WEBVTT - Ken Broo -- 10/10/26 0:00:01.110 --> 0:00:04.030 Yes, yes, yes, and welcome on in. What do we mean? 0:00:04.110 --> 0:00:08.350 We are the Saturday afternoon extravaganza presented by Stone Statements. 0:00:08.430 --> 0:00:15.240 Make a statement with your countertops. Visit stonestatements.com. Well, here 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.720 we are now as we count down to a number 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.099 of things. We've got college football all afternoon starting just 0:00:21.140 --> 0:00:25.570 about now, Indiana at Nebraska. And then later on today, 0:00:25.630 --> 0:00:29.070 Miami at UMass and then at 415 Maryland heads up 0:00:29.150 --> 0:00:31.990 north to Columbus to take on number five Ohio State. 0:00:32.510 --> 0:00:35.629 Number 10 LSU will be at Kentucky tonight. It could 0:00:35.650 --> 0:00:39.100 be soggy down there. It could be raining. And the 0:00:39.140 --> 0:00:40.979 University of Cincinnati is off. 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:42.100 Off. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.960 Not playing this week. They play West Virginia next week. 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:47.770 So we're keeping an eye on all of that. And, 0:00:47.780 --> 0:00:51.190 of course, the Bengals heading south to play Miami tonight. Tomorrow, 0:00:51.229 --> 0:00:54.160 the Dolphins' record is 0-4. Do not be duped. That 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.400 does not mean that's a bad team. That's a team 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:00.800 that seems to make bad plays at inopportune times. And 0:01:00.820 --> 0:01:03.340 it's going to be hot down there. It's going to 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.899 be very hot in Miami. Game time temperature somewhere around 88. 0:01:07.900 --> 0:01:11.340 But on the field, in the sun, it will feel 0:01:11.380 --> 0:01:14.470 much warmer than that. So we'll see exactly how that 0:01:14.510 --> 0:01:20.550 plays out in the sun of southeastern Florida. Meantime... Election 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.730 Day is inching closer and closer. Early voting began this 0:01:24.810 --> 0:01:29.010 week in Ohio. I did my part. I early voted 0:01:29.030 --> 0:01:33.170 at my local area. And I would not say that 0:01:33.209 --> 0:01:35.810 the flow of traffic through there was heavy, at least 0:01:35.850 --> 0:01:38.710 when I was there. But all over Ohio, it seems 0:01:38.770 --> 0:01:41.550 like there has been a pretty strong turnout in these 0:01:41.590 --> 0:01:45.869 first few days of early voting. We don't have election 0:01:45.890 --> 0:01:48.530 day anymore in this country. We have election season. And, 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.020 of course, there are many ways to vote. There are 0:01:51.030 --> 0:01:53.980 many ways for elections to be compromised. There are many 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.300 ways for fraud to come through. And so we need 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.740 to keep our antenna. You and me and everybody else 0:01:59.780 --> 0:02:03.920 need to keep our antenna up on that. If you 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.920 are a Republican, the news does not appear to be good. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.980 There are a lot of, let's just say, liberal polls 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.480 that are out over the course of the last 48 hours. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.620 You had a Washington Post poll that came out. You 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.019 had a CNN poll came out. And the picture that 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.899 it's painting for the GOP, at least here in Ohio, 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:32.590 is not good. In Ohio, on Friday, Washington Post had 0:02:32.630 --> 0:02:40.250 a poll. And for Republicans, it is not good. On Thursday, 0:02:41.410 --> 0:02:45.730 CNN had a poll. And in the Ohio special election 0:02:45.770 --> 0:02:51.859 for Senator, it had Sherrod Brown up six on John Husted. 0:02:52.660 --> 0:02:55.980 In the Ohio governor's race, it had Amy Acton up 0:02:56.220 --> 0:03:02.970 eight on Vivek Ramaswamy. Coefficient, which is, I know it 0:03:03.010 --> 0:03:07.950 seems to be a Republican leading poll, had Husted up 0:03:08.250 --> 0:03:11.810 one on Brown and Ramaswamy up two on Acton. But again, 0:03:13.470 --> 0:03:16.250 That seems to be a Republican leading poll. And here's 0:03:16.310 --> 0:03:21.769 another Republican leading poll. And that's the Trafalgar group. This 0:03:21.850 --> 0:03:27.930 is in the 2026 Texas Senate race between Paxton and Tallarico. Tallarico, 0:03:27.970 --> 0:03:31.169 who has been missing in action. All kinds of rumors 0:03:31.250 --> 0:03:34.120 as to where Tallarico might have been, including rumors that 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:39.080 he was in Ohio getting treatment for some sort of illness. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:45.190 He's been gone for 13 days. Tattlerico 47, Paxton 44. 0:03:45.190 --> 0:03:48.390 This is a poll that was in the field while 0:03:48.490 --> 0:03:54.340 Tattlerico was MIA. So it's not looking very good. And 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.200 my concern here is not just for who wins or 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.540 who loses, whose candidate is the best and what philosophy 0:04:01.580 --> 0:04:05.560 is the best. My concern here is what candidate has 0:04:06.220 --> 0:04:09.820 been able to deliver a message of what she or 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.180 he will do when in office. And on that front, 0:04:14.260 --> 0:04:17.580 I think the GOP, the Republican Party in this state, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:23.039 has really let its constituents down. You literally have two 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.210 anointed candidates in the two biggest races in the state. 0:04:27.670 --> 0:04:33.990 Two anointed candidates. Now, Mike DeWine, his behavior has been 0:04:34.290 --> 0:04:37.849 very strange during this election season. Have you seen Mike 0:04:37.870 --> 0:04:43.730 DeWine at any campaign stop with Vivek Ramaswamy? I haven't. 0:04:45.910 --> 0:04:49.969 Mike DeWine appointed John Husted. Husted, I think down deep, 0:04:50.050 --> 0:04:52.480 really didn't want the Senate seat. I think he wanted 0:04:52.500 --> 0:04:57.020 to be governor. But nevertheless, Husted was appointed to fill 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.420 the seat that was vacated by J.D. Vance when J.D. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.180 Vance was elected vice president of this country. There was 0:05:05.220 --> 0:05:08.230 no primary. There was no challenge. He was just anointed. 0:05:09.150 --> 0:05:11.450 There was no chance for John Husted to get out 0:05:11.490 --> 0:05:15.980 on the campaign trail and Maybe the GOP gave him 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.960 a straw man. Anybody that could draw out who he 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.840 is and what he's all about. Remember, as late as 0:05:22.900 --> 0:05:24.960 a year ago this time, there was a poll that 0:05:25.020 --> 0:05:28.190 was out. 40% of this state didn't know who John 0:05:28.230 --> 0:05:37.510 Husted was. Meanwhile, with the governor's race, Donald Trump wanted 0:05:37.570 --> 0:05:41.300 Vivek Ramaswamy to be the GOP candidate for governor in 0:05:41.339 --> 0:05:45.600 this state. And I don't sense that Mike DeWine wanted that. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.580 And so I guess the deal he made was he said, OK, 0:05:50.740 --> 0:05:53.659 I'll endorse Ramaswamy, but you got to put my guy 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.820 in as his running mate. And that was it, as 0:05:57.870 --> 0:06:02.790 far as I can tell from Mike DeWine's efforts to 0:06:02.850 --> 0:06:10.510 get the Republican candidate elected. Again, the GOP letting this 0:06:10.589 --> 0:06:14.510 particular constituency it has in Ohio down. Where was the 0:06:14.630 --> 0:06:19.349 open primary? Where were the debates? And now, of course, 0:06:19.710 --> 0:06:24.500 Husted and Brown aren't debating, and Amy Acton refuses to 0:06:24.540 --> 0:06:29.020 debate Vivek Ramaswamy. The only debate we've had statewide, to 0:06:29.060 --> 0:06:34.070 my knowledge, has been for the attorney general's race. So 0:06:34.110 --> 0:06:38.890 what's going on here and why is this seemingly a 0:06:38.970 --> 0:06:42.540 picture that has painted the GOP into a corner where 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.820 here now, just about three weeks out, you're in the 0:06:45.860 --> 0:06:49.980 corner playing rope-a-dope, trying somehow, some way to get votes, 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:56.540 energize your base, anything to keep those seats. Standing by 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.050 is a man I respect. He's run for statewide office. 0:07:00.870 --> 0:07:03.730 He is not a fan of Mike DeWine. He ran 0:07:03.770 --> 0:07:06.170 against Mike DeWine, ran against Sherrod Brown, and lost both 0:07:06.210 --> 0:07:09.220 of those races. He'll freely admit, lost both of them. 0:07:10.100 --> 0:07:13.900 He's a former U.S. Congressman from Northeast Ohio. You know 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.660 the name. His name is Jim Renacci. And I wanted 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.990 to get him on today just to see what is 0:07:20.050 --> 0:07:24.470 going on with what seems to be phantom campaigns inside 0:07:24.490 --> 0:07:28.490 the GOP in Ohio. So let's welcome Jim in. Jim, 0:07:28.530 --> 0:07:30.160 how are you on this glorious Saturday? 0:07:30.180 --> 0:07:32.510 Hey. I am doing great, Ken. How are you? 0:07:32.730 --> 0:07:35.690 I'm well. We're less than a month out. There are 0:07:35.710 --> 0:07:37.630 a couple of things that are just going on that 0:07:38.070 --> 0:07:41.230 seem strange to me. Number one, I try to pay 0:07:41.270 --> 0:07:45.510 attention to the political game in Ohio as well as anybody. 0:07:46.290 --> 0:07:49.690 I have not seen Mike DeWine at a campaign rally 0:07:49.830 --> 0:07:53.910 with Vivek Ramaswamy. Has he ever shown his head at 0:07:53.990 --> 0:07:55.450 one of these things? Did I miss something? 0:07:57.410 --> 0:07:58.790 No, you haven't missed anything. 0:07:58.830 --> 0:08:03.070 And I think most people realize that, you know, Governor 0:08:03.090 --> 0:08:04.530 DeWine may not be. 0:08:04.410 --> 0:08:08.340 A fan of Vivek Ramaswamy. He's more of a fan. 0:08:08.060 --> 0:08:11.619 Of people that he selects. And of course, President Trump 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:15.400 selected and supported Vivek Ramaswamy, which I think in the 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.720 end did not please Governor DeWine. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.880 So I think Governor DeWine's been staying away. 0:08:20.940 --> 0:08:24.000 He did endorse Vivek, but of course he endorsed him 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:29.370 after Vivek picked the lieutenant governor, which was basically, my understanding, 0:08:29.430 --> 0:08:33.250 was one of Governor DeWine's choices. So I think that's 0:08:33.330 --> 0:08:35.550 a positive thing. But you got to remember, Governor DeWine 0:08:35.570 --> 0:08:38.790 has a great relationship with Amy Acton, too. He selected 0:08:38.809 --> 0:08:42.490 her for medical director, has always defended her actions. So 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.290 there's some say that he might even be somewhat supportive. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:46.600 Of her as well. 0:08:46.820 --> 0:08:52.320 Yeah, it seems strange. Trump had that big rally down 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.310 here in southwest Ohio last week, and the governor... And 0:08:55.650 --> 0:08:59.820 I'm not denying anything about his allegiance to the Haitian 0:08:59.860 --> 0:09:03.020 population in this country. He's very involved with Haiti. But 0:09:03.540 --> 0:09:07.140 he goes to a funeral for a Haitian boy that 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.690 was bullied and ultimately committed suicide, but skip what looked 0:09:10.730 --> 0:09:15.150 like a normal thing that a sitting Republican governor would do, 0:09:15.670 --> 0:09:19.240 particularly when his lieutenant governor is fighting for his life 0:09:20.030 --> 0:09:23.709 in this Senate race with Sherrod Brown. I... I think 0:09:23.730 --> 0:09:26.110 the guy could have done both events in the same day, 0:09:26.170 --> 0:09:28.550 but yet he beat a path back to Columbus. I 0:09:28.610 --> 0:09:30.150 found that very odd. Did not you? 0:09:31.770 --> 0:09:33.890 Well, of course, Governor DeWine is going to do what 0:09:34.010 --> 0:09:40.740 he wants to do. And yes, I see that somewhat interesting, 0:09:40.780 --> 0:09:43.640 but not surprising. Remember, he's not a big fan of 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.380 President Trump either. So his wanting to stay away from 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.740 a rally and that Vivek Ramaswamy's at doesn't surprise me. 0:09:53.610 --> 0:09:57.740 Is he like just a modern-day John Kasich? I mean, 0:09:57.780 --> 0:09:59.530 is he just like Kasich's 2.0? 0:10:01.870 --> 0:10:02.809 Well, I think he could be. 0:10:02.890 --> 0:10:05.150 I mean, look, I've said all along that the reason 0:10:05.190 --> 0:10:08.630 I ran against him, Governor DeWine is not truly a Republican. 0:10:09.030 --> 0:10:11.230 He leans and he gets a lot of Democrat votes 0:10:12.630 --> 0:10:15.200 in his elections. And even when I ran against him 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.540 in the primary, there's evidence that 200 and some thousand 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.199 Democrats crossed over and voted for him. So he does 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.870 have that moderate to liberal leanings that people like and 0:10:27.230 --> 0:10:31.390 Democrats like and left leaning independents like. And he has 0:10:31.429 --> 0:10:35.219 done well in the state by garnishing their votes. But 0:10:36.740 --> 0:10:40.340 when it comes to strong Republican values, I don't see 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:41.280 him as being one of those. 0:10:41.460 --> 0:10:44.240 Yeah, I just I just found his behavior during this 0:10:44.300 --> 0:10:49.189 election cycle extremely odd. Look, speaking of odd, the state 0:10:49.230 --> 0:10:54.050 GOP anointed both candidates. I mean, Ramaswamy was anointed more 0:10:54.070 --> 0:10:57.410 than a year outside the election. And of course, Houston 0:10:57.470 --> 0:11:01.189 was anointed by DeWine to fill that spot that was 0:11:01.250 --> 0:11:05.730 vacated by J.D. Vance. And I think what was troubling 0:11:05.770 --> 0:11:07.450 to me, and I think may in the end hurt 0:11:07.490 --> 0:11:10.200 the GOP more than anything else in this state, there 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.540 were no debates. There were no internal debates. Houston didn't 0:11:13.780 --> 0:11:16.400 debate anyone. There wasn't even a straw man running against them. 0:11:16.420 --> 0:11:19.280 And the same thing with Ramaswamy. There were no debates. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.540 Certainly in 2026, there were no debates. I think now 0:11:22.590 --> 0:11:28.270 that Acton won't debate Ramaswamy and Brown is not debating Husted. 0:11:28.309 --> 0:11:30.480 My gosh, the only debate we've had in this state 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.839 is the Attorney General debate the other day. I think 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.860 that in the end is going to really hurt the 0:11:35.900 --> 0:11:37.760 GOP in this election cycle, don't you? 0:11:37.780 --> 0:11:39.760 Well, absolutely. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.380 Even worse, we didn't have any primaries. When you have primaries, 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.300 you get to see both candidates. In this election, the ORP, 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.590 the High Republican Party, basically selected the candidates, endorsed them 0:11:50.750 --> 0:11:54.820 early enough to that anyone who was running against them 0:11:54.860 --> 0:11:58.040 knew that they would not have the ORPs for support. 0:11:58.540 --> 0:12:00.600 And I think the ORP will have to pay for 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:05.520 that decision if both candidates lose. And then you had 0:12:06.179 --> 0:12:09.870 Governor DeWine selecting John Usted for this seat. Between you 0:12:09.890 --> 0:12:12.449 and me, I think anybody other than Usted had a 0:12:12.490 --> 0:12:15.630 better chance of winning. And I say that because John 0:12:15.750 --> 0:12:19.860 Usted still gets thought of as in the shutdowns, the 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.589 close downs, the Amy Acton, everybody that talks about Amy 0:12:23.660 --> 0:12:26.930 Acton and the closing of the schools and the closing 0:12:27.010 --> 0:12:31.050 of businesses, you have to remember there were two people 0:12:31.090 --> 0:12:35.040 standing next to Amy Acton, Governor DeWine and Lieutenant Governor 0:12:35.740 --> 0:12:40.679 John Usted. So why would you pick him in the 0:12:40.740 --> 0:12:44.420 Senate to be the next nominee and also take the 0:12:44.460 --> 0:12:47.120 Senate seat when you know there are a lot of 0:12:47.140 --> 0:12:52.960 Republicans out there that do not support Mike, John Newstead. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.100 I was going to say Mike Dwan. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.820 John Newstead. And I think that's a problem. 0:12:56.020 --> 0:13:01.699 Yeah. I mean, we could say anybody at this point. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.500 And we know that poll that came out, it's about 0:13:05.540 --> 0:13:09.090 a year ago, that 40% of the population of Ohio 0:13:09.150 --> 0:13:12.730 didn't know who John Husted was. What could have happened 0:13:12.770 --> 0:13:15.810 to him in Washington that didn't happen? How could the 0:13:15.910 --> 0:13:19.020 Senate have taken better care of him so that he 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.179 had a more high profile or a higher profile than 0:13:22.220 --> 0:13:24.099 what he has? Because I haven't seen him in a 0:13:24.179 --> 0:13:28.180 lot of high profile events in Washington. He doesn't seem 0:13:28.210 --> 0:13:31.429 to be a regular on the cable news channels. I mean, 0:13:31.450 --> 0:13:33.329 did the Senate let this guy down at all, in 0:13:33.370 --> 0:13:33.850 your opinion? 0:13:35.309 --> 0:13:37.150 No, and I got to tell you, here's what happens. 0:13:37.210 --> 0:13:42.080 The Senate defends those that are already senators. And the 0:13:42.150 --> 0:13:46.120 longer your seniority is, the more they defend you. So 0:13:46.140 --> 0:13:50.620 if you start to look around, the Senate is dumping tremendous. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.020 And don't by the way, there's a lot of money 0:13:53.059 --> 0:13:57.280 coming into Ohio for John Usted as well. But, you know, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.680 I'm seeing the Senate really spending a lot of time 0:14:00.750 --> 0:14:03.590 and energy trying to beef up the Texas race and 0:14:03.630 --> 0:14:03.910 some of. 0:14:03.870 --> 0:14:06.240 The other races. Let's face it. 0:14:06.290 --> 0:14:10.030 This is a this is not a good year for Republicans. 0:14:10.090 --> 0:14:13.390 And we've been talking about that. It's a it's a 0:14:13.429 --> 0:14:17.420 midterm election where we have a Republican president who only 0:14:17.460 --> 0:14:20.740 has about a 25 percent approval rating in most categories. 0:14:21.470 --> 0:14:25.770 which means that Republicans already have a serious headwind, and 0:14:25.810 --> 0:14:30.710 the Senate is trying to protect their long-term senators, not 0:14:30.870 --> 0:14:33.010 one who's only been there a year or two. So 0:14:33.570 --> 0:14:35.650 if you look at all the money that's being spent 0:14:35.690 --> 0:14:38.109 in most of the other places, a lot of it 0:14:38.150 --> 0:14:42.580 goes to the more, I would say, senior members of 0:14:42.630 --> 0:14:48.359 the Senate. But they're also giving John Newstead some opportunities. 0:14:48.500 --> 0:14:51.560 And the sad thing is, And I hate to say 0:14:51.620 --> 0:14:53.600 this because I've heard this from a lot of people. 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.700 John just doesn't look like he wants that seat. You know, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.660 I think he really, in his heart of all hearts, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.560 wants to be governor of Ohio. And the Senate seat 0:15:03.100 --> 0:15:05.690 is something he took because he knew he wasn't going 0:15:05.710 --> 0:15:07.690 to be able to beat Vivek Ramaswamy. 0:15:08.690 --> 0:15:11.330 How late is too late in these races? Because CNN 0:15:11.370 --> 0:15:14.450 this week has Brown up six and Acton up eight. 0:15:15.050 --> 0:15:16.830 And again, you and I have talked about polling enough. 0:15:16.950 --> 0:15:18.930 I think we both agree that it's flawed, but it's 0:15:18.950 --> 0:15:20.910 the only thing that we have here in this country 0:15:20.950 --> 0:15:24.090 to determine who's doing what and how well. But here 0:15:24.130 --> 0:15:26.740 we are less than a month out. Brown plus six, 0:15:26.860 --> 0:15:30.060 Acton plus eight. How late is too late and how 0:15:30.100 --> 0:15:32.160 big a margin is too big a margin right now 0:15:32.180 --> 0:15:32.680 to overcome? 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.040 Well, I think anything can change. Look, early voting just started. 0:15:38.060 --> 0:15:41.600 I will tell you that if you go back to 2024, 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.560 when we were doing daily polling, which we're doing now, 0:15:45.420 --> 0:15:50.630 Donald Trump was struggling in August and September and Bernie 0:15:50.670 --> 0:15:55.010 Marino was losing in August and September. And then in October, 0:15:55.030 --> 0:15:59.450 the money poured in. Things changed. Trump actually started to 0:15:59.490 --> 0:16:03.410 gain some momentum. Bernie Marino gained some momentum. And Bernie 0:16:03.460 --> 0:16:06.460 ended up winning, not by as much as Donald Trump, 0:16:07.260 --> 0:16:09.520 but I think by three, three and a half percentage points. 0:16:10.060 --> 0:16:13.860 So things can change. I've got to tell you, they 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.320 only change with a lot of money. And there is 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.340 a lot of money being poured in right now. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:19.160 I see. 0:16:20.500 --> 0:16:26.690 Ad after ad after ad attacking Houston, attacking Brown, attacking 0:16:26.770 --> 0:16:29.150 Amy Acton. So a lot of money is going on 0:16:29.210 --> 0:16:32.250 right now. And I think in the end, Things are 0:16:32.290 --> 0:16:38.100 getting better for Republicans right now, but the atmosphere is 0:16:38.140 --> 0:16:42.260 still not good. And turnout, by the way, is unbelievable. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.300 If you look at some of these counties, the early 0:16:44.340 --> 0:16:47.140 voting turnout, I don't know who's showing up because you 0:16:47.180 --> 0:16:49.300 can't tell whether Republican or Democrat. 0:16:49.780 --> 0:16:50.800 But I did. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.100 I early voted in Medina County and there was a 0:16:54.180 --> 0:16:58.260 strong turnout there. And they were telling me it appears 0:16:58.300 --> 0:16:59.500 to be leaning Democrats. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.400 So we'll see what happens. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.890 Jim Bernaysi, our guest, former Republican congressman, northeast Ohio. Yeah, 0:17:05.630 --> 0:17:09.210 I voted this week as well. It was not any 0:17:09.250 --> 0:17:12.110 kind of a wait. I mean, they claimed, the poll 0:17:12.150 --> 0:17:15.050 workers claimed that it ebbs and flows, as it probably 0:17:15.090 --> 0:17:17.389 does depending on the time of the day. But I 0:17:17.910 --> 0:17:19.679 went in and I did early voting. And one of 0:17:19.700 --> 0:17:22.179 the issues on the ballot this year in Ohio is 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.640 issue three, which, and help me explain this, because I 0:17:25.700 --> 0:17:28.320 had to show my driver's license for me to get 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.190 a ballot. So what is issue three, which is voter 0:17:31.290 --> 0:17:34.399 ID or a picture of voter ID? What does that do? 0:17:34.460 --> 0:17:38.439 I already have to show a license to get my ballot. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.060 What does issue three really do? 0:17:41.670 --> 0:17:43.570 Well, all it does is it puts it in the 0:17:43.710 --> 0:17:46.050 Ohio Constitution, which is one of the things that I'm 0:17:46.150 --> 0:17:49.260 somewhat opposed to, although I did vote for it, because 0:17:49.300 --> 0:17:51.679 I do believe you should show an ID. The problem 0:17:51.700 --> 0:17:55.740 is we fill up our Constitution with Christmas tree ornaments. 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.820 We have in our Constitution that four people can own 0:18:00.220 --> 0:18:04.470 casinos in the state. We have in our Constitution about abortion. 0:18:04.490 --> 0:18:07.149 We have But the problem is voter ID is already 0:18:07.190 --> 0:18:10.010 a law. It's already a law that's passed. It's already 0:18:10.030 --> 0:18:12.609 a law that we follow. And it would take a 0:18:12.650 --> 0:18:14.909 House and Senate and a governor. 0:18:14.590 --> 0:18:18.190 To change that law. But what we've decided to do 0:18:18.230 --> 0:18:20.189 is say, well, let's put it in the Constitution. 0:18:20.290 --> 0:18:23.730 So, again, I guess what you do is you safeguard 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.659 it with a constitutional amendment and you put in the 0:18:27.700 --> 0:18:31.199 Constitution that, yes, you have to have this. But in 0:18:31.220 --> 0:18:34.760 the end, I think we do way too much in 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.420 our Constitution than is necessary. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.159 But this is the reason. It's just a safeguard of 0:18:40.180 --> 0:18:40.520 the law. 0:18:40.700 --> 0:18:42.620 OK, so what if it fails? It just goes right 0:18:42.660 --> 0:18:44.520 back to where it is today, right? I mean, it 0:18:44.580 --> 0:18:46.240 doesn't go away. It just goes back to where we 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:46.680 are today. 0:18:46.700 --> 0:18:50.639 Yeah, because it's actually if it fails, we're going to 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.580 do what's in the in the issue anyway. We're going 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:55.639 to show an ID, which we do anyway, because it's 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:55.959 the law. 0:18:57.859 --> 0:19:00.359 Jim Racy always makes sense. How do you do that, Jim? 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.300 How are you such a sensible guy? How does that, 0:19:02.340 --> 0:19:04.420 did that come naturally to you? Did you take courses? 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.899 How did it come so naturally to you? 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:07.340 You know what? 0:19:07.420 --> 0:19:08.800 I don't know, but I got to tell you, when 0:19:08.820 --> 0:19:11.740 I was in Washington and in politics, you learn to 0:19:11.790 --> 0:19:13.790 see what doesn't make sense and you. 0:19:13.670 --> 0:19:16.390 Just do the rehearsal. 0:19:16.410 --> 0:19:18.129 You stay well and you hit them straight. We'll be 0:19:18.150 --> 0:19:18.889 in touch. Thanks. 0:19:19.810 --> 0:19:21.070 All right. You too. Take care. 0:19:21.130 --> 0:19:26.760 You bet. You bet. The money's still in on, on Brown. The, the, um, 0:19:28.230 --> 0:19:31.540 Republicans haven't polled TV ads here in Ohio. They still 0:19:31.619 --> 0:19:35.659 think this thing is doable. And if you look at 0:19:35.700 --> 0:19:38.980 the polling, and again, polling is what it is. It 0:19:39.060 --> 0:19:41.830 is not the most reliable. There's no question about that. 0:19:43.650 --> 0:19:47.270 But if you look at where each one of these candidates, 0:19:47.350 --> 0:19:49.810 I speak of Ramaswamy and Houston, have had to dig 0:19:49.830 --> 0:19:54.000 their way through. Unpopular president, poll that came out last 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:58.359 December that said Mike DeWine's popularity inside of Ohio was 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:04.340 about 24%. No debates, no primaries. So how in the 0:20:04.380 --> 0:20:06.859 hell do they get their message outside the tent, outside 0:20:06.900 --> 0:20:10.720 the base? That's what digging the hole, coming out of 0:20:10.740 --> 0:20:14.940 the hole looks like in politics. It's 1228 on this Saturday. 0:20:15.810 --> 0:20:18.770 Ken Brew, NewsRadio 700 WLW. 0:20:19.609 --> 0:20:22.510 Hey pros, join Floor & Decor at their new Florence 0:20:22.570 --> 0:20:26.109 location on Thursday, October 15th, starting at 5 p.m. for 0:20:26.130 --> 0:20:27.730 their grand opening celebration. 0:20:27.750 --> 0:20:28.119 NewsRadio 700 WLW. 0:20:28.130 --> 0:20:36.699 Welcome on in. A loaded show today. Oh, we're loaded today. Absolutely. 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.040 We may even be so loaded by the time Sterling 0:20:40.100 --> 0:20:44.260 shows up at 3 o'clock. They might have to carry 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.200 us out of here in a satchel. That's how loaded 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:48.770 we are. Got a lot of great guests lined up 0:20:48.830 --> 0:20:51.949 on the show today. First of all, that whole botched 0:20:52.070 --> 0:20:55.810 execution in Tennessee this week. Apparently, you. 0:20:57.550 --> 0:20:57.690 Know. 0:20:58.619 --> 0:21:01.719 It's not something that is an anomaly to what was 0:21:01.780 --> 0:21:07.660 going on with Krista Pike. It has happened before. And now, 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.960 of course, the guy that's in charge of executions in 0:21:09.980 --> 0:21:16.880 Tennessee and the governor as well have backed off these executions. 0:21:16.900 --> 0:21:20.710 The guy that was in charge of them has quit. 0:21:21.510 --> 0:21:24.090 And the governor, who's termed out, he will not be 0:21:24.109 --> 0:21:28.610 in office after January. He's saying right now that all 0:21:28.710 --> 0:21:33.770 executions are basically on hold. So we're going to get 0:21:33.850 --> 0:21:36.750 into whether or not it's time to get back to 0:21:36.810 --> 0:21:40.300 where people in this country who committed a crime that 0:21:40.380 --> 0:21:46.260 required capital punishment should not be, shall we say, executed 0:21:46.859 --> 0:21:49.480 by something other than lethal injection. Is it time to 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:54.360 go back to electricity or gas? I've got somebody who 0:21:54.500 --> 0:21:57.990 will join me today that says not only yes, But 0:21:58.050 --> 0:22:02.170 let's stop all of these appeals upon appeals upon appeals 0:22:02.250 --> 0:22:05.879 so you don't get to what happened with Krista Pike. 0:22:06.900 --> 0:22:11.100 Not only a botched execution, but 31 years after her 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:18.260 sentence was handed down, she still was not executed. Why 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:22.679 does that happen? Anyway, that's one of the topics we're 0:22:22.700 --> 0:22:28.550 going to tangle with today. UFOs and UAPs. Is there 0:22:28.609 --> 0:22:34.850 some sort of religious connection between UFOs and UAPs? Someone 0:22:34.869 --> 0:22:39.760 who has served multiple terms in Afghanistan and Iraq, a 0:22:39.859 --> 0:22:44.240 soldier who has the equivalency of Green Beret, has written 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.420 a book and he said, yes, that you can tie 0:22:47.580 --> 0:22:54.250 everything that's going on with unidentified flying objects to religion 0:22:54.410 --> 0:23:00.350 and in specific Christianity. Also on the show today, people 0:23:00.380 --> 0:23:03.429 that want to look young. Who doesn't want to look young? Well, 0:23:03.450 --> 0:23:06.150 there's this gimmick that's out there right now. You can 0:23:06.210 --> 0:23:08.490 put it underneath your chin, tie it around your ears, 0:23:08.550 --> 0:23:11.429 and it claims it will tighten your neck. You know, 0:23:11.470 --> 0:23:13.190 as you get older, you might not have noticed this, 0:23:13.250 --> 0:23:15.730 but as you get older, man, woman, doesn't matter, you 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.230 get a little bit of a turkey neck. You get 0:23:17.260 --> 0:23:19.899 a little bit of a gobble neck down there. Well, 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:21.760 there's a thing on the market right now for $ 20 0:23:21.700 --> 0:23:23.619 that can cure it. But, I mean, what are you 0:23:23.660 --> 0:23:26.270 paying for and does it really work? Maybe you've seen it. 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.790 Maybe you've tried it. Maybe you've tried it. face tightening creams. 0:23:30.350 --> 0:23:32.730 So what are you really spending your money on and 0:23:32.770 --> 0:23:36.990 does it really work? And also we'll be joined by 0:23:37.050 --> 0:23:44.250 danhope11warriors. com because the Ohio State University takes on Maryland today. 0:23:44.310 --> 0:23:48.889 That is at 415 up in Columbus. It seems to 0:23:48.930 --> 0:23:51.780 be just a minor distraction on the road to what 0:23:51.859 --> 0:23:56.060 should be the biggest game of the season in college football. 0:23:56.940 --> 0:23:59.610 And the biggest game of the season so far for 0:23:59.830 --> 0:24:02.909 the Ohio State University. That would be next week when 0:24:02.950 --> 0:24:06.710 they travel to Bloomington, Indiana. You know, I mentioned it 0:24:06.750 --> 0:24:11.260 was 1138. But as you and I both know, it's 0:24:11.260 --> 0:24:16.080 5 o'clock somewhere. There's one for you. Oh, there's one 0:24:16.100 --> 0:24:23.020 for me. How about you, AJ? Off the top again. Yes, yes, yes, yes. 0:24:23.580 --> 0:24:27.100 I've just got time for one more round. 0:24:27.500 --> 0:24:30.459 Sit him up, my friend. Yeah, then what happens? 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.180 Then I'll be gone. 0:24:33.580 --> 0:24:39.430 Then you can let some other fool sit down. Yeah, 0:24:39.450 --> 0:24:40.230 that'll be Sterling. 0:24:40.270 --> 0:24:40.909 He's in a three. 0:24:42.070 --> 0:24:44.410 Who knows what state he'll be in as he arrives. 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:47.639 Danged well better be in the state of Ohio. I 0:24:47.660 --> 0:24:53.380 mentioned Ohio State. 4-15 kick up in Columbus against Maryland. 0:24:54.260 --> 0:24:57.340 Ryan Day says the key to his football team that, 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.200 you know, stumbled in Texas but otherwise has played very, 0:25:01.270 --> 0:25:04.050 very well, said the key to his football team is 0:25:04.090 --> 0:25:07.210 to keep getting better, keep improving, keep doing the things 0:25:07.230 --> 0:25:09.770 that make that team what it should be. 0:25:10.290 --> 0:25:12.909 That's our challenge, and we've embraced it. I think our 0:25:12.950 --> 0:25:15.899 coaches are into it. I think the players are into it. Um, and, 0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.040 and the biggest thing I keep talking about is that 0:25:18.060 --> 0:25:21.159 we have to keep challenging each other. And sometimes it's 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.220 okay to challenge somebody and be wrong because you care 0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.350 enough that you want, you want them to maximize who 0:25:26.369 --> 0:25:29.790 they are. Um, so that's, that's, and we're, it's in 0:25:29.810 --> 0:25:31.149 a race against time right now. Like we've got to 0:25:31.190 --> 0:25:33.090 get better this week against Maryland. We've got to take 0:25:33.130 --> 0:25:35.950 the next step and upgrade, uh, everything that we're doing. 0:25:36.010 --> 0:25:36.109 So. 0:25:36.980 --> 0:25:39.260 So those are some of the messages we have right now, 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:40.540 some of the thoughts I have about the team. 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:43.700 Well, I mean, that sounds like a guy that's got 0:25:43.740 --> 0:25:49.070 a team that's pretty deep and pretty darn good. And 0:25:49.330 --> 0:25:53.830 we'll see. Maryland is not good. It's in Columbus. They 0:25:53.869 --> 0:25:55.330 ought to win the game. I don't think there's any 0:25:55.430 --> 0:25:58.850 question they should win the game. Do they cover? I 0:25:58.869 --> 0:26:01.389 don't know. But it doesn't matter because next week is 0:26:01.450 --> 0:26:03.970 the week. And so all you want to do is 0:26:04.020 --> 0:26:07.340 make sure you don't proverbially, you know, the old proverbial 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:11.100 set-up game, trap game. I don't think that's coming at all. 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:18.300 We've got Kentucky scheduled tonight in Lexington against No. 10 LSU. 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.260 And as I said, it's going to be sloppy. I mean, 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.540 the rain is coming from that hurricane, right? By the way, 0:26:24.660 --> 0:26:28.280 why don't– Can anybody pronounce the name of this hurricane? 0:26:28.300 --> 0:26:33.020 I mean, seriously, can anybody pronounce the name of this hurricane? 0:26:34.740 --> 0:26:38.149 What happened to just giving hurricanes names you can pronounce? See, 0:26:38.170 --> 0:26:41.650 this is a little pet peeve of mine. Along with, 0:26:42.430 --> 0:26:46.150 if you get a prescription hurricane, for a drug from your, your, 0:26:46.230 --> 0:26:49.889 your pharmacist or from your physician for your, your pharmacist, 0:26:50.430 --> 0:26:54.410 or you see these, these commercials on TV, whether advertising 0:26:54.450 --> 0:26:57.050 these drug companies and all that, why do they give 0:26:57.090 --> 0:27:01.980 them names? Nobody knows. Why can't they just name pills 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.180 with common names? You know, I mean, why do you 0:27:06.220 --> 0:27:08.980 have to have in tibio and this and that, and 0:27:09.020 --> 0:27:13.000 this CEO and all that, and all these names, you know, ruddle, ruddle, ruddle, ruddle, 0:27:13.020 --> 0:27:16.690 just name it. Whatever it is, it's like if you 0:27:16.730 --> 0:27:19.899 got like a heart pill, right? Instead of naming it, 0:27:19.930 --> 0:27:22.690 you know, all these crazy names, just say heart pill. 0:27:23.310 --> 0:27:27.840 Pill for heart. Pill for rapid heartbeat. Something like that 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.240 as opposed to these names. That drives me crazy too. Anyway, 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.780 I'm off the topic here. This hurricane with a name 0:27:33.820 --> 0:27:37.899 nobody can pronounce will probably play into what's going on 0:27:38.510 --> 0:27:44.010 in Lexington tonight. Will Stein has this team playing so well. 0:27:45.619 --> 0:27:49.000 doing so many different things. One of the things it 0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:53.420 can't do, which is interesting, it's dead last in the country. Kentucky, 0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:59.070 dead last in the country, converting third downs. Well, there's 0:27:59.109 --> 0:28:02.370 a reason. They don't get themselves in many third down situations, 0:28:02.730 --> 0:28:05.530 and they do convert on second down. But when you 0:28:05.550 --> 0:28:07.969 look at the raw stat, it says this team is 0:28:08.090 --> 0:28:11.790 dead last in the country, third down situations. Here's Stein 0:28:11.830 --> 0:28:13.820 talking about that. Earlier this week. 0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:16.960 To be last in the country in any statistical category 0:28:17.100 --> 0:28:19.239 is not good. And so we work every single day 0:28:19.330 --> 0:28:22.179 on it. And it's about throwing and catching and protecting 0:28:22.220 --> 0:28:25.250 the quarterback. And then being mobile like Kenny was on 0:28:25.290 --> 0:28:27.250 second downs to go get the first with his feet. 0:28:27.290 --> 0:28:32.950 That always helps. Kenny Menchie. Seven o'clock kickoff tonight in Lexington. 0:28:34.770 --> 0:28:37.670 Chuck Martin. I love Chuck Martin. I happen to think 0:28:37.710 --> 0:28:40.250 Chuck Martin is the best football coach in the MAAC community. 0:28:40.940 --> 0:28:43.410 Miami should have won last week. They did not win 0:28:43.450 --> 0:28:48.990 last week. Martin has his team today in Massachusetts take 0:28:49.130 --> 0:28:52.690 on the Minutemen. Massachusetts in the back, as you well know. 0:28:54.150 --> 0:28:57.670 Miami should have won last week. Miami is really a 0:28:57.690 --> 0:29:04.900 team that's struggling right now at quarterback. They don't have 0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:10.510 their starting quarterback. They don't have their second string quarterback. 0:29:10.550 --> 0:29:13.550 They're down to a third string quarterback right now. And 0:29:13.610 --> 0:29:16.790 yet Martin has figured out a way to make his 0:29:16.850 --> 0:29:19.870 team competitive. He's figured out a way to stay in 0:29:19.930 --> 0:29:23.730 ball games where, you know, I think other coaches would 0:29:23.770 --> 0:29:27.410 probably just say, you know, it may not be working out. 0:29:28.430 --> 0:29:31.220 So this week he was talking about what could have been, 0:29:31.940 --> 0:29:34.960 what could have been a great, great story last week. 0:29:35.910 --> 0:29:38.620 You know, they played Connecticut a couple of weeks ago 0:29:38.660 --> 0:29:39.160 and they won 24-21. 0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:40.330 24-21. 0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.520 But then they got back to Oxford last week against 0:29:44.580 --> 0:29:47.770 Bowling Green, and they laid an egg. Bowling Green hadn't 0:29:47.810 --> 0:29:50.870 won a football game, it seemed like, since Moby Dick 0:29:50.910 --> 0:29:56.530 was a minnow. And Miami loses it 24-20. Here's Martin. 0:29:56.570 --> 0:29:59.190 He's got to regroup his team this week, get it focused, 0:29:59.330 --> 0:30:02.620 try to get it back on track. And he understands 0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:03.720 what happened last week. 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:05.720 Obviously, disappointed in the last drive that we let him 0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.940 go down the score. Should have been a hard-fought victory 0:30:09.220 --> 0:30:12.800 and come from behind victory and victory with your third-team quarterback. 0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:15.790 There have been a lot of great storylines, but then 0:30:16.390 --> 0:30:18.330 you have a drive at the end and now you're 0:30:18.350 --> 0:30:19.370 0-1 the league. 0:30:19.810 --> 0:30:23.910 Yeah, 0-1 the league. Can't tell you a whole lot 0:30:23.950 --> 0:30:27.090 about Massachusetts players. Here that they've got a pretty good quarterback. 0:30:27.670 --> 0:30:30.350 Here that they can run the ball very well. Here 0:30:30.390 --> 0:30:33.520 that they convert third downs pretty well. But other than that, 0:30:33.910 --> 0:30:36.380 couldn't tell you too much about them. That's, though, who 0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:40.380 Miami gets today. And that kicks off at 2 o'clock. 0:30:40.380 --> 0:30:47.470 2 o'clock Cincinnati time up in Amherst, Massachusetts. Of course, 0:30:47.550 --> 0:30:51.210 UC is off this week. They play West Virginia next week. 0:30:52.430 --> 0:30:57.190 And Scott Satterfield was talking about that situation and how 0:30:57.270 --> 0:31:00.570 it might help his team. I think West Virginia plays 0:31:00.630 --> 0:31:02.650 Arizona this week. Am I right about that? I think 0:31:02.690 --> 0:31:05.180 they do. Anyway, it's going to help his team this 0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:09.520 week get not only players healthy, but back on track 0:31:09.660 --> 0:31:13.660 after they got whacked out in Tucson last Saturday night. 0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:14.800 Here's Satterfield. 0:31:14.860 --> 0:31:18.890 Healing up and working on our execution fundamentals and maybe 0:31:18.930 --> 0:31:20.489 dial back some things that we don't need to do. 0:31:21.270 --> 0:31:23.010 and then really focus on the things that we're good at. 0:31:23.590 --> 0:31:25.410 You know, and then, you know, we get to see 0:31:25.990 --> 0:31:28.410 West Virginia this weekend against Arizona, obviously a team we 0:31:28.430 --> 0:31:28.930 just played. 0:31:28.990 --> 0:31:30.170 So it's going to be good to see that. 0:31:31.260 --> 0:31:33.260 And we know West Virginia is a man, one of 0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:36.360 the top Russian teams in the country and you know, 0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:39.719 a dynamic quarterback and running back. So, I mean, defensively, 0:31:39.740 --> 0:31:42.020 we know what we got to do. We got to 0:31:42.060 --> 0:31:45.830 stop those guys running the football. And then offensively, we 0:31:45.850 --> 0:31:47.470 got to find ways that we can move the ball. 0:31:47.490 --> 0:31:49.840 And I think, This will be a great week for that. 0:31:49.980 --> 0:31:52.520 Yeah, it will be. But you play West Virginia, they 0:31:52.540 --> 0:31:54.610 can grind it out. They can grind it out on 0:31:54.620 --> 0:31:57.010 the ground. You can't let them get into that situation. 0:31:57.030 --> 0:32:01.170 But that is down the road. Tonight, and it's still scheduled, 0:32:01.190 --> 0:32:07.130 FC Cincinnati is playing at Atlanta. Now, Atlanta is bearing 0:32:07.150 --> 0:32:11.170 the brunt of this storm right now with the hurricane 0:32:11.190 --> 0:32:17.020 that nobody can pronounce. Atlanta plays inside. It's a dome stadium, 0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:20.140 same place where the Falcons play. But of course, there's 0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:22.580 a concern for fans getting to the game and whatnot 0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:26.600 and all that. So we're keeping an eye on that. Meanwhile, 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:30.080 Pat Noonan, his team, like every other MLS team, has 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.160 had a couple of weeks off because of another international break. 0:32:34.270 --> 0:32:36.990 Thank God the schedule next year is more in tune 0:32:37.010 --> 0:32:41.110 to what goes on in the EPL and other European leagues. 0:32:41.130 --> 0:32:44.650 But that's a whole different topic. Nevertheless, he's had a 0:32:44.690 --> 0:32:46.930 couple of weeks to regroup his team that has been, 0:32:47.270 --> 0:32:52.200 let's just say, more than mildly disappointing this year. They 0:32:52.220 --> 0:32:55.560 still have a pulse. They still can make the MLS playoffs. 0:32:56.300 --> 0:33:01.200 They play like every other, each week, they got seven 0:33:01.220 --> 0:33:03.920 games left. They play twice a week now for the 0:33:03.980 --> 0:33:08.070 balance of the MLS season. So it's a sprint now 0:33:08.150 --> 0:33:11.530 to the end. And Noonan was talking about that and 0:33:11.590 --> 0:33:15.330 how he's going to handle These last seven games that 0:33:15.370 --> 0:33:19.750 come in rapidity, starting with Atlanta tonight. I didn't want 0:33:19.770 --> 0:33:21.710 to get into the future about what happens in the 0:33:21.770 --> 0:33:23.870 next seven games. This is what Noonan said. 0:33:24.270 --> 0:33:28.180 We're preparing for Atlanta. We don't have an approach other 0:33:28.220 --> 0:33:31.820 than we know the schedule as far as the seven games. 0:33:31.980 --> 0:33:35.520 We have to put together a good performance against Atlanta 0:33:35.540 --> 0:33:37.360 and go from there. That's just kind of where we're at. 0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:38.300 I think. 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:42.060 The good part is the health for the most part 0:33:42.100 --> 0:33:47.000 of the group is giving us good bodies, and we're 0:33:47.020 --> 0:33:49.900 going to need those bodies through this stretch. That's what 0:33:49.940 --> 0:33:53.400 we know. But as far as a long-term plan or 0:33:53.420 --> 0:33:55.400 a plan that gets us through it, we need to 0:33:55.420 --> 0:33:57.160 have a good performance against Atlanta and go from there. 0:33:57.260 --> 0:34:01.200 Well, that's tonight. You can hear it on ESPN 1530, 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:06.150 all the play-by-play action there. The Bengals tomorrow, six-and-a-half-point favorites. 0:34:06.910 --> 0:34:09.390 They're in Miami. It is going to be oppressively hot. 0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:14.180 We're reporting the temperature to be somewhere around 88, 89 degrees. 0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:17.069 But on the field, and I was told this by 0:34:17.120 --> 0:34:20.930 somebody who was at the last Miami game, in the 0:34:21.010 --> 0:34:25.069 sun where that stadium sits and in the sun is 0:34:25.110 --> 0:34:30.110 where the Bengals bench will be, last game, temperature on 0:34:30.150 --> 0:34:34.710 the field was 112 degrees. It's going to be, I mean, 0:34:34.730 --> 0:34:36.930 there's no way around it. The Bengals are going to 0:34:36.950 --> 0:34:40.960 have to deal with the heat. Bengals, as I said, 0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:43.660 six and a half point favorites, largely because the Dolphins 0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:47.020 are 0-4. The Dolphins are 0-4 because at critical times 0:34:47.060 --> 0:34:49.590 in the first four games, they have not made plays. Bingo, 0:34:49.610 --> 0:34:52.910 that's it. They don't stink. They just haven't answered the 0:34:53.010 --> 0:34:59.410 bell when they needed to. So they seem to be improving. Meanwhile, 0:34:59.430 --> 0:35:04.410 here's Joe Burrow this week on what transpired last Sunday 0:35:04.610 --> 0:35:08.140 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a game, as we all know, 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:12.880 the Bengals lost. And they were, this week, the people 0:35:12.900 --> 0:35:16.560 that cover the Bengals, local media, was asking Joe Burrow 0:35:16.580 --> 0:35:20.319 about if he had any regrets about that game, about 0:35:20.420 --> 0:35:22.910 anything that he looked at and said, I'm not too 0:35:22.950 --> 0:35:23.730 happy about that. 0:35:24.090 --> 0:35:27.450 You know, obviously the red zone interception is the one 0:35:27.489 --> 0:35:33.509 that really stands out as one that was easily avoided 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:37.799 and put our team behind the eight ball. So I 0:35:37.820 --> 0:35:39.140 can't make those critical. 0:35:38.820 --> 0:35:39.480 Mistakes like that. 0:35:39.830 --> 0:35:46.290 No, you can't, and that's certainly a concern going forward. 0:35:46.330 --> 0:35:49.029 I don't think that was the compelling reason why they 0:35:49.050 --> 0:35:51.890 lost that game. Meanwhile, as they said in Miami, they 0:35:51.910 --> 0:35:56.130 have Malik Willis at quarterback. Their offensive line isn't bad. 0:35:57.190 --> 0:36:00.340 They've got some really good young talent in their defensive secondary. 0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:04.719 Head coach is Jeff Halfley. First year down there, he 0:36:04.900 --> 0:36:09.680 replaced Mike McDonald. I'm sorry. Yeah, Mike McDaniel. I'm sorry. 0:36:10.910 --> 0:36:13.470 And it's his first year down in Miami. And, you know, 0:36:13.570 --> 0:36:17.490 he's seen Burrow before. He's seen this Bengals offense before. And, 0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.100 you know, I mean, it's not his first rodeo. He 0:36:20.140 --> 0:36:22.900 knows what's coming. It starts the quarterback. 0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:25.440 I think he's one of the best quarterbacks in our league. 0:36:25.900 --> 0:36:28.040 And he's had a ton of success. A ton of success. 0:36:28.100 --> 0:36:30.960 And he plays the game the right way. And he's 0:36:30.980 --> 0:36:33.960 super talented. And then you combine that with an offensive 0:36:33.980 --> 0:36:36.480 line that can protect, take it a step further. 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.299 And now I've already talked about Chase, right? And then 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:39.580 you've got. 0:36:40.100 --> 0:36:42.540 higgins and then you have the tight end who plays 0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.620 like a wide receiver so i mean there's a lot 0:36:45.660 --> 0:36:48.520 of things that you can't just pick one the whole 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:50.880 entire game right so you got to pick and choose 0:36:50.940 --> 0:36:53.440 as you go what's the down and distance what what 0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:55.420 scenario are we in the red zone are we on 0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:58.400 third down is it third and medium versus third and 0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:00.799 long there's so many things that go into my head 0:37:00.860 --> 0:37:02.940 even as i'm just thinking about this right now like 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.259 who's the go-to in this situation i think we got 0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:08.009 to stop right you can't stop everybody Because if you 0:37:08.030 --> 0:37:10.090 try to stop everybody, you're not going to stop anything. 0:37:11.410 --> 0:37:15.509 I'm looking at the injury report Friday and looking at 0:37:15.530 --> 0:37:19.230 what transpired at practice. It looks like Jamar Chase is 0:37:19.270 --> 0:37:22.210 going to play. It doesn't look like T. Higgins is 0:37:22.250 --> 0:37:25.670 going to play. Now, I could be dead wrong, but 0:37:26.050 --> 0:37:30.620 Chase was in uniform and practicing on Friday, and Higgins 0:37:30.660 --> 0:37:33.420 was not. So if I had to lay money on 0:37:33.540 --> 0:37:36.560 all of this, it would be that Higgins doesn't play, 0:37:36.620 --> 0:37:44.819 Chase plays. Meanwhile, Zach Taylor, two and two. You look 0:37:44.840 --> 0:37:48.810 at some of the maneuvering inside these four games, and 0:37:49.090 --> 0:37:51.830 there's a couple of head-scratching moments with him. You know 0:37:51.850 --> 0:37:55.550 who he used to be? The offensive coordinator at Miami 0:37:55.590 --> 0:37:57.719 with the Dolphins. It was a transition year. The head 0:37:57.780 --> 0:38:02.500 coach got fired. He moved up. So anyway. He was 0:38:02.540 --> 0:38:05.290 looking at the Dolphins this week, and I think he's 0:38:05.430 --> 0:38:08.730 echoing what I said. This team, this Dolphins team doesn't stink. 0:38:09.450 --> 0:38:14.049 It's just inopportune times. It just has not played well. 0:38:14.130 --> 0:38:17.029 You're absolutely right in that there's just some things in 0:38:17.070 --> 0:38:19.620 those games that have kind of shot themselves in the 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:23.400 foot a little bit, similar to our losses, that you 0:38:23.540 --> 0:38:26.820 could be in a totally different record right now, and 0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:29.569 the conversation about you is different. 0:38:29.620 --> 0:38:31.850 But They're good. 0:38:32.570 --> 0:38:34.170 And if we're not on top of it, they're a 0:38:34.310 --> 0:38:36.010 team that can get after you when you go down there. 0:38:36.050 --> 0:38:39.380 And so our players understand that. We've watched the tape. 0:38:39.460 --> 0:38:40.660 So all you got to do is watch the tape, 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:42.040 and you see what's there, and you can see what 0:38:42.060 --> 0:38:45.520 they're building. So they've got our attention. 0:38:45.540 --> 0:38:49.860 Yeah, and it's going to be hot. Don't dismiss that factor. 0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.230 Don't dismiss that factor. I mean, not just, it's going 0:38:53.250 --> 0:38:56.509 to be like 81. It's going to be hot. And 0:38:56.550 --> 0:39:00.000 so we'll see what conditionings. Each one of these teams 0:39:00.060 --> 0:39:02.640 is in. But anyway, that's tomorrow. Six and a half 0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:06.020 point favorite, the Bengals are. And of course, our coverage 0:39:06.060 --> 0:39:11.760 begins at 9.06 tomorrow morning. Right here. Okay, straight ahead. 0:39:13.020 --> 0:39:16.390 After a botched execution, is it time to go back 0:39:16.450 --> 0:39:21.930 to the bad old ways of killing people on death row? 0:39:22.090 --> 0:39:26.530 And why do families of victims always seem to get 0:39:26.830 --> 0:39:31.400 left aside? when the folks is on the person who 0:39:31.500 --> 0:39:35.339 perpetrated the crime and was convicted of it? We'll get 0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:38.380 into all of that in just a moment. It is 0:39:38.380 --> 0:39:41.360 1256 on this Saturday afternoon.

Make a statement with your countertops. 0:40:21.430 --> 0:40:28.250 Visit stonestatements.com. No UC football this weekend? Bearcats are off. 0:40:28.770 --> 0:40:30.680 Don't have that to look forward to. Plenty of other 0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:34.690 college football we will be keeping an eye on. Well, 0:40:34.710 --> 0:40:40.690 you probably know by now that Krista Pike, who was 0:40:40.770 --> 0:40:46.649 convicted of just a horrific crime back in 1995, where 0:40:46.710 --> 0:40:51.459 she not only was convicted of murdering a young lady, 0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:54.980 but also keeping a souvenir, part of the young lady's skull. 0:40:57.200 --> 0:41:04.180 And Krista Pike spent 30 years in a Tennessee jail, prison, 0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:08.839 waiting to finally be executed, which was supposed to take 0:41:08.900 --> 0:41:14.819 effect this past week. And in that death chamber where 0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:18.020 she was going to be lethally injected to end her 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:22.460 life for the crime she committed, it was botched. Second 0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:27.040 time the state of Tennessee has botched a lethal injection 0:41:28.219 --> 0:41:31.959 in the last year. And so she now becomes the 0:41:32.300 --> 0:41:40.759 first person to be, I guess, an attempted execution. First 0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:44.480 person in history to survive it. She's now out of 0:41:44.530 --> 0:41:48.509 the hospital. She's walking, talking, and eating and has been 0:41:48.570 --> 0:41:52.690 sent back to prison so she can await her fate 0:41:52.750 --> 0:41:56.529 yet again. There is a chance that they could get 0:41:56.570 --> 0:41:59.540 her to a state where she can be then executed 0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:05.100 by some other means. Firing squad, electric chair, these things 0:42:05.140 --> 0:42:11.900 have been discussed inside the governor's administration in Tennessee. Governor, 0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:16.390 of course, is termed limit out. He's done after this 0:42:16.430 --> 0:42:20.570 particular year. And there is a governor's race that's ongoing 0:42:20.750 --> 0:42:25.290 in Tennessee. The Republican candidate, Senator Marsha Blackburn, said that 0:42:25.330 --> 0:42:30.469 she would favor the electric chair for Krista Pike. There 0:42:30.489 --> 0:42:34.530 are other stories surrounding this execution. She requested an all-female 0:42:34.630 --> 0:42:37.770 team to administer the drugs that were supposed to kill her. 0:42:39.030 --> 0:42:42.069 There are other things that are floating around Tennessee that 0:42:42.170 --> 0:42:45.009 this was not a botched execution, but it was a 0:42:45.110 --> 0:42:50.930 deliberate attempt to keep the woman alive. Meanwhile, we're just 0:42:50.989 --> 0:42:55.960 fresh off the Lindsay Clancy fiasco. Lindsay Clancy, of course, 0:42:56.020 --> 0:43:00.500 the woman who murdered her three children, And then in, 0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.040 I guess, a fit of hysteria or some sort of 0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:07.280 other mental state, jumped out a window and paralyzed herself. 0:43:09.380 --> 0:43:14.200 Her trial ended in a mistrial when one juror held 0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:17.640 out saying, no, no, no, this woman is guilty. The 0:43:17.700 --> 0:43:20.000 other jurors, the other 11 said, no, she's not guilty. 0:43:21.260 --> 0:43:23.680 And so all the focus turned on that juror that 0:43:23.739 --> 0:43:26.839 held out when all he was trying to do was 0:43:26.890 --> 0:43:31.129 what he thought was his job. But what's going on here? 0:43:31.290 --> 0:43:33.870 And why is there this cottage industry that has popped 0:43:33.989 --> 0:43:37.680 up where people seem to be rallying behind the person 0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:40.779 who committed the crime as opposed to the victim and 0:43:40.820 --> 0:43:44.900 the victim's families? And is it time yet again to 0:43:44.940 --> 0:43:50.319 revisit in states that use lethal injections to carry out 0:43:50.460 --> 0:43:54.640 executions to say, you know what? Maybe it's not working. 0:43:55.219 --> 0:43:57.610 Maybe we got to go back to the old fashioned stuff. 0:43:59.219 --> 0:44:02.160 Standing by is somebody who believes that might be the case. 0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:07.430 He is a, I guess for lack of a better description, 0:44:07.510 --> 0:44:12.450 is a radio personality, analyst, columnist in New Orleans. His 0:44:12.510 --> 0:44:14.810 name is Jeff Crowe. I've had Jeff on the show 0:44:14.850 --> 0:44:18.740 many times before. He has a television program on the 0:44:18.820 --> 0:44:23.180 television network Real America's Voice. And he is someone that's saying, look, 0:44:23.260 --> 0:44:28.339 enough with this nonsense. Let's not forget who's really the 0:44:28.380 --> 0:44:33.100 victim here, and that is the victim. Jeff Kroer, how 0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:34.540 are you on this glorious Saturday? 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:38.360 Well, that's a very good point, Ken. I mean, the focus, 0:44:38.420 --> 0:44:41.570 the priority should be with the victims and their families, 0:44:42.850 --> 0:44:45.730 not with the killer. And it seems like there's all 0:44:45.790 --> 0:44:47.930 this sympathy for the killer. We want to make sure 0:44:47.969 --> 0:44:51.089 that the execution is not too painful, so we can't 0:44:51.110 --> 0:44:54.210 do the electric chair, can't do the firing squad. We 0:44:54.250 --> 0:44:58.290 have to do a lethal injection. And the killer, Krista Pike, 0:44:58.610 --> 0:45:02.910 who brutally committed this murder 31 years ago with her 0:45:02.930 --> 0:45:07.469 boyfriend at the time and used box cutters and a 0:45:08.469 --> 0:45:14.140 hunk of asphalt to kill her victim. And this has 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:17.640 been dragging on for so long. She demanded to be 0:45:17.700 --> 0:45:22.900 killed by only women. So for some ridiculous reason, the 0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:27.450 state of Tennessee allowed her to get her requests. And obviously, 0:45:27.530 --> 0:45:31.450 the folks who were administering the supposedly lethal drug didn't 0:45:31.489 --> 0:45:34.160 know what the heck they were doing and botched it. 0:45:34.930 --> 0:45:38.189 And in the audience was a lady named May Martinez, 0:45:38.850 --> 0:45:42.120 the victim's mother, who had traveled all the way from 0:45:42.180 --> 0:45:46.080 Florida to Tennessee to witness the execution, waiting 31 years 0:45:46.140 --> 0:45:51.279 for justice and still not receiving it. And no apology, 0:45:51.540 --> 0:45:54.969 no communication from the state of Tennessee to this poor lady. 0:45:56.000 --> 0:45:59.520 And she was obviously very angry after what happened. 0:45:59.540 --> 0:46:01.239 Sure, and I would be too. And I think the 0:46:01.300 --> 0:46:05.360 other detail is, I mean, Pike not only committed this crime, 0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:07.330 was not only convicted of this crime, she tried to 0:46:07.350 --> 0:46:09.310 keep a souvenir from the crime. She tried to keep 0:46:09.350 --> 0:46:12.410 the skull or a piece of the skull from the 0:46:12.469 --> 0:46:14.850 person she murdered. I mean, that is not exactly a 0:46:16.550 --> 0:46:18.710 person of sound mind to begin with, but now her 0:46:18.750 --> 0:46:21.660 attorneys are seeking to have her sentence commuted. They want 0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:24.110 her sentence commuted. And then I guess the other side 0:46:24.140 --> 0:46:26.690 of it is there are people there that want to 0:46:26.790 --> 0:46:29.089 wake her up or put her in some sort of 0:46:29.230 --> 0:46:32.810 state where they can actually finish the job. What is 0:46:33.070 --> 0:46:37.890 closure for the victim's family and also justice for the 0:46:37.930 --> 0:46:40.610 person that committed the crime? Where does the answer lie? 0:46:41.640 --> 0:46:45.319 Death for this murderer. And it should have been done 0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:47.420 31 years ago or at least 30 years ago when 0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:51.640 she was convicted because she was convicted in 1996. It's 0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:55.279 outrageous that these death row inmates, and we have one 0:46:55.320 --> 0:47:00.780 here in Louisiana, the former police officer that killed people 0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:04.779 at a Vietnamese restaurant where she was supposedly doing security. 0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:08.660 She's been on death row since the mid-90s, so over 0:47:08.660 --> 0:47:12.760 30 years. Krista Byke was on death row for 31 years. 0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:19.870 And we're paying for her housing, her food, her health care. Obviously, 0:47:19.930 --> 0:47:22.630 her lawyers, all this the public is paying for for 0:47:22.690 --> 0:47:25.810 all these years while the victim's family has to suffer. 0:47:26.690 --> 0:47:29.029 And then she gets her wish as to who executes her. 0:47:29.090 --> 0:47:30.969 And then it's done in a way where they obviously 0:47:30.989 --> 0:47:32.810 don't know what they're doing because they had botched one 0:47:32.850 --> 0:47:38.040 a few months before. So, I mean, the Keystone cops 0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:42.860 running the guy ahead of corrections has now resigned, thankfully. But, 0:47:42.900 --> 0:47:45.200 I mean, they should follow the lead of South Carolina, 0:47:45.280 --> 0:47:48.000 which does this via firing squad. I mean, you have 0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:52.630 no doubt then. I mean, that person is going to die. 0:47:53.370 --> 0:47:55.609 And that's what Christa Pike deserves. 0:47:55.650 --> 0:47:58.589 You raised a great point. Therein lies the rub with 0:47:58.610 --> 0:48:01.650 the legal system. These things can go on ad infinitum 0:48:01.810 --> 0:48:05.839 through appeal and appeal upon appeal. But it's also small 0:48:05.860 --> 0:48:08.810 in the cottage industry. of people that are just out 0:48:08.870 --> 0:48:13.009 there protesting against whatever, against the death penalty or for 0:48:13.090 --> 0:48:15.989 justice for Lindsay or, in this case, justice for Krista. 0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:19.680 Where are we as a society when we have these 0:48:19.780 --> 0:48:22.799 kinds of people out there doing these things for people 0:48:22.820 --> 0:48:26.060 that have committed heinous crimes? 0:48:27.040 --> 0:48:31.480 We're upside down, Ken. I mean, it's insane that people 0:48:31.500 --> 0:48:34.940 are advocating for Lindsay Clancy and Krista Pike, both of 0:48:34.980 --> 0:48:38.810 them murderers. I don't have any sympathy for Lindsey Clancy. 0:48:38.850 --> 0:48:43.310 I think she should be executed. I think obviously the 0:48:43.350 --> 0:48:46.830 same thing for Krista Pike. Immediately, the governor's put a 0:48:46.850 --> 0:48:50.750 halt to all executions now in Tennessee as they figure 0:48:50.790 --> 0:48:52.650 out what the heck they're going to do after all 0:48:52.690 --> 0:48:57.550 these mistakes. So maybe the last person that they tried 0:48:57.610 --> 0:49:02.100 to execute and they failed, he's now got to reprieve 0:49:02.140 --> 0:49:04.590 for a full year. We'll see what's going to happen 0:49:04.620 --> 0:49:07.430 with Krista Pike. Certainly she's not going to be executed 0:49:07.670 --> 0:49:11.910 any time this year, maybe in 2027, or maybe she'll 0:49:11.930 --> 0:49:15.610 get some sort of legal relief somehow. I don't understand, again, 0:49:15.630 --> 0:49:19.420 why all the sympathy for people that are they're heinous murderers. 0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:22.600 What about Lindsay Clancy's children? You know, what about the 0:49:22.940 --> 0:49:26.580 the family of this poor victim of Krista Pike? I mean, 0:49:26.600 --> 0:49:28.719 it just goes on and on, and this is indicative 0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:31.420 of our society today. We've got messed up people that 0:49:31.480 --> 0:49:37.460 are advocating for Luigi Mangione, the killer of the health 0:49:37.500 --> 0:49:42.050 care executive in New York, brutally killed on the street, father, husband. 0:49:42.690 --> 0:49:45.489 And people are out there. One woman was going to 0:49:45.530 --> 0:49:48.970 marry the AI of Luigi Mangione. I mean, it's crazy. 0:49:50.190 --> 0:49:54.580 You mentioned justice for Colleen Slimmer's family. And you mentioned 0:49:54.620 --> 0:49:56.480 it earlier. Where does that come from now? I mean, 0:49:56.540 --> 0:50:00.279 as the pike saga now continues and whether or not 0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:03.310 that sentence gets commuted. So, I mean, I think that 0:50:03.450 --> 0:50:06.469 that whole thing is lost in the wash as well. 0:50:06.510 --> 0:50:08.930 I guess they go home to Florida where their home is, 0:50:08.989 --> 0:50:10.910 and I guess they wait it out even more. 0:50:11.030 --> 0:50:11.390 I mean, they. 0:50:12.070 --> 0:50:15.430 Can you imagine this mother? I mean, this mother lost 0:50:15.550 --> 0:50:22.270 a 19-year-old, Colleen, 19-year-old child. I mean, young adult with 0:50:22.310 --> 0:50:25.970 her life in front of her. And now, 31 years later, 0:50:26.090 --> 0:50:29.820 still waiting for justice. No one communicates with her. No 0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:33.160 one apologizes to her. She's on her own. Has to 0:50:33.200 --> 0:50:38.520 find her own travel expenses to go there. Treated like trash, 0:50:38.660 --> 0:50:41.020 just like her daughter was. I mean, we've got a 0:50:41.100 --> 0:50:44.880 sick society where we have people that are so concerned 0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:50.200 about murderers and not concerned about victims and their families. 0:50:50.300 --> 0:50:54.830 It's really sick. And I like what Pete Egg says 0:50:54.870 --> 0:50:59.900 just announced yesterday that this Nadal Hassan, another horrific murderer, 0:50:59.960 --> 0:51:02.820 killed 13 at Fort Hood, is going to be executed 0:51:02.860 --> 0:51:04.680 by firing squad and they're going to live stream it. 0:51:04.680 --> 0:51:07.029 I don't have a problem with that at all. I 0:51:07.070 --> 0:51:11.210 think that that's a deterrent. If you make this public 0:51:11.310 --> 0:51:14.299 and you make it sure and then swift. It's going 0:51:14.320 --> 0:51:17.950 to save lives. I think capital punishment, it saves lives. 0:51:17.969 --> 0:51:18.850 I think it's pro-life. 0:51:19.210 --> 0:51:19.690 I really do. 0:51:20.170 --> 0:51:25.670 You mentioned the former Army psychiatrist, Nadelle Halik-Kabad, who in 0:51:25.670 --> 0:51:30.180 2013 was convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder, 32 0:51:30.180 --> 0:51:34.450 more counts of attempted murder. At Fort Hood. Yeah. I mean, 0:51:34.770 --> 0:51:37.810 this is going to be live streamed. At least that's 0:51:37.850 --> 0:51:40.580 the plan. We'll see. There's always you know, there's always 0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:43.880 one good judge that'll stand between that and it happening. 0:51:43.920 --> 0:51:45.080 But yeah. 0:51:45.200 --> 0:51:45.439 Right. 0:51:45.540 --> 0:51:45.759 Yeah. 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:48.640 But my point being is, is being in favor of 0:51:48.680 --> 0:51:50.680 something like that. You know, there'll be people that will 0:51:50.700 --> 0:51:53.990 be horrified by the even thought, let alone seeing it. 0:51:54.040 --> 0:51:55.560 So how do you how do you reconcile that? 0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:59.720 Well, we used to do these things publicly in the country, 0:52:00.100 --> 0:52:02.700 and it seems like we had more law and order 0:52:02.719 --> 0:52:07.540 at that time. Again, the interest and the concern and 0:52:07.580 --> 0:52:11.220 the sympathy has been for the wrong individual, the murderer, 0:52:11.320 --> 0:52:14.970 the criminals, as opposed to the victims. In the Fort 0:52:14.989 --> 0:52:16.670 Hood case, it's going to be done at the exact 0:52:16.710 --> 0:52:19.989 same time that he committed those murders. Again, I think 0:52:20.030 --> 0:52:22.109 we had to wait way too long. He committed them 0:52:22.170 --> 0:52:27.109 in 2009. It took 17 years, but... You know, better 0:52:27.150 --> 0:52:30.490 late than never for the justice for those family members. 0:52:31.410 --> 0:52:35.180 So I think if this happens more regularly, again, this 0:52:35.239 --> 0:52:37.580 can be used as more of a deterrent than it 0:52:37.660 --> 0:52:39.660 is now, because now you have people that go on 0:52:39.700 --> 0:52:43.940 death row and just languish there for decades. And we've 0:52:43.960 --> 0:52:48.780 lost that deterrent. Only 27 states have the death penalty. 0:52:49.260 --> 0:52:51.360 In four of those states, the governor has put a 0:52:52.500 --> 0:52:55.310 halt to them. There's only 23 states that are actually 0:52:55.330 --> 0:53:00.270 executing violent criminals. Here in Louisiana, we've done very few. 0:53:00.290 --> 0:53:05.049 Texas is really the leader in doing this to people 0:53:05.070 --> 0:53:07.339 that deserve it, you know, criminals and convicted. 0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:11.739 Jeff Crowe is our guest, political analyst, columnist, radio, television personality. 0:53:12.489 --> 0:53:14.430 in New Orleans, and you can see him on Real 0:53:14.450 --> 0:53:17.850 America's Voice. And if you're in New Orleans, he's on 0:53:18.150 --> 0:53:23.120 WGSO 990 on your AM dial. I've heard, let's go 0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:25.040 back to the electric chair, let's go back to the 0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:28.580 gas chamber. I think lethal injections, the impetus for that 0:53:28.620 --> 0:53:32.100 was it was allegedly more humane than the other two. 0:53:33.239 --> 0:53:35.680 Do you sense the American public would have an appetite 0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:38.140 to go back to the chair or the gas chamber? 0:53:39.300 --> 0:53:42.680 I would certainly hope so. It is being done in 0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:46.020 South Carolina. I think in Utah they have it as 0:53:46.060 --> 0:53:52.969 a backup method if lethal injection fails. So I would 0:53:53.030 --> 0:53:56.890 hope one day our country gets back to prioritizing victims 0:53:57.010 --> 0:54:02.760 over criminals. especially convicted murderers, and that we would welcome 0:54:02.780 --> 0:54:07.310 a way that's certainly sure and certain. And a revision 0:54:07.370 --> 0:54:10.790 of our criminal justice system, which has sort of gone haywire, 0:54:11.550 --> 0:54:17.110 with these, you know, decades wait between the crime and justice. 0:54:17.700 --> 0:54:19.919 I understand, you know, we need to make sure that 0:54:19.960 --> 0:54:23.460 that person on death row committed those crimes. But once 0:54:23.520 --> 0:54:27.419 all those avenues have been exhausted, I mean, it needs 0:54:27.460 --> 0:54:30.540 to happen. And sadly, we're not seeing it very often. 0:54:30.560 --> 0:54:33.430 And when it does, now we're seeing them botched. It's 0:54:33.489 --> 0:54:35.170 just it's terrible. 0:54:35.670 --> 0:54:38.160 Yeah, and again, it's the length of time between when 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:40.920 a conviction is handed down and when a sentencing is 0:54:41.140 --> 0:54:45.360 actually carried out. I mean, Pike has been going on 0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:48.160 for over 30 years. Now, the Clancy thing has only 0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:52.750 been three. The shooter at Fort Hood, that's been going 0:54:52.850 --> 0:54:57.150 on for 13 years. It's appeal after appeal after appeal, 0:54:57.290 --> 0:55:00.799 and the only people getting rich are the lawyers. I mean, 0:55:00.820 --> 0:55:02.279 that's kind of like where it's at right now. Is 0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:03.580 it not judicially. 0:55:03.100 --> 0:55:06.740 In this country? Yeah, the lawyers, the special interest groups, 0:55:06.780 --> 0:55:12.259 the politicians, I mean, they're all making a killing, so 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:15.310 to speak, financial killing and all of this. By the way, 0:55:15.370 --> 0:55:20.830 of course, as was stated by the former British prime 0:55:20.850 --> 0:55:24.049 minister back in the 1860s, I mean, justice delayed is 0:55:24.090 --> 0:55:26.669 justice denied. I mean, that's what we're seeing here. 0:55:26.690 --> 0:55:27.170 Yeah. 0:55:28.630 --> 0:55:31.430 We've got to rectify that as a society, in my opinion, 0:55:31.710 --> 0:55:35.609 and maybe this case will draw more attention to what 0:55:35.650 --> 0:55:37.969 is going on, certainly the Lindsay Clancy case. I think 0:55:37.989 --> 0:55:41.190 people have been outraged that we had 11 people on 0:55:41.230 --> 0:55:45.009 that jury that wanted to acquit this murderer, and he 0:55:45.050 --> 0:55:47.790 had one man stand tall and say no, and then 0:55:47.830 --> 0:55:51.610 he gets demonized, and her lawyer goes after this guy. 0:55:52.930 --> 0:55:55.180 I think the lawyer for Lindsay Clancy, Ken, should have 0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:58.660 been disbarred for his atrocious behavior. 0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:05.380 Well, good luck waiting for that. Jeff Croair, thank you 0:56:05.400 --> 0:56:07.240 for your time. Good luck down there in New Orleans. 0:56:07.280 --> 0:56:09.399 Tell Emeril Lagasse we all said hi up here. 0:56:10.900 --> 0:56:13.180 We'll enjoy some good food this weekend. Thank you, Ken. 0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:18.670 I'll bet, because the hurricane missed you. Congratulations on that. Well, 0:56:18.690 --> 0:56:21.700 this Pike thing is interesting. She apparently, again, is out 0:56:21.739 --> 0:56:26.759 of the hospital, and she's walking, and she's talking, and 0:56:26.820 --> 0:56:30.239 she apparently is eating. And she's gone back to the 0:56:30.300 --> 0:56:33.760 prison where she was at, awaiting her execution. It was botched. 0:56:34.950 --> 0:56:39.930 Now her illegal team is trying to get the sentence commuted. 0:56:41.570 --> 0:56:44.430 We'll see how successful they are. Again, all of this 0:56:45.430 --> 0:56:48.870 depends on the judge in the courtroom. And anybody that 0:56:48.890 --> 0:56:51.009 can predict what a judge in a courtroom is going 0:56:51.030 --> 0:56:55.890 to do, I'd like to meet them. But it does 0:56:55.989 --> 0:56:59.000 raise into question, and he is absolutely correct, you've got 0:56:59.000 --> 0:57:08.060 27 states that have legalized the death penalty. And if 0:57:08.100 --> 0:57:11.080 this is a problem in Tennessee, maybe it was bad drugs. 0:57:11.160 --> 0:57:13.300 I don't know. Maybe it was people that did not 0:57:13.340 --> 0:57:19.210 know what they were doing. Maybe there was sabotage. But 0:57:19.250 --> 0:57:21.590 it would have to call into question every other state 0:57:21.630 --> 0:57:26.330 that uses legal injection, right? What are you using? And 0:57:26.530 --> 0:57:33.750 how good is it in terms of making death rapid? Well, 0:57:33.830 --> 0:57:37.730 we'll see. 125 on this Saturday. On a gloomy Saturday 0:57:37.750 --> 0:57:40.820 that's going to get even wetter. Because that hurricane, with 0:57:40.880 --> 0:57:44.460 a name nobody can pronounce, is made landfall and is 0:57:44.500 --> 0:57:46.850 heading up our way. On News Radio 700 WLW. 0:57:49.840 --> 0:57:52.830 I am working to better myself. That's why I'm digging 0:57:52.970 --> 0:57:55.690 this survival bunker in my backyard. So when the big 0:57:55.750 --> 0:57:56.610 one hits, pow! 0:57:57.830 --> 0:58:00.310 I'll be fine while my neighbors get vaporized. 0:58:00.570 --> 0:58:01.070 Suckers. 0:58:01.510 --> 0:58:03.640 That's also why I listen to Scott Sloan. He has 0:58:03.700 --> 0:58:06.740 common sense answers for the problems we all face. And 0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:08.040 he's pretty funny. 0:58:08.240 --> 0:58:10.480 I face the same problems you do. So let's talk 0:58:10.540 --> 0:58:12.060 about them and have a little fun along the way. 0:58:12.100 --> 0:58:16.950 Scott Sloan's the bomb. Check out Sloany Monday morning at 0:58:16.950 --> 0:58:20.030 9 on 700 WLW.

Little Miami Brewing in 0:59:08.190 --> 0:59:13.540 the heart of downtown historic. Milford. This Halloween season, skip 0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:15.860 the treats and go for the G. WLW, welcome back. 0:59:15.960 --> 0:59:18.740 I am Ken Brew. Right here until 3 o'clock today. 0:59:18.740 --> 0:59:26.510 4.15 today, Maryland at Ohio State. And I think Ohio 0:59:26.550 --> 0:59:30.490 State Well, not only will they make the college football playoff, 0:59:30.680 --> 0:59:33.080 I would be really surprised if they didn't make the 0:59:33.120 --> 0:59:36.980 championship game. We're a ways away from getting into any 0:59:37.020 --> 0:59:41.160 deep conversation about that. But they play Maryland today. Maryland 0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:44.510 is not a great football team. In fact, it's not 0:59:44.530 --> 0:59:47.930 a very good football team. The only caveat I would 0:59:47.950 --> 0:59:50.750 put on this game today is because Ohio State plays 0:59:51.130 --> 0:59:55.010 at Indiana next week. I don't think Ryan Day would 0:59:55.030 --> 0:59:57.790 get his team into a position at any time where 0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:00.640 they would overlook one opponent in anticipation of a bigger 1:00:00.700 --> 1:00:05.820 matchup yet to come. But still, there is an element 1:00:05.940 --> 1:00:09.780 of that virtually with every team. And we'll see what 1:00:09.820 --> 1:00:11.960 the weather is like up there. I don't sense that 1:00:12.040 --> 1:00:14.660 weather is going to be a factor, at least initially 1:00:14.760 --> 1:00:17.870 in that game. It may not be at all. Someone 1:00:17.910 --> 1:00:22.130 who will be a factor in that game is Jeremiah Smith. 1:00:22.780 --> 1:00:27.500 Jeremiah Javon Smith. He is without question the best wide 1:00:27.560 --> 1:00:31.610 receiver in college football. He could be the number one 1:00:31.770 --> 1:00:36.170 overall pick in the NFL draft next spring. And he 1:00:36.270 --> 1:00:42.720 is seemingly uncoverable. Every team, including Texas, has struggled to 1:00:42.760 --> 1:00:45.060 cover this guy. And why is that? 1:00:45.200 --> 1:00:45.380 Well. 1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:49.709 He's pretty darn good. That's where it starts. He's pretty 1:00:49.730 --> 1:00:55.050 darn big. He's 6'4, 225 pounds, and he moves well 1:00:55.150 --> 1:00:58.770 with the ball. Well, standing by right now in the 1:00:58.790 --> 1:01:02.320 press box at the SHU, I guess it's the SHU. 1:01:02.420 --> 1:01:04.920 I call it the SHU. Anyway, standing by in the 1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:08.380 press box of the SHU is a man who works 1:01:08.460 --> 1:01:10.840 for one of the best, if not the best, website 1:01:10.910 --> 1:01:14.750 covering Ohio State football. Now, we've had Dan Hope from 1:01:14.750 --> 1:01:17.870 11 Warriors on the show many times because we like 1:01:17.890 --> 1:01:21.530 Dan Hope. We like Dan Hope because he knows Ohio 1:01:21.550 --> 1:01:24.180 State football inside and out. We also like him because 1:01:24.220 --> 1:01:26.580 he's working today and he's giving us some time here 1:01:26.620 --> 1:01:29.520 about an hour and a half, two hours before kickoff. 1:01:30.020 --> 1:01:31.900 Let's bring him on in. Dan Hope, how are you 1:01:31.940 --> 1:01:33.180 on this glorious game day? 1:01:34.080 --> 1:01:35.260 I'm doing great, Ken. How are you? 1:01:35.460 --> 1:01:37.900 I'm fired up about this game. Now, listen, we'll leave 1:01:37.920 --> 1:01:40.220 the whys and the wherefores to the game in just 1:01:40.280 --> 1:01:45.050 a second. How good is Jeremiah Smith? And in your opinion, 1:01:45.550 --> 1:01:48.670 if the NFL draft happened today, would he be the 1:01:48.730 --> 1:01:49.930 number one overall pick? 1:01:51.130 --> 1:01:52.850 Yes, he should be at least. 1:01:53.050 --> 1:01:57.690 Because, I mean, what he's doing is truly unprecedented at 1:01:57.770 --> 1:01:58.370 Ohio State. 1:01:58.430 --> 1:02:01.160 And you just think about all the great receivers who 1:02:01.200 --> 1:02:02.070 have come through. 1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:05.620 The Ohio State football program. Obviously, guys in the past, 1:02:05.640 --> 1:02:08.080 you know, five, six years, Carnell. 1:02:07.740 --> 1:02:09.720 Tate, Emeka Abuka, Marvin Harrison Jr. 1:02:09.900 --> 1:02:12.980 Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jackson Smith, and Jigba. You name it, 1:02:13.020 --> 1:02:15.840 you go back to guys like David Boston and Chris Carter. 1:02:16.340 --> 1:02:19.480 Jeremiah has now broken all of their records for his career, 1:02:19.900 --> 1:02:21.919 and he just keeps it going. I mean, you think 1:02:21.960 --> 1:02:25.470 about by the end of this season, what the gaps 1:02:25.550 --> 1:02:27.710 are going to look like in terms of how many 1:02:27.770 --> 1:02:32.410 more receiving yards, receptions, and touchdowns Jeremiah Smith has over 1:02:32.470 --> 1:02:37.250 any other receiver in school history. It's truly incredible the 1:02:37.310 --> 1:02:40.470 level at which he is performing right now. And, you know, 1:02:40.510 --> 1:02:43.070 you think about it in terms of that NFL. I mean, 1:02:43.740 --> 1:02:47.100 he really has everything you look for in a prospect. 1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:49.680 I mean, he's obviously got the elite production. He's got 1:02:50.140 --> 1:02:53.180 amazing physical ability. And then you can talk to anybody 1:02:53.300 --> 1:02:55.860 at Ohio State and they talk about this guy's the 1:02:55.880 --> 1:02:59.460 hardest worker on the team. He's humble. He's always looking 1:02:59.480 --> 1:03:03.070 to improve. And so, If I was an NFL GM, 1:03:03.650 --> 1:03:06.210 I sure wouldn't pass up Jeremiah Smith. I think passing 1:03:06.270 --> 1:03:09.050 up Jeremiah Smith is a good way to get yourself 1:03:09.090 --> 1:03:10.170 fired in a few years. 1:03:10.210 --> 1:03:13.570 Julian Sands thrown 13 touchdown passes so far this year, 1:03:13.610 --> 1:03:16.410 and Smith has caught nine of them. Well, okay, you 1:03:16.470 --> 1:03:19.430 rattled off the pedigree at wide receiver at Ohio State. 1:03:19.910 --> 1:03:23.740 What makes him so good? Is it his speed? Is 1:03:24.220 --> 1:03:27.780 it his moves? Is it something more intangible? Why is 1:03:27.800 --> 1:03:28.340 he so good? 1:03:29.500 --> 1:03:31.540 I think it's a combination of all of the above. 1:03:31.560 --> 1:03:33.860 I mean, I talked to Cortez Hankton about that earlier 1:03:33.940 --> 1:03:37.620 this week, about how Jeremiah Smith has taken his game 1:03:37.640 --> 1:03:40.310 to the next level. And that's really what he said. 1:03:40.350 --> 1:03:43.010 I mean, you look at the physical attributes. I mean, 1:03:43.050 --> 1:03:48.010 he's got elite speed. He can make defenders miss. He 1:03:48.050 --> 1:03:52.030 has that phenomenal body control and ability to play. you know, 1:03:52.070 --> 1:03:54.820 make catches over defenders to get a, get feet down 1:03:55.620 --> 1:03:59.800 inside the sideline obviously has great size, but Ben, you know, 1:03:59.820 --> 1:04:03.280 he also has that mentality of he's always looking to 1:04:03.320 --> 1:04:05.760 get better. You know, Ryan, they talked about it this 1:04:05.820 --> 1:04:08.890 week about how, you know, they have to keep finding 1:04:08.950 --> 1:04:11.830 different ways to line him up, to utilize them because 1:04:12.130 --> 1:04:14.150 every defense in the country is going to say, we 1:04:14.170 --> 1:04:17.850 got to stop number four, but she keeps proving that, 1:04:18.070 --> 1:04:20.850 you know, they can line them up outside inside. 1:04:20.890 --> 1:04:21.530 They can run different ways. 1:04:24.870 --> 1:04:25.550 In all of them. 1:04:25.610 --> 1:04:30.350 And so I think he's just such a complete receiver physically, 1:04:30.410 --> 1:04:34.640 and then you take on just that drive, that determination, 1:04:34.660 --> 1:04:36.960 that will to win that he has, and his ability, 1:04:37.380 --> 1:04:40.040 especially now in his third year at Ohio State, to 1:04:40.080 --> 1:04:42.380 process a lot mentally and to be able to do 1:04:43.040 --> 1:04:44.860 so many different things that they ask him to do 1:04:44.880 --> 1:04:48.000 within the offense. I think he's really just the total package. 1:04:49.020 --> 1:04:53.100 They've played, right now, five games, right? They're 4-1 Ohio State. 1:04:53.970 --> 1:04:58.440 And he's halfway already to the number of receptions he 1:04:58.480 --> 1:05:03.120 had last year, which was 87, 76 the year before. 1:05:03.180 --> 1:05:06.170 He's been over 1,200 yards in each of the last 1:05:06.370 --> 1:05:10.150 two seasons, double-digit touchdowns as well. I mean, I'm looking 1:05:10.170 --> 1:05:13.740 at the games and how he has progressed. This could 1:05:13.780 --> 1:05:17.240 be like not only the ultimate season for him, it 1:05:17.300 --> 1:05:20.280 could be the ultimate season really for any wide receiver 1:05:20.640 --> 1:05:23.320 in recent college football. And I know all the names. 1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:26.680 This could be something that is extra special that's happening here. 1:05:26.780 --> 1:05:29.120 Could it not? Absolutely. 1:05:29.180 --> 1:05:31.500 I mean, I think, you know, he's already someone, if 1:05:31.540 --> 1:05:34.080 his career ended right now, we'd already be talking about 1:05:34.140 --> 1:05:36.850 him as one of the all-time great receivers in college 1:05:36.870 --> 1:05:39.450 football history. But if he can continue on this pace, 1:05:39.530 --> 1:05:41.910 I mean, for one, if he continues on this pace, 1:05:41.950 --> 1:05:44.490 he's going to win the Heisman Trophy. And if he can, 1:05:44.510 --> 1:05:46.590 you know, put up the kind of numbers that he's 1:05:46.690 --> 1:05:49.720 on pace for, I mean, even if you take into 1:05:49.760 --> 1:05:53.300 consideration that, okay, they might slow down a little bit 1:05:53.340 --> 1:05:56.040 as he gets into some tougher competition here in the 1:05:56.080 --> 1:06:02.830 second half of the season. I mean, of season certainly 1:06:02.870 --> 1:06:05.910 has the potential for, you know, 17, 18, even 20 1:06:05.910 --> 1:06:08.930 touchdown kind of season, you know, likely going to be 1:06:08.970 --> 1:06:11.730 the first Ohio state receiver with over a hundred receptions 1:06:11.950 --> 1:06:15.180 in a season. And so, yeah, I think, you know, 1:06:15.200 --> 1:06:17.260 Jeremiah Smith is already. 1:06:16.800 --> 1:06:18.700 Put himself in the conversation. 1:06:20.390 --> 1:06:23.220 Not only Ohio State football, but college football as a whole. 1:06:23.540 --> 1:06:25.620 And if he can continue to produce this way for 1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:28.100 the rest of the season, he's going to be very 1:06:28.140 --> 1:06:29.920 much in that conversation. 1:06:29.320 --> 1:06:31.480 For the greatest receiver in college football history. 1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:34.480 Yeah, last wide receiver to win the Heisman was Devontae 1:06:34.560 --> 1:06:38.410 Smith with Alabama. That was in 2020. Of course, Travis 1:06:38.430 --> 1:06:39.950 Hunter won it a couple of years ago, but he 1:06:39.990 --> 1:06:42.390 was a hybrid player, offense and defense. So yeah, I 1:06:42.430 --> 1:06:47.950 think you're dead on. We're chatting with Dan Hope, 11warriors. com, Maryland. 1:06:48.620 --> 1:06:50.800 in Columbus today. I said, I called it the shoe. 1:06:50.840 --> 1:06:52.660 Nobody calls it the shoe anymore. Do they, am I 1:06:52.680 --> 1:06:54.620 just an old guy that can't, can't remember names? 1:06:55.440 --> 1:06:57.120 I think people still call it the shoe. Yeah. 1:06:57.740 --> 1:06:59.990 I mean, that's how I always grew up calling it. 1:07:00.040 --> 1:07:02.640 And I, I know they finished off the end zone, but, um. 1:07:03.280 --> 1:07:03.780 Well, okay. 1:07:03.820 --> 1:07:06.070 That made me feel better. Uh, let's talk a little 1:07:06.110 --> 1:07:08.870 bit about Ohio state. Now, obviously they, you know, we'd 1:07:08.930 --> 1:07:12.230 all know what happened against Texas, but I'm just wondering, 1:07:12.290 --> 1:07:15.450 have you seen anything this year that would lead you 1:07:15.490 --> 1:07:18.350 to believe that that this team will not be playing 1:07:18.390 --> 1:07:19.860 in the championship game this year? 1:07:21.620 --> 1:07:23.320 I wouldn't say anything specific. 1:07:23.440 --> 1:07:26.160 I think their last game against Iowa, I think, was 1:07:26.200 --> 1:07:28.760 their best game of the season all around. I think 1:07:28.800 --> 1:07:32.160 to go to Kinnick Stadium and to play the way 1:07:32.180 --> 1:07:33.990 they did on both sides of the ball, I think 1:07:34.030 --> 1:07:36.830 we saw growth in the run game. I think we 1:07:36.870 --> 1:07:40.530 saw growth from the defense. I came away from that 1:07:40.570 --> 1:07:43.370 game at Iowa feeling like this is a team that's 1:07:43.790 --> 1:07:46.110 you know, capable of anything this year. Now I still 1:07:46.130 --> 1:07:48.070 think there's a lot for them to work on. I mean, 1:07:48.430 --> 1:07:51.900 obviously we talked about Jeremiah Smith and Julian saying, I mean, the, the, 1:07:52.220 --> 1:07:56.400 you know, Jeremiah is phenomenal and this passing offense is 1:07:56.460 --> 1:07:58.920 really explosive as a result, but you know, but you 1:07:58.980 --> 1:08:01.060 look at the running game in particular, I think one 1:08:01.080 --> 1:08:03.360 thing you'd really like to see today is some more 1:08:03.440 --> 1:08:06.100 explosive plays on the ground. Ohio state hasn't had a 1:08:06.160 --> 1:08:09.100 run longer than 17 yards in the last four games. 1:08:09.140 --> 1:08:15.760 So you'd like to see emerge around Jeremiah Smith because 1:08:15.800 --> 1:08:19.280 it has been a very Jeremiah heavy passing game so 1:08:19.320 --> 1:08:22.330 far this year. And then, you know, the defense, I 1:08:22.370 --> 1:08:24.430 don't think this defense is what it was the last 1:08:24.470 --> 1:08:27.490 two years. It's just realistically, you don't have Caleb down. 1:08:27.510 --> 1:08:30.650 You don't have Arville Reese. You don't have Sonny styles anymore. I, I, 1:08:30.729 --> 1:08:33.940 this defense does not have the same level of star power, uh, 1:08:34.280 --> 1:08:36.460 than it did the last couple of years. And so 1:08:36.500 --> 1:08:39.180 I think you're going to need to be able to 1:08:39.260 --> 1:08:42.700 win it a little bit more with your offense this year. But, 1:08:42.979 --> 1:08:45.019 you know, I think you just, you look around college 1:08:45.060 --> 1:08:48.019 football right now, and I think there's probably a group 1:08:48.060 --> 1:08:50.370 of like seven or eight teams that you look at 1:08:50.370 --> 1:08:54.740 as national championship contenders. Certainly Texas is one of those teams, 1:08:54.740 --> 1:08:58.150 Georgia and Alabama who play tonight, Indiana who Ohio State 1:08:58.180 --> 1:09:02.260 plays next week. Miami, Notre Dame. That's kind of that 1:09:02.320 --> 1:09:05.180 top group in there. And you think all of those 1:09:05.240 --> 1:09:09.179 teams are capable of winning the national championship. I can't 1:09:09.220 --> 1:09:10.960 look at Ohio State right now and say that I 1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:14.380 would necessarily put them above that group of teams, but 1:09:14.420 --> 1:09:15.900 I think they're firmly in that group. 1:09:16.100 --> 1:09:19.150 Yeah, Maryland today, full disclosure, when I was in Washington, D.C., 1:09:19.189 --> 1:09:21.870 I was part of their broadcast team. So I have 1:09:21.910 --> 1:09:24.349 a soft spot for Maryland. This, though, should not be 1:09:25.950 --> 1:09:28.090 any tough work today for Ohio State. I mean, you 1:09:28.110 --> 1:09:31.979 never know. But I think Maryland today is going to 1:09:32.020 --> 1:09:35.759 go the same route as Illinois and other schools before 1:09:35.780 --> 1:09:38.580 them this season. The real game next week could be 1:09:38.840 --> 1:09:41.260 the game. We all thought maybe before the season, the 1:09:41.320 --> 1:09:44.160 game would be the one in November against Oregon. May 1:09:44.189 --> 1:09:47.990 still be. Who knows? But next week at Indiana, I mean, 1:09:48.010 --> 1:09:50.350 this is the start of a really rough trek for 1:09:50.510 --> 1:09:54.010 Ohio State. At Indiana, and then in two weeks after that, 1:09:54.130 --> 1:09:56.910 after a bye, you got a game against Southern Cal 1:09:57.110 --> 1:09:59.809 in Los Angeles. And then back home the next week 1:09:59.910 --> 1:10:03.490 against Oregon. So after today, it really gets to be, 1:10:03.640 --> 1:10:07.040 if not rough sledding, interesting sledding for Ohio State, right? 1:10:08.150 --> 1:10:08.650 Absolutely. 1:10:08.670 --> 1:10:11.429 I mean, today is the last, you know, quote unquote, 1:10:11.530 --> 1:10:13.550 easy game of the season for the Buckeyes. I mean, 1:10:13.790 --> 1:10:15.930 even a team like Northwestern who going into the year, 1:10:15.970 --> 1:10:17.410 you probably thought, Hey, that's probably not going to be 1:10:17.430 --> 1:10:19.510 too tough a game. I mean, the way Northwestern's playing 1:10:19.550 --> 1:10:23.910 right now, they're a borderline top 25 team, Nebraska's undefeated. 1:10:23.970 --> 1:10:27.460 And so, you know, really there's not, I mean, if 1:10:27.479 --> 1:10:29.220 you look at that second half of schedule right now, 1:10:29.439 --> 1:10:30.540 who's the worst team ever? 1:10:30.700 --> 1:10:32.540 After today on the schedule, it's Michigan. 1:10:32.720 --> 1:10:35.559 And so there's not going to be an easy game 1:10:35.580 --> 1:10:37.080 the rest of the season after today. 1:10:37.140 --> 1:10:39.340 So today is a good opportunity. 1:10:39.840 --> 1:10:42.980 You'd really like to take care of business early, get 1:10:43.020 --> 1:10:44.550 some of those backups in there on the second half, 1:10:44.570 --> 1:10:47.410 get those guys some rest. But it certainly is going 1:10:47.430 --> 1:10:49.590 to ramp up in a big way next week with 1:10:49.630 --> 1:10:50.470 that trip to Bloomington. 1:10:50.750 --> 1:10:54.010 Well, that will be then. This is Today Against Maryland. 1:10:54.050 --> 1:10:58.170 Dan Hope, 11warriors. com. Enjoy today's game at the SHU. Thanks 1:10:58.210 --> 1:10:59.160 for joining us. Appreciate it. 1:10:59.939 --> 1:11:01.599 Yeah, thanks for having me, Ken. 1:11:01.620 --> 1:11:06.960 That guy knows his stuff. Knows his stuff. What's going 1:11:07.060 --> 1:11:10.689 on in college football at this hour? Well, at Nebraska, 1:11:10.939 --> 1:11:16.550 early moments of the second quarter, Nebraska 10, number 7, 1:11:16.550 --> 1:11:19.930 Indiana 3. Keep your eye, as they say, on that one. 1:11:20.010 --> 1:11:24.570 The rest of college football right now doesn't look anything 1:11:24.729 --> 1:11:28.890 interesting at this point. Oklahoma State, Central Florida, 21-21 at 1:11:28.930 --> 1:11:31.990 the half. They're playing that in Stillwater, Oklahoma. We're at 1:11:31.990 --> 1:11:36.360 151 on this Saturday afternoon. Here till 3 on News 1:11:36.420 --> 1:11:38.600 Radio 700 WLW. 1:11:38.760 --> 1:11:42.240 For 50 years, Sherrod Brown voted how he was told. 1:11:42.260 --> 1:11:47.180 Back to the festivities on this, the Saturday afternoon extravaganza 1:11:47.220 --> 1:11:51.590 presented by Stone Statements. Make a statement with your countertops. 1:11:51.670 --> 1:11:57.430 Visit stonestatements.com. One hour to go. Down the road, we're 1:11:57.450 --> 1:12:01.769 going to be talking about why you should not listen 1:12:01.870 --> 1:12:06.110 to every single piece of financial news that is out there. 1:12:06.850 --> 1:12:09.120 You will drive yourself crazy. I don't care whether you 1:12:09.160 --> 1:12:13.540 have a 401k or not. You will drive yourself insane. 1:12:13.700 --> 1:12:17.769 Someone who can bring clarity to this will join me 1:12:17.820 --> 1:12:22.020 coming up in about a half an hour. So I'm 1:12:22.100 --> 1:12:25.040 sure you're aware that there is more interest and there 1:12:25.180 --> 1:12:30.980 are more reasons to be interested in UFOs, unidentified flying objects, 1:12:31.540 --> 1:12:39.130 and UAPs, UAPs. UAPs are an interesting study as well. 1:12:39.270 --> 1:12:44.870 It's kind of like a wider range of UFOs. But nevertheless, 1:12:46.270 --> 1:12:51.170 the Pentagon has now opened a potentially significant new door 1:12:52.050 --> 1:12:56.150 In UFO disclosures, there's a new legal waiver that's going 1:12:56.189 --> 1:13:01.000 to allow current and former military personnel, civilian employees, and 1:13:01.060 --> 1:13:08.600 contractors to provide UAP-related national defense information directly to authorized 1:13:08.720 --> 1:13:11.059 representatives of the government. You're saying, Ken, wait a minute, 1:13:11.080 --> 1:13:16.010 we've got to trust the government now? My reaction is exactly, 1:13:16.130 --> 1:13:20.730 but nevertheless, there is now a more robust conversation about 1:13:21.270 --> 1:13:25.080 What's flying up in the sky? And exactly where are 1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:28.700 they from? Which brings me to my next guest, who is, 1:13:29.500 --> 1:13:34.920 among other things, a UAP and UFO, not just an enthusiast, 1:13:34.939 --> 1:13:39.099 but somebody that has direct military connection to all of this. 1:13:42.150 --> 1:13:45.610 Peter Bach, Paul Bach, actually. Paul Bach is the author 1:13:45.710 --> 1:13:52.889 of The Disclosure Agenda, A Green Beret's Warning to the Church. Now, 1:13:52.990 --> 1:13:56.970 Paul Bach is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier. 1:13:57.050 --> 1:14:01.730 Think Green Beret. In the Army, Special Forces soldier, but 1:14:01.790 --> 1:14:07.510 think Green Beret. Multiple combat rotations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, 1:14:08.520 --> 1:14:12.980 including a tour with the Special Forces Assessment and Selection Committee. 1:14:14.330 --> 1:14:17.430 And that put him on a platform where he could 1:14:17.530 --> 1:14:25.240 discuss these unidentified anomalous phenomena, UAPs, and what he saw 1:14:25.340 --> 1:14:30.840 when he was in service to our country. It was 1:14:30.880 --> 1:14:32.740 brought to him directly a lot of the things that 1:14:32.780 --> 1:14:36.019 were going on while the United States continues to be 1:14:36.150 --> 1:14:39.530 and when he was there in the Middle East and 1:14:39.590 --> 1:14:43.940 how it relates to UAPs. Met a man by the 1:14:43.979 --> 1:14:47.059 name of Stephen Greer and other prominent figures in the 1:14:47.220 --> 1:14:51.920 UFO disclosure and consciousness movement. So he's got this book out, 1:14:53.320 --> 1:14:56.689 The Disclosure Agenda, A Green Beret's Warning to the Church. 1:14:56.729 --> 1:15:02.229 How is the church involved in all of this? I 1:15:02.270 --> 1:15:04.530 don't know either, but we're going to find out. Let's 1:15:04.550 --> 1:15:07.660 stand by and welcome in Paul Bach. How are you 1:15:07.880 --> 1:15:09.280 on this glorious Saturday? 1:15:09.300 --> 1:15:09.370 Hey. 1:15:10.189 --> 1:15:11.639 Doing well. Doing well. 1:15:11.850 --> 1:15:12.490 I'm glad you're here. 1:15:12.520 --> 1:15:16.620 I've been watching and seeing the beautiful ocean and rocks. 1:15:16.720 --> 1:15:17.320 It's been awesome. 1:15:17.580 --> 1:15:22.139 Oh, that's fantastic. That's fantastic. Now, before we get into 1:15:22.160 --> 1:15:24.080 the whys and the wherefores of you and your book 1:15:24.120 --> 1:15:26.480 and all that, why do you think there has always 1:15:26.520 --> 1:15:32.280 been this fascination with UFOs? And I guess UAPs are 1:15:32.320 --> 1:15:33.979 the new term here. Why do you think we've always 1:15:34.020 --> 1:15:35.059 been fascinated by that? 1:15:36.610 --> 1:15:38.710 Well, I mean, if you really kind of look at 1:15:38.950 --> 1:15:44.260 society and humanity, we're always very interested in the fringe 1:15:44.520 --> 1:15:48.540 or the different or the weird. That's why horror movies 1:15:48.600 --> 1:15:54.309 and sci-fi movies are very popular amongst everybody. We like that. 1:15:54.330 --> 1:15:59.590 There's that interesting whole side of it where it's unknown, 1:15:59.650 --> 1:16:04.650 it's mysterious. That's why you have cosmic horror that people 1:16:04.670 --> 1:16:09.340 absolutely dive into. With ideas like to who, and all 1:16:09.360 --> 1:16:12.000 of these strange, our gods, all this stuff, because I 1:16:12.020 --> 1:16:15.920 think that people are, we just, we enjoy the weird 1:16:15.939 --> 1:16:19.260 man and it's different. It's, it is a sense of 1:16:19.340 --> 1:16:21.700 escape from our everyday. 1:16:21.900 --> 1:16:22.139 Yeah. 1:16:22.280 --> 1:16:24.780 And we don't want to feel like we're alone, right? 1:16:24.800 --> 1:16:27.670 We get in this great Cosmo that we live in, 1:16:27.800 --> 1:16:30.120 whatever it may be, however far it may extend. We 1:16:30.140 --> 1:16:32.910 want to think that there are other things. or people 1:16:33.250 --> 1:16:35.939 out there like us. That could be frightening on one level, 1:16:35.950 --> 1:16:37.680 but on the other level, we don't want to feel 1:16:37.689 --> 1:16:38.679 like we're alone, right? 1:16:38.689 --> 1:16:44.580 That's possible. You know, and that's what is a driving 1:16:44.600 --> 1:16:48.519 factor for some people in a sense that they say, well, 1:16:49.080 --> 1:16:49.719 how could there. 1:16:49.580 --> 1:16:50.260 Not be aliens? 1:16:50.460 --> 1:16:53.420 The universe is so vast. You know, and I think 1:16:53.439 --> 1:16:56.820 to your point, though, about that regarding people not wanting 1:16:56.840 --> 1:16:59.780 to feel like we're alone, you know, I think a 1:16:59.820 --> 1:17:03.400 lot of this really comes back to purpose. and fulfillment. 1:17:05.040 --> 1:17:07.220 If we're the only people here, but with this random 1:17:07.340 --> 1:17:11.480 accident of evolution, then what's our purpose ultimately? So what's, 1:17:11.890 --> 1:17:13.950 you know, and there's that one connection, but it can 1:17:13.990 --> 1:17:14.890 only come through God. 1:17:15.050 --> 1:17:15.270 Right. 1:17:15.750 --> 1:17:19.050 Correct. And you serve this country in uniform where and 1:17:19.070 --> 1:17:19.610 at what level? 1:17:20.950 --> 1:17:21.560 So I. 1:17:23.030 --> 1:17:26.809 I graduated special forces qualification course in 07, rolled to 1:17:26.850 --> 1:17:29.939 fifth special forces group. I did three trips to Iraq, 1:17:30.150 --> 1:17:32.760 one to Afghanistan, and one to Syria. And then I 1:17:32.780 --> 1:17:35.580 was also a special forces assessor in selection cadre. 1:17:35.800 --> 1:17:36.040 Yeah. 1:17:36.520 --> 1:17:41.380 Well, honestly, congratulations on that. And although it always sounds 1:17:41.439 --> 1:17:43.920 trite when I say thank you for your service, to 1:17:43.939 --> 1:17:46.650 your country, we would not exist without people like you. 1:17:46.750 --> 1:17:50.090 But the military also knows a lot more about UFOs 1:17:50.130 --> 1:17:52.670 than me and the rest of the folks walking around 1:17:52.689 --> 1:17:55.770 the streets here in Cincinnati. What do you think or 1:17:55.830 --> 1:17:58.810 what do you know that the military knows about the 1:17:58.970 --> 1:18:03.139 UFO and things that we don't as just mere human 1:18:03.180 --> 1:18:03.680 beings here? 1:18:04.860 --> 1:18:07.680 Well, I think it's even greater than the military. When 1:18:07.700 --> 1:18:12.880 we look at the... documentary age of disclosure on Amazon prime, 1:18:12.920 --> 1:18:16.540 you have very high levels of the intelligence community. And 1:18:16.580 --> 1:18:20.810 this came out on in December. They're saying, Hey, some 1:18:20.830 --> 1:18:23.550 of this is real. Some of this is manmade, but 1:18:23.610 --> 1:18:25.890 some of this is not of this earth. And they 1:18:25.930 --> 1:18:28.130 really don't know what it is. And this is what 1:18:28.229 --> 1:18:30.570 I've seen, especially at my many levels that I've worked 1:18:30.700 --> 1:18:33.929 at here over the last couple of years is they're 1:18:33.950 --> 1:18:35.610 trying to wrap their head around it. And there's a 1:18:35.650 --> 1:18:38.480 lot of different viewpoints as to what it actually is. 1:18:38.800 --> 1:18:42.880 There is not one consensus. They just recognize that it's there, 1:18:44.550 --> 1:18:46.290 but they don't know necessarily what it is. 1:18:46.370 --> 1:18:46.650 Yeah. 1:18:47.050 --> 1:18:49.050 Got you. But there's a couple of things that have 1:18:49.070 --> 1:18:51.560 happened here from what I've been told. The Pentagon has 1:18:51.620 --> 1:18:56.240 now opened this new door into the UFO disclosure debate. 1:18:56.520 --> 1:19:02.280 And I guess now former military personnel or civilian employees, contractors, whatever, 1:19:03.470 --> 1:19:07.930 they now can come forward with UAP-related national defense information 1:19:08.010 --> 1:19:11.170 directly to the U.S. to people, I guess, inside the government. 1:19:11.210 --> 1:19:13.810 Some people that, that do these things, as you well know, Paul, 1:19:13.850 --> 1:19:16.570 they don't trust the government on this, but apparently now 1:19:16.610 --> 1:19:18.630 the government is saying, wait a minute, we're opening our 1:19:18.790 --> 1:19:20.870 arms now, our arms to this. Now, if you've got 1:19:20.930 --> 1:19:23.690 something that you've seen or know, come to us, talk 1:19:23.710 --> 1:19:25.690 to us. We want to know as well. So I 1:19:25.710 --> 1:19:27.030 think that's significant. Don't you? 1:19:27.050 --> 1:19:28.610 I do. 1:19:28.750 --> 1:19:29.150 I do. 1:19:29.840 --> 1:19:32.340 The title of your book is a Green Berets warning 1:19:32.380 --> 1:19:35.320 to the church. Actually, it's the disclosure agenda. The Green 1:19:35.340 --> 1:19:38.350 Berets warning to which to the church. Why the church? 1:19:38.550 --> 1:19:40.990 Because there is a spiritual effect, I think, to all 1:19:41.010 --> 1:19:45.640 of this. And there may be a very profound either 1:19:45.740 --> 1:19:50.720 spiritual or not spiritual reaction to when and if we 1:19:50.760 --> 1:19:53.160 discover that there is life out there and there are 1:19:53.200 --> 1:19:56.040 beings out there. So what's the warning to the church? 1:19:57.280 --> 1:19:59.880 So the warning of the church is that there is 1:19:59.939 --> 1:20:02.100 a belief system that had formed around this that was 1:20:02.140 --> 1:20:07.820 reaching millions of people. There was the fact that this 1:20:07.880 --> 1:20:10.760 belief system and its practices, even though people doing these 1:20:10.800 --> 1:20:13.260 practices and within the space wouldn't necessarily call it a 1:20:13.300 --> 1:20:17.460 belief system. But Diana Sulca, who's a PhD of religious studies, 1:20:18.360 --> 1:20:22.640 she teaches religious studies. She studies religion. She says in 1:20:22.700 --> 1:20:26.960 her book, American Cosmic, I observed the dynamic genesis of 1:20:27.000 --> 1:20:30.160 a global belief system. If a PhD of religious studies 1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:32.710 says I'm watching a religion form, here's all the markers 1:20:32.750 --> 1:20:38.260 of the religion. then you're probably watching a religion form. 1:20:38.300 --> 1:20:41.460 What kind of religion? I mean, you're watching a religion form. 1:20:41.520 --> 1:20:45.800 Catholicism formed centuries ago. It formed largely out of warring 1:20:45.860 --> 1:20:50.670 factions inside the Christian community. What kind of religion is forming? 1:20:51.870 --> 1:20:56.429 So basically, it is a belief system around non-human intelligence 1:20:56.490 --> 1:21:00.950 and UAPs. It has sacred sites like Roswell. You have 1:21:01.030 --> 1:21:05.550 people that are commissioned by non-human intelligence to take forth 1:21:05.590 --> 1:21:10.060 its message like evangelists, apostles, or prophets. They can give signs. 1:21:10.140 --> 1:21:12.400 People have been healed by these things. People have been 1:21:12.420 --> 1:21:15.060 healed by Chris Bledsoe as he prays for them. People 1:21:15.080 --> 1:21:19.400 have been healed, as they claim, by entities. Then they 1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:21.950 go forth and speak of the benevolence of the phenomenon. 1:21:21.970 --> 1:21:22.850 There's practices. 1:21:23.560 --> 1:21:28.710 To make contact with it or receive information. There are denominations, 1:21:28.729 --> 1:21:31.470 you could say, where one part sees them as higher 1:21:31.670 --> 1:21:34.560 evolved species, others see them as angels. And then there's 1:21:34.600 --> 1:21:37.260 another side of it, somewhere in the middle, where you 1:21:37.280 --> 1:21:40.580 kind of get a syncretized system. So kind of whatever 1:21:40.680 --> 1:21:44.700 you want and pick your fancy. And then ultimately. 1:21:46.410 --> 1:21:49.870 The purpose of all of that, as I view the landscape, 1:21:50.310 --> 1:21:54.230 is to guide you into doing a contact protocol. Jesse 1:21:54.270 --> 1:21:58.430 Michaels on American Alchemy on YouTube, back in May, he 1:21:58.550 --> 1:22:03.340 walked his audience through the steps of Stephen Greer's CE5 protocol, 1:22:03.760 --> 1:22:05.680 how to do it. And then at the end of 1:22:05.720 --> 1:22:08.660 the video, he basically gives an evangelistic call like, hey, guys, 1:22:09.420 --> 1:22:11.350 We don't have to wait for the government and a 1:22:12.050 --> 1:22:15.769 UFO in the White House. Non-human intelligence has been contacting 1:22:15.850 --> 1:22:20.570 us through back channels forever. Tribes, occult societies. Hey, we 1:22:20.590 --> 1:22:24.770 can do this. That's at 1.2 million views on YouTube. 1:22:25.050 --> 1:22:26.769 I know that. And I see all that. And I 1:22:26.930 --> 1:22:29.410 think here's the disconnect, I think, for me, certainly, and 1:22:29.430 --> 1:22:30.850 for a lot of people. If all of that is 1:22:30.890 --> 1:22:37.930 going on. Whoever is the force, the beings from another galaxy, 1:22:37.990 --> 1:22:40.940 another place in time, wherever it may be, why don't 1:22:40.950 --> 1:22:42.660 they just come down and land in the middle of 1:22:42.700 --> 1:22:44.979 a football field on a Sunday and say, hey, here 1:22:45.020 --> 1:22:47.860 we are. It's always like these back channels, and it 1:22:47.900 --> 1:22:50.560 never really gets into the full public consciousness. Why do 1:22:50.660 --> 1:22:51.500 you think that's so? 1:22:52.600 --> 1:22:55.720 Because the purpose is deception. If I am going to. 1:22:59.040 --> 1:23:01.940 Lead you down a path to do and believe what 1:23:01.960 --> 1:23:05.660 I want you to believe, I'm going to maneuver and 1:23:05.680 --> 1:23:10.200 manipulate over time to inoculate you, right? Think about when 1:23:10.229 --> 1:23:14.970 this really kicked off in 47 with Roswell and how Christian, right? 1:23:15.050 --> 1:23:18.410 How Christianized most of the West was. And even if 1:23:18.490 --> 1:23:23.750 people were not Christian, they still held to those values 1:23:23.830 --> 1:23:25.759 at times. So if they would have just showed up, 1:23:26.770 --> 1:23:30.630 That would have been a serious ontological shock. Well, so 1:23:30.729 --> 1:23:34.490 over the last 80 years, you've got UFOs constantly in 1:23:34.510 --> 1:23:36.870 the background. In the 70s, there was the New Age movement, 1:23:36.990 --> 1:23:40.240 and suddenly there were these people channeling the Pleiadians, channeling 1:23:40.280 --> 1:23:46.100 these alien races, and bringing messages forward. Then in the 1:23:46.140 --> 1:23:51.120 early 2000s, you had pop atheism, where everybody was an atheist. And... 1:23:51.979 --> 1:23:54.060 If I don't see it, feel it, experience it, I 1:23:54.100 --> 1:23:57.120 don't believe it. In the mid-2000s, a lot of people 1:23:57.160 --> 1:23:59.450 kind of left atheism saying, you know, that doesn't really 1:23:59.530 --> 1:24:03.269 answer my questions. And they began to seek spiritual. And 1:24:03.350 --> 1:24:06.490 about that same time is when we started to see 1:24:06.530 --> 1:24:12.430 random drops around 2012, 2013 of single UAP videos. And 1:24:12.450 --> 1:24:14.550 then we had the TikTok in 18, then a little more, 1:24:14.570 --> 1:24:16.970 then a little more, a little more. And then now 1:24:17.070 --> 1:24:21.260 it's like this dam has broken. The majority of society has... um, 1:24:21.780 --> 1:24:24.729 believes in it. And then boom, you have all of 1:24:24.780 --> 1:24:28.530 these people that are providing answers as to what it is, 1:24:29.110 --> 1:24:31.790 what its intents are and how to interact with it 1:24:32.410 --> 1:24:35.910 from a spiritual perspective, right? You have an eight year 1:24:36.229 --> 1:24:41.960 campaign to influence the populace, to inoculate them to its reality. 1:24:42.580 --> 1:24:46.030 And then you've got people who are, basically the religious 1:24:46.050 --> 1:24:50.670 system prepared now to provide answers to it. So it's 1:24:50.750 --> 1:24:52.559 not just a slam in the face. 1:24:52.680 --> 1:24:54.500 And do you think the government knows all about this? 1:24:54.580 --> 1:24:57.000 That there is some faction of the government that understands 1:24:57.020 --> 1:24:58.100 all of this is going on? 1:24:59.460 --> 1:25:02.060 Well, I mean, J.D. Vance came out and said that 1:25:02.120 --> 1:25:05.860 he believes they're demonic. You know, that's the thing. Some 1:25:05.900 --> 1:25:08.259 of these, but what's interesting is that there's people also 1:25:08.300 --> 1:25:11.040 that view that if Christians say, look, ultimately, this is 1:25:11.080 --> 1:25:14.520 not a God, this is satanic in nature, it's deceptive. Look, 1:25:14.560 --> 1:25:16.460 let's take the whole of it and test it in scripture. 1:25:16.580 --> 1:25:18.980 It doesn't line up. And this isn't just because we 1:25:19.000 --> 1:25:23.500 don't believe in evolution. It's because all of it, it 1:25:23.560 --> 1:25:27.390 mirrors a lot of old things. And it's completely counter 1:25:27.430 --> 1:25:29.590 to the text of Scripture and points away from Christ. 1:25:29.930 --> 1:25:32.790 It's salvation through every other means. And so you have 1:25:32.850 --> 1:25:35.189 some that view them as not of God. Others view 1:25:35.210 --> 1:25:36.850 them as higher of all species. And I find it 1:25:36.930 --> 1:25:43.150 interesting that there are people that think that the Christian 1:25:43.210 --> 1:25:47.410 viewpoint is the problem. And those people are within government. 1:25:48.390 --> 1:25:49.150 That's Lou Elizondo. 1:25:49.170 --> 1:25:49.370 Yeah. 1:25:50.110 --> 1:25:50.450 Okay. 1:25:50.470 --> 1:25:51.930 So, okay. Okay. 1:25:52.350 --> 1:25:55.870 So let's say all of this happens, like there's these 1:25:56.070 --> 1:26:00.769 behind-the-scenes and this manipulation of our society or of the 1:26:00.810 --> 1:26:02.910 world now as we know it has been going on 1:26:02.990 --> 1:26:05.690 for the last 80 years, and we've morphed through all 1:26:05.710 --> 1:26:11.360 of these different religious cycles. Let's say that this happens, 1:26:11.460 --> 1:26:14.979 that they figure out, whoever these people are, they figure out, okay, 1:26:15.000 --> 1:26:16.979 we got them where we want them. Here we are. 1:26:17.100 --> 1:26:19.849 What happens at that point? What happens when they do 1:26:19.870 --> 1:26:22.490 come down? I'm asking more, I guess, for your opinion 1:26:22.530 --> 1:26:26.680 now than any research-based theory. What do you think happens 1:26:26.720 --> 1:26:27.219 at that point? 1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:34.160 So, you know, that's a hypothetical of when and how. 1:26:34.320 --> 1:26:34.599 Yeah. 1:26:35.240 --> 1:26:38.780 And that's where, for me, man, I have no clue. 1:26:38.800 --> 1:26:41.190 Because I don't know if that's actually going to happen. 1:26:41.930 --> 1:26:42.150 Right? 1:26:42.210 --> 1:26:44.670 I don't know. But what I think is going to happen, 1:26:45.010 --> 1:26:46.309 and this is my personal opinion. 1:26:46.350 --> 1:26:46.530 Sure. 1:26:48.060 --> 1:26:49.580 I think that we are going to see an increase 1:26:49.620 --> 1:26:55.229 in this activity. There's two reasons for that. One, we 1:26:55.240 --> 1:27:00.430 have continued to offer our children to demons through the 1:27:00.510 --> 1:27:05.250 act of abortion. We have industrialized mass child sacrifice. And 1:27:05.270 --> 1:27:09.769 what most people have missed is that in tandem, over 1:27:09.790 --> 1:27:14.330 the last however many decades, in tandem, UAP activity has 1:27:14.350 --> 1:27:23.430 increased exponentially. along with the rise and increase of abortion. Second, 1:27:24.250 --> 1:27:28.559 the more people that are doing these contact protocols and 1:27:28.850 --> 1:27:31.180 more and literally millions of more people are being taught 1:27:31.220 --> 1:27:33.599 how to do it due to the influence of these 1:27:33.640 --> 1:27:37.140 people that are big within the space, why would we 1:27:37.200 --> 1:27:39.960 not expect more things to show up in the sky? Now, 1:27:40.000 --> 1:27:41.000 how does that play out? 1:27:41.740 --> 1:27:42.059 Man, I. 1:27:43.750 --> 1:27:46.670 I'm very careful on hypotheticals on stuff like this because 1:27:46.689 --> 1:27:49.010 I have no clue, but I can tell you what 1:27:49.090 --> 1:27:52.810 is happening right now. And so I wouldn't be surprised 1:27:52.850 --> 1:27:58.260 if we see more activity, more appearances, more non-human intelligence 1:27:58.350 --> 1:28:03.280 appearing to people as they summon it. But again, that 1:28:03.320 --> 1:28:06.890 shouldn't surprise us if we're Christians. You reach your head 1:28:06.910 --> 1:28:09.550 into the spirit world, seeking something to answer you, and 1:28:09.570 --> 1:28:11.990 it will answer you back. And you have no control 1:28:12.650 --> 1:28:15.780 over how it presents itself. We know that Satan himself 1:28:15.820 --> 1:28:20.340 can transform himself into an angel of light. This is 1:28:20.360 --> 1:28:24.310 the thing. We're approaching this from a very humanist, naturalistic, 1:28:24.390 --> 1:28:28.889 atheist perspective a lot of times when you can't. We 1:28:29.110 --> 1:28:31.530 act like Satan is this little kitten in a box 1:28:31.570 --> 1:28:34.470 that can't do that much. One angel in one night 1:28:34.510 --> 1:28:38.910 killed 180,000 Assyrians. Somehow, according to Jude 6, the angels 1:28:39.370 --> 1:28:44.780 were able to... disrobe and basically disrobe from their first 1:28:44.840 --> 1:28:48.240 estate as an angelic being come down to earth and 1:28:48.260 --> 1:28:51.519 breed with women. We have no capacity to understand the 1:28:51.540 --> 1:28:54.440 capabilities of a fallen angel, bent on mischief and deception. 1:28:56.729 --> 1:29:00.460 The book is The Disclosure Agenda, A Green Beret's Warning 1:29:00.479 --> 1:29:06.220 to the Church, UAPs, UFOs, and our guest, Paul Bach. Paul, 1:29:06.260 --> 1:29:08.830 interesting stuff. Good luck with the book, and hopefully down 1:29:08.870 --> 1:29:11.250 the road when you write your second or third, we 1:29:11.270 --> 1:29:11.930 can visit again. 1:29:12.010 --> 1:29:13.810 Thanks. Thank you. 1:29:13.970 --> 1:29:22.480 You bet. Well, that's one theory. That's one theory. I 1:29:22.500 --> 1:29:25.120 guess the headline is that at least the government is 1:29:25.160 --> 1:29:28.469 more interested in these things than what it was even 1:29:28.550 --> 1:29:34.290 five years ago. There's more obvious, I guess, evidence that's 1:29:34.410 --> 1:29:38.650 out there that they do exist. But I don't know. 1:29:39.670 --> 1:29:43.660 I don't think the Vatican has really got its shields 1:29:43.760 --> 1:29:47.080 up on this one. But who knows? It could be. Again, 1:29:47.120 --> 1:29:51.970 the book is... The Disclosure Agenda, a Green Beret's warning 1:29:52.310 --> 1:29:58.889 to the church. UFOs, UAPs. Oh, my. 226 on this Saturday. 1:29:58.930 --> 1:30:00.670 Great to have you with us. In a moment, stop 1:30:00.729 --> 1:30:05.170 listening to all the financial advice you're getting. A lot 1:30:05.210 --> 1:30:08.030 of it just might be the opinion of the person 1:30:08.110 --> 1:30:11.450 giving it. Don't worry about the economy. Everything is good. 1:30:12.680 --> 1:30:16.100 Or so says my next guest. On News Radio 700, WLW. 1:30:16.100 --> 1:30:27.410 $ 516 million. 700 WLW. The great John Lord on keyboard here. This, 1:30:27.470 --> 1:30:35.130 of course, is White Snake. Here I go again. 39 1:30:35.130 --> 1:30:37.750 years ago today, this was the number one song in 1:30:38.050 --> 1:30:41.490 the USA. That would be in 1987. Man doth time flee. 1:30:49.520 --> 1:30:52.240 I made reference to John Lord who left this earth 1:30:52.280 --> 1:30:56.100 back in 2012. He was also a member of Deep 1:30:56.160 --> 1:30:58.830 Purple and considered to be one of the finest keyboardists 1:30:58.890 --> 1:31:03.550 in rock music history. Lead singer, of course, is David Coverdale. 1:31:03.990 --> 1:31:08.729 And like most things, all things lead back to Cincinnati. 1:31:09.710 --> 1:31:12.910 I had David Coverdale on the show six years ago. 1:31:12.970 --> 1:31:15.110 We were talking about an album that had just been 1:31:15.170 --> 1:31:20.110 released and final tour for Whitesnake. And he related a 1:31:20.189 --> 1:31:25.349 story about Cincinnati and John Lord that happened many, many 1:31:25.430 --> 1:31:30.390 years ago when White Snake first came into the American consciousness. 1:31:31.090 --> 1:31:34.660 He was in Cincinnati with Lord and, well, here's how 1:31:34.720 --> 1:31:37.020 part of that conversation went. I had with him back 1:31:37.080 --> 1:31:40.420 in 2000. We love you out here. We just love you. 1:31:40.439 --> 1:31:43.560 Thank you so much. Yeah, you're not going to be 1:31:43.600 --> 1:31:44.360 here this summer. 1:31:44.400 --> 1:31:49.189 I'm bummed out. Very close to me. Many, many, many 1:31:49.210 --> 1:31:53.520 years ago, there was a bar in Cincinnati, not far 1:31:53.920 --> 1:31:57.440 from the hotel I was staying, where they had like 1:31:57.540 --> 1:31:59.620 dress-up nights every night of the week. 1:31:59.760 --> 1:32:00.500 One night was. 1:32:00.400 --> 1:32:04.100 Cowboy night with an urban ball. Next night was like David. 1:32:03.840 --> 1:32:04.940 Bowie night or whatever. 1:32:04.960 --> 1:32:08.880 But John Lord and I, when we got Rest His Soul, we. 1:32:10.540 --> 1:32:14.020 We were invited to lay on the bar while the 1:32:14.120 --> 1:32:16.599 waitresses mixed drinks in our mouths. 1:32:17.120 --> 1:32:18.519 Oh, my God. 1:32:18.600 --> 1:32:21.100 I've got to tell you, it's a fun time. 1:32:21.689 --> 1:32:21.870 Oh. 1:32:22.610 --> 1:32:24.389 I've never done that in Limetown. 1:32:24.590 --> 1:32:27.410 And you've never done it since because you're much more 1:32:27.650 --> 1:32:30.349 subtle and much more laid back now as you progress 1:32:30.390 --> 1:32:31.850 in life, right? 1:32:31.870 --> 1:32:32.990 I don't think laid back. 1:32:33.010 --> 1:32:33.809 Yeah, perhaps. 1:32:33.910 --> 1:32:34.229 Yeah. 1:32:36.220 --> 1:32:39.769 David Coverdale, all those years ago. Here I go again, 1:32:39.770 --> 1:32:44.050 39 years ago, number one in this here land. Stone Statements, 1:32:44.090 --> 1:32:48.429 Saturday afternoon extravaganza. Welcome back. Make Stone Statements a statement 1:32:48.490 --> 1:32:52.189 you will make with your countertop. There's a lot of 1:32:52.229 --> 1:32:55.280 news out there that's not good about the economy. Listen, 1:32:56.860 --> 1:33:00.080 it's an actual application when we go to fill up 1:33:00.160 --> 1:33:02.540 our car with gasoline or go to the grocery store. 1:33:02.700 --> 1:33:05.860 We keep hearing that it's going to get better. All 1:33:05.939 --> 1:33:08.480 it's going to take is an end to the conflict 1:33:08.520 --> 1:33:12.750 in Iran. Nevertheless, it is going to get better, if 1:33:12.770 --> 1:33:15.009 you listen to my next guest, because he not only 1:33:15.030 --> 1:33:19.090 is an investor and president and CEO of a wealth 1:33:19.210 --> 1:33:23.600 management company, he also... is someone that sees great days 1:33:23.660 --> 1:33:27.150 ahead for this country. And he says, stop listening to 1:33:27.270 --> 1:33:29.990 all of this stuff you might hear on CNBC and 1:33:30.110 --> 1:33:34.309 Fox Business. He is the author of nine books, including 1:33:34.390 --> 1:33:39.720 Not Your Father's Retirement. And apparently Ken Mahoney has retired 1:33:39.820 --> 1:33:43.090 somewhat to the great free state of Florida. but he 1:33:43.130 --> 1:33:47.490 has been a financial advisor for 35 years. So that 1:33:47.530 --> 1:33:50.580 means in the game of business and wealth management, he 1:33:50.700 --> 1:33:54.080 is a lifer. So here he is now, the aforementioned 1:33:54.160 --> 1:33:56.850 Ken Mahoney. How are you on this glorious Saturday? 1:33:57.720 --> 1:33:59.620 Great and i like to be called a lifer that 1:33:59.640 --> 1:34:00.800 means i have a lot of life in front of 1:34:00.820 --> 1:34:03.220 me too so thank you for that appreciate that ken. 1:34:03.140 --> 1:34:04.639 Absolutely by the way. 1:34:04.580 --> 1:34:07.640 I always say believe more about what you see in 1:34:07.680 --> 1:34:10.170 the front of the windshield as opposed to the back 1:34:10.250 --> 1:34:12.150 window you know what i mean there's it's much more 1:34:12.210 --> 1:34:13.349 exciting what's coming. 1:34:13.130 --> 1:34:16.570 Up exactly the past the past and we got the 1:34:16.590 --> 1:34:18.890 present moment and here we are today with with all 1:34:18.910 --> 1:34:19.150 of us. 1:34:19.390 --> 1:34:21.940 Absolutely now look we hear all these things even if 1:34:21.979 --> 1:34:26.360 you're just a casual viewer of Fox Business or CNBC, 1:34:26.400 --> 1:34:30.060 you see the little, I guess they call them snipes 1:34:30.120 --> 1:34:32.340 in the bottom of the screen, what the market is doing, 1:34:32.360 --> 1:34:34.099 what the Dow is doing, the S & P, what 1:34:34.160 --> 1:34:36.280 a price of a barrel of oil is doing. And 1:34:36.310 --> 1:34:38.590 I think if you get wrapped up in any of that, 1:34:38.950 --> 1:34:42.650 if you're a layman, you probably drive yourself crazy. So 1:34:42.870 --> 1:34:46.210 right now, just the way that things are financially right now, 1:34:46.270 --> 1:34:49.300 before we get into the nitty gritty details, what should 1:34:49.320 --> 1:34:52.570 the average American be looking at What he hears is 1:34:52.650 --> 1:34:56.510 down numbers, S & P numbers, oil prices, and the 1:34:56.650 --> 1:34:59.210 percentage of a mortgage that has to be paid right 1:34:59.270 --> 1:35:01.429 now on a house. What should he be looking at? 1:35:02.820 --> 1:35:05.500 Yes, he or she should try to look at this 1:35:05.520 --> 1:35:08.060 longer term, that we do have cycles. 1:35:08.180 --> 1:35:12.010 This is not a great cycle, not a good feedback loop, understandably. 1:35:12.570 --> 1:35:15.010 But again, if you're in your 40s and you have 1:35:15.010 --> 1:35:17.530 20 years to retire, this too shall pass. We'll have 1:35:17.570 --> 1:35:20.430 some other problems down the road. But most investors get 1:35:20.470 --> 1:35:23.980 paid like the Warren Buffetts of the world by owning 1:35:24.180 --> 1:35:25.559 over long periods of time. 1:35:25.570 --> 1:35:27.780 It's not a trader's market. There's not a time to 1:35:27.800 --> 1:35:28.400 be daring. 1:35:28.479 --> 1:35:32.179 But if you have 401k, 403b, and you're doing payroll deduction, 1:35:32.220 --> 1:35:35.540 my friend, continue to do that. And don't have the 1:35:35.640 --> 1:35:38.640 outside influence of things that you need to do for 1:35:38.660 --> 1:35:39.320 your own goals. 1:35:40.350 --> 1:35:42.910 Oil fluctuates quite a bit. I mean, we have seen 1:35:42.970 --> 1:35:47.309 it in the last 90 days be as low as 1:35:47.310 --> 1:35:51.150 $ 889 a barrel, as high as $ 105, $ 106. This is 1:35:51.310 --> 1:35:54.490 something that's always intrigued me. When the price of a 1:35:54.560 --> 1:35:57.940 barrel of oil goes down, the corresponding number at the 1:35:58.020 --> 1:36:00.880 gas station does not go down. But sure as hell, 1:36:01.260 --> 1:36:03.620 when that price of a barrel of oil goes up, 1:36:03.720 --> 1:36:06.090 the next day the price of a gallon goes up. 1:36:06.360 --> 1:36:07.900 Why does that dynamic happen? 1:36:08.920 --> 1:36:11.940 Yeah, I always visualize this guy in a ladder going up, 1:36:12.120 --> 1:36:14.140 you know, when prices go up and changing an inch 1:36:14.200 --> 1:36:16.160 a day. Of course, now they do electronic. They don't 1:36:16.240 --> 1:36:17.510 use their hands to move around, but that's what it 1:36:17.530 --> 1:36:20.710 feels like that. You know, we're told it's refineries. There's 1:36:20.750 --> 1:36:23.070 a lag time. So when crude oil goes down, you 1:36:23.090 --> 1:36:23.889 don't feel it at the pump. 1:36:24.530 --> 1:36:26.490 It's nonsense. Honestly, I do think some. 1:36:26.450 --> 1:36:28.880 Oil companies are taking advantage of these spreads and so forth. 1:36:28.900 --> 1:36:31.180 But to your point, everybody feels the same way. You 1:36:31.220 --> 1:36:33.320 read that crude is lower. You go to a gas pump. 1:36:33.820 --> 1:36:34.759 It's the same price. 1:36:34.939 --> 1:36:35.120 Yeah. 1:36:35.979 --> 1:36:37.960 So definitely all of us kind of feel what you're. 1:36:37.860 --> 1:36:40.540 Feeling, Ken, when it comes to the gas pump, not 1:36:40.560 --> 1:36:42.760 always correlated to what's happening in crude oil. 1:36:43.180 --> 1:36:43.460 Yeah. 1:36:43.580 --> 1:36:45.439 You know, I've always wondered about this. I've asked a 1:36:45.479 --> 1:36:47.059 lot of my guests this, and I know you're not 1:36:47.100 --> 1:36:50.540 an oil industry expert, but, you know, we know we're 1:36:50.600 --> 1:36:53.720 floating on oil in this country. And we have in 1:36:53.820 --> 1:36:56.420 the White House and in the administration people that are 1:36:56.520 --> 1:36:59.750 very much enthusiastic when it comes to getting oil out 1:36:59.770 --> 1:37:03.470 of the ground. I don't understand why, of all the 1:37:03.790 --> 1:37:08.250 major commodities, why oil is priced globally. Why can't we 1:37:08.290 --> 1:37:09.910 just get it out of the ground here, get it 1:37:09.950 --> 1:37:12.580 refined here, and sell it here at a price set 1:37:12.620 --> 1:37:14.720 by Americans? I don't understand why that happens. 1:37:14.880 --> 1:37:15.160 Do you? 1:37:16.720 --> 1:37:17.220 No, I don't. 1:37:17.380 --> 1:37:20.879 But I understand it is a world commodity. And look, 1:37:21.060 --> 1:37:24.900 you're reading $ 100 a barrel. Some of that speculation, it's 1:37:24.939 --> 1:37:28.600 not just the supply and demand overlapping that. It's speculators, 1:37:28.640 --> 1:37:30.980 you know, jumping in there, pushing up the prices, trying 1:37:31.000 --> 1:37:33.580 to trade and so forth. I will say, though, you know, 1:37:33.600 --> 1:37:35.229 with June, when we looked like we had a deal and, 1:37:35.780 --> 1:37:40.000 you know, started a ceasefire, very quickly, though, we saw $ 75, 1:37:39.800 --> 1:37:43.630 $ 80 a barrel. So if something can happen quickly, I 1:37:44.170 --> 1:37:46.090 think we relief to all of us, because as we know, 1:37:46.250 --> 1:37:48.770 oil is in every part of our economy, and it's 1:37:48.850 --> 1:37:51.890 add up in trucking and transportation and rest. You name 1:37:51.910 --> 1:37:56.070 the industry, yes, oil is somewhere in the front or 1:37:56.130 --> 1:37:58.320 in the back. with everything that's happening. 1:37:58.900 --> 1:38:02.420 Is oil a good investment? For the average guy that's 1:38:02.439 --> 1:38:05.590 trying to build a portfolio, is oil a good investment? 1:38:07.110 --> 1:38:07.530 It is not. 1:38:07.950 --> 1:38:12.689 Again, oil futures or, again, I think about oil futures, gold. 1:38:12.830 --> 1:38:15.010 I kind of like long-term, like the S & P 500, 1:38:14.990 --> 1:38:18.229 where you have Microsoft and Apple and Google and all 1:38:18.290 --> 1:38:21.530 those great tailwinds we have because of all the spending 1:38:21.680 --> 1:38:24.099 in AI and data centers and so forth. So, no, 1:38:24.120 --> 1:38:26.880 I don't like oil investments. It's very volatile. If someone 1:38:26.900 --> 1:38:29.030 wants to trade it, I get it. But I wouldn't 1:38:29.050 --> 1:38:31.189 be buying oil here because over the weekend, we can 1:38:31.229 --> 1:38:33.679 have a move where there is a shake of hands 1:38:33.740 --> 1:38:36.920 and a ceasefire and very quickly. So no, the answer 1:38:36.960 --> 1:38:40.600 is no for gold, oil, commodities. In general, long-term like 1:38:40.640 --> 1:38:45.100 real estate, long-term like stocks tend to outperform the inflation rate. 1:38:45.240 --> 1:38:51.070 All right, let's talk about percentage rates for mortgage. Okay, 1:38:51.430 --> 1:38:55.220 so the Fed raises the prime quarter of a percent. 1:38:56.360 --> 1:38:59.140 And what does that mean, though, to the guy that's 1:38:59.180 --> 1:39:01.939 trying to get a mortgage or buy a new house? 1:39:02.240 --> 1:39:05.360 There isn't a direct effect, but there's an indirect effect. So, 1:39:05.380 --> 1:39:09.070 I mean, how much does the Fed raising the interest 1:39:09.110 --> 1:39:11.670 rate a quarter or even, God forbid, a half a 1:39:11.729 --> 1:39:14.330 point have on the mortgage rate system? 1:39:16.070 --> 1:39:16.870 It really doesn't. 1:39:16.930 --> 1:39:19.990 I mean, the Fed fund rates, which are now 3.75% 1:39:19.990 --> 1:39:23.210 to 4% after Kevin Walsh sent up a quarter point 1:39:23.270 --> 1:39:26.229 rate hike, it's really based on a 10-year treasury. We're 1:39:26.340 --> 1:39:29.780 in a 10-year trading. It's calculated from there where the 1:39:29.820 --> 1:39:34.059 mortgage rates are anywhere from 7.5% to 7.75%. And again, 1:39:34.080 --> 1:39:36.400 it's always correlated. Sometimes the Fed fund rates go up higher. 1:39:36.439 --> 1:39:39.900 We could see the 10-year go lower because expectation inflation 1:39:39.920 --> 1:39:43.210 starts going down. But that's really important because the cost 1:39:43.290 --> 1:39:45.099 of money is going up. So if you have an 1:39:45.180 --> 1:39:47.840 equity line at home, your payments are more. If you're 1:39:47.960 --> 1:39:50.139 running a business and you have an equity line, your 1:39:50.160 --> 1:39:52.900 payments are more. But as far as the Fed fund rates, 1:39:53.160 --> 1:39:55.680 if they raise rates at the end of October here, 1:39:55.700 --> 1:39:58.620 another quarter point, it's not automatic that quarter points can 1:39:58.640 --> 1:40:01.120 be felt in the mortgage market because that's off the 1:40:01.140 --> 1:40:01.980 10-year treasury. 1:40:02.400 --> 1:40:06.470 The mortgage market is off a 10-year treasury note, right? 1:40:06.930 --> 1:40:07.590 Is that what you're saying? 1:40:07.810 --> 1:40:08.189 That's right. 1:40:08.350 --> 1:40:08.570 Okay. 1:40:08.729 --> 1:40:10.630 All right. which right now is five and a quarter. 1:40:10.750 --> 1:40:13.150 You tack on, you get to suffer on seven and 1:40:13.170 --> 1:40:13.770 a half percent. 1:40:14.270 --> 1:40:16.650 You know, as you know, the seven and a half percent, 1:40:17.550 --> 1:40:18.890 all of us are like, wow, you know, it was 1:40:18.930 --> 1:40:21.950 just three percent during the COVID days. But then ask 1:40:21.970 --> 1:40:24.770 some other baby boomers and so forth. In the early 80s, 1:40:25.160 --> 1:40:28.900 you saw 15% and 17% mortgage rates. So this is 1:40:28.960 --> 1:40:32.040 about average over a 20, 30-year period, though it feels 1:40:32.120 --> 1:40:35.150 higher because we're coming off a much lower artificial number 1:40:35.550 --> 1:40:36.589 during that COVID crisis. 1:40:36.689 --> 1:40:38.730 Yeah, my first house was an FHA loan. I think 1:40:38.770 --> 1:40:39.250 I paid 13.8%, 13.9%. 1:40:39.250 --> 1:40:39.690 Right, right. 1:40:43.070 --> 1:40:43.979 But it's unheard of. 1:40:44.060 --> 1:40:47.540 And then you have to refinance six different times, right? Exactly. 1:40:47.560 --> 1:40:49.860 They have to refinance 12 to 10 to. 1:40:49.760 --> 1:40:51.400 9 to 8. I think I had more balloons in 1:40:51.420 --> 1:40:55.220 a circus than when it came to financing. But you 1:40:55.300 --> 1:40:57.820 ask anybody, you ask the under 40 crowd, they're going 1:40:57.840 --> 1:41:02.610 to say, why is it so high? Okay, so why 1:41:02.790 --> 1:41:05.010 is it so high? And you're saying it's because of 1:41:05.070 --> 1:41:08.090 these 10-year Treasury notes. So when somebody says that the 1:41:08.170 --> 1:41:12.780 Treasury notes are are yielding this unbelievable percentage. That's bad 1:41:12.860 --> 1:41:15.059 news for people looking for a mortgage then, right? 1:41:16.320 --> 1:41:16.559 Right. 1:41:16.620 --> 1:41:18.840 And the thing is, it's not all bad news. If 1:41:18.880 --> 1:41:22.120 you're an investor, a saver, and sitting. 1:41:21.960 --> 1:41:24.540 In 2% of the bank, now you're getting 5% or 5.5% 1:41:24.540 --> 1:41:25.580 of the bank. 1:41:25.820 --> 1:41:28.059 If you're getting a mortgage, it's hard. 1:41:28.100 --> 1:41:30.740 So the interest rates actually hits both ways. 1:41:30.780 --> 1:41:31.280 So it depends. 1:41:31.320 --> 1:41:33.519 If you're a saver, it's a benefit. If you're not 1:41:33.560 --> 1:41:35.939 a saver, you're a borrower, obviously the cost. 1:41:35.820 --> 1:41:36.920 Of money is higher at that point. 1:41:37.000 --> 1:41:37.240 Sure. 1:41:37.420 --> 1:41:37.660 Okay. 1:41:38.280 --> 1:41:41.180 Now, let's talk about the market. The market is volatile. 1:41:41.220 --> 1:41:43.200 It's all over the place. And, you know, you see 1:41:43.260 --> 1:41:45.600 red numbers one day and you say, my God, what happened? 1:41:45.660 --> 1:41:47.809 And the next day, the green numbers come up and 1:41:47.850 --> 1:41:49.970 it's almost made up what it lost the day before. 1:41:50.590 --> 1:41:55.349 Every single investor, anybody that runs an investment firm will 1:41:55.370 --> 1:41:57.189 tell me the same thing. And you're going to say 1:41:57.210 --> 1:41:59.530 the same thing, I'm sure. You don't look at it 1:41:59.590 --> 1:42:01.510 on a daily basis. You don't put it right up 1:42:01.570 --> 1:42:03.910 against your nose. You go long term like that. But 1:42:03.950 --> 1:42:06.850 you do have some people, as you realize. that are 1:42:06.890 --> 1:42:10.410 moving into retirement right now, and they're thinking to themselves, 1:42:10.490 --> 1:42:12.950 if this keeps up, I'm not going to know how 1:42:12.990 --> 1:42:17.110 much I have to spend in retirement. So the volatility 1:42:17.130 --> 1:42:19.210 of this market, I don't sense, is going to go 1:42:19.270 --> 1:42:22.330 away anytime soon. But what would you do if someone 1:42:22.370 --> 1:42:26.410 came to you? Ken Mahoney at Mahoney Investment Management said, Ken, 1:42:26.830 --> 1:42:28.910 I'm sweating. Hold my hand a little bit. What would 1:42:28.950 --> 1:42:29.330 you tell them? 1:42:31.189 --> 1:42:32.860 First of all, I want to say, when you kind 1:42:32.900 --> 1:42:36.460 of look at houses and all this, if you look 1:42:36.540 --> 1:42:40.120 at your portfolio every day, most people do, look at 1:42:40.180 --> 1:42:41.980 the house value. If you really look, you go to 1:42:42.050 --> 1:42:44.990 Zillow every day and punch in your address and see 1:42:45.010 --> 1:42:45.830 whether it's going up or down. 1:42:46.330 --> 1:42:46.830 It doesn't help. 1:42:47.110 --> 1:42:49.150 So it's longer term. But I will say this, though, 1:42:49.550 --> 1:42:52.370 despite all the noise and all the clickbait and all 1:42:52.450 --> 1:42:55.380 the things going on, we're only 2% away from an 1:42:55.460 --> 1:43:00.769 all-time high in the NASDAQ. actually 1%, and the S & 1:43:00.370 --> 1:43:01.970 P 500 is only 2%. 1:43:01.970 --> 1:43:03.440 So conditions are pretty good. 1:43:03.479 --> 1:43:08.960 The headlines are awful, higher oil, geopolitical concerns, midterm elections. 1:43:09.080 --> 1:43:11.460 I could just keep going on, higher interest rates. But 1:43:11.520 --> 1:43:13.920 somehow the market's snooped down. Remember, the market looks forward 1:43:13.979 --> 1:43:16.700 six months from now that this Iran crisis will be over, 1:43:16.840 --> 1:43:19.380 rates will be lower, oil will be lower, and stocks 1:43:19.400 --> 1:43:21.280 will be higher. That's what the market's telling us. So 1:43:21.860 --> 1:43:23.900 I would say, hey, you want to panic? 2020 is 1:43:23.979 --> 1:43:25.420 a better time to panic. 1:43:25.500 --> 1:43:28.559 COVID, what the heck? That's a time to panic. 1:43:28.560 --> 1:43:33.099 1998, 2000, you got it. So I wouldn't be panicking, 1:43:33.220 --> 1:43:36.470 especially the market. A leading economic indicator is only 1% 1:43:36.470 --> 1:43:38.130 or 2% away from its all-time high. 1:43:38.430 --> 1:43:41.910 Okay. And I guess finally on the market, the Dow 1:43:41.970 --> 1:43:45.490 is basically what? 10 stocks? So the S & P 1:43:45.530 --> 1:43:47.330 is better to look at, right? I mean, it's a 1:43:47.370 --> 1:43:48.610 finite number of stocks, right? 1:43:50.010 --> 1:43:52.530 Yeah, and knowing that many of your listeners that have 1:43:52.550 --> 1:43:55.370 a 401k plan at work or 403b, that is the 1:43:55.410 --> 1:43:58.830 most popular is the S & P 500. It's 500 companies. 1:43:59.229 --> 1:44:02.130 The Dow Jones is 30 companies. So the S & 1:44:01.390 --> 1:44:03.809 P 500 at the knocking door of an all-time high. 1:44:04.390 --> 1:44:06.650 The Nasdaq just on Tuesday hit an all-time high and 1:44:06.670 --> 1:44:08.450 then came back a little bit. But while there's a 1:44:08.479 --> 1:44:10.460 lot of volatility, there's still strength. Year-to-date, the S & 1:44:10.420 --> 1:44:14.220 P 500 is up 12%. On top of a year 1:44:14.780 --> 1:44:18.080 in 2023, it was higher. 2024, it was higher. 2025, 1:44:18.080 --> 1:44:18.979 it's higher. 1:44:19.100 --> 1:44:21.089 I'm using my fingers, by the way. And now, a 1:44:21.150 --> 1:44:22.990 fourth year in a row, a double-digit gain. 1:44:23.010 --> 1:44:24.590 Yeah. 1:44:25.030 --> 1:44:27.630 So, you sound like you're bullish on where this country 1:44:27.729 --> 1:44:28.710 is from an economic standpoint. 1:44:28.729 --> 1:44:29.769 You have to be. You know. 1:44:30.410 --> 1:44:32.750 When you look at the headlines, and I look at 1:44:32.770 --> 1:44:34.670 the headlines, I write for some of the headlines, TV 1:44:34.689 --> 1:44:37.930 for some of the headlines, I get it. But the 1:44:37.970 --> 1:44:40.510 final arbitrator is price. And if you're looking at a 1:44:40.570 --> 1:44:44.900 chart that's kind of going up, you know, some squiggly EKG. 1:44:44.229 --> 1:44:46.060 Day by day, I get it. But if you look 1:44:46.080 --> 1:44:47.600 at a chart, the trend has been higher. 1:44:47.640 --> 1:44:50.939 It's been higher since off of 2022's lows, you know, 1:44:50.960 --> 1:44:51.900 getting rid of COVID. 1:44:52.000 --> 1:44:57.810 So it's such a dichotomy, my friend. You have this. negativity, negativity, negativity. 1:44:57.830 --> 1:45:00.030 But to me, the final arbitrator is price. 1:45:00.520 --> 1:45:03.220 That has led me and my clients well over the years. 1:45:03.760 --> 1:45:05.120 You look at that, you don't have to be a 1:45:05.180 --> 1:45:08.179 chartist to say, yeah, we're still kind of an upward trend, 1:45:08.340 --> 1:45:10.040 even we have all this noise that's going on. 1:45:10.310 --> 1:45:12.769 I feel better about myself having talked to you. I'm 1:45:12.810 --> 1:45:13.650 just telling you that. 1:45:13.689 --> 1:45:14.269 There you go. 1:45:14.390 --> 1:45:17.890 I got a little cheerleader thing going on in my pom-pom. 1:45:18.290 --> 1:45:20.190 There's a lot of reason for it, though. 1:45:20.250 --> 1:45:21.849 You got a lot of people out here in God's 1:45:21.930 --> 1:45:23.810 country up on the balls of their feet right now. 1:45:23.910 --> 1:45:28.269 Ken Mahoney, CEO and President of Mahoney Assets Management, and 1:45:28.610 --> 1:45:30.189 by the way, the author of the book, Not Your 1:45:30.229 --> 1:45:33.790 Father's Retirement. You can learn more about all of that 1:45:33.850 --> 1:45:37.910 at MahoneyGPS.com. Great talking to you. Hopefully we can do 1:45:37.950 --> 1:45:39.180 this again down the road. 1:45:39.439 --> 1:45:39.900 Yeah, thanks. 1:45:40.280 --> 1:45:41.380 Oh, yeah, for sure.
