Welcome to by Nightcap, the limited edition All Star Edition Garry Jeff Walker,
sitting down with Gift Tuesday Night live here on the Big one, seven hundred
WLW, of course, bringing you the All Star Game tonight. And you
know this is really a special week. The biggest stars, the heaviest hitters,
making the strongest pitches, all gathered in one place. And that's just
Milwaukee at the Republican National Convention in Arlington, Texas. As you just heard
the American League prevailing once again as they've done so many times in the recent
pass of five to three victory over the National League. And yes, Cincinnati
Reds prominently involved in the outcome. Some good, some not so good.
Here to talk about this with me tonight. And by the way, I
do have a guest this half hour, but you're welcome to be a guest
as well if you'd like to join in the conversation. At five one three
seven for nine seven thousand, a guy who was a member of the original
rail Gang, remember the rail Gang back at Riverfront Stadium. I don't know
if he does, we'll ask him here in a minute, but one of
the people he was like the leader of these guys is our first and perhaps
only guest, unless you want to chime in and add into anything that we
are talking about. In the aftermath of the Midsummer Classic, the one and
only wild Man Walker joins us. Hello wild Man, Hello Gary, Jeff.
How you doing. I'm fine, man, It's it's late. I'm
up past my bedtime most of the night. Oh, I'll be up to
at least three o'clock because Leave It the Beaver comes on it too, So
make sure I get to watch that. So so you actually set your schedules
so you can watch Leave It to Beaver in the middle of the night.
Well, I'm a night out anyway, but I know, you know.
Well, the good thing is it used to be on at three and they
moved it to two, so hey, I save it. I had to
picking up an extra hour of sleeps to watch that when I was a kid
at three o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, it's still great. It's still
a great show, it really is. Who's your favorite? You like Wally,
you like Whitey, You like Eddie Haskell. You seem like you'd be
an Eddie Haskell guy. I'm an Eddie Haskell guy all the way, all
the way that's a nice dress. Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert and Gilbert and
Richard were two little pumps who always got Beaver in trouble. The same thing
with Larry, But Larry was written out of the show because of his mother.
His mother was real demanding and stuff. That's why they wrote him out
of the show. You know, I should ask our producer, the person
who was actually controlling things. We're just filling time, but our producer's controlling
things in the booth. Kenzie, if she even knows what Leave It to
Beaver is okay? Thank you. Leave It to Beaver was a sitcom back
in the early sixties, probably before your parents were born. When were your
parents born? Did you hear that, wild Man, No, I didn't
hear that. Oh she's telling me in my ear. She doesn't know Lever
to Beaver and her dad was born in nineteen eighty her mom was born in
nineteen eighty two. Tell her to google it up. She can watch it
on her she can watch episodes on her phone. I think it'd be very
edifying for anyone who was not exposed to the Cleaver family in America that you
and I remember. But Kenzie would never know about and well, the writing
in the show was tremendous. It was tremendous writing. Well, yeah,
I'm trying to think back to the last time I saw a rerun. But
the situations in the writing were a certain place and time America, in a
certain place in time in America, I think the All Star Game had more.
Maybe if someone out writing could be used today to make this country better.
Well, I mean they're writing new scripts in Milwaukee right now as we
speak at the publican national convention to make America great again. But anyway,
let's tale. Let's talk about the game. That's what we're here for this
half hour, and I invite anybody to chime in with our opinions of what
we got, a whole list of list. I know you do, That's
why I ask you to be a guest. So let's talk first about the
two Reds that made appearances tonight, one in a positive way, one in
not such a positive way. And let's start with the bad news first.
The bad news first is that Hunter Green, coming on in relief, gets
the l because he gives up a two run shot, the game winning home
run after the National League gets stay make themselves a three to nothing lead.
American League Claws back as you knew they would, especially playing in a home
park for the American League. They're in Texas, and Hunter Green comes in
and he does what we've seen him do so many times over the course of
his career. Now he can be a dominating pitcher. There's no doubt that
he has amazing stuff. He has an incredible heater, but he does give
up the long ball quite a bit. And that's the trade off you make
with a Hunter Green. You can't say that they didn't give him run support,
because he's had virtually none this year with the Reds, even in great
pitching performances. But he comes in and he gives up the you know,
the the neck breaker that winds up being the backbreaker for the National League.
Your thoughts well, Hunter Green two hits two runs, one of mos At
home runs, which wasn't the difference. The guy that hit the home run
off of him won m v P honors. He was lucky, Garry Cheff
that he didn't give up two home runs because Corey Seeger took him right to
the base of the wall. Yeah, that could have been two home runs
for s for Li de la Cruz, Hey first time up, he gets
a single second time up, he grounded out. They put him at third
base tonight. That's right, they played put him at third base. He
had one ball hit to him, he fielded it flawlessly, and uh,
you know, there you go. But you got you gotta admit, and
I think anybody listening has got to admit. When he got on base that
first time up, Okay, he's on base, man, let's see some
de la Cruz magic. But I guess in that situation, he didn't really
have a chance to, uh swipe another bag. But I was hoping every
I was hoping he was gonna, you know, swipe a second too.
Yeah, stranded at second. That's that's your first thought. When La de
la Cruz gets on base in any game, it's like, okay, let's
watch the fireworks. And sadly, we didn't see any tonight out of La.
But again, in his first Major League All Star Game, he's been
in the league a little over a year and he's already an All Star.
He's batten two fifty six or two fifty three on the season. He's got
fifteen home runs forty six stolen bases. The last player to have those kind
of breaks at the All Star Game and home runs in stolen bases was Ricky
Henderson. So we're talking about a Hall of Famer there in Henderson and La
de la Cruz a little early start comparing to Ricky. I'm just silly.
Ricky Henderson is the only other player to do that by the All Star Game.
And that's what I'm saying. No, I'm not saying La de la
Cruz is a Hall of Famer. I'm just saying there's all. There's all
kind of wacky statue can pull out. You know, they've been pulling out
left and right, especially with you know, the the the Hindes guy that
they brought up and you know somebody that hasn't done that since nineteen hundred.
Bottom line is it comes down to wins and losses. You know, they
can have all the home runs they want and score all the runs they wanted,
they don't win games. Those stats to meet don't mean DULEE squad,
They really don't. Other thoughts on that, how about uh well, how
about how about Otani? How about show well, the the baseball fans got
to see two of the best players produce. Otani with that three run homer
and then uh Soto with with the Yankees coming up with that doubles, so
two of the bigger stars produced. Fans got their moneys, weren't there.
The American League continues to be the daddy of the National League. Now Kenneth
won and their last eleven All Star Games. Okay, but here it was,
it was it was an okay game. Gear it wasn't it wasn't you
know, it wasn't that great. But the thing was those uniforms and the
caps that the players had to wear. Those were hideous. Those were hideous.
I can't believe that I remember. And and again maybe I'm sounding like,
you know, mister old school guy, which I guess I am to
a certain extent. But I loved it when you wore the uniform of your
team, whether it's road or away. You you wore the if you're the
if you're the visiting team in the All Star Game, you wear your your
road uniform of your team. And uh then if you're the home team,
you wear your home uniform of your specific ball club. You couldn't give me
it. You couldn't give me one of those jerseys or a cap to wear
for free. I wouldn't. Those were just awful, a god awful,
and exactly I want to see La de la Cruz and Hunter Green wearing the
Reds uniforms and drop Manfred already came out this. I saw this about an
hour ago, that they're going to address that issue next year to go back
to the uniforms, like duh, duh. Well, you know the fans.
The fans want that they look like softball or uniforms. Man, I
didn't know what they were when I I first saw them. I'm going,
oh, okay, they've got their home they've got their home logo on their
caps. At least that kind of demarcates who's playing and who they play for.
If you didn't know, as you know, just a casual fan tuning
in right with a casual fan, exactly do you? And major League Baseball
can't you get out of its own way? They really can't. I mean,
especially after what happened yesterday, which I want to talk about. Why
don't you want to talk You do want to talk about her? You don't?
Oh yeah, well yeah, major League Baseball? Yeah, what for
what happened yesterday at the home run derby? Okay, well tell me about
it. I did not want to call. That's so called country singer that
sang the national anthem. I mean, she had every dog in Arlington,
Texas howling. And then she came out and said, well, I was
drunk. Yeah, you were drunk, all right. She had BedHead on
top of that. And then now she comes out and says, I'm drunk
and I'm going to go into rehab. I hear rehab is is, uh
is good? But she's making a joke about it. I'm so I'm not
I'm not accepting her apology. It was a disgrace. Whoever let her on
the field should they should be fired. Whoever hired her should be fired.
I mean, if she's got people around her, supposedly because she's a two
time Grammy nominee or whatnot. I mean, didn't her people see her that
she was liquored up and they let her go out there and so called sing
the national anthem. It was a freaking disgrace, man, It really was
the freaking disgrace. And I'm not buying her apology. I'm sorry, I'm
not buying it. I'd never even heard of Ingrid Andress exactly before exactly uh
and see, I don't know, would would you rather had Roseanne bar Well,
I was at San Diego with Roseanne bar anthem. You were there.
I was there when she and grabbed her crotch and that. Yeah. Oh,
I was out in the concession area. I was just waiting for the
national anthem to be over, and I went up to my press box seeks
because I was on the road trip of the Reds that year and I went
out there for the road trip. I thought I was booing that. I
was yelling at the TV and these old ladies are walking by, you know.
I was yelling of sentitings at the TV because it was just it was
a freaking joke. And the spin Gary, the spin that Padres pr department
tried to put on that after she did that was hilarious. It was the
lamest excuse that they could come up with. They had nothing to say,
Well, this is just so bad this woman. Now, it was so
embarrassing that the first story I see pop up says she is entering rehab.
Right, one bad performance and you got to go sober up Somewhere that year,
I was I was drunk, I'm just sorry whatever, whatever, And
like I said, if you look at the if you go online, look
at her singing she's got BedHead to top it off and go out to wash
her hair. I want what she went out onto the field. I want
to ask you an honest question, wild man, and whoever gave her the
damn microphone should be fired because they should have seen something coming. I went,
I put a stop to it. I want to ask you an honest
question. What's that? And I expect an honest answer. Okay, have
you ever been somewhere to perform and been too drunk to be there, but
you went out and did it anyway? God, I don't know. No,
I don't have to think about it. I can tell you right now,
this second. It's happened to me. I have been too messed up
to be in public and still got up and spoke. It's been a long
time. It was very embarrassing, but I didn't instantly go into rehab,
So that's really tumultuous. That must have been more terrible than you're even describing.
I did not see it. I don't really Usually I pay attention to
the national anthem at the end of this show. Tonight we'll have the national
anthem play. We always end with the Star Spangled ban Around now the guy,
Yeah, the guy that's sank the national anthem tonight. I didn't catch
his name. He did a perfect job, perfect job. And that's the
way it should be. They shouldn't. We shouldn't really be talking at it.
But when you have something like this, this two time Grammy Award winner
go out there and you know, she had to rehearse the song because they
always rehearsed the song before they opened the gates. Now, maybe she went
I got dreamed after that. Maybe she started drinking after she did that.
But you know, we'll tell people there that should have stopped her. What
I'm gleaning from this conversation is you didn't really pay too much attention to the
home run derby afterwards. Let's let's talk about the event. No, don't
I know, I got rid of cable, so I don't you know,
I don't really care about the home run derby. I could care less.
I could care less. Yeah, it was exciting. It's lost its luster
to me. To me, it's lost its luster. It was exciting when
you had when you had the guys on the Juice and McGuire and so said,
it was kind of exciting, then, wasn't it. It was Okay,
I guess. I mean I never me and my son and I went.
I went to All Star games Gary in a row from nineteen eighty eight
to two thousand and eight, but I never went to a home run derby.
I just didn't have no interest in it. I just didn't get it,
you know, I whatever, what what I watched it? What are
the thoughts watched it? But what other thoughts do you have about the game
tonight? I don't have anything about the game. And I you know,
I said it was an okay game. You know, we got to see
our guys get in, which is good. There you go, I mean,
and you say it wasn't it the most exciting All Star game? I
mean, people got the CEO Tani hit a home run, They got to
see Juan Soto hit a double of a lot of the players got in that
Cleveland reliever when he came in in the United Then he's talk about a guy
with gas. Unbelievable. That guy, his slow stuff, his slow stuff
is hitting the one oh two. I tell you who impressed me and who
has impressed me every time a few times I've seen him this season is the
player for Pittsburgh the Air Force Academy guy Paul Skeins. You know what if
if he'd been allowed to pitch, because you don't do that in All Star
Games, But if he'd been allowed to pitch the entire game, it would
have I would have been on the air with you about nine o'clock because that
guy is lights out against the best hitters in the game. He made Aaron
Judge look like a piker. Gary Jeff Back in the day, the starter
of the All Star Game would go three innings. I don't know what happened
to that they were allowed to go three innings. We only got to see
that guy who's like the face of maybe of Major League Baseball. Now we
get to see him for one inning. I mean, come on, man,
leash and Ranny back out there for a second inning. But that's you
know, that's the way the All Star Game and baseball's becoming. It's just
they just can't get out of the way and screw things up all the time.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but next Wednesday, HBO
is doing a four part series on the life and tribulations and trials and whatnot
of one Pete Rose. Are you aware of that? You know I knew
that at some point in our conversation you would have to bring up Pete Rose.
But I don't blame you for that, and I'm I'm he totally deserves
the retrospective that they're going to give him because of his great accomplishments on the
field and all the controversy, and it makes for great drama. But I
knew that Peter Edward Rose would come up somewhere in our conversation. It always
does. Now what they will have to say in this four part series,
I have no idea, but I have a feeling I've heard it all.
I mean, what more can they, you know, talk about p Rose,
you know, as the player and as off the field activities. What
am I going to learn? What's it going to matter? All I know
is p Rose got a nice check for doing this. Okay, Well here's
here's what Here's what bugs me, Gary Jeff long as as long as he
doesn't spend it all fifteen minutes after he gets paid. No, he's fine.
No one, No one from HBO contacted me for a comment. No
one, but they did contact Get this now. See Trent Rosecranz, a
former beat writer the Reds who never saw Pete play here? Who never saw
Pete manage here? No, how dumb is that you're talking to a guy
who never saw Pete play in Cincinnati or you never saw him manage the Reds.
We're talking nineteen eighty nine, see Trent rosecram is wall Be at nine
years old. They didn't call me, so, you know whatever. I
don't know how this is going to turn out, but I'm glad. You
know, more people will get to learn about Pete Rose and we'll just see
if it's a hack job or watts. Did they talk to Jim Gray?
That's the question. I want to know they did not. I don't know.
I don't know they talked to Jim Dray. All Right, wild man,
let's turn attention to talk to Jim Gray with my knuckles right in his
head. Let's let's talk for a minute about the second half and your Cincinnati
Reds, my Cincinnati Rids, our Cincinnati Reds. What goes the rest of
the season? Are they sellers or buyers at the at the trade deadline?
And how do you think the rest of the season plays out? All right?
Forty seven and fifty three games back of the last wild card, they
begin a ninth game road trip starting Friday, three in Washington, who are
not pushovers. Then three against the Tampa Bay Rays in Florida, and three
games against the Atlanta Braves, so two of the teams are over five hundred
and uh and then of course against the Nationals starting on Friday. They're not.
The Reds have nothing to trade. I mean they've been going back and
forth to Louisville and Chattanooga just to bring outfielders up here. Uh, they're
gonna stay in pat I'd be very surprised if they. But I don't know
how they can pick up anybody because they have nothing. They're trade. I
mean, the guys they maybe have trade bade or hurt, so they're not
They're not going to be buyers or sellers here. They're just gonna go with
what they've got and hopefully, you know, hopefully things work out. Matt
McLean's not gonna play this year. Only the white people can get all worked
up about him. He's not. He's not gonna be game ready. I
mean it's not of like, no Noble Marte. He's not game ready.
You can see that. Should have stayed down and trip away until maybe September
even though, he and if he can't play and he's not available for the
postseason, just remember that if they're that somehow get into the postseason, he's
ineligible. He's ineligible. Are you at least juiced about La de la Cruz
this year? And I know you see de la Cruz. I love the
guy And you got to admit that Jonathan India has been one of the few
bright sparks in this team. Yeah, and he is a leader, and
I think that La de la Cruz has become kind of a leader as a
rook It's these these players are young and they have a lot of potential.
I'd like to see the Reds hold on to him. I think LA's under
contract until twenty thirty, so the Reds don't have to worry about negotiating contract.
What about India? His name is always brought up as trade bait.
It was last year. You know, you know, there's always one player
in a Red's history that you hear that might be up up for trade.
Here's what's going to happen next year, Mark my work. Li de la
Cruz is going to center field and Matt McClain is going to be a shortstop.
Oh okay, I mean, Jonathan Ennio will be at second base.
What about putting la daily Cruise in the bullpen as a closer rocket arm.
Now now you're reaching, Now you're reaching. Hey. By the way,
Gary, the Reds only have as I speak, twenty seven home games left.
So remember that they've only got twenty seven home games left. They still
have to play the Braves six times. They've got to play the Minnesota Twins
three times. They've got to play the Oakland A's three times. They've got
to play the Cleveland Indians twice up there. So they've got some you know,
tough teams they got to play. I know the A's think, but
the A's are no pushover. The A's are not or not automatic to beat.
But the least they have them here and in Cincinnati. But only twenty
seven games. Here's here's the here's the question. And here's they'll have six
with the Pirates. Here's the question. Do the Reds make the playoffs?
No? No, they don't. No, they don't, And if they
did, they'd be one and done. It'd be one and done. They're
not. They're not making the playoffs this year. And in fact, I
think that may be the worst thing that can happen if they made the playoffs.
Well, wild man, you got plenty of time to make your popcorn
and maybe take a little cat nap. Leave it to Beaver's not on until
two. I appreciate you being part of this tonight, and thanks you,
thank you, And you're not gonna let me talk about Caitlin Clark. I
love Caitlin Clark. You know that. Well, if that, if that,
if that woman is not Rookie of the Year, there ought to be
a Senate investigation. And if that woman isn't on the Olympic team, I
mean what you know, you gotta be you gotta be kidding me, all
right, that woman is deserves to be on the Olympic team. I think
she's happy to get the break. Wild Man, thank you so much.
Have a wonderful evening. And uh, you know my name and look up
my number. So that's the flip side of uh let it be on the
Beatles forty five, one of the great Beatle compositions that nobody knows. You
know my name, look up my number. You you know my name?
And you were complaint song. You were complaining about the woman who sang the
national anthemate the heme all right, see you too. We'll take a break
and come back. This is the Nightcap All Star edition on seven hundred WLW.
Listening to a man choose a lobster from a tank in a restaurant.
We continue this late night Tuesday night nightcap with a nightcap flashback, Gary Jeff
with you here on seven hundred WLW. I had the great honor of getting
to know and having as a guest on my show multiple times, the late
great loel Ponte, and I like to occasionally bring some of those conversations back
because he was brilliant. He knew more about more things than anybody I have
ever met. He was wise beyond what wisdom suggests, and I'd like to
feature one of those conversations now with your indulgence as we close out until midnight
tonight. So, without any further ado, a conversation from April of twenty
twenty two with the aforementioned loll Ponte, and here's how it went. We're
back for another segment with loll Ponte on a Monday evening here on seven outter
WLW is the Nightcap Gary the Jeff, as Lowell has dubbed me with Lowell
on the phone. We were talking about the new legislation in Maryland that is
allowing all kinds of different people to perform abortions now legally. And I wanted
to get back Lowell real quickly to the point of discussion when we were talking
about the new Florida law which prohibits the teaching of sexual sexual perversion. And
I'll just call it what I want, sexual perversion in kindergarten, first,
second, and third grade classrooms. Well no, but if you were objective,
I would just add as a quick footnote, Yeah, the law protects
children kindergarten through third grade from being taught any sexuality, right, exactly,
hoterosexual, homosexual, whatever, sir, Does it single out what type of
sexuality cannot be taught. It just said a kindergarten teacher is not even qualified
to teach sex. There are kindergarten teachers right now, God love them,
who aren't qualified to teach one through ten. But anyway, I just wanted
to make a point about alternative lifestyles and about sex in general. Sex is
a choice in any form, and it should be a choice of adult people.
And you know, once you were a man or a woman, and
yes, there are only two options once you're a man or a woman.
If you choose to have sex with another man and you're a man, that
is a choice. We've been told for years that I was like this when
I was a baby. I've been like this ever since I can remember,
And so I didn't have a choice. You always have a choice whether to
have sex or not. You always have a choice whether you have homosexual sex
or not. You have a choice. No, no, no, I
do want to qualify, Okay, I know you love to be accurate.
You will still have restraints on Gary Jeff kind of sexuality from your years in
the South, and that is, anything you do to an animal would constitute
cruelty to the animal. Yes, and that is restricted by law, even
though your sexual preferences may not be. And that is also a choice to
break the law. You know how many how many countries in the world list
homosexuality as a crime, and it's very severely in some of those countries.
Those are supported by Disney and Hollywood. I don't know how many, quite
a few, yes, at least sixty. But back to my original point,
Louell, sex is a choice if you're the one who is initiating Obviously,
I'm not talking about rape or incest victims who who don't who find themselves
in a position where they're not choosing to have sex, but the actual act
of am I going to have sex with a man? Am I going to
have sex with a woman? Am I going to pretend I'm a woman?
Even though I'm in in? All of this is a choice? Do you
agree? Though? They are all choices? Yes? Yes, And whether
whether it's heterosexual sex or homosexual sex, it is a choice. It's not
like someone's putting a gun to your head and saying you have to have sex
this way or have to have sex this way. The law that were written
in Florida and are coming down the legislative pike in these other states to fend
off this nonsense, this craziness, this perversion, and this indoctrination of young
children. The states that are writing these laws are not trying to outlaw homosexuality
or transgender They're just trying to be common sense about this and say, you
know, this is really a parent's job, and we should we should keep
our noses out of out of their bedrooms and out of influencing them one way
or the other. And I was reminded just a few days ago, if
you are very young and one day doesn't even need to go to kindergarten to
third grade, if you're twelve, Let's say you cannot walk into a tattoo
parlor and get a tattoo. In most states, the law says you cannot
modify your body that way. But Joe Biden and Democratic Party are now pushing
for a law that would let a child, and I mean young children,
consent to have a sex change operation, or to take more maturity limiting hormones
or other things. Now, children are generally not allowed to give their permission
for all sorts of things, but somehow they're allowed to give their permission for
this. And it's gotten to the point where as Laura Wellington wrote just days
ago at American Thinker, she took her to her twelve year old to a
pediatrician's office, and the nurse at the pediatrician's office gave documents to her son
and said, you fill these out. They didn't give them to the mother.
They didn't ask the mother's permission or approval to do that. They wanted
the son to fill out and sign the forms. How does a twelve year
old have either knowledged the worldliness or the training to know how to handle such
a thing, I dare say not, or maybe at twelve, maybe even
with the failure for public schools in this country, maybe at twelve the reading
level to actually read what the forum says and fully understand it well, if
they go to public schools especially, that's probably very limited. But what we
are seeing increasingly is that children are encouraged to think of themselves as sexually different
from the way they were born. Now now there really is theoretically such a
thing as sexual dimorphism or sexual you know, you were born in the form
of one body, but you really feel like you belong in another body.
That does happen. But even in the cases of those who have been carefully
and honestly diagnosed with that condition, not just by companies who want to make
money or doctors who want to make money because of it, they are in
a very well eighty percent of them in general decide to shed the dimorphism after
a few years or months, and they just return to perfect contentment with the
body in which they were born. They no longer want to be turned into
the opposite sex or another sex, or what have you. And lo and
behold. Nevertheless, we have Biden and the Democrats pushing hard to say that
your child age eight, nine, ten in public schools should have the right
to make a secret agreement with the teachers and the doctors to undergo a sex
change, or to undergo a gay club, which is now becoming very popular
at schools in many parts of the country. This part to the because the
club, Oh yes, because it's it's somehow chic and interesting to be in
the gay club. But the parent will not necessarily be told that their child
is in this club, or that their child is now taking hormones to alter
their maturation, or that their child is going to undergo surgery in two weeks,
so the parents are completely out of the loop on this. The parents
are in the odd position of being in the loop when it comes to pain
for things and when it comes to taking legal responsibility for the child. But
schools now consider it almost normal, indeed de rigueur, if you have enough
gay teachers and administrators to basically force or nudge strongly your child to agree to
these things, and have no legal obligation to inform the parent to get the
parents approval in any way in fact, they encourage the children don't tell your
parents. This was one of the major issues when students began being taught by
zoom calls home at the early height of the epidemic. Remember with the pandemic
of aid of COVID, and schools were actually trying to issue orders home parents,
you are prohibited from watching what your child. Oh, I remember,
I remember that, very very vividly. Yes, I mean, isn't it
time that we did away with government schools, absolute government propaganda and ideology to
your children, the Department of Education. All schools were privatized and left alone
by the government. The Department of Education should have never been and it should
be eliminated at the federal level, absolutely, versus a Jimmy Carter created department
in the government. I graduated high school in nineteen seventy nine, the first
year of the federal Department of Education, and I always feel, even though
I was a subpar student, I got a much better at education than the
students that followed me afterwards. I have a whole different set of agenda items
in government schools, not least of which is total servility to teachers' unions,
which are major political instruments that give millions and millions and millions of dollars to
politicians in California. In fact, I used to work in the legislature in
Sacramento. There was a ritual where the head of the state teachers union would
occasionally appear in Sacramento and the politicians were expected literally to kneel before them.
What are you serious. Yes, I'm very serious. Yes, that is
if they were Democrats. But I mean, anytime you vote for a Democrat,
this is the kind of future you are risking for your children and grandchildren.
In fact, you're virtually guaranteeing if you keep voting Democrat. What is
the thing on the left with everybody kneeling for things that aren't holy or righteous?
I mean they kneel before the national anthem to you know, to protest
police. They give you a pray. They don't give you a bar of
soap first, no doubt. Oh, by the way, Joe Biden is
something we should talk of over. Joe Biden is now setting things up so
he will attempt to cancel student loan debt in the country. There is one
point seventy five trillion dollars of student loan debt in the country. People,
poor, humble people like Alexandria O Cassio Cortez still oh student loan debt,
even though she's now wealthy, and so many of them are just waiting to
have it erased from the books. Biden will have to attempt to do it
by executive order. I don't think they can get it through Congress, but
the mere fact that he and Bernie Sanders would contemplate that is astonishing. And
of course, the people who use their student loan debt to get a college
degree, some of them come out out with a starting salary of two hundred
thousand dollars a year. Now, some of them, they're expecting their student
loan depth, the one point seventy five trillion dollars which added to our inflation,
among other things. They're expecting the working poor and lower middle class workers
who have none of those special privileges and advantages, to pay off the debt
of the rich. This is how the Democratic Party operates. Oh, and
it's unabated. You're right up to this point. Congress is the only stop
gap. Executive order will be the only way, and that, of course
will be challenged, like many other of Biden's executive orders, since he's been
in office. We got about four minutes. Low got a four minute topic,
a four minute top four minute topic. Oh wow, well we've already
used up about thirty seconds just talking about it. So it was it was
very very It was very revealing last week when we saw Barack Obama visit the
White House as a special guest and to see the president, the actual president
of the United States, Joe Biden shunned by everyone in attendance, including,
of course, his his former boss, former President Obama. He was holding
court there and Joe Biden was just wandering around aimlessly, staring at walls.
Oh. At one point, Biden actually put his hand on Obama's shoulder,
and Obama would not even turn and look at him. No, he totally
blew him. And Nancy Pelosi walked by him as if he were a servant
who was in charge of divvying out the drinks. Bring bring another tray of
orders, Joe, I know what I know one thing in California. Yes,
and I could go and do I could spend hours talking about the horrors
of He got three minutes, so go ahead, Okay, Well, one
of them is the city of Palm Springs has nowminarily voted that if you are
gay or transsexual, you are to be given nine hundred dollars a month as
universal basic income, just for being a gay or transsexual. By the way,
the mayor of Palm Springs is transsexual. But this is a fairly significant
city. It's where Frank Sinoftra used to have a home and so on.
Yes, and well, it's also the district where Sonny Bono was elected as
a as a representative in the House of Mayor and was in the US House
of Representatives representing that district. And he was notably very conservative. How things
have changed, how things have changed. And of course back then, not
to say the area was bad, but they had a law about endangered species.
And so one day they were building a new housing development complex in Palm
Springs when in the middle of the night, the authorities apprehended someone who was
sneaking around in the complex and they discovered what that person was doing. He
was taking endangered tortoises and setting them down in the complex so they could be
found the next day, which would of course raise a human cry that the
complex building had to be stopped and torn down because this was somehow important breeding
ground for these endangered tortoises when they were actually being transported from somewhere else.
Oh, that's been done many times in California, with one SPECIs or another.
There was one case in northern California where they wanted to stop the forest
from being cut down for its wood, a small forest, and they went
in. One environmentalist went in and was actually snagging endangered fur from a creature
on some of the branches of the trees there, which would have been used
had the hebot not been caught, to justify stopping all the tree cutting there.
I mean, this is a standard left wing practice in California. There's
a lot of them. Listen, Low, our time sadly has gone for
the evening, But I really appreciate your cooperation and your brilliance and bringing these
topics to light and bringing them to greater focus than I could do on my
own. Certainly, Well, thank you. You're much too modest, and
you are our exemplar for proper sexual behavior. Let's not go into it.
Let's not go into it at all. But bye, by God, it's
my choice, Low, and it should be yours and everyone else's. And
you know things with books, you wouldn't believe. You do not. You
do not. You do not have a choice at five, six or seven
because you don't know, you don't know anything about it, and nor should
you. It should be the parents can be programmed and brainwall you can.
In fact, it's being done right now, and that's why the Florida law
was so important and instrumental. It stops it is the last business isn't really
happening. Well then why did they object to the law? Exactly? Lowell,
Thank you, God bless, take God bless all right, we will
close out the Nightcap in just minutes and seven out of WLW. It's a
couple of months old than
