Speaker 1: night but had a personal emergency, and she's here to
Speaker 1: talk about education, not in doctrination as it relates to

Speaker 1: And they just are doing wonderful things. They've stopped over

Speaker 1: will join us in studio. Next. Let's go get us
Speaker 1: some nightcap, shall we.
Speaker 2: If Many Ricardo had listened to those who called him
Speaker 2: a dreamer, he wouldn't have knocked on every agency's door.
Speaker 2: If he paid attention to those who said he was
Speaker 2: wasting his time, he wouldn't have spent countless hours perfecting
Speaker 2: his look. But because he never gave up, he got
Speaker 2: his big model in break as the before picture in
Speaker 2: a rectile dysfunction adds. That's the fighting spirit, the same
Speaker 2: fighting spirit. Mike McConnell brings to your morning the latest news, traffic,

Speaker 1: Several fall in the Bouncing Ball D D T E G.
Speaker 1: Missus Robinson. It was number one this week in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty eight. And for our first hour on this night cap,
Speaker 1: we have a guy who's all about nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 1: He wrote the book on nineteen sixty eight. Well at
Speaker 1: least one book on sixty eight and how it correlates
Speaker 1: and how it resonates with baby boomers. And it's great
Speaker 1: to have my friend Rick Robinson back in the studio.
Speaker 1: How are you doing, mister nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3: And here's to you, missus Robinson. I have to say
Speaker 3: that for my wife today because today is today. It
Speaker 3: was number one on the charts of sixty eight. But
Speaker 3: you don't think, you don't think, well, you're here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: my life is trying to no no, no no. I yeah,
Speaker 3: let me let me think about that before I actually
Speaker 3: go through and sing Robinson for my wife. Let me
Speaker 3: let me let me think about that. Maybe I don't
Speaker 3: want to know the words to that song.
Speaker 1: So we got Reds Opening Day on Thursday, and excitement,
Speaker 1: national holiday, excitement abounds, eternally optimistic, trust until until that
Speaker 1: first loss, and then the whole season is completely caput.
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing how people treat opening Day, especially in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: There is absolutely nowhere else in Major League Baseball that
Speaker 1: this The parade and everything is such a huge event
Speaker 1: for the whole city.
Speaker 3: I have friends of mine all over the country and
Speaker 3: actually for years. I used to do a drivetime baseball
Speaker 3: broadcast in for fifteen minutes in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Now,
Speaker 3: if you've got if you got somebody who's a drive
Speaker 3: time in Baton Lusory, Louisiana doing sports, what do you
Speaker 3: think they talk about? Twenty four to seven three sixty
Speaker 3: five football. So I get a call one day from
Speaker 3: this guy I'd known for ever. I'm tied talking number
Speaker 3: of football. We're gonna stop a little baseball show here
Speaker 3: and you and me go and talk to bakeball once
Speaker 3: a week.
Speaker 1: You sound like James Carve was this speech? Impedial that?
Speaker 3: And I, saund and I sound like everybody on the
Speaker 3: radio in Matain, Bruslan during that time, and for and
Speaker 3: for twenty five years, gosh we did. We did a
Speaker 3: broadcast on the local drive time sports network down there
Speaker 3: once a week. Yeah, we even did did uh hot
Speaker 3: stove reports, the whole bit. But every year he would
Speaker 3: want me to break into his broadcast and give a
Speaker 3: live report of everything happening in Cincinnati on opening day
Speaker 3: because it was such it is such a unique experience,
Speaker 3: It is such a you know, where else would you
Speaker 3: have that? When you know the night before your dad
Speaker 3: comes in and goes, you know, why don't we skip
Speaker 3: school tomorrow?
Speaker 1: I got two tickets.
Speaker 4: M h.
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness that you think about. You know, in
Speaker 3: any other town they would call juvenile services on you,
Speaker 3: and in this town, if you don't try and get tickets,
Speaker 3: still call juvenile services on you.
Speaker 1: That's exactly the beauty of opening today. As a kid,
Speaker 1: as a little kid, when I first got exposed to baseball.
Speaker 1: In fact, my first major league experience was a field trip.
Speaker 1: Our third grade class took from Naperville, Illinois to downtown
Speaker 1: Chicago to see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field. They'd
Speaker 1: take us to the museums in the morning and then
Speaker 1: a Cubs game because we're all day games still at
Speaker 1: this point in the late sixties, and it was the
Speaker 1: most magical thing in the world. But I never remember
Speaker 1: Opening Day being a bigger day than any other time
Speaker 1: during the season as a Cubs fan. Lived in Saint
Speaker 1: Louis for a couple of years after that. Sorry to
Speaker 1: hear that, a little bit old lived in Collinsville, Illinois,
Speaker 1: and you know, a trip to Bush Stadium was still
Speaker 1: pretty special. Saint Louis is a great baseball town. There's
Speaker 1: no question of it that their fans travel always, as
Speaker 1: we find out when the Cardinals are in town here
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, their fans travel very well for a six
Speaker 1: to seven hour trip. But there's no hoopla and hype
Speaker 1: around Opening Day in Saint Louis like there is in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: It is so unique to this town, and I wonder
Speaker 1: why is it just the parade? Is it something else?
Speaker 1: What makes that so magic in this market that you
Speaker 1: don't see it in any and really big baseball towns
Speaker 1: like Chicago and Saint Louis. I think it.
Speaker 3: Probably relates back to a lot of the German Irish heritage,
Speaker 3: the interest in the things that were happening at the
Speaker 3: time when baseball was coming up, the type of players
Speaker 3: that were coming through, working class type of people following
Speaker 3: a working class type of game. When you look back
Speaker 3: at the when you look back at the history of Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: I've been I've been lucky enough, Gary, Jeff, I've seen
Speaker 3: Opening Day at Crosley Riverfront and now great American best
Speaker 3: one ever though had nothing to do with the Reds.
Speaker 3: Opening Day had to do with after the Hurricanes came
Speaker 3: through going down the day of the game, the year
Speaker 3: Hank Aaron tied bay Ruth record going down. My dad's
Speaker 3: my dad like here, here's twenty bucks, go down and
Speaker 3: see who you scalp a ticket.
Speaker 1: It was Marty Brenneman's first game as a Reds broadcast.
Speaker 1: It was I believe it was. Yeah, and he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, I go in and think of this today.
Speaker 1: I mean I bought a first base side lower level
Speaker 1: C for I think ten bucks on opening day, which
Speaker 1: which at that time was a heck of a lot
Speaker 1: of money. I was trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: tell my dad that I spent that much for a ticket,
Speaker 1: you know, half of money, you know, I was. I
Speaker 1: was able to still buy the hot dog afterwards, but
Speaker 1: to ten dollars wouldn't get you a whiff of a
Speaker 1: hot dog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ten bucks wouldn't get you get you through the
Speaker 3: coke line.
Speaker 1: But you're talking about you're talking about the carbonated beverage.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that would be after the game when when
Speaker 3: you when you when you all right about about coke line,
Speaker 3: about let loose a couple of players names that I
Speaker 3: could probably have gotten sued for, so I won't.
Speaker 1: Bring that up.
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, and I was down front row of
Speaker 3: the green seats, you know, the second level right as
Speaker 3: Hank Aaron hit that ball out of the park and
Speaker 3: I was there for for Hank Aaron's tying.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, amazing stuff. Uh are you going this year?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Uh So I have this uh, this buddy of mine
Speaker 3: that we've been going to baseball games forever now, Jeff
Speaker 3: Landing over in northern Kentucky. And we consider baseball the
Speaker 3: equivalent of monks sitting around and watching a Bonzai tree grow.
Speaker 1: It's a religious experience. You know.
Speaker 3: Everybody else like, oh baseball is boring, Baseball says, oh
Speaker 3: it was a picture's dull, nobody got here. We consider
Speaker 3: all that part of the zen of sitting down as
Speaker 3: a Buddhist monk would do watching a Bonzi tree grow.
Speaker 3: That is baseball to us, that is that is what
Speaker 3: it is. We will be We will be at many
Speaker 3: games this year just sitting watching the field. You know,
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that's funny, Gary, Jeff, because
Speaker 3: I'll come home. That's your next book, Buddhists on Baseball,
Speaker 3: Buddhists on Baseball. We have done so many of these
Speaker 3: things and I'll come home, my wife will go How
Speaker 3: was the game, Oh, it's a great game. What did
Speaker 3: you what did you and Jeff talk about?
Speaker 1: Nothing? What was he mad? No? What did you guys
Speaker 1: talk about?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: I think the third ending. He told me, look at
Speaker 3: the delivery. Watch this guy on his right arm, how
Speaker 3: he delivers. And I think the next inning, and I went, yep,
Speaker 3: and I'm totally fine with that. But but my wife
Speaker 3: can't understand it. That how we haven't talked about everything
Speaker 3: under the sun while we're sitting there.
Speaker 1: You worked for a United States senator and also a
Speaker 1: Baseball Hall of Famer. Yeah, how did how did Jim
Speaker 1: Bunning regard baseball? Like after his career was over? Did
Speaker 1: he did? He look at it and that was just
Speaker 1: a chapter of my life? Was it still very important
Speaker 1: to him? How did Jim Bunning, the late Jim Bunning
Speaker 1: think of baseball?
Speaker 3: Well, first off, when he went to Congress, he decided
Speaker 3: that he was not going to be the quote unquote
Speaker 3: baseball congressman. Right, he was going to go up be serious.
Speaker 3: He had a degree in economics, very smart guy. He
Speaker 3: was going to be known for all of that. And
Speaker 3: the first day of swearing in, Jim Wright was was.
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Remember, so here we are, you know, a freshman in
Speaker 3: the minority party. All of our supporters from northern Kentucky
Speaker 3: are up celebrating Jim getting sworn in. And about fifteen
Speaker 3: minutes after the swearing in ceremonies, we're in the office.
Speaker 3: Everybody's in there, everything else. There's door opens up and
Speaker 3: in walks the Speaker of the House to a minority
Speaker 3: freshman in the House of Representatives with his grandson in
Speaker 3: tow with a baseball in his hand, and he said,
Speaker 3: he walks in and he goes, got that you got
Speaker 3: that Texas out sat and said, Jim, my grandson wants
Speaker 3: a wants to meet a real congressman, you know, one
Speaker 3: that played in the major leagues. And in walks Jim Wright.
Speaker 3: And afterwards, I can't think. I think Jim kind of
Speaker 3: looked around and went, you know, maybe we can adjust
Speaker 3: this baseball thing. Maybe maybe there's a way to make
Speaker 3: this happen, use it to his advantage. Absolutely, but he
Speaker 3: loved baseball even afterwards. Going to a baseball game with
Speaker 3: a major league pitcher, right is a treat because you'll
Speaker 3: sit there and as the pitcher is winding up, he'll
Speaker 3: look at the score, but look at it and goes
Speaker 3: curveball outside, looks at the board, looks over it, look
Speaker 3: change up down the middle. Shoot, how did you know that?
Speaker 3: This guy doesn't you know? It's just it's just the
Speaker 3: the going and watching it and watching him. It's keep
Speaker 3: the game. You've got your own color commentation with you
Speaker 3: in the stands. No that, but he's you know, eighty
Speaker 3: percent of the time on the pitch calls.
Speaker 4: He was right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was absolutely right. If you've been there, you've
Speaker 1: done that, you you kind of know what's coming next,
Speaker 1: if the picture is going to be successful, if the
Speaker 1: picture's not going to be successful, and only a pitcher
Speaker 1: could spot that.
Speaker 3: Jim was his big thing when he would watch pictures.
Speaker 3: One thing he taught me to do was not so
Speaker 3: much watch the picture's arms, but watch the picture's legs.
Speaker 3: Really if they're using their arm too much. He was
Speaker 3: always of the opinion they weren't going to last long
Speaker 3: if they dug down and use their legs to really
Speaker 3: force that delivery. He thought those were the guys that
Speaker 3: were going to last longer in the game.
Speaker 1: Would be good picture. Well, I've heard people talk about
Speaker 1: this during games. Rick where the announcer, maybe a former
Speaker 1: major league player who's doing color, says, watch the pushuff
Speaker 1: on the leg. There's something wrong because of the way
Speaker 1: he's landing with his legs. You're right, it's a full
Speaker 1: body experience. But and though you're just pitching with your arm,
Speaker 1: you're going to be done by the third or fourth inning.
Speaker 1: And if you watch old old videos of Bunning, his
Speaker 1: glove would actually be on the mound when he would
Speaker 1: be on the follow through right now. The other fun
Speaker 1: thing though about being in Bunning's office and being from
Speaker 1: from Baseball's the guys that would stop by. It would
Speaker 1: be carry Jip.
Speaker 3: Who's who oh would be you know, a boot pal
Speaker 3: would always if we had a fundraiser in DC, Boogs
Speaker 3: Barbecue would come up and be the people that would
Speaker 3: would be the caterer, the slugger from them or Baltimore Oils.
Speaker 4: Right. Uh.
Speaker 3: Tommy Lasorda was a constant. My god, there were times
Speaker 3: we couldn't get rid of Tommy Lasorda. I can believe
Speaker 3: that in the office he would sit down and start
Speaker 3: holding court in the offices, like, hey, Tommy, Jim's at a
Speaker 3: committee meeting. He's not going to be back from that's
Speaker 3: all right, I'll just sit here for a while. Hey,
Speaker 3: how you doing? How you doing? People are walking up,
Speaker 3: people walking in to get their tickets to the White
Speaker 3: House and all the other stuff.
Speaker 1: Hey, how you doing? Drop some more names? Who else
Speaker 1: you got on your list? The gun?
Speaker 3: Well, the one that was what was really fun that
Speaker 3: I that I really enjoyed more than any of them
Speaker 3: probably was meeting Hank Aaron uh and being able to
Speaker 3: sit in while Jim and Aaron relived at bats from
Speaker 3: the old North Dakota League. You know, do you remember
Speaker 3: when we played that game as such and such?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, that ball, that ball they threw out there. Man,
Speaker 3: that was a horrible ball. You couldn't get that ball
Speaker 3: over the warning track. And Jim's like, I remember you
Speaker 3: hit one off me. That's still going Yeah I did?
Speaker 3: And what was what was funny? Gary Jeff is like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that was a three to one count. No, Jim account
Speaker 3: was full.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.
Speaker 3: They remember every pitch from every game that they played
Speaker 3: on this stuff.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: The funny part of it is after that conversation, Jim
Speaker 3: grabs a juice baseball Today's Baseball tosses it over to Aaron.
Speaker 3: Aaron catches it and he goes, hey, Hank, how many
Speaker 3: home runs would you have with this ball? You looked
Speaker 3: at it went hell, Jim, I'd still be playing. That's
Speaker 3: a great story.
Speaker 1: I wonder how many home runs Hank would have hit
Speaker 1: if they'd had performance enhancing drugs. He certainly didn't need them.
Speaker 3: You take a look at pictures of Hank Aaron and
Speaker 3: look at the cannons that were on his forearms. In particular,
Speaker 3: that man did not need anything to enhance anything.
Speaker 1: She was just a beast of a human. And you
Speaker 1: look at take a look at an old picture. Don't
Speaker 1: look at his bicycle, look at his forearms. You know,
Speaker 1: he looks like Popeye? Did Bunny ever talk about? Because
Speaker 1: there were major leaguers who were using drugs to enhance
Speaker 1: their performance mostly I guess back in the day, there
Speaker 1: were greenies or methamfitamines that were being used. Right.
Speaker 3: That was the whole big rumor during all that timeframe
Speaker 3: of various different clubs that had that had two different
Speaker 3: pots of coffee, Yeah, the regular coffee in the clubhouse
Speaker 3: and the one that was enhanced with greenies.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, Jim said that he never saw any of that
Speaker 3: and the rumors to other people that had who knows,
Speaker 3: but Jim said he never saw any of that when
Speaker 3: he was that he was playing enough. He played, and
Speaker 3: he played a season and a half with the with
Speaker 3: the Pirates during the time frame right before they got
Speaker 3: into the trouble that they got into.
Speaker 1: Now, wasn't nineteen sixty eight the Denny McClain year when
Speaker 1: he won all those games.
Speaker 3: Denny McClain was the big pitch of that year. Funny
Speaker 3: story is McLain and Bunning. The reason Jim Bunning went
Speaker 3: to the National League was because of Denny McLain. Really,
Speaker 3: Jim was playing for the for the Tigers, had a
Speaker 3: shot at twenty wins, had a shot at leading the
Speaker 3: league in strikeouts everything else. And the manager there bench
Speaker 3: team for the last four starts so.
Speaker 1: He could bring up Denny McClain. They had like thirty
Speaker 1: wins that year.
Speaker 3: After that, it was after that, but brought him up
Speaker 3: out of the miners, brought him out letting gave Jim
Speaker 3: a fourth stars and Jim said, if that's what you
Speaker 3: think about me, I want to be traded. But he
Speaker 3: and McLain came buddies. And in fact, when McLain got
Speaker 3: into all of his tax problems and went to prison
Speaker 3: and gambling and everything else. And when he came out
Speaker 3: and started his show on Detroit Television, his first guest.
Speaker 1: Was Jim Bunning. Jim Budding, that's wild. You've got enough
Speaker 1: Bunning stories. We could fill up the whole evening with that.
Speaker 1: But there's more going on as we lurched towards baseball
Speaker 1: season an opening day on Thursday, and in the political arena,
Speaker 1: there is a bunch to discuss, and we will in
Speaker 1: the next segment if you so indulge me with a
Speaker 1: little bit more time tonight, Rick, I would be glad
Speaker 1: to do that. I had a feeling you'd say, I
Speaker 1: would be glad to Okay more with Rick Robinson in

Speaker 1: eight Officionado and back in the studio for this second
Speaker 1: half hour of the Nightcap, Aretha was an amazing tourive
Speaker 1: force of a performance.
Speaker 3: She was a fourth of nature. I mean, think about
Speaker 3: that time frame. I think she Ray Charles, the Four Tops,
Speaker 3: the Temptations, kind of bringing the whole idea of R
Speaker 3: and B into the pop culture. And if you think
Speaker 3: about that at the time, it's really really remarkable.
Speaker 1: Well, if you go back, if you say, for example,
Speaker 1: you go back four years from nineteen sixty eight. Nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty four, Tom Jones had his first hit in the

Speaker 1: called white stations wouldn't play it because they thought he
Speaker 1: was black the way he sounded, by the way.

Speaker 1: Why Delilah? Why why why?
Speaker 4: Tito?
Speaker 1: No, would would not be doing that. But I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to to the rest of our conversation. Here. Let's
Speaker 1: turn to politics a little bit. We haven't talked a
Speaker 1: lot about what's been going on. There was a hearing
Speaker 1: earlier today. Oh I'm sorry you talking to me. I
Speaker 1: was just getting text from the Secretary of State about
Speaker 1: who were invading tomorrow give me a minute, and oh,
Speaker 1: sorry about that. Well, okay, we're going to do you
Speaker 1: say that this whole kerfuffle, if you want to call
Speaker 1: it that or flat is not as harmless as the
Speaker 1: Republicans are making it sound, and not as meaningless, and
Speaker 1: it's not as harmful as the Democrats are making it sound.
Speaker 1: It's not the end of the world, it's not at
Speaker 1: the end of security in America for our defense. And
Speaker 1: so you think that both parties are overplaying their hands
Speaker 1: so far on this particular story. I think there's a
Speaker 1: great risk of either side taking it too far. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the Trump side, the Republican side. They screwed up.
Speaker 1: They screwed up. They had an internal conversation on a
Speaker 1: separate server app where they.
Speaker 3: Discuss things they shouldn't have been discussing in front of
Speaker 3: a damn reporter and of all reporters. Yeah, the guy
Speaker 3: they picked not exactly friendly to the Trump administration ever.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been known to make things up before
Speaker 3: and as we're sitting here. But also remember this is
Speaker 3: also the group that you know, Trump was also the
Speaker 3: guy who went after Hillary Clinton for having you know,
Speaker 3: documents on separate servers all these other things.
Speaker 1: So there's a there's a there's a those are like
Speaker 1: this is like one text thread that was thirty some
Speaker 1: thousand emails in ten but but.
Speaker 3: Let's remember everything here is about constant, you know, context
Speaker 3: and perception. Sure, so as we take a look at that,
Speaker 3: for the Trump side to go, it's nothing. They have
Speaker 3: to give some accountability and own up to it.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I was really looking forward to
Speaker 1: my candidate, the one I voted for three times, not
Speaker 1: all in one election, Gary Johnson. No, Donald Trump, the
Speaker 1: one I voted for three times now for president. One
Speaker 1: of the things I look forward to with him winning
Speaker 1: in November would be the ability on the radio to
Speaker 1: hold him just as accountable as I would hold any
Speaker 1: other president. And so I'm not one of those at
Speaker 1: all apologists for everything that his administration does. He was
Speaker 1: not involved in this chain. It's John Radcliffe, and it's
Speaker 1: any number of high level security officials the NSA, and
Speaker 1: these people are all well, I believe they're all qualified
Speaker 1: to be in the positions they're in. It's all very new.
Speaker 1: They've been up and running. It look like it really does.
Speaker 1: It's been less than two months. Remember that, but it
Speaker 1: may you don't look you know, you don't. I would
Speaker 1: have expected jd Vance to at least look at who's
Speaker 1: on the list that it's going out to nobody took
Speaker 1: a look and went, hell is Jeff doing here? Right?
Speaker 1: That's the guy from the Atlanta that you're talking on
Speaker 1: the on the you know that guy? I do not.
Speaker 4: I not.
Speaker 1: I've never met him.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 3: On the other side, though, I think there's a great
Speaker 3: problem of it being overplayed by the Democrats. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: this is the fall of Western civilization as we know
Speaker 3: it today.
Speaker 1: No, it isn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it's a screw up. Somebody needs to be
Speaker 3: held accountable. They need to be to say what they're
Speaker 3: going to do next, how they're going to keep this
Speaker 3: from happening again.
Speaker 1: Should Trump fire? Somebody don't know? That's up.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know the depth of what was
Speaker 3: in all of the emails. I read the article in
Speaker 3: the Atlantic, h I didn't, you know. I don't that
Speaker 3: anybody's read all the emails except for the Atlantic. So
Speaker 3: both sides I think have a have a have a
Speaker 3: a problem of either underplaying or overplaying their hand. I
Speaker 3: think the interesting thing that is going to happen here,
Speaker 3: Garry Jeff is taking a look at the White House itself.
Speaker 3: Now you mentioned, as you mentioned, Trump was not in
Speaker 3: the chain. He was not part of that. But we
Speaker 3: all know that we have players that in this administration,
Speaker 3: with the president's approval, that like to play out a
Speaker 3: position like well, like making it look like a a
Speaker 3: a little league soccer game.
Speaker 1: Everywhere the ball goes.
Speaker 3: There are several people in the administration that follow it,
Speaker 3: whether or not that's their Are Miller Stephen Miller's playing
Speaker 3: in a lot of fields you have, You have people
Speaker 3: that are you know, you know, is he should he
Speaker 3: be on should he have been on that email issue?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 1: You know who knows? I see him so I see
Speaker 1: him solely as as an immigration guy pretty much, and
Speaker 1: that's has been his main his main.
Speaker 3: But he but he's also spoken out on some economic things. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's on this chain that's gone back and forth. Apparently
Speaker 3: there's an s M. Everybody's assuming it's him. So as
Speaker 3: you take a look at it, you know, as I
Speaker 3: we know, we know a couple of things about Donald
Speaker 3: Trump is that he lets people play out a position.
Speaker 3: But he also has favorites that kind of jump and
Speaker 3: follow back. And he doesn't like to be embarrassed in
Speaker 3: the press. Yeah, this is embarrassing in the press to him.
Speaker 1: Right, And I think that's something that the President is
Speaker 1: addressing privately, he doesn't need to do it on a
Speaker 1: national stage in front of media. He doesn't need to
Speaker 1: even know. It's hard for him not to do since
Speaker 1: he's holding a press conference nearly every single day since
Speaker 1: he took office. But he's going to be sitting back.
Speaker 3: Something's going to happen, and either that either somebody is
Speaker 3: going to be out of good graces, somebody is going
Speaker 3: to be demoted, but somebody is going to lose their
Speaker 3: access to The President has known to famously fire people,
Speaker 3: yes or eventually be fired. So we will see what
Speaker 3: plays out over the next couple of days. With all
Speaker 3: of this, again, Democrats are going to overplay their hand.
Speaker 3: Republicans are going to underplay their hand. Well, the Democrats
Speaker 3: they know she's going to be what happens in Trump's
Speaker 3: inner circle.
Speaker 1: The reason the Democrats are going to overplay their handed
Speaker 1: they don't have very many cards in their hand at all.
Speaker 1: They don't have any cards.
Speaker 3: The cards in their hands, and they've yet to come
Speaker 3: up with a unifying message that can go out and
Speaker 3: bring in new voters. The oligarch tour with AOC and Bernie,
Speaker 3: that's just more of the same.
Speaker 1: You know, they talked about how that was completely organic.
Speaker 1: Those what they claimed were thirty thousand people in Denver.
Speaker 1: Actually the numbers are more like twenty thousand and eighty
Speaker 1: four percent. Eighty four percent. They tracked this with GPS.
Speaker 1: Eighty four percent of the devices in the audience had
Speaker 1: been to nine other in different places around the country.
Speaker 1: This was well organized. It wasn't grassroots, It wasn't organic,
Speaker 1: as the Democrats have claimed that just oh, we decided
Speaker 1: we were going to Denver and thirty thousand people just
Speaker 1: showed up. No, they didn't. It was you know, it's
Speaker 1: a typical political rally that was well organized and well oiled.
Speaker 1: And for them to suggest that, you know, there's this
Speaker 1: this this ground swell of people who are dying to
Speaker 1: hear Bernie and AOC speak across the country is not true.
Speaker 3: You know, on the one of the things that you
Speaker 3: think about today's technology and everything else, the days of
Speaker 3: the you know, of the Kennedy rallies, where one of
Speaker 3: the most important things that the Kennedy team would do
Speaker 3: is that they expected if they expected a crowd of
Speaker 3: five hundred people, they made sure they got a room
Speaker 3: for forty five people. So it just looked like it
Speaker 3: was pouring out into the hallways. Yeah, so, you know,
Speaker 3: but can you imagine it with today's technology when somebody
Speaker 3: would have hacked somebody else's cell phone and figured out.
Speaker 1: That that was all.
Speaker 3: Oh, we expected two hundred people. We just got a
Speaker 3: room for forty five. We created the fire hazard. But
Speaker 3: you know, but yeah, that that there's not a message
Speaker 3: out there right now that is resonating with people. The
Speaker 3: leading from the Democratic side in the poll I saw
Speaker 3: this morning, the leading Democratic leader is I don't know,
Speaker 3: and AOC's second. Well, you know, but they have folks
Speaker 3: out there who could grab into those additional voting blocks.
Speaker 3: They just don't want them. Joe Manchin is, oh, absolutely
Speaker 3: you and John Fetterman, Yeah, Joe Manchin I've met, I've
Speaker 3: met on several occasions. Joe Manchin is one of the
Speaker 3: guys who when you walk up to him and you
Speaker 3: say get afternoon, senator, and he goes taps you on
Speaker 3: the shoulder and goes, don't do that, Joe, Okay, we're
Speaker 3: having lunch together. Don't call me senator all the time.
Speaker 3: Just call me Joe.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, maybe and maybe it comes across
Speaker 1: the sincere and in the case of Fetterman, maybe more
Speaker 1: Democrats would benefit from having a stroke and recover. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's what they need to do.
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm really starting to like Fetterman. I
Speaker 3: I know, I wish he would maybe we could hear. Okay,
Speaker 3: here's what we're gonna do. You and I are going
Speaker 3: to go find a black hoodie for his size, and
Speaker 3: we're going to paint a tie on it. Well, you know,
Speaker 3: there is a bit of decorum that should take place
Speaker 3: in the in the in the House, in the in
Speaker 3: the Senate, and I think, you know, somebody going up
Speaker 3: to be President of the Senate for a day shouldn't
Speaker 3: be wearing shorts and a hoodie. But so maybe we
Speaker 3: let's let's go do that. Let's go let's blame it
Speaker 3: do I'm a hoodie with it with a tie on it.
Speaker 3: I like the idea. Do you think humor's done? He
Speaker 3: certainly is has a ten ear to his own constituency. Well,
Speaker 3: I'm not his own constituency necessarily to his own to
Speaker 3: the left wing of that party. Yeah, that's his constituency. Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's his constituency and the US Senate and that in
Speaker 3: the House. Unless that changes that's gonna spell doom for
Speaker 3: the Democrats in twenty six and twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I think I agree.
Speaker 3: I agree with you and a particularly what people aren't
Speaker 3: looking at right now, Gary Jeff, is that the map
Speaker 3: for Democrats on the Senate side in two years is
Speaker 3: near impossible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but what about the the midterms always swing
Speaker 1: back to the other party. The House is a different creature.
Speaker 1: House could very easily swing. It's very close. House.
Speaker 3: House is decided by different issues that take place. But
Speaker 3: if you take a look at who's defending on the
Speaker 3: Republican side, who's defending on the Democratic side, and what
Speaker 3: are the open seats in the matchups, it's going to
Speaker 3: be real tough for the Democrats to take back the Senate. Well,
Speaker 3: the other thing that you probably are aware and that
Speaker 3: would clearly if that happens, that's clearly the end of Shumer.
Speaker 3: The other thing that you're probably aware of is there
Speaker 3: is redistricting in twenty thirty yep, and it looks like
Speaker 3: California's going to lose more seats, Illinois is going to
Speaker 3: lose more seats, New York is going to lose more seats,
Speaker 3: and Canada's going to have the most seats of anybody
Speaker 3: in the Congress.
Speaker 1: No, but and these are going to places like Texas
Speaker 1: and Florida and Utah, which I understand is not.
Speaker 3: Do you think when we start building Gaza rebuilding Gaza
Speaker 3: honing seats, do you think they'll have in the House.
Speaker 1: I think they'll have some really really prime views of
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean.
Speaker 3: You know again, you know the old line, from the
Speaker 3: old line from political science. They got surfing too, no
Speaker 3: doubt about it. I love that all this posturing from Greenland,
Speaker 3: like you know, they don't want any more US influence. Well,
Speaker 3: that is the one area where people say Trump's just
Speaker 3: gone off the rails.
Speaker 1: It's crazy talk. He really doesn't mean it. I think
Speaker 1: he means it with Greenland because of Russia and China
Speaker 1: and that the Arctic Circle and that being there for
Speaker 1: our security. And I think that the Panamanians definitely violated
Speaker 1: the Canal Treaty from what they promised that it would
Speaker 1: remain neutral and it wasn't. Those Chinese ports are closed.
Speaker 1: I really think there is not as a state, but
Speaker 1: as a US protectorate like Guam. I think Greenland, no
Speaker 1: matter what Finland says, is a real possibility. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's pie in the sky, do you.
Speaker 3: Know I I other than from a humorous standpoint, I
Speaker 3: haven't focused on it too much. I've been trying to
Speaker 3: come up with one liner is about too much coming
Speaker 3: up with one liners about Canada becoming a state to
Speaker 3: worry about, to worry about about Greenland becoming becoming a
Speaker 3: our northern port, our northernmost Puerto Rico. I just don't
Speaker 3: see it happening. No, I just don't see it happening. Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 3: I understand. I understand though it is crucial for for
Speaker 3: our security in the North Atlantic. It absolutely there are
Speaker 3: a lot of places that are crucial for our security.
Speaker 3: But are they going to get cut back by by
Speaker 3: US A, I, D. And the and the money that
Speaker 3: we're cutting back on that? I mean, you know that's
Speaker 3: that's part of what's going on that I'm looking at
Speaker 3: an overplaying of a hand. Yeah, of going okay, we
Speaker 3: need to cut this, we need to cut that, we
Speaker 3: need to cut this. Wait a minute, this over here,
Speaker 3: why is that there?
Speaker 1: Wet it? And like I tell you, we got to
Speaker 1: go back.
Speaker 3: Can look at it and go, oh, hit, that's a
Speaker 3: military base in the middle of the Philippines.
Speaker 1: That's really kind of important. Talk to Alison Wynn last night,
Speaker 1: who was a brilliant computer scientist, entrepreneurs shields like seven patents,
Speaker 1: and she is she was born in Vietnam and came
Speaker 1: here as a political refugee as a child and has
Speaker 1: become an American citizen, is very successful. And we were
Speaker 1: talking about USAID and she made a very good point.
Speaker 1: She said, Okay, I know USAID does help us, but
Speaker 1: is it ten percent of the money twenty percent of
Speaker 1: the money? I mean, they definitely need that magnifying glass
Speaker 1: on USAID without totally cutting off all foreign aid to
Speaker 1: determine I mean, you know, the millions of dollars for
Speaker 1: condoms and Gaza or the Congo just not a good idea.
Speaker 3: Don't disagree on any of it. That needs to come
Speaker 3: under the under the microscope of the State Department. But yeah,
Speaker 3: of the State Department, but not make cuts that actually
Speaker 3: hurt our national defense.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't trust the CIA for as far as I
Speaker 1: can throw them.
Speaker 3: So I have a friend of mine in Special Forces
Speaker 3: who would refer to them as clowns in action.
Speaker 1: And we're finding more and more about that and the
Speaker 1: fact that that's true. Rick Robinson, thank you for a
Speaker 1: wonderful first hour tonight. I look forward to seeing you
Speaker 1: again maybe at nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3: Available on Amazon, you can pick up a copy, along
Speaker 3: with any of my other novels, mostly political thrillers by
Speaker 3: two because I've got grandkids now and I've got a
Speaker 3: buy legos.
Speaker 1: Those suckers are expensive, I joke. By two books. I
Speaker 1: got it, Grandpa. The fur ball is coming up yet
Speaker 1: and much more ahead as the nightcap progresses on this
Speaker 1: Tuesday evening before Red's opening Day. On seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 8: Twenty twenty five Cincinnati Reds.
Speaker 1: That's the ball.
Speaker 16: He's a seven hundred WLW player profile presented by Runkey
Speaker 16: Wasting Recycling Don Wright, also brought to you by Dunnado's
Speaker 16: Pizza and Plumb Tight Heating Cooling in trains. Now with
Speaker 16: a name you need to know, Here's Moegger.
Speaker 17: Even with a promising group of young starting pitchers, the
Speaker 17: Reds needed to find a veteran arm this offseason. Enter
Speaker 17: Brady's Singer, acquired from the Royals in exchange for Jonathan India.
Speaker 17: Singer made thirty two starts and had a three point
Speaker 17: seven to one ERA for a Kansas City team that
Speaker 17: made the playoffs last year. He's a right handed pitcher
Speaker 17: who's twenty eight years old, and he comes with experience,
Speaker 17: having made one hundred and twenty four starts over the
Speaker 17: last five seasons. Last year, he said a career high
Speaker 17: end innings pitched and as a ground ball pitcher who
Speaker 17: relies on his sinker, he keeps the ball in the ballpark,
Speaker 17: having never allowed more than twenty two home runs in
Speaker 17: a season.
Speaker 16: For more player profiles, keep it here. On seven hundred
Speaker 16: w l W, the home of the Centinnati Reds.
Speaker 18: IHeartRadio Music Awards celebrated the music and artist you've loved
Speaker 18: listening to all year on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: Before red season, it's so sad. It's so sad. Well,
Speaker 1: it's sad for me, probably a happy day for most listeners.
Speaker 1: On seven hundred WLW, Gary Jeff and joining us for
Speaker 1: this half hour. I was gonna include him in the
Speaker 1: first hour, but then I thought about the FCC rules
Speaker 1: about safe harbor, and sometimes he gets just a little
Speaker 1: out of that war. I was worried, so I wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure it was after ten o'clock before we talked,
Speaker 1: because I know that occasionally he can lose some control
Speaker 1: over himself and he gets a little wild. So just
Speaker 1: to be on the safe side, Andy Furman, for you
Speaker 1: during the safe harbor period after ten pm, how are
Speaker 1: you doing for a ball?
Speaker 14: Well, may I say with all sincerity, as far as
Speaker 14: the night Cap is concerned, may it rest in peace?
Speaker 1: Oh, oh my god, it's not dead. It's just going
Speaker 1: into hibernation. It's going into hibernation on hiatus. That's right.
Speaker 1: Don't say it's dead, don't predict it's it's early demise. Andy,
Speaker 1: I've only been doing it for like seven or eight
Speaker 1: years in this slot.
Speaker 14: I it should be on every freaking night.
Speaker 19: You know.
Speaker 14: It's a couple of things that need to be changed
Speaker 14: around there, and I could see the one that you
Speaker 14: get a change. Number one, that Burnaman and Jones show
Speaker 14: in the morning, which I like at five minutes pay eight.
Speaker 14: That show should be on every day all year long,
Speaker 14: not just baseball because they don't necessarily always talk about baseball. Right,
Speaker 14: it's my life. Everybody everybody wants to hear Marty Burnaman.
Speaker 14: I don't give me Tracy's fun. I like Tracy a lot,
Speaker 14: but Marty Breneman is the man if people want to
Speaker 14: hear Marty and whit White constricted the six months.
Speaker 1: I tell you what, together those two are gold just
Speaker 1: like I agree, just like you and me on the
Speaker 1: radio at night, it's golden.
Speaker 4: Jail.
Speaker 14: Would you rather hear Burnaman and Jones or Sean Miller?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we don't have to They don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about We don't have to worry about Sean Miller anymore.
Speaker 14: Andy Well Wes Miller either.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have to worry about Wes Miller
Speaker 1: much longer.
Speaker 14: But okay, right, I'm with you. Oh by the way,
Speaker 14: speaking of basketball, I gotta tell you, I got to
Speaker 14: shout out because you were the greatest women's players. I know,
Speaker 14: I know. Don't go crazy on me. You know, she
Speaker 14: got hurt. She has an acl juju. Watston's the USC
Speaker 14: And here's the deal. Okay, USC beat North Carolina Greensborough
Speaker 14: the other day in the first round of the tournament seven.
Speaker 14: They won to twenty five. They were winning by forty
Speaker 14: six points. Yes, she scored twenty two and had eight rebounds,
Speaker 14: three steals, and then she scored double digitsu like in
Speaker 14: every game this year. They took her out and like
Speaker 14: she's limping when she went out of there. So obviously
Speaker 14: the question was asked, you know, how is she doing?
Speaker 14: And now she got the ACL deal in the second game.
Speaker 14: My problem is this, I went back on. I looked
Speaker 14: at some of the scores in the opening round that
Speaker 14: are women's games. They should be ashamed of themselves. Okay,
Speaker 14: could I just run down for you Yukon one all three,
Speaker 14: Arkansas State thirty four, Largest le seventy two points, Wow,
Speaker 14: Duke eighty six, Lehigh twenty five. South Carolina one O eight,
Speaker 14: Tennessee Tech forty eight. Okay, I'm gonna go on LSU
Speaker 14: one O three, San Diego State forty eight. There should
Speaker 14: be a law against this. No Ja Dame one O six,
Speaker 14: Steven F. Austin fifty four.
Speaker 19: I mean, are you andy?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Hold on? There's no crying in basketball, even
Speaker 1: if it's women's basketball. And I'm sorry, do you think
Speaker 1: there should be some kind of a mercy rule in
Speaker 1: the women's game that doesn't exist in the men's.
Speaker 14: Well, I will tell you this. I know Gino, the
Speaker 14: coach at Yukon, he leaves his daughters at all. He
Speaker 14: never clears the bench out shame on him. I hope
Speaker 14: U Khan does not win it all again. I hope
Speaker 14: they don't win it all. You know, there's a point
Speaker 14: in time when you know you talk about I know,
Speaker 14: I know, I'm looking on the silver line here. He
Speaker 14: should talk about sportsmanship. I get it. The games are great,
Speaker 14: Why why shake hands after the game? You know, when
Speaker 14: these basketball games are over, they have that line. Each
Speaker 14: team goes back of what they shake it. Well, I
Speaker 14: wouldn't shake your hand. You beat me at seventy two points.
Speaker 14: Why am I gonna shake your hand? For what reasons?
Speaker 14: You humiliated me? You embarrassed me. That's they didn't know.
Speaker 14: There should be some sort of a don't stop the game,
Speaker 14: and there's no mercy rule.
Speaker 19: But clan the beds, Clan the beds.
Speaker 14: What you really?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Andy, what you were talking about
Speaker 1: with these women's tournament scores and how just they're just bludgeonings.
Speaker 1: They're they're not even games. And doesn't it point out
Speaker 1: another thing about the women's game right now? The difference
Speaker 1: between the haves and have nots is such a great
Speaker 1: golf there's not the parody that you see in the
Speaker 1: men's game. I mean, really, you know.
Speaker 14: They don't get there. I mean, obviously the opening round
Speaker 14: was like that round two perhaps as well. I think
Speaker 14: as we go down the line with the women's game,
Speaker 14: I think the USC is the note to Dame's UCLA's
Speaker 14: I mean, and UCLA loss, I believe. But you know
Speaker 14: you'll see these teams the Yukon's. They'll be more evenly matched.
Speaker 14: But still in all I'm mean, you didn't see that
Speaker 14: in the opening rounds of the men's games. The coming there.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. And I don't think it's because
Speaker 1: they were exhibiting good sportsmanship, but just the difference is
Speaker 1: the golf is not as wide in the in the
Speaker 1: men's game as game.
Speaker 14: I agree, it will get better, and I'll tell you
Speaker 14: what though, I don't think it's going to continue much
Speaker 14: longer because I'll tell you why. April seventh is a
Speaker 14: real big day in college athletics. Certainly that night is
Speaker 14: the National Championship game, but that's the day that the
Speaker 14: Congress is going to this issue they're ruling on. The
Speaker 14: NTUAA money is like something like twenty million dollars is
Speaker 14: going to be split over these people, these athletes who
Speaker 14: are owed money over the years of nil. And here's
Speaker 14: the deal. This is what's going to happen. A lot
Speaker 14: of people don't understand it, and I don't completely understand it.
Speaker 14: But what's going to happen. These schools are going to
Speaker 14: get the money and they're going to align this money
Speaker 14: between and IL money in football and basketball. My take
Speaker 14: is this. My take is that if you have a
Speaker 14: school that only plays basketball, you're in better shape where
Speaker 14: A you don't have to split the money, and B
Speaker 14: nil is going to be distributed only to maybe twelve
Speaker 14: thirteen kids as opposed to eighty three whatever it may be,
Speaker 14: fifty three at football. You know, if you take a
Speaker 14: look right now in the NCAA Men's tournament, you do
Speaker 14: not see any I don't I took a quick glance
Speaker 14: at the bracket. I don't think there is one basketball
Speaker 14: only playing school remaining in the bracket right now, which
Speaker 14: is unheard of. That really I don't remember the last
Speaker 14: time that ever happens. But that's going to change. So
Speaker 14: if you will, I heard of Marquette, if you're at
Speaker 14: Saint John's, whatever, may or Xavier or Zavier, right you
Speaker 14: may be in better state. Where Sean Miller is going
Speaker 14: at Texas. Why do I say that people are gonna
Speaker 14: be shaking the head because the majority of the nil
Speaker 14: money which is going to be granted on the seventh
Speaker 14: of April by Congress, is going to go to the football,
Speaker 14: not the basketball.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I understand where you're coming from on this, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a a wildly odd take as uh,
Speaker 1: compared to some of your others that you've expressed on
Speaker 1: this program. I think that's right up right up the
Speaker 1: alley of reasonability, which you know, which is rare when
Speaker 1: it happens with Andy Furman.
Speaker 14: Why do you have to insult me I said something
Speaker 14: somewhat intelligent, I mean, and you put me down, you
Speaker 14: give me a kick in the rear end. I don't
Speaker 14: get it. I mean why I want.
Speaker 1: To tell you. I want to tell you just to
Speaker 1: change gears here before we're off the women's college basketball.
Speaker 1: I've got to be totally honest.
Speaker 14: We should get off it, like right now because people
Speaker 14: probably clicking their radio. I hit the clicks already.
Speaker 1: I can't watch the game because Caitlin Clark is playing pro.
Speaker 15: Now.
Speaker 1: I was a Caitlin Clark fan. I wasn't never a
Speaker 1: college women's basketball fan. So you're right.
Speaker 14: That, yeah, I become I become a women's college basketball fan.
Speaker 14: I'd be honest with you. I did not go to
Speaker 14: one U, S, n KU or Zvier women's game at
Speaker 14: all this year, although I've been invited by my good
Speaker 14: friend Brianna Sanders, who is the assistant women's coach at Xavier,
Speaker 14: who is the daughter of Steve Sanders. If you remember,
Speaker 14: let me tell you about Steven Sanders, who played for
Speaker 14: UC Okay when they had the very first game at
Speaker 14: Fifth Third Arena, they played University of Minnesota. I was
Speaker 14: doing sports talk with Chris Collinsworth on seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 14: and I said on those airwaves that if in fact
Speaker 14: Minnesota beats U see that night in the very first
Speaker 14: game at ff Third, I would let you see shave
Speaker 14: my head, all right. So what happened. Steve Sanders hits
Speaker 14: a three at the buzzer and Cincinnati beats Minnesota. The
Speaker 14: next day, I'm out there at mid court and the
Speaker 14: shave of my head. So I was bord. So this
Speaker 14: is his daughter's Brianna.
Speaker 1: So that's well, means after after seeing you, uh you
Speaker 1: know more routinely, Uh, I don't, I don't think that
Speaker 1: that's a bad look for you, and you keep it
Speaker 1: pretty pretty close to the skull anyway most of the time.
Speaker 14: I do, but I can't do I can't shave it
Speaker 14: all the way because underneath the skull is a you
Speaker 14: see logo and I don't want to walk around what
Speaker 14: do you see logo on? That's why I let the
Speaker 14: hair grow it back.
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you because it was earlier
Speaker 1: this week, may have been Monday morning, yesterday morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my wife always has Local twelve on in the morning,
Speaker 1: and yes, I come out, get my cup of coffee,
Speaker 1: take my morning meds, and my wife has the TV on.
Speaker 1: She's always up before I am. And what do I see?
Speaker 1: What do I walk out into? A fantastic piece about
Speaker 1: the place where you work as a pr guy, the
Speaker 1: point Arc, and was interview with Judy Kerding and some
Speaker 1: other people that were involved in helping these these folks
Speaker 1: that the point Arc helps that may have some disability
Speaker 1: or are disadvantage in some way intellectually or physically, and
Speaker 1: how the perk coffee place and the new pretzel thing
Speaker 1: that you guys have got coming out to this.
Speaker 14: To you you took your notes on them that was
Speaker 14: one of the best pieces. It was like two and
Speaker 14: a half three minutes. And Aliah Harg's from A News
Speaker 14: twelve did the story. Yeah, hats off to her. I
Speaker 14: mean really and truly do in depth story because I
Speaker 14: look at the Point Dark and I don't want to
Speaker 14: like blow my home because I worked there. I'm not
Speaker 14: one of those guys. But to me, it's like a
Speaker 14: mini city because you have the Zech Education Center, the
Speaker 14: Zech Educational Center where they basically have school. You can
Speaker 14: get a degree there, really get a diploma, so they
Speaker 14: have classes there. That's number one. They have the enterprises
Speaker 14: like the laundry, the Point Per coffee shop, the Zell's Pretzels,
Speaker 14: they have the place, the apparel shop, so these are
Speaker 14: places where people with disabilities can work and earn a
Speaker 14: salary in the community. That's number two. And they have
Speaker 14: the sixteen residential homes that are in operation twenty four
Speaker 14: to seven, three hundred and sixty five days a year
Speaker 14: for three or four people live in these homes and
Speaker 14: they're going just to like three hundred thousand dollars homes
Speaker 14: in the three counties in northern Kentucky. So it is
Speaker 14: like a mini city that the point Arc has, and
Speaker 14: I'm not going to say it's the best Cutch secret
Speaker 14: because I think a lot of people do know about it,
Speaker 14: and thanks to Ms Horges at Channel twelve one, people
Speaker 14: know about it now. And by the way, not only
Speaker 14: did that story hit Channel twelve, it made some nonprofit
Speaker 14: publication and it went national. It went national. Yes, they
Speaker 14: so the thank goodness that it did, because I think
Speaker 14: what people need to know about it.
Speaker 1: It was a very illuminating I've heard you talk about it,
Speaker 1: We've talked about it before in this show. But it
Speaker 1: was such a good in depth look and you had
Speaker 1: the actual people who were working at the coffee shop
Speaker 1: and on camera explaining what they did and what the
Speaker 1: jobs meant to them. A guy who was stitching apparel.
Speaker 1: They're making clothes there, T shirts and the whole thing
Speaker 1: right right right within that small city you're talking about.
Speaker 1: That is the point Arc all Right had.
Speaker 14: The apparel shop is in Latonia, Kentucky, and they do
Speaker 14: T shirt, it's hoodies and whatever it may be for
Speaker 14: various teams around around the tri State. It's great, but
Speaker 14: it's taught to believe the hard a schmuck like me,
Speaker 14: do you think about that? Really right.
Speaker 1: No, they're not the first to have made that mistake, Candy.
Speaker 14: So I knew you want to compliment me, and that's
Speaker 14: where I went down that road. But it's okay, all.
Speaker 19: Right, Miday.
Speaker 1: We got a three and a half, four minutes left.
Speaker 1: The Reds have been projected to win seventy nine and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 14: You're not talking about I don't want to talk about
Speaker 14: the Reds. You know why. Let me tell you why,
Speaker 14: because if it were the report, I don't like weather reports,
Speaker 14: and let us talk about certain things that are happening.
Speaker 14: And what's happening right now is that I'm going to
Speaker 14: be on the Sons and Daughters of the Italian situate,
Speaker 14: the Italian Organization on the float on Thursday at the parade.
Speaker 14: I was invited.
Speaker 1: Son of Italy have got Andy f on their float.
Speaker 14: I had no idea. And you know what you're involved
Speaker 14: with the Italian Fest.
Speaker 2: I know you are right Newport, sure, I know, and I.
Speaker 14: Met the guys.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 14: I have a weekly show on another radio station with
Speaker 14: Jim Lear Barber's on w DJO. I can mentioned it
Speaker 14: was we ere in the iHeart app Saturday morning because
Speaker 14: I know what it's called what's the point we talk
Speaker 14: about nonprofits? And this past Saturday I had the guys
Speaker 14: from the Finley Market Parade and the Sons of Italy
Speaker 14: and the Italian Club, and they invited me there. You
Speaker 14: don't have to be Italian to be a member, so
Speaker 14: they're saying that I could be a member, and Frank
Speaker 14: Marzoula is going to be on the flow with us too.
Speaker 1: Do you have to at least demonstrate your allegiance by
Speaker 1: consuming a meatball or anything like that.
Speaker 14: I mean, there are Oh, there's going to be a
Speaker 14: lot of pizza and wine on the flow. Then there's
Speaker 14: going to be an opera singer on the float. And
Speaker 14: by the way, by the way, this is a strange coincidence.
Speaker 14: The driver of the float, he's been doing it for
Speaker 14: ten years, is from Brooklyn and it was a big
Speaker 14: feature on him, Joe Bollino and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle yesterday.
Speaker 14: So if anybody wants to google Brooklyn Daily Eagle, you
Speaker 14: could read the story about Joe Bolino who's the driver
Speaker 14: of the float, and a beautiful picture of the Filey
Speaker 14: Market Parade in color in the Brooklyn Eagle on yesterday's edition.
Speaker 1: Well, now that you've established yourself as squarely Italian. I
Speaker 1: think that you have more than enough gramatas and coins
Speaker 1: to join me on stage if I'm if I'm humbled
Speaker 1: and honored enough to be asked to MC the opening
Speaker 1: ceremonies at Newport's Italian Fest again. This year, it'll be
Speaker 1: I think the third week in June or second week
Speaker 1: in June. I want you to be up on stage
Speaker 1: with me, My Pazan.
Speaker 14: Well, you know what, I hate to be the bearer
Speaker 14: of bed and it's just a bad day for you anyway,
Speaker 14: because number one, it's like the last show. That's number one, right,
Speaker 14: number two, like they asked me to do it, So
Speaker 14: I guess you're out.
Speaker 1: You know what, No, you cannot steal. I cannot steal
Speaker 1: my keg. And I was inviting, I was inviting you
Speaker 1: to join me and share that spotlight I get every year.
Speaker 1: And here you are pushing me out of the picture,
Speaker 1: off the stage, completely right into the river.
Speaker 14: What's the show Saturday? And I said, oh, the Italian Fest,
Speaker 14: my buddy Gary Jeff Walker, And they said, yes, so
Speaker 14: you're in. You're in. Don't worry about I protect you.
Speaker 14: I'm not a backstabber like some others in this business.
Speaker 14: I'm not that well.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know is a week before Italian Fest. If
Speaker 1: I wake up and there's a horsehead in my bed,
Speaker 1: I don't know who put it there, Andy Furman.
Speaker 14: I don't think so. Now all right, I got something.
Speaker 14: I got something. If you talk about the Italians, I
Speaker 14: got to get equal time. Now you're in equal time.
Speaker 14: Go go, okay okay. Much of the season they were
Speaker 14: four coaches Auburn's Bruce Pearl, Duke University's John Shire, University
Speaker 14: of Florida's Todd Golden, and the University of Southern Calist
Speaker 14: women's team Losey Gosley. They've been close to or near
Speaker 14: the top in the top four teams of the country. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 14: you know what, Last Sunday, March sixteenth, all of them
Speaker 14: were rewarded with the number one seeds in the NTAA
Speaker 14: Division men and women's basketball tournament. To guess what, All
Speaker 14: four of them were Jews? All four of them are Jews.
Speaker 14: Was that that's pretty neat? Top four coaches are old Jews.
Speaker 1: Well, Andy, I couldn't be happier for your people, and
Speaker 1: I consider I consider your people.
Speaker 14: Other thing.
Speaker 1: That's right, God's chosen people. Your people are my people. Andy,
Speaker 1: so Mikasa su Casa. We will talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: I know it won't be all summer before I get
Speaker 1: this is it. We're over, We're done.
Speaker 14: This is it, this is it.
Speaker 1: Goodbye.
Speaker 14: Well, let me tell you it's been a pleasure. I
Speaker 14: love the time with you. I don't like to say
Speaker 14: to you as Sholom I.
Speaker 1: Say good day, sir. I said good day, good evening.
Speaker 1: Oh it's the nightcap and there's still plenty more ahead.
Speaker 1: On seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 7: It was constructed over five thousand years ago in Wiltshire, England,
Speaker 7: a mysterious ring of massive stones, thirteen feet tall and
Speaker 7: simply known as Stone Hinge. No one knows who built
Speaker 7: it or why, but leading scientists do agree on one thing.
Speaker 7: We all enjoy listening to Bill Cunningham's.
Speaker 1: Sure Bill Cunningham Scientists approved tomorrow at twelve noon on
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. This is Ashley akin any from the
Speaker 1: bed in Ashley. I all bord of this conversation every
Speaker 1: time we have it. JT. Young, who is an author,
Speaker 1: he's many things. He's had a piece in the Hill
Speaker 1: last week talking about well, the devastating situation Democrats seem
Speaker 1: to find them in in twenty twenty five after the
Speaker 1: President Trump victory and what looks like a party in
Speaker 1: complete disarray. He says, disarray doesn't come close to describing
Speaker 1: the Democrats situation as a party. Right now, the Democrats
Speaker 1: are disintegrating. His name is JT.
Speaker 15: Young.
Speaker 1: JT. Welcome back to the show. How are you?
Speaker 5: It's always a pleasure to be with you. Gary job Well,
Speaker 5: thanks for.
Speaker 19: Having me back.
Speaker 1: I didn't even pay him to say that.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 1: I saw a poll today and I was mentioning it
Speaker 1: with a guest earlier tonight. The latest poll said that
Speaker 1: I don't know led in the question of who was
Speaker 1: who was the Democrat's new leader. I don't know was
Speaker 1: like at twenty six percent, and AOC was second and
Speaker 1: not a close second. Your thoughts on any of that.
Speaker 5: Well, I would think that I don't know would be
Speaker 5: preferable to the I do know that the Democrats have
Speaker 5: all around them, and you just mentioned AOC, which would
Speaker 5: be another gift to Republicans, you know, please nominate her.
Speaker 5: I would say, I've seen polls where they say who
Speaker 5: the front runner is for the twenty twenty eight Democrat
Speaker 5: nomination and Obviously people always just play back to their
Speaker 5: memory and it had Kamala Harris way out in front
Speaker 5: another where would be an absolutely gifts the Democrat. I'm
Speaker 5: it's a Republican, So I think I don't know would
Speaker 5: be preferable to the I do knows that are surrounding
Speaker 5: the Democrats right now, because you know they are they're
Speaker 5: basically a disaster of disarray.
Speaker 1: Well, no, they've been there before. They were kind of
Speaker 1: there in nineteen seventy two, they were kind of there
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four, and somehow they managed to claw
Speaker 1: themselves back. What kind of help can the Republican not?
Speaker 1: Do we want them to the Republicans to give them
Speaker 1: any help. But I mean, if President Trump does not
Speaker 1: have a successful presidency, ie, fulfilling most of his agenda,
Speaker 1: especially on the economy, then that helps Democrats kind of
Speaker 1: claw their way back, doesn't it.
Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, Gary, Jeff, and I think you've already
Speaker 5: hit the nail on the head, which is the thing
Speaker 5: that Republicans would do to bring Democrats back into the
Speaker 5: game is to fail to deliver on Trump's agenda.
Speaker 15: And the top of that will be you know.
Speaker 5: You've got to extend the tax cuts. You've got to
Speaker 5: pass the budget, you've got to pass this reconciliation bill.
Speaker 4: You have the votes.
Speaker 5: It's going to be tight. We all know it's going
Speaker 5: to be tough. But it's time to work together because
Speaker 5: what you're seeing from the Democrats, and you mentioned it
Speaker 5: so well nineteen seventy two. In fact, I mentioned it
Speaker 5: in my book George McGovern Flippley said, I opened the
Speaker 5: door to the Democrat Party and millions of people walked out,
Speaker 5: and it hits on the it hits the nail on
Speaker 5: the head that this array, you know, drives Americans away.
Speaker 5: So publicans join Democrats in being disorganized, having no message,
Speaker 5: refusing to follow their messenger. They will deal Democrats back
Speaker 5: into the game. But as it stands right now, if
Speaker 5: they stand united, work together with their type majority, and
Speaker 5: continue to govern, that's really all Americans are asking.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that was one of the problems when
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi lost the speakership because the House changed hands
Speaker 1: or changed control. Nancy Pelosi was great at keeping the
Speaker 1: Democrats together, right, I mean, you can't you can't deny
Speaker 1: that that's the one thing that the Democrats had that
Speaker 1: the Republicans didn't seem to have is like this party unity. Boy,
Speaker 1: they're all over the place. They scattered like water dropping
Speaker 1: in a pile of oil. The Democrats did. Now that's
Speaker 1: that's been a major.
Speaker 5: Change, right, Yeah, And you mentioned and I think Nancy
Speaker 5: Plosi is a perfect case example here. You're right, she
Speaker 5: could wield them together.
Speaker 4: And just to see how.
Speaker 5: Far things have changed, look at what she's now facing
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty six. She has already been challenged by
Speaker 5: AOC's former campaign staffer in her district in California. And
Speaker 5: you read the statements that he's making, and all you
Speaker 5: have to do is read between the lines, and he's
Speaker 5: talking about her forty five years in Congress. Democrats are
Speaker 5: fracturing intergenerationally, they're fracturing ideologically, they're fracturing geographically. Every way
Speaker 5: they can split, they are. And Nancy Pelosi, to your credit,
Speaker 5: is a perfect case example because they're already gunning for her.
Speaker 5: And just look at what AOC is. You know, all
Speaker 5: the Democrats that are egging her on to challenge Chuck
Speaker 5: Schumer in the Senate primary in New York.
Speaker 15: And you just you see them feeding on themselves.
Speaker 1: Well, you talk about Trump's agenda and the president's campaign
Speaker 1: promises and what he's going after. So far, he's been
Speaker 1: very successful on immigration, regardless of what some some district
Speaker 1: judge decides, because I think all of those blocks on
Speaker 1: the deportations are going to be overruled eventually by the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, because I'm sure the Supreme Court does not
Speaker 1: look favorably on a district judge who thinks he's more
Speaker 1: important and impactful than they are, and he's just in
Speaker 1: one jurisdiction. The Supreme Court obviously makes judges judges the
Speaker 1: laws and what is lawful and constitutional for the entire nation,
Speaker 1: not some singular district court judge somewhere. But you talk
Speaker 1: about Trump's agenda being successful, how successful do you think
Speaker 1: he may be in and actually getting rid of the
Speaker 1: government waste with all of the roadblocks that are being
Speaker 1: put up in front of him right now, for example, I.
Speaker 5: Think you've already mentioned, you know, the court challenges, We
Speaker 5: as conservatives shouldn't be surprised. Democrats and liberals have used
Speaker 5: the court when they couldn't make laws because they didn't.
Speaker 15: Have legislative majorities.
Speaker 5: They used court decisions to remake the laws already on
Speaker 5: the books to their own purposes, So the fact that
Speaker 5: they would retreat to where they have been for decades
Speaker 5: shouldn't surprise us. And I think you also make the point.
Speaker 5: I think the Supreme Court will probably pold many of
Speaker 5: Trump's executive orders, and every time they do, they create
Speaker 5: a new precedent for him to use on other executive orders.
Speaker 5: And even when they block him, as they did Joe Biden,
Speaker 5: remember on student loan forgiveness, Biden's administration constantly then tried
Speaker 5: to work around the Supreme Court prohibition. So the point
Speaker 5: I'm trying to make is even where Trump is unsuccessful,
Speaker 5: the court will often leave tracks that will point to
Speaker 5: where he could go and be more successful on a
Speaker 5: future attempt. So I think we shouldn't be surprised that
Speaker 5: the Democrats are bringing the courts into this. We shouldn't
Speaker 5: be surprised when Trump.
Speaker 15: Prevails on many of them.
Speaker 5: But even on the ones he doesn't, he's going to
Speaker 5: get direction of how he can continue, and I think
Speaker 5: that's where we need to focus.
Speaker 1: He is the author of Unprecedented Assault, How big Government
Speaker 1: unleashed America's socialist left. And you know, the next book
Speaker 1: jt ought to be something about how the America's socialist
Speaker 1: left unleashed a new conservative movement.
Speaker 4: Very good point.
Speaker 5: I'm an American realignment.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, yeah, absolutely. JT. Young, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for your time tonight. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me again. Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 5: have a great night.
Speaker 1: You bet you up next. Doctor Alvida King on the
Speaker 1: dissillusion of the Department of Education.
Speaker 12: Her thoughts, goodbye and that's gone, so let's go back,
Speaker 12: come back.
Speaker 18: Deepare God, that's the board day, that's the bar day.
Speaker 8: The seven hundred W L tell you RNL Carriers opening.
Speaker 4: D how about that?

Speaker 18: O our iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrated the music and artists
Speaker 18: you've loved listening to all year on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: This is another one of those conversations that I have
Speaker 1: looked forward to ever since I found out she was available,
Speaker 1: Doctor Elvita King. The education has been just her cornerstone.
Speaker 1: Doctor King, of course, is the niece of the greatest
Speaker 1: civil rights leader this country has known, certainly in the
Speaker 1: twentieth century, Martin Luther King Junior. And she has been
Speaker 1: very vocal as a supporter of President Trump. And now
Speaker 1: the president is trying to fulfill one of his campaign promises.
Speaker 1: He really really tries to fulfill every promise he's made
Speaker 1: on the campaign trio promises made promises, Kep, that's one
Speaker 1: of the Trump mottos, and one of them was dismantling
Speaker 1: or totally doing away with the Department of Education, or
Speaker 1: as doctor King calls it, the Department of indoctrination, because
Speaker 1: that is what has become. Doctor King, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: How are you Gary?
Speaker 19: Just wander?
Speaker 20: You can call me Alvida too, Doctor King is accurate.
Speaker 20: Alvida is signed. Can I give you a backstory, a
Speaker 20: bit of a foundation. Sure, in the nineteen seventies, I
Speaker 20: was a state legislator, a Democrat, passed some bills and
Speaker 20: worked across the isle, and we were not enemies, though in.
Speaker 19: Those days the two parties could work together.
Speaker 20: I was on the House Education Committee, and I was
Speaker 20: a strong average kid for education. I've found the King's
Speaker 20: family legacy, Daddy King and Mama King, my dad Ad
Speaker 20: and my mom doctor Naomi Martin Luther King, Junior Ministry, Education,
Speaker 20: civil rights, that's what you know.
Speaker 19: And out of my daddy's house.
Speaker 20: We're also great cooks, by the way. So in those
Speaker 20: years I was on the House Education Committee, I left
Speaker 20: there to be a college professor for nineteen years. That
Speaker 20: is what is now at Atlanta Metropolitan Politican University, I think.
Speaker 20: And so I also was a principal at a Christian school.
Speaker 20: So I have a strong education background. I do have
Speaker 20: an earned PhD. And an honorary doctorate, and a master's
Speaker 20: and business a lot of things like that. So I
Speaker 20: wanted to give you my interest in education. I was
Speaker 20: appointed by President G. W. Bush to the Department of
Speaker 20: Education in a regional office is number two share in
Speaker 20: over eight states.
Speaker 19: So I do have a background.
Speaker 20: So when I heard every president has threatened or many
Speaker 20: presidents says we're going to get rid of the Department
Speaker 20: of Education. It started several decades ago and different presidents
Speaker 20: would say they didn't want it anymore, so nobody has
Speaker 20: done it. When President Trump said get rid of it
Speaker 20: and shut it down, I thought about it myself and
Speaker 20: I did put out a couple off eds, maybe saying,
Speaker 20: if you don't get rid of it, then reorganize it,
Speaker 20: redo it, reform it, make it smaller, make it serve
Speaker 20: so that children can have four h again, so that
Speaker 20: children can learn about agriculture again, or business or medicine,
Speaker 20: or they could say the Pledge of allegiance or do
Speaker 20: a prayer at lunch.
Speaker 19: Do that again.
Speaker 20: So make education serve families, children and parents again. So
Speaker 20: that's my position, not so much shut it all the
Speaker 20: way down, although you know if they do that, I'm okay,
Speaker 20: I understand, But at least make education better again.
Speaker 19: At least do that. And that is my position.
Speaker 1: Well, we spend more money person than any other nation
Speaker 1: in the world, and yet we're fortieth when it comes
Speaker 1: to proficiency overall in math, in science, in reading and writing.
Speaker 1: Those are the foundational reasons that we have in education,
Speaker 1: syst that's what you're supposed to be learning.
Speaker 20: Yes, as a principal, I brought back the gardening, the hydroponics,
Speaker 20: the church club.
Speaker 19: You know, all that kind of thing.
Speaker 20: When I was a principal, it was a church school,
Speaker 20: but I was a principal.
Speaker 19: So I do agree with you, and so it is
Speaker 19: in the works.
Speaker 20: And I do know Linda McMahon, wonderful, fine, brilliant mind.
Speaker 19: They's a compascitive person.
Speaker 20: So I know that we are in good hands. Whichever
Speaker 20: way it goes. I'm fine if it goes down, Okay,
Speaker 20: send everything back to the States and then hold the
Speaker 20: States accountable. Folks with your votes, make sure you do that,
Speaker 20: or just reorganized it. Slim it down and make America
Speaker 20: serve the parents and the children.
Speaker 4: And as vucation again.
Speaker 1: I had a guest on the show last night, Alvida,
Speaker 1: who made the accusation that the NEA, the National Education
Speaker 1: Association as it stands today, is an evil organization. Do
Speaker 1: you share those sin views.
Speaker 19: It actually is.
Speaker 20: I had problems when you know, I became a student
Speaker 20: teacher or a supply teacher, I'm sorry, a supply teacher,
Speaker 20: and then a college professor, and then a principle, and
Speaker 20: so I knew that the NEA was just not really
Speaker 20: working for the students or really the teachers, because the
Speaker 20: teachers don't get paid enough, and they pretend to help
Speaker 20: and want to do better, but they don't. So I
Speaker 20: you know, there's a soul tax, a thing called a
Speaker 20: soul tax. And here in America in this century, how
Speaker 20: much is my soul worth to me if I'm an
Speaker 20: if I'm an actor or a dancer or a famous
Speaker 20: big lawyer or something like, how much do I need
Speaker 20: to get paid on an athlete? How much am I
Speaker 20: do is my sole work for me to give up
Speaker 20: what's important, relationship with God and my family and all that.
Speaker 20: If I'm gonna give all that up, how much is
Speaker 20: my soul worth?
Speaker 1: Well, these teachers unions in the.
Speaker 19: Anya, they're not paying the teachers. They're paying everybody out.
Speaker 1: They're paying the unions. Yeah, they're they're they're there for
Speaker 1: the unions basically, right, right? And And what are what
Speaker 1: is being taught in schools? What has been taught in
Speaker 1: schools is totally adverse to anything that you could call
Speaker 1: a productive education for the parents and for the students.
Speaker 1: We're talking about perverse sexual behaviors being taught as early
Speaker 1: as as five and six years old, gender confusion, anti
Speaker 1: biblical ideologies, all behind the backs of parents, and this
Speaker 1: has gotten stuff.
Speaker 19: How to put a condom on a banana? Yeah, they're
Speaker 19: gonna help. How is that going to help a child?
Speaker 20: A drag queen dancing in the libraries and naked in
Speaker 20: front of the children, how are they going to teach
Speaker 20: the children?
Speaker 15: How?
Speaker 1: No, it's not. The Constitution gives no authority to the
Speaker 1: federal government to control education. And I think about the
Speaker 1: great expansion of this country as it was expanding westward
Speaker 1: into the frontier. Those people weren't relying on the president
Speaker 1: or Washington d c. To educate their children. They were
Speaker 1: building the schools themselves. They were building the roads to
Speaker 1: the schools themselves, They were hiring the teachers themselves, and
Speaker 1: they hired people that they believed were going to give
Speaker 1: their kids the best path in life after school, i e. Education.
Speaker 1: And we have seen this indoctrination as far as CRT
Speaker 1: in schools telling white people that they should feel guilty
Speaker 1: because of their skin color. Isn't that exactly what your
Speaker 1: uncle fought against only the other way. You do not
Speaker 1: solve bigotry or resolve bigotry by more bigotry.
Speaker 19: Do you let me be a little bit controversial.
Speaker 15: Here, all right?
Speaker 20: I do believe in teaching CRT, but I want you
Speaker 20: to teach what it really is.
Speaker 19: That there was a group of folks.
Speaker 20: With blond hair and blue eyes, so they tell if
Speaker 20: you are Chalian or different things. They were coming after
Speaker 20: you after they got me believe it, and they said
Speaker 20: they were an Aryan race and they were superior. Came
Speaker 20: Charles Darwin Hitler believed this singer. All of them came up,
Speaker 20: cooked up all this stuff. Now there's one blood and
Speaker 20: one human race.
Speaker 19: We're not even separate racist, just separate ethnicity.
Speaker 20: So I said, why don't you teach that CRT is
Speaker 20: a live because there is those superior race. There is
Speaker 20: only one blood and one race. I said, why don't
Speaker 20: you teach that? Because CRT is racist?
Speaker 15: Period.
Speaker 19: Now that was my due on it.
Speaker 20: So let's say, if you say you don't want it,
Speaker 20: please know how to teach why you don't want it.
Speaker 20: And that was the only challenge that I had with
Speaker 20: the CRT issue. And so we really begin to say
Speaker 20: that over and over and people begin to hear us,
Speaker 20: and they understood why CRT is racist.
Speaker 19: Abortion is racist because it kills a human being.
Speaker 20: Yes, why it is wrong to cut body parts off
Speaker 20: of little children if they don't like being whatever they
Speaker 20: are now supposed. A child doesn't even say, I'm not
Speaker 20: a boy or a girl, I'm a frog.
Speaker 19: What are you gonna do next?
Speaker 1: Get a dig a big pond in the backyard, and
Speaker 1: I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 20: I don't try to build out official gills or something.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 19: But that's too far. We have gone too far, and
Speaker 19: we have to come back.
Speaker 20: And then, from my perspective as offician evangelists, we really
Speaker 20: have to come back to God.
Speaker 19: I do want to.
Speaker 20: Mention real quickly if people more about all these things
Speaker 20: that I'm saying.
Speaker 19: I'm at Alvida King dot Com. I'm on YouTube.
Speaker 20: I even have a music channel because we produce a
Speaker 20: lot of music videos and things.
Speaker 19: Like that with some of these same messages.
Speaker 20: So I want people to look me up and to
Speaker 20: see I'm serious. But I believe that as we return
Speaker 20: to God, as we make America play again, make America
Speaker 20: learn ABC's again.
Speaker 1: You know, amen, Doctor King, thank you so much. I

Speaker 1: guy with the aluminum foil hat, over his head all
Speaker 1: the time? Who was warning you of the dangers of
Speaker 1: the cyber world in which we live? And Dave Hatter,
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure to have you the last night cap
Speaker 1: for a while. I think we got we got a
Speaker 1: show on Monday night, April fourteenth. But other than that,
Speaker 1: we get We're all Reds all the time. This is
Speaker 1: the home of the Reds. That's the way we do
Speaker 1: things around here. And so I just have to sit
Speaker 1: in the corner and pout and not make any money,
Speaker 1: all right, So top of the list here uh more
Speaker 1: warnings from the FBI for iPhone and Android users. The
Speaker 1: FBI wants lawful access to all your encrypted data. Can
Speaker 1: we trust the FBI with our information and our data?
Speaker 1: Or do we even have a choice? Dave? What's this
Speaker 1: story about?
Speaker 15: Well, we currently have a choice, carriage, Jess, And whether
Speaker 15: you trust the FBI or not is really the smaller question.
Speaker 15: The larger and more pertinent question is if there's a
Speaker 15: back door built into end to end encryption, And I'll
Speaker 15: come back and explain what that really means at a second,
Speaker 15: can you trust that it will not be exploited or
Speaker 15: abused by some bad actor, whether it's you know, a
Speaker 15: nation state actor like China or it's cybergangs who are
Speaker 15: for a miner of us where he can enormous amounts
Speaker 15: of money from people to all forms of cybercrime. Can
Speaker 15: you really trust the back door? And my short answer
Speaker 15: is absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not just the FBI you're worrying about, because
Speaker 1: if they can get in, others can as well.
Speaker 14: Well.
Speaker 15: That's exactly right, Garry Jeff. And you know this isn't
Speaker 15: just my opinion. You can see many experts from many
Speaker 15: different fields of understand encryption warn't about this. The Electronic
Speaker 15: Frontier Foundation EFF has been in front of this for
Speaker 15: a long time. You know, France just had a bill
Speaker 15: killed that was gonna basically force this. And what's brought
Speaker 15: this to the forefront again really is two things. A
Speaker 15: in the United Kingdom and this's got a lot of press.
Speaker 15: Apple basically said we won't give you a backdoor to
Speaker 15: access encrypt the data, We'll just get rid of the encryption.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 15: That unfortunately leaves anyone in the UK who's been relying
Speaker 15: on Apple's encryption in the cloud at risk. But I
Speaker 15: actually think it's better not only from raising awareness about
Speaker 15: this important issue, but also than to give the false
Speaker 15: sense that you're protected and possibly have back doors could
Speaker 15: be exploited. I also remind folks you know, last year
Speaker 15: this is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is
Speaker 15: the department of the Department of Homeland Security and focused
Speaker 15: on critical infrastructure local governments, that sort of thing, due
Speaker 15: to some of the things that happened last year, came
Speaker 15: out and basically encourage people to use into end encrypted
Speaker 15: apps like Signal. Now, if you're on an Apple phone
Speaker 15: and you're texting to another Apple user, you already have
Speaker 15: into end encryption, and to make us as simple as possible.
Speaker 15: Into end encryption means, you know, there's different forms of encryption.
Speaker 15: Encryption is a way to protect your data. Scrambles the
Speaker 15: data and without the proper keys, you can't unscramble it.
Speaker 15: And depending on the level of encryption, it's basically impossible
Speaker 15: to break as of today. That can be a story
Speaker 15: for another time. But what into end encryption. The idea
Speaker 15: is the data gets encrypted. So if you and I
Speaker 15: are sending text messages back and forth with our Apple phones,
Speaker 15: when I send you a text, it gets encrypted. It
Speaker 15: goes through Apple servers or the phone networked to you
Speaker 15: and then gets decrypted on your end. No neither Apple
Speaker 15: nor anyone along the way can read that message. I
Speaker 15: also want to point out to fodks because when you
Speaker 15: use an encrypted app like Signal, which would be my
Speaker 15: recommendation and by far the best, most well known, most
Speaker 15: trusted end encrypted messaging app outside of the native Apple stuff,
Speaker 15: you know, if I send you a message carried Jeff,
Speaker 15: it's encrypted, it gets to you. There's nothing that stops you,
Speaker 15: as the recipient, who can unencrypted, from doing whatever you
Speaker 15: want with that message. I think people get this false
Speaker 15: sense of security because they're using these encrypted apps that
Speaker 15: somehow their data can never be leaked. But again, once
Speaker 15: you have my message, you can do whatever you want
Speaker 15: with it's screenshotted, email it to someone else. So that's
Speaker 15: one thing I always like to point out, you know,
Speaker 15: don't be lulled into a sense of false security just
Speaker 15: because you have encryption.
Speaker 1: Well you know what, and here's I'm sorry to interrupt you, Dave.
Speaker 1: I do that sometimes. But here's an example of what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. In the news today. In the last
Speaker 1: couple of days is story in The Atlantic. A writer
Speaker 1: there said that he got included in a thread from
Speaker 1: National Security that said that we were going to be
Speaker 1: bombing the hoothy rebels in Yemen. And he claims this,
Speaker 1: but they were using signal into end encryption supposedly in
Speaker 1: these text threads, and yet of the writer from the
Speaker 1: Atlantic says he got included on the thread, and that's
Speaker 1: a security issue as well. I don't know how that
Speaker 1: would have happened. I don't know exactly if it did
Speaker 1: happen or if he made it up. But the point
Speaker 1: that you're making is don't get lulled into a false
Speaker 1: sense of security simply because you're using signal, even though
Speaker 1: it's the best way to encrypt stuff.
Speaker 15: Yeah right, yes, you know, yeah, any into end encryption
Speaker 15: is always good, but you can't misunderstand how it works
Speaker 15: and thus finds yourself flying in the wind, like perhaps
Speaker 15: the story you just mentioned, because you accidentally included the
Speaker 15: wrong person or something. But the bottom line with an
Speaker 15: encryption is it's a good thing. It protects your data,
Speaker 15: and as soon as you build in a back door,
Speaker 15: against encourage people to use it. Right as soon as
Speaker 15: you're building a back door, they have theiatics to call
Speaker 15: it responsible encryption, which basically means there'd be a back
Speaker 15: door they could exploit to decrypt encrypted data if they
Speaker 15: have a warrant. And you know, my answer to this
Speaker 15: has always been, go get a warrant and then compel
Speaker 15: the criminal or the alleged criminal to you know, turn
Speaker 15: over the keys whatever that means on one over the platform. Now,
Speaker 15: if they won't do it, like for example, if you
Speaker 15: have facial recognition set up and they can just hold
Speaker 15: up your phone to your face, you know, you can
Speaker 15: make funny faces and so forth and potentially defeat that.
Speaker 15: You know, if you have a pin setup and they
Speaker 15: can't unlock your phone, well they won't be able to
Speaker 15: decrypt it in less than until you have these back doors. Again,
Speaker 15: if you go look at what any encryption expert is saying,
Speaker 15: they'll tell you these back doors are a terrible idea. Yes,
Speaker 15: the positive upside is to you catch criminals. Could you
Speaker 15: prosecute criminals? Does it make it easier to do that?
Speaker 15: It does? But look around, Gary, Jeff, you and I
Speaker 15: have been talking about these topics on the radio for
Speaker 15: I don't know, maybe a decade, and how many times
Speaker 15: have we talked about breaches and leaks and unintended consequences,
Speaker 15: even when people are trying to do the right thing
Speaker 15: and trying to secure their systems. I think it is
Speaker 15: completely unrealistic and borderingline unreasonable to think that if there
Speaker 15: were a backdoor, it would not be China because unlimited
Speaker 15: resources y FBI claimed to fifty to one advantage in
Speaker 15: terms of packers versus defenders in the US. Do you
Speaker 15: think they're not going to figure out how to exploit
Speaker 15: that backdoor. I mean, it's just crazy. I understand why
Speaker 15: they want it, and I can understand the possible legitimate
Speaker 15: uses of it, but I think the risks are just
Speaker 15: too great. And yeah, we need everyone to be aware
Speaker 15: of this. We need everyone to be contacting their gladness
Speaker 15: lingers and say no to backdoors and encryption.
Speaker 1: All right, very good, I tell you what, We'll take
Speaker 1: a quick break and come back. And when we do
Speaker 1: kind of a a caution nary tail. With this study
Speaker 1: that's out about AI search engines and how reliable they
Speaker 1: are at finding correct sources, I think the answer will
Speaker 1: shock a lot of people who thought that AI was
Speaker 1: the end all be all, and it's you know, it's infallible.
Speaker 1: Not so much. Dave hatter with us on this nightcap
Speaker 1: in just a Moment again on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 17: Join us for the RNL carriers opening day Brocker.
Speaker 1: Our it Guru. The story says AI search engines cite
Speaker 1: incorrect sources and alarming sixty percent rate. This is according
Speaker 1: to a study that was out and if you can elaborate, David,
Speaker 1: I would appreciate that what does this mean for our
Speaker 1: use of AI to find information and find correct information
Speaker 1: and all the rest of that.
Speaker 15: So I found this at ours Technica and they refer
Speaker 15: to the actual study that was done by Columbia Journalism
Speaker 15: Review TOAST Center for Digital Journalism. Here's the bottom line.
Speaker 15: Apparently more and more people are using these generative AI
Speaker 15: tools drink chatch ept or aistroc or Copilot or Perplexity
Speaker 15: instead of search engines. So you know, they just go
Speaker 15: ask the question and I can tell you I use
Speaker 15: GROC all the time to answer question. Now. I always
Speaker 15: try to warn people, and I have since these tools
Speaker 15: really came to, you know, sort of public prominence. You
Speaker 15: have to understand hallucinations or sometimes called confabulations, which is
Speaker 15: these tools will just literally make things up. Okay, it
Speaker 15: will literally make things up because it's a statistical model
Speaker 15: that's producing this content and if you don't understand the
Speaker 15: idea of hallucinations, and in the early days they wouldn't
Speaker 15: even warn you. Now every one of these things has
Speaker 15: some kind of warning saying like, hey, you know this
Speaker 15: might not be correct, you should check your results, caveat
Speaker 15: into or sort of messaging on it. Basically, what this
Speaker 15: study found is people are increasingly turning to these things
Speaker 15: to search the news to find news rather than use
Speaker 15: a search engine. So rather than just get a link
Speaker 15: to some news article at WL seven hundred, WLW dot
Speaker 15: com or whatever, you're getting some kind of summary that
Speaker 15: then you know, ideally fits where it got that And
Speaker 15: they're saying that in many cases up to sixty percent
Speaker 15: of the citations are wrong. So you know, what does
Speaker 15: that mean for? Can you trust what it's telling you?
Speaker 15: And it gets back to this idea of hallucinations or
Speaker 15: confabulations that you know, even if you say, well, where
Speaker 15: did you get this? Is this right? Can you guarantee
Speaker 15: me this this is right? It aims to, you know,
Speaker 15: satisfy you, and will often continue to insist that something
Speaker 15: is correct when it's not. Again, the concept isn't new.
Speaker 15: This is just a really interesting study specifically around people
Speaker 15: turning to these to get news and finding out that
Speaker 15: in many cases the news news quote unquote it's giving
Speaker 15: you may not be correct because the citations are woefully
Speaker 15: wrong apparently. So you know, when people use these tools,
Speaker 15: buyer beware, And that's my best advice in general. There's
Speaker 15: a lot of value you can get out of these things,
Speaker 15: but be careful and understand they will essentially make things up.
Speaker 1: So AI really wants to please you, even if it
Speaker 1: means giving you bump information.
Speaker 15: Yes, So again, be very careful when you use these things.
Speaker 15: My advice is if you don't know anything about a topic,
Speaker 15: you should be very careful of sending what it tells
Speaker 15: you is true and bet that carefully. You know, I
Speaker 15: generally will only use these things when I'm already somewhat
Speaker 15: knowledgeable about something, so I can get some idea on
Speaker 15: my BIS indicator of is this just complete BS or
Speaker 15: is this probably correct, and then do a little vetting
Speaker 15: on top of it. But yeah, if you just use
Speaker 15: these things without any additional vetting, you are setting yourself
Speaker 15: up for disaster.
Speaker 1: All right, good advice, as always, mister hatter and finally
Speaker 1: on the docket tonight, something that's been just absolutely the
Speaker 1: bane of my existence even thinking about it. How many
Speaker 1: more are going cashless in our society? You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's widespread in many places like Sweden and Europe. But
Speaker 1: the digital, the digital only economy is rife with so
Speaker 1: many dangers for privacy and for protection of your finances
Speaker 1: than ever. To me, cash is still king that maybe
Speaker 1: the bartender talking in me, Dave, Probably it is a
Speaker 1: little bit, but I am there are certain places I
Speaker 1: won't go. I don't go to. You know, Red's opening
Speaker 1: day is Thursday. I won't go to the ballpark unless
Speaker 1: somebody else is buying because they don't accept cash. You know,
Speaker 1: somebody else's foot in the bill. That's fine, but I'm
Speaker 1: not supporting the cash less professional sports community that way.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I don't get it, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to participate in it or football game, and
Speaker 1: it's like that with a lot of colleges. Some high
Speaker 1: schools have even gone cash less for their their games,
Speaker 1: which is just utterly ridiculous to me. Uh that I
Speaker 1: got to whip out my Apple pay or my which
Speaker 1: I don't have or my my, uh my debit card
Speaker 1: just to buy a bag of popcorn. It's it's ridiculous
Speaker 1: to me. I won't shop, I won't go to a
Speaker 1: taste of velvet Belgium because they're famously cashless. And in
Speaker 1: Sweden it's not been the cashless society that they've been
Speaker 1: planning and grooming people for. Is not quite the utopia
Speaker 1: that everyone thought it was going to be, is it.
Speaker 15: It is not, And I'm happy to see that people
Speaker 15: are wising up to this now. I understand the allure
Speaker 15: of a cash to society, both for convenience to consumers
Speaker 15: and you know, for for reduce risks to businesses, reduce costs. Right,
Speaker 15: you get that pesky transaction fee on credit cards. If
Speaker 15: you handle the cash, it takes longer to get to
Speaker 15: the bank, people steal it, et cetera. So I understand
Speaker 15: all the arguments for why moving away from cash brings
Speaker 15: benefits to society. But I also very clearly understand, as
Speaker 15: a guy who spent thirty years building software and working
Speaker 15: in cybersecurity and so forth, the risks, and I'm glad
Speaker 15: to see other people.
Speaker 1: Are waking up to it.
Speaker 15: So the Financial Times has this excellent article headline back
Speaker 15: to cash. Life without money in your pocket is not
Speaker 15: the utopia Sweden hoped, and they point out here in
Speaker 15: the context of today war with Europe, unpredictability in US,
Speaker 15: and the fear of Russian hybrid attacks almost part of
Speaker 15: daily life in Sweden, life without cash is not providing
Speaker 15: proving the utopia perhaps once promised. And they then go
Speaker 15: on to say, in the name of civil defense, in November,
Speaker 15: the Defense Ministry send home a brochure entitled if crisis
Speaker 15: or war comes, advising people in Sweden to use cash
Speaker 15: regularly and keep a minimum of a week supplying various
Speaker 15: denominations to quote strengthen preparedness unquote, and they basically go
Speaker 15: on to say, you know, whether you're concerned about privacy,
Speaker 15: which you should be, like you said, Gary, Jeff, you're
Speaker 15: concerned about security. You know, could if you I didn't
Speaker 15: have access to any cash, could hackers potentially somehow interfere
Speaker 15: with the banking system and screw up everyone's accounts and
Speaker 15: you lose all your money. I mean it's within the
Speaker 15: realm of possibility. I'm not saying it's likely, but here
Speaker 15: you have And then I'm going to get to Norway
Speaker 15: in a second another government in Europe that has now
Speaker 15: started to walk this back, not to mention the control
Speaker 15: aspects of it. Right, at some future point the government
Speaker 15: whoever's in charge, pick whatever the administration you like, and
Speaker 15: then the ones you don't like and say, okay, well
Speaker 15: could they just one day say well, you just can't
Speaker 15: buy X because everything is digital now and you have
Speaker 15: no way to pay with cash. Now, that's one of
Speaker 15: the ways where something like bitcoin is helpful to cryptocurrency,
Speaker 15: but when encourage people to eat into that very carefully
Speaker 15: and stick only to well known cryptos like bitcoin. But
Speaker 15: I'm very happy to see people are wising up to
Speaker 15: this again, the idea of zero cash whatsoever, especially in
Speaker 15: the immature state we're at today with all the cyber
Speaker 15: attacks we see, the lack of security, etc. It's crazy
Speaker 15: to think that this is a good idea in my opinion,
Speaker 15: And apparently Norway has now come off of this as well.
Speaker 15: In fact, I can tell you Gary, Jeff, I'm going
Speaker 15: to be reaching out to my legislators in Kentucky on
Speaker 15: this topic. After sharing this article. It goes on to
Speaker 15: say Sweden is not the only Nordic country backpedaling on
Speaker 15: plans for cash to society last year Norway, which has
Speaker 15: a popular equivalent to Swish that's a digital cash in
Speaker 15: Sweden called Dipp's Mobile pay broad in legislation that means
Speaker 15: retailers can be fined or sanctioned if they will not
Speaker 15: accept cash. So they're now making it illegal to have
Speaker 15: digital only businesses that will not accept cash. I'm with him.
Speaker 15: The government has also recommended a citizens quote keep some
Speaker 15: cash on hand due to vulnerabilities of digital payment solutions
Speaker 15: for cyber attacks unquote. So yeah, I can tell you
Speaker 15: I will be reaching out to my legislators in Kentucky,
Speaker 15: sharing this article and asking them as nicely as possible
Speaker 15: to make it illegal for businesses in Kentucky to be
Speaker 15: digital only and not accept cash. And I'm hoping this
Speaker 15: the spreads. I'm glad we had a chance to talk
Speaker 15: about this tonight. I can tell you I will be
Speaker 15: beating the drum on this on social media and everywhere
Speaker 15: that I can, because we are and no way positioned
Speaker 15: and no way mature enough in our society to go
Speaker 15: completely digital for all the reasons they state in this article.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you said that about getting in touch
Speaker 1: with touch with the legislature in Kentucky because I also
Speaker 1: live in northern Kentucky and my next phone call is
Speaker 1: going to be to my friend Savannah Mattics and if
Speaker 1: I could yes, yeah.
Speaker 15: We're a run out of time. You know, I've shared
Speaker 15: this on X. I'll share this on all my social media.
Speaker 15: People can follow me on social media X in particular,
Speaker 15: read this article and then share it with your legislators
Speaker 15: in Ohio, share it with your legislators in Indiana. So
Speaker 15: highlight these key things like Norway actually has passed the
Speaker 15: law now, and let's see if we can't get people
Speaker 15: to wake up and get states if the federal government
Speaker 15: won't do it to say you can't do this in
Speaker 15: my state because the risk is just too great.
Speaker 14: At this point.

Speaker 1: The host of its Supernatural, a man with anessionic vision
Speaker 1: and message for America and the world, Sid Rawth, joins
Speaker 1: us once again for a few minutes tonight, h good evening, Sid,
Speaker 1: how are you?
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what I am so ex I am
Speaker 4: eighty four hercion and I have been following as a
Speaker 4: Jewish person that leaves in Jesus. I've been following the
Speaker 4: Messiah over fifty years, and I have to tell you
Speaker 4: it gets better every day every day.
Speaker 1: That's wonderful. What a great message for people who maybe
Speaker 1: don't don't understand that or have that vision yet for
Speaker 1: their lives and for eternity that you have said, wanted
Speaker 1: to get your impression. Just with a few minutes, we
Speaker 1: have and we only have a few minutes, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to get your impression and prediction for President Trump's
Speaker 1: second term. We're only a little bit more than two
Speaker 1: months in. What do you think is being done and
Speaker 1: how is it being guided by God?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I had an auditor in my office
Speaker 4: a few minutes ago that we do this every year
Speaker 4: to make sure everything is top notch, and he wanted
Speaker 4: to know what I thought of President Trump. And then
Speaker 4: he looked on my desk, and on my desk I
Speaker 4: have a statue of President Trump holding the American flag.
Speaker 4: I am thrilled. I mean, as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 4: I don't know how the US could have survived unless
Speaker 4: we had, for the first time in my lifetime, a
Speaker 4: businessman that's president of the United States. Now, if you
Speaker 4: ran a business, scary and you were losing money every month,
Speaker 4: you'd have to cut things. That's what he's doing.
Speaker 15: We're losing so much money, We've.
Speaker 4: Lost track of money. I think that if, and there's
Speaker 4: a big if, if the court system lets him do
Speaker 4: what he wants to do. Some he called it a
Speaker 4: golden age. I call it that too. I believe we'll
Speaker 4: enter a golden age. But there's some curveballs that'll come.
Speaker 4: And the curve balls has to do with war. The
Speaker 4: curveballs have to do with immigration. The curveballs have to
Speaker 4: do with I can't believe how many lawsuits he has
Speaker 4: ahead of them to try and straighten America out. And
Speaker 4: by the way, one more thing, the cabinet that he has.
Speaker 4: I'm as excited about that cabinet as I am about him.
Speaker 4: I think this country is really going to get us
Speaker 4: act together, and so therefore there's some curveballs coming. There's
Speaker 4: some hard times coming over the next four years. But
Speaker 4: I believe he's God's top choice for president, and he's
Speaker 4: my top choice for president. Does that make him perfect?
Speaker 4: Does it make him like a Hollywood actor in the role?
Speaker 4: We don't want an actor. We want a hard nosed
Speaker 4: businessman that can run the biggest business in the world.
Speaker 4: Two sites.
Speaker 1: It's such a dramatic shift from what we have had.
Speaker 1: You mentioned we've had these lives. I have time politicians
Speaker 1: in the role as chief executive officer instead of a businessman,
Speaker 1: instead of someone with experience in the real world and
Speaker 1: how things really work. It's just such a dramatic shift.
Speaker 1: I think that's the problem that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are having with it President Trump notwithstanding, and the way
Speaker 1: people have this terrible mental illness called Trump Derangement syndrome
Speaker 1: that shows itself on almost a daily basis in some
Speaker 1: places in the media and the like.
Speaker 4: Now, I personally haven't seen a great difference between Trump
Speaker 4: before he was shot and Trump now. However, I believe
Speaker 4: there is a dramatic difference. When anyone comes so close
Speaker 4: to their mortality that they're just human, that they could
Speaker 4: be gone in a second, it changes them. I think
Speaker 4: he's gone. I think I think because of the attempts
Speaker 4: on his life, he's going to be a far better
Speaker 4: president than people realized.
Speaker 1: Well, that is that is what brought you to Jesus
Speaker 1: in the first place. I was captivated by you telling
Speaker 1: your testimony, giving your story about how you were into
Speaker 1: the occult and spiritualism. And then you know, there was
Speaker 1: one day when you were afraid you wouldn't come back
Speaker 1: into your body and you would be lost for all eternity,
Speaker 1: and you came to Jesus that way. Isn't that basically
Speaker 1: in a nutshell your story said?
Speaker 4: Yeah, But there's there's a one thing I want to
Speaker 4: add all right. I went to bed so fearful. I
Speaker 4: didn't want to wake up, but.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to die.
Speaker 4: It wasn't that.
Speaker 1: I wanted to die. I wanted to live.
Speaker 4: But when I woke up, I actually, for the first
Speaker 4: time in my life, heard the auto the voice of God.
Speaker 4: But even more important than that, I felt the glory
Speaker 4: from God's throne. I have never been an alcoholic, I've
Speaker 4: never been into drugs, but I can tell you what
Speaker 4: I felt. There is no close second on this earth.
Speaker 4: I felt the literal presence of God. It was so peaceful, Gary,
Speaker 4: it was so wonderful that you could give me anything
Speaker 4: I wanted. And I'm human, there's things I want. You
Speaker 4: could give me anything I wanted and say I just
Speaker 4: have to give up that presence, and I'd laugh at you.
Speaker 4: It is the presence of God is what we were
Speaker 4: created for. And this side of heaven, I believe I
Speaker 4: felt such a great presence of God that it's there is.
Speaker 4: There are no English words to describe the peace that
Speaker 4: I felt, and that presence is available to every viewer
Speaker 4: that we have. I will tell you this though, and
Speaker 4: there's a prayer in the Bible, and the Bible says
Speaker 4: if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, so
Speaker 4: you have to say it out loud and mean it
Speaker 4: in your heart. Then Jesus and God the Father and
Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit will literally be in you. And according
Speaker 4: to this Jewish guy, Paul, who wrote most of the
Speaker 4: New Testament, he says, no matter what you think, because
Speaker 4: you're human and you've made lots of mistakes, that you
Speaker 4: become the righteousness of God. When that occurs, you know,
Speaker 4: when God looks at you, Gary, he doesn't think Gary,
Speaker 4: assuming Gary, he repented and besas he sayes Jesus how
Speaker 4: much says he loved Jesus, how much he loves Gary,
Speaker 4: how much he said, Roth.
Speaker 1: Praise God for you being on the show tonight. I've
Speaker 1: got to go right now, but I I thank you
Speaker 1: so much for the blessing. This is Jeff for Tri
Speaker 1: State Men's Health.
