Speaker 1: Time for one more for the road, maybe three hours
Speaker 1: worth of one more for the road. It's the night
Speaker 1: pat On seven hundred WLW. I'm Gary Jeff Walker, and
Speaker 1: I come to you tonight with a heavy heart. And
Speaker 1: it's a heavy heart because I know that some people
Speaker 1: are not happy with me right now. And you ask, well, why,
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff? Why would anybody be unhappy with you? Is
Speaker 1: it because for the last three or four years you've
Speaker 1: called out a whole generation of woke, imbecilic people who
Speaker 1: are obviously either mental patients. We've driven the car of
Speaker 1: their life in their mind so far off the trail
Speaker 1: of common sense that they're in another galaxy right now, mentally, spiritually. Perhaps. No,
Speaker 1: it's not because of that, not because I called him out.
Speaker 1: Is it because I supported Donald Trump? AND's it'll do
Speaker 1: our forty seventh president of these United States? I voted
Speaker 1: for him now three times two out of three, ain't bad?
Speaker 1: Meat Loaf said that, No, it's not because I'm a
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, even though there are plenty of people walking
Speaker 1: around still with Trump derangement syndrome in our society.
Speaker 2: No, it's not because of that. What could it be?
Speaker 1: Is it because I questioned like many other people at
Speaker 1: the time, when we were just told to sit down
Speaker 1: and shut up and the science was settled that the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen mRNA vaccine was both safe and effective. Nothing
Speaker 1: to worry about here, nothing to see here, but we
Speaker 1: know from Pfizer's own documents. And now today the CIA
Speaker 1: came out and said, with a low level of confidence,
Speaker 1: they now support the theory of a lab leak as
Speaker 1: to how the virus got out into the world, something
Speaker 1: that was called, well, the conspiracy theory just a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago that I and a lot of people
Speaker 1: without any kind of you know, firsthand knowledge, have been
Speaker 1: saying is a matter of common sense. They were doing
Speaker 1: the gain of function research. It was there at Wuhan.
Speaker 1: It leaked out of that lab carelessness perhaps, or maybe
Speaker 1: something more nefarious.
Speaker 2: Who knows.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of the conspiracy theories have turned out
Speaker 1: to be like true in the last four or five years.
Speaker 1: We've all been watching an unfold. Are people mad at
Speaker 1: me for that?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no no no.
Speaker 1: Some people are upset with me because I'm a Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs fan. You know, I moved to Cincinnati in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. I followed the Bengals because they were
Speaker 1: the hometown team I didn't grow up with my whole life,
Speaker 1: but I adopted them as my NFL team in the city.
Speaker 1: Should support the local teams, right right well, after years
Speaker 1: of malaise and disappointment, I saw Patrick Mahomes play for
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, just as he was beginning what
Speaker 1: has become a Hall of Fame career, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I like that team. I like Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: And this is before they won the first of their
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, which there may be a third coming up
Speaker 1: just a week from next Sunday on February fifth. Now
Speaker 1: people are upset. The phone just absolutely blowing up. People
Speaker 1: very very unhappy.
Speaker 2: My friend.
Speaker 1: Rick Pisqually, for example, I just text him at about
Speaker 1: eleven minutes after ten last night, after the game had
Speaker 1: finished in Kansas City, had ensured the fact that they
Speaker 1: do have a shot, a real shot to three pete
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I said, this is all I said,
Speaker 1: doing the Trump dance right now. He texts me back,
Speaker 1: happy for you, thumbs down. Not all in Ky, yelled
Speaker 1: at me. He is unhappy with me strictly based on
Speaker 1: the football team that I happened to be cheering for,
Speaker 1: and I just don't think that that is fair. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, I understand people are their strong allegiances
Speaker 1: to the Bengals, and if you grew up here and
Speaker 1: you're a lifelong Cincinnatian, I totally get it. There are
Speaker 1: plenty of people who grew up here a lifelong Cincinnatians
Speaker 1: who are not Bingals fans. They like the Stillers, which
Speaker 1: is just atroacious. Anybody who likes the Steelers. I know
Speaker 1: they won a lot of Super Bowls, a lot of
Speaker 1: supposed great teams over the course of time, the immaculate reception,
Speaker 1: you know, Terry Bradshaw, Ben Roethlisberger. I get it, I understand,
Speaker 1: But not in Cincinnati. You don't live in Pittsburgh. You
Speaker 1: live in Cincinnati. I know people that root for the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. The pack is back all around the country.
Speaker 1: It never left. I saw I was driving down the
Speaker 1: road in Newport yesterday and a guy in this little
Speaker 1: Chevy spark That's another story, entirely little weenie car.
Speaker 2: But he was obviously a Packers.
Speaker 1: Fan, back the pack and Packers owner. He may own
Speaker 1: a share of the Green Bay Packers, which is really cool,
Speaker 1: unique that the fans actually have a real piece of
Speaker 1: the team, not just from a fans perspective, but as
Speaker 1: an owner's perspective. People who are Packers fans all over
Speaker 1: the country, not just in Cincinnati. There are people who
Speaker 1: like Dallas here who grew up in Cincinnati, Cincinnati all
Speaker 1: their life. Bengals. Now, give me the Cowboys. How about
Speaker 1: them boys? You want to talk about a franchise that
Speaker 1: has yielded disappointment after disappointment after disappointment over the last
Speaker 1: but almost thirty years, the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: But I saw the Chiefs play and I said, you
Speaker 1: know what. And this was before the Bengals had drafted
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I gave up on them too early, perhaps,
Speaker 1: But people are not. You may be listening to this
Speaker 1: just seething right now. I mean the blood vessels popping
Speaker 1: out in your eyes, your eyes bulging out, the creases
Speaker 1: on your brow. You probably have tuned out already if
Speaker 1: you're that mad at me. But you know, come on,
Speaker 1: it's just a game. And somebody else asked me because
Speaker 1: I predicted over the weekend wrongly by the way, that
Speaker 1: Washington was going to surprise, shock, upset, Philadelphia, and it
Speaker 1: was absolutely the other way around. Philadelphia didn't surprise anybody.
Speaker 1: They just rolled over the Commanders. But I also predicted
Speaker 1: the Chiefs would beat the Bills last night, and lo
Speaker 1: and behold, I was right. So again I'm batting about
Speaker 1: five hundred there. But I also predicted a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in which the Washington Commanders, with the upstart rookie quarterback
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, would somehow surprise and upset the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs on their way to three Super Bowls in a row.
Speaker 1: I think that the Eagles have a very good chance
Speaker 1: to knock off the Chiefs, even if the Philadelphia mayor
Speaker 1: can't spell the name of their team, especially when it's
Speaker 1: on a banner behind her. So anyway, very excited for
Speaker 1: my Chiefs to go to the Super Bowl. And those
Speaker 1: of you who are tasting the bitterness of sour grapes
Speaker 1: this morning, just not that you were rooting for the Bills,
Speaker 1: but because the Chiefs won. Sorry, sorry about your luck.
Speaker 1: Have a good show tonight, and we will begin that
Speaker 1: with my friend Peter Bronson for a conversation that should
Speaker 1: stretch until about ten o'clock. Author and lawyer Rick Robinson,
Speaker 1: who is a DC animal will be. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was in Washington for a long time. He was in
Speaker 1: the corridors of power. He knows how it works, and
Speaker 1: that's why he's kind of leary of Donald Trump, like
Speaker 1: the rest of the Washington Swamp. He'll be with us
Speaker 1: after ten. We have Andy Furman coming up, maybe a
Speaker 1: chat with the wild Man aj Rice, who's a publicity
Speaker 1: guru for Publius pr and.
Speaker 2: Much more.
Speaker 1: Lee Shi La Mish will come back for a second
Speaker 1: visit to tell us a little bit more about what
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist government is doing to the dance and
Speaker 1: performance members of the chen Yune Dance Troupe, which is
Speaker 1: currently in its annual tour through the United States, and
Speaker 1: a whole lot more so. It is the Nightcap. Don't
Speaker 1: be mad with me just because I happen to like
Speaker 1: the Red and Gold that plays their home football games
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium and will be heading to New Orleans
Speaker 1: to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles for Super Bowl
Speaker 1: fifty nine in just less than two weeks. Don't be
Speaker 1: mad at me, you know, don't hate the player, hate
Speaker 1: the game. Peter Bronson and the beginning of our conversation
Speaker 1: coming up next on the Nightcap on seven hundred WLW. Graciousness,
Speaker 1: we deliver Peter Bronson in this first hour of this
Speaker 1: nightcap tonight on seven hundred WLW and Pete all was
Speaker 1: great to talk to you, you know, both you and
Speaker 1: Rick Robinson, who's on later, we have just this great
Speaker 1: back and forth kind of chemistry. I always have a
Speaker 1: good time together and a good time and occasionally there's
Speaker 1: something that somebody should should hear before they die. But
Speaker 1: occasionally we'll see if tonight is one of those occasions.
Speaker 4: Well, it's good to be with you. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 4: I don't usually stay up this late, right.
Speaker 1: Well, I you know generally I don't. Either I've slept
Speaker 1: through three or four nightcaps. Well I probably will too.
Speaker 2: I mean I was still talking to my wife.
Speaker 1: Calls me out for that all the time. Sorry, did
Speaker 1: I say anything unintelligible? Hopefully right. So I do want
Speaker 1: to get into the first week of Trump sometime between
Speaker 1: now and ten o'clock, and just what a whirlwind, oh
Speaker 1: unbelievable of activity. Whether you agree with the agenda and
Speaker 1: the policies that he's pushing forward, or whether you disagree
Speaker 1: with everything that Trump does, you've got to marvel at
Speaker 1: the man and his energy.
Speaker 2: Just absolutely no, no kidding.
Speaker 4: Nobody knew government could move so fast. It reminds me
Speaker 4: of when I was a kid. I had one of
Speaker 4: those little dimestar turtles. You know, they're about the size
Speaker 4: of a fifty cent piece. Yeah, and I fired a
Speaker 4: cap gun next to one, and that that little bugger
Speaker 4: took off like lightning. And I was like, man, I
Speaker 4: didn't know turtles were that fast. And there's your government
Speaker 4: under Trump. It's like he fires the gun and now
Speaker 4: take off running. Who knew that our US government could
Speaker 4: within hours, within an hour of his inauguration, when he's
Speaker 4: wore to be to defend our borders. Within an hour,
Speaker 4: the US military was landing on the border. Who knew
Speaker 4: that could happen? This has always been the role of
Speaker 4: the US military. The fact that it was prevented from
Speaker 4: from happening shows you the willful intent of invading our country,
Speaker 4: a sovereign nation with foreigners strictly not for business purposes,
Speaker 4: not for the economy, but for voting purposes. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: tells you everything you need to know when the US
Speaker 4: the federal government's first job, according to the Constitution, is
Speaker 4: to provide for the common defense. Provide for the common
Speaker 4: defense of the country. That's first. Promote the general welfare
Speaker 4: is second, and people get those confused. Yeah, provide general Well, no,
Speaker 4: promote general welfare, which means maintaining your currency and stuff
Speaker 4: like that. But provide for the common defense. And meanwhile,
Speaker 4: as has been stated so superbly by Donald Trump and
Speaker 4: the others in the administration, it's time to stop defending
Speaker 4: other countries' borders and start defending our own.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 4: It also is exposing how for decades our federal leaders,
Speaker 4: leaders in air quotes, have been hiding behind all these
Speaker 4: rules and regulations to basically do nothing. So their answer
Speaker 4: to every problem is, well, we're going to get together
Speaker 4: and have a discussion about forming a committee that might
Speaker 4: consider the establishment of a task force to eventually get
Speaker 4: around to think about forming another committee.
Speaker 1: We're ten thousand people a day flowing freely, unvetted through
Speaker 1: our southern border with Mexico. Pete, I know, and may orcus,
Speaker 1: there's no crisis. Our board border is secure.
Speaker 4: Talk about oh my gosh, secure for sanity for insanity,
Speaker 4: you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, insecure is what it was. Yeah, anyway, please continue, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, we're approaching.
Speaker 4: According to I was watching the weekend talk shows, Greg
Speaker 4: Abbott said, we're approaching deportations of a thousand a day
Speaker 4: and it's just going to keep growing and then you're
Speaker 4: going to see self deportation. But the main thing is
Speaker 4: the people that are being deported. It's it's a shock.
Speaker 4: I think most Americans are waking up to the idea
Speaker 4: what these people were here among us. We're talking about pedophiles,
Speaker 4: child rapists, murderers, people who have repeated recidibus criminals who
Speaker 4: have caused all kinds of mayhem in communities and terrorized
Speaker 4: people and killed people, and they've been allowed to just
Speaker 4: keep going back to do it.
Speaker 2: And finally they're on the planes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, finally they're on the planes going out instead of
Speaker 1: on the planes come in. That was crucial when Donald
Speaker 1: Trump one of his first executive orders was to end
Speaker 1: that CPB app. Yeah, the phone app that people were
Speaker 1: just getting on planes and being flown all over the
Speaker 1: country is so funny. We're all going to have to
Speaker 1: have a real ideed to fly after May and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five in Kentucky and many other states around the country.
Speaker 1: But these illegals can fly anywhere they want to with
Speaker 1: no identification at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how what the hell does that work? And try
Speaker 2: and figure this one.
Speaker 4: It just is mind blowing that for all that garbage
Speaker 4: we went through with the COVID protocols where you couldn't
Speaker 4: fly unless you could prove that you'd taken the JAB,
Speaker 4: where you had to go through steps and layers of
Speaker 4: personalize identification. But let's just open the border to millions
Speaker 4: of people who don't have any vaccinations, not just.
Speaker 2: COVID, and then any vaccine.
Speaker 1: And then let's end Title forty two, which was a
Speaker 1: COVID era safeguard, right been put in place, isn't it just.
Speaker 4: The insanity has been breathtaking, and it's so refreshing to
Speaker 4: see a leader in the White House again, right. I mean,
Speaker 4: the contrast with Biden is a pretty low bar because
Speaker 4: he is basically not even there, taking naps all day.
Speaker 4: We don't know who was in charge, probably Obama and Jill, but.
Speaker 5: But he was.
Speaker 2: He was the president in name only.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go, you heard a rhinos. He was
Speaker 4: a po oh, no kidding. But the contrast of Trump,
Speaker 4: even to all the presidents who came before. I think
Speaker 4: that's why we saw so much discomfort among people like GW.
Speaker 4: Bush at the inauguration, awkward body language, just said he
Speaker 4: was not happy to be there.
Speaker 2: He didn't like what he was hearing.
Speaker 4: But the contrast makes all these other leaders look like
Speaker 4: total slackers and incompetent.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, if you were, if you're a career
Speaker 1: warmonger just for the sake of the almighty dollar, Like
Speaker 1: someone could say, George W. Bush, you know, considering who
Speaker 1: his vice president was. Yeah, and is and and is
Speaker 1: still a thorn in the side of people who want
Speaker 1: us to concentrate on America first instead of all these
Speaker 1: foreign wars spending all this money. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you if you saw the and I didn't watch it
Speaker 1: at the time. I saw clips from it afterwards Face
Speaker 1: the Nation with JD.
Speaker 2: Vanchist.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, some clips, Yeah, really good. I mean, he
Speaker 4: is so fast on his feet, but he's so he's
Speaker 4: such a gentleman.
Speaker 2: About it, right, That's that's the key.
Speaker 4: He's never insulting her, hostile, or he just comes across
Speaker 4: very patient. But let me set you straight. For example,
Speaker 4: you quoted me, but you didn't offer the whole quote.
Speaker 4: You didn't include the part where I mentioned gray areas
Speaker 4: around pardons. I mean, it's really fun and refreshing to
Speaker 4: see that. And maybe, for the first time in many,
Speaker 4: many decades, I actually have hoped that maybe our traditional
Speaker 4: media is getting a wake up call and may make
Speaker 4: some changes to be more balanced and less totally lopsided
Speaker 4: for the left.
Speaker 2: I think you agree. I know you agree with me.
Speaker 1: I don't worship at the throne of Donald Trump, right,
Speaker 1: I worship at the throne of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: Amen, brother, But don't put your faith in princes of
Speaker 2: this world. No, no, the kingdoms or principalities, because God
Speaker 2: is over all of that. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: However, it's a heck of a nice Like you said,
Speaker 1: what a refreshing change to have. And you know what
Speaker 1: he's doing exactly what he did the first time, the
Speaker 1: first term. He is trying to fulfill his campaign problems.
Speaker 1: After he's sworn in.
Speaker 2: He keeps his promises. Shock, how can you disagree with that.
Speaker 1: You may disagree with the agenda, but you can't disagree
Speaker 1: with his just his vibrance and the fact that he
Speaker 1: tells you something he means it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's what that's why he gets that's why
Speaker 4: he gets responses within a matter of hours or minutes
Speaker 4: from the President of concause they believe him when he
Speaker 4: says when he says he's going to do something, he
Speaker 4: darn well doesn't. And you know something, I think one
Speaker 4: of the things that really surprised me was when Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 4: This is big for our area because miss McConnell's been
Speaker 4: in the Senate forever and represented Kentucky, and we know
Speaker 4: him well in our region as being one of our
Speaker 4: local delegation to the Senate House. And when he voted
Speaker 4: against Pete Hegseth, I thought, you can you can almost
Speaker 4: imagine some of the nick names and comments Trump would
Speaker 4: come up with to respond to that. When he was asked,
Speaker 4: what do you think about Senator McConnell voting against the
Speaker 4: nomination of Pete Hegseth, And the old Trump would have
Speaker 4: been ready with a nickname, an in turtle or something. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And what do you say this time? He said, I
Speaker 4: don't have any comment on that. The important thing is
Speaker 4: to win, right.
Speaker 2: That was so cool. That is a new my presidential
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. My revenge will be success.
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, Peter Bronson here for the
Speaker 1: next half hour, will take a little quick break and
Speaker 1: come back with more of our conversation on this nightcap
Speaker 1: on this Monday evening, the last of January, on seven hundred,
Speaker 1: WLW his thoughts on politics and immigration and many other
Speaker 1: things books, because he is a wonderful writer. His latest
Speaker 1: is called Promised Land, How the Midwest Was Won, which
Speaker 1: is a page turning history class on how this area
Speaker 1: was formed back in the late seventeen hundreds. Yes, thank you,
Speaker 1: how it was settled. And it was a pretty unsettling
Speaker 1: time to be settling. Something very frightening. Peter Bronson back
Speaker 1: with us, and Pete wanted to ask you maybe a
Speaker 1: couple more things about Trump and the nominations. Steve Bannon,
Speaker 1: and you know whether you have believed in the veracity
Speaker 1: of a Steve Banner or not. Reported on Rumble this
Speaker 1: morning that the mayor of Chicago, who has vowed in
Speaker 1: the face of his own citizens to ignore ice and
Speaker 1: their age to get illegal criminals out of his city,
Speaker 1: supposedly was releasing these illegals who had committed crimes and
Speaker 1: were in jail in Chicago, releasing them from the jails
Speaker 1: and letting them out on the streets. Some Ice can't
Speaker 1: find them. How he's obstructing. If that's true, I think
Speaker 1: that he is guilty of a federal felony.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for aiding and betting and obstructing justice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ironically some of the same charges obstructing official business
Speaker 4: and obstructing justice.
Speaker 2: That's what they filed against the January sixth.
Speaker 4: Yes, somebody may need to be made an example of
Speaker 4: Homan is going to follow up on his promises that
Speaker 4: if you do that.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it. I don't think they've got
Speaker 1: a single cell big enough for JB.
Speaker 4: Pritzker though, Yeah, he needs a double sell Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm sure that you could do a lot with that.
Speaker 4: But you know, one of the things that Holman made,
Speaker 4: the iceman Tom Holman made very clear is that, look,
Speaker 4: you're doing everybody a favor if you let us into
Speaker 4: the jails, because it's safer for us, it's safer for
Speaker 4: the fugitive we're taking into custody, and it's pay for
Speaker 4: the community. Because if these guys are out in the
Speaker 4: community and they're surrounded by their friends and they decided
Speaker 4: to make a stand or to fight back, who's going
Speaker 4: to suffer stray.
Speaker 2: Bullets people in the community.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is so mentally backwards to do that
Speaker 4: kind of thing, to turn criminals onto the streets because
Speaker 4: you think they're better. Would they do that for you
Speaker 4: and I if the federal agencies were if we were fugitives.
Speaker 4: Let's say you're a January sixth protester and they had
Speaker 4: you in jail on a speeding ticket or to duy
Speaker 4: and the Feds say, hey, we know who that person is.
Speaker 2: We want to come pick them up.
Speaker 4: Would they turn that person loose because we don't agree
Speaker 4: with your federal policy?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean January sixth, there's been eighty two year
Speaker 1: old grandmothers right committed no violent acts on January sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and that are still in prison. That's
Speaker 1: just outrageous and the whole justice system on that.
Speaker 4: One of the things JD Events was referring to about
Speaker 4: the gray areas is how the prosecutors acted on ethically.
Speaker 4: They withheld exculpatory evidence. They railroaded these people with favorable
Speaker 4: judges who were willing to give them the most unbelievably
Speaker 4: harsh access to attorneys.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: They were denied the ability to defend themselves on one
Speaker 4: basic US right, self defense right. They were denied that,
Speaker 4: and they were denied the argument in court that they
Speaker 4: were there to exercise their First Amendment rights of protest.
Speaker 4: The judge wouldn't even let them resort to those basic
Speaker 4: rights that are promised in our Bill of Rights.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a reason why Washington, DC can never
Speaker 1: become a state of this country.
Speaker 4: Really, really, I'd rather have Greenland or Canada. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: Canada would be great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'd like to go skiing with that,
Speaker 2: having to use a passport, all kinds of things. Oh sure, sure.
Speaker 1: But I have talked to many J six ers on
Speaker 1: this program and have heard the detailed accounts of the
Speaker 1: obvious agents that were embedded in the crowd trying to gin.
Speaker 6: Stuff up, something like seventeen of them at least, and
Speaker 6: some of them went into the capitol, and some of
Speaker 6: the footage indicates that they were not only in there,
Speaker 6: but they were beckoning, saying come on in, encouraging these
Speaker 6: citizens to come in too.
Speaker 1: The only Capitol police that were injured, and they talk
Speaker 1: about hospitalized Capitol police, some for like scrapes and cuts
Speaker 1: or whatever. The only ones that were assaulted were assaulted
Speaker 1: by people trying to defend themselves that's right, from these
Speaker 1: strong arm, bootstrapped tactics.
Speaker 2: That's what I was hearing.
Speaker 4: I mean, one woman was beaten savagely, and the man
Speaker 4: who stepped in to protect her and took the blows
Speaker 4: from a female Capitol police officer was prosecuted assaulting.
Speaker 2: For assaulting, I talked to his wife. Isn't that incredible?
Speaker 2: And I hope he's out now thanks to Trump's EO. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think most of them are.
Speaker 1: And God bless them, I mean, for everything that they've
Speaker 1: been through. Just it's a sad chapter in American history, it.
Speaker 4: Really is, and we're only beginning to see the beginning
Speaker 4: of it. I think the more is going to come,
Speaker 4: and it's going to be much worse than people expect.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a lot worse than people know
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, just because of the some of the
Speaker 1: inside stuff I've gotten from the people who have been
Speaker 1: to jail, the people who were on the ground that day.
Speaker 4: Oh, in so many areas, there's so much we're gonna
Speaker 4: we're going to be able to not learn. I mean,
Speaker 4: just look at what happened first day. John Ratcliffe releases
Speaker 4: the report that was hidden by Biden that said yes,
Speaker 4: the the lab leak in Wuhan in the cause of COVID.
Speaker 4: I know, and remember not that far back when you
Speaker 4: were not allowed to say that you're a conspiracy theorist, yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, and racist you were you know you ha yeah,
Speaker 2: all of China. You hated Chinese? Yes, yes, remember when
Speaker 2: Trump called it the Let's uh, let's make this very
Speaker 2: very clear.
Speaker 1: There are the Chinese people, and then there is the
Speaker 1: Communist Chinese Party who many members are Yes, absolutely Chinese people,
Speaker 1: but there is that's that's where the similarities end, you know, uh.
Speaker 1: And and you have to be a sheep in China
Speaker 1: or you were thrown in a gulag or worse.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 4: And the the work camps are horrific, the places where
Speaker 4: a lot of these products that we buy so cheaply
Speaker 4: at Walmart are made in work camps where political prisoners
Speaker 4: from Falluon Gong and other organizations, people who are daring
Speaker 4: enough to dare to go out on the street and
Speaker 4: hand out Muslims, people handed out Bibles, Christians thrown into
Speaker 4: these camps and work to death. And in many cases,
Speaker 4: the paper clips and the little toys and gadgets you
Speaker 4: get so cheap on Amazon they're all made in China.
Speaker 2: Those are coming from those work by slave labor. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know we're we're so you know, with our
Speaker 2: own history in this country. You know, slavery is such
Speaker 2: a touchy subject. Yes, but for conveniences, for convenience, if
Speaker 2: it's slavery and China will that's on the other side
Speaker 2: of the world and it's not anybody we know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, I want to buy a ballpoint pen
Speaker 4: for fifteen cents, so.
Speaker 5: Read.
Speaker 2: Don't bother me about that exactly.
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson is our guest for the balance of this
Speaker 1: half hour. I'll tell you what, Pete, I want to
Speaker 1: take a little break and we'll come back and finish.
Speaker 2: And since we've.
Speaker 1: Talked a little bit about books, we'll talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more about books as we continue. And they're really
Speaker 1: important books that everyone should read. In our humble opinions
Speaker 1: and in your humble opinion, it's The Nightcap on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW for Pete's sake, it's Pete Bronson also the
Speaker 1: title of one.
Speaker 7: Of Pete's books. Right, speaking of books, let's talk about
Speaker 7: an important book, an important book that we feel that
Speaker 7: everyone should read.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you can't get to it every day.
Speaker 1: Well that's a shame, but at least on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: The Bible the biggest selling book of all time by
Speaker 1: a long shot. So the New York Times has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with this. God has everything to do with it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It is the greatest story ever told, and it includes
Speaker 1: in our Christian Bibles the New Testament, the New Covenant
Speaker 1: with God through the people, through Jesus Christ, and his
Speaker 1: coming to earth as God's Son.
Speaker 2: I've been noticing, just because.
Speaker 1: I haven't spent I haven't dwelt a whole lot of
Speaker 1: time in Psalms in the old but my favorite, how
Speaker 1: beautiful Psalms is, and how comforting, how comforting, and also
Speaker 1: how important it is as instructions full of wisdom for
Speaker 1: how to live, full of life instructions.
Speaker 2: You ever heard that thing?
Speaker 4: Bible spells basic constructions before leaving Earth.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good. I like that.
Speaker 1: But I read something this weekend and just Psalms one one,
Speaker 1: and it talks about out not sitting on a council
Speaker 1: of mockers, not yeah, you know, And I think about
Speaker 1: all of the things I have said over the years,
Speaker 1: and all of the people I've gone along attacking other people.
Speaker 2: For too.
Speaker 4: It's an editorial writer and columnists, believe me. Yes, I
Speaker 4: mean was like one of the major tools in my belt.
Speaker 2: Don't be a mocker.
Speaker 1: Uh, don't don't be defamatory towards other people. I mean
Speaker 1: that whole message. And here's here's a good message too.
Speaker 1: And it can get lost if you're not thinking about
Speaker 1: if you're not cognizant of.
Speaker 4: And here's the great message that so many people are missing.
Speaker 4: If they don't, they don't get into this wisdom is that, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've mocked a lot of people, but I'm forgiven.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've made mistakes, but I'm forgiven in and over
Speaker 4: and over and over. Indeed, in the past, stuff that
Speaker 4: I did, I'm forgiven. Today, things that I do, I'm forgiven,
Speaker 4: and tomorrow it's Hey, could there be a better message?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: As a Christian, you're right. It's if you believe that
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and you repent
Speaker 2: for your sins and you attempt to follow him. And
Speaker 2: it's an attempt. I don't think that any one among.
Speaker 1: Us who are human beings, have ever been true every
Speaker 1: step of the way on the journey. Yes, many people
Speaker 1: have come close. Well, you know that's why we I
Speaker 1: guess we have saints and people like Sister Teresa and
Speaker 1: and you know, there are a few examples of that.
Speaker 1: But the path, very often, while it's a narrow, is
Speaker 1: never straight, and to walk it completely is not an
Speaker 1: easy thing to do, no matter how much you pray
Speaker 1: or read your Bible.
Speaker 4: Well I would go in this direction, though, which is okay.
Speaker 4: We started by talking about the Bible being the best
Speaker 4: selling book of all time. So what is the best
Speaker 4: selling book in the Bible. It's the Book of John.
Speaker 4: Look of John has been reprinted and circulated more than
Speaker 4: any other book in the Bible because it's the gospel
Speaker 4: of love.
Speaker 2: But it's also the gospel that is so accessible for people.
Speaker 4: Who are just kicking the tires and getting their toe wet.
Speaker 4: Sure the Bible, this is the one that is the
Speaker 4: most accessible in.
Speaker 1: That I mean that one verse. How many times has
Speaker 1: that been reprinted? John three sixteen exactly. Well, here's one
Speaker 1: of my favorites. In John one, it says, to all
Speaker 1: who believe in the name of the Son of God Jesus,
Speaker 1: he gave the right to be children of God. Well,
Speaker 1: that's pretty easy I mean, that's where's the fine print.
Speaker 4: There is no fine print, but it's awfully hard for
Speaker 4: a lot of us. And it was really hard for
Speaker 4: me for a long time to put my pride aside
Speaker 4: and get out of my own way so that I
Speaker 4: could surrender my control that I thought I had, which
Speaker 4: was just an illusion, and give that control up to
Speaker 4: Christ because he's in control anyway. But a lot of people,
Speaker 4: we all have that stumbling block, which is I'm in control,
Speaker 4: and unless I take care of it and do this,
Speaker 4: it's not going to come out. I trip over it
Speaker 4: all the time, Peter, We always do, and we keep
Speaker 4: reverting back to that. But let me circle back to
Speaker 4: all who believe the right.
Speaker 1: How about the verse from Second Corinthians. It's very simple,
Speaker 1: it's very short. Grace is sufficient for you.
Speaker 2: And there you go. Grace is sufficient.
Speaker 1: The grace of God is bigger than your sin. Just
Speaker 1: give it up, relinquished control in your everyday life, and
Speaker 1: it will be easier to walk that path we were
Speaker 1: talking about. Yes, as far as other books on your
Speaker 1: is there anything that you've read recently that has tripped
Speaker 1: to trigger.
Speaker 4: Or oh, I'm reading one right now by Eric Larson
Speaker 4: it's called The Splendid in the Vile and it's all
Speaker 4: about Churchill during the Blitz of London. Oh wow, and
Speaker 4: it's pretty good. One of the things I'm seeing is
Speaker 4: a really cool parallel between Churchill and Trump. Urill did
Speaker 4: when he became Prime minister. He was called a crude barbarian.
Speaker 4: He was such an outsider. He didn't fit with Neville
Speaker 4: Chamberlain and the appeasers who wanted to make a deal
Speaker 4: with Germany.
Speaker 2: He was too brash, he was all the things they
Speaker 2: said about Trump.
Speaker 4: In fact, one of his critics even compared him to
Speaker 4: some of the Nazis.
Speaker 3: So it was.
Speaker 1: Amazing when you're it's the last thing you are, they
Speaker 1: call you what what.
Speaker 2: They're actually supporting exactly.
Speaker 4: And what he did is put he put the government
Speaker 4: what we'd call now warp speed or overdrive. And they
Speaker 4: said it was suddenly not unusual to see these stuffy
Speaker 4: old men in their shirts and tails, the government officials
Speaker 4: running down the halls because Churchill had asked for a
Speaker 4: report and he wanted it now. And I just get
Speaker 4: that picture in my mind, and that's what I see
Speaker 4: in our government now, which is when these guys when
Speaker 4: his cabinet takes over, you're going to see a lot
Speaker 4: of stuffy people. If they're not out hitting the bricks,
Speaker 4: they're going to be running down the halls to get
Speaker 4: these things done, or they will be on the bricks exactly.
Speaker 2: He has a lot of experience firing people. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: good at it, and he doesn't mind doing it on TV.
Speaker 4: No, no, yeah, you know when he says things that
Speaker 4: he says that are really much more mannerally and courteous
Speaker 4: than he used to be. When he talks to the
Speaker 4: mayor of Los Angeles, for example, or confronts Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 4: or talks directly to people in Congress who are his opponents,
Speaker 4: he is more courteous. But if you can see what
Speaker 4: he's doing right there on camera, can you only imagine
Speaker 4: what he says behind in his office.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: And the people that are trying to resist this right now,
Speaker 4: they don't know what to do.
Speaker 2: Their heads are spinning.
Speaker 4: He has flooded the zone, which is a lot like
Speaker 4: what Obama was doing, introduced a new thing every day
Speaker 4: and people can't catch up with it. And now you
Speaker 4: have the White House Press cort complaining that they're getting
Speaker 4: worn out and they're tired and exhausted.
Speaker 1: Well, they've had a cardboard cutout of a president the
Speaker 1: last four years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, they're lazy. Yeah, absolutely, And now what
Speaker 2: it went about the federal employees who have to come
Speaker 2: back to the office to actually get paid. How about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got all these executive orders. Which one do
Speaker 4: I choose that's going to be the end of the world.
Speaker 2: Well, I think a good beginning is what we have seen.
Speaker 1: Yes, in the first really good Peter Bronson, Such a
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you be.
Speaker 4: My pleasure to be here, Gary, Jeff I as always,
Speaker 4: all right, thanks a lot much more of the nightcap,
Speaker 4: including Rick Robinson, my second favorite author.
Speaker 2: Hey, give me my regards.
Speaker 1: I will definitely come it up next to the term
Speaker 1: of forty seven President Donald John Trump.
Speaker 2: And there's been a lot going on. I figured, you know,
Speaker 2: it'd be nice to have a guy who I have
Speaker 2: a fairly decent kind of camaraderie and and we talk
Speaker 2: well together. There's good chemistry here. Who was in Washington,
Speaker 2: d C.
Speaker 1: For a long time, knows a lot of the players,
Speaker 1: or knew a lot of the players at his particular
Speaker 1: given time, but also knows how Washington works or doesn't,
Speaker 1: and so for many Donald J. Trump is a threat
Speaker 1: to how Washington works, the usual mechanisms of it. And
Speaker 1: for one man to take on this big machine, that's
Speaker 1: why he's got backup. That's why he's got people like
Speaker 1: Pete se Hegsath who's now been confirmed as a Defense secretary,
Speaker 1: and others that are following in his philosophical footsteps. And
Speaker 1: also they're committed to carrying out the agenda that he
Speaker 1: campaigned on. But again, official Washington still not jazzed about
Speaker 1: the changes that are proposed and the changes it may
Speaker 1: be coming. And to talk about that and much more.
Speaker 1: My friend and lawyer and the author of the book
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight, we've had him on many times and
Speaker 1: back again tonight for this hour.
Speaker 8: Rick Robinson, helly, Hey, Gary, Jeff, it is good to
Speaker 8: be with you here on the nightcap. How come on
Speaker 8: the nightcap. I don't get to bring him my own
Speaker 8: bourbon or like I can't make a Manhattan to sit here,
Speaker 8: and we can't get liquored up on the nightcap. No,
Speaker 8: feel like that should be a be a requisite that
Speaker 8: if you're going to come on there can drink liquered
Speaker 8: up It's.
Speaker 2: Just like any other bar. If you drink, you got
Speaker 2: to You've got to drink.
Speaker 1: You got to imbibe on what we're selling, and and
Speaker 1: so you get you can't. I mean I I bartend
Speaker 1: as well, right, I know that, but so you can
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't come to visit me at Huddles
Speaker 1: and bring your own bottle of bourbon just because it's
Speaker 1: something that you like that we may not have.
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to do that in the same way
Speaker 2: I thought you.
Speaker 8: I mean like it Huddles, you would you would bring
Speaker 8: a bottle for me. It just it just doesn't seem right.
Speaker 2: Garrett. I am I am first and foremost in that
Speaker 2: particular venture a businessman.
Speaker 1: I'm a bartender. I'm there to sell booze, not give
Speaker 1: it away. I allow you to bring in whatever you
Speaker 1: want to off the streets.
Speaker 8: That's what we need is a live show, then a Huddles.
Speaker 8: I think you know the first hour would.
Speaker 1: Be the producer would be hitting the dump button every
Speaker 1: five minutes.
Speaker 8: Well, the first hour would be okay, second and third
Speaker 8: hour get a little testy.
Speaker 1: Well, it all depends really on whether you're drinking brown
Speaker 1: liquor or white liquor.
Speaker 2: Generally, that is right. So tell me about what what.
Speaker 1: Are your observations of the first week hitting the ground
Speaker 1: running with Donald tr Hitting the.
Speaker 8: Ground running with Donald Trump. First off, they did a
Speaker 8: whole bunch of stuff. As you know, they went their
Speaker 8: order after order after order. I think a lot of
Speaker 8: it is substantive and some of it is ceremonial, substantive
Speaker 8: for the fact that you know they're want to start
Speaker 8: the deportation, substantive that they want to do. The deportations
Speaker 8: have already started, that's right, right, And so Columbia just
Speaker 8: ACQUI asked after they said they wouldn't take their people back,
Speaker 8: we're not going to take them back. Well, you're going
Speaker 8: to get that's the point we're going to ding you with.
Speaker 8: Are these tariffs really we promise.
Speaker 2: We will really?
Speaker 8: Okay, maybe then I will take them back all you know. Well,
Speaker 8: first off, Garrett, you have let's look at the dynamic
Speaker 8: of that particular instance, because that's one of the things
Speaker 8: that happened this week that I think is pretty interesting
Speaker 8: is that you had diplomacy via Twitter X. I'm sorry,
Speaker 8: I'm not with all the cool kids. It's it's we'll
Speaker 8: still call it Twitter people. You had an ex diplomacy,
Speaker 8: because what you had was you had the Columbia Prime
Speaker 8: Minister issuing a statement going not going, to Trump issuing
Speaker 8: a statement going twenty five percent seems put like a
Speaker 8: round number to me. In the Columbian president did I
Speaker 8: say no, No, What I really meant was you're welcome here.
Speaker 8: So we're seeing, in fact, what's happening with the teriff
Speaker 8: issue is that the threat of the tariff itself and
Speaker 8: the threat of using it is what Trump is using
Speaker 8: to get his way in many of these these instances,
Speaker 8: and it's going to continue to use it. I think
Speaker 8: what's happening there Will he actually impose one of these
Speaker 8: Well we'll have to wait and see, but that's what
Speaker 8: he's using as as bad. Now you know where the
Speaker 8: that they only are an export company our country. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: I mean they used to be just cocaine. But well
Speaker 8: but it's one of the few countries we actually have
Speaker 8: a trade surplus with. Yeah, you know, so they want
Speaker 8: to make sure that, you know, if they suddenly got tariffs,
Speaker 8: that would actually be an economy that would probably just collapse.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So, well, of those of the language much like and
Speaker 8: it was pointed out much like Canada. Well, I'm all
Speaker 8: for Canada becoming a state, and you know why because
Speaker 8: I want Gedty Lee to be a United States Senator.
Speaker 8: So I mean, can you imagine my wife would be
Speaker 8: right there in your corner. She's the biggest Rush fan
Speaker 8: to this day. Yes, I know that, and she when
Speaker 8: I first brought this up with you, I could hear
Speaker 8: in the back ear I'm giggling because it does need
Speaker 8: to happen. I mean, we need Getty Lee in the
Speaker 8: United States Senate. For those who do not go Getty Lee,
Speaker 8: as ask your parents.
Speaker 2: But the front man of perhaps the most and this
Speaker 2: is this is what ZZ top in the mixt uh
Speaker 2: the most accomplished three piece band in rock and roll history, truthfully,
Speaker 2: And you know, until I saw him perform live one night,
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how great on the axe he was.
Speaker 1: Well, he's got the base, he's got the foot pedals,
Speaker 1: he's playing organ and stuff and he's singing. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I can barely sing. Choose McConnell will be out,
Speaker 1: Getty Lee will be in. Who's at Lee?
Speaker 8: McConnell will be out after after this term, Getty Lee
Speaker 8: can come.
Speaker 2: In the membership. Are you gonna have him moved to Kentucky. Well, no,
Speaker 2: we're going to make Canada the fifty first state.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, McConnell will be out, but we we
Speaker 1: need we need something besides the turtle in Kentucky. Well, sorry,
Speaker 1: I I have never been really enamored. And people always say, well,
Speaker 1: he kept Garrit Merrick Garland from being a Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 1: He did that, and he helped with all these other
Speaker 1: judicial nominees in Trump's first term.
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is a disgrace not to the Republican Party,
Speaker 1: but to the citizens of Kentucky, who overwhelmed voted for
Speaker 1: Trump and by Osmoses voted for his agenda and the
Speaker 1: people he picked his nominees to lead.
Speaker 8: Let's go right into that, because that's where the rest
Speaker 8: of the week leads. When you talked about Trump having
Speaker 8: a great first week, you talk about all the people
Speaker 8: going through the confirmation process. They put the easies up first, right,
Speaker 8: because you want a couple of victories before you go
Speaker 8: and see, you get Marco Rubio, you know, one hundred
Speaker 8: percent vote, you get everybody else going through, then you
Speaker 8: get gonna put Egsteth out there just to see where
Speaker 8: the roadblocks are.
Speaker 1: Well, heg Seth's hearing was actually before the vote on
Speaker 1: hag Seth. He was the first one that they they grilled. Well,
Speaker 1: but I mean onto the floor committee, right on committee,
Speaker 1: but into the floor. Yeah, so now you have what
Speaker 1: I think what that was a test for was coming
Speaker 1: up with uh with RFK because the Democrats don't trust
Speaker 1: Gabbard is going to be tough to the Republicans don't
Speaker 1: trust r Fkh. Tulsea Gabbard, I think is is You're right,
Speaker 1: is going to be be a problem, but it's going
Speaker 1: to have less of a questionable policy attitude.
Speaker 8: Okay, she went she you know, is she a Ruski?
Speaker 8: I don't think she is fine. Okay, that's going to
Speaker 8: be the question. I think she's hot when well, as
Speaker 8: long as we know that's a qualification for you to
Speaker 8: be to be a cabinet secretary, right, Well, at least
Speaker 8: if you're.
Speaker 2: Going to have people that are incompetent or not doing
Speaker 2: their job, you want them to at least look good.
Speaker 8: Well, so that means I can nominate if I'm president,
Speaker 8: I want to nominate me Acunas for any and every
Speaker 8: spot that I can who Miacunas, who's on the actress.
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with me Acunas. Who she she was
Speaker 2: on she was on the seventy show. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, so.
Speaker 8: You know when you know, I mean so I want
Speaker 8: her as as you know, as my point I was
Speaker 8: making the point is just aesthetically pleasing, Yes she is.
Speaker 8: But I think it's all last week was partially a
Speaker 8: setup to see where the landmines are for our FK,
Speaker 8: because again the Democrats don't trusting, Republicans don't trusting. They
Speaker 8: threw all of that out there, you know, when it
Speaker 8: comes to with all due respect in your and I
Speaker 8: don't necessarily disagree with your your your full opinion on
Speaker 8: on McConnell. But there's one word that is going to
Speaker 8: come up over and over again in this hearing, and
Speaker 8: that is the word polio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that has been debunked by Robert F. Kennedy
Speaker 1: Junior himself in discussions about polio vaccines. This is this
Speaker 1: is a trope that's being laid out there as as
Speaker 1: a part of the hindrance, as an obstacle because Big
Speaker 1: Pharma does not want our FK Junior, and Big AG
Speaker 1: and big Food does not want RFK Junior to be
Speaker 1: the head of HHS because he is simply trying to
Speaker 1: make America healthy again by changing their business model. Right now,
Speaker 1: their business model is promoted. Come up with something promoted.
Speaker 2: And I think that pharmaceutical companies should never be able
Speaker 2: to advertise on TV for prescription drugs the way they do,
Speaker 2: and I hope that they get rid of that, I
Speaker 2: really do. But but then he is, he.
Speaker 1: Has he has first and and and and when these
Speaker 1: questions have come up, he's always said he's not against
Speaker 1: the polio vaccine. He's been vaccinated for many things. He's
Speaker 1: not against measles or anything like that. He just wants
Speaker 1: full advice and consent to the American public about the
Speaker 1: side effects and the possible downfalls of conceal dooming these
Speaker 1: from patient to patient because many times they're glossed over.
Speaker 1: And as you know, pharmaceutical companies who developed these vaccines,
Speaker 1: like far Affiser, cannot be sued for the ill effects
Speaker 1: that their products bring to people, you know, alongside the
Speaker 1: supposed benefits.
Speaker 2: But he's all that, he's not, He's not that's going
Speaker 2: to vaccine.
Speaker 8: That's going to be the tough hurdle for Trump this
Speaker 8: coming week is to get and and I don't thin
Speaker 8: I don't think I think Telsea Gabbard will end up
Speaker 8: being confirmed. I don't think that's going to be an
Speaker 8: issue in the end. That makes me feel sick. I
Speaker 8: know that it makes you feel warm, and you'll feel
Speaker 8: warm and fuzzy inside. But uh, I actually think the
Speaker 8: problem is going to be, you know, well r f
Speaker 8: K and be confirmed. I think that as a yet
Speaker 8: to be seen that's the biggest hurdle. You know, they're
Speaker 8: thus far in all in all of this in the
Speaker 8: coming week.
Speaker 1: Talking to Rick Robinson on the night Cap about Trump's
Speaker 1: first week here in this half hour on seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 1: and I tell you I've got I've got problems with
Speaker 1: RFK Jr. On his stances on other things. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a Green New Deal nut. And and Tulsi Gabbard
Speaker 1: does not have many of the values of say the
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus or the Conservative Caucus of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: in Congress. And she's going to face some opposition there
Speaker 1: because there are people, like you said, don't fully trust
Speaker 1: her on either side.
Speaker 2: And that's with both of them.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, you have somebody that's flip flopped on
Speaker 8: parties on both sides there immediately. And here's for the
Speaker 8: other side, their own side as well as the other side.
Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
Speaker 1: In Tulci Gabbert and RFK Junior both said I didn't
Speaker 1: leave the Democratic Party. They they left me as far
Speaker 1: as freedom of speech and as far as the because
Speaker 1: all in all, and you've been in Washington. You were
Speaker 1: in Washington for how many years, Rick, twelve years total?
Speaker 1: Twelve years total, so and somewhere in politics ever are
Speaker 1: in between, right exactly. But my point is, you know
Speaker 1: as well as I do, in fact better than I
Speaker 1: do that in Washington, d C. It's all about this,
Speaker 1: It's all about about gets all about all about the Yale.
Speaker 1: So yeah, here's the here's the deal. I think that
Speaker 1: it's looking forward for Donald Trump and for the Republican
Speaker 1: Party when they when they look at all of these,
Speaker 1: is that the first vote on that we had last
Speaker 1: week on Pete was in fact a loyalty test.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 8: Okay, we know we have three that have gone the
Speaker 8: other way. Now they're saying in the White House, so
Speaker 8: who else? Who else do they have the potential to
Speaker 8: lose on these other two and what can they do
Speaker 8: to get them back? Well, threat is basically what you say.
Speaker 8: It's like, Okay, I'm going to primary you sure, come
Speaker 8: come the next time.
Speaker 2: McConnell's done. So.
Speaker 8: The one thing that I find interesting about all of
Speaker 8: this was that, see, I worked on Capitol Hill when
Speaker 8: Reagan and Bush were presidents during those two terms, but
Speaker 8: the Democrats controlled the House and the Senate, or at
Speaker 8: least one of they controlled the House. I was on
Speaker 8: the House side when when I worked up there, And
Speaker 8: what was funny was that during that time frame, the
Speaker 8: argument was of the Republican Party was damn it, Reagan
Speaker 8: and Bush don't care about what we say. We're the minority,
Speaker 8: and it was very hard to get the attention of
Speaker 8: the White House.
Speaker 2: My boss did a couple of times.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he brought a motion on the floor one time
Speaker 8: to cut off funding to Israel, which got the attention
Speaker 8: of Ronald Reagan real quick. When when actually the motion
Speaker 8: was granted UH and suddenly we got everybody's attention of going, oh,
Speaker 8: you want to discuss that other issue now, yeah, we
Speaker 8: just got off some funding funding for UH, for R
Speaker 8: and D credits Israel. Now, what would you like to
Speaker 8: talk about well, sure, we'll lift our objection. I think
Speaker 8: Trump trying to do stuff like that to get the
Speaker 8: president's attention.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 1: But Trump is playing this game himself right so now
Speaker 1: because because and it's Rick, I swear it's because of
Speaker 1: his first term, and he's exactly and seeing how how
Speaker 1: it goes. And he's a hardball business guy anyway, and
Speaker 1: actually we should talk to anybody.
Speaker 8: And actually sitting now, the year put him in our
Speaker 8: sitting now. The term put him in a better position
Speaker 8: to do what he's doing right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh, I think because he's watching what's happening. He's watching
Speaker 8: what's going on. I think the most important thing that
Speaker 8: he's using right now is that he's using the vice
Speaker 8: president in the House and the Senate to try and
Speaker 8: with those arms to try and get those votes, you know,
Speaker 8: speaking of the vice president.
Speaker 1: And I said this to somebody the night that they
Speaker 1: announced on November fifth, the early morning hours of November sixth,
Speaker 1: that Trump was the winner. I said, thus begins the
Speaker 1: presidential race for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2: And jd.
Speaker 1: Vance is going to be very upfront and center, as
Speaker 1: opposed to most vice presidents or background they go to
Speaker 1: state events. You know they're there to support the president,
Speaker 1: but they're not in the limelight. And the fact that
Speaker 1: Trump maybe a bit of a narcissist will allow jd
Speaker 1: Vance to be out there and be forward because jd
Speaker 1: Vance is campaigning right now for the nomination in twenty
Speaker 1: eight don't you say.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, So many vice presidents are just sent to
Speaker 8: horrible places. I remember the jokes that were in the
Speaker 8: pipeline when Nixon was sent to Caracas in the middle
Speaker 8: of violence and riots in the in the country atil
Speaker 8: to American Samoa. The headline for Nixon was Nixon stoned
Speaker 8: and karakaff So not exactly what they expected to the
Speaker 8: tagline for a presidential campaign.
Speaker 1: I tell you what we're closing out on this half hour.
Speaker 1: Rick Robinson is our guest for another few minutes. Another segment, Rick,
Speaker 1: and what I wanted to address since we kind of
Speaker 1: turned to the vice president jd Vance, I want to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about his appearance on Face the
Speaker 1: Nation with Margaret Brennan and him in many cases very
Speaker 1: politely putting her in her place when she tried to
Speaker 1: ask gotcha questions. It was a fun exchange, and we'll
Speaker 1: go through some of that when we come back. Rick Robinson,
Speaker 1: the author of nineteen sixty eight, he brought a copy in.
Speaker 1: I have my own copy at home. This one's for
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson, and we'll make sure he gets it. And
Speaker 1: if you want one, you can find it on Amazon.
Speaker 1: All right, nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 8: It was a full title of that nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 8: A primer for understanding baby boomers. You got kids and
Speaker 8: wonder why you are the way you are. Get him
Speaker 8: a copy of this book. Maybe they'll figure it out. Okay,
Speaker 8: very very well.
Speaker 1: Rick Robinson returns with us after the break and the
Speaker 1: news on the Nightcap on seven hundred WLW. And in
Speaker 1: the last segment, I brought up Dan Quayle, who for
Speaker 1: many was a laughing stock. I don't think he was nearly.
Speaker 2: I think he was.
Speaker 8: He was a wonderful individual. He was a very sincere,
Speaker 8: heartfelt individual.
Speaker 1: Right had some problems public speaking from time to time.
Speaker 8: Had some well, the problems were not with public speaking.
Speaker 8: The problems ended up coming with Jim Baker, Okay, because
Speaker 8: Quayle picked his own vice president or Bush picked his
Speaker 8: own vice president, and from that point forward was submarine
Speaker 8: at every opportunity had by Jim Baker. Do you ever
Speaker 8: say the way named Jim Baker around Dan Quayle. You
Speaker 8: just watched the furrow and the brow come on.
Speaker 2: So tell me the story as best you can about
Speaker 2: how you almost killed Dan. I was almost.
Speaker 8: I was almost the person responsible for the death of
Speaker 8: the Vice president. This was actually post vice president, right
Speaker 8: after we were having a fundraiser for Jim butting up
Speaker 8: at a house in da Voo Park. We're coming back.
Speaker 8: It's the congressman, his wife, one of our staffers, myself, Quail,
Speaker 8: and his staffer. Quail and I are sitting in the
Speaker 8: front seat and we're coming through that section of d
Speaker 8: Voo Park where you go where the trees building is,
Speaker 8: right into where the houses are. And Quail, whenever he traveled,
Speaker 8: one of the things he always said when it came
Speaker 8: into some place was, can you take me someplace to dinner?
Speaker 8: Before we get back on the plane. Can you take
Speaker 8: me someplace that I want to try the local beers.
Speaker 8: Wherever he went, he loved to go someplace and just
Speaker 8: have a fish sandwich and whatever local brews were.
Speaker 2: A hootie or a hooty.
Speaker 8: Well, even the micro bruise at that time. Oldenburg was big.
Speaker 8: So we decided we'd take him down to the Greyhound
Speaker 8: Grill right because we knew they had a couple of
Speaker 8: differently local beers that were being served there, Oldenburg being
Speaker 8: one of them. He wanted to try the Oldenburg. So
Speaker 8: we're coming out of Davoo Park right as you get
Speaker 8: to the first hole on the right of the golf course,
Speaker 8: and in front of us is this big panel van.
Speaker 8: Now I am assuming that it was a panel van
Speaker 8: with a bunch of movers in it that was moving
Speaker 8: into a new house. And if you get up there,
Speaker 8: it's easy to get lost. They come to the stop sign,
Speaker 8: put it in park, and two guys come walking out
Speaker 8: of either side back towards our van. No Secret Service
Speaker 8: know anything else we have in the car. Jim and
Speaker 8: Mary are sitting in the back, Quail sitting in the
Speaker 8: front with me. I'm behind the wheel. Quail looks at
Speaker 8: me and see these guys come over, and his eyes
Speaker 8: are about big as wide two.
Speaker 2: Pee holes in the snow.
Speaker 8: He looks over me and goes, get us the darn
Speaker 8: place out of here, and I immediately just slam the
Speaker 8: gas and we go up onto the dirt back around
Speaker 8: the stone benches nearly flip it down onto the golf
Speaker 8: course back and we get back onto the road. First off,
Speaker 8: Jim Buddy looks around and Jim Buddy is like.
Speaker 2: What the hell are you doing? Richard?
Speaker 8: You knew you were in trouble when he called you Richard,
Speaker 8: and Quayle just looks around and goes, shut up, Jimmy's driving.
Speaker 2: So so yeah, I shut up, Jimmy's driving. That's not great.
Speaker 8: I just I just imagined these two guys were these
Speaker 8: two guys were moving somebody into a house and couldn't
Speaker 8: find the house and looking around going.
Speaker 2: That's wrong with that guy. That's funny, true story, that's funny.
Speaker 1: Uh So Rick, our current vice president J D Vance, who,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, is you know, the campaign for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight is full on right now. It never and
Speaker 1: that election cycle never ends in Washington, DC, it doesn't now.
Speaker 1: It was on Face the Nation yesterday. Margaret Brennan. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've noticed over the past few years,
Speaker 1: but CBS and Margaret Brennan and all of their lackeys
Speaker 1: Jan Schaeffer before him, have not been particularly fond of
Speaker 1: or fans of Donald Trump and giving them fair coverage.
Speaker 1: I think the Alphabet networks coverage of Donald Trump still
Speaker 1: to this day, up until this election, but to this
Speaker 1: day has been about ninety five percent negative and five
Speaker 1: percent positive. They never report anything good about Trump or
Speaker 1: anybody associated with it. But so this is a big
Speaker 1: moment for JD. Vance to face the fire of that
Speaker 1: evil Margaret Brennan, I face the nation and so both
Speaker 1: this is Margaret Brennantungan. So both defense secretaries from President
Speaker 1: Trump's last term were confirmed overwhelmingly ninety percent of the vote.
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 1: It was a tie bipartisan opposition, smallest margin since the
Speaker 1: job was created. You had to break that tie. If
Speaker 1: the nominee can't unite your party, how is it going
Speaker 1: to leave three million people? And again, the candidate united
Speaker 1: the party except for those three people. The vice president
Speaker 1: here's his answer. Well, look, I think Pete is a disruptor,
Speaker 1: a disruptor, and a lot of people don't like that disruption.
Speaker 1: But Margaret, that disruption is incredibly necessary. If you think
Speaker 1: about all those bipartisan massive votes, we have to ask
Speaker 1: ourselves what did they get us? They got us a
Speaker 1: country where we fought many wars over the last forty years,
Speaker 1: but haven't won a war about as long as I've
Speaker 1: been alive. They've got us a military with major recruitment
Speaker 1: crisis that is a fact, a procurement price crisis also
Speaker 1: a fact that's totally functional, where we buy airplanes for
Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars, terrible cost overruns, the delivery
Speaker 1: dates are always delayed. So we need a big change.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Admittedly there are people who don't like that big change,
Speaker 1: but it is necessary and it's explicitly what Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump ran on, and I think part of the reason
Speaker 1: why the American people elected him their forty seventh president.
Speaker 1: That's right off the butt, right off the top, and
Speaker 1: he goes down point by point.
Speaker 8: One of the best things that Donald J. Trump did
Speaker 8: was choose him as his vice president because he you,
Speaker 8: they're laughing. A couple of weeks ago, he explains maga
Speaker 8: better than MAGA. Yeah, I think you're right. He really
Speaker 8: adds a rationality to it. And it's funny because if
Speaker 8: you remember, at the at the very beginning, so many.
Speaker 2: People were aghast that it was Jadevans.
Speaker 8: But actually what he has been able to do, I
Speaker 8: think is put into common everyday language, what in fact
Speaker 8: it all is about. That is a perfect example. Yesterday
Speaker 8: I did not watch Face the nation. I don't watch face.
Speaker 8: I saw the transcript and I watch a bunch of them.
Speaker 8: You have to see what everybody saying. But I've quit
Speaker 8: watching that one years ago. But it I think it's
Speaker 8: a just shows you what a good choice it was
Speaker 8: to make jd Vance the vice president.
Speaker 2: Well usually.
Speaker 1: And this is not to demean dan Quayle or anyone
Speaker 1: that's been vice president.
Speaker 8: If you're going to de bean dan quay you have
Speaker 8: to get in line. Okay, that's true. There's a lot
Speaker 8: of people that want to hear to day. I lived
Speaker 8: through it myself. I remember the jokes and everything else.
Speaker 2: But to have a.
Speaker 1: President that well, jd Vance is not the lightning rod.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is as a personality perfect, perfect, but he
Speaker 1: I don't think that to Kamala Harris was chosen because
Speaker 1: she was the most confident person to be Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: vice president. And if again you look at it from
Speaker 1: the level of communication and and you know, and and
Speaker 1: well and also if you take a look at the
Speaker 1: last election, I mean, I mean she did not pick Walls,
Speaker 1: was not was a horrible communicator.
Speaker 2: Horrible communicator.
Speaker 8: Everybody told me from up that way, some folks up
Speaker 8: in Minnesota, Oh, he's going to be the all shocks,
Speaker 8: you know, the Northwestern or you know, we're going to
Speaker 8: do the Midwestern thing, you know, every We're going to
Speaker 8: have the first price presidents ever say geez luise, you know,
Speaker 8: and and and drinking old fashion every night for dinner.
Speaker 8: You know. But I think he's just poisoned by their lootfisk.
Speaker 8: He just he just couldn't communicate. I mean, there was
Speaker 8: there was no there, there no But I guess what
Speaker 8: I'm saying is and you you said it right. Jd
Speaker 8: Vance explains MAGA better than MAGA. And it's a refreshing
Speaker 8: change in that position in that office because I I mean,
Speaker 8: if something had happened to Trump in the first term,
Speaker 8: as fraught with all the problems there were in his
Speaker 8: first term, I had no confidence in Mike Pence whatsoever.
Speaker 8: And this is long before January sixth, in the vote
Speaker 8: in the Senate on you know, certifying the election. I
Speaker 8: just never saw Mike Pence as maybe a nice guy,
Speaker 8: maybe nice guy, but is he presidential material?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 8: Most nice presidents aren't presidential material. That's why we've elected
Speaker 8: so few of them to become president.
Speaker 2: Right but JD.
Speaker 1: Vance I believe fills that bill. Don't you agree? I
Speaker 1: think it does.
Speaker 8: I think he I mean, clearly, he is the leading
Speaker 8: candidate going into the first month of the twenty twenty
Speaker 8: eight campaign for president, right right, just.
Speaker 1: The first month. Rick Robinson, thank you so much, my friend.
Speaker 1: It is always a pleasure to be here. Make sure
Speaker 1: if you're at home, listen to this. Everybody needs a
Speaker 1: copy of nineteen sixty eight. Everybody, everybody just and my
Speaker 1: kids need my grandkids need some new shoes, so no
Speaker 1: pick one up on Amazon today. Nineteen sixty eight, a
Speaker 1: primer for understanding baby boomers.
Speaker 2: All right, wonderful, sir, Thank you, good to see. I'm
Speaker 2: a friend.
Speaker 1: The nightcap continues, Lee Schi le Mish for a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Find out why Gary Jeff would say something like Lee
Speaker 1: Shai Lamish on the air. But he's coming up in
Speaker 1: just a few as we continue on seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: A right to talk about Chinese culture, a specific kind
Speaker 1: of culture that is stretches well past and well before
Speaker 1: the China of today and the Chinese Communist Party that
Speaker 1: controls that nation and its residents, its citizens with the
Speaker 1: proverbial iron fist if they fall out of line with
Speaker 1: what the party wants, what the government wants, and the like.
Speaker 1: And he's uniquely qualified because for a good deal of time.
Speaker 1: And I'll let him remind me of how many years
Speaker 1: he has been MCing for the group shen Yun, which
Speaker 1: is a Chinese dance and cultural theater group that travels
Speaker 1: the country. They uniquely do something that I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anybody else quite like what they're doing around the country.
Speaker 1: And shen Yun, of course will be in this area,
Speaker 1: I believe as well, very very soon. Leshai Lemish is
Speaker 1: the man behind the mic, and he's the man on
Speaker 1: the other end of the telephone right now, Leshai.
Speaker 2: Good evening, Hi, how are you doing doing fine? How
Speaker 2: long have you been with Shenyun traveling around the country?
Speaker 9: Eighteen years? You know, old enough to vote? Yeah? The
Speaker 9: company since we started, Yeah, And you know, we were
Speaker 9: just one group of people, a lot of volunteers. It
Speaker 9: was just a bunch of former, you know, top artists
Speaker 9: from China who a lot of them fled persecution. Others
Speaker 9: felt like there was no outlet for their art for
Speaker 9: traditional Chinese art in China under the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 9: and they said, let's create our own company in New York,
Speaker 9: Upstate New York and revived this culture and also tell
Speaker 9: the untold stories of people facing persecution in China and
Speaker 9: their courage. And we just started from nothing and no
Speaker 9: government support, no corporate support, no big donors, you know,
Speaker 9: just a bunch of people. And from that it is
Speaker 9: you know, a school was established to train dances in
Speaker 9: classical Chinese dance called Satian Academy, and then a college
Speaker 9: a master's program, and they trained one generation after another
Speaker 9: of dancers and musicians and hired people from all over
Speaker 9: the world. And now we have eight groups that tour
Speaker 9: the world at the same time. And we're talking about
Speaker 9: seven hundreds similar performances, not as many performers, maybe seventy
Speaker 9: times daily, you know, five hundred plus performers and you know,
Speaker 9: perform in front of over a million people every year.
Speaker 9: Ten million people so far will be in Ohio mid.
Speaker 2: February, yeah, next month.
Speaker 9: And it's quite a phenomenous.
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this, Lesha, that I was
Speaker 1: talking with someone else who doubted that Chinese app like
Speaker 1: TikTok could really be forcing propaganda on American citizens and
Speaker 1: collect obviously collecting all kinds of data for whatever the
Speaker 1: Communist Chinese Party wants. And he was just acting like
Speaker 1: that was all trumped up and it wasn't real, and
Speaker 1: that there was no problem with TikTok and why was
Speaker 1: it even questioned? And then I told him a little
Speaker 1: bit about our last conversation about Shan Yun and what
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party reaches its tentacles across into our
Speaker 1: country and tries to do to disrupt your performances, because
Speaker 1: it's much like Mao and the Cultural Revolution in China,
Speaker 1: where they wanted to blot out every piece of history Chinese,
Speaker 1: real Chinese history, it goes back thousands of years, anything
Speaker 1: before the Communists took over and act like it never happened,
Speaker 1: and they're still trying to do it. They're still trying
Speaker 1: to do it with your group. When you perform in
Speaker 1: this country, what kind of things have you been able
Speaker 1: to I mean, can you rightfully accuse the CCP of
Speaker 1: doing in this country as you're trying to tour?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 9: Okay, So there's a whole range of things that we
Speaker 9: know for sure that they're doing, and there's things that
Speaker 9: we maybe can't prove it to them, but are happening
Speaker 9: the ones that we can accuse them of.
Speaker 5: For sure.
Speaker 9: We have copies of letters that Chinese embassies and conflicts
Speaker 9: have sent to the theaters where we perform, to our
Speaker 9: own elected officials, congressmen, mayors, telling them to try to
Speaker 9: cancel the performances, nullified contracts that we have for shows,
Speaker 9: even shows that were entirely sold out. This does not
Speaker 9: work in America. It does work a little bit in
Speaker 9: Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia where they're more
Speaker 9: suspect to CCP pressure, but in America at backfires. And
Speaker 9: then what we do know that they've tried to also
Speaker 9: pressure our sponsors, you know, media, advertisers, any sponsors that
Speaker 9: we have to try to cancel. That that sometimes works.
Speaker 9: They pressure Chinese student and scholar associations, which are present
Speaker 9: in every big university in the country, through Confucius Institutes,
Speaker 9: through their United Front organization to protest, to pressure the
Speaker 9: theaters to cancel shows, to tell people not to go
Speaker 9: through the show. And then there's a whole range of
Speaker 9: you know, gangster type attack that we face. We've had
Speaker 9: our bus Hire slash and they're slashed in such a
Speaker 9: way that they don't deflate right away. They would explode
Speaker 9: on the highway and they're cut just a little bit
Speaker 9: into the rubber. And this has happened multiple times and
Speaker 9: it's under inspection, police reports.
Speaker 2: The whole thing.
Speaker 9: We're getting bomb threats, and you know these are in Chinese,
Speaker 9: written in a very mainland China sort of a way,
Speaker 9: And of course we can't point dis directly to the
Speaker 9: ambassador to Cgping. But the other thing that we know
Speaker 9: is that we've had leaked documents coming out of China
Speaker 9: saying that Shanyin performing Arts is a major target of
Speaker 9: the Chinese Communist Party and a big threat, and that
Speaker 9: they want to take us down. It's like the endgame
Speaker 9: battle for them, and the way that they want to
Speaker 9: do it is through weaponizing our social media. It's going
Speaker 9: back to TikTok, and obviously not just TikTok, but x
Speaker 9: and YouTube and everything else, and to use that with
Speaker 9: their agents and with paying other people money, including YouTubers
Speaker 9: who were offered two hundred dollars or five hundred dollars
Speaker 9: in different cases to do videos attacking Hnyun and then
Speaker 9: get that narrative into mainstream American media like the New
Speaker 9: York Times, and we see copycat behavior from local papers
Speaker 9: trying to basically attack Shanyuan as being an abusive kind
Speaker 9: of performing arts company or attack China Force, and you know,
Speaker 9: the reality couldn't be any more different. And you talk
Speaker 9: to our performers. They love it here. Our retention rates
Speaker 9: are incredibly high. And this is you know, it's not
Speaker 9: performing arts is not an easy lifestyle. You're traveling a lot,
Speaker 9: that's physically exhausting. But people have very well taken care
Speaker 9: of top doctors, so all these claims that they have
Speaker 9: are very easily refuted. But they get out there so
Speaker 9: much that they're trying to create this narrative. But you know,
Speaker 9: we're still performing. A lot of shows are sold out,
Speaker 9: doing well and not going to stop.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: You remember, and you said that the performers love it here.
Speaker 1: They also have a deep, abiding love for their own
Speaker 1: culture as a people. Is it Chinese people that goes
Speaker 1: back thousands of years?
Speaker 2: Lisha.
Speaker 1: We saw this happen during really during twenty twenty after
Speaker 1: the George Floyd riots in this country. We saw it
Speaker 1: with people wanting to tear down statues of Civil War
Speaker 1: or great Americans like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, even
Speaker 1: because of the sins of their past. But the problem
Speaker 1: with was you don't erase the sins of the past
Speaker 1: by completely forgetting and moth bawling everything that happened in
Speaker 1: the past, as the Communist Chinese Party has done. They're
Speaker 1: just like the Prohomasue protesters. They're just like any other
Speaker 1: They're like, isis that tore down monuments and antiquities in
Speaker 1: the Middle East because they said, no, that doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 1: We're here in control now. And the Communist Chinese Party
Speaker 1: has been doing this now for decades, since they took
Speaker 1: over that wonderful country.
Speaker 9: Yeah, a certain arrogance in people today saying the past
Speaker 9: doesn't matter. All that matters is what we think and
Speaker 9: what we know now. And as we learn more and
Speaker 9: more about ancient history, including prehistoric civilizations and what existed
Speaker 9: a long time ago, we learn actually there are multiple
Speaker 9: paths that you can take to hav an advanced civilization.
Speaker 9: But what's in common is this traditional morality virtues, and
Speaker 9: that's what's coming out in our performance, and that's what
Speaker 9: traditional Chinese culture is really about its ideas like courage
Speaker 9: and integrity and compassion and and humility and a certain
Speaker 9: spirituality and humility in front of the design. And that
Speaker 9: is something that's held humanity together for thousands of years.
Speaker 9: And when we lose that, we lose those traditions. Just
Speaker 9: so when you have all this other stuff, and of
Speaker 9: course that's what Mouth set out to destroy. And the
Speaker 9: culture evolution, which you know was not that long ago,
Speaker 9: talking late sixties, early seventies. I know a lot of
Speaker 9: people who went through it. And so when we perform
Speaker 9: Shinu and we bring back these traditions and these virtues,
Speaker 9: they resonate with everybody. It's a Chinese cultural performance, but
Speaker 9: you see people from all walks of life, religions, races, countries,
Speaker 9: nationalities really moved to tears by an ancient Chinese story
Speaker 9: about sacrifice.
Speaker 2: You mention couraged Lisha.
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you're going to be in Ohio mid February,
Speaker 1: so we're not that far away from mid February. We're
Speaker 1: closing in. You know where their performance is and is
Speaker 1: it sold out already?
Speaker 9: We will be in Cincinnati not sold out fifteenth and
Speaker 9: sixteenth of FEBRUARYES, that's a good little value on time's
Speaker 9: day of.
Speaker 2: And what's the venue? Do you know the venue? Right
Speaker 2: off the top of your head. I believe what's called
Speaker 2: aeronoff Center.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, cool, aeronoff Center February fifteenth and sixteenth, shen
Speaker 1: ywn with just beautiful. I mean I've seen clips of
Speaker 1: some of the performances and it is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: And Lee Shat, thank you for spreading the word and
Speaker 1: letting people know that you're doing this out of love
Speaker 1: for the culture, and uh, you're also doing it flying
Speaker 1: in the face of what the communists are trying to achieve,
Speaker 1: which is the obliteration of that culture in the name
Speaker 1: of them being the new God.
Speaker 9: I guess yeah, Well, we appreciate the support. I think
Speaker 9: people will really enjoy the performance. We haven't even talked
Speaker 9: about the artistry involved, but the message is one of
Speaker 9: hope and people leave the show inspired and that's really
Speaker 9: what drives are performers.
Speaker 2: All right, Lisha, I will look for you. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much, thank you. All right.
Speaker 1: The Nightcap continues in mere moments on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: That's what we're done at.
Speaker 1: Goodnight and joining us now is the man who's the
Speaker 1: head of the Kublius Washington, DC Employment Agency and PR firm,
Speaker 1: the greatest PR firm in the world. Helps us get
Speaker 1: all these great guests you hear on my shows and
Speaker 1: all around the country promoting books and whatever. Also the
Speaker 1: author speaking of books of the White Privilege album and
Speaker 1: also the Woking Dead.
Speaker 2: Before that, the one and only A J. Rice. How
Speaker 2: are you doing good? Evening? Aj doing good? Great to
Speaker 2: be here, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3: The disruptors are arriving to work.
Speaker 10: The American people elected the great disruptor, and he is
Speaker 10: sending disruptors into each department they're elected twenty seven Yankees, murderers.
Speaker 10: Row is coming in here dropping moabs on these departments.
Speaker 10: They have to be totally got it.
Speaker 1: Well, you were talking about I was talking at the
Speaker 1: top about the Publius PR Employment Agency. Your clients, man,
Speaker 1: are lining the halls or will be soon lining.
Speaker 2: The halls of Trump's White House. As you text me.
Speaker 1: You said, clients who have found up so far in
Speaker 1: Trump's White House shopping cart includes Secretary of Defense mister
Speaker 1: Pete Hexv, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Junior Treasury Secretary.
Speaker 1: You've got the whole list of them here, aj I do.
Speaker 10: I have many of them everyone except for like Rubio.
Speaker 10: Although you know, Monica Crowley's been nominated as the Assistant
Speaker 10: Secretary of State, so I will have her over at
Speaker 10: State Department sometime soon. And look, Michael Waltz, Congressman, I
Speaker 10: did a children's book with him.
Speaker 3: He's going to be National Security Advisor.
Speaker 10: He luckily doesn't have to sit there and deal with
Speaker 10: doesn't have to go through a confirmation here. But look,
Speaker 10: this is what the American people wanted. They wanted an
Speaker 10: overhaul of the establishment of the deep state, of the swamp.
Speaker 10: And I gotta tell you, I'm probably gonna see RFK Jr.
Speaker 10: This week, Tulsi and RFK Junior in particular. The Democrats
Speaker 10: are going to do everything they.
Speaker 3: Can to try to stop these two.
Speaker 10: Which is why everyone listening needs to call their senators
Speaker 10: and call their congressmen, because they cannot have these two
Speaker 10: Democrats escape the plantation.
Speaker 3: They cannot because others may follow.
Speaker 10: I'm looking at you, John Fetterman, I'm looking at you.
Speaker 10: I'm looking at John Ossoff in Georgia.
Speaker 3: They need to make it so painful for.
Speaker 10: RFK Junior and Tulsi that no one else will dare
Speaker 10: escape the bankrupt intellectual plantation of liberalism.
Speaker 1: Well has already proven aj that he could be flipped.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just talks common sense when you don't
Speaker 1: hear that out of that party any other time during
Speaker 1: a news cycle.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: But this was a huge deal this election.
Speaker 10: This was a somewhat of a realignment, and it was
Speaker 10: a reset. And the death rattles coming for wokeism, for liberalism,
Speaker 10: for cultural Marxism, and they are going to try to
Speaker 10: really lay some gloves on Tulsi and on RFK Jr.
Speaker 10: And I hate to say this, the audience needs to
Speaker 10: know this. There are some establishment Republican aligned organizations that
Speaker 10: are moving themselves into place to help the Democrats stop
Speaker 10: RFK Junior and Charlsea Gabbert well.
Speaker 1: Of course, because he is no friend to big pharma,
Speaker 1: to big food, to big ag because his whole pitch
Speaker 1: it challenges their business model, So.
Speaker 2: Of course it's try.
Speaker 10: It challenges the poisoning of the United States on behalf
Speaker 10: of our pocket book, It challenges all of that. And look,
Speaker 10: RFK Junior and you know Marco Rubio probably don't agree
Speaker 10: on a whole bunch of things.
Speaker 3: But RFK Junior is not being sent, you know.
Speaker 10: To run uh you know, some pro life group or
Speaker 10: the EPA or the State Department. He's going exactly to
Speaker 10: the place that needs the most disrupting and that is
Speaker 10: you know, the USDA and the National Institutes of Health
Speaker 10: and AHHS.
Speaker 3: He has to go in there. We were taken for
Speaker 3: a ride, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, I see now now
Speaker 3: that we.
Speaker 10: Run the CIA, I see that the lab leak theory,
Speaker 10: the lablak theory. Remember when we were all deplatformed and
Speaker 10: demonetize for the lab leak. Oh yeah, Well guess what
Speaker 10: the CIA is basically saying, you know, it probably escaped
Speaker 10: the lab. Now you know, take the next step. Who
Speaker 10: paid for the lab, who was running the lab, did it.
Speaker 3: Escape or purpose? So those are the next questions.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 10: It's like it's like Musk said when he bought Twitter
Speaker 10: now x he said, Look, most of the conspiracy theories
Speaker 10: people had about Twitter turned out to be true.
Speaker 1: Well, we who paid for the lab, who conducted the research?
Speaker 1: I think now we know why. Anthony Fauci was one
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's last minute preemptive pardons for any crimeing
Speaker 1: MA have committed going back to back back ten years.
Speaker 3: Gonna go back ten years, just like Hunter with the blownose.
Speaker 10: You know, Hunter blownos got a ten year retroactive party.
Speaker 1: You know, see, people like you Aja need to be
Speaker 1: in the forefront more often because now that Trump's kind
Speaker 1: of a a kinder, gentler Trump, you know, we need
Speaker 1: somebody to tell, we need to we need to say,
Speaker 1: we need to see somebody come up with nicknames.
Speaker 2: You know Trump, Trump has kind of backed a some
Speaker 2: of the nicknames. So you know, blonos Is is definitely
Speaker 2: a great one to say.
Speaker 10: You know, I could probably go into the administration if
Speaker 10: I wanted to.
Speaker 3: I mean, half the White House are my clients.
Speaker 10: But I am much more valuable and can do much
Speaker 10: more damage work in communications from outside. There's certain rules
Speaker 10: that you know, once you're a government employee that you
Speaker 10: have to sort of abide by. So you know, think
Speaker 10: of me as the communications version of a pro bono
Speaker 10: lawyer that you know, I can, I can, I can,
Speaker 10: I can work my own social justice.
Speaker 3: I can work MAGA social justice and.
Speaker 10: Try to get as many of our people confirmed as possible.
Speaker 3: And it's not just the big names.
Speaker 10: It's four thousand people right that are going into you know,
Speaker 10: it's Sergio Gore who's running the PPO office Presidential Personnel Office.
Speaker 10: He's my client and I've known him for you know,
Speaker 10: twenty years, ladies and gentlemen. He was running Winning Team
Speaker 10: Publishing along with Donald Trump Junior for the last you know,
Speaker 10: five years. And that's not just the Trump Coffee table
Speaker 10: books that you see, I'm sure on on Fox it's
Speaker 10: he's done Charlie Kirk's book, Judge, Janine MTG, Carrie Lake,
Speaker 10: Peter Navarro. So so look that's who's in charge of
Speaker 10: the hiring and the firing. That is a stone cold killer.
Speaker 10: Sergio Gore is amazing. So it's not all the names
Speaker 10: that you know, it's some of the names that you're
Speaker 10: going to learn about as we proceed here.
Speaker 1: On a personal level, aj Rice, I wanted to ask you,
Speaker 1: as a relatively new father, is this part of the
Speaker 1: encouragement that you're getting from watching the first week of
Speaker 1: the Trump presidency for your offspring's future. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's something that a lot of people have been reticent
Speaker 1: and hesitant to do, is have children because they were
Speaker 1: so unsure of the future and the future is allways unsure,
Speaker 1: and you know that's that's a fact.
Speaker 3: That's only breaks some news for you. Here, break some
Speaker 3: news for you.
Speaker 10: But yeah, my son who was born on January sixth,
Speaker 10: he's an insurrection baby.
Speaker 3: He is doing great. We are always fighting.
Speaker 10: Like Reagan said, you know, we're only one generation away
Speaker 10: from losing it all. But we have to fight for
Speaker 10: not just our own children, but everyone else's and children
Speaker 10: yet unborn. You know, I might have another one on
Speaker 10: the way sometime soon, if I can hit the bullseye,
Speaker 10: you know, I mean, that's just it.
Speaker 3: Baron Trump is your future.
Speaker 2: Oh god, you know.
Speaker 10: And guess what he said it He said it best
Speaker 10: when he leaned in there on the on the uh
Speaker 10: reanimated corpse there at at the inauguration. It's on, and
Speaker 10: it is on, ladies and gentlemen, it is on. You
Speaker 10: have we have to fight for every one of these nominees.
Speaker 10: So get on the phone and uh you know, pretend
Speaker 10: that you're a call sit in India and start harassing
Speaker 10: your conference.
Speaker 1: You're on, and I appreciate you being on for me.
Speaker 1: Aj Rice Tonight on the Nightcap, as we continue on
Speaker 1: seven hundred W LW, it's been a long time coming
Speaker 1: this conversation, and we'll do as much as we can
Speaker 1: on the subject. But we have here from the Center
Speaker 1: for Immigration Studies CIS dot org, the one and only
Speaker 1: Todd Bensman, author of books like Overrun about our Southern Border.
Speaker 2: He has been on our southern border.
Speaker 1: He's been in the countries that are feeding the mass
Speaker 1: illegal invasion that has been occurring over the last for
Speaker 1: in earnest for a long time, but especially the last
Speaker 1: four years. And it's got to be refreshing to see
Speaker 1: the changes that Trump has brought already along with Tom
Speaker 1: Holman and Ice, Todd Bensman, how are you.
Speaker 5: I'm doing great, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: No new piece you were just working on and I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it completely yet. I'm just looking at the
Speaker 1: headline pro Haamas anti Jewish college demonstrators here on visas
Speaker 1: are I notice that their US welcome is over? And
Speaker 1: that was something that was talked about before the election
Speaker 1: as well. While these protests were fomenting with people who
Speaker 1: were not even citizens, and in many cases weren't even
Speaker 1: students of the colleges where they were protesting, right.
Speaker 11: Right, And this is one of three pieces that I'm
Speaker 11: It's the first of three pieces that I'm writing about
Speaker 11: one of the more interesting of the Trump probably the
Speaker 11: most interesting of the Trump executive orders that he signed,
Speaker 11: having to do with national security vetting. We all remember
Speaker 11: extreme vetting right from Trump one point zero, where you know,
Speaker 11: he endeavored to make sure that you know, all visa applicants,
Speaker 11: especially from certain Muslim countries, were vetted thoroughly before they
Speaker 11: were approved for entry. And then of course they tried
Speaker 11: to put a program of that together and Biden administration
Speaker 11: eliminated all of it. And now the new executive order
Speaker 11: endeavors to really restore all of that and go much
Speaker 11: farther to include targeting for visa revocation. All of those
Speaker 11: pro terrorist Hamas demonstrators that we saw on campuses all
Speaker 11: across the country. They're still out there now, a lot
Speaker 11: of them hiding their faces, but those who can be identified,
Speaker 11: it looks like the administration is planning to hunt them down,
Speaker 11: take away their visas, and deport them if you read
Speaker 11: the language of this presidential order. This is a piece
Speaker 11: you can find at CIS dot org CIS dot org
Speaker 11: under my name Bensman. There's a couple more pieces coming
Speaker 11: about decoding this counter terrorism order at the border, one
Speaker 11: of which is that this is the one that will
Speaker 11: allow for the return of the so called travel ban.
Speaker 11: You probably know it as the quote unquote misnamed Muslim
Speaker 11: travel ban, although it's not that that's coming back too,
Speaker 11: and that will probably include many more than just the
Speaker 11: initial thirteen countries that were on that list. Nobody will
Speaker 11: get to come in from those countries. In fact, all
Speaker 11: refugee visas are suspended right now, yay, for the next
Speaker 11: four months. So things have really just as Kamala Harris
Speaker 11: used to say, turn the page.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's one hundred and eighty degree difference,
Speaker 1: and we all knew it would be. It became almost
Speaker 1: that when Iden got into office in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: and you took away remain in Mexico and all the
Speaker 1: other policies that President Trump had implemented, campaigned on and implemented.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that the guy follows and tries to
Speaker 1: fulfill his campaign promises. Donald Trump, he truly does, and
Speaker 1: he's been no stranger at that in this past week.
Speaker 1: Todd Bensman, But did you hear the story? And I've
Speaker 1: not been able to confirm this anywhere else but it
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me or astound me at all that the
Speaker 1: Marxist school teacher turned mayor of Chicago was actually letting
Speaker 1: illegals who had committed crimes, who were actually in jail,
Speaker 1: out on the streets so Ice couldn't find them. Have
Speaker 1: you heard that? And does that sound like something that
Speaker 1: the anti American leaders in these places, these sanctuary states
Speaker 1: and cities would do.
Speaker 11: That's well established policy and practice in big blue democratic cities.
Speaker 11: They just did it. In Boston. We had ice raids there.
Speaker 11: Fox News was along on those raids and was able
Speaker 11: to interview and film the kind of people that they
Speaker 11: were picking up, all of whom had been released from
Speaker 11: Boston area jails just recently into the community. Instead of
Speaker 11: them just phoning ICE to come get them, we had
Speaker 11: to hunt them down.
Speaker 2: Ice had to.
Speaker 11: Hunt them down. And they were murderers and child molesters
Speaker 11: and rapists. And one of the guys was a gangbanger,
Speaker 11: you know, arrested seventeen times and kept getting released.
Speaker 5: And nobody would call it.
Speaker 2: Oh the guy from Haiti, Yeah, he's quoted saying thank
Speaker 2: you Joe Biden, thank you Obama, You've been great, and
Speaker 2: f Trump and they have, They have that on film
Speaker 2: and all of these thousands.
Speaker 11: There were supposedly seven hundred and fifty thousand criminal aids
Speaker 11: running around the country, a huge number of them in
Speaker 11: these blue cities whose leaders believe that it's somehow moral
Speaker 11: to not call ice. When bad guys are getting out
Speaker 11: of jail, they release them into the count, into the
Speaker 11: country to recommit against their own people. It's unbelievable that
Speaker 11: they think there's some political advantage in this, but they're not.
Speaker 2: Indeed. Uh are you are you? Where are you now? Geographically?
Speaker 2: I'm in Austin, Austin, Texas. Okay, are you making any
Speaker 2: plan trips to the border anytime soon?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I probably will go down pretty soon. I just it's
Speaker 11: it's definitely on my immediate horizon. Probably we'll go down
Speaker 11: there to see what's happening on the other side. All right, Well,
Speaker 11: I always but I will tell you this, Yeah, that
Speaker 11: the number but my sources are telling me that the
Speaker 11: numbers of crossers is down below five hundred an.
Speaker 2: Age order length. I saw that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's remarkable, because well, I don't think we've seen
Speaker 11: that in decades, even even at the best Trump order.
Speaker 11: I don't think we had numbers that low. I'm checking
Speaker 11: that out exactly what the history is on that, but
Speaker 11: we may and you know, my sources are telling me
Speaker 11: they expect the trajectory to go down to two hundred
Speaker 11: a day, which is just unbelievable. And the reason is
Speaker 11: because they just simply flip the switch on a couple
Speaker 11: of policies to twelve F go Google to twelve F
Speaker 11: of the i NA that has been available to the
Speaker 11: Biden administration the entire time.
Speaker 5: They could have done it at any time.
Speaker 11: They did not need a big Senate bill, bipartisan, comprehensive
Speaker 11: Senate nothing, They just needed to do to twelve F.
Speaker 5: That's what they're doing.
Speaker 11: They're pushing everybody back with no chance for asylum, and
Speaker 11: that is having an incredible impact on the other side
Speaker 11: among the migrants because they know that their money investments
Speaker 11: are not going to get them over the border. They're
Speaker 11: going to get shipped back to Mexico, and so they're
Speaker 11: staying home or going home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you planning on seeing a lot of self deportation, Tod.
Speaker 11: Well, I've heard about that. There's some of that. I
Speaker 11: don't know how well documented that is. That people in
Speaker 11: the United States that are here illegally. If we catch
Speaker 11: you and have to deport you, we're going to put
Speaker 11: a big ten year ban on you from ever coming
Speaker 11: in legally. So there's this idea, and that's on purpose
Speaker 11: to sort of induce people to just go home on
Speaker 11: their own and save us the trouble. And that way
Speaker 11: you could potentially apply to come in legally and do
Speaker 11: it the right way.
Speaker 5: But I don't know what the number.
Speaker 11: That's such a new phenomenon that's definitely worth.
Speaker 1: Watching, absolutely and I know that you'll be there watching
Speaker 1: it and reporting on it CIS dot org. The man's
Speaker 1: name is Todd Bensman, and I am so just so
Speaker 1: thankful you took a few minutes out to talk about
Speaker 1: the great turnaround of vetting people and really addressing for
Speaker 1: the first time in four years our illegal immigration problem
Speaker 1: in this country. And you've been there all along. I
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Todd, Thank you anytime, anytime you got it.
Speaker 1: It's the nightcap on seven hundred WLW one more for
Speaker 1: the Road.
Speaker 2: Get the breathalyzers out.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with the man behind the curtain
Speaker 1: at Mike's Music, the One and Only Mike Reader, about
Speaker 1: a special event that is coming up this coming Sunday
Speaker 1: next weekend. And see there's no football next Sunday, so
Speaker 1: you've got absolutely no excuse. It's the Sunday in between
Speaker 1: the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Mike Reader, good evening.
Speaker 1: Tell tell me what you've got planned.
Speaker 5: Uh, well, Gary, thanks for having having me on. I
Speaker 5: really appreciate it.
Speaker 12: So what we're doing is a show called Positively Mainstress,
Speaker 12: and it is a Dylan show where thirty artists and
Speaker 12: bands of the Tri State area are going to get
Speaker 12: together and play Dylan songs. Each band is going to
Speaker 12: play one to three songs, and we're all playing different
Speaker 12: tunes so there's no repeating in the songs. And all
Speaker 12: the funds are going to go to Children's Hospital giving
Speaker 12: Kids Hope, which is the cancer department there at Children's
Speaker 12: Hospital that my son went through.
Speaker 5: And it's just gonna be a great day.
Speaker 12: We're gonna have raffles, we're gonna have split the pot,
Speaker 12: and just all kinds of amazing bands are going to
Speaker 12: play these songs and it's gonna be all day long.
Speaker 2: Now are you divulging? Are you divulging? What you were playing?
Speaker 2: That's a Dylan tune.
Speaker 13: I can.
Speaker 12: Yeah, my band Chalk Eye, we're gonna do a big
Speaker 12: Girl now tangled up in blue and out of a
Speaker 12: thin man. And then I'm lucky enough they'd be setting
Speaker 12: in and playing.
Speaker 5: With a bunch of other people.
Speaker 12: So yeah, I'll be playing with Noell Witherspoon and uh,
Speaker 12: Brent James and a couple other people helping them out,
Speaker 12: and a bunch of friends are getting together. So it's
Speaker 12: it's going to be a great time. It's at the
Speaker 12: Village Theater in Mainstross, which is our theater in Mainstross.
Speaker 12: It's the Mike's Music and it's all day long area.
Speaker 12: It starts at noon and we're going to go into
Speaker 12: the night, probably nine ten hours.
Speaker 5: So it's going to be a great well.
Speaker 1: And the other thing to remember is that I don't
Speaker 1: believe next Sunday there are any pride parades or any
Speaker 1: other event going on that would take up all of
Speaker 1: the parking there in Kellington for the event.
Speaker 2: And you start again at one time.
Speaker 5: We're starting at noon. Bands start at noon.
Speaker 12: We're going to do doors at eleven thirty and the
Speaker 12: plan is to go to about nine.
Speaker 5: But you know, when you're dealing with thirty bands, you
Speaker 5: never know what's going to happen. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 5: sure you come out.
Speaker 1: Keep keeping them all on time is this is the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. And then they're musicians, so hopefully they're awake
Speaker 1: by by Sunday afternoon for their set.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I talked to uh, to a guy named Brad Dansbury
Speaker 1: who has got a Brad is gonna come play, And
Speaker 1: he was telling me about this because I brought it up. Actually,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to talk to Mike Reader on
Speaker 1: Monday night at the bar this weekend. I told him
Speaker 1: and I said about the Fast. He said, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: involved in that too, which is great. I'm like, you
Speaker 1: have thirty artists and it's so top of mind. It's
Speaker 1: so top of mind with a complete unknown in the
Speaker 1: theaters just getting rave reviews everywhere, the story of Bob
Speaker 1: Dylan and Joan Bias and Pete Seeger. I mean that's
Speaker 1: that had to play into your, uh, your envisioning of
Speaker 1: of the theme for.
Speaker 5: This for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 12: I'm good friends with Elliott Ruther, who was we were
Speaker 12: sort of semi partners at the Herzon Music thing downtown
Speaker 12: and we've been talking about doing this for years and
Speaker 12: It's just one of those things that it just seemed
Speaker 12: like the right time for sure.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 12: Some of the artists that we're gonna have is Sunny
Speaker 12: Mormon Band's gonna come.
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of Spring's gonna be there. Brent
Speaker 5: James is going to be there.
Speaker 12: This band called Highway sixty one, which is sort of
Speaker 12: like a doing cover band, do you.
Speaker 5: Think, Yeah, yeah, they're really really good.
Speaker 12: And some of the raffle items we're gonna have we
Speaker 12: have a recording package yet we're offering from Mike's music.
Speaker 12: My friend from Lester's Rock and Roll Shop is going
Speaker 12: to give this really cool skateboard away. And there is a.
Speaker 5: Poster that Miltoner's Meltoner's made.
Speaker 12: He's an artist locally and it's just a it's really
Speaker 12: beautiful and cool, super cool. That's gonna have those available.
Speaker 12: It's gonna go all day and it's gonna be a
Speaker 12: great time.
Speaker 5: Can't wait.
Speaker 2: You still have your you still get your vintage guitar
Speaker 2: shop on Mama Street in Newport?
Speaker 5: Do you know I do?
Speaker 12: He's still you still have stopped in to see me
Speaker 12: it Gary, Well, yeah, right up the street from you.
Speaker 1: The times that I have had free to come by.
Speaker 1: I was either well I wasn't free, I was working,
Speaker 1: or you hadn't opened yet.
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, yeah, we're here at twelve to six
Speaker 5: a day.
Speaker 2: All right. You want to hear a little Dylan story, Yeah,
Speaker 2: give me a villain story.
Speaker 5: Sure, Okay.
Speaker 12: So I've actually I've been lucky enough to meet the
Speaker 12: guys in the band and sold Bob a guitar and stuff.
Speaker 12: But the most interesting one is he came to our
Speaker 12: Covington location. My friend Mark Raya was running at the time.
Speaker 12: I played in a band with the Mumpiyes with Mark
Speaker 12: ray Now and he was watching the store and Bob
Speaker 12: walked in and hung out. There were some people in there,
Speaker 12: and they were just kind of like, you know, they
Speaker 12: eventually realized it was Bob because he had like a
Speaker 12: hoodie on, and he walked around. He played a Woltz organ,
Speaker 12: and he asked about some of the guitars, and one
Speaker 12: of the things he asked about was the Mainstas sumilogy.
Speaker 5: He said it reminded him of, you know, the New.
Speaker 12: York village that he, you know, used to go to
Speaker 12: all the time. And I just think that's super cool
Speaker 12: that he came in the store where we're going to
Speaker 12: have the benefits, so so.
Speaker 1: He said, he said Mainstrass reminded him of the old
Speaker 1: East village where he came up, where it was discovered.
Speaker 2: Basically, that's right.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so that's pretty cool that Bob's been there. We're
Speaker 12: going to do this show and his honor and.
Speaker 5: Raise the money for Children's Hospital.
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic Again, that is this Sunday, not this
Speaker 1: Sunday next Sunday, rather from noon, doors open at eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: just seven. What's what's the donation of the cost to
Speaker 1: get in?
Speaker 12: Mike uh suggested ten dollars, but we'll take way more or.
Speaker 2: You'll take what you can get. I'm sure there.
Speaker 1: The more for Children's Hospital, the merrier for you and
Speaker 1: the music.
Speaker 5: He'll be your way and it'll be good. There'll be
Speaker 5: lots of cool things you could bid on and win
Speaker 5: and it's it's just gonna be a great time.
Speaker 2: Well, look forward to it.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll remind people again of this coming Saturday morning
Speaker 1: and maybe you can come up with maybe you can
Speaker 1: think of or make up another story to tell me.
Speaker 2: Then the.
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic Mike Reader from Mike's Music and the
Speaker 1: Big benefit coming up on Sunday at the at the
Speaker 1: Village Theater. Thank you, sir, It is just about time
Speaker 1: for us to say goodbye. The wild Man chimes in
Speaker 1: last next on seven hundred WLW Sports Commando, the last
Speaker 1: gasp of this night cap. This is literally one more
Speaker 1: for the road and then we're hitting the bricks at midnight.
Speaker 1: But between now and then, let us talk to the
Speaker 1: sports Commando, the wild Man, Dennis Wildman Walker for a
Speaker 1: few moments of what is And I started the show
Speaker 1: tonight wild Man by saying that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are not happy with me right now, and it has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with political views.
Speaker 2: It has to do with the fact that.
Speaker 1: I'm a Kansas City Chief supporter and everybody has the
Speaker 1: taste of sour grapes in their mouth, and I just
Speaker 1: think they need to grow up.
Speaker 13: What do you say, Well, they're already throwing at the
Speaker 13: conspiracy things.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're well aware of.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if you lose and you legitimately lose,
Speaker 1: and some people are saying that these teams that Kansas
Speaker 1: City have beaten, some of them haven't legitimately lost, so
Speaker 1: I understand. So maybe it's like a Trump thing in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four or twenty twenty. But no, if you lose,
Speaker 1: you find reasons beyond yourself as to why you lost.
Speaker 1: And these people are doing that right now. And it's
Speaker 1: so fun for me to watch.
Speaker 5: Oh, I bet it is.
Speaker 13: That's not surprising. That's the way it usually is, especially
Speaker 13: at sports. They're always looking for a different angle instead
Speaker 13: of being like being out played. But we have our
Speaker 13: we have our Super Bowl participants, the Philadelphia Eagles and
Speaker 13: the Kansas City Chiefs. This time that they're made him
Speaker 13: what for the second time in three years?
Speaker 1: I believe, yes, in yeah, the cream, the cream always
Speaker 1: rises to the top, wild Man, And once again the
Speaker 1: best of the best have shown themselves to be just
Speaker 1: that leading into the big game number fifty nine.
Speaker 2: Now, there's a problem with all this three peat talk.
Speaker 1: You can't legitimately legally label it a three peat because
Speaker 1: pat Riley trademarked that with the with the Lakers, right
Speaker 1: you remember that?
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, and and I got something here, I got something.
Speaker 5: Here for you here.
Speaker 13: The three peat has already been, It was already accomplished
Speaker 13: three championships in a row.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 13: Won the NFL Championship in sixty five, then in the
Speaker 13: sixty six and sixty seven they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 13: So there's three championships, but it wasn't three super Bowls.
Speaker 1: The Cleve the Cleveland Browns, the clean Cleveland Browns have
Speaker 1: won an NFL championship, but they've never won a super Bowl. Right,
Speaker 1: the champions champions different super Bowl right, exactly, exactly. They
Speaker 1: always point to the championship they won before they let
Speaker 1: the AFC Boys play with them in a super Bowl.
Speaker 13: You're talking about you're talking about pat Riley the three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that too.
Speaker 5: So somebody's gonna be something.
Speaker 2: That's what I said. He's gonna get paid.
Speaker 5: He's gonna get paid big bucks.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, And that's why I've been trying
Speaker 1: to come up with a different name so I can
Speaker 1: make my own money off the merch When the Chiefs prevail,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about, uh, I don't know it, uh
Speaker 1: a three chiefdom.
Speaker 2: Let's see what else?
Speaker 13: Uh I don't like that Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I want my back to back to back baby back ribs.
Speaker 2: I don't know, don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be something that you can
Speaker 1: grab a hold of with three I mean and and
Speaker 1: and make some cash of it because you don't want
Speaker 1: to pay pat Riley.
Speaker 13: Right, Well, he's going to get paid. He's gonna get
Speaker 13: paid at least with this Super Bowl for sure. Well
Speaker 13: if they win. If they don't win, all bets are off,
Speaker 13: and we're just.
Speaker 2: Off. Bets are off.
Speaker 13: But I'm telling you right now, the Chiefs are not
Speaker 13: going to beat the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid.
Speaker 13: You see how they destroyed you, see how they destroyed Washington.
Speaker 13: You got to stop someone, Saguan Barkley. Good luck trying
Speaker 13: to stop that guy, Jalen Hurts. Why he is not
Speaker 13: Pat Mahomes. He gets the job done. Squan Barkley.
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley on the first offensive play of the game,
Speaker 2: rolls sixty yards for a touchdown the first play from scrimmage.
Speaker 2: And then you go, okay, well that that does happen
Speaker 2: with Sequan from time to time, but surely he won't
Speaker 2: be that.
Speaker 1: They won't let him be that dominant the rest of
Speaker 1: the game. They had no choice, and you got to pick.
Speaker 1: You got to pick your poison, Jalen, Yeah, Sequon Barkley.
Speaker 1: Uh And and there are numerous other weapons that the
Speaker 1: Eagles have to bring to the battle list. I predicted
Speaker 1: I thought Washington was on a real roll wild man,
Speaker 1: Oh we all did, we all did, yes, And so
Speaker 1: I predicted Washington would beat the Eagles, and the Chiefs
Speaker 1: would prevail at home against the Bills again and it
Speaker 1: would be washed. I had Jaden Daniels actually being the
Speaker 1: first rookie quarterback to win a Super Bowl, not just
Speaker 1: start a super Bowl, but why I predicted they would
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. But now I got to rethink everything,
Speaker 1: and what I saw out of Philadelphia as a Chiefs
Speaker 1: fan scares the holy bejeebers out of me.
Speaker 13: Well that if all the Eagles got to do is
Speaker 13: go back and look at the second half of how
Speaker 13: Buffalo attacked them. They attacked them with the run while
Speaker 13: they're running game, is okay? It isn't, Sir Quon Barkley.
Speaker 13: And then I think they they'll see something on the film. Well,
Speaker 13: so wouldn't get Barkley. We'll get some holes up for
Speaker 13: Barkley here.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no question about it.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that surprised you in either game yesterday?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: Not really, not really.
Speaker 13: I mean, I knew it would be toe to toe with
Speaker 13: the with the Bills.
Speaker 5: I love to.
Speaker 13: Say the fourth and one UH calls by the UH
Speaker 13: by the Bills coach that they you know, he's willing
Speaker 13: to go for it now not eve percent of the time,
Speaker 13: and usually it's been successful. I find it ironic that
Speaker 13: the game, the game is put out of reach by
Speaker 13: a former Bengal who was in there for the first
Speaker 13: time all day.
Speaker 2: He catches a pass, rhyme, p Ryme, and.
Speaker 13: He getches the pass. They'll play was an all day
Speaker 13: and sales the victory for the Chiefs. I go, well,
Speaker 13: that's that's poetic right there, right there.
Speaker 1: Well, p Ryme was a multi, multi talented running back
Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati. They just didn't have money for him
Speaker 1: on the roster and so he had to go somewhere.
Speaker 5: The clure here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a good soldier and a good performer.
Speaker 1: But for me, it all comes down still to the
Speaker 1: magic of Mahomes and the things well here goes.
Speaker 13: So you had to mention that, and I got to
Speaker 13: tell you that Tony Romo's mad love for Mahomes is
Speaker 13: flat out sickening, sickening. Do we have to hear him anymore?
Speaker 13: Or are we done with that? Because Tony Romo's man
Speaker 13: love for him. And that's off the how.
Speaker 1: You mentioned no home on Wildman wild Man, you mentioned
Speaker 1: Tony Romo.
Speaker 2: H I much prefer.
Speaker 1: In one season, tom Brady has proven to me that
Speaker 1: he's a better color commentator than Tony Romo.
Speaker 5: He's excellent.
Speaker 2: He's very good, and he's breaking he's breaking down. He's
Speaker 2: breaking down.
Speaker 1: He's breaking down stuff on the offense that never gets
Speaker 1: talked about anywhere else on TV during games, and he
Speaker 1: does it not in a tutorial or boring way.
Speaker 2: It's it's very enlightening.
Speaker 1: He I mean, the guy knows it obviously, but he
Speaker 1: can is the difference between knowing something and being able
Speaker 1: to tell somebody about something, and he has both both
Speaker 1: of those as factors in his broadcast.
Speaker 13: And the average football fan appreciates that because he's not
Speaker 13: trying to you know, act so like he's like above
Speaker 13: everybody when he is explaining it. No, Tom Brady, tom
Speaker 13: Brady has done a great, great job.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: I like him on the air.
Speaker 1: I mean, my wife the first time she heard Tony Romo, she's, God,
Speaker 1: what's he doing on there?
Speaker 2: I can't stand that guy?
Speaker 1: And you know he's only filling up half the space
Speaker 1: during the broadcast. The only thing I would tell Tom
Speaker 1: Brady it's it's TV. And all these announcers do this
Speaker 1: too much. You don't need to provide every second with
Speaker 1: audio of you because people have pictures, and why don't
Speaker 1: you like the ambience sounds?
Speaker 13: Well, why don't you pass that on to that loud
Speaker 13: mouth ask kissing John Sayda who does the red scams?
Speaker 13: Because that guy doesn't shut up, and he's going to
Speaker 13: tell you everything. And there's a piece of paper on
Speaker 13: the field. Oh, there's a piece of paper on the field.
Speaker 13: I mean, the guy just doesn't shut up, and he's
Speaker 13: the worst. And I hope he I hope he does
Speaker 13: not come back to broadcast red scam, but I think
Speaker 13: he will.
Speaker 2: But he's just horrible.
Speaker 13: So he's the worst, the worst TV reds announcer in history.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know, and there's a difference between
Speaker 1: radio and TV. Radio you don't have pictures. You've got
Speaker 1: to paint pictures with your words, right, TV, it's all there.
Speaker 2: In front of you.
Speaker 1: All you need to do is augment those pictures with
Speaker 1: good time comments exactly.
Speaker 13: I mean, how many times you look at the TV
Speaker 13: go really really really really extra?
Speaker 2: Tell me that.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady business would know this, but Tom Brady was
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was just saying things that really only a quarterback,
Speaker 1: a season quarterback would know, or a seasoned offensive player
Speaker 1: would know.
Speaker 2: That wasn't the obvious, That's what I meant.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: By the way, you can hear all of the Reds
Speaker 1: games right here on the Home of the Reds seven
Speaker 1: hundred W l W. How how are people going to
Speaker 1: be able to watch those games?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 13: Well, they've got I think it's going to be hooked
Speaker 13: up through uh. I don't know fan do or whatnot,
Speaker 13: but you'll be able to get them.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 13: They haven't announced exactly how they're going to do it
Speaker 13: then exactly announced who the announcers are. But I have
Speaker 13: a feeling when I saw that slab Sadak on the
Speaker 13: Reds caravan that he'll be uh, that he'll be behind
Speaker 13: the microphone.
Speaker 5: He's the worst. He is the worst.
Speaker 13: And I guarantee you we took a pole, a real
Speaker 13: psychific poll.
Speaker 2: He'd be gone. He'd be gone.
Speaker 5: By Reds fan, he would.
Speaker 2: Be out of here. But they won't do that.
Speaker 1: I love it when you go off on somebody, and
Speaker 1: you always go off on somebody.
Speaker 2: Well, I speak once the power. I speak truth to power.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean truth to power or just a little
Speaker 1: bullying wild man nugget once again on.
Speaker 5: The night like it is.
Speaker 2: I call it like it is.
Speaker 5: I've always called it like it is.
Speaker 13: All right, So here's the problem to you know, I
Speaker 13: would love to this to LW when I watched Reds games.
Speaker 13: But you know, if you put your you put the
Speaker 13: mute button on. You know, the Reds are like ten
Speaker 13: seconds either ahead or behind. So it really drives you
Speaker 13: crazy trying to watch the ball.
Speaker 1: It's the digital delay of the broadcast can be no
Speaker 1: very disconcerting.
Speaker 2: There's no uh no, you gotta have you gotta have
Speaker 2: a delay.
Speaker 1: Many what if what if Tom Brenneman says something about
Speaker 1: Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, let's not go there.
Speaker 1: All right, wild Man, thanks a lot for your time. Well,
Speaker 1: have a good night and we will see what happens.
Speaker 1: Hopefully talk to you next Monday night.
Speaker 2: All right, yes, sir, all right, I'll talk to you
Speaker 2: that Gary, Jeff, you got it.
Speaker 1: As always, we close out the nightcap with our national
Speaker 1: anthem to honor America, as we do right now, our
Speaker 1: star spangled banner on seven hundred W l w
