Speaker 1 (00:01):
Indeed number one touch 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 SEVENTYWVA starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I want to bring on Major General Bob.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Dyes, especialist on national security issue's former commander of the
US Israeli Joint Task Force for Missile Defense, Midge General,
thanks for being on the show once again. Trump's pushing
for world peace.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Do you think he can achieve it?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Well, I think that's a broad goal, bloom Daddy. Good
to be with you again. Seems like we just talked
a lot of water under the bridge in a short time. No, yeah, yeah,
I mean that's a logical thing for him to try
to do. Obviously, it hadn't been achieved in any of
our lifetimes. But you know, I think his approach is

(01:03):
better and that he subscribes to peace versus strength. Neville Chamberlain,
as I recall, who when he appeased the Nazis, was
using the term world peace so you know, you've got
to be careful what terms you throw around, and then
more importantly, how you back them up.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Can there ever be world peace with a regime like Iran?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
No, I don't think so, you know. Frankly, when I
was working counter terrorism and stuff, I sort of came
to the conclusion that you have to defeat or destroy
the radicals, and then you work with moderates in the
middle of the road and you can make progress. But
there are some people, some nations, some despots around the

(01:46):
world that they just have to be defeated because they're
not willing to bend or accommodate. They have to be broken.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Major General, I'm still trying to figure out if there's
a ceasefire. When I went off the air yesterday at
seven o'clock, there was a ceasefire. It was going to
be called the twelve Day War. Trump was saying it's over,
and then all of a sudden, I wake up today
and I don't know where we stand, do you?

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, no, I don't, But I do know that ceasefires
are precarious, particularly in the early hours, and so it
would be very unusual if there hadn't been some type
of charge and counter charge about violations of the ceasefire.
It takes a lot to get everybody on a particular
side of the field to cease immediately. You know, Trump

(02:30):
said it may have been a mistake, it may have
been an attack by the Iranians, but it was impotent
either way, and so as a result, I think that
you know that, I don't see it as a danger
signal yet. I think tonight, what does tonight look like?
What did the next few days look like? That's what's

(02:52):
really going to tell whether Iran is standing up on
the inside or not. We need to be wise about
that aspect of it. And I know where my untoring them,
and frankly Lumdetti, I think the biggest threat is our
domestic threat. We have uncounted numbers of Iranian sleeper cells
and Iranian dissidents within our country. Some of them are

(03:12):
here just by living their lives. Some of them are
very intentionally placed and trained and have ulterior motives. So
we'll see how nefarious they are in the next few days.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
What's the best way to combat what you just talked about.
Just be diligent. People, keep their eyes open, report any
suspicious activity.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Sure it's the typical see something, say something. The integration
of all of our elements of government, to the Department,
Homeland Security, FBI, local law enforcement, all of that is
critical to actually, you know, quelling any of the domestic
threats that exist. I think it's I do think that's
our most significant threat. However, the ceasefire, They're going to

(03:57):
work that one way or another. It's not an existential
threat to the United States, and at this point it's
not existential to Israel, but it could be existential, you know,
if we have, you know, uprisings within our own country
after nine to eleven, I saw a lot of the
sleeper sales that were in our country. It was startling,
and that was twenty five years ago.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's scary what you just said.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Talking to Major General Bob d specialists on nationalist security issues,
former commander US Israeli Joint Task Force for Missile Defense.
Trump ordering the strike the strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Were those strikes justified?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
And would we would we be talking Cespire if he
didn't order them?

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I think your last question, no, we wouldn't be that
they were justified. There's always a War Powers Act author
as something called aumth authorization of use of military force
debate when something like this happens. But this is of
such short duration. This is not a war, this is
not a lengthy Certainly Obama, Others, Reagan, Clinton all did

(05:05):
things like this without asking Congress first, and so I
think he's on solid footing.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
To your point, and you were in the military at
this time. I mean, Obama ordered in his final year
of office, four hundred ninety six strikes against Libya not
approved by Congress.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So it's a little disingenuous for the
Democrats to be all of a sudden saying that that
standard ought to apply to a Republican president who's done
far less. I love the strike he gave. That was important.
I frankly, there's a lot of people talking on the

(05:43):
internet about Trump's colorful language this morning, but I thought
that was ever bit as brilliant in leadership as it
was as the strike itself was. Because this morning the
Israelis were headed to attack the Iranians. Jets were already
in the air. Trump threw a little Kiddi fit, but

(06:03):
it was for a purpose, and Netna who heard and
turned the jets around, so that escalation immediately during the
ceasefar did not happen simply because of Trump's leadership.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Your years of service nineteen seventy two through two thousand
and three, obviously you served under Republican and Democratic presidents.
Looking back, do you think the years of appeasement, eight
years under Obama, the four years with Biden and any
other president toward Iran has led us to this point?
Do you think now trying to reason with them, have

(06:39):
inspectors go in, trust them, play nice with him was
a huge mistake.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Well, no doubt. In my mind it was a huge mistake,
And for me, the biggest cost was Iranian involvement in
Iraq and their participation in the roadside bombs, literally killing
hundreds thousands of US service members directly and indirectly. And
then they're funding of the surrogates and Obama's empowerment of

(07:06):
that by giving them billions and billions of dollars to
fund Hamas, to fund Hesbillah, Huthi, et cetera. So the
Israelis have done a great job standing these people down,
but that was all somewhat unnecessary. If we had contained
controlled Iran from the very start.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Do you think we should even be talking ceasefire or
should Israel and US to an extent, just continue until
the job is finished.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, I think ceasefire is an important technique. You know,
Trump the leader of the free world, and he at
least I think, should be working towards peace, not continued war.
That said, I think the destruction that's already been rigged

(07:57):
upon the Iranians by Israel and America has defeated them. So,
you know, you look at things and elements in national power.
You've got political, military, economic, informational, etc. On the military side,
the Iran is defeated. Their capability has been largely defeated,

(08:18):
and their intent. They're still standing up on the inside,
but it doesn't matter if they don't have the capability.
And in political you look across the world stage, people
in general are supporting Trump's actions to stand down Iran.
Now there's some European leaders that are a point of
finger at him, but that's in my mind not valid.

(08:42):
And also Democrats.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, last question, I go ahead for you.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
You're the former commander of the US Israeli Joint Task
Force for Missile Defense. Was there any question in your
mind that Israeli missile defenses would stand up to any
barrage from Iran.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Well, there's only question, not because of the the integration
of the air defense or the skill of the Israelis,
but you get into a logistics factor before too long,
because of the volume of the missiles coming at them,
ammunition supply of their various weapon systems becomes problematic. So yes,

(09:19):
the concern was was not the weapon systems, but was
the ammunition supply of those. And I think gratefully they
were able to stand the threat without running out of things.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Major General.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Always appreciate talking to you and keep up your great
work with the National Center for Healthy Veterans in Virginia.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
You too, thank you Healthy Veterans dot org. Bloom Daddy
appreciate your shout out.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Well seven one good Wednesday morning, folks, thank you for
tuning in the bloom Daddy experience. OTIS and Sam News
Radio eleven seventy WWVA. It is a Wednesday, so we're
gonna kick it off with this. It so now your
chance to register for your chance to win free lunch
all courtesy of our friends at River City. All you

(10:14):
need to do is email Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name,
phone number and business and that will be your registration
and of course we will get that winner at the
end of the show. Again, that's Sam at iHeartMedia dot
Com for your chance to win free lunch delivered by

(10:36):
us on Friday. And we just need name, phone number,
and business. So simple as that. And it feeds ten folks.
So even if you have eleven I'm thinking, or twelve
folks in your office or your your business. There's yeah,
there's plenty. There's plenty, So let's do that. Otis, did

(10:58):
you survive the heat yesterday, because it's not over.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I did. It was a little warm, but I survived.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Your garage did not.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's because I left my garage door open. Yes, we see, Yeah,
I was pulling some stuff out. I had my cardio
drum stuff in the garage. I opened it up, took
it up to the car, never shut the garage door,
so it was open from probably about four point thirty
in the afternoon until I walked out the door this
morning and saw that it was open. So there could

(11:29):
be critters in my garage.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
I mean, I don't they're trying to beat the heat
too well. I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
I went downstairs. My downstairs is normally like pretty chill,
you know, and it's normally about ten to fifteen degrees
cooler than the upstairs. Very no humidity whatsoever. And I
was like, man, it's kind of humid down here today.
I can't figure out why.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Well, that'll do it.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
When you walk outside and see that your garage doors open,
that'll that'll kind of.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Do it to you.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Well, speaking of the heat, here's a little bit of
a hand trick that can actually quickly cool your body
when the heat gets the best of you. The secret
is applying something cold to your pulse points. They are there,
your natural cooling points on your body. They're like basically
build in air conditioners, so they the locations are Some

(12:19):
of these are the major artery on your neck right
behind your knee, the side of your head which or
your temple areas, and the the thumb side of your wrist.
So if you need to cool down quickly, those are
a couple points to just put on a cold compress

(12:39):
or if you have an ice cube something like that
to kind of drop your your body temperature a bit.
You know, I couldn't help but think yesterday and Monday
about the folks that are volunteering, and uh, those that were,
of course impacted by the flooding week and a half ago.

(13:01):
Now at this point and that heat, and I just
I can't imagine what it's been like the past couple days.
And you know, there's still help needed. There really is.
The United Way of the Upper High Valley says that
flood victims in Ohio County still need more supplies, of course,

(13:26):
as the clean up and recovery efforts continues. Executive Director
Stacy Stephens says the needs change day by day following
the flood, but currently residents are in need of coolers, ice,
cooling rags, dehumidifiers, and plastic tots. Ice is a big one.

(13:50):
Ice is a big one. You take the bottled water,
take some ice with you. If you have coolers laying
around that you don't use anymore, or you've just got
way too many, we've got just take them over there.
They can use all of that kind of stuff. Stephen
says each home is in a different phase of cleanup,
with some just beginning to muck out while others need

(14:12):
supplies and furniture. So as the cleanup continues, if you
still want to help, you can volunteer your time, of course,
but then also donate things like this, water, ice coolers, rags, dehumidifiers,
the plastic toads, that kind of stuff. So a little
bit of an update there on the flooding. Also received

(14:37):
this from the City of Wheeling. That happening today at
two forty five. There is going to be a discussion
regarding the recent flooding and the needs of the community.
Who will be attending is Assistant Deputy Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development Joe de Felise, the Small Business Administration,

(14:57):
the EPA Administration will be there. The EPA Regional Administrator
Chief of Staff Bill Jones will also be attending, along
with officials for the city City of Wheeling in Ohio County, Tridelphia,
and Valley Grove Membership. So that is happening today at
two forty five at the Blaskovich Community Center on National

(15:21):
Road in Tridelphia. So that is happening two day. Otis
I mean, it's just been it's been overwhelming to see
what those folks are going through. It's uh, it's a.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Lot, it is. Yeah, I mean you figure, I mean
I saw a bunch of people yesterday outside the house
of the Carpenter that you know, probably about ten guys
that were volunteering their time and you know you could
see that they had, you know, worked there working.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So but again everybody is stepping up,
the community is stepping up, and that's what that's the highlight, unfortunately,
of this devastating event. A few notes, As I mentioned,
we have our lunch today, but we're also going to

(16:11):
have your Chance to Win. We've got a couple more
sets of George Thoroughgood tickets. We got a couple more.
We're gonna wrap that up today. So we've got a
couple of those today. So that's gonna be coming up
throughout the show. And then of course, along with free
lunch on Wednesdays, our Wednesdays also entail Politics Unleashed with

(16:33):
Elgid McCardell. That'll be coming up in the eight o'clock hour.
We're gonna hit on a few things. Of course, Iran
and the repercussions, the status the vote yesterday. I'm gonna
get her thoughts on that situation and everything that's been
going on. If you have a questionnare you have a

(16:55):
topic you want us to get into, you can email
me Sam at iHeartMedia dot com. Or of course there's
our text line seven zero four seven zero or seventy
four seventy, as Otis likes to say, start the message
off with bloom Daddy and then tell us what you
want us to know in a text seven zero four
seven zero. It's seven twenty eight on your Wednesday. You're

(17:18):
listening to the Bloomdaddy experience, samon Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA making whoopee?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Could someone please make Whoopy Goldberg quit showing her ignorance
at an alarming rate last week on the worst television
show in the history of mankind the view, Whoopy said,
and I'm not making this up that black people in
America have it as bad as women in Iran.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Let me repeat that for you.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Black people in America have it as bad as a
woman in Iran.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
First of all, women in Iran have a dress code that,
if violin, will result in harassment, arrest, up to two
months of prison time, plus restrictions on employment and education.
The last time I looked, black women on Euclid Avenue
were wearing basically nothing. I mean, I see more skin
on the daily here than I would watching twenty four
hours of the porn site brassers. Also, women and I

(18:19):
Ran face discrimination and marriage divorce, child custody, inheritance, and
the ability to travel my black listeners, does any of
that apply to you? Let me answer that for you.
Absolutely not. Women and I Ran have no legal protection
against domestic violence or sexual assault. Does that pertain to
black people in the United States? I think you know
the answer now. I get freedom of speech, but allowing

(18:42):
someone like Whoopi Goldberg to spew absurdly false narratives in
inflammatory statements every damn day, Roll Tom he goes too far.
She should be fired and replaced by somebody with a
brain it. Oh. By the way, Whoopy is a black
multi millionaire who can buy anything she wants, anywhere she wants,
and obviously say anything she wants in a country she

(19:04):
says is worse than Iran when it comes to people
like her. Again, someone fire this idiot immediately, and while
you're doing it, go to Iran and find someone who
like her, is a minority, self made millionaire. You're gonna
be looking for a long long time.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
These comments are irresponsible, completely irresponsible. They are disgusting, and
she should be fired. That entire show should be ripped
off the airwaves. I will say to her co host
in this particular segment last week, the Alissa Farah, she tried,

(19:53):
and she seems to be the one woman on this
panel who has a somewhat level of common sense. She
tried to explain to what Bee, you're missing the point,
the comparison that you're making is not even within the

(20:17):
same world, the same realm. So I've got to give
her credit for trying. But here's the thing. When Woopy
gets on one of her tangents, she doesn't stop, she
doesn't stop and listen, and that's where the problem is.
She's a glowing example with the problem of our society

(20:38):
is we don't stop and listen to one another's points.
We just are a train wreck of stepping on everybody's conversation.
People so quickly want to get out their point in
their argument or their side of a topic that they

(21:01):
can't shut up, stop and listen to the opposing view.
Oh hey, there's that's the name of the show. But
they can't do that. But back to Whoopy and what
she said, as I said, it's just incredibly irresponsible.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Well, Whoopy's also the one that said that Joe Biden
should be the surgeon general because she's such a great doctor. Yes,
well she's a doctor of education, right.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Whoopy's estimated to be worth roughly thirty million dollars. She
makes eight million dollars a year to sit on that
panel and spew her ignorance eight million dollars and Whoopy,
why don't you sit down and have a conversation with

(21:51):
an Iranian female? Find out what it is actually like
for your reality to be so barbaric that you can
be fined, imprisoned, or flogged. You heard that right? Flogging

(22:12):
happens to women if they do not dress modestly or
show their hair based upon the morality police that follows
them throughout the streets. Think about that. So will we

(22:37):
sit down and have a conversation with people. There is
a new law that is trying to be passed in
Iran for com compulsively veiling, which is punishable if it
is not if it gets into law, is punishable by flogging,

(23:04):
prison or death death. So if they do not wear
the hijab properly or they're caught without an on under
this possible new rule flogging, prison or death, husbands have

(23:30):
a right to divorce their wives. Women can only seek
divorce under limited circumstances. Those would be addiction, imprisonment, financial
inability to support the family. Child marriage is permitted under
Iranian law. The legal minimum age for girls to be

(23:54):
married is thirteen, but it can be younger if there's
parental in court consent. Think about that, younger than thirteen.
If parents in the court say it's okay that young
girl can be married and it's probably not to another

(24:19):
thirteen year old little boy, think about that. Husbands can
prevent their wives from working or traveling overseas. A mother
only has custody of her child up until the age
of seven. After that all sole legal guardian custody is
for the father. The father has a husband can prevent

(24:44):
his wife from pursuing an occupation. Women are prohibited from
holding certain positions. So when I say barbaric, it is
a barbaric reality that women live in in Iran. But

(25:05):
according to Whoopee, life here is harder for minorities. It
is not even comparable. It is not comparable. And the
fact that she has the platform that she has and

(25:25):
has not been rained in by these comments that falls
on the ownership of that station. It truly does. It
is outrageous, absolutely outrageous, and she is The Democratic Party
honestly needs to at some point in time put an

(25:50):
end to this because it is fueling these outrageous comments
by these women around this table is actually hurting the
Democratic Party. I think they need to step in also

(26:16):
because when these clips go viral, it is it is
causing them a disservice, a disservice. You saw the clip,
didn't you notice?

Speaker 6 (26:31):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay, yeah, I don't care. I mean, okay, I mean
if I read about it, I don't need to watch it.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Okay, I guess. I guess for me is a female
and learning and reading up on what the females have
to deal with and iran listen, the entire population there
is under this horrible regime. But the fact that we
can face death because they don't dress the way a

(27:03):
man feels that they should dress, I guess it. It
hits me. It hits me a little bit more. But
will be shut up? Go make a movie that nobody
wants to see. There's something you can spend your time
on and give us all a break. Seven forty five.
You're listening to the Bloomdaddy experience. Salmon otis news Radio

(27:26):
eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back at seven point fifty one
the Blue Daddy Experience, salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
Let's get into some local things. Along with what we

(27:48):
mentioned earlier, the need for additional flood supplies by the
United Way that was put out, I'll reiterate those again.
Residents are in need of Coohler's ice, cooling rags, dehumans
and plastic tots. Again, that is what is currently needed
for the flood victims and the cleanup crews as they
go through everything that happened here in Ohio County. Also

(28:12):
along the same lines, free vaccinations are still available in
Ohio County. Folks can visit the Wheeling, Ohio County Health
Department for tetanus vaccine and hepatitis A vaccinations. Only people
ages nineteen and older can get the hepatitis A shot.
Vaccines are available from nine am till four pm. Also,

(28:35):
an update on road closers closures in Ohio County. There
are some local roads that will not reopen any time soon,
of course, because of the damage. GC and P Road
at the intersection of West Virginia eighty eight is closed indefinitely.
It's the same for the Shilling Bridge in Wheeling. The

(28:56):
National Guard is helping with debris removal in that area.
So again GC and P Road at the intersection of
West Virginia eighty eight is closed indefinitely. And it's the
same for Shilling Bridge in Wheeling. And we are still
under a heat advisory. It remains in effect until eight

(29:18):
pm this evening. Heis are expected to soar into the nineties,
which of course then takes the heat index over one
hundred degrees. Of course, officials are urging folks to limit
their time outdoors and take breaks from the sun, hydrate
all of that. So the extreme heat advisory is still

(29:38):
in effect. And then for our northern friends, South eleventh
Street will be a full go this morning. In Weirton,
crews closed off the road yesterday for maintenance, but city
officials provide transportation are providing the transportation updates online and
on social media. So South eleven Street is back up

(29:59):
and running this morning in Weirden. In Weirdon. And then
it's the state level this I'm glad to hear. West
Virginia is asking the Supreme Court to hear hear a
case against a state law barring transgender athletes from girls
and women's school sports team. The state is citing the

(30:23):
High Court's recent decision in US Versus Scurmeti to uphold
a Tennessee law banning gender affirming care for minors. The
Supreme Court rejected a previous previous request to lift a
lower court order that has prevented West Virginia from enforcing
its law. West Virginia's supplemental filing argues the Supreme Court's

(30:44):
recent ruling in this case the Tennessee case warrants a
fresh review of the law. However, the justices have yet
to respond. The fact that this conversation gets to the
court levels levels, let alone the Supreme Court, it's just
mind boggling. There's there's not even a debate. I'm sorry,

(31:05):
there's not even a conversation to be had. The fact
that states have to stand up and fight to protect
women in sports, protect fairness in sports, keep men out
of women's locker rooms, in our private spaces. It's it's
it's it's insanity, absolute insanity. But West Virginia is now

(31:27):
getting involved in the conversation fighting for our female athletes.
They are absolutely doing this. You had to run in
with your uh with your with Pongo yesterday, otis right,
a little bit of h He was a little bit,
a little bit excited when.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
I was leaving the house. Yeah, well yeah, so I
stopped bringing me in because I'm trying to break him
of the attachment because I will be going out of
town for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
He has separation anxiety.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yes, I didn't. We're working on that. And as I
was exiting the house to get into the car yesterday,
he made a bee line right behind me and basically
took me out. I mean like like hit me in
the back of the legs as I was going down
the steps, and.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
I just envisioned a cartoon version of you the flipping.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
He dropped my little backpack that had my iPad, my
fans and stuff like that in it and caught myself.
And before I could catch myself, he was sitting in
the backseat of the jeep. He was ready, He was
ready to go. He doesn't care, he just wants to go.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
He misses me. I think he does. Well. This guy,
that's true. This guy. So firefighters had to rescue a
man because he became trapped in the chimney of a
Connecticut building while he was attempting to retrieve his dog
from a locked bathroom. The Bristol man entered the building

(32:59):
and it effort to retrieve his dog that had become
stuck in the bathroom after the building's new timer operated
locks automatically locked the doors at ten pm, trapping the
man near the chimney flew. Firefighters had to remove parts
of the chimney and building structure to free the injured man,
and it cost an estimated five to ten thousand dollars

(33:22):
in damage. The dog was unharmed, though, So there's the Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
But it's gonna cost this guy since he got arrested.
Not only did he get arrested for trespassing and burglary
and criminal mischief, but he's gonna have to pay to
have the chimney fixed too.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Five to ten.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
That's probably about a twenty thousand dollars thing by the
time it's all said and done.

Speaker 5 (33:47):
Yeah, but we love our pooches, don't we do it?

Speaker 3 (33:50):
I just left him in there overnight and got him
in the morning. Oh yeah, I'm not the one that's
gonna have to clean up after him. I didn't lock him.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
In there, bad idea. That's not a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
I mean he'll survive.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
Yeah, Yeah, they're they're pretty they're pretty self sufficient.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
I mean you're only talking probably what eight hours, maybe
ten hours.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Yeah, he was not going to starve to death.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Not gonna starve to death, not gonna dehydrate. I mean,
you know, probably a little pital puddle thirsty. You might
have to clean some stuff up, but wouldn't be me.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
No, it's seven fifty when we would get back, we're
gonna get into it. It's politics Unleashed with Elgin McCardle.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
And tick people off.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
The bloom Daddy Experience on news radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 5 (34:59):
Start now, welcome back, it's eighth six on this sunshiny
Wednesday morning. Thank you for tuning in the bloom Daddy Experienced.
Sam and Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Of course
we're gearing up for politics Unleashed with Elgine maccardo. We'll

(35:22):
get to that here very very shortly, and of course
we're gonna get her thoughts on a lot of things,
but I wanted to hit on a couple top stories. Nationally,
a bipartisan vote in the House has ended shocker with
the impeachment attempt against President Trump. Tuesday's vote was three

(35:45):
forty four to seventy nine, with one hundred and twenty
eight Democrats voting with Republicans. That's a huge that's a
pretty decent sized number. So AOC I'm sorry you can
cry tears in your pillow this morning as you wake
up because your impeachment campaign failed drastically, drastically, So joining

(36:08):
us now, Algie mccardo Politics on leash, Good.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Morning, Good morning, how are you good?

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Good good? So did you hear what I just said
about the h impeachment attempt?

Speaker 6 (36:21):
Yes? I did.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
And And what do you think AOCS is crying in
her pillow?

Speaker 6 (36:28):
H I would say, she's not crying. I think she's
throwing a fit. Crying is just not her style.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
She's stop stopping her feet, throwing a.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
Tramp trum two year old tantrum. I would say, it
would be more appropriate. I mean, how ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (36:44):
It's just it's it's the t's it's anything that Trump
does is absolutely wrong, and God forbid that he succeeds,
because then it's.

Speaker 6 (36:57):
In your face and they don't know what to do.
He just keeps succeeding. He keeps falling through with his
campaign promises and very ef actively to boot I think he.
I don't know if you guys saw and whether or
not it's two, but I saw the New York Post
said that he was actually nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

(37:18):
Did you see that.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
I did see that. I did see that. That's the
that's the only outlet I saw it on, though, Yes,
I haven't seen it anywhere else exactly.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
Yeah, yes, yeah, And that's why I didn't know whether
it was confirmed or not, because, like I said, I
saw it on that one post, but nothing else. But anyway,
but yes, it's it's been it's been a whirlwind of
news cycles for the last couple of weeks, for sure.
I means, when Father's Day craziness to the well, we're

(37:50):
gonna give it two weeks to well, we bombed, we
bombed right and left, and now the war is d
it So it is. It's been crazy.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
So when let's let's let's go back to when it
happened over the weekend. Were you surprised?

Speaker 6 (38:08):
I was very surprised, and probably like a lot of people,
thought oh now, oh no, no, no, what is this
going to do? But then when you think about it,
there was the targets were not civilians. The targets were
military uranium. They were very specific, very confined, and amazing,

(38:36):
quite frankly, the fact that those stuff bombers went in
bombed left and nobody even knew it happened. Almost you know,
it was like, okay, success, we're out here. Not one
shot was fired at them. You know, whether or not
military had the capability of doing that, I don't know,
but certainly it was a very successful mission. Now, of

(38:58):
course there's some backlass of people saying, oh, well, you
really weren't as effective, and you know, so it doesn't matter.
He's not allowed to be successful in the TDS people's eyes.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah, there is there is. Now this morning, we're waking
up to a uh let me find my information on this.
But there's there's folks that are that are claiming that
it was not as as effective as President Trump is
claiming with the you know, he's using terms like obliterated,
things like that. The Intelligent and Early Intelligence Assessment of

(39:33):
the US strikes on Iran says the attack reportedly set
it back only by months, instead of the obliteration that
Trump said. Multiple outlets are reporting about the highly classified
document produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency and US Central Command.
So this document has leaked. Whoever leaked it should be

(39:55):
should be face termination or if if anything, some sort
of repercussions for leaking this classified document. But going back
to the actual strikes, is it surprising to you again,
you said you were shocked. I was shocked. I think
pretty much the majority of people were shocked. Ninety nine

(40:18):
point nine percent of the people were shocked when this
actually happened. How was it that the planning, the strategy,
How did all of this happen with nobody knowing? I mean,
DC is obviously a sieve of information. You can't keep
a secret in DC. But yet this was able to

(40:39):
be pulled off with no leaks whatsoever. That's what's amazing
to me.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
I think it's a testament to Trump's choices of people
within his cabinet, within its military within those that are
in the nose, so to speak to them, whether it
be the chief of staff. I mean, there was a
lot of vetting done for filling the administration. He learned

(41:07):
the first time around where the where the problems were.
And I think in the four years hiatus when Biden
was president, he was able he and his team were
able to further vet and keep their finger on the
pulse of DC know who's loyal, who's not loyal, who's
going to speak, who's not going to speak, And it's
just it's on a need to know basis. You know,

(41:29):
the signal app was tightened up really or maybe no
signal was used. I don't you know. It was probably
that situation room, and it was anybody that was in
the situation room was it. That's it. That's the only
people that knew. They were vetted. It was kept close
to the vest and it was a tech of operation.
Quite frankly that had not done that, but it would

(41:50):
not have been a success. And so as far as
DUC being a sieve, it had gone to Congress, certainly,
you know, the it would not have been kept a
secret because there's just too much. Oh, I don't know,
pds in Congress, and it wouldn't have been kept secret.
But I think it's a testament to those who who

(42:11):
has chosen and the loyalty, uh and the patriotism, that
kind of thing that that just resonated throughout this entire
I guess what was it's not a project? What's the word.
I'm looking forward to the mission, the mission, the mission.

(42:34):
It's America first.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Yeah, was this not a long time coming? I mean
it is not as if there wasn't the offers for talks.
There were warnings, there were this isn't going on for
back to the Obama administration and prior to that. I mean,
the warnings have been there. If you try to have

(42:55):
nuclear weapons were you're it's not going to happen. We're
action is going to be taken. It's not as if
there wasn't lee time. They weren't giving given grace to
fall in line, and they didn't do it right.

Speaker 6 (43:11):
They didn't and they played there the but are bait
and switch, and you know, their tactics over the past
decade have been such that Okay, we'll say enough, but
then we're not really going to do it, and we
really don't have any intention to do it. The whole
thing plays out in my mind like a group of children.

(43:35):
But that you say, okay, and a parent with a child,
you're not allowed to do this. You're not allowed to
do this, and you know your curfew is ten, and
then they come in at ten fifty. Okay, well you
know it's it's it's ten. I told you it's ten.
And they come in at ten thirty, and you keep
letting it go and letting it go and letting it go,
and then before you know it, the child's in control.
Well that's I think what has been happening for the

(43:58):
past decade. And you know Trump even to the day
after with Israel and Iran playing their little teacher games. Yeah, okay,
well we have the ceasefire for another twelve hours where
it dropped a few more bombs. Maybe it's that, and
then and then gets they got scolded by that.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
Yeah, he put them in their place. Hold that though.
We're gonna we're gonna get into that a little bit more,
because you know, is Trump proving a couple of things.
It's a fifteen we're it's politics unleashed with Elgie mccardal,
and we're gonna get into more on Iran and a
couple other things. So we'll be back the bloem Ditty
experienced samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy w w VA.

(44:47):
Welcome back. It's eight twenty one on your Wednesday, which means,
of course, politics unleashed with Elgin mccarto. We were talking about,
of course, what happened over the weekend with Iran. Elgin
one of the things that the Democrats, the ultra extreme Democrats,
just lost it, immediately called for his impeachment, took it

(45:12):
as fast as they could to the floor. The vote happened,
It sunk like the Titanic. But what he did those
air strikes, he had full right as president to do correct, correct, Yes.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
I mean if you look at historically, I think I
saw over the weekend too in one of the newscasts
that this has happened one hundred and twenty five times
in the past whatever twenty five years. You know, Bush
did it, Obama did it. Hillary advised Obama it just targeted.

(45:49):
Air strikes do not constitute declaration of war. Trump did
not declare war, right, he does not have the ability
to declare war, but he has an absolute constitutional right
and duty to protect and keep American safe. And I
think the premise of the bombing of the nuclear facilities

(46:13):
in Iran was exactly that, to keep America safe. As
we were discussing before the breaks, it has been the
uh okay, okay, okay, I promise, I promise I won't
do it again, and then they do it again, and
they just keep enriching and they keep I think it's
it's the it's not the trivial nuclear production for energy

(46:38):
and that kind of thing that is at stake here.
It's the enriching the uranium to the point where it
is they're capable of making a bomb, and then they
have facilities to put the bomb together. And I think
that's what they took out. So he had an absolute
right to do what it did well.

Speaker 5 (46:54):
And then I saw Secretary of State Marco Ribio on
one of the Sunday shows and he and you know,
he was describing he said, there's no other use for
what they for the levels that they took the uranium,
the power that that uranium had, there was no other
use for it at that level except for the bomb.

(47:16):
So for people that are trying to say, oh, they
were going to use it for something else. There is
nothing scientifically that it would have been used for. Is
the is the point that he was getting.

Speaker 6 (47:25):
Across exactly exactly, And so it's all semantics, it's all
a spin, and it's the twenty four hour news cable
that if you want to make a big deal or
spin something in an opposite way so that you make
Trump look bad, it's the opportunity to do so. And

(47:47):
they were just looking for those opportunities. And it's just
a shame that every time they do it, it's blackfires.
For example, I did get a little concerned. I didn't
I wasn't near a television, nor could I really read
the news article, but I did see that Iran retaliated

(48:09):
and tried to target one of the guitar Bassis guitar
and then Trump's Trump's response on truth socialism, Well, good effort.
Sorry you missed. It's just comical. I mean, it's just
like it's just like a parent. It is, it's like
parent with children. And he has certainly put everybody in

(48:33):
their place and shown that he is absolutely the negotiator. Extraordinary.
And what he says, here's the deadline, or here's the
here's the red line, over which you cannot pass, and
you pass it. He's going to take action. He's not
a lot of words, a lot of hot air. He

(48:55):
actually will follow through. And I think it sets us
up the United States, that is, for where are we
going to be with these tariffs? Where are we going
to be as far as war goes, peace through strength,
don't masp because if you don't come to the negotiating
table where we want to make sure that we have peace,

(49:18):
they will be consequences.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
Well, and I think part of part of it is
for the past, for the exception of four years, for
the past ten, fifteen years, maybe even pushing twenty, we
have not had a leader of action. And this, as
you said, when he makes a statement and says this

(49:42):
is what will happen, he means it and he follows
through with it. And I think a lot of the
reaction by folks, especially that of a younger generation, they're
not used to seeing a leader of action, and it's
shocking to them.

Speaker 6 (50:00):
Right, not only a leader of action, but he follows
It's it's like action, but follow through and absolute. This
this is a consequence And don't push me because you
have to follow through with your and I don't want
to call them threats, but your consequential words. If you

(50:25):
do this, then this will happen. And if if the
first part happens but the second part does not, then
who cares? You know? You listen to you right, and
don'ts go pay attention. It's like crying wolf.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
Yeah, you lose your your you lose your standing or
your authority if you don't follow through on the promises
that you make. But ELEGI hold that, hold that because
we've got more to get into. But I have a
promise that I have to follow through. We have our
first chance to win this morning. So we have four

(51:00):
tickets to see George Thoroughgood here at the Capitol this Saturday.
So talked about it earlier. We're gonna do it now.
One eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy. Don't don't
say I'm not a woman that holds up my end
of the table. So holds up my end of the
bargaining chip. So one eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy.
Let's do caller number nine. Let's do a single digit

(51:24):
One eight hundred sixty two, four eleven seventy Caller number nine.
Oh you were you were.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
It took me a while to time in, but I
guess yeah, but I had to take a chance.

Speaker 5 (51:35):
There, you got it.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
We don't have Kevin today, so you're my cheap chot.

Speaker 5 (51:38):
I'm the I'm the punching bag, all right. Eight twenty eight.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. When we get back,
we're gonna course, of course, continue the conversation Politics Unleashed.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis,
News Radio eleven seventy w w V A.

Speaker 6 (52:07):
Welcome back.

Speaker 5 (52:08):
It's eight thirty six, the Blagatty Experience Otis and Sam
and Elgin here on news radio eleven seventy WWVA. Of course, Elgin,
because it's Wednesday, so it's Politics Unleashed, all right, Elgin.
I'm going to start this off with a quote. I
want to see if you can guess who said this.
This was said in nineteen ninety four, says we could

(52:29):
use someone like Donald Trump as president, someone who could
not be bought or changed. Who do you think said that?

Speaker 6 (52:40):
Whew, Oprah.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
Well right, gender Hillary Hillary Clinton? Hillary, Hillary Clinton yep
said that nineteen ninety four. I bet that haunts her
in her dreams that that's still out there.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
I wasn't a commercial. I don't know political commercials.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
Yep, Yes it would have, Yes, it would have. All right,
So I want to get your I want to get
your thoughts on this. So turning on the news this morning,
of course I do not follow New York politics that closely,
but woke up this morning to what I would describe
as the New York basically re educating the country on

(53:37):
not what to do when voting politically. And what do
I mean by that? Of course, that is the projected winner,
uh Zo Ron Mom Donnie who went up against, of course,
former Governor Clomo, and he is the projected winner. Now

(53:59):
why am I verying this up? Because this gentleman is
known a known socialist, and some of the things that
he ran on are things like, let's see here, nationalized
grocery stores, the using taxpayer dollars to fund castration, drugs

(54:29):
for children, free rent for folks, free bus usage for folks,
free childcare. So are the New York voters basically telling
us or telling future politicians, all you have to do
is put free in front of something and you'll get

(54:53):
their vote.

Speaker 6 (54:56):
Well, take a long a limit Democrat New York Democrats,
because it is a democratic primaries. I think when they
go up against the current mayor, who has now switched
from them to independence, who has different, more moderate ideas

(55:16):
on how to govern, and who will be backed by
I would I would suspect by Trump or the administration
just simply because of his immigration policies that have changed.
You can't, I think. I think with that message, would
you take over the takeaway from the New York Democrat

(55:37):
primary from mayor? The takeaway is that the d n
C vice chair who was pretty much outed AOC and
the socialist left of the Dems are what they are.
I think the Dems need to take notes because they
are resonating with his youth because of the free as

(56:00):
you've indicated, But anybody who has any kind of a
half frame would immediately respond by free and who there's
no such thing as a free launch.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
Who do you think is going to pay for that?

Speaker 6 (56:16):
And so the majority and the moderate Democrats are not
going to put up the bats. And when you only
have a choice between those two, I don't know how
many actually showed up. I don't know what the polls
show you as far as turnout and that kind of thing.
So I think that remains to be seen. I think

(56:38):
it's a short term victory, one that will be quickly squashed.
Like the impeachment was AOC, and that group has more,
i don't know, more of a message than the old timers.

(57:00):
Cuomo was supported by Clinton, Hillary and Hillary and both Bill.
So I think it's a message to the DMC that
the socialists are more united in their presentations and their
message and they're getting good candidate, but good quote unquote

(57:21):
good candidates, but appeal well. AOC appeals to people this
I can't even pronounce the same the Democratic mom Dawn, Yes,
who's a Muslim? Who's anti Israel? I mean, come on?
Something to go anywhere in the general I.

Speaker 5 (57:41):
Think when you were referring to that, you know, the
AI AOC group of the Democratic Party, they're the squeaky wheel,
That's what they are. That's why they get the attention,
that's why they're talked about all the time, because whenever
they have a moment to be in front of a camera,
a social media post, anything they possibly can do to

(58:03):
put their face out there and whine and cry and
push their socialized you know, socialism message and all of
that kind of stuff. That's why they have gotten to
where they are. It doesn't matter what the message is
per se, it's the fact that they're out there all
the time. But this this guy that Now, keep in mind,
the the primaries that this gentleman ran in was a

(58:27):
there was nine other candidates, so those votes, Yeah, there
were nine other candidates in this you know, very crowded primary,
so that of course spreads out the votes and waters
it down, if you will. But a little bit of
his background. He once said he would have Benjamin Netanyahu
arrested if he ever came to New York. He has

(58:49):
long pushed for defunding the police. So that is who
this person is, along with state run grocery stores, which
to me reminds me of a scene if you've ever
watched The Hand and Maid's Tale, that's what a state
run grocery store would look like. Free rent, free brust
is and everything else. Yeah, it's just it's just a
sad day that when you have somebody like this who

(59:13):
now is getting all of this media coverage and his
name is going to be pumped up in the Democratic
Party and he's going to be speculated upon. But this
is the kind of stuff he stands for. It's sad,
it's really sad.

Speaker 6 (59:27):
It's sad, and it's it's it's well, and it's not
going to resonate. I mean that I think that has
that was proven in the last election, and it's proven
in the impeachment. So it doesn't it doesn't resonate throughout
the country. And it just I think it just primees
the the opposition to go against him, you know, use

(59:51):
all those things that he's saying now in commercials, political
commercials to house him or he's he might have gotten
the Democratic nomination but doesn't have a prayer in the general.

Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
And then also just back a little bit to the
Iranian conflict and everything that has happened this morning. There
were multiple arrests of Iranian illegals here in the country
that has been announced this morning. That was the one
thing that I wanted to bring up when this happened

(01:00:26):
over the weekend. That was the first thing I thought
was what Hornet's nest? Did we just poke that is
right now within our borders thanks to the prior administration.
That was that was my first big hesitancy with the
actions that the president took over the weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
Right, I mean, the sleeper cells are a real concern.
They're called sleeper for a reason, and they're gonna bring
it directly heads hopefully not if ice can contain it
or the dj can, FBI can investigate it and plush
them out. I'm sure they have intel. Question is you

(01:01:05):
know whether they can execute on it, and hopefully they
will be contained. But you're right, I mean, the the
Biden administration let so many people in without letting them
and for it gave them enough time to organize, Yes,
and hopefully.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
That won't build a strategy come to pass. Yeah, yeah,
they did, they did. Well. We're going to let you go, Elgin,
your work is done with us for the week, so
we appreciate it. Well, okay, well, thank you, go enjoy
this beautiful, beautiful sunshine. We'll talk to you next next week.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
All right, Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
All right, we'll talk to you then. You're listening to
the Blue Daddy Experience Sam and Otis News Radio eleven
seventy WWVA. We are we're not quite done yet. We're

(01:02:07):
not quite done yet, and what that means is we're
not done with winners yet. Either we're gonna have two
more before the end of the show. One is gonna
be another four pack, our last four tickets to go
see George Thoroughgood this Saturday, so this is your last
chance for that. And then of course we're gonna have
our lunch winter courtesy of our friends from River City,

(01:02:30):
and we will be doing that at the end of
the show. Otis I learned a valuable lesson yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Okay, so.

Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
This is gonna sound weird.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
No more than usual, No more than usual, Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
Thank you. I have discovered that I really enjoy mowing grass.
I don't know why, because I hated it growing up.
Now I don't push I have the regular riding lawnmower,

(01:03:07):
but it's just the time to zone out. I put
on a good podcast or some music, and I just
zone out and I just scoot around. Well, I learned
a harsh lesson yesterday doing this don't sing while you're
mowing the grass, because as I was mowing, I ended

(01:03:31):
up with a bit of a snack that I wasn't
planning on and it was crunchy. Hmmm not uh, not
exactly the most pleasant experience. And well, and I'm like,
I'm choking and I'm trying to spit it out of

(01:03:51):
my mouth, and I'm trying to drive the stupid lawnmower
and the whole thing at ah. Man, it was awful
and sing. But when you have heads on and a
lawnmower going at the same time, you think you sound
really good. Yeah. No, maybe that's why the bugs were
attacking me. He tried to get me to shut up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
I'm not saying anything, but at least I.

Speaker 5 (01:04:15):
Mowed my grass. You have a didn't you have a
neighborhood kid.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
I have a kid that does it. I mean they
came up to me and said, hey, can we cut
your grass? And I mean I was a kid once
that that's how I made my extra money. And he said,
hey you. I said, well, what do you want to
charge me? And he said twenty bucks? And I said,
how about if I give you thirty?

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
So wait, say that again.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
I said how much would you charge me to cut
my grass? And he said twenty bucks? And I said,
well how about thirty? Oh, so I give him. I
actually give him thirty bucks for cutting my grass.

Speaker 5 (01:04:47):
Oh that yeah, twenty bucks is kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
I mean back in the day, I mean, I cut
grass for five bucks or six bucks.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
It's called inflation.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (01:04:57):
You couldn't fill up the gas tank on a lawn
for five bucks probably.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
That's the other thing. They don't use my mower. They
use their mower and their gas. And so I'm like,
I'm in well, but here, you know what, weed whack,
A little weed wack. They do that too, you know,
so it's worth the extra ten bucks.

Speaker 5 (01:05:13):
Oh yeah. It's nice though to see a kid doing that.
You don't see a lot of that anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
He's a little young and his dad kind of helps him.
His dad supervises. Okay, so and sometimes dad or you know,
but he comes down and he's got the leaf blower
and he blows the grass off the sidewalk in the driveway,
and you know. So I was I was at age once,
and you know, the kid he told me what he
was saving the money for. So I was like, OK,
I'm good with that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:37):
That's a good thing though, I mean, it teaches kids
responsibility and teaches kids how to save money for something
that they want, putting in a good hard day's work
and what you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
I don't have to do it nowhere and tear on
my mower. I don't. I'm not paying for the gas.
So his dad listens, So maybe his dad's listening to
what I'm saying right now.

Speaker 5 (01:06:00):
Well to that dad, Yeah, good kids. Good for you
for teaching your kid that type of responsibility.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
And sometimes I don't know. I see the sun. So
I'll see the dad maybe on a different day or night,
and I'll say, well, here's here's here's danes money, and
he'll go. I said, Now, I'm going to make sure
that he gets it. So the next time I see him, say, hey,
did your dad give you the money? I said, because
he was talking about putting it in the poker machine
and trying to double it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:29):
No. I I drive myself nuts and I drive my
husband nuts because my OCD kicks in when I'm mowing
the grass big time, and he says, I take way
too long. But that's why, because the lines have to
be perfect, perfectly straight.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Yeah, I get one of them rollers and then like
zig zag your grass like in the Major league field.

Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
Well, I have tried to do the caddy corner like, well,
you can deal with a miller too.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Yeah, but look, if you have the roller, it rolls
the grass so that you get that Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:07:03):
In fact I don't have time to get that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Well, you just just drag it on there. You just
put it behind your merwor is all you do?

Speaker 5 (01:07:09):
Oh really? Oh I didn't know that. Oh now see,
now you've put something in my head. Well, now I'm
going to go on Amazon and.

one on Amazon.

get anything on Amazon. So yeah, I had a little
extra protein last night for uh for.

They're all probably crunchy unless you cook them.

Speaker 5 (01:07:38):
It was either it was one. I think it was
one of those we call them Japanese beetles. I don't
know if that's the right term, but I think it was.
I think it was one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):

wasn't a stink bug.
