this is at in the phone pecking order with miss Lynette, but she does
have a new phone. So we look forward to being serenaded before the morning's
over. Gary Jeff with you just cannot believe what is going on in this
country? How the champions of democracy are trying to ensure that we can't vote
for whomever we want to. This lady in Maine is just I mean,
I'm not even gonna I'm not even going to really focus on this this morning,
because I'll leave that to Mike Allen later on. But Man Shannon Bellows
ACLU Barack Obama supporter, Joe Biden's supporter taking Donald Trump off the ballot in
the state of Maine, said he engaged in insurrection. Parading through the capitol
is not an insurrection, young lady, Oh Tim shimming from Oak Harbor,
Ohio or that area anyway, is on the telephone. It's been a while.
How did your Christmas Nativity scene go? Tim? That went wonderful.
We are going to the walleye drop in Port Clinton tomorrow night with our donkeys
and a Highland calf. What the hell is a walleye drop? It is
for New Year's Eve. They drop a walleye at midnight, A plastic walleye,
A plastic one. No, no, they can't even get a real
walleye. Come on, you're up there in walleye country. I guess I
guess they save the real walleye for eating. They're hibernating. Oh, okay,
whatever, So they drop the plastic walleye. What town is this for?
Clinton? Ohio? Fort Clinton? I know it will. Yes,
Yeah, we're gonna be doing photo shoots there with a donkey whisper. Yeah,
explain for people what this is, because you say donkey whisperer, like
everybody knows what it is, and I still don't know what a donkey whisper
is. Tim Lisa can talk to the donkeys, and they listen to her.
How do you know that they're listening to me? How do you how
do you know that they're listening to her? They behave for her? Okay,
I'm just another jack in the and they heard you're something. All right.
I don't even know if I can say the last part or that,
but that's what I am. Oh, it's okay, it's before six.
You can say ass okay, Well that's what I am. Okay. Anyway,
it's referring to an animal, not a body part, so that that
makes it that's a clear distinction. So so the walleye drop is going to
happen tomorrow night in Port Clinton at midnight, where they drop the plastic walleye
to signify the New Year, and the donkeys and the donkey whisperer will be
there. Yep, there's tons of activities going on. They're going to have
tons of food trucks there. It's a big deal. Oh it sounds like
a huge deal. And uh, I'm just sorry, are you what are
you dropping for New Year's no comment, Jim, I must, I must
move along, thank you, sir, west Side Jim, you're up,
you're awake. What's going on? Good morning, Gary Jeff. That sounds
like a party and a half, doesn't it. The dropping of the plastic
walleye, the plastic walleye bro in the New Year and talking donkeys or a
donkey whisperer donkey whisper. Oh my god, what a party photo ops with
the donkeys. Who wants to go to New York when you can go to
Port Clinton? Exactly? You know, Gary Jeff, I got up just
in time for not just Dick's Picks, but to hear that wonderful comedian Dave
from Harrison because you know, Don Rickles is dead, but Don Rickles had
nothing on Dave. Well, let's hope he wakes up on time this morning.
But anyway, Gary Jeff, I just wanted to say, and have
a safe one. I know it's New Year's evv vv, but you have
a great one. You two and Christa and Brooksy cat dog. What are
you? What are you dropping for New Year's Eves in Price Hill? We

Bye. Good morning Lynnette, Good morning Love. How are you? I'm
great? I got a I got a card from Marcia, your friend Marsha.
You did, I certainly did Christmas. Christmas guy, I believe.
So let's let's open it up. I had not done it yet. All
right. No, it's a birthday card. Oh that's right. It says
you came into the world stark naked, which is true. Every time you
take a bathroom shower, you're stark naked. When you change your clothes,
you're stark naked. And now it's your birthday, so please try and control
yourself. That's great. Yeah, maybe Marsha will be over today, nov.
I mean you can always hope for visitors. The new phone sounds good.
This isn't the new phone. It won't work. What you just got
the new phone and you called me on it and it worked fine. It
worked two days and the third day it wasn't, and in that ninety dead
and now it won't. Lynette, what do you do to your phones?
I don't know. Baby. Well, we're running kind of short on time.
Do you have anything special for us this morning? I want to sing
a verse in the upper room, the up burroom with geezus, in the
up burroom, the up room with my Lord, the Lord Lord. You
know I'm in the upper room with my geezesus. You know I'm in the
upper room, in the sper room with my Lord. Got God, bless
you, Amen, Thank you, Lynette, We love you, love you
all right. We're hanging with Dick next. Who's been naughty? Who's one?
Ninety four five FMW two three three BG Cincinnati. Time to chick in
with our friend Dick. Good morning Dick, Good morning there, Jeff,
how are you doing good? But Dick, what happened with your Dick pick?
Last week? The Bengals just collapsed? Jake Browning? Jake Browning went
from hero to goat? But you just looked pathetic last week. Oh,
you can't say that you've never seen anything that bad. You were a Cleveland
Brown fan for years, So what do you think about going up against my
Mahomie in Kansas City tomorrow. I think I told I think I told Austin
down to dial that they were going to win. I'd say, don't win
tomorrow, twenty four to twenty three the Bengals by a single point in Kansas
City. Yeah, I mean, I'd be surprised if they can score a
single point after last week that was ridiculous. Gott to run the football.
What else is going on around town, Dick, not too much. I
had a good Christmas and I'm looking forward. I got to play a little
music yesterday. We were a little shorthanded because everybody's had that that sign the
thing, but it was nice to then let's see, let's think it'll be
another week to we'll get back. I'll get in the ban Joe group.
I'm telling you what. The cold that I had, yeah, was worse
than either time I had COVID. And it wasn't COVID. I mean for
me personally, Yeah, I mean, I just it just dragged on and
on and on. I heard that Dave from Dayton came to see you Christmas
Day. Yes, nice little Christmas visit. Yeah, he told me when
he gets some time We're gonna try to get down, you know, get
down to see you again, because he had a good time there last year.
Yet I was nice, we had a great we had a great time.
Listen. We're asked from news radio seven hundred wl Johnson Jili out there
this morning as temperaures are in the mid thirties with cloudy skies. We stick
with the cloudy skies for the afternoon. As you warm the low forties,
you're dry again tomorrow at tempas climbing to the mid forties. From a severe
weather station, I'm nine First Warning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred
WLW. Right now, it's thirty six degree. Our next update is at
six thirty. I'm Whitney Harris, News Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four
hours a day. News Radio seven hundred WLW. In to the first official
hour of this Saturday morning edition for Saturday, December thirtieth, twenty twenty three,
the last weekend of the year. Gary, Jeff Walker, how are
you. It's about about six minutes past the hour, and we're doing our
Saturday thing, and that part of that thing is to put this guy in
the radio for what reason. Eh, it escapes most people, but it's
just something we do. Dave from Harrison, good morning, Good morning,
darling. How are you doing. Your Lynette impression gets worse every week,
but she gets better. Yes she does. Listen. How's what? How's
your folks? My folks, my mom and dad, and I got my
brother and my sister in law and my nephew and my niece. Yeah,
we got to see everybody. It was great. What a what a fantastic
visit. Man, there you go. I got just family time and a
good time. Speaking of family, I don't know if I ever told you,
but we know a guy that he retired to run a dating service for
chickens. A dating service for chickens. Yeah, but the business went under.
He just he was having a hard time making hens meat. And I
don't know if you saw this, but I'll turn the ocean. Apparently,
no, hold on, hold on, hold on. That doesn't make sense
because it was a dating service. Unless it was a lesbian chicken dying service,
you wouldn't be trying to put hens together, hens and roosters together.
So, I mean, the whole premise of the joke is kind of faulty.
That's all. I'm saying, what was the other thing that you were
attempting to tell me? Out there on the ocean, there was this there's
a ship carrying red paint and red paint and there was another ship carrying blue
paint, and apparently it was foggy or something. They crashed into each other,
but both the crews were maroon. And and last week you're definitely not
gonna believe this, but uh, actually right, I don't believe it already
and I haven't even heard it anyway, Go ahead, I went to a
seat. We went to a seafood disco. Last week. I did a
seafood disco. Yeah, I pulled a muffle, though, that's just that's
as good as dropping a plastic walleye to signify the new year, like they
do it port Clinton. A seafood disco. You wouldn't believe the images I
have in my mind when you said seafood disco. Well, Christa just found
out that I replaced our bed with the trampoline. She hit the ceiling.
Ah ah. Yeah. You know, the easiest time to add insult to
injury is when you're signing somebody's cast. Yeah, that's true, that is
yeah, And uh people who use selfie sticks really need to have a good
long look at themselves, don't you think? Yes, I do very good.
So no, you asked me, how is your Christmas? How is
your celebration with your family? You've got a huge Dave has an incredibly large
and diverse family. He sent me he and his wife sent me their Christmas
card with a photo of them all gathered together. How many people are in
that picture? It seems like about twenty five or thirty people in this picture?
Dave? Is that about right? Yeah, something like that. Yeah,
yeah, it seems like it. But we've been we've been extremely blessed
and we want to share that blessing with everyone. Yeah, espect for you
guys, well and you always do and we appreciate that. But you had
a great good Christmas, sir, yes, very much. So still lamb
plan on continuing excellent, Well you can continue, but you'll have to do
it without us, Okay, goodbye, all right bye, see you next
here. All right, Dave from Harrison as always, he's He's always Dave

Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it
comes to drinking and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a
car, or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message brought
to you by NITSA and ad Council, your forecast on the last weekend of
twenty twenty three, mostly clouding. Hello, honey, it's me. What
did you think when you heard me? Do you remember how we listened to
the radio and I said, that's the place to be the late HARRYT.
Shapin. Oh, we got the job, isn't fm jeah with a visit
back to WOLD. You're on WLW quarter after the hour on a Saturday morning,
and it's time to talk to our friend old radio Rick Washburn. Good
morning, Ricky, how are you? I'm doing great. I hate to
give a shout out to day from Harrison, but I have to admit in
the early eighties I was in the garage band called Seafood Disco and we stunk.
No are you serious? No, of course, Okay, well no,
I mean it does sound like a weird name for an eighties garage band,
Seafood Disco. That's kind of that's kind of my go to thing.
That that sounds like the eve of a grudge. I saw the second he
said, I saw, you know, a lobster dressed up like John Travolta.
No, I have the vision, I know. But you say,
you say something like seafood disco and it instantly just paints a picture that's that
was beautiful, and it was totally unintended on his part. I'm sure he
does not. He's he's not actually that far ahead thinking. I mean he
does, he's a chess player, but I don't think he's that good ically
done. So how are you receiving us this morning? What are you receiving
us on? And what's the story here? Mister? Well, actually I'm
going to share a story from yesterday that involves some folks from Carmel, Indiana,
Jack, Julie and Nick. And this is a nineteen thirty nine Sis
silver Tone console in the In the blurb that was sent out to all Seers
stores for the new nineteen forty lineup, it says the series one on one,
five eight three, it's the new silver Tone super unit. The weird
as that is, this was the top of the line. It's a five
band AM shortwave console, radio twelve and speaker eleven tubes, got the magic
Itube tuning indicator in there, a four tone setting and all kinds of according
to this blurb that they set out to the stores, all kinds of features
that are actually defying the laws of physics. But that's because whoever wrote it
didn't understand too much about radio, not exaggerations. Just wait a minute,
you're bragging about it having a feature from nineteen twenty two. I don't think
that's what you meant to say. Well, it's kind of like reading the
menu to a Chinese restaurant that you know they didn't quite get the English translations
down when they composed it. Ken Well, at least that's funny a lot
of times. Yeah, right exactly. The silvertone Superunit sounds like either a
WWE wrestler or a porn star. I can't decide which. It could be
a crossover right crossing the coolest to see you, oh boy. The coolest
thing about this, though, is that when I was there and put it
all back together and everyone got to got to hear it, and I got
to do some some tweaks and apologize for what right screwed up. Ultimately,
the neat thing was that Jack's father had given the radio to him many years
ago, then had enjoyed it for years, and he had the cabinet redone
and put in new grille cloth, and unbeknownst to me, while I was
there, he was basically presented them to the third generation of the family,
and I just thought that was really cool, and it's like, keep it
around, folks, because this is a beauty. You know. The thing
is that people who don't have an antique radio from that era don't understand,
or maybe they do and they don't really care that we will never see the
likes of those devices again except in museums and in the homes of people who
you know, are proud enough to have them and keep them preserved. But
in one of these days, you're going to run out of tubes. I
mean, it's all that they're not manufacturing these anymore, I guess, is
the point, and it's it's precious when you have one in your possession,
I know personally from my own experience, and oddly enough not to call you
out on this, but just to say there's playing in tubes out there,
shot because I believe it or not. For radios, the tubes didn't go
bad that often unless there was a manufacturing defect or somebody broke one. TV
tube's very different, oh yeah, because they were run hot and so forth.
But no, the radio tubes, I'm you know, maybe I'll never
run out of them because I have them all. But no, that's not
true. I do have a question that came up over the Christmas holiday.
We're visiting my mom and dad and my nephew, Benton, who's just turned
twenty one. But he is an old soul, and my wife said he
ought to be your son, not your brothers. But anyway, and I
don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But he asked
me if I knew anybody who fixed or could repair suit for eight cameras.
Oh. Interesting, So I want you to I want you to think about
that and get back to me. So apparently they found a super eight camera
that doesn't function, which is not surprising, and he wants to know if
there's anybody out there who fixes them. So I guess I'm putting out the
bat signal not just talk to you, but generally here this morning. I
know a fellow in Bloomington, Illinois that used to own a code at camera
store for decades, and I will reach out to him and see if he's
got any knowledge about that. All right, if you want to know more
about antique radios and you've got one you'd like prepared, try old radio Rick
at gmail dot com. Thank you, my brother, Rick Washburn. Check
it in this morning. Listening to Scott Sloane keeps me safe from angry Dutch
people. People have made some strange claims about the Scott Sloane Show. Listening

you start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds build in temperatures
back into the mid forties. Match and I'm first wanting forecast. I'm Meteorologist
Cameron Harden, seven hundred WLW Sport Liam Tomlinson in midst of College Football Bowl
Bonanza's we have college basketball as well. What happened last night? Yeah,
Kentucky handle business first, Illinois State winning ninety six to seventy last night.
Verge, it's no big deal, Antonio reeves. Illinois State transfer places for
the Cats now being down to Evansville at halftime, you see Bearcats dominate the
second half to beat the Aces seventy six to fifty eight at home. All
right, Well, I mean that is pretty much expected. And again you
see has not touched the Big twelve schedule yet. When that happens, there
will be losses after losses after losses, I predict. You know, you
don't have faith in the Bearcats this year. You know what, It's the
same thing as with the football team. Liam. You're in this new power
conference playing levels of competition that heretofore you do not face on a regular basis.
Yes, they will struggle. I don't disagree. All right, So
let's get to the good stuff. And there was some good, ants and
bad in the college football bowls last night. The Cotton Bowl just very disappointing
for Buckeye fans. Yeah, Missouri tops Ohio State fourteen to three in the
Cotton Bowl last night. Ohio State's defense looked good for the first three quarters.
But when your offense isn't scoring, eventually your defense is going to break.
Well, No, no quarterback and no Marvin Harrison Junior and their quarterback
got hurt. So you had a backup to the backup quarterback, and that's
not a good remedy. All right, what else we got? Kentucky fell
to Clemson and the tax Player Gator Bowl thirty eight thirty five after a forty
two point fourth quarter. It was barnburn. That was a good game.
It was fun. You didn't know what was going to happen for the whole
fourth quarter. And a slate of more today and into the weekend. Yeah,
Mississippi faces Penn State and the Chick fil A Peach Bowl today at noon.
Auburn plays Maryland in the Music City Ball at two today, Georgia meets
Florida State and the Capitol when Orange Bowl kickoff is at four in Toledo faces
Wyoming and the Arizona Ball today at four thirty and the last chance for the
Bengals to maybe stake a flag in the playoff picture with a win over Kansas
City. There's still a possibility for the Bengals playing some bonus football this year,
but it's a tough ride, especially after seeing that offense last week.
Yeah, just win, that's all you got to do. But the Kansas
City Chiefs have lost their last three home games. The Kansas City Chiefs have
kind of been in a similar situation of the Bengals. So if you go
in and capitalize, don't allow explosive plays, which is a lot easier said
than done with this Bengals defense. We'll have all the action here. Kickoff
at four thirty tomorrow afternoon, and tonight in the NFL, the Lions playing
the Cowboys in Dallas. That's sports for you. This is Katino Moby.
This is what's trending from Iheartsports Network, presented by DraftKings Fantasy Sports. Ohio
States offense fails to score a touchdown in a defensive slugfest in their final game
of the season as they fall to Missouri and the cotton Ball. Bengals wide
receiver Jamar Chase was limited again in practice on Friday, but head coach Zach
Taylor said that he will wait and see if they'll be available against the Jeeves
and Broncos. Quarterback Russell Wilson said he hopes to stay with Denver long term,
following the news that he would be benched this week against the Chargers.

Ram twenty five hundred Dodge Never trust to Dodge Man. Come on, I
thought I could afford. That's the only thing you could for those things,
aren't Those things aren't cheap? Well, I mean they may be. You
may have gotten one that was cheaply made, but they're not inexpensive. Really,
I know it, Oh, I know it. Jeez. So I
mean it's under warranty right, Well, I bought that ascended more different,
wasn't for that? Yeah, I'd be stuck with it, but warned it
only so they knew what they were doing when they tacked on the only thirty
six thousand miles. Okay, I got you, Yeah, that's the way
they got me. So anyway, what's going on there this weekend? What's
the big New Year's Eve celebration? Of course? In Port Clinton, we
had a report earlier this morning that there was a plastic wall I drop at
midnight to ring in the new year tomorrow. What are you, Sherry,
Sherry, what are you dropping in Ripley to welcome in the new year.

Seven hundred WLW Steve from Etna, Ohio with a pithy phone call coming up
in minutes. Seven hundred wl W Cincinnati available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app now
Vember one for podcasting seven hundred WLW and iHeartRadio station. How's your money feeling?
It's about to feel happier with a certificate from Happy Money's partner, a
Lion Credit Union elevating buddy. The rest of the day pretty much Tomorrow New
Year's Eve, a chance of rain and snow mixed pretty much on and off
all day, a high of forty three, and for Tomorrow night, the
actual New Year's Eve celebrations, whether it's karaoke, a wet beaver, or
something else. Again, that chance of rain and snow mixing in. No
accumulation expected out of this batch, but it's going to be just kind of
messy. New Year's Day, mostly cloudy in the high of thirty eight.
It is thirty six now and seven hundred sport Liam Tomlinson. We have a
full slate of football everywhere, and you know it's the culmination of the season
with all the bowl games. Give me some results. Kentucky falls to Clemson
the tax Player Gator Bowl thirty eight to thirty five. Missouri top Ohio State
fourteen to three in the Cotton Bowl. Notre Dame dominated Oregon State forty to
eight, and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Memphis beat Iowa State and
Autis and Liberty Bowl thirty six to twenty six. And today Memphis faces Penn
State the Chick fil A Peach Bowl at noon start. Today, Auburn plays
Maryland at the Music City Bowl at two, Georgia meets Florida State and the
Orange Bowl at four. Toledo and Wyoming face off in the Arizona Bowl today
at four thirty. And those college football games will take you to the NFL.
At night, with eleven win, Detroit Lions faced the eleven win Dallas
Cowboys in Arlington, Texas for a battle for the number one seed in the
nfciate team playing in Jerry Land, and of course tomorrow, our Cincinnati Bengals
on the road in Kansas City to take on the Chiefs and hopefully keep their
playoffs alive with a victory. Mahomes and the Chiefs have been having some of
the same struggles that we've seen the Bengals have this year, and that's with
their starting quarterback calling signals. So it'll be interesting to see if the Bengals
can rebound, especially from that just terrible loss at Pittsburgh last week. That
was decimation. Yeah, on Christmas, Man ruined some kids Christmases. I
got to say yes, indeed. So we got college basketball today? Is
there any games today? I know UK played last night beat Illinois State.
UC came from behind to take on the the Evansville Purple Aces and route them
Xaviers off. There's no other games on the schedule. I'm working the UC
women's basketball game versus Kansas State today and that is on Fox Sports thirteen sixty
two o'clock. Okay, so there's no basketball today, six forty three at
seven hundred WLW. Who's infinites New Wireless Technilo not writing then accord until the
hour six forty five Eastern that is, and Gary Jeff Walker on the Saturday
morning edition on seven hundred WLW. Let's go to our friend in at Ohio,
Steve Simon. Good morning, sir, Hello everybody, he love,
good bye twenty twenty three go to hell? Okay, mediocre? Mike de
Wine chose it shows us what it would be like if Joe Biden were governor
of Ohio. After all, Mike and Joe are both Annie Trumpers, along
with mainez secretary of nothing. So how does our former attorney general in Ohio,
a lawyer course who lost his Senate seat to uh oh Sharon Brown in
six My god, I almost forgot. How does he argue against putting limits
on genital mutilation? How the hell do you do that? And you're a
good Christian? Right? Well, First, he talked to parents and physicians
involved. Really the healthcare folks who make more money on doctor Mengele experiments with
little chance of improving the patient's life. Where's the hipocritic oath? And parents
anxious to go along with what we used to call child abuse when we were
a nation of laws? Should we stop prosecuting and fantaside? Might that's a
parental decision? Oh my, I'm being bad. Second, you made a
TV commercial during the last election opposing no holds barred abortion. I see a
disconnect here, Mike. That's government interference with a citizen's medical decision, which
yesterday you said government should never be involved in our medical decisions. Well,
third, government shouldn't make our health care decisions for us. That's way too
late, Mike. Since nineteen sixty four we've adopted Medicare, Medicaid, and
Obamacare. Want to roll those back? Mic God, Finally, your wimpy,
unstructured argument killed an opportunity to deny marginal male athletes the glory of invading
women's sports where they might actually win a medal or money. Hooray for stopping
government interference. Oh, I'm not through. When you were a in Ohio,
you led a Mexican national and an illegal guilty of first degree murder to
escape Ohio courts. He was deported to Mexico, which did nothing because the
crime didn't occur in Mexico. Why should they congratulations? In some you are
magnificently consistent, just like Joe Biden your mentor you're a disgrace. In twenty
twenty three, we diverted money for veterans to border illegals. Oh, we
have to take care of them. Yes, no surprise there, folks.
Do you ever wonder when you're sitting in front of your TV about all those
private charities God bless them, by the way, who are trying to help
grossly disabled veterans. Why not the government doing that? The government sent them
into harm's way in the first place. Wow. Twenty twenty three saw the
irrelevancy of the phrase student athlete. What a freaking joke. They've now morphed
as they should to professional athletes. In twenty twenty three, we now know
that half of the US suffers from cognitive dissonance when confronted with the fact that
this is good versus evil, that it is mao's third stage of guerrilla warfare
that's taking to the streets like you know, Palestinian goons attacking Christmas carollers across
from Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Yeah, and you didn't think anything about this,
right, folks. I mean, it's free speech, right, And half
the country thinks it's Trump's fault because he's not a pleasant guy. Oh God,
he makes me feel so unsafe that maybe there's a problem. And he
makes you feel just terribly uncomfortable with the truth. The Palestinians remind me of
Elijah Mohammed of Chicago, black Muslim fame, calling Judaism a gutter religion,
the pot calling the kettle black democrats hamas communists are always named, calling opponents
for what they are themselves. That's a Nazi trick, by the way.
But here's one that sticks to the White House, which is now the city
dump of Washington, d C. It's analogy time, kiddies, pay attention.
This is on the exam. Biden is to our nation's capital what the
Pistons are to Detroit. The zero has something. I don't know what the
ail it is now, what is it up to twenty seven? The zero
and something NBA team is to the decline of Detroit and the auto industry.
What the Biden crime family is to the collapse of our federal government. The
inmates running the asylum of war the White House not nosed Interns Award to the
nasally challenged Generation dump fifth level employees going public telling Biden how he is wrong
and they can make it worse. They missed it just a little bit.
Outside Award to the conservative broadcasters jumping on the Bobby Kennedy junior bandwagon because he's
actively pro Israel and anti Hamas. Hello, his father was murdered in Los
Angeles by a Palestinian terrorist. I've said this before. Why don't the commentators
note that here's a factoy Bobby has gotten more money from GOP donors than Democrats,
according to ABC News. HM, hooray for Bobby. But the fact
is he's a Bernie Sanders socialist on everything from energy to foreign policy, not
exactly in the image of his beloved uncle Jack. Joe Biden, Oh,
this is the Factoid of the Year award. I had forgotten this and somebody
reminded me yesterday. Joe Biden, United States Senate nineteen seventy five. Oh,
I love this. Voted to restore the citizenship rights of Confederate military Commander
Robert E. Lee, a true insurrectionist. Maybe Joe was hoping that he'd
be pardoned someday. Wow. Among the largest recipients of Chinese government money.
Read that CPC I found out this year is Texas A and M University.
Are you crapping me? That's a school with a huge military component. It's
got a huge r O. Okay, here's what i'd like to see in
twenty twenty four, but of course it will happen, because I never make
accurate predictions. The FBI, first of all, you have to know,
has told the Democrats stop the assassination plots on Donald Trump. You'll just make
him a hero. If any of these succeed, we'll make sure he's stumped
into prison. Okay, just just get off of it. Well, here's
what Trump's going to do. And yes, he will be convicted on I
don't know one hundred and fifty. I don't know charges. I don't know.
He'll be in prison, but we'll vote for him, and he's going
to get elected. He's going to choose Tim Scott, a true black conservative,
as his running mate. Oh. I would just love to see that.
Yeah, he'll be in prison. Trump will he will get inaugurated.
I don't know how he's going to do that with the main Secretary of State
opposing, but one of the first things he'll do is he'll appoint as Attorney
General Ron DeSantis. Oh. I would love to see that. And then
we have that vacant South Carolina Senate. See don't weep Nicki Haley who hates
Trump. Trump hates her. They'll sit down and they'll have a discussion,
and the Donald will say, look, Nikki, we've got our problems.
I don't care what you say when you're in the United States Senate about me,
but I want a Republican in that seat. That seat is empty.
I'm going to support you, Nicki Haley, US Senator South Carolina. And
finally the veck Ramashwami, what are we going to do with him? Well,
the bike I mispronounced his name, I'm sorry, will be the new
head of the Republican National Committee. Finally we get those idiots out of there
and somebody in there who knows what the heck he's doing. Thank you,
Gary Jeff Walker who will be will be our Saturday morning host in twenty twenty
four. God bless you. You know something I don't. Thank you very
much, Steve from Metton, Ohio. Another fifthyphone call and the news of

Seer five seven hundred WLW AT six fifty six. From the creators of Atlanta
Monster and Up and Vanished comes a brand new investigative podcast Radical. In March
two thousand and two police officers were shot in one of about EV's and all
the rest. I see three so green redross too. I see them blue
following you, and I think to myself, what a wonderful Thank you Lewis,
and thank you mister Silty for being a part of our morning again.
How you doing, Steve all right? Better than usual? Gary jep thanks
for asking and happy New Year to you and Chris the two point zero oh
well, thank you very much. And by the way, I just got
the text she is there, Good morning, my love, Hello christ the
two point oh hello Brooksy and Steve Schulte is you know, putting out the
bad signal for you? So there go? What are we talking about?
By the way, I got something bound two articles. It's from Cornwall Alliance
dot org. Cornwallalliance dot org. First one from about a week ago.
This is a guest article from Steven Moore, so some of you may know
of him. The last Green Dreams are going up and smoked. So a
couple of weeks ago, Honda and General Motors announced an end to their two
year collaboration and building a platform for lower cost dvs. Honda execs said it
was quote unquote too hard. This despite that well less than ten percent of
new car sales or ebs over the last two years. This despite the fact
that the US writes a check for seventy five hundred dollars to the people for
buying an EV, and some states I'm sure, like California, are kicking
in five thousand dollars or more. In fact, that Texas Policy Foundation calculates
that if you take all in EV subsidies, some as many of them are
hidden, can reach forty thousand dollars per vehicle, So the government is subsidizing
evs by as much as forty thousand dollars per car per car. Meanwhile,
the news is even worse per winning Solar. The Wall Street Journal recently reported
that quote unquote clean energy investment funds are tanking, with some down as much
as seventy percent in recent months. Solar is one of the worst performing industry
stocks this year. And Gary Jeff despite all this global transition to green energy,
YadA, YadA, YadA, and twenty twenty three, the world will
will use more fossil fuel than any time in human history, even as developed
countries like the US are spending hundreds of billions of dollars trying to stop gas,
oil or coal. So the question is are we transit what's this transitioning?
And Steven Moore makes the comment, if there is a transitioning it's not
away from green energy. It's not away from it. It's that's where it
is. It's away from the transition is away from green energy. Absolutely,
it's a it's a future of fossil fuels for this planet because those are the
most efficient and those are actually the cleanest. And then article from September says
no net benefit to EV mandate government emits. So last this past summer,
the Department of Transportation put out proposed fuel standards basically divorced us into evs and
buried in the fifty six thousand page Register, volume eighty eight in the The
bottom line is after a denity did their environmental assessment of the proposed standards,
the estimated that they would reduce the average global temperature by twenty sixty by zero
point zero zero zero percent. So all of this own bureaucrats say we're gonna
do all this, We're gonna do all this to say of the planet,
but in reality nothing, we're not doing anything exactly, which is what government
does best is nothing most of the time. Listen, we're both for clean
planet, clean air, clean water, absolutely and any source of energy that's
efficient and is inexpensive for the entire world. We're in favor of it.
Just ain't evs, it's not solar, it's not wind. Sorry, well
not yet anyway. Seven ten at seven hundred WLW. This is the game.

In March two thousand two police officers were shot in one of Atlanta's oldest
neighborhoods and arrest was made and the leader of a local mosque was convicted.
But that's not where the story ends. We knew that Campbell was willing to
plan out because he was a corrupt FBI agent. The gun was not on
LEMI at the time he was arrested. They found the gun on the ground.
I wouldn't why they didn't find the gun in the first place. Listen

Marketers Report, Kate Cronin, Chief brand officer of Moderna weighs in on the
speed of audio productive. He wants to hear your body talk. His name
is Rocco Costelano, trained with Roco dot Com and is our guest once again.
So how are you. It was great to see you in studio yesterday.
It's great to have you on the phone today. I mean, you
probably feel like you should be getting a paycheck, but I haven't gotten that
approved yet by management. No. I just love being with you, Gary
Jackson. Oh well that's so nice. That is so nice, and I'm
a little bit creeped out by that too, thank you. Yes, and
you should absolutely so. Yesterday we were talking about health optimization and you were
talking about, uh, the sub The most surprising part of this for me,
the whole conversation, was you said that the vitamin C that you take
in a supplet, supplement, tablet or if you're just drinking orange juice whatever,
is kind of a junk molecule and it doesn't really assist you. I
wanted to expound on getting actual vitamin C into your system, and you said
something yesterday about an IV drip, But you know, I don't have a
bag and I hate needles h for home house. So but but there is
a fat soluble form of vitamin C and I just wanted you to give me
that name again if if you want to, you know, maintain health,
Vitamin C is important. Maybe you know, and you mentioned vitamin D three
and all of the rest, but but so, what is the vitamin C
supplement that actually helps you that you don't just pee out after you take.
Yeah, so vitamin C does help you. A scorbig acid, it is
the garbage molecule that I was talking about because it is a water soluble and
and you have to take so much of it. But the one that you
want me to talk about is called a scorbelmitate scobel, a scobel pomititate.
Yes, a scorb palmitate is the fat sluble version of that that no one
that literally no one knows about, that no one talks about, and the
doctors will not tell you about either because uh, the fat soluble version or
the liposolbal version of it actually uh stays in your body longer and and and
stays with you until you need it. So when you're taking it as as
as a daily supplement, that that stores in your fat cells until until it's
it's ready. And we and we don't need to be flushing our bodies with
with a scorbic acid. We definitely uh need more of the score will pomitate.
And and it's a it's a much easier way to take your vitamins.
Actually, it's a little bit it's a little bit bigger than a regular vitamin
C tablet. But but like you said, we all need vitamin C and
I would rather you get it from you know, oranges actually, but not
everyone can eat twelve oranges in a single sitting to get the same amount that
you can get uh in in the escorable pomatate of vitamin capsule. So twelve
oranges you need the equivalent of twelve oranges of vitamin C bay every single bay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, reasonable. Well, but the thing is
is that the is that our food supply just does not have the nutrients it
once had, right the soil. And that's the problem. The soil is
the big problem. We're over growing, we're over doing everything, and so
our soils dead. The food we eat pretty much dead. We're just eating
things that don't have you know, the nutrients in it. And we really
do have to supplement our our nutrition. And nowadays it's a you know,
it's a hard thing to talk about sometimes, but we definitely don't have a
good food supply. Rocco, thank you so much, as always, my
friend. Happy New Year as well. It's time now for the Tom Davis
Diaries. I like to refer to these as the with why, the old,
wacky, weird news stories from all over the country and the world.
Here is Tom David. Good morning Gary Jeff. This week, finding love
in the New Year might be tricky in a world full of freaks, but
first in North Carolina, it's pandemonium. Has the New year approaches and they
are ankle deep in sewer water. In Durham, fifteen thousand gallons of untreated
wastewater were floating around the town square and wouldn't go back down because it was
full of all things flushable wipes. Apparently they really aren't that flushable after all.
Cruise worked all night to clear the blockage before the stinky stew finally seeped
back below. Some guy in New Hampshire looked like he had just robbed some
wos when they carted him off to the hospital. John Williamson was on his
way to a family holiday party, dressed as the Grinch, ready to deliver
a car full of presents. That's before he slid off the road and into
a house. He did ten grand worth of property damage and he's still in
the hospital. He can't remember the crash and is undergoing more testing. I'm
not sure how your gift giving went, but I'm guessing better than hers.
A twenty eight year old woman says she dumped her boyfriend because of his awful
Christmas gift. She says she went to great links to make him feel special
during the holidays, and all he could do is give her a cheap bottle
of wine. She was so upset that she handed it back to him,
told him it was over, and send him on his way. She says
that wine is quote cheap and vulgar. And finally, a lot of people
are looking for love for the new year, and hopefully they don't run into
this guy. A twenty four year old man who wishes to remain anonymous,
says he still sleeps with his mommy. That's right, he snuggles up to
his mommy in bed every night. He says, they are quote closer knit
than most. And get this, this guy's got a girlfriend and all she
can say about it is, yeah, it's weird. Next year, a
golfer searching for a lost ball finds a bite happy snake. Have a great
New Year's Meanwhile, in the entrented forest, Hansel and Gretel. Wait a
minute, where's Hensel? The wordle witch got him turned him into a stew.
A stew I told him to stay away from the big boiling plot.
How did you get away? It was simple. I turned on Eddie and
Rocky and the witch started laughing so hard. I tossed her and a pie
crossed and threw her in the oven. Oh Witch pie. It was delicious.

Kick things off. You do warm to the low forties this afternoon with the
mostly cloudy skies. You start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds
build in temperaures back into the mid forties. That's your nine first waning forecast
on Meteorologist Cameron Harden seven hundred thirty well w Disappointment for Buckeye fans last night
and the Cotton Bowl. No offense for Ohio State at all. Yeah,
Ohio State can only manage to get three points off a field goal in the
first quarter. Sissy top to Ohio State fourteen to three. Last night.
You know so you know if you don't have the players that made you an
elite program. This is what always gets me about the Bowls, players choosing
not to play and what is supposed to be an honor at the end of
your season. This is a reward for a good season, and players deciding
opting not to play in those games just because I mean, you know,
maybe protecting their future in the NFL. But I think if you're protecting your
future, you play. And then coaches who you know have decided that they're
going to go somewhere else and you don't have the same players and the same
coaches on the sideline or in the game. It makes for what happened last
night to Ohio State. Yeah, I don't know. It happens more often
than not at bowl season. That's sad. Yeah, And then bull season
used to mean a ton like just even playing in a bowl and that was
just when the media picked the national champion. Before the college football playoffs,
just going to the bowl game was like an honor. But now with the
college football Playoff and it expanding, everyone just looks at his college football playoff
for nothing, which I get that viewpoint, but I don't know, and
I don't really don't know how to fix it either, but there were to
change. There were other games last night college football wise, right, Yeah,
Kentucky fell to Clemson the tax Player gameable Sighting game. It was,
you know, disappointing for Wildcat fans, but they scored what forty two points
in the fourth quarter combined. Yes, it was under a just play after
play if someone seemed to take it to the house. And I think all
those points were after the last seven minutes or at least thirty five. What
were the other scores last night? From meanthis beet Iowa State in the Autos
and Liberty Bowl thirty six to twenty six, Mississippi Notre Dame dominated Oregon State
forty to eight, and the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. And we got
a couple of games today. Mississippi faces Penn State and the Chick fil A
Peach Bowl today at noon, Auburn plays Maryland and the Music City Bowl to
Georgia meets Florida State and the Capitol One Orange Bowl kickoff is at four.
Toledo and Wyoming face off in the Arizona Bowl today at four thirty, and
then the Lions and the Cowboys in NFL action this evening at eight fifteen.
Tomorrow at four thirty, the Bengals on the road in Kansas City against the
Chiefs, fighting for one of those last playoff spots, and both teams have
been reeling. Yeah, last few weeks haven't been pretty for either of these
teams, the Chiefs and Bengals. When we at the beginning of the year,
when this game was scheduled, there was a lot more excitement going into
the Sure I thought we'd get Burrow Mahomes probably for the one seed, and
now we're Browning versus Mahomes and a nine win team versus eight win team.
But it still means a lot to both teams, and the home of the
best. Bengals coverage has coverage pretty much all afternoon, correct, Yeah,

All right, Tony Pike with us this morning, Tony, A good
morning. Thanks for joining us here talking Bengals in Chiefs. Would it be
safe to say, I know the Bengals have beat the Chiefs in Kansas City
over the past few years, This is not This is not the same version
of either team in the past couple of years, right, Yeah. I
mean, obviously with the Bengals you miss out on the Joe Burrow effect and
what he brings to this game. But more importantly, this isn't the same
Chiefs team in two ways. Defensively, this is a much better Kansas City
Chiefs team than the Bengals have seen to this point. This is one of
the league's best defenses and a big reason why this team is still where they're
at because the offense is not their weight, and that's really the big difference.
It's not like the weapons are much different from last year. In fact,
the only player you take away from last year was Juju Smith Schuster.
You did lose Eric B Enemy, though, and I do think that that
is a bigger deal than maybe what people originally thought the loss of Eric B
Enemy. They added Matt Maggie. There's been some disconnect there and it feels
like week after week a lot of those that watch football are waiting for Okay,
Kansas City's going to finally figure it out, and that hasn't happened throughout
the season thus far. All right, how do you beat the Chiefs on
Sunday? Well, you've got to be able to run the ball. They
give up one hundred and thirteen yards of the ground per game, So running
the ball is going to do two things. It's going to obviously limit possessions.
It's going to shorten the game, which you want to do as a
road team. But it also keeps Jake browning in manageable situations second and five,
third and three, those types of down and distances, or are you're
able to get the most out of the players around you. Ideally Jamar Chase
would be able to play rely on t Higgins Chase Brown He needs more than
six touches in this game. You can't win games with one of your best
weapons barely touching the ball. So defensively, you know it's the same thing,
Ben, but don't break. Try to force a turnover too. But
offensively, they've got to be able to run the ball against Kansas City.

you fell into the chocolate? LOLLI dude, lolly dude, day, Well,
I fell into vat of chocolate. I just fell in about Wait a
minute, you just said you fell in about of chocolate. I know.
I fell right in this vat of chocolate. I know. And I asked
you a question, I said, what did you do when you fell in
the chocolate? I swam a lot. There's there's a thirty foot bat and
we just full of chocolate. Cross No deep was thirty feet deep full of
chocolate? I fell right into it? I or what is? What happened?
What did you do after you fell in? Why? Uh? I
even hate to think about it because the experience. What did you do?
What did you do to get out? I just walking down down by my
house there and there said, there's this a vat of chocolate over it.
Now, what did you do that? First of all, there had to
be a restrained rail on the vat of chocolate. Well, I uh,
I used to kind of balance on that rail. I used to walk on
that rail, and someone evidently put something slippery on there because I fell right
in there. Okay, then what happened Tom? What did you do after
you failed? I yelled, fire, pile fire when I fell into the
chocolate pile fire when I fell into the chocolate. But why did you yell
fire when you fell into the chocolate? LOLLI dude down, well now I
want you to think about it. Tom. It must have been a very
traumatic experience. Oh, it's just a horrible experience. That chocolate all over
me and I was swimming around, Like, what possessed you to yell fire
when you were out in this vat of liquid chocolate? There was no fire,
you were in the chocolate. You yelled fire. That's pretty h ridiculous,
he asked me. That certainly is. I just yelled fire when I
fell into the chocolate. Tom, why'd you yell fire when you fell into
the chocolate? Why your fire? Because no one said you buy your chocolate.
It's rock and roll archaeology on a Saturday morning with the prop When I
think about the good of the game, man, I care a literally not
to don't crease it. I card I could be b Why no not?
The JN out of bed not a joy street and that a fact on the
lod so sweet time. A lowing road is along the street a collac mab.
I no, Now the turn out a play thing, not a cail
the street today we passed on the street. You just stop that. My
hunt just turned my feet. But I'm thinking about the game. I'm trying
to Lily do you then, Beason, we're trying to clean. Why don't
know the tron out of that thing that it's not a black bottom of suspect.
I can't traffic the ball running the box tops opening up this rock and
roll areology on a Saturday morning on seven hunderd wl W Gary Jeff with the
music profession Jim Liar, Barbara Jimmy. First off, Uh, tell me
your thoughts on the passing with Tommy Smothers And wasn't that a classic bit?
I just love it? Oh, I love it? Yeah, great bit.
I really liked that. Well, you know, smothers books were so
funny, and they were, you know, under the radar, they were
they were the young people's comedians. So Tommy Smothers they did the TV show
in the fall of sixty seven, and then when that song, when that
TV show came on, the network set it up to fail because they put
up against Menanza and they were shocked. You know, they finally file excuses
for years later to get them off the air. But it became enormous success
and for the young people, especially in that Summer of Blood during that time
period. But after that sixty seven it was perfect and twelve and War their
hippie generation with portrayers kind of nice kids, you know, hold different image,
and they did it with that TV show. Now, the song we
just played to open up this morning, Alex Chiltern on the lead vocals there,
and you got a story behind that particular song, right. Dan penned
the first record and we talked about the box stops with the letter. That
was a number one hit. So the record company was bugging Dan Penny produced
it to come up with a follow up, and he was desperate. So
he called his buddy Spooner older. He said, man, I got to
do We got to do a follow up. And so they go to the
studio, sat down and came up with some ideas. They kept throwing them
the gravy syrup all night. Anyway, in the morning, at the dad
tired, they go across the street to get breakfast at a little little cafe.
Was sitting in there and uh, Spooner puts his head on the table
and he goes because he's so he said man, I'm so sorry. I
couldn't help you. He said, I could just I could just cry like
a baby. And Dan said, but what did you say? He said,
say it again? He said, Oh, I like that kind of
like a baby. I like that. They go across the street right the
song, and the next day they bring Alex jilt Man. He's seventeen years
old at the time they do the song. It was notable, of course
that as you listened to it that electric sitsar provided by Reggie Young it it
came, of course, big million cellar, not quite number one, hit
number two and next up on our list. For some reason, I thought
that the Beatles album the double Album was released on December twenty eighth, nineteen
sixty eight. It was actually November twenty second, but by December twenty eighth
the Beatles were on the charts again with an album. It was referred to
as the White Album because it was just white in color and just had the
Beatles, but it was simply called The actual title was just the Beatles,
and it was actually four separate albums together because all four Beatles, you know,
had their own time basically in the studio. They were like Ringo Star
solo songs. There were George Harrison's solo songs, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
It was like they did four different solo albums and crammed them onto these
two records. Set What do You Got for Us? On the white album
Jim how about Blackbird? Blackbird written by Paul McCartney feature on that album.
The lyrics he said, we're inspired by hearing the call of the Blackbird,
but he was with Mohreshi in India, by the racial tension in the southern
part of the United States, and the first three notes of the song inspired
by Bach and then was the guitared with that happened. So he's sitting in
Scotland and he gave different reasons why he wrote the song and the inspiration behind
the song, and one was as I mentioned that the mahare Shei and then
hearing the blackbird one morning in India with a maha and in Scotland he's writing
the song and he's upset with reading the news about the Little Rock nine incidents
and the civil rights movement in the United States, and one of the writer
song that they were dedicated to the people who had been affected by discrimination and
he wrote the song only a few weeks after doctor Martin Luther King was assassinated,
and the whole imagery in fact, it depicted the black people's struggles and
the blackbird itself. Bird in England the British is bird for girl, you
know that girl and then a black black girl, so it could be interpreted
as a black girl. And he had thirty two takes on this. It
was just Paul the acoustic guitar, his vocal and they're tapping sounda tapping its
put on the ground and the floor in the studio and the Birds dubbed it
later using a sab effect record and it became one of the more popular cuts
among the kids from that album, the double White album. I love this
song Paul McCartney from the Beatles White album Blackbird, black Bets singing in the
Dead album Take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life. You
were only waiting for this moment to arise, Blackbirds singing in the dead arms
night, tap the sunken eyes, learn to see all your life. You
were only waiting for this moment to be free. Black Bird fly, black
bird, Fly into the line of a dark, black night. Black Bird
Lie black bird, lie into the line of a dark, black night black
the singing in the dead um, take these broken wings and learn fly all
your line. You were on you waiting for this moment doing rise. You
were only waiting for this moment to rise. You were only waiting for this
moment to a ride. Oh Yes, Rock and roll Archaeology. On a
Saturday morning, Jim Lebarbara up next Roebuck Pop Staples and his family. Yeah,
this weekend in nineteen seventy five hit number one, and then a day
after hit number one, Pop Staples is celebrating the birthday. And it's called
Let's Do It Again. That was the title song also from the soundtrack of
the movie Bill Cosby Sydney Portier's comic movie The and it was written by the
great Curtis Mayfield. It was the second of the two number one hits.
Of course, the follow up record too, I'll Take You There Now.
This song shocked the Staple singers fans, the gospel fans because of the sexual
lyrics over this very sensual groove, and it was pretty obvious what they wanted
to do again and again and again, and Pop and Staples had to be
persuaded to do this part. I mean he's the patriarch, and zardter Mada
said in the studio, Curtis Mayfield said, Pops, this is your part.
I like you, lady, so fine with your pretty hair and pop
statement because no, Curtis, man, I'm not saying man a church man.
And Curtis said, oh, Pop's the Lord won't mind. And the
sisters really had to convinced Pop to do this song, kept Adam and they
said, that is just a movie score. You're not leaving the church.
Finally gotten to do it, and it's been despied. This group is a
gospel group and not identified with sexual arc Yep, Let's do it again.
Let's do it again. Before you do it again, do it, do
it, Let's do it again. Sometimes rain even when I hit like you
and they get me down with the sounds of ring it smell out the morning
as we passed away, I want to do it, do it. Let's
do it in the morning, Sweet breeze in the sun the time, They're
all sweet thing, only a mess line the sweet love in the midnight could
see it come Ba, No, I think we get the message. The
Staples singers, Let's do it again from nineteen seventy five. Jim Lar Barbara
the music professor here with us. All right, let's go to last on
our list today as we get ready to celebrate the new year. Definitely a
holiday feel to close out. Great song to a number nine hit nineteen eighty
one, Same Old Langzine by Dan Fogelberg. Now this song of biographical when
you know the story, it might take a little different meeting. He's visiting
his parents for Christmas, his family home in Peoria. Nineteen seventy five.
He wasn't of his old girlfriend from high school, Joe Anderson, at the
convenient food store. Now, following his death from plastate cancer in two thousand
and seven, this woman in the song, Joe Anderson, stepped forward with
a story. I told how she and Dan had dated in high school,
and she explained, you know, we were part of that class Woodwood High
School class of nineteen sixty nine, and after graduation went to different colleges and
following college, she got married, moved to Chicago. He's out in Colorado
and making music every successful career. And they're back home in Peoria of visiting
and their parents at the same time. In nineteen seventy five of Christmas.
They ran into each other in this little convenience store in the Admonton Hill district
and they bought a six pack of beer. Couldn't find a barlet it was
open, drinking in her car for two hours. Thought that during this time
in the car, about different things that they did. Five years later,
the song is released, She's on living in Chicago, the school teacher.
Here's what I'm the radio for the first time, but keeps quiet. Didn't
want to get anybody to know that this was about her because she thought might
disrupt Dan's marriage. And she said Dan took the artistic license. Her eyes
were green, not blue. Her husband was a phys ed teacher and not
an architect, and he wrote this song in a melody based on the eighteen
twelve overture by Scharkowski. It ends with old Langzie with that soprano saxophone by
Michael Records, So wonderful and now so old lang Xian traditional song, of
course, with the New Year's Eve come on night. But that's a reference
in the title that the song takes place on Christmas Eve. But they shared
a toast anyway, because they were living in the good old times. That
they had together in that line we drank a toast to innocence that we drank
a toast at time. Here it is Happy New Year, prop, Happy
New Year to you, and one more time with Dan Fogelberg. As we
close out our rock and Roll archaeology segment, that my own love Grostmas Suma
starling Christmas Eve. He had her in a dozen boots and a touched her
on the step. She didn't recognize the base at first, but then her
eyes were open Wald and she went to her me inches older burst. Then
we laughed, and Bill we cried, look the fast is a jack got
step who was toned up back and stood there lost in her embarrassed as the
conversation. Dray went to have ourselves a thing to now, but couldn't find
an open ball and wall a six pack at the Leader store, and we
draged in her cold. The clang goes to sense weird drag as trying to
read me all the happiness, but me the one new She switching Mammy her
red iron tip after harmon safe and drive. Did she like to say she
loved the man, but she did like to lie A fifty years had been
a friend under the riots were still just good in those signs. I was
a shower and by so, don you set your sobbing in my backroom store
the man I want to be doing well. I set the audience. So
I was held a name, but the trial the name was had Ray gonna

for being the one new Ray don't go still? And since wait, I
got the time climpse another gold son. You was empty and our tongues were
tired running on things the same that EBA used to be. As I got
it, and I watched to drive away just for a molded dollars back at
school, it felt that awful familiar pay and as I learned to make my
lavy by all the snow turned in way. This is the latest weather forecast
from news Radio seven hundred wl jh oh. It's chilli out there this morning.
As temperas are in the mid thirties when you kick things off, you
do warm to the low forties this afternoon with the mostly cloudy skies. You
start off with sunshine for your Sunday, but clouds build and temperaures back into
the mid forties. From a severe weather station. I'm nine first Warning Meteorologist
Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW. Some light rain across the tri
State right now, mostly in Hamilton County, and there is a light snow
mix as well around Forest Park and just to the south of Blue Ash,
but the rest of it is fairly dry. To be careful out there.
Roads are wet right now. It is thirty seven degrees. Next updated eight
thirty on Sandy Collins on news Radio seven hundred WLW, His News twenty four
hours a day, News Radio, seven hundred WLW. God Bless President Trump.
Welcome to another hour the Saturday Morning edition for Saturday, December thirtieth,
twenty twenty three. Gary Jeff Walker with you. That's me and you or
you and that's perfectly fine with me too, seven hundred WLW. Lots of
stuff going on, and as we close out the year. I'm glad this
is going on right now because I talk to people who listen to the show
and they always invariably mentioned this guy Science might back in for an end of
the year Science minute. Yes, but night blinding me, Good morning,
Michael, I'm not I'm not fooling if people talk that people talk about the
show, they talk about the gifts from Wally, they talk about the music
professor segment, and almost always they will mention science. Mike, I like
that science, my guy. So you have a lot of you have a
lot of fans out there. How many years have you been doing this anyway,
Michael jes a piece that's at thirteen now, is it thirteen? Yeah?
So about so about equally half the time I've been on the air on
Saturday mornings, You've been doing these little science shots for us, and we
got we actually have plenty of plenty of time this morning, so that don't
feel rushed. But it was how Billy Billy Joel says when we wore a
younger man's clothes. Yeah, absolutely, Actually no, I don't really change
my wardrobe that much, and I'm actually just wearing old clothes. It's funny
because my buddy sent out a pictures from nineteen eighty seven we went on a
fishing trip. I still have the hat, I still have the shirt.
I think I threw away the shorts, but it's like I had two thirds
of everything I was wearing. I still found in the basement. I still
have my I mean I don't. I don't buy clothes. I wait for
my wife to do it for Christmas. And she did. She up and
she could be some nice little pullover shirts that I like. The students in
this country have it easy. Oh, there's no question about that. I
think back to the taking the SATs, the SAT test to get into colleges.
Now it's like it's a three hour test. But I was looking online
and I've read this before, but I was fully with the Sun Young Test,
the College Scholastic Ability test. To see that test that's offered in South
Korea's it runs from a forty am to five forty five pm only on the
only it's only given on a Thursday, okay, and this year was November
seventeenth. They do it on only on Thursdays in order to get the test
out. You know, it takes a week to get the test out to
the different areas that they're going to administer the test. Now, when this
test is they take this test that no construction, there's no air the airspace
is closed. They don't want any distractions for these kids at all. The
stock market is even delayed from opening, and the teachers have to wear special
shoes. They don't make noise when they walk and when they when the teachers
build the test, they are sent off into a secluded location for a month
and no no phones, nothing are allowed, taking nothing with them electronics and
build the test questions and then they're allowed to come back into society while they
take they format the test structure. What's interesting this year, Jerry Jeff is
there's the test that says is a several parts obviously math, science and English
and languages, the things that were not teaching kids anymore in this country.
Yet they ended the first test ninety seconds early. Okay, the students are
suing for fifteen thousand dollars apiece for this one location where they cut the first
section off ninety seconds early. They're suing for like fifteen thousand dollars. Whoever
the test administrators were, because they they ended ninety seconds early on this like
hour and a half portion of the test. My gods, I mean,
they take this stuff very serious. Like I remember taking my ACT and I
didn't I didn't find it tremendously difficult. I didn't do tremendously well. I
did it well enough to, you know, get into a college. But
I can't imagine eight nine hours of testing and the teachers wearing certain kinds of
shoes and in the whole right, Yeah, it's it's, it's, it's
it's. I look at some of the questions and I don't. I just
sad, there's no way. Well, I mean, this is another example
of why the United States is falling so behind in every almost every educational discipline
and subject. And Asians, uh, you know, and you're talking about
South Korea here are excelling and you know, have long since passed American students
by for the most part. It's because of there's this dedication to education that
they have that we simply do not have in this country anymore. We even
some of the entrances buying will require the ACT or SAT scores anymore. Just
write a really good letter or something on that nature, you know, well,
especially if you check a certain box. Although I hopefully the Supreme Court
is into that. Uh. And I wonder in South Korea if they call
this standardized testing racist. Probably not, Michael, Happy New Year. I'll
look forward to twenty twenty four when more science minutes and people asking about you.
Okay, yes, sir, I appreciate it. Take care. Seven
hundred WLW. Hey, guys, I've got a shocking secret for yous.
Ladies like to do, whether you're with us or not. In fact,
some of us enjoy it more when we're doing it by ourselves. Listening to
seven hundred wlw's live stream on the iHeartRadio app may be shocking for some people,
but it's the perfect way to listen to the Big One wherever you are.
Let's face it, I can turn an app on as easily as a
guy can listen to seven hundred WLW anywhere anytime on the iHeartRadio app. Take
a look under your bed. Find stuff under there? What about jobs?
No? Now, try your basement. There's a pair of overalls that overall
you're not so into anymore, a perfectly good laptop that hasn't sat in your
lap in months. And it's even more stuff but still no jobs. Well
you really have both. See stuff is defined as household articles considered as a
group. Sometimes this stuff is no longer needed. Wait, no longer needed.
That can't be right, because remember those jobs you were looking for,
Those are really needed, and they're the stuff inside your stuff, even inside
that winter code that moved with you to Phoenix. Our job is to unlock
those jobs. And it starts when you donate your stuff to your local Goodwill.
Here's how we do it. When you donate to Goodwill, we sell
your stuff to provide job training for people right here in your community. So
just by teaming up with Goodwill, you help create jobs. And isn't that
worth partying with the leftover key tar from your eighties cover band? Goodwill?
Donate stuff, create jobs. Find your nearest donation center at Goodwill dot org.
A message from Goodwill in the ad Council. I started the morning with
some messy whether in places, roads are wet. It's not going to be
that way, old inner program, And one of the ways I try and
do that my own personal belief, is spreading the truth, the good news
of the Gospel and more. I'm gonna let it shine. I'm gonna let
it shine, mister lin I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine. Yeah. You know, some people
have soul brothers. I've got a spirit brother. His name is Rick Green
from Spirit Work, Cincinnati, and he's with us once again on a Saturday.
Good morning, brother Green, how are you hey? Good morning Gary.
I just got down praying for you and your listeners. Girl, I
gotta tell you something. When you put me on hold, God just opened
up and started speaking to me, and it just hit me, Gary,
this segment isn't a Rick thing. It isn't a Gary thing. It's a
God thing. God said, say my name, spread my word, and
that's exactly what I'm gonna do to well. Praise Jesus, go, Oh
my God. The Book of Galatian, chapter six thirteen, Gary, I
pray that we close the year with this and open twenty twenty four with this.
God says, Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good
to all people. We have to hear that, Gary, all people,
it's nefew to those who belong to the family of believers. That's God's word.
Gary, It's a good word, and You're right. If you start
with that, it's the perfect place to make the next year a better year
for all of us. Rick Green, thank you for being a part of
my twenty twenty three and I look forward to twenty twenty four spending some time
on Saturday mornings with you and the word of God. God bless you.
Gary. I love you all and have a great gay, fantastic breaking Come
back in a moment seven under WLW this morning at nine, Mike Allen Rands
raves and then calms down with a Virgin LIMERICKI on seven hundred WLW, iHeartRadio
and ABC. Well, it's chili out there this morning. As tempaters are
in the mid thirties when you kick things off, you do warm to the
low forties this afternoon with the mostly cloudy skies. You start off with sunshine
for your Sunday, but clouds build in temperas back into the mid forties.
That's your nine first won in forecast, I'm meteorologist Cameron Harden's seven hundred WLW
one Sports. That's an entirely different forecast than what I've been reading old.
But you know what, they're only right about twenty percent of the time anyway.
Here's a guy who's trying to get it right every time. Liam Tomlinson
with a report on sports, Sir. Kentucky falls to Clemson to the tax
Player Gator Bowl thirty eight to thirty five yesterday afternoon. Both teams combined for
a forty two point fourth quarter. Missouri tops Ohio State fourteen to three in
the Connon Bowl last night, Notre Dame dominated Oregon State forty to eight Tony
the Tiger Sun Bowl. Memphis at Iowa State in the Autazone Liberty Bowl yesterday
thirty six to twenty six. Rocky Boyman our own seven hundred WLW host on
the call. Memphis played a bowl game at home in the Liberty Bowl.
Mississippi today faces Penn State and the Chick fil A Peach Bowl today at noon.
Auburn plays Maryland and the Music City Bowl at two. Georgia meets Florida
State and the Capitol One Orange Bowl. Kickoff is at four in Toledo and
yom And face off in the Arizona Bowl today at four thirty. And of
course on New Year's Day, we get the College Football Championship games, Yes,
Alabama Michigan to start the day and to end at Washington and Texas too.
I think that's two very exciting games. I'm very much looking forward to
watching this all right, fantastic. We got uc a winner last night at
home against Devonsville. They came back in the second half to cruise to victory,
and UK also with a big, big win on the courts. Yesterday,
the Wildcats continue their march against Illinois state in the game last night,
and the Bengals play the Kansas City Chiefs. Are begin our coverage and the
Home of the Best Bengals coverage begins at twelve noon, kickoff at four point
thirty as the Bengals still trying to stay in the playoff picture Lim I wanted
to tell you as we close this new year, it's been a pleasure getting
to know you. And I'm sorry that you're leaving because all my producers eventually
leave after a few months, but we don't know exactly when that'll be.
But I'm looking forward to next year with you, and at this stage of
my career, one of the great joys I have is like introducing young people,
people who are new to the business, to the business and letting them
know, if not how to do it right, how not to do it.
And I hope, I hope that tutelage has been passed on to you
sufficiently and it will continue. Yeah, I've definitely learned a lot from you,
the Gary Jeff Walker. I don't know if it's good or bad yet.
I guess we'll figure out more down do this more, Like I said,
sure, if it's do this or do not. Definitely do not do
what Gary Jeff does. Either way, it's instructive and I feel like I've
helped another human being on the planet. As as always do as you will,
you will again eventually leave. They all leave me, They all jilt
me. So I'm not expecting you're the problem. Twenty seven producers in almost
twenty seven years. Yeah. Maybe gifts from Wally up in a few minutes
and also a conversation to end the year with Moegger on the way on seven
hundred WLW. This is Katino Mobley. This is What's trending from Iheartsports Network

Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news radio seven hundred WLW thirty seven degrees in Cincinnati.
Next News at nine, I'm Sandy Collins on news radio seven hundred WLWB News
twenty four hours a day. He was a radio seven hundred WLW Good Morning
Kids. Time for gifts from Wally helping the homeless guys. Walking down the
street, he's accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby looking homeless man who ask
him for a couple of bucks for dinner. The man gets out his wallet,
takes a ten dollar bill out, and says, now, if I
give you this money, will you buy beer instead of dinner? He said,
No, I had to stop drinking years ago. My liver. Will
you use it to gamble instead of buying food? No? I don't gamble.
I need everything I can get just to stay alive. Well, will
you spend this on say greens fees at a golf course instead of on food?
Said? Are you nuts, I haven't golfed in over twenty years.
Will you spend the money on a hooker instead of food? The man asked,
So, what kind of disease am I going to get for ten lousy
bucks? The homeless man says, I said, well, I'll tell you
what. I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going
to take you home for a wonderful, home cooked dinner made by my beautiful
wife. The homeless guy is astounded. He said, won't your wife be
furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty and I'd probably smell
awful. The man replied, that's okay. It's important for her to see
what happens to a man after he's given up beer, gambling, golf and
sex. Seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, available everywhere with the iHeartRadio app den

year seven under WLW Saturday Morning Edition, Gary jump Walker with you at eight
thirty nine another one of those segments that people always talk about when they talk
about this show. This is unsolicited that they just always say, yeah,
I heard you with Mo. Love the segment with Mo. I've got questions
for Mo. Here he is one more time this year, Mo eggar,
Hey, Mo, look up serious people and this appointment listening radio show.
This is one of the appointments that a lot of people make. I'm not
sure why, but apparent apparently people like you. They really like you,
like Sally Fields when she won an oscar. Today Today Mo is tiger Wood's
forty eighth birthday. And I suggest to Liam. I suggested to Liam after
the show that we should go to a waffle house and maybe he can pick
up a waitress in honor. But it's never over. It never ends,
No, it never ends. All right, So the question I have for
you first off, and when we'll go through each one of these, I'm
sure you've talked to your jaws off about all of these topics at the end
of the year kind of stuff. What do you think was the biggest local
sports story in Cincinnati? Was it Joey Vodo's last track around the basis for
the Reds? Was it the Joe Burrow injury. Was it FC Cincinnati's incredible
MLS season? What do you think? I think the biggest story was the
fact that the city fell in love with the Reds this summer. You know,
everything you just mentioned, all those things were huge. You know,
the Joe Burrow injury, Jake Browning's ascension, Joey playing his last game as
Red sc Cincinnati's run, all of that awesome. But you know, the
Reds in twenty twenty two, it was it was hard doing what we do
and trying to engage people in a team that people just checked out on.
And I said often this summer that what was so great about this year's team
from a professional standpoint was when we talked about baseball, we actually talked about
baseball. We didn't talk about ownership or selling the team or why people weren't
going to games. It was, you know, you don't want to see
it. It came from from out of left field, because the Reds have
been accumulating some good young talent for a while. But the fact that the
Reds went from losing one hundred games in twenty twenty two to being in first
place in August and being in playoff contention until the final Saturday of the season,
and doing it with this collection of young guys that just, you know,
it felt like every single time a guy got promoted to the big leagues,
he stepped in and contributed almost immediately. The fact that the foundations for
the future seems so bright. I think that was the story of the year,
because if I would have said to you one year ago today, the
Reds are going to get through a season, and they're going to be in
first place late in the summer, and they're going to be in playoff contention
through game one sixty, you would have said, there's no way. And
yet that's exactly what happened. I tell you, Moe, and I guess
I'm just you know, going along the tide with everybody else in town on
the Reds. Is that I actually made plans to watch games on television.
I mean plans to listen to the game the Reds are on. I wanted
to hear. I wanted to see what was next in that lineup of these
young kids who had just come up, and all this promise for you know,
wait till next year kind of took on a whole new meaning as the
season closed because there was something actually to anticipate for twenty twenty four, and
it was because of all the things you just mentioned. I agree, just
incredible. Today is also Lebron James' birthday and this could be his last season.
And I know you're an NBA fan of sorts, you love basketball.
As Lebron James turns thirty nine, which is just unfathomable to me that Lebron
James is thirty. You know, I remember the eighteen year old or nineteen
year old manchild coming in, you know, and you know, Lebron really
hasn't cracked much. So, I mean he is the NBA's elite players still
to this day at the age of thirty nine. Just to reflections on Lebron
and what could be his last NBA season, no player in the history of
the NBA has had a longer prime. You know, I think people I
hate the silly Lebron Jordan debate because it's not used to prop up either guy.
It's used to denigrate one or the other, and it's lazy, and
you know, I just it's the most trite played out debate in all of
sports. What I think is an arguable is no player has ever had a
larger, longer prime than Lebron James. His rookie season was two thousand and
three. We're about to cross over into twenty twenty four, and he's still
easily one of the top five players in the sport. There has never been
I think a more impressive physical specimen. And you know, look, he's
had some team failures that he has obviously been complicited when it comes to,
you know, his NBA Finals record, but the fact that you have a
player, and look, Lebron, if he wants to play into his forties
and still be an effective player, still be an All Star caliber player.
With the way he has sort of continued to refine his game and have it
evolved, I wouldn't put it past him to be a really good player in
this league for years to come. He's that good. He takes that kind
of care of his body, he's that physically imposing. And I think the
other thing about Lebron that I've always really appreciated in an era where and the
NBA has gone out of its way to sort of legislate this, in an
era where many of the stars don't play, Lebron consistently has led the league
in minutes played now not so much in recent years, which you can understand
as he's moved in to his late thirties. But he plays a heavy workload.
He plays at times every position. He's had the longest prime in the
history of the sport twenty years, a twenty year prime, and he's still
going. Has the College football Championship diminished the other bowl games? And we
have so many bowl games going on, and you see players more and more
in Malvern Harrison Junior, for example, in the olhih State game with the
Cotton Bowl not playing and the quarterback who started the season for Ohio State is
transferring and it doesn't play in the game. But do you think the College
Football Championship, the way it's set up now has has diminished the what used
to be an honor if you earned a bowl berth in college football previously,
even if it wasn't a major bowl game, you still that that was a
big boon for your university, for the players. The players got pumped about
it. I just don't see that kind of enthusiasm anymore on the bulls that
aren't part of that championship. You yeah, you're right, you're right.
The answer is yes, now, I think this has been happening for a
while. I think the first thing was, you know, we started to
have too many balls, because I think we're both older enough to remember when
there were, you know, not a handful of balls, but there were
there were only so many balls, to the degree that it made each one
of them a little bit more special. Well, when you have close to
forty the more you have of something, the less special anything is. So
I think you start with that. And then just the way the sport has
evolved. You started to have coaches leaving for one school and bailing on another
before they played in a ballgame, and the coach not coaching in the ball
game. Okay, well that's that sort of sends a signal these games aren't
that meaningful. And then the hyper focus on the playoff, the expansion of
the playoff to four teams, next year's expansion to twelve teams. Yes,
I mean there's such an intense focus on the championship in the playoffs and who's
going to compete for the whole thing that these ball games their meaningfulness and their
prestige has just taken a major hit. And then, look, I think
there's one way to fix it. I think there's one way to help fix
it, and that's for the ball games to hand out a peering seize the
players. Because you're right. I mean, you look across the sport.
You know dozens and dozens and dozens of players have checked out of bowl games.
Florida State, which you could argue should be playing for a national championship.
This weekend, they're playing Georgia in a bowl game, and nearly every
good Florida State player has either opted out or already hit the transfer portal.
That game is likely to be not at all representative of the season that Florida
State had, So you're exactly right. I think what you do is just
say, okay, the bowl games can pay appearances to individual players, and
then maybe not all, probably not most, but at least some of the
better players on each team would be compelled to actually play well. And to
that point that you just made, the idea of a student athlete is completely
dead in college sports, I think because of the nil because of appearance feel.
It's been dead for a while, but we finally just coming out in
the open admitting it. There are no such thing as student athletes anymore in
major college sports. Well, I don't know if I agree with that.
I think I know plenty of student athletes who choose to be a student athlete.
I think what has happened is, you know, first of all,
I'm a huge proponent of everybody being able to get paid whatever they can get
paid. It's happening out in the open though now right we know, maybe
we don't know where the specific dollar figures are, but we know that the
guys and in many respects the women are getting paid. So I'm here for
that. I think what has really thrown the sport in the chaos, and
again I'm a proponent of this as well, is the ability to transfer and
do so without having to sit out a year now you know, full transparency.
I believe that should be the case. I don't think you should have
to sit out a year of competition for transferring. But it has created,
along with nil free agency, call it what it is, it's created pay
for play, call it what it is. Has that diminished the student part
of student athlete for many Yes, But I can also tell you being around
the UC program the way I am, there are no shortage of young men
who take the student part of that very very seriously, that doesn't get as
much attention. And you know, you do wonder when you have athletes skipping
around from three to four schools at a time during their college career, what
impact does that have on their academics. But yeah, a lot of what
we have suspected about college sports is now out in the open, and I
think the players have sort of wrestled control away from the coaches and from the
schools. And I'll be honest with you, I kind of like that,
are you a proponent of us getting paid as much as we can. I'm
a proponent of anybody getting paid as much as they can. I am anti
salary cap, I am anti maximum salary, and I am anti restrictions on
name, image, enlightenness compensation. Yeah, I'm anti minimum wage because I'm
anti maximum wage. I'm with you in that one too. So the last
question, two weeks left in the NFL season, let's kind of steer clear
of the Bengals for a second. God knows, we talk about the Bengals
all the time. At the Home of the Best Bengals coverage. We're our
flagship station here for the Men and Stripes, the Houdaeites. But let's talk
about the last two weeks of the NFL season, starting with tonight Lions at
Cowboys. Dallas plays great at home. Detroit has been maybe the surprise of
the entire NFC this year. What happens well, Dallas is at home where
you're right, they've been amazingly good, averaging nearly averaging nearly forty points per
game. I think what's interesting about the Detroit Lions is, you know,
they can score with anybody. They've got Jamier Gibbs, They've got a Monree
Saint Brown. Defensively, I think their secondary leaves a little bit to be
desired. But I think we've sort of talked about the NFC the way we
talked about the AFC last year, where it's three teams, right, it's
San Francisco, it's Stilly, it's Dallas. Can the Detroit Lions go on
the road with their division title wrapped up and beat a really good team that
has won fifteen straight games in their own building and kind of enter the conversation
as legitimate NFC contender. And you know, look the Cowboys tonight, they're
at home. If they win, everybody's gonna say yes. Because they're at
home. Chances are. They're going to be the five seed, which means
they're going to have to win multiple playoff games on the road if they're going
to get to the super Bowl. And I can't find anybody who thinks they
can do that. The Baltimore Ravens clearly the class of the AFC. Yes,
clearly, Yes. Now, I think tomorrow is going to be a
great game between the Ravens and the Miami Dolphins. I certainly lean bolt more.
Feels like Lamar Jackson wrapped up his MVP. Defensively, they're just so
fast, so quick to the ball. But the Dolphins do have the number
one scoring offense in the NFL. They'll have a bit of a rest advantage
because Baltimore is coming back home after playing on Monday Night on the West Coast.
And the Ravens have had a lot of injuries. You know, Mark
Andrews, they're tight end, suffered an injury against the Bengal. Keaton Mitchell,
running back was injured two weeks ago. They lost Kyle Hamilton during that
game on Monday Night. It feels like he's avoided any sort of serious injury.
But yeah, I think if you were if you were to look at
the AFC and say I'm going to take one team versus the field. It
would have to be the rave. All right, we we'll have a great
have a great New Year's celebration, and we'll talk to you next year.
I hope I look forward to it. Thank you all. Fantas Moegor with
us and Mike Allen here now Saturday midday is just getting ready to commence in
a few moments. Michael, how you doing, buddy? How about that
rest conference yesterday by the governor of Ohio. I am still really one of
the weakest things I've seen him do, and I've seen him do a lot
of weak things, including remember during COVID cow tewing to that woman who no
one elected, and following these instructions that were we have been proven now to
be ridiculous and futile in the face of a cold virus. And now what
he did yesterday was guarantee to veto legislation that would prevent the most heinous kind
of child abuse. And it's not about medical decisions or important decisions that family
should make. You know, That's the same thing as Governor DeWine saying,
well, it's your they're your children, and if you want to have sex
with them or want to invite the neighbor next door to have sex with them,
It's okay. That's an important family decision. The state doesn't need to
be involved in that. I'm still reeling. The question I would like to
ask is why you know you and I are talk off the air. He
did a three page statement to supplement the press conference as to his reasons for
vetoing the bill, and it was two parts. It was the part you
just talked about the gender transitioning, but the second part were biological men playing
in girls and women's athletics. He didn't even comment on that. He didn't
even touch it. I mean, did anything. Does he say anything in
the statement about it? Nothing? Nothing, unless I missed it, and
I looked at it more than a couple of times. I mean, the
overwhelming majority of this country, and the great overwhelming majority of Republicans do not
support that. We're supposed to be the ones. The overwhelming majority of the
country does not agree with child with child to transitioning. No, not transitioning,
it's mutilation. Just call it what it is. I mutated before before
puberty even starts puberty blockers because before kids have a chance to actually grow inform
their idiot parents or some doctor can decide that they need to have their stuff
chopped off. It's it's absurd. It's Joseph Mingela type a Nazi Germany crap
and he just said it's okay because it's a family decision. We're supposed to
be the ones Republicans stopping this crap, not permitting it. I've got Genie
Schmidt coming on at eleven o'clock ten thirty, and she's gonna tell us I
believe that they're going to get their act together and try to override this veto,
and it looks like they might have the votes to do it. Well,
you know the biological men playing in women's sports, Well that's unbelievably heinous
too. It's nothing like the child mutilation that goes on. You know,
did you, in your wildest dreams, this is say, five ten years
ago, think we'd even be talking about this, Not in my wildest nightmares.
Mike Allen, Saturday Midday, come up up next, thanks to Liam
Tomlinson, Thanks to you, and after the show show on it huddles,
