Speaker 1: In American Oh, that's the last thing you want to be.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Gary, Jeff Walker on this Valentine's Day and
Speaker 2: for Scott's loan in the middle of one of the
Speaker 2: worst flu seasons, so we've been told by them, they
Speaker 2: who know, one of the worst flu seasons in over
Speaker 2: a decade and a half. Thousands have died across the
Speaker 2: country from the virus, and it continues to be virulent,
Speaker 2: as viruses tend to be. Scott is not feeling well,
Speaker 2: and that's the understatement maybe of the week. But I
Speaker 2: saw him on Tuesday and he didn't look good, And
Speaker 2: like I'm the arbiter of what and who looks good
Speaker 2: and who doesn't. That's kind of funny saying that though
Speaker 2: he is definitely not. He said it was the worst
Speaker 2: he'd felt in thirty years, and when you get some
Speaker 2: mileage behind you, you got a good measuring stick. So
Speaker 2: we pray for his speedy recovery and believe that that
Speaker 2: will happen in good due time. Take the weekend and
Speaker 2: he'll be feeling better. I'm not affected yet, but I'm
Speaker 2: walking around breathing the same air you are, So who
Speaker 2: knows I could get lucky too. So today dedicated to
Speaker 2: those people who are dedicated to each other. Valentine's a
Speaker 2: Day of love, and three stories immediately came to mind
Speaker 2: before we get to the rest of the show. As
Speaker 2: I was contemplating Valentine's Day and true life love stories,
Speaker 2: because they are out there. You may be living one yourself.
Speaker 2: God bless you if you are.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 2: And the first one that came to mind was out
Speaker 2: of my parents, Dad's eighty eight moms eighty seven, been
Speaker 2: together last month, sixty seven years and they're still chugging
Speaker 2: in there. I'm so blessed to still have my and
Speaker 2: dad and the fact that they are still together and
Speaker 2: they love one another, put up with one another, and
Speaker 2: probably are sick and tired of each other, but they
Speaker 2: persevere nonetheless and need to visit them again real soon
Speaker 2: whenever time and workspace allows. But it is an incredible story.
Speaker 2: Anytime anybody is together for sixty seven years and they
Speaker 2: haven't killed each other or you know, something other untoward
Speaker 2: hasn't occurred, it's a beautiful thing. And that's real love,
Speaker 2: the kind that hopefully some of us aspire to.
Speaker 1: I know I do.
Speaker 2: The second story that came to mind, and the people
Speaker 2: on Valentine's Day. It's an incredible love story which is
Speaker 2: bittersweet this week. Will not give their names for privacy.
Speaker 2: This has just recently occurred, but a very good friend
Speaker 2: of mine lost his wife this week after a couple
Speaker 2: of week illness, had a stroke and a brain bleed
Speaker 2: and was taken off life support and put in hospice
Speaker 2: this week. And my prayers and thoughts are for him
Speaker 2: and their entire family as they go through. This was
Speaker 2: just heart wrenching to hear about it. But this was
Speaker 2: a love story that lasted almost six decades, fifty years,
Speaker 2: almost fifty years, and now this is sadly over and
Speaker 2: for him who's left behind, and this is the case
Speaker 2: in many of our older generations of people. She did everything,
Speaker 2: she did the cooking, she did the bills, and thank
Speaker 2: god he's got some kids around to help him pick
Speaker 2: up the pieces and try and learn how to do
Speaker 2: this for himself now because his helpmate is gone. And
Speaker 2: it breaks my heart. But a true life love story,
Speaker 2: and the third one that comes to mind is my own,
Speaker 2: my wife And if you don't know the story, real
Speaker 2: quick summary. We were married the first time in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety seven, separated, divorced, couldn't live with each other. By
Speaker 2: two thousand and one, no contact at all between us
Speaker 2: for twelve years. I didn't. I mean, once the divorce
Speaker 2: was final, that was it. My last words were to
Speaker 2: her were, I'm never getting married again. Well I didn't
Speaker 2: realize that it was true, but I was never getting
Speaker 2: married again until I got married to her for a
Speaker 2: second time New Year's Eve of twenty thirteen. She walked
Speaker 2: into the bar where I was working. Did not expect
Speaker 2: that our eyes met, our jaws dropped. Love it second sight,
Speaker 2: and we've been together ever since. So on Valentine's Day,
Speaker 2: I think about those real life true love stories.
Speaker 1: You've probably got.
Speaker 2: One of your own, and maybe maybe you'll feel like
Speaker 2: sharing it before the morning's over. Maybe not on the show.
Speaker 2: Shaheen Gabbadi, I just like getting people on his guests
Speaker 2: with the most difficult and strange names that you could
Speaker 2: find anywhere on the globe. And he will be here
Speaker 2: from the National Council of Resistance of Iran there is it,
Speaker 2: or in other words, the Iranian Parliament in exile, and
Speaker 2: we'll have him on in a few minutes.
Speaker 1: JT.
Speaker 2: Young, who's a fantastic guy, great speaker, thinker, new piece
Speaker 2: in the American Spectator, and why Democrats seem to keep
Speaker 2: doubling down on the stuff they've been called out on
Speaker 2: instead of going, yeah, you're right, we could do better.
Speaker 2: Thomas Havlin, who's a retired Air Force guy who has
Speaker 2: made it his mission since twenty twenty two to point
Speaker 2: out the strange things that are happening to our bodies
Speaker 2: since the introduction of the COVID nineteen vaccine back in
Speaker 2: late twenty twenty early twenty twenty one, and his work
Speaker 2: and research continues. Savannah Maddox, who was a legislator in
Speaker 2: the Kentucky House of Representatives.
Speaker 1: What's going on that side of the river.
Speaker 2: A guy who was trying to run for mayor of
Speaker 2: Cincinnati will be joining us. The rub is he's got
Speaker 2: to get five hundred signatures valid signatures before he can
Speaker 2: appear in a ballot. We'll talk to him a little
Speaker 2: bit after eleven. Stephen Wiliford for Gun Owners of America
Speaker 2: and my friend Rick Robinson will be in studio for
Speaker 2: a little while too, the author of the book nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty eight, local lawyer who spent lots of time in
Speaker 2: the Washington, DC swamp and survived. Happy Valentine's Day, Gary
Speaker 2: jeff In for Sloane, and we'll get it Roland in
Speaker 2: just a moment on seven hundred WLW all right, awaiting
Speaker 2: contact with our guest Shaheen Gabadi.
Speaker 1: He may or may not show up. It's okay.
Speaker 2: There's plenty to talk about and plenty going on in
Speaker 2: the world. As producer Dave Keaton was just alerting me,
Speaker 2: I had not seen the video of the Russian drone
Speaker 2: that allegedly hit the reactor for at Chernobyl, putting a
Speaker 2: big hole in this this sarcophagus that has been containing
Speaker 2: the radiation from that failed nuclear reactor and the most
Speaker 2: famous nuclear reactor meltdown in history. And my goodness, I
Speaker 2: guess all the gloves are off and anything is. I
Speaker 2: don't know, there's no limits at all, but it is.
Speaker 2: It is war, and I just can't help but think
Speaker 2: that this will be negotiated very very soon. Trump's been
Speaker 2: in office for less than a month. Already great strides
Speaker 2: have been made, so they say, and dealing with Zelenski
Speaker 2: and Putin. But man, that's got to end, and so
Speaker 2: too this thing with hamas Donald Trump as you know,
Speaker 2: gave a deadline of noon tomorrow for all the hostages
Speaker 2: to be for them to honor the original hostage deal
Speaker 2: and get our Jewish and American hostages out of Hamas's hands.
Speaker 2: And the suspected reason they have delayed so is force
Speaker 2: feeding them because they are so malneurished. The last group
Speaker 2: of hostages, as you may have seen, came out and
Speaker 2: looked like quote Holocaust survivors.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a better reference or
Speaker 1: analogy than that.
Speaker 2: So the world's still coming apart at the seams, but
Speaker 2: it seems like it's also coming to a close these things.
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons that things continue to percolate
Speaker 2: in the Middle East at such a rapid fever pace
Speaker 2: is because the Iatolas of Iran are still in charge
Speaker 2: of the money train for all the terrorists, Hesblahamas, the
Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Jihad, the Hoodies, the rebels in Yemen,
Speaker 2: and there was an attack on the Harris Truman somebody
Speaker 2: rammed a boat into it, and we've seen the terrorist
Speaker 2: attacks in Munich. Just this week, somebody drove into in Afghani,
Speaker 2: drove into a huge crowd and hurt a lot of people,
Speaker 2: which is apparently the new terrorist weapon of choice, driving
Speaker 2: vehicles into large crowds at high rates of speed.
Speaker 1: So all of that is.
Speaker 2: Going on, and meanwhile here in Cincinnati, we're dealing with
Speaker 2: keeping the Nazis off the streets, the neo Nazis off
Speaker 2: the streets, and the protests that happened in Evanston apparently
Speaker 2: was ugly. I just saw a little bit of video
Speaker 2: of it, and sometimes the best way And we had
Speaker 2: a guy in the news there at nine o'clock talking
Speaker 2: about being accosted by these idiots in Evanston, and he said,
Speaker 2: I just paid no attention. I just kept on bumping
Speaker 2: my head to my beats while they were calling me
Speaker 2: the N word and all the other things and the
Speaker 2: comments that you may have heard. And that's that's kind
Speaker 2: of the best way to treat Nazis. It's just ignore them.
Speaker 2: If they're in your face, if they're threatening physical violence
Speaker 2: or doing physical violence, you can't ignore that, obviously, But
Speaker 2: in every other regard, they really don't deserve your, my
Speaker 2: or anyone else's attention because they're such idiots, and yet
Speaker 2: they crop up every once in a while, kind of
Speaker 2: like herpies or kudzu or cancer, and then you know,
Speaker 2: you deal with them at the moment, and it's all
Speaker 2: performative theater. Like all the things that you've seen these
Speaker 2: democrats doing against Doge, and they're little temper tantrums. It's
Speaker 2: all performative theater. And they know exactly, they know exactly
Speaker 2: where the bodies are buried because they put them there,
Speaker 2: and then they put the excess money in their pockets.
Speaker 2: The gravy train is running dry, and yet they still
Speaker 2: continue to believe they can go back to that station
Speaker 2: again and ride for free. So it's but the performative theater.
Speaker 2: Did you see the press con You must have seen
Speaker 2: the press conference in Worcester or Worcester, Massachusetts. I never
Speaker 2: know how to pronounce the Worcester anyway. In Worcester, Massa, Massachusetts,
Speaker 2: the trans community was all up in arms with the
Speaker 2: city council demanding that they vote to become a sanctuary
Speaker 2: city for trans people. Now my own idea about this,
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of a good idea. Just let
Speaker 2: that be the mecca, that little city in Massachusetts. Let
Speaker 2: that be the mecca, put up a checkpoint all it,
Speaker 2: and let all of the transactivists go there and live
Speaker 2: the way they want to live.
Speaker 1: And feel safe and protected.
Speaker 2: From the mysterious, non existent boogeymen they say are trying
Speaker 2: to kill.
Speaker 1: Them and snuff them out.
Speaker 2: Because they're so confused just personally, that if you confine
Speaker 2: them to this area, they eventually will just die out
Speaker 2: because they're so confused. They won't know how to reproduce,
Speaker 2: which is a good thing, and eventually they'll do the
Speaker 2: job of weeding themselves out of society. I'd like to
Speaker 2: see that sanctuary city Worcester, Massachusetts, all trans all the time,
Speaker 2: all gone in about twenty years. Maybe that's the way
Speaker 2: to solve the problem. I don't know so anyway. J. T. Young,
Speaker 2: whose article in the American Spectator today on this Valentine's Day,
Speaker 2: February fourteenth, it's entitled the True Depths of Democrats Bankruptcy.
Speaker 2: He writes, instead of facing reality, Democrats are doubling down
Speaker 2: on failed positions. And that's the thing. These are policies
Speaker 2: that they're fighting for and ridiculous amounts of money from
Speaker 2: the taxpayers they were designating in their pet projects, their
Speaker 2: agenda that nobody or hardly anybody in this country cares
Speaker 2: about or wants and they're holding on to it man
Speaker 2: like it's a gold bar. It might be a gold
Speaker 2: bar tied around their neck, around their neck like an albatross.
Speaker 1: Real soon.
Speaker 2: The reason is because it wasn't created using conventional methods. Instead,
Speaker 2: the bankruptcy has occurred despite every advantage of America's elite
Speaker 2: could shower on Democrats. It talks about Biden's final approval ratings,
Speaker 2: which are who man almost as low as Congress or
Speaker 2: the media for that matter. The Gary jeff In for
Speaker 2: a six clot Scott Sloane today until noon five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 2: nine hundred v big one and plenty of stuff yet
Speaker 2: to cover.
Speaker 1: We'll have J. T.
Speaker 2: Young right around the corner, as I mentioned, and then
Speaker 2: at ten oh five Thomas Havlin and the white fibrous
Speaker 2: clots that to continue to be found in the corpses
Speaker 2: of people who were vaccinated vaccinated against COVID nineteen with
Speaker 2: the mRNA vaccines which we are so familiar with. Now
Speaker 2: it's all coming up in just a minute after news
Speaker 2: on seven hundred WLW All right, Gary jeff In for Sloan,
Speaker 2: as we get crank here on Valentine's Day. The Democrats
Speaker 2: are no sweetheart of the taxpayer, and apparently official Washington
Speaker 2: isn't either. And yet, in spite of all of the polling,
Speaker 2: in spite of an election, in spite of everything that
Speaker 2: we've seen so far, in the distinct, stark difference between
Speaker 2: Joe Biden administration and a Donald Trump administration, the Democrats,
Speaker 2: as JT. Young, our next guest rights, are doubling down
Speaker 2: on their bankruptcy regardless of what the people want.
Speaker 1: Or what the polls say.
Speaker 3: J T.
Speaker 2: Young is piece today and the American spectators what I'm
Speaker 2: referring to, and he's here with us on the phone now.
Speaker 1: JT. How are you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm doing great in a happy Valentine's Day to you,
Speaker 4: Garat jeb aps.
Speaker 1: I love talking to you. JT.
Speaker 2: So we've been getting, thanks to DOE and now cooperation
Speaker 2: from the GAO and the Government Services Administration, we're getting
Speaker 2: a really, really, I don't know, an icky glimpse into
Speaker 2: some of the things that our taxpayer money has been
Speaker 2: used for. And yet Democrats are defending it and fighting
Speaker 2: to keep it around, regardless of what the American people say,
Speaker 2: regardless of what the numbers say. I saw yesterday along
Speaker 2: with in HHS Apparently along with giving cocaine to puppies,
Speaker 2: there was something called Hamster Fight Club where taxpayer dollars
Speaker 2: were actually going I guess to pit hamster against hamster.
Speaker 2: And you know the number one rule of hamster fight clubs.
Speaker 2: You don't talk about Hamster fight Club, but we are.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'd never heard of anything so ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised there wasn't a gerbil deathcage match held in
Speaker 2: Richard gear arena.
Speaker 4: We haven't. We just haven't heard about it yet. It
Speaker 4: didn't happen.
Speaker 1: Well, at least in the case of Richard Gear.
Speaker 2: If that actually happened, the taxpayers weren't on the foot
Speaker 2: and the bill for that. But Hamster Fight Club, this
Speaker 2: is just one example JT of And people go, oh,
Speaker 2: that's just a drop in the bucket when you compare
Speaker 2: it to thirty six trillion. Well, you know that's how
Speaker 2: buckets get filled, drop by drop by drop. So I
Speaker 2: don't want to hear any of this as insignificant or
Speaker 2: wouldn't make a difference. Marjorie Taylor Green, in her testimony
Speaker 2: this week, outlined it very starkly, and I mean it
Speaker 2: was like, no matter what we do we're screwed, so
Speaker 2: you know, you better come to the table, you better
Speaker 2: face reality. But on your piece today and the American
Speaker 2: Spectator about the Democrats doubling down on the bankrupts, any
Speaker 2: kind of have an elaboration on that if you'd like, sir, sure, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, I think what we as Republicans and Conservatives should
Speaker 4: do is try to buy them a bigger microphone, because
Speaker 4: they just keep digging themselves into the deeper and deeper
Speaker 4: hole here and and we should welcome it, you know,
Speaker 4: from Chuck Schummer holding on avocado and a corona at
Speaker 4: a press conference to Hakeem Jeffries saying we've got to
Speaker 4: take the fight into the streets. These things are are
Speaker 4: helping prove the point that for most voters who voted
Speaker 4: for Trump, and I think even for some who didn't,
Speaker 4: that it's good that he's here in disrupting things because
Speaker 4: the Democrats just keep making themselves look worse and worse,
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, trying to defend some of these
Speaker 4: clear really just inane uses the taxpayer dollars have been
Speaker 4: going for and that have been running up a national
Speaker 4: deficit in debt. You know, last year's deficit was one
Speaker 4: point eight trillion dollars. Yeah, and you were saying, yeah,
Speaker 4: these are can be seen as drops in the bucket,
Speaker 4: and that's true, but buckets are filled by a lot
Speaker 4: of drops.
Speaker 1: And yeah, go ahead, No.
Speaker 4: And I just was going to say that, you know,
Speaker 4: the Democrats and liberals have used anecdotes and anecdotal evidence
Speaker 4: to advance their agenda successfully for decades, and I think
Speaker 4: we're seeing this with DOGE for the first time, that
Speaker 4: we're going to start getting anecdotal evidence just like you
Speaker 4: mentioned hamster fight clubs that are going to outrage taxpayers
Speaker 4: and that can be used to advance a scaling back
Speaker 4: of government that's long overdue.
Speaker 2: Well before DOGE, we were we became aware through whistleblowers, uh,
Speaker 2: and to leake to information in Foya that Anthony Fauci,
Speaker 2: amongst others, was conducting fatal tests on beagles. I mean, uh,
Speaker 2: there is so much depravity in the details of this,
Speaker 2: and you you got to ask yourself, what benefit is
Speaker 2: this to the world, to the American public number one
Speaker 2: first and foremost, and to individuals. I mean hamster fight club,
Speaker 2: cocaine for puppies, And it just goes on and on
Speaker 2: and on, and our money's paying for it. And and
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, it drops in the buck in the
Speaker 2: I R S is being audited today by Doge, and
Speaker 2: the Democrats are going nuts again saying, oh, they're gonna
Speaker 2: get the hands of every taxpayer's Social Security number so
Speaker 2: Elon Musk can steal their money. It is so just
Speaker 2: out of the box crazy. Their arguments against just finding
Speaker 2: and pointing out the waste. They don't want the waste
Speaker 2: pointed out. Elon Musk alone and Doze cannot just take
Speaker 2: these things away.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2: What he's doing, though, is exposing them to sunlight, and
Speaker 2: sunlight is the best disinfectant. And that's what this is
Speaker 2: all about. It's about exposing the government waste. It's about
Speaker 2: exposing the corruption. It's about exposing the little crony petty
Speaker 2: projects that don't do the American people any good at all.
Speaker 4: No, and actually, and probably as we see more of
Speaker 4: these have been doing harm. Ye, not just from wasteful spending,
Speaker 4: but from some of the things that have been done.
Speaker 4: And we've got to step back and remember we're not
Speaker 4: a month into this administration. You know, you and I
Speaker 4: are both you know, reveling in what's been revealed. They've
Speaker 4: just started. I mean, these are just the first things
Speaker 4: they found. Imagine what's going to be coming to light
Speaker 4: when the examinations gets more thorough and hopefully in some
Speaker 4: of these egregious cases, Congress takes their oversight authority and
Speaker 4: starts doing hearings and investigations, you know, and and really
Speaker 4: starts to reveal and follow the threads, not just from
Speaker 4: some one inane spending program, but tying these together as
Speaker 4: to who is getting the money, what it was being
Speaker 4: used for, how much money was being done, what kind
Speaker 4: of oversight was being conducted. I think we're going to
Speaker 4: be shocked because this is what happens when you have
Speaker 4: millions of bureaucrats spending billions of dollars. I mean, there's
Speaker 4: no over sight. We don't know what's been going on.
Speaker 4: And it's long pastime that we found out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, it's pastime we found out. But they're
Speaker 2: upset that we're finding out because none of these in
Speaker 2: the bills that the Congress passes that there wasn't cocaine
Speaker 2: for puppies in any of these bills. There wasn't Hamster
Speaker 2: Fight Club. And those are just two little examples. But
Speaker 2: these other insane things like the transgender comic books in
Speaker 2: Ecuador and the play the transsexual play in other parts
Speaker 2: of parts of the world that we were paying for.
Speaker 2: Those those are not in the legislation. They just ear
Speaker 2: a certain amount of money for USAID or for HHS,
Speaker 2: and that agency has carte blanche to use it for,
Speaker 2: you know, whatever purpose they deem fit and necessary. And
Speaker 2: when Trump fired the inspector generals at these agencies, these
Speaker 2: inspector generals are the ones that are supposed to be
Speaker 2: the watchdogs for wasteful spending, and right he fired them
Speaker 2: because they weren't doing their job obviously, right.
Speaker 4: It becomes very similar to the you know, the Sherlock
Speaker 4: Holmes story, the key, the key clue being the dog
Speaker 4: that didn't bark. And that's the case here, and it
Speaker 4: should tell us a lot as to why weren't inspector
Speaker 4: generals doing their job. And I think is pretty clear
Speaker 4: that everybody was in everybody knew the game. They weren't looking,
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of these were just being sinecures
Speaker 4: that they were in place, and who knows what they
Speaker 4: were doing. And it's again long since time that we
Speaker 4: found out and put a stop to some of this,
Speaker 4: and we are piling up debt on debt on debt
Speaker 4: onto ourselves and to our children. And it's not just
Speaker 4: the future consequences, it's current because the money the government
Speaker 4: is borrowing is taking away from available resources that the
Speaker 4: private sector could be used to actually create real jobs,
Speaker 4: real value, and real income for Americans.
Speaker 1: JT.
Speaker 2: Young, I want to talk to you in a moment,
Speaker 2: and we're going to take a break. I want to
Speaker 2: talk to you when we come back about this Republican.
Speaker 2: A US attorney in New York, in the Southern District
Speaker 2: of New York, has resigned because she refused to follow
Speaker 2: the Trump order to drop the charges against the New
Speaker 2: York Eric Adams. And they're talking about a quid pro quo, Well,
Speaker 2: what about the quid pro quo that may have got
Speaker 2: Adams indicted by the Biden DOJ in the first place?
Speaker 1: JT.
Speaker 2: Young from The American Spectator Our guests for the next
Speaker 2: few minutes, Gary Jeffin for Sloan at seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: I continue our discussion with J. T.
Speaker 3: Young.
Speaker 2: New piece out in the American Spectator today. If you
Speaker 2: read such things and I wanted to ask you about
Speaker 2: this Eric Adams deal because Daniel Sassoon, who was appointed
Speaker 2: by Trump to the interim term as this US attorney
Speaker 2: in the Southern District of Manhattan, New York, a Republican,
Speaker 2: was asked by the Trump DOJ to drop the charges
Speaker 2: against Eric Adams, the corruption campaign charges and the like,
Speaker 2: and she said, no, I mean, there's real stuff here
Speaker 2: and I'm not going and do it. So she has
Speaker 2: she has stepped down now. And apparently Adam's attorneys went
Speaker 2: to the met at the White House and there was
Speaker 2: some kind of deal made where Eric Adams, you know,
Speaker 2: agreed to cooperate with Ice and the Trump immigration program
Speaker 2: in exchange for this is what is being said and
Speaker 2: being thought, in exchange for the charges being dropped. And
Speaker 2: she said no, But wasn't it a quid pro quo?
Speaker 2: It seemed like it. When Eric Adams started speaking out
Speaker 2: about all of the illegals being shipped to his city
Speaker 2: and straining their resources and creating all of this and
Speaker 2: causing all of this crime, and he spoke out against
Speaker 2: the Biden administration and lo and behold, about a month
Speaker 2: later there are all these charges filed, federal charges filed
Speaker 2: against him for campaign violations and all the like, So
Speaker 2: it seems like it's it's a deal either way. It's
Speaker 2: all hinged on immigration and the administration's two takes on
Speaker 2: it and your take on this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm just learning in the details on this,
Speaker 5: and I don't think we, you know, are fully going
Speaker 5: to know the details of why the charges were brought
Speaker 5: against Adams in the first place.
Speaker 3: You mentioned the very.
Speaker 4: Suspicious coincidence that as soon as Adams started speaking out
Speaker 4: about all the illegal immigrants being dumped in New York
Speaker 4: and the strains that that was putting on his resources
Speaker 4: as mayor, that suddenly he was charged. I don't know
Speaker 4: the particulars of this case, and I'm only you know,
Speaker 4: becoming aware of the background of the attorney involved here.
Speaker 4: I mean, her credentials certainly seem to be very, very respectable,
Speaker 4: and she seems to be a conservative at heart.
Speaker 3: I don't know the.
Speaker 4: Details, but I do think that this takes us back
Speaker 4: to the question that has been raised with Cash Pattel's hearing,
Speaker 4: in which he looks like he will be confirmed, and
Speaker 4: I think was the same thing with Pam Bondi as
Speaker 4: Attorney General, which is that the DOJ and the FBI
Speaker 4: have sadly been weaponized, and we need to get to
Speaker 4: the bottom of what's been done, why it's been done,
Speaker 4: and we need to take that out. We need to
Speaker 4: have a Department of Justice, an FBI that is pursuing
Speaker 4: real crime based on crime, not politics. Yeah, and I
Speaker 4: think for too long we haven't had that.
Speaker 2: We well, we saw what happened with President Trump and
Speaker 2: the law fair that was manufactured against him by the
Speaker 2: previous Department of Justice under Merrick Garland, and we saw that.
Speaker 2: I mean, they tried not only to put him in jail,
Speaker 2: but also to bankrupt him, and all that did was
Speaker 2: elevate him in the polls. So because people saw it
Speaker 2: through it, people saw it for what it was. It
Speaker 2: was just a weaponization of the justice system against one man.
Speaker 2: And this weaponization really began in earnest when he announced
Speaker 2: that he was going to run again for president.
Speaker 1: That's when it all jimmed up. That's when it kicked up.
Speaker 4: So I think twenty twenty three you started seeing the
Speaker 4: four the charges by four different Democrat prosecutors across the country,
Speaker 4: and just as you said, it played out, but it
Speaker 4: didn't play out the way they expected it to.
Speaker 2: Nope, Nope, they thought they were going to get away
Speaker 2: with the Third world Banana Republic kangaroo court crap, and
Speaker 2: the American people didn't buy it because it was it
Speaker 2: was as phony as you know, the paper the charges were.
Speaker 1: Filed upon.
Speaker 2: But anyway, back to back to Democrats doubling down on
Speaker 2: the nonsense and the waste in government. It's not just
Speaker 2: it's not just Democrats. I mean, there are Republican swamp creatures.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Mitch McConnell comes immediately to mind,
Speaker 2: is a swamp creature from establishment Washington, the only Republican
Speaker 2: to vote against the confirmation of RFK Junior for HHS Secretary.
Speaker 2: But even more so there there are those Republicans involved.
Speaker 2: It's not just a one party issue. The malfeasance and
Speaker 2: and but but the Democrats, that's all they've got to
Speaker 2: hold on to right now. You know, Republicans are falling,
Speaker 2: falling in behind Trump. The Democrats don't have a leader
Speaker 2: to fall in behind right now, and I think that's
Speaker 2: part of the reason they're doubling down and making all
Speaker 2: these ridiculous noises about taking the streets. You know, I've
Speaker 2: noticed that nobody has really joined in their their message
Speaker 2: to take to the streets against those or anything else.
Speaker 1: Trump.
Speaker 4: Yet, well, you'll notice when they have their rallies, they
Speaker 4: are the only people who show up.
Speaker 2: There's well them, them in popular them in federal employees.
Speaker 4: Yes, right, I mean it's so uh you know, they're
Speaker 4: having demonstrations and they're and they're going out, but it's
Speaker 4: not connecting. And I think again that for most Americans
Speaker 4: as they are, they question you know, the spending here,
Speaker 4: what government employers are doing, you know, the idea that
Speaker 4: that they're all working from home.
Speaker 1: They're doubling down.
Speaker 2: They're doubling down on something that's very unpopular with the
Speaker 2: American people overall.
Speaker 1: JT.
Speaker 2: Young, thank you so much for joining me this morning.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. On the last minute call and we'll
Speaker 2: talk soon. My friend Thomas Hablin up next after the news.
Speaker 2: It's seven hundred Wican Grry Jeff on Valentine's Day and
Speaker 2: for Scott's loan on seven hundred wlw IF. I am
Speaker 2: a little bit distracted more than usual. I just found
Speaker 2: out from my wife, my Valentine, that our cat dog Brooksy,
Speaker 2: has had to be rushed to the vet this morning
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, yewling panting and just not being brooksy.
Speaker 2: So God knows what will come of that, but I
Speaker 2: will try and maintain focus as we continue on this Friday.
Speaker 2: Rick Robinson is in the studio. He'll be joining us
Speaker 2: for our little shit down chat at ten thirty five,
Speaker 2: but he's welcome to chime in at any time.
Speaker 1: I may need the help.
Speaker 2: Now, how dare you bring up Hamster?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How dare I bring up Hamster Fight Club? You'll hear
Speaker 2: him later when his microphone is on. So anyway, in
Speaker 2: this half hour, our first guest is a guy named
Speaker 2: Thomas Hablin who's retired US Air Force and who started
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. Some personal motivation certainly at work
Speaker 2: here after being fired from his job from not taking
Speaker 2: the COVID nineteen vaccine and being a good little sheep.
Speaker 2: Started in twenty twenty two he had talked to an
Speaker 2: embalmer who was finding these large white fibrous clots in
Speaker 2: corpses he was working on that he had never seen
Speaker 2: before in greater and greater frequency, and it turned out
Speaker 2: that all of the corpses were people that had had
Speaker 2: the mRNA vaccine. And he's continued to do these surveys
Speaker 2: he's got a new one out of Worldwide Survey and
Speaker 2: he's here to talk with us about that right now.
Speaker 1: Thomas Havlin, good morning.
Speaker 7: Hey, Gary Jeff. Thanks for having me on the show again.
Speaker 7: They have to talk about this very very serious subject
Speaker 7: of these white fibrous cloths.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so do they know what they are?
Speaker 2: Is what is in these white clots that they are
Speaker 2: finding inside the corpses of those who have been vaccinated
Speaker 2: with the mRNA.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, it's certainly not blood coagulating because normal blood
Speaker 7: has high amounts of potassium, magnesium, and iron. Iron is
Speaker 7: what gives blood it's red color. These things are white
Speaker 7: in color. They've analyzed them in a lab and they
Speaker 7: found that they actually contained large amounts of the element
Speaker 7: phosphorus as well as fibrinogen, which is a natural protein
Speaker 7: produced by our liver that you in the normal clotting process.
Speaker 7: But that clouting process is being altered, Gary Jeff. Instead
Speaker 7: of the fibrinogen, which is usually in a liquid form
Speaker 7: converting into white solid called fibrine whenever we have normal
Speaker 7: wound in our veins or arteries and clot forms to
Speaker 7: to heal the wound, instead the fibrinogen is not being
Speaker 7: completely converted into fibrin is converting into this bizarre polymer
Speaker 7: of the fibrigen combined with the spike protein from the
Speaker 7: vaccines as well as the fossil lip and nanoparticle from
Speaker 7: the vaccine. So this is a disaster we've got going on.
Speaker 7: And it forms these very bizarre, large rubbery cloths that
Speaker 7: look like kind of like calamari, and they stretch like
Speaker 7: rubber bands.
Speaker 2: And they had not seen these before the advent of
Speaker 2: the COVID nineteen vaccine into the population.
Speaker 7: Right, there were a few bombers that said they did
Speaker 7: see the phenomenon in twenty twenty and that kind of
Speaker 7: makes sense because the covid virus itself has a spike
Speaker 7: protein on the surface. But then the phenomenon exploded in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one after the rollout of the vaccines, because
Speaker 7: I believe it. You know, the vaccines are producing much
Speaker 7: more spike protein that can get into the bloodstream. So
Speaker 7: that's what's.
Speaker 1: Happening, all right.
Speaker 2: So tell me about your own personal story about being dismissed,
Speaker 2: summarily dismissed for not getting the COVID nineteen vaccines for
Speaker 2: your objecting to getting them.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I had already retired from the Air Force, did
Speaker 7: twenty years in the Air Force, and I was on
Speaker 7: my sixteenth year as a defense contractor working with the
Speaker 7: Air Force when in October twenty twenty one, Joe Biden's
Speaker 7: vaccine mandates came down to not just the military and
Speaker 7: government civilians, but US defense contractors too. I was working
Speaker 7: in a Rye Patterson Air Force Base and I decided
Speaker 7: to send a three star Air Force general who had
Speaker 7: sent out kind of a nasty message of trying to
Speaker 7: guilt us into getting the jabs. I sent him back
Speaker 7: an email, Gary Jeff, and I said, shame on you.
Speaker 7: Instead of standing up for our right to decide for
Speaker 7: ourselves whether or not just take an experimental drug, you
Speaker 7: chose to spend your time trying to guilt us into
Speaker 7: taking the jab Shame on you. And I didn't just
Speaker 7: send the email to him. I see seed all thirty
Speaker 7: thousand people to work at Rye Patterson Air Force Base.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, maybe you're a little bit too loud.
Speaker 7: So I knew what was going to happen.
Speaker 3: I got fired.
Speaker 7: I got a call a half hour later from my
Speaker 7: boss and I was fired for my one hundred and
Speaker 7: sixty five thousand dollars a year job as an electrical
Speaker 7: engineer at the base for Shame in the Air Force,
Speaker 7: three star general. But you know what, it was a
Speaker 7: blessing in a way because it led me to then
Speaker 7: have the time to do these blood cloth surveys. I
Speaker 7: watched that movie Died Suddenly when it premiered in November
Speaker 7: of twenty twenty two. About six or seven and bombers
Speaker 7: in that movie. It's about an hour long, and people
Speaker 7: can still watch it on Rumble, but about half that
Speaker 7: movie is devoted to these six or seven of balmbers
Speaker 7: that said they were fined in these unusual white fibers
Speaker 7: clots in their corpses. So the next day after I
Speaker 7: watched that movie, the night of premiered, it was a
Speaker 7: week of Thanksgiving of November twenty twenty two, I called
Speaker 7: the Ohio and Balmer's Association, located right in Cincinnati, and
Speaker 7: I talked to their vice president at the time, who
Speaker 7: is now the president of the Ohio and Balmer Association,
Speaker 7: mister Woody Wilson, who runs his own funeral home up
Speaker 7: in Marysville, Ohio, and he does his own embalming a
Speaker 7: lot of funeral directors do their own embalming, right and wood,
Speaker 7: He said to me, Tom, I'm seeing the white fiber's
Speaker 7: clots too. So I said, well, that was a wild moment.
Speaker 7: Right now, I have an official officer from the Ohio
Speaker 7: and Balmer's Association corroborating these six or seven in balmers
Speaker 7: in this diet Suddenly movie. So right then and there,
Speaker 7: I decided I needed to do a nationwide survey, which
Speaker 7: then I later on turned into a worldwide survey survey
Speaker 7: by including Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand to
Speaker 7: see how prevalent these white fiber's clots were. Now, I
Speaker 7: tell you, Gary Jeffy, the results are shocking.
Speaker 2: And well, can you expound on shocking. You say they're shocking,
Speaker 2: and that's just a blanket statement, and I'm sure they are.
Speaker 2: But give me an example of how shocking they are.
Speaker 7: Tom, Okay, survey I've done where three hundred and one
Speaker 7: embalmers around the world have responded to this latest survey
Speaker 7: that I completed just in December a couple months ago.
Speaker 7: Out of the three hundred and one inbalmers, two hundred
Speaker 7: and fifty of them, eighty three percent are still seeing
Speaker 7: these unusual white fibrous clots through the year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 7: And here's the kicker, Garry Jeff. They're seeing them on
Speaker 7: an average of twenty seven percent of their corpses. One
Speaker 7: out of every four corpse has this phenomenon in them.
Speaker 7: They're also seeing another phenomenon called microclotting, which they describe
Speaker 7: as what looks like coffee grounds are dirty blood and
Speaker 7: the drainage coming off the corpses they're trying to get
Speaker 7: them from aldehyde. End seventy eight percent of the embalmers
Speaker 7: are seeing that phenomenon. This is the phenomena, by the way,
Speaker 7: they used to exist before the years of COVID and
Speaker 7: the vaccines microclotting, but in less than five percent of
Speaker 7: their corpses, usually patients that had heavy chemotherapy. But now
Speaker 7: they're seeing that phenomenon in twenty two percent of the corpses,
Speaker 7: so it's at least a quadrupling of the microclotting effect.
Speaker 7: Of course, the white fiberus clause. Like I said, these
Speaker 7: bombers have twenty or thirty years of experience and never
Speaker 7: saw these prior to the years of COVID to the jabs,
Speaker 7: So this is a really strange phenomenon they're seeing, and
Speaker 7: it's actually linked in the process that it takes to
Speaker 7: do an involvement from about an hour and a half
Speaker 7: to two and a half hours when they find a
Speaker 7: body that's riddled with these cloths.
Speaker 2: Have you looked at the adverse effects of myocarditis and
Speaker 2: in living persons who have had the COVID nineteen jabs
Speaker 2: and now are are living with the mRNA inside their system.
Speaker 1: What do we know about the living.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the miacritis. You know, that's a different issue
Speaker 7: in doctor Peter McCullough, the famous cardiologist that's really tracking
Speaker 7: that one well. And there's some troubling signs there as well,
Speaker 7: because there have been studies out that There was one
Speaker 7: high school study that was done in Thailand a couple
Speaker 7: of years ago. They gave three hundred and one high
Speaker 7: school students MRIs EKGs and checked their coroponent levels and
Speaker 7: they've checked out their hearts were all perfectly fine. Then
Speaker 7: they gave them all two shots of the Pfizer vaccine.
Speaker 7: Then they went and did their MRIs EKGs and checked
Speaker 7: their caroponent levels again, and they found that seven out
Speaker 7: of the three hundred and one kids developed either myocroditis, perachroditis,
Speaker 7: or subclinical miacarditis. So seven hearts were damaged after the
Speaker 7: vaccine in that particular prospective study. So it's that's one
Speaker 7: out of every forty three for that side effect of myrocroditis.
Speaker 8: So when they when they tell.
Speaker 7: Us that these things are rare, like I said, the
Speaker 7: bombers were finding these white fiber's clots, and one out
Speaker 7: of every four corps they've never seen before miacroditis, and
Speaker 7: one out of every forty three kids, it's not as
Speaker 7: rare as the CDC would.
Speaker 8: Like to have you believe.
Speaker 2: Okay, where can people find your work, Thomas, your surveys think.
Speaker 7: Yeah, My assistant Laura Kasner has a substack that we
Speaker 7: affectionately call clottastrophe to play on the word catastrophe, and
Speaker 7: you can find that at Laura Kasner. It's spelled ka
Speaker 7: s n e R Laura Kasner dot substack dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you so much, Tom for your time,
Speaker 2: and thanks to keep up the good work. Let us
Speaker 2: know if you find out anything new.
Speaker 7: Thanks Gary, Jeff, you got it.
Speaker 2: Savannah Maddos with an update from the Kentucky House coming
Speaker 2: up on the Scott Slan Show. I'm Gary Jeffen for
Speaker 2: Sloani on seven utter WLW. As a resident of Kentucky,
Speaker 2: it's good to know that there are people who are
Speaker 2: working on our behalf for the betterment and for continued
Speaker 2: liberty we enjoy in the Bluegrass. And one of those
Speaker 2: people is Savannah Mattocks from the sixty first District in
Speaker 2: the House of Representatives in the state of the Commonwealth
Speaker 2: of Kentucky. Savannah Mattics, you guys have been in session,
Speaker 2: You've been drafting bills.
Speaker 1: Tell me what's going on in Frankfort.
Speaker 6: Well, my top priority. This week I filed a bill
Speaker 6: that has created quite a splash. I want to move
Speaker 6: the issuance of the standard driver's licenses back to our
Speaker 6: counties where they belong with our circuit clerks. I have
Speaker 6: had so many Kentuckians call me frustrated because they've waited
Speaker 6: hours in line, sometimes had to drive long distances, and
Speaker 6: whenever they show up, don't have the documentation that they
Speaker 6: thought they needed. So it has been a very frustrating
Speaker 6: or deal. But we want to address what we can
Speaker 6: with real ida and fix it once and for all.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the DMV is never a fun place
Speaker 2: to be in my experience, no matter how streamlined and
Speaker 2: how good the employees are who are dealing with you
Speaker 2: and trying to help you out. It's just it's always
Speaker 2: frustrating at a certain level. But yes, not being able
Speaker 2: to go to a location you know and deal with
Speaker 2: people you know to do something as simple as renewing
Speaker 2: your driver's license is a hassle that frankly, I you
Speaker 2: everybody else doesn't need. And why was it moved in
Speaker 2: the first place, Savannah.
Speaker 6: So back in two thousand and five, twenty years ago,
Speaker 6: Congress passed the real ID Act, which was a knee
Speaker 6: jerk reaction to nine to eleven. So the States they
Speaker 6: dragged their feet, and I would like to see them
Speaker 6: continue dragging their feet because the implementation is supposed to
Speaker 6: take place finally in May. They haven't really talked about
Speaker 6: moving it. But long story shorts, the States cannot do
Speaker 6: away with real ID. But what a lot of people
Speaker 6: don't realize is that if they want to travel on
Speaker 6: an airplane or visit a military base or restricted federal buildings,
Speaker 6: they can do so with a passport or a passport card.
Speaker 6: They don't have to have their driver's license have a
Speaker 6: real ID. And that's why I filed the bill I did.
Speaker 6: If you want to renew your standard license, you should
Speaker 6: be able to do it right in your county like
Speaker 6: you always did, and not have to drive two hours
Speaker 6: to a regional office only to wait three or four more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: I've been dealing with this real life ID issue like
Speaker 2: everybody else for a while, and I never have quite
Speaker 2: understood how the US government could put unvetted people who
Speaker 2: are citizens of other countries on planes and fly them
Speaker 2: all over the country without any idea at all. And
Speaker 2: yet if you're an American citizen, you've got to have
Speaker 2: a real ID to get on a plane starting in Maya,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five in Kentucky. I I'm sorry, and this
Speaker 2: is a law passed by the United States Congress. Maybe
Speaker 2: this is something we should ask Thomas Massey and some others.
Speaker 2: Can we can we undo this this real ID thing?
Speaker 6: It would be it would be a heavy lift. But
Speaker 6: from where I'm standing, it is one of the biggest
Speaker 6: violations of our privacy rights. And frankly, it's an unfunded
Speaker 6: mandate too that has ever been foisted upon the States.
Speaker 6: So between that and a lot of the surveillance measures
Speaker 6: through the Patriot Act. I think that it's very clear
Speaker 6: what happens whenever the government uses the most dire of
Speaker 6: circumstances to turn around and infringe upon the civil liberties
Speaker 6: of its citizens.
Speaker 2: Don't let a crisis go to waste.
Speaker 1: Get it, absolutely.
Speaker 2: Those Get those jabs in everybody's arms, or we're all
Speaker 2: going to die. And you can think of example after
Speaker 2: example after example. I mean the my god, the Patriot
Speaker 2: Act in and of itself is one of those issues
Speaker 2: stemming from nine to eleven and the NADA and all
Speaker 2: this other alphabet soup that's foisted upon us in a
Speaker 2: time of crisis, in a time of emergency, to make
Speaker 2: it look like they're doing something other than taking our
Speaker 2: personal individual liberty away. Is there anything going on in
Speaker 2: the legislature here in the last minute and a half.
Speaker 2: We've got Savannah that your you're leery of or wary of,
Speaker 2: that's been introduced. Anything to kind of watch for in Kentucky?
Speaker 6: It is early. Things have been pretty calm for the
Speaker 6: most part. We're not in a budget session. We're just
Speaker 6: in a thirty day There have been a multitude of
Speaker 6: bills at a file that I'm kind of watching, But
Speaker 6: as of now, most of the bad bills so to speak,
Speaker 6: pass kind of towards the end. But I am remaining
Speaker 6: ever vigilance because, as you know, when the Kentucky General
Speaker 6: Assembly is in session yet, you have to watch out
Speaker 6: and make sure that those Republicans, since we have a majority,
Speaker 6: are doing what they're supposed to be doing and not
Speaker 6: taking up any uniparty antics.
Speaker 2: Uniparty antics, I love it, but it'd be nice if
Speaker 2: both parties would agree on stuff that's actually good for
Speaker 2: the people that they work for and we could leave
Speaker 2: the antics behind.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, it'd be good if they would remove the state's
Speaker 6: portion of the property tax on motor vehicles. I followed
Speaker 6: that bill as well. That's a work in progress. I
Speaker 6: am hopeful that we can get that done. If not
Speaker 6: this session, the next.
Speaker 2: And the governor wants to lower the income tax, I
Speaker 2: would be in favor of eliminating it all together.
Speaker 6: Actually, yes, we need to eliminate it. They lowered it
Speaker 6: a half a percent, but you know, a half a
Speaker 6: percent whenever you're also adjusting other sales taxes and creating
Speaker 6: new taxes, you know, it's kind of a wash. Tax
Speaker 6: reform has to be revenue negative. We need spending cuts.
Speaker 6: That's what we need.
Speaker 2: Well, good luck, and that could echo all the way
Speaker 2: to Washington, DC, and I think they're finally having their
Speaker 2: feet put to the fire on that thanks to Doze
Speaker 2: and the other things that the Trump administration is doing.
Speaker 2: So Vanomatics, thank you for doing a good job for
Speaker 2: the Commonwealth of Kentucky and it's citizens.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk to you again soon, I hope.
Speaker 6: All right, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: All right, great.
Speaker 2: Rick Robinson in studio with us next on the Scott's
Speaker 2: Loan Show, Gary Jeffin for Sloaning on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: No matter, the show must go on, is the adage.
Speaker 1: So that's what we do.
Speaker 2: Gary Jeffin for Scott's Loan on this Friday, Valentine's Day,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Joining us in the studio is my
Speaker 2: friend Rick Robinson, who is a local lawyer and author
Speaker 2: and spent lots of time in the DC swamp and
Speaker 2: came out well, it doesn't smell swamp like anymore.
Speaker 1: I guess he's had time to wash it off in
Speaker 1: the interim years.
Speaker 2: I went fishing in the swamp that was so Yeah,
Speaker 2: when you have on hip waiters and you go on
Speaker 2: to the swamp and go fly fishing, you you got protected,
Speaker 2: You're protected. Yeah, you're a little bit better. And how
Speaker 2: dare you? How dare you you know the rules? What
Speaker 2: are the rules of Hamster Fight Club? I mean, for
Speaker 2: God's sake, now you're going and putting hand. You know,
Speaker 2: you're talking about Hamster Fight Club, but you're telling the
Speaker 2: world about Hamster Fight Club. I am absolutely a palled
Speaker 2: at your your your lack of security for Hamster fight Club. Also,
Speaker 2: I did mention the Gerbil Cage deathmatch and Richard Richard
Speaker 2: gar Arena.
Speaker 1: Well you know that.
Speaker 2: But but taxpayers didn't bite. Yeah, my guess is that
Speaker 2: we did not back they're paid for.
Speaker 1: At that point. It was certainly.
Speaker 2: Cocaine for puppies. This was part of the research too.
Speaker 2: They were getting puppies, little puppies, cute little puppies jacked
Speaker 2: up on coke. Maybe that's where the cocaine that they
Speaker 2: found in the White House came from. It was from Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's from Commander Biden's dog come in. That's why I
Speaker 2: was biting the Secret Service agents whoa.
Speaker 1: Come down there?
Speaker 2: Very you got a dog that can't bark because they
Speaker 2: can't unclenched his.
Speaker 1: Little nummies for his gummies.
Speaker 2: Actually, with the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Life coming up,
Speaker 2: that you know, that would be the perfect skit of
Speaker 2: the of the of the you know, the the scientists
Speaker 2: giving coke to dog to puppies to see how they react.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a skit in there somewhere, probably for
Speaker 2: a sick mind, and you're on it. Well, you know,
Speaker 2: that was the beauty of Saturday Life though, Gary Jeff
Speaker 2: when it first came out, is that you had you
Speaker 2: had writers like Michael o'donahue, the Dark Trimps, you know
Speaker 2: who wrote those really really dark sketches. You had, You
Speaker 2: had all kinds of brilliant minds, and they weren't They
Speaker 2: weren't necessarily politicized, you know like today it's and for
Speaker 2: the made fun of everybody. Yeah, they did, but it
Speaker 2: wasn't when when it was a political joke, it was
Speaker 2: like something that everybody could laugh along with. Basically, who
Speaker 2: could who couldn't laugh at Jerry Ford falling down? Well, yes,
Speaker 2: I mean that would that that was then and remains
Speaker 2: today funny. But they never did any joke like that.
Speaker 2: When Iden fell a lot more than Jerry Ford fell,
Speaker 2: going up and downstairs on standing on a bike, you know,
Speaker 2: dripping over sandbags on a stage. Biden was the master
Speaker 2: of the pratfall and it wasn't funny. Well they did
Speaker 2: not make fun of that though, And there, I think
Speaker 2: is the difference. You know, you're talking about fifth this
Speaker 2: weekend and we're going to be having the fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 2: of Saturday Night Live coming up. I'm going to be
Speaker 2: watching it. I grew up on that show. I can
Speaker 2: remember I had a curfew when I was a kid
Speaker 2: down in Ludlow. And even when I had a date
Speaker 2: on a Saturday night man, she was home by ten
Speaker 2: thirty because I wanted to be home in time to
Speaker 2: watch Saturday Night Live, which which I ought to tell
Speaker 2: you something of why I didn't have many dates in
Speaker 2: high school. But but you know, I mean, that was
Speaker 2: kind of the you know, that was the setup of
Speaker 2: of our age of going to it. But the writing
Speaker 2: was so good, you know, because he had all these
Speaker 2: guys who were coming over from the National Lampoon who
Speaker 2: are either writing or starring, I mean, or Second City
Speaker 2: TV or Second City in Toronto.
Speaker 1: It went it went to Second City.
Speaker 2: But the first group of folks that came over, they
Speaker 2: were all from the old Center, are from the old
Speaker 2: National Lampoon Radio hours. And you know, just some brilliant,
Speaker 2: brilliant writing, brilliant. You know, Michael O'Donaghue wrote for Lampoon.
Speaker 3: What was it?
Speaker 1: Buck Buck? Henry Buck, Henry Buck.
Speaker 2: Henry was one of those who was your favorite skit,
Speaker 2: my favorite skit, my favorite skit, your favorite skit, my
Speaker 2: favorite skit. I don't know, it's hard to pick one.
Speaker 2: I liked the Samurai stuff with Blushi a lot. I
Speaker 2: liked I like mister Robinson with Eddie Murphy, mister Robinson's neighborhood,
Speaker 2: Hell old boys and girls. Yeah, I wonder, I wonder how.
Speaker 2: I wonder how Smokey going gonna go to play without
Speaker 2: any percussion? The greatest line in the skits, it's the
Speaker 2: police boys and girls and uh and the gum bit
Speaker 2: and uh oh. I love the basmatic bit with men's
Speaker 2: synchronized swimming. Oh you you, I know you, I know,
Speaker 2: you know you're not mad at him. You're not mad
Speaker 2: at him. You're glad to see him. You know, those
Speaker 2: were you know, the land shark. How many times do
Speaker 2: you still use today and in today's jargon?
Speaker 1: Do you.
Speaker 2: Know I still look at people from that that skit,
Speaker 2: the synchronized swimming swimming skin.
Speaker 1: I'll still look at people and go, he's not a
Speaker 1: real strong swimmer, you know, I love it.
Speaker 2: Stuart Smally, Stuart. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and
Speaker 2: dog on it. People like me. Al Franken, I you know,
Speaker 2: I met Al Franklin one time, right whether I took
Speaker 2: my last job, when I was in Washington. Before I
Speaker 2: even got to the office, Franklin was in town here
Speaker 2: for a fundraiser, and it was it was funny Gary Jeff,
Speaker 2: because they said, whatever you do when you go over there,
Speaker 2: don't tell him you worked for Bunning. Because Bunning ended
Speaker 2: his career in Washington year or two before that, and
Speaker 2: he had been loud about abiding by the rules. His
Speaker 2: last two weeks were an absolute hell for him. In fact,
Speaker 2: somebody was arrested for trying to for threatening to kill
Speaker 2: him and actually showed up at the office in northern
Speaker 2: Kentucky because he insisted that, of all things, remarkably that
Speaker 2: an extension of employment benefits as required by the laws
Speaker 2: of the Senate Rules of the Senate should be paid for,
Speaker 2: and he kept saying, fine, put payment on the other side,
Speaker 2: how are we paying for it? And why they wouldn't.
Speaker 2: He would go down every day and list the objection.
Speaker 2: So frank and I'm sitting there talking to him and
Speaker 2: he keeps plot So now you're going to be doing what?
Speaker 2: And finally he just said, you were on the who
Speaker 2: did you work for? And I look around and you
Speaker 2: can see the people in the scared look in their eyes.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to say, you know the biggest conservative
Speaker 2: while you were there? And I say, Jim Bunning. He
Speaker 2: starts laughing. He goes, I love Jim, and he told
Speaker 2: this great story Bunning is They're coming back from the
Speaker 2: Capitol on one of the trains. Jim has just gotten
Speaker 2: beat up. This is his final days that Al frankenhe
Speaker 2: had brought in a baseball because he wanted to ask
Speaker 2: Jim if they could go into the garage and have
Speaker 2: a toss. He said, I know Bunning's about to leave.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, what great thing can I do? I've never
Speaker 2: had a toss with a hall with the Hall of Famer,
Speaker 2: he said. So we're on the We're on the train
Speaker 2: we're going back. I look over at Jim and I said,
Speaker 2: I said, Jim, would it be okay? He said, And
Speaker 2: before I got the words out, Jim looks at me
Speaker 2: and shouts no. Franken says. He sits up at his
Speaker 2: charity and Jim goes, you know what I want, Franken,
Speaker 2: and he began ends to unleash this kursefeld tirade of
Speaker 2: basically saying, I've been in sports and politics my entire life,
Speaker 2: and I want a plaque that says I had to
Speaker 2: deal with the press every damn day for however many years.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They get off the train.
Speaker 2: Frank and his shell shocked, he writes down every word,
Speaker 2: Jim says, goes out and buys a plaque.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Rick Robinson in the studio with us on the Scott's
Speaker 2: Loan Show, Gary jeff in for Slowly.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after a break.
Speaker 2: When we come back, I want you to retell the
Speaker 2: story about how you almost killed Dan Quayle in Ludlow St.
Speaker 1: Park seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: My friend Rick Robinson worked in the office of Jim
Speaker 2: Bunning when he was Senator in Kentucky. You may remember
Speaker 2: the name dan Quayle. He was a vice president under
Speaker 2: George W.
Speaker 1: Bush. Is that right? That is correct?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush?
Speaker 2: Excuse me Bush one forty one forty one all right.
Speaker 2: So Rick Robinson knew all these people, and he has
Speaker 2: a story about how he almost killed the former vice
Speaker 2: president Quail in devou Park. What's the story? Absolutely, absolutely true.
Speaker 2: So we had dan Quayle in for a fundraiser. He
Speaker 2: had just came out with his book, Everybody's going to
Speaker 2: the fundraiser, got a book sided it was after he
Speaker 2: had left the vice presidency. Clinton is president. Now we're
Speaker 2: going out doing all these things. And as we finished,
Speaker 2: dan Quayle loved when he traveled. First off, he didn't
Speaker 2: have any security detail. He had turned down all the
Speaker 2: Secret Service, So really yeah, he did not travel with
Speaker 2: security detail.
Speaker 1: But when he went to.
Speaker 2: A town, he loved to stop in and get and
Speaker 2: have a fish sandwich and local beer. Okay, well he
Speaker 2: had heard about Oldenburg beer. So we get a table
Speaker 2: set aside at the Greyhound Grill over in Fort Mitchell
Speaker 2: to bring Quail over. So we're leaving this fundraiser and
Speaker 2: it's it's one of those houses that's back on the
Speaker 2: other side of the Dree Center. I mean, you got
Speaker 2: to really know where you're going to get to this place,
Speaker 2: and it's in that section where it's it can be
Speaker 2: pretty confusing if you're not from there. And we're driving out,
Speaker 2: Quail sitting in the passenger seat next to me. We
Speaker 2: got this big van I'm driving. Jim and Mary are
Speaker 2: in the back seat, his staff are another one of
Speaker 2: our staffers, Debbie mckinnie's in the in the very back.
Speaker 2: We're driving and they're in the back all talking right right,
Speaker 2: and I'm talking with the vice president as we're coming
Speaker 2: out of this thing, and we're just making idol chet chat,
Speaker 2: and in front of us is a big panel truck.
Speaker 2: Now I'm sure to this day that it was probably
Speaker 2: movers who were moving furniture and trying to find a
Speaker 2: house that they couldn't find in that section at de
Speaker 2: Voo Park. But as we get to a stop sign
Speaker 2: right by the golf course, right where the band show is,
Speaker 2: the car stopped. The truck in front of us stops
Speaker 2: and blocks the road. Two guys get out of the
Speaker 2: car and come, I don't want to say running, but
Speaker 2: quickly walking back towards our car again everybody in the
Speaker 2: back is talking. Quail looks over at me and you
Speaker 2: can see the look on his face like this ain't good.
Speaker 2: And he looks at me and goes, get us the
Speaker 2: hell out of here. He hit the gas. I go
Speaker 2: on to the grass, up around the stone benches that
Speaker 2: line the golf course, spinning the tires in the mud.
Speaker 2: We're going around everything. These guys are yelling at us
Speaker 2: as we're doing it. Jim starts yelling at me, and
Speaker 2: Quail looks around and goes, shut up.
Speaker 1: Jimmy's driving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bunny's like, what the heck are you doing? Whatever
Speaker 2: he said, he probably didn't say hey, he didn't say hecked.
Speaker 2: Then Jim didn't say hack a lot. So he's he's
Speaker 2: delivering these expletives, wondering why why are you driving? Why
Speaker 2: am I driving on the golf course risking turning the
Speaker 2: thing over with How we how we didn't turn over
Speaker 2: that van. I'll have no idea to this day, Garret,
Speaker 2: jeffl shut up. Jimmy's driving.
Speaker 3: We just.
Speaker 2: We got to the Greyhouse, girl, and it was at
Speaker 2: Quail and I were just dying because we were staying.
Speaker 2: You know, those guys were probably just looking for it
Speaker 2: at grafts where Quail thought they were paid assassins or something.
Speaker 2: They were foreign agent's coming out of the panel truck
Speaker 2: to to off him. That's that's a great story. How
Speaker 2: how long were you in Washington? So when I first
Speaker 2: went up, I worked for Bunning for six years. When
Speaker 2: I came back, I was involved in all of his campaigns.
Speaker 2: He was financed chair or something along the way. And
Speaker 2: then I went back up and went to work for
Speaker 2: the Manufactured Housingess to be the general counsel. So there
Speaker 2: were two different times in between. I spent twenty five
Speaker 2: years here practicing law out in northern Kentucky, but somewhere
Speaker 2: along the way was involved in almost every campaign that
Speaker 2: was involved during that time frame in northern Kentucky. And
Speaker 2: it was a lot of fun because when you were
Speaker 2: traveling with Bunning and you were doing things with Bunning,
Speaker 2: you never really knew who was going to show up,
Speaker 2: where you were going to stop along the way. I mean,
Speaker 2: we didn't travel down the double A Highway without stopping
Speaker 2: at Woody Frayman's house to back of Farmer to most
Speaker 2: people in Fleming County, but also known as a World
Speaker 2: Series winning pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. Okay, you know,
Speaker 2: every place we would go, we'd stop and see these
Speaker 2: these folks.
Speaker 1: That Jim would know.
Speaker 2: And I was telling somebody the other day. I remember
Speaker 2: Jim comes in and tosses a piece of paper at
Speaker 2: me and goes, hey, give give Lefty a call and
Speaker 2: tell him about this bill.
Speaker 1: Okay, pick up the phone. I dial the number.
Speaker 2: I'm waiting to say hello Lefty, and I put the
Speaker 2: phone rings and I hear, hey, Steve Carlton, can I
Speaker 2: help you? You know, And at that point you're talking
Speaker 2: to a Hall of Famer, you really don't want to say, hey, Lefty,
Speaker 2: how you did you were working for a Hall of Famer? Yeah,
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden you're talking to it. I
Speaker 2: guess it's a it's a small club basically, you know,
Speaker 2: Aaron would drop by all the hank Aaron would drop by, God,
Speaker 2: Tommy Lasorda, we couldn't get him to leave when he
Speaker 2: would drop by.
Speaker 1: That's fun though.
Speaker 2: He had boog Pow used to used to uh cater
Speaker 2: all of our events up in DC.
Speaker 1: Boot poal barbecue, no kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so these you know, these folks would
Speaker 2: just and it was it was great cause you get
Speaker 2: you get to see him in a in a setting
Speaker 2: where you can sit down and go, hey, boog, who
Speaker 2: was who is the hardest hitter that you ever saw? Well,
Speaker 2: no doubt, Frank Howard, right, I'm like harder than you.
Speaker 2: And he goes, oh, yeah, I couldn't even I couldn't
Speaker 2: even come close, you know, so you could hammer a
Speaker 2: baseball's He told a story how how Hondo hit a
Speaker 2: ball up the third baseline and he looks at me,
Speaker 2: and he goes, who had the best hands ever at
Speaker 2: third base? And I said, no doubt, Brooksy. He goes, yeah.
Speaker 2: He goes, well, Brooksy's standing on third base, he said,
Speaker 2: and Hondo hits this ball and it clips. It gets
Speaker 2: down third baseline so quick it clips the metal tip
Speaker 2: on top of brooks Robinson's hat. Even he couldn't get
Speaker 2: his hands up that quick. Wow, he said. He's sitting
Speaker 2: there in between innings, and Howard jogs over to the
Speaker 2: bench and looks up and goes, okay, man, he said,
Speaker 2: And Brooks looks up and goes, I almost died, no
Speaker 2: doubt so real quick. Just because you dealt with the swamp.
Speaker 2: You went fishing in the swamp, and you said and
Speaker 2: waiters to protect yourself and you saw normal Washington.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Is part of the reason there's such a snapback, especially
Speaker 2: among Democrats, to Donald Trump, is because he's suggesting that
Speaker 2: normal Washington is dead. Is there's there's a real want
Speaker 2: to keep that alive for the establishment of politicians, isn't there?
Speaker 2: Remember what you just said, establishment politicians. We're not talking
Speaker 2: that the Democrats are pissed. The Republicans may be acting
Speaker 2: like they like it. They're all sitting around with the
Speaker 2: same thing. They're the their establishment in that too. They're
Speaker 2: the people that sometimes get a line item in a
Speaker 2: bill for for Hamster Fight Club. So you know, if
Speaker 2: people that are looking out on you know, down the
Speaker 2: road here, they may be voting because they're they're afraid
Speaker 2: to be in primary by somebody.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of grumbling going on on the R
Speaker 2: side as much as there is on the D side.
Speaker 2: And you hit it on the head. It's the establishment
Speaker 2: politicians and it's and it's the gravy train runs to
Speaker 2: both parties. There's oh yeah, both parties are on board
Speaker 2: the gravy train in Washington, d C. With our money.
Speaker 2: Rick Robinson can you stick around the rest of the show.
Speaker 2: We got plenty more Corey Bowman, who was running for
Speaker 2: mayor of Cincinnati. If he gets enough signatures in the
Speaker 2: next six days, we'll talk to him after the news,
Speaker 2: which is now on seven hundred Wlwan into another hour
Speaker 2: of the Scott Sloan Show on this Friday, Valentine's Day,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Gary Japan for Sloaney, persevering here what
Speaker 2: has been turned out to be a very tough morning.
Speaker 2: I may elaborate later, I may not burden you with it,
Speaker 2: but right now, Rick Robinson still in the studio. Good
Speaker 2: to have you as a as a Robin or a
Speaker 2: Tonto whatever. I am always glad to be your sidekick.
Speaker 1: It's great to have you. Cato.
Speaker 2: Up next, we have a man who is right now
Speaker 2: trying to become a candidate for mayor in Cincinnati. He
Speaker 2: owns a coffee shop, he is a pastor, he is
Speaker 2: a father, has a fourth one on the way, and
Speaker 2: he is our guest, Corey Bowman.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Corey.
Speaker 8: Good morning.
Speaker 1: How y'all doing doing fine? Brother, doing fine?
Speaker 2: Have we got any signatures on the petitions to get
Speaker 2: your name on the ballot for Cincinnati mayor.
Speaker 8: Yet, yes we do. We're making progress every day. I'm
Speaker 8: actually kind of blown away by how willing people are
Speaker 8: to help and to get out on the streets and
Speaker 8: to help with circulate.
Speaker 3: So I'm very encouraged.
Speaker 2: Corey came back to Cincinnati. He and his wife were
Speaker 2: in Florida, I believe, and they felt like it was
Speaker 2: time that God was calling them back. Corey is a
Speaker 2: business owner, has a coffee shop in the West End.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that. He is a pastor. He and
Speaker 2: his wife have a church, a non denominational church here
Speaker 2: in town, and he feels like God has called him
Speaker 2: to run for mayor of Cincinnati, UH, and being in
Speaker 2: the West End, he's had some time to uh make
Speaker 2: some make some good contacts and relationships there in the
Speaker 2: West End. Corey is also the half brother of our
Speaker 2: vice president JD.
Speaker 1: Vance. They share the same pop.
Speaker 2: So, Corey, UH, I imagine your life growing up may
Speaker 2: have been a little bit different than JD's, UH, but
Speaker 2: just the same your family. You were at the inauguration
Speaker 2: and UH in Washington for some of the celebrations. So
Speaker 2: tell me a little bit about uh about your life.
Speaker 8: Well, like you said, our primary residence right now is
Speaker 8: the West End Cincinnati, and we actually are in a
Speaker 8: college hill as well with me and my family, But
Speaker 8: we have been downtown for about four years now. I'm
Speaker 8: from the area, originally grew up on the Red Games
Speaker 8: Bengals Games. There was a time period, like you said,
Speaker 8: about nine years to where we're in Tampa. We were
Speaker 8: in Tampa, Florida, and the time came where we just
Speaker 8: felt it was time to start a church, it was
Speaker 8: time to raise our family and the greatest city on earth,
Speaker 8: which I considered to be Cincinnati. And then you know,
Speaker 8: as time went on, we.
Speaker 3: Started the coffee shop.
Speaker 8: And then recently, like I said, we were at the inauguration.
Speaker 8: And when I was at that inauguration watching my brother
Speaker 8: be sworn in, it just did so much as far
Speaker 8: as bringing hope and just be inspired by the role
Speaker 8: model that he is to me. But then what happened
Speaker 8: was I flew back home and realized that the current
Speaker 8: mayor and the city council we're about to have an
Speaker 8: election this following year, and they were from what it
Speaker 8: looked like, we're going to run unopposed. And there has
Speaker 8: been things that we absolutely love about the downtown area
Speaker 8: but there are things that we see that we really
Speaker 8: feel need to be done better. And so whenever I
Speaker 8: saw that and I saw the need for it, I
Speaker 8: just told the leaders in our city that, you know what,
Speaker 8: I'll be the one that kind of puts my name
Speaker 8: forward and we are running for the mayor of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: But did seeing your brother at the inauguration become Vice
Speaker 2: President of the United States of America? Did that Was
Speaker 2: that the final shoe to drop that convinced you should
Speaker 2: run for mayor?
Speaker 1: Or what I.
Speaker 3: Think was.
Speaker 1: What was yeh?
Speaker 2: Was there one moment that you said, Okay, this is
Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to be doing.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, the Bible says without a vision, people perish,
Speaker 8: and a lot of people will have a career or
Speaker 8: have a life to where it's not centered around a vision.
Speaker 8: And so I call them MPC's nonplayable cares. They're like
Speaker 8: video game characters. They're just running around without a purpose.
Speaker 8: And God can give everybody a purpose and a plan,
Speaker 8: and that really can be a driving factor in your lives.
Speaker 8: That vision for us has always been to help the
Speaker 8: people of downtown Cincinnati. You can ask Amy my friends.
Speaker 8: Even as I was going to college at Miami. There
Speaker 8: was always something about making an impact in downtown Cincinnati
Speaker 8: that was always the driving force of my heart, and
Speaker 8: so whenever we started the church, you know, we started
Speaker 8: that with the intention of helping people. We've been able
Speaker 8: to distribute groceries and been able to pray with over
Speaker 8: sixty two hundred individuals in the downtown area in four years.
Speaker 8: And then I saw the need for business to be
Speaker 8: able to impact people through employment and economics, which was
Speaker 8: my background. And so then really it was whenever, not
Speaker 8: necessarily seeing my brother sworn in, but seeing the impact
Speaker 8: that he's able to make in this country even currently,
Speaker 8: seeing what is happening in our nation, and how there's
Speaker 8: so much of a sense of hope and a bright
Speaker 8: future ahead, and I realized that the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 8: needs to have a choice.
Speaker 3: In that matter.
Speaker 8: They need to have a way to be able to
Speaker 8: be on the forefront of the progress that we're going
Speaker 8: to see in our country, not be on the back burner,
Speaker 8: or you know, God forbid, have leadership that is fighting
Speaker 8: the progress that this country is going to see over
Speaker 8: the next four years.
Speaker 2: It's not as big as it is in some other
Speaker 2: cities Cory, but there's a sizeable homeless population in the
Speaker 2: city of Cincinnati. What do you think is what do
Speaker 2: you think needs to change as far as from the
Speaker 2: seat of government in dealing with the homeless, who are
Speaker 2: the most vulnerable citizens that we have on the street.
Speaker 8: I think it's very similar to many issues in the city.
Speaker 8: There is this thing that the current leadership in our
Speaker 8: city does, which is they sweep stuff under the rug.
Speaker 8: When we first started the church, we were right next
Speaker 8: door to a homeless shelter, and we were actually next
Speaker 8: door to two homeless shelters. One was legitimate, incredible shelter
Speaker 8: house one that does amazing things for the community, and
Speaker 8: the other was ran by a gentleman who was simply
Speaker 8: trying to house homeless people during the winter. And what
Speaker 8: the city would do was grant certain basically exemptions on
Speaker 8: zoning or safety in the building to be able to
Speaker 8: house homeless for the winter. And I really believe it
Speaker 8: was just for the purpose of not having news articles
Speaker 8: come out the next year saying that this many homeless
Speaker 8: people were dying on the streets and so they were
Speaker 8: bypassing a lot of stuff just to have it as
Speaker 8: a quick solution. And I think that that's what ends
Speaker 8: up happening with our city is that we have such
Speaker 8: a great potential and people love it. It's very artsy, it
Speaker 8: has amazing culture, it has amazing food and sports. But
Speaker 8: there's certain key issues that have been either swept under
Speaker 8: the rug or there's been a band.
Speaker 3: Aid on them.
Speaker 8: So when it comes to the homeless situation, I think
Speaker 8: a big part of it is you got to change
Speaker 8: the culture of how we view it. You cannot just
Speaker 8: enable these tent cities and these things to happen in
Speaker 8: the city. You have to be tough on it. But
Speaker 8: then on the occident, you have to provide solutions for
Speaker 8: these individuals because at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 8: not just a group of homeless people. These are individuals,
Speaker 8: These are human beings. Each one of them have a story.
Speaker 8: I would go out and pray with every one of
Speaker 8: these homeless individuals that were outside of the shelter, and
Speaker 8: every one of them have a different story. They can't
Speaker 8: just be grouped together. So what you have to do
Speaker 8: is provide solutions for them to either get out their
Speaker 8: current situation, and you have to address that based on
Speaker 8: each case.
Speaker 2: I personally know a few homeless people and the sad
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is in their case is they
Speaker 2: don't necessarily want to get out of their situation.
Speaker 1: They're almost institutionalized in it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's why ends up. That's why I mean
Speaker 8: when I say case by case, There's this case of
Speaker 8: a mother in Chicago who was sleeping in her van
Speaker 8: with her four children, and it was heartbreaking. Two of
Speaker 8: her children passed away due to exposure to the cold.
Speaker 8: There are situations to where people are just down on
Speaker 8: their luck and they are in a situation to where
Speaker 8: they need help. But then there are also certain people
Speaker 8: that I was talking to one individual who was homeless.
Speaker 8: He had literally been in Wyoming the week before. They
Speaker 8: find ways to get around and then a lot of
Speaker 8: times groups like that will find cities that are more
Speaker 8: lenient on the homeless population rather than being tough on it.
Speaker 8: And so our goal would be to implement policies that
Speaker 8: help the people that have been in this situation unexpectedly,
Speaker 8: that are truly desiring help. But then being tough on
Speaker 8: the people, it does not matter what you do. They're
Speaker 8: just going to find the city that's easiest for them
Speaker 8: to live that life.
Speaker 2: They had a huge ugly news headline in the local
Speaker 2: news cycle this week with the neo Nazi march I
Speaker 2: guess overpass in Evanston, and it ended without any incident,
Speaker 2: any violence, So that's good. As mayor, how would you
Speaker 2: address the situation like that.
Speaker 9: Corey, I think you got to address at the root
Speaker 9: of it is that this simply was a situation that
Speaker 9: was meant for one thing, to cause the vision in
Speaker 9: our city.
Speaker 8: Cincinnati has the greatest people on the face of the earth,
Speaker 8: and I truly believe that these people that were on
Speaker 8: that bridge have nothing to do with Cincinnati. I really
Speaker 8: believe that in situations like this, there are people, opportunists,
Speaker 8: whatever you want to call them, that are simply trying
Speaker 8: to cause the vision and cause the situations like this
Speaker 8: to be able to deer the people of the city
Speaker 8: however they want to go. Now, I completely disagree with
Speaker 8: the viewpoints of what they stood for with the swap
Speaker 8: because and everything. Obviously, like I tell people my church,
Speaker 8: racists are going to hell. I'm sorry, but like, if
Speaker 8: you don't love everybody equally, racists are going to hell.
Speaker 8: And you can quote me on that, but it doesn't
Speaker 8: change the fact that we don't need to play and
Speaker 8: buy into being played by certain people that their only
Speaker 8: goal in this wasn't to express their viewpoints of racism,
Speaker 8: their view and their goal was to cause division.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: What about city services?
Speaker 2: I mean that is a major thing as far as
Speaker 2: after public safety and keeping the citizens safe, the next
Speaker 2: job is infrastructure, the roads, sewer lines, the water.
Speaker 1: How do you feel like how.
Speaker 2: Does how does Corey Bowman feel like he could do
Speaker 2: a better job at providing the these basic city services
Speaker 2: that taxpayers expect.
Speaker 8: Well, like you said, it's taxpayers that are expecting, it's
Speaker 8: residents that are expecting these services from their city leaders exactly.
Speaker 8: And what's happening right now is many people after this
Speaker 8: winter especially, are very frustrated with how it's being conducted
Speaker 8: because for years they've been promised things based on whether
Speaker 8: it be the sale of the railroad, whether it be
Speaker 8: budgets and funding from the federal government. But they've been
Speaker 8: promised over and over and over that their roads would
Speaker 8: be fixed, that their city services would services would be improved.
Speaker 8: But yet this winter showed that is not happening, and
Speaker 8: so people are very frustrated with it. And as mayor,
Speaker 8: when I look at these issues, and I would probably
Speaker 8: reference multiple hot issues that are on the minds of
Speaker 8: individuals right now. The majority of them can be rooted
Speaker 8: back to one key issue, and that is money management.
Speaker 8: When you look at a budget of a proposed budget
Speaker 8: of one point nine billion dollars that is coming in
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty five, we should be able to properly
Speaker 8: manage our money, prioritize what needs to be prioritized, and
Speaker 8: these city services should be able to get the adequate
Speaker 8: funding and support from that budget.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: You're thirty six years old, right, yes, sir.
Speaker 2: Thirty six years old. You have the coffee shop. What's
Speaker 2: the name of your coffee shop, Corey Talk.
Speaker 8: Shop is called King's Arms Coffee and it's in the
Speaker 8: West End, right off of BAYE.
Speaker 3: Miller Street, all right.
Speaker 1: And your church where is that located.
Speaker 8: It's the River Church, Cincinnati right now. We're located at
Speaker 8: five oh three Clark Street, which is right across from
Speaker 8: the stargl CPS football stadium for the Cincinni Public School.
Speaker 1: Okay, very very good.
Speaker 2: And you still need to have five hundred valid signatures
Speaker 2: on this petition to get on the ballot by next Thursday, correct, Yes, sir.
Speaker 8: Our goal is to submit a thousand signatures and I
Speaker 8: want it to be done as early as you know,
Speaker 8: Tuesday of next week.
Speaker 2: Fantastic. I'm glad that you're getting some support and some traction.
Speaker 2: I would say that you are fighting definitely an uphill
Speaker 2: battle in the city of Cincinnati, just because the voters
Speaker 2: here for some reason, all they see at the at
Speaker 2: the voting booth is R and D and you will
Speaker 2: be under the R banner, so you know, God bless
Speaker 2: you and good luck, and I'll be primicary Jeff. The
Speaker 2: R will stand for reverend, so very good.
Speaker 8: I will say this if I can. Even though we're
Speaker 8: getting support, our number one priority we have to be
Speaker 8: able to get these signatures. And so if anybody wants
Speaker 8: to get involved in this, you can sign our petition
Speaker 8: at our Kingsarm's coffee shop located in the West End. Also,
Speaker 8: if you follow all my social media or go to
Speaker 8: Coreybowman dot com, you can see updates and get information
Speaker 8: about how you can get involved because this specifically this
Speaker 8: Saturday and Sunday, we need people on the streets circulating
Speaker 8: to be able to get these signatures in all.
Speaker 2: Right, finally, final question, Corey, what are your thoughts on
Speaker 2: a new arena or coliseum for Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: This is one of the big issues.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Like I said, with many of the other issues, it
Speaker 8: comes back to money management. I don't necessarily think that
Speaker 8: a lot of the decisions are being made by the
Speaker 8: government officials right now are being made with a good
Speaker 8: foundation of what their budget is or what money needs
Speaker 8: to come in or go out. And so I mean
Speaker 8: as a Cincinnati and we love you know, we love sports,
Speaker 8: we love arenas, we love concerts coming in. I support
Speaker 8: the economy to be boosted in our city. But for
Speaker 8: me personally, as far as what I'm looking at right now,
Speaker 8: the key issue is money management and figuring out where
Speaker 8: we are from the budget. That way, the CINCINNTI residents
Speaker 8: don't suffer for the next four years ahead, and then
Speaker 8: decisions about the arena and decisions about other things can
Speaker 8: be made once that foundation is set. That's truly what
Speaker 8: I believe.
Speaker 2: King's Arms Coffeehouse in the West End. Corey Bowman the candidate,
Speaker 2: good luck.
Speaker 8: Brother, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2: You bet you Rick Robinson in studio, any thoughts on
Speaker 2: Corey's chances as a Republican in Cincinnati. You know, one
Speaker 2: of the interesting things. When you look back at any
Speaker 2: local race, when you get down to mayor city council
Speaker 2: and everything else, it is the ultimate retail campaign. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's you know, we called fingers and toes, the fingers
Speaker 2: and Toes campaign. You're walking to every door, You're knocking
Speaker 2: on the door, You're you're introducing yourself. You're handing them
Speaker 2: a piece of literature that has your name on a
Speaker 2: five thousand times so they'll try and maybe possibly somewhere
Speaker 2: along the way remember your name name.
Speaker 1: I d retail, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean when people would come to me and still
Speaker 2: do when they talk about running in this campaign, in
Speaker 2: that campaign, it's like, well, how much effort you're willing
Speaker 2: to put into You're really to go out knock on doors,
Speaker 2: You're willing to go out and talk with people, You're
Speaker 2: willing to go out and raise that name ID. And
Speaker 2: I think I'm one of those those weird optimists to
Speaker 2: believe that any campaign is winnable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whether or not.
Speaker 2: The registration is for you, against you, everything else, you
Speaker 2: just got to go out knock on the doors, look
Speaker 2: them in the eye and say here's what I want
Speaker 2: to do. I think in this particular instance in this case.
Speaker 2: One thing you find about state and local re elections
Speaker 2: are they're oftentimes based upon how did the person in
Speaker 2: office respond to emergencies. Oh yeah, you know, run desantus
Speaker 2: in Florida. There may be people all over the country
Speaker 2: that hate the guy, but I'm telling you, in Florida,
Speaker 2: the way he's responded to the to the hurricanes down there.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's looked at as a savior.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks as a savior because he got the bridge,
Speaker 2: because he got the bridge up and going out to
Speaker 2: Santa Bell right quicker than anybody would have ever thought
Speaker 2: those little It's that type of thing that I think
Speaker 2: that's one things that Mayor Purvol is going to have
Speaker 2: to answer for in this is how to respond in
Speaker 2: various crises during the time that he was mayor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and and the fact that you know, everyone was unopposed.
Speaker 2: And Corey's gotten a late start on this. I mean
Speaker 2: he only got tough. He only started the petition drive
Speaker 2: like a week ago or whatever. And it's the deadline
Speaker 2: is the twentieth, which is next Thursday. We'll take a break.
Speaker 2: Stephen Williford from Gun Owners of America The Hero as
Speaker 2: we close out on this Friday, Gary jeff In Forslooni.
Speaker 1: On seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: November fifth, twenty seventeen, a man who had been court
Speaker 2: martialed from the Air Force because with domes violence conviction,
Speaker 2: went on a shooting rampage in Sutherland Springs, Texas at
Speaker 2: the first Baptist Church, killed twenty six people, injured twenty
Speaker 2: two others. He had a rifle and two pistols. He
Speaker 2: committed this heinous act. With this murderous act, and a
Speaker 2: man who was a neighbor nearby heard the shots. He
Speaker 2: got his AR fifteen and went out in his bare
Speaker 2: feet and tracked the attacker down as he drove off
Speaker 2: in the truck. He followed the attacker and eventually permanently
Speaker 2: disarmed the shooter. That man's name was Stephen Williford. Today's
Speaker 2: with the gun owners of America. They call him hero,
Speaker 2: especially in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and we call him our
Speaker 2: guest right now, Stephen Williford. Good afternoon and good morning,
Speaker 2: rather welcome to the Scott's Line Show on seven otter WLW.
Speaker 1: How are you good morning? I am doing that good?
Speaker 1: Are you still living in Texas State?
Speaker 10: Absolutely? I'll never be anywhere ended in Featherland Springs. I'm
Speaker 10: the fourth generation on the same little piece of property.
Speaker 3: I love my community.
Speaker 2: How about you let me ask you, just kind of
Speaker 2: off topic. Have you noticed any difference since Donald Trump
Speaker 2: has been in office in the number of encounters with
Speaker 2: illegal aliens?
Speaker 10: Well, in my day to day I have separated separated
Speaker 10: myself from the border because I used to go down
Speaker 10: there and film and see them bringing across illegal aliens
Speaker 10: by the hundreds of each night. I would go down
Speaker 10: there and film and you can find that on YouTube.
Speaker 3: At Barefoot Defender.
Speaker 10: But I used to do that, and I had to
Speaker 10: separate myself from that because I got so frustrated with
Speaker 10: what was going on and nobody was reporting it.
Speaker 1: Uh So.
Speaker 2: I so you don't know what the difference is now,
Speaker 2: but I would.
Speaker 10: I did know that Texas before Donald Trump had took charge,
Speaker 10: Texas had already stopped their border flow. Our governor had
Speaker 10: already up and started that, yes, And uh so, you
Speaker 10: know that was greatly cut down when he did that,
Speaker 10: and it was all kinds of court orders fighting what
Speaker 10: he did and stuff. And now that's been put on
Speaker 10: hold actually because the d o J has put that
Speaker 10: those lawsuits on hold because they're going to switch positions
Speaker 10: and they're going to support Greg Abbott and what's going
Speaker 10: on Texas border instead of fighting it.
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump has.
Speaker 10: Just absolutely gone in and started turning the tables over.
Speaker 1: I know that they're saying it.
Speaker 2: The borders in Texas, Arizona, everywhere there is a border
Speaker 2: with the US border is along that southern border that
Speaker 2: the entries are down to just a couple of hundred
Speaker 2: a day where they were tens of thousands at certain
Speaker 2: points during Biden's administration. And what was allowed to go
Speaker 2: the welcome matt into the US for all of the
Speaker 2: world's criminals and terrorists and anybody else that wanted to
Speaker 2: come in go ahead.
Speaker 11: Even as much as Donald Trump threatened a twenty five
Speaker 11: tariff against Mexico and the Mexican president said, whoa, whoa wait, wait,
Speaker 11: we'll put ten thousand troops on the border to make
Speaker 11: sure that pennnall and illegals don't come over the border.
Speaker 10: So now we have the now we have the Mexican
Speaker 10: side working on it.
Speaker 3: Also.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's nice to have a partner that's not
Speaker 2: the drug cartels or the human trafficking cartels. I want
Speaker 2: to get back to what occurred back in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: That kind of puts you on the map and put
Speaker 2: you on the radar of groups like Gun Owners of America,
Speaker 2: which now you were with. You used to finally, as
Speaker 2: I said, permanently disarm the perpetrator of this mass shooting.
Speaker 2: You had an AR fifteen, which is one of the
Speaker 2: guns that has been demonized by people who are not
Speaker 2: say not fans of a blanket Second Amendment in the
Speaker 2: United States Constitution, but it does say that that shall
Speaker 2: not be in friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: AR fifteen and it's called an assault weapon. It's just
Speaker 2: a rifle, right, tell me about the gun.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, that's a made up turn by the left to demonize.
Speaker 10: And if you look, they no longer, they don't use
Speaker 10: that as much as they used to. Now they're starting
Speaker 10: to say weapons of war, you know, because assault weapon
Speaker 10: lost its bite and so now they got to step up.
Speaker 10: We can't let these weapons of war on our streets. Well,
Speaker 10: the Second Amendment was actually brought up for actual weapons
Speaker 10: of war to guarantee that we the people can stand
Speaker 10: against a tyrannical government.
Speaker 3: And that's what the Second Amendment was about.
Speaker 10: And again the murderer in Sutherland Springs had on Class
Speaker 10: three a body armor and a ballistic bulletproof helmet. Had
Speaker 10: I had just a pistol, I probably would not have
Speaker 10: been successful in.
Speaker 3: Engaging him. He took shots at me. He hit the.
Speaker 10: Truck in front of me. I ran behind the truck.
Speaker 10: He hit the truck in front of me. He shattered
Speaker 10: the windshield of the car behind me, hit the house
Speaker 10: behind me, and I put six out of six rounds
Speaker 10: on him, most of them stopped by his body armor,
Speaker 10: but I was able to put one between his plates,
Speaker 10: and I put one high in his legs. I busted
Speaker 10: one across his forehead, just underneath the rim and the helmet,
Speaker 10: and as he fled the scene, I put one through
Speaker 10: the back windshield and threw his seat and it hit
Speaker 10: him right a shoulder blade, and he topped the hill
Speaker 10: and out of side. I flagged down a truck and
Speaker 10: we chased him eleven point six miles.
Speaker 1: Good lord, what I mean.
Speaker 3: In the end, he turned his pistol on himself.
Speaker 10: He tucked it up underneath the helmet and he shot
Speaker 10: himself in the head.
Speaker 3: And I'm okay with.
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, Yeah, as long as the the carnage was stop, Stephen,
Speaker 2: And it just occurred to me to ask you, what
Speaker 2: were you doing that Sunday morning? You're just you're hanging
Speaker 2: out at home, right.
Speaker 3: I was relaxing in my bed. I was going to
Speaker 3: start an on call.
Speaker 10: At the hospital where I worked as a maintenance plumber,
Speaker 10: and I was just relaxing.
Speaker 3: And that's why I didn't have sues on.
Speaker 10: And my daughter made me aware of shooting, and I realized.
Speaker 3: It was at the church.
Speaker 10: I grabbed an archi team that I had built myself
Speaker 10: for competition. I used to shoot on a church shooting team.
Speaker 10: We called ourselves a Sinners and one of our sinners
Speaker 10: was a former Army ranger and a Centennial Police officer,
Speaker 10: and he trained me what to do with ever confront
Speaker 10: it with body armor.
Speaker 3: And why would I have needed that?
Speaker 10: I think God had a plan for And again, the
Speaker 10: very rifle that I grabbed was the one that I
Speaker 10: used in competition.
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing, though, Stephen Williford, you were not
Speaker 2: setting out to shoot anybody that day, and had you
Speaker 2: not had access because this guny Kelly was going somewhere
Speaker 2: else after he left the church, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, please, please don't use it all right, all right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So totally forgotten the murderer.
Speaker 2: The murderer was planning on causing more carnage some other location.
Speaker 1: We're sure about that.
Speaker 3: Inside the church.
Speaker 10: Inside the church, he had just shot Julie Workman through
Speaker 10: the breast, skipped one off the concrete into her leg,
Speaker 10: and he shot Chris Workman through the pew into the back,
Speaker 10: paralyzing him from.
Speaker 3: The waist down.
Speaker 10: And he was about to execute Chris when I yelled out,
Speaker 10: and Chris said, his expression changed, and the moment I
Speaker 10: yelled out, he dropped his rifle in the church and
Speaker 10: came out shooting at me with a pistol. And as
Speaker 10: I ran across the street, he came out the doors.
Speaker 3: Shooting at me. So, yes, somebody asked me.
Speaker 10: He said, I guess we'll never know what would have
Speaker 10: happened if you would have tried to talk him out
Speaker 10: of the gun.
Speaker 3: Well, he came out of the church shooting at me.
Speaker 10: And if you don't think people inside the church tried
Speaker 10: to talk him out of the gun, you're wrong.
Speaker 3: The talking was over when he came out shooting at me.
Speaker 2: And the fact is a federal court in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: one ruled that the federal government was libel for this
Speaker 2: whole incident and had to pay out huge amounts of
Speaker 2: money to the people who died because the unnamed murderer
Speaker 2: was not supposed to was not supposed to be able
Speaker 2: to buy firearms, but the Air Force didn't convey that
Speaker 2: information the way there's supposed to the authorities who were
Speaker 2: in control.
Speaker 10: He had disassembled his infant son puppy in front of
Speaker 10: him to get him to quit crying and alive.
Speaker 2: He disassembled his son's puppy alive to get him to
Speaker 2: stop crying.
Speaker 3: And why would that stop him from crying, I don't know.
Speaker 3: And then when he didn't.
Speaker 10: Stop crying, he beat him till he fractured his stole
Speaker 10: and put him into an into a coma. They put
Speaker 10: him in prison for a year and a half and
Speaker 10: when leiced being to the Air Force, the Air Force
Speaker 10: was going to boot him out of the Air Force,
Speaker 10: and they brought him before board and he said.
Speaker 3: I'm going to go home.
Speaker 10: I'm going to get my gun, and I'm going to
Speaker 10: come back and kill every one of you, and so
Speaker 10: that's terroristic threat. They put him into a mental institution
Speaker 10: from there where it was low security. He escaped from
Speaker 10: the mental institution. Finally they gave him a less than
Speaker 10: honorable discharge, and they didn't enter any of it into
Speaker 10: the national instant background check system, which allowed him to
Speaker 10: just go right out and purchase all these guns and
Speaker 10: come to Southerland Springs.
Speaker 2: So the point in all of this is there is
Speaker 2: no law that could be passed by Congress that would
Speaker 2: have stopped him from doing.
Speaker 1: What he did.
Speaker 2: Well, they had already passed laws. Scared Jeff, I mean,
Speaker 2: that's that's that's the thing that already passed laws. The
Speaker 2: point didn't enforce it. Gun laws do not stop evil
Speaker 2: people from doing evil things with guns.
Speaker 1: They just don't.
Speaker 2: Steven Stephen, this is this is a This is Rick Robinson,
Speaker 2: Gary Jeff's slightly more stupid sidekick. But what's the difference
Speaker 2: between the Gun Owners of America and the NRA.
Speaker 1: I know you're with the gun owners, but.
Speaker 10: Well, I would rather talk directly about Gun Owners of America.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Okay, anybody else involved in the fight, we don't
Speaker 12: want to, you know, do anything, but Gun Owners of
Speaker 12: America is strictly fighting for your rights.
Speaker 3: We're the only one that doesn't believe in any kind of.
Speaker 10: Negotiations with our rights shall not be infringed. Means exactly
Speaker 10: that we don't compromise on that. And we're the ones
Speaker 10: that helped get the pistol brace band overturn. We rode
Speaker 10: amigas briefs that help get the bumpstock band overturn. We've
Speaker 10: gotten red flag laws in New York overturned.
Speaker 3: We helped get prop one for an Oregon overturned.
Speaker 10: We are just out there fighting every day, every way.
Speaker 10: And now we have got the attention of Donald Trump,
Speaker 10: and he said he would he would open up dialogue
Speaker 10: and talk to us before he does anything, and we
Speaker 10: really appreciate that.
Speaker 3: And he has shown that he is overturning.
Speaker 10: Joe Biden's executive orders and stuff, and we.
Speaker 3: Really appreciate that.
Speaker 10: Please go to gun owners dot org and sign up.
Speaker 10: We will never compromise when it comes to your rights
Speaker 10: to own and possess and carry a gun, no matter
Speaker 10: what gun it is, whether it's a pistol shotgun or
Speaker 10: an AR fifteen.
Speaker 2: All right, Steven Wiliford, thank you so much for your
Speaker 2: time today. Gun Owners of America is the organization and
Speaker 2: he is the hero of Sutherland Springs Texas. Great to
Speaker 2: have you, sir, God blessing me too. We'll talk to
Speaker 2: you soon.
Speaker 1: What's that.
Speaker 2: I've had a kind of a rough day, and it's
Speaker 2: a rough day you may be able to relate to
Speaker 2: if you've ever had a beloved house pet. It was
Speaker 2: on the air this morning for about fifteen minutes and
Speaker 2: I get a text from my wife.
Speaker 1: The text was.
Speaker 2: Real simple, I'm rushing Brooksy to the vet. If you've
Speaker 2: listened to me for a while, you know, Brooksy is
Speaker 2: our famous cat dog, the cat that walks on a leash,
Speaker 2: the cat that liked to go outside. We had to
Speaker 2: run for him, and a little leash on the front porch.
Speaker 2: He could go all the way to the sidewalk. And
Speaker 2: believe me, he was a terror. If any dog is
Speaker 2: walking by got into our yard, he Brooksy wouldn't bother
Speaker 2: the dog, no matter what size dog it was. And
Speaker 2: the bigger dogs feared Brooksy the most. If they stepped
Speaker 2: foot one foot one paw in his yard, he was
Speaker 2: going to be right there, claws out, ready to attack.
Speaker 2: And it happened to more than one of our neighbors dogs.
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, Well the threat is gone. I again
Speaker 2: heard from my wife, and then probably about forty five
Speaker 2: minutes ago, I'm sorry, baby Brooksy passed away in doctor
Speaker 2: Doane's office. What should I do with him? And jest
Speaker 2: of heart failure. Brooksy was eight years old, which is
Speaker 2: not old for a cat. He was bouncing around like
Speaker 2: he was he was brand new yesterday. And you know
Speaker 2: what it's like, it's losing a family member. And so
Speaker 2: the whole time I've been sitting here interviewing guests and
Speaker 2: talking to rick and whatever, I've been putting on some
Speaker 2: kind of a face and probably shouldn't be burdening you
Speaker 2: with this because I don't want to leave you on
Speaker 2: a Debbie Downer note. But for those of you who
Speaker 2: listen and have heard the stories of Brooks, you know
Speaker 2: I have had listeners send cat toys and catnip toys
Speaker 2: in the mail to Brooksy. I just want to say
Speaker 2: thank you for acknowledging my cat dog.
Speaker 1: And just been a tough morning.
Speaker 2: And anybody who's had a dear beloved pet who passes
Speaker 2: away knows about this. I mean, Ricky said, you've been
Speaker 2: through it. Yeah, we've been through it. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: it's that or it happens. Is that it's that losing
Speaker 2: a member of the you know, a four legged member
Speaker 2: of your family. I mean, it's it's it's been cut
Speaker 2: reaching here to sit here today and watch you plow
Speaker 2: your way through this day worth of work when remember
Speaker 2: the family's gone. I I well, and and the and
Speaker 2: the the worst part is I couldn't. My wife had
Speaker 2: to do this all on her own, and I couldn't
Speaker 2: be there, you know, because duty calls, and like I
Speaker 2: said earlier, the show must go on. So I do
Speaker 2: appreciate you sitting in here. It's been easier having a
Speaker 2: friend sit across from me and and kind of helped
Speaker 2: me out fill the the three hours. But now it's uh,
Speaker 2: it's back to life, you know. I think we have
Speaker 2: a ways. I think we need to have a wake.
Speaker 2: I think we need to have a wake for Brooks here.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, whether whether we do a special
Speaker 2: segment next week where we come in here and we
Speaker 2: just we just bring a bottle of scotch in that. Oh, well,
Speaker 2: they don't know what I have in my pocket front walk.
Speaker 2: I got a bottle of scotch over in my at
Speaker 2: it right now. But well, I think we need to
Speaker 2: have it. I think we need to have awake Brooks.
Speaker 2: He didn't drink, but he'd appreciate the sentiment. I'm sure
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss a little character anyway.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: I gotta get out of here, quite embarrassing myself. Quit
Speaker 2: bringing you down. Enjoy the rest of your day, and
Speaker 2: we'll see you somewhere down the road. Seven hundred WLW
