Speaker 1: Back on the Big One seven HUNDREDLW. Dan Carroll in
Speaker 1: for Bill Cunningham. If you're listening to me right now,
Speaker 1: you survived the massive snowstorm that came rolling through the
Speaker 1: tri State in most of the Midwest over the last
Speaker 1: thirty six forty eight hours. So here we are today,
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about that a little bit today,
Speaker 1: although things that are probably more associated with that more
Speaker 1: than anything else. You know, if you're like me and
Speaker 1: you were one of the vast majority that did not
Speaker 1: have to go to work tomorrow, what did you do yesterday?
Speaker 1: What did you do? You were able to stay in
Speaker 1: your house, your house that was heated by the furnace
Speaker 1: that you probably have in your basement or another part
Speaker 1: of your home, largely because of natural gas fossil fuels
Speaker 1: that gets piped into your house and run into your
Speaker 1: heater and is ignited and fires up and distributes warm
Speaker 1: air throughout your house. What else were you able to do?
Speaker 1: You're able to enjoy a piping hot cup of coffee,
Speaker 1: and you were able to curl up in front of
Speaker 1: your big screen TV and watch Netflix or whatever else
Speaker 1: your heart desired. You were able to surf the internet
Speaker 1: add nauseum all day yesterday, curled up in a and
Speaker 1: a closely blanket. And why were you able to do
Speaker 1: all those things? Because of petroleum and fossil fuels. Even
Speaker 1: people who decided to go outside and brave the cold
Speaker 1: and remove the snow from their driveways and their sidewalks,
Speaker 1: why were they able to do that? Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: they were able to bundle up and put on protective
Speaker 1: clothing that protected them from the cold in the elements.
Speaker 1: And that clothing only exists because of petroleum products and
Speaker 1: fossil fuels and everything. Everything that we have that made
Speaker 1: us be able to get through this snowstorm and relative
Speaker 1: ease and comfort is largely because of and in some
Speaker 1: cases only because we have have access to abundant and
Speaker 1: relatively cheap fossil fuels and fossil fuel products. There is
Speaker 1: no one that I have as a guest on this
Speaker 1: show that knows more about this issue than the one
Speaker 1: and only Daniel Turner, the main man at Powerthefuture dot Com.
Speaker 1: And Daniel Turner, fresh off another appearance on Fox News,
Speaker 1: Welcome again to seven hundred WLW and happy new year
Speaker 1: to you. How you doing, Danielday?
Speaker 2: It is great to kick off the year being a
Speaker 2: guest with you, Danzel, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: So I just talked about all that stuff that made
Speaker 1: it easy and possible for the vast majority of Americans
Speaker 1: to weather this storm. I'm sure you got hit by
Speaker 1: a two where you live in Virginia. But let me
Speaker 1: ask you this. We have, You know, we have these
Speaker 1: things going on, and how what kind of shape would
Speaker 1: we have been in had we been solely reliant on
Speaker 1: windmill power or the power that comes from solar panels.
Speaker 1: Because I've got a neighbor that's got a foot of
Speaker 1: snow on his solar panels on the roof of his
Speaker 1: home right now, and I'm not sure how much solar
Speaker 1: power he's generating today with a foot of snow on
Speaker 1: his solar panels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know how much he's generating. None. None power.
Speaker 2: That's how much he's generating. And look, and that's not
Speaker 2: the fault of solar panel that's just reality. One of
Speaker 2: the constant problems I have with the with the radical
Speaker 2: left when they push wind and solar the ignorance factor is,
Speaker 2: I will say very candidly, I will give you all
Speaker 2: of the drawbacks of fossil fuels because they have drawbacks. Right,
Speaker 2: we don't live in utopia. There are lots of challenges
Speaker 2: for the fossil fuel industry. But if you compare those
Speaker 2: challenges with their benefits to the challenges and benefits the
Speaker 2: pros and cons of wind and solar, well, it's not
Speaker 2: a fair fight and it never will be. It is
Speaker 2: not the fault. It's the fault of physics that when
Speaker 2: you're panels covered in a foot of snow, it doesn't work.
Speaker 2: It's the fault of physics that below freezing temperatures, even
Speaker 2: if the wind turbine is spinning, it's not getting a charge. Right.
Speaker 2: It's the fault of physics that if you take your
Speaker 2: phone right now, your iPhone, and you stick it in
Speaker 2: the freezer and come back in a couple hours, you
Speaker 2: will see that it's dead. And you'll say, well, that's bizarre. Yes,
Speaker 2: it does not hold a charge in sub zero temperatures.
Speaker 2: Maybe one day we'll be able to change that, but
Speaker 2: that day has not yet come. And so we are
Speaker 2: pushing society to live on whether dependent technologies without compromising
Speaker 2: their quality of life. And we're risking we're risking your
Speaker 2: existence when we're telling people that wind and solar will
Speaker 2: work when days like today in places like Cincinnati and
Speaker 2: where I am in rural Virginia, wind and solar would
Speaker 2: be absolutely useless.
Speaker 1: And the thing I keep asking myself is who benefits
Speaker 1: from things like this? We have known for a long
Speaker 1: time that Joe Biden, the radical left want nothing more
Speaker 1: than to appease and make friends with hardcore leftist extremists
Speaker 1: and environmental extremists who want to see policies like this
Speaker 1: and acted. And then Joe Biden comes out, what was
Speaker 1: it forty eight hours ago with this plan where he
Speaker 1: is going to shut down I guess drilling exploration, any
Speaker 1: means of extracting fossil fuels from America's East Coast, the
Speaker 1: West Coast, the North Bearing Sea, the Gulf of Mexico,
Speaker 1: all these places, Joe Biden says, now says, I guess
Speaker 1: by executive FIAT that all these places are off limits
Speaker 1: from here into perpetuity for exploration of natural resource.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And two things that are very important to remember when
Speaker 2: it comes to this disastrous decision of evil decision by
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, who's an evil, angry old man and a
Speaker 2: terrible human being and a failed president. But two things
Speaker 2: to take away first and foremost is that when you
Speaker 2: cross that imaginary line from American coast to international waters,
Speaker 2: when you cross into international waters, all of our enemies
Speaker 2: are operating. The largest oil platform in the world is
Speaker 2: operated by Communist China in the Gulf of Mexico. It's
Speaker 2: in international waters. We can't do anything about it. But
Speaker 2: they are looking for oil off our coast, off the
Speaker 2: coast of Russia in international excuse me, off the coast
Speaker 2: of Alaska in international waters. Russia is operating in the
Speaker 2: Arctic looking for oil and gas. So only America is
Speaker 2: unable to look for oil and gas in these waters.
Speaker 2: Right only we are the ones punished from from from
Speaker 2: finding these resources. Our enemies are allowed to operate. And
Speaker 2: that's kind of a perfect example of everything Joe Biden
Speaker 2: has done right. Make America poor and weak and stupid
Speaker 2: and let our enemies thrive. And the second thing to
Speaker 2: take away is that if this had anything to do
Speaker 2: with climate change or protecting the environment, he wouldn't have
Speaker 2: waited four years. An example of that was, of course COVID,
Speaker 2: when Joe Biden believed the vaccine was going to save everybody.
Speaker 2: You had to take that damn vaccine whether you wanted
Speaker 2: it or not. And if you didn't, you were getting fired,
Speaker 2: you were getting court martialed, you were getting arrested, r
Speaker 2: you were taking the vaccine, or you were not going
Speaker 2: to leave the house, because that was the medicine Joe
Speaker 2: Biden wanted to prescribe to save you. Well, if the
Speaker 2: medicine of saving the climate, saving the planet is this
Speaker 2: water in this land. It took him four years. That
Speaker 2: seems kind of strange, does it. So don't ever try
Speaker 2: to pretend that this has anything to do with the environment.
Speaker 2: This is Joe Biden being an angry, bitter, retaliatory old
Speaker 2: man who lost an election and knows he has a
Speaker 2: shameful four years as president, and now he's trying to
Speaker 2: exact revenge or or punish the incoming administration, because that's
Speaker 2: who Joe Biden is, an angry, bitter, resentful old man.
Speaker 1: But Daniel Turner, he put out a statement saying that
Speaker 1: that there is a climate crisis, that these you know,
Speaker 1: these activities off the coast of America, the East Coast,
Speaker 1: the West coast, the Gulf of Mexico, that these activities
Speaker 1: threatened communities across the across the country, he says transitioning
Speaker 1: to clean energy needs to happen now that he needs
Speaker 1: to protect these things for our children and our grandchildren.
Speaker 1: Don't you care about that at all? Come on, Daniel, exactly.
Speaker 2: And that's what they throw at you to have you
Speaker 2: shut up. And it's the same thing as wear the mask. Right.
Speaker 2: You know, old seniors are dying right now because you
Speaker 2: won't wear a mask. What they really are saying is
Speaker 2: do what you're told, shut up and stop trying to disobey. Look,
Speaker 2: the governor of the state of New York, my home state,
Speaker 2: my home city, New York City, and this congestion pricing
Speaker 2: which started yesterday where it now charges you nine dollars
Speaker 2: to drive through New York City, she's saying it's about
Speaker 2: public health. You want to say, is this public health?
Speaker 2: That's how she's getting you to shut up. She cares
Speaker 2: about children, Dan, you don't care about children. I'm doing
Speaker 2: this to protect the children. So from now on, everything
Speaker 2: I do, I'm just gonna say it protects the children.
Speaker 2: That's the only way to get away with pushing an
Speaker 2: agenda and having everyone just just acquiesce. So yeah, it's
Speaker 2: just it's infuriating, and you can hear the anger in
Speaker 2: my voice. It's funny. I've asked God to make me
Speaker 2: less angry in twenty twenty five New Year's resolution. Right,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna have anger in my heart. And the
Speaker 2: Lord replied to me and said, once Joe Biden's out
Speaker 2: of office, it will be a lot easier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we still got thirteen and God only knows not
Speaker 1: long this thirteen days is going to last, because I
Speaker 1: mean the way he's shoveling money out the door, the
Speaker 1: way that his administration is working to screw over Have
Speaker 1: you ever seen anything like this? Is any Is this
Speaker 1: the way this administration is doing everything it possibly can
Speaker 1: to sabotage the incoming administration, and really for no good
Speaker 1: reason other than too just to make life a living
Speaker 1: hell for Trump and the people who are going to
Speaker 1: work for Trump and by extension, make life a living
Speaker 1: hell for the people of the United States and try
Speaker 1: to prevent Trump from furthering his agenda items.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And look, this is this is like sabotage
Speaker 2: in your incoming quarterback, so that by comparison, you don't
Speaker 2: look to be as lousy. Right, I don't know who
Speaker 2: the giants are going to have for their quarterback next year.
Speaker 2: But if they're able to hurt this guy somehow, well,
Speaker 2: then you know what, Daniel Jones doesn't look quite so bad,
Speaker 2: does he? And that's what Biden is doing. I can
Speaker 2: make if I can make the I probably shouldn't have
Speaker 2: used the Giants reference in Cincinnati, but I'm a Giants fan.
Speaker 2: But if you have sustention, can yeah, thank you. If
Speaker 2: he can make the incoming Trump administration not quite so successful,
Speaker 2: well he doesn't look quite as bad then right, well,
Speaker 2: how bad was Biden? If Trump isn't that great but.
Speaker 1: Really looks and how small and petty that is though
Speaker 1: for fit for him to act like this? You know,
Speaker 1: when we talk about energy and energy policy, but it's
Speaker 1: not just that. It's the appliances we we you know,
Speaker 1: we talked earlier about the gas stoves that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: wants to come after and and take out of your home.
Speaker 1: I guess they already started doing that in New York City.
Speaker 1: But now he's talking about water heaters and uh, and
Speaker 1: the heaters for your home and how you know, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has decided that using natural gas for these appliances
Speaker 1: is not a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and That's that's the anger level I have with
Speaker 2: this administration, which is just so thoroughly, thoroughly un American.
Speaker 2: Our founders would be confused to think that some bureaucrat
Speaker 2: is going to tell you what ty of hot water
Speaker 2: heater you're allowed to have, and they have no problem
Speaker 2: doing that, right, Joe Biden on Monday announced about forty
Speaker 2: percent of the hot water heaters on the market are
Speaker 2: going to be taken off by twenty twenty nine. Now,
Speaker 2: of course Trump will reverse that, and Trump has actually
Speaker 2: talked about actions to protect appliances going forward, which I
Speaker 2: think is welcome. But this administration has no problem telling
Speaker 2: you about your your toilet, your light bulb, your stove,
Speaker 2: your air conditioner, your ceiling fan, every aspect of your life.
Speaker 2: And you have to go back to those great patriots
Speaker 2: who literally two hundred and fifty years ago were getting
Speaker 2: so tired of George the Third saying like, who what
Speaker 2: is happening right now? Well, we don't have a king,
Speaker 2: but we have the same attitude of tyranny where Joe
Speaker 2: Biden thinks he knows better than you, and damn it,
Speaker 2: you're going to do what he tells you because he
Speaker 2: knows better, and that has to start ending. And I
Speaker 2: think it win with this administration coming into office.
Speaker 1: And the thing that probably infuriates me more than anything else,
Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, is that when these politicians come up with
Speaker 1: policies like this and talk about how you know, we
Speaker 1: all have to make the sacrifice, we all have to
Speaker 1: get in the same boat, we all got to pull
Speaker 1: in the same direction. Well, you know, what's good for
Speaker 1: us is not necessarily good for them. How many of
Speaker 1: these politicians in the multiple homes that Joe Biden owns,
Speaker 1: how many of those homes do you think are heated
Speaker 1: by natural gas? What about Barack Obama in the multiple
Speaker 1: mansions that he owns, how many of those do you
Speaker 1: think have gas appliances? What about John Kerry? What about
Speaker 1: people like you know, Nancy Pelosi. How many of her
Speaker 1: homes out in California or where god knows wherever else
Speaker 1: they are. You know, she's able to take a hot
Speaker 1: shower whenever she wants, because she's got a gas fired
Speaker 1: hot water heater. You know, these people don't want to
Speaker 1: give these things up for themselves, but for the rest
Speaker 1: of us, you know, you're just going to have to make.
Speaker 2: Do nothing highlighted this clearer in my mind than when
Speaker 2: Microsoft opened a new data center or plants to open
Speaker 2: a new data center in Pennsylvania and they asked to
Speaker 2: restart reactor to at three Mile Island because they want
Speaker 2: to power it. And I thought, here's Microsoft. Here's Bill Gates,
Speaker 2: mister climate change him, mister, and Bill Gates is everything.
Speaker 2: He was in Norway yesterday talking about censorship. He knows
Speaker 2: everything about vaccines. He's of course on the climate. But
Speaker 2: here's Bill Gates saying I don't want wind and so
Speaker 2: those things suck.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I have a data center to build. This is about
Speaker 2: making money, so I want what works, and what works
Speaker 2: is nuclear. So when it came to Microsoft's data center,
Speaker 2: they're not going to risk it on crappy wind and solar,
Speaker 2: where snow and lack of wind is going to hurt
Speaker 2: their profit margins. No, they want reliable energy. And that's
Speaker 2: exactly how it works. Right for you and me. We
Speaker 2: have to get stuck with crappy wind and solar because
Speaker 2: people like Bill Gates make money. But when they make money,
Speaker 2: well know they want nuclear because it works all the time.
Speaker 1: Of course all the time. It's good. It's good to
Speaker 1: be in favor with the political elites in this country,
Speaker 1: is it not?
Speaker 2: Oh, exactly, and that that bifurcation has to start coming
Speaker 2: to and and I think it will. I think the
Speaker 2: American people spoke very loudly in November. These next twelve
Speaker 2: days are going to be hell as Biden tries to
Speaker 2: do more and more retaliatory things, But changes coming and
Speaker 2: it will be glorious when it happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're starting to come to reality now about what
Speaker 1: happened on January sixth. We're coming to a reality now
Speaker 1: what happened with the Liz Cheney. But how about how
Speaker 1: about Liz Cheney getting that medal from Joe Biden the
Speaker 1: other day? And did you see the look on her
Speaker 1: face when he gave her that medal and and with
Speaker 1: a death grip with his right hand, grabbed a hold
Speaker 1: of her hand. Wouldn't let her grab that medal and
Speaker 1: walk away? They're standing there taking those pictures. What do
Speaker 1: you think was going through her mind in that moment
Speaker 1: when she had to stand there next to Joe Biden
Speaker 1: for probably for her what seemed like an eternity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's just remarkable how low people will
Speaker 2: think for their agenda, for their issues, for their.
Speaker 1: Whatever she wants that pardon, she's got to pay the price.
Speaker 1: And I think that she's.
Speaker 2: Got twelve days the preemptive pardon. You know what, Dan,
Speaker 2: if that's the case, I want to pardon too, because
Speaker 2: then tomorrow I'm going to go out and rob a bank.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to ask Biden to pardon me now
Speaker 2: or the preemptive pardon, and there'll be a millionaire in
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. Just let's see if it happened.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Daniel Turner, I'm glad you survive the
Speaker 1: snow Star. Why do we name these storms?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: What is Does that really serve any purpose?
Speaker 2: No, it's just in still more fear and people fear
Speaker 2: of the website.
Speaker 1: Exactly unbelievable. But Daniel Turner, the first time we've had
Speaker 1: a chance to talk in twenty twenty five. Always great
Speaker 1: having you on, buddy, and look forward to I'll look
Speaker 1: forward to a lot more conversations in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: And thank you again, and we'll talk to you again.
Speaker 2: So thanks Dan.
Speaker 1: All Right, there you go, the one and only Daniels Turner.
Speaker 1: Check out his website Power of the Future, and you
Speaker 1: will see all kinds of great things there. It is
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred ww
Speaker 1: MAN seven hundred WLW twelve thirty seven. Now it's Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll in for Bill Cunningham. Glad you could be here today.
Speaker 1: And in our previous conversation, I was talking with Daniel
Speaker 1: Turner about how George, not George, but Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: essentially doing everything he can to give the American people
Speaker 1: the middle finger as he is looking at the exit
Speaker 1: and on his way out. One of the things that
Speaker 1: he is doing is giving medals. He is commuting sentences,
Speaker 1: granting pardons and all the rest to just a horrible
Speaker 1: cast of characters. And among them is the Presidential Medal
Speaker 1: of Freedom that he put around Well, he didn't put
Speaker 1: it around the neck of George Soros. George Soros is
Speaker 1: pretty old. He might be older than Biten. But George
Speaker 1: Soros did not show up at the ceremony. His son
Speaker 1: showed up to collect his Presidential Medal of Freedom right
Speaker 1: after Hillary Clinton got hers, the highest civilian honor that
Speaker 1: a president can give. So I was looking around for
Speaker 1: someone who may know something about George Sorosby George Soros
Speaker 1: is not a guy that I've talked a lot about
Speaker 1: on my radio shows. But one guy who knows a
Speaker 1: little bit something about this guy is Zach Smith. He
Speaker 1: is a senior legal legal Fellow and a Supreme Court
Speaker 1: Appellatic with the Supreme Court Appellate Advocacy Program at the
Speaker 1: Edward Mease Center for Legal and Just Judicial Studies at
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation. His book is called Rogue Prosecutors. How
Speaker 1: radical Soros lawyers are destroying America's communities. And it is
Speaker 1: my pleasure to welcome in Zack Smith against seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW and Zack Smith. Happy New Year to you, sir.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm doing well. Happy New Year to you as well,
Speaker 4: and thank you for having me on the show today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me a little bit. The White House said
Speaker 1: this about George Soros. George Soros is an investor, philanthropist,
Speaker 1: founder of the Open Society Foundation. Through his network of
Speaker 1: foundation partners and projects in more than one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty countries, Soros has focused on global initiatives that strengthen democracy,
Speaker 1: human rights, education, and social justice. I would say that's
Speaker 1: a fairly generous statement about George Soros. Would you not.
Speaker 4: Generous is a very kind way of putting it. I
Speaker 4: think the appropriate words are ones we probably can't use
Speaker 4: on radio, are public airwaves. But look, I'm a former
Speaker 4: federal prosecutor. My research of the Heritage Foundation focuses in
Speaker 4: large part or criminal justice issues, and it won't surprise
Speaker 4: you one of the ways that George Soros has been
Speaker 4: most influential in recent years is backing these so called
Speaker 4: progressive prosecutors now I call them growth prosecutors, because they
Speaker 4: fail to do the basic job of prosecuting criminals, which
Speaker 4: is required of prosecutors, and somehow they Many on the left,
Speaker 4: including these road das, have pushed this as a good
Speaker 4: and when you dig into it, what we found at
Speaker 4: Heritage through our research is that not only has George
Speaker 4: Soros spent millions and millions of dollars directly backing these candidates,
Speaker 4: but he's also set up an entire infrastructure, a network
Speaker 4: of five oh one three c's, five one C four's
Speaker 4: and other entities that he is supporting, either directly through
Speaker 4: his Open Society's Foundation or in another way that is
Speaker 4: put in an infrastructure to push the radical idea that
Speaker 4: somehow we can become safer in our country, on our
Speaker 4: streets by not prosecuting crimes. It's absurd and it's dangerous
Speaker 4: for us as a country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, George Soros, I guess made his money as as
Speaker 1: a hedge fund manager. I mean, the guy is worth.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many billions the guy is worth,
Speaker 1: but he's He was a Nazi collaborator, stole properties from
Speaker 1: other Jews as they were on their ways their way
Speaker 1: to the death. Camps said in an interview with sixty
Speaker 1: Minutes years ago that he really doesn't have any you know,
Speaker 1: any any concern about that at all. Doesn't bother him
Speaker 1: to have engaged in those sorts of activities. Why is
Speaker 1: it that George Soros engages in these sorts of things
Speaker 1: that that are so anti American and and and so
Speaker 1: left wing and so radical and really has been leading
Speaker 1: the charge on this for decades now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question. Look, I can't read George
Speaker 4: Soros's mind. What I can do is look at public
Speaker 4: statements he's made, look at the policies and positions to
Speaker 4: people he supports have taken. And at least in the
Speaker 4: criminal justice system, we know that the people he supports
Speaker 4: have bought into two myths. They bought into the myth
Speaker 4: that our criminal justice system and our country to some
Speaker 4: degree is systemically racist, which of course it's not. And
Speaker 4: they've also bought into the myth that our criminal justice
Speaker 4: system locks up too many people, that we have a
Speaker 4: mass incarceration problem in our country, which is categorically not true.
Speaker 4: While it is true we lock up more people in
Speaker 4: the United States than many other countries, it's also true
Speaker 4: that we have a much much higher violent crime rate.
Speaker 4: And so whenever you hear these entities are individuals supported
Speaker 4: by George Soarls and the others saying we need to
Speaker 4: lower our prison population by sixty, seventy or even eighty
Speaker 4: percent in some instances, keep in mind that means that
Speaker 4: we're going to be releasing onto the streets repeat violent criminals.
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, I think you deal with at New York, Chicago, California,
Speaker 4: places that have tried these strategies, it hasn't worked out
Speaker 4: very well for them or their citizens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean that's always been the question is
Speaker 1: how does he benefit? Who benefits from that? But I
Speaker 1: think you make clear that we know who it is
Speaker 1: who the people who suffer are, and that is the
Speaker 1: people who fall victim to these crimes by people who
Speaker 1: are constantly coming into the justice system and then finding
Speaker 1: their way back out onto the street, in some cases
Speaker 1: in a matter of hours to go and commit more crimes.
Speaker 1: Just this past weekend, there was yet another arrest on
Speaker 1: the New York City subway of a guy who was
Speaker 1: out there stabbing people on the subway. Unfortunately this time
Speaker 1: around didn't kill anyone, but this was a guy who
Speaker 1: had eighty seven prior arrests for severe violent crimes. And
Speaker 1: so you know, that's the revolving door that sends people
Speaker 1: like that back out onto the street because the prosecutors
Speaker 1: there are supporting these sort of policies that George Soros
Speaker 1: wants to put in place, and it's innocent people who
Speaker 1: wind up paying the real world price of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 4: Look, Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney who is engaged
Speaker 4: in a crusading against Donald Trump, is one of these
Speaker 4: Soros supported rogue prosecutors. And not want to be clear,
Speaker 4: the Soro support can take a number of forms. It
Speaker 4: can be direct financial contributions, it can be indirect contributions,
Speaker 4: independing spenditures. Participants in these.
Speaker 1: Other five oh one, C three d's or C fours.
Speaker 4: He's set up, and so there's a lot of ways
Speaker 4: where Soros can support his preferred candidates. But what's ironic
Speaker 4: in Manhattan, while you have Alvin Bradd focusing on prosecuting
Speaker 4: Donald Trump under very novel legal theory, under a case
Speaker 4: I think everyone agrees wouldn't have been brought if the
Speaker 4: defendant's name wasn't Donald Trump. At the same time he's
Speaker 4: pursuing those charges, he's not prosecuting repeat violent offenders. He's
Speaker 4: ordering his assistance not to seek bail as a matter
Speaker 4: of course. He's ordering them not to seek sentences of
Speaker 4: incarceration as a matter of course. And even in the
Speaker 4: rare instances where he will allow his assistant deputyda's to
Speaker 4: seek sentences of incarceration, even for violent crimes things like murder, rape, robbery,
Speaker 4: he's telling them, at most they should ask for twenty
Speaker 4: five years imprisonment, and only then in extremely rare cases.
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, I think if you look at what's happening
Speaker 4: in New York today, look at the Newer Post in
Speaker 4: your Times, the Wall Street Journal, stories of crime and
Speaker 4: his consequences are on the front page on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how much you know about his son,
Speaker 1: but apparently his son is getting ready to take over
Speaker 1: I guess the vast parts, if not all, of his
Speaker 1: empire and the money that he doles out. And I've
Speaker 1: read articles where his son may be worse than his father.
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about George Soros's son?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so his son is Alex Soros. He's the chosen
Speaker 4: heir to kind of this political, supposedly philanthropic empire. What
Speaker 4: should concern us is that Alex has said that his
Speaker 4: focus is going to be much more on domestic US politics.
Speaker 4: George Soros, his tradition engaged not only in US political efforts,
Speaker 4: global efforts as well. Alex Soros has said he's going
Speaker 4: to refocus many of those global efforts to focus domestically
Speaker 4: here in the United States instead.
Speaker 1: And isn't it interesting when we hear politicians, especially those
Speaker 1: on the left, those in the Democrat Party, who constantly
Speaker 1: wring their hands and head to the nearest microphone to
Speaker 1: complain about how the money is influencing our politics and
Speaker 1: all the influence that these big time donors have, but
Speaker 1: especially as it relates to Republicans. But I don't think
Speaker 1: you can find anyone that has donated more money to
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. Hey, I can look online and I
Speaker 1: can find pictures of George Soros with Nancy Pelosi and
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and you name the Democrat
Speaker 1: and either George Soros or his son has been paling
Speaker 1: around with these people for a very long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Let me say two things. One is, keep in mind
Speaker 4: many on the left. I did to cry dark money
Speaker 4: and politics, these supposed ways that the right wing is,
Speaker 4: you know, funding candidates and issues surreptitiously. In fact, it's
Speaker 4: the left wing, and largely through George Soros and a
Speaker 4: few other billionaires who have perfected the art of this
Speaker 4: dark money. When I talked about the network that George
Speaker 4: Soros has established, it's extensive, it's very hard to trace,
Speaker 4: it's very hard to disclose exactly who is giving what
Speaker 4: and where it's going and how it's being spent. And
Speaker 4: that is the way the left structured their entire political enterprise.
Speaker 4: The second thing I'll say is, if you listen to
Speaker 4: many of the left, if anybody dares to criticize George
Speaker 4: Soros for his radical positions or is very backing up
Speaker 4: very troubling politicians. Many of the left like to say
Speaker 4: that that's anti Semitic, and I think it's important to
Speaker 4: push back against that, because I think any of us
Speaker 4: would agree no one should be criticized or discriminate against
Speaker 4: because of their ethnicity, their race, their religion, nothing like that.
Speaker 4: And it's important to make clear that the criticisms of
Speaker 4: George Soros are not based on his Jewish heritage. The
Speaker 4: criticisms of George Soros are based on the radical policies
Speaker 4: and politicians that he has supported that have caused so
Speaker 4: much harm in the places where they've been implemented.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was reading another piece where they're talking about the
Speaker 1: amount of homicides that take place in the United States,
Speaker 1: and it turns out that forty percent of murders in
Speaker 1: the United States take place in districts where Soros backed
Speaker 1: prosecutors or district attorneys are in charge and their policies
Speaker 1: are in charge. And you just touched on it a
Speaker 1: little while ago, talking about how some of these prosecutors
Speaker 1: have already been voted out because people are seeing that
Speaker 1: these policies clearly don't work. Will this cause him to
Speaker 1: stand down at all? Well, will this cause him maybe
Speaker 1: to rethink these positions and support prosecutors who who may
Speaker 1: see things a little bit differently.
Speaker 4: No, unfortunately, I don't think you will. In fact, recently,
Speaker 4: when a lot of these criticisms were being made, after
Speaker 4: the radical Road process here in San Francisco was recalled
Speaker 4: and removed from office, after the prosecutor in Chicago declined
Speaker 4: to run for office again, and several other defeats around
Speaker 4: the country, George Soros pendent up at in the Wall
Speaker 4: Street Journal where he defended his giving and support of
Speaker 4: many of these prosecutors. He said he was proud of
Speaker 4: their work, he would continue to contribute and support them.
Speaker 4: And so, unfortunately, I think we have to stay vigilant
Speaker 4: and stay tuned because instead of recognizing the errors of
Speaker 4: his ways, which are many, it looks like George Soros
Speaker 4: is doubling down and is committed to putting even more
Speaker 4: money into pushing these radical policies, particularly in the criminal
Speaker 4: justice space.
Speaker 1: Absolutely unbelievable. And again, what's what is the possible benefit though?
Speaker 1: Is it just that these are his ideas and these
Speaker 1: are the kind of things that he wants to see
Speaker 1: all across America and maybe other parts of the world.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I mean, I've asked you
Speaker 1: this question before, but that's what keeps popping up in
Speaker 1: my head is what is the benefit to him of
Speaker 1: all these things that he engages in.
Speaker 4: And again, look, I think if we look at the
Speaker 4: individuals and entities he's supported, they have a fundamentally different
Speaker 4: conception of what the American way of life should be.
Speaker 4: They have a fundamentally different conception of what the fundamental
Speaker 4: values of our society should be. And unfortunately, George Soros
Speaker 4: is supporting many of those radicals and putting millions and
Speaker 4: even billions of dollars behind this effort to fundamentally transform
Speaker 4: and remake our society.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you found out that Joe Biden wanted to
Speaker 1: give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, what thoughts went
Speaker 1: through your mind? I mean, I'm thinking that this is
Speaker 1: just just a total disrespect to people like me, people
Speaker 1: across the country. I don't know, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't want to put words in your mouth, but what
Speaker 1: was your your your thought process when you heard that
Speaker 1: George Soros was going to be honored.
Speaker 4: Like this, Right, I think it's a in the face
Speaker 4: to the citizens who live in the cities where his
Speaker 4: policies have been enacting and cast so much harm. It's
Speaker 4: a slap in the face to the victims and their
Speaker 4: family members who have had to suffer under the consequences
Speaker 4: of these policies. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: it looks like Joe Biden is trying to essentially pay
Speaker 4: off a prominent left wing donor by giving him what
Speaker 4: should be a very lifetime achievement, a very high ranking award,
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, all that does
Speaker 4: is cheap in the award and really cast yet another
Speaker 4: chapter in the shameful legacy that Joe Biden is going
Speaker 4: to leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, president of the United States. It's a shame that
Speaker 1: that is going to be recorded in history for all
Speaker 1: of time. But I don't know, maybe in the long run,
Speaker 1: if someone asked me, hey, who won the Presidential Medal
Speaker 1: of Freedom back in the year two thousand and the
Speaker 1: year two thousand and two or the two year two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, I probably couldn't conjure up a single name. So,
Speaker 1: but hopefully the vast majority of American people will forget
Speaker 1: about this at some point, and maybe all forget it
Speaker 1: about it at some point. But I mean, the terrible
Speaker 1: thing about this is is that it's going to be recorded.
Speaker 1: It were, you know, in the National archives there for
Speaker 1: all time that this guy received this what used to
Speaker 1: be a high honor.
Speaker 4: Well, I think he should serve as a signal that
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party is committed to backing the radical policies
Speaker 4: and ideas that George Soros has championed for so long.
Speaker 4: And so instead of a learning from the recent electoral defeat,
Speaker 4: instead of saying they are pro police, pro business, all
Speaker 4: the things that are left so often likes to tell,
Speaker 4: I think the decision to award George Soros in this
Speaker 4: medal shows that, in fact they are doubling down and
Speaker 4: committed to the ideas Again that's been so harmful.
Speaker 1: To us, that true, no doubt. All right, well, Zach Smith,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I appreciate the time this afternoon,
Speaker 1: and it's it's that Joe Biden is engaging in all
Speaker 1: these acts as he gets ready to leave office. I
Speaker 1: think really is going to be a stain on his
Speaker 1: leggacy if he even even if he had a decent
Speaker 1: legacy that he was going to leave behind in the
Speaker 1: first case. So the book is Rugue prosecutors, how radical
Speaker 1: Soros lawyers are destroying America's communities. And Zack Smith of
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, thank you very much for the time today.
Speaker 1: All the best to you, and I hope you get
Speaker 1: a chance to chat on down the road. Thanks so
Speaker 1: I look forward to it.
Speaker 4: Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 1: On there you go, all right, Zach, Thank you very much,
Speaker 1: Zack Smith from the Heritage Foundation. And say, someone getting
Speaker 1: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I guess if that's you,
Speaker 1: if someone calls you up and says, hey, we need
Speaker 1: you to come to the White House, you're going to
Speaker 1: get the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Hillary Clinton got it,
Speaker 1: Bono got it, Magic Johnson got it. I guess it's
Speaker 1: a big deal. But when you look at a guy
Speaker 1: like George Soros and the harm that he has done
Speaker 1: to so many people, and I was dumbfounded when I
Speaker 1: was researching this topic for this show today and found
Speaker 1: this interview that he did with Steve Croft of sixty
Speaker 1: Minutes and Steve cross Croft asked him about people who
Speaker 1: he was helping to send to the death camps. He says,
Speaker 1: you know, he says, I was only a spectator. Their
Speaker 1: property was being taken away, and he says, I had
Speaker 1: no sense of guilt after all these years, and no
Speaker 1: sense of guilt at all that he was a participant
Speaker 1: in sending Jews his fellow Jews. He's a Hungarian Jew,
Speaker 1: and he escaped the Holocaust by opposing as a Christian
Speaker 1: and helped ship ship off untold numbers of other Jews
Speaker 1: to the Nazi death camps, took their property away, and
Speaker 1: then went on to make his fortune and now donates
Speaker 1: heavily to these leftist radical causes here in the United
Speaker 1: States and elsewhere around the world. And it is a
Speaker 1: huge Democrat, a huge Democrat donor. So again, I guess
Speaker 1: it's good to be favored amongst the ruling class and
Speaker 1: the elitists. It is twelve to fifty five Dan Carroll
Speaker 1: for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: When You Hunt.
Speaker 1: Back on the Big One seven hundred WLW one eight
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham. So we are rocking and
Speaker 1: rolling until three o'clock this afternoon. We are attempting to
Speaker 1: make contact with our guest DL W. Wilbur, who has
Speaker 1: been a great guest on this show thirty years in
Speaker 1: security and counter terrorism with the CIA and the Department
Speaker 1: of Defense. He has served all over Europe, all over
Speaker 1: the Middle East. His book is called In the Shadow
Speaker 1: of the Swords The Bagdad Police Academy. He is also
Speaker 1: a columnist at townhall dot com and he has written
Speaker 1: a piece about a really good piece. And I think
Speaker 1: all the pieces that he writes are really good. But
Speaker 1: his latest piece in town Hall is really really good,
Speaker 1: and he writes, d W. Wilber does that anyone who
Speaker 1: has followed my columns on this platform will recall me
Speaker 1: writing on any number of occasions as a reminder about
Speaker 1: the promise to fundamentally transform the United States made by
Speaker 1: Barack Who's Saint Obama way back in twenty twenty eight. Well,
Speaker 1: Obama prefaced his fundamental transformation or comment by declaring that
Speaker 1: the United States was the greatest country on Earth. It
Speaker 1: always struck me as curious, why if something wasn't indeed
Speaker 1: the greatest, that it needed to be fundamentally transformed. And
Speaker 1: then he goes on to talk about how Obama was
Speaker 1: never vetted by the media, and for all intents and purposes,
Speaker 1: neither was Joe Biden during the twenty twenty election. But
Speaker 1: as promised, here's the one and only del W. Wilber
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW and Dell. Happy New Year to you.
Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I'm doing well and Happy New
Speaker 3: Year to you.
Speaker 1: In return, Happy New Year to you. Before we get
Speaker 1: into your piece here about the medium, I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you about what happened in New Orleans. You
Speaker 1: sent me a text a day or two after the
Speaker 1: event happened in Germany at the Christmas market there where
Speaker 1: some some I guess terrorists decided he was going to
Speaker 1: drive a vehicle down that street, running over and killing
Speaker 1: and maiming and injuring people. And you texted me a
Speaker 1: day or two after that event and you said, something
Speaker 1: similar is on the way here to the United States.
Speaker 1: And sure enough we had what happened in New Orleans
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. I look at this again, and
Speaker 1: I look at yet another failure by Homeland Security, yet
Speaker 1: another failure by the FBI, and yet another failure by
Speaker 1: uh an ultra woke led police force in the city
Speaker 1: of New Orleans. What say you, Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: I hate being right. You know, well, you often are
Speaker 1: right much. I mean, I mean, you know, but I
Speaker 1: understand exactly what you're saying about. You hate to be right,
Speaker 1: but I mean, but that's the thing you don't You
Speaker 1: don't have to be no stradmis I think to see
Speaker 1: these things coming. You know, almost anyone that can look
Speaker 1: at these things and and connect dots A, B and
Speaker 1: C can have a pretty good idea that, uh, that
Speaker 1: these things are going to happen if we allow them
Speaker 1: to continue to happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I hope the hell I'm wrong,
Speaker 3: but I I think we're at the tip of the
Speaker 3: iceberg for what's you know, what's coming down the road
Speaker 3: because of the condition that we've been put in as
Speaker 3: a nation. You know, how weakened we have been over
Speaker 3: the last four years. And uh, unfortunately, our our agencies,
Speaker 3: our federal government that that protects us, or they're supposed
Speaker 3: to be protecting us and has dropped the ball because
Speaker 3: they've been diverted to focus their attentions on other things
Speaker 3: like de EI and and uh, you know, things of
Speaker 3: that nature. So, uh, we've got you know, President of
Speaker 3: Trust's administration coming in is is uh has got a
Speaker 3: tough road ahead of him.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the FBI hasn't exactly said that
Speaker 1: that this terrorist that drove down the street and run
Speaker 1: a pickup truck with an ISIS flag on the back
Speaker 1: on on the New Year's Eve and on New Year
Speaker 1: early on New Year's New Year's Day morning. Uh. They
Speaker 1: they haven't said that necessarily that he was on the radar,
Speaker 1: but yet yesterday they released video, they had timelines, they
Speaker 1: had this guy's history, a out of all this, uh,
Speaker 1: a lot of the radicalization process that he went through.
Speaker 1: And again, I mean, how many times can we as
Speaker 1: a nation put up? I mean, fifteen isn't fifteen dead enough?
Speaker 1: And then and then you've got Adam Schiff who's on
Speaker 1: NBC over the weekend saying that an attack like this
Speaker 1: shows why someone like cash Pattel shouldn't be shouldn't be
Speaker 1: uh approved to head the FBI. As if, as if
Speaker 1: cash Pateel is somehow going to do a worse job
Speaker 1: leading the FBI than what we have right now.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I take anything that Adam Schiff says
Speaker 3: with a great assault to be the guy's the guy's
Speaker 3: a corrupt Not only is any idiot, he's a corrupt idiot.
Speaker 3: So you know, so whatever he talks, you know, whatever
Speaker 3: he says, makes you know, makes no impression on me
Speaker 3: at all. I mean, the guy Alec said, Uh, the
Speaker 3: concern that we have and the problem that we have
Speaker 3: is it's a good thing and it's a bad thing.
Speaker 3: We have protections in this country that protect American citizens
Speaker 3: from you know, illegal search and seizure, from undo or give,
Speaker 3: provide us with due process and everything. And you know,
Speaker 3: as much as we decry the fact that these terrorists
Speaker 3: are able to pull some of these events off, some
Speaker 3: of that is protected by the darn constitution. You know.
Speaker 3: They they had the right to to believe in whatever
Speaker 3: radical ideology that they that they may want. I mean,
Speaker 3: you see it on Facebook, you see it on social media,
Speaker 3: some of the crazy stuff that is floating around out there,
Speaker 3: and it's it's it's just something that you know, the
Speaker 3: old saying that they only have to be right once,
Speaker 3: where we've got to be right one hundred percent of
Speaker 3: the time is absolutely true. We can do the best
Speaker 3: we can. We can try to cover every base, and
Speaker 3: as soon as we cover every base, they find a whole.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's just a fact of life. It's
Speaker 3: a it's a constant game of cat and mouse.
Speaker 1: But DW is allowing thousands upon thousands of military age
Speaker 1: males across the border into our country from China and
Speaker 1: Iran and other known terrorist countries. Is that doing the
Speaker 1: best we can is you know, the FBI or the
Speaker 1: Secret Service saying that it's someone else's responsibility to secure
Speaker 1: a building that's one hundred and thirty yards away with
Speaker 1: a direct line of sight to you know, a former
Speaker 1: president of the United States?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: You know? Is it the best we can do? When
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve in the city of New Orleans
Speaker 1: that where there's going to be we know there's going
Speaker 1: to be thousands of people out on the streets that
Speaker 1: we can't put up barricades because the police chief didn't
Speaker 1: know that we had him. That's the best we can do.
Speaker 3: Now, everything you just said is absolutely correct, Okay. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm not defending this current administration, not at all, because
Speaker 3: they have they have indeed dropped the ball. And I
Speaker 3: believe that what they have done with Joe Biden and
Speaker 3: his administration has done on the Southwest border is criminal.
Speaker 3: And I think I hope to hell that when when
Speaker 3: President Trump gets into office, that he takes a very
Speaker 3: hard look at the steps that were taken the lies
Speaker 3: that were said by DHS Secretary of mariorcis how many
Speaker 3: times did he stand up before the American people say, oh,
Speaker 3: the border secure. I mean he was lying to Congress
Speaker 3: when he said that, he was lying to the American people.
Speaker 3: Coarine Jean Pierre was lying to the American people every day.
Speaker 3: So I hope there is someone acountability. I don't know
Speaker 3: that there will be, but I sure tell hope there is.
Speaker 1: And then what you just talked about right there, the
Speaker 1: way that we were talked to by people like Carine
Speaker 1: John Pierre, and people like may Orcus and people like
Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States and Chucks Chumer,
Speaker 1: and the list goes on and on and on talking
Speaker 1: about how the border is secure, how Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: fit to be president, and all this other stuff, and
Speaker 1: none of it gets challenged in a meaningful way by
Speaker 1: the media in this country. And that's what your whole
Speaker 1: piece is about. How they have aided and abedded this
Speaker 1: administration to getting to the point where, I mean, thank
Speaker 1: god they're out of office in thirteen days from now.
Speaker 1: But for this fraud to have been perpetrated on the
Speaker 1: American people like this is an absolute disgrace.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I'm scared to death what the next thirteen
Speaker 3: days is going to bring. We've already seen Biden. He's
Speaker 3: going He's a bitter and spiked, full demented old man
Speaker 3: and his puppet master is going to try to do
Speaker 3: as much as he can to to obstruct the Trump
Speaker 3: agenda as he can before before Biden is out of office.
Speaker 3: And I mean, I am not not at all looking
Speaker 3: forward to the next thirteen days.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's uh, God only knows who's going to
Speaker 1: get pardon who's going to be I mean, he there
Speaker 1: was eleven Gitmo terrorists that that I guess we were
Speaker 1: sent back to uh to send back to Yemen or
Speaker 1: God knows where somewhere in the Middle East, out of
Speaker 1: out of Gitmo, in uh in Cuba. Just I guess
Speaker 1: that was yesterday or the day before. So when you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you how can you look at
Speaker 1: these terrorists who were rounded up shortly after nine to
Speaker 1: eleven held in Gitmo and then Biden decides to set
Speaker 1: them free. How can how can that possibly be? How
Speaker 1: can how can any one in good conscience look at
Speaker 1: that and say, yeah, that that's a good move for
Speaker 1: the United States.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I was all in favor of walking
Speaker 3: them down to the water's edge, pointing east towards Mecca
Speaker 3: and tell them the swim for it. I mean that
Speaker 3: was yeah, that was my uh well, that was my idea.
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean that, I mean, that's right
Speaker 1: in your wheelhouse. That's a I mean that, that's you.
Speaker 1: I mean you were there, you you you saw it,
Speaker 1: you lift it. I mean that was I mean that
Speaker 1: that that's a slap in the face, I think to
Speaker 1: someone like you and and everyone you worked with trying
Speaker 1: to protect this country in the aftermath of what happened
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is no justification for for all of the
Speaker 3: the get Moo detainees that have been released, that were
Speaker 3: many were released during Obama's years. Uh and then now
Speaker 3: what what Biden has done sending them to Oman, which
Speaker 3: you know, once they get to Oman, I mean it's
Speaker 3: probably pretty likely that they'll eventually, uh probably really quickly
Speaker 3: be released because the Omanis don't really want to deal
Speaker 3: with them either. So you know it's I tell you,
Speaker 3: sometimes I wake up in the morning and I think
Speaker 3: about everything that has transpired over the last twenty years.
Speaker 3: And I shake my head because there were mistakes made,
Speaker 3: there were egregious crimes committed, and you know, it's so
Speaker 3: much of it has been just covered up, and I
Speaker 3: mean it's you know, I wonder sometimes if we're still
Speaker 3: in the same country.
Speaker 1: In the real world, in real life situations, if when
Speaker 1: Trump takes office on the twentieth, and the individuals that
Speaker 1: he has for National Security Advisor, head of Homeland Security,
Speaker 1: head of the FBI, those sorts of important national security positions,
Speaker 1: how quickly can those people be approved, How quickly can
Speaker 1: they be put in office? And how important is it
Speaker 1: to get these people in there and not have a
Speaker 1: lot of leg time because I think traditionally we look
Speaker 1: at this as this period of transition, even though it's
Speaker 1: great to have peaceful transition and all the rest of that,
Speaker 1: but I think traditionally we look at this as this
Speaker 1: is a chance for are the enemies of the United
Speaker 1: States to sense weakness and and that's the time to
Speaker 1: make a move.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think the the Obonianists, which is what
Speaker 3: I call them, I think they're going to try to
Speaker 3: throw as many roadblocks as they can to if not
Speaker 3: outright obstruct and at least to slow down this transition
Speaker 3: and make it difficult for those that are stepping into
Speaker 3: those senior positions to to to be able to start
Speaker 3: making effective change. You know, Mike Walt, I think is
Speaker 3: an excellent choice for you know, for security advisor. I
Speaker 3: think he's going to build a strong team around him.
Speaker 3: You know, Christine no I I liked her as a
Speaker 3: you know, as a political figure, as a governor. I
Speaker 3: think she's, you know, all from all reports, she's done
Speaker 3: a pretty good job in South Dakota. I don't know
Speaker 3: how much of credential she has to to have DHS,
Speaker 3: but she's certainly is a better choice than what we've
Speaker 3: had under Mayarchus and uh and I can't think of
Speaker 3: the predecessor under under Obama. But you know, I it's
Speaker 3: important for the Republicans to quit playing games, to come
Speaker 3: together and just do it, and do it quickly. You know,
Speaker 3: have us sit down, come to Jesus, talk with Lindsey
Speaker 3: Graham and whoever else they have to and tell him, listen,
Speaker 3: we don't want you playing games anymore. We're going to
Speaker 3: vote on this and get it done and over with.
Speaker 3: And that's what you know Trump needs to do, is
Speaker 3: is just force the issue, because otherwise Republicans will turn
Speaker 3: around and screw it up again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's that's pretty much a part and
Speaker 1: parcel of what Republicans do. I mean, they have no
Speaker 1: idea how to wield power once once they have, or
Speaker 1: wield power in a meaningful way that is going to
Speaker 1: make a difference for the American people. Pete hag Seth
Speaker 1: at Department of Defense, I think that's a great choice.
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll have to see what happens. But
Speaker 1: d w A you are are I know, you're very
Speaker 1: concerned about the possibility for terrorist activity in the United States,
Speaker 1: I guess. And once January twentieth comes and Trump has
Speaker 1: sworn into office, it really doesn't stop there. So if
Speaker 1: you were talking to the average person what you are
Speaker 1: right now over seven hundred WLW what what what kind
Speaker 1: of pieces of advice can you give the average American
Speaker 1: to make sure they're doing everything they can to protect
Speaker 1: themselves and protect their family and their property, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean I've given a lot of presentations on terrorism,
Speaker 3: terrorism and situational awareness around the country. In fact, I've
Speaker 3: done them overseas, you know, And one of the things
Speaker 3: that I tell people is It sounds cliche, but if
Speaker 3: you see something, say something is definitely accurate. But the
Speaker 3: other thing that you need to do is people need
Speaker 3: to start developing their own sense of safety when they're
Speaker 3: out and about. They need to have their heads on
Speaker 3: the swivel. They need to be watching around what's going
Speaker 3: on instead of looking at their phone or you know.
Speaker 3: In one of my presentations, I challenge people and I says,
Speaker 3: you know, next time you go to a a a
Speaker 3: grocery store, or a shopping mall or whatever. I said,
Speaker 3: before you get out of your car, just sit there
Speaker 3: for a few minutes and watch the exit and count
Speaker 3: how many particularly young ladies are walking out with their
Speaker 3: phone in their hand, and they're looking at their phone
Speaker 3: as they're walking. They're not paying any attention to what's
Speaker 3: going on out in the parking lot around where their
Speaker 3: cars parked. You know what, what might be coming down
Speaker 3: the street at them. So I tell people, you know,
Speaker 3: count them, and I guarantee you you'll have a large
Speaker 3: number who just simply are not paying attention to what's
Speaker 3: going on around them. We've got other major events coming
Speaker 3: up soon. You've gotta have Marty Grass, You've got Saint
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day parades all over the country with the size
Speaker 3: of the streets lined up with people who are looking
Speaker 3: to you know, to uh enjoy the parade. In that
Speaker 3: people need to start really paying attention to what's going
Speaker 3: on around them, and and if they see something that
Speaker 3: looks suspicious, hey, put the onus on the cops. Send
Speaker 3: the cops to go check it out. It turns out
Speaker 3: to be something innocent, fine, let the Let the innocent
Speaker 3: citizen raise hell with the police for bugging him, you know,
Speaker 3: but at least you've done something. You've been responsible, and
Speaker 3: you've done something to hopefully help, you know, protect yourself
Speaker 3: and all of us, you know, from you know, from
Speaker 3: another situation like after the New Orleans.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Dell Wilburt, with that, we got to
Speaker 1: let you go. It's amazing how fast the time goes
Speaker 1: whenever you're on. But keep your eyes peeled, brother, and
Speaker 1: keep sending me those updates. I appreciate it all the time,
Speaker 1: and we'll have you on again before too long. But
Speaker 1: Dell Wilbur, thanks for everything. Happy New Year to you,
Speaker 1: and we will definitely talk on down the road.
Speaker 2: Thanks you all, take care all right, there you.
Speaker 1: Go, d w Wilbur. His book is called In the
Speaker 1: Shadow of the Swords Bagdad Police Academy. You can also
Speaker 1: find him at town hall dot com. It is one
Speaker 1: twenty six Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW al right back on the Big One, seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW one thirty nine Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham
Speaker 1: segment taking a day off from the Stude report, So
Speaker 1: phone lines are open five one, three, seven four nine
Speaker 1: the Big One. Cunningham is attending ceremonies in honor of
Speaker 1: Joseph T. Dieters, Supreme Court Justice. He's up up in
Speaker 1: Columbus today and that event starts to two o'clock. We
Speaker 1: are going to attempt to have maybe some sound from
Speaker 1: that event coming up in about an hour from now,
Speaker 1: so we will see what happens. But in between then
Speaker 1: things to talk about. And one is and I was
Speaker 1: just really the last couple of guests I had on
Speaker 1: or actually the first, the first and the last I
Speaker 1: had on. I'm talking about the the incompetence of this administration.
Speaker 1: And that is one thing that I've talked about an
Speaker 1: awful lot behind this microphone, and other people are talking
Speaker 1: about it too. In The Federalist, a great piece by
Speaker 1: Brianna Lyman who talks about the FBI and how they
Speaker 1: decided to persecute rather than hunt down real terrorists. And
Speaker 1: you wonder why things like this happen, and I think
Speaker 1: too often the answer is that instead of looking at
Speaker 1: people who really cause it damage, they want to find
Speaker 1: a boogeyman. They want to find a political scalp. They
Speaker 1: want to find someone that they can hold up and say, see, see, see, look,
Speaker 1: we were right. We were right about those military members
Speaker 1: who are white supremacists, you know, or right about these
Speaker 1: these dangerous white guys, and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: So Brianna Lyman writes that the tragedy in New Orleans
Speaker 1: may have been avoided if the FBI spent less time
Speaker 1: targeting parents, Catholics, and countless other dissidents instead of focusing
Speaker 1: his resources on capturing or catching actual terrorists. Shamsu Din
Speaker 1: Jabbar plowed through a crowd in his four f one
Speaker 1: to fifty lightning EV truck draped with an ISIS flag
Speaker 1: before shooting a police who fatally shot him. Unfortunately, under
Speaker 1: the leadership of then FBI director, the FBI was too
Speaker 1: busy doing things like helping to orchestrate a kidnapping plot
Speaker 1: targeting Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Witchman or Whitmer, rather than
Speaker 1: catch a terrorists. Here's some other things that the FBI
Speaker 1: was too busy doing. Documents obtained by House Republicans revealed
Speaker 1: that multiple FBI field offices were involved in the drafting
Speaker 1: of the infamous memo that labeled Catholics as potential domestic terrorists.
Speaker 1: Elite FBI memo reveals a Richmond, Virginia field office was
Speaker 1: investigating alleged white supremacy amongst Catholics who attend Latin mass.
Speaker 1: The memo warned of radical transitional Catholics and noted possible
Speaker 1: infiltration into Catholic communities using various kinds of informants. Subsequent
Speaker 1: memos show FBI field offices in Los Angeles to Portland
Speaker 1: were also involved in targeting Catholics. How many Catholics have
Speaker 1: calls mass terrorist events in the United States? I think
Speaker 1: the answer is not many, of any at all. Jabbar
Speaker 1: recently began or reportedly began radicalizing in recent months, according
Speaker 1: to the Times, but the FBI wouldn't have caught onto
Speaker 1: that because at the same time that Jabbar was radicalizing,
Speaker 1: the FBI was signaling out Trump supporters. Report from Newsweek
Speaker 1: showed Newsreek reports to nearly two thirds of the FBI's
Speaker 1: current investigations focus on Trump supporters accused of disregarding anti
Speaker 1: riot laws. After January sixth, the FBI expanded it's anti
Speaker 1: government or anti authority violent extremist category to jumpstart investigations
Speaker 1: into Americans based on their political affiliations. Is that the
Speaker 1: kind of investigations we want from the FBI? Because you're
Speaker 1: a Republican or a conservative that you need to be investigated.
Speaker 1: Are they investigating liberal democrats the same way? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. What about school board meetings? Department of Justice
Speaker 1: issued a memo in October twenty one, according to the FBI,
Speaker 1: that labeled the activist parents at school board meetings with
Speaker 1: threat tags. The guidance came just days after the Biden
Speaker 1: White House approved a recommendation from the National School Board
Speaker 1: Association that called for counter terrorism measures to be used
Speaker 1: against parents who spoke up at school board meetings. And
Speaker 1: I've had people call this show saying that, yeah, that happened,
Speaker 1: and that happened to me. I spoke up at the
Speaker 1: school board meeting. Then a day or two later, you
Speaker 1: get a knock on the door and you start getting
Speaker 1: asked twenty questions. Look at people who were pro lifers,
Speaker 1: who were praying, doing little more than praying outside of
Speaker 1: abortion clinics. And then one of the worst is the
Speaker 1: case of Rebecca Laveryrin's seventy one years old, a grandmother
Speaker 1: recently convicted on four counts after she entered the Capitol
Speaker 1: on January sixth for roughly ten minutes. According to the
Speaker 1: official statement of facts, two FBI agents showed up in
Speaker 1: her home on April night, twenty twenty one. They returned
Speaker 1: the following week, and Lvrenz was sentenced to one year probation.
Speaker 1: So here's this woman, and the details of her story
Speaker 1: are absolutely horrible. I mean literally, all she did was
Speaker 1: walk into the Capitol at here's the timeline. Two forty four,
Speaker 1: Lovrenz climbed the stairs at the rotunda or to the rotunda.
Speaker 1: From two forty five to two forty seven, she milled
Speaker 1: about the rotunda, then briefly left the rotunda for a
Speaker 1: few minutes, returning at two fifty At two fifty one,
Speaker 1: she left the rotunda descended the same stairs that she
Speaker 1: had climbed minutes earlier, spoke briefly to US Capitol police officer,
Speaker 1: and left the building at two fifty three. Ten minutes
Speaker 1: of terror, or from the FBI perspective, it was ten
Speaker 1: minutes of pure terror and terrorism. So a few months
Speaker 1: after that, she gets a visit from the FBI and
Speaker 1: they spent all that time tracking her down. When dudes
Speaker 1: like this, who are plowing through crowds of people and
Speaker 1: killing and maiming, are free to go about being radicalized
Speaker 1: and posting stuff on their social media and planning IEDs.
Speaker 1: So we're too busy looking at grandmothers who walked around
Speaker 1: the Capitol for ten minutes and making sure that they
Speaker 1: received their dose of justice. And when I was sick
Speaker 1: to see yesterday how Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer held
Speaker 1: a phony Bologne prayer service at one of the doors
Speaker 1: where they said, oh, this is where the rioters entered,
Speaker 1: this is where our democracy was under attack. Hakim Jeffrey
Speaker 1: said it was a date that would live an infamy,
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? And then you had Sonny Hostin
Speaker 1: and all the rest of them trying to compare what
Speaker 1: happened on January sixth to Pearl Harbor, World War two,
Speaker 1: and some other horrible, horrific days in the United States.
Speaker 1: It is beyond ridiculous, and they don't mind lying about it.
Speaker 1: And people like this, the look the ones who there
Speaker 1: are people who engage with police that day, who fought
Speaker 1: hand to hand with police. And the fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is no police officers died that day. That is
Speaker 1: a stone cold fact, no matter how often Democrats in
Speaker 1: Congress want to lie about it. But people who engaged
Speaker 1: in hand to hand contact with police, should they be
Speaker 1: subject to criminal prosecution? One hundred percent, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: But how many dozens and hundreds of others simply walked
Speaker 1: through an open door, walked around the Capitol building for
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and then simply walked out. And those
Speaker 1: are the people who should be pardoned by Trump. And
Speaker 1: we hear all this crying and carpet and hand ringing
Speaker 1: that Adam Schiff says it would send the wrong message
Speaker 1: to pardon people like that. Let's go to Kyle in Springfield,
Speaker 1: and we got Ton in Columbus, and we'll take some
Speaker 1: other phone calls five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand,
Speaker 1: one eight hundred. The big one and Kyle and Springfield,
Speaker 1: how are you today? You want seven hundred double?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm fine. I'll just go ahead and start out.
Speaker 6: Ever since July fourteenth, I believe that was the day
Speaker 6: when they tried to kill him the first time, I've
Speaker 6: been getting ready for some kind of event. Because do
Speaker 6: you think these people that have been on these unelected
Speaker 6: bureaucrats and these unelected factions that are really calling the
Speaker 6: shots in this country are going to go down quietly
Speaker 6: and let Trump implement his agenda. I think I think
Speaker 6: we have a whole nother thing coming and they're not.
Speaker 6: They won't be afraid to take this whole country down
Speaker 6: with it.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: And Kyle, I certainly hope you're wrong about that. It's
Speaker 1: like my buddy d. W. Wilber was talking. He hopes
Speaker 1: that that he is wrong, but he is there are
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, the guy's pretty good at reading
Speaker 1: the tea leaves and talking about what may be on
Speaker 1: the way. And I think he had some good advice
Speaker 1: for individuals about keeping your head on a swivel. You
Speaker 1: got to you got to have a certain amount of
Speaker 1: situational awareness. You've got to be ready to uh to
Speaker 1: take steps to protect yourself and your family and your property.
Speaker 1: You got to be ready for that sort of thing. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going to sit here and say
Speaker 1: that that's something. You know, World War three is going
Speaker 1: to start in our backyard, and I hope that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: But the possibility that that there are people out there
Speaker 1: who want to try and and and do some harm
Speaker 1: and make a big splash nationally, I think that's a
Speaker 1: possibility that we have to look at.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I mean there's some kind of emergency going
Speaker 6: on before Trump takes office. Who knows how long they
Speaker 6: could keep the emergency going, know, some kind of grain
Speaker 6: great down event. That's what I'm really preparing for. As
Speaker 6: a loss of electricity, especially at a time like this,
Speaker 6: would be kind of stroussic.
Speaker 1: That would be, especially as cold as it's getting now
Speaker 1: around here. Kyle. I appreciate the phone call. Thank you.
Speaker 1: All Right, there you go, Kyle in Springfield. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and talk to Todd. Todd seven hundred ww Hey, Well,
Speaker 1: how's it going all right? Todd? What's up?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 8: I was in New Orleans for the All State Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 8: My son bought me and had'm a ticket for Christmas
Speaker 8: to go see the Irish win, all right, and so
Speaker 8: we were there before the parade and I just noticed
Speaker 8: I happen to notice how thought the security measures were
Speaker 8: around the parade itself.
Speaker 2: And luckily, I.
Speaker 8: Mean, it's still a horrible event, obviously.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 8: If that would have happened during the Rose Bowl parade,
Speaker 8: what the terrorists did, would have been hundreds that would
Speaker 8: have been killed, including kids. There was kids all over
Speaker 8: the place, thought of football is out in the road
Speaker 8: and so forth. So I don't know what what the
Speaker 8: what the answer is for for people to wake up
Speaker 8: and to realize who they're voting for.
Speaker 2: That it really matters.
Speaker 8: And the mayor was booed mercifully mercusless at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what you mean the you mean the
Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. No,
Speaker 1: I have Look, I don't know anything about that mayor
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. All I know is that when I've
Speaker 1: seen her on TV, I've not been impressed at all. Uh,
Speaker 1: certainly not impressed with the it's not the it's not
Speaker 1: the you know, the woman that's in charge of police
Speaker 1: what do they call the superintendent or whatever her title is.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean that that is the She is
Speaker 1: the very definition of DEI and falling upwards and getting
Speaker 1: promoted with absolutely for absolutely no good reason other than
Speaker 1: she's she's a woman. I mean all this is the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that ultra woke gets you. And I
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm still angry about this after this amount
Speaker 1: of time has passed. But I look at that and
Speaker 1: I just you know, you and I could have done
Speaker 1: a better job of securing that area than what the
Speaker 1: police there did, and the FBI contributed to it. In
Speaker 1: New Orleans on New Year's.
Speaker 8: Eve, it was obvious easy easy access points.
Speaker 1: There was no.
Speaker 8: Police officers guardian the street canal, and all there was
Speaker 8: were those plastic barrier looking thing. Nothing was protected.
Speaker 1: Plastic A plastic barrier, that's what you saw.
Speaker 9: Plastic barriers like one of those plastic sawhorse things. Correct, Yeah,
Speaker 9: the like they gotta be kidding, A Yeah, that's gonna
Speaker 9: stop someone hell bent on driving a vehicle into that.
Speaker 9: Just you know, we we we do a great job
Speaker 9: of it here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 8: And I looked at eleven in City eleven, and they
Speaker 8: do all those little events out there, and they have
Speaker 8: not only the concrete barriers, but they got the big
Speaker 8: old snowploud trucks out there just stopping anything that would
Speaker 8: come down the road. And you meaning tell me New Orleans,
Speaker 8: of all places and one of the biggest, most populated areas,
Speaker 8: the most populated events couldn't figure that out on their own.
Speaker 1: Well if apparently that's what happened, And then Adam Schiff
Speaker 1: has got the got the nerve to go on national
Speaker 1: television and say this is, you know, an event like
Speaker 1: what happened in New Orleans is the reason that Cash
Speaker 1: Bettel cannot be approved to be the head of the FBI.
Speaker 1: What what? What the hell?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: What kind of crack is that? Guys smoking? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how you connect those
Speaker 1: dots like that, but I mean, could I could not
Speaker 1: imagine ever going into a voting booth and seeing Adam
Speaker 1: Shift's name on a on a ballot and deciding the
Speaker 1: color in that block and vote for someone like Adam Shift.
Speaker 1: I just could. I don't know how people do it.
Speaker 1: You're right, all right, Todd. I appreciate the call. We
Speaker 1: got to run, brother, We got news coming up here
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour, and uh, we got
Speaker 1: Bill and Jeff. Hang on you guys, we'll get to
Speaker 1: your phone calls and if you want to do that.
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred
Speaker 1: the Big One. As we roll on till three o'clock
Speaker 1: this afternoon, Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW mean back on the Big One, seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll and for Bill Cunningham. Matt Reees just handed
Speaker 1: me the very latest update forecast. Let's each flurries today,
Speaker 1: this afternoon, flurries tonight partly stunning, twenty three, windschill, tomorrow
Speaker 1: minus one, and then tomorrow night partly cloudy, windchill minus seven.
Speaker 1: It's it's January, so here comes the here comes the windchill,
Speaker 1: and man, that is that is not going to be good.
Speaker 1: How many anchor babies do you think are born in
Speaker 1: the United States every day? According to new analysis from
Speaker 1: Bite Breitbart, there are roughly four hundred thousand anchor babies
Speaker 1: born in the US in twenty twenty four. That comes
Speaker 1: out to eleven hundred anchor babies every day, one thousand,
Speaker 1: one hundred anchor babies born every day, four hundred thousand
Speaker 1: anchor babies. That's four hundred berths paid for by taxpayers.
Speaker 1: Median calls to childbirth and postnatal care about seventeen grand.
Speaker 1: That is six point eight billion dollars a year just
Speaker 1: on the berths alone, not to mention anything else, any other,
Speaker 1: any other spending that goes along with babies being birthed
Speaker 1: eleven hundred a day. That number is absolutely staggering, and
Speaker 1: it's my way of thinking, something's got to be done
Speaker 1: about that. Let's go to billan Harrison. He's been hanging
Speaker 1: on for a while. And then we got Jeff and
Speaker 1: Zena and Mike in Spring Valley and Bill and Harrison
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. How's it going.
Speaker 7: It's going well, just cold and snowy.
Speaker 1: Gotta love it.
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 7: I'm too old for the stuff.
Speaker 1: You don't sound that old.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's not how old you are, it's how old
Speaker 7: you feel. Just a number one. I would give Jedi
Speaker 7: master Yoda a run for his money today. Anyway. Your
Speaker 7: first segment about George Soros, Nazi collaborator, business guy, etc.
Speaker 2: And so on.
Speaker 7: He did an interview once saying how he hated the
Speaker 7: United States generally, probably because we put help put the
Speaker 7: kybosh on his goose step and buddies and canceled his
Speaker 7: first little gig how he made money. And I think
Speaker 7: you what he's trying to do is to set up
Speaker 7: what Alexis Datokil talked about in his essay on Democracy
Speaker 7: in America, where the right wing would come and have
Speaker 7: to put down the left in a substantial way. Jaytokil
Speaker 7: said that America really will never have to worry about
Speaker 7: an attack by the left, but it would have to
Speaker 7: worry about the taranny of the majority from the right.
Speaker 7: And Soros, I think is trying has been trying to
Speaker 7: egg it on for as long as he's been involved
Speaker 7: in all of his underhanded politics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, the guy's got, he's got,
Speaker 1: He's obvious. I have no idea how many billions this
Speaker 1: guy has. And it's probably it's probably my fault because
Speaker 1: I've not spent a ton of time following George Soros
Speaker 1: or reading about I mean, I know that I know
Speaker 1: that he's out there. I know that he spends money
Speaker 1: on all these left wing causes, a lot of the
Speaker 1: a lot of the the activities of the pro Hamas crowd.
Speaker 1: After the attack on Israel on these college campuses, was
Speaker 1: supported by him, paid for by him, all these sorts
Speaker 1: of activities that he sponsors. So I've not spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time thinking about this guy. But I mean
Speaker 1: for the President of the United States to bring him
Speaker 1: in and give him the what is that the Presidential
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award you can get,
Speaker 1: I mean, really is It's a disgrace. It's a slap
Speaker 1: of the face to all God, fear and Americans, I think,
Speaker 1: and it really cheapens to Like my guest said, really,
Speaker 1: what that what that award is supposed to be all about?
Speaker 7: Well, you said you had it right when you said
Speaker 7: it first. Basically, he's giving the middle finger to everybody
Speaker 7: in America. That's that's a decent human.
Speaker 1: Being, Joe Biden is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, when you make your truck with a bunch of
Speaker 7: people who were ruthless, brutal murderers, killed like ten million,
Speaker 7: exterminated ten million people simply because of their faith, or
Speaker 7: because that they didn't bow down to the to their
Speaker 7: Nazi masters, or in everything else that they did. And
Speaker 7: you know that goes to show you the quality of
Speaker 7: his character, which he has done.
Speaker 1: Well, did you did you hear what he said to
Speaker 1: the reporters yesterday or I guess it was the day
Speaker 1: of the day before yesterday when he talked about Sean McMahon.
Speaker 1: Do we have cut number one ready to go? Okay
Speaker 1: that this has been at a little bit, But here's
Speaker 1: Joe Biden talking to reporters at the White House the
Speaker 1: other day. Play that cut number one might being the
Speaker 1: oldest president.
Speaker 5: I know more world leaders than any one of you
Speaker 5: ever met.
Speaker 1: In your whole Yeah. So the part we had to
Speaker 1: bleep out there with Joe Piden saying your whole gd life.
Speaker 1: So this is the way I mean this guy has
Speaker 1: he and I've said it before, he's not a good person.
Speaker 1: He's not a nice guy. He's always been a big
Speaker 1: time liar and a big time play drift and the
Speaker 1: guy's a flat out jerk. And we see it demonstrated
Speaker 1: time and time and time again. Who becomes president of
Speaker 1: the United States and decides that it's a good idea
Speaker 1: to release eleven ye many terrorists from Guantanamo Bay and
Speaker 1: then send them back to the Middle East and omark
Speaker 1: who thinks that's a good idea? Well, Joe Biden thinks
Speaker 1: that's A good idea.
Speaker 7: Of question is how much did he and his family
Speaker 7: get paid to do it? Like everything else, like the
Speaker 7: sealing off of the oil exploration thing in the Gulf
Speaker 7: of Mexico, selling half of our strategic law reserve to China.
Speaker 1: You know those those oil reserves still haven't been replenished yet.
Speaker 7: No, they haven't.
Speaker 2: We could.
Speaker 7: We could easily be running into trouble with a quarter
Speaker 7: tank of gas to get us there.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 7: And it's going to take at least six to eight
Speaker 7: months to get the all the damage they've done to
Speaker 7: our energy infrastructure back on the road to being corrected.
Speaker 7: It's going to take a long time for us to
Speaker 7: replenish all of our munitions that they sold, probably for
Speaker 7: bribes to Ukraine under the guise of protecting democracy. As
Speaker 7: they say, Uh, yeah, they they've pretty much done everything
Speaker 7: they can physically do to put the United States behind
Speaker 7: the eight.
Speaker 2: Ball, so to speak.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And the sad thing is they are actually where you
Speaker 7: see people out there that think you doing a good job.
Speaker 1: Well, no one around know, one that I know around
Speaker 1: here thinks he's doing a good job. But Bill, I appreciate,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you looking at things, and I appreciate listening,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the phone call. Brother.
Speaker 7: Have a blessed afternoon man.
Speaker 1: Thank you Bill and Harrison. Good stuff there. And here's
Speaker 1: a letter from Tim Burchett, who was a member of Congress.
Speaker 1: And here's the letter that he wrote to the President
Speaker 1: of the United States just a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1: He writes this, He wrote this to Donald Trump, Congratulations
Speaker 1: on your decisive victory. November fifth, twenty twenty four. East
Speaker 1: Tennesseeans cannot wait to have strong leadership in the White House.
Speaker 1: I write to express my strong concern with foreign aid
Speaker 1: being funneled to the Taliban and my desire to work
Speaker 1: with your administration to stop tax dollars from going to terrorists.
Speaker 1: During the one hundred eighteen Congress, it was brought to
Speaker 1: my attention the United States Department under the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: or the I should say the United States State Department
Speaker 1: under the Biden administration, was funneling money to the Taliban.
Speaker 1: In fact, when I questioned Secretary Anthony Blinkin about this,
Speaker 1: he admitted that non governmental organizations, those infamous NGOs, paid
Speaker 1: nearly ten million of foreign aid to the Taliban in taxes.
Speaker 1: The larger issue which blancoln failed to acknowledge is the
Speaker 1: shipments of cash payments in the United States and United
Speaker 1: States dollars to Afghanistan Central Bank. These cash shipments are
Speaker 1: auctioned off and they are nearly impossible to track. This
Speaker 1: is how the Taliban is being funded and plans to
Speaker 1: fund terrorism around the world. In twenty twenty three, I
Speaker 1: introduced a bill, says Tim Burchett of Tennessee. I introduced
Speaker 1: a bill requiring the State Department to discourage foreign countries
Speaker 1: from providing financial or material support to the Taliban and
Speaker 1: to report on direct cash assistance programs to Taliban influence
Speaker 1: over Afghanistan Central Bank. My bill passed the House of
Speaker 1: Representatives unanimously. Unfortunately, then Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refused to
Speaker 1: bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate,
Speaker 1: and he's saying that he hopes this can get done
Speaker 1: in the one hundred and nineteenth Congress. So there is
Speaker 1: Tim Burchett of Congress writing the Donald Trump talking about
Speaker 1: ten million dollars that have gone through these different non
Speaker 1: governmental organizations and then into the pockets of the Taliban,
Speaker 1: and those are direct payments to terrorist organizations from this
Speaker 1: administration and Democrats want to suggest to you that now
Speaker 1: we don't need to investigate these kind of things. You
Speaker 1: know that we need to move forward and not by
Speaker 1: the looking at this kind of stuff. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Xenia and say hey to Jeff. Then we got Mike
Speaker 1: and spring Valley Jeff seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: DAN fantastic show.
Speaker 6: So that I just wish you were on here more consistently.
Speaker 6: As far as mister Schiff is concerned, you have three
Speaker 6: words for him, Russia, Russia, Russia. That man has no
Speaker 6: credibility whatsoever. And how the people of California elected him
Speaker 6: to become a senator just cruised to you that California
Speaker 6: has absolutely lost any credibility or any common sense period.
Speaker 1: California is messed up. I mean, California is, you know,
Speaker 1: the home of Gavin Newsom, who in a couple of
Speaker 1: years is going to be talked about as one of
Speaker 1: the top contenders to be the next president of the
Speaker 1: United States, and it already is.
Speaker 6: He was running he was running shadow from under Joe anyways,
Speaker 6: and you know, from listening to a couple of people,
Speaker 6: I mean, there is so much word trouble in this country,
Speaker 6: big trouble in this country, and you were talking about
Speaker 6: you know, the Taliban and everybody else.
Speaker 1: The people.
Speaker 6: The next problem that we have in this country are
Speaker 6: the people who are already here and it's just a
Speaker 6: matter of time until they get their act together and
Speaker 6: what they're going to do, and they will be coming
Speaker 6: through the southern border. Well, I mean, they're already here,
Speaker 6: and we know that because you know, when it happens,
Speaker 6: we're going to say, oh, yeah, that guy came through
Speaker 6: back in twenty twenty two. It's amazing how we have
Speaker 6: all this information on these different individuals about when they
Speaker 6: came through and what they've been up to and what
Speaker 6: their timelines are and all the rest of it, and
Speaker 6: yet we refuse to address this in a serious way
Speaker 6: and take action to keep that from happening. And how
Speaker 6: long have we been lied to about this from the
Speaker 6: national media and from Allahandra Mayorcus to Caringe on Pierre
Speaker 6: to Vice President Kamala Harris about all this. You know,
Speaker 6: the border is secure, and you know we're doing everything
Speaker 6: we can and all the way, and what a bunch
Speaker 6: of crap it is. I'm hoping that this that, you know,
Speaker 6: after January twentieth, then I'm not talking about this kind
Speaker 6: of stuff anymore. I'm just hoping I'm not well, I hope.
Speaker 1: So not too.
Speaker 6: But but you know as well as I do, it'll
Speaker 6: probably be three, probably three or four years bout time
Speaker 6: that Trump's leaving office and hopefully JD. Vance is getting
Speaker 6: ready to take over, that there's gonna be a book
Speaker 6: written about Biden about how the protection, how everything was done.
Speaker 6: That somebody is going to finally give up the ghost
Speaker 6: on that guy, and he probably won't be around anymore anyway,
Speaker 6: so he won't have to worry about it. But I
Speaker 6: think that that's got to come forward because the fact
Speaker 6: that they covered up for him for four years is
Speaker 6: just absolutely absolutely testable to put that shoe on the
Speaker 6: other foot. And how many times do you think Trump
Speaker 6: would have been impeached by now if he would have
Speaker 6: been there in the same position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Trump would have done the same things, I
Speaker 1: couldn't agree with you more. And you know, it's just
Speaker 1: amazing how you know some things that are okay under
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. You know, when it comes to having
Speaker 1: your picture taken with Chinese business partners of your son,
Speaker 1: who you said you never dealt with before. When it
Speaker 1: comes to having all these LLCs when it comes to
Speaker 1: what about why has no one ever looked at all
Speaker 1: the fake names, all the pseudonyms that Joe Biden had
Speaker 1: as Vice President of the United States, all these fake
Speaker 1: email accounts, all these phony names, all these emails going
Speaker 1: out as vice president of the United States. Are you
Speaker 1: telling me that none of this was documented, None of
Speaker 1: this stuff is archived. It's fine and dandy. And look
Speaker 1: if the Trump administration engages the same sort of thing
Speaker 1: that I will be here behind this microphone calling that
Speaker 1: out just as I do in this administration exactly.
Speaker 6: And the other thing is too about Hunter, you know,
Speaker 6: just because he got an amnesty past or whatever whatever,
Speaker 6: you know, you want to look at them that way.
Speaker 6: There's no reason why that all that information that was
Speaker 6: garnered by all these people is not put out in
Speaker 6: the press because there's nothing stopping it. That it's basically
Speaker 6: they this is absolute proof that's put out. Just because
Speaker 6: he has basically been giving a free path doesn't mean
Speaker 6: it never happened. Well, and why they don't put that
Speaker 6: out I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, Jeff, I certainly appreciate the phone calling.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Great, great job, Dan, great, Jeff, happy
Speaker 1: to know you're tell you Yeah. I mean, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is an absolute jerk, just an absolute jerk, and he's
Speaker 1: not really changing any minds on his way out the door. Let's, uh,
Speaker 1: let me see, you know what. I really don't have
Speaker 1: enough time here to be fair with a with another caller.
Speaker 1: But here's just some of the things. I was reading
Speaker 1: this article in the Federalist about some of the things
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden has done, and he they talk about
Speaker 1: this eighty two year old guy, and you know, the
Speaker 1: cognitive decline and how some of his behavior can be
Speaker 1: chalked up to that. But they talk about Biden his
Speaker 1: first presidential campaign in nineteen eighty eight, he told a
Speaker 1: voter who asked him about his educational background, he said,
Speaker 1: I think I probably have a much higher IQ than
Speaker 1: you do. And it turns out that Joe Biden lied
Speaker 1: about that as well, lied about where he graduated in
Speaker 1: his class in law school, lied about his IQ, lied
Speaker 1: about it, just lied about area a well known and
Speaker 1: documented liar and plagiarist, and none of that was brought
Speaker 1: up during the twenty twenty campaign. Those things, they were
Speaker 1: true then, and they are true now and this is
Speaker 1: when you know, this is where the national media can
Speaker 1: can make a big difference in these sort of things
Speaker 1: by pointing this kind of stuff out and not that
Speaker 1: it's got to be advocacy on one side of the other,
Speaker 1: but simply getting the truth out there. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people who voted for Biden who I guarantee
Speaker 1: you do not know, and I have no idea of
Speaker 1: what this guy did or said when it comes to
Speaker 1: any of this stuff. Now, we got to get to
Speaker 1: a break, but Mike from Spring Valley is on hold.
Speaker 1: When we will get that call in here as soon
Speaker 1: as we get a chance to on the other side
Speaker 1: of the break, news coming up at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the hour, and we will take your phone calls up
Speaker 1: until three o'clock this afternoon. Then it'll be Eddie and Rocky.
Speaker 1: So we're looking forward to that. Five three seven, the
Speaker 1: Big One, Dan Carroll Ford, Bill Cunningham on seven hundred
Speaker 1: w ULW back on the Big One, seven hundred WW
Speaker 1: cold as ice is going to be colder than ice
Speaker 1: starting tonight. Chance the flurries tonight, the overnight low eight
Speaker 1: tomorrow partly sunny. H I have only twenty three then
Speaker 1: winds chill minus seven heading in Wednesday night into Thursday.
Speaker 1: Thursday night, the overnight low is going to be one
Speaker 1: degree one one one single degree. So wintertime is here.
Speaker 1: Addie and Rockey coming up at three o'clock. I'm Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll and for Bill Cunningham. Five to one, three seven, four, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the big one. Bill Dennison has taking the
Speaker 1: Stoog's report off today. But Bill Cunningham was in Columbus
Speaker 1: today for the swearing in of Joe Dieters. And when
Speaker 1: they have those ceremonies they call them the investiture, the
Speaker 1: investiture of Joseph T. Deaters. And Bill Cunningham was there today,
Speaker 1: and had we done the Stude report, I was hoping
Speaker 1: to take a little clip of what Bill Cunningham had
Speaker 1: to say as it regards Joe Dieters and use that
Speaker 1: leading into the Stooge report. But we do, Sean, do
Speaker 1: we have that clip ready of Joe Deeters being sworn
Speaker 1: in and Bill Cunningham speaking at that event today, Let's
Speaker 1: hear a little bit of that from Columbus.
Speaker 10: Here we go, so election returns come in. I'm talking
Speaker 10: to Joe two or three times. I had a bet
Speaker 10: with him. I think he lost one of the bets,
Speaker 10: and I said, I bet Megan Shanahan will beat you
Speaker 10: in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: He said, there's no way, there's.
Speaker 10: No way that Shanahan and Hawkins are going to beat
Speaker 10: me in the state of Ohio. Dan, And so the
Speaker 10: results come in and guess what I won my bet?
Speaker 10: They both beat Joe Dieters in the state of Ohio. However,
Speaker 10: the retort, this is why he is such a great guy.
Speaker 10: The retort was, look, those who know me best made
Speaker 10: me number one. I said, what do you mean, Hamlin
Speaker 10: a county voted for me over Shanahan and and Ober Hawkins,
Speaker 10: so I was number one at Hamlin account. I said, well,
Speaker 10: the actually, there's eighty eight counties in Ohio. There's not one.
Speaker 10: So I'm looking forward and paying off my bet.
Speaker 1: So there you go. There's Cunningham having a little fun
Speaker 1: up at the Supreme Court today for the investiture of
Speaker 1: Joe Eaters, and Cunningham will be back tomorrow. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he'll be talking all about it. So, uh, you got
Speaker 1: a little preview of what he may be talking about tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So Sean makes sure you save those sound bites for
Speaker 1: the Stooge Report tomorrow. Let's get back to the phones.
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight
Speaker 1: hundred the Big One and Mike and Spring Valley's been
Speaker 1: hanging on for a while and Mike seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: How's it going.
Speaker 11: It's going pretty good, Dan Ed, I will enjoy your
Speaker 11: show man, And I don't, Carol, I got to hang out.
Speaker 11: I just got I'm pretty much black at back.
Speaker 2: Whise why call space paid?
Speaker 3: And Ace and Ace?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we live, we live in a world
Speaker 1: where that sort of thing is frowned upon these days.
Speaker 1: You know, we we we can't tell the truth about anything.
Speaker 1: We have to pretend that a boy can become a
Speaker 1: girl and a girl can become a boy, and and
Speaker 1: we you know, we have to pretend that there's racism
Speaker 1: around every corner. So that's you know that, you know,
Speaker 1: speaking the truth is something that's sort of frowned upon.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, that's what I like about Trump.
Speaker 11: You know, he's uh he says that he has a
Speaker 11: pretty well wouldn't it, but uh he says he speaks truth,
Speaker 11: you know, And what happened in uh New Orleans. Come on,
Speaker 11: chief the police, let's get serious, man, the chief of police.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just I can't see her running that town.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I was in New Orleans two years ago in that town.
Speaker 2: I love the town. But it's a train wreck, it
Speaker 2: really is.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what I found interesting though.
Speaker 1: You've got you've got the mayor there, who seems pretty clueless.
Speaker 1: You've got that police. They don't call her the chief,
Speaker 1: she's I don't think it's super intended, but anyway, she's
Speaker 1: the head of the police there. And and and she
Speaker 1: comes out and says that, oh, we've got these barriers,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know that we had them. And then
Speaker 1: and then when they get deployed, they get deployed incorrectly.
Speaker 1: So I mean, she she's a complete joke. Came from
Speaker 1: the city of Oakland, where she was, she was fired
Speaker 1: in Oakland and wound up in in in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: So you know, she failed upwards. So I mean, where
Speaker 1: would you rather be Oakland, California or New Orleans in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: I think I know where. I think I know where
Speaker 1: I would rather be. But and then, but here's here's
Speaker 1: the point I wanted to make on this the first day,
Speaker 1: the day that this happened. We see the briefing that's
Speaker 1: headed up by the Secret Agent in charge. Secret Agent
Speaker 1: in Charge Nosering comes out there and talks about how
Speaker 1: this is not a U you know, this is not
Speaker 1: a terrorist event. Uh So when when this so when
Speaker 1: things get serious? Uh d e I. It's amazing how
Speaker 1: d e I and wokeness and political correctness takes a
Speaker 1: bat seat. When they had the news conference the following
Speaker 1: day putting out the facts of what they knew and
Speaker 1: what happened and all the rest of it. I didn't
Speaker 1: see Special Agent Nosering anywhere to be found, did you.
Speaker 11: I love you man hey. Obviously the big kick out
Speaker 11: of Kennedy watching him in the background. He had so
Speaker 11: much he wanted to say, but he couldn't say it
Speaker 11: for some reason.
Speaker 2: But I really he has loved his mind. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, who's that who you're talking about?
Speaker 3: Kennedy?
Speaker 1: The Oh yeah, I probably you. Look, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that didn't appreciate what he had to say.
Speaker 1: But I mean, looks based on the recent history of
Speaker 1: the FBI and other agencies within this federal government, what's
Speaker 1: he doing? He's saying, do your investigation find out what
Speaker 1: happened and tell the American people the truth. And it's
Speaker 1: a shame that we have to sit here and cheer
Speaker 1: that kind of thing on, because I mean, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff shouldn't be happening. That we have to that,
Speaker 1: you know that a senator for me, you know, from
Speaker 1: the United States Senate, has to put that admonition out
Speaker 1: there to tell these once great agencies to come clean
Speaker 1: with the American people.
Speaker 11: Well, the American people aren't stupid, Dan, they know what.
Speaker 3: The truth is.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm really feel that way now, I know
Speaker 2: what I hope.
Speaker 1: So speaking of Trump, today, he had a news conference
Speaker 1: down to mar A Lago and he said a lot
Speaker 1: of things, But Sean.
Speaker 3: Do we have that?
Speaker 1: Do we have another cut ready to go? H Here's
Speaker 1: what he said. Listen to this. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've heard this about the golf of Mexico. Trump has
Speaker 1: Trump has a brand new idea. He's already talked about
Speaker 1: the Panama Canal. He's already talked about how he wants
Speaker 1: to have the United States being charge of Greenland. Apparently
Speaker 1: he said his son there to kind of scope things out.
Speaker 1: Here's what he said today about the Golf of Mexico.
Speaker 12: Hit that we're going to be changing the name of
Speaker 12: the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which
Speaker 12: has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.
Speaker 12: The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate.
Speaker 12: It's appropriate.
Speaker 1: So what do you what do you think about that, Mike.
Speaker 11: Man, I've been there, Golf of America.
Speaker 2: I don't have problem with that.
Speaker 1: I think that would be a great thing. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. But Mike, I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Dan all right, there you go, Thank you very much, Mike,
Speaker 1: changing the Golf of Mexico to the Golf of America.
Speaker 1: Who would come up with an idea like that? Now, obviously,
Speaker 1: I think he's being a little tongue in cheek, and
Speaker 1: I think he's saying that because the the President of
Speaker 1: Mexico is trying to play a little bit of hardball
Speaker 1: with him right now. But we'll see how that works out.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, let's go to Steve and Steve seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW what I'm good Steve, Thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 13: What you got Yeah, I love talking to you. Listen Uh,
Speaker 13: that guy up there in Canada quit that the French
Speaker 13: guy in.
Speaker 1: Charge up Ye, Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 13: He went down to talk to Trump, but down at
Speaker 13: his castle and he I guess I thought things were
Speaker 13: worked out with him and he apparently they hit. I
Speaker 13: heard on the news that he quit, resigned because of
Speaker 13: high inflation and his people want him Mountain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you really care about Trudeau if
Speaker 1: he quits or not? Does that really well?
Speaker 13: Well, bother to me, he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 13: tighten up both borders, if the border in Canada and
Speaker 13: the border in Mexico.
Speaker 1: That's what sounds like to me, that's what Trump wants
Speaker 1: to do. But if just if Justin Trudeau wants to
Speaker 1: step down, I mean, really it should the United States
Speaker 1: be really all that concerned about who the who the
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Canada is?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that really anything?
Speaker 12: That?
Speaker 1: And and if if Trump wants to look, he did
Speaker 1: a trade deal with Canada once that that actually I
Speaker 1: think that it's one of the only things that the
Speaker 1: Biden administration held onto from the Trump time in office.
Speaker 1: I believe that that deal is still in effect. So
Speaker 1: if if you know, if if Trudell wants to step down,
Speaker 1: I don't. It doesn't It doesn't affect me one way.
Speaker 2: Or the other.
Speaker 13: Is he serious about buying Greenland?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's going to be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what he does when he gets in.
Speaker 13: I mean, it could happen. That's what they did with Alaska,
Speaker 13: and that's part of America. You know it could happen.
Speaker 1: Well, I know Greenland can have a lot of strategic
Speaker 1: importance for the United States. So if if he wants
Speaker 1: to Russia, isn't it uh, I wouldn't say it's right
Speaker 1: next to Russia. I think it's kind of far a well,
Speaker 1: I think it's I'd have to maybe if you get
Speaker 1: farther to the north, maybe there's.
Speaker 13: A but no, I I want to say about Mexico.
Speaker 2: I hope I help.
Speaker 13: He puts the pressure on that lady in charge to
Speaker 13: do something about the Patanyl cartels on there. Act like
Speaker 13: they're they're established, see you know, in charge, and they're
Speaker 13: just a bunch of thugs.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Well, if anyone can cut a deal that's going to
Speaker 1: get something done. I think it's on the Trumpster. But Steve,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the phone call, Steve, thank you very much
Speaker 1: and you have a great day. So there you go.
Speaker 1: We got one more SoundBite to get to. And this
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden from a day or so ago. And
Speaker 1: they've been they've been having all these different ceremonies at
Speaker 1: the White House, and he heard the one earlier where
Speaker 1: he told the reporters who asked him something about being old,
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm old, but you know, I know
Speaker 1: a lot more world leaders in you they'll ever know.
Speaker 1: And you're in your whole gd life. Hey what what?
Speaker 1: What an absolute jerk? But that's you know, that's the
Speaker 1: way he reacts to people when they when they ask
Speaker 1: him a question like that. But here he is, and
Speaker 1: I guess, I'm not sure what this particular ceremony was,
Speaker 1: and maybe I don't think this was at the the
Speaker 1: Metal of Freedom ceremony, but it doesn't matter. But there's
Speaker 1: a young guy in the audience, and I guess he
Speaker 1: finds out that the guy has a birthday. So so
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, uh, you know, being the uh, the great
Speaker 1: guy that he is, decides to call this guy up
Speaker 1: and stand at the dais with him, and Joe Biden
Speaker 1: wants to lead the crowd in the singing of Happy Birthday.
Speaker 1: So here he is Sean McMahon. That is cut number two.
Speaker 5: Happy Birthday too, Happy Birthday, Happy birthday, all right.
Speaker 1: So good for the kid there. He forgot the kid's name.
Speaker 1: He brings the kid up and says, Oh, that's your birthday,
Speaker 1: and and it's and and look, I've forgotten plenty of
Speaker 1: people's names. I mean plenty, Sean McMahon. In five years
Speaker 1: from now, I'll probably forget your name. Don't be offended.
Speaker 1: That's just that's just how I roll. I mean Bill Cunningham,
Speaker 1: that that's the one. That's the one thing that is
Speaker 1: true about Bill Cunningham. He remembers everyone. I mean, the
Speaker 1: guy's got I mean, he's got just a memory that
Speaker 1: that is unbelievable. That the few people that I know,
Speaker 1: I've got a buddy like that who remembers everyone. And
Speaker 1: and he'll see someone that he'll remember and was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember meeting you with you know, such and such
Speaker 1: an event, you know, five years ago, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: But I can't do that. But if I'm going to
Speaker 1: call a kid up on the stage and we're gonna
Speaker 1: sing Happy Birthday to him, I say, what's your name?
Speaker 1: My name is Ed. Okay Ed, let's go Happy birthday
Speaker 1: to Ed. I think I can at least remember that short,
Speaker 1: short period of time to remember someone's birthday. Next time
Speaker 1: you get in a situation like that, just slur through
Speaker 1: it and you'll be fine. McDonald's is getting rid of
Speaker 1: its DEI nonsense. They put out a statement on the
Speaker 1: corporate website that says, last year we completed a comprehensive
Speaker 1: civil rights audit that looked at all aspects of inclusion
Speaker 1: across our system. We also engage with shareholders to understand
Speaker 1: their expectations and assess the overall landscape of shareholder proposals.
Speaker 1: Following the Supreme Court ruling in whatever case of what
Speaker 1: this is, we assess the shifting legal landscape and to
Speaker 1: anticipate how the ruling may impact corporations such as McDonald's.
Speaker 1: And finally, we benchmarked our approach to the companies who
Speaker 1: are also reevaluating their own programs. I mean, that is
Speaker 1: just a bunch of PR mumbo jumbo there to say that, yeah,
Speaker 1: this DEI stuff ain't working, and so they are they
Speaker 1: are saying see you later to DEI, and that goes
Speaker 1: right along with other companies that are ditching their DEI programs. Walmart,
Speaker 1: they stop considering race and gender and supplier contracts Boeing,
Speaker 1: which disbanded its global DEI department. Maybe a little too
Speaker 1: late for Boeing, I mean they have, I mean the
Speaker 1: losses that they have suffered over the last several years,
Speaker 1: and much of it self inflicted because of the way
Speaker 1: they've gone about doing business. Absolutely horrible. But in any case,
Speaker 1: that's going to do it for me. Sean McMahon, thanks
Speaker 1: for running the board today. Great job as always turning
Speaker 1: those cuts around. Bill Cunningham I suspectedly back tomorrow as
Speaker 1: he is finished with his responsibilities. As it relates to
Speaker 1: Joe Eaters up in Columbus. Always my pleasure to sit in.
Speaker 1: IM back tomorrow night, and I get to do my
Speaker 1: regular show on Wednesday night, and that, of course is
Speaker 1: what we call the midweek Crisis Wednesday night edition. So
Speaker 1: I hope you can hang around for that until then.
Speaker 1: I have a great night and try to stay warm.
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's any more snow on the way,
Speaker 1: at least anything like we had yesterday. Eddie and Rock
Speaker 1: you're up next. You're on the Home of the Reds
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: It would suck if I was in a coma because
Speaker 6: I'd missed Mike McConnell.
Speaker 7: If you were in a coma, you probably wouldn't care
Speaker 7: about the weather and traffic, but he'd missed the news
Speaker 7: and sports and.
Speaker 1: The investment news and all those McConnell last Starting your
Speaker 1: day getting the latest word and a healthy dose of
Speaker 1: by infects is Mike mcconnald's charm makes you feel good.
Speaker 4: No coma's for me.
Speaker 1: I want McConnell, So tune in and get the goodness
Speaker 1: you deserve. Coma free is the way to be if
Speaker 1: you love Mike McConnell.
Speaker 2: Mike McConnell, Tomorrow morning, get bye on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: The music we listen to all year long, the anthems
Speaker 1: that were
