WEBVTT - Dan Carroll -- 10/19/26 0:00:01.510 --> 0:00:10.980 All right, back on the big one, 700-WLW-907. On this 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.000 Monday night, I'm not usually here on a Monday night. 0:00:14.140 --> 0:00:19.250 It's time for the nightcap. But Gary Jeff Walker had 0:00:19.270 --> 0:00:25.829 to step up today and fill in for an under-the-weather 0:00:25.870 --> 0:00:30.270 Bill Cunningham. And so the call went out to the bullpen, 0:00:30.350 --> 0:00:32.090 and they said, hey, can you do the show tonight, 0:00:32.090 --> 0:00:33.810 9 to midnight? And I said, well, I will be there. 0:00:33.830 --> 0:00:39.490 It's a team effort. Team effort. Gary Jeff stepping up 0:00:39.510 --> 0:00:41.409 for Cunningham. I get to sit in for Gary Jeff 0:00:41.450 --> 0:00:45.140 here on the nightcap. And a lot of stuff coming 0:00:45.180 --> 0:00:48.920 your way tonight. We got lectured again by Barack Obama 0:00:48.979 --> 0:00:50.979 over the weekend. We'll talk about that a little bit. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.800 Some great guests coming up. My buddy Gary Click, who's 0:00:53.860 --> 0:00:56.660 a state representative, he is also the pastor of a church. 0:00:57.470 --> 0:00:58.910 And one of the things I wanted to ask him 0:00:58.950 --> 0:01:03.930 about was I heard this clown in, not in Tennessee, 0:01:03.950 --> 0:01:08.850 but Texas, once again, Tallarico. And I saw him at 0:01:09.150 --> 0:01:12.570 some town hall meeting or some such thing. And again, 0:01:12.670 --> 0:01:15.730 he went with this notion of the Bible is silent 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.259 on the issue of abortion. So I'll talk to my buddy, 0:01:19.300 --> 0:01:22.020 Gary Click, about that. Zeke Arkham will be here. And 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:27.140 then my buddy, Steve Oldfield. who usually talks about movie reviews, 0:01:27.260 --> 0:01:30.880 but over the weekend, he was at the Trump rally 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.600 at Northern Kentucky University. And Gary Jeff Walker lives in 0:01:35.780 --> 0:01:39.090 Northern Kentucky. And I don't know if he made the 0:01:39.650 --> 0:01:42.030 trip over to Highland Heights to see the Trumpster or not. 0:01:43.230 --> 0:01:48.150 But Gary Jeff Walker, Trump was in your backyard. Did 0:01:48.190 --> 0:01:50.690 you take the chance to go see him? 0:01:52.890 --> 0:01:56.730 It was so wonderful to have President 45 and 47 0:01:56.730 --> 0:01:59.360 here in our midst over the weekend. 0:01:59.860 --> 0:02:01.820 The fact of the matter is I have to work. 0:02:05.060 --> 0:02:08.420 I imagine if all the Republicans who didn't have to 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.200 work on Saturday had been there, there wouldn't have been 0:02:11.260 --> 0:02:15.750 room probably in the entire Commonwealth for the people that 0:02:15.830 --> 0:02:18.889 showed up for the real champion of the working man, 0:02:18.990 --> 0:02:23.769 which is President Donald J. Trump. I thank you for 0:02:23.990 --> 0:02:26.989 sitting in tonight. I was asked by a friend of 0:02:27.030 --> 0:02:30.310 mine who listens, who heard me today from Willie, and said, 0:02:30.910 --> 0:02:33.010 I'll look for you on the radio tonight. 0:02:33.070 --> 0:02:34.210 I said, no, you won't. 0:02:35.150 --> 0:02:36.750 I'm a slacker. 0:02:37.270 --> 0:02:38.710 I don't do double duty. 0:02:39.570 --> 0:02:42.830 And I would prefer my friend Dan Carroll, if any, 0:02:43.270 --> 0:02:47.600 would fill in. I mean, I can't imagine Wayne Boxmiller, 0:02:47.780 --> 0:02:51.000 they'll love him to death for filling in tonight or... 0:02:51.750 --> 0:02:55.290 austin elmore or even sterling but i am so glad 0:02:55.350 --> 0:02:59.790 it's you dan carroll that are protecting the namesake of 0:02:59.830 --> 0:03:03.190 the nightcap on this monday evening of filling in for 0:03:03.230 --> 0:03:06.889 me admirably by the way because apparently i'm just not 0:03:06.970 --> 0:03:08.730 up to doing two radio. 0:03:08.350 --> 0:03:11.160 Shows well i appreciate those kind words and all those 0:03:11.220 --> 0:03:13.400 folks you mentioned they've got they've got a lot on 0:03:13.419 --> 0:03:16.019 their plate as you know though we talked about trump 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.520 being in northern kentucky on on saturday tonight he's in 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:25.010 kansas city all right And then something happened before Trump 0:03:25.030 --> 0:03:26.950 took the stage tonight. I want to play this. I 0:03:26.970 --> 0:03:29.850 want to get your reaction to it. And with that, Drew, 0:03:30.310 --> 0:03:31.149 hit that soundbite. 0:03:33.210 --> 0:03:34.690 Kansas! 0:03:37.190 --> 0:03:39.430 I love real Kansas! 0:03:42.620 --> 0:03:43.460 Look at you! 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.020 Take a good look around you! 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:54.400 Real America! I love real America. You know how much 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.460 I love real America? 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.920 I was in a tree stand in the swamps of 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.540 Michigan this morning. I got a call from President Trump 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.940 and he said, would you come to Kansas and raise 0:04:02.990 --> 0:04:03.720 some hell with me? 0:04:03.940 --> 0:04:05.830 So I got out of my tree stand. 0:04:10.810 --> 0:04:13.590 I don't get out of my tree stand for nothing 0:04:14.530 --> 0:04:24.349 except freedom. I rock and roll in Kansas. You people 0:04:24.390 --> 0:04:26.510 are real music lovers. I love you people. 0:04:27.130 --> 0:04:28.930 So there you go, Gary, Jeff. I don't think I 0:04:28.970 --> 0:04:32.729 have to tell you who that is. Sewing up in 0:04:32.770 --> 0:04:33.909 Kansas for Trump tonight. 0:04:34.790 --> 0:04:38.029 Well, I would swear it was you if you weren't 0:04:38.089 --> 0:04:40.070 on the radio right now. I know you didn't have 0:04:40.110 --> 0:04:42.529 time to get back and forth. 0:04:43.850 --> 0:04:44.350 Between. 0:04:44.930 --> 0:04:48.890 No, it's a wonderful thing that there are still famous 0:04:48.980 --> 0:04:53.560 people who will bear the all and say the, you 0:04:53.570 --> 0:04:57.500 know what, I don't care what the cancel culture tells us. 0:04:58.260 --> 0:05:01.960 I'm going to support the president. And more importantly, I'm 0:05:02.020 --> 0:05:07.589 going to support the ideal of Americanism and free markets 0:05:08.050 --> 0:05:08.790 and commerce. 0:05:09.690 --> 0:05:11.390 Today, I had a guy. 0:05:11.230 --> 0:05:16.089 On the show who has a book called The Civilization 0:05:16.110 --> 0:05:19.950 of Commerce. And he talks about how Real free markets 0:05:20.170 --> 0:05:25.830 and enterprise and capitalism, real free capitalism, actually means not 0:05:25.890 --> 0:05:29.850 only prosperity for everyone involved in it, but it betters 0:05:29.890 --> 0:05:30.710 your life in. 0:05:30.850 --> 0:05:32.100 Every way possible. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.300 I would ask the people who are writing in France 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.140 or the people who would like to write the same 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.020 way here in America, and there are many among us, Dan, unfortunately, 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.940 who hate this country and want to tear it down 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.040 to its core. actual foundations, and I would encourage them, 0:05:52.180 --> 0:05:55.140 if you want to find affordable housing, go to Cuba. 0:05:55.250 --> 0:05:59.289 See what affordable housing is like in a communist country. 0:05:59.990 --> 0:06:03.570 Go and see what affordable housing was like in Venezuela 0:06:03.670 --> 0:06:07.290 under Maduro, and still is probably to a great extent now. 0:06:07.830 --> 0:06:11.210 Go and see what affordable housing is in Haiti. Go 0:06:11.270 --> 0:06:16.159 and see what affordable housing is like in these European 0:06:16.260 --> 0:06:20.150 countries where they have let Millions more foreigners than we 0:06:20.190 --> 0:06:25.680 were stupid enough to let into our country. Affordable housing 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.260 and shared social benefits do not work when you're sharing 0:06:30.300 --> 0:06:34.120 them with all the world. And if the socialists who 0:06:34.140 --> 0:06:37.080 have taken over the Democrat Party want to talk about 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:42.080 affordable housing, let's look at some of the representations of 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:48.740 affordable housing through history and socialism. Look at this country, 0:06:49.450 --> 0:06:55.320 like the Gabrini Square housing project in Chicago that allowed 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.260 poor and many, many black people, not just black people, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.810 but poor people to inhabit these apartments, these high-rise apartments 0:07:03.890 --> 0:07:07.070 for nearly nothing. and what they got out of it. 0:07:07.270 --> 0:07:11.130 Their lives were miserable. They had houses, they had homes 0:07:11.250 --> 0:07:14.370 that they could afford, but they were miserable because this 0:07:14.410 --> 0:07:22.230 was government one-size-fits-all housing. If you want one-size-fits-all grocery stores, 0:07:22.770 --> 0:07:27.150 move to New York City and see about the availability 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.020 of many, many products that are available to all of 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:35.850 us in a regular corporate grocery store. If you want 0:07:35.870 --> 0:07:39.600 to see what's going on in Paris right now with 0:07:39.630 --> 0:07:44.520 the riots, which is only a replay times 10 of 0:07:44.580 --> 0:07:49.600 what we suffered during the summer of hate in 2020, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.640 if you want that, then continue to vote for socialism. 0:07:54.300 --> 0:07:56.380 There are too many people who don't understand what that 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:01.780 term means, and they don't understand socialism. Because they haven't 0:08:01.820 --> 0:08:06.840 been taught what the history of that disease is as 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.900 far as a system of government. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.070 Well, Gary, Jeff, every week and sometimes multiple times a week, 0:08:15.670 --> 0:08:19.630 I see a lot of my neighbors, a lot of 0:08:19.670 --> 0:08:23.010 my friends on the left. They're out there on the 0:08:23.070 --> 0:08:28.210 street on Beachmont Avenue. They've got their signs that say 0:08:28.530 --> 0:08:31.890 F ice. They've got their signs that say no kings. 0:08:31.930 --> 0:08:35.950 They've got their signs that talk about fascism and all 0:08:35.990 --> 0:08:41.020 this other stuff. And I think to myself, they're not 0:08:41.059 --> 0:08:44.900 going to be happy until we have scenes play out 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.360 like we've seen in France over the last several days. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.630 And it's a lot like what happened. with the BLM 0:08:54.670 --> 0:08:58.820 riots in 2020. But I really think that they're not 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.300 going to be happy until they see buildings destroyed, things 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.500 set on fire, shops being looted, people being beat up 0:09:06.540 --> 0:09:10.079 in the street, clashes with police, all the rest of that. 0:09:10.980 --> 0:09:15.580 And that is really when they have these protests and 0:09:16.179 --> 0:09:18.859 encourage people to vote a certain way, and when I 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.100 say a certain way, encourage people to vote for Democrats 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.980 or for communists or socialists or Muslims, for God's sake. 0:09:28.140 --> 0:09:30.360 This is what they are inviting. This is what they 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.359 are opening the door to in our country. And I 0:09:35.700 --> 0:09:37.719 don't know about you, but I talk about this all 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.970 the time behind this microphone. And I get a lot 0:09:42.020 --> 0:09:47.910 of negative feedback that, you know, I'm an idiot. I 0:09:47.950 --> 0:09:51.069 don't know what I'm talking about. There's nothing to see here. 0:09:51.900 --> 0:09:54.500 You know, it's a very small part of the population. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.530 I'm making a big deal about nothing. Am I making 0:09:57.570 --> 0:09:59.910 a big deal about nothing here when I say that? 0:10:00.230 --> 0:10:02.960 that we need to look at France and what's happening 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.080 in France as a as a cautionary tale? 0:10:05.940 --> 0:10:10.040 No, it's a it's a perfect example. In addition to 0:10:10.100 --> 0:10:14.439 what I was talking about before, where socialism or Marxism 0:10:14.980 --> 0:10:18.230 or communism has taken hold in the past. It always 0:10:18.270 --> 0:10:21.990 happens that way. You don't have to like President Trump. 0:10:22.650 --> 0:10:24.650 And I know for many people, and I've heard from 0:10:24.690 --> 0:10:29.670 a lot of them, that he's very unlikable. I don't agree, 0:10:29.790 --> 0:10:32.910 but I understand why they feel this way. And they 0:10:33.550 --> 0:10:36.630 feel like the president has flaws, like no president we've 0:10:36.700 --> 0:10:42.480 ever had has flaws. I would say to them, don't, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.320 he said, consider me on the ballot this midterm election. And, uh, 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.059 some people are including him. Some people are not, but 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:57.150 I would say the president's policies. Don't get the man. 0:10:56.970 --> 0:10:59.730 Confused with the policies. 0:10:59.270 --> 0:11:04.809 And what the alternative means, because the alternative means that 0:11:04.929 --> 0:11:09.250 you and I, for speaking, our opinions would be targeted. 0:11:10.110 --> 0:11:12.309 They plan on doing that. At least slot can made 0:11:12.350 --> 0:11:16.150 that very clear this morning, the Michigan Senator when she 0:11:16.190 --> 0:11:21.070 talked about young people maybe thinking twice about joining the 0:11:21.110 --> 0:11:24.660 Trump White House or the administration because the ramifications they 0:11:24.700 --> 0:11:29.800 could have legally later on just for being associated with 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:35.040 the president of these United States. It is absolutely absurd 0:11:35.140 --> 0:11:39.730 what's going on. And if the American people cannot separate, 0:11:40.230 --> 0:11:44.240 if they can't stand the man, the policies from the 0:11:44.290 --> 0:11:48.000 man and understanding that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:53.439 that Iran must be vanquished, that we do have the 0:11:54.059 --> 0:11:58.450 resources in our country to be energy sufficient if the 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.370 regulations continue to fall as President Donald Trump has done. 0:12:02.390 --> 0:12:10.730 And nothing takes as long a time as a government 0:12:10.830 --> 0:12:14.650 and a fiscal system policy to turn around. It's like 0:12:14.710 --> 0:12:17.449 an aircraft carrier. My father was dumped off of an 0:12:17.530 --> 0:12:22.300 aircraft carrier in the Caribbean before I was even conceived. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.179 And if not for the sharp work of the sailors 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.410 on board his ship when he fell overboard, would I 0:12:31.470 --> 0:12:34.970 be here even speaking to you tonight? But the fact 0:12:34.990 --> 0:12:38.190 of the matter is, that ship took 20 minutes to 0:12:38.230 --> 0:12:41.160 turn around. The man overboard call was issued as soon 0:12:41.220 --> 0:12:42.940 as my father fell overboard. 0:12:43.980 --> 0:12:44.740 And you know what? 0:12:44.940 --> 0:12:47.520 It still took 20 minutes of him treading water by 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.340 himself in the Caribbean in shark-infested waters. 0:12:51.340 --> 0:12:54.320 And thankfully, thank God, they picked him up. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.280 And I will tell you that it takes a long 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.670 time to turn a big ship around when it's going 0:13:00.730 --> 0:13:03.189 in the wrong direction. And our ship was going in 0:13:03.230 --> 0:13:06.610 the wrong direction. for quite a while before Donald Trump 0:13:06.710 --> 0:13:09.870 took the helm as captain. And I'm telling you this, 0:13:11.429 --> 0:13:14.050 in an election year, in a midterm, when most people 0:13:14.110 --> 0:13:16.500 are headline readers, all they see is the price of 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.640 the gas pumps, and that's understandable, and the price of 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.360 the diesel pumps, and that's understandable because that makes everything 0:13:23.420 --> 0:13:28.000 more expensive for every single American. Voting for a socialist 0:13:28.070 --> 0:13:33.210 and people who would seize control of America of manufacturing 0:13:33.350 --> 0:13:36.750 seized control of the process of commerce, that would be 0:13:36.790 --> 0:13:38.790 the worst thing that could ever happen in this country. 0:13:38.809 --> 0:13:40.330 And we've got plenty of examples. 0:13:40.870 --> 0:13:45.530 Gary, Jeff, let me, before I let you go, let 0:13:45.570 --> 0:13:48.630 me get your reaction to a story that I was 0:13:48.650 --> 0:13:50.510 going to tell this story a little bit later on tonight. 0:13:50.530 --> 0:13:53.300 But since you're here, I want to run this by 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:57.699 you right now. So we go to Minneapolis. When immigration 0:13:57.740 --> 0:14:01.480 enforcement ramped up in Minneapolis earlier this year, A guy 0:14:01.540 --> 0:14:07.270 named Dylan Alverson, who ran a restaurant there, changed the 0:14:07.309 --> 0:14:11.730 name of his restaurant to Modern Times Restaurant. And to 0:14:12.230 --> 0:14:15.089 show how he was one with the community, that he 0:14:15.170 --> 0:14:19.010 was all about the socialist movement, anti-ice, and all the 0:14:19.050 --> 0:14:21.210 rest of it. He thought it would be a good 0:14:21.310 --> 0:14:25.290 idea to take the prices off his menu. He declared 0:14:26.030 --> 0:14:29.700 that he would feed anyone who walked through the door saying, 0:14:30.180 --> 0:14:32.800 whether they could pay or whether they could not pay. 0:14:33.180 --> 0:14:37.310 I mean, this is progressive progressivism at its finest. Although 0:14:37.830 --> 0:14:40.790 anyone who was a federal agent was not welcome in the, 0:14:40.950 --> 0:14:43.650 in the restaurant. So this has been going on for 0:14:43.690 --> 0:14:48.300 the last several months now. And, uh, eventually figured people 0:14:48.380 --> 0:14:51.380 figured out that, well, some people were paying $ 10 for 0:14:51.420 --> 0:14:55.800 a sandwich. Others were paying $ 1 for a sandwich. And 0:14:55.860 --> 0:14:58.930 some people were paying nothing at all for a sandwich. 0:14:59.940 --> 0:15:02.510 And people started figuring out that they could eat a 0:15:02.540 --> 0:15:06.150 sandwich and not pay for it. And now the restaurant 0:15:06.210 --> 0:15:13.650 owner has announced that the restaurant will be closing. Perhaps 0:15:13.670 --> 0:15:15.330 facing bankruptcy. 0:15:15.470 --> 0:15:20.350 Giving away food for free to be socially relevant. 0:15:20.450 --> 0:15:22.470 Bankrupt. Yeah. 0:15:22.490 --> 0:15:24.590 He was going to show. He was going to show 0:15:24.630 --> 0:15:27.570 that he could make it work. He could make it work. 0:15:27.830 --> 0:15:28.210 But now. 0:15:29.310 --> 0:15:33.510 It sounds a lot like the social programs in France, 0:15:33.590 --> 0:15:35.130 which has now come to a head. 0:15:34.970 --> 0:15:37.530 Because they can't afford it anymore. 0:15:37.570 --> 0:15:40.150 And people are not closing restaurants. 0:15:40.510 --> 0:15:47.880 They're burning relics and city halls and cars and disrupting 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:55.410 France's only viable economy tool, tourism. Okay, and the NFL 0:15:55.430 --> 0:16:01.480 is still going to play there. What about end racism, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.240 end hate? Love matters. 0:16:05.380 --> 0:16:06.780 What about that? 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.420 Yeah, I would like to think the NFL is going 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:09.440 to rethink that decision. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.260 Well, they've got about 96 hours. 0:16:17.790 --> 0:16:20.490 Well, the hotels that these clubs stay in, they could 0:16:20.510 --> 0:16:25.270 be targeted. You never know. Because, after all, name me 0:16:25.310 --> 0:16:28.930 the organization that relies more on capitalism than the NFL. 0:16:32.220 --> 0:16:40.410 No, name organizations that are sponsoring the terrorist riots who 0:16:40.630 --> 0:16:43.590 aren't in favor of capitalism. They're in favor of capitalism. 0:16:43.670 --> 0:16:47.470 It's just their form of capitalism. If you spend your 0:16:47.510 --> 0:16:50.510 money another way, you're evil. If you spend your money 0:16:50.580 --> 0:16:56.620 in this altruistic pursuit, you're considered a good capitalist. And 0:16:56.660 --> 0:17:06.450 you're still making money. Off the backs of real working people. 0:17:06.590 --> 0:17:09.409 I love the note this guy, the restaurant owner put out. 0:17:10.109 --> 0:17:12.630 He talked about how painful it was to announce the decision. 0:17:12.650 --> 0:17:16.260 He said, modern times has stood for creativity over cost, 0:17:16.340 --> 0:17:20.720 kindness over profit, and uncompromising values as a business in 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.760 this country. He says the only way for places like 0:17:24.820 --> 0:17:27.500 modern times to exist in the future is to actively 0:17:27.580 --> 0:17:33.359 challenge The reason why it can no longer exist. So 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.440 maybe he's still not getting the full message there. 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.440 So I wonder how long he ran this business before 0:17:39.460 --> 0:17:40.680 he ran it into the ground. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.080 He said the restaurant was there for 16 years. 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.140 He sounds like a functional idiot. 0:17:45.140 --> 0:17:45.460 16 years. 0:17:45.460 --> 0:17:50.330 16 years he operated on some basic principles of earning 0:17:50.369 --> 0:17:54.270 a profit. And then decided that wasn't good enough and 0:17:54.730 --> 0:17:56.369 virtue signaling was more important. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:02.180 That's like grieving a 14 year old to change their sex. 0:18:05.660 --> 0:18:07.680 I just love it when these kinds of examples slap 0:18:07.740 --> 0:18:10.920 you in the face. Uh, welcome to reality, my friend, Gary, Jeff, 0:18:10.940 --> 0:18:11.520 we got to run. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.120 Dan, have a wonderful show. 0:18:13.260 --> 0:18:15.760 I appreciate you checking in my friend. And, uh, I will, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.160 I will try to, uh, uh, uphold the high standards of, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:20.500 of the nightcap in your stead. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.949 Well, I have absolutely no doubts that you will, but, uh, 0:18:26.530 --> 0:18:29.970 Don't think you'll uphold the high standards of the midweek crisis. 0:18:31.470 --> 0:18:38.060 Well, that's another story on Wednesday and Thursday night. Gary Jeff, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.119 thank you very much. And with that, we will get 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.480 to a break. My buddy Gary Click joins us after 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.100 the news here at the bottom of the hour. It's 0:18:45.140 --> 0:18:48.180 Dan Carroll in for Gary Jeff on 700 WLW. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.000 If you're sitting on a 3% or 4% mortgage rate, 0:18:51.100 --> 0:18:52.859 I understand why you don't want to touch it. 0:18:53.190 --> 0:18:55.750 But you can still get cash equity out of your home. 0:18:56.090 --> 0:19:01.220 It's Eddie for Lone Prado. Lone Prado. Back on the 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.660 big one. 700 WLW 936. Dan Carroll in for Gary 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:11.800 Jeff in the nightcap on this Monday night. And I 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:17.380 was doing my usual weekend thing where I'm, you know, 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.629 play a little golf, hang out with the family, look at, uh, the, 0:19:21.670 --> 0:19:25.229 some of the Sunday shows look at things. So I'm 0:19:25.250 --> 0:19:27.590 always thinking, you know, always getting ready for the show, 0:19:27.630 --> 0:19:29.430 thinking about things I can talk about on the show. 0:19:29.450 --> 0:19:32.629 And I came across a, uh, a video of, uh, 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:37.060 this Tallarico character, James Tallarico from Texas, and he's running 0:19:37.100 --> 0:19:39.659 for Senate Senate there. And a lot of people are 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.940 thinking he he's really, he's got a chance to win. 0:19:42.780 --> 0:19:45.419 And he was at some forum over the weekend. And, 0:19:46.190 --> 0:19:49.220 he had a little discussion with a woman who claimed 0:19:49.260 --> 0:19:55.680 to be a professor at a Catholic university. And she 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.020 was asking him about the issue of abortion. And he 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.670 said something that he has said before. And I guess 0:20:02.710 --> 0:20:06.149 he rolls this line out every time someone asks him 0:20:06.190 --> 0:20:08.810 about abortion or he has a discussion about it. And 0:20:08.869 --> 0:20:13.230 he likes to say, that the Bible is largely silent 0:20:14.090 --> 0:20:18.330 on the issue of abortion. And I'm thinking about that. 0:20:18.630 --> 0:20:21.630 And so I said, well, I got to get some 0:20:21.670 --> 0:20:24.609 perspective on this. So I called my buddy, Gary Click, 0:20:24.650 --> 0:20:27.830 who is a state representative up in Northern Ohio. And 0:20:28.430 --> 0:20:30.619 not only is he a state representative, he's also a 0:20:30.670 --> 0:20:35.919 pastor at the Fremont Baptist Temple. And Gary Click, it's 0:20:35.940 --> 0:20:37.440 great to have you on tonight on 700 WLW. How 0:20:37.460 --> 0:20:38.720 are you doing? 0:20:39.820 --> 0:20:42.020 Dan, it's always a joy to be on with you 0:20:42.100 --> 0:20:42.659 on the big one. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.619 Are you, are you taking it easy when you, when 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.149 you're driving around out there? I mean, you had a 0:20:47.170 --> 0:20:50.369 little issue, you know, a little, a little bit of 0:20:50.410 --> 0:20:54.129 a lead, a lead foot, you know, have you, have 0:20:54.150 --> 0:20:56.879 you learned your lesson? Have you, you know, can you 0:20:56.910 --> 0:20:58.980 start to obey the traffic laws? 0:20:59.700 --> 0:21:01.919 I have, I have put those days behind me, my 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:06.639 dear friend. Uh, the, the, I have been reformed. I 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:11.980 have been born again. And, uh, I am much better 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.080 at monitoring that speedometer. 0:21:14.140 --> 0:21:15.639 I was going to say, you know, a man of 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.980 your means can hire a personal driver to take you 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:20.000 around wherever you need. 0:21:19.900 --> 0:21:20.440 To go, right? 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:21.419 You just ride in the back. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.969 Well, you know, when we do the long trips, I 0:21:23.990 --> 0:21:27.010 let my wife do the driving. She likes driving, and 0:21:27.090 --> 0:21:28.250 I do enough of it on my own. 0:21:28.290 --> 0:21:30.510 So I like to be chauffeured. 0:21:30.230 --> 0:21:32.550 Around a little bit. You know, it makes me feel important. 0:21:32.790 --> 0:21:35.530 All right. Well, that's cool. So I loved it when 0:21:35.710 --> 0:21:40.260 I texted you about this earlier today. And of all things, 0:21:40.300 --> 0:21:43.780 you sent me a link to a story in the 0:21:43.820 --> 0:21:49.629 Babylon Bee, which is fantastic, talking about Tallarica and this issue. 0:21:49.950 --> 0:21:53.609 So when he says this, when he says that the 0:21:53.670 --> 0:22:00.470 Bible is silent on the issue of abortion, I'm sure 0:22:00.490 --> 0:22:03.590 you've heard him say this before. When you hear him 0:22:03.790 --> 0:22:07.200 say this, what do you think? What goes through your mind? 0:22:07.220 --> 0:22:07.340 Is he. 0:22:08.220 --> 0:22:09.480 Is he being honest about this? 0:22:10.790 --> 0:22:13.370 Well, Dan, is it any wonder that people who can't 0:22:13.430 --> 0:22:16.169 understand the biology textbook can't understand the Bible? 0:22:17.310 --> 0:22:19.790 Well, that's a good point. That's a fair point. 0:22:19.869 --> 0:22:21.790 I mean, they don't even know what a woman is, 0:22:21.850 --> 0:22:23.850 but they're going to tell us what the Bible says 0:22:23.910 --> 0:22:28.200 about abortion. I don't trust them. Tallarico is not a Christian. 0:22:28.300 --> 0:22:31.630 I'm speaking here as a pastor, not as a state rep. But, 0:22:31.850 --> 0:22:33.669 you know, Jesus said, you know, there's going to be 0:22:33.690 --> 0:22:35.609 a day when people say, Lord, Lord, and he's going 0:22:35.630 --> 0:22:38.010 to say, depart from me, ye workers of iniquity, for 0:22:38.050 --> 0:22:40.850 I never do you. And you can't just rewrite the 0:22:40.910 --> 0:22:43.170 Bible in your own image. That's just not the way 0:22:43.210 --> 0:22:46.510 it works. And does it say anything about abortion? Well, 0:22:46.530 --> 0:22:49.310 let's start with the big one. I think there's God's 0:22:49.350 --> 0:22:52.750 top ten in there is thou shalt not kill. I 0:22:52.790 --> 0:22:56.710 think that's abortion. Abortion does what? It takes a beating heart. 0:22:56.790 --> 0:23:02.060 It kills. You go to Exodus chapter 21, verses 22 0:23:02.060 --> 0:23:06.580 and 23, I believe it is, and there's some prescriptive 0:23:06.619 --> 0:23:08.719 laws there that say, you know, if two men are 0:23:08.740 --> 0:23:12.880 striving together, they're fighting, basically, and somehow a woman gets involved, 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.100 an expecting woman gets involved, and she's injured, and And 0:23:16.140 --> 0:23:21.120 she delivers early. He said, if that baby survives, basically, 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.510 it says, okay, there's still a punishment because you called 0:23:24.530 --> 0:23:27.970 her to give birth prematurely. But if that baby dies, 0:23:28.050 --> 0:23:33.270 then literally it says life for life. So I think 0:23:34.330 --> 0:23:37.390 that has a lot of implications when it comes to abortion. 0:23:38.220 --> 0:23:40.760 And the whole idea is that, you know, again, let's 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:42.480 go back to the first commandment, thou shalt not kill. 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:43.260 What is abortion? 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:47.980 Abortion is killing. You are killing a baby, killing a child. 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.240 You know, there's no time limit on that. Okay, thou 0:23:51.260 --> 0:23:53.580 shalt not kill unless they're this age or that age 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.719 or the other age. And, you know, we believe that 0:23:56.740 --> 0:24:01.399 life begins at conception. You know, in James 1.5, the 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.550 Bible says, the Lord is speaking to Jeremiah, and he says, 0:24:04.570 --> 0:24:07.970 before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee. 0:24:07.990 --> 0:24:11.450 He's not saying, I knew what you were going to be. 0:24:11.470 --> 0:24:13.810 He says, no, I knew you. You can't know somebody 0:24:13.830 --> 0:24:20.080 that does not exist. And so that moment. When that 0:24:20.220 --> 0:24:24.790 sperm and that egg come together and form a new being, 0:24:25.470 --> 0:24:28.930 before they start forming, before those cells start dividing, God 0:24:28.970 --> 0:24:33.350 knows you. And that means you are a person. Let's 0:24:33.369 --> 0:24:37.280 just go back to even the Declaration of Independence. We 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.580 hold these truths to be self-evident. I mean, you know, 0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.380 even a caveman can understand this. Self-evident that all men 0:24:43.420 --> 0:24:49.070 are created, not born, created equal. And that they're endowed 0:24:49.130 --> 0:24:51.760 by their creator with certain inalienable rights. And among them 0:24:51.820 --> 0:24:54.600 are what? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I've 0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:57.000 never known a person to pursue happiness that wasn't alive. 0:24:57.619 --> 0:25:00.260 I've never known a person to enjoy liberty that wasn't alive. 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:03.500 Life is the first fundamental right that we have. Every 0:25:03.580 --> 0:25:06.140 other right is based on that and built upon that. 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:10.379 And abortion takes a life. It is a violation of, 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.820 I think, the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments, taking a 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.739 life without due process. And so he's just speaking out 0:25:16.790 --> 0:25:19.230 of ignorance. You can't just rewrite the Bible to say 0:25:19.270 --> 0:25:19.830 what you want. 0:25:20.570 --> 0:25:24.730 Well, and he said some other interesting things. When it 0:25:24.790 --> 0:25:28.290 comes to Christianity and God and Jesus and, you know, 0:25:28.650 --> 0:25:33.650 one of his other famous quotes is that God is non-binary. And, 0:25:33.690 --> 0:25:36.290 you know, I mean, he's put the suggestion out there 0:25:36.330 --> 0:25:41.180 that Jesus was transgender and things like this. And, you know, 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.560 I always find it interesting, Gary Click, that, you know, 0:25:45.140 --> 0:25:47.300 part of the faith of being a Christian or a 0:25:47.300 --> 0:25:52.060 Catholic is you have faith in the notion of the 0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:56.100 virgin birth of the Virgin Mary. And so, you know, 0:25:56.619 --> 0:25:58.800 the people who want to criticize that want to tell 0:25:58.859 --> 0:26:01.119 us that, you know, of course, you got to believe 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:04.680 the science. It's all about the science. And so we 0:26:04.740 --> 0:26:08.470 are foolish for believing such a notion that that God 0:26:08.510 --> 0:26:13.010 could reach down and and have someone, you know, a 0:26:13.070 --> 0:26:15.670 woman who was a virgin give birth to what to 0:26:15.730 --> 0:26:20.520 his only son. And then those same people will tell 0:26:20.580 --> 0:26:23.750 us that they, you know, a boy could can take 0:26:23.830 --> 0:26:27.970 some puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and have some surgery 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.419 and then somehow become a girl. So I don't know 0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:33.159 how you square those two notions. 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.840 Well, you can't. James needs Jesus. That's what he needs, 0:26:37.100 --> 0:26:40.080 and he doesn't have him. I mean that not as 0:26:40.100 --> 0:26:42.980 an insult. I mean that sincerely. I want people to 0:26:43.020 --> 0:26:45.370 come to Jesus and know Christ as their Lord and Savior, 0:26:45.430 --> 0:26:47.290 and that clears up a whole lot of confusion for 0:26:47.330 --> 0:26:50.990 people if they can ever do that. But it's, you know, 0:26:51.010 --> 0:26:54.169 this whole idea that they're just trying to form God 0:26:54.210 --> 0:26:57.210 in their image, and they're trying to conform the scriptures 0:26:57.300 --> 0:27:02.060 to their worldview instead of letting the scriptures conform their worldview. And, 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:03.720 you know, we don't get to write the Bible. The 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:05.540 Bible should be writing on us, and it should be 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:07.680 writing on our hearts and our minds, and we should 0:27:07.700 --> 0:27:09.920 be conforming to the Word of God, not trying to 0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.139 get the Word of God to conform to us. It's 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:15.879 just utter nonsense. No one who has a relationship with God, 0:27:15.900 --> 0:27:19.360 with the Lord Jesus Christ, believes anything James Tallarico has 0:27:19.380 --> 0:27:19.680 to say. 0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:24.240 You know, but I find individuals like him because he's 0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.500 not a dumb guy. He's not he's not a stupid guy. 0:27:26.540 --> 0:27:30.060 He's he's a he's a pretty smart guy. He's he's 0:27:30.140 --> 0:27:33.330 very clever with the way the devil. 0:27:33.770 --> 0:27:34.200 Yeah. 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.730 Well, I think you're you just jumped ahead of me. 0:27:36.750 --> 0:27:38.490 I think of the point I was going to I 0:27:38.530 --> 0:27:40.450 was going to tee you up for. But he's very 0:27:40.510 --> 0:27:44.050 clever when it comes to explaining his points and and 0:27:44.109 --> 0:27:48.350 wordsmithing his way around. I think what our. you know, 0:27:48.390 --> 0:27:51.729 the elephants in the room, so to speak. So when 0:27:51.780 --> 0:27:55.580 you have guys like this that are looking to get 0:27:55.700 --> 0:27:59.240 into positions of power, I think that is very dangerous 0:27:59.260 --> 0:28:01.659 for the country. And I sort of put him and 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:07.199 Pete Buttigieg in that same category because Buttigieg is, you know, 0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:11.379 he's not a dumb guy. He's very clever. He's, you know, 0:28:11.510 --> 0:28:16.750 he can be very charming to people who don't know him. 0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:20.540 and he seems like a smart guy. And again, he's 0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:25.220 very handy with the way he's able to explain things. 0:28:25.740 --> 0:28:28.000 And I think he can, you know, people who may 0:28:28.060 --> 0:28:30.500 not be too sure about some of these issues, I 0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.460 think he's able to convince them that he's on the 0:28:33.500 --> 0:28:34.560 right side of these issues. 0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:39.280 You know, I was just thinking earlier today, going back 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:43.820 to my childhood memory of a of a record player 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.980 on the kitchen table playing my mom and dad's old 0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.520 45s and i used a wooden spoon as a microphone 0:28:49.580 --> 0:28:52.840 and i was lip-syncing to elvis presley and he had 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.700 that song you walk like an angel you talk like 0:28:55.740 --> 0:28:58.150 an angel but i got wise you're the devil in 0:28:58.170 --> 0:29:02.120 disguise You know, I'm not going to torture you by 0:29:02.140 --> 0:29:04.680 trying to sing that because that would like everybody would 0:29:04.700 --> 0:29:07.880 just turn off the radios immediately. But the reality is 0:29:07.900 --> 0:29:11.910 the Bible says even the devil, Satan, appears as an 0:29:12.110 --> 0:29:15.590 angel of light. He pretends to be the good thing 0:29:15.630 --> 0:29:18.370 when he's really the bad thing. And don't forget, you know, 0:29:18.390 --> 0:29:21.570 when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. You know, there 0:29:21.590 --> 0:29:24.850 was three temptations, and Satan appeals to the lust of 0:29:24.870 --> 0:29:26.510 the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride 0:29:26.550 --> 0:29:28.910 of life. That's all that's in the world, according to 0:29:28.910 --> 0:29:31.110 1 John 2, 15 and 16. And that's what he 0:29:31.370 --> 0:29:33.670 tried to tempt Jesus with. It's what he tempted Eve 0:29:33.710 --> 0:29:36.050 with in the garden. But every time he did that, 0:29:36.590 --> 0:29:39.490 you know what he did? He took Scripture, but he 0:29:39.610 --> 0:29:43.540 took it. out of context every single time because the 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.800 devil knows the Bible forwards and backwards. He knows the 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.000 Bible better than I do. He knows better than you do. 0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:51.330 And if you're not squared up in the Bible, if 0:29:51.370 --> 0:29:54.750 you're not... Study, search in the scriptures. The Bible says, 0:29:55.110 --> 0:29:57.570 study to show they self-approved in the God, a workman 0:29:57.590 --> 0:30:00.590 that not needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the 0:30:00.610 --> 0:30:02.770 word of truth. And if you're not reading the Bible, 0:30:02.830 --> 0:30:06.030 studying the Bible, go into a good church, not a 0:30:06.050 --> 0:30:08.010 woke church, because no woke church is a good church. 0:30:08.490 --> 0:30:11.230 but going to a church that leads, preaches, and teaches 0:30:11.300 --> 0:30:13.380 the Bible as it is to men and women as 0:30:13.460 --> 0:30:16.880 they are, then you're going to understand the difference between 0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.640 some of those things. And we can have certain denominational differences, 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:23.720 but as John Adams said, he said, the core principles 0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.750 of Christianity, the general principles of Christianity, upon which all 0:30:27.830 --> 0:30:30.310 sects are agreed, that's what he said to Jefferson, our 0:30:30.370 --> 0:30:34.880 country was founded upon. And we know those basic truths. 0:30:34.890 --> 0:30:36.780 Like you said, the virgin birth. It doesn't matter if 0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:40.500 you're a Catholic, a Baptist, a Presbyterian, whatever. You believe 0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:41.410 in the virgin birth. 0:30:42.150 --> 0:30:44.050 And how is that so hard to imagine? 0:30:44.090 --> 0:30:48.610 Listen, if God... can just speak the world into existence, 0:30:48.690 --> 0:30:50.210 if he can just say, let there be light and 0:30:50.230 --> 0:30:53.230 there was light, and if he can speak the sun 0:30:53.270 --> 0:30:55.510 and the moon and the stars into existence, if he 0:30:55.550 --> 0:30:57.530 can scoop up the dust of the earth and create 0:30:57.570 --> 0:31:00.550 a man and breathe into him the breath of life 0:31:00.630 --> 0:31:03.410 and take a rib from under him and create a woman, 0:31:03.750 --> 0:31:05.260 how is that so hard to believe? 0:31:06.300 --> 0:31:08.680 You know, I think about that all the time, Gary Click, 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:12.060 what you were just talking about right there. And I 0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:16.520 read a lot about the different The web telescopes we 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.370 have out there and all the scientific discoveries that we're 0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:22.530 making right now about the origins of the universe. And 0:31:23.190 --> 0:31:26.510 it's amazing that the more we learn, the more questions 0:31:26.570 --> 0:31:29.890 we have and the more we find out that, you 0:31:29.930 --> 0:31:32.790 know what, the version that we have and the way 0:31:32.830 --> 0:31:36.930 we thought the universe was constructed may not be right. 0:31:37.470 --> 0:31:40.890 And so, you know, the more we learn, it comes 0:31:40.950 --> 0:31:43.870 out the more questions we that we have. And I 0:31:43.930 --> 0:31:46.590 think a lot of scientists are now saying that we 0:31:46.630 --> 0:31:50.700 may never be able to get to what happened before. 0:31:51.220 --> 0:31:55.300 And so when you get there, it's my way of thinking, 0:31:55.340 --> 0:31:57.640 that's where you get into the realm of God. I mean, 0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:02.050 you get into those areas that we will never be 0:32:02.110 --> 0:32:06.630 able to explain. And that is where the faith comes in. 0:32:07.910 --> 0:32:09.310 I went to a Christian school from. 0:32:09.210 --> 0:32:14.120 The ninth grade up. And in our science textbooks, we 0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.980 learned this, that science is the art and study of 0:32:17.060 --> 0:32:22.979 God's creation. And science and scripture never conflict. And when 0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:26.180 we think they do, the conflict is in our understanding, 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.170 not in the word of God and not in science, 0:32:28.490 --> 0:32:31.270 but we got to figure it out. But God has 0:32:31.350 --> 0:32:34.969 created this whole thing. If you've got the laws of science, 0:32:34.990 --> 0:32:37.690 you have to have a lawgiver for the laws, right? 0:32:37.790 --> 0:32:39.540 And God is a lawgiver. He's the one that set 0:32:39.580 --> 0:32:42.020 down all the laws of science. He's the one that 0:32:42.060 --> 0:32:45.040 created gravity. He's the one that created that second law 0:32:45.100 --> 0:32:49.640 of thermodynamics. He's the one that created every scientific law 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.640 that exists. And the more we understand God, the more 0:32:53.700 --> 0:32:55.960 we understand those. You know, the Bible talks about the 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.620 channels and the seas. You know, the Bible says he 0:32:58.700 --> 0:33:00.840 sits on the circle of the earth. When everyone thought that, 0:33:00.900 --> 0:33:03.610 you know, the earth was flat sitting on the back 0:33:03.660 --> 0:33:06.700 of some guy on his knees on the top of 0:33:06.770 --> 0:33:09.030 a turtle or whatever that was that they used to think. 0:33:09.510 --> 0:33:12.570 You know, the Bible said that God sits on the 0:33:12.670 --> 0:33:14.230 circle of the earth. It's a globe. 0:33:14.310 --> 0:33:14.810 It's a round. 0:33:14.870 --> 0:33:19.890 It's a sphere. And now there are archaeologists I'm reading 0:33:19.930 --> 0:33:23.490 about who now think they've discovered where Noah's Ark is, 0:33:23.590 --> 0:33:26.330 and they're doing some deep dives and researches in there. 0:33:26.410 --> 0:33:29.850 You know, the Bible has never, ever, ever, never been 0:33:29.910 --> 0:33:32.670 proven to be false. Now, we do have to accept 0:33:32.730 --> 0:33:35.430 some things on faith, but the things we accept on 0:33:35.470 --> 0:33:39.290 faith do not contradict science. They just may not have 0:33:39.950 --> 0:33:43.930 scientific support, but that's not the same as contradicting science. 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:46.680 And the fact is, is the guy who created the 0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:48.560 laws is the one who knows how to work around 0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:50.720 those laws as well. Yeah. 0:33:50.980 --> 0:33:53.360 I mean, it's a, it's a, it's a great discussion 0:33:53.500 --> 0:33:56.500 and a great thought process. And I love seeing it 0:33:57.060 --> 0:33:59.720 all the time. And I think back and you, you know, 0:33:59.900 --> 0:34:02.280 I went to Catholic school when I was in grade school, 0:34:02.300 --> 0:34:05.720 went to a Catholic high school. And it's, you know, if, 0:34:05.980 --> 0:34:08.620 if you did that, a lot of those who were 0:34:08.660 --> 0:34:10.580 on the other side of that equation, I'm going to 0:34:10.620 --> 0:34:12.799 call you a flat earther and, you know, you don't, 0:34:12.940 --> 0:34:14.560 don't believe in science and all the rest of it. 0:34:14.580 --> 0:34:17.010 But when I went to high school, when I went 0:34:17.030 --> 0:34:19.270 to grade school and high school, we learned about Darwinism. 0:34:19.330 --> 0:34:22.469 We learned, you know, that the earth rotates around the 0:34:22.510 --> 0:34:25.270 sun and we, and we, you know, we, we are, 0:34:25.330 --> 0:34:29.589 we're presented with facts, but then we are also presented with, again, how, 0:34:29.750 --> 0:34:34.739 how the, how those facts, uh, when you dovetail with 0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:38.100 everything that, uh, that you learn about, uh, the Catholic 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:41.469 faith and, and Christianity and all, and all the rest 0:34:41.510 --> 0:34:44.230 of it. So, you know, when we get all these 0:34:44.310 --> 0:34:47.430 newfangled ideas and I, and I, I mean, even some 0:34:47.450 --> 0:34:51.489 of the most absurd, I see some of these, uh, uh, 0:34:51.610 --> 0:34:54.290 and I, I don't know what, uh, you know, what, 0:34:54.450 --> 0:34:58.950 what tenant of religion they are, but they, you get these, uh, these, 0:34:59.010 --> 0:35:02.180 these feet, a lot, a lot of female preachers I see, uh, 0:35:02.219 --> 0:35:05.500 going out there and this one female preacher talks about 0:35:05.540 --> 0:35:08.200 how I've got three kids and I've had two abortions 0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:12.370 and it's, You know, God smiled on my abortion and 0:35:12.430 --> 0:35:14.589 all the rest of it. And I just, I mean, 0:35:14.670 --> 0:35:17.549 it just, these kind of things drive me crazy. 0:35:18.890 --> 0:35:21.420 But her God's not Jesus Christ, I can guarantee you that. 0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.660 It's a false God. And, you know, the Bible talks 0:35:24.940 --> 0:35:27.440 all over the place. And even Jesus warned us and 0:35:27.460 --> 0:35:31.469 Jeremiah warned us of false prophets. There's a lot of 0:35:31.530 --> 0:35:36.890 Jezebels out there. There's a lot of liars out there. 0:35:37.820 --> 0:35:41.219 It's not anything new that people say stupid stuff. They've 0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:44.300 been doing it all through the scriptures, and they've always 0:35:44.340 --> 0:35:47.200 been called out. Just read Jeremiah 23. It talks about 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.580 all the false prophets, all the false shepherds. Jesus talked 0:35:50.620 --> 0:35:54.339 about it. He rebuked them to their face. Don't you 0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:57.250 remember Jesus turning over the tables in the temple? you know, 0:35:57.310 --> 0:35:59.609 sometimes we turn our cheeks, but other times we turn 0:35:59.650 --> 0:36:02.670 over the tables. There's two sides to that. And, you know, 0:36:02.710 --> 0:36:05.270 sometimes people think Christians are supposed to be just all 0:36:05.310 --> 0:36:09.870 nice and lovey-dovey and huggy and kissy and kumbaya. And, 0:36:09.910 --> 0:36:13.680 you know, sometimes, you know, don't forget that Jesus, you know, 0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:15.620 made a cat a name because he made a little 0:36:15.660 --> 0:36:17.580 whip and went in and chased out the money changers 0:36:17.620 --> 0:36:19.960 out of the temples. And sometimes we need to just 0:36:20.180 --> 0:36:23.120 stand firm and tell it how it is. And And, uh, 0:36:23.540 --> 0:36:26.000 call these guys what they are. They're a bunch of vipers. 0:36:26.020 --> 0:36:28.000 They're a bunch of hypocrites, a bunch of liars. They 0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.990 are not Christians. And that's the Christian thing to say 0:36:31.050 --> 0:36:31.390 about them. 0:36:31.930 --> 0:36:32.350 All right. 0:36:32.430 --> 0:36:36.109 Yeah, it is, it is horrible to lead someone into 0:36:36.150 --> 0:36:38.169 a lie. That is the least loving thing you can do. 0:36:38.650 --> 0:36:41.230 All right. Well, Gary click. I appreciate you weighing in 0:36:41.290 --> 0:36:44.670 on this topic tonight. Great discussion. And I saw that, uh, 0:36:45.150 --> 0:36:47.649 that spectrum news did a little profile on you. Did 0:36:47.670 --> 0:36:48.709 they give you a fair shake? 0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:50.660 Oh, yeah, they did. 0:36:50.700 --> 0:36:51.980 They really did. 0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:53.650 Travis Figgs was. 0:36:54.570 --> 0:36:58.230 Yeah, I, well, I know. Well, I actually, he might've 0:36:58.270 --> 0:37:00.150 softened my edges a little bit more than what I 0:37:00.290 --> 0:37:01.550 usually they make my edges. 0:37:01.370 --> 0:37:03.350 A lot harder and make me look more extreme. 0:37:03.370 --> 0:37:05.830 But he probably made me maybe a little softer than 0:37:05.850 --> 0:37:08.990 what I actually am. But he was a good person. 0:37:10.050 --> 0:37:12.069 I enjoyed speaking with him and I thought he did 0:37:12.110 --> 0:37:12.570 a good piece. 0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:13.180 Oh, good. 0:37:13.219 --> 0:37:17.839 Well, miracles do never cease. So, uh, thank God for that. 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.970 Gary Click gets an honest appraisal in the, uh, in 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:22.540 the media. 0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:24.320 Mark it down on your calendars. 0:37:24.380 --> 0:37:25.740 Never forget that ever happened. 0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:30.279 That's one W for you right there.

And if you don't vote, you're voting for 0:37:47.700 --> 0:37:50.120 the wrong team. That's a non-vote is a vote and 0:37:50.140 --> 0:37:52.549 to vote for the wrong people. Go show up, call 0:37:52.590 --> 0:37:55.210 your friends, take your friends with you.

Dan Carroll in for Gary Jeff on a 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:10.120 Monday night. Weird for me to be here on a 0:39:10.140 --> 0:39:14.860 Monday night, I know. He was in for Cunningham earlier today. 0:39:14.940 --> 0:39:17.600 I'm in for him tonight. That's the way it works sometimes. 0:39:20.989 --> 0:39:23.930 And even though it's a Monday, I still got some 0:39:23.969 --> 0:39:26.509 great guests. And before I get to my guests, I 0:39:26.530 --> 0:39:30.350 got to... I played a little soundbite earlier from... the 0:39:30.530 --> 0:39:35.750 Trump rally tonight in Kansas. And Ted Nugent showed up 0:39:35.770 --> 0:39:39.190 at the rally. He said, Trump called me. I was 0:39:39.230 --> 0:39:41.290 in a deer stand. He said, I don't get out 0:39:41.330 --> 0:39:44.109 of a deer stand for anyone. But of course, when 0:39:44.130 --> 0:39:46.750 the Trumpster calls, you jump out of that deer stand, 0:39:46.770 --> 0:39:50.379 you head to the rally. And Ted Nugent was giving 0:39:50.390 --> 0:39:53.450 him a little, A little bit of what's great about 0:39:53.489 --> 0:39:56.290 America at the rally tonight, and it sounded like this. 0:39:56.330 --> 0:39:56.569 Hit it. 0:39:57.390 --> 0:40:00.180 Asset column. I'm a radical. 0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:01.320 I'm extremist. 0:40:02.140 --> 0:40:07.100 I believe my life pivots upon God, family, country, Constitution, 0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.940 the Bill of Rights, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, 0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:18.250 work ethic, law and order, self-defense, private property rights. 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:21.820 I know you people. 0:40:22.660 --> 0:40:27.520 You people deserve me. But you know what else I 0:40:27.540 --> 0:40:28.280 do in Kansas? 0:40:28.340 --> 0:40:29.540 I love the rock and roll. 0:40:29.600 --> 0:40:32.010 Who doesn't love the rock and roll? 0:40:35.230 --> 0:40:38.330 So my guest tonight is Zeke Arkham. And Zeke, it's 0:40:38.370 --> 0:40:40.090 great to have you on. I'm glad you're not on 0:40:40.130 --> 0:40:43.629 vacation anymore and you're back to doing what you do. 0:40:45.450 --> 0:40:47.010 How would you like to go to a Trump rally 0:40:47.030 --> 0:40:50.270 and have Nugent show up? And give that speech. That's 0:40:50.290 --> 0:40:51.489 pretty good stuff right there, isn't it? 0:40:53.030 --> 0:40:55.400 Oh, man, Tan, I would enjoy it. I would love it. 0:40:55.450 --> 0:40:58.240 You know, I was at a rally a couple years 0:40:58.280 --> 0:41:00.680 ago back in New York. I lived in New York. 0:41:01.140 --> 0:41:03.560 And Ted Nugent was supposed to be there to play 0:41:04.020 --> 0:41:07.680 the national anthem. And the Nassau County executive at the 0:41:07.700 --> 0:41:14.900 time blocked Ted Nugent from coming into the county. So, 0:41:15.260 --> 0:41:19.210 you know, anyone who makes Democrats that scared, I'm all 0:41:19.230 --> 0:41:21.770 for it. Let's keep doing it. 0:41:21.830 --> 0:41:24.969 Nugent is the best. But, Zeke, it's great to have 0:41:25.010 --> 0:41:29.250 you on. You've been posting so much stuff. I love 0:41:29.290 --> 0:41:32.170 the post you put up. Even though you were on vacation, 0:41:32.210 --> 0:41:34.180 you said, I heard there's an opening at the White House. 0:41:35.050 --> 0:41:40.340 And any response? That would be one of the greatest 0:41:40.380 --> 0:41:44.030 things of all time, to see you. as the White 0:41:44.070 --> 0:41:47.750 House press secretary, and the media would not know what 0:41:47.790 --> 0:41:51.989 hit them and see you behind that podium and come 0:41:52.030 --> 0:41:53.549 out and deal with them the way you would deal 0:41:53.590 --> 0:41:54.820 with them. That would be fantastic. 0:41:56.280 --> 0:41:58.320 Oh, man, I'd have nicknames for all of them. I 0:41:58.380 --> 0:42:00.719 would go right back at them. It would be a 0:42:00.739 --> 0:42:05.430 daily roast fest. At the White House press briefings, I 0:42:05.670 --> 0:42:08.570 would have the time of my life. You think Trump 0:42:08.610 --> 0:42:10.810 is bad? I'm going to roast him just for sitting there. 0:42:11.430 --> 0:42:16.540 So I would go down as the most hated press 0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:20.500 secretary ever, probably by some guy who I made fun 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:23.320 of right there at the briefings. So I'd have a 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:24.420 great time doing it. 0:42:24.860 --> 0:42:27.640 That is fantastic. I love the post that you put 0:42:27.739 --> 0:42:29.700 out on your social media. I believe it was a 0:42:29.700 --> 0:42:35.070 little bit earlier today. And you were talking about El-Sayed, 0:42:35.130 --> 0:42:39.029 this guy from Michigan. And he was at a– I 0:42:39.050 --> 0:42:41.339 guess he did a little Q & A over the weekend. 0:42:41.820 --> 0:42:43.860 And so you had this young fellow stand up and 0:42:44.380 --> 0:42:49.360 ask him about the Muslim Brotherhood. And then he responds. 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.660 He tries to turn the table on this guy and 0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:54.200 then responds as if there's no reason for him to 0:42:54.320 --> 0:43:00.799 ask this question and just really– using the power of 0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:04.910 the position he's in to sort of intimidate this guy 0:43:05.010 --> 0:43:07.850 and shut this guy down a little bit. But I 0:43:07.890 --> 0:43:12.450 thought your take on Al-Sayed was pretty good. I think 0:43:12.469 --> 0:43:16.049 there are legitimate reasons, and especially when you look at 0:43:16.090 --> 0:43:18.410 some of the information that's come to light over the 0:43:18.450 --> 0:43:22.250 last five or six days about his family connections to 0:43:22.270 --> 0:43:26.030 the Muslim Brotherhood, what his sister said about it, Obama 0:43:26.050 --> 0:43:29.640 put his sister on a terrorist watch list, all this 0:43:29.660 --> 0:43:36.460 sort of thing. Why can't we, as Americans, ask legitimate 0:43:36.500 --> 0:43:39.250 questions about what he may or may not have in 0:43:39.290 --> 0:43:41.850 mind should he make it to the Senate of the 0:43:41.910 --> 0:43:42.469 United States? 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.160 Well, I said it earlier. You know, when I was 0:43:46.260 --> 0:43:49.989 joining the NYPD, my father's side of the family has 0:43:50.070 --> 0:43:53.870 a very long rap sheet combined. They've got over 100 0:43:53.870 --> 0:43:56.890 arrests just on that side of the family. And I 0:43:56.950 --> 0:43:59.279 had to sit and I had to answer a battery 0:43:59.320 --> 0:44:01.820 of questions about when was the last time I spoke 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:04.140 to them? What kind of relationship do I have with them? 0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:06.580 I mean, it was more than once. I had to, 0:44:06.780 --> 0:44:11.450 in no uncertain terms... denounce that type of lifestyle and 0:44:11.510 --> 0:44:15.049 condemn it and say, I'm not bringing that into the NYPD. 0:44:15.489 --> 0:44:20.050 And this is just for a top job. We're looking 0:44:20.110 --> 0:44:22.910 at having him in the Senate. Hopefully it doesn't happen. 0:44:22.950 --> 0:44:25.830 Hopefully Michigan wakes up. And from what I'm seeing in Michigan, 0:44:26.690 --> 0:44:31.450 they're not that far left yet. But we as American citizens, 0:44:31.510 --> 0:44:34.350 before we decide to elect someone into office, we have 0:44:34.390 --> 0:44:36.989 the right to ask as many questions as many times 0:44:37.050 --> 0:44:40.460 as we want. And El-Sayed right now is acting like, 0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:44.200 how dare you continue to ask me about this? No, 0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.820 we're going to keep asking until we feel good about 0:44:46.969 --> 0:44:51.030 your condemnation of him. You don't get to just have a, yeah, okay, sure, 0:44:51.510 --> 0:44:54.650 moment with us. We want to hear a strongly worded 0:44:55.330 --> 0:44:59.970 condemnation where that leaves no uncertain terms. And he refuses 0:45:00.010 --> 0:45:01.690 to do it. So we're going to keep asking. 0:45:02.969 --> 0:45:06.020 And I think back to the first time that Trump 0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:09.610 ran for president. and you had David Duke out there, 0:45:09.670 --> 0:45:12.230 and he said he was endorsing Trump. And all of 0:45:12.310 --> 0:45:16.820 a sudden, Trump is welcoming the support of the KKK 0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:19.279 and racists like David Duke and all the rest of it. 0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:24.260 How many times did Trump have to suffer these fools 0:45:24.380 --> 0:45:27.980 asking these questions about, well, are you going to disavow 0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:31.960 the KKK and David Duke? How many times? It must 0:45:31.980 --> 0:45:35.200 have been I know I can think of at least 0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:37.259 20 or 30 times off the top of my head, 0:45:37.660 --> 0:45:39.870 but it must have been 100 or 200 or 500 0:45:39.870 --> 0:45:43.350 times that these reporters were throwing those questions out there. 0:45:44.690 --> 0:45:46.500 Well, this is why I keep saying we have the 0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.279 right to ask as many questions as many times as 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:54.190 we want. Trump, who has no connection to David Duke, 0:45:54.630 --> 0:45:57.270 aside from David Duke standing somewhere and saying, yeah, I 0:45:57.310 --> 0:46:01.810 support him, had to, in no uncertain terms, stand on 0:46:01.830 --> 0:46:04.690 the stage and say, no, I'm not with him. This 0:46:04.770 --> 0:46:06.630 is not who I am. This is not who I 0:46:06.670 --> 0:46:08.850 want in my cabinet. This is not someone I want 0:46:08.870 --> 0:46:11.270 to have my arm around. Even with the Epstein files, 0:46:11.390 --> 0:46:14.270 Trump has had to say over and over again, I 0:46:14.989 --> 0:46:18.070 wasn't friends with him. We might have had a casual acquaintance, 0:46:18.140 --> 0:46:22.290 but we weren't buddy-buddy. And, you know, I said earlier, 0:46:24.310 --> 0:46:26.350 All we're asking the outsider to do is sit at 0:46:26.390 --> 0:46:28.910 the same table Trump has had to sit at over 0:46:28.989 --> 0:46:31.509 and over and over again. Any Republican has had to 0:46:31.550 --> 0:46:33.920 sit at over and over and over again. And you 0:46:33.940 --> 0:46:37.060 don't get to say, well, you're asking because I'm Muslim. No, 0:46:37.100 --> 0:46:39.299 we're not asking it because you're Muslim. We're asking it 0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:42.140 because you have bona fide connections with them. Your sister 0:46:42.580 --> 0:46:47.140 endorses them. Your father-in-law was like a card-carrying member. So, 0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.440 I mean, we have the right to ask that question, 0:46:49.460 --> 0:46:52.820 especially if you're going to be in our government. which 0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:56.340 is a very serious position, you're going to have access 0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:59.980 to the secrets. You're going to have security clearances. We 0:47:00.020 --> 0:47:01.859 have the right to ask that question. And you know what? 0:47:01.900 --> 0:47:05.750 He's done a very poor job of answering that question 0:47:06.170 --> 0:47:08.870 and officially condemning and denouncing them. So we're going to 0:47:08.890 --> 0:47:11.870 keep asking it. And hopefully on election day, we're going 0:47:11.910 --> 0:47:15.140 to remember that it took them this long to even 0:47:15.450 --> 0:47:16.600 halfway address it. 0:47:17.650 --> 0:47:21.670 So when we look at a guy like Saeed, and 0:47:22.330 --> 0:47:24.610 I've got a whole piece I'm going to talk about later, 0:47:25.410 --> 0:47:32.000 talking about the connection between Marxists and Islamists and how 0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:35.480 much of a dangerous time we're in right now. You've 0:47:35.540 --> 0:47:38.900 got a post that you posted a little bit earlier 0:47:38.940 --> 0:47:43.440 today with all these folks with the DSA, and they're 0:47:43.460 --> 0:47:46.109 having a sing-along of one of the stupidest songs I've 0:47:46.170 --> 0:47:51.500 ever heard. and you're making fun of them in the 0:47:51.560 --> 0:47:54.900 way that you do. But the serious side of that, though, and, 0:47:54.920 --> 0:47:58.819 you know, Zeke, I get a lot of pushback when 0:47:58.860 --> 0:48:02.170 I talk about this, and people tell me that, you know, 0:48:02.270 --> 0:48:05.250 I'm being an alarmist, that there's really nothing to worry 0:48:05.290 --> 0:48:08.530 about when you look at the Red-Green Alliance out there 0:48:08.590 --> 0:48:12.259 and what's happening in France and the people who are, 0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:15.759 that you're talking about, the DSA crowd. I mean, they 0:48:15.780 --> 0:48:20.300 really want to Create the atmosphere where something like that 0:48:20.940 --> 0:48:25.610 can happen in the United States. And it's like the 0:48:25.650 --> 0:48:28.590 summer of love in 2020. I turned on the TV 0:48:28.650 --> 0:48:30.930 every night to see where the riots were that night. 0:48:31.500 --> 0:48:33.839 And I don't want to live that again in the 0:48:33.900 --> 0:48:36.299 United States. But these folks are setting the stage for it. 0:48:38.400 --> 0:48:40.940 I mean, anyone who's watching the news right now and 0:48:40.989 --> 0:48:43.770 seeing what's going on in France and then turning an 0:48:43.950 --> 0:48:45.850 eye to what the DSA is doing. And the DSA 0:48:45.890 --> 0:48:49.450 is saying, hey, listen, let's import more of these people here. 0:48:49.770 --> 0:48:52.390 You see what's going on in France? Let's import those 0:48:52.430 --> 0:48:55.030 same people here to the United States. I don't understand 0:48:55.090 --> 0:48:58.069 how anyone can hear this and watch this and go, yeah, 0:48:58.090 --> 0:49:00.600 you know what? I want that in this country. You 0:49:00.620 --> 0:49:05.750 have to be just completely oblivious to the truth. completely 0:49:05.810 --> 0:49:07.730 in order to look at that and just agree with 0:49:07.790 --> 0:49:10.520 it and think it's fine. And that's not okay with 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:13.219 me at all. So what happens is we have to 0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.420 keep putting out that message as it comes to November 0:49:15.860 --> 0:49:17.730 to say, hey, listen, you see what's happening in France, 0:49:17.750 --> 0:49:19.689 you see what's happening in Italy, you see what's going 0:49:19.770 --> 0:49:22.299 on in across Europe. Yeah, we don't want that here 0:49:22.340 --> 0:49:25.500 because we have people who want to actively import that 0:49:25.580 --> 0:49:28.750 type of violence and that type of mayhem here. So 0:49:28.770 --> 0:49:30.469 we just have to keep putting out the message, that's all. 0:49:30.950 --> 0:49:34.330 And come November, hopefully we'll have a nice red wave 0:49:34.550 --> 0:49:36.490 looking at our government. 0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:42.600 I hope you're right because every newscast I hear, especially 0:49:42.680 --> 0:49:46.560 now that the early voting has started, I don't know, 0:49:46.660 --> 0:49:49.319 is the early voting already underway in Florida where you are? 0:49:50.930 --> 0:49:54.410 Oh, yeah, definitely. And I'm liking my seat so far 0:49:54.430 --> 0:49:55.830 here in Florida. I moved to the right place. 0:49:55.930 --> 0:50:00.250 Yeah, absolutely. But, yeah, the early voting is underway here 0:50:00.270 --> 0:50:03.819 in Ohio and it's underway there in states all across 0:50:03.840 --> 0:50:08.430 the country. And every newscast I hear is, is slanted 0:50:08.469 --> 0:50:13.560 talking about how Trump's approval rating is at an all-time low. 0:50:14.060 --> 0:50:19.040 He's on the campaign trail campaigning in all these traditionally 0:50:19.100 --> 0:50:21.759 red states. And we're supposed to believe, I guess we're 0:50:21.780 --> 0:50:26.419 supposed to put sort of connect the dots there and say, well, 0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:30.390 he's campaigning in these red states. So the Republicans are 0:50:30.430 --> 0:50:33.069 in trouble and everything is going to be going to 0:50:33.090 --> 0:50:36.569 the left and And so I don't know. When you 0:50:36.590 --> 0:50:40.779 look at all the way these newscasts present all this 0:50:41.500 --> 0:50:43.819 to the American people, what goes through your mind? What 0:50:43.860 --> 0:50:45.600 do you think when you see these things? 0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:52.170 Well, I keep going back to Hillary Clinton in 1996. 0:50:52.170 --> 0:50:56.360 They said that Hillary Clinton had a 90% chance of 0:50:56.460 --> 0:51:00.520 winning the presidency. And I think it was in Newsweek 0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:04.799 that already printed out magazines that said Madam President on it. 0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:06.980 Madam President, yeah, had the photo of her on the 0:51:07.180 --> 0:51:11.270 magazine cover, yeah. Where are those magazine covers now, by 0:51:11.310 --> 0:51:13.770 the way? I wonder where those things are. 0:51:14.469 --> 0:51:18.070 Probably the same place they send the losing NFL. 0:51:17.610 --> 0:51:19.010 Super Bowl team journey. 0:51:19.030 --> 0:51:24.190 Yeah. Some tribe in Nigeria right now is. 0:51:24.170 --> 0:51:26.219 Like, hey, Hillary Clinton's doing an amazing. 0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:31.180 Job as president, huh? But, yeah, I mean, I look 0:51:31.219 --> 0:51:33.600 at that and I don't get too flustered. I mean, 0:51:33.620 --> 0:51:38.029 you know, they projected Hillary Clinton to win by, what 0:51:38.090 --> 0:51:41.590 was it, something like 20 points. When you look at Texas, 0:51:42.330 --> 0:51:47.760 Ted Cruz was projected to lose to Beto O'Rourke. by 0:51:47.820 --> 0:51:50.360 like five points. So I mean, you gotta look at 0:51:50.380 --> 0:51:54.100 which side the legacy media is on. They want Democrats 0:51:54.140 --> 0:51:56.540 to win. They want Democrats to hold the House and 0:51:56.560 --> 0:52:01.420 the Senate and everything else like that. Trump's presidency a failure. 0:52:02.080 --> 0:52:04.050 So I guess I don't put too much stock in it. 0:52:04.900 --> 0:52:07.800 Right now, I have James Palo Rico neck and neck 0:52:08.280 --> 0:52:11.310 in Texas. And every time you talk to Texas, they're like, well, 0:52:11.370 --> 0:52:15.270 from where? From whom? So I don't put too much 0:52:15.310 --> 0:52:16.730 stock in it. Like I said, I look at the 0:52:16.750 --> 0:52:21.130 polls and I hope and pray that the country is 0:52:21.170 --> 0:52:23.969 just moving towards the right direction. And when I say 0:52:23.989 --> 0:52:27.170 the right direction, away from Democrat socialism. 0:52:28.380 --> 0:52:31.480 You know, it's amazing to me, as long as you've 0:52:31.500 --> 0:52:37.380 been doing this and doing the commentary and speaking out 0:52:37.420 --> 0:52:41.160 the way you've been speaking out, it's amazing to me. 0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:45.400 And you posted about this as well a couple of 0:52:45.460 --> 0:52:49.009 days ago, that you still get a lot of criticism 0:52:50.110 --> 0:52:52.489 from folks who say that you're not being black the 0:52:52.530 --> 0:52:56.270 right way, that I guess there's a certain way that 0:52:56.310 --> 0:52:59.620 you that you have to, if you're black, you have 0:52:59.660 --> 0:53:01.580 to think a certain way, you have to vote a 0:53:01.620 --> 0:53:04.140 certain way, you have to act a certain way. And 0:53:04.180 --> 0:53:09.180 I think there's a growing number of people like you that, 0:53:09.340 --> 0:53:14.180 as Candace Owens used to say, you know, get off 0:53:14.200 --> 0:53:22.200 the plantation and think for yourself and not be adherent 0:53:22.600 --> 0:53:29.450 to the leftist Democrat solutions for uh for for what 0:53:29.570 --> 0:53:31.989 ails the you know what ails the country or or 0:53:32.050 --> 0:53:35.470 what makes you uh acceptable as a as a black 0:53:35.530 --> 0:53:39.260 man and it's it's just amazing to me that those 0:53:39.460 --> 0:53:43.520 sort of criticisms uh still come along as long as 0:53:43.540 --> 0:53:46.319 you've been doing this and you and i think you're 0:53:46.360 --> 0:53:50.540 persuading a lot of other people to uh open their 0:53:50.660 --> 0:53:53.900 eyes and wake up and and have this awakening and 0:53:54.320 --> 0:53:56.819 much like uh You know, much like you've done for 0:53:56.860 --> 0:53:57.800 yourself and your family. 0:53:59.890 --> 0:54:03.089 Well, I had a free Palestine. It was the funniest thing. 0:54:03.150 --> 0:54:07.589 He was a white Jewish guy who supports free Palestine. 0:54:08.510 --> 0:54:11.129 And about two or three weeks ago, he lectured me 0:54:11.630 --> 0:54:16.010 on his Instagram page and said that fully he opened 0:54:16.090 --> 0:54:19.770 my eyes to things. And he mentioned my race about 0:54:19.850 --> 0:54:25.670 five times during the post. And I almost wanted to respond, 0:54:26.250 --> 0:54:28.480 but he was looking for more engagement for himself, so 0:54:28.500 --> 0:54:30.839 I decided not to feed the troll. But I said, 0:54:30.920 --> 0:54:34.400 here's a white guy who just instructed a black guy, 0:54:34.420 --> 0:54:38.810 a white guy from God knows where, who just instructed 0:54:38.830 --> 0:54:41.190 a black guy from New York on how to be 0:54:41.310 --> 0:54:43.989 black and how to think. And I said, this is 0:54:44.030 --> 0:54:47.950 the funniest thing ever. Do these people hear themselves speak? 0:54:48.890 --> 0:54:53.009 Do they hear what they're saying and how. 0:54:52.920 --> 0:54:53.739 Racist it is? 0:54:55.780 --> 0:54:58.879 You're black, so I'm going to adjust you so that 0:54:58.920 --> 0:55:01.759 you start thinking, speaking, and acting the way I think 0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:05.940 you should. And I've been doing this right now for 0:55:06.320 --> 0:55:10.580 about the past seven years. And once a day, I 0:55:10.840 --> 0:55:13.739 get a white liberal leftist who thinks they need to 0:55:13.780 --> 0:55:17.110 re-instruct me on how I should be acting and thinking. 0:55:17.750 --> 0:55:20.070 So I'm used to it by now. I point it 0:55:20.150 --> 0:55:21.950 out and I just say, hey, you know, the party 0:55:22.010 --> 0:55:26.850 of racism never switched. They just have different PR right now. 0:55:26.930 --> 0:55:27.549 That's all it is. 0:55:28.610 --> 0:55:34.210 Well, Zeke, to my way of thinking, I mean, you're 0:55:34.489 --> 0:55:38.940 doing just unbelievable work.

Dan Carroll in for Gary Jeff, 700 WLW. 0:57:23.910 --> 0:57:35.570 All right, back on the big one, 700 WLW. It 0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:38.780 is the nightcap. Even though I'm not Gary Jeff Walker, 0:57:38.880 --> 0:57:43.660 Dan Carroll in for Gary Jeff. Drew Westerheide running the 0:57:43.700 --> 0:57:48.970 big board in the 700 WLW command center. And I 0:57:49.010 --> 0:57:52.680 mentioned earlier that my guest tonight was going to be 0:57:52.720 --> 0:57:56.820 Steve Oldfield, and he was at the Trump rally in 0:57:58.300 --> 0:58:01.900 Northern Kentucky University over the weekend. And Steve Oldfield is 0:58:02.920 --> 0:58:06.050 my old pal from my Fox 19 days, movie critic 0:58:06.110 --> 0:58:09.050 back then. Now he's a movie maker in his own right, 0:58:09.750 --> 0:58:14.530 professor at Thomas More University. Steve Oldfield, great to have 0:58:14.550 --> 0:58:15.770 you on the show tonight. How are you doing? 0:58:16.820 --> 0:58:20.240 It's always great to talk to you. And I got 0:58:20.260 --> 0:58:22.720 to tell you, Dan, I'm a little worried about the 0:58:22.780 --> 0:58:27.140 Republicans in this midterm election after going to the rally. 0:58:27.730 --> 0:58:29.410 Really? Yeah. 0:58:29.850 --> 0:58:32.970 Well, for one thing, you know, the people who ran it. 0:58:33.500 --> 0:58:36.500 We're very smart. If you've ever been to the truest 0:58:37.160 --> 0:58:38.780 arena at Northern Kentucky University. 0:58:38.800 --> 0:58:40.140 I've been there many times. 0:58:40.640 --> 0:58:43.990 Yeah, so there's a lower section, and then there's an 0:58:44.130 --> 0:58:50.130 upper section. They packed the lower section, so all the photos... 0:58:50.070 --> 0:58:53.230 All the video had everybody thinking, wow, it was a 0:58:53.290 --> 0:58:57.500 packed place. But in reality, the whole upper deck was empty. 0:58:57.580 --> 0:59:01.900 So their capacity is about 10,000. My guess is maybe 0:59:01.940 --> 0:59:06.550 there was 5,000 there, but no more than that for sure. 0:59:07.290 --> 0:59:12.240 And I sneaked out. at one point and looked outside. 0:59:12.560 --> 0:59:16.480 They had constructed this giant overflow area with a huge 0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:20.720 video screen with sound. That was completely empty because they 0:59:20.740 --> 0:59:22.780 didn't need it because they barely had. 0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:27.180 5,000 people to fill the lower bowl. I was thinking 0:59:27.240 --> 0:59:31.010 about that when you told me that. And now this 0:59:31.030 --> 0:59:33.460 was on Saturday. What time did the rally start? 0:59:34.460 --> 0:59:34.600 What? 0:59:36.640 --> 0:59:39.910 And President Trump showed up. For once, he was actually 0:59:40.030 --> 0:59:41.110 close to on time. 0:59:41.130 --> 0:59:43.510 I'd say he got there around 2.10. Okay. 0:59:44.290 --> 0:59:46.530 You know, when he was in Hebron, I was there 0:59:47.030 --> 0:59:49.390 a few months ago back in March, and he was 0:59:49.430 --> 0:59:50.870 like two and a half hours late. 0:59:50.970 --> 0:59:51.250 Wow. 0:59:51.750 --> 0:59:51.910 Okay. 0:59:52.030 --> 0:59:53.040 But for this. 0:59:53.010 --> 0:59:56.000 One, he was almost on time. So about 2 o'clock 0:59:56.060 --> 0:59:56.980 on a Saturday. Yeah. 0:59:57.160 --> 1:00:00.800 So, you know, I was thinking that, you know, it 1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:02.060 was a Saturday. You had really. 1:00:06.320 --> 1:00:09.690 I think some other big events that were competing for 1:00:09.730 --> 1:00:13.790 people's eyeballs. And I'm thinking you had the Ohio State-Indiana 1:00:13.810 --> 1:00:15.750 game that kicked off at noon, so that was still 1:00:15.790 --> 1:00:18.610 going on at 2 o'clock. You had the big UC 1:00:18.670 --> 1:00:22.390 game at West Virginia, so that had a lot of 1:00:22.450 --> 1:00:24.870 interest for people. That was still going on at 2 o'clock. 1:00:26.110 --> 1:00:28.250 I'm not sure who Thomas Moore was playing, but I'm 1:00:28.290 --> 1:00:30.670 sure there was a big crowd at the Thomas Moore game. 1:00:30.710 --> 1:00:31.490 We were playing Ashland. 1:00:31.510 --> 1:00:33.390 Ashland, and there you go, big. 1:00:33.390 --> 1:00:34.610 Rivalry game right there. 1:00:34.630 --> 1:00:34.730 Yeah. 1:00:36.830 --> 1:00:38.050 Thomas Moore didn't win that game? 1:00:41.030 --> 1:00:41.320 Yeah. 1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:44.180 Too bad. And you know the other thing, let's be 1:00:44.220 --> 1:00:44.940 honest about this. 1:00:44.960 --> 1:00:45.560 Okay, let's be honest. 1:00:45.580 --> 1:00:48.280 Because I've met both of them. I've talked to them. 1:00:49.180 --> 1:00:52.080 We have two of the most boring congressional candidates in. 1:00:52.060 --> 1:00:53.020 The country this time. 1:00:53.410 --> 1:00:55.390 For the republican side. 1:00:55.030 --> 1:00:57.010 Uh well yeah that's. 1:00:56.850 --> 1:00:59.950 A bar who looks like a used car salesman and 1:01:00.050 --> 1:01:03.520 has the cheesiest commercial in the history of campaign commercials 1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:06.720 of his he's got a real sweet daughter who's very 1:01:07.340 --> 1:01:09.700 she's much better on camera than her dad is i 1:01:09.740 --> 1:01:12.689 think that's why they had her do the commercial but have. 1:01:12.610 --> 1:01:14.890 You seen it i have not i have not seen 1:01:14.930 --> 1:01:15.950 the commercial for bar. 1:01:16.150 --> 1:01:19.170 So she sits there next to him, and she says, 1:01:19.610 --> 1:01:23.250 my dad is kind of a nerd. And she talks 1:01:23.310 --> 1:01:27.570 about how he wears his outfit that he wears to 1:01:27.590 --> 1:01:32.590 the derby or to the races at Keeneland all year round, 1:01:32.660 --> 1:01:35.050 that he gives her a lump of coal for Christmas 1:01:35.070 --> 1:01:37.840 because he thinks that's good. And he has this kind 1:01:37.880 --> 1:01:41.520 of goofy smile on his face the whole time. And 1:01:41.560 --> 1:01:48.280 then the other guy is Galrond running for Congress. And 1:01:48.540 --> 1:01:50.620 I got to tell you, Dan, you've known me a 1:01:50.640 --> 1:01:54.360 long time. I like to think I'm a pretty confident person, 1:01:54.800 --> 1:01:58.410 but I'm guessing that you would never describe me as intimidating, right? 1:01:59.010 --> 1:02:03.350 No. You are not an intimidating guy. 1:02:04.150 --> 1:02:04.420 I am 5'7. 1:02:04.430 --> 1:02:05.830 But we love you. Okay. 1:02:07.470 --> 1:02:10.169 Yeah, and I fully admit that. I have a little 1:02:10.190 --> 1:02:13.090 of that Napoleon complex. I never realized that I'm, like, 1:02:13.490 --> 1:02:15.870 much shorter than everybody until I see a picture. And 1:02:16.290 --> 1:02:20.090 I'm like, gosh, I really am a runt, right? So 1:02:20.630 --> 1:02:22.590 I go up to Galrein. 1:02:22.090 --> 1:02:22.970 After this is over. 1:02:22.990 --> 1:02:26.780 I've met him before. Go up to him, big smile, 1:02:27.260 --> 1:02:31.020 shake his hand, and I ask him the most softball 1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:34.940 question you could ever ask somebody in an event. I say, 1:02:35.040 --> 1:02:38.440 so what's it like having President Trump come here to 1:02:38.480 --> 1:02:39.060 support you? 1:02:40.340 --> 1:02:43.540 That's a pretty easy question. He should be able to 1:02:43.560 --> 1:02:44.200 knock that out. 1:02:44.160 --> 1:02:44.460 Of the park. 1:02:45.320 --> 1:02:48.550 Yeah, you would have thought, Dan, that I was a 6'5, 1:02:48.980 --> 1:02:53.220 you know, redneck from the movie Deliverance saying, you got 1:02:53.260 --> 1:02:56.900 a purty mouth. You know, he got this look on 1:02:56.960 --> 1:02:59.440 his face like he was terrified that he was actually 1:02:59.460 --> 1:03:00.980 going to have to think and. 1:03:01.060 --> 1:03:02.040 Answer a question. 1:03:02.420 --> 1:03:04.540 And he turned his back to me and walked away. 1:03:05.900 --> 1:03:09.180 And I've been told by people that he doesn't like 1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:11.500 to do press. He doesn't like to do interviews. He 1:03:11.620 --> 1:03:14.980 wouldn't do a debate. He was afraid of doing a debate. 1:03:15.500 --> 1:03:18.280 He reminded me of Biden at his worst. 1:03:18.830 --> 1:03:19.350 Wow. 1:03:19.630 --> 1:03:22.810 There's just nothing going on there in his head. And 1:03:22.890 --> 1:03:25.910 I thought this is this is the guy we're going 1:03:25.930 --> 1:03:27.820 to we're going to elect. This is the guy that 1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.940 President Trump thought, you know, they should push out Massey 1:03:31.240 --> 1:03:35.380 for him. I mean, I did. It was really depressing 1:03:35.460 --> 1:03:38.940 because we can't vote for. Well, I don't say everybody, 1:03:38.980 --> 1:03:43.270 but I'm not comfortable voting for the Democratic candidate. There's 1:03:43.310 --> 1:03:47.890 a libertarian guy I like. I think he seems pretty sharp, 1:03:48.330 --> 1:03:52.990 but his name is Jeremy Todd, and he calls our 1:03:53.030 --> 1:03:55.370 buddy Gal Ryan. He said he's a puppet. He's a 1:03:55.450 --> 1:03:57.810 wet blanket in a suit, which I thought was a 1:03:57.890 --> 1:04:02.510 great analogy. But I couldn't believe it, Dan, that Gal 1:04:02.550 --> 1:04:05.560 Ryan couldn't answer a simple question and had to walk 1:04:05.620 --> 1:04:06.120 away from it. 1:04:06.140 --> 1:04:09.900 Well, that's disappointing to hear that. And I hear Cunningham 1:04:09.920 --> 1:04:12.580 talk about Gal Ryan all the time, and he's talked 1:04:12.600 --> 1:04:15.890 about how he's tried to get him on his show. Apparently, 1:04:16.700 --> 1:04:20.780 whenever there's an event going on, I guess he's on 1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:23.940 the farm and he just wants to keep to himself. 1:04:24.700 --> 1:04:29.850 Maybe that's his personality. I don't know much about Gowron 1:04:29.870 --> 1:04:34.420 at all, but it's very disappointing to hear you relate 1:04:35.220 --> 1:04:36.370 that encounter you had with him. 1:04:37.400 --> 1:04:41.040 Oh, yeah, because you would say, you know, Biden basically, 1:04:41.680 --> 1:04:45.240 once he got the nomination, he did, they called it 1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:48.810 the basement campaign, right? He just basically stayed in his basement. 1:04:49.170 --> 1:04:52.090 Goldrine will show up to things because, like, President Trump 1:04:52.110 --> 1:04:54.650 was there. He had to show up. He talked for about, 1:04:54.670 --> 1:04:57.250 you know, a minute and a half and then sat 1:04:57.290 --> 1:05:01.770 back down. But is that the best Kentucky can do? 1:05:01.790 --> 1:05:02.590 I don't know. 1:05:04.010 --> 1:05:07.440 Well, that's a little disappointing. Did you see the— Did 1:05:07.480 --> 1:05:09.560 you see the pictures that Trisha Mackey put out? I 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:13.480 did not. Yeah, she got to do one of the 1:05:13.540 --> 1:05:17.120 anchor interviews with Trump. You know where Trump stands there 1:05:17.160 --> 1:05:19.750 and the anchor gets to spend like seven or eight 1:05:19.790 --> 1:05:25.490 minutes with the president and ask a few questions. She 1:05:25.530 --> 1:05:28.670 put out a bunch of pictures where she's trying to 1:05:28.710 --> 1:05:30.280 make herself look taller than Trump. 1:05:30.800 --> 1:05:31.980 Oh, that's funny. 1:05:32.000 --> 1:05:34.930 She had these pictures taken from you know, a low 1:05:35.070 --> 1:05:38.220 angle and behind her and the way, you know, I mean, 1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:40.300 you know how all that works, the way a photo 1:05:40.340 --> 1:05:40.920 gets framed. 1:05:40.940 --> 1:05:41.959 Sure, sure, sure. 1:05:42.000 --> 1:05:44.470 You can make someone look taller than the other person. 1:05:45.290 --> 1:05:48.530 But look on her social media. That's the kind of. 1:05:48.510 --> 1:05:49.050 Stuff that she put out. 1:05:49.090 --> 1:05:49.610 I will, I will. 1:05:50.340 --> 1:05:52.090 Now, Dan, I have to tell you something else that 1:05:52.130 --> 1:05:53.370 I realized when I was there. 1:05:53.550 --> 1:05:53.850 Okay. 1:05:54.270 --> 1:05:57.690 We talked about 5,000 people being there, but the bigger 1:05:57.830 --> 1:06:00.900 story was the people who were not there. And I'm 1:06:00.920 --> 1:06:03.460 going to give you two really interesting examples. 1:06:03.480 --> 1:06:03.760 Okay. 1:06:03.900 --> 1:06:04.320 I met an. 1:06:04.520 --> 1:06:08.990 Awesome woman who's a teacher. Her name is Kathleen. And 1:06:09.190 --> 1:06:12.490 she's been a huge Trump supporter. She thinks he's the 1:06:12.530 --> 1:06:15.850 best president since Reagan. She's been a Republican her whole life. 1:06:16.230 --> 1:06:19.630 She married a guy who was also a Republican his 1:06:19.670 --> 1:06:23.490 whole life. He's a teacher as well. And Kathleen came 1:06:23.530 --> 1:06:25.640 to the rally because she wanted to see President Trump 1:06:25.680 --> 1:06:29.660 in person. Her husband, Bob, woke up that morning and 1:06:29.700 --> 1:06:31.800 he said, you know what? I hate to do this 1:06:31.860 --> 1:06:36.110 to you. I'm going to the No Kings protests. He 1:06:36.160 --> 1:06:38.960 voted for Trump in 2016, but he told his wife, 1:06:39.020 --> 1:06:42.140 he said, you know what, I'm conservative, but I think 1:06:42.160 --> 1:06:44.980 a communist would be better than what we've got right now. 1:06:46.080 --> 1:06:49.570 So that's how angry a lot of Republicans are about 1:06:49.610 --> 1:06:52.390 what's going on in Iran, what's going on with the 1:06:52.510 --> 1:06:55.750 Epstein files, what's going on with inflation. And here's a 1:06:55.790 --> 1:06:58.270 guy who's been a Republican his whole life who went 1:06:58.310 --> 1:07:01.300 to a No Kings protest in downtown Cincinnati and let 1:07:01.320 --> 1:07:03.560 his wife go see President Trump by herself. 1:07:04.860 --> 1:07:07.240 So she went without him. She went without him. 1:07:09.710 --> 1:07:12.700 And she said, I wish he was here, but she 1:07:12.740 --> 1:07:15.939 said he's so disenfranchised with the way everything has gone 1:07:15.980 --> 1:07:18.780 in the last year. And then there was another case 1:07:18.800 --> 1:07:21.800 that's even closer to home, one of my top Thomas 1:07:21.860 --> 1:07:25.340 More students. I'm not going to say his name because 1:07:25.360 --> 1:07:28.550 he didn't want his name put out there, but he 1:07:28.610 --> 1:07:33.190 was at the Hebron rally. He's a huge Republican, a 1:07:33.330 --> 1:07:36.810 big fan of Trump, was a big fan of President Trump. 1:07:37.290 --> 1:07:41.220 And he said, Trump betrayed us. He's sick of everything, too. 1:07:41.280 --> 1:07:44.460 He's angry with gas prices. There are a million things 1:07:44.500 --> 1:07:47.680 he doesn't like. And he didn't go. Because I called 1:07:47.720 --> 1:07:49.600 a bunch of my students as I said you were going. 1:07:49.680 --> 1:07:51.790 I was the only one who went. When I went 1:07:51.830 --> 1:07:54.390 to see President Trump in March in Hebron, there were 1:07:54.410 --> 1:07:58.330 probably 15 Thomas More students there. I was the only 1:07:58.390 --> 1:08:01.360 guy from Thomas More that I saw in the audience 1:08:01.420 --> 1:08:05.000 this time. And so I think that's very telling. I 1:08:05.020 --> 1:08:09.240 don't know if that's mostly about Trump or mostly about Gall, 1:08:09.260 --> 1:08:10.200 Ryan and Barr. 1:08:11.860 --> 1:08:14.780 I mean, I've heard a lot of anecdotal stories like that. 1:08:15.740 --> 1:08:21.880 I'm a little still trying to get my head around 1:08:22.300 --> 1:08:25.760 because I know. I know a lot of people, people, 1:08:25.780 --> 1:08:27.920 I'm a Trump supporter. I know a lot of people 1:08:27.960 --> 1:08:33.870 who are Trump supporters. And we have criticisms of some 1:08:33.890 --> 1:08:37.750 of the things he does or the whole notion that 1:08:37.770 --> 1:08:41.340 he's going to send $ 5, 000 out to every American if 1:08:41.360 --> 1:08:44.019 the Republicans win. I guess he's still saying that on 1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:44.980 the campaign trail. 1:08:45.180 --> 1:08:47.380 He said that on the campaign trail, and that got 1:08:47.420 --> 1:08:49.200 his largest applause of the day. 1:08:49.360 --> 1:08:53.400 Yeah, and so there are people I know who are 1:08:53.780 --> 1:08:57.280 critical of things like that, things that he does. But 1:08:57.340 --> 1:09:00.690 I haven't heard of any– who got to the point 1:09:01.229 --> 1:09:03.990 to where they said, I'm so mad at Trump that 1:09:04.050 --> 1:09:07.410 I'm going to actually go forward to an anti-Trump rally, 1:09:07.880 --> 1:09:09.570 to a no-kings rally. 1:09:09.600 --> 1:09:10.400 To a no-kings rally. 1:09:10.520 --> 1:09:13.280 I couldn't believe it. That's the first time I've heard 1:09:13.300 --> 1:09:15.700 a story like that. And because it's coming from you, 1:09:15.800 --> 1:09:18.300 I'm going to believe it because I think there's a 1:09:18.340 --> 1:09:21.710 lot of people out there. And I think the DNC 1:09:21.770 --> 1:09:25.040 and the left, I think they put out a lot 1:09:25.080 --> 1:09:28.439 of stories. Whenever I hear someone say, well, I'm a 1:09:28.479 --> 1:09:31.200 Republican and I voted for Trump two times, but this 1:09:31.260 --> 1:09:38.200 time enough is enough. Normally my default position is that 1:09:38.260 --> 1:09:41.440 these stories are made up, they're not true, and they're 1:09:41.460 --> 1:09:47.990 only trying to convince certain people that Trump is losing 1:09:48.030 --> 1:09:48.470 his base. 1:09:51.260 --> 1:09:53.700 Well, and I will tell you, you know, I there 1:09:53.720 --> 1:09:55.599 was a time in my life when I voted for 1:09:55.640 --> 1:09:58.560 Gary Johnson because I was a libertarian. And then when 1:09:58.760 --> 1:10:01.820 President Trump ran in 2016, I said, he's my guy. 1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:05.309 I had met him years and years earlier in New 1:10:05.350 --> 1:10:08.429 York when I was a Fox Entertainment guy. I've heard 1:10:08.610 --> 1:10:12.070 nothing but great things from anybody who's actually in his 1:10:12.110 --> 1:10:16.080 inner circle. I have the utmost respect for President Trump 1:10:16.140 --> 1:10:18.400 and love him. And that's the thing that is bumming 1:10:18.439 --> 1:10:21.099 me out, because I will probably go in that darn 1:10:21.150 --> 1:10:24.230 booth and think about voting for Gahlrein, even though he 1:10:24.710 --> 1:10:27.450 he completely disrespected me and walked away and looked afraid 1:10:27.490 --> 1:10:30.880 to answer a question. But I respect President Trump. And 1:10:30.900 --> 1:10:33.880 that's what when I talked to that Kathleen woman who, 1:10:33.900 --> 1:10:36.480 you know, at one point she said my first campaign 1:10:36.500 --> 1:10:39.300 was for Barry Goldwater. I mean, she's as Republican as 1:10:39.340 --> 1:10:41.860 you can get. And she married this guy who's been 1:10:41.920 --> 1:10:44.620 Republican his whole life. And here he was at a 1:10:44.680 --> 1:10:48.120 no kings protest. So that that has me a little worried, Dan. 1:10:48.350 --> 1:10:53.310 Yeah, well, you know, I think people get overwhelmed with 1:10:53.370 --> 1:10:56.290 everything that they with everything they see and hear and 1:10:56.350 --> 1:10:59.639 read and. And and I'm not and I'm not sitting 1:10:59.660 --> 1:11:02.720 here trying to say that, you know, the realities that 1:11:02.960 --> 1:11:04.680 you have in your own life or when you got 1:11:04.700 --> 1:11:06.320 to pay for groceries and you got to pay for 1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:08.860 gas and the heating bills are through the roof and 1:11:08.880 --> 1:11:11.700 all the rest of that. I'm not saying those things 1:11:11.760 --> 1:11:14.200 are not real because they are real. I mean, I 1:11:14.240 --> 1:11:19.260 live those things, too. But I also look at the 1:11:19.300 --> 1:11:23.200 reality and I see things there's there's a lot of 1:11:23.600 --> 1:11:26.680 things when you talk about policy wise. that are going 1:11:26.720 --> 1:11:28.580 to go the right way for this country and things 1:11:28.620 --> 1:11:32.979 are going to pay off. I think in big ways, five, seven, 1:11:32.979 --> 1:11:35.800 10 years down the road from now. So I look 1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:38.120 at that and I think all the things that are 1:11:38.160 --> 1:11:43.430 causing economic hardships right now are, are, are things that 1:11:43.630 --> 1:11:47.070 are temporary. And I think that it, and I think 1:11:47.150 --> 1:11:49.430 all those things are going to go away and we're 1:11:49.450 --> 1:11:53.010 going to have an economic resurgence in this country that we, 1:11:53.410 --> 1:11:55.570 so that we haven't seen in a long time. So, 1:11:56.370 --> 1:11:59.550 I think it's a little premature to bail and jump 1:11:59.590 --> 1:12:06.040 ship on Trump and the Trump agenda. And I think 1:12:06.080 --> 1:12:07.540 there's a lot of blame to go around. I think 1:12:07.600 --> 1:12:12.100 there's a lot of cowards in the Republican Party who 1:12:12.140 --> 1:12:16.950 are in Washington right now that, for whatever reason, don't 1:12:17.030 --> 1:12:18.810 want to put the pedal to the metal when it 1:12:18.850 --> 1:12:22.990 comes to the Trump agenda. And I think that is 1:12:23.030 --> 1:12:24.410 something that is certain things as well. 1:12:25.740 --> 1:12:28.260 The other thing that President Trump said that was so true, 1:12:28.850 --> 1:12:30.650 and one of the other guys that I talked to 1:12:30.689 --> 1:12:33.910 was a guy from Fort Thomas who's a retiree. And 1:12:33.950 --> 1:12:36.990 he said, you know, the problem is nobody wants to 1:12:37.050 --> 1:12:41.280 admit that Trump has had any success in the first 1:12:41.320 --> 1:12:43.680 term or the second term. And the media certainly hasn't 1:12:43.720 --> 1:12:46.500 done anything to tout any of the great things that 1:12:46.520 --> 1:12:50.560 have happened. Um, and that's, that's, that's really coming to 1:12:50.600 --> 1:12:53.180 bite him in the behind too, is that, you know, 1:12:53.200 --> 1:12:55.720 cause he gets zero help from the media. I was 1:12:55.820 --> 1:12:59.240 at that rally when he won in 2016 and he 1:12:59.280 --> 1:13:00.800 came to, I forget the name of it now. It 1:13:00.860 --> 1:13:03.880 used to be called us bank arena. Um, the one 1:13:03.920 --> 1:13:05.470 downtown next to the red stadium. 1:13:05.620 --> 1:13:05.890 Yeah. 1:13:05.900 --> 1:13:08.190 I think, I think it's heritage bank arena now. 1:13:08.530 --> 1:13:08.889 I don't know. 1:13:09.250 --> 1:13:10.510 I changed his name a lot. 1:13:11.120 --> 1:13:13.640 Yeah, he came to Heritage, and I'll never forget it. 1:13:13.680 --> 1:13:15.840 I was with Paul Kunkel, who's a great friend of mine, 1:13:15.860 --> 1:13:19.340 who you may know, captain of Newport Police, retired now, 1:13:19.760 --> 1:13:23.050 really good guy. And we were there, and we were 1:13:23.050 --> 1:13:27.750 20 feet away from President Trump, and he spent probably 1:13:27.750 --> 1:13:32.490 10 minutes mocking the media, saying, ha-ha, I won anyway. 1:13:32.550 --> 1:13:35.770 He got the entire crowd of a lot bigger crowd there, 1:13:35.810 --> 1:13:39.610 probably 20,000 people, to boo the press. And a friend 1:13:39.630 --> 1:13:41.870 of mine who travels with the press said that he 1:13:41.930 --> 1:13:46.460 did that every stop on that tour. And, you know, 1:13:46.660 --> 1:13:49.200 press are human like everybody else. But that kind of 1:13:49.560 --> 1:13:54.200 handcuffed him before he even started his first term, much 1:13:54.280 --> 1:13:57.040 less the second, that if he does something great, you're 1:13:57.100 --> 1:14:00.689 never going to hear about it. So that's the problem. 1:14:02.930 --> 1:14:07.110 That's true. And I guess when you put it like that, 1:14:08.170 --> 1:14:12.790 there's maybe a way of thinking that he's probably bringing 1:14:12.810 --> 1:14:15.900 a lot of it on himself. And that's, I think, 1:14:15.920 --> 1:14:18.559 the one thing that I know that's frustrating for me 1:14:19.280 --> 1:14:23.780 is the unforced errors. There have been so many unforced 1:14:23.860 --> 1:14:26.559 errors with this administration. I still think there's a lot 1:14:26.600 --> 1:14:31.080 of good things that uh... that that trump does with uh... 1:14:31.100 --> 1:14:33.520 the different executive orders in the policies and all the 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:35.120 rest of it but uh. 1:14:35.680 --> 1:14:35.760 uh. 1:14:35.820 --> 1:14:39.340 the unforced errors uh... just don't need to happen. 1:14:39.960 --> 1:14:42.900 Well anyway it was sad because here we are the 1:14:42.970 --> 1:14:45.200 first time a president has come to campbell county and 1:14:45.229 --> 1:14:48.490 god knows when and it that place should have been 1:14:48.550 --> 1:14:51.050 packed just for people to say i can be in 1:14:51.110 --> 1:14:54.030 the same room with the president of the united states 1:14:54.490 --> 1:14:56.490 And people couldn't take time out of their day to 1:14:57.010 --> 1:15:03.620 go see a sitting president who survived assassination attacks, who's 1:15:03.700 --> 1:15:07.939 lived a God-fearing way and raised great kids and done 1:15:08.000 --> 1:15:10.140 so many things for the country. Just to be in 1:15:10.180 --> 1:15:12.740 the same room with him is a thrill. And I 1:15:13.020 --> 1:15:16.270 don't know how anybody could have not been there, but 1:15:16.510 --> 1:15:19.050 I'm worried that by the, by the turnout, by the 1:15:19.090 --> 1:15:22.530 people I talked to, um, the, you know, there's some 1:15:22.570 --> 1:15:24.210 crumbling happening in the, in the base. 1:15:24.610 --> 1:15:27.860 Yeah. I remember I was not a, a fan of 1:15:27.880 --> 1:15:30.540 Bill Clinton, but when I had the chance to, uh, 1:15:30.620 --> 1:15:34.220 to go and, uh, cover a, uh, a speech that 1:15:34.240 --> 1:15:38.280 he made at, uh, Xavier university, I went and I was, uh, 1:15:38.979 --> 1:15:41.320 I was, I was pretty, it was to watch him 1:15:41.820 --> 1:15:46.680 want to watch Bill Clinton, uh, work that room. And 1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:51.020 the way he held that crowd during the speech he 1:15:51.060 --> 1:15:55.290 made was– I'm glad I saw it in person because 1:15:55.350 --> 1:16:00.690 it was the confirmation of all these skills that I 1:16:00.710 --> 1:16:03.370 had heard about that maybe don't translate all that great 1:16:03.410 --> 1:16:06.889 on TV. But to see it happen in person and 1:16:08.410 --> 1:16:11.170 be there and witness that, I mean, it'll be something 1:16:11.229 --> 1:16:11.729 I'll never forget. 1:16:12.760 --> 1:16:13.140 Oh, you're right. 1:16:13.320 --> 1:16:14.040 Well, and it was funny. 1:16:14.380 --> 1:16:17.030 I was part of the people that they put behind 1:16:17.050 --> 1:16:24.059 the president. And you could see no teleprompter. The teleprompter 1:16:24.100 --> 1:16:27.860 was up. It was not on. He talked for almost 1:16:27.900 --> 1:16:32.320 an hour and a half without notes. Um, he is 1:16:32.400 --> 1:16:36.110 as sharp as a tax still as he was in 2016, 1:16:36.110 --> 1:16:37.189 10 years later or 10. 1:16:37.189 --> 1:16:37.669 Yeah. 1:16:38.229 --> 1:16:41.010 And, um, so that's an, it's an impressive thing to 1:16:41.050 --> 1:16:44.570 watch somebody who can carry an audience who can be funny, um, 1:16:44.610 --> 1:16:47.830 who can say witty things, um, who can speak from 1:16:47.870 --> 1:16:51.600 the heart. Um, he's, he's incredible in person. 1:16:52.000 --> 1:16:52.280 All right. 1:16:52.380 --> 1:16:53.559 Yeah. Yeah. 1:16:53.760 --> 1:16:55.599 Steve, we're going to have to leave it there. We're 1:16:55.620 --> 1:16:58.280 up against the clock, my friend. And, uh, as always, 1:16:58.300 --> 1:17:01.389 I appreciate you taking the time and, Next time we'll 1:17:01.430 --> 1:17:02.570 talk about movies or something. 1:17:02.590 --> 1:17:02.849 All right? 1:17:03.270 --> 1:17:04.170 Awesome. I'd love that. 1:17:04.330 --> 1:17:04.979 I appreciate it. 1:17:05.020 --> 1:17:07.140 Steve Oldfield, all the best to you, my friend. We'll 1:17:07.180 --> 1:17:10.220 talk to you again soon. And I always appreciate him 1:17:10.260 --> 1:17:13.980 being here. A little late for a break, 10.56 at 1:17:13.979 --> 1:17:15.550 700 WLW. 1:17:16.070 --> 1:17:19.210 In this edition of the Marketer's Report, Heather Sparks, head 1:17:19.229 --> 1:17:22.560 of content at Zenith, discusses the power of radio hosts. 1:17:23.420 --> 1:17:27.130 I actually think DJs were the original influencers. You invited 1:17:27.170 --> 1:17:29.299 them into your home. You invited them into your ear. 1:17:29.310 --> 1:17:31.790 You built a relationship with them. You understood and trusted 1:17:31.830 --> 1:17:33.390 the things that were interesting to them. 1:17:33.650 --> 1:17:36.880 As the number one audio company, iHeartMedia connects marketers to 1:17:36.910 --> 1:17:41.019 the audiences, live conversations, and trusted influencers you need to grow. 1:17:41.340 --> 1:17:44.320 If you're a marketer, go to iHeartAdvertising.com. 1:17:45.520 --> 1:17:48.240 Men, when addressing the problem of erectile dysfunction, you want 1:17:48.280 --> 1:17:51.470 the right treatment for your specific medical situation because every 1:17:51.530 --> 1:17:52.250 case is different. 1:17:52.310 --> 1:17:52.610 And find. 1:17:52.610 --> 1:18:00.760 700 WLW 1107. Dan Carroll till midnight tonight. It's the nightcap. 1:18:01.060 --> 1:18:04.719 Not with Gary Jeff Walker. He was in for Cunningham today. 1:18:08.880 --> 1:18:11.840 Got the ATN Kevin Gordon coming up at midnight tonight. 1:18:13.340 --> 1:18:19.360 And it's over in Tampa Bay. Cleveland is out. Tampa 1:18:19.380 --> 1:18:22.500 Bay is going to the World Series. What, uh, what 1:18:22.540 --> 1:18:24.559 was the final there? Drew seven, four, I think was 1:18:24.580 --> 1:18:29.000 the final seven, three. So, uh, Tampa Bay is in 1:18:30.580 --> 1:18:32.979 and they will face Milwaukee. I believe the series starts 1:18:33.040 --> 1:18:38.090 in Milwaukee and, uh, I was, I was talking to 1:18:38.110 --> 1:18:40.510 drew about this during the break, but it was not 1:18:40.510 --> 1:18:45.809 that long ago that you couldn't get two or three 1:18:45.850 --> 1:18:47.870 hundred people to show up at a Tampa Bay game. 1:18:49.350 --> 1:18:52.910 And I've heard Tracy Jones talk about this. I've only 1:18:52.950 --> 1:18:54.830 seen it from the outside. I've never been in there. 1:18:55.729 --> 1:18:57.980 But it is really one of the worst stadiums in 1:18:58.810 --> 1:19:02.140 Major League Baseball, if not the worst. I think Tracy 1:19:02.180 --> 1:19:05.480 Jones said it was the worst. But that is one 1:19:05.540 --> 1:19:11.220 ugly place. From the outside, it's horrendous. I've driven past 1:19:11.280 --> 1:19:15.540 it many times. But Cleveland is out. Tampa Bay is in. 1:19:16.420 --> 1:19:19.920 So there you go. Front lines are open. 1:19:19.939 --> 1:19:20.280 513-749-7000. 1:19:20.300 --> 1:19:20.680 1-800-THE-BIG-ONE. 1:19:20.700 --> 1:19:26.420 I'm looking at this story from Fox News. And they're 1:19:26.439 --> 1:19:33.450 talking about the WNBA. Drew, without cheating, without looking, can 1:19:33.470 --> 1:19:36.630 you tell me who's in the finals of the WNBA 1:19:38.130 --> 1:19:42.700 championship game? Is it Golden State in Atlanta? Now, how 1:19:42.740 --> 1:19:47.130 did you know that? I'm very aware, sportsperson Dan. I 1:19:47.189 --> 1:19:47.750 know you are. 1:19:49.030 --> 1:19:52.229 I don't watch, but I see, you know, I'm on 1:19:52.310 --> 1:19:53.290 social media. 1:19:53.030 --> 1:19:55.490 And I see it. I could have never pulled that 1:19:55.550 --> 1:19:58.729 out of my hat. But I'm looking at this story 1:19:58.770 --> 1:20:02.970 from Fox News. And so you got Golden State and 1:20:04.600 --> 1:20:08.160 the Valkyries, the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries. 1:20:09.910 --> 1:20:13.330 And so they got the finals going on tonight and 1:20:14.970 --> 1:20:17.429 they're going to have the singing of the national anthem. 1:20:18.810 --> 1:20:22.570 So moments before the singing of the national anthem starts, 1:20:22.910 --> 1:20:26.889 the young ladies on both of those teams run off 1:20:26.950 --> 1:20:34.660 the floor. Then the national anthem is performed. And then 1:20:35.280 --> 1:20:38.800 once it's over, the women on the team run back 1:20:38.939 --> 1:20:42.820 on the floor. They don't want to be out there 1:20:42.840 --> 1:20:48.580 during the national anthem. I guess in a way it's 1:20:48.660 --> 1:20:53.020 good that they go off the floor because we don't 1:20:53.040 --> 1:20:58.660 have to see video of them disrespecting the flag of 1:20:58.680 --> 1:21:07.700 the United States. But are these women who play basketball 1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:13.710 for the WNBA Are they just the stupidest people ever? 1:21:13.729 --> 1:21:18.309 I mean, don't they know? And I know they had 1:21:18.350 --> 1:21:21.190 the big, you know, you had, I guess, what, what's 1:21:21.229 --> 1:21:24.460 her name? Angel Reese. It did all the talk shows 1:21:24.520 --> 1:21:26.260 talking about, I don't, I don't, I don't know if 1:21:26.300 --> 1:21:31.720 they avoided a work stoppage or whatever the case may be, 1:21:31.760 --> 1:21:33.760 but she was all complaining about all, we got to 1:21:33.800 --> 1:21:35.540 get our money. We got to get paid. We got 1:21:35.560 --> 1:21:35.860 to get this. 1:21:35.880 --> 1:21:36.400 We're going to get. 1:21:40.490 --> 1:21:43.050 Don't they know that they would have so much more 1:21:46.410 --> 1:21:52.000 if they would just, I mean, stop with the stupidness. 1:21:53.460 --> 1:21:55.979 Stop with all the woke stuff. Stop with all the 1:21:57.140 --> 1:22:00.670 hating on Caitlin Clark. Stop with all the running off 1:22:00.710 --> 1:22:07.580 the floor before the national anthem. It just seems to me, 1:22:07.640 --> 1:22:16.720 and the WNBA only exists because of the NBA. And 1:22:16.740 --> 1:22:19.349 if I was a commissioner of the NBA, I'd go 1:22:19.360 --> 1:22:22.910 in there and lay down the law. Because they still 1:22:22.950 --> 1:22:31.550 take a loss on it. But you've got the one 1:22:31.689 --> 1:22:35.019 thing that put you on the map. And all they 1:22:35.040 --> 1:22:39.360 can do is hate on her. It doesn't make any sense. 1:22:40.220 --> 1:22:47.019 Just stupid. 513-749-7100, the big one. So we talked a 1:22:47.040 --> 1:22:49.360 little bit earlier tonight about what is happening in France. 1:22:50.360 --> 1:22:53.320 And Trump was on his way to the big rally 1:22:53.360 --> 1:22:59.000 tonight in Kansas. And he was asked about France before 1:22:59.080 --> 1:23:01.800 he got on the plane. And he boiled it down 1:23:02.260 --> 1:23:04.980 in only the way that he can. And with that, Drew, 1:23:05.000 --> 1:23:06.139 let's hear cut number three, please. 1:23:06.680 --> 1:23:09.560 Well, the France thing is a very sad situation, what's 1:23:09.600 --> 1:23:13.110 happening in France. Because what's happening in France has to 1:23:13.150 --> 1:23:16.969 do with immigration, not schools, not anything. 1:23:17.390 --> 1:23:18.270 It's immigration. 1:23:18.370 --> 1:23:22.490 And I told President Macron, close up your borders. I 1:23:22.530 --> 1:23:24.940 told him the first time I met him, which was 1:23:25.020 --> 1:23:28.299 years ago in my first term, close up your borders. 1:23:28.320 --> 1:23:29.620 You're going to have nothing but trouble. 1:23:30.020 --> 1:23:32.759 And they've got a lot of trouble. They let people 1:23:32.840 --> 1:23:35.340 into their country that don't love their country. They don't 1:23:35.360 --> 1:23:38.930 love their buildings. They don't love their art. And I said, 1:23:38.970 --> 1:23:41.849 the first time I met Macron, I said, you got 1:23:41.870 --> 1:23:45.929 to close up your borders. You're going to ruin your country. 1:23:46.189 --> 1:23:49.250 And they've ruined their country. It's going to be hard 1:23:49.290 --> 1:23:51.190 to get it back, but hopefully France. 1:23:50.970 --> 1:23:51.570 Will come back. 1:23:52.770 --> 1:23:57.780 So there's Trump boiling it all down to unchecked immigration. 1:24:00.120 --> 1:24:02.550 And I don't know what the status on legal or 1:24:02.630 --> 1:24:10.970 illegals is in France. But they're having a hard time 1:24:11.010 --> 1:24:16.820 with it. And the Federalist put out a good piece 1:24:16.900 --> 1:24:17.460 on this today. 1:24:19.240 --> 1:24:20.100 And M.D. 1:24:20.140 --> 1:24:24.460 Kittle and the Federalist writes, As France burns, a Washington, 1:24:24.479 --> 1:24:28.090 D.C.-based government watchdog is sending out an Election Day warning 1:24:29.710 --> 1:24:33.070 about the designs of the Red-Green Alliance, which is something 1:24:33.110 --> 1:24:36.340 that we've talked about many times before on this show. 1:24:37.660 --> 1:24:41.220 The unlikely and unholy marriage between Marxists and Islamists is 1:24:41.260 --> 1:24:45.420 now devouring France under the guise of student discontent. Make 1:24:45.460 --> 1:24:50.769 no mistake, the young, as they often are, serve as 1:24:50.820 --> 1:24:55.310 the useful idiots of a revolution fueled by leftist money 1:24:56.250 --> 1:25:01.550 and global infantile manpower. The bedlam is the natural outcrop 1:25:01.600 --> 1:25:06.810 of mass migration into progressive European countries. Now bearing the 1:25:06.850 --> 1:25:11.950 weight of radical Islam and an army of socialist revolutionaries 1:25:12.030 --> 1:25:16.500 preaching from the river to the sea. Thanks to the 1:25:16.540 --> 1:25:19.940 decades of open door immigration policies that exploded during the 1:25:20.020 --> 1:25:23.760 auto pen presidency of Joe Biden, the torches are being 1:25:23.820 --> 1:25:29.470 trained on the United States too. The Red-Green Alliance is 1:25:29.510 --> 1:25:32.720 the most dangerous partnership in American politics, and the radical 1:25:32.760 --> 1:25:34.880 left is proud to be part of it. Mike Davis, 1:25:34.960 --> 1:25:38.439 founder of the Article III Project, said in a press 1:25:38.479 --> 1:25:42.820 release late last week, Communists want your country. Islamists want 1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:46.720 your faith. They hate America. And they figured out they're 1:25:46.780 --> 1:25:54.630 stronger when they march together. Davis previously clerked for Supreme 1:25:54.670 --> 1:25:58.729 Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. and served as an aide to 1:25:58.830 --> 1:26:05.290 Senator Charles Grassley, announced the leftist lawfare fighting Article 3 project, 1:26:06.229 --> 1:26:10.250 will release a daily ad through next month's midterm spelling 1:26:10.310 --> 1:26:16.060 out the dangers of the red and green partnership. Red 1:26:16.100 --> 1:26:23.470 means communist, green means Islamist. Perhaps one of the more 1:26:23.530 --> 1:26:26.410 obtuse headlines that greeted the readers on Sunday came from 1:26:26.450 --> 1:26:31.730 the New York Times. France in shock after protests turn 1:26:31.770 --> 1:26:37.660 into riots, damaging buildings and shops. CNN posted a close 1:26:37.700 --> 1:26:40.259 second over the weekend when it reported that French President 1:26:40.280 --> 1:26:44.439 Emmanuel Macron pledged to hold accountable those who sought to 1:26:44.479 --> 1:26:49.160 bring down the Republic. Macron addressed the nation Sunday evening 1:26:49.229 --> 1:26:52.800 as communities reeled from One of the most violent nights 1:26:52.840 --> 1:26:58.560 of unrest in recent years after largely peaceful anti-government protests 1:26:58.600 --> 1:27:04.540 descended into rioting, leaving government buildings torched, one police officer 1:27:04.580 --> 1:27:12.720 and one protester dead. Fiery but mostly peaceful. Where have 1:27:12.760 --> 1:27:19.060 we heard that before? Same thing we heard when Wisconsin 1:27:20.020 --> 1:27:26.049 A city in Wisconsin was burning in 2020. This isn't unrest. 1:27:26.120 --> 1:27:31.610 It's a Marxist-driven revolution, aided and abetted by jihadists. Not 1:27:31.670 --> 1:27:34.850 much of it is peaceful. Not surprisingly, more violence and 1:27:34.890 --> 1:27:43.760 mayhem follow all by design. You've probably seen the one 1:27:43.860 --> 1:27:47.580 clip that has gone viral out of all of this. 1:27:49.380 --> 1:27:52.620 A woman standing outside a Paris grocery store screaming at 1:27:52.660 --> 1:28:01.360 the rioters as they loot through her store. She says, stop. 1:28:01.400 --> 1:28:04.640 Why are you doing this? The woman pleads with the 1:28:04.700 --> 1:28:10.380 young thugs. This isn't the cause. They push her aside. 1:28:10.420 --> 1:28:18.380 The video shows looters hauling out bags of goods. They're 1:28:18.400 --> 1:28:22.620 having a good time. And this is a woman who 1:28:23.520 --> 1:28:29.820 supported all the things that led to her store being 1:28:29.820 --> 1:28:37.450 looted and ruined by by these protesters, these criminal thugs. 1:28:39.830 --> 1:28:45.340 And the same thing is happening here. And so when it, 1:28:45.439 --> 1:28:47.900 when I, you know, I see these folks, uh, in, 1:28:48.040 --> 1:28:52.059 in my neighborhood, they're out there, they're, they're doing this 1:28:52.140 --> 1:28:56.220 all the time, couple of times a week, no Kings, anti-fascist, 1:28:56.300 --> 1:29:02.969 all the rest of it. I really think they won't 1:29:03.050 --> 1:29:08.259 be happy until we have similar scenes playing out on 1:29:08.310 --> 1:29:13.740 our streets. And I just really hope it doesn't happen. 1:29:15.320 --> 1:29:20.559 And that means we cannot be electing people like Abdul 1:29:20.600 --> 1:29:25.690 Syed in Michigan. I've been saying for weeks now that 1:29:25.740 --> 1:29:32.969 everything coming out of his mouth is a lie. A 1:29:33.270 --> 1:29:38.610 great piece in Hot Air about El-Sayed back in 2018 1:29:38.610 --> 1:29:43.100 when he was running for governor of the Wolverine State. 1:29:44.040 --> 1:29:49.360 He was asked several times about why he was named 1:29:50.100 --> 1:29:54.769 what he is named. And this is the way he 1:29:54.890 --> 1:29:59.030 answered it. Drew, let's hear cut number, what cut is that? 1:29:59.470 --> 1:30:00.250 This is cut number two. 1:30:02.570 --> 1:30:03.950 Funny story about how I became Abdul. 1:30:03.990 --> 1:30:07.620 So my whole name is actually Abdul Rahman, which is 1:30:07.979 --> 1:30:12.420 about as intimidating as it sounds in English. And my 1:30:12.479 --> 1:30:16.400 parents got divorced right after they had me and both remarried. 1:30:16.740 --> 1:30:19.599 I was raised by my father and my stepmom. And 1:30:19.600 --> 1:30:21.130 1989 rolls around and I'm about. 1:30:21.010 --> 1:30:21.710 To start kindergarten. 1:30:22.229 --> 1:30:24.850 And my stepmom looks at my dad and is like, 1:30:25.210 --> 1:30:27.510 kid's not gonna make it a day with that name. 1:30:29.700 --> 1:30:32.940 So they sort of cast about looking for a new thing. 1:30:33.120 --> 1:30:37.460 And it turns out that 1989, in September, guess who's 1:30:37.500 --> 1:30:38.139 topping the charts? 1:30:40.240 --> 1:30:41.219 Straight up now, baby. 1:30:42.810 --> 1:30:45.910 It's Paula Abdul with Straight Up. And so at that point, 1:30:45.930 --> 1:30:47.430 they're like, this is his name. It's going to be 1:30:47.450 --> 1:30:48.370 Abdul from here on out. 1:30:50.970 --> 1:30:53.830 So that was El-Said in 2018. 1:30:53.830 --> 1:30:54.000 And.... 1:30:58.260 --> 1:31:04.560 In Red State, Dwayne Patterson writes, in 1984, Abdul Rahman 1:31:04.600 --> 1:31:09.330 Mohammed El-Said was born to Mohammed El-Said, an Egyptian politician 1:31:09.390 --> 1:31:15.570 asylum seeker who had held leadership positions both in the 1:31:15.689 --> 1:31:20.560 Council on American Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of 1:31:20.640 --> 1:31:27.719 North America. Both entities were unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy 1:31:27.760 --> 1:31:31.810 Land Foundation terrorism suit that busted up $ 12 million being 1:31:31.860 --> 1:31:40.009 funneled to Hamas to kill Jews. El-Said's mother, Fatin El-Khemi, 1:31:41.050 --> 1:31:44.390 who began working for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during 1:31:44.430 --> 1:31:48.240 her collegiate years before expanding that mission work in the 1:31:48.300 --> 1:31:52.880 United States to provide funding to Osama bin Laden and 1:31:53.060 --> 1:31:58.540 al-Qaeda as well as to Hamas. Well, why does this matter? 1:32:00.040 --> 1:32:06.760 Both parents are deeply anti-Semitic. So he said, you know, 1:32:06.820 --> 1:32:10.860 Paul Abdul was topping the charts. And that's how he 1:32:10.890 --> 1:32:13.290 got the name that he has now. Paul Abdul burned 1:32:13.390 --> 1:32:18.590 in 1962 as a Syrian Jew. She had her bar 1:32:18.610 --> 1:32:24.620 mitzvah in 2013. Or she had her, yeah. Well, this 1:32:24.640 --> 1:32:25.080 doesn't make sense. 1:32:25.160 --> 1:32:25.280 In 2013. 1:32:25.260 --> 1:32:31.640 In 1984. She was one of the Laker girls in 1:32:31.660 --> 1:32:42.270 the fabulous forum in Englewood, California. Let's see. So, so, so, 1:32:42.490 --> 1:32:50.430 so this guy, so over the years, hold on, let 1:32:50.450 --> 1:32:52.710 me get, let me back up here a second. So she, 1:32:52.910 --> 1:33:00.120 she was born in 1962 as a Syrian Jew. In 1984, 1:33:00.120 --> 1:33:03.770 she was a Laker girl. And this was, you know, 1:33:03.870 --> 1:33:08.390 Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Michael Cooper, that whole 1:33:09.430 --> 1:33:21.939 group right there. The El-Said family back in 1984 probably 1:33:21.979 --> 1:33:26.620 had no idea who she was. because it wasn't until 1:33:26.900 --> 1:33:30.240 young El-Sayed was four years old that Paula's debut album 1:33:30.280 --> 1:33:35.410 was released, sparking her first number one hit. And the 1:33:35.450 --> 1:33:40.110 chance that this Jew-hating mom and dad named him after 1:33:40.170 --> 1:33:44.570 an unknown Jewish girl is absurd. Over the years, he 1:33:44.610 --> 1:33:47.220 morphed the meaning of his name into being a servant leader. 1:33:48.680 --> 1:33:53.080 That's closer, but still disingenuous. His name, Abdulrahman Muhammad El-Sayed, 1:33:53.280 --> 1:33:58.530 literally translates to to servant of the prophet Muhammad, the master. 1:33:59.850 --> 1:34:05.860 He had to tone that down for public consumption. All 1:34:05.880 --> 1:34:09.120 of the lies, the remnants of the Iranian regime tell 1:34:09.160 --> 1:34:18.389 the most consistent is that the, I'm reading the wrong 1:34:18.430 --> 1:34:24.540 story now, but anyway, the bottom line is is that 1:34:24.860 --> 1:34:30.980 this story about him being named after Paula Abdul by 1:34:31.020 --> 1:34:36.460 a couple of parents who hate Jews. And Paula Abdul, 1:34:36.640 --> 1:34:45.519 born in 1962, is a Syrian Jew. So I've been 1:34:45.560 --> 1:34:48.810 saying the guy's been lying about everything, and it certainly 1:34:48.850 --> 1:34:52.470 looks like he's lying about this as well, just about 1:34:52.510 --> 1:34:55.590 his name. And then, of course, he dances around the 1:34:55.630 --> 1:35:01.750 subject of his family connections to these terrorist organizations as well. 1:35:03.770 --> 1:35:05.719 And I pretty much butchered the reading of that story. 1:35:06.080 --> 1:35:09.400 So we have that to go on, too. This is 1:35:09.479 --> 1:35:12.519 one of those nights. It is 1125. We'll get to 1:35:12.560 --> 1:35:14.040 a break. A little news at the bottom of the hour. 1:35:14.520 --> 1:35:15.900 If you want to get on board, 513-749-7000. 1-800-THE-BIG-ONE as 1:35:15.920 --> 1:35:17.000 we roll on until midnight tonight on 700-WLW. 1:35:22.720 --> 1:35:26.210 You spend hours raking the leaves from your yard only 1:35:26.250 --> 1:35:30.070 to have to rake them again and again and again. 1:35:30.510 --> 1:35:33.639 If only all the leaves could fall at once. Well, 1:35:33.680 --> 1:35:39.220 now they can. Call Tree Shakers. our specialized staff of 1:35:39.400 --> 1:35:43.660 ex-nfl linemen sumo wrestlers and women's shot putters can shake 1:35:43.700 --> 1:35:48.530 your trees bare in minutes freeing up your fall tree 1:35:48.570 --> 1:35:52.870 shakers toss the rake and give it a shake tree 1:35:52.890 --> 1:35:56.150 shakers a sponsor of the talkback button on the iheart 1:35:56.189 --> 1:35:59.030 radio app. 1:35:59.010 --> 1:36:04.229 Could you use a hand 700. 1:36:06.410 --> 1:36:13.750 WLW 1136. Dan Carroll till midnight tonight. It's the nightcap. 1:36:14.270 --> 1:36:16.010 Gary Jeff's got the night off. He was in for 1:36:16.050 --> 1:36:22.850 Cunningham earlier today. So we got lectured by Obama over 1:36:22.900 --> 1:36:31.260 the weekend. He's not happy with the investigation into Ilhan Omar. He, uh, 1:36:31.900 --> 1:36:35.280 put on his, I guess he's got the X feed, right? 1:36:35.320 --> 1:36:38.740 He's got an X account. He wrote this. It is 1:36:38.800 --> 1:36:43.219 a basic principle of American democracy that the government can't 1:36:43.580 --> 1:36:48.809 selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or 1:36:48.860 --> 1:36:53.150 what they say, Obama said. But that's exactly what the 1:36:53.189 --> 1:36:57.070 Trump administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, really. 1:36:59.280 --> 1:37:05.400 No crime there whatsoever? They took it to a judge, 1:37:05.820 --> 1:37:13.519 a Democrat-appointed judge, who found sufficient evidence to issue a 1:37:13.560 --> 1:37:20.600 warrant to have her home searched. And Town Hall wrote 1:37:20.650 --> 1:37:23.670 about this, seeming lost on Obama when he released that statement. 1:37:26.120 --> 1:37:29.580 was the litany of activities his administration took to target 1:37:29.620 --> 1:37:33.120 conservatives and the Trump campaign when he was in power. 1:37:34.640 --> 1:37:37.660 While progressives attempt to pretend that the only scandal from 1:37:37.680 --> 1:37:40.980 the Obama era was his choice to wear a tan suit, 1:37:42.240 --> 1:37:45.979 in reality, the administration made the decision to turn the 1:37:46.040 --> 1:37:52.320 power of government against its political enemies. We all remember 1:37:52.360 --> 1:37:58.270 the IRS targeting conservative groups over their tax-exempt status so 1:37:58.350 --> 1:38:02.150 ruthlessly that the agency was eventually forced to release an apology. 1:38:03.970 --> 1:38:08.530 People inside the Obama administration manufactured the false Russia collusion 1:38:08.570 --> 1:38:14.890 hoax and the Steele dossier, which led to an FBI 1:38:14.930 --> 1:38:21.290 official pleading guilty to inserting fake information into e-mails in 1:38:21.370 --> 1:38:24.560 order to get a surveillance warrant against the Trump campaign. 1:38:26.900 --> 1:38:31.180 And who remembers when Trump talked about, uh, Obama was 1:38:31.220 --> 1:38:34.860 spying on him and his administration. The surveillance continued into 1:38:34.900 --> 1:38:43.729 the beginning of the first Trump administration. Obama continued, the 1:38:43.770 --> 1:38:47.050 fact that any president or administration is willing to engage 1:38:47.070 --> 1:38:51.070 in in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should be 1:38:51.110 --> 1:38:59.410 an outrage to all Americans. But now you've got Democrats 1:38:59.750 --> 1:39:05.680 openly admitting that they intend to use their power to 1:39:05.740 --> 1:39:15.510 intimidate young conservatives. This is Alyssa Slotkin. And she really, 1:39:15.650 --> 1:39:19.490 I mean, no one really knew who she was until 1:39:19.670 --> 1:39:25.349 they put that video out suggesting, and you remember the video, 1:39:25.410 --> 1:39:31.170 we talked about it many times on the show. The 1:39:31.210 --> 1:39:36.010 video was her and a bunch of other Democrats suggesting, 1:39:37.210 --> 1:39:40.010 telling troops that they don't have to follow unlawful orders, 1:39:41.010 --> 1:39:46.720 suggesting that Trump was giving orders to our troops that 1:39:46.760 --> 1:39:50.340 were unlawful. And, of course, when they were asked to 1:39:50.400 --> 1:39:54.440 name one, well, of course, they couldn't. So that's how 1:39:54.520 --> 1:39:56.059 she pretty much got. 1:39:55.880 --> 1:39:56.400 Her name in. 1:39:56.439 --> 1:39:59.880 She's been riding that wave ever since that happened. And, man, 1:39:59.900 --> 1:40:04.780 that was a while ago. But here's Slotkin talking at, 1:40:04.880 --> 1:40:08.780 I believe, the University of Chicago over the weekend, talking 1:40:08.850 --> 1:40:12.689 about what she wants to do. And what her Democrat 1:40:12.750 --> 1:40:15.850 friends want to do to any young person who would 1:40:15.890 --> 1:40:20.750 even think about working for the Trump administration. And Drew, 1:40:20.770 --> 1:40:21.950 let's hear cut number four, please. 1:40:26.720 --> 1:40:29.880 Senator Slotkin, a Democrat, she says she wants there to 1:40:29.920 --> 1:40:30.960 be prosecutions. 1:40:31.300 --> 1:40:34.360 That's okay, that's okay, let it run. Yeah, my bad, 1:40:34.460 --> 1:40:35.200 I asked for the wrong. 1:40:35.280 --> 1:40:38.439 Senator Slotkin, a Democrat, she says she wants there to 1:40:38.479 --> 1:40:42.940 be prosecutions of Republicans to scare young conservatives going into office. 1:40:43.060 --> 1:40:45.059 I know, I know. What's your message? 1:40:45.670 --> 1:40:50.650 So Slotkin said that there should be prosecutions in order 1:40:50.710 --> 1:40:55.590 to scare people from going into politics that's a democrat 1:40:55.670 --> 1:40:57.610 and that's what they do that's all they're good at 1:40:57.710 --> 1:41:00.540 and you know what that's why they're getting their asses. 1:41:00.240 --> 1:41:05.740 Kicked so there's trump uh making an instant classic out 1:41:05.760 --> 1:41:08.660 of this but here's what slotkin said and that's my 1:41:08.700 --> 1:41:10.150 fault i asked you to play this in the wrong 1:41:10.229 --> 1:41:12.570 order but uh drew let's hear cut number one please. 1:41:12.610 --> 1:41:13.440 So that's what I'm saying. 1:41:13.560 --> 1:41:16.380 I want to look at these signature cases and not 1:41:16.540 --> 1:41:19.180 just focus on the president, but on the people who 1:41:19.240 --> 1:41:22.420 enabled him. I want young people coming out of school 1:41:22.500 --> 1:41:24.860 to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? 1:41:24.900 --> 1:41:25.690 Like, that sounds fun. 1:41:25.729 --> 1:41:28.809 I might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord, 1:41:28.990 --> 1:41:32.430 that might be buying myself a ton of problems that 1:41:32.530 --> 1:41:36.230 I don't want. And so let me avoid participating in that. 1:41:36.610 --> 1:41:38.400 I want that deterrence message. 1:41:39.540 --> 1:41:45.120 Yeah, so that's what she's saying. And she said, I mean, 1:41:45.260 --> 1:41:47.820 it couldn't be any more clear. She wants young people 1:41:47.900 --> 1:41:51.280 coming out of school who might have an opportunity with 1:41:51.300 --> 1:41:56.860 the Trump administration to think twice about it. For simply 1:41:57.000 --> 1:42:05.770 working for the administration of a duly elected president. She 1:42:05.790 --> 1:42:07.970 wants them to think, well, I might be buying myself 1:42:08.050 --> 1:42:10.930 a ton of problems if I go to work for them. 1:42:13.570 --> 1:42:18.110 And so she's trying to intimidate people from working for 1:42:18.150 --> 1:42:24.479 the Trump administration. Is she targeting people just because of 1:42:26.460 --> 1:42:28.160 the fact that they choose to go to work for 1:42:28.180 --> 1:42:32.220 the Trump administration? Does that have anything to do with 1:42:32.260 --> 1:42:39.250 their political beliefs? So another example in a long line 1:42:39.290 --> 1:42:49.050 of examples of hypocrisy from, uh, from the less, uh, 1:42:49.070 --> 1:42:55.299 Mike Johnson says that, uh, the polls are wrong. Everything 1:42:55.340 --> 1:42:59.180 that we hear about the polls, uh, showing that the 1:42:59.220 --> 1:43:01.639 Democrats are going to have a big night on election 1:43:01.680 --> 1:43:08.479 night in November. Uh, CNN was talking about it. Uh, 1:43:08.540 --> 1:43:12.850 Harry Enten is the guy that You see him in 1:43:12.910 --> 1:43:15.169 front of their big board all the time, breaking down 1:43:15.970 --> 1:43:18.450 all the polling and election news. Guy does a pretty 1:43:18.490 --> 1:43:23.980 good job. Right now, I can't think of anything that 1:43:23.990 --> 1:43:27.360 CNN does well, but they actually do these pretty well 1:43:28.320 --> 1:43:33.360 when they're breaking down the polls, explaining what the numbers 1:43:33.420 --> 1:43:38.960 really mean and what to look at. So this guy's 1:43:39.000 --> 1:43:42.840 got a warning for the Democrats. And with that, Drew, 1:43:42.860 --> 1:43:44.050 let's hear cut number five, please. 1:43:46.560 --> 1:43:49.560 This to me is the big siren warning sign for 1:43:49.620 --> 1:43:52.650 Democrats right here, because I know you feel like it's 1:43:52.729 --> 1:43:55.750 Lucy in the football. You've seen yourselves ahead before, and 1:43:55.770 --> 1:43:58.490 then election day, the votes are cast and counted, and 1:43:58.510 --> 1:44:01.290 the Republicans come out ahead. So let's just say, in fact, 1:44:01.310 --> 1:44:04.210 we get this average error rate, and it goes, and 1:44:04.229 --> 1:44:06.290 the Republicans outperform. 1:44:05.710 --> 1:44:07.010 Their polls yet again. 1:44:07.189 --> 1:44:11.099 This is what we're talking about. Okay, the 2026 Senate map, 1:44:11.280 --> 1:44:14.420 if in fact Republicans outperform the averages by 3.75 points, 1:44:15.600 --> 1:44:17.380 Look at this. This is the key nugget on your 1:44:17.420 --> 1:44:20.560 bottom right of the screen. Republicans would get 52 seats. 1:44:20.840 --> 1:44:24.360 Democrats would get 48. Republicans would easily maintain control of 1:44:24.380 --> 1:44:24.620 the U.S. 1:44:24.650 --> 1:44:24.849 House. 1:44:25.100 --> 1:44:27.430 They'd win up here in Maine. They'd win in Michigan. 1:44:27.710 --> 1:44:30.589 They'd win down here in Texas. They'd win in Kansas. 1:44:30.830 --> 1:44:33.710 They'd win in Iowa. And they'd also win when I'm 1:44:33.729 --> 1:44:35.269 going to come over to Sarah's side of the screen 1:44:35.310 --> 1:44:37.729 right here. They'd win in Alaska as well. So the 1:44:37.810 --> 1:44:40.350 bottom line is this. We have a few weeks to 1:44:40.370 --> 1:44:42.750 go left in this campaign. The polling has been tight. 1:44:43.350 --> 1:44:46.470 It's Democrats are able to get the polls to match results. 1:44:46.710 --> 1:44:47.729 Hey, they get a majority. 1:44:47.970 --> 1:44:50.550 But I think we've seen this story a little bit before. 1:44:50.810 --> 1:44:52.929 And that is why this Senate map is still way 1:44:52.950 --> 1:44:55.930 too close to call Republicans very much in the ballgame. 1:44:57.510 --> 1:45:00.349 So he was showing that and he was showing, you know, 1:45:00.410 --> 1:45:02.980 all the blue states and the red states and what 1:45:02.990 --> 1:45:04.920 you couldn't see because you're listening to it on the 1:45:04.939 --> 1:45:09.500 radio is that when he's when he's showing his map there, 1:45:11.290 --> 1:45:16.890 The one state that he's got in the blue is Ohio. 1:45:21.180 --> 1:45:27.660 That can't happen. Sherrod Brown cannot be the senator again 1:45:27.700 --> 1:45:36.960 from Ohio. I mean, that guy has been around. I mean, 1:45:37.220 --> 1:45:43.090 he's had his time. So the idea that he may 1:45:43.170 --> 1:45:50.229 win is just, I just can't stomach that idea. I 1:45:50.270 --> 1:45:54.520 don't know about you, but yeah, the, the map he's got, uh, 1:45:54.620 --> 1:46:01.320 Minnesota and blue. He's got, uh, Oregon and blue. He's got, uh, 1:46:01.439 --> 1:46:06.080 new Mexico and blue. I'm sorry, Arizona, not new Mexico. 1:46:09.080 --> 1:46:19.030 He's got Ohio in blue. That cannot happen. So we'll 1:46:19.050 --> 1:46:23.700 be talking more about that later in the week. I 1:46:23.740 --> 1:46:29.080 talked last week about the debanking scandal. And E.J. Antoni 1:46:29.160 --> 1:46:37.270 from the Heritage Foundation says that it began in Washington, 1:46:37.310 --> 1:46:42.050 not on Wall Street. And again, this is another example 1:46:42.970 --> 1:46:46.710 of They all want to talk about it. Trump is 1:46:46.750 --> 1:46:53.330 the one that's going after his political enemies. There are 1:46:54.070 --> 1:46:59.760 legitimate questions being raised about Ilhan Omar. Let me see 1:46:59.800 --> 1:47:03.440 if I can find it. Tom Homan was talking about 1:47:03.479 --> 1:47:05.540 that this weekend. Let me see if I can find that. 1:47:06.380 --> 1:47:10.700 But he was talking about Ilhan Omar. If you look 1:47:10.780 --> 1:47:14.750 at the different things that they're investigating. And then there 1:47:14.790 --> 1:47:19.220 was a report on Fox News talking about her husband's 1:47:19.300 --> 1:47:24.180 wine business, right? One day they're worth $ 30 million, then 1:47:25.000 --> 1:47:27.240 a week or two later they're worth just maybe a 1:47:27.300 --> 1:47:33.490 few thousand dollars. And Fox News had this story about 1:47:33.510 --> 1:47:38.410 the wine business that her and her husband were involved in. 1:47:39.290 --> 1:47:43.610 And it was Comer from Kentucky. who was saying that, uh, 1:47:44.010 --> 1:47:47.049 that the wine business he had, they were selling people 1:47:47.110 --> 1:47:50.390 barrels of wine, but the wine, the barrels were empty. 1:47:51.270 --> 1:48:00.170 That's a new twist that I, uh, that I had not, uh, 1:48:01.460 --> 1:48:04.860 that I had not heard before, but Tom Homan was 1:48:04.880 --> 1:48:13.140 talking about this over the weekend. He said, um, Ilhan 1:48:13.240 --> 1:48:16.890 Omar could be denaturalized and deported if investigators find that 1:48:16.930 --> 1:48:20.820 she committed immigration fraud. He said, of course, if you 1:48:20.880 --> 1:48:24.120 lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to 1:48:24.220 --> 1:48:28.950 denaturalize somebody. He said, we've done it before, and certainly 1:48:29.030 --> 1:48:33.090 if the evidence points that way, it could happen. He said, 1:48:33.250 --> 1:48:35.870 Omar will be held to the same standard as you 1:48:36.010 --> 1:48:41.410 and I. And how many times do we hear her 1:48:41.560 --> 1:48:46.340 and her friends and all those on the left talk 1:48:46.380 --> 1:48:49.200 about what? No one is above the law. And Ilhan 1:48:49.260 --> 1:48:54.540 Omar should not be above the law either. Has anyone 1:48:54.580 --> 1:48:55.340 seen her lately? 1:48:55.360 --> 1:48:55.920 Has anyone? 1:48:55.939 --> 1:48:59.769 I think she should be keeping a very low profile. 1:49:02.710 --> 1:49:09.070 But E.J. Antoni writes that the office of the Comptroller 1:49:09.110 --> 1:49:12.889 of the currency, the OCC, has confirmed what conservatives have 1:49:12.930 --> 1:49:16.229 said for years. The OCC's 47-page report that came out 1:49:17.000 --> 1:49:24.440 Wednesday after reviewing 100,000 complaints and 50,000 internal bank records 1:49:25.640 --> 1:49:31.890 found that between 2020 and 2025, the nation's nine largest 1:49:32.170 --> 1:49:38.370 national banks denied service to Americans because of their political, social, 1:49:38.550 --> 1:49:45.820 or religious beliefs. The details are ugly. JP Morgan's WePay 1:49:46.600 --> 1:49:51.080 payment unit closed the account of a merchant selling mega-themed merchandise, 1:49:52.500 --> 1:49:57.470 and its screening system flagged phrases like America First. It 1:49:57.510 --> 1:50:01.009 shut down a religious nonprofit because the Southern Poverty Law 1:50:01.050 --> 1:50:05.030 Center since indicted on a federal charge, has branded it 1:50:05.210 --> 1:50:09.309 a hate group. PNC refused a line of credit to 1:50:09.350 --> 1:50:13.790 a media company because one owner's foundation had funded Christian 1:50:13.830 --> 1:50:19.290 conservative groups. Banks also choked off financing to entire lawful 1:50:19.350 --> 1:50:24.729 industries like firearm, coal, Arctic oil, gas, private prisons, tobacco. 1:50:26.520 --> 1:50:28.920 While the instinct is to blame the banks, a different 1:50:28.960 --> 1:50:35.890 culprit emerges in the report's details. Banks feared negative press, protests, 1:50:35.950 --> 1:50:42.290 and organized activist criticism. But the greatest fear was reprisals 1:50:42.330 --> 1:50:47.460 from regulators and politicians because they can actually shut down 1:50:47.520 --> 1:50:55.500 a financial institution. A Wells Fargo review of prospective firearms 1:50:55.560 --> 1:50:59.770 clients was blunt. Under the Biden administration, banks could face 1:50:59.870 --> 1:51:05.860 greater supervisory pressure to move away from lending to firearms industry. 1:51:06.750 --> 1:51:11.589 Another bank dropped private prison clients, citing changing policymaker attitudes, 1:51:12.890 --> 1:51:15.790 then tried to win one back just months into the 1:51:15.830 --> 1:51:23.000 Trump administration. Those aren't actions of institutions pursuing an ideological crusade, 1:51:23.840 --> 1:51:28.300 but of business reading the weather in Washington. That's the 1:51:28.340 --> 1:51:34.970 real scandal of the OCC report. Banks don't operate in 1:51:34.979 --> 1:51:37.870 a free market so much as under the permanent supervision 1:51:37.970 --> 1:51:43.790 of federal examiners who can downgrade their ratings, initiate expensive investigations, 1:51:43.890 --> 1:51:49.590 and impose costly enforcement actions. For years, those examiners graded 1:51:49.650 --> 1:51:54.190 banks on reputational risk, a category with no financial definition 1:51:54.250 --> 1:51:59.490 or objective yardstick. While a loan defaulting is a pass 1:51:59.550 --> 1:52:03.730 or fail course, Reputational risk is whatever a regulator wants 1:52:03.790 --> 1:52:11.019 it to be, with no financial impact required. A deposit 1:52:11.060 --> 1:52:14.300 account for a pro-life ministry poses no inherent danger to 1:52:14.340 --> 1:52:17.340 a bank's balance sheet, neither does a loan to a 1:52:17.400 --> 1:52:22.320 firearms manufacturer or payment services for a conservative think tank. 1:52:23.200 --> 1:52:26.980 But when the regulators who effectively control your fate hate 1:52:27.060 --> 1:52:31.640 those groups, a threatening phone call from the government can 1:52:31.700 --> 1:52:39.540 result in debanking. And that's what the report says. Started 1:52:39.600 --> 1:52:44.910 in Washington, not on Wall Street. And this was, I 1:52:45.970 --> 1:52:48.310 talked about this last week when that report first came out. 1:52:50.490 --> 1:52:54.910 The Biden administration saying, we don't like these groups, make 1:52:54.930 --> 1:52:57.550 their life a living hell, at least as far as 1:52:57.590 --> 1:53:00.139 the bank is concerned. Larry on the West side, what's 1:53:00.180 --> 1:53:00.840 going on tonight? 1:53:02.060 --> 1:53:07.300 Well, I wanted to say that Trump's son, Donald Jr., 1:53:08.280 --> 1:53:11.220 he turned around and admitted, and he brought it up 1:53:11.260 --> 1:53:14.570 the first time. I think that probably started the investigation 1:53:15.550 --> 1:53:19.769 that all of a sudden the entire Trump organization was 1:53:19.970 --> 1:53:22.769 ineligible to keep banking with the Bank of America, for 1:53:22.810 --> 1:53:25.160 which they had a 20- or 30-year relationship. 1:53:25.860 --> 1:53:30.790 You know, I have a vague memory of that. about, uh, the, uh, 1:53:30.930 --> 1:53:34.050 Donald Trump jr. Talking about, uh, them being debunked. 1:53:35.450 --> 1:53:37.970 That was the very, very first thing where it started 1:53:38.010 --> 1:53:41.330 popping up in the news, what had apparently been going on, 1:53:41.370 --> 1:53:45.470 but nobody else had a spotlight on them or a 1:53:45.510 --> 1:53:47.750 microphone on them loud enough to turn around and make 1:53:47.790 --> 1:53:48.190 the point. 1:53:49.770 --> 1:53:53.570 So, so is it an interesting though, how we constantly 1:53:53.610 --> 1:53:55.640 hear from the, from these folks, you know, Trump is 1:53:55.650 --> 1:53:58.049 the one who wants to be a dictator. Trump is 1:53:58.060 --> 1:54:00.570 the one who's breaking the law. Trump is the one 1:54:00.610 --> 1:54:04.270 who's taken all our rights away from us. And every 1:54:04.330 --> 1:54:07.750 time you turn around, there's more and more information coming 1:54:08.110 --> 1:54:11.100 out about what the Obama administration and what the Biden 1:54:11.140 --> 1:54:16.640 administration did. I mean, really, just the most corrupt, thoroughly 1:54:16.700 --> 1:54:18.440 corrupt administrations I've ever seen. 1:54:19.580 --> 1:54:23.050 The biggest real thing is that Trump had enough money 1:54:23.090 --> 1:54:26.270 that he couldn't be bribed or bought. That's what they 1:54:26.290 --> 1:54:27.130 got all mad about. 1:54:27.570 --> 1:54:28.130 Absolutely. 1:54:28.150 --> 1:54:31.469 But when you take away your business and your whole 1:54:31.510 --> 1:54:34.570 mode of income and everything, that'll turn around and that'll 1:54:34.600 --> 1:54:35.410 stir up some crap. 1:54:35.570 --> 1:54:38.040 Yeah, well, and Obama did it with the IRS, too, 1:54:38.080 --> 1:54:41.500 when there were conservative groups that were trying to get 1:54:41.520 --> 1:54:44.440 tax-exempt status. Larry, we got to run. I appreciate the 1:54:44.480 --> 1:54:48.120 phone call tonight. Appreciate you being there, as always. That's 1:54:48.180 --> 1:54:50.440 it for me. I'm out of here. Drew, Wes, or Heidi, 1:54:50.460 --> 1:54:53.440 thank you for everything. Have yourselves a great night. ATN, 1:54:53.500 --> 1:54:55.650 Kevin Gordon, coming up next.
