Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Indeed number one talk show in theOhio Valley. This is the bloom Daddy
Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His goal inform, entertain, and
tick people off. The bloom DaddyExperience on news radio eleven SEVENTYWVA starts now
the bloom Daddy Experience. It's sevenoh six on news radio eleven seventy.

(00:25):
Welcome back to the bloom Daddy Experience. And I'm a friendly familiar face in
Milwaukee. Sam, how are you. I'm good. I made it.
You did make it. You evenbrought me an iced coffee, which was
horrible. By the way. HeyI didn't me. I know you didn't.
But whatever Starbucks you got it from, just don't go back there.
But I appreciate the gesture. Sothoughts so far about being in Milwaukee for

(00:46):
the Republican National Convention. It's amazing. So you and I are sort of
in two different buildings. You're inMedia Road where we're sitting right now.
I have had the opportunity to gointo the convention center, the Pfizer and
I got to experience the delegates UHgiving their votes for the nominee. I
saw the Trump children come out forFlorida and throw the delegate votes for Florida.

(01:11):
So so far, the energy,the passion, the excitement, the
heat, well it's cool and off. Now, yes, yes, you
know in the seventies, but yeah, Monday was Monday was bad. Yes,
it's it's a once in a lifetimeexperience. It really is what you
thought it would be because you're kindof getting it from both angles. You're
doing the media perspective, but you'realso hanging out with delegates, so you're

(01:34):
getting to experience both sides something I'mnot getting to experience. It's it's really
interesting because you see the people inthe convention center who they are the delegates,
but then they're senators and congressman andyou know, Mitch McConnell was out
there, Mike Johnson was out there, and they're they're so close. That's
what's so weird, because you seehim on a TV screen at home on

(01:57):
Fox News and everything else, andit's like they are in person. It's
it's it's really cool. How manytimes if you sat there going, damn
it, I know that's somebody,but I can't figure out who it is
because it's happened to me thirty timesalready. You have no idea. Yes,
exactly exactly. And of course I'mhere with Eljia McCarter, all political
analysts, and she is just grabbingme, going this is such and such

(02:20):
and this is you know, andI'm going, okay, hold on,
I can't remember all these people inthese names. And yeah, it's an
adventure, the one thing. AndI knew security would be ramped up after
the Trumpet assassination attempt on Saturday,but it took me. We'll put this
a perspective for Wheeling. If youleave the Capitol Music Hall and you go

(02:40):
to the fish Market, okay,four hours think about that. Oh yeah,
I mean four hours. That's whattook us once we got in this
city to go from the Capitol MusicHall, Main Street and Wheeling to Coleman's
Fish Market four hours brutal. Yeah, that's that's rough. Now. See,
my situation is a little bit different. I am riding on a bus

(03:04):
from our hotel from an hour awayin Madison, and then I'm here all
day because the bus only comes andleaves at ten o'clock at night, so
the first thing in the morning,and so it's a long day. Yeah,
we had to go through all kindsof security checkpoints. We got rerouted
rerouted numbers of times. We camein yesterday to kind of or I'm sorry,
Sunday, to kind of get thegeneral layout. But the people we

(03:25):
were with were just downtown three hoursearlier, said, well it's changed.
They've blocked off streets that three hoursago we could go down. Now we
can't go down. So coming inhere Monday morning, I mean we thought
two hours, yeah, max fourhours, and then we went through one
security checkpoint where they make you popthe hood, pop the trunk, roll

(03:46):
down all the windows. You've gotabout five people. You didn't go through
that. Now you got about fivepeople walking around you. They're looking in
at you and everything around you.They're checking out of the radiator hose,
they're checking everything, bomb sniffing dogcoming around, and you've got everybody you
know standing around, some guys inarmy fatigues and stuff like that. I
mean, it was pretty it waspretty intense. Yeah, but you know

(04:10):
what I want that, especially afterwhat happened yes Pennsylvania. Yes, and
that happened halfway through my drive herebecause I drove the entire way, which
wasn't the adventure with the time changednine hours Oh wow, Yeah, so
it was that was an adventure.But yeah, with everything that happened over
the weekend, I'm glad to seethe Secret Service, all of the local

(04:31):
police, the national you know,they every entrance, every exit, whether
it's at the higat right next door, any building that you're walking in and
out of, they are scanning allyour belongings everything. This security is there,
Blue Daddy sitting here with Sam inMilwaukee. Now, you were at
the arena that the Milwaukee Bucks playin that the actual RNC is taking place

(04:54):
right now as we're talking. We'rein UWM Panther Arena, which is right
next door. This is the mediahu up and you could see you've got
KLGD out of Abilene, you've gotKNWN out of Seattle, you have Odyssey
Talk Radio twelve to ten WP.I mean, so you have different companies,
different stations from all over the place. We have pretty much taken up.

(05:15):
And again relating to Wheeling, thisis bigger than a Wheeling Civic Center,
Yes, but it's reminiscent of itor West Bank Arena. God,
I'm going back to Thunderbird's days westBank Arena, but it would be this
floor area is probably twice the sizeof West Banco and it's all media booths.
It's kind of cool. Yeah,I just saw former Mayor Riddy Giuliani

(05:40):
just break down. You start whata podcast together? Yeah, they're here
in person. Yeah, he walkedby me as I was doing the show
with about six massive security guards,and I didn't get a chance to yell
out to him, hey can youstop here? Yeah, probably wouldn't have
happened, but that's kind of it'scool because you're sitting here. Linda McMahon,
Vince McMahon's wife's former head of theWWF. Yeah, because she was

(06:04):
she served in Trump's cabinet small Business. I think she was the head of
small Business, the committee or whatever. She walked through. I think I
saw, I know a couple ofcongressmen doing the old ooh thing, and
I'm going I know who that Iknew, Sean Duffy from Fox News.
He was here, you know,walking by the and yeah, exact Francisco.

(06:27):
Absolutely. So you try to grabthese people when you try to get
him here, but everybody's kind ofbusy doing stuff and things like that.
So yeah, yeah, it's anadventure and we're just on day one.
Yeah, We're just on day one, so we've got your day's about done
as far as work goes. Istill got to do an afternoon show.
Oh that's right, Yeah, allright, sorry, bring me Starbucks later

(06:47):
on today. Make sure you getit from a different place. All right.
You're listening to the Blue Daddy Experienceon your Tuesday. Much more to
come here on eleven seventy WWV.A sevent eighteen on the Bloom Daddy Experience

(07:10):
with Sam and otis on news Radioeleven seventy WWVA, And it is now
time to bring in the awake buttired Sam. Good morning, yeah,
well morning. Is it really goodfor you? Whoa, it's a little

(07:32):
rough. We'll just put it thatway. I will not be taking any
pictures of myself currently for any socialmedia like I did yesterday until until I
get a little bit more mobile thismorning. There you go. Well,
the one thing is you can alwaysgo back to sleep for just a little
bit maybe at the end of theshow. That is the game plan,

(07:54):
Yes, sir, that is thegame plan. Okay, so you know
you might be able to get thatextra half hour. Now, you said
you got in at what time?Your time? It was between one and
one thirty in the morning in themorning here, Okay, is that because
you were downtown Milwaukee or is thatbecause you guys we were up and about

(08:16):
and excited about what was going onlast night. No, that was because
we are an hour away from Milwaukeeour hotel. That's how busy it is
up here in Wisconsin. So youknow, by the time everything ended at
the arena, loaded on the buses, had to drive here, got caught

(08:37):
in traffic. It made it.It was an incredibly long day, but
exciting day. So I honestly considerednot going to bed and just staying awake.
Been there, done that, andthat may happen next week for me.
So the thing is you were atyou were at the Republican National Convention

(08:58):
yesterday and it was day one.What was the atmosphere when Donald Trump entered
the building? Oh goodness, pureexcitement. It was. I saw a
few people that had tears of excitementto see him in person. But the

(09:22):
biggest one, biggest, honestly waspride. You could feel the intensity,
you could feel the pride of theRepublican Party of this is our candidate.
We stand behind him, and youknow, he sits down next to jd
Vance, the you know, announcedVP candidate alongside of him, but yeah,

(09:43):
pride, Pride would be the biggestyou know, everybody was up on
their feet, These signs were flying, the chants were happening. It was
it was, it was excitement.And I, of course, I of
course did a video of it,which is on our face book page.
Okay, and you mentioned he wasthere with JD Vance. What what's the

(10:05):
reaction from the the people there inMilwaukee with the announcement of JD Vance being
his vice presidential candidate. Okay,there's a lot of people are not shocked.
I think he was kind of thethe the assumed choice. He kind

(10:26):
of pulled away from the pack overthe weekend, would be estimated, because
there was a lot of people yesterdaymorning speculating that it was going to be
him. There's a little bit ofa mixed review if you really sit down
and have a conversation. Of course, everybody initially was excited because you want
to you want to be pay choice. Everybody was waiting for that to happen.

(10:48):
But when it comes to Vance himself, there's there's a lot of conversation
of maturity or or record times,you know, experience. That's what I
was looking for. Experience. That'sthe that's the biggest question a lot of
people up here have is you know, his lack of experience. But then

(11:11):
there's the counter to that of youknow, he's not in the swamp.
That's what people like. And alsothe youth that he brings to the voter
base. That you know, ifhe can pull in the youth vote,
which is one of the things missingfor Trump a lot of the times,

(11:31):
then that brings that voter base intothe voter base hopefully. So it's a
mixed reviews. Well, I willsay this, I was not you know,
I was questioning why jd Vance waseven in the mix to begin with.
You know, I thought Tim Scottor Byron Donald would be you know,

(11:52):
ideal. Of course, they weren'tin the last three, so,
I mean, the odds of themgetting the NOD were slim to none.
But after listening to I believe itwas Hannity. I was in my car
for work yesterday and I had Hannityon and he gave the background of jd
Vance And you know the fact thatjd Vance basically came from nothing, lived

(12:16):
with these grandparents. His mother hadhim when he was eighteen. You know,
she had some substance abuse problems.He went into the Marines, was
in the Marines for ten or twelveyears, graduated from Ohio State in two
years, graduated from Yale Law School. You know. I mean the fact
that this guy, he's an author, his book was made into a movie.

(12:39):
I mean, there's a lot ofthings that I did not know about
jd Vance that I have. Ithink that my opinion of Jdvance has changed
today after I heard his background.Yeah, he's gone, He's got a
really he's got a really interesting backstory. The other to jd Vance is,

(13:01):
you know, think about it,Ohio is a battleground state, sure,
right next doors Pennsylvania and of courseWest Virginia. Still he brings in that
Middle America vote in that in thesebattleground states, that his story can relate
to a lot of people across ourarea, specifically our tri state region,

(13:24):
and I think that has a lotto do with the decision to nominate him.
Now. Of course there's been alot of backlash on his prior comments
that he's made about Trump, butI think that could be worked in his
favor. Sure where well, Imean many people have come to Trump's side.
Sure, he disagreed with Trump whenTrump was running for president in twenty

(13:46):
sixteen, but once Trump get intogot into office, I think he respected
the decisions that President Trump made,He respected the policies that he had,
and you know, people can changetheir mind. I mean, I can
have it. Listen. I hadan opinion of somebody in high school.
We did not get along. Asour kids played baseball together, we became

(14:09):
pretty good friends, and you know, I mean it just it's one of
those things that hey, look,time changes a lot of things, and
JD. Vance has had time torealize that, hey, maybe my first
statements about this person were not thebest statements. Maybe I didn't know him

(14:30):
as well as I thought I did. Now that I've gotten to know this
person, Hey he's not a badguy. Oh that's exactly right. And
that's what a lot of these middleof the road voters, that's what we
need to happen with them. Sohaving somebody who's experienced it, who can
go out on the campaign trail andsay, listen, yes, back in

(14:54):
twenty sixteen, I had this opinion. But once I saw Trump and what
he could accomplish for this country.I'm flexible. I've changed my mind.
And that's what we need you todo too. That's the message that if
he can get across to the undecidedvoter, then he's doing his job.

(15:15):
Oh. Absolutely. And I don'tknow if you saw the Have you seen
the reaction from President Biden on namingVance Trump's frant I saw Godson, Yes,
I saw Godson, pieces of it. So I guess unity is already
out the window, is well.This was a post on x and Biden
said that Vance quote talks a biggame about working people. He went on

(15:39):
to claim Trump and Vance quote wantto raise taxes on middle class families while
pushing more tax cuts for the richunquote. And Trump named Vance as his
pick on Monday, which was obviouslythe first day of the convention. So
and I guess Kamala Harris has alreadyreached out because she wants a vice presidential
debate. Oh oh oh our debateseason. This selection cycle is wonderful.

(16:08):
I was here here you have PresidentTrump debating the tree stump, and you
have you're gonna have JD. Vance, uh basically debating WITCHI poo from hr
puffin stuff. Because all she's gonnado is cackle the whole time. That's

(16:29):
just an intellectual like beat down thatwill turn into oh my gosh. I
mean, you're gonna take Kamala Harris. You can't put a sentence together.
I mean she can, but shejust says the same thing over and over
again. She's completely nothing but wordsalad and going up against uh uh,
you know, a Ivy League lawschool graduate. So how do you think

(16:52):
that's gonna work out? Oh,it'll it'll be. It'll be an absolute
intell, actual massaco. I mean, but it's gonna be hosted by c
It's gonna be it's gonna be hostedallegedly hosted by CBS. So again another
show for the Democratic Party. Yep. But hey, hey, stick around.

(17:15):
I'm gonna put you on hold becausewe have to pay some bills.
We've got bloom Daddy coming up nextwith another interview. It is seven twenty
eight on the bloom Daddy Experience withsamon Otis on news Radio eleven seventy w
w VA. Alex del Carman,criminologist who I wanted to talk about with

(17:52):
the events regarding the attempted assassination ofDonald Trump over the weekend. Alex thanks
for coming on the show. Youstudy these individuals. What prompts a twenty
year old to get a gun,climb a building, and try to kill
a former president of the United States? Yeah, thanks for having me again.
Well, I tell you what,you know, many of us are

(18:15):
perplexed right about the fact that,first of all, that this person could
get so close to the former president, and secondly that in spite of all
the efforts that are made by securityexperts, you know, to be able
to curtail that, that this personwas able to you know, shoot at
the former president likely going to bethe future president of the United States.
And from my perspective, what Isee here is a failure on behalf of

(18:38):
law enforcement. But then at thesame time, you know, we really
don't know what we don't know aboutthis kid yet. I mean we you
know, he's one of those thatare just we have a lot of questions,
right, but we don't have answersyet. Yeah, but Alex,
a lot of people are going tofocus on the gun, A lot of
people are going to focus on differentissues. I don't think we focus oney

(19:00):
enough because we are creating these monsters. The gun is the weapon of choice,
but We've seen people get behind thewheel of a car and go through
crowds. We've seen people, youknow, the Boston Marathon bombers. How
is our society today, in youropinion, creating monsters like this twenty year
old. Yeah, I think socialmedia has been a huge component, right,

(19:22):
And part of it is because thesekids are able to get online.
Their parents don't even know what they'redoing. They're talking to people from all
over the world. They're having fantasiesabout what they want to do and who
they want to hurt, you know, based on video games, and so
there's that virtual reality that just reallyconvinces them that there is a different there's
a very thin difference between reality andthat virtual world in which they live.

(19:47):
And then the isolation, right,So a lot of these kids are isolated.
You know, this guy was aloner. Apparently he was one of
those kids that was you know,didn't have many friends in school, at
least that's how they describe him rightnow. So he does hit the profile
of the individual that is self radicalizedand goes out there and does something illegal
and quite frankly criminal. So basically, we have somebody who feels marginalized,

(20:11):
who feels invisible, and this ishis way of being somebody in his twas
right. And then that's right.And then on top of that, remember
too that you've got the social mediaaudience, right, which is, you
know, these kids don't need tohave a camera in front of them from
the local news channel talking about them. They now have the ability of being
able to forecast and tell folks whatthey're going to do, what they've done,

(20:34):
you know, in a matter ofseconds across the globe, with the
usage of a very cheap camera ontheir computer. And so by virtue of
that, they have an ongoing youknow, they're ongoing on the stand being
able to portray their ideology and theirbelief before a captive audience. Twenty four
seven. So if they want theattention, they have it. Talking to

(20:56):
criminologist Alex del Karman right now,Alex, As far as rhetoric, we're
hearing both sides say we need totone it down. I don't believe either
side will for longer than forty eighthours. We've seen this before. What
do you think do you think thatincident on Saturday involving former President Trump will
make both sides settle down, ordo you think it's going to be right

(21:18):
back to where we were within fortyeight hours or longer. Yeah, my
experience, having been around this worldfor a while, is that civility in
politics is short lived. And Ithink, sadly what's going to happen is
they're going to be making a pause, almost like you would at a funeral,
for a couple of days, andthen and then they're going to start,
you know, throwing grenades and rocksat each other the way they have

(21:41):
been. And as we get closerto the election, I think it's going
to get worse. And so,you know, I think it's a whole
bunch of baloney. You know,they talk to talk, but they don't
walk the walk. And the realityof it all is is that we also
need to be mature as a societyand be able to be sophisticated enough not
to let the politicians and the ideologiesgovern our behavior to engage in criminal activity

(22:03):
either. Alex, I want tojump back with you for a second.
So the marginalized, this twenty yearold who tried to take out Trump,
He's not the only marginalized individual outthere. How do we stop this or
slow it down? I mean,you can almost guarantee if there's a mass
shooting somewhere, it's a twenty twentyone year old white dude, like,

(22:26):
is what is going on here?And how do we put the brakes to
it? Yeah, you know,Unfortunately, there's no predictor, right.
Even if we get into the algorithmsof social media, which some people have
been talking about in terms of beingable to develop the ability of say,
selecting certain words or just looking atcertain individuals that do that. Part of
the problem is there are thousands ofkids that are introverts and thousands are really

(22:49):
good kids that are in front ofthe internet, you know, creating databases
that are going to solve the nextmedical challenge of the twenty first century.
So we cannot chastise the million peoplethat are going to be doing that versus
that one isolated case where the individualgets here. So it's a pretty tough
job for law enforcement to be ableto identify these guys. And what worries
me is is that they come infrom all sorts of backgrounds, middle class,

(23:14):
upper middle class, you know,well educated parents that have been teaching
them the right things, and theyjust simply go out there and do something
that no one expected and no onesaw coming. Alex, appreciate your insight.
Thanks so much for making some timefor me today. Thanks for having
me seven two on the bloom DaddyExperience. Let's bring Sam back in.
Sam. I mean, we dohave a twenty year old shooter to got

(23:37):
access to a building that has allkind of you know, there's really not
a lot about this kid out thereyet. So there's not and of course
there's going to be conversations about this. It's going to be investigations. What
needs to happen. It needs tobe independent investigations. Oh to service themselves.

(24:00):
That cannot be the FBI. Thereneeds to be somebody that really needs
to dig into this. But thisgoes back to you know, as the
interview said, you know, mentalhealth across this country. This is a
twenty year old kid. Isn't thatthe kidd that was so full of hate?

(24:22):
Mayor what's level? Why why attwenty years old was this young man
this angry that he the Tens assassination. Well, unfortunately we'll never have any
answer. Well, you know,I was talking with a friend of mine

(24:45):
that I work with and his brotheris a Border patrol agent, So I
mean he's you know familiar with,you know how government and security and things
like that, because his sister inlaw also works for the federal government.
You know, there there are thereare I think there are too many questions
right now. You you know,there's a there's a there's a there's some

(25:07):
finger pointing that's starting to take place. You know, hey, this fell
on the local people, this fellon local law enforcement, This fell on
so and so. Still, youknow, I listen, I get nobody
wants to at this point in time. Nobody wants to be a police officer.
Nobody wants to be you know,they don't want to. They don't
want to, they don't want tobe in any type of law enforcement at

(25:29):
this point in time because you're ina you're not in a win win,
you're gonna lose lose situation. Andyou know, you look at this and
there's just too many you know.You know again, the person that I
work with, he's a he's aretired state trooper. So I mean we're
sitting there and you know, Imean I do investigations in my job,

(25:51):
nowhere near what the state police oranything like that do. But you know,
we started to raise some questions.We're both asking questions back and forth
like how did this do? How? How did this happen? How did
the ladder get there? Like nobodysaw him going up a ladder? You
know where you know, you wouldfigure that there's that you know, every
portion of that area should have beenunder some sort of surveillance. So,

(26:15):
I mean, if you just lookat it from common sense, is the
general public, who was not trainedin spotting somebody shimming up a ladder with
a rifle in their hands not onlynotices the guy A worts different forms of
officials according to different report and thenalso as time to take pictures, somebody

(26:44):
failed. Yeah, well somebody saidthat there was a huge failure somewhere.
And we can get back into this, but of course we have to take
a break at the moment. SoSam, you're gonna be We're gonna be
back in a couple of minutes.We'll continue this conversation. Hey, you
want to chime in feel free oneeight hundred and sixty two four and seventy.
I want to hear your opinion.What do you guys think conspiracy theory?
You know, was was it afailure in you know, law enforcement?

(27:07):
What was going on? Give usa call one eight hundred and sixty
two four eleven seventy the Bloom DaddyExperience with Sam and Otis back after this

(27:33):
seven fifty one on the Blue DaddyExperience with Sam and Otis and before the
break we were talking about the breakdownin the you know, law enforcement,
the shooting of president former President Trump, and you know, is there is
there more to it than just abreakdown? And Craig from Bysville, what's

(27:55):
your opinion? My opinion is that, you know, I'm already severity theory.
It was just a collapse in security. And on one side said,
well I thought probably said all Ithought they was covenant, and the police
said all I thought they was covenant. And it was just a collapse of

(28:15):
security. It's all there is toit, all right, man, I
appreciate your opinion. Okay, thinkingyou have a great day. By so,
Sam, I got you on hereas well. Uh, you know,
going back into it, are ado you think it's just a breakdown
in communication? I do. Ido. I think I think it's a

(28:38):
breakdown in communication. I think itis. Unfortunately put it plain in Temple,
there were not enough people with theirheads on a swivel paying attention and
and and you know, for beingthe Secret Service, for being you know,
high level military attach him. Itwas one of the biggest failures probably

(29:04):
in modern history. Well, Ijust I mean where I have a problem
is when you have people that arein the area, a larning law enforcement.
Yeah, and then the reaction time, you know, it's like,
Okay, well, we know he'sup there, and I'm just I'm just

(29:25):
throwing this out there. This isnot what I necessarily believe. But you
know, I can see where peoplecould think this. So they know he's
up there, and then all ofa sudden, they don't they don't react
until after he shoots. That's youknow, I mean, there's an awful
lot of time from him being ontop of that roof to when he shot.

(29:45):
I mean, it's really not alot of time. But I mean,
for for for the Secret Service,for the snipers, for everybody else,
it's an eternity that he was upthere, because they could have stopped
him, you know, ten seconds, fifteen seconds before we even fired around.
Well, and again, let's keepin mind, this is a twenty

(30:06):
year old kid. This is notsome like former marine sniper. Yeah,
you know, this is a twentyyear old kid. What do they have
training? We haven't heard anything likethat. So yeah, it's a complete
breakdown and failure on the protection faultor you know their responsibility well and you

(30:26):
know they kill this kid and rightfullyso. But now there's just it's gonna
leave more questions and you know,it's kind of like and again I'm leaning
this down the conspiracy road, andI don't necessarily mean to, but yeah,
we've all seen everybody seen the JasonBourne movies. So you know,

(30:49):
was this kid taken in? Washe you know, was he given a
code word where he just all theall of a sudden becomes in a sad
but there's no trace of him whatsoever. You see what I'm saying. You
see where I'm getting that. Imean, you can see where people think
that. Yes I don't necessarily Idon't believe that, but I can see
where people would think that. Ohsure, And again there are people people

(31:18):
go down the black hole social mediaand they see a picture and they see
a retweet, and they take everythingfor fact. Just Facebook does not mean
it's true, correct, But that'show a lot of these conspiracy theories grow.
But yes, you can't help butthink as a as a common thinking,

(31:42):
average intelligent human being, that wehave heard our entire lives, how
we have the best of the bestwhen it comes to the military, our
secret service, all of that,and then you go, then how could
this have happened? Yeah, andthat's where the conspiracy theories, speculation conversation

(32:05):
begin because it doesn't make sense thatthis could happen based upon everything that we've
been told about how great our protectionand with the secret Service in the military
is. It doesn't the two thingsdon't go together. This should never have
happened. Well, and let's neverlet's not leave out the Hollywood factor because

(32:28):
everybody has seen movies and they've seenhow scenarios like this have played out in
a movie. And guess what,that's how they think real life is.
So you have you have a littlebit of the Hollywood factor that could influence
your opinion, and it shouldn't becausethat's, you know, it's all fictional
ninety nine percent of it, youknow, unless it's a you know,
a biopic or something like that,but it's it's ninety you know, most

(32:52):
movies are ninety nine percent fictional.Well, and then you've got to think
to yourself. You know, whoeverwrote that movie or wrote that book,
they had to have gotten that ideafrom somewhere. That's true, you know,
so that kind of that kind ofplays into it also. But yeah,
but I tend to agree more withwith Craig the caller that this is

(33:16):
just a complete failure, just abreakdown. Yeah, of the security detail,
yeah, I mean, yeah,lack of communication. I believe it
probably played a big role, becauseI mean, you you might well the
one guy said he had the shot, but nobody would give him the clearance

(33:36):
to take it. He said,he there's I mean, I mean again,
now, I saw this on socialmedia and it's it was allegedly a
retweet or a repost of one ofthe snipers and he said, I had
the kid, I had him inmy sights, but nobody clear nobody would
give him the clear to shoot.So, I mean, how true is
that? You know? Again,is that true? Is that? You

(33:59):
know part of the you know,the social media makeup? You know,
you don't, I don't, youknow. So it's you know, there's
a lot of conspiracy theories, butI can say this coming up at the
top of the hour at eight ohsix, Bloom Daddy is interviewing a former
Secret Service agent. So you knowwe're going to you may get some answers

(34:22):
there and that you know that's goingto be coming up here shortly. So
we know that, you know,bloom Daddy's got this retired Secret Service agent.
Is he going to break it downand tell us what happened? Is
he going to say it's a failurein communication? Is he going to say
that, you know, hey,who knows how this happened? You know?
Well, the other side of thecoin is just real quick, does

(34:44):
anybody trust the current administration to investigatean assassinating assassination attempt on the And I
would think that the majority of theanswers from the conservative side would be no,
they don't trust them. M Sobloom Daddy's yep, yep, sorry,

(35:04):
that's okay. Seven fifty eight onthe bloom Daddy Experience with Sam and
Otis bloom Daddy coming up next?Interview in the Secret Service Agent? See
number one talk show in the OhioValley. This is the bloom Daddy Experience.

(35:25):
Your host bloom Daddy. His goalinform, entertain, and tick people
off. The bloom Daddy Experience onnews radio eleven seventy. WWVA starts now
News Radio eleven seventy. It's thebloom Daddy experience. Hey, it's eight
six, let's get this hour rollingbig stories. Drum logiously is the nominee

(35:47):
for the Republican Party. That confirmstoday. Also the classified Docs case dismiss
that's a big win for the formerpresident. The judge ruling special counsel Jack
Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. This isthe number one case against Trump. It
was the most serious. So that'sa huge win in JD. Van so
Ohio Senator being his pick for VP. Obviously, Saturday the huge news and

(36:09):
it continues to be the assassination attempton former President Trump. I want to
bring on Robert Caltabiano, former USSecret Service Special Agent in charge, twenty
eight years of experience. Robert,old friend, how you been, buddy?
All right? Boom Daddy, longtime we haven't spoken. Yeah,
and I'm so glad you're jumping onhere today in light of everything that happened.

(36:30):
Look, I had somebody, asource of mine who's a a government
agency, who immediately texted me andsaid, how in the world does an
untrained twenty year old beat that levelof security. Interesting? How would you
answer that with the word interesting?I think back, you know it,

(36:51):
I have the luxury or the unfortunateluxury of sitting back and watching what we
all watched together as Americans. Andyou know, number one, this city
on a shining hill. The otherday, the light was a little dim
for a little bit, and Ithink it's you know, I was shocked,
Moon Daddy. I was angry,I was fearful, I was sad,

(37:14):
and I'm still continued to feel thatway based on you know what has
transpired. You know, we werejust centimeters away from an historically catastrophic event,
and you know, it boils downto a few things, the good,
the bad, and the ugly.And you know, to sit back
and be a quarterback on this Idon't like to do. But I from

(37:37):
what I've heard from from people onthe ground and throughout the last several years,
the Secret Service has been dramatically stretchedtooth in. The resources are not
there to be given. The expertiseor the experience is lacking in many ways.
The spirit is there, but whenyou add all that, you know,

(38:01):
the training apparatus is a less experience. You know, it was just
a breeding ground for a disaster,and I think it was just a matter
of time whether it's something like thisor something else to come to light.
And unfortunately, this is what we'veseen, Robert. When we found out

(38:22):
what happened in this twenty year oldcrawls up on a roof unsecured with with
a ar there's a lot of peoplewho said this had to be an inside
job, there's no way that thatcould happen. But then other people have
said in the know that this wasa monumental failure of somebody, and I

(38:45):
heard it was a seam issue,and maybe you can explain that. They
said, Look, there's different seams. We're coverage meets like you've got the
inner perimeter and where it meets theouter perimeter, it's a seam and somebody
obviously fumbled, and usually that outerseam is covered by local police, sheriff.
What have you? Do you thinkthat's what happened. Do you think
that somebody dropped the ball locally?Yeah, let's look at it this way.

(39:09):
We're in an uncharted territory where thefirst time since Chester Arthur in the
eighteen eighties, I believe it waswhere we have a former president running for
reelection or election again. And withthat, as you know, former presidents
are allocated Secret Service, they don'thave to accept it. Mixon turned it

(39:30):
down in the nineteen eighties, andevery former president normally gets a little more
of something compared to his predecessors.One of the reasons why bloom Daddy is
is because of the times, theadded intelligence, you know, the threat
level. The threat level on everypresident normally goes up on a new president.
Trump's has never gone down. Inmy view, it continues to go

(39:53):
up, and unfortunately, I think, you know, like just said,
the resources were not there on theinner and out of perimeters. I would
tell you I hate outside events.It's just it's they're they're big, you
know, they're very difficult in manyways to secure. And the other thing

(40:15):
is we've become complacent in a Trumpevent, He's been doing them so long,
they're so large, they're you know, everything has gone seamlessly. You
know, you've been to these events. It is you know, a great
work of art with that. Butwith complacency comes problems, and unfortunately we
saw that. What I'm really disturbedbloom Daddy, and I'm very very mad

(40:39):
about this is the fact that peoplesaw this man on the roof, they
try to bring it out to lawenforcement, whether it's federal or state or
local, and that that time timelapse, that time frame was going against
everybody, And you know, whydid that happen? I can only kind

(40:59):
of guess to make that The factis that we didn't have enough people or
police officers to put out by thatbuilding. I'm going to believe that the
building was probably locked, and fromwhat I understand, the man had a
ladder to get up there. Theproblem was there was nobody there to watch
that building, and that of itselfis a Catastrophey, yeah, that's what
I was gonna say, Robert,How is that possible? I mean,

(41:20):
you have advanced teams from the SecretService that go in, you know,
weeks in advance, if not months, and scout these areas out. How
does that building get well? You, yeah, you would think so,
But in the world of presidential elections, you have people running all over the
place and sometimes very short time frames. Now I don't know how long this

(41:42):
was announced before he was going there, but then you have to get the
select small group of people to dothe advance work to try to get the
manpower needed, and I believe thatthey probably didn't have adequate time to do
what they needed to do. Andthen you have to sit down with the
local law enforcement to try to getthe manpower to help you out. And
as you know, bloom daddy lawenforcement throughout this nation is stretched so thin,

(42:07):
nobody wants to become a police officeranymore. And so I'm going to
believe that they didn't have enough policeofficers there to help out because they needed
them for other events. You know, when the current president or former president
comes to town, the town stillhas the function. And like you know,
you're up in Milwaukee right now,and the Milwaukee Police have to function

(42:29):
as a police department just for thecitizens of the city, right And so
it's a slippery slope we've been dealingwith for many, many years, and
unfortunately this time we've just slid downtoo hard. Talking to former US Secret
Service Special Agent in charge Robert calledto Biano, twenty eight years of experience,
Robert, the other thing that wasdisturbing to me was when they let

(42:50):
him get up, he was fullyexposed from the top of his shoulders to
his head. If there was asecond shooter, if that shooter wasn't put
down easy kill shot. How inthe world is he fist pumping the crowd
while he's being stood up and walkedout of there? To me, that
would be busted protocol. Two wordsgloom Daddy, Donald Trump. You know

(43:15):
him, I know him, beenaround him enough, the strong willed man
that he is. If we lookat the videos, which I've gone over
numerous times now, those agents triedtheir best. They got on him quickly,
They had him down in the splitseconds they're assessing the situation. There's
blood coming, they don't know wherehe's hit, they don't know if he's

(43:36):
had any broken bones. All withinour eyes as the world is turning,
we have a you know, aperson down in the crowd, two people
down. All that was in maybethree seconds, and then the instinct comes
in and the training to try toget him out of the situation. The
issue is, you don't know,like you said, if there's another shooter

(43:57):
and you know it's a difficult call. I wouldn't want to, you know,
second guess the call there as theygot him up. It wasn't pretty.
It didn't look like Clint Eastwood inthe movies. Their instinct needed to
get him, sure, maybe outquicker. The unfortunate thing is is that
the former president actually hindered himself bywanting to make his actions known. And

(44:20):
so he's just a strong little manthat unfortunately or fortunately he got out of
it with a scratch. I willsay this though, on the really good
note, I think that they actedthe agent's quickly as possible. But the
greatest action of all was Donald Trump. And what I mean, Blumdadi is
he did what he was supposed todo. When you notice he got shot

(44:43):
in the ear, he reached upand he immediately dropped himself down to the
ground. That tells me that thoseagents throughout the years have been educating.
We try to work with the peoplewe protect to give them some type of
instruction if you're in a situation.I think trump instincts came in. He
knew exactly what to do to tryto take cover for himself and allow the

(45:05):
process to allow those guys to getto him as quickly as possible. Robert,
thanks for taking some time today andtake care. Okay, you too,
be safe up there and good luck, and I'll try to listen to
your reporting out there. Well,I can tell you this Robert. Security
here is through the roof, andthere's some dudes crawling around here that are
dudes like I. Man, ifI had to fight some of these guys,

(45:28):
I think I'd just pack it inand say, look, you win.
That's what we want, dudes.There's no doubt, Robert, thank
you, say twenty two on theBlue Daddy Experience with Sam and Otis on
News Radio eleven seventy. Wwba,Sam, you've got some housekeeping to take

(45:52):
care of. I do. So. You know, we have great friends
of our show and great and theymake it possible for me to be here
doing this here at the RNC allweek long. And of course that is
Gaulini Brick and showed Yannikinsurance, mccartilaw, and Kirk's ice Cream, which,

(46:12):
by the way, yesterday when itwas ninety three degrees up here and
I was walking from venue to venue, I could have used some Kirk's ice
cream. Well, it would havebeen Kirks cold milk because it would have
lasted very long in between your buildingsthere. No, no, it was
it was quite warm, so warm. So you know, we just had

(46:37):
the ad for Kirk's ice cream andyou said he has sweet corn ice cream.
Yes, and it tastes like sweetcorn. It tastes like corn on
the cob. It's it's strangely good. I don't know how it doesn't have
corn kernels in it, does it? Yes? Oh it does. Yes.

(47:00):
I'm gonna have to try this.Yeh, you do? You do?
It's uniquely good. So there yougo, Kirk, A little extra
plug for you. I'll be overto check out this sweet corn ice cream.
I gotta try it. You do? You do? You do?
I'm going I'm going out of myway to try it. So hey,

(47:24):
so you're you're at the Republican NationalConvention. You were there yesterday, you
were there when Donald Trump came in, you had jd Vance there. Just
you know, for those who maynot have been listening earlier, give us
a little recap. So you know, the early session was the the votes

(47:44):
of the delegates, so it wentstate by state, and there was a
different representative per state to say,you know, our twenty five votes for
the state of West Virginia, I'llgo to Donald Jay Trump. So that
was the morning session. The afternoonwas a lot more of the speakers,
especially into the evening. Now Idon't know at a certain point in time.

(48:07):
I lost track of time last night, But there were a few speakers
that really stood out to me,and one would be Senator Tim Scott.
He got up there, told hisstory, told his background. He really
got the crowd engaged in his story. One of the things that he said

(48:28):
that really stood out to me waslet me say to you one more time,
America is not a racist country.And he used his platform to really
get that message across. The onethat really shocked me and I never thought
I would say this. Amber Rose. Okay, she used to date Kanye

(48:52):
West. Never heard of he priorto that. She got out there and
she spoke. She was eloquent,she knew her facts, She was endearing
to the crowd. The crowd lovedher, and she told the story of
how you know she moved to laand she was very upfront and honest.

(49:15):
Instead, I bought into the liberalmedia. I bought into everything they had
they had to say. She shehighlighted that she comes from a multi multicultural
family and she said that she boughtinto the fact that the the Republican Party
is a racist party. So herdad, who is Republican, they were

(49:38):
talking about it and she said,you know, why, why would I
vote for Donald Trump? He's aracist, He's you know that, she's
a richuler. And her dad said, prove it, and she she dug
into it, and she could findnothing that made her believe what the liberal

(49:59):
propaganda was feeding her. And shewas up there on that stage and she
said I was wrong, and sheshe really got the crowd engaged, and
it was a really good it wasa really good story. The other one
was the Teamster's president, Sewan O'Brien. He was fan fantastic, he was
a fantastic speaker, and I've beentold that he's in the same hotel as

(50:23):
I am. So I'm going totry, hopefully and get an interview with
us. You're going to be astalker later, so hopefully I can.
I can run into him somewhere andget a hold of him and do that
interview, because he was a wonderfulspeaker also, and and and are the
Teamsters supporting Donald Trump? Now?I don't know if he. He's gotten

(50:50):
a lot of pushback from because theyhave never supported a Republican candidate for han
That's why I'm asking. Yeah,so I don't think he exactly straight up
said that they were putting everything behindTrump. It was the fact that he
was the first president of the Teamstersunion to speak at a Republican convention in

(51:12):
one hundred and twenty years. Well, you know, I mean that's just
something right there. Absolutely, absolutely, and he got the crowd he was
talking about. He told stories aboutbefore Trump even ran for president, he
would come to building sites and bringand pay for teamsters to get lunch and

(51:34):
drinks and that kind of stuff.That was before he was running for president.
I mean, he knows who builthis buildings, right, you know,
those men and women who work bluecollar jobs. I think President Trump
recognizes they're the heart blood of thiscountry and helped him get to be the

(51:55):
real estate mobile that he is.Yeah. Well, they are the ones
by the scenes, they're the onesbuilding the buildings. So I mean it's
it's not hard to figure out that, you know, you take care of
those people, you know, andyou know, I mean and sometimes union
people get a bad rap for youknow, maybe you know, they do
the job, and they do itwell, but they also tend to stretch

(52:16):
the job out a little bit.And so maybe by doing that going in
and saying hey, I'm gonna buyyour lunch. I'm gonna buy your drinks.
They say, oh okay, wellyou know what, let's work a
little harder, let's work a littlefaster, you know, I mean,
you know so, I mean he'staking care of himself, but he's also
taking care of them. Hey,we've got the Queen's gonna join us,

(52:37):
isn't she all right? We're gonnaget her out of bed. Eljim mccartial
along with Sam and Otis next onthe bloom Daddy Experience on News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA thirty six on the bloomDaddy Experience with Sam and Otis, And

(53:02):
we finally got Elgin mccardal away fromthe bar. She's finally awake. We
pulled her away from her Gin andTonics and now she's joining us live on
the radio. Okay, well that'show much you don't know what I drink?

(53:22):
I took a guess I took astab. Okay, well that's not
a drink. But hey, forfirst of all, congratulations from all your
gold medals. Well, thank you, thank you, all two of them.
But that's okay, that works,all two of them. Hey,
more than what I got. SoYeah, it was. It was a

(53:45):
long day yesterday at the RMC,but it was certainly exciting, lots of
excitement. So I asked, Iasked Sam earlier, and I want your
opinion because I mean, obviously youhave a little different a tie to it.
When Donald Trump entered the arena lastnight, what was what was the

(54:05):
atmosphere? Oh, my goodness,it was absolutely gosh, it's indescribable.
Quite frankly, there was there wasan awe sort of of the man and
the the bravery. It was justhe was he just encouraged, inspired.

(54:28):
It was inspirational. I guess thisis a good word to put to it.
Everybody was excited, lots of energy. If you've ever been to a
Trump rally, if you take aTrump rally energy, but you combine it
with some sort of serenity, somesort of calmness, some sort of it
was like a security like it wasjust neat to watch him actually before he

(54:54):
came out in the tunnel and Sam, you'd brought me time in on this,
but they were show him as hewas getting ready to walk out into
the crowd, and part of mewas looking at him as he was talking
to other people. He was takingdeep breasts and he saw the big patch
on his ear, and there wasa look in his eye that was a

(55:16):
humbling, kind of a humbling lookthat he was you're excited to go out,
but yet there was a kind oflike a switch that went off.
You know a lot of people saythat Donald Trump, you know, his
rhetoric, YadA, YadA, therewas a calm screen about him, and

(55:37):
part of me, not that it'sPTSD, but it had to have been
partially PTS PTSD. That was thinkabout it. That was his first public
appearance at a major lots of peopleevents after he had gotten shot. I
mean, so it was he tooka deep breath, he was walking.
It's like, okay, I'm goingto do this. This is kind of

(55:57):
country. It was just it wasinspiring there. What do you think?
Elgin? Elgin, You're exactly right. It's actually in my notes where I
noted, you know, Trump seemedto have a different look to him and
yeah, right, it was almostas if as he was standing in the
tunnel, he was he was hearinglistening to the crowd, to the the

(56:22):
commentary about him, and he wastaking it all in and the look on
his face was I am not supposedto be here right now, but by
the grace of God, I am. And it was almost as if that
moment it hit him. Well Idid, and I saw you know,
I didn't see it live, butI did see it on the replay.

(56:44):
I saw, you know, thevideo of it. He's coming out Lee
Greenwood's God Bless the USA's playing Andwhen you said, you know, when
when you said that, he hada look on his face and then you
went to humbling. The word humble, the word humble was exactly the way
I saw it. Uh, youknow, he he just looked like and

(57:05):
like you said, like a likea switch flipped, and he didn't.
I mean, he's still I mean, he still has that commanding presence,
but I think you know, inhis mind, he's thinking to himself,
this could be totally different. Wellit could be not right. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, it was abrave heart moment. It really was the

(57:30):
yes, you know, maybe thevery first brave heart moment. The real
brave heart moment was when you know, like Phoenix rising from the ashes and
he stood up after he's been shotand you know, pumped his fist in
the air. It was just he'sjust such a leader, without question,
He's such a leader. I don'teven know how you overcome that. And

(57:50):
and oh gosh, what was hername, Sam? He talked about her.
She spoke last night my ex girlfriendAmber Run model Amber Rose. Yeah.
She yeah, she was great.I mean, she's pretty much said
it. The the tone of theconvention is not only it's it's it's it's

(58:10):
a little different. You have thepoliticians coming in to speak, you know,
the governorship, Glen Youngkin coming in, so Scott came in, you
know, Mike Johnson spoke, andthen in between those you had everyday people
and that and that's the way theytouched it. It was everyday people telling

(58:34):
their stories of why they're going tovote for Donald Trump and what it is
that he has done in their lives. And they're just literally every day people.
Sam. I don't think you mentionedthe mother, the single mother who
lost her husband to opioids. Hedied, and so she was left as
a single mom raising her son,working two jobs, and she just she

(58:58):
was at one point she got kindof choked up and she said, you
know, this is tough, butthere is hope. And she started to
choke up and she started to tearup, and the entire stadium stood up
and clapped for her so as toencourage her. Keep Gellen, We're here,
We're here to support you. Imean, it was just it was
very it was just such a neatday. Exhausting, but very neat.

(59:22):
So different. So what's what's ontap for day two? Day two we
have the morning is well, there'sbreakfast. The delegation always has breakfast together,
and there they have a little youknow, speaker there, this is
a small one, and then weget we'll load up the buses at one

(59:43):
point thirty and we'll go to theRed Rock Saloon where basically dinner, lunch,
whatever it is. It's just likea big reception meal that is sponsored
by Senator Capitol. And so that'llgo till four thirty. And after four
thirty we go to the five Serveand we'll hear more of the speeches and

(01:00:07):
and you know, you take out, you know, you can go and
your speeches. But it's it's differentbecause they'll have a couple of speeches and
then they have this wonderful band.I don't know where they got the stick
up camp, yeah, but theysound exactly like all the songs that or
the artists that play the songs,and everybody gets up and dances and it's

(01:00:29):
just the time you lose track oftime and you don't keep looking at your
watch, and with every speaker,and the songs match the theme, like
so that's buy me what's the songI'm not good with you? Yeah,
buy me a boat? It said, because last night was make Meerka Wealthy

(01:00:52):
again. So that was one ofthe songs that was played. And you
know, they get the crowd allwild up they you know, and it's
it's just energized. I think it'sfun, it's uniting. That was very
that that was the mood or theaura of the convention, as far as
that is the unity that it's allof us, you know, whether it's

(01:01:14):
a team stirs, whether it's thesingle mom, whether it's the contractors who
can't teach, you know, who'shad to reduce his margins, whether it's
just it's just everybody, and it'sit's neat to see that the GOP it's
basically represents the entire country. Itrepresents the working people. It's a complete

(01:01:37):
switch of what the Democrats used tobe. It's and I think it's We're
pulling a lot of people over,and I think we're I think the United
States and the American citizens are thatthey're just the you know, heartland of
the USA is really what the conventionis right now? All right, So
are you two going to stick aroundfor the next one? I know,

(01:01:58):
Sam, is you sticking around forthe next breakdow Elgin? Sure? Okay,
Well, I mean I know,you know, we got to keep
you just going, you know,go to your flask and just you know,
help yourself. You got five minutesor chef. Hey, I'm a
person, Okay, get your I'msorry, get your get your t do's
and cranberry or whatever you got foryour morning. Oh yeah, wrong again.

(01:02:24):
All right, It's eight forty fiveon the Blue Daddy Experience with Sam
and Otis and Elgin. More tocome on wwv A eleven seventy. Hey

(01:02:53):
fifty one on the Blue Daddy Experiencewith Sam and Otis on News Radio eleven
seventy wwv A. Normally at thistime we'll say, hey, let's head
on up to the Highlands and talkto Kevin Cook. But Kevin Cook's on
the road headed to Mountaineer. HondaGarn gone what's going on, buddy,
Hey man, I headed to MountaineerHonda. Uh over here in Bridgeport,

(01:03:15):
West Virginia. That's the Clarksburg FaaramountMarket, And I'm gonna go check on
the guys over there, see what'shappened, okay, And what's the advantage
of having two Honda locations? Whatyou know, Honda has been one of
the manufacturers that over the past twoor three years, availability has been somewhat

(01:03:37):
of a problem. As most peopleknow post COVID. Uh, you know,
it was really hard to get thevehicle that you were looking for.
And so by us having two Hondastores now you've actually doubled your selection,
all right, because any unit thatyou see online now if you're shopping,
you know, the store up atthe Highlands or you're you could take a

(01:03:59):
look at that, and you don'thave the color of shareb you want or
the exact equipment level on the civicthat you're looking for. We also have
the additional inventory over here at MountaineerHonda, so it doubles your shopping ability.
And Mountaineer Honda has all the samegood services that all the other Straw
locations have as well. Correct,absolutely, absolutely ever drive on every one

(01:04:23):

Are you scared night? No,it's also National Guinea Pig Day, so
you have pray and predator there.Okay there, all right, all right,

(01:05:12):
we'll take Wednesday or Thursday. Allright, we'll see you all right,
all right, boyd bye. Solet's bring back in Sam and Elgin.
Good morning, ladies, Good morning. So uh so we've got we've
got day two of the r nC coming up. You know, you
you kind of gave us the rundownfor the day. What what's the one

(01:05:35):
thing you're looking forward to today?Oh, goodness. One of the speakers
tonight is Nikki Hayley. Is thata surprise to you? It is,
But again, I think it allgoes with the whole got I just got

(01:05:57):
shot things because prior to that shewas He didn't say that he wasn't going
to invite her. But I thinkit was hard. It was hard for
him to bite that bullet, setaside differences, set aside all the things
that she said, including that heyou know, you had two old men,

(01:06:20):
and that he was you know,I think she questioned his mental status
at one point in one of herspeeches. So, I mean, when
you start to get personal in campaigns, that's when I think it gets bad.
But he wanted to keep it toissues and differences between policy. I
think you're good, but when youstart being smarty, it starts you're human.

(01:06:45):
Everybody's human and you can only takeso much. But I think it
goes with the theme. It goeswith the theme of unity. It goes
with you know, setting aside thedifferences for the betterment of the country,
and that's what needs to happen.I think we are in a state of

(01:07:06):
where we're in a state where peoplecan't disagree and have discussions. If you
disagree, you're no longer my friend. If you disagree and you're a family
member, I'm never coming to Thanksgivingdinner again. That has to go.
And I along with that humbling look, that setting aside rhetoric. So I

(01:07:28):
that is Nippy's speech tonight will bewill be interesting because by the same tone
she's got to tape, the toneof letting bygones be bygones for the betterment
of the country. And you know, her showing up in support of him
is going to be a big thingfor her. So it's always difficult for
individuals and human beings to set asidethe differences and for the better man of

(01:07:51):
the good, or for the goodof the whole, so to speak.
So I think her speech will beinteresting. That's for today. I might
the thing that I'm looking most forwardto a Thursday, and I cannot wait
to hear what former present top thathe will also, because he ripped off

(01:08:14):
his old speech, the speech thathe was intended to give is no longer
is no longer. He's written awhole new one. And I think the
tone of Milania's letter, the toneof you know, the look on his
face it's I think we're I thinkwe're rocking and rolling and we're headed straight
to the White House. Do youthink do you think with with with Ron

(01:08:35):
De Santis and Nikki Haley being speakersat the RNC, you know, coming
on kind of last minute, bothof those, you know, within the
last week have been announced. Isthe Republican Party party finally getting in line?
Now? How the Democrats they allstay in line and they just kind
of go, go, go asa as a team, and the Republican
Party was kind of you know,they had splinters here and there is this

(01:08:57):
lining everybody else. Oh, Ithink it is. I think I think
there is definitely a sense of unity. I think we're going to come out
of this convention not only unified,but but rare to go. We're going
to the president President. I'm sorry, but the care, the RNSC care,
Michael Watley basically said he had threegolds and we'll see if I get

(01:09:21):
It's all related to the ballot.It's protecting the ballot whatever. What was
it, damn getting the vote out, protecting the ballot, It's all related
to the ballot. Yeah, itwas all ballot oriented. Yes, basically
getting the ballot out, ensuring theintegrity is the ballot and protecting it.

(01:09:45):
So getting getting everybody out and protectingthe ballot. But that is the key.
And there's going to be lots offolks hopefully rallying Pennsylvania. I did
meet someone from Pennsylvania delegation. NewYork delegation is is rare to go.
You know, it's just gonna begood. It's gonna be good. I

(01:10:06):
