WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:03.720 All right, twelve oh eight, welcome in me. And it 2 00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:06.360 is the average American in for the great American on 3 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.320 this Thursday. I hope you're having a great day wherever 4 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:11.400 you are. Nobody's having the kind of day that Ohio 5 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:16.039 State football coach Ryan Day has had so far. He's 6 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.280 signed a seven year deal up in Columbus. He's gonna 7 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.039 make twelve and a half million dollars a year, all 8 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.120 for winning a national championship. No way that deal gets done. 9 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.320 After that, Michigan came back in November. Hey man, live 10 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.200 in the moment, get what you can, right. Well, we've 11 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.200 seen just at breakdeck pace here in less than three weeks, 12 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.520 Trunk forty seven. And I mean it's not one or 13 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.840 two things a day, it's six or seven things a day, 14 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.640 not the least of which is trying to buy the 15 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.560 Gaza Strip. And of course Elon Musk is doing a 16 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.399 deep dive into where this country is spending money and 17 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.799 how it's wasting money. And for some reason, the Democrats, 18 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.679 or at least the more vocal Democrats, have chosen that 19 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.759 hill to die on. And it makes you wonder why 20 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.799 anytime you have a business that is losing billions of dollars, 21 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.680 yet its cash flow is still fairly strong. And that's 22 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.920 literally what's going on in this country. We're trillions of 23 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.480 dollars with the tea in debt, and yet our cash 24 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.000 flow is relatively strong. I mean, half of this country 25 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.040 pays income tax to say nothing about what the GDP generates. 26 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.959 But the fact of the matter is, anytime you have 27 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.799 a situation like that, any auditing company, any accounting company, 28 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.480 would come in and do what is known as a 29 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.000 deep dive into finances and to find out where this 30 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.280 is being spent, why it's being spent, and what you 31 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.319 can do so that that money is not being spent frivolously. 32 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.799 And apparently there's a lot of money being spent frivolously, 33 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.400 and that has the Democrats all up in arms. And 34 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.239 it makes one wonder, why can't everybody just look at 35 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.439 this country and say, you know what, we all live here, 36 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.640 we all breathe the same air, we all drink the 37 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.840 same water. Do we really want to be insolvent and 38 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.480 at some point the cash cow falls over and goes dead. 39 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.960 Why can't people get along and understand there is a goal, 40 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.800 and the goal is the common good? You know, I 41 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.960 thought about that a lot in the last couple of days, 42 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.599 and then I thought about a man by the name 43 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.960 of Kennon Spivak, who I have on this show quite 44 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.560 a bit. He writes for a number of different outlets, 45 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.080 including Real Clear Policy. You see him on a number 46 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.360 of national cable shows. And again again, I've had Kennan 47 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.319 on before, and then I saw him on a podcast 48 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.560 about talking about the very same thing. He has great 49 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.599 friends in his life that aren't Democrats. He was a 50 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.960 Democrat at one time, and now he is a republican 51 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.680 conservative in his voice, but at least open minded to 52 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:47.240 things that might be of beneficial to everybody, Democrats, independence, Republicans. 53 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.319 So I wanted to get him on today to talk 54 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.639 a little bit about that, how we can't all see 55 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.360 the greater good. And so it's my great pleasure to 56 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.639 welcome on in here to seven hundred WLW. Kennon Spivac. 57 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.360 How are you on this glorious day. 58 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.319 I'm great, Ken, and I'm really glad to be back. 59 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.840 Where are you, if anywhere in this world right now. 60 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.680 Kennon, I am in Palm Beach, where I admit I 61 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.759 attended one of my conservative covens, the annual dinner of 62 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.439 real clear politics. Uh, but we did this morning talk 63 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.719 about getting along with people who don't always agree with us. 64 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.639 I watched today. I don't know if you saw it. 65 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.759 You might have been involved with the shakers and movers 66 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.360 that are down there. But I watched today the National 67 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.960 Prayer Breakfast, which I had the honor of attending a 68 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.840 couple of times when I worked in Washington, DC. And 69 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.919 I heard the president President Trump talk just about that, 70 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.960 and he cited many members of Congress that were there 71 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.919 on both sides of the aisle. It was a more 72 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.479 subdued Trump. He can't help himself. He gets off the 73 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.400 rails every now and again, but by and large, it 74 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.479 was a conversation of look, you don't like a lot 75 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.840 of the things I'm doing. I don't like a lot 76 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.360 of the things that you're doing. But remember why we're 77 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.800 all here. We're trying to do the country's business. And 78 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.319 although he can be a cerbic at times, he can 79 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.800 be sarcastic at times. I noticed on this podcast, you're 80 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.960 from Brooklyn. I'm from the East Coast as well, spent 81 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.360 a lot of my youth there. It's a different kind 82 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.040 of humor. He is from Queens, New York. It's a 83 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.600 different kind of humor that has often misinterpreted. But it 84 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.120 just it seemed to me that that's really where this 85 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.040 country needs to go. And I think it's fairly evident 86 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.319 where this country wants to go in the wake of 87 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.560 the November elections, So why can't it go in that direction? 88 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.199 You know, it really should be able to. One of 89 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.879 the things this election proved is that people of all 90 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.600 ethnic backgrounds, people of all religions, all thing just came together. 91 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.800 And how they voted. Now, by the way, some voted 92 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.519 for Harris, some voted for Trump, really didn't see a 93 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.079 division along the lines that were accustomed to thinking of 94 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.360 those divisions. Now, there was some economic divisions, and there 95 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.920 were some education divisions that were a little bit more rigid, 96 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.240 but that's not who people are on the day they're born. 97 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:22.759 That's not how people first off identify themselves. And we 98 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.639 really ought to be able to see that there is 99 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.759 for most people common objectives, and for most people there 100 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.000 is more or less an agreement on the facts. And 101 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.160 if we can agree on objectives, and if we can 102 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.199 agree on facts, even if we continue to disagree on 103 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.759 some of the methods and best ways of getting there. 104 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.040 We're going to get along a whole lot better. 105 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.920 Right. In fact, again, I'm not sure the name of 106 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.360 the podcast you were on, but you mentioned a great 107 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.160 you had a great line, and it's not an original. 108 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.920 I think I've heard it before. Everyone is entitled to 109 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.639 their own opinion, but not everyone is entitled to their 110 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.560 own facts. Facts are facts and they don't change. But 111 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.319 people seem to gravitate to these echo chambers that give 112 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.000 them affirmation for what they believe, and they seem to 113 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.240 reject places where they give them information. And I think 114 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.160 that's probably where this uniting of this country needs to begin. 115 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.319 Listen to somebody else besides the folks that are telling 116 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.560 you what you believe. 117 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.639 Right Well, first to give credit to the podcast, it 118 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.439 was the Conversation on the Immigrant Storyteller Channel, and it 119 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.319 was a lot of fun doing that podcast. The quote 120 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.000 is from Daniel Patrick moynihan you pointed. 121 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:40.600 Out, which is correct. 122 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.000 I started out as a Democrat. I worked for a 123 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.839 New York State assemblyman, and I was ultimately the deputy 124 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.519 Press secretary when Daniel Patrick moynihan won his election to 125 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.920 the US Senate. And the line that people are entitled 126 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.639 to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Comes 127 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.800 from Daniel Patrick moynihan, a man who work in both 128 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.160 for Republican and Democrat administrations, a man who, by today's 129 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.600 standard many people would think should be a Republican. What 130 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:11.639 he really was was a centrist, maybe even slightly center 131 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.399 right Democrat, except on socialists, where he was clearly a Democrat. 132 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.519 And there really are only one set of facts. There 133 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.439 are multiple sets of opinions. You can look at the 134 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.000 same facts and come to a different conclusion as to 135 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.800 the best way of solving things. An example, I gave 136 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.800 him a podcast, and I think it's a good example. 137 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.160 I don't think there's any questioning the fact that a 138 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.639 child who's born in a wealthy, well connected household is 139 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.399 going to have more advantages in life than a child 140 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.319 bought into born into a blue collar household, even if 141 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.439 he's born to two caring parents who believe in his 142 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.240 education and believe in his success, let alone, if he's 143 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:04.519 born into a single parent household that they have a 144 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.560 drug addicted parent who couldn't care less. 145 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.240 About the child. 146 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.160 All of those have a different chance in life. You 147 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.399 can either therefore, conclude that the solution is diversity, equity 148 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.480 and inclusion and programs based on race and hiring and 149 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:25.759 promoting and contracting with people without regard to meritocracy. Or 150 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:31.439 you can conclude that the best path forward are education 151 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.519 program that support programs to allow everyone to achieve their 152 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:42.000 full potential, but without making decisions that ultimately benefit people 153 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:47.159 based on race and disregard their qualifications and experience. I 154 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.440 come out of the second camp. I understand that people 155 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.679 come out of the first. But whatever camp someone comes 156 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.320 out in, we should start by recognizing what the real 157 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.200 issues are, what the real facts are, because we disagree 158 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.720 about those like people who think that the plight of 159 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:10.519 black people is based on a willful, systemic effort by 160 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.080 whites to dominate. 161 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.919 Over them, which is just not true. 162 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.720 If we're going to evaluate these things off of wrong 163 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.759 beliefs and facts that are in facts, will never get 164 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.799 to a common ground. 165 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.639 One hundred percent. And the only word I can think 166 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.720 of in the wake of that is trust. And it 167 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.919 almost nobody trusts each other, I think, and certainly in Washington, 168 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.600 d C. I think you wrote an article I want 169 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.440 to say two three weeks ago for real clear politics. 170 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.440 Centrist democrats can't get past tds and the left, and 171 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.399 you highlight the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Centrist Democrats 172 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.440 opposed correspundent district attorneys. Centrist Democrats believe DEI has gone 173 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.200 way too far, even though some of that is not 174 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:06.799 necessarily a bad thing. You get into the way Democrats 175 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.440 and Republicans view things like Israel, pro choice, pro life, 176 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.559 whatever it might be. But it's trust, and you have 177 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.679 to when you extend a hand, as we're hoping will 178 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.000 happen in Washington at some point in our lifetimes, you 179 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.519 have to have the trust that that hand won't be 180 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.639 swatted away but embraced in a shake. And it seems 181 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.679 like nobody wants to take that first step, and nobody 182 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:36.240 wants to take the trust that what they believe may 183 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.320 be some sort of common ground on the other side. 184 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.000 How do you get trust if there is no trust? 185 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.440 All right? First, I think that this what Richard Nixon 186 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.600 used to call the silent majority. The vast majority of 187 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.240 Americans have maybe not trust in government, but they have 188 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.480 more trust in other Americans and in other people than 189 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.159 we would think by looking at the activists and what 190 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.440 they have to say. Second, I think that the biggest problem. 191 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.279 And I don't say this because I'm the conservative. I 192 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.360 say this because I observe people, and I have many 193 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:17.600 friends who are liberals. The biggest problem is not liberals. 194 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.840 It's far left progressives who will take the head off 195 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.720 of anyone, even another fellow progressive, who in any way 196 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.399 shows accommodation to the center or the right. So put 197 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.919 that twenty percent of America to the side for a second, 198 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.000 and put to the side maybe you know five percent 199 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.559 on the far right that do the same. It's a 200 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.720 much smaller group that there are people that do the same. 201 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.320 That middle is most Americans. It's most of us. It's 202 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.960 the people who make a living, who run the country, 203 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.120 who will elect the politicians. I think that center group 204 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.080 they don't need to form a new party. They can 205 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.200 stay as Republicans and Democrats. They just have to force 206 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.799 their elector representatives to understand what they want is to 207 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:08.559 achieve common goals, not just keep fighting and not just 208 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.759 keep attacking each other. The longer the far left keeps 209 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.200 attacking some of the social issues on which Donald Trump ran, 210 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.039 the longer it's going to be before the Democrats can 211 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.000 regain any control, or more importantly, to what I'm saying 212 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.720 now achieve any results. Maybe they need to calm down 213 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:34.480 on the social issues and work with the Republicans on 214 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.919 economic issues, on foreign policy, on issues where there are 215 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.840 disagreements in America, but not on the ultimate goals for 216 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.480 the most part, on the means of getting there. 217 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.440 I know you mentioned this in the podcast. I referenced 218 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.519 that a lot of shows are echo chambers. In other words, 219 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.480 the guests saying something to what the audience wants to hear, 220 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.039 and then the next guy says it, then the next 221 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.639 guy says it. I really truly don't want and have 222 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.799 never wanted to make my show an echo chamber, because 223 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.720 I don't think you get anywhere doing that. You go 224 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.519 back to the affirmation information argument. But I do find 225 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.360 it interesting, and I think you would too. I mean, look, 226 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.320 we sent a lot of money to Washington, d C. 227 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.600 And what Elon Musk is doing right now is just 228 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:29.639 absolutely throwing the Democrats into an absolute rage. Chuck Schumer, 229 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.960 who I know. Your mother and his mother have a history. 230 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.360 They knew each other many many years ago. In fact, 231 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:39.639 his mother was instrumental in getting your mother to send 232 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.720 you to law school. It's a phenomenal story. I urge 233 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.799 anybody that is listening that would listen to that podcast, 234 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.600 they should listen to it. But the fact of the 235 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.960 matter is he looked absolutely asinine, standing up and yelling 236 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:55.279 and screaming, We're gonna win, We're gonna win. There's great 237 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.799 waste in this country. And it makes me wonder why 238 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.559 is it such a firestorm for the Democrats. It makes 239 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.799 you wonder where all that money went and why it's 240 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.159 a problem for them right now. Do you have any 241 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.759 idea why they're behaving this way? 242 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.159 Well, twofold and is one very small way. I'm going 243 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:17.039 to say that I share a concern. 244 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:18.600 One. 245 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.519 They want to protect the deep state. They want to 246 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.200 protect the administrative state. For the most part, Musk is 247 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.519 going after those parts of the federal government which have 248 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.480 tilted very very far to the left, like USA, and 249 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.799 they want to protect those programs. To a small degree. 250 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.600 There is some ambiguity, though Trump has tried a bit 251 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.240 to write it, on whether Musk's role is as a 252 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:44.960 master auditor, as a supplier of it expertise and analysis, 253 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.720 or whether he's making decisions he should not be making decisions. 254 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.559 He's not an elected official. Now, the president can delegate. 255 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:57.720 But there are some processes, there are some statutes and 256 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.840 rules that we do need to make sure are being followed. 257 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.720 But to the extent that what Musk is doing is 258 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.960 providing all the information and the capabilities of executing on decisions, 259 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:14.120 I think he's doing a terrific job and something that 260 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.320 is helping all Americans. We just have to make sure 261 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.320 the decisions are being made by elected officials and that 262 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.919 Trump makes that more clear. 263 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.679 Yeah. No, I agree one hundred percent. And I think 264 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.399 we've had far too much in this country in the 265 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.399 last five years, decision made by people that were appointed, 266 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.840 and we had no voice in their ability to make 267 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.639 decisions for you and me and everybody else. I got 268 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:38.840 to run. The next time I have you on, I 269 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:40.759 want to talk to you because in a previous life, 270 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.240 and I did not know this, you work for MGM Universal. 271 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.279 I had no idea and you had some purview over 272 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.080 some of the best movies that were ever made. Am 273 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.240 I right about this? Yeah? 274 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:56.799 Mgm UA we made Rainman, James Bond, Rocky, Pink Panther, 275 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.200 all sorts of movies. 276 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.279 Yeah, that's and I want to you know what, and 277 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.159 it holds true to my philosophy, Kennan that everything in 278 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:08.720 life runs through Cincinnati because Rainman was filmed here in Cincinnati. 279 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:10.720 A large part of it was filmed right here in Cincinnati. 280 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:11.480 Did you know that? 281 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.559 I now that you remind me. The answer is yes. 282 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.720 See I think everything runs through Cincinnati because of Procter 283 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:20.279 and Gamble. 284 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.039 Yeah. Probably true too. Look, I'm great to have you on, 285 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.440 and I know we cut into your time down there 286 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.360 in Florida, but you've got plenty of time to have 287 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.639 lunch and rub shoulders with the shakers and movers Kennan Spivak. 288 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.759 You can read them all over, but certainly at real 289 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.519 clear politics and the real clear policy section of that. 290 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.960 Stay well, my friend, we will talk down the road. 291 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.120 Thank you great, Thanks by night. 292 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.279 It's true Rainman was filmed right here in Cincinnati, right 293 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.399 long Columbia Parkway, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise film, part of 294 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.519 it in Hyde Park Film, part of it over there 295 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.600 at the Greater Cincinnati Airport. But he's right. I mean, 296 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.080 if you know, the luck has got to get past 297 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.080 Trump arrangements. You lost. The reason why you lost is 298 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.680 what you're screaming about right now. Stop it. Find somebody 299 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.160 that can lead your party, get back to what your 300 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.799 core beliefs are and stop acting like idiots. Why is 301 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.799 that not? Why is that not more evident now than 302 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.640 what it was on November fifth? It's startling, it really is. 303 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.559 I don't know who the savior is for that party. 304 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.640 It's somebody, but man, I haven't found it yet. And 305 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.319 as far as what Musk is doing, Hey, look we're 306 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.839 thirty six trillion dollars in debt. Only half of this 307 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.799 country pays income tax. I'm one of them. Yeah, I 308 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.920 want to know where my money's going. Anybody know where 309 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.039 the money went to Ukraine? Anybody vote for that? How 310 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.279 many know? How many people know where that money to 311 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.359 Ukraine went? Hell, the Ukrainians don't even know where it went. 312 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.400 And then all of this other stuff with usaaid and 313 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.960 the nonsense that we're funding unbeknownst to us with those dollars. 314 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.559 You'd bet I want to do a deep dive. I 315 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:59.480 think most rational people will. Anyway, it's twelve twenty six. 316 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.680 It's the average American in for the Great American seven 317 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:08.759 hundred WLW man Trouble in the Bedroom not anymore. Proactive 318 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.960 Men's Medical Center restores your sex life in just one 319 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.000 visit twelve thirty seven news Ready our seven hundred at WLW, 320 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.119 the average American in for the Great American. I had 321 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.319 a laugh listening to our newscast a couple of minutes ago. 322 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.880 Greg Landsman is he's afraid that there won't be any 323 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.799 federal workers left, or there'll be so many that resign 324 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.519 that the business of the government can't get done. First 325 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.880 of all, it's not going to happen. They're under what 326 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.799 their projections were they wanted pluss I check, what was it? 327 00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.480 Forty thousand? You realize how big the federal government is, 328 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.279 how many employees the federal government has. I think Greg 329 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.480 needs to be more concerned about this waste of your 330 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:54.359 tax dollars and my tax dollars. And instead of yelling 331 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:56.799 and screaming and dancing on the steps of the Capitol 332 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.559 like Chuck Schumer did, let's get more people interested in 333 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:05.440 where are money's going. Apparently Elon Musk is now going 334 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.960 to go after Doze, is now going to go after 335 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.759 and stand by for the yelling and screaming on this. 336 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:16.279 They're going to go after medicated Medicare. And you're going 337 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.799 to hear the Democrats say, oh, they're going after your Medicare, 338 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.200 they're gonna take it away. Granting is gonna die, He's 339 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.319 not gonna have enough. No, it's not what's happening. He's 340 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:30.079 looking at just how bloated those services are and how 341 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:36.680 much money is being spent wasted on those services. There's 342 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.119 a lot of fraud that goes on inside the federal government. 343 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.279 That's what he's doing. It's not like Elon Musk is 344 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.880 going to go in there and take away somebody or 345 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.359 somebody's money. He's not doing that. It's eyes only, and 346 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.440 it reports back and then Trump does what Trump thinks 347 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.799 is best, and then they go about it and honestly, 348 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.839 rather than standing on the steps of the capital and 349 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:05.200 you're screaming in an unhinged manner, which is what I 350 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:10.400 saw Democrats do yesterday, they ought to be as concerned 351 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.559 about this stuff as republicans. UPI reported more than one 352 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:17.359 hundred billion dollars and in proper Medicare and Medicaid payments 353 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.400 were made in twenty twenty three. Not to you, if 354 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.240 you have coming, but to people that are double dipping 355 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:29.000 or they're dead. Fifty one point five billion with Medicare, 356 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.640 fifty one point billion with a B billion dollars with 357 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.480 medicare twenty one billion with a B dollars with Medicaid. 358 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:43.279 That's about forty three percent of all improper payments in 359 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:45.880 the government. That's what he's doing. He's saying, look, look 360 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.240 what's going on here. But I still find it fascinating 361 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.200 why Democrats are so worked up over this. What do 362 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.279 they know that we don't know yet? Oh, I just 363 00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.680 want to know where the money's going. Money's going for 364 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.279 the super Bowl on Sunday, It's going towards at this 365 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:09.680 point Kansas City. This line is morphed from Kansas City 366 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.920 minus one and a half to Kansas City minus one. 367 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:16.319 Over under on this game is forty nine and a half. 368 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.440 But I don't know. There's a lot of interesting prop bets. 369 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.559 There are prop bets that can be made with this game. 370 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.400 And standing by to help us with that is a 371 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.079 guy that I've known forever. I mean forever it's going well, 372 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.279 not forever. That's an overstatement. Elon Musk would come to 373 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:35.240 me and say, wait a minute, that's an overstatement. Get 374 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.000 it back on the rail. So I would say I've 375 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:42.279 known Joe Fortenbat for at least fifteen years and maybe 376 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.039 closer to twenty and I have him on the show 377 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.359 every now and again. He is the money guy on 378 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:52.039 ESPN right now. You can find him on ESPN dot com. 379 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.119 You can find him on ESPN's betting shows normally between 380 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.480 six and six thirty on the mother Ship afternoon host 381 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.400 on ESPN Radio, and a guy who's made leaves and 382 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.160 bounds since I first saw him. I first met him, 383 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.519 and I wanted to get him on now to talk 384 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.640 a little bit about the wagering on this game. Joe Fortenbaugh, 385 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.720 how are you on this glorious Thursday, Ken, I'm doing great. 386 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:16.839 I can always count on a few things. 387 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.240 In my life, just if you, and one of them 388 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.759 is that I'm gonna hear from you, a friend. 389 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.400 Of mine, twice every year. I'm gonna hear. 390 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.960 From you in August because we're gonna preview the Bengals, 391 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.000 and I'm gonna hear you right before the Super Bowl 392 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.599 to talk. 393 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.759 About the Big Gates. So it's always an honor to 394 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:32.920 come on your radio show. Thank you for having me. 395 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:35.160 I'm glad you're here now. You mentioned the Bengals will 396 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:37.759 get it out of the way. Would you consider them 397 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.599 as somebody who watches this thing globally. Would you consider 398 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:41.960 them a disappointment this year? 399 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:44.319 Yeah, And I love this team. 400 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.559 I love them, And I'm not saying that because of 401 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:51.119 the audience I'm speaking to. It's just it's the rarest thing, right, 402 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.839 It's the rarest thing to. 403 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.400 Hit a home run at the quarterback. 404 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:56.720 Position and you got it. 405 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.759 And when you have that, you've gotta be able to 406 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:02.960 do better than missing out on the playoffs. 407 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.400 I don't care if it's because of a slow start, 408 00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:10.079 a defense, referees offensive line, I don't care, Like it 409 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:13.440 just doesn't matter, Like that's not a player that should 410 00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.519 be missing the postseason when we see. 411 00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.240 Some of these guys that get in. 412 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.400 So yeah, absolutely, I mean Jamar Shat had a huge season, 413 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:22.759 Higgins looked great. 414 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:24.599 The defense is obviously a problem. 415 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.960 I mean, you know, you talk about it all the time, 416 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.079 but it was a huge disappointment because we talked about 417 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.160 the legacies of Mahomes and Lamar and Josh Allen. 418 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.119 Burrow needs to be there side by side with them. 419 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.680 The weekend that Josh Allen is going against Lamar Jackson, 420 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:42.400 Burrow needs to be going against Mahomes and vice versa. 421 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:46.799 Yeah, Now, listen, if the Bengals had made the playoffs, 422 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:51.759 do you think Burrow would get serious consideration for MVP 423 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.440 if he's not already getting it now, because it sounds 424 00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.559 like Lamar Jackson is going to get this thing. But 425 00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:58.880 if they had made it, do you think that would 426 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.480 have enhanced his ability to be a contender for the MVP? 427 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:04.240 Without question? 428 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.359 As you know, I'm a bit of a gambling man myself, 429 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.839 and we studied this market every single year, and what 430 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.119 we know about this market is that two criterias stand 431 00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:18.680 out involve all else Number one playing quarterback. Number two 432 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:20.720 being a one or. 433 00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:23.559 A two seed. Making the playoffs would have helped them. 434 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.039 But when you go back, it's something like sixteen of 435 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.039 the last seventeen have been a quarterback. 436 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.759 The one dissenter is Adrian Peterson, and. 437 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.400 Then it's something along fifteen of the last sixteen don't 438 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.880 quote me, but it's close are either a one or 439 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.160 a two seed, and predominantly. 440 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:39.559 A one seed. Now this year, that's going to be 441 00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.839 interesting because I think Lamar Jackson's going to win it. 442 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.359 If you look at the history of the voters, the 443 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.160 voters who vote for all pro tend to be the 444 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.039 same voters who are voting for MVP, and if Lamar 445 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.960 Jackson was named First Team All Pro, reason could show 446 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.240 us that he's going to end up winning the MVP 447 00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.200 as well. So Burrow making the playoffs definitely would have 448 00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.079 improved the odds. But to not make the postseason the 449 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:03.799 first thing people are going to argue, and it's no 450 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.200 fault of Jos, but the first thing they're going to 451 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.240 argue is, well, how valuable can you be if they're 452 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:09.480 not even in the playoffs? 453 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.519 Well, yeah, I know, I know, and it's it's as 454 00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.599 it is. 455 00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.000 It is. 456 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.519 It's totally wrong, but it's a great analogy there about 457 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.599 what you've got, what your team's got to do to 458 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.119 help you get something like that. But listen, so this 459 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.720 game is it's a Chiefs minus one and a half. 460 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.599 That tells me that line is probably gonna morph a 461 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:29.559 little bit before game day? Does that tell you the 462 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:30.039 same thing? 463 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.440 This is interesting because the thing with this is it's 464 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.799 been sitting here all week, and normally the Super Bowl 465 00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.279 line gets pounded early and then we're done with it. 466 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:39.880 But we're not dancing around. 467 00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:44.200 Any key numbers, right, key numbers being three, seven, six, ten, 468 00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:45.000 numbers like that. 469 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.799 When it comes to the point spread. So I'm looking 470 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.000 at this and I'm thinking to. 471 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:53.440 Myself, Okay, I got a feeling we're gonna see Philadelphia 472 00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.559 money at some point. I think the guys are waiting 473 00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.240 to see how good of a price they can get 474 00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.839 with the Here's what I mean by that. Most people, 475 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.880 if you look at some of the guys who model 476 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.279 this stuff, they have this game either pick them or 477 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:09.680 they might have Philly. 478 00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:10.559 As a small favorite. 479 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.720 Problem is, if you're a book maker, you can't hang 480 00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:18.160 that price because you'll get crushed with Chiefs money because Mahomes. 481 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:20.799 As an underdog. The public loves Mahomes all that stuff. 482 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.119 So it's not just about setting a good number. You 483 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.920 got to be able to balance your books. You got 484 00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.400 to be a bookmaker and an. 485 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:28.319 Odds maker, right. You got to come out with a 486 00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:31.599 smart price. So what we saw in the AFT Championship 487 00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.559 game was very telling. 488 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.480 Buff Kansas City was minus one and a half minus 489 00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:38.799 two all week, less than forty five minutes before kickoff. 490 00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.200 All this Buffalo money came in and knocked. 491 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:41.839 It down to pick up. 492 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:44.799 That was sharp professional money coming in on the bills. 493 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.240 The Eagles are power ranked higher than the Bills, and 494 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.799 this game is on a neutral. 495 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.799 It's not an arrowhead, so I think the same thing 496 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:52.279 is coming. 497 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.240 I think there's going to be Egle money. I think 498 00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:55.400 the guys are waiting. 499 00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:58.680 To see what's the best price they can get on 500 00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:00.599 the Eagles, and then at some point, as we get 501 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.640 close to the kickoff, you're. 502 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.920 Gonna see that money hit the market. 503 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.720 That's my prediction for how this goes. 504 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.799 Yeah, no, I'm with you on that completely. I just 505 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.440 you and I have seen this too many times to 506 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.880 not believe that's exactly what's going to happen. It always 507 00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:15.839 seems to be the end because the guys that are 508 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.000 smart wait till the end. Right. They're not laying They're 509 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.960 not laying anything right now. They're waiting. They would wait. 510 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:22.440 They wait as long as they can, right. 511 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:25.880 It depends on what numbers we see. There are some 512 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.000 years where when you throw out a point bred at 513 00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.519 three and a half, they might jump in on the 514 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.720 dolls because they're gonna anticipate that money and they want 515 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:35.440 to be on the right side of the key number 516 00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:37.880 of three. This number sitting one and a half is 517 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.039 a little bit of a dead zone. Same thing with 518 00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:42.559 the total it was sitting forty nine and a half. 519 00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.559 Usually, if you like the under, you wait. 520 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.119 Until close to the kickoff because the public isn't going 521 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.839 to bet the under. The public wants to bet on 522 00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.720 action and scoring. They're gonna bet the over, So you 523 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:55.119 let them get involved late and they push the number up, 524 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:56.240 you get a better price. 525 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.039 We're starting to see some under money. Now keep that 526 00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.359 in mind. 527 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:01.160 It's just a little It went from forty nine and 528 00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:03.839 a half to forty nine, but that's very telling to me. 529 00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:06.920 I think what that tells us is there's a thought 530 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.799 process that we are not going to see a lot. 531 00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:11.880 Of possessions in this game. Philadelphia is gonna run. 532 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.440 Philadelphia likes to bleed the clock in between plays, and 533 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.240 when Kansas City's out there, it's gonna be short thinking, 534 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.359 dunk eat intermediate passing routes, and I think they're going 535 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.720 to want to try to keep the Eagle offense off 536 00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:27.839 the field and try to wear down that Philadelphia defense. 537 00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:30.119 So I think it's going to be a much slower 538 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.319 game than people anticipate as a result limited possessions, limited plays, 539 00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:36.720 Maybe it's less scoring than people realize. I have not 540 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:39.039 bet the under, but I think that's why you're seeing 541 00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:39.680 under money. 542 00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:41.880 Okay, I'm going to lay this one on you too, because, 543 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.720 as you mentioned, Philadelphia likes to run the ball. Barkley 544 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.039 averages I think one hundred and sixteen hundred and seventeen 545 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.759 yards per game, or at least he did through the 546 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.920 regular season. The projection on him to prop on him 547 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.759 is ninety three and a half yards in this game. 548 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.640 I'm getting this from DraftKings. Everybody is saying bet the under. 549 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.480 It my one eleven. I kind of feel it might 550 00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.480 be the under simply because Kansas City plays the run 551 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.039 so well. It's like four four point one yards per run. 552 00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:11.440 I don't know if Barkley goes off in this game, 553 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:11.640 do you. 554 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.319 Chiefs are number eleven in the league in defensive rush 555 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.119 success rate. 556 00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.319 Spagnolo is obviously going to have a. 557 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.200 Great game plan for how to attack Saquon Barkley. It's 558 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.519 not like Spags is coming into this game saying we 559 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.240 need to shut down the Eagles passing attack, everything else 560 00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:27.160 doesn't matter. 561 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:28.880 Like they know what the Eagles want to do. If 562 00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:30.400 you get beat through the air, so be it. 563 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:31.880 But you can't get beat on the ground. 564 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:33.640 You know, that's what Philly's coming for. 565 00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.160 This prop was as high as one twenty four and 566 00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:39.440 a half, which was wild because only nine running backs 567 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.039 in history have done that and the Super Bowl gone for. 568 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.160 What's twenty five or more and the last one was 569 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.440 Throughout Davis with the Broncos against the Packers. 570 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.880 In nineteen ninety eight, So keep that in mind as 571 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:51.039 this number is dropped. 572 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:52.039 It's interesting. 573 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:54.880 I'm not involved in anything with Barkley right now. 574 00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.519 His receiving pop will probably be. 575 00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:58.920 Two and a half perceptions. 576 00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.519 I'll probably go under that because he doesn't get too 577 00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:02.759 involved in the passing game. 578 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.039 But for the rushing prop, it's like, do. 579 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:08.160 I want to bet against him knowing two long runs 580 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:10.240 can get him there? But do I want to bet 581 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.319 on them knowing Yeah, it's a lot of. 582 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:14.519 Yards in a big matchup and it's a really good team. 583 00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.440 So I haven't done anything with him yet. Longest rush 584 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:18.960 twenty four and a half yard. 585 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.000 I might just bet the over on that Kenny break one, 586 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:24.640 and I think that is a better approach to play 587 00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:26.720 than the over under for his total yardage. 588 00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.920 Eagles run a lot of plays. They run a lot 589 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:31.680 of plays. I don't know what they are in the leg, 590 00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.759 but they were up somewhere around sixty plays per game 591 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.359 the last I looked, I just feel, you know, given 592 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:42.920 these weather conditions inside, it's gonna be perfect. I'm looking 593 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:45.240 for a big game from AJ Brown. I think the 594 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.839 prop on him in this is four and a half. 595 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.720 I'm taking the over at minus one sixty eight. That's 596 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.799 what I saw on FanDuel earlier today. I think I'm 597 00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.279 taking AJ Brown four and a half. I'm taking the 598 00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:01.240 over on that at minus one sixty eight. What about you, okay, 599 00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:02.079 I'm right with you. 600 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.880 Sixty nine and a half is the receiving yards I've 601 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.039 gone over. He's thirty to one to win MVP. I 602 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:09.720 always like to sprinkle a little bit on. 603 00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:10.720 Some of the long shots. 604 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.960 He's one of my long shots this year at thirty 605 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:16.160 to one, and there's a there's an escalator where you 606 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:18.359 can play him to go over one hundred and twenty 607 00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.279 five receiving yards. It's like seven to one. So at 608 00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:23.920 ten dollars, bet pays seventy bucks. I would play that 609 00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:28.200 as well. All right, Kansas City plays man coverage fifth 610 00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:30.039 most in the NFL top five. 611 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.400 That's how much they deploy man coverage. 612 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.400 No receiver in the NFL has recorded more receiving yards 613 00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:37.039 per game. 614 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.799 Against the band coverage than AJ Brown. 615 00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:40.440 Do you know one of the other guys who's great 616 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:41.559 against Dick Jamark Chase. 617 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:43.079 He's right at the top of the list. 618 00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.119 Chase has more touchdowns against the band coverage than anyone. 619 00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:49.960 Brown has more yards per game six touchdowns for him 620 00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.359 as well. I think the matchup suits him, and I 621 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.039 think Jalen Hurts as you watch him, it's going to 622 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.839 get him those opportunities where Hurts drops back. He doesn't 623 00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:59.480 like to throw over the middle of the field. He 624 00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.079 chucked it down the sideline at boom, there's a J 625 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:03.079 Brown to make a play. 626 00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:05.079 So I really like AJ Brown in this game. 627 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.839 The other one that's real popular is Dallas Goddards the 628 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.160 Philly tight end. Over four and a half perceptions, over 629 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.240 forty nine and a half receiving yards. The Chiefs get 630 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.039 decimated by opposing tight end. 631 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:18.680 No one's given up more yardage to opposing tight ends 632 00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:19.559 than Kansas City. 633 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.039 And on top of that, Hurts has looked at Goddard 634 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.079 more in the playoffs than any of his other receivers. 635 00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:27.519 So I understand that I'm looking for good things from 636 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:29.880 two different pass catchers, but I think those are the 637 00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.759 guys Hurts is gonna target, aj Brown and Dallas Goddard. 638 00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:37.039 I think both Hurts and Mahomes go over their their 639 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.440 total for passing yards. Hurts is one ninety six and 640 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:42.960 a half. The prop on him is two thirty one 641 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.400 or the projection I'm here, I'm sorry, is two thirty one. 642 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.279 Mahomes two forty eight is the prop. The projection is 643 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:54.440 two fifty five. They're both Hurts I think is minus 644 00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.359 one point fourteen if I'm not mistaken. Mahomes is minus 645 00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.759 one ten. I saw both of those on Bet three 646 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.920 six earlier today. I'm going over with both of them. 647 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:05.799 I know you're saying they're going to be it's going 648 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:09.319 to be a more methodical, sloggy game as opposed to 649 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.480 this wide open, you know, blow him out. But I 650 00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:13.519 still think at the end of the day, the other 651 00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.160 than Barkley, Hurts is the best guy they got on offense, 652 00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:19.359 and Mahomes makes everything go on offense for Kansas City. 653 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.799 So I'm going over. I'm going over with these passing 654 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.039 yard totals. What about you. 655 00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:26.559 We'll think about it like this Hurts his numbers really low, 656 00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:29.039 Like if he throws and he's also an underdog. 657 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.119 So if the game script is him trailing Kansas City, 658 00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:34.519 he's going to be throwing the ball, and he's got 659 00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:37.240 a low total, and he's got plenty of weapons around him, 660 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:38.720 and he's indoors on a fast track. 661 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:41.720 Yeah, situation sets up very nicely, So I got nothing 662 00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:45.279 wrong with that. I think one way to play Mahomes 663 00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.599 is I was looking at over completions. 664 00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.519 It was somewhere around twenty two and a half twenty 665 00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.759 one and a half. Here's why I like the completion. 666 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.880 Vic Fangio's Philadelphia defense. They play this too high shell, 667 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.920 this covered two that he kind of started going heavy 668 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:04.039 with a few years ago when he realized we got 669 00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.960 to stop giving up home runs to guys like Kyreek Hill. 670 00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.360 It's the copycat league. Everyone started copying it. 671 00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:10.920 It's why we. 672 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.559 Saw less scoring over the last few years and why 673 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:16.159 unders were hitting more frequently, because you don't have these 674 00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.760 offenses hitting home runs like they were because of. 675 00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:19.880 The two high safety look. 676 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.079 As a result, you can eat that two high safety 677 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:26.119 look up underneath dank and dunk, dank and dunk. 678 00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:27.960 It works very well against these guys. 679 00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:30.000 So the Eagles won't give up the home run, but 680 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.840 they will let you cut them up underneath. 681 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:33.679 Enter the completions prop. 682 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.840 I think Kansas City is going to struggle to run 683 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.000 the ball consistently in this game, and I don't think 684 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.840 the deep shots are going to work. So I think 685 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:42.159 an extension of their running game is going to be 686 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.280 the short passing game. I think it's just going to 687 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.239 be Mahomes three yards here, Mahomes five yards there, Mahomes 688 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.760 four yards there, as they work their way down the field. 689 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.400 Before you know it, you're over twenty two and a 690 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.760 half completions. So that's how I'm playing. Mahome. 691 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:57.320 Are you the richest man in broadcasting? Because you've got 692 00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.960 all this still down you live in Vegas. I'm just 693 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.840 wondering if you're the richest guy in broadcasting right now. 694 00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:06.199 Well, the thing about that is it all sounds so 695 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.280 good right before the game kicks off. Yeah, And then 696 00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:11.760 sometimes I spent two weeks and spent all this time, 697 00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:14.239 and you go into this game and it's the complete 698 00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:17.159 opposite game script of what you thought, and none of 699 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:20.000 your stuff head and you're just in shambles by the 700 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:21.320 end of the day. So I don't know. 701 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:22.480 We'll talk after. 702 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:22.880 The Super Bowl. 703 00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.199 Maybe I will be the richest man in broadcasting. 704 00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:28.119 You know, I love you. Joe Fortenball. You can see 705 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.599 him on ESPN most nice. I think around six or 706 00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:34.079 six thirty, and then of course on ESPN Radio on 707 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.400 the afternoon. Stay well, my friend, go go ahead. 708 00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:39.199 Oh no, I was gonna say. 709 00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:39.440 Yeah. 710 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:41.400 We move around a lot, but once football. 711 00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:44.519 Season ends, ESPN two, the show's ESPN BET Live. We're 712 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.719 six to seven pm Eastern, and we're pretty consistent throughout 713 00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:49.400 the non football season, so we got a lot of 714 00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:50.039 hoops going on. 715 00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.519 But I appreciate you promoting it as always. Ken, Thank 716 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.119 you so much. 717 00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:55.679 You stay well, my friend. We need to hear your voice. 718 00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.119 Okay, absolutely, thank you, Ken, Thank you Cincinnati, you guys. 719 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.199 It's my guy, Joe Partenbau. Yeah. I don't know if 720 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:06.920 it's going to be any of that's gonna come true, 721 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.800 but my guess is some of it will. We're twelve 722 00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.400 fifty five already on this Thursday afternoon. Think of the 723 00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:18.039 progress we have made as a society. Think of it 724 00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:21.920 since midnight. We're almost thirteen hours into this thing. Now, 725 00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:33.840 that's an accomplishment.

If it's not, you can see it far away. 735 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:09.119 We welcome you on in. Perhaps you're listening on the 736 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:12.920 iHeartRadio app and that is just dandy as well. The 737 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:18.920 sick society that is America, the American healthcare system is 738 00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.760 at of whack. It's another one of the targets of 739 00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:27.000 the Trump administration, how to get Americans healthier again. Now 740 00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:31.039 it comes with a catchy phrase, Maha, make American healthy again. 741 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:33.519 But okay, once you get by slogans and everything, what 742 00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:38.440 does it mean? RFK Junior will be the next Secretary 743 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:41.199 of Health and Human Services. It will happen. The last 744 00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:46.119 roadblock was Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, who's a doctor. 745 00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:50.880 He had problems with RFK Junior's position on vaccinations. But 746 00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:55.400 after he got I guess convinced that RFK was not 747 00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.119 the radical that he has been portrayed to be, he 748 00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.119 voted to get him out of committee. And now it 749 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:01.880 will go on to the full Senate, and the full 750 00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:06.719 Senate will confirm Kennedy as HHS Secretary. But it doesn't 751 00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.280 change for the moment, just how sick we are as 752 00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:15.039 a society. There is a former pharmaceutical consultant, food consultant, 753 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:21.639 and someonet of great repute inside the medical industry CALLI Means, 754 00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:25.239 who pointed out in an interview that I listened to 755 00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:29.159 a few months ago, and I wrote this down because 756 00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.320 it's so important. We are four percent of the world's population. 757 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:34.679 You me, everybody else in the United States, we are 758 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:39.280 four percent of the world's population. We produce seventy five 759 00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:45.079 percent of pharmaceutical profits. And in the world, of all 760 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:52.000 the countries that populate this world, we are sixtieth sixtieth 761 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:56.639 in life expectancy. And why is that a lot of 762 00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:59.360 people think it goes back to the late nineteen forties, 763 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:03.199 in the wake of World War two, antibiotics became very 764 00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:05.840 popular during the course of World War Two and then 765 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.880 for general consumption immediately after World War Two. They were 766 00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:12.320 considered to be drugs of panacea, that they could cure everything. 767 00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:17.159 And so we got into not preventing health problems, not 768 00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:22.599 curing health problems, but treating health problems, and suddenly everything 769 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:28.840 became a chronic illness. Today, ninety five percent of all 770 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:35.679 medical spending is spent on chronic conditions, conditions that, if diagnosed, 771 00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:39.960 you will have them for a lifetime. And of course 772 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.199 to treat chronic illness requires a lot of money, and 773 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:49.079 that's just what big medicine wants, a lot of your money. 774 00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.599 So this is what RFK Junior in a way wants to, 775 00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:56.159 if not fix, certainly get to a point where it 776 00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:59.760 is not as dire a situation as it is in 777 00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:02.000 this country. Everybody thinks, you pop a pill, hey, I'll 778 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:03.960 be fine. Well, it might keep you alive for another 779 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.840 six months, eight months, and then what happens, Well, you 780 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.519 got to find some more pills to take, maybe different pills. 781 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:10.679 Well what does that do, Well, it crosses this problem 782 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:12.599 over here. So let me get some pills for that, 783 00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.440 and all of a sudden, You're a walking Elvis Presley. 784 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:18.760 You're taking every single pill known to mankind? How do 785 00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:21.679 we get out of that? I turned for all health 786 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.920 matters to my good friend Todd Furnas. He has written 787 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:27.960 I think a definitive and actually a very short book 788 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.480 defining where we are as a country and where we 789 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.639 need to go. It's called the sixty Percent Solution, Rethinking Healthcare. 790 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.280 And I wanted to get Todd on the program because 791 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.719 I think by this time next week RFK will have 792 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:42.760 been confirmed. So, Todd Furnas, how are you on this 793 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:43.840 glorious Thursday. 794 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.559 I am doing, Danny Ken, Thanks for having me. 795 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:50.719 I'm glad you're here. Look, we'll see if RFK gets 796 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.000 confirmed by the Senate. He got through committee, and we'll 797 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.320 see what happens when he gets to the full Senate vote. 798 00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.199 But I think a lot of what he's been saying 799 00:40:58.280 --> 00:40:59.679 is a lot about what you and I have been 800 00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.440 talking about. I mean, it's just out there. We're a 801 00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:07.000 small fraction of the world's population. We produce all of 802 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:11.920 these pharmaceutical medicines, and we have untold profit for these 803 00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:15.000 pharmaceutical groups. And then when you drive right down to it, 804 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:19.559 the life expectancy of an American male or female is 805 00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.079 pretty poor when put up against the rest of the world. 806 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:23.280 So what's going on. 807 00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:28.679 Here, Well, a very big question. Let me start with 808 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:32.880 the intro around our kJ. I think he's going to 809 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.000 get confirmed based on the stuff that I'm seeing and hearing. 810 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.800 It was interesting because I know with certainty that a 811 00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:44.519 torrent of mothers called in to Senator to Cassie's office too, 812 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:49.039 shall we say, encourage him to vote in favor of denomination, 813 00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:49.760 which occurred. 814 00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:53.000 So that's thing number one. Thing number two is, yes, 815 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:53.559 we are. 816 00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:57.800 Paying disproportionately for the research, development, marketing, and sales of 817 00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:02.760 pharmaceutical drugs, which does then created a profit in the 818 00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:06.440 pharmaceutical companies, which neither you nor I would regredge them 819 00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:10.559 unless it means that the United States is paying more 820 00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:13.679 than anybody else by sometimes a factor of a ten 821 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:15.880 or one hundred or even a thousand, and that just 822 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.760 didn't write. So that's there's a fairness question there. And 823 00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.880 I don't know that we want to be using pharmaceuticals 824 00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.920 as an example of foreign aid, which is the fact 825 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.440 that what we're doing by subsidizing drug production here in 826 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:36.760 the United States through the FDA, and then through the markets, 827 00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:40.079 price the market prices here and then selling them cheaply 828 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.559 overseees that it's essentially a form of foreign aid. 829 00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:43.159 It's a way to pay. 830 00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.960 Way to think about it, I think that's a little 831 00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:48.239 misguided because it means that we don't keep around the ball. 832 00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:52.079 And then, lastly, with regard to life expectance, yes, we're 833 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.519 not doing a very good job. That goes back to 834 00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:59.119 another thing that our FKJ has advocated, which is cleaning 835 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:02.440 up our food support and getting that in order. Because 836 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:05.039 it's not just a question of do we have medicines, 837 00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.920 it's what causes what causes the need for medicine. It's 838 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:13.039 an illness for a chronic issue, and we have more chronic. 839 00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:14.119 Diseases than we know what to do with. 840 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:17.119 So we've got to solve these problems systemically. 841 00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:20.000 On that side of the equation. 842 00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:23.480 Yeah, we've got to get more towards curing disease as 843 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:26.360 opposed to treating it as a chronic disease. The history 844 00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:29.280 of this I goes back I guess goes back to 845 00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:34.440 when antibiotics first came into the public health forum, and 846 00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.639 that was when right after World War Two, and obviously 847 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.320 antibiotics can be used for a number of different things 848 00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:44.719 to treat something, but not necessarily cure something. When did 849 00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:46.679 we get out of the cure business, or get out 850 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:49.920 of the desire to cure business and into let's just 851 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:54.199 keep this patient on an endless stream of pharmaceuticals for 852 00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:56.039 the rest of his or her life life. 853 00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.639 And that's what that's been the case for the last 854 00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:02.320 thirty or forty years. 855 00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:04.039 But I want to kind of go back up a 856 00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:05.159 level to two things. 857 00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:08.079 First of all, you and I have talked about the 858 00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:11.280 infinite elasticity of capitalism, which is one of the things 859 00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:14.000 that attracts us to this create nation of ours. Well, 860 00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:17.000 the infinite elasticity of capitalism means that we're going to 861 00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:19.480 find more and more stuff to buy and sell, and 862 00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:22.320 that includes drugs. And so drugs are now going to 863 00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:27.239 smaller and smaller affected people in the marketplace and saying, hey, 864 00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.000 you need to get our drugs or else. 865 00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:30.199 This bad thing is going to happen. 866 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:33.559 So there's fear, uncertainty, and doubt advertised every single night 867 00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:37.519 on every TV show available. Then you get to the 868 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:40.679 next issue, which is we really shouldn't be curing diseases 869 00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:44.239 when we have an opportunity to prevent them altogether, and 870 00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:46.800 we really are out of the prevention business, and we 871 00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.199 really need to get back in the prevention business and 872 00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:54.039 engage our nation's people into the right kinds of activities 873 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.920 and foregoing the wrong kinds of activities so. 874 00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:58.199 We can be healthier for longer. 875 00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.079 If you go back to the fond memories of COVID 876 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:05.000 link link nudge, nudge, then you'll recall that we had 877 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:08.519 over seventy eight percent of the people who actually died 878 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.880 from COVID allegedly had co morbidities, and most of them 879 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:16.480 were seventy eight percent were obese. So let's talk about 880 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:20.800 heart disease, let's talk about obesity, and let's attack those 881 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.079 issues and see what we can need. 882 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.000 To prevent them altogether. 883 00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:26.480 Curing them is hard once they've gotten once they've manifested 884 00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:27.199 in your system. 885 00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:31.239 Yeah, I think that the whole thing about preventing illnesses 886 00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:34.519 goes back to culture. You mentioned lifestyle. I think it's 887 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.480 much difficult. This is just me, and anecdotally, maybe you 888 00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:41.039 feel differently. I think it's much more difficult to change 889 00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:43.719 a culture than it is to treat a problem that's 890 00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.840 causing that culture. It seems to me, if you want 891 00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:49.840 to move a human being from point A to point 892 00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:53.000 e B, that's a hell of a lot more difficult 893 00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:57.079 than just giving human being something that makes point A 894 00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.159 a little more tolerable. I think it's just the way 895 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:01.480 the human DNA is, don't you. 896 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:03.639 Oh, absolutely, And the problem is you have to an 897 00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:07.400 inertia issue that you have to deal with. But in 898 00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.480 the healthcare world, we have with something else that's problematic, 899 00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:14.280 which is getting the person on the other end, meaning 900 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:18.239 the patient, to actually care enough to go undertake the 901 00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:22.559 corrective actions, whether it's taking a medicine or changing their diet, 902 00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.480 or going out and getting some exercise, whatever it is. 903 00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:29.239 Getting them to engage in their own healthcare is a really, 904 00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:32.440 really significant challenge. I have friends who are chief medical 905 00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:36.039 officers for companies, and even if there's an economic benefit, 906 00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:41.199 it's manifested in their insurance programs, their benefits, they still 907 00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:44.599 are very, very recalctrant in terms of engaging the kinds 908 00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:46.639 of behaviors that are necessary to. 909 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:49.280 Change the culture of one in that instance. 910 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:51.280 So you can imagine if it's hard to change the 911 00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:54.639 culture of one, meaning one individual patient, imagine how difficult 912 00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:56.400 it is it's going to be to change the culture 913 00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:57.440 of three hundred and thirty million. 914 00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:02.119 Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you know and again you know, and 915 00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:05.440 I've talked about this before. Really, when you get into 916 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.119 the giant discussion about this, hey, you need to take 917 00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:10.039 our drug. As you mentioned, you watch I mean you 918 00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:12.519 watch cable television news any night and it's all the 919 00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:14.719 same thing. You don't take this drug, bad things are 920 00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:16.960 going to happen. To use your words, where are the 921 00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:19.480 doctors and all this, Why shouldn't the doctor come in 922 00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.440 and say, wait a minute, don't believe everything you see 923 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:23.000 on TV. 924 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:27.280 Well, doctors are complicit. I mean that's how they make 925 00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.519 their money. They get two ways of First of all, 926 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:32.840 as a patient when you go in to see the doctor, 927 00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:33.679 then you get paid. 928 00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:35.360 For the visit, the doctor get paid for the visit. 929 00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:40.320 And then secondly, oftentimes the case the doctor will get 930 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:42.199 paid for prescribing the meds. 931 00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:44.599 I mean, I go back to the COVID example. 932 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:48.199 I know of one specific insurance company where I saw 933 00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:52.320 the document myself where they were saying, if you the 934 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:56.440 primary care position, get seventy five percent of your panel, 935 00:47:56.559 --> 00:48:00.519 meaning the patients you serve vaccinated, you will give you 936 00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:04.800 a one hundred and seventy five dollars per patient bonus. 937 00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:08.719 That's privory. Yeah, the first degree. 938 00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:11.679 Well then it gets worse because the average. 939 00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:13.960 Panel size for a primary care potion is three thousand patients. 940 00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:15.239 Oh my god, holy cow. 941 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:16.760 Yeah, so we do the math. 942 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:19.280 Three thousand times one hundred and twenty five is more 943 00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:20.559 than just mere lunch money. 944 00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:26.480 Yeah, it isn't it's not lunch money. It's criminal. But again, 945 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:29.320 this is the never ending cycle of healthcare in this country. 946 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:33.480 Todd Furness, our guests, and we're talking about this report 947 00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:36.039 that just backs up what RFK Junior has been saying 948 00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:39.199 all along that we're just as a society, we're spending 949 00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:42.440 all this money on healthcare and we're just basically one 950 00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.360 of the sickest societies in the world. Look, I have 951 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.039 to ask you this because Donald Trump in office, I mean, 952 00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:51.320 my goodness, it's it's going on three weeks and his 953 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:53.639 I mean, he's just moving at break neck speed. And 954 00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:57.679 these tariffs that he's been threatening against Mexico and against 955 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:02.000 Canada that both both have backed off of, He's got 956 00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:04.159 another one he's thrown on China. Now we'll see. He 957 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:07.000 wants to impose a ten percent tariff on China imports. 958 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:10.159 Chinese imports. The fact of the matter is we get 959 00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:13.000 a lot of our pharmaceuticals from China. The fact of 960 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:18.280 the matter is APIs those active pharmaceutical ingredients. In the 961 00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:21.639 last ten years, it's just gone up, I mean increasingly 962 00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:24.360 for what we rely on China for. So I'm just 963 00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:27.480 wondering if indeed he goes ahead and imposes the tariff 964 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.719 and China comes back and imposes the terrif on us, 965 00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:33.320 it would lead one to think that the price of 966 00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:36.079 drugs are going to go up. Do you anticipate the 967 00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:37.280 price of drugs going up? 968 00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:39.079 Ken Brew? 969 00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:40.719 This is why I love talking to you, because you're 970 00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:42.840 the first guy that's talked about this, and I've it's 971 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.079 been burning a hole in my head since I heard 972 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:45.519 him talking. 973 00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:48.800 Per first mentioned it, and you're you're generally. 974 00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:52.159 The first radio host for journalists that I've heard speak 975 00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:55.000 about this issue. And it's critical because here's the other thing, 976 00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:58.440 the meagage that we don't that we don't get from China, 977 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:01.320 and guess where we get them? Yeah, and guess who 978 00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:07.320 supplies the APIs to India China. So it's worse than 979 00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:10.519 most people can even gain to believe, so we do 980 00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:13.800 have a problem. They're there, and I worry that if 981 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.400 if we really got got sideways with China, as we 982 00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:21.360 saw it again with some of the COVID issues, then 983 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.440 they might cut off our supply chain for those APIs 984 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:26.280 and then we'd have a real world hurt coming on. 985 00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:29.679 Yeah, I know, I know. One of the you know again, 986 00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.559 you know the thing about the president is he likes 987 00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:34.800 to make deals and he makes threats. The other side 988 00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:36.320 makes threats, and all of a sudden you come to 989 00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:38.360 a solution, and it might be one of the reasons 990 00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:40.840 why he's I mean, all these places he's interested in 991 00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:43.519 buying Canada, Greenland and places like that that are in 992 00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:46.760 Greenland's case, where you're rich in minerals. We'll see exactly 993 00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:48.400 whether or not that comes to pass. But I'm just 994 00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.440 I'm concerned about that because Number one, if these if 995 00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.519 these ingredients are coming from China, and we know that 996 00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:58.639 the major export of fentanyl comes from China. I'm just wondering, 997 00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:02.320 if the Chinese government really wanted to screw us, they 998 00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:04.719 could do a hell of a job just by screwing 999 00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:07.079 what these ingredients they send to us, couldn't. 1000 00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.480 They absolutely, and I think that's why this is characterized 1001 00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:14.360 in many venues as a national security issue, because we 1002 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:16.639 need to think about it differently. We need to have 1003 00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.159 markets where you have choice and you can go from 1004 00:51:20.199 --> 00:51:22.280 point A to point B or supplier ATA supplier B 1005 00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:27.760 without fear that if you turn one off that the 1006 00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:29.719 entire supply will be turned off. 1007 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:33.320 And that's what we have right now in my business. 1008 00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.480 We call this in the private equity business, we call 1009 00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:40.039 this a concentration risk. We have a concentration of supply 1010 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:44.079 coming out of China and pharmaceuticals right now, and so 1011 00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:45.840 we got to be worried about that, and we have 1012 00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:48.760 a you know, the concentration is worse because it's not 1013 00:51:48.840 --> 00:51:51.320 only China but also to India. So the challenge is 1014 00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:54.280 how do we change that concentration risk and have that 1015 00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:58.519 more distributed so that we can manage that better. And 1016 00:51:58.559 --> 00:52:00.639 that's good for everybody because it keeps prices down, that 1017 00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:04.599 keeps supplies up, and it increased competition in the marketplace, 1018 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:06.159 all the good stuff that we come to know and 1019 00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.239 love here in the United States. But if we don't 1020 00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:09.920 go focus on that, then we're going to have really 1021 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:11.000 really significant issues. 1022 00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:13.039 Look at the turf you and I just covered in 1023 00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:15.719 the last eleven minutes. I mean, we have a country 1024 00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:19.280 that's dependent on pharmaceuticals because we have a country that 1025 00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:22.360 has a medical system that wants to get you in 1026 00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:25.400 the chronic illness business as opposed to the cure business. 1027 00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:28.639 We don't have anybody that's really doing preventive medicine in 1028 00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:32.239 this country and now we're dependent on China and India 1029 00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.800 for us to stay in the chronic illness business. To me, 1030 00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.840 it's just it's insanity to the to the first degree. 1031 00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:41.400 But you know what, Todd, every one of these guys 1032 00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:43.559 in Washington, d C. I've said this before, I'll see 1033 00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:46.679 it again. Google everybody you've elected to the Senate and 1034 00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:49.440 to the House and see who's taken what kind of 1035 00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.000 money from big farm, and then you'll have an idea 1036 00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:54.079 of why it hasn't been solved here and why we've 1037 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:56.880 been so dependent on all of this for the last 1038 00:52:56.920 --> 00:53:01.039 forty to fifty years. I'm all, my sorry about that. 1039 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:04.159 You're the guest I shouldn't be preaching, and you need 1040 00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:06.239 to write another book for crying out loud. The sixty 1041 00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:09.880 percent solution rethinking healthcare is right now available on Amazon, 1042 00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:12.679 where all fine books are sold. Our guest, Todd front 1043 00:53:12.719 --> 00:53:14.840 is Todd. You stay well and you and I visit 1044 00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:15.400 down the road. 1045 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:17.639 Thanks, thanks so much for your time today. I appreciate it. 1046 00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:21.000 You bet, you bet. Think about that again. Four percent. 1047 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:25.639 We are four percent of the world's population. We produce 1048 00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:32.880 seventy five percent of pharmaceutical profits, and we are sixtieth 1049 00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:38.880 sixtieth out of every nation in life expectancy because ninety 1050 00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:43.639 five percent of medical spending today is on chronic conditions 1051 00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:51.960 as opposed to try and prevent these conditions. And that's why, again, 1052 00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:56.320 just going about business lays a fair Yeah, you just 1053 00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:58.599 keep going out there to Washington. You kept just doing 1054 00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:00.920 what you're doing. Here's some more money. Yeah, you guys 1055 00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:05.000 are doing a great job. That's the problem. And if 1056 00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:09.400 that gets anywhere near fixed between now and twenty twenty eight, 1057 00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.079 me and you and everybody else will be a hell 1058 00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:17.079 of a lot better. Why that can't get through of 1059 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:21.679 the ideologues in this country, and in particular in Washington, 1060 00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:26.280 Why that isn't evident? If you can convince me, have 1061 00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:30.639 at it. One twenty six News Radio seven hundred w WELW. 1062 00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:32.199 That's a great honor. 1063 00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:35.000 I think, you know, no matter who the president is, 1064 00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:40.039 I know I'm excited because, uh, it's the biggest game 1065 00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:40.960 of my life, you know. 1066 00:54:41.079 --> 00:54:43.159 And having the president there, I know, it's the best 1067 00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:44.840 country in the world, so I would be very cool. 1068 00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:53.000 He Hello, Wyet, I'm broadcasting. 1069 00:54:57.239 --> 00:54:59.360 Say do you believe that there's some people that are 1070 00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:03.159 upset that Travis Kelsey is excited about the president coming 1071 00:55:03.159 --> 00:55:04.199 to the super Bowl? 1072 00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.639 Nothing surprises me anymore? Ken Brew about what's going on? 1073 00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:09.719 Guy used to have on my show a lot. 1074 00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:13.000 Mike Freeman, who now writes for USA Today, wrote a 1075 00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:16.039 column a couple of days ago saying that that basically 1076 00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:20.360 Donald Trump was shatatizing all over the Super Bowl. And 1077 00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.840 I'm looking at this thing thinking, first of all, after 1078 00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:26.480 they show him once or twice, nobody's gonna give a 1079 00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:28.559 rats rear end about him. They're gonna be watching the game. 1080 00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:30.559 He's gonna he's gonna be sitting with the what the 1081 00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.679 Saints owner invited him? So, I mean, you know, president 1082 00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:37.000 goes to the super Bowl, he goes to the World Series. 1083 00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:39.519 I mean, you know, I mean, what what's you know? 1084 00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:41.920 It's it's because it's him, That's the thing. 1085 00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:44.440 That's it. And you know there's so much of this 1086 00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:47.039 Trump drain syndrome that's going on out there by the 1087 00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:51.000 Democrats and they populate, make no mistake about it. They 1088 00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:53.960 might have found their new haven in this blue Sky thing, 1089 00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:56.760 but they're still lurking around there on X ready to 1090 00:55:56.800 --> 00:56:00.000 pounce on anybody that says anything that's outside of their narrative. 1091 00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:03.039 And you know what, if I'm trying, if I'm Travis Kelsey, 1092 00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:05.320 you know what I tell him to do is stick 1093 00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:08.800 it somewhere where proctologists can't even find it, saying, yeah, 1094 00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:11.840 he probably would, you know, he probably would, yeah, knowing 1095 00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:14.559 m you know, everybody's all up and you know this 1096 00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:18.079 whole country is divided right now, Sick. And then you 1097 00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:20.639 got Taylor Swift.

Well it might be, but Brian geesenslaw. 1284 01:04:55.559 --> 01:04:58.239 But do you think I'll be attacked because it's Boston 1285 01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:01.400 Bruin's colors? You know, it's the old All the Stingers 1286 01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:03.880 did was take the Boston Bruins logo off the front 1287 01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:06.280 of it, slap their own on it. It's a great jersey. 1288 01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:08.880 I just don't want to be physically accosted enough. It's 1289 01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:09.320 not like. 1290 01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:11.639 Red, white and blue. It's it's black and yellow. 1291 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:14.159 It is it's black and yellow with the Stingers logo 1292 01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:14.800 on the front of it. 1293 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:18.880 Oh well, I don't you know that's a I mean 1294 01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:21.199 I would think that they wouldn't. I don't think anybody 1295 01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:22.320 would mess with you. 1296 01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:22.880 You don't think so. 1297 01:05:23.079 --> 01:05:23.639 I don't think so. 1298 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:26.360 I don't know. I'm a little skittish about all this. 1299 01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:29.360 I'm a little skittish. I'm going to Columbus to a 1300 01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:31.880 Blue Jackets game for the first time. I don't want 1301 01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:33.639 to get in there and then people are like like 1302 01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:36.960 throwing things at me, you know, like shoes and whatnot, skates, 1303 01:05:37.559 --> 01:05:40.679 maybe a puck. I don't want that. Okay, But you 1304 01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:41.440 think I'm all right. 1305 01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:44.400 I think you're okay, ken Brew all right, sick, all right, 1306 01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:45.280 I think you're okay. 1307 01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:46.239 I think they worry. 1308 01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:48.679 I think they'll worry about you know, fans being in 1309 01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:50.320 Ranger colors. That's who they're playing. 1310 01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:52.960 Well, see, the Rangers have the same colors as the 1311 01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:55.199 Blue Jackets, you know, they're they're red one. 1312 01:05:55.239 --> 01:05:56.920 I think you'll be I think you'll be okay. And 1313 01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:57.880 Stingers where. 1314 01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:00.559 So I may just I may they may not care 1315 01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:03.159 about me because there'll probably be some Rangers fans there, right, 1316 01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:05.440 I would think so, yes, But then again, the Stingers 1317 01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:08.440 colors are like the Bruins colors, and the Rangers' biggest 1318 01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:11.000 rival is the Bruins. You might have some Durans New 1319 01:06:11.079 --> 01:06:13.960 York fans, and imagine that drains the New York being using. 1320 01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:15.760 Just wear it and if they start giving you, you 1321 01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:18.440 know what, put your coat on, well. 1322 01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:20.679 That's that's true. I could just tuck it in and 1323 01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:22.960 put my uh and zip up my jacket. 1324 01:06:24.079 --> 01:06:27.199 There you go, all right, have fun. I'm gonna have 1325 01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:30.119 Fun'll be part of the fifth line on Saturday night. 1326 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:31.199 What's the fifth line? 1327 01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:33.880 That's the that's the crowd fifth line? 1328 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:35.639 Yeah? Oh, I should know? What else do I need 1329 01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:37.840 to know before I go watch them play? 1330 01:06:37.840 --> 01:06:42.480 Big Leo sings the uh national anthem? Big Leo, big Leo. 1331 01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:44.719 Who's the star of that team? I have no idea. 1332 01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.639 Zach Rwinsky A couple, yeah, and a couple other couple 1333 01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:51.480 and a couple other players are pretty good now. So 1334 01:06:51.519 --> 01:06:53.320 they got a good They finally got a good coach 1335 01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:56.400 and there a good general manager and they're turning things around. 1336 01:06:57.480 --> 01:06:58.440 Last time I checked. 1337 01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.679 There they're the there at the top of the last 1338 01:07:01.719 --> 01:07:03.079 team to get into the playoffs. 1339 01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:06.320 Okay, so wild card Rick Nash doesn't play for them anymore. 1340 01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:10.440 No, he's so he's in the front office off in Columbus. Yeah, 1341 01:07:10.559 --> 01:07:13.079 all stuff by and say hi, okay, there you go, all. 1342 01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:14.800 Right, sego, we need to get out of the Stooge 1343 01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:17.199 Report right now because I have I've got a guy 1344 01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:21.159 talking about Trump wanting to buy the Gaza Strip. We 1345 01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:23.599 got to talk about Trump buying the Gaza Strip and 1346 01:07:23.719 --> 01:07:25.760 wait for that place to look like Las Vegas.

Seg. 1368 01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:33.520 We were just talking with Seg about the The NFL 1369 01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:37.680 Awards are tonight. It's at nine and Joe Burrow is 1370 01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:41.319 making the rounds along Radio Road today in New Orleans, 1371 01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:45.680 and he doesn't expect to be MVP or Offensive Player 1372 01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:47.720 of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year simply because 1373 01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:51.319 he said, in his words, basically, your team has to 1374 01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:55.399 win to get that kind of honor. In fact, let 1375 01:08:55.399 --> 01:09:00.359 me give you the exact quote. He said, usually you 1376 01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.199 have to have a lot of team's success to be 1377 01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:07.079 considered for some of those awards. That was with an 1378 01:09:07.159 --> 01:09:10.439 interview with Adam Shine is he with CBS Sports. I 1379 01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:14.359 think he is the CBS Sports Radio Network. Anyway, That's 1380 01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.239 what he had to say. I think he's off on that. 1381 01:09:16.279 --> 01:09:18.000 I think he's going to be a comeback player of 1382 01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:20.399 the Year, might be the offensive Player of the Year, 1383 01:09:20.399 --> 01:09:22.920 although I think that probably would be Jamar Chase in 1384 01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:26.560 front of him. But the Hall of Fame voting is 1385 01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:31.000 also one of great interest, and we're looking for Willie 1386 01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:34.439 Anderson to get in. He would have to be the 1387 01:09:34.479 --> 01:09:38.159 top offensive lineman under consideration. I know Marshall Yanda is 1388 01:09:38.199 --> 01:09:41.239 on that list as well, but there's not another lineman 1389 01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.880 really that is more deserving from a statistical standpoint than 1390 01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:48.439 Willy Anderson. Anyway, the odds on him making the Hall 1391 01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:52.960 of Fame, apparently tonight, apparently is twenty five percent highest 1392 01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:56.319 among all offensive linemen. Antonio Gates is a lock. Luke 1393 01:09:56.399 --> 01:09:58.840 Kinkley' is a lock. The Eli Manning is a lock. 1394 01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:02.319 We'll see how it old pans out. That's at nine 1395 01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:07.600 o'clock tonight. Meanwhile, in Washington, former UC coach Tommy Tubberville 1396 01:10:07.640 --> 01:10:12.600 has introduced a bill. Yes, he introduced it on Wednesday. Yesterday, 1397 01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:17.600 He along with Republican Senator Tim Shee, he introduced the 1398 01:10:17.880 --> 01:10:22.640 Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act to stop the double tax 1399 01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:28.600 on Social Security benefits. Tubleville said seniors worked the majority 1400 01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:32.039 of their adult lives so they can spend their retirement comfortably. 1401 01:10:32.720 --> 01:10:36.199 So no more double tax. From a man who once 1402 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:43.840 famously said at Knippert Stadium. 1403 01:10:41.359 --> 01:10:47.079 I ll get a job, get it job. 1404 01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:50.359 So if you had a job and you paid into 1405 01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:54.640 Social Security, why go to hell? Which would be double 1406 01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:57.920 tax on it. We'll see how far it gets. It's 1407 01:10:57.960 --> 01:11:00.920 two o'clock. It's time for the news News seven hundred 1408 01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:08.079 WLW all right back on the big one two eight 1409 01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:10.760 the average American and for the great American on this Thursday. 1410 01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:13.640 Great to have you with us. I don't say that capriciously, 1411 01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:16.239 because if you were not with us right now, I 1412 01:11:16.279 --> 01:11:19.079 would I would merely be one man sitting in a 1413 01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:23.479 room by himself, babbling incoherently. And why would I have 1414 01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:27.520 to leave home to do that? So I again, you know, 1415 01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:32.079 I listened to our newscasts and this whole thing about 1416 01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:36.399 government buyouts for people. You know, Washington isn't a tissy 1417 01:11:36.800 --> 01:11:41.600 on this right now. Because Donald Trump wants to cut 1418 01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:43.920 the fat out of the federal government, and so he's 1419 01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:48.000 offered these buyouts with a deadline of tonight for employees 1420 01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:51.359 to take it, and so far only I think it's 1421 01:11:51.399 --> 01:11:56.239 two percent, only two percent of the civilian federal workforce 1422 01:11:56.279 --> 01:11:58.760 has taken them up on the offer. Well, now here 1423 01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:02.880 come the unions, the American Federation of Government Employees, the 1424 01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:06.680 National Association of Government Employees, and the American Federation of State, 1425 01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:12.039 County and Municipal Employees, representing about eight hundred thousand there 1426 01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:14.800 Now they have now gone out looking for a judge 1427 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:17.439 that would take this on. So they went judge shopping basically, 1428 01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:21.800 and they landed in, of all places, stand by for It, Massachusetts, 1429 01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:28.199 and that's where they found the Honorable George A. O'Toole, Junior, 1430 01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:33.039 who was appointed to that particular bench by stand by 1431 01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:39.359 for It Bill Clinton. So that's what goes on in 1432 01:12:39.399 --> 01:12:42.680 these cases. We'll see there's apparently now a Monday deadline 1433 01:12:42.720 --> 01:12:45.520 and there will be arguments on both sides, the government, 1434 01:12:46.119 --> 01:12:49.560 the lawyers representing the federal employees. Number one, if you're 1435 01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:53.439 a federal employee, why would you take a buyout right now? 1436 01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:57.760 Because it's a cake job. You work for the federal government. 1437 01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:00.920 It's a cake job. There's so many protect for you, Okay, 1438 01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:02.720 So Trump's going to cut down the fat, that's what 1439 01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:05.039 he wants to do, and maybe there is some fact 1440 01:13:05.119 --> 01:13:08.479 to be cut. But if you're a valued employee, if 1441 01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:11.840 you're someone who does a meaningful task, why would you worry. 1442 01:13:12.159 --> 01:13:15.279 Apparently only two percent of the population of the workforce 1443 01:13:15.319 --> 01:13:18.000 in the federal government is worried about it, So that's 1444 01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:23.920 number one. Number two. If everybody is so convinced that 1445 01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:29.319 Washington d c Is so efficient with the way it runs, 1446 01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:36.680 why then would there be all of this panic on 1447 01:13:36.760 --> 01:13:40.600 the side of the left. It doesn't make any sense. 1448 01:13:40.920 --> 01:13:45.359 Somebody is there's money somewhere being exchanged on this, and 1449 01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:47.439 I think that's what Trump down deep is trying to 1450 01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:50.079 figure out where it's coming from and where it's going. 1451 01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:53.279 But if you're a government employee and you've been on 1452 01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:56.279 the job for any length of time, and you're a 1453 01:13:56.359 --> 01:13:59.159 valued employee and what you do is necessary to run 1454 01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:02.119 this country, then and I don't think you have anything 1455 01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:04.880 to worry about. But if you're not well, then you 1456 01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:09.720 have something to worry about. And quite frankly, if you're 1457 01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:12.359 not you should be asking yourself the same question, why 1458 01:14:12.399 --> 01:14:17.279 am I here? If I'm not someone the government absolutely needs. 1459 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:21.199 So anyway, this thing is now delayed until Monday. My 1460 01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:23.239 guess is there will be arguments on both sides and 1461 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:26.039 it'll get kicked up to a higher court. But we'll 1462 01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:28.840 see where it goes. Could even go to the Supreme 1463 01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:35.800 Court might be a possibility. But there just seems to 1464 01:14:35.840 --> 01:14:39.119 be a whole lot of fear in Washington over Donald Trump, 1465 01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:42.319 and the left doesn't know how to react. And that's 1466 01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:46.920 why you see those asidine scenes of the left and 1467 01:14:47.239 --> 01:14:51.520 Chuck Schumer and Maxine Water is yelling and screaming, We're 1468 01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:54.079 gonna win, win, win, We're not gonna know the dose 1469 01:14:54.119 --> 01:14:55.840 and all that. It's like, if you have nothing to 1470 01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:58.439 be worried about, why are behaving that way? What are 1471 01:14:58.439 --> 01:15:04.359 you hiding? So we'll see Trump is a sli as 1472 01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:08.680 a fox. He's dropping four or five political bombshells a day, 1473 01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:12.119 and the left doesn't know where to go to put 1474 01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:16.760 out these alleged fires like this one. He just casually 1475 01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:23.359 droped with Benjamin Nett, yahoo Prime Minister of Israel in 1476 01:15:23.399 --> 01:15:26.960 the White House two days ago, that you know, we're 1477 01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:30.800 gonna buy Gaza, We're gonna buy the Gaza strip and 1478 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.119 we're gonna try. It's gonna be big. It's gonna be huge, 1479 01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:35.560 and all of a sudden people are just are going crazy. 1480 01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:38.920 What do you mean he's gonna buy Gaza? Do we 1481 01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:41.920 want our tax dollars bought over there? Do you want 1482 01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:43.680 to own Gaza? I don't want any of my tax 1483 01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:46.760 dollars going to Gaza or to buy Gaza place is 1484 01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:49.640 a mess. It's going to take trillions of dollars to 1485 01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:53.439 rebuild that. But nevertheless, that's what he wants to do. 1486 01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.800 And maybe slies a fox. There's a deal in the 1487 01:15:56.880 --> 01:15:59.720 deal where somebody else comes in and does that work 1488 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:03.159 for us? I don't know somebody that might have standing 1489 01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:08.600 by to join us live. Doctor Ossif Romerowski is the 1490 01:16:08.640 --> 01:16:12.680 executive director of an organization called the Scholars for Peace 1491 01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:16.600 in the Middle East SPME. He is a Middle East historian, 1492 01:16:16.840 --> 01:16:19.920 holds a PhD in Middle East in Mediterranean Studies from 1493 01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:23.359 King's College that would be in the UK, and has 1494 01:16:23.439 --> 01:16:27.399 published a number of things widely various aspects of the 1495 01:16:27.439 --> 01:16:31.279 Arab Israeli conflict and American's foreign policy in the Middle East. 1496 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:33.880 And his is a voice I think we need to 1497 01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:36.640 hear on this because I'm not quite convinced just by 1498 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:39.279 seeing some of the things that he's written that he 1499 01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:42.439 thinks this is a good idea. Nevertheless, let's find out 1500 01:16:42.439 --> 01:16:46.560 for sure. Here he is, doctor Ossif Romerowski. Doctor, how 1501 01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:48.119 are you on this glorious Thursday. 1502 01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:50.199 Wonderful? Thank you for having me. 1503 01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:53.000 I'm glad you're here because I think when Donald Trump, 1504 01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:55.159 President of the United States, said a couple of days 1505 01:16:55.199 --> 01:16:58.600 ago that the US would take over Gaza, remove Debried tunnels, 1506 01:16:58.880 --> 01:17:01.079 take out all the explosion, the device that we're there, 1507 01:17:01.119 --> 01:17:03.960 and basically turn it into it seemed like in his 1508 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:06.720 mind some sort of resort area. Uh. Not only was 1509 01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:09.279 I caught guard by that, but I was looking at 1510 01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:13.239 the expression on the face of Benjamin Netanyahu. Would he 1511 01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:15.920 looks surprised too? Were you surprised when the President said that? 1512 01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:21.399 Well, I mean, I think it's very very Trump, you know, 1513 01:17:21.479 --> 01:17:22.800 and fits his personality. 1514 01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:24.079 I think that Trump, in. 1515 01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:28.760 His own mind would like to bring a cessation, you know, 1516 01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:30.640 an end to it, to violence, and bring the end 1517 01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:32.760 of the war and see where it goes. I think 1518 01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:34.680 that he has been you know, we've we've been hearing 1519 01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:39.560 comments over the past week or so about transferring of 1520 01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:43.239 populations One other idea that was floated around was the 1521 01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:45.199 idea of Albania and Tanzania. 1522 01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:48.359 You know, I think that those are all a lot 1523 01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:49.319 of wishful thinking. 1524 01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:52.760 It's not a it's not unheard of that the idea 1525 01:17:52.800 --> 01:17:56.039 that you know, again from a an actual security and 1526 01:17:56.039 --> 01:18:01.079 and a logistical standpoint, Israel cannot afford to live with 1527 01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:05.079 the current situation and Hamas being their neighbors. So they've 1528 01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:09.239 built for twenty years this network of terror tunnels and 1529 01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:12.399 somebody needs to cleanse that in order to rebuild Gozom 1530 01:18:12.640 --> 01:18:16.720 now moving out the population one point eight population out 1531 01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:21.039 of Gozom. It's clearly not simple when you talk about 1532 01:18:21.159 --> 01:18:24.359 the you know, the kind of the conversation regarding the 1533 01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:27.840 communities or the countries that would be amenable to that 1534 01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:30.439 or should be amenable to that. When we talk about 1535 01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:34.079 Jordanians and Egyptians, Gazms are. 1536 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:37.560 Historically, ideologically, culturally, politically Egyptians. 1537 01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:41.239 But let me remind you and your listeners that when 1538 01:18:41.399 --> 01:18:45.159 under the Body and Administration there was conversation about when 1539 01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:49.039 it came to RAFA about having free having safe zones 1540 01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:52.600 in the Egyptian side. The Egyptians of course bulked at 1541 01:18:52.640 --> 01:18:55.880 all of this, and the Egyptians have been somewhat complicit 1542 01:18:56.399 --> 01:18:59.920 through the tunnel system as far as the oxygen that 1543 01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:04.319 allowed to come into Gaza through the tunnels, the funds 1544 01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:07.520 come outs and whatnot, so to catch twenty two. But 1545 01:19:08.600 --> 01:19:11.479 I think that all of this relates to my mind, 1546 01:19:11.479 --> 01:19:14.840 and I think that this is part of the somewhat 1547 01:19:14.920 --> 01:19:19.399 state craft that Donald Trump puts out there, as far 1548 01:19:19.439 --> 01:19:21.960 as carrots and sticks, as far as trying to shake 1549 01:19:22.079 --> 01:19:25.600 up the narrative, as far as what was traditionally done 1550 01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:27.800 and what can be done in order. 1551 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:30.039 To start a conversation that is different. I think it 1552 01:19:30.079 --> 01:19:31.640 also signals to the. 1553 01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:35.680 Our world and the our Palestinians in particular that there 1554 01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:38.960 is a new sheriff in town. I'm saying they're going 1555 01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:41.199 to be done differently, but at this point we have 1556 01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:44.640 not seen any details, so where there's a lot of 1557 01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:47.319 guessing at this point, and so what he actually means 1558 01:19:47.359 --> 01:19:47.760 by that. 1559 01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:50.600 Well, not just that area of the world. The world 1560 01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:54.319 seems to be a better place when there is a 1561 01:19:54.359 --> 01:19:58.000 strong United States, and unfortunately over the last four years 1562 01:19:58.000 --> 01:20:01.279 we haven't had that mentioned. The new sheriff in town, 1563 01:20:01.319 --> 01:20:03.640 and I agree with that. I mean, he's not on 1564 01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:06.079 the job three weeks and all of a sudden, you know, 1565 01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:09.680 he's talking about something that is absolutely out of the box. 1566 01:20:09.760 --> 01:20:12.359 No one had ever thought about before. And you know, 1567 01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:14.880 quite frankly, the last four years, I'm not sure what 1568 01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:18.800 we did but build some aborted dock that was going 1569 01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:21.800 to lead into the Gaza Strip that, if I'm not mistaken, sunk. 1570 01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:25.920 So the stronger the United States is, the less volatile 1571 01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:29.319 the world is. Would you agree, well, one hundred percent. 1572 01:20:29.399 --> 01:20:31.319 And I think that what we have lost over the 1573 01:20:31.359 --> 01:20:34.039 past four years, and I would actually go back to 1574 01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:37.079 the Obama administration from my vantage point to my way 1575 01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:40.479 of thinking, that we have lost the sense of deterrence. 1576 01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:45.319 There's been a policy of appeasement and attempts through what 1577 01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:50.439 the Obama slags Biden policy makers have come up with 1578 01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:54.840 as far as realignment, those kind of policies have backfired. 1579 01:20:55.560 --> 01:20:59.319 And going back to the current situation, the head of 1580 01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:01.680 the HYDRA is the Islamic Republic of Iran. 1581 01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:04.239 This has been the multi front war with Iran. 1582 01:21:04.680 --> 01:21:07.680 Under the Biden administration, they have been able to release 1583 01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:11.359 sanctions in the tone of one hundred and forty billion dollars. 1584 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:15.039 And so now that we are re entering once again 1585 01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:19.159 maximum pressure regarding sanctions on Iran and the change in 1586 01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:22.079 the world. There needs to be a re establishment of 1587 01:21:22.119 --> 01:21:26.079 American deterrent and clear red lines. And Israel's war, the 1588 01:21:26.119 --> 01:21:28.880 fact of the matter is also America's war. The enemies 1589 01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.960 of Israel's fighting is also American enemy. And so to 1590 01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:34.640 your point, the stronger we are, the stronger we stand 1591 01:21:34.640 --> 01:21:37.760 by our allies, the better we are off in the 1592 01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:39.039 world public states. 1593 01:21:39.319 --> 01:21:41.760 But there were people that live there. They might have 1594 01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:45.960 been the sworn enemy of Israel. But the fact of 1595 01:21:46.000 --> 01:21:47.760 the matter is there were people that lived there and 1596 01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:50.520 nobody wanted them. Egypt did not want them. There was 1597 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:53.680 no country in that region that one of the Palestinians. 1598 01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:58.279 When this became an all out war shortly after October seven, 1599 01:21:58.359 --> 01:22:01.600 a couple of years ago, what are those people? Where 1600 01:22:01.600 --> 01:22:03.439 do they go? Because you think they're going to stand 1601 01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:05.680 by Idaly and watch Donald Trump come in with some 1602 01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:08.279 construction company and build a bunch of high rises on 1603 01:22:08.319 --> 01:22:10.359 the Mediterranean Sea. 1604 01:22:10.600 --> 01:22:12.560 Well, I don't think that that's going to happen. But 1605 01:22:12.640 --> 01:22:13.319 let's be clear. 1606 01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:16.239 Obviously, the origins of this conflict are been in over 1607 01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:21.479 seven decades and the existence of Arab Palestinian refugees is 1608 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:25.920 a byproduct of Arab policies that happened, you know, in 1609 01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.159 forties forty in the forties, and the argument back then 1610 01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:33.560 during Israel's War of Independence forty eight forty nine was 1611 01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:36.840 and the message that I'm paraphrasing here, they told the 1612 01:22:36.880 --> 01:22:40.880 inhabitants of the area, the Arabs leave once we eradicate 1613 01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:44.520 design identity to their narrative quote, then you could come 1614 01:22:44.560 --> 01:22:48.119 back to your area. When that did not happen, they know, 1615 01:22:48.199 --> 01:22:52.479 this so called refugee probably came about and day by 1616 01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:57.319 design refused, they meaning the Arab world, Jordan and Egypt, 1617 01:22:57.319 --> 01:23:02.119 the Rock Syria to take them in at citizens. 1618 01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:04.920 To keep them in a stateless spasis in orders. 1619 01:23:04.680 --> 01:23:08.439 For them to remind the world and the democratic Western 1620 01:23:08.479 --> 01:23:13.680 world that these so called refugees are a result of 1621 01:23:14.079 --> 01:23:17.800 Israeli in Western aggression. And so that has been a 1622 01:23:17.880 --> 01:23:21.880 calculated narrative but they've created in order to create the 1623 01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:26.000 story that's been going on for seven plus decades. And 1624 01:23:26.039 --> 01:23:29.079 in addition to that, which is more nefarious, you have 1625 01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:32.239 a UN agency known as UNRUM, which has been the 1626 01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:36.760 gate keeper of those very refugees, and they're the ones 1627 01:23:37.039 --> 01:23:39.399 post ten to seven, as we all saw, have been 1628 01:23:39.520 --> 01:23:41.840 complicit with Amas. 1629 01:23:42.239 --> 01:23:43.159 They are come us. 1630 01:23:43.239 --> 01:23:46.520 Yeah, and you know you mentioned just a few minutes 1631 01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:49.600 ago Hamas only exists in its form because of Iran. 1632 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:51.800 I mean, the real head of this whole thing is Iran. 1633 01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:56.000 And Iran has been allowed to run away unfettered over 1634 01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:58.600 the course of the last certainly the last four years, 1635 01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:01.399 but eight of the last twelve years. And I guess, 1636 01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:04.319 I guess the question to someone who is less schooled 1637 01:24:04.399 --> 01:24:07.800 in these kinds of issues than I am, my question 1638 01:24:07.880 --> 01:24:10.840 to you would be, how do these then two people 1639 01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:13.760 exist side by side. We know what it has looked 1640 01:24:13.800 --> 01:24:18.079 like over the last forty years, but it would kind 1641 01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:22.079 of be like the United States bordering Russia. I mean, 1642 01:24:22.159 --> 01:24:24.560 we know what that would be like. This is kind 1643 01:24:24.560 --> 01:24:27.800 of the same way. So let's just say that this 1644 01:24:27.920 --> 01:24:30.800 is nothing more than a way for Donald Trump to 1645 01:24:30.840 --> 01:24:33.680 get everybody on the same page, in the same room 1646 01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:36.239 and say, look, this nonsense is going to stop, and 1647 01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:40.640 it's going to stop. Now, how does it go forward 1648 01:24:40.680 --> 01:24:44.560 with anything that would be something that would be absolutely 1649 01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:48.399 without question acceptable to Israel. Let's not forget was attacked 1650 01:24:49.159 --> 01:24:52.279 on October seventh in twenty twenty three, How do we 1651 01:24:52.319 --> 01:24:56.399 go back to these two countries, if indeed it is 1652 01:24:56.640 --> 01:25:00.680 wherever the Palestinians go and Israel living in some sort 1653 01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:03.000 of closeness in this world, how does it go back 1654 01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:03.199 to that? 1655 01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:07.840 Look, that's the age old question and it's been going 1656 01:25:07.880 --> 01:25:10.079 on for plus seven plus decades. As far as the 1657 01:25:10.119 --> 01:25:13.680 oregon of the you know, the Israeli Palestinian dynamic, the 1658 01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:16.920 difference is that the Arab world has changed, you know, 1659 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.279 as a result of what Trump did in the last administration, 1660 01:25:20.399 --> 01:25:24.199 we've seen normalized ties with Israel and other Arab countries. 1661 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:25.399 That's all very positive. 1662 01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:29.720 The Israeli Palestinian dynamic is in particular a unique case study. 1663 01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:33.159 And to your actual point, which is you know, very 1664 01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:36.359 well taken, Israel can't afford to live with Hamas. If 1665 01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:40.840 Hamas was the objective of the eradication of Tamas was 1666 01:25:40.880 --> 01:25:43.359 the goal of ten to seven is still the goal, 1667 01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:48.239 and of course releasing the hostages and so inn Islamist 1668 01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:52.479 terrorist organization where Israel lives through a modern day Holocaust, 1669 01:25:52.760 --> 01:25:56.720 and for the past fifteen months, it's unacceptable. 1670 01:25:56.039 --> 01:25:56.920 In a non starter. 1671 01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:02.239 So the number one step really is to disentangled whatever 1672 01:26:02.319 --> 01:26:06.279 one can from the civilian population, such as it is 1673 01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:09.840 from Ramas, and that's step number one. And unless you 1674 01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:12.560 do that, you're here. You're still going to be creating. 1675 01:26:12.600 --> 01:26:14.920 And look if you look at the environment today and 1676 01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:17.840 how the theater of the release of the hosckyges, where 1677 01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:21.239 Hamas feels empowered and they see it as a victory. 1678 01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:23.760 If Hamak comes out of the tunnels and the day 1679 01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:27.560 after tomorrow's scenario and they are alive and well, is 1680 01:26:27.640 --> 01:26:29.880 Eripe has failed and so of we. 1681 01:26:30.439 --> 01:26:33.239 And so the point is that to begin the conversation 1682 01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:36.840 about any of this is also defining the population and 1683 01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:40.880 eradicating from us, you know, devastating lake Israel has done 1684 01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:41.640 with Hazabella. 1685 01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:44.039 And so these are all part of the first challenges. 1686 01:26:44.079 --> 01:26:46.920 And then the bigger question is going to lead to 1687 01:26:47.680 --> 01:26:50.039 You have a very weak, pales stinting author. You have 1688 01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:54.680 an octagenarian leader Mahmouda Bases in his eighties serving you know, 1689 01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:58.600 serving his twentieth year of a four year term. And 1690 01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:00.840 the question is really who's and you know, who are 1691 01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:02.079 actually you dealing with? 1692 01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:03.880 So with Trump. 1693 01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:08.000 Trying to change the calculus of this equation and trying 1694 01:27:08.039 --> 01:27:11.840 to say I'm offering carrots, I'm offering six and you know, 1695 01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:15.119 basically implying that there's going to be money to rebuild 1696 01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:17.680 gods and how it all looks like. There also has 1697 01:27:17.720 --> 01:27:20.439 to be a definition and an understanding of who your 1698 01:27:20.479 --> 01:27:24.920 partners are. To date, Israel has no partner to negotiate with, 1699 01:27:25.479 --> 01:27:28.800 and especially highlighted the fact that i'mas is still over 1700 01:27:28.840 --> 01:27:32.880 the border. So that's step one before anything. Let's you know, 1701 01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:36.039 there has not been really negotiations around any kind of 1702 01:27:36.439 --> 01:27:40.720 negotiating table for years, and let's not forget that to 1703 01:27:40.760 --> 01:27:44.840 get to ten seven, it took Hamas twenty years to 1704 01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:47.880 build that Terrior tunnel infrastructure. So they've been playing the 1705 01:27:47.960 --> 01:27:51.439 long game, funded by the Iranians. And so those are 1706 01:27:51.479 --> 01:27:54.199 all the challenges that we need to tackle. 1707 01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:58.319 Yeah, doctor asofrom A Rescue, our guests, we're talking about 1708 01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:00.920 the Middle East. We're talking about Donald Trump, who wants 1709 01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:05.079 to basically take over the Gaza strip. Doctor Romanowski. Romerowski 1710 01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:07.479 is the executive director of Scholars for Peace in the 1711 01:28:07.479 --> 01:28:12.039 Middle East. You said, you you really hit an interesting point, 1712 01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:15.039 and I think spot on a couple of minutes ago. 1713 01:28:15.520 --> 01:28:20.960 How do you separate the everyday people that lived in Gaza, 1714 01:28:22.039 --> 01:28:26.359 many of which were taken hostage either physically or philosophically 1715 01:28:26.520 --> 01:28:31.560 by Hamas. How do you separate them from Hamas and 1716 01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:35.720 then eradicate Hamas? You know, everybody you said, well, the 1717 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:39.439 idf net Yahou just should have finished finished it off. 1718 01:28:39.680 --> 01:28:42.399 He was hampered, of course by Biden. Biden wouldn't give 1719 01:28:42.439 --> 01:28:44.880 him what he needed. But how do you how do 1720 01:28:44.920 --> 01:28:48.279 you do that? How do you separate the people that 1721 01:28:48.319 --> 01:28:51.520 are intent in causing terror and destruction in that part 1722 01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:54.119 of the world from the everyday people, many of whom 1723 01:28:54.399 --> 01:28:57.039 just want to walk around and live their lives. How's 1724 01:28:57.119 --> 01:28:57.920 that accomplished? 1725 01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:01.720 So that's the challenge, and that's the question of who 1726 01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:06.000 that entity is going to be to deal with. I mean, look, 1727 01:29:06.840 --> 01:29:10.239 the reason we're able to devastate Hamas, and I would 1728 01:29:10.239 --> 01:29:12.840 say that Gaza is pretty much, you know, you know, 1729 01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:16.479 close to you know, we're on the five yard line 1730 01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:19.520 as far as you know, eighty five percent of Hamas 1731 01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:24.000 being devastated. But that's because of human intel that the 1732 01:29:24.079 --> 01:29:26.760 Israelis have given up, you know, back in two thousand 1733 01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:29.359 and five when they left Gas up to begin with, 1734 01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:32.199 and now they're you know, re establishing you know, again 1735 01:29:32.359 --> 01:29:35.920 intel human intel as well as other kind of cyber 1736 01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:38.880 intelligence and whatnot. You have to deal with the leadership 1737 01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:41.479 and its proxies all around, and then you have to 1738 01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:44.520 deal with the population, and that's going to require a 1739 01:29:44.600 --> 01:29:48.319 significant amount of a you know, going through a series 1740 01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:53.279 of background checks and affiliations and whatnot. Hamas, you know, 1741 01:29:53.760 --> 01:29:56.800 the Hamaths, like many of these system as groups, and 1742 01:29:56.920 --> 01:29:59.960 this is the biggest challenge as an entire charwer of 1743 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:03.279 will Wing. They do meals on wheels, they do they 1744 01:30:03.279 --> 01:30:06.479 do social services and whatnot, and so from the perspective 1745 01:30:06.600 --> 01:30:12.960 because of Palestinian authority, it's so weak Tamasa's attractiveness to 1746 01:30:13.199 --> 01:30:16.880 Palestinian society and gaza that it's still devoid. And so 1747 01:30:17.159 --> 01:30:22.439 they have a difficult time, you know, disengaging themselves from Hamas, 1748 01:30:22.640 --> 01:30:23.880 who has been taking care of them. 1749 01:30:23.880 --> 01:30:25.680 But Hamas has also been abusing them. 1750 01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:28.479 They've they've been taking their homes away, they've been trying 1751 01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:32.119 they've been taking the foods and services and stealing them 1752 01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:35.520 at highway robbery and selling them back to the Palestinian population. 1753 01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:39.600 So for the population to start trusting any entity that's 1754 01:30:39.680 --> 01:30:43.279 part of the entity that is yet to be created, 1755 01:30:43.720 --> 01:30:48.039 to start creating, you know, a division between Hamas Allegiance 1756 01:30:48.159 --> 01:30:51.319 and Hamas members and other inflummist groups that are part 1757 01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:56.479 of Gazam, and you know, trying to maintain the integrity 1758 01:30:57.039 --> 01:31:00.720 of a civilian population that needs to be re educated 1759 01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:03.359 and you know, and to talk about, you know, what 1760 01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.319 are the building blocks of trying to change the narrative 1761 01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:12.640 that they've been taught for years and decades that Israel 1762 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.279 has no right to exist and the Jews are sons 1763 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:17.439 of pigs and monkeys. 1764 01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:19.640 That entire narrative needs to shift. 1765 01:31:19.640 --> 01:31:22.039 And that's the same narrative that they feel about the 1766 01:31:22.039 --> 01:31:22.880 West at large. 1767 01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:26.479 Yeah, you're absolutely right. This is a cultural thing. It's 1768 01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:28.840 not going to be settled by somebody going and look, 1769 01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:32.880 who knows what comes of what the President said. I 1770 01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:35.680 admire him for thinking outside the box and certainly the 1771 01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:40.159 way he's dealt internationally with Mexico and Canada on tariffs. 1772 01:31:40.199 --> 01:31:41.800 We'll see what he does with China. But I think 1773 01:31:41.840 --> 01:31:44.560 this is something that is going to require a lot 1774 01:31:44.640 --> 01:31:47.319 of time on task because, as you said, this has 1775 01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:49.840 been going on since the late forties. This isn't some 1776 01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:52.159 phenomena that has occurred in the last couple of years, 1777 01:31:52.760 --> 01:31:55.279 doctor Romeo Rawski, How can we find you?

And even though the Chiefs 1890 01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:12.359 have only a clips thirty, I believe once this season. 1891 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:16.199 I just think the Chiefs are more diverse. They'll figure 1892 01:37:16.199 --> 01:37:18.359 out a way not to let Barkley beat them. I'm 1893 01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:20.960 looking at Kansas City.

We don't know. 1923 01:38:38.000 --> 01:38:40.720 They had twenty two million last year. They lost seven 1924 01:38:40.760 --> 01:38:42.600 million in athletic department this year. 1925 01:38:42.640 --> 01:38:44.000 I'm just saying, I don't find it. 1926 01:38:44.119 --> 01:38:48.199 Don't worry somehow Red's pitchers and catchers reports a spring 1927 01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:51.159 training camp on Monday, Ken Brew, don't be late. 1928 01:38:51.520 --> 01:38:54.760 I'm not you know what. Yeah, they're picked to finish 1929 01:38:54.760 --> 01:38:56.720 dead last in the division this year. Did you see that? 1930 01:38:56.840 --> 01:38:56.880 No? 1931 01:38:57.039 --> 01:38:59.760 Bye bout by a bunch of people. I don't think 1932 01:38:59.800 --> 01:39:00.560 that's gonna happen. 1933 01:39:00.600 --> 01:39:03.279 One of them said that the Reds pitching stands come 1934 01:39:04.680 --> 01:39:05.399 runs this year. 1935 01:39:05.439 --> 01:39:08.920 I'll take that. Where's fan duel or whatever, I don't 1936 01:39:08.920 --> 01:39:09.399 know what it is. 1937 01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:12.399 You look though, at the standings right that that that 1938 01:39:12.439 --> 01:39:14.479 they had there. They're all kind of bunched up. Every 1939 01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:16.920 team in that division. I mean, I think there's only 1940 01:39:16.920 --> 01:39:19.640 six or seven games separating Glass from first. So my 1941 01:39:19.760 --> 01:39:20.439 theory is. 1942 01:39:20.399 --> 01:39:22.000 I think it's going to be close all year long. 1943 01:39:22.119 --> 01:39:25.079 If that's the case, then come trade deadline time, we'll 1944 01:39:25.119 --> 01:39:28.840 know how much the Reds front office, in particular their ownership, 1945 01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:32.960 wants to win, because if they're that close by deadline time, 1946 01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:35.039 you got to go out and spend money and get 1947 01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:37.079 a bat. If they don't do that, then that tells 1948 01:39:37.079 --> 01:39:37.600 you a lot too. 1949 01:39:38.920 --> 01:39:39.479 Good point. 1950 01:39:40.039 --> 01:39:41.159 Anybody disagree with me? 1951 01:39:41.680 --> 01:39:42.199 Not at all? 1952 01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:45.399 No, Okay, former red z out feelers big swings can 1953 01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:46.399 let's go. 1954 01:39:46.760 --> 01:39:48.520 Bengals need to make some big swings too. 1955 01:39:48.880 --> 01:39:52.000 Absolutely, trade up in the in the draft, do something, 1956 01:39:52.039 --> 01:39:52.960 do something different. 1957 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:55.720 Hey, let me ask, Let me ask both of you guys. 1958 01:39:55.760 --> 01:39:58.439 You ever heard this song before this one? 1959 01:39:59.319 --> 01:39:59.520 Oh? 1960 01:39:59.640 --> 01:40:01.840 Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

A man 1964 01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:11.560 by the name of William Bruce Rose. They call him 1965 01:40:11.600 --> 01:40:15.920 Axel Rose. And today Axel Rose turned sixty three years old. 1966 01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:17.159 How about that?

Are they another farewell tour? 1971 01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:31.960 And whenever they do that? But he he joined them 1972 01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:32.880 like ten years and will. 1973 01:40:32.720 --> 01:40:34.760 Tell you what when they came to Paul Brown Stadium 1974 01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:37.760 in twenty fifteen, Ken Brew and my dad went to it. 1975 01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:40.520 It was right there in front of the stage.

Actually, I don't think he's playing this. 1978 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:46.439 I don't think he's playing this song that Mike Kid. 1979 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:48.640 That might come as a shock to the rest of 1980 01:40:48.680 --> 01:40:50.279 the group, but he is their lead singer. 1981 01:40:50.359 --> 01:40:52.239 I was gonna say, I didn't think I was gonna 1982 01:40:52.279 --> 01:40:54.119 I thought it was a trick question. I assumed it 1983 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:55.760 was Slash that was playing the guitar. 1984 01:40:56.199 --> 01:40:58.520 In fact, it is Slash. The words come out sometime, 1985 01:40:58.760 --> 01:41:00.920 you know, rock and you just can't grab him back. 1986 01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:04.159 But it is.

Seg who you're banking on? 1992 01:41:17.760 --> 01:41:20.279 Yeah, I hoping big Willie does too, but I don't know. 1993 01:41:20.520 --> 01:41:22.720 He is the highest. He has the best odds of 1994 01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:26.800 any lineman going in according to the North Carolina Betting Association. 1995 01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:31.800 We gambling is big in North Carolina. But he's a 1996 01:41:31.880 --> 01:41:34.359 twenty five percent to get in. But I agree with you, 1997 01:41:34.439 --> 01:41:35.560 Rock Kinkley gets in. 1998 01:41:35.920 --> 01:41:38.199 Gets in.
