Speaker 2: It's a Monday night, and that means we've got a
Speaker 2: little room here for the wild man himself, sports for
Speaker 2: the out of sorts, and he's a little bit whanked
Speaker 2: off again, which doesn't surprise anybody that is known or
Speaker 2: listened to wild Man Walker over the last thirty or
Speaker 2: so years. Wild Man, what is the what is the
Speaker 2: b in your bonnet? What is really burning you up
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 6: Well, now let's start with the positive. The NFL playoff
Speaker 6: games first there going Yeah, over the.
Speaker 7: Weekend, all the games, you know, all the games were good,
Speaker 7: but I mean the best game, the best game of
Speaker 7: the weekend was last night.
Speaker 6: Oh I Washington, Washington.
Speaker 7: And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twenty three twenty Washington winning
Speaker 7: their first playoff game in some twenty years. And I thought,
Speaker 7: if you were watching the game, Gary Jeff, it sounded
Speaker 7: like there was more Washington fans there than Buccaneer fans.
Speaker 2: They were making a lot of well and it was
Speaker 2: the one game all weekend where the game was really
Speaker 2: in doubt all the way.
Speaker 6: True, it was close.
Speaker 2: We had some blowouts this weekend, didn't Yeah.
Speaker 8: We knew that.
Speaker 6: You go ahead.
Speaker 9: Well, let's see go ahead, thirty two to twelve Texans
Speaker 9: and Chargers.
Speaker 7: That was a big yarner. The only good thing out
Speaker 7: of that game was Joe Mixing. Great to see him
Speaker 7: rush for over a one hundred plus yards and touchdown.
Speaker 7: Then you had you had the joke of the game
Speaker 7: of the week, the Bills and the Broncos thirty one seven.
Speaker 6: That that was everybody would rather see the Bengals and Bills.
Speaker 6: But I digress.
Speaker 7: And then he had the Eagles and the Packers that
Speaker 7: was like twenty two to ten. And then you had
Speaker 7: the Ravens and the Steelers, and that really was That
Speaker 7: game was over really in the first half that the
Speaker 7: Steeler did try to make a comeback end up being
Speaker 7: twenty eight to fourteen.
Speaker 6: You know a lot of those games too.
Speaker 7: We look at those games and Gary Jeff, but the
Speaker 7: reason those teams won they had a balanced passing and
Speaker 7: running game. And the running game in the playoffs that
Speaker 7: can make the difference. You've got a running game, you
Speaker 7: could possibly get to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no question about that. But I thought and
Speaker 2: right now as we speak, the Vikings are taking on
Speaker 2: the Rams in Arizona because of the wildfires in LA.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that all turns out, and that
Speaker 2: that's the final piece to figure out who's playing where
Speaker 2: next week. But I'm looking at the second round. This
Speaker 2: is where I think the playoffs really get tight.
Speaker 6: This is where separates the men from the boys.
Speaker 2: You will see some very intensely close games I'm predicting
Speaker 2: in round two and and we'll find out if the
Speaker 2: Chiefs layoff hurt them. I mean, they're they're not going
Speaker 2: up against the Baltimore Ravens, but the Ravens just look
Speaker 2: unbelievably tough and they have really the latter half of
Speaker 2: the season. They look like a team to beat. And
Speaker 2: to see the Bills. You know what is it, Ravens
Speaker 2: and Bills next weekend?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Ravens and the Bills in Buffalo.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that that may determine who wins the
Speaker 2: super Bowl. You know, totally discounting the NFC, but I'm serious.
Speaker 2: You want to talk about strength against strength, and I
Speaker 2: think the Ravens are just a little bit stronger than Buffalo.
Speaker 2: And it's hard to say that because you've got on
Speaker 2: both teams, you've got MVP candidate quarterbacks, you've got a
Speaker 2: running game. You've got a defense on both sides for
Speaker 2: both teams that can just eat people up. And we
Speaker 2: saw that this weekend lesser teams, But to see these
Speaker 2: two Juggernauts going neck and neck next week is going
Speaker 2: to be especially in Buffalo. Can you believe those crowds
Speaker 2: in Buffalo. You know, Darryl Parks, who used to be
Speaker 2: our program director here is from the Buffalo area. He's
Speaker 2: he's living there again. He's back in Buffalo. He goes
Speaker 2: to every Bills home game, and I communicate him with
Speaker 2: them by text, uh from time to time, and I
Speaker 2: did again after the game and just going well on
Speaker 2: to round two, stay tuned, and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're ready for whatever happens. Buffalo's Buffalo to me seems
Speaker 2: like a logical choice. But then it's hard to beat
Speaker 2: that one two tandem of you're talking about, uh, you
Speaker 2: know Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry. Yeah, Lamar Jackson and
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry. And then you got Sequon Barkley for the Eagles.
Speaker 2: So I mean, there's a lot of power in the NFC,
Speaker 2: but the AFC, I think, is where you're going to
Speaker 2: see the Super Bowl champion, Yes or no?
Speaker 6: I don't know about that, because I really like the
Speaker 6: Detroit Lions. I really do.
Speaker 7: And I hate to say this, the ruin the rant
Speaker 7: on the Commander's Parade, but they're there. They're run, They're
Speaker 7: run towards UH And the playoffs is going to end
Speaker 7: next week in Detroit. I mean, you talk about a
Speaker 7: place that's going to be fired up to go into.
Speaker 7: I want to go back to the Buffalo Ravens game.
Speaker 7: Home Field advantage means a lot in the playoffs, and
Speaker 7: that's one thing that the Bills have. The Ravens are
Speaker 7: gonna have to fight through that.
Speaker 9: I doubt if they have very few Ravens fans in Buffalo,
Speaker 9: if they even they dared even to enter that place.
Speaker 9: But that might be the best game next weekend. But
Speaker 9: the Lions they're waiting, they've been waiting for this. They
Speaker 9: learned their less than last year. You know, you know
Speaker 9: a lot of teams have to lose one. Who's a
Speaker 9: tough game to you know, get back on the path
Speaker 9: that Dan Campbell is not going to screw things up
Speaker 9: up there in Detroit.
Speaker 6: They they'll take care of Washington.
Speaker 2: Do you think that the Texans are going to mount
Speaker 2: a good challenge to Kansas City and week in next
Speaker 2: week's games.
Speaker 6: No going to Kansas City. No, no, not no.
Speaker 7: It might be close in the first half, but in
Speaker 7: the end that the Chiefs will win that game.
Speaker 6: The Chiefs will win that game.
Speaker 2: So you said you were upset about the Orange Bowl.
Speaker 2: What upset you about the Orange Bowl? O?
Speaker 9: You said you have a case of the asks the
Speaker 9: arms Still I'm still steaming there.
Speaker 7: I mean love.
Speaker 9: I'd love the Notre Dame one because They're gonna play
Speaker 9: Ohio State and I'll be cheering so hard for the
Speaker 9: Irish to knock off Ohio State.
Speaker 6: To win the National championship.
Speaker 9: But following the game, following the game, garay jef, I
Speaker 9: don't interrupt me here. But following the game, ESPN reporter
Speaker 9: that dupus bimbo Molly McGrath maybe she maybe, maybe she
Speaker 9: had orders to ask this question, but she asked Notre
Speaker 9: Dame coach Marcus Freeman, or what are your thoughts of
Speaker 9: being the first black head coach to play.
Speaker 6: In a National championship game? And Marcus Freeman did the
Speaker 6: great thing.
Speaker 7: He took you pause for about five seconds and then said, really,
Speaker 7: you know this, this has nothing to do and I'm
Speaker 7: glad we're here and he coached it would want to play.
Speaker 7: Why are they going to bring up race? What is
Speaker 7: the ESPN's thing about bringing up race every week?
Speaker 6: The hell every time McGrath.
Speaker 9: If by McGrath had any scruples or any integrity, she
Speaker 9: would have said no, I'm not asking that question.
Speaker 6: But she went to keep her job. And if you
Speaker 6: watch that interview, she kept looking at her.
Speaker 7: Phone while he was talking, so they were either sending
Speaker 7: her messages.
Speaker 9: But that has no place in football. That is no
Speaker 9: place anywhere in sports. Bringing up something stupid in the
Speaker 9: Audit is stupid by that woman.
Speaker 10: Number one.
Speaker 6: She has no integrity. And ESPNT what are their ratings?
Speaker 6: Sucks so bad?
Speaker 2: Well does somebody? As you mentioned, we're feeding her questions?
Speaker 2: What is the deal? Where? Why do you even belong
Speaker 2: interviewing coaches or players If you can't ask your own questions,
Speaker 2: if you've got to be fed them through an IFB
Speaker 2: or through your phone, you know what I mean. They
Speaker 2: don't trust her to ask her own questions. They don't
Speaker 2: trust her to ask the pertinent questions, but they entrust
Speaker 2: her with a phone so she can see the woke
Speaker 2: questions that somebody wants them to ask. You've got a
Speaker 2: bunch of young gun that.
Speaker 7: Is bush that's really bush league that you can't ask
Speaker 7: your own questions. Like I said, integrity to go along
Speaker 7: with that, she has none, And I hope I run
Speaker 7: into her somewhere down the line.
Speaker 2: All you got to look is, look is what they
Speaker 2: did with Sage Steel when she disagreed with men playing
Speaker 2: in women's sports and they let her go. They fired
Speaker 2: her because over this, And this is ESPN as a culture,
Speaker 2: Disney as a culture is so woke at the corporate top,
Speaker 2: that's all they cint They concentrate on the things that
Speaker 2: divide us instead of the things that unite us. In
Speaker 2: sports are supposed to unite us, not separate us into
Speaker 2: race groups or gender groups or any other groups. We're
Speaker 2: just fans. We just want to see a good game,
Speaker 2: wild man.
Speaker 6: It's a part of our earth day life, you know.
Speaker 7: And to bring in something from the outside and bring
Speaker 7: that kind of crap up and kind of supposed to
Speaker 7: be a release from me every day, you know, the
Speaker 7: burdens of the work, work, world, whatever, and to bring
Speaker 7: that up, I has no business whatsoever. I was so
Speaker 7: steemed if I have been Elvis out of shot a
Speaker 7: hole in the TV.
Speaker 2: It might wild Man, it might have been a valid
Speaker 2: question in nineteen sixty four or sixty five. We're talking
Speaker 2: about sixty years on. You don't need to separate us
Speaker 2: by skin pigmentation. And the left do it over and
Speaker 2: over and over again in ESPN is one of the
Speaker 2: leading symptoms of that disease as a media entity, and
Speaker 2: they do it all the time.
Speaker 6: Yeaman, you're right. His answer was class all the way.
Speaker 2: His answer was perfect, Jenny. I think I think that
Speaker 2: any coach should be excited, white, black, or any other
Speaker 2: coach would be excited to be in this position. And
Speaker 2: he's he's right.
Speaker 7: And by the way, in ESPN, by the way, drop
Speaker 7: the ball because Marcus Freeman is Asian, He's.
Speaker 2: Not black, he's Asian. Well, then they see it characteristics
Speaker 2: and obviously you fit into some group and must check
Speaker 2: some box, wild man, just like they just like they
Speaker 2: tried to sell us that Kamala Harris was black when
Speaker 2: she was Jamaican an Indian not either. Uh so.
Speaker 6: Eight day you get out? Did you see her at
Speaker 6: the funeral for Jimmy Carter?
Speaker 2: Being totally ignored, Being totally ignored, by everybody else and
Speaker 2: just sitting there in the chairs, steaming, going, I can't
Speaker 2: wait to get out of here.
Speaker 6: Put these cameras on me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And she looked behind us, old Trump and Obama
Speaker 7: cracking jokes.
Speaker 6: That look on her face. It looks good kill all
Speaker 6: that was pless.
Speaker 2: It was indeed, it was indeed, all right, wild man,
Speaker 2: Let's ask uh, Let's ask you about the Bengals going forward.
Speaker 2: Lou Anaerumo and that whole coaching block is gone. Zach
Speaker 2: Taylor's still there. This is Zach Taylor's year. Either they
Speaker 2: get it together. Either they I think if they Bengals
Speaker 2: don't start the season three and oh Zach is gone,
Speaker 2: what do you think do you think they'll pull the
Speaker 2: trigger that quickly?
Speaker 9: That's a valid question there, because Zach Taylor's record is stinks,
Speaker 9: stinks to begin the season. The last three four years
Speaker 9: they've they've started out, they've started out terrible. Zach Taylor
Speaker 9: is on the hot seat, I believe, because he's claiming
Speaker 9: this was his decision to get rid of the defensive coaches.
Speaker 6: And he got rid of two more yesterday.
Speaker 7: If you're if you're not aware of that, So they
Speaker 7: got rid of two more coaches Mark Duffener and Louis
Speaker 7: Chophi who had been around there for so long.
Speaker 9: Uh, just I think just be taking a paycheck. So
Speaker 9: they've cleaned their they've cleaned house. I don't know who
Speaker 9: they're going to bring in.
Speaker 6: I have no idea. Uh, it's up to Zach Taylor
Speaker 6: to decide what he wants.
Speaker 9: It's a good job to have considering, especially if the
Speaker 9: Bengals have the brains to re sign t Higgins and
Speaker 9: hopefully keeping Joseki around, because there's the way to get
Speaker 9: around them. There's a way to get around the salary
Speaker 9: capain Jerry Jeff Let's not forol anybody the other teams
Speaker 9: do it.
Speaker 6: And Mike Brown I hate to bring this up.
Speaker 9: He's not getting any younger, so somebody needs to get
Speaker 9: to him to say, Mike, you know, we'd love to
Speaker 9: get your Super Bowl championship, but you got to loosen
Speaker 9: the purse strings. And what are the Bengals worths? Nine
Speaker 9: billion dollars something like that. They've got the money, they've
Speaker 9: got the money.
Speaker 2: Well, wisely, just signing players and spending the money doesn't
Speaker 2: always get it done. I E. Dallas, Jerry Jones right,
Speaker 2: got plenty of money, spreads it around, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: equal w's well.
Speaker 7: Speaking of Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy couldn't have come to
Speaker 7: the agreement.
Speaker 6: On a contract. So now the job's open.
Speaker 7: And couldn't we see because he has made comments about it,
Speaker 7: the one, the only Deon Sanders going there to be
Speaker 7: the head coach.
Speaker 2: Oh, man, I don't know if Neon Dion has has
Speaker 2: the chops yet. I mean, just a few years of
Speaker 2: college coaching. Yeah, he's been successful. He's obviously a Dallas
Speaker 2: Cowboy through and through. And you know, speaking of Homer
Speaker 2: choices for coaches, how about Mike Vrabel going back to
Speaker 2: New England Patriots.
Speaker 9: This is I thought that was a great I was
Speaker 9: a great move by the Patriots.
Speaker 2: He's he just got to entered into the their their
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor, their personal Patriots Hall of Fame. He's
Speaker 2: part of their Super Bowl runs. And I think this
Speaker 2: is what held him back the whole time at Tennessee,
Speaker 2: because he wasn't as committed to that job as he
Speaker 2: will be the Patriots job, I believe.
Speaker 9: Oh, he's well respected to around the NFL. And the
Speaker 9: Patriots didn't waste any didn't waste any time back to
Speaker 9: back to Dion real quick, that's a that's a you know,
Speaker 9: if he decided to take that job, that is such
Speaker 9: a huge step because now you're dealing with multimillion dollar athletes,
Speaker 9: not college kids. And I've heard Dion say time and
Speaker 9: time again that he loves it in Colorado. So you know,
Speaker 9: let's let's uh, we'll play. We'll play the game of
Speaker 9: waiting to see what they what's going to go on down.
Speaker 2: In the Big d. Anything else on your radar as
Speaker 2: we exit this Monday night, I got a couple of
Speaker 2: minutes left the wild Man. You have a soapbox, please
Speaker 2: use it to preach.
Speaker 9: Oh well, opening days not that far away, and Spring
Speaker 9: training is like like less than thirty days away for
Speaker 9: the Reds. Report in the lovely Goodyear, Arizona.
Speaker 6: Out the Good Year.
Speaker 2: No, I've never been out to good Year.
Speaker 7: It's in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing to do,
Speaker 7: there's no night life whatsoever. I'm still pissed that the Bengals,
Speaker 7: i mean, the Reds love Sarasota.
Speaker 6: They should be in Sarasota, Florida. They really should.
Speaker 9: It's hard for the average Reds fan to go out
Speaker 9: to good Year Arizona cost them an arm in a leg,
Speaker 9: and you're first born if you want to go out
Speaker 9: to Good Year Arizona to take in his Red spring
Speaker 9: training games when you can just drove down to Sarasota.
Speaker 9: I'm still mad that the reg left Sarasota. They didn't
Speaker 9: want to vote on the stadium. It's set vacant for
Speaker 9: a year. Then the city fathers go oh oh.
Speaker 7: Or tourist money. We don't have any tourists money. So
Speaker 7: what do they do. They go out and build a
Speaker 7: new stadium, and the Baltimore Oriols jump in there and
Speaker 7: take and take that stadium where the Reds should still
Speaker 7: be in Sarazota. But I never mind. I'm still mad
Speaker 7: about that. I've been out the Good Year three different times.
Speaker 6: Oh so you have you have been though?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 7: I went out there on the Company Dime into the
Speaker 7: first year that they were there, and then I went
Speaker 7: out on another year with my son for his twenty
Speaker 7: first birthday because we went to Vegas. Then we went
Speaker 7: the Goodyear, and then I went out on another time
Speaker 7: on the WEBN Dime where we did a road trip
Speaker 7: in the car across the cross country. So I've been
Speaker 7: out there three different three three four times. Yeah, I've
Speaker 7: been out there four times. I was right there.
Speaker 6: I there before COVID hit though, before COVID hit Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I got to ask you. Who was in the
Speaker 2: car with you on the trip out to Goodyear, Arizona
Speaker 2: from WEBN. Who did you share that ride with? Wild Man?
Speaker 7: It was just me and my son. We were blogging
Speaker 7: and doing reports all out there.
Speaker 6: Just me and my son.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought, and his brand new and his brand
Speaker 7: new Mustang.
Speaker 2: I thought maybe you had dolphin or Eddy fingers in
Speaker 2: the trunk.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't go anywhere with dolphin. Are you kidding that?
Speaker 6: He's too That's too big time. He wouldn't do it. No,
Speaker 6: that is too big time.
Speaker 2: All right? Uh well, wild Man as always interesting conversation.
Speaker 6: Uh well, she should be in Sarrizota. Dammit.
Speaker 2: We'll see who wins the Vikings Rams game, which is
Speaker 2: being played right now as we speak, and get that
Speaker 2: final matchup for next week's round of playoffs in the
Speaker 2: National Football League. And I'm I hate to be great.
Speaker 2: I hate to tell you this because I know it's
Speaker 2: going to infuriate you, but I think a week from tonight,
Speaker 2: Notre Dame will be losing to Ohio State. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: based on what, based on the eye test, based on what.
Speaker 7: Because they said Texas should have beat him.
Speaker 6: That stupid play.
Speaker 7: Call by the Texas coach.
Speaker 6: The second down in golds run and play. They called,
Speaker 6: my god, the guy was ten yards behind him.
Speaker 2: The only, the only reason, the only reason Notre Dame
Speaker 2: one was the stupid past in the down the middle.
Speaker 6: Well they had to throw the ball anyway at that time.
Speaker 2: It was a stupid pass that Notre Dame intercepted, and
Speaker 2: then they went and scored the winning field goals.
Speaker 6: So I'm taking.
Speaker 5: I'm taking.
Speaker 6: I'm taking the Irish. I'm taking the Irish.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe a week from tomorrow, on the twenty first,

Speaker 13: a first degree misdemeanor. This after he originally faced eight
Speaker 13: counts of a hiccular manslaughter. Compton was traveling north on
Speaker 13: the bridge and tried to pass another vehicle in the
Speaker 13: central lane, but at the time it had a red
Speaker 13: X indicator, which meant northbound traffic was not allowed to
Speaker 13: use that lane. This led to Compton kalidney head on
Speaker 13: with a southbound vehicle driven by twenty five year old
Speaker 13: John Pinkerton, who died after arriving to UC Medical Center.
Speaker 13: Two other people were injured, as Compton and a passenger
Speaker 13: in his vehicle also required hospitalization. Compton not facing up
Speaker 13: to one hundred and eighty days in jail when he sentenced.

Speaker 13: The game moved due to the Southern California wildfires, and
Speaker 13: right now, with just over a minute left until halftime,
Speaker 13: it's the Rams leading the Vikings seventeen to three. Our
Speaker 13: next update is at ten o'clock. I'm Sean Galviagher News
Speaker 13: Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 5: Millions of America.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, if you.
Speaker 2: Hear any noise, ain't the boys. It's Ladies' night for
Speaker 2: the next hour and a half. When the Nightcap a
Speaker 2: little cool in the gang never hurt anybody. In fact,
Speaker 2: President Trump could use this instead of YMCA. Maybe do
Speaker 2: the same dance Gary, Jeff and welcoming in this next guest,
Speaker 2: the first of our trio of smart, strong women on
Speaker 2: the Nightcap tonight is Representative from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Speaker 2: She is a state representative, there has been and she
Speaker 2: proudly represents.
Speaker 6: Is it the.
Speaker 2: Sixty first district?
Speaker 8: It is?
Speaker 2: Yes, see, I remembered Savannah Maddox is joining us once again.
Speaker 2: I've always enjoyed our conversation Savannah and tonight, especially it's
Speaker 2: the first Monday night of the new year with new
Speaker 2: shows and to have you on it just it makes
Speaker 2: my day and my night.
Speaker 6: So thanks.
Speaker 8: It is an absolute privilege to be on with you.
Speaker 2: It's great to have you back though, and happy New Year.
Speaker 8: Number one, thank you you as well.
Speaker 2: So and the new year means a new legislative session
Speaker 2: in Frankfort. It has begun and there's all kinds of
Speaker 2: craziness already being brought up, and not just by Democrats,
Speaker 2: to talk about some of that. Let's go ahead, Savannah,
Speaker 2: what have you seen so far in this early legislative session?
Speaker 2: What do you know? What's what bills are going to
Speaker 2: be talked about? What are you concerned about? What are
Speaker 2: you in favor of that? All of that stuff as
Speaker 2: we begin the new session.
Speaker 13: So far, the.
Speaker 8: Recurren theme that I am seeing is that legislators are
Speaker 8: filing more bills to lower taxes, adjust taxes, things of
Speaker 8: that nature. The only vote that we have taken so far,
Speaker 8: the only substantive vote other than rules and convening in
Speaker 8: things of that nature, is to lower the income tax
Speaker 8: rate from four percent to three point five percent. So
Speaker 8: that's what we've done so far. Several of us in
Speaker 8: Northern Kentucky were supportive of an amendment that would have
Speaker 8: taken that income tax down a full percent every year
Speaker 8: moving forward until we eventually reached zero, because that has
Speaker 8: been the goal, the state goal of the Republican supermajorities
Speaker 8: to eliminate the income tax. But unfortunately that amendment was
Speaker 8: ruled out of order, so we weren't able to accomplish that.
Speaker 16: But.
Speaker 6: Ruled out of order. Who ruled it out of order?
Speaker 8: The Speaker of the House ruled it out of order.
Speaker 8: So but the good news is this, when we come back,
Speaker 8: I think that we're going to see similar efforts over
Speaker 8: in the state.
Speaker 17: Senate to do just that.
Speaker 2: Wow, and the Speaker of the House happens to be
Speaker 2: a Republican.
Speaker 6: Correct, Yes, Yes, what is the speaker's name?
Speaker 8: I'm just curious, Speaker Born, what's that speaker David Osborne?
Speaker 2: Oh, speaker David Osborne. I think it's important that the
Speaker 2: voter know who the speaker is is ruling an amendment
Speaker 2: to eliminate the income tax in Kentucky is out of order. No,
Speaker 2: that is all good news though, as far as reducing
Speaker 2: taxes or adjusting taxes, so it makes it a little
Speaker 2: bit more palatable for the taxpayer to live and work
Speaker 2: in Kentucky. I'll get that. But there are in every
Speaker 2: legislative session, Savannah, and you know this better than I do,
Speaker 2: there are always some kind of crazy government control bills
Speaker 2: of foot and rumors of them, and surveillance bills. And
Speaker 2: you know, people forget sadly that we have a governor
Speaker 2: that actually wanted to keep you out of church in
Speaker 2: the name of public safety and was having sheriff's deputies
Speaker 2: reporting license plate numbers of people who violated his dictates
Speaker 2: in his order. People have a very very short memory.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that the Teachers' union alone could re
Speaker 2: elect Andy Basher, and yet it happened. But have you
Speaker 2: heard about any any kind of anti anti republic bills
Speaker 2: that are alive or maybe rumored to be brought up
Speaker 2: but maybe by the Democrat legislator.
Speaker 8: So the way that the thirty day session works is
Speaker 8: that we go in for just one week and then
Speaker 8: we take this pretty substantial break before part two obsessions.
Speaker 8: So there have only been four legislative days and in
Speaker 8: that first week, you know, it's kind of a honeymoon
Speaker 8: period of session, if you will. And so much as
Speaker 8: a lot of that nanny state garbage really starts to
Speaker 8: come when we get back. I mean, we have the
Speaker 8: normal bills that Democrats have filed that are, you know,
Speaker 8: in my opinion, objectionable. But for the most part, the
Speaker 8: types of bills that you're talking about that I'm going
Speaker 8: to soon be squawking about will come out in early
Speaker 8: February in all likelihood, and you know, I remain ever vigilant,
Speaker 8: but to be honest with you, I'm still kind of
Speaker 8: trying to fix some of the things that occurred last year,
Speaker 8: and in particular the situation where the Kentucky General Assembly
Speaker 8: banned e cigarette vap products and it's caused colossal damage
Speaker 8: to Kentucky's small businesses. I mean, hundreds of businesses have
Speaker 8: been put out of business, thousands of jobs, and we're
Speaker 8: talking about sixty three million estimated impact in terms of
Speaker 8: revenue that the states just leaving on the table because
Speaker 8: of what I view as the overreach of government. So
Speaker 8: I have legislation, how still sixty two and sixty three.
Speaker 8: One would suspend that law that they have passed and
Speaker 8: the other would outright repeal it. That's the one I'm
Speaker 8: hoping for. But you know, again, I don't think that
Speaker 8: it's the appropriate role of government to pick winners and
Speaker 8: losers like we have seen with that legislation, and I'm
Speaker 8: going to keep fighting for that in northern Kentucky across
Speaker 8: the Commonwealth, there are a lot of people who are
Speaker 8: upset because I don't vape, I don't smoke, I don't
Speaker 8: do any of those things. But I also don't want
Speaker 8: a corrupt nanny state government to pick winners and losers
Speaker 8: in the free market.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's one thing to tell people what
Speaker 2: you know, the scientific facts about what's harmful you, harmful
Speaker 2: for you, or what is good for you. It's quite
Speaker 2: another thing to legislate that. And that's what you're talking
Speaker 2: about with the nanny state stuff, Savannah. And I got
Speaker 2: to think that there's still a very strong tobacco lobby
Speaker 2: in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and those people absolutely would
Speaker 2: be against vaping because it cuts into their business. Do
Speaker 2: you find that the tobacco lobby has the ear of
Speaker 2: legislators in those counties where tobacco has always been king
Speaker 2: or been king for a long time. Obviously, tobacco has
Speaker 2: been vilified and been pointed out to be a health hazard,
Speaker 2: but I don't see any moves to ban the sale
Speaker 2: of cigarettes.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, and that is why the shield is covered. That
Speaker 8: many legislators chose last session to vote on this bill
Speaker 8: being harm reduction, it's such a farce. The big tobacco
Speaker 8: lobbyists pen over five hundred thousand dollars pushing for this bill,
Speaker 8: which is something that I put out there in the
Speaker 8: open for the public and also in the context of
Speaker 8: a floor speech, I made it abundantly clear that no
Speaker 8: matter what the sponsor of this bill was saying, this
Speaker 8: was going to ban all of these products that people
Speaker 8: are purchasing and put these small businesses out of business.
Speaker 8: And that's exactly what happened. And you know, to your
Speaker 8: point about harm reduction and the nanny state overreach, you know,
Speaker 8: the appropriate role of government, whether it's COVID or whether
Speaker 8: it's any of these other instances, is to provide accurate,
Speaker 8: up to date information. It's not to ban things. And
Speaker 8: that's where I take issue because I've never had a
Speaker 8: problem with the tobacco industry or any industry. These are
Speaker 8: choices that people are making, and again, up to date
Speaker 8: accurate information, not banning. But I still don't like the
Speaker 8: premise of lobbyists being able to come in and you know,
Speaker 8: create a situation where there are winners and losers by
Speaker 8: virtue of using the force of government and the General Assembly, no.
Speaker 2: Doubt about it. Talking to Savannah Mannics on Ladies' Night
Speaker 2: at least until eleven o'clock on the Nightcap, I mean,
Speaker 2: ladies can listen. After eleven o'clock. Our guests just won't
Speaker 2: be women. So Savannah, if you will sit tight, we'll
Speaker 2: come back and talk about some more stuff, and you know,
Speaker 2: including the marijuana initiatives in Kentucky as we get into
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five legislative session in the Commonwealth where
Speaker 2: I live. It's the Nightcap and we continue with Savannah
Speaker 2: Matticks in just a moment on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 12: Meanwhile, in the intented Forest, the princess holds a ceremony
Speaker 12: and Sir Racky.
Speaker 5: Why, thank you, your majesty. This is quite the armor.
Speaker 15: Now off you go.
Speaker 5: Well this is it? You mean, we don't get a
Speaker 5: castle or anything.
Speaker 18: What you get is to go back to the radio
Speaker 18: station and entertain your millions of listeners.
Speaker 2: See oh body beat it.
Speaker 6: Well that's one cranky princess.
Speaker 5: I heard that. Buster Edy and Rocky give your day
Speaker 5: a fairy Tale and Eddie.
Speaker 19: And Rock Tomorrow afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: O'm a Ladies' night night cap. Gary Jeff Here on
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW. No reduced drink prices. In fact, we
Speaker 2: don't have drinks at all because it's the radio and
Speaker 2: we don't have a license. But hey, if we did, Savannah,
Speaker 2: you'd be getting three for one. I guarantee. We want
Speaker 2: to go back to the Kentucky legislative session and stuff
Speaker 2: that's already been instituted, like medicinal marijuana in Kentucky. This
Speaker 2: is something that a lot of people lobbied for and
Speaker 2: campaign for petition for for a long long time, especially
Speaker 2: since Ohio now has medicinal recreational there's weed everywhere just
Speaker 2: across the river. Do you think, just personally, is this
Speaker 2: something that is late incoming for the commonwealth or do
Speaker 2: you think it's been done judiciously and trying to see
Speaker 2: all the facts that are in front of us. Just
Speaker 2: how do you feel about medicinal marijuana and will they
Speaker 2: ever get it straightened out? Because it's taken some time
Speaker 2: to institute.
Speaker 8: That's the thing. The implementation of this program has been
Speaker 8: nebulous at best, and I have received a multitude of
Speaker 8: complaints from people who filed for a license and paid
Speaker 8: a fee, and there have been and you know, to
Speaker 8: be clear, I have not been intimately involved with that process,
Speaker 8: because once it leaves the legislatures in it becomes an
Speaker 8: administrative function. You know, some might use the word bureaucratic function.
Speaker 8: But long story short, Kentuckians were overwhelmingly clear that although
Speaker 8: there was some opposition, and without a doubt strong opposition,
Speaker 8: but for the most part, Kentuckians were overwhelmingly clear that
Speaker 8: they wanted to enact medicinal marijuana. But one of the
Speaker 8: concerns that legislators had at that time about the legislation
Speaker 8: is that it created barriers and a lot of hoops
Speaker 8: to jump through, and I think we're seeing that in
Speaker 8: real time. And of course, we had a bill last
Speaker 8: session that allowed county governments to decide whether or not
Speaker 8: their county would participate in the program. So that actually
Speaker 8: added an additional layer, an additional barrier kind of to
Speaker 8: overcome for some of these areas. So I think it'll
Speaker 8: be interesting to see if any tweaks are made to
Speaker 8: that policy this session or what that looks like. I
Speaker 8: have not yet heard anything along those lines, but that
Speaker 8: remains to be seen.
Speaker 2: Well, shouldn't it be a community standards issue instead of
Speaker 2: a state issue anyway? Should in towns and communities decide
Speaker 2: with the people who live there decide whether they're going
Speaker 2: to allow this or not. I mean, it's kind of
Speaker 2: like the states and federal law, where you know, the
Speaker 2: federal laws is one thing, but each individual state. You know,
Speaker 2: the Dobbs decision when it came to abortion, gave that
Speaker 2: issue back to the states, and locally people decide in
Speaker 2: their area and their neighborhood and their town and their
Speaker 2: county whether or not they're going to allow something that
Speaker 2: heretofore has been illegal, or you know, a social topic
Speaker 2: that has not agreed upon by all. Do you see
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I understand why you would want a
Speaker 2: chance to opt out.
Speaker 8: Sure, well, And it's funny. One of the bigger conundrums
Speaker 8: of my time serving an office is that in Frankfort's
Speaker 8: local control that they will often say local control's best
Speaker 8: until it isn't, meaning that they pretty well decide.
Speaker 17: They'll use the.
Speaker 8: Argument of local control when they don't want to take
Speaker 8: action on something and don't want to take that hard vote,
Speaker 8: but any other time they are perfectly willing to march
Speaker 8: in and take control from counties on issues that certainly
Speaker 8: should be at the county and local level. But the
Speaker 8: issue of medicinal marijuana is particularly interesting because yes, I
Speaker 8: would agree with you on the premise of local control,
Speaker 8: but we still have this question of federal control on
Speaker 8: this issue as well, so that becomes a little bit
Speaker 8: more complicated. But you know, I do think that Kentucky
Speaker 8: is on track to get a program role out that
Speaker 8: will be beneficial. It's just going to take some time.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think we can both think of a
Speaker 8: program that's been under ray for several years that isn't
Speaker 8: really on track or doesn't seem to be working out well.
Speaker 8: And I'm of course talking about the real id implementation
Speaker 8: in the regional offices that I kind of liken that
Speaker 8: to this circumstance. If anytime that we pass a bill
Speaker 8: and we kind of put it over to administrative control
Speaker 8: within a cabinet, there's gonna usually be some follow up
Speaker 8: work on that to hopefully improve it.
Speaker 2: Somebody told me, and they're an individual rights kind of person,
Speaker 2: you know, sovereign kind of individual person, and they told
Speaker 2: me that the real ID, they cannot keep you from
Speaker 2: getting on a plane. Yeah, I think they told me
Speaker 2: you got like three strikes and then they'll crack down
Speaker 2: on it. But supposedly, what may first twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: you can't hop on a plane in Kentucky unless you've
Speaker 2: got this real ID. Let's talk about that and talk
Speaker 2: about I don't know. I have great problems with this myself. Thankfully,
Speaker 2: I don't fly very often. And you know, especially when
Speaker 2: you've cut illegal immigrants being flown all across the country
Speaker 2: with no ID whatsoever at their whim by our tax dollars,
Speaker 2: and you're going to make me, as an American citizen,
Speaker 2: jump through all these hoops just to have this ID
Speaker 2: that says I can get on a plane. To me,
Speaker 2: this is utterly ridiculous, Savannah.
Speaker 8: It is utterly ridiculous. And it goes back to a
Speaker 8: knee jerk reaction all the way twenty years ago in
Speaker 8: two thousand and five, after nine to eleven, where the
Speaker 8: federal government decided that they needed to clamp down on,
Speaker 8: you know, law abiding citizens and make us jump through
Speaker 8: all these hoops. But it took twenty years to get
Speaker 8: all of the states on board, and there were many holdouts.
Speaker 8: Kentucky with the holdout for a long time under governor
Speaker 8: by then he held out and held out and finally relented.
Speaker 8: But in Kentucky, we had previously administered the driver's license
Speaker 8: program through the administrative Office of the Court, i e.
Speaker 8: Your circuit clerks, right.
Speaker 20: So what they did they took.
Speaker 8: That out from under the circuit clerks because they tried
Speaker 8: a pilot program of issuing these real IDs, and in
Speaker 8: excuse me, Fayette and Woodford Counties, that pilot program purportedly
Speaker 8: was unsuccessful.
Speaker 17: So they took it out.
Speaker 8: From under them, and they created these regional offices, and
Speaker 8: that out in eastern Kentucky, for example, folks were having
Speaker 8: to drive three hours just to renew their driver's license,
Speaker 8: and you know, in some of the rural counties, they're
Speaker 8: having to drive pretty far. I mean, I'm fortunate that
Speaker 8: I've got Burlington and Independence not too far away, you know,
Speaker 8: here in the sixty first House district. But it has
Speaker 8: been difficult and for people to get appointments, and I
Speaker 8: was able to get an appointment pretty easily and get through,
Speaker 8: but not everybody wants this real idea. And I would
Speaker 8: like to remind folks that they can still get a
Speaker 8: standard issue driver's license, but that is not going to
Speaker 8: be sufficient, like you said, to get on an airplane
Speaker 8: or to go into certain types of federal buildings. But
Speaker 8: you can use a passport to do that if you
Speaker 8: choose not to have your driver's license have the chip.
Speaker 8: And that's what I'm going to elect to do, is
Speaker 8: to use the passport instead of the driver's license, because
Speaker 8: I just would prefer a standard one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's again, that's quite a hoop to jump
Speaker 2: through for if you don't have a passport already. You
Speaker 2: have to provide the same kind of information basically that
Speaker 2: you have to provide for a real ID. I just
Speaker 2: find it, say it's a great invasion of my privacy personally,
Speaker 2: but that's me also generally, I agree. January first, just
Speaker 2: twelve days ago, you have to complete a vision test
Speaker 2: to get a driver's license in Kentucky. Now, Savannah, mind you.
Speaker 2: I will tell tell you that I see people every
Speaker 2: day with Kentucky tags who obviously can't see. So I
Speaker 2: think that it's a good thing that you prove you
Speaker 2: can actually see to drive. Okay, let's but are these
Speaker 2: driver's license centers, the courthouses and the like where you
Speaker 2: can get a vision screening test. Right there are they
Speaker 2: also going to open up in America's best office so
Speaker 2: you can get the cheap glasses you need if you
Speaker 2: need them to pass your test. This is what I
Speaker 2: want to know that.
Speaker 8: That's one of the big problems with that I have
Speaker 8: with that bill. I actually voted no on that. I
Speaker 8: agree with you, people need to see when they get
Speaker 8: behind the wheel.
Speaker 21: But if you.
Speaker 8: Look at these statistics from the National Highway Foundation, I
Speaker 8: didn't say that right, I didn't give you the right
Speaker 8: accident racornym for that. But long story short, if you
Speaker 8: look at that data is not even listed among the
Speaker 8: top causes of motor vehicle accidents National Highway Safety. There,
Speaker 8: I got it anyhow, it's not even listed. So the
Speaker 8: idea though, of implementing that at a time whenever we're
Speaker 8: already having problems with these regional offices. And one of
Speaker 8: the things that they had said about the regional offices
Speaker 8: is oh, you can renew online. Well, with a vision
Speaker 8: screen you're not going to be able to do that anymore. Frankly,
Speaker 8: you know, making folks do stuff online or presenting that
Speaker 8: as a side option. You know, it may be good
Speaker 8: for some people, but there are a lot of folks,
Speaker 8: particularly the older folks in our community, are people who
Speaker 8: choose not to conduct business on the internet. You know,
Speaker 8: they need to be able to go to an in
Speaker 8: person location that's not super far. But you know, I
Speaker 8: worry about that as well with that implementation, and even
Speaker 8: at one point, I remember when that bill was being lobbied,
Speaker 8: the optomologists and the optometrists initially had a problem with
Speaker 8: it because you are giving folks a false and security
Speaker 8: about their vision health by you know, them thinking that, oh,
Speaker 8: I took this vision screening, so I'm good when they're
Speaker 8: a if other conditions, I'm obviously not a position. But
Speaker 8: there are other conditions that your optometrist screams for that
Speaker 8: aren't going to show up on that standard vision screening.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I wasn't for that. But hey, we will
Speaker 8: agree that you definitely should be able to see well
Speaker 8: before operating a motor vehicle. We will agree there.
Speaker 2: Well, and you should be able to pay attention if
Speaker 2: I see somebody else and I will probably on my
Speaker 2: way home tonight holding up their phone while they're driving
Speaker 2: down the interstate and switching lanes. There have been times, Savannah,
Speaker 2: I wanted to pull them right over and make a
Speaker 2: citizens to rest. But thank you so much for being
Speaker 2: part of our little Ladies Night here, and thank you
Speaker 2: so much. I hope it will have many more chances
Speaker 2: to talk in the new year.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, thanks so much.

Speaker 13: says it's an important part of the process to fix
Speaker 13: the I for seventy one bridge, as the most crucial
Speaker 13: step is being the pouring of the concrete deck, which
Speaker 13: could be tricky during the cold months.
Speaker 22: Especially with doing concrete deck purse. We never do those
Speaker 22: in the winter months. We only do those during, you know,
Speaker 22: typically the warm weather months. So our contractor's great Lex Construction,
Speaker 22: They've got a great plan in place that we hope
Speaker 22: that will work, that they can actually pour the concrete
Speaker 22: in these colder temperatures.

Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Nightcap on seven hundred WLW. Garry,
Speaker 2: Jeff and I've been waiting for this conversation. I had
Speaker 2: to actually I don't know what happened. Then you were
Speaker 2: going to have her last week and had to put
Speaker 2: it off. But it is a conversation that needs to
Speaker 2: be had whenever it can be had, as germane to America,
Speaker 2: to its children, to its parents, to its citizens, to
Speaker 2: its future. And that is all of the money that
Speaker 2: has been spent on DEI by the government in education.
Speaker 2: You know, you hear about DEI and how the big
Speaker 2: corporations are not They're firing all of their DEI hires
Speaker 2: because they realize that it's a road to nowhere. Is
Speaker 2: the federal government so slow on the uptake that they
Speaker 2: can't see what the trend is and what the people
Speaker 2: actually want. They should since the election of November fifth,
Speaker 2: understand that the woke go broke, the DEI should be
Speaker 2: doa mentality is here in America. Among us finally, a
Speaker 2: majority of people have had enough. And along with that
Speaker 2: the pushing of porn in America's classlassrooms in public schools
Speaker 2: in many, many states. More than I even imagined that.
Speaker 2: Its shocked me to find out that there as many
Speaker 2: as thirty nine states in the country that allowed basically
Speaker 2: what anyone would call porn in their children's classrooms. This
Speaker 2: is a psychological pedophilia in my mind that has been
Speaker 2: perpetrated in part by the federal government, and it's time
Speaker 2: to end. And toward that end, our guest is Elena Barbera,
Speaker 2: also known as the Based Mother, a leading advocate for
Speaker 2: parental rights and anti grooming, a Christian mom, an author,
Speaker 2: a documentary filmmaker. The documentary film is called American Groomer,
Speaker 2: and you can see Elena in that as she narrates
Speaker 2: with other guests from groups like Gays Against Groomers and
Speaker 2: other people who are concerned about not just this nonsense,
Speaker 2: but at this anti human, anti American kind of push
Speaker 2: that has been going on now for far too long.
Speaker 2: Elena Barbera, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 17: I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 11: So yeah, this push that you're talking about that's happening
Speaker 11: to our children, I mean, I don't even know where
Speaker 11: to begin when you're talking about the DEI and the
Speaker 11: pornography and the transgender ideology, teaching children to hate themselves
Speaker 11: at every level. Hate yourself if you're white, hate yourself
Speaker 11: if you're black, because you're being oppressed, and also hate
Speaker 11: the oppressor. Then hate the body you're born in. Distrust
Speaker 11: your parents because they may have assigned you the wrong
Speaker 11: sex at birth, and they or when they assigned your
Speaker 11: sex at birth, they assigned you the wrong gender. So
Speaker 11: don't trust them. You know, come talk to your teachers.
Speaker 11: You can keep secrets with strangers, and it's good to
Speaker 11: do that, to keep secrets from your parents, because they
Speaker 11: don't really unders stand you. I mean, hate America. It
Speaker 11: just goes on and on, like it's just this massive
Speaker 11: indoctrination machine.
Speaker 17: And how does the American, average American fight it.
Speaker 6: Well, I feel like we are.
Speaker 2: We have turned a corner a little bit just in
Speaker 2: the last six months to a year because of people
Speaker 2: like you, and because you know, groups like yours are
Speaker 2: getting the message out and people are understanding and they're
Speaker 2: shocked to find out. I'm not a parent, so I
Speaker 2: don't have any little boy or little girl coming to
Speaker 2: me and go, Danny, this is what they're teaching us
Speaker 2: in school. But I know that it's going on, and
Speaker 2: it just even though I'm not a parent. You and
Speaker 2: I were talking, Elena, it still should matter a great
Speaker 2: deal to me as an American citizen, as a taxpayer,
Speaker 2: that my tax dollars have been going to this nonsense,
Speaker 2: the DEI crap. Now by by almost a billion dollars
Speaker 2: in grants according to the figures I've seen on DEI
Speaker 2: based education grants, millions in Minnesota. No surprise that they
Speaker 2: picked Tim Walls as their vice presidential candidate. Who who
Speaker 2: believes in tampo and tampons and boys' bathrooms the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice. Now, now, what the hell does the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice have to do pardon my language, in spending
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars plus pushing DEI and what they
Speaker 2: call restorative justice in our classrooms. I thought the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice was about upholding the rule of law in
Speaker 2: the country. I guess I was wrong.
Speaker 11: So they have this little piece of their missions of
Speaker 11: their Mission States statement where they talk about, you know,
Speaker 11: upholding civil rights.
Speaker 17: So what you know, this whole DEI.
Speaker 11: Thing, a lot of it is saying that people are,
Speaker 11: you know, their rights are in jeopardy, which is an
Speaker 11: absolute lie. Every American citizen has every right that they
Speaker 11: could possibly want or need on the you know, to
Speaker 11: live for one hundred years and in the pursuit of happiness,
Speaker 11: and so it's a lie right there. So now the
Speaker 11: Department of Justice has these departments within them which is
Speaker 11: all about DEI and try, and you know, state sanctioned discrimination,
Speaker 11: which is all it really is.
Speaker 17: And so you know, they.
Speaker 11: Take their lies and then they're yous twisting that civil
Speaker 11: rights angle to make it seem like children's rights are
Speaker 11: being violated and they need to teach them about it.
Speaker 11: And that's the only line that can be drawn to
Speaker 11: why the DOJ would be doing this. If they got
Speaker 11: rid of their crazy DEI department, they would have no
Speaker 11: connection to this whatsoever.
Speaker 17: It's very disturbing.
Speaker 2: Well, I would I would think as a parent, as
Speaker 2: a loving parent, you would want your children to have
Speaker 2: reinforce values that you teach in them the home, that
Speaker 2: would tell them to be proud and strong and not
Speaker 2: ashamed and weak. And that's as you mentioned, that's what
Speaker 2: DEI and CRT teaches, is that because you are white,
Speaker 2: or because you are black, or because you came from
Speaker 2: this ethnicity or this family or that family, that you
Speaker 2: are either somehow an oppressor or a victim. And this
Speaker 2: whole specter of victimology that's been pushed is only being pushed,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, to further divide us. And it's divide
Speaker 2: and conquer. It is Marxist, it is evil, it's what
Speaker 2: every communist totalitarian state does to a otherwise free state
Speaker 2: or country, a free republic like ours.
Speaker 6: It's all about.
Speaker 2: Dividing us and driving us apart. And most importantly and
Speaker 2: most sadly, it's about poisoning the future of a culture.
Speaker 2: It's about poisoning the next generation to tell them that
Speaker 2: the way you were born that doesn't matter, that can
Speaker 2: that can be changed. That's fluid, which is scientifically and
Speaker 2: spiritually a lie, as you mentioned.
Speaker 17: And it's just science fiction, is what it is.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's total science fiction. Or because you have white
Speaker 2: pigmented skin, somehow you are responsible. You yourself as an individual,
Speaker 2: are responsible for the hardships and the oppression of others. Again,
Speaker 2: total lies, totally done to drive wedges between people. When
Speaker 2: this country was built on individual rights and individual freedoms
Speaker 2: and and not not this group think and not these
Speaker 2: divisive kind of poly that have been pushed.
Speaker 6: How do we combat all that?
Speaker 11: Well, first, this is you know, one of the things
Speaker 11: that I'm trying to do is spread awareness about what's
Speaker 11: happening to our children. And people are in either in
Speaker 11: denial that it's happening, or they will say it maybe
Speaker 11: happening in a blue state somewhere, but that's certainly not
Speaker 11: happening here, which is absolute nonsense. Or they'll say something like, well,
Speaker 11: I don't have kids, so it's not my problem.
Speaker 17: So, you know, even if it is happening, And to
Speaker 17: all of.
Speaker 11: That, I say, first of all, this is happening in
Speaker 11: red states and blue states, in all fifty states actually,
Speaker 11: so it is legal to show pornography to children in
Speaker 11: schools and libraries in close to forty.
Speaker 17: States right now.
Speaker 11: But even in the states, which is a mind blowing
Speaker 11: statement that I can't believe is true, but it is.
Speaker 17: And then there's you know, even in the states where
Speaker 17: it's not legal, it's still.
Speaker 11: Happening because no one is stopping is coming out and
Speaker 11: stopping it.
Speaker 17: No prosecute or sheriffs are.
Speaker 11: Stopping it because they don't want to be called bigots
Speaker 11: and transphobes and racists, because they'll put pornography under you know,
Speaker 11: they'll wrap it in some you know, gender identity story
Speaker 11: and if you if you protest the pornography part of it,
Speaker 11: it's just that you're a transphobed. That's what they'll call you.
Speaker 11: So this is happening at such a rate and in
Speaker 11: such volume that it would blow your mind. So the
Speaker 11: first step is getting people aware of it, and then
Speaker 11: the next step is getting people to realize what they
Speaker 11: can do to stop it. Because you may say, oh,
Speaker 11: I don't have kids, but let me tell you. The
Speaker 11: trauma that we're putting on these kids with sexual grooming,
Speaker 11: which leads to physical sexual abuse and sex trafficking very quickly.
Speaker 11: The trauma that we're putting on them with teaching them
Speaker 11: to hate their country and hate themselves.
Speaker 17: And look at each other through racial lens.
Speaker 11: Only all of that in five, ten, fifteen years, these
Speaker 11: kids are going to grow up to be a bunch
Speaker 11: of defunct, mentally twisted adults who cannot get through life
Speaker 11: because of the trauma that they have been inflicted that's
Speaker 11: been inflicted upon them.
Speaker 17: So if we think we have a mental health crisis
Speaker 17: in our country.
Speaker 5: Now, just wait, just wait.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. And Elena Barbera, this current Department of Justice,
Speaker 2: this current Attorney General, Merrick Garland has famously, during his
Speaker 2: term in that position, called parents domestic terrorists because they
Speaker 2: were protesting at school boards in places like Loudon County,
Speaker 2: Virginia against this nonsense. And that's all it is. It's
Speaker 2: just nonsense that we're talking about the DEI and the CRT.
Speaker 2: And also, I think more traumatic is this porn that's
Speaker 2: being peddled. And you said thirty nine states allow porn
Speaker 2: in the classrooms, and it's happening in the other states
Speaker 2: where it's not allowed because, as you mentioned, law enforcement
Speaker 2: and sheriffs are afraid to be called names and bigots
Speaker 2: and transphobes and the like. And I'm telling you that
Speaker 2: to me, the first time I saw a video of
Speaker 2: the Drag Queen's Story Hour with these five year olds
Speaker 2: and this person who is all made up as a
Speaker 2: woman when it's simply not a woman, clearly not a woman,
Speaker 2: I thought that is that's pedophilia. We as a society
Speaker 2: make sex offenders register before they move into a new
Speaker 2: neighborhood if they've been convicted of a sex crime, particularly
Speaker 2: with children. How can we be in the same breath,
Speaker 2: how can we be allowing those same kind of perverts
Speaker 2: in classrooms to be pushing this ideology. That's the disconnect.
Speaker 2: I don't get why why aren't why aren't we Why
Speaker 2: aren't we requiring teachers to register as sex offenders when
Speaker 2: they push this nonsense on our kids.
Speaker 11: Hey, hey man, well again, because in most cases there
Speaker 11: is it's legal. They are criminally exempted. They're exempted from
Speaker 11: any criminal prosecution. What these statutes are called are obscenity
Speaker 11: exemption statutes, which means that you can show this to
Speaker 11: a child and it doesn't matter how hard the pornography is,
Speaker 11: it doesn't matter how young the child is. If you
Speaker 11: can say, well, this is part of part of our
Speaker 11: lesson today and it's part of his education. But there's
Speaker 11: no problem, no handcuffs. So I think what's happening is
Speaker 11: there's a larger push to normalize pedophilia.
Speaker 17: Look at the people who were saying that pedophiles. It's
Speaker 17: a mean word.
Speaker 11: It's mean to call them pedophiles, so we have to
Speaker 11: just call them minor attracted persons, you know. So to
Speaker 11: try to normalize everything, to try to normalize talking to
Speaker 11: children about sex. Now, you know, we're starting in tihood
Speaker 11: and pre k talking to children about their gender and
Speaker 11: how do they feel. Do they feel like a boy,
Speaker 11: do they feel like a girl, talking to them about
Speaker 11: their genitals and how they feel about it. I mean,
Speaker 11: I am not that old, but I am from I
Speaker 11: mean up until five minutes ago in history, anybody that
Speaker 11: came up to a toddler, a young or any child
Speaker 11: that started talking to them about their private parts was
Speaker 11: the town pariah. And they were probably going to be
Speaker 11: taken out back somewhere and beat to a pulp if
Speaker 11: they were allowed to even stay in town at all.
Speaker 17: I'm sorry to be so direct, but that's the truth.
Speaker 11: And now, all of a sudden, we have to embrace
Speaker 11: these people and let them have their voice.
Speaker 17: This is coming down from the White House.
Speaker 11: The teachers' unions, the American Library Association, the Human Rights Campaign,
Speaker 11: Plant Parenthood, and Seeks, and they all have influence in
Speaker 11: schools in all fifty states, and they all pressure teachers,
Speaker 11: even the ones that don't want to do it, to
Speaker 11: push this stuff because they hold their jobs over their
Speaker 11: heads and the rest of them they're in on it
Speaker 11: and they love it, and I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2: Teachers' unions are, in my opinion, one of the most
Speaker 2: evil factors in education today. And that's not saying anything
Speaker 2: bad about teachers. That's not saying anything bad about public education.
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of fact. Look at the things
Speaker 2: that teachers' unions, as you just brought up, support and
Speaker 2: push among their members. And it all starts at the
Speaker 2: top too. I mean, this is happening on local levels,
Speaker 2: but the Federal Department of Education, which I hope, I
Speaker 2: pray to God that someday soon it will be completely
Speaker 2: eliminated or decentralized. Because I graduated high school the year
Speaker 2: that the DOE was signed into law by Jimmy Carter,
Speaker 2: and at that time, the United States was number one
Speaker 2: in the world in education before the Department of Education,
Speaker 2: before the Federal Department of Education. Today it's we're twenty
Speaker 2: fourth and falling fast. So obviously, a federal Department of Education,
Speaker 2: which you know, only nine percent of local schools, only
Speaker 2: nine percent of their budgets comes from the Feds, but
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the curriculum does. And the Federal Department
Speaker 2: of Education has been so infested with the teachers' unions
Speaker 2: and the powerful lobbies in Washington, d C. If it's
Speaker 2: not moved out of DC, it should be just it
Speaker 2: should be eliminated. Your opinion on that, well.
Speaker 11: I absolutely think that there. Well, their focus isn't on
Speaker 11: education anymore. They're constantly just popping in new curriculums that
Speaker 11: cost ten of millions of dollars just enrich their friends.
Speaker 11: And I can only imagine if we could follow the money,
Speaker 11: people would be getting kickbacks. Their focus again, the DOE
Speaker 11: spent a billion dollars during the Biden administration on DEI programs,
Speaker 11: which include everything about racism, MELGUMBTQ and all that. Their
Speaker 11: focuses on social services for children. So you hear all
Speaker 11: the governors, especially in blue states, saying, oh, we need
Speaker 11: to give children two meals a day, breakfast and lunch
Speaker 11: for all children, not just children who need it. They
Speaker 11: have therapists in schools. Now, there's a school in Massachusetts
Speaker 11: where kids can get haircuts for free. Now they're bringing
Speaker 11: in medical services in the schools. They're trying to create
Speaker 11: government addicted children, and so they're not in the education
Speaker 11: is so.
Speaker 17: Far down on the list of priorities.
Speaker 11: And it shows only forty percent of American public school
Speaker 11: students can read at or above grade level.
Speaker 17: That's sixty that can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Joe Joe Biden said for eight hours a day,
Speaker 2: they're our kids, didn't he say that? That's an exact
Speaker 2: quote from from the current sitting president who sounds like him,
Speaker 2: Thank goodness, is only going to be in office another
Speaker 2: week and and I have I have great hope. I mean,
Speaker 2: the machine is so large, but I have great hope
Speaker 2: that Pam Bondy as Attorney General head of the DOJ,
Speaker 2: puts an end to this, ceases it immediately upon being
Speaker 2: confirmed and taking office. Every day I just I just think, Okay,
Speaker 2: we've just got another few days and things are going
Speaker 2: to turn around. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic at that point.
Speaker 2: Tell Elena Barberber tell me about American Groomer.
Speaker 11: So my film is about the sexualization of children in
Speaker 11: American public schools.
Speaker 17: Fifty mins.
Speaker 11: Kids are being subjected to this every single day.
Speaker 17: A little bit about the history of how it happened, who's.
Speaker 11: Behind it, and what we exactly how horrible this is
Speaker 11: for kids, and what we can do about it. And
Speaker 11: it's free to watch. It's only thirty six minutes, and
Speaker 11: I hope people will watch.
Speaker 17: It and get as angry as me.
Speaker 11: And you can see it for free at American groomorfilm dot.
Speaker 2: Com American groomerfilm dot com. Yes, so, where do you
Speaker 2: kind of tell me? What where did the based mother
Speaker 2: come from?
Speaker 11: You know, it's somebody called me that once on the
Speaker 11: internet when I was doing about two and a half years,
Speaker 11: but my son randomly asked me to sit with him
Speaker 11: for a video on a new YouTube channel he was starting.
Speaker 11: And I had never been on the internet before other than,
Speaker 11: you know, just a normal person with a Facebook account
Speaker 11: and so the so he he asked me. I said yes,
Speaker 11: and his channel took off, and somebody called me the
Speaker 11: base mother because I tell the truth a lot, and
Speaker 11: so I say it like it is, and it gets
Speaker 11: me in trouble sometimes, but that's what that means.
Speaker 2: Well, the truth shall set us all free. The truth
Speaker 2: should never get you in trouble. And I again, I'm
Speaker 2: just giving you this, this little bit of edification going forward.
Speaker 2: I think things are turning around. Keep up the good work,
Speaker 2: and thanks for spending some time with us tonight.
Speaker 17: Thank you so much for having me again.
Speaker 2: You got it. Elena barbera American groomerfilm dot com if
Speaker 2: you want to check that out. And let's just hope
Speaker 2: and pray, mainly pray that things at least at the
Speaker 2: federal level get turned around and starts guiding the rest
Speaker 2: of us in the right direction. The Night Cab continues
Speaker 2: in moments on seven hundred WLW Waking.
Speaker 5: Up with Mike McConnell makes me feel good.
Speaker 4: Mike's the best part of my day.
Speaker 15: Mike's got the news, weather, traffic, sports, and I.

Speaker 5: W l W.
Speaker 26: Inventory's are back at record levels Here at Columbia Hunda,
Speaker 26: we are fully stocked with Santa.
Speaker 2: It's not Ladies Night, but it's Lady's Hour. We just
Speaker 2: heard from Elena Barbera, the base mother and an appearance
Speaker 2: rights advocacy group. And now we have our friend Lee
Speaker 2: Walmscance who joined us just a few weeks back. She's
Speaker 2: a chief operating Chief Communications Officer brother a Patriot Mobile LCLLC,
Speaker 2: also the founding board member, executive director a Patriot Mobile Action,
Speaker 2: and the latest blip of No pun intended on Lee's
Speaker 2: radar came when she had a drone hovering over her
Speaker 2: home in North Tech, and we'll find out about that
Speaker 2: and so much more as we continue with the with
Speaker 2: the with the Women tonight, the Girls on the Nightcap
Speaker 2: on seven hundred WLW. Lee walmscans, how are you?
Speaker 20: I'm great, how are you doing?
Speaker 2: Fantastic? Now I'm serious. I had Savannah Maddox, who is
Speaker 2: a fantastic representative in the state of the Commonwealth of
Speaker 2: Kentucky where I live on at nine point thirty, and
Speaker 2: then I just finished with Elena and now you. So
Speaker 2: it is. It is the trifecta of really smart women
Speaker 2: on this show, which would astound most people who know me.
Speaker 6: So it's great to have you.
Speaker 20: I love it.
Speaker 2: So you are hopeful as I am hopeful for so
Speaker 2: many things with the incoming Trump administration. Of course, this
Speaker 2: week is the beginning of a confirmation week, and we
Speaker 2: hope it goes quickly for President Trump's nominees. In place
Speaker 2: is like the Department of Defense in all the major
Speaker 2: cabinet positions, but they're beginning this week with the grilling
Speaker 2: of Pete Hegseth and Doug Bergham the former governor of
Speaker 2: North Dakota, who is going to be a part of
Speaker 2: the Trump administration, hopefully in the Energy Department. What do
Speaker 2: you see as we get ready for inauguration Day one
Speaker 2: week from today and President Trump is sworn in and
Speaker 2: if he gets the nominees that he is selected in,
Speaker 2: do you see this being a whole big turnaround or
Speaker 2: are are we just chasing rainbows here thinking that you
Speaker 2: can change the machine in Washington, d C. With something
Speaker 2: as simple as a landslide election.
Speaker 20: Well, I want all your listeners to first of all
Speaker 20: realize that, well we all know January twentieth can't get
Speaker 20: here fast enough, but the work is just beginning. The
Speaker 20: work isn't over because we won in November. The work
Speaker 20: is just beginning. And as you said, it's a busy
Speaker 20: week this week with all of the appointments and the hearings.
Speaker 20: One thing President Trump said last week that I was
Speaker 20: really glad to hear him say that one of his
Speaker 20: first orders of business is going to be he's going
Speaker 20: to release a report about the origin of all of
Speaker 20: these crazy drones that we're seeing across the United States.
Speaker 20: I mean there's not just a few states, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, California,
Speaker 20: and Texas. And the concerning is some of those are
Speaker 20: near the White Settlement community just outside of Fort Worth,
Speaker 20: near the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve. That base is
Speaker 20: in Fort Worth that houses the three hundred and first
Speaker 20: Fighter Wing of the Air Force Reserve. This is very concerning,
Speaker 20: and this is it's not some abstract issue for me.
Speaker 20: This is very personal because on the night of Saturday,
Speaker 20: December twenty first, about nine thirty pm, my very non
Speaker 20: political neighbor called me saying, Lee, Lee, Lee, are you
Speaker 20: seeing the drone over your house? I was inside my
Speaker 20: home completely unaware, ran out, barely saw the lights going away,
Speaker 20: but she had captured some video of it that she
Speaker 20: sent to me. So I'm telling you this is completely unacceptable.
Speaker 20: I think it's trying to be normalized with American citizens.
Speaker 20: American citizens cannot normalize the acceptance of drones flying thirty
Speaker 20: to forty feet over their homes and hovering. It's simply unacceptable.
Speaker 2: Well, and you mentioned you're hopeful that President Trump sticks
Speaker 2: to his guns and is true to his word and
Speaker 2: saying he will get down to the bottom as best
Speaker 2: he can of the origin of these drones, where they're
Speaker 2: coming from, why they are there, and who was behind them.
Speaker 2: And I think every American wants to know these things,
Speaker 2: especially after the just enormous amount of sightings in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking to myself, got New Jersey?
Speaker 6: What right?
Speaker 2: What what do they want with New Jersey? Uh? You know,
Speaker 2: I just kept flashing back to War the Worlds by H. G. Wells,
Speaker 2: where the the the aliens, the space aliens invaded New
Speaker 2: Jersey of all places first. So I was just like
Speaker 2: going back in my mind. You know what's funny, Lee,
Speaker 2: is all all of us who have pointed out these
Speaker 2: incongruities and the lack of truth and transparency on so
Speaker 2: many issues for years, yes, that our government has covered up.
Speaker 2: We're called conspiracy theorists. We're called wackos. We're saying, we're
Speaker 2: called crazy. I was called a conspiracy theorist during COVID.
Speaker 2: I was I've been called a conspiracy theorist about any
Speaker 2: number of news stories that have wound up being appssolutely.
Speaker 5: True, right, but covered up, I mean covered.
Speaker 2: Up by the legacy mainstream media. And now, as we know,
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg saying, yeah, they pressured us to not let
Speaker 2: certain things out on Facebook on Meta go ahead, please, well.
Speaker 20: The Biden administration has escalated the orision of the public
Speaker 20: trust in our national security, not only by his mental
Speaker 20: absence and lack of strength, but by his lack of
Speaker 20: transparency with this drone situation, and deservedly he's faced criticism
Speaker 20: for lack of transparency over these drones, now reaching into
Speaker 20: the hundreds across America, many of those here in North Texas.
Speaker 20: You know, might I remind you it was just a
Speaker 20: year ago the weather balloon fiasco, where weather balloons were
Speaker 20: left to traverse our entire nation from west to east
Speaker 20: until they were shot down on February fourth by the
Speaker 20: US Air Force. They shot it down over the US
Speaker 20: territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina, but in
Speaker 20: it already traversed higher country. And it wasn't until after
Speaker 20: it was shot down that they say, oh, yeah, yeah, oh,
Speaker 20: this was a Chinese spy balloon with massive surveillance capabilities.
Speaker 20: What what government allows that to happen? I have to
Speaker 20: believe I have really zero doubt if President Trump were
Speaker 20: in office that weather balloon, first of all, wouldn't even
Speaker 20: have even tried it to come across our nation, but
Speaker 20: it certainly would not have made it across the entire country.
Speaker 2: No, and just in the same way that I don't
Speaker 2: believe Hamas would have attacked Israel on October seventh of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three.
Speaker 17: Agree.
Speaker 2: And this incursion, you know, it's the incursions by Putin
Speaker 2: into Eastern Europe. First, it was crimea happened under which president,
Speaker 2: not President Trump, President Obama. The incursion into Ukraine happened
Speaker 2: not under President Trump. Putin never would have tried that
Speaker 2: under Trump, but it happened under Joe Biden. Weakness always
Speaker 2: breeds this kind of aggression out of our enemies every time.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 20: Peace through strength. Peace through strength. It's three simple words.
Speaker 20: It means the world. It means the difference between peace
Speaker 20: or wars. It means the difference between America and Americans
Speaker 20: getting attacked. It also means the difference between Americans being
Speaker 20: expected to accept and be fine with drones flying thirty
Speaker 20: feet over their house simply unacceptable.
Speaker 2: So I mean, any any kind of description of this
Speaker 2: drone that your neighbor caught on video, what it looked like.
Speaker 20: So as you know, yeah, when you're looking in the air,
Speaker 20: things always look smaller, you know, than they are. It
Speaker 20: looks to be in the video, it looked to be
Speaker 20: a four feet wide, fairly square, maybe a little rectangle,
Speaker 20: but more square. I mean, this isn't a kid's toy,
Speaker 20: you know, this was a pretty massive aircraft. And you know,
Speaker 20: I've talked to several people about my right to privacy
Speaker 20: Americans rights to privacy. Constitutional originalists argue there is no
Speaker 20: rights to privacy in the Constitution. However, there's Supreme Court
Speaker 20: ruling stating back to the nineteen twenties that recognize there's
Speaker 20: three important clauses with broad privacy rights in our own
Speaker 20: homes and on our personal property. They're implied but not
Speaker 20: specific in the Bill of Rights. For example, first Amendment,
Speaker 20: we have the right to have privacy of our own beliefs.
Speaker 20: The third Amendment the right to protect our homes against
Speaker 20: the government forcing us to house soldiers. That that's the
Speaker 20: third Amendment. The fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches within
Speaker 20: the home. Well, let me tell you something. I want
Speaker 20: to know what that drone over my home was doing.
Speaker 20: I want to know doesn't have x rahibition because we
Speaker 20: know the technology is very common and I belie leave
Speaker 20: the fourteenth Amendment said, no state should deprive any person
Speaker 20: of life, liberty, or property. That's a violation of my
Speaker 20: personal property right. When an energy is flying a drone
Speaker 20: over personal homes, they are invading personal property. And I
Speaker 20: believe that that is an invasion and invasion of property
Speaker 20: without reason or a warrant, and I believe it's unconstitutional.
Speaker 2: Amen, I tell you what, that's a great place for
Speaker 2: us to break. Lee, We'll come back. Lee walms Gance
Speaker 2: is with us to talk about the state of the
Speaker 2: nation and to talk about hopefully where we're going in
Speaker 2: about a week's time, at least turning around this big
Speaker 2: ship we call the United States of America. It's the
Speaker 2: Nightcap and it continues in mere moments on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 5: When do you like to listen to Scott Sloan?
Speaker 22: Whenever I need a good solid dose of common sense,
Speaker 22: I'm listening to Sloaney.
Speaker 5: I can always use some slowy common sense.
Speaker 20: But he's more than common sense. He's smart and funny,
Speaker 20: and he's.
Speaker 2: Not all preachy with an agenda. He actually speaks.
Speaker 4: He ought to win a Nobel Prize for not being
Speaker 4: a talk show t bag.
Speaker 5: Talk show t bag. I think you mean talk show.
Speaker 2: D bag whatever?
Speaker 20: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Scott's loan Untilmorrow morning at nine on seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 3: and check out his podcast on the three iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4: Ad run a business and not thinking about podcasting? Think again.
Speaker 4: More Americans listen to podcasts than ads supported.
Speaker 2: We'll see founding board member, executive director of Patriot Mobile Action,
Speaker 2: and someone who just had a drone hovering over her
Speaker 2: house in North Texas.
Speaker 6: Who is it?
Speaker 2: What were they doing? And why were they inviting her?
Speaker 2: Invading her home? Those are the questions. Speaking of invasions,
Speaker 2: Hopefully another invasion is about to end. The mass invasion
Speaker 2: of foreign criminal trust passers on American soil known as
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants, and the open border, no border welcome policy
Speaker 2: the Biden administration has had seemingly is about to end.
Speaker 6: But is it too little, too lately, that's the question.
Speaker 20: Well, we have certainly been invaded, and this is going
Speaker 20: to take a lot of work to write the ship.
Speaker 20: You know here in Texas. The official numbers, and now
Speaker 20: you need to understand when I give you these numbers,
Speaker 20: this does not include the god away, so it's probably
Speaker 20: ten times this the official numbers, more million people have
Speaker 20: verified across over border during the Biden administry.
Speaker 2: More than how many million?
Speaker 20: Eleven million is what's verified.
Speaker 2: And just across the Texas border, you're not including you're
Speaker 2: not including California or Arizona.
Speaker 20: Now, and what people hear all these big numbers all
Speaker 20: the time. And by the way, that's not including the
Speaker 20: god Aways. You know that it's at least four times
Speaker 20: probably ten times that. But eleven million, that's a number
Speaker 20: larger than the population in forty of our states. In
Speaker 20: Texas is only like what little over thirty one million people.
Speaker 20: That's a third of our state. This is a lot
Speaker 20: of illegal immigrants, and they are criminals simply by the
Speaker 20: fact that when they crossed our border illegally, they broke
Speaker 20: the law. Okay, Texas authorities alone have ceased more than
Speaker 20: five hundred lethal doses of fentanyl. That's enough fentinel to
Speaker 20: kill every man, woman, and child in America and Mexico.
Speaker 20: That is what Operation loaneest Are and our Texas authorities
Speaker 20: have done since March twenty twenty one. This has just
Speaker 20: really been insanity. The invasion has been going on a
Speaker 20: long time, and as I said, President Trump can't get
Speaker 20: in there fast enough. Looking very forward to legal immigration
Speaker 20: only and closing the border to illegal immigration.
Speaker 2: Well, if the god aways are estimated to be four
Speaker 2: times as many as the official number, that's yeah, that's
Speaker 2: like more than ten percent of the population that was
Speaker 2: here before.
Speaker 20: Because should be very alone. People should be very like.
Speaker 2: I saw a report the other daily by someone else,
Speaker 2: and I can't remember, I can't put my finger on
Speaker 2: who it was at this point, but they were talking
Speaker 2: about one thousand, one thousand man terror network that is
Speaker 2: ready to strike at any time. And this is the
Speaker 2: reason that this is. This is one of the reasons
Speaker 2: this is so important, not to mention the terror of
Speaker 2: the fentanyl that's been brought across the border illegally, which
Speaker 2: is certainly a terrorist act. It's it's narco terror if
Speaker 2: nothing else, if not political terror, just to undermine the
Speaker 2: American people. Then you've got all of the screens on
Speaker 2: taxpayer supported resources from from education to medicine, and you
Speaker 2: know the gift cards and listen, we're a very generous people.
Speaker 2: We want to help our neighbor generally, but this is
Speaker 2: absolutely more than we should bear when it takes away
Speaker 2: resources from American born citizens. And that has happened over
Speaker 2: and over that there are schools that have been taken
Speaker 2: over as migrant shelters, and the activities for the kids
Speaker 2: who were born here are canceled. They're moved off of
Speaker 2: their campuses. So the illegals not to mention the bills,
Speaker 2: the billion dollar bills for the luxury hotels that have
Speaker 2: been paid for by you and me as American taxpayers
Speaker 2: in New York City and elsewhere.
Speaker 20: So your viewers need to see Line in the Sand.
Speaker 20: It's a fairly new documentary by James O'Keefe, and it
Speaker 20: is alarming. They go into a lot of these areas
Speaker 20: and are filming what's really happening, what taxpayers are really
Speaker 20: paying for. They go to New York, they disguise themselves
Speaker 20: as an illegal immigrant. They're handed everything they need. They
Speaker 20: interview the police officers there. The police officers just say, hey,
Speaker 20: you voted for this, and they are just so beat down.
Speaker 20: But in Texas alone, you talked about the costs. In
Speaker 20: Texas alone, the Federation for American Immigration Reform put out
Speaker 20: a report in twenty twenty three. I almost want to
Speaker 20: say last year. I still can't get used to being
Speaker 20: twenty twenty five. But in twenty twenty three. So keep
Speaker 20: in mind, we've got about a year and a half
Speaker 20: of cost not estimated into this, but it's over thirteen
Speaker 20: billion dollars a year caught. That's what illegal immigrants cost
Speaker 20: Texas alone.
Speaker 2: Texas taxpayers thir thirteen thirteen billion, just in Texas thirteen billion.
Speaker 20: This report is from March eighth, twenty twenty three. Texas
Speaker 20: taxpayers are paying nearly thirteen point four billion dollars a year,
Speaker 20: and that includes they're housing, their their education, indigent medical care.
Speaker 20: And that doesn't even include all of their medical care
Speaker 20: because federal law requires Texas public hospitals to treat anyone
Speaker 20: regardless of their nationality, regardless of their immigration status. In
Speaker 20: August of this year, Texas Governor Abbott came forth with
Speaker 20: an order for Texas public hospitals to start counting the
Speaker 20: cost of illegal immigration care that we're giving. Not saying
Speaker 20: you can't give it because federal law requires it, but
Speaker 20: to start counting the costs. So keep in mind when
Speaker 20: you're listening to that thirteen point four billion number, that's
Speaker 20: not even including real medical care from all of Texas
Speaker 20: public hospitals. They haven't even reported yet. That requirement went
Speaker 20: into effect November one, twenty twenty four. So we've just
Speaker 20: started to count that medical care cost. And we've got
Speaker 20: veterans who've served this country who can't even get their
Speaker 20: medical care, dying of cancer, can't get their surgeries in time.
Speaker 20: It's really it's just, you know, I don't know if
Speaker 20: you is George Castanz's Opposite World. I don't know if
Speaker 20: you're a Friends that show, But it's just like this
Speaker 20: alternate reality. Nothing makes sense anymore. We've got to make
Speaker 20: sense of the chaos and get America back or what's gone.
Speaker 2: So not only are these migrants who enter the country
Speaker 2: illegally and by the way, I think we'd be remiss
Speaker 2: if we did not mention all of the NGOs and
Speaker 2: so called charity networks that are working with the criminal
Speaker 2: coyote gangs to bring these people in, or the corrupt governments,
Speaker 2: the corrupt failed governments in places like Venezuela who opened
Speaker 2: up their prisons and pushed the criminals across our border
Speaker 2: with a nod and a wink.
Speaker 20: I mean, yes, we call them the human trafficking industrial complex.
Speaker 20: America has created this human trafficking industry by this open
Speaker 20: borders policy. And if you want to know what the
Speaker 20: kindest thing that you can do to these women and
Speaker 20: children and yes, some men, but mainly women and children
Speaker 20: who are being brutalized by the sex trafficking and human trafficking,
Speaker 20: is you close the border and you closed down that
Speaker 20: human trafficking industrial complex that we have opened at the border.
Speaker 2: Amen, Lee Walmscance, with just a couple of minutes left,
Speaker 2: talk to me about China land, because this is something
Speaker 2: else that I don't think is on a lot of
Speaker 2: people's radar.
Speaker 20: Well, it surprises a lot of people in the Texas
Speaker 20: House of Representatives that we've not already banned China owning
Speaker 20: land in the state of Texas, but our Speaker of
Speaker 20: the House two sessions ago sent the House home instead
Speaker 20: of holding hearings on the law that would have banned China,
Speaker 20: run North Korea, and Russia from owning land in Texas.
Speaker 20: But instead of having that vote, he decided to send
Speaker 20: everyone home, so there wasn't a hearing. So therefore what
Speaker 20: that means is it killed the bill. So all of
Speaker 20: those countries can still own land in Texas, Texas and
Speaker 20: every state in the nation. And I believe federally those
Speaker 20: four countries should be banned from it. It might surprise
Speaker 20: people to know Texas has the largest amount of foreign
Speaker 20: held US agriculture land, with over five point six million acres.
Speaker 20: Chinese investors specifically own over one hundred and twenty three
Speaker 20: thousand acres of Texas agricultural land. China owns land near
Speaker 20: military bases under the cover of agricultural purposes. These Chinese
Speaker 20: landlords can set up reconnaissance signs, install tracking technology scanning
Speaker 20: to view bases, radar fly drones over them. Here comes
Speaker 20: the drones again. Even the Wall Street Journal as there's
Speaker 20: a September twenty twenty three Wall Street Journal report that
Speaker 20: says Chinese intruders attempted to breach military facilities over one
Speaker 20: hundred times in recent years. Says China owned land is
Speaker 20: near Fort Cavasos that's formerly Fort Cood, that's near Colleen, Texas.
Speaker 20: And Camp Bullis that's just northwest of San Antonio. Seventeen
Speaker 20: other bases around the country have China purchasing land around them.
Speaker 20: It is a national security problem. It needs to be
Speaker 20: solved at the state level in Texas. It also needs
Speaker 20: to be solved at the federal level.
Speaker 17: In Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: Maybe things will turn around when we don't have a
Speaker 2: president in office who's owned by the communist Chinese Party.
Speaker 5: Maybe let's prayer.
Speaker 20: That's our prayer. That's our prayer. As I said January twentieth,
Speaker 20: can't get.
Speaker 2: Here fast enough, Lee wamsgance, give me, give me a
Speaker 2: place where people can check out more of your information.

Speaker 6: Smith's management, force management mistakes, all sorts of problems.
Speaker 27: Mike Johnson says any aid to California should be conditioned.
Speaker 27: The sense here is that it's too soon to know
Speaker 27: how great the need is. But the Speaker indicated there
Speaker 27: are already conversations on going about tying aid for southern
Speaker 27: California to an increase in the dead ceiling, perhaps in

Speaker 2: is the question? Is an editor and journalist written for

Speaker 2: He's been there, although I didn't notice the New York
Speaker 2: Times of the Washington Post, oddly enough, is the author
Speaker 2: of Decline from the Top, Snapshots from America's Crisis and
Speaker 2: Glimmers of Hope. Won Matt Purple, Matt, Good evening, and
Speaker 2: welcome to the show.
Speaker 21: How are you thank you for having me? I think
Speaker 21: I wrote for the Washington Post once, but I don't
Speaker 21: brag about that anymore.
Speaker 2: So, well, I'm surprised they allowed you to do It's
Speaker 2: that was I guess the joke there.
Speaker 21: Yeah, that was a long time ago. You know, It's
Speaker 21: got a lot worse, but Yeah, it's good to be
Speaker 21: on your show.
Speaker 2: All right, man. Great to have you. And let's go
Speaker 2: ahead and talk about the elephant on the TV screen
Speaker 2: at least for the last week or so, because it's
Speaker 2: been a week since the wildfires first broke out, after
Speaker 2: the high wind warnings, after the mayor of Los Angeles'
Speaker 2: trip to Ghana. Oddly she was going for a presidential
Speaker 2: inauguration in Ghana, but she won't be at Donald Trump's
Speaker 2: next Monday, Karen Bass. And the fact that that same
Speaker 2: mayor cut funding to the fire department, which she said
Speaker 2: wouldn't have affected this particular crisis seventeen point six million dollars.
Speaker 2: The fire hydrants went dry, Matt. And let me tell
Speaker 2: you something my wife now years ago, but in her twenties,
Speaker 2: she was a firefighter, and she was talking about how
Speaker 2: it was routine for them on a ship to go
Speaker 2: out and they would check the fire hydrants. And it
Speaker 2: happened almost every month. They would go out and make
Speaker 2: sure the fire hydrants were working properly. And this is
Speaker 2: something I am told you have to do, number one,
Speaker 2: to make sure that the water is flowing out of
Speaker 2: the fire hydrant in case of a crisis. Number two,
Speaker 2: you want to make sure that you can get the
Speaker 2: damn thing off when the hoses need to be attached,
Speaker 2: because they will seize up if they are left, you know,
Speaker 2: sedentary for a long time. They'll rust over and then
Speaker 2: they you know, even their special tool have a hard
Speaker 2: time getting those fire hydrants open in a case of
Speaker 2: an emergency. The fire hydrants were dry in Pacific Palisades,
Speaker 2: and I'm guessing they didn't have enough DEI candidates to
Speaker 2: go out and check them on a regular basis. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure any comments on any of this will be
Speaker 2: greatly appreciated.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I was here in Alexandria one time and we
Speaker 21: saw firefighters. A fire truck go by, and the firefighters
Speaker 21: got out and started checking one of the hydrants. So
Speaker 21: it's something that in most places happens routinely. The fire
Speaker 21: hydrants when dry, there's a reservoir and the Pacific Palisades
Speaker 21: that held you know, tons and tons, gallons and gallons
Speaker 21: of water that was also dry for reasons unknown. And
Speaker 21: this kind of thing happens in California all the time,
Speaker 21: I mean just about every year. That last year was
Speaker 21: no exception. They had a problem with fires. This should
Speaker 21: have been their their number one priority. You know, we
Speaker 21: hear so much about how in California they built the
Speaker 21: buildings to be earthquake proof because they know that the
Speaker 21: big one is eventually coming. The more immediate threat is fires, right,
Speaker 21: So where is that level of foresight, that level of preparation.
Speaker 21: It just it was nowhere to be seen here. And
Speaker 21: I take the point very well about DEI, And I'm
Speaker 21: sure that played some malign role here at DEI always
Speaker 21: seems to be screwing up things wherever it pops up.
Speaker 21: But it's worth pointing out that the police chief, the
Speaker 21: female police chief out there, had been warning the other
Speaker 21: government departments.
Speaker 6: So this was a problem.
Speaker 21: You know, she was saying, there's the mismanagement here. We've
Speaker 21: lost our money, like we need help or we're going
Speaker 21: to be in a crisis, and they never got that help.
Speaker 21: And yeah, it's just it's a perfect storm of weather factors, right,
Speaker 21: you had these incredibly strong winds and incredibly dry situation
Speaker 21: there in California. But it's also I think a perfect
Speaker 21: storm of government and competence.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's total incompetence. There's no question about that playing
Speaker 2: a role, Matt, And I'll tell you. The other thing
Speaker 2: is that did you see the DEI, chief officer of
Speaker 2: the LAFD, when opposed the question can you pull an
Speaker 2: adult man out of a fire? And she said, basically
Speaker 2: to the extent of to paraphrase, well, if I have
Speaker 2: to pull him out of the fire, he's obviously in
Speaker 2: the wrong place. And I was like, is there a
Speaker 2: right place to be in the middle of a wildfire?
Speaker 6: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: You're in the wrong place because I am not confident
Speaker 2: and qualified to do my job.
Speaker 21: Or they'll or their they're a grand piece of advice
Speaker 21: to people who are out there is spray water on
Speaker 21: your roof to prevent it from catching fire, which I
Speaker 21: think is like, we just had a big snowstorm here
Speaker 21: in Virginia. I think it is like me on the
Speaker 21: ground with table stops trying to to stop the snow
Speaker 21: from coming, just kind of.
Speaker 6: Spooning it up onto the roof exactly.
Speaker 2: Get a slingshot and a ball of salt, put it
Speaker 2: on your roof. That'll keep the snow off.
Speaker 21: Yeah, and you know already. I saw a CNN headline
Speaker 21: yesterday which was covering for a California of course and
Speaker 21: saying no amount of preparation in water could have prevented
Speaker 21: these fires. And that may be true that you know,
Speaker 21: we were gonna have to do some investigating here. It
Speaker 21: may very well be that this is just such an
Speaker 21: unbelievable act of nature that if they had all the
Speaker 21: water in the world, they couldn't have stopped it from
Speaker 21: spreading as quickly as it did. But we also know
Speaker 21: that water helps, you know, like, if you're going to
Speaker 21: fight a fire, you need water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, jeez, that's why they that's why they bring in
Speaker 2: the shoppers and the and the big planes with all
Speaker 2: the water to drop it. Because water does help. And
Speaker 2: it's not about could have prevented these wildfires, Matt. It's
Speaker 2: about fighting the fires once they erupt and they were
Speaker 2: they were they were like a uh a one one
Speaker 2: armed paper hanger, you know, because of their resources being limited.
Speaker 2: What could have prevented the wildfires has been a problem
Speaker 2: in California for decades. They have stopped doing proper forest
Speaker 2: management with all this dry underbrush and and they've not
Speaker 2: removed it. They do that in other parts of the country.
Speaker 2: The people that are real environmentalists know that to preserve
Speaker 2: nature and an echosystem, you have to clear away the dead,
Speaker 2: the kinlan, the fuel, especially if you live in an
Speaker 2: area that's very arid and has these high winds. There
Speaker 2: are more high winds expected. The Santa Anna's are supposed
Speaker 2: to roar up again tomorrow. Let's see how they do.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you nailed it. But you can't. You can't do
Speaker 21: anything like that anymore in California. You can't clear away
Speaker 21: the brush, you can't practice proper forestry. You can't. I mean,
Speaker 21: just to jump ahead here a little bit. You can't
Speaker 21: rebuild buildings after they've burned down because of you know,
Speaker 21: problems with the different government commissions out there. You know,
Speaker 21: environmental impact studies are usually at fault here. There's long
Speaker 21: winding processes, or they have to check for the you know,
Speaker 21: forearmed smelts or whatever, the little animals they have out
Speaker 21: there are to make sure there's none nearby before they
Speaker 21: can do anything, before they can really do much of anything.
Speaker 21: But you know, this is a state that is really
Speaker 21: in the grips of the environmental bureaucracy. This is what
Speaker 21: environmental liberalism looks like in the year twenty twenty four,
Speaker 21: and it makes it just about impossible to do anything.
Speaker 21: And I heard Governor Knewsom yesterday come out and say,
Speaker 21: just so you guys know, you know, we understand a
Speaker 21: lot of rich people's houses burned down here. We're going
Speaker 21: to waive the environmental regulations. We're going to make sure
Speaker 21: the Coastal Commission doesn't get too involved so that you
Speaker 21: can rebuild quickly. And well, you know how nice that
Speaker 21: in this situation they're allowing that to happen. But this
Speaker 21: is this is decades and decades of thickening bureaucracy, and
Speaker 21: it would be nice if you would say, actually, you
Speaker 21: know what we need to reduce that we need to
Speaker 21: make government more efficient, make government work better and do less.
Speaker 21: But that doesn't ever seem to be long term on
Speaker 21: the menu in California.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not allocate thirty five billion dollars for a
Speaker 2: high speed choo choo that never gets built and is
Speaker 2: going to cost one hundred and thirty five billion if
Speaker 2: it ever does, because of the time that it's taken
Speaker 2: and inflation and all the rest. Someone suggested that Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom spent the money that should have been spent on
Speaker 2: forestry and water diversion on his hair jel instead of
Speaker 2: actually taking care of his job. As governor to serve
Speaker 2: and protect the people who elected him and pay his salary.
Speaker 2: This is an amazing, amazing pile of inconfidence in a
Speaker 2: dress suit. And I can't believe that the man actually
Speaker 2: has delusions of running for president someday.
Speaker 21: Well, look, those COVID lunches that the French laundry are
Speaker 21: not going to pay for themselves. I mean, they have
Speaker 21: to come from somewhere, And this was it. We know
Speaker 21: by the way that the money that was supposed to
Speaker 21: go to the fire department was re routed by Karen
Speaker 21: Bass and the LA government into social programs. So we
Speaker 21: know that this was taking money from good firefighting, from
Speaker 21: what was really needed in California and rerouting it into
Speaker 21: the same social programs that seem to have only led
Speaker 21: to more homelessness and more middle class Californians seeing the state.
Speaker 21: So yeah, I think it's you know, you need a
Speaker 21: real reckoning of Cisco priorities once this is all over.
Speaker 2: Well, she, I mean, she's a Marxist, and there's nothing
Speaker 2: good that comes of Marxism in a country like America.
Speaker 2: There's nothing good that comes of Marxism in any country.
Speaker 2: And I thought we had a democracy or republic and
Speaker 2: not a Marxist totalitarian regime in charge. But it sure
Speaker 2: seemed like it from the top down for a while,
Speaker 2: especially the last four years. We're talking to Matt Purple
Speaker 2: on the Nightcap more on America's decline from the top
Speaker 2: when we return after this quick break on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3: Maybe you missed one of our shows because fixing that
Speaker 3: leap took longer than you expected?
Speaker 17: Can I call the plumber now?
Speaker 5: Miss to fix it?

Speaker 5: If you're living with try age related maculate to generate the.
Speaker 2: Top snapshots from America's crisis and glimmers of hope. There's
Speaker 2: some humor in this book. I have not had the
Speaker 2: chance to read it yet, but I look forward to
Speaker 2: after tonight's conversation with Matt Purple and we continue that conversation.
Speaker 2: Decline from the top, A fish rots from the head down,
Speaker 2: And that's the basic gist of this, isn't it. Matt.
Speaker 21: Uh, Yeah, that's a That's definitely a major theory in
Speaker 21: the book. What I'm referring to with that, you know,
Speaker 21: from the top, is that I grew up in the
Speaker 21: nineteen nineties and there was a sense then that America
Speaker 21: was really the number one nation in the world. I mean,
Speaker 21: the Cold War was over, Berlin Wall had come down,
Speaker 21: we were the only superpower left, and we had this
Speaker 21: almost metaphysical sense of ourselves, like we can do anything
Speaker 21: we set our minds to because we're Americans.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 21: I grew up with this very strong sense of patriotism
Speaker 21: as a result of that. And what made me curious
Speaker 21: about the subject is that nobody thinks that, or very
Speaker 21: few people think that way anymore. You know, everybody's much
Speaker 21: more pessimistic and gloomy, and the poles all bear this out.
Speaker 21: You know, people are much more nervous about the future.
Speaker 21: And so we had declined from the top. You know,
Speaker 21: we had, at least in our own minds anyway, our
Speaker 21: own perception we'd been on top. But we thought we
Speaker 21: no longer were. And I wanted to explore why that
Speaker 21: had happened. You know, what was the reason for this
Speaker 21: psychological pessimism. And there's quite a lot, there's quite a
Speaker 21: lot that's gone wrong as it turned out.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you know what's odd about this is
Speaker 2: it seems like a pretty secular thing because at the
Speaker 2: end of World War Two, we were, you know, we
Speaker 2: were the champions. We had beaten Nazi Germany and Imperial
Speaker 2: Japan and brought the world back to a place where
Speaker 2: it could be safe and prosperous for a people again.
Speaker 2: And that lasted into the nineteen fifties, and lo and behold,
Speaker 2: by the time the late seventies had come around, we
Speaker 2: had the skyrocketing inflation, we had the skyrocketing interest rates,
Speaker 2: and we had come out of Vietnam battered and bruised
Speaker 2: as a nation and as a military, and there was
Speaker 2: this feeling that of a lack of patriotism, and it
Speaker 2: took Ronald Reagan to kind of flame that back up
Speaker 2: into you know, a pattern for the American citizens. And
Speaker 2: so you're talking about what happened at the end of
Speaker 2: the Reagan administration immediately after, with the Berlin Wall falling
Speaker 2: and the Soviet Union coming apart, we'd won the Cold War,
Speaker 2: and here we are about the same span of years later,
Speaker 2: and nobody's patriotic, nobody is optimistic or upbeat about America.
Speaker 2: Nobody thinks of America as exceptional. And we've been told
Speaker 2: by President Obama and others in the Biden administration that
Speaker 2: we shouldn't consider ourselves as an exceptional country. It's just
Speaker 2: weird that it runs in these kind of cycles. And
Speaker 2: do you see a parallel between what happened at the
Speaker 2: end of World War Two and where we got to
Speaker 2: by nineteen seventy five in this country? And then you know,
Speaker 2: in your lifetime from the end of the Cold War
Speaker 2: to now, it seems very similar.
Speaker 21: To me, It does, yeah, And I think there's eerie parallels,
Speaker 21: first of all, between the nineteen fifties and the nineteen nineties,
Speaker 21: and that they're both decades where there's a lot of confidence,
Speaker 21: a lot of prosperity, the country's moving forward, but it's
Speaker 21: also haunted by certain problems that are being swept under
Speaker 21: the rug, you know, like there's you can kind of
Speaker 21: tell that there's a time bomb that's going to go
Speaker 21: off there at some point. And then of course you
Speaker 21: have the tumult of the sixties, and then really the
Speaker 21: seventies was when that hangover hit. You know, the seventies
Speaker 21: were a very confidence depleting decade, and you could probably
Speaker 21: compare that to today, although I think that today anyway,
Speaker 21: the crisis feels more severe. There's you know it, I
Speaker 21: think we have a more negative perception of ourselves now
Speaker 21: than we did even back then, as bad as things were.
Speaker 21: And I think that I'm kind of cautious about making
Speaker 21: comparisons between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, But I think
Speaker 21: the reason why Trump won and one again is that
Speaker 21: people understand that they do perceive that we're in decline,
Speaker 21: and they don't think that just business as usual.
Speaker 6: You know, let's elect the.
Speaker 21: Latest politician, you know, to come out of the conveyor belt,
Speaker 21: that that's going to cut it anymore. You know, they
Speaker 21: are Donald Trump is preaching a message of radical, disruptive change,
Speaker 21: and maybe people aren't entirely confident on his ability to
Speaker 21: deliver it. But they are that appeals much more to
Speaker 21: them than all right, let's just you know, switch from
Speaker 21: Hillary Clinton over to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: I thought, how about this for an idea, Matt talking
Speaker 2: to Matt Purple. The idea is, instead of DOGE, you know,
Speaker 2: the Department of Government Efficiency, how about Donald Trump just contracting.
Speaker 2: And he's a construction guy, and you can't have construction
Speaker 2: sometimes without demolition. You just take a couple of huge
Speaker 2: bulldozers and totally bulldoze K Street. So the lobbyists have
Speaker 2: to flee town and then because that's the thing that
Speaker 2: is the problem right there to me with government inefficiency
Speaker 2: and wasteful spending is the ears of the elected always
Speaker 2: are being buzzed by the lobbyists. The lobbyists are controlling
Speaker 2: policy and controlling the government in essence. So I think
Speaker 2: you just bulldoze K Street. What do you think about
Speaker 2: that idea?
Speaker 21: Man, I used to work on L Street and I
Speaker 21: no longer do, so I'm fine with, you know, that's
Speaker 21: not going to affect me personally in any way, So
Speaker 21: I'm totally fine with just just send it in and
Speaker 21: it's yeah, you know, the lobby This is a major
Speaker 21: theme in the book later on, is that the lobbyists
Speaker 21: have in large part bought off the government. And you
Speaker 21: have this kind of new factionalism within Congress, within the
Speaker 21: federal system itself, where powerful interests are getting their say
Speaker 21: at the table, but really the average person and also
Speaker 21: just the reason of the average legislator, you know, the
Speaker 21: average legislator's ability to work towards, you know, preserving our
Speaker 21: rights and acting in the common good that's getting blocked
Speaker 21: by these very powerful agendas. And so we ask things
Speaker 21: like why can't we cut the budget? Why why are
Speaker 21: we just not able to do this? And one major
Speaker 21: reason is that every dollar of that budget is protected
Speaker 21: by some lobbyists, by some interest groups somewhere. So yeah,
Speaker 21: it's why, I mean, I like the Doge. I'm kind
Speaker 21: of excited for the Doge. We haven't tried anything like
Speaker 21: this since the Grace Commission back in the eighties, and
Speaker 21: this time we have a Republican Congress, so like it
Speaker 21: could actually see the light of day, but actually making
Speaker 21: that happen is going to be far more difficult than
Speaker 21: just drafting a list of everything that should be cut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question about that. I just think it's
Speaker 2: a huge monster that's sitting on America's chest and keeping
Speaker 2: us in decline. Because this is one of you mentioned
Speaker 2: that there's some pretty funny stuff in the book. Can
Speaker 2: you tease us with a little bit of decline from
Speaker 2: the top and your observations that are you would consider
Speaker 2: to be humorous.
Speaker 21: Well, I won't give away. I won't give away too
Speaker 21: many jokes in that book. I'll just kind of explain
Speaker 21: the rationale behind it, which and you know, your your
Speaker 21: your audience can judge whether it's actually funny or not.
Speaker 21: I'm not going to see any claims on that funny.
Speaker 2: I'm also a bartender in the addition to being a
Speaker 2: talk show host, and I'll start to tell a joke
Speaker 2: to one of my customers and she'll goes, is this
Speaker 2: a joke? I said, Well, it all depends on whether
Speaker 2: you laugh or not. But go ahead.
Speaker 21: You know I'm not I'm not the one who gets
Speaker 21: to make that determination. And the guys, the guys who
Speaker 21: say they're funny or the guys who never are funny, right,
Speaker 21: But but yeah, no, I So the reason why I
Speaker 21: took a lighter hearted tone is because I'm an optimistic
Speaker 21: person by nature, and it's not really it would not
Speaker 21: be my inclination to spend more than a year, you know,
Speaker 21: sifting through these various causes of our decline and writing
Speaker 21: about them. That just sounds very depressing, quite frankly. And
Speaker 21: so I said, if I'm going to do this, then
Speaker 21: I'm going to try to, you know, make people laugh
Speaker 21: along the way, take a more humor tech kind of
Speaker 21: observe it from a more detached perspective. And I think that's,
Speaker 21: you know, that's the best way to talk about this stuff,
Speaker 21: because Americans are an optimistic people, you know, we want
Speaker 21: to believe things can get better. And it's it's just
Speaker 21: we've got enough doom and gloom over the past, you know, ten, fifteen,
Speaker 21: twenty years. And I didn't want to I didn't want
Speaker 21: to write that book, you know, I didn't want to
Speaker 21: contribute even more to that.
Speaker 2: Sure that that's great again. I look forward to reading it.
Speaker 2: Decline from the Top by Matt Purple the subtitle Snapshots
Speaker 2: from America's Crisis and Glimmers of Hope. Do you see
Speaker 2: a lot of glimmers of hope?
Speaker 6: Matt?
Speaker 21: I do, yeah, you know, the I'm hopeful about the
Speaker 21: younger generation which grew up in this period of decline.
Speaker 21: I'm a millennial, believe it or not, I'm not actually
Speaker 21: really that young anymore. It's the gen Z that's coming up.
Speaker 21: They've known nothing except, you know, the events that have
Speaker 21: contributed to this decline. So I think they're they're very
Speaker 21: aware of it and hopefully want to do something about it.
Speaker 21: I love that COVID is finally over, you know, the
Speaker 21: bars and restaurants are starting to reopen, and we're starting
Speaker 21: to kind of get back into the sunlight a little bit.
Speaker 21: So yeah, there's a few anyway, but there's also there's
Speaker 21: a lot of bad news along the way, unfortunately, no.
Speaker 2: Doubt about it. If it was if it was good,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be news, you know. I always say that,
Speaker 2: you know, you can't, you know, because good usually happens
Speaker 2: in people's relationships and in neighborhoods. Good usually happens that
Speaker 2: that is the normal. When it's bad, it's news, and
Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of news lately. Matt, thank you
Speaker 2: so much for your time. We appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Thank you great to talk to you on the way.

Speaker 2: Crap on this Nightcap, on this Monday evening, on seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW, I thought it would be edifying to revisit
Speaker 2: the commentary by the late great newsman Paul Harvey. You've
Speaker 2: probably heard this, maybe you've heard it one hundred times.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but just head of Pastor David Scarlett
Speaker 2: one more time. Notice the similarities between the time in
Speaker 2: which Paul Harvey was making these comments and what we've
Speaker 2: lived through just the last four years and still living
Speaker 2: through now in this country. It's a commentary entitled If
Speaker 2: I were the Devil, once again, the Great Paul Harvey
Speaker 2: on the Nightcap.
Speaker 9: If I were the devil, If I were the devil,
Speaker 9: if I were the Prince of darkness, I'd want to
Speaker 9: engulf the whole world in darkness, and I'd have a
Speaker 9: third of its real estate and four fifths of its population.
Speaker 9: But I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the
Speaker 9: ripest apple on the tree the So I'd set about,
Speaker 9: however necessary to take over the United States.
Speaker 6: I'd subvert the churches first.
Speaker 9: I'd begin with a campaign of whispers, with the wisdom
Speaker 9: of a serpent, I would whisper to you, as I
Speaker 9: whispered to Eve, do as you please. To the young,
Speaker 9: I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I
Speaker 9: would convince them that man created God instead of the
Speaker 9: other way around. I would confide that what's bad is good,
Speaker 9: and what's good is square, and the old I would
Speaker 9: teach to pray after me our father, which aren't in Washington.
Speaker 6: And then I'd get organized.
Speaker 9: I'd educate authors in how to make the lowrid literature
Speaker 9: or exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting.
Speaker 9: I'd threatened TV with dirtier movies, and vice versa. I
Speaker 9: peddled narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to
Speaker 9: ladies and gentlemen of distinction.
Speaker 6: I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.
Speaker 9: If I were the Devil, I'd soon have families at
Speaker 9: war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations
Speaker 9: at war with themselves until each in its turn was consumed,
Speaker 9: and with promises of higher ratings, I'd have mesmerizing media
Speaker 9: fanning the flames. If I were the Devil, I would
Speaker 9: encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions,
Speaker 9: just let those run wild until before you knew it.
Speaker 9: You'd have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors
Speaker 9: at every schoolhouse door. Within a decade, i'd have prisons overflowing.
Speaker 9: I'd have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could evict God
Speaker 9: from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from
Speaker 9: the houses of Congress and in his own churches. I
Speaker 9: would and substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I
Speaker 9: would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls
Speaker 9: and church money. If I were the devil, I'd make
Speaker 9: the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of
Speaker 9: Christmas a bottle. If I were the devil, I'd take
Speaker 9: from those who have and give to those who wanted.
Speaker 9: Until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious, and.
Speaker 6: What will you bet?
Speaker 9: I couldn't get whole states to promote gambling as the
Speaker 9: way to get rich.
Speaker 6: I would caution.
Speaker 9: Against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
Speaker 9: I would convince the young that marriage is old fashioned,
Speaker 9: that swinging is more fun, that what you see on
Speaker 9: TV is the way to be. And thus I could
Speaker 9: undress you in public, and I could lure you into
Speaker 9: bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In
Speaker 9: other words, if I were the devil, I just keep
Speaker 9: right on doing what he's doing. Paul Harvey.
Speaker 2: Good Nay, Up next, A real life changing event certainly
Speaker 2: changed his life, and maybe his story might change yours.
Speaker 2: Pastor David Scarlett up next on the Nightcap.
Speaker 4: Bill Cunningham is mister Red, white and Blue.
Speaker 15: He knows that when America does better, we.
Speaker 5: All do better, and he wants us all to do better.
Speaker 5: He wants me to do better and you to do better.
Speaker 21: It's the American dream.
Speaker 5: My American dream would include a house like Elvis had.
Speaker 5: Did you know that Elvis once gave Willy a ride
Speaker 5: in his limo? I'm not surprised who wouldn't want Willy
Speaker 5: in their car?
Speaker 4: That was probably part of Elvis's American dream.
Speaker 11: Bill Cunningham Tomorrow at twelve noon on seven hundred w.
Speaker 28: L Monster BTK, the latest installment.
Speaker 2: Around out Tonight's Nightcap. One of the things David is
Speaker 2: the author of All for His Glory, The Near death
Speaker 2: Experience of a Modern day job, Chairman and founder of
Speaker 2: His Glory Ministries, A Christian outreach former US Marine telecommunications
Speaker 2: exec whose life was dramatically changed in one fell swoop,
Speaker 2: and to welcome back the pastor and to have him
Speaker 2: tell his story real quickly, and then we'll get on
Speaker 2: to some other pressing issues. Pastor David Scarlett, how are
Speaker 2: you good?
Speaker 10: Thank you for having me back.
Speaker 2: It's a pleasure, No, it's great. The near death experience
Speaker 2: of the modern day job. I encourage anyone to get
Speaker 2: the book all for his glory, but tell me kind
Speaker 2: of a brief summation of what happened that radically transformed
Speaker 2: your life.
Speaker 10: Well, I was a nine to one to one Christian,
Speaker 10: meaning that I would only call on to God when
Speaker 10: I was in trouble. I was a US Marine, and
Speaker 10: then I rose up the corporate ladder. I was the
Speaker 10: youngest director in the history of ATUT and his number
Speaker 10: one director had all the fame, fortune money at that
Speaker 10: particular time, but it was empty until on seven seven seven.
Speaker 10: You can't make this day up later in the book,
Speaker 10: so you'll see how that ties to my friend Ricky Skaggs.
Speaker 10: He was singing He's bowing the chauffar on the same day.
Speaker 10: But I ate Bochulism toxin on that day, and a
Speaker 10: chili dog of all places. And if you don't know,
Speaker 10: a bochelism talks and it completely paralyzes you from inside out.
Speaker 10: You have to go on a breathing tube to survive.
Speaker 10: I went into the Cleveland Clinic on literally Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 10: I initially died the first night that I was there,
Speaker 10: but I didn't have a near death experienced the first time.
Speaker 10: So they got me stabilized at the Cleveland Clinic and
Speaker 10: then the doctors pulled the plug so that I would
Speaker 10: breathe on my own. And there's nothing worse than seeing
Speaker 10: the panic on two doctors at the Cleveland Clinic. They knew,
Speaker 10: they knew they had lost me, and I knew at
Speaker 10: that moment in time that I was gone. I was going,
Speaker 10: My life was over. I was thinking about my kids,
Speaker 10: my wife, and everything of the world. And then all
Speaker 10: of a sudden, I was taken up in this absolutely
Speaker 10: incredible beauty. Again, when you can't breathe, you think that
Speaker 10: there'd be anxious anxiety, but there was no anxiety. It
Speaker 10: was pure, pure love, no pain whatsoever. I was taken
Speaker 10: up to the Third Heaven and just everything smelt better.
Speaker 10: Look better, it tastes better. It was absolutely as the
Speaker 10: apostle Paul said, you just can't put it into words,
Speaker 10: how beautiful it is. And then the Lord showed me
Speaker 10: pictures of my life and the Mahogany pictures that were slow,
Speaker 10: so I was outside of time and space because I
Speaker 10: believe they I actually died for four minutes, but by
Speaker 10: seeing all these pictures, I had to be twenty to
Speaker 10: thirty minutes at least. And then I saw these pictures.
Speaker 10: They were perfect pictures, pictures that were never taken.
Speaker 5: On the earth.
Speaker 10: And then the Lord finally later told me these pictures
Speaker 10: showed Heaven and there's no sense. But my report card
Speaker 10: was empty. There was nothing I did for the Lord.
Speaker 10: In those pictures. I got about the skin of my
Speaker 10: teeth being a nine one one Christian. And if I
Speaker 10: wouldn't gone through a trial and tribulation with my wife,
Speaker 10: I probably I would not have been in habit. So
Speaker 10: even our worst things in the world are get us
Speaker 10: closer to being with the Lord, and that's what it's
Speaker 10: all about. So he sent me back. I stabilized. As
Speaker 10: soon as I came back, I said, I didn't see
Speaker 10: Jesus while I was in heaven, I said, Lord, I
Speaker 10: want to see Jesus, and I before I even got
Speaker 10: that prayer out there, he was at the end of
Speaker 10: my bed at the Cleveland Clinic, just radiating. He never
Speaker 10: said a word, he didn't need to, just a piercing
Speaker 10: blue eyes and just this radiate glow to him, just
Speaker 10: like the Book of Revelation. And then a long story,
Speaker 10: I had to take two steps forward, one step back.
Speaker 10: I had another near death experience when they pulled the
Speaker 10: plug and they had all the thirty doctors in the
Speaker 10: Cleveland Clinic watching over me this time, and immediately it
Speaker 10: went bad and I was hovering above the doctors. I
Speaker 10: could see the panic in their face. They're saying, come back,
Speaker 10: come back, you can beat this. And I said to
Speaker 10: the Lord once again, I had this peace and joy
Speaker 10: and love us, and Lord, why am I panicking? I
Speaker 10: feel absolutely perfect? And he said, my son, I'm going
Speaker 10: to take you. I'm going to bring you back, and
Speaker 10: you're going to start a ministry call by my name
Speaker 10: his Glory. And then it was many years in the wilderness,
Speaker 10: training in his word and rehabilitate dating, learning how to talk.
Speaker 10: He walk again because everything was shut down and lo
Speaker 10: and behold, he has created a ministry call by his
Speaker 10: name literally comes from the Hebrew word comvote, which means
Speaker 10: his glory, his literal glory, his literal essence. We reached
Speaker 10: twenty five million people in every country of the world,
Speaker 10: and the miracles continue to happen on a daily basis.
Speaker 2: What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing again with us.
Speaker 2: David Scarlett is our guest here on the night Cap
Speaker 2: and we continue. You had some guys, He had some
Speaker 2: thoughts about some of President Trump's global ambitions you could
Speaker 2: call them, or just common sense kind of reasons that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is talking about Greenland and the Panama Canal
Speaker 2: and yes, why they are so important to America's security
Speaker 2: going forward, And I'd love to hear you talk about
Speaker 2: that a little bit if you could. Why Greenland number one?
Speaker 10: Well, first, remember when President Trump talked about Greenland when
Speaker 10: his first was in office. Everybody thought he was crazy.
Speaker 10: Well he's not crazy. He's dead serious about this because
Speaker 10: of many reasons. One, we have military bases there. Two,
Speaker 10: we have a very top secret underground military base that
Speaker 10: most people don't know about, where the worst of the
Speaker 10: worst have to go to. You say, you think get
Speaker 10: mode times ten. But it's just strategic that if you
Speaker 10: had to say one word that say why do we
Speaker 10: need Greenland, it's China. China's going in there and trying
Speaker 10: to get the natural resources and try to steal off
Speaker 10: the land. President Trump's looking at not only economic to
Speaker 10: be an economic superpower, because all the technology you need
Speaker 10: to grow in the future is going to be based
Speaker 10: on these raw minerals that are there in Greenland in
Speaker 10: great capacity. The military aspect of that have a military
Speaker 10: basis and just where it sits strategically for shipping as well,
Speaker 10: and that ties it into the Panama Canal. Why the
Speaker 10: Panama Canal is so important as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a hops given a jump east of Canada.
Speaker 2: And President Trump has talked about Canada too. I think
Speaker 2: that's more conjoling or trolling than anything else. What do
Speaker 2: you think about his comments about making Canada the fifty
Speaker 2: first state or the fifty first and fifty second state.
Speaker 10: Well, I think he's half serious. There are some strategic
Speaker 10: advantages behind that. I don't think that would happen, but
Speaker 10: we shall see. I think that's one of the ways
Speaker 10: that he's kind of poking at Trudeau that Canadian people
Speaker 10: absolutely love President Trump. They don't like Trudeau. One bet,
Speaker 10: one of the potential next prime ministers of Canada will
Speaker 10: be here in Texas with me this week and we're
Speaker 10: going to have a long sit down to talk about that.
Speaker 10: Why would President Trump want Canada and from his perspective
Speaker 10: what he thinks otherident Trump's all about. But you know,
Speaker 10: going back to the Panama Canal in Greenland that has
Speaker 10: one move and that move is China, Canada would be
Speaker 10: the same. Most people don't realize that CCP has troops
Speaker 10: in Canada. Canada is really trying to take over Canada.
Speaker 10: They really used tradeaux in some bad ways to a
Speaker 10: pummel the people of Canada. So that China is the
Speaker 10: route is the main reason between all three of those.
Speaker 2: Well, and I think President Biden, also at the behest
Speaker 2: of the Communist Chinese Party, made a lot of moves
Speaker 2: in this country during his term, which is thankfully, prayerfully
Speaker 2: almost over to to enslave the American public and make it.
Speaker 2: But the problem was, we have a different constitution than
Speaker 2: the one they have in Canada, and we have a
Speaker 2: court system that wouldn't let Joe Biden do all the
Speaker 2: things that maybe his Chinese masters would want him to do.
Speaker 2: And I say Chinese masters with no small grain of salt,
Speaker 2: because we know about Joe and his family's involvement in
Speaker 2: Chinese business deals used to influence US policy. We know
Speaker 2: about that, And you're right. Strategically, Greenland just makes sense
Speaker 2: because not only the Chinese, but also the Russians are
Speaker 2: in the Arctic, and they're all very very busy, and
Speaker 2: they're very very focused on the top of the world,
Speaker 2: so to speak. So why shouldn't America claim their share,
Speaker 2: especially when Greenland is just off the north northeast coast
Speaker 2: of the United States, They're on the North Atlantic Shelf.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, it's strategic for many, many reasons. And there's only
Speaker 10: fifty six thousand people that live in Greenland, so it
Speaker 10: wouldn't be it would be a benefit to the people
Speaker 10: of Greenland. They want to I think there's a poll
Speaker 10: out over the weekend sixty or more of the people
Speaker 10: in Greenland would like to spin off and get away
Speaker 10: from Denmark. So it makes sense for both parties, right.
Speaker 2: And you see Don Trump Junior's trip to Greenland where
Speaker 2: just landed in the middle and all these Greenlanders are there.
Speaker 6: Going Yeah, Usa, USA.
Speaker 2: They'd love to be a part of this revolution and
Speaker 2: be welcomed in to the United States as a territory
Speaker 2: or anything else. The Panama Canal was built largely by
Speaker 2: America and the United States dollars and workers and carved
Speaker 2: out this canal to bring shipping to a more modern
Speaker 2: standpoint instead of having to go around the horn of
Speaker 2: South America to get shipping done and commerce done. And
Speaker 2: it was signed away. And sadly, the Communist Chinese and
Speaker 2: many other entities, but mainly the Communist Chinese once again
Speaker 2: are the ones that are exerting control over the canal.
Speaker 2: And that's simply that simply is not right. It's not
Speaker 2: good for the country. And what do you think the
Speaker 2: solution is. I mean, do you think any of these
Speaker 2: things are going to come to a military kind of end?
Speaker 10: David, Yes, I think they. You know, President Trump has
Speaker 10: the art of the deal. He has said in both
Speaker 10: locations Greenland and also the Panama Canal that military options
Speaker 10: are on the table. And he's absolutely right because those
Speaker 10: are a national security interest in both Greenland more so
Speaker 10: in the Panama Canal for military purposes, but also economic purposes.
Speaker 10: If China really wanted to choke off the United States
Speaker 10: of America and our goods coming in. They would just
Speaker 10: shut that Panama Canal down. And as you said earlier,
Speaker 10: we create habits. So you know when Jimmy Carter sold
Speaker 10: that for a dollar that was not in the best
Speaker 10: interest in the United States of America for shipping. We
Speaker 10: put blood and money into building the Panama Canal and
Speaker 10: we need to have that back. And I know Congress
Speaker 10: has put a couple of bills forward as soon as
Speaker 10: President Trump comes to be aggressive and get the Panama
Speaker 10: Canal back and also Greenland. So I do believe he's
Speaker 10: going to make those bolts happen.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you hope to think Jimmy Carter, as
Speaker 2: an avowed Christian, has gone to his glory now and
Speaker 2: it's with the Lord. But what do you think the
Speaker 2: legacy of Jimmy Carter is overall? When you think about
Speaker 2: stuff like the Panama Canal, when you think about the
Speaker 2: creation of the Federal Department of Education and the Department
Speaker 2: of Energy and all these things that occurred during Carter's administration,
Speaker 2: what do you think his final chapter will be here
Speaker 2: on Earth?
Speaker 10: David, Well, between him and Biden will go down in
Speaker 10: history as the two where's president we've ever had, and
Speaker 10: it's not even close. You mentioned Iran as well, taking
Speaker 10: a pro Iran and make them the Ayatola, which is
Speaker 10: extravagant or extreme Islam that has caused problems for our
Speaker 10: partners in Israel's caused problems for the United States of
Speaker 10: America when we have hostages held hostage for four hundred
Speaker 10: and forty four days, all from Iran. Where look at
Speaker 10: Iran today, they are a menace on the face of
Speaker 10: the earth. They want to have It's not if they'll
Speaker 10: use nuclear weapons. They will. And some Christians who don't
Speaker 10: get into the Old Testament don't realize what a threat
Speaker 10: Iran is. That's Persia. They're trying to re establish the
Speaker 10: Persian Empire, just like the prophet Daniel said would happen
Speaker 10: in the end days. And they truly believe if they
Speaker 10: attack nuclear wise, the great Satan the United States and
Speaker 10: little Satan Israel, that they're twelfth Mihaidi, their Messiah will
Speaker 10: come back. So it's not if they'll use the weapon,
Speaker 10: they will use the weapon. And the biggest form of
Speaker 10: security we have out there today.
Speaker 2: I didn't know Islam had a Messiah I thought Christianity
Speaker 2: was the only religion that actually has a true Messiah.
Speaker 10: Well, they call it their Mahadi. It's the twelfth Mahadi
Speaker 10: that they'll believe that will come back in the prophet
Speaker 10: to lead them to Mohammad. And they truly believe by
Speaker 10: an attacking of a nuclear weapon would bring this twelfth
Speaker 10: Mahadi back.
Speaker 6: Jeez.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first it was the seventy Virgins, and now it's
Speaker 2: this Pastor Scarlett. I really appreciate your perspective, both as
Speaker 2: a marine and also as someone who has observed these
Speaker 2: events from a spiritual standpoint. And I can't tell you
Speaker 2: how much I appreciate your time tonight. Any anything that
Speaker 2: you want folks to know as we close out though
Speaker 2: in a couple of minutes, Well.
Speaker 10: I just wanted everybody to know that to get a
Speaker 10: little bit bumpier just before the day the President Trump
Speaker 10: takes office, and then especially in the first couple of months,
Speaker 10: but breakthrough is coming. Lord's listen to the prayers. I
Speaker 10: think we're gonna have the greatest revival in the history
Speaker 10: of the world. We just got to get through these
Speaker 10: bumpy periods.
Speaker 6: First Truscott and is there.
Speaker 2: A website address for people to learn more about your
Speaker 2: ministry and your outreach.
Speaker 10: Yes, you can go to hisglory dot m ME to
Speaker 10: get all of our twenty four to seven broadcasts. We
Speaker 10: have twenty four seven TV broadcast, Bible Studies, Church, everything
Speaker 10: right there. And then we have his glory Dot TV
Speaker 10: where we do movies like January sixth with Nick Serci.
Speaker 10: We've got three of them. We've got Capital Punishment, We've
Speaker 10: got War on Truth, and then we have a four
Speaker 10: part series and then we also are exclusive with Laura Logan.
Speaker 10: The rest of the story is on his Glory TV
Speaker 10: as well.
Speaker 2: And prayerfully, I believe that come next Tuesday, perhaps or
Speaker 2: as soon as he's sworn in, President Trump will a
Speaker 2: free a lot of those, if not all, of the
Speaker 2: January sixth prisoners. Let's pray for that.
Speaker 10: Yes, we're praying. We're praying for that.
Speaker 2: All right, Pastor Scarlett, thank you so much, and have
Speaker 2: a blessed evening.
Speaker 10: Thank you, God, bless you.
Speaker 2: God, bless you. Pastor David Scarlett with us as we

Speaker 19: to ODOTS Kathleen Fuller, what's the next step after that?
Speaker 5: Here's Sean Gallagher as.
Speaker 13: The steel girders arrive and are put in place. Kathleen
Speaker 13: Fuller with ODDS says it's a big step in repairing
Speaker 13: the southbound lanes and the Ifour seventy one bridge, which
Speaker 13: have been closed to traffic since November first.
Speaker 2: Fire.
Speaker 13: Fuller says the most crucial step to comes the pouring
Speaker 13: of the new concrete deck on that span, and doing
Speaker 13: it during the winter provides a challenge.
Speaker 22: Never do those in the winter months. We only do
Speaker 22: those during typically the warm weather months. So our contractor's
Speaker 22: great Lex Construction, They've got a great plan in place
Speaker 22: that we hope that will work, that they can actually
Speaker 22: pour the concrete in these colder temperatures.
