Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Indeed number one Tuch show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the Blue Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news Radio eleven SEVENTYBVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy. Good Wednesday morning, Tia Humpday is almost here,
or to believe we're halfway to the weekend. Time is
just flying, fall weather, gorgeous, love it. I love the coolness,
love the sunshine. Favorite time of the year. Just saw
an article where a woman said she lost thirty five

(00:41):
pounds by just eating sardines.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
That's it, that's all she eats. She said, she's not
going to change.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
She's going to keep on eating sardines the rest of
her life, Like this is a total lifestyle change, just
eating sardines. Said her arthritis has been alleviated all kinds
of other problems by eating sardines. And as I'm reading this,
I couldn't help but laugh because it took me back
the only time I've ever eaten sardines, which I mean,

(01:09):
I've been around people when they've opened up, the containers
got awful, just disgusting looking. I don't think I could
do it, and I love fish, but it takes me
back to my favorite bar of all time. Growing up
in Lafferty, my grandfather started taking me to Pis Country
Western Bar on Route forty, which was right down from

(01:29):
the Old Grove Restaurant.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's the Grove apartments right now.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
When I was seven years old, and as I got
older and older, I obviously became of drinking age.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I used to go to Pixel all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sophie owned the bar, I graduated high school, was very
good friends with their grandson, Kelly Robinson. I mean I
went there all the time. It was my hangout. When
I started working at WTOV nine, I would get done
on the weekends at eleven thirty, I would drive from
Stutemville to Pis. Sophie'd have a pizza weighting on me.
I mean she treated me like family. Love the place,

(02:05):
small enough room for a pool table and a little
stage where she had bands every Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Anyway,
that place is the only place that I ever ate
sardines in my entire life. They were called blind robins,
and I'll never forget the first time I got a pack,

(02:25):
I was hammered. That's the only way I would have
tried them. And I remember I said, Sophie, can I
have a pack of the Blind Robins? And she said, sure,
but you're going to go outside and need them. And
I said, what are you talking about? And she said,
you'll find out what I mean, but you're not opening
this in here. And anybody who ever went the picks

(02:46):
you listen to Sophie. I mean she was tough, she
was rough. You didn't mess with her. So I remember
she handed me that package of Blind Robins. I was
with a couple of buddies. We walked outside. I opened
that package up and almost passed out. It was the
worst smell I have ever smelled, maybe in my entire life.
And I knew immediately why she made me go outside,

(03:07):
because there was no way she was going to have
that smell in a bar. And I ate one of
those Blind Robins and I'm pretty sure I puked for
the next twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It was I don't know if it was the alcohol.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know if it you know, look at this
stage of the game, I eat a lot of things
I would have never eaten back when I was twenty one,
twenty two, twenty five. Tastes have changed, so maybe if
I tried them now, it wouldn't have the same effect
on me that it did back in say, you know,
nineteen ninety three, ninety four, ninety eight. But those blind robins,

(03:44):
and if you've ever eaten them, you got to be
laughing right now or smirking, because you know exactly what
I'm talking about the worst thing I've ever put in
my mouth in my entire life.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
And I know that sounds terrible, but it really truly was.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
So when I read that article about the woman eating
the sardine, I mean, it immediately took me back to
nineteen ninety four picks on a Saturday night, her looking
at me and saying, get out of here, open that
up in a parking lot. Who she had great pickled
eggs too, by the way, So I'm not I don't
think I could do sardines for the rest of my

(04:17):
life like this woman. I'd rather carry around thirty extra
pounds than eat those damn things every day. Otis, Sam,
I don't know about you too, but I mean, do
you eat sardines? Do you remember the blind robins.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
That's an easy answer for me. No and no. No,
you're talking to the person that's never had cereal before.
So adventurous eating is not even remotely in my playbook.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
So as I've gotten older, I have learned to at
least try. I mean, if it's something that I don't
know what it is, I'm at least going to try it.
As far as food's concerned, if if I have the opportunity,
I'm not going to go out and just ser for it.
But just to be clear, and I have this here,

(05:06):
hold on one.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Second, breaking very deep research was done this morning by
Otis in regards to this this two.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Well, you know he was talking about the the the
blind robins, and I'm thinking to myself, blind robins aren't sardines.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I've never heard that before.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Okay, blind robins. Basically it was a bar food. You'd
find them because here's the thing. They're super salty, and
they are they're soaked in they're stored in basically vinegar,
salt and vinegar, so and then they're super fishy because
you know, it's just weird. But it's actually a smoked herring.

(05:46):
Now a herring and a sardine like if you go
into the genetics and everything, they're in the same family
or genus or whatever. So there are related fish, but
they're two different different fish, and I guess the difference
there's some differences that sardines are silver in color and
blind robins are. You know, they're made from smoked and

(06:07):
salted at Atlantic Harrying. The size of a sardine varies
by year, but the average length is typically about a
little over two centimeters. They're not very big. And then
a blind robin could be anywhere from eight to eleven inches,
so you can see the difference. And then and then

(06:30):
they weigh almost three up to three ounces, so there's
there's definitely a difference. Now I have had sardines. They
are not as fishy as the blind robins, but they
are salty as all get out.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Makes your tongue go nominal.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Oh like it's like it's like it's like it takes
your breath away.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
I hope everybody's enjoying their breakfast.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Well, and but you know, people like they get people
like some people like them on their pizza. Okay, there
they I think they cut up the anchovy and then
I've put it on.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Your pizza uncle that eats them right out of the can.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Well, if you. But there's also like if you, there's
certain salads and I don't know if it's a Greek salad.
I can't remember. Is it a season where they put
the sardine on? So they put the sardines on the salad.
And so when I was working over here in my
college days at the Bridge Tavern, somebody wanted a salad

(07:32):
with sardines, and so they had one sitting there, and
I was like, I've never had one, and I tried one,
and like I said, the saltiness just takes your breath away.
I mean, we could get into bar foods, like like
Dave said, pickled eggs. Oh, I could eat a pickled
egg anytime.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
When he said when bloom Daddy said that, it made
me laugh because one of the first times my husband
is originally from the Cleveland area, and he came down
here and I took him to a little bar out
near where I grew up in near Glenn Robbins, Ohio.
So anybody from that direction you know what I'm talking about.
It's called the Hideaway. And as we were driving there,

(08:11):
he first of all said, where are you taking me
like exactly exactly, And when I think back to it,
he did get very quiet on that ride, so I
just imagine what he was thinking. But anyways, we walked
into that bar and on one end of the bar
they had tons of stuff and just giant barrels.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Like Penrose sausages. Yes, yeah, those are absolutely gross.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
And he's I remember him saying something like interesting, uh
uh interesting, yeah, something.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Like yep, yep, yeah. I mean there used to be
bars that you'd get to and all that that stuff
would be sitting on there, like the Penrose sausages, and
it didn't matter how up I was. Never never would
eat a Penrose sauce. I'm never gonna say I never
had one. I ate one once and never went back.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
How long would those things last?

Speaker 5 (09:09):
In those child they would last two centuries plus a
nuclear war they might beat. They would survive more than.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
A card outlive the cockroach.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
They're absolutely disgusting.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
As I said, well, Happy Wednesday, everybody.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
I hope you're enjoy that pull cheerio is wow. Wow
with a sardine. Hey, that would be gross.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
We're gonna have more chances of win today. What we
get we do, we do so stay tuned for that.
That'll be coming up probably in the eight o'clock hours,
when I'm thinking, I don't know yet. We'll see, we'll see.
You've got to listen. When we return, we're going to
get into the new Gateway Center happening right next door.
The bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis News Radio eleven

(10:01):
seventy WWVA. Welcome back to seven twenty one that blim

(10:22):
Daddy experienced, samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Before we move on, we did have a call during
the break, huh, and the gentleman said that he honestly
believes that if you don't like blind robins and sardines,
you are a communist. So just passing that alone, comrade.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Wow, So I've never, like I said, I've ever heard
of blind robins before.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
So and you're you're you would never try one?

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Probably not.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Yeah, you're so scared to try any food. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I know, I know we've all heard the stories. Hey
got to a uh before we get into the Gateway
Center and all of that. So this morning, I want
to know if anybody else ever had this feeling. And Otis,
maybe you can chime in on this had a kick
in the gut realization this morning when I was trying

(11:24):
to you know what day is he? Hey, first wake
up and you're you're starting your morning, You're like, Okay,
what day is it?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (11:31):
You know how I figured out what day it was
by the top of the pill box, off of the
weekly pill container when I was taking my meds this morning.
That's a whole Yeah. Yeah, I was standing in my
kitchen and I'm like, what time, what day is it?

Speaker 2 (11:52):
This?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
And that?

Speaker 4 (11:53):
And I'm popping open the little the you know, weekly
pilk container. Oh yeah, it's Wednesday, because my old person
pilled container told me so. Anyways, Yeah, that kind of
put a bad taste in my mouth this morning. Anyways,
So for anybody that can relate, it happened to me.
All right, let's move on the Wheeling Gateway Center. So

(12:14):
happening today local officials in the media are invited to
see the plans as they unveil the plans, which are
the concept designs. This is happening at noon in front
of the former Wheeling of course, the location which is
the former Wheeling in there in the process of demolishing
and going through all the proper steps to make sure

(12:35):
it is demolished properly. Now, this is not open to
the public, but you can watch the tour online if
you are public, and you can witness this through a
live stream that is being provided by Wheeling Heritage, and
the live stream link will again be publicly circulated on

(12:55):
happening this morning, so you can get to that link there.
And you know, I'm very excited about this because number one,
if you work in downtown Wheeling, especially as close as
we do, the things that we saw happen at the
Wheeling in went on for way too long. So I
applaud the city for stepping in and doing what they

(13:16):
did to shut that down because it just continued continuously
was getting worse and worse and worse. The things I
saw in that parking lot learned a lot, let's just
put it that way. But moving on the the the
announcement of the Gateway Center brought a lot of conversation

(13:40):
and speculation to what are they going to put there?
So that is what we're going to find out today. Now,
there's been a lot of people involved in making this happen.
There was many There was you know, the West Virginia
Department of Tourism, Tourism, the City of Wheeling, Wheeling Heritage,
Ohio County, and red were all partner in this endeavor.

(14:02):
So I'm very curious to see what is going to
be unveiled today because there's been a lot of conversation
and speculational on what people want to see there. And
I said when this all started with the doors being
right across the street, with this being the initial greeting

(14:24):
into the city due to the location, that this should
be used as two fold an introduction to the city,
but also if the direction they want this city to
go is for downtown living, an example being the doors
right across the street, it should also provide amenities for

(14:45):
those that are going to be living downtown. Because there's
been a lot of talk about how it will be
a welcome center, and I have said since the beginning,
people don't go to welcome centers anymore. Don't go to
welcome centers. If they do, it's few and far between.
The welcome center for a city, a town, an amusement park.

(15:08):
I don't care what you say as a tourist the
welcome centers on your phone, So do I think that
should be a portion of the Gateway Center, Yes, Should
it be the predominant portion of the Gateway Center.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
No.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
There's way too much property that can be used, and
I believe more valuable ways not only for the resonance
of wheeling, but also the workers of wheeling. Do you
think I'm wrong in that otis?

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Well, it depends on what you want to put in. Yeah,
I mean you're you know, you're you're just making a
general statement. I mean, if you're talking something specific, then
maybe I could come it. But I mean you're just
saying the amenities. What are you talk?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
So?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, downtown. Let's take downtown living for example. I think
there should be a gym. There should be a small
grocery store, possibly a coffee shop, a bakery, anything that
is within walking distance. If they want people living downtown,
then those amenities need to be downtown for people to

(16:10):
walk to a small restaurant.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
I just had a You just have something that opened
across the street, which is a which is a small
coffee shop, and you can you can get a salad,
you can get a sandwich, you can get whatever. So
that's already there. Plus there's a coffee shop down the street.
Plus you. You know there's there's plenty of places to
get a coffee. Uh you already hit there's a seven
eleven that's a couple of blocks away. You're not going

(16:32):
to put anything in grocery wise, it's going to be
able to compete with your grocery retailers such as Kroger, Resbecs, Walmart,
any of those. A small a small convenience store can't
compete price wise with those places. Emergency wise, if you
need a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk,
I get it, but you're not gonna be able to compete.

(16:52):
And people are still going to drive to the big
retailers because that's where they're going to get the best
prices for their food.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Okay, I get that, but once again, the whole concept
of living downtown is everything is within walking distance. They
don't want to drive to different places.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
So I'm not gonna go to I'm not gonna go
to say, a convenient or a seven eleven or one
of these little convenience stores to do your major I'm
not gonna go there to buy a steak, right, I mean,
so I'm not gonna go there to buy my macaroni
and cheese at two and three times the price of
what I'm gonna be able to buy it at somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Okay, but should the bulk be used towards a welcome center, No,
because those are.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
They're not obsolete because people people still use them and
I can't explain, but we're out of time.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, oh okay. Seven twenty eighth the blom Daddy Experience
salmon Otis this guy his groove in there? I kind

(18:14):
of like that a little, A little sway.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
That's a little that's it's It's titled pool bar, perfectly.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
With the earlier conversation the sardines.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
At the bar, and yeah, well I'm not. I'm not
eating herrings and sardines at a pool bar.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
I'll swim up bar, okay.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Or even if it's just a bar at the pool,
I'm not. That's not what I'm eating, trust me. I
mean I want like like chilled fruit, watermelon and mango
and honeydew, and I want that, you know, you want
that tropical, that tropical vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But getting
back to what you were saying about the wheeling, Yeah,
about the visitor center. I don't have a problem with

(18:55):
the visitor center because that you can have people come in.
One of the things is like when I was working
over here at the Bridge Tavern, you'd have people come
in all the time and say, you know, out of towners,
they come in and get something. You'd have a couple
of drinks, whatever, Hey, where's Fort Henry? You know, we
see it on the map, but we can't find Fort Henry. Well,
it's because there's no fort anymore. It's just a marker. Okay,

(19:15):
when was that twenty years ago? Okay, okay, But what
I'm saying is people still to this day will say
where's Fort Henry. I mean I've had people come up.
I'd be on the street. I mean this is probably
a year and a half, two years ago. I'm standing
out there and this group of people, you know, family
comes up and says, hey, we're looking for Fort Henry.
Can you tell us where it is? And I'm like, yeah,

(19:37):
it's long gone. I mean, there's a marker over there
somewhere if you want to, And they have marked it
on the sidewalk here with the footsteps of Betty's ain
and you know all that the history of Wheeling and
the Fort Henry. But you know, people don't. People don't
get that. And then you have a visitor center. You
can come in and they can see what's going on
and Wheeling like it's all in one. It's like one

(19:58):
stop shop. You don't have to search on your phone
for everything. It's right there. Because you could say, okay, well, hey,
look I didn't realize Wheeling had a minor league hockey team.
And then you have something there that says buy three tickets,
get one free, and so they take that little flyer
nigga out and you could be put four bucks in
the seats saying with the Wheeling miners, you could do
it that way. Oh, indoor football, we didn't know that

(20:18):
was here. So many there's a lot of things. And
again I've said this. If I've said it once, I've
said it one hundred times. The City of Wheeling leaders
need to go to Saint Charles, Missouri, and they have
very So they're on the they're on the river, they're
on the Missouri River, they are on the you know,

(20:38):
it's the first capital of Missouri. Wheeling's the first capital
of West Virginia. You could use this as a bus stop,
okay for a private bus that would take you on
a tour and that the bus driver tells you, hey,
this was the first capital in Wheeling. Here's this. You go,
you drive them past some of the historic sites, you
take them through North Wheeling and it's free. You do

(20:59):
it for free. You make that bus ride, you know,
and you put a couple of places where they could stop,
you know, you take them to Center Market. You take
them past, and you say, oh, hey, well this back
in the day, this was such and such and now
it's this. And then as long as you know, but
then you have to revamp some of the things, like
you could go buy you know where the where rig

(21:21):
is and you know the history of that building and
how it's been renovated and everything else. A lot of
things you could do. And then so like you could
drop people off in Center Market, so then they could
walk through Center Market if they want. They could get
a fish sandwich, they could go to Valley Cheese, they
could get to roast beef sandwich, they could stop at
Market Vines, they could do whatever they want. Boom, then
they get back on like that bus would be there

(21:42):
like every half hour.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Well, and I'm not saying there should not be a
visitor center. That is not what I'm saying, Well, I
didn't say I get that. What I'm saying is the
bulk of the square footage should not be dedicated towards
that because is there enough demand in the visitor to
wheeling to justify using over fifty percent or whatever the

(22:07):
percentage would be of that area dedicated towards that well.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
And so what I would think is you build a hotel,
doesn't have to be huge, but you build a nice
quality hotel.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Like a little boutique hotel.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
And then and then you have the visitor center in
the bottom, and then you have a nice dining restaurant
that overlooks the river. I mean, that's not hard. You know,
it's the perfect opportunity. I mean when you had the
Riverside restaurant there, when when it was run right, people
were there, you know, and if if you, if you,

(22:42):
I'm not saying you have to make it upscale to
where people can't afford it, but you you also don't
want it. You don't want fast food slash bar feet.
You want something a little more middle of the road dining,
you know, uh that offers a variety of of cuisine,
you know, whether it be Italian, whether it be steak,

(23:04):
whether it be seafood or a combination of all the above.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, the whole point of this conversation is Number one,
that this is a financial opportunity for the City of
Wheeling and Ohio County, and the hope is that it
is used properly, not only to benefit those visiting the city,
but also those that live and work here. That's where

(23:30):
I think the balance needs to make sure that it
is taking care of or that conversation happens. Because if
you want people to come into Wheeling from surrounding towns,
not necessarily Tauris, but from somebody from Saint Clair's or
Barnesville or or Martin wherever, if you want them to
come back into Wheeling. I have heard the stories my

(23:52):
entire adult life about how Wheeling used to be. Well,
the reason people came into Wheeling was to shop, and
I understand shopping has changed.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
You're not going to get that back.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
And I'm not saying to that level you're not going
to get that back, But if you put in boutique
yes of shops, then you're gonna draw those shoppers in.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
And you've got to get the construction has to be completed.
I mean the roads have to be done because I
mean I look down around the Vagabond Kitchen. If if
I was on Market Street right now and I was
a small business, I'd be I'd be dead.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yeah, And the majority of them are hanging on by
a fingernail and they've been struggling through this for a
year and a half now.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
So I mean, if you do see a business on
Market Street, go support them, especially, you know, especially the
small ones, the Vagabond kitchens, the jewelry that's down there.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh, jewelry and watch company.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Right yeah, you know those places, you know they needs.
And even on Twelfth Street there when you go upstairs,
there's the there's the record store that's above, like the
Vagabond Cara. You know, there are certain things down there
that and you know it's yes, there's a lot of
empty storefronts, but the businesses there are there stopping at least,

(25:16):
you know, patronize them once or twice maybe a month.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
The waffle shop didn't make it, remember that well.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
And is it because of the construction? Is it because
how the street's been torn up? I get it.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
I mean it's a contributing factor. There's no doubt in that.
It's not that it's not, so you know, those are
a good point. Yes, please visit those restaurants and businesses
here and downtown Wheeling, because even though we're seeing signs
of completion, they're still struggling through all of this. So
let's move on to some other local news. Oh, Mike Maroney,

(25:50):
Mike Maroney, mm hmm. The what's a kount of Republican
Executive Committee is calling for his resignation at this point time. Personally,
I think this is kind of a moot topic because
he's a lame duck lawmaker. He lost his re election campaign, and.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
There's no point to technically he's out January one.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah, he's already been removed from the committees that he
sat on. So at this point in time, is this really.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Two and a half two and a half months. You
have a week off for Thanksgiving, You're gonna have two
weeks off for Christmas. I mean, in reality, how much
are they going to be in session?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Right?

Speaker 5 (26:33):
But I think I think it's the principal and I
think that's what it boils down to.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Yeah, that you're probably right on that, you're probably right
and and you know what these different you know, the
Republican committee. They're probably tired of hearing this name, and
this could be a way to just kind of possibly
put a fork in it and move on.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
Well, you know, he doesn't help the Republican Party any
because of his actions. And you know, I mean even
even his mug shot. Uh but that was on West
Virginia mug shots, that was on Facebook. You know, the
people were commenting, Oh, yeah, we're the party of this,
We're the party of that. Yeah, you know, they're they're
taking jabs because you know, that's that's the mentality today,

(27:16):
you know, and I call them the lower the lower
informed voters. What party he belonged to didn't have anything
to do with what he does. What he what he
has is that he has an issue now, and that
issue is he's he's he's addicted to something, multiple things. Yeah,
you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say exactly what,
but he has obviously some addictions and you know, needs

(27:36):
to needs to address. He needs to take care of
himself personally before he has to worry about anything.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Yes, needs to get out of the public eye real
quick before we go to a break. Want to let
everybody know happening tonight. Up at West Liberty is violence
of hope. This is musicians play on the violins that
are there's they survived the Holocaust. They were played by
Holocaust survivors. This is an opportunity to hear these violins played.

(28:04):
They were here about a year and a half ago
with the Wheeling Symphony and I got to talk to
the head of the Wheeling Symphony about this. But this
is happening at West Liberty and what an opportunity. Will
also be happening at the Ohio County Public Library at
six thirty. So after what we talked about on Monday
in the one year anniversary, the timing of this is perfect,

(28:25):
so treat yourself to this. We're going to go to
a quick break seven forty six the bloom Daddy Experience
Samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA Monday. We're back

(28:58):
on your Wednesday morning seven fifty to the bloom Daddy
Experience Otis and Sam News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. So
we are going to get to politics. Obviously it's Wednesday,
so politics unleashed with Algia mccardo coming up here shortly,
so we will beginning to that. First of all, I
wanted to correct myself before the break. I guess I

(29:20):
didn't explain this properly. It was a little confusing, Otis
pointed out to me, I mentioned the violence of Hope
that's happening today. They're going to be at West Liberty
at ten am this morning. Okay, now it makes sense.
They're going to be at the Ohio County Public Library
this evening at six thirty.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
There you go. Yes, now that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yes, my apologies for the confusion. I just got all
just didn't explain it properly, twisted it up a little bit.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
You know, I heard promo that we're giving away tickets
to Coasis in the city of your choice. Yes, it
was one of the promos I just ran.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
I didn't even know they were still around.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
But well, they just announced this big reunion tour. The
like there's actually Vegas odds to see how long though.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
A tour they can't see each other.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Well, the two brothers hate each other, right, So but
I was looking and I was trying to think. I
couldn't think of the name of the song, which is Wonderwall.
I found it on here, Okay, But anyway, I was
looking through our music, our music Library for iHeart like
all our stations, it's not We don't even have an
Oasis song in there.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Not one, No, not even wonder Wall.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Which is kind of ironic because we're giving away to
iHeart Corporate is giving away your chanceasy, which I find
a little at least to me, it's a little ironic.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
But like, don't you think, Yeah, another nineties reference there.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
But here's the thing, like everybody falling over Oasis. They
were formed in ninety one. They had seven.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Albums terrible haircuts.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Okay, they formed seven albums. They're only like they all
seven of their albums reached number one in the UK. Okay,
none of them did in the US. And wonder While
was the only Oasis single to break into the top
fifty on the Billboard Hot one hundred Singles. So they

(31:16):
had they had one hit here. They had a couple
other songs, but they had one hit. People were like
following all over.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
They were kind of like the a bad episode of
Jerry Springer because the brothers couldn't I mean, they can't
stand each other. All they do is fight and yell
and scream and cuss at each other.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
They took they followed in the footsteps of the Kinks
with Ray and Ray Davis and Ray Davies and oh
it's his brother's name. I can't think of it off
the top of my head. But the Kinks were brothers,
you know, two brothers in the band, and then the
next thing, you know, they would fight with each other
and they'd break up, and then they reunite, and then
they'd break up and reunited. I don't think they've performed

(31:57):
together in like forty years.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Was a permanent breakup?

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Yeah, I mean, I don't even know if they tell you,
I got well, look at the I think it's CCR
has a pair of brother Creden's clear Water and the
brothers like John Fergerdy gets along with two of the guys,
but the one guy in one like one other band
member and his brother, the one plays the drums and
like they fought and so like John Fogerty can't like

(32:22):
play under CCR and stuff like. I mean, it's just weird.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
So how much you want to bet they don't even
make it to the first I don't even they'll they'll
make their European tour.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
I don't know if they'll make their I don't know
if they'll make a date in the US or not.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
And plus they're doing Australia. I mean they're doing they're
doing other places, but their North American tour. If you
buy tickets to be prepared to get your money back,
and you're not going to get the handling feedback by
any means.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Keep your receipt, keep your receipt.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
Don't expect a full refund.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Did you see this? Did you see?

Speaker 6 (32:58):
Yeah? Yeah, I did.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
We talked about this briefly on Monday, which was the upset,
the Vanderbilt upset over Alabama. So I saw it. I
was watching it live. And at the end the of course,
the students they just charged the field and they were
celebrating and all of that. Well, one of the things
they did was they took the.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
They tore down to go the goalpost.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I didn't know they did this. They then carry it
to the Cumberland River.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
Which is like two miles from Vanderbilt Stadium.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Yeah, but they cut it up, but somebody recovered it.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Throw it in the river.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Yes, but they recovered it. Somebody did, and they cut
it into pieces and now it's up for sale pie
the pieces, Yeah, for the collector.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
Like eight inches. You can buy an eight inch piece
and they're I guess they're on live source. It's I
guess I've never heard of that one.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
They're selling for four thousand dollars each.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
Well, and then well that's the eight that's that's the
big ones. And then the four inch secon is about
a thousand. Yes, hey, God bless them.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Yeah, it doesn't say.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
That's better than copper prices. Right now, there you go
steal a gold post song. But oh, you copper thieves.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
You've got to give it to the students that tracked
two miles to the river car I.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Told you during before the show because we were talking
about this a little bit. And there was like a
video where they showed them walking through the streets in
Nashville carrying the goal post, and then underneath was like
a little map with like you know how they have
the little ways thing or whatever, and it was tracked.
As you were watching the video, it was tracking them

(34:44):
through the streets underneath of it and say like you're
and then it gets to the Cumberland River and just stops.
It's kind of funny.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Yeah, if you have a look at waves, sometimes some
of those little things are like, what does that even mean?
Don't even know what it means? You said, there's the
batmobile on there too. Used to be understand the look
into that one. All right, seven fifty eight. When we
get back, it's time to get political with politics unleash
with Elgin mccardill. Stay tuned.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
For one talk show in the Ohio Alley. This is
the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host bloom Daddy. His goal inform, entertain,
and tick people off. The bloom Daddy Experience on news
radio eleven seventy. WWVA starts now, Note what are you saying?

Speaker 4 (35:38):
It's eight oh six. The bloom Daddy Experience Samon Oda's
News Radio eleven seventy. You hear those giggles?

Speaker 5 (35:45):
Hey, hey, hey, Algin Nit's radio. You know when you
see this that normally means.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Well, I couldn't hear. My microphone and earphones were not live.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
All right. We got her going now, okay.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
So let's get her fired up.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Let's get her fired I want to start.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
She's in her fuzzy white sweater.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
It's warm, it looks so cozy, all right.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
She looks like a pull like the velveteen rabbit.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Oh goodness. Well, we're laughing now, so let let's keep
that up. I love this statement. Found this on social media.
I don't even know the guy who came up with it.
Jadie Vance is the kind of guy who mows your
lawn when you're sick. Tim Waltz is the guy that
reports it to the HOA.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
I thought that's a great description.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
It is, it is, and it kind of goes along
with the whole everything that's going on, whether it be
the hurricane relief, whether it be the wars well, and
I'm gonna call him wars because they are worse and
in all of the catastrophic events. I was just telling
Otis before we came on that we are in a

(37:01):
physical mental The whole country is an absolute catastrophic state
right now, and it just there are so many things
that are going on that need to be addressed, that
are not being addressed, or that are being politicized, and

(37:21):
I don't even know where to start.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
And that's a great point because I love that you
brought that up. Because I was speaking to somebody over
the weekend and the conversation about Helene came up because
we did a lot of charitable work Saturday and this
person I was speaking. She said, well, you know, another hurricane,
And I said to this person, I said, hello, it

(37:48):
is like the second worst in modern history. People have like,
you know, towns are gone. And this person was like, oh,
I didn't realize it was that bad. I said, do
you know? I said, do you not the news? And
and this person said, I don't. Because from my own
mental well.

Speaker 6 (38:08):
Being, I can understand that.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
And I cannot disagree with with this person because I
think there's a lot of people that feel that way currently,
and I know with personally, with this job over the weekends,
I try to separate myself. Sometimes you can't because you
have to kind of recenter yourself. So I think that's

(38:32):
a great point that you made. It kind of piggybacks
with the conversation with her of you know, are people
disconnecting to the point where they're not informed about important
things like a hurricane that are not political. The political
world has taken over our.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
News cycle, it has, and and you know, information is
the question. What you need to look at is you
need to do your own research. Just because it's on
the Internet doesn't mean it's true. Just because it's on
the news doesn't mean it's true. I guess the best
way to approach it is to watch all news stations,
because by watching all news stations you get all of

(39:11):
the different viewpoints. Gone is the day of Walter Cronkrete,
where the news was just given and you just interpreted
it as the way. It would be nice if you
had a news station that just reported the facts. But
where do you get the facts. The only way you
get the facts is to boots on the ground, to
go to the actual places of devastation, Talk to the people,

(39:35):
see what they are experiencing, See what they're what money
they're getting, See what help they're getting, and from whom.
What I've noticed in the aftermath of Helene and the
before activities, before math of Milton is that people already

(39:58):
distressed their government. They really do. But there has to
be some sort of information, not just neutral information. This
is what's going on. I mean, for someone not to
know that the upcoming Milton is going to be catastrophic
and deadly. When Tampa, I believe the Tampa warning was

(40:21):
evacuate or you die, I mean that's pretty strong. Where
do you live? Do you live under a rock that
you don't know what these things are? Going on, you
have to know, switch your channels, go to different radios,
radio stations, go to different TV stations, listen to everything,
because you have to do your own research and come
to your conclusion because if you don't, then you will

(40:43):
be misinformed.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
Well, the news cycle where we're at right where we
are right now, as far as time, is going to
lean political because we're less than thirty days away from
the election. Yes, so that's going to be at the forefront.
But you know, for somebody to tune out totally, I
mean you could you can put your TV on mute
when it's about political and you could be doing something else.

(41:05):
And then you can when you see something like, oh,
well here's the weather. I mean, it's hard to be
biased about the weather. You know, it is what it is, right,
but you can politicize it. You can politicize what's what's
about to happen, what has happened, things like that, But
the actual storm coming there's no way to change that, right.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
And I think the biggest example of the political politicization,
if I can't say that word this morning, it is
the aftermath of Aline and the preparations for Milton and Florida.
You know, the whole, and I don't I haven't determined
because I don't know whether Kamala Harris actually called Ron

(41:48):
DeSantis that that big to do talk about making something political.
She she never called. And if you listen to what
he said though he said she I've gone through two
hurricane disasters during the Biden administration and not once did

(42:08):
Kamala Harris give me a call. People realize she is
not the president of the United States. She is not
in control of this. Ronda Santas did speak to Biden.
He is still president. Ronda Santas's point was that in
the course of two disasters during the administration, Kamala Harris
never made a call. So as vice president, which she

(42:30):
still is, why would she call now except for the
fact that she is now running. But instead of I mean,
there's a lot of things that she could do other
than go doing her little media blitz, her softball media
blitz with everybody.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
I mean to the optics.

Speaker 6 (42:47):
The optics, right, I mean, she has as a political
candidate who has won several different races, it is amazing
how oblivious she is.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
But here's the other thing. She also is advertising the
fact that yes, she's in the war room all the
time on anything, and she's the last one out on anything.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
Well, on the view she said, on most important topic,
she was, you know, so it depends on who she's
talking to when she's talking and what the particular thing is.
But she said, on most important topic, right, she was,
you know, going back, circling back to dissantas he was
in the middle of a primary when the last I

(43:32):
think it was it was it Ian No, I forget
what it was. It was earlier before the primary, before
the presidential primary, before he dropped out, there was a
hurricane that hit Florida. He left, he left the campaign,
he went back to Florida. There was no mention of it.
He just went to work.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
This was his job.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
It was his job. This is what we're doing. And
for Kamala Harris to just criticize him because he's politicizing
this and he's not taking my call. You and you've
never called before. You have no position, now, why would
you call now? And you know, the criticism is well,
Trump did well. Trump was also down on the ground

(44:13):
within two days, within two days, helping people with his
own money, with his own you.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
Know, as a Florida resident.

Speaker 6 (44:21):
It just it just it just amazes me.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
Well, and in their solution or their answer to all
of this speculation, whether we're talking about the videos online
of the survivors or the uh there those that are
there helping the truck drivers that are saying they can't
get there, they're all saying, well, it's it's disinformation. FEMA funds,
it's disinformation, fact checking, and our White House Press secretary

(44:45):
can't even take a question from Doucey. She gets like
her panties in a twist and she marches out, well,
guess what you're there to answer the questions that the
American people have, right, you can't label everything disinformation.

Speaker 6 (44:59):
Well, it's it's labeled disinformation or misinformation when it doesn't
agree with their narrative or it doesn't agree with the facts.
I think I heard Senator Kennedy, who from Louisiana, speaking
the other night on Katrina, and he compared the stats
of the federal government's reaction to Katrina versus the federal

(45:24):
government's reaction to Helene. And he said there were twenty
thousand troops on the ground after Katrina within days. There
are now seven thousand troops on the ground after Helene.
Which is worse than Katrina. And he should know because
he's a Senator of Kentucky, so you know, and that
Bush was criticized for doing the flyover. But yet, oh,

(45:47):
I can't even.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
Say numbers, speak numbers. That's what you got to look at.
You got to look at the numbers. We're not done
with this conversation. We have much more. Eight sixteen. The
bloom Daddy Experience samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy w WVa.

(46:22):
We're back at it eight twenty one experienced.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
Sounds like a little daft punk.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
Never mind, you know who we are. It's not gonna
say it again.

Speaker 6 (46:32):
It's called spicy, spicy, spicy.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Oh boy, alrighty, all right, where was getting on there?
We're spicy with politics this morning?

Speaker 5 (46:45):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
So I mentioned Monday about the information you sent me about, uh,
the legal edition that you're offering to North Carolina. Can
you explain to our listeners exactly what that is?

Speaker 6 (46:58):
Yes, So, the West Virginia Bar sent out a notice
to all attorneys in West Virginia. License attorneys in West
Virginia if you would like to assist in legal matters
because there will be a lot of legal matters, whether
it be landlord, tenant fraud, getting FEMA, unemployment, all kinds

(47:20):
of different issues. But if you are wanting to do
some pro bono work to help the victims of the
North Carolina catastrophe, you can go online to the They
send out a link that you can get licensed. The
North Carolina Supreme Court issued a memorandum that in a

(47:42):
resolution that allows attorneys from other states can basically provide
pro bono work and they will grant you a license,
a temporary license, so that you can help the victims.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Yeah, so listening, if you have family, friends anywhere down
in North Carolina dealing with this, this is something you
could possibly mention them because you know, when these things happen,
we initially think food, water shelter, but there is going.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
To be long term, yes, effects, dealing with insurance companies
and getting you know, getting trying to do that. And
I don't even know that the residents of Ashville would
have even had flood insurance because they're in the mountains,
you know how how you just don't.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
That's not top of mind in their and.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
Usually insurance you know, policies exclude acts of God, and
so there there's just going to be a lot of
legal maneuvering.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
And the last thing those people need to deal with
mentally is legal maneuvering and talking to somebody who's in
say California, and they have no idea what these people
are living with and dealing with and all of that.

Speaker 6 (48:50):
So right, and then it is a spin off from that.
There are also going to be effects on the election.
I mean, there's just a you just have to talk
about it. I know that the RNC has or and
I think it has developed a website where you can
actually go to try to figure out how you're going

(49:12):
to do that. I know that they're working with the
governor of North Carolina to and perhaps the legislature to
pass some laws now prior to their early voting so
that allows individuals who have no post office, no electric,
no water to still polling pace. I guarantee they don't

(49:36):
have a polling peace to try to do that. Yeah,
I just I just don't know how that's going to work.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
And even if they did have a polling place, say
like a school or something of that nature, that might
be now being used as an emergency shelter. So how
are you going to let people come in and vote
when that's an emergency shelter. So there has to be something.
And I heard this on another show. It might have
been Glenn Beck that follows us. But one of the
things that he was saying was where are these people
going to how and where are these people going to vote?

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Right? I said that Monday. We talked about it Monday.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
Right, So I know that they're I know that the
RNC is working on it. I don't know what the
Dancy's doing.

Speaker 5 (50:12):
They don't want them to vote.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Well, it's funny you say that, because I was watching
I believe it was CNN and it was a senator.
I can't remember who it was. I should have written
it down, but he was. They were talking about, you know,
how how this is going to affect North Carolina because
the last two terms, last two runs, Trump has won
North Carolina by a very small amount. And the way

(50:36):
that this gentleman worded it was the people basically, the
people that won't be able to because they're stranded. Well,
they're they're the they're the country folk. They they they can't
figure out how to have the initiative to go and vote. Mister,
I'm sorry you got that backwards. Those country folk, those

(50:58):
mountain people that you're trying to denigrate. They're the ones
that have found the donkeys, and they're the ones climbing
up the mountain. They're the ones that find a way.
So it was like, man, you're.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
Being you're you're but yet he's also he's also the
guy that's saying having a legal ID is racist because
black voters can't they can't go out and get a
legal ID, a photo I d well.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
And then you tie that into FEMA and their whole
DEI perspective saying that those they have, they have to
distribute funds and allocate funds to those who need it more.
In other words, they don't want to give funds to
those folks that have quote resources, you know, and we're

(51:43):
going to give them a listen. I don't care whether
you're rich, poor, or what race you are. If your
house is gone, your house is gone.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
Period. Yes, you know, the water doesn't care, and we
don't care either.

Speaker 6 (51:56):
The water does not discriminate. Yes, nor does the hurricane,
nor the nor do the winds. You know, there just
has to be access. It just there has to be access.
There has to be resources for these folks. And I
think what's probably the best thing that I have noticed

(52:17):
is that it's not it's not the government that's helping necessarily,
it's the people. It's all the different states that are
going there. Individuals. People that have resources are the ones
that are flying their planes loaded with.

Speaker 5 (52:32):
And it's state governments that are helping, right, just like
Justice is sending National Guard down to Florida and North
Carolina and wherever.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Right.

Speaker 6 (52:40):
And I don't know if you remember Chris Miller who
ran for governor. Yes, he actually and his company took
a plane and really got that gathered resources down in
Huntington and they flew the planes down to North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
And that's what we're seeing all across the country are
American citizens stepping up, right. So we're going to get
into a little bit more, including freedom of speech eight
twenty eight, The bloom Daddy Experience, samon Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA Happy Wednesday, Politics Unleashed with Algie mccardal,

(53:32):
The bloom Daddy Experience. So before the break, I said,
freedom of speech touches a little personal here with you
know what we're doing right now. The big term is
there's a few big terms floating around fact checking, disinformation, propaganda.
If you've been paying close attention, there's been some big

(53:54):
names kind of sort of floating out there, these these
little hints of what they're trying to do. They're not
blatantly putting it in your face, but little hints. John Carry,
Hillary Clinton, the entire Biden administration. They are trying to

(54:16):
limit free speech. Let's call it what it is. That's
what they're doing. And when you have quotes from Hillary Clinton,
which by the way, i'll say this again, please go away,
go away, she pops up like a infestation at your house.
Just you can qulm it for a while and then

(54:37):
she comes back.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
But anyway, yeah, she's just one of the mold that up.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
But recently she said, you know, in regards to limiting speech,
we don't want to lose control. We don't want to
lose total control. I'm sorry, I forgot left the word total.
Now they are painting this with a broad brush, speaking
about it with social media and protecting the children.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
That's step one. That's the that's the portrait they're painting.
I personally think long term plans are to completely take
away free speech because and it's not all it's not
all speech. It's only speech that disagrees with their viewpoints.

Speaker 6 (55:24):
Oh, absolutely, absolutely. You know, there is something called the
First Amendment. It is in the Constitution, It was written
by our founding fathers, and it has been interpreted by
the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court has indicated certain
things that you are not allowed to do. But that
has been twisted as well. So one of the biggest

(55:46):
exceptions to free speech is the inciting riot. You know,
you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, you can't.
Pornography is another thing that has been addressed by the
Supreme Court. Pornography sort of falls under the protecting children situation,
though as interpreted there are certain states that have certainly

(56:11):
taken that and twisted it. With the books, for example,
what books can be banned and what books cannot be banned.
They are applying it, applying it slowly but surely. Like
you said, they are applying the First Amendment speech to
prohibit books on history, you know, taking down the utuments,

(56:32):
et cetera. But they are not prohibiting it on items
that should be prohibited, like the books that are being
published to children that have the LGBTQ, the sexual information,
the graphic information, those things. They are interpreting the First

(56:53):
Amendment to apply to what they want and slowly but
surely trying to eliminate your or freedom of speech, you know, misinformation.
They want to They want to have control of the narrative.
I think we all know that social media. I think
that has come out, you know in the last couple
of months that the narrative of COVID was controlled, the

(57:16):
narrative of Hunter Biden's laptop was controlled so to the
extent that they want to control it, and they want
to control the message. Their freedom of speech is protected,
yours is not, and so slowly but surely this is
Marxis Marxist, which leads to communism, you know, and and
that they've been doing it. All you have to do

(57:38):
is look at history. Look at what Hitler did you know,
started banning books, free speech, you know that kind of thing.
It's all happening. And if you let it happen, and
you don't go to the polls and vote and vote
for the Republicans, Sorry but I am, but it's just
you know, we believe in the freedom of speech, we
believe in the constitution well to do.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
That, oh absolutely. And here's the thing. I don't think
they were prepared for the extent in reach and power
social media gives the individual. Now. They were prepared with
the traditional media as we all have experienced over the
last fifteen twenty years, and the direction that it has

(58:21):
gone with all platforms, whether we're talking ABCNBC, Fox, all
of them, they're all skewed one way or the other.
They were prepared for that, but I don't think they
were prepared for the power that social media has given
individuals and influencers. I mean, that's become a career for people.

Speaker 6 (58:39):
It absolutely has. And I think if you look there
was a teamster's interview last night where the teamsters were
talking about who they were going to support and the
auto unions, the unions are the line unions are supporting Trump.
And I think that the president of the Tiefs, so
the one who spoke at the RNC, indicated that they

(59:00):
have given millions of dollars to the Democratic Party and
have gotten nothing from them in the last you know,
four years. And I think they said they gave about
three hundred and forty thousand to the Republicans. They characterized
the tech social media, the tech giants as now the

(59:22):
unions of.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
Oh, the parties have flip flop, right, the parties have
flip flop.

Speaker 6 (59:28):
So the the giant techs are the ones that are
basically controlling or wanting to control, and that that the
line and the working class is not being represented. And
that's why the line unions are now flipping. It's so
the working class, which is which was formerly the Democratic Party,

(59:48):
which was the unions, are now supporting the Republicans because
positions have flip flop, and the tech giants are now
the controllers, right.

Speaker 4 (59:59):
Yeah, a Darth Vader. Well, and I think the conversation
about free speech and this disinformation and what they're trying
to do, this is what most people should be very
scared about. Oh, absolutely, once the individual loses their own voice.
And as you said, it's already been pointed out how

(01:00:21):
this current administration has already tried to manipulate and censor
the voices. I mean, Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook,
wrote a letter saying that they pressured Facebook to censor
posts in regards to COVID. And look at what we
know now, right, it's not their stories, it's not their narratives.

(01:00:42):
It's those who disagree with them.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
And I think it might have worked in third world countries.
We are the United States of America. We are a republic.
We are republic based upon the constitution that was written
by our founding fathers, which has lasted for years, and
it works. But here it might not be perfect, but
it works.

Speaker 5 (01:01:03):
Here's what this is where we can lose faith in
our media and everything else because of the disinformation on COVID,
on the vaccines, on the Hunter Biden laptop. They go
out and they do these stories and then they'll say, oh,
well we were wrong, and that's it. There's no attraction,

(01:01:24):
there's no real retraction, there's nothing. I mean, on the
on the Russian collusion thing, the guy from the Washington
Post won a Pulitzer Prize for basically a false article, right,
you know, or a false story.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
They're not being held responsible, they're not.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
Being held accountable.

Speaker 6 (01:01:39):
And Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
Well exactly, you know. So I mean, here's here's the thing.
I mean, if you're not going to be but yet
people still go back to them even though they were wrong,
and people still believe what they're telling you. That's like,
how can you believe a news source that has continually
lied to you and proof they told us for three
and a half years that there's nothing wrong with Joe
and all of a sudden they, oh, yeah, he's out there,

(01:02:03):
he's you know, he's out in left field. But yet
you're gonna believe the news source that tells you to
Kamala Harris is the smartest person in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:02:11):
Who never got a vote?

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
Right? Who?

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Who? Who? Who's placement I'm gonna call it placement because
she wasn't elected. Whose placement into the candidacy that she
has currently was not anything democratic or republic I mean,
it wasn't. It wasn't by representing it just there was
nothing about it like this is our this is our

(01:02:36):
chosen one. Oh since when I wanted her off.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
Two months before that, they wondered her off exactly because
they said she's killing Biden.

Speaker 6 (01:02:44):
Right, and now Waltz is killing her. I mean, and
they are. I just don't know. But that's that's assuming
that everybody does her research and and looks. But you
cannot tell me that you can watch her interview will
whatever that is.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
We're gonna get into the media tool. We're gonna get
into that real quick. But one other thing, just one
last thing on the free speech all of that. Take
a look at the UK right now. Our government has
met with leaders of their government on how they are
stifling social media. So if you think this is not
happening in other countries like ours, it is, take again

(01:03:23):
or what's happening over there? That could be our future
and it should send shivers down your spine. But we're
gonna jump to a quick break and when we get back,
we're gonna talk the media Blitz by Harris All Buddy
A forty six The bloom Daddy Experienced salmon Otis News
Radio eleven seventy Welcome Back, eight fifty one, The bloem

(01:04:01):
Daddy Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWV.
So here's a little bit of something political but fun. Okay,
all right, those two words not used in the same
sentence very often. So there's a bakery in Ohio, in
Cincinnati actually since nineteen eighty four that has been able
to predict the outcome of the presidential election, and they've

(01:04:24):
gotten it right every single time.

Speaker 6 (01:04:26):
Do they have it right right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Now?

Speaker 6 (01:04:28):
Don't even tell me if they don't even tell me
if it's wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
They do it based upon purchases of certain baked goods,
and they also do it with the Super Bowl and
things like that. But as of right now, Trump cookies
are at eight hundred and twenty seven Harris three thousand
and one thirty one. Oh wow, so just a little
bit of it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
Go buy some Trump cookies.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
That would be a little disturbing just eating a cookie
that looks like Donald Trump. Eight.

Speaker 6 (01:04:57):
Wellnment has baby dog cookies.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (01:05:02):
Baby Dog is that's good in Springfield, Ohio?

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
Quick?

Speaker 5 (01:05:08):
Sorry, did I go there?

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
Yeah? You did? You did?

Speaker 5 (01:05:11):
You? Did?

Speaker 6 (01:05:11):
You did?

Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
So?

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
Hey, hopefully the bakery's on on key. So let's get
into the uh media tours. That what we want to
call it media blitz.

Speaker 6 (01:05:22):
Yes, it's uh long overdue media blitz.

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
But it's not real media comes.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
It's not media. I don't even know what it is.
How do you how do you even characterize?

Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
It's like she's promoting movies a movie exactly. It's like
you know, how you have media to like if like,
so a big movie's coming out and so the star
of the of the movie. Let's say there's a new
Raiders of the Lost art coming out, and so Harrison
Ford goes on, you know, he goes on Jimmy, he
goes on to Jimmy Kimmel, He's on Today, he's on

(01:05:56):
Good Morning America, he's on whatever else. The Late Night
Show is. Then the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he's on,
you know, he does that's the media blitz for the movie. Okay,
and then they show clips and they do this. That's
all this is. It's a puff piece.

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
It is a puff piece, and there's just there is
absolutely no substance.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
Now, now, I will I will say that the sixty
minutes interview with Bill Whittaker, which.

Speaker 6 (01:06:22):
That one was good, that was at least pushed back.

Speaker 5 (01:06:25):
But you know, they didn't promote that very well.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
I didn't know what's going on.

Speaker 6 (01:06:28):
Fox covered it a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
I didn't know until Tuesday morning. I didn't see it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Anywhere, and it didn't air on the regular Sunday sixteen minutes.

Speaker 6 (01:06:36):
No, it did not. It did not because she didn't
do well. I think it would have aired had she
done well, but she didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
And from what I've read, it was highly highly edited.

Speaker 6 (01:06:47):
Oh, even with the edits, it was it was bad.
She just doesn't answer questions.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
And you know, she.

Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
Has bound herself despite the fact that she wants to
turn the page, turn the page, turn the page. In
each of these interviews, she has tied herself back to
the Biden administration in the last three and a half years.
She said on the View that she would not change
the thing. She can't think of a thing that she
would change. I mean, that's a lot of disastrous that

(01:07:19):
opened order, you know, inflation, inflation, there's just so many
things that you know, the response to the tragedies. She
wouldn't change any of the Afghanistan, you know, Israel. There's
just so many things that she has tied herself to.
Interestingly enough, while she's doing this media blitz, did you

(01:07:40):
also see the undercutting by Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
Yeah, there's been litterle jabs.

Speaker 6 (01:07:46):
Yes, you know, when she was when she was supposed
to be doing a piece with the dock workers because
they put the strike on hold, Biden went into the
press conference room, which he hasn't done in four years,
and they covered him instead of of her, And.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
And he keeps tying her back to him.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
He does keep tying her back to him, and in
the last with the with the hurricane catastrophic mess that
we have, he said, I've been in touch with Desanis.
We're working well.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
And meanwhile as the president.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
As the president, you know, she would do better by
saying President Biden is working with Desanis. I am here
to support him, and I you know, I'm praying for
the victims if there's you know, and I'm awaiting direction
from him to see how I could be of help,
not attack Desanis. But for not taking her call, You're

(01:08:42):
not president, newsflash, you are not president well.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
And the other thing she could have said was governedanas
if if if I'm needed, please feel free to call
me or reach out to me or you know, whatever
it is.

Speaker 6 (01:08:54):
If there's anything that I can do to help. I mean,
she is just all criticism.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
She just doesn't know how to revert the like twist
the question and the answer to work and her yeah,
to pivot in her in her favor.

Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
Because she doesn't know anything. No, there is no, there's
there's nothing but rocks.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
It's very vapid, it's very.

Speaker 6 (01:09:17):
May not maybe not well, but the rocks are probably
keeping her down to the ground because not be floating
into the air.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
Well, the other one she appeared on, and she was
on the View. She was on Colbert drinking a beer
because you know that's what matters. And then she's appeared
on Stern Stern and the View and the View. But
the thing about Sir, and I said this to Otis
the other day, was he made a career on just
absolutely humiliating women. They were a tool for his success.
They were sexualized. They's just horrible what how he spoke

(01:09:49):
and what he did with women. But yet that's her
biggest platform, is how she's the the protector of women.
And she goes on his show and all of a sudden,
he's this political person, right.

Speaker 6 (01:10:00):
Oh yeah, right, despite his black face, white face.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
He's scared of his own shaw because he's afraid to
go in public because he's still afraid of COVID.

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
But his one big question to her was, well, you
see feel safe if Trump wins? Will you leave the country.
I'm sorry, I will not feel safe safe if she wins,
because we cannot take another four years of this now,
no possibly eight, right, And she's certainly the proper answer,
as they quote political candidate would have been absolutely not.

Speaker 6 (01:10:27):
This is a great country. It has so much to offer,
and I am planning to turn it around and make it.
She can't even pivot to her benefit. She is just
here are your talking points, go out, go forth with
your teleprojecter. And that's a whole other issue. When the
teleprompterric went off town, if you guys saw that, oh
yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
We can never hit it all, but we're out of
here on this Wednesday morning, Elgin. Thank you once again.
Glenn Beck up next.
