00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Back on the Big one seven hundred WLW. It's twelve

2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 1>o eight on this Friday afternoon. I'm Dan Carroll in

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.760

<v Speaker 1>here behind this microphone no matter what time of the

6
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>day or night it is. But when I'm sitting in

7
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>for Bill Cunningham, it's a little something special and just

8
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>to be part of this great radio station is as

9
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a special thing as well. Joining me now is another

10
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a very special individual from ESPN fifteen thirty and a

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>guy who always answers the bell whenever I ask him

12
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to be on. It's the one and only Moegor and Mo.

13
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>How are you today?

14
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm good? Dan? How are you?

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm good? I'm good. Are you going to be traveling

16
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>to Las Vegas when when you see starts the Crown Tournament?

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I will not be in laws. I would love to go,

18
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>but I will not be making the trip to the

19
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>first ever college basketball Crown Not.

20
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Have you learned anything about that particular tournament?

21
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 3>No.

22
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be interesting though the way

23
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>it unfolds, and obviously from a Cincinnati perspective, but you know,

24
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>the tournament's going to start fifteen days after selection Sunday.

25
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>The NCAA tournament will have its entire first four rounds

26
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>play out before the College Basketball Crown begins and the

27
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>transfer portal opens up on Monday. And so I think

28
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be really interesting to see how this

29
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>tournament works from the standpoint of teams putting our schools

30
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>putting teams on the floor, and maybe being shorthanded players

31
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 2>opting out. You know, we see this all the time

32
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>in bowl games in college football, and I suspect the

33
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Bearcats when they played the Paul on April first. My

34
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>suspicion is that some players who are on the team

35
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>this year will not be on the floor for the

36
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Bearcats in Las Veguess. But there is money at stake here.

37
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 2>The rumor is that there's three hundred thousand dollars to

38
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>be split among players on the winning team. So you know,

39
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>there's obviously a little bit of a financial inducement. We'll

40
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>see if that can tell some players who ordinarily might

41
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 2>opt out to go ahead and decide to play.

42
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Three hundred grand to be split amongst the winning team.

43
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 1>If you would have told me ten or fifteen years

44
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>ago that something like that was going to happen, I

45
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>would have never believed it. It is absolutely amazing at

46
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>times that we are living.

47
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 4>In right now.

48
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>It is and it's taking a lot of people, both

49
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>inside and outside the sport a lot of time to

50
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>get to get used to this era. But yeah, I

51
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 2>actually think nil is why a lot of players chose

52
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>to play in bowl games. My argument for years in

53
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>college football was if you want players to play in

54
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 2>bowl games, give them appearances. I think we are headed

55
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>more and more down that road with each passing year,

56
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>into a large degree with each passing day.

57
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, before we talk specifically about Xavier tonight, I was

58
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking about this the other day, about how much buzz

59
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there is around Xavier being in the

60
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>tournament this year, and I was thinking to myself, you know,

61
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm old enough to remember you certainly are. I think

62
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>most people listening to us are old enough to remember

63
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a time when being in the NCAA Tournament was par

64
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 1>for the course. It was not unusual to have Xavier

65
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 1>U see maybe NKU and you know, and by extension,

66
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>the people are the teams that people care out about

67
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>around here Dayton, Ohio State, Kentucky, Louisville, Indiana, teams like that.

68
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Every year, year in and year out. It seemed like

69
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>all those teams were in the tournament. But now that

70
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>we have Xavier is really the only local teamic. You know,

71
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Louisville was one and done, Kentucky's in. But there's so

72
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 1>many teams that seem like it was normal for them

73
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to be in the tournament every year are not in

74
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>the tournament, and it seems like that is becoming the norm,

75
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>and making the tournament is the exception. Do you see

76
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>that as just a cyclical thing or is this sort

77
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 1>of the new normal we're living in when it comes

78
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 1>to local teams making the Big Dance.

79
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think you have to answer that sort of

80
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 2>on a school by school basis, but I mean, you're right.

81
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>For a few decades, it felt like, you know, every

82
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 2>March Cincinnati, Xavier, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisville for most of that time,

83
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State oftentimes Dayton in the nineties at least to

84
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Miami pretty much every other year. Yeah, you know, you

85
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>would get all those schools in the Big Dance, and

86
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, even from a Xavier perspective, this is just

87
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 2>their second n Tournaments in twenty eighteen, obviously the second

88
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>and three years with Sean Miller. They made the Sweet

89
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>sixteen two years ago. Cincinnati is going into a very, very,

90
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>very important year for Wes Miller where it has been

91
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>six years without the Bearcats making the NCAA tournament. You

92
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 2>think about like Bob Huggins took him fourteen consecutive years,

93
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Mick Cronin took that nine consecutive years. No matter who

94
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>they had on their team, no matter what you thought

95
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>about the direction of the program, they were in the

96
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>tournament every single year for the better part of three decades. Obviously,

97
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 2>that hasn't been the case now in a while. I

98
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>think you look at certain programs. You know, Indiana's going

99
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>through a coaching change right now. Kentucky, I'm a huge

100
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pope fan. They've obviously been mainstays in the tournament.

101
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 2>But let's be honest, it's been a few years since

102
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>you've talked about Kentucky on a national level in terms

103
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 2>of getting the final fours. You know, Kentucky hasn't made

104
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 2>a Final four now in ten years. Can Mark Pope

105
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>change that this season? Can he change it anytime in

106
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the short term? But You're right, you do think of

107
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>those years where it felt like every March you knew

108
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>there were going to be four or five schools from

109
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>this area in the Big Dance, and recently that hasn't

110
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 2>been the case so much.

111
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You talked to Sean Miller on a regular basis, and

112
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's any question that he is extremely

113
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>gratified to be in the tournament this year, especially, I

114
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>think more so for for some of the players that

115
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>he's had in the program for this amount of time.

116
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>And he talked about, how, you know, several of these

117
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>guys are going to end their career in the NCAA tournament.

118
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 1>He was very happy about that. And you know, I

119
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>look at Xavier and we look at the game that

120
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 1>they had last night, and that game, to me, looked

121
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 1>like both versions of the Xavier team that we saw

122
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>earlier this year. In that first half, nothing was going

123
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>their way. They weren't gtting the calls, there was early

124
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>foul trouble, there was all this stuff going on, and

125
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're down by eleven late in the first

126
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 1>half and wound up being down by eight in the

127
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.519
<v Speaker 1>first half, and you're thinking, man, this is not going

128
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 1>good at all, but then in the second half, I

129
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 1>think we saw the Xavier team that we've seen the

130
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>latter part of the season where they were able to

131
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>run off four or five six wins in a row.

132
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So it do you have any feel for how they're

133
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>going to show up tonight?

134
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it's a really interesting game because I

135
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 2>think what Xavier itsels at, which is playing at a

136
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>fast pace, playing a high scoring game. I think this

137
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 2>can be that sort of game. I think Illinois from

138
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 2>a defensive perspective, is going to have its hands full

139
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>with a jager team. You know, Marcus Foster was the

140
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>guy who kind of lit it up for him in

141
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 2>the game the other night against Texas, but they've got

142
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of scoring options. We've seen what Ryan Conwell

143
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 2>can do. You know, he was awesome in the Big

144
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 2>East Tournament against Marquette. Zach Fremantle down the stretch over

145
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the final five to six seven games of the season

146
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>might have been the best player in the Big East.

147
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 2>I think where Xavier's going to have its hands full

148
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 2>is number one rebounding. Illinois is the best offensive rebounding

149
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>team in the Big Ten. They're not a good outside

150
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 2>shooting team, but they get a lot of their own misses.

151
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Xavier's going to have to contend with that. And I

152
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>think the other thing is Illinois is really good at

153
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>getting to the free throw line, number two in the

154
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Big Ten in free throw attempts, and so the game

155
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>the other night, I actually felt like Xavier was in

156
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good place at halftime. They were down by eight,

157
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 2>but they had a lot of foul trouble they had

158
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>to contend with in the first half, and yet they

159
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>still remained in striking distance. How's the game called tonight?

160
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Is Illinois going to be able to take advantage of

161
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>its ability to constantly get to the free throw line.

162
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 2>If the answer is yes, Musketeers are going to have

163
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>their hands full. But it's not a great defensive team, Illinois.

164
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not a team that's going to turn you over

165
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a bunch, And so I think Xavier should score. The

166
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>big questions I have are about Xavier's defense putting Illinois

167
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 2>the free throw line, and then the fighting a line

168
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 2>on on the offensive glass. They are great at grabbing

169
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>a ball off the rim of the backboard.

170
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I think he talked about Zach Freemantle and

171
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 1>every telecast you watch every every pregame show, every analysis

172
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>of Xavier sort of starting ends and starts with Zach Fremantle.

173
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And it seems that, you know, six years, this guy's got,

174
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>he's got wearing a Xavier uniform. It seems like he's

175
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 1>up to the task. Though, it seems like he's gotten

176
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 1>to that level where you know him happen to put

177
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that team on his back from time to time is

178
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>not too much to ask for him.

179
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have a lot of individual players who have

180
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 2>stepped up as the season is unfolded at precisely the

181
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>right time. And you know, I think one of the

182
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 2>keyston Xavier's team. You talk about Zack Fremantle, you're gonna

183
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>hear the name Dalen Swain a lot tonight. The final

184
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes of the game on Thursday, I'm sorry, on Wednesday,

185
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Sean Miller put him on Trey Johnson, who's an NBA

186
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 2>lottery pick, and I think over those final ten minutes,

187
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I think Trey Johnson scored just one time. He to

188
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>me is a key tonight because of what he can

189
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>do on the defensive end. But you're right, and not

190
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 2>only it is how Zach Fremantle has played tear down

191
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>the stretch for the Musketeers this season. That's taking advantage

192
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of him getting his first shot at the NCAA Tournament

193
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>because he wasn't healthy two years ago. He is healthy now.

194
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Sean Miller has talked about this pretty extensively, how happy

195
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>he is for a guy like Zack who has been

196
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, in this era, for someone to be a

197
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.799
<v Speaker 2>part of one program for their entire career for a

198
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>six year stretch is kind of the exception and no

199
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>longer the rule, and Zach and the Musketeers are being

200
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:07.919
<v Speaker 2>rewarded for that.

201
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so they've got if they win tonight, they've got

202
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>most likely Kentucky on the other side of the bracket.

203
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't get a sense that that Sean Miller is

204
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.799
<v Speaker 1>going to allow these guys to be looking ahead at all.

205
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 1>That there's no way this team is even close to

206
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 1>being good enough to not paying attention to what's right

207
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 1>in front of.

208
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, it's the NCAA Tournament. It's one and done,

209
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>and so you cannot look ahead. That said, I think

210
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>the Kentucky game, if Xavier is lucky enough to win

211
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 2>tonight and if Kentucky beats Troy, I think Xavier has

212
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>a very good chance to go to the Sweet sixteen,

213
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 2>because as good of a job as Mark Pope has

214
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>done with the Wildcats this year, they're not a great

215
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>defensive team, and they've got all sorts of health issues.

216
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 2>You're going to hear the name Lamont Butler a lot

217
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 2>in since he hurt his shoulder. He hasn't been the same,

218
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and that Kentucky team, from a defensive perspective, which isn't

219
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 2>great to begin with, hasn't been close to the same.

220
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I don't think it's a matter of looking

221
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 2>ahead as much as it is if you're Xavier and

222
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you can win tonight. That Kentucky team is formidable, but

223
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.639
<v Speaker 2>hardly unbeatable, and I don't think it's beyond the realm

224
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of possibility that we're talking about the Monkies in the

225
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Sweet sixteen next week. But in order for that to happen,

226
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.799
<v Speaker 2>they have to take care of business against a an

227
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Illinois team that was very much hot and cold this year,

228
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>but down the stretch played very very well.

229
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 1>After what we've seen with the play in games and

230
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>then this first round yesterday, is there an argument to

231
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>be made that the SEC probably didn't really need to

232
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 1>have fourteen teams in the tournament, well maybe.

233
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 2>But I guess I would argue who should have gotten

234
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it instead? You know, Texas was one of the last

235
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>four in. Texas certainly acquitted itself well in that game

236
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>against Xavier. Obviously, the Mustardeers came back and won. But

237
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>a story in college basketball this year, The biggest story

238
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 2>in college basketball this year was that the dominant of

239
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the SEC, where the top of that conference was so good.

240
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know, you can make an argument, well, maybe

241
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Texas shouldn't have been in, but then who you know,

242
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 2>A lot focus, a lot of folks focused on West

243
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Virginia getting snubbed and being on the outside looking in,

244
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 2>But they lost their Big twelve tournament game against a

245
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 2>team that won three games all season in the league,

246
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>And so I can make the same argument that West

247
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Virginia didn't deserve to be in the SEC. This season

248
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 2>was awesome. I don't really use one off games in

249
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>the NCAA Tournament as a referendum on any league. And

250
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>if you want to say the SEC shouldn't have gotten

251
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>as many teams in, I have yet to hear a

252
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 2>compelling case for a team that was excluded why they

253
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>should have been included in the field of sixty eight.

254
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, sounds good. Sounds good to me. Where where

255
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 1>does a guy like Moeger enjoy these games on TV?

256
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 1>You're posting up at uh uh, one of our great sponsors,

257
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>post it.

258
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Up at the Holy Grail, my home away from home

259
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>in March.

260
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, baby, you gotta love it. How does how do

261
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 1>you prepare yourself for the Opening Day parade? And I'm

262
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 1>not going to say filling the shoes of Jim Scott,

263
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>but taking that same position that used to be held

264
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>by our beloved Jim Scott.

265
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, in terms of filling jim shoes, which are impossible

266
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 2>to fill, my only role was has been to basically

267
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>be what Jim was, which was the spokesperson for the event.

268
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Obviously on Opening Day, I've got multiple broadcasts to be

269
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>a part of, so i can't participate in the parade.

270
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 2>But nobody, nobody loved Opening Day, and nobody loved the

271
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 2>parade more than Jim Scott. And you know this is

272
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be the first one without him since nineteen

273
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 2>sixty eight. It was awesome last year that you know,

274
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.039
<v Speaker 2>well Jim was was dealing with and fighting als, he

275
00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 2>still got a chance to be a part in it.

276
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Was obviously not able to walk, but he was still

277
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 2>able to smile and wave and connect with people and

278
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, essentially say goodbye to the city. So it's

279
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>it's for me at least, and I think for a

280
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of it's going to be very strange having Opening

281
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Day with Jim Scott not a part of it. And

282
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>as awesome of an event as the Friendly Market Opening

283
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Day parade is, and it is terrific, Uh, it's it's

284
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>not the same without Jim. And I think I speak

285
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>for everybody and saying I badly wish that he was

286
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be here and be a part of it

287
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 2>on on Thursday.

288
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I just want to I just want to

289
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>tell you publicly that the way you have remembered Jim Scott,

290
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the way you've honored him, and the way you've paid

291
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>tribute to him and his life and times and what

292
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>he's meant to you over the years has been has

293
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 1>been a beautiful thing to listen to and to to

294
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>behold in in those parts that we were able to.

295
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to I want to thank you

296
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>for that and and uh and commend you for the

297
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>way that that you've gone about and done that. I

298
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.799
<v Speaker 1>think it's uh, it's really probably one the best things

299
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 1>about being associated with Jim Scott and with you and

300
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 1>all the people around here at iHeartMedia, that that that's

301
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 1>happened and you've just done a beautiful job representing him

302
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and what he's meant to this community.

303
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's very kind of you to say that is

304
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.440
<v Speaker 2>the only time anybody will put my name in the

305
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>same sentence as Jim Scott. But you know, for for

306
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of us, man, for a lot of us

307
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 2>who you know, kind of broke in during a certain

308
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 2>period of time. You know, Jim took care of us,

309
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 2>as you know, twenty year old kid when I started

310
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 2>working with him and didn't know anything, and one might

311
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>argue I still don't know anything, but God knows, he

312
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>tried to teach me a lot and really had a

313
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of influence in our business on on so many

314
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>of us. And obviously that influence, you know, really was

315
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>exerted all throughout the city. But for those of us

316
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>who had a chance to work with him, those are

317
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>who had a chance to have a personal relationship with him,

318
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 2>and a few people in my life as influential as

319
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 2>him and I you know we all miss him. Yeah,

320
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.320
<v Speaker 2>but I'll miss him a little bit more on opening day.

321
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, are you on fifteen thirty this afternoon?

322
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I am at the Holy Grail this afternoon.

<v Speaker 1>Okay, so go there and get a selfie with mo.

<v Speaker 2>We'll negotiate what it.

326
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Will cost, but yes, there you go. You got thrown

<v Speaker 1>We'll do it again before too long. And the one

330
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and Only Mowegar of ESPN fifteen thirty twelve twenty five.

331
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WW.

332
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.000
<v Speaker 1>All right back on the Big One, seven hundred W

333
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.159
<v Speaker 1>l W. Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham as we

334
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 1>roll on till three o'clock this afternoon. I was thinking

335
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the other day and looking at what's going on around us,

336
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.679
<v Speaker 1>and you've got leftists and those who hate Donald Trump

337
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>just going crazy in this country. Of course, the everything

338
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk, everything Tesla is under attack. You've got swatting

339
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>situations going on. You've got all kinds of liberals performing

340
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>different various meltdowns on social media and all the rest

341
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of it, and I thought to myself, you know, these

342
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>people are complaining so much about their rights being infringed

343
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>and all the terrible things that are happening under Donald Trump.

344
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 1>It made me think about some of the things that

345
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I saw during the campaign, and so I reached out

346
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to Rachel Seatach over at Cincinnati Right to Life and

347
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>she said, you know what, I can't make it on Friday,

348
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>but my executive director, Laura's Treatment can, And so Laura's Treatment,

349
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.319
<v Speaker 1>the executive director of Cincinnati Right to Life, is my

350
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>guest today on seven hundred WLW. And Laura, it's great

351
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 1>to have you on the show. How are you today.

352
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing really well on this beautiful sunny Cincinnati Friday,

353
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 4>basketball madness going on, and we're just too really well

354
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:01.799
<v Speaker 4>at Cincinnati Right to Life.

355
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I appreciate you taking time out from your basketball

356
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.519
<v Speaker 1>watching to join us on the show this afternoon. Let

357
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.400
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this. I remember during the campaign that

358
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.759
<v Speaker 1>you had all kind of women who said they were

359
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.759
<v Speaker 1>going to move out of the country, who dressed up

360
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 1>in costumes like The Handmaid's Tale, which I don't get

361
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the reference. I've never watched that show. They were talking

362
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 1>about how their reproductive rights were going to be taken

363
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 1>away if Donald Trump got into pro you know, got

364
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 1>into the Oval office, that there were going to be

365
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 1>camps and registrations and all these horrible things happening to

366
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:39.079
<v Speaker 1>women all across our country. And so I wanted to

367
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>ask you, as someone who may have their their finger

368
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>on the pulse of this, have you seen any of

369
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>these detention centers? Have you seen any registers created? You know,

370
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>we're women who are pregnant have to go and register

371
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>their pregnancy with the federal government. And have you noticed

372
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 1>any rights that are being taken away from women by

373
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>this current administration? Noticed any of that? No?

374
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 4>I hope Dan, you and I both know that the

375
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 4>LESS always uses extreme inflammatory language and propositions when they're

376
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.119
<v Speaker 4>trying to make their really ridiculous pro death points, and

377
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 4>especially they use inflammatory language when they're trying to be

378
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 4>able to continue to execute preborn children in mothers' wombs

379
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.799
<v Speaker 4>and sell them the why that abortion is healthcare. So

380
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.960
<v Speaker 4>it was all theatrics, but you have to remember, Dan, also,

381
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:36.119
<v Speaker 4>our organization does exist protect life from womb to tomb.

382
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 4>So we would be happy if abortion ended federally and

383
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.359
<v Speaker 4>at the state level, of course, but we certainly are

384
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.720
<v Speaker 4>not advocating for women to be punished. And Handmaid's Tale,

385
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't watch that show either, so I never get

386
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 4>the reference when women are they're using that, yes as well,

387
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.519
<v Speaker 4>but you know, you do have to remember that Cincinnati

388
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Rights to Life was founded. You're in Cincinnati. We were

389
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.920
<v Speaker 4>the foundational prol like organization in the world. A lot

390
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 4>of people forget that that in nineteen seventy three, in March,

391
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.920
<v Speaker 4>just two months after Roe became in our constitution the

392
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.079
<v Speaker 4>right for a woman to execute her unborn, her preborn

393
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.119
<v Speaker 4>son or daughter. That doctor Wilkie was a prophet for

394
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.039
<v Speaker 4>our times and founded Cincinnati Right to Life, and then

395
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.200
<v Speaker 4>it inspired all the organizations around the world. He founded

396
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.559
<v Speaker 4>Ohio Right to Life, National Right to Life. So, of

397
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.279
<v Speaker 4>course we carry on his legacy. And you and I

398
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 4>both know that Donald Trump has done some really great

399
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 4>things since he got in office just not even quite

400
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.799
<v Speaker 4>two months ago. But we want even more done for

401
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:43.480
<v Speaker 4>the unborn.

402
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you know we when I, of course I

403
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit tongue in cheek about all these

404
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.519
<v Speaker 1>terrible things that were supposed to happen to women, but

405
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 1>it makes the point though, that they use these absurd

406
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.839
<v Speaker 1>arguments to further their cause, and this is nothing new

407
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 1>for those on the left. This is nothing new for

408
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:09.279
<v Speaker 1>those who support the pro abortion position. But it must

409
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 1>make your job that much more difficult because you have

410
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to counter. You have to or at least you have

411
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to spend time countering these arguments that are completely false

412
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and just made up out a whole cloth.

413
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 4>Many times, you're absolutely right, it does take time, but

414
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 4>that's why we exist, and we have to remember the

415
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.759
<v Speaker 4>biggest lie of all that abortion is not healthcare. No

416
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.599
<v Speaker 4>woman grows up saying, oh, I want to get pregnant

417
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 4>and then execute my preborn child and not give my

418
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.160
<v Speaker 4>child life. And so we do spend time. But that's

419
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 4>part of the battle, you know. This is a battle

420
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.359
<v Speaker 4>between good and evil. It's the soul of our nation,

421
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 4>it's the future of our nation. This country is ridiculously

422
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 4>killing too many preborn children. Obviously, every abortion to us

423
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 4>is horrible, wrong for any reason. But to be able

424
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 4>to use birth control as a system with abortion, it's

425
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 4>just ridiculous that that's what many many women do, and

426
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.680
<v Speaker 4>it's tragic. Dan, I'm not sure if you realize, but

427
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati Rights to Life. Since the loss of Issue one

428
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 4>with the election in twenty twenty three, we have deployed

429
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.119
<v Speaker 4>full time sidewalk advocates in front of the Planned Parenthood

430
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 4>on Auburn Avenue in Cincinnati, and we are counting six

431
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:36.920
<v Speaker 4>hundred cars or more weekly entering the Planned Parenthood in Cincinnati.

432
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:42.400
<v Speaker 4>It's a bloodbath, it's disgusting, and it's an operation that

433
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 4>we have now become an abortion mecca site in Cincinnati

434
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 4>with the southernmost abortion facility. And none of this has

435
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.200
<v Speaker 4>anything to do with Donald Trump and him getting elected

436
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.480
<v Speaker 4>for us, obviously, this goes back to twenty three when

437
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 4>we lost our Issue Live and our hope with Donald

438
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Trump getting elected is that he will defund Planned Parenthood

439
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 4>and we're looking for that, we're praying for that, we're

440
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.400
<v Speaker 4>working for that, and in the meantime, until something like

441
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 4>that happens, we're out on the sidewalk to assist women

442
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.480
<v Speaker 4>and tell them the truth. No woman is smiling entering

443
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 4>Planned Parenthood. They're all miserable, they're sad, and we are

444
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 4>providing them the truth that there's a pregnancy center down

445
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 4>the street or maybe in their local neighborhood. There's three

446
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 4>pregnancy tests and options and help in this community just

447
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 4>at a high rate that really really is one of

448
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.920
<v Speaker 4>the highest rate of pregnancy help in the country. So

449
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker 4>that's what we're doing to counter these lies and these statements.

450
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 4>And I also Dan had really big news to share

451
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 4>with the community as well. We knew that our work

452
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 4>at Cincinnati Right to Life had to change and had

453
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.559
<v Speaker 4>to improve and had to increase when abortion became a

454
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.079
<v Speaker 4>shrine in Ohio's constitution. People need to realize that right

455
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 4>now in Ohio, abortion is available on demand through late

456
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:05.720
<v Speaker 4>term pregnancy for women. And we decided the only place

457
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 4>that we could meet this head on because chipping away

458
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.720
<v Speaker 4>at this law at the Statehouse and then obviously with

459
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 4>the federal government, and then we can reach women on

460
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 4>the sidewalk, our offices needed to be in close proximity

461
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 4>to Planned Parenthood. We've been located in North College Hill

462
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.960
<v Speaker 4>since the early eighties in a building that doctor Wilkie

463
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 4>and his beloved wife Barb purchased for the organization, and

464
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 4>we decided to move and we have moved to Auburn

465
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Avenue right down the street from Planned Parenthood. We moved

466
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 4>ten days ago.

467
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 1>So you are literally in the belly of the beast,

468
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>so to speak.

469
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 4>It's an enormous way. And we have a view of

470
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:51.519
<v Speaker 4>Planned Parenthood from our offices, so we can see what's

471
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.359
<v Speaker 4>going on. And as the blood path means the blood

472
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.039
<v Speaker 4>bath takes place there, we have to remember that it's

473
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 4>only because of the cooperation of multiple organizations to coordinate

474
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.240
<v Speaker 4>the cleanup of the mess of dismember children that are

475
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:10.319
<v Speaker 4>happening here on Auburn Avenue. You know, we see dan

476
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 4>we see industrial drain clogging trucks enter Planned Parenthood, we

477
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:22.440
<v Speaker 4>see industrial cleaners, we see a medical waste operations leave

478
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.839
<v Speaker 4>with massive red cartons of human remains that they label

479
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 4>as medical waste that they drive to Indiana to incinerate.

480
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 4>And when you have that many abortions per week in Cincinnati,

481
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 4>the Queen City, and this beautiful neighborhood several blocks from

482
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 4>where a president of the United States was born, there

483
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 4>is something wrong with our culture and our society, and

484
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati Right to Life is here to speak truth, speak love,

485
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 4>and offer options of help and hope. That abortion is

486
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.559
<v Speaker 4>below women and it is not healthcare. It is the

487
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.799
<v Speaker 4>taking of an innocent life, and it's wrong and it's

488
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 4>terrible and it's harming our country in a massive way.

489
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, isn't it interesting how we always hear the

490
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.519
<v Speaker 1>argument that you know, those of us Liam, they they

491
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 1>always want to point to people like me and you

492
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 1>who argue the particular side that we argue that we're

493
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 1>the Neanderthals. We're the ones that you know that that

494
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.759
<v Speaker 1>are not I guess you know, with the current times,

495
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and they're the ones that are always talking about how

496
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>they're the ones on the side of science. You know,

497
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 1>they're the ones who are on the side of truth.

498
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 1>But yet, strangely, when it comes to this issue, when

499
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it comes to abortion, there's there's no mention of science,

500
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no mention of the medical advances. There's you know,

501
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to they don't want to deal with

502
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 1>any of the medical realities that we have in the

503
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.680
<v Speaker 1>year of twenty twenty five. So it's a it's always

504
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:55.400
<v Speaker 1>about choice and freedom of this and freedom of that,

505
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and bodily autonomy and all the rest of it. But

506
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to and you know, the most obvious

507
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.079
<v Speaker 1>example is that you know, when it comes to cracking

508
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 1>down on everyone during the Wuhan virus that you know,

509
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:12.640
<v Speaker 1>they didn't mind you know, taking advantage in having other

510
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 1>people tell you, you know, that you had to have

511
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a vaccine, that you had to you know, put a

512
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.680
<v Speaker 1>mask on, you had to do all these things with

513
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.559
<v Speaker 1>your body. They didn't mind telling you then, But when

514
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.119
<v Speaker 1>it comes to this argument, they sort of put all

515
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>they conveniently put those arguments aside.

516
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 4>You are absolutely correct, and we know that science tells

517
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.559
<v Speaker 4>us that life begins at fertilization. There was a study

518
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:41.559
<v Speaker 4>out of the University of Chicago where they pulled scientists

519
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.039
<v Speaker 4>and physicians when does life begin? And ninety percent and

520
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.960
<v Speaker 4>these were agnostic, apist non believers, and they all said

521
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.480
<v Speaker 4>life begins at conception, and that is that's from scientists.

522
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:55.960
<v Speaker 4>So you're right, why don't they follow the science when

523
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.599
<v Speaker 4>it comes to life? And you know, we know that

524
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:03.440
<v Speaker 4>the culture has gone and really unfortunate direction. I guess

525
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.960
<v Speaker 4>really the past fifty years beginning with you know, the

526
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 4>sexual revolution, and women are just still buying into this

527
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 4>lie that somehow having the right to dismember, poison, or

528
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 4>suffocate your own son or daughter is freedom. And the

529
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 4>tragic mess that happens after that with women with post

530
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.599
<v Speaker 4>traumatic stress disorder, grief and fertility all the side effects

531
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:32.440
<v Speaker 4>and relationship problems that come from choosing that and being

532
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 4>sold that lie. You know, we have to remember that

533
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 4>over sixty percent of women that have been pulled after

534
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.759
<v Speaker 4>they've had an abortion say that they were coerced into

535
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 4>an abortion. If they had had the help, the love,

536
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.319
<v Speaker 4>the truth, and the support, they would have chosen differently.

537
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.119
<v Speaker 4>So and we see that Dan on the sidewalk as

538
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 4>our sidewalk advocates stand and witness car after car after

539
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.039
<v Speaker 4>car go in there, one hundred and twenty five cars

540
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Speaker 4>a day. Dan at the Planned Parenthood on Auburn Avenue,

541
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.240
<v Speaker 4>fifty percent from out of state. The biggest state we

542
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:09.680
<v Speaker 4>see is Kentucky, and then we see a lot of

543
00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Indiana and Tennessee. So these states are not abortion free.

544
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.440
<v Speaker 4>Bluegrass babies are still being executed, but tragically it's on

545
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:20.880
<v Speaker 4>buckeye soil, not on bluegrass soil.

546
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 5>Sows.

547
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Your babies are.

548
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Still being executed. It's absolutely it's beyond tragic. I mean,

549
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's really a word to describe it.

550
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>But the alternative is just how many blocks did you

551
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:38.240
<v Speaker 1>There's a couple of blocks away from my plant, two.

552
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.079
<v Speaker 4>Blocks away, I have two blocks.

553
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I have a view.

554
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I have a view of Planned Parenthood, uh inside

555
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.839
<v Speaker 4>my office building. And we are here so we can

556
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 4>spend more time and we can witness all the tragedy

557
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.839
<v Speaker 4>and be here at support, and we continue to advocate

558
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:58.000
<v Speaker 4>to our lawmakers and to our community that until we

559
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.359
<v Speaker 4>all stand more locked and arms, this tragedy is going

560
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 4>to continue to take place in Ohio. But Dan, we

561
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:08.839
<v Speaker 4>have great news out of Manhattan, the largest flagship planned

562
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 4>parenthood in America, where Margaret Sanger herself began her great,

563
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:16.640
<v Speaker 4>just horrible, horrible industry of selling the lie of abortion

564
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 4>to women. The Manhattan Planned Parenthood is closed.

565
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>It's done.

566
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 4>They're not dismembering or decapitating unborn children there anymore. Thank

567
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.039
<v Speaker 4>God for that, and thank God for that. And if

568
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 4>in liberal New York they can shut down that depth center,

569
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.119
<v Speaker 4>we can do it here in Ohio. We can do

570
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.400
<v Speaker 4>it here in Cincinnati.

571
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Streetman, let me ask you this, if a woman

572
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.279
<v Speaker 1>who is it doesn't matter how far along her pregnancy

573
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 1>she is, if she is of a mind to go

574
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to Planned Parenthood and have an abortion, if that woman

575
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>would by chance stop by your facility first before she

576
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.960
<v Speaker 1>goes to Planned Parenthood and she walks in there and

577
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>she's obviously pregnant. You know, she doesn't feel like she

578
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.319
<v Speaker 1>has any other eyes. What is that woman going to

579
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 1>experience when she walks in to the Cincinnati Right for

580
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Life office if she if a woman goes in in

581
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that condition and is struggling with making.

582
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:16.480
<v Speaker 4>That decision, well, first she's going to experience love. She's

583
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.680
<v Speaker 4>going to see her smiles and our joy and our congratulations,

584
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 4>and then we're going to listen to her because she

585
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:25.920
<v Speaker 4>probably does have real concerns. Women's concerns are oftentimes are

586
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.960
<v Speaker 4>valid while they're upset, but it's always a great idea

587
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.000
<v Speaker 4>to have a baby. I've been helping women for eighteen years.

588
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 4>I've met women living out of cars and in really

589
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:39.400
<v Speaker 4>difficult situations, and when they choose life, somehow they're empowered.

590
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 4>That's where that comes from. It does not come from death.

591
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.799
<v Speaker 4>Empowerment doesn't We're not set up fully as a pregnancy center.

592
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.680
<v Speaker 4>But the great news is a block less than a

593
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 4>block from us is this brand new, beautiful women's care

594
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 4>center right here on Auburn Avenue.

595
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 2>So then we will.

596
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.039
<v Speaker 4>Continue our friendship with her by walking her over in

597
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 4>person and innering her to our wonderful neighbors, and she

598
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 4>will get a free pregnancy test, free ultrasound, and they

599
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.039
<v Speaker 4>will take over from there with her and help her

600
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:11.960
<v Speaker 4>build the life that she needs to be able to

601
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.480
<v Speaker 4>choose life and choose it abundantly and support her with

602
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:20.680
<v Speaker 4>everything car seats, cribs, diapers, parenting classes, oftentimes women you know,

603
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 4>they might be seeking job, new housing. They have all

604
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:27.000
<v Speaker 4>the resources to direct women so that they're able to

605
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.079
<v Speaker 4>have a wonderful pregnancy and then be able to give

606
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:33.480
<v Speaker 4>birth and support her even for years, years upon years

607
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 4>after that. It's a lie that we only care about women,

608
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:40.599
<v Speaker 4>only care about the baby, I mean when she's pregnant.

609
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 4>That's just not true. I still have real strong relationships

610
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:46.680
<v Speaker 4>with women that I met fifteen years ago and help

611
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.200
<v Speaker 4>them into a life choice. Some of their children are

612
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.880
<v Speaker 4>now in high school. So that's one of the big

613
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 4>wives of the abortion industry that that's the only thing

614
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.920
<v Speaker 4>we care about. But this new pregnancy center across the

615
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.559
<v Speaker 4>street from us is here, and we're just really closing

616
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.599
<v Speaker 4>in on Planned Parenthood and their death operation and the

617
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:07.799
<v Speaker 4>darkness and the lies that they sell women. And Cincinnati

618
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.039
<v Speaker 4>can do better than this. People should come here. For

619
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.119
<v Speaker 4>King's Island, the Zoo, Reds Games are beautiful city. They

620
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 4>should not be coming to Cincinnati to execute their son

621
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 4>or daughter through an abortion decision.

622
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, Laura Streetman seven hundred WLW has a huge signal.

623
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>There may be someone who's driving up from Kentucky or

624
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee or driving through Indiana right now, headed to Cincinnati

625
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.279
<v Speaker 1>for this very purpose. And someone may be listening to

626
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>our conversation right now. And if you are headed to

627
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the Planned Parenthood on Auburn Avenue, just go a couple

628
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 1>of blocks down the street, stop in. That's say hello

629
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 1>right at Cincinnati Right for Life and you're on your

630
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>underno obligation, there's and just say, at least let someone

631
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>hear your story and you may have a different outcome.

632
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.839
<v Speaker 1>And you know, a year, two years, ten years from now,

633
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>someone may thank us. But Laura's treatment we got to run.

634
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Great having you on this afternoon. Congratulations on the new office.

635
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:14.360
<v Speaker 1>And I know it's a huge uphill battle for you

636
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.639
<v Speaker 1>and everyone associated with Right to Life, but keep up

637
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the great work and all the best to you.

638
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 4>Thank you. There's nothing we'd rather be doing. We appreciate you.

639
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Dan all right, Lauras Streatman, the executive director of Cincinnati

640
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 1>Right to Life. It is twelve to fifty five on

641
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 1>the Home of the Reds, seven hundred WLW, seven hundred WLW.

642
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.079
<v Speaker 1>It's one o eight on this Friday afternoon. Dan Carroll

643
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:48.679
<v Speaker 1>in for the great American Bill Cunningham. Always glad to

644
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:51.239
<v Speaker 1>be here, and glad you are here as well. Always

645
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:55.079
<v Speaker 1>glad to welcome in. This guest is a he's an academic,

646
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.880
<v Speaker 1>he's an entrepreneur, just a really smart guy historian. His

647
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>latest book is Rediscovering America, a number one bestseller. And

648
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Scott Powell of the Discovery Institute, it is great to

649
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 1>have you back again on seven hundred WLW.

650
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, Dan, it's an honor to be with you.

651
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday, Donald Trump put out his executive order that begins

652
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the process of dismantling the Department of Education. And so

653
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.760
<v Speaker 1>this country is on the verge of a major debate

654
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>about this, and I guess we've been sort of having

655
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.159
<v Speaker 1>an ongoing debate about this. But some of the things

656
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump talked about was math and reading scores

657
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:34.559
<v Speaker 1>for thirteen year old thirteen year olds at the lowest

658
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:38.559
<v Speaker 1>level in decades, six and ten fourth graders nearly three

659
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:41.840
<v Speaker 1>quarters of eighth graders are not proficient in math, seven

660
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and ten fourth and eighth graders are not proficient in reading.

661
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Standardized test scores have remained flat for decades. The United

662
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>States student ranked twenty eight out of thirty seven OECD

663
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:58.199
<v Speaker 1>members in math. And we've spent more than three trillion

664
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:02.719
<v Speaker 1>dollars Scott Powell on education in this country. So I

665
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:07.039
<v Speaker 1>think this is a move on behalf of Trump that

666
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:11.000
<v Speaker 1>addresses a couple of of the biggest problems that we

667
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:12.719
<v Speaker 1>have in this country. And you've spent a lot of

668
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>time recently writing about the debt that we're in. But

669
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the other problem, the other major problem that we have

670
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:23.199
<v Speaker 1>is just the absolutely abysmal state of public education in

671
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:24.559
<v Speaker 1>the United States of America.

672
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:33.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Really, the public schools have been weaponized really against

673
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:40.480
<v Speaker 3>good citizenship, against love and patriotism for our country, against

674
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:44.039
<v Speaker 3>almost all good things. To be honest with you, we

675
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 3>drove God out of this, you know, out of the culture.

676
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:48.719
<v Speaker 3>We drove God out of the schools in nineteen sixty two,

677
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:53.159
<v Speaker 3>taking prayer out of school. But let's put this issue

678
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 3>in a big context, a simple, big context for the audience.

679
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Prior to the Department of Education being established in nineteen

680
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.960
<v Speaker 3>seventy nine by Jimmy Carter. The debate to establish it

681
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.760
<v Speaker 3>started in seventy seven, but it wasn't finally voted on

682
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:12.760
<v Speaker 3>and approved until seventy nine. But prior to that, the

683
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:16.159
<v Speaker 3>American school system public school system ranked in the top

684
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:23.360
<v Speaker 3>six of all so called OECD countries, you know, the

685
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Advanced industrialized countries. Our schools were top ranked. But once

686
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.920
<v Speaker 3>the Department of Education came in, what happened to our schools?

687
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:42.239
<v Speaker 3>They progressively declined in their performance. This is just this

688
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 3>isn't even debatable. This is what happened, and to a

689
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:48.840
<v Speaker 3>point where now we're really at the bottom of the heap.

690
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:53.800
<v Speaker 3>So why did that happen? Well, it happened because this

691
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:58.840
<v Speaker 3>is what government typically does. Government is really not accountable

692
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.960
<v Speaker 3>to anyone. For the most our government agencies in particular,

693
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:09.960
<v Speaker 3>nobody is elected. The legislators are elected, but the legislators

694
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:13.199
<v Speaker 3>have defer a lot of these responsibilities to agencies, and

695
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 3>there's no accountability and there's politicization that goes on in

696
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 3>these bureaucracies. So before we had a Department of Education,

697
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 3>schools were performing well because there was accountability schools were

698
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 3>the you know, in the domain of the states and

699
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:35.880
<v Speaker 3>the localities, and there wasn't interference by any authorities above

700
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.880
<v Speaker 3>the state and the localities there, and there was more

701
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:42.360
<v Speaker 3>accountability and better performance. So I think returning to the

702
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.559
<v Speaker 3>way that it was is a very very rational and

703
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.079
<v Speaker 3>appropriate path to take. And that means we're turning people

704
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 3>out of jobs in the Department of Education, but that's

705
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:57.400
<v Speaker 3>that's the way life is. You failed to deliver for

706
00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 3>the American people, and so you no longer have a job.

707
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, and when you talk about such big

708
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:06.519
<v Speaker 1>dollar amounts, and when you have you know, tens of

709
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.559
<v Speaker 1>billions of dollars and hundreds of billions of dollars every

710
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:13.360
<v Speaker 1>year that is going to be changing hands, there is

711
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:16.079
<v Speaker 1>no shortage of people who are going to do anything

712
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>and everything they can to get their hands and get

713
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on that money and get their fingers in that pie.

714
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that a lot of it is is

715
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>that the priorities get mixed up. You know, how often

716
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:35.519
<v Speaker 1>do we see you know, Randy Weingardner on TV and

717
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>she's the head of the National Teachers Union, and she's

718
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>having an absolute meltdown because of the I really don't

719
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.199
<v Speaker 1>think she's melting down over anything more than her gravy

720
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.360
<v Speaker 1>train being brought to an end. With with with the

721
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 1>flow of this money being not really stopped, but it's

722
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:57.679
<v Speaker 1>going to be directed away from her and those that

723
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.960
<v Speaker 1>she represents. I think she sees future is at least

724
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the easy future that she thought she had swirling down

725
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the drain, and she cannot abide that. So she's going

726
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 1>to pull out all the stops to try and make

727
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.079
<v Speaker 1>sure that something like this doesn't happen. And how can

728
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:16.480
<v Speaker 1>anyone argue in a legitimate sense that it is not

729
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:20.039
<v Speaker 1>time to take a look and try and do something

730
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 1>different than what we've been doing since nineteen seventy nine.

731
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.639
<v Speaker 3>Right, particularly when we had such great schools prior to

732
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:32.840
<v Speaker 3>seventy nine. What's the difference in pre seventy nine and

733
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.079
<v Speaker 3>post seventy nine. It's the Department of Education that's the

734
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 3>key variable that makes the difference. And so I think

735
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:45.920
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, it's just simply warranted, you know, to

736
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:50.440
<v Speaker 3>save federal dollars, but really to save the children. You know,

737
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:54.239
<v Speaker 3>we need to have children that go through our public

738
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 3>school system and have an appreciation for our country and

739
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:01.800
<v Speaker 3>understand the rights and the responsibility of citizenship and can

740
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:07.599
<v Speaker 3>perform you know, in math, you know, in communication, and

741
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:11.079
<v Speaker 3>in every other discipline. They can communicate at a at

742
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:16.159
<v Speaker 3>a at a bear at a minimal level by the

743
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.880
<v Speaker 3>time they've graduated from high school. And you know that's

744
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:25.880
<v Speaker 3>not been happening. Our schools have really have really betrayed

745
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:30.239
<v Speaker 3>the young people of America, our public schools.

746
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Have and you know they and we hear so many

747
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of the arguments about well this We've got all these

748
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:40.239
<v Speaker 1>student loans, and we've got all these special needs kids,

749
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and we got all this kind of stuff. And of

750
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.079
<v Speaker 1>course Trump doesn't think about them. Trump doesn't want to,

751
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:47.199
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to have anything to do with them. He

752
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:50.760
<v Speaker 1>simply wants to. And I saw the Democrats in Ohio

753
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.280
<v Speaker 1>put out its wheet last night because Mike the Wine,

754
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.039
<v Speaker 1>the governor of Ohio, and there was a number of

755
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:57.880
<v Speaker 1>other governors there who were there when Trump signed the

756
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:01.599
<v Speaker 1>executive order. They're using the same old, the same old,

757
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:05.599
<v Speaker 1>tired argument is that, well, Mike the Wine was there

758
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.840
<v Speaker 1>to cheer this on because he wants to get that

759
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:11.599
<v Speaker 1>money and give tax breaks to billionaires. I mean, they

760
00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 1>really are is the left and the democrats in this

761
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>country so bereft of ideas that they have to apply

762
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that argument to this situation, when to my way of thinking,

763
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing could be further from the truth.

764
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 3>To answer your question, yes, they are ideas.

765
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Of the interview have a great day. But it's it's

766
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:39.559
<v Speaker 1>but it's said, and we hear and we hear these

767
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:41.960
<v Speaker 1>arguments all the time. But I was reading the piece

768
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that that you that you wrote recently. It's it's on

769
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.760
<v Speaker 1>town hall dot com, and I'm sure a bunch of

770
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.400
<v Speaker 1>other different outlets, and and you mean you talk about

771
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:54.559
<v Speaker 1>all these different agencies and the growth of government starting

772
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 1>from nineteen sixty one with USA I D and then

773
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you got Medicare, Medicaid in sixty five, HUD in nineteen

774
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 1>sixty five, the EPA in nineteen seventy. I was unaware

775
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:10.239
<v Speaker 1>that the Department of Energy didn't start until nineteen seventy seven.

776
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:13.039
<v Speaker 1>But I remember reading an article in all places of

777
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Time magazine back in the early eighties, and they were

778
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:19.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about back when there used to be some actual

779
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:22.079
<v Speaker 1>journalism that would happen, and they were talking about the

780
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Department of Energy, and I was just it was one

781
00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:28.559
<v Speaker 1>of my early awakenings to the way money is spent

782
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:29.199
<v Speaker 1>in this company.

783
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:29.320
<v Speaker 6>Why.

784
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I just saw the unbelievable dollar amounts that the Department

785
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Energy was shipping out for all these different projects, and

786
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking, my god, I mean, this cannot go on.

787
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:44.599
<v Speaker 1>And you've been writing about this a lot lately, but

788
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the financial situation that this country is in now cannot

789
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:54.599
<v Speaker 1>be sustained. And yeah, and at least I think we're

790
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:57.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to take steps to at least have a different

791
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.760
<v Speaker 1>way of looking at our financial situation. But the Left

792
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>can't even abide that. No, they can't.

793
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:06.639
<v Speaker 3>They can't. Look these are these are are this is

794
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:11.280
<v Speaker 3>an ideological cult. Huh. You know, I think one of

795
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:16.360
<v Speaker 3>your competitors, Michael Savage, uh just referred to this to

796
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:18.840
<v Speaker 3>the to liberal liberalism as.

797
00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:20.000
<v Speaker 1>A mental disorder.

798
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

799
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:23.519
<v Speaker 3>Uh and in some ways that it really is. It

800
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 3>prevents them from being able to think rationally. Uh. You know.

801
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:32.280
<v Speaker 3>The beauty of uh, you know, privatization, if you will,

802
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:36.960
<v Speaker 3>is that the marketplace has a way of raising up

803
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:42.679
<v Speaker 3>quality and cutting the price of that. Uh. It's and

804
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:46.679
<v Speaker 3>government can never do that. There is no accountability in government.

805
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:50.480
<v Speaker 3>There's no market mechanism that says, well, you know, this

806
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.400
<v Speaker 3>is failing. Therefore, if we should shut it down. In

807
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:56.599
<v Speaker 3>the private sector, that's what happens. The private sector is

808
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:59.440
<v Speaker 3>very creative and not all new ideas and new products

809
00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 3>u uh get launched and are successful. Well, we don't

810
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:07.159
<v Speaker 3>keep manufacturing or pushing a product that's not successful. You

811
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:09.519
<v Speaker 3>shut it down and you move on to the next thing.

812
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Government never does that. It creates these uh, these departments,

813
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.800
<v Speaker 3>these agencies, and they take on a life of their

814
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:20.159
<v Speaker 3>own even though they're dysfunctional. We don't need a department

815
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 3>of energy now that you open that can of worms, dan,

816
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:27.239
<v Speaker 3>because the private sector takes care of that. You know,

817
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.039
<v Speaker 3>when there's a when there's a need for energy, then

818
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:33.159
<v Speaker 3>all the people in the energy industry can think, well,

819
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:36.840
<v Speaker 3>how can we meet that need? Well, uh, you know,

820
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.039
<v Speaker 3>and we have different sources. If we really allowed the

821
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:44.000
<v Speaker 3>market to direct energy production, we would not have wind

822
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:48.079
<v Speaker 3>and solar, we'd have we we would have more nuclear power,

823
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:52.880
<v Speaker 3>and we would have more natural gas, uh, more natural

824
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.360
<v Speaker 3>gas than than than the hydrocarbon that's known as oil

825
00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:01.719
<v Speaker 3>and diesel. Those are not really that for energy and

826
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:05.599
<v Speaker 3>uh uh a coal. Now, we can burn coal cheaply,

827
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:08.480
<v Speaker 3>uh I mean cleanly, I should say at a fairly

828
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:13.119
<v Speaker 3>reasonable price. So the market, which see, the market sorts

829
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 3>all of that out. We don't we don't have to

830
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.320
<v Speaker 3>have a central to allocate resources.

831
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And we've got and we've gone so far down that

832
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:26.440
<v Speaker 1>road that it is uh that there's so many people

833
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 1>that are so ingrained into that way of thinking that

834
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the you know, this this what whatever sector of the

835
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:36.320
<v Speaker 1>economy or whatever sector of society that we're talking about,

836
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that this sort of thing has to be under the

837
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.239
<v Speaker 1>purview of the federal government. And and and you know,

838
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I was watching Donald Trump give Laura ingram Ator the

839
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:50.039
<v Speaker 1>the Oval Office and the changes he's made to the

840
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Oval Office since he's been in there, and he's got

841
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a copy of the Declaration of Independence hanging up on

842
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the wall. And when you know, and and when you

843
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:00.000
<v Speaker 1>go back to then that's another thing that you talk about,

844
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is going back to the founding of the country. And

845
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, government with federal government was supposed to be

846
00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:09.280
<v Speaker 1>something far and distant away and and and something that

847
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:13.519
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a major player in the everyday lives of the

848
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.760
<v Speaker 1>American people. But that that's, you know, especially under this

849
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:20.519
<v Speaker 1>last administration, that's what it has become. You know, you

850
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:22.440
<v Speaker 1>got to get up every morning and turn your eyes

851
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.519
<v Speaker 1>to Washington, d C. To see what the latest edict

852
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is from the federal government and getting to my way

853
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:31.159
<v Speaker 1>of thinking, getting away from that. The further we can

854
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.400
<v Speaker 1>get away from that, the better off we're going to be.

855
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:39.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, America became the greatest military and economic

856
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:41.639
<v Speaker 3>power in the world in just about one hundred and

857
00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:45.239
<v Speaker 3>twenty years from the ratification of the Constitution. That's like

858
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.119
<v Speaker 3>a stock cart going from zero to sixty and two seconds.

859
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:54.199
<v Speaker 3>How America, you know, grew so rapidly and was so successful.

860
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:57.079
<v Speaker 3>And it was successful because of two things. Because are

861
00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:02.519
<v Speaker 3>because are are. We had a sparsely grounded culture, and

862
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:08.440
<v Speaker 3>we had a constitution that whose primary function was to

863
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:13.239
<v Speaker 3>protect the unalienable rights of people to be free and

864
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:18.960
<v Speaker 3>creative and not encumbered with too much government. And our

865
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:24.280
<v Speaker 3>culture was spiritually grounded. It was shaped by Christianity. And

866
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:27.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, America was not founded as Christian nation. But

867
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:30.320
<v Speaker 3>the written record of the Constitutional Convention reveals that the

868
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:36.199
<v Speaker 3>founders recorded debates, discussions, writings, citations were inspired and guided

869
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.679
<v Speaker 3>by the Bible more than any other source. Most people

870
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:44.199
<v Speaker 3>they don't understand that, but those are the facts. And additionally,

871
00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:49.119
<v Speaker 3>the founder's top three most cited political philosophers leading up

872
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:52.719
<v Speaker 3>to that convention, that is, the Constitutional Convention, were none

873
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:56.599
<v Speaker 3>other than Monasque, who is a Christian who advocated for

874
00:48:56.639 --> 00:49:00.000
<v Speaker 3>the separation of powers because of the tendency of corrupt

875
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.800
<v Speaker 3>If you check one department against another, you'll have less corruption.

876
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Very brilliant Blackstone who was a devout Christian, in a

877
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:10.239
<v Speaker 3>law who is a devout Christian. And each of these,

878
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:16.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, these were remarkable people, and it all implies

879
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:20.559
<v Speaker 3>that there's a you know, that there's a recognition of

880
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:24.199
<v Speaker 3>the need for government to be checked and the need

881
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.199
<v Speaker 3>for government to empower the people, because that's what Christianity does.

882
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:35.199
<v Speaker 3>You know. The Reformation, you know, fundamentally change the direction

883
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.320
<v Speaker 3>of Christianity to the empowerment of the people. I think

884
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.880
<v Speaker 3>it was, you know, as Martin Luther called it, the

885
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 3>priesthood of all believers. In other words, we don't need

886
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.199
<v Speaker 3>a church hierarchy to have a relationship with God. Everybody

887
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.320
<v Speaker 3>can have a relationship We've got and when they do,

888
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:58.360
<v Speaker 3>they're more honest, they're more productive, they're more responsible, and

889
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:00.679
<v Speaker 3>it's it's just a it's just a wonderful thing. That

890
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:04.840
<v Speaker 3>we have. You know that we have basically driven out

891
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:07.199
<v Speaker 3>of our culture. We need to revive that. We need

892
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.199
<v Speaker 3>a spiritual revival. We need a cultural revival, and we

893
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:12.800
<v Speaker 3>need accountability. And if we were to break it down

894
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:16.559
<v Speaker 3>to three terms, because it's Doge, it's cultural revival, and

895
00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:23.159
<v Speaker 3>it's spiritual revival, one are those things. Number one, it's accountability.

896

00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:17.800
<v Speaker 1>handed me a letter. And I received a very nice

934
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:22.920
<v Speaker 1>note from Diane in Indiana. Okay, and she says she

935
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:28.039
<v Speaker 1>listens to WLW all the time. Excellent from she says

936
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:30.599

937
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:35.920

938
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about Diane? She wishes I was on the radio more.

939
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I should have her come here and negotiate a

940
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:46.920
<v Speaker 1>being a Dan Carroll Marathon, a long term contract. Maybe

941
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:51.880

942
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:54.159
<v Speaker 1>I can said said on her. I'm just trying to

943
00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:57.280
<v Speaker 1>protect her identity. You know, I don't know if she wanted,

944
00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:00.639
<v Speaker 1>if Diane wanted me to, you know, give her address

945
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:02.480
<v Speaker 1>out on the air. I don't think she wanted that.

<v Speaker 7>Jose Jose Travino three year, eleven million dollar deal yesterday.

1010

<v Speaker 7>Graham Ashcraft is going to go to the bullpen start

<v Speaker 7>the season, Andrew Habit's going to start the year on

1012
00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:51.039
<v Speaker 7>the I L And your good friend Carson Spires is

1013
00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:55.360
<v Speaker 7>now the fifth man in the starting rotation and all

1014
00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:58.320
<v Speaker 7>from one and only Tito Francona.

1015
00:56:58.400 --> 00:56:58.880
<v Speaker 1>What about what.

1016
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:02.760
<v Speaker 8>Question comes from Lauren in del Hyde? Is it true

1017
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:08.480
<v Speaker 8>that Bill Seg Dennison writes all of your material and

1018
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:13.239
<v Speaker 8>is secretly the reason that your career has been so successful.

1019
00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:18.000
<v Speaker 9>The secret is out. He doesn't write all my material,

1020
00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:21.039
<v Speaker 9>but he writes every single bit of Bill Cunningham's material.

1021
00:57:22.119 --> 00:57:24.880
<v Speaker 5>And he is the reason why Cunningham is a star,

1022
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:25.800
<v Speaker 5>not me.

1023
00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Howard Lauren know that?

1024
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:30.079
<v Speaker 9>She doesn't know it because she thinks he's been the

1025
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:34.559
<v Speaker 9>power behind whatever success I've had, and she is missing

1026
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:38.119
<v Speaker 9>for him because he's been the power behind Bill Cunningham.

1027
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:40.559
<v Speaker 8>Would there be a chance that he could be the

1028
00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:42.079
<v Speaker 8>power behind two people?

1029
00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:45.480
<v Speaker 9>No, he could be two people, but I'm not one

1030
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:48.440
<v Speaker 9>of them. Actually there are two. It's Bill Cunningham and

1031
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:54.440
<v Speaker 9>p doc. H what's the p doc that? Thank you

1032
00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:57.440
<v Speaker 9>very much? That's that's the nickname for Paul Doherty. And

1033
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:01.159
<v Speaker 9>I'd be embarrassed. I would be embarrassed if I were

1034
00:58:01.199 --> 00:58:03.840
<v Speaker 9>Paul Doherty to allow that radio station to refer to

1035
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:05.400
<v Speaker 9>him and promos as p DOC.

1036
00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:08.800
<v Speaker 8>That's kind of like puff daddy or thank you, thank you,

1037
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:10.719
<v Speaker 8>whatever he wants to call himself.

1038
00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:13.079
<v Speaker 5>It's the weakest nickname I've ever heard.

1039
00:58:13.199 --> 00:58:18.599
<v Speaker 8>So Seg doesn't write yours, but he does, right, He writes.

1040
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.920
<v Speaker 5>P doc and for Bill cunning the greatest American.

1041
00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is a fraud. How about that? How about that?

1042
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:31.880
<v Speaker 1>When when do you have time to write Bill Cunningham stuff? Never? Well,

1043
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:34.400
<v Speaker 1>that's not what Marty Brennan said, comes out of his brain.

1044
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:37.599

1152
01:04:13.239 --> 01:04:15.760
<v Speaker 7>I don't know what's in that cup, but when he

<v Speaker 7>falls down, it's not good.

1154
01:04:17.960 --> 01:04:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Seg I'm reading an article right before you came in

1155
01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>here today talking about black holes and that is that?

1156
01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Is it?

1157
01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:29.679
<v Speaker 7>Because is that Trump's fault? I don't blame in him

1158
01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:31.480
<v Speaker 7>or Elon Musk, but they're.

1159
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:36.039
<v Speaker 1>Saying that these two astronomers discovered that our entire universe.

1160
01:04:37.079 --> 01:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Think about that, the entire universe, all the galaxies, all

1161
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the stars, everything else, is actually inside a black hole

1162
01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:51.639
<v Speaker 1>that is in another universe. So you and I and

1163
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>everyone listening to us right now is in a black

1164
01:04:54.639 --> 01:04:58.079
<v Speaker 1>hole according to the calculations.

1165
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:02.480
<v Speaker 7>Wow, wh whut are the people on the outside of

1166
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:03.320
<v Speaker 7>this universe?

1167
01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Said, we got to appeal to them, but they said

1168
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:11.599
<v Speaker 1>they think they're listing on the iHeartRadio app Maybe that,

1169
01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>but nothing can escape a black hole. So there's so

1170
01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>so we are, according to them, that we are living

1171
01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>in our universe is inside a black hole that itself

1172
01:05:22.239 --> 01:05:29.639
<v Speaker 1>resides within a larger universe. How can we be inside

1173
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>a black hole?

1174
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Say?

1175
01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel the walls closing in yeah, all the time.

1176
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>We got to get on this show. We've got to

1177
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>get Dean Riguez on here to figure this out. Call

1179
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>another guest on coming. All these all these federal judges

1180
01:05:44.960 --> 01:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>are out there trying to tell Trump they're getting fired too.

1181
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>He can't you know, he can't do this, can't do that?

1182
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Is he banning federal judges? Now? Getting rid of them?

1183

01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:18.519
<v Speaker 1>send you know, illegal aliens back to where they came from.

1192
01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>All these federal judges out there saying, up, can't do that.

1193
01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what to do? What I tell you

1194
01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to do? The main Man's got something better than anybody else.

1195
01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>The button the red coke. Amen.

1196
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:37.039
<v Speaker 7>That's pretty good now, I mean, instead of starting nuclear

1197
01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:39.840
<v Speaker 7>war or something like that, hit. You hit the big

1198
01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:41.840
<v Speaker 7>red button, and I'll be darned if it's not a

1199
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:42.800
<v Speaker 7>diet coke.

1200
01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>NASCAR doesn't even have that. I got a big red

1201
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:48.719
<v Speaker 1>button right there. It spells d U m P. But

1202
01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:51.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. If it doesn't work, I have no idea.

1203
01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:56.760
<v Speaker 7>I mean, let me say, I mean, let me let

1204
01:06:56.840 --> 01:06:58.960
<v Speaker 7>me say a couple of words and see if it works.

1205
01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, Dave, are you staying, I'll forget it all right,

1206
01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>don't say it, don't say anything. No, I don't want

1207
01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:10.239
<v Speaker 1>you to get in trouble. True, But what you can

1208
01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>say is you can get us out of the Stewge Report.

1209
01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:15.559
<v Speaker 1>How about that Dan in honor of a cold day?

1210
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And we're like, what eight six days away from opening?

1211
01:07:20.199 --> 01:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Six days away, and March Madness is underway with Ted McKay.

1212
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I wish spring training would last another month. We leave

1213
01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you with the immortal words of the Stewed Report.

1214
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:34.000
<v Speaker 9>So it's going to be a sacrifice, it's going to

1215
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:38.000
<v Speaker 9>be an error. And the Reds have their first two

1216
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:40.800
<v Speaker 9>on here in the eleventh inning or the thirteenth inning,

1217
01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:44.039
<v Speaker 9>eleven thirteen, whatever.

1218
01:07:46.119 --> 01:07:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Long game, Yes, it's very long. You know when they

1219
01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>put that statue of Marty up there. Yep. They ought

1220
01:07:53.519 --> 01:07:56.599
<v Speaker 1>to have a little box inside with all these recordings.

1221
01:07:56.679 --> 01:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Just play them on a loop, about about a forty

1222
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:02.039
<v Speaker 1>five or fifty minute loop.

1223
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:04.199
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people are talking about what kind of

1224
01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:06.639
<v Speaker 7>hair do is he gonna have? Is it the current

1225
01:08:06.679 --> 01:08:09.400
<v Speaker 7>one with hardly any hair, or is he gonna go

1226
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:14.400
<v Speaker 7>with the poofy haired, fancy boy look in the nineteen seventies.

1227
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's already bobbleheads out there that that got the

1228
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>big hair right saying, well are they gonna do? I

1229
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>think he's got to go with the short hair if

1230
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:26.239
<v Speaker 1>he has anything to say about it. I'm saying he's saying,

1231
01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:28.319
<v Speaker 1>let's go in as they go with the nineteen seventy

1232
01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:31.119
<v Speaker 1>four look, I don't know, looking good. It's a little

1233
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:35.159
<v Speaker 1>David seg We'll see you later on seven hundred WLW

1234
01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:51.359
<v Speaker 1>tie back on the Big One, seven hundred WLW two nine.

1235
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Dan Carroll in for the Great American Bill Cunningham. And

1236
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>there is a great debate that is happening in our

1237
01:08:56.039 --> 01:08:58.439
<v Speaker 1>country right now, and it has to do with federal

1238
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:02.319
<v Speaker 1>judges and what they are really supposed to play. And

1239
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:06.279
<v Speaker 1>they have inserted themselves into the administration of Donald Trump,

1240
01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:10.680
<v Speaker 1>as he tries to do things like a federal worker

1241
01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:13.399
<v Speaker 1>buy out, as he tries to do things like get

1242
01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>rid of trans service or transgender service members out of

1243
01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the military, as he tries to do things like get

1244
01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:24.279
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigrants out of here on flights back to their

1245
01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:28.279
<v Speaker 1>home country, dismantling USAID, and a whole bunch of other things.

1246
01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But all these federal judges want to stand in his

1247
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>way simply because it simply disagrees with the way they

1248
01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>think about things. Whenever I have questions like this, there's

1249
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>one place that I turn, and that's my buddy Tom King,

1250
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:47.279
<v Speaker 1>who was a great constitutional lawyer and not the head

1251
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Republican Party, but the Chief Council for the

1252
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party and the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Tom King,

1253
01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:56.119
<v Speaker 1>it's great to have you again on seven hundred WLW.

1254
01:09:57.039 --> 01:09:58.520
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Dan, it's an honor to be with you.

1255
01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:00.319
<v Speaker 1>How are you right?

1256
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh? I.

1257
01:10:01.079 --> 01:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I look at the way Trump is dealing with all

1258
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>these rulings and that come out from all these various

1259
01:10:07.600 --> 01:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>federal judges about this, that and the other thing, and

1260
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't seem to get up very upset about it

1261
01:10:14.159 --> 01:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at all. I think he feels as if he has

1262
01:10:16.800 --> 01:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the law on his side on just about every issue.

1263
01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And maybe there might be one or two that are questionable,

1264
01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>but I think by and large, the the the rulings

1265
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that these different federal judges have come up with, and

1266
01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:34.319
<v Speaker 1>you name the subject U are are when when they

1267
01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>are subject to further scrutiny, are not going to withstand

1268
01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that scrutiny very well? What say you?

1269
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:44.479
<v Speaker 6>I say that you are spot on, and you know

1270
01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:47.479
<v Speaker 6>you have to remember these federal judges, this is uh

1271
01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:50.439
<v Speaker 6>they You know a lot of people want to want

1272
01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:53.880
<v Speaker 6>the public to think that that there isn't any political

1273
01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:56.640
<v Speaker 6>bent to this stuff once you put a black robe on.

1274
01:10:56.720 --> 01:10:59.960
<v Speaker 6>But listen, the process to appoint these folks is is

1275
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:01.800
<v Speaker 6>political as anything could get.

1276
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>And they have to be approved, of course, they have to.

1277
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:07.600
<v Speaker 6>Be approved by the Senate, the US Senate in order

1278
01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:10.279
<v Speaker 6>to take these federal judges ships. Believe me, and I've

1279
01:11:10.279 --> 01:11:14.159
<v Speaker 6>been part of the process in serving on the Judicial

1280
01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:17.119
<v Speaker 6>Commission to recommend these candidates, and I got it. I

1281
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:19.239
<v Speaker 6>got to tell you, it's as political as it can get.

1282
01:11:19.279 --> 01:11:22.399
<v Speaker 6>And I think the president is on firm legal ground.

1283
01:11:23.079 --> 01:11:25.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm proud that I've said this before. When you've had

1284
01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:28.680
<v Speaker 6>me on your show, and those things like the records

1285
01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:30.800
<v Speaker 6>case in mar Lago that you and I talked about

1286
01:11:31.439 --> 01:11:34.199
<v Speaker 6>quite a while ago. We predicted that that that would

1287
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:37.239
<v Speaker 6>go away. Uh the appointment of the special counsel, we

1288
01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:41.800
<v Speaker 6>predicted was improperly done. And uh so I think I

1289
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:45.880
<v Speaker 6>think likewise here, uh these these some of these judges

1290
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:50.359
<v Speaker 6>have crossed the line. And the Constitution clearly provides for

1291
01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:54.920
<v Speaker 6>a separation of powers, things like that the national security

1292
01:11:54.920 --> 01:11:58.800
<v Speaker 6>and national defense are are exclusively the province of the

1293
01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:01.399
<v Speaker 6>of the President of the United States, and the courts

1294
01:12:01.640 --> 01:12:05.920
<v Speaker 6>should not be entangling themselves in these things. And and

1295
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:07.720
<v Speaker 6>so I think the president will prevail.

1296
01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>So you know, when I when I look at things

1297
01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:16.199
<v Speaker 1>like the ruling about Donald Trump wants to uh not

1298
01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>have accommodations for transgenders in the United States military, and

1299
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:23.239
<v Speaker 1>there's a judge on there talking about how all these

1300
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>things are medically necessary, and you know, Trump can't do that,

1301
01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>And and I think to myself, you know what, what

1302
01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:32.199
<v Speaker 1>if there was you know what if there's a different

1303
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:37.239
<v Speaker 1>administration in and they and they want to uh do

1304
01:12:37.279 --> 01:12:40.520
<v Speaker 1>all these things for transgenders, and and a federal judge

1305
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:43.119
<v Speaker 1>says no, you can't do that, or you know, a

1306
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:46.399
<v Speaker 1>federal judge says, you know, people with one leg ought

1307
01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to be able to be in combat positions. I mean,

1308
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>all these just name any sort of crazy scenario you

1309
01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>might be able to think of. If these judges, and

1310
01:12:55.319 --> 01:12:58.079
<v Speaker 1>and most of them are lower level, the district judges

1311
01:12:58.119 --> 01:13:00.399
<v Speaker 1>on the you know, on the federal scale that are

1312
01:13:00.399 --> 01:13:05.039
<v Speaker 1>making these and some nationwide decisions, if if they just

1313
01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>they can look at any particular policy under the way

1314
01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that these sort of things are being rolled out now

1315
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and decide they don't like it, and and they can

1316
01:13:13.760 --> 01:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>order or execute an order that that says, you know,

1317
01:13:17.960 --> 01:13:20.159
<v Speaker 1>you have to adhere to my way of looking at things.

1318
01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>And why even have a chief executive if we're going

1319
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to make it subservient to a handful of federal judges.

1320
01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't agree more with you.

1321
01:13:32.600 --> 01:13:36.479
<v Speaker 6>The I mean, if you substitute transgender and say, okay, so,

1322
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:39.159
<v Speaker 6>so if it were something else other than transgender, and

1323
01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:42.399
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned it's someone without a leg or or or

1324
01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:45.199
<v Speaker 6>so let's say it's someone who's paralyzed in a wheelchair

1325
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:49.000
<v Speaker 6>who wants to be an air traffic controller or wants

1326
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:51.960
<v Speaker 6>to be wants to be something wants to be a

1327
01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:55.159
<v Speaker 6>pilot in the military, does does the millity. These are

1328
01:13:55.239 --> 01:13:58.680
<v Speaker 6>these are all things that that there is a unique circumstance.

1329
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:02.199
<v Speaker 6>And then the president has the right and so does

1330
01:14:02.319 --> 01:14:07.039
<v Speaker 6>so does the military to describe the conditions necessary for

1331
01:14:07.119 --> 01:14:12.720
<v Speaker 6>people to perform these vital services. So these judges confuse

1332
01:14:14.399 --> 01:14:17.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, everyday living situations with with things like the

1333
01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:22.239
<v Speaker 6>military and and the national security and state secrets and

1334
01:14:22.279 --> 01:14:25.520
<v Speaker 6>things like that and and so uh. They are most

1335
01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:28.439
<v Speaker 6>of them district court judges, which is the lowest rung

1336
01:14:28.439 --> 01:14:31.520
<v Speaker 6>in the federal uh, federal level. And then above that,

1337
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:33.800
<v Speaker 6>of course is the are the circuit courts and and

1338
01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:36.920
<v Speaker 6>then ultimately the US Supreme Court. So many of these

1339
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:39.840
<v Speaker 6>issues may may ultimately make their way to the Supreme courts.

1340
01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:41.880
<v Speaker 6>Some of them will get we weeded out in the

1341
01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:45.039
<v Speaker 6>circuit courts. But I think the president is really on

1342
01:14:45.119 --> 01:14:48.079
<v Speaker 6>strong ground and I think the American public supports him

1343
01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:48.760
<v Speaker 6>in this effort.

1344
01:14:49.000 --> 01:14:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, sure he's got he's got an overwhelming mandate. And

1345
01:14:52.920 --> 01:14:56.039
<v Speaker 1>it is do you see the possibility of any long

1346
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>term damage from these judges connect you know, conducting them

1347
01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:02.359
<v Speaker 1>elves their way. They are doing it. And you know,

1348
01:15:02.399 --> 01:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>when when you look into some of the and there's

1349
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>been various outlets that have done deep dives into the

1350
01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:12.439
<v Speaker 1>political backgrounds of a lot of these judges. And many

1351
01:15:12.479 --> 01:15:16.119
<v Speaker 1>of these judges are compromised in so many different ways,

1352
01:15:16.159 --> 01:15:19.640
<v Speaker 1>whether it's through family members or donations that they have made,

1353
01:15:19.960 --> 01:15:23.359
<v Speaker 1>or they have direct contact. Part of their lives is

1354
01:15:23.399 --> 01:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>directly contacted with the issue that they're making a ruling on.

1355
01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>And we you know, this is another thing that you

1356
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:35.279
<v Speaker 1>and I have talked about. You know, where is the

1357
01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the the responsibility for these judges to recuse themselves when

1358
01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:43.399
<v Speaker 1>they run up against something like this. I mean, have

1359
01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:45.880
<v Speaker 1>we just sort of you know, in the in the

1360
01:15:46.039 --> 01:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the whole scope of jurisprudence, have we just

1361
01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of lost that that that ethic that if you

1362
01:15:52.199 --> 01:15:55.119
<v Speaker 1>have something that's going to create the appearance of a

1363
01:15:55.159 --> 01:15:58.359
<v Speaker 1>conflict of interest and you you recruise yourself, you step away,

1364
01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and you say, someone else is got to handle this

1365
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:03.159
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I don't want to have that you

1366
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:05.279
<v Speaker 1>have that appearance of impropriet.

1367
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:08.239
<v Speaker 6>Well, there there is in fact a process in the

1368
01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:13.399
<v Speaker 6>federal system to address uh these these either either a

1369
01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:17.239
<v Speaker 6>parent or perceived conflicts of interest. The judges in the

1370
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:20.880
<v Speaker 6>first instance, get to get to decide for themselves. However,

1371
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:24.439
<v Speaker 6>there there certainly is an appeal process, and there's also

1372
01:16:24.479 --> 01:16:27.760
<v Speaker 6>a review process within the federal courts. So but but

1373
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:31.359
<v Speaker 6>when you're when you're talking about President Trump, we've never

1374
01:16:31.479 --> 01:16:35.279
<v Speaker 6>seen anybody. First of all, as the President himself says,

1375
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:38.000
<v Speaker 6>you know, nobody's nobody's been true more stuff than he

1376
01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:41.359
<v Speaker 6>has in the system. Uh, he's an expert on on

1377
01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:45.720
<v Speaker 6>conflicts of interest by judges, the judges in New York,

1378
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:48.720
<v Speaker 6>uh in his criminal trial and and in the in

1379
01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:52.279
<v Speaker 6>the records case in New York, and and the and

1380
01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:55.319
<v Speaker 6>the Attorney General of New York, and the conflicts that

1381
01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:59.319
<v Speaker 6>were so apparent to the rest of the world where

1382
01:16:59.399 --> 01:17:04.319
<v Speaker 6>we're just horrendous. And so once again, you know, these

1383
01:17:04.720 --> 01:17:07.399
<v Speaker 6>everybody takes the puts on the rope and sits on

1384
01:17:07.399 --> 01:17:10.439
<v Speaker 6>a federal bench has some background or they wouldn't be there.

1385
01:17:10.680 --> 01:17:14.520
<v Speaker 6>And so when that background conflicts with with fair play,

1386
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:18.560
<v Speaker 6>that's when they're supposed to recuse themselves. We have strong

1387
01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:21.640
<v Speaker 6>opinions about about some of these cases and then the

1388
01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:23.800
<v Speaker 6>interests of some of the courts. But there is a

1389
01:17:23.880 --> 01:17:27.399
<v Speaker 6>process and it should work, and ultimately it may The

1390
01:17:27.560 --> 01:17:30.680
<v Speaker 6>problem is exactly what you we are alluding to. The

1391
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:34.239
<v Speaker 6>damage that's done there is the ability of these courts

1392
01:17:34.520 --> 01:17:37.479
<v Speaker 6>to interfere in the in the you know, in in

1393
01:17:37.640 --> 01:17:41.520
<v Speaker 6>everyday situations that are occurring right before them, and then

1394
01:17:41.600 --> 01:17:44.159
<v Speaker 6>the delay that it takes to get those things corrected

1395
01:17:44.199 --> 01:17:46.960
<v Speaker 6>in the court system. So those two hundred and fifty

1396
01:17:47.439 --> 01:17:51.479
<v Speaker 6>criminals that are that are sitting down in in in

1397
01:17:51.560 --> 01:17:55.800
<v Speaker 6>the Caribbean in jail or you know, they if some

1398
01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:58.960
<v Speaker 6>court directs them to be returned, h there will go

1399
01:17:59.119 --> 01:18:01.880
<v Speaker 6>be a process appeal that and get it up probably

1400
01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:04.319
<v Speaker 6>to the US Supreme Court. But there's no way that

1401
01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:09.039
<v Speaker 6>these guys should be interfering in in in the extradition

1402
01:18:09.199 --> 01:18:13.880
<v Speaker 6>of of or the elimination of criminals who entered the

1403
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:19.239
<v Speaker 6>United States improperly and are our members of an organization. Uh,

1404
01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:22.399
<v Speaker 6>this is a wailing gang that's been declared to be

1405
01:18:22.439 --> 01:18:23.840
<v Speaker 6>an enemy of the United States.

1406
01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:24.239
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1407
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:26.720
<v Speaker 6>We would want the president to do that, and so

1408
01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:31.439
<v Speaker 6>somebody interfering with that, in my opinion, is on the wrong,

1409
01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:32.399
<v Speaker 6>wrong route.

1410
01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it just seems to me that you know,

1411
01:18:34.399 --> 01:18:38.560
<v Speaker 1>there there's so many, so many items that come under

1412
01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the executive branch and then and when you talk about

1413
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>the executive branch, that power is vested in the president

1414
01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>of the United States. So when you're talking about foreign

1415
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>policy or you're talking about the military, are you're talking

1416
01:18:50.920 --> 01:18:56.399
<v Speaker 1>about spending under you know, different organizations or different uh,

1417
01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:00.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, government entities that fall under the executive brandts.

1418
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:02.239
<v Speaker 1>When you're talking about how much money they can spend,

1419
01:19:02.359 --> 01:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>who can be in charge of it, and all the

1420
01:19:03.840 --> 01:19:07.279
<v Speaker 1>rest that you know, those are items that are under control.

1421
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:10.239
<v Speaker 1>They were not interfering with anyone's civil rights and that

1422
01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>if that that seems to me it would be another issue.

1423
01:19:13.039 --> 01:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>But these these are all things that come under the

1424
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:19.159
<v Speaker 1>executive and and they're just it's just is a delaying

1425
01:19:19.239 --> 01:19:22.319
<v Speaker 1>tactic because you know, these people on the left know

1426
01:19:22.840 --> 01:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that they have not succeeded in the arena of ideas.

1427
01:19:26.800 --> 01:19:26.960
<v Speaker 9>Well.

1428
01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.600
<v Speaker 6>I don't believe that the Constitution or anybody else gave

1429
01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:33.239
<v Speaker 6>these judges the ability, for example, to order the president

1430
01:19:33.319 --> 01:19:37.800
<v Speaker 6>to continue to pay foreign aid to two nations whose

1431
01:19:37.960 --> 01:19:42.239
<v Speaker 6>interests are adverse to ours, or for UH cooked up

1432
01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:47.239
<v Speaker 6>programs that the Biden administration invented UH to fund these

1433
01:19:47.279 --> 01:19:51.119
<v Speaker 6>things in foreign foreign nations. In the President's State of

1434
01:19:51.119 --> 01:19:54.079
<v Speaker 6>the Union address, the identified a whole laundry list of

1435
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:57.199
<v Speaker 6>these things, and I think most of us, you know,

1436
01:19:57.479 --> 01:19:59.640
<v Speaker 6>most of us have thought that there was a lot

1437
01:19:59.640 --> 01:20:02.159
<v Speaker 6>of stuff going on in DC, but I'm not sure

1438
01:20:02.159 --> 01:20:04.520
<v Speaker 6>that any of us knew the extent of which it

1439
01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:08.239
<v Speaker 6>was until Musk and and Doage got involved and ferreted

1440
01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:11.199
<v Speaker 6>out this stuff. So they've done the country a great service,

1441
01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:16.520
<v Speaker 6>and I applaud elon Musk and Doge for what they've done.

1442
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:19.640
<v Speaker 6>The criticism coming from the left is, in my mind,

1443
01:20:19.720 --> 01:20:24.039
<v Speaker 6>is mind boggling, because what they're criticizing is the ferreting

1444
01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:30.439
<v Speaker 6>out of corruption and almost criminal actions on the part

1445
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:32.880
<v Speaker 6>of these people who set this stuff up, and the

1446
01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:36.600
<v Speaker 6>programs that they're supporting are insane. I don't think you know,

1447
01:20:36.640 --> 01:20:39.239
<v Speaker 6>when the president says he wants to restore common sense

1448
01:20:39.279 --> 01:20:42.960
<v Speaker 6>to America, that's exactly what he's doing. And so for

1449
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:45.800
<v Speaker 6>some judge to get involved and try to order the

1450
01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:48.800
<v Speaker 6>President of the United States to continue to make these

1451
01:20:49.119 --> 01:20:52.479
<v Speaker 6>phony payments to these nations is really improper.

1452
01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much you followed the Auto Penn

1453
01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:57.239
<v Speaker 1>story about Joe Biden. How big of a deal do

1454
01:20:57.279 --> 01:21:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you think that is? Depending on its documents were signed

1455
01:21:01.840 --> 01:21:04.159
<v Speaker 1>by the autopen and then I guess if you're going

1456
01:21:04.199 --> 01:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to dig further into this, uh, it seems to me

1457
01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that it bears worth looking into whether or not Joe

1458
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Biden specifically authorized the use of the autopen on on

1459
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the signing of some of these documents.

1460
01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:21.319
<v Speaker 6>I think the autopen deal is a big deal. I

1461
01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:24.800
<v Speaker 6>think that's a huge deal. You know these you get

1462
01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:27.359
<v Speaker 6>these if you write down to the White House. Sometimes

1463
01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:29.840
<v Speaker 6>you'll get if you if you're if they if your

1464
01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:32.920
<v Speaker 6>letter is a significant, important, et cetera, you'll get a

1465
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:36.079
<v Speaker 6>personal signature back from the President. But a lot of

1466
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:39.079
<v Speaker 6>times somebody will write and congratulate them on something and

1467
01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:41.520
<v Speaker 6>those kinds of things, and so they use the autopen

1468
01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:43.960
<v Speaker 6>on a lot of a lot of the letters coming

1469
01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:46.880
<v Speaker 6>out of there are auto penned. I don't think that

1470
01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:50.239
<v Speaker 6>it's possible to autopen a pardon.

1471
01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:51.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so.

1472
01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:54.760
<v Speaker 6>And and I think that that that once you get

1473
01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:57.359
<v Speaker 6>to the to the fact, to the fact that any

1474
01:21:57.359 --> 01:22:00.800
<v Speaker 6>of these things were autopen, I think that inlid to

1475
01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:02.840
<v Speaker 6>be honest with you, and then and then I do

1476
01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:05.520
<v Speaker 6>think that it's significant and it's important that we get

1477
01:22:05.560 --> 01:22:09.079
<v Speaker 6>to the bottom of who did this because if someone

1478
01:22:09.079 --> 01:22:10.920
<v Speaker 6>in the White House was auto penning a lot of

1479
01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:13.239
<v Speaker 6>other stuff, we ought to know about it. And maybe

1480
01:22:13.239 --> 01:22:15.720
<v Speaker 6>there are other things that are invalid as well. The President,

1481
01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:18.840
<v Speaker 6>President Biden, that didn't seem to know much about a

1482
01:22:18.840 --> 01:22:21.439
<v Speaker 6>lot of things at the end, and I suspect that

1483
01:22:21.920 --> 01:22:24.960
<v Speaker 6>he may not have known exactly who he was pardoning

1484
01:22:24.960 --> 01:22:27.600
<v Speaker 6>and in what and what proportion. Some of these were

1485
01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:30.520
<v Speaker 6>masked pardons of thousands of people. Yeah, and if those

1486
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:33.479
<v Speaker 6>were auto penned, listen, they're they're invalid.

1487
01:22:34.760 --> 01:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>You think those So you think some of those pardons

1488
01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:40.560
<v Speaker 1>could be invalid if if it turns out? How about that?

1489
01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:44.720
<v Speaker 6>I absolutely do. I I don't think there's any There

1490
01:22:44.840 --> 01:22:47.199
<v Speaker 6>is no authority for anyone to do that, to sign

1491
01:22:47.319 --> 01:22:47.800
<v Speaker 6>his name.

1492
01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:50.119
<v Speaker 1>There's no authority for somebody to push a.

1493
01:22:50.000 --> 01:22:52.880
<v Speaker 6>Button and get and have the Joe Biden's signature appear

1494
01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:54.720
<v Speaker 6>on a pardon that he didn't sign himself.

1495
01:22:55.079 --> 01:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

1496
01:22:55.720 --> 01:22:57.439
<v Speaker 6>I don't think there's any question about that.

1497
01:22:57.680 --> 01:23:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Wow, how about that? We got about a minute left.

1498
01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:03.279
<v Speaker 1>You're working on a case right now involving the governor

1499
01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>there in Pennsylvania, and this guy's got some some problems

1500
01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>with some missing emails, Governor Shapiro.

1501
01:23:11.560 --> 01:23:16.319
<v Speaker 6>Governor Shapiro is a lot in the news over here,

1502
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:20.680
<v Speaker 6>and there are an awful lot of Republican women who

1503
01:23:20.680 --> 01:23:23.439
<v Speaker 6>are just outraged at what he's done. In the case

1504
01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:26.920
<v Speaker 6>that we're involved in, which is supported by the Thomas

1505
01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:30.279
<v Speaker 6>Moore Society. As you know, I'm part of that fine

1506
01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:34.319
<v Speaker 6>organization in Chicago and so on, behalf of a news

1507
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:37.159
<v Speaker 6>outlet over here called Broad and Liberty. We've been able

1508
01:23:37.159 --> 01:23:41.119
<v Speaker 6>to establish in court that there are there are completely

1509
01:23:41.239 --> 01:23:46.039
<v Speaker 6>missing emails in the investigation into one of Shapiro's cabinet secretaries,

1510
01:23:46.439 --> 01:23:49.720
<v Speaker 6>for whom Shapiro paid two hundred and ninety five thousand

1511
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:53.079
<v Speaker 6>dollars to settle sexual harassment.

1512
01:23:53.039 --> 01:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred and ninety five thousand taxpayer dollars. Right yes, sir,

1513
01:23:57.199 --> 01:23:59.600
<v Speaker 1>right out of the government. Very nice, very nice.

1514
01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:02.479
<v Speaker 6>That's it that this is about as bad as the

1515
01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:07.079
<v Speaker 6>Nixon missing missing gap in the tapes. It's these emails

1516
01:24:07.079 --> 01:24:08.319
<v Speaker 6>are gone, Tom King.

1517
01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:11.319
<v Speaker 1>The playbook never changes. It doesn't matter what group of

1518
01:24:11.359 --> 01:24:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Democrats you're talking about. The playbook is always the same.

1519
01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:17.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's it seems like it's always the taxpayers who

1520
01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:20.640
<v Speaker 1>have to to make good for their misdeeds. But Tom King.

1521
01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:23.159
<v Speaker 1>As always, it is great to have you on the time.

1525

01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:38.279
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred WLW.

1528
01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.880
<v Speaker 9>The whole Town's Baddie about Cincinnati.

1529
01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:42.359
<v Speaker 5>What a team? What a team?

1530
01:24:42.399 --> 01:24:42.479
<v Speaker 2>You?

1531
01:24:42.520 --> 01:24:46.479
<v Speaker 1>What a team?

1532
01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:51.840
<v Speaker 5>Hello, Piet and I'm broadcasting.

1533
01:24:56.000 --> 01:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Segment. We've got high drama happening the arena arena right now.

1534
01:25:01.520 --> 01:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>It is Aiken versus Louisville for the boys Division three championship.

1535
01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Aiken had a free throw with about eight seconds left

1536
01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:14.039
<v Speaker 1>to play. It didn't go down. Louisville got the ball

1537
01:25:14.119 --> 01:25:19.119
<v Speaker 1>on a possession arrow. Then they inbounded. Aiken fouled right away,

1538
01:25:19.239 --> 01:25:22.800
<v Speaker 1>so now there was about four seconds left. Louisville made

1539
01:25:22.840 --> 01:25:25.199
<v Speaker 1>the Louisville made the front end of a one to one,

1540
01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:30.039
<v Speaker 1>So it is now sixty three sixty one, one point

1541
01:25:30.199 --> 01:25:35.039
<v Speaker 1>nine left to play. A doesn't get any better. At

1542
01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Akins got one final shot, one final shot they're gonna need. Well,

1543
01:25:40.840 --> 01:25:43.359
<v Speaker 1>they only need a two pointer, but it's gonna they're

1544
01:25:43.399 --> 01:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to heave it up right away. One point

1545
01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I think one point nine you got time for a catch.

1546
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you have time for a dribble.

1547
01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:52.840
<v Speaker 7>But I think you gotta be a long pass like

1548
01:25:52.880 --> 01:25:54.720
<v Speaker 7>the other night with Alabama State.

1549
01:25:54.640 --> 01:25:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Long pass, and you gotta shoot it, and they got

1550
01:25:57.399 --> 01:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to drain it. So they've got one chance for glory.

1551
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:04.239
<v Speaker 1>They're in a timeout right now, Aiken High School take

1552
01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:06.319
<v Speaker 1>them out. What's the nickname of Lewisville? You know, no

1553
01:26:06.399 --> 01:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>idea Canton could care less. Looks like they got a

1554
01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>lion or something on the graphic there. God bless them all. Right,

1555
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>here we go, Here we go. It can get ready

1556
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:21.439
<v Speaker 1>to inbounds under their own bat or under the Lewisville basket.

1557
01:26:23.319 --> 01:26:24.680
<v Speaker 1>So they've got to go to the length of the

1558
01:26:24.720 --> 01:26:28.119
<v Speaker 1>floor here in one point nine seconds and get up

1559
01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:31.239
<v Speaker 1>a shot or else they will fall sixty one to

1560
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty three. There's the inbound pass, dribble from half court,

1561
01:26:34.920 --> 01:26:38.199
<v Speaker 1>long shot off the top of the glass, and the

1562
01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>ball Kreene's away and Aiken comes up short, falling to

1563
01:26:43.000 --> 01:26:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Lewisville in the Division III Championship. Sixty three sixty one.

1564
01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But what a comeback, What a comeback for the eighteen

1565
01:26:49.760 --> 01:26:50.479
<v Speaker 1>nineteen points.

1566
01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:53.760
<v Speaker 7>And at halftime and went back in the room between

1567
01:26:53.800 --> 01:26:55.279
<v Speaker 7>here and there, and all of a sudden, it's like

1568
01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:57.960
<v Speaker 7>a thirty eight to thirty four whatever it was, it's

1569
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:00.479
<v Speaker 7>like a four point game. And I'm going, what the

1570
01:27:00.520 --> 01:27:03.039
<v Speaker 7>world did They must have I don't know, they must

1571
01:27:03.039 --> 01:27:06.640
<v Speaker 7>have put the cord on a on a swivel or something,

1572
01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:10.399
<v Speaker 7>but ake and they had their chances but just couldn't.

1573
01:27:10.399 --> 01:27:13.039
<v Speaker 1>They just couldn't get at the fall. The Louisville Leopards

1574
01:27:13.119 --> 01:27:16.479
<v Speaker 1>the Leopards, So now you know what Lewisville is, the

1575
01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Leopards regulations. Ak Now, what a game, What a game?

1576
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:24.079
<v Speaker 1>What a game? And Aiken had a it was sixty

1577
01:27:24.119 --> 01:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>two sixty one and Aiken had a free throw I

1578
01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>guess the front end of a one and one to

1579
01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.399
<v Speaker 1>tie it up. And that free throw it bounced around

1580
01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:36.239
<v Speaker 1>like three or four times on the rim just didn't

1581
01:27:36.279 --> 01:27:38.479
<v Speaker 1>fall through. You know. I was and I was watching

1582
01:27:38.520 --> 01:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the playing games at U D Arena the other night,

1583
01:27:41.199 --> 01:27:44.079
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking to myself, those rims at UD

1584
01:27:44.239 --> 01:27:48.039
<v Speaker 1>are pretty friendly because there was a lot of shots. Yep,

1585
01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:51.039
<v Speaker 1>during that Xavier game that seemed like they would bounce

1586
01:27:51.079 --> 01:27:53.920
<v Speaker 1>around and then find their way in and that one

1587
01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.800
<v Speaker 1>just just didn't go down for the Falcons and they

1588
01:27:56.840 --> 01:27:58.359
<v Speaker 1>come up a couple of points short.

01:30:27.119 --> 01:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>buddy of mine who loves the handicap. He's always got

1631
01:30:29.960 --> 01:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the racing for him. He's always calling me with hot tips.

1667

<v Speaker 1>chocolate chip skillet down at the down a Great American

1668
01:32:32.800 --> 01:32:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Dolf Park today?

1669
01:32:33.560 --> 01:32:33.600
<v Speaker 9>No?

1670
01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:38.239
<v Speaker 1>No, nothing like that. No, no they did not. Did

1671
01:32:38.239 --> 01:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>they have any Did they have any shrimp?

1672
01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Rimp?

1673
01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:44.880
<v Speaker 1>No shrimp, No shrimp? Great American Balls, I can see.

1674
01:32:44.920 --> 01:32:44.960
<v Speaker 2>No.

1675
01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:49.520
<v Speaker 7>The biggest everybody was talking about was the walking taco.

1676
01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:53.960
<v Speaker 7>The walking talk with Grippo Chips and Montgomery and Barbecue,

1677
01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:57.239
<v Speaker 7>and it was they said it was outstanding. So if

1678
01:32:57.279 --> 01:32:59.600
<v Speaker 7>they if the taco, they ran out. If the taco

1679
01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:01.279
<v Speaker 7>was walked looking around, I mean, you got to go

1680
01:33:01.359 --> 01:33:03.119
<v Speaker 7>catch it before you can eat it. House you just

1681
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:06.920
<v Speaker 7>it's right there in like the bottom of the of

1682
01:33:06.920 --> 01:33:11.479
<v Speaker 7>the of the UH container for your potato chips. Everything's

1683
01:33:11.520 --> 01:33:13.159
<v Speaker 7>in there, and you just walk around and eat it.

1684
01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:15.800
<v Speaker 7>Why do you have to walk around? I don't know.

1685
01:33:16.239 --> 01:33:17.479
<v Speaker 7>All depends what you want to do.

1686
01:33:17.760 --> 01:33:20.159
<v Speaker 1>You can't you sit down and eat it. No, you

1687
01:33:20.199 --> 01:33:22.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta walk and eat it because the stuff walks with you.

1688
01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:24.399
<v Speaker 1>But but you're you're the one if you.

1689
01:33:24.399 --> 01:33:27.319
<v Speaker 7>If you don't eat the walking taco walking, it's gonna

1690
01:33:27.359 --> 01:33:31.039
<v Speaker 7>walk away from what it did?

1691
01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they get walk.

1692
01:33:35.960 --> 01:33:39.520
<v Speaker 7>The taco was walking and the people were standing there

1693
01:33:39.560 --> 01:33:41.920
<v Speaker 7>at the table and they look down and then walking

1694
01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:43.199
<v Speaker 7>taco was just walk.

1695
01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>You walk away from walking away. Yeah, you got to

1696
01:33:47.000 --> 01:33:47.640
<v Speaker 1>catch it first.

1697
01:33:47.720 --> 01:33:50.520
<v Speaker 7>That's why you gotta walk with it. You put it

1698
01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:52.760
<v Speaker 7>down and you walk away, forget it.

1699
01:33:52.840 --> 01:33:55.039
<v Speaker 1>The taco is going to walk away. Somebody's got to

1700
01:33:55.079 --> 01:33:59.439
<v Speaker 1>get it. Just say it so walking. So you're gonna

1701
01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>have the top goes walking around on the Great American Ballpark.

1702
01:34:02.479 --> 01:34:05.359
<v Speaker 7>Tip tip eight, about six of them, and the last

1703
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:08.479
<v Speaker 7>one she had it, she sat it down. She turned

1704
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:12.600
<v Speaker 7>to talk to somebody and the things started moving. You got,

1705
01:34:12.800 --> 01:34:16.039
<v Speaker 7>if the taco's gotta walk, you gotta walk with the taco.

1706
01:34:16.239 --> 01:34:18.079
<v Speaker 1>How about how about when they d out? How about

1707
01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:20.600
<v Speaker 1>when they have bark in the park night and he

1708
01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:22.840
<v Speaker 1>got with tacos walking all over the dogs and be

1709
01:34:22.840 --> 01:34:27.239
<v Speaker 1>going crazy. Don't ask me, I don't know. That'll be

1710
01:34:27.239 --> 01:34:30.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. Yeah, I'm sure it would be sure. The

1711
01:34:30.560 --> 01:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Reds will love that. All right, seg have a great Friday.

<v Speaker 7>that's playing.

1717
01:34:43.680 --> 01:34:47.840
<v Speaker 1>We leave you with the immortal words of the stewed report.

1718
01:34:49.439 --> 01:34:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Next week's highway patrol story is a very unusual one.

1719
01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I hope you'll be with us until then. Remember it

1720
01:34:55.199 --> 01:34:55.840
<v Speaker 1>isn't the car.

1721
01:34:55.760 --> 01:34:56.800
<v Speaker 4>That kills, it's the driver.

1722
01:34:57.399 --> 01:35:00.479
<v Speaker 1>This is Roderick Crauwford saying, see you next week, See

1723
01:35:00.520 --> 01:35:14.199
<v Speaker 1>you next week, seg sir on seven hundred WLW. A

1724
01:35:14.319 --> 01:35:16.800
<v Speaker 1>right back on the big one, seven hundred WLW, Dan

1725
01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Carroll for Bill Cunningham. Just a few minutes to go

1726
01:35:18.840 --> 01:35:20.800
<v Speaker 1>here before the top of the hour. Then Rocky, you'll

1727
01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>take it to Red's Baseball at three thirty. But I

1728
01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:26.079
<v Speaker 1>was on last night and I was talking about a

1729
01:35:26.079 --> 01:35:27.920
<v Speaker 1>piece that was written in a daily wire by a

1730
01:35:27.960 --> 01:35:31.640
<v Speaker 1>guy named Luke Rosiak. And if you get a chance

1731
01:35:31.680 --> 01:35:33.159
<v Speaker 1>to go there and look it up, the title of

1732
01:35:33.239 --> 01:35:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it is inside the now shuttered federal agency where employees

1733
01:35:37.600 --> 01:35:42.159
<v Speaker 1>live like reigning kings. And so this tells the story

1734
01:35:42.960 --> 01:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of a little federal agency called the Federal Mediation Consolation Services.

1735
01:35:50.479 --> 01:35:57.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is a federal agency that has a nine

1736
01:35:57.039 --> 01:36:01.319
<v Speaker 1>story office tower on K Street and DC sixty employees,

1737
01:36:02.159 --> 01:36:07.199
<v Speaker 1>many of them who actually worked from home prior to

1738
01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. The managers there had luxury suites full bathrooms.

1739
01:36:12.760 --> 01:36:15.720
<v Speaker 1>One manager would often be in the shower when she

1740
01:36:15.920 --> 01:36:19.439
<v Speaker 1>was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge.

1741
01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>The FMCS recorded its director as being on a year's

1742
01:36:25.079 --> 01:36:28.319
<v Speaker 1>long business trip to DC so he could have all

1743
01:36:28.399 --> 01:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>his meals and living expenses covered by taxpayers simply for

1744
01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:37.159
<v Speaker 1>showing up. This agency has two hundred and thirty employees

1745
01:36:37.399 --> 01:36:41.720
<v Speaker 1>that exists to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions

1746
01:36:41.720 --> 01:36:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and businesses as an independent agency, and it is so

1747
01:36:46.439 --> 01:36:50.800
<v Speaker 1>small that it literally has no oversight. And the reporter

1748
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:54.680
<v Speaker 1>on this, Luke Rosiac, did a deep dive into this

1749
01:36:55.600 --> 01:36:59.920
<v Speaker 1>fm CS ten years ago and he was talking about

1750
01:37:00.760 --> 01:37:04.279
<v Speaker 1>there's one official there who ordered champagne and two hundred

1751
01:37:04.279 --> 01:37:08.279
<v Speaker 1>dollars coasters for his office, purchased artwork that was painted

1752
01:37:08.279 --> 01:37:13.520
<v Speaker 1>by his wife. They talked about one employee said he

1753
01:37:13.560 --> 01:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>said he's never seen anything like it. He says they

1754
01:37:16.560 --> 01:37:20.079
<v Speaker 1>spent two four hundred dollars to retouch a painting a

1755
01:37:20.119 --> 01:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>portrait of someone who had briefly held the top job. There.

1756
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:29.640
<v Speaker 1>There's one employee, a guy named Charles Burton, who retired

1757
01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:35.399
<v Speaker 1>from the FMCS. After he retired, he incorporated an LLC

1758
01:37:36.239 --> 01:37:40.399
<v Speaker 1>to which another FMCS employee paid eighty five thousand dollars

1759
01:37:41.840 --> 01:37:45.119
<v Speaker 1>using his purchase card. When they say purchase card, they

1760
01:37:45.159 --> 01:37:50.159
<v Speaker 1>mean government credit card. Then this guy's business was listed

1761
01:37:50.199 --> 01:37:53.960
<v Speaker 1>as a call service center, even though the company had

1762
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:59.159
<v Speaker 1>neither a website nor a working phone. And this article

1763
01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:02.279
<v Speaker 1>just goes on and on and on. Thirty thousand dollars

1764
01:38:02.279 --> 01:38:06.560
<v Speaker 1>on trinkets for employees, It had an in house gym,

1765
01:38:07.039 --> 01:38:10.920
<v Speaker 1>an ice machine that costs thirty eight hundred bucks. And again,

1766
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:13.840
<v Speaker 1>when you talk about all these things, you know it's

1767
01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:17.720
<v Speaker 1>small potatoes. But we have to start getting into the

1768
01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:20.800
<v Speaker 1>mindset as a nation that this kind of stuff is

1769
01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>not okay that a few thousand dollars here or a

1770
01:38:23.720 --> 01:38:25.880
<v Speaker 1>few million dollars there, or even a billion or so

1771
01:38:26.000 --> 01:38:28.279
<v Speaker 1>dollars over there, and the big scheme of things is

1772
01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:30.760
<v Speaker 1>not all that much. We we just got to start

1773
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:33.720
<v Speaker 1>looking at that as what a waste it is, and

1774
01:38:33.760 --> 01:38:37.079
<v Speaker 1>we cut that out. Then eventually hopefully we can move

1775
01:38:37.119 --> 01:38:39.359
<v Speaker 1>on to the bigger stuff. But again it's on daily
