355
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 10>We will hear the radio ads about the irs.

356
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.640
<v Speaker 2>They tell you to be afraid to be scared, and

357
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 2>they try to frighten you into calling I'm not here

358
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 2>to do for.

359
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Dayton, playing me in youth excited the studio. I figured

360
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>we'd make this music orient this entire hour of this night.

361
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Calf Art seven other wl W. Jerry Deffick joining us

362
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is a return guest he was with us several months

363
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 1>ago talking about a instrument drive for musicians of hard

364
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.160
<v Speaker 1>hit disaster areas. At the time we were speaking, it

365
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.839
<v Speaker 1>was about western North Carolina and the remnants of Hurricane

366
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Helene and people who had lost literally everything, and the

367
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 1>drive to give them instruments and thus give them hope

368
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.839
<v Speaker 1>to go on and resume their lives, because music is

369
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 1>a great salve for a lot of different ailments, and

370
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.680
<v Speaker 1>it was enormously successful. They just did another drive with

371
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Wood Song's Old Time Radio Hour on PBS and on

372
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 1>public radio for Pikeville, Kentucky. I just saw the video

373
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of that today and as our guest will tell you,

374
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>it was epic. Michael Jonathan, Welcome back to the Nightcap.

375
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:43.839
<v Speaker 1>How are you.

376
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.079
<v Speaker 5>It's nice to be back again, garat Jah, thank you

377
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:50.240
<v Speaker 5>so much for inviting me in Hello to your rather

378
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.359
<v Speaker 5>huge WLW audience.

379
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, and you know what, if we can help

380
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a little brother out, it's always a good thing. That's

381
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>how I feel.

382
00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 6>Yes, it is.

383
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.160
<v Speaker 5>It's nice to talk to someone who gets that.

384
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:01.079
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate that.

385
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:07.839
<v Speaker 1>So you have been doing this Wood Song's broadcast both

386
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.400
<v Speaker 1>on public TV and public radio for how long now?

387
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.799
<v Speaker 5>Michael well, let's see this Monday, we're taping a show

388
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 5>number one, one hundred and thirty eight. So we've been

389
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 5>at it for a while. I don't keep track of

390
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.000
<v Speaker 5>the years too well.

391
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 3>But.

392
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.960
<v Speaker 5>It's it's been happening, and it's been amazing because it's

393
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 5>run out of the fuel is love.

394
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 6>I mean, nobody gets paid to do it.

395
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:35.519
<v Speaker 5>It's an all volunteer thing, and it's on over five

396
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:39.319
<v Speaker 5>hundred radio stations. It's on American Forces Radio Network, it's

397
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:44.160
<v Speaker 5>on public television nationwide, it's on the RFD television network

398
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.400
<v Speaker 5>coast to coast. And for something like that to happen,

399
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.480
<v Speaker 5>you're in broadcasting and you realize that, you know, if

400
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 5>you do that without financial transactions, then the love quotient

401
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 5>must be very, very strong and sincere and with wood songs.

402
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>It is a lot of people complaining, or some people

403
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.039
<v Speaker 1>complaining about maybe the federal funding not being as great

404
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 1>or being cut off at some point, but all of

405
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>these shows are basically viewer and listeners supported. As you said,

406
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.519
<v Speaker 1>it's fueled by love more than anything else, and I

407
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:21.599
<v Speaker 1>think that's as it should be. But apparently if you're

408
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 1>on PBS, you're on NPR, you're on Armed Forces Radio,

409
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 1>which I did not know that that's cool, And you're

410
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>on RFD television. They don't put shows on that many

411
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.599
<v Speaker 1>platforms unless they are touching people in a special way,

412
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and they are touching a lot of people. You know,

413
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't get to do thirteen hundred and thirty eight

414
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:49.440
<v Speaker 1>shows without doing something of quality, I would say, And

415
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.039
<v Speaker 1>not only that touches the emotional nerve, but also is

416
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 1>just a quality product. So I commend you on that.

417
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead, Well, we celebrate them.

418
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.599
<v Speaker 1>You kind of, Michael, you kind of broke up. What

419
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 1>did you? Can you repeat that? You kind of broke up?

420
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 1>You celebrate what?

421
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:14.759
<v Speaker 5>Sure, we celebrate the music. And that's a universal thing.

422
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 5>It's the it's the soundtrack of rural America. That's what

423
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.319
<v Speaker 5>wood Songs represents. And I'll say it in broadcast terms.

424
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 5>Content is everything. It's it's what matters most. You can't

425
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 5>put junk on the air. That's why Gary Jeff is

426
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 5>such a popular evening radio personality.

427
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:35.960
<v Speaker 6>And you know, you have to have you have to care.

428
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.599
<v Speaker 5>And I think when people tune in wood Songs, they

429
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.839
<v Speaker 5>can tell that the artists and the audience and the

430
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.680
<v Speaker 5>folks that work on the show care deeply, and that's

431
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 5>why when we see an opportunity to do more than

432
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 5>just the broadcast or play music, we can actually help

433
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:55.960
<v Speaker 5>the community that makes wood songs possible. That's why we

434
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.359
<v Speaker 5>do these these instrument gifting efforts.

435
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think it's very very nice that you would

436
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>laud my contents and you're part of it tonight.

437
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well, you know I didn't mean it that way.

438
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 4>No, I know, I know what you meant.

439
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 1>No, I know what you meant. The origination of this

440
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:19.920
<v Speaker 1>for you. You had some transformative musical experiences growing up,

441
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 1>and they weren't obvious at the time, I guess. But

442
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>one of your neighbors growing up was a guy named

443
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Pete Seeger that people may have heard of, correct, And

444
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>what was your relationship with mister Seeger.

445
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'd play with the kids on his He had

446
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 5>a log cabin on the side of the mountain overlooking

447
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 5>the Hudson River that he bought in the nineteen fifties,

448
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.480
<v Speaker 5>and you know, he was known around town. I was

449
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 5>just a little rock and roll kid, New Yorker and

450
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 5>unless you can plug the thing in.

451
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 6>It's not a real instrument.

452
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 5>So he played the banjo, which was like very foreign

453
00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 5>to us, and you know, he'd show up at our

454
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.279
<v Speaker 5>school after a storm with his axe and chopped.

455
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 6>Firewood, and you know, I didn't.

456
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.039
<v Speaker 3>You know.

457
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.720
<v Speaker 5>I got a job right after high school on the

458
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.480
<v Speaker 5>Mexican border at the little radio station kV o Z Radio,

459
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:12.960
<v Speaker 5>right on.

460
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 6>The Mexican border in Laureta, Texas.

461
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 5>And I played a song by Roger mcgwin and the Birds,

462
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.960
<v Speaker 5>and I noticed it was written by my neighbor, and

463
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 5>I was like, Oh, that's.

464
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.680
<v Speaker 17>Who Pete Seeger is no ken? I called him up.

465
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 17>I said, it's Michael from next door. I just found

466
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:34.359
<v Speaker 17>out that you are Pete Seeger. He laughed, but I said,

467
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:35.680
<v Speaker 17>I want to be a folks singer too.

468
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 6>What do I do?

469
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 5>And he said, go to the Appalachian Mountains?

470
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 6>And I did.

471
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:43.720
<v Speaker 5>I moved to Mousey, Kentucky, and not to County, Kentucky.

472
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 1>What year was that, Michael.

473
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 5>Gosh nineteen eighty nine ish, ninety ninety one ish, right

474
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 5>around then.

475
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.920
<v Speaker 1>And this was all part of the genesis of how

476
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.519
<v Speaker 1>wood songs eventually happened. You had at least a burgeoning

477
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.319
<v Speaker 1>or fledgling young career in radio there on the Mexican

478
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 1>border in Texas, and you said, so you played what

479
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Turn Turn Turned by the Birds and realized that it

480
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.440
<v Speaker 1>had been written by Pete Seeger adapted, I believe, from

481
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:19.079
<v Speaker 1>the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible exactly.

482
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 5>You know, an interesting song written by an atheist, don't

483
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 5>you think so? And was really neat is Roger mcgwinn

484
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 5>became a good friend. He's been on Wood Songs four times.

485
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

486
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:35.839
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and it opened a big door.

487
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 5>I was on tour with Judy Collins and we were

488
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.680
<v Speaker 5>in the town car heading to the venue was Ravinia

489
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 5>and Chicago Beautiful Venue, and they had on the car

490
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 5>radio system Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keiler, which I

491
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.160
<v Speaker 5>never heard before. He had a friend of mine on

492
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 5>His name was Sam Bush, a great mandolin player, and

493
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.960
<v Speaker 5>I thought, wouldn't that be cool to have a show

494
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 5>like that? But without the stories, it's just about the music,

495
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 5>and and you know, is that how hard can it

496
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:09.359
<v Speaker 5>be to create a live audience national syndicated radio broadcast.

497
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.480
<v Speaker 5>And we went for it and it worked.

498
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.240
<v Speaker 1>What was a reaction at first when you proposed this

499
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to somebody? I mean, did they hop did they hop

500
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:23.480
<v Speaker 1>right on it? Or what was the you know, well, I.

501
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.519
<v Speaker 6>Went to my friend. His name was Kevin Johnson.

502
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.839
<v Speaker 5>He had a he had a recording studio in Lexington,

503
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:30.000
<v Speaker 5>and I told him what I wanted to do and

504
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 5>how I wanted.

505
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:31.000
<v Speaker 6>To do it.

506
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:34.039
<v Speaker 5>We had no affiliates, no radio contacts or nothing.

507
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 6>And he looked at me and he blinked. He goes,

508
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 6>you know you're crazy. I said, yeah, he goes, I'm in.

509
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>That's great.

510
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 5>So we had we had one little radio station and

511
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna love this.

512
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:48.720
<v Speaker 6>We had no technology.

513
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 5>Because we were broke, you know, and so we would

514
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 5>deliver the show on a cassette tape and they would

515
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.920
<v Speaker 5>have to turn the cassette tape over to get to

516
00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 5>the second half hour.

517
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 1>That much.

518
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 6>That's how That's how wood Song started. You know.

519
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.640
<v Speaker 1>When I started in radio, Michael in nineteen eighty, I

520
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 1>worked at a little station in Gallatin, Tennessee, and one

521
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of my duties was to turn the station on to

522
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 1>sign it on on a Sunday morning, and we were

523
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 1>a sunrise to sunset thousand on AM radio station in

524
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the middle of nowhere, just outside of Nashville. And one

525
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:30.880
<v Speaker 1>of my duties was to run the preacher who had

526
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.880
<v Speaker 1>been in the studio earlier that week and recorded a

527
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>full hour sermon and money appeal whatever they did. And

528
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:41.359
<v Speaker 1>they had a choir that came into music, but it

529
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 1>was on a real to reel tape recorder, and I

530
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>would have to find a way to play some kind

531
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>of record on the turntable. That's right. I had two

532
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.359
<v Speaker 1>turntables and a microphone, just like Beck, and then I'd

533
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 1>have to string up the other hour on the reel

534
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.720
<v Speaker 1>to reel in the middle of that three minute song

535
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:04.799
<v Speaker 1>and make sure i'd cute it up. So believe me,

536
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I know about doing radio without technology. I did that.

537
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore. But

538
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand exactly what that's like. And it's not as

539
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>easy as we make it sound. Michael, That's what it is.

540
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, when you're ignorant, like ignorant folks singing banjo player

541
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 5>like I am, we just went forward thinking that, well,

542
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.759
<v Speaker 5>we'll figure it out. We had a wonderful audience. Remember

543
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:31.440
<v Speaker 5>he was an eye doctor, and he came up to

544
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 5>He says, when you guys, do better if you were

545
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.480
<v Speaker 5>delivering it on compact disc. And so he bought us

546
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:41.119
<v Speaker 5>a tower CD burner and a bunch of burnable CDs,

547
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.680
<v Speaker 5>and so that really accelerated the affiliate list once we

548
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.119
<v Speaker 5>got that.

549
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh no doubt about that. Let's talk a little bit

550
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.079
<v Speaker 1>about these wonderful instrument drives that you guys have been

551
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.759
<v Speaker 1>able to successfully do through wood songs Old Time Radio Hour. First,

552
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about the Heleene thing the first time

553
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.319
<v Speaker 1>you were on the air with me, and I think

554
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you know we were right there at the beginning of that.

555
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:10.079
<v Speaker 1>Tell me how that turned out. And then we'll get

556
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 1>to Pikeville.

557
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, about three or four weeks ago, we collected instruments

558
00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:20.640
<v Speaker 5>from all over America. We had one thousand, eight hundred

559
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:25.880
<v Speaker 5>plus instruments, guitars, banjos, fiddles. They came from from Roanoke,

560
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:33.319
<v Speaker 5>and from Raleigh, North Carolina, and from West Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio.

561
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 5>Your area was wonderful Indiana across Kentucky. We had a

562
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 5>fellow in Tennessee that just lost his son and he

563
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.240
<v Speaker 5>collected about one hundred instruments just in honor of his son,

564
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:53.000
<v Speaker 5>and we brought them to Warren Wilson College in Asheville,

565
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:58.640
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina. And my you know, we're we're fixing putting

566
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 5>strings on, were polishing them up. We're making sure the

567
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 5>next yeah.

568
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Michael, I'm sorry that your your signal broke

569
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.839
<v Speaker 1>up again, just briefly. So you're putting strings on, you're

570
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>getting them refurbished, You're you're polishing them up, getting them

571
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>presentable for the people that you were giving them to.

572
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:18.839
<v Speaker 1>And then what.

573
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:22.799
<v Speaker 4>Well we had.

574
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 5>One of them to go on a Saturday. Here we

575
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.279
<v Speaker 5>had all these are going to show up, and we

576
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 5>had a line of nearly one thousand musicians that lost

577
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.599
<v Speaker 5>everything in the storms of Helleen. They came from eastern

578
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 5>Tennessee and across Northuth, Carolina. We left with not so

579
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 5>much as a harmonica.

580
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 6>Wow, I mean everything.

581
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.519
<v Speaker 5>One of the one of the amazing stories that came

582
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 5>of that, there was a woman that we heard about

583
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 5>that was in her house. The floods surged through the

584
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 5>holler she was in, came up really fast. She had

585
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:03.000
<v Speaker 5>a severely disabled and he was wheelchair bounds and the

586
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:06.799
<v Speaker 5>floods came in, cracked her house in half. She saw

587
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 5>her father on the other half of the house float

588
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:14.319
<v Speaker 5>down the waters. She grabbed her son and used an

589
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 5>empty guitar case. You know, there's styrofoam in guitar cases,

590
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:21.640
<v Speaker 5>and she used that as a booie and she grabbed

591
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.559
<v Speaker 5>her son, held on for dear life, and floated down

592
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.480
<v Speaker 5>the floodwaters till she got to land. And we looked

593
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 5>for her all day long. At the end of the day,

594
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 5>we finally found her and she came to Warren Wilson College.

595
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 5>I had one more instrument left. It was a Martin

596
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:43.960
<v Speaker 5>d eighteen. Beautiful instrument, beautiful Martin guitar. And that was

597
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 5>the last gift of the days. We gave Jessica Dixon

598
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.799
<v Speaker 5>her Martin. She was a musician. Everything in her home

599
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 5>was gone, every instrument was gone. They found her father's

600
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 5>body two days later.

601
00:32:56.400 --> 00:33:00.519
<v Speaker 1>That's heartbreaking and it is and heartwarming all at the

602
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 1>same time.

603
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 5>Your audience goes goes to woodsongs dot com slash Helene.

604
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.160
<v Speaker 5>You'll see her picture, you'll see the story of her there.

605
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, fantastic. Let me talk about the drive for Pikeville, Kentucky,

606
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 1>that you guys conducted.

607
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.480
<v Speaker 5>That was, you know, we're we're we're working on North

608
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 5>Carolina and Helene and all of a sudden, our own

609
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 5>home state of Kentucky, the Appalachian Corridor Pikevil, Pressensburg Hazard,

610
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 5>Whitesburg got obliterated yet again with major floods. I mean,

611
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 5>you don't hear much about it in the news, but

612
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.480
<v Speaker 5>they got hammered hard. And so I was like, well,

613
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:42.079
<v Speaker 5>we can't be helping North Carolina when our own home

614
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.960
<v Speaker 5>state got hurt, right, Yeah, So we said we thought

615
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 5>we'd come back from North Carolina with a truckload of

616
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.960
<v Speaker 5>extra instruments. Well no, no, they were all gone. So

617
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:54.880
<v Speaker 5>we put the call out. We had a We had

618
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:58.599
<v Speaker 5>a whopping three weeks to put this together, and the

619
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 5>Wood Song's audience collected over five hundred of these instruments.

620
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:07.319
<v Speaker 5>We've fixed them up Courrier's Music World and Richmond was

621
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 5>a huge help. We fixed them up this past Sunday.

622
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.199
<v Speaker 5>We went to Pisful, hundreds of people were in line,

623
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 5>you saw the video, and we gifted them all away

624
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.679
<v Speaker 5>and again, not so much as a flute was left over.

625
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. I just can't even imagine the looks on

626
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 1>people's faces knowing this is going on, and they've maybe

627
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 1>lost every possession that they have, including their instruments, and

628
00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>then they find out that this is going on. These

629
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>gifts are being handed out by you, and it must

630
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>give you a wonderful internal kind of warming that you

631
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.079
<v Speaker 1>can't find anywhere else. I can't even imagine.

632
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 5>It's amazing, Gary Jeff. Love is the greatest transaction of

633
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:57.400
<v Speaker 5>the arts. It's what makes everything work. And the music

634
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 5>of Appalachia this is the soundtrack of.

635
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 6>The Marria's Front Porch.

636
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:06.360
<v Speaker 5>These are the musicians that represent the music of rural America.

637
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.639
<v Speaker 5>You know, there was a there was a woman in Raleigh.

638
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 5>She had divorced her her musician husband, and she inherited

639
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:15.719
<v Speaker 5>half of his stuff, as you do in a divorce,

640
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:19.079
<v Speaker 5>and one of them was a three thousand dollars upright base.

641
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.039
<v Speaker 5>We had it in Pikeville and there was a fourteen

642
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:25.079
<v Speaker 5>year old little girl and all she wanted was an

643
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.639
<v Speaker 5>upright bass to play. Now, these things are very expensive,

644
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 5>especially the good ones. Well, when we brought out that

645
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 5>upright base and handed it to her and her father,

646
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.440
<v Speaker 5>you should have seen the look on her face. I mean,

647
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 5>she just a little girl, and she just started weeping

648
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 5>because she couldn't believe that she actually had an upright bass.

649
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 5>And so, yeah, it's very emotional. Music is very powerful.

650
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:54.400
<v Speaker 5>It represents the spirit and love and life. And family

651
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:59.599
<v Speaker 5>and neighbors and home you know, of America, and that's

652
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 5>why we do it.

653
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:04.000
<v Speaker 1>What's the address again for people to check out any

654
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:10.119
<v Speaker 1>videos of these incredible instrument giveaways that wood Songs is doing, Michael,

655
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Where can people find that again?

656
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 5>Sure? Woodsongs dot Com. Right there at the top of

657
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.960
<v Speaker 5>the page. You'll see the link to Pikeville into Asheville,

658
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:23.320
<v Speaker 5>North Carolina. It is incredible the love that's out there

659
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:25.920
<v Speaker 5>when you simply invite people to participate.

660
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no doubt about it. And is there any specific

661
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.039
<v Speaker 1>time in this area? Do you know what your affiliate

662
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is in Cincinnati or the northern Kentucky area where people

663
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 1>can watch the wood Songs broadcast the Old Time Radio

664
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Hour specifically on Squad Sure watch.

665
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:48.960
<v Speaker 5>It every Friday on RFDTV. It airs on public television

666
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.599
<v Speaker 5>k e T I believe Think TV from a Dayton

667
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:57.159
<v Speaker 5>also goes into the Cincinnati market. Kay Indianapolis Public Television

668
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:01.039
<v Speaker 5>also goes into the Cincinnati market, so they can certainly

669
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:05.039
<v Speaker 5>watch it. Unfortunately, Cincinnati Public Radio doesn't want to air

670
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 5>that show that generates.

671
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:11.559
<v Speaker 18>From Lexington, so we're not on public radio, but we

672
00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:16.639
<v Speaker 18>are on radio in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, across America, Ireland,

673
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:18.119
<v Speaker 18>but not in Cincinnati.

674
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Well that's all right. You can catch the television broadcast

675
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:24.719
<v Speaker 1>of Wood Songs Old Time Radio Hour. Michael Jonathan, thank

676

678
00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:34.480
<v Speaker 1>help generate a little bit more publicity for it, I'd

679
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:35.559
<v Speaker 1>be more than glad.

680
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.920

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 16>So I went to the bowling alley with my friend

00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 16>short Steven.

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.719
<v Speaker 10>Your friend's height, I'm not making fun of it.

690
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Why do you hate shark people?

693
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:13.639
<v Speaker 9>I Sometimes it feels like it's not safe to say anything,

694
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.599
<v Speaker 9>but not with Eddie and Rocky.

695
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:17.760
<v Speaker 4>They want to hear what you have to say.

696
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.679
<v Speaker 10>We think it's important for everyone to be heard. Eddie

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:35.760
<v Speaker 1>on Monday April fourteenth, twenty twenty five. Tomorrow Tuesday, April fifteenth,

702
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:43.719
<v Speaker 1>also the release date for a brand new book, The

703
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Fate of the Generals MacArthur Wainwright and the Epic Battle

704
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.119
<v Speaker 1>for the Philippines. As we close in on the eightieth

705
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.800
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of the end of World War Two in nineteen

706
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:58.639
<v Speaker 1>forty five. The author of that book is joining us

707
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:01.840
<v Speaker 1>for this segment. Is also known as a speech writer

708
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.920
<v Speaker 1>for President Bush. I want to talk to him a

709
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:09.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit about that duty and that discipline as well.

710
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:12.239
<v Speaker 1>But the author of the book The Fate of the

711
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Generals now with us, Jonathan Horn, How are you, sir?

712
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:18.960
<v Speaker 7>Doing great? Thank you so much for having me.

713
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.679
<v Speaker 1>You bet so? What was the inspiration for this book?

714
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, for a lot of people at this point,

715
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 1>especially younger people, world War Two is not just eighty

716
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:36.199
<v Speaker 1>years past. It's like it's a fog of time somewhere

717
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:38.199
<v Speaker 1>back in the Middle Ages, I think for a lot

718
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.920
<v Speaker 1>of people. But these were crucial times. And these were

719
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:46.960
<v Speaker 1>crucial battles in the Pacific that eventually led to the

720
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:51.480
<v Speaker 1>end of World War two and the freeing of the

721
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Filipino people and so many American prisoners and the like,

722
00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.119
<v Speaker 1>and the epic battles that took place, but orchestrated by

723
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:03.079
<v Speaker 1>the two main characters in your book. What was the

724
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 1>genesis of this?

725
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:10.000
<v Speaker 7>John, Well, you know everybody knows that famous vow that

726
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:14.519
<v Speaker 7>Douglas MacArthur made early in World War two. I shall return.

727
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:19.519
<v Speaker 7>He said those words after receiving orders to leave the Philippines,

728
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.519
<v Speaker 7>which was then an American colony, and he left behind

729
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:26.320
<v Speaker 7>an army to face starvation and surrender and ultimately the

730
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:29.400
<v Speaker 7>largest surrender in American history, nearly eighty thousand troops.

731
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

732
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:32.880
<v Speaker 7>And very few people know about the general who took

733
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.760
<v Speaker 7>command after MacArthur left. His name was General Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.

734
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:41.239
<v Speaker 7>And he also made a vow, and his vow was

735
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 7>to stay with his men, share their faith, even if

736
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.559
<v Speaker 7>it meant becoming the highest ranking American prisoner of war

737
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:51.280
<v Speaker 7>of World War two. And I felt that you couldn't

738
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:55.119
<v Speaker 7>understand the story of Douglas MacArthur's vow to return to

739
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:58.199
<v Speaker 7>the Philippines. Unless you understood the story of this much

740
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.840
<v Speaker 7>lesser known figure who had out to stay and share

741
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:02.679
<v Speaker 7>the fate of his men.

742
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Was wayn right there, for save the Baton Death March.

743
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:09.000
<v Speaker 3>He held out.

744
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:12.719
<v Speaker 7>So the surrender on Baton happened on April ninth, nineteen

745
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:16.960
<v Speaker 7>forty two. That was nearly eighty thousand troops surrendering. This

746
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:21.039
<v Speaker 7>is a massive surrender of the United States forces. Wainwright

747
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.840
<v Speaker 7>will hold out for another month on an island off

748
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.280
<v Speaker 7>the tip of Baton called Krigador, and hey will fight

749
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.880
<v Speaker 7>on for another month until finally the Japanese force him

750
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.039
<v Speaker 7>to surrender that position and also the rest of the

751
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:36.599
<v Speaker 7>Philippines and all. And one of the greatest forms of

752
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:40.000
<v Speaker 7>torture he'll face during his years as a Japanese prisoner

753
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 7>is whether the American people will understand the decision that

754
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:45.920
<v Speaker 7>he made to surrender for the sake of his men,

755
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.880
<v Speaker 7>because he really did believe that the Japanese would carry

756
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.440
<v Speaker 7>out a massacre unless he agreed to surrender the Philippine islands.

757
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, can you even imagine a massacre on the scale

758
00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 1>of eighty thousand American servicemen. It's just unfathomable, and so

759
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:03.719
<v Speaker 1>many did die, So many did die in Japanese occupation.

760
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:10.880
<v Speaker 7>But what courage, I think, yes, And you know that's

761
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:14.360
<v Speaker 7>the thing. The Japanese themselves did not the lead and surrender,

762
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.480
<v Speaker 7>so you can imagine how they treated forces who surrendered

763
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:21.559
<v Speaker 7>them to them. They tortured them. And of course there

764
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:25.039
<v Speaker 7>was the Baton Death March, which those eighty thousand American

765
00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:28.480
<v Speaker 7>and Filipino soldiers, because the Filipinos were fighting under the

766
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.960
<v Speaker 7>American flags. As they mentioned, the Philippines was then a

767
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.559
<v Speaker 7>colony of the United States is and Wingingwright received slightly

768
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:38.599
<v Speaker 7>better treatment as a general, but he was still tortured,

769
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:44.800
<v Speaker 7>he was isolated. They Japanese moved him from the Philippines

770
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:48.800
<v Speaker 7>to Taiwan and eventually all the way to Manchuria, where

771
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:53.000
<v Speaker 7>he faced negative forty nine degree temperatures and his body

772
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:55.719
<v Speaker 7>began to break down. There's this line in his diary

773
00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:58.599
<v Speaker 7>where he said he was going to fight for life

774
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.880
<v Speaker 7>in his prison, just as he had fought for life

775
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:03.119
<v Speaker 7>to the very end in the Philippines. And no one

776
00:43:03.159 --> 00:43:05.480
<v Speaker 7>had called him yellow then and no one would call

777
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:08.639
<v Speaker 7>him yellow now. And it's a very moving line given

778
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:11.039
<v Speaker 7>all that he went through describe.

779
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:13.599
<v Speaker 1>The two differing styles between these two generals that are

780
00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:17.039
<v Speaker 1>featured in the book The Fate of the Generals MacArthur.

781
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:18.360
<v Speaker 1>What was MacArthur like?

782
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, MacArthur, of course was one of the most charismatic

783
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.679
<v Speaker 7>figures in American history. He was probably the most famous

784
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.960
<v Speaker 7>general America had on the eve of World War Two,

785
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:34.599
<v Speaker 7>and I think that's the reason that President Roosevelt made

786
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.400
<v Speaker 7>the decision to order MacArthur out of the Philippines. But

787
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:43.199
<v Speaker 7>of course this really was like the captain deserting the

788
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:46.679
<v Speaker 7>sinking ship, and MacArthur, of course you can imagine what

789
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:49.039
<v Speaker 7>that must have felt like for him to leave his

790
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:53.639
<v Speaker 7>army behind, and the troops in the Philippines had some

791
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:57.519
<v Speaker 7>harsh feelings toward MacArthur. At the same time, his vow

792
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 7>to return to the Phillips eyes show return meant a

793
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:04.199
<v Speaker 7>lot to the Filipinos during their years of occupation under

794
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:08.360
<v Speaker 7>the Japanese. He really did keep America and force the

795
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:11.159
<v Speaker 7>United States to live up to that now to return

796
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:15.119
<v Speaker 7>to the Philippines and to ultimately land in nineteen forty

797
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:18.440
<v Speaker 7>four and retake the islands from the Japanese.

798
00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>So, Jonathan, you caulled a lot of this book from

799
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the actual diaries of these two men. Correct, well, we had.

800
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 7>It's been more than forty years since anyone has written

801
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:33.800
<v Speaker 7>a biography of General Wainwright, and in that time his

802
00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 7>personal papers, his diaries, his letters had been deposited in

803
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.039
<v Speaker 7>military archives. But because nobody had written a new biography

804
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:45.800
<v Speaker 7>about him in all those years, these papers had gone

805
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.920
<v Speaker 7>virtually unexplored. So here was an opportunity to be able

806
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.360
<v Speaker 7>to tell Wainwright's story in a way never before possible,

807
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:56.119
<v Speaker 7>and to restore him, I think, to its proper place

808
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:59.199
<v Speaker 7>in history, which is side by side with MacArthur's.

809
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't relate to the book necessarily, but I'm always

810
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:06.880
<v Speaker 1>fascinated being a member of the media, which I'm not

811
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 1>so proud about a lot of the time. Does the

812
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.079
<v Speaker 1>story of the reporter earning Pile, who of course died

813
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 1>in the Pacific during an enemy attack? Did you uncover

814
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.880
<v Speaker 1>any was earning Pile ever? In the Philippines? The reporter

815
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.519
<v Speaker 1>earning Pile?

816
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:26.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know what, there were so many interesting stories

817
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:29.719
<v Speaker 7>of reporters with Douglas MacArthur, because he really did have

818
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:34.079
<v Speaker 7>a way, He had control of the only means of

819
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:38.639
<v Speaker 7>communication with the outside world. Which was the radio and

820
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:40.920
<v Speaker 7>the communicates he tended to issue. He had a tight

821
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.320
<v Speaker 7>censorship regime on reporters. These are in the early months

822
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:47.039
<v Speaker 7>of World War Two, before he had received those orders

823
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:50.599
<v Speaker 7>to leave the islands, and he had a tight censorship regime.

824
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:53.760
<v Speaker 7>And so as a result, the only thing that Americans

825
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:57.000
<v Speaker 7>knew about what was happening the Philippines was what MacArthur

826
00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:00.320
<v Speaker 7>said in his communications, and so often those communications only

827
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker 7>mentioned one man, MacArthur himself.

828
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Imagine that. So I wanted to ask you for a

829
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 1>few minutes. I know we're here to talk about the

830
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:12.119
<v Speaker 1>book which is out tomorrow, The Fate of the Generals

831
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:19.719
<v Speaker 1>MacArthur Wainwright and the Pardon Me The Epic Battle for

832
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the Philippines by Jonathan Horne. You were a speechwriter for

833
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:30.639
<v Speaker 1>President Bush, which Bush George W.

834
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Bush?

835
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Yes, all right, all right. So I've always wondered about

836
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:40.119
<v Speaker 1>that particular discipline and how it is much different than

837
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:45.039
<v Speaker 1>compiling a book like the one that is out tomorrow, Jonathan.

838
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:51.519
<v Speaker 1>It would seem to me, on one balance, it's easier

839
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.559
<v Speaker 1>to be a speech writer if you know the person

840
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:56.039
<v Speaker 1>you're writing the speech for very well, so you can

841
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.400
<v Speaker 1>write it in their words or things that they would

842
00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:02.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously naturally kind of say and craft it that way.

843
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.239
<v Speaker 1>How well did you know, George W Did you spend

844
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:08.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time with it?

845
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:13.000
<v Speaker 7>You know, President Bush did give access to his speechwriters.

846
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.079
<v Speaker 7>We were allowed to have meetings with him, and believe

847
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:19.599
<v Speaker 7>it or not, he was people often to surprises people.

848
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:23.480
<v Speaker 7>But he was a very very strong editor. He had

849
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:26.880
<v Speaker 7>a thick sharpie marker and he was not afraid to

850
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:29.599
<v Speaker 7>use it on the drafts that we wrote for him

851
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.719
<v Speaker 7>and let him know and let us know when we

852
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:35.239
<v Speaker 7>had missed the mark. One thing was true about writing

853
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.320
<v Speaker 7>for President Bush, and I think it must be true

854
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:40.639
<v Speaker 7>for writing for all presidents, which is, if you're writing

855
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:42.760
<v Speaker 7>a speech you want to give, you're going to fail

856
00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:44.679
<v Speaker 7>as a speech writer. You have to write the speech

857
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:48.639
<v Speaker 7>that the president wants to give. And the fortunate part

858
00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:51.800
<v Speaker 7>about writing for President Bush was he had very firm convictions.

859
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.960
<v Speaker 7>He had very firm value system, and so we often

860
00:47:56.039 --> 00:47:59.800
<v Speaker 7>knew where he would stand on any given issue. And

861
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:01.960
<v Speaker 7>of course, have we ever were wrong, He let us

862
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:04.400
<v Speaker 7>know that too, and we fixed it. But there wasn't

863
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:07.159
<v Speaker 7>a lot of guesswork because he did have such firm

864
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.320
<v Speaker 7>values and such firm beliefs and that made our job

865
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:11.119
<v Speaker 7>a lot easier.

866
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, in comparison, say to a President Obama, for example,

867
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it seemed to me like, and this is just my

868
00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:26.480
<v Speaker 1>personal I don't know that he probably didn't provide too

869
00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:31.280
<v Speaker 1>much editorial advice in speeches that he gave. It seemed

870
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:33.920
<v Speaker 1>like he would be just kind of almost not a

871
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.440
<v Speaker 1>rip and reader. This is not to demean him at all,

872
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:39.159
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just saying he seems to me to be

873
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:44.599
<v Speaker 1>more of the person that would kind of just take

874
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:48.400
<v Speaker 1>what was given and give the speech. Now, I will

875
00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:51.360
<v Speaker 1>tell you this, I believe that Donald Trump probably would

876
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.599
<v Speaker 1>be one of the hardest people in the world to

877
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:57.519
<v Speaker 1>write speeches for because he tends to go off script

878
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.360
<v Speaker 1>from time to time at his whim. Would you like

879
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to take a crack at writing a speech for President Trump?

880
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.440
<v Speaker 7>You know, it's one of the funny parts. You can

881
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:11.679
<v Speaker 7>write an entire speech for a president and then they

882
00:49:11.719 --> 00:49:14.320
<v Speaker 7>get out there in front of the podium and they'll

883
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:16.280
<v Speaker 7>just start talking. And I have to be honest, that

884
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.559
<v Speaker 7>happened to me more than once with President Bush. And

885
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.400
<v Speaker 7>I would sit back and he would and I would say,

886
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.280
<v Speaker 7>he's going to read the speech or and he would

887
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:26.440
<v Speaker 7>just start talking. And I have to be honest, most

888
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:29.159
<v Speaker 7>of the time it turned out far better when he

889
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:32.039
<v Speaker 7>just started talking to what was on his mind, and

890
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.000
<v Speaker 7>I would sit there taking notes and learn from the experience.

891
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.519
<v Speaker 7>And you know, that's what can happen when you write

892
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:41.639
<v Speaker 7>for someone who knows what they themselves want to say

893
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 7>and it is comfortable on their own shoes.

894
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Was the fact that Ronald Reagan an actor make it

895
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:50.880
<v Speaker 1>easier or harder to write speeches for a president like

896
00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Reagan.

897
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:56.159
<v Speaker 7>Well, I never had the pleasure of writing for President Reagan, obviously,

898
00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:59.039
<v Speaker 7>but I know I know a lot of President Reagan's

899
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:03.320
<v Speaker 7>speech writers. Seems like it's such a special relationship between

900
00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:06.840
<v Speaker 7>the president and his speech writers. And obviously to have

901
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:11.039
<v Speaker 7>that voice saying those words and on the famous lines

902
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:14.760
<v Speaker 7>you associate with the Reagan presidency, and what a period

903
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:17.000
<v Speaker 7>of time to have been a speech writer at the

904
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:19.880
<v Speaker 7>White House. I think of names like Taking Union and

905
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:23.880
<v Speaker 7>Peter Robinson, really fabulous writers that President Reagan had on

906
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:24.519
<v Speaker 7>his staff.

907
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, and like I said, writing to that person's voice.

908
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.320
<v Speaker 1>That's why I ask you initially, how well do you

909
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:33.840
<v Speaker 1>have to know someone to actually write a speech? For

910
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:37.440
<v Speaker 1>them in the way they would say it. It seems

911
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to me like it's almost made to order kind of

912
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.760
<v Speaker 1>thing for each individual.

913
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:48.320
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yes, And President Bush had a very firm idea

914
00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:51.760
<v Speaker 7>of how a speech should be structured. You know, he

915
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:55.320
<v Speaker 7>liked a certain way to begin the speech, he liked

916
00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:57.800
<v Speaker 7>the middle of the speech structure, a certain way, he

917
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.960
<v Speaker 7>liked the conclusion structured a certain If you didn't follow

918
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:03.920
<v Speaker 7>those rules, you could be the world's greatest writer, but

919
00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:05.559
<v Speaker 7>you weren't going to make it as a speech writer

920
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:08.800
<v Speaker 7>for the president because you wanted, ultimately to give your

921
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:11.480
<v Speaker 7>own speech, not to give the president's speech. And to

922
00:51:11.559 --> 00:51:15.199
<v Speaker 7>be honest, the American people don't care what Jonathan Horne

923
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:15.639
<v Speaker 7>wanted to.

924
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Say on any issue.

925
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:18.519
<v Speaker 7>They wanted to hear what President Bush wanted to say,

926
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:19.199
<v Speaker 7>but they want to.

927
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Hear it in words that they could imagine him saying.

928
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I guess I'm getting at, is it. Yeah,

929
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to write a pattern using words that that

930
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:33.280
<v Speaker 1>person would be believed were his own.

931
00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:38.239
<v Speaker 7>Correct, absolutely absolutely, and you get a sense of what

932
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:42.519
<v Speaker 7>words the president feels comfortable with, what phrases the president

933
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:47.199
<v Speaker 7>feels comfortable with, And of course there are phrases that

934
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:50.199
<v Speaker 7>appear more than once in a president's speech, and it's

935
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:54.440
<v Speaker 7>because the president feels that line very deeply. That's what

936
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:56.199
<v Speaker 7>that represents, the president's conviction.

937
00:51:56.840 --> 00:52:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, it's fascinating stuff. Jonathan Holne is the author of

938
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:05.400
<v Speaker 1>The Fate of the Generals MacArthur Wainwright and the End

939
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:10.119
<v Speaker 1>of the War in the Philippines eighty years ago. The

940
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.159
<v Speaker 1>end of that great and terrible war, World War two.

941
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:19.119
<v Speaker 1>It ended in the Pacific, and MacArthur did return to

942
00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.719
<v Speaker 1>liberate the Philippines two years after he left. And in

943
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:26.280
<v Speaker 1>his wake he left this General Wainwright, who seems to

944
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:30.360
<v Speaker 1>me like a very very heroic character and very brave

945
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in the face of torture and death at the hands

946
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Japanese. The book is out tomorrow. Anything else

947
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:41.199
<v Speaker 1>people should know about this tone, Jonathan.

948
00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:45.639
<v Speaker 7>Well I hope that reading the book reminds Americans about

949
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:48.920
<v Speaker 7>the sacrifice and courage of the World War II generation

950
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:51.800
<v Speaker 7>that were made. These sacrifices were made for us, and

951
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:55.559
<v Speaker 7>also learned that there's always new stories like General Wainwright's.

952
00:52:55.320 --> 00:52:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, that have been kind of ignored or kind

953
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of lost in the fog of time. When you get

954
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple of generations in after a major historical event.

955
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Many times, sadly those stories are rewritten or they're not

956
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:20.559
<v Speaker 1>true to what actually happened. And I'm looking forward to

957
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:24.440
<v Speaker 1>reading your book to find out how true to the

958
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:26.840
<v Speaker 1>core all this is. And if you're getting this, you're

959
00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:29.880
<v Speaker 1>leanning these from papers and diaries of the two men,

960
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:34.079
<v Speaker 1>especially Wainwright. You have a pretty good source that's being

961
00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:38.360
<v Speaker 1>tapped that hasn't been heretofore. I wish you great success

962
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:38.920
<v Speaker 1>with the book.

963
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:42.480
<v Speaker 7>Well, thank you so much. It's been a pleasure speaking

964
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:42.760
<v Speaker 7>with you.

965
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Horne. It's the Fate of the Generals out tomorrow.

966
00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:50.639
<v Speaker 1>If you're a history buff, and I am, it sounds

967
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:51.840
<v Speaker 1>like required reading.

968
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Take care, sir, Thank you so much.

969
00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:59.360
<v Speaker 1>You bet you. J. T. Young on the other side

970

<v Speaker 1>Good Gun, Bad Guy series of books, fur Ball, wild Man.

972
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.519
<v Speaker 1>It's all still ahead as we trod on on this

973
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Monday night in the Nightcap on seven hundred WLW. You'll

974
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:16.559
<v Speaker 1>show every once in a while, just so I can

975
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:19.400
<v Speaker 1>put a little bit of food on the table. Our

976
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:22.480
<v Speaker 1>next guest is very concerned about putting food on the

977
00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:25.960
<v Speaker 1>table and where it comes from in this country that

978
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:30.079
<v Speaker 1>is part of a four generation a Midwestern family farm

979
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.679
<v Speaker 1>and is also the author of Land Rich Cash for

980
00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:35.800
<v Speaker 1>My Family's Hope and The Untold History of the Disappearing

981
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:41.320
<v Speaker 1>American Farmer Brian Reisinger from Wisconsin. Right, Brian, is that

982
00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:42.440
<v Speaker 1>where the family farm is.

983
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:46.000
<v Speaker 19>That's exactly right, more hundred years in southern Wisconsin.

984
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:50.400
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. So obviously, the issue that everybody wants to

985
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.440
<v Speaker 1>know about from a farmer's perspective or from a farmer's

986
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:58.920
<v Speaker 1>family perspective is tariffs. Kind of the world's been turned

987
00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:02.360
<v Speaker 1>topsy turvy since Donald Trump took office, and it's nothing

988
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that he did not tell you about while he was

989
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:07.760
<v Speaker 1>out in the campaign trail. In fact, he part of

990
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:11.960
<v Speaker 1>his campaign towards rural America and family farms was that

991
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:15.960
<v Speaker 1>we're looking out for America's farmers. Do you think he's

992
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:17.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to do that so far?

993
00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:21.599
<v Speaker 19>Yeah, great question. You know, the reality is that a

994
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:24.320
<v Speaker 19>lot of people in farm country and rural area supported

995
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:27.480
<v Speaker 19>President Trump because they knew about his economic plans, and

996
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:31.239
<v Speaker 19>part of that was getting tough on trade that has

997
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:33.920
<v Speaker 19>been unfair to American farmers and American workers. And what

998
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:36.719
<v Speaker 19>we're dealing with right now is the reality that farmers

999
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:39.679
<v Speaker 19>deal with unfair trade as it is, and they know

1000
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:42.079
<v Speaker 19>they've been been screwed by China and other places. It's

1001
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:45.519
<v Speaker 19>also true that farmers can be subject to foreign retaliation

1002
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.000
<v Speaker 19>when other countries put tariffs back on us can make

1003
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:50.119
<v Speaker 19>it harder for farmers to sell their goods abroad. So

1004
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:52.519
<v Speaker 19>both those things are true. Where we're at right now

1005
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:54.760
<v Speaker 19>is I think farmers are looking to see, Okay, how

1006
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:57.559
<v Speaker 19>is President Trump going to utilize the leverage with other

1007
00:55:57.599 --> 00:55:59.719
<v Speaker 19>countries who got about seventy countries that have come for

1008
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.519
<v Speaker 19>and said they're ready to negotiate after the tariffs that

1009
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:05.039
<v Speaker 19>he put in place and then eased up on. And

1010
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:06.639
<v Speaker 19>so I think the big question for a lot of

1011
00:56:06.679 --> 00:56:08.920
<v Speaker 19>farmers right now is what kind of trade deals can

1012
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.280
<v Speaker 19>the administration reach that are hopefully more fair while opening

1013
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:13.480
<v Speaker 19>up markets brought.

1014
00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's already there are so many things against farmers,

1015
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:23.440
<v Speaker 1>people who grow crops, people who raise animals. To begin with,

1016
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you got mother nature obviously, and that's that's that can

1017
00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:31.559
<v Speaker 1>be enemy or friend number one, depending on how the

1018
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:34.599
<v Speaker 1>weather goes. And there's nothing that any no matter what

1019
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the climate terrorists tell you there's nothing any of us

1020
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:43.079
<v Speaker 1>can do about the weather, about massive flooding, about droughts,

1021
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:48.079
<v Speaker 1>tornadoes and the like that can simply wreak havoc on

1022
00:56:48.239 --> 00:56:52.360
<v Speaker 1>any farm that is touched by these adverse extreme weather conditions.

1023
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:55.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's Mother Nature at work. So that's enemy or

1024
00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:00.519
<v Speaker 1>friend number one, depending on how that goes after that. Yeah,

1025
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:02.320
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, go ahead, you speak to that.

1026
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:04.360
<v Speaker 19>Oh I'm sorry, I was. I was just agreeing with it.

1027
00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:05.719
<v Speaker 19>You're you must be reading our mail.

1028
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Continue, Gary job, Okay, great. But the second thing is,

1029
00:57:10.199 --> 00:57:16.960
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned, being competitive globally because while America's farmers,

1030
00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:21.320
<v Speaker 1>through all of the adverse events they fight through like

1031
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the weather, still are some of the most productive farmers

1032
00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:30.719
<v Speaker 1>in the world. We have many many benefits in America.

1033
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:36.159
<v Speaker 1>We've got great land, great soil, we've got not really

1034
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that extreme weather conditions, even though I mentioned that off

1035
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the top. But we also face and have faced this,

1036
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:51.159
<v Speaker 1>this incredible hindrance to selling as the world's bread basket,

1037
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:55.599
<v Speaker 1>to selling our goods around the world because of the

1038
00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:59.519
<v Speaker 1>imposements that these other countries put upon us. I know

1039
00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:02.800
<v Speaker 1>that someone was complaining and we had a new segment

1040
00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:07.320
<v Speaker 1>from ABC News which is probably the least pro Trump

1041
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.480
<v Speaker 1>news source in America, if it's possible for one to

1042
00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:14.199
<v Speaker 1>be the least. ABC News, our affiliate, certainly seems that

1043
00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:18.119
<v Speaker 1>way in the way they slant their reporting. That being said,

1044
00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:25.239
<v Speaker 1>mentioning that American farmers sell thirteen billion dollars worth of

1045
00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:28.559
<v Speaker 1>soybeans to try it China every year and now that

1046
00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:34.440
<v Speaker 1>has been basically cut off. Can can the American farmer

1047
00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:39.679
<v Speaker 1>survive sustain while these tariffs do their work.

1048
00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:43.360
<v Speaker 19>It's such a good question. You're still right about the

1049
00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:46.000
<v Speaker 19>challenges that farmers face. In my book Langage cash Core,

1050
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:48.400
<v Speaker 19>we talk about all these issues over decades that I've

1051
00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:50.239
<v Speaker 19>got our farms and we've dealt with our families star

1052
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:52.519
<v Speaker 19>and we've seen the weather, the tragic farm accidents, the

1053
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.280
<v Speaker 19>economic upheople, and you're so right when you layer tariffs

1054
00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:58.440
<v Speaker 19>into that, it is a really delicate situation. And here's

1055
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:03.840
<v Speaker 19>the reality. In the short term, while there's hardline being

1056
00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:06.880
<v Speaker 19>drawn and negotiations going on, there's some time in the

1057
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:09.519
<v Speaker 19>short term where that can be sustained. But we need

1058
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:12.320
<v Speaker 19>to be able to have soybean prices and the price

1059
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.199
<v Speaker 19>of other crops restored, and part of that is going

1060
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:18.400
<v Speaker 19>to be making some progress for China but also walking

1061
00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:20.239
<v Speaker 19>and chewing them at the same time, which is to say,

1062
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:23.039
<v Speaker 19>making some progress for China but also making progress with

1063
00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:25.239
<v Speaker 19>all of these other countries. So if we're still drawing

1064
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:27.639
<v Speaker 19>a little bit of a hard line with China while

1065
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.119
<v Speaker 19>also opening up these other markets that are going to

1066
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:32.480
<v Speaker 19>be more fair, we can begin to do something about it.

1067
00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:33.199
<v Speaker 4>But I do think that.

1068
00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:35.480
<v Speaker 19>Going through you know, say, the rest of this year,

1069
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:39.119
<v Speaker 19>with really difficult trade disputes going on with all of

1070
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:41.000
<v Speaker 19>these different countries, it does mean that we're going to

1071
00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:43.760
<v Speaker 19>have lower soybean prices and other crop prices for our farmers.

1072
00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:45.440
<v Speaker 19>And you know, and I know that you know the

1073
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:47.840
<v Speaker 19>President hears this as he travels through farm country for

1074
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:51.239
<v Speaker 19>many of his supporters. Farmers don't have a lot of room.

1075
00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:52.960
<v Speaker 19>They don't have a lot of money they can lose

1076
00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:54.559
<v Speaker 19>before they get into even deeper trouble.

1077
00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, you're already dealing on a shoestring in

1078
00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:02.199
<v Speaker 1>most cases. I understand that, having some people in my

1079
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:07.599
<v Speaker 1>family that have been generational farmers. Brian Reisinger, let me

1080
01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>ask you this then, because a lot of people don't understand.

1081
01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Before Trump puts a focus on making trade more fair

1082
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:20.159
<v Speaker 1>for American products and goods globally.

1083
01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:21.480
<v Speaker 4>People.

1084
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think a lot of people who are outside

1085
01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of the farming community or outside of manufacturing really understand

1086
01:00:28.039 --> 01:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the impediments that American goods and products and producers face

1087
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:36.079
<v Speaker 1>in some of these other countries in the EU, in

1088
01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>name a country overseas that doesn't put major hurdles in

1089
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>front of American products getting in there. And that's why

1090
01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:50.639
<v Speaker 1>these tariffs are so important to leveling things out. I mean,

1091
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>do people really understand how, say, Wisconsin cheese is being

1092
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>impeded being traded and sold at a fair price in

1093
01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>a foreign country. I don't think people get it.

1094
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:06.360
<v Speaker 4>Until now I think that's true.

1095
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:09.960
<v Speaker 19>You know, there are so many examples, Like there's another

1096
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:11.800
<v Speaker 19>really good one just to the east of where I

1097
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:15.599
<v Speaker 19>grew up in Michigan. Michigan asparagus farmers. Here's a trade

1098
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:18.480
<v Speaker 19>in balance for you. They are not allowed to sell

1099
01:01:18.480 --> 01:01:21.760
<v Speaker 19>their asparagus into certain foreign countries that grow asparagus during

1100
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:23.880
<v Speaker 19>those countries prime seasons. They can sell it during their

1101
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:25.639
<v Speaker 19>off season, but they can't do it during their prime

1102
01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:29.119
<v Speaker 19>season because those countries want to protect their asparagus growers

1103
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:32.760
<v Speaker 19>during their best season, but the reverse isn't true. Michigan

1104
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:36.039
<v Speaker 19>asparagus farmers. They face foreign asparagus from those countries all

1105
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:38.639
<v Speaker 19>year round, so that pushes the price of asparagus bound

1106
01:01:38.679 --> 01:01:42.119
<v Speaker 19>for your Michigan asparagus farmer, but you know they aren't

1107
01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:44.360
<v Speaker 19>able to go sell into those other countries year round.

1108
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:47.440
<v Speaker 19>We need to wipe out unfair imbalances like that, where

1109
01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:50.639
<v Speaker 19>if two countries are in a trade deal and one

1110
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:53.000
<v Speaker 19>of them wants to protect their prime asparagus season, it

1111
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:54.960
<v Speaker 19>ought to be protected for both countries so that the

1112
01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:58.360
<v Speaker 19>farmers in each country are operating on a level playing field.

1113
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:01.079
<v Speaker 19>That's just one of so many examples all across the

1114
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:03.760
<v Speaker 19>globe of things that American farmers are dealing with it

1115
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:06.199
<v Speaker 19>that are unfair and that are impacting their prices in

1116
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:07.639
<v Speaker 19>their bottom line.

1117
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And in your home state of Wisconsin obviously the number

1118
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>one cheese producer in the United States, as far as

1119
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>even just trading with our neighbors to the north in Canada.

1120
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Didn't Canada have terrible tariffs on American cheese?

1121
01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:28.000
<v Speaker 19>Yeah, you know, I'm so glad you brought up cheese

1122
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:31.199
<v Speaker 19>and dairy. You know, Wisconsin has one of the kind

1123
01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:34.719
<v Speaker 19>cheese all kinds of varieties made by our master cheese

1124
01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:36.840
<v Speaker 19>makers were the only state in the country that has that,

1125
01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:38.519
<v Speaker 19>and that's why it's so rare across country and why

1126
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:42.000
<v Speaker 19>it can also compete abroad. But Canada, France, other countries,

1127
01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:43.639
<v Speaker 19>of course have a big hand in this. You know

1128
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:46.119
<v Speaker 19>Canada not too long ago, a few years ago, especially

1129
01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:48.960
<v Speaker 19>during the last trade dispute of the first Trump administration,

1130
01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:52.760
<v Speaker 19>they were coming in and they were dumping or selling

1131
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:56.880
<v Speaker 19>beneath market value all kinds of proteins and fats that

1132
01:02:56.960 --> 01:02:59.440
<v Speaker 19>come from milk. And so that's an example where they're

1133
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:01.519
<v Speaker 19>pushing down our prices for what we can get for

1134
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:03.760
<v Speaker 19>our milk and also for other products built off of that,

1135
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:07.280
<v Speaker 19>and that's a real problem. Canada has a very protectionist

1136
01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:09.800
<v Speaker 19>policy when it comes to their dairy and it puts

1137
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:12.199
<v Speaker 19>them in a position to protect their farmers more so

1138
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:14.599
<v Speaker 19>than they do extend fair trade opportunities to us. So

1139
01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:17.159
<v Speaker 19>even though they're traditionally a friend and there's maybe types

1140
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:19.519
<v Speaker 19>of trade with them that are good, there's also way

1141
01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:22.079
<v Speaker 19>that they have built up unfair barriers for all of

1142
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:24.360
<v Speaker 19>our dairy farms across America as well.

1143
01:03:24.679 --> 01:03:24.880
<v Speaker 6>Well.

1144
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a wait and see situation as far as the

1145
01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:32.039
<v Speaker 1>tariffs on farm products and manufacturing products and everything else

1146
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that is going on right now, and it's kind of

1147
01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a wait and see, and you believe, as the President

1148
01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>has said, it's going to be a little wild and

1149
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:41.639
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be some more pain, but hopefully at

1150
01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>the end of the tunnel we come out into the

1151
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>sunlight of fair and free trade, truly fair and free

1152
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>trade across the globe and to help American farmers and

1153
01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the country. The book is Land Rich

1154
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Cash for my family's hope and the untold history and

1155
01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the disappearing of a mirror and farmer. Brian Reisinger, thank

1156
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:04.079
<v Speaker 1>you so much for your time again tonight. It's always

1157
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>good to talk.

1158
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:06.480
<v Speaker 4>To you, so good to be with you.

1159
01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:06.920
<v Speaker 19>Appreciate it.

1160
01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Gary Jets, you bet you. The nightcap rolls on in

1161
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:13.519
<v Speaker 1>moments on seven hundred WLW. After this interest rates have plummeted.

1162
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:14.199
<v Speaker 4>It's we are.

1163
01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Talking now to my friend JT. Young, who was incredible.

1164
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>If you look up the word if you look up

1165
01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the word prolific in the dictionary, his picture is there.

1166
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:29.119
<v Speaker 1>If I is constantly putting out fantastic, thoughtful material on

1167
01:04:29.360 --> 01:04:33.119
<v Speaker 1>the state of today's politics and the state of today's country,

1168
01:04:33.719 --> 01:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and what especially focused on what the left is doing

1169
01:04:37.519 --> 01:04:41.239
<v Speaker 1>right now to just simply oppose Donald Trump and his supporters.

1170
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's been let's just say it's a movie we've

1171
01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>seen before. The title of the piece last Friday on

1172
01:04:50.360 --> 01:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh and the American Spectator, where you can find

1173
01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:57.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of JT's writings, the Left's heaven is actually hell.

1174
01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>And it starts out with and I know that you guys,

1175
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>when you do pieces like this op ed pieces, you

1176
01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:07.239
<v Speaker 1>don't necessarily write the titles a lot of times, but

1177
01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:10.599
<v Speaker 1>it says, unfortunately for the hands off protesters, America has

1178
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>not forgotten what happened when they were in charge, and

1179
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>they tend to think that they are now. I mean

1180
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>no greater example, I mean, other than the last four

1181
01:05:20.079 --> 01:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>years of the Biden travesty. The summer of twenty twenty

1182
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:29.119
<v Speaker 1>when BLM, Antifa and the rest were conducting they're not

1183
01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>so peaceful protests and trying to burn down the entire country. JT. Young,

1184
01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to the show. How are you?

1185
01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:39.760
<v Speaker 13>I am, Greg, Gary, Jeff and even better to be

1186
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:40.559
<v Speaker 13>talking to you.

1187
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh, thank you very much. And it does seem that

1188
01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:49.119
<v Speaker 1>the left's vision of heaven is anybody else's with any

1189
01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of solid, sane perspective is a picture of hell.

1190
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a hellscape with violent criminals in the streets, with

1191
01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:02.840
<v Speaker 1>burning tesla or whatever. The next thing is that these

1192
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>groups like hands Off, you know in that funny JT.

1193
01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>They always have these names for their organizations which are

1194
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely the opposite of what they are and what they believe.

1195
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Hands Off is so hands on kinetically and violent in

1196
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>their intent and in their actions that it's just laughable

1197
01:06:22.480 --> 01:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>for them to come up with a name like hands Off,

1198
01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it right?

1199
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:28.360
<v Speaker 13>Oh, you're absolutely right, And it was.

1200
01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Fun.

1201
01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:33.360
<v Speaker 13>When I was writing the piece, I actually found that

1202
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:36.920
<v Speaker 13>I had more examples than I could put in to

1203
01:06:37.119 --> 01:06:41.400
<v Speaker 13>all the different places where the Left has run a muck.

1204
01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:45.320
<v Speaker 13>And that was really the gist of the piece, which

1205
01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:47.920
<v Speaker 13>was to just kind of give an across the country look,

1206
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:52.320
<v Speaker 13>from New York to Chicago, Minneapolis. You were already mentioning

1207
01:06:52.360 --> 01:06:56.880
<v Speaker 13>when it, you know, went up and flamed in twenty twenty,

1208
01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:01.679
<v Speaker 13>you know, the autonomous districts and Portland and then Seattle. Obviously,

1209
01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:07.480
<v Speaker 13>the homelessness and the drug use and crime in San Francisco,

1210
01:07:07.679 --> 01:07:12.480
<v Speaker 13>the wildfires out of control in Los Angeles, and then

1211
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:17.199
<v Speaker 13>and everything that's going on in New York City. It

1212
01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:20.800
<v Speaker 13>was it was just there were there were it was, uh,

1213
01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:24.519
<v Speaker 13>you know, an embarrassment of riches, so many targets to

1214
01:07:24.599 --> 01:07:26.079
<v Speaker 13>go after here, and.

1215
01:07:26.039 --> 01:07:31.159
<v Speaker 1>So many Americans they see these pictures of these places

1216
01:07:31.159 --> 01:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that you've just mentioned in these occurrences of abject violence

1217
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and just everything going against the grain of everything most

1218
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:43.039
<v Speaker 1>of us want for our lives, and it seems to

1219
01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>me JT. That the more America sides against them, the

1220
01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:52.119
<v Speaker 1>more violent and the louder they get. They're They're like

1221
01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:55.039
<v Speaker 1>a wounded animal in many cases, backed into a corner,

1222
01:07:55.039 --> 01:07:55.519
<v Speaker 1>aren't they.

1223
01:07:56.480 --> 01:07:56.679
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

1224
01:07:57.119 --> 01:08:00.159
<v Speaker 13>I think I think you really you really see on

1225
01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:03.480
<v Speaker 13>a one of the lessons we get from this, which

1226
01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:09.960
<v Speaker 13>is they are becoming more and more concentrated within themselves.

1227
01:08:10.039 --> 01:08:14.920
<v Speaker 13>They're talking to themselves, they're acting with themselves, and I

1228
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:19.800
<v Speaker 13>think that they are getting increasingly frustrated with the fact

1229
01:08:19.840 --> 01:08:25.920
<v Speaker 13>that America as a whole is rejecting their vision. And

1230
01:08:27.039 --> 01:08:29.680
<v Speaker 13>just as you were pointing out, I think that frustration

1231
01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:35.159
<v Speaker 13>boils over that they don't know which way to turn.

1232
01:08:35.399 --> 01:08:39.800
<v Speaker 13>You know, there's they basically have given up talking to

1233
01:08:39.960 --> 01:08:43.960
<v Speaker 13>America anymore. And so they're they're yelling at each other

1234
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:45.560
<v Speaker 13>and yelling with each other.

1235
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point. They are yelling at themselves and

1236
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:52.359
<v Speaker 1>just getting louder and louder and louder, thinking that that

1237
01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>is going to solve or that is going to win

1238
01:08:56.479 --> 01:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>any arguments with anyone. And you look at the positions

1239
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that the left generally holds, like unfettered abortion, which is

1240
01:09:04.079 --> 01:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>murdering babies. That's their heaven, going back to your piece

1241
01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:12.359
<v Speaker 1>and the Spectator, their heaven is the fact that anyone,

1242
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>at any time can kill an unborn baby, and it's

1243
01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a right to do so, to commit murder, and that

1244
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely the opposite of what is and should be

1245
01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>considered virtuous and healthy and heavenly. You look at the

1246
01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>pro Hamas protest wiping Israel off the map. They're not

1247
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:41.399
<v Speaker 1>winning any friends or in influencing any people other than

1248
01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:44.399
<v Speaker 1>the ones as you mentioned, that are already singing that

1249
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>chorus or making up bad folks songs about Trump and Doge.

1250
01:09:49.640 --> 01:09:54.880
<v Speaker 13>It's so crazy, right, And you mentioned just two examples

1251
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:59.000
<v Speaker 13>that really touch on the pulse of what's happened. When

1252
01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:04.680
<v Speaker 13>you were talking about abortion. You really capture that. You know,

1253
01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:09.319
<v Speaker 13>roe versus Wade used to be the mantra for the left.

1254
01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:13.680
<v Speaker 13>It's not anymore. Roe versus Wade is not good enough

1255
01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:15.880
<v Speaker 13>for him. As you just said, it has to be

1256
01:10:16.039 --> 01:10:20.920
<v Speaker 13>unfettered now. And this was something that Harris refused to

1257
01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:24.359
<v Speaker 13>talk about in the campaign. But if you'll notice, she

1258
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:27.119
<v Speaker 13>was never saying Roe versus Wade.

1259
01:10:27.560 --> 01:10:29.640
<v Speaker 6>They want more than that now.

1260
01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>They have up.

1261
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:35.760
<v Speaker 13>Pianny And you mentioned the pro Hamas. Remember it used

1262
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:40.319
<v Speaker 13>to be the moderate pro Palestinian position was it's two

1263
01:10:40.439 --> 01:10:44.720
<v Speaker 13>state solutions. They don't want that anymore. They want all

1264
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.720
<v Speaker 13>of it. And just as you said, the chat is

1265
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:50.079
<v Speaker 13>from the river to the sea, well the river to

1266
01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:54.520
<v Speaker 13>the sea means there's no Israel in between. And I

1267
01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:59.119
<v Speaker 13>think you see has done two great examples that the

1268
01:10:59.199 --> 01:11:01.720
<v Speaker 13>left have up the Andy dramatically.

1269
01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:06.359
<v Speaker 6>They are not the moderate left that we.

1270
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:13.079
<v Speaker 13>Used to think of anymore. These are extreme radical and

1271
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:15.560
<v Speaker 13>they're only talking to themselves, you know.

1272
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:19.079
<v Speaker 1>No no doubt. J. T. Young is the author of

1273
01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the recent book Unprecedented Assault, How Big Government unleashed America's

1274
01:11:23.159 --> 01:11:25.399
<v Speaker 1>socialists left. We're kind of talking about that with his

1275
01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:30.119
<v Speaker 1>latest piece last Friday, in the American Spectator, how the

1276
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:34.399
<v Speaker 1>left heaven is actually held. Another great example that we

1277
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:38.239
<v Speaker 1>keep seeing over and over JT. Is this push for

1278
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:42.479
<v Speaker 1>and and the uh, the actual grooming of children by

1279
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the by the militant, violent transgender community in this country,

1280
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:52.199
<v Speaker 1>who who are trying to convince parents and children that

1281
01:11:52.720 --> 01:11:55.359
<v Speaker 1>to be really happy they need to mutilate their bodies

1282
01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:59.239
<v Speaker 1>and the bodies that they were born in are not

1283
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:03.199
<v Speaker 1>the right bodies and giving into this mental dysfunction. I

1284
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:07.199
<v Speaker 1>think that's another excellent example how the left heaven is

1285
01:12:07.279 --> 01:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>actually hell.

1286
01:12:09.279 --> 01:12:12.840
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, And I think just as you mentioned, and it

1287
01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:18.000
<v Speaker 13>used to be that the American sort of ideal was

1288
01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:21.600
<v Speaker 13>what you do in the business of your own personal

1289
01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:26.640
<v Speaker 13>space was your business. But the new agenda now for

1290
01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:32.960
<v Speaker 13>transgender is now people who identify biological males who identify

1291
01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:38.279
<v Speaker 13>as women should be allowed to compete and therefore push

1292
01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:43.079
<v Speaker 13>women and girls out of the sports that were their sports.

1293
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:47.800
<v Speaker 13>So again, it's not just enough that you're allowed to

1294
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:52.199
<v Speaker 13>do whatever you want to do within your personal space.

1295
01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:54.640
<v Speaker 13>Now that's not good enough for him anymore.

1296
01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:59.439
<v Speaker 1>JT. Young, Thank you brilliant stuff and things that more

1297
01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:03.039
<v Speaker 1>and more Americans are agreeing about, the things we're talking about,

1298
01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's a good sign. It's a terrible sign for

1299
01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the radical left, and they are, as you mentioned, just

1300
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>floundering to try and find some foothold and their way

1301
01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:18.199
<v Speaker 1>with their insanity that flies in the against the face

1302
01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:22.319
<v Speaker 1>of not just decency but humanity in general. JT.

1303
01:13:22.479 --> 01:13:26.439
<v Speaker 13>Thank you, Thank you, Garry, Jeff, and thanks for carrying

<v Speaker 1>you're a freedom enthusiast, you know this guy probably and

1408
01:18:45.439 --> 01:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you know how important andtrinsically important they are to being

1410

<v Speaker 1>How are you my friend?

1411
01:18:54.079 --> 01:18:56.720
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Gary Jeff doing great? Thanks for having me on,

1412
01:18:56.840 --> 01:19:00.680
<v Speaker 8>and thanks for spreading the good word on Second Amendment.

1413
01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:04.880
<v Speaker 8>We really appreciate people like you, you know, putting the putting,

1414
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:07.199
<v Speaker 8>putting it out there so everybody knows what's going on.

1415
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sir, first and foremost, there are people who don't

1416
01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the Second Amendment in this country, and a lot

1417
01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:16.319
<v Speaker 1>of them have to be uh happen to be leftist

1418
01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:22.319
<v Speaker 1>lawmakers in places like Colorado, including their governor Polis who

1419
01:19:22.399 --> 01:19:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I think is one of the dumbest people in elected

1420
01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:29.239
<v Speaker 1>office in this country. But that's my opinion. Uh, they

1421
01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:32.279
<v Speaker 1>have a new tack on gun control, make it harder

1422
01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to reload, and Colorado is now one of the most

1423
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:41.439
<v Speaker 1>restrictive states regarding your right your right don't n bear firearms.

1424
01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:43.039
<v Speaker 1>Tell me what's going on in Colorado?

1425
01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:47.359
<v Speaker 8>Now, Dan, Well, there are two major things that I'm

1426
01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:49.920
<v Speaker 8>following right now. The first one is a bill called

1427
01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:54.359
<v Speaker 8>SB twenty five DASH zero zero three. It's called It's

1428
01:19:54.399 --> 01:19:59.359
<v Speaker 8>about semi automatic firearms and rapid fire devices, and it's

1429
01:19:59.439 --> 01:20:01.279
<v Speaker 8>a law that sign it was signing the law and

1430
01:20:01.279 --> 01:20:05.439
<v Speaker 8>it goes into effect August first, twenty twenty six, at

1431
01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:09.359
<v Speaker 8>which time the manufacturer, distribution, transfer, sale, and purchase of

1432
01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:13.760
<v Speaker 8>semi automatic rifles or shotguns with detachable magazines and gas

1433
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:19.399
<v Speaker 8>operated semi automatic handguns with detachable magazines are prohibited. So

1434
01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:26.039
<v Speaker 8>they basically banned a whole a whole bunch of guns.

1435
01:20:26.680 --> 01:20:31.640
<v Speaker 8>And but what they did was they said accept certain

1436
01:20:31.800 --> 01:20:35.800
<v Speaker 8>twenty two caliber rim fire ammunition and special listed models.

1437
01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:39.119
<v Speaker 8>So so you might be able to keep a twenty

1438
01:20:39.159 --> 01:20:43.520
<v Speaker 8>two rifle for shooting squirrels. But as far as when

1439
01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:45.880
<v Speaker 8>it comes to defending your home and your family. Forget it,

1440
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:46.359
<v Speaker 8>that's out.

1441
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, shooting the criminal squirrels that are invading your home

1442
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:51.880
<v Speaker 1>becomes a little bit more difficult. Are a lot more

1443
01:20:51.920 --> 01:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>difficult in the state of Colorado as of August of

1444
01:20:54.600 --> 01:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six. Is there time to reverse that through

1445
01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the court system or whatever.

1446
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:06.399
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure there's gonna be strong battles

1447
01:21:07.760 --> 01:21:08.920
<v Speaker 8>going on until then.

1448
01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:09.880
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

1449
01:21:10.039 --> 01:21:12.279
<v Speaker 8>And but it sounds to me like they're they're trying

1450
01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:15.560
<v Speaker 8>to do exactly what New York has done with their

1451
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:19.000
<v Speaker 8>so called New York Safe Act, where they basically neutered

1452
01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:24.399
<v Speaker 8>the you know, AR fifteen style rifles. But that's not

1453
01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:27.479
<v Speaker 8>all for this with Colorado. That's not the only thing

1454
01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:35.880
<v Speaker 8>they've now. SB twenty five also requires extensive training, extended

1455
01:21:35.920 --> 01:21:41.039
<v Speaker 8>player arms safety course. And then you gotta then your

1456
01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:43.600
<v Speaker 8>your course and your your name and all your information

1457
01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:45.600
<v Speaker 8>is going to be registered with the Division of Parts

1458
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:49.920
<v Speaker 8>and Wildlife, which is another portion of this this law. Basically,

1459
01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:54.279
<v Speaker 8>they're creating an in house gun registry or gun owner registry,

1460
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:56.760
<v Speaker 8>I should say. Now, they know they can't do that

1461
01:21:56.800 --> 01:21:59.920
<v Speaker 8>at the federal level because it's just it's un constitution

1462
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.279
<v Speaker 8>it's not allowed. So what states like New York and

1463
01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:06.479
<v Speaker 8>now Colorado are doing is they're taking as much of

1464
01:22:06.520 --> 01:22:12.359
<v Speaker 8>their anti gun infrastructure in house so they can keep

1465
01:22:12.399 --> 01:22:13.159
<v Speaker 8>their own records.

1466
01:22:13.199 --> 01:22:14.119
<v Speaker 6>At the state level.

1467
01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:18.119
<v Speaker 8>It's so heinous. I can't even believe we're even talking

1468
01:22:18.119 --> 01:22:18.560
<v Speaker 8>about it.

1469
01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's hard for me to believe. Again, living in

1470
01:22:23.079 --> 01:22:27.159
<v Speaker 1>a freer state, let's say like Kentucky, the Commonwealth of Kentucky,

1471
01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:29.840
<v Speaker 1>where I reside just across the river from Cincinnati, or

1472
01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:35.039
<v Speaker 1>in Ohio, you know, or in Indiana. I live in

1473
01:22:35.079 --> 01:22:38.359
<v Speaker 1>one of those states where your Second Amendment rights are

1474
01:22:38.399 --> 01:22:44.279
<v Speaker 1>respected and protected pretty much routinely, roundly. And then you

1475
01:22:44.359 --> 01:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>get to Illinois and it's like being in another country,

1476
01:22:47.279 --> 01:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean.

1477
01:22:49.159 --> 01:22:51.199
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, no, I do know what you mean. And you know,

1478
01:22:51.239 --> 01:22:53.560
<v Speaker 8>I live in New York, so we're constantly fighting these

1479
01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:57.720
<v Speaker 8>battles up here in New York State. Now there's another

1480
01:22:57.800 --> 01:23:02.159
<v Speaker 8>thing that's happening in Colorado that I and it's really disturbing.

1481
01:23:02.960 --> 01:23:04.560
<v Speaker 8>And it's not so much that it's going to be

1482
01:23:04.600 --> 01:23:08.039
<v Speaker 8>an effective law, but the idea that they're trying to

1483
01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:13.159
<v Speaker 8>use legislation to push propaganda. And I'll explain three Democrats

1484
01:23:13.199 --> 01:23:19.000
<v Speaker 8>from Colorado Democrat Representative Stephen Woodrow, Democrat Representative of Elizabeth Velasco,

1485
01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:22.800
<v Speaker 8>and Democrat Senator Nick Hendrickson. Well, they decided they're going

1486
01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:25.079
<v Speaker 8>to create a bill for the purpose of spreading anti

1487
01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:29.119
<v Speaker 8>gun propaganda and furthering the false gun narrative. A bill

1488
01:23:29.239 --> 01:23:33.359
<v Speaker 8>is called HB twelve twenty five, otherwise known as the

1489
01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:40.439
<v Speaker 8>Freedom from Intimidation in Elections Act. Now, what this bill says.

1490
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Is that.

1491
01:23:42.319 --> 01:23:47.520
<v Speaker 8>It's unlawful to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person who's

1492
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:50.600
<v Speaker 8>voting or attempting to vote anything to do with voting,

1493
01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:55.640
<v Speaker 8>even people who are administrative. If you're open carrying a

1494
01:23:55.640 --> 01:23:58.960
<v Speaker 8>firearm while talking to these people or while doing anything

1495
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:04.640
<v Speaker 8>related to voting, you are intimidating, threatening, or coercing. And

1496
01:24:04.880 --> 01:24:07.079
<v Speaker 8>they're trying to make this look like this is a bit,

1497
01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:09.640
<v Speaker 8>like this is an issue, like gun owners are actually

1498
01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:12.680
<v Speaker 8>doing this sort of thing to influence the vote, so

1499
01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:16.760
<v Speaker 8>it's really a propaganda piece. The bill specifies that any

1500
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:21.359
<v Speaker 8>individual who carries a visible firearm, imitation firearms, or get

1501
01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:25.439
<v Speaker 8>ready for this Gary Jeff, even a toy firearm, while

1502
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:29.279
<v Speaker 8>interacting with or observing any of the specified election related

1503
01:24:29.319 --> 01:24:34.039
<v Speaker 8>activities is presumed to be engaging in intimidation.

1504
01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>The mere presence of a gun is intimidation. A toy gun,

1505
01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:41.039
<v Speaker 1>a toy gun.

1506
01:24:42.079 --> 01:24:44.760
<v Speaker 8>It's actually listed in this bill, even a toy gun.

1507
01:24:46.119 --> 01:24:50.840
<v Speaker 8>So people to understand that when the average person sees

1508
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:54.600
<v Speaker 8>a bill like this, the Freedom from Intimidation and Elections Act,

1509
01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:57.720
<v Speaker 8>they believe that this is an actual issue, like this

1510
01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:01.760
<v Speaker 8>is actually happening, because otherwise, why would legislation be needed.

1511
01:25:02.600 --> 01:25:04.560
<v Speaker 8>But the truth is it's not happening. It's not happening

1512
01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:08.000
<v Speaker 8>anywhere in the country. But these Democrats are doing this

1513
01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:12.880
<v Speaker 8>to make it look like gun owners are threatening people

1514
01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:16.600
<v Speaker 8>to vote a certain way and by using their guns

1515
01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:19.000
<v Speaker 8>as as you know, intimidation.

1516
01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess it's I guess you better not break

1517
01:25:22.640 --> 01:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>out a finger gun either.

1518
01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:25.439
<v Speaker 6>Exactly that.

1519
01:25:27.479 --> 01:25:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Dana was good Gun, bad Guy dot Com, the Loaded Mike,

1520
01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and more. Thank you so much for your time on

1521
01:25:33.680 --> 01:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>this evening. It's my only nightcap this month, so I

1522
01:25:37.439 --> 01:25:38.479
<v Speaker 1>knew I had to have you on.

1523
01:25:38.600 --> 01:25:40.840
<v Speaker 8>Appreciate it well, thanks thanks for having me PO.

1524
01:25:40.880 --> 01:25:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it, you bet you. Andy Furman is up

1525
01:25:44.039 --> 01:25:48.079
<v Speaker 1>next with his weird take on the Masters. Just concluded

1526
01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:50.640
<v Speaker 1>sweet NFL.

1527
01:25:50.439 --> 01:25:52.640
<v Speaker 12>Draft the Cincinnati Bengals selects.

1528
01:25:53.119 --> 01:25:57.159
<v Speaker 9>He's a seven hundred w l W. Donuto's draft profile

1529
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:02.359
<v Speaker 9>got more to Love two of the Cincinnati Bengals presented

1530
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:05.479
<v Speaker 9>by oxy Your Gas and Pellow Windows and Doors up

1531
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:07.720
<v Speaker 9>Greater Cincinnati at Northern Kentucky.

1532
01:26:08.079 --> 01:26:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Now here's Moe Egger with a name you need to know.

1533
01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:15.840
<v Speaker 23>It's yet another off season with the Bengals trying to

1534
01:26:15.880 --> 01:26:19.079
<v Speaker 23>fill their void at safety. The position was a weakness

1535
01:26:19.079 --> 01:26:21.479
<v Speaker 23>for the Bengals in twenty twenty four, and it could

1536
01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:24.239
<v Speaker 23>be an area they addressed early in this year's draft.

1537
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:27.640
<v Speaker 23>If Georgia's Malachi Starts is available when the Bengals go

1538
01:26:27.640 --> 01:26:30.199
<v Speaker 23>on the clock with the seventeenth overall pick, he'll be

1539
01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:33.520
<v Speaker 23>very hard to pass up. Starts was a three year

1540
01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:36.199
<v Speaker 23>starter for the Bulldogs, and he established himself as a

1541
01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:40.199
<v Speaker 23>Swiss Army knife safety with keen instincts and elite ball skills.

1542
01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:43.159
<v Speaker 23>He was a two time AP All American in college

1543
01:26:43.319 --> 01:26:46.359
<v Speaker 23>and he was consistently quick to the ball, taking good angles,

1544
01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:50.479
<v Speaker 23>and he's also a reliable tackler. Evaluators would like to

1545
01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:53.479
<v Speaker 23>see Starts improve and run support, but they'll also point

1546
01:26:53.479 --> 01:26:57.199
<v Speaker 23>out his combination of football smarts and extreme athleticism. Keep

1547
01:26:57.239 --> 01:26:59.920
<v Speaker 23>an eye on Georgia's safety, Malachi start.

1548
01:27:00.920 --> 01:27:03.159
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Smoe has more.

1549
01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.359
<v Speaker 9>Listen to the next draft profile on seven hundred w

1550
01:27:06.680 --> 01:27:12.600
<v Speaker 9>l W, the home of the best Bengals coverage.

1551
01:27:12.800 --> 01:27:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Progressive commercial nose.

1552
01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Truckers can expect the unexpected when driving, but a little

1553
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>hands up like this would still be nice break breaker

1554
01:27:20.520 --> 01:27:24.479
<v Speaker 1>truck driver. I'm wl W Andy, currently being held hostage

1555
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.399
<v Speaker 1>by the Sons and Daughters of Italy as we do

1556
01:27:27.520 --> 01:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>this this interview, Andy is everything.

1557
01:27:30.680 --> 01:27:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, everythus great. You know, I got to say certain

1558
01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:37.079
<v Speaker 3>things and I get to thumb up with a thumb down.

1559
01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:39.000
<v Speaker 3>But let me let me move on over here, because

1560
01:27:39.000 --> 01:27:40.239
<v Speaker 3>you know they got me for a couple of minutes.

1561
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why my rate is not that expensive.

1562
01:27:43.199 --> 01:27:46.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna have a take on the masks. Okay, that

1563
01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:49.199
<v Speaker 3>someone has never said before. I swim upstream a little bit,

1564
01:27:49.239 --> 01:27:52.159
<v Speaker 3>but I mean this from the heart. Okay. The masses

1565
01:27:52.239 --> 01:27:56.960
<v Speaker 3>to me is a very selective situation for selective people. Okay,

1566
01:27:57.000 --> 01:27:59.560
<v Speaker 3>it's an elitist situation. And I've got one step further.

1567
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Even think golf is a sport, I think it's recreation.

1568
01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:06.840
<v Speaker 3>That's what golf is all right, Why can't be both crazy? Well,

1569
01:28:06.840 --> 01:28:08.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but maybe it is, maybe it's not.

1570
01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:11.840
<v Speaker 3>I think it's more recreation than a sport because there's

1571
01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:16.640
<v Speaker 3>no controversy, there's no defense. You know, honestly, people go crazy.

1572
01:28:16.680 --> 01:28:19.239
<v Speaker 3>You don't what because the timing of the Masters is perfect?

1573
01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:21.279
<v Speaker 3>But do what I mean by that? It's too early

1574
01:28:21.359 --> 01:28:24.279
<v Speaker 3>to get excited about baseball. Really, it's after opening day,

1575
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:27.880
<v Speaker 3>it's after the NCAA basketball tournament. There's a great window

1576
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:30.359
<v Speaker 3>for the Masters. There's nothing else going on. That's what's

1577
01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:32.680
<v Speaker 3>this happening right there. And the fact that they use

1578
01:28:32.720 --> 01:28:35.159
<v Speaker 3>the term master. In this day and age, you can't

1579
01:28:35.159 --> 01:28:36.920
<v Speaker 3>have used the term master bedroom anymore.

1580
01:28:37.840 --> 01:28:40.479
<v Speaker 1>I use the terms. I use the term master all

1581
01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:44.399
<v Speaker 1>the time. Sometimes it relates to an activity. Andy, there's

1582
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:47.920
<v Speaker 1>nothing wrong with the word master. There is nothing wrong

1583
01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>with the Masters. And obviously you didn't even care about

1584
01:28:52.680 --> 01:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the incredible unfolding drama of the final round yesterday because

1585
01:28:56.840 --> 01:29:00.439
<v Speaker 1>you have this, oh, I would say, elitist tape on

1586
01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the Masters. The Masters is the greatest, is the greatest

1587
01:29:04.279 --> 01:29:05.399
<v Speaker 1>spectacle of the golf.

1588
01:29:06.560 --> 01:29:09.359
<v Speaker 3>Everybody who watches that as an elitist, you know, first

1589
01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:13.159
<v Speaker 3>of all, it's ninety percent white. That's basically what it is.

1590
01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:16.680
<v Speaker 3>It's there's too much money for the poor people like

1591
01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:20.000
<v Speaker 3>me to get involve to play golf, poor people like you.

1592
01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:23.479
<v Speaker 3>It's a selective it's a selective and elitist sport. That's

1593
01:29:23.479 --> 01:29:25.640
<v Speaker 3>basically what it is for the Bill cunning Hands of

1594
01:29:25.720 --> 01:29:26.359
<v Speaker 3>the world.

1595
01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:29.079
<v Speaker 1>The guy who shopped, the guy who shops for overpriced

1596
01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:32.039
<v Speaker 1>cigars on a on a weekly basis, the guy who's

1597
01:29:32.039 --> 01:29:34.840
<v Speaker 1>got a swimming pool, an in ground swimming pool in

1598
01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>his backyard. You're not an elitist. You're one of the

1599
01:29:37.720 --> 01:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>regular guys. Is that what you're trying to sell me?

1600
01:29:41.039 --> 01:29:43.359
<v Speaker 3>So that that's my set pool. It's not in a

1601
01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:45.479
<v Speaker 3>swimming pool, but that's another story.

1602
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:48.479
<v Speaker 1>So that's the largest septic tank in Florence, is what

1603
01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:48.880
<v Speaker 1>it is.

1604
01:29:49.359 --> 01:29:52.840
<v Speaker 3>After you've been in it, you if you if you

1605
01:29:52.840 --> 01:29:55.399
<v Speaker 3>don't agree with me, that's a selective sport, that's a

1606
01:29:55.439 --> 01:29:58.319
<v Speaker 3>selective situation, then you're wrong. Okay, As I say, I

1607
01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:00.000
<v Speaker 3>saw the play, well I saw the end of the

1608
01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Then that was someone intrigued by it. And again I

1609
01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:05.239
<v Speaker 3>do it because that's that's my living sports. I want

1610
01:30:05.239 --> 01:30:07.239
<v Speaker 3>to know what's going on. I'm I, I'm I happy

1611
01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:09.000
<v Speaker 3>with them. Well, I like it. Know. Let me tell

1612
01:30:09.000 --> 01:30:11.359
<v Speaker 3>you something. If the Masters is in my backyard, I

1613
01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:13.840
<v Speaker 3>pulled the shades, That's what I would do. I pulled

1614
01:30:13.840 --> 01:30:15.800
<v Speaker 3>the shade. That's what I would do, and you wouldn't go.

1615
01:30:16.000 --> 01:30:17.479
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you this. I'm gonna give you a

1616
01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:18.159
<v Speaker 3>couple of questions.

1617
01:30:18.199 --> 01:30:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, Andy, the players and the patrons would appreciate it

1618
01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:23.600
<v Speaker 1>if you draw your shades because nobody needs to see that.

1619
01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:27.359
<v Speaker 3>Would you rather the Masters or the Super Bowl? Well?

1620
01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:29.199
<v Speaker 1>I would I would rather be. I would rather be

1621
01:30:29.239 --> 01:30:30.039
<v Speaker 1>at the Masters.

1622
01:30:30.079 --> 01:30:38.239
<v Speaker 3>Actually draft, what the draft is the bigger?

1623
01:30:38.520 --> 01:30:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Who the hell wants to go to the draft unless

1624
01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:44.359
<v Speaker 1>you're want to a player in the first round gonna

1625
01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>be taken to the first round. I don't care about

1626
01:30:45.880 --> 01:30:49.159
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Draft. I'll read the results later. I don't

1627
01:30:49.199 --> 01:30:50.039
<v Speaker 1>need to be there.

1628
01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:53.199
<v Speaker 3>You watch it next Thursday on the TV and see

1629
01:30:53.199 --> 01:30:55.960
<v Speaker 3>how many people are there, and every city's clamoring to

1630
01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:57.760
<v Speaker 3>get there that event in their city.

1631
01:30:58.039 --> 01:31:02.479
<v Speaker 24>Really, all right, I'm I'm not clamoring if it were

1632
01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:05.279
<v Speaker 24>if it were next door, if the NFL Draft was

1633
01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:09.920
<v Speaker 24>held in Cincinnati next year, I wouldn't even get close

1634
01:31:09.960 --> 01:31:10.520
<v Speaker 24>to the River.

1635
01:31:10.600 --> 01:31:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Andy. Again, it's a The NFL is a made for

1636
01:31:13.880 --> 01:31:18.520
<v Speaker 1>TV sport. And I'd rather be at the Masters in Augusta,

1637
01:31:18.560 --> 01:31:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Georgia at Augusta National than watching a bunch of heathens

1638
01:31:23.600 --> 01:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>drunk Heathens. Uh root for for teams and players in

1639
01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Draft. I want the game. I don't care about.

1640
01:31:31.479 --> 01:31:34.760
<v Speaker 3>You about the opening day parade. How dare you talk

1641
01:31:34.800 --> 01:31:36.399
<v Speaker 3>about the side opening Day trade.

1642
01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:39.159
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mention the opening Day parade. I'd never mentioned

1643
01:31:39.159 --> 01:31:40.079
<v Speaker 1>the Opening Day pride.

1644
01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:42.760
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned drunks and heathens.

1645
01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, that could be opening Day, Andy Red's Opening Day,

1646
01:31:47.840 --> 01:31:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the all day long. That could be every Bengals game.

1647
01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Every every Bengals game. You're right about that. Yeah, and

1648
01:31:54.319 --> 01:31:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to those. Okay, let me let me say.

1649
01:31:57.760 --> 01:31:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Do you hear what Howie Roseman, the vice president general

1650
01:32:00.079 --> 01:32:02.960
<v Speaker 3>manager of the Philadelphia Eagles said. And I'm sure he's

1651
01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:05.319
<v Speaker 3>a spokesman in a shield for the ownership of the

1652
01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Philadelphia Eagles. I don't think this decision came from him,

1653
01:32:08.039 --> 01:32:10.880
<v Speaker 3>but he said the Eagles will not even scout players

1654
01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:14.119
<v Speaker 3>who have been violent against women. Quote, I won't even

1655
01:32:14.199 --> 01:32:16.880
<v Speaker 3>watch them. It's just a deal breaker for us. He

1656
01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:18.640
<v Speaker 3>did it ten years ago and he learned from it.

1657
01:32:18.760 --> 01:32:20.800
<v Speaker 3>It just doesn't work for us. Can you believe that?

1658
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:24.199
<v Speaker 3>But think about that if Mike Brown had that same

1659
01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:27.039
<v Speaker 3>thing as Joe Mixon in the Cincinnati Bengals and they

1660
01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:28.119
<v Speaker 3>drafted mixing.

1661
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:31.119
<v Speaker 1>And nobody deserves a second chance. Ever, they make one

1662
01:32:31.159 --> 01:32:34.119
<v Speaker 1>mistake and they're on the blacklist forever in your book,

1663
01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>right in Rosen's.

1664
01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Book, you know, and you better define the term mistake

1665
01:32:39.479 --> 01:32:41.479
<v Speaker 3>for me. You know, punching a woman in the face

1666
01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:44.159
<v Speaker 3>is a lot different than having a slur being said

1667
01:32:44.319 --> 01:32:47.000
<v Speaker 3>by Tom Brenneman did and when the mic was open,

1668
01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:48.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, he got a second chance. He got to

1669
01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:50.600
<v Speaker 3>wait a little too long in my book, but he

1670
01:32:50.680 --> 01:32:52.600
<v Speaker 3>probably got his second chance of us.

1671
01:32:54.159 --> 01:32:57.399
<v Speaker 1>I know you wanted to talk real briefly about Yeshiva University,

1672
01:32:57.439 --> 01:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>which is an all Jewish university, the Maccabees and they've

1673
01:33:01.000 --> 01:33:03.760
<v Speaker 1>had something wonderful happen, and you want to do illustrate

1674
01:33:03.840 --> 01:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that for a moment.

1675
01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:09.199
<v Speaker 3>Highlight that they have been undefeated since last Tuesday.

1676
01:33:09.439 --> 01:33:10.000
<v Speaker 4>You know why.

1677
01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:13.439
<v Speaker 3>It was their first win since February twenty seventh, twenty

1678
01:33:13.479 --> 01:33:16.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty two. They lost one hundred straight baseball games and

1679
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:18.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to did some research on this. I don't

1680
01:33:18.680 --> 01:33:21.359
<v Speaker 3>know if the coach was fired or not. I doubt it.

1681
01:33:21.560 --> 01:33:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I doubt it. But you lose one hundred games in

1682
01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:26.560
<v Speaker 3>a row, something's got to say. I mean, really, how

1683
01:33:26.560 --> 01:33:28.720
<v Speaker 3>does that happen? I mean, what they what they do?

1684
01:33:29.199 --> 01:33:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Did they hire a new manager?

1685
01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:31.640
<v Speaker 2>College?

1686
01:33:32.039 --> 01:33:35.119
<v Speaker 3>Leman College? In the Bronx they beat Leman collor next

1687
01:33:35.159 --> 01:33:37.760
<v Speaker 3>year they put Leman on every day every day they

1688
01:33:37.760 --> 01:33:39.600
<v Speaker 3>played le Can you image those kids for Lema how

1689
01:33:39.640 --> 01:33:44.680
<v Speaker 3>they feel? I mean, really don't believe you're right about that.

1690
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:48.279
<v Speaker 3>You talk about handicap, you know, yes, see if the

1691
01:33:48.359 --> 01:33:50.680
<v Speaker 3>university they should be able to play twelve against nine,

1692
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:53.359
<v Speaker 3>that's what they should. They should have a handicap in baseball.

1693
01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Do you see the university.

1694
01:33:54.640 --> 01:33:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of handicaps? We're watching the commercial. It was a

1695
01:33:57.199 --> 01:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>wonderful commercial during the Masters with the player a couple

1696
01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of players that were one armed and at the bar

1697
01:34:04.960 --> 01:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and somebody said, he hit it was one arm. I said,

1698
01:34:07.760 --> 01:34:11.079
<v Speaker 1>well he only had one arm, I said, And the

1699
01:34:11.159 --> 01:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>great thing about golf is if you only have one

1700
01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:17.359
<v Speaker 1>arm and you're playing, people know what your handicap is immediately.

1701
01:34:18.600 --> 01:34:20.319
<v Speaker 3>No doubt about that I don't want to joke about it.

1702
01:34:20.319 --> 01:34:23.000
<v Speaker 3>I thinking of handicaps. You know, at the Point Perk

1703
01:34:23.039 --> 01:34:24.760
<v Speaker 3>and I work at the Point, they have a coffee

1704
01:34:24.760 --> 01:34:29.319
<v Speaker 3>shop one of the operations that they have one of

1705
01:34:29.359 --> 01:34:31.319
<v Speaker 3>the enterprises. We have a coffee shop, we have the

1706
01:34:31.399 --> 01:34:34.159
<v Speaker 3>laundry service, we have in apparel shop, a pretzel store.

1707
01:34:34.199 --> 01:34:36.560
<v Speaker 3>But in the coffee shop. They had a film and

1708
01:34:36.600 --> 01:34:40.159
<v Speaker 3>it was filmed last week and they entered a nationwide

1709
01:34:40.199 --> 01:34:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Easter Seals contest for disability, and there was a disability film.

1710
01:34:45.239 --> 01:34:48.119
<v Speaker 3>And it's wonderful, it really is, and hopefully they got

1711
01:34:48.159 --> 01:34:51.600
<v Speaker 3>some notoriety on that some press. Two young women did it.

1712
01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:55.000
<v Speaker 3>One was in a wheelchair, and obviously the one of

1713
01:34:55.000 --> 01:34:57.319
<v Speaker 3>the rulings of this film is that you have to

1714
01:34:57.319 --> 01:35:00.680
<v Speaker 3>have a handicapped person or persons to into this and

1715
01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:02.800
<v Speaker 3>be in the film. That's amazing. And they did the

1716
01:35:02.880 --> 01:35:06.399
<v Speaker 3>film at the Point per coffee shop last week. That's wonderful.

1717
01:35:06.600 --> 01:35:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, and people with people with people with

1718
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:13.520
<v Speaker 1>physical disabilities should be able to compete against other people

1719
01:35:13.520 --> 01:35:17.560
<v Speaker 1>with physical disabilities, just like biological men should never play

1720
01:35:17.560 --> 01:35:18.720
<v Speaker 1>against women. Ever.

1721
01:35:20.680 --> 01:35:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Ever, well, ever, I liked the way it's funny way

1722
01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:27.199
<v Speaker 3>back in the day when I was doing sports talk

1723
01:35:27.239 --> 01:35:30.479
<v Speaker 3>on seven hundred WLW, I forgot who was a gentleman's

1724
01:35:30.479 --> 01:35:32.920
<v Speaker 3>sports illustrated for I got who wasn't occumet to me eventually,

1725
01:35:33.239 --> 01:35:35.359
<v Speaker 3>and we had a big argument about a young man

1726
01:35:35.479 --> 01:35:38.439
<v Speaker 3>who was a wrestler, and he was he had a disability.

1727
01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:40.800
<v Speaker 3>I think he had no legs, maybe no legs in

1728
01:35:40.840 --> 01:35:43.079
<v Speaker 3>the ones, but he was wrestling and he was wrestling

1729
01:35:43.439 --> 01:35:46.279
<v Speaker 3>against people who are not disabled. And I had a

1730
01:35:46.279 --> 01:35:47.960
<v Speaker 3>big argument with him at the time, saying, I don't

1731
01:35:47.960 --> 01:35:50.600
<v Speaker 3>think it's fair. It's kind of like having men running

1732
01:35:50.640 --> 01:35:54.000
<v Speaker 3>against women. You just do it. So he said to me, no,

1733
01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:56.000
<v Speaker 3>he should have every opportunity in there was You know what,

1734
01:35:56.680 --> 01:35:59.119
<v Speaker 3>that's the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Every opportunity

1735
01:35:59.199 --> 01:36:02.000
<v Speaker 3>given the Kistia car, give them the keysty call and

1736
01:36:02.079 --> 01:36:02.800
<v Speaker 3>drive your car there.

1737
01:36:02.920 --> 01:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Really well, Andy, Andy misson And in spite, in spite

1738
01:36:06.720 --> 01:36:09.720
<v Speaker 1>of your obvious disabilities, I always love having you on.

1739
01:36:09.840 --> 01:36:10.960

01:38:04.159 --> 01:38:07.840
<v Speaker 20>It's fifty six degrees with mostly cloudy skies. Renewed worries

1781
01:38:07.880 --> 01:38:11.079
<v Speaker 20>about public officials receiving threats, and it stems from the

1782
01:38:11.119 --> 01:38:14.840
<v Speaker 20>fire at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence early Sunday morning.

1783
01:38:15.239 --> 01:38:18.239
<v Speaker 20>Judge Esther Sellas, who lost their son Daniel and the

1784
01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:21.800
<v Speaker 20>deliberate attack five years ago, talked to ABC's Lindsay Davis

1785
01:38:21.800 --> 01:38:25.479
<v Speaker 20>about new threats, which include pizza deliveries sent to judges

1786
01:38:25.640 --> 01:38:26.800
<v Speaker 20>using her son's name.

1787
01:38:27.319 --> 01:38:31.079
<v Speaker 25>We're in unprecedented times. I think we can look to

1788
01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:36.439
<v Speaker 25>statements that are coming out from our leaders and these

1789
01:38:36.439 --> 01:38:40.920
<v Speaker 25>positions of power and say we're in new territory when

1790
01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:44.359
<v Speaker 25>we see members of Congress calling for the impeachment of

1791
01:38:44.479 --> 01:38:46.479
<v Speaker 25>judges for doing their jobs.

1792
01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:50.079
<v Speaker 20>Meantime, bail denied for Cody Baumer. He's the suspect in

1793
01:38:50.119 --> 01:38:53.600
<v Speaker 20>the arson. He's expressed to stay for Democrats on social media.

1794
01:38:53.880 --> 01:38:56.439
<v Speaker 15>In the Oval office, President Trump on the incident, the

1795
01:38:56.479 --> 01:38:57.319
<v Speaker 15>attacker was not.

1796
01:38:57.239 --> 01:38:58.039
<v Speaker 4>A fan of Trump.

1797
01:38:58.199 --> 01:39:01.600
<v Speaker 26>I understand just from what I read, from what I've

1798
01:39:01.600 --> 01:39:05.560
<v Speaker 26>been told, the attacker basically wasn't a fan of anybody

1799
01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:08.920
<v Speaker 26>who's probably just a what job and certainly a thing

1800
01:39:08.960 --> 01:39:10.520
<v Speaker 26>like that cannot be allowed to happen.

1801
01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:13.239
<v Speaker 15>Balmer was denied. Bailey told the judge he had no

1802
01:39:13.399 --> 01:39:14.520
<v Speaker 15>mental health problems.

1803
01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:18.800
<v Speaker 20>With the report from Harrisburg ABC's Aaron Koturski, a Sunnment

1804
01:39:18.880 --> 01:39:21.840
<v Speaker 20>home completely gone after a Monday evening fire. The first

1805
01:39:21.880 --> 01:39:25.439
<v Speaker 20>calls came into the Ripley County dispatchers around five o'clock

1806
01:39:25.479 --> 01:39:27.359
<v Speaker 20>for a blaze near State Route one twenty nine in

1807
01:39:27.439 --> 01:39:31.279
<v Speaker 20>East Prattsburg Road. The Delaware Community Volunteer Fire Department and

1808
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:34.920
<v Speaker 20>eight other companies responded, using a nearby pond to douase

1809
01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:38.000
<v Speaker 20>the fire. A ten roof hindered efforts to extinguish the

1810
01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:41.039
<v Speaker 20>flames from the walls and basement. One firefire was treated

1811
01:39:41.039 --> 01:39:44.319
<v Speaker 20>for heat exhaustion. The cause of the blaze still under investigation.

<v Speaker 20>A Monday morning crash in Turtle Creek Township leaves one

1816
01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:59.680
<v Speaker 20>and veered off the right side of the road, overcorrected,

1817
01:40:00.239 --> 01:40:03.199
<v Speaker 20>entered the path of David Wills going southbound. Wills was
