WEBVTT - Mike Allen in for Scott 12/26/2025 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:12.160 News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen in for Sloaney today, 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.120 as I will be, I believe every day next week. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.600 So you stuck with me. Hope everybody had a good Christmas. 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.800 I know I did usual stuff, gifts, great food, a 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.000 little bit of beer here and there, but no, it 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.280 was nice. But it's also nice to get it over with, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.960 you know. I kind of have a theory as far 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.880 as Christmas goes. It's fun when you're a kid, it's 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.640 fun when you have kids, and it will be fun 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:45.640 again when you have grandkids. And just about a week ago, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.560 I was blessed with my first grandchild. I've got a granddaughter, 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.400 so really happy about that. And as the years go by, 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.520 I think Christmas is going to get back to being 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.400 fun again. But like I said, I hope you all 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.600 had a good Christmas too, But it is kind of 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.480 nice to have it over with. But this week, this 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.720 is a weird week, isn't it. I Mean half the 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.679 time I don't know whether I'm coming or going. I 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.880 have to stop and think about what day it is. 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.399 But it's kind of laid back too. I'll tell you what. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.679 Coming up here, there's nobody on the roads. I mean, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.959 that's really nice. I don't know that it'll stay like that. 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:29.200 Also heard the forecast today is a high of sixty four, 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:35.800 which is absurd for almost January. That's darn near convertible weather. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.320 I know a few years back, I think it got 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.800 right around to that temperature and I said, what the heck, 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.120 I got mine out. Don't know if I'll do that 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.680 today though. Anyway, We've got a good show for you today. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:50.920 I think we're going to talk at ten o'clock two 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.960 former Vice Mayor Christopher Smithman. Haven't talked to him in 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.920 a while, going to catch up with him and see 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.600 what's up with him and asking his thoughts on what's 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.000 going on in the city of Cincinnati. Ten thirty Janis 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.480 Heisel of the Epoch Times, And if you're a regular 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:12.119 listener to my Saturday show, I've had Janis on probably 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.920 every Saturday for the past four or five weeks. When 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:22.799 this story with the corruption in Minnesota, she is all 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:27.079 over that story, to the point where Nut Gingrich complimented 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.480 her on her coverage. So we're gonna talk to her 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.120 at ten thirty. There are some new developments. I'm gonna 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.760 tell you something I've been around a while. I have 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:39.880 never seen anything like that. Pretty much agreed by everyone. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.760 It is now up to nine billion dollars and counting. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.800 It's just I can't imagine how something like that could 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.160 go on in a relatively small state and nobody know 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.520 about it, nobody do anything about it. I think they 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.680 all knew about it. So Janis will catch us up 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.520 on that. And we're gonna have legal analyst Steve Gooden. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.320 He's going to call in at eleven, not going to 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.480 talk to the talk to him about the the latest 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.760 on Elwood Jones. He's the dude that caught the break 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.560 and his murder conviction was not reversed, but it was 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.519 dismissed by the prosecutor. And there was a big brew 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.600 haha between the prosecutor and the corner about some evidence. 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.480 But this one. You can't write this one. You can't 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.160 make it up. A couple of days ago, he got 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.400 pulled over for an OVI. He got an OVI. He 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.520 got a failure to control. I think it is and 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.280 a leaving the scene of an accident. You know you 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.480 would think, wouldn't you. I mean? And he did sat 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.600 and sit in jail. I think for about I think 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.920 for about thirty years. You think you know, you get out, 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.040 you get your charges dismissed, you wipe the st slate clean. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.000 At some point, I'm sure he'll get some kind of 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.800 cash settlement from the state of Ohio. Then you go 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.760 out and do that. I mean, I don't know. I 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:07.560 just don't understand people a relatively light charge, the maxim 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.640 or the mandatory minimum on a first time OVI. I 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.960 have no idea. If he's got priors is three days, 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.000 and most judges go with that. But he fled from 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.840 the cops, and there's a lot of judges down there 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.800 that aren't real happy about that. So he may be 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.360 making a return visit, a brief visit to the Crowbar hotel. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.320 I guess we'll just have to see. Well, the big 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.039 story is, and this is serious stuff. Woke up to 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:40.680 find Donald Trump launched a Christmas night airstrike against ISIS 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.960 he refers to his terrorist scum. It's hard to disagree 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:50.080 with that he did this in Nigeria after random and 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:56.080 apparently a pretty high number of killings of Christians. Fox 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.320 News reports to President Donald Trump said the US launched 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:05.159 airstrike in northwest Nigeria on Christmas night, targeting ISIS militants 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.680 he accused of killing Christians. Well, they are calling the 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:14.320 operation decisive and warning further attacks would follow if the 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.880 violence continues. Here's his statement, the President's statements. I'm just 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.440 going to read this verbatim. It's classic Trump. Tonight, my 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.919 direction as commander in chief, the United States launched a 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:33.760 powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorists scum in northwest Virginia, sorry, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.719 northwest Nigeria. Well, that would have been a problem. Who 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:42.520 have been targeting and viciously killing primarily innocent Christians at 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.920 levels not seen for many years and even centuries. This 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.760 is all on truth social by the way. He goes 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.520 on to say, the President I have previously warned these 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.039 terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.400 there would be hell to pay. And tonight there was 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.880 the Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.800 the United States is capable of doing. And he closes 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.560 the statement with, under my leadership, our country will not 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:17.080 allow radical Islamic terrorism to prosper. Thank you so much 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.760 for that, mister President. That's long overdue, not from you, 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.440 but from previous administrations. Anyway, he goes on to say, 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:29.560 May God bless our military and merry Christmas, tall including 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.840 the dead terrorist, of which there will be many if 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.359 their slaughter of Christians continues. So you know, once again, 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.520 Donald Trump love h Merchti. He just tells it like 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.919 it is. And it's not like he didn't say that 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.000 he would do something like this if the situation over 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.960 there didn't get better. I mean, you can't kill Christians 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.440 at random, you know, the Muslim faith. Say what you 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.279 want about it, but let's just be honest. They're not 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.120 our friends. They do not like us, and we do 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.560 not have to like them. I'm not talking about all 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.640 I'm not talking about all of them. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:08.279 You know. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.520 I don't know if it's a majority, but it's a 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.440 substantial number that don't and think they can kill Christians 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.800 and Jews. We all know about that from what happened 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.480 on October the sixth, But Trump says it, he's probably 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.680 going to do it, and so of these people just 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.800 don't seem to get it. So we'll see what happens 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:32.760 on the follow up to that. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:33.000 Now. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.240 I haven't heard anything yet. I think it just happened 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.960 not hours ago, I guess, or maybe around twenty four 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.640 hours exactly what the damage was and what the body 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:48.280 count of Muslim terrorist is, so we'll find out about that. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.560 But again, yeah, I tell you what. Like I said, 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.480 you can either love him or hate him. But my 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.680 thought is one thought at least, is you know, I 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.600 think what he's showing people. And this hasn't been true 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.920 since probably the administration of Ronald Reagan. You don't mess 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.240 with the United States of America. If we say something, 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.080 we're going to do it. We're the strongest country in 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.640 the world, and we're starting to act like it again. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.240 And you can, you know, curse his style, curse you know, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.679 the way he does things. And he honks me off 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.360 sometimes too. I mean, you know, what he said about 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.320 the Rob Reiner and his family, that killing was just 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.760 I think it was despicable, and I know that's going 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.640 to make some people angry, but you know, you're going 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.680 to do this job, you've got to be an honest broker. 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.440 It was just unnecessary. Having said that. On the substance, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.360 he says what he's going to do and he does it. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.680 And you know, radical Islamic terrorism is not gone. It's here, 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.560 and they think they are divinely inspired. So it's something 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.920 that we have to keep up on and the President 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.800 is doing that well. They got Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.959 He weighed in on this and he said, I commend 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:09.199 President Trump, Secretary Hegseeth, and our brave troops for these 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:14.000 strikes against bloodthirsty Isis savages who are not only persecuting 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.200 Christians but have also killed many Americans. Thank you, senator. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:23.800 And I think there was some other comment too the President. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.800 This is Hegseeth again. The President was clear last month 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.200 the killing of it isent Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.840 must end. He said. The Department of War is ready 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.680 and so isis found out as so isis found out 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:43.520 tonight on Christmas, more to come. You gotta think that 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.640 doing it on Christmas had to be something that was 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.320 thought out and not just a coincidence to send a message. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.960 We're just not going to tolerate it. Grateful, grateful for 0:09:55.120 --> 0:10:00.440 the Nigerian support and cooperation. Again, he said, Mary Chris, so, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.160 I guess what the at the basis of this thing. 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:09.440 The move followed a surge on attacks on Christians and 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:14.960 Christian institutions in Nigeria last month. Gunman storm the christ 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:21.160 Apostolic church in Karwas State, killing two people and kidnapping dozens. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:27.920 The thirty eight abducted worshipers were freed only a week later. 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:29.280 We're freed. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:29.640 Yeah. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.600 Nearly a week later. Days later, armed attackers rated Saint 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:38.240 Mary's School, a school with kids obviously in Niger State, 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.239 abducting more than three hundred students and staff. School officials 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.720 said fifty students aged ten to eighteen escaped in the 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.920 following days, but two hundred and fifty three students and 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.800 twelve teachers remained captive. You know, there's your Islam, there's 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.280 your Muslim terrorist for you, let's pick on kids aged 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.959 ten to eighteen. I'm telling you you just can't deal 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.880 with these people. And if somebody wants to call me islamophobic, 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.480 guess what I could care less. I could care less. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.160 It's high time we got serious about these people. And 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.440 again I have to say it, I'm not talking about 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:21.319 all but a substantial number of same. So we'll keep 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.240 an eye on that and see what happens. I am 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.240 going to be interested in seeing what the count was 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.280 on something like that, and also obviously in the weeks 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.880 and months to come, whether it had any effect, which 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.440 I kind of think that it did well. Our good 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.520 friend Kamala Harris back in the news. She was talking 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.400 on a podcast. She was actually on this podcast, it's 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.240 called Rich Little Broke Girls Podcast. I think it was 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.480 like three and a half hours or so, which for her, 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.480 I mean Trump could speak for three and a half days, 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.360 but for hers kind of a big deal. But you know, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.760 she said some very common Harris like things, no word 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.840 salads that I know of. But anyway, she made a comment. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:12.480 She suggested that if someone mocks her cackle, guess what, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.520 it's sexist and anyone that does is out of touch. Now, 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.840 at least she didn't drag the R word out for 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.400 this one. That probably will come later. She made the 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.920 comment during eight an appearance on the Rich Little Broke 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.880 Girls podcast when she recalled a reporter asking her about 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:39.000 criticisms of lacking humility. Okay, here's Kamala, I don't aspire 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:43.920 to be humble. Humility. Yes, it's very important. It's very 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:49.160 dated perspective on women who women should be to say 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.559 women should be humble, women should be quiet, women should 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:53.480 laugh easily. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:54.400 You know. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.079 Again, she just never answers the questions I don't aspire 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:05.040 to be humble humility. Yes, well, I think they're kind 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.600 of closely related, Kamala, I'm not mistaken. And she goes 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.720 on to say women should not have a sense of humor, 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.800 women should not raise their and she's mocking people. Women 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.040 should not raise their voice. I have never felt burdened 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:24.520 by those very dated and I think out of touch standards, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.680 you know. And she goes on to say, like, apparently 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.720 some people love to talk about the way I laugh. Well, 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.120 let me tell you something. I have my mother's laugh, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.480 and I grew up around a bunch of women in 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.360 particular who laughed from the belly. And she does have. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:46.040 It's a rather hearty laugh. Some may say a cackle, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.880 but it's always at times that are not appropriate. But 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.880 I guess the whole point of all of this, you know, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.880 you could say, yeah, maybe I do that, but it's 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.040 just me. You know, people need to get over it 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.600 and not blame it on the F word, you know, feminism. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.960 It's because you know, we're all misogynistic. And I don't know, 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.880 I don't know why that woman is actually out on 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.000 the stump anyway. I mean, every time she opens her mouth, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.920 she probably takes at least three or four points off 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.600 of her favorable polling information. Well, she goes on and says, 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.240 there are different phases in your life and you may 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:31.000 not know. Okay, this is classic Kamala. There are different 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.440 phases in your life and you may not know what 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.080 phase you're in. Maybe you're going to choose that you 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.800 want to have that kind of Friday night relationship, or 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.520 you want that Saturday morning relationship. I mean, think about that. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.360 I guess you could have both Friday morning and Friday 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.520 night then Saturday morning. I don't know what the hell 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:57.800 she's talking about. Thank you, Kama. I didn't know you 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.600 were listening, hope, But then you're an eight. You off 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.400 too much anyway, or you can or you want that 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:10.320 Saturday morning relationship. Sometimes you can get both, yeah, see, 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.400 and sometimes they are just oil and water, and that's okay. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:20.400 Be in those phases where you are having funds. I 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.680 don't know what point she was trying to get across, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.360 other than no matter what, it ain't her fault. She 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.160 doesn't have a funny and annoying cackle. It's all the 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.880 result of sexism. So that's probably what you would have 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.040 expected from her. I know, it's what I would have expected. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.280 For She did comment on her own marriage. Doug him 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.240 off a pretty powerful lawyer as I understand it. She 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.280 married him in twenty fourteen. She said, Doug and I 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.040 got married in our forties, and I love my husband 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.160 so very much. He's my best friend. So far, so good. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.240 We've talked about it. We met in our twenties, or 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.560 had if we had met in our twenties, I don't 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.560 know that we would have really been in the same place, 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.080 she added. And you know what, that, I think is 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.560 a statement that makes some sense. I mean, you know, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.520 you just don't know. But there are some things about him, 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.800 m Off that I'm going to get into that. I 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.960 think if it were a Republican or a conservative running 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.040 for president or vice president the United States, we certainly 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.080 would have heard about them. But hey, that's pretty much 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.840 par for the course. Hey, we got to take a break. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.440 But I want to tell you lots of time for 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.040 calls this morning. Seven four nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.440 The big one are the numbers. If you want to 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.560 be part of the fun. Here Mike Allen in for 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:52.600 Sloaney seven hundred WLW. They we're back. Mike Allen in 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:57.880 for sloaney, it's nine to forty. Well, I tell you 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:03.640 we got some good weather coming. This is almost convertible weather. Today, 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.960 mostly cloudy, a little scattered ring, but a high of 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.840 sixty four. How about that tonight mostly cloudy, mild, low 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:17.320 forty three and tomorrow mostly cloudy, comfortable high of fifty five. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.200 So I will definitely take that. Well, I'll tell you 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.040 talk about having a good Christmas, there's some dude in 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:29.520 Arkansas that had an incredible Christmas talking about the powerball 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.840 player in Arkansas who won? Are you ready a one 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:40.959 point eight seventeen billion, not million billion dollar jackpot Wednesday? 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.879 That's a heck of a Christmas present. I guess the 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:46.920 way they do it or a lot of oh here 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.479 it is. Yeah. They reported lump some cash payment option 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.479 of eight hundred and thirty four point nine million bucks. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.919 I mean, can you imagine that? You know, if I 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.280 think about it and I'm walking by some where they're 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.080 selling the tickets, I'll punk five bucks down. I mean, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.320 I get five dollars worth of daydream and just thinking 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.119 about it, and you also think too, what would you 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:15.120 do with all that money? Yeah? I guess I'd pay 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.720 all my families, mortgages off, take care of my friends. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.720 I like gold cars. I'd probably buy a warehouse full 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.040 of them, and then yeah, great, not all of it, 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.000 but a great deal of it. I'd give it away 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:30.920 to people. I mean, how cool would that be when 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.240 your your main job in life is to figure out 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.360 good causes to give money to. But that's a hell 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.040 of a jackpot to have won at one point eight 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:45.760 seventeen billion dollars. I remember it was in the seventies, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.680 I think late seventies when Ohio first started their lottery. 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.280 I don't think at the time it was affiliated with 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.000 other states. I think it was just kind of a 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.800 standalone deal. But you had to get It's not a 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.960 power ball. You had to get six out of obviously 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.400 to get the big one. One time my old man 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.440 got five out of six and I think he got 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.000 a couple thousand dollars. But those numbers are nothing compared 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.440 to what they are now. They have not identified, as 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.119 far as I know, the guy that wanted, but I 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:21.160 hope it's someone that really needs it put it that way, 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.200 and has a kind of a generous streak in he 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:30.080 We shall see, I'll tell you hunter he Biden Hunter, Biden. 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.919 You thought he was gone, he's not. I don't know 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.320 if his intent is to harm his father or not, 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.480 or he's just not smart enough to know what will 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.600 help him and what won't help him. This one is unbelievable. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.159 A wide ranging five and a half hour interview was 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.080 on The Sean Ryan Show. I guess it's a podcast, 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.320 although I think it's on TV too, on December twenty second. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:03.359 He addressed several highly controversial topics, the main one being 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.080 that they've reported on at least criticism of his father's 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:13.480 administration and his personal financial struggles. Okay, according to AI, 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.320 here are some of the key highlights from the interview. 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.359 He criticized the Biden administration pretty strongly. He described his father, 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:28.040 President Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and certain immigration policies 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:34.760 as I'm quoting catastrophic failures. Catastrophic failures. Yeah, that's probably 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:40.440 an understatement, especially with respect to the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:47.479 Hunter specifically called the immigration situation quote and obvious efing 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:53.560 failure close quote, noting that while vibrant immigration is needed, 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:58.840 the current lack of border security drains resources. Well, He's 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.960 wrong about it. There is border security now. I heard 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.200 last week I think it was Tom Homan was being 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.320 interviewed somewhere. He said he got up in a helicopter, 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.080 you know, flew around looking at certain parts of the border, 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:17.240 nothing happening. He got a four wheeler from somebody, drove around, 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:23.760 nothing happened. Nobody getting into this country without first facing someone. 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:29.080 So there is no current lack of border security. I mean, 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:34.320 it's just finally it's under control. Well, then he talked 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:39.080 about his financial and legal issues, which are myriad. He 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.880 revealed that he is currently facing a proxy. Listen to this. 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.399 You know, he probably should have won that lottery. Not really, 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:52.240 he's facing fifteen million bucks. He's fifteen million bucks in debt, 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:56.320 and he stated that he has quote no clue close 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.080 quote how he will pay it. Well, okay, you know, 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.359 by a lot of people's account most notably the House 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.919 Oversight Committee. He got millions and millions and millions of 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:13.600 dollars through all of his dealings with Ukraine as well 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.480 as I think China and some other places too. Then 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.560 you know it went around through like twenty four different accounts, 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:22.960 and you know, kids five years old getting money, and 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:27.359 he Biden walked on that it's just unbelievable, the biggest scandal, 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.760 in my opinion, in this country's history. I think this 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.560 whole situation in Minnesota is going to be closely following it. 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.639 But no, he had all that money from that, he 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.840 has no clue how he's going to pay it, and 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.840 I guess there is like a real big rift brewing 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:50.720 between his family and Obama. He blamed former President Obama's 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:56.280 aids for being quote distasteful close quote and forcing him 0:22:56.320 --> 0:23:01.119 to restart his business career from square one. Now, I 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.560 don't know whoever interviewed him, but if that person that 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.919 just begs for a follow up, and the follow up 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:12.280 would be hunter, please explain that how did President Obama 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:16.320 force you to restart your business career from square one? 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.840 I'd be interested in hearing what his answers, not really interested, 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.560 but curious to hear what his answer to that would be. 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.600 And this might be the best one. 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:29.040 I guess. 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:34.960 He blamed his father's very poor debate performance against the president. 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.159 He wasn't the president then, he Biden was Donald Trump. 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.960 May have been caused by the use of are you 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:48.040 ready ambient? So you know it wasn't Joe Biden being 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:54.760 addled and cognitively impaired. Darn it was that darn ambient anyway, 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:56.680 I hey, if you want to call seven four nine, 0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.800 seven thousand, one, eight hundred the big one are the numbers. 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.920 Let's do this. Let's take a short break and we'll 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.120 come back talk a little bit before the news. Mike 0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:15.400 Allen in for Sloaney, seven hundred WLW nine one excuse me, yeah, 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:19.560 nine two News Radio, seven hundred WLW.

What you got for me? 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:34.560 I just wanted to mention the small fraud number of 0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:38.200 years back. You know, I worked from Delta Airlines to CVG, 0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:42.760 and we had many everyone they were hiring was part 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.159 time here for us, and so many of these small 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.760 people and I'm thinking, Mike, God, where did they come from? 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.560 And they were traveling all the time because when you're 0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:55.080 an airline employee, you can fly on the cheap international, 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.400 So they were traveling all the time over to their 0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.919 home and h there. 0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:03.640 Was one instance where one of their bags. 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.840 Their carry on or their suitcases got checked at twenty 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:12.439 two laptops in it and two geez, twenty two laptops. 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.440 And I still to this day, I don't. 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.520 Know what kind of black market they have. I was 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:21.760 reading article where Ohio has the third most sorelly of 0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:25.640 population in the country, which these people that worked there 0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:31.040 at CBG they did live in Ohio, but just worthless 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:35.360 late be interesting to see if people really get locked 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:41.000 up politicians, well some of the with this wasteful, you 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.920 know nonsense, but don't their lines cater to them? 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.520
