WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.719
To welcome to the Nightcap. You're
on seven hundred WLW. I'm Gary,

2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:08.599
Jeff Walker, you or you,
and that's perfectly fine with me. We

3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:16.359
may tend to disagree, but that's
okay. I'm still right. New news

4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.760
today from the Epic Times as we
begin the show, and by the way,

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:26.000
Marian Proctor from the Kentucky State Legislature, I think District sixty will be

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:31.800
with us as our first guest tonight
to talk about certificate of need in northern

7
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.320
If you don't know what that is, I think you'll be kind of and

8
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.640
you're a resident of the Commonwealth,
I think you'll be kind of blind sided

9
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.640
that this kind of monopoly is allowed
to continue in the state of Kentucky.

10
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.159
But anyway, we'll get to that
in a minute. Today from the Epic

11
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.600
Times, a previously hidden transcript of
an interview conducted by a US House of

12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:59.280
Representatives panel that investigated January sixth,
twenty twenty one breach of the US capital

13
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.000
has today been revealed. It undermines
a committee claim. Of course, the

14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:15.000
committee claimed that there was no evidence
whatsoever that President Trump ever offered National guardsmen

15
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.120
to the city of Washington, d
C. For January sixth, when in

16
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.040
fact that did happen. Anthony Ornado, who was the White House Deputy chief

17
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.200
of Staff during the breach, told
the committee that he overheard Mark Meadows,

18
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.319
who was then chief of staff,
on the phone with Washington Mayor Mary ol

19
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.920
Bowser. According to the transcript,
mister Meadows wanted to ensure Miss Bowser had

20
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.799
everything she needed. Mister Meadows wanted
to know if she needed any more guardsmen,

21
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.040
and I remember the number ten thousand
coming up of the President wants to

22
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.799
make sure that you have enough.
He is willing to ask for ten thousand,

23
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.359
the president at the time, of
course being Donald Trump. I remember

24
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.560
that number. Now you said it, it reminded me of it. Miss

25
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:04.719
Bowser said she was all set.
Mister Arnado recalled. He was speaking at

26
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.479
the House Select Committee to investigate the
January sixth attack on the United States Capital.

27
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.560
The committee said in its final report
that had found no evidence supporting the

28
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.960
idea that former Donald Trump. Former
President Donald Trump ordered ten thousand troops to

29
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.639
be ready for January sixth, but
apparently it happened. They've been lying about

30
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.280
it the entire time, including the
committee lying about it. The former j

31
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:35.520
six Select Committee apparently withheld mister Arnado's
critical witness testimony from the American people because

32
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:40.919
it contradicted their predetermined narrative that this
was an insurrection, that President Donald Trump

33
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.960
was trying to overturn the government with
his MAGA supporters. This according to Representative

34
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.400
Barry LAUDERMC. Milk, a Republican
from Georgia, he's the one to release

35
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:58.439
the transcript today. Mister Arnando's testimony
proves that mister Meadows proves what mister Meadows

36
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.800
Mark Meadows had said all along.
President Trump did in fact offer ten thousand

37
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:09.000
National Guard troops to secure the US
capital, which was turned down. Mister

38
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.240
Meadows previously said as many as ten
thousand National Guard troops were told to be

39
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.560
on the ready by the Secretary of
Defense. That was a direct order from

40
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:23.599
President Trump. Trump was all about
security at the US Capitol on January sixth.

41
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:31.439
President Trump on Fox News later said
that he definitely gave the number of

42
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.879
ten thousand National guardsmen and said,
I think you should have ten thousand of

43
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.759
the National Guard ready. The former
Acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher C.

44
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:45.960
Miller told Vanity Fair in a meeting
on January fifth, twenty twenty one,

45
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.199
he told President Trump the Department of
Defense was going to provide any number of

46
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.960
guard personnel that Washington officials requested.
President Trump, according to mister Miller,

47
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.919
responded, You're going to need ten
thousand people. Mister Miller told the Select

48
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.400
Committee that he never knew of any
plans of that nature. So there's the

49
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.840
lying link right there. Christopher Miller, who in an interview January fifth,

50
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:15.439
said that the President had ordered ten
thousand National Guardsmen to be ready in Washington,

51
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.199
DC that day, and he tells
Seluct Committee exactly the opposite. They

52
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:27.639
knew of nothing. The committee highlighted
mister Miller's testimony in its final report.

53
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.959
Again, this is a report from
the Epoch Times today, which is great,

54
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.759
by the way, if you want
real news that's not tainted, but

55
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:40.800
did not mention mister Ornado's testimony,
nor did it include mister Miller's previous quote,

56
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:46.879
mister meadows comment, or President Trump's
remarks. The Pentagon has said that

57
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.560
Miss Bowser asked for guard support for
the January sixth rally on December thirty first,

58
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:57.120
twenty twenty, so a week ahead
of time. Mister Miller and other

59
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:02.319
Defense officials approved the activation of three
hundred forty Guard members two days before January

60
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.399
fourth. The next day, Miss
Bowser confirmed to mister Miller and other officials

61
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.920
that she did not want any additional
Guard personnel to help Washington officers with crowd

62
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:18.279
control or other duties. About one
point thirty on the afternoon of January sixth,

63
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:24.639
Miss Bowser asked for more forces after
demonstrators began moving to the Capitol.

64
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:31.199
So you want to know who's responsible
for the debacle of January sixth, It's

65
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:40.480
not Donald Trump, maybe not even
Nancy Pelosi or the jerk in the Senate

66
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.879
Schumer. It's Mary ol Bowser,
the mayor of was the same mayor who

67
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:58.680
greenlighted the giant blm painting of the
street in our nation's capital. The US

68
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:03.639
Capitol Police, meanwhile, in the
days leading up to the breach, said

69
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.079
that it did not want Pentagon support, but on the day of the breach

70
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.519
asked for help and received one hundred
and fifty personnel after things have already gone

71
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.439
south. This is so important to
what's going on with President Trump's trial,

72
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:25.879
with the detain the detention of thousands
of American citizens who simply were at the

73
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.560
Capitol, not even in the Capitol
on that day and what was easily a

74
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:39.040
preventable riot or altercation. It could
have been a peaceful demonstration, just like

75
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:45.839
Donald Trump insisted it be when he
spoke to reporters or he spoke to supporters

76
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:54.680
rather at the ellipse that day before
the Capitol breach. Totally preventable. And

77
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.800
yet the people that get blame are
the people who were trying to provide a

78
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.839
distance and help to make sure it
wasn't chaotic and a riot and something they

79
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:13.920
could be charged with later. Go
figure Mary Anne Proctor coming up next.

80
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:21.399
Two run SUTs up and it is
gone. You can just that baby cook

81
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:29.000
bar Wow. He's the rins and
white sock Tomorrow night at eight thirty five

82
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.639
or seven hundred WLW and seven hundred
wl w's live stream on the iHeartRadio app.

83
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:40.160
Imagine waking up this time next week
and being one hundred percent agin tonight's

84
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.839
proceedings by talking to the representative,
the state representative from the sixtieth district in

85
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.240
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Mary Ann
Proctor. She is running for re election

86
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:57.439
again, and we'll cover that later. But I wanted to talk about something

87
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.639
that has been legislation that has has
been near and dear to mary Anne Proctor's

88
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:09.000
heart, and she has introduced multiple
times, and it just seemingly does not

89
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.120
get up for a vote for some
reason. In and mary Anne's a Republican.

90
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.279
It's a Republican supermajority in the Kentucky
House and in the Kentucky Senate,

91
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.519
and yet still no traction for certificate
of need. Mary Anne Proctor, welcome

92
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:35.919
to the Nightcap. And I understand, and once again someone is blocking the

93
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.399
House voting on certificate of need in
Kentucky. First and foremost, for people

94
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.399
who do not understand what certificate of
need in Kentucky is, what it means,

95
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.360
please let us let them know,
because there are a lot of voters

96
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.159
who don't understand that this is going
on in Frankfort, and it's been it's

97
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:03.240
been a hot button issue, especially
for or the players who it would directly

98
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.399
affect. So tell us again what
certificate of need is and why you've been

99
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:15.039
such a proponent of the bill that
would eliminate certificate of need in Kentucky state

100
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.799
politics. Well, first of all, thank you for having me on.

101
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.879
It's always a pleasure to speak with
you. In the simplest of terms,

102
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:28.080
Certificate of need is a government issued
permission flip for a new health entity that

103
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.240
would like to enter into Kentucky.
So they must go through a stringent process

104
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.279
of showing the Cabinet that there is
indeed a need for the services and then

105
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.240
a nine step process that is very
lengthy and very expensive to be able to

106
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.279
obtain this certificate need to be able
to open in Kentucky. So it's just

107
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.200
a series of hoops and obstacles placed
in front of healthcare providers before they can

108
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:00.960
even even if they've say, bought
property, even if they have purchase the

109
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:07.240
land and are going to provide jobs
and provide a benefit for the public of

110
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.720
the comonwealth, they still have to
go through all these hoops and fires and

111
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:18.320
whatever to even open up for business. Right, that is correct, And

112
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.960
it's interesting you say that. I've
had several calls from developers outside of Kentucky

113
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:28.159
who are looking to expand services in
northern Kentucky, particularly grocery store chains and

114
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.919
adjacent to that would be acres for
health care facilities, but they are not

115
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:39.039
willing to come in and make those
investments because of certificate of need. So

116
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.360
you'd ask why is this such an
important issue when I ran for election.

117
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.200
This was the top two issue I
heard when I was speaking with my constituents.

118
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.759
They are crying out for choices and
healthcare providers. For my people to

119
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.720
go across the river into Ohio.
It's not a fifteen or twenty minute drive.

120
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.919
It can be a lengthy drive depending
on the bench and if there's any

121
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.720
construction or accidents or things like that. And many times healthcare costs they do

122
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.320
not transfer across state lines, so
if you go, if you're out of

123
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.279
network, which makes it more expensive. Thence some Medicare and Medicaid do not

124
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.159
cross state lines. So that is
wide and advocating so strongly to be able

125
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.080
to have choices in our healthcare facilities. Because in Kentucky we have thirty two

126
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.759
different services and technologies that require this
government permission SLIP to be able to open

127
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.840
in Kentucky. So that makes health
care costs more expensive and makes it longer

128
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.879
to get in because we don't have
enough on the beds, and it certainly

129
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.559
doesn't improve quality. Whenever you have
a monopolistic system, you never had better

130
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.559
quality and lower costs. So,
for example, Marianne Proctor, if you

131
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:54.080
had a doctor and if you believe
that christ Hospital example one or Jewish Hospital

132
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.440
example two was the best place to
get the treatment that you need to get

133
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.639
the healthcare you need, you may
not have easy access to those simply by

134
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.919
being so far away. And also, you know, as far as insurance

135
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:18.600
goes, when basically primary I'm sorry, primary care physician service can be in

136
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.519
Kentucky, it's that they have to
many of them have to be underneath a

137
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.480
hospital for miitting privileges, and so
for that we don't have the variety of

138
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.399
independent doctors that we would like to
see. I think the first time we

139
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.559
spoke about this issue, Mary and
I did tell you that, you know,

140
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:41.080
my wife and I both have primary
care physicians who have agreements and work

141
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.559
for basically work for Saint Elizabeth.
And that's true, and we've had reasonably

142
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.919
good care from Saint Elizabeth. In
fact, my wife had her breast cancer

143
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:58.000
surgery through Saint Elizabeth and everything was
wonderful. But that's not the point.

144
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:05.519
The point is Saint Elizabeth obviously has
some people within your own body who are

145
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.919
for some reason owing to them to
keep other healthcare providers out of Northern Kentucky.

146
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.279
And it just seems like quite a
conflict of interest kind of things that

147
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:26.279
has nothing to do with the general
welfare of the public. And I self

148
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.399
im puzzled why these bills don't go
through. Part of it is certainly industry

149
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:37.919
pressure. There's not only the hospitals
that are influential, but the Kentucky Hospital

150
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.159
Association and the Kentucky Medical Association.
They are are big players and they greatly

151
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:50.039
influence legislators, making them scared to
start to chip away at certificate needs by

152
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.679
the bill that I propose. I've
done several but the one that is sitting

153
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:00.360
in the Committee of Health is HAS
two four and it's really a s ful

154
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.279
bill. All this one does it
eliminates the competitor's veto if a new entity

155
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.320
wants to come into the states.
So it just really allows it to be

156
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:16.759
streamlined, and it accelerates the process
so that the dominant provider can't sue.

157
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.279
There's two opportunities for them to sue
in this nine step process. And it's

158
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.840
the very fact that we know they're
going to keeps many entities from even trying

159
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.879
to come into Kentucky because it's so
expensive to go through that process. And

160
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:35.519
if the dominant provider sues the Cabinet
often gives them deference and denies those certificate

161
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.399
new applications. Right the way the
law is right now, Marianne Proctor,

162
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:46.360
is if christ or some other hospital
entity wanted to come into northern Kentucky open

163
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.919
up any kind of an office or
whatever. We're not just talking about hospitals.

164
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.799
We're talking about treatment centers or any
kind of specialized center that they may

165
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.360
offer if they if they want to
come in. Saint e is the one

166
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.960
that can torpedo that and veto it
because they're the dominant healthcare provider in Kentucky.

167
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.759
It's what it is. To me. It's pretty clear what it is,

168
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:18.360
certificate of need. It is a
government sponsored monopoly of a commercial enterprise,

169
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.720
and it is totally on American and
it's not the way it's supposed to

170
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.080
work. I agree with you one
hundred percent, which is why I've been

171
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.080
bringing these bills and pushing these bills
this entire session and even last year when

172
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.720
I brought the bills. It's the
very same thing. It's monopolistic, and

173
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.840
I'm for removing monopolies and letting people
have choices. Certainly, and something as

174
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.840
important as our healthcare, well,
I know that you've been, like I

175
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.919
said, fighting tooth and nail with
this. Maybe people in your own party,

176
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.120
like Kim mozerould finally listen to the
will of the people instead of whatever

177
00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:02.279
interest they may have in blocking bills
like yours Certificate of need elimination in the

178
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.720
Commonwealth of Kentucky. I just you
know, that's government picking winners and losers,

179
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.039
and that is the last thing government
is supposed to do. Absolutely,

180
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.720
And we've had this problem before during
COVID, with government picking winners and losers,

181
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.600
and I think people maybe got a
little accustomed to it, but I'm

182
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.759
hoping not. The people are pushing
for it. It's the industry the pressures

183
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:29.559
that are shutting this down and putting
the pressure on other legislators not to let

184
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.519
us proceed. All Right, any
other real quick blips here on the current

185
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.279
legislative session before we go, Well, it is getting fast and furious.

186
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.600
In these last couple of weeks that
we have. We've have a lot of

187
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.519
really important issues that are coming up
that we are working on resigning, things

188
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.679
like school choice, you know,
certainly the budget, those things are still

189
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.919
in work, and we see what
happens in these last few days. All

190

you very much, from the sixtieth District

of need. That certificate, in my

192
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.960
opinion, needs to be torn up
at the state level. Marianne, thank

193
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:14.240
you very much. It's the nightcap

Garry jeff Our next guest is a retired

252
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:32.279
sergeant policeman spokesperson for the National Police
Association, which is a nonprofit organization that

253
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:37.079
supports law enforcement officers across the country. Her name is Betsy Brantner Smith.

254
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.720
She started her career as a police
dispatcher at the age of seventeen. She

255
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.759
knew she wanted to help people right
off the bed she sends. Has held

256
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:52.160
positions in patrol investigations, narcotics,
juvenile hostage negotiation, crime prevention, canine

257
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:57.279
field training, been a law enforcement
field trainer or trainer for over twenty years

258
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.079
and it's it's a great pleasure to
have her. It's been a while.

259
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.160
We've had Betsy on once once or
twice before in the past, but it's

260
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.759
great to have her back again on
the night Cap. Betsy Branner Smith,

261
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.279
how you doing. Hey, Thanks
so much for having me, and it

262
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:21.160
is really great to be back and
talk about so many things that are happening

263
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.400
around the country. First off,
let's talk about the National Police Association,

264
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:33.960
an organization that you represent. You're
a spokesperson for this nonprofit that is supporting

265
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:41.440
our law enforcement officers everywhere in this
country wherever they can. But that does

266
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.319
require some dollars, and the last
time I checked, Betsy, our law

267
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.400
enforcement officers certainly need a lot more
support than they're getting right now. How

268
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:55.119
can people help with the National Police
Association? Thank you so much, and

269
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:56.759
that is so true. You know, we have tools not just for law

270
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.920
enforcement officers, but for book education, for We even have a pro police

271
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.920
homeschooling program, and we also offer
grants if a small department can't buy their

272
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:15.759
canine body armor. And we support
not just law enforcement officers but the people

273
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.759
who support them. So we ask
you to go to National police dot org,

274

sign up for our newsletter, hit
that donate button and help us do

275
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.359
what we're doing to keep cops safe
and to keep them out there keeping the

276
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:33.480
American people safe. And it's becoming
increasingly difficult, difficult just to recruit people

277
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.799
to keep people safe as police officers. And if you look around in what's

278
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:42.839
happened in this country the last three
or four years especially, you'd kind of

279
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:48.720
scratch your head and go, So, Betsy Branner Smith or Betsy Brandner was

280
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:56.400
seventeen again, I mean, would
you still have the want to be involved

281
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:02.359
as a first responder, as a
police officer with everything that is against any

282
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.519
young person considering that option. Now, you know, that's such a great

283
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.920
question because when I became interested in
law enforcement in the nineteen seventies, you

284
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:18.000
know, cops were we were an
important part of society. We were revered.

285
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.640
When I showed up to test for
my police department in nineteen eighty U

286
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.599
there were four openings and there was
about a thousand of us who showed up.

287
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:33.960
And now police recruitment is down nationwide
forty seven percent. And in fact,

288
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:41.200
in Saint Louis, Missouri, last
year they gave a police testing informational

289
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:48.160
session and no one showed up.
It's so everybody you know, and it's

290
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.400
just you know, And here's the
thing, we you know, we need

291
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.640
young people out there. This is
not a this is not an old person's

292
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:03.359
game law enforcement. We need young, ethical, edge cad fit people to

293
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:08.119
come to the aid of their fellow
citizens through the profession of law enforcement.

294
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:12.880
Well, and so your numbers are
automatically cut short there because if you've seen

295
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:18.480
the proficiency test in high schools around
the country, you know how bad the

296
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:23.000
educational system has become the public education
system. So they're not preparing a lot

297
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:29.359
of people that you're describing. So
that just narrows your field down even more

298
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.359
if they don't have the mental acuity
because they can't simply read or write or

299
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:42.279
do math on a consistent passing basis
as they're graduating high school, So that

300
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.960
limits again your field of possible candidates, I would think. So there are

301
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:53.359
a number of things working against police
recruitment in twenty twenty four and things that

302
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:57.759
we I think need to seriously think
about as a society. And I think

303
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:03.640
some people are finally realizing the era
of their ways and calling for the defunding

304
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.480
of police and all these other measures
that have gone in and around the country,

305
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.519
and you've gotten the expected result,
which was chaos, which was more

306
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:17.519
crime, people not being safe in
their own neighborhoods, in their own homes.

307
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.119
And you see this over and over
again. So again, education and

308
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:30.759
improving our education in this country is
tantamount to anything moving the society forward,

309
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.680
and it includes the police department.
And you are so right. You know,

310
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:38.680
police officers have to be, you
know, well spoken. They have

311
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:44.759
to be able to put the written
word to paper and document. They have

312
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.559
to be well versed in math,
they have to have good communication skills.

313
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.640
So many things make a good police
officer. And you know, that's what

314
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.799
we heard back in twenty fourteen and
then again in twenty twenty is we need

315
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.880
police officers to be well rounded,
we need to to be educated, we

316
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.079
need to have them to have all
this great training. And yet those same

317
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:10.279
people saying that started the defund the
police movement. And so for example,

318
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:15.440
in Austin, Texas, the first
city to truly defund their police by one

319
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.319
hundred and fifty million dollars by the
way, in twenty twenty, what happened

320
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.519
now it takes up to ten minutes
for a nine to one to one dispatcher

321
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.720
just to answer the phone, and
you may or may not have a police

322
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:33.599
officer show up to your call.
They have a critical staffing shortage. Their

323
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.720
police union president says, we're on
the brink of disaster. We are losing

324
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.480
more police officers every year in Austin, Texas and in so many other police

325
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:48.000
departments than we are able to recruit
and hire. It's dangerous and it makes

326
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.079
it dangerous for the citizens. Talking
to Betsy Brandner Smith of the National Police

327
00:27:52.119 --> 00:28:00.920
Association on the Nightcap on seven hundred
WLW and Betsy here in Cincinnati back before

328
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.279
the beginning of this year, as
late as November, middle of November twenty

329
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:11.480
twenty three, then FOP president Dan
Hills, who has left since bemoan the

330
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:18.039
fact that our employment levels are force
levels in Cincinnati had dropped below nine hundred.

331
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.640
The compliment that they like to carry, and that's the minimum compliment they

332
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.359
like. Excuse me, they like
to carry as about one thy fifty three

333
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:33.400
police officers. And currently at last
check, we're slightly below that. We're

334
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.759
slightly below the minimum required to actually
do the job correctly. So even in

335
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:42.279
cities where there's not been a big
move to defund the police or reimagine the

336
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:52.880
police, or whatever terminology the bureaucrats
and politicians use to gratiate a certain certain

337
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:57.839
voter base that really hasn't even been
a prominent discussion. But in Cincinnati yet

338
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.480
we are still low what we need
to effectively police the city of Cincinnati.

339
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:08.160
So it's not just in places where
they've made this major push, like Austin,

340
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.880
Texas. But you know, I
was joking with you before, and

341
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:18.559
this is not Betsy saying this is
me Gary Jeff Walker saying this. That's

342
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.200
what gets you. That's what you
get when you get a bunch of leftist

343
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.720
dope heads in charge of government.
And in Oregon we've seen the same thing,

344
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.319
the same kind of oh maybe we
made a mistake with some of our

345
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.440
measures. Tell me about what's happening
in Oregon, Betsy, Well, I'll

346
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:41.920
tell you what. In twenty twenty, the Oregon legislature overwhelmingly signed and approved

347
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:49.359
Measure one ten, which decriminalized the
possession of most illegal drugs, no,

348
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.200
not just marijuana, but everything,
heroin, fentanyl, you name it.

349
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:57.279
And the whole theory behind this,
and I mean, of course, this

350
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:03.920
made national news. It was that
if we just are compassionate in the way

351
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:11.480
that we handle people who possess and
consume these terrible, terrible drugs, we

352
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.000
will be able to get them treatment. They will want to get treatment.

353
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.519
And that was the theory. You
give them a ticket, here's your ticket

354
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.799
for possessing heroin, and you give
them a phone number, and they'll call

355
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.920
this phone number and get into treatment
and it'll be great for everyone. So

356
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:34.240
what happened. Thousands of people died
of drug overdoses because there was absolutely unfettered

357
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:41.319
drug use. They had an exponential
increase in homelessness in things like retail theft

358
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.640
and burglary. And then what happened, and this is what finally got people's

359
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:53.119
attention, this homeless drug encampments.
They started moving out of the city and

360
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.039
into the suburbs, and so finally
people in the suburbs said, look,

361
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:02.400
we can't deal with this, and
they set up camp hotels in near schools

362
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:07.880
and things like that. So now
the legislature is reversing itself and they're going

363
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:14.640
to go back and criminalize many of
these drugs because let's not forget the unfettered

364
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.880
amount of fentanyl that is coming into
this country from where I sit right now

365
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:27.160
the southern border is killing tens of
thousands of people, largely young Americans.

366
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:34.720
San Francisco is also reversing some of
their ordinances and policies when it comes to

367
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:40.880
hard drug use, because what we've
got to do is, unfortunately, if

368
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.119
you're addicted to heroin or fentanyl or
whatever, and you're possessing it and using

369
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:51.039
it, you need to be put
in prisons so that we can a punish

370
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.559
you for this bad behavior and b
help you get off these terrible drugs.

371
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.440
I gotta tell you a friend of
mine named Rick Green, and this is

372
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.960
kind of on the topic of what
you're talking about. He's a born again

373
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:08.960
Christian and he was sentenced to six
months in prison for this is years ago,

374
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.519
for non payment of child support.
And he was an alcoholic and he

375
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:16.519
did all the things that you're really
not supposed to do if you want to

376
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:21.400
have a nice, full life.
And it was because he was sent to

377
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:27.519
prison that there God could reach him
and spoke to him, and he asked

378
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.559
God to take these addictions away from
him, and you know, thankfully it

379
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:37.480
worked. Had he he always says, had that judge not sentenced him to

380
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:42.519
prison. He doesn't know if he
would have ever found the answers that he

381
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:47.160
found while in jail. You know, I'm so glad you said that,

382
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.759
because I just talked to a guy
yesterday who works with inmates, high level

383
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.960
felony inmates in an equine program,
a horse program, and he said the

384
00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.839
same thing that you know, we
hear this abolish prison system. No,

385
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:09.640
we can reform certain prison systems to
give inmates more of a chance to right

386
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:16.480
themselves, whether it's through religion,
college, you know, horse and equine

387
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:22.960
therapy, all of those different things
there. But the point is you if

388
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:27.160
we're going to have to put people
in prison, because there has to be,

389
00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:31.400
you have to punish aberrant behavior.
You have to punish it, but

390
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:38.759
then give people a way to rehabilitate. And some prisons do it great job.

391
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.119
And you know here's the thing.
You know which prisons do the best?

392
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:49.759
Uh, Private prisons, for profit
prisons. Absolutely. If you just

393
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:54.759
think about this from a purely capitalistic
standpoint, if a county is paying a

394
00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:00.240
private prison, for example, to
deal with their inmates, if you don't

395
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:05.279
deal with your inmates properly, in
other words, they're not getting the services

396
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:08.440
you need. They keep, you
know, repeat offending you're not going to

397
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:14.440
keep paying them. Government doesn't do
a lot of things. Well, and

398
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.639
I am saying this as someone who's
worked for the government since I was seventeen

399
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:23.639
years old. If for profit prisons, in my opinion, are really the

400
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:30.400
way to really truly help people.
And yet this attack that we've had since

401
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:34.159
twenty twenty on our criminal justice system, one of the things that they have

402
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:39.360
done is attack private prisons with a
lot of misinformation. Well, you know,

403
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:45.639
and then there are the George Sorows
funded elected das in these large,

404
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:51.679
mostly Democrat cities. You know.
You mentioned San Francisco, Los Angeles,

405
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.960
in New York, Alvin Bragg,
and you can just go down to the

406
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:02.719
Philadelphia in Saint Louis, Missouri.
You look, in every situation, we

407
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:10.679
have prosecutors who are refusing to prosecute
even violent crimes. You know. And

408
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:16.280
you've seen what happened to the revolving
door with those four or that group of

409
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:22.360
illegals who were turned out they were
gang members who attacked the police in New

410
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:28.320
York City, the attacks on the
subway, and you see that over and

411
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:31.079
over and over. Talking to Betsy
Brander Smith of the National Police Association.

412
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:37.480
What's that website again, Betsy,
If people are interested, it is Nationalpolice

413
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:39.719
dot Org. Just go right to
it national police dot org and there's that

414
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.400
donate button at the top, and
there's also a button where you can sign

415
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.800
up for our newsletters. Incredible,
a lot of what we're talking about.

416
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.199
There will be articles that go into
depths. We have a great team of

417
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:58.000
writers and a fantastic team of attorneys
who are doing some amazing work. Well,

418
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:01.159
Betsy, you just mentioned you're close
to the border. Where exactly are

419
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:08.559
you geographically? I live in Tucson, Arizona, and so our border patrol

420
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:15.440
sector here, the Tucson sector is
where forty four percent of the illegal immigrants

421
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:22.760
are coming into this country come through. So we see this every I'm also

422
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.719
a police trainer. Every week when
I fly out somewhere, I see the

423
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:34.079
line of the illegals who while I'm
showing my state issued ID and allowing them

424
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.760
to take my photo, there are
the there's the illegal line where they have

425
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:43.400
a brand new iPhone, an EBT
card and cash in their pocket and don't

426
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:46.480
let anybody tell you any different,
and a Manila envelope and all they have

427
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:51.159
to do is show their paperwork and
that Manila envelope and there's an app on

428
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:53.920
their phone and they're on the plane
before I am. Yeah, they're flying

429
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:58.639
all over the country and people don't
even understand that. Most people do not

430
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:06.320
understand that our government is flying these
illegal immigrants. And it drives me nuts.

431
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:12.000
And somebody tries to confuse an immigrant
with an illegal immigrant two totally d

432
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.519
apples and oranges friends, but they
want to group them all in together and

433
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:21.599
with refugees. But anyway, I
digress. But it kills me to know

434
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:27.480
that they are flying them all over
the country without any kind of vetting other

435
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:31.519
than the paper inside a Manila envelope, Betsy. And this is also what

436
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:37.280
is handcuffing and making the job of
police more and more difficult every day,

437
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:45.559
every time, another thousand unvetted illegals, possible criminals from other countries are being

438
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:52.960
allowed into our country with no checks
whatsoever except maybe the state of Texas.

439
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:55.840
And they're getting fought tooth and nailed
by the federal government for this as they

440
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:00.400
try and protect their own state,
which their constitution allowed to do. But

441
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:06.559
anyway, this is a huge problem. It's not just the fentanyl, it's

442
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:12.800
the people themselves, right, well, absolutely don't forget that. And this

443
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:19.159
is something that Left doesn't like to
talk about, the extraordinary sexual exploitation of

444
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:25.159
especially women and young girls and young
boys. And when we talk about illegals

445
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:32.360
who commit crime, very often they
commit horrific crimes on other illegals. So

446
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:39.079
by by encouraging people to come from
at least one hundred and twenty different countries,

447
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:45.719
it's not just from Mexico, we're
we're setting up so many of these

448
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:52.880
marginalized people, if you will,
to be the victims of crime on their

449
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:57.159
journey and then once they get into
the United States. And don't forget So

450
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:01.519
if you're an illegal, you know, no one comes across this border illegally

451
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.920
unless they do it through the Mexican
cartels. So if you're going to come

452
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:13.079
through with the cartels and present yourself
to the border patrol, that costs about

453
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.039
six thousand dollars. If you want
to come across the southern border as one

454
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:22.000
of the godaways, the people who
do not present themselves to the border patrol,

455
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:28.039
that's about twenty thousand dollars. So
they're no longer the Mexican drug cartels.

456
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:35.039
They are the Mexican cartels and they
are operating in about forty different countries.

457
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.559
They are in every state of the
Union, and they are the biggest

458
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:47.119
organized crime situation in the world.
And they have operational control of this southern

459
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.320
border. If you want to know, we talk. Oh, go ahead,

460
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.000
No, I was just gonna We're
getting close to wrapping up here,

461
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:58.079
but I wanted to get into your
your website again, nationalpolice dot org.

462
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:01.639
There's a donate button. This is
it's a nonprofit charity that helps police officers

463
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.199
all over the country and this is
one of the people that's behind it.

464
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.400
Sergeant Betsy Brantnor Smith, thank you
so much for being on the Nightcap great

465
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:17.280
stuff, Thanks for having me.
We find ourselves in trouble times, confusing

466
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:21.280
times, and you may feel lost. When I hear his words, I

467
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.840
can feel my heart go pitypat But
remember, my friend Willie is here for

468
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:29.000
you. Why can't more men be
like Bill Cunningham, here to soothe your

469
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.519
fears. I made him a friendship
bracelet, like the great American that I

470
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:35.599
am. Every night I dream of
Bill Cunningham me too. All you have

471
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:39.159
to do is listen to me.
Dear Cunningham tomorrow at twelve noon on seven

472
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.039
hundred w l W. It's time
to get a headstart on spring cleaning,

473
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:50.280
get rid of all the dirt.
Good into another hour of Powell on the

474
00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:54.960
nightcap on seven hundred WLW. And
you can't say power and this guy's name

475
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.880
and the same sentence without having some
kind of surge of electric I'll tell you

476
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.360
that right now. He'll stay up
on a billboard until his team wins a

477
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.679
game. I know that about him. And he loves Pete Rose and he

478
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:13.679
likes being on with me, So
you know what, there's nothing not to

479
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.000
like about this guy. Dennis wild
Man Walker, Good evening, and how

480
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:20.480
are you, my friend? I'm
doing all right. Can't complain, can't

481
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.400
complain a busy, busy data talk
about stuff, that's for sure. Yeah,

482
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:29.079
first and foremost, let's talk Bengals, since today is the first day

483
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:34.159
of free agency, and there may
have been things transpired since we had this

484
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:38.760
chat. You know, it's on
now. It's on now. But t

485
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:45.159
Higgins apparently wants to be traded from
Cincinnati since they did not reach a long

486
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:49.360
term great deal and put him the
franchise tag on him. What's wrong with

487
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:54.400
him twenty one million dollars a year
and he's not happy. That's what I

488
00:41:54.440 --> 00:42:01.719
mean. What ahot a chance to
canntinue playing with Joe Burrow, A chance

489
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:07.360
to be a part and it's already
an integral part of I don't know that

490
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:14.800
T Higgins goes anywhere else. And
is that uh is that important to the

491
00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:17.119
team he goes to? Then he
is that he is to the Bengals,

492
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:20.639
And you know that's the thing you
got to think about. You got to

493
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:24.119
think about, okay, not only
taking care of me and my family and

494
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:28.840
make sure I get the money that
I'm owed, but also do I want

495
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.480
to be a part of something really
special? Do I? Is it about

496
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:35.440
wins and losses? How much do
you want to win? Tea? If

497
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.599
you want to win, I think
you'd want to stay here with your old

498
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:42.079
buddy Joe, don't you. I
said, I said the same thing,

499
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:47.199
Gary Jet when Jesse Bates Loup going
to the Atlanta Falcons never got to win

500
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:51.320
anything down there, They had their
chance and the coach blew it. But

501
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:54.679
going to the Atlanta Falcons and then
I remember what was it c j Uzma

502
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.079
or or whatever you say, he
went, Yeah, money grab and ran

503
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.199
to the Jets. Now now they've
released him. I mean, I don't

504
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.679
know what these guys are thinking.
That's a lot of us is just a

505
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:12.679
money grab now, TJ h T
T Higgins all right, T Higgins Right.

506
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:15.840
I don't blame him for you know, wanting to see, you know,

507
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:20.079
if there's anything out there. But
I think when the Bengals at the

508
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:22.719
combine, you know, kind of
like stepped around that duke Tobin saying,

509
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.880
you know, we've got you know, we want him back, We want

510
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:29.079
to never left the door open that
there might be a trader, or he

511
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.519
knew that down the road that come
this day when players are allowed to start,

512
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:37.239
you know, signing contracts, that
Higgins was going to request the trade.

513
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:43.320
Now, Higgins might find me a
suitable team out there, but again

514
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:45.039
it comes down to wins and losses
for me, and of course money,

515
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:49.960
I mean, money's the main object
for all these guys. But twenty one

516
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.079
million, that's a lot of dough
to turn down. But look at what

517
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:57.480
the Look what the Bengals could get
in return if they trade T Higgins.

518
00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.559
They're gonna get some you know,
good compensation. The Bengals under doom Toobin

519
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:06.519
and the rest of the team.
They've always managed to find wide receivers.

520
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:08.679
Wide receivers are really a dime a
dozen. And you know, damn well,

521
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:12.960
at the Combine they were talking to
wide receivers. They were you know,

522
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.559
they were well, certainly, and
there's another T. Higgins out there

523
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:20.440
somewhere. He's not a once in
an every twenty year kind of wide receiver.

524
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.239
He's good and he's worth the money, but you know he's not the

525
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:28.719
only one. Drew Samptel Drew Sample, by the way, did re sign

526
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.639
with the Bengals on today, the
first day of free agency, a three

527
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.639
year deal. And he is a
good blocking tight end. He can catch

528
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:40.960
the very reliable. Yes, he
catch the ball. Yeah, So it's

529
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:45.679
instead to have Drew back in the
fold. But I know this and you

530
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.320
know this too. If Joe Burrow
can get the time, he's gonna find

531
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.800
receivers open. So I don't think
it's going to I'm not gonna lose any

532
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:57.920
sleep if T. Higgins leaves,
because they'll find another wide receiver to step

533
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.280
in there. They'll be frotting at
the bit to play with Joe Burrow.

534
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:05.800
And if the Bengals can deal him
somewhere and get those two first round draft

535
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:09.039
picks and what I'm a sore Thory
pick. You know, go for it?

536
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:13.519
Why what you know? T Higgins
is not you know, I'm gonna

537
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:15.039
take us to the super Bowl.
It's going to be Joe Burrow that takes

538
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.039
us to the super Bowl. And
they got to protect him. And he'll

539
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:22.519
fight if you you see, you've
seen him play how many times? And

540
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:27.559
when he gets the time, he'll
find a guy open. If they spend

541
00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:31.440
some of that twenty one million on
the offensive line in the offseason, imagine

542
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.400
what they could come up with,
perhaps wild Man. They can't keep Joe

543
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:38.920
Burrow off his back and to give
him the time that he needs to find

544
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:44.039
those wide receivers. So, uh, let's I guarantee you this. I

545
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.199
guarantee you this, Gary, Jeff, you know, Duke Tobin, Katie

546
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:51.000
Brown. They've all kept Joe.
They've all kept Joe Burrow of what's going

547
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:52.480
on here. And then this is
not a surprise to him. I'm sure

548
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.639
this morning now they're letting him know
what's going on down the road. I

549
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:59.039
mean, if they're not, they're
crazy. But I'm sure they've heard of

550
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:00.920
that. Joe would know what's going
on it and Joe understands it. You

551
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.800
know, Joe understands that it's a
business. It is, it's a business.

552
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:09.760
I'm sure. I'm sure Joe Burrow
has a hand in more general manager

553
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:15.000
type duties than we will ever be
allowed to know, wild Man, because

554
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:20.599
the franchise rests on his shoulders.
Uh, let's talk about Joey Vado.

555
00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:23.360
The shopping carts are safe for the
moment. He'll be playing in Buffalo for

556
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:29.199
the Toronto Blue Jays minor League team. No contract. Uh, it's you

557
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.679
know, just to invite to try
and make the club. So, you

558
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:37.719
know, maybe sad Joey will be
off social media for a few days.

559
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:43.559
Well, does it surprise you that
he signs with this hometown team, No,

560
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:46.840
it doesn't surprise doesn't surprise me at
all, doesn't surprise me at all.

561
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:51.440
Now, Joey said, I saw
an interview with him a couple of

562
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.000
days ago. He said that his
shoulder is much better than it's ever been.

563
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:59.159
So maybe that's one of the problems
when he was only hitting two hundred

564
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:04.000
the last two years. We shall
see, we shall see. Now he's

565
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.440
going to a different league and different
pitchers, and that that could be a

566
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.000
big adjustment, and how much time
will the blue Jays give him to get

567
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.039
into major league shape and even you
know, promote him to the big club.

568
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:20.880
I wouldn't be wild man, I
would not be surprised if the Blue

569
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:27.800
Jays sign him to like a ten
day deal and then release him if he

570
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.719
can't make the club, just so
Joey can retire as a Toronto blue Jay.

571
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:35.800
That was the team that he emulated, that he rooted for growing up

572
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:39.599
in Canada, was a Toronto Blue
Jays. He lives like right around the

573
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:45.039
corner from the stadium where the Jays
play. I mean right, that's that's

574
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:51.480
convenient. And if he makes the
club again, the only sad thing for

575
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:55.559
Cincinnati Reds fans is if he decides
to retire as a Toronto blue Jay,

576
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:01.960
just turning his back on the nineteen
seasons he played here, you know what

577
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:06.639
I mean? Oh, I get
it, I get it. But you

578
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:07.719
know, he's got to make the
club. Yeah, you know, he's

579
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.400
got to make the club and there
might not be room for him because they've

580
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:15.559
got a bunch of younger players there
and what position is he going to play?

581
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.079
And Joe's forty years old? You
know, I don't know he wants

582
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:22.360
to accept that. But you know, the Father time catch us up to

583
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:24.239
these baseball players, catch us up
to all of us, wild man,

584
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:29.119
even you or me. Yeah.
So, I mean, a good luck

585
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.039
to him up there if he can
make the team. If he doesn't,

586
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:35.000
well you know, and then then
you know, they'll he'll know that it's

587
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:37.840
time to hang it up. I
mean, do you think that he'll finally

588
00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:43.880
decide to do that if he doesn't
make the Blue Jays roster? Yeah?

589
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:45.920
I do, I really do.
Yeah, so I do. So maybe

590
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:52.079
maybe all of this moping around in
the weird social media videos were just to

591
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:58.039
kind of set this up. Joey
knew that the road ended in Toronto,

592
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:05.360
And I don't know. It's just
it's very telling when no one else picks

593
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:10.280
up a potential Baseball Hall of Famer
who wants to play, and right that

594
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:14.360
speaks volumes right there, that says
a lot. Nobody wanted them. Nobody

595
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:16.800
wanted them. Why we know why? He can't? He can hardly run,

596
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:21.679
he's not very good defensively anymore,
and he's at two hundred the last

597
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:23.880
two years. Yeah, and he's
always it seems like he's always getting hurt.

598
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:29.079
But if he gives me a stage
a comeback, more power to him,

599
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.639
more power and wild Man, if
he comes back and he's still that

600
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:38.719
guy who can't hit over two oh
six, uh, then I think that

601
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:44.159
does diminish his career. And then
that's the thing. You know, people

602
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:50.199
always talk about the way Willie Mays
went out and how how devastating that was

603
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:52.480
to Willie's legacy. I mean,
ultimately, he's still is in the Hall

604
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.800
of Fame. He's still one of
the great players, to say, hey,

605
00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:59.679
kids, one of the great players
of all in Major League Baseball.

606
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:05.679
But that last season, that did
not help his legacy one iota. And

607
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.400
it made people just kind of look
at at Willia and go, come on,

608
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:13.039
man, you didn't need to do
that. Why'd you do that?

609
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:15.880
And that was like that was a
you know, a deal to get some

610
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.800
more money to keep playing, going
back to New York and play for the

611
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.440
Mets and get a nice little contract. But you can tell his skills were

612
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:24.800
gone. What about my girl,
Kaylyn Clark? Wild Man, come on,

613
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.119
what about your girl Kaylyn Clark?
What about four points, twelve rebounds,

614
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:36.280
twelve assists IOWA for the third straight
year Big ten tournament champions. My

615
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:39.679
god, I got to watch the
uh uh, the overtime. I got

616
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:43.440
the overtime where she came. You
know, she stepped up big time,

617
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:46.920
a couple of nice defensive plays.
So it's uh, that's that. Storybooks.

618
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:52.079
The storybook continues, YEP is still
being written. And I got it

619
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:58.519
flack last week from our conversation because
I was just over the top in my

620
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:04.119
my celebration little everything. Caitlin.
This guy who's uh and I don't know

621
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:07.199
if this is his actual name,
wild man, but the email says Patton

622
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:14.920
mcgroin, and I'm sure it's not
his real name, but Patton mcgroin insisted

623
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:19.159
that I need to I'm too obsessed
with Caitlin Clark and I need to get

624
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.559
over it. So Patton mcgroin,
if you're still listening, and if that

625
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:29.559
is your real name, which I
doubt highly, Patton mcgroin, stick it.

626
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:31.639
I don't care what you say.
I don't care what you say.

627
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:36.239
Brother. Yeah, now, okay, you see Xavier, not to you

628
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.079
do you get into the Big East
And they had Big twelve tournament. Yeah,

629
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:43.360
they I keep I keep hearing these
guys. I'm seven hundred ww.

630
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:45.800
Some of the people that worked there. Oh they could, they could witness

631
00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:49.880
the Witness tournament. They get an
automatic bid. They're not gonna win this

632
00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:52.239
tournament. Neither one of them are
Are you kidding? Well? You see

633
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:57.039
good bye, you see to get
bye. Houston Donkeys will fly first.

634
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.440
They can't get by Marquette and Zaber
and I go get buy no body.

635
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.960
They're both gonna be Maybe they might
win one game, but they're not winning

636
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:07.960
this tournament and they're not getting a
tournament did period. Yeah, I don't

637
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:13.320
even think UK fans have any idea
what. Yeah, they're gonna make the

638
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:19.039
tournament, the NCAA tournament perhaps,
But this Caliperi team once again has shown

639
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.800
that they don't know how to play
defense and they're not a real team.

640
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:29.920
They're very talented, but again,
Calipari's genius at UK is all about recruiting

641
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:32.400
and not about x'es and o's.
Don't you know they had a quality they

642
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:36.880
had a quality win Saturday at Tennessee. Man, I know, I know,

643
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:40.440
number four team in the country.
After Tennessee, after after at the

644
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:47.159
right time, after Tennessee had just
clinched the regular season SEC championship in a

645
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:51.480
game that was basically meaningless to the
vaar. Oh, come on, you're

646
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:55.000
gonna tell me that Tennessee laid down
in Kentucky. No way. But I

647
00:52:55.039 --> 00:53:00.079
say they're just less motivated for a
regular season one when they're for the SEC

648
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:04.760
tournament. That's a huge rivalry.
Man, Come on, give me a

649
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.559
Wildcats some credit there. And like
they they've won you know, three good

650
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:12.519
they've had three straight quality wins.
What are they gonna win the win the

651
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:15.639
NC Noble Tournament. I doubt it. I doubt it, but you know,

652
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:19.039
at least they're in the tournament or
you see Xavier or not. And

653
00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:23.079
I'm a huge ucy fan, huge
huge. I go back to nineteen sixty

654
00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:27.199
three when I loved Iola. I
haven't forgotten that I'm more of a UC

655
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:30.880
fan than any of these these other
other schools. But you know, you

656
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:34.440
see and Xavier not going just face
reality, folks. We're trying to make

657
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.519
up stuff, throwing it against the
wall and open it will stick because it's

658
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:39.920
not. Oh, they got to
they gotta gin up some excitement just so

659
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:44.360
people listen to the last couple of
games. Wild man, I guess,

660
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:47.639
I guess, And you didn't touch
yet on NOBLEI Marte. Oh. I

661
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:52.519
know we haven't talked about really about
baseball outside of Joey Vodo yet I was

662
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:55.800
getting there. And what I want
to know, wild Man, and maybe

663
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:00.719
you have an answer for me that
no one else has unable to answer.

664
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:05.119
What the hell is going on in
the brain of somebody, after all this

665
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:08.679
time, and after all the warnings
and admonishments, and after all the penalties

666
00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:14.840
and suspensions, what the hell is
wrong with the guy who thinks he can

667
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:20.719
get by with it? I said
the exact thing. I said. They've

668
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.559
been testing them in the minor leagues, so he's already been tested before,

669
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:27.920
and now he goes out and thinks
he's going to get by with it,

670
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:30.880
and they're not gonna When when Major
League Baseball shows up to do these testing,

671
00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:35.000
they don't call the Reds and say
we're coming, you know, they

672
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.639
just show up. Okay, we're
gonna test you guys. That's the way

673
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.960
it works. And he's a dumb
ass. He's a real dumb ass.

674
00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.440
I want to tell you, and
I want to tell you this. You

675
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:46.440
know, eighty games had hurts the
Reds because they were but he was going

676
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:50.679
to possibly play a lot of third
base, so he hurts the Reds here

677
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:54.360
before the season starts. When he
comes to back the first time a Great

678
00:54:54.360 --> 00:55:00.079
American Ballpark, the fans should stand
up and boo him so loud his first

679
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:04.280
did bat. But you know what, they won't. There'll be jackasses standing

680
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:08.920
up clapping clapping form and cheering form
and the and that's not that's just so

681
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:13.199
wrong because he really hurt the Reds. But you know, go out and

682
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:15.719
do any stupid, dumb whatever whatever
he took to think he wasn't going to

683
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:21.400
get tested or get caught, and
he should be booed loudly the very first

684
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:23.760
time he comes up to the plate
at Great American Ballpark. Apparently it was

685
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:29.280
a steroid to help him heal faster. Oh, my ass, I always

686
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.559
hear that stuff on Wait, we've
got you called him a dumb ass.

687
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:36.039
You say, jackasses will stand up
and cheer for him when he comes back

688
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:38.880
from his suspension if he does.
And I just said, and you said,

689
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:42.519
my ass, the only thing you
missed was the brass Ass, which

690
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:45.840
is right across the street from the
bar where I work. On Thursday,

691
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:52.840
I saw I saw morgana dance there
years ago. Morgana The Kissing vandit.

692
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.719
Yeah, I saw her dance there. Yeah. Now she wasn't really a

693
00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:59.440
looker, was she. I mean, you couldn't look away back in the

694
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:01.760
days, back in the day,
she was pretty cute, she was.

695
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.199
Yeah, oh yeah, you don't
think you don't think Morgana had butterface disease?

696
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.880
No, not back in to day, No, not at all at

697
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:15.960
all. All right. I never
saw an up close Morgana in her heyday.

698
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:21.119
She had a tremendous body. I
know that she did have. She

699
00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:28.719
did have some certain attributes she did. Yeah, so Novelle Marte. Not

700
00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:32.320
on the not on the run,
not getting paid for for eighty games payay,

701
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.800
so not eligible for the postseason if
the Reds make the playoffs. There

702
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:42.480
you arrogain, see there there he
hurts the Reds by being stupid, by

703
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.559
being a dumb ass. And I'm
telling you, Gary, Jeff, I

704
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:47.679
hope, I hope I have tickets
for that game, because I will be

705
00:56:47.679 --> 00:56:52.199
one. I will be booing him
his first at bat, not just not

706
00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:54.280
a second at back, not a
stirt at bat, but his very first

707
00:56:54.280 --> 00:57:00.480
at bat. He should be booed
loudly, all right. So any other

708
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.440
news and notes from the Red spring
training season, which, by the way,

709
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.639
they're playing here on seven hundred W
WELW tomorrow night, so I've got

710
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:13.159
a very abbreviated night cap tomorrow.
If I'm making out at all, it'll

711
00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:15.599
be about eleven thirty five. But
probably think, you know, Frankie Mondaz

712
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:19.559
is his opening day starter. I
right, some people are getting all upset

713
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:22.119
about that. Why isn't it Hunter
Green? You know, Hunter Green has

714
00:57:22.119 --> 00:57:24.719
already done it two years in a
row. Give it to somebody else.

715
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.840
And Frankie Montdaz, you know,
they they're really high on him. They're

716
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:30.760
paying him a lot of money.
And I'll let them the opening days this

717
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:34.760
one game. It's not the whole
damn season. So you know, for

718
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:37.599
Frankie Montdaz, that's a you know, that's a that's a nice honor to

719
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:40.360
have and to move on whatever.
Yeah, well, you know, Hunter

720
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:47.480
Green actually hasn't He hasn't shown us
all the promise that we thought he held

721
00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:52.159
as he came up from the miners
and made his appearance. I mean,

722
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:55.039
he's pitched good and starts, but
you know, been very very hurt h

723
00:57:55.320 --> 00:58:00.480
you know, prone to being injured, and has not yet blossomed into the

724
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:06.239
kind of starting picture that the Reds
and their fantasy. Yeah, the guy

725
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:08.159
has all the talent they really does, and I kind of look at him

726
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:12.320
and compare. I don't like to
make comparisons, but I remember Tom glav

727
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:14.440
On the Hall of Fame picture for
the Braves. Yeah, you know,

728
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.400
he had a you know, he
started out really slow too, and then

729
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:20.000
I think it took him two or
three maybe four years, and then he

730
00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:22.800
kicked it in gear. And that's
why he's in the Halloway weed as Tope.

731
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:27.960
He's not another Homer Bailey. Uh
wild Man, thank you? Yeah?

732
00:58:28.280 --> 00:58:31.400
With that, will we'll we'll say
I do and uh, I'll talk

00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:30.280
then you've got to clean it up. And I just don't have that kind

744
00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:36.360
of energy tonight on seven hundred wlw
KK Karen Catleen, how you be girl?

745
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:40.320
I good? Do do? Not? Just one jew is fine?

746
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:45.559
Two dos is not do do?
Good to talk to you? Good to

747
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:47.880
talk to you. So today I
just wanted to hit you with this because

748
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:52.880
this screamed at me. In fact, I started the show talking about it

749
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:59.440
and actually reading from the article from
the Epic Times. UH hidden January sixth

750
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:06.599
transgres revealed undermining the House Committee's claim
on j six that Donald J. Trump

751
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:12.639
there was no evidence that then President
Trump tried to secure the capital ahead of

752
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:22.239
January sixth. And what's happened here
is one of the representatives on the committee,

753
01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:30.719
Barry Laudermilk out of Georgia, released
this transcript and apparently they withheld the

754
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:37.039
statement and the testimony of one Anthony
Ornado, who was the White House Deputy

755
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:43.159
Chief of Staff during the breach.
He told the committee that he overheard Mark

756
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:45.960
Meadows, who'd been then chiefs' staff, on the phone with the Washington mayor,

757
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:53.599
Maury ol bow wowweuser trying to make
sure that they had everything they needed

758
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:57.360
for January. They knew this was
going to be a big event, and

759
01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:05.440
Donald Trump ordered as many as ten
thousand national security troops to be to protect

760
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:09.159
the Capitol that day. He offered
the help to Mayor Bowser, but they

761
01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:14.239
hid the transcript from the j six
committee and it never was released to the

762
01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:20.760
public until now. And I said, mister Meadows wanted to know if she

763
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:23.559
needed any more guardsmen, and I
remember the number ten thousand coming up of

764
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:27.400
the President wants to make sure you
have enough. He's willing to ask for

765
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:37.719
ten thousand, which Donald Trump testified
to earlier on And apparently this ornado speaking

766
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.400
to the House Select Committee said,
you know, he, after his original

767
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:49.639
testimony that the President did ask for
this security had told them no, I

768
01:01:49.639 --> 01:01:53.079
don't remember anything like that, when
in fact it's documented and there's a transcript

769
01:01:53.159 --> 01:02:00.559
that shows that President Trump did not
want all of the craziness of Januaryruary sixth

770
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.519
at the Capitol. He knew the
importance of it and tried to stop it,

771
01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:09.360
and yet they've got him on trial
for January sixth. So there is

772
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:14.400
there's a pay per trayal that has
been unleashed. Now. It's kind of

773
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:22.000
like Hunter Biden and the laptop and
emails and texts, which they keep ignoring.

774
01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:27.199
By the way, in the case
of Hunter Biden, but the JASICS

775
01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:34.840
Select Committee was ignoring testimony and did
not release this document, this transcript when

776
01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:40.599
they released their report. Surprise,
surprise, right, yeah, you know,

777
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:45.280
I wish we could be surprised.
You know, does any of us

778
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:52.559
seem believable? Well? Yeah,
and it sounds like the act. It

779
01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:55.760
doesn't exactly sound like the act of
an insurrectionist, does it. No,

780
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:02.360
if you're going to I mean,
that's the point. They have manufactured these

781
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:07.960
labels, these bigoted, hateful labels, so they could justify their law fare

782
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:17.920
on a story that is patently untrue, and they have censored and quashed what

783
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:22.159
do they call it. I love
this word exculpatory. I'm not a lawyer,

784
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:27.360
but I love that word exculpatory evidence. Yes, and and this is

785
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:34.800
not the act of an insurrectionist,
but I seem to remember Nancy Pelosi denying

786
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:40.000
extra police and National Guard, So
does that make her an insurrectionists? Just

787
01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:46.079
as they called the they called the
Senator's sergeant in arms the same question,

788
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:52.280
Chuck Schumer's got and and he said, no, we don't, We don't

789
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:59.079
need the extra help. Maryel Bowser
had ten thousand prospective National Guard troops.

790
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.039
We add her beck and call.
All she had to do was say the

791
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:09.800
word, and President Trump asked her. Mark Meadows asked her, do you

792
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:13.119
need some help? Now? We
got it? And they sent three hundred

793
01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:15.320
and forty. They could have sent
ten. You think if they'd had ten

794
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:21.960
thousand National guardsmen there at the Capitol, that any of the nonsense that happened

795
01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:28.000
that was criminal would have happened.
Hell no. Well but if you've got

796
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:32.400
all those undercover FBI and CIA whatever
they were agents, oh, in the

797
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:38.599
crowd, Yes, there in the
crowd, egging people on doing things that

798
01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:45.280
were wrong in order to create the
maximum event for later, which we saw

799
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:51.239
it later was a show trial that
went on all last summer, setting up

800
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:55.239
exactly this is what they do.
It's the wrap around smere or. Nancy

801
01:04:55.239 --> 01:04:59.840
Pelosi told us, we create the
problem. We blamed the problem on her

802
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:05.079
enemies, and then we get to
where we really want to go and use

803
01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:11.199
that problem as the justification for where
we really want to go, whether it

804
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:15.320
is new legislation against people's rights or
whether it's to prosecute with law fare.

805
01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:23.119
Their greatest political opponent is always the
same, and yet there's way too many

806
01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:27.039
people still who fall for it.
Let me just tell you one thing that

807
01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:31.840
does you know that does concern me, and that is to depend on the

808
01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:39.559
propaganda media that keeps quiet and avoids
and ignores things that are not part of

809
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:45.519
the radical leftist agenda. You know, we cannot possibly depend on them to

810
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:53.360
report a story of them keeping out
Exculpatory means not when you have a propaganda

811
01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:58.119
media that is going to keep going
on their narrative no matter what the facts.

812
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:02.199
Yep, absolutely right. I'll read
you one headline and I'll let you

813
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:08.480
guess where this headline's from. Oscars
observes a moment of silence for undocumented murderer

814
01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:18.760
tragically called illegal. It's probably the
Babylon Saphire. It's not, no,

815
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:26.079
it's not now. How about that? How about that? The fact that

816
01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:32.480
they will not call this Venezuelan gang
matter. This gang member from Venezuela who

817
01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:39.320
murdered Lake and Riley and Georgia,
they won't call him illegal. I mean,

818
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:45.039
even Joe Biden, in his potted
plant missed the other night at the

819
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:48.840
State of the Union addressed called him
illegal and got flak from the other Democrats

820
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:55.920
for doing it. Apologized, of
course he did, because because that was

821
01:06:56.119 --> 01:07:02.800
really the only outrage in that whole
sentence. It wasn't murdering a sweet nursing

822
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:10.320
student who they profess to care about
women. They profess to care about social

823
01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:16.559
justice, but they don't know their
social justice is. Don't call them illegals,

824
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:24.239
call them undocumented. Now they're calling
them newcomers, right, Just don't

825
01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:28.960
put them in my backyard. Put
them in other people's backyard. My question

826
01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:31.119
also has been I don't know if
I asked you this last time. Now

827
01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:36.599
suddenly Biden is professing to care about
illegals. I mean, oh, well,

828
01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:39.880
you know, see, I'm going
to call it illegals because that is

829
01:07:39.880 --> 01:07:45.159
the legal term illegal alien. So
now he cares about the border. Why

830
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:53.519
is he not racist or xenophobic for
caring about the border. Why Because it's

831
01:07:53.920 --> 01:08:00.360
a campaign year, right, and
so I guess we've all been given special

832
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:08.679
dispensation to have the right to talk
about the invasion of our country because it's

833
01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:16.279
an election yere and people need to
I don't know the brazenness with which they

834
01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:23.960
support these policies that are so patently
destructive of our country. And then the

835
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:28.520
only difference in the election here is
they cried crocodile tears about it and claim

836
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.960
that somebody stopped them from doing the
right thing. That's one of the greatest

837
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:41.199
tactics they use. They have so
much power, but they're still the victims

838
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:49.199
of the Republicans were in the minorities. It's right, it's a petty complaint

839
01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:55.720
about Biden's s O tu which I
could come up with other things that that,

840
01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:00.840
you know, anagram stance were,
but I won't. But I'd love

841
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:05.239
to hear it off. Okay,
maybe maybe, but no. What I'm

842
01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:11.399
saying is that it's a petty complaint. But he has a speech in front

843
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:14.960
of him, he's got a pen
with her name on it, and still

844
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:20.479
cannot get the name of the sweet
murdered nursing student right in front it Riley.

845
01:09:20.560 --> 01:09:24.840
But you know, you know what, that's not petty at all,

846
01:09:25.960 --> 01:09:31.159
because it is a painful example of
the fact that he doesn't know who she

847
01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:35.640
is. He has no idea,
nor does he care, no nor does

848
01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:40.399
he care. What I think is
amazing is did I don't even have it

849
01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:45.239
in front of me, the number
of gas that he went to Pennsylvania the

850
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:49.119
day after the State of the Union
and he was back to his old shuffling,

851
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:56.159
mumbling, doesn't know where he is, talks under his breath. God,

852
01:09:56.920 --> 01:10:01.520
all of a sudden, for one
evening it remember that one, Charlie,

853
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:08.760
they gave him drugs and suddenly he
was an angry politician, which it

854
01:10:08.800 --> 01:10:12.399
seems to be. All he's able
to get to do is to play angry,

855
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:15.880
loud and dictatorial. But the rest
of the time, you know,

856
01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:23.600
he's a doddering fool who can't remember
where he is. Karen as someone who

857
01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:29.960
as someone who foolishly did plenty of
cocaine back in the late eighties and early

858
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:34.960
nineties. That had all the ear
marks and I'm not saying that's what it

859
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:39.760
was, but that had all the
ear marks of somebody being juiced up on

860
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:46.119
coke. It really did. Do
you remember when Tucker Carlson's showed one of

861
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:56.359
the communist country leaders with this massive
biter on the side of his neck that

862
01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:00.399
none of the people were allowed to
comment or call attention to. It was

863
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:06.479
like this massive grapefruit or something on
his neck. But we're all playing along,

864
01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:13.399
supposedly because of new censorship in the
United States of America. We're supposed

865
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:17.520
to play along, not just say
the emperor has closed. But we are

866
01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:23.079
not supposed to see what we see. And I think that's one of the

867
01:11:23.119 --> 01:11:28.920
most beautiful things we can do is
keep telling the truth, keep using the

868
01:11:28.960 --> 01:11:32.479
mouth God gave us to see what
we say, see what we see,

869
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:39.199
say what's on our minds, and
recognize that words are different than actions.

870
01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:43.439
And this country was founded. Don't
get me started. I'm on a soobush

871
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:48.239
on the tolerance for descent and differences
of opinion. My God, that's the

872
01:11:48.279 --> 01:11:56.880
way my people learn Torah by arguing
every point. They don't take guns out

873
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:00.079
and shoot each other. They learn
from descent and from an analys and debates,

874
01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:04.079
and that is what we must do. Yeah, oh absolutely, But

875
01:12:04.960 --> 01:12:09.399
like I said, somebody asked me
if I watched any of the State of

876
01:12:09.439 --> 01:12:13.119
the Union. I said, well, like most State of the Unions,

877
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:15.239
depending on you know, no matter
who the president is, unless it's a

878
01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:20.359
lame duck who's not running for office, the State of the Union address given

879
01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:26.319
by the president, whomever that may
be, during an election year, is

880
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:29.920
always a campaign speech. And I
said, I've known I wasn't voting for

881
01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:35.479
him like forever, So no campaign
speech or no amount of a juiced up,

882
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:40.720
yelling, angry old man is going
to sway me one way or the

883
01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:45.279
other. So no, I didn't
watch because I seriously, in any presidency,

884
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:49.279
if you're watching a State of the
Union address and it's a presidential election

885
01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:53.840
year, it's going to be a
campaign speech. It's not going to be.

886
01:12:54.199 --> 01:13:00.239
This was more of a campaign speech
than anybody's ever had the adapts need

887
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:06.399
to make. I wouldn't submit that. It's because the people writing this speech,

888
01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:12.520
as we already know, he can't
even read the teleprompter, let alone

889
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:16.359
write what's on you sure, I
don't think they understand what the role.

890
01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:21.600
They don't even know enough to pretend
that this is a State of the Union

891
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:26.560
speech. They don't know that the
State of the Union speech, believe it

892
01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:32.079
or not, is supposed to inform
the public about the state of the union,

893
01:13:32.439 --> 01:13:36.279
and the people he serves. See, they don't know that, so,

894
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:40.159
you know, they don't know that's
what it is. Well, there

895
01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:44.319
are too many people in this country, Karen, Kathleen who think that we're

896
01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:49.279
there to serve them and not the
other way around. That is the great

897
01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:56.520
disconnect is that no, they are
actually our employees. We pay their salary.

898
01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.199
We put them in their positions to
do a job for us, not

899
01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:04.520
to do a job on us or
for us to do a job for them.

900
01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:10.199
You know, it's not it's not
that hard to really understand if you

901
01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:13.680
know how the government is supposed to
work as opposed to the way it actually

902
01:14:13.920 --> 01:14:16.600
is or isn't working right now.
Yeah, but that horse is out of

903
01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:24.319
the barn a long time ago with
unelected bureaucrats such that even the president is

904
01:14:24.359 --> 01:14:30.199
not really making policy when you have
so many unelected bureaucrats who don't really care

905
01:14:30.239 --> 01:14:35.560
who's president. No, and that's
one of the reasons Washington, DC needs

906
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:41.239
to be decentralized. The entire federal
government does, and we need to eliminate

907
01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:45.720
about I don't know ten or twelve
of the agencies that are full of those

908
01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:56.520
bureaucrats and lifelong Beltway people who live
and breathe to spend our money, and

909
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:00.880
they're going to fight tooth and nail
for that to happen again. I am

910
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.760
redundant. The arsonists are in charge
of the fire brigade. Who's going to

911
01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:11.319
hold them accountable when they hold the
reins of holding others accountable? Like law

912
01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:15.880
a budding citizens daring to say what's
on their mind, daring to protest about

913
01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:21.720
pornography on grade school shelves for third
graders. You know, I seem to

914
01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:26.520
remember we never had a disagreement about
that until now. We used to say,

915
01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:30.800
you know, we can put grades
on movies because we didn't think it

916
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:34.800
was good for a six year old
to watch Deep Throat. But apparently all

917
01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:41.720
our values have changed. Nobody told
us right. Everything that is right is

918
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:46.720
now wrong, everything that is wrong
is now right, and it's all meant

919
01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:53.800
to tear down our society. That's
why we have to hold fast to our

920
01:15:54.720 --> 01:16:00.680
culture and our principles are most deeply
held believes in principles. Heard some good

921
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:04.720
news today, how long we have
go ahead? That that there is a

922
01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:13.600
huge populist movement. Oddly, Mike
Pence, the great supposed Republican who really

923
01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:18.119
isn't is spent, is going to
spend millions of dollars to fight populism.

924
01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:24.920
And the populist movement in Europe is
growing because it's the populace who believe in

925
01:16:24.920 --> 01:16:30.439
individ jew wild freedom. Apparently Mike
Pence doesn't believe in that, but there

926
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:34.560
is a huge movement in that direction. Uh. They may have to educate

927
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:41.640
Americans as to what America is still
supposed to be about. Just just remember

928
01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:45.199
Karen forgotten. If you see Mike
Pence smiling, he probably just has a

929
01:16:45.239 --> 01:16:50.760
gas. Have a good evening,
dear, thank you. This is the

930
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:56.800
nightcap on seven hundred w LW.
In today's Marketers Report, Kate Cron,

931
01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.520
chief brand officer of Moderna, weighs
in on the speed of audio production in

932
01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:06.159
this age and seven hundred WLW.
One of our favorite regular guests joins us

933
01:17:06.199 --> 01:17:14.520
in this half hour. He is
the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition.

934
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:20.359
He is the author of several outstanding
books about the environment, about energy,

935
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:28.000
about climatism, and climate change,
and that includes, of course his

936
01:17:28.119 --> 01:17:32.039
latest book, which was out in
August of last year, called Green Breakdown

937
01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:38.239
The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. Please
welcome back to the show. Steve Gorham

938
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:42.960
Hi, Steve Hi, Gary,
Jeff. Great to join you, always

939
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:46.199
good to have you on, Steve
with like I like to say, the

940
01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:57.239
real information, not the the historyonic, not the trumped up bad word probably

941
01:17:58.159 --> 01:18:03.880
information you get on a regular bases
from so called mainstream news outlets and from

942
01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:11.680
the UN and from all of these
climate cultists who have grabbed the public's ear

943
01:18:11.800 --> 01:18:15.239
for the last twenty years telling us
that unless we stop driving cars and using

944
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:20.159
fossil fuels, we were going to
send a planet to an early grave because

945
01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:29.880
of global warming, rising sea depleting
glaciers and ice packs, and at every

946
01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.479
turn over really the last one hundred, one hundred and fifty years, because

947
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:39.359
these alarmists have been out there for
a long time with different agendas, mind

948
01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:45.920
you, but at every turn their
predictions have gone south. Because it was

949
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:49.960
obvious when we got to a certain
date, a certain drop dead date,

950
01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:54.720
that if we didn't start doing this
and stop doing that, we were all

951
01:18:54.760 --> 01:19:00.560
going to die. Well, we're
well past those dates, and there have

952
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.520
been a few that have been eclipsed
recently. As far as predictions made,

953
01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:08.119
you know, fifteen twenty years ago, maybe not even that long ago,

954
01:19:08.199 --> 01:19:12.840
have been proven to be false because
the data was bad or flawed, or

955
01:19:12.880 --> 01:19:16.840
because people just had an agenda,
which is usually the case that has nothing

956
01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:23.920
to do with science. So number
one, do you think people are Steve?

957
01:19:23.960 --> 01:19:28.479
Do you think people are finally waking
up to the truth about climate and

958
01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:36.279
man's participation in climate change. Yeah, that's a tough question. I don't

959
01:19:36.279 --> 01:19:40.520
know if they are. And you're
right, alarm is very very effective.

960
01:19:40.560 --> 01:19:45.960
People have been announcing alarm for a
long long time now, and it's picked

961
01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:50.720
up by the press. It makes
good headlines everything from population to y two

962
01:19:50.880 --> 01:19:57.359
K to all sorts of different things, and climate is certainly the biggest one

963
01:19:57.359 --> 01:20:00.880
on the list. I think what
we are seeing, though, is that

964
01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:05.399
we are seeing the first signs of
breakdown because some of these things just are

965
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:10.439
not are not going to be very
effective, and they're way too expensive.

966
01:20:10.520 --> 01:20:15.119
So we're starting to see some of
that. But it seems like the true

967
01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:19.199
believers in climatism, the fear of
human cause global warming, are marching forward,

968
01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:24.800
and you know, think they're doing
something good by forcing things on all

969
01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:30.359
the rest of the people. Not
so surprisingly cities like Chicago and New York.

970
01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:36.760
In fact, those two specifically just
vile lawsuits against corporations for damages from

971
01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:44.439
climate change that they said that these
these corporations had caused. You think these

972
01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:48.600
will be successful, Steve, Yeah. Two big new lawsuits, one with

973
01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:54.880
Chicago. They're suing five oil companies, accusing them first of climate change destruction

974
01:20:55.319 --> 01:20:59.880
and then fraud. And it's amazing
the amount of suits. We have.

975
01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:05.439
A report by the United Nations three
years ago identified fifteen hundred new cases filed

976
01:21:05.439 --> 01:21:09.840
in thirty eight cities. By the
way, twelve hundred of those, eighty

977
01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:14.720
percent were filed in the United States. That was up seventy five percent in

978
01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:19.000
just three years. So we have
all these climate cases being filed, but

979
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:24.479
they do have a pretty high bar. First off, they have to show

980
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:28.600
standing. In other words, they
have to show that they were damaged the

981
01:21:28.680 --> 01:21:31.359
plaintiffs, so the city of Chicago
has to show that it was damaged somehow

982
01:21:31.760 --> 01:21:35.600
by what the oil companies are doing. Second, they have to they have

983
01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:40.800
to show that the injury was caused
by the oil companies. And the third

984
01:21:40.920 --> 01:21:46.000
is there has to be a remedy
the court could put into place. And

985
01:21:46.119 --> 01:21:50.800
so far, I don't know of
a single case where monetary damages have come

986
01:21:50.840 --> 01:21:56.720
out of an oil company. Despite
many many cases being filed, Oakland and

987
01:21:56.760 --> 01:22:00.520
San Francisco filed cases were defeated in
court, although they've appealed and they're still

988
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:08.640
in appeal. The City of New
York also filed against oil companies and was

989
01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:13.840
defeated and then defeated in the appellate
court, so they're not doing very well.

990
01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:18.319
The second case, though, is
pretty interesting. New York just filed

991
01:22:19.439 --> 01:22:28.079
and they're actually suing a beef producer
for the environmental damage they have, and

992
01:22:28.520 --> 01:22:33.680
it's a little bit of their saying. The beef producer, JBSUSA, has

993
01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:42.159
said it is going to have zero
greenhouse gas emissions by twenty forty and the

994
01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:48.560
Attorney General of New York claims that
they're misrepresenting, that that's greenwashing and they

995
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:51.479
won't be able to achieve it.
So it's a little bit strange, a

996
01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:59.319
little bit different. But the United
Nations blames says about twenty percent of the

997
01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:02.000
world's greenhouse gases are caused by agricultures, so that's what they're going after.

998
01:23:02.279 --> 01:23:08.079
Well, it's it's funny that they
said that they're misrepresenting when the other side

999
01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:13.159
misrepresents all the time, taking things
out of context and blowing things up and

1000
01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:21.600
exaggerating things and just putting out false
material. Is meat consumption destroying the climate,

1001
01:23:21.680 --> 01:23:27.960
that's the question, Steve Gorum,
Yeah, it is pretty amazing.

1002
01:23:28.039 --> 01:23:31.920
Well, we do have all those
cows out there who are belting, and

1003
01:23:32.239 --> 01:23:38.359
so from both ends they're getting,
uh, we're getting greenhouse gases. But

1004
01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:41.880
the United Nations, you know,
has a solution for this. They have

1005
01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:45.119
been urging for quite a few years
now that people eat insects to fight world

1006
01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:51.239
hunger. Yes, and I'm quoting
the un of Food and Agricultural Organization quote.

1007
01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:56.199
Insects are reported to emit less greenhouse
gases and less ammonia than cattle or

1008
01:23:56.239 --> 01:24:00.880
cakes, and they require significantly significantly
less land or water than cattle rearing.

1009
01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:05.439
So they've got their solution. Well, what about what held on? What

1010
01:24:05.520 --> 01:24:11.720
about the report that I saw years
ago. I don't know the validity of

1011
01:24:11.760 --> 01:24:15.640
it, but there was that turmite
flatulence was the number one producer of methane

1012
01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:20.000
on the planet. I think that's
probably true. Termites submit a lot of

1013
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:27.600
a methane. Nothing is a natural
thing that nature emits puts in the atmosphere

1014
01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:30.920
all the time, so it's doubtful
that we can have a big effect.

1015
01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:35.680
But there are all these crazy headlines, you know, the U there was

1016
01:24:35.720 --> 01:24:41.720
one study that said feeding concluded that
feeding cattle seaweed would reduce their greenhouse gas

1017
01:24:41.760 --> 01:24:45.840
emissions, so much for grass fed
beef. And another one where they were

1018
01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:51.479
actually potty training cows to try and
get them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

1019
01:24:51.880 --> 01:24:57.680
Whoa, Now, how do you
potty train a cow? Well, I

1020
01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:00.239
don't know. I guess you get
it to go, and I and a

1021
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:03.439
container where you can take the take
the pool away and it doesn't sit there

1022
01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:06.520
and emit methane. You know,
that'd be a pretty good trick. But

1023
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:10.960
you know, probably both of these
these, by the way, these are

1024
01:25:11.000 --> 01:25:14.960
sidebars in my books. I have
all these sidebars of real headlines of the

1025
01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:19.960
crazy climate stuff going on. But
both these these were probably paid for by

1026
01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:24.239
government funding. You know, they
get funding to do these kind of studies

1027
01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:29.800
your tax dollars. So that's just
another ugly part of this. Well,

1028
01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:34.159
you know. And the thing is
if they do not provide the kind of

1029
01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:41.760
data that the government wants to push, then the funding will be cut off.

1030
01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.399
If you or if you solve this
is the thing about government bureaucracies in

1031
01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:51.079
general. And the funding that you're
talking about for the climatism cult is that

1032
01:25:51.760 --> 01:25:57.279
if you prove that there's no problem
where you solve the problem, the money

1033
01:25:57.319 --> 01:26:01.640
goes away. So that there has
to be a problem that's continually propped up

1034
01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:06.359
that they have to be studying in
order to keep getting the money coming.

1035
01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:11.920
Yeah, and the funds are vasked
for all of this stuff. That really

1036
01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:15.680
is amazing what we spend nowadays from
the government takes you know, once you

1037
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:18.439
send us text dollars off, the
no longer years and so they can use

1038
01:26:18.439 --> 01:26:21.880
the one all sorts of foolish things, and much of that is climate.

1039
01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:29.720
Another example is two decades ago,
only four percent of world aid from wealthy

1040
01:26:29.800 --> 01:26:32.479
nations to developing nations was tied to
climate. Now it's like a quarter of

1041
01:26:32.520 --> 01:26:36.720
all the aid is tied to a
climate project. So it's just it's just

1042
01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:45.279
become the the existence for so many
different things going on in this crazy world.

1043
01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:51.840
Steve Gorham, the author of Green
Breakdown, The Coming Failure of Green

1044
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:58.159
Energy. I mean it's it's starting
to fall on its face a little bit,

1045
01:26:58.199 --> 01:27:03.399
Steve. As you mentioned, there
have been several famous offshore wind farms

1046
01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:14.399
that have ceased production because of a
myriad of different issues from wildlife to the

1047
01:27:14.439 --> 01:27:19.359
fact that it's just expensive and not
very efficient at all in serving the purpose

1048
01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:25.560
that they'd hoped it had as a
renewable energy source. A recent study found

1049
01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:31.319
that human breathing contributes to climate change. Should we should we all stop breathing

1050
01:27:31.560 --> 01:27:36.520
or just aoc That was a study
in England. They studied that and said

1051
01:27:36.520 --> 01:27:42.880
that contributes to climate change. It
is true that each person exhales about two

1052
01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:47.920
pounds of carbon dioxide every single day. And I actually when I wrote an

1053
01:27:48.000 --> 01:27:54.279
article a few years ago, they
were fighting about the Keystone XL pipeline,

1054
01:27:54.359 --> 01:27:58.920
and I pointed out that housecats in
the United States submit more greenhouse gases than

1055
01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:02.159
that pipeline would, or whatever connected
to the pipeline. And it has just

1056
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:08.279
gotten so crazy. Second book,
The Mad, Mad, Mad World of

1057
01:28:08.319 --> 01:28:13.319
Climatism, I talked about the law
that they passed in Australia. They have

1058
01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:17.239
all these camels, wild camels that
are roaming Australia, about one point two

1059
01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:23.039
million of them, and somebody computed
that each one of those camels emits about

1060
01:28:23.039 --> 01:28:30.479
a ton of carbon dioxide equivalent methane
gas per year. And so in twenty

1061
01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:35.199
eleven they actually passed the Australian Carbon
Farming Initiative Act that called for quote the

1062
01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:40.520
reduction of methane amissions through the management
in a humane manner of faral goats,

1063
01:28:41.039 --> 01:28:45.399
faral deer, faro pigs or faral
camels. And literally you could go out

1064
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:53.159
and shoot these beasts and earn carbon
credits. Jeez. Hillary Clinton, who

1065
01:28:53.560 --> 01:28:58.800
has never gotten one vote from me, called for us to track climate deaths,

1066
01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:03.199
and you've done just that in Green
Breakdown. So okay, this is

1067
01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:10.000
hundreds of thousands of annual deaths or
this. The numbers are in hundreds of

1068
01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:16.279
thousands, tracking from nineteen hundred through
twenty twenty. In nineteen hundred, and

1069
01:29:16.359 --> 01:29:21.359
these are deaths from natural disasters,
which of course they always linked to man

1070
01:29:21.399 --> 01:29:29.319
made climate change. It increases the
tornadoes and the hurricanes, and the mad

1071
01:29:29.479 --> 01:29:34.479
storms and the snow storms and whatever
kind of major weather events they can point

1072
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:40.760
to and tie it to man made
cause climate change. So in nineteen hundred,

1073
01:29:41.039 --> 01:29:45.000
for example, there were about one
hundred and fifty thousand. From what

1074
01:29:45.079 --> 01:29:48.800
I'm reading here on the charts,
are these worldwide, worldwide deaths from disasters.

1075
01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:53.840
These are worldwide average number of deaths
per year, right, and now

1076
01:29:53.880 --> 01:29:59.399
it's down to about, you know, maybe thirty thirty thousand a year.

1077
01:29:59.439 --> 01:30:01.079
And we had some real big years, as you mentioned, nineteen twenty,

1078
01:30:01.079 --> 01:30:06.000
we were only over five hundred thousand
deaths annually from disasters. This data comes

1079
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:13.039
from m DAT, which is the
International Disaster Database. And so the deaths

1080
01:30:13.079 --> 01:30:16.199
have gone down about ninety percent in
the last one hundred years. And oh,

1081
01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:21.079
by the way, global population has
increased maybe four or five times since

1082
01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:25.600
then. So it's going to be
a real tough case for missus Clinton to

1083
01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:30.760
say that climate deaths are increasing,
But that's what she is trying to point

1084
01:30:30.800 --> 01:30:35.000
out. Yeah, she loves difficulties. She's been married to Bill Clinton for

1085
01:30:35.039 --> 01:30:42.399
how many years. In your recent
book, Green Breakdown, you predicted the

1086
01:30:42.399 --> 01:30:46.479
world is heading for a renewable energy
failure, and I kind of reference this

1087
01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:51.119
with the offshore windmill projects that have
shut down recently. Do you see other

1088
01:30:51.199 --> 01:30:56.359
signs of the coming breakdown, Steve, Yeah, we do. There is

1089
01:30:57.079 --> 01:31:04.239
just an announcement in the last month
the big Wall Street firms are pulling out

1090
01:31:04.239 --> 01:31:11.560
of their climate commitments. JP Morgan, State Street Pimco all pulled out of

1091
01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:16.800
a group called Climate Action one hundred. We also had Vanguard that has downgraded

1092
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:21.399
things. Now, a big part
of this is ESG Environmental, Social and

1093
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:27.680
Governance. But that ESG it was
what corporations are supposed to be doing,

1094
01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:30.560
but ahead like a real big E
and the environmental mian get rid of oil

1095
01:31:30.600 --> 01:31:34.479
and gas and coal and any lending
for that. But we had a bunch

1096
01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:41.680
of states that said we're not going
to invest in your pension funds. Texas

1097
01:31:41.720 --> 01:31:45.119
and Florida and West Virginia said that, and so the Wall Street firms said,

1098
01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:48.279
you know, this is not such
a good idea. And then the

1099
01:31:48.319 --> 01:31:53.640
second thing is that these funds that
have invested in renewables that they have are

1100
01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:59.479
just doing terrible. The price of
major renewable firms has been falling in the

1101
01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:03.199
last three years on stock markets.
So this is a sign of the green

1102
01:32:03.239 --> 01:32:08.720
breakdown. The financial community is saying, better pull back on this a little

1103
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:14.640
bit. Yeah. I mean black
Rock, for example, which is not

1104
01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:19.880
not the most favorable to America kind
of corporations. No matter what they will

1105
01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:25.399
tell you, they're they're also pulling
back, as you just mentioned on climate

1106
01:32:25.479 --> 01:32:30.199
change pledges. Yeah, kind of
like, kind of like China and India

1107
01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:35.760
insisting the United States cut back on
our carbon commissions. Well, they keep

1108
01:32:35.760 --> 01:32:45.359
on building coal powered plants and oil
wells all over their own countries to pump

1109
01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:48.920
the coal out of the ground.
So is there is there even a shot

1110
01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:54.720
we could get to net zero emissions
by twenty fifty We're talking about twenty six

1111
01:32:54.840 --> 01:32:57.760
years from now. Is there any
shot? At ten said, this is

1112
01:32:58.439 --> 01:33:02.600
beyond the reach our goal, This
is impossibility. The world as the leaders

1113
01:33:02.640 --> 01:33:05.600
of the world, the intellectuals,
have said, we need to get to

1114
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:09.319
net zero by twenty fifty, get
rid of all coal, oil, and

1115
01:33:09.399 --> 01:33:15.479
natural gas capture emissions wherever we can. I hope your listeners know that nothing

1116
01:33:15.600 --> 01:33:19.479
we do is zero emissions. If
you build any kind of building and you

1117
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:23.720
put copper in it, you put
glass in it, and you put ceramic

1118
01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:28.359
in it, and steel and wood, all of those things emit carbon dioxide

1119
01:33:28.399 --> 01:33:33.119
emissions when they're created and when they're
transported. You can't even build a grass

1120
01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:36.880
hut that is zero missions. If
you cut down grass and you cut down

1121
01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:40.560
wood and build a hut, you
emit carbon dioxide. I mean, that's

1122
01:33:40.640 --> 01:33:43.960
just the way the world is,
so we're not going to get to net

1123
01:33:44.079 --> 01:33:46.880
zero. This is going to crash
and that's part of the coming Green Breakdown.

1124
01:33:47.560 --> 01:33:51.239
Where can people get your book,
Steve, Yeah, they can go

1125
01:33:51.279 --> 01:33:56.079
to my website Steve Gorham G O
R E H A M dot com and

1126
01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:59.960
I'll send them a signed copy.
It's also on Amazon. There are ebooks

1127
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:04.079
as well. And educate yourselves and
push back on your political leaders. And

1128
01:34:04.479 --> 01:34:11.000
I'm that solar field they're trying to
put next to your house, and let's

1129
01:34:11.039 --> 01:34:15.279
get back to low cost, reliable
energy. Indeed, here here, Steve

1130
01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:20.359
Gorham, Green Breakdown is the book. Pick it up while you can before

1131
01:34:20.439 --> 01:34:28.319
they outlaw it because of the great
carbon emissions that were used in producing the

1132
01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:30.880
book. Steve Gorham, thank you
very much, sir. Thanks Hey,

1133
01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:33.840
Joe, you got it. It's
the night Cap and it continues on seven

1134
01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:41.239
hundred WLW. If you're in Hardikinzunki, there's the McCoy family Cemetery which is

1135
01:34:41.399 --> 01:34:45.119
owned by a Hatfield. But unless
you can prove you're a blood relation,

1136
01:34:45.479 --> 01:34:48.039
you are not allowed in tarn it. But you can always listen to the

1137
01:34:48.079 --> 01:34:54.640
seven hundred WLW live stream wherever you
are on the iHeartRadio app, worry Less

1138
01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:58.239
about spring cleaning and call zero s
Carbon and Air Dark Cleaning. Now mention

1139
01:34:58.399 --> 01:35:02.279
me Bill Cunningham Carper Claim joining us
now in studio of the Nightcap. Our

1140
01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:08.520
friend Rocco Costelano. You're a Jeff
with you on seven outter WLW. Rocco

1141
01:35:08.600 --> 01:35:15.199
of course of trained with Roco dot
com, our biohacker and a fitness guy

1142
01:35:15.399 --> 01:35:18.680
overall. I like to call him
the dawn of the first family of fitness

1143
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:24.159
in the Tri State. And we
need the we need the Godfather theme behind

1144
01:35:24.279 --> 01:35:28.239
us, I guess. But barring
that, we'll make the most out of

1145
01:35:28.760 --> 01:35:30.479
what we've got here. Roco.
And I've got to tell you to start

1146
01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:36.680
with, because you always give me
some really great suggestions of being well,

1147
01:35:36.840 --> 01:35:40.760
of being healthy. That's the point
of having you on here, because a

1148
01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:46.119
lot of people don't understand how important
some things are to your own personal health,

1149
01:35:46.199 --> 01:35:49.119
and they never think about it.
Of course, they're never told about

1150
01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:53.720
it in the mainstream media because there
are too many people looking to make money

1151
01:35:53.800 --> 01:35:58.960
off of their illness. So so
that's not truth. I mean that's absolutely

1152
01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:04.159
words were better spoken. So so
welcome, And the question I have this

1153
01:36:04.319 --> 01:36:13.720
week just because seemingly more than ever
before, my television has been inundated with

1154
01:36:14.039 --> 01:36:20.279
ads for laxatives, for different kinds
of laxatives, And I just wondered if

1155
01:36:20.319 --> 01:36:25.199
there's a good laxative on the market, or should you even have to take

1156
01:36:25.319 --> 01:36:27.960
laxatives at all? And I have
a feeling I know what your answer is

1157
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:31.359
going to be, but I just
wanted to put it out there because a

1158
01:36:31.439 --> 01:36:36.680
lot of people apparently there's a market
for people who need an easy pass,

1159
01:36:38.439 --> 01:36:44.680
so to speak. Well, I
did. You're also asking me this because

1160
01:36:45.119 --> 01:36:49.279
you're saying that a lot of your
if your listeners are getting older and they're

1161
01:36:49.439 --> 01:36:56.319
having troubles asking you because I'm having
a problem with constipation, Rackel, what

1162
01:36:56.520 --> 01:37:01.399
should I do? What should this
is? This is now a personal reference,

1163
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:06.479
right, this is a personal audience
with the Rocco Pope to find out

1164
01:37:06.560 --> 01:37:14.720
about my own constipation jammed up in
jelly type. Well, so there is

1165
01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:19.359
really no good laxative out there.
Just to put that out there, there's

1166
01:37:19.800 --> 01:37:30.920
now Now can you use a laxative
for h to temporarily get over whatever impass

1167
01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:40.119
you might have? Right? Yes, I don't recommend any of the any

1168
01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:44.199
of the storeboard laxatives out there,
because even the ones that claim to be

1169
01:37:44.399 --> 01:37:47.159
natural, well, you know,
everything's natural now. I mean, if

1170
01:37:47.239 --> 01:37:53.279
it has if it's if it's carbon
based, you can label it. You

1171
01:37:53.359 --> 01:37:57.920
can label it. Yeah yeah.
So so it's kind of like stuff that

1172
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.319
would never had gluten in it now
has gluten free on the top. Oh

1173
01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:06.680
yeah, it's just marketing like like
like a popsicle is now gluten free.

1174
01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:16.039
But anyway, soives and so alaxatives. I I don't like people are using

1175
01:38:16.159 --> 01:38:24.640
a laxives because, uh, the
intestinal track is a muscular system. So

1176
01:38:25.479 --> 01:38:31.399
so there's something called uh uh,
well a peristalsis, okay, And peristalsis

1177
01:38:32.079 --> 01:38:40.600
is the is the intestinal tracks a
muscular a contraction and when it does that,

1178
01:38:41.399 --> 01:38:48.199
it literally pushes the waste through your
intestinal track from the small antestine to

1179
01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:55.079
the well, from the colon too
small to large and then and so that's

1180
01:38:55.199 --> 01:39:04.079
why I don't like to atrophy that
muscular contraction because the walls of your intestine

1181
01:39:04.399 --> 01:39:11.279
are are actually a muscle. So
when you use laxatives, you'll and on

1182
01:39:11.560 --> 01:39:15.159
a regular basis, not intimittently,
you know, every every you know,

1183
01:39:15.439 --> 01:39:20.119
like once every a couple of years. What you're saying is when you actually

1184
01:39:20.600 --> 01:39:30.800
are using you're properly your natural system. You're actually exercising your intestines. You're

1185
01:39:30.840 --> 01:39:32.640
supposed to be yeah, oh no, no, absolutely yeah, And so

1186
01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:40.640
if you that's why, like that
whole adage about eat your roughage and and

1187
01:39:40.760 --> 01:39:45.279
all that, that's really not a
great thing to do because you actually atrophy.

1188
01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:53.239
You're now it's it's good for your
gut to to take in a ruffage

1189
01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:58.560
for the prebiotics and the post biotics
and the fiber, but taken in too

1190
01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:01.800
much fiber. And that's what a
lot of the laxatives are. You're just

1191
01:40:02.000 --> 01:40:08.600
overloading your system with fiber. Yes, you're just and and you're using that

1192
01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:15.000
fiber to do what peristalsis is supposed
to be doing. It's just pushing.

1193
01:40:15.439 --> 01:40:19.479
It's just helping ease the push.
Well, you're not supposed to. It's

1194
01:40:19.479 --> 01:40:27.319
supposed to be a muscular a contraction
and then so what but it's not supposed

1195
01:40:27.319 --> 01:40:30.479
to it's not supposed to be like
childbirth though it's not. It's not.

1196
01:40:30.640 --> 01:40:36.239
So that's the reason why you want
to always make sure that are your hydrated

1197
01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:43.000
and you have all your minerals in
you so a phosphorus, sodium, a

1198
01:40:43.079 --> 01:40:49.119
potassium, especially a potassium, and
and then a magnesium. And there's there's

1199
01:40:49.399 --> 01:40:55.680
a better ways now. A lot
of times when people are like clogged up

1200
01:40:55.880 --> 01:41:02.119
or the or they're stopped up,
what I recommend is to do a vitamin

1201
01:41:02.239 --> 01:41:10.159
C powder flush. And so you
can get us some some ascorbic acid powder.

1202
01:41:10.600 --> 01:41:14.479
You put it in some water and
you take it, uh, you

1203
01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:20.479
take it every hour on the hour
until you literally get a diarrhea. Now,

1204
01:41:21.520 --> 01:41:27.520
of course diarrhea is not the most
comfortable thing to do, but it

1205
01:41:28.520 --> 01:41:34.239
the vitamin C flush actually breaks up
whatever is clogging you. And most of

1206
01:41:34.359 --> 01:41:39.840
the time, just for your listeners
to know, is that when you get

1207
01:41:39.920 --> 01:41:45.359
constipated, a lot of the time
it's kind of like a clogged artery.

1208
01:41:46.079 --> 01:41:53.520
Your waiste starts to stick to the
side walls of your of your intestine.

1209
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:58.319
There's never a time where you just
have this big hunk of like poop and

1210
01:41:58.520 --> 01:42:01.840
it's it's just right there and it's
just blocking everything. It's usually a build

1211
01:42:01.960 --> 01:42:08.279
up over over time. And so
that's why I like doing a vitamin C

1212
01:42:08.479 --> 01:42:15.000
flush or just taking you know,
just taking a little more a little more

1213
01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:26.439
a magnesium and so so then a
magnesium and then also h like the vitamin

1214
01:42:26.520 --> 01:42:31.560
C flush and then if if it's
not really that crazy and you're not really

1215
01:42:31.680 --> 01:42:35.760
that stopped up, but you're feeling
a little un you know, a little

1216
01:42:35.920 --> 01:42:42.960
easy, Yeah, you can take
some EMC TE oil and and take like

1217
01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:48.439
a teaspoon and a half to like
three teaspoons and and you'll be flowing perfectly.

1218
01:42:48.560 --> 01:42:53.760
Now where do I get MCT oil? You get empty oil. I'm

Now is the time you get your

1239
01:44:40.600 --> 01:44:45.880
think that it's it's a subject that
while is, you know, maybe icky

1240
01:44:45.000 --> 01:44:48.359
to explore for some, it's something
we all have to deal with. Let's

1241
01:44:48.399 --> 01:44:51.640
face it, as human beings,
and well, if you're not pooping,

1242
01:44:53.159 --> 01:44:57.760
you're not living you're not living.
That's really that needs to be a bumper

1243
01:44:57.880 --> 01:45:00.840
sticker. If you're not pooping,
you're not living, baby, You're not.

1244
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:04.920
And and here's just a few.
I know this is going to get

1245
01:45:05.000 --> 01:45:12.439
even more gross as we start.
Well no, no, whenever, oh

1246
01:45:12.439 --> 01:45:15.239
no no. But I'm just saying, like people are going to be listening

1247
01:45:15.319 --> 01:45:19.880
and the why are they talking about
poop? Well, healthy poop just to

1248
01:45:20.000 --> 01:45:28.039
let you know, okay needs to
be a light clay Coloray, okay,

1249
01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:35.119
So when your guts working on all
twelve cylinders, you're your poop needs to

1250
01:45:35.239 --> 01:45:43.039
be a light brown a clay will
color. And the darker it gets,

1251
01:45:44.279 --> 01:45:47.439
the worst your gut is. And
and most likely whenever it's like it's like

1252
01:45:47.560 --> 01:45:53.119
a black or a dark brown.
A black. You're taking in a way

1253
01:45:53.159 --> 01:45:58.680
too much sugar, So you know, stop eating the Oreo cookies and the

1254
01:45:58.760 --> 01:46:03.119
pop dots. And when I was
still drinking to excess, I still drink

1255
01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:08.199
too much. But when I was
drinking to real excess, the yeah,

1256
01:46:09.159 --> 01:46:12.680
what was the result was not good? It was black? It was brown,

1257
01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:16.680
you know, dark brown. It
wasn't And I've noticed that since I'm

1258
01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:23.600
not doing that anymore, I have
more regular bowel movements. And you know,

1259
01:46:23.640 --> 01:46:29.399
we were having this discussion Roco about
the NFL Combine and the draft that's

1260
01:46:29.520 --> 01:46:33.119
just coming up, and well,
are you are you equating the NFL to

1261
01:46:33.239 --> 01:46:40.399
boop? Now, well, let
me connect the dots boy to this conversation.

1262
01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:45.119
And I was just thinking that along
with all the tests they do at

1263
01:46:45.159 --> 01:46:49.239
the NFL combines, where these all
thirty two NFL teams gather in a place

1264
01:46:49.319 --> 01:46:55.800
like Indianapolis like they did last week
or whenever it was, to try again

1265
01:46:56.159 --> 01:47:00.920
ascertain what they're going to do when
the draft, which come up next month

1266
01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:05.600
in April. And you know,
they do all these measurements of these players,

1267
01:47:06.720 --> 01:47:11.399
good college football players from all around
the country that are appearing at the

1268
01:47:11.560 --> 01:47:15.640
combine to show their wares so to
speak. Yeah, bench pressing, they

1269
01:47:15.720 --> 01:47:18.239
do, the weights, they do, the forty they do, the leaping,

1270
01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:21.880
the jumping, Yeah, a vertical
jump, a vertical jump. And

1271
01:47:23.560 --> 01:47:29.439
do you think since NFL teams invest
so much money in these young players,

1272
01:47:30.520 --> 01:47:33.479
they'd want to find out what their
gut health was like? Do you think

1273
01:47:33.560 --> 01:47:38.720
that they should be required to provide
a stool sample at the NFL Combine.

1274
01:47:38.800 --> 01:47:44.880
So so, the players, you
know, are putting their entire body of

1275
01:47:45.000 --> 01:47:49.159
work, so to speak, their
entire health out there to be evaluated.

1276
01:47:49.359 --> 01:47:53.640
I mean, they do the interview
where they want to find out, you

1277
01:47:53.720 --> 01:47:56.800
know, what the condition of the
player's mind is. Wouldn't it be important

1278
01:47:56.840 --> 01:48:00.079
for them to know the condition of
the player's gut. Well, I'm a

1279
01:48:00.119 --> 01:48:05.159
big testing guy. I really like
for people to be tested for for really

1280
01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:13.000
everything, and and especially now.
I mean I don't know if I would

1281
01:48:13.039 --> 01:48:16.399
go as as far as to checking
the poop, but it's not a bad

1282
01:48:16.640 --> 01:48:21.560
idea now that you bring it up, because I don't think that they do

1283
01:48:23.199 --> 01:48:28.560
enough at the combine. I've been
to many many a combine oh yeah,

1284
01:48:28.760 --> 01:48:36.239
oh yeah, and and they don't
do they do ridiculous testing and nobody nothing

1285
01:48:36.399 --> 01:48:44.039
equates from your bench press or your
squats or your deadlifts or or or even

1286
01:48:44.159 --> 01:48:49.319
at the forty that doesn't. There's
there's so many better, uh like testing,

1287
01:48:49.680 --> 01:48:56.640
Like there's sensor testing and and you
know what I would have like blood

1288
01:48:56.720 --> 01:49:02.960
tests and also a poop test to
see if they're if they're healthy health.

1289
01:49:03.319 --> 01:49:08.920
You know, a gut health leads
to brain health and and you know,

1290
01:49:09.119 --> 01:49:15.479
if you have a guy who has
been playing football for you know, since

1291
01:49:15.520 --> 01:49:19.439
he was in Peewee's. I would
want to know about his gut health.

1292
01:49:19.600 --> 01:49:23.920
Actually, I would want to know
about his brain up. I want to

1293
01:49:23.960 --> 01:49:27.520
see. I want to see scans. I want to see and then you

1294
01:49:27.640 --> 01:49:32.319
could test. We have beautiful censors
out there now, and you put like

1295
01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:38.000
the censors on you and you and
you run and you jump and you do

1296
01:49:38.640 --> 01:49:44.680
all these different things, and they
can actually tell you if you're going if

1297
01:49:44.960 --> 01:49:50.439
if you have the potential to get
injured. Now, these people they pay

1298
01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:56.560
so much money, I mean millions
and millions of dollars, and they're not

1299
01:49:56.920 --> 01:50:00.680
doing the right thing. I was
talking tomorrow or the other day, you

1300
01:50:00.760 --> 01:50:09.319
know, at the party about about
how bad these people don't take care of

1301
01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:14.439
the of their players. They just
don't take care of them. They're they're

1302
01:50:14.479 --> 01:50:18.279
basically a number that costs millions of
dollars. And it drives me great.

1303
01:50:18.600 --> 01:50:28.359
And I'm not surprised that Joe Burrows
kept everything secret and went outside of Cincinnati

1304
01:50:28.720 --> 01:50:34.359
to get his risk fixed, because
it's I don't see anything good in the

1305
01:50:34.640 --> 01:50:40.279
in the NFL anymore. And these
teams need to start taking care of these

1306
01:50:40.359 --> 01:50:44.039
young men. And it's not just
the NFL. You talk about Major League

1307
01:50:44.039 --> 01:50:47.359
Baseball that, well, major League
Baseball. The Cincinnati Reds drive me absolutely

1308
01:50:47.439 --> 01:50:54.680
insane. Their pitchers are getting hurt
and they're barely they're barely pitching and hit

1309
01:50:55.119 --> 01:50:59.520
like they used to. I mean, guys out there and they're getting a

1310
01:50:59.640 --> 01:51:04.000
Tommy john A surgery every other day
now, and that's like, that's a

1311
01:51:04.239 --> 01:51:11.279
serious misalignment when you're throwing. I
mean, I could go on and on.

1312
01:51:11.520 --> 01:51:16.079
I mean, you you hit a
really, really a big hotspot with

1313
01:51:16.520 --> 01:51:21.199
with me, because I think that
the Reds need to just flush their whole

1314
01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:28.279
medical team down the toilet and start
new and build new, because there's technologies

1315
01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:34.079
and there's and there's modalities out there
that should be in every single training room,

1316
01:51:34.239 --> 01:51:38.840
you know, like class four laises. Every single room should have a

1317
01:51:38.920 --> 01:51:44.600
Class folaiser, a PMF, a
cold plunges, and they should have a

1318
01:51:44.680 --> 01:51:48.479
massage chairs. They should literally have
you know, a human touch a massage

1319
01:51:48.560 --> 01:51:53.279
chair or like three you know,
for these guys. But you know,

1320
01:51:53.359 --> 01:51:56.399
I've told my wife the same thing. We need to get that massage chair,

1321
01:51:56.479 --> 01:52:00.359
honey. Well well, and and
you would be right, so well,

1322
01:52:00.600 --> 01:52:05.239
yeah, because because I'd like to
score some more touchdowns at home,

1323
01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:09.079
if you know what I mean exactly, And I got to be relaxed and

1324
01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:14.319
in shape to do that well.
And when you're more relaxed, everything else

1325
01:52:14.399 --> 01:52:20.680
flows. That's right. Just circling
back, it makes it easier to spike

1326
01:52:20.760 --> 01:52:25.279
the ball in the end zone.
There you go, Rocco Costellano, my

1327
01:52:25.520 --> 01:52:29.680
friend, my pads On. It's
good to see you, brother, always,

1328
01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:33.640
always great to be here. This
is the nightcap at seven hundred WLW.

1329
01:52:34.439 --> 01:52:39.279
Well, that's it. That's all, folks for this nightcap. Tomorrow

1330
01:52:39.399 --> 01:52:45.279
we may be with you briefly in
this half hour after Red Spring Training baseball.

1331
01:52:45.119 --> 01:52:51.000
Yes, tis the season, and
we're now just what seventeen days away

1332
01:52:51.840 --> 01:52:56.600
less than that from the start of
the regular Red season here in the home

1333
01:52:56.640 --> 01:52:59.319
of the Reds, and we'll bring
you all those games throughout the spring and

1334
01:52:59.359 --> 01:53:03.239
summer one they begin in earnest.
But tomorrow night a spring training tilt to

1335
01:53:03.359 --> 01:53:10.560
give you a listen to what could
be a really exciting season again for our

1336
01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:14.159
Cincinnati Reds, your Cincinnati Reds.
With that, I'm out of here,

1337
01:53:14.840 --> 01:53:19.039
and we always like to end by
the playing of the Star Spangled banner,

1338
01:53:19.680 --> 01:53:23.880
with the playing of our Star Spangled
Banner, the national anthem as we close

1339
01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:27.920
this night cap to honor America.
On seven hundred WLW
