WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.439 Utter w LW Jerry Jeff Walker, I am me you 2 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.000 or you and that it's perfectly fine with all concerned. 3 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.119 I'm sure great show tonight as we come together on 4 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.560 this Monday evening. At tail end of the show, an 5 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.279 archive piece, but I thought it would be appropriate with 6 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.320 spring training now in full bloom. The Reds have already 7 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.359 played their first games and opening day just to scant, 8 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.440 what is it fifty three days away? Not even that? 9 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.239 All right, So all that action here in the Home 10 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.520 of the Reds. Of course seven hunter WLW win. It happens, 11 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.520 and we'll have some spring training games peppered in between 12 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.439 now and March twenty seventh. But tonight an archived interview 13 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.280 with my friend Flash Phelps about all the different baseball 14 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.840 parks around the country. It's captivating discussion and maybe you 15 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.359 compare and contrast notes with Flash on the great parks 16 00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:00.640 besides great American ballpark in Major League Baseball. Great lineup 17 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.560 of guests as well, including Savannah Mattics, who will join 18 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.439 us in just a few minutes to let us know 19 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.719 the latest and the greatest from the Kentucky State Legislature 20 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.959 as they are holding sessions and deciding about laws and 21 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.599 bills that may become law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, 22 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.120 and stuff you ought to know. Plus we'll have Frank 23 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.159 Levin on the Ukraine War, Shane Jenkins, who is a 24 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.280 free January sixer, Steve Gorum from the Climate Science Coalition 25 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.200 before the night is done, and we'll try and ring 26 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.840 up the wild Man too. But I just wanted to 27 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.560 take a moment to talk about what I saw last night, 28 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.480 and you may have seen it too. If not, I 29 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.760 recommend it highly for anybody who's interested in the Earth, 30 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.200 and especially our half of the Earth here in the 31 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.400 Western hemisphere. The America's debuted last night, and it was 32 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.760 something you us to see on the History Channel or 33 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.000 the Travel Channel back before all they had was haunted 34 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.639 spaces and ancient aliens. It was so cool. What a 35 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:14.479 trip underneath the ocean, into the rainforest, into the jungles, 36 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.840 into the deserts narrated by Tom Hanks. And no matter 37 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.319 what you think about Tom Hanks, he did a great 38 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.520 job narrating that. But as Chris the two point oh 39 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.039 and I am watching the first two installments last night, 40 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.960 and there's eight more of these hour long shows to 41 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:37.240 come in the Americas. It's on NBC and Peacock streaming anyway, 42 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.240 if you want to just turn the sound off, mute 43 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.800 to TV and put on some music. It's so stunning, 44 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.479 it's so visually aesthetically pleasing and up close looks at 45 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.840 things that you and I never get to see in 46 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.000 the animal kingdom and in nature. It is absolutely a 47 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.960 must watch. I recommended high the Americas. If you get 48 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.360 a change, you saw the promos maybe on TV and 49 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.680 forgot it was on last night or ignored it. I'm 50 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.439 telling you it is worth the time and your dime 51 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.199 to check it out, all right, that being said, Savannah 52 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.759 maddics up in just a moment as we get the 53 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.240 ball rolling on this Monday night cap the last week 54 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.439 of February here on seven hundred WLW. 55 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.759 Open up our live stream on the iHeartRadio app and 56 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.039 take a look at the screen. You see that little 57 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.240 red circle with a microphone on it. That's our talkback feature. 58 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.400 Push it and send us your thoughts on the current topic, 59 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.240 something that you think we should discuss, or read us 60 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.039 that poem you wrote about our trafficking weather and now 61 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.080 they go great together the talkback feature. Check it out 62 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:54.240 on seven hundred wlw's live stream on the iHeartRadio. 63 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.000 App dan Horde for exercise and leisure. 64 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.280 If your schedule keeps you from getting to the gym, 65 00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.560 like me, save time with. 66 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:08.400 As promised, another conversation with our friend Savanna Maddix, representative 67 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.800 of sixty first District in the state of Kentucky in 68 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:17.759 the commonwealth's legislator and legislature, and they have been of 69 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.279 course on and off in session looking at laws, drafting 70 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:27.800 bills and hopefully not passing too much nonsense with a 71 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:34.199 super majority of supposedly right thinking conservative Republicans who manned 72 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.959 the House and the Senate in Kentucky in sometimes star 73 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.680 opposition to whatever Governor Brasher wants. And Savannah first and foremost, 74 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.560 what if anything has a legislature been moving in during 75 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.319 this session to address what is going to be a 76 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:58.199 long running battle with Mother nature, especially in eastern central 77 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.279 Kentucky with all the most recent flooding. What do you 78 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.639 know about that and what's being talked about in Frankfurt 79 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.040 as far as helping the citizens out in this time 80 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:08.480 of need. 81 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.199 So in the past we have had the ability to 82 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.279 provide additional relief aid whenever we've had floods and tornadoes 83 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.560 as a result of a healthy budget Reserve Trust fund. 84 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.120 It's another word for a rainy day fund, and we've 85 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.480 been having some rainy days in eastern Kentucky, so it's 86 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.360 not a budget year. But at the same time, legislators 87 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.079 are talking about what some of those relief efforts might 88 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.879 look like. So far, all they've done is add an 89 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:45.600 additional five NTI days for the schools. That's somewhat controversial 90 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.879 in that areas that are not subject to a natural disaster. 91 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.560 We've had parents complaining about the number of anti days, 92 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.439 but certainly we want to make sure that any school 93 00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.399 systems that are impacted by a natural disaster would sources 94 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.480 in the region itself. 95 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.920 What is an NTI day. It's been so long since 96 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.639 I was in school, I don't remember those. 97 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.040 Yeah, So the NTI day is a non traditional instruction 98 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.240 where essentially you take a tablet home or have a 99 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.680 tablet and you complete school. And that that may take 100 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.759 on various permutations, but it's remote work one way or 101 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.920 the other, whether it's a packet or whether it's online 102 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.480 or so forth, so on, And we've been seeing a 103 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.519 lot of that for snow days, but also for illness 104 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.800 and I believe there was a windy day that they 105 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:37.560 used NTIP A windy day. Okay, yeah, it's kind of 106 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.720 windy today out there, so I don't think that qualifies. 107 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.279 There's not quite enough wind today. 108 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.600 And we saw, we saw how ineffective ntis were during 109 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.319 COVID in the school lockdowns. I don't think we need 110 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.439 more of that, do you no? 111 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.480 And I will say this as far as the learning 112 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.720 gap that ensued as a result from the schools being 113 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.600 shut down. And you know, teachers don't want this either. 114 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.079 They I've talked with several teachers about this, and they 115 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.800 would prefer that the students be in the classroom as well. 116 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.279 It can't be easy to try to teach virtually. I 117 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.560 know whenever I do interviews virtually, it doesn't feel like 118 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.800 the same as sitting down and talking to someone. So, 119 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.839 you know, we can all agree that it's best to 120 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.920 have kids in the seat in the classroom learning hopefully 121 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.600 arithmetic and reading and writing and not some of these 122 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:28.240 other things. 123 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.319 Well, I can make. 124 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.000 Last, Savannah, I can attest that I would much rather 125 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.160 have you in the studio. I love having people in 126 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.319 the studio because you make that eye contact and you 127 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.319 feel like you're really really connecting and it makes the 128 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.759 conversation better. I do a lot of phone interviews, so 129 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.959 I've had to learn to overcome all of that. But 130 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.839 after several hundred hours, maybe I might be able to 131 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:57.639 get a pass on that particular end I wanted to talk. 132 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.959 I saw you. I don't know where the video came from, 133 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.079 but it was last week and you were talking about 134 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.800 the push for constitutional carry in Kentucky for those eighteen 135 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.120 and over. I think the cutoff age is twenty one 136 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:17.399 right now. But if you can vote at eighteen, shouldn't 137 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:22.439 you be able to rightfully constitutionally carry a firearm if 138 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.040 you so desire and all of that. Your thoughts on this. 139 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.879 Absolutely well. We passed constitutional carryback in twenty nineteen that 140 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.799 enabled Kentuckians to be able to exercise at a second 141 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.759 amendment rights without having asked government for permission or pay 142 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.679 recurrent fees. But we said it at twenty one at 143 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.240 that time because that is the best we can get. 144 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.600 But the reality of it is, they are a multitude 145 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.720 of other states that allow adults who have constitutional why 146 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.240 exercise those And we need to lower the age eighteen 147 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.879 because again, you can be sent overseas to fight for 148 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.200 your country, but whenever you come back, you don't have 149 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.000 the ability to defend yourself and your family. So I 150 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.759 disagree with that, But we may get a committee hearing 151 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.639 this bill actually might move this session. Of got a 152 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:17.440 commitment out of the Judiciary chairman, so I'm pretty enthusiastic 153 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:17.799 about that. 154 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.279 Elsewhere on the Second Amendment in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, 155 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.799 Savannah Maddox I had earlier on the show. I will 156 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.480 actually have later on the show a guy named Dan 157 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.279 Was who is so famous for his Good Gun, Bad 158 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.240 Guy book series, and he's an outspoken advocate for our 159 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.519 Second Amendment rights. And we'll be talking a little bit 160 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.399 about red flag laws and how they violate not only 161 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.679 the Second, the fourth, but the fourteenth amendments of our 162 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.279 Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution. And can 163 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.480 you explain. I'll give you a little explanation. He does 164 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.759 a wonderful job of defining what red flag law really are. 165 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.440 But why this is a terrible idea for Kentucky. 166 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.600 It violates due process, Like you said, in addition to 167 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.120 violating our constitutional rights, not just limited to the Second im 168 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:17.120 it violates due process in that it presumes guilt where 169 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.919 innocence should be. We have that presumption of innocence as 170 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.440 well enshrined in our legal system, so it is highly problematic. 171 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.679 I've tried to do everything in my power to resist 172 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.360 the adoption of a so called red flag wall ever 173 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.639 since I've been in office, and we've managed to kill 174 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.559 that bill every year since it first reared its ugly head. 175 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.480 Going to continue to do that the full length of 176 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.919 the time that I have the honor of being in office. 177 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.440 Well, not that you have a crystal ball, none of 178 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.840 us do. But we already know that Mitch McConnell will 179 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.279 not be running for another term in the Senate. Thank god, 180 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.279 we get a break from Mitch. And I say that 181 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:02.000 as a Republican voter, But we know that's happening, and 182 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.080 we know that there's going to be a governor's race 183 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.480 coming up. Andy Basheer will have turned out and there 184 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.240 will be a new governor in the House there in Frankfort, 185 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.399 and we're going to have a whole lot of things 186 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.080 up in the air on a statewide scale in Kentucky. 187 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.120 Your thoughts on any of that, and where do you 188 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.960 think you see it going and are you going to 189 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.399 be involved in maybe running for a higher office. 190 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.200 Well, I don't have a crystal ball, but I do 191 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.399 foresee an ugly Senate race. I think it's already gotten ugly, 192 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.919 and we don't even know what that slate of candidates 193 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.559 is going to fully look like yet. But as far 194 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.639 as anyone who's looking at a higher office, we need 195 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.919 to restore the appropriate role of government. We need to 196 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:55.360 get back to the Constitution. We need to defend the 197 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.480 principles of liberty and limited government, free market's, all of 198 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.120 that kind of thing. 199 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:00.960 And I have not. 200 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.200 Seen a preponderance of that type of messaging out there 201 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.159 at the higher levels. I mean outside of my good 202 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.000 friend's Congressman Thomas Massey. I mean, he's been beating the 203 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.279 drum on those issues for years and years. But I 204 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.320 think overall Kentuckians need to look for people who are 205 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.799 authentic Republicans, not folks who are just going to go 206 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.480 along to get along and say whatever, that kind of 207 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.240 that Mitch McConnell line of thinking that it's time to 208 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:26.879 be done with that. 209 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.679 I think Thomas Massey would make an excellent governor of 210 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.399 the state of Kentucky. I really believe that. I think 211 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.240 you'd make a great governor, Savannah. I know that there 212 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.679 was a time when you you know where I am 213 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:45.440 that possibility, and it just it's a money thing. And 214 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.399 this is the thing you and I talked about before, Savannah, 215 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:55.440 the major impact of money and money, not ideas, not 216 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:59.320 grassroots support, but money, a lot of it coming from 217 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.480 outside the state in many cases, which really always disturbs me. 218 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.799 This is a Kentucky election, this isn't a federal election. 219 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:12.159 Why are we allowing donors with dark money to come 220 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.559 in from all corners of the country to influence a 221 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.279 Kentucky election. I don't guess there's any way to get 222 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.120 that train off the tracks, but man, I'd love to 223 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.080 see it someday. 224 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.799 My eyes have been open to that reality contemplating a 225 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.120 statewide because you know, as you know, Congress and Massy 226 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.159 was supportive of me and very helpful, and I had 227 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.600 a lot of outside support because you have to have that. 228 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.320 But at the other side of it, you have so 229 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.440 called you know, allies, people that you think even within 230 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.120 the liberty branch of the Republican Party that would be supportive, 231 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.120 that we're not, and we're actively trying to stay it 232 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.559 in the way so I think that some of those 233 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.519 higher races you kind of find out who your friends are. 234 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:51.679 But you know, again, we just need to focus on 235 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.320 getting true limited government conservatives in office, folks that are 236 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.879 going to hold the Constitution, and I look forward to 237 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.480 doing whatever I can to make that happen. 238 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.519 What's amazing to me, too, is a short attention span 239 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.679 of voters, of all of us. I mean, it was 240 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:14.000 said in some scientific study that the average human being 241 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:18.480 has the attention span of a goldfish, which is maybe 242 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.720 three or four seconds about things. But we really don't 243 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.840 remember things we need to remember. And I said this 244 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.919 when Andy was running for a second term. I said, 245 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:33.799 don't you guys remember the COVID lockdowns. Don't you remember 246 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:38.559 the boy dictator? Don't you remember him sending law enforcement 247 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.919 out to take the license plates of people down who 248 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.799 were defying his order and going to church to practice 249 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:49.759 their First Amendment rights. Don't you remember the travel ban 250 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.480 that got successfully knocked down, thank god, by people like 251 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.639 Chris Weist and others. But people just they don't have 252 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.399 a very good memory. And I don't know how to 253 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.600 fix that, because that would go a long way to 254 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.720 ensuring that the mistakes of the past aren't repeated into 255 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.559 the future. Your thoughts on this, Yeah. 256 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.360 So we have to make it a core function. It 257 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.759 has to be part of the fabric of the ideology 258 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.840 that no matter what happens, whether it's COVID or you know, 259 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.960 any other or for example, like think about nine to eleven, 260 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.960 how horrific that was. But look at the knee jerk reaction, 261 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.679 the Patriot Act, the Real Idea Act, some of those 262 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:32.440 things that happen as a result of using a circumstance 263 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.759 to give government more power. We have to have a 264 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:40.440 gag reflex developed when it comes to taking civil liberties 265 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.320 away from people and taking power and giving it to 266 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.080 the government. That's the path forward. 267 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.639 Well as far as the gag reflex goes. The government 268 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:51.720 at federal level, state level have done quite a few 269 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.879 things that made me want to throw up a little 270 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.279 bit in my mouth. So not to be gross, but 271 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:01.440 is there any other thing I know they've talked about 272 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.440 what we lowered the state income tax to three and 273 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.600 a half percent. Has that happened yet or is that 274 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.480 on the table to happen? What's going on with that? Yeah? 275 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.000 Yeah, so we lowered the income tax another half of 276 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.759 a percent, it seems kind of anemic given that we 277 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.960 have also not me, but the legislature has applied new 278 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.080 service taxes that you know are in conjunction with that 279 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.559 minimal tax cut, So you know, moving forward, it's good 280 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.480 to move away from a production based tax to consumption. 281 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.879 But if we need to eliminate the income tax period, 282 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.759 we also need to look at the property tax on 283 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.519 motor vehicles. People are tired of paying for a card 284 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.440 he never truly owns, so that's something else. We just 285 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.240 need to reduce spending. Once we cut spending, we can 286 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.279 come in and cut some of these taxes too. Otherwise 287 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.320 we're just going to be moving it from one area 288 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.559 to tax code to the other and calling it a win. 289 00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.639 Could you do something about eliminating the fees on my 290 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:00.679 spec trium Bill. 291 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.880 Born, I'll tell you what. 292 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.720 Every month it's a different it's a different price, and 293 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.240 you go, well, you know, it's taxes and fees. We 294 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.599 can't do anything about that. I'm gonna have to take 295 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.799 a fine comb and a microscope to figure it out 296 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.680 all out. But or just cut the cut the cable completely, 297 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.680 which is, believe me, becoming more and more of a possibility. 298 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.039 But I mean those those kind of fees, like you said, 299 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.519 the other taxes and fees. People don't understand that, even 300 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.759 if you're not having it extracted at the point of 301 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.079 a gun out of your paycheck. We are taxed and 302 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.359 taxed and feed and feed to death in this country 303 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.400 and Kentucky's no different. 304 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.160 It is, and a fee is a tax whenever it's 305 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.920 administered by the government. I think that that's important because 306 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.680 like in agriculture, for example, we have all of these fees. 307 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.680 So you want to sell eggs, you want to do this, 308 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.119 You want to process your own poultry, you want to 309 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.400 sell jams, jealous, you pay these feeds, and when all 310 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.839 these feeds add up, and you know, frankly, a lot 311 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.039 of the regulations that exist are for no other purpos 312 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.359 and to collect those feeds. So that's problematic as well. 313 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.519 I'll see his attacks when it comes from your government. 314 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:20.000 Thank you so much, and thank you for your time tonight. Savannah. 315 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.160 It's always good to talk to you. It's nice to 316 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.960 know that somebody with a sound mind is like watching 317 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:32.240 the rest of the henhouse and watching for the foxes 318 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.160 who are trying to steal our money at every turn. 319 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.839 Savannah Maddox from the sixty first District in the House 320 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:44.839 of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Considered a total loss. The monetary 371 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.920 damage he's expected to exceed a million dollars. Cactus League Action, 372 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:21.839 the Reds beat the Dodgers in Goodyear today eight to one. 373 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.039 Austin Hayes with a six RBI afternoon as he had 374 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.480 two two run homers and Sal Stewart also had a 375 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.240 solo home run. Following an off day Tuesday, the Reds 376 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.880 are attempting to face the Angels Wednesday afternoon. The inside 377 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.279 pitch will start our cover to two forty, followed by 378 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.039 first pitch of three to ten on the big one. 379 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:40.960 The Cleveland Guardians making the announcement of this afternoon that 380 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.440 owner Larry Dolan passed away Sunday Night at the age 381 00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.200 of ninety four. Dolan purchased the team in the year 382 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.119 two thousand. His son, Paul, in twenty fourteen, was approved 383 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.759 by Major League Baseball to be the primary control person 384 00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.559 of the ball club. College Basketball UC Tuesday night will 385 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.000 host Baylor tipop at seven on the Big One. Pregame 386 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.000 gets underway just after six point thirty. Our next update 387 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.960 is at ten o'clock. I'm San Galbagher News Radio seven 388 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.519 hundred WLW. 389 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.160 My name is Kyle Tequila. 390 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.039 And this Monday evening, we're talking now to executive director 391 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.960 of the Climate Science Coalition, author of many, many books 392 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.119 on sustainable energy, and the latest, of course, the Coming 393 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:25.880 Green Breakdown or Green Breakdown becoming Green Energy Collapse. Well, 394 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.960 I forget the subtitles, but I know it's Green Breakdown, 395 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.319 and it's a fantastic book. It takes you through how 396 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.279 all of these things that are supposedly sustainable energy and 397 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.200 the things that the energy of the future is not 398 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.240 ready for prime time yet. He lists the reasons why 399 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:47.240 and the reason that all these efforts towards a green 400 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.319 New Deal and everything else that we've been fed Spoon 401 00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:57.279 fed by the unso the so called settled science community 402 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:01.160 are not true. Steve Gorham is here and after that 403 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.839 rambling introduction, let's get to some real stuff. 404 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.079 How you doing, Steve, Hi, Gary, Jeff, but good to 405 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:09.839 join you again. Yeah, I'm doing great. 406 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.880 Yeah you said, you just returned from a trip to Australia, 407 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.640 New Zealand and Hawaii and they're still They're still in 408 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.160 those places sold on the bill of goods that we 409 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:27.039 have to eliminate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, we have 410 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:32.359 to stop using fossil fuels, and wind and solar is 411 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.400 the only way to go. How are they doing in 412 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.920 those countries and do they still have the mandates in 413 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.519 place in Australia New Zealand that now President Trump has 414 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.359 taken out of the American Energy Policy. 415 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.079 Yeah, they do have mandates in place. The beautiful places. 416 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:51.279 We're in New Zealand and North Island, New Zealand. We're 417 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.640 in Sydney. One thing I noticed though, is that it's 418 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.559 terrible to get anywhere with cars out there. New Zealand 419 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.960 has almost no express US ways and so you're driving 420 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:05.680 on these two lane roads past schools and stop lights 421 00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.039 and everything else, trying to get somewhere, and then Sydney, 422 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.920 Australia is loaded with traffic. Everywhere, the traffic is terrible. 423 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.519 Well, it's a huge city in the US. 424 00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:16.400 Yeah, it is a big city, five million people. So 425 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:18.400 we love our cars in the US, and we don't 426 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.359 know how good we have it. We can drive anywhere 427 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.279 and get quick anywhere in the country quickly, whereas in 428 00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:27.440 these other nations, you know, they just haven't done that. 429 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:29.920 So we have a tremendous benefit. 430 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:30.960 But yeah, the. 431 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.799 Folks in New Zealand and Australia, though, we are not real 432 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.079 happy with President Trump. They think he's really a terrible 433 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:43.519 guy and the press is terrible, and but I think 434 00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:45.839 he's going to have a tremendous impact on getting our 435 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:47.680 energy situation straightened around. 436 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:50.359 Oh well, I mean that's one of the reasons that 437 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:52.200 I voted for him. A lot of people voted for 438 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.039 President Trump for a myriad of reasons, just a reversal 439 00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:59.079 of course of the last four years before that and 440 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:05.759 maybe longer, of nonsensical mandates and dictates that we're supposed 441 00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.720 to save the planet because of flawed data and just 442 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.880 plane wrong data and misinformation. You know, the leftloffs that 443 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.680 were misinformation that we got for years on global warming, 444 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.160 and then climate train change, and then they climate crisis. 445 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.640 You know, they keep morphing the words around to make 446 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:28.359 it seem more prescient. 447 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:29.920 You said. 448 00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.839 In his first month in office, the president dropped a 449 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.279 bomb on green energy and climate policy. Can can you 450 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.960 take off some of his actions here in this first 451 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:42.240 month in office. 452 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:45.200 Yeah, it's really been huge in one month. So one 453 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.240 of the first big ones is he did in executive 454 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:51.039 order on offshore wind licenses. If you're going to put 455 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.440 up a wind turbine, the federal government owns a land 456 00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:55.880 from three miles out to two hundred miles out off 457 00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:58.920 our coast, and you have to have a lease to 458 00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.519 put up a wind turbine. Well, he has stopped all 459 00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:05.519 of those one of his executive orders. He also asked 460 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:12.000 a Secretary of Interior, Doug Burgham, to review all the 461 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:16.480 ones that have been issued already. So prices in European 462 00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.079 win companies just plunged. We have people like Orsted that 463 00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.599 have written off one point seven billion dollars and other 464 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.599 companies writing off funds, and all these plans on the 465 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:32.720 East coast New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island all 466 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.319 the way down to South Carolina and the California as well, 467 00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.799 want to put up a whole bunch of them. Many cases, 468 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:40.279 they don't have leases for these and they're not going 469 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.279 to get them, so their energy plans to transition to 470 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.880 green energy are just put in a dumper. That was 471 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.480 the first big one. The second one as he issued 472 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.519 a executior called Unleashing American Energy, and in that he said, 473 00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.319 we're going to remove all promotions for electric vehicles, and 474 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:04.559 we're going to remove the electric vehicle tax credits and 475 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:06.680 all these other things. And we now have twenty two 476 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.920 states that I want to transition all their vehicle sales 477 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.680 to electric by twenty thirty five. So he's putting a 478 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.039 big crunch on that. And by the way, there's also 479 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.920 a bill in Congress right now that would add taxes 480 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.119 to electric vehicles on sales. Today, evs don't pay any 481 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.039 road tax really because that's all through gasoline for the 482 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:34.240 federal road programs. And nevertheless, though evs are on average 483 00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:38.680 more fifty heavier, yes, that's what I'm saying. 484 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.039 They are. They are causing damage to the road, maybe 485 00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:44.839 more like an eighteen wheeler, and yet they don't pay 486 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.680 any road tax to maintain that infrastructure. That's just crazy, 487 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.240 that's right. 488 00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.279 So not only they're going to eliminate and he's got 489 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.079 to get this through Congress, but they're working on it 490 00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.480 eliminate the seventy five hundred dollars tax credit, but they 491 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.519 also want to put one thousand dollars tax on an 492 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.640 EV's sale for road taxes. So those things, if they 493 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.599 get through, are going to have a tremendous impact. The 494 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.640 third is the funding for renewables. We have about eighty 495 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.319 billion dollars a year going on the Inflation Reduction Act 496 00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.759 for wind, solar and green hydrogen and carbon diox i 497 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:22.720 capture pipelines and all these EV charging stations. Trump has 498 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.839 put a stop on that. And we have places like 499 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:27.839 Indiana that that said, well, we're going to put up 500 00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:31.799 all these solar cells for poor people on the roofs, 501 00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:36.039 and that that funding has been shut off. So it's 502 00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.240 been challenged in court, but he's just put a stop 503 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.039 to that flow. So those are our big, big funding issues. 504 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.920 And then of course there are the climate changes as 505 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.720 well coming along. 506 00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:51.279 Yeah. I love the fact that you're not getting subsidized 507 00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:53.480 to buy a car that you we were going to 508 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:58.960 be forced to buy. And again, the reason, one of 509 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:02.640 the reasons I voted for Resident Trump was because of 510 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.319 his promise of this new energy policy for America going 511 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.279 forward and out of the Paris Climate Accords, out of 512 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:16.640 the cop stuff, just completely unleashing American energy. And we've 513 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:19.359 got so many natural resources, as the President has said 514 00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:22.319 over and over again, underneath our feet, liquid gold, in 515 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:28.279 clean natural gas and oil. We have enough to sustain 516 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.680 us and to provide that energy for around the world 517 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:36.000 if we're able to take the handcuffs off. And that's 518 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.400 exactly Due is trying to do. 519 00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.200 Yeah, and so they go ahead. 520 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.200 No, that's all I had at that particular point. 521 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.680 So big climate changes as well. He's basically taking climate 522 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.119 departments out of his administration, out of the EPA, out 523 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:57.160 of the Department of Energy. He issued a executive order 524 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.279 getting rid of the terminating the Green New Deal, withdrawing 525 00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.480 from the Paris Climate the Cords, and he even wants 526 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.240 the new head of the EPA, Lease deald In, to 527 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.640 take a look at the endangerment finding of December seven, 528 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.839 two thousand and nine, a date that will live in 529 00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.000 infamy when the EPA found that carbon dioxide and other 530 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:20.680 greenhouse gases were threatening the public health and welfare of 531 00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.799 current and future generations. He wants that to be revoked 532 00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:27.039 and that is the basis of all the green policies 533 00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.759 in the United States. So we'll see if the EPA 534 00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.839 is able to act on that. 535 00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:31.279 Well. 536 00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.519 Another reason, a lot of people said that the Biden 537 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:38.799 presidency was President Obama's third term because that was his 538 00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:43.519 big push when he took office in January of nine, 539 00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:49.079 and the EPA reflected that every president gets to at 540 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.279 least present his policy and the things he campaigned on, 541 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.119 and then hopefully they follow through with it. This president 542 00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.079 so far is batting a thousand on following through of 543 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.039 the things he promised on the campaign trail. 544 00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.119 Now, yeah, absolutely, the. 545 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:09.880 Funding for renewables, the Inflation Reduction Act, and you were 546 00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:14.039 talking about all these Green New Deal policies and moneies 547 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.359 that were set aside, not just in the Department of Energy, 548 00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:20.960 but throughout the federal government. And that is all going 549 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:27.839 away either by presidential executive order or Elon Musk and 550 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.839 his gang of doze who keep on finding ways that 551 00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:35.319 we've been taken to the cleaners by the bureaucracy for 552 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:38.200 the last I don't know, one hundred years. 553 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.599 Probably well, they they've stopped the flow of it and 554 00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.960 they're being challenged in court, and there's also efforts to 555 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.519 remove a lot of that in Congress. We'll see how 556 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.960 that goes. I think they're trying to get it all 557 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.880 into this big budget proposal that they're trying to work out. 558 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.000 But you know, we had a lot of people that 559 00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:59.920 are opposing that. There were just eighty ent of these 560 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.559 the other day, that including a whole bunch of oil companies, 561 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:09.519 including the American Petroleum Institute, who said we need all 562 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.000 these subsidies for green hydrogen. They want to they're supposed 563 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.480 to get three dollars a kilogram. And by the way, 564 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.519 the market price for on site hydrogen meat from oiler 565 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.400 gas is a dollar a kilogram. So here's a subsidy 566 00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.680 that's triple the actual market price on site. That's what 567 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.599 the Biden administration put into place. It's just like subsidizing 568 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:34.960 four dollar gasolina twelve dollars a gallon. 569 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:36.000 Did you ever hear. 570 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.759 Anything so crazy? But anyway, you know, all these firms 571 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:41.200 want these big subsidies. We'll see what Trump does with this, 572 00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.400 and hopefully he will shut these down as well. 573 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.680 I'll tell you what. We'll talk about some of the 574 00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.839 breakdown that's already occurring with bankruptcies and such. In just 575 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.559 a moment after a break Steve Gorham on the night Cap, 576 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.640 the Green breakdown. It's happening right before our eyes, and 577 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.480 really it's been spurred on by President Trump, but it 578 00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.839 was going to occur whether he was in office or not. 579 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.160 We'll talk about that and more in just a moment 580 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:11.799 on seven hundred WLW. 581 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.119 So I went to the bowling alley with my friend 582 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:16.240 short Steve. 583 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:18.200 Why are you making fun of your friends type? 584 00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.319 I'm not making fun of Why do you hate I don't. 585 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:22.400 He's taller than I am. 586 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.079 You're no, I'm not. 587 00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.400 Sometimes it feels like it's not safe to say anything, 588 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:33.440 but not with Eddie and Rockey. They want to hear 589 00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:34.559 what you have to say. 590 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.079 We think it's important for. 591 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.720 Everyone to be heard. Eddie and Rockey. Tomorrow afternoon three. 592 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.400 On seven hundred WLW. 593 00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:44.640 Tony Pike here when it comes to a first class experience, 594 00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:46.960 Cincinnati Cadillac sets the standard. 595 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.680 It comes to energy in America and the Trump era 596 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.200 executive director of the Climate Science Coalition, author of Green 597 00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:58.680 breakdown and much much more. Steve Gorum here on the show, 598 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.480 and I wanted to ask you sent me some details 599 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:09.960 about another you know, green company so called going belly up. Nicola, 600 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.840 the electric truck manufacturer, just filed for bankruptcy last week. 601 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:18.159 Are there are there more of these? Do you see 602 00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:20.119 on the horizon coming up? Steve? 603 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.119 Yeah, there are a lot of these firms are dependent 604 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:27.159 on federal money. Yeah, Nicola was when it went public 605 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.320 five years ago, it was belled a thirty billion dollars 606 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:34.800 and now it's a penny stock. It has dropped all 607 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.760 the way to nothing. They were trying to do hydrogen 608 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:41.599 trucks as well as electric trucks. They've only got four 609 00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.960 hundred on the road last year, and they're just losing 610 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.480 piles of money. And finally they said, well, we're going 611 00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:49.559 to declare bankruptcy, which means a lot of these people 612 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:51.880 that that invested in them are going to lose their money. 613 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.480 And they're hoping they emerge from bankruptcy court. But another 614 00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.239 big problem. So so we'll see if they're able to 615 00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:03.440 do that the UH and another big one on the 616 00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.559 way is Rivian. In December, the Biden administration approved six 617 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:12.440 point six billion dollar loan to Rivian Automotive to build 618 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:16.880 a manufacturing plant in Georgia. Wow, this is another one 619 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:18.039 that's going to make. 620 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:22.239 Well. 621 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.880 I'm trying to think of the company that went bankrupt 622 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:27.320 a few years ago and made all of the news. 623 00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.039 That was only six hundred millillion. 624 00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:31.679 You're talking about Solendra. 625 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:33.039 Solendra, thank you. 626 00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:33.719 Yeah. 627 00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.400 Yeah, that was a big loan, six hundred million dollars 628 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.360 down the drain. Well, this is is six point six 629 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:43.440 billion dollars to Rivian. Rivian has never made a profit. 630 00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:45.960 Last year they lost about four hundred million on four 631 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.840 hundred million in sales. I mean, it's just uh, and 632 00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.559 there are more of these companies that are going another 633 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:55.719 one of these EP charging companies EV charging companies. There's 634 00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.639 not a single one in the world that has ever 635 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:04.440 made money. Uh. They they're all losing money. And you 636 00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:09.239 just can't break even trying to charge a EV because 637 00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:11.679 most people that are charging at home about eighty percent, 638 00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:14.559 and so occasionally they'll show up and do some charging, 639 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:19.800 but they want to build these charging stations all over 640 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.880 So we're gonna have a whole bunch of bankruptcies there 641 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:26.599 By the way, the General Services Administration, the GSA of 642 00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:32.440 the federal government is about to shut down eight thousand 643 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:35.559 EV charging stations. They were going to put them in 644 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:37.719 place for the post office and all these people that 645 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.239 are in the government that we're supposed to be doing 646 00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:45.159 evs and the subsidies of dollars for it are gone, 647 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:47.519 so they can't keep these things going. They can't get 648 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:51.880 them installed. We're going to see just a big rash 649 00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:57.199 of companies failing that are green equipment companies, charging companies, 650 00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:58.079 all that sort of thing. 651 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.519 Well, you talk about all these addicts who insisted that 652 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.239 this had to happen to reverse or turn around climate 653 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.480 change and the crisis we were all facing based on 654 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:14.360 their flawed data and models that we're always wrong. But 655 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.679 this would have happened eventually with or without Trump, because 656 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.559 it's the old adage, it's the economy stupid. They never 657 00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:28.920 make money, and we who are consumers wind up paying 658 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:33.159 a lot more for less efficient energy. Is that true 659 00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:33.480 or not? 660 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:36.159 I think it is, And that's what I talk about 661 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.159 in Green Breakdown, which is a complete discussion of the 662 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:44.079 proposed transition to net zero energy that talks about power 663 00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.079 plants and home appliances. You know, they wanted to get 664 00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:51.920 rid of the gas appliances, electric vehicles, heavy industry, heavy transportation, 665 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.480 of the energy crisis in Europe over the last few years, 666 00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:59.960 and points out that zero is more than a reach, 667 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.079 it's an impossibility. It's not going to occur. And what 668 00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:09.840 green energy means is higher energy prices, electricity blackouts because 669 00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.599 they're putting in intermittent wind and solar, less freedom because 670 00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.400 they want to take away your car and your home appliance, 671 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.000 replace it with something that's electric, and then these energy 672 00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.280 shocks people are going to demand to return the low cost, 673 00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:26.719 reliable energy. In the book, I predicted this would take 674 00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:30.039 a few decades, and I think it still will because 675 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.039 there's so much investment and so much entrenchment by the 676 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.159 leaders of the world and others in the green transition. 677 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:41.159 But twenty twenty five could be the first year that 678 00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:44.559 Doom's green energy. We could see the start of the 679 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.639 start of the rollback. So really big things happening right now. 680 00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.360 Well, there's so much money and so much effort and 681 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.800 so much I don't know, emotion that's been poured into 682 00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:01.039 this over the last twenty twenty five years. Basic predicated 683 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:06.320 on the lie that CO two was turning our planet 684 00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:10.000 into an inhospitable place, and that we were going to 685 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.920 all die and the Earth was going to be barren 686 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:19.119 because of this climate catastrophe that was looming. And yet 687 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.639 the Earth is greening at a rate that we haven't 688 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:27.840 seen in a long, long time. All of the If 689 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:30.920 you look at the Heritage Foundation and the CO two 690 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:36.679 coalition's actual numbers on Arctic ice and glacial ice and 691 00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.199 rising sea levels, it's simply not there. All the dire 692 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:44.360 predictions are coming unwound right before our very eyes with 693 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:49.559 the truth. So and when we've had like another one 694 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.599 of these boon doggles, these Green New Deal boon doggles, 695 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.320 what was it eight billion dollars to build I don't know, 696 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:02.239 half a million or so electric chargers and they built seven. 697 00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:05.360 They built seven with the eight billion dollars, and now 698 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.440 there's snow money left for the rest. Where did that 699 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.119 money goes? Where did that money go? We don't know. 700 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.920 Yeah, you mentioned some of the predictions. They are amazing. 701 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.880 There were predictions that we wouldn't have any ice in 702 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:21.679 the Arctic in the summer, that those are all false. 703 00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:25.199 The United Nations predicted we'd have fifty million climate refugees. 704 00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:30.000 By twenty ten, while they revived that was in their website, 705 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.559 they took that out of the website. We had a 706 00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:36.519 guy by the name of doctor David Viner in the 707 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:39.800 United Kingdom said that children just aren't going to know 708 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:42.000 what snow is, you know. So, how did that work 709 00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.519 this winter that was back in two thousand. Yeah, I 710 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:46.039 think we got plenty of snow. Matter of fact, we 711 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:49.360 had one day a week back or so when it 712 00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.519 was below thirty two degrees in all in forty nine 713 00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:56.519 of the fifty states in the United States, Hawaii was 714 00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:58.320 the only one where it didn't get down to thirty 715 00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:02.360 two degrees. But so, yeah, the predictions are wrong and 716 00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.840 people don't remember those, you know, they see the current 717 00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:09.159 headlines and they don't remember all the fallacies of the past. 718 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:10.480 You know. 719 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.480 That's one of the problems is that we have such 720 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:18.559 a short attention span as a population that you know, 721 00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.519 the next big headline and we're like a what Russia 722 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.440 Limbo used to call it the drive by media because 723 00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:29.679 most people when it comes to getting their news and information, 724 00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:31.719 there are a lot more platforms now, and there's a 725 00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:35.159 lot more choice, which is a good thing, but it's 726 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:39.440 so of the moment, like what's the news now, and 727 00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:42.800 then fifteen minutes later you forgot what the news now was, 728 00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:48.239 and it just piles on. I understand that very well. 729 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:53.480 Yeah, climate is complex too. It's difficult for people to understand, 730 00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:56.320 and a lot of what they're reading the press. Probably 731 00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:58.760 if you read any article, it's got wrong things in 732 00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:02.679 it about the climate. But this is all going to crunch. 733 00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:04.320 We may go into a period of a couple of 734 00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:07.000 decades of cooling. It has been warming, but it's very 735 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.320 possible it could change. Very difficult to predict what's going 736 00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:11.119 on in the future. 737 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:16.960 But over overall, Steve Gorm, the warming that has been 738 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.719 predicted and the warming that's actually happened, it's very minuscule. 739 00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:26.039 The warming that's happened over the last hundred two hundred years, 740 00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:27.440 isn't it. 741 00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:29.800 As far below the models? Yeah, the models are predictingly 742 00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.880 much higher warming. We've had one degree of a one 743 00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:36.360 degree celsius at warming in one hundred and forty years 744 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:42.519 since we've had thermometers, very gentle and actually it's been 745 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:44.119 good for the planet. I mean, if you look at 746 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:48.320 all the numbers, people do better in warm temperatures. We 747 00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.920 get more deaths in the winter, we get more people 748 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:55.559 get sick in the winter, more COVID nineteen cases in 749 00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:58.760 the winter. A number of people pointed out that if 750 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:00.320 we have a little bit of warming, will have a 751 00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:03.519 lot less people die. It's really better and it's better 752 00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:07.400 for the better the crops as well. So the histeria 753 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.079 is just kind of goofy and its way off base. 754 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:14.800 Yet fear is a powerful motivator and it's captured many people, 755 00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:19.119 and the ideology of climatism is powerful. We just have 756 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:21.400 to work on it over time to get back to 757 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:22.400 something that's sensible. 758 00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:26.440 The climate situation is one of those issues that President 759 00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:30.320 Trump has focused on of the many issues he's focused 760 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:33.159 on in his first month or so. But it is 761 00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:37.559 another one where people want the choice of what kind 762 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:40.159 of energy they want to use. They don't want to 763 00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:43.119 be told that they have to use this or that. 764 00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:46.159 And that's in poll after poll after polled, by a 765 00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:50.800 large majority, people think that you should have your own 766 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:56.360 decision to make on whether you use gas, natural, gas electric. 767 00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:02.079 And you know, with the oncoming AI race that is 768 00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:04.840 underway right now, we're going to need a whole lot 769 00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:09.320 more energy that wind and solar cannot provide. 770 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:14.760 Yes, we are the there's talk of all these data 771 00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:17.880 center using up to twenty percent of our electrical supply 772 00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:23.000 within a decade, and states like Virginia and Texas just 773 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:26.119 don't know how to get there, and so they want 774 00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:28.440 to build nuclear plants which take a long long time. 775 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:30.440 We have a lot of gas plants that are being 776 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.039 built about two hundred and in planning or construction right now. 777 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:35.599 That's going to be the big winner, even though it 778 00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:39.159 doesn't get the press and wind and solar just really 779 00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.199 can't hack it. You know, if you're in Hawaii, it's great. 780 00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.360 It's windy and it doesn't have any pipelines, and you 781 00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.280 get a lot of solar there. But if you're in 782 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.400 if you're in Ohio or New York, then you got 783 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.320 to rely on traditional, reliable energy. 784 00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.840 Tough toenails, Tommy, Steve Gorham, thank you very much.

Garret Jeff, I'm next 872 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:23.880 excited about this. A guy who was on President Reagan's 873 00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.280 National Security Council in White House staff. He's got a 874 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.679 new book coming out in just about three weeks March eighteenth, 875 00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:37.719 called inside the Reagan White House and to talk about 876 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:41.239 that and to talk about what's going on now, especially 877 00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:45.039 with the Russian Ukraine War and the current negotiations that 878 00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:47.440 are going on in the back and forth with Donald 879 00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:53.199 Trump and even the Russians Vladimir Putin. Hopefully the Ukrainians 880 00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:56.920 get involved in this since there are definitely two sides 881 00:49:56.960 --> 00:50:00.440 to this conflict. Frank Lavin, how are you, Frank. 882 00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:03.440 Jerry Jeff, Thanks for having me on. I'm great, I'm 883 00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:04.119 great at it good. 884 00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:04.280 You know. 885 00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:05.239 I'm an Ohio boy. 886 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:07.440 I'm really born and grew up in Campton on the 887 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:09.760 north side of the state, so a little bit, a 888 00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:12.480 little bit outside the radio broadcast of BILW. 889 00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:14.320 But it's great to be back home, so to speak. 890 00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:16.639 We listen, We're on on a Monday night, and if 891 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:20.679 it's clear, I believe it is that signals booming right 892 00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:23.159 into Canton. Anybody you want to see, anybody you want 893 00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:25.119 to shout out to, I'll. 894 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:26.679 Say, how did my my mom still live in the 895 00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:27.800 family home in Canton? 896 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:28.440 So how about that? 897 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:29.519 Ninety seven years old? 898 00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:33.599 So good God, bless God, bless her. That's excellent, that's awesome. 899 00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:38.159 So I got to ask you first without giving away 900 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:41.920 too much of the book. Inside the Reagan White House, 901 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:47.719 it was. It was a different time, but we're seeing 902 00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:51.480 some parallels today with the reason that Ronald Reagan was 903 00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:54.960 elected and the reason Donald Trump was elected, although the 904 00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:58.880 men have definite different styles. I got to tell you, 905 00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:03.400 my wife and I absolutely adored the Reagan movie with 906 00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:05.679 Dennis Quaid. What what did you think of that? Did you 907 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:07.440 think that was a true representation. 908 00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:12.719 I think it's very evocative. He's fundamentally a genial guy. 909 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:14.119 He tried to. 910 00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:18.480 Manage to connect people by being approachable and friendly. So 911 00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:20.960 that's a very powerful you know, let a smile be 912 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.519 your umbrella, and it's a very powerful way of building relationships. 913 00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:27.079 But yet he had a vision, he had a goal, 914 00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:29.800 he had a purpose. He wasn't there just to be 915 00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:32.239 everybody's friend. He was there to help take the country 916 00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:34.920 ahead and how to tackle some big problems that we're 917 00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:36.320 in front of us. And you're right, there are some 918 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:37.599 parallels with today. 919 00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:43.599 Well, yeah, I mean you believe that the US has 920 00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:47.639 to and no one has talked about abandoning Ukraine at all, 921 00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:52.199 but we have seen so much money go there for 922 00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:58.559 as dubious things like you know, paying the pension of 923 00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:04.239 government employees Ukraine and all of that under the guise 924 00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:08.079 of helping them fight off Vladimir Putin and the Russians. 925 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.079 Ronald Reagan had a certain alliance building kind of strategy 926 00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:17.719 that strengthened our influence around the world. Why is it 927 00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:21.719 important that we continue to support Ukraine even if Europe 928 00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:26.639 isn't all in as they should be. And there's obviously 929 00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:30.320 corruption in Ukraine and that government as well. We know 930 00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.239 that from the dealings with with Joe Biden and Hunter 931 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:37.440 Biden and all all of that. It is it is 932 00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.599 not as easy, It's not as clear cut as some 933 00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:42.639 other situations globally, is it. 934 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:44.360 Yeah. 935 00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:48.440 I well, first, Russia is the aggressive Russia invaded Ukraine. 936 00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:50.920 So whatever problems would have with Ukraine or whatever problems 937 00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:54.679 we're going to have with other European countries building there 938 00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:58.199 is there's one country to precipitated all that, and that 939 00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:01.480 is Vladimir Putin. And the other troubling element of this 940 00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:04.119 for US, Gary, Jeff is the countries that are back. 941 00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.320 And I think you've made some comments about our coalition. 942 00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:07.400 So to speak. 943 00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:10.559 To look at Moscow's calls, is Vladimir's coalition. He's got 944 00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:13.760 China financing it as his largest trading partner. He's got 945 00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:17.880 North Korean troops in the field exactly in combat, and 946 00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:22.199 he's got Iran surplying drones. So we've got this sort 947 00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:25.639 of access of evil if you will, in there, fight 948 00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:29.199 in the fight. So we can't always pick or choose 949 00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.400 or manage our coalition as well as we'd want, But boy, 950 00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:36.119 Vladimir's got his coalition as Wellither there's no doubt in 951 00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:39.800 anybody's mind that if Russia scores a win, or China 952 00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:42.400 scores a win, or Iran a North Korea scores a 953 00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:44.000 win out of Ukraine, it is. 954 00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:45.000 Bad for the US. 955 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:49.360 Yeah, well China is now. We heard today that China 956 00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.800 is coming to the negotiations table along with Russia and 957 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:57.679 the US for some kind of solution. Now the war 958 00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.119 you would agree, anyone would agree that the war has 959 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:04.800 to end, and it has to end soon. This has 960 00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:08.960 gone on for three years. There's no reason for it 961 00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:11.480 to continue with all of the death and destruction. 962 00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:14.199 Yeah, but there's only one reason there's a war, and 963 00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:17.800 that's platim repute invaded. You wanted to end. But there's 964 00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:19.800 one easy way to stop it. Ways just to have him, 965 00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.440 have him stop the war. So Ukraine is, Ukraine is 966 00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:26.239 fighting a defensive board. They made one incursion near Curse. 967 00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:29.280 They you know, threw a punch into Russia their curse, 968 00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:32.119 but they're basically the war is almost one hundred percent 969 00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:36.239 on Ukraine. Ukraine cities being bombed, Ukraine civilians being bombed, 970 00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:39.320 Ukraine economy being disrupted. So, boy, there's one guy that 971 00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:40.960 started this and he can sure end it. 972 00:54:41.320 --> 00:54:44.119 Well, I mean, outside of him just saying, you know, 973 00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:46.800 I was kidding, We're going to withdraw all the troops 974 00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:49.360 and we're not going to attack anymore. How do we 975 00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:51.199 get that? How do we get him to stop? 976 00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.039 No, that's a fair point because now Putin's painted himself 977 00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:57.880 into a corner. He's invested so much of his country's 978 00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:00.920 treasure and he's got like a million casualties out of 979 00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.320 this thing, more Russians killed any time since World War 980 00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:07.599 Two under Peutin. So he's done enormous damage to Russia. 981 00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:09.719 Now he can't just say, well, I made a mistake. 982 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:12.719 He's got to be able to say to his people, well, 983 00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:15.119 we did this and we got something out of it. 984 00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:17.639 Although I don't think he necessarily did get anything out 985 00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:19.679 of it, and he certainly didn't have to do it. 986 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:22.119 But he picked a fight and he's. 987 00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:23.719 Gotten a bloody nose out of this, and now he's 988 00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:26.239 trying to salve but some kind of dignity or some 989 00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:29.039 kind of moderate success out of this so he can 990 00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:31.280 save his neck with his own people. 991 00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:34.400 As my view, well, he took over Crimea back when 992 00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:40.679 Barack Obama was president and took took the attack to Akraine, 993 00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:45.639 Ukraine and invaded Ukraine. Will president Bible was president, right, 994 00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:49.119 we don't we don't have either one of those obstacles 995 00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:52.400 and how to peace because they're both out of office, 996 00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:53.159 thank god. 997 00:55:54.519 --> 00:55:56.559 Right, But wouldn't it be but Gary Jeff, wouldn't it 998 00:55:56.599 --> 00:56:00.519 just be crazy irony if Donald Trump said, hey, Obama 999 00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:04.280 was right, he grabs putin grabs Ukraine and Obama shrugged 1000 00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:06.400 his shouldersays, well, I guess I can't do anything about it. 1001 00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:07.880 Wouldn't that be crazy if. 1002 00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.639 Trump says basically the same thing, Well, Vladimir, you got it. 1003 00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:13.880 You went and smashed and grabbed and got something, and 1004 00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:14.920 I guess there's nothing I can. 1005 00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:15.360 Do about it. 1006 00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:16.000 Well, they're large. 1007 00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.360 I would my advice to President Trump is, don't minimic Obama. 1008 00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:23.360 I don't think Obama handled this well. Don't replicate that guy. 1009 00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:25.840 Try to find some way to raise the cost for 1010 00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:28.159 Putin to have him think more about peace. 1011 00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:32.719 President Trump is the ultimate negotiation negotiator, wrote The Art 1012 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:37.119 of the Deal. Has practiced that to some great success 1013 00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.320 when he has people who aren't trying to stab him 1014 00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:43.119 in the back every time he turns around, which happened 1015 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:49.199 during the first administration. And I think that there has 1016 00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:52.159 to be some kind of Putin has to get something 1017 00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:56.480 out of it, because Ukraine is Ukraine. With our help, 1018 00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:59.719 with anybody else's help, whatever coalition has put together, is 1019 00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:01.559 never are going to put on the kind of military 1020 00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:04.119 pressure that's going to stop Vladimir Putin in a war 1021 00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.920 against Ukraine. And don't I don't know you as you. 1022 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:10.599 Know he began the war, he already had Crimea, and 1023 00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:13.519 he had some provinces in Eastern Ukraine who already had 1024 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:18.559 grab some stuff and put in his pocket. Yeah, you're 1025 00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:22.199 done by so to say, boy, we need to reward aggression. Look, 1026 00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.079 I think that I think we need to be very 1027 00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:25.679 very careful. You know, I've spent a lot of my 1028 00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:28.679 life here, Jeff, working on China issues. I told a friend, 1029 00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.360 our goal, our goal as Americans is six months after 1030 00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:34.559 however it's solved. However, peace does come, we hope soon. 1031 00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:38.360 Six months later, Shi Jinping is sitting now with his 1032 00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:43.360 lieutenants in Beijing, and he says to his deputy students, 1033 00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:46.760 an idiot, isn't he? We want the Chinese and the 1034 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:50.119 North Koreans and the Randians. Dod'll say, boy, the cost 1035 00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.440 succeeded the benefit of that one. We better not know 1036 00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:56.039 more monkey business. We don't need these adventures. We don't 1037 00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:58.760 want to go attack Taiwan. We don't want to have 1038 00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:01.760 other little experiments out there because we're just going to get. 1039 00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:02.280 A bloody nose. 1040 00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:05.280 We want them to take that home with them and 1041 00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:07.840 not develop an appetite for say, boy putin. You know, 1042 00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:09.400 he had a rough go. But he really got something 1043 00:58:09.440 --> 00:58:11.000 out of this. Let's go see if we can do 1044 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:14.119 it again. That would be a weakened position for the 1045 00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:14.880 United States. 1046 00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:18.320 All right, Well, I mean, how do you think things 1047 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:22.800 have changed, though, geopolitically and militarily since the Cold War 1048 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:24.559 when you were in the Reagan White House. 1049 00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:29.800 Well, you know, we left the Cold War with a 1050 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:33.599 high degree of cohesion among the West, the democratic countries 1051 00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:37.119 of Europe and Japan and Australia. 1052 00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:39.639 Other there were treaty allies and like minded nations, and 1053 00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.079 there was a sense of mission and a sense of purpose. 1054 00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:46.760 Now that faded considerably over the subsequent decades, in part 1055 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:49.440 because there was no immediate threat, but because the Soviet 1056 00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.840 Union did dissolve and a good chunk of the Warsaw 1057 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.800 Pac nations Poland joined the NATO. 1058 00:58:56.320 --> 00:58:57.440 East Germany became. 1059 00:58:57.199 --> 00:58:58.760 Part of West Germany. So a good part of what 1060 00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:02.199 had been pillars of my Oscow strength faded away or 1061 00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:06.960 moved away. So Europe's own commitments of defense and security 1062 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:10.119 dropped dramatically. And this is a point President Trump has made, 1063 00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:13.119 these guys aren't paying their own way, which I think 1064 00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:15.800 is a fair criticism. I still think we don't want 1065 00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:18.039 pune to have a victory, but as a fair critics 1066 00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:20.679 say Europe needs a heavy up on security if it 1067 00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:21.920 wants to be taken seriously. 1068 00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:24.360 Frank Lavin, I appreciate your time, and we will do 1069 00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:27.559 this again before March eighteenth, because I'm interested to talk 1070 00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:30.199 more about the book that's coming out Inside the Reagan 1071 00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:33.440 White House. You were there and it's a it's a 1072 00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:41.320 wonderful glimpse into the presidency that began my participation in 1073 00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:45.400 American elections. My first my first eligible election was nineteen 1074 00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:48.760 eighty and I voted for Ronald Reagan. I was great that, 1075 00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:49.760 greatly loved that. 1076 00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.239 That's a great story, Jerry Jeff, thanks for having me out. 1077 00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:53.239 That's a fabulous story. 1078 00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:56.760 Thanks so much, and we'll talk again soon. I thank 1079 00:59:56.800 --> 01:00:01.800 you so much. All Right, we have was coming up. 1080 01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:08.119 He's out running guns somewhere next on the nightcap. Last night, 1081 01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.440 I had another dream about Mike McConnell. Last night. 1082 01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:12.280 I dreamt my leg was made of fudge and a 1083 01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:14.079 group of hobos tried to hold me down. 1084 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:15.880 And lick it. If I had a fudge leg, I'd 1085 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:17.719 probably eat it for breakfast.

An 1153 01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:52.079 armed society is a polite society. Sure, and that's really true. 1154 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:55.320 Right now, there is a push and we had Savannah 1155 01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:59.599 Maddics on earlier tonight, who's a Kentucky legislator in the 1156 01:03:59.639 --> 01:04:05.800 state House, and she is pushing for constitutional carrie for 1157 01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:10.599 eighteen year olds in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and also 1158 01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:13.760 against the red flag laws that continue to circulate through 1159 01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:18.719 the legislators around the country in different states, depending on 1160 01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:21.760 where you're at, that gets a lot of traction In 1161 01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:27.039 Kentucky hopefully prayer Forlly not. But again we've talked about 1162 01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:30.800 this many times before, Dan, but explain a red flag 1163 01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:34.639 law so people aren't misled and think that this is 1164 01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:40.840 something that could stop someone who shouldn't have a gun 1165 01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.800 from owning one and using it. Why are red flag 1166 01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:49.039 laws so, I don't know, misdirected. 1167 01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:54.159 Well, they're probably twenty some state eighteen nineteen twenty state 1168 01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:57.199 something like that who have these red flag laws. 1169 01:04:57.199 --> 01:05:01.079 What they're called what they're called Extreme Risks Protection Orders, 1170 01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:03.400 So they name them that because they want you to 1171 01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:06.159 think that, you know, if you're under if you're under 1172 01:05:06.159 --> 01:05:11.079 extreme risk by these dangerous gun owners, and the protection 1173 01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:13.400 orders there to help keep you safe. You know, the 1174 01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:16.079 politicians want to make sure that everybody that they're keeping 1175 01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:19.360 everybody safe. What it really is, we call them red 1176 01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:21.880 flag laws, and what it really is is a gun 1177 01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:25.800 confiscation without due process, So a judge can sign off 1178 01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:31.559 on the confiscation of someone's guns, and the most often 1179 01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.880 based on nothing more than an accusation. 1180 01:05:35.639 --> 01:05:38.880 And sometimes they can be anonymous. 1181 01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:42.000 Accusations, where you know, somebody can deem you a threat. 1182 01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:46.159 To society and cops let judge and sign off cops 1183 01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:47.719 and come in and take your guns and figure it 1184 01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:48.199 out later. 1185 01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:49.519 Yeah, they don't. 1186 01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:51.639 They don't have to. They don't. They don't have to 1187 01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:54.679 prove or provide any evidence that you are a threat 1188 01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:58.559 to anyone. Just as hearsay. If you've got a neighbor 1189 01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:01.239 who doesn't particularly like the way you mow your lawn 1190 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:03.840 and he knows you've got guns, he could report you 1191 01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:07.320 in these states that you were threatening him and that 1192 01:06:07.480 --> 01:06:10.199 you have guns, and they could come out and confiscate 1193 01:06:10.199 --> 01:06:12.519 your guns without any hearing or anything. And then you've 1194 01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:15.800 got to go after the fact to prove your innocent, 1195 01:06:16.400 --> 01:06:19.159 which is a violation of your rights in this country. 1196 01:06:19.159 --> 01:06:22.760 As I understand it, you're you're innocent until proven guilty. 1197 01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:26.719 But this makes someone guilty without any proof at all. 1198 01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:28.440 Yeah. 1199 01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:31.159 Yeah, it's not only a violation of your Second Amendment, 1200 01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:34.599 it's a violation of your Fourth Amendment and your fourteenth Amendment. 1201 01:06:35.199 --> 01:06:41.760 You don't do for this, and then illegal teachers, so yeah, 1202 01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:43.360 so it's terrible. 1203 01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:43.960 And then what's the. 1204 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.360 Democrats really they would love to have a national red 1205 01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:50.760 flag law. We've managed to keep him, keep him at 1206 01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:54.519 bay for now, but they would love to have a 1207 01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:58.960 national red flag law. And serialization and registration of all 1208 01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:02.039 player arms, which is what they use. The ghost guns 1209 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:04.920 scare to try to do, try to scare everybody into 1210 01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:10.440 thinking that they need to support serialization. But serialization has 1211 01:07:10.440 --> 01:07:13.239 been you know, the homemade firearms has been a national 1212 01:07:13.239 --> 01:07:20.039 tradition since our founding, and there's no U the serialized 1213 01:07:20.039 --> 01:07:23.239 and everybody's numbers. Everybody's guns with serial numbers so you 1214 01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:25.679 can track them. So they would love to have those 1215 01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:29.480 two in place, so you could confiscate the guns through 1216 01:07:29.519 --> 01:07:33.719 red flag laws and UH be able to track them 1217 01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:37.280 down and locate them through the UH through the serialization 1218 01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:38.440 and registration. 1219 01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:43.519 Are there any new laws that you and your your 1220 01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:46.119 folks think are especially heinous that have come on the 1221 01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:48.320 books this year around the country. Have you been looking 1222 01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:51.679 at the new gun laws, because there are I know 1223 01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:56.679 a guy who puts out an annual book every January 1224 01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:00.239 and list the new gun laws in every state. I 1225 01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:04.880 don't know why we need more gun laws, but apparently 1226 01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:08.639 some legislators think we do. Is there anything you know 1227 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:15.000 that's cropped up. That makes you go, well, somebody's got 1228 01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.880 to stop that. What's going on in your home state 1229 01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:18.439 of New York. 1230 01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:22.760 Well, New York recently took not too long ago, took 1231 01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:27.880 the flarearmed background check from the federal government, which is 1232 01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:31.600 where it was protected, your information was protected from being 1233 01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:34.760 put on a gun registry. Well, New York State Kathy 1234 01:08:34.840 --> 01:08:40.640 Hopel decided that she wanted to take that background check 1235 01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.000 in house to the state Police department, where there's no 1236 01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:47.199 controls over what they do with that list of gun owners. 1237 01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:51.520 So we can only assume that she is collecting creating 1238 01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:53.960 a gun registry in the state of New York. Not 1239 01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:59.119 only that, while taking that the gun the flarearmed background 1240 01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:02.159 checks in house to the state police department, base also 1241 01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:06.319 created an ammunition background check. So you go and buy 1242 01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:08.640 a bullet and you're going to be put on a 1243 01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:11.720 list in New York. So we're fighting against that stuff. 1244 01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:18.880 Joe Biden encouraged the ATF to create what's called zero 1245 01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:27.000 tolerance policy, which means that gun dealers, you know, firearm retailers, 1246 01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:29.640 if the slightest mistake on paperwork and they can get 1247 01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:33.920 their license to sell revoked. So that was the zero 1248 01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:38.359 tolerance policy. Now we've got new people in Trump's cabinet, 1249 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:42.000 and we've got new people in these organizations, these agencies, 1250 01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:44.720 and we're starting to turn some of that stuff around. 1251 01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:48.600 So I think a GPAM BONDI is going to do 1252 01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:52.479 some pretty good stuff reorganizing and get rid of some 1253 01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:55.640 of the gun grabbers out of the atf. 1254 01:09:56.079 --> 01:10:02.439 Well, freedom is not free, and uh, we must maintain 1255 01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:05.760 our liberty dan at all costs. And the Second Amendment 1256 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:08.039 of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights is a 1257 01:10:08.079 --> 01:10:11.520 big part of that liberty. It's a big part of 1258 01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:16.079 why this country even exists. And uh, I'm glad that 1259 01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.159 you're fighting a good fight every day getting the word out. 1260 01:10:19.239 --> 01:10:22.600 Well, I mean it's the most important one because without 1261 01:10:23.119 --> 01:10:27.600 our guns, we don't have anything. We don't have any freedoms, 1262 01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:30.079 and that's the only thing that keeps these keeps these 1263 01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:34.640 tyrants under control. And they we have to remind them 1264 01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:37.239 who they work for.

That was so 1387 01:17:12.800 --> 01:17:14.159 incredibly heinous? Shane? 1388 01:17:14.199 --> 01:17:19.640 I gotta know, Well, probably the one thing is I 1389 01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:22.800 broke a window and people are like, why did you 1390 01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:23.520 break a window? 1391 01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:26.199 And why did I had a tomahawk on me? 1392 01:17:26.279 --> 01:17:28.199 And so people are always like, well, why would you 1393 01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:31.119 It was a people peaceful process, Why would you carry tomahawk? 1394 01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:33.279 And I would take people back? They had rallies before 1395 01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:36.880 January the sixth, and people had been stabbed and jumped 1396 01:17:36.920 --> 01:17:40.000 and robbed, and the people that were organizing this event 1397 01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:43.479 said be prepared because they expect Antifa and blm UH 1398 01:17:44.159 --> 01:17:47.000 members to be infiltrating the crowd dressed as Trump supporters, 1399 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:48.760 So protect yourself. 1400 01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:50.720 So that's why everybody came. 1401 01:17:51.159 --> 01:17:54.560 Somewhat with pepper spray or the dow rod is a 1402 01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:57.560 flagstick or whatever. That's why I had tomahawks. 1403 01:17:58.119 --> 01:18:02.720 Was something happened, was your into Shane Jenkins to overthrow 1404 01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:07.560 the federal government, to take over Congress? Was What was 1405 01:18:07.640 --> 01:18:10.239 the goal? What was the thing that you hoped to 1406 01:18:10.319 --> 01:18:14.239 accomplish by protesting the twenty twenty election in Washington, d C. 1407 01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:18.600 On January sixth, Well, my goal was just to exercise 1408 01:18:18.680 --> 01:18:21.479 my First Amendment right and to protest. But the thing 1409 01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:23.760 that I wanted is I had a lot of questions 1410 01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:26.039 about the twenty twenty elections. Still have a lot of 1411 01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:27.920 questions about the twenty twenty elections. 1412 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:30.079 I wanted, yeah, I want. 1413 01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:33.560 I wanted Mike Fans to send it back to the states, 1414 01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:36.600 any states that had questions or that the questionable videos 1415 01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:40.880 that showed suspect things at best being released I wanted 1416 01:18:40.880 --> 01:18:43.920 them to send those electors back to the States from 1417 01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:46.239 January sixth, to give them about a ten day period 1418 01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:49.119 to do conduct an investigation. And if it came back 1419 01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:51.479 and they said Donald Trump lost and this may have 1420 01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:53.680 looked this way, but this is what really happened, and 1421 01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:56.000 Donald Trump lost, then I could accept that. But I 1422 01:18:56.039 --> 01:19:01.479 felt like they owed the American people the respect to 1423 01:19:01.520 --> 01:19:05.119 provide us like a small investigation and if we lose, 1424 01:19:05.159 --> 01:19:08.359 I can accept that, but I'll if you lose the 1425 01:19:08.359 --> 01:19:12.640 faith of in the integrity of the elections, and that's 1426 01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:14.560 a dangerous place to be in because then you have 1427 01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:17.600 selections and not elections. And I just there was too 1428 01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:18.760 much going on that night. 1429 01:19:19.159 --> 01:19:22.840 Well, and there's two reasons that they have fought back 1430 01:19:22.920 --> 01:19:27.319 so hard, they being the establishment and mostly Democrats, but 1431 01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:31.279 others have fought back so hard against the January sixth 1432 01:19:31.279 --> 01:19:36.119 protests and against people who say the outcome was fraudulent 1433 01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:40.439 in twenty twenty. The first reason is what you just stated, 1434 01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:44.159 if people lose faith in the integrity of our elections, 1435 01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:49.199 then we devolve into total chaos. The second reason that 1436 01:19:49.239 --> 01:19:52.960 they would do it, I'm just conjecturing here is because 1437 01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:57.439 they really have a lot to hide. I think both 1438 01:19:57.439 --> 01:20:02.920 of those things are at play. And had a guy 1439 01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:09.239 who was fighting the election and integrity fraud in Pennsylvania 1440 01:20:09.760 --> 01:20:12.920 and he's been on the guest, a guy named Gregory Stenstrom, 1441 01:20:13.239 --> 01:20:19.600 and he proved in court just last year that the 1442 01:20:20.279 --> 01:20:24.560 election in a judge agreed the election in Pennsylvania was 1443 01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:30.079 filled with fraud and that the outcome was not the 1444 01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:33.399 correct outcome in that state, and that one state alone 1445 01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:36.560 made a huge difference, as you remember in that twenty 1446 01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:37.279 twenty election. 1447 01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:42.079 Where are you from, Shane, I'm from Texas, And you 1448 01:20:42.119 --> 01:20:44.600 know that's the concerning party. You mentioned that one state, 1449 01:20:44.680 --> 01:20:48.680 and these were very fine margins. You're talking about like 1450 01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:52.159 ten thousand votes, yes, So which could I mean, it's 1451 01:20:52.199 --> 01:20:55.359 not that's in votes that I mean states that cast 1452 01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:58.439 millions of votes, and it's ten thousand one way or 1453 01:20:58.439 --> 01:21:00.560 the other. That I mean, I think you've got to 1454 01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:02.720 look at that because that could swing the election either way. 1455 01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:05.479 So I talked to another young lady who also was 1456 01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:09.479 arrested and sat in jail for months after January sixth, 1457 01:21:09.800 --> 01:21:14.600 and she also broke a window, which according to the 1458 01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:19.399 laws on the books, is a misdemeanor, and I don't 1459 01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:23.199 think comes with any jail time like in Washington, d C. 1460 01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:26.520 I bet there are a lot of people who break 1461 01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:33.880 windows committing burglary or other associated crimes, and I bet 1462 01:21:33.920 --> 01:21:36.439 they're not in prison if they get caught for breaking 1463 01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:39.479 the window for four years or fourteen hundred how many 1464 01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:45.800 ever days you were in this slammer. It's the It 1465 01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:52.000 is the miscarriage of justice to the extreme to make 1466 01:21:52.039 --> 01:21:55.159 a political point, and it has nothing to do with 1467 01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:58.840 actual anything based in the law. And you know what 1468 01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:02.000 you talk about, people lose faith in the integrity of elections. 1469 01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:05.840 When people lose faith in the rule of law and 1470 01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:11.159 how it is unequally applied or has been in our society, 1471 01:22:11.720 --> 01:22:15.640 that also can be a path to the stigion, pits 1472 01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:18.000 of hell and chaos in a country. And and it 1473 01:22:18.079 --> 01:22:19.920 seems like we were on the path of both of 1474 01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:26.880 those things at the time of your arrest. Now, so 1475 01:22:27.079 --> 01:22:30.239 you had a tomahawk? What they what they did they 1476 01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:34.000 charge you with possessing a a lethal weapon or what 1477 01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:36.359 was that added on to your file of misery? 1478 01:22:37.479 --> 01:22:37.640 Right? 1479 01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:40.479 Yeah, so they did charge me that I didn't get 1480 01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:41.960 to the rest of the parts is of it. I 1481 01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:46.000 did have assaults on on alleged federal officers. But here's 1482 01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.960 the deal. I've watched people be brutalized. Then I went 1483 01:22:50.000 --> 01:22:52.600 to inspect. That's why I broke the windows. Lots of 1484 01:22:52.680 --> 01:22:54.439 people get beat and I was like, if they're getting 1485 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:56.800 the crap beat out of them, why don't we just 1486 01:22:56.880 --> 01:22:59.159 go in this window, like the window can be replaced. 1487 01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:01.560 Like we knew that people were being let in on 1488 01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:03.199 the other side, why don't we just go through the 1489 01:23:03.199 --> 01:23:05.720 window that way, they're not assaulting police officers or whatever 1490 01:23:05.760 --> 01:23:08.600 trying to get in. But the people that I saw 1491 01:23:08.640 --> 01:23:11.039 getting hurt weren't doing anything and they were being assaulted. 1492 01:23:11.119 --> 01:23:13.439 So after I hit the window. 1493 01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:15.039 The crowd was like, no, no, we don't do that. 1494 01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:17.159 So I was like, Okay, well what I'm gonna do 1495 01:23:17.199 --> 01:23:18.479 is I'm going to go up to the front line 1496 01:23:18.479 --> 01:23:20.680 where I saw these people getting hurt after that, and 1497 01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:23.199 went up there. Before I even got up to the 1498 01:23:23.199 --> 01:23:26.840 front line, I was pepper sprayed four times. So I 1499 01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:29.960 turned my back on the officers and started working my 1500 01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:33.279 way through the crowd backwards, And when I finally got 1501 01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:35.920 up to the police line, I was struck by a 1502 01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:38.920 commander Backshaw on the top of the head with an 1503 01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:42.239 extendable baton for doing nothing. I mean, I couldn't even 1504 01:23:42.239 --> 01:23:45.920 see him. I never took direct action against the police. 1505 01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:49.439 And that's the same officer who beat Victoria White and 1506 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:52.439 about the head, like over the head thirty two times 1507 01:23:52.479 --> 01:23:55.239 with the same extendable ass and it was sad. I mean, 1508 01:23:55.279 --> 01:23:57.960 I've seen the video and it is absolutely horrific what 1509 01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:00.760 they did to that woman. And she never not once 1510 01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:03.720 raised a finger against any officer. And I don't know 1511 01:24:03.760 --> 01:24:06.079 if it was because she was wearing a Maga hat 1512 01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:09.359 that he was triggered, but he honed in on her 1513 01:24:09.439 --> 01:24:11.039 and just went after her. And I feel like I 1514 01:24:11.079 --> 01:24:12.720 was just collateral damage. 1515 01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:13.880 Of her being. 1516 01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:18.159 And so after that happened, I went out of the tunnel. 1517 01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:21.840 I couldn't see her breathe. And then somebody got on 1518 01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:25.199 a loud speaker on a megaphone and said, my dad 1519 01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:28.119 just texted me. His name was Ryan Nichols, also January 1520 01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:30.840 sixth er. He said, my dad just texted me and 1521 01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:34.399 they shot an unarmed protester inside the Capitol. And when 1522 01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:37.079 they told me that, I yeah, I actually bad it. 1523 01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:40.079 I had been I had watched people be assaulted, I 1524 01:24:40.119 --> 01:24:42.960 had been assaulted Victoria White had been assaulted and I 1525 01:24:43.079 --> 01:24:45.000 come out and now they've told me they've killed somebody 1526 01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:47.279 inside the Capitol. And on top of it all up, 1527 01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:50.520 I felt like they're stealing an election. And so at 1528 01:24:50.520 --> 01:24:53.279 that point I lost my cool and I started throwing 1529 01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:56.079 sticks and what pieces of a crutch or desk or 1530 01:24:56.079 --> 01:24:58.239 whatever's like laying on the ground, just refuse that I 1531 01:24:58.279 --> 01:25:01.239 picked up off the ground. Nothing tomahawk, nothing like that. 1532 01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:06.279 But I threw at the fully protected riot gear, face mask, helmets, 1533 01:25:06.319 --> 01:25:09.439 shoulder pads, riot police. I threw them in their vicinity. 1534 01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:12.880 No officer identified me as hurting them. Nobody suffered any 1535 01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:17.239 bodily injury from anything I did. But the prosecutor asked 1536 01:25:17.279 --> 01:25:21.239 for two hundred and thirty two months for me in prison, 1537 01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:25.199 and they gave me eighty four months. 1538 01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:28.199 Micah, And how much of that did you? Did you 1539 01:25:28.239 --> 01:25:30.439 serve every bit of that or how much did you serve? 1540 01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:33.560 I served forty six and a half months. 1541 01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:36.760 Now, that's too that's too long, it's too long. 1542 01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:40.880 Fourteen and eighteen days of a long, long stretch. And 1543 01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:44.800 in those days in the DC jail, they denied us 1544 01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:48.279 because we we were vaccine hesitant as well. I would 1545 01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:51.319 say they were trying to make us get the vaccine, 1546 01:25:51.359 --> 01:25:53.439 and they we wouldn't get it, And so they denied 1547 01:25:53.439 --> 01:25:56.119 his visitation with our family for two years, They denied 1548 01:25:56.119 --> 01:26:01.279 his haircuts for two years, and they also deny religious. 1549 01:26:00.840 --> 01:26:01.840 Services for two years. 1550 01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:05.119 And those are all basic human rights as well as 1551 01:26:05.399 --> 01:26:07.039 under the constitutions, they're supposed to be. 1552 01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:10.840 Yeah, they're able to do those they're constitutional rights, and 1553 01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:14.279 they're guaranteed by God and supposed to be backed up 1554 01:26:14.359 --> 01:26:17.199 by the given to us by God, guaranteed by the government. 1555 01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:20.239 And you lost that guarantee. So you know what, that's 1556 01:26:20.279 --> 01:26:23.920 a third that's a third leg of something that sows 1557 01:26:24.159 --> 01:26:29.600 distrust and chaos into a society like ours. You can't 1558 01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:34.039 you can't have any respect or or you don't have 1559 01:26:34.239 --> 01:26:40.600 expectation of elections that are fair, you don't have jurisprudence, 1560 01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:44.119 you know, and you're you're being denied all these things, 1561 01:26:44.399 --> 01:26:47.640 and then you're being thrown into Now I will say 1562 01:26:48.199 --> 01:26:52.920 that you're probably, from what you've described, the most violence 1563 01:26:53.439 --> 01:26:57.960 of any January sixth detainee that I have talked to, 1564 01:26:58.479 --> 01:27:02.000 and only because of the win and the tomahawk and 1565 01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:06.119 the admission that, yeah, you were striking back against people 1566 01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:13.239 that were abusing and hurting protesters who were doing nothing 1567 01:27:13.279 --> 01:27:15.720 at all. I talked to another J sixer who and 1568 01:27:15.760 --> 01:27:20.319 she said that we're just standing out on the sidewalk 1569 01:27:20.359 --> 01:27:25.720 of the Capitol before anybody even came to the Capitol, 1570 01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:30.359 and we're just sitting there with our signs and we're chanting, 1571 01:27:30.720 --> 01:27:33.720 and they're firing rubber bullets. The Capitol police are filing 1572 01:27:33.840 --> 01:27:37.000 rubber bullets at us just for standing there with signs. 1573 01:27:38.279 --> 01:27:42.039 That's a violation of the First Amendment front and center 1574 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:43.079 right there. 1575 01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:45.680 Absolutely, now, you know. 1576 01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:49.640 And what's weird is my so I showed up about 1577 01:27:49.680 --> 01:27:52.399 an hour later than I guess all those things transpired, 1578 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:55.199 they were fired, so because we had we had access 1579 01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:58.760 to sixteen thousand hours in the DC jail of all 1580 01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:01.319 this footage, and I, you know, I was late to 1581 01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:04.680 the Lower West Terrace. And but what is weird is 1582 01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:10.119 what eye witnessed matches up perfectly with everybody that was there. 1583 01:28:10.199 --> 01:28:10.560 Early. 1584 01:28:10.800 --> 01:28:14.199 The police were provoking launching munitions into the crowd, shooting 1585 01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:18.560 pepper ball like paintball style munitions that people They were 1586 01:28:18.560 --> 01:28:22.119 shooting like the thirty millimeter grenade launched like flash bangs, 1587 01:28:22.159 --> 01:28:25.239 tear gas into a crowd that was taking no direct 1588 01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:27.720 action against the officers. As a matter of fact, they 1589 01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:29.800 were launching them over the front of the crowd into 1590 01:28:29.840 --> 01:28:32.760 the back of the crowd, which then causes the people 1591 01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:34.960 in the back to push forward, which then pushes the 1592 01:28:34.960 --> 01:28:37.199 guys in the front up against the police lines. And 1593 01:28:37.239 --> 01:28:40.680 so there was a lot like and then to get 1594 01:28:40.680 --> 01:28:43.000 on up to when I showed up an hour later. 1595 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:47.119 The things continued, the provocation and the attacks on the 1596 01:28:47.159 --> 01:28:50.840 general public by the police. So the mo by the 1597 01:28:50.880 --> 01:28:54.640 police was the same early on and the same when 1598 01:28:54.640 --> 01:28:56.760 I got there, which was interesting. That's what was weird, 1599 01:28:56.760 --> 01:29:01.119 because a majority, not a majority, but a high percentage 1600 01:29:01.159 --> 01:29:04.920 of the men in the jail with me were military marines, 1601 01:29:05.239 --> 01:29:11.560 army rangers, army special forces, and the police officers, prison guards, 1602 01:29:11.680 --> 01:29:16.439 and they all know how to respond to violence, and 1603 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:20.279 so the very same thing that they witnessed, they responded 1604 01:29:20.319 --> 01:29:22.960 to the very same thing that I witnessed. I responded 1605 01:29:23.000 --> 01:29:24.880 to it. And here we all sit in jail together, 1606 01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:28.199 and so it wasn't a mistake that we all ended 1607 01:29:28.239 --> 01:29:30.960 up in there together. It was because they witnessed women 1608 01:29:31.039 --> 01:29:34.399 being pushed down the stairs, women being beaten, elderly people 1609 01:29:34.479 --> 01:29:38.880 being beaten, and they reacted to it. Thomas Webster, for instance, career, 1610 01:29:39.479 --> 01:29:43.119 honorable career at the NYPD Marine, served on the Governor's 1611 01:29:43.119 --> 01:29:47.319 Detail in New York for ten years, witnessed the woman 1612 01:29:47.399 --> 01:29:51.479 being brutalized, responded, never been in trouble, career law enforcement, 1613 01:29:52.000 --> 01:29:53.920 and they gave him ten years in prison because he 1614 01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:56.640 stood up for somebody being assaulted by. 1615 01:29:56.520 --> 01:29:57.720 A DC police officer. 1616 01:29:57.760 --> 01:30:03.039 And so on down the lad It was the same story, 1617 01:30:03.520 --> 01:30:05.760 just a different person, different police officers. 1618 01:30:06.199 --> 01:30:09.560 Do you believe Shane, that there were there were FBI 1619 01:30:09.720 --> 01:30:14.119 and undercover federal agents in that crowd provoking the crowd 1620 01:30:14.359 --> 01:30:15.359 and stirring things up. 1621 01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:19.439 Oh absolutely, I would love to see. I believe there 1622 01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:21.960 were some agents and they were probably more passive in 1623 01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:23.760 the crowd. But who I believe was in the crowd 1624 01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:28.039 was these cooperative informants. They are cooperative individuals that are 1625 01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:32.119 professional assets for the FBI, or I would call professional 1626 01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:35.600 snitches that were in the crowd. As as a matter 1627 01:30:35.640 --> 01:30:38.159 of fact, also, I had the privilege, and I wouldn't 1628 01:30:38.159 --> 01:30:41.479 say the honor, but I had an opportunity to sit 1629 01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:44.560 down with an Antifa member that was put in the 1630 01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:47.000 DC jail with us, and he shared his story of 1631 01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:52.199 how there was eighteen Antifa members at the Capitol and 1632 01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:54.760 I interviewed and he's a self about Antifa, and he 1633 01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:56.880 shared his story, wrote a letter that he wanted me 1634 01:30:56.920 --> 01:30:59.359 to release to the media. So I know they were 1635 01:30:59.399 --> 01:31:01.920 counter protests in the crowd, provoking the police. And we 1636 01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:04.720 watched video of him and his friends throwing frozen water 1637 01:31:04.760 --> 01:31:07.920 bottles at the tops, cussing the tops out, like really 1638 01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:11.920 almost provoking the police before the police started attacking the crowd. 1639 01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:13.319 And that may have played a role in it. So 1640 01:31:13.399 --> 01:31:16.399 there's so many different layers. And not to mention the 1641 01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:20.800 level of security, the amount of security being dropped down low, 1642 01:31:21.119 --> 01:31:24.760 two hundred out of two thousand Capitol Police officers being there. 1643 01:31:25.119 --> 01:31:29.239 Not to mention the reports that Congress had received that 1644 01:31:29.479 --> 01:31:31.600 Troy Nell was released in his book that they talked about. 1645 01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:35.600 They had several like October, November, December security reports saying 1646 01:31:36.039 --> 01:31:39.560 there's a high level of hyperpensity for violence on January sixth, 1647 01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:42.520 because they were getting all this intel coming in and 1648 01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:44.920 so that they should have been on their guard. They 1649 01:31:44.920 --> 01:31:48.039 should have had all hands on deck and been prepared 1650 01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:51.039 for events to get out of control. But I believe 1651 01:31:51.439 --> 01:31:54.560 Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and these people wanted to give 1652 01:31:54.600 --> 01:31:57.760 MAGA a black eye, and they gave us the perfect 1653 01:31:58.640 --> 01:32:01.800 circumstances and opportunity, oh yeah, to walk everybody into a trap. 1654 01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:05.359 That was a carefully orchestrated si op by Nancy Pelosi 1655 01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:09.600 and the left who wanted to permanently demonize Donald Trump 1656 01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:14.199 and anyone who supported him. He offered Donald president, Donald, 1657 01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:19.239 who was president on January sixth, had offered and been 1658 01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:22.600 refused by Nancy Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms 1659 01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:27.600 the ten thousand extra National Guard troops that he offered 1660 01:32:27.600 --> 01:32:31.199 to deploy because of those same reports you're talking about, 1661 01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:37.000 and they said, no, we're fine, We're fine, and then 1662 01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:40.119 claimed that they were in fear for their lives afterwards. 1663 01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:42.720 All right, I don't know what you would call that, 1664 01:32:44.359 --> 01:32:46.920 Darrel dy or I don't know what you would call that, 1665 01:32:47.079 --> 01:32:49.520 but yeah, it seems treatments. 1666 01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:52.880 So I mean, Shane, if there had been ten thousand 1667 01:32:53.000 --> 01:32:55.760 National Guard this, you wouldn't have had a chance to 1668 01:32:55.760 --> 01:32:59.640 break a window that day, right, No, absolutely. 1669 01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:02.039 Not no, And we would have been we would have 1670 01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:04.439 been loving on those people, shaking their hands, so thank 1671 01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:05.399 you for serving. 1672 01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:05.760 And all those things. 1673 01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:10.000 It was not I totally did not expect that to 1674 01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:12.760 happen at the Capitol. What I saw at the Ellipse 1675 01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:15.880 was praying and singing and dancing and people smiling, and 1676 01:33:16.319 --> 01:33:21.359 it was like a church spiritual concert atmosphere, and it 1677 01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:24.279 was one of the most beautiful experiences I'd ever seen. 1678 01:33:24.359 --> 01:33:27.359 And then to come to the Capitol and just see 1679 01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:29.199 something completely. 1680 01:33:30.640 --> 01:33:31.039 Different. 1681 01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:34.239 Had I used my right thinking, I'd be like, this 1682 01:33:34.319 --> 01:33:37.119 is a trap. You know, my buddy Rob Morris Lego 1683 01:33:37.199 --> 01:33:39.840 Man calls it. January sixth was a lobster trap, and 1684 01:33:39.880 --> 01:33:41.199 it was. It was. 1685 01:33:41.319 --> 01:33:43.520 It was set up to not. 1686 01:33:43.399 --> 01:33:47.880 Only it cooled any desire to go to DC to 1687 01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:50.560 protest or to do anything like that from the right 1688 01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:53.640 after that point, because it was people were like, I can't. 1689 01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:55.439 I'm not willing to lose everything. I'm not willing to 1690 01:33:55.439 --> 01:33:57.079 get canceled, I'm not willing to go to jail. 1691 01:33:57.880 --> 01:33:59.279 And so that served their purpose. 1692 01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:04.319 Well, there you go. A sad chapter. Uh that hopefully 1693 01:34:04.399 --> 01:34:07.520 is closed for you and everybody else who had to 1694 01:34:07.600 --> 01:34:14.600 experience a political prison in America. It's just it's just 1695 01:34:14.680 --> 01:34:18.199 amazing that that that ain't even happened. And and you 1696 01:34:18.199 --> 01:34:20.600 know what else is ironic to me or not ironic, 1697 01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:24.760 it's it's sympathy simpatico. Was what happened to the election. 1698 01:34:25.279 --> 01:34:27.680 We had a fake election and then we had a 1699 01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:31.840 fake insurrection and it was all orchestrated by the same people. 1700 01:34:33.119 --> 01:34:33.600 That's right. 1701 01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:37.039 Well, I'll tell you what what the devilment to use 1702 01:34:37.079 --> 01:34:39.119 to destroy us? God is going to use it for 1703 01:34:39.199 --> 01:34:41.319 his glory. And I feel like am we got to 1704 01:34:41.319 --> 01:34:44.359 serve in a capacity and help get President Trump elected 1705 01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:46.319 for the second and for the third time, really I believe. 1706 01:34:46.399 --> 01:34:49.760 But and so a lot of positive things have come 1707 01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:51.560 of this. Not to mention no one where we started 1708 01:34:51.560 --> 01:34:53.680 the foundation, we're going to work on justice reform and 1709 01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:57.399 set in the January sixth, Men's Lives is back on track. 1710 01:34:57.520 --> 01:34:59.520 Yeah, tell me about the organization again. 1711 01:35:00.720 --> 01:35:03.720 Yeah. So we're working went to two prong attack. One 1712 01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:06.159 of them for the you know right now, is trying 1713 01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:08.199 to help January six guys get their lives back. We're 1714 01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:10.960 going to be working on credit reprayer. We're working on 1715 01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:14.239 a program called Operation Memory Maker, where we're going to 1716 01:35:14.279 --> 01:35:17.319 be funding a three to five day vacation with husband 1717 01:35:17.359 --> 01:35:20.920 and wife and children and whatever their familial situation is. 1718 01:35:21.359 --> 01:35:23.600 But we wanted them to be able to take a 1719 01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:27.279 vacation and get those family bonds back together because a 1720 01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:29.199 lot of the guys have been gone almost four years, 1721 01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:31.640 and so we want them to be able to get away, 1722 01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:34.640 just unplug, spend some time with the wife and kid, 1723 01:35:35.640 --> 01:35:38.279 and just get right and not have to pay for anything. 1724 01:35:38.319 --> 01:35:40.560 So that's another thing we're working on. We're also working 1725 01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:43.960 on healthcare because the medical and dental treatment in the 1726 01:35:43.960 --> 01:35:47.640 prison is horrific, and so we're trying to just get 1727 01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:50.239 everybody situated and get them back to the quality of 1728 01:35:50.279 --> 01:35:53.199 life at least that they had before, if not better. 1729 01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:56.960 And then the second prong of the attack is moving forward, 1730 01:35:57.079 --> 01:35:59.960 is we're going to work on prison reform and justice. 1731 01:36:00.399 --> 01:36:03.760 And so I've had some very interesting conversations with some 1732 01:36:03.800 --> 01:36:08.960 people high up in the government that tell us that 1733 01:36:09.039 --> 01:36:11.239 President Trump is passionate about prison informance. 1734 01:36:11.279 --> 01:36:13.000 So we want to we want. 1735 01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:14.760 To reach back and help these people who are going 1736 01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:17.439 to be your neighbors and my neighbors, and whose kids 1737 01:36:17.479 --> 01:36:18.920 are going to be going to school with our kids, 1738 01:36:18.920 --> 01:36:21.279 and we want them to be the best they can be. 1739 01:36:21.439 --> 01:36:24.840 And we think we need to fundamentally rethink the prison system, 1740 01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:28.960 especially the Federal BOP, because what I saw, I saw 1741 01:36:29.079 --> 01:36:32.680 multiple people die in there, and I saw an insane 1742 01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:36.199 amount of drug abuse and overdoses and all kinds of 1743 01:36:36.239 --> 01:36:39.600 stuff like that, and I saw very little focus. 1744 01:36:39.319 --> 01:36:42.920 On bettering the men and investing in those men. 1745 01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:46.079 And trying to have an environment that's conducive for them 1746 01:36:46.479 --> 01:36:50.359 to get vocational training or college education or anything like that. 1747 01:36:50.359 --> 01:36:52.640 From what I saw, the first step back was a joke, 1748 01:36:52.720 --> 01:36:55.600 and the courses that the guys are taking or it's 1749 01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:57.319 it's really a joke, and I feel like it's set 1750 01:36:57.399 --> 01:37:00.680 up to be a money scam. And so we gotta 1751 01:37:00.760 --> 01:37:04.640 we got to promote an environment that is peaceful, and 1752 01:37:04.720 --> 01:37:06.680 we got to get the gangs under control in there, 1753 01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:08.479 and we've got to get the drug and all that 1754 01:37:08.520 --> 01:37:09.399 stuff out of there. 1755 01:37:09.439 --> 01:37:11.239 And so so to have a huge. 1756 01:37:10.960 --> 01:37:11.560 Fight for that. 1757 01:37:11.800 --> 01:37:13.880 How to how do people? How do people find out more? 1758 01:37:14.039 --> 01:37:15.039 Maybe help Shane? 1759 01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:18.800 Is there a website or yes, sir, if you go 1760 01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:22.800 to Stand in the Gap Dot Foundation that Stand in 1761 01:37:22.880 --> 01:37:25.239 the Gap Dot Foundation, you can go and you can 1762 01:37:25.279 --> 01:37:27.000 see what we're doing.

And he's said, flash, 1835 01:41:00.600 --> 01:41:03.159 it's Marty Brenneman. And now at this point I didn't 1836 01:41:03.199 --> 01:41:05.920 know who he was right away, and I go, okay, hey, Marty, 1837 01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:08.079 what are you doing? He goes, I'm driving up I 1838 01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:11.039 seventy five to go to see the Dayton Dragons. I'm 1839 01:41:11.039 --> 01:41:12.520 talking up there.

He said, I'm the voice? 1842 01:41:16.520 --> 01:41:20.840 I said, oh that jeez. So so that's how I 1843 01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:23.000 met Marty. So Marty and a man that I we 1844 01:41:23.319 --> 01:41:26.159 And by the way, he just went, they're overseas right now. 1845 01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:30.720 They just left this weekend. Is oh? So that was it. 1846 01:41:30.880 --> 01:41:33.680 So now I get this message from our MLB channel 1847 01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:36.399 and they said, flash, do you know who joke Astiglio is. 1848 01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:38.439 I said, you mean the Red Sox is the voice 1849 01:41:38.479 --> 01:41:39.640 of the Red Sox. They said, yeah. 1850 01:41:39.880 --> 01:41:42.039 All he wants to do is not talk baseball. When 1851 01:41:42.079 --> 01:41:45.119 he calls in, he just wants to talk about your travels. 1852 01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:47.720 He listens to you and then goes out and does 1853 01:41:47.760 --> 01:41:50.479 the games. So he said, can I just let you 1854 01:41:50.479 --> 01:41:51.000 two talk? 1855 01:41:51.279 --> 01:41:54.159 So when he came down to play in Baltimore, he 1856 01:41:54.199 --> 01:41:57.000 came down to d C, took the train and hung 1857 01:41:57.039 --> 01:41:59.159 out with me because he wanted to meet me. And 1858 01:41:59.159 --> 01:42:01.079 then I brought him back to Camden Yards. He said, 1859 01:42:01.079 --> 01:42:03.159 come on back and be in the in the booth 1860 01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:05.000 with me. So I went to the booth with him 1861 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:07.560 a number of times. Come to Fenway, let's meet here, 1862 01:42:07.640 --> 01:42:09.479 let's and so I started meeting him in all these 1863 01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:11.720 different places because he's just a big fan and I'll 1864 01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:14.880 listen during the day. And then I was there friendly 1865 01:42:14.920 --> 01:42:16.760 with him. But this last time he said, hey, I'm 1866 01:42:16.800 --> 01:42:19.800 coming out to Baltimore and can you be in the booth. 1867 01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:22.479 And it was Memorial Day, so I was there with 1868 01:42:22.560 --> 01:42:24.920 the Jokistiglio and again going into the Baseball Hall of 1869 01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:28.720 Fame in Cooper's Town. Congratulations Joe, and he and Marty 1870 01:42:28.760 --> 01:42:32.439 Brenneman are such good friends. Marty flew into Boston to 1871 01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:33.159 hang out with him. 1872 01:42:33.520 --> 01:42:38.079 Oh that is fantastic. I love the fact that you're 1873 01:42:38.119 --> 01:42:40.159 a baseball fan. But he did. He didn't want to 1874 01:42:40.199 --> 01:42:43.000 talk about baseball. He wanted to talk about your travels 1875 01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:47.720 or much like me. I mean, yeah, tonight, tonight we're 1876 01:42:47.760 --> 01:42:50.920 talking baseball a little bit because of your travels around 1877 01:42:50.920 --> 01:42:55.560 the country. How many ballparks have you been to? Flash, 1878 01:42:55.680 --> 01:42:59.319 you're ready for this? All right, there's thirty MLB stadiums. 1879 01:42:59.359 --> 01:43:02.000 I've been to all thirty of them. There are two 1880 01:43:02.079 --> 01:43:06.640 hundred and six MiLB stadiums for a total, and MLB 1881 01:43:06.760 --> 01:43:10.000 and MLB for two hundred and thirty six stadiums. You 1882 01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:11.720 want to take a guess how many I've been to? 1883 01:43:11.960 --> 01:43:12.439 How many? 1884 01:43:13.520 --> 01:43:16.319 Two hundred and thirty three? I'm only missing three. 1885 01:43:16.960 --> 01:43:20.920 How do you say MiLB? What is MiLB for the uninitiated? 1886 01:43:21.640 --> 01:43:25.720 Okay, that's the minor leagues underneath so underneath the red 1887 01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:27.880 so you would have all the different whether or not 1888 01:43:27.920 --> 01:43:30.079 you're talking about Louisville and all the way down, so 1889 01:43:30.319 --> 01:43:34.199 all the different ones that because what happens, they're independent, 1890 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:38.640 so and including your Florence Yawls, so that's independent. Though 1891 01:43:38.680 --> 01:43:41.119 I've been to the stadium, I've been to almost all 1892 01:43:41.159 --> 01:43:44.479 the independent ones as well. But see MLB had so 1893 01:43:44.600 --> 01:43:47.000 many teams that they could have under it, and then 1894 01:43:47.039 --> 01:43:48.800 they said, okay, here's going to be the cutoff. So 1895 01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:50.840 a couple of years ago and they made it two 1896 01:43:50.920 --> 01:43:53.119 hundred and six teams and it used to be more 1897 01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:55.720 than that. So that's why all these other leagues are 1898 01:43:55.720 --> 01:43:58.479 in there. But here are the three that I'm missing 1899 01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:03.079 of all the MLBS and m ILB for minor league, 1900 01:44:03.359 --> 01:44:07.199 the three I'm missing are Hillsboro High Tops, which a 1901 01:44:07.199 --> 01:44:09.279 lot of people probably coldn't even tell you where Hillsboro is. 1902 01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:12.960 That's Oregon. It's the suburb to Portland. It's Portland, Oregon's 1903 01:44:13.199 --> 01:44:17.439 minor league baseball team, the Vancouver Canadians. I've been to Vancouver, 1904 01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:19.720 but I didn't go to the stadium. So I've been 1905 01:44:19.760 --> 01:44:22.079 over there and the only one in the East is 1906 01:44:22.199 --> 01:44:23.880 and I've been to their old stadium, but I haven't 1907 01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:26.199 been to their new one, and that's the Augusta Green 1908 01:44:26.319 --> 01:44:29.800 Jackets known after the Masters, and they built the stadium 1909 01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:33.279 now on what's called the CM what they called that 1910 01:44:33.560 --> 01:44:37.880 such as m Central Savannah River CSRA is what they 1911 01:44:37.880 --> 01:44:42.199 call it, standing for the Central Savannah River Area at Augusta, Georgia. 1912 01:44:42.279 --> 01:44:44.359 So it's built on the South Carolina side. 1913 01:44:44.479 --> 01:44:47.479 So those three stadiums would then complete the two hundred 1914 01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:48.560 and thirty six stadiums. 1915 01:44:48.600 --> 01:44:53.720 So I've seen some credit. I go all over. I 1916 01:44:53.760 --> 01:44:54.319 just love. 1917 01:44:54.640 --> 01:44:56.479 Seeing all these stadiums. And you know how I got 1918 01:44:56.479 --> 01:44:59.479 into it because my dad, my dad. Now you've heard 1919 01:44:59.520 --> 01:45:03.960 of the sav Bananas. Yes, okay, my dad played at 1920 01:45:03.960 --> 01:45:07.119 that stadium. It's called Grayson Stadium. So when my dad, 1921 01:45:07.119 --> 01:45:09.640 this is how my mom and dad met. So my 1922 01:45:09.840 --> 01:45:11.880 dad from Baltimore and he goes to World War Two. 1923 01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:14.479 Once he gets back, he gets into baseball and he 1924 01:45:14.520 --> 01:45:18.119 starts playing under the Philadelphia Athletics in nineteen fifty and 1925 01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:21.399 he plays for West Palm Beach and then Savannah. These 1926 01:45:21.399 --> 01:45:23.800 are both under the Philadelphia Athletics, you're dad, or. 1927 01:45:23.840 --> 01:45:26.600 Known as the my dad did, yeah, so the Indians. 1928 01:45:26.600 --> 01:45:29.600 So this is Will Phelps and so as he's playing there, 1929 01:45:29.920 --> 01:45:33.000 he is playing in Tampa and he's at the hotel 1930 01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:36.840 and he sees the telephone operator and that becomes my mom. 1931 01:45:37.279 --> 01:45:38.560 So that's where they met. 1932 01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:42.880 Then they married on the diamond, they right there at 1933 01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:46.079 home Plate. They got married at home Plate on July fifth, 1934 01:45:46.319 --> 01:45:49.520 nineteen fifty and it took him sixteen more years just 1935 01:45:49.560 --> 01:45:51.199 to even have me after that. 1936 01:45:51.479 --> 01:45:53.880 Was going to say, so he played. Yeah, it took 1937 01:45:53.880 --> 01:45:54.520 a little while. 1938 01:45:54.640 --> 01:45:56.239 So I should have probably been born in the early 1939 01:45:56.279 --> 01:45:58.119 fifties and then really have played all. 1940 01:45:58.039 --> 01:46:03.640 These songs originally. But that's that's where it all started. 1941 01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:06.119 And so growing up he was all about He wasn't 1942 01:46:06.119 --> 01:46:09.319 about the Colts or because you know, we had them 1943 01:46:09.319 --> 01:46:11.399 here in Baltimore at that time. He was all about 1944 01:46:11.439 --> 01:46:15.079 the Orioles. It was just all baseball. Everything was baseball, 1945 01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:17.279 and he was so into it. And then I played 1946 01:46:17.279 --> 01:46:19.319 for a while, but then I realized he got me 1947 01:46:19.359 --> 01:46:22.800 into a radio station locally, and I said, oh my gosh, 1948 01:46:22.880 --> 01:46:23.920 I love radio. 1949 01:46:23.920 --> 01:46:26.039 More than a ball and these are like you just 1950 01:46:26.119 --> 01:46:29.039 do whatever you love. It's better to get paid for 1951 01:46:29.159 --> 01:46:31.319 whatever you love doing. And that's how I got into 1952 01:46:31.399 --> 01:46:33.520 radio because he gave me thumbs up, even though I 1953 01:46:33.520 --> 01:46:36.439 think he would have rather had me play baseball. I agree, 1954 01:46:36.520 --> 01:46:40.119 do what you love, and you there's a chance that 1955 01:46:40.159 --> 01:46:42.159 you will never work a day in your life. Really 1956 01:46:43.199 --> 01:46:45.920 now are what it was? Yeah? Are the Orioles your 1957 01:46:45.920 --> 01:46:48.000 favorite team? Do you have a favorite Major League tea? 1958 01:46:48.039 --> 01:46:48.840 Yeah? 1959 01:46:48.960 --> 01:46:50.399 Yeah, I see, I grew up here, and then I 1960 01:46:50.439 --> 01:46:52.920 got into radio and going all over the place. But 1961 01:46:53.000 --> 01:46:55.560 I was always in some of the smaller markets, so 1962 01:46:55.640 --> 01:46:59.159 I was not in major league cities, but I was 1963 01:46:59.239 --> 01:47:01.560 close enough to others. I stayed as an Orioles fan 1964 01:47:01.600 --> 01:47:03.279 even when I was in the US. Virgin Islands was 1965 01:47:03.359 --> 01:47:06.399 ninety seven, great year for the Orioles, and then but 1966 01:47:06.479 --> 01:47:08.199 I was there in eighty three. I was there in 1967 01:47:08.239 --> 01:47:10.680 seventy nine when they lost in Game six in the 1968 01:47:10.720 --> 01:47:12.760 World Series of the Pirates, and then they lost it 1969 01:47:12.800 --> 01:47:14.560 again in Game seven. But it was so cool to 1970 01:47:14.560 --> 01:47:17.760 go that World Series game at Memorial Stadium. And then 1971 01:47:17.920 --> 01:47:20.920 after that in eighty three, I went out there for 1972 01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:23.800 the big celebration after they had beaten the White Sox 1973 01:47:23.840 --> 01:47:26.079 and they came back to Baltimore, and then that was 1974 01:47:26.119 --> 01:47:29.159 when they played Phillies to when the last time they 1975 01:47:29.199 --> 01:47:30.479 even won the World Series is. 1976 01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:33.359 As you know, it's not an easy thing to even 1977 01:47:33.399 --> 01:47:35.319 get to a World so well it's been it's been 1978 01:47:35.359 --> 01:47:38.399 since it's been since nineteen ninety that the Reds have 1979 01:47:38.479 --> 01:47:41.399 won a World Series. And that was the way. That 1980 01:47:41.479 --> 01:47:44.000 was the wired to wire team that led from the 1981 01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:46.239 beginning of the season to the end and then swept 1982 01:47:46.239 --> 01:47:50.520 the A's in the World Series in nineteen ninety. So Flash, 1983 01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:53.479 we're trying to Flash Phelps, a serious XM radio who's 1984 01:47:53.760 --> 01:47:57.880 joining us tonight to talk about his baseball travels around 1985 01:47:57.920 --> 01:48:01.560 the country. And Flash, I wanted to add I started. 1986 01:48:01.760 --> 01:48:04.920 I started my radio career in the Nashville area, in Nashville, Tennessee, 1987 01:48:05.600 --> 01:48:08.680 and for a long long time, the owner of the 1988 01:48:08.720 --> 01:48:11.600 minor league club there, the Nashville Sounds, as a sound 1989 01:48:11.760 --> 01:48:16.319 great guy named Larry Schmidow, and he petitioned the major leagues. 1990 01:48:16.439 --> 01:48:18.840 I mean, he never stopped. And he built this new 1991 01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:24.239 stadium thinking that maybe, just maybe they'd finally award him 1992 01:48:24.279 --> 01:48:27.520 a Major League Baseball franchise. And I think there's still 1993 01:48:27.960 --> 01:48:30.439 an opinion now that Nashville is a major league town 1994 01:48:30.640 --> 01:48:35.159 in hockey and in football obviously that one of these 1995 01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:39.199 days maybe one of these fledgling or failing MLB teams 1996 01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:42.319 will move to Nashville. What did you think about Sound 1997 01:48:42.399 --> 01:48:46.000 Stadium in Nashville, the new owner of the old one 1998 01:48:47.079 --> 01:48:51.159 either one. I liked it. I liked the giant guitar, 1999 01:48:51.199 --> 01:48:52.439 and I like the fact that they kept it. 2000 01:48:52.439 --> 01:48:54.319 I don't know if you know this, but they kept 2001 01:48:54.359 --> 01:48:56.439 that giant scoreboard. 2002 01:48:56.039 --> 01:48:57.039 That looks like a guitar. 2003 01:48:57.359 --> 01:48:59.239 Did you know they have that on the south side 2004 01:48:59.439 --> 01:49:01.920 of Nashville. You can still get your photo with that. 2005 01:49:02.359 --> 01:49:05.079 But uh, I mean, I like the sounds, but I 2006 01:49:05.119 --> 01:49:07.159 do like the way they built this new stadium on 2007 01:49:07.239 --> 01:49:10.439 the north side. It's an area that needed to be 2008 01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:14.560 redone and I just think both stadiums were just fantastic 2009 01:49:14.600 --> 01:49:16.920 in the Nashville area. Did you know Knoxville's getting a 2010 01:49:16.920 --> 01:49:20.760 new stadium for the Tennessee smoking No, Yeah, that's being 2011 01:49:20.760 --> 01:49:21.640 built right now. 2012 01:49:21.920 --> 01:49:23.520 So as soon as they start. 2013 01:49:23.239 --> 01:49:25.800 Building them, I want to go and like Field of 2014 01:49:25.880 --> 01:49:29.479 Dreams oh Man out in Iowa, you go to Dyersville 2015 01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:32.039 and you just I mean, even though it's not a stadium, 2016 01:49:32.039 --> 01:49:35.199 you go there and you just relive baseball and walk 2017 01:49:35.199 --> 01:49:36.720 into the corn good time of the year. 2018 01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:39.279 Nashville's fun. 2019 01:49:39.479 --> 01:49:41.239 Since we're in the state of Tennessee. 2020 01:49:41.279 --> 01:49:46.520 Real briefly, I can tell you something about the old 2021 01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:50.119 Ingles Stadium in Chattanooga that you may know. Let me 2022 01:49:50.159 --> 01:49:52.920 tell you something you do not know. You probably okay, yeah, 2023 01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:55.479 tell me. I was working in Chattanooga on the radio 2024 01:49:55.560 --> 01:49:59.079 and we had a celebrity softball team for the radio station. 2025 01:49:59.199 --> 01:50:04.640 We are in close proximity proximity to Fort Payne, Alabama, 2026 01:50:04.680 --> 01:50:08.439 where the group Alabama's from, and they had a celebrity 2027 01:50:08.479 --> 01:50:13.039 softball team too, the band did Alabama, Randy Owens and 2028 01:50:13.039 --> 01:50:16.119 all those guys. Yeah, and so at the time this 2029 01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:21.279 and Yetta Entry. Yes, and so we're we're playing all 2030 01:50:21.279 --> 01:50:23.640 of their records. At the early nineteen eighties, even though 2031 01:50:23.640 --> 01:50:25.720 we were a rock station, we played all the Alabama 2032 01:50:25.800 --> 01:50:28.680 stuff because they were immensely popular there in that area. 2033 01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:30.720 You know, they're from there. So we played all of 2034 01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:34.640 the big Alabama hits. And somehow we got the chance 2035 01:50:35.439 --> 01:50:38.880 to host them at the old Ingles Stadium which was 2036 01:50:38.880 --> 01:50:41.880 about to fall in on itself then forty years ago, 2037 01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:46.560 and it held like nine thousand people something like that. 2038 01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:52.640 That stadium had never been sold out until KZ one 2039 01:50:52.720 --> 01:50:56.399 O six played Alabama in a softball game and we 2040 01:50:56.479 --> 01:50:59.199 had over nine thousand people and you know what, flash, 2041 01:50:59.279 --> 01:51:01.399 we got boot off the field at the end of 2042 01:51:01.439 --> 01:51:06.560 the game because we beat Alabama seven to six. What 2043 01:51:06.720 --> 01:51:09.560 a great story. And that is a fantastic one because 2044 01:51:09.720 --> 01:51:10.520 I always. 2045 01:51:10.199 --> 01:51:13.119 Loved the group Alabama as well. And you know what 2046 01:51:13.119 --> 01:51:15.920 country radio is, how I started in radio. My first 2047 01:51:16.000 --> 01:51:18.760 on air job was playing country, but I wanted to 2048 01:51:18.800 --> 01:51:20.880 be on KZ one O six. I got the chance 2049 01:51:20.920 --> 01:51:24.279 to be up at WOKI in Knoxville for one night 2050 01:51:24.319 --> 01:51:25.199 before they said no. 2051 01:51:26.439 --> 01:51:29.479 That was a quick audition, Yeah it was. 2052 01:51:29.720 --> 01:51:32.479 I did five hours on the air and they said no, No, 2053 01:51:32.560 --> 01:51:34.560 I was. I was. I was on the wings of 2054 01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:36.680 rock and roll as they call it for three and 2055 01:51:36.720 --> 01:51:39.079 a half years in the early eighties, my first big 2056 01:51:39.199 --> 01:51:40.720 radio job away from home. 2057 01:51:41.640 --> 01:51:44.439 Well, see, my mom grew up there. My mom grew 2058 01:51:44.520 --> 01:51:46.720 up right there in Chattanooga. That was her whole area 2059 01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:50.800 as well. Yeah, so that was I love going over 2060 01:51:51.159 --> 01:51:53.840 into that area because even you know, what I need 2061 01:51:53.880 --> 01:51:56.359 to do is go back. My grandparents are buried there. 2062 01:51:56.399 --> 01:51:58.119 I never got a chance to meet them. Oh they 2063 01:51:58.119 --> 01:52:00.640 passed before I was even born. But I now know 2064 01:52:00.840 --> 01:52:03.760 where they are thanks to my uncle. He's actually giving 2065 01:52:03.760 --> 01:52:07.319 me some info. So Chattanooga, I love it so outs. 2066 01:52:07.520 --> 01:52:11.920 So that's right. Camden Yards is your baseball home now 2067 01:52:11.960 --> 01:52:14.039 when you're at home, which you never are since you're 2068 01:52:14.079 --> 01:52:18.760 traveling all the time. And the Oriols your favorite team. 2069 01:52:19.039 --> 01:52:23.319 Is there anything else that really stands out on the 2070 01:52:23.359 --> 01:52:29.239 East Coast? As far as as baseball fields, as stadiums go, 2071 01:52:29.399 --> 01:52:31.479 that you really love to go there the it's not 2072 01:52:31.560 --> 01:52:34.479 that you hate the rest, but what do you really 2073 01:52:34.680 --> 01:52:37.199 like to go When you're traveling and you're visiting a 2074 01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:40.720 baseball stadium on the East Coast, what's your favorite? 2075 01:52:40.800 --> 01:52:43.520 Well, see a lot of them are the m i ILB, 2076 01:52:43.640 --> 01:52:46.600 save the minor league. I love trying to find all 2077 01:52:46.600 --> 01:52:48.920 the minor league ones, which I've done. But they just 2078 01:52:48.960 --> 01:52:52.000 built a brand new one right here in Hagarstown, Maryland. 2079 01:52:52.000 --> 01:52:54.119 So if you're coming in on I seventy, you always 2080 01:52:54.119 --> 01:52:56.319 go through Hagar'stown and they have a new one they 2081 01:52:56.439 --> 01:53:00.319 just built in downtown and they just renamed them the 2082 01:53:00.359 --> 01:53:04.560 Flying box Cars, and they built it all around these buildings. 2083 01:53:04.600 --> 01:53:06.000 They had to take out the buildings and put it 2084 01:53:06.079 --> 01:53:08.479 right in. It's kind of the way they did Camden Yards, 2085 01:53:08.479 --> 01:53:10.880 having to take it out but leaving the warehouse. So 2086 01:53:11.000 --> 01:53:13.800 I really like the ones that bring in the atmosphere. 2087 01:53:13.800 --> 01:53:15.359 And you know, I don't know if you realize this, 2088 01:53:15.439 --> 01:53:17.520 but they always have to put home plate in the 2089 01:53:17.640 --> 01:53:21.319 left in the southwest corner or the southern corner of 2090 01:53:21.359 --> 01:53:24.359 the stadium. If you're playing outside, it's always the right 2091 01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:27.439 fielder that gets that sun right in its space. 2092 01:53:27.720 --> 01:53:28.600 Did you realize that? 2093 01:53:28.720 --> 01:53:32.239 So you'll always notice home plate is always southwest corner 2094 01:53:32.600 --> 01:53:34.119 or the right in the south. 2095 01:53:34.600 --> 01:53:36.000 That's exactly where they put them. 2096 01:53:36.199 --> 01:53:38.880 So it's kind of tough where Sometimes they'll put them 2097 01:53:38.960 --> 01:53:41.319 in cities and they want to have that opening in 2098 01:53:41.359 --> 01:53:44.960 the outfield to the skyline, but sometimes they just don't 2099 01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:48.720 have that area on the southwest side. Automore they did, 2100 01:53:48.960 --> 01:53:52.720 and having Camden Yards, let's get that view towards the skyline. 2101 01:53:53.159 --> 01:53:55.680 With Cincinnati you get a chance for it as well, 2102 01:53:56.039 --> 01:53:58.960 though the uh you get that more of that opening 2103 01:53:59.119 --> 01:54:00.680 towards the Ohio River right there. 2104 01:54:00.760 --> 01:54:02.800 Yes, exactly that shot. 2105 01:54:02.960 --> 01:54:05.720 But so they put that home plate if you notice, 2106 01:54:05.720 --> 01:54:08.640 in Cincinnati more in the northwest corner. As long as 2107 01:54:08.640 --> 01:54:10.880 you put it on the west side of the stadium, 2108 01:54:11.079 --> 01:54:14.479 it doesn't affect those batting during those evening games when 2109 01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:16.960 usually they're at seven or eight o'clock or like six 2110 01:54:17.000 --> 01:54:17.479 o'clock and. 2111 01:54:17.520 --> 01:54:19.520 Nine, So that's why they do that. 2112 01:54:19.640 --> 01:54:22.000 But yeah, you guys got a beautiful view out of 2113 01:54:22.000 --> 01:54:24.199 the Ohio River and the and to be able to 2114 01:54:24.239 --> 01:54:25.840 see that purple bridge down the road. 2115 01:54:26.680 --> 01:54:29.600 Yeah, the purple people bridge so, yeah, that's the one. 2116 01:54:29.640 --> 01:54:32.920 I like Newport so word, Yeah, that's right. I work 2117 01:54:32.960 --> 01:54:35.960 in Newport and live just about I live about a 2118 01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:38.279 mile and a half away from the stadium there on 2119 01:54:38.319 --> 01:54:43.640 the Riverfront. I remember the Riverfront, the Riverfront Stadium that 2120 01:54:43.840 --> 01:54:46.199 used to host both the Reds and the Bengals at 2121 01:54:46.199 --> 01:54:52.159 one point. Uh right, and was there? Yeah, And and 2122 01:54:52.199 --> 01:54:56.359 I gotta tell you, I just love Great American Ballpark 2123 01:54:56.680 --> 01:55:01.479 over Riverfront. Riverfront was one of those nineteen sixties nineteen 2124 01:55:01.520 --> 01:55:04.000 seventies kind of cookie cutter round stadiums. 2125 01:55:04.479 --> 01:55:07.039 It looked like it looked like like a stadium. 2126 01:55:07.119 --> 01:55:09.920 It looked like exactly a bush. Yes it did. But 2127 01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:12.960 Great American Ballpark, and I know you've been there, is 2128 01:55:13.039 --> 01:55:16.159 so different. The great thing about Great American Ballpark to 2129 01:55:16.239 --> 01:55:20.039 me as a fan going is that you can be 2130 01:55:20.239 --> 01:55:23.359 anywhere in the stadium and you don't have an obstructed 2131 01:55:23.439 --> 01:55:26.800 view of the field. I mean, the site lines are unbelievable. Yeah, 2132 01:55:27.399 --> 01:55:27.760 isn't it. 2133 01:55:27.760 --> 01:55:30.000 Amazing how they can build that, Unlike in the past 2134 01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:31.840 where you had to, oh, you might be behind a 2135 01:55:31.920 --> 01:55:34.760 post right here in the old stadiums and you have 2136 01:55:34.840 --> 01:55:37.199 a bad view. But now it's like, how do they 2137 01:55:37.520 --> 01:55:41.000 architecturally build them where everybody can see you and these 2138 01:55:41.000 --> 01:55:43.079 people are hanging above you and all that way. It's 2139 01:55:43.439 --> 01:55:46.479 amazing what they do building them board the views that 2140 01:55:46.520 --> 01:55:47.199 we get today. 2141 01:55:47.439 --> 01:55:50.279 I tell you what, Flash Phelps, Let's sit and do 2142 01:55:50.399 --> 01:55:53.840 another another segment, if you don't mind. We've only made 2143 01:55:53.840 --> 01:55:56.079 it to just about a third of the country in 2144 01:55:56.119 --> 01:55:58.800 the ballparks. This is like when we were so we 2145 01:55:58.800 --> 01:56:01.119 were on the last time and I was going through 2146 01:56:01.159 --> 01:56:03.079 all the states and get you give me one thing. 2147 01:56:03.079 --> 01:56:05.279 And we had got about I don't know, maybe twenty 2148 01:56:05.279 --> 01:56:08.560 five states. Then the time was over. So if you 2149 01:56:08.640 --> 01:56:12.159 will be indulgent of me, we will take a break 2150 01:56:12.199 --> 01:56:15.159 and come back more with Flash Phelps on his travels 2151 01:56:15.199 --> 01:56:19.520 around the country to America's great baseball parks. He's been 2152 01:56:20.079 --> 01:56:23.840 to all but three of the MLB and the MiLB 2153 01:56:24.039 --> 01:56:28.319 stadiums and parks around the country. It's the nightcap and 2154 01:56:28.359 --> 01:56:31.199 it continues here on this All Star Week on seven 2155 01:56:31.279 --> 01:56:33.520 hundred WLW. 2156 01:56:33.399 --> 01:56:41.079 News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred WLW Cincinnati. 2157 01:56:40.800 --> 01:56:44.560 Star Closings on the Rise with the eleven thirty Reports. 2158 01:56:44.720 --> 01:56:49.199 I'm Ley mawin Breaking now Hudson based Joeanne Incorporated, now 2159 01:56:49.319 --> 01:56:53.119 changing course. Instead of closing just five hundred stores in 2160 01:56:53.159 --> 01:56:56.800 about five around the tri State, now we'll shutter all 2161 01:56:57.039 --> 01:57:00.720 of their stores.

Your best course of action 2185 01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:23.800 get off at sixty eight, go south towards Wilmington, then 2186 01:58:24.079 --> 01:58:26.960 go west on seventy three, then get back on seventy one. 2187 01:58:27.039 --> 01:58:30.840 That way, there's no timeline on WIN.

He is 2243 02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:39.720 our guest once again on his travels around the country 2244 02:01:39.720 --> 02:01:44.319 and he has been literally, well, if not everywhere, very close. 2245 02:01:44.960 --> 02:01:49.680 So in the last half hour football Stadium. Right in 2246 02:01:49.720 --> 02:01:53.039 the last half hour, we talked about Camden Yards, we 2247 02:01:53.079 --> 02:01:56.000 talked about the Orioles and being at Fenway Park in 2248 02:01:56.079 --> 02:01:59.079 Boston a little bit. We didn't get to Yankee Stadium. 2249 02:01:59.079 --> 02:02:02.079 What are your thoughts on ye stadium probably the most 2250 02:02:02.079 --> 02:02:06.840 prestigious historic ballparks around the country. Yeah, the first time 2251 02:02:06.960 --> 02:02:09.119 I ever went, I went to the old Yankee Stadium 2252 02:02:09.319 --> 02:02:11.920 and I was just hoping everything would be all right. 2253 02:02:12.039 --> 02:02:13.199 And the same thing when I went. 2254 02:02:13.119 --> 02:02:15.279 To the other one, because I at the end. The 2255 02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:17.359 terrible thing is where people put things in your mind 2256 02:02:17.399 --> 02:02:20.760 going oh it's the Bronx, and you sit there and go, 2257 02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:24.560 oh my gosh, should I even go well, and then 2258 02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:27.039 all of a sudden you go and you go, hey, 2259 02:02:27.119 --> 02:02:29.479 this is a great place. So that it's like me 2260 02:02:29.560 --> 02:02:32.399 going to Coney Island and I love going there right now, 2261 02:02:32.479 --> 02:02:34.760 so don't let anybody put something. 2262 02:02:34.560 --> 02:02:35.520 Bad into your mind. 2263 02:02:35.680 --> 02:02:39.079 And it is just such a really incredible area with 2264 02:02:39.159 --> 02:02:41.800 their monument park, but the way they built it just 2265 02:02:41.920 --> 02:02:44.479 up the street. I like the views from there as well. 2266 02:02:44.560 --> 02:02:50.319 So yeah, another great stadium. I don't have anything, you know, incredible. 2267 02:02:49.840 --> 02:02:50.760 To say about it. 2268 02:02:50.840 --> 02:02:53.079 I've been to Steinbrunner as well, if you've ever been 2269 02:02:53.119 --> 02:02:55.760 down to Steinbrunner Field, which is down in Tampa. So 2270 02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:57.920 where they because I've been to all the spring training 2271 02:02:58.079 --> 02:03:00.960 stadiums as well. So I've done all the spring training. 2272 02:03:01.159 --> 02:03:03.960 And by the way, if you drive around in Phoenix, 2273 02:03:04.359 --> 02:03:06.680 you can in about seven hours you can drive from 2274 02:03:06.720 --> 02:03:09.840 every stadium. You can't do that in Florida. Seven hours. 2275 02:03:09.840 --> 02:03:12.399 You can go to every stadium in Arizona. 2276 02:03:13.119 --> 02:03:15.479 Well, you know for Reds fans, since they're in Goodyear 2277 02:03:15.560 --> 02:03:19.319 now for spring training. Yeah, they moved from Florida. And 2278 02:03:19.039 --> 02:03:22.319 the only thing is it's problem more problematic to be 2279 02:03:22.399 --> 02:03:25.479 in Cincinnati and go to Arizona for spring training baseball 2280 02:03:25.520 --> 02:03:30.239 than it works to Florida. I mean I know the same. Yeah, 2281 02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:33.479 I know, scads of people who used to trek down 2282 02:03:33.520 --> 02:03:35.800 to Florida every year when the Red spring training was 2283 02:03:35.840 --> 02:03:40.239 down in I think Sarasota perhaps or wherever it was, 2284 02:03:41.720 --> 02:03:44.119 and and that was that was kind of like one 2285 02:03:44.159 --> 02:03:47.319 of those vacation trips that everybody planned on making who 2286 02:03:47.399 --> 02:03:50.479 was really into baseball was was going to Florida to 2287 02:03:50.560 --> 02:03:54.199 spring training. But you say, it's it's once you get 2288 02:03:54.199 --> 02:03:56.760 to Arizona, once you get to Phoenix, all of the 2289 02:03:56.800 --> 02:04:02.840 ballparks where the teams are training are pretty close proximity, right, Yeah, 2290 02:04:02.399 --> 02:04:02.640 it was. 2291 02:04:02.880 --> 02:04:06.680 It was up until about twenty ten, twenty eleven they 2292 02:04:06.720 --> 02:04:10.239 made the move of Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks 2293 02:04:10.319 --> 02:04:12.560 used to play down in Tucson, so they were the 2294 02:04:12.560 --> 02:04:15.960 furthest away and they decided, let's build Salt River Field, 2295 02:04:16.039 --> 02:04:18.039 so they built that over on the east side. So 2296 02:04:18.079 --> 02:04:20.359 if you're familiar with the Loop one oh one, so 2297 02:04:20.520 --> 02:04:23.399 you have Cincinnati and Cleveland out on that side. Then 2298 02:04:23.439 --> 02:04:26.279 you have where the Phoenix Raceway is, that's right next 2299 02:04:26.279 --> 02:04:29.079 to it. And now you come in and Milwaukee is next, 2300 02:04:29.319 --> 02:04:31.399 and then you go around Loop one on one and 2301 02:04:31.439 --> 02:04:34.560 you'll go by every one of the stadiums almost on 2302 02:04:34.640 --> 02:04:36.439 Loop one on one, you just have to hop off 2303 02:04:36.479 --> 02:04:39.000 for a little until you finally get over to the 2304 02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:41.640 other side where the Cubs are and the Oakland A's 2305 02:04:41.760 --> 02:04:44.159 or the A's whatever they're going to be after this, 2306 02:04:44.640 --> 02:04:46.720 So that's all in that area, so you can do 2307 02:04:46.760 --> 02:04:49.680 that a lot faster. So for Cincinnati Reds fans, if 2308 02:04:49.720 --> 02:04:52.640 you haven't gone out to Phoenix, if it doesn't matter 2309 02:04:52.680 --> 02:04:54.760 where they're playing, that's the best thing. So you go 2310 02:04:54.840 --> 02:04:57.520 to Florida and your team's down there, Oh, your team's 2311 02:04:57.520 --> 02:04:59.279 going to be playing. They try to keep them pretty 2312 02:04:59.279 --> 02:05:01.720 close now, but sometimes you may be playing on the 2313 02:05:01.800 --> 02:05:04.600 South Florida side, not Southwest Floridas side, or you'll be 2314 02:05:04.640 --> 02:05:08.520 playing up with the Tigers in Lakeland or Toronto, which 2315 02:05:08.560 --> 02:05:09.439 is up in dn Eden. 2316 02:05:09.640 --> 02:05:12.439 So they're usually the furthest away because as. 2317 02:05:12.319 --> 02:05:15.359 You know, the Atlanta Braves they left the Disney World 2318 02:05:15.399 --> 02:05:18.720 area and they moved down to Northport, which Northport is 2319 02:05:18.800 --> 02:05:21.800 right there next to North of Port Myers right there, 2320 02:05:21.840 --> 02:05:23.680 so there almost everybody's near each other. 2321 02:05:23.840 --> 02:05:27.159 Flash As a kid, I grew up in Chicago for 2322 02:05:27.399 --> 02:05:29.800 we were there in the West side of Chicago for 2323 02:05:29.840 --> 02:05:33.279 about six years, and my dad did my dad did 2324 02:05:33.319 --> 02:05:36.439 take us once to the old Comiskey Park, which wasn't 2325 02:05:36.439 --> 02:05:39.199 a really bad part of Chicago. I mean, it's still 2326 02:05:39.199 --> 02:05:42.159 the South Side is not exactly exemplary of somebody you 2327 02:05:42.199 --> 02:05:44.880 want to take a family to necessarily, But as you 2328 02:05:44.920 --> 02:05:48.439 mentioned earlier, see for yourself. Don't listen to the warnings 2329 02:05:48.479 --> 02:05:51.279 of other people before you make a judgment. But I 2330 02:05:51.359 --> 02:05:54.840 will tell you that in third and fourth grades, both years, 2331 02:05:55.359 --> 02:05:59.319 our field trip as kids, coming from Naperville, Illinois to 2332 02:05:59.399 --> 02:06:04.600 Downtownshipgo consisted of seeing all of the museums in the 2333 02:06:04.640 --> 02:06:07.560 morning downtown and then going to a Cubs game because 2334 02:06:07.560 --> 02:06:11.159 they were still all played during the daytime. Then yeah, 2335 02:06:12.159 --> 02:06:15.840 and there is. There is absolutely nothing like Wrigley Field. 2336 02:06:15.880 --> 02:06:18.720 I remember being a six seven year old kid and 2337 02:06:18.800 --> 02:06:22.000 walking into that environment the first time on a field 2338 02:06:22.039 --> 02:06:24.600 trip from school. Not only was I getting out of school, 2339 02:06:24.960 --> 02:06:27.439 but I was getting to walk into this environment that 2340 02:06:27.520 --> 02:06:30.920 has its own atmosphere, the ivy colored walls, and you 2341 02:06:30.960 --> 02:06:33.760 know just how Wriggly Field is. Give me your thoughts 2342 02:06:33.800 --> 02:06:36.680 on Chicago Cubs Wriggly Field flash See. 2343 02:06:36.840 --> 02:06:38.720 I always love it because do you remember there used 2344 02:06:38.720 --> 02:06:41.800 to be the McDonald's across the street. I remember because 2345 02:06:41.920 --> 02:06:44.479 I was watching the movie The Blues Brothers. Yes, this 2346 02:06:44.520 --> 02:06:46.760 is prior to me going so in nineteen eighty and 2347 02:06:47.319 --> 02:06:50.399 that dan Ackroyd says to John Belushi, what address did 2348 02:06:50.399 --> 02:06:52.880 you give him? And he gives them the address right 2349 02:06:52.920 --> 02:06:55.720 there on Addison and dan Ackroyd sits back and goes, 2350 02:06:56.159 --> 02:06:57.199 that's wriggly Field. 2351 02:06:58.079 --> 02:06:59.920 You gave him a wriggly Field, do you remember that? 2352 02:07:00.359 --> 02:07:03.239 And the cops showed up and there at Wrigley Field 2353 02:07:03.279 --> 02:07:04.600 and they're like, oh my gosh. 2354 02:07:04.640 --> 02:07:07.039 But so when I got to Chicago, the first time 2355 02:07:07.079 --> 02:07:10.000 I won was nineteen eighty three, and this was the year. 2356 02:07:10.239 --> 02:07:12.199 I'm pretty sure the All Star Game was a COMISKI 2357 02:07:12.520 --> 02:07:14.159 that year as well. And so here it is the 2358 02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:16.199 summer and I get a chance to go over and 2359 02:07:16.239 --> 02:07:19.640 I see Wrigley Field for the very first time. So 2360 02:07:19.880 --> 02:07:22.479 and then years later I was doing a tour with 2361 02:07:23.439 --> 02:07:26.079 the Sally Radio and I made a stop there as well. 2362 02:07:26.119 --> 02:07:28.279 I got a picture right in front. I went back. 2363 02:07:28.359 --> 02:07:31.640 Last time I went back was about five six years ago. 2364 02:07:32.039 --> 02:07:34.319 But just a fantastic you know what, I love that 2365 02:07:34.359 --> 02:07:37.359 whole area. When we talk about Wriggleyville, it's just it's 2366 02:07:37.359 --> 02:07:40.960 the experience when they can put these baseball stadiums and 2367 02:07:41.039 --> 02:07:41.560 have a field. 2368 02:07:41.680 --> 02:07:42.880 It's the same thing with Cincinnati. 2369 02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:45.159 You have places to walk around, you have all the 2370 02:07:45.199 --> 02:07:47.720 restaurants right there on the riverfront, and the same thing 2371 02:07:47.760 --> 02:07:51.239 with Chicago, you have other places to go besides walking 2372 02:07:51.239 --> 02:07:53.800 around seeing that Harry Kerry statue were and seeing all 2373 02:07:53.840 --> 02:07:55.199 the statues all the way around. 2374 02:07:55.520 --> 02:07:57.960 But that's one thing. I love how classic it is. 2375 02:07:58.319 --> 02:08:01.199 So that's one of the things that you like and go, gosh, 2376 02:08:01.199 --> 02:08:04.239 I hope they never build another stadium, even though what's 2377 02:08:04.279 --> 02:08:05.479 going to happen now that. 2378 02:08:05.399 --> 02:08:08.319 It's over one hundred years old. Same thing with Fenway. 2379 02:08:08.399 --> 02:08:11.359 But I don't think that we'll ever, probably in our lifetime, 2380 02:08:11.439 --> 02:08:14.239 see them build another stadium because I think there would 2381 02:08:14.239 --> 02:08:16.279 be an uprising if they ever got. 2382 02:08:16.199 --> 02:08:18.560 Rid of it. Wasn't they Oh yeah, I mean they 2383 02:08:18.560 --> 02:08:23.119 are doing work constantly to bolster the current structure, to 2384 02:08:23.239 --> 02:08:25.800 make sure that they can preserve that history and that 2385 02:08:25.840 --> 02:08:29.840 tradition in those places because it means so much to 2386 02:08:30.439 --> 02:08:35.079 the locals and uh to baseball purists in general. Saint 2387 02:08:35.119 --> 02:08:38.520 Louis Bush Stadium, the new one, what do you think, Oh, 2388 02:08:38.600 --> 02:08:40.039 the new I love the new one. 2389 02:08:40.079 --> 02:08:41.840 I like the way that they had built that in 2390 02:08:41.880 --> 02:08:43.720 there as well, and that they had to build it 2391 02:08:43.760 --> 02:08:45.920 over top of the other one. And when you're walking 2392 02:08:45.960 --> 02:08:48.000 down and you have everything in there in. 2393 02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:50.119 The dotted line. So you'll go over to the Jack 2394 02:08:50.239 --> 02:08:53.279 Buck statue and when you see his bust, you'll see 2395 02:08:53.359 --> 02:08:55.680 right there there's the dotted line. This used to be 2396 02:08:56.039 --> 02:08:57.039 where the field was. 2397 02:08:57.079 --> 02:08:59.359 So it shows you how they had to build one 2398 02:08:59.479 --> 02:09:01.800 inside the the same thing with Shay Stadium and with 2399 02:09:01.880 --> 02:09:04.800 City Field where they had to overlap them because of 2400 02:09:04.840 --> 02:09:07.279 the area, and they couldn't finish one until they had 2401 02:09:07.520 --> 02:09:08.479 the other one done. 2402 02:09:08.640 --> 02:09:12.119 So I do like Bush because I enjoy going over there. 2403 02:09:12.119 --> 02:09:14.840 And by the way, I was talking about Donora on 2404 02:09:14.880 --> 02:09:18.720 my show Donora, Pennsylvania, which happens to be the home 2405 02:09:19.039 --> 02:09:23.600 of stam Usual stam Usual. Also Ken Griffy Senior and 2406 02:09:23.720 --> 02:09:28.079 Ken Griffy Junior are all from Donora, Pennsylvania. Together, those 2407 02:09:28.119 --> 02:09:31.199 three have it more MLB home runs over a thousand 2408 02:09:31.600 --> 02:09:33.960 then came from any other city. All three were born 2409 02:09:34.000 --> 02:09:36.479 in Donor, Pa, just south of Pittsburgh. 2410 02:09:36.520 --> 02:09:40.640 Did you realize that's amazing? That was a very cool 2411 02:09:41.199 --> 02:09:44.520 in Cincinnati. Being in Cincinnati, I should know where the 2412 02:09:44.560 --> 02:09:47.560 Griffies came from originally, and. 2413 02:09:47.560 --> 02:09:49.680 The answer is Donraa on the Monoga Hilla River and 2414 02:09:49.760 --> 02:09:52.359 stam Usual and this statue is you know, there's two 2415 02:09:52.399 --> 02:09:53.039 of them that. 2416 02:09:53.039 --> 02:09:53.479 Are out there. 2417 02:09:53.479 --> 02:09:56.039 And I love that plaza with all the statues out 2418 02:09:56.159 --> 02:09:59.880 front of the stadium. So I enjoy it. Because if 2419 02:09:59.880 --> 02:10:02.279 you dude, like, it's like when you go to Pittsburgh, Hey, 2420 02:10:02.319 --> 02:10:04.000 sit me in the upper deck so. 2421 02:10:04.000 --> 02:10:04.680 I get the view. 2422 02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:06.800 I want to be an upper deck on the leftfield, 2423 02:10:07.039 --> 02:10:09.600 on the leftfield side, so I have a view of Pittsburgh. 2424 02:10:09.640 --> 02:10:11.720 Same thing in Saint Louis where you go, We'll sit 2425 02:10:11.800 --> 02:10:14.920 me down here on the right field side because I 2426 02:10:14.960 --> 02:10:18.039 want the view of the arch. Sometimes I want to 2427 02:10:18.079 --> 02:10:20.439 sit in a place where I get the view more 2428 02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:22.520 than the game because it's like, oh, I love the 2429 02:10:22.640 --> 02:10:24.079 experience of just this view. 2430 02:10:24.680 --> 02:10:27.920 Sure lots to see besides baseball when you go to 2431 02:10:27.960 --> 02:10:31.159 these parks. So you're going to Cooperstown, home of the 2432 02:10:31.199 --> 02:10:34.600 Baseball Hall of Fame, later this week. Tell me about Cooperstown, 2433 02:10:34.600 --> 02:10:37.920 New York. I've never been. Oh, it is so cool. 2434 02:10:37.960 --> 02:10:40.560 So if you're ever in upstate New York, So you. 2435 02:10:40.600 --> 02:10:42.920 Got Buffalo out on the west and the next city's 2436 02:10:42.960 --> 02:10:45.279 of Rochester, Syracuse, and then you come up to U 2437 02:10:45.279 --> 02:10:48.800 to Carome right below Uticrome. This will be west of Albany. 2438 02:10:48.840 --> 02:10:51.319 I just took you right across the New Jersey. 2439 02:10:51.119 --> 02:10:51.680 State through it. 2440 02:10:52.159 --> 02:10:54.960 Then you have Binghamton, which is on that northwest corner 2441 02:10:54.960 --> 02:10:57.000 of Pennsylvania, a little northeast. 2442 02:10:57.039 --> 02:10:58.000 I eighty eight is. 2443 02:10:57.920 --> 02:11:02.399 What connects Binghamton up to Albanyady. And then right there 2444 02:11:02.680 --> 02:11:05.840 in these hilly areas, and this happens to be the 2445 02:11:05.920 --> 02:11:08.760 start of the Susquehanna River, which is really weird. I 2446 02:11:08.800 --> 02:11:11.840 live on the Susquehanna River in Maryland. Now that river 2447 02:11:12.119 --> 02:11:15.199 runs from Cooperstown and it goes all the way down 2448 02:11:15.359 --> 02:11:18.840 through Pennsylvania, comes down through Harrisburg until it finally dumps 2449 02:11:18.880 --> 02:11:21.079 out of the Chesapeake Bay, which is where I live 2450 02:11:21.159 --> 02:11:23.399 right here at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on 2451 02:11:23.520 --> 02:11:25.840 the same river. So all I have to do if 2452 02:11:25.840 --> 02:11:28.239 I could go up the river backwards, I'd end up 2453 02:11:28.279 --> 02:11:32.760 in Cooperstown. But it's this, it's this really small town. 2454 02:11:32.920 --> 02:11:35.279 I just did that. I just had this image of 2455 02:11:35.319 --> 02:11:38.760 you in a rowboat growing backwards. 2456 02:11:39.159 --> 02:11:41.640 Up the river, and eventually, if I could do it, 2457 02:11:41.680 --> 02:11:43.479 I would get to Cooper's down that it'll be a 2458 02:11:43.520 --> 02:11:46.319 lot quicker in my four or five, five, six hours 2459 02:11:46.319 --> 02:11:47.079 to drive up there. 2460 02:11:47.119 --> 02:11:48.119 But here's one thing. 2461 02:11:48.199 --> 02:11:51.479 I've never been to Cooperstown during the Baseball Hall of 2462 02:11:51.479 --> 02:11:54.479 Fame weekend, so this is going to be the experience 2463 02:11:54.600 --> 02:11:58.000 I'm used to driving in and then going. 2464 02:11:57.760 --> 02:12:00.159 Oh, this is really cool. I can drive around. I'll 2465 02:12:00.239 --> 02:12:01.720 just park here. Now. 2466 02:12:01.920 --> 02:12:05.199 I have no idea what do you expect for this weekend. 2467 02:12:05.720 --> 02:12:08.600 I just know that the induction ceremony for Joe's going 2468 02:12:08.680 --> 02:12:10.960 to be on the north side, so I may have 2469 02:12:11.039 --> 02:12:13.640 to go into a loop into Utica Rome and then 2470 02:12:13.680 --> 02:12:16.880 come down from the top because our event is going 2471 02:12:16.960 --> 02:12:19.000 to be on the north side, right there before the 2472 02:12:19.039 --> 02:12:19.880 Susquehanna River. 2473 02:12:20.159 --> 02:12:22.079 But I love it though. Walk. You know what made 2474 02:12:22.119 --> 02:12:22.560 me want to go. 2475 02:12:22.560 --> 02:12:24.159 To the Baseball Hall of Fame in the movie A 2476 02:12:24.239 --> 02:12:26.600 League of their Own, A League of their Own, which 2477 02:12:27.159 --> 02:12:29.199 is film not too far away from you out there 2478 02:12:29.199 --> 02:12:31.399 in Huntingburg, Indiana and then Evansville. 2479 02:12:31.760 --> 02:12:33.319 They were the two stadiums that were used. 2480 02:12:33.560 --> 02:12:35.840 And then when they did the All for the women 2481 02:12:36.039 --> 02:12:37.479 for the Baseball Hall of Fame, and I saw it 2482 02:12:37.520 --> 02:12:39.159 in the movie, I said, I'm going to go find 2483 02:12:39.159 --> 02:12:40.920 that park and I went to it, and they have 2484 02:12:40.960 --> 02:12:41.760 a bigger section. 2485 02:12:42.119 --> 02:12:43.800 It's not the one that they used in the movie. 2486 02:12:43.840 --> 02:12:45.000 That's not where it is now. 2487 02:12:45.239 --> 02:12:48.199 They did a big section now for the women, but 2488 02:12:48.520 --> 02:12:49.439 that's another section. 2489 02:12:49.479 --> 02:12:51.840 But I found it right at the bottom of the escalators. 2490 02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:54.720 So I love that place. It's fun to see Flash 2491 02:12:54.720 --> 02:12:57.560 Phelps from Sirius XM as our guest. We're talking about 2492 02:12:57.560 --> 02:13:01.359 baseball across the country and this Hall of Fame and 2493 02:13:01.920 --> 02:13:06.560 also All Star Week in Major League Baseball. Just because 2494 02:13:06.680 --> 02:13:09.479 our time is limited, let's do a couple of quick 2495 02:13:09.520 --> 02:13:11.960 snapshots out on the West Coast since we haven't been 2496 02:13:11.960 --> 02:13:17.159 there yet. Flash Candlestick Park. Tell me something about Candlestick Park. Well, 2497 02:13:17.199 --> 02:13:19.159 it's not there now, I know. You go there. 2498 02:13:19.239 --> 02:13:22.079 It was very windy that was right there and then 2499 02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:25.319 became three m But what a great view to look out, 2500 02:13:25.399 --> 02:13:27.439 and because you almost see Oakland from there, it was 2501 02:13:27.479 --> 02:13:29.760 a great view on the Bay side to be able 2502 02:13:29.800 --> 02:13:32.760 to see Candlestick before they had built all the way 2503 02:13:32.880 --> 02:13:35.640 up there with the Willie May statue in downtown. 2504 02:13:35.760 --> 02:13:40.079 But no, I like Candlestick. I stopped by twice. I've 2505 02:13:40.079 --> 02:13:40.399 been there. 2506 02:13:40.439 --> 02:13:42.760 I was there twice and then finally it was sad 2507 02:13:42.800 --> 02:13:44.039 to hear it was gone. You know what I was 2508 02:13:44.079 --> 02:13:47.439 thinking about the earthquake nineteen eighty nine. Yes, Oakland, a 2509 02:13:47.720 --> 02:13:51.880 San Francisco Giants are playing, and then that earthquake hits 2510 02:13:51.920 --> 02:13:54.439 at Candlestick. So every time I would go back, I 2511 02:13:54.560 --> 02:13:56.880 think of that. But yeah, I like the park, but 2512 02:13:56.920 --> 02:13:59.760 I'm glad they now have this with the McCovey cove 2513 02:14:00.159 --> 02:14:02.279 there where I can be in their kayak and try 2514 02:14:02.279 --> 02:14:04.600 to get night field home run over the wall. 2515 02:14:04.760 --> 02:14:07.479 That's fun. Tell me about Seattle where the Mariners play. 2516 02:14:08.399 --> 02:14:09.000 That was a good one. 2517 02:14:09.039 --> 02:14:11.000 I saw the Orioles play there with them because I 2518 02:14:11.159 --> 02:14:13.800 moved out there in nineteen ninety nine, and so the 2519 02:14:13.800 --> 02:14:15.960 summer of two thousand and I finally got a chance 2520 02:14:16.000 --> 02:14:16.159 to go. 2521 02:14:16.239 --> 02:14:18.439 It's called t mobile now a safe go back when 2522 02:14:18.479 --> 02:14:18.880 I went there. 2523 02:14:18.960 --> 02:14:22.399 Yeah, and it's just a very nice one because that's 2524 02:14:22.399 --> 02:14:25.000 the one with the retractable roof. They can move that roof. 2525 02:14:25.039 --> 02:14:27.239 And luckily I got a chance to have a game 2526 02:14:27.279 --> 02:14:29.279 with a doll because it wasn't raining that it was amazing. 2527 02:14:29.319 --> 02:14:31.760 It wasn't raining, and I was in western Washington, so 2528 02:14:31.920 --> 02:14:34.560 that's always a great place. But yeah, I've had a 2529 02:14:34.560 --> 02:14:37.439 good time because it's just like Cincinnati where you have 2530 02:14:37.439 --> 02:14:40.359 your football stadium right next door, and it's right there 2531 02:14:40.359 --> 02:14:42.079 on the south side of the buildings, and it's a 2532 02:14:42.119 --> 02:14:45.479 great walking area. Seattle always a lot of fun to 2533 02:14:45.560 --> 02:14:46.479 be able to be around. 2534 02:14:46.479 --> 02:14:47.560 So yeah, I did enjoy that. 2535 02:14:47.720 --> 02:14:50.279 Tacoma their Triple A right down there. I went to 2536 02:14:50.319 --> 02:14:53.960 go see a Tacoma Rainiers game when they played Saltlake Beeves. 2537 02:14:54.119 --> 02:14:56.079 So I tried to go see as many of these 2538 02:14:56.079 --> 02:14:56.520 as I can. 2539 02:14:56.600 --> 02:14:59.840 If not, I definitely walk around all the outside of 2540 02:15:00.000 --> 02:15:01.920 stadium and do as many photos as I can if 2541 02:15:01.960 --> 02:15:02.520 I can't get in. 2542 02:15:02.640 --> 02:15:04.880 Yeah, you're big on that. I love the photo. I 2543 02:15:04.880 --> 02:15:08.560 love that you put out Denver where the Rockies play. 2544 02:15:08.880 --> 02:15:11.600 Yeah, that is a fantastic place. In fact, just a 2545 02:15:11.640 --> 02:15:13.520 little a couple of miles west of there, they did 2546 02:15:13.520 --> 02:15:16.640 a replica to the stadium as well of corse Field, 2547 02:15:17.039 --> 02:15:19.039 So if you want to see a little version of it, 2548 02:15:19.199 --> 02:15:21.159 somebody was able to put it together as well, So 2549 02:15:21.199 --> 02:15:23.640 look up the little version of Corsfield. But again, they 2550 02:15:23.680 --> 02:15:26.319 built that in another neighborhood right there on the west 2551 02:15:26.319 --> 02:15:29.079 side of downtown, northwest side of downtown. You got six 2552 02:15:29.119 --> 02:15:32.000 flags right there as well, and it's just in a 2553 02:15:32.119 --> 02:15:33.239 very nice area. 2554 02:15:33.319 --> 02:15:35.479 And that again being a mile high. 2555 02:15:35.319 --> 02:15:38.239 Being at the two hundred and eighty feet, it's amazing 2556 02:15:38.600 --> 02:15:41.680 to watch how the balls do fly there. 2557 02:15:42.159 --> 02:15:43.399 I always like Denver, Denver. 2558 02:15:43.560 --> 02:15:45.800 I always wanted to work there, but I went to 2559 02:15:45.800 --> 02:15:48.359 Colorado Springs and they never put me on the air, 2560 02:15:48.479 --> 02:15:52.600 so I never got to work in Colorado. Dodger Stadium, 2561 02:15:53.119 --> 02:15:56.039 Dodger Stadium, I went there and this was back and 2562 02:15:56.600 --> 02:15:58.800 I had just started working here, so this is about 2563 02:15:58.840 --> 02:16:03.039 two thousand and two three, And you know what amazed me. 2564 02:16:03.399 --> 02:16:05.680 I got there early, so I could walk around even 2565 02:16:05.720 --> 02:16:08.000 the perimeter of the parking lot because they had the 2566 02:16:08.079 --> 02:16:10.479 views that looked over Echo Lake and you could look 2567 02:16:10.520 --> 02:16:14.199 back into downtown LA. But I was there on the 2568 02:16:14.319 --> 02:16:16.960 mezzanine to be able to watch that game, and it 2569 02:16:17.039 --> 02:16:19.119 was one of those that I had always seen on TV, 2570 02:16:19.600 --> 02:16:21.560 whether or not they were doing celebrity games. 2571 02:16:21.640 --> 02:16:24.600 And it was so cool because I saw. 2572 02:16:25.520 --> 02:16:30.600 George what's his name, George from the TV the Star, 2573 02:16:31.279 --> 02:16:32.399 I can't think of his last name. 2574 02:16:32.840 --> 02:16:33.360 He was there. 2575 02:16:33.399 --> 02:16:37.559 He was he was, you know, the comedian George, George Lopez, 2576 02:16:38.239 --> 02:16:40.239 George Lopez. He was there. So I got a chance 2577 02:16:40.239 --> 02:16:41.840 to see George. Yeah, that was very cool. 2578 02:16:42.040 --> 02:16:44.760 And Tommy Lasorda was sitting right near him, and I 2579 02:16:44.840 --> 02:16:48.000 had had Tommy Lasorda on my show. So George and 2580 02:16:48.000 --> 02:16:50.399 Tommy Lasorda, I was excited just to see them. 2581 02:16:50.520 --> 02:16:54.040 Oh that's and you know who I didn't see? 2582 02:16:54.040 --> 02:16:56.280 It was Mary Hart and Mary Heart usually sits right 2583 02:16:56.319 --> 02:16:57.840 behind home plate, but I didn't see her. 2584 02:16:58.000 --> 02:17:01.239 All right, So finally we're the home run Derby is 2585 02:17:01.280 --> 02:17:03.760 taking place this evening as we're speaking, and where the 2586 02:17:03.799 --> 02:17:06.639 All Star Game would be played a Globe Live field 2587 02:17:06.680 --> 02:17:08.799 in Arlington, Texas. Tell me about that. 2588 02:17:08.879 --> 02:17:11.559 Yeah, now, right across the strait, if you're familiar with 2589 02:17:11.639 --> 02:17:15.079 going into Arlington, very crowded, because that's where six Flags started. 2590 02:17:15.239 --> 02:17:17.559 Why is it called six Flags because six Flags flew 2591 02:17:17.600 --> 02:17:20.159 over Texas. Right next to there, they have the stadium 2592 02:17:20.159 --> 02:17:22.000 where they used to play. Now they have soccer in there. 2593 02:17:22.159 --> 02:17:26.159 They built the new baseball stadium directly across the street, 2594 02:17:26.399 --> 02:17:28.399 and they built it to look like a warehouse. It 2595 02:17:28.440 --> 02:17:30.079 was one of the weirdest things where they were building 2596 02:17:30.120 --> 02:17:32.079 that thing. It was like, this is not going to 2597 02:17:32.159 --> 02:17:34.559 be good. It wasn't until it was done and then 2598 02:17:34.600 --> 02:17:36.639 you'd see the inside to go. Oh, this is a 2599 02:17:36.680 --> 02:17:38.799 great area because if you've ever been, you know, the 2600 02:17:38.840 --> 02:17:42.239 Cowboys play at AT and T on the west side. 2601 02:17:42.680 --> 02:17:45.440 Then now you have their stadium for the Rangers, and 2602 02:17:45.479 --> 02:17:47.680 then on the north side is the old Rangers stadium. 2603 02:17:47.959 --> 02:17:51.079 So it's just a really nice thing that they built 2604 02:17:51.120 --> 02:17:54.079 them all next to each other, so a big growing area. 2605 02:17:54.399 --> 02:17:56.719 And they only opened up that in twenty twenty. Now, 2606 02:17:56.719 --> 02:17:58.200 when I was down there a couple of weeks ago, 2607 02:17:58.559 --> 02:18:01.479 I didn't go back over, but the last time I 2608 02:18:01.559 --> 02:18:03.479 was there was twenty twenty one. 2609 02:18:04.200 --> 02:18:05.079 It was the year. 2610 02:18:05.079 --> 02:18:08.159 It was right after they had opened it. So fantastic. 2611 02:18:08.200 --> 02:18:11.120 And we'll look forward to Home Run Derby All Star 2612 02:18:11.200 --> 02:18:13.719 Game and just see how it comes out. Hey, Gunnar 2613 02:18:13.760 --> 02:18:16.159 Henderson with the Ohs, he's in the Home Run Derby. 2614 02:18:16.360 --> 02:18:18.920 Well, and we got to La Da La Cruz in 2615 02:18:19.040 --> 02:18:22.520 the game tomorrow night and Hunter Green appear and. 2616 02:18:22.559 --> 02:18:26.799 Talk about some incredible people that are in this game. Yeah, 2617 02:18:26.840 --> 02:18:29.479 well they call it the All Star Game for a reason. 2618 02:18:31.799 --> 02:18:34.479 Hey, these guys are good, and you know what they 2619 02:18:34.760 --> 02:18:38.520 somebody just told me that there's never been over twenty 2620 02:18:38.639 --> 02:18:41.840 one run score during a game of any All Star game. 2621 02:18:42.040 --> 02:18:44.360 So there's a lot of good defense in pitching. Yeah, 2622 02:18:44.399 --> 02:18:46.239 no doubt about it. Well, you got the best in 2623 02:18:46.280 --> 02:18:49.520 the game plan and yeah, and I got the best 2624 02:18:49.520 --> 02:18:51.520 in the game of travel on my show again, and 2625 02:18:51.559 --> 02:18:54.239 I thank you so much.
