Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's the average American in for the great
Speaker 1: American on this Monday. And I have no, absolutely no
Speaker 1: idea what I witnessed on Sunday watching your Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: take on the Steelers, and the Steelers are massing more
Speaker 1: offense in that one game that was probably five games
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh Steeler offense. Remember it was just a couple
Speaker 1: of three weeks ago they won a game by kicking
Speaker 1: six field goals, they couldn't score a touchdown. But yet
Speaker 1: yesterday I'm watching this thing transfire and they're picking apart
Speaker 1: that Bengals defense like a leftover bone from Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was unbelievable what they did. And then
Speaker 1: to cap it off, to cap it off, everybody in
Speaker 1: that stadium, everybody watching that game at home, they knew
Speaker 1: exactly what Justin Fields was going to do when he
Speaker 1: took that ball right after the two minute warning and
Speaker 1: race seven yards, giving the Steelers a first down and
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, ending the game. Everybody in
Speaker 1: the stadium knew that Justin Fields was going to get
Speaker 1: the ball, except, of course, the eleven guys playing defense
Speaker 1: for the Bengals. So how bad is this and going forward?
Speaker 1: How bad can it be? Because you're not going to
Speaker 1: fix everything in one off season. There's just no way.
Speaker 1: And the more they delay fixing what's wrong with this team,
Speaker 1: the more they waste the incredible talents of Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase standing by the way on all of this,
Speaker 1: he is, without questioning, the most magnificent person who has
Speaker 1: ever worn the number eighty five for the Cincinnati Bengals. Oh,
Speaker 1: there have been many, There have been many great number
Speaker 1: eighty fives in the history of the Cincinnati Bengals, But
Speaker 1: there has been no one, and I mean no one
Speaker 1: that has worn it with more grace and more style
Speaker 1: and more effectiveness than my buddy Tim McGee. Tim, how
Speaker 1: are you on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 2: Doing excelante? How are you doing?
Speaker 3: Your man?
Speaker 2: Holidays? Was good so.
Speaker 3: Far, so far? But are your watch?
Speaker 1: I know, do you knew exactly what Justin Fields was
Speaker 1: going to do with that ball? You know exactly what
Speaker 1: the Steelers were going to do first play after the
Speaker 1: two minute warning, and you know Bengals stopping who knows
Speaker 1: the you know, the offense is moving along and everything,
Speaker 1: Maybe they score, maybe they win the thing with the
Speaker 1: extra point. Everybody knew what was going to go except
Speaker 1: the Bengals defense. How does that happen?
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you here's the point where I don't
Speaker 2: know the exact answer, but I can almost guarantee you
Speaker 2: this happens when the defense that it was a two
Speaker 2: minute warning, which evidently you know obviously it's like a
Speaker 2: time out. I guarantee Coach Lou and the defensive personnel
Speaker 2: and the defensive staff hold one person you are responsible for,
Speaker 2: justin field, and that one person took the bait on
Speaker 2: the fake, although that person was told that time and
Speaker 2: time and time again. And let me tell you why
Speaker 2: I say that. The body language of the sideline and
Speaker 2: the other ten players said, I cannot believe you just
Speaker 2: let that guy justin fields run right by you when
Speaker 2: we told you it was coming. And that's the problem
Speaker 2: coach Liu has. He is not coaching talent that's elite
Speaker 2: enough to be in the right place at the right
Speaker 2: time and execute. You can put them there, you can
Speaker 2: tell them, but then they have to go out and
Speaker 2: make the play. So I know everybody, including yourself, says,
Speaker 2: how did eleven players not know that was coming? There
Speaker 2: was one person that was responsible for the quarterback one
Speaker 2: and he didn't do it so well.
Speaker 1: It had to be a linebacker or safety, right, it
Speaker 1: had to be a linebacker of safety.
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on who's crashing down. In this case,
Speaker 2: since there was a tight end at the end of
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and he faked the ball up
Speaker 2: the middle, that could have very easily been a cornerback
Speaker 2: or a safety. The linebacker dependent and I don't know
Speaker 2: what actual defense they were in, but a linebacker because
Speaker 2: of the down and distance in the situation, could have
Speaker 2: been a per se blid team, or they could have
Speaker 2: had the a gap, the gap whatever the defense called for.
Speaker 2: But there was a person. I guarantee you there was
Speaker 2: a person designated just we hear the spy when was
Speaker 2: Lamar Jacon come in? They got to have a spy
Speaker 2: in this case, who was and I'm going to use
Speaker 2: the term loosely who was spying that play for the
Speaker 2: fake took the bait. And it's just it's so different,
Speaker 2: Kenny than when you see and you know the offense
Speaker 2: is trying to get the defense to jump off five,
Speaker 2: you know it, and then one bonehead jump off five.
Speaker 2: It is not the defensive coaching. It's not the head coach,
Speaker 2: it's not the management, it's not the other ten players.
Speaker 2: One guy just had a brain part, and that's what happens.
Speaker 1: Look, you made a point just a second ago about
Speaker 1: talent on this defense. So I went down the current
Speaker 1: defensive roster, and I'm just looking at guys that if
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I want to get this thing straight for
Speaker 1: next year, I'm going to keep. I came up with
Speaker 1: Dax Hill, Chris Jenkins because he's young, Trey Hendrickson obviously,
Speaker 1: DJ Turner, Logan Wilson, and that's it, because you've got.
Speaker 2: You have.
Speaker 3: BJ Hill.
Speaker 1: Is an unrestricted free agent, Mike Hilton's an unrestricted free agent.
Speaker 1: Joseph A. Side is an unrestricted free agent. Other than
Speaker 1: the names I've mentioned, I can't think of anyone else
Speaker 1: that I would look at and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's keep that guy because they're going to help us
Speaker 1: get better next year. Is there anyone I missed on
Speaker 1: this list?
Speaker 2: No, And let's dig deeper into that. You picked maybe five.
Speaker 2: But of those five who are real elite players, those
Speaker 2: guys may you may say I'll keep them. But some
Speaker 2: of those guys with the exception of trade. Those are
Speaker 2: not elite guys. Those are guys that can be on
Speaker 2: your ball club and they can play some good roles,
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but those guys are not playmakers.
Speaker 2: They're not impact players on defense. You have one impact
Speaker 2: player in that entire defensive roster, Trey Henderson. That's it.
Speaker 2: There's not another impact player on that defense. Yet, there
Speaker 2: are some guys that can give you some services. There's
Speaker 2: some guys that can feel hole, there's no question about that,
Speaker 2: and there's room for those guys on a roster. But
Speaker 2: you need four to five impact players opposed to just
Speaker 2: four or five players that, hey, they can be on
Speaker 2: the team. Sure they can be on the team, but
Speaker 2: they're not doing anything. And that's where the problem lies.
Speaker 2: On the defensive side of the ball. They put the
Speaker 2: money on the offense, and I want every single fan
Speaker 2: to no one understands when they signed Goburrow and when
Speaker 2: they sign when they're keeping the money in the piggy
Speaker 2: bank for Jamar Chase, because he's going to break it
Speaker 2: if they're able to sign t Higgins, which I doubt
Speaker 2: very seriously. You only allow a certain amount of money
Speaker 2: and you let your talent go away. Your talent is
Speaker 2: playing on other teams, and you're suffering. You're suffering for
Speaker 2: the decisions that you made in the last two to
Speaker 2: three seasons. Now you're suffering. So you know, the window
Speaker 2: of opportunity not only is probably closed, but to shave
Speaker 2: this halfway closed too well.
Speaker 1: Listen, I went through their drafts and we'll leave twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four aside because it's tough to judge Chris Jenkins
Speaker 1: or McKinley Jackson or Josh Newton. Who knows.
Speaker 3: They may be.
Speaker 1: Impact players, but this is their first year. Twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: third round, Josephi, fourth round, Cam Sample, fourth round, Tyler Shelvin.
Speaker 1: Have any of those players had an impact on this team?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two Dax Hill, CTV, Zach Carter, and Tyson Anderson.
Speaker 1: Of those four that they drafted defensive players other than
Speaker 1: Zach Hill or I'm sorry, Dak Hill, Dax Hill, they
Speaker 1: really haven't. Cam Taylor britt Is. I think a giant
Speaker 1: disappointment that interception yesterday should have been past interference. Twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty twenty three, Miles Murphy, where's that guy been?
Speaker 1: Turner again? I like Turner he's fast, and it's unfortunate
Speaker 1: he's hurt. And they got Jordan Battle in the third round,
Speaker 1: and Battle has been a spot starter up until the
Speaker 1: last week or two. So I they You're right, they
Speaker 1: overspend on offense or they have to spend on offense,
Speaker 1: and then they try to build through the draft on defense. Well,
Speaker 1: my contention is they haven't drafted anything on defense since
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. You line up the four to eight, eleven,
Speaker 1: fourteen names I mentioned, eleven of those players you could
Speaker 1: look at right now and say they're either a bust
Speaker 1: or they're in route to being a bust. So they've
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to draft defensive players
Speaker 1: if they don't want to put any money into the defense.
Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: No, You're absolutely correct. You have to draft better. Those
Speaker 2: guys got to be more impact players, There's no question
Speaker 2: about it. But do you have a system. Here's where
Speaker 2: things get really complicated. When the window, the Provilio window
Speaker 2: of opportunity is open, you are drafting to fill gaps,
Speaker 2: and that's typically a player here or spot here for depth.
Speaker 2: You're not drafting per se because again you're you're played
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl three years ago, so you're not
Speaker 2: drafting in the first part of the first round. So
Speaker 2: all you got to do is look at the draft
Speaker 2: at as a whole and go, Okay, Yes, when the
Speaker 2: big old draft first, they draft Joe Burrow. When they
Speaker 2: draft high, they draft T.
Speaker 4: Higgins.
Speaker 2: When they draft high on offense, they get eight I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Jamar Chase, and then they get a T.
Speaker 3: Higgins.
Speaker 2: So when you look at him, they're very successful on
Speaker 2: the offensive side. But defense you got to develop. And
Speaker 2: when you're not picking in the top ten players, you're
Speaker 2: not picking from the top ten player. You got to
Speaker 2: develop those guys. And you know Lou coach Lou omaran
Speaker 2: Omarama has the system. We know that that's proven. He
Speaker 2: is one hell of a coach. But I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: if you were to interview him, he would tell you
Speaker 2: I could if he could speak very openly and honestly,
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of talent to deal with
Speaker 2: because you saw the before effects when he didn't have
Speaker 2: the talent defitive defense. You saw the effects of when
Speaker 2: he did have their talent, and now you're saying where
Speaker 2: it goes back where he just don't have the talent
Speaker 2: to produce so people lore your expectations. The offense can
Speaker 2: score forty points, but the Pittsburgh Stills can score forty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And another thing, tim this team seems to chase its
Speaker 1: own philosophy. It's almost like a dog chasing its tail.
Speaker 1: How many years have they been They give up on
Speaker 1: players a year or two before that player is really ineffective,
Speaker 1: or a year or two when they believe that that
Speaker 1: player is at a gas. They've been trying since twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen to replace Andrew Whitworth. They've been trying since twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three to replace Jesse Bates. They've been last year
Speaker 1: Dj Reider, who had three sacks by the way for
Speaker 1: the Lions against the Bears the other night. Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: has had seven one hundred yard games this year, including Sunday.
Speaker 1: So it just seems like that they try to outthink
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit with veteran players or don't want
Speaker 1: to pay those veteran players.
Speaker 3: But any one of.
Speaker 1: The Whitworth, They've tried to replace him through the draft
Speaker 1: and through free agency. They might have gotten it right finally,
Speaker 1: but look at that much much funny they had to
Speaker 1: spend to get themselves to that point. I think there's
Speaker 1: a there's a philosophical problem there with veteran players and
Speaker 1: understanding that those veteran players right now, although you know
Speaker 1: Whitworth is certainly you know past gone bou By, he's
Speaker 1: doing well. But DJ Reider on this team, Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: on this team, how much of a different Jesse Bates
Speaker 1: on this team. How much difference would that have made
Speaker 1: for this team this season? I think it would be
Speaker 1: an innumerable amount of differences it would have made. But
Speaker 1: they don't. They just simply don't believe in it.
Speaker 2: If you could just keep the gang together, the gang
Speaker 2: will grow, they will continue to deal. The sad part
Speaker 2: about this, as we sit here and analyze it, is
Speaker 2: the Bengals had cap room to do it, So it's
Speaker 2: inexcusable to say they didn't have the dollars to do it.
Speaker 2: They chose not to do it for whatever reason. But
Speaker 2: where it affected them and continues to affect them the
Speaker 2: most is on the defensive side out of the football. Now,
Speaker 2: if we are when we go back Kenny and we
Speaker 2: look at the beginning of the season where t Higgins
Speaker 2: did not play, now we will not have the offensive
Speaker 2: show that we're used to, and more than likely T
Speaker 2: Higgins will not be here simply because if he's free,
Speaker 2: someone's going to pay him. He's going to set the
Speaker 2: market for Jamar Chase. Don't get me wrong, Jamar Chase
Speaker 2: is not going to set the market for T.
Speaker 4: Higgins.
Speaker 2: He is going to set the mark. So they're going
Speaker 2: to be best friends. And here they're going to be
Speaker 2: in a situation where he can call Jamar and go, hey, man,
Speaker 2: I've been offered one hundred and twenty. Jamar will sit
Speaker 2: tight and go, okay, I'm getting one thirty Okay, well
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get one thirty five. So the Bengals have
Speaker 2: you know, they they're renaming the movie All the Wrong
Speaker 2: Moves when they comes to free agency. They're making a
Speaker 2: huge mistakes in another movie is to be a sequence
Speaker 2: where All the Wrong Moves is going to be the title.
Speaker 2: They've got to get better in the When I say
Speaker 2: front office, whoever deciding on two or not to retain
Speaker 2: certain free agents, they are just man, they're striking out.
Speaker 2: I mean they're just striking out.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think all these people.
Speaker 1: By the way, we're chatting with Tim McGee, the Magnificent
Speaker 1: Number eighty five. I think all these people that are
Speaker 1: running around today yappin or on social media to fire
Speaker 1: lou Ana Roumo, where Zach Taylor is gonna get fired. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's not happening. It's not gonna happen. Well, yes, they
Speaker 1: fired an assistant coach midseason. He happened to be the
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Steelers. On the other sideline yesterday,
Speaker 1: that would be Taro Austin. But the team doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: And my guess would be that down deep, somebody, Duke Tobin,
Speaker 1: somebody has to understand the reason why this is happening
Speaker 1: on defense isn't because of coaching. It's because of talent,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned. And I saw the camera go on
Speaker 1: Anna rom immediately after Fields ran those seven yards and in
Speaker 1: essence ended the ballgame, and he was you could just
Speaker 1: tell like how many times do I have to say this?
Speaker 1: So those people aren't getting fired. I don't know why
Speaker 1: people think that's going to solve everything. It's not going
Speaker 1: to solve anything, is it.
Speaker 2: Well, people want a quick fix, Well, Cincinnati Bingle fans,
Speaker 2: there is none. This thing is has more holes than
Speaker 2: you can patch right now, and luckily they are still planned,
Speaker 2: they're still playing hard, they're still fighting. Okay, remember everybody,
Speaker 2: we have this high bar. But they did play the
Speaker 2: team that was winning the AFC North, so it's not
Speaker 2: like they were playing the Caroline of Panthers and their laws.
Speaker 2: So are we the quality team that we were hoping
Speaker 2: for coming into the year. No, But these guys are
Speaker 2: still planning. That defense is still scrapped. Again, You've got
Speaker 2: to have talent in this league. And for the people
Speaker 2: that are so naive to understand the think a defensive
Speaker 2: cord or a defensive back coach. They put you in
Speaker 2: the position, they put you in the hole, they put
Speaker 2: you they line you up, They tell you what's going
Speaker 2: to happen. They tell you, look, when this guy goes
Speaker 2: this way, this is what's going to happen. They go
Speaker 2: through it over and over and over, and I can't
Speaker 2: tell you how many, maybe one hundred, two hundred times
Speaker 2: you go over in the film room. But then in
Speaker 2: the game they cannot play for you. So again, the
Speaker 2: Justice Field's situation play was a perfect, unfortunately, a perfect
Speaker 2: example of I put you in the right place, and
Speaker 2: I told you what was going to happen, and then
Speaker 2: the player turns and looks at the coach and goes.
Speaker 3: Sorry, my bad, Well you just lost.
Speaker 4: You got another l.
Speaker 1: So it's the coaches, no coach, I you know, I
Speaker 1: just you know, you talk about window of opportunity. I
Speaker 1: think the feeling is, you know, we got Burrow. Burrow
Speaker 1: can fix every problem we have, and it just it is.
Speaker 1: It isn't that way. It isn't. Well, it's good hearing
Speaker 1: your voice again, Tim McGee, And I hope you had
Speaker 1: a great Thanksgiving, and I hope that Christmas is going
Speaker 1: to be a good time for you, because that's all
Speaker 1: I want for you, because you're one of the good guys, Timmy.
Speaker 1: You always have me. I think you always will. I
Speaker 1: appreciate your time here today.
Speaker 2: I appreciate too, Kenny. Thanks for the compliments. And you're
Speaker 2: just the most classy guy I know. And I sure
Speaker 2: appreciate your brother.
Speaker 3: You must not know a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I know a lot, man.
Speaker 3: Thank you, my friend. We'll talk down the right briend.
Speaker 1: Tim McGee, I love him, I do, and he was
Speaker 1: just a joy to cover when he played for the Bengals.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I know a lot of people have worn number.
Speaker 1: Eighty five, but nobody better than that guy. It's coming
Speaker 1: up on twelve twenty six. Yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: It is what it was, and what it was was
Speaker 1: not good nor what it should be. But that's the
Speaker 1: way it is. Twelve twenty six, News Radio seven hundred

Speaker 3: I'm Eddie and I'm Rocky.
Speaker 5: Really, absolutely the guys from the radio show.

Speaker 7: He only investing in truly being a fiduciary are the

Speaker 1: Monday, Joe Biden parted his son Hunter last night, and
Speaker 1: it's a time swath of from twenty fourteen to now
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four not just for what he was
Speaker 1: indicted and convicted on but for anything that Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: might have done anything. That's how sweeping this is, and
Speaker 1: part of his announcement yesterday he said Biden said that
Speaker 1: the pardon by his son was due because he was
Speaker 1: selectively and unfairly prosecuted. Hunter was treated differently from people
Speaker 1: who commit similar crimes. He said that was a big
Speaker 1: old wet kiss on the side at Donald Trump's cheek.
Speaker 1: We'll explain here in just a second, but it's my
Speaker 1: contention that Joe Biden is the worst president of my lifetime.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think you can make a case that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is probably the second worst president in the
Speaker 1: history of this country, right behind James Buchanan, who led
Speaker 1: this country into the Civil War. In his less than
Speaker 1: four years in office, Joe Biden has botched the withdrawal
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan, which left thirteen Americans dead, seventy five billion
Speaker 1: dollars worth of equipment for the talentman to take over.
Speaker 1: Because of that, he let Russia invade Ukraine and then
Speaker 1: by the way ocade using missiles made in the United
Speaker 1: States against Russia. He spent our tax money and spent
Speaker 1: it absolutely wildly. Inflation peaking just under twenty percent he
Speaker 1: opened the southern border. Eleven million illegals are in this country.
Speaker 1: He failed to anticipate Hamas's attack of Israel. He funded
Speaker 1: Iran by freeing up sixteen billion with a B dollars
Speaker 1: for Iran in frozen assets, and he waged war on
Speaker 1: fossil fuel, doubling the gas prices of what they were
Speaker 1: when he took office from Donald Trump. Last night, he
Speaker 1: pardoned his son, and this is just months down the
Speaker 1: road from saying he would not do it.
Speaker 6: With regard to the question regarding the family, I'm extremely
Speaker 6: proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction.
Speaker 6: He's one of the brightest, most decent men I know.
Speaker 6: And I am satisfied that I'm not gonna do anything
Speaker 6: I said. I advided by the jury decision. I will
Speaker 6: do that, and I will not partner him.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden began his presidency by saying he would not
Speaker 1: mandate vaccines against COVID nineteen. He would not if you
Speaker 1: work for the government or you are a member of
Speaker 1: the military. You know what that was like. So he
Speaker 1: began his presidency with a lie, and apparently he is
Speaker 1: ending his presidency with a lie. After partning his son
Speaker 1: standing by to join the conversation as doctor Frank Sorrentino.
Speaker 1: He is the author of Presidential Power and the American
Speaker 1: Political System. He is also a doctorate of all of
Speaker 1: this and more. You can find him on doctor Frankmsorentino
Speaker 1: dot com. Doctor Sorrentino, How are you on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 4: I'm doing wonderful. How are you, ken?
Speaker 3: I'm well?
Speaker 1: Am I incorrect in saying that Joe Biden and James
Speaker 1: Buchanan would probably fight it out for the worst president
Speaker 1: in the history of the United State dates?
Speaker 8: Well, I think he could make a great taste for that,
Speaker 8: and he could also maybe include Woodrow Wilson for a
Speaker 8: variety of other reasons. But certainly there's some competition there.
Speaker 1: I said that Joe Biden delivered a big, fat, wet
Speaker 1: one to the cheek of Donald Trump by doing this, because,
Speaker 1: in essence, he said that the judicial process and in
Speaker 1: effect his Department of Justice unfairly and selectively prosecuted his son. Well,
Speaker 1: four years down the road, five years down the road,
Speaker 1: what's to prevent Donald Trump from saying the same thing
Speaker 1: about himself and pardoning himself. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: what about all of those January sixth, people that have
Speaker 1: been locked up for the last three years, some of
Speaker 1: whom all they were were wrong place at wrong time.
Speaker 1: Why now is their pardon or some of their pardons
Speaker 1: out of the question? I think at this point Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has really turned his own political party upon its head.
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 8: I think this is certainly a gift to Donald Trump.
Speaker 8: And perhaps the most important thing is it highlights the
Speaker 8: duplicity and the dual systems of justice that have existed
Speaker 8: in the United States for the last few years. You
Speaker 8: have to remember that the Biden presidency began with a lie,
Speaker 8: and the lie was that the laptop that was uncovered
Speaker 8: was rushing disinformation, and that Anthony B. Lincoln, who was
Speaker 8: working at the Biden Center and was going to be
Speaker 8: the Secretary of State designee if Biden had won, had
Speaker 8: arranged for intelligence officers to claim that it had all
Speaker 8: the hall bops of rushing disinformation. This is a very
Speaker 8: very damaging blow to Biden's reputation because now people will
Speaker 8: see that it begins with a lie, it ends with
Speaker 8: a lie, and this pardon is as much for Joe
Speaker 8: Biden as it is for Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1: I always had the suspicion, Doctor, I always had the
Speaker 1: suspicion that Joe Biden was out for Joe Biden, I
Speaker 1: never really thought there was anything that was ahead of
Speaker 1: his own personal or his family's gain, whether it be
Speaker 1: financial or otherwise. But I have a sneaking suspicion, as
Speaker 1: you well know, in Washington, d C. And I worked
Speaker 1: there for four years, that if Washington DC is nothing,
Speaker 1: it's about a deal. Let's make a deal, Let's get
Speaker 1: a deal done. And so when Nancy Pelosi went to
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and basically created a coup inside the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party to get him to drop out of the presidential
Speaker 1: race and install Kamala Harris, I have a sneaking suspicion
Speaker 1: that part of that deal was Biden said to her, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll play your game, but I pardon my son. I
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if that was part of the deal,
Speaker 1: would you.
Speaker 4: Certainly?
Speaker 8: I think the belief was that if Kamala Harris had won,
Speaker 8: that she would do the deed rather than Joe, because
Speaker 8: it would be politically look better under those circumstances. But
Speaker 8: I don't think anybody ever believed Joe Biden when he
Speaker 8: said he wouldn't pardon his son if it came that
Speaker 8: that was the only option left. And since the record
Speaker 8: of Joe Biden was going to be problematic for whoever
Speaker 8: ran as a Democrat in twenty twenty four it seemed
Speaker 8: inevitable that in the winding days of the Biden administration
Speaker 8: he would execute not only a pardon for the crimes
Speaker 8: that he was convicted of, but of all possible crimes
Speaker 8: that he was not convicted of. And going back to
Speaker 8: twenty fourteen, which is the year that Hunter Biden started
Speaker 8: working at Barisma, after Joe Biden was given the portfolio
Speaker 8: of the Obama administration to deal with Ukraine, and they're
Speaker 8: revolved with the coup. They evolved with the change of government.
Speaker 8: And this has been a source of great revenue to
Speaker 8: the Biden family and to a large degree to many
Speaker 8: other people in Washington who received large campaign donations as
Speaker 8: a result. So there is a real corruption here. But
Speaker 8: I think there's the point I guess I want to
Speaker 8: make the most is Hunter Biden was a minor figure.
Speaker 8: He was the bag man, if you will, for the family.
Speaker 8: And you have to think of what father would allow
Speaker 8: his son to be used in such a demeaning manner,
Speaker 8: with all of the political ramifications and legal ramifications. But
Speaker 8: this was for the benefit of the Biden family and
Speaker 8: of Joe Biden in particular.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that, I think you're dead on. I
Speaker 1: think that that was all part of it. But yet
Speaker 1: he continued to keep up the charade, and he continued
Speaker 1: to trot out his press secretary to deny it and
Speaker 1: deny it. And if if I was Kareem John Pierre,
Speaker 1: I would have resigned today because he made her look
Speaker 1: like a fool. But of course she won't. She's got,
Speaker 1: you know, government pensions and all that, and she can
Speaker 1: still add on to that for the next five or
Speaker 1: six weeks. But I also had a sneaking suspicion that
Speaker 1: Trump was going to pardon Hunter Biden. And I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but I think that I think he wants to.
Speaker 1: He's been extending olive branches, and I think he might have.
Speaker 1: It might not have been the sweeping twenty fourteen to
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twenty fourteen to twenty twenty four. It might
Speaker 1: have just been for what he was convicted of. But
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced for both of
Speaker 1: these both his tax charges and his illegal purchase of
Speaker 1: a firearm. He was both his schedule will be sentenced
Speaker 1: for both here in the next couple of weeks. And
Speaker 1: if you just do the math, most of the times
Speaker 1: you're sentenced to a federal crime, if you're not taken
Speaker 1: away immediately, you have a finite number of days to
Speaker 1: report to the federal pen And my guess is is
Speaker 1: that Biden didn't want to see his kid behind bars.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to be left to Trump whether or
Speaker 1: not Trump was going to do it or not, and
Speaker 1: so that's why he stepped in now and made the decision.
Speaker 1: But he also said that he decided over this past weekend.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any truth to that at all.
Speaker 1: I think this thing's been in the works for a while,
Speaker 1: don't you.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 8: I think it was always there. The idea that this
Speaker 8: was done on the spur of the moment, the reflection
Speaker 8: of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: That's hard to believe.
Speaker 8: These are calculating political figures. The advantages that Hunter Biden had,
Speaker 8: and he always used it even when he was defighting
Speaker 8: the subpoena in Congress, was that he knew his father
Speaker 8: was president, could partner him and He also knew that
Speaker 8: the Attorney General, Merrick Glin was never going to prosecute him.
Speaker 8: But they, let's say, prosecuted Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro
Speaker 8: for not showing up. And the committee that Davarro and
Speaker 8: Bannon was an illegally constituted committee, so one had significant objections,
Speaker 8: and there was the notion of executive privilege that could
Speaker 8: have also been put forward. But what we see here
Speaker 8: was an act of arrogance. So he knew that he
Speaker 8: could operate with impunity, and he was not charged with fara,
Speaker 8: he was not charged with money laundering, he was not
Speaker 8: charged with intimidation. There were a whole series of charges
Speaker 8: that the statue of limitations had expired on and David Weise,
Speaker 8: who was appointed during the Trump administration, was really a
Speaker 8: very sympathetic to the Delaware political community because there were
Speaker 8: no real Republicans there and so the two Democratic senators
Speaker 8: had to approve, and they had arranged for a deal
Speaker 8: when he pleaded guilty to the gun charges that he
Speaker 8: would be well, this was the deal before the trial,
Speaker 8: that he would be immune from all other prosecutions. We're
Speaker 8: seeing here is an act of corruption that has always
Speaker 8: exists but is now open and it's an ugly sore
Speaker 8: that the public can see. And this probably does as
Speaker 8: much damage to Joe Biden than all of the other
Speaker 8: activities he's done during.
Speaker 1: His fath I don't think he cares, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I think at the end of it all,
Speaker 1: the only he cares about it seems like his money
Speaker 1: and how much money can we make as a family,
Speaker 1: and you know anything else. You know, he probably figures
Speaker 1: I'll be dead and gone and they can say whatever
Speaker 1: they want. But history will not treat this guy kindly.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that if there's anything that's written
Speaker 1: objectively about history anymore, this guy is not going to
Speaker 1: stand the test of that of that time, not at all.
Speaker 1: Chatting with a presidential historian, doctor Frank M. Sorrentino, I
Speaker 1: got a couple of about a minute and a half here,
Speaker 1: doctor handicapped Trump's cabinet. Which one of the members do
Speaker 1: you think has any trouble or do you think they'll
Speaker 1: all cruise to they'll all cruise to confirmation when they
Speaker 1: all come before the Senate for advice and consent.
Speaker 8: Well, I think there are a few that are going
Speaker 8: to have some issues. Certainly Pete hegsead. Some of the
Speaker 8: charges against him are ugly, certainly having sexual relations while married.
Speaker 4: His mother came out called him a sexual.
Speaker 8: Dediot. That's not good when your mom is against you.
Speaker 8: But the one that I worry about the.
Speaker 4: Most is Tulsey Gabbert.
Speaker 8: I think she's an honest broker, but she went against
Speaker 8: so many powerful influences, her opposition to the.
Speaker 4: War in Ukraine, but more importantly.
Speaker 8: Her opposition to the war the Cia war in Syria,
Speaker 8: in which the United States was supporting both sides of
Speaker 8: the battle. She became the Sadoan, glided within the Democratic
Speaker 8: Party and had a bullseye on her.
Speaker 4: I mean, even people.
Speaker 8: Like Elizabeth Warren is engaged Union that she's a tool
Speaker 8: of the Russian government. I don't believe that for a moment.
Speaker 3: The same thing. I mean, it doesn't stick.
Speaker 8: Number one accuser, but this is she is vulnerable, and
Speaker 8: I think when you have a small Republican majority fifty
Speaker 8: three votes, you lose three votes, four votes, four votes.
Speaker 4: You're gone.
Speaker 8: And I'm not sure she will make it. And then
Speaker 8: the last one would be Cash Patel, who's not technically
Speaker 8: a member of the cabinet, but he would be the
Speaker 8: head of the FBI. Many people see him as a
Speaker 8: Trump loyalist.
Speaker 4: And while that's.
Speaker 8: Okay in some of the other positions, as the head
Speaker 8: of the f the eye which has been politicized, but
Speaker 8: will necessarily picked someone who's a loyalist. He's smart, he's articulate,
Speaker 8: he's had experience, but I think his nomination will also
Speaker 8: be in jeopardy.
Speaker 1: All right, well, doctor Sorrentino, we appreciate your weighing in
Speaker 1: with us today on the partner and all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, I love having you on the show again.
Speaker 1: You can find him at doctor Frank Msorrentino dot com
Speaker 1: in his book Again, which I have read and actually
Speaker 1: bought and given to other people because I just think
Speaker 1: it's great presidential power and the American political system. It
Speaker 1: is out there right now where you can find books,
Speaker 1: which is basically like Amazon. But anyway, doctor Sorrentino, great
Speaker 1: talking with you, and we'll visit again down the road.
Speaker 4: Thanks well, thank you so much. It's always a pleasure.
Speaker 1: Ken thank you coming up on twelve fifty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you think you would have been pardoned if you had
Speaker 1: those felony convictions hanging over your head. I think old
Speaker 1: Joe would have called you up said Hey, I'm just
Speaker 1: calling from DC, and you know, I saw what's going on,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think they're selectively and unfairly prosecuting you.
Speaker 1: I'm going to pardon you. You stand by the phone and

Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WTWLW the average American and for
Speaker 1: the great American. Glad you are with us on this Monday,
Speaker 1: Cyber Monday. We'll see what kind of records are broken
Speaker 1: today as people flocked to the internet for bargains. In fact,
Speaker 1: I was just reading this about an hour or two ago,
Speaker 1: that they're expecting they being you know, the major retailers
Speaker 1: are expecting a box office business again this year. Gallup
Speaker 1: has a survey out that said shoppers plan to spend
Speaker 1: more than one thousand dollars on holiday gifts this year,
Speaker 1: which is a robust number considering we are still in
Speaker 1: the midst of fighting inflation, high gas prices and other
Speaker 1: things like that. And so maybe it's the fact that
Speaker 1: there is a regime change coming in Washington, that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is going to be back in the White House,
Speaker 1: and that Congress is now controlled both houses by the Republicans.
Speaker 1: Maybe something else going on here. And when there's something
Speaker 1: else going on economically, we like to turn to a
Speaker 1: good guest with this program. He is a CPA and
Speaker 1: money manager, and he is a tell it like it
Speaker 1: is guy, and that's our good buddy Bill Dendy, Bill,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Monday.
Speaker 9: Man, It's great to be with you. It seems like
Speaker 9: everybody in the office here is shopping online, and they
Speaker 9: must be doing that at everybody's office, because, you know,
Speaker 9: the retailers are all excited that Black Friday just was
Speaker 9: particularly good.
Speaker 3: Black.
Speaker 9: I mean they made profits. You know, they call Black
Speaker 9: Friday Black Friday because for some retailers is when they
Speaker 9: finally go from operating in the red and deficits to
Speaker 9: finally making a profit. They really count these last usually
Speaker 9: six weeks or so of the year. It's a little
Speaker 9: trunk head this year, but so far, so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a week less time to shop in
Speaker 1: between Thanksgiving and Christmas Thanksgiving for later in the calendar. Bill,
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, do you place any any logic in
Speaker 1: the theory that because of the regime change and that
Speaker 1: you know, the markets and financially as a country, we
Speaker 1: tend to do better under Republicans than Democrats. Do you
Speaker 1: place any logic in that theory?
Speaker 9: Yes, And I think a lot of people don't think
Speaker 9: it all the way through. But I do believe people
Speaker 9: feel good right now. I feel that people feel good.
Speaker 9: Even those who said, but I voted for the other side, Well,
Speaker 9: they feel good when they look at their investment statements,
Speaker 9: when they go to work and they realize, yeah, they
Speaker 9: still got a job. It's not like companies are laying
Speaker 9: off in droves like they were. They're not hiring in
Speaker 9: droves either. It's kind of like we're If you got
Speaker 9: a job, it's pretty comfortable now. If you don't have
Speaker 9: a job, it's taking longer to find another one. But
Speaker 9: those who have jobs are feeling like, I'm okay, I'm
Speaker 9: going to have a job in January, in February and things.
Speaker 9: Inflation has been a beating, but I'm getting used to it,
Speaker 9: and I'm feeling good because my portfolio value has all
Speaker 9: jumped up over the last couple of months. So my
Speaker 9: four to oh one K is looking good, my IRA
Speaker 9: is looking good, and some of that moved up because
Speaker 9: of the administration change, because people believe that the Republicans
Speaker 9: are going to be able to go ahead and lower
Speaker 9: corporate tax rates, which will leave earnings directly for corporations,
Speaker 9: which leads to higher stock prices, as well as deregulation,
Speaker 9: which leads to more corporate profit which leads to higher
Speaker 9: stock prices. So I think people are seeing the results
Speaker 9: already and it's that happy feeling. It's given them confidence
Speaker 9: to go ahead and pull out that credit card and
Speaker 9: spend the money this holiday season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these last five weeks of calendar year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Unless something drastic changes. Those who are you know, have
Speaker 1: financial portfolios and whatnot, they're doing well.
Speaker 3: The Dow is up, it.
Speaker 1: Is kissing forty five thousand, which it's not that long ago.
Speaker 1: During COVID, we know it was down in the teens
Speaker 1: s and p is up today again it's over six thousand.
Speaker 1: These are high territories. But I get pushback sometimes from
Speaker 1: people that say, well, wait a minute, and I don't
Speaker 1: have any financial investments. I don't own stock, I don't
Speaker 1: have a four to oh one k. And my answer
Speaker 1: to them is, Okay, that's your choice, by job choice
Speaker 1: or by savings. But understand that someone above you, most
Speaker 1: notably the people that own the company or the business
Speaker 1: you work for, they're beholden to what happens financially, and
Speaker 1: if they're not doing well, chances are you're out the door.
Speaker 1: Or if they are doing well, chances are you're in
Speaker 1: line for a nice raise. So all of this stuff
Speaker 1: that may sound like Wall Street gibberish, it really isn't.
Speaker 1: It comes right back down to the average guy walking
Speaker 1: around the streets here in the greater Cincinnati area. Does
Speaker 1: it not?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 9: And I know it's difficult for some people to see
Speaker 9: the connections, but I would you rather live in an
Speaker 9: area where people are employed and prosperous in doing well,
Speaker 9: even if I'm not doing as well personally, because in
Speaker 9: that type of environment you have more generosity, you have
Speaker 9: more giving, you have more positive activity, and you have
Speaker 9: more opportunities. And so even if I was just getting started,
Speaker 9: my young son is twenty two years old and he's
Speaker 9: graduating this year from college, talking about well, maybe this
Speaker 9: isn't a great time, I'm like, gosh, unemployment rates are low,
Speaker 9: science is great, expansion is wonderful. There's a lot of reason.
Speaker 10: To be positive.
Speaker 9: And I think that the connections are sometimes lost on
Speaker 9: those who feel disenfranchised or not franchised yet or not
Speaker 9: directly impacted. But they are directly impacted. And the ability
Speaker 9: to finish up a college year and the ability to
Speaker 9: be deciding on what you're going to do next and
Speaker 9: have that leisure and not having to go take whatever
Speaker 9: job comes your way because you have to make ends meet,
Speaker 9: because a family needs money is a blessing that I
Speaker 9: think a lot of folks, maybe a whole generation, is
Speaker 9: missed out on. But we should remember to be grateful
Speaker 9: to enjoy this time because we do know that markets
Speaker 9: do run in cycles. I do think that on personal level,
Speaker 9: we shouldn't get complacent during times like this, but certainly
Speaker 9: enjoy the good time while we have.
Speaker 1: We're not just talking about a feeling here. This is
Speaker 1: backed up by stats. US consumer confidence increased to a
Speaker 1: sixteen month high in November, largely over optimism in the
Speaker 1: labor market, lower inflation, and also because of what happened
Speaker 1: in the election about a month ago. And you mentioned
Speaker 1: your son, who's twenty two. I'm looking in the same report.
Speaker 1: There's confidence, a real rise in confident, confidence in what
Speaker 1: we're doing here where we may be going from an
Speaker 1: economic standpoint, and it's being led by the under thirty
Speaker 1: five crowd. And if I'm under thirty five, you know,
Speaker 1: I may have debt from college, I might not be
Speaker 1: working in my chosen profession. I might not be using
Speaker 1: my degree the way I wanted to want to use it.
Speaker 1: I might not be working at all, but if I
Speaker 1: am under thirty five years old and I'm looking at this,
Speaker 1: it seems like there is at that age group a
Speaker 1: lot of confidence as to where this country is going.
Speaker 1: And to me, that means more than if you're in
Speaker 1: that twenty five to fifty four group, or maybe the
Speaker 1: thirty five to fifty four group, because they're already established.
Speaker 1: It's the younger crowd that normally has the difficulty gaining
Speaker 1: traction early on in their careers, so this is really
Speaker 1: good news for them.
Speaker 9: This is positive for them, and an expanding economy is
Speaker 9: a positive thing for them, and the idea that we're
Speaker 9: going to have policies to keep it expanding. Its positive
Speaker 9: for those who are looking for the opportunities to get
Speaker 9: started and to make the market, and even for those
Speaker 9: who are mid career looking to move forward. Expansion generally
Speaker 9: is a very positive thing.
Speaker 1: The one thing I do see here that's a red
Speaker 1: flag is the housing market. I see here plans to
Speaker 1: buy a new home drop sharply over the next six months.
Speaker 1: Mortgage rates certainly have not come down the way we
Speaker 1: would have hoped they would have come down, despite what
Speaker 1: the FED is doing at the national level. I know
Speaker 1: the two aren't directly linked to each other, but there
Speaker 1: is a residual effect. And new home sales were down
Speaker 1: almost ten percent October to October twenty three to twenty four,
Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering. They always say the housing market
Speaker 1: is a leading indicator of where we're going. This would
Speaker 1: seem to run concurrently to what we've been talking about
Speaker 1: about consumer confidence being up. What about the housing market?
Speaker 1: Where do you see that going well?
Speaker 9: It may still be a challenge for the housing market.
Speaker 9: And the interest rates did come down, the FED drop
Speaker 9: the FED guns rates by fifty basis points and again
Speaker 9: by another twenty five based points in November, and the
Speaker 9: Fed plans to continue to reduce that. But they may
Speaker 9: be running headlong with expansionary policies which tend to be inflationary,
Speaker 9: which may prevent them from continuing on with the planned reductions,
Speaker 9: which is not good for the housing market. It means
Speaker 9: that those sort of your mortgages may not decrease. Then
Speaker 9: we already saw that they decreased a little bit and
Speaker 9: then came back up, so housing can may continue to
Speaker 9: be a problem. It may be still an impediment to growth.
Speaker 9: But in addition, young people not wanting to buy. It's
Speaker 9: kind of interesting. It seems like the younger generation is
Speaker 9: not buying the homes as quickly as previous generations. Fact,
Speaker 9: they didn't drive their vehicles as quickly as previous generations.
Speaker 9: They're not getting married as quickly, they're not having their
Speaker 9: children as quickly and all that may not be a negative,
Speaker 9: but it does cause economists to scratch ahead and reifine,
Speaker 9: is the housing market and all that it needs to
Speaker 9: still the indicator.
Speaker 3: That it used to be for economic growth? Yeah it is.
Speaker 3: That's an interesting thought.
Speaker 1: And you know, there is a genuine lack of rental
Speaker 1: property in this country. And again I'm thinking more entrepreneur
Speaker 1: than anything else. If I really wanted to invest in something,
Speaker 1: you know, rental property would not be a bad thing
Speaker 1: to invest in. I think you can make as a
Speaker 1: rent error, you can make a lot of money, and
Speaker 1: a rentee would then have an option to maybe move
Speaker 1: into that kind of housing long before they're ready to
Speaker 1: or desire to on a home. I think that might
Speaker 1: be that might be untapped revenue for a lot of
Speaker 1: this under thirty five crowd.
Speaker 3: What do you think it's very positive.
Speaker 9: But keep in mind that it's not easy passive income
Speaker 9: all the time. It's if you'll put your labor and
Speaker 9: your intelligence with your money, you should make a better
Speaker 9: return than a passive investment ever could. And I think
Speaker 9: that's generally the case. For those who will take the
Speaker 9: time and put their labor and their intelligence with their dollars,
Speaker 9: they should do well. And things properly purchased and managemental
Speaker 9: properties can sure do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point. Bill Dendy always great catching
Speaker 1: up with you.
Speaker 3: Bill.
Speaker 1: You speak truth and you can find Bill at Raymond

Speaker 1: Thanks for your time. We appreciate it. Stay well, Okay,
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 9: Always a pleasure to be with you.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Look, if the under thirty five crowd is confident, that's
Speaker 1: something because of all the challenges that I just laid
Speaker 1: out about that particular age group, the boomers, they've either
Speaker 1: made it or they haven't made it at this point.
Speaker 1: And even as you get back into the millennials and
Speaker 1: the Genet even in back to gen X, it's you know,
Speaker 1: you're pretty much at a position right now where you
Speaker 1: can still do something about it, but it's going to
Speaker 1: be more difficult than it would be for the gen
Speaker 1: Z crowd if they're confident as to where this is going.
Speaker 1: This is good news for all of us anyway. Everybody
Speaker 1: seems to be up on the balls of their feet
Speaker 1: today and that's good. Maybe it's because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because Christmas is on the horizon. Onnica's on
Speaker 1: the horizon, New Year's is on the horizon. It's certainly
Speaker 1: not because of the Bengals. One twenty one News Radio

Speaker 13: Now seven times the President would not pardon or community
Speaker 13: sentences for his son Hunter. I just want to make
Speaker 13: sure that is not going to change field to the
Speaker 13: next six months. The President's say they would not.
Speaker 9: Still, it's still a no.
Speaker 3: It's still and will always It's still a no.
Speaker 1: It will be a no.
Speaker 11: It is a no.
Speaker 3: And I don't have anything else to add.
Speaker 7: Will he pardon his son?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 3: And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Hello, quiet, and I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Seg over your time here at w l W. Everybody
Speaker 1: knows you've committed several major transgressions, and I'm just here
Speaker 1: to tell you that I have consulted with the management
Speaker 1: here after very lengthy discussions over the last four or
Speaker 1: five days, and they have commissioned me to issue you
Speaker 1: a pardon for everything that you might or may not
Speaker 1: have done in your time at the Big One. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, ken Brew. So you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about prison time when it's all done, okay, because I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to see you go someplace like chuck a
Speaker 1: copy or maybe it goes.
Speaker 12: To Ohio's first capital though, Well if at that home
Speaker 12: of famous Alison Wyatt news cast for Extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Well, they also have an incarceration facility there, or Sue,
Speaker 1: maybe Levenworth. They wouldn't want to see you go to
Speaker 1: Levenworth or Attica. I wouldn't want to do that. What
Speaker 1: the yeah? I just want to see you live out
Speaker 1: your final years in peace, thank you?
Speaker 12: Ken Brew now seg how about that? How about that?
Speaker 12: And that's not getting any hull of balloo? What if
Speaker 12: that's the Trumpster? Are they going to pardon him?
Speaker 1: Well, it's opened the door for the Trumpster to pardon himself.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's open for the Trumpster to part in
Speaker 1: all those j sixers, right, don't uh?
Speaker 3: I mean now?
Speaker 12: And then you know they're they're the Democrats are probably
Speaker 12: going to go crazy if that happens. Well, and then
Speaker 12: it's like, well wait a minute, you said you weren't
Speaker 12: going to pardon your kid. Now all of a sudden, Yeah,
Speaker 12: I will anything anything to do with that. Tell all
Speaker 12: book that the Big H is apparently writing.
Speaker 1: Well it may be, but all I know is Joe
Speaker 1: Biden began his presidency with a lie when he said
Speaker 1: there would be no mandated vaccines. And he's ending it
Speaker 1: with a lie when he said he would not pardon
Speaker 1: his son. So that's about all you need to know
Speaker 1: about the last four years.
Speaker 12: Ken Brew, the stood Reporters, the proud service of your
Speaker 12: local Tamestar Heating and air conditioning dealers.
Speaker 3: Temestar quality you.
Speaker 1: Can feel in beautiful Northern Kentucky.
Speaker 3: Call any weather Heating and air at.
Speaker 12: Eight five nine, seven, eight, one forty eight twenty two
Speaker 12: hard and you need that right now, ken Brew. You
Speaker 12: need a temestar who needed gold. It's it's not going
Speaker 12: to get warmer anytime soon.
Speaker 1: No, it's not.
Speaker 12: No Bengals update brought to you by good Spirits, Winding
Speaker 12: Tobacco and Party Town. Let's get there. It's where they
Speaker 12: should have went before and after the game. It might
Speaker 12: have thirteen locations in Northern Kentucky your tailgate headquarters. Yeah,
Speaker 12: let's see, uh four and eight now, ken Brew? And
Speaker 12: what three percent chance now of making the playoffs? Let
Speaker 12: me let me clarify that zero zero? Oh okay, now
Speaker 12: it's up to zero. Okay, five and twenty yards they
Speaker 12: allowed to Steelers.
Speaker 1: Do you know how hard that is? Say rudle me this. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: they're coming out of the two minute warning. Right, Justin
Speaker 1: Fields is on the field, correct, What does Justin Fields
Speaker 1: do more often than not run for first downs? Fingo, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you know that Justin Fields isn't in there to
Speaker 1: whale the ball down field to George Pickens. You know,
Speaker 1: Justin Fields isn't in there to hand off the Nasei Harris,
Speaker 1: He's gonna do something with it, and he takes off
Speaker 1: the entire tri State was screaming, He's gotta run the ball.
Speaker 1: And of course what does he do? Runs the ball
Speaker 1: first down? And that's the name of that story.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I had Tim McGear with me about an hour and
Speaker 1: a half ago. He said, there is one guy on
Speaker 1: that defense that had been charged with spying on Justin Fields.
Speaker 1: And apparently, whoever that guy is, didn't do his job,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I like to know who that guy.
Speaker 1: Not too many of them did. Yesterday. You looked at
Speaker 1: lou Ana Roumo immediately after that play. It was like
Speaker 1: a guy whose kid had just banged his car into
Speaker 1: the mailbox at the end of the driveway when he
Speaker 1: told the kid watch out for the mailbox at the
Speaker 1: end of the driveway. That's what that look looked like.
Speaker 12: More on Bengals Line about that tonight at six five
Speaker 12: right here on seven hundred WLW and up next, ken
Speaker 12: Brew a Monday Night Football special in the Big D
Speaker 12: this Monday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing special about that game.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 12: Cleveland and Denver tonight. Yeah, they are getting the really
Speaker 12: good ones on Monday Night Football Denver, Denver's pretty good.
Speaker 12: Eight o'clock on ESPN fifteen to thirty. College football. The
Speaker 12: Miami RedHawks getting ready for the MAC Championship game set
Speaker 12: for Saturday against against the ou Bob Kats and Detroit
Speaker 12: America's team, and Brett Gabert today named the Mid American
Speaker 12: Conference Offensive Player of the Week for they win over
Speaker 12: Bowling Green eighteen to twenty eight for two hundred and
Speaker 12: fifty five yards and three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Miami rolls into Motown. You know that, You know, Miami
Speaker 1: beat the battling Bobcats in the regular Caesar True, that's correct.
Speaker 1: You know they often say this in Athens. They say,
Speaker 1: fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice. You'll
Speaker 1: be the first.
Speaker 3: We'll find out. What happens.
Speaker 12: They say, Big ten is find Michigan and Ohio State
Speaker 12: one hundred thousand dollars each for those roles. In Saturday's postgame,
Speaker 12: Melee and Columbus.
Speaker 1: What's the most fight that the Ohio State football team
Speaker 1: put up when when that flag go If they.
Speaker 12: Would have had the energy they had when during the
Speaker 12: fight during the game, they would have won sixty three
Speaker 12: to nothing.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this about all these flag planning things.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 12: Yeah, they had like they had like seven or eight fights.
Speaker 12: Rocky had one. Rocky had Florida State. In Florida, they
Speaker 12: went at it, Arizona State and Arizona. The two mascots,
Speaker 12: the one mascot beat the you know what out of
Speaker 12: the other mascot on the sideline.
Speaker 1: Rufus against Brutus all those years.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: But my point is is, what's the what are you
Speaker 1: trying to do? I'm going to because we just beat
Speaker 1: your team? It's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: What are you?
Speaker 1: Twelve are up at a treehouse? What are you doing?
Speaker 12: But you know what, though, Ken Brew Texas and Texas
Speaker 12: A and M. They had almost a brew Haha, that's
Speaker 12: not but the Texas team stayed on the field. Texas
Speaker 12: A and M left, So what did the Longhorns do
Speaker 12: come over and uh with their cleats, scrape up the
Speaker 12: logo in Texas A and M. If they would have
Speaker 12: done that, world War three would have started.
Speaker 1: Well, guess what, it's the SEC. So nobody will get fined.
Speaker 12: Well, they know they'll probably find them, you think so
Speaker 12: otherwa I saw on Twitter too that they said that
Speaker 12: college presidents and athletic directors got to look at the tapes,
Speaker 12: look who got into it, and and suspend their players
Speaker 12: college got into have.
Speaker 1: To take the pipes out of their mouths and thus
Speaker 1: the dandrip off their shoulders and before they do anything.
Speaker 3: And then also, you know, get the nil money. You
Speaker 3: know what.
Speaker 1: Here's here's my whole take on this. All you got
Speaker 1: to say is don't do it. And if you do it,
Speaker 1: you don't do it. But if you do it, then
Speaker 1: you're not playing next week. Any idiot that goes out
Speaker 1: there with a flag, you're playing it next week. Correct,
Speaker 1: you're going to sit out. I don't care what it
Speaker 1: costs the university. And so they're all in their faculty
Speaker 1: lounge at academia, they can just come up with this idea.
Speaker 1: Until you know, Joe Doakes, who's the athletic director. Tell
Speaker 1: your players that if they don't, they're going to get
Speaker 1: They're going to get benched next week. And then guess
Speaker 1: what you'll lose and then we'll hold you accountable.
Speaker 12: And that line and smoking and the bandit ken Brew.
Speaker 12: If you think, if you think about it, don't do it.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 1: Choose, but choose wisely.
Speaker 3: Then go.
Speaker 12: Good luck to Anderson against avon Thursday night for the
Speaker 12: Division two State Ohio title.
Speaker 1: What do they call now? They have a new nickname, Raptors.
Speaker 12: Raptors ok Moeler and Old in Tangi Liberty for the
Speaker 12: Division I title.
Speaker 3: Friday in Campton got a good quarterback.
Speaker 1: Kentucky should have been out there at the end of
Speaker 1: the game instead of Will Howard.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.
Speaker 12: I'm just saying, too, Kentucky State championships. Friday Beachwood looking
Speaker 12: for a championship number one million.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're every year beach Yeah, single A title.
Speaker 12: They're not playing in the two A title game. Something's
Speaker 12: wrong with America. It's not a two A title game.
Speaker 12: Bing go Saturday. Cooper is going in for the five
Speaker 12: A crown and then Ryle goes for the six eight titles.
Speaker 12: We could have possibly what five state football champions to
Speaker 12: go with our fifty soccer and volleyball champs.
Speaker 1: All I know is this, Yes, television news directors at five, nine, twelve,
Speaker 1: and nineteen are passing out because they're going to have
Speaker 1: to pay overtime to get highlights of these games. That's
Speaker 1: for sure. The only thing they hate worse than high
Speaker 1: school football championship weekend with multiple teams. The only thing
Speaker 1: news directors hate more is March madness. They'll pass out
Speaker 1: right because it's overtime. I can't any overtime. I can't
Speaker 1: can't do that, and then they don't cover it, you know,
Speaker 1: and then people ring ring ring in the newsroom then go,
Speaker 1: you know what, And I knew back in mind if
Speaker 1: they're calling spat, I'm not answering that I didn't make
Speaker 1: that decision. I wanted to send somebody, send it into
Speaker 1: Ralph wholl You know, either got to made the decision.
Speaker 12: Xavier holds off South Carolina State last night that it
Speaker 12: could have been a gimmey. But yeah, not good, not pretty.
Speaker 12: Let's see, let's see the Red bear Cat. The Bearcats
Speaker 12: six and zero are up two spots this week. The
Speaker 12: fourteenth and the ap pole. Yeah, Kentucky is fourth. Yes,
Speaker 12: Xavier is playing well. Zavid just didn't play well. Pretty right,
Speaker 12: but they played some tough teams. I think they're you know,
Speaker 12: Sean Miller does the same thing every year. Purdue was eighth.
Speaker 12: U Xaver dropped out of their number thirty three. I
Speaker 12: thought Dayton again, Dad Dayton got twenty four votes. Yukon
Speaker 12: dropped twenty three spots to twenty fifth.
Speaker 1: Well, they did not have a very good week. Plays
Speaker 1: they may. They didn't have a good time in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Good like it. They almost got arrested from by Hawaii.
Speaker 3: Five.
Speaker 1: Oh and book them. Dano say, let's go back to
Speaker 1: the Bengals for a second. Yes, sir, here's my list
Speaker 1: of these guys that are on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the Bengals. He here, let me. I'm gonna reel off
Speaker 1: some names here for you. These are the players that
Speaker 1: they currently have that I think they should keep. Okay,
Speaker 1: these are the only players Dax Hill like him. He's hurt,
Speaker 1: but he's not on the roster. I mean he's on
Speaker 1: the roster, but he's hurt. I keep Chris Jenkins because
Speaker 1: he's young. He's only been here for a couple of months.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four draft, I'll take that. Trey Hendrickson, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: top of the game. He's got a year left on
Speaker 1: his contract. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 1: DJ Turner he's hurt, right, he's hurt, but still I
Speaker 1: think he was coming on. And Logan Wilson and no,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't keep anybody else. DJ Hill's an unrestricted
Speaker 1: free agent, Mike Kelton's an unrestricted free agent. Joseph Assi
Speaker 1: is an unrestricted free agent. So who knows if they
Speaker 1: can keep them. I think Logan Wilson's got a couple
Speaker 1: of more years to go on his contract. But those
Speaker 1: are the only people that I'd keep. I mean, they
Speaker 1: got as as Timmy McGee said, they got players, but
Speaker 1: they don't have difference makers on defense. Correct, And they're drafted.
Speaker 1: They're they're they're drafting these defensive players that come in. Hey,
Speaker 1: they don't make a difference. Miles Murphy. Where's Miles Murphy been?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Have you seen him? I haven't seen
Speaker 1: him at all. I don't know. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on. Well that's the problem. I don't think a
Speaker 1: lot of people know.
Speaker 3: What's going on.
Speaker 1: So Justin Fields yesterday said there was nothing more obvious
Speaker 1: in my life, anything in the time I've spent on
Speaker 1: this earth, than that Justin Fields was going to carry
Speaker 1: that football right on that play. And why that did
Speaker 1: not dawn on whoever was told you're the spy on
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Why that didn't dawn on that player is
Speaker 1: beyond me. I don't know.
Speaker 3: And it just it backles.
Speaker 1: How can the Steelers get five hundred and twenty yards
Speaker 1: and Andy that that's like four games of offense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty yards. I agree, I agree, Ken Brew.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's just a it's just
Speaker 1: a know what they say, goes through a goose. That's
Speaker 1: the way the Steelers were going through that defense, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. I'm just saying sick. I'm not saying anything
Speaker 1: that's not I know, I know you're obvious. I'm worked
Speaker 1: up about this. Reaching to the choir. CA You've got
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. You're gonna have to pay through the nose
Speaker 1: right to keep Jamar Chase the deal last year. Now
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay even more money.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have t Higgins next year. Nope, uh
Speaker 1: or is it and the and Chase Brown's the only
Speaker 1: running back they got right, right, And then they gave
Speaker 1: up on where he had six one hundred yard games
Speaker 1: that year and he had one on Sunday, thank you,
Speaker 1: And they draft Jermaine Burton, thinking well, there, you know
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's who's gonna replace t Higgins. That guy,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where his head is at.
Speaker 1: I guess they got they had him returning kicks you yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you've got one of, if not,
Speaker 1: the top quarterback in the NFL and one of, if not,
Speaker 1: the top wide receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 3: And you can't figure out that after.
Speaker 1: A while, it's you know, Burrow's going to take one
Speaker 1: too many hits and he might say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do this anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, you've got Jamar Chase. You know he's getting
Speaker 1: doubled every single play. People were yelling and screaming. I
Speaker 1: was watched I go on the internet part. Do you
Speaker 1: ever go on the internet? Have you seen this thing
Speaker 1: that the internet where people wanted yea all the time?
Speaker 1: Well they got this thing called Twitter. Have you heard
Speaker 1: of this thing? Yes, AA, it's unbelievable. But anyway, people
Speaker 1: were yelling and screaming. I guess there were Steeler fans
Speaker 1: about Joey Porter getting so many flags, and I'm thinking, well,
Speaker 1: I'm watching that too, But Joey Porter got four or
Speaker 1: five flags or whatever. But you know what, he probably
Speaker 1: committed a half dozen more, maybe nine more penalties that
Speaker 1: weren't called. So he's figuring, well, they're not going to
Speaker 1: catch me on every play. I'll just do these five
Speaker 1: or six plays. And you know he's neutering. He's neutering
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and it's because they can't block.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: You know, Burrow has got a It's amazing what they
Speaker 1: can do. It's amazing what they can do on offense.
Speaker 1: But if you've got to score forty four, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If you've got to score forty five to beat the Steelers,
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they're gonna have to do with
Speaker 1: you know again with Dallas next week. I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that there's nine as. There's not a three
Speaker 1: percent chance, there's like a minus three percent chance. I'll
Speaker 1: worked up seg. If you haven't go get ready for
Speaker 1: opening day, ken Brew, I think I might have spin
Speaker 1: on my I spin on my shirt here seg think.
Speaker 12: So they all worked up today, worked up more than
Speaker 12: the Austin Elmore's worked up with the Ohio State loss.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, I mean about that mess. He was
Speaker 1: not a happy camp for yesterday. Say get us out
Speaker 1: of the stooge report. Hopefully you'll be here again in
Speaker 1: a matter of minutes.
Speaker 3: Ken Brew, Happy birthday to the King.
Speaker 1: Elvis. Not no, not Richard Petty, Rocky Boyman's dog, Elvis
Speaker 1: is fifteen years old today, No kidding, right. Wonder if
Speaker 1: Rocky got him a cake? I hope so. Well not
Speaker 1: it's a big biscuit, a big biscuit, b milk bone
Speaker 1: dog biscuit. Absolutely, we'll see in a little bit, I hope.
Speaker 1: So say, because I'm going to be here and you
Speaker 1: know you can go. But I've absolved you with my pardon,
Speaker 1: so feel free to conduct your life any way you
Speaker 1: want it.
Speaker 3: Thank you. It's a frightening thought for all of us.
Speaker 1: On seven hundred w welw print while in the Treasure
Speaker 1: for risk all right back on the big one. It's
Speaker 1: the average American in for the great American on this
Speaker 1: Monday break.
Speaker 3: To have you with us.
Speaker 1: We are closing in on a month down the road
Speaker 1: from the election. That'll be tomorrow. And there's no question
Speaker 1: that immigration was a huge factor in Donald Trump regaining
Speaker 1: power regaining the presidency. Swing voters broke for Trump fifty
Speaker 1: two percent versus thirty eight percent for Harris, and swing
Speaker 1: voters voters broke late for Donald Trump on this election,
Speaker 1: and among total swing voters who ultimately chose Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: immigration was a key issue, seventy seven percent of them
Speaker 1: believing that it was extremely or very accurate to say
Speaker 1: Democrats are not quote tough enough on addressing the border
Speaker 1: crisis end quote. It is a problem with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: needs to address it, needs to address quickly, How quickly,
Speaker 1: how effective will he be able to address it? And
Speaker 1: what happens when the media, the bleeding hearts in the
Speaker 1: media began showing his pictures and write stories about families
Speaker 1: being separated in various locations around the country, regardless of
Speaker 1: whether or not there is a criminal in that family
Speaker 1: who came here illegally to do god knows what to
Speaker 1: this country, regardless of all of that, because the media
Speaker 1: doesn't get all that wrapped up on details, what happens
Speaker 1: when they begin painting that picture and how it will
Speaker 1: effect about how Donald Trump goes about his business. Standing
Speaker 1: by the way, in as someone whose opinion matters greatly
Speaker 1: on this, we have had Andrew Arthur on the show before.
Speaker 1: He is a law and policy expert at the Center
Speaker 1: for Immigration Studies, and he has carved out some time
Speaker 1: to spend with us right here on seven hundred W
Speaker 1: welw and Andrew, how are you on this glorious day, Ken,
Speaker 1: I'm doing great.
Speaker 15: It's a beautiful day here in North Carolina. The states
Speaker 15: start to recover and we're getting ready for the Christmas season. Chili,
Speaker 15: though first be warm in the South, not that way today.
Speaker 1: Stand that North Carolina hopefully digging out from the devastation
Speaker 1: of that hurricane. It is a beautiful state. I spent
Speaker 1: a part of last December in North Carolina. I just
Speaker 1: love that state, all right, So you've been busy on
Speaker 1: this topic. I just just for a matter of I
Speaker 1: guess clarity. There were studies done on this, and there
Speaker 1: were studies that just basically reinforced what I just said.
Speaker 1: There's no question immigration and the philosophical approach to it
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration was absolutely paramount in this election.
Speaker 1: How long do you think it's going to take Donald
Speaker 1: Trump to undo what Joe Biden and his people did
Speaker 1: to this country from an immigration standpoint over the last
Speaker 1: three and a half years, or would it be asking
Speaker 1: too much to ask Donald Trump to undo it in
Speaker 1: the four years he'll have in the Oval office.
Speaker 15: That's a great question, Ken, And you know, to start with,
Speaker 15: let me just say that Donald Trump probably picked the
Speaker 15: best man that he could to be the quarterback on
Speaker 15: his team at the White House on this issue. Tom Homan. Tom,
Speaker 15: of course, was the former Deputy Director of ICE under
Speaker 15: Barack Obama when he headed the Enforcement Removal Operations Unit.
Speaker 15: He was also an acting ICE director under President Trump.
Speaker 15: Just a guy who literally came up from the streets.
Speaker 15: He was a cop and then he became a Border
Speaker 15: patrol agent, worked his way up through ICE. Really knows
Speaker 15: the ins and outs of this. And you know, can
Speaker 15: remember back to a time when we were actually effectively
Speaker 15: running the border, when we were effectively removing people from
Speaker 15: the United States, and when we didn't leave the back
Speaker 15: door open for any and all to come in. So
Speaker 15: I think that you know, you've probably got the best
Speaker 15: person out of all three hundred and thirty five million
Speaker 15: Americans in charge of this issue. But the question that
Speaker 15: jazz is bigger than that. And when you talk about
Speaker 15: the numbers of people who are here illegally, we can't
Speaker 15: even really get a grasp on it. You'll hear numbers
Speaker 15: anywhere between eleven point three million to about twenty five million.
Speaker 15: We estimate that it's something between thirteen and fifteen million,
Speaker 15: and a lot of those people literally just showed up,
Speaker 15: just showed up in the last four years, so they
Speaker 15: really haven't put down the sorts of roots that you're
Speaker 15: talking about. But can consider the fact that there are
Speaker 15: more than five hundred thousand migrant children in our schools
Speaker 15: right now. I mean that's a huge number of people.
Speaker 15: And extricating, you know, children from the community, sending them
Speaker 15: back home, that's going to require a lot of political will.
Speaker 15: And I think that you know, when you look at
Speaker 15: the numbers that you just cited, those are from Blueprint Analyzes.
Speaker 15: Blueprint is a democratic organization, so they're looking at this
Speaker 15: with a pretty clear eye. You know, this was a
Speaker 15: major issue, and the American people want something done, if
Speaker 15: you want my honest assessment, though Donald Trump's not really
Speaker 15: going to be able to undo just the damage in
Speaker 15: the last four years, during the four years that he's
Speaker 15: going to have, I estimate that it's going to take
Speaker 15: about a decade. It's probably going to cost about a
Speaker 15: trillion dollars to extricate the United States from this. Now,
Speaker 15: that's not a trillion dollar spent on removing people. Removing
Speaker 15: people is actually a lot cheaper proposition. But when it
Speaker 15: comes to caring for all of those people, you know,
Speaker 15: about eight million people who have arrived over the last
Speaker 15: four years, you know, in providing aid to you know,
Speaker 15: the school districts and the cities and the towns, the
Speaker 15: police forces that are going to need to deal with
Speaker 15: immigrant crime, you're going to rack up a trillion dollar
Speaker 15: build pretty quickly. And unfortunately, a lot of that money
Speaker 15: isn't going to be paid by the federal government. A
Speaker 15: lot of that is going to be paid by state
Speaker 15: and local officials as they deal with this, try to
Speaker 15: you know, handle and provide for the children, provide medical
Speaker 15: care for people who are sick. This is a mess,
Speaker 15: and I don't even think that the American people appreciate
Speaker 15: how big a mass is. I think that over the
Speaker 15: next two years, we're actually going to start to see
Speaker 15: some of those costs come do, and the American people
Speaker 15: are you know, just going to support uh, you know,
Speaker 15: the Trump policies even more than they have. But there's
Speaker 15: gonna be a lot of pushback and media is going
Speaker 15: to show you a picture of you know, every you know,
Speaker 15: mother and child that ends up getting removed and you know,
Speaker 15: try to play on the heart streaks of the American people.
Speaker 15: I just don't know how successful that's going to be.
Speaker 1: I don't either, And honestly, I think if they're if
Speaker 1: they're smart, what what they'll do. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think Trump is smart. I think what he's going to
Speaker 1: wind up doing is going after the the the people
Speaker 1: that have entered this country that have committed crimes either
Speaker 1: in this country when they arrived or have a criminal
Speaker 1: past that they might have brought with them from another country.
Speaker 1: I think if he tries to go in and separate
Speaker 1: mother from child and things like that, that's that's a
Speaker 1: that's a that's a non win from him. But I
Speaker 1: think initially he can stop what's going over the southern border.
Speaker 1: We already see that Mexico really wants to play ball
Speaker 1: because they don't want to be tariffed, same with Canada
Speaker 1: as well. So you have that, I think you'll physically
Speaker 1: try and finish that border wall. And if he does,
Speaker 1: indeed have fifty three Republicans in con well, he's got
Speaker 1: he's got fifty plus his vice president and then three
Speaker 1: people that you know, they may be Republicans, they may
Speaker 1: not be Collins and Murkowski and McConnell. We'll see exactly
Speaker 1: where they go with these votes. But if if indeed
Speaker 1: can get that wall finished and can start extricating the
Speaker 1: criminals that are in this country, I think that will
Speaker 1: go a long way in curtailing a new people coming
Speaker 1: in and b maybe getting the message out to other
Speaker 1: people they should not be in this country in the
Speaker 1: first place. I think that's where Homan starts, don't you.
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, absolutely, In fact, mister Homan has said that
Speaker 15: is going.
Speaker 3: To be where he starts.
Speaker 15: You know, there are hundreds of thousands and estimated, you know,
Speaker 15: seven hundred thousand criminal aliens who are in the United
Speaker 15: States who are going to be a top part. We
Speaker 15: also have hundreds of people who are on the terror
Speaker 15: watch list who are here. We're going to need to
Speaker 15: get those people out. And if you start to move
Speaker 15: through you know, those hundreds of thousands of people. The
Speaker 15: dynamic of all of this has changed. You have a
Speaker 15: paradigm shift. It's no longer you know, thought of that
Speaker 15: you're going to be able to come here and live
Speaker 15: here indefinitely and remain here forever. You know, now people
Speaker 15: are going to start to see those criminals taken off
Speaker 15: the streets. They're going to start to see a crackdown
Speaker 15: along the border if they have family members that they're
Speaker 15: hoping to immigrate and they're not going to be able
Speaker 15: to make it. And yeah, I mean completing the border
Speaker 15: wall system, which is bigger than just the fence itself.
Speaker 15: You know, that's the cameras and the lights and the
Speaker 15: fiber optic cable, all those other things that make that
Speaker 15: border wall system work is going to be a game changer.
Speaker 15: I think you're going to see the number of people
Speaker 15: entering I legally plummet. We're going to go back to,
Speaker 15: you know, twenty seventeen numbers when we saw the first
Speaker 15: Trump effect. We're going to see a lot cooperation for
Speaker 15: Mexico and Canada that's in both of their interests to
Speaker 15: help us out on this, and then we could start
Speaker 15: to address that criminal population, that national security risk population
Speaker 15: in the United States, and you know, you're going to
Speaker 15: see a lot of people go home because that's what
Speaker 15: happens about three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand people
Speaker 15: who are here unlawfully can't lead. Every year, I fig
Speaker 15: you're going to see those numbers pick up. In fact,
Speaker 15: there was an article out of Dalton, Georgia that was
Speaker 15: talking about how people you know there were planning on
Speaker 15: leaving there. There was an article out of Springfield, Ohio
Speaker 15: about people who were looking for someplace else to live
Speaker 15: because you know, they know that they are, you know,
Speaker 15: in the cross heirs of immigration enforcement. So yeah, I mean, really,
Speaker 15: the most important thing that Trump's going to do is
Speaker 15: change the narrative of all this. I think they were
Speaker 15: going to get back to a lawful immigration system and
Speaker 15: orderly immigration system. That's in the interesting American people. But
Speaker 15: you know, it's you know, the election itself is the
Speaker 15: biggest statement that the American people can make about immigration.
Speaker 15: I think it's going to have a real impact.
Speaker 1: Andrew Arthur our guest. He's with the Center for Immigration Studies.
Speaker 1: He's not only writing and writing well about immigration for
Speaker 1: a long time. On cis dot org. How important was
Speaker 1: immigration in the twenty twenty four election. A really detailed
Speaker 1: study that cites some of the research that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: You also writes op eds that appear in a lot
Speaker 1: of different places. I saw this. Texas has spent millions
Speaker 1: placing razor wire along the border. Well, Biden found a
Speaker 1: judge that said that was illegal, and I guess it
Speaker 1: was the Fed started cutting down the wire. Than wait
Speaker 1: a minute, there was an appeals court ruling against Biden
Speaker 1: last week to block Texas from kenny continuing to place
Speaker 1: razor wire. This seawire up so it can continue.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 1: A lot of this depends on whether or not Trump
Speaker 1: gets to complete the rest of his wall. But there's
Speaker 1: no question, as you point out in this article, that
Speaker 1: the razor wire is a great deterrent for people coming
Speaker 1: into this country whose first act when they come into
Speaker 1: this country is an illegal act. So I don't sense
Speaker 1: that that was a bad ruling by this latest judge.
Speaker 1: But it does work, does it not?
Speaker 15: Yeah? No, absolutely, insacts. You can look at the numbers.
Speaker 15: Texas has been running something called Operation Loan Star ever
Speaker 15: since March twenty twenty one, and they've said troopers down
Speaker 15: their National National Guard troops down there to you know,
Speaker 15: bolster border patrol. And then just before Title forty two ended,
Speaker 15: they started erecting these concertina wire or sea wire barriers
Speaker 15: along the Rio Grande and you know, near population centers
Speaker 15: to prevent people from crossing over and just blending into
Speaker 15: the community and escaping into the country that way. For
Speaker 15: some reason, nobody really knows the reason why. In September
Speaker 15: twenty twenty three, CBP under the Biden Harris administration started
Speaker 15: destroying portions of that wire in Maverick County, Texas. And
Speaker 15: you know, this launched a fight. It went all the
Speaker 15: way to the Supreme Court abu whether they could tear
Speaker 15: it out or whether they couldn't tear it out. And
Speaker 15: you mentioned the judge that they went to the first time.
Speaker 15: She's actually a very interesting woman, judge of Leah Moses
Speaker 15: down in Texas. She initially said, you know, the Biden
Speaker 15: Harris administration can continued to destroy it, but she talked
Speaker 15: about the political ego and ranker that had brought us
Speaker 15: to this point. She said, look, the immigration system may
Speaker 15: be dysfunctional, but it works when you allow it to work. So,
Speaker 15: you know, her initial decision that allowed them to go
Speaker 15: forward and destroy the wire that's just been reversed. You know,
Speaker 15: was a win for the Biden administration, but it was
Speaker 15: a stunning indictment of the Biden administration and the immigration
Speaker 15: policies that they run down there, and now that this
Speaker 15: circuit you know, has gotten along with that said no,
Speaker 15: you can't do it. This is sovereign state pop property
Speaker 15: and you have to leave it alone.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Biden administration cared about what
Speaker 1: her opinion was. They just said, hey, we can cut
Speaker 1: the wire down. They provided them an optic right, Oh.
Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely. But one thing that you'll note, Ken, is
Speaker 15: that ever since the Supreme Court ruled in January twenty
Speaker 15: twenty four that they could go ahead destroying the wire,
Speaker 15: they haven't touched it. Because going into an election year,
Speaker 15: you know, when you're contending that you're doing everything you
Speaker 15: can to secure the border and then you go destroying
Speaker 15: the only impediment that there is to illegal immigration, you know,
Speaker 15: that's a bad visual. Yeah, and it was a bad
Speaker 15: visual for you know, for Joe Biden when he was
Speaker 15: running for president. It was a horrible one for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: So Texas.
Speaker 15: Texas won, Texas is still winning on that issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, because if you recall back then, that Senate
Speaker 1: seat that Cruz had was still in play, it looked
Speaker 1: like it might have been a flip for the Democrats,
Speaker 1: so they couldn't really go in there and jeopardize that.
Speaker 1: And again they probably thought, well, you know, Texas may
Speaker 1: be turning more purple than we think, and maybe we've
Speaker 1: got a chance to flip Texas in a national election.
Speaker 1: But you know, you're right, that would have if you
Speaker 1: would would have put border patrol agents in between the
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers and the federal government, you know, wherever they
Speaker 1: may be coming from the army, wherever it might have been,
Speaker 1: it would have been. It would have been horrible. But
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be difficult. It's going to take years, decades
Speaker 1: probably to undo what has happened to this country over
Speaker 1: the last three and a half years. But I sense
Speaker 1: that there are breaks that are being applied. But that
Speaker 1: won't stop you from what you do so well at
Speaker 1: CIS dot org. And it's great when you can join us.
Speaker 1: Andrew Arthur, we appreciate your time here and you stay
Speaker 1: well and keep fighting the good fight.
Speaker 15: Saybe you can and my best all your listeners.
Speaker 1: Here he is that is a great destination where they
Speaker 1: take immigration, which is a complex topic, and make it understandable.
Speaker 1: What we try to do here don't often accomplish it.
Speaker 1: They do to twenty five News Radio seven hundred w WELW.
Speaker 3: Is there a special time you like to listen to Sconslan?
Speaker 16: Almost impossible to believe. That's how bad this defense has been.
Speaker 16: And you identified one play yesterday if you just want
Speaker 16: one play to categorize just how bad Cincinnati's defense was, Rex,
Speaker 16: what play was that?
Speaker 3: I mean, this is Ripley's believe it or not? Are
Speaker 3: you kidding me? Justin Field comes trotting.
Speaker 1: On the field on a third four game on the line.
Speaker 3: I can't believe he kep it.
Speaker 4: This is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: If there's life on.
Speaker 15: Mars, they knew Justin Fields was going to carry the ball?
Speaker 3: Are you for some reason?
Speaker 11: Cincinnati was supri just an incredible call right now?
Speaker 3: What are you doing quiet?
Speaker 1: I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Sega sat next to Rex Ryan once on a plane, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: from Phoenix to Cincinnati. It was coming back from the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in February ninety six, Okay, and he was
Speaker 1: flying from Phoenix to Cincinnati to interview with Rick Minterter
Speaker 1: to join Rick Mincher's staff at the University of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: which I think he did for like one year.
Speaker 3: He was on the staff for like one year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's right. Everybody knew what, even current John
Speaker 1: Pierre probably knew it too. You know, probably Joe Biden
Speaker 1: did too, and he's going to pardon the Bengals. Well
Speaker 1: he probably She probably screamed out, he's doing what. But
Speaker 1: she wasn't talking about Biden. She was talking about thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 3: Ken Brew.
Speaker 12: They stood reporters of proud service of your local Tamestar
Speaker 12: Heating and air conditioning dealers, Tamestar quality you can feel
Speaker 12: in beautiful northern Kentucky. Again, Yes, call Johnson Heating and
Speaker 12: Cooling eight five nine four seven two sixty fifty one.
Speaker 12: But I just try cold now, or well, I'll wait
Speaker 12: till her we're done there. Unless you want to, I'll
Speaker 12: just talk and you because it's cold in this studio.
Speaker 12: I'm just kidding. I don't know who thinks air conditioning
Speaker 12: is a wise thing. In December, Bengals up Day brought
Speaker 12: to you by Good Spirits, Winding Tobacco and Party Town
Speaker 12: thirteen locations in northern Kentucky, your tailgate headquarters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get some bourbon and try and forget last night
Speaker 1: four and eight, which I've done many times in my life.
Speaker 3: By the way, what the.
Speaker 12: Look looking with looks like they're going to miss the playoffs.
Speaker 12: It looks like not telling anybody anything new bore tonight
Speaker 12: on Bengals line six h five right here on seven
Speaker 12: hundred WLWP. Next for our men, they get ready this
Speaker 12: week a Monday night clash with the Simpsons and the
Speaker 12: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason why that game wasn't flexed.
Speaker 3: Bingo. That should be flexed the next year.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, I get mad because it's
Speaker 1: just I see what's happened on that offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, and it's not sustainable. Correct, Burrow is not
Speaker 1: going to be able to do this kind of thing
Speaker 1: every single week to keep your team in it. Kyle
Speaker 1: said this yesterday on when we were at the Holy
Speaker 1: Grail with Moe and Antoni. I said, at some point,
Speaker 1: because there was still thoughts, well they beat Pittsburgh, maybe
Speaker 1: they go on a run at some point along the way,
Speaker 1: Burrow is going to have a clunker game, or there's
Speaker 1: going to be bad weather, there's going to be snow
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, and it's not going to happen,
Speaker 1: and they're going to lose because they have to do
Speaker 1: that literally every single week. And you correct it. This
Speaker 1: is not arena football. Correct. I'm still worked up. I
Speaker 1: know you are.
Speaker 3: College football, Ken Bruce, speaking of in trouble.
Speaker 1: Take some cold medication.
Speaker 3: You see you see football winds up five and seven.
Speaker 3: That's not good.
Speaker 12: Three and six in a big twelve, a five game,
Speaker 12: losing street to wrap it up, they were once five.
Speaker 3: I remember those days.
Speaker 12: Coach set is now eight and sixteen overall not good.
Speaker 12: Let's see flag planting, the fights all over the place
Speaker 12: in an unch tinned rivalry weekend in college football, of course,
Speaker 12: the main event the game Michigan Ohio State. Then they
Speaker 12: had another one NC State in North Carolina, Arkansas and
Speaker 12: Mississippi let's or Missouri, I mean Auburn and Alabama went
Speaker 12: at it. Notre Dame in USC Arizona State in Arizona,
Speaker 12: Texas and Texas, A and M. And then Rocky had
Speaker 12: one of the matches over the weekend with the Gators
Speaker 12: and the Seminoles going at it.
Speaker 3: Say you ever hear this guy, Paul Doherty. He's a writer. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's right for the Coure.
Speaker 1: You heard him. Yeah, you used to do sports talk here. Yeah, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: So he's got this, he's got this deal where you
Speaker 1: can I don't know how much it is. It's like
Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy dollars a year, and it's a sub stack,
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's called it. And he writes
Speaker 1: a column. He can read a column every day, and
Speaker 1: other writers.
Speaker 3: And all that.
Speaker 1: His column today is he's got a picture, and he's
Speaker 1: got the only flag plant that ever mattered in the
Speaker 1: history of mankind the most, the flag plant on the
Speaker 1: top of Ewo Jima. Oh I thought it was. Are
Speaker 1: you going to say the moon? Oh no, that's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything else? These idiots running around with flags and a
Speaker 1: plant in the middle. Who what are you doing?
Speaker 13: What do you?
Speaker 1: As I said last hour, what are you twelve years
Speaker 1: old and up in a treehouse? What are you crazy?
Speaker 1: I don't know, ken Brew, They're gonna you know, I'm agitated.
Speaker 1: It's just how about that dude?
Speaker 12: And How about the dude yesterday in the National Football
Speaker 12: League that nailed Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: How about that mess? Yeah, that's that's not good. That
Speaker 1: guy ought to be out for life. Well, right there.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to protect quarterbacks in the league, right They
Speaker 1: didn't protect Trevor Lawrence. Although he walked away last night.
Speaker 12: I saw a picture of him leaving the stadium upright,
Speaker 12: and I'm thinking, oh, everything must be I guess Okay.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but today today, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know whether it's Wednesday or Thursday. It was not good, Sega.
Speaker 1: That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: And then the Miami RedHawks Ken Brew Brent Gabbertt is
Speaker 12: the Mid American Conference Offensive Player of the Week. And
Speaker 12: then your Bobcats played the Red Hawks and the bat
Speaker 12: What is this the Battle of the Bricks?
Speaker 1: Part three? This is two for everything in the Mid
Speaker 1: American Conference. This is for everything in the MAC Championship game.
Speaker 1: But it is the second or third meeting this year. No,
Speaker 1: just just a second. Oh okay, Miami completely dominated at
Speaker 1: Ohio University. But I think they might have I think
Speaker 1: the Bobcats might have been distracted in that game because
Speaker 1: there was I think there was something going around, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, something they might have had, like a
Speaker 1: bad case of I don't know, it could have been.
Speaker 1: The rumor was it was a bad case of pedicures.
Speaker 1: It just didn't go well on the team. So so
Speaker 1: there they're they're over that now and I think they'll
Speaker 1: be fine in this In this.
Speaker 3: Game this weekend, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 12: Should be a good one. Should be a good one
Speaker 12: in Motown. That's what we're looking for. SEGI college basketball.
Speaker 12: The rankings are out. The Cincinnata Bearcats are up or
Speaker 12: two spots this week, the fourteenth. They will play at
Speaker 12: Villanova tomorrow night. When's that Crosstown shootout? Is that the
Speaker 12: fourteenth week from this Saturday? That's huge, Yeah, that's huge.
Speaker 3: Kentucky's up four spots the fourth will that game? We'll
Speaker 3: carry that game, won't we? What the Crosstown shootout? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like every station will have it, right, that's right?
Speaker 12: And will you see Bearcats the kit It will be
Speaker 12: on KRC. EBN will carry h the referees version right
Speaker 12: or no. Sean Miller and West Miller will be live
Speaker 12: on Kiss one oh seven.
Speaker 1: And Mologer is hosting four four consecutive pregame shows from
Speaker 1: four different bars. He's just gonna run back and forth
Speaker 1: from four different bars.
Speaker 3: Leading. Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1: It's amazing coordination that's going into this thing. Correct, It's unbelievable, right,
Speaker 1: Andy Bank, That's what. Let's see.
Speaker 12: Yukon dropped twenty three spots. They're still at it. Ken
Speaker 12: Brew at twenty fifth, still out, still a watch out
Speaker 12: for Dan Hurley. They're still in it. Xavier thirty third,
Speaker 12: Dayton is Louisville's thirty fifth, and Dayton comes in thirty
Speaker 12: ninth day poll this week.
Speaker 1: I sold I said this the other day. I said
Speaker 1: that Dayton UC game maybe better than that. That's a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks from Friday. I'm just downtown. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: could be. That could be a really fine tilt. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they they took North Carolina. They
Speaker 1: had a big lead against North Carolina and lost, and
Speaker 1: I think they would only lost by five to Iowa State.
Speaker 1: Well they didn't lose the Iowa State just scored more
Speaker 1: points and then uh, and then of course they took
Speaker 1: out Yukon. So yeah, the Flyers, So Mike, McConnell, Eddie
Speaker 1: and Moe are all happy I know, watch out for
Speaker 1: ud I'm telling you said so, I appreciate you calming
Speaker 1: me down here today.
Speaker 12: Well, I'm glad ken Brew. I know I could. I
Speaker 12: could either the listeners could. Said it was calling the
Speaker 12: newsroom saying they could hear it in your voice. You're
Speaker 12: very upset, had wad. I had my speedo in a wad.
Speaker 12: I was so upset about what happened yesterday, So was I.
Speaker 12: I mean, who expected a shootout? Well, I thought it
Speaker 12: was going to be like twelve to ten or something,
Speaker 12: but obviously the Bengals didn't, that's for sure. Yeah, it'll
Speaker 12: all be better, though, you know what, it's all going
Speaker 12: to get to stop a train. It has nothing to do.
Speaker 1: With Christmas, has nothing to do with family, It has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this time of the year. It
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with how you conducting your life today,
Speaker 1: tomorrow or next week. Correct, it's only a game which
Speaker 1: we feel more upset about, probably than they do. Think
Speaker 1: about that for a second. Think about that that we're
Speaker 1: probably more worked up about the outcome than they are.
Speaker 1: I have a point there. I think I might say,
Speaker 1: get us out of the stooge report. I got Rocky
Speaker 1: standing by I need Rocky in here because we got
Speaker 1: pardons going on, We got guys can't watch justin fields.
Speaker 1: We got we got a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: things going on.
Speaker 3: I gotta talk to.
Speaker 1: Him about ken Brew.
Speaker 12: In honor of a cold day here at a tri
Speaker 12: State we leave you with the immortal words of the
Speaker 12: Stoode report.
Speaker 3: Well we're in Dallas, the talking horse, mister ed. There
Speaker 3: are horses down here. That Wilbur. No, it's not that Wilbur.
Speaker 1: Wilbur, Oh boy. I did the games with him for
Speaker 1: five years, and I swear to god, there were at
Speaker 1: least a half dozen, maybe nine, absolutely laugh moments every
Speaker 1: one of those games. There was that was so much
Speaker 1: the bels. It doesn't get any better than that. Was
Speaker 1: table so much fun working with him. It really was
Speaker 1: all right, Sega was good working with you today. Same here,
Speaker 1: ken Burg. You take care of you. I like what you.
Speaker 1: I like your shirt you're wearing today. You look good,
Speaker 1: you look spiffy, and I'm sure you and I will
Speaker 1: because the the aging veteran that normally occupies this chair
Speaker 1: will probably want a few more days off between now
Speaker 1: and the end of the year, and I'll be back
Speaker 1: in here to to torment you and the listeners. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to though, you know, it could be,
Speaker 1: could be tomorrow, could be soon. Who knows.
Speaker 3: Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: That's all right, nobody knows, no problem to forty seven
Speaker 1: News Radio, seven hundred w welw assumption on my part.
Speaker 1: I know you should never assume, and most assumptions are wild,
Speaker 1: but it's a wild assumption on my part that at
Speaker 1: some point during his illustrious playing days, somebody went to
Speaker 1: Rocky Boyman and said, rock You're gonna spy on one player,
Speaker 1: and whatever that player does, you run to that player.
Speaker 1: I don't care if the ball is going someplace else.
Speaker 1: Your job is to spy on that player. It is
Speaker 1: your responsibility. And my guess is that Rocky Boyman he
Speaker 1: executed that perfectly. Oh if Rocky Boyman was only on
Speaker 1: the field yesterday at pay Corpse Stadium, Rocky J. Boyman,
Speaker 1: how are you on this glorious Monday. I'm excellent.
Speaker 3: Ken.
Speaker 14: It's a tough day for Bengals fans. It's it's it's
Speaker 14: a very sobering reality.
Speaker 1: My opinion is.
Speaker 14: And I thought this during the game, especially afterward, just
Speaker 14: thinking about it, is this is not a roster or
Speaker 14: a team that's going to be fixed in one draft.
Speaker 3: And that was my takeaway that this is going to
Speaker 3: take like multiple years.
Speaker 14: I mean that defense that not one level, the first, second,
Speaker 14: or third level is a unit you can look at
Speaker 14: and say, boy, that okay, that that's pretty secure where
Speaker 14: we look good there. I think that's the sad reality
Speaker 14: here is this is going to take a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, just on that one play for a second,
Speaker 1: the third and four with fifty four left. So I've
Speaker 1: got I've got the I've got the all twenty two
Speaker 1: dialed up here. Oh yeah, it's it's unbalanced to the
Speaker 1: short side of the field. Looks like they've got maybe
Speaker 1: a two tight end set that's over there blocking. But
Speaker 1: as I'm watching this, as fields takes off for the
Speaker 1: far sideline, it's either Battle or Newton that apparently was
Speaker 1: responsible for this. It's not it's not the linebacker. It's
Speaker 1: either Battle or Newton, and they both crash and take
Speaker 1: the suck up on on.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: I guess it's a Jalen. I guess it was Jalen
Speaker 1: Harris was the was the cat's name. But the fact
Speaker 1: of the matter is they both they both crash in
Speaker 1: and buy the fake. And it's like this next shot
Speaker 1: is lou Ana Rumo and he's standing on the sideline
Speaker 1: and he has a look of like a father who
Speaker 1: tells the new driver in his family there's a mailbox
Speaker 1: at the end of the driveway. Whatever you do, don't
Speaker 1: back into it. Uh So, these people that are yelling
Speaker 1: and screw screaming for lou Ana Roumo to be fired,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. This is not a talented defense.
Speaker 1: I count on this defense. Dax Hill, Chris Jenkins, Trey Hendrickson,
Speaker 1: DJ Turner, and Logan Wilson is the only players I'd keep.
Speaker 1: Bj Hill is an unrestricted free agent. Mike Hilton is
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent. A sign may be, but he's
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent.
Speaker 3: After that.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know if any of those
Speaker 1: players I just mentioned, other than Hendrickson that's an impact player.
Speaker 1: The rest of them are playing positions. But I think
Speaker 1: it needs a complete overhaul. And you're right, you're not
Speaker 1: going to fix it in one offseason. And they simply
Speaker 1: overspent on offense and tried to fix it by drafting
Speaker 1: well on defense. And they're drafts defensively since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Just they have not produced impact players.
Speaker 14: They've not I mean to your original point about that
Speaker 14: last play there with Fields. I mean, Newton, Okay, he's
Speaker 14: a rookie, but he's got to understand there are ten
Speaker 14: other guys in there that can stop the inside run.
Speaker 14: But there is one guy, okay, that can stop the
Speaker 14: you know when justin Fields, who probably everyone in the
Speaker 14: stadium knew he's probably gonna keep this ball because that's
Speaker 14: what he does. He runs the ball, and for whatever reason,
Speaker 14: he crashed down inside. He's a young player. I'm sure
Speaker 14: it's a mistake he won't make again, but that's something
Speaker 14: that you just can't make in that situation. You've got
Speaker 14: to have somebodycounting for in the quarterback, especially knowing that's
Speaker 14: what he's going to do. But no, the drafts the
Speaker 14: last three years, Ken, I've talked about it at nauseum.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you have too.
Speaker 14: Just have not produced any impact players, haven't produced any
Speaker 14: like real solid players. It's very unfortunate. Again, it's it's
Speaker 14: I hate to tell this to people, but this is
Speaker 14: not going to be fixed in one year. This team
Speaker 14: is not going to go into free agency and have
Speaker 14: a great draft where we get the number nine or
Speaker 14: number eight overall pick or whatever it's going to be,
Speaker 14: and all of a sudden, this team's going to go
Speaker 14: to the Super Bowl next year. It's just I cannot
Speaker 14: see that happening at all. And that's again a very
Speaker 14: sobering reality.
Speaker 1: Well, I've made a phone call here in the last
Speaker 1: half hour to Joe Biden, and he is issuing a
Speaker 1: pardon for all eleven defensive players that were on the field.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh god, five and eighteen, five hundred and twenty yards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, how about Biden though arguably not even
Speaker 1: arguably it's the worst president in my lifetime, but arguably
Speaker 1: one of the two worst presidents ever. I would wrote
Speaker 1: James Buchanana in that mix, maybe Woodrow Wilson, maybe Herbert Hoover,
Speaker 1: Not Woodrow Wilson. It's just it's astonishing what he did
Speaker 1: after saying for so long that he was not going
Speaker 1: to pardon this kid. I believe it was part of
Speaker 1: the deal when Nancy Pelosi staged the coup. They said, Okay,
Speaker 1: you can pardon your kid. But I also think he
Speaker 1: delivered a big, fat, wet one to Donald Trump's cheek
Speaker 1: because Trump in four years can say, well, listen, he
Speaker 1: pardoned his kid, I'll pardon myself if there's anything else
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, you know some.
Speaker 1: Of these people that got locked up from my administration,
Speaker 1: maybe some of these Jay sixers, I'll pardon them too.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be Trump's first move.
Speaker 14: He's going to pardon all the January sixth people that are,
Speaker 14: if I think, unfairly been imprisoned for And there's people
Speaker 14: walking the streets in these major cities around the country
Speaker 14: that have done far, far worse than people that you know,
Speaker 14: happen to run into the Capitol building and did really
Speaker 14: nothing wrong. So but yeah, I think I'm Also the
Speaker 14: dates on this are are kind of interesting. I guess
Speaker 14: he's partner going all way back to twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: What happened in twenty fourteen, Ken he started to go
Speaker 1: to work for Barisma, Yes he did, so say well,
Speaker 1: let's be in a good father he's partying is no,
Speaker 1: it is. A good father would keep your son who
Speaker 1: had a drug addiction from going to work while you're
Speaker 1: the second in command of the federal government and not
Speaker 1: letting him do business with a foreign government. That's what
Speaker 1: a good father would have done. He would have said, no,
Speaker 1: you can't do that.
Speaker 14: It's unfortunate because you know, Hunter Biden has had that
Speaker 14: the skids a greased for him his entire life. And
Speaker 14: as oftentimes, when you try to help someone along, your
Speaker 14: kid or somebody else's kid, and you try to remove
Speaker 14: every impediment out of their way, it doesn't work out
Speaker 14: well for their development. And in this case, it's the
Speaker 14: same thing for Hunter Biden. You know, it's a sad life.
Speaker 13: The guy leaves.
Speaker 3: I'm very sorry it happened that way, but but that's
Speaker 3: the way it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a making of your own doing in this world. Correct,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when they close the casket,
Speaker 1: you are what you made yourself and no one else
Speaker 1: should have to take responsibility for it. But hey, man,
Speaker 1: if it was that simple, you wouldn't have a talk
Speaker 1: show coming up.
Speaker 3: That's right, we got we got a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about this pardon thing coming up?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Well, Jason Williams is in for Eddie. Eddie is frolicing
Speaker 14: on the beach somewhere, I believe. Wow, we never know,
Speaker 14: but Jason's in with us. At three, he wrote a
Speaker 14: great column I thought last night that hit that we're
Speaker 14: going to discuss his thoughts on the Bengals. We're also
Speaker 14: going to discuss at four o'clock the flag planting that
Speaker 14: went around college football over the weekend.
Speaker 3: I actually called a game working on and I was watching.
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's two I mean a lot of people on
Speaker 14: both sides of this, So we're gonna take some calls
Speaker 14: and have some fun discussing that as well.
Speaker 1: There's one flag plant in the history of this world
Speaker 1: that means anything, and it's the one that was planted
Speaker 1: at the top of ewo Jima. That's it. Everything else
Speaker 1: is a far cry. I'll give you a close second
Speaker 1: maybe with the moon, but Ewojima, the rest of that,
Speaker 1: forget them say it. Yep, you guys have a great show.
