Speaker 1: Billy Cunningham, the Great America, welcome this Friday afternoon in
Speaker 1: the tri said, of course, three to five inches, maybe
Speaker 1: two to four inches are coming your way with Ted
Speaker 1: McKay starting about three or four o'clock today. On top
Speaker 1: of the twelve inches. I'm getting reports that I have
Speaker 1: to have pureval was sighted somewhere on South Beach in
Speaker 1: Miami about four or five days ago during this storm.
Speaker 1: Which is what Democratic mayors do. They simply get out
Speaker 1: of town, whether it's Africa or the South Beach when
Speaker 1: there's a crisis. Count on the Democratic mayors and other
Speaker 1: mayors to do absolutely nothing except to exacerbate the problem. Plus,
Speaker 1: we had the Carter funeral of yesterday. That was a
Speaker 1: great viewing. Jimmy Carter lived for over one hundred years.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible president, but did much better in
Speaker 1: the post presidency. Plus we had the Trump sentencing and more.
Speaker 1: Jony you and I now is Mac Marianni, a history
Speaker 1: professor at the Xavier University and Professor Marianni. Welcome again
Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mack, how are you.
Speaker 1: I'm doing very well. Thanks thanks for having me. I
Speaker 1: do want to always first of all say I don't
Speaker 1: speak for Xavier University, but I'm happy to share my,
Speaker 1: you know, my thoughts about what I think is a
Speaker 1: pretty important moment in American politics. I think, particularly for
Speaker 1: those of us who are on the older side like me, UH,
Speaker 1: to see, you know, Jimmy Carter live to this long age,
Speaker 1: and and to think about what what he got to
Speaker 1: observe and see over the course of his lifetime, and
Speaker 1: his contributions obviously to UH, to American politics, good and bad.
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a pretty pretty interesting event
Speaker 1: in American politics and political history.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I did make the point to a friend of mine this,
Speaker 1: this will never happen again to have five presidents together
Speaker 1: in one location along with their spouse's minus Michelle. And
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be around Michelle Obama anyway, so it
Speaker 1: was good she didn't show up, But nonetheless, to have
Speaker 1: these five there and to watch the interactions, this will
Speaker 1: never happen again. I think it's you're a history kind
Speaker 1: of a guy. Maybe there's never been at one point
Speaker 1: five presidents alive at the same time.
Speaker 3: Is that, Oh, that's all That's a good good, that's
Speaker 3: a good question. I'd have to think that sometime in
Speaker 3: the like eighteen seventies or eighties, we probably did, and
Speaker 3: the early presidents right were around you had Washington, Well,
Speaker 3: Washington died early those ninety six Yeah, you might be right.
Speaker 4: You might be right.
Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look at that, I think,
Speaker 3: you know, I think one of the interesting things to
Speaker 3: think about is when you look at those presidents sort
Speaker 3: of lined up. One is the interactions that they have
Speaker 3: with one another, which is sort of interesting to see,
Speaker 3: and and the different sort of approaches to their post
Speaker 3: presidencies individually that that have gone about. But you also
Speaker 3: see this sort of transition, you know, between.
Speaker 4: You know, not in terms.
Speaker 3: Of age, because now I think our current president was
Speaker 3: the oldest one there, but the the idea that you know,
Speaker 3: the American politics has changed substantially from the seventies. I mean,
Speaker 3: one of the things that sometimes we get kind of
Speaker 3: caught up in is the sort of un you know,
Speaker 3: the unfinished business that we have as a country to
Speaker 3: you know, to sort of live out the promises of
Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independent and we're certainly always striving to
Speaker 3: do that and we're always sort of coming short. But
Speaker 3: when you look at the changes that have happened in
Speaker 3: American history, whether it comes to civil rights or even
Speaker 3: economic freedoms and uh speech and other things like that.
Speaker 3: There's there's been, uh, there's been so many dramatic changes
Speaker 3: that have taken place. I think mostly for the good
Speaker 3: that have that I've seen over the course of my lifetime.
Speaker 3: And those presidents were you know, we're we're involved in
Speaker 3: a lot of those different decisions and had to sort
Speaker 3: of make decisions that that ends up impacting the country
Speaker 3: and impacting the freedoms that we enjoy every day. So
Speaker 3: it's it's sort of interesting to look at that transition
Speaker 3: from what the country used to be in the you
Speaker 3: know before before Jimmy Carter, and to see where we
Speaker 3: are right now.
Speaker 1: And you go back maybe about a week or so,
Speaker 1: there were six presidents alive at the same time. Bill Clinton, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's more or less alive, and uh Bush forty three,
Speaker 1: he looks terrible, and uh Barack Hussein Obama actually looks
Speaker 1: pretty good. And then throw on top about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He looks good for a seven eightyear old. Then you
Speaker 1: have Joe Biden, he looks bad for an eddy two
Speaker 1: year old. Then you had Jimmy Carter, who looked terrible
Speaker 1: to be one hundred years old. So when was the
Speaker 1: last time there were six presidents alive simultaneously as of
Speaker 1: about a week ago. Think about that, one, professor, it
Speaker 1: is amazing.
Speaker 3: And again going back to Carter, like I see Carter
Speaker 3: as this sort of transitional figure, right, he saw he
Speaker 3: saw a transition in the South on civil rights. You know,
Speaker 3: at various points of his career came down on either
Speaker 3: side depending on what was politically advantageous at the time.
Speaker 3: He oversaw a transition in the party. I mean, you
Speaker 3: look back if you listen to JFK's inaugural address and
Speaker 3: in his talk about him, certainly it's a it's a
Speaker 3: pro government but you know, he had expansive ideas about government.
Speaker 3: But it was a very optimistic vision. It was a
Speaker 3: pro growth vision. It was to some extent America centered,
Speaker 3: certainly American values centered, and somewhat militaristic. Uh you get
Speaker 3: you know, you get to Carter, you get to Obama.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a much more dubvish and globalistic part
Speaker 3: than it used to be. Uh, you know, America the
Speaker 3: idea of America first is sort.
Speaker 4: Of very contrary to to sort of.
Speaker 3: Their approach to to looking at looking at policies, and
Speaker 3: you see that in Carter. Carter was a perfect example
Speaker 3: that with the Panama Canal. Right, I mean the idea
Speaker 3: that f K would have given away the canal and
Speaker 3: the strategic given the strategic importance of that of that
Speaker 3: of that particular piece of property is it's impossible to believe.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: But by by the time you get to Carter, it's
Speaker 3: post Watergate, it's post Vietnam. The party changed dramatically and
Speaker 3: really set the set the tune for you know, about
Speaker 3: forty forty five years of uh, you know, Republican versus
Speaker 3: Democratic battles.
Speaker 1: I love speaking to historians. I have this theory which
Speaker 1: a few people have accepted most of not that for
Speaker 1: about one hundred years in the South, the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: attacked civil rights. The Democratic Party was the Confederacy. The
Speaker 1: Democratic Party was lynching folks. The Democratic Party was the
Speaker 1: ku klux Klan. The Democratic Party was all about segregation.
Speaker 1: And the federal courts in the nineteen fifties got involved
Speaker 1: and said to the Democrats, guess what the fourteenth Amendment
Speaker 1: will be expanded, And that means federal courts who have
Speaker 1: jurisdiction over you Democrats, because you Democrats aren't treating black
Speaker 1: folks like human beings. Flip ahead about half a century.
Speaker 1: Now we have again, in my viewpoint, the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: especially the big urban cities, are attacking civil rights once again.
Speaker 1: From a different perspective. What they're saying now in New
Speaker 1: York City is we can use the court system to indict,
Speaker 1: convict and sentenced to nothing of President Donald Trump this morning,
Speaker 1: for example, we can go after and Los Angeles and
Speaker 1: Chicago Republicans to make sure they're unelected. That it looked
Speaker 1: like to me for one hundred years the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: was under attack, and finally the federal Court said you
Speaker 1: can't do that anymore. And now the opposite is taking place.
Speaker 1: In a sense once again, the Democratic Party is saying,
Speaker 1: we're going to sentence our political opponent to jail or
Speaker 1: try to get them in jail so they can't run again.
Speaker 1: And now this US Supreme Court said yesterday five to
Speaker 1: four that well, because there's going to be no sentence
Speaker 1: on this thing, that is not going to keep Trump
Speaker 1: from from going after the presidency and is getting ready
Speaker 1: to do so so. For one hundred years in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party of post civil rights. Now they use the
Speaker 1: court system with Daniel Penny the marine and subway to
Speaker 1: go to make a political point, and now the federal
Speaker 1: courts against stepping in a CW. Wait a minute, Democrats,
Speaker 1: you did that for one hundred years.
Speaker 6: Stop it.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: On the other side, here we are once again the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party ignoring federal law when it comes to a
Speaker 1: legal migration, their legal immigration. They're ignoring federal law again,
Speaker 1: and the courts are stepping in and saying, Democrats, you
Speaker 1: can't do that.
Speaker 6: Can you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think the idea of one party rule,
Speaker 3: and certainly you look at the South and the you know,
Speaker 3: from the you know, eighteen eighties to the the nineteen
Speaker 3: sixties was essentially one you know, one party rule. The
Speaker 3: idea of the blue dog Democrat, right, you'd elected a
Speaker 3: dog before you would before you would elect a Republican
Speaker 3: was that was that resonated. It wasn't really until until
Speaker 3: the late seventies, probably early eighties, that you start to
Speaker 3: see real political competition in the South, and that you know,
Speaker 3: that has fundamentally changed the Republican Party. It's fundamentally changed
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party. I think everywhere you see one party
Speaker 3: complete dominance with no actual competition, you know, there's that's
Speaker 3: right for corruption, it's right for sort of the excesses
Speaker 3: of the parties. And in California and UH and what
Speaker 3: we're seeing there in terms of the sort of mismanagement
Speaker 3: of all of their institutions is is part partly due
Speaker 3: to the fact that there's nobody actually competing for political jobs.
Speaker 2: There's nobody actually putting political.
Speaker 3: Pressure on UH, on the Democrats who control who control California.
Speaker 3: That's bad for Democrats, it's bad for Republicans, and ultimately
Speaker 3: it's bad for governance because you really do need to
Speaker 3: have the parties hold each other accountable. You can't have
Speaker 3: a one party system, and it just doesn't work well.
Speaker 1: Kind of the core the Constitution is was always will
Speaker 1: be balance of power, dispersing it all over the place.
Speaker 1: When you have Democratic mayors in Denver, Chicago, New York,
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and Karen bess is in way over her
Speaker 1: head saying we're not going to enforce federal law. Whatever
Speaker 1: the federal law says about participating with the marshals or
Speaker 1: ice in order to enforce federal law. We're not going
Speaker 1: to do that, and then in the school system, every
Speaker 1: kid's entitled to equality education. There's nowhere in urban America
Speaker 1: where the Democratic Party completely controls of public education in
Speaker 1: every major American city, and which is any good product
Speaker 1: coming out of the public school system because they're not
Speaker 1: enforcing the law to provide a quality education. In fact,
Speaker 1: CPS this week, there's been one day they've been in
Speaker 1: school this week, which was partially on Thursday.
Speaker 6: And that's it.
Speaker 1: And so the Democratic Party is a one voice in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus,
Speaker 1: every other major American city. And when the FED say
Speaker 1: this is federal law, in force it, Democratic mayor say,
Speaker 1: we're not going to force federal law. In the eighteen
Speaker 1: eighties or nineteen fifties, we're not going to force federal law.
Speaker 6: The same Democratic Party in the nineteen.
Speaker 1: Fifties who stood in the doorway of public education buildings
Speaker 1: saying you can't come in here, it's the same Democratic
Speaker 1: Party now saying forget about federal law. We're not going
Speaker 1: to help you, we're not going to enforce it. And
Speaker 1: something's got to be done now. Secondly, before we get
Speaker 1: into it, kind of give me your sense of Jimmy
Speaker 1: Carter's presidency Right now, I watch in MSNBC so you
Speaker 1: don't have to, and they're putting Jimmy Carter up there
Speaker 1: on Mount Rushmore. This guy was the precursor Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: He made all the right decisions he left office. You
Speaker 1: might remember maybe you're I don't know what age you
Speaker 1: are exactly, but in the nineteen early nineteen eighties there
Speaker 1: was a sense this guy is below James Buchanan, who
Speaker 1: led America into the Civil War. The voters at that
Speaker 1: point gave Jimmy Carter six states and Ronald Reagan forty
Speaker 1: four states. Then in nineteen eighty four they gave Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan forty nine states, including California and New York State.
Speaker 1: Where does Jimmy Carter rankin and mac marianna Pantheon of
Speaker 1: Great Presidents?
Speaker 3: If anywhere, he's pretty he's pretty low.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I want to say that his.
Speaker 3: Political voice, you know, was moral, religious, and populist, and
Speaker 3: I think that that was something that resonated in nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy six when he was elected, the country was very
Speaker 3: disillusioned by its governmental institutions, by its leaders. He had Vietnam,
Speaker 3: he had Watergate, and his political voice was one that
Speaker 3: seemed honest and refreshing. But I think ultimately the problem
Speaker 3: for his presidency, and I think his post presidency to
Speaker 3: some degree, is that he sort of overcorrected.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: He looked at the problems that American policies had had
Speaker 3: created in part you look at supportive dictators in South
Speaker 3: America or the Middle East and whatever, and he went
Speaker 3: the opposite. He said, Okay, well, if our support of
Speaker 3: the Shah was bad, then and you know, we we
Speaker 3: can work with the Iyatola. And it turns out you
Speaker 3: can't work with the Iola. You know, if our support
Speaker 3: for dictators in South America was good, well then I
Speaker 3: can work with Javas, And you can't work with Javas
Speaker 3: because he's ultimately a dictator and a communist and anti American.
Speaker 3: And so he's sort of always over corrected.
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, he had good.
Speaker 3: Intention, like he always was on the side of democracy
Speaker 3: and and and giving people.
Speaker 4: Voice, but he was.
Speaker 3: Trying to overcome this idea, this sort of America first
Speaker 3: militaristic mentality and and and and by reacting doing the
Speaker 3: complete opposite, he often made the world a worse place.
Speaker 3: You know, the people in Venezuela. You know, lived for
Speaker 3: you know, for how many decades, you know, have lived
Speaker 3: in how many decades in poverty, in in fear, without freedoms.
Speaker 3: So likewise, the global terror state that the that Iran
Speaker 3: became because of his in actions and secklessness. We've lived
Speaker 3: with the consequences of that. He wanted peace, he worked
Speaker 3: for peace, but he was never really able to accomplish
Speaker 3: any of those goals, in part because you know, he
Speaker 3: always assumed the person on the other side of the
Speaker 3: table was a good and moral man like he was. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the reality is that not everybody is.
Speaker 6: Yep, no question.
Speaker 1: And I look at nineteen seventy two with the killing
Speaker 1: of those Israeli wrestlers at the Olympics.
Speaker 6: That was awful.
Speaker 1: And then within seven years I had told a Komaney
Speaker 1: took over Iran because of certain factions within Iran. Now
Speaker 1: that has been the sight of evil for the past
Speaker 1: what forty five years. It's been awful, and Jimmy Carter
Speaker 1: was present and allowed many of those things to transpire. Now, lastly,
Speaker 1: a little bit of basketball. Now this is Friday afternoon.
Speaker 1: We've got some snow coming. Mac Marianni, Professor Xavier, Sean
Speaker 1: Miller and Wes Miller. It's Miller time and Cincinnati. When
Speaker 1: I watch U s here Xavier player, I need some Miller.
Speaker 1: I need some Miller lite. I got to start drinking
Speaker 1: at I know Sean Miller can coach because he's done
Speaker 1: it before. The team that took the court the other
Speaker 1: night against Saint John's was awful. The faithful we're leaving
Speaker 1: the Mount of Sentas Center early and booing as they left,
Speaker 1: an anger and with Wes Miller, My god, that team
Speaker 1: looks terrible. They go to Baylor and get hammered by twenty.
Speaker 1: Then they're going to play Kansas, I guess tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: do you have any hope for Xavior basketball? Do you
Speaker 1: have any hope?
Speaker 2: Well, I need hope.
Speaker 3: I need I think it's I think it's I think
Speaker 3: it starts with the coach. And you know, I think
Speaker 3: Sean Miller is you know, I think he's he's he's
Speaker 3: the right leader. I mean, he's proven it again and again.
Speaker 3: I think the challenge, I mean, we're in the speaking
Speaker 3: of transitional periods, you know, dealing with the new realities
Speaker 3: of college basketball that you're not you're not going to
Speaker 3: get the opportunity to develop players. Over the course of
Speaker 3: four years, you're really creating a new team almost every year.
Speaker 3: And you know, and I think some of the benefit
Speaker 3: of coaching coach Lake Miller is that he's got a system,
Speaker 3: and he's got and he's and he can work with
Speaker 3: people and improve them. But that that year has sort
Speaker 3: of disappeared pretty quickly, and so coach coacheslake Miller are
Speaker 3: gonna have to are adjusting to the new reality. And
Speaker 3: college is Lake all around the country are having to
Speaker 3: deal with that. I'm not an expert in basketball, but
Speaker 3: I believe that that Miller's the right was and is
Speaker 3: the right guy. And you know, we'll find we'll find
Speaker 3: our way through this.
Speaker 1: Freemantle makes about four hundred thousand dollars a year to
Speaker 1: play basketball. He's making it for like five years because
Speaker 1: he keeps getting hurt. I don't think if Professor Xavier
Speaker 1: makes four hundred thousand dollars a year, and the NIL
Speaker 1: is a new world and if you're not if a
Speaker 1: player isn't happy, you'll simply leave go play somewhere else.
Speaker 1: But lastly, did what happened this morning? Did Donald Trump
Speaker 1: give a ruby red prosecutor say in Georgia and outside
Speaker 1: of Atlanta, or in Florida or in Ohio, the opportunity
Speaker 1: to indict someone running for the presidency on the Democratic side,
Speaker 1: bring them to trial and species charges that make no sense,
Speaker 1: convict that Democratic candidate and take him off the ballot.
Speaker 1: Does what happened to Judge Marshawn and the failure of
Speaker 1: New York legal circles give license to red ruby red
Speaker 1: prosecutors in red states to indict the Democratic nominee, bring
Speaker 1: him the trial and bs charges, convict him, sentenced him
Speaker 1: to nothing.
Speaker 6: What do you say about that, Professor.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think the.
Speaker 3: When you look at this era of lawfair against Trump,
Speaker 3: I think one of the things that's become clear is
Speaker 3: it doesn't work good politically. And and you know, I
Speaker 3: think the real danger for anybody who's like, I'm going
Speaker 3: to do this to my political enemies is you end
Speaker 3: up making them stronger. You may you end up making
Speaker 3: them appear to be the victim of you know, malicious
Speaker 3: prosecution and political vendetics.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: And I think that, more than anything else, helped Trump
Speaker 3: restore his image, not because necessarily because of anything he did,
Speaker 3: but because of the sort of realization that you know,
Speaker 3: the system ought not work this way, so it's a
Speaker 3: bit of a farce. I think that the American people
Speaker 3: obviously have generally generally agree on that, given the results
Speaker 3: of November fourth. So you know, the danger for any
Speaker 3: Republican thinking that they should do this is, you know,
Speaker 3: is it politically it doesn't actually work.
Speaker 2: And I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, hopefully people sort of recognize
Speaker 3: that this is this is something we should put behind us.
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: On either side, I hope, But mac marian, I wish
Speaker 1: I could come back to Savior and being the class
Speaker 1: of Roger Forton and a guy named Professor Simon. The
Speaker 1: kids at Xavier are blessed to guys like you there
Speaker 1: would common sense give my best to the president and
Speaker 1: keep Hope alive. It's Miller time, and if they keep
Speaker 1: playing like this at Xavier, the crowd will be drinking
Speaker 1: lots of Miller to get out of the arena. But
Speaker 1: we got some winds ahead of us, I hope, So
Speaker 1: maybe pay freemanle more money, and that that Gisel guy
Speaker 1: you see to making six.
Speaker 4: Hundred thousand professors are willing.
Speaker 3: Professors like me are willing to take endorsements too, So
Speaker 3: if anybody wants me to get some nil money, there's
Speaker 3: no reason I can't be part.
Speaker 1: Of the nil an get some nil All right, professor,
Speaker 1: you're the best. God bless you and God blessed Savior,
Speaker 1: all for one and one for all.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you, God bless America.
Speaker 6: Let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: I'm we're in my Savior garb today to piss off
Speaker 1: everybody here, Let's continue with more on news radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW. I believe I'm the great American. Tap you
Speaker 1: with me today. So much going on, so little time.
Speaker 1: Have a text here from Tom weed Man, the weed
Speaker 1: Man of Sycamore Township, who says, let me help you
Speaker 1: with your presidential history. From twenty oh one till June fifth,
Speaker 1: twenty oh four, which is what about three years, there
Speaker 1: were five presidents alive Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and GW.
Speaker 6: Bush.
Speaker 1: Reagan passed away, reducing it to four. I asked the
Speaker 1: question now two weeks ago, but just before Jimmy Carter died,
Speaker 1: there were six presidents live. Six that's got to be
Speaker 1: an all time record. Maybe the historian will let me
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Has there ever been a time
Speaker 1: in American history where there was six living presidents alive.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but six seems like a lot.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Secondly, I want to say that
Speaker 1: Jesse Brewer and I have a call in to Jennifer
Speaker 1: Ketchmark to come on with me at two o'clock today
Speaker 1: if she's available. That Boone County, according to Jesse Brewer,
Speaker 1: who runs Boone County with an iron grip, is going
Speaker 1: to make some of his snow trucks available to the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati this afternoon and evening. He said, we
Speaker 1: can quickly clean up the roads in Boone County. They're
Speaker 1: clean already and ready to go. But if I have
Speaker 1: to have peer of All needs some help get a
Speaker 1: hold of Boone County. And that's the case in almost
Speaker 1: every democratically controlled area. In theory it makes sense and
Speaker 1: reality it doesn't work. Liberalism and DEI does not work
Speaker 1: well when reality sets in. So we want to thank
Speaker 1: Jesse Brewer of Boone County, the commissioner there an form
Speaker 1: a half to Pureval who I was told during the
Speaker 1: crisis of about a week ago he was in South
Speaker 1: Beach in Miami, sunning himself, much like Karen Bass, the
Speaker 1: mayor of La was in Africa kind of representing the
Speaker 1: US at the at the swearing inn of a Ghana president.
Speaker 1: That's where she needed to be. And some might say, well,
Speaker 1: you know what when it comes to that, she didn't
Speaker 1: know what was going to happen in the future. But
Speaker 1: the problem is this, according to my researchers, of which
Speaker 1: I have many, on Thursday of last week, eight days ago,
Speaker 1: the National Weather Service warn the strong winds and extremely
Speaker 1: dry conditions would soon threaten the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: That was on Thursday, what eight days ago, So that
Speaker 1: was a problem. And she left for Ghana on Saturday,
Speaker 1: two days later, and she stayed there for three days
Speaker 1: before she returned on Wednesday and came back because her
Speaker 1: city was literally on fire and burning. And Karen Bess's
Speaker 1: main qualification to be the mayor of Los Angeles, number one,
Speaker 1: it was a Democrat because in La San Francisco, Oakland, California,
Speaker 1: you can't find a Republican with a search warrant.
Speaker 6: It don't exist.
Speaker 1: And that the number one goal of the LA Fire Department,
Speaker 1: according to the chief, was to issue a memo that
Speaker 1: there's not there's an insufficient numbers of LGBTQ plus members
Speaker 1: in the LA Fire Department. A scribe was heard to relate,
Speaker 1: you know, whenever I call for assistance from fire or ems,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure the person's showing up to
Speaker 1: put out the fire looks like me, which I don't
Speaker 1: think is the case, but she thinks it is the case.
Speaker 1: So between DEI, which the LA Fire Department spends twenty
Speaker 1: eight million dollars a year on DEI principles, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what that has to do with fighting fires. I
Speaker 1: would assume nothing, But nonetheless, the LA Fire chief says
Speaker 1: she was super inspired bringing more women and specifically LBTQ
Speaker 1: identifying persons into fight fires, and the scribes that I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's a real comfort to those whose homes are
Speaker 1: lost that the right kind of person is not trying
Speaker 1: to put out their fire.
Speaker 6: So in most cities it is ripe.
Speaker 1: No one can fairly say that the city manager of
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati share Along would have the position
Speaker 1: if she was a married, white female. Simply wouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: She's in way over her head. Her main qualification is
Speaker 1: she filled a racial priority. She filled a DEI requirement
Speaker 1: that's how she got the job. To go a little
Speaker 1: bit deeper. In the nineteen eighty eight, state of California
Speaker 1: pass Proposition one O three, which gave the California Department
Speaker 1: of Insurance the power to approve rates or even roll
Speaker 1: back the rate increases through insurance companies. So insurance companies
Speaker 1: that want to raise rates now have to go through
Speaker 1: a regulatory process that can take about one to two
Speaker 1: years before they can raise anyone's rates, hindering their ability
Speaker 1: to adequately adjusted rates to cover losses and assess risk.
Speaker 1: So what's happening when you can't make money? What's happening
Speaker 1: when the state of California, the Islamic state of California
Speaker 1: takes over, well, the insurance companies leave the state. I
Speaker 1: saw in one of the LA channels that seventy five
Speaker 1: percent of those who've lost their homes are not insured
Speaker 1: because they couldn't get insurance because of the incapability of
Speaker 1: California to properly regulate what's happening there. Head on top
Speaker 1: of that, the general incompetence of Los Angeles, for example
Speaker 1: nine in two thousand and fourteen, the state of California,
Speaker 1: the voter said, you know, we can't take this so
Speaker 1: much anymore. We need to build a lot more reservoirs,
Speaker 1: We need to have a lot more fire control, because
Speaker 1: it's getting worse, is not getting better. So in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: they passed a new law that authorized State of California
Speaker 1: to spend approximately two two point seven billion dollars for
Speaker 1: water storage and for reservoir creation. Stave funds can be
Speaker 1: used for public benefits as well, including salm to protection, recreation,
Speaker 1: and flood control. So the good citizens in twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: passed this huge water bond ballot initiative that authorized the
Speaker 1: creation of new reservoirs and several other water infrastructure projects,
Speaker 1: including huge storage tanks and projects, and also with some
Speaker 1: concern for fish species. So since then, Gavin Newsom, the governor,
Speaker 1: about two years ago proudly proclaimed that he had destroyed
Speaker 1: four dams to allow the schmeltfish and salmon to properly spawn.
Speaker 1: That somehow these dams that create trillions and trillions and
Speaker 1: gallons of water were affecting the schmelt population. As a consequence,
Speaker 1: he out of news conference saying he's going to continue
Speaker 1: to listen to the voters. As of twenty fourteen, but
Speaker 1: none the les. It gives them the authority to have
Speaker 1: salmon fish, recreational and flood control. Also, and by the way,
Speaker 1: dams are the main reason to have reservoirs is that
Speaker 1: you have unlimited supplies of water and also you have
Speaker 1: ability for drinking water, et cetera. Like in the Ohio
Speaker 1: River right now, there's dams here, there and everywhere. The
Speaker 1: pool stage is about twenty six feet. We have plenty
Speaker 1: of fresh water right there whenever we need it. But
Speaker 1: not in California. The California DEI government wants to eliminate dams,
Speaker 1: ignore the will of the voters, and not have the
Speaker 1: ability to have pottable drinking water and also put out
Speaker 1: fires because it doesn't fit DEI goals and principles. Because
Speaker 1: of the shmeltfish, it keeps them from spawning. So now
Speaker 1: here we sit now and they've run out of water.
Speaker 1: They do not have drinking water in Los Angeles largely,
Speaker 1: and they do not have the ability to fight fires.
Speaker 1: Because DEI principles have taken over California. One can only
Speaker 1: ask have they had enough? Will this change the politics
Speaker 1: of California? I say probably not. Has it changed the
Speaker 1: politics in New York City, where passengers on subway trains
Speaker 1: are set on fire, women are raped, and the murder
Speaker 1: rate's gone up sixty percent in the last three years.
Speaker 1: I don't think so in Chicago, that's largely a destroyed
Speaker 1: city in which no one's joining the police department or
Speaker 1: fire department. Not Downtown businesses are fleeing in droves, and
Speaker 1: it's impossible to get a have a meal downtown anymore
Speaker 1: because of homelessness. The water Tower, fabulous indoor shopping center
Speaker 1: is gone out of business because customers flee with their feet,
Speaker 1: which is the rider trucks only go one direction out
Speaker 1: of California, and so instead of dealing with important stuff
Speaker 1: such as drinking water in an area that's largely a desert.
Speaker 1: Most of California is a desert, but the northern part
Speaker 1: has plenty, plenty of water. In fact, trillions and trillions
Speaker 1: and gallons of water fall in northern California every year.
Speaker 1: Instead of having the ability to have these huge storage
Speaker 1: deposts for water and also reservoirs, they don't do that
Speaker 1: because of the shmeltfish. Now they're running out of water.
Speaker 1: And of course Barbara Streissan has piped up this is
Speaker 1: all about climate change. Well, for twelve of the last
Speaker 1: sixteen years, the Democrats have controlled the presidency, and for
Speaker 1: the last quarter of a century, the Democrats have controlled
Speaker 1: the state of California politically every which way. So if
Speaker 1: after all this whatever they define climate changes being in
Speaker 1: the mitigation they'reof, if this is the result of their
Speaker 1: dominance in the state of California when I'm watching now
Speaker 1: on cable, if that is the result of democratic policies
Speaker 1: whatever they are, go in other direction. Don't keep doing
Speaker 1: the same thing anticipating a different result. So instead of DEI,
Speaker 1: how about dealing with storage tanks, instead of affirmative action
Speaker 1: and hiring quotas, how about dealing with reservoirs and dams
Speaker 1: that will allow Californians to have unlimit in access to water,
Speaker 1: which they should have. There's trillions and trillions and trillions
Speaker 1: and gallons of water dumped into the Pacific Ocean every
Speaker 1: year because California has stopped the ability to save these
Speaker 1: resources for something exactly like this, And it's sick and
Speaker 1: it's sad, and it continues. I predict nothing will change
Speaker 1: because I don't know. I can't think of any major
Speaker 1: Democratic city controlled by the liberal Democrats and DEI principles
Speaker 1: over the past half century that have gone from democratic
Speaker 1: rule to a republican rule. In fact, the opposite's taken place.
Speaker 1: Can you think of any democratic city in the top
Speaker 1: twenty or thirty in Cincinnati's rank, like thirty fifth, say,
Speaker 1: in the top forty, other than Miami Dade County, which
Speaker 1: is unified government. That's gone, Okay, we can't take this anymore.
Speaker 1: We can't live like this. The schools are completely dysfunctional.
Speaker 1: Hew CPS has been closed every day but one this week.
Speaker 1: They don't open anytime soon. Their product coming out of
Speaker 1: CPS absent Walnut is ridiculous. Not able to read the diploma.
Speaker 1: There's no failing of any grade. You simply are passed along.
Speaker 1: Behavior is awful. Seventy percent of the black boys are
Speaker 1: chronically absent. Overall, forty eight percent of the student population
Speaker 1: is chronically absent. On any one day, just pick one day.
Speaker 1: Schools in session, twenty five percent of the teachers don't
Speaker 1: show up.
Speaker 6: It is an absolute meltdown. Is there any change?
Speaker 1: Does anyone saying okay for the last twenty thirty forty years,
Speaker 1: we can't take this anymore. It doesn't work. Do the
Speaker 1: voter say, no, I'm voting out all these Democrats. Obviously
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing, because if they've known
Speaker 1: what they're doing, they would have done it. I want
Speaker 1: to get different people in there. When Liz Keating haven't
Speaker 1: been elected. Once the Cincinnati City Council ran again, she
Speaker 1: finished tenth in a nine field race, well financed, had
Speaker 1: been elected, great political name, Liz Keating couldn't win a
Speaker 1: damn thing in the city of Cincinnati, and two or
Speaker 1: three clowns were elected in her place. Is there any
Speaker 1: apprehension we're on the wrong path. No, No, So that's
Speaker 1: where we are because Cincinnati, Yes, we could have something
Speaker 1: like more floods coming, it's possible, or tornadoes.
Speaker 6: It's possible.
Speaker 1: And I'm very confident that outside of Hamilton County, the
Speaker 1: other counties can adequately deal with it in the right fashion.
Speaker 1: I have no confidence in Hamilton County's last city, of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: to do anything right when it comes to law enforcement,
Speaker 1: or a public school system, or responding to an emergency.
Speaker 1: It's simply is not built that way. They don't care,
Speaker 1: And if the voters don't care, why should you? And
Speaker 1: I care? If they don't care. And I live in
Speaker 1: Hamlin County. We have two or three pretty good damned Democrats.
Speaker 1: They're good Democrats who are in public office, but the
Speaker 1: great majority are dysfunctional and they don't have to live
Speaker 1: like this. But I'm waiting for the example of whether
Speaker 1: it's New Yorkshire care. How about Oakland? The NAACP and
Speaker 1: Oakland said we can't take it anymore. We need law enforcement.
Speaker 1: Robberies and burglaries happening, car break ins. No one's ever arrested.
Speaker 1: You can steal up to one thousand dollars in Oakland
Speaker 1: or run out of the store with it and nothing happens.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think you're kind of a fool to pay.
Speaker 1: And this comes from the NAACP in Oakland. And so
Speaker 1: California right now has a special assession of the Legislature
Speaker 1: and Sacramento to deal with one thing. Now you would
Speaker 1: think it would be the fires. Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 1: We have serious problems. No, it's about funding the programs
Speaker 1: to obliterate and or confront Donald Trump and his immigration ideas.
Speaker 1: So the Legislature and Sacramento meeting Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Speaker 1: then again today are dealing with funding programs to stop
Speaker 1: Donald Trump enforcing federal law in the state of California
Speaker 1: with no reference to the fires happening. God helps those
Speaker 1: who help themselves, and I couldn't care less who comes
Speaker 1: to put out a fire in my home. I don't
Speaker 1: want them to look like me. I don't care what
Speaker 1: they look like. This to your damn job should be
Speaker 1: a meritocracy. And on that front, we have a sheriff,
Speaker 1: Charmaine McGuffey, who earned her way to become the Sheriff
Speaker 1: of Hamlin County.
Speaker 6: She worked in the.
Speaker 1: Sheriff's department for thirty years, beginning as a low level
Speaker 1: CEO in the old workhouse, and after thirty years of
Speaker 1: working as a sheriff, we elected her to be the sheriff.
Speaker 1: That is the model of what should happen in democratically
Speaker 1: controlled cities and counties, because she knew where the bodies
Speaker 1: were buried all over Hamlin County and she worked at
Speaker 1: it for thirty years, going from a corporal, going from
Speaker 1: a CEO to a corporal, to a sergeant, to a lieutenant,
Speaker 1: to a captain to a commander. Now the sheriff. I
Speaker 1: couldn't care less about her sexual predilections, she's competent meritocracy. Well,
Speaker 1: a look at what's happening around the world, especially here
Speaker 1: in America.
Speaker 6: That is not the case.
Speaker 1: She's not the rule, she's the exception when it comes
Speaker 1: to democrats who are competent. Charmaine McGuffey was endorsed by
Speaker 1: me and also by Sheriff Simon Lease. Do you think
Speaker 1: side Lease knows what it takes to run the sheriff's department? Well,
Speaker 1: he wanted Charmaine McGuffey to be the sheriff enough said
Speaker 1: let's continue.
Speaker 6: It's kind of said, what's.
Speaker 1: Happening to our our major, magnificent, opulent cities, the envy
Speaker 1: of the world have fallen down in the disrepair and
Speaker 1: disrepute and they're not going to recover anytime soon. How
Speaker 1: long will it take New York City to recover? Or
Speaker 1: Atlanta or Washington, d C. How long will it take
Speaker 1: Houston or Chicago, Oakland, Spokane, Washington?
Speaker 6: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Until the voters themselves say, you know what, we can't
Speaker 1: take this anymore, it's wrong. Until that changes. God helps
Speaker 1: those who help themselves. And lastly, I'll say this that
Speaker 1: we have a circumstance where it appears that one political party.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Democrats wanted to conduct lawfare again as
Speaker 1: the leader of the opposite political party. And this morning
Speaker 1: it blew up in its face because most Americans understood
Speaker 1: from the beginning that the actions in New York City
Speaker 1: and Atlanta and jack Smith were politically driven not by
Speaker 1: crime and victims, but rather by politics to put the
Speaker 1: scarlet letter f felon on the head of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and it backfired magnificently. As Professor mcmarnie just said that
Speaker 1: at backfired Artum, I don't want Republicans going after a
Speaker 1: Democrat candidate because of politics any more than the opposite
Speaker 1: that took place. That's where we are. Well, let's continue
Speaker 1: with more after one o'clock today, I have Dan Schneider
Speaker 1: here from the Media Research Center about what's happening in
Speaker 1: California and what's happening to Donald Trump. What's happening all
Speaker 1: over the place, and that is the collapse of our major,
Speaker 1: magnificent cities because of policies implemented by the modern Democratic
Speaker 1: Party and the nineteen thirties, forties, and fifties, the Democrats
Speaker 1: in the South wiped out the civil rights of black folks.
Speaker 1: It took the Republicans to come to save them. Here
Speaker 1: we are today, and the Democrats and major cities and
Speaker 1: the state of California want to wipe out federal law
Speaker 1: inside their jurisdiction, just like the Democratic counterparts did over
Speaker 1: the last one hundred years. They want to ignore immigration
Speaker 1: laws in their state because it's not politically convenient to
Speaker 1: enforce federal law. Well, I'm sorry, that's not the way
Speaker 1: things are built. The Democrats were told for one hundred years,
Speaker 1: you can't treat black folks like that anymore. They got
Speaker 1: to have the right to vote, to buy homes, to
Speaker 1: live freely, and the Democrats said, no, they're chattel slaves.
Speaker 1: And we eventually won the court system many times took
Speaker 1: over parts of the South when the Democrats were in
Speaker 1: charge and said you can't do that to black citizens.
Speaker 1: Here we are one hundred years later, and the same
Speaker 1: thing is happening that Democrats and major cities want who
Speaker 1: ignore federal law, they do it now with Trump in
Speaker 1: charge at their peril. Twelve to fifty five Home a Year,
Speaker 1: Reds and Bengals and more. News Radio seven hundred WW
Speaker 1: Bill cunning in the Great America of course, economically, we
Speaker 1: look for a revitalization when Trump takes office on January
Speaker 1: the twentieth.
Speaker 6: It's going to be a slow haul.
Speaker 1: But one of the great concerns many Americans have and
Speaker 1: many economists have, is something called bricks. Now you may
Speaker 1: think bricks are something you put on the house, but
Speaker 1: bricks refers to a loose organization of five or six
Speaker 1: great economies Brazil and Russia, India, China, and South Africa,
Speaker 1: and more indicative willingness to join. And this would be
Speaker 1: like a second alternative source of economic strength around the world.
Speaker 1: And it would mean that the American dollar would not
Speaker 1: be a reserve currency, which is a really big deal.
Speaker 1: Joining you and I now is Kristin Briggs is the
Speaker 1: CEO of Hard Asset Management. Kristin Briggs, welcome, I think
Speaker 1: for the first time to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
Speaker 1: first of all that I set it up correctly that bricks,
Speaker 1: especially with China being involved with Brazil and Russia, India,
Speaker 1: South Africa, is a mortal danger to the economic health
Speaker 1: of the United States of America.
Speaker 2: It's exactly right, and you pose a really good point here.
Speaker 2: Bricks is trying to undermine the financial stability the United States.
Speaker 2: If it wasn't such a problem, and if it wasn't
Speaker 2: literally on the top of Trump's list, he would not
Speaker 2: have come out in swinging on this one. Instead one
Speaker 2: hundred percent tariffs on anybody who undermines the US dollar
Speaker 2: and puts it as second class citizen. The thing that
Speaker 2: you've got to realize is of the original five countries,
Speaker 2: which have strong economics in their own right, but together
Speaker 2: the bricks nations now, which are about seventeen countries from
Speaker 2: the original two thousand and nine at the gate to today.
Speaker 2: The biggest change, I would say was the UAE United
Speaker 2: Arab Emirates joined, which is seven countries Abu Dhabi and
Speaker 2: Dubai and so forth, has a lot of oil impact.
Speaker 2: Iran now part of bricks. So what you've got here
Speaker 2: as a coalition of countries that have right now together
Speaker 2: a forty percent bigger GDP than the G seven. When
Speaker 2: you take out the six countries of the G seven,
Speaker 2: let the United States be standalone, they're over double our GDP.
Speaker 2: So Trump knows that it's not just an issue with
Speaker 2: the reserve currency status, it's a national security issue. In fact,
Speaker 2: in a recent conversation, I have with one of the
Speaker 2: leading House members. Chairman of one of the committees is
Speaker 2: point Plank, which he's going to have dinner with Trump
Speaker 2: this weekend. Said, if there's any one thing that you
Speaker 2: can destabilize a country, destroy the currency, and then there's
Speaker 2: nothing left in the country, because that is the bedrock
Speaker 2: of the financial system. Bricks have made no bones about it.
Speaker 2: Their goal is to undermine debate and decouple the dollar
Speaker 2: from oil and commodity trading as fast as they can,
Speaker 2: so that way our interest rates will skyrocket because no
Speaker 2: one will buy our debts. Why well, the debt's based
Speaker 2: in dollars. Look what's happening over the last year. So
Speaker 2: it's not inflation that's always running up these rates. It's
Speaker 2: the unwillingness of countries right now to buy our debt.
Speaker 2: That's your problem. And that's what Bridge is trying to do.
Speaker 1: Explain reserve currency, My producer may not fully understand it, though.
Speaker 1: If the world trade is funded and fueled and layered
Speaker 1: with the US dollar, the US dollar has great value. If,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, some other currency like the wand
Speaker 1: from China is going to be the reserve currency, then
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. Big trouble. In fact, we've done a
Speaker 1: lot of this to ourselves because of our debt and deficit.
Speaker 1: But explain to the American people what is reserve currency
Speaker 1: and how does that impact someone living in ames Iowa?
Speaker 2: Well? Good, Well, like you said, Iowa, I have relatives
Speaker 2: and aims as well as all in Iowa. So that's good, yeah,
Speaker 2: all of Iowa. Well, let's talk about what reserve currency means.
Speaker 2: First of all, when a country determines its asset base
Speaker 2: or asset classes, it's going to have a number of
Speaker 2: fundamentals things is going to strategically put in gold, silver, oil,
Speaker 2: and currency, currency being the liquid portion of all of those, Okay,
Speaker 2: the most liquid. So when you look at reserve currency,
Speaker 2: we are now from nineteen forty six, when ninety percent
Speaker 2: of the world transacted only in dollars and it was
Speaker 2: the number one reserve currency. Let me tell you where
Speaker 2: we're at today. We are now number six. In reserve
Speaker 2: asset we're number one, but we've dropped from ninety percent
Speaker 2: to forty nine percent. In daily transactions with the dollar,
Speaker 2: we're still number one because since nineteen forty six, there
Speaker 2: is a plethora of localized currencies out there that have
Speaker 2: subsequently been made to be their their number one go
Speaker 2: to sales transactional asset, which you know people think, oh,
Speaker 2: it's going to be crypto one day, it will not
Speaker 2: be crypto like in the sense what we have today.
Speaker 2: It's going to always be a localized currency, whether it's
Speaker 2: digital or in paper form. What we're looking at is
Speaker 2: losing the number one position in daily transactions. If we
Speaker 2: lose that, that means demand is shifting to other currencies,
Speaker 2: which it has since nineteen forty. The scary thing is,
Speaker 2: and Trump knows this is the number one national security riscue.
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, it's number one with him right now.
Speaker 2: Because here's what the bricks represent. The bricks have two purposes.
Speaker 2: One's a coalition to bring financial instability to the United States,
Speaker 2: to create doubts so people stop buying the debt, people
Speaker 2: short the debt, or all together. They just eliminate the
Speaker 2: use of the dollar. That's the goal. Now in some
Speaker 2: degree that's already happened, or we would still get that
Speaker 2: ninety percentile from nineteen forty six. The second thing they're
Speaker 2: doing is military strategically located basis. This is the reason
Speaker 2: why number of years ago Trump set China represents the
Speaker 2: greatest risk, and the Bricks part of it because China
Speaker 2: is now moving on Greenland and they're moving just like
Speaker 2: they did the Soviet Union in the early sixties with
Speaker 2: Khrushchev and putting missiles in Cuba. Greenland represents it basically,
Speaker 2: it's an aircraft carrier. Look at Puerto Rico, it's an
Speaker 2: aircraft carrier. Hawaiian islands. These are strategic locations to put
Speaker 2: in military operations. Panama Canal. Why is he so worried
Speaker 2: about that, Well, because China, which is part of the Bricks,
Speaker 2: which is intend to do to undermine the dollar, undermin military,
Speaker 2: is now controlling Panama in violation of the treaty when
Speaker 2: Carters let Panama have the Panama Canal back. So now
Speaker 2: he's having to fight four fronts. He still has Ukraine
Speaker 2: in Russia, which rushes part of Bricks. He still has Hesbala,
Speaker 2: Israel and Iran. Iran is part of Bricks. He's still
Speaker 2: got the Panama Canal with China, and China is also
Speaker 2: interfering in Greenland, which is part of Bricks, which is
Speaker 2: the founding member. So when he says Bricks is the
Speaker 2: biggest threat, to the national security of the United States.
Speaker 2: Trump is right. He's always going to be proven right,
Speaker 2: whether it's the next day, the next year, or the
Speaker 2: next decade. The guy's as smart as a we have
Speaker 2: look at the sun as that one hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: IQ good looking kid Baron So and all his kids
Speaker 2: are smart because it comes from a good stock. Trump
Speaker 2: knows what he's talking about. Now, in order to defeat
Speaker 2: the bricks, he's gonna have to do one thing. In
Speaker 2: my company, we analyze things every day in real time,
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven. We never go to sleep. There's
Speaker 2: always people working around the clock to manage hard assets
Speaker 2: for individuals. Well, that's how Trump's going to have to
Speaker 2: manage bricks. In order to defeat the bricks, he can't
Speaker 2: go head to head. He's gonna have to find the
Speaker 2: cracks within the membership. And I think that's what's gonna happen,
Speaker 2: is he's going to go to the weakest links, cut deals,
Speaker 2: strategic deals, not just willing nearly throw a grenade and
Speaker 2: see what happens and where the casualties are, but more tactical,
Speaker 2: more surgical. I think we'll do is and this is
Speaker 2: what I would do and he's a smart guy, so
Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to relate to this, find
Speaker 2: the weakest link within an organization that you need to dismantle,
Speaker 2: subdivide that by taking a few pieces off to make
Speaker 2: the whole weaker than what was originally started. And next thing,
Speaker 2: you know, the rest will follow suit. They'll want to
Speaker 2: cut deals, they'll want to say, Okay, we're back on
Speaker 2: the dollar, We're gonna go ahead and business with you,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden that Bricks will be weakened
Speaker 2: enough to where it may actually be dismantled. Possibly not.
Speaker 2: Dismantling is a big word, and they're very unified, but
Speaker 2: there is definitely cracks. There's definitely some confusion ye within
Speaker 2: the Bricks memberships because why you've got a warrior now
Speaker 2: in the White House. You don't have a dementia patient.
Speaker 2: You've got a warrior. Right, They don't like warriors. Why will?
Speaker 2: Warriors are tough, Warriors will push back, Warors will hit back.
Speaker 2: That's what Trump is. He's a warrior.
Speaker 1: And so the most important thing he can do is
Speaker 1: maybe it's Brazil, maybe it's India, the largest country on Earth,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's the UAE. Because of their fear of
Speaker 1: what's happening in Iran. You can pick off two, three
Speaker 1: or four of them to go back on the dollar,
Speaker 1: and right now the one the Chinese and ten for
Speaker 1: the wand to become the reserve currency. And these nations
Speaker 1: together have a much bigger GDP than the US, but
Speaker 1: they don't have the same military power, and you can
Speaker 1: grab them by the coyones, especially the UAE. So that
Speaker 1: means when UAE or Saudi Arabia trades with a pole
Speaker 1: in Germany, you need some currency, and that has been
Speaker 1: the reserve currency.
Speaker 6: Right now it is not.
Speaker 1: And because there was such fecklessness the past four years
Speaker 1: that the Bricks and these other seventeen nations got together
Speaker 1: to use a different currency than the dollar, which will
Speaker 1: trash the American economy.
Speaker 6: Wouldn't it make us look like.
Speaker 1: A great depression again in America If economically the rest
Speaker 1: of the world would use the wand as the reserve
Speaker 1: currency where goods are exchanged instead of the dollar, wouldn't
Speaker 1: that be an unmitigated disaster for US?
Speaker 2: If that happens, the US would have twenty five percent
Speaker 2: interest rates, overnight mortgages would be fifteen to twenty percent
Speaker 2: Real estate would drop by fifty percent in a second.
Speaker 2: Because here's the problem, and you're right, You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: The digital u won right now is about eighteen percent
Speaker 2: of the world's turns out, whether it's paper or whether
Speaker 2: it's digital. About eighteen percent of the world transactions are
Speaker 2: now through the bricks. China obviously representing so many population
Speaker 2: of the whole world of the planet, that gives it
Speaker 2: some kind of a little stewed their direction, a little
Speaker 2: bit more of a bias. But it doesn't matter. There's
Speaker 2: still people, they're still transacting. So if we lose this
Speaker 2: reserve status, and we are on the verge of losing it,
Speaker 2: we're down to under fifty percent. We're in the forty
Speaker 2: nine percentile again, down from ninety percent and forty six.
Speaker 2: But what you said was profound, he said something very good.
Speaker 2: If the digital U want continues its current growth rate,
Speaker 2: which is exponentially moving very rapidly around the world, especially
Speaker 2: in wherever China has built massive infrastructure deals. The way
Speaker 2: China started to move quickly once they joined the World
Speaker 2: Trade Organization, they were able to move with more efficiency
Speaker 2: at a much rapid pace to be able to get
Speaker 2: money into infrastructure deals within countries by giving them two
Speaker 2: billion dollar loans. They own the country, They basically seize
Speaker 2: the assets. If you can't pay the loan back, don't
Speaker 2: worry about it. We're your new government. You'll do all
Speaker 2: of these things. That's what happened in Panama, happened throughout
Speaker 2: South America, It's happened all over Africa. See Schishi Ping
Speaker 2: comes from a long line of leaders whose ultimate goal
Speaker 2: was to create supremacy, both in a financial status in
Speaker 2: a military status. And this was back to the eighteen
Speaker 2: fifty occupation of the British in Hong Kong. They said
Speaker 2: they would never allow that to happen again, and they
Speaker 2: haven't in that sense. So if the digital U want
Speaker 2: continues at its current pace of growth, and it is
Speaker 2: substantial pace of growth, which I think we can slow
Speaker 2: it down. The hard part is going to be eliminating it,
Speaker 2: which could be next to impossible. But slow it down
Speaker 2: and put it almost in a quarantine in a box
Speaker 2: to limit its growth or limit its what I consider
Speaker 2: to be the octopus right, it's tentacles to go to
Speaker 2: the far reaches of the world, bring back Greenland because
Speaker 2: it's a strategic place. China wants a military base there
Speaker 2: because then they can leverage that against the US. They
Speaker 2: did it in the South Sea when they built those islands,
Speaker 2: which was against all international treaties. It was the closest
Speaker 2: they could get to the Hawaiian Islands, which again as
Speaker 2: an aircraft carrier for anybody who has military ideology. And
Speaker 2: the last part, again going back to your question, I'll
Speaker 2: give you an answer at full circle. We are going
Speaker 2: to move from paper currency to digital currency within the
Speaker 2: next three to five years. There's no way around it.
Speaker 2: The debt is so bad that mathematically, at the rate
Speaker 2: it's currently being I call it built. Okay, I don't
Speaker 2: know how much you want to say it, but the
Speaker 2: debt's getting built bigger and bigger every day that by
Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine we're in default mode. There's just not
Speaker 2: enough revenues by the government. You can't tax out of it,
Speaker 2: and you certainly can't create more manifaction jobs enough to
Speaker 2: eliminate the debt, and the bricks are playing off that.
Speaker 2: That's why Elon Musk came out today and said there's
Speaker 2: no way to cut two tillion dollars from the federal budget.
Speaker 2: You can't do it. We all knew he could two
Speaker 2: hundred billion a year would be catastrophe almost with the GDP.
Speaker 2: So Trump's going to have to go in there and
Speaker 2: cut deals and divide the bricks in order to save
Speaker 2: the United States Stah.
Speaker 1: You know, the media in this country simply want to
Speaker 1: attack Donald Trump. They kind of snicker and laugh about Greenland,
Speaker 1: about Panama Canal. The Panama Canal is managed by the
Speaker 1: communist Red Chinese, and when pavements can't be made, they'll
Speaker 1: take over the canal. And they're the one managing it
Speaker 1: right now. They have a multi billion dollar port they
Speaker 1: put in Peru in Peru, for God's sakes, and Greenland
Speaker 1: is being encircled by the Chinese. Whenever media reports on
Speaker 1: Trump wanting to take control directly or indirectly of Greenland,
Speaker 1: they just laugh and snicker at the guy. And by
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine, at the rate of borrowing a trillion
Speaker 1: dollars every one hundred days, we do not have the economy,
Speaker 1: do not have the money to keep borrowing money without
Speaker 1: greatly higher interest rates. And when those around the world
Speaker 1: quit buying our debt, we're out of business, in which
Speaker 1: case the value of assets we own and we've cut
Speaker 1: in half and it will take twenty five to thirty
Speaker 1: percent to buy a house, in which case the economy crashes,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Red China wants. They want America
Speaker 1: to economically collapse. They were banking on Kamala Harris continuing
Speaker 1: this same policies for the next four to eight years.
Speaker 1: And Trump's gonna have to be the one to make
Speaker 1: the case that we can't continue in this route. If
Speaker 1: we do, the country's over with because if a currency
Speaker 1: is worthless, assets are worthless, in which case the lines
Speaker 1: form in front of Kroger stores and we're done. Do
Speaker 1: I have that correct?
Speaker 2: As correct and clear as crystal. You say it exactly.
Speaker 2: If the dollars undermine, nobody buys, the debt rate spike,
Speaker 2: everything goes south, everything with the exception of hard assets.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a point there are two things that
Speaker 2: are the most clearest barometers of economics. No matter what
Speaker 2: it is, no matter what the numbers are in the economy,
Speaker 2: no matter who runs the state, whether it's Russia, whether
Speaker 2: it's the United States and Canada, it doesn't matter. The
Speaker 2: two barometers you need to focus on are follows. Interest
Speaker 2: rates in bonds. Okay, that's kind of snymis with each other,
Speaker 2: and rates are going up, bonds are going down, treasuries
Speaker 2: because nobody wants the debt. It's not just inflation, it's
Speaker 2: also fear. It's fear then, and the other thing is gold.
Speaker 2: See gold goes up twelve to eighteen months prior to
Speaker 2: a catastrophic event. It's done it every single time since
Speaker 2: every cycle since eighteen eighty four. Okay, literally since eighteen
Speaker 2: eighty four. So when you see them move in gold,
Speaker 2: it always comes before when you see them move in bonds.
Speaker 2: In this case, we've got fear of the debt, of
Speaker 2: the underlying value of the dollar, and normally bonds would
Speaker 2: be going up because of a safe haven. Equity is
Speaker 2: going down. So we know that the bonds are in trouble,
Speaker 2: equities are in trouble, and we certainly know that gold
Speaker 2: is forecasting a tremendous downturn that's coming soon. Because the numbers.
Speaker 2: Math is math. Okay, people lie, Math doesn't and that's
Speaker 2: the way it is. So we need to look at this.
Speaker 2: And yes, China is playing off this. There was a
Speaker 2: gentleman that I had the prosure of meeting in China
Speaker 2: doing business over there. Number of years ago, and he
Speaker 2: always said, he said, we always try to capitalize on
Speaker 2: the weakness of the and this is a tradition for
Speaker 2: China for thousand years, and Sun Sue said it. Actually,
Speaker 2: so what they're doing now is they're trying to expand
Speaker 2: accelerate because we're at a weak point economics, even with
Speaker 2: Trump coming in. Look at the debt. Look at the debt.
Speaker 2: How are you going to pay back thirty seven trillion
Speaker 2: dollars when the revenues of the United States.
Speaker 5: You can't.
Speaker 2: It's forty a half trillion. You can't do it. It's impossible.
Speaker 2: The chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Congress and
Speaker 2: Warren Davidson, who's incredibly a smart friend, very student about
Speaker 2: this stuff. Yeah, well, him and I have done some
Speaker 2: talks together and we've done some a couple of presentations,
Speaker 2: and we both concurred, you cannot pay the debt down.
Speaker 2: And China knows this, and they're dumping all their treasuries.
Speaker 2: Think about this in twenty ten seconds. Thirty seconds, Chris,
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. All right, ready for this. But twenty ten
Speaker 2: they had four trillion dollars worth of treasuries. You know
Speaker 2: they got today four hundred billion. They've reduced it by
Speaker 2: ninety percent. Why they put it all in gold period.
Speaker 1: Christian, Let's keep saying on the bell before it's too late,
Speaker 1: because twenty twenty nine is as close to us now
Speaker 1: as twenty twenty one. It's right around the corner. And
Speaker 1: Christian Briggs, you're great about this. The fate of bricks
Speaker 1: and Trump is the guy we have right now to
Speaker 1: save this country. Christian Briggs, thanks again for coming on
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show, CEO of Hard Asset Management. Let's
Speaker 1: make sure we do it again. Thank you, Christian. All right,

Speaker 7: I don't ever want to take attention away from the team.
Speaker 7: It is an honor and I hope all coaches minorities Asian,
Speaker 7: why then matter? Great people continue to get opportunities to
Speaker 7: lead young men like this.
Speaker 4: But this ain't about me.
Speaker 7: This is about us, and we're going to celebrate what
Speaker 7: we've done because it's some special.
Speaker 6: Hello.
Speaker 2: Yet I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: All right, segment of ESPN trying to bait Marcus Freeman
Speaker 1: and some sort of racial thing, which is a bunch
Speaker 1: of crap, like the way he turned it away. First
Speaker 1: of all, give me your reaction to Marcus Freeman's response,
Speaker 1: which I think was fabulous. You might know segment his
Speaker 1: mother is Asian, for example, much like Tiger Woods.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean it's come on, I mean, you know, whatever, whatever,
Speaker 4: it doesn't make any difference. It just dropped. He's a
Speaker 4: great coach, doesn't matter if the green, yellow, white, what black, whatever,
Speaker 4: It's just it's it's too much these days. It's getting
Speaker 4: too much these days. The guy, the guy's reveling in
Speaker 4: a great victory. It was a hell of a game
Speaker 4: last night. Came down to seven seconds to know that
Speaker 4: they impulsed it out and that question comes up, I
Speaker 4: would have walked away.
Speaker 1: Wants to make everything racial or sexual. Are you are
Speaker 1: you gay or the first lesbian?
Speaker 4: Whatever?
Speaker 6: You're black?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: I don't think the guy.
Speaker 4: He's a great football coach. He's leading the Irish or
Speaker 4: a champion, a national championship likely. I mean, you know
Speaker 4: what I don't. I don't get it. I just don't
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 1: Never miss an opportunity to advance the political agenda that
Speaker 1: divides the American people. That's ESPN's message segment, Give me
Speaker 1: some sports and make it fast.
Speaker 6: So many things are going on segment.
Speaker 4: Will you be the shuge report right here in Middletown

Speaker 4: Jim Mark Jason made the first or the first Bengals
Speaker 4: to be named Amy Pen First Team All Pros. Andrew Big,
Speaker 4: Andrew Whitworth, you know you know Atkins. At twenty fifteen,
Speaker 4: quarterback Joe Burrow did not make utter the first or
Speaker 4: second team.
Speaker 6: Who made first team quarterback?
Speaker 4: Was it Allen or Lamar Jackson and the second team
Speaker 4: was Jock Allen.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know, I believe statistically Joe Burrow has
Speaker 1: better stats, but those other two teams are in the
Speaker 1: playoffs and that's the difference.
Speaker 4: Bingo, that's that's the truth. How about this? Reports? Are
Speaker 4: the Browns quarterback to Sewan Watson rusted his achilles again.
Speaker 4: Further testing showed he had surgery yesterday to repair it.
Speaker 4: He advince all of the twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: Steam twenty twenty five is gone.
Speaker 4: Are you talking about him?
Speaker 2: Ben?
Speaker 1: That's a met Well, I would think sometimes the Bengals
Speaker 1: have difficulties. Then I look at the Browns, look at
Speaker 1: the Jets, look at the Giants, and I'm thinking, maybe
Speaker 1: we don't have difficulties. I would not want to be
Speaker 1: a Browns fan or a Jets fan or a Giants fan,
Speaker 1: for God's sakes.
Speaker 4: And you know what, they got to pay him, right,
Speaker 4: I mean they can't. I mean whatever, its lunch on
Speaker 4: the contract they got to pay him.
Speaker 6: Did he tear the same achilles?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I didn't say he said he rested it.
Speaker 4: I guess it's the same warden against working out or
Speaker 4: goodness does what he's doing and uh he they repaired it.
Speaker 4: Now he's going to be out. He may invent the
Speaker 4: entire season.
Speaker 6: On the recovery now.
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns announced that Deshaun Watson underwent surgery Thursday
Speaker 1: yesterday after telling his right achilles again. Watson's recovery time
Speaker 1: should include the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 6: He's due.
Speaker 1: Uh, he's due ninety five million dollars. More so he's
Speaker 1: got one more year. How about this, I'm meing be
Speaker 1: more specific. He has a guaranteed two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: million dollars deal signed before the twenty twenty two season.
Speaker 1: The Browns oh Watson forty six million in each of
Speaker 1: the next two was ninety two million dollars and then
Speaker 1: they're off the hook. So they got to pay him
Speaker 1: ninety two million dollars in twenty five and twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: So he's got ninety two million coming his way. But
Speaker 1: he could earn some bonuses. That's unlikely.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what will he that repairing his
Speaker 4: achilles ten? Then they better do it in fourteen pre

Speaker 6: How about that? I have a report out of Cleveland.
Speaker 1: A young reporter named Tom Ashmore relates that Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: did you know how he heard his achilles the second time?
Speaker 1: It says here he fell off the massage table. Is
Speaker 1: that correct?
Speaker 4: I you know what, Willie wouldn't It wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 4: at all. He back to his old tricks again.

Speaker 4: just just pay him off and get me and see
Speaker 4: you later, you know, I mean just I mean, whoever
Speaker 4: came up with that contract? An idiot in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Well you have to go to I guess Jimmy Haslam,
Speaker 1: the owner is a guy that's got to sign off
Speaker 1: on I mean on paper.
Speaker 6: He was coming off all the suspensions. He was pretty
Speaker 6: damn good.
Speaker 1: When he started Clemson national title and I thought okay,
Speaker 1: And they were in competition to other teams, and I
Speaker 1: was thought, okay, Cleveland finally has its quarterback. They have
Speaker 1: a good defense, pretty good running attack with Chubb, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Let's get the quarterback and away we go. Well, guess
Speaker 1: what something else happened. Deshaun Watson can't play quarterback. He's
Speaker 1: got the lowest qbr qb R in the NFL. Before
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Then he got hurt, then he got worse.
Speaker 4: You could you could be quarterback for the Browns for a.
Speaker 6: Lot less money.
Speaker 4: How about this Scoop Super Scooper plane is grounded in
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles trying to uh cool, trying to get
Speaker 4: rid of these fires. It's grounded because it hit a
Speaker 4: civilian drone.
Speaker 5: What yeah, what else?
Speaker 4: It hit a drone? This Super Scooper plan. I guess
Speaker 4: it's uh here out of Canada or something. Grounded after
Speaker 4: hitting a civilian drone and there's like a it's one
Speaker 4: of the tanks is like a big hole in it
Speaker 4: the water. You know what I think we I'll just
Speaker 4: give up.
Speaker 6: Give up, Santa hell with it. Why would you live
Speaker 6: in California.
Speaker 4: And then you're you're an expert lawyer, Willie. I've never
Speaker 4: heard what happened to the Trumpster to pay. Of course,
Speaker 4: he let him have it pretty good when he was
Speaker 4: talking from our a lago. But what is that that?
Speaker 4: I mean, they basically said he's guilt. I mean, is
Speaker 4: he not guilt? What did they say? Again, I've never
Speaker 4: heard of that before.
Speaker 1: Like what he goes unconditional release? Unconditional That means, uh,
Speaker 1: there's no conditions. You're free to go, no probation, no
Speaker 1: time in writers, no time on restitution, There'll be no fine.
Speaker 6: You are guilty.
Speaker 1: However, there's an unconditional release, free and sin no more.
Speaker 1: You're done. And Judge Mrshawn wished him godspeed. That this
Speaker 1: guy's had clowned you would layer after layer of reversible error.
Speaker 1: The judge had given to Joe Biden money for his campaign.
Speaker 1: The judge's daughter is a major Democratic fundraiser who made
Speaker 1: millions of dollars raising money off the trial. You have
Speaker 1: a federal US Department of Justice. The Senate guy from
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice named Michael Colangelo into New York
Speaker 1: City to coordinate the attack on Donald Trump through the
Speaker 1: white House, white House itself, you had numerous thirty four
Speaker 1: misdemeanors that were flagged and kept alive by claiming it
Speaker 1: hit some other crime, which was a bunch of bs,
Speaker 1: never describing what the other crime was. This case will
Speaker 1: be reversed on appeal, but in the meantime segment it's unconditional.
Speaker 1: There's no conditions. Go and send no more. But you're
Speaker 1: a convicted felon. That means that in most states Donald
Speaker 1: Trump cannot vote. It means in most states he can't
Speaker 1: carry a gun. His Second Amendment rights are taken away.
Speaker 1: And when he fills out a job application, which I
Speaker 1: don't think he does a lot of, he's got a
Speaker 1: note on the job application that he's a convicted felon.
Speaker 4: Boord out wins the appeal, that all goes away.
Speaker 6: Right Bingo, he will win on appeal.
Speaker 1: And so all the Democrats wanted temporarily to have the
Speaker 1: scarlet f felon letter put on Donald Trump's forehead for
Speaker 1: the election for political purposes.
Speaker 6: Only reason it happened, I don't know what.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, what what what? I don't know?
Speaker 4: I watched the trumpor and I mean he will let
Speaker 4: him have it too. There was a gag orders out
Speaker 4: and he and he's talking now we had the audio
Speaker 4: for the court room and he is letting him have it.
Speaker 1: Everybody, No, I don't blame him. If his name was
Speaker 1: Donald Duck, he would not have been prosecuted at all.
Speaker 6: It was done for political reasons.
Speaker 4: So how many billions of dollars did that cost to him?
Speaker 4: All they get, they get he just walked away and
Speaker 4: that's it.
Speaker 1: Well, his legal fees been reported a ten million dollars
Speaker 1: in legal fees in this one case. And he's got
Speaker 1: one hundred cases against him all over all over the country,
Speaker 1: including criminal cases remaining so to speak, in Atlanta. Maybe
Speaker 1: the ones in Washington and South Miami are gone. He
Speaker 1: still has a deal with Fanny Willis that's still alive.
Speaker 1: So he's spending one hundred million dollars personally on legal
Speaker 1: cases and try to bankrupt the guy one hundred million.
Speaker 4: Well, then and all that suffumer so that the New
Speaker 4: York thing was a whole about Sorby Daniels and this
Speaker 4: cold dude and everything else, and that looks like it's
Speaker 4: all gone, it's it's all you know what.
Speaker 1: Well, right now it's on the appellate level, and that
Speaker 1: means whether it's state appeals courts, the Supreme Court of
Speaker 1: New York called the Appellate Court there, or the federal system.
Speaker 1: Within the next three years, the whole thing will be
Speaker 1: thrown out. Everybody knows it. It'll be thrown out because
Speaker 1: it was BS from the beginning. And I hold the
Speaker 1: New York Bar Association and the New York appellate courts
Speaker 1: responsible for not cracking down on judges presiding over a
Speaker 1: case involving a defendant when you've given money to the
Speaker 1: defendant's opponent and your daughter's raising money off the trial.
Speaker 1: I blame New York Bar Association for not snapping the
Speaker 1: judge Mershan back to reality. You can't do that in
Speaker 1: a free society, because what's going to keep the next
Speaker 1: Republican prosecutor in a red state to go after the
Speaker 1: Democratic nominee, come up with some BS charges to smear
Speaker 1: the guy, put him to trial in front of a
Speaker 1: Republican jury, say in rural Florida, and see what happens
Speaker 1: to the Democrat. This is not the way things ought
Speaker 1: to be. But I give the American people credit segment.
Speaker 4: They saw through it, seen to that wellie, and he's
Speaker 4: going to be president again, So I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 4: just do that's all John Watson to comester the super
Speaker 4: scoopers out because they got hit by a drone. Can't
Speaker 4: get the water to the fires. I mean, what is
Speaker 4: what is up?
Speaker 6: Well? You know, California's an arid state. It's a desert state.
Speaker 1: And they had the ability to house and the reserve
Speaker 1: and save trillions of gallons of fresh water every year,
Speaker 1: but fail to do so because of the smelt fish.
Speaker 1: They can't build any of these reservoirs because of the
Speaker 1: of the smelt fish that they spawned. You'd like to
Speaker 1: have sex and spawn over rocks, so that means you
Speaker 1: can't have drinking water. The hydrants have no water. There's
Speaker 1: no backup system. There's nothing of a controlled burn u.
Speaker 1: The Mayor's in Africa and the all Dei Hires dominates everything.
Speaker 1: Seg We're in trouble. You should stay in Middle Tucky.
Speaker 1: I'll stay in Kenwood. How about that?

Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: Here's the deal, buddy. Compared to the other day, I
Speaker 5: mean any other time, two to four four inches, we
Speaker 5: would be all up. And but compared to the other day,
Speaker 5: we survived that one. We'll survive this one. But yes,
Speaker 5: it's about the timing right now, especially southeastern Indiana, they've
Speaker 5: been seeing over the last forty minutes or so a
Speaker 5: little steadier snow and we're seeing it pick up a
Speaker 5: little more so here, road surfaces all below freezing there is.
Speaker 5: This is not a sleep it's not a freezing rain,
Speaker 5: it's not.
Speaker 4: A little bit of bits.

Speaker 1: tomorrow morning, give me a full report, Frank em Yeah.
Speaker 5: Everybody too. I mean this is a pretty just blanketed
Speaker 5: two to four for everybody. I think the four, you know,
Speaker 5: you could be a little bit closer to our northern
Speaker 5: Kentucky neighborhood because you go down towards Louisville, Nashville. Right now,
Speaker 5: they're under winter store mornings. I mean, it's snow covered
Speaker 5: in Atlanta this afternoon, so definitely the steadier snow in South.
Speaker 5: But we're right in the middle where two to four
Speaker 5: inches will be a safe bet for us here today.
Speaker 5: I just saw a Delta flight that was going from
Speaker 5: Atlanta to Minneapolis had some engine issues and they had
Speaker 5: to evacuate it on a snowy runway there at Atlanta's
Speaker 5: Hartsville Jackson just a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 4: A couple hours.
Speaker 6: The passengers came down the shoots. That's not good.
Speaker 4: I came right down the chute.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't want to be going down on
Speaker 5: any shoes.
Speaker 6: No, not down in line.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 6: Now, this is somewhat historical.
Speaker 1: You might recall January the tenth, nineteen eighty two breezer Bowl.
Speaker 1: That's it now, that was minus nine degree temperature whin
Speaker 1: Joe was minus fifty nine and the Bengals beat Santygo
Speaker 1: twenty seven to seven. Do you recall that Frankie Ems
Speaker 1: forty three years ago?
Speaker 5: I would have been three up in Cleveland, so I
Speaker 5: know I recall it obviously now, but yeah, I would
Speaker 5: have been three years old back then. Well, my question
Speaker 5: is back to them with all those I mean, was
Speaker 5: a man called the horsemier or who would have been
Speaker 5: back then? I guess like Tony Sands, were they on
Speaker 5: the air? Were they on the air twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: Talking about it?
Speaker 6: Yes, no they were not. And those good old days
Speaker 6: it was a weather thing.
Speaker 1: But then they went back to regular programming and you
Speaker 1: would assume people could look outside see what was going on.
Speaker 1: But in today world that would not work because when
Speaker 1: weather happens, people break up, go crazy.
Speaker 5: Well, I remember back in the day where like at
Speaker 5: the corner of the screen a large w MET like
Speaker 5: warning and a small w MET watch.
Speaker 9: That's like, oh you had.
Speaker 1: I still don't know the difference between a warning and
Speaker 1: a watch. That's a different issue.
Speaker 5: A watch is a watch as it could happen. You're
Speaker 5: watching out for conditions to develop. Everything could work out.
Speaker 5: A warning means it is happening.
Speaker 4: So there you go.
Speaker 1: Now, what kind of will you take your coat off today?
Speaker 1: Roll up your sleeves? What's gonna happen?
Speaker 5: Oh, reilly willy, we got we got a sweater on today.
Speaker 5: I got a nice, nice button down with a sweater
Speaker 5: and make you a jacket over the slater today.
Speaker 1: Looking on the horizon for the next ten days, it
Speaker 1: doesn't look as if the temperature is gonna get above
Speaker 1: thirty ten grades for the next ten days or longer.
Speaker 1: What does your crystal ball tell you toward the end
Speaker 1: of January and February, whether this be a winter like
Speaker 1: way in the seventies or eighties, or like a winter
Speaker 1: we're having now, Because right now the temperatures aren't that bad.
Speaker 5: I don't see, you know, single digit daytime highs. But
Speaker 5: what I do see are a lot more days in
Speaker 5: the twenties than forties or thirties. Average high right now
Speaker 5: about thirty nine. So we get to the low thirties
Speaker 5: on Sunday, and then next week we're back in the twenties,
Speaker 5: single digits for overnight lows. I do see a little
Speaker 5: warm up MLK weekend. Martin Luther King Junior weekend, next
Speaker 5: weekend for the break for kids. So I do see
Speaker 5: up maybe thirty seven, thirty eight, maybe Saturday the eighteenth.
Speaker 5: But then we're right back in the twenties. So you know,
Speaker 5: going out to at least about the twenty eighth of
Speaker 5: the month, you have more days of the twenties than
Speaker 5: you do anything else with those temperatures in the single
Speaker 5: digits the night at night at times. The nice thing
Speaker 5: is that makes it easy any precip we get. It's
Speaker 5: easy to track it at snowfall for the most part.
Speaker 1: And Frankie Marzillo, how are the roads as far as
Speaker 1: shoveling around your home?
Speaker 4: They're good.
Speaker 5: The Merrymount folks do do a great job there. Actually,
Speaker 5: that stretch of Wooster Pike I was told a couple
Speaker 5: of years ago that goes right through mary Mind, it's
Speaker 5: actually touched by three different agencies. You've got the county,
Speaker 5: you've got the state, and you have Marymount right there,
Speaker 5: Columbia Township because there's a salt dome down that way,
Speaker 5: so they all go there to get their stuff. So
Speaker 5: that stretch, you know, going through Fairfax and whatnot's usually
Speaker 5: pretty good. But yeah, things look good right now. Watch
Speaker 5: out for the icicles too, will you have been warning people?
Speaker 5: I know kids like to have fun and we are
Speaker 5: some serious icicles out there and those things can.
Speaker 4: Be really dangerous.
Speaker 1: Sure, so, Frankie m is going to have three to
Speaker 1: five inches everywhere, and the temperature is not going to
Speaker 1: be too bad the load and not to be about
Speaker 1: with four or five degrees.
Speaker 5: I never want to correct you, but two to four,
Speaker 5: two to four.
Speaker 6: I say three to five, two to four inches, three
Speaker 6: to five?
Speaker 4: You want to go three?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: Watching the power of five?
Speaker 1: What are you doing over power of five? That's what
Speaker 1: I'm watching. Tell me about kicking it with Ken? I
Speaker 1: love that guy had him in about a month ago.
Speaker 1: Kicking it with Ken was in some golf store the
Speaker 1: other day. What's it like working with kicking it with Ken?
Speaker 5: Kicking it with Kenny Baker is the best. He He
Speaker 5: used to be a camera guy for us back in
Speaker 5: the day. He said, I'm gonna be I want to
Speaker 5: do this. So he went off to Myrtle Beach and
Speaker 5: he worked in Louisville and he's he has energy. The
Speaker 5: guy is fabulous, good guy, funny, funny guy Ken. And
Speaker 5: then he can also turn the serious snow too. That's
Speaker 5: the sign of a good broadcaster, somebody who could be
Speaker 5: a you know, a goofball with a purpose, and then
Speaker 5: somebody who can turn it on right away and you
Speaker 5: know you have that credibility too.
Speaker 1: So tonight, del when you look on the horizon, he's good.
Speaker 1: When the next seven to ten days you're seeing any
Speaker 1: more snowstorms coming the next seven to ten days after
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 5: A little bit of snow Monday, I don't expect that
Speaker 5: being a huge issue, and then we're just cold into
Speaker 5: into next week. So once we get through this, with
Speaker 5: the exception of little snow on Monday, I think we
Speaker 5: are good through next weekend.
Speaker 1: All right, Do you have any questions for me about sports, politics,
Speaker 1: world capitals, something that's confused you over the years.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we can dive into wiser no water
Speaker 5: in California with these fires, that's my question.
Speaker 4: Number two.
Speaker 5: Congratulations. I saw you're like you're a number one number
Speaker 5: two weather not web guy radio hosts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one organization, Barrett Media, picked me as the
Speaker 1: top midday host in America, and I'm thinking, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's better than a kick in the shins, So yes,
Speaker 1: it's three years in a row, and I'll keep it
Speaker 1: kicking as long as you think I should and Ken Baker,
Speaker 1: but I enjoy what I'm doing.
Speaker 6: It's going to be recognized.
Speaker 1: This one's kind of important because the only voting is
Speaker 1: by your peers. It's those in talk radio night, it's
Speaker 1: the it's the program directors, the operations managers, and no,
Speaker 1: none of the hosts themselves actually vote. It's by other ones.
Speaker 1: And so to be number one in that category, there's
Speaker 1: about six hundred of us in the country, to be
Speaker 1: at the top of the list is not a bad thing.
Speaker 5: That's the most congratulate you.
Speaker 2: You deserve that award and you.
Speaker 5: Get like a fancy leg lamp or something with that,
Speaker 5: like a the story. Remember he won the big award
Speaker 5: for well.
Speaker 1: I talked to DJ Hodge, our operations manager actually told
Speaker 1: me a couple of days ago, I selected against the
Speaker 1: top host in America, and uh, I said, what do
Speaker 1: I get for that? In the handed me of Ron's
Speaker 1: Roos Chicken Wing, I said, well, I said, that's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, assuming Channel nineteen, we'll get some national award
Speaker 1: as the best with the management at Fox nineteen, maybe
Speaker 1: wine Dine in pocket line you a little bit where
Speaker 1: they simply said that I've all I go get them,
Speaker 1: or would they do something like money wise a trophy.
Speaker 1: I don't want any more trophies, Frankie, I want no
Speaker 1: more trophies. Would you agree?
Speaker 2: I don't want a trophy, no more trophy.
Speaker 5: I think we probably were probably good the Nado's pizza.
Speaker 4: And the job.
Speaker 6: That's true. That's about it. That's about it, all right, frank.
Speaker 1: Well, you know we've had a little bit of a
Speaker 1: snaff foo that the people's judge while Thanksgiving picture. This
Speaker 1: is Thanksgiving dinner. We have sixteen people overt Kamargo Reynald.
Speaker 1: I've already done the thing on Thanksgiving afternoon, I have
Speaker 1: two petticure manicures come over to women and all the
Speaker 1: adult women they go downstairs. They bring the little pails
Speaker 1: with them and then they manny's and petties in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: We then did a massage table, bring over a massuse.
Speaker 1: The ladies are happy about that, and then we generally
Speaker 1: cater the Thanksgiving meal. We have fifteen sixteen people. We
Speaker 1: got the extra table, silverware, set up, pennies walking to
Speaker 1: the table with their hands with dinner rolls. One of
Speaker 1: many batches ready to go. There was a little piece
Speaker 1: of ice that was on the hardwood floor. Her right
Speaker 1: foot hits the ice, her hands are occupied, her head
Speaker 1: goes to the right, cracks her head on the side
Speaker 1: of the granite island, falls to the ground. Thanksgiving evening
Speaker 1: at seven pm, and within five minutes the two of
Speaker 1: us are in an ambulance to Christ Hospital. She's bleeding
Speaker 1: from the right side of her head.
Speaker 6: She was in.
Speaker 1: Tremendous semi conscious and also we thought she broke a
Speaker 1: hip a leg. She what she did was have she
Speaker 1: cracked her pelvis in addition to the right side of
Speaker 1: her head. If you can picture her with rolls in
Speaker 1: her hand, and she hits the ice, her head goes
Speaker 1: to the right, hits on the side of the granite island,
Speaker 1: opens up the right side of her head. She falls
Speaker 1: and cracks her pelvis. So at this point, shall we
Speaker 1: say we're in the ambulance. Sycamore Township shows up, two
Speaker 1: police cars, ambulance. We go down sirens to Christ Hospital.
Speaker 1: And I learned later ten minutes after we left, my
Speaker 1: son Evan said, well, let's eat, and so it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that at the time, because I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: make sure her head's okay, no, let's eat, and so
Speaker 1: it was. They set of prayer of healing and they
Speaker 1: had dinner. Took about an hour and a half. I'm
Speaker 1: down there till two am the next morning with her
Speaker 1: to see what is it?
Speaker 6: At see this, then, at this, and that done. It was.
Speaker 1: It was like a hard boiled egg that you would
Speaker 1: crack the shell and it was it was not it
Speaker 1: was not displaced. That means one ridge didn't go over
Speaker 1: the other. So what amounted it was lined up. So
Speaker 1: when you talk about my Thanksgiving, I'm getting to the
Speaker 1: point why I'm not broadcasting from Florida. It's because she
Speaker 1: was just released yesterday by doctor Fisher at christ Hospital,
Speaker 1: and after six weeks exactly, she's properly healed, she's off
Speaker 1: the walker and she's moving. And so I said, okay,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go down in February.
Speaker 2: But she was reas she was staying it from she
Speaker 2: was released from Cares.
Speaker 1: She was in the hospital five days and then she
Speaker 1: went to came home. We brought in nurses, I brought
Speaker 1: in pt I brought in help and took care of her.
Speaker 1: And now she's she's ready to go, but I said,
Speaker 1: if you can picture the scene of fifteen sixteen people,
Speaker 1: three or four of whom I didn't know because they
Speaker 1: were boyfriends or girlfriends of my family.
Speaker 6: And nice to see you, Tory, nice to see you.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden it goes I'm happy to
Speaker 1: help you, ready to join hands and bless the food.
Speaker 1: Within a split second, she's lying on the floor with
Speaker 1: blood coming out of the right side of her head,
Speaker 1: screaming and hollering, and she's donet scream and holler. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: what is I thought, Frankie m I thought she was shot.
Speaker 1: I'm looking around through a window and I said, what happened?
Speaker 1: And she's I don't know what? Kicking it with Ken.
Speaker 1: And right now she's healthy and happy and home. A
Speaker 1: little bit of a giddy up in her hip, but
Speaker 1: in her leg a little bit of walk. But she's
Speaker 1: over the last six weeks. She's five five days in
Speaker 1: the hospital, which wasn't pleasant, extremely painful, extremely painful.
Speaker 4: But she grateful for you.
Speaker 2: I'm sure well.
Speaker 6: I tell her every day to say that to me.
Speaker 6: Every day.
Speaker 1: I tell her, look, you couldn't find someone like me,
Speaker 1: And she says, oh, I know, I know, but you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to call upon the Almighty and you
Speaker 1: talk about unexpected circumstances life happening when you're planning something else.
Speaker 1: That was the moment, and one of the one of
Speaker 1: the younger women that were there said, after dinner, does
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff normally happen here? Because we had
Speaker 1: the ambulances treat guys with gurnies, we had two police
Speaker 1: to and Evin said, no, this doesn't normally happen here.
Speaker 3: No, because you get stuck on your room sometimes.
Speaker 4: Shut up.
Speaker 6: I mean that was her fault too.
Speaker 1: She told me to get up there and clean the
Speaker 1: clean the lint out of the dryer event which was
Speaker 1: on the roof, and I shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 6: But anyway, things are good. Things are good, all right.
Speaker 4: You gotta get that.
Speaker 5: We just had the dryer guys come over the other day.
Speaker 6: Gotta get you, gotta get the dryer vent.
Speaker 1: Gotta get that guy. All right, Frank, you you're the best.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with snow, but everything's gonna be okay.
Speaker 5: We're gonna be okay. Just give yourself some time here tonight.
Speaker 5: But this is you don't need to go clear the
Speaker 5: grocery store shelves out. Okay, there's still restocking from the
Speaker 5: last one.
Speaker 1: And thank you for your con comments about the designation.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's gradulation.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Frank, Thank you, Frank. I am well, let's
Speaker 6: continue with more.
Speaker 1: You know, life happens when you're planning something else, and
Speaker 1: this was, in a sense horrible event. But I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are a lot worse shape than
Speaker 1: we're in, and I give thanks for what we have,
Speaker 1: so I was continue with more if a line becomes
Speaker 1: available five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand or
Speaker 1: pounds seven hundred new AIGHTE and T plus the segment
Speaker 1: somewhere in middle Tucky as he is in fear of
Speaker 1: snow hitting the pavement and his incapability of matriculating. And
Speaker 1: this is from a NASCAR maven. This guy has every
Speaker 1: little car one can imagine. He's got stand ups of
Speaker 1: Dale Earnhardt Junior and Senior all over the basement. And
Speaker 1: this guy will not drive in the snow, much less
Speaker 1: a prediction of snow. If it's predicted, the segment does
Speaker 1: not arrive, and I hope Rocky Boyman will be here
Speaker 1: to to gloat a little bit about Notre Dame, which
Speaker 1: what a game last night. Most of these games have
Speaker 1: been terrible, but this one was fabulous. And tonight Ohio
Speaker 1: State's favored to take Texas apart. I think a final
Speaker 1: between Ohio State and Notre Dame is great, and I
Speaker 1: will take Ohio State to beat Notre Dame if Rocky
Speaker 1: Bowman is willing to make the bet with no points,
Speaker 1: of course. Two twenty five HOMEI your red Legs News Radio.
Speaker 1: Seven hundred Wow, good step, good.
Speaker 7: Hold, kick on it play and the kick is good.
Speaker 8: Snitch Cheeter with seven second left gives the Irish ho.
Speaker 5: Lad oh, hello, quiet, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 6: What guy all right?
Speaker 5: Rocking?
Speaker 6: Queue it up?
Speaker 1: It well, it looked man for a while. I texted
Speaker 1: you when it was ten to nothing. Yes, wasn't good gloating.
Speaker 1: You're gloating early, as you often do.
Speaker 6: I didn't like to gloat.
Speaker 1: I you know the second I wanted really secretly Notre
Speaker 1: Dame to win.
Speaker 6: But ten zip it looked a bit dark. Pen stated
Speaker 6: found a weakness.
Speaker 1: They were exploding it to the great benefits could have gone.
Speaker 1: One way was that in that was that interception of
Speaker 1: the end zone was that somehow a penalty which would
Speaker 1: have turned the rock. What do you say the whole
Speaker 1: game around. It looked at me like it was ticky
Speaker 1: tacky interception of the end zone.
Speaker 6: Guess what, it stuck. It didn't stick. It stuck, very
Speaker 6: very ticky tacky.
Speaker 8: And I mean Greg McElroy, you know, his what he
Speaker 8: was looking at was saying the defender never turned around
Speaker 8: to look at ball, which is what people always say.
Speaker 8: But to me, the ball's got to be catchable. I mean,
Speaker 8: the ball was drastically underthrown, which caused the penalty. You
Speaker 8: should not get rewarded for throwing a bad ball into
Speaker 8: bad coverage, and that's what happened. That was a terrible,
Speaker 8: terrible call. But nevertheless, the Irish prevailed. They found a way,
Speaker 8: They found a way. And how about all the contributions.
Speaker 8: First of all, I largely Willie. You know, people used
Speaker 8: to always talk about with Marvin Lewis the Bengals can't
Speaker 8: make halftime adjustments. I largely, in my experience, halftime adjustments
Speaker 8: are bs. You better be making adjustments during the game
Speaker 8: in between every series.
Speaker 6: You know, rarely do things happen at halftime.
Speaker 8: But my god, that was a different Irish team coming
Speaker 8: out of halftime, they said something, did something, They committed
Speaker 8: to the run and coming out of half it was
Speaker 8: an absolutely different team. Now getting the field goal by
Speaker 8: the backup quarterback Steve Angelie right before half to make
Speaker 8: it a seven point game. That was a huge, huge
Speaker 8: swing in the game, make it a seven point lead
Speaker 8: instead of a ten point lead, and they rolled the
Speaker 8: victory segment.
Speaker 1: Before we get to the segment Marcus Freeman after the game,
Speaker 1: the ESPN reporter wanted to debate him on a racial issue,
Speaker 1: which is completely inappropriate.
Speaker 6: Rock.
Speaker 1: First of all, did you hear that? If so, we
Speaker 1: can play it for you.
Speaker 6: No, no, I saw it.
Speaker 8: You know Mally McGrath is. I know Molly very well.
Speaker 8: She's very good at what she does. I would not
Speaker 8: have asked that question. I'm not sure if she was
Speaker 8: told to ask that question wouldn't be the case. But
Speaker 8: she's great at what she does. But I mean, come on,
Speaker 8: I think everyone's so sick of that. Say, even Marcus
Speaker 8: Freeman himself his credit with the best answer. Ever, it
Speaker 8: doesn't matter anything about me or my anything is who
Speaker 8: can coach, who can do a good job black, Asian, white, whatever,
Speaker 8: And that's with. That's the mindset we need if we're
Speaker 8: ever going to get past all this racial division. We
Speaker 8: got to keep making everything about race. Guy's a good
Speaker 8: football coach. Don't care what color is. No one with
Speaker 8: a green jersey or a Notre Dame hat on last
Speaker 8: night cared if Marcus Freeman was black or white?
Speaker 2: Right this carot?
Speaker 6: Did we win the game?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 6: That guy's awesome.
Speaker 1: Four And of course, if you want to play such
Speaker 1: games which democrats love to do, he's multi racial. His
Speaker 1: his mother is is Asian, and he doesn't play upon
Speaker 1: that at all. He says, I'm a football coach.
Speaker 6: Segment. Get us in in the Studs report, Please?
Speaker 9: Will he the stood Report live here in Middletown, sitting
Speaker 9: next to the first Lady of Bubbler County, My lovely wife,
Speaker 9: Denise is brought to you by your local Temestar eating
Speaker 9: air conditioning dealers, Tamestar quality you could feel s I
Speaker 9: think I think I picked Notre Dame Willy to win.
Speaker 9: I think you picked in the knit me allons.
Speaker 8: Here's both hot Pudge Sundays say, don't let him get
Speaker 8: out of here.
Speaker 6: Just third top Fudge Sundays. I believe that's Italia. I'm
Speaker 6: plus two in that category. Oh, thank you very much, Rock,
Speaker 6: one of ten to one.
Speaker 1: I went the greaters. I brought in three hot fudge Sundays,
Speaker 1: one for you, Rock, one for the segment, one for me,
Speaker 1: and you weren't here to accept it. It's ice cream.
Speaker 1: I couldn't wait. I put it in the kitchen and
Speaker 1: both are gone. That's all I can say. They're gone.
Speaker 1: They're gone.
Speaker 6: It's all like hot fudge Sunday. I will get it
Speaker 6: in this house, shall be paid. I got, well, you
Speaker 6: either get it in this life the next Maximus.
Speaker 9: St can't put this one on me.
Speaker 6: Rock, And what happens tonight?
Speaker 1: Rock Ohio State. I think they're going to take the
Speaker 1: long run. It began like a two point favorite. Now
Speaker 1: they're like a six point. It looks to me like
Speaker 1: it's going to be ugly for Texas.
Speaker 8: Ohio State is the best team in college football right now.
Speaker 8: I mean they jumped out to a twenty one point
Speaker 8: lead against Tennessee, a thirty four point lead against Oregon.
Speaker 6: They are absolutely jumping on people.
Speaker 8: They have fourteen five star players that they have the
Speaker 8: firepower on the outside. Then I think they win the game.
Speaker 8: I think it's Irish the Ohio State the championship game.
Speaker 8: That's all the networks, will were, ESPN, everybody else has
Speaker 8: following all of themselves for that matchup.
Speaker 6: It'll be a good one.
Speaker 1: And I think the game is played on Monday night,
Speaker 1: January twentieth. For the Inaugural. We have the Inaugural. It's
Speaker 1: i'ml king Junior Holiday, It's the Inaugural and then Ohio
Speaker 1: State versus Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: Can't get much better than that rock. That's about it.
Speaker 8: It's good. It's as good as it gets. You know,
Speaker 8: they plan these things. It's all about money.
Speaker 6: It's not about the entertainment of the sport.
Speaker 8: And it's all about money, and the networks are likely
Speaker 8: going to get what they want.
Speaker 6: Segment, Please continue with sports and Willie.
Speaker 9: That Cotton Bowl to night at Big d is at
Speaker 9: seven o'clock right here on seven hundred WLW. Now, Bengals up.
Speaker 9: They brought to you by good spirits. Wanted to back
Speaker 9: on Party Town thirteen convenient locations in northern Kentucky. Trey
Speaker 9: Hendrickson Jamar Chase are the first Bengals to be named
Speaker 9: a p First Team All Pro. That's Bake Andrew Whitworth
Speaker 9: and Gino Gino Gino the silent one Atkins In twenty fifteen,
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow didn't make either the first or second team.
Speaker 9: Lamar Jackson won, and Josh Allen two.
Speaker 8: Rock your reaction to that, I think the MVP should
Speaker 8: go to the most Valuable Player. And if you take
Speaker 8: Josh Allen off the Bills, they're still a pretty good team. Okay,
Speaker 8: if you take Lamar Jackson off the Raiders, they're still
Speaker 8: a pretty good team, still going to make the playoffs.
Speaker 6: You take Joe Burrow off the.
Speaker 8: Bengals, that team wins not many games at all. So
Speaker 8: for that, you know, the offensive line, the things he
Speaker 8: had to deal with with that, but the defense deficiencies,
Speaker 8: I think those alone, regardless of the stats showed, Joe
Speaker 8: Burrows should win the MVP segment.
Speaker 6: Please continue, also.
Speaker 9: Rock and Willie. The reports are that Browns quarterback DeShawn
Speaker 9: Watson ruptured his achilles again and further testing showed a
Speaker 9: further testing sh did he tore it again. He underwent
Speaker 9: surgery yesterday to repair it. He could miss all of
Speaker 9: the twenty twenty five season and rehab, and right I think.
Speaker 8: The Browns are hoping that because the reports I'm reading
Speaker 8: or that they're going to be off the hook for
Speaker 8: some money they owe him if he can't play, dude
Speaker 8: injury or otherwise.
Speaker 6: So let's call your good thing for the Browns.
Speaker 1: You know, rock I got to report out of Cleveland
Speaker 1: that he heard his achilles falling off a massage table.
Speaker 6: Have you heard that?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 8: But there's a better chance of that happening to him
Speaker 8: than probably everyone else.
Speaker 1: So he jumped off the massage table. It was a
Speaker 1: happy ending. He couldn't take it, and he tore the
Speaker 1: same achilles again. Segment Please continue her in trouble?

Speaker 6: what is this?
Speaker 1: No men's men's college Bashontball, Hi Jump Wake Forest beat
Speaker 1: Notre Dame in South Bend. The Notre Dame men's team stinks.
Speaker 1: The girls are pretty good. What about the Notre Dame
Speaker 1: men's basketball team, Rocky Yeah, addressed for a moment.
Speaker 8: Well, all that matters is the football team is winning,
Speaker 8: which means after that win last night, I think the
Speaker 8: grand total be of about twenty million dollars, which will
Speaker 8: not go to the conference where they have to share
Speaker 8: it because they're independent. Smartly, they get to keep everything,
Speaker 8: the women, the money, the rings, everything.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm told that all the other coaches are angreat
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. They don't have to share the money with anyone.
Speaker 1: Plus they get a week off between the end of
Speaker 1: the season, the week where the conference champions championships are
Speaker 1: being played. Guess what, they're all for resting and the
Speaker 1: other guys have got to play football.
Speaker 6: What do you think about that?
Speaker 10: Rock?
Speaker 8: The conferences love the conference title games and because it's
Speaker 8: again it's a big money maker and it's a big
Speaker 8: sale item that sort of thing. But I mean, how
Speaker 8: is that working out for for everybody?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 8: I mean, the Irish didn't play in a conference title
Speaker 8: game and they're gonna, you know, they're they're gonna roll.
Speaker 6: And go into it. So I don't know lest anybody
Speaker 6: they'd rather not play that extra game? Well, then that's the.
Speaker 11: I mean, I mean, think about what we in college
Speaker 11: footb It's gonna take what sixteen games for Notre Dame
Speaker 11: or Ohio State or whoever to win this six sixteen
Speaker 11: or seventeen games to win.
Speaker 8: That's a lot of games. I mean, do we need
Speaker 8: all those for college kids? This season just drags on.
Speaker 8: I mean, thank guy, that game last night was unbelievable,
Speaker 8: kind of reinjuvenated some energy back in this playoff because
Speaker 8: the playoffs has been kind of a dud.
Speaker 6: It's been such a long season. But let me give
Speaker 6: you some reason.
Speaker 1: I've poughted up the website to remind you the Notre
Speaker 1: Dame fighting Iris, so to speak. Men's team lost to
Speaker 1: Rutgers eighty five to eighty four. They lost to Houston
Speaker 1: sixty five to fifty four. They lost to crighton the
Speaker 1: Blue Jays seventy six. They lost to Georgia sixty nine
Speaker 1: to forty eight. They lost to Georgia Tech eighty six
Speaker 1: to seventy five. They lost to North Carolina seventy four
Speaker 1: to seventy three. They lost to North Carolina State sixty
Speaker 1: five to sixty. They're playing Duke in Boston College and Syracuse.
Speaker 1: They're gonna lose to them too. What about the men's
Speaker 1: college team, Rock, What do you think about that? They
Speaker 1: lose almost all their games.
Speaker 8: It doesn't matter. Everyone's focused on football right now. Will
Speaker 8: they get together on the hardwood?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 8: Their women's team is good, by the way. They'll get
Speaker 8: all that sorted out here once it's basketball season.
Speaker 6: We'll see about that football season. Well, I don't know
Speaker 6: about that, but tonight's game is exciting. I'm picking Ohio State.
Speaker 6: By the way.
Speaker 1: Rock, I'll give you Texas. You weren't here for the
Speaker 1: hot fod Sunday. Bet I'll take Ohio State and I'll
Speaker 1: give you Texas.
Speaker 6: How about that?
Speaker 8: Now, I'm gonna sit this one out because you owe
Speaker 8: me too hot fetchs son, I'm already paid.
Speaker 5: Never hear it.
Speaker 6: I paid them, No, paid them all. You paid them off.
Speaker 6: When I receive it in my hands.
Speaker 8: I was like Deshaun Watson and Houston, I'm just how
Speaker 8: about how about the kicker? How about Notre Dame's kicker,
Speaker 8: Great Mitchell Jeter, And I couldn't believe that they showed
Speaker 8: the guy in the stands filming. I'm like, there's no
Speaker 8: way that's his dad, the dad. Would I mean, if
Speaker 8: I was that kid's dad, I'd be like, I'd be
Speaker 8: like curling up at a ball, and he's not just
Speaker 8: only watching it, he's like just.
Speaker 6: Calmly kind of filming the ball. It was a great
Speaker 6: moment for my son, and the dude nails it. I
Speaker 6: couldn't believe that. I thought I was going wide right.
Speaker 6: It was lucky.
Speaker 1: It was a win kind of a the other thing
Speaker 1: was going right and all of a sudden it went
Speaker 1: left and merely you.
Speaker 8: Know what happened, lily, what happened? Well, you know what happened, right, No,
Speaker 8: Jesus' mother pushed that.
Speaker 1: Ball a little bit to the lest lesson Virgin Mary
Speaker 1: did it. Whatever happened, And there's no way. I mean,
Speaker 1: everyone wants Notre Dame versus Ohio State. That would be
Speaker 1: a classic. And to watch Ohigh State run Notre Dame
Speaker 1: out of the stadium will be fabulous. It's gonna be wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's over. And to watch Notre Dame just collapse beneath
Speaker 1: the mighty foot of the buck Eyes, the buck Eye
Speaker 1: boot will be planning.
Speaker 8: Here here, here would be Notre Dame's advantage in this
Speaker 8: right now, for whatever reason, for reasons that I can't
Speaker 8: fully under stand, the fan base, the support behind Ryan
Speaker 8: Day is fractured. They hated him, They want his job,
Speaker 8: they want his head. Conversely, everybody collectively, the whole fan base, alumni,
Speaker 8: Subway alumni, is behind Marcus Freeman, come hell or high water,
Speaker 8: and I think there, I think there's a somewhat of
Speaker 8: an advantage there.
Speaker 1: And of course Marcus Freeman has the Cincinnati connection. It's
Speaker 1: everything in the world done.
Speaker 6: It comes back to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Explain that why is there a connection between us and
Speaker 1: South bend other than you.
Speaker 8: Marcus Freeman was the defensive coordinator for the Bearcats for
Speaker 8: for a couple of years. Eight times right, everything right there,
Speaker 8: times out at the higher ground and then when I
Speaker 8: did some Barracat games back in the day. Never would
Speaker 8: have At the time, you knew the guy was destined for,
Speaker 8: you know, a big job, and you know, probably gonna
Speaker 8: be a head coach and all that, But never did
Speaker 8: you did you think it'd be notre dame at age
Speaker 8: thirty five, And never did you think at age thirty
Speaker 8: nine his birthday is today, would be getting the Irish
Speaker 8: to the national champion.
Speaker 6: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And the only reason it happened is the players themselves
Speaker 1: kind of rose up with mighty voice and said, don't
Speaker 1: give us Frable, don't give us this guy or that guy.
Speaker 6: We don't want trestle here. They said, we won Freeman.
Speaker 8: The players said that, and look, that's not always the
Speaker 8: course of action you should take, you know. You know,
Speaker 8: I don't think many businesses ask the employees who they
Speaker 8: want to be their boss.
Speaker 6: Usually it's the.
Speaker 8: Big wigs and the people that make the hard decisions
Speaker 8: say this is going to be the boss. But in
Speaker 8: this case, the energy around Marcus Freeman, the love the
Speaker 8: players head for him. It worked out, It's going to
Speaker 8: continue to work out.
Speaker 6: It's wonderful.
Speaker 1: And I love the fact his mother is is is
Speaker 1: Korean and he identifies like Tiger Woods to many racial categories.
Speaker 6: As I do too.
Speaker 1: Guys, I have five percent black blood and me there's
Speaker 1: lots of Cunningham's and the black community, and I draw
Speaker 1: my water a lot from the black community. Cunningham It's
Speaker 1: names all over the black community. Hell, I'm five percent
Speaker 1: and I like that. That's why I can play basketball
Speaker 1: and jump like I used to. That's a different issue,
Speaker 1: you know. Freeman said his father was stationed in the
Speaker 1: Air Force, met his mother while stationed in South Korea,
Speaker 1: that fell in love, and he wasn't aware of his
Speaker 1: mother's background as an Asian immigrants.
Speaker 6: He was a little bit older.
Speaker 1: As a youngster, he grew to appreciate his Korean ancestry.
Speaker 1: So when ESPN tried to bait him into some sort
Speaker 1: of racism racial thing, he rejected it. Rock what's on
Speaker 1: the Big show today? If anything?
Speaker 8: Well, right out of the gate, Ed and I we
Speaker 8: got Skinney Richard Skinner. We're going to talk about the
Speaker 8: big game. At three o'clock preview the Ohio State game.
Speaker 8: We have John Maderes. At three point fifty, we've got
Speaker 8: doctor Bruce Herman, a plastic surgeon. On at four o'clock
Speaker 8: in the way of your I think a former girlfriend.
Speaker 8: Here is Jen Steyers, who had some relationship advice.
Speaker 6: She needs it.
Speaker 1: At five o'clock, I worked her well, worked her over,
Speaker 1: did a great job with her. All right, Rocky, thank
Speaker 1: you very much.
