1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Edition of Sunday Night Line for me Garry jump Walker,

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess in for Mike Allen Junior. This is his

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>regular slot on a Sunday evening. It's a pleasure to

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>be with you anytime I get the chance. I'm jomping

5
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 1>at the bid, believe me, and I hope it's been

6
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>as great a day for you as it has been

7
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>for me. I got to spend a good couple of

8
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 1>hours in how now Brown County with my friends at

9
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Brookies Saloon there in Ripley, playing music with my good

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 1>friend Chris Cohens. We've done this now for twenty years

11
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>together on and off at different places around town, and

12
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>today we were stopping at Brookies on the Farewell tour

13
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was a fantastic show. Love to see the

14
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>folks out there, had a great time, a great crowd

15
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 1>of people, just good people, you know, just good Downder,

16
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 1>the Reds good at the broom work this weekend over

17
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona Diamondback swept the series with another win today

18
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and now of even their record once again at five

19
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>hundred for the season. As Austin Nolmore mentioned, still seven

20
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half games out of first four and a

21
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>half games out of a wild card position. But nonetheless

22
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>they're back to break even, where they've been so many

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>times already this season. I predicted at the beginning of

24
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the season that they would break even on the year

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>at eighty one and eighty one, and so far they

26
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>are upholding my prediction. There's a lot going on. There's

27
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 1>always a lot going on. It's kind of a stupid

28
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>thing to say there's a lot going on. And one

29
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>of the things that is going on is the continued

30
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 1>spying by the Communist Chinese Party. Of course, last week

31
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>we had two people arrested for agro terror, trying to

32
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>smuggle fungus into our country to infect American crops. The

33
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Communist Chinese Party has a long plan, a long term plan,

34
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a year plan, or at least one hundred year plan,

35
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and we're kind of late to the.

36
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Party in many ways.

37
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Also significant this weekend the ice protest in Los Angeles

38
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>that have led our President Donald Trump to send the

39
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>National Guard to California National Guard out to LA to

40
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>defend federal buildings and law enforcement ICE officials who are

41
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>simply obeying, upholding the law, doing their job, doing exactly

42
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 1>what President Trump has commissioned them to do, which is

43
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>follow the law and get illegal criminals out of our country.

44
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>But there is this protest and who's funding it and

45
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>why they're funding it, and who the people are who

46
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>are in many cases assaulting law enforcement officials, which, by

47
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the way, is not expression of freedom of speech. Is

48
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>not defending your First Amendment right when you are trying

49
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>to breach federal buildings, when you are assaulting federal law

50
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 1>enforcement or local law enforcement, that's not First Amendment stuff.

51
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>To talk about all that and more. Is our first

52
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>guest tonight. He is Douglas Ernest. He's a retired captain,

53
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>but a lot more than that, and has a book

54
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 1>out we've talked once or twice before, called The Spirit

55
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 1>of a True Patriot, The Inspiring Story of Retired Captain

56
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Douglas j Ernest, and he joins us on the telephone

57
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>right now for the next few minutes. Doug Arnest, good

58
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>evening and welcome to seven hundred WLW.

59
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>How are you, sir.

60
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing great, Gary. It's a pleasure to be with

61
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 3>you and your listeners this evening.

62
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 1>So how many years were you in the military and

63
00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>serving our country.

64
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I was in for twenty years.

65
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 4>I served as an enlisted infantrymen and later became an

66
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 4>armor officer in the US Army. All in total, I

67
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 4>did about twenty years of service before I retired back

68
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 4>around seven eighth nine.

69
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Somewhere in that era, I had.

70
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 4>Pulled the plug and gone into the full civilian workforce

71
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 4>full time.

72
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>You're an Operation Desert Storm, and thank you for everything

73
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>you've done for our country and continue to do through

74
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>your work. And you have pretty amazing story too, because

75
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 1>you fell in love with corvettes at a certain point,

76
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>as many people have, and you thought, you know, more

77
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>people ought to experience how cool this is riding around

78
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in a corvette with the top down. And after you retired,

79
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 1>you decided, you know, maybe I'll just go to work

80
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 1>at car dealership because this turns me on so much.

81
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And you were a salesperson, and then you thought you'd

82
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>take that to the next level. Tell me how you

83
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>did that taking it to the next level.

84
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, great crushing, Gary. Well, it started out when I

85
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 4>was a kid, about ten eleven years old. My uncle Bob,

86
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 4>who was a Vietnam vetterner and had the seventy nine

87
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 4>sober On Red at Lady two four speed coop and

88
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 4>he showed up one day at my grandma's house in

89
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 4>this corvette, and back then they only cost about ten

90
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 4>thousand bucks. I remember everybody in my family thought how

91
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 4>great it was that my uncle had come back from

92
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 4>serving his country and he had saved all his.

93
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 3>Money and bought a corvette.

94
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 4>And that just left a major impression on my mind

95
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 4>and kept help me catapult myself into what I wanted

96
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 4>to do with my life.

97
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 3>So I joined the military at the.

98
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 4>Age of seventeen, and when I was in the military,

99
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 4>I started tinkering with corvettes. I started playing with them,

100
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 4>taking them apart, putting them together, selling them on the side,

101
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 4>selling parts, just because I was very passionate about the

102
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 4>car and I actually enjoyed it something I did most

103
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 4>of my free time. I spent as a hobbyist playing

104
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 4>with these cars. And then when I was in the military,

105
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 4>I actually started my business in ninety four or ninety

106
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 4>five while I was serving simultaneously in the military. Because

107
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 4>I did it as a side, I did it as

108
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 4>my free time. I always rented a building, kept my parts,

109
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.000
<v Speaker 4>kept my shop, kept everything. They're very small, very very humble,

110
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 4>three four or five cars, and over time it just

111
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 4>grew and but you know, I've been so fortunate and

112
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 4>blessed by the Lord that I've put my mission in

113
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.199
<v Speaker 4>life is to serve my customer, Serve my family, serve

114
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 4>my community, do a plesoura of different things. But my

115
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 4>most important thing was I was doing something I love,

116
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 4>I enjoyed, and I believe that people do do things

117
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 4>in life that they love and enjoy. You can be

118
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 4>successful at it, especially when you get up and go

119
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 4>to work every day. It's not work if you enjoy it.

120
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you I've been in radio now for forty

121
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>five years as of this month, somewhere on the air

122
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>consistently since June first of nineteen eighty and You're right,

123
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>it's never been like work for me doing this, talking

124
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 1>to people, play music, whatever it was. So I can

125
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>absolutely concur with that passion and that philosophy on life.

126
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 1>So let's get down to some issues here. We're going

127
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the Chinese spies who are here in

128
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>droves actually in this country. They're hiding in plain sight

129
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>in many places in our universities and our research labs

130
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>as scientists. As the woman was who was arrested last

131
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 1>week for smuggling a crop killing fungus into the United

132
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>States from China. Her cohort also was found. But how

133
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 1>many more of these are there out there?

134
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Doug?

135
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is this is insane because we're being

136
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 1>attacked from all kinds of different angles. And you consider

137
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 1>that the Chinese, who in many cases before for at

138
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 1>least the Trump administration, we're buying up great swaths of

139
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 1>American farmland, especially near military bases. And now you find

140
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that they're trying to mess with us again our food

141
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 1>supply by smuggling dangerous fungus into this country and again

142
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>doing it basically in plain sight.

143
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 4>You know, great question, and we see this as the

144
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 4>agricultural terrorism has increased over the last well three to

145
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 4>four years. It's actually hyper increased since the Biden administration

146
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 4>took over and they started doing these student visas and

147
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 4>these B one twenty one visas where they allow to

148
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.360
<v Speaker 4>plafore different people to come into this country illegally and legally.

149
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 4>And when these people come into our country, these people

150
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 4>are coming through Customers Border Patrol, they're very confident that

151
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 4>they can get these bioterrorism weapons through to us. Now,

152
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 4>these just aren't you.

153
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Know, something that can make somebody sick.

154
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 4>These are things that if you read the articles that

155
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 4>were put out on the news of the last few days,

156
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.440
<v Speaker 4>this is stuff that kills the fetuses and women. It

157
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 4>will cause a new baby feet is to explode inside.

158
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 3>The woman's body.

159
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 4>This is some pretty nasty stuff. And this is stuff

160
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 4>that's created in the lab in Wuhan. It's something that's

161
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 4>created overseas that these China nationals have created in.

162
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 3>Order to destroy our country.

163
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's a way that they conduct their warfare

164
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 4>from secret terrorism. Now, if there's something another counterpart to that,

165
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 4>how many how many US operatives do we have in China?

166
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 4>Would I would argue you have a handful of them

167
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 4>because you can't get into China. If you try to

168
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 4>cross into China illegally, you'll get shot and killed. But

169
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 4>for the last four years to come to our country,

170
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 4>that left the door wide open. They gave you a

171
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 4>VVA and I'll let you come right across the river.

172
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.559
<v Speaker 4>They gave you a cell phone, they gave you a stipend.

173
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 4>So it's been a sad state of affairs for the

174
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 4>last four years in our country. But the good thing

175
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 4>is that the Trump administration is taking a wholehearted approach

176
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 4>to be able to ring in the realms of these

177
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 4>terroristic cells and be able to bring us back to

178
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 4>what we would consider as a Americans normalcy. And right now,

179
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 4>they did catch these perpetrators. It's not like they got

180
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 4>in like there's thousands out there, but they are.

181
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Going to catch it.

182
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 4>And these investigators will work hard and diligently to find

183
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 4>these networks, cramp down, find out where they come from, and.

184
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 3>Make sure it doesn't happen again.

185
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 4>And there's a lot of work going on behind the

186
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 4>scenes that the people don't see that is going to

187
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 4>make it harder to get these these products into our

188
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 4>country that can destroy Americans' lives.

189
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think this illustrates too Douglas, why it's so

190
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>important that the President has re imposed these travel bands

191
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>on these countries that we know are not only hostile

192
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>towards us, but contain all kinds of unvetted people who

193
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>have been heretofore allowed into our country, and imposing further

194
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>travel restrictions on people coming in from communists China. It's

195
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 1>very important that we do this and get ahead of

196
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>the game, and when we've been behind the eight ball

197
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>for so long because of what the Biden ad Ministry

198
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>did or didn't do to protect this nation. And don't

199
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>you think that the travel bans and the restrictions are

200
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>going to help a lot as we try and get

201
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 1>a handle on this.

202
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 3>The travel ban is an absolutely necessary.

203
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 4>Thing that needed to be done by the Trump administration

204
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.679
<v Speaker 4>to again real in the realms of what's going on

205
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 4>with the open just wide open, full frottle to the metal,

206
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 4>to to let people come into this country. You can

207
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 4>see what that brought us with the Egyptian national that

208
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 4>couldn't get a gun because he didn't have the permission

209
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and he was out, he was out of turn for

210
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 4>his temporary visa, so he couldn't get a weapon. He

211
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 4>couldn't go buy a weapon, so he decided to use

212
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 4>a frame flower to destroy people and to destroy American lives.

213
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 3>So absolutely this is something that has to be done.

214
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 4>And the Trump administration has been doing a fantastic job

215
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 4>since they took over to number one close the border.

216
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 4>Border crossings illegally are down about ninety seven percent. They'd

217
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 4>done a great job of throwing the border, increasing the

218
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 4>funding and the personnel for Customs border patrol, and also

219
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 4>just clamping down and attempting to clamp down. Now there's

220
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 4>another thing that is the paradox of this, as we

221
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 4>have these American judges who, at every which way we turn,

222
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 4>we see on the legacy media that they are turning

223
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 4>the orders of the president around and attempting to contradict

224
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 4>what the President of the United States does and acted

225
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.360
<v Speaker 4>these orders to keep our citizens safe.

226
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.919
<v Speaker 3>So it's going to be a tug of war.

227
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 4>It's going to be this back and forth, this tension

228
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 4>between the Trump administration and these judges, these small judges

229
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 4>and these small jurisdictions that are trying to override the

230
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 4>policy of the presidency.

231
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, you mentioned the flame throwing terrorists from Colorado. The

232
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Egyptian national who has now been arrested and will face

233
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>trial and his family being deported or they're making the

234
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>effort anyway, couldn't get a gun because of his status,

235
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.039
<v Speaker 1>but we couldn't get him out of the country.

236
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>He was here.

237
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Illegally, and there are so many others that are here illegally,

238
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and there is a contingent of people in this country.

239
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that they're unpatriotic. I don't know if

240
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>they care. I don't know if they're just misguided or

241
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>misinformed who are protesting the efforts of President Trump, of

242
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Immigration Ice and federal law enforcement officials to round them

243
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>up and get them out of here, because the first

244
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 1>thing they did when they entered this country or stayed

245
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>or overstayed their visa was break the law. And now

246
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>we find out that many of them are involved in rape,

247
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 1>in child pornography, in murder, and of course the attempted

248
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>murder of all those people in Boulder last week at

249
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 1>the protest by people who were trying to get the

250
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 1>hostages out of Hamas. What is the mentality you think

251
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>of those people is there? Is it brainwashing, is it misinformation?

252
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Or are they part of a broader plan to divide

253
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and cause chaos here in the United States?

254
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>What's your view?

255
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 4>You know, very that's a great question, And over the

256
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.200
<v Speaker 4>last three years, I've done hundreds of these interviews, and

257
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.679
<v Speaker 4>that's a very common question. Now, just to give you

258
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 4>a quick backdrop, when I grew up, my grandfather on

259
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 4>one side was a Democrat and my grandfather on the

260
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.759
<v Speaker 4>other side was a Republican, So I was able to

261
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 4>see both sides of the spectrum, and my grandfather's Democratic

262
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 4>party was quite different than what we see with the

263
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Democratic Party, you.

264
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Know, JFK and so exactly.

265
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 4>So I've been able to grow up and see both sides.

266
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 4>And as a kid, I didn't know which way to go.

267
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know whether which side to lean to because

268
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 4>I was more.

269
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Interested in chasing, chasing, you know, chasing.

270
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 4>My dream and you know, opening up a Corvette dealership

271
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 4>and drinking beer all the time. That I didn't really

272
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 4>become involved in politics until my late forties, early fifties,

273
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 4>when I saw what was happening to my country in

274
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.120
<v Speaker 4>the last three to four years under the Biden administration,

275
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 4>when I decided to you know, not keep my mouth

276
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 4>shutting more and take the stand and the way I

277
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 4>take my standards through my street speech into you know,

278
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 4>and talk on these radio shows and express my views

279
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 4>that are good for my country. But I would think,

280
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 4>you know, when I had this discussion with people over

281
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 4>the years, you know, I think it starts with the money.

282
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.960
<v Speaker 4>And you know, if you if you lean left, you

283
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 4>and you side with the Democrat, you know.

284
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 3>There's profit in that. There's a lot of money in that.

285
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 4>And when I was in military training school for lieutenant

286
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 4>school back in ninety six and Fort Knox, we had

287
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:32.240
<v Speaker 4>this great military professor who was teaching us about political idealologies,

288
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 4>and he put it really simple for me back in

289
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 4>ninety six ninety seven era, and he said, the Republicans

290
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:42.480
<v Speaker 4>are a group of people that believe that you are

291
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 4>in control of your own destiny, that you don't have

292
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 4>the right to implict your views and implict.

293
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 3>Your your ideologies on other people's lives.

294
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.759
<v Speaker 4>Everybody has a right to be free and make your

295
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 4>own decision, and you can't control other people's environment. Well,

296
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 4>the democratic view or the liberal view is the opposite.

297
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 4>They believe that you cannot control yourself and within that

298
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.879
<v Speaker 4>you have to control.

299
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Everybody else from the outside.

300
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.240
<v Speaker 4>So they're trying to just control things that are usually

301
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 4>from you know, a common sense perspective, something that would

302
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.600
<v Speaker 4>be uncontrollable.

303
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 3>And you know, we we do need both parties.

304
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 4>You can't have one party, otherwise our country would be diminished.

305
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 4>And we are the longest running countries, the greatest nation

306
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 4>and the planet. And you'll realize that once you travel

307
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.759
<v Speaker 4>the world and serve in other nations and see how

308
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 4>good we got and how great we got in this country.

309
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.399
<v Speaker 4>Why we've been around for almost, you know, two hundred

310
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 4>and fifty years. So I would think number one is

311
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 4>the money. Number two it's the teaching of the political

312
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 4>idealology that a got gaged. It's in just brought to

313
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.440
<v Speaker 4>you through cultural reasoning and people bring it with them.

314
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 4>And then number three it's once you're in and you

315
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 4>get the inertial forces, it's hard to go back once

316
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.840
<v Speaker 4>you start taking on you know, Democratic voder you know,

317
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 4>these judges start taking money from the Democratic Party.

318
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, they get a lot of money.

319
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.720
<v Speaker 4>They get a lot of money, and there's billions of

320
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 4>dollars raised to support these groups, and a lot of

321
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 4>that money comes from overseas and for people that you

322
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't want to be investing into our elections and to

323
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 4>our government bodies. So I think it's that tryad of

324
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 4>where these these these what you would call, you know,

325
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 4>crazy idealolities and people that would you know, and fight

326
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 4>to the death and harm our fellow American citizens and

327
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 4>put your fellow brothers and sisters that are our neighbors

328
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 4>ahead of other people that come to this country to

329
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.720
<v Speaker 4>hurt us and come to this country illegally and come

330
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 4>to this country to harm our citizens. It just doesn't

331
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 4>make common sense. But you know, I've heard that, you know,

332
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.519
<v Speaker 4>years ago. If you tell a lie enough, sooner or later,

333
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 4>people are going to start to believe it.

334
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, I agree with you, Douglassers, that it's important to

335
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>have more than one party, because we see what a

336
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.119
<v Speaker 1>one party system does in states like California, in Illinois,

337
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 1>in New York, in Massachusetts, and just tick off all

338
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of the blue states in this country that are essentially

339
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:01.079
<v Speaker 1>one party states. But is it you know, the thing is,

340
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.480
<v Speaker 1>do we want the second party to be the communist party?

341
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Because that's the way it looks right now because of

342
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 1>what's happened to the Democrat Party.

343
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the Democratic Party is on it. They're in shambles.

344
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:15.519
<v Speaker 4>If you look at that if you look at that

345
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 4>map from November when President Trump wung the election, it

346
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 4>was bright.

347
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Red all the way across. Oh yeah, on the left

348
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.359
<v Speaker 3>and right.

349
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

350
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>If you go, if you go county, if you go

351
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 1>county by county, you're absolutely correct. Listen, I'm sorry our

352
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.480
<v Speaker 1>time's up, but I appreciate your time so much. The

353
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.079
<v Speaker 1>spirit of a true patriot. Douglas Ernest, thank you again

354

<v Speaker 3>It was my pleasure, Geary, take care and thank you.

357
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 4>For agadud to keep putting out the message for our country,

358
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.720
<v Speaker 4>for a party and to keep America safe and helped

359
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.319
<v Speaker 4>America come up with another.

360
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 3>Two hundred and fifty years.

361
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>God bless you, Ryan Wood, you too.

362
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Sir Ryan Wood on the grooming of America

363
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>as it continues, Lady Maga Usa, right after the news.

364
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I started talking to Jeez on nightcaps probably six seven

365
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Maybe our first conversation was way back then

366
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. He is a I don't

367
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 1>know what he's doing currently. He is a former performer, entertainer.

368
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 1>He did a mean Britney Spears at one point. I

369
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 1>know that I've seen the photos, and he is very

370
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 1>strongly opinionated about the continued efforts to groom young children

371
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>into lifestyles that they shouldn't be exposed to a certainly

372
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 1>at the ages of two to five years old, much

373
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>less any time before you know, before adolescence at the

374
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 1>very very earliest. And to talk about what's continuing to

375
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 1>go on in this country even after the election of

376
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and the the end of the woke movement movement,

377
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Ryan would Lady Maga USA formerly how are you doing?

378
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Ryan?

379
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Hello?

380
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 4>Gary.

381
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh, it's such an honor to talk to you. I'm

382
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 5>so grateful to have this opportunity. And yeah, like you said,

383
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm a drag performer. I play the character

384
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 5>of Lady Maga to troll the left and I've had

385
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.759
<v Speaker 5>a lot of fun. But the LGBTQ they took drag

386
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 5>and for some reason, they decided to take their most

387
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.720
<v Speaker 5>sexual performances and do it in front of children like

388
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 5>my nieces and nephews, and the entire focus of the

389
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.759
<v Speaker 5>LGBTQ movement, which I had nothing to do with me

390
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 5>as a gay dude. I don't know what the hell

391
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 5>they represent anymore. But everything they do is child focused

392
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 5>and I find it predatory.

393
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I find it creepy.

394
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 5>And you know, we're not talking about drag queens doing

395
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:58.319
<v Speaker 5>Dolly Parton or Aretha Franklin at the State Fair. That

396
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:02.319
<v Speaker 5>could be funny, nobody would really care. They're deliberately doing

397
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 5>the most explicit, the most sexualized things like a Trappie's

398
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 5>and a song in front of children. And I believe

399
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 5>the LDBLGBTQ agenda, the queer movement, which they call it

400
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.440
<v Speaker 5>now is it's truly meant to corrupt the minds of

401
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 5>children and normalize the most deviant things possible. So I've

402
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.880
<v Speaker 5>stepped away from it, and I've fought it because I

403
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.799
<v Speaker 5>dressed up as Lady Maga and I sort of bend

404
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.400
<v Speaker 5>the mold so to speak, you know, dressing up and

405
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.440
<v Speaker 5>playing a female character. You know, the legislature here in Utah,

406
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.200
<v Speaker 5>they asked me to testify to help get Senate Bill

407
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 5>sixteen passed, which it did, thank god, and we made

408
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 5>it illegal to mutilate little children. And my message was, look,

409
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 5>if you're wearing a dress, if you're wearing makeup, no

410
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 5>matter how fabulous you look, you are not a woman.

411
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 5>You can never become a woman. And so yeah, I've

412
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 5>tried to I've tried to speak out for common sense,

413
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 5>and the woke mod came for me and got me

414
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.839
<v Speaker 5>fired from my job as a flight attendant, lost me

415
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.799
<v Speaker 5>eight year career because they labeled me trans pulbick and

416
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 5>islama pubic and all the rest.

417
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 3>So it's been a rough road.

418
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, many people, many people, Ryan would consider this hateful

419
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:23.359
<v Speaker 1>talk we're having right now, just because we're pointing out

420
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the obvious grooming and pedophilia that I believe is going

421
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:31.680
<v Speaker 1>on within the LGBTQ plus community because of the month

422
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>we're in. And I said, well, what month are we in.

423
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.839
<v Speaker 1>We're in June. Uh, And that's that's all it is

424
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.759
<v Speaker 1>to me. This is June, which is a month of

425
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.880
<v Speaker 1>on the calendar. It's not any special month. It's it's summertime.

426
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Donald Trump's birthday month, it is father Father's Day

427
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is a week from tonight.

428
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It's Father's Day month.

429
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, I don't know why June would

430
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>be any more significant or special for the lgb two

431
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>t Q plus crowd than any other month of the year.

432
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:05.359
<v Speaker 5>You can call them the LGBTQ mafia if you want,

433
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 5>because that's what they are. They're a militant political mafia.

434
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.880
<v Speaker 5>They're not out for inclusion, they're not out for tolerance,

435
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 5>they're not out for integration. They're off for cultural dominance.

436
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 5>They want it to be illegal for you and I.

437
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 3>To call out what they are.

438
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:21.359
<v Speaker 5>And they get so offended when we call them groomers

439
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 5>and pedophiles, but they never say, how dare you call

440
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 5>us that? We're not that? Well, yes you are.

441
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Well here here's the thing too, when I saw just

442
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a story this past week about a drag queen's story

443
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 1>hour in a public library. I think it was in Vermont,

444
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not quite sure. But for two to five year

445
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:48.440
<v Speaker 1>olds to be exposed to this, I don't know anybody

446
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 1>who's a parent or anyone who has a lick of

447
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 1>sense about them and cares about kids who would want

448
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.799
<v Speaker 1>to expose two to five year olds to any kind

449
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 1>of sexual uh heterosexual uh training or anything else. That

450
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.319
<v Speaker 1>These are children, right, These are precious children. It's not

451
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 1>time for them to have sex ed thanks to a

452
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>drag queen or anybody else at that age.

453
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 5>No, absolutely not. And what I don't understand is, you know,

454
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.319
<v Speaker 5>I do not promote homosexuality. I don't think it's the

455
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 5>equivalent of the American traditional family. My fight is to

456
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:35.039
<v Speaker 5>defend my Christian brothers and sisters and their families because

457
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.359
<v Speaker 5>that's the back point of our society. It's not homeost.

458
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.799
<v Speaker 5>No offense to us homeold you know, got exists. Secular

459
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 5>freedom is great, But these people, I don't understand their

460
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:51.960
<v Speaker 5>obsession with other people's children and validation from children, especially

461
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.680
<v Speaker 5>in a public library. Look, it's some drag queen. If

462
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.200
<v Speaker 5>you know if they're doing something tasteful or glamorous and

463
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 5>they want to do it privately for their friends and family,

464
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 5>I really don't care, and I'm not going to try

465
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.400
<v Speaker 5>to shut them down and will shut them down when

466
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 5>they invade our public spaces and they push it on children,

467
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 5>and especially in a taxpayer funded venue.

468
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:14.319
<v Speaker 3>How dare you?

469
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.119
<v Speaker 5>How dare you go into that public library where my

470
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 5>family could be, you know, my my Mormon family and

471
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 5>my nieces and nephews could be in then, and they

472
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker 5>could see that by force. See they're they're they're forceful,

473
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:33.160
<v Speaker 5>they're militant, they're a mafia. We will invade your children's library.

474
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.319
<v Speaker 5>We will groom then we will uh you know, in Disneyland,

475
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 5>we will have a man with a beard at the

476
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 5>vivity Bobbedy boutique, dressed as a woman doing your little

477
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.720
<v Speaker 5>girl's hair. Go to hell, all of them. So that's

478
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 5>the good news is I think I think America spoke

479
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 5>when we voted for Donald Trump.

480
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

481
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 5>And I also think that your average white gay guy

482
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:05.720
<v Speaker 5>doesn't align with this. Lesbians especially don't align with it

483
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.559
<v Speaker 5>because all of us are being told it's so funny,

484
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 5>you know, they all scream about conversion therapy to become straight.

485
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.839
<v Speaker 5>But they're literally telling gay men and gay women that

486
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 5>if you're not attracted to a trans person, you're transphobic.

487
00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:22.960
<v Speaker 5>In other words, if I'm not attracted to a woman

488
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 5>because she identifies as a man, I am transphobic. And

489
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.400
<v Speaker 5>if a lesbian is not attracted to a Okay, I'm

490
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 5>getting all confused. A man who identifies as a woman,

491
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.160
<v Speaker 5>right with males general, they are transphobic. Tell me that's

492
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:44.000
<v Speaker 5>not conversion therapy, and force like they're disgusting. So I

493
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 5>just don't hold back. I just call them for what

494
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:50.759
<v Speaker 5>they are. And I will say this, this sounds very harsh,

495
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.599
<v Speaker 5>but I'll explain why I believe this. You heard of

496
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 5>Elizabeth Smart right from here in Utah.

497
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Sure, the woman who the girl who was kidnapped and

498
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 1>held captivity, rape, all of that for years. Yeah, and

499
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 1>then finally finally was found and freed.

500
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

501
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

502
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 5>And she so this woman I when I worked in

503
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.319
<v Speaker 5>the airline, I had her on my flight.

504
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:14.319
<v Speaker 3>She's a lovely.

505
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 5>Woman, full of light and positivity, and she does ted

506
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:20.200
<v Speaker 5>talks and her messages. You know, I'm not going to

507
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 5>let them ruin my life and.

508
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:23.559
<v Speaker 3>She's moved on.

509
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.720
<v Speaker 5>The point is Elizabeth Smart is able to move on

510
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 5>because her abuse was temporary. If you permanently alter the

511
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.880
<v Speaker 5>sex organs of a child by giving them puberty blockers

512
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:38.319
<v Speaker 5>or cut off her girl's breasts or shrink of boys testicles,

513
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 5>and then inhibit their ability to have intimate sensations later

514
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.000
<v Speaker 5>in their lives, and you get them hooked on drugs

515
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 5>because it involves their sex organs, it is a form

516
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.160
<v Speaker 5>of sexual abuse. And I will say those doctors and

517
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.599
<v Speaker 5>those parents who do this to children are worse than

518
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:58.960
<v Speaker 5>child molesters because at least the caterer's molested can move

519
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:02.519
<v Speaker 5>on later. Sexual abuse is permanent, and we need to

520
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:04.799
<v Speaker 5>call them that. We need to call them the worst

521
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 5>form of child abusers, on par with child molesters, same

522
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 5>same game. And yet we normalize it and we argue with.

523
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You have to register as sex offenders. I'm serious.

524
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:18.799
<v Speaker 5>They should go to prison. They should go to prison.

525
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:24.640
<v Speaker 5>You know uh ihan omar uh uh. Female genital mutilation

526
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:26.720
<v Speaker 5>is rampant in Somalia and Michigan.

527
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Of course it is uh.

528
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:31.000
<v Speaker 5>You know where they where They remove the part of

529
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 5>a group anatomy, So you can't have a sexual sensation.

530
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 5>It's the same thing they're doing to these children. I

531
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 5>just I'm still in shock that we're even like having

532
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 5>this conversation, that our fellow Americans are are condoning this

533
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:49.279
<v Speaker 5>and saying it's okay. And also, like my allegedly Republican

534
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:53.039
<v Speaker 5>Mormon Governor Spencer Cox, he's an evil, evil man. He

535
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 5>vetoed the bill to protect women in sports, he vetoed

536
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.680
<v Speaker 5>the bill to stop child mutilation, He panders to the

537
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 5>lg BTQ, and he was named person of the Year

538
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 5>by Queer Salt Lake magazine, the most far less you

539
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 5>know groomer magazine. He was named person of the Year.

540
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.319
<v Speaker 5>So enemies are not just the obese, purple haired women's

541
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:16.799
<v Speaker 5>screaming for trans rights. It's people on the right who

542
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 5>act as if it's just a political disagreement and we

543
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 5>can talk about it. No, we can't talk about it. Well,

544
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:25.680
<v Speaker 5>you're going to hell for what you're doing. You belong

545
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 5>in prison for what you're doing. And that's why, you know,

546
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.599
<v Speaker 5>I call it out, and then I'm called transphobic, and

547
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:35.720
<v Speaker 5>I've been blamed for suicides of trans youth. Literally, people

548
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.240
<v Speaker 5>have screamed, and.

549
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:41.880
<v Speaker 1>They're starting to get the facts in and the research

550
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>is being done, Ryan, it leads to more suicides of

551
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 1>these kids who've been subjected to these therapies than just

552
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:54.359
<v Speaker 1>being able to grow out of it and find out

553
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:57.119
<v Speaker 1>who they are without this being forced upon them, or

554
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>being told that the body that they were born in

555
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.799
<v Speaker 1>isn't the body that they belong in.

556
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:03.440
<v Speaker 3>There.

557
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 5>To me, like, look, I was an a feminine little kid.

558
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.039
<v Speaker 5>I love Barbie, Princess Pink, my little Pony, all of it.

559
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:13.440
<v Speaker 5>Had I been born today, I would have believed them

560
00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 5>when they said.

561
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 3>You like girl things, you're a girl. You'll be happier

562
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 3>if you're a girl.

563
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.440
<v Speaker 5>I would have believed them. I would have gone along

564
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:25.200
<v Speaker 5>with it. And to me, nothing, absolutely nothing could be

565
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker 5>more traumatizing or mentally damaging as a child to believe

566
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 5>there's something fundamentally wrong with my body, with my biology,

567
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 5>with my with my actual body. What does that say

568
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker 5>to a child?

569
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:41.000
<v Speaker 3>You know?

570
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 5>If I had, let's say me, if I dealt with

571
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 5>me as dad today and I had a little boy

572
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 5>like me, I'd say, hey, you know what, you're pretty creative,

573
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.119
<v Speaker 5>aren't you. You love Pink? You love Barbies? Yeah, Barbies,

574
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.480
<v Speaker 5>I find they're pretty play with your dolls. You're not

575
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.839
<v Speaker 5>a girl, and you're going to go up and be

576
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 5>a strong man. And and you know, I wouldn't villainize

577
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 5>me or insult me or spank me like I was.

578
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.759
<v Speaker 5>And I well, probably why I ended up doing dragons.

579
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 5>But you know, just don't make a big deal out

580
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 5>of it, and then balance the kid with good, you know,

581
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:17.000
<v Speaker 5>masculine activities as well, some horseback riding, and say what

582
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:20.319
<v Speaker 5>it is. But to tell the child you are in

583
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:24.559
<v Speaker 5>the wrong body, it's satanic, it is demonic. And hearing you,

584
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 5>I've been posting videos of when they went to Pride

585
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 5>and such. The Satanic temple was there and they were

586
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 5>unbaptizing Christians by putting blood on their forehead. There was

587
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.960
<v Speaker 5>a topless woman, there were children, people saying hailed Satan

588
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 5>and this is in Utah, and that is who is

589
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:47.160
<v Speaker 5>behind the LGBTQ movement, that it is demonic, it is satanic.

590
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 5>We don't have a political battle, we have a spiritual battle.

591
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, I'm a home all or whatever, but I

592
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 5>know God and i know light, and I'm sober because

593
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 5>of Jesus Christ, and so I reckon nice evil And

594
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 5>when you go after the little ones. I mean, adults

595
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 5>doing what they do consensually, who cares. But when you

596
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 5>go after the little ones and kids like I was,

597
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:13.319
<v Speaker 5>you're there's just nothing more evil.

598
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know, there's there's there's a famous scripture that whoever,

599
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:23.000
<v Speaker 1>whoever would harm and I'm paraphrasing here the scripture. I

600
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 1>don't have it out in front of me, it would

601
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>be better better to have a millstone thrown around their

602
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>neck and be thrown in the ocean, or better than

603
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that if they'd ever been born.

604
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

605
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:40.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's exactly right, that's exactly right. But we've normalized

606
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:43.119
<v Speaker 5>because here's the thing. What they're trying to do with

607
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 5>this trans normalization, that a child knows who they are

608
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:50.599
<v Speaker 5>when they're born. It's a step toward normalizing the idea

609
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 5>that children are capable of adult consent. And we all

610
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 5>know what that means. Ye see, they're they're getting us

611
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 5>used to this idea that children know who they are,

612
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 5>children know what's best for them, They're just as capable

613
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.680
<v Speaker 5>as an adult. They fully understand the world.

614
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.480
<v Speaker 1>And changing changing the language from pedophile to minor attracted person.

615
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:18.519
<v Speaker 5>Oh, that's totally what's next. That's totally what's next, And

616
00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:23.279
<v Speaker 5>in my opinion, that isn't even as bad as mutilating kids,

617
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:25.720
<v Speaker 5>like they're on the same level. Does that make sense

618
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 5>that it's the same level of evil. People act as

619
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:32.680
<v Speaker 5>if mutilating children in the name of trend is not

620
00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:35.960
<v Speaker 5>as bad as minor attracted person when we say, oh,

621
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 5>that's next. No, this is just as bad as what

622
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 5>could potentially be next. We are in the clagmire of

623
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.200
<v Speaker 5>evil and demonic abuse.

624
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 3>We're already there.

625
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 1>I agree, I agree. I'm sorry we got to cut

626
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 1>it off there, Ryan.

627
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, God bless me. I hope people. I hope people

628
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 5>stand up more militantly.

629
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Like I do.

630
00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Well.

631
00:33:56.799 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 5>Happy, yes, happy June, and God bless America.

632
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Lady Maga USA. Ryan Wood with us on

633
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this special edition of Gary Jeff Walker on your Radio.

634
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:13.119
<v Speaker 1>We will be switching gears completely after the news at

635
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.800
<v Speaker 1>eight o'clock, when John Willis will be our guest as

636
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.079
<v Speaker 1>we talk Newport Italian Fest this September.

637
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Our iHeart radio, New music.

638
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Come to everyone who's not watching the Tonys or something

639
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 1>actually interesting, like maybe the NBA playoffser it's the Major

640
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball. Speaking of Major League Baseball, the Reds actually

641
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>swept somebody again. The sweep was on today against the Dbacks,

642
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:46.000
<v Speaker 1>after the incredible comeback after the rainout on Friday night,

643
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.880
<v Speaker 1>whether it was tied and the Reds of course walked

644
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker 1>off for the first of two finished games on Saturday,

645
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 1>as you well know, and then the pounding that they

646
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 1>gave Arizona yesterday, and then today another victory at GABP.

647
00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:05.360
<v Speaker 1>The Reds back to thirty three and thirty three on

648
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 1>this season, and you know, right up equaling what I say.

649
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 1>My prediction is for the team for the year, which

650
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 1>is eighty one and eighty one, which may be good

651
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 1>enough for a wild card.

652
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 2>We don't know.

653
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.159
<v Speaker 1>We don't know at this point if they'll make eighty

654
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:23.519
<v Speaker 1>one and eighty one. Maybe they'll do better. They've shown

655
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>no signs that they're capable of doing better. But you know,

656
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 1>take the victories where you can get them. Today was

657
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:34.800
<v Speaker 1>one of those days, and this weekend was a great

658
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:39.119
<v Speaker 1>weekend if you're a Reds fans. This season continues nine

659
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.599
<v Speaker 1>minutes after the hour Gary Jeff Walker in a special

660
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:44.800

<v Speaker 1>special week ahead because on Thursday night it officially begins

662
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the thirty third annual Newport Italian Fest. And there's some

663
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.480
<v Speaker 1>new things this year which we will go over and

664
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a new person who's going to be joining me on

665

<v Speaker 1>stage during the weekend to do MC work. And we

666

<v Speaker 1>have him on the telephone right now. His name is

667
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:12.039
<v Speaker 1>John Willis. John, welcome to the show. How are you, Paison?

668
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.039
<v Speaker 3>Thanks? Gary, appreciate you having me on. I'm doing great.

669
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:16.639
<v Speaker 3>How are you doing?

670
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Doing fantastic? Now? How long? How long you have been

671
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.440
<v Speaker 2>with Newport City? You're you're a new hire.

672
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:25.000
<v Speaker 3>You know.

673
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.000
<v Speaker 6>I've been with the city at Newport for about four months. Yeah,

674
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.039
<v Speaker 6>and it's it's been a great experience. I've lived in

675
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:34.119
<v Speaker 6>the city for about a year and you know, they've

676
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 6>thrown me into things.

677
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 3>It's a it's a great team to.

678
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.039
<v Speaker 6>Be a part of and I'm excited that I get

679
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 6>to be more involved with Italian Fest.

680
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:42.920
<v Speaker 2>What what did you do previously before you're with the city, John?

681
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 6>So, before I worked for the city, I worked on

682
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:50.800
<v Speaker 6>political campaigns. Oh so, I was managing campaigns over and

683
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:53.880
<v Speaker 6>over in Hamilton County and I decided I wanted to

684
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 6>work for the government, so I went over and got

685
00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:59.880
<v Speaker 6>a job with the city at Newport, and I'm working

686
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:02.360
<v Speaker 6>in economic development for the city, so I work with

687
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.760
<v Speaker 6>our business owners and I help them in any way

688
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.280
<v Speaker 6>the city can. And then we're also looking to fill

689
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.039
<v Speaker 6>empty spaces and attract new businesses as well well.

690
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean with a background with a background in politics,

691
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>at least you know you don't have to get down

692
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and dirty with all of the things that go on

693
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.880
<v Speaker 1>during political campaigns. But it gives you a great insight

694
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:26.559
<v Speaker 1>and experience on how to maybe get things done working

695
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Speaker 1>for the city. And as you mentioned, in economic development

696
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and the like. So and like I said, you don't

697
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.800
<v Speaker 1>have to you don't have to be involved in politics necessarily.

698
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:41.880
<v Speaker 1>You can kind of enjoy the periphery and do some

699
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:44.719
<v Speaker 1>positive things for Newport. I think that's a great thing

700
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:46.280
<v Speaker 1>now exactly.

701
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 6>I was just going to add the biggest things communication,

702
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:50.519
<v Speaker 6>and that's why I'm excited to come out here and

703
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.719
<v Speaker 6>talk to your audience about Italian Fest, because we want

704
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.639
<v Speaker 6>everyone to know that it's coming and it's going to

705
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:56.400
<v Speaker 6>be here this week.

706
00:37:56.519 --> 00:38:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, unofficially starts at four o'clock Wednesday at Pompiglio's where

707
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>they have the annual Mayor's Bochi Ball Tournament, which I've

708
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:08.039
<v Speaker 1>been to actually one year. John, I've been involved with

709
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the Italian Fest. I've been humbled and honored enough to

710
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:14.239
<v Speaker 1>be involved with Italian Fest in Newport since about twenty

711
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>ten or two thousand and nine. So, and this is

712
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the thirty third annual, which originally cooked up by Thomas

713
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Godooley Senior, whose son is now mayor. And we have

714
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a new city manager in Newport, John Hayden, Who's you know,

715
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:33.320
<v Speaker 1>off to a head start, a running start, I would say,

716
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>But then on Thursday night the ball really gets rolling.

717
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.400
<v Speaker 1>After the bochi balls are done, the ball really gets rolling.

718
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:44.360
<v Speaker 1>On Thursday night. The festival grounds will open at five o'clock.

719
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Pete Wagner and Nancy James, who have been a part

720
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:52.079
<v Speaker 1>of Newport Italian Fest for as long as there's been one,

721
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe. I don't know if you've met any of

722
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:58.880
<v Speaker 1>those people yet, but they're great folks, and Nancy James

723
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:04.679
<v Speaker 1>in particular, it has been a personality, a media personality,

724
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.599
<v Speaker 1>a TV personality, a radio personality in this town for

725
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:11.800
<v Speaker 1>longer than I've been here, which is thirty one years

726
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 1>at this point. And I swear she gets younger every year.

727
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how that works. But you'll see if

728
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you meet Nancy James, and you will this weekend. She

729
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:27.280
<v Speaker 1>seems to get younger and more vibrant every She's a

730
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:31.880
<v Speaker 1>beautiful lady, an incredible singer, incredible entertainer, and she's been

731
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:34.760
<v Speaker 1>a part like bread and butter with Italian fest along

732
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:39.599
<v Speaker 1>with Paul Wagner and the Pete Wagner Orchestra. That happens,

733
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:44.280
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned, Thursday at five o'clock six point thirty,

734
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the opening ceremony, and that's all the muckety MUCKs, the

735
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>mayor and the city commissioners and everybody out on stage.

736
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And I know you're gonna be there too.

737
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:56.159
<v Speaker 2>And then and then John.

738
00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>This is so integral to what Italian Festas brings, as

739
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 1>far as the heritage of Italian legacy and footprint in Newport,

740
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:15.039
<v Speaker 1>the Italian American Sons and Daughters Award. Every night there

741
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:18.039
<v Speaker 1>is some honoree at seven o'clock Thursday, we'll do that.

742
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>And then Marino Frizzetti, who you gotta meet, man, and

743
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you will. He is incredible. I call him the Italian

744
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Tom Jones been anyway, any thoughts or comments on any

745
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of this?

746
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, no, absolutely, Like you said, it's it's amazing to

747
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.559
<v Speaker 6>celebrate an important part of the city's heritage, and it's

748
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:38.599
<v Speaker 6>great to honor some of these families that have been

749
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:42.119
<v Speaker 6>instrumental in founding Newport and making it what it is today.

750
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.039
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I've heard a lot about Marino Frizzetti

751
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:48.360
<v Speaker 6>and I've seen him perform online, but I'm so excited

752
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:50.280
<v Speaker 6>to watch him in person and hopefully get to meet

753
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.840
<v Speaker 6>him too, at least I'll be there when you're introducing

754
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:53.840
<v Speaker 6>him on Thursday night.

755
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, you've got a taste from watching a video, but

756
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:01.400
<v Speaker 1>there is nothing like seeing Moreno live, believe me, and

757
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I believe it. And we got Vinyl, then we got

758
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Vinyl Countdown closing things out on Thursday night at nine o'clock.

759
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 1>And Thursday's kind of a short schedule because it's the

760
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 1>opening ceremonies and that is the main enchilada there or

761
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the main fas old as we probably ought to say.

762
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:20.519
<v Speaker 1>And that's five to eleven on Thursday night there at

763
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Festival Park down below the Levee for the first time.

764
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:28.960
<v Speaker 1>As I mentioned at the top of this, you're going

765
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to be doing some MC work and I'm excited to

766
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:34.239
<v Speaker 1>see you on stage. I know you'll have a ball

767
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:36.360
<v Speaker 1>because it's such a great time and the people who

768
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 1>attend Italian Fest are so welcoming and it's just great.

769
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you'll get you'll get a buzz being up

770
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:45.000
<v Speaker 1>there on stage. I guarantee it.

771
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what I hear.

772
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.760
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I know that every year over one

773
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:51.679
<v Speaker 6>hundred thousand people come to Newport just for Italian Fest.

774
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.159
<v Speaker 6>So I'll definitely have to get with the mayor and

775
00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:56.840
<v Speaker 6>some of the other folks that have been involved for

776
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:59.280
<v Speaker 6>a long time so that I have some material on

777
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:02.679
<v Speaker 6>stage and we're working with the bands. But I've heard

778
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:06.119
<v Speaker 6>it's electric and intoxicating. I'm excited to be a part

779
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:06.599
<v Speaker 6>of it.

780
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Friday night again at five o'clock late gates opening on Friday,

781
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Saturday and Sunday, your kind of all day events. The

782
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:20.480
<v Speaker 1>festival grounds open again Friday on the thirteenth. Pete Wagner back,

783
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 1>You'll be there for that. I'm planning on being there

784
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 1>for the Honored Italian American Sons and Daughters Award on

785
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Friday at six forty five. Jennifer Marie Marianni is going

786
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to be honored and Marino Frizzetti is back, and then

787
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you'll take it the rest of the evening on Friday

788
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:41.280
<v Speaker 1>with Pete Wagner and the Matt Tolentino Band. And this

789
00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:45.960
<v Speaker 1>is something that's new this year, announcement that I just

790
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:50.280
<v Speaker 1>got with the program, and we will see throughout the weekend.

791
00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:54.400
<v Speaker 1>On Thursday and Friday night, both nights at Italian Fest

792
00:42:54.400 --> 00:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in Newport, we'll have strolling accordion players performing throughout the crowd,

793
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:03.280
<v Speaker 1>which is just great. I mean, you want to talk

794
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.000
<v Speaker 1>about a taste of Italy.

795
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:06.920
<v Speaker 2>London.

796
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Shoal and the aforementioned Matt Tolantino will be there from

797
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:15.199
<v Speaker 1>five thirty to eight pm strolling the grounds and entertaining

798
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:18.559
<v Speaker 1>the folks as they go to the food booths and

799
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:23.559
<v Speaker 1>visit some of our other vendors and participants. Now, Saturday

800
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:27.039
<v Speaker 1>is going to be your day man. Saturday and Sunday

801
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the keys are yours. I'm handing the keys over to you,

802
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:35.159
<v Speaker 1>John Willis. And the festival grounds open at noon both days,

803
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and there's some incredible performers once again, Marino Frizetti, Swan

804
00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>which I've never heard that one party band and doctor Zouit.

805
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Do you know anything about any of these performers yet?

806
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:53.360
<v Speaker 6>So at this point I don't know anything about the

807
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:54.360
<v Speaker 6>bands on Saturday.

808
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:57.239
<v Speaker 3>Now looking ahead, I don't want to.

809
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:59.119
<v Speaker 6>Get ahead of ourselves that I'm excited for the naked

810
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:00.599
<v Speaker 6>karate girls on Sunday night.

811
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I knew you. I knew, I knew you were gonna

812
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:04.039
<v Speaker 2>be a big favor. Go ahead.

813
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:07.679
<v Speaker 6>I've been to a show there and they and they rock,

814
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.440
<v Speaker 6>and all these bands are great, you know they it's

815
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:12.679
<v Speaker 6>it's competitive to play at the festival that gets one

816
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.760
<v Speaker 6>hundred thousand attendees, like Italian Fest, and we're excited to.

817
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Have them all come in. So yeah, I remember, no

818
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:20.000
<v Speaker 3>one will be disappointed.

819
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, the first time I interviewed somebody with the naked

820
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:27.840
<v Speaker 1>karate girls for this event, mind you, I asked the

821
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:32.679
<v Speaker 1>stupid DJ questions like, so you're not naked, you don't

822
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:35.760
<v Speaker 1>do karate, and you're not girls. It's like a question

823
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:39.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody asked. But give us, give us a little taste

824
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:42.239
<v Speaker 1>of what people will see when they see the naked

825
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:44.840
<v Speaker 1>karate girls perform Sunday night at six o'clock.

826
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:48.199
<v Speaker 6>John, Well, they're going to see a couple of guys

827
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:50.239
<v Speaker 6>who are given that they're all on stage, and uh,

828
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:53.320
<v Speaker 6>you know they rock, so you know, anticipate some some

829
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:58.199
<v Speaker 6>great music, some some great performers as well on stage,

830
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.800
<v Speaker 6>and you know, to be completely entertained.

831
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:03.119
<v Speaker 2>All right.

832
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:05.480
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I want to mention for people if

833
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:08.559
<v Speaker 1>you've never been to Italian Fest in Newport before, is

834
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.119
<v Speaker 1>there is a tent on the festival grounds every year

835
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that has families the different Italian families that settled in

836
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 1>northern Kentucky and helped make Newport such a special place

837
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.679
<v Speaker 1>that it is today. And you see the family pictures,

838
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:29.159
<v Speaker 1>the lineage of each one of those families as you

839
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:35.199
<v Speaker 1>go through the photo arrays, and I highly recommend, since

840
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:38.039
<v Speaker 1>this is your first Italian Fest, that you take some

841
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>time while you're there to check them out. And the food,

842
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody, everybody always wants to know, did you

843
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:51.039
<v Speaker 1>get your Italian sausage. Somebody that I used to talk

844
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:53.559
<v Speaker 1>to on the radio, Tracy Jones, used to say, oh,

845
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:56.639
<v Speaker 1>you're going to Sausage Fest. No, it's not sausage Fest,

846
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:59.840
<v Speaker 1>it's Italian Fest. But yes, they have Italian rope sausage

847
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:05.239
<v Speaker 1>with peppers and onions and marinara and it's wonderful, and yeah,

848
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I will get one of those. Do you have any

849
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:16.000
<v Speaker 1>specific kind of taste for anything food wise this weekend.

850
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a favorite Italian food?

851
00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:21.079
<v Speaker 6>John, You know, I'll tell you Gary, the thing that

852
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:25.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm looking forward to the most is piganos stuffshells.

853
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:27.280
<v Speaker 3>It's made with three cheeses.

854
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 6>It's one of my favorite dishes and I'm definitely gonna

855
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:31.800
<v Speaker 6>get some this weekend, all right.

856
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:34.519
<v Speaker 1>And there are so many people being paid tribute to

857
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:38.840
<v Speaker 1>this weekend at Newport Italian Fest as well, those those

858
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:41.679
<v Speaker 1>who have passed and those who are still with us,

859
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:47.639
<v Speaker 1>And it's a time to treasure those incredible people who

860
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:50.559
<v Speaker 1>have made Newport such a special place over the years.

861
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:52.960
<v Speaker 1>We only missed twenty twenty, and that was the year

862
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that everybody missed everything because of COVID. I still say

863
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:01.840
<v Speaker 1>under false pretenses, but that's just me. But I'm looking

864
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:05.599
<v Speaker 1>forward to it again Thursday night. I'll be there you,

865
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:09.159
<v Speaker 1>John Willis will be there and you will experience, for

866
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.239
<v Speaker 1>the first time in person, the magic of what it's

867
00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:17.800
<v Speaker 1>like to be at least an honorary Italian.

868
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.360
<v Speaker 6>And I'm excited for it. And you know, Gary, you've

869
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.079
<v Speaker 6>been great. You've given me so much advice. I know

870
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:25.119
<v Speaker 6>We've got to talk a few times leading up to it.

871
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:27.360
<v Speaker 6>And you know, You've answered some of my questions, but

872
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:29.280
<v Speaker 6>I've got a question for you that I want you

873
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:29.559
<v Speaker 6>to answer.

874
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:30.360
<v Speaker 2>All yes, sir.

875
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:33.960
<v Speaker 6>What was the biggest surprise when you the first time

876
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.280
<v Speaker 6>you m see the Italian Fest? What shocked you when

877
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:37.480
<v Speaker 6>you got behind the mic up there?

878
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know if anything shocked me behind the mic.

879
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been em seeing stuff for a long time before

880
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I started doing Italian Fest. But I think the thing

881
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that was special to me, the most special thing standing

882
00:47:53.079 --> 00:48:00.119
<v Speaker 1>up on stage, was the acceptance and the welcoming of

883
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:05.239
<v Speaker 1>the crowd to somebody who number one not Italian heritage.

884
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:05.679
<v Speaker 2>You know.

885
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:09.639
<v Speaker 1>I always say that the city of Newport makes me

886
00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:14.320
<v Speaker 1>an honorary Italian once a year for a whole weekend,

887
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's so nice to be welcomed in the family.

888
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:17.800
<v Speaker 2>And I guess that's the thing.

889
00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:22.840
<v Speaker 1>It's the embrace of that whole community to someone who

890
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:25.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, I didn't live in Newport all my life.

891
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I moved to Newport in two thousand, so I've been

892
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:32.159
<v Speaker 1>there for a quarter century now. But a lot of

893
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.880
<v Speaker 1>places you go if you're not from there, if you're

894
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:38.800
<v Speaker 1>not originally from there, you always kind of feel like

895
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:42.480
<v Speaker 1>an outsider, no matter how nice people are. But John,

896
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, once you were embraced by these people

897
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and you're welcomed in like family, you're always family, and

898
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:56.159
<v Speaker 1>they make you feel like it. You're never you're never

899
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:59.480
<v Speaker 1>an outsider. So once you once you get it, and

900
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not it's not like anything nefarious, like you're not

901
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:06.079
<v Speaker 1>going to be made to kiss anybody's ring or anything

902
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:10.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. But what I'm saying is you get in

903
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and you're in man as long as you want to

904
00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:19.639
<v Speaker 1>be in, and you feel that warmth. And that's what

905
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:22.239
<v Speaker 1>a new Newport Italian Fest. You think it's only a

906
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:27.880
<v Speaker 1>celebration of Italian heritage, but it's the Sons the Italian

907
00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:31.960
<v Speaker 1>American Sons and Daughters Awards, so's it's a truly American

908
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:36.840
<v Speaker 1>festival as well, because only in this country could an

909
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:41.960
<v Speaker 1>entire ethnic group be welcomed and assimilated into it and

910
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:45.840
<v Speaker 1>made a part of it. And the people who are

911
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:51.840
<v Speaker 1>involved with Newport's Italian Fest except everyone, no matter what

912
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:56.159
<v Speaker 1>their walk of life, no matter who they are, and

913
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:59.679
<v Speaker 1>no matter what other beliefs they may have or don't have,

914
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:03.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's just it's a big family. So I think

915
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're about to walk into. I hope you're

916
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:06.800
<v Speaker 1>ready for.

917
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:09.199
<v Speaker 3>That, absolutely.

918
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.639
<v Speaker 6>And you know it's Newport's a great city to live in,

919
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:13.400
<v Speaker 6>It's an even better city to work for.

920
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.320
<v Speaker 3>This is a great team. I felt welcome since day one.

921
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:19.079
