Again the night cap in the best place to start is at the beginning,
and with that we welcome in one of our favorite all time guests on this
program. He's an incredible, incredible guest. He is well, I'll let
him tell you in a moment. He's a forensic psychologist based out of Austin,
Texas, was one of the trailblazers in ketamine treatments in this country,
which of course have been in the headlines and maybe misinterpreted those headlines as to
the actual the efficacy and the safety of said ketamine. And he is my
friend. He's a he's a father, he's a hunter. He's still you're
still married to your wife. Yeah, he's a husband. And he loves
dogs, which means he is like one of the best people on the planet.
Doctor John Huber, how are you? I am amazing? Thank you
very much for asking Gary Jeff Walker first and foremost, before we get to
the elephant in the room story over the last week regarding ketamine, I have
Christmas brain. I've got foggy Christmas brain. Is that unusual for people this
time of year? As we wind down the days of the year and get
closer and closer to the exact celebration of said holiday, Christmas. And for
those of us who celebrate and participate, and even people who don't understand or
don't celebrate Christmas as I know it as a Christian are still involved in the
holiday hubbub and presence and family gatherings and all of that. How common is
Christmas brain? It's actually very common. What we find is that just about
anything that creates stress in our lives causes issues with memory recall and things like
that. Now, there are a few people who, to a certain extent
can take that stress and use it in a beneficial way, and we call
that ustress. Uh and and ustress is actually what allow people like like athletes,
you know, they prime themselves. You think of a track, start
getting at the starting blox, you know, that level of stress, and
it's building up to cause a trigger reaction for them to fire off and function
at their best. That is actually what we consider a positive type of stress,
most of us though. However, you know, we started this whole
thing with thanks or Halloween in October, writing the Thanksgiving and now we're right
into to Christmas time and we're just kind of beaten that that dead horse too
long and what happens is it just it becomes kind of a chronic issue,
and so having issues with memory and forgetting different things that that you know,
you know are a priority for you. Uh and and then the minute you
realize you forgot that, agree, it's a whole nother stress issue, and
it just becomes a domino effect and it just builds and builds the builds.
I don't know that it's actually negative stress or you stress. In my case,
it's just one of those things where I just want everything else to be
done so I can concentrate on Christmas and other things we have to do.
I mean, I'm serious. Maybe I'm just lazy, maybe I'm just burnt,
But it's not by the actual prospect of Christmas. I'm not really concerned
with all the Christmas shopping's done. We do have to travel next weekend to
see my parents in Middle Tennessee, but that's not a really stressful thing either,
not generally to me. What I'm thinking about, basically is putting my
feet up and not doing anything for about forty eight to seventy two hours.
Is that part of this or not? Well, what happened is these little
bitty things individually are nothing, and so you don't oftentimes associate them as being
something that's stressful. That can kind of cause that. But eventually what happens
is, again, it's a snowball effect, and it doesn't any one thing
again is not a big deal. It's when you start adding these things.
God now, now being able to stop and physically not involve yourself in your
daily grind, that's a whole another issue that a lot of us aren't very
good at. We're so used to just going all the time, and if
we stop and you know, essentially remove ourselves from what's going on in our
existence, now, all of a sudden we start thinking of things like,
oh man, what's going on with me? Why am I not working?
What? We start creating a whole nother uh level of stress that that we're
not used to. I don't know, Maybe maybe I should just cash it
in for a week, but I don't. I have to do these Well.
I didn't mean cash in all the way. I didn't mean go all
in and yeah, talk to me. I know a place you can go
visit and leave the casino on a gurney. I wasn't talking about that.
I just meant I don't know, just for the rest of the year,
but I have things yet to do so and including this show, and we're
just getting started with that. So you and I almost at the very inception,
and you'd already been working with this drug for stress and chronic pain and
anxiety and all of the things that we and you certainly know that ketamine can
be useful for and be very helpful to people. And then we heard the
final cause of death of the the you know, the actor Matthew Perry from
Friends at a very young age, and he'd had a lifetime of addiction that
he was battling and that was very well known. I mean, he was
out in the open with it and honest about it, especially the last few
years. But the cause of death finally released. It was what they say
over now, not overdosing or what was it with ketamine? What was the
it was it was a cute reaction to ketamine side effects or something like that.
It was really bizarre when in fact, the other drug that he was
on printous and v U p r E n O r p h I n
E is a drug that is a narcotic and it is highly physically addicted and
it is very similar in a lot of ways to to uh, it was
a heroine and the other drugs that are used to treat heroin, and it's
designed specifically for that. It's a drug that is only given one day at
a time to stop breathing and lowers your heart rate and causes unconsciousness. And
what I think is really interesting. Now, forget the fact that I've done
Kennyming for as a practitioner for going on better part of ten years and used
it with my patients and physicians, and forget all that as a university professor
that I taught for over about twenty one years. The thing that I caught
right away is the guy said that the report said that Kennyming had a three
to five hour half life, when actually the research shows it's a seven minute
to eleven minute half life for the majority of our population. So immediately,
immediately we know this guy doesn't have all of his facts straight. So what
else did he not get right? And that's what I look at and what
I would teach my gratitudents. You start finding errors like that, what else
did this person not get right? So I question the veracity of that,
and I would have to defer again to my peers who are who are pathologists,
And you know, if I'm able to get a copy of the full
autopsy, I would like to take that to some of my peers again who
are pathologists, and see, hey, were there some mistakes made on this
report? You know what what other information is incorrect or missing? When I
know for a fact, as a practitioner who works with really highly regarded physicians
using ketamine in my practice, with these positions to treat individuals who are suffering
from psychotropic issues, why did this in staate occur? Knowing that, man,
the data they reported is correct. Kennine also does not suppress your respiratory
system. It does not need you know that, it does not need intubation
when that medicine is being used. It's safe enough that we use it over
things like propofol in child surgeries and children and young young infants because we don't
have to intubate, because we don't have to worry about respiratory suppression. And
you know, this doctor is blaming ketamine and its residual side effects now knowing
and even stated in his report that he had his infusion approximately ten days beforehand
and probably had some oral a ketemine to supplement that did not even go into
the seriousness of the printiform. But I can't even say the word it's it's
a drug that is oftentimes and I'm not going to get into the the because
I don't want to have a loss of coming after me. Yeah, and
knowing how addictive that medication is that the FDA says, do not give it
three days in a row. Yet this person was apparently given some to take
it home on his own. And it's a one time, every twenty four
hour medication. It's not a medication that you you know, like how you've
broken you take every four to six hours. Now this you take this once
every twenty four hours. It's a powerful narcotic, is what you're saying.
And it can suppress your respiratory system. But ketamine is Ketamine is not you
and I have talked about this, doctor Hubert, Yeah, many, many
times about the side effects of ketamine, and that ain't one of them.
Well, honestly, you know, ketamine can be psychologically addictive, you know,
when it starts improving your life. A lot of my patients, you
know, are like, hey, you know, what if what if I
need this later and I go, well, then you come back to the
office and we say down and we talk about it. We don't just re
right script after script after script. And that's you know that if they're doing
that, if his physicians have done that, then there is some issues that
need to be addressed with those those practitioners, and that that's you know,
the state health department that they're in need to address that. That's not that's
above my case help. But it definitely is a scary thing. I mean,
you know, blaming this on a medication that has been researched Back in
the nineteen seventies, Russia did amazing research on psychotropic use Academy, so of
the Iranians until the whole shop and you know, that issue in nineteen seventy
four took place, and then we started duplicating that research. You know what
what four or five years ago, maybe even six years ago at you know,
Yale and Johns Hopkins and m I T in those places like that Kennemy
showing that it is so effective, you know, for example, you know
depression, it has about an eighty efficacy rate and you know there's tons of
data out there. Unfortunately, because it's not FDA approved for that, people
quickly jump on it, as you know, the stategoat. Yet in you
know, just a few years ago, we approved s ketemine, which is
a nasal version of ketamine that spray can actually fix or deal with improve depression
symptoms. So we do know that it's good enough that the FDA has actually
approved a version of it for psychotropia. So I mean, do you think
Joe, doctor Hubert, And again I don't want to entangle you in any
legal issues here, but maybe the doctor who announced the cause of death finally
in Matthew Perry's fatality and listing over exposure to ketamine as the primary cause.
Do you think that maybe that doctor is covering his or some other doctors but
by prescribes having these other drugs that were in Matthew Perry's system. Or is
there a concerted effort among some because of ketamine's effectiveness, uh to make it,
make it the scapegoade to outlaw it. I you know, I think
I think the second is probably more likely. The third thing that's not being
mentioned here is that the majority of medical schools in this country are are controlled,
that's not outright owned by big pharma. And this is a medication that
is way out of its patent years. Uh, it is basically in the
public domain as far as that's concerned. No, no one pharmacy you know,
owns the rights to it, and it's making lots of money out of
it. So what's happening is that, you know, they want to sell
their new you know, new fangled medications where they make lots of money.
And my friends, my peers who've recently come through medical school, my past
students who've gone through medical school, you know, I've got long conversations with
many of them talking about you know, ketymine. What what I know and
what the research shows on ketamine is not what they were taught in medical school
about ketemine. So there's there's lots of contradictions. And again, it needs
to be a higher power than me. But I just want people to to
think about the potential behind all of this, the fact that it is very
effective and is growing in popularity because it is helping people deal with their psychotropic
issues much more effectively than most normal psychotropic drugs. And I know, you
know, my patients come to me, they pride everything else, and I'm
still having you know, eighty to ninety percent effectiveness rates where nothing else worked
for them before. Yeah, they did the studies. They did the studies
in the VA with ketymine and PTSD and they had similar results doctor, like
you know, in an eighty percent of effectivity in relieving the symptoms of post
traumatic stress disorder because of ketemine. But once and for all, ketamine in
and of itself does not and would not suppress respiratory function the way propofol would,
or the way these other drugs that Matthew Perry was on or fentanyl does,
I e. George Floyd, I mean, ketamine does not do that.
It's not one of the side effects of the use of ketamine. Correct.
Correct, And in fact, you know, if we go all the
way back to Michael Jackson, you know his doctor had given him propofol to
help him sleep because nothing else was working. And you know, now a
lot of my emergency room doctors tell me that the standard of care is not
propofol but what they call keta probe. It's a it's a combination of ketamine
and propofol because you don't have to have a higher rates of propofol for it
to work and be effective. And again, ketymine helps control that respiratory issue
going in there. So I think I think we have a lot of questions
that need to be answered from from this autosity report, you know, and
once the full report becomes available to the public, if it ever does,
Uh, it would be really nice to sit down with with with a group
of professionals who are truly experts, you know, like like we said before.
You know, I've done the research, and I do the psychology side
of things, and you know, CEO of consider Dot Clinic and worked with
hundreds of physicians nationwide, communicated with doctors around the world on the use of
ketymine for psychotropic use, and you know, none of us have ever experienced
anything like this. Now, I will say, when you start mixing Christians
and maybe one doctor doesn't know the other doctors prescribing different things. And my
my concern is that you know the medications that you know, especially when when
the medication that ukronophone and whatever, yeah, that we're talking about, that
medication is only prescribed a day at a time. Maybe he got some of
this medication not so legally right, And well I'm just docularly so sadly our
time is up, but I just want to wish you and yours a very
merry Christmas and you are once again amazing. This is the nightcap on seven
hundred WLW News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred w l W Cincinnati.
Big traffic problems on I seventy five in northern Kentucky. This is the nine
thirty report. I'm Matt Reeese breaking now a deadly crash on seventy five North
near Richwood tonight. It's been jamming up traffic since about seven o'clock this evening,
right after the heart of rush hour. Couple of vehicles involved, we
understand, but no other details have been released. We only know that I
seventy five is shut down in the Richwood area, and the backup is all
the way to Walton on seventy five and sizable backup on northbound seventy one,
and that backup is all the way to Verona Mudlick Road, that is that
exit. So unfortunately, traffic has been sitting for a couple of hours and
may well be sitting for a much longer time now as we wait for that
accident to be cleared on northbound seventy five in Richwood. If you're on the
road across Ohio, tonight State Department of Transportation treating the roads after snow and
much colder temperatures today, featuring snow squalls here in the Sins area, some
blinding snow at times, and of course that can make the road slick.
Drivers should be extra alert tonight. Still have some of those snow squalls out
there that can quickly change visibility and cope the roadways and create some slick spots,
especially all those bridges and overpasses with the cold air underneath, they tend
to freeze first, and that's really where drivers need to be extra attentive tonight.
That's Matt Bruning with the Ohio Department of Transportation parts of northeast Ohio,
the Cleveland area under a winter storm morning or a winter weather advisory here in
the Tri State not seeing anything but a few more flurries tonight, and that's
probably going to be the case through the overnight hours. Traffic and weather together
now and no other big traffic problems in the Cincinnati area now other than on
North Pound seventy five in Richwood. Now the latest forecast from the Train Heating
and Cooling Weather Center on news Radio seven hundred WL in the Tri State,
weather for tonight. We're going to a gradual clearing. A few snow showers
early, but will be clear by the morning in a lower twenty two.
The problem is is the cold. It's gonna feel like the teens are single
digits our Tuesday, then sunshine and we continue cold. A high of just
thirty five fair at night and we're down to twenty three. From your severe
Weather station, I'm nine First Warning Chief Meteorologist Steve Rawley, News Radio seven
hundred WL double temperature twenty eight degrees in Cincinnati. Got a few snow showers
in the eastern suburbs, otherwise pretty much clear on radar. I've been following
a shooting in Covington tonight. Happened around sixth and bake Well. Covington police
just announcing that a man was shot in the foot. They do not believe
there is any danger to the public, and there's no indication yet from police
whether they have a suspect in custody or not. There is a new president
of the Cincinnati Police Union. He is Ken Cober, who succeeds Dan Hills,
the head of the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police. A deputy with the
Proble County sheriff's department is dead after a wreck on State Route five OZHO three
in West Alexandria. Earlier today, He's deputy Joshua Hamilton, was killed when
his cruiser struck another vehicle head on. Driver of that vehicle, thirty six
year old Michael Gayheart of wes Elkton, was also killed in that collision.
Two weeks from today, it'll be twenty twenty four, and that means some
new laws will be taking event. The Social Media Parental Notification Act goes into
effect January fifteenth. This did get a bit of attention while under consideration by
lawmakers. It requires companies to get parental permission for those under sixteen who want
to use social media. A similar law in Arkansas was blocked by a federal
judge not long after Ohio passed its version. Utah has one as well,
but that doesn't start until the spring. Also, Ohio's minimum wage goes up
January first, thirty five cents more per hour for untipped workers twenty cents more
per hour for tipped employees. In addition, Ohio lawmakers will still be working
on changes and clarifications to the marijuana legalization law in the new year, I'm

it's deeply it is the nightcap on this Monday evening, December eighteenth, twenty
twenty three, yet exactly one week until Christmas, and there are still people
who are desperately caught in gulags in places like Washington, d c. On
federal charges for their participation in what some have called an insurrection, the worst
thing since the Civil War. And they throw out all of these you know,
expletives, you know, at these people and all these absolutes that these
were people trying to take down the government and all of the rest of the
things. And here we are a week before Christmas, and we're almost gosh,
we're almost three years away from January sixth, twenty twenty one. To
talk to us about these poor people. As we approach Christmas still locked in
this legal hell is January sixth, attorney, Patriot Freedom Project board member and
a beloved previous guest back with us, Ed Martin. How you doing,
Ed, I'm great here, Jeff. Thank you for having me on.
Thanks for a chance on down the stretch. It's not always the you know,
sometimes this time here people want to talk about easier subject. This is
in some ways this is not a very hopeful and a positive subject. The
prisoners, as you mentioned. On the other hand, we believe in the
goodness of the Lord and there's a lot coming, so we're we're more hopeful.
But thank you for the chance to talk. Well, you know,
well, as I mentioned, Patriot Freedom Project board member. For people who
are unaware, what does the Patreon freedom Patriot Freedom Project do, Ed,
Yeah, we thank you again, Patriot Freedom Project and you go. Patriot
Freedom Project dot com organizations started by one of the Day six family members when
she and her family were caught up in this, Cynthia Hughes, and over
the last and a half years we've raised money. We have helped a lot
of lawyers for the j six defendants based on the need. You know,
if you have money and family money or something. You know, you hire
on lawyers. But a lot of the folks, especially the ones that are
stuck in jail, are ones that needed some help. But the other thing
that Cynthia Hughes early on had the idea to do was transition a little bit
our focus help the families. You know, most of the people stuck in
jail, Gary, Jeff, you know this is I'm going to sound a
little bit like maybe a bleeding heart, but their work. Since if you
had money, you could get your way out, getting employer and fight your
way out. A lot of the folks that are stuck in jail are working
folks, you know, and their families are are are missing Christmas if folks
like the Patriot Freedom Project dot Com don't step up and provide and gift cards
and sometimes buy meals. Although we also do things like one of the kids
on the Jay six have beendant of prisoner. One of those things needed a
bad infection, and so we do that. Patriot Freedom Product a nonprofit.
It's focused on helping the families and these defendants. And there's you know,
look, there's been over a thousand arrests, but the Department of Justice and
the prosecutors announce they're going to arrest one thousand more. They're particularly rushing to
arrest them by the election next year. They want to make it part of
the election meritive. But I care about that. I think it's terrible.
We'll talk about it, but most care about every couple of days we get
a phone call from a new family that's got dad being taken away to prison
with uncertainty in the future. So we have to keep doing the right things
for we the people, and I think we're doing that at the Patriot Freedom
Project. What is section fifteen to twelve D two And most of these January
sixth defendants, the ones that are in long term confinement or face the most
serious charges, are charged first with section fifteen twelve C two. Yeah,
well, look, this is it's so important, and the UTH Supreme Court
just agreed last week to take this question up to the Supreme Court. Whether
fifteen twelve that's how I referred to A fifteen twelve, whether it's been misapplied
and misused again with citizens. But you know, very we started the program,
you mentioned how they have tried. The media and the left and even
some on the Republicans side have tried to call January sixth and insurrection all this
stuff. One of the ways they did that legally was to use fifteen twelve.
Fifteen twelve is the fallon and it's a faunty with up to twenty years
in jail. Many many of the prisoners were charged with trespass, which is
a misdemeanor. Vandalism a misdemeanor, maybe another miss and then this Telly and
when you and then the court said, oh my gosh, these are dangerous.
Perhaps sellings will have to hold them. It was used as a weapon
against the systems in a way that had never been charged for it. By
the way, Trump discharged with it. But back to fifteen twelve. It
was designed after Infron twenty years ago. It was designed to be about evidence
and whether the integrity of evidence was manipulated in a process. It was not
meant to criminalize lobbying or even advocating or whatever you call what happened in the
Capitol. There was no way this law was written that way. And so
people are like, wait, why are you doing this? And when you
look at it closely, you realize fifteen twelve has been used to sort of
broaden the prosecutor's power to put the hammer down on people. And so the
Supreme Court took this up and they're going to and there hopefully in the next
two months handle it. And probably two thirds of all the January sixth cases
hang on this fifteen twelve provision, and so a lot is going to be
decided, and we have a lot of optimism that of court it's going to
look at it and say these people are bullies and even applied to the law
and they and they did something nasty and you know, Gary Jeff, but
the one thing I keep telling people in these interviews is that I care to
get it reversed and using the law and the fact that the judges in DC
didn't stop it, and if the prosecutors contt it isn't outraged. So there's
a lot of attention finally on this, and we're optimistic. It sounds a
lot to me ed that the people who are applying and charging these people with
Section fifteen twelve are actually violating Section fifteen twelve by manipulating the evidence. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, you're you're not far off. But let me tell
you, you know, and Gary Jeff, you know, I you know,
we do talk for a living. People say, well, you guys,
you know, come up with things and keep talking. But other way,
as I say this, this is not a conspiracy. The guy who
came up with this, this broadening of this loose law twenty years ago is
a guy named Andrew Reisman, who then became a lieutenant on the Moller investigation.
And I'm the Moull investigation Archie Tamueller used fifteen twelve. Use fifteen twelve
against Trump because it's so broad. It basically says, obstruction of an official
proceeding means anything that you think is an official proceeding. And then anything that
I think is obstruction, we'll call it that and we'll charge with the twenty
year felony. Well, Andrew Weisman and then his acolytes are the ones who
are doing this to the citizens. So this is a I used the law
kind of a by way. He was under George w So I'm not this
is government government dominating with the people. Is happening far too much. Yeah,
I agree with you, and you know what, to be honest with
you, I don't understand why they didn't charge Congressman Bowman Jamal Bowman with obstruction
of official proceedings, because that's exactly what he did when he knowingly pulled that
fire alarm to prevent a vote on the hill. Ed Martin, thank you
very much. If people want to find out more about the Patriot Freedom Project,
where would they go? Yeah? Yeah, Patriot Freedom Project dot com.
And there's a special button for our Christmas drive. We love that people
support us and it has done a year. Prayer is powerful, So keeping
prisoners, especially their family and their kids in your prayers this time, and
thank you as always, carry Jeff for the chance. It's all you bet.
Ed Martin with us tonight in the nightcap, next we'll switch gears.
The wild Man returns. Meanwhile, in the enchented forest, Goldielots walks into
a house, Hello anyone here, and decides to enjoy an afternoon of listening
to Eddie and Rocket. Those guys are funny. Here is incredible guests,
amazing news and lots of lucks. The funny Poppy, careful, Todi loots
Pears live in that house. Oh they're harmless. All they do is talk
about toilet paper, toilet papers. Yeah, they're really weird. Bears,
Edie and Rocky give your day a fairy Tale and Eddie and Rocky tomorrow afternoon
on seven WLW, It's the wild Man Dennis wild Man Walker joining us again
on a Monday night on seven hundred WLW wild Man. The Bengals are still
in it. If we could only, if we could only have gotten the
Bills to lose last night, But they kind of look like they're a team
of destiny. Do you think that the Bengals may become a team of destiny
down the stretch here? After all of the doubts and after all of the
hand ringing, and after all of the injuries, do you think they really
have a shot to just win out and be there? What would you look
the next three games? They definitely have a shot to win out. And
the way they won that game against Minnesota, I mean, I'm sure a
lot of people had left the building. Here. Here's here's the deal here.
I was in the car whole time listened to the game because I had
a game at Indian Hill I had to announce. So when I got in
the car, they were down seventeen seventeen to three, and I heard got
one touchdown as I was driving home. And then they can get read of
the score. The other touchdown the time again, I couldn't leave the car.
I figured, mother off the car, Gary, I would jae them.
So I stayed in the car the whole time and listen to it on
seven hundred WW and sure enough they come back and you know, beat the
Vikings and overtime. Maybe that crazy catch and touchdown by t Higgins and then
that that passed the Todler boyd when there was like three guys right in front
of him and it gets some ball goes right in the toddler boy's hands and
he runs forty something yards and sets up the field go by McPherson. I
mean that they could be definitely a team of detatement. The football gods right
now are liking the Bengals. Well, Pittsburgh is seemingly cannot stop the run.
The Pittsburgh Steelers cannot stop the run and really have not proved that they
can run the ball effectively. And we're playing against the weir the are playing
against the Steelers on Saturday and in Pittsburgh and any other time of the year.
The Pittsburgh game is always tough. I mean, let's face it,
Bengals, Steelers, anything within the division is always tough. It's kind of
like zader Uc you never know, You just never know. Well, here's
the thing what I want to find out about this game against the Steelers coming
up Saturday. I just have a really and feelings aren't facts, but I
have a really strong feeling that the Bengals are going to go into Pittsburgh and
they're going to take care of business. And then you know, after that,
my Kansas City Chiefs, who looked anything nothing like a championship a Super
Bowl championship team again this past weekend. The Bengals playing the Chiefs after that,
and the Chiefs are not the Chiefs that we knew from last year,
seasons before, and they can go into Kansas City and win that game,
and then they face off against the Browns, and that that's the game that
really concerns me. I mean, you gotta win, you gotta win each
one of them. But the Browns are so strong on defense. I mean,
my god, well what do you what are your thoughts? Okay,
Kate Browning, he didn't really come out and to say it, but he's
gonna be looking for payback come Saturday afternoon because when he played against that Steelers
being thrown in there he didn't play well, even admitted that after the game
on Saturday. So I don't browning them to be really fired up to pay
back the Steelers. The Steelers overall have just stunk it up. And they
do have a decent running game, but for quarterbacks they both stink. I
don't know they're gonna use for Bussy or Mason or somebody out of the stands.
The Bengals run attack has been great as of late. I don't look,
I don't see the Bengals losing this game. I mean, they're gonna
so fired up to pay those Steelers back. And then they, like you
said, they live on to Kansas City, who have set the world on
the fire after the Browns. The Browns might be in the situation and Gary
Jeff and they come here, they've already clinched the birth and the playoffs,
and they may be resting with a bunch of guys and the matter whether they
win, win or lose. Let's keep the focus here. Let's beat the
Steelers. Let's beat the Steelers on Saturday. We'll worry about the city and
the Browns from you know, down down the road. Yeah, yeah,
you're right. It's one game at a time because they don't play five at
a time, but it's one game at a time. I love Jake Browning's
demeanor in press conferences, uh you know, in postgame interviews. He just
seems so unaffected by it all, you know, And and he has that
same kind of reaction that Burrow does to situations where other quarterbacks have and Mike
Pan and even with people in his face, he doesn't seem to really be
affected by it. He just plays the game and he has that kind of
Joe cool kind of demeanor, don't you agree? Absolutely? And I think
a lot of it has to be it has to do with being around Joe
Burrow and learning from what Joe has done so far. But Joe in his
ear, you know, telling you know, look for this, look for
that, you know, just you know, take it, you take it

a great this is the way this is working out here. Gary, Jeb,
this could be this would be a movie. The Bengal's gonna end up
gonna win the whole thing. But I don't want to go that far right
now. I told you I'm start the ben still had a chance. They
were still alive, and they're very much alive for a chance they make the
playoffs. I thought when when went down, that was it. I really
did, and I said so, And I am so so embarrassed for jumping
the gun. So we're not going to jump the gun the other way.

copies in your car. Look for a wild Man listening to the Bengals game
inside of his car. He'll probably have copies of book The Wild So you
kidding always with me, right, So if you see wild Man in his
car listening to a Bengals game, knock on the window and buy a book

there today. Cheryl Chumley joins us for a few minutes tonight. Cheryl,
how are you? I am great. Thank you so much for having me.
It's such an honor to be with you. And Merry Christmas. She
will Merry Christmas to you as well. First and foremost, maybe it's time
to redefine what a conservative is, a true conservative and a true liberal,
because there are a lot of people on the left who call themselves or are
referred to as liberals, and I don't consider them to be liberal at all.
And there are people who fly under the moniker of being conservative, and
when I look at the things they do versus the things they say, and
how they act, and who they ally themselves with. I don't think they're
very conservative classically at all. Do you agree with me? I do.
And that's very interesting what you say, because if you have to sum up
right, what liberals are, certainly the Democrat Party has grown much more communists.
They're barely they're barely old timey conservative principles. It's much more globalist in
vision, which is why we have so much of China, you know,
being allowed to exert its influence both of the culture and economy in America.
So it is very distressing to see that the star division between the Democrat Party
and Republican Party where liberals and conservativism, that those lines are being blurred,
and what we're seeing takes place in both parties on both political ideologies more and
more is much more anti American. However you look at it, yeah,
yeah, And I think that's the best way to describe it, or to
define it, is anti American, anti what the founding fathers had in mind
for this country, anti what the Constitution calls for from a federal government.
And you know, the people like Ronald Reagan who talked about, you know,
less government and smaller government and the people who have done that through the
years, to a certain extent, they did actually try to achieve those things.
And Donald Trump another excellent example with you know, all the elimination of
regulations, but yet the government just kept growing bigger as a result of the
fact that you know that it's tough to get in even if you're in the
belly of the beast. It's tough to turn that beast around, especially with
the years of large s and actually flying in the face and being anti American
at its core. I think that the people are confused about what the federal
government or government in general's role is supposed to be in our daily lives,
and it's actually supposed to be very minimal. But more and more we see
that that's not the case. And you make a good point about how tough
it is to turn the government around. Right once that train has taken off
by the station, you can't stop it and turn it back. And for
instance, look at what happened with the attacks on our World Rade Center,
and out of that rapidly came the Patriot Act. And within that Patriot Act
came the power of government or deep state intelligence to surveil American citizens if need
be, and to go get warrants for those surveillance in a court called the
Finds a court which is a secret of court. And now we have those
powers grown so far beyond the scope of what they were intended to be,
which is just to root out terrorism and save America from another September eleventh,
to the point where we don't even know what's going on in terms of our
intel any longer. And then you look at Congress, right and they have
the ability right now, or they did, to reel back the FISA course
and defund Section seven oh two and take back some of those powers, and
they fail to do it. So when you talk about how difficult it is
once government seizes a liberty or a power, it's very difficult to take that
power back and put it at the hands of the people, I would say
it's impossible. And that's part of the problem that we're facing. Our government
has grown so big, you know, we're just fighting to keep it from
growing more, never mind waving back what we've already lost. Cheryl Sumley is
our guest tonight on the Night Camp, and Cheryl, I wanted to ask
you in regards to the chance to reel back the powers of PISA when we
saw the abuses of PHISA during the Trump Russian collusion hoax. What prevented these
so called conservative Republicans from voting to do that, Well, I think they're
a hatred of Donald Trump. Right. There's a problem that I've noticed in
the Republican Party for some years now. Okay, they automatically fall in favor
on the side of police, on national security, on even intelligence. And
if you look at over the years where we've had Black Lives Matter and stand
down, hands up, stand down, that kind of thing, and you've
had defund the police movements, the Conservatives have said factically stood on the side
of police and national security and citizens safety. Rightly so, but they've gone
so far that they've failed to address problems within policing or the problems with national
security and so forth, because they don't want to be that conservative voice that
is aligned with such a racial group as Black Lives Matter or given the police
or something like that. So part of problem is that Republicans in office don't
want to make that step to reel back any type of provision that seems to
broad national security for Americans because they're thinking of their campaigns right to think of
their next run for of their seed and how their opponent might paint their votes
on reeling back those powers. Then they'll be painted, they'll be characterized as
an anti American Democrat outlining type of Republicans. So I think that's part of
the problem with speed well, and you highlight that, and I think that's
absolutely dead on the money, Cheryl. But the other thing that it should
point out to all of us who believe that the Constitution is the law of
the land, the rule of law on this country, and should be and
should be strictly adhered to, is that the Constitution when it was when it
was written and then approved, call for citizen lawmakers. And we have professional
politicians right and left. And I don't know that term limits is the way
to solve that problem. But I mean, if we could just get back
to what the Constitution calls for, which meant that someone would come out of
their farm field representing the place where they lived, and serve for a couple
of years or four years, and then they'd go back home to their business.
The banker, the lawyer, the cop, any of those people,
even the homemaker would you know, would say you know, this is my
civic duty to serve. I'm going to get elected and I'm going to go
and represent, you know, the bosom of my existence in my community.
And then I'm going to come back home and continue to live my life.
When there's very few out there that do that. I mean, how do
we solve that problem? How do we bring back the citizen lawmaker in this
country? That's really a matter of morality, right because founding fathers warned us
that our nation could only remain limited government in scope if the people of the
nation were moral and virtuous. Because it's not the morals who need big government
to tell them how to act and to force them to behave in certain ways
that are acceptable and orderly to society. It's the immoral, it's criminal,
the thug and so forth. And so the problem with a government that doesn't
know its boundaries, its moral boundaries and what should be rightly it's political boundaries
that it's a part time jump to serve in office, and more than that,
it's an honor and it's a position of humble surface, not tyrannical dictate.
But the problem with returning our nation to that type of government system is
that we have to address the morality first, because so long as we have
people in this country that are turning away from God, turning away from church,
mocking biblical principles, denying the facts of our founding, that we were
founded on a concept of quests for religious freedom and then ideal of individualism rooted
in rights coming from God and liberties from us. Until we get back to
that, then our political system is just going to be a reflection of a
culture and society which is all about me, me, me, grab the
power, grab what I can get most in first and best, and politicians
in the day and age are just granted a free lane in getting special entitlements
that the rest of us can't. You talked about individual liberty, and you
know, versus the group, the collective, which is communism, It's Marxism,
socialism, whatever you want to call it. It's evil. Collectivism is
individualism is what this country was based on and what it's supposed to be all
about individual liberties of each individual person, each individual citizen. When you when
you talk about that though, and you talk about are rights given to us
by God? Are an alienable rights given to us by God? And they're
supposed to those God given rights are supposed to be protected by the government,
so you know they're not they're not infringed upon individual rights. Uh that we're
talking about over group rights, because group rights are the things that have been
given by the government. You know that the the special set asides for certain
certain individuals, certain people, special people, those rights have been given by
the government. And the thing that people need to understand Cheryl, and I
hope you'll agree with me, is if the government gives you rights, they
can also take them away. But if God gave you the rights the government,
no one can take those away and the government needs to defend and protect
those Well, that's absolutely right, and that's why we're facing such a problem
right now, because the government has reached a point where they are given free
reign on deciding who gets the rights versus who does not get the rights.
And that's why you have so much lobbying going on at Capitol Hill, because
there's a big scramble to be recognized for the rights to receive taxpayer dollars versus
the rights to receive special interest measures and genders and the rest of us in
America, the hard working Americans in America are basically put at the jeopardy of
politicians and Capitol Hill now to determine whether we have the right to self determine
whether we have the right to make a living for ourselves, or we have
a right to worship freely. And I'm referring back to the coronavirus years because
that's how quickly we lost all those rights that are supposed to be in this
country. God didn't, but we came to a point in a very quick
overnight period of time where with the government telling us whether we could go to
work or not, go to church and go to school. So this is
the state of peril that America faces. And I'm telling you that the only
way to get back to a time in America where we have individual rights again,
the only savior for America is God, and that means Americans must turn
back to biblical truths, go to church, train your children in a proper
way to go. So government naturally is a little bit fearful of the people.
It doesn't take such you know, joy and needs in exerting its will
right on. And also the freedom of speech issue, and you mentioned the
coronavirus years, which you know we could be write down knee deep in him
again, if the powers it be so decided that we were just getting a
little too uppity with our liberty again, I think that freedom of speech was
limited to what the government approved narrative was. That's strictly Soviet style government.
And it happened in America, and it's still happening to a certain extent.
But there are some rays of light in substack. Last week week you wrote
about Alex Jones from Info Wars being reinstated to X by Elon Musk, and
you call it a major victory for free speech. A lot of people find
Alex Jones reprehensible. They find his statements and some of the things that he
said and done repugnant, and I can understand that. But there's a big
difference between the things that Alex Jones may say that you find offensive and then
defending speech on a campus like Harvard that calls for the mass extinction of a
whole group of people. That's not freedom of speech, is it. You
know, there's a big difference between Alex Jones and what's taking place on taxpayer
funded college campuses under the watchful eyes of the administrators, who at the same
time prohibit conservatives say from going there to speak. So on college campuses,
let's just deal that first, because that has a few more issues to it.
On college campuses, you have in place a system that's largely in many
cases tax paid. Right, So now we're talking about the entire nation having
an interest in what goes rolled on that college campus and in other instances where
it's private. But the idea that a college administrator or a group of students
on college can decide and determine who's allowed to speak there versus who needs to
be shouted down and driven off campus practically, bricks and sticks is abhorrent,
very anti American, and very anti college because college campus are supposed to be
the place where you go to learn, and not just learn book learning,
but also how to deal with dissenting opinions in regular life. And the both
Palestinian protesters are calling for the eradication of entire nation of people and their countries.
But that's a little bit different than having, say Charlie Kirk go and
talk about conservative principles. And now when you're talking about Alex Jones has hump
him really quickly if you don't like what he has to say. So look,
you know what it's too bad, don't listen to him. That's called
freedom that in a free society, speech is protected for the offensive speech.
We don't need protections from nice speech that says nothing. That's how politicians speak,
right, they talk on both sides of their mouths and say nothing.
It's a skill, it's a political skill. But you don't need protection for
that because it makes people feel good. It's Alex Jones's type of speech that
raises what's called conspiracy theories, which isn't you know in some people's worldviews,
that's a questioning attitude, not a conspiracy theory. See, it's that type
of speech that the founders in visions needful of protection. And that's what they
were talking about when they brought us the First Amendment real quick in our last
minute. Cheryl Chimley is our guest, your prediction, get out your crystal
ball if you have one, Cheryl, If you don't, just think real
hard about it, and you know what's happened in the past going forward.
Do you think that they will be successful and they being the deep state in
putting Donald Trump in jail before the election. No, no, I don't,
but that is what they based their election successes on Jack Smith is on
a fast track schedule to get Donald Trump convicted in March or before the elections.
So that's how democratsy campaigned because I have nothing else at this point exactly.
Cheryl Chimley, thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you. God's
blessings upon you and your family, and thanks for joining us again. Thank

It gives some truth to give some light to the subject of climate change and
CEO two and all the rest. This is not the information you're going to
get from a UN climate panel, to say the Lady Store or John Carrier
al Gore. This is actual data and it does not support a lot of
the crazy claims that have been made and presented as scientific fact by the green
side. Joining us once again is the guy who a geologist and also head
of the CO two coalition in Washington, d C. Author of The Inconvenient
Truth and now a very Convenient Warming. Please welcome back Gregory Ryan wright Stone,
who is breathing and expelling CO two just like I am, Greg wright
Stone. That's how are you, sir? Oh good? And that you
know you're every time you exhale, you're breathing out about forty thousand parts per
milli Yet and of course the current ambient CO two is about four hundred parts
per million, and so that forty thousand were breathing out is actually adding huge
benefits by helping to increase the CO two levels and then increasing corrupt growth.
But of course, but of course the other side, Greg is always saying
that we've got to we've got to limit CO two, we've got to cap
that stuff. There are places in Europe where the cows have big bags on
their back ends to trap the CO two or trap the methane so they can
sell it to somebody else. But they think they're doing the environment good by
doing that, and maybe not so much. And of course the same people
came out and admitted that our breathing is actually contributing greatly to the Earth's carbon
footprint. But as you say, and as a fact, back you up,
as the science backed you up. The real science more CO two is
a darn good thing. Yeah, And that's really the just the overall theme
of my new book. It's called a Very Convenient Warming, How modest warming
and more CEO two are benefiting humanity And boy, just about by every emetric
we look at, Earth's ecosystems are thriving and prospering, and humanity is benefiting
from that. And it's it's just this huge, huge positive message. It's
just not a message, it's relaying the facts of what's really out there.
And it's I call it the greatest untold story of the twenty first century,
that of a thriving Earth and a thriving humanity. And the last time we
talked, We've talked a lot over the last several years now. I was
always pushing this mantra of the there isn't a climate crisis. That's true,
there isn't. But we've gone now well past that. From there is no
climate crisis to oil boy, Earth, Your Earth is thriving and prospering,
and it's because of warming and more CO two. The greatest, most obvious
aspect of that is the greening of the earth, in the increase in the
in agricultural productivity. Boy, we're just breaking records year after year. In
the book, as you've seen, I capture the eight greatest crops grown on
Earth in terms of timeage produced, and all eight of those are just it.
This goes back to nineteen sixty, just breaking records year after year after
year after year. And it has to the three main things driving crop production.
It's more higher temperatures, warming temperatures, more CO two driving CO two
fertilization and more photosynthesis. And three increased use of nitrogen fertilizers. And these
nitrogen. Fertilizers are created from fossil fuels mainly natural gas. So all of
these things working in tandem to increase food production that's outstripping the food production is
outstripping population growth in the world. And again that's something that should be celebrated
and it should be the front page story on the New York Times that you
know it never will be well, No, Greg and you make a good
point about food distribution or food production outstripping the actual population. When we hear
about famine and people starving, it is always because of humans, but not
because of human's carbon output. It's because of radical governments that want to try
and starve people so they can reduce population and maintain greater control. I believe
that anyway. But it's not because of the car somebody's driving with fossil fuels
or the fact that they're using a gas powered stove or their lawn equipment.
The people are starving in this day and age when there's really no need for
it because of dictators and governments hoarding food and letting food spoil on docks and
stuff for their own political purposes. It's not because we're not producing enough to
feed the planet. Like you said, we've got more than enough food for
probably another two or three billion people if that's what happened, right, and
think about everything that the climate alarmis is that just tab traveled back from Dubai
and COP twenty eight. What are they pushing? What do they want us
to do? They want us to emit less CO two and reduce it,
which again would hurt crop production. There talks about actually doing keem trails and
blocking the sun by putting things in the aerosols in the atmosphere to block the
sunlight. What would that do? It would it would greatly diminish crop production.
Uh, so you're diminishing it by blocking the sun and decreasing CO two.
And Fourth, they wanted to eliminate nitrogen fertilizer, and we saw how
that went in Sri Lanka two and a half years ago when that country country's
president actually banned nitrogen fertilizer. He wanted to go green, he wanted to
go organic. What they did and their entire agriculture based economic system collapsed inside
of nine months. And because there is the food productivity just plummeted without nitrogen
fertilizer. Well, so that's what it's really an anti humane Yeah, what
the ultimate goal is to reduce population in general, it's not to it's not
to ensure the future for your children and your grandchildren. It's to make sure
theyre is no future for many of us. So that you know, Bill
Gates has been on record saying and he's always one of these people saying that
it's scientific consensus, which of course there is no thing that the Earth is
warming, and it's because of man made contributions. It's because of fossil fuels
and CO two. But he stated publicly years ago that he thinks that the
earth population should be about five hundred million. We need to get rid of
some people. It is anti human, and most folks don't see that.
Well, I think you can predict one. I'm going to say you go
first, out right, you know, you think there's too much, too
populations, too high, set an example, go ahead, you know,
if it's that important to you, But no, thanks, we don't.
We were able to feed a growing population and it's not growing exponentially. It's
expected to flatten here in the next decade or two. And if it doesn't
that we're still increasing our crop productivity without the other thing is one of the
in my new book, I show corrupt crop productivity, population growth, and
the number of acres planted has been basically flat. So we're not growing more
crops because we're adding farmland that's ringing basically flat. The other thing we see
is they talkt about deforestation, but no, what I find is reforestation and
forests have greatly expanded worldwide. There are a few places where there is deforestation
going on. But why is it being deforested because they're kind of mature forests
down into Carolina is to turn them into pulp and pellets to be shipped to
the United Kingdom, where it's called green energy. Being caught cut down in
Indonesia, the Philippines put up mono culture palm oil plants for biofuels. UH.
Forests, grasslands across the United States are being covered over and cut down
to put up solar And I'm not going to call them farms. They aren't
solar and wind industrial scale facilities. Using the word farm makes it sound too
benign. These are not. They're plight on the landscape. Uh, they're
horrible for endangered creatures. The wind turbines are an aerial quison art the butchers,
balt Eagles, Golden eagles, uh, and even condors in California.
These there there's a growing, growing effort across the United States to push back
on solar, these solar, industrial solar facilities, industrial scale wind turbine projects,
and we have to we have to just say no. And also huge
pushback now on CO two pipeline. You know what, they're trying to strip,
strip CO two out of the atmosphere and pipe it, uh and use
it to push put it underground. I mean, who put the idiots in
charge? I always wonder we did, I guess, uh, but uh,
but yeah, it's it is amazing. The things I wanted to ask
you about. The the bags on the back of cows that someone was referencing
they saw somewhere. I don't know if it's in England or but they're trying
to trap that gas that comes out of the the business end of the cow
and then sell it as fuel, which I guess is mostly methane. Have
you have you seen that or heard about that? No, well, I've
heard stories. I didn't think they'd actually gone to that much, but of
a of a route to do this. No methane is is just a minute.
It is greenhouse gas, but it contributes very little to the warming of
the planet. Uh CO two contributes very little. But methane is is a
fraction of that too. So now we shouldn't we shouldn't. Most of the
methane this produce is naturally occurring. So we think about all the millions of
buffalo that Romo states. They were emitting methane, and there were a lot
more buffalo than there are cattle right now, Yeah, I mean so,
yeah, cal flatulence is not contributing to the demise of the planet Earth.
A very Convenient Warming is the name of a new book by CO two head
Gregory Wrightstone. He is our guest for the next few minutes, and greg
let's talk about specifically this time of year, Christmas, across the United States
and the basics. What's the average high temperature for Christmas, say, over
the last almost close to two hundred years. I can tell you what that
is. It's forty two point five degrees fahrenheit. And that's from all the
eleven hundred plus stations across the lower forty eight of the United States. What's
interesting, I went as a little preemptive strike because I knew that Christmas.
They usually come out with some It'll be in the API or the Washington Post
or some other rag where they'll talk about how this is Christmas is warmer than
decades, the warmest Christmas, the warmest Christmas. It's always the warmest Christmas
on record or ever, right, And the records go back to in the
United States, go back to what the eighteen fifties or something like that.
Yeah, so you know, or scientists say, well, no, I
looked at the actual data and it's interesting. There are wild swings and temperatures
on Christmas Day ranging from fifty five degrees fahrenheit down to under twenty degrees fahrenheit
on Christmas Day, but there's no discernible trend either up or down. And
that's going back to eighteen ninety five. All the while CO two carbon dioxide
by man has been increasing and increasing the atmosphere, so no Christmas Day temperatures
have not been increasing. So someone tells you that, you go to the
CO two Twitter site through Twitter feed or CO two Coalition Facebook page to learn
to see that actual chart that I've got there. What was the climate like
some two thousand years ago when my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born in
that part of the world. Was what was the earth's climate like generally and
specifically there in Bethlehem for example. Well, he lived in a fortunate time.
It was the time of It was called the Roman Warm period the time
Christ and it was much warmer than temperatures today. We know that because,
for example, the Romans were growing citrus in the north of England near Hadrian's
Wall. Well, you can't do that today. We have other historical records
of all of the groves being much far of the north during that time and
during the time of Christ too. The Roman army, of course, it
marched on its belly and they got most of their green from North Africa.
You don't think of Tunisian and Egypt being a great producer of of of wheat,
but it was at the time of Christ, so it was much warmer.
Uh. Life was good unless you were an early quick Christian and you
were being persecuted or or nailed to across. But for the most part,
food was bountiful, and uh, you know, it was a time to
celebrate and it was. It was really when it started getting colder during the
decline of the Roman Empire. We know that there were Germanic tribes coming down
out of the north, a lot of the great civilizations, but primarily Roman
impart was the big one that declined as it started getting cold, and we
see that again. I captured an entire section in my book. I devote
to the Correlation's new book of Very Convenient Warming, to the correlation between human
history and temperature history, and find that warmer times were much much more beneficial
to humanity than we're cold. The Colbert periods were horrific, and I might
mention too. This book is not available on Amazon. It is only currently
available at the website, and the website is Convenientwarming dot com. That's Convenientwarming
dot com, or just google Convenient Warming and you'll get right to it.
It's been huge if you liked my first book and can be actually gonna love
this new one A Very Convenient Warming, Oh absolutely. And it's chock full
of data, that's the thing. And the data is I got been fully
researched. Go ahead, good yet, I got a phone call. This
smart really lifted me up from a huge He's bought probably one hundred and fifty
of my first book. He just hands about the people. He's this huge,
huge supporter. He called me out. He said, Greg, Greg,
you hit a home run. I just got the book, he said,
Man, he says, he said, I just this book. The
first one is good. This is much better. So if you like Inconvenient
Facts, and I know a lot of your listeners were supporters have gotten the
new one, you got to go get and tell me real quickly about the
things that the CO two Coalition is doing to help educate children. Just in
the last minute or so, tell us about what people can find at CO
two Coalition as far as teaching tools, the truth about climate and CO two
where do people go to floor name, Go to CO two Learning Center dot

books, videos, and lesson plans that we're developed by doctor Sharon Camp.
She's an ap retired AP science teacher. She's still an AP reader. She's
a real scientist and she's the one that created these lesson plans. You won't
find many teachers that actually have a science degree. Most of them have a

And let's continue to push the truth, Greg, instead of the indoctrination
and the manipulation of facts with bad data. You bet, Thank you so
much. Yeah, Merry Christmas to you, Greg Wrightstone with us on the
Nightcap. Much more ahead, including a special segment of American History on the
radio which directly relates to the radio here in Cincinnati, coming up on seven
utter WLW. Is there a special time you like to listen to Scott Sloane?
I listen at work because he's really cool and my job sucks. Oh,
I like the way you think. I listened during a really hot,
sudsy shower. Are you being serious? I listened to his podcast when I'm
in church. Are you allowed to do that? I like to listen when
I'm on the toilet? All right? I listened during our marriage counseling session.
I guess anytime is the right time for Sloany. That's what we've been
saying Scott's loan Toilmorrow morning at nine on seven hundred WLW, and check out
his podcast on the free iHeartRadio app this holiday season. Sweetest Prize is in

The Persuaders, the original The Thin Line Between Love and Hate, and I'm
playing this song as we introduced our next guest on American History on the radio,
because this is one of the first songs. As a kid growing up
in the suburbs of Chicago, I was of these kids that I listened to
WLS and the top forty Pops stations, but I was scanned the dial and
I found the black station, which I believe was WVOL, and they played
great tunes like this. I wasn't here on WLS, and so I've always
really appreciated the fact that for African Americans there was a distinct kind of broadcasting
that was theirs and theirs alone, and you could call it radio. Jim
Crow, I don't wish to destrive it that way. I think that different
strokes for different folks, as we like to say. And this man has
made a fifty plus year career of being a different stroker on the radio in
Cincinnati. And definitely, if I was going to include everybody that was essential
to radio listening audiences in this market over the last fifty years, if I
if I left him out, I would be doing a great disservice to the
listeners and to history. Lincoln, where joins us tonight for our special segment
on American history and the radio in the night Camp, Lincoln. It is
my honor to have you with us. Hey, Gary, Jeff Walker is
great to be with you. And I was wondering about that song A thin
line between eleven eight. I thought you were telling me there's a thin line
between love and hate between us. I didn't know. Well, you can
draw any inferences you want, Lincoln, but no, that was not specifically
directed. It was it was one of those songs I could have played the
moments love on a two way street. Oh yeah, you remember that.
That was great. I remember that one, and it's definitely remember that.
You know what the stylistics, the stylist stylistics even better, La la La
means I love you. That's that's actually the delphonics, and I don't mean
correct a legend mixed up the delphonic. They all sounded light, Yeah,
they do. So I want to find out about your path on the radio
here in Cincinnati. And it's more than five decades, which is just incredible.
You know. I have been fortunate enough to be at WLW. Now
in February, it'll be twenty seven years. I've been doing the Saturday morning
show and that is unheard of and very uncommon in our business, as you
know, but you have been on the radio consistently in this market for is
it fifty years? As a matter of fact, I was talking to Randy
Michaels the other day and he was talking about in nineteen seventy three when he
came into town. He was talking about how boring Cincinnati radio was until he
found fourteen eighty and I was doing a live broadcast over at the Alms Ballroom
and the broadcast didn't start to midnight, and man, we were really rocking
it up there, and he got so excited he came over to the Alms
Ballroom, but he was afraid to come in because he didn't know what they
would do to a white guy at twelve midnight over at the Arms Hotel there
called it was called the Arms Ballroom then it's now the Arms Apartments now right
there at the corner of Victory Parkway and McMillan. So this was a midnight
show you were doing from the ballroom where you just playing records? Did you
have live performances? What was going on? It was a live broadcast.
I was on the air in the afternoons then, but they would you know,
it would be a live broadcast from midnight until three, and the place
stayed open. They didn't sell liquor in there, but you know, people
would probably go back and forth to their car, but it was mainly you
know, people would come. They would have live bands there and all types
of things. But we had a lot of fun. And Randy Michaels that's
when he first heard me at the Alms Ballroom. Every time I say he
talks about he came into town and heard me on the end and he came
over there and parked, but he was afraid to come in. Let me
ask you this, Lincoln, where would Brandy Michaels, the young Randy Michaels
have been in trouble? Had he come to the arms ballroom. Now you
know him, he would have been okay. This was nineteen seventy three,
and I wasn't during the sixties riots or anything like that, so he would
have been okay. I think, and this is just my own personal opinion,
I think that there is a lot less, especially black white racism in
this country among most people than there has been maybe ever in this country.
I think there's a lot less of it than People are always talking about racism
and hate, and I just I don't see it. And I interact with
people of all skin colors and from all backgrounds as a bartender. And I'm
telling you just as a general rule, when people talk about the fauxmen it
hate, the increase in racism, I just don't see it. What about
you. It's still there. It's just not as uh covert as it you.
I mean, it was it was overt then now it's covert. Everybody's
keeping it under cover. But it's still there. Trust me, it's still
there. And it's even I've become more of an issue since Donald Trump was
president. I can tell you that. I know you don't want to hear
that stuff. You can blame that, blame Donald Trump. I did.
I did in talking to you, I did want to ask you about that.
And I think Joe Biden has been as divisive as Donald Trump ever could
have been. So I got my name, all right, So here we
go. Here we go. Two people that have since passed that you and
I both know and both talked to on the air numerous times. Just some
some ruminations and remembrances. Oh, let's start with the guy who was my
buddy for a while until Trump came along, and then he decided he didn't
like me anymore, who sadly has passed. Sensible Don Lewis the bus driver,
just your your thoughts, unsensible Don Well. I mean, he used
common sense in a lot of things, but he said to things that some
people just don't like to hear. And everybody thought he was a Republican.
He was right wing, and I don't know who he voted for. He
probably if he were alive, he probably wasn't he alive when Trump was president.
I'm trying to think, yes he was, and he would be the
guy who would vote for Donald Trump and would tell you he voted for Donald
Trump, and wouldn't make you know, wouldn't be afraid to tell you,
no, that's that's that is not true at all. Lincoln and I know
this personally because Don and I talked about it, and sadly this was the
divide between Don and I and we didn't speak for probably a couple of years
until his passing. He he absolutely hated Donald Trump, and it kind of
it kind of surprised me. I didn't have a problem with him hating Donald
Trump or not voting for him. Yeah, but because he knew I did,
he became just he turned on me like I can't even I can't even
tell you how he turned on you. Donald Trump was because because of my
support for Donald Trump, my voting for Donald Trump. He turned on me
like you wouldn't believe Glenn from Mason. And I'll give you my Glenn from
Mason point first, and then I'll let you react to it. Glenn from
Mason would if I said the sky was blue when it was obviously blue,
he would tell me it was green. He would do anything to take the
other side, just just for the fun of it. You want to talk
about somebody who could be very divisive, Glenn from Mason definitely had that ability
of being just boisterous and no matter what you said, if you were of
a certain ilk or a certain ideology, he was he was going to come
after you with everything he had and he would make some strong arguments, but
usually they were straw man arguments. So, so your thoughts on Glenn for
Mason and Law was one of my best callers of all time. He would
go down as the top one or two callers that I've ever had. Glenn
from Mason where you know, he stuck to his he did his research also.
He did his research and he could give you numbers and facts and things
like nobody else could. So, I mean, he knew what he was
talking about. He wasn't just you know, trying to go against you.
He had to fax the back back everything he said. He had to fax
to back it up. Well, yeah, I think he had half of
the facts that supported his clause and then and then you know, the other
half he kind of conveniently left out. I wanted to ask you about what
changes you've seen in Cincinnati radio in fifty plus years you've been doing it,
Linco and what had been the most impactful and just what do you see on
the landscape of being someone who has been on the air here for as long
as you have. Well, the major changes I've seen is well, i
mean, you know, the black stations. We still play black music,
we still play R and B, we play you know, the oldies and
all, you know, stuff like that. But I've watched the evolution of
seven hundred WLW back when they used to play music to talk. Now,
you know, I've seen that evolution. I've witnessed this, you know,
every day. You know, when Randy first started with some kind of thing,
Alan Gardner, Yeah, they sort of kicked off this top thing in
Cincinnati on seven hundred, and this thing has just grown now. And of
course you know you're the big ones. You're the fifty thousand watt flamethrower here,
and hey, what can I say? It has changed that way any
everything else music is pretty much state where it's been Q one two, Warm
ninety eight, GRR, State the thing, yeah, State the thing.
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean other other than the station's formats.
And you mentioned Randy Michaels, and you know that's interesting that he said he
was so excited to hear you on the radio in Cincinnati in nineteen seventy three
when he first came here. But Randy instrumental in changing wl W into the
big one. I mean, no one has contributed more to this station's success
over the last forty years than Randy Michaels and the people he brought in.
Eventually, like, Willie, tell me about your relationship with Bill Cunningham.
Uh, you know, people think we're enemies, and he's really a nice
guy. We talk all the time. Matter of fact, I think I
was supposed to be on the Stooge Report sometime this week. But you know,
I've been knowing him for years. I was on the radio before him.
I remember when he first came on the radio because you know, I
used to follow any type of talk segments that they had on radio in Cincinnati.
So I used to listen to Randy and Allen all the time. I
thought they were great. I used to love listening to them. So I've
been a talk show junkie since the beginning. But I got my start playing
music, you know, like most most good talk show hosts were former DJs.
Oh yeah, MC Mike McConnell, former DJ, Fingers, former DJ.
So they make the best talk show hosts. Well, thank you very
much for the compliment. You didn't even know you were giving me because I
started as a DJ in nineteen eighty and see, and you know didn't even
touch talk till nineteen ninety seven. Here, So tell me about that starting
radio for Lincoln. Where where was it and what were you doing? How
old were you? It was on an aircraft carrier called the USS Midwa.
I was always interested in radio, and lo and behold when I was stationed
on the Midway, they had a radio and a TV station. How about
they needed bodies to get on the radio, and you know, they was
looking for people to work. AFRTS was sort of like the network. We
would use the news from the American Vietnam Network and we would use their news
every hour. But I was just one of the DJs that played R and
B music on an aircraft carrier of about four thousand people. And that's really
where I started. So you were like Adrian Cronauer and good Morning Vietnam.
Yes, yes, well, only you weren't in country. You were on
an aircraft carrier, on an aircraft carrier, and I start my show with
Good Morning Cincinnati. I start my show like that every day. Oh that's
great, that's great. So when you got out of the service, then
what did you do. There was a guy on w ci IN by the
name of Jimmy Wonder. He had he worked at CION since he was a
teenager. He was like in the eleventh grade on the air going to Waldert
Hills High School. He would have an evening show at w c I N.
He had a great voice. He was a natural for radio. Anyway.
I had kept in contact with him while I was in the Marines,
and he told me he was leaving, going to a radio station up in
Dayton w DAO. Yep, he was gonna work for that station, he
says, So they're being opening here, you better get a tape together and
get it over here as quick as you can. So he left in March,
and I was discharged from the Marine Corps in March, so the timing
was perfect. I took my tape over to a guy by the name of
Bob Long who was the program director, and Sonny Burns, who was the
general manager, and I gave him my audition tape and the rest is history.
And that's how I met Jim Scott. Because back in those days,
you had to have your broadcast license from the ste if you're going to work
and the engineers were not at the station. Do you remember those days?
Oh, I had my third class FCC license so I could take transmitter readings.
In fact, the very first radio station I worked at was my FM
college station at Volunteer State Community College in Gallaton, Tennessee. This is in
nineteen seventy nine, and I not only had my license, but I had
to turn on the transmitter because I was there in the morning, so I
had to let that, I had to let the filaments warm up, and
you know, it was a long it was a process, man. But
yeah, with me, I had to study working after you know, I
was working afternoons and I was there. You know in the wintertime it gets
dark. You know, you'd have to switch the power from daytime signal to
the night signal. Yep, you know, we'd go from five thousand in
a day to five hundred at night. And so the engineer they'd be gone
by then. So I had to get that third class license with the broadcast
endorsement. And that's how I met Jim Jim Scott. He was worried.
He was saying, oh man, we got to take this test. I
gotta get my life. I said, I have to take the tests also,
So we talked a little bit and we both end up passing the tests
and we said, oh, we can keep our jobs. Now, tell
me about James Brown and your experiences with the Godfather of soul. He was
the man. He would come by every time he come to Cincinnati, w
c i A would be one of the first places he would stop with his
newest release in hand. You know, every time he come by there,
he'd always have a new record that was coming out and it would be a
hit. Of course it was James Brown, and he would always come by
and get in there. We talked to him on the air. He was
I mean, he was a really nice guy. I love James Brown.
He called me soul brother number two. Oh you were number two. I
was number two. Well, listen, I appreciate so much some time here
to be part of my segment. I'm Nightcap American History on the radio Lincoln

we have wonderful pr people out there who always are pitching guests who've got a
book or you know, a new column out or a new piece that they
want to get out to the American public in general. And we're one of
those conduits, one of many. And I saw this and I saw the
title Arab, like me an interest is Instantly my interest was pequked and I
started reading about the author. He was also the host of our American Stories.
He's a Newsweek columnist and he happens to be Arab. I mean,
he has that ethnicity in him. His name is Lee Habib and we welcome
into the show tonight. Lee. How are you doing. I'm great,
Thanks for having me on. So are you American born? I'm American born.
Grandfather came from Lebanon on the father's side, and other grandparents came from
Italy on my mom's side. Now, your grandfather came from Lebanon. The
Lebanese have a people always think of them as being a Muslim, but there's
a large Christian community. Was your grandfather a Christian or was he a Muslim?
Or he was a Christian, But folks in America always assumed I was
a Muslim. Not that there's anything wrong with that. No, And what's
interesting is there used to be a lot of Christians in Lebanon and there aren't
anymore. There used to be a lot of Christians all through the Middle East,
and there aren't anymore. Not only your Jews hated through out the Middle
East, but Christians are now pretty much universally disliked in the Middle East.
And the Middle East has turned into a ninety one percent Muslim part of the
world. Ninety one percent. And that's not it has not been that way
forever. You know. One of the things about attacking Iraq and the persecution,
prosecution and finally the death of Saddam Hussein and him being ousted from power.
When Saddam was in power, he was, from all I understand,
someone who was sympathetic and a friend to Christians in Iraq. Was that the
case? Well, I don't know that he was sympathetic to anybody per se.
What he was was hostile. What he was hostile to with the crazies.
And not that he was a good man, because he was a ruthless
man. But he kept Isis and the radical Ras, radical Islamists at Bay
and when that war started out game the Islamist out came Isis Boy, the
greatest victim aside from Muslims who were not seeking the craziness that ensued. Many
Muslims died recklessly and needlessly, but so many Christians were purged from the Middle
East as a result. It's still one of the great untold stories about religious
persecution, is what happened to Christians throughout the Middle East over the last twenty
years, all of the result of a vacuum of power that Saddam Hussein had
occupied before that time. That is exactly right. Lee Habib our guest Newsweek
calumnist and host of our American Stories, and this piece Arab, Like me,
what what was the inspiration? I guess a whole lifetime inspiration. But
why did you want to get this particular personal story out to people? Lee,
Well, because you know, being an Arab and having an Arab blessed
name has been an interesting life. You know, there's been a lot of
terrorism done under the name of Arabs Muslims. I mean, it's not Indonesian
Muslims blowing up the world. It's Middle Eastern Muslims, and a particular type
of Muslim, a super radical, lunatic, fringe Muslim. And so I'm
always sort of thrown into that group, and I never minded. For the
most part, I was always treated very well by white people. I was
always treated very beautifully by the country. My grandfather from Lebanon loved America.
Wept that the sound of God bless America or the flag. And what happened
for me in my personal life was in nineteen eighty three, I'm in college
and Lebanon is getting into a civil war and Israel's feeling afraid, and I
write a column, a simple column or some I don't even remember what it
was, but I simply defended Israel, and I defended America. I defended
the West, and I really went after the radical Muslims that had been unleashed
since the revolution in Iran in nineteen seventy nine. The mules, we're going
to mess up everything. And we now know they finance HESBLA and they finance
a moss. But in nineteen eighty three, it was just starting, and
if you remember, our marine barracks blew up and we lost more marines that
day than since Iwajima. And so I thought I was taking a very simple
stand that everyone in my college would agree with, which is that I stand
with America and I stand with Israel. I stand with freedom and the forces
for good. America is not perfect, but Americas should be there. Well,
my Arab friends instantly divorced me. How dare I side with Israel?
Now? I expected that because my Arab friends were rabid anti semis, and
the Arab world is filled with the very worst kind of antisemitism drilled into the
Arab culture through cartoons, literature, a book called The Protocols of the Elders
of Zion. You are taught in most Middle Eastern countries from K to twelve
that Jews are evil, that Jews are the devil that the and Jews have
money is because they've stolen from others, the usual anti Semitic tropes that led
to the programs of Russia and what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany.
So the Arab world is filled with that stuff. But what was more interesting
was how white people treated me, particularly the small group of radical progressors who
were starting to take over liberal arts departments in the Northeastern universities like Columbia,
the Ivy League, and my college fairly to Kinson University, which was a
stone throw from the Columbia campus, and some of that radicalism had seeped into
some of our young faculty and some of our white students. I got a
lecture from the white students explaining to me that how dare I be on the
side of Israel, that they're oppressors, and that I should be with the
oppressed because I'm an Arab, and that the Palestinians are the oppressed. They
have no power. Israel has the power. Lebanon's a little tiny country.
Israel is a powerhouse country. How could I be siding with the white people
from Israel and with white Americans. And this was my foray into the space
of dealing with at the time a nascent and a burgeoning oppressed oppressor mentality creeping
into the liberal arts departments and now that dominate the liberal arts departments. And
there I was being not only expelled from my Arab group like blacks kicked out
of the black group for being an uncle Tom. Actually, some some of
my ad friends called me an uncle Ahab because I was a trader. But
worse, the white progressors explaining to me that I was white even though I
have a very dark skin and in the summer, I'm darker than Barack Obama.
And they were telling you I was white because I thought white, and
I thought white because, well, my grandfather, the stake he made in
his life was coming to America and then trying to blend in with Americans and
become white and embrace capitalism and embrace individual rights and property rights and all the
things that my grandfather loved and I love. So now I was not only
in battle with my Arab friends, but with large, this small but growing
group of liberal arts students now who were the beginnings of what we now see
today forty years later as a mainstream faculty and large majorities of English major sociology,
anthropology, all the kids in the liberal arts departments being trained under this
oppressor mindset. And there's one simple book, a book called Wretched of the
Earth by Franz Banan, which was the hottest book on my campus and still
to this day, along with a guy named Michael Fuco. When you read
these two authors, you'll understand everything you need to know about the binary through
which the white progressives and all kinds of other progressives see the world. And
that is the powerful and the powerless, the colonial, the colonizers and the
colonized, the oppressors and the oppressed, and if you take the side of
the oppressor, you're good and virtuous depressed. And if you take the side
of the oppressor, you're bad and you're out. And so I experienced the
full wrath of that binary and come ten to seven when everybody was shocked,
and how the Arab world was reacting, and how the campus is reacting.
Not only wasn't I shocked, but the monsters marching on those campus were created
by the faculties of the United States of America K to twelve and beyond.
This is not some accident. This has been a work in progress for forty
years. And I was the first and earliest victim, way back in nineteen
eighty three when this stuff was just starting to take hold in undergraduate facilities.
It had been a graduate school preoccupation critical ray theory oppressed oppressor mindsets in the
sixties and seventies, and so it took those twenty years to go from the
grad schools to the undergraduate and that's from the undergraduate into the K twelve through
the schools of education, and then to sort of go unchecked with conservatives pretty
much. You know, we were asleep at the wheel and we sort of
let all of this happen, and when the few of us would talk about
it with friends, they go, oh, come on, come on,
what can they do? They're allowed, They're stupid. That's nonsense. And
the next thing, you know, that's our whole pretty much of our public
education system is teaching this rubbish and not teaching the things that matter most,
which is what is Western civilization and what is it done for the world.
I think that's staggering, I think to a great extent. Talking to Leejabi,
Newsweek columnist Arab like me, he says, and Lee, it is
this indoctrination that has been fomented over the last forty to fifty years on college
campuses, and it is all about anti westernism, it's all about anti capitalism,
all of these things, anti colonialism. But isn't it also the nature
And I remember being eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old, it's real easy,
even if you're not indoctrinated, to get swept up in the Oh,
look there's a protest on campus. I'm going you think there's a little bit
of that too, just doing it just to belong even if you've not been
you haven't bought into the nonsense of the oppressor. Versus the opbreast. No,
I actually have really deep feelings about this, if you've been educated properly
as I was. I mean, if I'm sitting there reading Shakespeare, reading
the Constitution, reading the Founders, I mean, this bounced off me like
water off of camel's back. I mean it was nothing to me. Forget
a duck. It was nothing to me because I knew better. Not that
there are an injustices that are perpetuated by colonizers, of course there are,
but that everybody's been trying to colonize everybody forever. And the way we've done
colonialism in America does not look like the extraction colonialism of the twelfth century or
the Ottomans, or the or the Chinese imperialists or the Russian imperialists. Think
about and I always say, compared to who? And are we really an
imperialist country? And so look, you're much more susceptible to this kind of
logic and this kind of argument if you don't know the counter argument. This
is why they stop teaching history. It's not an accident that we don't understand
our own past, because if you don't know your own past, then it's
easy to see only the sins of your past, but not the greatness of
our past. So if you grew up on the idea that our founders owned
slaves, but you didn't know that everybody else owns slaves at the time,
and that what's remarkable about our country and the White West is that we invented
the abolition of slavery. And it was the Middle Easterns who gave up slavery
last. It was the Africans who gave up slavery last. And it was
the Africans who sold their own people, mostly to each other and then mostly
to the Middle East. And then once you know those facts, you don't
excuse the fact that Jefferson owned slaves. But it pained Jefferson, it pained
Washington. And remember Jefferson, one of his great acts with the Northwest Ordinance
was to outlaws slavery in all those new states. So Jefferson was a man
torn he owned slaves because he was a creature of his time. And we
shouldn't judge men out of their context, because in seventeen fifty, nobody had
nobody in the world that outlawed slavery. So it's not that it's good.
It doesn't mean we counted in slavery, but it just means that don't judge
people out of their time and have historical context. But if you don't have
historical context, and then you're told, oh, our founder's old owned slaves
while sign a decoration that's aid all men are created equal, then what hypocrites?
What a hypocritical nation? And my goodness, all of our entire capitalist
structure was built on the backs of slaves. And then you get these arguments
that are not only not true, but they're not contextually relevant. They don't
even mean anything. But again, if you've not read no books and had
no counter argument, then it's easy to stir these kids up to protest because
kids are naturally anti authoritarian. They want to argue against what their parents believe.
But if it goes beyond what the parents believe to what the culture knows
about itself, then it's harder to flip the script, which is why the
left has been for forty to fifty years rewriting, if not eliminating, the
study of American history, historical and the Constitution. Yeah, historical context,
real quick, talking to Leehabbee, We got just a couple of minutes left,
Lee, and if if you can confine this to an answer that that
short, I'll applaud you as being brilliant. But you've been brilliant already.
So here's the question historically, in the historical context, is there really such
a thing as a Palestinian culture or a Palestinian language? I mean, who
are these people that call themselves Palestinians? Really? Well, this is the
question, right if you don't know the history, if you don't know who
is there really first? Right? So the Jews are there first, and
then the Jews are expelled, and then yes, there are some indigenous people
living there. There are people who might call themselves Palestinian. Where are they
from? Who's Jordan? Do people know that Jordan is mostly Palestinian? That
the Palestinians already of a state? And then when the partition happens in nineteen
forty eight, you know, why are Jews able to turn their part of
the land into a thriving, thriving democratic republic, right? And why is
it that the Palestinians struggling still? So it's not only who are they,
but what's their claim? What's their claim? The land was stolen from them?
They were there first, that's not true, not tr right. And
moreover, everybody's had land taken from them during war and conquest forever, so
under their logic, the Mexicans should be able to say, give us Phoenix,
it's ours and we're going to blow it up. Lately, they are
taking it back as well as the rest of the world through the colonization that
is happening through our lack of a border in the South. It's amazing.
Look, no doubt, no doubt, And look, the colonization of the
mind is what I care about. And the Marxists have worked hard at colonizing
the minds of our young people. And until we get back to the study
of Western civilization in American history, we have to have some narrative to replace
that or that will continue to be the triumphal That will be the triumphal narrative.
