The Bloomdaddy Experience with Otis & Sam July 2, 2025

Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Topic number one smug.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
This is an email I received Monday night after blasting
CNN for basically a plodding and promoting an ice app
that tells the legal immigrants how to elude ice.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
This is the email I'm reading it to you.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Bloom Daddy, just know this talking about CNN being biased,
and in parentheses, he said they are crappy reporting to
while broadcasting from a station that is a twenty four
to seven straight up trunk commercial is the height of hypocrisy.
It makes you sound like you're gargling mini Hitler's gonads
because you.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Are from Ryan.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Now clean that U up a little bit, and that
last line is pretty damn funny.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
But I want to respond to Ryan a couple of
things here.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
First of all, we let everybody know that WTAM is
a conservative talk station, and I AM a conservative talk
show host.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
We don't hide that fact. I don't hide that fact.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
CNN, on the other hand, rebranded themselves as a more
center middle station and when reporting the news like the
Ice app that should be presented as solely news and
not an anti Ice ad like they did. That's not journalism,
that's propaganda.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
In hate.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Number two. WTAM is a conservative station yet aired the
Jimmy Malone Show for years. Who's a liberal? Greg Brenda,
the dean of Cleveland Sports, Liberal Rob Rizzicky, Malone's former producer,
and a frequent contributor on this station liberal. So to
Ryan's point that this station is a twenty four to
seven straight up Trump commercial, he's one hundred percent wrong.

(01:56):
You know, whenever I get an email from someone like
Ryan who's so smug he can't see through his own
ignorance or lack of facts, I get excited because I
love eviscerating someone who doesn't know what the hell they're
talking about yet thinks they do. And last, but not least,
I don't even like the term conservative talk show host,
even though I am a conservative, because it paints me
into a corner, and you know, from listening to me,
I call out the right when it's warranted, and many

(02:17):
of you don't like it, and I have the emails
to prove it. So I'd rather be referred to as
a common sense talk show host because that's what I have,
and I wish more people like Ryan would get a
dose of it. Topic number two unacceptable. The family of
one of the victims of Idaho murder suspect Brian Coberger
said Monday that they were sent scrambling and jumped into
panic mode when Coburger accepted a plea deal to avoid

(02:39):
the death penalty. He's thirty years old. He's accused of
killing four college students butchered them in a four am
home invasion attack on November thirteenth of twenty twenty two.
This is what one of the family members said, and
I quote we believed in the process. We had faith
in the system, but at this point it is impossible
not to acknowledge the truth. The system has failed these

(03:00):
four innocent victims and their families. They go on the
introduction of the plea deal weeks before the scheduled trial
is both shocking and cruel, and then she added that
the families could have had time to process, discuss and
potentially come to terms with the idea of a life
sentence if it had come sooner. This is simply unacceptable.

(03:20):
This guy is one hundred percent guilty and knows it.
That's why he accepted this deal. But for the prosecutors
to offer it with the evidence they have and not
consult the families first, that's just simply cruel, ridiculous, lazy,
and simply unacceptable.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
This prosecutor should be embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And finally, topic number three, the bays you want a
wedding while Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder just gave you one
three days in Venice gazillions of dollars, and man, the
haters are out. Rosie O'Donnell, who looks like Woody Allen
and Shrek had a baby, is losing her fricking mind
on his wife the opulence of it all.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Mind you, she's a multimillionaire, lives pretty good.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Charlie Thorn, the movie star, said the partygoers at her
party on one of the movie lots, quote, we might
be the only people who didn't get an invite to
the wedding, but that's okay because they suck and we're cool.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Who in the hell even talks like that as an adult.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
That's something a tenth grade girl says to her ZiT
infested friends after not getting it as to prompt, Well,
they suck it, We're cool, and you could bet your
bottom dollar if Rosie Shrek O'donna and Charlie I need
to eat a ham sandwich Theron were invited to this wedding,
they would have been there. Egomaniacs as they both are,
would never miss an opportunity to be seen like at

(04:43):
that wedding. But the bottom line to me is this
Jeff Bezos is worth two hundred and twenty billion dollars.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
If he wants to have it over the.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Top audacious, ridiculous, opulent, insanely rich wedding, let him.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Why do you care?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
This guy's a self made billionaire born in New Mexico
divorce parents. His mom attended night school and brought him
with her when he was a baby. Bezos attended three
different schools in three different states. He worked as a
line cook at McDonald's for the breakfast shift in high school,
and he was insanely smart every step of the way.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
This dude's self made, and I get it.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
He has his faults, as we all do, especially people
who own companies employee thousands of people. But this is
also a guy who's pledged to donate most of his
wealth to charity. He's already given nearly three quarters of
a billion to homeless causes, and that'll never be enough
in the eyes of some people.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
But in the end, who cares what people think?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
If I were worth two hundred twenty billion, I'd give
away most of my wealth also. But you could bet
your ass if I want to splurge on a wedding,
or unlimited amounts of beef jerky or a nineteen fifty
two tops Mickey Man, a rookie cart, or a night
out with Charlie sheend and evolves Hooker's blow in an
early morning stop at waffle House.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm gonna do it because I can.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
And I'm sure as hell not going to care what
a has been lesbian and a movie star who probably
banged every director in hot get a roll has to
say about it.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Wow, where to go from the tell us how you
really feel? Somehow Jeff Bezos and waffle House and Rosie
O'Donnell all got mixed in there in the same rand,
same conversation. And I'm sure Rosie knows the waffle house pretty.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Well, at least for her early days. Oh no, now
she's in Ireland and I don't think they have waffle
houses on Ireland.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Oh that's right. She escaped the country, she escaped her
her oppressor.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
Let me just say this. I will give her credit.
She said she was going to leave and she did.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yeah, at least she's true to her word. Yeah, unlike
the other phonies that kept saying, well, we're leaving or
we're not coming back and everything else.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
So yeah, she along with Ellen both left. Yeah, big loss.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Nobody misses him. No, I'm just saying, but I respect
them for at least keeping their word right, right, No,
I want to.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Go back to what he initially started with, which was
the conservative talk and that whole conversation. Listen, you know
what you're tuning into.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
First of all, you should.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
You should.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Sometimes it goes a little off center.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
But yeah, I e days of our lives conversation. But yeah,
that is what we're here to do, I would like
to say. And I before I even knew this was
going to be part of the conversation this morning, I
completely was prepared to come in this morning to call
out President Trump on some comments he made yesterday during

(07:33):
the tour of Alligator Alcatraz, and one of them was,
snakes are fast, but alligators were going to teach them
how to run away from an alligator. Don't run in
a straight line, run like this, and he made a
zigzag with his hands and you know that, you know what,
Your chances go up about one percent. So what he

(07:54):
was talking about was he was asked a question if
if one of the the folks that are staying there,
they're not incarcerated, I don't know the right terminology, let's
put it that way, tries to escape. Is that why
it was built where it was built in Florida, because
then the alligators are going to be retroactive patrolman, if

(08:19):
you will. That was in bad taste his response. And
I have no I have no qualms in calling him
out on that because it was in bad taste. Listen,
no matter what he does, the people that hate him
are gonna hate him. But with what we do, and
Otis does it and I do it also. We are

(08:41):
here to give you our views, our opinions, whether they're
positive or negative on everything, whether it's politics or whether
it's days of our lives in Bow and hope. We
are here to give our commentary.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
We're not going down that road again.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
No, no, But I'm just I'm I'm trying to compare
two polar opposites. You know, that's what we're here for.
But I think it's funny that, as I said, I
was completely prepared to come in here this morning and
talk about the bad taste comments that he made yesterday
because they were in bad taste. So and you always

(09:21):
have a choice. It's called a button. You can switch
it if you don't want to listen to us.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
You can always listen to reruns.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
You could, Yes you could, Yes you could. It's seven fifteen. Listen.
We got a busy show ahead of you, including coming
up in the eight o'clock hour. It is Wednesday, so
of course we've got politics unleashed. It's seven to fifteen
on your Wednesday. The Bluem Daddy Experience Sam and Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA seven one. Welcome back on

(10:01):
your Wednesday. The Bloomdatty Experience Sam and Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA Real Quick, Rich. I want to let
you know received your entry for our free lunch. Because
usually on Wednesdays, we pick our winner for our free
lunch thanks to our friends at River City. Rich, I'm
going to hold on to your email for next week,

(10:23):

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Most people don't work on that day. No, and we

lunch on Friday. Sorry about your luck.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
No, sorry, Rich, but I want to let you know
did receive it, but we'll hold on to it for
next week. Next week, so a couple other things real quick.
Got a text in regards to the prior conversation. Our
text line seven zero four seven zero if you want
to reach out, also if you have comments on anything
again seven zero four seven zero. Start off the body

(10:59):
of the text with Bloomday. That's how we get it.
But Wendy said, lol ZiT infected teams don't hear that often.
So yeah, she's right, She's right, a great line. But
as soon as he said that, I just envisioned, well
you could, Yeah, everybody everybody knows that look.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
And anything with Charlie Sheen blow and hookers in one
line in waffle house on the same line. Well yeah,
well no, but Rosie was the same line.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Oh, I got you.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
I'm just saying, in the same sentence, it was Charlie
Sheen Hooker's blow in waffle house.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
That sounds like a fun night. It depends on.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
I mean, depends how much fun you want to have.
I guess Oh, She'm just gonna leave it at that.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Okay, Well, talking about I guess fun, I'm gonna I'm
gonna change it to winning. Winning yesterday, folks, ladies in particular,
win yesterday for protecting women in sports. If you did
not see her, if you have not heard, the University
of Pennsylvania has agreed to bar males from women's sports.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
And keep in mind, pen is the school where Leah
Thomas the swimmer went to school exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Kind of the big spark.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Yeah, but it's kind of like the damage has already
been done, so you.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Know, you can't put the genie back in the bottle, right,
you know.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
I mean, it's why didn't you do this two years ago?
Because you were trying to be too politically correct and woke,
and now that woke is dying and you think that, Okay,
we're gonna make this right now. Well, sorry, you already
screwed up. And I hope because there's there's former swimmers
and whatnot filing lawsuits against University of Pennsylvania because of this,

(12:57):
and I hope they take them for everything they.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Get to And we're talking millions and millions of dollars.
One thing though, that is coming out of this that
you know, the money is good, but the history I
think is even better. That one of the big things
that's happening is with this resolution, the University of Pennsylvania
is going to restore all the division ie women's records

(13:22):
in titles or similar recognitions to the women who actually
did win them.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
So they're basically removing Leah Thomas, yes, yes, whatever his
name is.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, get the erasers out, ladies and gentlemen, because being
wiped from the record books and rightfully so, rightfully so,
and listen as you said, otis you know, basically you
can't put the genie back in the bottle. Hopefully, though,
this will ignite another spark in the right way as

(13:55):
it did initially and it was a snowball effect. Hopefully
this will become a snowball effect in restoring the rightful
titles to the rightful women, in restoring the safety, the
sanctity and the women only sports.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
So it's like the University of Pennsylvania is the Titanic,
and so they've already hit the iceberg and now they're
trying to scoop the water off the Titanic with a
five gallon bucket.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
It's just again, it goes back to in this day
and age, the fact that we even have to have
this discussion is absurd. That is what is so ridiculous.
But finally, you know, to the women that have have
been fighting the fight, especially Riley Gaines and her entire team,

(14:49):
she didn't ask for this, No, she didn't ask for this.
She became the poster child. And then because she was
the one standing next to him on the platform, she
took the opportunity and had the cajones.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
More so than him. Well, well he had them.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
She just used them right to make a difference.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Well, and the little girl, the swimmer, the former swimmer
from penn that's part of the lawsuit. I can't remember
her name. She's got a great Polish name because there's
like forty two letters in it, like one bow.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
You know.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
You know. The thing is her quote this morning, what
I read because obviously we didn't have this sounds on
but she said, it's not about me. It's about the
future generations, and it's about doing what's right. And I
thought that was just outstanding for, you know, for a
young twenty four to twenty five year old person to

(15:49):
realize that and that it isn't about her. Although I mean,
I hope she gets compensated, and I hope, I hope
she walks out of that with ten million, twenty million dollars.
I mean, I hope she gets it. But you know,
it's about it's about principle, and it's about sticking up
for women's rights.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Well and reading commentary on social media when this was
announced yesterday, of course the woke parents are out there saying,
is this what you voted for? Is this what you want?

Speaker 6 (16:17):
It is?

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yes, it is what I voted for.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yes, absolutely, one hundred percent. This is what I voted for.
Did I vote to close the borders? Absolutely one hundred percent.
Did I vote to ship the illegals out of this country?
Absolutely one hundred percent. I'm so tired of that being
the thing that they go back to, is this what
you voted for? Is this what you Yes? You can
stop asking that question any day now.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
They always say, well, the majority of Americans don't agree.
The majority of Americans voted the president in to do this. Yes,
so you're absolutely there, You're wrong again.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yes, yes, yes, so once again, Yes, this is what
we voted for, and yes we will say it on
conservative talk radio because yes, that is what we're here
to do. Common sense, Yes, common sense seven twenty eight.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience coming up a
conversation about the Triple B the Big Beautiful Bill here

(17:15):
on news radio eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
The Senate passed Big Beautiful today. Now it goes back
to the House and Elon Musk now has stepped up
his criticism of the bill he once called a disgusting abomination.
He's also renewing his threat to form a new political party.
Let spring on Anthony Russo, national political analyst, right now
to talk about that. Anthony, what do you think of Musk?
I mean, if he launched a new party, he's got

(17:45):
the money to do some damage.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
He said it would represent the eighty percent of people
in the middle.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
What do you make of this?

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Well, I think he's accurate.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
I hate to say this as a Trump Trump supporter
and Trump voter, And again, I don't know what kind
of the horse and pony show they're doing behind the scenes,
and is this an act and you know their fight
back and forth. But I think one of the things
that Trump represents is a third party, so I don't
know if he'd really be against it once his time
is done in the presidential seat. I think that we've

(18:18):
talked about this for so long, and the one thing
that keeps us from having a powerful third political party
is the fact that the Democrats and the Republicans hold
too much power, two different wings of the same bird.
And I think it's an interesting thought that somebody with
exponential finances, you know, never ending, the ability to continue
to dump money into a new political party would actually

(18:40):
consider it. The question is is Elon must be altruistic
in it? But I think that he does speak for
the eighty percent in this sense, and I think that
it could be a really interesting thing to watch. Vegas
betting odds are showing that it is something to watch.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Do you think Musk has hurt his own credibility? And
what I mean by that is this guy's all in
on Trump. They're bros that they love each other, and
then all of a sudden, as soon as he doesn't
get what he wants, he's going scorched earth on Trump.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
I think the only like this doesn't bother me. I
think the one message with the whole Epstein Island and
that that one was unhinged a little a little bit
like all right, we're now we're just playing weird social
media games. That one I think did hurt his credibility.
This concept where he actually took a vote. There was
six million votes on x showing that eighty percent of

(19:29):
people believe that there should be a third party. If
you have conversations with with everyday Americans across the board,
I think all of us would agree there needs to
be a powerful third party to challenge this establishment bull
crap that we deal with on a regular basis. So
I don't think this hurt his credibility. I don't think
the fight with Trump hurt his credibility. I think one
or two tweets didn't make him look good. But at

(19:50):
the end of the day, he gets to play the
well he's on the spectrum card a little bit, So
maybe that's the way that he gets Maybe that's the
way that he gets out of it in all reality.
But but I think it's I don't think this hurts
his credibility at all. If anything, this makes it more
endearing to people that are paying attention.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Which party doesn't hurt more if he does this the
Republican or Democratic?

Speaker 7 (20:11):
Well, the only reason it's the Republicans, but he hurt
He hurt the Democrats by by kind of shifting into
Trump's quarter corner. And right now. The reason why it
would hurt the Republicans the most because they're the party
right now that kind of that holds the holds the
conscient proverbial terms. They're the ones that have the power
right now, even though it is slight, but I think
that they have the stronghold on the narrative in the

(20:34):
nation right now. So it would hurt them because it
does take away some of their balance. And there's a
lot of Republicans that have come to follow Elon Musk
and I'm one of them, where I mean, I'm still
am siding with Trump in a lot of ways, but
I think his concerns with this bill is valid. And
I think that the the ultimate look that we have
always said that we'll just we go with it. We
do the best we can, and you have to have

(20:55):
the two parties. You have to stick up for your team,
and you have to play the political game. I think
that he's changing the paradigm on that philosophy and we'll
see where it goes.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't think.

Speaker 7 (21:05):
I don't think it ends up well for him, Like
I don't think it becomes it success successful. But to
say that there's a chance, I think is a big deal.
I think there's a chance.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
All right, Anthony, thanks for the insight, as always, take
it easy, all right, Anthony Russo, National political Analyst.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Well, first of all, I took a lot of my
questions that I had for Elgin later on in the
show out of there. But I can't help but agree
or and also disagree with a lot that was said there.
First of all, Elon Musk and I know they made
a joke about it about being on the spectrum. He

(21:41):
is different. He is his mind works differently, is what
I mean. And he also has the platform to say
I think what a lot of people want to say.
But I completely, one hundred percent agree that his credibility

(22:03):
has lost a lot of standing with folks because of
the fallout, because of the the lower personal level digs
he took at President Trump during the quote unquote breakup
as people are are referring to it as the third party.

(22:25):
Is interesting. It is interesting because how many folks have
you spoke to, I know I have where when they
are discussing who to vote for, especially a president. How
many people say to themselves or have said to you,

(22:45):
or think to yourself, the lesser of two evils? What
is I'm going to vote for who I think is
the lesser of two evils.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
That's basically how I've voted for the president since two thousand, right,
I mean other than and this last the last two elections.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
But yeah, that that should not be how people decide
to vote for who is going to run our country.
There should be a third option because number one, it
takes that out of the conversation. Number two, it puts

(23:22):
up more of a challenge.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Well it it it depends on who the third party is.
I mean, because here's the thing. You don't want somebody
like Mundabi from New York City, New York City, you
don't want that. You don't you know, if you're gonna
look at a third party, you have to look at
somebody that is a little bit left, a little bit right,

(23:46):
probably more centered than the current Republican Democratic Party. You know, Okay, hey,
you know, can we can if we go this route
to the right a little bit, can we maybe give
a little bit to the left? Yeah, okay, let's say
we don't have to go to each end of the spectrum.
You see what I'm saying, right, And I think if

(24:08):
you find a candidate that is blue collar, that you know,
comes up, well, it comes up with great ideas. You know,
no taxes on Social Security, no taxes on overtime, no
taxes on tips, things like that. I think both sides

(24:28):
could agree on that, you know, I think you could
sell that. If it's not because it's Trump's idea, the
left will never go for it. Even though they agree
with it, They're never going to vote for it because
that's what they're taught to do well.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
And that's what endeared Trump from the moment he came
down that escalator was the fact that he had ideas
and he could speak to the American citizen, the blue collar,
the the every day a working man, other.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Than Joe Biden saying oh, if you ain't black, you're
you're not for me, or something like that.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, well that along with.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
He told the worker to shut up, you know, the
one factory worker, because the factory worker disagreed with him,
he told him to shut up.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Oh yeah, that was that was vicious.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
That.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
I mean, it's just like you, you're not endearing yourself
to anybody, but yet you're telling lies about your life
in Scranton. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
But Tim Walls, I mean he can work on a truck.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Yeah, that made you want to talk a truck.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
All right.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
We digressed there a little bit. But the other part
I think with Trump, yes, he's a Republican, but if
you look back in his history, he has as the
political parties have changed, he has changed with the parties.
He has not been a lifelong Democrat a lifelong Republican,

(25:54):
which I can say the same thing for myself. I
was raised in a Democratic household. But as I saw
the direction that party was going, I said to myself,
this is not These are not the ideals of the
Democratic party I was raised and taught about. They've flip flopped.

(26:18):
They've flip flopped. And that is where I think a
lot of the older generation of Democrats fifties, early sixties,
they think it's still the same party, and it's not
it's not even remotely a glimmer of its old self.
But when you look at the president, he was a

(26:40):
Republican in the eighties, he went to the Reformed Party
in the nineties, the Democratic Party in two thousand and one,
and then back to the Republican Party. I find that
is better leadership. Somebody he's willing to listen, learn, compromise
and change their opinions instead of blinders on because compromise

(27:05):
is what is missing in our government. So if there
is a third party, will that make them work harder?
I don't know. Seven forty six. We got more of
that to talk about coming up in the eight o'clock
hour with Politics Unleashed again. Seven forty six The bloom
Daddy Experience samon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome Back.

(27:35):
Seven fifty one The bloom Daddy Experience samon Otis News Radio,
eleven seventy WWVA. A couple quick local things and some sports.
So there are new rules in Belmont County. If you're
going to have a big party, no, I'm kidding, a
big event in Belmont County. They have updated some rules

(27:57):
for mass gatherings, organizers are now required to make sure
there are enough restrooms thank you at large events in
adequate roads to and from these events, officials say. The
regulations are specifically four events that last longer than six
hours and have more than two hundred folks in attendance.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
I wonder if that's for like, you know, like a
what's the event that they had, like the Christmas in
where you walked around and you did the light up night? Maybe?
You know, is it for that or is it for
to kind of keep a handle on like people that
want to protest?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Oh oh, I didn't even consider Yeah, mass gatherings. They're
not yeah, yeah, not necessarily events Normally, if.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
You would schedule a let's just say, some sort of
a protest like they had the whatever that note King's
Day or whatever it was. So let's say you have
more than two hundred people at the Belmont County Courthouse, Well,
now you can disperse them because did you ord report it? John?
Did you do this? Did you do that? And you
didn't meet the requirements?

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Yeah? I was thinking when I read this, I was
thinking events like you said, like something on like fun events.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Not I think it's the I think. I think it's
put in there for the other ones.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
It's a good workaround without setting.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Off, without saying it, without saying what.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
It is, yeah yeah, or gathering more protests boom. Also
for Pittsburgh, if you don't have anything going on, you
might want to volunteer for this. The airport is looking
for volunteers for a dress rehearsal ahead of its new
terminal opening. Is it finally opening? The airport is looking

(29:45):
for three to four thousand volunteers who will reenact what
the opening day of the new terminal will look like
in an effort to have a smooth first day when
it does actually open. The volunteers will work as passengers
and will follow scripts as they move throughout the terminal.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Okay, people people work with me. I've ever seen when
they when you have like a director or somebody.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah, so who shape so, who's going to bring the
screaming kid? Who is going to bring the emotional support giraffe?

Speaker 5 (30:22):
I mean just dressed as a pilot. But you dressed
as a pilot, you just pull your bag through.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Well, they're the ones that get to cut lines, That's
what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Well, you don't have to they maybe they think you're
a pilot, so I just pretend to be a pilot.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Well, who's gonna, you know where's going to be the
frustrated husband with the you know too toddlers.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
And they're looking for volunteers. I mean, are they going
to give you anything like the sandwich or cookies or
bottle of water?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Volunteers to read for nothing?

Speaker 5 (30:49):
To be volunteer, you normally do it for nothing.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Okay, Yeah, I guess it's built into that terminology. It's
one thing to volunteer for charity. It's another thing to
volunteer for re enacting a horrible day at the airport
because I'm sorry, there's not a good day at the airport.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Do you plan on going to Chicago anytime soon?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Chicago?

Speaker 6 (31:10):
No?

Speaker 4 (31:11):
I drove through Chicago. Don't ever want to do that again.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
There's actually there's a band that I wouldn't mind going
to see next week in Chicago. Where they're they're in Rosemont,
which is outside but it's Tuesday and Wednesday next week,
so that's their two dates that they're there.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Who is it?

Speaker 5 (31:27):
Roger Clin and the Peacemakers. So but you know, i'd
also like to go to Chicago just to see a
Cubs game. I mean, I've never been to Wrigleyfield, but
if I go, I don't think I'm going to be
able to do this.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well, ask the airport if you can volunteer for dress
rehearsal and just catch a flight while you're there stow away.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yeah, well I can actually Airbnb. You can now rent
the mansion that was once owned by Michael Jordan. Oh
so it's a It can accommodate up to twelve guests,
seven bedroom, seventeen and a half bathrooms. What the mansion
features a movie theater, a cigar lounge, a salon, and

(32:08):
of course a basketball court, regulation sized basketball court. It's
not cheap, though, I bet whant it take a stab on?
What a week long rental?

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (32:17):
A week long.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
So let's just say, like you're in Chicago, you're probably
looking at it about two hundred and fifty bucks to
three hundred bucks a night for a hotel room, so
a week would be like around twenty one hundred bucks.
So let's just so, what do you think is Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
I'm thinking it's probably ten to fifteen grand a night.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Try one hundred and twenty one thousand.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
For the week. For the week, Well, I was close,
I said, possibly fifteen grand a night.

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Oh okay, So I mean I said, I thought you
meant for the week.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
No, no, no, no, I met per night. Yikes.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Yeah, even with my even if I took twelve of
my richest friends, I wouldn't be able to afford to
get with it. Yeap No, this is let's say, hey,
let's split it by twelve Okay, that's ten thousand apiece.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah, this doesn't fit with than the girl trip budgets.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
I struggle to make my house payment, which is under
one thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Well, does the salon come with somebody to do your hair?

Speaker 5 (33:09):
It depends on what the amenities are like. If you do,
you get a referee for the basketball court.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
I mean it's nice to have a cigar lounge, but
if it's empty, do you.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
Get complimentary cigars?

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Right?

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah, I guess you'd have to look and see what
the amenities are. You probably gotta pay.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
For Wi Fi seventeen bathrooms.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
Down seventeen and a half.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Oh, I'm sorry, seventeen and a half. Listen, I don't
care if you have an entire basketball team. There two
teams practicing seventeen bathrooms.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Well, everybody could take a shower at the same time,
not with each other. You see what I'm saying. Well,
unless you know that's that's in your game plan, which
sometimes isn't a bad thing.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Everybody likes to have fun on vacation, A little little experiment.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Lit co ed lit co ed basketball going on.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Boy, that's a lot of bathrooms.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
A lot of money.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
I don know if I'd want to be in Michael
Jordan's house, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
I'm trying to think of a super former house.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Well yeah, but I'm trying to think of a celebrities
house that i'd want.

Speaker 5 (34:13):

Speaker 4 (35:03):
It's eight oh six on this Wednesday. That being said,
we are getting into politics. Unleash as we wait for
the phone call from queenee princess.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
The Queen's got to get off of her throne.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
No, no, we've got time. We've got time, quick little
thing as we wait for that. A recent survey of
two thousand Americans grill owners revealed the quintessential summer experiences.
As you're planning your Fourth of July picnic includes the
grilling sense, time near water, and pull relaxation. So there

(35:40):
are the three things to make a perfect holiday weekend.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
And you know who's got that down pat and didn't
invite us anywhere? Aljim McCarthy, Oh thanks for the Fourth
of July. Invite their queen Vicious.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
That was.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Yeah, after we beg we don't want to come over,
We're not wanted.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Oh oh, you're always welcome. Anyone's always welcome.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
Anyone you hear that. Let's road trip. Let's get a bus,
there we go. The thing is nobody other than say,
nobody knows where they're going.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
That's right, well exactly, And you know what, did I
tell you that the fee is equal to that which
Michael Jordan charges for.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
His You know you are a struggling attorney.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
I am. I am very much struggling.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Good morning, Yes, good morning. Have you forth to you?
I'm really looking forward to the holiday weekend, unlike some people.
But we're not going to hit on that today. But
are you on Diddy Watch speaking of being a lawyer,
are you following.

Speaker 6 (36:57):
Oh my goodness on that. Yeah, I've been watching it.
I think this is just completely just the hunch. I
believe that they're going to come back guilty on all
the underlying counts, and the judge knows that, and the

(37:19):
Rico count it requires two predicate acts over a period
of ten years, right in order. The question is I
think or they're struggling. I think the jury's thing. Okay,
so is this a criminal enterprise or was this just
something like did he make profit out of it? I
don't think he did. Did he violate the federal law

(37:42):
on the travel interstate? Yeah? He did so. I think
all this underlying counts are probably accurate, but they're struggling
with the rico and rico is really hard to prove
it is, it is not. It's a very complex statute
and it requires there's a lot of Uh, it's more

(38:03):
than a conspiracy. It's a big it's bigger than a conspiracy.
And I think they if they were just charged a conspiracy,
it probably would have gotten it. But I think the
judge just wants it. If you if you found the
underlying charges to be guilty, then you know you need
to you need to just make this clean instead of
having to come back and retry it, because if you
if they retry the rico, they're gonna have to retry
everything else well.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
And I think it's confusing to jurors too. As you said,
they keep you know, asking questions and they've come to
a partial verdict, which that I have never really seen
happen before, where they have they have a decision on
three of the counts, but then the racketeering and and
like you said, the rico is where there seems to

(38:43):
be where they have not reached the verdict, and that
can be I'm sure that would be confusing.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
Well, it is, you know, and I think partial verdicts
do happen. I mean in other words, partial verdict is
I'm going to find you guilty on some counts and
not guilty on others. So I mean that that does
happen a significant amount. But when it comes to Rico,
do these underlying counts because you are guilty of the
underlying counts, does that necessarily mean you were running a

(39:11):
criminal enterprise? That's the question, that's the layman's question, and
I think that's where they're struggling. You know, Rico is
more mob, right, you know that kind of thing, and
I think there's just a certain amount of caution that
jurors have. Now, the same thing kind of happened with

(39:32):
a Karen Ray trials where she was found you know,
not guilty and or they were on mob that she
was sound. They were hung jury, so they came back
and tried her on everything again and they got to
do al conviction. So I mean, I think over prostitutorial
over each needs to be watched and discharged within what
you can prove. I think they're just hot and heavy

(39:54):
to get biddy.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
So so since we're talking about national trials, what about
the Brian Coberger, Well, he had you know that.

Speaker 6 (40:03):
I am sure that the families is the victim families
has are not less than happy. This pissed and I
think there there that comes from I lost my child,
you get to live. How is that has unfair? Especially
if you're admitting that you kill them. How is that there?

(40:24):
And I think the trade off is that he's waving
his right to appeal. He cannot appeal anything he was
put if he was sentenced to death, it is actually
more costly to keep somebody on death road than it
is to keep somebody life in prison. If you can't
believe that just because of all the appeals, it's going
to be appeal after appeal after appeal and you know,

(40:46):
seeking pardons, seating, you know, that kind of thing, and
it goes on for years and years and years and
there's no closure.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
And that keeps the families locked in all those appeals
on that back and forth. That just drags it on
and on on for those families.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
Right, you know, and you know there there's there's honor
amongst these. So I don't doubt that he's going to
get some retribution in jail, or he might be put
in solitary, Like can you imagine living in solitary for
the rest of your life? That's enough to drive you bonkers.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
That's why they call it solitary.

Speaker 6 (41:21):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
So as a defense attorney, like how like what would
be your what would be your address to those families?
Like like would would you would you have to address
those families or or you know, would that just be
something that you would do through the media. I mean,
you see what I'm saying. I mean you just you
kind of touched on a little bit there that you know,

(41:44):
to them, this is maybe not closure, you see, you
see what I'm saying. But I mean as a defense attorney,
how do you how do you side with your client?
I mean, I know sometimes that gets a little tough.

Speaker 6 (41:56):
Well, I think the way you side with your client
is that he's admitting to he's admitting to the crime,
you know what I mean, without having to put the
family through a lot of trial and tribulation. I mean
they would have to relive this event over and over
and over and over daily for a very lengthy trial

(42:17):
and then daily until you know, the appeals was through.
And I think it's closure he admitted that he did it.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Snri.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
You know, it's quite but it's never going to be enough.
It's just never going to be enough family, not for
someone who's lost the Chile no I have, especially in
such a with no motive with it was random.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Yeah, and if you I've watched a lot of documentaries
where you know, parents of young young adults, their children,
you know, are the victims. They absolutely hate the word closure.
I've heard that. I've seen that and heard that in
a lot of different stories where they say, you know,
that's all well and good, that's a great term to

(43:03):
throw around, but there never is closure because it is
your child and it never goes away.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
Right, right, So it can't it doesn't. I mean you can't.
You can't begin the loss of a child. I mean,
you're not supposed to bury your chap. It's just not
You're supposed to die before they do. And it's no
matter what the circumstance, it's always difficult. You know. There's
a lot of a lot of that, you know, with
drug overdoses, with random murder.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
I mean, it's there's just a regular illness, you know,
car accidents whatever.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not a pretty world, you know,
but it's the world we live in. It's just gotta
make the best best of every day.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Well, but that music means we need to jump to
a quick break. We will get into politics when we
get back. Yeah, we kind of kind of went off
there a little bit with the whole Diddy conversation that
we snowballed into other ones. So we'll get into politics
when we get back. First we're going to hit on
the Big Beautiful Bill fifty to fifty vote with a

(44:05):
tie breaker by the Vice President eight fifteen. You're listening
to the bloom Daddy Experience, Sam and Otis News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back. It's a twenty the bloom
Daddy Experienced Otis and Sam and Elgin News Radio eleven

(44:28):
seventy WWVA. Of course, when I say Elgin, we're talking politics,
politics unleashed here, So Elgin, first off, I want to
hit on the Big Beautiful Bill.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
JD.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Vans used his vote yesterday to break the tie in
the Senate. So what are your what are your thoughts
now that it goes back to the House. What are
your thoughts on all this?

Speaker 7 (44:52):
Well?

Speaker 6 (44:53):
I think it is a promise, promises made, promises kept
on the part of President Trump mcman astration. The Big
Beautiful Bill is designed to assist the middle class, though
there are many proponents obviously against it. The Democrats have
voted you know, bookline and sinker and locksteps against it

(45:16):
because they don't it's I believe it's TVs. There are
a couple of Republicans that are on the far right
and including you know, Elon Uh. With regard to the
spending that is associated with it, I think I think
it will pass. I think that any you know, taught
speaking politically, you don't pass this. We the Republicans, don't.

(45:42):
They lose the mid terms, you pass this. I think
they go through the mid terms. And I think that's
what the Democrats know. This is a completely political analysis
on the bill, not talking you know, the substance of it.
That that's a whole different area to discuss. But politically speaking,
President Trump was elected on these the promises that he

(46:04):
made and that are contained within the bill, and that
is the immigration, that is the cutting of dose. There
there are certainly cuts that are made. There are other
spending that are that are put in their place. Doesn't
increase the debt. It does increase the debt. But what
you need to also look at is that the money

(46:24):
and investments that corporations are bringing to the country, uh,
pay for it. So you know, you can't you can't
accumulate keeps accumulating debt if you don't have income. There
are tax cuts, and you know there there are different
economic uh you know, positions and with regard to it,
but you know, it's the Reagan philosophy of the trickle down.

(46:48):
You know, if you make tax cuts, then people invest,
They spend their money, that goes into the economy. Then
the in return that the uh you know, uh inflation
goes down uh and the investment goes up. So when
people have confidence in the economy, they spend their money.
When they don't have confidence in the economy like they

(47:08):
did in the Bide administration, it's like, well, where are
we going and what we're going to do with and
what is my money going to? That that causes people
to hold on to their money. When you're not sure
what the out what the future holds, then you hold
onto your money. I think this stock market is responding.
I think this past week the stocks were higher than

(47:31):
they've ever been. So there was a little drop again,
and there's always fluctuations in stock market, but that overall,
I think these are promises made promises kept. It's going
to you know, no no taxes on tips, no taxes
on overtime. That's huge. That's huge for West Virginia. Every
coal miner that works over time, no taxes. You know,

(47:52):
every waitress you know that that is struggling on a
very minimal salary, but you know makes up for it
in tips. They're not going to have to pay taxes
on that, so you know, it's it's all better. I
think it's going to be better. And I think those
who vote against it in Congress will be primary And
I don't know if you guys saw, but Willis in

(48:13):
the Senate who voted against it from North Carolina. I
think Trump Trump Trump quid or put out on x
or his social that he's going to primary him with
a very strong opponent. And I think that strong opponent
may there well be mar Trump oh Low.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Interesting, interesting speculation. And you mentioned some of the points
with the big beautiful bill. The one thing that really
catches my attention and needs to remain and I think
is one of the most positive aspects of this is
making the twenty seventeen Trump tax cuts permanent.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
Correct correct, because if not, it's like a twenty it's huge.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
It's a big jump.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
If they don't, Yeah, it's a huge jump. And without it,
I mean then people will it will attack the economy
if it's not passed. So it is very interesting. It
is very interesting.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
Now there is a lot of concern and I've just
read up on this briefly, so I beg my pardon,
but there is a lot of concern when it comes
to Medicaid funding, especially for rural small hospitals, and that
of course hits us right here on our own backyard.
There is a lot of concern with this and that,

(49:34):
and then there's also a lot of concern with raising
the federal debt. So I can understand the criticism when
it comes to things like that when it in this bill.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
Well, and I think what people need to realize is
my understanding that the seventeen million people that are losing
the Medicaid are the seventeen million illegal immigrants that are
currently on it. Yeah, so I don't know that it
affects those that are legitimately on it. I think it's
part of the dose, it's part of the looking at
who is getting the Medicaid. So, yes, there are cuts

(50:08):
to the extent that the cut is if you are
it's part of the immigration issue, and if you are
an illegal immigrant, you don't get medicaid period and that's
a huge cut.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
And another portion of this bill that I completely agree
with is welfare reform that you know, there are going
to be things now built in where work requirements for
able bodied adults, like there has to be proof you can't.
It's become unfortunately, the way that that was designed has

(50:40):
become a way of life for a lot of folks
where it's being taken advantage of. And it has been
for decades. And this has been needed for a very
long time.

Speaker 6 (50:52):
Oh yes, I mean I think you know, if you
look back into history with President Clinton, I think he did.
He he made welfare reform to the extent that there
was you know, you needed to have a job, you
know you needed to is a hand hand up as
opposed to hand out. You know, that's the Republican philosophy

(51:12):
is we don't give people fish, we teach them how
to fish. That is probably the layman's comparison, but that
you're right. I mean there should be some accountability. Drug testing, Yeah,
should absolutely be a requirement of welfare. I mean, you know,
if you're working on a any coal miner job, pipeline job,
you know other jobs you need to pass random drug tests. Well,

(51:34):
why should you not have to pass the random drug
test if you're getting a handout, right, you know you
know you can't. And it's just difficult people. People. You
can't be Santa Claus and take a gift back.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Yeah, it's long overdue. It's long overdue, long overdue. We
got some more things to get into and we'll be
getting this is shortly. One thing I want to hit on.
Coming up next. Elon's added again. We've mentioned him a
couple of times already. He's been out there. You can't
say tweeting anymore, posting left and right about a third party.

(52:09):
I want to get your thoughts on that. It's eight
twenty eight. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience. Samon
Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA A thirty six, continuing
the conversation Politics Unleashed with Elgie mccartal. Before I get

(52:31):
to that, I just want to thank Dvo for his message,
he says, and this is according to Google, it's still
perfectly fine to say tweet when referring to posts on X,
so clearing that all up good, it's okay to say tweets.
So Davo, thank you for that quick message this morning.
I feel I feel much more grounded now I can

(52:51):
say I can say tweeting, so we're all good. There,
I don't right right so now, so now we have clarified,
clarified that you sent us something during the break, I
wanted to hit on from a state level. It was
announced yesterday on X by Senator Shelley Moore. Capito thrown

(53:14):
an extremely proud that POTUS has chosen two stellar candidates
to be West Virginia's newest US attorneys, Matt Harvey in
the Northern district and more Capital in the southern district.
I look forward to supporting their quick confirmations that they
can get to work on behalf of West Virginia. So
some changes here happening here in the state. Kind of

(53:38):
got some mixed results with that tweet on X. There's
a lot of you know, nepotism is pretty much filling
a lot of the comments there, but then there's a
lot of congratulations. So it's kind of a little bit
fifty to fifty there on that post. What are your thoughts.

Speaker 6 (53:58):
It is, you know, and you know it's always difficult
when you have the nepotism issue, But the question is
are the show individuals qualified to do show? You know, well,
Capital is a good attorney who's practiced for a long time,
and it is. It is a political appointment, no matter

(54:20):
how you slice to taste. I find it funny actually
because when President Trump first took office and he cleared
out all the US attorneys, those are all political appointments.
You served at the pleasure of the president who who
nominates you, but then you shows have to be confirmed

(54:42):
by Congress. So when that first came out we cleared
out the offices, I don't know how many people said
to me, Hey heard you're in the You're the front
runner for the position in the northern district. He say, want,
that's funny because I didn't even put my name in,

(55:03):
so people have perceptions it is a political appointment. And
because of my involvement with politics and and you know,
obviously being an attorney and having been an assistant United
State's Attorney, that that went around a lot. And I
didn't put my name in. But it is a political
appointment no matter how you slice the cake. It is
a presidential appointment. No matter how you slice the cake,
you have to have some political juice, so to speak,

(55:27):
to get the position. So it's it's it's a double
edged sword that he's centered the top of his son.
But that doesn't mean that it's a bad appointment just
because he's her son, right, you know, but I do
it for my daughter, sure would I do it for
my son, sure, you know. So you know, it's just
people need to get just simmer shimmer down.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Simmer down. Yeah, wasn't that an snl Skit wasn't that
an snl skit simmre down? Now they say that something.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
Yes, yes, And Matt Hart Harvey is is the Jefferson
County so he's from the eastern Panhandle, and he has
been the state of the Jefferson County prosecutor there, so
he's got prosecutorial experience. So on the more capitol is
more on the corporate civil side. But there are two

(56:18):
branches to the US Attorney's Office. One is the criminal division,
one is a civil division. So you know, you also
have a line line assistance underneath you show it's and
those people are pretty much there and have been there,
so it's an administrative position. I think it'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
Yeah, people, I mean people jump very quickly on things, and.

Speaker 6 (56:39):
They do they do. And you know, just with a big,
beautiful bill, with anything in politics, there's so much that
goes on, you know, deep down. Would you want to
sit and listen to the reading of the thousand page
bill and the debate? Come on, folks, there's a lot.
It's not like they just go and vote. They're provided

(57:02):
with the bill or provided with the nominations. You know,
he still has to go through Congress. So if anybody
watched the congressional hearings on the appointments for like keep
headships or ham bonding, they're not no, you know, it
is what it is. Yeah, So folks just chow.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
Out, well well speaking, you know, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (57:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
I was just gonna say, kind of turning a little
bit back to a national level talk about jumping and overreaction,
and and Elon Musk is back in the conversation. He
tweeted yesterday, if this insane spending bill passes, the America
Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs
an alternative to the Democrat Republican uniparty so that the

(57:51):
people actually have a voice. Would a third party be
a good or a bad thing?

Speaker 6 (58:01):
No? I mean I think we sort of have a
quote unquote third party, though not formally recognized that they're
called the independence you know, and they're the swing. They
always swing the votes one way or the other. So
either party, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, when
you go into the national election or you need to
get the independent votes, and the independent votes are usually

(58:24):
the moderates, moderate Republicans moderate, you had Democrats and they
fall in the middle. It's the extreme right and the
extreme left that make things crazy, now, you know. I
find it interesting that well true to form politics can
change in a minute, you know, when Trump first won

(58:47):
and the big showdown with Doege and the Vike and
Elon Musk and Trump the Vikes on his own whether
for Ohio governor. Now Elon is back to his corporate
and Trump's you know, still with president and Elon. I

(59:09):
think I certainly can't speak for him. I'm not you know,
authorized to speak for him. But my hunch is that
Elon said, I did all this stuff to expose the waste,
and now you're still spending. Well, he did expose the waste.
But that doesn't mean you have to quit spending. I mean,

(59:29):
we are the federal government, you are. I mean it
has to be run. You have to have a government,
and it has to be funded. Is it being funded
by taxpayer dollars per per this administration's policy. No, he's
bringing in corporations to uh, you know, invest here. The

(59:50):
terriffs are bringing corporations here. There was there was one
this week that just came over. Ge Appliances. I think
they came over and they're going to be in Kentucky. Apple,
all of the AI stuff, I mean, there's just the
bitcoint all kinds of things are coming back to the
stage for production by virtue of the tariffs. You know,

(01:00:15):
you don't want to pay why manufacture or something in
China and then have to pay a huge tariff to
get it into the United States. So is evening the
the playing field?

Speaker 4 (01:00:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think and again I think
it goes back to the fact that we are I
don't know if I mentioned this with you last week
or I did earlier this or this week, but we
have a president who is a man of action. It's
not just lip service, which is what we have gotten for,
you know, the past twenty thirty years. He's he's put

(01:00:53):
the ball in motion and he's fulfilling what on the
campaign trail he said he was going to do. And
I think it's shocking and jarring to a lot of
folks because we're not used to seeing this happen.

Speaker 6 (01:01:09):
No, I mean we're only eight months in.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
Yeah, right, right, you're eight.

Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
Months in and it's and he indicated that he wanted
this bill pass by the fourth of July, and I
think that that is a timing issue. And again, politics
is timing. It's timing because if you don't get it
past this, if you don't get past the fourth of July,
then you know, within a couple of months we're starting
into the mid term cycle. I think you need to

(01:01:36):
if you're going to declare to run. I think it's January.
So it's people. People don't look outside their immediate bubble. Yeah,
unless it's affecting you personally. It's very easy to criticize
what is going on when you're not in the trenches.

(01:01:57):
You know, if you're not in the no and you
have to understand how the whole system works, you know,
you can't give lip service to Oh, it's fall political
if you're not in the trenches one, if you don't
vote to if you don't participate in campaigns for your candidate,

(01:02:19):
it's you know, people who criticize from the outside without
knowing what's going on inside really should just keep the
mouth shut.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Well on that note, and timing is everything. Our time
with you is up. So you have a wonderful Fourth
of July weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
Well you too, And you know, hey, take tomorrow off.
Just I think Governor Morrisey gave everybody tomorrow off.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
Did you know that you Well, for the state, not
for not for us poor folks, but for the state employees.
They get it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
So I get it half a day. I get a
day off, but not a full day off.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):

Speaker 4 (01:03:59):
I'll shoot Okay, somewhere in China they did it, yes
and they start to run real fast and then they
kind of tip over and then they they pull they did.

Speaker 5 (01:04:08):
It's still soccer.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
They take about on stretchers. Sorry, and it makes me
laugh really hard for some reason. But yeah, oh man,

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
Whatever, Still soccer. I know I don't want soccer, but.

Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
I thought maybe it would be like high action, thrilling
robots soccer. No, No, it's not.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
Listen, they can't score in your life. You think robots
are gonna score any better?

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
It reminds me of remember in the eighties the wind
up toys where like they were they were like pigeon
toed and they'd walk it like foot over.

Speaker 5 (01:04:49):
It wasn't just the eighties, they were older than that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
Oh okay, that's what they make me think.

Speaker 5 (01:04:53):
You ever came to one of my Christmas parties, you
got one of those wind up toys, because that's what
my my mom would. You would get a like an
airplane bottle of booze. And depending on if you were
a boy or girl, it would depend on what you would.

Speaker 4 (01:05:09):
Get what type of boozem.

Speaker 5 (01:05:11):
Okay, so, and then like you, everybody got a wind
up toy. Guys got like slim gyms, girls got like something,
you know, like maybe a kitchen spoine, you know what
I mean. It was just like a little goodie bag.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Were you going to say a kitchen sponge?

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
Okay? Yeah, I mean so it was like a little
goodie bag. And it wasn't like the cheap ones that
you get at the Dollar Story. There's one that was supposed,
you know, supposed to hold up a little bit so
and a wind up toy. And everybody got a wind
up toy. And it get to the point where nobody
really cared about anything else except the wind up toys.
That went on for like twenty two years.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
Really, yeah, well, I'm gonna post this on our Facebook
page because if you haven't seen this and you just
want a good laugh to kick off your morning. Besides us,
this is this is definitely watched, worth of worth of view.
It's just I don't know. I don't know. It made
me chuckle this morning. Here's the name we haven't heard
for a while. George Costanza.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Airs a Seinfeld.

Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
YEP. If you don't know who that is, then we
can't be friends. The New York Yankees are releasing a
new Seinfeld themed bobblehead that features George Costanza where he's
napping under his desk. The first eighteen thousand fans attending
the game on August twenty first, which is Seinfeld Game.

(01:06:28):
The Seinfeld Game will receive the babblehead for free, but
the collectibles are already reselling on eBay for two hundred
and fifty dollars, five times the cost of the cheapest
of the game tickets. Costanzo worked for the Yankees from
the season five finale The Opposite through season eight The
Summer of George, including the episode The Nap where the

(01:06:51):
character explores new sleeping habits. The Yankees have embraced Seinfeld
over the years, with previous bobbleheads honoring Costanza's unsolidit that
in baseball advice, the.

Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Fact that the bibblehead is selling pre selling for more
than tickets is actually kind of funny. But that's you know,
And if you're going to do the bibbleheads, just do
enough for everybody, Like why stop at eighteen thousand, why
not just go to twenty five or whatever the Yankee
Stadium holds, Okay, because it's going to be a sellout anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
So wait a second, go back to the eBay thing.
So it's the first eighteen thousand fans, okay, So what
if you're not one of the first eighteen thousand fans,
but you're already selling a bubblehead.

Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
They're probably season ticket holders. So season ticket holders are
probably guaranteed.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
That's true. Okay, Okay, I was envisioning people waiting in line,
And how do you guarantee that you're.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
Maybe you can't one of the first, you know, when
you just say this item no longer available on eBay.

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
So, and here's a groundbreaking statistic. A study now finds
that men do not fully mature until the age of
forty three.

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
Keep going, because I haven't fully matured. I can honestly
tell you that keep going women. I'm way north of
forty three.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
Women mature eleven years prior to that.

Speaker 5 (01:08:22):
So what they can't say thirty two? I guess not.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
No, no, So did we really need a study to
tell us this, ladies? I do not think so. I
do not think so. It also depends on what you
consider maturity. If we are talking fart jokes, then no, men.
Men never mature, They never get to that level.

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
Or if you decide that you want to talk about
Charlie Sheen Hookers, blow and waffle House.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):
We got it back in.

Speaker 5 (01:09:00):
What more time can get it in before the end
of the show?

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
What more time we got it in? Oh Lord, Lord,
Lord Lord.

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
No bloom Daddy. Sometimes you know he's he's got words
of wisdom, and that was today's words of wisdom, partying
with Charlie Sheen, Hooker's Blow and waffle House.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Oh Foreigner's performing right now on TV.

Speaker 5 (01:09:21):
It's not the real Foreigner. B Lou Graham's not with them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
Okay, I know, I know so again, ladies, but you
want to know.

Speaker 5 (01:09:29):
What love is, watch Foreigner. That's the name of the song,
one of their big songs. Oh okay, it was from
like nineteen eighty five. It was one of those shows
I worked on what's now West Banko Arena Civic Center.
That was the runner for Foreigner, No Little One. That
was one of the uneventful ones. Didn't have to do
anything crazy or fun.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
No crazy, uh. List for the.

Speaker 5 (01:09:53):
Like Guns n' Roses was the was the ultimate as
far as when it came to like going and getting stuff,
cigarettes and booze. I mean it was like Charlie Sheen
was there.

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):
Maybe I need to come up with a list for you.

Speaker 5 (01:10:04):
I'm done. My running days are over. Unless it's a good.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
Band, I'll work on that over the holiday weekend. We
