00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:05.480
Once again. Time to bring in
the great prognosticator that happens to be my

wife, christ to two point zero
after Week twelve of the NFL season with

3
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.960
her game picks. She doesn't do
point spreads, just picks winners and losers.

4
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:20.359
She bounced back and was twelve and
four. So Week thirteen, baby,

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.960
Big d Dallas doesn't lose games at

Buccaneers with their bucking helmets, the
fort Over they're bucking heads, that's right.

19

20
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:15.879
Fly Eagle Fly. Cleveland Browns up
against the Los Angeles Rams in La Rams.

21
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:23.080
Okay, my Kansas City Chiefs who
did beat the Raiders this weekend on

22
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.120
the road at lambeau Field to play
the Green Bay Packers. Who wins the

23
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:38.159
Chiefs Packers game the Chefs and the
Bengals play the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

24
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.240
I'm gonna go with the Bengals.
You think the Bengals are gonna beat

25
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:51.080
the Jags? That a girl?
Yeah, all right, Well we'll see

26
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.520
how you do, my dear.
It's like I said, it was nice

27
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.360
to bounce back week eleven. You
did not do well. You were like

28
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.520
four and eleven. No, it's
not, but last week you had lots

29
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.599
to give thanks for. And again, if you're way above five hundred on

30
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.199
the season with these game picks,
if you were betting fifty dollars for each

31
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.599
of these games to win, you'd
be ahead of the money. And I

32
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.120
probably wouldn't have to do this.
No, I wouldn't have to work this

33
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.199
thing. Ah, there you go. Okay, but you'd share right,

34
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.120
right of course. Okay, baby, love you see you when I get

35
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.479
home. All right, all right, be careful walker. And our old

36
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:37.439
friend, and I don't mean to
carp at his age, because I think

37
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.680
I may have a year or two
on him. But our old friend,

38
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:45.120
old radio Rick Rick Washburn, who
has been on this program many times in

39
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.800
the past on our American History on
the Radio segment. We've got another one

40
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.879
of those tonight, and I'm excited
about it. Ricky. How are you?

41
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.840
Hey? I'm doing great, Gary, Jeff And yeah, you got

42
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.879
it warned a couple of years on
me, buddy, But yeah, we're

43
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.599
up there. You're not doing too
badly for an old friend. What were

44
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.240
we focusing on tonight? What are
you going to talk about? So a

45
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:13.039
little bit off of the history on
the radio idea, This is more about

46
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.639
I call it the good, the
funny, and the ugly. It is

47
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:21.160
some interesting details about a few radio
stations, including WLW, and then want

48
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:28.079
to tell the three part tragic tale
of a radio station in Atlanta that just

49
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.319
proves that not just because you're in
management, maybe you don't have all the

50
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:36.160
answers. Indeed, there's no question
about that. I see examples of that,

51
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.839
not recently, but I've seen plenty. Anyway, Before I get myself

52
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.639
into a corner here, let's let's
get with the good. Indeed, well,

53
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.040
okay, so we got to give
the shout out to WLW, and

54
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:57.199
we know that that station, your
station has been around forever, seemingly,

55
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.360
and at one time it is the
only station in the US that ever transmitted

56
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:06.480
at five hundred thousand watts correct is
during the nineteen thirties and with it was

57
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:14.040
basically a government experiment, and it
worked wonderfully well in terms of reception and

58
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.680
being able to even reach out to
troops overseas and so forth. It didn't

59
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:26.480
work out so well unfortunately for individuals
who that lived near the transmitting tower.

60
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.360
Let's say the stories about you know, picking up the radio station on your

61
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:39.120
braces, on your plumbing toilets,
right exactly. The RF can be incredible

62
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.680
just with a regular one thousand wat
transmitter or a tower near you. If

63
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.839
you've got five hundred thousand watts coming
at you, the milk out of those

64
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.319
cows is going to glow. There's
no question. Oh yes. And you

65
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.399
know they always say in the military, and even one of your guests on

66
00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:00.279
Saturday, the gym guy I forgot
his name, Rocco. Yeah, Rocco.

67
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.959
When you put the cell phone to
your head, you're putting a transmitter

68
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.519
right next to your brain. The
military always says, don't do that.

69
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.360
Ham radio operators learn, don't do
that. I'm going with their advice,

70
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.079
so I use the speaker phone anytime
I can. Yes, sir, I'm

71
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:21.360
the same way now, and don't
walk underneath the five hundred thousand transmitting tower.

72
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.600
Trust me at one end. Well, all right, so that's that's

73
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.240
kind of a good highlight. You
said you had good, funny and ugly.

74
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.319
What's what's funny? Well okay,
well, okay, so I was

75
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.120
going to call out one. I
think it's funny because it's one of those

76
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:45.560
weird contests like the University of Texas
and Purdue University always argue about which one

77
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.839
of their marching bands has the world's
largest based drum. That's a good use

78
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:56.199
of time. Katie KA is credited
with the first commercial broadcast, but there

79
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:01.600
are those who claim that CBS in
Los Angeles, it's me I actually had

80
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.920
the first commercial broadcast. What's the
truth, Well, since there were tape

81
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:12.879
recorders around, there were not everybody
cut every copies of every single transmission.

82
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.319
Kind of hard to tell. And
then another interesting fact about Katieka being the

83
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.959
only station with call letters starting with
K that's east of the Mississippi. It

84
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:29.079
wasn't because the standard didn't exist yet
that W was east of the Mississippi and

85
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.000
K was west of the Mississippi.
But it was just that there a hope.

86
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:39.680
They used to give call letters to
maritime operators votes every single one of

87
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.519
them had a transmitter. They were
running out of letters pretty quick, so

88
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.319
they decided to stop doing that and
they recycled them and KATIEKA was assigned in

89
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.879
the station, had the opportunity to
change to A to a W call letter

90
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.759
and they chose not to. Yeah, Katieka is not the only one though.

91
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:03.240
There's KYW in Philadelphia, and for
an example of west of the Mississippi

92
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.639
with AW, there is WHO in
Des Moines, Iowa, and there is

93
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:16.680
WOW in Omaha, Nebraska. So
there are some stations that crossed the line

94
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.959
while crossing the line, but Katika, probably first and foremost, is the

95
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.000
one that everybody thinks of because of
that first commercial broadcast in nineteen twenty.

96
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.039
The nineteen twenty harding Cock's election results
were apparently commercially sponsored. Who would do

97
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.600
that? I have no idea.
I was just updating my biography to mention

98
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.360
that as of eight forty seven this
morning, I knew everything. I'm going

99
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:50.200
to have to take that down.
You're the expert. You're supposed to know,

100
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.480
all right, I haven't known everything
since I was seventeen years old.

101
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.399
That's great. I love that.
What other stories do you have? For

102
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:05.080
as old Rick on the Wow WOWO
in Fort Wayne, Indiana, whoa there?

103
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.879
Yeah, well they're on air.
Talent was said, don't ever call

104
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.240
it wo wo until in the nineteen
sixties they had a contest for listeners to

105
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.039
find the whoa sound in current songs
on the radio when money was paid whatever,

106
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.919
And after that it be kind it
became wo wo and they embraced it

107
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.200
is their thing. But what I
thought was funny too about them was WLW

108
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.200
World's loudest wireless or now as you
would say, world's lowest wages. Yes,

109
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.840
WGN was World's greatest newspaper, and
WOO was dubbed Wayne as in Fort

110
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:52.639
Wayne offers wonderful opportunities. Well contrived, but they tried. Geez well,

111
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.799
WSM and Nashville stood for we serve
millions. Oh that's nice, not bad.

112
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.840
And I'm trying to think of some
other call letters that actually stood for

113
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.679
something besides the station itself and identifying
the station, and there are plenty of

114
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.879
them out there. Also in Nashville, WLAC was owned by the Life and

115
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.679
Casualty insurance company. Oh, there
you go. I think WSM in Nashville

116
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.679
was the home of the grand O
Lotpry was owned by an insurance company as

117
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:30.200
well. At the start the speaking
of insurance, well, okay, that's

118
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:35.480
a stretch. But the WOHO always
jokes about having the world famous fire escape,

119
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.240
and part of that came because in
nineteen seventy seven, when they were

120
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.159
starting to get used to their new
location. Back then, WOAH was a

121
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.679
fifty thousand watt clear channel station.
There were a flame thrower, and the

122
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:54.840
on air host was very popular.
Bob Severs took his first on air walk

123
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.639
out of the fire escape, and
he was on the air when he did

124
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.600
it, and people knew and every
car driving by would honk and wave at

125
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.600
him. And it's just showed how
popular they were, especially in Fort Wayne.

126
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.960
Not surprisingly, and of course they
get the world famous part because they

127
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.919
were received up into Canada without any
problem. But the thing I thought was

128
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:20.759
funny is they still talk about and
I don't think the situation is true anymore.

129
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.759
I'm not sure, but they always
talk about, you know, the

130
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.399
weather. They report the weather from
the world famous fire escape. Well,

131
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.840
it turns out that when smoking was
no longer allowed in the studios was probably

132
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.360
back in the eighties or early nineties, the world famous fire escape was where

133
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.200
all the employees and on air talent
whatever, they'd go out there to catch

134
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.159
a smoke, but there was a
sign on the door that required them to

135
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.240
note what the weather was like and
report back to the on air talent.

136
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.919
So instead of a meteorologist, which
at the time they couldn't afford, they

137
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.759
just got the up todate whether of
whatever was happening at the studio. I

138
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.639
mean, you know what media urologist
is about the same as a chainsmoker.

139
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:11.440
They just they just used different pointers. So so get to the let's get

140
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.639
to the ugly. I want to
get into this story because I love this

141
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.639
story. Uh okay, well,
you know one of the you know,

142
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.759
one of my favorite TV shows is
WKRP in Cincinnati, And I bring that

143
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.200
up because and I'm sure you're in
the same boat if I expect you've watched

144
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.240
the show. But I'm sure you're
in the same boat where some of the

145
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.360
jokes really land because I briefly and
your entire career has been spent in a

146
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.919
radio station and there's always those situations
that are either uncomfortable or unfathomable or whatever,

147
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.320
and you just you really get the
joke more than the average person was,

148
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.120
even though it's still funny. Kind
of like watching Airplane. One time,

149
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.399
I watched it with a retired air
traffic controller and he laughed at jokes

150
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.840
that I didn't think were funny,
but once he explained them to me,

151
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.200
it's like, oh, air traffic
controllers and pilots would be the one who

152
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.440
really got that joke. It's like
telling plumber jokes to a plumber. Nobody

153
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.879
else gets it but the plumber.
Uh, you know, you're just You're

154
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.840
just one. You're just one p
trap away from hilarity anyway, Yes,

155
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:22.159
So what was the So the point
is that the interesting thing I thought about

156
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.759
the bu KRP is from the documentaries
and the commentaries, they point out that

157
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.120
they were never at a loss for
plot point ideas because fans and other folk

158
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.399
and friends and what have you.
Advisors would all give them true stories of

159
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.360
what happened at different radio stations.
Even the infamous Turkey Day celebration episode where

160
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.320
they threw live turkeys out of a
helicopter was loosely based on something that actually

161
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.080
happened to the station in Florida.
So I mean that there are some crazy

162
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.759
stories that go on the stations.
And now what I'm going to present here

163
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.480
is in three parts, and it's
not particularly funny enough to go to the

164
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.799
WKRP ryder Droom plus is a little
late. Can you do it? Can

165
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.679
you do? Can you do it? In five minutes? If I don't

166
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.480
interrupt, I can all right,
I can't go ahead? Go ahead?

167
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.320
Okay, So we're talking twenty five
or thirty years ago. There's basically three

168
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.360
stations in Atlanta that do news talk. There's WCNN. They left the market

169
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.759
soon after. Wen't enough advertisers WSB
very much like WLW fifty thousand watt am

170
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:35.159
flamethrower, mostly local talent, and
they killed the ratings in every time slot.

171
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.320
And then there was WGST, which
actually stood for Georgia was the Georgia

172
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.000
State Technology University or something like that. It was a very low power AM

173
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.480
simulcast on a low power FM station. You couldn't even pick it up all

174
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:58.919
around Atlanta. But the very young
management there were convinced that they were the

175
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.480
smartest ever. They were going to
make this station the greatest things in slice

176
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.799
spread and even put the fifty thousand
flamethrowder shame. And the one thing that

177
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.639
they did early on which was smart
is somehow they got Rush Limbaugh from noon

178
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:20.000
to three, right, and okay, so the interesting thing is this part

179
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.480
one, which is very quick.
One day, during Rush Limbaugh's show,

180
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.639
he was talking about an upcoming presidential
election, talking about the primary candidates,

181
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.200
what they were up to and some
of the really stupid things every one of

182
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.879
them said, and Rush just made
an offhanded comment, at this rate,

183
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.320
I should run for president. Well
he was obviously kidding, but at the

184
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.639
news break, WGST broke into breaking
news and the news director announces, Rush

185
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:54.000
Limbaugh announce it is kendidate for president. Your candidacy for president now, no

186
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.559
doubt people listening to WGST, like
myself at the time, either called or

187
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.919
emailed. I did. I was
in the car. But when Rush came

188
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.600
back after the top of the hour, he had this to say, Oh,

189
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.799
actually you want to do the you
know the story, you want to

190
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:12.600
do the impression. Here in my
formerly oxy cotton stained fingers, I have

191
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:22.360
a fax from WGST in Atlanta.
Apparently apparently they think that I'm running for

192
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:29.080
president. Friends, there is a
great lesson to be learned from what has

193
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:36.080
happened with this announcement. Those who
can do, those who cannot teach,

194
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:45.679
and those who can't do or teach
apparently become news director at WGST in Atlantaka,

195
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.399
you nailed it all right, So
the rest of the story goes and

196
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:55.639
so okay. Obviously the management WGST
was none too happy about this quote unquote

197
00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:00.399
shout out that they got licking their
wounds, and especially the news direct Oh,

198
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.319
they wanted revenge. Well, when
the what is it the armatron ratings

199
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:08.559
whatever, the quarterly ratings. Okay, they came out, and they noticed

200
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:17.039
too. They noticed that Rush on
their station was losing to WSB, who,

201
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:21.720
because they couldn't compete with Rush with
a political show, had Doctor Laura

202
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.920
on. And they thought, wait
a minute, Doctor Laura is syndicated by

203
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:30.519
the same company that owns our station. So they giggled in themselves and put

204
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:37.160
in the requirement to move Doctor Laura
off of WSB, move her to WGST,

205
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.960
so they could trample WSB in the
ratings, and and they tried not

206
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.480
to tell WSB for a long time. Course WSB their managements treatment, you're

207
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:55.039
taking doctor Laura away and we can
pick up Rush. Okay, Yeah,

208
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.680
Well, when the ratings came out, of course, Rush on WSB just

209
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.880
it was a record breaker of ratings
for that time slot for Atlanta for decades,

210
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.480
no doubt. But then again,
when you're competing between fifty thousand watts

211
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.559
and five thousand watts, your fifty
thousand watch station's gonna have more listeners.

212
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.599
And there's more too than that,
of course, But anyway, Oh so

213
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:22.039
now they're really embarrassed, and since
Rush isn't there anymore, they start to

214
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.319
hamorrhage advertisers and what little money they
had coming in went down. Now there

215
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.400
was a young fella. They were
going through morning hosts like Murphy Brown,

216
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.960
went through secretaries, but they finally
found a young guy named Sean Hannity who

217
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.960
seemed to do okay, and he
went syndicated and got them some fame in

218
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.279
some listeners. But anyways, they
hit a lull after the syndication of Sean

219
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.400
Hannity, and so finally they came
up with a brilliant idea, and that

220
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.920
was that there was a ten minutes
after takeoff, the Value Jet flight five

221
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:59.599
ninety two from Miami and bound for
Atlanta crashed in the Everglades and every everybody

222
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.680
on board and perished. It was
just, of course, they're all tragedies,

223
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.599
but this one was just remember the
news and went on and on and

224
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.200
on because the FAA recovered the black
box, and there was a long series

225
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.920
of investigations. Well, when they
were all done, the standard operating procedures,

226
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.200
the FAA would release all the data
from the black box, plus a

227
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.680
very extremely detailed transcript of the audio. Right, and keep in mind this

228
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.759
is pre two thousand and one,
pre nine eleven, so the cockpit door

229
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.400
could have been wide open, so
you're picking up a lot of audio.

230
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.880
The GST management decided it would be
brilliant to get their on air talent and

231
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:44.039
other employees together and recreate the audio, and they hyped this. How horrific

232
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:49.759
is that people are literally everybody on
board lost their lives and they're recreating this

233
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.759
tragedy on it. That's insane.
I tell you what. We're out of

234
00:19:53.799 --> 00:20:00.200
time, Rick sadly, but that
is absolutely inexcusable and you could guess how

235
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.519
it ended. Is the end of
the story, yep, Rick Osburn,

236
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.119
thank you very much. A little
American history on the radio, more recent,

237
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.960
and we appreciate all the help.
Is always. We'll see you on

238
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.519
the radio on Saturday morning. My
friend got to take a break and come

239
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:29.000
back seven hundred WLW. I have
been looking forward to this conversation for quite

240
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.640
some time. It's been quite a
while, so let's get right to it.

241
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.680
Ryan Woods, Lady Maga USA joins
us once again on the program,

242
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.279
and Ryan, it is a pleasure. Thank you for making some time for

243
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.960
us. There's a lot going on. We got a little bit of time,

244
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:51.400
so let's get right into it.
Tell me about Chloe Coles who Chloe

245
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.359
is all right? Well, first, for those who are hearing us talk

246
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.680
for the first time. I'm Ryan
Woods. I play the character of Lady

247
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.920
maga Usa. I guess you could
call it a drag character, dress up

248
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.559
in a fabulous costume, but the
message is you can dress up, but

249
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.839
you're not a biological woman, and
you should not be in women's bathrooms or

250
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:18.640
women's sports or claiming that you're a
woman. So Chloe Cole here in Utah.

251
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.279
I worked with Senator Michael Kennedy and
we testified and we got Senate Bill

252
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:30.480
sixteen pass, which was the first
legislation in America in twenty twenty three that

253
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:37.880
prevented the sterilization and the mutilation of
children in the name of transgenderism. I

254
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:44.720
testified with a young lady named Chloe
Cole who was mutilated and drugged when she

255
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.599
was a young teen, and of
course, like most, she regretted what

256
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.279
happened to her because it was in
fact child abuse as a result of grooming.

257
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:59.279
So she's coming to Utah on the
thirtieth. She's a hero. She

258
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.279
has soccer, her youth, and
her life to travel the country and warn

259
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:10.279
people that these trans procedures on children
are not benign, they are not medically

260
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:15.839
necessary, they are in fact child
abuse. So I just I really think

261
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.440
the voices of de transitioners, which
is what she calls herself, are so

262
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:25.279
important, and of course they're ignored
by the leftist media. And the reason,

263
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.839
you know, I'm I believe in
lgb not LGBT. I say,

264
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.559
cut the tea the heck away from
common sense gay people like myself. I'm

265
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.960
just gay. I don't represent this
trans insanity that's happening across our nation,

266
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:45.119
but I do feel fairly passionate about
standing up against the sterilization and medicalization of

267
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:51.799
children because I was the little boy
that today they're telling is in the wrong

268
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.279
body. So I've always loved pink, I've always loved princess. You know,

269
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.920
I still dress up with make up
the whole nine yards. But I

270
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.359
I am a biological man, and
I have the blessing of living in my

271
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.960
biological body as the man that I
am, and children like I was are

272
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.200
being told you're in the wrong body. You like pink, you like barbies,

273
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.359
that means you're a girl. And
it's just terrifying because they've actually completely

274
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.400
eliminated the concept of you know,
a girl who's a tomboy or a little

275
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.359
boy who's just a little light on
his feet. You know, some little

276
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.119
boys aren't into sports, they're not
into Batman, And that doesn't mean they're

277
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.880
in the wrong body. It just
means they might have a more sensitive nature

278
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.759
and they like toys that are smiling
at them instead of toys that are based

279
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:44.519
in conflict. So Chloe Cole is
a very special advocate, and she and

280
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:49.119
I are sort of similar in that, you know, we stand up against

281
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:56.160
the LGBTQ mafia with common sense and
factual information. Actually, when I testified

282
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.319
in favor of Senate Bill sick scene, afterwards, I posted this on my

283
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:07.440
social media. People can just google
Lady Maga USA, and I posted this

284
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.640
video. There was a young girl
with a beard and she was screaming,

285
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.799
f you fu. You're ruining my
life. You're ruining my life with your

286
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.480
agenda. And I you know,
the video is of this young essentially a

287
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.440
child screaming at me. Why is
she screaming Because she's pumping her body full

288
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.200
of testosterone. And even a man
who pumps his body full of testosterone becomes

289
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:36.200
more aggressive, more mentally unstable.
And so I had to be escorted to

290
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:41.680
my car by the Capitol, Utah
State Capitol Police because a mob was forming

291
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.200
around me. So they consider me
a traitor because you know, I like

292
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.880
to dress up. I do the
drag character lady Maga. I've been doing

293
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.920
it for a number of years,
even before I did it politically, and

294
00:24:53.519 --> 00:25:00.880
they militantly require, you know,
that you adhere to their political agenda.

295
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.640
It's a beehive. You cannot leave
the hive, and if you do,

296
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.480
they will come after you. They
will slander you. You know, everywhere

297
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:14.920
from Rolling Stone magazine all over the
left just tries to credit and considers me

298
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:21.000
a trader. Ryan. You don't
dress up specifically for five year olds though,

299
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:26.480
No, exactly. No, I
don't have any desire to convince other

300
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.200
people's children to enjoy what I do. I do it for grown ups.

301
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:36.480
And I think this drag queen story
hour and this weird obsession with other people's

302
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:42.599
children is very abnormal and it's very
predatory. There is no mainstream LGBTQ activist

303
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:49.799
or organization like the Human Rights Campaign
GLAD or even Equality Utah here in Utah

304
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:55.400
that isn't focused on children, and
their focus is trans children because it's a

305
00:25:55.519 --> 00:26:00.960
very convenient victim narrative that makes them
look like the good guys savior of these

306
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.720
potentially suicidal children, and it's nonsense. They need to leave the kids the

307
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.200
hell alone. I know the answer, but I want you to tell anyone

308
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:17.880
listening the answer of why this is
a globalist attempt to take down our society,

309
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.759
the whole trans thing. Well,
the end goal this sounds like a

310
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.680
bit of a stretch, but it's
not. The end goal of the global

311
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:32.960
elite is a police state. And
so by destabilizing the mental health of a

312
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:40.799
population, by destroying the traditional family, by destroying the very important concepts of

313
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.960
gender and sex and the differences between
the sexes and how they can compliment one

314
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:52.839
another, by creating a drugged,
mentally unstable, emotionally volatile population, we

315
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.240
are more easy to control. So, just like black lives matter, just

316
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:03.440
like an open borders, like the
upcoming social credit scores, it's about control,

317
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.759
and it's about destabilizing what makes America
strong. In China, they don't

318
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:15.920
even allow of feminine men on public
television. They are laughing as TikTok is

319
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:21.720
pushing American and Western kids into this
nonsensical, evil transagenda, and they have

320
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.119
none of it. In China.
So that tells you right there that our

321
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:33.000
enemies are laughing as they destabilize and
destroy the fabric of our families and of

322
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.359
our young people. And so that's
what's behind the global elitists, you know,

323
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.480
starting with George Soros, they are
one, the World Economic Forum,

324
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:48.079
all of it. They are one
behind this transagenda because it ruins the lives

325
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.440
and the minds of these young children. And if you have a mentally unstable

326
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:56.400
population, it's a population that's easy
to control and make them live in fear.

327
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.759
I got thirty seconds, Ryan,
tell me where people can find your

328
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:06.200

333
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:33.960
seven hundred WLW. Listening to Scott
Sloane keeps me from scratching my jocket.

334
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.599
People have made some strange claims about
the Scott Sloane Show. Listening to Scott

335
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.759
Sloane helped me become a playgiarist.
We can promise you that Sloaney talks about

336
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.440
the things you are talking about.
Always ask the tough questions. Bud never

337
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:51.519
forgets to have a little fun.
Listening to Scott Sloan makes me feel sexy

338
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:55.960
on the inside. Anything else is
a Sloaney bonus. I swear it's true.

339
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:02.000
Scott Sloan tomorrow morning to nine on
seven hundred w W Reds Fans,

340
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:04.880
Now is the time to get your
twenty twenty four season tickets so you don't

341
00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:10.119
miss a moment with a season ticket
members. Also here he is Andy Furman.

342
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:12.559
How's that for a short intro?
Hey, that's great. I don't

343
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.640
know if you'd like to have lists
to say about Meia just I'm in the

344
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.920
doghouse. But I got a question
for you. It is amazing to me

345
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.400
that more people in this community.
I follow sports pretty highly and correctly the

346
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.799
way it should do. You said
you follow it pretty highly. Is that

347
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:33.680
what you said? Yeah? On
my list of priorities. All right,

348
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.640
yes, okay, more people are
upset with the Bengals loss than FC Cincinnati's

349
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:42.480
win. Think about that right,
Am I right or wrong? I mean

350
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:47.759
you mean more people are upset about
the Bengals loss than they are excited about

351
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.680
FC Cincinnati's moving on in the MLS. Play yes, yes, you got

352
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.720
it, and I don't get it. And all of a sudden, now

353
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.279
Zach Taylor was there, ready to
build a statue a year ago. I'm

354
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.960
here in caller's on sports talk shows
like they him gone. It's unbelievable.

355
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.000
Hold on, what did Zack Taylor
have to do with Joe Burrow's season ending

356
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.400
injury? Nothing? I don't look, don't ask me, ask the callers

357
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.119
that are doing this. They want
him gone. They say we need a

358
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.160
new coach. And look, there's
a problem with the play call and we

359
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.759
know that. And honestly, right
now, I'm not going to blame Jake

360
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.599
Browning for the law school. I
think he played admirable for a first time

361
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.359
starter. You know, he got
sacked, certainly through that interception, which

362
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.240
is gunt wrenching, but other than
that, he played good enough for that

363
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.880
team to win. They can't stop
the run, really, And there's another

364
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.279
coach that the people are high and
mighty on. A year ago at lou

365
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.039
Ana Romo and now all of a
sudden, they want him gone to Andy.

366
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.480
And it had been fifty eight straight
games since the Pittsburgh Steelers had four

367
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:52.720
hundred yards of offense against Eddy.
They can't stop the runs. And you

368
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.880
know, you talk about the Burrow
injury and Jake Browning and all of that,

369
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:03.160
that had nothing to do with that
apps elude embarrassment at pay Court Stadium

370
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.160
on Saturday or at Sunday against the
Steelers. It had everything to do with

371
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.920
the defense not showing up. Well, that's basically what I said. But

372
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.400
that's okay, it's almost you second
that that means I was right. Oh

373
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.720
yes, the first one to tell
me if I was wrong. I'm just

374
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.920
your little I'm just your little but
boy agreeing with everything you say. What

375
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.240
I know. It's kind of sad
because basically it's the same team, did

376
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.680
the same defense and the same coordinator. So I don't know what went south.

377
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.359
I really don't understand the difference.
I don't. I can't explain it.

378
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.440
You know, I'm not a football
maven. Let the coaches explain it.

379
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:38.319
And obviously they can't seem to explain
it either, because if they could,

380
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.680
they corrected. So since they gave
up four hundred yards of offense to

381
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:49.440
the Steelers, which you know that's
that's a pitifully woeful audio offense in Pittsburgh,

382
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:53.039
it really is. And they give
up more than four hundred yards of

383
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:59.640
offense to them. Is that Zach
Taylor's fault? No, I mean,

384
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:02.720
I'm he's the coast. I mean, anything that goes wrong or any success

385
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.400
this team would have in any sport, it is the coach. The coach

386
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.079
basically is the CEO, the head
honcho of the business organization. It's all

387
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:14.559
about the coach. But I give
you an example when Rick Pattino was coaching

388
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.279
Louisville and Maddie's hookers going around had
he kind of denied it. Hey,

389
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.319
don't deny it. If you have
to know what's going on twenty four to

390
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.799
seven, you are the CEO of
the operation. That's just the way it

391
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:30.039
is. You have to know.
Well, Rick Pattino seems to uh,

392
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.960
or at least did at the time, like hookers and and some of them

393
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:39.519
were masquerading as the wives of athletic
trainers. I'm not going to go down

394
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:43.480
that road. I mean, you're
you're saying something that could be alleged.

395
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:50.480
I don't know it happened Rick Patino
in a back room of a restaurant of

396
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:57.119
a buddy of his having a tryst
with the wife of of of like.

397
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.519
Uh, it's one of these assistants, athletic assistance. I remember it was

398
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:05.519
in Lexington. It was Italian restaurant. I believe in less. That was

399
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:08.240
years ago, and they look,
everybody has their fault. He's still a

400
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:10.680
great coach, and he's a Hall
of Fame coach. But all I'm saying

401
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.880
is this, I'm not I'm not
concerned with his off the off the court

402
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:16.519
antics, what he does in his
private life, and that's his private life.

403
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.839
I'm concerned with anything to do with
his basketball business life. Anything that

404
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.240
happens on the team has to fall
back to him because he's the CEO,

405
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:30.440
and that goes with every coach and
every sport on every level. Joe Paterno's

406
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:37.799
entire career as as a championship head
coach in college football was destroyed because one

407
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:47.000
of his defensive coaches was abusing raping
young boys. And they said, you

408
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:51.079
know what, Jopa, you should
know. You should have known about this.

409
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.440
We think you did know about it, and now you're done. We're

410
00:33:54.440 --> 00:34:00.200
going to tear down the statues.
You know, you don't. You don't

411
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:01.920
any of the credit for all of
the wonderful things that you did, For

412
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:08.559
all the wonderful men who came through
Penn State and benefited from Joe Paterno's tutelage

413
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:15.119
and everything that he taught them and
gave them, that was all gone in

414
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:20.639
an instant. It's called institutional control
or lack of institutions. Was true,

415
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.159
but that's just the way it is. That's his legacy. I'll go back

416
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.760
to this past weekend when Ohio State
played Michigan and football. Honestly, I'm

417
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.440
surprised there has been more pushback on
the result of that game, because obviously

418
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.920
Michigan won the game. I'm certain
I thought for sure, maybe I'm really

419
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:37.519
off face now. I thought somebody
was gonna come out and say, well,

420
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.719
Michigan won because they had to plays
in advance, and no one said

421
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:44.639
that, you know, allegedly,
you know, they said that, you

422
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:46.519
know, he was cheating, And
I'll use the term allegedly, although there

423
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:50.480
has been some proof of some people
have gotten fired over that. But I

424
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.400
can't believe that getting plays in advance
could really help. I'll give you an

425
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:59.880
example, if Cincinnati had the plays
against Kansas on Saturday, they still would

426
00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:02.559
have up bombarded because they're better athletes
and better players. That's just the way

427
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:07.239
it is. If Bowling Green State
or Toledo were to play Georgia or Alabama

428
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.440
and they had the plays in advance, they ain't winning. They're just not

429
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.320
that good. They're not good enough. So don't give me the garbage about

430
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.039
the plays in advance. Look,
Deon Sanders said it the best, the

431
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.840
coach of Colorado. You gotta do
it on the field. They gotta go

432
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:22.960
mono way mono. They got to
play at the game. You gotta get

433
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:27.280
one on one and do it on
the field. No, there's no question

434
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.239
about that. And that's where it
all. Uh, that's where it all

435
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.920
shows up. So I mean,
right, well, what did you do

436
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.880
today? Did you do anything fun
today? Andy? I don't think there's

437
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.760
any of your business what I've done
today, to be honest, but I'll

438
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:43.840
tell you, did you did you
go to the did you go to the

439
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.760
point and work? Yeah? I
did know the point? And uh,

440
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:51.079
did you go to the Rotary Club? Did you go to Rotary Club luncheon

441
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:54.280
in Covington? I missed the Covington
Rotary Club today for the first time in

442
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.840
months. I usually go every Tuesday
for a good lunch and meal. But

443
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.559
I just had too many, too
many errands, had errands to do.

444
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:04.480
I had to get my allergy shot
today. I got my allergy shot once

445
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.519
in a month. I did today, and I had to do some banking

446
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.480
and a little shopping. So you
know, it takes his time. What

447
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.760
are you What are you allergic to? If anything? Everything? You name

448
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.519
it? You know, grass,
mold, trees, dust, dirt,

449
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.360
animals, you know, talk show
hosts, you name it. I'm listen,

450
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:29.840
canna ask if you were allergic to
me? Only when you talk to

451
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:36.559
me, all right, for ball, Thanks for thanks for seven minutes,

452
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:37.880
seven and a half minutes of my
life. I'll never get back. I

453
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.679
appreciate pleasure. It always is a
pleasure. Thank you. Andy Furman with

454
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:49.199
us on the Nightcap as we continue
on seven hundred WLW on the Nightcap on

455
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.639
this Tuesday evening, seven hundred WLW
and Garry Jeff at your service, And

456
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:59.599
so is our friend Dennis wild Man
Walker. He's back again, my friends,

457
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.679
because as long as he has a
book to sell and he's living,

458
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.239
he will be on the air,
I guess, but it's always great to

459
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:14.079
have him and I love his perspective
on sports and wild Man. I got

460
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:19.000
to tell you, just got off
the phone a few minutes ago with the

461
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.599
man that we call the fur Ball, Andy Furman, and he says that

462
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:28.599
apparently there are a bunch of idiots
around town calling for the head of Zach

463
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:37.159
Taylor because of the Bengals recent losing
streak. Your thoughts is that a smart

464
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.400
thing to be calling for the firing
of a head coach, which all the

465
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.400
fans do anytime the team is losing. And you know last year, as

466
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.159
fur Ball mentioned, last year,
they want to do erect as statue to

467
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.760
him, and now they're calling for
his head. I don't think that he

468
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.440
had anything to do with Joe Burrow's
injury. He may have had something to

469
00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:00.719
do. And you know, lou
Annarumo has been long is one of the

470
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:06.159
great defensive coaches. They didn't look
too darn good defensively on Sunday, did

471
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:10.440
they. Gary jeff In all the
years when I was at WEBN from nineteen

472
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:15.880
eighty three to twenty eleven, I
never ever called for the head of a

473
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:20.199
Reds manager, never called for the
head of a Bengals head coach, never

474
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:25.400
called the head for a UC football
coach or Xavier basketball coach or UC Bearcats

475
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:30.239
coach. There's other ways to improve
this team. Zach Taylor. Yeah,

476
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.159
I mean he drives you nuts with
some of the stuff that he does on

477
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:39.800
the sidelines. I'd like to see
Zach Taylor just coached the team. Mike

478
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:44.480
Tomlin. If you saw the game, Mike Tomlin's not calling any plays,

479
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.039
is he. No, he's got
an offensive coordinator, brand new offensive coordinator

480
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.440
because he fired the other one Matt
Canada about two weeks ago or a week

481
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:57.679
ago. Yeah, you've got an
offensive coordinator, why not try something different?

482
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.719
I mean you hired the guy to
be able to defend. Coordinator and

483
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:05.199
Gary Jeff When the Bengals went to
their first Super Bowl might be before your

484
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.880
time. Forrest Gray was the head
coach, the offensive coordinator was Lyndy and

485
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:14.880
Fonte. When the Bengals went to
their second Super Bowl, Okay, yeah,

486
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.159
Sam Watch was the head coach,
Bruce Coslet was the offensive coordinator.

487
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.039
They both were lousy head coaches and
Fontan and Coslt, but they were very,

488
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:29.000
very good offensive coordinators. When Marvin
Lewis took over. Bob brat Kowski

489
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.480
was the offensive coordinator, and he
started out pretty good and then he just

490
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:35.840
got terrible. And Marvin wouldn't let
wouldn't cut it, wouldn't cut him loose.

491
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.639
Now Zach Taylor comes to town.
Yeah, the Bengals went to the

492
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:45.000
Super Bowl with with Zach Taylor on
the sidelines and and Callahan up up in

493
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:50.880
the booth. But Zach Taylor's calling
the place. I think Zach Taylor needs

494
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.679
to just check his ego at the
door and let Callahan call the plays the

495
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:58.480
rest of the year. And here's
what just drives me up for Wall.

496
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:01.639
You've got all these talking head heads
in town on your station, another station

497
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:07.599
on TV. They don't have the
guts to go in there and ask Zach

498
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:10.639
Taylor would he be willing to relinquish
his play calling duties. They are scared,

499
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:15.320
you know what I'm saying, scared, scared to death. I guarantee

500
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.159
you if I was doing radio on
a regular basis, I would go in

501
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.559
there and I would direct that question
as Zach Taylor. Zach, why don't

502
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.320
you just give up the play calling
for the rest of the season to see

503
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:27.199
what this team can do they need
to do something? I mean, this

504
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.800
game against the Steelers, Gary Jeff, the game plan was pathetic. Why

505
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:35.000
not impose your will from the get
go like they did against the forty nine

506
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:39.000
ers and run the football. You're
paying Joe mixonone five million dollars and he

507
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:44.039
gets the ball six times. I
mean, that's ludicrous, that makes no

508
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.360
sense at all, and you're setting
up Jake Browning to fail. And wait,

509
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:52.639
and how ironic is this? Jake
Browning's first start in the NFL is

510
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:54.960
against the Steelers. Let's harken back
to David Klingler, remember that name.

511
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:59.000
Oh yeah, when he played against
the Steelers, he got sacked like fourteen

512
00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:02.199
times. He was are worth a
damn after that? And Brownie took a

513
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:07.000
number of hits plus he also was
sacked four times. But why not imposed

514
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:08.800
the lie? Because they knew what
the Steelers were gonna do. They were

515
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:13.199
gonna they were gonna rush the quarterback. But they didn't try to run the

516
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.119
ball at all, and they got
a decent running game when they when they

517
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:22.440
give Mixing the ball more than six
times, I'm beside myself. I mean,

518
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:28.440
yesterday you would have called I probably
would have blown a gasket. I

519
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.119
want that to happen, and I
know I owe you a dollar, so

520
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.880
I'm gonna give you a two dollar
billion and give me a dollar and change.

521
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:39.880
Uh. Okay, So here's the
thing. Okay, the play calling

522
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:46.599
pathetic, the game plan awful,
not imposing their will or trying to establish

523
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:52.639
any kind of a running game with
Joe Mixing. Absolutely the reason that the

524
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:57.440
Bengals could only muster ten points in
that game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But

525
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:01.960
how in the world do you give
more than four hundred years of yards of

526
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:07.000
offense to a team that has not
eclipsed four hundred yards of offense in fifty

527
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.800
eight straight game I e. Visa
vive the Pittsburgh Steelers. How do you

528
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.239
do that? As a Bengals defense? When you give up only sixteen points?

529
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:20.199
Scary? You should win that game. You really should sixteen points.

530
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.400
And then come on, man,
you should win that game. And hey,

531
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.320
they've got problems of covering tight end, as they really do. They

532
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.559
have big time problems covering the tight
end, and the Steelers exposed them on

533
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:37.760
it. I mean, friar Mouth
looked like all all world tight end,

534
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:39.639
you know, and they're talking about, well, you know, he really

535
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.800
hasn't shown up that much, but
he is. He is their best tight

536
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:50.039
end. But friar Mouth looked like
a world beater against the Bengals. Yeah,

537
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.199
it looked like the Bengals never even
looking, you know, knew about

538
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:57.360
that guy. You think they would
have, especially after that first long pass

539
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:00.480
to begin the game, that they
would have put somebody on him, locked

540
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:01.840
him up as he was coming off
the line. But no, they just

541
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:06.960
let him run around out there and
a Steelers running game. I wasn't surprised

542
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.639
by that, but you know,
they gave five hundred and they gave up

543
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:13.719
five hundred yards, four hundred yards
plus whatever they got sixteen points. Steelers'

544
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:16.679
offense stinks. They ain't going anywhere
anybody, any Steeler fan things are gonna

545
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:20.360
win a Super Bowl. They are
delusional. We should get off the crack.

546
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:23.719
Sixteen points. Come on, man, sixteen points the Bengals. You

547
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.159
want to give up sixteen points?
You should win the damn game the Bengals.

548
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:31.920
Well, you know what last night, the Vikings gave up twelve to

549
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:37.599
the Bears. Yeah, what about
that? Well, I turned that game

550
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:40.199
off. That was putting me to
sleep. I went to I turned it

551
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:44.679
on and started watching Kojack the heck
with that. So next week, the

552
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:49.320
Bengals travel to Jacksonville to play Trevor
Lawrence and the Jags. How much of

553
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:54.519
a debacle is that going to be? Unless things change dramatically? Dramatically and

554
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:58.559
you know, do you see it
happening? I don't. I don't see

555
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:02.079
Taylor, you know, really wishing
me the calls to Callahan, who I'm

556
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:06.360
told you know, draws up the
plays and then it gives them. Then

557
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.159
they look at it, and Taylor
says, I'll call him whatever if I

558
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:13.079
can believe that. I just like
to see Callahan earn his money and be

559
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.960
the OC for the rest of the
year. But Taylor won't do it.

560
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.880
He won't do it. Well,
how about this? How about this,

561
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:23.639
wild man? How about this?
How about Joe Burrow's on the sidelines.

562
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:28.920
Why don't you let him call the
damn place? Good question? And why

563
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:31.719
is it? And when Joe Burrow
comes back and good health, he should

564
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:36.679
call the plays. I agree with
God the man. He called the plays

565
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:40.440
for God's sakes. Yep, all
right, wild man, it's always always

566
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:46.039
enlightening. I appreciate your time tonight, wild man Walker, go ahead,

567
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:51.920
Well, I see you at Redsfest. Uh, probably not unless I can

568
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:55.760
get a media pass. I'll be
there Friday. All right, talk to

569
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.960
you soon, all right? Wild
man Walker at Red's Fest on front.

570
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:07.920
Folks, there he is seven hundred
WLW. This is the nightcap. Meanwhile,

571
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:12.199
in the enchanted forest there's a fairy
godmother. I bet you're gonna see

572
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:15.559
Cinderella. I suppose are you going
to make her a beautiful dress for the

573
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:19.719
ball. I don't know what's in
it for me, but you're a fairy

574
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.480
godmother and all I do is kids? How about little something for me?

575
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:27.360
Like what? I'd like to listen
to Eddie and Rocky. They're funny.

576
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.000
What if you put a radio in
her pumpkin carry? We could all listen

577
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:35.679
to Eddie and Rocky. Excellent idea. Eddie and Rocky give your day a

578
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:40.239
fairy tale. Ended Eddie and rock
Tomorrow afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW.

579
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:45.320
File interest rates are on the rise
everywhere else. At Genesis Diamonds,

580
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:49.679
we've got just the relief you need. This on seven hundred WLW. Joining

581
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:55.800
us now Professor Bruce Gilly and Professor
Gilly has a new book called The Case

582
00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:00.400
for colonialism. Yes, that word
colonialism. It's supposed to be a bad

583
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:07.559
word. We've all been told that
about how the British and the Europeans went

584
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.440
into these poor, oppressed countries and
just further oppressed the peoples that were already

585
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:16.679
living in those countries in Africa and
the Middle East and elsewhere, and because

586
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:24.320
of that we have entire generations of
victims. Maybe that these people became victims

587
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:32.800
because they veered away from their colonialists
or the people that had occupied and traveled

588
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:39.119
to these places, and got away
from the rule of law, from structure

589
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:45.199
and society that colonialism provided. And
I mean, this is totally against the

590
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.599
grain of what you'll hear from most
people when it comes to I mean,

591
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:58.079
colonialism is a four letter word with
a lot more letters to most people.

592
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:02.880
But doctor Professor Gilly makes the case
in this book that it was actually a

593
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:07.960
good thing. Professor Gilly, welcome
to the program. How are you hi,

594
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:12.920
I'm good, Nice to be here. Yeah. So this really turns

595
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:20.119
what we have been told about modern
history on its head, doesn't it.

596
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.800
You're in the conclusions that you draw
on this book and the research you've done.

597
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:28.480
Tell me why you started out on
this quest in the first place.

598
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:36.800
Well, I guess I studied political
science and comparative developments, and I increasingly

599
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:42.079
realized that the countries that had been
colonies, especially British colonies, that had

600
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:47.960
been held for longer, that had
held onto their colonial inheritance more fast than

601
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.760
places that had tried to demolish it, are today richard, more democratic,

602
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:58.039
more stable, have a better rule
of law system. So, you know,

603
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.480
you're not supposed to say this,
but every one knows it in my

604
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.239
world of political science, that that, you know, colonialism left behind great

605
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.360
legacies. But why are we not
allowed to say that anymore? Well,

606
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:15.840
we were our country was a group
of colonies, and we rebelled and revolted

607
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:22.599
against the British colonizers. Would you
say that the United States of America benefited

608
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:31.119
from turning away from those colonial masters
or because of their original their original you

609
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:37.920
know, presence on this continent is
the reason the United States has survived as

610
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:42.000
long as it has. Well,
that's right. So if the United States

611
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.039
had not been a British colony,
it would have been a theocracy run by

612
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:51.480
pilgrims and some native allies. It
would not have been the great country it

613
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:53.800
is. So let's be clear that
the greatest thing that ever happened to the

614
00:48:53.920 --> 00:49:00.840
United States was being called becoming a
colony of Britain. And the fact that

615
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:07.039
the independence of the United States came
through a struggle was not unusual. The

616
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:12.599
timing of self government was always something
that was contested at the last moment.

617
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:16.159
But the United States never decolonized in
the sense of the United States gave up

618
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:20.880
on the rule of law, on
constitutional government, on markets, on property

619
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.960
rights, on accountable government. I
mean, that was all something that came

620
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:30.440
with being a British colony. So
it's important for us to understand what did

621
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:35.079
and did not happen in seventeen seventy
six, lest we fall into the camp

622
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.440
of thinking we're victims of colonialism and
the best thing we ever did was to

623
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:45.440
get rid of British well countries in
Africa and in the Middle East that were

624
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:51.440
at one time colonized by sometimes the
Bridge, sometimes the Portuguese. I mean,

625
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:55.800
the Portuguese were famous world travelers four
and five hundred, six hundred years

626
00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:04.000
ago, and they established colonies in
flung places. What about the places in

627
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:12.440
Africa and the Middle East where the
colonizers were totally overthrown, and their way

628
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:17.039
of government or governing was totally overthrown. How are those countries doing today?

629
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:22.440
Give me a couple of examples if
you can, well. I mean,

630
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:30.239
the greatest examples you can see today
are the terrible despotisms in Zimbabwe, which

631
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:35.880
of course used to be the bread
basket of Southern Africa until they threw off

632
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:42.400
first colonial rule and then white minority
rule in nineteen eighty and promptly decided they

633
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:47.880
were going to decolonize Zimbabwe, which
means starvation, one party rule, dictatorship,

634
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:52.519
and half the population fleeing to South
Africa. That's actually a pretty classic

635
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:59.119
story. It's not that unusual.
Ghana, which was really the jewel in

636
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:04.599
West Africa as a British colony called
the Gold Coast, came to power with

637
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:08.480
this guy called Kwami Nakruma, who
JFK thought was just a well guy leading

638
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:13.239
his country like the George Washington of
the Gold Coast. But he was a

639
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:16.800
tyrant. He was basically a puppet
of the Soviet Union, nationalized the cocoa

640
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:22.559
industry, sent this prosperous economy into
a tail spin, and he didn't recover

641
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:27.320
from one party dictatorship until well into
the nineteen nineties, by which time there

642
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:32.039
wasn't much left of this former flourishing, humane and wonderful place called the Gold

643
00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:37.039
Coast. You make an excellent point, and I guess that's the reason you

644
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.679
wrote the book, because it's full
of excellent points which are obvious to anybody

645
00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:49.119
if they're being honest, intellectually honest, Professor Gilly in that when these one

646
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:54.840
time colonial outposts our overrun, overtaken, revolution happens and they get rid of

647
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:01.599
the colonialist, it almost always leads
to a dictatorship, to a despot,

648
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:10.519
to just totalitarian rule that benefits no
one but the person who's the titular head

649
00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:15.480
at the time. Correct. Yeah, you may have heard of a place

650
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:20.440
called Yemen. You may know that
Yemen has been in a civil war since

651
00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:27.079
more or less the mid nineteen nineties. The British had a colony in Yemen.

652
00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:31.280
It was called Aiden, based in
the Port of Aiden and Aiden Protectorate,

653
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:37.360
which was the surrounding areas most of
what is now southern Yemen. The

654
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:43.840
British created one of the most flourishing, busiest ports in the world at Aiden.

655
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.519
It was the second busiest port after
the port of New York in the

656
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:52.400
nineteen fifties. It was a crossroads
of East and West. The Arab cultures

657
00:52:52.400 --> 00:53:00.079
were thriving, prosperity instability, but
you know, the United Nations and the

658
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.760
Soviet Union, and even to some
extent the New York Times decided, well,

659
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.639
Aiden was an example of colonial repression, so the British needed to be

660
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:13.480
forced out. They tried to fight
the insurgency, but they obviously were standing

661
00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:16.519
alone. They abandoned Aiden, and
Aiden then descended into civil war, was

662
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:22.199
taken over by at North Yemen that
was run by East Germany, and the

663
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.679
country's been a failed state for thirty
years. So colonialism starts to look a

664
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:31.800
lot better in retrospect. Yeah,
maybe without with the British still in control

665
00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:36.840
of Yemen, maybe we don't have
hooty rebels firing rockets at our troops in

666
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:42.760
Iraq right now, Professor Bruce Gilly. The case for colonialism, it's available

667
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:46.599
everywhere, and I appreciate your time
tonight. It's very interesting. Thank you,

668
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:52.239
good to be here. Absolutely,
the Nightcab continues in moments. You're

669
00:53:52.280 --> 00:54:04.039
on seven hundred w If time wants
again to talk to our guy about the

670
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:08.840
climate, about the climate crisis,
about the green breakdown that has yet to

671
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:14.840
come, and we're actually seeing in
little bits and pieces right now the one

672
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:22.400
and only not carbon neutral. Steve
Gorum the executive director of the Climate Science

673
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:28.960
Coalition of America and author of four
books on energy, climate change, sustainable

674
00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:32.000
development, over one hundred thousand copies
in print. Again I mentioned the latest

675
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.199
one is green Breakdown, And Steve, we're going to talk a little bit

676
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:43.719
about the UN Climate Conference that is
right around the corner, and the calls

677
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:50.320
for climate emergency and all the other
hysterical, superstitious, not true things that

678
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:57.400
are going on right now and being
you know, actually perpetrated and then disseminated

679
00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.880
by mainstream media, which we're proud
not to be a part of. But

680
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:04.760
Steve, good evening, how are
you, hey, Dary, great to

681
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:09.599
join you. Yeah, we have
another climate conference starting up here, the

682
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:15.320
thirty eighth I'm sorry, the twenty
eighth conference of the parties at these have

683
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:19.840
been going on for This will be
the twenty eighth year. They started nineteen

684
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.719
ninety five, and this year we're
gonna have set a record. They're going

685
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:28.840
to have more than seventy thousand delegates
that are going to go to Dubai and

686
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:36.039
the United Arab Emirates. They'll be
flying there on their private jets and their

687
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:44.360
commercial aircraft, and for each kilogram
of jet fuel burned, that jet will

688
00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:50.039
admit about three point one six kilograms
of carbon dioxide. And then they'll take

689
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:55.880
limos and taxis to the Dubai Expo
city and those are fueled by gasoline and

690
00:55:55.920 --> 00:55:59.920
diesel fuel. There may be some
electric vehicles, but they're going to be

691
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.840
charged by the UAE electricity, which
is eighty two percent produced by natural gas.

692
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.960
Is this going to be one of
the biggest carbon dioxide emitting events of

693
00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:15.719
the year, And when they all
get done with it, it's not going

694
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:20.000
to have a measurable effect on global
temperatures in any case. Now, it

695
00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:25.280
is kind of ironic, isn't it
that the Kingdom of Jubai, the riches

696
00:56:27.320 --> 00:56:31.199
came from oil and fossil fuels.
Correct. Yeah, it's one of the

697
00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:38.119
most opulent places on the planet,
all fueled, no pun intended by fossil

698
00:56:38.119 --> 00:56:43.679
fuels and carbon emissions in the first
place. It's just odd that we'd have

699
00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:50.519
all the handwringers there in the heart
of oil country in the world talking about

700
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:54.079
how we've got to get rid of
evil oil and fossil fuels. I just

701
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:58.280
find that it is. Yeah,
they're going to push for a big statement

702
00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:06.079
by everybody saying we have to get
rid of hydrocarbon fuels. Fatti Fatig Biol,

703
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:09.599
the executive director of the International Energy
Agency, will be there in twenty

704
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:14.119
twenty one. He stated, and
I quote, if governments are serious about

705
00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:16.679
the climate crisis, there can be
no new investments in oil, gas and

706
00:57:16.719 --> 00:57:22.400
coal from now from this year.
And a lot of people support his statement.

707
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:28.719
But mister Birel has a cell phone
and everyone else at the conference does

708
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:32.360
made from plastic from oil and gas
that we're wearing suits, tie shoes,

709
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:39.320
and other clothing which are mostly composed
of synthetic fibers from hydrocarbons. They're going

710
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:45.280
to dine on food produced on farms
that use synthetic nitrogen fertilizer created from ammonia,

711
00:57:46.119 --> 00:57:51.679
which is produced from natural gas and
coal fuels coal if you're in China,

712
00:57:52.719 --> 00:58:01.920
and hydrocarbons driver modern society. So
it's one big convention of hypocrisy in

713
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:08.079
many many ways. Yeah. I
mean, anytime you see characters like al

714
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:14.880
Gore flying across the globe, on
their private jet and then lecturing you on

715
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:19.400
the use of fossil fuels. It
just it has to make people laugh.

716
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:25.159
I mean, it would be funny
if it weren't so damn serious about what

717
00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:31.679
they're proposing and the lies that they
keep pushing about CO two in particular.

718
00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:37.960
Two is CO two is not a
pollutant. It is a natural occurring gas

719
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:44.000
on Earth, and it's necessary for
life on Earth. I think that these

720
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.320
people are anti human. Well,
well, yeah, along with the water,

721
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:51.920
vapor, and oxygen, and carbon
dioxide is one of the three essential

722
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:58.400
elements or compounds for life, you
know, and there's just a vast amount

723
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:04.199
of wasted activity. We have people
that spend their whole lives trying to figure

724
00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:07.840
out how to reduce carbon dioxide.
We have a battle going on in Iowa

725
00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:15.000
and South Dakota and Illinois right now
North Dakota over carbon dioxide pipelines. Now

726
00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:17.880
farmers are fighting the pipelines. Nobody
would be building pipelines if it wasn't for

727
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:25.320
this misconception of climatism where everybody's trying
to do hydrogen hubs and produce hydrogen,

728
00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:30.360
a very flammable gas which is going
to cause a lot of safety problems.

729
00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:36.239
If we try and install that everywhere, there are just literally probably hundreds of

730
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:40.320
billions of dollars of wasted human effort. All these people are doing these jobs

731
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:44.960
and it is going to have any
effect on global temperatures. And you know,

732
00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:50.199
there's so many other problems to solve. We have five about six hundred

733
00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:59.199
million people that don't have electricity.
Another two billion people have blackouts or brownouts

734
00:59:59.239 --> 01:00:04.199
every single day. There are hundreds
of hospitals across Africa and Southeast Asia and

735
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:08.360
other places that don't even have electricity, and yet we were wasting our time

736
01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:14.639
on carbon dioxide. It really is
a very sad waste and misdirection of resources

737
01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:16.880
that the world is involved in.
There was kind of a little victory for

738
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:22.480
sanity when I saw that I forget
which state was it on the East Coast

739
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:29.840
decided to abandon a wind farm project
offshore. Can you tell me anything about

740
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:36.199
that? Well, it's actually the
builders of the wind farms. We've had

741
01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:39.840
a number of these folks that bid
and had bids accepted, I think in

742
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:44.719
just about every state now New Jersey, Massachusetts, off Connecticut, off New

743
01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:50.920
York and there. Because the interest
rates have gone so high despite massive subsidies

744
01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:57.400
that have gone high as well.
These companies can't make money and so they're

745
01:00:57.400 --> 01:01:00.679
pulling out, and they're actually paying
penalties of its high as one hundred million

746
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:04.440
dollars to pull out of these projects. And this is one of the first

747
01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:09.800
first examples of the common green breakdown. I think Zieman's Energy, a big

748
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:17.000
wind producer in Germany, just got
ten billion euros from the German government because

749
01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:22.239
theyre because their their wind systems are
losing so much money. They just held

750
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:29.079
a auction in the UK for onshore
wind and they didn't have a single bitter.

751
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:31.000
But what's the what's the UK government
going to do? They're going to

752
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:35.239
raise the price by seventy five percent
so they get more bidders to do this

753
01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:37.599
thing, and then the rate payers
will pay for it. And of course

754
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:45.559
we have the ev slowdown, we
have stock market collapses. The Renix Index,

755
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:51.239
which is an index of thirty of
the top renewable companies of the world,

756
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:52.960
is down about forty percent this year
and has dropped three years in a

757
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:59.840
row. So there are a lot
of indications that that we may be starting

758
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:01.760
to forward this green breakdown, although
I still think it's going to take a

759
01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:06.880
decade or two to play out.
Yeah. Green Breakdown, by the way,

760
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:13.280
is the latest book by mister Gorham
and available everywhere. I still love

761
01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:15.519
the mad, mad, mad mad
mad world of climatism, but you have

762
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:21.320
expanded so far since that, since
then you went outside the green box and

763
01:02:21.360 --> 01:02:27.480
now we have the Green Breakdown.
And that is your prediction based on science

764
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:32.239
and economics of how all of this, including EVS, is going to come

765
01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:39.159
to a sudden, abrupt halt when
people realize that they just don't do the

766
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:45.559
job that fossil fuels do. We're
going to have four big impacts. So

767
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:52.239
one is higher energy prices. Electricity, especially California Pacific gas electricity just got

768
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:57.920
another rate hike improved approved rather by
the government. Over the last three years,

769
01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:00.719
California's rates have passed of New England, now the second highest in the

770
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:07.599
country, about twice as high as
Ohio and just behind Hawaii. We're gonna

771
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:13.800
have electricity blackouts. We've seen those
in Oklahoma, Texas and California, and

772
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:16.559
we're going to get some in New
England. And the Department of Energy keeps

773
01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:24.639
track of the outages each year for
the average electricity user and back about ten

774
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:29.760
years ago was about three and a
half hours a year of outage. Now

775
01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:31.840
it's running over seven or eight and
that's going to go higher and higher.

776
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:37.360
The more intermittent renewables we put in. Of course, we're getting less freedom.

777
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:43.199
I was just talk to scientists.
This friend of mine this other day

778
01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:47.960
in Connecticut is now looking the latest
state that wants to ban gasoline vehicles by

779
01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:52.119
twenty thirty five, along with the
stove bands a lot of other things.

780
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:54.000
And people aren't going to put up
with this. It's going to be very,

781
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:59.599
very expensive the alternatives are and finally
we're going to have these transnational energy

782
01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:02.639
shocks, which Europe is in the
middle of a very cold winter this year,

783
01:04:02.679 --> 01:04:05.199
and it would be very very tough
on the people of Europe. They're

784
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:13.440
already paying about four times the price
of the United States for natural gas in

785
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:15.800
England. If you talk to the
people, they don't want to turn on

786
01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:18.679
their ovens, they don't want to
turn on their gas furnaces. It's just

787
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:24.760
it's way way too expensive, no
doubt. Well, Steve Gorham, thanks

788
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:30.559
for your time as always and your
expertise and the actual data that shows us

789
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:33.119
we're not in a climate crisis,
but we sure as hell will be if

790
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:39.400
we continue down this green energy path. That'll be a climate crisis for everybody.

791
01:04:41.599 --> 01:04:44.719
Yeah, we sure will. And
you know, folks have a gasoline

792
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:47.000
car, they've got a gas stove, they use electricity. They really should

793
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:51.000
know what's in store for them if
our political leaders don't get back to some

794
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:55.440
sanity. And that's all. Those
are the things I talk about in Green

795
01:04:55.519 --> 01:05:01.440
Breakdown. Fantastic Steve Gorham, executive
director of the Climate Science Coalition and author

that correct, Dan, if all my

821
01:06:56.760 --> 01:07:00.440
indicators are correct, Yeah, I'll
be on about the twenty four hours from

822
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:03.000
now, maybe about the more and
one more like twenty what twenty two,

01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:08.000
twenty. Yeah, you'll be up
twenty four hours from now. You'll be

wrapping up your show, just like
I'm doing with you right now. Is

825
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:14.920
you get ready to say I'll be
back again tomorrow night? So the Thursday

826
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:18.199
night edition of the Midweek Prist Okay, just had Steve Gorham, my friend

827
01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:21.599
Steve Gorham, whom I've had on
the air for years. He's one of

828
01:07:21.639 --> 01:07:30.920
the truth tellers about climate and green
energy and CO two and he has a

829
01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:34.480
new book called Green Breakdown. And
we were talking. In fact, when

830
01:07:34.519 --> 01:07:38.360
I talked to you earlier today,
you were you were getting gas and I

831
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:42.000
said, well, what's Dan Carroll
going to do? What any of us

832
01:07:42.079 --> 01:07:44.960
going to do? And here's what
I think is going to happen, because

833
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:49.679
I've been wondering what distraction or what
great crisis they're going to throw at us.

834
01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:55.920
They had COVID in twenty twenty,
you know, that facilitated all this

835
01:07:56.320 --> 01:08:01.920
at home voting or absenteeva or mailing
it or whatever. With the presidential election

836
01:08:02.199 --> 01:08:08.440
just ahead in twenty twenty four,
Joe Biden does have the executive power to

837
01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:13.960
declare a climate emergency, and that
would give them all kinds of powers to

838
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:17.319
change whatever they wanted to for there. I think that's what it's going to

839
01:08:17.359 --> 01:08:20.159
be. It's not going to be
another round of COVID like some have predicted.

840
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:25.359
Dan. I think it's going to
be this declaration of a climate emergency

841
01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:29.600
when there is none, and that
will restrict our movement, our freedoms,

842
01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:32.479
and our ability to actually choose our
government this time around. What do you

843
01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:35.399
think about that? You may very
well be right about that, Gary,

844
01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:41.359
Jeff, and I've got a SoundBite
from John Kerry who was absolutely swinging for

845
01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:45.680
the fences right now when it comes
to putting forward you know, their version

846
01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:54.239
of climate change and how it is
up to people like John carry to take

847
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:57.600
the lead on this and tell the
rest of us what we have to do.

848
01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:00.159
You know, this guy, of
course, is not about to give

849
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:02.920
up his private jets he's not about
to give up any of his luxuries,

850
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:08.439
but the rest of us must do
so. And they're talking about depopulation of

851
01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:14.000
the planet and all the rest of
it. So you've got an entire administration

852
01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:20.720
that is hell bent on sacrificing the
greatness of America on the altar of extremist

853
01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:29.000
environmentalism. And I've got you know, the Biden administration is already spending billions

854
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:32.359
of dollars Gary Jeff Walker to fix
all those racist roads. You remember when

855
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:40.159
Pete Buddha Judge was out there talking
about racist highways. Yeah, apparently that

856
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:43.880
money is being spent right now.
So that's one of the that's one of

857
01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:46.479
the items I'm going to talk about. And he talked about the election that's

858
01:09:46.479 --> 01:09:51.319
coming up. We are nowhere,
not even close to where we need to

859
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:56.800
be when it comes to making sure
that the twenty twenty four election is going

860
01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:00.439
to be one that we have confidence
in. You've already got key counties that

861
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:06.760
are sounding alarm bells on voting machines
ahead of the twenty twenty four general election.

862
01:10:08.119 --> 01:10:13.239
You've got over twenty million immigrants who
are now set to vote in twenty

863
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:15.800
twenty four, and that's just the
tip of the iceberg. So there's all

864
01:10:15.880 --> 01:10:21.560
kinds of shenanigans already going on with
the twenty twenty four elections. But Dan,

865
01:10:23.239 --> 01:10:26.560
they're not the illegal immigrants are not
citizens. How in the world can

866
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:31.039
they possibly vote. They're going to
make it happen. They are again.

867
01:10:31.119 --> 01:10:39.239
They are the Democrats and the far
left extremists in this country are absolutely determined

868
01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:43.800
to make sure that all these that's
been the goal from the very beginning.

869
01:10:44.239 --> 01:10:47.760
Get all these the illegals to the
polls, and they'll vote Democrat early and

870
01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:53.399
often, and Democrats will remain in
power for as far as the I can

871
01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:56.960
say, Well, that sounds like
a midweek crisis, and it has a

872
01:10:56.960 --> 01:11:00.479
lot more teeth than a climate crisis, which does not. Dan Carroll,

873
01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:05.800
have a wonderful show tomorrow night,
and maybe maybe if you find time,

874
01:11:06.000 --> 01:11:11.239
we'll have a little nip tomorrow night. Maybe a little nip. A nip

875
01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:13.840
is always in order. Gary,
Jeff, thank you, and God bless

876
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:16.960
it. God bless you too.
And with that we close out tonight's night

877
01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:23.159
cap the playing of our national anthem, Donna America on seven hundred WLW
