Wild Man, what is the what is the 69 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.199 b in your bonnet? What is really burning you up 70 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:19.839 right now? 71 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.399 Well, now let's start with the positive. The NFL playoff 72 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.839 games first there going Yeah, over the. 73 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.319 Weekend, all the games, you know, all the games were good, 74 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.720 but I mean the best game, the best game of 75 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.240 the weekend was last night. 76 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.000 Oh I Washington, Washington. 77 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.240 And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twenty three twenty Washington winning 78 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:46.160 their first playoff game in some twenty years. And I thought, 79 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.639 if you were watching the game, Gary Jeff, it sounded 80 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.040 like there was more Washington fans there than Buccaneer fans. 81 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.680 They were making a lot of well and it was 82 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.000 the one game all weekend where the game was really 83 00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.879 in doubt all the way. 84 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:00.959 True, it was close. 85 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.560 We had some blowouts this weekend, didn't Yeah. 86 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:07.839 We knew that. 87 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:08.600 You go ahead. 88 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.040 Well, let's see go ahead, thirty two to twelve Texans 89 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:12.639 and Chargers. 90 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.319 That was a big yarner. The only good thing out 91 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.680 of that game was Joe Mixing. Great to see him 92 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.399 rush for over a one hundred plus yards and touchdown. 93 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.680 Then you had you had the joke of the game 94 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.240 of the week, the Bills and the Broncos thirty one seven. 95 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.319 That that was everybody would rather see the Bengals and Bills. 96 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.480 But I digress. 97 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.839 And then he had the Eagles and the Packers that 98 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319 was like twenty two to ten. And then you had 99 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.879 the Ravens and the Steelers, and that really was That 100 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:39.959 game was over really in the first half that the 101 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.439 Steeler did try to make a comeback end up being 102 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.480 twenty eight to fourteen. 103 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.959 You know a lot of those games too. 104 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.879 We look at those games and Gary Jeff, but the 105 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.759 reason those teams won they had a balanced passing and 106 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.439 running game. And the running game in the playoffs that 107 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.199 can make the difference. You've got a running game, you 108 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.720 could possibly get to the Super Bowl. 109 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.720 Oh yeah, no question about that. But I thought and 110 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.800 right now as we speak, the Vikings are taking on 111 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.680 the Rams in Arizona because of the wildfires in LA. 112 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.720 So we'll see how that all turns out, and that 113 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.879 that's the final piece to figure out who's playing where 114 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.480 next week. But I'm looking at the second round. This 115 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.680 is where I think the playoffs really get tight. 116 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.360 This is where separates the men from the boys. 117 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:30.120 You will see some very intensely close games I'm predicting 118 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.480 in round two and and we'll find out if the 119 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.639 Chiefs layoff hurt them. I mean, they're they're not going 120 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.160 up against the Baltimore Ravens, but the Ravens just look 121 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.959 unbelievably tough and they have really the latter half of 122 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.800 the season. They look like a team to beat. And 123 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.959 to see the Bills. You know what is it, Ravens 124 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.040 and Bills next weekend? 125 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.759 Yeah, Ravens and the Bills in Buffalo. 126 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.439 Yes, I mean that that may determine who wins the 127 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:11.920 super Bowl. You know, totally discounting the NFC, but I'm serious. 128 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.920 You want to talk about strength against strength, and I 129 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.040 think the Ravens are just a little bit stronger than Buffalo. 130 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.480 And it's hard to say that because you've got on 131 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.560 both teams, you've got MVP candidate quarterbacks, you've got a 132 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.000 running game. You've got a defense on both sides for 133 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.399 both teams that can just eat people up. And we 134 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.560 saw that this weekend lesser teams, But to see these 135 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.519 two Juggernauts going neck and neck next week is going 136 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.879 to be especially in Buffalo. Can you believe those crowds 137 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.839 in Buffalo. You know, Darryl Parks, who used to be 138 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.920 our program director here is from the Buffalo area. He's 139 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.720 he's living there again. He's back in Buffalo. He goes 140 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.079 to every Bills home game, and I communicate him with 141 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.759 them by text, uh from time to time, and I 142 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.800 did again after the game and just going well on 143 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.759 to round two, stay tuned, and he was like, yeah, 144 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:17.360 we're ready for whatever happens. Buffalo's Buffalo to me seems 145 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.600 like a logical choice. But then it's hard to beat 146 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:28.160 that one two tandem of you're talking about, uh, you 147 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.240 know Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry. Yeah, Lamar Jackson and 148 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:36.240 Derrick Henry. And then you got Sequon Barkley for the Eagles. 149 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.159 So I mean, there's a lot of power in the NFC, 150 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.080 but the AFC, I think, is where you're going to 151 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.080 see the Super Bowl champion, Yes or no? 152 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.000 I don't know about that, because I really like the 153 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.360 Detroit Lions. I really do. 154 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.639 And I hate to say this, the ruin the rant 155 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.879 on the Commander's Parade, but they're there. They're run, They're 156 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.080 run towards UH And the playoffs is going to end 157 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.840 next week in Detroit. I mean, you talk about a 158 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.600 place that's going to be fired up to go into. 159 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.279 I want to go back to the Buffalo Ravens game. 160 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.200 Home Field advantage means a lot in the playoffs, and 161 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.480 that's one thing that the Bills have. The Ravens are 162 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.399 gonna have to fight through that. 163 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.919 I doubt if they have very few Ravens fans in Buffalo, 164 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.840 if they even they dared even to enter that place. 165 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.399 But that might be the best game next weekend. But 166 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.360 the Lions they're waiting, they've been waiting for this. They 167 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.720 learned their less than last year. You know, you know 168 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.840 a lot of teams have to lose one. Who's a 169 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.759 tough game to you know, get back on the path 170 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.559 that Dan Campbell is not going to screw things up 171 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.039 up there in Detroit. 172 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.000 They they'll take care of Washington. 173 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.000 Do you think that the Texans are going to mount 174 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.320 a good challenge to Kansas City and week in next 175 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.320 week's games. 176 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.879 No going to Kansas City. No, no, not no. 177 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.720 It might be close in the first half, but in 178 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.840 the end that the Chiefs will win that game. 179 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.240 The Chiefs will win that game. 180 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.879 So you said you were upset about the Orange Bowl. 181 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.200 What upset you about the Orange Bowl? O? 182 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.240 You said you have a case of the asks the 183 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.960 arms Still I'm still steaming there. 184 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:03.600 I mean love. 185 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.240 I'd love the Notre Dame one because They're gonna play 186 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.039 Ohio State and I'll be cheering so hard for the 187 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.200 Irish to knock off Ohio State. 188 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:12.639 To win the National championship. 189 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.840 But following the game, following the game, garay jef, I 190 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.799 don't interrupt me here. But following the game, ESPN reporter 191 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.919 that dupus bimbo Molly McGrath maybe she maybe, maybe she 192 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.639 had orders to ask this question, but she asked Notre 193 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.679 Dame coach Marcus Freeman, or what are your thoughts of 194 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.320 being the first black head coach to play. 195 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.559 In a National championship game? And Marcus Freeman did the 196 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:38.000 great thing. 197 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.919 He took you pause for about five seconds and then said, really, 198 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.480 you know this, this has nothing to do and I'm 199 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.039 glad we're here and he coached it would want to play. 200 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.360 Why are they going to bring up race? What is 201 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.840 the ESPN's thing about bringing up race every week? 202 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.720 The hell every time McGrath. 203 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.360 If by McGrath had any scruples or any integrity, she 204 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.360 would have said no, I'm not asking that question. 205 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.399 But she went to keep her job. And if you 206 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.720 watch that interview, she kept looking at her. 207 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.159 Phone while he was talking, so they were either sending 208 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:06.879 her messages. 209 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.519 But that has no place in football. That is no 210 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.080 place anywhere in sports. Bringing up something stupid in the 211 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.519 Audit is stupid by that woman. 212 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:16.600 Number one. 213 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.840 She has no integrity. And ESPNT what are their ratings? 214 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.519 Sucks so bad? 215 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.759 Well does somebody? As you mentioned, we're feeding her questions? 216 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:29.879 What is the deal? Where? Why do you even belong 217 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:34.879 interviewing coaches or players If you can't ask your own questions, 218 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.720 if you've got to be fed them through an IFB 219 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.279 or through your phone, you know what I mean. They 220 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.399 don't trust her to ask her own questions. They don't 221 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.919 trust her to ask the pertinent questions, but they entrust 222 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.159 her with a phone so she can see the woke 223 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.399 questions that somebody wants them to ask. You've got a 224 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.000 bunch of young gun that. 225 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.320 Is bush that's really bush league that you can't ask 226 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.559 your own questions. Like I said, integrity to go along 227 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.639 with that, she has none, And I hope I run 228 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.240 into her somewhere down the line. 229 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.480 All you got to look is, look is what they 230 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.039 did with Sage Steel when she disagreed with men playing 231 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.840 in women's sports and they let her go. They fired 232 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.000 her because over this, And this is ESPN as a culture, 233 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:27.440 Disney as a culture is so woke at the corporate top, 234 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.639 that's all they cint They concentrate on the things that 235 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.320 divide us instead of the things that unite us. In 236 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:38.279 sports are supposed to unite us, not separate us into 237 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.919 race groups or gender groups or any other groups. We're 238 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.200 just fans. We just want to see a good game, 239 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:45.840 wild man. 240 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.399 It's a part of our earth day life, you know. 241 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.879 And to bring in something from the outside and bring 242 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.759 that kind of crap up and kind of supposed to 243 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.080 be a release from me every day, you know, the 244 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.559 burdens of the work, work, world, whatever, and to bring 245 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.159 that up, I has no business whatsoever. I was so 246 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.679 steemed if I have been Elvis out of shot a 247 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:04.279 hole in the TV. 248 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.799 It might wild Man, it might have been a valid 249 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:12.039 question in nineteen sixty four or sixty five. We're talking 250 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:17.120 about sixty years on. You don't need to separate us 251 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:21.480 by skin pigmentation. And the left do it over and 252 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:26.600 over and over again in ESPN is one of the 253 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.000 leading symptoms of that disease as a media entity, and 254 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:32.240 they do it all the time. 255 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:38.480 Yeaman, you're right. His answer was class all the way. 256 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.559 His answer was perfect, Jenny. I think I think that 257 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.159 any coach should be excited, white, black, or any other 258 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.320 coach would be excited to be in this position. And 259 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.600 he's he's right. 260 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.840 And by the way, in ESPN, by the way, drop 261 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.559 the ball because Marcus Freeman is Asian, He's. 262 00:13:55.879 --> 00:14:01.200 Not black, he's Asian. Well, then they see it characteristics 263 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.879 and obviously you fit into some group and must check 264 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:08.039 some box, wild man, just like they just like they 265 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.000 tried to sell us that Kamala Harris was black when 266 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.519 she was Jamaican an Indian not either. Uh so. 267 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.480 Eight day you get out? Did you see her at 268 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.919 the funeral for Jimmy Carter? 269 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.720 Being totally ignored, Being totally ignored, by everybody else and 270 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.320 just sitting there in the chairs, steaming, going, I can't 271 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.440 wait to get out of here. 272 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.200 Put these cameras on me. 273 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.399 Yeah, And she looked behind us, old Trump and Obama 274 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.440 cracking jokes. 275 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.120 That look on her face. It looks good kill all 276 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.320 that was pless. 277 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.440 It was indeed, it was indeed, all right, wild man, 278 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.120 Let's ask uh, Let's ask you about the Bengals going forward. 279 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.200 Lou Anaerumo and that whole coaching block is gone. Zach 280 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.759 Taylor's still there. This is Zach Taylor's year. Either they 281 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.759 get it together. Either they I think if they Bengals 282 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.600 don't start the season three and oh Zach is gone, 283 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.039 what do you think do you think they'll pull the 284 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.000 trigger that quickly? 285 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.159 That's a valid question there, because Zach Taylor's record is stinks, 286 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.039 stinks to begin the season. The last three four years 287 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.440 they've they've started out, they've started out terrible. Zach Taylor 288 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.559 is on the hot seat, I believe, because he's claiming 289 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.399 this was his decision to get rid of the defensive coaches. 290 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.039 And he got rid of two more yesterday. 291 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.120 If you're if you're not aware of that, So they 292 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.120 got rid of two more coaches Mark Duffener and Louis 293 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.000 Chophi who had been around there for so long. 294 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.960 Uh, just I think just be taking a paycheck. So 295 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.720 they've cleaned their they've cleaned house. I don't know who 296 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:39.600 they're going to bring in. 297 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.320 I have no idea. Uh, it's up to Zach Taylor 298 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.480 to decide what he wants. 299 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.200 It's a good job to have considering, especially if the 300 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.720 Bengals have the brains to re sign t Higgins and 301 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.840 hopefully keeping Joseki around, because there's the way to get 302 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.039 around them. There's a way to get around the salary 303 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.639 capain Jerry Jeff Let's not forol anybody the other teams 304 00:15:58.679 --> 00:15:58.960 do it. 305 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.120 And Mike Brown I hate to bring this up. 306 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.919 He's not getting any younger, so somebody needs to get 307 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.279 to him to say, Mike, you know, we'd love to 308 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.679 get your Super Bowl championship, but you got to loosen 309 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.440 the purse strings. And what are the Bengals worths? Nine 310 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.480 billion dollars something like that. They've got the money, they've 311 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.159 got the money. 312 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:20.159 Well, wisely, just signing players and spending the money doesn't 313 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.159 always get it done. I E. Dallas, Jerry Jones right, 314 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.919 got plenty of money, spreads it around, but it doesn't 315 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.720 equal w's well. 316 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.480 Speaking of Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy couldn't have come to 317 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:35.519 the agreement. 318 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.600 On a contract. So now the job's open. 319 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.440 And couldn't we see because he has made comments about it, 320 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.320 the one, the only Deon Sanders going there to be 321 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.039 the head coach. 322 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:51.440 Oh, man, I don't know if Neon Dion has has 323 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.639 the chops yet. I mean, just a few years of 324 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:58.440 college coaching. Yeah, he's been successful. He's obviously a Dallas 325 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.720 Cowboy through and through. And you know, speaking of Homer 326 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.920 choices for coaches, how about Mike Vrabel going back to 327 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.240 New England Patriots. 328 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.480 This is I thought that was a great I was 329 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.200 a great move by the Patriots. 330 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.440 He's he just got to entered into the their their 331 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.920 Ring of Honor, their personal Patriots Hall of Fame. He's 332 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.680 part of their Super Bowl runs. And I think this 333 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.079 is what held him back the whole time at Tennessee, 334 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.440 because he wasn't as committed to that job as he 335 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.480 will be the Patriots job, I believe. 336 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.119 Oh, he's well respected to around the NFL. And the 337 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.839 Patriots didn't waste any didn't waste any time back to 338 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.400 back to Dion real quick, that's a that's a you know, 339 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.200 if he decided to take that job, that is such 340 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.920 a huge step because now you're dealing with multimillion dollar athletes, 341 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.839 not college kids. And I've heard Dion say time and 342 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.240 time again that he loves it in Colorado. So you know, 343 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.319 let's let's uh, we'll play. We'll play the game of 344 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.519 waiting to see what they what's going to go on down. 345 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.079 In the Big d. Anything else on your radar as 346 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.960 we exit this Monday night, I got a couple of 347 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:06.599 minutes left the wild Man. You have a soapbox, please 348 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.759 use it to preach. 349 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.400 Oh well, opening days not that far away, and Spring 350 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.079 training is like like less than thirty days away for 351 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.400 the Reds. Report in the lovely Goodyear, Arizona. 352 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:21.559 Out the Good Year. 353 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.279 No, I've never been out to good Year. 354 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.920 It's in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing to do, 355 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:30.319 there's no night life whatsoever. I'm still pissed that the Bengals, 356 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.920 i mean, the Reds love Sarasota. 357 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.240 They should be in Sarasota, Florida. They really should. 358 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.759 It's hard for the average Reds fan to go out 359 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.839 to good Year Arizona cost them an arm in a leg, 360 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.400 and you're first born if you want to go out 361 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.599 to Good Year Arizona to take in his Red spring 362 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.880 training games when you can just drove down to Sarasota. 363 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.799 I'm still mad that the reg left Sarasota.

It has begun and there's all kinds of 520 00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:54.079 craziness already being brought up, and not just by Democrats, 521 00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:58.960 to talk about some of that. Let's go ahead, Savannah, 522 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.680 what have you seen so far in this early legislative session? 523 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.400 What do you know? What's what bills are going to 524 00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:09.279 be talked about? What are you concerned about? What are 525 00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.720 you in favor of that? All of that stuff as 526 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.039 we begin the new session. 527 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:16.599 So far, the. 528 00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.759 Recurren theme that I am seeing is that legislators are 529 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:26.119 filing more bills to lower taxes, adjust taxes, things of 530 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.440 that nature. The only vote that we have taken so far, 531 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.839 the only substantive vote other than rules and convening in 532 00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.359 things of that nature, is to lower the income tax 533 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:40.880 rate from four percent to three point five percent. So 534 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.440 that's what we've done so far. Several of us in 535 00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.400 Northern Kentucky were supportive of an amendment that would have 536 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:54.119 taken that income tax down a full percent every year 537 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.599 moving forward until we eventually reached zero, because that has 538 00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:02.400 been the goal, the state goal of the Republican supermajorities 539 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:07.279 to eliminate the income tax. But unfortunately that amendment was 540 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.119 ruled out of order, so we weren't able to accomplish that. 541 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.319 But. 542 00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.599 Ruled out of order. Who ruled it out of order? 543 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.000 The Speaker of the House ruled it out of order. 544 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.039 So but the good news is this, when we come back, 545 00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.880 I think that we're going to see similar efforts over 546 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:27.640 in the state. 547 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:28.880 Senate to do just that. 548 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.519 Wow, and the Speaker of the House happens to be 549 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.599 a Republican. 550 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.519 Correct, Yes, Yes, what is the speaker's name? 551 00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:46.440 I'm just curious, Speaker Born, what's that speaker David Osborne? 552 00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:48.960 Oh, speaker David Osborne. I think it's important that the 553 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:54.240 voter know who the speaker is is ruling an amendment 554 00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:58.079 to eliminate the income tax in Kentucky is out of order. No, 555 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.359 that is all good news though, as far as reducing 556 00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.599 taxes or adjusting taxes, so it makes it a little 557 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.599 bit more palatable for the taxpayer to live and work 558 00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:15.319 in Kentucky. I'll get that. But there are in every 559 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.440 legislative session, Savannah, and you know this better than I do, 560 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:24.440 there are always some kind of crazy government control bills 561 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:30.519 of foot and rumors of them, and surveillance bills. And 562 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.160 you know, people forget sadly that we have a governor 563 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:37.599 that actually wanted to keep you out of church in 564 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.839 the name of public safety and was having sheriff's deputies 565 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.880 reporting license plate numbers of people who violated his dictates 566 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.160 in his order. People have a very very short memory. 567 00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:54.480 I can't believe that the Teachers' union alone could re 568 00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:59.200 elect Andy Basher, and yet it happened. But have you 569 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:05.279 heard about any any kind of anti anti republic bills 570 00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:09.279 that are alive or maybe rumored to be brought up 571 00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.759 but maybe by the Democrat legislator. 572 00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.759 So the way that the thirty day session works is 573 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.720 that we go in for just one week and then 574 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.160 we take this pretty substantial break before part two obsessions. 575 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.559 So there have only been four legislative days and in 576 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.599 that first week, you know, it's kind of a honeymoon 577 00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.319 period of session, if you will. And so much as 578 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:35.160 a lot of that nanny state garbage really starts to 579 00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:38.119 come when we get back. I mean, we have the 580 00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:42.279 normal bills that Democrats have filed that are, you know, 581 00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.720 in my opinion, objectionable. But for the most part, the 582 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.119 types of bills that you're talking about that I'm going 583 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.119 to soon be squawking about will come out in early 584 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.640 February in all likelihood, and you know, I remain ever vigilant, 585 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.559 but to be honest with you, I'm still kind of 586 00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:01.799 trying to fix some of the things that occurred last year, 587 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:07.799 and in particular the situation where the Kentucky General Assembly 588 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:15.119 banned e cigarette vap products and it's caused colossal damage 589 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.559 to Kentucky's small businesses. I mean, hundreds of businesses have 590 00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.200 been put out of business, thousands of jobs, and we're 591 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.720 talking about sixty three million estimated impact in terms of 592 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:31.920 revenue that the states just leaving on the table because 593 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.000 of what I view as the overreach of government. So 594 00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.440 I have legislation, how still sixty two and sixty three. 595 00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.000 One would suspend that law that they have passed and 596 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.720 the other would outright repeal it. That's the one I'm 597 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.319 hoping for. But you know, again, I don't think that 598 00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:52.920 it's the appropriate role of government to pick winners and 599 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.359 losers like we have seen with that legislation, and I'm 600 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.319 going to keep fighting for that in northern Kentucky across 601 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.839 the Commonwealth, there are a lot of people who are 602 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.559 upset because I don't vape, I don't smoke, I don't 603 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.920 do any of those things. But I also don't want 604 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:12.160 a corrupt nanny state government to pick winners and losers 605 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.960 in the free market. 606 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:18.559 Well, I think it's one thing to tell people what 607 00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:22.319 you know, the scientific facts about what's harmful you, harmful 608 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.440 for you, or what is good for you. It's quite 609 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.200 another thing to legislate that. And that's what you're talking 610 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:32.519 about with the nanny state stuff, Savannah. And I got 611 00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:35.599 to think that there's still a very strong tobacco lobby 612 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:41.359 in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and those people absolutely would 613 00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:46.079 be against vaping because it cuts into their business. Do 614 00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:48.960 you find that the tobacco lobby has the ear of 615 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:53.480 legislators in those counties where tobacco has always been king 616 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:56.440 or been king for a long time. Obviously, tobacco has 617 00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:59.880 been vilified and been pointed out to be a health hazard, 618 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.039 but I don't see any moves to ban the sale 619 00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:04.839 of cigarettes. 620 00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:10.400 Absolutely, and that is why the shield is covered. That 621 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:13.160 many legislators chose last session to vote on this bill 622 00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.920 being harm reduction, it's such a farce. The big tobacco 623 00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:22.680 lobbyists pen over five hundred thousand dollars pushing for this bill, 624 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.039 which is something that I put out there in the 625 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.119 open for the public and also in the context of 626 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.319 a floor speech, I made it abundantly clear that no 627 00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:33.920 matter what the sponsor of this bill was saying, this 628 00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.359 was going to ban all of these products that people 629 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.559 are purchasing and put these small businesses out of business. 630 00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:42.720 And that's exactly what happened. And you know, to your 631 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.480 point about harm reduction and the nanny state overreach, you know, 632 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.279 the appropriate role of government, whether it's COVID or whether 633 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.640 it's any of these other instances, is to provide accurate, 634 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.559 up to date information. It's not to ban things. And 635 00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:59.519 that's where I take issue because I've never had a 636 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.680 problem with the tobacco industry or any industry. These are 637 00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:06.200 choices that people are making, and again, up to date 638 00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.800 accurate information, not banning. But I still don't like the 639 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:13.639 premise of lobbyists being able to come in and you know, 640 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.880 create a situation where there are winners and losers by 641 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:21.360 virtue of using the force of government and the General Assembly, no. 642 00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.079 Doubt about it. Talking to Savannah Mannics on Ladies' Night 643 00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:28.039 at least until eleven o'clock on the Nightcap, I mean, 644 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:31.239 ladies can listen. After eleven o'clock. Our guests just won't 645 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:34.920 be women. So Savannah, if you will sit tight, we'll 646 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:38.159 come back and talk about some more stuff, and you know, 647 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:43.159 including the marijuana initiatives in Kentucky as we get into 648 00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:47.559 the twenty twenty five legislative session in the Commonwealth where 649 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.480 I live. It's the Nightcap and we continue with Savannah 650 00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:53.159 Matticks in just a moment on seven hundred WLW. 651 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:59.880 Meanwhile, in the intented Forest, the princess holds a ceremony 652 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.079 and Sir Racky. 653 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:04.880 Why, thank you, your majesty. This is quite the armor. 654 00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:05.679 Now off you go. 655 00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:07.760 Well this is it? You mean, we don't get a 656 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:08.719 castle or anything. 657 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:11.280 What you get is to go back to the radio 658 00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:14.079 station and entertain your millions of listeners. 659 00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:15.079 See oh body beat it. 660 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.360 Well that's one cranky princess. 661 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.840 I heard that. Buster Edy and Rocky give your day 662 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.679 a fairy Tale and Eddie. 663 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.239 And Rock Tomorrow afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW. 664 00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.239 O'm a Ladies' night night cap. Gary Jeff Here on 665 00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:34.239 seven hundred WLW. No reduced drink prices. In fact, we 666 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:36.880 don't have drinks at all because it's the radio and 667 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:41.039 we don't have a license. But hey, if we did, Savannah, 668 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:45.159 you'd be getting three for one. I guarantee. We want 669 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:48.000 to go back to the Kentucky legislative session and stuff 670 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:53.519 that's already been instituted, like medicinal marijuana in Kentucky. This 671 00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:58.239 is something that a lot of people lobbied for and 672 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.199 campaign for petition for for a long long time, especially 673 00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:10.199 since Ohio now has medicinal recreational there's weed everywhere just 674 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:15.119 across the river. Do you think, just personally, is this 675 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:19.440 something that is late incoming for the commonwealth or do 676 00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:24.119 you think it's been done judiciously and trying to see 677 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.679 all the facts that are in front of us. Just 678 00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:30.199 how do you feel about medicinal marijuana and will they 679 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:33.280 ever get it straightened out? Because it's taken some time 680 00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:34.760 to institute. 681 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:39.719 That's the thing. The implementation of this program has been 682 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:45.320 nebulous at best, and I have received a multitude of 683 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:51.119 complaints from people who filed for a license and paid 684 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.760 a fee, and there have been and you know, to 685 00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:58.079 be clear, I have not been intimately involved with that process, 686 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:02.239 because once it leaves the legislatures in it becomes an 687 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:06.159 administrative function. You know, some might use the word bureaucratic function. 688 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:12.039 But long story short, Kentuckians were overwhelmingly clear that although 689 00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:15.320 there was some opposition, and without a doubt strong opposition, 690 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:19.039 but for the most part, Kentuckians were overwhelmingly clear that 691 00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:24.320 they wanted to enact medicinal marijuana. But one of the 692 00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:27.840 concerns that legislators had at that time about the legislation 693 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:32.039 is that it created barriers and a lot of hoops 694 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:34.119 to jump through, and I think we're seeing that in 695 00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:38.400 real time. And of course, we had a bill last 696 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.440 session that allowed county governments to decide whether or not 697 00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.599 their county would participate in the program. So that actually 698 00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:50.039 added an additional layer, an additional barrier kind of to 699 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:53.320 overcome for some of these areas. So I think it'll 700 00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.639 be interesting to see if any tweaks are made to 701 00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:59.800 that policy this session or what that looks like. I 702 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:04.400 have not yet heard anything along those lines, but that 703 00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:05.599 remains to be seen. 704 00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:09.920 Well, shouldn't it be a community standards issue instead of 705 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:14.880 a state issue anyway? Should in towns and communities decide 706 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.840 with the people who live there decide whether they're going 707 00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.360 to allow this or not. I mean, it's kind of 708 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:26.840 like the states and federal law, where you know, the 709 00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:29.920 federal laws is one thing, but each individual state. You know, 710 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.559 the Dobbs decision when it came to abortion, gave that 711 00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:38.800 issue back to the states, and locally people decide in 712 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:41.639 their area and their neighborhood and their town and their 713 00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:45.320 county whether or not they're going to allow something that 714 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.199 heretofore has been illegal, or you know, a social topic 715 00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.639 that has not agreed upon by all. Do you see 716 00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:57.280 what I'm saying. I understand why you would want a 717 00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.079 chance to opt out. 718 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:04.719 Sure, well, And it's funny. One of the bigger conundrums 719 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.920 of my time serving an office is that in Frankfort's 720 00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:12.559 local control that they will often say local control's best 721 00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.559 until it isn't, meaning that they pretty well decide. 722 00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:17.920 They'll use the. 723 00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:20.840 Argument of local control when they don't want to take 724 00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:23.519 action on something and don't want to take that hard vote, 725 00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:28.360 but any other time they are perfectly willing to march 726 00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:32.559 in and take control from counties on issues that certainly 727 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:35.199 should be at the county and local level. But the 728 00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:39.519 issue of medicinal marijuana is particularly interesting because yes, I 729 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:42.119 would agree with you on the premise of local control, 730 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.920 but we still have this question of federal control on 731 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:51.119 this issue as well, so that becomes a little bit 732 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:56.079 more complicated. But you know, I do think that Kentucky 733 00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:00.400 is on track to get a program role out that 734 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.880 will be beneficial. It's just going to take some time. 735 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:05.039 I mean, I think we can both think of a 736 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.159 program that's been under ray for several years that isn't 737 00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:12.639 really on track or doesn't seem to be working out well. 738 00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.920 And I'm of course talking about the real id implementation 739 00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:19.840 in the regional offices that I kind of liken that 740 00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:23.519 to this circumstance. If anytime that we pass a bill 741 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:26.599 and we kind of put it over to administrative control 742 00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:30.760 within a cabinet, there's gonna usually be some follow up 743 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.039 work on that to hopefully improve it. 744 00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:39.320 Somebody told me, and they're an individual rights kind of person, 745 00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:43.239 you know, sovereign kind of individual person, and they told 746 00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.000 me that the real ID, they cannot keep you from 747 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.559 getting on a plane. Yeah, I think they told me 748 00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:52.679 you got like three strikes and then they'll crack down 749 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:56.119 on it. But supposedly, what may first twenty twenty five, 750 00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:58.280 you can't hop on a plane in Kentucky unless you've 751 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.639 got this real ID. Let's talk about that and talk 752 00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:07.800 about I don't know. I have great problems with this myself. Thankfully, 753 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:12.320 I don't fly very often. And you know, especially when 754 00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:16.199 you've cut illegal immigrants being flown all across the country 755 00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:21.920 with no ID whatsoever at their whim by our tax dollars, 756 00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:24.440 and you're going to make me, as an American citizen, 757 00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:27.199 jump through all these hoops just to have this ID 758 00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.599 that says I can get on a plane. To me, 759 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.199 this is utterly ridiculous, Savannah. 760 00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.039 It is utterly ridiculous. And it goes back to a 761 00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.639 knee jerk reaction all the way twenty years ago in 762 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.119 two thousand and five, after nine to eleven, where the 763 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:48.400 federal government decided that they needed to clamp down on, 764 00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:52.440 you know, law abiding citizens and make us jump through 765 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.159 all these hoops. But it took twenty years to get 766 00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:57.320 all of the states on board, and there were many holdouts. 767 00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.760 Kentucky with the holdout for a long time under governor 768 00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.880 by then he held out and held out and finally relented. 769 00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.719 But in Kentucky, we had previously administered the driver's license 770 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:11.480 program through the administrative Office of the Court, i e. 771 00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:14.360 Your circuit clerks, right. 772 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:15.639 So what they did they took. 773 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:18.199 That out from under the circuit clerks because they tried 774 00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.079 a pilot program of issuing these real IDs, and in 775 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:26.119 excuse me, Fayette and Woodford Counties, that pilot program purportedly 776 00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:27.159 was unsuccessful. 777 00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:28.360 So they took it out. 778 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:32.840 From under them, and they created these regional offices, and 779 00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:35.840 that out in eastern Kentucky, for example, folks were having 780 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:39.679 to drive three hours just to renew their driver's license, 781 00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:41.840 and you know, in some of the rural counties, they're 782 00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.320 having to drive pretty far. I mean, I'm fortunate that 783 00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:48.079 I've got Burlington and Independence not too far away, you know, 784 00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:51.400 here in the sixty first House district. But it has 785 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:55.480 been difficult and for people to get appointments, and I 786 00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:58.360 was able to get an appointment pretty easily and get through, 787 00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.920 but not everybody wants this real idea. And I would 788 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.360 like to remind folks that they can still get a 789 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.880 standard issue driver's license, but that is not going to 790 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.920 be sufficient, like you said, to get on an airplane 791 00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.599 or to go into certain types of federal buildings. But 792 00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:17.599 you can use a passport to do that if you 793 00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.599 choose not to have your driver's license have the chip. 794 00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:22.800 And that's what I'm going to elect to do, is 795 00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:25.280 to use the passport instead of the driver's license, because 796 00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:26.840 I just would prefer a standard one. 797 00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.840 Yeah, well, that's again, that's quite a hoop to jump 798 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:33.000 through for if you don't have a passport already. You 799 00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:35.719 have to provide the same kind of information basically that 800 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.000 you have to provide for a real ID. I just 801 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:42.880 find it, say it's a great invasion of my privacy personally, 802 00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:50.039 but that's me also generally, I agree. January first, just 803 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:55.960 twelve days ago, you have to complete a vision test 804 00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:59.480 to get a driver's license in Kentucky. Now, Savannah, mind you. 805 00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:02.000 I will tell tell you that I see people every 806 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:06.920 day with Kentucky tags who obviously can't see. So I 807 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.639 think that it's a good thing that you prove you 808 00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:14.679 can actually see to drive. Okay, let's but are these 809 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.880 driver's license centers, the courthouses and the like where you 810 00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:23.519 can get a vision screening test. Right there are they 811 00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:26.840 also going to open up in America's best office so 812 00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:29.159 you can get the cheap glasses you need if you 813 00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.280 need them to pass your test. This is what I 814 00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:31.920 want to know that. 815 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.159 That's one of the big problems with that I have 816 00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.320 with that bill. I actually voted no on that. I 817 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.480 agree with you, people need to see when they get 818 00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:40.119 behind the wheel. 819 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:40.559 But if you. 820 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.480 Look at these statistics from the National Highway Foundation, I 821 00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:47.239 didn't say that right, I didn't give you the right 822 00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:49.840 accident racornym for that. But long story short, if you 823 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:53.679 look at that data is not even listed among the 824 00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.039 top causes of motor vehicle accidents National Highway Safety. There, 825 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:01.480 I got it anyhow, it's not even listed. So the 826 00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:05.760 idea though, of implementing that at a time whenever we're 827 00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:09.920 already having problems with these regional offices. And one of 828 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:12.000 the things that they had said about the regional offices 829 00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.880 is oh, you can renew online. Well, with a vision 830 00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.760 screen you're not going to be able to do that anymore. Frankly, 831 00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:22.039 you know, making folks do stuff online or presenting that 832 00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:24.519 as a side option. You know, it may be good 833 00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:27.239 for some people, but there are a lot of folks, 834 00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.599 particularly the older folks in our community, are people who 835 00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:33.000 choose not to conduct business on the internet. You know, 836 00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:35.039 they need to be able to go to an in 837 00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:38.000 person location that's not super far. But you know, I 838 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:42.400 worry about that as well with that implementation, and even 839 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:44.800 at one point, I remember when that bill was being lobbied, 840 00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.119 the optomologists and the optometrists initially had a problem with 841 00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:53.760 it because you are giving folks a false and security 842 00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:57.079 about their vision health by you know, them thinking that, oh, 843 00:45:57.159 --> 00:45:59.719 I took this vision screening, so I'm good when they're 844 00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:04.320 a if other conditions, I'm obviously not a position. But 845 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:08.320 there are other conditions that your optometrist screams for that 846 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:12.719 aren't going to show up on that standard vision screening. 847 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.719 So yeah, I wasn't for that. But hey, we will 848 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:18.519 agree that you definitely should be able to see well 849 00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:21.880 before operating a motor vehicle. We will agree there. 850 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:26.239 Well, and you should be able to pay attention if 851 00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:29.559 I see somebody else and I will probably on my 852 00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:34.079 way home tonight holding up their phone while they're driving 853 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:40.519 down the interstate and switching lanes. There have been times, Savannah, 854 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:42.880 I wanted to pull them right over and make a 855 00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:48.639 citizens to rest. But thank you so much for being 856 00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:51.000 part of our little Ladies Night here, and thank you 857 00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:53.519 so much. I hope it will have many more chances 858 00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:54.760 to talk in the new year. 859 00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:57.800 Absolutely, thanks so much. 860 00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:04.679 You bet it, oh well, Savana Mattis. We continue in 861 00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:12.320 moments on Ladies' Night with Elena Barbera on seven hundred WLW. 862 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:19.599 News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred w l W, Cincinnati. 863 00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.400 A big step forward in bridge repairs with the ten 864 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:25.960 o'clock report on Sean Gallagher breaking. Now the first steel 865 00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:28.800 girders being put in place by iron workers today, with 866 00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:32.159 more to arrive this week. Kathleen full of the Dodds 867 00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:34.920 says it's an important part of the process to fix 868 00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.920 the I for seventy one bridge, as the most crucial 869 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:41.199 step is being the pouring of the concrete deck, which 870 00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:43.079 could be tricky during the cold months. 871 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.320 Especially with doing concrete deck purse. We never do those 872 00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:48.079 in the winter months. We only do those during, you know, 873 00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:51.760 typically the warm weather months. So our contractor's great Lex Construction, 874 00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:53.360 They've got a great plan in place that we hope 875 00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.880 that will work, that they can actually pour the concrete 876 00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:57.000 in these colder temperatures. 877 00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.000 All are at it that their timeline for reopening the 878 00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:02.320 southbound lanes Big Backbridge continues to be mid March.

Garry, 936 00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.320 Jeff and I've been waiting for this conversation. I had 937 00:50:53.320 --> 00:50:55.639 to actually I don't know what happened. Then you were 938 00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:57.599 going to have her last week and had to put 939 00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:01.480 it off. But it is a conversation that needs to 940 00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:05.800 be had whenever it can be had, as germane to America, 941 00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:10.119 to its children, to its parents, to its citizens, to 942 00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:14.679 its future. And that is all of the money that 943 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:20.840 has been spent on DEI by the government in education. 944 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:25.119 You know, you hear about DEI and how the big 945 00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:29.360 corporations are not They're firing all of their DEI hires 946 00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:32.280 because they realize that it's a road to nowhere. Is 947 00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:35.679 the federal government so slow on the uptake that they 948 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.960 can't see what the trend is and what the people 949 00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:42.519 actually want. They should since the election of November fifth, 950 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:46.840 understand that the woke go broke, the DEI should be 951 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:51.800 doa mentality is here in America. Among us finally, a 952 00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:55.480 majority of people have had enough. And along with that 953 00:51:56.679 --> 00:52:03.199 the pushing of porn in America's classlassrooms in public schools 954 00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:06.480 in many, many states. More than I even imagined that. 955 00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:09.119 Its shocked me to find out that there as many 956 00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:13.719 as thirty nine states in the country that allowed basically 957 00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:19.039 what anyone would call porn in their children's classrooms. This 958 00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:25.239 is a psychological pedophilia in my mind that has been 959 00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:29.440 perpetrated in part by the federal government, and it's time 960 00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:34.199 to end. And toward that end, our guest is Elena Barbera, 961 00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:38.039 also known as the Based Mother, a leading advocate for 962 00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:41.559 parental rights and anti grooming, a Christian mom, an author, 963 00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:46.320 a documentary filmmaker. The documentary film is called American Groomer, 964 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:50.039 and you can see Elena in that as she narrates 965 00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:54.800 with other guests from groups like Gays Against Groomers and 966 00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:59.239 other people who are concerned about not just this nonsense, 967 00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:05.000 but at this anti human, anti American kind of push 968 00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.599 that has been going on now for far too long. 969 00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:10.519 Elena Barbera, Welcome to the show. 970 00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:13.000 I'm so happy to be here. 971 00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.840 So yeah, this push that you're talking about that's happening 972 00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.880 to our children, I mean, I don't even know where 973 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.719 to begin when you're talking about the DEI and the 974 00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:29.199 pornography and the transgender ideology, teaching children to hate themselves 975 00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:33.039 at every level. Hate yourself if you're white, hate yourself 976 00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:36.840 if you're black, because you're being oppressed, and also hate 977 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:41.000 the oppressor. Then hate the body you're born in. Distrust 978 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.679 your parents because they may have assigned you the wrong 979 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:47.400 sex at birth, and they or when they assigned your 980 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:50.920 sex at birth, they assigned you the wrong gender. So 981 00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.840 don't trust them. You know, come talk to your teachers. 982 00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:56.679 You can keep secrets with strangers, and it's good to 983 00:53:56.760 --> 00:53:59.320 do that, to keep secrets from your parents, because they 984 00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.480 don't really unders stand you. I mean, hate America. It 985 00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:05.360 just goes on and on, like it's just this massive 986 00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:07.239 indoctrination machine. 987 00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:10.480 And how does the American, average American fight it. 988 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:12.519 Well, I feel like we are. 989 00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:14.920 We have turned a corner a little bit just in 990 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:18.239 the last six months to a year because of people 991 00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:22.519 like you, and because you know, groups like yours are 992 00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:25.360 getting the message out and people are understanding and they're 993 00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:28.360 shocked to find out. I'm not a parent, so I 994 00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:32.880 don't have any little boy or little girl coming to 995 00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:35.960 me and go, Danny, this is what they're teaching us 996 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.599 in school. But I know that it's going on, and 997 00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:44.000 it just even though I'm not a parent. You and 998 00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:48.199 I were talking, Elena, it still should matter a great 999 00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:51.519 deal to me as an American citizen, as a taxpayer, 1000 00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:56.159 that my tax dollars have been going to this nonsense, 1001 00:54:56.280 --> 00:55:01.800 the DEI crap. Now by by almost a billion dollars 1002 00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:05.679 in grants according to the figures I've seen on DEI 1003 00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:10.559 based education grants, millions in Minnesota. No surprise that they 1004 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:14.719 picked Tim Walls as their vice presidential candidate. Who who 1005 00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:19.639 believes in tampo and tampons and boys' bathrooms the Department 1006 00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:23.320 of Justice. Now, now, what the hell does the Department 1007 00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:27.480 of Justice have to do pardon my language, in spending 1008 00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:32.239 one hundred million dollars plus pushing DEI and what they 1009 00:55:32.280 --> 00:55:36.840 call restorative justice in our classrooms. I thought the Department 1010 00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:39.320 of Justice was about upholding the rule of law in 1011 00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:41.079 the country. I guess I was wrong. 1012 00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.039 So they have this little piece of their missions of 1013 00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:48.000 their Mission States statement where they talk about, you know, 1014 00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:49.760 upholding civil rights. 1015 00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:53.039 So what you know, this whole DEI. 1016 00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:55.239 Thing, a lot of it is saying that people are, 1017 00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:57.599 you know, their rights are in jeopardy, which is an 1018 00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:02.559 absolute lie. Every American citizen has every right that they 1019 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:06.119 could possibly want or need on the you know, to 1020 00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:09.840 live for one hundred years and in the pursuit of happiness, 1021 00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:13.679 and so it's a lie right there. So now the 1022 00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:17.360 Department of Justice has these departments within them which is 1023 00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:22.000 all about DEI and try, and you know, state sanctioned discrimination, 1024 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:23.400 which is all it really is. 1025 00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:25.199 And so you know, they. 1026 00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:28.679 Take their lies and then they're yous twisting that civil 1027 00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:31.960 rights angle to make it seem like children's rights are 1028 00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:34.400 being violated and they need to teach them about it. 1029 00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:38.920 And that's the only line that can be drawn to 1030 00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.320 why the DOJ would be doing this. If they got 1031 00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:45.199 rid of their crazy DEI department, they would have no 1032 00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:47.440 connection to this whatsoever. 1033 00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:48.800 It's very disturbing. 1034 00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:51.519 Well, I would I would think as a parent, as 1035 00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:54.960 a loving parent, you would want your children to have 1036 00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:58.519 reinforce values that you teach in them the home, that 1037 00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:02.440 would tell them to be proud and strong and not 1038 00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.960 ashamed and weak. And that's as you mentioned, that's what 1039 00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:11.079 DEI and CRT teaches, is that because you are white, 1040 00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:14.039 or because you are black, or because you came from 1041 00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:18.039 this ethnicity or this family or that family, that you 1042 00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:23.840 are either somehow an oppressor or a victim. And this 1043 00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:29.599 whole specter of victimology that's been pushed is only being pushed, 1044 00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:34.119 in my opinion, to further divide us. And it's divide 1045 00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:38.800 and conquer. It is Marxist, it is evil, it's what 1046 00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:45.880 every communist totalitarian state does to a otherwise free state 1047 00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:48.440 or country, a free republic like ours. 1048 00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:50.480 It's all about. 1049 00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:57.559 Dividing us and driving us apart. And most importantly and 1050 00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:02.039 most sadly, it's about poisoning the future of a culture. 1051 00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:08.599 It's about poisoning the next generation to tell them that 1052 00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:13.039 the way you were born that doesn't matter, that can 1053 00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:17.480 that can be changed. That's fluid, which is scientifically and 1054 00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:21.400 spiritually a lie, as you mentioned. 1055 00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:24.239 And it's just science fiction, is what it is. 1056 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:29.320 Yes, it's total science fiction. Or because you have white 1057 00:58:29.360 --> 00:58:35.559 pigmented skin, somehow you are responsible. You yourself as an individual, 1058 00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:40.760 are responsible for the hardships and the oppression of others. Again, 1059 00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:48.320 total lies, totally done to drive wedges between people. When 1060 00:58:48.760 --> 00:58:52.840 this country was built on individual rights and individual freedoms 1061 00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:58.119 and and not not this group think and not these 1062 00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:01.679 divisive kind of poly that have been pushed. 1063 00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:05.440 How do we combat all that? 1064 00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:09.800 Well, first, this is you know, one of the things 1065 00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:12.400 that I'm trying to do is spread awareness about what's 1066 00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.559 happening to our children. And people are in either in 1067 00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:18.440 denial that it's happening, or they will say it maybe 1068 00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.800 happening in a blue state somewhere, but that's certainly not 1069 00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:25.559 happening here, which is absolute nonsense. Or they'll say something like, well, 1070 00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:27.360 I don't have kids, so it's not my problem. 1071 00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.840 So, you know, even if it is happening, And to 1072 00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:31.559 all of. 1073 00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:33.800 That, I say, first of all, this is happening in 1074 00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:37.639 red states and blue states, in all fifty states actually, 1075 00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:40.519 so it is legal to show pornography to children in 1076 00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:43.639 schools and libraries in close to forty. 1077 00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:44.599 States right now. 1078 00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:47.320 But even in the states, which is a mind blowing 1079 00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:49.559 statement that I can't believe is true, but it is. 1080 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.559 And then there's you know, even in the states where 1081 00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:54.239 it's not legal, it's still. 1082 00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:58.039 Happening because no one is stopping is coming out and 1083 00:59:58.079 --> 00:59:58.599 stopping it. 1084 00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:01.360 No prosecute or sheriffs are. 1085 01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:04.000 Stopping it because they don't want to be called bigots 1086 01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:09.199 and transphobes and racists, because they'll put pornography under you know, 1087 01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:13.440 they'll wrap it in some you know, gender identity story 1088 01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:17.199 and if you if you protest the pornography part of it, 1089 01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:19.519 it's just that you're a transphobed. That's what they'll call you. 1090 01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:22.400 So this is happening at such a rate and in 1091 01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.519 such volume that it would blow your mind. So the 1092 01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:27.920 first step is getting people aware of it, and then 1093 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:30.280 the next step is getting people to realize what they 1094 01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:33.639 can do to stop it. Because you may say, oh, 1095 01:00:33.639 --> 01:00:35.800 I don't have kids, but let me tell you. The 1096 01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:38.920 trauma that we're putting on these kids with sexual grooming, 1097 01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:42.559 which leads to physical sexual abuse and sex trafficking very quickly. 1098 01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:45.719 The trauma that we're putting on them with teaching them 1099 01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:47.960 to hate their country and hate themselves. 1100 01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:49.880 And look at each other through racial lens. 1101 01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:54.480 Only all of that in five, ten, fifteen years, these 1102 01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:56.719 kids are going to grow up to be a bunch 1103 01:00:56.719 --> 01:01:01.320 of defunct, mentally twisted adults who cannot get through life 1104 01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:05.360 because of the trauma that they have been inflicted that's 1105 01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:06.559 been inflicted upon them. 1106 01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:08.639 So if we think we have a mental health crisis 1107 01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:09.639 in our country. 1108 01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:11.519 Now, just wait, just wait. 1109 01:01:11.719 --> 01:01:17.079 Oh my gosh. And Elena Barbera, this current Department of Justice, 1110 01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:21.760 this current Attorney General, Merrick Garland has famously, during his 1111 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:27.679 term in that position, called parents domestic terrorists because they 1112 01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:31.519 were protesting at school boards in places like Loudon County, 1113 01:01:31.599 --> 01:01:37.880 Virginia against this nonsense. And that's all it is. It's 1114 01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:44.039 just nonsense that we're talking about the DEI and the CRT. 1115 01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:51.079 And also, I think more traumatic is this porn that's 1116 01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:55.039 being peddled. And you said thirty nine states allow porn 1117 01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:57.400 in the classrooms, and it's happening in the other states 1118 01:01:57.440 --> 01:02:00.400 where it's not allowed because, as you mentioned, law enforcement 1119 01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:04.360 and sheriffs are afraid to be called names and bigots 1120 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.960 and transphobes and the like. And I'm telling you that 1121 01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:13.519 to me, the first time I saw a video of 1122 01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:17.320 the Drag Queen's Story Hour with these five year olds 1123 01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:25.480 and this person who is all made up as a 1124 01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:28.760 woman when it's simply not a woman, clearly not a woman, 1125 01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:34.599 I thought that is that's pedophilia. We as a society 1126 01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:40.400 make sex offenders register before they move into a new 1127 01:02:40.440 --> 01:02:43.719 neighborhood if they've been convicted of a sex crime, particularly 1128 01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:47.960 with children. How can we be in the same breath, 1129 01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:52.559 how can we be allowing those same kind of perverts 1130 01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:58.199 in classrooms to be pushing this ideology. That's the disconnect. 1131 01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:01.960 I don't get why why aren't why aren't we Why 1132 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:06.280 aren't we requiring teachers to register as sex offenders when 1133 01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:08.679 they push this nonsense on our kids. 1134 01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:14.480 Hey, hey man, well again, because in most cases there 1135 01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:18.360 is it's legal. They are criminally exempted. They're exempted from 1136 01:03:18.360 --> 01:03:21.840 any criminal prosecution. What these statutes are called are obscenity 1137 01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:24.559 exemption statutes, which means that you can show this to 1138 01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:27.159 a child and it doesn't matter how hard the pornography is, 1139 01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:29.880 it doesn't matter how young the child is. If you 1140 01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:32.280 can say, well, this is part of part of our 1141 01:03:32.360 --> 01:03:36.039 lesson today and it's part of his education. But there's 1142 01:03:36.039 --> 01:03:39.360 no problem, no handcuffs. So I think what's happening is 1143 01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:42.679 there's a larger push to normalize pedophilia. 1144 01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:45.440 Look at the people who were saying that pedophiles. It's 1145 01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:46.079 a mean word. 1146 01:03:46.119 --> 01:03:48.039 It's mean to call them pedophiles, so we have to 1147 01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:52.400 just call them minor attracted persons, you know. So to 1148 01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:56.239 try to normalize everything, to try to normalize talking to 1149 01:03:56.400 --> 01:04:00.639 children about sex. Now, you know, we're starting in tihood 1150 01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:05.480 and pre k talking to children about their gender and 1151 01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:07.880 how do they feel. Do they feel like a boy, 1152 01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:09.880 do they feel like a girl, talking to them about 1153 01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:13.000 their genitals and how they feel about it. I mean, 1154 01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:15.840 I am not that old, but I am from I 1155 01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:19.960 mean up until five minutes ago in history, anybody that 1156 01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:22.719 came up to a toddler, a young or any child 1157 01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:25.639 that started talking to them about their private parts was 1158 01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:28.400 the town pariah. And they were probably going to be 1159 01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:31.519 taken out back somewhere and beat to a pulp if 1160 01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:33.480 they were allowed to even stay in town at all. 1161 01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:36.800 I'm sorry to be so direct, but that's the truth. 1162 01:04:37.519 --> 01:04:39.719 And now, all of a sudden, we have to embrace 1163 01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:41.960 these people and let them have their voice. 1164 01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:45.440 This is coming down from the White House. 1165 01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:50.880 The teachers' unions, the American Library Association, the Human Rights Campaign, 1166 01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:55.039 Plant Parenthood, and Seeks, and they all have influence in 1167 01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:59.239 schools in all fifty states, and they all pressure teachers, 1168 01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:02.960 even the ones that don't want to do it, to 1169 01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:05.800 push this stuff because they hold their jobs over their 1170 01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:08.280 heads and the rest of them they're in on it 1171 01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:10.639 and they love it, and I can't figure it out. 1172 01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:16.079 Teachers' unions are, in my opinion, one of the most 1173 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:21.760 evil factors in education today. And that's not saying anything 1174 01:05:21.840 --> 01:05:26.760 bad about teachers. That's not saying anything bad about public education. 1175 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.920 It's just a matter of fact. Look at the things 1176 01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:33.960 that teachers' unions, as you just brought up, support and 1177 01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:41.880 push among their members. And it all starts at the 1178 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.199 top too. I mean, this is happening on local levels, 1179 01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:49.000 but the Federal Department of Education, which I hope, I 1180 01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:52.599 pray to God that someday soon it will be completely 1181 01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:59.559 eliminated or decentralized. Because I graduated high school the year 1182 01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:03.800 that the DOE was signed into law by Jimmy Carter, 1183 01:06:04.719 --> 01:06:08.280 and at that time, the United States was number one 1184 01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:11.760 in the world in education before the Department of Education, 1185 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:16.039 before the Federal Department of Education. Today it's we're twenty 1186 01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:22.840 fourth and falling fast. So obviously, a federal Department of Education, 1187 01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:28.960 which you know, only nine percent of local schools, only 1188 01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:31.440 nine percent of their budgets comes from the Feds, but 1189 01:06:31.719 --> 01:06:35.880 ninety percent of the curriculum does. And the Federal Department 1190 01:06:35.880 --> 01:06:41.119 of Education has been so infested with the teachers' unions 1191 01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:44.840 and the powerful lobbies in Washington, d C. If it's 1192 01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:48.599 not moved out of DC, it should be just it 1193 01:06:48.639 --> 01:06:53.480 should be eliminated. Your opinion on that, well. 1194 01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.639 I absolutely think that there. Well, their focus isn't on 1195 01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:59.079 education anymore. They're constantly just popping in new curriculums that 1196 01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:03.400 cost ten of millions of dollars just enrich their friends. 1197 01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:06.280 And I can only imagine if we could follow the money, 1198 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:11.119 people would be getting kickbacks. Their focus again, the DOE 1199 01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:17.159 spent a billion dollars during the Biden administration on DEI programs, 1200 01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:21.320 which include everything about racism, MELGUMBTQ and all that. Their 1201 01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:25.760 focuses on social services for children. So you hear all 1202 01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:28.559 the governors, especially in blue states, saying, oh, we need 1203 01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:31.280 to give children two meals a day, breakfast and lunch 1204 01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:34.000 for all children, not just children who need it. They 1205 01:07:34.039 --> 01:07:37.599 have therapists in schools. Now, there's a school in Massachusetts 1206 01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:40.440 where kids can get haircuts for free. Now they're bringing 1207 01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:43.920 in medical services in the schools. They're trying to create 1208 01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:48.760 government addicted children, and so they're not in the education 1209 01:07:48.960 --> 01:07:49.719 is so. 1210 01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:52.559 Far down on the list of priorities. 1211 01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:56.199 And it shows only forty percent of American public school 1212 01:07:56.199 --> 01:07:58.800 students can read at or above grade level. 1213 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:02.159 That's sixty that can't. 1214 01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:04.840 Yeah, well, Joe Joe Biden said for eight hours a day, 1215 01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:08.840 they're our kids, didn't he say that? That's an exact 1216 01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:12.920 quote from from the current sitting president who sounds like him, 1217 01:08:13.079 --> 01:08:16.319 Thank goodness, is only going to be in office another 1218 01:08:16.399 --> 01:08:22.359 week and and I have I have great hope. I mean, 1219 01:08:22.399 --> 01:08:25.039 the machine is so large, but I have great hope 1220 01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:28.800 that Pam Bondy as Attorney General head of the DOJ, 1221 01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:35.000 puts an end to this, ceases it immediately upon being 1222 01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:41.560 confirmed and taking office. Every day I just I just think, Okay, 1223 01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:44.439 we've just got another few days and things are going 1224 01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:48.920 to turn around. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic at that point. 1225 01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:53.479 Tell Elena Barberber tell me about American Groomer. 1226 01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:57.680 So my film is about the sexualization of children in 1227 01:08:57.760 --> 01:08:59.039 American public schools. 1228 01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:00.000 Fifty mins. 1229 01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:02.880 Kids are being subjected to this every single day. 1230 01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:06.560 A little bit about the history of how it happened, who's. 1231 01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:10.159 Behind it, and what we exactly how horrible this is 1232 01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:11.800 for kids, and what we can do about it. And 1233 01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:14.600 it's free to watch.

Of course, this 1302 01:12:47.119 --> 01:12:53.279 week is the beginning of a confirmation week, and we 1303 01:12:53.399 --> 01:13:00.000 hope it goes quickly for President Trump's nominees. In place 1304 01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:02.840 is like the Department of Defense in all the major 1305 01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:08.039 cabinet positions, but they're beginning this week with the grilling 1306 01:13:08.760 --> 01:13:12.399 of Pete Hegseth and Doug Bergham the former governor of 1307 01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:15.520 North Dakota, who is going to be a part of 1308 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:20.119 the Trump administration, hopefully in the Energy Department. What do 1309 01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:24.520 you see as we get ready for inauguration Day one 1310 01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:28.279 week from today and President Trump is sworn in and 1311 01:13:28.279 --> 01:13:31.359 if he gets the nominees that he is selected in, 1312 01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:36.079 do you see this being a whole big turnaround or 1313 01:13:36.159 --> 01:13:41.119 are are we just chasing rainbows here thinking that you 1314 01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:45.119 can change the machine in Washington, d C. With something 1315 01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:48.199 as simple as a landslide election. 1316 01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:51.800 Well, I want all your listeners to first of all 1317 01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:55.439 realize that, well we all know January twentieth can't get 1318 01:13:55.439 --> 01:14:00.159 here fast enough, but the work is just beginning. The 1319 01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:02.880 work isn't over because we won in November. The work 1320 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.439 is just beginning. And as you said, it's a busy 1321 01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:08.920 week this week with all of the appointments and the hearings. 1322 01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:12.319 One thing President Trump said last week that I was 1323 01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:14.159 really glad to hear him say that one of his 1324 01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:16.119 first orders of business is going to be he's going 1325 01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:18.119 to release a report about the origin of all of 1326 01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:23.439 these crazy drones that we're seeing across the United States. 1327 01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:28.520 I mean there's not just a few states, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, California, 1328 01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.920 and Texas. And the concerning is some of those are 1329 01:14:31.920 --> 01:14:36.359 near the White Settlement community just outside of Fort Worth, 1330 01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:41.079 near the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve. That base is 1331 01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:43.039 in Fort Worth that houses the three hundred and first 1332 01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:47.159 Fighter Wing of the Air Force Reserve. This is very concerning, 1333 01:14:47.239 --> 01:14:50.560 and this is it's not some abstract issue for me. 1334 01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:54.960 This is very personal because on the night of Saturday, 1335 01:14:54.960 --> 01:14:58.840 December twenty first, about nine thirty pm, my very non 1336 01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:02.479 political neighbor called me saying, Lee, Lee, Lee, are you 1337 01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:05.359 seeing the drone over your house? I was inside my 1338 01:15:05.479 --> 01:15:10.439 home completely unaware, ran out, barely saw the lights going away, 1339 01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:13.880 but she had captured some video of it that she 1340 01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:19.199 sent to me. So I'm telling you this is completely unacceptable. 1341 01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:23.560 I think it's trying to be normalized with American citizens. 1342 01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:28.239 American citizens cannot normalize the acceptance of drones flying thirty 1343 01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:31.720 to forty feet over their homes and hovering. It's simply unacceptable. 1344 01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:38.880 Well, and you mentioned you're hopeful that President Trump sticks 1345 01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:40.840 to his guns and is true to his word and 1346 01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:44.079 saying he will get down to the bottom as best 1347 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.319 he can of the origin of these drones, where they're 1348 01:15:47.319 --> 01:15:51.600 coming from, why they are there, and who was behind them. 1349 01:15:52.359 --> 01:15:55.600 And I think every American wants to know these things, 1350 01:15:56.239 --> 01:16:03.880 especially after the just enormous amount of sightings in New Jersey. 1351 01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:06.840 And I'm thinking to myself, got New Jersey? 1352 01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:08.600 What right? 1353 01:16:08.720 --> 01:16:12.000 What what do they want with New Jersey? Uh? You know, 1354 01:16:12.039 --> 01:16:16.960 I just kept flashing back to War the Worlds by H. G. Wells, 1355 01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:22.279 where the the the aliens, the space aliens invaded New 1356 01:16:22.359 --> 01:16:26.000 Jersey of all places first. So I was just like 1357 01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:28.680 going back in my mind. You know what's funny, Lee, 1358 01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:33.159 is all all of us who have pointed out these 1359 01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:39.560 incongruities and the lack of truth and transparency on so 1360 01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:43.760 many issues for years, yes, that our government has covered up. 1361 01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:47.800 We're called conspiracy theorists. We're called wackos. We're saying, we're 1362 01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:53.359 called crazy. I was called a conspiracy theorist during COVID. 1363 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:56.680 I was I've been called a conspiracy theorist about any 1364 01:16:56.800 --> 01:17:01.439 number of news stories that have wound up being appssolutely. 1365 01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:04.399 True, right, but covered up, I mean covered. 1366 01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:07.520 Up by the legacy mainstream media. And now, as we know, 1367 01:17:07.960 --> 01:17:12.760 Mark Zuckerberg saying, yeah, they pressured us to not let 1368 01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:17.520 certain things out on Facebook on Meta go ahead, please, well. 1369 01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:21.640 The Biden administration has escalated the orision of the public 1370 01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:24.840 trust in our national security, not only by his mental 1371 01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:28.239 absence and lack of strength, but by his lack of 1372 01:17:28.239 --> 01:17:32.439 transparency with this drone situation, and deservedly he's faced criticism 1373 01:17:32.479 --> 01:17:35.359 for lack of transparency over these drones, now reaching into 1374 01:17:35.359 --> 01:17:38.720 the hundreds across America, many of those here in North Texas. 1375 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:40.880 You know, might I remind you it was just a 1376 01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:45.319 year ago the weather balloon fiasco, where weather balloons were 1377 01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:49.640 left to traverse our entire nation from west to east 1378 01:17:49.720 --> 01:17:53.199 until they were shot down on February fourth by the 1379 01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:55.720 US Air Force. They shot it down over the US 1380 01:17:55.800 --> 01:17:58.199 territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina, but in 1381 01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:02.800 it already traversed higher country. And it wasn't until after 1382 01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:05.000 it was shot down that they say, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, 1383 01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:09.359 this was a Chinese spy balloon with massive surveillance capabilities. 1384 01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:15.800 What what government allows that to happen? I have to 1385 01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:19.319 believe I have really zero doubt if President Trump were 1386 01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:23.039 in office that weather balloon, first of all, wouldn't even 1387 01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:26.039 have even tried it to come across our nation, but 1388 01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:29.119 it certainly would not have made it across the entire country. 1389 01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:32.800 No, and just in the same way that I don't 1390 01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:37.359 believe Hamas would have attacked Israel on October seventh of 1391 01:18:37.439 --> 01:18:38.439 twenty twenty three. 1392 01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:41.880 Agree. 1393 01:18:42.199 --> 01:18:48.439 And this incursion, you know, it's the incursions by Putin 1394 01:18:49.319 --> 01:18:56.399 into Eastern Europe. First, it was crimea happened under which president, 1395 01:18:56.600 --> 01:19:03.840 not President Trump, President Obama. The incursion into Ukraine happened 1396 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:07.159 not under President Trump. Putin never would have tried that 1397 01:19:07.319 --> 01:19:12.840 under Trump, but it happened under Joe Biden. Weakness always 1398 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:19.039 breeds this kind of aggression out of our enemies every time. 1399 01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:19.479 Right. 1400 01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:24.039 Peace through strength. Peace through strength. It's three simple words. 1401 01:19:24.319 --> 01:19:27.680 It means the world. It means the difference between peace 1402 01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:31.119 or wars. It means the difference between America and Americans 1403 01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:35.159 getting attacked. It also means the difference between Americans being 1404 01:19:35.159 --> 01:19:39.439 expected to accept and be fine with drones flying thirty 1405 01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:41.760 feet over their house simply unacceptable. 1406 01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:46.600 So I mean, any any kind of description of this 1407 01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:50.920 drone that your neighbor caught on video, what it looked like. 1408 01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:53.560 So as you know, yeah, when you're looking in the air, 1409 01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:56.960 things always look smaller, you know, than they are. It 1410 01:19:57.119 --> 01:19:59.720 looks to be in the video, it looked to be 1411 01:19:59.800 --> 01:20:03.520 a four feet wide, fairly square, maybe a little rectangle, 1412 01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:07.119 but more square. I mean, this isn't a kid's toy, 1413 01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:12.720 you know, this was a pretty massive aircraft. And you know, 1414 01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:16.279 I've talked to several people about my right to privacy 1415 01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:20.439 Americans rights to privacy. Constitutional originalists argue there is no 1416 01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:24.000 rights to privacy in the Constitution. However, there's Supreme Court 1417 01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:27.079 ruling stating back to the nineteen twenties that recognize there's 1418 01:20:27.119 --> 01:20:30.840 three important clauses with broad privacy rights in our own 1419 01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:34.520 homes and on our personal property. They're implied but not 1420 01:20:34.560 --> 01:20:36.840 specific in the Bill of Rights. For example, first Amendment, 1421 01:20:36.920 --> 01:20:39.840 we have the right to have privacy of our own beliefs. 1422 01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:43.279 The third Amendment the right to protect our homes against 1423 01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:46.600 the government forcing us to house soldiers. That that's the 1424 01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:50.760 third Amendment. The fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches within 1425 01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:52.520 the home. Well, let me tell you something. I want 1426 01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:54.600 to know what that drone over my home was doing. 1427 01:20:54.600 --> 01:20:56.680 I want to know doesn't have x rahibition because we 1428 01:20:56.720 --> 01:21:00.319 know the technology is very common and I belie leave 1429 01:21:00.640 --> 01:21:03.439 the fourteenth Amendment said, no state should deprive any person 1430 01:21:03.439 --> 01:21:05.800 of life, liberty, or property. That's a violation of my 1431 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:09.520 personal property right. When an energy is flying a drone 1432 01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:13.600 over personal homes, they are invading personal property. And I 1433 01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:18.880 believe that that is an invasion and invasion of property 1434 01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:22.520 without reason or a warrant, and I believe it's unconstitutional. 1435 01:21:22.920 --> 01:21:25.039 Amen, I tell you what, that's a great place for 1436 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:27.720 us to break. Lee, We'll come back. Lee walms Gance 1437 01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:30.520 is with us to talk about the state of the 1438 01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:35.000 nation and to talk about hopefully where we're going in 1439 01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:39.079 about a week's time, at least turning around this big 1440 01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:42.000 ship we call the United States of America. It's the 1441 01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:46.279 Nightcap and it continues in mere moments on seven hundred WLW. 1442 01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:49.119 When do you like to listen to Scott Sloan? 1443 01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:51.880 Whenever I need a good solid dose of common sense, 1444 01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:52.960 I'm listening to Sloaney. 1445 01:21:53.079 --> 01:21:54.760 I can always use some slowy common sense. 1446 01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:57.399 But he's more than common sense. He's smart and funny, 1447 01:21:57.479 --> 01:21:58.000 and he's. 1448 01:21:57.800 --> 01:21:59.960 Not all preachy with an agenda. He actually speaks. 1449 01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:02.279 He ought to win a Nobel Prize for not being 1450 01:22:02.319 --> 01:22:03.920 a talk show t bag. 1451 01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:06.359 Talk show t bag. I think you mean talk show. 1452 01:22:06.239 --> 01:22:07.159 D bag whatever? 1453 01:22:07.239 --> 01:22:07.960 You know what I mean? 1454 01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:12.199 Scott's loan Untilmorrow morning at nine on seven hundred WLW, 1455 01:22:12.640 --> 01:22:15.319 and check out his podcast on the three iHeartRadio. 1456 01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:19.039 Ad run a business and not thinking about podcasting? Think again. 1457 01:22:19.520 --> 01:22:21.920 More Americans listen to podcasts than ads supported. 1458 01:22:22.079 --> 01:22:25.640 We'll see founding board member, executive director of Patriot Mobile Action, 1459 01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:28.760 and someone who just had a drone hovering over her 1460 01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:30.199 house in North Texas. 1461 01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:31.560 Who is it? 1462 01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:34.800 What were they doing? And why were they inviting her? 1463 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:39.319 Invading her home? Those are the questions. Speaking of invasions, 1464 01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:44.720 Hopefully another invasion is about to end. The mass invasion 1465 01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:49.239 of foreign criminal trust passers on American soil known as 1466 01:22:49.359 --> 01:22:54.840 illegal immigrants, and the open border, no border welcome policy 1467 01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:59.600 the Biden administration has had seemingly is about to end. 1468 01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:02.479 But is it too little, too lately, that's the question. 1469 01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:06.279 Well, we have certainly been invaded, and this is going 1470 01:23:06.319 --> 01:23:09.279 to take a lot of work to write the ship. 1471 01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:12.039 You know here in Texas. The official numbers, and now 1472 01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:14.000 you need to understand when I give you these numbers, 1473 01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:16.319 this does not include the god away, so it's probably 1474 01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:19.880 ten times this the official numbers, more million people have 1475 01:23:20.000 --> 01:23:23.479 verified across over border during the Biden administry. 1476 01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:24.159 More than how many million? 1477 01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:27.560 Eleven million is what's verified. 1478 01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:32.039 And just across the Texas border, you're not including you're 1479 01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:35.359 not including California or Arizona. 1480 01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:38.399 Now, and what people hear all these big numbers all 1481 01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:40.840 the time. And by the way, that's not including the 1482 01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:43.720 god Aways. You know that it's at least four times 1483 01:23:43.760 --> 01:23:48.439 probably ten times that. But eleven million, that's a number 1484 01:23:48.520 --> 01:23:51.159 larger than the population in forty of our states. In 1485 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:55.319 Texas is only like what little over thirty one million people. 1486 01:23:55.840 --> 01:23:58.720 That's a third of our state. This is a lot 1487 01:23:58.800 --> 01:24:03.840 of illegal immigrants, and they are criminals simply by the 1488 01:24:03.880 --> 01:24:07.319 fact that when they crossed our border illegally, they broke 1489 01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:12.359 the law. Okay, Texas authorities alone have ceased more than 1490 01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:16.720 five hundred lethal doses of fentanyl. That's enough fentinel to 1491 01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:21.520 kill every man, woman, and child in America and Mexico. 1492 01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:25.319 That is what Operation loaneest Are and our Texas authorities 1493 01:24:25.720 --> 01:24:28.960 have done since March twenty twenty one. This has just 1494 01:24:29.159 --> 01:24:32.640 really been insanity. The invasion has been going on a 1495 01:24:32.680 --> 01:24:36.119 long time, and as I said, President Trump can't get 1496 01:24:36.159 --> 01:24:40.800 in there fast enough. Looking very forward to legal immigration 1497 01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:43.640 only and closing the border to illegal immigration. 1498 01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:47.119 Well, if the god aways are estimated to be four 1499 01:24:47.239 --> 01:24:54.359 times as many as the official number, that's yeah, that's 1500 01:24:54.479 --> 01:24:57.000 like more than ten percent of the population that was 1501 01:24:57.000 --> 01:24:57.760 here before. 1502 01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:01.399 Because should be very alone. People should be very like. 1503 01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:05.119 I saw a report the other daily by someone else, 1504 01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:06.960 and I can't remember, I can't put my finger on 1505 01:25:07.000 --> 01:25:10.079 who it was at this point, but they were talking 1506 01:25:10.159 --> 01:25:15.239 about one thousand, one thousand man terror network that is 1507 01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:18.960 ready to strike at any time. And this is the 1508 01:25:19.079 --> 01:25:22.279 reason that this is. This is one of the reasons 1509 01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:25.000 this is so important, not to mention the terror of 1510 01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:28.000 the fentanyl that's been brought across the border illegally, which 1511 01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:32.600 is certainly a terrorist act. It's it's narco terror if 1512 01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:37.840 nothing else, if not political terror, just to undermine the 1513 01:25:37.880 --> 01:25:43.159 American people. Then you've got all of the screens on 1514 01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:51.159 taxpayer supported resources from from education to medicine, and you 1515 01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:56.079 know the gift cards and listen, we're a very generous people. 1516 01:25:57.479 --> 01:26:02.880 We want to help our neighbor generally, but this is 1517 01:26:03.399 --> 01:26:07.199 absolutely more than we should bear when it takes away 1518 01:26:07.279 --> 01:26:11.439 resources from American born citizens. And that has happened over 1519 01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:14.399 and over that there are schools that have been taken 1520 01:26:14.439 --> 01:26:19.439 over as migrant shelters, and the activities for the kids 1521 01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:23.119 who were born here are canceled. They're moved off of 1522 01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:28.840 their campuses. So the illegals not to mention the bills, 1523 01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:33.039 the billion dollar bills for the luxury hotels that have 1524 01:26:33.119 --> 01:26:36.399 been paid for by you and me as American taxpayers 1525 01:26:37.720 --> 01:26:39.119 in New York City and elsewhere. 1526 01:26:40.159 --> 01:26:42.600 So your viewers need to see Line in the Sand. 1527 01:26:42.680 --> 01:26:46.199 It's a fairly new documentary by James O'Keefe, and it 1528 01:26:46.319 --> 01:26:50.279 is alarming. They go into a lot of these areas 1529 01:26:50.319 --> 01:26:53.880 and are filming what's really happening, what taxpayers are really 1530 01:26:53.920 --> 01:26:58.039 paying for. They go to New York, they disguise themselves 1531 01:26:58.079 --> 01:27:02.239 as an illegal immigrant. They're handed everything they need. They 1532 01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:05.279 interview the police officers there. The police officers just say, hey, 1533 01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:08.039 you voted for this, and they are just so beat down. 1534 01:27:08.800 --> 01:27:11.039 But in Texas alone, you talked about the costs. In 1535 01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:15.199 Texas alone, the Federation for American Immigration Reform put out 1536 01:27:15.199 --> 01:27:17.960 a report in twenty twenty three. I almost want to 1537 01:27:17.960 --> 01:27:19.960 say last year. I still can't get used to being 1538 01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:22.640 twenty twenty five. But in twenty twenty three. So keep 1539 01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:24.199 in mind, we've got about a year and a half 1540 01:27:24.199 --> 01:27:27.680 of cost not estimated into this, but it's over thirteen 1541 01:27:27.960 --> 01:27:31.880 billion dollars a year caught. That's what illegal immigrants cost 1542 01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:33.119 Texas alone. 1543 01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:39.319 Texas taxpayers thir thirteen thirteen billion, just in Texas thirteen billion. 1544 01:27:39.399 --> 01:27:42.680 This report is from March eighth, twenty twenty three. Texas 1545 01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:46.640 taxpayers are paying nearly thirteen point four billion dollars a year, 1546 01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:54.279 and that includes they're housing, their their education, indigent medical care. 1547 01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:57.359 And that doesn't even include all of their medical care 1548 01:27:57.479 --> 01:28:04.279 because federal law requires Texas public hospitals to treat anyone 1549 01:28:04.359 --> 01:28:11.520 regardless of their nationality, regardless of their immigration status. In 1550 01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:16.399 August of this year, Texas Governor Abbott came forth with 1551 01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:21.159 an order for Texas public hospitals to start counting the 1552 01:28:21.239 --> 01:28:26.760 cost of illegal immigration care that we're giving. Not saying 1553 01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:29.439 you can't give it because federal law requires it, but 1554 01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:31.960 to start counting the costs. So keep in mind when 1555 01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:34.479 you're listening to that thirteen point four billion number, that's 1556 01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:37.720 not even including real medical care from all of Texas 1557 01:28:37.720 --> 01:28:42.399 public hospitals. They haven't even reported yet. That requirement went 1558 01:28:42.439 --> 01:28:46.159 into effect November one, twenty twenty four. So we've just 1559 01:28:46.319 --> 01:28:49.319 started to count that medical care cost. And we've got 1560 01:28:49.439 --> 01:28:52.239 veterans who've served this country who can't even get their 1561 01:28:52.279 --> 01:28:56.239 medical care, dying of cancer, can't get their surgeries in time. 1562 01:28:57.039 --> 01:28:59.239 It's really it's just, you know, I don't know if 1563 01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:02.600 you is George Castanz's Opposite World. I don't know if 1564 01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:05.920 you're a Friends that show, But it's just like this 1565 01:29:06.079 --> 01:29:09.840 alternate reality. Nothing makes sense anymore. We've got to make 1566 01:29:09.880 --> 01:29:13.600 sense of the chaos and get America back or what's gone. 1567 01:29:13.880 --> 01:29:16.960 So not only are these migrants who enter the country 1568 01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:20.399 illegally and by the way, I think we'd be remiss 1569 01:29:20.720 --> 01:29:24.279 if we did not mention all of the NGOs and 1570 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:28.560 so called charity networks that are working with the criminal 1571 01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:33.279 coyote gangs to bring these people in, or the corrupt governments, 1572 01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:37.640 the corrupt failed governments in places like Venezuela who opened 1573 01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:41.720 up their prisons and pushed the criminals across our border 1574 01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:44.159 with a nod and a wink. 1575 01:29:44.560 --> 01:29:49.319 I mean, yes, we call them the human trafficking industrial complex. 1576 01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:55.319 America has created this human trafficking industry by this open 1577 01:29:55.359 --> 01:29:57.760 borders policy. And if you want to know what the 1578 01:29:57.880 --> 01:30:00.840 kindest thing that you can do to these women and 1579 01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:04.119 children and yes, some men, but mainly women and children 1580 01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:07.880 who are being brutalized by the sex trafficking and human trafficking, 1581 01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:10.880 is you close the border and you closed down that 1582 01:30:11.039 --> 01:30:15.439 human trafficking industrial complex that we have opened at the border. 1583 01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:19.439 Amen, Lee Walmscance, with just a couple of minutes left, 1584 01:30:19.520 --> 01:30:22.479 talk to me about China land, because this is something 1585 01:30:22.800 --> 01:30:25.600 else that I don't think is on a lot of 1586 01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:26.439 people's radar. 1587 01:30:27.560 --> 01:30:30.039 Well, it surprises a lot of people in the Texas 1588 01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:34.800 House of Representatives that we've not already banned China owning 1589 01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:38.239 land in the state of Texas, but our Speaker of 1590 01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:41.560 the House two sessions ago sent the House home instead 1591 01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:47.680 of holding hearings on the law that would have banned China, 1592 01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:52.359 run North Korea, and Russia from owning land in Texas. 1593 01:30:52.399 --> 01:30:56.720 But instead of having that vote, he decided to send 1594 01:30:56.760 --> 01:31:00.359 everyone home, so there wasn't a hearing. So therefore what 1595 01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:03.560 that means is it killed the bill. So all of 1596 01:31:03.600 --> 01:31:07.720 those countries can still own land in Texas, Texas and 1597 01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:11.279 every state in the nation. And I believe federally those 1598 01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:14.279 four countries should be banned from it. It might surprise 1599 01:31:14.319 --> 01:31:17.479 people to know Texas has the largest amount of foreign 1600 01:31:17.560 --> 01:31:22.359 held US agriculture land, with over five point six million acres. 1601 01:31:22.880 --> 01:31:28.119 Chinese investors specifically own over one hundred and twenty three 1602 01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:33.000 thousand acres of Texas agricultural land. China owns land near 1603 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:37.239 military bases under the cover of agricultural purposes. These Chinese 1604 01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:42.279 landlords can set up reconnaissance signs, install tracking technology scanning 1605 01:31:42.439 --> 01:31:46.720 to view bases, radar fly drones over them. Here comes 1606 01:31:46.760 --> 01:31:49.560 the drones again. Even the Wall Street Journal as there's 1607 01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:52.079 a September twenty twenty three Wall Street Journal report that 1608 01:31:52.119 --> 01:31:56.439 says Chinese intruders attempted to breach military facilities over one 1609 01:31:56.520 --> 01:32:01.439 hundred times in recent years. Says China owned land is 1610 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:06.520 near Fort Cavasos that's formerly Fort Cood, that's near Colleen, Texas. 1611 01:32:06.520 --> 01:32:09.840 And Camp Bullis that's just northwest of San Antonio. Seventeen 1612 01:32:09.840 --> 01:32:15.159 other bases around the country have China purchasing land around them. 1613 01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:18.560 It is a national security problem. It needs to be 1614 01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:21.600 solved at the state level in Texas. It also needs 1615 01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:23.239 to be solved at the federal level. 1616 01:32:23.039 --> 01:32:23.760 In Washington, d C. 1617 01:32:24.039 --> 01:32:25.800 Maybe things will turn around when we don't have a 1618 01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:28.880 president in office who's owned by the communist Chinese Party. 1619 01:32:29.159 --> 01:32:30.640 Maybe let's prayer. 1620 01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:33.119 That's our prayer.

However, 1649 01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:49.920 one figure wants to place conditions of future aid for 1650 01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:54.000 the Golden State. Here's ABC News National correspondent Stephen Portnoy. 1651 01:33:54.399 --> 01:33:57.279 The House Speaker says it appears to him that California 1652 01:33:57.359 --> 01:34:00.279 leaders have been derelict in their duty, water resource. 1653 01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:05.319 Smith's management, force management mistakes, all sorts of problems. 1654 01:34:05.479 --> 01:34:08.800 Mike Johnson says any aid to California should be conditioned. 1655 01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:10.800 The sense here is that it's too soon to know 1656 01:34:10.840 --> 01:34:13.239 how great the need is. But the Speaker indicated there 1657 01:34:13.239 --> 01:34:16.319 are already conversations on going about tying aid for southern 1658 01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:19.159 California to an increase in the dead ceiling, perhaps in 1659 01:34:19.199 --> 01:34:22.479 an effort to get Democrats and Republicans on board behind it. 1660 01:34:22.600 --> 01:34:25.039 Stephen Portnoy, ABC News Washington. 1661 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:29.600 Meantime, ABC meteorologists ginger Z states the red flag warnings 1662 01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:31.880 are back thanks to the Santa Ana wins. 1663 01:34:32.439 --> 01:34:34.079 No geography is slightly different. 1664 01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:34.560 This time. 1665 01:34:34.600 --> 01:34:37.039 We're talking about the Santa Monica Mountains, but we're also 1666 01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:41.159 San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and of course Calabasas Agora 1667 01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:44.520 Hill's eastern San Gabriel Mountains.

I think 1741 01:38:42.119 --> 01:38:44.279 I wrote for the Washington Post once, but I don't 1742 01:38:44.279 --> 01:38:45.359 brag about that anymore. 1743 01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:49.119 So, well, I'm surprised they allowed you to do It's 1744 01:38:49.359 --> 01:38:51.039 that was I guess the joke there. 1745 01:38:52.640 --> 01:38:54.520 Yeah, that was a long time ago. You know, It's 1746 01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:57.359 got a lot worse, but Yeah, it's good to be 1747 01:38:57.399 --> 01:38:58.119 on your show. 1748 01:38:57.960 --> 01:39:01.239 All right, man. Great to have you. And let's go 1749 01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:06.399 ahead and talk about the elephant on the TV screen 1750 01:39:06.439 --> 01:39:10.119 at least for the last week or so, because it's 1751 01:39:10.159 --> 01:39:14.119 been a week since the wildfires first broke out, after 1752 01:39:14.159 --> 01:39:17.600 the high wind warnings, after the mayor of Los Angeles' 1753 01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:22.079 trip to Ghana. Oddly she was going for a presidential 1754 01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:25.720 inauguration in Ghana, but she won't be at Donald Trump's 1755 01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:30.560 next Monday, Karen Bass. And the fact that that same 1756 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:34.159 mayor cut funding to the fire department, which she said 1757 01:39:34.359 --> 01:39:40.039 wouldn't have affected this particular crisis seventeen point six million dollars. 1758 01:39:40.760 --> 01:39:44.359 The fire hydrants went dry, Matt. And let me tell 1759 01:39:44.359 --> 01:39:49.760 you something my wife now years ago, but in her twenties, 1760 01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:54.800 she was a firefighter, and she was talking about how 1761 01:39:54.880 --> 01:40:01.560 it was routine for them on a ship to go 1762 01:40:01.680 --> 01:40:04.439 out and they would check the fire hydrants. And it 1763 01:40:04.560 --> 01:40:08.640 happened almost every month. They would go out and make 1764 01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:11.640 sure the fire hydrants were working properly. And this is 1765 01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:14.640 something I am told you have to do, number one, 1766 01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:16.920 to make sure that the water is flowing out of 1767 01:40:16.920 --> 01:40:20.319 the fire hydrant in case of a crisis. Number two, 1768 01:40:21.720 --> 01:40:24.359 you want to make sure that you can get the 1769 01:40:24.880 --> 01:40:27.840 damn thing off when the hoses need to be attached, 1770 01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:31.720 because they will seize up if they are left, you know, 1771 01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:35.359 sedentary for a long time. They'll rust over and then 1772 01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:37.880 they you know, even their special tool have a hard 1773 01:40:37.920 --> 01:40:41.079 time getting those fire hydrants open in a case of 1774 01:40:41.119 --> 01:40:45.439 an emergency. The fire hydrants were dry in Pacific Palisades, 1775 01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:49.760 and I'm guessing they didn't have enough DEI candidates to 1776 01:40:49.800 --> 01:40:52.680 go out and check them on a regular basis. I'm 1777 01:40:52.720 --> 01:40:56.920 not sure any comments on any of this will be 1778 01:40:57.039 --> 01:40:58.159 greatly appreciated. 1779 01:40:59.479 --> 01:41:01.920 Yeah, I was here in Alexandria one time and we 1780 01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:04.880 saw firefighters. A fire truck go by, and the firefighters 1781 01:41:04.920 --> 01:41:07.319 got out and started checking one of the hydrants. So 1782 01:41:07.359 --> 01:41:11.399 it's something that in most places happens routinely. The fire 1783 01:41:11.479 --> 01:41:15.000 hydrants when dry, there's a reservoir and the Pacific Palisades 1784 01:41:15.079 --> 01:41:17.920 that held you know, tons and tons, gallons and gallons 1785 01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:21.359 of water that was also dry for reasons unknown. And 1786 01:41:21.479 --> 01:41:23.920 this kind of thing happens in California all the time, 1787 01:41:24.159 --> 01:41:26.279 I mean just about every year. That last year was 1788 01:41:26.319 --> 01:41:29.279 no exception. They had a problem with fires. This should 1789 01:41:29.279 --> 01:41:31.880 have been their their number one priority. You know, we 1790 01:41:31.880 --> 01:41:34.079 hear so much about how in California they built the 1791 01:41:34.520 --> 01:41:37.000 buildings to be earthquake proof because they know that the 1792 01:41:37.000 --> 01:41:40.800 big one is eventually coming. The more immediate threat is fires, right, 1793 01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:44.439 So where is that level of foresight, that level of preparation. 1794 01:41:45.720 --> 01:41:48.319 It just it was nowhere to be seen here. And 1795 01:41:49.119 --> 01:41:51.359 I take the point very well about DEI, And I'm 1796 01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:54.000 sure that played some malign role here at DEI always 1797 01:41:54.000 --> 01:41:56.199 seems to be screwing up things wherever it pops up. 1798 01:41:56.560 --> 01:42:00.039 But it's worth pointing out that the police chief, the 1799 01:42:00.319 --> 01:42:03.279 female police chief out there, had been warning the other 1800 01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:04.159 government departments. 1801 01:42:04.159 --> 01:42:05.119 So this was a problem. 1802 01:42:05.640 --> 01:42:08.119 You know, she was saying, there's the mismanagement here. We've 1803 01:42:08.159 --> 01:42:10.880 lost our money, like we need help or we're going 1804 01:42:10.880 --> 01:42:13.560 to be in a crisis, and they never got that help. 1805 01:42:14.199 --> 01:42:18.800 And yeah, it's just it's a perfect storm of weather factors, right, 1806 01:42:18.840 --> 01:42:22.760 you had these incredibly strong winds and incredibly dry situation 1807 01:42:22.840 --> 01:42:25.680 there in California. But it's also I think a perfect 1808 01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:27.680 storm of government and competence. 1809 01:42:28.319 --> 01:42:32.079 Oh, it's total incompetence. There's no question about that playing 1810 01:42:32.119 --> 01:42:34.479 a role, Matt, And I'll tell you. The other thing 1811 01:42:35.359 --> 01:42:39.680 is that did you see the DEI, chief officer of 1812 01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:45.479 the LAFD, when opposed the question can you pull an 1813 01:42:45.520 --> 01:42:49.399 adult man out of a fire? And she said, basically 1814 01:42:49.479 --> 01:42:53.479 to the extent of to paraphrase, well, if I have 1815 01:42:53.520 --> 01:42:55.680 to pull him out of the fire, he's obviously in 1816 01:42:55.720 --> 01:42:58.520 the wrong place. And I was like, is there a 1817 01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:01.279 right place to be in the middle of a wildfire? 1818 01:43:01.439 --> 01:43:02.399 I don't think so. 1819 01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:07.520 You're in the wrong place because I am not confident 1820 01:43:07.600 --> 01:43:10.600 and qualified to do my job. 1821 01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:14.880 Or they'll or their they're a grand piece of advice 1822 01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:17.039 to people who are out there is spray water on 1823 01:43:17.079 --> 01:43:19.880 your roof to prevent it from catching fire, which I 1824 01:43:19.880 --> 01:43:22.039 think is like, we just had a big snowstorm here 1825 01:43:22.039 --> 01:43:23.399 in Virginia. I think it is like me on the 1826 01:43:23.399 --> 01:43:25.880 ground with table stops trying to to stop the snow 1827 01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:27.119 from coming, just kind of. 1828 01:43:27.079 --> 01:43:30.079 Spooning it up onto the roof exactly. 1829 01:43:30.199 --> 01:43:32.600 Get a slingshot and a ball of salt, put it 1830 01:43:32.600 --> 01:43:35.199 on your roof. That'll keep the snow off. 1831 01:43:36.319 --> 01:43:39.760 Yeah, and you know already. I saw a CNN headline 1832 01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:42.680 yesterday which was covering for a California of course and 1833 01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:46.239 saying no amount of preparation in water could have prevented 1834 01:43:46.279 --> 01:43:49.159 these fires. And that may be true that you know, 1835 01:43:49.199 --> 01:43:51.119 we were gonna have to do some investigating here. It 1836 01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:53.000 may very well be that this is just such an 1837 01:43:53.079 --> 01:43:55.920 unbelievable act of nature that if they had all the 1838 01:43:55.960 --> 01:43:58.000 water in the world, they couldn't have stopped it from 1839 01:43:58.039 --> 01:44:00.720 spreading as quickly as it did. But we also know 1840 01:44:00.760 --> 01:44:02.720 that water helps, you know, like, if you're going to 1841 01:44:02.760 --> 01:44:04.159 fight a fire, you need water. 1842 01:44:04.359 --> 01:44:07.159 Yeah, jeez, that's why they that's why they bring in 1843 01:44:07.239 --> 01:44:11.039 the shoppers and the and the big planes with all 1844 01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:14.399 the water to drop it. Because water does help. And 1845 01:44:14.479 --> 01:44:18.439 it's not about could have prevented these wildfires, Matt. It's 1846 01:44:18.479 --> 01:44:22.800 about fighting the fires once they erupt and they were 1847 01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:26.720 they were they were like a uh a one one 1848 01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:31.840 armed paper hanger, you know, because of their resources being limited. 1849 01:44:32.039 --> 01:44:34.720 What could have prevented the wildfires has been a problem 1850 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:39.800 in California for decades. They have stopped doing proper forest 1851 01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:43.920 management with all this dry underbrush and and they've not 1852 01:44:44.079 --> 01:44:46.800 removed it. They do that in other parts of the country. 1853 01:44:46.840 --> 01:44:50.640 The people that are real environmentalists know that to preserve 1854 01:44:50.840 --> 01:44:55.039 nature and an echosystem, you have to clear away the dead, 1855 01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:59.720 the kinlan, the fuel, especially if you live in an 1856 01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:03.159 area that's very arid and has these high winds. There 1857 01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:06.079 are more high winds expected. The Santa Anna's are supposed 1858 01:45:06.079 --> 01:45:09.439 to roar up again tomorrow. Let's see how they do. 1859 01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:13.960 Yeah, you nailed it. But you can't. You can't do 1860 01:45:14.039 --> 01:45:17.399 anything like that anymore in California. You can't clear away 1861 01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:21.560 the brush, you can't practice proper forestry. You can't. I mean, 1862 01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:23.359 just to jump ahead here a little bit. You can't 1863 01:45:23.399 --> 01:45:26.880 rebuild buildings after they've burned down because of you know, 1864 01:45:27.000 --> 01:45:30.279 problems with the different government commissions out there. You know, 1865 01:45:30.520 --> 01:45:34.000 environmental impact studies are usually at fault here. There's long 1866 01:45:34.079 --> 01:45:37.119 winding processes, or they have to check for the you know, 1867 01:45:37.359 --> 01:45:40.239 forearmed smelts or whatever, the little animals they have out 1868 01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:42.279 there are to make sure there's none nearby before they 1869 01:45:42.319 --> 01:45:44.760 can do anything, before they can really do much of anything. 1870 01:45:46.000 --> 01:45:47.840 But you know, this is a state that is really 1871 01:45:47.840 --> 01:45:50.760 in the grips of the environmental bureaucracy. This is what 1872 01:45:51.159 --> 01:45:54.159 environmental liberalism looks like in the year twenty twenty four, 1873 01:45:54.239 --> 01:45:56.600 and it makes it just about impossible to do anything. 1874 01:45:57.239 --> 01:46:00.560 And I heard Governor Knewsom yesterday come out and say, 1875 01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:02.920 just so you guys know, you know, we understand a 1876 01:46:02.920 --> 01:46:05.680 lot of rich people's houses burned down here. We're going 1877 01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:08.239 to waive the environmental regulations. We're going to make sure 1878 01:46:08.239 --> 01:46:10.760 the Coastal Commission doesn't get too involved so that you 1879 01:46:10.760 --> 01:46:13.359 can rebuild quickly. And well, you know how nice that 1880 01:46:13.760 --> 01:46:17.000 in this situation they're allowing that to happen. But this 1881 01:46:17.119 --> 01:46:21.760 is this is decades and decades of thickening bureaucracy, and 1882 01:46:21.840 --> 01:46:23.760 it would be nice if you would say, actually, you 1883 01:46:23.800 --> 01:46:26.039 know what we need to reduce that we need to 1884 01:46:26.039 --> 01:46:29.279 make government more efficient, make government work better and do less. 1885 01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:32.079 But that doesn't ever seem to be long term on 1886 01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:33.680 the menu in California. 1887 01:46:33.720 --> 01:46:37.439 Maybe maybe not allocate thirty five billion dollars for a 1888 01:46:37.520 --> 01:46:41.359 high speed choo choo that never gets built and is 1889 01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:43.800 going to cost one hundred and thirty five billion if 1890 01:46:43.800 --> 01:46:47.039 it ever does, because of the time that it's taken 1891 01:46:47.119 --> 01:46:50.960 and inflation and all the rest. Someone suggested that Gavin 1892 01:46:51.039 --> 01:46:54.239 Newsom spent the money that should have been spent on 1893 01:46:54.720 --> 01:47:01.079 forestry and water diversion on his hair jel instead of 1894 01:47:01.239 --> 01:47:05.840 actually taking care of his job. As governor to serve 1895 01:47:05.880 --> 01:47:10.119 and protect the people who elected him and pay his salary. 1896 01:47:10.159 --> 01:47:14.279 This is an amazing, amazing pile of inconfidence in a 1897 01:47:14.399 --> 01:47:17.920 dress suit. And I can't believe that the man actually 1898 01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:20.840 has delusions of running for president someday. 1899 01:47:23.000 --> 01:47:25.760 Well, look, those COVID lunches that the French laundry are 1900 01:47:25.760 --> 01:47:27.399 not going to pay for themselves. I mean, they have 1901 01:47:27.479 --> 01:47:32.560 to come from somewhere, And this was it. We know 1902 01:47:32.720 --> 01:47:34.560 by the way that the money that was supposed to 1903 01:47:34.600 --> 01:47:37.560 go to the fire department was re routed by Karen 1904 01:47:37.600 --> 01:47:40.880 Bass and the LA government into social programs. So we 1905 01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:44.239 know that this was taking money from good firefighting, from 1906 01:47:44.239 --> 01:47:47.640 what was really needed in California and rerouting it into 1907 01:47:47.640 --> 01:47:50.840 the same social programs that seem to have only led 1908 01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:54.439 to more homelessness and more middle class Californians seeing the state. 1909 01:47:55.159 --> 01:47:57.640 So yeah, I think it's you know, you need a 1910 01:47:57.680 --> 01:48:01.000 real reckoning of Cisco priorities once this is all over. 1911 01:48:01.560 --> 01:48:05.560 Well, she, I mean, she's a Marxist, and there's nothing 1912 01:48:05.600 --> 01:48:08.560 good that comes of Marxism in a country like America. 1913 01:48:08.560 --> 01:48:11.279 There's nothing good that comes of Marxism in any country. 1914 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:17.600 And I thought we had a democracy or republic and 1915 01:48:18.079 --> 01:48:23.479 not a Marxist totalitarian regime in charge. But it sure 1916 01:48:23.560 --> 01:48:27.159 seemed like it from the top down for a while, 1917 01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:29.720 especially the last four years. We're talking to Matt Purple 1918 01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:34.119 on the Nightcap more on America's decline from the top 1919 01:48:34.319 --> 01:48:38.600 when we return after this quick break on seven hundred WLW. 1920 01:48:38.600 --> 01:48:40.840 Maybe you missed one of our shows because fixing that 1921 01:48:40.960 --> 01:48:42.800 leap took longer than you expected? 1922 01:48:43.920 --> 01:48:45.359 Can I call the plumber now? 1923 01:48:45.720 --> 01:48:46.760 Miss to fix it? 1924 01:48:47.159 --> 01:48:49.560 Don't worry.

There's 1938 01:49:34.520 --> 01:49:36.399 some humor in this book. I have not had the 1939 01:49:36.479 --> 01:49:38.520 chance to read it yet, but I look forward to 1940 01:49:38.680 --> 01:49:43.439 after tonight's conversation with Matt Purple and we continue that conversation. 1941 01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:48.600 Decline from the top, A fish rots from the head down, 1942 01:49:48.760 --> 01:49:51.239 And that's the basic gist of this, isn't it. Matt. 1943 01:49:53.359 --> 01:49:56.119 Uh, Yeah, that's a That's definitely a major theory in 1944 01:49:56.159 --> 01:49:58.680 the book. What I'm referring to with that, you know, 1945 01:49:58.720 --> 01:50:01.520 from the top, is that I grew up in the 1946 01:50:01.560 --> 01:50:04.439 nineteen nineties and there was a sense then that America 1947 01:50:05.479 --> 01:50:07.920 was really the number one nation in the world. I mean, 1948 01:50:08.079 --> 01:50:11.039 the Cold War was over, Berlin Wall had come down, 1949 01:50:11.199 --> 01:50:13.800 we were the only superpower left, and we had this 1950 01:50:13.880 --> 01:50:16.880 almost metaphysical sense of ourselves, like we can do anything 1951 01:50:16.920 --> 01:50:19.560 we set our minds to because we're Americans. 1952 01:50:19.600 --> 01:50:19.760 You know. 1953 01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:22.439 I grew up with this very strong sense of patriotism 1954 01:50:22.479 --> 01:50:27.560 as a result of that. And what made me curious 1955 01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:30.039 about the subject is that nobody thinks that, or very 1956 01:50:30.039 --> 01:50:32.760 few people think that way anymore. You know, everybody's much 1957 01:50:32.800 --> 01:50:36.199 more pessimistic and gloomy, and the poles all bear this out. 1958 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:40.520 You know, people are much more nervous about the future. 1959 01:50:41.199 --> 01:50:43.880 And so we had declined from the top. You know, 1960 01:50:43.880 --> 01:50:46.039 we had, at least in our own minds anyway, our 1961 01:50:46.079 --> 01:50:48.319 own perception we'd been on top. But we thought we 1962 01:50:48.399 --> 01:50:51.640 no longer were. And I wanted to explore why that 1963 01:50:51.720 --> 01:50:53.880 had happened. You know, what was the reason for this 1964 01:50:54.079 --> 01:50:58.600 psychological pessimism. And there's quite a lot, there's quite a 1965 01:50:58.640 --> 01:51:00.319 lot that's gone wrong as it turned out. 1966 01:51:01.239 --> 01:51:04.159 Well, you know, you know what's odd about this is 1967 01:51:04.199 --> 01:51:08.239 it seems like a pretty secular thing because at the 1968 01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:12.720 end of World War Two, we were, you know, we 1969 01:51:12.720 --> 01:51:16.439 were the champions. We had beaten Nazi Germany and Imperial 1970 01:51:16.520 --> 01:51:21.520 Japan and brought the world back to a place where 1971 01:51:21.600 --> 01:51:24.600 it could be safe and prosperous for a people again. 1972 01:51:25.840 --> 01:51:32.199 And that lasted into the nineteen fifties, and lo and behold, 1973 01:51:32.479 --> 01:51:35.880 by the time the late seventies had come around, we 1974 01:51:35.920 --> 01:51:39.840 had the skyrocketing inflation, we had the skyrocketing interest rates, 1975 01:51:40.439 --> 01:51:44.279 and we had come out of Vietnam battered and bruised 1976 01:51:44.399 --> 01:51:50.000 as a nation and as a military, and there was 1977 01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:54.520 this feeling that of a lack of patriotism, and it 1978 01:51:54.560 --> 01:51:58.319 took Ronald Reagan to kind of flame that back up 1979 01:51:58.439 --> 01:52:03.439 into you know, a pattern for the American citizens. And 1980 01:52:03.760 --> 01:52:07.039 so you're talking about what happened at the end of 1981 01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:12.319 the Reagan administration immediately after, with the Berlin Wall falling 1982 01:52:12.560 --> 01:52:16.600 and the Soviet Union coming apart, we'd won the Cold War, 1983 01:52:17.079 --> 01:52:19.880 and here we are about the same span of years later, 1984 01:52:20.359 --> 01:52:25.039 and nobody's patriotic, nobody is optimistic or upbeat about America. 1985 01:52:25.199 --> 01:52:29.640 Nobody thinks of America as exceptional. And we've been told 1986 01:52:29.760 --> 01:52:34.840 by President Obama and others in the Biden administration that 1987 01:52:34.920 --> 01:52:39.399 we shouldn't consider ourselves as an exceptional country. It's just 1988 01:52:39.479 --> 01:52:41.880 weird that it runs in these kind of cycles. And 1989 01:52:43.279 --> 01:52:45.319 do you see a parallel between what happened at the 1990 01:52:45.399 --> 01:52:47.079 end of World War Two and where we got to 1991 01:52:47.640 --> 01:52:51.079 by nineteen seventy five in this country? And then you know, 1992 01:52:51.520 --> 01:52:54.279 in your lifetime from the end of the Cold War 1993 01:52:55.079 --> 01:52:58.199 to now, it seems very similar. 1994 01:52:57.760 --> 01:53:02.520 To me, It does, yeah, And I think there's eerie parallels, 1995 01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:05.399 first of all, between the nineteen fifties and the nineteen nineties, 1996 01:53:05.439 --> 01:53:08.720 and that they're both decades where there's a lot of confidence, 1997 01:53:08.720 --> 01:53:12.039 a lot of prosperity, the country's moving forward, but it's 1998 01:53:12.079 --> 01:53:15.199 also haunted by certain problems that are being swept under 1999 01:53:15.199 --> 01:53:18.239 the rug, you know, like there's you can kind of 2000 01:53:18.239 --> 01:53:20.039 tell that there's a time bomb that's going to go 2001 01:53:20.079 --> 01:53:23.079 off there at some point. And then of course you 2002 01:53:23.119 --> 01:53:25.239 have the tumult of the sixties, and then really the 2003 01:53:25.239 --> 01:53:27.720 seventies was when that hangover hit. You know, the seventies 2004 01:53:27.720 --> 01:53:32.560 were a very confidence depleting decade, and you could probably 2005 01:53:32.600 --> 01:53:36.079 compare that to today, although I think that today anyway, 2006 01:53:36.119 --> 01:53:40.239 the crisis feels more severe. There's you know it, I 2007 01:53:40.279 --> 01:53:42.840 think we have a more negative perception of ourselves now 2008 01:53:42.880 --> 01:53:45.399 than we did even back then, as bad as things were. 2009 01:53:46.079 --> 01:53:49.279 And I think that I'm kind of cautious about making 2010 01:53:49.279 --> 01:53:53.399 comparisons between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, But I think 2011 01:53:53.560 --> 01:53:55.960 the reason why Trump won and one again is that 2012 01:53:56.039 --> 01:53:59.640 people understand that they do perceive that we're in decline, 2013 01:53:59.640 --> 01:54:01.880 and they don't think that just business as usual. 2014 01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:03.239 You know, let's elect the. 2015 01:54:03.279 --> 01:54:06.479 Latest politician, you know, to come out of the conveyor belt, 2016 01:54:06.880 --> 01:54:09.079 that that's going to cut it anymore. You know, they 2017 01:54:09.119 --> 01:54:12.880 are Donald Trump is preaching a message of radical, disruptive change, 2018 01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:17.159 and maybe people aren't entirely confident on his ability to 2019 01:54:17.199 --> 01:54:20.479 deliver it. But they are that appeals much more to 2020 01:54:20.560 --> 01:54:23.920 them than all right, let's just you know, switch from 2021 01:54:24.000 --> 01:54:25.920 Hillary Clinton over to Kamala Harris. 2022 01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:28.640 I thought, how about this for an idea, Matt talking 2023 01:54:28.640 --> 01:54:34.720 to Matt Purple. The idea is, instead of DOGE, you know, 2024 01:54:34.840 --> 01:54:38.760 the Department of Government Efficiency, how about Donald Trump just contracting. 2025 01:54:38.840 --> 01:54:43.239 And he's a construction guy, and you can't have construction 2026 01:54:43.359 --> 01:54:48.000 sometimes without demolition. You just take a couple of huge 2027 01:54:48.079 --> 01:54:53.560 bulldozers and totally bulldoze K Street. So the lobbyists have 2028 01:54:53.680 --> 01:54:58.680 to flee town and then because that's the thing that 2029 01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:02.399 is the problem right there to me with government inefficiency 2030 01:55:02.520 --> 01:55:08.520 and wasteful spending is the ears of the elected always 2031 01:55:08.640 --> 01:55:11.760 are being buzzed by the lobbyists. The lobbyists are controlling 2032 01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:16.680 policy and controlling the government in essence. So I think 2033 01:55:16.720 --> 01:55:18.880 you just bulldoze K Street. What do you think about 2034 01:55:18.880 --> 01:55:19.359 that idea? 2035 01:55:19.439 --> 01:55:22.479 Man, I used to work on L Street and I 2036 01:55:22.520 --> 01:55:24.680 no longer do, so I'm fine with, you know, that's 2037 01:55:24.720 --> 01:55:26.680 not going to affect me personally in any way, So 2038 01:55:26.680 --> 01:55:29.319 I'm totally fine with just just send it in and 2039 01:55:29.319 --> 01:55:33.199 it's yeah, you know, the lobby This is a major 2040 01:55:33.319 --> 01:55:35.319 theme in the book later on, is that the lobbyists 2041 01:55:35.359 --> 01:55:37.600 have in large part bought off the government. And you 2042 01:55:37.640 --> 01:55:40.560 have this kind of new factionalism within Congress, within the 2043 01:55:40.800 --> 01:55:44.840 federal system itself, where powerful interests are getting their say 2044 01:55:44.880 --> 01:55:48.279 at the table, but really the average person and also 2045 01:55:48.439 --> 01:55:51.279 just the reason of the average legislator, you know, the 2046 01:55:51.319 --> 01:55:55.479 average legislator's ability to work towards, you know, preserving our 2047 01:55:55.560 --> 01:55:58.479 rights and acting in the common good that's getting blocked 2048 01:55:58.520 --> 01:56:01.960 by these very powerful agendas. And so we ask things 2049 01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:04.239 like why can't we cut the budget? Why why are 2050 01:56:04.279 --> 01:56:07.479 we just not able to do this? And one major 2051 01:56:07.520 --> 01:56:10.479 reason is that every dollar of that budget is protected 2052 01:56:10.520 --> 01:56:14.680 by some lobbyists, by some interest groups somewhere. So yeah, 2053 01:56:14.920 --> 01:56:17.319 it's why, I mean, I like the Doge. I'm kind 2054 01:56:17.319 --> 01:56:19.600 of excited for the Doge. We haven't tried anything like 2055 01:56:19.640 --> 01:56:21.640 this since the Grace Commission back in the eighties, and 2056 01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:23.680 this time we have a Republican Congress, so like it 2057 01:56:23.720 --> 01:56:28.640 could actually see the light of day, but actually making 2058 01:56:28.680 --> 01:56:31.119 that happen is going to be far more difficult than 2059 01:56:31.279 --> 01:56:33.600 just drafting a list of everything that should be cut. 2060 01:56:34.159 --> 01:56:38.000 Yeah, there's no question about that. I just think it's 2061 01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:43.279 a huge monster that's sitting on America's chest and keeping 2062 01:56:43.399 --> 01:56:48.840 us in decline. Because this is one of you mentioned 2063 01:56:48.880 --> 01:56:52.039 that there's some pretty funny stuff in the book. Can 2064 01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:54.640 you tease us with a little bit of decline from 2065 01:56:54.640 --> 01:56:58.560 the top and your observations that are you would consider 2066 01:56:58.600 --> 01:56:59.399 to be humorous. 2067 01:57:00.720 --> 01:57:03.000 Well, I won't give away. I won't give away too 2068 01:57:03.039 --> 01:57:05.159 many jokes in that book. I'll just kind of explain 2069 01:57:05.239 --> 01:57:08.119 the rationale behind it, which and you know, your your 2070 01:57:08.199 --> 01:57:10.199 your audience can judge whether it's actually funny or not. 2071 01:57:10.199 --> 01:57:12.199 I'm not going to see any claims on that funny. 2072 01:57:12.199 --> 01:57:15.039 I'm also a bartender in the addition to being a 2073 01:57:15.039 --> 01:57:18.560 talk show host, and I'll start to tell a joke 2074 01:57:19.000 --> 01:57:21.359 to one of my customers and she'll goes, is this 2075 01:57:21.439 --> 01:57:23.560 a joke? I said, Well, it all depends on whether 2076 01:57:23.640 --> 01:57:26.600 you laugh or not. But go ahead. 2077 01:57:26.720 --> 01:57:28.199 You know I'm not I'm not the one who gets 2078 01:57:28.239 --> 01:57:31.039 to make that determination. And the guys, the guys who 2079 01:57:31.079 --> 01:57:33.520 say they're funny or the guys who never are funny, right, 2080 01:57:34.720 --> 01:57:37.600 But but yeah, no, I So the reason why I 2081 01:57:37.840 --> 01:57:41.680 took a lighter hearted tone is because I'm an optimistic 2082 01:57:41.720 --> 01:57:44.560 person by nature, and it's not really it would not 2083 01:57:44.640 --> 01:57:47.239 be my inclination to spend more than a year, you know, 2084 01:57:47.359 --> 01:57:50.520 sifting through these various causes of our decline and writing 2085 01:57:50.560 --> 01:57:53.720 about them. That just sounds very depressing, quite frankly. And 2086 01:57:53.760 --> 01:57:55.720 so I said, if I'm going to do this, then 2087 01:57:55.760 --> 01:57:58.439 I'm going to try to, you know, make people laugh 2088 01:57:58.479 --> 01:58:02.199 along the way, take a more humor tech kind of 2089 01:58:02.239 --> 01:58:05.760 observe it from a more detached perspective. And I think that's, 2090 01:58:05.920 --> 01:58:08.199 you know, that's the best way to talk about this stuff, 2091 01:58:08.239 --> 01:58:12.119 because Americans are an optimistic people, you know, we want 2092 01:58:12.159 --> 01:58:15.359 to believe things can get better. And it's it's just 2093 01:58:15.640 --> 01:58:18.720 we've got enough doom and gloom over the past, you know, ten, fifteen, 2094 01:58:18.800 --> 01:58:21.079 twenty years. And I didn't want to I didn't want 2095 01:58:21.079 --> 01:58:22.680 to write that book, you know, I didn't want to 2096 01:58:22.680 --> 01:58:23.920 contribute even more to that. 2097 01:58:24.800 --> 01:58:28.800 Sure that that's great again. I look forward to reading it. 2098 01:58:29.239 --> 01:58:35.159 Decline from the Top by Matt Purple the subtitle Snapshots 2099 01:58:35.199 --> 01:58:38.000 from America's Crisis and Glimmers of Hope. Do you see 2100 01:58:38.000 --> 01:58:39.000 a lot of glimmers of hope? 2101 01:58:39.039 --> 01:58:39.359 Matt? 2102 01:58:40.800 --> 01:58:43.479 I do, yeah, you know, the I'm hopeful about the 2103 01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:46.159 younger generation which grew up in this period of decline. 2104 01:58:46.199 --> 01:58:48.000 I'm a millennial, believe it or not, I'm not actually 2105 01:58:48.039 --> 01:58:50.840 really that young anymore. It's the gen Z that's coming up. 2106 01:58:51.920 --> 01:58:54.960 They've known nothing except, you know, the events that have 2107 01:58:55.000 --> 01:58:58.039 contributed to this decline. So I think they're they're very 2108 01:58:58.079 --> 01:59:00.439 aware of it and hopefully want to do something about it. 2109 01:59:00.840 --> 01:59:03.359 I love that COVID is finally over, you know, the 2110 01:59:03.399 --> 01:59:06.600 bars and restaurants are starting to reopen, and we're starting 2111 01:59:06.600 --> 01:59:08.760 to kind of get back into the sunlight a little bit. 2112 01:59:10.199 --> 01:59:12.960 So yeah, there's a few anyway, but there's also there's 2113 01:59:12.960 --> 01:59:15.840 a lot of bad news along the way, unfortunately, no. 2114 01:59:15.720 --> 01:59:19.279 Doubt about it. If it was if it was good, 2115 01:59:19.319 --> 01:59:22.199 it wouldn't be news, you know. I always say that, 2116 01:59:22.760 --> 01:59:26.800 you know, you can't, you know, because good usually happens 2117 01:59:26.800 --> 01:59:31.760 in people's relationships and in neighborhoods. Good usually happens that 2118 01:59:32.039 --> 01:59:35.920 that is the normal. When it's bad, it's news, and 2119 01:59:35.960 --> 01:59:39.199 there's a whole lot of news lately. Matt, thank you 2120 01:59:39.279 --> 01:59:41.159 so much for your time. We appreciate it. 2121 01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:44.359 Thank you great to talk to you on the way. 2122 01:59:44.479 --> 01:59:47.760 Pastor David Scarlett joins us on this Monday Night cap 2123 01:59:48.159 --> 01:59:50.680 on seven hundred WLW. 2124 01:59:50.760 --> 01:59:55.840 News Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred w l 2125 01:59:56.159 --> 01:59:57.720 W Cincinnati. 2126 01:59:58.079 --> 02:00:01.359 Mark continues to reopened Eye for seventy one South with 2127 02:00:01.520 --> 02:00:05.439 the eleven thirty report I'm lee mawing breaking. Now three 2128 02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:07.800 girders in place for the Big Mac Bridge, with another 2129 02:00:07.840 --> 02:00:11.399 four next to be installed as Odos Kathleen Fuller predicts 2130 02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.199 that the girders will be installed completely in the next 2131 02:00:14.199 --> 02:00:18.319 few days.

Soon I could evict God 2248 02:06:54.199 --> 02:06:57.199 from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from 2249 02:06:57.239 --> 02:06:59.720 the houses of Congress and in his own churches.

If I were the devil, I'd make 2253 02:07:10.479 --> 02:07:12.680 the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of 2254 02:07:12.760 --> 02:07:16.039 Christmas a bottle.

And if you don't know, 2311 02:10:29.079 --> 02:10:33.479 a bochelism talks and it completely paralyzes you from inside out. 2312 02:10:33.960 --> 02:10:35.800 You have to go on a breathing tube to survive. 2313 02:10:36.039 --> 02:10:39.560 I went into the Cleveland Clinic on literally Friday the thirteenth. 2314 02:10:40.359 --> 02:10:42.520 I initially died the first night that I was there, 2315 02:10:42.560 --> 02:10:45.399 but I didn't have a near death experienced the first time. 2316 02:10:45.760 --> 02:10:49.439 So they got me stabilized at the Cleveland Clinic and 2317 02:10:49.479 --> 02:10:52.079 then the doctors pulled the plug so that I would 2318 02:10:52.079 --> 02:10:54.279 breathe on my own. And there's nothing worse than seeing 2319 02:10:54.279 --> 02:10:57.119 the panic on two doctors at the Cleveland Clinic. They knew, 2320 02:10:57.840 --> 02:10:59.560 they knew they had lost me, and I knew at 2321 02:10:59.600 --> 02:11:01.479 that moment in time that I was gone. I was going, 2322 02:11:01.920 --> 02:11:03.920 My life was over. I was thinking about my kids, 2323 02:11:04.000 --> 02:11:06.920 my wife, and everything of the world. And then all 2324 02:11:06.920 --> 02:11:08.920 of a sudden, I was taken up in this absolutely 2325 02:11:08.960 --> 02:11:11.920 incredible beauty. Again, when you can't breathe, you think that 2326 02:11:11.960 --> 02:11:15.800 there'd be anxious anxiety, but there was no anxiety. It 2327 02:11:15.920 --> 02:11:20.520 was pure, pure love, no pain whatsoever. I was taken 2328 02:11:20.600 --> 02:11:23.159 up to the Third Heaven and just everything smelt better. 2329 02:11:23.199 --> 02:11:25.840 Look better, it tastes better. It was absolutely as the 2330 02:11:25.840 --> 02:11:28.479 apostle Paul said, you just can't put it into words, 2331 02:11:28.479 --> 02:11:30.800 how beautiful it is. And then the Lord showed me 2332 02:11:30.880 --> 02:11:34.039 pictures of my life and the Mahogany pictures that were slow, 2333 02:11:34.079 --> 02:11:36.359 so I was outside of time and space because I 2334 02:11:36.439 --> 02:11:40.560 believe they I actually died for four minutes, but by 2335 02:11:40.600 --> 02:11:44.119 seeing all these pictures, I had to be twenty to 2336 02:11:44.159 --> 02:11:47.399 thirty minutes at least. And then I saw these pictures. 2337 02:11:47.439 --> 02:11:49.840 They were perfect pictures, pictures that were never taken. 2338 02:11:49.600 --> 02:11:50.119 On the earth. 2339 02:11:50.439 --> 02:11:53.159 And then the Lord finally later told me these pictures 2340 02:11:53.239 --> 02:11:56.800 showed Heaven and there's no sense. But my report card 2341 02:11:56.840 --> 02:11:58.680 was empty. There was nothing I did for the Lord. 2342 02:11:58.800 --> 02:12:00.720 In those pictures. I got about the skin of my 2343 02:12:00.760 --> 02:12:03.319 teeth being a nine one one Christian. And if I 2344 02:12:03.359 --> 02:12:05.680 wouldn't gone through a trial and tribulation with my wife, 2345 02:12:05.720 --> 02:12:08.039 I probably I would not have been in habit. So 2346 02:12:08.199 --> 02:12:10.600 even our worst things in the world are get us 2347 02:12:10.640 --> 02:12:13.000 closer to being with the Lord, and that's what it's 2348 02:12:13.039 --> 02:12:15.399 all about. So he sent me back. I stabilized. As 2349 02:12:15.439 --> 02:12:17.359 soon as I came back, I said, I didn't see 2350 02:12:17.439 --> 02:12:19.479 Jesus while I was in heaven, I said, Lord, I 2351 02:12:19.479 --> 02:12:21.960 want to see Jesus, and I before I even got 2352 02:12:22.000 --> 02:12:24.039 that prayer out there, he was at the end of 2353 02:12:24.079 --> 02:12:27.439 my bed at the Cleveland Clinic, just radiating. He never 2354 02:12:27.479 --> 02:12:29.479 said a word, he didn't need to, just a piercing 2355 02:12:29.560 --> 02:12:32.800 blue eyes and just this radiate glow to him, just 2356 02:12:32.840 --> 02:12:35.439 like the Book of Revelation. And then a long story, 2357 02:12:35.600 --> 02:12:37.680 I had to take two steps forward, one step back. 2358 02:12:37.720 --> 02:12:39.800 I had another near death experience when they pulled the 2359 02:12:39.840 --> 02:12:42.479 plug and they had all the thirty doctors in the 2360 02:12:42.479 --> 02:12:45.880 Cleveland Clinic watching over me this time, and immediately it 2361 02:12:45.960 --> 02:12:48.520 went bad and I was hovering above the doctors. I 2362 02:12:48.520 --> 02:12:50.640 could see the panic in their face. They're saying, come back, 2363 02:12:50.680 --> 02:12:52.680 come back, you can beat this. And I said to 2364 02:12:52.720 --> 02:12:54.840 the Lord once again, I had this peace and joy 2365 02:12:54.880 --> 02:12:56.960 and love us, and Lord, why am I panicking? I 2366 02:12:57.000 --> 02:13:00.159 feel absolutely perfect? And he said, my son, I'm going 2367 02:13:00.199 --> 02:13:01.399 to take you. I'm going to bring you back, and 2368 02:13:01.399 --> 02:13:03.279 you're going to start a ministry call by my name 2369 02:13:03.399 --> 02:13:06.439 his Glory. And then it was many years in the wilderness, 2370 02:13:06.680 --> 02:13:11.279 training in his word and rehabilitate dating, learning how to talk. 2371 02:13:11.399 --> 02:13:14.079 He walk again because everything was shut down and lo 2372 02:13:14.199 --> 02:13:16.760 and behold, he has created a ministry call by his 2373 02:13:16.880 --> 02:13:20.239 name literally comes from the Hebrew word comvote, which means 2374 02:13:20.399 --> 02:13:24.479 his glory, his literal glory, his literal essence. We reached 2375 02:13:24.479 --> 02:13:26.640 twenty five million people in every country of the world, 2376 02:13:26.720 --> 02:13:30.000 and the miracles continue to happen on a daily basis. 2377 02:13:30.520 --> 02:13:33.600 What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing again with us. 2378 02:13:33.800 --> 02:13:36.600 David Scarlett is our guest here on the night Cap 2379 02:13:36.680 --> 02:13:41.640 and we continue. You had some guys, He had some 2380 02:13:41.720 --> 02:13:46.840 thoughts about some of President Trump's global ambitions you could 2381 02:13:46.840 --> 02:13:53.079 call them, or just common sense kind of reasons that 2382 02:13:53.239 --> 02:13:57.239 Donald Trump is talking about Greenland and the Panama Canal 2383 02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:04.920 and yes, why they are so important to America's security 2384 02:14:05.039 --> 02:14:09.399 going forward, And I'd love to hear you talk about 2385 02:14:09.399 --> 02:14:13.000 that a little bit if you could. Why Greenland number one? 2386 02:14:14.600 --> 02:14:17.680 Well, first, remember when President Trump talked about Greenland when 2387 02:14:17.680 --> 02:14:21.079 his first was in office. Everybody thought he was crazy. 2388 02:14:21.560 --> 02:14:25.039 Well he's not crazy. He's dead serious about this because 2389 02:14:25.079 --> 02:14:29.039 of many reasons. One, we have military bases there. Two, 2390 02:14:29.159 --> 02:14:32.199 we have a very top secret underground military base that 2391 02:14:32.279 --> 02:14:34.960 most people don't know about, where the worst of the 2392 02:14:35.000 --> 02:14:37.680 worst have to go to. You say, you think get 2393 02:14:37.680 --> 02:14:40.880 mode times ten. But it's just strategic that if you 2394 02:14:40.880 --> 02:14:42.720 had to say one word that say why do we 2395 02:14:42.760 --> 02:14:46.000 need Greenland, it's China. China's going in there and trying 2396 02:14:46.000 --> 02:14:48.239 to get the natural resources and try to steal off 2397 02:14:48.239 --> 02:14:51.680 the land. President Trump's looking at not only economic to 2398 02:14:51.680 --> 02:14:55.039 be an economic superpower, because all the technology you need 2399 02:14:55.079 --> 02:14:56.560 to grow in the future is going to be based 2400 02:14:56.600 --> 02:15:00.239 on these raw minerals that are there in Greenland in 2401 02:15:00.279 --> 02:15:04.119 great capacity. The military aspect of that have a military 2402 02:15:04.119 --> 02:15:08.439 basis and just where it sits strategically for shipping as well, 2403 02:15:08.439 --> 02:15:10.279 and that ties it into the Panama Canal. Why the 2404 02:15:10.319 --> 02:15:12.399 Panama Canal is so important as well. 2405 02:15:12.800 --> 02:15:16.800 Yeah, it's just a hops given a jump east of Canada. 2406 02:15:17.640 --> 02:15:21.399 And President Trump has talked about Canada too. I think 2407 02:15:21.479 --> 02:15:25.159 that's more conjoling or trolling than anything else. What do 2408 02:15:25.199 --> 02:15:27.960 you think about his comments about making Canada the fifty 2409 02:15:28.000 --> 02:15:31.000 first state or the fifty first and fifty second state. 2410 02:15:32.520 --> 02:15:35.640 Well, I think he's half serious. There are some strategic 2411 02:15:35.680 --> 02:15:39.079 advantages behind that. I don't think that would happen, but 2412 02:15:39.560 --> 02:15:41.199 we shall see. I think that's one of the ways 2413 02:15:41.239 --> 02:15:44.279 that he's kind of poking at Trudeau that Canadian people 2414 02:15:44.359 --> 02:15:46.880 absolutely love President Trump. They don't like Trudeau. One bet, 2415 02:15:47.600 --> 02:15:51.199 one of the potential next prime ministers of Canada will 2416 02:15:51.239 --> 02:15:53.359 be here in Texas with me this week and we're 2417 02:15:53.359 --> 02:15:55.600 going to have a long sit down to talk about that. 2418 02:15:55.920 --> 02:15:59.199 Why would President Trump want Canada and from his perspective 2419 02:15:59.279 --> 02:16:02.279 what he thinks otherident Trump's all about. But you know, 2420 02:16:02.680 --> 02:16:05.840 going back to the Panama Canal in Greenland that has 2421 02:16:05.880 --> 02:16:08.560 one move and that move is China, Canada would be 2422 02:16:08.600 --> 02:16:11.920 the same. Most people don't realize that CCP has troops 2423 02:16:11.920 --> 02:16:15.840 in Canada. Canada is really trying to take over Canada. 2424 02:16:16.399 --> 02:16:19.800 They really used tradeaux in some bad ways to a 2425 02:16:19.880 --> 02:16:23.960 pummel the people of Canada. So that China is the 2426 02:16:24.079 --> 02:16:26.680 route is the main reason between all three of those. 2427 02:16:27.239 --> 02:16:31.319 Well, and I think President Biden, also at the behest 2428 02:16:31.359 --> 02:16:33.719 of the Communist Chinese Party, made a lot of moves 2429 02:16:33.719 --> 02:16:37.520 in this country during his term, which is thankfully, prayerfully 2430 02:16:37.959 --> 02:16:44.000 almost over to to enslave the American public and make it. 2431 02:16:44.079 --> 02:16:48.159 But the problem was, we have a different constitution than 2432 02:16:48.200 --> 02:16:50.399 the one they have in Canada, and we have a 2433 02:16:50.440 --> 02:16:53.399 court system that wouldn't let Joe Biden do all the 2434 02:16:53.440 --> 02:16:57.879 things that maybe his Chinese masters would want him to do. 2435 02:16:59.520 --> 02:17:04.719 And I say Chinese masters with no small grain of salt, 2436 02:17:04.959 --> 02:17:10.280 because we know about Joe and his family's involvement in 2437 02:17:10.879 --> 02:17:15.840 Chinese business deals used to influence US policy. We know 2438 02:17:15.959 --> 02:17:20.920 about that, And you're right. Strategically, Greenland just makes sense 2439 02:17:21.520 --> 02:17:25.280 because not only the Chinese, but also the Russians are 2440 02:17:25.319 --> 02:17:28.520 in the Arctic, and they're all very very busy, and 2441 02:17:28.559 --> 02:17:33.360 they're very very focused on the top of the world, 2442 02:17:33.479 --> 02:17:37.680 so to speak. So why shouldn't America claim their share, 2443 02:17:37.799 --> 02:17:43.159 especially when Greenland is just off the north northeast coast 2444 02:17:43.200 --> 02:17:45.920 of the United States, They're on the North Atlantic Shelf. 2445 02:17:48.000 --> 02:17:51.479 Absolutely, it's strategic for many, many reasons. And there's only 2446 02:17:51.479 --> 02:17:54.799 fifty six thousand people that live in Greenland, so it 2447 02:17:54.799 --> 02:17:57.479 wouldn't be it would be a benefit to the people 2448 02:17:57.520 --> 02:17:59.719 of Greenland. They want to I think there's a poll 2449 02:17:59.760 --> 02:18:03.479 out over the weekend sixty or more of the people 2450 02:18:03.479 --> 02:18:05.440 in Greenland would like to spin off and get away 2451 02:18:05.440 --> 02:18:09.680 from Denmark. So it makes sense for both parties, right. 2452 02:18:09.760 --> 02:18:15.120 And you see Don Trump Junior's trip to Greenland where 2453 02:18:15.360 --> 02:18:19.639 just landed in the middle and all these Greenlanders are there. 2454 02:18:19.399 --> 02:18:22.440 Going Yeah, Usa, USA. 2455 02:18:23.159 --> 02:18:25.959 They'd love to be a part of this revolution and 2456 02:18:26.479 --> 02:18:31.559 be welcomed in to the United States as a territory 2457 02:18:31.639 --> 02:18:37.840 or anything else. The Panama Canal was built largely by 2458 02:18:37.879 --> 02:18:42.479 America and the United States dollars and workers and carved 2459 02:18:42.479 --> 02:18:48.120 out this canal to bring shipping to a more modern 2460 02:18:48.159 --> 02:18:51.239 standpoint instead of having to go around the horn of 2461 02:18:51.280 --> 02:18:55.639 South America to get shipping done and commerce done. And 2462 02:18:56.639 --> 02:19:05.079 it was signed away. And sadly, the Communist Chinese and 2463 02:19:05.520 --> 02:19:08.799 many other entities, but mainly the Communist Chinese once again 2464 02:19:09.280 --> 02:19:13.040 are the ones that are exerting control over the canal. 2465 02:19:13.639 --> 02:19:18.079 And that's simply that simply is not right. It's not 2466 02:19:18.319 --> 02:19:21.479 good for the country. And what do you think the 2467 02:19:21.559 --> 02:19:24.920 solution is. I mean, do you think any of these 2468 02:19:25.000 --> 02:19:28.840 things are going to come to a military kind of end? 2469 02:19:29.079 --> 02:19:33.440 David, Yes, I think they. You know, President Trump has 2470 02:19:33.440 --> 02:19:35.520 the art of the deal. He has said in both 2471 02:19:35.600 --> 02:19:41.479 locations Greenland and also the Panama Canal that military options 2472 02:19:41.559 --> 02:19:44.399 are on the table. And he's absolutely right because those 2473 02:19:44.479 --> 02:19:48.120 are a national security interest in both Greenland more so 2474 02:19:48.200 --> 02:19:52.520 in the Panama Canal for military purposes, but also economic purposes. 2475 02:19:52.559 --> 02:19:55.040 If China really wanted to choke off the United States 2476 02:19:55.079 --> 02:19:57.440 of America and our goods coming in. They would just 2477 02:19:57.479 --> 02:20:00.440 shut that Panama Canal down. And as you said earlier, 2478 02:20:00.600 --> 02:20:03.600 we create habits. So you know when Jimmy Carter sold 2479 02:20:03.600 --> 02:20:06.159 that for a dollar that was not in the best 2480 02:20:06.159 --> 02:20:08.360 interest in the United States of America for shipping. We 2481 02:20:08.440 --> 02:20:11.760 put blood and money into building the Panama Canal and 2482 02:20:12.000 --> 02:20:13.719 we need to have that back. And I know Congress 2483 02:20:13.719 --> 02:20:16.120 has put a couple of bills forward as soon as 2484 02:20:16.159 --> 02:20:19.120 President Trump comes to be aggressive and get the Panama 2485 02:20:19.239 --> 02:20:22.239 Canal back and also Greenland. So I do believe he's 2486 02:20:22.280 --> 02:20:23.600 going to make those bolts happen. 2487 02:20:24.360 --> 02:20:27.559 Well, I mean, you hope to think Jimmy Carter, as 2488 02:20:27.959 --> 02:20:31.239 an avowed Christian, has gone to his glory now and 2489 02:20:31.280 --> 02:20:33.319 it's with the Lord. But what do you think the 2490 02:20:33.440 --> 02:20:37.879 legacy of Jimmy Carter is overall? When you think about 2491 02:20:37.959 --> 02:20:41.959 stuff like the Panama Canal, when you think about the 2492 02:20:42.000 --> 02:20:45.079 creation of the Federal Department of Education and the Department 2493 02:20:45.079 --> 02:20:49.719 of Energy and all these things that occurred during Carter's administration, 2494 02:20:50.840 --> 02:20:54.760 what do you think his final chapter will be here 2495 02:20:54.840 --> 02:20:55.360 on Earth? 2496 02:20:55.479 --> 02:20:59.280 David, Well, between him and Biden will go down in 2497 02:20:59.360 --> 02:21:01.799 history as the two where's president we've ever had, and 2498 02:21:01.799 --> 02:21:05.879 it's not even close. You mentioned Iran as well, taking 2499 02:21:06.159 --> 02:21:10.280 a pro Iran and make them the Ayatola, which is 2500 02:21:10.360 --> 02:21:15.280 extravagant or extreme Islam that has caused problems for our 2501 02:21:15.360 --> 02:21:17.879 partners in Israel's caused problems for the United States of 2502 02:21:17.879 --> 02:21:21.639 America when we have hostages held hostage for four hundred 2503 02:21:21.639 --> 02:21:25.760 and forty four days, all from Iran. Where look at 2504 02:21:25.799 --> 02:21:29.120 Iran today, they are a menace on the face of 2505 02:21:29.120 --> 02:21:31.639 the earth. They want to have It's not if they'll 2506 02:21:31.680 --> 02:21:35.639 use nuclear weapons. They will. And some Christians who don't 2507 02:21:35.680 --> 02:21:39.120 get into the Old Testament don't realize what a threat 2508 02:21:39.280 --> 02:21:41.840 Iran is. That's Persia. They're trying to re establish the 2509 02:21:41.840 --> 02:21:45.680 Persian Empire, just like the prophet Daniel said would happen 2510 02:21:45.719 --> 02:21:48.239 in the end days. And they truly believe if they 2511 02:21:48.280 --> 02:21:51.639 attack nuclear wise, the great Satan the United States and 2512 02:21:51.680 --> 02:21:55.879 little Satan Israel, that they're twelfth Mihaidi, their Messiah will 2513 02:21:55.879 --> 02:21:57.879 come back. So it's not if they'll use the weapon, 2514 02:21:58.159 --> 02:22:01.040 they will use the weapon. And the biggest form of 2515 02:22:01.079 --> 02:22:02.959 security we have out there today. 2516 02:22:03.200 --> 02:22:06.159 I didn't know Islam had a Messiah I thought Christianity 2517 02:22:06.280 --> 02:22:11.239 was the only religion that actually has a true Messiah. 2518 02:22:11.680 --> 02:22:14.479 Well, they call it their Mahadi. It's the twelfth Mahadi 2519 02:22:14.600 --> 02:22:17.840 that they'll believe that will come back in the prophet 2520 02:22:18.719 --> 02:22:22.120 to lead them to Mohammad. And they truly believe by 2521 02:22:22.600 --> 02:22:25.440 an attacking of a nuclear weapon would bring this twelfth 2522 02:22:25.479 --> 02:22:26.280 Mahadi back. 2523 02:22:26.840 --> 02:22:27.319 Jeez. 2524 02:22:28.399 --> 02:22:31.280 Yeah, first it was the seventy Virgins, and now it's 2525 02:22:31.319 --> 02:22:37.319 this Pastor Scarlett.

Lord's listen to the prayers. I 2535 02:23:10.959 --> 02:23:13.239 think we're gonna have the greatest revival in the history 2536 02:23:13.280 --> 02:23:14.840 of the world. We just got to get through these 2537 02:23:14.879 --> 02:23:15.639 bumpy periods. 2538 02:23:15.639 --> 02:23:18.440 First Truscott and is there. 2539 02:23:18.319 --> 02:23:20.680 A website address for people to learn more about your 2540 02:23:20.719 --> 02:23:21.840 ministry and your outreach. 2541 02:23:23.360 --> 02:23:25.440 Yes, you can go to hisglory dot m ME to 2542 02:23:25.479 --> 02:23:28.079 get all of our twenty four to seven broadcasts.
