WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.440 Ladies and gentlemen, all other carbon life forms. This is 2 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.240 Sunday Night Live with Gary Jeff Walker, an extra edition 3 00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.800 of the night Cap, which, of course when there's no baseball, 4 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.079 we do this occasionally on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.600 nine to twelve. Tonight, we're early. It's great to be 6 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.800 with you. The Reds won today and walk Off Fashion 7 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.239 took the series six out of seven series they have won. 8 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.160 Now as we get closer and closer to the All 9 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.759 Star break, heard the sad news that famous horse trainer 10 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.439 four time Kentucky Derby winner d Wayne Lucas passed yesterday, 11 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.799 as you may have heard in the news. So I 12 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.600 made some terrible joke which I will wait until there's 13 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.679 a little bit more time has passed. But in this 14 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.320 show tonight, at the bottom of the hour, Cornell West 15 00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.000 and Robert George. Cornell West is a very brilliant man. 16 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.000 He's a very far left guy. Robert George is a 17 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.120 right conservative and they've written a book together about everybody 18 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.840 getting along, which is you know, refreshing, I would say, 19 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.280 And we will have them both on the air. That's 20 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.239 the plan anyway, And at eight o'clock or eight oh five, 21 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:29.359 Scott Shara, who sadly tragically lost his daughter to what 22 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:37.280 he calls medical murder in Wisconsin. His daughter, Grace was 23 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:43.760 nineteen years old. She was diagnosed with COVID. But Scott 24 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.319 Serra says, and he's got all kinds of ament in facts, 25 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.040 there was just a trial against Ascension Health and Saint 26 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.920 Elizabeth in Wisconsin. We'll talk about the outcome of that 27 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:58.840 and what has been discovered since about what he says 28 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.120 is Grace's murder, and it's allowed him to start a 29 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.879 foundation in her name, and it's an awareness foundation for 30 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.159 people to know their rights when they go under the 31 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.439 knife or they're in standard of care hospitals, which are 32 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.280 all around the nation. They're all around here in Cincinnati. 33 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.680 Before we get to any of that, though. 34 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:24.039 Hey dude, don't make it bad. 35 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.400 Take a SIDI, then make it beat. 36 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.479 In August of nineteen sixty six, the Beatles, the most 37 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.120 popular band in the world to some they still are, 38 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.599 made their last concert appearance in Cincinnati at Crosley Field. 39 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.560 Some of you might have gone. In nineteen ninety six, 40 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.639 I was working for ninety two point five FM here 41 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.840 in town, the Fox, doing a show called Breakfast with 42 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.919 the Beatles, and the brilliant idea was had not by me, 43 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.639 by someone else, to do a thirtieth anniversary and getting 44 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.800 together people who had been at that concert for a reunion. 45 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.400 We did that, and a couple of years later we 46 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.840 moved the location from our studios to a place called 47 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.240 Hap's Irish Pub, which this year, as HAPs there on 48 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.240 Erie and Hyde Park, is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. The 49 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.680 man who's been the architect of those wonderful, wonderful decades 50 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.000 is with us in studio for this half hour. He 51 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.159 joins us now as close to the mic as you can, 52 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.759 Danny Thomas, Welcome to a very special This is great. 53 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.000 Danny was a guest a couple of times at Breakfast 54 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.719 with Beatles and hosted our Breakfast with the Beatles reunions 55 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:53.000 at Apps on Sunday mornings for over ten years. But 56 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.319 now it's been fifty years of Halps Irish Pub. How 57 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.560 you doing, man, doing great? Doing great? Great to be here, 58 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.800 all right? So there's always been a bar there as 59 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.439 far as as long as human beings have existed in 60 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.479 that area, there's always been a pub or a bar there, correct, correct? 61 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.879 Since after Prohibition. 62 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.160 I was told all right, So, but the last fifty 63 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.439 years you've been at the tiller. 64 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:19.759 Yeah. 65 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.600 My father started this in nineteen seventy five. He had 66 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.879 taken some trips to Ireland and fell in love with 67 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.959 Irish pubs, and I guess the neighborhood bar came up 68 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.879 for sale and he decided he wanted to have an 69 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.759 Irish pub and he and another guy opened it as 70 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.759 an Irish pub in nineteen seventy five. 71 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.120 And when did you take over? When was the torch passed? 72 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.639 He has been dead I think about twenty eight years, 73 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.000 so just a little bit longer than that, because I 74 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.680 started helping out. I had another job, and I eventually 75 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.519 took over, probably close to like twenty seven years ago. 76 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.240 What did you before that? Your other job. 77 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.959 At the time, I was working at New York Life. 78 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.480 I worked there for about nineteen years. 79 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.040 I believe. 80 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.079 Wow, I'm selling life insurance, et cetera. So yeah, So 81 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.399 Danny had this idea. He called me about a month 82 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.399 and a half couple months back and said, remember all 83 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.920 those wonderful Breakfast with the Beatles parties we did at 84 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.720 HAPs he said, I said yeah. He said, well, this 85 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.959 is our fiftieth anniversary of halps Irish Pub. What do 86 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.839 you think about maybe doing that Breakfast with the Beatles 87 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.160 reunion party again on a Sunday, And I said that 88 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.519 would be great. There'd be nothing else that I'd rather 89 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.720 be doing on a Sunday morning or a Sunday afternoon. 90 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.480 Didn't getting together with you guys again after all these years, 91 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.240 because it's been like since two thousand and eight. The 92 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.600 Fox changed hands in two thousand and nine. I went 93 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:01.360 from being a full time disc jockey and was doing 94 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.399 talk here on seven hundred WLW by that time as 95 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.920 well on the weekends. But I went from being a 96 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.279 full time radio guy to a part time talk show host. 97 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.439 And we'll see how much longer that lasts. 98 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:21.199 And so I'm going to relish the chance to get together, 99 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.199 and hopefully was because I've completely lost touch with a 100 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.480 lot of those Beatles breakfast club people over the years, 101 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.240 and it just happens, and it's probably as much my 102 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.959 fault as anybody else's that I haven't. But if there 103 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.680 are any of you listening who attended any of those 104 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.319 wonderful Breakfast with the Beatles reunion parties, and they were great. 105 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.079 Danny and his crew would get up early on a 106 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.959 Sunday morning, they'd finish the fix this incredible Irish breakfast 107 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.199 for us and the drinks would flow for those who 108 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.600 were into such things. 109 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.959 You know some of them are even they loved the 110 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.480 Bloody Mary's as I recall. 111 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.079 Yes, the Bloody Marys were great. You know. I still 112 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.000 will enjoy a Bailey's and coffee from time to time. 113 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.040 But it's a wonderful bar. If you've ever been to 114 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.879 HAPs Iris Pub, you know this already. If you haven't, 115 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.040 I would encourage you to get out there for the 116 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:29.480 fiftieth anniversary celebration going on this year, and more specifically 117 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.360 that Sunday in August will be extra special for me 118 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.680 and I am looking forward to it. And you were 119 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.279 telling me, Danny about people that still come up to you. 120 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.959 That's very true and talk about the places sometimes. One 121 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.759 time I was on a bus and someone overheard me 122 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.000 talking to somebody else and then they said, did I 123 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.560 hear you say hap Tires Pub? Someone sitting behind me, 124 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.279 and they asked me about the breakfast with the Beatles. 125 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.360 This has happened on numerous occasions and it's just amazing 126 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.000 to me and the kids. The parents should bring their children, 127 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.680 yea and now those children are, like, you know, in 128 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.120 their late thirties. 129 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.519 And their adults their parents in many cases. 130 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.079 So and there's so I've gotten stories from these adults saying, yeah, 131 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.120 when I was in high school, my parents drug me 132 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.000 to this thing and I didn't know what was going on. 133 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.879 We had a great time, so we really enjoyed it. 134 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:32.600 And the Beatles fanatic fans are very interesting and fun 135 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.720 to see and talk to, et cetera. You know what, 136 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.919 I remember the one the first time we did this. 137 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.120 I didn't know what we were getting into because you 138 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.840 and I, my wife Amy, and Nathan and Joe were 139 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.120 just on the radio with you. So but the first 140 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.200 time we did it, this one character had John Lennon 141 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.600 glasses on and the full Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Club 142 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.080 band sued on. If remember on the front cover he 143 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.519 was dressed exactly like that. I don't know if you 144 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.080 remember that. 145 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.360 Oh of course I remember that guy. Now my current wife, 146 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.600 who was I was married to then when we started 147 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.200 this party, Chris did now two point zero as I 148 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.480 called her, we'd get home from these things, and she goes, man, 149 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:24.360 those are some weird people. But I mean, she didn't 150 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.720 mean it in a bad way, just in a very 151 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:32.320 observant descriptive way, because we all have our little idiosyncrasies 152 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.159 and our weirdness from time to time. But they are 153 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.879 a very unusual lot Beatles fans, and I happen to 154 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.039 be one of them, so I guess I include myself 155 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.399 in that grouping to hear under the umbrella. 156 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.600 I remember the one story of a guy the one 157 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.240 time because people would sit there and exchange all their stories. 158 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.120 And he had gone to England on a trip and 159 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.679 he went into a bar and I don't know what 160 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.240 part of England, I don't know if it was in 161 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.840 Liverpool or where, but John Lynn and had been tossed 162 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.639 out of this bar. So his goal was and he succeeded. 163 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.879 He found this bar, went in there and drank quite 164 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.919 a bit, and he got himself tossed out of the 165 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.080 same bar that John Lennon did. 166 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.039 And he was quite proud of trying. 167 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.159 To replicate the Lenin legend of getting tossed out of 168 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.120 a pub in England. That's great. Well, John Lennon wound 169 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.159 up when he came to America, got tossed out of 170 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.360 a few clubs on his lost weekend back in the 171 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.279 early seventies in Los Angeles, as I recall. 172 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:28.759 But. 173 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:37.399 Just an incredible diversity of people that were into this. 174 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:45.159 The Beatles phenomenon is as much like the Elvis phenomenon 175 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.320 as anything else that we've experienced in the twentieth century 176 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.559 in this country for sure, worldwide, but especially in America. 177 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.279 When the Beatles came to America and they made that 178 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.480 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and it was watched 179 00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.919 by more people than it ever tuned into anything on 180 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.120 television on a Sunday night, and that was just the 181 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.559 beginning of how crazy it got. And the people that 182 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:16.360 came to those shows in Cincinnati at Crosley Field in 183 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.080 sixty six. Before that, I guess it was Cincinnati Gardens 184 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:26.320 in nineteen sixty four, they were as rabid as any 185 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.320 fans of anything that I've ever encountered. And thirty years on, 186 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.240 thirty and forty years later, they were still that way, 187 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:36.879 you know. 188 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.919 And I agree, and it's amazing that people are still 189 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.879 that enthusa But you know, to me, I like all 190 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.200 kinds of music. Okay, people always say what's your favorite 191 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:52.000 and a lot, but to me, their musicality, I mean, 192 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:57.240 it was it was music, and it was instrumental and 193 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:01.080 the way you know, it was done in a different category. 194 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.080 It's not like hard rock and roll. It's not like 195 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.960 the Stones or the other stuff. But it's pleasant music. 196 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.360 And I was, you know, as I get older and 197 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.799 sometimes I spend the time to think about it. I mean, 198 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:18.799 it's absolutely amazing and it's just fantastic music that'll stand 199 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.600 the test of time like any other you know, whether 200 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.759 it's classical music or anything else. 201 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.120 Well, and it was such a wide variety of different 202 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:32.159 kinds of music. They incorporated everything from classical to show 203 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.759 tunes to you know, any any branch of popular music 204 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.759 that had gone before them that they influenced, you know, 205 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:46.279 from Little Richard and Chuck Berry to Carl Perkins to 206 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.000 like I said, classical music, symphonic music. 207 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.159 It's absolutely amazing and still you know, I don't know how. 208 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.240 To describe it, but it's always pleasant to my ears 209 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:58.320 when I listened to it. 210 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.360 Yeah, it's amazing to me. 211 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:06.759 There's just so there's just so many fantastic songs, whereas 212 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.279 some groups will have a small handful of great songs. 213 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.240 It seems like and I know it's only because I'm 214 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:17.440 a fan mainly but still I just think it's just 215 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.279 amazing to this day. 216 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.320 So tell me about fifty years it HAPs and everything 217 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.720 you've seen there since you first your father and then 218 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:31.039 you your beautiful wife Ammy was instrumental in helping keeping 219 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:31.639 that going. 220 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.000 And she made all the food. That's so she fed everybody. Oh, 221 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.519 you know, it's amazing. That's a big question over that 222 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.360 period of time. I was sixteen years old when he 223 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.960 got Halps, but over the years he wanted an Irish bar. 224 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.320 That's still you know, we always had Irish music a lot. 225 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.159 He started all that, and I just tried to perpetuate it. 226 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.320 So we've been involved, like I said, with the Irish crowd. 227 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.159 You know, we used to have people that lived in 228 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.080 town their mail that was written to them, say somebody 229 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.120 moved to Cincinnati, and they would have a piece of 230 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.879 mail they wanted to mail, and they didn't have the 231 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:11.720 person's address. 232 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.639 They would mail it to HAPs. 233 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.879 And we get mail and say, who's this And my 234 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.519 father say, oh, that guy comes in. I guess it's 235 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.279 from relatives someplace in Ireland. I mean that's the kind 236 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.320 of stuff. And then you know, we always tried to 237 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.600 perpetuate that, like we show a lot of international sports. 238 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.759 Rugby's big in Ireland and all that. We show a 239 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:38.159 lot of rugby, and it's just it's a neighborhood bar pub, 240 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.879 just like you'd find in Ireland. And one of the 241 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.559 biggest compliments to my father, I think is that you 242 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:48.399 have Irish people over here on their holidays. And when 243 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.000 an Irish person comes in to Apps and says this 244 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.200 makes me feel like I'm in a pub at home, 245 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.240 then I think my dad did a fantastic job, and 246 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.320 this is just something I wanted to perpetuate. 247 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:05.480 Guys at your house every year had this wonderful New 248 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.720 Year's Day party, and I got to meet so many 249 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:15.879 people who would come from Ireland and stay at your 250 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.399 house or were there visiting at the party. 251 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:19.159 That's true. 252 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.519 We've had I know, Eugena Gorman came over with us son, 253 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.879 another couple that we were involved with rugby, they were 254 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.480 there during the holidays, and another couple I can think 255 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.519 of that they were there. And it was always funny, 256 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.480 you know, it was fun to have such a variety 257 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:39.159 of people at our New Year's Day party. And but 258 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.639 you're right, we always we consistently had friends come over 259 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:43.600 and visit us. 260 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:48.279 So just let let's get down to the brass tacks 261 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.279 of where people can find HAPs if they haven't by 262 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.279 this time, and if they haven't by this time, what's 263 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.279 wrong with Youhapps is located where it's at. 264 00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.039 Thirty five ten Eriie Avenue. 265 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.159 It's in East Park. It's about two miles east of 266 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.679 Hyde Park Square. 267 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.639 And there is nothing else like HAPs. You guys still 268 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.519 have the outdoor patio on the back, have. 269 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.200 The outdoor patio on back, have tables in front, and 270 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.120 it's not it's just a good old neighborhood Irish pub 271 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.240 and you know, there's a couple of rooms there. 272 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:25.399 And what's Saint Patrick's day, Like Danny, it's still crazy. 273 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.240 Is still crazy, and we open up the parking lot 274 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:34.120 and inside and you know, if it's seventy degrees just 275 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.879 I'm not talking about inside the bar, Clearly in the 276 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.480 outside there's at least you know, a few hundred people 277 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.879 in the parking lot easily, I'm not exaggerating. And the 278 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.840 inside's packed. Amy's always been in charge. We have Irish 279 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.320 stew that she's really perfected this recipe over the year's 280 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.159 corn beef and cabbage corn beef sandwiches. So we serve 281 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.200 a lot of food because we're not a restaurant, so 282 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.879 on the special occasions we serve food in a traditional 283 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.119 Irish breakfast. We always serve on Saint Patrick's Day morning, 284 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.319 and I'll tell you when the people love that so much. 285 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.839 When COVID hit and you weren't allowed to be open, 286 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:18.160 and I recall this quite vividly, that are the governor 287 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:23.319 of Ohio closed all the bars three days before Saint 288 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.319 Patrick's I remember, and I we were very upset and 289 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.960 people were calling, going, well what about the Irish breakfast? 290 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.799 And we had already purchased a lot of it, so 291 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.880 we weren't open, but we still cooked an Irish breakfast 292 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.279 and did like about fifty carry out Irish breakfast. That's great, 293 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.680 it was because so people liked it and because it 294 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.759 was authentic. 295 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.119 And all that sice. I still want to find a 296 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:51.160 good piece of blood sausage. Danny and I both have 297 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.519 in the ensuing years celebrated our sixty fourth birthdays. Mine 298 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.640 was just last December, and so I figured this would 299 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.200 be a fitting way to finish out. And I will 300 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:03.519 let you know that on my Saturday Morning show, when 301 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.599 we pick an exact day, we think it's going to 302 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:09.839 be the third Sunday in August when we recreate recreate 303 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.720 the Breakfast with the Beatles' Anniversary party ad APS and 304 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.960 I can't wait. Man, it's gonna be good. 305 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.359 So we're that so was pretty much for sure. We're 306 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.319 going to do it the third Sunday in August like 307 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.480 we used to. We'll start around noon. 308 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:29.279 Okay, very good, can't wait, Danny, thank you, brother, Thank you. 309 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.680 Sunday Night Live Extra Edition Nightcap continues Corneill West and 310 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:35.279 Robert George coming up after. 311 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:39.440 The news and I got all the losing my head 312 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.240 many years from now. 313 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.960 Why start your morning with me Tom Brenneman, Well, listen up. 314 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.200 Tom gives you the latest news, weather, traffic, and more, 315 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.000 while leaving a pleasant pepper mincent. 316 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:58.680 The information you need and a peppery fresh set. Now 317 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.839 that's big league show. 318 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.559 Start your day with Tom Brennanman tomorrow morning at five 319 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.559 am on seven hundred WLW. 320 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.920 Of course they're not answering their phones, so we will 321 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:18.559 continue to try and we'll see what goes down with this. 322 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.480 The reason I wanted to have them on is in 323 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:27.200 the middle of all of this controversy about what's been 324 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:32.079 happening at some of our finer institutions of higher education, 325 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:38.400 like Harvard and Columbia and pan and these other places 326 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.480 that receive federal funds, which I still can't grasp. Why 327 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.200 if you're a private institution like Harvard or Columbia, why 328 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.519 you receive federal funds in the first place, Especially with 329 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:59.200 the enormous billions of dollars those universities receive in endowments 330 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.480 from their alumni and from donors, Why are they relying 331 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:06.680 on federal money in the first place. I was so 332 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:12.799 happy when President Trump said, listen, you get this anti American, 333 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.640 anti free speech off of your campuses, and we'll think 334 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.400 about continuing to have the taxpayers subsidize you in the 335 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:29.759 way that they are. Well. Academics like Cornell West, Doctor 336 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.359 Cornell West, and a man named Robert George got together 337 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.039 and decided that they were going to attempt to bridge 338 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:42.039 the gap between left and right because they're diametrically opposed 339 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.440 ends of the spectrum. I mean, you don't get much 340 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.079 farther west than Cornell West, or left than Cornell West, 341 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:53.119 a guy who has consistently called for things like reparations 342 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:57.400 for descendants of slaves and Robert George is a pretty 343 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:04.599 conservative guy. But you don't see that those two sides 344 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:10.440 coming together and finding points of commonality that often. And 345 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.240 you might think, and you may be one of those 346 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.200 people who's on one side or the other side of 347 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:21.079 the ideology and political argument, and you may not see 348 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:27.279 that there's any common ground. When we're all human, we 349 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:33.440 all basically innately want similar things. We want to be 350 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.000 able to live in peace, we want to be able 351 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:43.960 to pursue whatever it is that we love. Most people 352 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.400 are not that militant. When you see the rainbow and 353 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:52.839 purple haired people, and they're not all rainbow haired and 354 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.640 purple haired, but you see some of the people that 355 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.799 are on the fringes of society, and they're set fires 356 00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.559 not just to American flags, but to institutions, to police stations, 357 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.240 to federal courthouses, to cars in the middle of the street, 358 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.519 and calling it mostly peaceful protests. I'm sorry, that's not 359 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.400 mostly peaceful. It's not peaceful at all, and it's not 360 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.279 protected by the First Amendment. You don't have a right 361 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:31.599 to vandalize or commit violence against someone you disagree with 362 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:36.599 or an institution that you disagree with. That's not the 363 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:42.960 American way, and for people to hide behind the First 364 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:50.519 Amendment in that fashion, it just doesn't It doesn't wash. 365 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.920 And there are certain things that we cannot allow in 366 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.759 a constitutional republic. And those ANTIFA protests that taking over 367 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.880 an entire section of downtown like they did with Seattle Chop, 368 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.359 remember Chop, Remember the Summer of Love? They keep calling 369 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.599 it a twenty twenty in the wake of the George 370 00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:14.720 Floyd incident and the death of George Floyd while in 371 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.839 police custody, and so many other things that led up 372 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:22.599 to it. You go all the way back to Ferguson, 373 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:28.880 Missouri and the kid who tried to grab the cops 374 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:33.440 gun and wound up dying. The hands up, don't shoot 375 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:38.559 was a mirage. It wasn't real. That didn't happen, But 376 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.480 that false narrative was told over and over again and 377 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:47.160 amplified by some members of the media to the point 378 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:53.079 and then you get You've got these paid protesters on 379 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:57.599 campuses that aren't grassroots at all. It's not just a 380 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.759 ground swell of students who decided to buy eight hundred 381 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.839 dollars tents and take over entire swaths of university campuses, 382 00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.400 or to take over a library, or to hold security 383 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:20.279 guards hostage like they did at Columbia, and the anti 384 00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:24.079 ice protests we've seen, the anti Israel protests that we've 385 00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:27.359 seen around the country in the last couple of years. 386 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:32.319 These are being paid for by outside sources who want 387 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.559 to disrupt our society, who want to cause chaos, who 388 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:39.279 want to bring down Western culture. It's not about freedom 389 00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:44.960 of speech. In fact, it is the antithesis. It's the 390 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:49.000 exact opposite of freedom of speech when you're not allowing 391 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:55.000 Jewish students to go to class, when you're not allowing 392 00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:03.400 people to speak their minds freely because you disagree with them. 393 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:08.319 But I digress. There is a place where we should 394 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:15.279 all meet and agree that some things shouldn't be permissible, 395 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:20.000 and that we have more in common as human beings 396 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.599 than we have differences whether you're a Republican or a Democrat. 397 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.279 That being said, Today's Democrat party that saw the election 398 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.440 of this open he calls himself a socialist, but basically 399 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.920 a communist or a Marxist, take your pick, whichever one 400 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.079 you like, and under the banner of the Democrat Party 401 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:51.720
