Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The number one tuck show in the Ohio Valley. 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.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
All right, let's talk some politics.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
As we always do it on a Monday with Jim
or and Acy, former Congressman Blue Daddy Show political analyst. Jim,
could you bring some warm weather in here, please? I mean,
I'm looking outside. I swear I saw a snowflake, miserable.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Well, he had some snow this morning. But you know,
it's not too far not too far down the road.
We should be gone with all that.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I love the optimism. What about optimism with these Trump tariffs.
You've got the Democrats losing their minds, you had protests
across the country. You've got the European Union now saying okay,
let's sit down, let's work something out. A couple other
nations are kind of standing up saying this. You get
the market dropping. I mean, what's your read on this
at this point in time.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Well, look, my read's always been the same. Certain When
there's no certainty and no predictability, businesses, markets, everything starts
to have a little bit of concern. And that's the
real key here. Not too many people are aware of
what the endgame here is. We all know what President
Trump's trying to do. The question is will it be
able to get accomplished? When will it get accomplished? If

(01:31):
they don't blink, is he going to take the tariffs down?
All of those things are the uncertainty and unpredictability that
many businesses that I'm talking to, but also the stock
market just does not like uncertainty and unpredictability.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
When you take a look at where we are right
now from an economic standpoint, And I talked to somebody
who said, this is a Republican democratic problem years into
making that. Experts have been saying this is coming for
a long time before Trump even won a lot of
financial experts we're calling for two hundred and five hundred
small banks to go out of business this year. I mean,

(02:09):
people have been predicting this even before Trump with what
he's trying to do. Do you see something that can
encourage a quick turnaround or is this going to be
long and painful?

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, Lork, I've said this all along. You know, there's
three things President Trump's trying to do. Number One, he's
trying to negotiate. I'm one hundred percent supporter of that.
Terriff's is the best use of Terras's negotiation. The second
thing is he's trying to pay down the national debt.
I don't think that's realistic and that's a problem. And
the third thing is he's trying to get companies back

(02:43):
into the United States. And I would agree with that.
I think that's a great idea and a great plan.
But here's the problem with him, Daddy. It's taken years
for companies to leave. It's going to take years for
companies to come back. You know, if you think about it.
I was just talking to a business in Ohio. There's
seventy employees short. They have one hundred and one hundred

(03:05):
and sixty employees that they could totally have. There's seventy short.
They're still trying to fill slots. Now, are you going
to be able to bring a manufacturing company in and
fill it with employees?

Speaker 5 (03:15):
No.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
The two things that we need in the United States
right now, of course one is a workforce, a solid workforce,
which means you need to have an immigration system that
allows for legal immigrants to come in. I say that
important legal immigrants to come in to work in many
of these jobs because the workforce is not here, and

(03:37):
our infrastructure, of course isn't prepared for it either. So
that's a long term problem. Can we get them back
with tariffs? Well, we can get people to think about
coming back. What I do like that President Trump is doing.
I've said this all along. You want to get companies
come back. Cut the tax rate. I mean when I
was in Congress, we cut it to twenty five. Just

(03:57):
think if you cut it to zero. Now I'm not
saying to cut it to zero. Well, I don't want
to en your listeners sell when Acy wants to eliminate
corporate income tax. But I can tell you if you
cut it to ten, or you cut it to twelve
instead of twenty five, twenty five is the average around
the world. Businesses will come back. If you have infrastructure,
business will come back, And if you have a workforce,
business will come back. I think that's the real key.

(04:20):
We're going to see what happens. But I don't think
this is a quick quick answer, which is one of
my biggest concerns about these tariffs. There's no quick answer.
It's going to be a long term process. And that's
why at some point in time President Trump's going to say, Okay,
I've negotiated better for us. I'm going to bring the
tariffs down. That's the only endgame he really has in

(04:41):
the short term, not the long term.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I'll tell you to former Congressman jimbern Acy. Jimmy say
the workforce isn't there, I would say it is. I
just saw a stat. We're over four million gen zers.
They're being called neats n EETs, meaning they're no longer
in education, employment, or training. They're not in school or work.
And it's not generational laziness. They're saying that. You know,

(05:04):
these are a lot of people with worthless degrees or
a system that's failing to deliver on its promise, meaning
about a quarter.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Of these young people are they're no longer.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
They don't have jobs, they're out of a tough job market.
So if this stuff comes back, we don't need the immigration.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, it's always a part of it, the legal immigration.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
But we've got over four million Gen z ers doing
nothing zero because what is it for them to do.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
There's no manufacturing.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I mean, ninety seven percent of our shoes are clothings
made overseas. I mean, I think the workforce is there,
but you need work for them.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, the only thing I would tell you is in
some areas or may be, but I can name companies
throughout Ohio that are struggling to fill their workforce, which
is one of the problems. Now, do we have eligible
people to work, Yes, are their programs that keep them
out of there are medicaid in some circumstances where you
can make a little bit more by not working full time.

(06:07):
There are all these things that have to be looked at.
But let's also face that the trend. It used to
be that the average couple would produce three and a
half children in a lifetime. Today, the average couple in
America producers one and a half. We are not. That's
why the baby boomer world, when everybody came back from

(06:27):
the service and we're having children. That's why all of
these baby boomers were able to fill the workforce. We're
missing that now. I do agree there are some people
that you know, their education is, you know, let's face
that they went into the wrong education, which is a
whole other issue. When I talked about infrastructure and work,
we should make sure people know, hey, if you go
to college and you get a degree in history, and

(06:49):
you know, you might not be able to take that
job in manufacturing or whatever. So there has to be
some of that as well. But I still think we
ultimately the numbers aren't there, and that's the real key.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Jim and I took a look around this weekend.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I saw people, you know, protesting all over the place
against fascism, you know, Elon and Trump. You don't own
the government, blah blah blah. Where were these people back
in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, yelling
about fascism and threats to democracy and everything else when
you had democratic governors shutting down states, arresting people for

(07:24):
going for a drive on a Sunday, people getting fired
if they didn't take a shot. I mean, you know,
obviously I could go down the list here.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Where the hell were these people then?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Is this just another example of when it's my guy,
it's okay, but when it's not my guy, it's not okay.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well, look, I was surprised to see the protests over
the weekend, but you got to remember there were protests
even when Trump was in office as well, for Trump one,
and then there were protests, you know, when Obama was
in office as well too, So we you know, I'm.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Talking about Biden during COVID, I mean, and there was
no bigger threat. I mean, democracy was stolen from the
American people. Yet I didn't see anybody out there, you know,
all these loonies out there protesting.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Then no, I would agree with you there. But and
again I don't know where they were, but they should
have been protesting at that point as well too. You know,
half the time, we didn't know what Biden was doing,
where Biden was at, and what his next decision was
going to be. It's one thing different with President Trump.
You know where he's going, you know where he's coming.
Sometimes you don't know where he's trying to get to

(08:31):
or how he's going to get there. But at least
he's pushing the country forward, and that's the positive. But
I would agree with you. You know, these protests will continue,
and I think it's it's their way of just quietly
preparing for twenty twenty six boom day. Let's say, here's
here's the worst thing that could happen with everything going
on with tariffs. President Trump is either going to be

(08:54):
very successful and twenty twenty six elections are going to
be very successful Republicans, or President Trump is not going
to be successful and twenty twenty six will not be
very successful for Republicans. It's very tough for the midterm
elections after a new president comes in for them to
hold the House in the Senate, that's going to be

(09:15):
real key. And I think that's what these protesters are
trying to just make sure they're engaging. My concern is
you're going to see these protesters all the way through
until twenty twenty six, just to remind people. And that's
why President Trump has to be successful to eliminate the
problems that could occur in the midterms.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
All right, before I let you go, European Commission president
said the European Union is ready to negotiate with Trump
over tariffs. This just broke not too long ago, saying
that they've offered zero for zero tariffs for industrial goods.
Let's look ahead a month from now, let's go two
months from now, Jim, what do you think we're talking
about Are we talking about these tariffs still being in place?

(09:55):
Are we talking about country after country after country backing
down and negotiating lower tariffs.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Well, here's I did read that, and I did get
that come across the wire. She has agreed for a
zero for tariffs on certain items, but she also said
that the other items there's going to have to be negotiation.
So I think what's going to happen. That's going to
happen across the board. Each one of these countries are
going to say, hey, let's look at this, let's look

(10:25):
at that. You know what. I go back from them, Daddy,
and I try and remind people President Trump did this
in twenty seventeen. We got to remember he threatened tariffs
and we wrote all new trade agreements Canada and Mexico,
a lot of trade agreements were rewritten. I'm assuming that
that's probably what's going to happen in the next four

(10:46):
or five or six months. The only difference is he
laid the tariffs out this time. He didn't do that
in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen. This time he laid
them out, So maybe the negotiations will be much better.
But I am hoping for everyone's sake that in four
or five months, that's exactly where we're at. Each one
of these countries comes to the table, we renegotiate things.

(11:06):
But I also don't think it'll be zero tariffs across
the board on both sides. Look, we tear of certain things,
they tear certain things. It's going to be a negotiation
and a final product. Hopefully we can get it done
in four to six months.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
All right, Jim, thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Thank you. Gret Eving.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
YouTube Jim or Nacy, former Congressman, bloom Daddy Show Politically.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
Welcome seven two on your Tuesday The bloom Daddy Experience.
Woke up, walked outside to take the dogs out, snow snow.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
I could have screamed. I could have screamed. Couldn't believe it. Anyways, Anyways,
I'm Sam, He's otis. This is the bloom Daddy Experience.
I'm gonna jump right into it. Yesterday, if you follow
our Facebook page, you got to see firsthand what I
got to experience. And of course I'm referring to the presentation,

(12:04):
and it wasn't a rally visit by Governor Tim Wallas.
Of course, he was the VP candidate on the Democratic
ticket for president. Found out yesterday from a avid listener
of our show. Once again, thank you for letting us
know about that. Made sure to be there to cover
it the only radio station there by the way, FYI.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
It was a very small room.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
It was a very small room. Now I could see
now I will paint the picture. It was at a
small house that sits across the street from the abandoned,
the shutdown Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel location in Martin's Ferry. We

(12:51):
were in the basement of this small house and it
is the location for the USWA United Steel Workers Association,
who was represented along with the UMWA, the Non Mine
Workers Association. I would guesstimate there was once the rank
and file of his team filled the building, I would

(13:14):
say there was roughly fifty folks there. Prior to that,
for the audience who was local, who was there early
before the rest of his entourage arrived, I would say
there was about thirty five people to yeah, thirty five roughly,
And I will be honest. I went in hoping to

(13:41):
learn something new, something that would make me take a
step back and say, okay, that's a valid point that's
a valid explanation way of thinking. When I left, and

(14:02):
I posted this, when I left, I honestly felt incredibly
sad for a lot of the folks in that crowd.
And here's what I mean by that. If you noticed
it was an older crowd, retiree age, I would say
late fifties and forward. These are folks and I have

(14:28):
folks like this in my life personally. These are folks
who when they became Democrats, they want to make the
world a better place. They believed in the message. And
when I say I'm sad or it made me sad,

(14:49):
is because they refuse or will not acknowledge, or will
not even consider that the Democratic Party that they have
support ordered their entire adult lives is no longer that party.
They're no longer the party of the people, the party
of the unions, the party to give a voice to

(15:10):
those who no longer have one. It's more about fulfilling
an internal belief that they are the good people. They
support the right side, which makes them the better, better people.

(15:31):
And there's a lot of things that I took away
from what I saw yesterday, But as I said, I
wanted to hear a message of something different. I wanted
to hear that the Democratic Party it learned from November.
That is not what I heard. They kept rehashing the
same old mantra, We're the working man's party, We're the

(15:53):
ones that care for everybody, and the Conservatives, the Republicans
are the evil billionaires. Was mentioned and people cheered, Yes,
they cheered vandalism, destruction, that's okay, all in the name
of what they think is right. The unions that were

(16:14):
there once again, the older generation of those unions, not
the young miners who are currently working, who are the
conservative side the majority. There's a lot to take away
from what was seen yesterday, but for a lot of
the unions, especially for the UMWA that was there. I

(16:38):
have a quote by two people, We're going to put
a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
That was in twenty sixteen by Hillary Clinton, a Democrat.
I may remind you America has lost eighty three thousand
fewer coal jobs, has fewer coal jobs and four hundred
coal mines that it did when Barack Obama was elected
in two thousand and eight, showing that the president and

(17:00):
it has followed through on his pledge to bankrupt the
coal industry, by the way, a Democratic president and for
those that want that referred to the gentleman outside Randy
as an idiot, Tim Walls, I invite you to sit

(17:20):
down and have a conversation with Randy, because I'm pretty
sure he would school you. Seven twenty eight. You're listening
to the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
So where USA Fencing disqualified a female fencer for refusing
to compete against a transgender opponent in Maryland.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
And I've got a buddy.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
We text back and forth and he's a liberal and
we go out it all the time, and he's like,
you know, you guys, all you care about.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Is transgenders and women's sports.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
There's only like eleven And I respond to him, well,
if your party didn't care more about transgenders than anything else,
maybe you'd still be in power.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
So I mean, it kind of goes both ways. But
I saw, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Read Cleveland dot Com all the time and it's so
liberal in their political leaning. But they wrote an article
calling out Republicans in the Ohio or it was a
podcast calling out Republicans.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
In the Ohio House saying that they're aiming a.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Budget bill with LGBTQ people, that they're using the budget
to attack LGBTQ issues.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
So what are they doing?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
What are Republicans now doing banning libraries from placing materials
related to sexual orientation and gender identity in areas where
miners might see them. Don't we do that with other
sexual material pertaining to minors. Doesn't that make sense not
to have something in there that's confusing or disgusting or

(18:48):
could could manipulate a young mind. I mean, there's a
reason we don't let people vote till they're eighteen. There's
a reason why we don't let miners make decisions their
parents do. But when it comes to this, the alphabet
people will want them to have full autonomy of decision making.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
That makes sense to me.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
How about prohibiting state agencies from flying Pride flags? I
think that state agencies should only fly the American flag.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
In the state flag? Should be it?

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Restricting funding for youth homeless shelters that affirm gender transition. Again,
we shouldn't be promoting something to young kids who don't
understand and establishing a state policy recognizing only two immutable
sexes there's a male and females. I hate to break
it to you. It's called listening to the science and
listening to biology. See, the problem is the LGBTQ community

(19:37):
doesn't want to be treated equal. They want to be
treated better. They want preferential treatment. They don't like being
told no because they've never been told no. They cry
like babies when they don't get their way because they
always get their way. There's no war against transgenders that's
made up to be the victim and get special treatment.

(19:59):
I mean, it's called sense. There's a male and a female.
You had a Republican refer to Trans Rep. Sarah McBride
as mister McBride, and you had a Democrat jump as
you know what this is Keith Selfer, Republican out of Texas.
He chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He referred to
the trans representative as mister McBride, and the ranking Democrat,

(20:19):
Bill Keating of Massachusetts jumps in and says, mister Chairman,
you're out of order. You have no decency. He has,
you know.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
What he has.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
He has a sense of reality, That's what he has.
The reality is this representative is a dude who wants
to be a woman. Okay, but that doesn't mean we
got to pretend that that's reality.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Because it's not. At the end of the day, it's
a dude.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
But see, reality is not decent to the crazy because
they made up their own reality where men are women
and women are men and there's thirty six genders. That
is not reality. And you don't have to continue playing
the game. You do not have to adhere to their reality.
Don't be bullied, don't be intimidated, don't do it because
it's all pretend. If they want to play pretend, that's

(21:11):
their choice, but they can't force that on you. And
if we play pretend, if we don't stand up for
true reality, this is what we get.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
A guy by the name of j. D. Holt.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
He goes by JD Terrapin on Facebook. He is on
the Mental Health Advisory Council out in Oregon. Do you
know what he is? He's a dude, but he uses
they them in turtle for his pronouns because he identifies
as a turtle. This is what you get when you

(21:45):
don't put your foot down. This is what you get
when you don't sit there and go we're not doing this,
We're not playing your sense of reality because it's not
He says he's a turtle gender. That is not reality.
You know what that is. That's nuts, that's crazy. That's
somebody who's insane or mentally ill. Let's start calling it

(22:06):
what it is. Let's get back to calling it what
it is and quit being forced to play virtual reality.
Or once again, you get this. A European woman who
was born white. She's getting injections to darken her skin
because she identifies as black. She's actually planning to move
to Africa with her husband. She's gonna get other cosmetic procedures.

(22:28):
She's planning on having her nose widened and her buttocks
enhanced before moving. Isn't that racist? That is somebody who's
mentally ill. Let's quit playing the game. Call it what
it is. If you're somewhere and let's say you're checking
out somewhere and there's a dude standing in front of

(22:51):
you and he's got Susie on his thing, and you say, sir,
can I help you? And he says I'm not a sir,
Say yes, you are in my world. You are quit
playing the game because there's a lot of sick people
out there, and if you play the game.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
You're part of the problem.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Well, otis, I forgot to tell you I identify as
a unicorn and I don't pass gas. It's sparkles. Oh okay,
just just enough one.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
Do you have little horn on your head today?

Speaker 6 (23:27):
So I want to go back to the first portion
of bloom Daddy's commentary. There the women in sports. Everybody
knows this is a huge passion of mine. I'm just
gonna read you some quick numbers. Let's see here. Male
athletes who call themselves women trans women have won over
three and thirty female athletic competitions. This does not include

(23:48):
non tournament team victory victories. They have finished first, second,
and third in female competitions at least two hundred and
forty six times. They have won over a one hundred
and thirty two state, three hundred and fourteen national, fifty
six continental, and eighty one women's world championships. They have

(24:08):
stolen over one point six million dollars in prize money
from female athletes. So if you try to tell me
that there is not an agenda behind these men pretending
to be women in women's athletics, you are blind. You
are blind, and you are ignorant, and you refuse to
accept the truth being a female is under attack. Now,

(24:34):
when we come to the trans topic in general, let
me ask you this. So, if your six year old
came up to you and said, Mommy, I want to
get a face tattoo, would you say, okay, honey, depending.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
On what it looks like, well yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
But would you be like, okay, honey, you had no problem.
You're six, But by god, you you can make an
adult decision.

Speaker 7 (24:57):
Like that, not just a face tat to any tattoo.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
Just right, I was being extreme, But it's okay that
we are allowing children to mutilate themselves, make the decision.
We are supporting that to completely upend and physically change
their anatomy for the rest of their lives.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
Well, let's not forget about the parents. The parents are
doing this.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Sure, they're influencing them, that.

Speaker 8 (25:26):
They're doing it so they can be they can be noticed.
Oh well, oh well, what happened to little Johnny? Well
little Johnny's not little Jane, what huh? And that next thing,
you know, what are they doing. They're talking about Susie
who made little Johnny Jane. And then Susie gets all
the she's getting all the attention because she's an idiot.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
It goes back to the self serving thought of because
I'm the most loving, I'm the most accepting. That makes
me a better person. That's not about the other person.
That's about making that person feel good about themselves. It's
not what is in the best interest. Here's my other question.
If you walked around and you saw somebody suffering from, say, schizophrenia,

(26:10):
and they're talking to somebody that's not there a delusion, right,
would you then continue the conversation with that delusion all
in support of this person unfortunately with a terrible mental illness. No, no,
you're not going to fall into that narrative. You're not

(26:30):
going to continue to support that delusion for somebody. So
why are we as a society supporting and pandering to
this mental illness? Why are we doing that? I'm sorry,
ladies and gentlemen, I live in reality. I'm going to

(26:51):
follow the science on this one. Boys are boys and
girls and girls. Mister Rogers said it right. If you
haven't seen that clip, go look it up, Go look
it up. But if you want to say follow the science,
let's follow the science and taking gander to what happened
the last month. Fencing man taking that over. A girl

(27:15):
finally stood up for herself. A disc golf girl refused
to throw as she walked away. People chanted, you know,
enjoy the couch. The girls are finally starting to stick
off for themselves. And I've got to say, congrats, congrats.
Oh boy gets me fired up. It gets me fired up.
It's seven forty six on your Tuesday, the bloom Ditty

I mean, most of the people took the number one
seeds to win the national championship. We had Florida, Houston, Duke.
We had two Saint John's, two Iowa states, and two
Michigan states to win it. So I mean everybody, I
mean either picked a one or two.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
So I have to defend my title. Yeah, this from
the person who There were a couple of matchups that
I chose. Who I chose because the name of the
school fit better on the line. That was my thinking.
And a lot of them.

Speaker 8 (33:14):
That reminds me of the Cheers episode where Diana picks.
Diane picks the the state the states with the most
dominant flowers.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
It wasn't even based on Masscot color or anything. It
was like, oh, Duke fits better here than Villanova or whatever.
The matchup was anyways, Yeah, so congrats, congrats to myself
and to our winner, Matt Matt. I was gonna say Scott.

Speaker 8 (33:41):
Matt sorry when Matt's dad said, it's a picture of
Matt with Riley Gaines. Since we were just talking.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
About Matt, I'm very jealous transgender Matt. I'm very, very jealous,
very jealous.

Speaker 8 (33:52):
Riley's not transgender, but she's fighting for women's.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
Yes, she has become the spokesperson for women athletics. I
would love to interview Ron love to interview Relly Gaines. Anyways,
So have you seen this speaking of unicorns a little bit.
We mentioned that earlier, the direwolf situation that they've brought back.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
Did you I saw the story. I didn't really read it.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
All right, we'll talk about we'll get it.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
We'll get into that in a little bit.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
Yeah, a little bit. But what here's my question to you.
They've brought it back, what else could they bring back?

Speaker 7 (34:25):
All I'm saying is Jurassic Park.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
It's seven fifty eight. You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience
salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy wwva.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Z number 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.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
News Radio eleven seven. It gets the Blue Daddy experience. Hey,
it's eighth six. Let's get this hour rolling. All right,
Let's talk some politics as we always do it on
Monday with Jim or and Acy, former Congressman, Blue Daddy
Show political analyst.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Jim. Could you bring some warm weather in here, please?

Speaker 2 (35:14):
I mean, I'm looking outside, I swear I saw a
snowflake miserable.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Well, he had some snow this morning. But you know,
it's not too far, not too far down the road.
We should be gone with all that.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I love the optimism. What about optimism with these Trump tariffs.
You've got the Democrats losing their minds. You had protests
across the country. You've got the European Union now saying okay,
let's sit down, let's work something out. A couple other
nations are kind of standing up saying this. You get
the market dropping. I mean, what's your read on this
at this point in time?

Speaker 4 (35:47):
Well, look, my read's always been the same certain When
there's no certainty and no predictability, businesses, markets, everything starts
to you know, have a little bit of concern. And
that's the real key here. Not too many people are
aware of what the endgame here is. We all know
what President Trump's trying to do. The question is will
it be able to get accomplished? When will it get accomplished?

(36:10):
If they don't blink, is he going to take the
tariffs down? All of those things are the uncertainty and
unpredictability that many businesses that I'm talking to, but also
the stock market just does not like uncertainty and unpredictability.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
When you take a look at where we are right
now from an economic standpoint, And I talked to somebody
who said, this is a Republican democratic problem.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Years into making that.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Experts have been saying this is coming for a long
time before Trump even won. A lot of financial experts,
we're calling for two hundred and five hundred small banks
to go out of business this year. I mean people
have been predicting this even before Trump with what he's
trying to do.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
Do you see something that can.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Encourage a quick turnaround or is this going to be
long and painful.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Well, look, I've said this all along. You know, there's
three things President Trump's trying to do. Number One, he's
trying to negotiate. I'm one hundred percent supporter of that.
Terrafts is the best use of Terrace's negotiation. The second
thing is he's trying to pay down the national debt.
I don't think that's realistic, and that's the problem. And
the third thing is he's trying to get companies back

(37:22):
into the United States. And I would agree with that.
I think that's a great idea and a great plan.
But here's the problem with him, Daddy. It's taken years
for companies to leave. It's going to take years for
companies to come back, you know, if you think about it.
I was just talking to a business in Ohio. There's
seventy employees short. They have one hundred and one hundred

(37:44):
and sixty employees so that they could totally have there's
seventy short. They're still trying to fill slots. Now, are
you going to be able to bring a manufacturing company
in and fill it with employees?

Speaker 10 (37:54):
No.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
The two things that we need in the United States
right now, of course, one is a workforce, a solid workforce,
which means you need to have a immigration system that
allows for legal immigrants to come in. I say that
important legal immigrants to come in to work in many
of these jobs because the workforce is not here, and

(38:16):
our infrastructure, of course isn't prepared for it either. So
that's a long term problem. Can we get them back
with tariff, Well, we can get people to think about
coming back. What I do like that President Trump is doing.
And I've said this all along. You want to get
companies come back. Cut the tax rate. I mean when
I was in Congress, we cut it to twenty five.

(38:36):
Just think if you cut it to zero. Now, I'm
not saying to cut it to zero. I don't want
to end your listeners. Sell vern Acy wants to eliminate
corporate income tax. But I can tell you if you
cut it to ten, or you cut it to twelve
instead of twenty five, twenty five is the average around
the world. Businesses will come back. If you have infrastructure,
business will come back, And if you have a workforce,
business will come back. I think that's the real key.

(38:59):
We're going to see what happens. But I don't think
this is a quick quick answer, which is one of
my biggest concerns about these tariffs. There's no quick answer.
It's going to be a long term process. And that's
why at some point in time President Trump's going to say, Okay,
I've negotiated better for us. I'm going to bring the
tariffs down. That's the only end game he really has

(39:20):
in the short term, not the long term.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I'm telling you to former Congressman jimern Ac, Jimmy say
the workforce isn't there, I would say it is. I
just saw a stat where over four million gen Zers
they're being called neats n EETs, meaning they're no longer
in education, employment, or training. They're not in school or work.
And it's not generational laziness. They're saying that. You know,

(39:44):
these are a lot of people with worthless degrees or
a system that's failing to deliver on its promise. Meaning
about a quarter of these young people are are they're
no longer, they don't have jobs, they're out of a
tough job market. So if this stuff comes back, we
don't need the the immigration. I mean, it's always a
part of it, the legal immigration. But we've got over

(40:05):
four million gen z ers doing nothing zero Because what
is it for them to do.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
There's no manufacturing.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
I mean, ninety seven percent of our shoes are clothings
made overseas. I mean, I think the workforce is there,
but you need work for them.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Well, the only thing I would tell you is in
some areas there may be. But I can name companies
throughout Ohio that are struggling to fill their workforce, which
is one of the problems. Now, do we have eligible
people to work? Yes, are there programs that keep them
out of there? Is there medicaid in some circumstances where
you can make it a little bit more by not

(40:44):
working full time. There are all these things that have
to be looked at. But let's also face it. The trend.
It used to be that the average couple would produce
three and a half children in a lifetime. Today, the
average couple in America producers one and a half. We
are not. That's why the baby boomer world, when everybody

(41:05):
came back from the service and we're having children. That's
why all of these baby boomers were able to fill
the workforce. We're missing that now. I do agree. There
are some people that you know, their education is, you know,
let's face that they went into the wrong education, which
is a whole other issue. When I talked about infrastructure
and work, we should make sure people know, hey, if

(41:25):
you go to college and you get a degree in history,
and you know, you might not be able to take
that job in manufacturing or whatever. So there has to
be some of that as well. But I still think
we ultimately the numbers aren't there, and that's the real key.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Jim and I took a look around this weekend.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
I saw people, you know, protesting all over the place
against fascism, you know, Elon and Trump. You don't own
the government, blah blah blah. Where were these people back
in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, yelling
about fascism and threats to democracy and everything else when
you had democratic governors shutting down states, arresting people for

(42:03):
going for a drive on a on a Sunday, people
getting fired if they didn't take a shot. I mean,
you know, obviously I could go down the list here.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Where the hell were these people? Then?

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Is this just another example of when it's my guy,
it's okay, but when it's not my guy, it's not okay.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Well, look, I was surprised to see the protests over
the weekend. But you got to remember there were protests
even when Trump was in office as well, for Trump one,
and then there were protests, you know, when Obama was
in office as well too, So we uh, you know.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
I'm talking about Biden during COVID. I mean, there was
no bigger threat.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
I mean democracy was stolen from the American people. Yet
I didn't see anybody out there, you know, all these
loonies out there protesting, then.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
No, I would agree with you there, but and again
I don't know where they were, but they should have
been protesting at that point as well too. You know,
half the time we didn't know what By was doing,
Whereby and was at, and what his next decision was
going to be. It's one thing different with President Trump.
You know where he's going, you know where he's coming.
Sometimes you don't know where he's trying to get to

(43:10):
or how he's going to get there. But at least
he's pushing the country forward, and that's the positive. But
I would agree with you. You know, these protests will continue,
and I think it's their way of just quietly preparing
for twenty twenty six. Boom Daley. Let's say here's the
worst thing that could happen with everything going on with tariffs.

(43:31):
President Trump is either going to be very successful and
twenty twenty six elections are going to be very successful Republicans,
or President Trump is not going to be successful and
twenty twenty six will not be very successful for Republicans.
It's very tough for the mid term elections after a
new president comes in for them to hold the House

(43:53):
in the Senate, that's going to be real key. And
I think that's what these protesters are trying to just
make sure they're engaging. Concern is you're going to see
these protesters all the way through until twenty twenty six,
just to remind people. And that's why President Trump has
to be successful to eliminate, you know, the problems that
could occur in the midterms.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
All right, before I let you go, European Commission president
said the European Union is ready to negotiate with Trump
over tariffs. This just broke not too long ago, saying
that they've offered zero for zero tariffs for industrial goods.
Let's look ahead a month from now, let's go two
months from now, Jim, what do you think we're talking about?

(44:32):
Are we talking about these tariffs still being in place,
orre we talking about country after country after country backing
down and negotiating lower tariffs.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Well, here's I did read that, and I did get
that come across the wire. She has agreed for a
zero for service tariffs on certain items, but she also
said that the other items there's going to have to
be negotiation. So I think what's going to happen. That's
going to happen across board. Each one of these countries
are going to say, hey, let's look at this, let's

(45:04):
look at that.

Speaker 6 (45:05):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
I go back from Daddy and I try and remind
people President Trump did this in twenty seventeen. We got
to remember he threatened tariffs and we wrote all new
trade agreements Canada and Mexico, a lot of trade agreements
were rewritten. I'm assuming that that's probably what's going to
happen in the next four or five or six months.

(45:26):
The only difference is he laid the tariffs out this time.
He didn't do that in twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen.
This time he laid them out. So maybe the negotiations
will be much better. But I am hoping for everyone's
sake that in four or five months. That's exactly where
we're at. Each one of these countries comes to the table,
we renegotiate things. But I also don't think it'll be

(45:48):
zero tariffs across the board on both sides. Look, we
tear of certain things, they tear certain things. It's going
to be a negotiation and a final product. Hopefully we
can get it done in four to six months.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
All right, Jim, thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
YouTube Jim er Nacy, former Congressman. Bloo Daddy Show Political Analysts,
Hey twenty.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Two, Welcome back to the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and
Otis News Radio eleven seventy wwva Otis. That makes me
think of blink on a little bit. Okay, kind of
got that sound. We're going to turn the page a
little bit here on the political talk. We're going to
talk health, something that Otis has been working on, I've
been working on. So joining us in studio, we have

(46:31):
doctor Daniel Shatz, a local gastro entrologist.

Speaker 10 (46:34):
Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
Did I say that right? Gastro?

Speaker 10 (46:37):
And you got it?

Speaker 6 (46:39):
Pay perfect.

Speaker 10 (46:39):
It's a tough one.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
This is a tough one.

Speaker 7 (46:42):
It is really for her.

Speaker 6 (46:43):
Yes, yes, I get tongue tied every once in a while,
but I did not mess up the last name doctor
shadd You got it right, which, by the way, is
the perfect last name for the job.

Speaker 10 (46:52):
I don't get it.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
Oh oh goodness, great marketing material. I'll just leave it
at that, great marketing material. So I want to hit
on this first, So just real quick, we're just going
to touch on this. You recently parted ways with East
High Regional Hospital, that's right, prior to the closure.

Speaker 10 (47:15):
Prior to so for somebody.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
Who left before it got to the dire situation, did
you see any signs?

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (47:23):
Yeah, the warning signs were all there. You know, important
equipment we couldn't get repaired, you know, techn medical equipment,
and all the way down to the small things like
toner for the printer, we couldn't get ordered, trash collection,
that sort of thing. So it became very clear. And

(47:45):
then when it reached a level of not getting the
compensation for my job, that or there was kind of
you know, some wiggling around and no, no but this
and that, it became very clear that there was a
cash flow issue and it was time to move on.

Speaker 6 (48:01):
And you made that decision, and you have officially moved
on and have opened a new location in Saint Clairsville.

Speaker 10 (48:07):
Correct, that's right, yep. We're just down the street from
where I was before on National Road. It's just down
from the Respex Plaza. The address is four six eight
nine eight National Road West and is just past the
country Club. And so we're close by and happy to
be back back in business.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
So let's talk about what is gastro enterology first of.

Speaker 10 (48:33):
All, So this is the specialty that deals with the
entire digestive system from the moment you swallow to the
moment that you're in the bathroom, and everything in between.
Also including organs such as the liver. Liver diseases is
under the same category pancreatic diseases and all the digestive processes. Yeah,

(48:58):
it's all part of gastro and are all.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
It tends to be a bit of a taboo subject,
you know, but we all do it, let's be honest.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (49:06):
Well yeah, for some taboo. For some, it's a favorite
topic of conversation. So you know, we all spend a
lot of time thinking about our stomachs. Ye, everybody has
a stomach issue at some point or another. So there
you go. I mean, what better place to be.

Speaker 6 (49:21):
Is there a difference between the male and female digestive system?
And do you see more issues within males or within females.

Speaker 10 (49:32):
Well, the number of issues is about equal. There are differences.
For example, a condition which is very common, irritable bowel syndrome.
For example, this is a condition where we've done all
the checks, we've looked at everything, we can't find a
single thing wrong. Yet you're still in pain, you're still
having diarrhea, still having constipation, and it really comes down

(49:52):
to a sensitivity in the nerves. This is something that
we see more often in females. And it's not that
it's not real, it's very real. It's just a condition
where we can't find an organic cause of the problem
and it boils down to a sensitivity in the intestinal system.

(50:17):
So there are definitely some differences also anatomically, you know,
we do endoscopies, colonoscopy, upper endoscopy. The female anatomy tends
to be a little bit more windy, let's say, sometimes
a little bit more challenging.

Speaker 6 (50:35):
We're tricky creatures, a little.

Speaker 10 (50:37):
Bit tricky to navigate sometimes. But nevertheless, you know, we
we do well well.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
And of course, just real quick, colon cancer Colon Cancer
Awareness Months was actually last month. We missed the boat
on that a little bit. But quick, what are the
best ways to test and stay upon that? Just real quick.

Speaker 10 (50:58):
Yeah, So colon cancer is the number three most common
cancer there's in the United States. There's breast and prostate
is one, then long and then the number three is
colon cancer. So it's extremely common. The best way to
prevent colon cancer is to have a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is

(51:19):
such a great test that all of the health authorities
have said everybody, one hundred percent of the population needs
to be screened starting at age forty five, because it
is the only screening test you know. You compare it
to screening for prostate. You compare it to ladies who
get their mammograms. Though all of those screening tests hope

(51:42):
to catch cancer early, early enough that you don't die
from it. Whereas a colonoscopy we look for polyps and
take them off and we prevent a cancer from ever occurring.

Speaker 6 (51:52):
It's the easiest and most preventable.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
It's the it's completely preventable. Yes, and compare it to
other screening tests like you know, Colo guard, which is
the poop in a box? These have you know, people
a part of this, right poop in a box, So
these things have a mis rate.

Speaker 6 (52:13):
It's not as effect well, doctor Schatz, thank you so
much for stopping in this morning again. New location out
in Saint Clairsville. It's eight twenty eight. The bloom Daddy experience.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
I saw where USA Fencing disqualified a female fencer for
refusing to compete against a transgender opponent in Maryland.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
And I've got a buddy.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
We text back and forth and he's a liberal and
we go out it all the time, and he's like,
you know, you guys, all you care about is transgenders
and women's sports. There's only like eleven And I respond
to him, well, if your party didn't care more about
transgenders than anything else, maybe you'd still be in power.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
So I mean, it kind of goes both ways. But
I saw, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Read Cleveland dot com all the time and it's so
liberal in their political leaning. But they wrote an article
calling out Republicans in the Ohiose or it was a
podcast calling out Republicans in the Ohio House, saying that
they're aiming a budget bill with LGBTQ people that they're
using the budget to attack LGBTQ issues, So.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
What are they doing?

Speaker 2 (53:15):
What are Republicans House doing banning libraries from placing materials
related to sexual orientation and gender identity in areas where
miners might see them. Don't we do that with other
sexual material pertaining to minors. Doesn't that make sense not
to have something in there that's confusing or disgusting or

(53:38):
could manipulate a young mind. I mean, there's a reason
we don't let people vote till they're eighteen. There's a
reason why we don't let miners make decisions their parents do.
But when it comes to this, the alphabet people want
them to have full autonomy of decision making.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
That makes sense to me.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
How about prohibiting state agencies from flying Pride flags? I
think that state agencies s you'ld only fly the American
flag in the state flag?

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Should be it?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Restricting funding for youth homeless shelters that affirm gender transition. Again,
we shouldn't be promoting something to young kids who don't
understand and establishing a state policy recognizing only two immutable sexes.
There's a male and females. I hate to break it
to you. It's called listening to the science and listening
to biology. See, the problem is the LGBTQ community doesn't

(54:27):
want to be treated equal. They want to be treated better.
They want preferential treatment. They don't like being told no
because they've never been told no. They cry like babies
when they don't get their way because they always get
their way. There's no war against transgenders that's made up
to be the victim and get special treatment. I mean,

(54:49):
it's called common sense. There's a male and a female.
You had a Republican refer to Trans Rep. Sarah McBride
as mister McBride, and you had a Democrat jump as
you you know what this is Keith Selfer, Republican out
of Texas. He chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He
referred to the trans representative as mister McBride, and the
ranking Democrat, Bill Keating of Massachusetts jumps in and says,

(55:12):
mister chairman, you're out of order. You have no decency.
He has, you know what he has. He has a
sense of reality, That's what he has. The reality is
this representative is a dude who wants to be a woman. Okay,
but that doesn't mean we got to pretend that that's

(55:33):
reality because it's not.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
At the end of the day, it's a dude.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
But see, reality is not decent to the crazy because
they've made up their own reality where men are women
and women are men and there's thirty six genders. That
is not reality. And you don't have to continue playing
the game. You do not have to adhere to their reality.
Don't be bullied, don't be intimidated, don't do it because
it's all pretend. If they want to play, they pretend

(56:00):
that's their choice, but they can't force that on you.
And if we play pretend, if we don't stand up
for true reality, this is what we get.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
A guy by the name of j. D. Holt.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
He goes by JD Terrapin on Facebook. He is on
the Mental Health Advisory Council out in Oregon. Do you
know what he is? He's a dude, but he uses
they them in turtle for his pronouns because he identifies
as a turtle.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
This is what you get when you don't put your
foot down.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
This is what you get when you when you don't
sit there and go we're not doing this we're not
playing your your sense of reality because it's not He says,
he's a turtle gender. That is not reality. You know
what that is. That's nuts, that's crazy. That's somebody who's
insane or mentally ill. Let's start calling it what it is.

(56:56):
Let's get back to calling it what it is and
quit being forced to play virtual reality. Or once again,
you get this. A European woman who is born white.
She's getting injections to darken her skin because she identifies
as black. She's actually planning to move to Africa with
her husband. She's gonna get other cosmetic procedures. She's planning

(57:18):
on having her nose widened and her buttocks enhanced before moving.
Isn't that racist? That is somebody who's mentally ill. Let's
quit playing the game. Call it what it is. If
you're somewhere and let's say you're checking out somewhere and

(57:39):
there's a dude standing in front of you and he's
got Susie on his thing, and you say, sir, can
I help you?

Speaker 3 (57:45):
And he says I'm not a sir. Say yes, you are.
In my world. You are quit playing the game.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Because there's a lot of sick people out there and
if you play the game, you're part of the problem.

Speaker 6 (58:01):
And the problem just continues to grow. It really does
this conversation, whether we're talking about the category of female sports,
talking about trans in general. If you have or had
an Adam's Apple, if you have or had twig and berries,

(58:22):
doesn't matter. You're still male. You are still male. Once again,
follow the science. And last time I checked, if you
go to Spirit of Halloween in October, there is not
a costume that says female because we are not a
costume or costume. We are women. We have fought for

(58:48):
years for equality, whether it's business, whether it's athletics, or
just culturally in general. And there is an entire group
of people that are standing back, accepting the loss, accepting
the uniqueness of being female to be trampled on, to

(59:12):
be taken advantage of, and for weak minded, unsuccessful males
to step into a sport, for example, because they can't
compete in their own level and in their own category
of a sport. They call themselves a woman so they
can get ahead. And that's the sad part. There are

(59:36):
people that are willing to accept that, people like Mark
Cuban that recently spoke out saying, you know, it's only
a small percentage of the population. That's where it starts. Mark,
that's where it starts. And for those who disagree with me,
I ask you this, Do you want your eight year

(59:56):
old in the locker room with a guy? Do you,
as a grown woman, want to be in a locker
room with a guy? I don't. Do you want to
be sitting in a stall next to a guy? I don't.
I want my own safe space. And that's what this

(01:00:18):
all goes to. I mean, otis you and I were
talking about the two quote unquote women in the pool
tournament that made it a to a particular high level.
What was it called the championship?

Speaker 8 (01:00:32):
Yeah, it was a championship match for the for the
women's division of some kind of a pool tournament, and
that was a tag and two transgendered males made it
to the finals.

Speaker 6 (01:00:42):
And see, that's what eventually is going to happen if
we continue to let this go on. What is eventually
going to happen is exactly what happened in this pool
tournament where when it comes down to two final competitors, say,
in a sport like this where it's an individual sport,
they're both going to end up being me. So for
these two who thought, oh, I'm gonna call myself a

(01:01:04):
woman and I'm gonna get ahead and I'm gonna win
the championship and take home the prize pot, well guess what,
there was another one that had the same idea, and
you ended up having to face against each other because
once again, you are a dude. You cannot change it.
You will remain a dude. And for parents of young

(01:01:24):
girls out there who will not stand up and fight
for this, I feel sorry for your daughters. I feel
sorry for your daughters because once again it goes back
to the fact that we as women have fought for
generations for equality, to be treated the same and respected

(01:01:47):
the same, and have a fair playing field. And because
of a really really squeaky wheel, generations of fighting, generations
of women's hard work and pride is being ripped out
from underneath them and trampled upon so that once again,
weak minded, unsuccessful males can get ahead in this world,

(01:02:12):
again trampling on women. And after that, I have to
go fix my lipstick. It's eight forty five The bloom

Right now, we're trying to be the tearri pricing because
you know it's it's coming. It's gonna increase the price
to vehicles. So take advantage of the pricing that we
have right now. Both of the Honda stores, you know
there's one at the one at the Highlands and Mountaineer Honda.
We got additional immage toy that's coming specifically for this.

(01:04:02):
It's also free tariff. The Nissan store, the Hyundai store,
everything is clearly sell priced full line right. Both of
our Price or Dodge de fram stores and our Forward
store have come out with employee pricing all right. We
haven't had employee pricing ODIs since what two thousand and eight? Yeah, okay,

(01:04:28):
and that was done to stimulate the economy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Well this is this is.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Me for not making my own bright All right, I
heard you this morning talking to me when I'm not around.

Speaker 8 (01:05:23):
Well, guess what you didn't for you you admitted that
you didn't make your own bracket.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
I got assistance from a fan, from a huge basketball fer,
Billy Gibbs. He let me down.

Speaker 8 (01:05:35):
Well that's because you told him to pick Auburn.

Speaker 5 (01:05:39):
Tell him, I just said it needs to be offered.

Speaker 7 (01:05:42):
Okay, let me.

Speaker 6 (01:05:43):
Down one one day. I'll teach him how to win
with grace. It is true.

Speaker 7 (01:05:49):
She's not talking to me.

Speaker 6 (01:05:51):
I am talking to your We'll see Kevin.

Speaker 7 (01:05:54):
See Kevin. There you have it.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
Oh, so I mentioned earlier the the direwolf, Well, once extinct,
now they are saying it is returned. There's a tech
firm that says that they use DNA from a thirteen
thousand year old tooth to bring back this extinct breed
of wolf called a dire wolf. Now, for me, who
is a fan of Game of Thrones, I thought it

(01:06:20):
was just a Game of Thrones character. I didn't know
they were actual, real things while they're thirteen thousand years old.
Researchers started with the remains found in uh In, Ohio
and Idaho. The cells were cloned and then bred using
a gray wolf, which is the closest living relative. Now
they are saying that the wooly mammoth could be next.

(01:06:43):
There's a great idea.

Speaker 7 (01:06:45):
All I can say is Jurassic Park.

Speaker 6 (01:06:48):
Yeah, next it'll be we learn. Next it'll be the
Velociraptor and everything else. Gosh almighty.

Speaker 8 (01:06:55):
Well, if you, if you, if you're a fan of
Skinwalker Ranch as I am. They've had direwolf references in
Skinwalker Ranch because there was a cow I believe, that
had a bone that was that was bit into, and
the only tooth that could have done it was a tooth.

Speaker 7 (01:07:16):
From a direwolf.

Speaker 6 (01:07:17):
A bone was bit into.

Speaker 7 (01:07:18):
Yeah, there was a hole in the bone.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
Geez.

Speaker 8 (01:07:21):
And then they found as they were walking through the
stream on Skinwalker Ranch, they found the carcass of a
diary like a baby direwolf.

Speaker 6 (01:07:31):
Really and these people are saying it hasn't been around
for thirteen thousand years.

Speaker 8 (01:07:36):
And doctor Travis Taylor, who is like smarter than everybody
that listens to this show, plus me, you and about
one hundred million other.

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
People, put him and Elon Muskin a round.

Speaker 5 (01:07:48):
No.

Speaker 8 (01:07:48):
No, I mean, well, yeah, that'd be weird. But he
even said there's no he said he there said, there's
no explanation for it.

Speaker 6 (01:07:58):
He has said that about a lot of things that
he's experienced on that ranch. Oh yeah, what would you
bring back if you could?

Speaker 7 (01:08:07):
