WEBVTT - Ken Broo Saturday -- 12/13/25 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.720 On news radio seven hundred w Welwue. It is upon us. 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:10.240 I mean, this is some biblical stuff that's happening. It 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.720 is falling from the sky as we speak. It is 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:17.160 white death. And I'll tell you, I know we're in trouble. Now, 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.120 I know we're in big trouble. Now go find toilet 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.160 paper at Kroger. It's an interesting reaction we have here 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.560 in Cincinnati to snow falling. Maybe it's the fact that 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:28.880 the streets don't get cleared as quickly as they short, 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:30.880 or maybe it's the fact that drivers don't drive the 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.600 way they should have. Maybe a lot of reasons. But 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.720 the minute we see things falling from the sky like 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:41.960 Uncle Randy's dandruff, we tend to panic. And my guess is, 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.519 somewhere out there right now, hopefully not you, there are 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:49.480 people with white knuckled grips on their steering wheels. All 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.080 I can tell you is this, remain calm. Everything is fine. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.560 I'm in charge pending the Vice President's return. And welcome 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.240 to another Saturday afternoon. A lot of pertinent things going on, 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.480 not just the way. We have uce basketball coming up. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.440 Airtime is at one thirty. That's what we lead into 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.800 and maybe today one might just keep one's fingers crossed. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:13.039 Maybe today you see will actually beat a named opponent. 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.480 They're in Georgia to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. You'll 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.160 hear all the play by play action Dan Horde and 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.440 Terry Nelson. A lot of things that are percolating around 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.920 the world today, like this Venezuela stuff. Have you heard 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:31.120 about this Venezuela stuff. Trump's blowing up boats. They're drug boats, 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.320 they's cigar boats. Anything that knows anything about boating knows 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.560 that these aren't just some guys out on the high 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.800 seas look into cast a line and catch some grouper. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.960 So he's been blowing up these boats. The Democrats are 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.880 all upset about it, not because they care about Venezuelan 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.160 fishermen or even drug cartels in Venezuela. They just want 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.440 something that can get Trump, because that's all they've really 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.880 been about since twenty fifteen. Get Trump, Stop Trump, Orange 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.120 Man bad. So we got Venezuela and boats, we got 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.920 seizing of Venezuela and oil tanker to mix in with 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.400 other things like rounding up gang members MS thirteen gang members. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.520 That infuriates Democrats, not really, it's just another reason to 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.880 get Trump. It's kind of like the Jeffrey Epstein Files. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.680 There's more things in there about Democrats than Republicans. I mean, 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.000 there's only so many rakes you can step on and 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.040 hit your groin with before it starts to hurt. But nevertheless, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.880 they're on Trump about this Venezuelan drug war and how 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.680 he wants to take out Maduro and could there be 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.800 a chance that we, as the United States people that 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.520 represent us, you know, the CIA, coelt whatever it may be, 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.520 actually go into Venezuela and take out Medora, who of 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:51.480 course operates at the behest of the drug kings in Venezuela. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.240 Joshua Phillip is about to join us. You say, ken, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.240 who is Joshua Philip. It's one of the great investigative 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.640 reporters of our time. He works for The Times and 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.880 Epic Times TV, has produced many, many different documentaries. He's 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.560 got a new one that's out. We'll talk about that 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.520 in just a second. But Joshua Philip is somebody that 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.400 knows exactly what's going on in South America and what 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.560 this Venezuelan government is up to. So I've asked him 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.880 to join us here on this day to talk more 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.239 about that, and he's kind enough to give us some time. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.320 And Joshua Philip, how are you on this glorious. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.960 Saturday doing well? 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.760 An interesting step to watch, I can say. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.160 That absolutely more than interesting. What do you think Trump 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.600 is up to in Venezuela. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.440 So I predicted it and then it came out the 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.560 new National Security Plan and Secretary of warp Tex have 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.400 set it publicly. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:42.680 Now. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.640 This is about the re establishment of the of the 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:50.600 Monroe doctrine. And I think we saw the examples of 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.480 this because you know it started after blowing up the 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.320 drug cartel boats. There's more context to that. Actually that 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.800 actually ties into Venezuela having been on the cusp of 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.240 invading Guyana just literally a couple months when they started 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.760 bombing those boats. The latest one, though, is the intercept 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.720 of this Iranian oil tanker that was violating sanctions and 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.000 trading in oil. And so I think what you're seeing 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:19.080 now is they're not just going after like Venezuelan drugs, 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.839 They're going after the core parts of the Venezuelan unofficial 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:28.560 economy and what really matters. In the new National Security Plan, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.159 they've announced that the Trump administration will once again be 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.359 enforcing them in row doctor, which means Latin America, no 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:41.040 foreign countries involved if you're not there, so Europe, China, Russia, Iran, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.440 no involvement in Latin America. And the interesting thing with 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.120 Venezuela is that Venezuela under sorry Hugo Java is and 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.080 now Maduro being of course Javas is pick was he 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.520 hand picked him. Chavez actually was the one, working with 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.479 Fidel Castro on Cuba who pushed the United States out 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.920 of the read And the way they did it was 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.880 they established regional like pseudo powers like organizations of states 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.960 that did not involve the United States or Canada. So really, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.800 toppling what Venezuela has come to represent in Latin America 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.479 would be the very first step necessary to re establish 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:18.640 the Monroe doctrine. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.400 Right. The Monroe doctrine has been around for over two 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.400 hundred years, so named after President James Monroe, who basically 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.720 told the rest of the world, look, if you're thinking 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.560 about colonizing any of the Americas, forget about it. This 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.680 is not your territory. Okay, got that, But I still 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.120 don't know what Trump's endgame is with all of this 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:39.839 is what is his endgame. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.000 The endgame I think is power shift in power. And 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.159 you know what's really interesting with Venezuela and Maduro. Even 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.080 the Biden administration had this policy and I should built 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.400 the National Security Plan. I mean huge bipartisan support. It's 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.719 probably going to get past. In fact, Democrat Demopupkins in 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.800 the House joined pretty heavily to pass it. Even when 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.360 Biden was president, they were talking about power change in Venezuela. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.440 They said publicly they did not recognize him as the 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.839 official leader of the country. They said, he's the leader 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.880 of the Cartel of the Suns, which is a terrorist organization, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.760 which means that they could justifiably do a target strike 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.520 or you know, navy seals. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.240 Rate or something and kill him. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.120 And there's also a government in waiting for Venezuela, which 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.000 both Trump and Biden have acknowledged. In fact, the transition 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.279 government in waiting. The guy lives in Florida at Sjuanglido, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.599 And you know, it wouldn't mean he'd be in power 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.960 per se, but they have a process already established because 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.680 of again the twenty eighteen elections in Venezuela, mass protests, 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.920 and they believe there's enough popular support for that that 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.799 toppling Maduro would not be a difficult process. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.120 Okay, so Meduro is in power. The only people that 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.000 want Maduro in power right now appear to be Meduro 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.680 and his cronies. But Trump's got something to figure out here. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.279 I think eventually you run out of cigar boats carrying 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.800 drugs to blow up, and eventually there are only so 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.040 many tankers you can seize. So again, what's his endgame 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.400 here is? Is it boots on the ground in Venezuela. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.800 I don't think he has an appetite for that in 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:22.240 Venezuela or anywhere. How does he get Meduro out of power? 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:27.040 How does he stop these cartels who basically run Venezuela 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.880 at the behesta Maduro. How does he get those cartels 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.480 to stop transferring drugs up to the United States? I mean, 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.640 there's got to be some sort of plan here. What's 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:37.320 the endgame? 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.800 I think what they're going to do is they're going 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.320 to either force Maduro to step down or they're going 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.360 to kill him. What Because he's again having designated the 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.000 cartel the SUNS as both a terrorist organization and as 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.480 again the targeted cartel organization right, and with Maduro being 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.680 designated a leader of it and basically head the heads 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.640 of the date and military being deemed leaders of it, 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.880 what you're going to be watching is Maduro is going 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.120 to be treated like Bin Laden. He is the new 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.880 Bin Laden. And we don't have to engage the full 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.160 military to overthrow bin Laden. You just go in there, 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.040 rate him at you know, midnight whatever, shoot him and 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.720 throw them off, and throw him into the ocean like 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.520 you know that that could very likely happen. Trump has 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.160 said publicly that he will not start a war. There 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:25.760 is not going to be a full scale war. But 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.840 Maduro's days are numbered, and it seems he has given 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.960 him a will ultimatum. Step down, You're going to die. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.720 And you know, for better or for worse. People can 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.200 agree with that or not. But but now that he 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:42.240 has designated a terrorist leader, America does have the you know, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.080 the the clearance of say in terms of like war 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:47.920 you know, laws and so on to do that. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.560 You know, I'm just playing through the political ramifications of 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.600 this scenario if it does come to pass. I mean, 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.040 you've got the Democrats right now, uh, exactly where Trump 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000 wants them. They have sided with the narco terrorist squad. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.520 They're embracing MS thirteen gang members. I can't, for the 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.480 life of me believe that that's what they want to do. 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.400 But that's what they want to do. Now, if he 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.840 goes into Venezuela and either the CIA or Navy seals 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.840 take out Maduro, I can't imagine what the Democrats would 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.720 react to there. You can't necessarily, if you're a Democrat, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.880 come out and say, hey, Maduro's our guy. You know this? Yeah, 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:25.959 what is he doing now? 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:26.160 There? 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.720 He can't blow up our guy? 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.160 Right? 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.720 You know I wouldn't do. Okay, this is where I 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.680 think it's going to go. You're going to see the 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.839 media make a stink about it, without a doubt they're 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.400 going to make you know, they're going to be indignant politically. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.000 But I think it's going to come out very quickly 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.079 that this was also Biden's policy. Maybe not kill Maduro, 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.800 but the Biden administration just before the twenty twenty four 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.920 elections was basically saying they're going to do the same thing. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.520 They were talking openly. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.800 About forcing a regime change in Venezuela. Now does that 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:57.880 mean killing him? 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.000 You know, killing Maduro? 0:09:59.200 --> 0:09:59.720 I don't know. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:01.800 But under. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.880 Under the Bide administration that this was also the policy, 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.640 and I think the Trump administration could easily drag that 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:09.439 back out. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.040 And make that case. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.240 But you know, the media these days, they just want 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.160 to they want to scandal, regardless of history, and so 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:21.040 they're going to make a big deal about it, of course, regardless, 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.640 especially right before the midterms. 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:24.280 Yeah. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.560 Yeah, the media these days, particularly those that cover Washington, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.240 d c. Are populated by people who think they are 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.280 the next Carl Bernstein or Bob Woodward, when in essence 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.920 they couldn't find Karl Bernstein or Bob Woodward on a map. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.560 But it does serve another purpose here. If indeed he 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.680 does this, and he goes into Venezuela, it would be 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.040 a warning shot across the bowl of any of these 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.480 South American countries who are in essence run by drug 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:53.440 cartels himself to let's the nonsense is over. Let's let's 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.440 we're not playing that game anymore. So maybe therein is 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:58.679 another aspect of this. 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.440 I think he on that and so on that point, 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.719 Trump as we speak, is also threatening the president of Columbia, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:14.560 and he's even threatening Mexico. And I mean, I don't 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.280 know if you'd go and you know, do targeted strikes 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.640 as the president of Mexico, you know that'd be pretty shocking. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.600 But if you remember when Trump was on the campaign traw, 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.800 he was saying he was going to do this. This 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.560 was part of Trump's campaign promise. And what do you say? 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.240 He did a very long video. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.760 I'm talking it was at least I think fifteen minutes, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.560 but it was very long, and he laid out his 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.600 plan to use the entire US military, every power they had, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:49.600 intelligence networks, US Navy, targeted strikes, airstrikes, special forces, raids, 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.839 all of this, he said to destroy the drug cartels. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.040 He said he was going to do everything we now 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.880 see him being done. And in addition to that, he 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.640 said that if any government tries to stop him, he 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.640 will expose the ties of that government to the cartels, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:09.080 which you know, Maduro is the first example of and 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.320 Trump right now has made that an open threat. And 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.120 the unfortunate part for a lot of those government of 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:16.800 Latin Americas, a lot of them are tied to the 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.120 cartails in one way or another. And if Trump says, hey, 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.800 you know, you know he likes to tell the story 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.800 where he's talking to this like terrorist guy, and he 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.920 shows him a picture of his house, you know, from 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.800 the sky, and he's like, mister Trump, why do you 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.040 show me a picture of my house? He says, well, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.280 you know, you're gonna have to put two and two 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.160 together on that one, you know. But he's basically doing 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.480 the same thing to most of the Latin American governments effectively. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.319 And on that point too, a lot of people say, well, 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.240 didn't Trump just pardon you know, the fore of the 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.880 former presidents. I believe it was his Honduras I believe, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.680 who is also arrested on drug charges. That ties into 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.800 what I said earlier. This is about the re establish 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.080 him to the Monroe doctrine. Part of it is about drugs, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.720 but the bigger context of it is Trump has tried, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:09.280 he is trying to establish loyalist leaders to America within 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.960 the Latin American region to begin again re establishing US 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.440 presents throughout the whole region and then from there dismantling 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.439 criminal networks. Is establishing kind of an American answer to 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.000 the Chinese Belt and Roade initiative, meeting infrastructure projects and 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.240 begin changing the region effectively. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.360 Joshua Philip ark Gass he is the senior investigative reporter 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.320 at the Epic Times, and among other things, he produces 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.400 a lot of documentaries for the Epic Times. You've got 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.520 a brand new one, right, what's this one all about? 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.360 The latest line that is actually on Charlie Kirk and 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.760 how the media framed him. It's called it's called Truth 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.960 under Fire, the Framing of Charlie Kirk. And I've been 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.320 quite I've been quite a few other documentaries. I've even 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.840 of course gone down to gone down to actually Panama, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.440 the Darien Gap to the ember Indian villages, tracked the 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.760 entire migrant flow system and exposed how the United Nations 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.520 has been running it. They have a program called the 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:11.360 Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and something else Migration and 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.480 basically paid for by the State Department. That documentary I 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.200 had is also available on Epic TV. It's called it's 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:20.720 called Weapons of Mass Migration. 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.440 And that debut is when. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.360 That one's already out, as is the Charlie Kirk one, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.560 and you can find those on epictv dot com, epochtv 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:31.160 dot com. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.320 Yeah, where Joshua is also not only a senior investigative 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.800 reporter but also the host of Crossroads, which is a 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:43.080 terrific news and analysis program on EPICTV. Okay, when does 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.880 all of this in Venezuela come to a head? When 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.400 do we get either Maduro out or Trump puts his 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.240 head on a platter. How quickly or how soon does 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.800 all of this play out? In your opinion? 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.000 You know, that's a good question. 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.640 The way Trump is talking, you could say any day now. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.000 There's also the chance if he believes it could harm 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.200 the Republicans during the mid terms there maybe he'll wait 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:09.960 till afterwards, or maybe he'll think it'll be strategically valuable 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.480 to do it before. I think, I actually think opinion 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.040 polls in terms of the media hit pieces Trump blowing up, 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.400 you know, fishing boats, fishing boats by the way, they 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.360 like semi submersibles or like four engine you know, you 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.280 know rocket jets, and you know, of course big engines 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.800 painted blue, so they blend into the ocean and they 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:29.920 have no fishing equipment. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:31.520 But you beside the point. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:36.760 That's modern journalism. I think opinion polls left and form. 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.800 Whether he thinks it's good to do it now or 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:39.280 wait a bit. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:45.200 Yeah, the always unpredictable President Donald J. Trump, the predictable 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.960 Joshua Philip and I will predict that he is working 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:52.800 on his next documentary even as we speak. That's for 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.640 the future. Joshua, for your time today. 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.360 Thank you, We appreciate it always, Thank you so much. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.200 You bet, yep, you bet. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:00.160 So. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.840 It doesn't sound like any of this is going to curtailed. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.440 Trump can't imagine boots on the ground. He doesn't want that, 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:10.360 doesn't believe in it, any campaign, actually against the whole 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.840 thought of the United States going into a foreign country. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.120 But nevertheless, there is something that's at foot here, and 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.600 I think what's at foot is the Ouster of Maduro. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.560 Stay tuned. Like many things, it could all turn on 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.960 a dime. It is now twelve to twenty six, as 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.240 the snow continues to fall, and we all brace, perhaps 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.280 cowering in a corner, wondering if it's going to get 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:38.320 us on seven hundred WLW is just a warning. But tomorrow, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.120 if you're going to the Bengals game, kickoff at one o'clock, 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:46.360 is going to have a temperature of ten degrees ten 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.000 degrees wind show much worse than that. Of course, the 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.640 Ravens turned the ball over what like a million times. No, 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.000 it wasn't that. There it was like five times when 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.840 they met a couple of weeks ago. There's Ravens quarterback 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.000 Lamar Jackson on all of that, and what they have 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.160 to do tomorrow. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.560 Turn over free number one, you know, protecting the ball, uh, 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.080 putting a lot of points on the board. Because we 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:13.520 didn't do that either. We got unfortunately we had to 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.200 didn't happen two more, you know, on top of the 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.280 fourteen we have, but it didn't happen. So I'm looking 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.560 forward to sc go on more points this week. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.600 I don't look forward to it too much, Lamar. You 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.720 know it's twelve forty three, but as you and I 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.360 both know, it's five o'clock. Somewhere. There's one for you. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:36.840 There's one for me. Oh there's there's one for the ages. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:38.800 Pop the top again. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.639 You're smuggling in the good stuff, aren't you today. 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.960 I've just got time for one more round. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:49.160 Set them up, my friend, and then what happens. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:55.000 Then I'll be gone and you can lest some other. 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.720 Pool to sit. Yeah, well we'll see. All I know 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.040 is you see basketball on the horizon beginning at at 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.200 one thirty today. Oh hang on a second, let me 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:13.080 play this for you. Hear this song. This is Ariana 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:19.639 Grande's remake of the Wham Song. Last Christmas. The Wham 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.480 Song wasn't all that great and this thing is a 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:33.000 piece of Yeah, it does have a distinction though. According 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:37.119 to a group called Bader Law, this song is the 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.520 most distracting Christmas song you can have playing in your 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.680 car when you're out on the roadway. It's all about 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.680 beats per minute, and if a song has in excess 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.479 of like one hundred beats per minute, you're in trouble. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:55.719 This one has two hundred and five point nine beats 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.960 permitted and over and above that. It's Ariana Grande singing. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.520 But nevertheless, it is one of the top ten most 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.720 distracting Christmas songs that are out there, and you should 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.000 not be listening to them if you want to stay 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.520 accident free on the highways this holiday season. So a 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.560 lot of other songs on there that are kind of interesting. 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.720 One is Christmas Dream by Perry Como. The other is 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.200 The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.080 But this is the most distracting song that you can 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.720 listen to if you're out on the highways this Christmas season. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.679 So why so and what does it actually do to 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.520 our brain? Well, when it comes to the brain, there's 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.639 no better authority than my next guest. He is doctor 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:43.320 Patrick Porter, expert in brain health and the purveyor of 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:47.639 a group called brain tap dot com. Kind enough to 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.199 give us some time here about driving listening to this 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:51.960 stuff and what it can do to you in your 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.200 car and doctor Porter, how are you on this glorious Saturday. 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:57.560 I'm doing great. It's a great day to be here, 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.159 Yes it is. It's well, it's a great day to 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.879 be anywhere, to be truth about it. Yeah, okay, so 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:06.360 you've seen this report. Do you put any merit into it? Well, yeah, 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.720 I think that there's a few reasons for it. If 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.119 it's faster beats per minute what they're talking about, if 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.000 they get into high beta, they're going to create anxiety, 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.040 mil per, nephrone, cortisol don't mean all these things are 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.320 going to be triggered. And if you don't and then 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.120 you put together you know, a lot of people think 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.920 of the holidays, of course as joyful people, but there's 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.480 more suicides during their holidays than any other time, so 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.040 there's a lot of negatives too. People have a loss, 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.560 they start thinking about things and if your mind gets distracted. 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.480 We have first and second attention. So if you have 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.480 your first attention is you know, driving, let's say, and 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:46.119 their second attention is thinking about all this negative stuff 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.359 that happened during the holidays, and the songs bring up 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.480 a loved one units something like that, and then you 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.639 switch attention and you become less aware of what's going on, 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:01.520 of what going on in the world within your mind, 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:03.920 and your brain can't tell the difference. 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.679 So if all these if all of these Christmas songs 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.159 are doing that, it would stand a reason the eleven 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.040 months out of the year you should not be listening 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.280 to Metallica as you drive a car. Correct. 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.399 Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I mean I wouldn't recommend that 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.800 at any time, but because I've seen what it does, 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.920 I guess when you're working out or you're doing something 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.280 where you want to be just a crazy animal or 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.280 something like that, because my dad used to call it 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.879 zeta brainwaves, you know, because it's just super hyperactive. 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.480 So some people are they. 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.960 You know, with PTSD or something like that. People they 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.840
