00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>By Billy Cunningham to Great America, and welcome this Monday

2
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>afternoon at the Triestay, getting ready for better weather after

3
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 1>terrible weather and supposed to be down to zero in

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a day or two. But this week and according to

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Tony Bender in his forecast, good friend of Tony Sands,

6
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Tony Bender, this weekend supposed to be like forty two

7
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>degrees in rain, and we need it badly, need it

8
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>real bad. But until then. Christopher Smitherman has been in

9
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>public service in private work for about twenty five years.

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>He's a father of a beautiful swimmer. He sent me

11
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a video of Camille swimming like she was a fish,

12
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>so she might be an Olympic swimmer one day. But

13
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>we want to talk about competency of government and so

14
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>much more. DEI, which is DEI out to be dee?

15
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 1>What's happening in California? And Christopher Smitherman, welcome again to

16
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the Bill Cunningham Show. Is a former vice mayor of

17
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the City of Cincinnati. And when you look at what's

18
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>happening with Mayor Karen Bass, the Fire Department, the Governor

19
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Newsom is a complete joke. Of course, I found

20
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 1>out yesterday in one of the Face the Nation interviews

21
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that the head of FEMA says that those in LA

22
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 1>right now are doing a great job, a great job.

23
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Great we need If that's a great job, I don't

24
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>want to see a bad job. But they're doing a

25
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>great job there, and everything's great, everything's good. So, as

26
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 1>a public official of the past maybe of the future,

27
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>what comes to your mind about the response and the

28
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>preparation for this catastrophe in the city of Angels.

29
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, you know, Governor knew. Someone has had to

30
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>have known, right, I'm being facetious that two parts of

31
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>natural disasters that he had nothing to do with in

32
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 2>California are earthquakes and fires. And so it just seems

33
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>like the executive for the for the state of California

34
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 2>has been accent and so this notion that you know,

35
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 2>you need to clear brush, you need to have water,

36
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>you need to have infrastructure water or fire hydrants that water,

37
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>you have a fire, right And so what's been so

38
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>interesting is all the pointing of fingers of him, like

39
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>he's even trying to blame this on President elect Trump.

40
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>That guy he's not even he's not even the president

41
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 2>until the twentieth So that doesn't work. And so this

42
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>notion that you have failed government with the mayor who

43
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 2>as you know within Africa. But what was most interesting

44
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>about is she she declared the state of an emergency

45
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and then left the country.

46
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Like who does that?

47
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>And so elections, Willly Cunningham have consequences, and so what's

48
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be interesting is will they recall the government government,

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>governor will they recall the mayor? And out in with

50
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>this comment and turn it back to you as a

51
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>as a financial planner, you know, and looking at property,

52
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 2>meaning still most Americans have a lot of their wealth

53
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>wrapped up in their homes and the ownership the equity

54
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>in their homes. Most of those homes aren't covered by insurance.

55
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>And so the reality of rebuilding it and understanding that

56
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>so many people lost everything not only did they lose

57
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>all of their personal memories, but they also lost all

58
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>of their equity in those properties. That this is going

59
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 2>to be incredibly interesting. And I can't even get my

60
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>head wrapped around the side of the number of homes

61
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>and structures, whether they're whether they're they're schools, whether they

62
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>are private homes. How big is that space and what

63
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 2>does that recovery look like under a new administration. So

64
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>this is going to This is a devastating thing, and

65
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I think Governor k Newsom should be recalled and by

66
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>the way, we should learn from this that, you know,

67
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 2>having this kind of uh is one of the reasons

68
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I love John Cranley as the mayor. He was a

69
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 2>blue dog Democrat. He was a working mayor, was willing

70
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>to take tough positions, unlike Mayor pure Ball. The question

71
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>right now is if we had a flood, right we

72
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>always know we got the Ohio River. Every while there's

73
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>a flood. We just got a big snow, and I

74
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>would say that they get an f not because of

75
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 2>the men in women that were doing the work, is

76
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>because this mayor, Mayor Purval had all our side streets

77
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 2>really not plowed. It's why a lot of the schools

78
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>could not open. Because anybody listening to me who lives

79
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>in the fifty two neighborhoods knows that our private streets

80
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>weren't plowed, even though some of the public. So you know, again,

81
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>elections have consequences, and oftentimes citizens don't wake up until

82
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>they have a tragedy, like we're looking in California.

83
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Christopher, I'm looking in the headline from the New York Times,

84
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 1>so if it's the New York Times, it must be accurate.

85
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 1>It's under a date of January the twelfth of this year,

86
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and the headline is before taking office, LA's mayor said

87
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>she would not go abroad, and this came out because

88
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 1>she frequently took trips when she was in the House

89
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>of Representatives for twenty some years. She would travel to

90
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Africa to Cuba on a regular basis. And the story

91
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>points out that you indicated to us, mayor that you

92
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>would not travel abroad. What change. She didn't answer the

93
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>question whatsoever. She had been to Cuba. She loved the

94
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Cuba paradise, so the way al Castro and Rayoul ran Cuba.

95
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>She went there seventeen times and never came back to

96
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 1>criticize anything about the way Cuba was run. She also

97
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>has gone to Africa at least twenty seven times, and

98
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 1>she traveled to Ghana, and God blessed Ghana. It might

99
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 1>be a good place to be. I'm not sure, but

100
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>she declares an emergency because here comes to Santa Ana wins.

101
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Guess what it is tender dry, and it's worse than

102
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 1>tender dry because for two consecutive rainy seasons. They had

103
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>too much rain, which meant the foliage grew up even

104
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>more than normal, so there was more. And then six

105
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>months of drought meant it was completely dry. And La

106
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>is a grassland and it's a desert. So when you

107
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>live in a desert, and you live in a grassland,

108
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and you have high foliage, and you have high winds

109
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>up to one hundred miles an hour, and a spark

110
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>could set off a complete disaster. The last thing to

111
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>do is get on a plane and fly from Los

112
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Angeles to Ghana, which is summer in Africa, while the

113
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>crisis is ongoing. She comes back, doesn't answer questions, doesn't

114
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>know what she's doing. So I would point out that the

115
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>headline is before taking off as LA's mayor said she

116
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 1>will not travel abroad. She said, quote, I may go

117
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>to Washington, d C. Or Sacramento, San Francisco, or New York,

118
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>all in relationship to LA. I wonder why the grypta

119
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 1>the trip to Ghana was relatable to Los Angeles, And

120
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. But she's in Ghana and all

121
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>health's breaking loose, and now you got me all pissed off.

122
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>She went to the inauguration of President Claudia shinbaumb But

123
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 1>she justified that, she said, because after all, that's our neighbor.

124
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>She also went to France three times for the twenty

125
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty four Olympic Games in Paris. This is her travel itinerary.

126
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm thinking, what the hell's going on? Will she

127
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>be held to account? My answers, no, what do you

128
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>say about that? If anything? And by the way, this

129
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>is one of the most predicted disasters in the history

130
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 1>of mankind. We know when the High River was flooding,

131
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>like what was it, ninety ninety five, ninety seven, something

132
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>like that. Here comes the river ninety six, it's rising.

133
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>What do we do, Well, we had a mayor in charge.

134
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do this, is gonna do that. We have

135
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>this pre preposition Nothing was preposisioned. There was no water

136
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>in the reservoirs. The governor, Gavin Newsen, blew up three

137
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>dams because it hurt the smeltfishes spawning. I've never seen

138
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>a smeltfish spawn. I'm not sure what the hell that is.

139
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 1>But it got rid of all their pools of water.

140
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>He could and then said, everything's dry. And by the way,

141
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it's Trump's fault. Now there's a question in there somewhere,

142
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>can you answer it?

143
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, just look at what happened in Florida. You know

144
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>we had hurricanes there, but you had a governor who

145
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>understood about how to rally the troops, how to build confidence,

146
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 2>that most importantly, how to make sure that the people

147
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>that you know that he loves you know when you're

148
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>governing that you take care of it. Let me just

149
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>make make a point here, is that when you are

150
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a president, a governor, a mayor, or a county commissioner,

151
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 2>those are executive positions, right. It's not like the legislature

152
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>can high you're doing policy. You have to be have

153
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>some type of business understanding because you are running something.

154
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>What it just shows is that the mayor, no matter

155
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>her race, no matter her gender, she's incompetent, just like

156
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 2>the governor of California. So when you are when you're

157
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 2>just a pretty boy and you're just out there, da

158
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>da da da da, and you're running around and you

159
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>can hide behind a lot of talk, a lot of

160
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>wordsmithing kinds of things like the like the vice president

161
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>meaning Vice President Harris who just ran. My point is

162
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>that you when you're trying to run for these executive

163
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 2>positions and you get them and you have a crisis

164
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.399
<v Speaker 2>like this, it uncovers you're incompetent. This is somebody that

165
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 2>probably has never run a business, has no understanding of

166
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>a budget, right and now now California is figuring it out.

167
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 2>But they're figuring it out with all of their homes

168
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>being burned to the ground. Yes, she will not be

169
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 2>re elected. She will not be re elected. And Governor

170
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Newsom will never ever be the president of the United

171
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 2>States of America. This is this is the end of

172
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>his political career. I have no way we're going to

173
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 2>allow him. There's no way we're going to allow him

174
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>to be the executive of a trillion trillion trillion dollar

175
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>budget when he can't even run California. There's no way

176
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>he'll set the entire country on fire with these kind

177
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>of environmental extremes. You and I understand that we can recycle,

178
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>but there's no way. And we're going to think about

179
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a fish over the people that were governing where literally

180
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the reservoirs are just empty and your fire hydrants aren't

181
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>even working.

182
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, Christopher guy.

183
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 2>They have one guy who on Willie They had one

184
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 2>guy who created a contraction, who was literally using his

185
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>pool to put out water put out fires that were

186
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>happening around his house. Right he literally took a plump

187
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and was like, man, I got to I gotta fight

188
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the fire myself. That's when you know the government has

189
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 2>failed you.

190
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, Christopher, when you think about the mayor declaring an

191
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>emergency then flying about seven thousand miles away to Ghana,

192
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 1>and think about Gavin Newsom, the governor California. He's noted

193
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>for eating out in a fancy of French restaurant during

194
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>the height of the COVID lockdown, but he was the

195
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>governor and he didn't have a mask on. He was

196
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>yucking it up with bottles of wine, eating fancy food

197
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and drinking fancy wine when many in California couldn't do

198
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 1>a damn thing. That's Gavin Newsom. But the big issue here,

199
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I think many is DEI, which is de The entire

200
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 1>government in the state of California Special Los Angeles are

201
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>dedicated to DEI principles and the fire chief, shall we say,

202
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>is a member of the gay rights community. Her deputy

203
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>chief is a black lesbian and they promote and they

204
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 1>hire not based upon merit, not based upon qualifications, but

205
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>based upon race and gender. So when they say diversity,

206
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not diversity. It's excluding an entire race of people.

207
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 1>So you change the object of the discrimination from a

208
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 1>black person to a white person, then you call that diversity.

209
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this will cause some to think, wait

210
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a minute, we can't be hiring and firing and promoting

211
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 1>based upon skin color or sexual orientation. Shouldn't merit and

212
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>competency playing in this maybe one time, just a little bit,

213
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the answer might be no, and you're hopeful that maybe

214
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the voters will come to their senses. I doubt it

215
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>because I look at Chicago. When Lori Lighthead was up there,

216
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>destroyed Chicago. So what do they do? They elect put

217
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 1>in power a more radical leftists guy named Brandon Johnson

218
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>who's now the mayor of Chicago. He's got an approval

219
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 1>rating of seventeen percent, So likely they'll maybe shift the

220
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 1>chairs around a little bit. I have no hope that

221
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>California is going to do anything but keep doing what

222
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 1>they're doing. And lastly, I'll say this, your family goes

223
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 1>deep into the groundwater of Cincinnati. I don't think I

224
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>reference this to you in the past. But you know

225
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the People's judge. Penny was in christ Hospital for four

226
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 1>days with a broken pelvis, and there was a little

227
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 1>room at the end of that floor. I walked into

228
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the room and it was dedicated to your father, doctor Smitherman,

229
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at that. I'm going, hey, I know

230
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 1>that guy's son, Smitherman. Smitherman. There's a room at Christ's

231
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Hospital with your daddy's name on it. And so no

232
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>one can say when Smitherman was hired to represent the

233
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 1>American people, you didn't know what you were doing. No

234
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>one could say that fairly. In fact, you knew what

235
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you were doing. And your family's been in this community

236
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>for decades doing great work, and so DEI doesn't apply

237
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 1>when you when you walked around as vice mayor of

238
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the city council, was there any suspicion that you were

239
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 1>there because of your skin color or was it simply

240
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 1>your confidence? You know what I'm saying.

241
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Listen.

242
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 2>I remember John Cranley, who was a friend of mine

243
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.399
<v Speaker 2>and I thought served as a great mayor because he

244
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>was willing to take tough positions. And actually, on a

245
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>snow day you could find John Cranley on a truck.

246
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>You could find him on a garbage truck. I mean,

247
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>he was a guy that was a working mayor. But

248
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this. I remember a meeting that we were

249
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>discussing with Procter and Gamble the taxation of stock options.

250
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.039
<v Speaker 2>And so John Cranley, mayor John Craanley had communicated to

251
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Procter and Gamble with their accountants that this guy actually

252
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 2>understands so matters, so be prepared, and they weren't. And

253
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 2>so he looked at me over the meeting and he

254
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 2>looked at him and he says, I'm serious with you,

255
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 2>that this guy understands exact face and a stop officer.

256
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 2>But here here's my point to you. Here's my point

257
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.879
<v Speaker 2>to you that that that Newsome is is governoring newsm

258
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>is a white man, right clearly. So the reality of

259
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>it is what what I hear you saying, and I

260
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 2>think anybody understands this is that no matter what the

261
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>race is, no matter what the gender is, and no

262
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 2>matter what the sexual orientation is, people have to know

263
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.200
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing in these positions. Period Number two I

264
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.519
<v Speaker 2>will say to you is that people like Condolas the Rights,

265
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>who I have tremendous respect for right, her intelligence, the

266
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>way she carried herself, how she served our country. Colon Powell,

267
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 2>we can go through an entire list, being Carson, people

268
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.519
<v Speaker 2>who have served our country. But here's what I will

269
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 2>say say to you is that we know that no

270
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 2>matter what your race is, your gender, there are competent

271
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 2>people who can serve in those capacities. What you are

272
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.320
<v Speaker 2>saying here is no matter the race, no matter the gender,

273
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and no matter the sexual orientation, we must elect competent

274
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 2>people in these positions. And what is happening in California

275
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.120
<v Speaker 2>is just underscoring that that we have an incompetent governor

276
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>who is white and a white male. We have an

277
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 2>incompetent mayor who's an African American female. And it doesn't

278
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 2>matter to you and I. At the end of the day,

279
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>when your damn house is on fire and everything you

280
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>have is burning to the ground, you don't care. You

281
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 2>want a fire truck showing up to put out the fire.

282
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.799
<v Speaker 2>And guess what California has been has been unable to

283
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>deliver those kinds of basic services. And I'm going to

284
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.759
<v Speaker 2>speak to Cincinnati because we have a mayorial race coming up,

285
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and we have a council. When will we wake up

286
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and make sure that we're electing competent people in those positions.

287
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>We need a working mayor down there every day trying

288
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.679
<v Speaker 2>to solve big problems, not one that's sitting around trying

289
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 2>to look good. Who who's giving these great, big speeches

290
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>in the sky. We are one step away. We are

291
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>one step away from California. It's not a fire, it's

292
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>a flood. It's not a fire. It's the whole Cincinnati

293
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>retirement system going under and sending the City of Cincinnati

294
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.679
<v Speaker 2>into bankruptcy. One day, we're gonna have to face that

295
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati retirement system. We're gonna have to and the taxpayers

296
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>are going to have to face it. But we don't

297
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 2>have a mayor who really understands it. Our mayor is

298
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 2>looking for the next gig. Here out in with this

299
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 2>with mayor pure ball. You and I know that if

300
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Vice President Harris had won, he'd be gone, Oh, he's

301
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.679
<v Speaker 2>looking for the next game. We've got to elect a

302
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>mayor who wants to be the damn mayor. That's what

303
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>they get up every day and say, I want to

304
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.399
<v Speaker 2>make my city better and I'm willing to do what

305
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.080
<v Speaker 2>it takes to do it. Mayor Purval is looking for

306
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 2>his next gig, and as soon as he gets it,

307
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he's gone.

308
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, lastly, I would say, the deputy chief, who is

309
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a black, a gay person and female LA was asking

310
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 1>a news conference. This was a person very slight, well,

311
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 1>what happens if someone's got to pick up one hundred

312
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 1>and seventy five pound mail out of a burning building

313
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and walk them down the ladder. And the deputy chief said, well,

314
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that guy shouldn't have put himself in that place in

315
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 1>the first place. And I'm going to wait a minute,

316
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what, and hire somebody. I don't care

317
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>if I have a fire. I want someone to I

318
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.519
<v Speaker 1>don't care if they're black, white, or polka dot. I

319
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>want harry as men or Harry ass women that can

320
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.679
<v Speaker 1>do the job irrespective of their gender or their race.

321
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.399
<v Speaker 1>And we don't have that in American society. There's forms

322
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 1>of discrimination now being practiced against a different race than

323
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party used to violate, which were black folks

324
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>for one hundred and fifty years. Now it's flipped the

325
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.320
<v Speaker 1>entire different direction. But Christopher, we got to run. Always

326
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>good to hear from you, But will.

327
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 2>It be Before we get off, let me say two

328
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 2>things to you. Okay, Number one, you were stuck on

329
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.159
<v Speaker 2>your own roof. Yes, and I'm sure you wanted.

330
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:03.360
<v Speaker 4>A firefightre Yes, get you off in commercials. Your commercials

331
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 4>are hilarious. They have made limitade out of Limit's brother.

332
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>So when you were calling in that nine one one call,

333
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.000
<v Speaker 2>you wanted somebody who was going who was going to

334
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.720
<v Speaker 2>take care of number one? Number two again as a

335
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>as a licensed financial planner who understands property and casually.

336
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 2>That is going to be the big story about rebuilding California,

337
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Meaning you're going to see predators out there taking advantage

338
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.880
<v Speaker 2>of families, middle class and wealthy families who cannot afford

339
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild because they didn't have fire insurance because this governor,

340
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 2>the mayor, the entire administration failed him. That is what

341
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.519
<v Speaker 2>the real tragedy is the rebuild of that. And they're

342
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be thanking God. Remember I told you this

343
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>that President Trump was elected, because you're going to have

344
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody with a business sense that's going to be able

345
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.440
<v Speaker 2>to say this is how we fix it.

346
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, when when the shmeltfish is spawning, I care a

347
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>lot more about people's lives and their property that I

348
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.480
<v Speaker 1>care about a smelt fish fish that I may put

349
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>on a piece of toast. But Christopher Smitherman, thanks again

350
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>for coming on the Bill Cunningham show. You're you're an

351
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 1>island of sanity and a sea of intranquility. But Christopher,

352
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.319
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much.

353
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

354
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Brother, God bless America. Let's continue with more. When I

355
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>was on the roof, I didn't care who came, but

356
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.720
<v Speaker 1>just get me off the damn roof. I don't want

357
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to DEI hire showing up saying I'm sorry, I can't.

358
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I can't help you at all. But I was hard

359
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 1>for the right reason. Give me somebody else. Are you

360
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 1>kidding me? This is Cunningham. I need help. On seven

361
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:42.519
<v Speaker 1>hundred WLW HI Billy Cunningham, the Great America. A little

362
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>bit of relief from the weather we're having this weekend,

363
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be in the forties and rain, which is

364
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>badly needed. Until then, we have to go through Tuesday

365
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 1>and Wednesday with temperatures near zero. We'll see what happens

366
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>down the road. If somebody talks about global warming again,

367
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 1>I may kick them between the legs or in the butt.

368
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 1>I could use global warming right now one point five

369
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 1>degrees celsius has gone up maybe in the last forty years,

370
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.079
<v Speaker 1>and we obsess over things like global warming and climate

371
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 1>change things in that character. I'm against pollution, but I

372
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 1>do not think human beings can profoundly affect the climate

373
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 1>of this great world of ours by maybe driving an

374
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 1>ev or by doing other having a different garbage bind

375
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>for plastic I don't get it, but nonetheless the most

376
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>of the American people agree with me. I'm watching this

377
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 1>morning CNN's Harry Enton had a poll from Gallup about

378
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>whether the American people are greatly or mainly concerned about

379
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:42.119
<v Speaker 1>global warming, and more than half the American people said no.

380
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 1>In fact, the number's gone down the last ten years

381
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 1>instead of up. Because when you listen to talk radio,

382
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 1>as you do here, hopefully you understand from the experts,

383
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>from scientists that we have the same number of hurricanes

384
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 1>today as we had sixty seventy eighty years ago, same numbers,

385
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>same veracity. The difference too many people are living out

386
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the shoreline, too much development where hurricanes used to peter

387
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:09.279
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit. But now, of course, the media

388
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.519
<v Speaker 1>goes crazy when the grasslands and desert areas have fires.

389
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Head on a guest last night that talked about this

390
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:23.759
<v Speaker 1>that LA is built on grasslands and desert. Largely Southern

391
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:28.279
<v Speaker 1>California is a desert with grasslands, and these fires, especially

392
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>it's so called Santa Anita winds are part of Mother

393
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Nature's plan to clean up some of the underbrush and

394
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.119
<v Speaker 1>away we go. And the reason is so bad now

395
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is because so many people are built so close to

396
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the ocean and a grassland and a sandy soil, which allows,

397
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>especially in certain circumstances, for large fires. The last two years,

398
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 1>there's been an abundance of rain in southern California and

399
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that caused the foliage to grow up higher, higher and higher.

400
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 1>The last six months there's been a little or no rain,

401
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 1>which means it was dried out. So there you have

402
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>extra full and you have dry conditions. Then you have

403
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 1>completely incompetent administration in LA, much like in Cincinnati or

404
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>New York City or Chicago, by liberal Democrats who care

405
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.119
<v Speaker 1>more about DEI than they care about filling up the reservoirs.

406
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:17.200
<v Speaker 1>At this point, it appears that there was sufficient water available,

407
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 1>but the government of Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass would

408
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 1>not allow it because of the spawning schmeltfish and also

409
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.359
<v Speaker 1>the salmon runs. So he took down three or four

410
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.039
<v Speaker 1>dams in order to make it more easy for fish

411
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to spawn at the expense of human lives and literally

412
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of billions of dollars that they expect you and

413
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I to spend. When I speak to those in the

414
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 1>insurance industry, they tell me that insurance companies are not

415
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>a bottomist pit of money. That all State and State

416
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Farm and several others, Chubb Fireman's Fund have all dropped

417
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 1>out of southern California because they can't stand the losses.

418
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 1>No business can. They're talking about a loss here of

419
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>half a billion dollars I'm sorry, half a trillion dollars,

420
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>which amounts to five hundred billion dollars in losses. And

421
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:08.440
<v Speaker 1>insurance companies can't charge premiums high enough to break even.

422
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's because that it is difficult to operate in

423
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that climate because there weren't fire facilities available. Because Karen Bass,

424
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 1>the mayor, was in Ghana again in Africa, that there

425
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>was no one in leadership positions, and I watched MSNBC

426
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.599
<v Speaker 1>this morning so you don't have to, and they pointed

427
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>out that several Republicans from the congressional delegation in California

428
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 1>were not present either. They were in Washington with Congress

429
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 1>going on. Well, it's not the job of a GOP

430
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 1>congressman in California to handle the fire problems in Los

431
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Angeles or San Francisco. It's the job of the mayor

432
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:47.599
<v Speaker 1>and the fire department. They're in charge of that. So

433
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.759
<v Speaker 1>to make the equivocation between Republicans in Washington and then

434
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 1>the mayor of Los Angeles and Ghana is indicative of

435
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.519
<v Speaker 1>what the media does. They twist and turned the coverage

436
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 1>to make Democrats look as fruitful as possible and make

437
00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Republicans look like gargoyles. That's what the media does. I

438
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.319
<v Speaker 1>would note that the New York Times I held up

439
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 1>this coltumn last night. Hold it up to the microphone

440
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 1>right now, New York Times. This must be right under

441
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:16.920
<v Speaker 1>date of January the twelfth, which would have been yesterday.

442
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 1>It put up at six fifty am headline. Before taking office,

443
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>LA's mayor said she would not go abroad. Mayor Karen

444
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Bass of LA has been criticized for being out of

445
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the country when the wildfires broke out three years ago.

446
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.359
<v Speaker 1>She promised an interview with The New York Times she

447
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.519
<v Speaker 1>would not travel if she was elected at the mayor

448
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of LA. The reason that came up is she was

449
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 1>number one on the list of congress persons traveling the most.

450
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 1>She used her position on the Foreign Relations Committee to

451
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:49.640
<v Speaker 1>travel all over the world, especially to Africa, to Europe,

452
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 1>South America. Every month she had a trip somewhere she

453
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:57.079
<v Speaker 1>left on taxpayer at taxpayer's expense, of course, And so

454
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the question arose in LA when she ran for office

455
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 1>three years ago, are you going to stay in Los Angeles?

456
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>She said absolutely. She says she would not travel abroad,

457
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:09.440
<v Speaker 1>which she's now done repeatedly once she took office, including

458
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>issuing a declaration of an emergency. Then she gets on

459
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a plane and flies from LA to Ghana, a country

460
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 1>in Africa that's got to be what seven eight thousand

461
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 1>miles away. So she wasn't present when the Santa Anita

462
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:27.279
<v Speaker 1>winds and sparks flew and all hell broke Loues and

463
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't note that that. And the legal immigrant from

464
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Mexico has been arrested for setting several fires there in

465
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles. He walked around with a blow torch he's homeless,

466
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 1>he's in Hispanic, he's from Mexico, and he's illegal, and

467
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>he's walking around streets with a blow torch in his hand.

468
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>There were several citizens and apprehended him before the cops arrived.

469
00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 1>He's been arrested. There's a great suspicion that individuals wishing

470
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.119
<v Speaker 1>our country hard have set these fires in four or

471
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.440
<v Speaker 1>five different locations. Easy to do when the city is overwhelmed.

472
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>When Karen Bass, the mayor, has cut the fire budget

473
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 1>by sixteen million dollars, When Gavin Newsom, the governor, the

474
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>poofy hair, fancy boy from Sacramento, has cut fire protections

475
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:24.039
<v Speaker 1>by over one hundred million dollars in the last two years.

476
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 1>They spend money on everything, but what they should spend

477
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>money on. I know there's a centiment that you and

478
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I might have, we might have this. Well, it's Los Angeles,

479
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.480
<v Speaker 1>it's California. And how can you feel sorry for people

480
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>who get what they deserve and get what they voted for.

481
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Californians vote for this, they vote for DEI, they vote

482
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>for funding homeless encampments, proliferating to the tune of seventy

483
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.319
<v Speaker 1>five thousand people, seventy five thousand. They vote for individuals

484
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.720
<v Speaker 1>who think abortion is a sacrament. They vote for individuals

485
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 1>who want to defund the police and defund there our department.

486
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>They vote for this. They vote for individuals who believe

487
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 1>DEI is not discrimination against a different race of people

488
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.319
<v Speaker 1>than the Democrats normally racially discriminate against. For more than

489
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 1>one hundred years, the Democratic Party brought in slaves, owned

490
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.599
<v Speaker 1>the slaves, beat the slaves, raped the slaves. Then the Democrats,

491
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:23.440
<v Speaker 1>against the whims and wishes, gave up slavery. But then

492
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.200
<v Speaker 1>they enacted Jim Crow laws all over the South. The

493
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrats did that. Lynching black men and black women and

494
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 1>raping black women all over the South was part of

495
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the efforts of the ku Klux Klan, who were all Democrats.

496
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And so when the discrimination stopped in the nineteen sixties

497
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and seventies largely, and now we have a lot of

498
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 1>mythical racism going on, it's the Democratic Party that wants

499
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.599
<v Speaker 1>to flip and stop discriminating against black folks and now

500
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>discriminate against white people. Deide diversity, equity and inclusion. Who's

501
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.720
<v Speaker 1>not included? A large race of people are not included.

502
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 1>And how's that diversity in equity. How's it diversity When

503
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a large group of people are banned because of the

504
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 1>color of their skin, that is not diversity. It's the

505
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 1>opposite of diversity. So for those who say, you know,

506
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.960
<v Speaker 1>they voted for these individuals, let them stew in their

507
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 1>own juices. I have empathy for that. I have empathy

508
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>for that idea. But sadly they get the government they deserve.

509
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And if you live in California and you find yourself

510
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly voting for people like Kamala Harris and Karen Bass

511
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 1>and Gavin Newsom, and then you vote again and again

512
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and again for individuals like Maxine Waters, you have the

513
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>government you deserve. And sadly that, sadly, the majority of

514
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:48.160
<v Speaker 1>people in California have been swept along too long by

515
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a decadent, garbage pale of lies of the Democratic Party

516
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.599
<v Speaker 1>of leftism and actions certainly have consequences. These are the

517
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 1>consequences not having enough water to put out fires, not

518
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 1>having the right competent people in charge. And I mentioned

519
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 1>this with Christopher Smitherman. Let's face it, there's much incompetence

520
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 1>in America today. Mayor of LaToya contrel I had a

521
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.880
<v Speaker 1>guest on from New Orleans about ten days ago when

522
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the terrorist attack took place. She's completely incompetent, but she

523
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.839
<v Speaker 1>was selected because of her race, because of her color.

524
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Then you have Kamala Harris. Joe Biden said, I'm going

525
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to pick a black woman to be the president vice president.

526
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 1>It was either going to be Kamala Harris or Karen Bass.

527
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Choose between those two. But then you also have circumstances

528
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like white males such as Jacob Frye, the mayor of Minneapolis,

529
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>basically let the mobs burn down police stations in a

530
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 1>thousand businesses in Minneapolis, and that guy's white. If people

531
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.799
<v Speaker 1>like Evin Newsom, the governor of California, who's complete fullet

532
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 1>and incompetent, who was recalled but the voters kept him

533
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:58.000
<v Speaker 1>in power, and he's white and male, you have people

534
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 1>like I know Mike Johnston, who's the mayor of Denver.

535
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:04.640
<v Speaker 1>He's a complete clown. He's white, and he's male, and

536
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 1>he's married. This guy's a leftist. The one thing they

537
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>all have in common, from LaToya Cantrell to Kamala Harris

538
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to Jacob Frye to Karen Bass, to Mike Johnston to

539
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Brendan Johnson to Gavin Newsom to have to have pirival

540
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.119
<v Speaker 1>and on all the rest. They all believe in liberal

541
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Democratic policies. Now we have to get out of this somehow.

542
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>We have to say that this isn't working. What major

543
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>American city is being run exceedingly well by liberal Democrats,

544
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.279
<v Speaker 1>That the school system is functional in fact kids attended,

545
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>and that kids graduate able to read and write at

546
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the twelfth grade level. What major American city doesn't have

547
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 1>a crime problem occasioned by it to fund the police

548
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 1>by the Democratic Party. Look at the lack of job creation,

549
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 1>the expenses of government, the increased taxes, the bureaucracy. Had

550
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a guest on last night this said, it takes five

551
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.400
<v Speaker 1>years to get a building permit to build a new home.

552
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>There's all these studies they have to be done. You

553
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>get into bureaucracy, it takes five years to do anything.

554
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Who wants to live in that environment. It's not about race,

555
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not about gender, it's not about sex, it's not

556
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:22.119
<v Speaker 1>about being gay. What's about is incompetence. We've had many

557
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.279
<v Speaker 1>individuals like Richard Grennell, who's a gay male who does

558
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.359
<v Speaker 1>a great job in foreign service. You have Colon Powell.

559
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.160
<v Speaker 1>You have Ben Carson, you have the recently departed Herman Kane.

560
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.759
<v Speaker 1>You have Jesse Lee Peterson, you have Christopher Smitherman, you

561
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>have Ken Blackwell. All kinds of persons of color are

562
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 1>competent mentally and can get the job done. But if

563
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 1>you live in an area like Los Angeles or the

564
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:50.319
<v Speaker 1>city of Cincinnati or Chicago or Columbus, to be elected,

565
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you must be a Democrat. You must adhere to a

566
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:55.559
<v Speaker 1>certain set of principles, and if you fail to do so,

567
00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:00.400
<v Speaker 1>guess what, you can't be elected. So some who say

568
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel sorry for Los Angeles, they get what they deserve.

569
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.319
<v Speaker 1>The great majority of people do not deserve this. And

570
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 1>in fact, the County of Los Angeles is the same

571
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.079
<v Speaker 1>number of people, and it basically as the state of Ohio.

572
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 1>That's the county of Los Angeles about ten to eleven million,

573
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and Los Angeles is poorly run. To give you another example, quickly,

574
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Florida has about a million more residents than the state

575
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 1>of New York. But the state budget in New York

576
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:34.799
<v Speaker 1>is one hundred percent greater than the state budget in Florida,

577
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.319
<v Speaker 1>and there's no income tax in Florida. There's no capital

578
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>gain capital gains tax in Florida. There's no estate tax

579
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:46.559
<v Speaker 1>in Florida. But Florida runs the state much more diverse

580
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:50.599
<v Speaker 1>than New York State at half the expense and delivers

581
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 1>more goods and services. Does anybody understand this? So how

582
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 1>can you keep doing the same thing anticipating a different

583
00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:03.839
<v Speaker 1>result work? So Karen Bess obviously was selected because of

584
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 1>her race and her sexual predilections. She wasn't selected for competency.

585
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.920
<v Speaker 1>She was selected because she fit a racial category. That

586
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 1>is race discrimination by itself practiced by the Democratic Party

587
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>for the last two hundred and fifty years. That's what

588
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Democrats do. So let's continue with more. Coming up next

589
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>is Jason Barrett. As you may know, there's the Bible

590
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:30.039
<v Speaker 1>of talk radio within the industry, it's called the Barrett

591
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Media and yours truly was selected as the best radio

592
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.119
<v Speaker 1>talk show hosts during mid days in America, and this

593
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 1>station was selected as the best talk radio station in America.

594
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 1>So I want to get Jason Barrett on to talk

595
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>about why that selection took place. But more importantly, I

596
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.720
<v Speaker 1>hate patting myself on the back. As you know, we

597
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have to find out what is happening in talk radio,

598
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.799
<v Speaker 1>What is not happening in talk radio, and what is

599
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:58.599
<v Speaker 1>the future of talk radio that is next? Keep hope

600
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 1>alive because all we have his hope. Bill Cunningham, the

601
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Great American with you every day you're home with the

602
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Bearcats and the Muskies. Use radio seven hundred WLW Bill Cunningham,

603
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the Great American. Of course, Jason Barrett of Barrett Media

604
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 1>is the official trade magazine of talk radio and also

605
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 1>sports talking so much more. And I said to Jason

606
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 1>off there, I think it's important to have a local

607
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.319
<v Speaker 1>radio talk show host doing the best they can under

608
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>many times difficult circumstances, but to have a national perspective

609
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.839
<v Speaker 1>it is also critically important because what it does is

610
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>give you the ideas of what is working or not

611
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 1>working in other parts of this great country of ours,

612
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.079
<v Speaker 1>so we can implement them or not implement them locally.

613
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 1>And also, Jason Barrett has written a great column the

614
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Three Real Concerns for the Radio industry, specifically talk radio,

615
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and Jason Barrett welcome, I think for the first time

616
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.759
<v Speaker 1>to the Bill Cunningham Show. Jason, how are you.

617
00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:59.400
<v Speaker 5>It's a pleasure to be here. Bill, thanks for the invite.

618
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Before we talk about the award which you've given me

619
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>in this great radio station of ours. I want to

620
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:08.159
<v Speaker 1>get into the broader issue about talk radio in general.

621
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you a little bit of history. In

622
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty three, when I began here, we were told

623
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:18.559
<v Speaker 1>for the first four years, don't talk about politics, don't

624
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.599
<v Speaker 1>talk about sex, don't talk about too many things that

625
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:26.320
<v Speaker 1>would cause an equal time request in Washington. In other words,

626
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:29.760
<v Speaker 1>stay away from controversy, don't talk about politics, don't talk

627
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 1>about religion, don't talk about sex. So what I did

628
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the first three or four years as an attorney was

629
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to ask the lawyer. I did talk about urology and

630
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the prostate. Your prostate, what you can do with it.

631
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I did car repair, I did turn interior design, how

632
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to make your house better. Then in nineteen eighty seven,

633
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>because o Ronald Reagan, everything changed, which was okay, now

634
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.239
<v Speaker 1>we can talk about politics of free flow. It's called

635
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 1>the First Amendment, which wasn't practiced a long time. Then

636
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 1>we went through the second ideation, which was the commandos

637
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.199
<v Speaker 1>of talk radio. And I can recall I was on

638
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:03.519
<v Speaker 1>a night at the time that Arada Rivera had a

639
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>talk show in Chicago, and he organized six or seven

640
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.559
<v Speaker 1>of the so called best talk radio host and I

641
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 1>was one of them in the nineteen nineties, and we

642
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.440
<v Speaker 1>talked about the commandos of the airwaves, to break through,

643
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to be almost like Penthouse or Playboy, to stretch the

644
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>margins of what can be done and can't be done.

645
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Then that continued until nine to eleven, and after twenty

646
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.119
<v Speaker 1>oh one, guess what happened. Now we got to get serious.

647
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.360
<v Speaker 1>We're under attack. We went through the third ideation and

648
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.159
<v Speaker 1>now we're in the fourth with digital and with podcasts

649
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and et cetera. So when you wrote the column, which

650
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.079
<v Speaker 1>is the three real concerns for the talk radio industry

651
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.000
<v Speaker 1>lay out to the American people, if for the millions

652
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and millions of listeners I have, but also for those

653
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:43.519
<v Speaker 1>of us in the business, what do you see from

654
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 1>AFAR as some of the big problems in talk radio?

655
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.679
<v Speaker 5>If any, Well, Bill, I think it starts with what

656
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.400
<v Speaker 5>you just touched on. Is first things First, you have

657
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:57.039
<v Speaker 5>to understand everything goes in cycles. There's going to be change.

658
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, you just touched on the three you've experienced

659
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.599
<v Speaker 5>that brought us to the current stage, and so change

660
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:07.480
<v Speaker 5>is inevitable. Obviously, when you look at the present state

661
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.360
<v Speaker 5>of the industry. We're in that time and age where

662
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:13.400
<v Speaker 5>it's becoming a digital revolution. It already is here, but

663
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.199
<v Speaker 5>it's only going to grow in further and importance in

664
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.679
<v Speaker 5>the future, especially as the dashboard inside of the vehicle

665
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:23.360
<v Speaker 5>changes and you know, the way you watch television changes.

666
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.280
<v Speaker 5>And so to me, the three key things that I

667
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.519
<v Speaker 5>see going on that I think are problematic for our

668
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 5>business are Number one, we don't market our product and

669
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:36.920
<v Speaker 5>our people at all. I mean, think about how many

670
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:41.440
<v Speaker 5>media outlets today thrive off of advertising, and we tell

671
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:45.559
<v Speaker 5>clients it's important to buy an ad to grow your business.

672
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.679
<v Speaker 5>By the way, don't ask us to do that. Yes,

673
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:51.280
<v Speaker 5>we're not going to do that. So to me, marketing

674
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:54.840
<v Speaker 5>your product is vital for our industry, and that's the

675
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:58.159
<v Speaker 5>only way, especially in this cluttered environment with you have

676
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.400
<v Speaker 5>millions of podcasts. Now, how do you know what to

677
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:03.960
<v Speaker 5>even find? It goes back to the old principle you

678
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.840
<v Speaker 5>need to market, right, So that's number one. The second

679
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.880
<v Speaker 5>part and this is, you know a challenge on anyone

680
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker 5>who runs a brand is finding new voices and emerging talent.

681
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:18.280
<v Speaker 5>The same way, you've got that opportunity in nineteen eighty

682
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:20.880
<v Speaker 5>three to start out yep and blaze a trail and

683
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:24.440
<v Speaker 5>become who you've become. But you know, we have stations

684
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:27.239
<v Speaker 5>that are twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

685
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:32.320
<v Speaker 5>We've got websites, podcasts, YouTube channels, and there are so

686
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 5>many outlets that don't even put new voices yeah on

687
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.679
<v Speaker 5>these And it goes back to like the people who

688
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:42.159
<v Speaker 5>run the stations, I feel for the programmer because they're challenged.

689
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.480
<v Speaker 5>They're told, hey, we don't have resources for that. And

690
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.599
<v Speaker 5>I look at that and I say, well, if you

691
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:50.320
<v Speaker 5>don't have resources to invest in your future, what do

692
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:54.360
<v Speaker 5>you expect your future to look like? Because eventually you're

693
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 5>going to decide one day, you know what, I've had

694
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.039
<v Speaker 5>a good run. It's time for someone else to take

695
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.159
<v Speaker 5>the baton. But who are given the baton two?

696
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:04.639
<v Speaker 1>If there's nobody coming? Correct? Correct?

697
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 5>So those two things, marketing and finding new talent are critical.

698
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.440
<v Speaker 5>But then I think the third part, and this is

699
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 5>something that the radio bosses hate to hear because not

700
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 5>every one of them are good at this is can

701
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:23.639
<v Speaker 5>you even identify what a hit is and what great

702
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 5>talent is? Like Bill, I listen to a lot of

703
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:31.199
<v Speaker 5>radio because I consult brands, I write stories. I've got

704
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:34.079
<v Speaker 5>a team of mine that work on coverage every day

705
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:38.159
<v Speaker 5>and look for the shows like yours that get recognized

706
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:40.480
<v Speaker 5>as the best in the business at what they do.

707
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 5>There are a lot of shows that are not in

708
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:47.760
<v Speaker 5>that category, and they occupy airtime and they're solid. They're fine.

709
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:50.119
<v Speaker 5>You know, if you want to just listen to something

710
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:54.599
<v Speaker 5>that's comfort food, that's fine. But the days of the impactful,

711
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 5>the Rush Limb Boss to Howard Sterns, the Mic and

712
00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:59.920
<v Speaker 5>the Mad Dogs, if you're in the sports world, those

713
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:03.719
<v Speaker 5>are appointment level shows. And today I think it's just

714
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:06.320
<v Speaker 5>become there's too much of this in the industry where

715
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.280
<v Speaker 5>people are looking at well, we just got to keep

716
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:12.639
<v Speaker 5>the brand intact. We just have to fill the time

717
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:16.480
<v Speaker 5>slot and reduce the expense rather than find the next

718
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:20.559
<v Speaker 5>blazing you know, radio hosts who's going to create create

719
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 5>impact for years to come. And so a lot of

720
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.920
<v Speaker 5>those future stars are building themselves into digital world.

721
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Now.

722
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.800
<v Speaker 5>You look across whether it's The Daily Wire, Charlie Kirk,

723
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Officer Tatum, there are a lot of new voices that

724
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:39.039
<v Speaker 5>are just building their brands digitally, and so I look

725
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:40.800
<v Speaker 5>at that and I go, well, if you want this

726
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:44.880
<v Speaker 5>industry to thrive in ten to twenty years, you've better

727
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:47.480
<v Speaker 5>be sinking money into the future voices that are going

728
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.400
<v Speaker 5>to carry it forward.

729
00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:50.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jason, what you brought up to. Third thing,

730
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the boss's id. Many of the bosses are shall we say,

731
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>sales talent that have risen at the top, and they're

732
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:00.199
<v Speaker 1>in charge of sales. And when I started n ten

733
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty three, I'm sure I was terrible the first couple

734
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>of years, but I was given time to develop. I

735
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 1>spent many years as a practicing attorney representing criminals. That's

736
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:12.039
<v Speaker 1>how I got to talk radio, representing three individuals charged

737
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 1>with murdering police officers, and they asked me, how can

738
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a nice young guy like you represent just despicable human beings.

739
00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I was given time to develop, and a year or

740
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.840
<v Speaker 1>two later I became pretty good. And when you have

741
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>talent identification being done by salesmen, that's not a good thing. Secondly,

742
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.679
<v Speaker 1>you talk about the new voices, there's no money being

743
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:35.440
<v Speaker 1>developed in the market product. I think we sell advertising,

744
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:39.599
<v Speaker 1>goods and services, et cetera, and we're quite successful in it,

745
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.679
<v Speaker 1>but we should promote ourselves in the same market in

746
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.559
<v Speaker 1>which we want our swimming pools and our cars and

747
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.440
<v Speaker 1>our insurance, financial consulting, et cetera. Want We want that

748
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to be part of it too, So we don't market,

749
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>we don't have new voices. When individuals like myself and

750
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Mike McConnell and so many people here, Rocky Boyman Eddie

751
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:02.360
<v Speaker 1>move on. Guess what, there's no one coming up. There's

752
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.599
<v Speaker 1>no minor league. We used to have minor leagues. You

753
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>might have three hundred talk radio stations in the Midwest.

754
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Now we probably have five or six. So the minor

755
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.039
<v Speaker 1>leagues develop new talent that doesn't exist, and we have

756
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to advertise our own product in our own market because

757
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.079
<v Speaker 1>it works. Secondly, we need new voices. And thirdly, we

758
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>need individuals, maybe like a Tony Bender, who can identify

759
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.039
<v Speaker 1>new talent that can be developed. And if we don't

760
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:28.039
<v Speaker 1>do those three things, we're in trouble, and I don't

761
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>think we can be. As long as the talent is there,

762
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the marketing is there, and we can identify new ways

763
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:36.239
<v Speaker 1>of getting the spoken word out, whether it's a podcast

764
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.719
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, it's a spoken word. And as long as

765
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>human beings have existed, going back fifty thousand years, there's

766
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.039
<v Speaker 1>always been a spoken word. Whether it's whether it's in

767
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>a cave or it's in a tunnel, it's in a hole,

768
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.559
<v Speaker 1>it's in a tree, We've always spoke to each other

769
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.000
<v Speaker 1>about what's coming. And that's the rule of talk. Ready

770
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:55.079
<v Speaker 1>to be coaching, to be interesting, to be provocative. And

771
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:57.280
<v Speaker 1>if we don't do that, this industry is in trouble

772
00:41:58.679 --> 00:41:59.199
<v Speaker 1>well together.

773
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.519
<v Speaker 5>Always chalk it up to this bill. I've always run

774
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:05.320
<v Speaker 5>by the adage of people like to hear people talk

775
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:09.000
<v Speaker 5>with and about other people, and so you need interesting

776
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:12.079
<v Speaker 5>people who can do that right, who can form a

777
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:16.039
<v Speaker 5>connection with a listener, who could interview interesting people who have,

778
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:20.199
<v Speaker 5>you know, unique perspectives on the world in front of us.

779
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.800
<v Speaker 5>And so, you know, in the in the years past,

780
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:25.800
<v Speaker 5>we would look out to, as you noted, you know,

781
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.960
<v Speaker 5>the smaller markets. Go find this guy in the middle

782
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.039
<v Speaker 5>of the country, in a small city, bring him into

783
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.880
<v Speaker 5>a larger market. He'll be thrilled to finally get a

784
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker 5>bigger stage to perform on. Today, people just build their

785
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.920
<v Speaker 5>own identities with podcasts and YouTube and they can make

786
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:43.519
<v Speaker 5>enough money doing that that they don't need to go

787
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:47.480
<v Speaker 5>to Middle America and relocate and so in the past

788
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:50.840
<v Speaker 5>it'd be like, well, wouldn't you be privileged to work

789
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.679
<v Speaker 5>at our radio station and look at this great opportunity.

790
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.280
<v Speaker 5>And today they go, wait, you want to pay me

791
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.280
<v Speaker 5>what I already make independently. I don't leave my house,

792
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:02.000
<v Speaker 5>I create my own content. I don't have a boss.

793
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:04.400
<v Speaker 5>So unless you're going to change my life from a

794
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.840
<v Speaker 5>financial standpoint, that makes so much sense to get rid

795
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:11.159
<v Speaker 5>of this. Why do that? And so if you do

796
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:14.159
<v Speaker 5>have people who are young who are coming into your

797
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 5>place of business, you should want to get them around

798
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.679
<v Speaker 5>as much as possible and show them what they can

799
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.159
<v Speaker 5>create here, because look, you got in the business just

800
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:26.920
<v Speaker 5>as I did, and you probably the minute you started

801
00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 5>doing was like, Wow, this.

802
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Is really cool. I love what I do.

803
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:34.199
<v Speaker 5>And that's our superpower as an industry is when you

804
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:37.679
<v Speaker 5>bring people into the fold with a brand like an LW,

805
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 5>they go, wow, look at the bigness of this radio station.

806
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:44.800
<v Speaker 5>I could be part of this. But you can't do

807
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:47.280
<v Speaker 5>that if you don't bring them into the fold and

808
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:50.199
<v Speaker 5>give them a shot. And the first part you touched on,

809
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:54.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, listen, it's okay if some people in management

810
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:56.480
<v Speaker 5>come from a sale side. I do think you need

811
00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:59.039
<v Speaker 5>to understand how to make money as well as grow

812
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:03.760
<v Speaker 5>an audience. But what I've found happening a lot, especially

813
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:07.039
<v Speaker 5>the last decade since I started consulting and building my brand,

814
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:11.360
<v Speaker 5>is that there's become too much reliance on the sales

815
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:14.199
<v Speaker 5>side and not enough on programming. And I've made this

816
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:17.639
<v Speaker 5>comment a number of times to client, says, if the

817
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:21.960
<v Speaker 5>radio industry controlled film, we would tell Steven Spielberg how

818
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:25.039
<v Speaker 5>to write movies. And you can't do that. You've got

819
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:28.920
<v Speaker 5>to let Stephen Spielberg pick the actors, pick the setting

820
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:31.519
<v Speaker 5>that he shoots in, because that guy knows how to

821
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.360
<v Speaker 5>create a hit movie that makes money. And so we

822
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:39.119
<v Speaker 5>just need more Steven Spielberg's in the industry and salespeople

823
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:42.039
<v Speaker 5>who are smart enough to say, listen, if he's really

824
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:45.639
<v Speaker 5>good at identifying talent and creating hit content, he's going

825
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.800
<v Speaker 5>to help me make a lot of money, right, you know.

826
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:50.960
<v Speaker 5>And so to me it just goes you know, these

827
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:55.280
<v Speaker 5>are not revolutionary ideas. It's just that I think sometimes

828
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:57.280
<v Speaker 5>we take our eye off the ball and get so

829
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:01.559
<v Speaker 5>focused on this week, this day, this month, that we're

830
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:04.599
<v Speaker 5>not thinking about two years, three years in the same

831
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:08.280
<v Speaker 5>way you were given time to develop. Great talent, take

832
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:11.119
<v Speaker 5>time to develop. You know, it takes you two years

833
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:14.679
<v Speaker 5>to connect with an audience and really start to become

834
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:17.400
<v Speaker 5>a you know, a trusted friend on the air. And

835
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:19.880
<v Speaker 5>so if anything, I just think we've got to get

836
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:23.039
<v Speaker 5>back to our roots and really understand that. Like unlike

837
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:25.719
<v Speaker 5>the year's past where you were compared to other radio

838
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:28.599
<v Speaker 5>the future is going to be do you do audio

839
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 5>better than television? Do you do audio better than print?

840
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Bill?

841
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Go look at the New York Times on YouTube. They

842
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:38.000
<v Speaker 5>do better video and have more of a following than

843
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:41.639
<v Speaker 5>TV stations, yet people would call them a newspaper. So

844
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:44.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, when you get into the world of competing

845
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:50.000
<v Speaker 5>with Spotify, Apple, Amazon and every other news operation from

846
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:53.360
<v Speaker 5>television to print, and they're doing audio as well as you, well,

847
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:56.400
<v Speaker 5>then what makes you unique and important in a decade

848
00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:59.000
<v Speaker 5>You've got to continue to invest in your product and

849
00:45:59.079 --> 00:45:59.519
<v Speaker 5>your people.

850
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Someone, starting here in the beginning, I would say to

851
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:06.880
<v Speaker 1>number one, be an interesting person, Be well read, know

852
00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:08.920
<v Speaker 1>how the world operates, Be a little bit of a

853
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.079
<v Speaker 1>a storian, a little bit of political scientists, be a

854
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:13.239
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a geologist, be a little bit of

855
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.000
<v Speaker 1>an urban planner. In other words, have some experiences in life.

856
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:18.599
<v Speaker 1>Number two, you have to you have to build your brand.

857
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:20.800
<v Speaker 1>And by that I mean we had a living legend

858
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.559
<v Speaker 1>here named Jim Scott who would have business cards printed up.

859
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:25.519
<v Speaker 1>When you got off the air at nine or ten

860
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.280
<v Speaker 1>o'clock in the morning. He would walk around restaurants at

861
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.440
<v Speaker 1>lunch time, hand out his cards, meet people like he

862
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.679
<v Speaker 1>was running for office, and he would say, Okay, listen

863
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to me tomorrow morning. What's your name again, I'll mention it.

864
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:38.159
<v Speaker 1>And what I did in the beginning was take every

865
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:41.440
<v Speaker 1>speaking arrangement that I could get. Every engagement that got

866
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.239
<v Speaker 1>a hold of me, if they wanted a pep rally,

867
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.559
<v Speaker 1>someone to cheer them up for a football or basketball game,

868
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:48.280
<v Speaker 1>or speak to some other group, I was always available

869
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:50.400
<v Speaker 1>to go speak to build my brand. And then when

870
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:52.760
<v Speaker 1>events took place in Cincinnati, whether it's the reds of

871
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals, or a flood or a political upheaval or

872
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.800
<v Speaker 1>some other disaster, those individuals knew kind of they kind

873
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.159
<v Speaker 1>of know Bill Cunningham, the kind of my nickname is Willy,

874
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Get a hold of Willy, and then I would call them.

875
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:06.159
<v Speaker 1>In the beginning, I would have high school coaches on

876
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the air with me in order to talk about their

877
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:11.199
<v Speaker 1>big game the next night, Friday night, and then they

878
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:13.559
<v Speaker 1>would invite me to the pep rally and I would

879
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:15.000
<v Speaker 1>cheer them up and get them to win the game

880
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:16.920
<v Speaker 1>or lose the game. Now what I do is invite

881
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:18.920
<v Speaker 1>in the state champions So if you want a state

882
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.840
<v Speaker 1>championship boys or girls basketball, football, hockey, whatever it might be, soccer,

883
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll bring in the coach along with three or four

884
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:28.519
<v Speaker 1>star players. Now what would happen is the entire school

885
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.119
<v Speaker 1>would be listening. They wanted to know why Muller High

886
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:34.519
<v Speaker 1>School won the state basketball toler or why Beachwood High

887
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:36.920
<v Speaker 1>School and Northern Kentucky did well. And I had the

888
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:39.119
<v Speaker 1>coach on and then I build the brand, and then

889
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I try to be interesting. I try to be well read.

890
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I try to be a good interviewer. I try to

891
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.320
<v Speaker 1>connect with the community and touch everyone within one hundred

892
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:49.519
<v Speaker 1>miles of Cincinnati. And after forty one years, I've been

893
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:52.280
<v Speaker 1>somewhat successful at doing that because I worked at it.

894
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>You just can't show up in the morning and say, Okay,

895
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:56.760
<v Speaker 1>what have we got today? The night before I'm thinking

896
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:58.760
<v Speaker 1>about today, what am I going to do that this

897
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.360
<v Speaker 1>afternoon on Monday. Oh, I got what's the angle? Go online,

898
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:05.400
<v Speaker 1>find out what's going on. I read the Inquirer. Print

899
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:08.119
<v Speaker 1>media is largely collapsed, it doesn't exist much anymore, but

900
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:12.039
<v Speaker 1>there's something there. Local television does a okay job reporting

901
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:14.159
<v Speaker 1>the news. I go there, I look at other sources.

902
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Then I connect with people to inform my audience and

903
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to entertain them, and never forget the entertainment aspect. Many

904
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.760
<v Speaker 1>times I'd listen to Rush Limbaugh and laugh, and you've

905
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.320
<v Speaker 1>got to be informative, and you've got to be entertaining.

906
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:27.519
<v Speaker 1>You've got to be connected to the community. They have

907
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.039
<v Speaker 1>to know who you are. When something happens, they want

908
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to turn and see what Willy has to say about it.

909
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Jason Barrett of Barrett Media, you know what I'm saying.

910
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, listen, Bill, what you just touched on is the

911
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:41.159
<v Speaker 5>importance of the marketing aspect of what we've touched on,

912
00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:44.719
<v Speaker 5>in addition to the content. Right to me, it always

913
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.760
<v Speaker 5>comes back to you've got to have great content when

914
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.440
<v Speaker 5>you step into that studio from the microphone on right, Yes,

915
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:55.239
<v Speaker 5>but you also have to build relationships with your guests,

916
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:59.159
<v Speaker 5>with your advertisers, with your audience. And so you're in

917
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:04.119
<v Speaker 5>the Bill cunning And business. WLW survives and thrives based

918
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.840
<v Speaker 5>on the fact that you are a really good content

919
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:09.880
<v Speaker 5>creator who knows how to connect with people. And so

920
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:12.239
<v Speaker 5>the more people that come to your party every day,

921
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.199
<v Speaker 5>the better it is for wlw's business, the better it

922
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:18.159
<v Speaker 5>is for the Bill Cunningham business. And so what you're

923
00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:21.159
<v Speaker 5>touching on is something that every host in America should

924
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:23.920
<v Speaker 5>be doing. They should be marketing themselves. I don't you know,

925
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:26.679
<v Speaker 5>today we have the advantage that we didn't when we

926
00:49:26.679 --> 00:49:29.000
<v Speaker 5>were coming up in the industry, where we didn't have

927
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.440
<v Speaker 5>social platforms, we didn't have video the way we did today.

928
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:33.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I was thrilled that I didn't have to

929
00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:36.840
<v Speaker 5>cut real to real tape when I started, right, So,

930
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:41.519
<v Speaker 5>so things have definitely changed. There's more opportunity than ever

931
00:49:41.599 --> 00:49:45.400
<v Speaker 5>to market. You know, it still goes back to shaking hands,

932
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:48.440
<v Speaker 5>building friends. You know, the same way you talked about

933
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:51.360
<v Speaker 5>connecting with the high school coaches is the same thing

934
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:53.960
<v Speaker 5>you have to do when you're working with an advertiser

935
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:56.400
<v Speaker 5>to make sure that they support the station and your

936
00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:59.760
<v Speaker 5>show going forward. And so all of these things are

937
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:05.239
<v Speaker 5>easily doable if people prioritize their business and care about it.

938
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.559
<v Speaker 5>And it can't just be the talent, though, Bill, because

939
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:10.280
<v Speaker 5>you're going to do your part to try to make

940
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:13.559
<v Speaker 5>sure your show performs. But the radio station has to

941
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:16.280
<v Speaker 5>do their show their part two. And I'm not just

942
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:19.840
<v Speaker 5>saying WLW. Every radio station has to do their part

943
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:22.679
<v Speaker 5>to let their local market know, hey, we have a

944
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:24.920
<v Speaker 5>great product, Hey we have great talent, and this is

945
00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:26.920
<v Speaker 5>a place you should spend your time because if you

946
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:31.199
<v Speaker 5>do that, eventually people spend time and that becomes important

947
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:32.840
<v Speaker 5>and appealing to a lot of people who want to

948
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:33.519
<v Speaker 5>spend money.

949
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.039
<v Speaker 1>With great conversation. And once again, I want to thank you,

950
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.119
<v Speaker 1>but I guess I was selected as the best talk

951
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:41.239
<v Speaker 1>show host in America Middays, and I'm very thankful of

952
00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:43.679
<v Speaker 1>that you picked this radio station, or shall we say

953
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:46.440
<v Speaker 1>those in the industry pick this radio station as the

954
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:51.079
<v Speaker 1>best talk radio station in America. And Jason Barrett, Barrett Media,

955

956

00:50:57.880 --> 00:50:59.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'm glad that you and I are both out there.

958
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.639
<v Speaker 1>But like Tony Bender, and programming that can identify talent

959
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and help us out and maybe we'll do it again

960
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.079
<v Speaker 1>and about a year to see where talk radio is

961
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.760
<v Speaker 1>at that point. But Jason Barrett, thank you and for

962
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:11.719
<v Speaker 1>what you've done for the industry, and thank you for

963
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.199
<v Speaker 1>that designation of yours truly in this station. And Jason,

983
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:44.440
<v Speaker 8>bit like Dan Horden a little bit like maybe, uh,

984
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:48.000
<v Speaker 8>what about Paul Keels. He's still doing Ohio State football?

985
00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes he is. I'm watching the game. Of course, first

986
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.639
<v Speaker 1>down on the one, Zach Taylor play was called, which

987
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:57.119
<v Speaker 1>is second and two. He throws it out to the

988
00:52:57.199 --> 00:53:00.480
<v Speaker 1>left six yard loss. Zach Taylor would have called that play.

989
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct? Probably?

990
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:05.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, But it's first down on the one and you well,

991
00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:07.360
<v Speaker 8>you can't get through the why don't you go the

992
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:08.039
<v Speaker 8>one way?

993
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And then sweeping a white He had a wide open

994
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:14.199
<v Speaker 1>area cut of the hill. I would have said four times,

995
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.440
<v Speaker 1>quarterback sneak. But you're not going to give it to

996
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:18.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody and get No, you're not going to get the

997
00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:21.920
<v Speaker 1>push push either. Against Ohio State, they're nine and a

998
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:26.400
<v Speaker 1>half point favorites against Rocky Boyman's bunch a week from

999
00:53:26.440 --> 00:53:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to night. What does Rocky say about that one? I

1000
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:30.159
<v Speaker 1>don't know. We'll wait and see if they come in

1001

1002
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:34.320
<v Speaker 1>guts to come in? He's got the guts. If not,

1003
00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:38.039
<v Speaker 1>I think I State should hammer. Oh no, we'll see. Well,

1004
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.360
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half's a lot of points, for sure.

1170
01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Always now segment on this weekend? Things are going to

1171
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>get better. I'm told by the city plow manager. You

1172
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>know there's plows out there plowing that these these speed

1173
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>bumps all over Cincinnati have made it damn near impossible

1174
01:02:47.920 --> 01:02:52.519
<v Speaker 1>to clear roads because the the plows keep getting stuck

1175
01:02:52.559 --> 01:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>on the speed bumps. They don't enforce traffic laws anymore

1176
01:02:55.639 --> 01:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>in the city because it's politically incorrect it so they

1177
01:02:58.719 --> 01:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>put down.

1178
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:02.840
<v Speaker 8>Look at the look at your latest red light. When

1179
01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:07.559
<v Speaker 8>you go there, I always wait five seconds turns greenand

1180
01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:11.199
<v Speaker 8>make sure exactly because the mayornism doesn't want traffic laws

1181
01:03:11.239 --> 01:03:11.559
<v Speaker 8>in force.

1182
01:03:11.639 --> 01:03:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, anybody then one homeless law town doesn't

1183
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>either done one of my force.

1184
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>No.

1185
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:19.679
<v Speaker 1>So therefore the obstacles the bumps, and shall always say

1186
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:23.039
<v Speaker 1>in the road the speed bumps catch on the front

1187
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and they break it, and so the stupidity of city

1188
01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>government stops unbridled. So I don't know what to tell you. Well,

1189
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:34.679
<v Speaker 1>probably some streets are probably have never been touched since

1190
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.079
<v Speaker 1>in a week. Is anyone out of Mount Adams yet?

1191
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Is that functional? Can you get out unless you got skis?

1192
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Can't get out? And on the side, you know, it's

1193
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>a law that you have to clear out your sidewalk

1194
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:48.239
<v Speaker 1>of snow. Are you aware of that? I have no,

1195
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:50.679
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that. Really, I'm gonna send it in

1196
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>every in every little at every town around here, or

1197
01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati, the city of Cincinnati, not in the state

1198
01:03:56.840 --> 01:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of Ohio. Wowbody as a law that says you have

1199
01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to clear your sidewalk, try to walk on. I went

1200
01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to zips Hamburgers the other day. Okay? How good is

1201
01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:09.159
<v Speaker 1>zips the best? Okay? And you could not walk on

1202
01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the streets going to and fro Mount Lookout Square because

1203
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>no one is cleaned off their own sidewalks. It's a law.

1204
01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>You can be cited for that segment. I don't want

1205
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you to get them out there and do it. Get

1206
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>them out there and do it. But the city is

1207
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:27.239
<v Speaker 1>so run incompetently that it doesn't do the basic things

1208
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>like clear the streets and quit putting speed bumps in

1209
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the mattle in the middle of Madison Road, which, by

1210
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the way, that when the snow plow comes through, guess what, kaboom,

1211
01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it's thousands of dollars worth of damage. You don't know

1212
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>where it is right well? You ah, So you think

1213
01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>you think your things are easy in middle Tucky, they're not. Okay, segment,

1214
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Get me out of the stood's report, please, Willy and

1215
01:04:47.760 --> 01:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>utter of a beautiful day here in the tri State,

1216
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and watch out, those temperatures are fallen. We leave you

1217
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>with the immortal words of the Stood Report. Build that wall,

1218
01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Build that whall. How about several illegal aliens in law

1219
01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>La have been arrested with blow torches in their hands

1220
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>setting fires, and two of them are legal immigrants from

1221
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>Mexico and they're setting fires using a blow torch? Can

1222
01:05:22.119 --> 01:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>you explain this to me? Plus, terrorism reigns supreme, and

1223
01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that those poor folks are They're wiped out,

1224
01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:32.559
<v Speaker 1>wiped out. It's gonna take years to come back from that.

1225
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>According to one insurance expert I watched on TV, seventy

1226
01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>percent don't have fire insurance because it's too expensive. One

1227
01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:42.519
<v Speaker 1>woman said in a somewhat modest home, who was two

1228
01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:44.519
<v Speaker 1>and a half million dollars, looked like your house cap.

1229
01:05:44.599 --> 01:05:48.519
<v Speaker 1>God said that it cost me twelve hundred dollars four

1230
01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>years ago for fire. Twelve hundred bucks. Yeah, now it's

1231
01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty two thousand a year, And she said, now it's

1232
01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna And no, I didn't do it. Now I wish

1233
01:05:57.119 --> 01:05:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I had. Would you spend twenty two thousand dollars a year?

1234
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Live it out there? Yeah? Probably so if you can,

1235
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:03.639
<v Speaker 1>you have to pay it. But what if you can't

1236
01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>afford it, Well, then I guess you go to a bank.

1237
01:06:07.800 --> 01:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>As you go to a bank borrow the money, you

1238
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>borrow money to have an insurance premium. With the fires

1239
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:17.199
<v Speaker 1>out there, heck yeah, okay, that's it's incredible out there.

1240
01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>It's unbelievable. They've lost fifteen thousand homes. Strecific Palisades is gone.

1241
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:28.519
<v Speaker 1>How about nine public schools have been burned to the ground,

1242
01:06:28.679 --> 01:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>nine public schools, stopping centers, strip malls, playgrounds, banks, restaurants gone.

1243
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Not just like flooded. We got to get right, got

1244
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to get there. No structure gone nothing, no electricity, no power.

1245
01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>You got looting out there? What are they looting? Mass

1246
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:47.519
<v Speaker 1>wisted metal? Or they go through it and see if

1247
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody is as safe and they kind of get it open.

1248
01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Most people have a safe or something, and most of

1249
01:06:52.559 --> 01:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>those arrested, the looters and legal immigrants. That's what I figured.

1250
01:06:57.079 --> 01:07:02.360
<v Speaker 8>Look at that segment obliterating and then the smoke. But

1251
01:07:02.679 --> 01:07:04.639
<v Speaker 8>the smoke from all this, how's that going to affect

1252
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:06.199
<v Speaker 8>people years down the road?

1253
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>You want to talk about iron fighters, You want to

1254
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>hear about irony Allegedly, Gavin Newsom, who's a clown, is

1255
01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:15.199
<v Speaker 1>concerned about the environment. His policies have done what to

1256
01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:19.159
<v Speaker 1>the environment? Obliterated it? Right, So those who seek to

1257
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:22.559
<v Speaker 1>use laws to change the environment for the better and

1258
01:07:22.679 --> 01:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>act laws that destroy the environment.

1259
01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:29.280
<v Speaker 8>Then there's a bunch of dopes out there running the drones,

1260
01:07:29.760 --> 01:07:32.440
<v Speaker 8>I guess for their own enjoyment or something hitting the planes.

1261
01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:36.039
<v Speaker 8>What happens if one of those planes go down death?

1262
01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:39.079
<v Speaker 8>I mean, come on, man, look at that right there.

1263
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:44.840
<v Speaker 8>Critical threat through Wednesday. Unbelievable. I'm glad I live in

1264
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:47.199
<v Speaker 8>With all the problems we have here, I want to

1265
01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:47.840
<v Speaker 8>stay right here.

1266
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Amen to that. Let's continue Bill Cunningham the segment number

1267
01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>one in the country right here on news radio seven

1268
01:07:55.039 --> 01:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred w L Do you know I would look to

1269
01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:08.599
<v Speaker 1>my left, Fox News and sing and are both reporting

1270
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that hamas expected to release thirty three hostages in first

1271
01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>phase of emerging cease file ceasefire deal. I'm not sure

1272
01:08:17.920 --> 01:08:20.119
<v Speaker 1>the timing of that release. Allegedly, it's going to be

1273
01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>very very soon. Much like when Jimmy Carter was leaving

1274
01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the president, seeing Ronald Reagan was taken over, the first

1275
01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>thing Iran did was try to curry favor with the

1276
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:34.680
<v Speaker 1>incoming president, Ronald Reagan by releasing hostages. It's happening again.

1277
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:37.199
<v Speaker 1>As far as weather's today, tomorrow, the next day, we're

1278
01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:40.239
<v Speaker 1>not sure, but AMAS has agreed to release thirty three

1279
01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>hostages in first phase of emerging cease fire deal. More

1280
01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to come. Allegedly there's about one hundred and two, but

1281
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:50.399
<v Speaker 1>there's been some reporting that more than half have died

1282
01:08:50.520 --> 01:08:53.359
<v Speaker 1>or were killed in custody by Hamas, which is a

1283
01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>religious organization acting under the auspices of the religious leaders

1284
01:08:57.439 --> 01:09:01.119
<v Speaker 1>of Iran, killing innocent men, women, and children. So we'll

1285
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>see what happens at that moment. Plus, as I speak,

1286
01:09:04.119 --> 01:09:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is delivering his foreign policy legacy addressed to

1287
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:11.159
<v Speaker 1>the Department of State. He's telling everyone in the Department

1288
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:13.199
<v Speaker 1>of State what a great job he did as the

1289
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>commander in chief slash architect of the foreign policy. We have,

1290
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>in effect now handing over to Donald Trump a literal

1291
01:09:21.239 --> 01:09:26.279
<v Speaker 1>dumpster fire. The fires are everywhere, and right now as

1292
01:09:26.319 --> 01:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I look, strong winds threatened to undo the progress his

1293
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:33.119
<v Speaker 1>crew's battle La blazes all over Hell's half Acre, and

1294
01:09:33.520 --> 01:09:36.119
<v Speaker 1>it is thought that it's going to be a year's

1295
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>if not a decade or more before the area resolves

1296
01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>itself and it can recover, but maybe longer than that

1297
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>because of the insurance crisis. There's a little bit of

1298
01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>an insurance bump here in the Tri State, which is

1299
01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>why I deal with Alvin Rohrer. Put the roar back

1300
01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in your insurance, because he will do his best to

1301
01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>hold down pricing and do a market you around the

1302
01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:57.479
<v Speaker 1>world to get you the best deal imaginable on your insurance.

1303
01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:01.119
<v Speaker 1>But that's a different story. If you're in Florida, especially California,

1304
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the insurance businesses are dumping out. One report had seventy

1305
01:10:05.880 --> 01:10:09.560
<v Speaker 1>percent of the structures destroyed were not covered for fire

1306
01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>calamities because the last few years it's been hard to

1307
01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:16.399
<v Speaker 1>do business in the state of California, if not impossible,

1308
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and no matter how big the insurance company is, they

1309
01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>cannot continue to do business losing every money with every

1310
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:26.680
<v Speaker 1>policy they write. Doesn't work that way. So, as Joe

1311
01:10:27.119 --> 01:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Biden this afternoon now begins to celebrate his policy successes,

1312
01:10:33.159 --> 01:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>especially foreign policy, I thought it might be wise to

1313
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of review where we were four years ago. As

1314
01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:43.039
<v Speaker 1>you know that the Donald Trump Trump forty five left

1315
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>office and he gave to Biden. A very strong economy

1316
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:49.479
<v Speaker 1>in the United States was in great shape energy wise.

1317
01:10:49.760 --> 01:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>In fact, you've noticed that the pump right now prices

1318
01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:55.079
<v Speaker 1>are going down because of the Trump effect. There was

1319
01:10:55.119 --> 01:10:58.079
<v Speaker 1>also a secure border, and there was large parts of

1320
01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the southern border left to the side to be put

1321
01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>up over the next six months. One of the first

1322
01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>things Joe Biden did was take that order and tear

1323
01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it up and put in new orders to do not

1324
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>put up any more offenses, keep the fences down. Then

1325
01:11:13.000 --> 01:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>also recently issued an order to sell it which was

1326
01:11:17.159 --> 01:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>lying fallow in the ground. But at this point that's

1327
01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:25.119
<v Speaker 1>been reversed. So when Trump left office in January of

1328
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, the country was strong. We had American

1329
01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:33.239
<v Speaker 1>energy independence who were selling energy all over the world.

1330
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>We had a relatively secure border, and more to follow,

1331
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>had a robust military, peace was abroad, and economic prosperity

1332
01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:45.439
<v Speaker 1>at home. You might recall that there were no American

1333
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>soldiers the last eighteen months killed in Afghanistan, and it

1334
01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:52.439
<v Speaker 1>was because Trump spoke directly to the leadership of the

1335
01:11:52.479 --> 01:11:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Taliban and told the Taliban where they were during the

1336
01:11:55.159 --> 01:11:58.439
<v Speaker 1>telephone call and said if one more American soldier is killed,

1337
01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming after you and your family. The Taliban wanted

1338
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:04.239
<v Speaker 1>to live, so they stopped killing American soldiers. There was

1339
01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:08.960
<v Speaker 1>prosperity at home and prosperity abroad. In addition to that,

1340
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:12.279
<v Speaker 1>you may recall that the unemployment rate was as low

1341
01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:15.039
<v Speaker 1>as it had been in forty years. That inflation was

1342
01:12:15.399 --> 01:12:17.680
<v Speaker 1>non existent. It was like one and a half two percent.

1343
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>That more heage interest rates were below three percent, sometimes

1344
01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:26.560
<v Speaker 1>two and a half percent. Inflation was very low. The

1345
01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>country was quickly recovering from the depths of the COVID pandemic.

1346
01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:34.279
<v Speaker 1>In January of twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden took office,

1347
01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>all he had to do was maintain the status quo

1348
01:12:38.399 --> 01:12:41.079
<v Speaker 1>and make it better. Often say, take the best and

1349
01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:43.439
<v Speaker 1>make it better and find a way to stay together.

1350
01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:46.239
<v Speaker 1>That's all he had to do. But Joe Biden, being

1351
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:50.279
<v Speaker 1>a left wing liberal Democrat, completely in the hands of

1352
01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:53.439
<v Speaker 1>people like George Soros, said, We're not doing that stuff anymore.

1353
01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to secure border, I don't want American prosperity.

1354
01:12:56.960 --> 01:13:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want a strong, proud military not at war.

1355
01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:03.359
<v Speaker 1>What I want is the democratic way of doing thing.

1356
01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Which is chaos everywhere. He could have continued the successful

1357
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden policies, he decided to engage in reckless federal deficit spending,

1358
01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>increasing the debt in four years by eight point six

1359
01:13:17.399 --> 01:13:21.640
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars to thirty six point five trillion dollars. The

1360
01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:26.199
<v Speaker 1>biggest spender proportionally in American history bar none, and to

1361
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:28.239
<v Speaker 1>do that he had to borrow a whole bunch of money.

1362
01:13:28.279 --> 01:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>When he started borrowing the money on the ten year

1363
01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:34.039
<v Speaker 1>note in order to finance all the Democratic Party giveaways.

1364
01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:37.479
<v Speaker 1>What happened to interest rates were they won up when

1365
01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>there was less money available and more desire. Forth, the

1366
01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:44.159
<v Speaker 1>price went up. He's the biggest spender in American history,

1367
01:13:45.319 --> 01:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>and this massive spending led to rapidly increasing inflation in

1368
01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the federal reserves. Decision to start raising interest rates, we

1369
01:13:52.279 --> 01:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>got to raise rates. Consequently, mortgage rates of skyrocketed, leading

1370
01:13:57.800 --> 01:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to a crisis in the real estate industry and keeping

1371
01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>millions of Americans from realizing the dream of home ownership.

1372
01:14:04.359 --> 01:14:07.399
<v Speaker 1>This was a specific policy of Joe Biden, and in

1373
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the insurance businesses. One can only imagine when, if at all,

1374
01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>California will ever recover from this, because most of the

1375
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:18.039
<v Speaker 1>homes are not insured, and most of the wealth family

1376
01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:21.159
<v Speaker 1>has is in their private home. It's gone. In fact,

1377
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>not just their house is gone, but all their memories,

1378
01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>everything in their home is pulverized. It's incredible. And as

1379
01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>inflation soared at home up to nine percent under Joe Biden.

1380
01:14:32.760 --> 01:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>By the way, when he took office, it was one

1381
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>point eight percent. His policies after a year and a

1382
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:41.279
<v Speaker 1>half got up to nine percent. And the current household

1383
01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:45.159
<v Speaker 1>debt for Americans increased by one hundred and forty seven

1384
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:48.159
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars in the third quarter. Listen to that. The

1385
01:14:48.359 --> 01:14:54.279
<v Speaker 1>household debt for Americans increased by one hundred and forty

1386
01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>seven billion in the third quarter through a staggering seventeen

1387
01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>point nine trillion dollars in American household debt, which includes

1388
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>about one point one seven trillion in credit card balances,

1389
01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:13.319
<v Speaker 1>so Americans were forced to charge more to pay their bills. Additionally,

1390
01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Americans were unable to save money in their savings account,

1391
01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:19.119
<v Speaker 1>which would have had the impact of doing what bring

1392
01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:23.399
<v Speaker 1>down the interest rates. And during his presidency, Joe Biden

1393
01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:27.279
<v Speaker 1>credit a catastrophe at home and abroad. Now American people

1394
01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>view him extremely unfavorably. Right now, he's going to leave

1395
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:35.439
<v Speaker 1>office as the most unpopular, the worst president in modern

1396
01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:39.119
<v Speaker 1>American history. He's beating Jimmy Carter at this point. It's

1397
01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:43.439
<v Speaker 1>a lousy record, it's pitiful. It'd be logical for Biden

1398
01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to assume to end his pathetic presidency on a high note. Unfortunately,

1399
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.319
<v Speaker 1>he's going in the opposite direction. Just in the last

1400
01:15:51.359 --> 01:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of months, he took two hundred and fifty million

1401
01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>acres off the shores of America out of available oil

1402
01:15:57.720 --> 01:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and gas reserves. He also is announced two more national

1403
01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>monuments in California, preventing federal drilling on about forty thousand

1404
01:16:06.680 --> 01:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>more acres. He pardoned fifteen hundred people going out the door,

1405
01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:14.359
<v Speaker 1>including his own son, for various drugs and other charges,

1406
01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:19.359
<v Speaker 1>including the trafficking of a teenage girls for his personal benefit.

1407
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:21.479
<v Speaker 1>This is what Joe Biden's going to talk about. I

1408
01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:24.359
<v Speaker 1>guess he's talking now at two of five pm to

1409
01:16:24.479 --> 01:16:27.640
<v Speaker 1>my left, and it's pretty sad. And just in the

1410
01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Middle East, Just in the Middle East, when Trump engineered

1411
01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>an historic peace deal called the Abraham Accords, they were

1412
01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:40.239
<v Speaker 1>building on Joe Biden could have built on that success,

1413
01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:44.079
<v Speaker 1>but Biden didn't want to do that. He play caated

1414
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and awarded the radical rulers of Iran with gifts of

1415
01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:53.039
<v Speaker 1>over six billion dollars in direct money to Iran and

1416
01:16:53.199 --> 01:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>also made them gave them more favored nation trade status

1417
01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:01.159
<v Speaker 1>and also released to them about seven hundred million dollars

1418
01:17:01.199 --> 01:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>in additional money's held in American banks. And right now,

1419
01:17:06.199 --> 01:17:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Iran used that money to do what to increase the

1420
01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>military aspects of a HESBLA and a moss and the

1421
01:17:13.880 --> 01:17:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Huthist and more. Iran used that money to put the

1422
01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Middle East on fire when it was shall we say,

1423
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>subdued under Donald Trump the Abraham Accords, that Iran was

1424
01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:28.279
<v Speaker 1>being controlled. And now there's real fears that Iran somehow

1425
01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>is going to get a nuclear weapon. One of the

1426
01:17:30.920 --> 01:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>first things they would do is use it against Israel

1427
01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and then the world would basically end as we know it.

1428
01:17:36.960 --> 01:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>That that is the and I haven't talked about Afghanistan yet.

1429
01:17:40.359 --> 01:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>In Afghanistan, it was a peaceful time when Donald Trump

1430
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:48.239
<v Speaker 1>was in office, and he also very peaceful. What he

1431
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:53.079
<v Speaker 1>did was provide schools for girls and women in Afghanistan.

1432
01:17:53.199 --> 01:17:56.159
<v Speaker 1>They started having their human dignity and their human rights

1433
01:17:56.199 --> 01:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>restored under Donald Trump. Under Joe Biden talk about human

1434
01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:03.680
<v Speaker 1>rights girls and women in Afghanistan, they were obliterated. Biden

1435
01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:08.680
<v Speaker 1>elevated woke generals and woke admirals and considered DEI policies

1436
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>in the military, resulting in a severe recruitment crisis. Every

1437
01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>month ten thousand American men and women do not volunteer

1438
01:18:16.920 --> 01:18:19.239
<v Speaker 1>to go to the military because they don't do not

1439
01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:23.079
<v Speaker 1>hold it in high regard, and Biden projected American weakness

1440
01:18:23.319 --> 01:18:27.640
<v Speaker 1>after the withdrawal from Afghanistan that left thirteen American military

1441
01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:33.279
<v Speaker 1>personnel dead and the Taliban a deadly terrorist group in

1442
01:18:33.399 --> 01:18:36.319
<v Speaker 1>control of the country with billions of dollars of our

1443
01:18:36.399 --> 01:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>military equipment that they used in parades. Just the Afghanistan

1444
01:18:40.840 --> 01:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>by itself was an unmitigated Biden disaster, would you agree.

1445
01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:49.359
<v Speaker 1>They celebrated the collapse of the regime put in by

1446
01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:53.479
<v Speaker 1>the Americans to govern Taliban using our military hardware and

1447
01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>pray to that down the city streets and Kabo Afghanistan.

1448
01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:00.479
<v Speaker 1>And the weakness also told the Russians go ahead invade

1449
01:19:00.600 --> 01:19:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine and this led to three years that deadly war

1450
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>with two million dead in and around Ukraine. Because of

1451
01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:11.640
<v Speaker 1>what Joe Biden has done his presidency makes Jimmy Carter's

1452
01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>look like it was good. For God's sakes. This is awful,

1453
01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>It's terrible, and all began under a lie, perpetuated by

1454
01:19:18.760 --> 01:19:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a lie, which is he's mentally capable to do the job.

1455
01:19:22.439 --> 01:19:25.239
<v Speaker 1>The New York Times has now reported that in the

1456
01:19:25.319 --> 01:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>early days of the Biden administration in the in the

1457
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:32.319
<v Speaker 1>spring of twenty twenty one, it was known by his

1458
01:19:32.479 --> 01:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>staff and by others this guy was not mentally equipped

1459
01:19:35.560 --> 01:19:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to do the job. He didn't have the mental ability.

1460
01:19:37.920 --> 01:19:40.359
<v Speaker 1>He was failing mentally and has gotten worse the past

1461
01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>four years. And who covered it up? Democrats covered it up.

1462
01:19:44.359 --> 01:19:48.159
<v Speaker 1>The liberal media covered it up, NBC, ABC, CBS and

1463
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:51.800
<v Speaker 1>PBS covered it up. The Washington Post, New York Times

1464
01:19:52.039 --> 01:19:54.520
<v Speaker 1>covered it up because it didn't fit their purpose of

1465
01:19:54.600 --> 01:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>promoting Democrats and hurting Republicans. It is really unbelievable. With

1466
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>this lack of mental ability has been the president, causing

1467
01:20:04.119 --> 01:20:07.840
<v Speaker 1>many to ask, by the way, who is the president

1468
01:20:08.119 --> 01:20:11.640
<v Speaker 1>who's making all these decisions for judge ships, for foreign policy,

1469
01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Who's making decisions on taking out of the public domain

1470
01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the ability to drive for natural gas and oil off

1471
01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the nation's coast. Who's making the decisions about destroying ann

1472
01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>war and all the pipelines. Joe Biden is not capable

1473
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of reading or making a decision. Hell, he thinks that

1474
01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris still could beat Donald Trump for the presidency,

1475
01:20:32.399 --> 01:20:35.159
<v Speaker 1>could beat him. She ran and she lost. He's not

1476
01:20:35.239 --> 01:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>even sure who ran in the last election. And he's

1477
01:20:37.640 --> 01:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the president. He's left us massively in debt, disrespected around

1478
01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the world, a wide open southern border, a currency to

1479
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:48.920
<v Speaker 1>this being trashed, and a debt that is now thirty

1480
01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>seven trillion dollars, leaving Americans approximately eighteen trillion dollars in

1481
01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:59.199
<v Speaker 1>personal debt collectively all around the country. And to make

1482
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>things even worse, last Friday, the Biden administration, believe it

1483
01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:07.960
<v Speaker 1>or not, issued an eighteen month extension of TPS Temporary

1484
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:12.760
<v Speaker 1>protective status for about a million persons seeking asylum from Ukraine,

1485
01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:17.560
<v Speaker 1>El Salvador, Sudan, or Venezuela. This is an attempt to,

1486
01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>shall we say, Biden proof the Donald Trump administration and

1487
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:25.199
<v Speaker 1>its ability to deport non citizens from this country. You

1488
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>might recall in Springfield, Ohio, something like twenty thousand Haitians

1489
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:35.720
<v Speaker 1>for granted TPS status. And in Lachland, Ohio, near Wyoming, Ohio,

1490
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:39.199
<v Speaker 1>there's thousands of more Tanians wondering the streets what's going

1491
01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:42.479
<v Speaker 1>to happen next. Well, Biden just made it very difficult

1492
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:46.119
<v Speaker 1>to deport them because he giving them a twenty four

1493
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:50.720
<v Speaker 1>month extension on the TPS status. That is a small inkling,

1494
01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:53.840
<v Speaker 1>according to Matt Reees, of what Joe Biden and others

1495
01:21:54.079 --> 01:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>have done in this country. So to compliment him and

1496
01:21:56.880 --> 01:22:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to award him with anything is despicable. I consider Joe

1497
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Biden to be a disgraceful man, hateful and angry, who

1498
01:22:06.760 --> 01:22:10.399
<v Speaker 1>has committed numerous sexual acts against family members and others

1499
01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:14.600
<v Speaker 1>for which you would never held account I cannot underestimate

1500
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the loathsome presidency that has been left behind and given

1501
01:22:19.600 --> 01:22:23.159
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump. It's a nightmare that we will courageously

1502
01:22:23.279 --> 01:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>try to forget. But we can't because we got one

1503
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:28.960
<v Speaker 1>more week to go. And as jade Van said yesterday,

1504
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:33.279
<v Speaker 1>there's a dumpster fire underway literally and figuratively all over

1505
01:22:33.399 --> 01:22:37.079
<v Speaker 1>this world because of the policies of Joe Biden. And

1506
01:22:37.159 --> 01:22:39.840
<v Speaker 1>these are the same policies in effect in Los Angeles

1507
01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and Chicago and New York City and Washington, Memphis, and

1508
01:22:43.720 --> 01:22:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati were liberal Democrats have theories about the way things

1509
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:51.479
<v Speaker 1>should be, but instead the reality is that there's not

1510
01:22:51.640 --> 01:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a major American city with functioning public schools, a fully

1511
01:22:56.039 --> 01:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>funded police and fire department jobs proliferating through out in

1512
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.119
<v Speaker 1>places where people want to live. My own art town

1513
01:23:04.239 --> 01:23:07.319
<v Speaker 1>right here in Cincinnati nineteen seventy had about a half

1514
01:23:07.399 --> 01:23:10.720
<v Speaker 1>million residents. We've lost forty percent of the residents. And

1515
01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:12.840
<v Speaker 1>let's face it, no one would send their kid to

1516
01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>public schools in Cincinnati if you're the option to do

1517
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:19.800
<v Speaker 1>something different because to the policies of liberal Democrats, at

1518
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>some point they should be held to account. Many feel

1519
01:23:23.039 --> 01:23:26.039
<v Speaker 1>sorry for the people of Los Angeles, California, what they're

1520
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:30.000
<v Speaker 1>spending on DEI and homelessness and drug use and illegal

1521
01:23:30.039 --> 01:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>alien aliens and more, sanctuary city and a sanctuary state.

1522
01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:37.079
<v Speaker 1>One couldnot imagine a worse circumstance unless it would be

1523
01:23:37.119 --> 01:23:40.079
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago, New York City, where writers on the subway

1524
01:23:40.319 --> 01:23:43.600
<v Speaker 1>are set on fire, raped and robbed in public. It's unbelievable.

1525
01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>But the media will not cover objectively anything about Joe

1526
01:23:47.880 --> 01:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Biden or any Democrat. But I just did How does picture?

1527
01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>How does that picture. Look to you, how does this

1528
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:58.239
<v Speaker 1>sound about the status of this country. It's truly unbelievable

1529
01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>what he's done to the nation, domestically on the border

1530
01:24:02.119 --> 01:24:05.560
<v Speaker 1>with the budget and around the world as the nation's

1531
01:24:05.760 --> 01:24:10.319

1532
01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:12.359
<v Speaker 1>for all to see. If you had eyes to see

1533
01:24:12.439 --> 01:24:14.239
<v Speaker 1>and ears to hear, you knew what was going on,

1534
01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:17.239
<v Speaker 1>but you're encouraged not to talk because it might help

1535
01:24:17.279 --> 01:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, who now will take the oath office in

1536
01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:24.760

1540
01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:38.159
<v Speaker 1>There's more crime, illegal activity, more drugs, more illegal aliens

1541
01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:41.479
<v Speaker 1>pouring into the country, setting Los Angeles on fire. And

1542
01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine continues to be a thorn in our side and

1543
01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>has killed a couple million people. And now Israel itself

1544
01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:50.239
<v Speaker 1>may come under attack from the Iranians if they don't

1545
01:24:50.279 --> 01:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>act first. That is the policy left to us by

1554
01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Hello yet, And I'm broadcasting, so Rock, I'm studying last

1556
01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:48.800
<v Speaker 1>right there. The kick look wide right, Donk, and this one, Donk.

1557
01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Dennis had a joint out that commanders. That guy went

1558
01:25:51.479 --> 01:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>nuts in the.

1559
01:25:52.880 --> 01:25:57.600
<v Speaker 9>Same way our mother or Notre Dame pushed that field

01:25:57.640 --> 01:25:59.960
<v Speaker 9>goal from gonna go right.

1561
01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Looked like it might have gone right, but Jesus' mother

1562
01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:06.279
<v Speaker 1>just came at was a Notre Dame fan said, you're good.

1563
01:26:06.159 --> 01:26:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Hold got its way and the kick is Smitch jitter

1564

<v Speaker 3>with seven second left GMC the horish lead.

1565
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So maybe she's also a commander's fan. Don't know about that.

1566
01:26:21.159 --> 01:26:23.479
<v Speaker 1>But the in Detroit is gonna be tough. That's real

1567
01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.479
<v Speaker 1>tough duty right there. With that is tough. You got

1568
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Bills or Ravens. He got game? What a game? Lamar

1569
01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and Alan, I'm afraid to say because Scott sloanapythe put

1570
01:26:37.000 --> 01:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>a table over my head. I think Baltimore. What do

1571
01:26:40.239 --> 01:26:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you say, Rock, I'm gonna say the Bills. That's kind

1572
01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:46.079
<v Speaker 1>of the game. That's the game. But you know, so,

1573
01:26:47.159 --> 01:26:48.880
<v Speaker 1>is the MVP vote already done?

1574
01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:52.800
<v Speaker 9>No? The Pro Bowl all pro voting is Lamar Jackson

1575
01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:55.880
<v Speaker 9>got I think thirty Allen eighteen, Bro.

1576
01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>But I mean they're the m v P. No, I

1577
01:26:57.720 --> 01:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>don't they don't. They haven't, They haven't, media hasn't voted yet,

1578
01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:04.479
<v Speaker 1>or whoever it should suspend it until after this game.

1579
01:27:04.520 --> 01:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Then give the award whoever wins this game winner, take

1580
01:27:06.880 --> 01:27:09.279
<v Speaker 1>all that's it on the table like you do in

1581
01:27:09.359 --> 01:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the casinos, all right in the middle, with your heels

1582
01:27:11.920 --> 01:27:13.039
<v Speaker 1>on the table, and just push.

1583
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:13.239
<v Speaker 2>It all in.

1584
01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:16.119
<v Speaker 8>What about Philadelphia and maybe the Rams of the Vikes?

1585
01:27:16.199 --> 01:27:19.079
<v Speaker 8>Who takes it tonight? Do you like ro Phoenix?

1586
01:27:19.199 --> 01:27:21.520
<v Speaker 9>And do you like tonight in Phoenix? I like the

1587
01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:26.159
<v Speaker 9>Rams the time I get want the Viking. Both my sons,

1588
01:27:26.199 --> 01:27:28.760
<v Speaker 9>for some strange reason, are Vikings fans.

1589
01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:31.479
<v Speaker 1>I like the uniforms. And you know what that means.

1590
01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:34.920
<v Speaker 9>My middle son is a He's a Justin. You will

1591
01:27:35.319 --> 01:27:37.880
<v Speaker 9>what you never know what? He's a Justin Jefferson fan.

1592
01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:41.319
<v Speaker 9>My oldest son is a JJ McCarthy fan, even though

1593
01:27:41.319 --> 01:27:43.479
<v Speaker 9>he's not can't play currently the court man, I get

1594
01:27:43.520 --> 01:27:46.079
<v Speaker 9>the job back from the Vikings. Well, if the Vikings

1595
01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:50.000
<v Speaker 9>win this game, now what now the Vikings they franchised

1596
01:27:50.079 --> 01:27:54.199
<v Speaker 9>Sam Darnold and five years two or they let him

1597
01:27:54.239 --> 01:27:57.479
<v Speaker 9>go and he becomes the highest prize free agent on

1598
01:27:57.560 --> 01:27:59.880
<v Speaker 9>the market. Because this is a very weak quarterback tra

1599
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:02.039
<v Speaker 9>Afri coming out of college. It's McCarthy any good?

1600
01:28:02.079 --> 01:28:02.399
<v Speaker 7>Do we know?

1601
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:04.439
<v Speaker 1>It looks good on paper? But who knows? He looked

1602
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:07.720
<v Speaker 1>good in the very few preseason action you have. You

1603
01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:09.279
<v Speaker 1>never know, You never know, You don't know.

1604
01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Did he go with.

1605
01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:14.680
<v Speaker 9>The potential or the proven entity Donald? But I think

1606
01:28:14.760 --> 01:28:17.039
<v Speaker 9>that this, this will make their decision easy because if

1607
01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:21.319
<v Speaker 9>he I thank Donald as a career is underachieved. He's

1608
01:28:21.399 --> 01:28:23.079
<v Speaker 9>kind of hasn't really shown up in big games. Now,

1609
01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:26.279
<v Speaker 9>I guess with the coach with the Vikings and things

1610
01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:27.920
<v Speaker 9>have worked out a lot better. But then he had

1611
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:31.520
<v Speaker 9>the bad game against the Tryings not so can he

1612
01:28:31.560 --> 01:28:32.399
<v Speaker 9>show up in a big game?

1613
01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Since McCarthy any good is what I want to know.

1614
01:28:34.640 --> 01:28:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I think he is thinking to.

1615
01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:44.720
<v Speaker 8>Do the Steelers keep Mike Tomlin. Yes, yes, okay, I

1616
01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:46.359
<v Speaker 8>don't know, because what do you do?

1617
01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, well, I mean guy had had had a

1618
01:28:48.720 --> 01:28:51.319
<v Speaker 1>losing season in what fifty five years or something since

1619
01:28:51.319 --> 01:28:54.359
<v Speaker 1>he's been there. Maybe yeah, never, maybe more. How about

1620
01:28:54.399 --> 01:28:57.199
<v Speaker 1>this one first down on the one yard line, it's

1621
01:28:57.319 --> 01:29:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Texas against the Ohio State bucket. Do you do four

1622
01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:05.239
<v Speaker 1>quarterback sneaks or push touch pushes or do you may

1623
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:07.279
<v Speaker 1>be on the second play, throw it out to the left,

1624
01:29:07.560 --> 01:29:10.239
<v Speaker 1>let the guy run eight yards deep, get tackled. That

1625
01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:13.199
<v Speaker 1>plays a tipped Let me defend.

1626
01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Times.

1627
01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:18.920
<v Speaker 9>And I always think about this when fans and the

1628
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:23.039
<v Speaker 9>Super Bowl trans over react about a decision or a

1629
01:29:23.159 --> 01:29:26.199
<v Speaker 9>play call. Is it safe to say that Steve Sarkejian

1630
01:29:26.279 --> 01:29:29.000
<v Speaker 9>watched more film of Ohio State than you, or you

1631
01:29:29.319 --> 01:29:31.920
<v Speaker 9>or me or any fan out there ever? You think

1632
01:29:31.960 --> 01:29:34.880
<v Speaker 9>he probably had a good idea. Boy, over the evidence

1633
01:29:34.920 --> 01:29:37.479
<v Speaker 9>of the entire season. I've watched every game Ohio State

1634
01:29:37.560 --> 01:29:40.399
<v Speaker 9>versus every defense, every third and short every fourth. That

1635
01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:43.920
<v Speaker 9>is probably man let's strength of their defense is that interior.

1636
01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:47.159
<v Speaker 9>So I have I have evidence that running up the

1637
01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:50.279
<v Speaker 9>middle and doing a quarterback sneak prop doesn't work. The

1638
01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:52.239
<v Speaker 9>evidence shows it doesn't work. So I'm not going to

1639
01:29:52.279 --> 01:29:54.239
<v Speaker 9>be stupid and do you try to do the same thing.

1640
01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:56.239
<v Speaker 9>I'm gonna try to shoot to the outside. Did it work,

1641
01:29:56.520 --> 01:29:57.119
<v Speaker 9>It didn't work.

1642
01:29:58.399 --> 01:29:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying.

1643
01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:01.680
<v Speaker 9>I'm just saying that probably you know, I'm gonna give

1644
01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:03.159
<v Speaker 9>him the benefit of out. I'm not saying it was

1645
01:30:03.199 --> 01:30:05.680
<v Speaker 9>a great call. I'm just saying he went with the

1646
01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:08.039
<v Speaker 9>evidence that he research.

1647
01:30:08.159 --> 01:30:11.600
<v Speaker 1>You hear the comments from the Ohio State back the

1648
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>cornerbacks who said we knew they were in this alignment.

1649
01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>They were going to pitch it left, and the cornerbacks

1650
01:30:17.199 --> 01:30:19.680
<v Speaker 1>that I'm gonna shoot the crease, and they watched and

1651
01:30:19.800 --> 01:30:22.439
<v Speaker 1>watched and said, it's that alignment. We can tell he's

1652
01:30:22.439 --> 01:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be a pitch left, and they shot the crease.

1653
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:30.479
<v Speaker 1>And then that Jack Sawyer becomes an instant. How about

1654
01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that buck eye legend? He will Yeah, he's he's set.

1655
01:30:33.840 --> 01:30:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll never pay for another meal and he is set.

1656
01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:38.560
<v Speaker 1>That was a great play, great young man. You see

1657
01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:40.680
<v Speaker 1>an NFL or can he make it at the pitch? Yeah,

1658
01:30:40.720 --> 01:30:45.560
<v Speaker 1>he's he's a linebacker probably top three rounds kind of pick.

1659
01:30:45.640 --> 01:30:49.039
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, how about that playing Buck Eye? Your

1660
01:30:49.279 --> 01:30:52.199
<v Speaker 1>that's it? That's it. That's it. I can't recall another.

1661
01:30:52.640 --> 01:30:56.159
<v Speaker 9>The things are gonna be remembered. Punching that guy and

1662
01:30:56.880 --> 01:30:58.720
<v Speaker 9>Jack Sawyer, Jack.

1663
01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Former taking it back. Yeah, that's true.

1664
01:31:07.000 --> 01:31:07.119
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1665
01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I was shocked in a maze that. Now it also

1666
01:31:11.039 --> 01:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>comes down to players.

1667
01:31:12.000 --> 01:31:15.880
<v Speaker 9>Not every defense has Caleb Downs who can fly up

1668
01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:17.159
<v Speaker 9>like that and run support.

1669
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:21.319
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna throw that pitch toss around, I'm gonna and

1670
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:23.359
<v Speaker 1>he went there almost when the ball was highed. He

1671
01:31:23.479 --> 01:31:24.199
<v Speaker 1>ran to that point.

1672
01:31:24.359 --> 01:31:26.560
<v Speaker 9>I said before the season that may be the best

1673
01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:29.920
<v Speaker 9>transfer portal signing in college footbak So.

1674
01:31:30.039 --> 01:31:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I watched him at Alabama and he is good. It's

1675
01:31:33.279 --> 01:31:37.000
<v Speaker 1>really good. He's Minka fitzpatrick ish segment. Give me some

1676
01:31:37.079 --> 01:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>sports and make it fast, will he? The Stoot Reporters

1677
01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:42.239
<v Speaker 1>approach service of your local Tame Star Heating and their

1678
01:31:42.279 --> 01:31:46.399
<v Speaker 1>conditioning dealers. Tame Star quality you can feel in Cincinnati

1679
01:31:46.479 --> 01:31:49.279
<v Speaker 1>called Sheldon Braun and Braun Heating at five one, three,

1680
01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:54.760
<v Speaker 1>three eight five seventy seven sixty five. He related to

1681
01:31:54.800 --> 01:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the new governor of Indiana. I think so Sheldon Bron

1682
01:31:58.319 --> 01:32:01.479
<v Speaker 1>really that Rob Bron and Bob Braun, right, Yeah, Sat Braun.

1683
01:32:01.760 --> 01:32:05.119
<v Speaker 8>Mike McCarthy out out and the big D in Dallas's

1684
01:32:05.520 --> 01:32:08.760
<v Speaker 8>boys head coach and two sides couldn't agree on the

1685
01:32:08.840 --> 01:32:09.840
<v Speaker 8>length of a contract.

1686
01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:16.199
<v Speaker 1>So he's out leading candidate Dion. That's a circus, isn't it?

1687
01:32:17.319 --> 01:32:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Any buddies with with Jerry Jones, He's not going on.

1688
01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones has a lot of buddies. Does he make

1689
01:32:22.439 --> 01:32:23.720
<v Speaker 1>him the head coach of his team?

1690
01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:24.319
<v Speaker 9>I don't know.

1691
01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that a good idea? I don't know about that.

1692
01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Colorados? Is he welcome? Can he go

1693
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:32.760
<v Speaker 1>back to Colorado? I don't think the sun's gone. I

1694
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>think Bill Belichick might have made his choice too soon.

1695
01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:39.960
<v Speaker 9>I'm sure he did his due diligence and found out

1696
01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:42.439
<v Speaker 9>that even if that job he's going to vacant, he's

1697
01:32:42.520 --> 01:32:44.840
<v Speaker 9>not going to hire me. He went to North Carolina

1698
01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:46.600
<v Speaker 9>because that was his only option.

1699
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:51.760
<v Speaker 8>Former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, Yeah, he was involved

1700
01:32:51.800 --> 01:32:54.960
<v Speaker 8>in the Bengal searchs as a New Day defensive coordinator.

1701
01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:57.479
<v Speaker 1>How about that? Now he's a good defensive coordinator.

1702
01:32:57.520 --> 01:33:00.239
<v Speaker 9>He was with the Colts in what twenty eight team

1703
01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:03.520
<v Speaker 9>to twenty twenty one, a top ten run defense and

1704
01:33:03.640 --> 01:33:05.239
<v Speaker 9>top ten and takeaways.

1705
01:33:04.760 --> 01:33:07.760
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. That's what they

1706
01:33:07.880 --> 01:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>bring back. Mike Zimmer, everyone likes to bring everybody back.

1707
01:33:15.119 --> 01:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>He still lives in in the Independence Kentucky. Zimmer has

1708
01:33:18.600 --> 01:33:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the place there, lives there. So I don't know this.

1709
01:33:21.760 --> 01:33:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Tractors from back to attractor. I love Batavia, I love

1710
01:33:24.880 --> 01:33:27.079
<v Speaker 1>those those guys. I'm just saying, what's the name of

1711
01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:30.399
<v Speaker 1>this guy? Flues? Yeah, Iberflus, can you spell it?

1712
01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:34.000
<v Speaker 9>And he has some head coaching experience, albeit he didn't

1713
01:33:34.039 --> 01:33:36.000
<v Speaker 9>perform well as his head coach, so maybe that there's

1714
01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:37.359
<v Speaker 9>something valuable.

1715
01:33:36.960 --> 01:33:43.119
<v Speaker 1>There for Zach get McCarthy, then where's he go? No,

1716
01:33:44.720 --> 01:33:48.199
<v Speaker 1>they screwed up by not hiring Vrabel. And you see

1717
01:33:48.239 --> 01:33:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Bill Belichick sitting in the living room of a seventeen

1718
01:33:51.079 --> 01:33:54.119
<v Speaker 1>year old talking about the glories of the target Belichick

1719
01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:54.560
<v Speaker 1>with a seven.

1720
01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:57.640
<v Speaker 9>But here, here's the deal, guys. These coaches no longer

1721
01:33:57.760 --> 01:34:01.000
<v Speaker 9>have to go into the living room, are these these kids?

1722
01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Because it's good. It's not a it's not a pitch anymore.

1723
01:34:03.439 --> 01:34:05.199
<v Speaker 1>It's not Hey, let me tell you about our facilities.

1724
01:34:05.319 --> 01:34:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you.

1725
01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:09.720
<v Speaker 9>It's how much you're gonna pay me. Brett Bilama, good

1726
01:34:10.039 --> 01:34:13.279
<v Speaker 9>book check book head coach of Illinois. He did not

1727
01:34:13.479 --> 01:34:16.239
<v Speaker 9>visit of all his recruits for this recruiting cycle. He

1728
01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:18.600
<v Speaker 9>did not stand in the living room of one of them,

1729
01:34:18.680 --> 01:34:20.079
<v Speaker 9>because he said, it's this pointless.

1730
01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:22.399
<v Speaker 1>All they want to know is the number, and I

1731
01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:23.800
<v Speaker 1>can do that. I can call them and tell him

1732
01:34:23.800 --> 01:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>what the number is, so I don't need to recruit him.

1733
01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I need to sell them. It's a pretty hard black

1734
01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:31.960
<v Speaker 1>or white deal that RedHawks now have. Some Belichick don't

1735
01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:34.159
<v Speaker 1>have to do anything. It's Scott Farmer writing some big

1736
01:34:34.279 --> 01:34:37.399
<v Speaker 1>checks in Miami segment. I don't know. They're getting players up.

1737
01:34:38.119 --> 01:34:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Martin's getting players like crazy.

1738
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:43.199
<v Speaker 9>They got the Kwan Finn who was at Toledo two

1739
01:34:43.319 --> 01:34:45.000
<v Speaker 9>years ago. He was the MAC Player of the Year

1740
01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:47.439
<v Speaker 9>in twenty twenty three. He went to Baylor this past year.

1741
01:34:47.439 --> 01:34:49.560
<v Speaker 9>I don't know the situation. If they only played three games.

1742
01:34:49.560 --> 01:34:51.800
<v Speaker 9>I don't know if he just didn't make it or

1743
01:34:51.840 --> 01:34:52.479
<v Speaker 9>if he got hurt.

1744
01:34:52.600 --> 01:34:55.439
<v Speaker 1>But he's a good player. Well now he's playing for Miami.

1745
01:34:55.479 --> 01:34:57.720
<v Speaker 1>How much money wy that quarterback get in Miami? All

1746
01:34:57.760 --> 01:35:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of it a million? Imice sor you're getting a million

1747
01:35:01.920 --> 01:35:05.079
<v Speaker 1>about Gisel? Gisel's getting six hundred and fifty thousand for

1748
01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>not playing for the Bear Cuts. Is that accurate?

1749
01:35:08.359 --> 01:35:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1750
01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I think so. That's what someone knowledgeable close to me said.

1751
01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:16.319
<v Speaker 1>And then you look at Freemantle four hundred and fifty thousand.

1752
01:35:16.640 --> 01:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>We're talking some syrup. We're talking money and where where's

1753
01:35:22.279 --> 01:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the r O? I though, you need to return on

1754
01:35:25.119 --> 01:35:28.600
<v Speaker 1>investments number one and Gisel's not returning on the investment,

1755
01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:32.239
<v Speaker 1>which you agree, Greed, It's like, man, your reaction.

1766
01:36:10.800 --> 01:36:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the pebbles. No what me myself and I to work trips,

1767
01:36:15.800 --> 01:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>saying I thought the three I thought the three kids

1768
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:20.359
<v Speaker 1>would be recruited by Marcus Freeman We're gonna work on

1769
01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:22.319
<v Speaker 1>that as well. But I'm just saying they will be

1770
01:36:22.520 --> 01:36:25.039
<v Speaker 1>recruited by Deer Park High School right now in Jim Stall,

1771
01:36:25.119 --> 01:36:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the new superintendent little nil money for the park.

1772
01:36:28.479 --> 01:36:28.880
<v Speaker 2>You like that?

1773
01:36:29.239 --> 01:36:31.119
<v Speaker 1>I do you like that a lot? Where are the

1774
01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:31.640
<v Speaker 1>kids going?

1775
01:36:31.680 --> 01:36:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Do you know? Yet?

1776
01:36:32.319 --> 01:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Can't say and say it depends how much money for

1777
01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the nil nil.

1778
01:36:38.680 --> 01:36:40.560
<v Speaker 9>N I l is coming to high school? By the way,

1779
01:36:41.079 --> 01:36:44.359
<v Speaker 9>it exists in other Why do you think you think

1780
01:36:44.399 --> 01:36:47.159
<v Speaker 9>Chris Henry's kid who was at what was it with throw?

1781
01:36:47.840 --> 01:36:49.199
<v Speaker 9>You think he went for a senior year and went

1782
01:36:49.239 --> 01:36:55.359
<v Speaker 9>out to California? Of course, yes, yeah, sure, I know better,

1783
01:36:55.640 --> 01:36:56.720
<v Speaker 9>I know it happen.

1784
01:36:56.680 --> 01:37:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Saying a better education. Now, here's one thing that came

1785
01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:01.399
<v Speaker 1>up over the week, and I see it in the

1786
01:37:01.479 --> 01:37:05.039
<v Speaker 1>literature that the SEC paid its players all the time,

1787
01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:07.720
<v Speaker 1>directly or indirectly, lots of money. Yes, Now the Big

1788
01:37:07.840 --> 01:37:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Ten and all the rest now caught up to the

1789
01:37:09.640 --> 01:37:13.239
<v Speaker 1>SEC and the above table as opposed to the under table.

1790
01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:16.439
<v Speaker 1>There's not been an SEC champion in the last two seasons.

1791
01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:19.199
<v Speaker 1>No one's not even been in the finals. That means

1792
01:37:19.279 --> 01:37:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the Big Ten and others, Notre Dame included, have seen

1793
01:37:22.319 --> 01:37:25.279
<v Speaker 1>the ways of the SEC. Now they can do it legally,

1794
01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and the SEC did it illegally. Your comments go.

1795
01:37:29.840 --> 01:37:34.880
<v Speaker 9>Well, it's say it's spreading out the talent, which it

1796
01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:36.920
<v Speaker 9>depends on what side you're on, if it's a good

1797
01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:37.359
<v Speaker 9>thing or not.

1798
01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:41.600
<v Speaker 1>The days of those dominant twenty twenty one twenty twenty.

1799
01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:44.399
<v Speaker 9>Two Georgia teams, I had, like, you know, eleven guys

1800
01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:47.479
<v Speaker 9>drafted off of defense kind of stuff. That's not going

1801
01:37:47.520 --> 01:37:50.319
<v Speaker 9>to happen anymore because no one's the What made the

1802
01:37:50.520 --> 01:37:54.279
<v Speaker 9>SEC and the top teams, the Alabama's and the Georgias

1803
01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:57.960
<v Speaker 9>of the world, what made them the best is their depth. Okay,

1804
01:37:58.039 --> 01:38:00.800
<v Speaker 9>over the course of a fourteen game season and somebody's

1805
01:38:00.840 --> 01:38:03.319
<v Speaker 9>gonna get hurt, well, they would bring in a guy

1806
01:38:03.399 --> 01:38:05.439
<v Speaker 9>off the bench that would be a starter on any

1807
01:38:05.479 --> 01:38:08.079
<v Speaker 9>other team. Well, now that kid that's the seventh or

1808
01:38:08.119 --> 01:38:10.760
<v Speaker 9>eighth lineman or sixth or seventh or eighth lineman on

1809
01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:12.720
<v Speaker 9>the team, he's not gonna sit there and be the backup.

1810
01:38:12.720 --> 01:38:15.640
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna go somewhere and play. So you don't have

1811
01:38:15.800 --> 01:38:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the depth.

1812
01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:19.760
<v Speaker 9>I think it's remarkable Notre Dame's depth, and they had

1813
01:38:19.880 --> 01:38:22.359
<v Speaker 9>so many injuries and are still playing in the National

1814
01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:22.880
<v Speaker 9>title game.

1815
01:38:22.960 --> 01:38:26.000
<v Speaker 1>That Georgia quarterback. He just went to Miami, right the girlfriend.

1816
01:38:26.159 --> 01:38:30.960
<v Speaker 1>His girlfriend plays basketball there. The Vender Twins left the

1817
01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Dogs and went to the Canes.

1818
01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1819
01:38:33.079 --> 01:38:36.760
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, he's not I'm not a huge I got a

1820
01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:39.119
<v Speaker 9>text from a g S. It shows you he's probably

1821
01:38:39.359 --> 01:38:41.159
<v Speaker 9>he's gonna make more money in college than you would have.

1822
01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:46.319
<v Speaker 1>It in Caitlin Clark to the w n b A.

1823
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:48.199
<v Speaker 1>She was making two two and a half million year

1824
01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:50.720
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa. Her salary there was four hundred and some

1825
01:38:50.840 --> 01:38:53.439
<v Speaker 1>thousand and then in the NBA. But now she can

1826
01:38:53.640 --> 01:38:55.800
<v Speaker 1>still make the money. And if she stayed at iowash

1827
01:38:55.800 --> 01:38:58.319
<v Speaker 1>she would have all the shoe deals anyway, plus two

1828
01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:01.439
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, all the rings, all the had, all women everything.

1829
01:39:01.479 --> 01:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I got a texture from a g SL star Ward.

1830
01:39:03.560 --> 01:39:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I want to mention the school that says g SL

1831
01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:10.640
