And that's just 6 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:33.880 Milwaukee at the Republican National Convention in Arlington, Texas. As you just heard 7 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.840 the American League prevailing once again as they've done so many times in the recent 8 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:44.759 pass of five to three victory over the National League. And yes, Cincinnati 9 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:53.320 Reds prominently involved in the outcome. Some good, some not so good. 10 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.359 Here to talk about this with me tonight.

At five one three 13 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:10.599 seven for nine seven thousand, a guy who was a member of the original 14 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.239 rail Gang, remember the rail Gang back at Riverfront Stadium. I don't know 15 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.319 if he does, we'll ask him here in a minute, but one of 16 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:29.719 the people he was like the leader of these guys is our first and perhaps 17 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.480 only guest, unless you want to chime in and add into anything that we 18 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.519 are talking about. In the aftermath of the Midsummer Classic, the one and 19 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.400 only wild Man Walker joins us. Hello wild Man, Hello Gary, Jeff. 20 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.280 How you doing. I'm fine, man, It's it's late. I'm 21 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.560 up past my bedtime most of the night. Oh, I'll be up to 22 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.599 at least three o'clock because Leave It the Beaver comes on it too, So 23 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.040 make sure I get to watch that. So so you actually set your schedules 24 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.840 so you can watch Leave It to Beaver in the middle of the night. 25 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.480 Well, I'm a night out anyway, but I know, you know. 26 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.560 Well, the good thing is it used to be on at three and they 27 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.000 moved it to two, so hey, I save it. I had to 28 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.199 picking up an extra hour of sleeps to watch that when I was a kid 29 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.159 at three o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, it's still great. It's still 30 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.800 a great show, it really is. Who's your favorite? You like Wally, 31 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.000 you like Whitey, You like Eddie Haskell. You seem like you'd be 32 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.479 an Eddie Haskell guy. I'm an Eddie Haskell guy all the way, all 33 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.680 the way that's a nice dress. Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert and Gilbert and 34 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.000 Richard were two little pumps who always got Beaver in trouble. The same thing 35 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.680 with Larry, But Larry was written out of the show because of his mother. 36 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.159 His mother was real demanding and stuff. That's why they wrote him out 37 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.479 of the show. You know, I should ask our producer, the person 38 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.319 who was actually controlling things. We're just filling time, but our producer's controlling 39 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.960 things in the booth. Kenzie, if she even knows what Leave It to 40 00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:02.319 Beaver is okay? Thank you. Leave It to Beaver was a sitcom back 41 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:08.319 in the early sixties, probably before your parents were born. When were your 42 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:17.240 parents born? Did you hear that, wild Man, No, I didn't 43 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.319 hear that. Oh she's telling me in my ear. She doesn't know Lever 44 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.560 to Beaver and her dad was born in nineteen eighty her mom was born in 45 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.280 nineteen eighty two. Tell her to google it up. She can watch it 46 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.360 on her she can watch episodes on her phone. I think it'd be very 47 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:42.000 edifying for anyone who was not exposed to the Cleaver family in America that you 48 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.520 and I remember. But Kenzie would never know about and well, the writing 49 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.960 in the show was tremendous. It was tremendous writing. Well, yeah, 50 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.599 I'm trying to think back to the last time I saw a rerun. But 51 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.719 the situations in the writing were a certain place and time America, in a 52 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.680 certain place in time in America, I think the All Star Game had more. 53 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.120 Maybe if someone out writing could be used today to make this country better. 54 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.400 Well, I mean they're writing new scripts in Milwaukee right now as we 55 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.240 speak at the publican national convention to make America great again. But anyway, 56 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.319 let's tale. Let's talk about the game. That's what we're here for this 57 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.360 half hour, and I invite anybody to chime in with our opinions of what 58 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.879 we got, a whole list of list. I know you do, That's 59 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:34.800 why I ask you to be a guest. So let's talk first about the 60 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:42.319 two Reds that made appearances tonight, one in a positive way, one in 61 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.319 not such a positive way. And let's start with the bad news first. 62 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.319 The bad news first is that Hunter Green, coming on in relief, gets 63 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.480 the l because he gives up a two run shot, the game winning home 64 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.720 run after the National League gets stay make themselves a three to nothing lead. 65 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.519 American League Claws back as you knew they would, especially playing in a home 66 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.680 park for the American League. They're in Texas, and Hunter Green comes in 67 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:19.439 and he does what we've seen him do so many times over the course of 68 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.399 his career. Now he can be a dominating pitcher. There's no doubt that 69 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:30.120 he has amazing stuff. He has an incredible heater, but he does give 70 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.160 up the long ball quite a bit. And that's the trade off you make 71 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.000 with a Hunter Green. You can't say that they didn't give him run support, 72 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.879 because he's had virtually none this year with the Reds, even in great 73 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.560 pitching performances. But he comes in and he gives up the you know, 74 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.319 the the neck breaker that winds up being the backbreaker for the National League. 75 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:59.600 Your thoughts well, Hunter Green two hits two runs, one of mos At 76 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:00.959 home runs, which wasn't the difference. The guy that hit the home run 77 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:06.639 off of him won m v P honors. He was lucky, Garry Cheff 78 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.639 that he didn't give up two home runs because Corey Seeger took him right to 79 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.680 the base of the wall. Yeah, that could have been two home runs 80 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.879 for s for Li de la Cruz, Hey first time up, he gets 81 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:23.160 a single second time up, he grounded out. They put him at third 82 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.560 base tonight. That's right, they played put him at third base. He 83 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.079 had one ball hit to him, he fielded it flawlessly, and uh, 84 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.839 you know, there you go. But you got you gotta admit, and 85 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.319 I think anybody listening has got to admit. When he got on base that 86 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:43.279 first time up, Okay, he's on base, man, let's see some 87 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:47.160 de la Cruz magic. But I guess in that situation, he didn't really 88 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.199 have a chance to, uh swipe another bag. But I was hoping every 89 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.560 I was hoping he was gonna, you know, swipe a second too. 90 00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.199 Yeah, stranded at second. That's that's your first thought. When La de 91 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.120 la Cruz gets on base in any game, it's like, okay, let's 92 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.720 watch the fireworks. And sadly, we didn't see any tonight out of La. 93 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.519 But again, in his first Major League All Star Game, he's been 94 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.199 in the league a little over a year and he's already an All Star. 95 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.879 He's batten two fifty six or two fifty three on the season. He's got 96 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:29.759 fifteen home runs forty six stolen bases. The last player to have those kind 97 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.680 of breaks at the All Star Game and home runs in stolen bases was Ricky 98 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:39.040 Henderson. So we're talking about a Hall of Famer there in Henderson and La 99 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.600 de la Cruz a little early start comparing to Ricky. I'm just silly. 100 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.879 Ricky Henderson is the only other player to do that by the All Star Game. 101 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.519 And that's what I'm saying. No, I'm not saying La de la 102 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.680 Cruz is a Hall of Famer. I'm just saying there's all. There's all 103 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.360 kind of wacky statue can pull out. You know, they've been pulling out 104 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.079 left and right, especially with you know, the the the Hindes guy that 105 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.279 they brought up and you know somebody that hasn't done that since nineteen hundred. 106 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.199 Bottom line is it comes down to wins and losses. You know, they 107 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.680 can have all the home runs they want and score all the runs they wanted, 108 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.879 they don't win games. Those stats to meet don't mean DULEE squad, 109 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.360 They really don't. Other thoughts on that, how about uh well, how 110 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.040 about how about Otani? How about show well, the the baseball fans got 111 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.639 to see two of the best players produce. Otani with that three run homer 112 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.559 and then uh Soto with with the Yankees coming up with that doubles, so 113 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.120 two of the bigger stars produced. Fans got their moneys, weren't there. 114 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:43.240 The American League continues to be the daddy of the National League. Now Kenneth 115 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.879 won and their last eleven All Star Games. Okay, but here it was, 116 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.480 it was it was an okay game. Gear it wasn't it wasn't you 117 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.440 know, it wasn't that great. But the thing was those uniforms and the 118 00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:00.000 caps that the players had to wear. Those were hideous. Those were hideous. 119 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.039 I can't believe that I remember. And and again maybe I'm sounding like, 120 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.279 you know, mister old school guy, which I guess I am to 121 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.360 a certain extent. But I loved it when you wore the uniform of your 122 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.679 team, whether it's road or away. You you wore the if you're the 123 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.159 if you're the visiting team in the All Star Game, you wear your your 124 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.919 road uniform of your team. And uh then if you're the home team, 125 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.919 you wear your home uniform of your specific ball club. You couldn't give me 126 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.679 it. You couldn't give me one of those jerseys or a cap to wear 127 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.960 for free. I wouldn't. Those were just awful, a god awful, 128 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.200 and exactly I want to see La de la Cruz and Hunter Green wearing the 129 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.960 Reds uniforms and drop Manfred already came out this. I saw this about an 130 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.000 hour ago, that they're going to address that issue next year to go back 131 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.840 to the uniforms, like duh, duh. Well, you know the fans. 132 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.360 The fans want that they look like softball or uniforms. Man, I 133 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.039 didn't know what they were when I I first saw them. I'm going, 134 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.519 oh, okay, they've got their home they've got their home logo on their 135 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:13.679 caps. At least that kind of demarcates who's playing and who they play for. 136 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.159 If you didn't know, as you know, just a casual fan tuning 137 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:22.159 in right with a casual fan, exactly do you? And major League Baseball 138 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.679 can't you get out of its own way? They really can't. I mean, 139 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.600 especially after what happened yesterday, which I want to talk about. Why 140 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.000 don't you want to talk You do want to talk about her? You don't? 141 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.279 Oh yeah, well yeah, major League Baseball? Yeah, what for 142 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.360 what happened yesterday at the home run derby? Okay, well tell me about 143 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.879 it. I did not want to call. That's so called country singer that 144 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.039 sang the national anthem. I mean, she had every dog in Arlington, 145 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.000 Texas howling. And then she came out and said, well, I was 146 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.919 drunk. Yeah, you were drunk, all right. She had BedHead on 147 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.840 top of that. And then now she comes out and says, I'm drunk 148 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.159 and I'm going to go into rehab. I hear rehab is is, uh 149 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.440 is good? But she's making a joke about it. I'm so I'm not 150 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.159 I'm not accepting her apology. It was a disgrace. Whoever let her on 151 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:09.200 the field should they should be fired. Whoever hired her should be fired. 152 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.679 I mean, if she's got people around her, supposedly because she's a two 153 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.799 time Grammy nominee or whatnot. I mean, didn't her people see her that 154 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.039 she was liquored up and they let her go out there and so called sing 155 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.320 the national anthem. It was a freaking disgrace, man, It really was 156 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.200 the freaking disgrace. And I'm not buying her apology. I'm sorry, I'm 157 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.840 not buying it. I'd never even heard of Ingrid Andress exactly before exactly uh 158 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:41.519 and see, I don't know, would would you rather had Roseanne bar Well, 159 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.039 I was at San Diego with Roseanne bar anthem. You were there. 160 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:52.759 I was there when she and grabbed her crotch and that. Yeah. Oh, 161 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.879 I was out in the concession area. I was just waiting for the 162 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.120 national anthem to be over, and I went up to my press box seeks 163 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.080 because I was on the road trip of the Reds that year and I went 164 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.080 out there for the road trip. I thought I was booing that. I 165 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.200 was yelling at the TV and these old ladies are walking by, you know. 166 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.840 I was yelling of sentitings at the TV because it was just it was 167 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.159 a freaking joke. And the spin Gary, the spin that Padres pr department 168 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.559 tried to put on that after she did that was hilarious. It was the 169 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.679 lamest excuse that they could come up with. They had nothing to say, 170 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.480 Well, this is just so bad this woman. Now, it was so 171 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:31.559 embarrassing that the first story I see pop up says she is entering rehab. 172 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.639 Right, one bad performance and you got to go sober up Somewhere that year, 173 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.720 I was I was drunk, I'm just sorry whatever, whatever, And 174 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.240 like I said, if you look at the if you go online, look 175 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.519 at her singing she's got BedHead to top it off and go out to wash 176 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.039 her hair. I want what she went out onto the field. I want 177 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.720 to ask you an honest question, wild man, and whoever gave her the 178 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.120 damn microphone should be fired because they should have seen something coming. I went, 179 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.480 I put a stop to it. I want to ask you an honest 180 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.320 question. What's that? And I expect an honest answer. Okay, have 181 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.679 you ever been somewhere to perform and been too drunk to be there, but 182 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.759 you went out and did it anyway? God, I don't know. No, 183 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.600 I don't have to think about it. I can tell you right now, 184 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.399 this second. It's happened to me. I have been too messed up 185 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.679 to be in public and still got up and spoke. It's been a long 186 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.279 time. It was very embarrassing, but I didn't instantly go into rehab, 187 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.279 So that's really tumultuous. That must have been more terrible than you're even describing. 188 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:43.080 I did not see it. I don't really Usually I pay attention to 189 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.200 the national anthem at the end of this show. Tonight we'll have the national 190 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.320 anthem play. We always end with the Star Spangled ban Around now the guy, 191 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.440 Yeah, the guy that's sank the national anthem tonight. I didn't catch 192 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.279 his name. He did a perfect job, perfect job. And that's the 193 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.320 way it should be. They shouldn't. We shouldn't really be talking at it. 194 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.159 But when you have something like this, this two time Grammy Award winner 195 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.759 go out there and you know, she had to rehearse the song because they 196 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.120 always rehearsed the song before they opened the gates. Now, maybe she went 197 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.799 I got dreamed after that. Maybe she started drinking after she did that. 198 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.759 But you know, we'll tell people there that should have stopped her. What 199 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.600 I'm gleaning from this conversation is you didn't really pay too much attention to the 200 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.840 home run derby afterwards. Let's let's talk about the event. No, don't 201 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.240 I know, I got rid of cable, so I don't you know, 202 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.000 I don't really care about the home run derby. I could care less. 203 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.519 I could care less. Yeah, it was exciting. It's lost its luster 204 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.879 to me. To me, it's lost its luster. It was exciting when 205 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.639 you had when you had the guys on the Juice and McGuire and so said, 206 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.320 it was kind of exciting, then, wasn't it. It was Okay, 207 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.720 I guess. I mean I never me and my son and I went. 208 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.759 I went to All Star games Gary in a row from nineteen eighty eight 209 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.480 to two thousand and eight, but I never went to a home run derby. 210 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.080 I just didn't have no interest in it. I just didn't get it, 211 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.919 you know, I whatever, what what I watched it? What are 212 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.960 the thoughts watched it? But what other thoughts do you have about the game 213 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.360 tonight? I don't have anything about the game. And I you know, 214 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.759 I said it was an okay game. You know, we got to see 215 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.000 our guys get in, which is good. There you go, I mean, 216 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.360 and you say it wasn't it the most exciting All Star game? I 217 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.120 mean, people got the CEO Tani hit a home run, They got to 218 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.799 see Juan Soto hit a double of a lot of the players got in that 219 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.360 Cleveland reliever when he came in in the United Then he's talk about a guy 220 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:35.519 with gas. Unbelievable. That guy, his slow stuff, his slow stuff 221 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.320 is hitting the one oh two. I tell you who impressed me and who 222 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.919 has impressed me every time a few times I've seen him this season is the 223 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.759 player for Pittsburgh the Air Force Academy guy Paul Skeins. You know what if 224 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.440 if he'd been allowed to pitch, because you don't do that in All Star 225 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.159 Games, But if he'd been allowed to pitch the entire game, it would 226 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.840 have I would have been on the air with you about nine o'clock because that 227 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:10.000 guy is lights out against the best hitters in the game. He made Aaron 228 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.440 Judge look like a piker. Gary Jeff Back in the day, the starter 229 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.320 of the All Star Game would go three innings. I don't know what happened 230 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.879 to that they were allowed to go three innings. We only got to see 231 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.799 that guy who's like the face of maybe of Major League Baseball. Now we 232 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.279 get to see him for one inning. I mean, come on, man, 233 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.080 leash and Ranny back out there for a second inning. But that's you 234 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.840 know, that's the way the All Star Game and baseball's becoming. It's just 235 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.399 they just can't get out of the way and screw things up all the time. 236 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.879 I don't know if you're aware of this, but next Wednesday, HBO 237 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:47.679 is doing a four part series on the life and tribulations and trials and whatnot 238 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.720 of one Pete Rose. Are you aware of that? You know I knew 239 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.960 that at some point in our conversation you would have to bring up Pete Rose. 240 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.639 But I don't blame you for that, and I'm I'm he totally deserves 241 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.519 the retrospective that they're going to give him because of his great accomplishments on the 242 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.599 field and all the controversy, and it makes for great drama. But I 243 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.559 knew that Peter Edward Rose would come up somewhere in our conversation. It always 244 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.640 does. Now what they will have to say in this four part series, 245 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.519 I have no idea, but I have a feeling I've heard it all. 246 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.880 I mean, what more can they, you know, talk about p Rose, 247 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.960 you know, as the player and as off the field activities. What 248 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.440 am I going to learn? What's it going to matter? All I know 249 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.240 is p Rose got a nice check for doing this. Okay, Well here's 250 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.440 here's what Here's what bugs me, Gary Jeff long as as long as he 251 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.960 doesn't spend it all fifteen minutes after he gets paid. No, he's fine. 252 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:52.359 No one, No one from HBO contacted me for a comment. No 253 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.000 one, but they did contact Get this now. See Trent Rosecranz, a 254 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.640 former beat writer the Reds who never saw Pete play here? Who never saw 255 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.920 Pete manage here? No, how dumb is that you're talking to a guy 256 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.319 who never saw Pete play in Cincinnati or you never saw him manage the Reds. 257 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.200 We're talking nineteen eighty nine, see Trent rosecram is wall Be at nine 258 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.920 years old. They didn't call me, so, you know whatever. I 259 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.240 don't know how this is going to turn out, but I'm glad. You 260 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.920 know, more people will get to learn about Pete Rose and we'll just see 261 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.119 if it's a hack job or watts. Did they talk to Jim Gray? 262 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.920 That's the question. I want to know they did not. I don't know. 263 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.240 I don't know they talked to Jim Dray. All Right, wild man, 264 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.319 let's turn attention to talk to Jim Gray with my knuckles right in his 265 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:44.240 head. Let's let's talk for a minute about the second half and your Cincinnati 266 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:48.640 Reds, my Cincinnati Rids, our Cincinnati Reds. What goes the rest of 267 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.680 the season? Are they sellers or buyers at the at the trade deadline? 268 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.880 And how do you think the rest of the season plays out? All right? 269 00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.200 Forty seven and fifty three games back of the last wild card, they 270 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.799 begin a ninth game road trip starting Friday, three in Washington, who are 271 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:10.480 not pushovers. Then three against the Tampa Bay Rays in Florida, and three 272 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.599 games against the Atlanta Braves, so two of the teams are over five hundred 273 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.720 and uh and then of course against the Nationals starting on Friday. They're not. 274 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.119 The Reds have nothing to trade. I mean they've been going back and 275 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.240 forth to Louisville and Chattanooga just to bring outfielders up here. Uh, they're 276 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.119 gonna stay in pat I'd be very surprised if they. But I don't know 277 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.720 how they can pick up anybody because they have nothing. They're trade. I 278 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.920 mean, the guys they maybe have trade bade or hurt, so they're not 279 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.960 They're not going to be buyers or sellers here. They're just gonna go with 280 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.519 what they've got and hopefully, you know, hopefully things work out. Matt 281 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.319 McLean's not gonna play this year. Only the white people can get all worked 282 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.240 up about him. He's not. He's not gonna be game ready. I 283 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.279 mean it's not of like, no Noble Marte. He's not game ready. 284 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.400 You can see that. Should have stayed down and trip away until maybe September 285 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.440 even though, he and if he can't play and he's not available for the 286 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:02.400 postseason, just remember that if they're that somehow get into the postseason, he's 287 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.599 ineligible. He's ineligible. Are you at least juiced about La de la Cruz 288 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.440 this year? And I know you see de la Cruz. I love the 289 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:17.279 guy And you got to admit that Jonathan India has been one of the few 290 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:22.319 bright sparks in this team. Yeah, and he is a leader, and 291 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.799 I think that La de la Cruz has become kind of a leader as a 292 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:30.880 rook It's these these players are young and they have a lot of potential. 293 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.680 I'd like to see the Reds hold on to him. I think LA's under 294 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:40.519 contract until twenty thirty, so the Reds don't have to worry about negotiating contract. 295 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.599 What about India? His name is always brought up as trade bait. 296 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.480 It was last year. You know, you know, there's always one player 297 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.480 in a Red's history that you hear that might be up up for trade. 298 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.839 Here's what's going to happen next year, Mark my work. Li de la 299 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.200 Cruz is going to center field and Matt McClain is going to be a shortstop. 300 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.599 Oh okay, I mean, Jonathan Ennio will be at second base. 301 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.000 What about putting la daily Cruise in the bullpen as a closer rocket arm. 302 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.759 Now now you're reaching, Now you're reaching. Hey. By the way, 303 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.480 Gary, the Reds only have as I speak, twenty seven home games left. 304 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.920 So remember that they've only got twenty seven home games left. They still 305 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.240 have to play the Braves six times. They've got to play the Minnesota Twins 306 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:25.000 three times. They've got to play the Oakland A's three times. They've got 307 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.240 to play the Cleveland Indians twice up there. So they've got some you know, 308 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:30.640 tough teams they got to play. I know the A's think, but 309 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.279 the A's are no pushover. The A's are not or not automatic to beat. 310 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.319 But the least they have them here and in Cincinnati. But only twenty 311 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.880 seven games. Here's here's the here's the question. And here's they'll have six 312 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.839 with the Pirates. Here's the question. Do the Reds make the playoffs? 313 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.920 No? No, they don't. No, they don't, And if they 314 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.119 did, they'd be one and done. It'd be one and done. They're 315 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.200 not. They're not making the playoffs this year. And in fact, I 316 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.880 think that may be the worst thing that can happen if they made the playoffs. 317 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.240 Well, wild man, you got plenty of time to make your popcorn 318 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.440 and maybe take a little cat nap. Leave it to Beaver's not on until 319 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:11.359 two. I appreciate you being part of this tonight, and thanks you, 320 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.359 thank you, And you're not gonna let me talk about Caitlin Clark. I 321 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.640 love Caitlin Clark. You know that. Well, if that, if that, 322 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.640 if that woman is not Rookie of the Year, there ought to be 323 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.680 a Senate investigation. And if that woman isn't on the Olympic team, I 324 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.000 mean what you know, you gotta be you gotta be kidding me, all 325 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.400 right, that woman is deserves to be on the Olympic team. I think 326 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.519 she's happy to get the break. Wild Man, thank you so much. 327 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.400 Have a wonderful evening. And uh, you know my name and look up 328 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.680 my number. So that's the flip side of uh let it be on the 329 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.400 Beatles forty five, one of the great Beatle compositions that nobody knows. You 330 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:55.559 know my name, look up my number. You you know my name? 331 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.680 And you were complaint song. You were complaining about the woman who sang the 332 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:07.200 national anthemate the heme all right, see you too. We'll take a break 333 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.640 and come back. This is the Nightcap All Star edition on seven hundred WLW. 334 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.480 Listening to a man choose a lobster from a tank in a restaurant. 335 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:26.720 We continue this late night Tuesday night nightcap with a nightcap flashback, Gary Jeff 336 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:33.079 with you here on seven hundred WLW. I had the great honor of getting 337 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:40.880 to know and having as a guest on my show multiple times, the late 338 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:48.519 great loel Ponte, and I like to occasionally bring some of those conversations back 339 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:56.000 because he was brilliant. He knew more about more things than anybody I have 340 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:03.599 ever met. He was wise beyond what wisdom suggests, and I'd like to 341 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:10.079 feature one of those conversations now with your indulgence as we close out until midnight 342 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:15.880 tonight. So, without any further ado, a conversation from April of twenty 343 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.119 twenty two with the aforementioned loll Ponte, and here's how it went. We're 344 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:27.039 back for another segment with loll Ponte on a Monday evening here on seven outter 345 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:33.000 WLW is the Nightcap Gary the Jeff, as Lowell has dubbed me with Lowell 346 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:38.359 on the phone. We were talking about the new legislation in Maryland that is 347 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:45.279 allowing all kinds of different people to perform abortions now legally. And I wanted 348 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.599 to get back Lowell real quickly to the point of discussion when we were talking 349 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:57.880 about the new Florida law which prohibits the teaching of sexual sexual perversion. And 350 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.039 I'll just call it what I want, sexual perversion in kindergarten, first, 351 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.079 second, and third grade classrooms. Well no, but if you were objective, 352 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.200 I would just add as a quick footnote, Yeah, the law protects 353 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:15.279 children kindergarten through third grade from being taught any sexuality, right, exactly, 354 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.839 hoterosexual, homosexual, whatever, sir, Does it single out what type of 355 00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:26.720 sexuality cannot be taught. It just said a kindergarten teacher is not even qualified 356 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.160 to teach sex. There are kindergarten teachers right now, God love them, 357 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:37.119 who aren't qualified to teach one through ten. But anyway, I just wanted 358 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:45.960 to make a point about alternative lifestyles and about sex in general. Sex is 359 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:52.279 a choice in any form, and it should be a choice of adult people. 360 00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.519 And you know, once you were a man or a woman, and 361 00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:02.720 yes, there are only two options once you're a man or a woman. 362 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.799 If you choose to have sex with another man and you're a man, that 363 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.640 is a choice. We've been told for years that I was like this when 364 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.440 I was a baby. I've been like this ever since I can remember, 365 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.799 And so I didn't have a choice. You always have a choice whether to 366 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:25.200 have sex or not. You always have a choice whether you have homosexual sex 367 00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:26.799 or not. You have a choice. No, no, no, I 368 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.720 do want to qualify, Okay, I know you love to be accurate. 369 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:38.079 You will still have restraints on Gary Jeff kind of sexuality from your years in 370 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.960 the South, and that is, anything you do to an animal would constitute 371 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.960 cruelty to the animal. Yes, and that is restricted by law, even 372 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.400 though your sexual preferences may not be. And that is also a choice to 373 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.480 break the law. You know how many how many countries in the world list 374 00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:02.519 homosexuality as a crime, and it's very severely in some of those countries. 375 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.519 Those are supported by Disney and Hollywood. I don't know how many, quite 376 00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.160 a few, yes, at least sixty. But back to my original point, 377 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:18.079 Louell, sex is a choice if you're the one who is initiating Obviously, 378 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.920 I'm not talking about rape or incest victims who who don't who find themselves 379 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:29.000 in a position where they're not choosing to have sex, but the actual act 380 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.079 of am I going to have sex with a man? Am I going to 381 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.440 have sex with a woman? Am I going to pretend I'm a woman? 382 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:40.200 Even though I'm in in? All of this is a choice? Do you 383 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:45.279 agree? Though? They are all choices? Yes? Yes, And whether 384 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:51.079 whether it's heterosexual sex or homosexual sex, it is a choice. It's not 385 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:56.400 like someone's putting a gun to your head and saying you have to have sex 386 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.279 this way or have to have sex this way. The law that were written 387 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:06.200 in Florida and are coming down the legislative pike in these other states to fend 388 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:11.079 off this nonsense, this craziness, this perversion, and this indoctrination of young 389 00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:18.759 children. The states that are writing these laws are not trying to outlaw homosexuality 390 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.319 or transgender They're just trying to be common sense about this and say, you 391 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:27.920 know, this is really a parent's job, and we should we should keep 392 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:33.759 our noses out of out of their bedrooms and out of influencing them one way 393 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.759 or the other. And I was reminded just a few days ago, if 394 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:44.960 you are very young and one day doesn't even need to go to kindergarten to 395 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.839 third grade, if you're twelve, Let's say you cannot walk into a tattoo 396 00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:55.599 parlor and get a tattoo. In most states, the law says you cannot 397 00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.880 modify your body that way. But Joe Biden and Democratic Party are now pushing 398 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:07.000 for a law that would let a child, and I mean young children, 399 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:15.440 consent to have a sex change operation, or to take more maturity limiting hormones 400 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:21.720 or other things. Now, children are generally not allowed to give their permission 401 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:26.160 for all sorts of things, but somehow they're allowed to give their permission for 402 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.799 this. And it's gotten to the point where as Laura Wellington wrote just days 403 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:36.759 ago at American Thinker, she took her to her twelve year old to a 404 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:44.079 pediatrician's office, and the nurse at the pediatrician's office gave documents to her son 405 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.920 and said, you fill these out. They didn't give them to the mother. 406 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.839 They didn't ask the mother's permission or approval to do that. They wanted 407 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:59.720 the son to fill out and sign the forms. How does a twelve year 408 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:06.039 old have either knowledged the worldliness or the training to know how to handle such 409 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:11.000 a thing, I dare say not, or maybe at twelve, maybe even 410 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.200 with the failure for public schools in this country, maybe at twelve the reading 411 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.880 level to actually read what the forum says and fully understand it well, if 412 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:25.640 they go to public schools especially, that's probably very limited. But what we 413 00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:32.880 are seeing increasingly is that children are encouraged to think of themselves as sexually different 414 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.960 from the way they were born. Now now there really is theoretically such a 415 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:47.720 thing as sexual dimorphism or sexual you know, you were born in the form 416 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.599 of one body, but you really feel like you belong in another body. 417 00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.759 That does happen. But even in the cases of those who have been carefully 418 00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.279 and honestly diagnosed with that condition, not just by companies who want to make 419 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:07.359 money or doctors who want to make money because of it, they are in 420 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:18.079 a very well eighty percent of them in general decide to shed the dimorphism after 421 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.680 a few years or months, and they just return to perfect contentment with the 422 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.920 body in which they were born. They no longer want to be turned into 423 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:33.519 the opposite sex or another sex, or what have you. And lo and 424 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:40.119 behold. Nevertheless, we have Biden and the Democrats pushing hard to say that 425 00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:45.400 your child age eight, nine, ten in public schools should have the right 426 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:52.680 to make a secret agreement with the teachers and the doctors to undergo a sex 427 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:57.160 change, or to undergo a gay club, which is now becoming very popular 428 00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.240 at schools in many parts of the country. This part to the because the 429 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.200 club, Oh yes, because it's it's somehow chic and interesting to be in 430 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:12.000 the gay club. But the parent will not necessarily be told that their child 431 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:15.960 is in this club, or that their child is now taking hormones to alter 432 00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:22.400 their maturation, or that their child is going to undergo surgery in two weeks, 433 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.839 so the parents are completely out of the loop on this. The parents 434 00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.160 are in the odd position of being in the loop when it comes to pain 435 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.200 for things and when it comes to taking legal responsibility for the child. But 436 00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.680 schools now consider it almost normal, indeed de rigueur, if you have enough 437 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:49.319 gay teachers and administrators to basically force or nudge strongly your child to agree to 438 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.119 these things, and have no legal obligation to inform the parent to get the 439 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:59.519 parents approval in any way in fact, they encourage the children don't tell your 440 00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:04.640 parents. This was one of the major issues when students began being taught by 441 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:09.519 zoom calls home at the early height of the epidemic. Remember with the pandemic 442 00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:17.759 of aid of COVID, and schools were actually trying to issue orders home parents, 443 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.119 you are prohibited from watching what your child. Oh, I remember, 444 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.720 I remember that, very very vividly. Yes, I mean, isn't it 445 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:32.240 time that we did away with government schools, absolute government propaganda and ideology to 446 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.119 your children, the Department of Education. All schools were privatized and left alone 447 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:42.880 by the government. The Department of Education should have never been and it should 448 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:47.960 be eliminated at the federal level, absolutely, versus a Jimmy Carter created department 449 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.680 in the government. I graduated high school in nineteen seventy nine, the first 450 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.480 year of the federal Department of Education, and I always feel, even though 451 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.279 I was a subpar student, I got a much better at education than the 452 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:07.559 students that followed me afterwards. I have a whole different set of agenda items 453 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:13.559 in government schools, not least of which is total servility to teachers' unions, 454 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.440 which are major political instruments that give millions and millions and millions of dollars to 455 00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:22.440 politicians in California. In fact, I used to work in the legislature in 456 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:29.519 Sacramento. There was a ritual where the head of the state teachers union would 457 00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:35.119 occasionally appear in Sacramento and the politicians were expected literally to kneel before them. 458 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.239 What are you serious. Yes, I'm very serious. Yes, that is 459 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:44.599 if they were Democrats. But I mean, anytime you vote for a Democrat, 460 00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:49.039 this is the kind of future you are risking for your children and grandchildren. 461 00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.960 In fact, you're virtually guaranteeing if you keep voting Democrat. What is 462 00:34:52.960 --> 00:35:00.000 the thing on the left with everybody kneeling for things that aren't holy or righteous? 463 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.400 I mean they kneel before the national anthem to you know, to protest 464 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.079 police. They give you a pray. They don't give you a bar of 465 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.559 soap first, no doubt. Oh, by the way, Joe Biden is 466 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:16.000 something we should talk of over. Joe Biden is now setting things up so 467 00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:21.960 he will attempt to cancel student loan debt in the country. There is one 468 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:28.360 point seventy five trillion dollars of student loan debt in the country. People, 469 00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:34.920 poor, humble people like Alexandria O Cassio Cortez still oh student loan debt, 470 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.719 even though she's now wealthy, and so many of them are just waiting to 471 00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:43.559 have it erased from the books. Biden will have to attempt to do it 472 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.920 by executive order. I don't think they can get it through Congress, but 473 00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:53.280 the mere fact that he and Bernie Sanders would contemplate that is astonishing. And 474 00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.719 of course, the people who use their student loan debt to get a college 475 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.440 degree, some of them come out out with a starting salary of two hundred 476 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.280 thousand dollars a year. Now, some of them, they're expecting their student 477 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:13.199 loan depth, the one point seventy five trillion dollars which added to our inflation, 478 00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:19.599 among other things. They're expecting the working poor and lower middle class workers 479 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.039 who have none of those special privileges and advantages, to pay off the debt 480 00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:29.079 of the rich. This is how the Democratic Party operates. Oh, and 481 00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.639 it's unabated. You're right up to this point. Congress is the only stop 482 00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:37.000 gap. Executive order will be the only way, and that, of course 483 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.840 will be challenged, like many other of Biden's executive orders, since he's been 484 00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:44.519 in office. We got about four minutes. Low got a four minute topic, 485 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.199 a four minute top four minute topic. Oh wow, well we've already 486 00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:54.559 used up about thirty seconds just talking about it. So it was it was 487 00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:01.599 very very It was very revealing last week when we saw Barack Obama visit the 488 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:07.679 White House as a special guest and to see the president, the actual president 489 00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:13.519 of the United States, Joe Biden shunned by everyone in attendance, including, 490 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:19.800 of course, his his former boss, former President Obama. He was holding 491 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:25.360 court there and Joe Biden was just wandering around aimlessly, staring at walls. 492 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:30.960 Oh. At one point, Biden actually put his hand on Obama's shoulder, 493 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:34.360 and Obama would not even turn and look at him. No, he totally 494 00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.199 blew him. And Nancy Pelosi walked by him as if he were a servant 495 00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:44.239 who was in charge of divvying out the drinks. Bring bring another tray of 496 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:47.800 orders, Joe, I know what I know one thing in California. Yes, 497 00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:51.719 and I could go and do I could spend hours talking about the horrors 498 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.079 of He got three minutes, so go ahead, Okay, Well, one 499 00:37:54.079 --> 00:38:01.239 of them is the city of Palm Springs has nowminarily voted that if you are 500 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:07.599 gay or transsexual, you are to be given nine hundred dollars a month as 501 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:13.280 universal basic income, just for being a gay or transsexual. By the way, 502 00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:17.239 the mayor of Palm Springs is transsexual. But this is a fairly significant 503 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:21.239 city. It's where Frank Sinoftra used to have a home and so on. 504 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:28.840 Yes, and well, it's also the district where Sonny Bono was elected as 505 00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.400 a as a representative in the House of Mayor and was in the US House 506 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:38.679 of Representatives representing that district. And he was notably very conservative. How things 507 00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:44.159 have changed, how things have changed. And of course back then, not 508 00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:49.320 to say the area was bad, but they had a law about endangered species. 509 00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:54.880 And so one day they were building a new housing development complex in Palm 510 00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:01.840 Springs when in the middle of the night, the authorities apprehended someone who was 511 00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:07.960 sneaking around in the complex and they discovered what that person was doing. He 512 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:14.599 was taking endangered tortoises and setting them down in the complex so they could be 513 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.880 found the next day, which would of course raise a human cry that the 514 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:23.840 complex building had to be stopped and torn down because this was somehow important breeding 515 00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:30.679 ground for these endangered tortoises when they were actually being transported from somewhere else. 516 00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:34.639 Oh, that's been done many times in California, with one SPECIs or another. 517 00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.519 There was one case in northern California where they wanted to stop the forest 518 00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:43.199 from being cut down for its wood, a small forest, and they went 519 00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:50.239 in. One environmentalist went in and was actually snagging endangered fur from a creature 520 00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:54.960 on some of the branches of the trees there, which would have been used 521 00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:00.880 had the hebot not been caught, to justify stopping all the tree cutting there. 522 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:06.920 I mean, this is a standard left wing practice in California. There's 523 00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.239 a lot of them. Listen, Low, our time sadly has gone for 524 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:15.000 the evening, But I really appreciate your cooperation and your brilliance and bringing these 525 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:20.760 topics to light and bringing them to greater focus than I could do on my 526 00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.360 own. Certainly, Well, thank you. You're much too modest, and 527 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:30.119 you are our exemplar for proper sexual behavior. Let's not go into it. 528 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:35.320 Let's not go into it at all. But bye, by God, it's 529 00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.079 my choice, Low, and it should be yours and everyone else's. And 530 00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:43.039 you know things with books, you wouldn't believe. You do not. You 531 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:50.039 do not. You do not have a choice at five, six or seven 532 00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.599 because you don't know, you don't know anything about it, and nor should 533 00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:57.920 you. It should be the parents can be programmed and brainwall you can. 534 00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.039 In fact, it's being done right now, and that's why the Florida law 535 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:06.159 was so important and instrumental. It stops it is the last business isn't really 536 00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:09.079 happening. Well then why did they object to the law? Exactly? Lowell, 537 00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:13.800 Thank you, God bless, take God bless all right, we will 538 00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.679 close out the Nightcap in just minutes and seven out of WLW. It's a 539 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:17.760 couple of months old than
