Do you want to be an American idiot? Ah the replacement idiot once again
manning the airwaves in this timeslot, the sacred airwaves of seven hundred WLW.
Garry Jeff Walker in for Scott Sloaney today until noon, a full lineup of
guests. We've got some time for you and I to chat as well,
anytime in the next three hours, but specifically at eleven o'clock right now.
No guest, so that would open up the phone lines so you can tell
me what you really think of me. I'm hoping that Robert de Niro will
phone in because I want to hear him read from his script again. When
you're an actor, aren't you supposed to memorize your script? Anyway? Our
first guest today is one of my favorite people on the planet, and that's
including my wife and a few precious friends that I have. And we've only
ever discussed anything on the radio or on the telephone. We've never met in
person. She is an author and actor. I would assume adansa. I
don't know. I know she sings. She is a professional skeptic and occasionally
a talk show host and occasionally a guest of mine on my programs. Karen
Katileen, everybody, KK, good morning, how are you? Hey?
Good morning Gary, Jeff Walker, how why are you doing good? We
were talking about doing this show several weeks ago, and specifically the date May
twenty ninth is special to you because it was your mother's birthday. Is that
correct? Yes, actually it is. It is today's my mother's birthday.
She's no longer with us, and she shares the birthday with John F.
Kennedy YEP Senior and Bob Hope. Fantastic. You want to talk about an
incredible, you know, triad of people. We're you know, it's the
it's the trinity of Karen Katalene's mom, Bob Hope, and in one time
President of the United States. All of them have passed, but we can
revel in the fact that they were here and their legacy that all of those
still live on. Definitely, and I said there was one of there was
one o. Their common bond with you and and your with your mother and
Bob Hope besides sharing a birthday my wife when she was a little girl,
and Bob Hope spent a lot of time in Cincinnati at some little restaurant or
bar in Silverton. Bob Hope was there and bought my wife a Shirley Temple?
Is that the cutest? I mean, you want to talk about degrees
of separation here and it being a small world, but I wouldn't want to
paint it and all of that. But still so anyway we have that.
And is there anything that you specifically remember about your mom that lives with I
mean, obviously there are probably tons of things, but what sticks out in
your mind first when you think about your late mother, Karen? Oh my,
this is a noted question. It is because in twenty twelve I wrote
a book that actually had a lot about my mother. It was said with
insight and with respect and hopefully with some forgiveness, because people do the best
they can. But I had a stage mother. My mother put me on
the stage when I was three years old, and not coincidentally, she was
put on the stage when she was three years old, and I guess I
think she thought that was the thing to do. So yes, I wrote
a book called Fatlash, Food Police, in the Fear of Thin and in
My Era, which preceded the John Bennet Ramsey story and preceded the child Beauty
Pageant craze and criticism that happened around the time I put that book out.
I experienced something similar and probably more benign in many respects than what we saw
in toddlers and tierras. But when parents lived through their children, they forget
the age appropriateness of the child because well, to get a little mental healthy
on you, because they do have an MSW from the great Conservative School of
Glumbia University. Mind you, parents mothers. Often children are a narcissistic extension
of their parents. Sometimes that's why you get in varying degrees. And I
know I'm getting down the rabbit hole here soccer moms, no baseball dads and
that kind of thing. But yeah, as you're saying this, I'm thinking
about all of the helicopter dads who are like pushing their kids in sports every
day. And and there are probably some listening right now and thinking, well,
you know, just trying to show the kid there's more to life than
than school work, and you know, and and it gets really really oppressive
sometimes for the kids and they don't understand it. This happened, Yes,
forgive me. It's complex because parents do have hopes and wishes and dreams for
their kids. Sure, and that's understandable, but they're varying degrees of that.
They're varying levels of that. And when you have, you know,
kind of own show dog, shall we say, Yeah, putting kids in
beauty pageants, that's a good time. Getting that they're only five instead of
twenty five, then you get this inappropriate sexualization of children. Cut to the
chase. That's one of the reasons why I am so very sensitive to the
mass psychosis we're seeing today telling the world that there are trans children and at
the same time, notice the segue, at the same time, teaching little
kids that there is no boy and there is no girl, so that there
is a growing social contagion of gender dyswaryan gender confusion. That's also a narcissistic
extension being placed on children because you know, you see a lot of moms
that they're not soccer moms, in beauty pageant moms or dads. They're political
moms who use their children for a political agenda instead of allowing their children to
grow up naturally, to go through the stages to be children of development and
allow their kids to decide what they stand for. And it's quite brazen and
blatant today. And I guess, since I could go on for three hours
and I won't, I should say that I did make peace with my mother,
maybe after the fact, and yet it's kind of a blessing in a
way that I had probably, as I say, a more benign experience,
although it affected me greatly, and it was a blessing because it enabled me
to do a lot of self exploration and learn that being an individual was important
to me. It's probably why I'm not a radical leftist today. Well,
here number of reasons, I would say. Foremost is the fact that you've
got a functioning brains while you're not a radical left just today. But I
was. I was struck by how in the sixties they were preaching to us
about individuality and doing your own thing and make your own music, and now
they're all marching in lockstep together. Oh, we've got We've got a guest
on actually after you after the News at nine thirty named Aaron McIntyre has written
a book called The Total State, How liberal democracies become tyrannies. And I
can't I can't wait to chew into that conversation. But back to you,
No, it's fine. I think I was done. I tried to to
uh uh, you know, it make it more succinct than it really is.
You talk about this whole, this whole trans movement, and how parents
are you know, misguidedly pushing their children into, uh, this non binary
kind of world when children pretty much live in a non binary world anyway,
up to a certain age, up to puberty. If they put them on
puberty blockers, then they have no idea what's going on or who they are,
who they want to be. And by the time they've had the mutilating
surgeries and they're eighteen and nineteen, their lives are ruined. It's way too
late. But it goes through every fiber, every threat of our society,
Karen, now, because it's all about the language that is used, and
that goes beyond pronouns. But let's start there. I was watching a Reds
game and sorry, sorry rein Hart and the rest of you programmers here at
seven and we are the home of the Reds, and we've got a game
coming up this afternoon at one ten, which we'll be caring of course.
But I was watching on TV and the lead announcer as one of the ball
boys snagged just a scream and shot down the left field line. That was
a foul I mean, great catch. The kid made a great catch.
A couple of innings later, the kid who down the right field line also
made a great catch and a foul ball that came screaming at him. I
mean, just like, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play.
And the announcer said, a couple of great plays by the ball folks.
I never heard them called ball folks ever in my life. I mean,
if it's a ball girl, it's a ball girl. If it's a
ball boy, it's a ball boy. There is a difference, and this
is what they wanted to think it is. And the difference in all of
this is that it's the social promotion, yes, of deleting gender while at
the same time claiming you're a feminist and you don't know what one a woman
is. It's really designed to drive lesser mentally well people crazy. I say
that was some you know, a tongue in cheek, but thank you,
Judge Brown Jackson. When you have a culture that is that is dictating unreality
to you, to tell you that you're not even supposed to know the difference
between boy and girl, by the very seeing people who have been lecturing us
about women's rights and women having equal pay and Billy Jean King can play as
well as all of that, only to lead up to there is no boy
and there is no girl, the fact that people can jump on and off
these bandwagons that are totally contradictory. Where are the me too people today?
I mean, yesterday it was women being abused because someone says something to them,
and today it is it's okay to engage in gang rape as long as
it's an Israeli, as long as it's a Jew. I mean, there
is no end to this mass psychosis of changing people's values willy nilly and people
jumping on that bandwagon. I think the good news is people are finally getting
whiplash and saying, hey, wait a minute, what are you saying this
is? This is crazy and what's your motive in trying to change trying to
create group think that we're that you know, the moon is is turquoise and
the grasses is red. I mean, they basically want to create an alternate
universe and some people sadly are buying it, maybe because they don't know who
they are. Oh, you know it doesn't mean we all have to think
alike, but it does mean it's really a good idea to think for yourself.
Like the NIH tried to convince everybody that COVID came from bad soup,
and when they were conducting the gain of function research in the lab at Wuhan
the entire time and lied about it and then tried to cover it up.
The house right now is accusing the NIH, Morantz and Fauci of dodging the
Record's request because they even stated in these emails and texts they found but we
can get around for you this way, you know, and and and the
people will be looking for this evidence, and we have back channels, and
you know, it's the same thing. It's overwhelming in its enormity. I
know that's a lot of adjectives. But what is so interesting to make sense
of it, in my humble opinion, is you notice that all these hoaxes
and all this unreality is coming from people on the bandwagon, and the same,
the same usual suspects are buying into all of it at the same time
or promoting it. The promoting that the whole country is a racist kind of
tree, which is a hoax and wrong and people who live in America lie,
No, it's wrong, and it's it's a smear and a lie.
Uh and and there's so many of these ideas that are all being promoted by
the same people. Did you notice how almost immediately as if overnight, first
we were told that if we didn't put a rag on our face, we'd
be killing grandma, and not a few nano seconds later, certain governors around
this country were sending COVID into nursing homes and killing grandma's. Okay they yet,
Oh, oh, forgive me, not that I'm getting wound up like
a cheap watch. But what about Oh god, I just lost it.
I do that. I get so excited that I forget it happens to me
too. But you're right. It is one of those things that they always
are doing. What they're accusing someone else of doing is every time. Okay,
I remembered it. If you have time, simply that the same people
that have been their mantra, their mantra for decades. My body, my
choice, get the government out of my ovaries. And suddenly when the government
dictates, forces, coerces, and demands that they take an experimental shot,
you better do it or we're firing you, we're canceling you, and you're
killing people because you're willing to put yourself at risk for a shot that promises
that you won't be at risk. But now you're the bad guy because you're
going to infect people who who supposedly are protected. That kind of crazy making
logic. People actually bought into it. It's a pandemic of the unvaccinated really,
so that means if you're vaccinated and you're you're confident that you're protected,
why are you demonizing people who took a risk not to be well? And
the truth completely, Yeah, the truth of the matter is the more times
you were vaccinated, the more likely where you were to get COVID and the
studies have borne that out. Karen, thank you so much. We're out
of time, but my gosh, you're wonderful. H you are so Karen
Katalen dot Cam All right, bye, babe. Breaking then back on seven
hundred WLW. It's nine to twenty five. I'm Brian from one eight hundred.
God John, We're a full service junk removal company. We come with
it. Ah. Here we are back again. Garry Jeffen for Slowey Today
on seven hundred WLW. The elevator bumper music kind of threw me. I
thought maybe it was another intro to a spot, since there were so few
of those. Our guest in this half hour's a guy named Aaron McIntyre,
host of The Aaron McIntyre Show. He's a columnist for Blaize News and is
the author of the new book The Total State, How Liberal Democracies become tyrannies,
I e. What we've been witnessing and what we're living through right now.
In twenty twenty four America, he was journalist and he saw firsthand the
manipulation of news events, the bias of the press, relentless assault on truth
during Donald Trump's presidency, and that's when it really came to the fore,
when it really became obvious to me as well. But then we had the
pandemic, and in the description it says his worldview is irrevocably shaken. And
I share that feeling as well, and shared it then and still feel like
my relationship with my government will never be the same again. The question is
how do we fix it. I don't know if there are any answers in
this new book, but maybe he has some answers for all of us individually.
Aarn McIntyre. Hello, welcome to the Scott's Loan Show. I'm Gary
Jeff Walker. It's a great to have you as a guest this morning on
seven hundred WLW. What's going on? Hi, thank you so much for
having me appreciate it. Yeah. So, in the book The Total State,
How liberal democracies become tyrannies, this is probably the best description of what
we've been living through and the things that are our founding fathers and the writers
of the Constitution tried to safeguard us against. Was the total state, this
centralized form of unaccountable bureaucrats and everything else that we've seen, especially in the
last four to five years in this country, and how it's taken control.
And it's more than just Trump derangement syndrome. It's about control. I think
they used Trump derangement syndrome as a tool to steer us into that self control,
into that manipulation of the facts and the news. Your thoughts on that,
No, absolutely, I think, like you were just saying, you
were outlining. I had a similar journey where I was working as a journalist
and I had grown up as a talk radio conservative listening to Rush Limbaugh and
go in my Civics class and understanding that the Constitution, the Bill Wrights,
separation of powers, all these things were enshrined by the founders to stop the
advance of the government, to hold back tyranny, and of course the press
was supposed to be a part of that. Now, I had been a
conservative for a long time. I knew that the press was biased, but
ultimately I believe that it served as a check against what was happening in the
government, what we kept people accountable. But when I was working as a
journalist during the Trump administration, I saw that really it seemed like every journalist
has an agenda to go out and manipulate facts, manipulate stories, sometimes outright
lie. While I was in the press gaggle watching them just lie about what
a politician was saying in order to manipulate things and turn them against Trump.
And this is my first sign that things were not going well, that the
constitutional order was not being protected by a free press. And then once we
hit twenty twenty, kind of all my other illusions about American institutions and how
they were constrained by the Constitution started to be torn away. You know,
the churches were closed, the strip clubs were open. We weren't allowed to
go to funerals of family members, but the Democrats were allowed to riot in
the streets and burn things down and drink champagne. After Joe Biden is selected,
and all of a sudden, it became very clear to me that while
the Framers might have created a constitution that restricted power at the time, something
had happened. There had been a seismic shift in the way that our social
order had been created, so that so many of those restrictions had been circumvented.
And the total state is really my story about that intellectual journey, the
different thinkers and different ideas I explored better understand how power had circumvented the restrictions
that our founders had created. Well, I think one of the one of
the things we need to look at as a country, as citizens is somehow,
some way dismantling the centralized form of government that we have. And I'm
not talking about an all out revolution. It would seem like an all out
revolution or an insurrection to those inside Washington, DC's beltway, because they want
to hold on to power at any cost. And we've seen that with the
Democrats and their persecution and now prosecution of Donald Trump. You know, people
don't like our policies, were behind in the polls. We got to make
sure we're the only thing on the ballot that people will vote for. But
to decentralize the government, to break up Washington, to start to dismantle these
bureaucracies that basically do nothing but spend other people's money, like the Department of
Energy and the Department of Education, and moving some of these agencies out of
Washington, DC. Is that an answer? I mean, if we could
do it, would that help? I think that's the beginning of an answer.
I think that you're right that ultimately centralization has become the problem. But
I think we have to examine. What I try to do in the book
is examine why we allow to happen, why even conservatives were complicit in this
process. You're exactly right that a lot of people would look at a return
to constitutional government as the Founder's intended, as a revolution, because ultimately,
even most of the very serious and responsible conservatives that we see in Washington,
DC, than ever Trump guys, or even some of the Trump guys,
are so desperately bought into the bureaucracies and the systems, the idea of a
neutral agency that will dictate from on high with experts how we should go ahead
and operate the country. They're so obsessed with that idea that they can't imagine
the government being run once again by actual statesmen, by people who are making
decisions based on the good of the people and the will of the people,
and not so much based on the idea that there's some kind of morally neutral,
institutionally correct response to any given technocratic application of policy. And so,
while I think you're right that moving these agencies, breaking up these agencies,
creating less of a centralization into one geographic area, is a good start to
ultimately what we have is an underlying mentality that we apply to all of governance
that drives us towards this of centralized rule by experts and faceless bureaucracies. All
right, Well, I'm looking forward to reading the book The Total State.
How liberal democracies become tyrannies. It's something that I have thought and in lockstep
with you, by the way, pretty much through the whole process of the
Trump presidency and through the what I call the scamdemic and all the lies that
were being fed to us as truth by the media, and the media is
a is a big part. I mean it's an arm not just to the
Democrat Party, but it's an arm of the total State party, I guess
for the sense of our conversation here, Aaron McIntyre, thank you so much
for being on the show today. Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, good luck with the book. It's a nine forty five. We'll
take a quick break and come back. Gary Jeffin Fersiloni phone lines five one

while back that it might be time, it might be time for all of
us, all of us subjects who are dictated to by the climate terrorist on
TV and on the radio. That's right, certified meteorologist, meteorologist, that
maybe we should find a way to file a class action suit against all of
them. I don't know if this would include the National Center. Are just
specific weather casters because constantly we are I wouldn't say lied to, but we
are misled by their proclamations of terror from the skies. They're constant, frightening
drum beat of well, there's a fifty percent chance you could die today now,
as we've seen in all seriousness in the past couple of weeks, in
the last month, really the horrible weather, the storms, the tornadoes that
have ravaged complete towns and taken lives. But I'm talking about on the everyday
basis. I'm talking about the run of the mill weather forecast that makes you
up in plans to go to say you're river camp, or chances to be
outside with the family and friends, just to do things in general, and
you stop and they're steymied at the last moment because someone's on TV in front
of a green screen with a weather pointer telling you about all of the dangerous
hail and wind and thunderstorms and tornadoes that we quite possibly could get. There's
got to be a happy medium. There's got to be somewhere in between the
scare tactics of the meteorologist, or as Gary Burbank used to say, media
urologist, and giving you just sensible information the most likely case scenario. And
I'm not saying that they don't try. But they've got all these weather models,
all these computer models, they've got radar like they've never had radar before.
They've got all kinds of tools to meticulously forecast and predict the weather we
are going to get, and yet so many times it's a hit or miss
five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand day.
The lines are open during this, so please don't cut anybody off. But
I thought maybe if a group of us, if we could prove cause say,
prove that we have spent money just to have it wasted because the plans
were canceled last minute. If we have lost work due to a faulty forecast,
don't we have a claim in court? People sue for anything and everything
in our culture. Isn't it about time that we saw fit to do the
weather forecasters or the meteorologists again, National Weather Service in Wilmington. They probably
don't have deep pockets. I will tell you this, that is the number
one expense at most local TV news departments. Have you noticed how many weather
people there are on the roster and they get paid big bucks. I mean
the radio people. You know, we get the shaft compared to TV people
when it comes to pay because we're not pretty enough to be on TV.
I understand why, But I'm just telling you weather forecasters they make big coin
to be wrong more often than they're right. How many times in the last
couple of weeks, and thankfully the forecast of dire results were wrong. I
mean I would rather them be wrong than be right when it comes to horrible
things things happening. On the other hand, if they scare everybody to stay
inside, hunkered down into a sheltered place in the center of your house,
I've been through tornadoes before, there's no picnic, I understand, And to
actually warn us is that they look at that as their job. But I'm
just saying, there's got to be some relief for the common schlub who has
a picnic canceled after spending all kinds of money after uh, let's see Tim
from Mason, Hello, Tim? How are you? I'm just asking,
is there a chance can we get a lawyer to possibly look into the case
of against meteorologists in general, a class action lawsuit for lost wages and for
any any other harm that they may have caused us financially by and by a
wrong forecast. I mean, with with the amount of suing that we get,
I think so, I mean, I've seen other cases, but you've
got guys on Facebook that go out and fear monger and aren't even weather forecasters
out here that promote all this stuff. So I think you got a bunch
of guys out there that got a good case to get something going. So,
so what kind of fear mongering are you talking about? I'm talking about
the climate terrorists terrorists on TV. I'm so well, they're even worse on
They're even worse on Facebook. There aren't even mediologists. You've got one guy
that's called Southwest Ohio Freaks that has followers that the guy just isn't even a
meteorologist that promotes it. So what exactly is he promoting? Is he promoting
death and mayhem? Absolutely from Mother Nature's wrath? Yep, yep, he's
a he's not even a real meteorologists. He just puts out the weather stuff
and has people, he has people actually pay him to do it too.
So that's the worst part about it. But see, Tim, this is
the thing. These people have degrees, they're certified, they went to school
for this. They have all kinds of the most you know, the up
to date technology and tools, computers, they've got AI and they're still wrong.
I just thought, I don't understand. I don't understand how you could
be that wrong about Is it not an exact science meteorology, I'm not sure.
But if they can't predict what's going to happen tomorrow, how can they
tell us that the ocean ocean levels are going to rise six inches and twenty
years and we're all going to be underwater. That's my question. Thank you
for the very very well for participating in the phone conversation. Tim from Mason,
not to Tim for Mason. I used to talk to that guy.
Was really cool. But anyway, my whole thing is, and I've talked
with my friends, the Pisqually brothers about this. Maybe if you're a lawyer
and you're listening, one of the odds that we could have some kind of
class action lawsuit against the entire profession of meteorologists and Bob and Ludlow, well,
there's about thirty seconds before news. So we'll see if we get Bob
and Ludlow on. But anyway, if there was an attorney listening, maybe
chime in sometime between now and noon and see what the odd odds are that
we could have standing in a court of law against the entire profession, because
there's some deep pockets there and I'd like to get a little coin out of
this nonsense. Everybody else is making money. Hey, Bob, you there,
I got five seconds? What you got? Hey, Jerry, Jeff,
I thank you kind of like way off base here to sue these folks,
because one that's just a sue happy thing, and I think that's crazy.
But I think the Wetomen do a pretty good job. They pretty much,
I would say about ninety percent get the weather right, and the only
time they get it wrong is when it's when it's something dramatic. I don't
know where you're getting your ninety percent, because it's nowhere close to that,
Bob, maybe forty percent if that, And I don't think that's enough a
break and then back Tony Lyons joins us on the line afterwards. Gary Jeffen
Forsloonia on this Wednesday May twenty ninth on seven hundred WLW News Traffic and Weather
News Radio seven hundred WLS Cincinnati, time for the urry to make a decision
with the ten o'clock report to Rick Huchino breaking now. Tuesday was a marathon
day of closing arguments in New York defense attorneys and Donald Trump's criminal hush money
trial, casting a shadow over the credibility of the key witness for the prosecution,
Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, calling him the greatest liar of all time.
Prosecutors, meantime, detailed what they called a mountain of evidence they claim
shows the former president committed a crime by falsifying business records to cover up a
payoff of adult film actress Stormy Daniels in twenty sixteen. Prison time is theoretically
possible. The felony counts carry up to four years in prison, but almost
certainly, should it go that way, it would not happen right away.
Trump would undoubtedly seek to appeal and seek to delay his sentencing as long as
possible, so it's not like he would be automatically remanded into custody like some
violent felon. The reality is is that if he is convicted as a non
violent, first time middle offender, the likelihood of prison time is very very
small. ABC's Aaron Katski. After taking the night to rest up, the

The Democratic National Committee is going to be holding a virtual roll call to
nominate President Joe Biden as the party's candidate ahead of their convention this summer.
The move is to ensure Biden can get on the ballot here in Ohio.
The state deadline to certify presidential nominees is August seventh, but the Democratic Convention
is not going to start until nearly two weeks after that. The DNC's decision
comes as Republican lawmakers in the Buckeye State have been reluctant to pass a bill
to shift the deadline without a vote on unrelated campaign finance legislation. For the

can help if you're struggling. Do you want to be in a meganity?
And before we get to free speech advocate Tony Lyons as a publisher of Skyhorse
Publishing, President of that as well one or two last minute guest in Todd
Benzman, who's with the Center for Immigration Studies. He has long been I
guess, the Paul Revere of what's going on at our southern border. He
was there reporting on it before anybody else was, including Fox News. He
was the guy and he's with the again, the Center for Immigration Studies.
You can find him at CIS dot org. A new peace out yesterday calling
it America just suffered the first terror attack by a border crossing illegal alien.
Subtitle Go ahead, Biden and friends, prove me wrong. Todd Bensman,
how are you doing, Todd? I'm doing quite well. Thank you.
I know you're extremely busy this morning because a lot of people besides me read
this piece that you published yesterday, and basically we're talking about the May third
truck breaching attack at Quantico where there was a Jordanian illegal immigrant and another Jordanian
who had long since had his student visa expire and they posed his Amazon drivers.
People will remember this story from the beginning of the month. It was
kind of a mystery as to what was really going on here. But in
this piece you call out what was really going on here, the first terror
attack on this nation really since nine to eleven that you could call a terror
attack. So explain if you can, right, you know, from a
border crossing. Yes, so this is a Jordanian who crossed the border,
got in with another Jordanian and a big box truck on May third, and
tried to ram it into Quantico, a reading core base where also there's the
FBI and military intelligence and lots of other highly symbolic targets for jihadis. The
question that everybody wants to know about this is whether there was a terrorism motivation.
That question has been asked of Ice, of the Marine Corps, Department
of Defense, of the FBI, and of the White House. None of
them will this is very unusual, will rule it out, say it's absolutely
not, or we're investigating that. We've got the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Now this is very telling to me because always since nine to eleven,
when there's some ambiguous attack like this, they'll at least give the American people
the courtesy of saying that much, Yes, we are investigating this as a
terrorism incident, or no, we are ruling it out, or we are
at least looking at it and we haven't figured it out yet. In this
case, it's blank total silence on the question, on the big T question.
And what I'm arguing in my New York post piece and also another one
at cis dot org similar is that all of that indicates to me that the
administration absolutely knows this was motivated by a terrorism interest, that this was probably
a Jihavist attack, and I just decided that I'm going to call it for
what it is because I believe that that's what this was based on sort of
inductive logic. Unfortunately, we have to kind of fall back on that kind
of reasoning in the absence of any kind of information. So that's what I'm
doing. I'm just I'm concluding, and I challenged the administration or anybody else
to prove me wrong. I would be happy to have new information that proves
me wrong, but I don't believe that the American people will ever see any
such information because I'm right, this was a terror attack. And that's significant
because this would be the very first one that has ever been attempted by somebody
who illegally crossed the southern border. In this particular mass migration crisis. We've
been warning about this. The DHS has warned about it. The FBI director
has warned about it, that this border crisis is a national security threat.
And if they don't acknowledge it, which is one of my main arguments,
then how can we ever expect them to fix it? Which means that we're
in store for more of these certainly, And you think that the reason that
Biden and is people won't acknowledge this first ever border crossing terror attack is all
about political aims at the expense of public safety. Because all the recent polling
shows that the border crisis, immigration is a big hot button issue and has
Biden trailing in those polls. Yes, this is the Biden campaign's major achilles
heel, the border crisis. If he's going to lose, he's going to
lose in large part on that issue. He messed it up, he caused
it, and now we're having terror attacks. And if he or his people
were to actually acknowledge that that's what Quantico was a terror attack by a border
crossing illegal immigrant, all the major media would have to cover it. Donald
Trump would take this to the televised debate next month. This thing would just
become a huge It would just sinking. And they know it. And that's
why they are just hoping, of Ben's hope that the whole story just goes
away, that everybody just forgets about it, and that they're not going to
give the media or people like me any leeway whatsoever to keep this thing in
the headlines. I think that's really what this is all about. From the
Center for Immigration Studies, Todd Bensman Man, You've done so much great work
over the last six seven years. Also the author of a book called Overrun
was originally America's covert border war, and it's it's in full flagrante right now,
and it is unabated by an administration and a president who could simply with
the stroke of a pen and sign a couple of executive orders that he said
he was going to and he never did to stem the flow of all of
these unvetted illegals coming across our border, many of them with not so not
so good intent for the United States of America. Todd, thank you for
your time today. I know you're booked up. Thank you you. Bet
Tony Lyons, the president and publisher of Skyhorse Publishing. Coming up next trending
now on news Radio seven hundred w l waiting on the jury. They now
have the criminal case in New York against former President Donald Trump. Defense is
asking for a quick verdict not guilty of latestep dot com and bottom of the
hour breaking news at once News Radio seven hundred w LW starting this Saturday,
Genesis turns the laws of finance upside down with zero point zero interest financing on
all right now. Tony Lyons, who was the president publisher of Skyhorse Publishing,
an attorney and a co founder of a super pack supporting RFK Junior in
his bid for the presidency in twenty twenty four, Tony Lyons, thank you
for your endurance and patients, and welcome to the show. Yeah, thanks
for having me on. You're a big proponent of free speech, so I
got to ask you, aside from all these efforts to get RFK Junior on
the ballots in all these states and to make make it to the CNN's standards
of that first presidential debate, you had to be abhorred at the gag order
that was put on President Trump during his trial. Weren't you if you're a
free speech advocate, Yeah, definitely. I mean I think that the that
the d n C is playing all kinds of political games to stifle debate and
dialogue. And you know they're doing it by trying to keep Bobby Kennedy off
the ballot, by trying to keep him off the debate stage, by trying
to silence Trump. You know, this is not the way that the political
process is to both you know, is meant to go in a democracy.
And yeah, so I agree that I see it on all sides. Uh
where are we as far as Uh, you got ballot access in California far
I have for Bobby Kennedy. Uh, where are we standing in Ohio for
example? Yeah, So he's he's doing great in the sense that he's on
the ballot I think now in ten states and and then there are another almost
a dozen where he's either got all the signatures that he needs or he's very
close but they haven't been validated yet. So he's going to have enough signatures
to be on the ballot in enough states to get two hundred and seventy electoral
votes by June twentieth, which is you know what CNN asks for. You
know, the fascinating thing is that neither Trump nor Biden will because they won't
be on the ballot in any state till their conventions. So it's you know,
it's kind of just another type of censorship that they're making all of these
rules and then they're changing the rules, and they recognize, you know,
CNN recognizes that they made a mistake that Bobby Kennedy is the only of the
three candidates who's actually going to be on the ballot and you know, you
know, meet the criteria for ballid access that they've said. Well, this
is nothing new, though, Tony, because in twenty twenty, as you
will remember, in the presidential election, states were just changing the rules willy
nilly in the middle of an election as far as how the votes are counted
and who determines the winners. In those states Pennsylvania, a judge just autonomously
decided, well, the legislature's supposed to decide, but I'm going to decide
how this goes down and how the election can Twenty twenty was such a mess
with all the mail in and the absentee ballots. So it's not the first
time that they changed rules in the middle of the game. They've been doing
this for a while, sure, and this time it's even worse because this
time what you have is is the big tech platforms colluding with the President of
the United States and his team to censor people. So you know, we've
filed suit. We're suing Meta and Instant and Zuckerberg, all of them for
interfering with Bobby Kennedy's free speech. So we made this thirty minute film that
kind of tells Bobby Kennedy's real story, so you know, cuts through all
the censorship and the propaganda and tells his story in a way that I believe
is really honest and compelling. And Facebook was sending messages to users warning them
not to repost it, not allowing them to view it, telling them that
if they posted it, they could be kicked off the site. You know,
so all of these things, telling people that it contained sexual content.
So they were doing everything that they could to keep people from watching this film.
And you know, it's part of a pattern that as soon as Biden
came to power, he was writing emails to big tech platforms and specifically to
Meta and asking them to take down Bobby Kennedy's posts. Been doing this all
along, and it's just such an insult to the American people and to democracy,
and it really just has to stop. And it's part of this,
you know, sort of overall assault on democracy in this country. So I
think that twenty twenty four is really just going to be a mess in that
the tactics are so comprehensive and they're so hard to fight, and that all
these lawsuits now that are percolating that I think are really going to let the
American people know what's going on. But these are just all different forms of
election interference. So I understand, and it's clear to me that I think
that Robert F. Kennedy Junior, if he's on the ballots in and of
states and you guys are successful and getting him on a debate stage or whatever,
he can have a real impact on the twenty twenty four election. But
what's and Tony's gone apparently. I just wonder what the pass to the White
House is for RFK Junior. I don't think there is one. I think
he can definitely take votes away from Biden, probably if you were away from
Donald Trump, but there's no real path for him to unless they could throw
it into there. He is back again, ller Tony, we lost you
there. And my question at the end of this was, what is the
path for RFK Junior to the White House. Yeah. So you know,
I think that the recent polling shows that seventy percent or more of the American
public doesn't want to vote for Trump or Biden. And so I think that
if you look at that, that's never been true in modern US history,
that there's never been a case like that. And if you wop out Biden
with Bobby Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy actually in two recent polls, beats Donald Trump.
And if you swap out Bobby Kennedy for Donald Trump, Bobby Kennedy beats
Biden decisively. So you know, there's a lot going on here and it's
very hard to know how it's going to play out. But Bobby Kennedy is
definitely a very serious candidate who can win the election. And if you take
the censorship out, and you take all the political games out, and you
know, specifically, if you took away some of the three billion dollars that
the DNC is going to spend trying to rig this thing, you know,
then I think you could get an outcome where Bobby Kennedy just wins outright,
that he gets thirty four percent. Well, I wish you will in your
endeavors. I can't say that I'm an RFK junior supporter, but very interesting
to see another Kennedy in a presidential race for certain Tony Lyons. Good luck
with your super pack and your efforts to get him on the ballots and get
him on the debate stage, and we'll see what happens. All right,
Yeah, thanks so much. You got it a breaking back. Austin Elmore
joined this after the noon. Apparently our next guest does not like this walk
up music, this bumper music, but apparently other people think it's funny.
And it all stems from a story he told on the air. Did you
tell that story on the Scott's Loan Show? I did, Yes, I
told her on a couple of shows. How long ago did you tell the
story? Because I find it compelling As you were telling me during the news
break, it was probably a year ago. Oh you know McConnell tells his
his Christmas story where he's locked out her every year. Yeah, I mean,
maybe it's time for you to tell me the story because Austin Elmore is
in the studio here for a visit on the Scott Sloan Show. Gary Jeffen
for Slowney Today, and you kind of would giving me the thumbnail of what
had happened. That was the genesis of you having Bubba Sparks, Yeah,
Miss New Booty right as your theme music. So you'd like to hear the
story, I would like to hear the story. So for those of you
who've heard this before, indulge me, because so it was a year or
so ago. I pulled onto my street and in front of me was kind
of this raggedy taggety old car. It's kind of a narrow street. Cars
are parked on both sides, and get about just past where you pull onto
the street, past the light, and the car in front of me stops
and in the road, in the middle of the road, and all four
doors swing open, and music is blaring extremely loudly, some hip hop music,
a lot of beats, a lot of you know, excitement, and
out of the vehicle jumps four to five, maybe six women who's not you're
gonna say clowns. No, no, that's what I thought was happening at
first, Women that are well in doubt on their backsides, we'll say that
way, and they begin they got the beduncan, they've got big butts,
and they've got short shorts on and there's there's a lot of skin, and
they begin twirking violently all over the street. They are on the side of
the car. At one point a woman jumps on top of the car.
So this is a flash mob of large bootied women twerking correct in the middle
of the street. In the middle of the street, and I think in
the early evening, like it was maybe six o'clock at night, And there's
a park to the right, and there were some people there that matched the
same description of those who exited the vehicle. And a woman comes running over
to join them, and she was so excited that her breasts were falling out
of her shirt. So there's just skin everywhere and they are just throwing ass
all over the place. How long did this go on? This last?
And so I'm I'm trying to go home, gart If I can't pull to
the right, I can't pull to the left, I can't back up.
There's just booty everywhere, as the song says, and uh, this lasted
for three or four minutes before finally I think another car like moved and I
was able to pull around, but they did not like it was. Were
you frightened? No? No, this sort of behavior in my neighborhood is
not all that uncommon. It was ID been petrified. No, I was
appalled more than anything else. Like, it was just the the sheer level
of excitement that they had was special. So was there and so from that
point forward Scott plays that song it was. Was there ever any point in
this instant where you thought, you know what, I'm want to throw in
park and I'm gonna go join them? No, No, I don't know
how that would have been received. Why. I just don't think that that
would have been something they would have been interested in. I don't quite have
the same assets as them. I would have brought them down, huh.
Yeah. But if you had come with the same enthusiasm, perhaps Austin,
they might have welcomed you with open arm. From my experience on Planet Earth,
Gary Jeff, twerking is not just something you do. It's a skill,
like you have to really be good at it. And I really didn't
want to offend them by poor twerking or anybody else around me. I also
didn't have booty shorts on, so there's nothing I really would have fit the
description. There's nothing about twerking that I find artistic to be honest with you,
but we haven't seen enough talking in your life. Then, well,
is nothing artistic about board poor Andrew Abbott last night? Well his outing for
the Reds. You know, after a fourth straight win and the first against
the Cardinals on Monday, then we had last night and it fell apart fairly.
I mean hung in there for a couple of innings, but after that
the Cardinals were just bludgeoning the poor red starting pitcher. Yeah, it seven
to one before you knew it. Yeah, got the seven to one kind
of. I don't know if he just kind of ran out of gas.
And he had a couple of extra days of rest, so I thought maybe
he would be fresh. But the thing about this particular game is that the
Reds didn't kind of use the strategy or the path they'd used over the last
four When the Cardinals scored, it took the Reds two innings before they were
able to answer, and by the time they did answer, they were still
down two runs. The offense was an emack last night. They didn't put
any pressure on Saint Louis whatsoever, so once they were able to get out
to a lead, all the pressure shifted onto the Reds, who were struggling
to get hits, struggling to get base runners were no hit through the first
five innings of the game. And that's the thing that's been frustrating about the
team this year is there's those moments where they play like that for four games
and they're not afraid of a deficit. They put pressure on the opposing team.
They play good, clean baseball, and then they'll play a game where
offensively it looks like they've never seen major league pitching before, and that can
be really frustrated. Every time I see them explode with like the nine to
six game, you know, over the Friday, I guess every time I
see that, I go, man, did they just waste all the runs
they had in him? For the next week? Because you know that those
offensive explosions have been few and far between this year for this team. And
again, if they get on base, they got a chance to score every
inning because they're so aggressive and they're so fast, man demand on base and
they can cause so many problems for the opposing team's pitcher and defense with their
running. You know, the leader in steals in all of major leagues,
right, Yeah, they do. But that's the thing they haven't been stealing
a lot of basses because they haven't had a lot of guys on price.
And you can't the old Billy Hamilton disease, you can't steal first base,
right, that's that old saying is you can't steal first base. Poor Billy
Hamilton became the fastest player in the Major League from the batter's box to the
dugout. Yes he did. And you know that's the other thing. They've
just struck out so much it's crazy, Like the strikeout percentages is way high.
Uh, they're not putting the bat on the ball as much as they
need to be. And you know, last night was really confusing because Kyle
Gibson is a guy who they had many of those guys had seen before and
had a lot of success against, but for whatever reason, they couldn't seem
to touch Kyle Gibson. Uh So, Yeah, those moments of frustration have
happened a lot this year for this team, and a part of it is
a lack of health. Part of it is it seems like they don't have
the right plan at the plate, and the first four games, or the
last four games prior to last night, seemed like they were always doing the
right thing, and night like last night, they weren't. It's frustrating.
Yeah, switch gears here a little bit Scottie Scheffler's I guess court appearance before
we do that, Gary Joe. A good piece of information that just came
through about the Cincinnati Reds playing here in a couple of hours. TJ.
Friedel is back. TJ Friedels lineup. He's leading off today for the Reds.
So there you go. There's some good news. Well, and maybe
he's the spark to get them going and get this machine. Hurt the wrist
in spring training, came back, played six games, broken thumb on a
hit by pitch. He's back. What is the deal with all of the
hit by pitch this year for the Reds? Are they just crowding the plate
or what's the deal with that? I do wonder if the scouting report on
the Reds is they struggle with the inside pitch and so play and pitchers just
more frequently go there. However, they're right around the league average of being
hit by pitch. Problem is they keep getting hurt when they're hit by pitch.
They're hitting those bad spots, the thumbs, the wrists, the hands
that cause guys to miss time as opposed to you know, on the back
of the leg or on the shoulder or something like that. Well, Dave
Bell was throwing a tantrum like a five year old, throwing chairs. To
love that guy, Yeah, I do, just throwing chairs because he's so
mad at how crappy things have been. I love when he just goes after
an umpire. It's the best. I like David, but you usually you
don't see that kind of emotion out of him most of the time. Well,
you know, since he's come into the big leagues, he's second in
Major leagues in ejections, behind only Aaron Boom. David Bell for a while
was losing his mind at umpires a lot. He's been a little bit more
reserved as of late. But you know, I'm a big David Bell fan.
I like it when he just loses his mind. Do you think that
there is the remotest possibility the Reds get back into a position where they can
contend in the division by the All Star break. What has to happen and
they have to win a lot. Obviously, they put themselves in a four
hundred hole, you know, after after doing fairly well at the beginning of
the season. You know, it was kind of a reverse of last year
where they started three and ten or three and eight ten, whatever it was.
Yeah, it was horrid. I do think that they can get back
to contention. It's not going to be easy. They need to be as
far as I see it, they need to be at five hundred by the
end of this month, and they play a lot of teams that are beatable.
Pittsburgh, Chicago is playing terrible right now. They can win this series
today against Saint Louis. There's a lot of division games coming up. If
they can get to five hundred by the start of July, I like their
odds. The first thirteen games in July prior to the All Star Break,
three of them are against the against the Yankees over fourth of July in New
York, not going to be an easy series. But the next ten is
a home stand against three of the worst teams in baseball. If the Reds
can get five hundred by the beginning of July and then I don't know when
eight of those games, nine of those games before the All Star Break,
they're certainly in contention. Well, it's a lot to ask for it again
again, teams that are a team that's having obviously some power outages at the
worst times. I want to get back to Scotty Scheffler, who of course
got arrested outside Valhalla during the PGA Championship on the Saturday morning round for,
among other things, assaulting a police officer, criminal assault of a police officer
because the guy thought he was a Starsky Hutch model, jumping on the hood
of Scheffler's car or whatever, grabbing on the Scheffler's car because you know,
he was a major threat to go around the traffic and be waived around like
other players had earlier that morning. You know, he's marked, he's in
a player's only car, and they'd already let other players in past the traffic
accident, and the first police officer Scotti Scheffler encountered told him to go up
and around and through, which is what he was doing when he did that,
and then the other guy stopped him. There was obviously a miscommunication from
the officers there, and then Scotty probably drove a little bit longer than he
should have with this guy trying to flag him down. It was just a
surreal situation. Yeah, if the charges aren't thrown out. I will be
very surprised. Yeah, I think we're supposed to hear something about that today.
Yeah, they were for today. Yeah, I have not heard anything
yet. I haven't heard anything yet. I did see some body camera footage
that came out earlier today that with the officer kind of questioning Scotty about his
side of things. And it was not the officer that was drugged to the
ground, it was a different officer. And you basically hear Scotty say the
exact story I just told you, and he said, I didn't think that
that was a police officer trying to stop me, and then he just you
know, put his arm in my window and like pulled my my arm and
all that. And Scotty admits he's like, I should have stopped sooner than
I did, but I didn't realize that was a police officer, and I
thought I was. I was given the good to go. But I'll tell
you, his attorneys have been very very you know, you know, steadfast
on the fact that we're not letting this go. We're not just going to
settle or anything like this. We'll fight this. And I think they feel
like he didn't do anything wrong. That's what they feel. Well, the
first blush, you hear the story and you don't know anything about it,
and you think it's, oh no, this is another entitled golfer or somebody
is a celebrity just thinking that they're above everybody else, and you find you
you peel away the layers of that story and that's not the case at all.
Scotty Scheffler was very respectful and all all of those other things, and
once they told him in that story might fit for some of the golfers on
the tour, but when you think of like the person that Scotty Scheffler is
the exactly opposite. If there's Tiger Woods, everybody would fee a little bit
more believable that that happened, but Scottie Scheffler doing it no way. Did
you have any take on the comments of Jammel Hill on Caitlin Clark. What
did Jamel Hill say? Uh, well, okay, you can't have a
take if you didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. I don't really
basically said attention to Hill basically said, and the thing is, Sonny Houston
of the View said similar things about Caitlin Clark that she had white privilege and
tall privilege. Caitlin Clark is not tall compared to other WNBA stars. And
then she said she had pretty privilege. There's such a half heard of pretty
privilege. I've never look I love Caitlin Clark, but I've never looked at
her as particularly you know, like a beauty queen. Sure, pretty privileged
person. But Jammel Hill was saying that it's all it's all because she's white,
and and just this nonsense. What all is because she's white? All
the attention that she's getting and the fact that she had, you know,
she actually got the WNBA to doing private chartered flights instead of flying commercial everywhere.
She's elevated the game and brought a lot more attention. And Jamel Hill's
take basically was the reason that there's more attention than the WNBA is because Caitlyn
Clark is white, and that's why she's popular. Most of Jamel Hill's takes
are based off of race, which is a reason why I don't really pay
much attention to her. I do agree that, you know, maybe if
it was someone else, there wouldn't be as much attention on her. But
is the reason is the reason that Caitlyn Clark broke the scoring record because she
was white? Is that what happened? If her Jammel Hill might might say
that, Yeah, that would be my question. Is her god given ability
to make shots and score and do all these things because she's white? That
would be my question. Now all the other things, Maybe there's something there.
Maybe there is something about the attention and the endorsements and all that.
Maybe so, but Clark put herself in that position because she's really good at
basketball. Yeah. Absolutely. Austin Elmore, thank you, And I hope
that. I hope you can remain booty free the rest of the day.
Unless you know you're looking for something like that. The winds could change.
You never know. Takes the twerk where you can find it. Always a
pleasure, Gary Jeff, thank you, sir seven utter WLW keep your golf
game sharp at Robin's Nest? Do you want to be an American? All
right? So the judge and the Trump trial in New York has been instructing
the jury now for about the last hour, going over intented to fraud says
it only has to exist at the moment of criminal conduct. Says, you
have to decide whether you believe the witnesses are not the jury instructions. Of
course, the judge in this case, the Jan Marshawn character, who was
obviously a Biden partisan, obviously hand picked for this to get has saying that
his that his his hand has been on the scales of justice is one of
the great understatements of all time. But anyway, the nation watches and waits
for a verdict. Will they convict a former president for the first time of
some kind of criminal charges that they couldn't define what it was during the trial?
Thirty four counts of charges related to hush money paid to a porn star
to keep her quiet and that influenced the twenty sixteen election. How many people
knew about Stormy Daniels before that show hands? The Stormy Daniels story been out
there since twenty eleven. I don't know what they were trying to keep to
influence the twenty sixteen election. That's what this is all based on. It's
based on the Democrats and the Biden administration wanting to take Donald Trump out of
the picture. Everybody knows this is that okay with you? Though? That's
the question because it's Trump. I know we've got a bunch of Trump haters
who are actually on the air here at this station. I've heard them,
and I have talked to plenty of people who can't stand Donald Trump, and
I've heard all their reasoning, and there's no reason. Really. They just
don't like him. Oh he's a womanizer, Oh he's this, that,
he's mean, he calls people names. And the reaction most of the time
you get is like that of Robert de Niro, who was speaking for the
Biden Harris campaign yesterday in front of the court room the courthouse they're in New
York where the Trump trials going on, because that's where the cameras were,
and Joe Biden can't draw a crowd or cameras anywhere he's going. He's in
Pennsylvania today campaigning like Donald Trump should be instead of sitting in court waiting for
this kangaroo verdict that's about out. So if you're one of the people who
just hates Donald Trump for Donald Trump, I'd love to hear from you and
hear your reasoning. We'll probably have to dump you because you'll begin cursing like
a washed up actor who couldn't speak off the top of the cuff. Yesterday
at his little press conference, only read from his loose leaf script. Guess
he hadn't had time to memorize his lines. Judge evidenced that the defendant was
present when others agreed on crime does not mean he's guilty. This is a
judge, by the way, who said to the attorneys, the prosecution and
the defense, don't talk about the law. I will talk about the law.
I'm the judge. I'm the man in charge. During Donald Trump's presidency
up until COVID, grave misgivings about the way he handled that, the way
he handled anything during COVID, and the fact that he was spending like a
drunk sailor, like or giving the green light to spending like a drunk sailor,
like every other president we've had up into and back to President Bush,
the Clintons. So I have some problems with Donald Trump, but I know
what's going on now and what was going on then. What was going on
during Donald Trump's presidency was unprecedented economic expansion, jobs, the prices. Look,
they say, all politics is local. Nothing is more local than going
to the grocery store. During Joe Biden's presidency, he says inflation was nine
percent. When he took office, it was one point seven percent. And
food has gone up more than thirty percent since Joe Biden took office, and
his administration's policies, regulations, and everything else he has done since he went
into office, signing executive orders and the bills he has signed, has done
nothing but increase inflation and make prices go through the roof. It takes some
calls here, Doug in Indiana, what's on your mind? Well? I
keep hearing all this stuff about the Trump trial and Stormy Daniels and this and
that. What have you do? You reckon Stormy Daniels taxes on that one
hundred and thirty five thousand. I have no idea because everyone is innocent except
Donald Trump exactly exactly. I can't believe that they had her on the stand
at this trial. The fact that whatever she brought to the table, including
talking to dead people and describing the alleged triist with Donald Trump and embarrassing anecdotes
from that alleged trist, alleged affair, none of it had none of it
had to do anything with false business records, nothing exactly exactly. And that's
why I don't understand why Mrshawn or whatever his name is, hasn't seen this
as a mistrial. Well, no, but because he was hand selected to
do this, because of his ties to Biden and his family's tie. His
daughter's tied her daughter, His daughter is making millions of dollars supporting the Democrats.
So this is all this is all just a hoax. It's another hoax.
It's another fake news thing put together specifically to target Donald Trump. Alvin
Bragg, the man who brought these charges to the foe, the district attorney,
ran on getting Donald Trump, just like Letitia James, the New York
State Attorney General, ran on getting Donald Trump. They're having the trial in
Manhattan, where ninety percent of the people voted for Joe Biden. The prosecutor
in the case was the third man at Biden's doj who was hand selected to
prosecute this case in New York in a New York state court. They're trying
to charge him with federal election crimes, which they have no jurisdiction over,
on charges of falsifying business records that long ago expired. The statue of limitation.
It's all a joke. But it's not a joke. If they if
they're doing it, particularly to knock out the political candidate that threatens theirs,
and that's what they're doing. This is what third world countries do, Banana
republics, and that's what we've become. Doug, thank you very much.
Glenn in Cole Rain, Hello, good morning, Jerry Jeff. How you
doing, sir? Doing fine? Why can't Donald Trump win? Man,
He's just poisoned the well. I voted for Trump twice. I put out
campaign signs for him. He's poisoned the well amongst white women. And you
can't win if you don't carry white women. He was a great guy man,
and what he has done is he has gave us the perfect storm.
Republicans and Democrats have just ruined this country and it's a game to him.
Kennedy can win this election. I'm telling you, I'm one of his big
supporters. Now. He's not a perfect guy, but he can pull the
young people in that he needs to pull in. And he's being covered up
right now, but he has a huge following. He is so far he
is so far left on these policies. The only thing I agree with Robert
F. Kennedy Junior on the COVID nineteen vaccines and what a farce they are.
That's the only thing I agree with, RFK Junior. You don't agree
with him on pulling out all these foreign countries, and then I don't agree
with him on the Green New Deal and all the climate garbage he believes.
No, I don't. I don't disagree with that. But he's evolving,
you know, which is something you can't say Trump's ever done. He's still
pushing his vaccine mandate and that Trump's not pushing the vaccine mandate right now,
but he's still bragging about how great he did with operations at York Speed.
Well, yeah, you gotta let that doll go. I agree with that,
Glynn, no question about Trump. But I just don't think you can
win. I think we've got our we've got our once a two hundred year
chance to get rid of Republicans and Democrats and get somebody in there that can
do something. Man, if we don't jump on this, we're doomed.
Brother. RFK Junior is a Democrat and independent clothing brother, and and good
luck with that. Alan and Springfield, Hello, Hey, how you doing?
Gary? Jeff Good You say Trump and Biden deserve everything they get pretty
much yes, I did, because, first of all, Joe Biden's been
around way too long to be our president leader. He's been selling he's been
he's been selling out the country for his entire fifty years, and elected office
as a senator, as a vice president. We have the proof of that,
right, right, and and and and the clowns on the Democratic side
and the clowns on the Republican side. Donald Trump deserves everything he gets as
well. Two things. January sixth, that's all on him, baby,
I don't care what you guys say. I listened to WLW since the mid
eighties, and I'm tired of uh that you guys did the roundabout way you
guys defend him. Sometimes you guys will criticize Donald Trump is junk, and
I don't understand why you guys can't Trump. Okay, okay, tell me
why he's junk. Don't just don't do it trump and just call him a
name. Tell me why he's foremost, first and foremost. I'll tell you
first first, while he's junking. You won't agree. A lot of people
don't agree with this, and I don't care about what people do too much
outside of politics, but I would never vote for a man who said what
he said on that dumb bus with that reporter. I would never vote for
a man who said that I have daughters. I would never vote for a
man like that. Okay, Number one, Number two, January sixth,
People died? Who who died? Who died? Alan? Who died?
Who died? Trying to get in? The woman was shot by a veteran
unarmed, an unarmed veteran who was actually trying to make sure that there was
no more chaos or mayhem that went on, by an armed Capitol police guard
who murdered her for no reason. No, I'm not nuts, That's exactly
what happened. She was. They were trying to break in, they were
busting she was already in, she was unarmed, and she was murdered by
that Capitol police officer. Oh you're a nut like you are. Donald Trump
is junk, and I'm a nut. You're you're you're you're great, You're
great at name calling. Go ahead, Well all's Willie does when he gets
on here and repeat himself. He makes fun of Joe Biden and everything.
Why won't you guys have something better to say than all the poor national media
beating of us we're Republicans. Go after it, man, figure out a
better attack mode. That is not working. Whining about the media. It
doesn't work well. The media is an arm of the Democrat Party, plain
and simple. If you if you don't see that, then you're just blind.
Alan. The mainstream media is an army. I see that. My
point is, get over it, move on, figure the figure this out,
man. I just the the beating back and forth. I mean,
the disgrace of this country that we put up with people like AOC and Matt
Gates. I mean, come on, what a bunch of jokes, and
and yet people defend them, well, defend Donald Trump. I'll, I
will, I will, I will go along with AOC. I mean joke
too. Why can't you say it because you're a Republican. No, I'm
not a Republican. Actually, I called people how to I mean no,
no, no, no, you know you're right, you're right if somebody
is wrong. Marjorie Taylor Green, I just shake my head at that woman.
Yeah. I think a couple of those people could, really they set
their mind to it, be good representatives to their constituents. But they're all
just trying to grab the headline. I mean well, look at look at
the look at what we've done just in the speakership in the last year,
and then we could play a while. We can't get nothing done? Are
you kidding me? Come on? Neither party wants to sit down work together
now. Usually compromise in especially in this environment, just leads to giving in
to the Democrats. That's what compromise, That's what their idea of compromise is
reaching across the Aisle Brian and Middleport. Real quick, what you got man?
I just wonder I'm wondering how history going to record this whole devostle.
I mean, how our kids, my grandkids are going to be taught.
They're gonna be rereading about this history books to write the history books and what
what's it gonna say? I'm just carrious. It's an interesting question. Uh.
Sadly we probably won't be around to see it, but uh maybe some
of us will be around to help write it and make sure it's an actual
account and not a slanted one side or the other kind of deal. John
jari Ye, how are you? I'm fine? What real quick? John,
I I'm up against the wall here. Yes, I'll be very brief.
You're a last caller and I kind of I kind of call in,
uh right during their call talked about the January sixth. Now the person was
shot, you're saying they were murdered. Look to me, it's a two
way street. If you break into a building, whether if that woman broke
in, I don't know, I didn't on the building. If you break
in, if you're trespassing, in my mind, and you get shot,
it's no different than the Antifa people breaking in and looting. They should have
been shot, right, I don't have a problem with that, but the
break But the problem, But John, the problem is they weren't. And
the pro Hamas terrorist who broke into that building at Columbia weren't shot. So
it's it's it's about equal protection under the law and an equal playing field,
and we don't have that right now in this country. And I think that's
a big issue. A breaking back seven hundred WLW all right in our final
half hour, the kind of story sparks by an NBC reports this past weekend
that bemoan the fact that states are tracking down on crime again because of course,
looking back on the death of George Floyd four years ago, complaining in
this report that Georgia added cash bail requirements for thirty new crimes this year.
Like that's a bad thing, or that Oregon passed a bill recriminalized possession of
small amounts of drugs. They have absolutely had it in Oregon with the free
Society of free flowing drugs. The story also bemoaned the fact that Republican Governor
Ronda Santas had championed and signed several bills into law related to police measures,
included in air quotes an anti rioting law that may curtail protests. The writers
of that story at NBC the trend toward tough on crime indicates some of those
efforts at change following the death of Floyd have stalled to talk about that and
more. Is law enforcement veteran. He is the founder CEO of invest USA.
They provide bulletproof vests for police officers and first responders all across the country.
Michael, Lets, how are you doing, my friend? I'm doing
great. Always a person to be back with. Yes, great, great
honor. Thank you so much for the opportunity. In many cities that have
adopted the no cash bail policies, the justice system has become a revolving door
of recidivius crime and wonder of wonder, Georgia decided that that wasn't working for
the law and order citizens of the state of Georgia, and so they have
now reinstated cash bail for like thirty new crimes. What do you know about
this particular story, Michael, Let me tell you. And there's another breaking
story right now just for this morning. It all ties in together. It
shows the tremendous struggle between good and evil. This country's base. Georgia did
have prosecutors who were pushing the idea they were soils based prosecutor because the progressive
prosecutors that felt like, you know, we didn't need to have cash fail
that if you committed a crime, that you should just be able to be
put back out on the street and ponder the mistake of your ways, and
then of course they would find a lighter sentence and put you back on the
path. Well, the argument, the argument was that it discriminated primarily against
minorities who did not have the money to post bail, so they would sit
in jail for inorder the amount of times awaiting their criminal trial. So that's
part of the reason they were in stated and you know put in place in
the first place. But please, you're exactly right. That was that was
part of it. But you know the other part was that they just felt
like we needed to do a number of things. We needed to get people
back out on the streets, burden less than the burden of the tax payers
that being cast freedom. So anyway, that's where it went for a little
while, and then violent crime begin to spike up again. Why would it
not when there's no consequences, there's no accountability. Well, we find out
that that liberal ideology, the progressive thinking, is still out there. Just
this morning, Boston's mayor has now come out and said that they want to
eliminate any penalties of theft, no more rest. You can steal freely in
the town of Boston and not face any consequences. It's a really a perverted
type of mentality when you think that if you remove the penalty for crime,
as suddenly people are not going to do it anymore. I think they must
be being dropped on their hands more than times than they can count. You
have that kind of philossi to begin with. Well, Michael, they can
say that crime, crime is down because it's not a crime. It doesn't
get reported. Yeah, you're exactly right. There is no crime because there's
no there are no crimes to be committed. Unfortunately, the American populace is
way too intelligent for that. We see right through it, and we see
what is happening. Never have we had such a spike in violent crime property
crime as we're having now. And it's just amazing to me. We just
had a case. We'll fixing the report on a few hours here or another
illegal immigrant in Texas arrested im into Chicago, excuse me, ten times in
a row. He's been arrested every month for our crime and put back down
on the street every month. But for the last ten months has been a
crime he's committed. He's been arrested for and then released, arrested and released,
no portion of deportation. We just put it back on the street.
This is a mentality that this administration is trying to convince you and I that
we should accept. This is progressive them, this is good for our country.
I don't think anybody that's stupid to buy that anymore. I don't know
where they come up with this philosophy. Quite frankly, well, you know,
it points out how right, Donald Trump was when he said and and
he you know, signed executive orders and made a commitment to stemming the tide
of illegal immigration in this country. He said, they're not sending us our
best, their best and their brightest, you know, they're they're sending us.
And in the case of since Joe Biden has taken office, and we
have this just flood of illegal immigrants coming in, unvetted, unovated, through
our southern border, through all of our borders. We have uh prisoners,
criminals who've been let out of the jails in Venezuela, and the Venezuelan and
government says, yeah, go go to the United States. And why we
did not. We have terrorists from all different countries all over the world coming
in and this current administration just with a nod new link says, well,
they're going to be voters of ours someday. So it's all, okay,
you're exactly right. You don't what's solazy. Just yesterday we picked up five
thousand all the board. Okay, you need liberates more. These are the
ones we picked up, not the ones that get through a detective. You
realize this is the first time out of the five pounds We picked up not
a single one from Mexico. Eighty percent of them were from Iran, Syria,
Jordan, terrorist states that have made a vow to destroy America. That's
where the few Turkey, that's where these people are calling them from. And
we sat here and we even interviewed some of them, and they looked at
us and said, now we're here to work. Of course they're have to
defend themselves, but why would your country do this? Why would you let
people just come in uh with disregard, no regard for what they're tenn is
they even know better? And yet our administration can't seem to figure that one
out. It just shows to me it's not stupidity. It's a plan maneuver
to destroy the freedom, the liberties you and I enjoy doing that for some
time. And quite frankly, what you saw the we started off this interview.
The media is their pulpit, and they are upset that the American citizens
are saying enough to enough, we want people held accountable, and we're bringing
back to holding people accounting for their actions. They're saying, hey, hell,
this is supposed to work. They're supposed to let go on the street.
It's supposed to be the right thing to do. Now the Americans are
rejecting that. The media is upset about it. Oh, there's a big
media uh, you know, firestorm recalling George Floyd's death four years ago,
in the big media firestorm in the in the in the you know, in
the aftermath of George Floyd's death that sparked the BLM and ANTIFA riots and the
burnings of police stations and courthouses and the taking over of downtown areas and streets
and everything that we saw in twenty twenty, which was wholly political in nature.
It wasn't about civil rights. Correct, If you look back at that
mayhem that took place four years ago, what what stands out to you and
what was the what was the end result for law enforcement in this country?
We know what it was. Many police departments had their entire budgets gutted following,
correct, the protests and what's happened in those towns in cities right well,
exactly, let's take a look where we're at national right now because of
this defund the police movement. Right now, most agencies are at two thirds
at best of capacity. Some New York City in la are almost at a
half. You can't provide protection service to your people with half of the you
require necessary to do it. It's just technically impossible. And what's going to
continue to happen. We're asking these other half that are left to do double
the job, and they're already burned out, so the whole issue is collapsing.
They know that that was their gold objective. You know, I was
on a debate with bla man. I asked one simple question, dead silence,
tell me one thing, only one. Just give me one thing.
That's all have done with the American people, for black community, for anybody.
Tell me one thing that you've done. You raised on hundred million dollars,
Tell me one thing, just once. It's all I'm asking for that
you've done it better the state and this community in this country in silence because
they split the money they've raised on themselves. They've done nothing but destroy the
black community by burning it down. They've done nothing but remove police officers from
the street so that they can violent crime to continue to escalate and raise and
I'm proud of that. These people need to be shot well, I mean,
and they found out too that the founders of VLM were really part of
the trans movement. It wasn't. It had nothing to do with black lives.
It had to do with their own lives, their personal lives, their
trans lives. And we found that out after the fact. Plus they were
a great fundraising arm for the Democrat Party and Code Blue and still are absolutely
Did you know, man, that's why we had come to this country.
Did you know that of the Inflation Reduction Act funds that were passed in twenty
twenty two. By the way, how's that working for you? The Inflation
Reduction Act, it's rare. I think it was the Inflation Increase Yeah,
yeah, yeah, Increedy and Inflation Allowance Act. They one of most of
the billions that were signed into law by Joe Biden through the Congress, and
the Inflation Reduction Act were a Green New Deal projects supposedly, but what they
really were were handouts to all kinds of activist group, including one that's Climate
Justice or something. They gave fifty million dollars to Climate Justice. If you
go to their website, they are supporters of Hamas and there's a there's a
picture on this this organization's website of one of the tanks that broke through the
barriers on October seventh that allowed Helmas to get into Israel, and you know
they're cheering that so even had nothing to do with green energy or the Green
New Deal. It is amazing how we have been duped by these bills and
legislation that does exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Well,
you think the public attitude towards law enforcements changed and been restored since four
years ago. I think it has because people are fed up with the crime.
We're making a change. I don't want to say that we're there yet,
but we're making the change. It is vastly improving. I think once
people understand that you can't expect somebody else to solve owing problems. If we're
going to do this real new this again as the country, we're going to
have to be united and we're going to have to reach take the country back
to the place that we have values and principles once again. And we can't
stand idly by it. Let some rogue government decide that they're going to trample
on our rights and our freedom. It's just not going to be possible to
deal both. Well, I mean, why do you why do you suppose
the media treats tough on crime is bad. Well, I think the reason
is because they have such a close relationship with this ideology with the Democratic Party.
They've supported them, they've gotten everything they want to and they get funded.
You know, you mentioned it. You just hit the very tip of
the iceberg. How the majority were trillions of dollars is funded to these leftist
organizations through Congress with innoculous names humanitarian care, humanitarian aid, restore you know
this, or do this or that, and they don't do that at all.
They put through nonprofits and they spend money in the media. The mainstream
media is changing. Of course, the news print is kind of going down,
so they've got to have somebody help pay their bills, advertising and all.
So they use the federal government and Democrats and help support with our task
dollars they owe them. Well, you know, it's it's odd. Part
of the part of the messaging, and they defund the police efforts that were
you know successful for their intent, largely in a lot of big cities,
was that police were were unfairly demonizing and incarcerating minorities. And you look in
those minority communities, they are the ones who are crying out for a police
presence. You go into black communities in this country and eighty percent of the
residents want more police on the street, not less. The only people that
don't want police on the street and police doing their job and enforcing the law
or the criminals. It's pretty obvious. And you talk to go ahead,
go ahead. I think you call it from the democratic colossity. They have
we did the black community for its destruction, and unfortunately they don't even realize
that. They give them welfare, they don't want them to work, they
want them to be dependent on the government. They have bought their children.
They make them feel like they're victims of law, so they shouldn't have to
regard laws. You'd have to have any police protection. So they turn on
themselves every policy they have done. They have said, we're doing policies to
promote equity and to promote the black community, have done the exact opposite.
They've done nothing but to keep the black community down and try to destroy it.
And I think the black community is recognizing that now and while waking up
that that's not the way it's supposed to be. Let's talk about your organization
for a manator so mister Lett's, it's invest USA and how can people get
involved and what do you do exactly? Well, in US USA, we
started thirty two years ago. We provide protective equipment for law enforcement officers.
But we've got a lot of things. When we first started, we had
fifty two percent of officers they had no vests. We got that down to
nineteen percent. Then the criminal want went to shooting long range rifles, which
they concealable vest will not protect. So we had to start all over with
you with active shooting vest which protected gives long range rifles, but ninety percent
of cops don't have those. So we're putting the officers on the street,
ask them to do a job that they have no way of being home with
us family should they be challenged, and that's that's that's criminal for us to
do that. So we make sure we provide a vest. We also make
sure that we take care of their other needs. You know, right now
our officers, we have a high suicide rate in history. PTSD is real
for law enforcement. For purpospondents, we don't even discuss it. Let's try
and figure out how to address it. We are making sure they have the
necessary equipment they need otherwise for non lethal methods of dealing with criminal element And
the biggest thing that we do is we tell the opportunity for the community.
Hey, these people put their lives online for a little or nothing. At
least you can do show your support. Reach out today and tell the cops
thank you for your service. That's all we're asking. Show them the respect
they deserve. Michael, Let's invest USA. Thank you so much for I'm
my friend and we'll talk soon. I'm sure that's it for me. Gary
