Speaker 1: Here we go back on the Big one, seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW twelve ten Dan Carrolyn for the great American Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 1: We live in historic times. Not only is it approaching
Speaker 1: one hundred degrees here in the tri State, we've got
Speaker 1: news cycles spinning just like It's like I said long
Speaker 1: ago that Trump is a whirling dervish of news cycles,
Speaker 1: of news items of things that we talk about here
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW and other talk radio shows across
Speaker 1: the country. And that is happening right now more than
Speaker 1: almost any other time that I can think of. I've
Speaker 1: pretty much assembled my national security team to inform and
Speaker 1: enlighten everyone.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna in the two o'clock hour, we'll talk with
Speaker 1: my buddy Tom King, a great constitutional lawyer. Will we
Speaker 1: find out if Trump is actually on solid constitutional footing
Speaker 1: if you want to believe what not all the Democrats,
Speaker 1: surprisingly but many of the Democrats are saying that Trump
Speaker 1: is acting unconstitutionally. Tom King will be here to break
Speaker 1: that down. My buddy d W. Wilber, who was undercover
Speaker 1: for the CIA back in the day in the Middle
Speaker 1: East in other places around the world, still has many
Speaker 1: contacts throughout the Middle East. He'll be here to break
Speaker 1: down the strategy of the strategy, strategy of it all
Speaker 1: easy for me to say. In between, we've got Representative
Speaker 1: Adam Byrd and there's some marijuana legislation that may be
Speaker 1: passed today. We'll talk about that. But leading things off,
Speaker 1: I can't think of a better person to lead off
Speaker 1: today than the online opinion editor of the Washington Times,
Speaker 1: host of the Bold and Blunt podcast. She is an
Speaker 1: author of multiple books. And Cheryl Chumley, who's a friend
Speaker 1: of the show, a friend of the station. Cheryl, it
Speaker 1: has fallen to your capable shoulders to get this show
Speaker 1: off to a great start today. Are you prepared?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Happy?
Speaker 5: Bomb?
Speaker 1: Iran daz right that.
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you.
Speaker 6: Dan.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. You saw President Trump this morning. I mean he
Speaker 1: was hot as a match. But I look at that, Cheryl,
Speaker 1: and I think to myself, and I honestly have not
Speaker 1: had time to watch the reaction from the CNNs and
Speaker 1: the MSNBC's or George Stephanopolis or anyone like that, but
Speaker 1: they will look at this, and I can't help but
Speaker 1: think they're going to want to create a huge rift
Speaker 1: between Trump and net and Yahoo and all our other
Speaker 1: allies that Trump is as mad as can be. But
Speaker 1: then he gets on the plane and says, hey, the
Speaker 1: sea's fire is going to happen. So this is I
Speaker 1: think a great lesson in the way that Trump deals
Speaker 1: with things. He knows how the sausage is made. He
Speaker 1: is not afraid to when he's not happy with something
Speaker 1: to call that out. And I think in the long
Speaker 1: run that winds up paying dividends for him.
Speaker 4: What say you, yeah, it does.
Speaker 7: It shows his very human side, right, you know?
Speaker 4: To me?
Speaker 7: And I was actually when he dropped that F bomb,
Speaker 7: and in the after effect, the media reporting sort of
Speaker 7: made me laugh because they termed it as Trump displays frustration,
Speaker 7: and I was thinking, well, that was a little bit
Speaker 7: more than frustration.
Speaker 8: But you're right, he.
Speaker 7: Comes around and he's you know, he's calm, and he's
Speaker 7: cooler head in terms of his leadership, and I think
Speaker 7: he has been working hard to strike this peace deal,
Speaker 7: which really we all know how peace would the radical
Speaker 7: Islamis go, right, they promise peace, they vow peace, and
Speaker 7: then they turn around and they don't honor their peace
Speaker 7: agreements anyhow. But at the same time, Trump has been
Speaker 7: working hard toward this, and I think he you know,
Speaker 7: he was just displaying.
Speaker 4: His human side for a few seconds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes to the Democrat Party, you can
Speaker 1: almost set a watch by them because they're so predictable
Speaker 1: and the things they are going to do. And a
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats are upset that they didn't get the
Speaker 1: opportunity to leak to their favorite news outlet or social
Speaker 1: media influencer about Operation Midnight Hammer. They're complaining they should
Speaker 1: have been brief ahead of time. So let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, Cheryl, what type of wise counsel do you
Speaker 1: think Trump would have received from the likes of Ocasio
Speaker 1: Cortes or maybe Jasmine Crocker or Jerry Nadler. What about
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff or the Chinese spy honeytrap lover Eric Swallows.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Eric Swallwell, what kind of sage advice could
Speaker 1: the Trumpster have received from this list of characters?
Speaker 7: I think you just nailed it in what you were
Speaker 7: saying that Trump did not go through Democrat leadership and
Speaker 7: widely broadcast his intended strikes because he knows exactly what
Speaker 7: Democrats would have done. They would have run roughshot over
Speaker 7: him politically and used that as a way to drum
Speaker 7: up that he's a warmonger, he's breaking campaign promises, and
Speaker 7: to pressure pressure, pressure.
Speaker 4: Him to back off helping Israel.
Speaker 7: And I think the fact that Trump was able to
Speaker 7: enact these strikes without lee to the media just shows
Speaker 7: the people that he has surrounded himself with this time.
Speaker 4: They are top notch.
Speaker 7: And you know, he hasn't broken any constitutional laws, he
Speaker 7: hasn't broken any War Powers Act. But you can see
Speaker 7: how Democrats are just so furious and in its dizzy
Speaker 7: trying to label him with some impeachable offense once again.
Speaker 4: But it's not going to stick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean for them, it is never America first.
Speaker 1: But when you look at again the political side of this,
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks, we've seen Trump and he
Speaker 1: has managed to He's managed to get Democrats to go
Speaker 1: on record as standing with illegal aliens, convicted criminals, drug dealers, murderers,
Speaker 1: child sex traffickers and the like. He's now induced a
Speaker 1: number of hard left Trump hating Democrats to publicly declare
Speaker 1: their sympathies to the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran.
Speaker 1: And so from a political standpoint, this to me borders
Speaker 1: on genius. If not more than that.
Speaker 7: It is, and I think the American people see through
Speaker 7: the desperation of the few Democrats who are out there. Uh,
Speaker 7: Alexandria Casio Cortez perfect example, right, she couldn't get very quick.
Speaker 1: Impeach, We got it, impeach her and Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 2: There's such parents.
Speaker 4: They just keep parody in the same bullet points.
Speaker 7: And I thought it was I thought it was a
Speaker 7: tremendous response that Trump put on truth social directed right
Speaker 7: at Alexandria Ocasio Cortes, calling out her ignorance and so forth,
Speaker 7: and more of that is needed. But I don't think
Speaker 7: the American people are on board with these far leftists
Speaker 7: and these radicals who who just think that Trump waged
Speaker 7: erroneously into defending.
Speaker 4: Israel with these with these attacks.
Speaker 7: Because I happen to be one of those conservatives who
Speaker 7: are on board completely with the America's assault on the
Speaker 7: nuclear sites in Iran.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about that for a second. My buddy
Speaker 1: Jim faff from the Conservative Caucus texted earlier or put
Speaker 1: on his exccount earlier today that if you think this
Speaker 1: is a leg the dog relationship with Israel, you are
Speaker 1: quite incorrect. And that was I think one of the
Speaker 1: narratives that the left was trying to spend that beating
Speaker 1: Netan Yahoo was the one that manipulated Trump into this
Speaker 1: position instead of the other way around. And I think
Speaker 1: what we witnessed this morning puts an end to that notion,
Speaker 1: don't you.
Speaker 7: I do. And I actually think that this was just
Speaker 7: it was the perfect circumstances in time to directly attack Iran,
Speaker 7: both from Israel's standpoint because they have a strong leader
Speaker 7: in the White House, and from the White House to
Speaker 7: standpoint because we have Republican domination in Congress and we
Speaker 7: have a strong will of the people to support Israel
Speaker 7: and support.
Speaker 4: All things Trump.
Speaker 7: And it bothers me when I see some some notable
Speaker 7: Republicans and conservative figures, ones who I have respected over
Speaker 7: the years, decry Trump's entry into this military assault and
Speaker 7: talk about him as if he's a warmonger and call
Speaker 7: it a preemptive strike on the part of Israel against Iran.
Speaker 7: I was just doing research before our discussion, Dan, And
Speaker 7: you know, back in twenty twenty three March twenty twenty three,
Speaker 7: then Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin went before the Senate Armed
Speaker 7: Services Committee and told those senators that Iran has directly
Speaker 7: attacked US soldiers eighty three times between January twenty twenty
Speaker 7: one and when he made that when he was in
Speaker 7: that hearing, so eighty three times I ran directly attacked
Speaker 7: American troops. And that's from the Democrat. So to say
Speaker 7: that this is preemptive, that America has no standing in
Speaker 7: this game, that we have no right to attack Iran, well,
Speaker 7: it's defensive on our part.
Speaker 4: It's not preemptive. It's defensive.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Democrats even concern themselves with the fact
Speaker 1: that the Internet exists. That video exists, and it goes
Speaker 1: back several years. And when I was getting ready for
Speaker 1: this interview today, I was thinking, maybe I'll roll some
Speaker 1: audio of Obama talking about when he ordered an airstrike
Speaker 1: in Libya, or maybe an airstrike in Pakistan, or maybe
Speaker 1: Yemen or so maliars a rack in twenty fourteen, in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen, all these places, all these
Speaker 1: things saying almost exactly word for word what Trump had said.
Speaker 1: And I don't recall all the handwringing, all the constitutional
Speaker 1: crisis narratives, you know, all this, you know needs to
Speaker 1: be impeached talk on either side of the aisle when
Speaker 1: Obama was doing this kind of stuff. So it really
Speaker 1: boils down to I think just Trump arrangement syndrome and
Speaker 1: the dislike and if I may use a strong word,
Speaker 1: hatred for Donald Trump compared to other men who have
Speaker 1: been in the White House.
Speaker 7: And wasn't Barack Obama the president that used a drone
Speaker 7: to murder an American citizens overseas?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 4: I mean, let's not forget that.
Speaker 1: Lad was every day he'd get up and look at
Speaker 1: his kill list and say, yeah, I hit this, this,
Speaker 1: this what the drone strike? And where was the constitutional
Speaker 1: authority for that?
Speaker 4: Exactly? And it is it's completely anti Trump.
Speaker 7: But really on this matter, right, uh, John Fetterman is
Speaker 7: actually rising above his Democrat party.
Speaker 4: To prove that he is, uh, you know, worthy of
Speaker 4: his position. I wasn't a big Fetterman.
Speaker 7: Fan, but when when he was running his campaign, but
Speaker 7: now that he's in office, his stance and his statements
Speaker 7: on Israel and America and uh, waging a war against
Speaker 7: Iran the terrorists, he's really proving a himself to be
Speaker 7: a good Democrat senator, someone you can actually have a
Speaker 7: common sense discussion with and the fact that the Democrat
Speaker 7: Party chance even distance themselves from radical Islamic terrorists.
Speaker 4: To support America just shows how far off kilter this
Speaker 4: party is from America's wishes.
Speaker 1: Well, And that goes back to I think the standard
Speaker 1: Democrat playbook is that they are incapable of recognizing fact.
Speaker 1: They're incapable of recognizing truth and acknowledging truth in these
Speaker 1: issues and what is in the best interest of America,
Speaker 1: because as I have said for many years now, the
Speaker 1: agenda trumps everything. The agenda, their agenda is more important
Speaker 1: than anything else, and if you're not on board with that,
Speaker 1: then you are a persona non grad And that's why
Speaker 1: I think Fetterman is an interesting case in his case,
Speaker 1: because he's got at least the convictions of his own thoughts,
Speaker 1: in his own mind to to speak truth when he
Speaker 1: can see it plainly.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 7: You know, throughout history, Marxists have aligned themselves with the
Speaker 7: radical element of the Muslim faith right, the radical Islamic terrorists,
Speaker 7: they've aligned themselves, and if you look at what's taking
Speaker 7: place now in the Democrat Party, it's essentially become infiltrated
Speaker 7: by Marxist ideologies. So In that sense, it does make
Speaker 7: logical reasoning why the Democrats are reluctant to stand by
Speaker 7: Donald Trump as he tries to eradicate the radical Islamis
Speaker 7: in Iran. So you know, it's just another case of
Speaker 7: the Marxist and the Democrat Party trying to work.
Speaker 4: With the far leftist forces of the world, the ones
Speaker 4: that are anti American.
Speaker 1: Do you find it rich that Elizabeth Warren was saying
Speaker 1: Tromp acted unconstitutionally and she was very concerned about lives
Speaker 1: that might be lost because of the actions of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: while she's standing behind a podium that reads planned parenthood.
Speaker 1: Do you find that slightly ironic at all?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Isn't that Elizabeth Warren is sort of the gift that
Speaker 7: keeps on giving for conservative pundons.
Speaker 4: Right, I mean, every day there's some faith.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Cheryl Chumley of The Washington Times. Before I let
Speaker 1: you go, another story that broke this week, just yesterday,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, that has been put way, way,
Speaker 1: way on the back burner because of the current news cycle.
Speaker 1: Sixty kids found in Florida during the largest rescue effort
Speaker 1: in US history. The Florida Attorney General came out and
Speaker 1: made this announcement that this is an operation I believe
Speaker 1: Dragon and I was the name of the operation, and
Speaker 1: it's been going on for weeks now, and these kids
Speaker 1: were rescued from some of the most horrendous circumstances you
Speaker 1: can possibly imagine. It's just the beginning I think of
Speaker 1: starting down this road. But I think this is something
Speaker 1: that really should be more of a front burner issue.
Speaker 1: And have we not had the circumstances that we have
Speaker 1: that we were just talking about. I think I certainly
Speaker 1: hope that a story like this would be a bigger writem.
Speaker 2: In the news.
Speaker 7: I agree totally, And it's really just a drop in
Speaker 7: the bucket to you know, the thousands of missing kids that.
Speaker 4: We heard about under the Joe Biden administration. So hopefully
Speaker 4: more to come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hopefully we'll see it more headlines like that,
Speaker 1: and maybe when all this settles down, this particular story
Speaker 1: will get more of the attention that it certainly deserves.
Speaker 1: Cheryl Chumley as always great having you on the time
Speaker 1: always flies right by, but your insight on this you
Speaker 1: have fulfilled. You have fulfilled your mission in an outstanding
Speaker 1: way this morning, and I thank you for that, and
Speaker 1: I certainly wish you all the best and you know,
Speaker 1: continue to success with all the books you're writing and
Speaker 1: everything else.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Dan talkson all.
Speaker 1: Right, Yes we will Cheryl Chumley from the Washington Times,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate her being here. Up next, we'll speak
Speaker 1: with Adam Bird about marijuana laws here in Ohio, and
Speaker 1: then we will continue on between now at three o'clock
Speaker 1: with more conversation about what is happening with Israel and
Speaker 1: Iran and Trump and all the rest of it. As
Speaker 1: we fill in for Bill Cunningham today, Dan Carolyn for
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW twelve
Speaker 1: thirty nine, Dan Carolyn for the great American Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 1: Great conversation with Cheryl Chumley in the first half hour.
Speaker 1: I want to thank her for being here as always,
Speaker 1: just fantastic. Now we switch gears a little bit and
Speaker 1: back in November of twenty three, Ohio became the twenty
Speaker 1: fourth state to legalize adult use cannabis, fifty seven percent
Speaker 1: of voters voting in favor of issue known as the
Speaker 1: Act to Control and Regulate Adult Use Cannabis and now
Speaker 1: state Republicans here in Ohio may pass a plan to
Speaker 1: pass marijuana restrictions by the end of June. Joining us
Speaker 1: now is State Rep. Adam Bird and State Rep. Aden Bird.
Speaker 1: Great to have you on the show again. How are
Speaker 1: you today? How's everything on Columbus, Dan?
Speaker 5: Dan, it's budget season and we've got a very active week.
Speaker 5: We'll go on reset starting in July. But we've got
Speaker 5: a very hefty lift in front of us on the
Speaker 5: budget and we have a House pass version, we have
Speaker 5: a centate pass version, and we've got to rectifive the
Speaker 5: eight hundred and fifty points of difference between the two chambers,
Speaker 5: and we've got to get that done by tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Eft of difference.
Speaker 9: Correct.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot. The staff's going to be
Speaker 1: working overtime.
Speaker 5: We've got a lot to do, and we've got constitutionally,
Speaker 5: we have a deadline to get that done by the
Speaker 5: end of June, and so but we're going in reality,
Speaker 5: we're going to try to get that done by tomorrow.
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 1: To have Ohio Republicans worked on the marijuana issue today, Dan.
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of work on this over the
Speaker 5: last couple of months, but then it passed a version
Speaker 5: called Center Bill fifty six. It's over in the House
Speaker 5: right now, and we were tentatively scheduled to vote on
Speaker 5: some changes to the Senate version today, but that has
Speaker 5: in the last twelve hours fallen apart a little bit.
Speaker 5: But I can still go through the bill with you
Speaker 5: and talk about the issues that are in contention between
Speaker 5: different versions of the bill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask it, because, look, the
Speaker 1: marijuana law is really an issue that I don't have
Speaker 1: a dog in this fight, because personally, I can't remember
Speaker 1: the last time I even saw adobie or a joint
Speaker 1: or anything having to do with marijuana. I don't use
Speaker 1: it myself rec relation, creationally or medicinally. So my thought
Speaker 1: on this has always been if if adults who want
Speaker 1: to make that decision to use marijuana do it in
Speaker 1: a responsible way, then I don't I don't see that
Speaker 1: as any skin off of my nose. If they want
Speaker 1: to pay their harder money and pay the taxes that
Speaker 1: go along with it and everything else, by all means
Speaker 1: I say, I say, do your own thing, just don't
Speaker 1: inflict any harm on anyone else, and certainly, by all means,
Speaker 1: leave the kids out of it. But when when where
Speaker 1: was Adam Bird on the on the initial UH marijuana
Speaker 1: law that that passed here in Ohio.
Speaker 5: I voted No one issue too, and I wasn't in
Speaker 5: favor of that, but obviously the voter spoke and it's
Speaker 5: in law right now. And and so I think it's
Speaker 5: it's really important though for us as legislators to to
Speaker 5: pass some things, uh, some regulations around that we're not
Speaker 5: trying to take away with the voters socided, but we
Speaker 5: have we we do think that it's sensible to pass
Speaker 5: some regulations that protect adult use, that protect our children,
Speaker 5: that uh, that limit public use of it, that that
Speaker 5: protect a tax structure and and uh. And that's that's
Speaker 5: a lot of what's in the build. There's also something
Speaker 5: in the build Dan about hemp use in the hemp industry,
Speaker 5: which wasn't part of issue too, but it is a
Speaker 5: growing industry uh in America, and we were trying to
Speaker 5: bring bring some regulations to all of those. And so
Speaker 5: that's that's kind of where we're at right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some of the arguments that I've heard on this,
Speaker 1: and Scott Sloan talks about this. You may have been
Speaker 1: on the Scottslane talk show talking about this in the past.
Speaker 1: But I've heard a lot of people make the arguments
Speaker 1: that this is a bait and switch sort of thing
Speaker 1: where you got, you know, all these people to vote
Speaker 1: in favor of this, and then along come those power
Speaker 1: hungry Republicans and they want to take the reins on
Speaker 1: this and and sort of micromanage every you know, every
Speaker 1: issue that goes along with the with the marijuana laws.
Speaker 5: Well, I would disagree with that, Dan, and I know
Speaker 5: that there are people who want to believe that lie.
Speaker 5: But it's a come incumbent upon the legislature to bring
Speaker 5: about some rational regulations, some sensible regulations. Now, we're not
Speaker 5: trying to take away from the people's ability to utilize
Speaker 5: the products that they've purchased on their own property. And
Speaker 5: that's so this bill, Centable fifty six would allow private
Speaker 5: citizens to utilize that product's purchase, but it has to
Speaker 5: be at a licensed dispensary. There's limited youth sharing on
Speaker 5: private residential property. It also gives the Division of Cannabis
Speaker 5: Control necessary authority to regulate marijuana, and so there has
Speaker 5: to be some regulation around us because we want to
Speaker 5: protect our children from public smoking and intoxication. We want
Speaker 5: to prohibit our children from advertisements to target them. We
Speaker 5: want to protect our children from ads that are within
Speaker 5: five hundred feet of school and churches. And we also
Speaker 5: want to protect our children from ads targeted toward them
Speaker 5: and or packaging attracted to our children. So there's some
Speaker 5: really important and common sense things that the law needs
Speaker 5: to weigh in on, and issue too did not.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if this marijuana reform package does not get
Speaker 1: done today or by the end of June, what happens then,
Speaker 1: is it? Do you tell me what happens after that?
Speaker 5: Absolutely? Well, let me tell you first why this broke
Speaker 5: down a little bit. Dan, there were a lot of
Speaker 5: people that was interested in keeping thirty six percent of
Speaker 5: the revenue generated from marijuana tax to the host community,
Speaker 5: and I think there was enough people that wanted that
Speaker 5: if that would not have inhibited the bill. The bill
Speaker 5: continues to exist in that version where local communities keep
Speaker 5: thirty six percent of the tax generated by its sale.
Speaker 5: The part where this has broken down is on the
Speaker 5: issue of him, and the governor is very concerned with this.
Speaker 5: The Senate version was very concerned with him, and this
Speaker 5: is a growing sale area and there's very limited regulation
Speaker 5: around it, and so very concerned that that there are
Speaker 5: there are people out there that are selling him products
Speaker 5: to people under the age of twenty one, and they're
Speaker 5: being sold at smoke shops, gas stations, et cetera. And
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter whether the hemp comes in some kind
Speaker 5: of a gummy or whether it comes in a drinkable product. Uh,
Speaker 5: it's it's important that we regulate that. And I think
Speaker 5: that's where this bill has broken down. Because the governor
Speaker 5: wants us to deal with him. We've got others in
Speaker 5: our and in the House, among House Republicans that don't
Speaker 5: want to hurt the hemp industry, the mom and pop shops,
Speaker 5: the other groups that at home that are a part
Speaker 5: of this, and so the bill has broken down over
Speaker 5: the issue of regulating hemp and how to do that.
Speaker 5: I think that I think everyone agreed that there needs
Speaker 5: to be some regulation around hemp and and the drinkable
Speaker 5: canabon cabin aloid products and you know, wanting them to
Speaker 5: wanting trying to decide whether we should be able to
Speaker 5: sell them at Kroger's, whether they can be sold at
Speaker 5: bars and restaurants, and so all of that issue too
Speaker 5: with silent on Dan on the issue of hemp. The
Speaker 5: governor wants us to deal with it, and there's a
Speaker 5: disagreement with the House right now on how to deal
Speaker 5: with a myriad of of of issues that are surrounding
Speaker 5: this new this new industry that's prop popping up all
Speaker 5: over the place, and we definitely want to protect our kids,
Speaker 5: but at this point we're not going to deal with
Speaker 5: it until we come back in September.
Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff like this is why I could never be
Speaker 1: in the legislature. I simply would not have the patience
Speaker 1: for sitting around talking about this kind of stuff all
Speaker 1: the time. Let me ask you about this. Here's another
Speaker 1: story that jumped out at me, and this has to
Speaker 1: do with Ohio State Senator Andrew Brenner, who was talking
Speaker 1: about some of the death threats that have been made
Speaker 1: to him. He talked about how he's been swatted a
Speaker 1: couple of times, talked about how there was a letter
Speaker 1: with some I guess white powder that showed up in
Speaker 1: his office, that there were death threats that were specifically
Speaker 1: directed against him, and all this in light of what
Speaker 1: happened in Minnesota just a couple of weeks ago. They're
Speaker 1: in Columbus. Do you have briefings on this sort of thing?
Speaker 1: I mean this, you know, when you see something happen
Speaker 1: to you know, you got state wallmakers in Minnesota get
Speaker 1: gunned down in their own home. The other couple was
Speaker 1: shot nine times and eight times. I mean, this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff has got to hit close to home for you.
Speaker 1: Is this something that you get briefed on? Or personal
Speaker 1: security is something that you know you have conversations about
Speaker 1: there in Columbus on a regular.
Speaker 5: Well obviously, obviously I don't want to get to specific, Dama.
Speaker 5: Some things need to remain confidential, but we do receive
Speaker 5: updates and security briefings from time to time. And and yes,
Speaker 5: is there is there a threat sometimes to a variety
Speaker 5: of public office holders? Of course there are And and
Speaker 5: I would say that the security at the state House, UH,
Speaker 5: security for state representatives and state senators back home has
Speaker 5: been beefed up a little bit without getting into uh
Speaker 5: too much specifics there. And of course, those who have
Speaker 5: done the kinds of things that Senator Brenner has talked about,
Speaker 5: whether it's swatting, whether it's powder in a in a
Speaker 5: in an envelope, those things you will be found they
Speaker 5: will find you, they will come after you, and you
Speaker 5: will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 5: So they're not going to mess around with the public
Speaker 5: safety of electeds. And that's that's not just state representatives
Speaker 5: and and governors, it's it's also you're county elected leaders.
Speaker 5: We want to make sure that people in a wide
Speaker 5: variety of elected offices feel protected and and the public
Speaker 5: can go out there and protest, they can write you
Speaker 5: angry emails, they can call you and be upset about something,
Speaker 5: but no one should be out there threatening the safety
Speaker 5: of elected officials. They're they're trying to do a job.
Speaker 5: They've been hired for a job. That we live in
Speaker 5: a constitutional republic and those people are in those positions
Speaker 5: to make decisions. And if you want your voice to
Speaker 5: be heard, there's a way to do that in a
Speaker 5: very effective way, and threats is obviously not one of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to me that a lot of times
Speaker 1: fingers get pointed in one direction or the other, and
Speaker 1: when that when that happens, it's sort of I think
Speaker 1: takes away from the importance of how serious these issues
Speaker 1: can be. And I don't know that it really helps
Speaker 1: anything when you just want to, you know, point point
Speaker 1: the finger and say, oh, well, this is because of
Speaker 1: what you posted on social media, or this is because
Speaker 1: of a video that you know that got out and
Speaker 1: was you're laying around those kind of things. I just
Speaker 1: don't think that, you know, that way of dealing with
Speaker 1: these sorts of issues really accomplishes very much at all.
Speaker 5: Well, Dan, I guess I'm going to get political for
Speaker 5: a minute. You know, there are people on the left
Speaker 5: that make public cries against you know, conservatives, and they
Speaker 5: make statements in the media and in social media about
Speaker 5: you must stand up, you must fight back, and you
Speaker 5: know when you make those kinds of incendiary remarks about
Speaker 5: fight back, fight back, and you know, you got to
Speaker 5: get in their face, you know what I'm talking about
Speaker 5: seeing the same videos that I have. And when you
Speaker 5: do that, you're genming up the anger and and you're
Speaker 5: trying to get people to make a physical demonstration and
Speaker 5: an elected person's house, in front of their house, or
Speaker 5: whatever the case might be. You know, I don't really
Speaker 5: see Republicans and those on the right trying to gen
Speaker 5: up anger out there to be expressed against left leaning politicians,
Speaker 5: but I do see it the other way around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well then I guess that was the point
Speaker 1: I was making that whenever those on the right even
Speaker 1: even sort of get close to that line, then we're
Speaker 1: you know, we're called out for you know, making all
Speaker 1: these incendiary comments and all the rest of it. They
Speaker 1: seem to trigger people, while the other side simply forgets
Speaker 1: about the things that this sort of happened there with
Speaker 1: with with alarming regularity.
Speaker 2: I would call it.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you, I might let me just jump
Speaker 5: in one more thing on this topic. You know, whether
Speaker 5: you're a Republican or a Democrat, I have found that
Speaker 5: most of the Democrats that I work with, uh, they
Speaker 5: want good things for Ohio, and they want they want
Speaker 5: the same things I want. Dan they want they want safety,
Speaker 5: they want respect, responsible spending. We just disagree on how
Speaker 5: to get to the goal. And and that's why I
Speaker 5: think that that that incendiary statements are irresponsible, because in
Speaker 5: the end, we want the same thing. We want a
Speaker 5: greater high, we want a great America, and we just
Speaker 5: disagree on how to get there sometimes, and that's why
Speaker 5: these kind of physical threats are unnecessary and need.
Speaker 9: To be removed.
Speaker 1: The one thing I wanted to ask you about before
Speaker 1: we run out of time, was this character in education
Speaker 1: here in Ohio. This would mandate the school districts talk
Speaker 1: about things like trustworthiness, responsibility, hard work, care for your family,
Speaker 1: including your parents, kindness and generosity towards others, things like that,
Speaker 1: respect for legitimate law authority, those kind of things. This
Speaker 1: seems to me like an issue like this should be
Speaker 1: a slam dunk getting it through the lawmaking process.
Speaker 5: But it's actually got multiple facets through it, insights to that.
Speaker 5: So everything you just mentioned, Dan, those are worthy characteristics.
Speaker 5: Those are the kinds of characteristics that we want our
Speaker 5: graduates from public high schools and private high schools in
Speaker 5: Ohio to graduate with that be able to demonstrate that
Speaker 5: in the workplace and the family and in society. But
Speaker 5: the problem is, Dan, we have we just continue to
Speaker 5: load up schools with just one more thing, one more
Speaker 5: thing that students need to be trained on another uh
Speaker 5: uh uh lesson plan. And and so the more we
Speaker 5: load up schools, we're with things that that it makes
Speaker 5: them difficult to comply with them. And and oh, by
Speaker 5: the way, you better do good in your math and reading,
Speaker 5: uh you know, test results, or we're going to dingy
Speaker 5: on that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think there's ahole lot to be
Speaker 1: said for that. You know, let's get good at the
Speaker 1: basics before we start impiling on a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: other stuff. So, as always, Adam.
Speaker 5: Brans, I think I was just going to say, Dan,
Speaker 5: that that the reason why those admirable characteristics that you
Speaker 5: just mentioned are part of some people's effort and legislative
Speaker 5: priority here is because those are some of the issues
Speaker 5: that the family is failing, okay, And when we're the
Speaker 5: family is in these areas, people want the school to
Speaker 5: pick that off. Yeah, And so that's why we've got
Speaker 5: to have pro family policies in Ohio and in Washington, DC,
Speaker 5: so that that school doesn't have to do the job
Speaker 5: that the family should be doing.
Speaker 1: All right, Adam Bird will have to leave it right
Speaker 1: there as always appreciate the time, Always great having you on,
Speaker 1: and stop slacking off and get back to work there
Speaker 1: in Columbus get some of this stuff done, buddy.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Dan, appreciate what you do.

Speaker 1: a former undercover employee of the Central Intelligence Agency, served
Speaker 1: in Eastern and Western Europe and the Middle East. Still
Speaker 1: maintains many contacts there, has done a lot of work
Speaker 1: and counter terrorism, and he has been my terrorism and
Speaker 1: national security advisor for a long time now on the
Speaker 1: shows I do at night called the Midweek Crisis. And
Speaker 1: it is great to have Dell Wilbur on the show
Speaker 1: today as we sit in for Bill Cunningham and d
Speaker 1: W Wilber, welcome again to seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: Well, thanks thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2: Well, it always great to have you back.
Speaker 1: You've got a piece out in townhall dot com right
Speaker 1: now and the title is this The First String is
Speaker 1: Back in the Game. I just got done reading it.
Speaker 1: And you go through a little bit of the history
Speaker 1: of Barack Obama and the things that he did. You
Speaker 1: go through a little bit of the history of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden things that he did relative to Iran. But now
Speaker 1: with with the Trumpster in there, there is uh, there
Speaker 1: was a different story to be told between the United
Speaker 1: States and Iran, is there not?
Speaker 6: Oh? Absolutely, and yeah, I mean it. You know, it's
Speaker 6: kind of similar to what happened back you know, during
Speaker 6: the Jimmy Carter presidency when rob Od Reagan was elected.
Speaker 6: And you know, of course we all we all know
Speaker 6: the history that you know, the Iranians released the hostages
Speaker 6: they were holding, you know, when when Reagan was inaugurated,
Speaker 6: and because they recognized, just as the Iranians now recognize that,
Speaker 6: you know, Trump and Reagan were two different people, uh,
Speaker 6: compared to their predecessors. And uh, and that's that's good
Speaker 6: for us as a nation, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You talk about how you can you can sleep
Speaker 1: better at night, And first of all, let's just talk
Speaker 1: for for a moment about Operation Midnight Hammer and the
Speaker 1: way that operation was was carried out. You know, when
Speaker 1: I when I was in the military, it was impressed
Speaker 1: upon a couple of the important things that even as
Speaker 1: you know, a lowly enlisted band, some of the things
Speaker 1: that I needed to deal with were called we're called
Speaker 1: opsec operational security and communications security COMSEC. And when you
Speaker 1: look at those two elements of Midnight Hammer, it's probably
Speaker 1: about as close to perfection as you can possibly get
Speaker 1: because none of this leaked out the as you describe
Speaker 1: in your piece, the operation was carried out without a
Speaker 1: single shot being fired at any of our B two aircraft.
Speaker 1: And really, when you look at the way this operation
Speaker 1: was carried out, can you really expect any better results
Speaker 1: than we got?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 6: I think it's absolutely glorious that the dews media and
Speaker 6: the and the Democrats didn't know anything about it. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's you know, it's the way things should be done.
Speaker 6: And unfortunately, we've had a history in this country, you know,
Speaker 6: of not being able to protect our sensitive information, and
Speaker 6: you know, it kind of bothers me a little bit,
Speaker 6: you know, even now when watching some of the recent
Speaker 6: news reports and that the briefings that they that they
Speaker 6: give or that they gave about you know, this operation,
Speaker 6: I just uncomfortable with a lot of the things that
Speaker 6: they're sharing. I know they're holding a lot back and
Speaker 6: and and much of what they've already you know, or
Speaker 6: what they're talking about in these briefings has you know,
Speaker 6: has already been released. But it just makes me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty four hours ago, we were turned on the
Speaker 1: news and we saw that Iran was attacking military bases
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. And then come to find out
Speaker 1: that that the Trump administration was given a heads up.
Speaker 1: They were told exactly how many missiles were going to
Speaker 1: be launched. They told, you know, get your people to
Speaker 1: a safe place. This is really just an attack just
Speaker 1: for show. When you see something like that take place,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you make of that? You know?
Speaker 6: I mean, I think everyone, yeah, myself included, you know,
Speaker 6: anticipated that the Iranians were going to do something because
Speaker 6: they you know, they had to do that in order
Speaker 6: to save some face a little bit. But uh, but
Speaker 6: I didn't, I honestly did not expect them to uh
Speaker 6: uh to go crazy and uh and attack our installations
Speaker 6: and you know, all across the Middle East. And that
Speaker 6: I think that they they they understood that that that
Speaker 6: would not be a very wise move on their part.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: We also have the specter of Iran talking about wanting
Speaker 1: to close the straight up Hoore moves, putting one fifth
Speaker 1: of the world's oil supply at risk as you see it.
Speaker 1: Do they even are they even close to having the
Speaker 1: ability to to do something like that and in a
Speaker 1: real sense in reality that they could actually uh shout them.
Speaker 1: I know it's a toke point only thirty miles wide,
Speaker 1: but uh and I mean in reality that would they
Speaker 1: be able to do that and sustain something like that
Speaker 1: for any meaning amount of time?
Speaker 6: No, they could sustain it for very long at all.
Speaker 6: I mean our our military and I suspect some of
Speaker 6: the other Gulf state would take part in uh in
Speaker 6: opening the uh the channel back up, you know the
Speaker 6: the In fact, I spoke with a friend of mine
Speaker 6: over in the nation of Jordan right after the attack occurred,
Speaker 6: and that we were, you know, you know, exchanging messages
Speaker 6: back and forth and uh and I mentioned the fact
Speaker 6: about the straight of Hormor moves and that in his
Speaker 6: comment was, as a Jordanian was you know that it's
Speaker 6: not going to be that would make no real significant difference.
Speaker 6: He says, there's alternatives to what, you know, what the
Speaker 6: harm the straight of Harmor moves provides. So you know,
Speaker 6: and and again our military, the US would would certainly
Speaker 6: step in and uh uh, the the Iranians would probably
Speaker 6: be missing a few of their naval vessels if they
Speaker 6: tried it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's something else I wanted to ask you about.
Speaker 1: Even though it's well, I don't know. I mean, you
Speaker 1: might have been you know, you might have been in
Speaker 1: Jordan last week for all I know. You might have
Speaker 1: been doing some undercover work there. It's unbeknownst to me.
Speaker 1: But you still you maintain contacts in different places in
Speaker 1: the Middle East and share what you can about some
Speaker 1: of the comments that are being told to you, because
Speaker 1: as I see this, Trump has really isolated Ran in
Speaker 1: a way that has not happened in a long time.
Speaker 1: And I get the sense that throughout the Middle East,
Speaker 1: the there's a feeling that that this the specter of
Speaker 1: Iran having a nuclear weapon at its disposal, has been
Speaker 1: that that news has been greeted with, you know, with
Speaker 1: a certain amount of joy in and relief that that
Speaker 1: this issue has been taken care of.
Speaker 6: Well, as far as my activities go, I'll admit nothing
Speaker 6: to die, everything to make counter accusations absolutely, uh, but uh,
Speaker 6: you know, Trump has been very success. I mean, we've
Speaker 6: got a very willing uh group of nations out there.
Speaker 6: Who I mean, Iran is is hated and despised by
Speaker 6: by the entire Middle East basically, and uh, you know,
Speaker 6: the only exception was the regime under Assad in Syria. Uh.
Speaker 6: And certainly you have Hesbla in in Lebanon, but the
Speaker 6: Lebanese art you know themselves are not fans of Iran.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: And the SOD has gone from Syria now, so Iran
Speaker 6: really has no allies in the in the region anymore.
Speaker 6: And and the the Gulf nations, the uh, the Air
Speaker 6: nations have have felt for a long time, you know,
Speaker 6: concerned about Uh. I mean, they felt a serious threat
Speaker 6: from Iran, and uh you know now that uh you
Speaker 6: know that this has happened, you know, they're breathing a
Speaker 6: sigh of relief. And uh you know I do, I
Speaker 6: do maintain some you know, some contacts and in the
Speaker 6: in that part of the world, and uh, you know,
Speaker 6: I can I can say that there is a sense
Speaker 6: of relief. Uh. My Jordanian friend who uh I can't
Speaker 6: give any more detail than that, other than his brother
Speaker 6: is highly placed in the government. Uh. They were dancing
Speaker 6: in the streets. I mean, he was absolutely he was
Speaker 6: ecstatic when when he heard the news that uh uh,
Speaker 6: that we had gone into Iran and bombed their their
Speaker 6: nuclear sides. I mean, he was texting me like crazy.
Speaker 6: He was having a blast.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It seems to me, and if if my memory
Speaker 1: of history serves me, well, it seems to me that
Speaker 1: we've had the notion in this country for years that,
Speaker 1: you know, we need to go into the Middle East
Speaker 1: if we want to, if we want to be able
Speaker 1: to do business there or calm things down, that we
Speaker 1: need to have these operating democracies in throughout the Middle
Speaker 1: East and that'll help get things going the way they
Speaker 1: should be going. But as I look at what Trump
Speaker 1: is doing, I don't see him trying to instill democracy
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. I see him trying to instill
Speaker 1: the notion that if you want to come to the
Speaker 1: table and you want to conduct business, there is prosperity
Speaker 1: out there for everyone. And I look at Trump as
Speaker 1: a man of business. I look at him as a
Speaker 1: man of peace, and I think he's trying to put
Speaker 1: forth a notion that peace is good for business. He's
Speaker 1: also a man of action, and when it comes time
Speaker 1: to taking action to neutralize threats. I think everyone is
Speaker 1: fully aware, at least now if they weren't before, that
Speaker 1: he is he's not shy when it comes to taking
Speaker 1: action that's necessary to promote peace in the long run.
Speaker 2: How do you see it?
Speaker 6: Well, I agree with what you what you just just said.
Speaker 6: I think that that's the uh, that's the perception out
Speaker 6: there among our our Middle Eastern allies, and that is
Speaker 6: this is someone that they can deal with, and uh,
Speaker 6: you know, he's not going to you know, cast a
Speaker 6: downward glance at them as being you know, uh somehow
Speaker 6: less lesser than uh, you know, than uh than he is.
Speaker 6: He's not going to uh be judgmental, you know. One
Speaker 6: of the things that it actually was my policy or
Speaker 6: my suggestion when when we went into Afghanistan following the
Speaker 6: nine to eleven attacks. I fully supported going into Afghanistan.
Speaker 6: We had to hunt down the bad guys and and
Speaker 6: and run him out of town and and hopefully kill
Speaker 6: as many as we could. But but my suggestion was,
Speaker 6: instead of nation building, we should have just found the
Speaker 6: least detestable uh warlord, you know, made him the you know,
Speaker 6: the president or whatever with with the admonishment that if
Speaker 6: he did anything that that kicked us off too much,
Speaker 6: you know, we would erase him in his entire family
Speaker 6: and the family name from the from the tribal history books,
Speaker 6: you know. And that's I think, I think that that's
Speaker 6: kind of the same train of thought that that Trump
Speaker 6: has is, uh, you know, we have to deal with people.
Speaker 6: If they hopefully are good people, you know, we we
Speaker 6: can deal with them. But if if not, you know,
Speaker 6: then we'll go around them, through them or whatever we
Speaker 6: got to do. But we're not going to get bogged
Speaker 6: down in these uh you know, these uh, these forever
Speaker 6: wars anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you saw Trump this morning, which I hope
Speaker 1: you did, he was hot as a match. When it
Speaker 1: comes to the reporting that's been happening on MSNBC and
Speaker 1: CNN and some of the other networks, and one of
Speaker 1: the things that is making the rounds is an image
Speaker 1: a h an aerial image or maybe a satellite image
Speaker 1: that shows trucks lined up at Ransforida nuclear facility what
Speaker 1: what they claim is days before the strike. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any way that that's really been verified that
Speaker 1: you know, the timing on that particular photograph is real,
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking to myself, if this image is out
Speaker 1: there on the Internet and and anyone has it and
Speaker 1: they can put it on their social media feed, then,
Speaker 1: for God's sake, don't we in the United States have satellites,
Speaker 1: we can look at this, we can see this activity.
Speaker 1: Don't the Israelis have you know, access to all that information.
Speaker 1: Don't they have boots on the ground. Don't they have
Speaker 1: intelligence sources that if all this material was being shipped
Speaker 1: out of there, that I think they would have a
Speaker 1: pretty good handle on when that happened and where that
Speaker 1: stuff went, and they have a plan in place on
Speaker 1: how to deal with that.
Speaker 6: Well absolutely, you know, I'm sure that for many many
Speaker 6: days before that that operation took place, we had eyes
Speaker 6: on from that region, both both probably you know, Israeli
Speaker 6: assets on the ground, you know, as well as you
Speaker 6: know satellite you know, coverage overhead and that. So whatever
Speaker 6: was going on in that I don't think was a
Speaker 6: major concern too, you know, to to the operation that we,
Speaker 6: uh we carried out, and uh, you know, I personally,
Speaker 6: I don't think there's probably not much to it. Uh
Speaker 6: And if there was, if they were moving some kind
Speaker 6: of material out which uh from what I've heard the
Speaker 6: the trucks that weren't really capable of containing that kind
Speaker 6: of material. Uh, you know, I I'm not gonna lose
Speaker 6: them to sleep over because I have a good feeling
Speaker 6: that we know exactly where they went and where they are.
Speaker 6: And you know, if we have to deal with them,
Speaker 6: we'll deal with them with Israelis. We'll deal with them
Speaker 6: at a later.
Speaker 9: Date, all right.
Speaker 1: The other issue that's being kicked around now is regime change.
Speaker 1: If that comes to pass, what do you see as
Speaker 1: the danger there? What? What if regime change does happen,
Speaker 1: what does d W. Wilbur want to see?
Speaker 6: Well, I want to see regime change. I really think
Speaker 6: that that is the the answer to to the entire issue, because,
Speaker 6: you know, as thee and the current regime has shown,
Speaker 6: you know, for the last nearly fifty years, you know,
Speaker 6: they're willing to negotiate, they'll they'll sign anything, but whether
Speaker 6: or not they live up to any agreement has been
Speaker 6: proven over and over and over again that they won't.
Speaker 6: So they can't be trusted in that. And you know,
Speaker 6: I certainly think that the Iranian people should be involved
Speaker 6: and they should select who who they choose as their
Speaker 6: leadership once once this one is gone. But I want
Speaker 6: to see the Israeli has finished a job. I really do,
Speaker 6: and I don't think it's uh that's a long term proposition.
Speaker 6: I think the regime is very close to collapse right.
Speaker 1: Now, all right, DW. Bilberth that we will have to run.
Speaker 1: The time always flies by when ever you're on, brother,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the insight, and I appreciate the time.
Speaker 1: People can find your columns on townhall dot com and
Speaker 1: d W. Wilber keep up the great work and you know,
Speaker 1: keep up the clandestine activity. I appreciate everything you do.
Speaker 6: Okay, well, thanks a lot, take care.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you later. That's my buddy,
Speaker 1: Deed Dell Wilbur for an undercover employee of the CIA,
Speaker 1: and uh, that guy he knows where it's all going on.
Speaker 1: It is one twenty five. Dan Carroll in for Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 10: I think it's been completely demolished. I think the reason
Speaker 10: we're here is because those pilots, there's b two pilots.
Speaker 9: That are unbelievable.
Speaker 10: Job and you know, the fake news like CNN in particular,
Speaker 10: they're trying to you know they're trying to say, well,
Speaker 10: I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed.
Speaker 1: You know what they're doing.
Speaker 10: They're really hurting great pilots that put their lives in
Speaker 10: the line. CNN is scum and so is MSDNC. They're
Speaker 10: all and frankly the networks aren't much better.
Speaker 3: Oh hello, quiet, and I'm spokes I'm broadcasting second man.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me, but I think Trump was hot
Speaker 1: as a match this morning. As Marty lay there, Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll slightly, well, I mean, I mean this guy has
Speaker 1: unloaded before on places like CNN and MSNBC and George Stephanopolis.
Speaker 11: But then somebody asked him about Israel and I ran
Speaker 11: and he said, I'm mad at it.
Speaker 5: We have two cuttries.
Speaker 10: We been fighting so long and so hard that they
Speaker 10: don't know what the they're doing.
Speaker 1: Do you understand that?
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 11: And then he just walks off with hat in hand,
Speaker 11: getting into Marine one and he just landed in the Netherlands.
Speaker 11: So there you go, right there, this is going to
Speaker 11: be so much guy.
Speaker 2: When's he sleep on the plane?
Speaker 1: Well, he got on the plane because when when he
Speaker 1: was when he was walking out of the White house
Speaker 1: this morning. He was talking about how he was all
Speaker 1: mad because the seasfire had been breathed right right. Then
Speaker 1: he gets on the airplane at about fifteen minutes later,
Speaker 1: he's a you know, he's saying, oh, the seasfire is
Speaker 1: back on. So you think he got on the plane
Speaker 1: with it. And he got on the phone to net
Speaker 1: and Yahoo. And I'd like to have heard that conversation.
Speaker 1: Oh that's one side.
Speaker 2: It's a p I said, Ben, shut that, you know
Speaker 2: what up I'm talking and this is what you're going
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: So there's people out there trying to spind the narrative
Speaker 1: that Netan Yahoo is the one who manipulated Trump into
Speaker 1: the situation that we're in now. But I look at
Speaker 1: what happened this morning, and I'll look at that and
Speaker 1: I say, I don't I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 11: Well, if there's peace there, then it could be everywhere
Speaker 11: on earth, because Israel and Iran and all that. The
Speaker 11: whole section has been shooting each other since Adam and Eve.
Speaker 1: But if you're in charge of CNN or MSNBC, how
Speaker 1: you're feeling right.
Speaker 2: Now, probably not using that as a promo.
Speaker 12: Dan Carrol the stood reporters a proud service every local

Speaker 1: I know we got to reach over there.
Speaker 11: So we've got a special guest here because, uh, you
Speaker 11: and I are basically dumbfounded by A I.
Speaker 1: My correct Uh AI is one of those things. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I see, here's the thing I look at.
Speaker 1: I look at my my x feed.
Speaker 2: We might be AI. Now, it could be, we could be.
Speaker 9: It could be.
Speaker 1: But I look at my x feed and I see
Speaker 1: the button on there where you can hit the A.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid to hit that button.
Speaker 11: I don't even know where that is on my on
Speaker 11: your phone, well, on your computer.
Speaker 1: I've got my x feed on my computer right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: I can hit that button right there, and then it
Speaker 1: takes me to a I, and I don't know what happens.
Speaker 1: I've never touched it, okay, because I'm afraid to touch it. Well,
Speaker 1: Josh Gutman is here today and from Cable Academy and
Speaker 1: what AI Training for Ohio.
Speaker 2: Josh, you got to tell us all about it, and
Speaker 2: he's a he's a uh well, let's see now, a

Speaker 11: program was a promotions director.
Speaker 2: And damn good at it. He gave me everything I
Speaker 2: want wanted a joint, he gave me everything I wanted more.
Speaker 2: There you go, God, what what?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: What do you guys doing? Brian Combs, who is celebrating
Speaker 1: forty years, it was just when when he was still
Speaker 1: a rookie.
Speaker 9: I walked through here.
Speaker 2: It's about it's unbelievable. So still here, which is great.
Speaker 1: Is always going to be here, thank God, Thank god.
Speaker 2: They'll be They'll be propping me up. What are you
Speaker 2: guys going on?
Speaker 13: Just like you guys, it's so simple, Just like you
Speaker 13: guys just talked about. You don't know anything about AI,
Speaker 13: most people don't. You read about it every day. It's
Speaker 13: everywhere you go. We have a three hour training course
Speaker 13: that we do in the state of Ohio where we
Speaker 13: trained companies employees on the baseline fundamentals of AI. We
Speaker 13: get you a letterate how do you use AI and
Speaker 13: your day to day task? How do you use it responsibly?
Speaker 13: Just the most basic stuff and in thick enough to
Speaker 13: say I.
Speaker 2: Brought this book.
Speaker 13: This book is how to Use the Internet, written in
Speaker 13: nineteen ninety eight. It's five hundred and fifty pages. Nineteen
Speaker 13: ninety eight, when we were in the business together said
Speaker 13: we had to read a five hundred page book to
Speaker 13: understand the Internet. That's AI. So what we've done is
Speaker 13: dumped it down to a three hour course and what's awesome.
Speaker 13: Any company in the state of Ohio likely qualifies to
Speaker 13: get full reimbursement through a program.
Speaker 2: Called tech cred Ohio.
Speaker 13: So essentially you reach out to us, we do a
Speaker 13: little research for you, we tell you about the program.
Speaker 13: It's a three hour program for your employees, and you
Speaker 13: get fully reimbursed by the state of Ohio. We don't
Speaker 13: even do the program if you don't get the reimbursement,
Speaker 13: so you get a proof for reimbursement. And so we're
Speaker 13: training companies all throughout Ohio getting their employees AI literate.
Speaker 13: Most importantly is making sure they understand responsibility because it
Speaker 13: is a very dangerous thing. If you don't understand the
Speaker 13: responsibility of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the one thing I don't understand about AI.
Speaker 1: It can be used for medical it can be used
Speaker 1: to create video, it can be used for things on
Speaker 1: the Internet. So you've got all these different and I
Speaker 1: know here out can be used to benefit all these
Speaker 1: different businesses. Is is it just is there just one
Speaker 1: AI that knows all that stuff? Or is there different
Speaker 1: AIS that are programmed to know about, say the broadcasting business,
Speaker 1: or know about you know, how do you help a
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball team? How do you know AI for
Speaker 1: medical stuff? Are they all different? Or is it just
Speaker 1: one giant AI that knows all this.
Speaker 13: I want to remind you, I'm a radio guy like you,
Speaker 13: so see student ere buddies, but I'm not the guy
Speaker 13: teaching it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can get pretty niche.
Speaker 13: You can get very specific in different softwares, different industries.
Speaker 13: I mean, but for the everyday person, let's just dumb
Speaker 13: it down. You're writing an email to a customer, you
Speaker 13: can write it much better using AI. You want to
Speaker 13: do a memo to your employees, you can do it
Speaker 13: much better. You want to do research, you can do
Speaker 13: it a hell of a lot faster in AI. Than
Speaker 13: you can, but you have to understand how to use it.
Speaker 13: You have to understand what to put in. And what
Speaker 13: happens is this companies are afraid to use it because
Speaker 13: to your point, they're scared of it and or they're
Speaker 13: scared of what their employees are going to put into it.
Speaker 13: We teach them those fundamental basics that make them. By
Speaker 13: the way, if you don't know how to use AI
Speaker 13: today and about a year or two, you will be obsolete.
Speaker 13: And I mean the basics, not not how to to
Speaker 13: read a radiology exam, but the everyday stuff. Remember nineteen
Speaker 13: ninety eight, five hundred pages on how to use Internet.
Speaker 13: You would know everything in here. Now it's so.
Speaker 1: You came in here carrying that book. I thought I
Speaker 1: thought he was going to sell us a book.
Speaker 13: So no, no, listen again see Student Radio guid I've
Speaker 13: never read a book in my life, but you know so, Yeah,
Speaker 13: we just want to make sure the companies that leadership
Speaker 13: that listens to your station in the state of Ohio,
Speaker 13: especially here locally, if they want to get their folks
Speaker 13: trained on AI, we can do it. Best of all,
Speaker 13: they can reach out to us and more than likely
Speaker 13: they will get fully reimbursed for Okay, how do they
Speaker 13: do that?
Speaker 2: It's the simplest thing in the world. You go to www.
Speaker 13: Dot Ohio AI training dot.
Speaker 1: Com ohioai training dot com.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 9: There.
Speaker 2: You go fill out a form.
Speaker 13: We'll reach out to you, we'll give you all the information,
Speaker 13: we'll tell you how it works, we'll help you get
Speaker 13: the reimbursement before we do it the end.
Speaker 1: Okay, is it all remote learning?
Speaker 13: Yeassroom, No, Nope, nope. We do it so they can
Speaker 13: do it from their homes, their desk, wherever they are.
Speaker 13: It's a virtual live learning, but it's live. Give an
Speaker 13: instructor and we work with you, and we do examples
Speaker 13: and we teach you prompting and all the fun stuff
Speaker 13: that goes with it. I'll tell you I took it.
Speaker 13: I couldn't believe how much I use it now already.
Speaker 13: It's really incredible.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, eventually, there's not really going to be
Speaker 1: any And I was talking to a buddy of mine
Speaker 1: who's a welder. Yeah, but even AI is going to
Speaker 1: have an impact in a profession like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: if AI is going to want is good, it's if
Speaker 1: it's not already, it's going to wind up be in everything.
Speaker 13: It'll be in it. It is in everything. It's been
Speaker 13: in everything for a long time. However, there's always new
Speaker 13: jobs that come with it. You've got to input the
Speaker 13: stuff into the AI. So young people today are just
Speaker 13: going to learn new crafts, new skills. But yeah, I
Speaker 13: mean it is absolutely going to eat some jobs. There's
Speaker 13: there's no arguing that.
Speaker 1: Well, seg I heard them talking the other day about
Speaker 1: possibly going to the uh what what's the balls and
Speaker 1: strikes where they're gonna help the computer looking at balls
Speaker 1: and strike early next year. Yeah, I mean, for God's sake,
Speaker 1: I mean, when is enough enough? But a lot of
Speaker 1: umpires out of what I guess we can have a
Speaker 1: mercy rule now. I guess it's gonna a game.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you.
Speaker 13: I'm tired of watching the TV and it sees it
Speaker 13: go outside and.
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, that's a strike. I just let it
Speaker 2: be done.
Speaker 11: Well, I get you know, I don't know. I mean
Speaker 11: they're gonna have to figure it out how many challenges
Speaker 11: for a by pitch? Yeah, each batter has because if not,
Speaker 11: you're going to be there for six seven hours, you know, so,
Speaker 11: and then they're going to have to stop the game
Speaker 11: to replay it.
Speaker 2: And look at it.
Speaker 11: And it was like, I don't know, maybe that's a
Speaker 11: I maybe maybe a I will be right there and
Speaker 11: say it's it's inside corner, it's a strike.
Speaker 2: I don't know either.
Speaker 1: I didn't like the idea of the when they put
Speaker 1: the clock in that on the pitchers, but I'm good
Speaker 1: with it now.
Speaker 2: I say, I say that's enough.
Speaker 11: Dan also Sports Dan also the stood report with the
Speaker 11: hot Let's see Reds wind over the Yanks last night
Speaker 11: six to one. Ellie Da La Cruz the superstar.

Speaker 2: Chevrolet Xtra Inning Show after the game. Of course yesterday.
Speaker 11: The other big news is Jamber Candelario got designated for
Speaker 11: assignment after though twenty two, twenty two or twenty three
Speaker 11: million dollars.
Speaker 1: Where do where do I sign up for that?
Speaker 2: I don't have a class where there's no AI there job, Okay,
Speaker 2: where can I sign up to be? Thank thank you?
Speaker 2: That's all.

Speaker 11: ago today, forty years forty years forty years ago in
Speaker 11: the seven hundred WLW newsroom.
Speaker 1: So that would have been whatever this date what is today?
Speaker 1: June twenty fourth, nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 2: Is that pretty close?
Speaker 1: I could use it, yeahor subtract on AI.
Speaker 2: Can you do that real quick right for you?
Speaker 9: This one?
Speaker 1: I was, I was out there, I saw Brian and
Speaker 1: Matt Reese. He says, do you realize that if in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five we were there celebrating someone's fortieth year,
Speaker 1: that means they would have started in nineteen forty five.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about the perspective on that. I mean,
Speaker 1: how much did the world change between nineteen forty five
Speaker 1: and nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, are you not kidding?
Speaker 9: Andy Man?
Speaker 2: I mean I remember that's right there, you go, got
Speaker 2: the book, got our Internet guide right there.
Speaker 1: And seg you remember this Don Webb being in the
Speaker 1: newsroom yep, banging away on that type right yeah, right,

Speaker 2: And I didn't see him?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: I mean they were there.
Speaker 2: Having the party out there. I was in you know,
Speaker 2: I was very nice, working, very nice little deal here.
Speaker 1: It was like Cunningham like to say, I'm a workhorse,
Speaker 1: not a show horse.
Speaker 2: That's true, aren't we all? Aren't we all?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 11: But what there's really nothing else going on except Hopefully

Speaker 2: Well, you know you're talking to your talking to the
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: So well, if it's good enough for Johnny Bench, it's good.
Speaker 2: Enough for Barky Anderson. Correct, correct, all right?
Speaker 1: One more time on the on the AI business, tell
Speaker 1: us where what's going on and where people can find
Speaker 1: out about you.
Speaker 2: We'll keep it real simple.
Speaker 13: If your company out there and you want to get
Speaker 13: your folks AI literate your employees, just go to Ohio
Speaker 13: AI training dot com.
Speaker 2: It's got a simple form. We'll get back to you again.
Speaker 13: Fully reimburse there's a state program where we will help
Speaker 13: you get reimbursed. So there's no cost to you. It's

Speaker 1: Right, seg if you would please get us out of
Speaker 1: the stooge, reports Dan, in honor.
Speaker 11: Of a hot day here in the Tri State and
Speaker 11: Cable Academy and a I we say happy birthday to
Speaker 11: the one and only Dave Lapham.
Speaker 1: I saw a picture of Happy birthday to Dave.
Speaker 11: This is his This will be his fiftieth season as
Speaker 11: a player and radio analyst for the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Brought Brian Combs has a little ways to go to
Speaker 1: catch up to the lap We leave you with the
Speaker 1: immortal words of the stood report. Charges against Tombs are
Speaker 1: now a possibility.
Speaker 2: What do you do now? Holy can somehow that's mate's
Speaker 2: you know? All right, we'll see it. That's good luck
Speaker 2: with the AI Academy. Seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Back on the Big one, seven hundred W l W
Speaker 1: two ten on this Tuesday afternoon hot outside. Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: in for Bill Cunningham is enjoying that. I think he's
Speaker 1: got the whole week off because I know I'm back
Speaker 1: in here for him on Friday, and maybe ken Brew
Speaker 1: between now and then, so we'll all enjoy listening to
Speaker 1: that together. But until then, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: first things that happened when the news broke on Saturday
Speaker 1: night that Operation Midnight Hammer was delivering bunker busting bombs
Speaker 1: to the Iranian nuclear facilities, was immediately Democrats start wringing
Speaker 1: their hands, start going to social media, crying and complaining
Speaker 1: that the president was acting in an unconstitutional way, that
Speaker 1: he was violating the War Powers Act, that he was
Speaker 1: violating the tenets of the Constitution. And so whenever questions
Speaker 1: like this arise, one of the first calls that I
Speaker 1: one of the first, well, no, not a call, but
Speaker 1: I guess I should say a text message that I
Speaker 1: send out is to my buddy Tom King. And Tom
Speaker 1: King is a great constitutional lawyer. The I want to say,
Speaker 1: the GOP main Council for the whole Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: and Tom King joins me this afternoon to answer these
Speaker 1: very important questions. And Tom King, great to have you
Speaker 1: back on the show. How are you today?
Speaker 9: Thank you, Dan, I'm just fine and It's always a
Speaker 9: pleasure to be with you.
Speaker 1: Are you still still the main the main council there,
Speaker 1: the big time council for the Republican Party in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I'm General counsel for Pennsylvania GOP.
Speaker 1: All right, well, I mean sometimes you change jobs on me,
Speaker 1: so I gotta I gotta keep I keep up, keep
Speaker 1: up with all that. So let's get to the main
Speaker 1: question here. And this was a question I asked you
Speaker 1: when we found out about the bombing the other night.
Speaker 1: There are so many Democrats, and at least some of
Speaker 1: the Democrats have been honest about this, but so many Democrats,
Speaker 1: and I think of AOC and all the other loudmouths
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren comes to mind. They are saying that Trump
Speaker 1: is acting in an unconstitutional manner by bringing these airstrikes
Speaker 1: to the nuclear facilities there in Iran. When you look
Speaker 1: at this and the way this operation was carried out,
Speaker 1: do you see anything going on that is going on
Speaker 1: in an unconstitutional way?
Speaker 9: Absolutely not.
Speaker 8: As a matter of fact, what I see is I
Speaker 8: see the same thing that we have seen before, and
Speaker 8: the same people who are complaining now never complain back then.
Speaker 9: For example, in twenty twenty three three, when.
Speaker 8: Joe Biden used the same into actually twenty twenty one
Speaker 8: when Joe Biden used Article two of the Constitution as
Speaker 8: the basis for which he ordered strikes in both Iraq
Speaker 8: and Syria in UH in the in the Obama era, Obama,
Speaker 8: on the last day he was in office, ordered ordered
Speaker 8: bombs away. We also had Bill Clinton h bomb Yugoslavia,
Speaker 8: in the Bosnian conflict, we had Ronald Reaganson troops into
Speaker 8: Grenada and the actually parachuted into Grenada. And of course
Speaker 8: in the Bush era, we had we had all sorts
Speaker 8: of examples of this, But the all of those presidents
Speaker 8: used the same criteria that President Trump did. It's just
Speaker 8: that when President Trump does it, you know, and he says,
Speaker 8: I have the authority under Article two of the of
Speaker 8: the US Constitution, and that's the same thing all these
Speaker 8: other presidents said as well. There's also no question that
Speaker 8: there is no violation here of the War Powers Act.
Speaker 8: The War Powers Act is really clear, uh that that
Speaker 8: the president has the authority to act. There are certain requirements,
Speaker 8: and as I understand it, he's fulfilled those requirements, including
Speaker 8: notifying Congress within forty eight hours after after he takes
Speaker 8: h takes takes the attack. But it's clear that if
Speaker 8: the United States or its territories, its possessions, or its
Speaker 8: armed forces are attacked, which we have been repeatedly by
Speaker 8: the Iranians, that that he's like that he's allowed to
Speaker 8: take action. And so both under the War Powers Act
Speaker 8: in the Constitution, the President has once again acted properly.
Speaker 8: It's just these these some of these people that are
Speaker 8: that are crying about it. Never spoke up, never said
Speaker 8: a thing when it was done by the other side.
Speaker 8: And listen, this was done in a way that was
Speaker 8: so effective and so terrifically successful that that that I
Speaker 8: don't think their cries are going to be heard much
Speaker 8: much anyway. And you do have one Democrat that that
Speaker 8: stood up and said this was the right thing to do,
Speaker 8: and that was John Fetterman from Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's interesting case, isn't he? John Fetterman.
Speaker 9: He's a very interesting case. He's it's remarkable.
Speaker 8: He's developed a friendship with Dave McCormick, the Republican US
Speaker 8: senator here, and he's not afraid.
Speaker 9: To speak out.
Speaker 8: So when you know what they did to him is
Speaker 8: what they did to trump, you know, they went after
Speaker 8: him and and the left. The left went after Fetterman
Speaker 8: and tried to claim that that he was mentally incompetent
Speaker 8: and that the stroke had had diminished his capacity, when
Speaker 8: when back when he was running for office, they said
Speaker 8: he was he was great, and everything was fine. Sounds
Speaker 8: a little familiar, like the like the Biden stuff that's
Speaker 8: going on.
Speaker 2: Done just just a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm if we have time, I may get to the
Speaker 1: autopen discussion with you. But a couple of items in particular,
Speaker 1: and one is this notion that that in the in
Speaker 1: the early part of this when they had all these
Speaker 1: Democrats objecting to what Trump did, they tried to spin
Speaker 1: this narrative that there was no imminent threat and so
Speaker 1: therefore Trump was in violation of the War Powers Act
Speaker 1: because Iran having nuclear capabilities, in their judgment, was not
Speaker 1: a threat to the United States. I don't think you
Speaker 1: really have to go very far down the road to
Speaker 1: make the case that Iran having a nuclear weapon is
Speaker 1: not only a threat to Israel and other places in
Speaker 1: the Middle East, but if they can bolt on a
Speaker 1: nuclear warhead to an intercontinental ballistic missile, which when you
Speaker 1: look at that program was moving along as well. I
Speaker 1: think it's quite easy to make the case, as Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio did on one of the Sunday shows, where he said, look,
Speaker 1: we've seen enough, We've got all the information we need
Speaker 1: to act. I think when you look at that, I
Speaker 1: think again, Trump was well within constitutional limits to order
Speaker 1: this strike.
Speaker 8: People have been saying for at least the last twenty years,
Speaker 8: Presidents Democrats and Republicans both that Iraq, I'm sorry that
Speaker 8: Iran could never possess a nuclear weapon, and and uh,
Speaker 8: anyone out there that that thinks otherwise is not only
Speaker 8: wrong or misguided, but they're foolhardy, and so uh, Trump
Speaker 8: did what was necessary here to to really to preserve society,
Speaker 8: to preserve the world as we know it, and to
Speaker 8: avoid uh, these crazy people who are running Iran, who
Speaker 8: are who whose stated purposes is to eliminate Israel, and
Speaker 8: and uh and then who chant regularly death to you know,
Speaker 8: death to to the U.
Speaker 6: S A.
Speaker 9: Who to captured our embassy.
Speaker 8: You know, the debacle that happened under Carter was basically
Speaker 8: the start of all this stuff.
Speaker 9: And and Trump Trump dealt with them in a in
Speaker 9: a strong in a strong way, in a definitive way.
Speaker 8: And it wasn't another helicopters lost in the Desert debacle
Speaker 8: like we had with Jimmy Carter. This was direct, this
Speaker 8: was strong, this was get in, get out. We didn't
Speaker 8: lose a single service person and the mission was just
Speaker 8: remarkable and we should be we should all be applauding
Speaker 8: the military for what they've done here, and the Joint
Speaker 8: chiefs and the President especially.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other elements I want to ask you about, specifically,
Speaker 1: is the idea of introducing truths into hostilities. That language
Speaker 1: comes right out of the War Powers Act, and this
Speaker 1: notion that Trump, without the approval of Congress, has declared
Speaker 1: war on Iran. As I watched this unfold, I never
Speaker 1: had the sense, and maybe you did, and maybe others did,
Speaker 1: but I never had the sense that we were at war.
Speaker 1: I think I understood what this air strike was about,
Speaker 1: and that was disabling the Iranians from being able to
Speaker 1: which again, they were only steps, maybe a couple of
Speaker 1: steps away. I don't know everything. There is no about
Speaker 1: uranium and richment, but they were very close to the
Speaker 1: idea of having a nuclear weapon. When you know, when
Speaker 1: when I look at this idea of declaring war I did.
Speaker 1: I did not see this. I never had the sense
Speaker 1: that we were declaring war on anyone. We were simply
Speaker 1: looking out for the best interest of the United States.
Speaker 1: And when you, I guess you can make the argument
Speaker 1: that you were introducing troops into hostilities since we had
Speaker 1: pilots on board those B two bombers that were you know,
Speaker 1: over the target, over I guess what you could consider
Speaker 1: a hostile airspace. But again, I think that argument is
Speaker 1: very flimsy at best. Oh, I agree completely.
Speaker 8: I think Vice President Advanced and Marco Rubio both eloquently
Speaker 8: spoken on this, and what the you know, the the
Speaker 8: notion that we declared war is wrong. What we declared
Speaker 8: war on was was on the nuclear capacity of Iran,
Speaker 8: the capacity of the crazy Mulahs to to possess a
Speaker 8: nuclear weapon that they could use or weapons that they
Speaker 8: could use anywhere in the world. And so I think
Speaker 8: that's what we declared war on. There was no there
Speaker 8: was no notion. I didn't have the sense that that
Speaker 8: we were declaring war on anybody. I think it was
Speaker 8: a strategic mission that complied fully with the War Powers Act.
Speaker 8: The President has the power to do it under the
Speaker 8: War Powers Act. He just has to comply, and he's
Speaker 8: done that by notifying the Big eight, you know, the
Speaker 8: leaders of the Democrat Republican parties in the House and
Speaker 8: Senate in a timely matter manner. And he did that,
Speaker 8: and so he's done everything correctly. And I really don't
Speaker 8: I think it's the declaration of war on the on
Speaker 8: the idea that Iran would ever possess a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 8: but in the traditional sense of declaring war, he didn't
Speaker 8: do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let the whole notion of what what happens traditionally
Speaker 1: in situations like this. I mean, I guess that's a
Speaker 1: that's a nice thing. I guess it's it's good to
Speaker 1: have the quorum in that sort of way. But there's
Speaker 1: nothing written anywhere that the president has to follow the
Speaker 1: traditions of the norms of any president that came before him.
Speaker 2: Is there no?
Speaker 8: As a matter of fact, if you remember, in the
Speaker 8: in the Clinton era, Clinton tried to follow the niceties
Speaker 8: of having Congress declare this to be a probe to
Speaker 8: this this these actions in Yugoslavia in the Bosnian conflict,
Speaker 8: and the United States Senate actually passed passed the resolution
Speaker 8: to to allow him to undertake the bombing, but uh
Speaker 8: heat and he and he did it, but he didn't
Speaker 8: get it passed in the House. There was a tie
Speaker 8: vote and ultimately it was defeated in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 8: But Clinton nonetheless moved forward and bombed anyway. So that
Speaker 8: the Clinton example is one of somebody trying to trying
Speaker 8: to comply with niceties at a time when he knew
Speaker 8: that they.
Speaker 2: Had He knew that he had to act, he had
Speaker 2: to move, he had to move.
Speaker 8: To Bosnians, and he did it with with the bomb
Speaker 8: the strategic bombing that he did in the former Yugoslavia.
Speaker 8: And so it's at the end of the day, it
Speaker 8: saved lives, and it saved saved the United Nations troops
Speaker 8: that were in there, and he did the right thing.
Speaker 9: But but it's really curious in history.
Speaker 8: That it was passed by the Senate, defeated in the House,
Speaker 8: and it was done anyway.
Speaker 9: And so although Clinton was impeached, it wasn't over that.
Speaker 1: We should have a little history lesson on that perhaps sometimes,
Speaker 1: But the whole notion of the War Powers Act, I've
Speaker 1: heard some Mark Levin among them, make the argument that
Speaker 1: the War Powers Act is unconstitutional in and of itself.
Speaker 1: It is it maybe time to revisit that when you
Speaker 1: look at the you know, the state of communications, I mean,
Speaker 1: everything is instant around the world in the blink of
Speaker 1: an eye. The notion that you have to seek approval
Speaker 1: from a deliberative body like members of the House or
Speaker 1: members of the Senate in order to launch any any
Speaker 1: military act at all all just doesn't seem very practical
Speaker 1: in the sense that if you have to move quickly
Speaker 1: in order to neutralize a threat, that something like that
Speaker 1: could happen. Is it maybe time to to revisit the
Speaker 1: War Powers Act and updated, or maybe get rid of
Speaker 1: it altogether.
Speaker 8: I would say that, if anything, they should get rid
Speaker 8: of it altogether. But nonetheless, there's still plenty of room
Speaker 8: for for presidents to act in a proper way, as
Speaker 8: Trump just did under the War Powers Act. And everything
Speaker 8: he did here would pass muster under the War Powers Act.
Speaker 8: Somebody could somebody could file and they probably will somebody,
Speaker 8: some some crazy out there a foul lawsuits somewhere, and
Speaker 8: some federal judge will schedule some imminent hearing. But the
Speaker 8: bombs have already dropped, the success has already been been announced,
Speaker 8: and and uh so They can fuss about it if
Speaker 8: they want, but I don't think that I don't think
Speaker 8: that the United States Supreme Court ultimately would would ever
Speaker 8: ever say that that anything that was done here was
Speaker 8: illegal or unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't it time for some of these federal judges
Speaker 1: to get the message? When you look at one victory
Speaker 1: after another that has come down from the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: in favor of Trump's actions, You've got so many of
Speaker 1: these Supreme Court rulings and injunctions and you know, the
Speaker 1: blocks and all the rest of it. So many of
Speaker 1: those are being overridden and overruled by the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: At some point, aren't these federal judges, these activist federal
Speaker 1: judges going to get the message and maybe say and see,
Speaker 1: you know, it's time to cool your jets on this stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we have a you know, there are there are
Speaker 8: a myriad of really terrific federal judges around the country,
Speaker 8: and unfortunately, there's I don't know whether it's judge shopping,
Speaker 8: you know, these these cases are brought in places where
Speaker 8: where there are liberal federal judges, like in Rhode Island
Speaker 8: or in Massachusetts, you know, and so ultimately these cases
Speaker 8: have been overturned time and again in the United States
Speaker 8: Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court is there's a conservative
Speaker 8: majority and that there's no way that that these things
Speaker 8: are going to continue. It's it's time to to make
Speaker 8: sure that people taking these important positions are like minded
Speaker 8: to to the right thinking people in this country and
Speaker 8: stand up for the stand up for the country, and
Speaker 8: stand up for what's right and wrong. These some of
Speaker 8: these decisions are just outrageous and glad to see the
Speaker 8: US Supreme Court stand up and say we're not going
Speaker 8: to count this set this this last thing about not
Speaker 8: being able to ship illegal aliens, uh, you know to
Speaker 8: other countries other than where they came from. When you
Speaker 8: when you when you ship them when they came to
Speaker 8: this country illegally, they forfeited the right to complain about that,
Speaker 8: and so shipping them to Somalia or or or to
Speaker 8: South Sudan, which is the case that the US Supreme
Speaker 8: Court just heard shipping them to South Sudan. I mean,
Speaker 8: that's that's uh, that's one method of getting rid of
Speaker 8: people who have come here illegally.
Speaker 6: They don't want to be I was going to say,
Speaker 6: you I spent there, don't go.
Speaker 1: Even the Ninth Circuit has shut some of this stuff down.
Speaker 1: And if you can't read the writing on the wall there,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with you. Tom King. Always

Speaker 1: hundred w l W as a young as a young
Speaker 1: news guy, I was sent out. I was sent out
Speaker 1: the tours a Lion Combs probably right, Brian Combs may
Speaker 1: have dispatched me to that, or it might have been
Speaker 1: Hondo Henderson. But I was sent out to see if
Speaker 1: I could find this lion that was on the loose.
Speaker 1: And so we're we're, you know, we're getting these reports.
Speaker 1: I'm driving all around and uh, it was me and
Speaker 1: Clyde Gray, Yes, when when he was out in the field.
Speaker 1: I think he was a Channel five at the time.
Speaker 1: We start walking down this street and Clyde puts his
Speaker 1: arm mount and stops me. I said, what he says,
Speaker 1: look over there, and we were we were about Leo
Speaker 1: the lion. We were about two hundred feet away from
Speaker 1: this lion. It was it was a hot day like today.
Speaker 1: He was chilling underneath the tree.
Speaker 2: About that.
Speaker 1: But I didn't do like Tom Davis did. I didn't
Speaker 1: call up and say, Willie, I stared down Leo the lion.
Speaker 1: Would you guys just kind of walk away, get some
Speaker 1: video and then walk away.
Speaker 2: Well I didn't get video.
Speaker 1: You know, I had re remember those I remember those
Speaker 1: those giant phones.

Speaker 1: Yeah, way not as much as a bowling ball, yet
Speaker 1: put it over your shoulder exactly, walkie talkie.

Speaker 1: called Bill Tonas and I said, here's my report. How
Speaker 1: about that? Would they find the lion? They found the lit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they found him tranquilized and got it in there. So
Speaker 1: I've chased down a lion. I've chased down remember the
Speaker 1: cow that got loose that one time? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that cow got loose was you know, banging around the
Speaker 1: trailer in there and going crazy. And I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think about track down anything else. But I don't think
