Speaker 1: All right, twelve O wait, welcome in seven hundred wlw
Speaker 1: the average America in put the great American on this Thursday. Yes, yes, yes, Budelah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Somebody again left the air conditioning
Speaker 1: on outside. Why do we keep doing that? Don't worry?
Speaker 1: Spring's coming. Look at it this way. Opening Day is
Speaker 1: still what a month away? It's been a month away,
Speaker 1: a little more than a month, five weeks. It has
Speaker 1: to get warmer, doesn't it. I mean that was in
Speaker 1: the brochure when we all moved here, wasn't it. The
Speaker 1: dizzying effect of Donald Trump continues in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: It is claimed Mitch McConnell, who not surprisingly today announced
Speaker 1: that he will not seek reelection in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: I think that was almost a foregone conclusion when he
Speaker 1: was forced out as Senate Majority Leader or Senate Minority
Speaker 1: leader at the time Senate majority leader, he would have
Speaker 1: been that now belongs to you. So I don't think
Speaker 1: that's any great shock. And there are those that think
Speaker 1: that McConnell should have just taken it back to the
Speaker 1: ranch after he successfully blocked Merrick Garland's nomination to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court all those years ago, but nevertheless he's hung
Speaker 1: on in some of these elections, never really a serious primary.
Speaker 1: With regards to McConnell, he did have some people that
Speaker 1: the game a run for his money. Amy McGrath in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty certainly did in twenty fourteen Alison Lundgren Grimes
Speaker 1: also gave him a run. But by and large this
Speaker 1: has been his seat to hold and to and to
Speaker 1: wield great power from. It'll be interesting to see who
Speaker 1: the Republicans put up. Kentucky is certainly not a red state.
Speaker 1: It is a purple state. Andy Basheer is very popular
Speaker 1: in Kentucky, and as you well know, as they just
Speaker 1: sit right across the river from us here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: or we sit right across the river from you in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with the seat and how
Speaker 1: it all plays out. But McConnell officially out in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. As for Trump, I don't think there's been
Speaker 1: any executive order of note today, although it's tough to
Speaker 1: keep up because Donald Trump has just been let's just
Speaker 1: put it this way, just has just been putting pen
Speaker 1: to paper more than sixty executive orders as of February
Speaker 1: nineteenth just yesterday, the most in the president's first one
Speaker 1: hundred days in the last forty years sixty and that
Speaker 1: doesn't count in things like proclamations and whatnot. Some will
Speaker 1: see whether they'll hold up in quart or not. Others
Speaker 1: have been kind of well, that's interesting. The Gulf of America,
Speaker 1: which used to be the Gulf of Mexico birthright citizenship.
Speaker 1: I think that thing is probably destined for failure in
Speaker 1: the court, but we'll see how it all plays out,
Speaker 1: watching it as well as you and me. Is my
Speaker 1: first guest today. He is Kevin Howard. He is the
Speaker 1: author of the book Onward at last twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: presidential election edition. And Kevin is a guy with a
Speaker 1: great background. He has served this country in uniform, a
Speaker 1: veteran of the US Army, and has a background in
Speaker 1: economics and law and a certification in climate risk management
Speaker 1: and sustainability. Who doesn't who doesn't want to sustain anyway,
Speaker 1: Let's bring Kevin on for some of his thoughts on
Speaker 1: what's transpired so far far here and just a little
Speaker 1: bit more than a month. And Kevin Howard, how are
Speaker 1: you on this glorious day?
Speaker 2: Man? I am doing fantastic. It is so good to
Speaker 2: talk to you again. You may not remember because you're
Speaker 2: a busy man. We spoke in September of twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: going into the previous presidential election, you know, talking about
Speaker 2: the adults in the room with Biden perspectively being the president,
Speaker 2: which obviously he was. So it's great to talk to
Speaker 2: you again. Thank you so much for inviting me today.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're back. Just news of the day. What
Speaker 1: do you make of McConnell's saying he's not going to
Speaker 1: run in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Well, basically, McConnell sees the writing on the war wall.
Speaker 2: What Trump was elected to do and by the people
Speaker 2: who elected him, is to dismantle the establishment aspects of
Speaker 2: both the Republican and Democratic Party. Right, the neo con
Speaker 2: neoliberal project is over, right, and so yes, McConnell understands
Speaker 2: his day has passed because he represents that group. But
Speaker 2: this is the whole you know, w Bush, Cheney, both
Speaker 2: Lynn and Dick, this is Clinton, Obama, Biden, Harris. The neoliberal,
Speaker 2: neo conservative project is over and this is a part
Speaker 2: of the demolition that McConnell just recognizes that his day
Speaker 2: has passed.
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and I think it won't stop
Speaker 1: with him. I think you'll see other defections as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Republicans hold that seat in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: It's not quite a a slam dunk as it was
Speaker 1: in years past, and he kind of held onto it
Speaker 1: with an iron fist as much with reputation as he
Speaker 1: did with campaigning. But we'll see. I don't know that
Speaker 1: that'll play out over the next year and a half.
Speaker 1: Trump though, has come in and done as planned. And
Speaker 1: I have to laugh when I see some of these
Speaker 1: Democrats that pop up on MSNBC and CNN. I have
Speaker 1: to laugh when they seem shocked and they seem agassed
Speaker 1: at what Donald Trump is doing. This is exactly what
Speaker 1: he said he was going to do. What part of
Speaker 1: that did you miss over the last year and a half.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people don't pay attention anymore.
Speaker 2: Kevin Well, it's true. Well, it's only because they do
Speaker 2: pay attention. The problem is is that this is the
Speaker 2: pro question at their recognition that the economic plan, the
Speaker 2: geopolitical plan, American hegemony, globalization that has disserved the American
Speaker 2: middle class, the American working class and the working poor
Speaker 2: that those policies are coming to an and are on
Speaker 2: the severe threat, and so they will do Those who
Speaker 2: benefited from it will do anything they can to defend
Speaker 2: it and protect it. And so it's not that they
Speaker 2: didn't listen. They saw it coming. They just can't believe
Speaker 2: he's actually doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those who scream the loudest are the ones that
Speaker 1: are most affected by what is going on. And I
Speaker 1: raise that because I look at Doge and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that Elon Musk is the brightest man in the world.
Speaker 1: Some might think that I don't know who the brightest
Speaker 1: man in the world is, but okay, let's just say
Speaker 1: for a moment it is Elon Musk. All he's doing
Speaker 1: is a deep dive into a corporation the United States
Speaker 1: of America that is a pretty good cash flow. We
Speaker 1: have a good GDP about half of his pay taxes,
Speaker 1: but we have an inordinate problem with spending, and we
Speaker 1: spend too much, and therefore there is waste. And so
Speaker 1: the first thing anybody who takes over a company does
Speaker 1: is you look and you find out why this company
Speaker 1: that seems to do pretty well. Then the bottom line
Speaker 1: comes out and it's in the red. Well, what's going
Speaker 1: on here, that's all he's doing, and what he's uncovering
Speaker 1: is a tremendous amount of what you and me and
Speaker 1: everybody else over the course of our lifetime figured out.
Speaker 1: This government loves to spend money, and there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people making money off the government spending money.
Speaker 1: Anybody that wants to die on that hill fighting that,
Speaker 1: go right ahead.
Speaker 2: I don't think you win, Oh, absolutely not. And let's
Speaker 2: put some concrete numbers to this so that everyone who's
Speaker 2: listening can can appreciate what we're talking about. Since the
Speaker 2: neo conservative neoliberal agenda started being implemented in the early nineties,
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen ninety two, the federal debt was four
Speaker 2: point one trillion four point one trade. That's after two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen years of our country's history. Okay, in
Speaker 2: thirty three years, we're up to thirty six point five trillion, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: so on extra thirty two plus trillion dollars in thirty
Speaker 2: three years. What we're talking about here is the persistent
Speaker 2: news of the federal treasury because who benefited from all
Speaker 2: that debt? Again, if you look at the demographics of
Speaker 2: American socioeconomic demographics of America. The top one percent, according
Speaker 2: to the Federal Reserve, has more wealth and income than
Speaker 2: the entire American middle class. And so what Dose is
Speaker 2: doing is absolutely going in there and observe it. Well,
Speaker 2: why is it that the Pentagon can't pass an audit
Speaker 2: right because they have four trillion dollars and unaccountable funds.
Speaker 2: I mean, just wrap your brain about that. That has
Speaker 2: been what the establishment has been doing for thirty three years.
Speaker 2: And this is what President Trump was elected to do.
Speaker 2: Go in there and dismantle the interagency infrastructure that is
Speaker 2: exercise that has executed that agenda. Well that those days
Speaker 2: are over, and yeah, we're going to find out. Look
Speaker 2: at all the specifics coming out of the outrageous amounts
Speaker 2: of expenditure. It doesn't matter where you live, where you
Speaker 2: live on the political ideological range, No one with support
Speaker 2: what this is unless you were personally benefiting from it.
Speaker 2: And those days are over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No one anywhere in this world, well certainly in
Speaker 1: this country, is entitled to the job he or she has.
Speaker 1: You're not entitled to it. You stay on that job
Speaker 1: and you earn it until the company deems it that
Speaker 1: that job is not necessary anymore, and we've moved on,
Speaker 1: and we can do that more efficiently with either AI
Speaker 1: now or some other means. But you're not entitled to
Speaker 1: your job now. Some jobs are protected by unions, and
Speaker 1: some jobs are protected, for example, in the teaching profession,
Speaker 1: by tenure. But nobody is entitled to keep a job.
Speaker 1: You keep a job for a lot of things, your
Speaker 1: own hard work, but other outside forces. So when I
Speaker 1: see some of these federal workers getting all worked up
Speaker 1: into a ladder, what did you not see when you
Speaker 1: were on the job. Did you not see that there
Speaker 1: was waste, that there might have been four of you
Speaker 1: doing a job that one other person could do. Was
Speaker 1: that not a warning sign for you that maybe you know,
Speaker 1: this might not be the best place for me from
Speaker 1: a long term basis. I think a lot of this
Speaker 1: needs to go back to personal accountability, and a lot
Speaker 1: of it needs to go back to the fact that
Speaker 1: good hard work is your best chance of keeping a job.
Speaker 1: But nobody is entitled to a job, are they, Kevin?
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, Ken. But what we're dealing with here
Speaker 2: is people who were so entrenched in the trough of
Speaker 2: the American Treasury, right. They didn't think this would ever change.
Speaker 2: This was the interagency Presidents come and go. Obama came
Speaker 2: and went, w came and went, and this infrastructure stayed
Speaker 2: in place. So these people didn't think it was ever
Speaker 2: going to change. And they certainly didn't think that President
Speaker 2: Trump would be able to execute this time. The first
Speaker 2: time he was elected, he didn't know how to govern
Speaker 2: and he got sidetracked with a number of issues, and
Speaker 2: we don't have to get into that now. This time,
Speaker 2: he was ready. He had his team ready. Fourteen and
Speaker 2: fifteen major cabinet members have been confirmed and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: and Cash Bottel will probably get confirmed today. So he's
Speaker 2: hit the ground running. And it's shocking them that the earthquakes,
Speaker 2: the eight point nine, you know, has filed their prives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I you know, I think that Trump
Speaker 1: is the kind of guy, at least I think, who
Speaker 1: will go in there and he'll drop an anvil on
Speaker 1: an ant just to see exactly what happens with the
Speaker 1: residual effects. He's a guy that is not a minimalist,
Speaker 1: and so he'll go in and he'll do something large
Speaker 1: just to see what the rest of the reaction is
Speaker 1: and if he only gets half of what he wants,
Speaker 1: well that's good. But if he went in looking for
Speaker 1: half of what he did by dropping the anvil on
Speaker 1: the ant, he probably would only get ten percent of
Speaker 1: what he wanted. So I guess my point is is
Speaker 1: that if you didn't go to school on Trump in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, then shame on you, because
Speaker 1: this is a guy who is basically uninhibited by the
Speaker 1: prospects of having to get re elected or worrying about
Speaker 1: what his second term will be. He's just doing what
Speaker 1: he said he was going to do, and in four
Speaker 1: years he's going to write off into the sense sunset.
Speaker 1: You know again, Kevin, I just don't. I just don't
Speaker 1: know why this should be a shock to anybody, because
Speaker 1: it was pretty plain and evident in the year and
Speaker 1: a half he declared and his lead up to this election.
Speaker 1: He's just not You might might not have you might
Speaker 1: have been paying attention, but you probably didn't want to
Speaker 1: believe it. If you're having a problem.
Speaker 2: With it right now, and Ken, before we go, if
Speaker 2: we could just touch on so that the audience knows
Speaker 2: the two major things that President Trump has got that
Speaker 2: he's bringing about in this first month is to execute
Speaker 2: his strategy to end the forever wars. America has been
Speaker 2: in combat somewhere around the world for over thirty years, right,
Speaker 2: and so what you see, what's going on with the
Speaker 2: war in Ukraine, what you see, what's going on with
Speaker 2: the ceasefire and Gaza. What you see the Secretary of State,
Speaker 2: you know when he in his interview with Megan Kelly
Speaker 2: saying that the superpowers will use diplomacy to settle competing
Speaker 2: interests so we do not have to come engage in
Speaker 2: armed conflict. That is President Trump's ending the forever war strategy,
Speaker 2: and Tulca Gabbert is at the tip of that sphere.
Speaker 2: The tariffs is about unwinding globalization. What happens to the
Speaker 2: American middle class, in American working class is because it
Speaker 2: got commoditized competing against China, competing against Mexico, South Korea
Speaker 2: and other places. By bringing a manufacturing back to the
Speaker 2: United States and our productivity back to the United States,
Speaker 2: that's where the quality jobs in mass at large is
Speaker 2: going to come back, right. And so that's what the
Speaker 2: tariff regime that's going to be that has to be
Speaker 2: passed by Congress is all about how do you unline
Speaker 2: globalization and bring production back to America. That will be
Speaker 2: that will rebuild the American litdle class. It's going to
Speaker 2: be painful for some period of time in the transition,
Speaker 2: but it'd be well worth it.
Speaker 1: Kevin Howard our guest his book Onward at last twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four presidential election edition. You know, with regards to
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine. Ukraine has been a piggy bank
Speaker 1: for a lot of people that govern in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: And eventually the real story on Ukraine is going to
Speaker 1: get out. And Zelensky's all been out of shape because
Speaker 1: Trump didn't include him first. When I guess Trump's envoy
Speaker 1: went to Saudi Arabia and talk to the Russians and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Zelenski doesn't exist without the United States, and so Zelenski
Speaker 1: needs to understand a few things. There was no exit
Speaker 1: strategy for Zelensky with this war. There was none. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, was he the aggrieved party? Absolutely? Was Russia
Speaker 1: the aggressor, absolutely, But there was no exit strategy for Zelenski.
Speaker 1: And so the constant flow of dollars from the United
Speaker 1: States was the only thing that was going to keep
Speaker 1: Ukraine above water. So he has to listen now to
Speaker 1: Trump and what Trump wants to do. Trump is sly
Speaker 1: as a fox. Just because Zelenski is not involved in
Speaker 1: round one doesn't mean he's not going to be involved
Speaker 1: in rounds three, four, and five. The second thing is
Speaker 1: is Zelensky's got to clean up his act. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a guy that did not allow certain religions
Speaker 1: to be religions to be practiced inside his country. He
Speaker 1: clamped down on free media in Ukraine, and he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to hold elections. And the suspicion is he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to hold elections is because if he did, he
Speaker 1: might not get re elected. So I think Celenski has
Speaker 1: got to clean up his act.
Speaker 2: His approval rating it you crate is four percent. That
Speaker 2: has some studies done at that four. So no, I
Speaker 2: mean it takes I want your listeners to take careful
Speaker 2: attention to how President Trump responded to Vilainsky with his
Speaker 2: complaint that he wasn't that he wasn't participate. The fact
Speaker 2: is is Villainsky had three plus years to negotiate with
Speaker 2: the Russians. He chose not to. Not only did he
Speaker 2: choose not to, he passed legislation preventing anyone in Ukraine
Speaker 2: from negotiating with the Russians. This is why he was excluded,
Speaker 2: you know, right, And it's so important, right he recognized.
Speaker 1: He negotiated well with the United States Senate to take
Speaker 1: auric tax dollars over there, exactly right.
Speaker 2: Right from sad he's a salesman, right and and.
Speaker 1: So okay, So if you got to pick a good
Speaker 1: guy in this, Okay, he's the good guy. But you know,
Speaker 1: you've got to have to have some strategy. You can't say,
Speaker 1: here's you know, here's a couple of billion more, you're
Speaker 1: a good guy, go away, go buy some more bullets.
Speaker 1: There was no there was no way. There was no
Speaker 1: way that this thing was going to end because it
Speaker 1: was it was beyond Biden's contral. The whole thing happened
Speaker 1: because of Biden, but he didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 1: So how would anyone expect that the more money you
Speaker 1: give to something that's a losing effort is all of
Speaker 1: a sudden going to make it a winning effort. You
Speaker 1: see that in business all the time. And you got
Speaker 1: a problem, if you just throw money at it, it
Speaker 1: doesn't fix the problem. It just throws more money at
Speaker 1: the problem. And so that's why I said, I think
Speaker 1: Trump is crazy as a fox. Kevin. I think at
Speaker 1: the end of this, it's not going to be something
Speaker 1: that's a victory or something that Putin is going to
Speaker 1: be running around in his country talking about how wonderful
Speaker 1: it is. Trump's going to get it done on his
Speaker 1: term so that the United States comes out of this
Speaker 1: with something minerals, access to minerals or something. But he
Speaker 1: knows exactly what.
Speaker 2: He wants, oh absolutely. And for another show, Ken, we
Speaker 2: really got to talk about the Ukraine narrative because that's
Speaker 2: a part of the problem. The reason why the Russians
Speaker 2: are willing to compromise with President Trump is because President
Speaker 2: Trump is acknowledging the truth about how we got to
Speaker 2: the war in Ukraine and that the narrative is not true.
Speaker 2: So it's too much to go into right now, but
Speaker 2: there's a lot bit people like John Mensheimer from the
Speaker 2: University of Chicago, people like Jeffrey Sachs from Columbia University,
Speaker 2: and the developmental economists, they have been telling the truth
Speaker 2: about this and it's a different story. So President Trump
Speaker 2: is right to bring this water and end and but
Speaker 2: the basis by which he is and will be favorable
Speaker 2: to America is because we're dealing straight now with with
Speaker 2: Putin and the Russians, and we're going to actually normalize
Speaker 2: the full range of relations both with Russia and with
Speaker 2: China and with Europe so that we can actually get
Speaker 2: back to doing business, which is what which would benefit
Speaker 2: us and the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you you just you just bargained away another
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of your life because I just made a note.
Speaker 1: I'm going to have you on here again in about
Speaker 1: three weeks. Then we're going to go on to the
Speaker 1: real story in Ukraine. Kevin Howard his pot d Yeah,
Speaker 1: Onward at Last twenty twenty four presidential election a day.
Speaker 1: It's out right now and you can find Kevin at
Speaker 1: Onward at last dot com, Onward at last dot com. Okay, Kevin,
Speaker 1: you stay well and you know your phone's going to
Speaker 1: be ricking.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you so much. Ken, You all take care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Trump knows exactly what he wants.
Speaker 1: He's crazy as good, guys, crazy as a fox. And
Speaker 1: all the MSNBC and CNN was watching them this morning
Speaker 1: and they're all jumping around and dancing around and calling.
Speaker 1: You know, he called Zelenski. You know what, Just calm down,
Speaker 1: by the way, nobody's watching anyway. It is twelve twenty
Speaker 1: eight news radio seven hundred Wow. Where are we? Well,
Speaker 1: we're right here, of course, No. Twelve thirty eight news
Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred WYLW. Sometimes you just got to cry
Speaker 1: on your neck to see the clock twelve thirty eight
Speaker 1: here on this Thursday. It's the average American in for
Speaker 1: the great American. Great to have you with us. Uh No,
Speaker 1: Damir Zelensky is wildly unpopular inside his own country. Oftentimes,
Speaker 1: when a country is at war, the rally round the
Speaker 1: leader of that country is enormous and the leader becomes
Speaker 1: even more popular. We saw it in this country during
Speaker 1: the First Afghan War, which involved the United States. George
Speaker 1: hw Bush was the president of the United States the
Speaker 1: Gulf War, if you will, and his popularity was unbelievable
Speaker 1: as that war was brought to a close and Saddam
Speaker 1: Hussein was captured. But within months, because of the way
Speaker 1: this country was headed economically, it's the economy stupid, was
Speaker 1: the great quote. George hw Bush's popularity fell remarkably right
Speaker 1: off a cliff, and he lost the ensuing election to
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. We saw it back in this country in
Speaker 1: World War Two, with FDR remained in office for four terms.
Speaker 1: That was legal back then. The law was quickly changed
Speaker 1: after that because what FDR was doing was approaching a monarchy,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, it was time for him to go anyway.
Speaker 1: He died very early into his fourth term in office,
Speaker 1: and Zelensky won a five year term in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: which meant that at the end of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Four his.
Speaker 1: Time would be up. But he declared martial law in
Speaker 1: Ukraine in twenty twenty two, and because of the Russian
Speaker 1: invasion he so declared there would be no election, and
Speaker 1: Zelenski at that point outlawed and opposition party. You couple
Speaker 1: that with what he did with religion and what he
Speaker 1: did with the free press, and you're beginning to see
Speaker 1: what's going on over there again. As I prefaced all
Speaker 1: of this with my guest Kevin Howard, the Ukraine is
Speaker 1: the agreeved party. There's no question about that. They were
Speaker 1: the country that was at they were the country that
Speaker 1: was invaded. We can get into the whys and the wherefores,
Speaker 1: and historical boundaries and all of that other stuff that
Speaker 1: keeps academia up at night, perumpting and pipe puffing into pipes.
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is Ukraine was invaded by Russia.
Speaker 1: Ukraine is the aggrieved party. But Ukraine, for very very long,
Speaker 1: long before Zelensky showed up on stage, was a gold
Speaker 1: mine for American politicians. There was more US money coming
Speaker 1: in and going out of Ukraine than virtually any other
Speaker 1: country in that area of the world. But Zelenski declared
Speaker 1: martial law and says there will be no elections. Well,
Speaker 1: one of the things that Trump wants is he wants
Speaker 1: presidential elections in the Ukraine. There's it's a given. If
Speaker 1: you want American dollars, if you want us to support
Speaker 1: your country in whatever need it is, country has to
Speaker 1: have some semblance of a democracy. Otherwise what's the point
Speaker 1: of sending money. And part of a democracy is you
Speaker 1: hold free and fair and open elections. Now, the thinking was, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Russia is going to interfere in those elections.
Speaker 1: You know they will. Well, let's not forget that Zelensky
Speaker 1: was a Russian favorite back in twenty nineteen, So sure
Speaker 1: they're going to interfere. Maybe you send monitors. Jimmy Carter
Speaker 1: was always a big booster of that send monitors. He
Speaker 1: was personally involved in monitoring elections in South America and
Speaker 1: other third world countries. You could send monitors along with money.
Speaker 1: But that's one of the precepts that Trump wants as
Speaker 1: part of this negotiated settlement. Now, Zelenski is all bent
Speaker 1: out of shape because he thinks that Trump is cow
Speaker 1: telling to Russia. But let's face it, the first thing
Speaker 1: you got to confront is Russia, and why did you
Speaker 1: go into Ukraine in the first place. And what the
Speaker 1: hell do you think you're going to do if we,
Speaker 1: excuse me, if we continue to send money to the Ukraine,
Speaker 1: what are you What are you gonna do? You're gonna
Speaker 1: keep fighting? What are you gonna do if we don't
Speaker 1: send any more money to Ukraine? So this's all all
Speaker 1: things like that are in play because all you and
Speaker 1: all you ever you see in the media, and this
Speaker 1: morning again, I'm flipping through and I'm watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox,
Speaker 1: and you pretty much know what you're going to get
Speaker 1: with Fox. You're going to get a decided Donald Trump
Speaker 1: angle with ms NB, ms NBC. Is it's that that
Speaker 1: that network is just a collection of hysterical people anymore.
Speaker 1: CNN is trying, but they can't get over At TDS,
Speaker 1: they still have it and it has permeated their their organization.
Speaker 1: But they're all they're all been out of shape that
Speaker 1: Trump has a called Zelenski a dictator. I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: done that, but again, this is Trump's show, so he's
Speaker 1: he's going to do it the way he wants to
Speaker 1: do it. And they're all bent out of shape because well,
Speaker 1: because their guy is Zelenski and the meaning he doesn't
Speaker 1: want Ukraine to hold elections because they want to prop
Speaker 1: up Zelenski because that's their martyr figure. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because whatever Trump does is going to get them upset.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't I don't normally look at
Speaker 1: this stuff, but I just for the for grins today,
Speaker 1: I thought, who's actually watching cable television news? Because I
Speaker 1: think a lot of what's going on in cable television
Speaker 1: has been overshadowed by other platforms, certainly platforms on X
Speaker 1: and YouTube and places like that. I just for grins,
Speaker 1: I called up the ratings of February thirteenth, so what
Speaker 1: day would that have been? Last Thursday. We could go today. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's just start. Let's the Fox dominates up until six
Speaker 1: o'clock and then they have a news hour with Prett Behar.
Speaker 1: It's watching that show is like you know, watching cows
Speaker 1: fall over in the field. It's boring. But nevertheless, that
Speaker 1: show on Fox beats what's on CNN by more than
Speaker 1: two to one, and by more than three to one
Speaker 1: what's on MSNBC. And then you get into their primetime lineup,
Speaker 1: lower Ingram, Jesse Waters, Sean, Hannity, and Guttfeld. They just
Speaker 1: wipe the floor on what's going on in the other networks.
Speaker 1: So nobody is really watching CNN and NBC. And that's
Speaker 1: the saving grace because they have some desires, some feeling,
Speaker 1: some belief that they really have to go off the
Speaker 1: deep end about Trump to attract viewers, and obviously it's
Speaker 1: not working. In fact, this is this is the height
Speaker 1: of I found the height of in So. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you go to New York or if you
Speaker 1: know anything about New York City, Manhattan. I used to
Speaker 1: go there a lot when I was younger. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: go there now I think New York is just a
Speaker 1: it's just a pit. I mean, I don't care about
Speaker 1: entertainment and sports and all that. I just wouldn't go
Speaker 1: to New York City, not at least voluntarily. So they
Speaker 1: got this, this toll that the Governor of New York
Speaker 1: imposed on motorists. It went into effect January fifth, and basically,
Speaker 1: if you drive your car in Manhattan, in and around
Speaker 1: Central Park, you will automatically be charged a nine dollars
Speaker 1: toll on your car. They have cameras that can take
Speaker 1: pictures of license plates and whatnot. Now understand, if you
Speaker 1: drive your car into Manhattan, it's not the most pleasant experience.
Speaker 1: If you drive there and try to park, it is
Speaker 1: extremely expensive. Let's say you're going to go into the UK,
Speaker 1: you're going to take a Broadway show in whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. You're probably paying for that evening just to
Speaker 1: park your car somewhere around seventy seventy five dollars and
Speaker 1: that that may not be all that accurate anymore anyway,
Speaker 1: but I think the last time I went in there
Speaker 1: to put a car in a lot, it was like
Speaker 1: seventy five bucks. So the governor, because she wants to
Speaker 1: cut down on the amount of traffic inside Manhattan, in
Speaker 1: her infinite wisdom. Kathy Hochel has a job only because
Speaker 1: they ran Cuomo out. Kathy Hokeel imposes this nine dollars toll. Well,
Speaker 1: Trump said, I'm getting rid of that. It's ridiculous. It's stupid.
Speaker 1: First of all, you're taxing the people that not only
Speaker 1: work there, but live there, and that's the economy. What
Speaker 1: sense does that make? And so he with an executive
Speaker 1: order just wiped it out yesterday and he put on
Speaker 1: Twitter this was hilarious. Congestion pricing is dead. In all
Speaker 1: capital letters, Manhattan and all of New York is saved,
Speaker 1: Trump wrote, adding in capital letters, long live the King.
Speaker 1: What do you figure the media hopped on the amount
Speaker 1: of money that he's saving commuters and people that go
Speaker 1: in there for a good time or have to go
Speaker 1: in there to work. No, no, they hop on. Trump
Speaker 1: called himself the king. That's how these idiots in the
Speaker 1: media work, and they are They have to be stupid,
Speaker 1: they have to be or so blinded by ideology that
Speaker 1: they can't see straight. So that's all I saw this morning.
Speaker 1: What I was flipping through is Trump calls himself the king,
Speaker 1: not the fact that he saved or is saving a
Speaker 1: lot of money for people that have to go in
Speaker 1: there and work. Now, Hochel claims she's going to fight
Speaker 1: this in court. Now, just think about this. You're going
Speaker 1: to go to court and you're going to fight so
Speaker 1: that more money can be extracted from the people that
Speaker 1: you represent. Think about that. This is this is what
Speaker 1: I find absolutely baffling. The hill that Democrats are willing
Speaker 1: to die on right now is just absolutely baffling. Immigration.
Speaker 1: Trump says he wants to stop taxpayers funding for illegal migrants.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are fighting them on this for illegal migrants.
Speaker 1: He wants to stop taxpayer funding for illegal migrants. He
Speaker 1: wants to make sure that people who have been dead
Speaker 1: are not collecting Social Security anymore. He wants to make
Speaker 1: sure that the money that you you will your due,
Speaker 1: that you paid into goes to you and not some
Speaker 1: dead guy. Well, it's probably going to his family or somebody.
Speaker 1: It's on the books, it's going somewhere. And now, this
Speaker 1: whole thing, this country operates, and it's always operated best
Speaker 1: when there were two parties of sound thinking, perhaps opposing viewpoints,
Speaker 1: that could argue a point to a place where common
Speaker 1: ground could be found, and therefore we would have things legislation, rules, regulations,
Speaker 1: funding betterment for our lives. But we don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1: We got people dying on hills to tax more money.
Speaker 1: They've got people dying on hills, so illegal immigrants can
Speaker 1: get your get your tax dollars. It's it's it's mind boggling.
Speaker 1: And playing right along with it is the media playing
Speaker 1: right along with it. So what's the solution. Believe who
Speaker 1: you want to believe, watch you want to watch, do
Speaker 1: all of that. It's a free society. You do it,
Speaker 1: I do it. But make your own mind up. Don't
Speaker 1: fall into some ideology that you know whoa this is
Speaker 1: what you know, This is what so and so on
Speaker 1: this network said, so this must be right, you know,
Speaker 1: forget about that. Plus they're trying to ginua up anyway,
Speaker 1: whether it's Fox, MSNBC, or CE, and they're trying to
Speaker 1: ginua up. So you get so foamed at the mouth
Speaker 1: that you can't do anything else. Run off some people
Speaker 1: that you love, maybe lose some friends. Don't play the game.
Speaker 1: It's not worth it, Absolutely not worth it. Twelve fifty
Speaker 1: two News Radio seven hundred WLW all right, what a way?
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred W welw the average American in
Speaker 1: for the great American on this Thursday. Great to have
Speaker 1: you with us as we pressed on through today. Watched
Speaker 1: UC play last night for a frustrating game to watch,
Speaker 1: made it interesting at the end, but that seemed to
Speaker 1: me to be a game that had they won, we
Speaker 1: legitimately could have been having a conversation right now as
Speaker 1: to whether or not they have a chance to make
Speaker 1: the field of sixty eight. Now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1: Still some basketball left to be played. This is a
Speaker 1: team when it's playing well, is good when it has
Speaker 1: all of its players like Lukocius. You know, when they
Speaker 1: have those guys Steve, looks like it's got some promise.
Speaker 1: But not last night, not last night at all. And
Speaker 1: you know it was right there to win, right there,
Speaker 1: to win, they had to lead, what with eight minutes
Speaker 1: to go, nine minutes to go? Anyway, watch some of
Speaker 1: that last night. Of course, tonight it's the hockey game
Speaker 1: USA against Canada. This will be it's different eras and
Speaker 1: different different situations. Say Russia nineteen eighty miracle on ice
Speaker 1: game will always be, in my opinion, the most impressive,
Speaker 1: the most remembered sporting event in my life. There was
Speaker 1: nothing else that even comes in second place, World Series,
Speaker 1: NFL championships, those things come and go, but at that
Speaker 1: point where we were from a society, from a country,
Speaker 1: and what that game meant, that was it for me.
Speaker 1: Tonight is going to be something like that. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to generate a lot of non hockey fans
Speaker 1: tuning in. I don't think it equals what last Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Canada US offered us with three fights inside of
Speaker 1: the first nine seconds. But I just have a feeling
Speaker 1: that this is going to be something special tonight. So again,
Speaker 1: as I like to say, plan your viewing accordingly. Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: President Trump Trump forty five, Trump forty seven is a
Speaker 1: little upset that the ice roundups and detentions are not
Speaker 1: going as quickly as he would like, and because of
Speaker 1: that slow pace, Trump has demoted a couple of top
Speaker 1: ice officials, not Tom Homan. Homan is his guy. Homan
Speaker 1: is the guy that is the front guy, the face
Speaker 1: guy for these these arrest and deportations. NBC News, and
Speaker 1: again be careful with NBC, but NBC News has a
Speaker 1: story right now on its website that that Trump, while
Speaker 1: promising to prioritize the quote unquote worst first when it
Speaker 1: comes to arrest and deportations, that in actuality, the number
Speaker 1: of detainees in ice custody without criminal convictions or pending
Speaker 1: criminal charges have increased by more than eighteen hundred in
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of this month. Forty one
Speaker 1: percent of the forty four hundred plus total of new
Speaker 1: DAYTEA detainees in that period are those without criminal records
Speaker 1: or any kind of criminal charges pending. So does that
Speaker 1: make a difference. I mean, if you're here illegally, you're
Speaker 1: here illegally. But Homan was supposed to be going after
Speaker 1: just the worst of the worst. Now was this residual?
Speaker 1: Were these people caught up in the wash? Don't know.
Speaker 1: During the fiscal year, the federal fiscal year of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, the Biden administration made just over one hundred
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand dollars one hundred thirteen thousand dollars one hundred
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand immigration arrests, and of those only twenty eight
Speaker 1: percent were people with no criminal convictions. So what's going
Speaker 1: on here? How is Homan performing? And what happens when
Speaker 1: he gets into places like Massachusetts, Colorado, California or Washington State,
Speaker 1: where the local authorities there don't want anything to do
Speaker 1: with ICE or their ability to do their work. Standing
Speaker 1: by the way in on this is someone who is
Speaker 1: well versed in what ICE is all about and what's
Speaker 1: going on with Holman. Lee wams Gans is works works
Speaker 1: for an agency that you might have heard of, is
Speaker 1: called Patriot Mobile Action. She is the spokeswoman for Patriot
Speaker 1: Mobile Action, actually the chief communications officer of Patriot Mobile Action.
Speaker 1: And I asked Lee to join us here today to
Speaker 1: try and get some perspective as to what's going on here,
Speaker 1: because when you only listen to your cable news channel
Speaker 1: of choice, you only get just the way they want
Speaker 1: to present it, not necessarily with what is true. So
Speaker 1: let's find out. Lee wams Gans, how are you on
Speaker 1: this glorious day.
Speaker 3: I'm great, I'm great. I think we're all cold, but
Speaker 3: we're all hanging in there.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, you know what's coming spring and that'll solve everything.
Speaker 1: That'll solve everything. So when Donald Trump was campaigning, he
Speaker 1: promised that he was going to get the criminal aliens
Speaker 1: out of our streets, out of our country, and he
Speaker 1: put Tom Homan in charge. This was a campaign promise.
Speaker 1: What is occurring right now with Tom Holman and Ice
Speaker 1: should be a surprise to absolutely no one that we
Speaker 1: were told you vote for Trump, this is coming. Nobody
Speaker 1: should be surprised by this right well.
Speaker 3: And in Texas, some of our biggest flip counties are
Speaker 3: the Hispanic population counties on the southern border, and those
Speaker 3: are the counties that have been brutalized by violent illegal aliens.
Speaker 3: Tom Homan talked about this weekend that since he and
Speaker 3: Trump have come into office and done the job that
Speaker 3: we elected them to do, that border crossings are down
Speaker 3: ninety percent.
Speaker 1: Then why then is there this great resistance in these
Speaker 1: sanctuary cities. Boston would come immediately to mind, but Chicago
Speaker 1: was right there with it, and then of course you've
Speaker 1: got California, which never disappoints. But why would there be
Speaker 1: resistance if they know they're coming. What's the endgame here
Speaker 1: for these Democrat run cities and states that would resist
Speaker 1: rounding up these guys and women Ice I suppose to
Speaker 1: and getting them out of the country because they run
Speaker 1: the risk of doing more damage inside the cities these people.
Speaker 3: Govern, these people have blood on their hands. These local
Speaker 3: and state governments refusing to cooperate with ICE should face
Speaker 3: federal consequences. They're prioritizing illegal aliens, violent criminal illegal aliens
Speaker 3: over law abiding citizens. Just last week in New York City,
Speaker 3: a transmigrant was charged with raping a fourteen year old
Speaker 3: boy in a New York City bathroom. Now, this guy,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to call a guy an address a
Speaker 3: girl because he's not. This guy was already wanted in
Speaker 3: New Jersey and Massachusetts. He already had an ICE attainer.
Speaker 3: But because of these sanctuary cities in these counties and
Speaker 3: some states, this person was still out free.
Speaker 4: These people have blood on their hands.
Speaker 1: I think to some of them, it's a game. I
Speaker 1: think to some of these people, it's a game. Let's
Speaker 1: see how far we can keep Musk and Trump away
Speaker 1: from us. And then if I become the hero and
Speaker 1: they can't get to me, then I rise to the
Speaker 1: top of whatever I want to rise to the top of. Politically,
Speaker 1: the governor of New Jersey who said that he is
Speaker 1: housing an illegal immigrant in the inside his garage would
Speaker 1: come immediately to mind. I believe the guy's name is Murphy.
Speaker 1: I sense to a lot of these these democrats that
Speaker 1: are that are dying on this hill, that this is
Speaker 1: some sort of game, like some Parner game.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that Trump is going to trump that
Speaker 3: game and aiding in a betting, conspiracy aiding a betting.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the federal criminal Code right now. This
Speaker 3: is a federal crime. And my money is on Trump
Speaker 3: and borders are home. And you know he said this
Speaker 3: weekend that these sanctuary cities are not going to stop him,
Speaker 3: that he's coming in no matter what, and that he
Speaker 3: is going to do the job that he was brought
Speaker 3: in to do.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you another thing that I worry about, Lee,
Speaker 1: maybe you do too, is the people that are placed
Speaker 1: in the middle of all of this. When you have
Speaker 1: Homan going in to get these thugs out of these cities,
Speaker 1: the people that are placed in the middle of all
Speaker 1: of this are the local law enforcement, the state cops,
Speaker 1: the city cops, the county cops, who obviously answer to
Speaker 1: someone other than Tom Holman, but are taking direct orders
Speaker 1: from those people the governor, for example in Illinois. Christ
Speaker 1: and I worry about the local law enforcement because they're
Speaker 1: placed in an untenable situation.
Speaker 3: Aren't they They really are, and it's very dangerous for everyone,
Speaker 3: including the officers, including the community.
Speaker 4: This weekend on Fox, Tom Holman.
Speaker 3: Talked about it's less efficient to arrest a bad guy
Speaker 3: in the public where he's hiding from us and they're
Speaker 3: trying to arrest him on his turf, rather than arrest
Speaker 3: him in the county jail where the good cops have
Speaker 3: taken him and turned him over to ICE and he
Speaker 3: has an ICE detainer where an agent can just go
Speaker 3: in get them and start the deportation process. So it's
Speaker 3: dangerous to the police officers, it's dangerous to the community,
Speaker 3: and it also costs a lot more money. You know,
Speaker 3: ICE is funding. I think they're trying to wear out
Speaker 3: ICES funding. It's a lot easier for you know, a
Speaker 3: couple of officers to go get a guy under an
Speaker 3: IS retainer that's sitting in in jail, then send a
Speaker 3: whole team into a stash house to go get them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, I don't understand what the endgame is here,
Speaker 1: because I take Chicago for an example. Chicago to me
Speaker 1: is like the poster city for all of this sanctuary
Speaker 1: city stuff. You're taking people into your town willfully, the
Speaker 1: politicians are willfully, the mayor is in particular, and you're
Speaker 1: putting them in a situation where they can do harm
Speaker 1: to your constituents that you serve that elected you. I
Speaker 1: don't understand the thinking there. I thought, you know, at
Speaker 1: one point, there was this thought that this would be
Speaker 1: replacement theory, that these aliens would command, they would replace
Speaker 1: the people that have fled Illinois because they didn't want
Speaker 1: to put up with this nonsense anymore. And then therefore
Speaker 1: there would be some sort of dispensation and everybody in
Speaker 1: this country that came in illegally would be able to
Speaker 1: become citizens automatically and vote automatically, and therefore help one
Speaker 1: party keep and retain power. I thought that at some point,
Speaker 1: But even that doesn't make sense. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what the endgame is with a guy who runs the
Speaker 1: city of Chicago that allows this stuff to go on.
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea.
Speaker 3: I think the process here is that conservatives needs to
Speaker 3: stop trying to understand this extreme liberal left because there
Speaker 3: is no cognitive, logical explanation for what they're doing.
Speaker 4: I think it's pure evil.
Speaker 3: I think it goes back to politics as non a
Speaker 3: political war, as a spiritual war. It's pure evil, and
Speaker 3: these people could care less about Walkee's violent illegal aliens
Speaker 3: are doing to their citizenry as long as they see some.
Speaker 4: Sort of political win. Our political win.
Speaker 3: Is trying to get these people to come in and
Speaker 3: vote Democrat and keep them in office. And we're seeing
Speaker 3: with Doge why they want to stay in office When
Speaker 3: we're dealing with hundreds of billions. What we will see
Speaker 3: is trillions of dollars going into their pockets. So I
Speaker 3: think that's their endgame, and I think it's evil, and
Speaker 3: I think it's cruel, and I think they need to
Speaker 3: face federal consequences.
Speaker 4: You know, AOC I thought she.
Speaker 3: Would be smart and tell Tom Homan to it that
Speaker 3: he needs to read the constitutional. Tom Homan slapped back
Speaker 3: real quickly that he's forgotten more about the Constitution that she's.
Speaker 4: Ever learned, and she needs to learn.
Speaker 3: The criminal code because her harboring illegal aliens is a
Speaker 3: federal crime, and I think she should be held criminally
Speaker 3: liable for that.
Speaker 1: But you know what's going to happen. She's going to
Speaker 1: get reelected. These people that are affected most by what's
Speaker 1: going on in these cities like New York City, in Boston,
Speaker 1: in Chicago, they keep said of the same people back
Speaker 1: to office. For the life of me, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Because the people that are voting, the people that can
Speaker 1: legally vote, that are here legally, that are voting citizens,
Speaker 1: they keep sending these same people back to office. I
Speaker 1: don't get that. It's almost a death wish it is.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is. I don't get that either.
Speaker 3: I will say that some hearts and minds are being changed,
Speaker 3: like the southern counties in Texas that have not voted
Speaker 3: Republican in over one hundred years, that in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four did vote Republican again. These are heavily Hispanic populated
Speaker 3: majority cities and they voted for Trump. And the number
Speaker 3: one reason, the top two reasons. Number one is their
Speaker 3: communities are getting brutalized by these very violent cartels. Number
Speaker 3: two is when you can't buy groceries for your family
Speaker 3: or pay to keep a roof over your head, you
Speaker 3: start to question your political leanings. So I mean that's
Speaker 3: where we are we are starting. We need a lot more.
Speaker 3: We need outreach into those communities, and we need to
Speaker 3: make sure people realize the death and destruction that's caused
Speaker 3: by violent illegal alilllions being able to run free from
Speaker 3: an open border policies of the Biden Harris administration, Tom
Speaker 3: Homan and President Trump. Texas like this borders is our
Speaker 3: home and is our hero right now, man, because because
Speaker 3: we just can't take this. You know, our entire state
Speaker 3: is eleven million p I mean, he's thirty million people
Speaker 3: and we've had documented eleven million coming over. That's a
Speaker 3: third of our state and that doesn't include that got
Speaker 3: a waste. It's out of control. It's been out of control,
Speaker 3: and we are all very happy about what's happening to
Speaker 3: start to have some common sense with this illegal alien crime.
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got.
Speaker 3: Trenday Rodwood taking over apartment complexes. It's just insane now
Speaker 3: saying that no one should sigh a breath of relief.
Speaker 3: We have just begne, just begne. We have to stay strong,
Speaker 3: we have to keep working, and we have to keep
Speaker 3: winning elections on our side to push back this insanity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I said this four years
Speaker 1: ago that initially it was a Texas problem and it
Speaker 1: was going to become a problem for everybody because the
Speaker 1: people that were coming into this country, flooding this country
Speaker 1: illegally from the southern border because of Biden and Mayorcis.
Speaker 1: Initially it was a Texas problem. Now it's all over
Speaker 1: the country where schools are being strained, hospitals are being strained.
Speaker 1: There was absolutely no mechanism, none in place to deal
Speaker 1: with this other than let's open the door and let
Speaker 1: everybody in. It was absolutely astounding to watch, and of
Speaker 1: course one party had control and that's what they wanted,
Speaker 1: and now we're left with the residual effect. Lee Wamskan's
Speaker 1: chief communication officer is whether it's for Patriot MOBILELC. She's
Speaker 1: also a founding board member and executive director of Patriot
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile Action. All right, you know what's coming next.
Speaker 1: In fact, we've seen it a little bit, but not
Speaker 1: to any great degree. What's coming next is going to
Speaker 1: be the pictures on local television and national television children
Speaker 1: being pulled from parents and screaming and crying and immediately
Speaker 1: trying to go to the heartstrings of America, which is
Speaker 1: what the media does best. Lee, I spent forty five
Speaker 1: years in local television. I know how the game is played.
Speaker 1: And you put somebody on TV that's crying, or put
Speaker 1: somebody on TV that looks like they're a victim and immediately,
Speaker 1: you're going to get people that sympathize. That's what's coming next.
Speaker 1: The syncophants in the media are going to start covering
Speaker 1: this in a very slanted way. So what should Americans
Speaker 1: that can actually think and not react do when they
Speaker 1: see these things that are coming from their local television sets.
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm already seeing some of that, And here's
Speaker 3: my response to that. We have created through open borders
Speaker 3: and an industrial human trafficking complex that's victimizing those children,
Speaker 3: and the most compassionate thing we can do is close
Speaker 3: our border. Says that the cartel industry, sex trade, human
Speaker 3: trafficking trade is down because those women and children that
Speaker 3: are crying are the ones that are in cages in
Speaker 3: Karen County in a drug cartel stash house.
Speaker 4: So that's the reality of that situation. But again, as you.
Speaker 3: Said, liberals don't think logically, don't see things like that.
Speaker 3: The people that have some sort of logic and reason
Speaker 3: and conservative values need to keep reminding them of that.
Speaker 3: And when we shut down this industrial human trafficking complex,
Speaker 3: then the world will be a nicer place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, one can hope home it is so far,
Speaker 1: I think he's done a terrific job. He seems to
Speaker 1: have cart launch with Trump. But you know, lawsuits are coming,
Speaker 1: so we'll see exactly what happens when this thing winds
Speaker 1: up in court. But you know, lawsuits are coming, right.
Speaker 4: They certainly are.
Speaker 3: It's a good thing that we have the federal criminal
Speaker 3: Code and the Constitution on our side. I think we're
Speaker 3: going to win those lawsuits because our national sovereignty is
Speaker 3: not something that we're going to let people take away
Speaker 3: from us.
Speaker 1: Well, Lee, I'll tell you what this is. Uh, this
Speaker 1: has been good, it's been enlightening, and I want to
Speaker 1: do this again. Can I hang on to your phone number?
Speaker 1: Will that be all right?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Let's do it. Great talking to you kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, Wam's gone. She is with Patriot Mobile and
Speaker 1: she's on it. She's dead on this thing. All right, Lee,
Speaker 1: you have a great rest of the day and we
Speaker 1: will visit down the road.
Speaker 4: Thanks you too, God, Glad.
Speaker 1: No, thank you. And uh, you know there have been
Speaker 1: some leaks inside of ICE that have hindered some operations
Speaker 1: and DHS. Now Christy Nome, former governor Christy Nome, said, look,
Speaker 1: we got to do a polygraph test to find out
Speaker 1: where the leaks are coming from We're going to do it.
Speaker 1: They can and they will. So when it comes to this,
Speaker 1: Trump means business. It also remains to be seen if
Speaker 1: that business winds up in court. We do live in
Speaker 1: a litigious society, if you haven't noticed one seven News Radio,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. Great moments.
Speaker 5: Are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have
Speaker 5: here tonight. Boys, that's what you've earned here tonight.
Speaker 1: One game.
Speaker 5: If we played them ten times, they might win nine.
Speaker 1: But not this game, not tonight. Tonight.
Speaker 6: We skate with them.
Speaker 5: Tonight, we stay with them, and we shut them down
Speaker 5: because we can.
Speaker 1: Tonight.
Speaker 7: Hell helloquets, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: God, you were born to be hockey players. SEG.
Speaker 8: Tonight's night big ken Brew Four Nations Championship, us A,
Speaker 8: the United States, the Canada.
Speaker 1: SEG. Would you say this is the biggest hockey game
Speaker 1: since the Miracle on Ice? Yes? I think it will
Speaker 1: be too. I hope we're not disappointed because I don't
Speaker 1: think we're going to get three fights in the first
Speaker 1: nine seconds.
Speaker 8: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think we're going to get a fight
Speaker 1: in the first nine seconds.
Speaker 8: No, like the like yeah, No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: And somebody's hurt, right, somebody like is in a hospital
Speaker 1: that plays for the USA. But Jarnie McAvoy I think
Speaker 1: is in the hospital. It's upper body injury. But they've
Speaker 1: got you know, they've got firepower. The United States has firepower.
Speaker 1: And I will see what happens. Sid the kid though,
Speaker 1: is playing for Canada.
Speaker 8: He's Eric Connor McDavid for Canada. And Nathan mccannon watch
Speaker 8: out for him.
Speaker 1: Good player. Yep. But I'm telling you say, there's something
Speaker 1: about this team. There's something about this USA team. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Kochuck brothers, right, Matthew and Bratt Brady, right, yep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: their dad, Keith Kochuk, played in the National Hockey League.
Speaker 8: That's correct.
Speaker 1: But there was a guy that played in the National
Speaker 1: Hockey League back in the sixties and seventies. His name
Speaker 1: was spelled the same way, but his name was pronounced
Speaker 1: Tate Chuck. What happened why, I don't understand. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But they went to pronounce names dot com pronounced names
Speaker 1: dot com. Yeah, they probably didn't have that announced. Say
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm fired up about this game that I
Speaker 1: should be something else. I want to go somewhere and
Speaker 1: watch it. I like to go to Boston and watch it,
Speaker 1: but I know you can't get a ticket.
Speaker 8: Well, they're and they're also telling the United you know,
Speaker 8: the people there to uh not boo the Canadian national
Speaker 8: anthem like the Canadians booed the USA anthem and uh

Speaker 1: do something nothing.
Speaker 8: Yep, And we.
Speaker 1: Got crazy at the end. And the score wasn't as
Speaker 1: indicative as the game. I mean it just a West
Speaker 1: Virginia got sloppy with the ball at the end. But
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this team. They got to lead. All
Speaker 1: they gotta do is just keep playing the game the
Speaker 1: way they've been playing it.
Speaker 8: Eric Hat's now fifteen and eleven and five and ten

Speaker 1: Think West can compete with USA Canada. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I think so either. I think I think you see
Speaker 1: that that last night. I think that might have been it.
Speaker 1: If they they beat West Virginia last night, All things possible.
Speaker 1: I I I mean, what are they five and ten? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And the Big twelve?
Speaker 8: Yeah, and the horn Frogs come to town. The home

Speaker 1: Seven hundred of them? Nice numbers.
Speaker 8: Soccer Pavel Bucca two goals, Evander and Kevin Denke with

Speaker 8: Honduras f C Montagua four to one last night in
Speaker 8: the Champions Cup. So they will play here next week
Speaker 8: next Wednesday against a freezer opponent, and the MLS opener
Speaker 8: is Saturday night against the New York Red Bulls.
Speaker 1: We have Pat Noonan on the line right here. He
Speaker 1: wanted to weigh in on Pabel Buko's two goals last night.
Speaker 1: Can we take it? Seg right ahead, And.
Speaker 9: That was one of Pavel's strongest games, aside from the
Speaker 9: goals which he took well. I thought with the ball,
Speaker 9: very composed, connected great passes and defensively put in a
Speaker 9: really good shift there.
Speaker 1: We go, you say we play it.
Speaker 8: Red's getting ready for that Cactus League opener Saturday. There
Speaker 8: ken brew the action here on seven hundred WLW, Hunter

Speaker 8: Milwaukee versus the Guardians. I guess with you know Francona's.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, he doesn't want to he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to face his old team.
Speaker 8: And how about this too much emotion? How about this
Speaker 8: a new approach to bunting and Arizona. Oh yeah, the Reds.
Speaker 8: They're supposed to catch the ball with your bat. Yes, sure,
Speaker 8: they're catching the ball with a lacrosse stick to get
Speaker 8: it right? Are they going to be able to do?
Speaker 8: They stink, They stink and try to bunt.
Speaker 1: Do you honestly think they're going to do that at
Speaker 1: Great American Ballpark? He's you going to send them up
Speaker 1: there with a lacrosse stick? Yeah, try something else. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're going to have automatic gumpires. Why not fool them?
Speaker 1: Why don't you just send them up there with like
Speaker 1: a drain pipe? You know it's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I have to call them. You know, players don't want
Speaker 1: to bump. Players don't. They don't bunt. They view it
Speaker 1: as a wasted at bat. Right, Their agents tell them
Speaker 1: it's a wasted a bat. Don't do it. That's why
Speaker 1: they all they don't. They behave like they can't do it.
Speaker 1: Bunting is very easy, Wescott. The ball come in and
Speaker 1: you just cradle it.
Speaker 8: College football of Wisconsin coach Luke Fickle is receiving a
Speaker 8: one year contract extension for what and now runs through

Speaker 1: going to come after you eventually and get rid of you.
Speaker 1: All right, ken Brew, I'm sorry. The Trumpster is trying
Speaker 1: to end the Ukraine Russian War. Yeah, he's trying to
Speaker 1: end everything else. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Now, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, Tiger Woods, and Adam
Speaker 8: Scott are meeting with officials at the White House today
Speaker 8: and the tour hopes in another step of you reunifying
Speaker 8: men's professional golf.
Speaker 1: Trump just wants golf tips. He's got he's got a
Speaker 1: wedge problem exactly, and he's gonna he wants to work
Speaker 1: on his wedge plays.
Speaker 8: Why not, why not go? You know, you know what,
Speaker 8: you know what, that's what Baseball ought to do. Baseball
Speaker 8: ought to go and say, you know what, we want
Speaker 8: to revenue sharing deal like the NFL.
Speaker 1: The Trump sort will get it done. You know what,
Speaker 1: he's the president if he wants a few golf tips
Speaker 1: in there, and why not, He's gonna say, live, look,
Speaker 1: nobody's watching you. Okay, there was a nice idea. Nobody cares.
Speaker 1: He's gonna look at the PGA Tour. He's gonna say,
Speaker 1: PGA Tour some of your best players are over and live.
Speaker 1: The only time anybody pays attention to the PGA Tour
Speaker 1: is when you have a major tournament like the Masters.
Speaker 1: Other than that, when it's like the you know, the Hyundai,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 8: Except for the Waste Management Open, that's funny.
Speaker 1: That's funny. But if it but if it's like the Hyundai,
Speaker 1: you know, under the engine, you know, Classic in Tucson, Arizona,
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Nobody cares, Nobody watches except the golf freaks,
Speaker 1: and the golf freaks are all gathered inside their country
Speaker 1: club getting drunk around one television set watching it. How
Speaker 1: do you know because I have been there?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Willie invited you over to Kenwood.
Speaker 1: No, I've never been invited to ken Wood, and he's
Speaker 1: going to get invited in my seg, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The whole world's out of whacks. I don't know, ken Brew.
Speaker 8: Let's get back, Let's get the Trumpster to get us
Speaker 8: back on track, and you know, like the golf is
Speaker 8: going to the White House.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a questions, Seg. This just dawned
Speaker 1: on me this morning as I was getting dressed. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, you think about things when you get dressed.
Speaker 1: You ever noticed that some of your best ideas come
Speaker 1: when you're slipping clothes on.
Speaker 8: That's for sure.
Speaker 1: Well it does for me. Yeah, And I was thinking
Speaker 1: about this. So there's a there are people right now,
Speaker 1: the shakers and movers in Cincinnati. They want to build
Speaker 1: a new arena downtown. Have you heard this? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: heard it. Yeah, you know Jeff Birding apparently is involved
Speaker 1: in this in some way. Yeah, all right, So so anyway,
Speaker 1: they want to get this new arena bill.
Speaker 8: Right across from what the district won in the music hall.
Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, let's put everything up there. And and so, uh,
Speaker 1: they want to build this arena, okay, and my my
Speaker 1: first question is always to do what?
Speaker 2: And for what.
Speaker 1: Are they going to have like a team in there?
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not going to build a new arena
Speaker 1: for the cyclones. They can't even put they they can't
Speaker 1: fill up a quarter of the arena they got right now? Right,
Speaker 1: what do you what?
Speaker 8: That's why they should have the gardens still around? Ken Brew? Well,
Speaker 8: I'm just the gardens was perfect for the cyclones.
Speaker 1: Do you think you're going Do you think you're going
Speaker 1: to lure gigantic concerts here? Do you think you're going
Speaker 1: to get an NBA franchise. Do you think you're going
Speaker 1: to get an NHL franchise? What what are you doing here?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 8: The thing is they missed all these big concerts, that's
Speaker 8: the thing. But you can't have I mean, you know
Speaker 8: how many of those are going to come here a year?
Speaker 8: They all go to Riverbend. Sega came up with an
Speaker 8: idea here about the whole thing. So this is what
Speaker 8: I think the brewview. Okay, this is what I think
Speaker 8: they ought to do. Buy the So build the arena, right, Okay,
Speaker 8: build the arena. You get the arena, and you don't
Speaker 8: go after you don't go after any teams. You don't
Speaker 8: go after NHL, NHL, ANBA, you don't go after any
Speaker 8: of that.
Speaker 1: What you do is you become the mecca. And what
Speaker 1: the mecca is is every single team has to play
Speaker 1: one game inside the mecca. So you don't necessarily need
Speaker 1: a franchise. You just have to have these teams come
Speaker 1: down here, you know, Columbus against the Rangers, Winnipeg against Florida,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and they play in there. And what
Speaker 1: happens then is I know what you're thinking, what happens then,
Speaker 1: is you turn that whole area down there into a
Speaker 1: carnival like atmosphere every night when they have games at
Speaker 1: the Mecca, it's Rio Dasian Arrow. You have parades, you
Speaker 1: have costume women in boas. You know, you got guys
Speaker 1: that are like banging symbols and things like that, big
Speaker 1: parades through the streets. You have all the restaurants out
Speaker 1: down there opening up, the bars are just open. It
Speaker 1: becomes in essence of carnival atmosphere. And you can do
Speaker 1: this without a team. All you need remember is each
Speaker 1: team has to play there once. What should become then
Speaker 1: is party central for about five months every year. That's
Speaker 1: how they can do it without having to go out
Speaker 1: and get a tenant. I'm excited. I'm not bad. Well
Speaker 1: you get you know, you got hockey one night, NBA
Speaker 1: the next night.
Speaker 8: Right, all of a sudden is if they get an
Speaker 8: NBA or hockey team here, they're gonna stink for a while.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you could, you could. You could. If
Speaker 1: you want to think big, call me. But if you
Speaker 1: want to think big, that's the way you think. Okay,
Speaker 1: ken Brew and Associates. I'm just saying this is what
Speaker 1: I taught. This is what I talked to myself about
Speaker 1: today when I was slipping on my socks.
Speaker 8: He's wondering what the topic is going to be tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see what happens if I wake
Speaker 1: up at my age.
Speaker 7: I never know.
Speaker 1: Say, get us out of the Stooge Report. I got
Speaker 1: a guy coming on here who's gonna tell us why
Speaker 1: gen Z has telephobia. They can't talk on the telephone.
Speaker 1: Bill text, but they can't talk on the telephone. Ken
Speaker 1: Brew and on her another cold day here in the
Speaker 1: tri State. We leave you and go us a. We
Speaker 1: leave you with the immortal words of the Stood Report.
Speaker 7: You know this man, I ain't never gonna be the
Speaker 7: guy that stands up and makes damn excuses like I
Speaker 7: ain't ever gonna do it.
Speaker 8: I just anybody that follows our program.
Speaker 1: It'll never happen.
Speaker 7: Okay, no matter how frustrated and pissed off I am,
Speaker 7: it ain't ever happening. Never gonna make excuses, but I'll
Speaker 7: talk about challenges. So don't get the two damn things confused.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's Wes Miller. That's Wes Miller.
Speaker 8: You know we've had to dump him a few times
Speaker 8: this year. Well, he had a dumb once.
Speaker 10: He might call.
Speaker 8: He might cost us. He's gonna cost us money.
Speaker 1: He's a Janet Jackson moment waiting to happen. Cow geez see,
Speaker 1: I'll see it a bit, Yes, sir, it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: I don't know what the time is. Just look at
Speaker 1: your watch. Seven hundred w.
Speaker 11: L w.
Speaker 1: Okay to a wait. Here we go, Here we go,
Speaker 1: Here we go. Just been handed. This winter is going
Speaker 1: to end in the next five weeks. Well that's encouraging,
Speaker 1: since opening days within the next five weeks. Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It's the average American in for the great American. As
Speaker 1: we push on here into this chilli Thursday afternoon, you
Speaker 1: might have noticed this I have. And generations suffer from
Speaker 1: a couple of things. One, they suffer from the criticism
Speaker 1: of the generation before, and they also suffer from not
Speaker 1: having anyone behind them that can push them along. Why
Speaker 1: because the generation behind them is ultimately younger and they're
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out how to park their tricycles,
Speaker 1: and the generation that came before them are trying to
Speaker 1: make their own way and think the way they did
Speaker 1: it was the right way. And who are these people
Speaker 1: that are coming up behind? It happens to everybody. The
Speaker 1: Greatest generation saw it with the Boomers, and the boomers
Speaker 1: saw it with gen Y, and then there was Millennials,
Speaker 1: gen X, Genever whatever is now gen Z, though, catches
Speaker 1: a lot of flack, and some of it is warranted,
Speaker 1: some of it's not. But I think this is something
Speaker 1: that you don't really have to be Einstein to figure
Speaker 1: out that particular group, the group born between nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: seven and twenty twelve, does not know, nor does it
Speaker 1: want to know, how to use a telephone. In fact,
Speaker 1: just be around somebody from that age group and see
Speaker 1: how they behave If their phone rings, don't pick it up.
Speaker 1: You know, the line may be well, if it's important,
Speaker 1: they'll leave a message, But it's also the way they
Speaker 1: view what a phone is anymore. You know, in the
Speaker 1: bad old days, there were no mobile phones, there was
Speaker 1: no texting phone rang, you had to pick it up. Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you want? Now, of course there's texting and
Speaker 1: somebody calls and they leave a message, But there is
Speaker 1: this telephobia that seems to be a problem with gen
Speaker 1: Z and I, for the life of me, I can't
Speaker 1: figure out why they they exist in their communication skills
Speaker 1: in one two hundred and eighty yeah, two hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty characters. But now, believe it or not, there are
Speaker 1: companies that are hiring people who come in and teach
Speaker 1: employees gen zers how to use a telephone, how to
Speaker 1: answer a telephone. I know it's just that the concept
Speaker 1: to me is just crazy. But I thought, how difficult
Speaker 1: can it be? And how intimidating is a phone? Now?
Speaker 1: The phone rings, you pick it up, you say hi.
Speaker 1: It's apparently not that easy. There's a workplace, a workplace
Speaker 1: expert by the name of David c Olcott, and I
Speaker 1: stumbled upon him a couple of weeks ago, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, if I ever have a chance, I'm gonn
Speaker 1: I get him on the show. And I've asked him
Speaker 1: to join me today to talk about this phone call
Speaker 1: anxiety and how to overcome it and why this thing
Speaker 1: is not just you know, let's go grow up, snowflake
Speaker 1: and answer the phone. It's much different than that, because
Speaker 1: it's the way this generation was raised and how they
Speaker 1: view communications. But you get to the workplace and it
Speaker 1: may not fit in with what that company is trying
Speaker 1: to do anyway, I said, David Olcott is a workplace expert.
Speaker 1: He is the CEO of a company called Samurai Success,
Speaker 1: and I was reading, I think it was in Business
Speaker 1: Insider about Samurai Success and what it does and how
Speaker 1: it consults not just about this, but about a lot
Speaker 1: of ways so that things work a little less strenuous
Speaker 1: and a little more seamless when it comes to business.
Speaker 1: But the telephobio was the hook for me. I asked
Speaker 1: him to join me, and my gush, he has done that.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's go on to align for us where
Speaker 1: David is tonight and David o'cott, how are you on
Speaker 1: this glorious day?
Speaker 10: Ken, I'm doing very wonderful, and thank you for having
Speaker 10: me on the show.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here. What is it about the under
Speaker 1: forty crowd and telephones and the inability to speak into
Speaker 1: one as opposed to whip their thumbs around one a
Speaker 1: keyboard on one of these things. What's going on here?
Speaker 11: So it's interesting because what we really do isn't study generations,
Speaker 11: if you will, We actually study human behavior and what
Speaker 11: makes us do what we do. And the new gen
Speaker 11: is just very much like in this way. You've heard
Speaker 11: the old adage practice makes perfect. Yeah, well, what if
Speaker 11: I said to you, practice actually makes permanent, and all
Speaker 11: of a sudden things start to make sense. Because if
Speaker 11: I practice texting, emails, doing these things all day long,
Speaker 11: then I'm going to be really good at them. I'm
Speaker 11: going to be skill set with us. But when I
Speaker 11: don't practice face to face communications, taking phone calls, making
Speaker 11: those phone calls, it affects my confidence and fear rushes
Speaker 11: in to fill the gap.
Speaker 1: But I have actually heard stories, and again this is anecdotal.
Speaker 1: This is not some scientific research that when a cell
Speaker 1: phone rings, a gen z or panics and they don't
Speaker 1: know what to do, or they'll let it go to
Speaker 1: voicemail because they don't want to interact voice to voice.
Speaker 1: So to go back to what you just said, if
Speaker 1: you are constantly doing that particular discipline when it comes
Speaker 1: to a communication device, chances are you'll be more comfortable
Speaker 1: with it because you've perfected it. Am I right here?
Speaker 10: Absolutely?
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, this actually has a lot
Speaker 11: of research going back to what's called path lost doc
Speaker 11: right bell ringing and the dog would start salivating it
Speaker 11: was trained to do certain things. We have a lot
Speaker 11: of similar characterists. That's when it comes to our behaviors
Speaker 11: and our training, when it comes to animals, because we
Speaker 11: have a big part.
Speaker 10: Of our brain that's an animal.
Speaker 11: And so when you don't, when you have that noise
Speaker 11: that happens, then all of a sudden, you're like, you
Speaker 11: don't have the confidence that every since the time you
Speaker 11: hear the noise, your confidence is affected because we haven't
Speaker 11: practiced not around it.
Speaker 1: So then you get these younger folks. They go through
Speaker 1: the education process, high school into college. Maybe they get
Speaker 1: out of college when they're twenty two, maybe they are
Speaker 1: looking for work. Hopefully they're looking for work and they
Speaker 1: stumble upon some employer that has a bit of an
Speaker 1: interest in them. Would it not make sense that the
Speaker 1: employer who the hiring that's done by the employer, generally speaking,
Speaker 1: is done by older people in different generations. Would it
Speaker 1: not be whove the younger folks to learn exactly how
Speaker 1: to use the telephone?
Speaker 11: Absolutely, as a mater of fact, that an essential skill
Speaker 11: set's still in our humanity. If you will, AI hasn't
Speaker 11: taken an over, you know, quantum account machine.
Speaker 10: He hasn't taken over.
Speaker 11: So this is a skill set for at least the
Speaker 11: next twenty years, us and our ability to communicate with
Speaker 11: each other. Interestingly enough, when it comes to those machines,
Speaker 11: we actually have to communicate effectively with them by asking
Speaker 11: queuing questions.
Speaker 10: If you don't have that ability, you're really going to
Speaker 10: stuffer in the workplace. So absolutely agree with you. And
Speaker 10: this is the tough part of it. Conversation.
Speaker 11: CEOs and owners of businesses are already making such a
Speaker 11: huge investment. I know, I'm a small medium sized as owner.
Speaker 11: I coach people like this every single day. But we
Speaker 11: can't keep working off the old models, the old patterns.
Speaker 11: They just don't work anymore. We're going to have to
Speaker 11: step up our game. I know that's hard to hear
Speaker 11: that We've got to start training those folks. Are having
Speaker 11: an opportunity to train those folks, buy those older folks
Speaker 11: that are really skilled in this skill set and answering
Speaker 11: a telephone and answering a telephone actually role playing taking
Speaker 11: phone calls in that sales situation. How to deal with
Speaker 11: us creating a script also being able to get off
Speaker 11: that script, because the secret of sales is once I
Speaker 11: have the script, I have to be able to listen
Speaker 11: to what the other person is saying. And that's the
Speaker 11: real challenge is that when you isolated yourself for years
Speaker 11: and years and you've been working on your computer and
Speaker 11: you're texting, you don't have those natural cues that you
Speaker 11: and I have developed because we've been socialized.
Speaker 10: To do that, we've practiced to do that. They're missing
Speaker 10: that skill set, David.
Speaker 1: That that's about as saying of things that I've heard today.
Speaker 1: You've got to teach someone how to use a telephone.
Speaker 1: And again I'm not being judgmental about a particular generation,
Speaker 1: and I try hard to understand this because a lot
Speaker 1: of what we learned when we were growing up, in
Speaker 1: other words, telephone skills, comportment on the telephone, how to
Speaker 1: handle the telephone, well, it was all social. We didn't
Speaker 1: have Facebook, we didn't have x, we didn't have any
Speaker 1: of these social media platforms. And so if you wanted
Speaker 1: to communicate, in the case of a guy with a girl,
Speaker 1: you actually had to pick up the phone call and
Speaker 1: he had to develop those skills so that you might
Speaker 1: have a chance to do something with somebody else on
Speaker 1: a Friday night, as opposed to sitting in a room
Speaker 1: and watching reruns Again against Island. So I mean there
Speaker 1: was a social aspect that helped you with what you
Speaker 1: would need to do later on in life with the phone.
Speaker 1: And I understand a lot of these younger kids don't
Speaker 1: have that, But think about what what you just said,
Speaker 1: and how sad that is. I mean, that's boy, that
Speaker 1: gives me pause to cause to pause and say, where
Speaker 1: are we going here as a society.
Speaker 11: Enough, let's talk about that dating scene. Remember, not only
Speaker 11: have we not encouraged people through you know, our kids,
Speaker 11: through motivation to be able to be better on the phone,
Speaker 11: which is an essential skill set or communication one on one,
Speaker 11: we've developed apps that helped you date people. So you're
Speaker 11: not even actually doing the things that you and I
Speaker 11: had to grow up, and we're very motivated to learn
Speaker 11: those skill sets. If those things are then handed to you,
Speaker 11: it just says, hey, let this ap take care of
Speaker 11: before you you never developed that skill set.
Speaker 1: It's so yeah, that's just staggering. And again I can't
Speaker 1: lay at all on the generation, this gen Z generation,
Speaker 1: because let's face it, if we had these things at
Speaker 1: our fingertips when we were growing up in the bad
Speaker 1: old days, maybe we would do the same thing as well.
Speaker 4: I don't know would we.
Speaker 11: Would have absolutely done the same thing because we're a
Speaker 11: human being. I mean, I know we're separated by this
Speaker 11: age thing and everything else, but I will tell you
Speaker 11: we're conditioned to be able to do certain things. But
Speaker 11: we've got to step outside of that. Here's the good
Speaker 11: news about this, and so maybe we can take some
Speaker 11: of the sadness away. Remember during the nineteen sixties, I
Speaker 11: grew up during that time, and I will tell you
Speaker 11: that we were.
Speaker 10: Having a revolution.
Speaker 11: During the time, people were protesting in mobs and masses
Speaker 11: and people were really upset. Guess where those same people
Speaker 11: are today that we're out there protesting. There are Supreme
Speaker 11: Court justices, there are legislators, there are all these people
Speaker 11: are in high command of this country right now, and
Speaker 11: that's going to continue, right.
Speaker 1: No, I understand. Look, I'm sure some of the folks
Speaker 1: that are struggling to use the phone, telephone phobia, whatever
Speaker 1: it may be. I'm sure those people are going to
Speaker 1: grow up and they're going to be dynamics, some of
Speaker 1: them anyway, or they're going to do the great things
Speaker 1: that the people from our generation did as well. It
Speaker 1: will be in a different way of communicating. But it's
Speaker 1: still at all. It's not Supreme Court justices. I'm worried about.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Joe who runs a business down on
Speaker 1: the corner that's got to sell widgets. And if he's
Speaker 1: got some snowflake that's twenty eight, twenty nine years old
Speaker 1: that can't communicate on the telephone, guess what, Joe's not
Speaker 1: going to sell a lot of widgets. And I think,
Speaker 1: you know, there could be a problem in this country,
Speaker 1: not just with communication telephone as opposed to text and whatnot,
Speaker 1: but just how the business is conducted in this country.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we make things. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we sell things. That's what
Speaker 1: makes our country go. And if we can't sell things
Speaker 1: that we make, and all of a sudden, we got
Speaker 1: a problem here, and that I guess that's the area
Speaker 1: I'm worried about here.
Speaker 2: David.
Speaker 11: Yeah, as a matter of fact, that's exactly why our
Speaker 11: company was designed, so that we could help people train
Speaker 11: these skill sets back into this into the business pipe
Speaker 11: because we are missing that elements.
Speaker 10: And you're absolutely right, and even go even further.
Speaker 11: I remember the people who are driving you know, you know,
Speaker 11: artificial intelligence and things like this business machinery are the
Speaker 11: business owners today because they're seeing the lack of interest
Speaker 11: and motivation from the labor force to be able to
Speaker 11: do the task that are necessary.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what does your company do? You say you
Speaker 1: try and help people that aren't used to using them.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's more in depth what you do, but
Speaker 1: you help people who are not used to using the
Speaker 1: phone to actually talk into the phone. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: they're programs. What do one of those programs look like?
Speaker 11: So one of those programs is really what we call
Speaker 11: executive coaching, where we sit down with a business owner
Speaker 11: and we actually create a structure of tiered organized training
Speaker 11: to be able to bring their labor force up to speed,
Speaker 11: if you will, within the company. Now, I will tell
Speaker 11: you there's a fascinating thing that we do here that's
Speaker 11: very unique in the coaching industry because we focus on
Speaker 11: psychology and we also focus on design work, which is
Speaker 11: building your business processes and models. But we also have
Speaker 11: a financial component. So when you typically hire a coach,
Speaker 11: to hire a psychologist or someone helps you, you know,
Speaker 11: with the headspace, if you will, we do those other
Speaker 11: two elements to support that headspace so that you can
Speaker 11: actually see that your ideas are making sense and helping
Speaker 11: you become profitable.
Speaker 1: My guess then would be that although it might be
Speaker 1: geared to a specific gauge group, there's probably benefits to
Speaker 1: someone that's older too, maybe a boomer or maybe a
Speaker 1: millennial or somebody like that that you know, needs to
Speaker 1: sh arpen up skills as well. I guess what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is, you know, even though it's probably some sort
Speaker 1: of you know, invasive, let's get to it, let's write down,
Speaker 1: let's get in there right now. What do they call
Speaker 1: it when you said everybody, everybody gets in a room,
Speaker 1: they sit down, and they tell somebody they've got a
Speaker 1: drinking problem, and we're getting the out of the room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's that going on with the younger set,
Speaker 1: but with the older set, it's probably like you know what,
Speaker 1: we could probably brush up on this as well. Yeah.
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, that intervention strategy, right, which
Speaker 11: is usually hostile coaching, is very much that without the
Speaker 11: hostility and judgment. So, hey, you really do want to
Speaker 11: make a difference, we can help you do that because
Speaker 11: we have technologies about how people actually work, not how
Speaker 11: we think they work. But how you actually work and
Speaker 11: you work on you that's the most important thing because
Speaker 11: once you have a good sense of who you are
Speaker 11: and with the confidence you bring to the table, you
Speaker 11: can master almost any capability that you want.
Speaker 1: And so your company is samuraized success, which I guess
Speaker 1: this is only one small part of it, right, Yes,
Speaker 1: it is. So you're like you go in. You'll go
Speaker 1: into like a company like what we have here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Procter and Gamble, Kroger or whatever, and if they've got
Speaker 1: some sort of deficiency something that's heard it in their
Speaker 1: product productivity. You go in there and you you kind
Speaker 1: of look around, see what's going on, and say, okay,
Speaker 1: here's how we attack the problem.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, we go in and actually
Speaker 11: sit down with your people and we learn from them
Speaker 11: and something we call teach, train and transfer. You are
Speaker 11: masters of your universe of what you do. I don't
Speaker 11: care how many years of consulting or coaching that I have.
Speaker 11: I don't know your business. So we come in and
Speaker 11: we discover what works for you, and then we map
Speaker 11: it out so everybody is literally on the same page.
Speaker 11: There's no questions, there's no deletion, distortion or generalization. People
Speaker 11: know exactly what they do, so we write it out
Speaker 11: with them, and then we started coaching from that position.
Speaker 1: I'm the master of my own universe. Didn't Jerry Seinfeld
Speaker 1: do a whole episode on that.
Speaker 2: Is up there.
Speaker 10: I don't think what you're saying is what you think
Speaker 10: of me.
Speaker 1: Yet, just checking there, David, do you have great faith
Speaker 1: in the under I guess the under forty crowd, you know,
Speaker 1: the folks that were born between nineteen ninety seven and
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. Do you have faith that what they the
Speaker 1: way they go about their lives, which I think is
Speaker 1: of some sort of either amusement or consternation to the
Speaker 1: over fifty crowd, Do you have faith in that group
Speaker 1: or or is it something you think needs a lot
Speaker 1: of work.
Speaker 11: I think it's a little bit of both. I absolutely
Speaker 11: have faith that God makes perfect things. So we are
Speaker 11: in a situation where it's like, Okay, how do we
Speaker 11: solve this issue with well the resources we have? And
Speaker 11: I will tell you as I look into the future
Speaker 11: and watch this whole idea around AI and quantum acuting,
Speaker 11: guess who is best suited for that? The newer generation.
Speaker 11: They're so suited They are so good and intimate with
Speaker 11: complexity and technology, where I really struggle with that personally.
Speaker 11: They have a gift around that. It's like as if
Speaker 11: they almost see it coming down the road and they're
Speaker 11: getting prepared.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 11: I have great faith in what we're doing with that,
Speaker 11: but I also agree that it's going to take some
Speaker 11: training to be able to catch up to the slaver force,
Speaker 11: to be able to really take advantage and be resourceful
Speaker 11: with him.
Speaker 1: David C. Elcott. His book is Swords of Elimination and
Speaker 1: you can find him at Samurai Success Samurai success dot com.
Speaker 1: Good stuff. I have more faith now in the in
Speaker 1: the generation treat that they have come after me after
Speaker 1: this short time we've spent together. David, stay well, I'm
Speaker 1: going to die you up again. I'm sure we need
Speaker 1: to hear your voice.
Speaker 10: Thanks, I'm good man. Thanks you mining.
Speaker 1: Telephobia phone range, Just pick it up. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: bite you.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 1: The bad's gonna happen at the very least, it's going
Speaker 1: to be somebody selling you something you don't want.
Speaker 2: Just just end it.
Speaker 1: But it's keeping guys like old cotton business, so I
Speaker 1: guess he kind of likes it. I guess he kind
Speaker 1: of likes it a lot to twenty five on this Thursday. Yes, yes, yes,

Speaker 1: That was the greatest sporting moment in my lifetime.
Speaker 8: America. When they beat the Russians, then they had to
Speaker 8: beat the what the Finland right for the gold?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: They beat the Finns for the gold? Yeah, they were
Speaker 1: The Fins had him down I think to nil to nothing,
Speaker 1: and they came back and won. And if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: Mike Ruzioni who who was the captain of that USA team.
Speaker 1: I think at some point after the Olympics he wound
Speaker 1: up playing for Toledo in the International Hockey League. Really,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, I was involved in a charity
Speaker 1: hockey game I played many years ago when I lived
Speaker 1: and worked in Tampa, and Phil ver Coodo was part
Speaker 1: of the team that I was on. About that, Yes,
Speaker 1: about that. Those A lot of those guys made a
Speaker 1: lot of money off that Olympic team, and then I couldn't.

Speaker 1: Francona and his staff are going to be with the
Speaker 1: split squad at the road game. They don't want to
Speaker 1: be there when they take on the Guardians. The pressure
Speaker 1: would be too much on Francona. That's what you told me,
Speaker 1: right correct.
Speaker 8: The Yankees advantager Aaron Boone have agreed on a two
Speaker 8: year contract extension now through the twenty twenty seventh season.
Speaker 8: Boone is in his eighth year as Yankees manager. Of course,
Speaker 8: a major leaguer for twelve season, there's a lot of
Speaker 8: that with the Reds, so he gets a deal. Wisconsin
Speaker 8: football coach Luke Fickle receiving a one year contract extension
Speaker 8: that will now run through twenty thirty one. He was
Speaker 8: hired away from the Bearcats in December of twenty twenty two,
Speaker 8: and he finished five and seven.
Speaker 1: Do you know said who the Reds got in return
Speaker 1: for Aaron Boone when they traded him to the Yankees
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three. Wasn't that Roberto Kelly negative?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, so no. Kelly was in ninety four
Speaker 1: for Paul O'Neil. Oh ninety three. Let's see Brandon Clawson
Speaker 1: and some other guy named Charlie Manning. That worked out,
Speaker 1: didn't last I heard Brandon Clawson was running some tires
Speaker 1: store in Texas. Seriously real, Yeah, running some tire store
Speaker 1: in Texas. Good luck to him. That's one that didn't
Speaker 1: work out. Aaron Boone goes to New York. It's a

Speaker 1: know they were a hailing this guy is like when
Speaker 1: he came here, they were there was more smoke getting
Speaker 1: blown up in the air, remembered what's his name, leather pants,
Speaker 1: Jim Bowden.
Speaker 8: He was gone.
Speaker 1: They fired him, and it was up to some guy
Speaker 1: I can't remember that was left running the front office.
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive that was the same in that same
Speaker 1: time when they got Aaron Harang too. Okay, it's like
Speaker 1: they were dumping Saldaries left and right. But anyway, but
Speaker 1: they got Brandon Claws and for Aaron Boone, and Aaron
Speaker 1: Boone winds up managing the Yankees every year long about
Speaker 1: May or June. The immedia in New York wants to
Speaker 1: fire Aaron Boone, and the guy keeps getting new contracts. Yep,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. He's good through twenty twenty seven. Correct,
Speaker 1: So I will say the rest may be on another
Speaker 1: manager by then.
Speaker 8: I hope not.
Speaker 1: I hope keep this one around for a while. Just
Speaker 1: you know, you just look at their track record.
Speaker 8: Correct, Well, that's true, you're right, yeah, all right?
Speaker 1: What else we got here? Six?
Speaker 8: That's all I got Ken Brow who got nothing else?
Speaker 8: I got nothing else.
Speaker 1: It's no games tonight, uh not?
Speaker 8: No, everybody's not. Everybody well Northwestern in Ohio state plays.
Speaker 8: That's about it.
Speaker 1: No, I think I'll miss that one.
Speaker 8: Everybody. That's the nk us an action tomorrow. So's Miami
Speaker 8: and so is Dayton. They all play on Friday night, seg.
Speaker 8: Victor wembin Yama is out for them now. I saw
Speaker 8: that it's something like blood vessels in his shoulder or.
Speaker 1: Something that vain thrombosis the sound of a movie I
Speaker 1: saw the other night, Deep vain thrombosis.
Speaker 8: He goes on Netflix or something.
Speaker 1: It could have been. I don't know when fews are

Speaker 1: a big blow to the Spurs, that's for sure. He'll blue.
Speaker 1: Are you watching this game that I seg?
Speaker 8: Yes, I'll watch it. I'll watch a little of it, Yes, sir,
Speaker 8: a little of it. Well we we some of us
Speaker 8: have to get up early, ken Brew.
Speaker 1: Well take a nap when you go home today. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't watch a little of a game.
Speaker 8: We'll watch it.
Speaker 1: No, we got to watch the whole thing. We will
Speaker 1: watch it tonight, all right, all right, all right, seg.
Speaker 1: I have nothing else here. Okay, what'd you think of
Speaker 1: my idea about the Mecca? Interesting? I got a bunch
Speaker 1: of feedback on that. Well, not all of it was good.
Speaker 1: In fact, none of it was good.
Speaker 8: I don't know. I mean, they they're gonna have to.
Speaker 8: They're gonna have to. I mean, like you said, they're
Speaker 8: gonna have to go after you know, some kind of
Speaker 8: pro team.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 8: I mean, is the NBA going to come here?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 8: Is the NHL gonna come here with already Columbus.
Speaker 1: No, not gonna come And really, do you realize the
Speaker 1: the I mean, everybody's we can get the team and
Speaker 1: all that. Wait a minute, hang on, step back, batman,
Speaker 1: Here's what how much do you think those tickets cost?
Speaker 1: Over above that, who's gonna buy the sweets? Because that's
Speaker 1: where the money is, correct. There's only so many companies
Speaker 1: in this town or this size that can buy those suites, correct,
Speaker 1: and they already own suites and everywhere else bingo. So
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, Sentas can only afford
Speaker 1: so many sweets, P and G. Only so many sweets, right, iHeart,
Speaker 1: Although I've never been in one of those sweets, I
Speaker 1: hear they're very nice. Can only afford so many sweets, correct.
Speaker 1: That's why I like my idea of an All Star
Speaker 1: arena where every single NBA team, and every single NHL
Speaker 1: team plays one of their games each year at the Mecca.
Speaker 1: Now you put in like basketball tournaments, you have like
Speaker 1: a Big Five tournament. Get UC, you get Xavier, Miami,
Speaker 1: I'll go my Miami, Dayton UK and Dayton. There you go,
Speaker 1: there you go. I don't know about Dayton. Maybe NKU
Speaker 1: instead of dating. But at whatever event, you do a
Speaker 1: Big Five and you have the Big Five Tournament every
Speaker 1: year there Like they haven't in Philadelphia, nobody calls me
Speaker 1: seg about this stuff.
Speaker 8: Maybe they will now, ken Brew, Maybe maybe you'll be
Speaker 8: the caretaker of the Mecca.
Speaker 1: It's like the F one race. I've got all planned
Speaker 1: out of my head for the Kentucky Speedway, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, have you been buy that place lately?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: No, I think i'd cry. If you need weeds, they
Speaker 1: can sell you something down there.
Speaker 8: I can imagine. I can imagine weeds.
Speaker 1: And crickets at that place, yep. But just the F
Speaker 1: one race that could go in there. I'm thinking, you
Speaker 1: build this arena. Forget about chasing a franchise or going
Speaker 1: after it because you're talking billions of dollars. Just say, look,
Speaker 1: this is going to beat the Mecca. And so maybe
Speaker 1: when you have this year like the Four Nations tournament,
Speaker 1: anyway you play it, you play some of the games there.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it would be a money maker. The
Speaker 1: entire area would look like Rio Dasian Arrow. There would
Speaker 1: be dancing in the streets, liquor flowing in the streets.
Speaker 1: They would have restaurants and bars open from here to
Speaker 1: next week. And you know what, when it was all over,
Speaker 1: I'd be standing on the halls of steps of city
Speaker 1: Hall and the duck guy, the mayor, you know, a flak,
Speaker 1: he would be handing me a key to the city.
Speaker 8: I guarantee you, I don't know, ken Brew, will wait
Speaker 8: and see what happens.
Speaker 1: Everybody waits and see. Sega's the people that act right now,
Speaker 1: those are the people that make money.
Speaker 8: Maybe they had, maybe the city ought to get a
Speaker 8: hold of you.
Speaker 1: Now, well they have on several occasions for tickets I
Speaker 1: didn't pay, Okay, I am well, get us out of
Speaker 1: the stooge, reports Egg ken Brew.
Speaker 8: In honor of another cold day in a tri state,
Speaker 8: but temperatures going up starting as tomorrow. Good in the
Speaker 8: next week, Thank goodness. We leave you with the immortal
Speaker 8: words of the stew.
Speaker 1: Report right now. It is always great to have you
Speaker 1: amongst us. Thank you again for your health tonight.

Speaker 1: Segment two tonight.
Speaker 8: Well think I know who'll call him first.
Speaker 1: But I gotta go.
Speaker 8: I got a ten o'clock gig tonight at the retirement
Speaker 8: village in Blue Ass. But we're supposed to play naked Twister. Well,
Speaker 8: how did that naked Twister game go? I don't know,
Speaker 8: asked the Wizard. I don't know. I wasn't there.
Speaker 1: You were there, weren't you? No, I thought he was
Speaker 1: playing with you, not me. I thought the Wizard played
Speaker 1: with you. Yep, it's all you know what se It's
Speaker 1: all a blur, Drake and for it sure is all
Speaker 1: a blur.
Speaker 8: That's for sure.
Speaker 1: All right. It's two to fifty news radio. I hope, so,
Speaker 1: I hope at some point to news radio seven hundred.
Speaker 1: W WELW. Fattel is the new Director of the FBI,
Speaker 1: just so confirmed in a Senate vote fifty one to
Speaker 1: forty seven. Two Republicans voted against him. Anybody want to
Speaker 1: anybody want to guess? Yep, the Dolly Sisters Susan Collins
Speaker 1: and Lisa Murkowski. Mitch McConnell, on his way out the door,
Speaker 1: said yeah, I'll vote for the guy. Why not? So
Speaker 1: there's some of that. Well, wait a minute, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: hang on, we have some breaking news. Joining us here
Speaker 1: in the studio is one of the true legends of
Speaker 1: broadcasting and an even figure legend on the NFL field.
Speaker 1: That would be Walking Jay Boyman, who is getting ready
Speaker 1: for his show in just a few minutes with the
Speaker 1: Eddie fingers. Hello, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 8: Are you boss?
Speaker 1: Look any better? I'd be triplets?
Speaker 8: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: So let me let me ask you about Mitch McConnell. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm on record. The guy should have declared victory and
Speaker 1: gone home after he blocked Merrick Garland from getting on
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. I've always said that the GOP in
Speaker 1: Kentucky could do better than him. I've said that for
Speaker 1: a while. So he's leaving. But Kentucky is hardly a
Speaker 1: red state. It's it's more of a purple state now.
Speaker 1: And Andy Basheer is a fairly popular governor in that state.
Speaker 1: Where do you see that seat that McConnell had, Where
Speaker 1: do you where do you see it going and can
Speaker 1: the Republicans retain it? I think so.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's got to be someone that's a little
Speaker 6: bit more in line with the modern Republican Party, which
Speaker 6: is to say, you know Trump, right, And it's got
Speaker 6: to be someone because that's you know, McConnell was a
Speaker 6: little more old school and didn't really vibe well with Trump,
Speaker 6: and he did some great things I think early in
Speaker 6: his career, but then as the party kind of morphed
Speaker 6: into more America first and you know, that sort of thing,
Speaker 6: I don't think he was really up with that. So
Speaker 6: he's gone, and as far as who replaces him, I'm
Speaker 6: not sure. I have to think about that a little
Speaker 6: more than the news is pretty new.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I didn't. I mean I saw a
Speaker 1: list of the suspects and I really didn't recognize any
Speaker 1: of them. And he had wielded such a a giant
Speaker 1: piece of power there that I think it ran off
Speaker 1: a lot of the people that might have been in
Speaker 1: the past primary challengers for him, certainly, or people that
Speaker 1: just would be a voice that might be, you know,
Speaker 1: try and come up and be stronger than his. So
Speaker 1: we'll see. It's it's certainly a big day politically in
Speaker 1: this country, and it's a it's a passing guard. The
Speaker 1: other thing, I want to get your thoughts. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys are doing this, but I think
Speaker 1: you know all of these people that are upset that
Speaker 1: it looks like Trump is going to deal with Putin
Speaker 1: first before Zelenski. And you know, Zelensky is upset because
Speaker 1: Trump called him a dictator. I wouldn't have done that,
Speaker 1: but let's face it, there are a lot of things
Speaker 1: about Zelensky that fits the role of dictator. I think
Speaker 1: Trump as crazy as a fox. I think he knows
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing, and I think he knows exactly
Speaker 1: what he wants, and what he wants in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form are the minerals that are in Ukraine,
Speaker 1: knowing full well that China's big hammer over US is
Speaker 1: minerals in case they go sideways there. I'm not upset
Speaker 1: about Zelensky being upset because he doesn't exist if it
Speaker 1: weren't for American taxpayers.
Speaker 6: Right, I mean for me ken I can't understand why
Speaker 6: other people don't don't see this, And now maybe I
Speaker 6: got it wrong, but here's how I see it. Trump
Speaker 6: in his essence, is a deal maker, right that he
Speaker 6: wants to get a deal done to stop that war
Speaker 6: that's in everybody's best interest. So the left complains he's
Speaker 6: budding up to Putin and he's you know, saying favorable
Speaker 6: things about Putin and anti things against Selensky. When you
Speaker 6: go into a negotiation, Ken, when you were at Channel
Speaker 6: five and you was your contract was up, would would
Speaker 6: you go into your boss, whether you liked him or not,
Speaker 6: and and degrade him and call him a dictator and
Speaker 6: tell him this and that, or would.
Speaker 8: You kind of you know you're gonna gonna you're gonna
Speaker 8: negotiate with him, so you kind of pump him up
Speaker 8: a little bit.
Speaker 6: I think I think Trump knows that Putin is an
Speaker 6: evil guy, but he needs to get a deal done here.
Speaker 6: And the last thing you want to do when you're
Speaker 6: trying to strike a deal with someone is insult them.
Speaker 8: So he's trying to pump him up a little bit.
Speaker 6: And you know, so you know, Putin is a very
Speaker 6: you know, as a masculine guy, and saving face for
Speaker 6: his country, Russia is something that's important. So I think
Speaker 6: he's doing all of this not not to because he
Speaker 6: loves Putin because he knows he's got to get a
Speaker 6: deal done with him. And you make a deal with
Speaker 6: someone on good terms, not on favorable terms by throwing
Speaker 6: arrows at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, anyways, a great point when
Speaker 1: I was at Channel five and I would go in there,
Speaker 1: I did not like insult In trying to mean the
Speaker 1: people that were paying me. The first time, I just
Speaker 1: told him I was going to Channel twelve, Channel nine.
Speaker 8: There you go, whatever you got to do.
Speaker 6: But you didn't insult anybody on the way into that meeting, right, Yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Boughted him up.
Speaker 6: And boy, I've really enjoyed working here and this is
Speaker 6: great and you're great and everybody's great.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I just think that's what Trump's trying to do, and
Speaker 6: the left it just thinks he's he sees eyed eye
Speaker 6: with Putin. I don't think Trump feels that way at all.
Speaker 6: He said, look, I got to get a deal done,
Speaker 6: and I can't do this in good faith. If the
Speaker 6: guy thinks I'm attacking, he'll, you know, kind of bristle
Speaker 6: up and we won't get a deal done.
Speaker 1: Well, I can't wait to hear what's on the docket
Speaker 1: with you and Eddie. You tell Eddie I said Hi, Rocky,
Speaker 1: and you stay well okay, Because I say this to
Speaker 1: people that I like, we need to hear your voice.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Ken, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It's coming up on the news time and after that
Speaker 1: it is Eddie and Rocky and they'll take your right
Speaker 1: till six o'clock on seven hundred w WELW
