is, is it TV? 1821 01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:14,960 Speaker 8: And if so, where? And then does how bad? Does 1822 01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,599 Speaker 8: he probably want to get back into coaching. So ask 1823 01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:19,519 Speaker 8: him all those questions and then'll be at four o'clock. 1824 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he can coach my team anytime. 1825 01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,080 Speaker 8: Anyplace you got like you got a grandson with like 1826 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:27,000 Speaker 8: a like a youth team or something, maybe he can 1827 01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:28,240 Speaker 8: get him to coach that a little bit. 1828 01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:29,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, why not? 1829 01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:29,680 Speaker 4: Why not? 1830 01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:32,679 Speaker 1: Twenty seven? Then bingo, he could be the hottest market 1831 01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,479 Speaker 1: guy in the market. Right, you guys have a great show. 1832 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 1: I'll be listening, of course, because I monitor this station 1833 01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:40,240 Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. But I never could become more 1834 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,639 Speaker 1: excited than I do with three o'clock in the afternoon. 1835 01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,200 Speaker 8: So keep your arousal down a little bit, can well, 1836 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,000 Speaker 8: at my age, it's not difficult. 1837 01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:49,600 Speaker 1: On seven hundred WOLW
