Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:25):
So if you're looking for something.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Good to watch, I've been watching America's Team, The Gambler
and His Cowboys on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's absolutely riveting.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
This is about Jerry Jones buying the Dallas Cowboys, firing
Tom Landry, hiring Jimmy Johnson, and then building the Cowboys
into the dynasty of the nineties. Unbelievable footage, the interviews.
I mean, this is one of the best documentaries I
have seen in a long long time, and it's kind

(00:58):
of crazy. It goes over to the herschel Walkers. It
goes over how bad people hated Jerry Jones. He was
some hit from Arkansas. What's he doing buying our cowboys?
He's not from Texas. Who the hell is Jimmy Johnson?
What these guys went through in the beginning, the hate,
the death threats, the firing of a legend in Tom Landry,

(01:19):
trading away the best player in football at the time,
Herschel Walker. I mean, people called Jerry Jones and Jimmy
Johnson country bumpkins from Arkansas who didn't know what the
hell they were doing. I mean, the venom was real,
and what these guys fought through, what they persevered through,
and what they built is absolutely incredible. And I'll be

(01:41):
honest with you, one of the most intriguing parts of
the documentary, and I'm not all the way through it
as of yet, was when they brought on Charles Hayley
from the San Francisco forty nine ers. You know, they
drafted Michael Irvin, they drafted Troy Aikman, they drafted Emmitt Smith,
but they still didn't reached the level that they had

(02:02):
hoped until they brought in Norv Turner as the offensive coordinator.
But they were still missing an ingredient and Charles Haley
brought it.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
From the San Francisco forty nine ers.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
It was not only the winning pedigree that they needed,
but Charles Haley back then was absolutely nuts. And that's
one of the most intriguing things about this documentary. Is
they talk about it. He talks about it. He said, look,
you had Charles, you had Chuck, and then you had Charlie.
Chuck was the guy you didn't want to deal with.
Chuck was the guy in the back of the meeting
room doing unspeakable things.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
In front of everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
And as Charles Haley put it, I did whatever I
wanted to because I didn't give a blank. The interviews
with these guys now, the footage from back in the day,
and just how good this team was.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
For a long, long time in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I'm telling you it's a must watch America's team, The
Gambler and his Cowboys. It's on Netflix right now. All right,
I want to jump to a local story on.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
JB.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Mead If you don't know the story. He's facing some
felony charges right now. He's an auto dealer in Marshall
County multiple felony charges after investigators are saying he took
part in a scheme to overcharge the county for vehicles.
He along with Marshall County Magistrate Eric I'm sorry, Marshall

(03:28):
County Assessor Eric Buzzard. According to the investigators, these two
got together they had access to the county account obviously
Buzzard did for vehicle purchases since he was elected. In
twenty twenty one, the West Virginia Auditor's Office conducted an
audit later opened a fraud investigation. They discovered multiple vehicle

(03:48):
purchases made by Buzzard through JB's pre Owned Auto Sales.
That's a dealership operated by Mead, and apparently Buzzard and
Mead worked together to buy vehicles from other dealerships and
then resell them to the Marshall County Commission at higher prices.
And in some of these cases, auditors say county funds
were used for vehicles that record show were never really

(04:10):
never actually obtained. So they have the prices, they have
the vehicles, they have everything. And some of these price
differences ranged from about thirty six hundred and overcharges to
more than sixteen.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Thousand per vehicle. Now. Mead admitted, according to the investigators.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
During an interview, that he purchased the vehicles at Buzzard's
request then sold them to the county through Buzzard. Mead
also admitted he wrote Buzzard personal checks as part of
what he described as a kickback arrangement.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Now courting to the Auditor's office.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
JB.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Mead and Buzzard split at least sixty three.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Thousand dollars, and Mead also said he kept about thirty
one thousand for himself, and search warts were executed on JB.
Mead's personal and business accounts. Investigators reported finding checks written
to above consistent with the alleged scheme. Now, these vehicles
were purchased between June twenty sixth of twenty twenty two

(05:08):
and September nineteenth of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
I know JB.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Mead from way back playing softball in the Ohio Valley.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Always liked JB.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
But when I saw this, the sick feeling I got
in my stomach not only what JB was doing, but
obviously what Buzzard was doing.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
To Eric Buzzard.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I mean, you want to talk about betraying the people
of Marshall County. You're fleecing the taxpayers.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
This is in JB.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Mead and Eric Buzzard, you know, just screwing over a
couple of people. They were screwing over the entire county.
If you live in Marshall County, they were screwing over you.
Not giving a I am about what they were doing,
pocketing that money and continuing to do it, continuing to

(06:06):
do it. These are two individuals who need to pay
the price for their crimes. These are two individuals who
betrayed the trust of everybody in Marshall County. And I'll
tell you what, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes,
because out of all the counties in this Ohio Valley,

(06:29):
Marshall County is the one that I would not f
with because there are people in Marshall County, good people
that will knock your frickin teeth out. And if I'm
Merrick Buzzard, if I'm JB. Mead, I'm a little concerned.
I'm not condoning that. I'm not saying that should happen.
I'm just saying I'd be a little concerned if you

(06:51):
ever went to the tough Man Contest, usually a bunch
of guys from Marshall County or whooping everybody's ass.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm just pointing out the obvious.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
But you want to talk about a despicable act.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
You have it right here.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
JB.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Mead and Eric Buzzard should be ashamed.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
They embarrassed themselves, they embarrass their families and what they
allegedly have done with the taxpayers of Marshall County.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Unforgivable.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
The bloom Daddy Experience eleven seventy WWVA.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Good morning, welcome back, seven nineteen, the bloom Daddy Experience,
and all is right with the world, ladies and gentlemen,
because I am Sam and Da Da he is back
otis I'm back on.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
A couple of hours sleep, so everything, I'm still.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
On European time and time.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
I'm six hours ahead, so.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
It's it's Wednesday afternoon to you feels like it. Oh,
I don't think I've ever had chat lag. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
I don't, I don't. I don't think I have it. No,
I mean I fell asleep pretty early last night. I
mean because it had been a long day, so you know,
I mean I took off from Amsterdam at three o'clock
in the afternoon and I landed here at a quarter
to eight last night. So really, you know, your body
adjusts a little bit, so's it'll it'll catch up to
me where I'll probably have to have a nap today

(08:22):
around one o'clock, two o'clock something like that.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
So did you did you miss us? Did you miss this?

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Absolutely not?

Speaker 6 (08:30):
I knew that answer before I even ash. Though I
didn't bring you something, I know you did.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Brought you a little little something from Dresden, and I
have another little something for you, but again it's not finished.
So just I don't want to give it to you
as is. I want to I want to dress it
up a little bit.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
A little bit.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
Okay, interesting, So tell us, uh, tell us about your
your world travels.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Just you know, I mean, I'll get to spend some
time with a friend of mine in Amsterdam and visited
another classmate from my scene your year here was a
foreign exchange student as well, so we went down to
visit her at her house and she has little her
and her husband had a little farm in the southern
part of the the country. And then took a train

(09:13):
to Dresden, Germany. So I went to left Amsterdam to Frankfurt,
Frankfurt to Dresden and high speed train. At one point
in time, the train there was at one point in
time it was going one hundred and seventy miles an hour.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
What did that feel like? Could you feel that?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
No, didn't feel like you were but every once in
a while, because it was in kilometers and I'd get
my phone out and I'd have to do the conversion rate.
So I mean, i'd say the average speed was probably
about one hundred and forty miles an hour.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Now, you were over there for the World Transplant Games,
and if you follow us on our Facebook page, I
shared some of the different things that you did. But
you participated in darts.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Darts, three on three, basketball and bowling.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Now, big question, did you come back with a metal?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
I did?

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Where is it at your house?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
You know my doorknob in my bedroom.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
I was expecting you to come in this morning. I'll
triumphant with the metal hanging off your chest and yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
That's not who I am.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh I would, I'd be.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
Like I even had there's a perfect nail over here.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
In Okay, it's not staying here. No, okay, it's with
my other ones. And you want it in darts, right, Well,
I got the bronze and darts. So there were there
were four of us in pool in the pool play,
and I lost my first match and it just because
my butt puckered. I mean, I was so far ahead

(10:38):
of this guy. I mean I needed a six to
go out and he was still at like one seventy something.
I just kept busting busting by. I couldn't hit the six,
I'd hit the triple six, I'd hit the ten, that
hit the fifteen. I mean, I was like, I was
all over the place and the ten and the thirteen,
not the fifteen, but anyway, I mean, just I was
all over the place. And he came back and ended

(10:59):
up beating me in that game. And then so then
I went on to play the guy from the Netherlands
and I beat him, and he ended up going out
here that I was I was the only person to
beat him that day. He went on to win the gold.
So and then I beat the next guy fairly handily.
And then so I made it into pool play or not.

(11:20):
I'm sorry. I made it into the bracket, and I
just blew away the first two guys and then the
third guy. I just they I moved to a different
board and I couldn't find my spot, and I just
I couldn't hit anything I wanted. It's just, you know,
you're on for twenties and triple twenties. I'm hitting fives
and triple fives, and you know, just and even if

(11:42):
you move a little bit, you just it didn't work.
And he was and he was consistent, So there's you
know you're not Sometimes luck will help you in this.
In this case, it didn't, you know, my consistency, and
it just I just couldn't find it.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
So this is how many times now that you've done
the world transplant?

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Two seconds?

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (12:02):
Because last time you went where?

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Well, twenty eighteen I was in Newcastle, England, okay. And
then twenty twenty one they were scheduled to be in
Houston but they got canceled due to COVID, And then
twenty twenty three they were in Perth, Australia, but the
Summer Games actually there were in April, and because of
a prior commitment, I couldn't I couldn't pull it off.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
Australia would be cool.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
They said Perth was terrible. Oh a lot of people
that I talked to they were like it was dirty,
the hotel conditions and everything weren't great. No, they they said,
you really didn't miss anything.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Oh so maybe that part of Australia just wasn't the
place to the park.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Maybe yeah. And then like even the Australians were like,
it's in Perth, We're not going.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Oh that's bad. So that's not good.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yikes, you know, because you know, you obviously you meet
certain people. I mean, in fact, the guy that won
the gold medal in darts. As we were plane, we
got to talk to one another, and then you know,
I needed him to beat. He needed to win his
last match because that way there would be three of
us in our division that we two and one, and
then it came down to who moved on. Well, the

(13:13):
guy that beat me didn't move on, but because I
beat and he beat, you know, so it just it
was just how it worked out. And you know, so
I like, I'm watching that match and I'm rooting for
the guy from the Netherlands because I need him to
win because if he doesn't win, then I don't go
and or at least my shot was better to go
on if he wins, So you know, so I'm rooting

(13:36):
for him, and his wife's there, and I'm like, you know,
I'm trying not to show any emotions because I you know,
I met the guy from England and he's a nice
guy too. He's a little cocky, but he was nice,
and you know, it was just one of those things
where you're like, I'm trying not to show any emotion.
But I'm like, come on, man, come on man. And
then you know I gave him. I gave him credit

(13:57):
when he won the gold, which I was. I was
happy he won over the that beat me in the semis.
So you know, it's just one of those. And now
we're friends on Facebook. So how'd you.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
Feel after basketball?

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Not bad? Played two games. We're supposed to play three,
but we were Our third game was against India and
they forfeited. I think they had a couple of players
get hurt.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
So you won one.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
So we won one. Yeah, played. We were the oldest.
We were the oldest USA team. So you had a
guy that was fifty two, a guy that was fifty eight,
and the guy that was sixty three. And then we
had a girl that I don't know how she was,
but you know, she didn't help us and we didn't
help her.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
There was a bit of an age gap between.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Well, we played the German team and you know there,
I don't think there was anybody over thirty on that team.
Yeah that's and then the French they were small, but
they were like so I said, look, no matter what
where they shoot, because they weren't very good shooters. I said,
no matter where they shoot. Just make sure you box out,
because what they would do is they'd shoot and then
they crashed the board and they get their rebound and
put it in. I mean, there's I beat the hell

(15:01):
out of the one guy I mean I did. I mean,
I put a body on him, like they weren't tall.
And then they had a girl on their team. She
was pretty. She's a decent player. She had more hair
on her legs than I do. So okay. And then
Eugene sent us a couple of emails while we were
on vacation. I responded to him so because he was

(15:22):
a little nervous. But Eugene's been he's rehabbing right now.
I think he had a fall. So thanks for your emails, Eugene.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
We owed a lot of emails while we were out,
people concerned when are you coming back?

Speaker 5 (15:35):
I saw a few of them. I didn't, you know.
I I just more or less said delete on a
lot of them.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
We got a lot on message direct messages to where
are you guys? Please come back? We need good radio back.
It's not the same value.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, well, so we are looking for good radio. I
don't know why you listened to us.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
Oh, but no, that that actually is quite flattering to
have everybody say that they missed us.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
So yeah, a good time, good time. So I missed
the coffee already.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
So you said first thing this morning in the.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Pastries, because I mean, like, oh o, our bakeries are
are are shameful compared to what's over there.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
Well, you told me about a couple of things you had,
and it's like, oh god, you're making me hungry just
talking about all the different food you got to try.
But we'll talk about more of your adventures across Europe
throughout the show. But of course we got a jam
packed show because we've got Politics on Leash this morning.
There's a couple political topics to hit on. You think,
oh my god, we're gonna get into those. We have

(16:35):
a special guest this time around for Politics on Leash
because our one and only Elgin is very busy currently
in the court, so she is defending. She's in the
middle of a murder trial actually, so she is out today,
but we have a stand in and can't wait for that.
It's seven twenty eight. You're listening to the bloom Daddy experience.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
President Trump new executive order targeting flag burning. You've got
some conservatives coming out saying, come on here, can't do that.
You even have radio host Jesse Kelly saying this conservative
talk show host quote, I would never in a million
year's arm the American flag, But a president telling me

(17:21):
I can't has to be as close as I'll ever
be the lighting one on fire. I'm a free American citizen,
and if I ever feel like torching.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
One, I will. This is garbage.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
We are not talking about getting rid of a tattered,
worn out American flag. By all means, if you do
it with dignity, you can burn an American flag in
your backyard that is worn out, or you could simply
take it to the VFW, the American Legion of the
Post Office for proper disposal. We're talking about protesting. We're

(17:52):
talking about burning the flag. Trump's talking about burning the
flag in protests on city streets. Whatever it may be.
Jesse Kelly saying this is garbage. I don't think it's
garbage at all. We all know freedom of speech First Amendment,
but at the same time, there are other amendments, and

(18:12):
we have limitations on Second Amendment gun rights. But you
can't own a gun if you're a felon. You can't
own a gun. If you've got mental issues, you can't
own a gun. If you're illegal, you can't own a
gun if you've committed a felony. There are limitations to

(18:33):
the Second Amendment. There are limitations to the First Amendment.
Can't yell fire at a crowded theater? Why because you're
gonna cause chaos and possibly death or injury to human beings.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Well, you burn a flag.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
In the street and protest, you're probably gonna cause injury
because somebody's gonna come and try to take it off you,
and you're probably gonna get into a fist fight, and
it's definitely gonna cause chaos. We've seen it tom and
Tom again. So what's the difference. Why not put a
limitation on this and above and beyond that. It's hate speech.

(19:09):
You're hating on the United States of America. You're lighting
something on fire in public. Look, it's just disgusting, it's distasteful,
It offends millions of people, and it spits on the
graves of those who died for it and those currently
defending it every day.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
I agree with Trump one hundred percent. One hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
You've got a thousand other ways that you can express
your disgust with the United States of America.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
But I think there should be a limitation. I think the.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Supreme Court got this wrong or maybe misinterpreted the meaning
of burning the flag in the first place. I think
it's absolutely disgusting and I don't think it should be
allowed that flag. I mean, that flag represents all the
people who died for it, all the people protect it,

(20:00):
you me, all the people who come to this country
for all the right reasons. It represents so much good.
It represents the greatest country in the history of mankind.
And to allow some idiot to go out there and
burn it in protests to this country again, I think
there should be a limitation. So you still got the

(20:21):
freedom and go burn it. I just think there should
be repercussions if you do it again. I agree with
Trump one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
I agree with Trump too, and we're going to really
get into this subject in politics unleashed in the eight
o'clock hour. I wanted to read you a few things too. Now, I,
in no way, shape or form sound like Johnny Cash,
but I think Ragged Old Flag is one of the

(20:51):
most beautiful written songs that is patriotic, and there is
no time more timely for this. So I'm not going
to read the entire read the entire thing. I'm going
to read you snippets. And I think it exemplifies the
argument that burning the American flag is one of the

(21:14):
most vile things any American citizen can do. Washington took
it across the Delaware and it got powder burned. The
Knight Francis scott Key sat watching it, writing say can
you see? And it got a bad rip in New
Orleans with Packingham and Jackson tugging at its seams, and

(21:37):
it almost fell at the Alamo. She got cut with
a sword at Chancellorsville, and she got cut again at
Shiloh Hill. And the south wind blew on that ragged
old flag on Flanders Field. In World War One, she
got a big hole from a Bertha gun. She turned
blood red. In World War II, she hung limp and Low.

(22:00):
A time or two she was in Korea and Vietnam went.
She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam. And
now they've about quit waving her back here at home
in her own good land. Here's here. She's been abused,
She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused, and the government

(22:24):
for which she stands is scandalized throughout the land. And
she's getting threadbare and wearing thin. But she's in good
shape for the shape she's in, because she's been through
the fire before, and I believe she can take a
whole lot more. So we raise her up every morning,
we take her down every night. We don't let her
touch the ground. We fold her Upright. On second thought,

(22:48):
I do like to brag because I'm mighty proud of
that ragged old flag. Why there is no excuse. There
is no protest, There is no subject that you are protesting.
Where you burn the flag of our country, what it represents,

(23:15):
the faces, the lives that were sacrificed, There is no
excuse to burn our flag, plain and simple. I believe
in the First Amendment. Obviously, I believe in freedom of speech.
Otis you believe in freedom of speech? Look at what
we do for a living.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
Absolutely, that's not speech.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
That's an act.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
It's an act, but it's also it's it's a it's
a way to express yourself. It's just like giving the
middle finger, the middle If I give you the middle finger,
I have the right under the First Amendment to do that,
it may not be the greatest thing in the world.
And because I I don't get on that road. Although

(24:07):
I did give I did give the middle finger dri
ow police officer one time. Oh, but I didn't know
it was a police officer as he was coming up
because I was trying to get over and it was
a short time to get over, and he just sped
up to cut me off, and so I just put
the middle finger in my window. And then he pulled
me over, and I said, you realize you can't pull
me over. I said, did you pull what? Did you
pull me over? He said, what? Did you give me
the middle finger? I said, yeah, you want to? How

(24:28):
would you like to let's go back and talk to
your supervisor and see if you can actually pull me
over for this, which he can't. Right, So I said,
are we done here? And I don't think he was
very happy about that.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
It's just one of those things for me personally, it
just gets me. I've always felt that way. I've never
understood that action. I've never understood how people think that
that action is a form of protest, like it just
it does not resonate with me. Again, I understand.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
The free speech, I do, but you we, we as
American citizens, have lost sight of how lucky we are.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
A lot of people in regards to our freedoms and
those again that have sacrificed to give us those freedoms.
A lot of that had the we've lost sight of
a lot of that. And you know, like I said,
we're going to get into this more into politics on lease.
So I don't want to go too far down, too
far down that that train, because there's more on it.

(25:34):
I want to hit on while we're while we uh,
when we get to that point, A couple other things
here locally jump into kind of take a hard left there,
jump into a couple local stories. Students are back in
school in Ohio County. Today marks the first day of
instruction for thousands of young people. Families are urged to
download the Ohio County Schools app for the up to

(25:55):
date up updates and school information also out of Ohio County.
Now this is blowing up on social media. I just
saw bits of it last night. The Ohio County students
will not let me say that again. Ohio County students
will not be allowed to leave school during lunch for

(26:17):
religious classes. The Board of Education voted Monday against the move.
It would have allowed students to participate in religious instruction
by Life Wise Academy. The vote was three to two.
There are a lot of parents speaking out on this
on social media. Maybe we'll talk.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
I don't know where life Wise Academy is, but if
it's not righted by the school, there's no feasible way
to let students leave Wheeling Park for that. I think
there'd be time Wise.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
There's that aspect of it, and then there's a religious
side that has got people up in arms. But that
was a that was the vote on that seven forty six.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience Sam News Radio
eleven seventy WWVA. We are back seven to fifty one

(27:12):
the Bloemgatty Experience salmon Otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA.
So we were talking before the break the decision of
the Ohio County Schools in regards to the leaving premises
at lunchtime for this Life Wise Academy. All I did
was google life Wise Academy and their top The top

(27:33):
of their page says every week, tens of thousands of
public school students legally attend life wise Bible classes during
school hours. Now, I forget when it happened. The year
that happened when they separated you know, religion from public
the public school system. And I think that's where a
lot of people are, you know, standing up and saying

(27:56):
this is, you know, not the direction they want things
to go. I don't know. If it's the free time
of the student during lunch and it's their time, I
just asked this, why can they not use that time
as they choose?

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Okay, so I just pulled it up as well, it's
out of hell you're to Ohio the problem with But
I mean, if you're going to do it off of
school property at willing Park High School, where are you
going to do it? Okay, that's a big that's the
big issue.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
Okay that I understand. I understand the physicality of it,
but just in general, take that out of the conversation.
The time is that, you know, that window of time
is the students to do with as they choose. So
as if they choose that they want to go to
a Bible study class, why can they not have that choice?

(28:56):
I Mean, religion is a touchy subject.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
I don't even talking about the religion. I'm just looking
at the time factor because you know, you you normally
I know a Wheling parkhig school, at least when I
was there. I think it may have changed. But you
had seven forty eight minute periods a day, okay, Your
lunch was approximately thirty to thirty two minutes something like that.
So again, there you're looking at a time wise thing.

(29:23):
So you know, let's just say Wheeling Park High schools
in the middle of downtown Wheeling. So I leave the
campus and say that life wise is across the street.
So now I walk. It takes me five minutes to
get there, five minutes to get back. Now that's still
what I mean. What are you going to do in
twenty minutes?

Speaker 6 (29:43):
Okay? But the okay, but again, the same could be
said if you were leaving to go to one of
something else.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
Why can't you just do it after school?

Speaker 6 (29:53):
Okay, you're missing my point. You could do anything after school,
You could do anything during lunch.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
I supposed to eat during lunch.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
But I think a lot of people have have jumped
on this the way they have because it's a religious,
religious organ group. Okay, So say, for example, you and
and your kids want to go your kid wants to
go to down the street from campus a a okay

(30:24):
sports card collecting group, and they only have twenty minutes
to do it because of what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
And I don't see, I don't see why there's a
reason to leave the campus. I mean, I just, I mean,
I understand what you're saying. I mean I don't. I mean,
look again, those are these are all things that could
be done at another time. You know, if you if
you're if your kid wants to participate in something that
is religious, then go to a Catholic school, or go

(30:54):
to a go to a you know, a Baptist school.
There they are there are they're out there, you know.
I mean they're not they're not big. But I mean,
I think there's I think there's a you know, Christian school.
I think it's called Abundant Life Christian School. I think
there's you know, there's other options, sure, but there's.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Other options for everything else too, is what I'm getting at,
is the point I'm trying to make.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
But not for the lunch, not during lunch, Like you
cannot leave Wheeling Parks campus, you can't. You can't leave
any of I don't think you can leave any school
campus in Ohio County for for lunch or whatever.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
You see in Ohio you can do that.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
You used to be able to, but they eliminated that
because what would happen is kids would leave and they
wouldn't come back, right, especially the older kids, you know,
you know, back in the day junior high. I mean,
I mean, there are stories. I mean I could. I
can tell you a few stories about kids that said, yeah, well,
yeah I left. I left Richie School when it was

(31:52):
still a junior high, you know, went from kindergarten to
ninth grade, and oh I went down I left there
and I went down there and your dad came and
got me out of it, out of an alley because
I was out there smoking or doing something, you know.
And you know, so they've eliminated it because it eliminates
a lot of problems and now the legal issue because
you're the school's responsibility between from that time.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
But it amazes me that there are parents and people
up in arms fighting this, that are chanting, you know,
keep religion out of school because of the religious aspect
of this. And trust me, I am not a religious person.
I'm not preaching or anything like that. But it amazes
me that I see all over social media in all caps,

(32:34):
keep religion out of schools, you know, school religion should
not be forced upon our children. All of this mantra.
These are the same people that have sat back and
have accepted a lot of this LGBTQ plus shoved down
the throats of our students, all of the trans movement

(32:56):
forced down on our students. But when it's religion, they're
losing their minds. So that's where I'm kind of calling,
you know, potmeat, cattle, the whole thing. Sure, And that's
where I think the messaging is lost. It's not the
fact that they're going to leave campus. I think what
people are missing is it's the religious tie in that

(33:18):
people are losing.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
If I'm on my lunch break, Let's say I'm eating
lunch and I decide that I want to take a
Bible or a Quran or whatever. My religion is a Torah,
it doesn't you know, I can and I want to
sit there and read it during my lunch hour. There's
nothing that anybody can do to stop me from doing that, right, So,
you know, but it just, you know, I just don't
think that, you know, I mean, you can do whatever

(33:43):
you want if you want to. You know, if I'm
with a group of kids and I want to talk
about you know, Jesus or Allah or whatever.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
Right now, I get what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
You know, there's nothing that says I can't do that.
They just don't want it as a group.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
I gotcha. Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to bring up
I want to talk about it. Like like I said,
I'm not familiar with this LifeWise academy thing. I just
wanted to make a couple points on this topic. What
we haven't mentioned this morning yet. We're gonna have your
chance to win do walk tickets. That'll be in the
eight o'clock hour, seven fifty eight The bloom Daddy.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Experienced, number one talk show in the Ohio Valley. This
is the bloom Daddy Experience. Your host, bloom Daddy. His
goal inform, entertain, and tick people off. The bloom Daddy
Experience on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA starts now.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
Welcome back eight six on this Wednesday, The bloom Daddy Experience.
Sam and otis News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. I just
want to apologize, still a little discombobulated here. Do you
like that word discombobulated.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
A lot of syllables for you.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
So it is Wednesday, so we will be having our
lunch Winner where we deliver for the free lunch on Friday,
so get in your registrations. I should have said this
at the top of the show and it slipped my mind.
My apologies. Again, that's free lunch for your office of
ten from our friends at River City. We just need
your name, phone number, in company. Email Sam at iHeartMedia

(35:26):
dot com. That's Sam at iHeartMedia dot com with those
three things, or you can also text us seven zero
four seven zero start the message with bloom Daddy with
again those same three things, your name, phone number and company.
And then also, as I mentioned a little bit earlier,

(35:46):
we have a pair of do Wop tickets for the
show in October right here at the Capitol, and we're
going to be doing that a little bit later in
the show, so stay tuned for that. But as it
is Wednesday, that means it is time for Politics Unleashed,
but this time it is with Wes Perry because our

(36:09):
wonderful Elgin is knee deep in the middle of a trial.
So the wonderful mister Perry. Again. Wes Perry has agreed
to fill her shoes. He is the Brook County chair
of the Republican Party. Good morning, Wes, how are you?

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Good morning Sam? I'm great. How are you?

Speaker 6 (36:27):
I'm good. It's been a while since we chatted.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
It's been a minute. It's been a minute. When we
say fill the shoes, there's some big shoes that's fill there.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
You know, she's not that tall, her feet aren't that big.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
So first off, thank you for taking the time this
morning to do this with us.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Well, no prairies, no worries. I enjoy it. It's fun.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
So the first topic I want to jump into when
we talked about this a little bit early in the
show blim Daddy did, is the executive order the other
day by the President about burning of the American flag. Now,
there are many conservatives who are speaking out against this,

(37:11):
and I want your initial thoughts to this. How did
you react when you heard about this order?

Speaker 4 (37:20):
I didn't. I honestly didn't really react at all. I mean,
Trump's gonna be Trump, and you know, while I love
him and supporting him, you know, one hundred and ten
percent we all know, or we should if we've been
paying attention that he doesn't fit in that perfectly conservative

(37:40):
box or that perfectly liberal box, or you know, any
of those. At his core at least, you know, and
I'm not trying to speak for him, but at his core,
he's extremely patriotic and wants to do what's best for
America as he sees it. And by and large that
lines up with conservatives concern because conservatives by and large

(38:02):
are also patriotic and wants what's best for the country. So,
you know, and we've seen the decline of the country
over the past years, especially once Obama took office, and
so you know, but he's he's not a rock rib
conservative and and never really has been. He's more of

(38:24):
a pregnimatist and he's going to do what he thinks
is right. And now, you know, the Supreme Court has
weighed in on this multiple times that flag burning is
free speech, and that's perfectly fine. So one would think
that we'd need a constitutional amendment if we're going to
actually ban flag burning. But there's other ways to go

(38:48):
about this. You know, you look at all these protests
where you know, you've got the Palestinian flag being flown
or the Mexican flag being flown or whatever of what
they're protesting today and which you know, which random mob
has been sent out, and you know, you could, honestly

(39:09):
in a number of those cases charge people with sedition,
which is a crime and not protected by the First Amendment.
When they're talking about globalizing me into FADA and they're
flying a foreign terrorist nation's flag, that's pretty seditious. Globalizing
the into into FADA is a one hundred percent call

(39:29):
to violence and incitement of violence. That's a charge that
could be made. So you know, if there's there's ways
around it without necessarily charging somebody with burning the flag.
But if we really want to outlaw burning the flag,
have a Convention of States and put that on the
menu as.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
An amendment, Well, I want I want to read you something.
So of course the Democrats are mocking this. They are
they are going after this. But I have a statement here.
It says, I hope, mister president, that we can pass
a law that criminalizes burning and of the flag. This
was set in two thousand and six. Can you guess

(40:10):
who said it?

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Because there's nothing but lying hypocritics to begin with Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
Hillary Clinton said that in two thousand and six.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. You know, they all were
get you know, quote unquote against an open border too
until they weren't. You know, they'll say they'll at some
point people will wake up to the fact that the
Democrat Party has zero principles. The only goal is power,

(40:43):
and they will say and do anything to achieve that
power because they've got no one that holds them accountable.
You know, the media is certainly not going to hold
them accountable. You know, so until we start seeing people
in handcuffs going to jail for trees and you know,
and and sedition there, Yeah, there is no accountability. They

(41:06):
will say and do anything to include makeup Russia collusion stories,
rate a former president's house, weaponize the FBI, etc. Etcter.

Speaker 6 (41:17):
Okay, so I'm going to read you a couple comments
on social media from both sides. Okay, so excuse me.
This is from a US veteran. It says, in the
United States, burning the flag is considered a form of
free speech under the First Amendment. Burning the American flag
is a form of symbolic speech protected by the Constitution.
That is, by a US veteran. Another comment, you're literally

(41:42):
burning the exact symbol that gives you the right to
do that. Another veteran. As a veteran, I'm embarrassed of
my country and president. We really are turning into Russia.
Don't you think there's a way to get your point
across in a protest without stepping on a sign of

(42:07):
our freedom that how much blood was spilt for this
freedom that we have. Isn't there another way to express
yourself other than burning the flag?

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Yeah, there's lots of ways to express yourself other than
burning the flag. You know, I would venture to guess
that if you if we're still okay to walk up
and punch somebody in the mouth, be a lot less
flag burning going on. But nowadays that seems to be
the end of the world. Somebody gets hitting the mouth.

(42:42):
You know, Back in my day in high school, if
you had problems, that's what you did. You took it
out back after school and you settled it. Nowadays, everybody's
online pulling each other and bullyings bad blah blah blah.
But you know, if you could just walk up and
punch somebody like that in the mouth without ending up
in jail, there'd be a lot less flag burning going on.
I would argue one.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Thing I said earlier is that a lot of Americans
have lost sight of our history. A lot of Americans
have lost sight of as I said a minute ago,
blood that was spilt protecting that flag, and that flag
is a sign of who we are as our country,
as our freedom. Have we gotten to the point where

(43:26):
our history is being trampled on just like the flag? Well,
you got thirty thirty seconds. Then we got to go
to a quick break. But we'll come back to that.
So just real quick, give me a give us a
tease on your answer.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
We don't teach the true history of the founding and
the sacrifices country's made. That's the bottom line.

Speaker 6 (43:50):
Interesting, Okay, I want to get into that because I
was going to bring up the founding fathers on this topic.
So stick stay there. Of course, we're talking to us
Perry stepping in for Elgin today for politics on leash.
It's eight sixteen. We're gonna jump to a quick break.
If you want to get in on the subject, go
to our Facebook page, or of course you can go
to our text line seven zero four seven zero. Start

(44:12):
the message off with bloom Daddy, you're listening to the
bloom Daddy Experience. I'm Sam, He's Otis and Wes here
on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back eight twenty
two on your Wednesday, the bloom Daddy Experience. Sam and Otis,

(44:34):
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Just a reminder, we're gonna
have your chance to win here shortly coming up a
pair of tickets to see the Do Wop Show, a
Valley favorite, right here at the Capitol Theater in October.
And of course it is Lunch Wednesday where we deliver
lunch on Friday. But the winner's picked today, So get

(44:55):
in your entry Sam at iHeartMedia dot com, name, phone
number and business or of course you can text seven
zero four seven zero. Started off with bloom Daddy. But
it is a Wednesday, so we are right in the
middle of politics unleashed, and that's what I usually say
with Elgie McCardell, but today we are with Wes Perry
Brooke County Chair of the Republican Party, but also Otis.

(45:18):
He also said this last night when I said, you know,
how would you like me to introduce you? He put
in the text the smartest guy that.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
I know there's nothing wrong with that. I have no
qualms with that whatsoever. I mean, I think we don't
like to be introduced like that.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
So so again joining us as West Perry Brooke County
chair of the Republican Republican Party. And the smartest man
that I know, isn't that a beer commercial? The Doseki's
the smartest man on the player or whatever?

Speaker 4 (45:49):
That was the most interesting man. That's it.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
That's it, that's it. Of course we're talking politics, politics unleashed.
So we were talking before the break West about the
flag burning, the new Executive Order. One thing that I
when when thinking about this subject that popped into my
head was number one, When the founding fathers were establishing everything,

(46:14):
do you think they ever would envisioned dealing with something
like this? Could at that point in time, could they
envision actual citizens burning the American flag?

Speaker 4 (46:29):
I don't think they could have. They would have envisioned
it necessarily, but they the one the one big part
of the First Amendment, with the whole free speech was
it's it's free speech in the purpose of it was
to be able to criticize the government. You know, if

(46:50):
you go through all of history, governments until the United
states were basically some form of dictator, whether it was
a king, you know, a chief, you know, a caesar
until the heart take your pick. They were all basically
some form of dictatorship. Yeah, the Romans dabbled with the

(47:14):
Senate and stuff like that, but you know, so you
owed your life to that person in charge. We were
the first real attempt at self governance and you know,
not be That's one thing the founders really understood was
the inability to publicly and voicefully criticize the government because

(47:40):
if you said the wrong thing about the king, they
could just simply hang you or draw a cord to
you and send different parts of your body to the
realm to hang on a bridge until it rotted away.
So that was that's a whole purpose behind it. So
if you're talking about someone that is actually just burning

(48:00):
the flag as some form of you know, criticism against
the government, so by all means, I would say that
that's free speech. But like I said earlier, there are
other ways to curtail that kind of behavior because if
it's incorporated with some protests where they're you know, screaming
out globalized the intifada, or we're going to take back

(48:24):
to Texas and California or some thing like that. That's sedition,
and that's a whole other kettle of fish. So you know,
change the focus accomplished the same task.

Speaker 6 (48:37):
Well, I post this last night on our Facebook page,
so I just wanted to read some of the comments
that we got from listeners. Let's see here. Michael says,
remember the boys that laid skid marks on the Rainbow
Road were sent to jail. The lady that put polish
remover on the B l M Road got sent to jail.
What's the difference? Eric says, freedom of speech covers speech

(49:00):
we don't like. The Supreme Court will end this order.
Let's see here, opt from Rick optics being everything in politics.
The President knows his order is unconstitutional. He is goading
the lunatics on the left to engage in flag burning,
knowing how it will look to the average American. He

(49:20):
plays them, in quotation marks the left like a fiddle.
That's an interesting perspective, playing them like a fiddle.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
Comment, And it's probably closer to the truth than we
all really realize. Because you know, Trump could come out
and cure cancer tomorrow, and every Democrat with a microphone
would protest, it would run to it and say, oh,
we don't want them Keith Cancer. I mean, look at
what they're doing right now with the whole crime reduction

(49:50):
in Washington, d C. They've all essentially ran to the
microphone to tell everybody that crime is good and we
need more criminals on the street, and Trump's just a
dictator for making the streets of DC safe. Wes, I
think it's like open door, right into the mouth.

Speaker 6 (50:09):
Well, Wes, I think you're coming from my job, because
that was the next subject after this break that I
want to hit on is the protesting in DC, the
results of the crime reduction in DC, and the craziness
that we're witnessing of people protesting this. So you your

(50:31):
segue was either coming for my job or you're coming
for Elgin's. I don't know one of the other.

Speaker 5 (50:38):
Wow, wow, he misses one day and she's already on
the chopping block.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
Oh yeah, for Elgin. I have to call her afterwards
and give her me a kulpa.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
All right, stick with us, of course, Wes, hang on
the line. We're going to get into that when we
get back. It's eight twenty eight. Don't forget sign up
for free lunch. We're going to be doing that here shortly,
along with do walk tickets. You're listening to the Bloomdaddy Experience,
Politics Unleashed here on News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Welcome back.

(51:16):
It's eight thirty six The bloom Daddy Experience, samon Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. It's Wednesday, so of course
we are talking politics, Politics Unleashed with Wes Perry this morning,
sitting in for our wonderful usual co host Elgid McCardle.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
He tried to fire her. Now you're sucking up to her.

Speaker 6 (51:36):
Hey, I might meet her one day, you know, legally.
Who knows though, But of course West Perry is the
Brooke County chair of the Republican Party, and also he
likes to also be referred to as the smartest guy
that I know, which, by the way, is that really
a huge accomplishment when you think about the men that
I surround myself with. Wow, you know, yeah, you usually

(52:01):
get one in on.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
That's fine, I can take it. I'm okay with that.

Speaker 6 (52:06):
When it was there, it was teed up. I had
to have absolutely, I had to take this shot. So again,
Wes first of all I want to say, and and
I've been reaching out trying to get a Democrat listen.
We want to make an open, thorough conversation when we're
talking politics. I'm conservative, Elgin is conservative. Wes is conservative.

(52:29):
If there is a Democrat out there, a liberal who
wants to join this fabulous team on Wednesdays for your
side of things, we want to hear from you. That's
the point of this. We want both signs represented. We
just can't find anybody, so I'm putting it out there,
all right, Wes. So, since this is your first time
really talking to us with this this segment, I want

(52:53):
to I'm going to pose a question to you. So far,
we're what nine months in, eight months in, at this
point of this presidency, what do you say? Personally? You
would say, is this administration's biggest accomplishment so far and
the biggest disappointment so far from your perspective.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Biggest accomplishment, I think is the the closure of the border,
and how fast rapid I should say rapidly and effectively.

Speaker 6 (53:29):
It was done shockingly fast, amazingly fast.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
Yeah, and it laid bare the lie that new legislation
and more of this and more of that et cetera,
et cetera was needed, and there was nothing the president
could do. Blah blah blah. You know, all it took
was the right president and the border was slammed shut

(53:56):
almost in the first day. It was amazing how quickly
it just all ended. I think that's been the greatest
accomplishment as far as me the disappointments. I'm still holding
my breath to see some accountability for things like the

(54:20):
Russia collusion, all the nonsense surrounding COVID, you know, because
you you know that there were politicians that made money
on the backs of Pfizer and Maderna and the rest
of them in those vaccines, with the insider trading that
goes on in Congress and all the rest of that,

(54:41):
and the mandates to be vaccinated and people that lost
their jobs. It's you know that that to me is
you know, now, it's still early, so it takes a
while to you know, get rid of all the corruption
that was that we know exists in the DJ and
dig through these files. So maybe it's still coming. I

(55:04):
hope it's still coming. But you know, and and for
all of those out there that would say this is
political payback, no, it's not. It's about actual justice and
the truth and holding people accountable for you know, doing
things that were seditious and treasonous and you know, weaponizing

(55:27):
the justice system against the citizens. Those are all the
things that you know, we we had a revolution over,
you know, and then started a country where the people
are supposed to hold the power, not the elites and
not the globalists.

Speaker 6 (55:44):
Yeah. And and you know it's interesting because, like I said,
you being the county chair for Brooke County of the
Republican Party, you you have some inside knowledge on things.
And one point that Jim Ornaesi made yesterday on the
show was that, you know, Trump is not going to
be president forever, right, so as we were not quite

(56:09):
there yet, but as we wind down this current administration,
what is on the horizon, what is kind of the
scuttle butt possibly that you're hearing out and about talking
to people?

Speaker 4 (56:22):
Oh, I mean, it's it's gonna be I think the
midterms are going to be very interesting because the one
thing that Trump is very good at, and probably his
second greatest accomplishment, is continuously allowing the Democrats to actually
show the country what they are and what they actually

(56:43):
stand for. You know before the break, we alluded to
it a little bit. I mean it's like every single
day it's open mouthed insert foot with them because they
are so infected with Trump derangement syndrome, and you look
at their poll numbers, they're completely in the tank. Now,
for me, the thing is that our Republican Congress needs

(57:07):
to start doing something more than just a great big bill,
which was fine, but there is so many things out
there that they should be passing, like daily one page,
easy to understand and impossible for the media to twist
bills like how about you know, countrywide reciprocity to support

(57:32):
the Second Amendment. You know, we've already got Supreme Court
precedent for that. With the whole gay marriage thing. You know,
if a wedding license from Vermont has to be accepted
in Kentucky, then Kentucky's concealed carry permit should have to
be accepted in New York City or Maryland or vice versa.

(57:56):
So that's an easy one, and that's a one page bill.
You can't mischaracterize it like the mainstream media did try
to do with the big beautiful bill. You know, universal
school choice, all federal funds are tied to the student,
and the parents have to say where those moneys are spent.
Total total school choice. If you want to send your

(58:18):
kid to this school over here, here's the five thousand
dollars per kid the Fed sends to your state every year.
You spend it how you see fit to get your
kid educated, put parents back in charge. That's a one
page bill that can't be mis characterized. So, you know,
I do think the Congress needs to start stepping up
and passing things like that, because again, that will further

(58:42):
enable the Democrats to show everybody what they actually stand
for and not. You know, you can't cover it up,
and that's one of the best things Trump's done. So
as far as what's on the horizon, I think a
lot of it hinges on twenty six in the midterms
and then we'll see. But I do think there's ampul

(59:03):
opportunity to continue to tank Democrat poll numbers and see
US gain seats in the House and gain Senate seats
as well.

Speaker 6 (59:14):
Well. It's been interesting. One thing I think is this
administration walked into one of the biggest clusters that this
country has ever been in, and they are waiting their
way through. I think as best that they can. They
have so much on their plate because it was I mean,
it was left in such a mess. But then you

(59:35):
got to take into account. We mentioned earlier a little
bit about the ridiculous this that we're seeing across the country.
I mean DC cleaning up crime. I mean most recent
statistics on this crackdown on crime. Let's see here, homeless
encampments cleared, forty nine, one hundred and eleven, illegal guns ceased,
two missing children recovered, violent crime down. They're protesting this,

(01:00:05):
they're protesting this.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
It's it's just amazing. Yes, well, and they're they're renting
mobs to protest it. Because what most people either villas
don't want to realize is that most of this is
all by design. If you've read Rules for Radicals, Violensky

(01:00:27):
and Cloud and Pivens' strategies, you know this is the
ultimate goal to turn this country into some sort of
socialist healthscape is you have to first undermine the institutions
that made this country great. And we've watched that over
and over with the church, with the Boy Scouts, the
Girl Scouts, the military. You weaponize, you know, the avenues

(01:00:52):
of government that are supposed to bring justice and peace
to the citizenry and turn it into something else so
that people distrust the government. You sow chaos on the
streets that people now are fearful for their safety. You
take away their right of self protection, so now they
have to rely on government. Once you once you reach

(01:01:13):
a certain level of chaos, people will clamor for anyone
to come in and take over and take charge in
some fashion.

Speaker 6 (01:01:22):
And that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
And you know, so this is all by design in
some point now, I mean there's some single person up
there point strings no. But what you have to understand
is these communists have all read the same playbooks, and
that's why they all seem to get in line so
easily whenever there's some sort of crisis, and they're all
saying the same thing because they've all read the same playbook.

Speaker 6 (01:01:43):
And that's and that's the fight, and that's what everybody
is going against. Wes. Thank you so much for jumping
on this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):

(01:02:37):
talk Otis when you returned. Were you heartbroken about Cracker Barrel?
I know it just it got you.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
I'm not it. You know, I've I've eaten dinner or whatever.
Cracker Barrel. It's not like my first pick. I think
the store, their story slash restaurant is interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
Oh I love their little gift shop.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
And but like, I'm not a like, I'm not a
Cracker Barrel crackhead.

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
Well, there is some sign company out there that's just
lost a huge contract to make all those new signs
because they are keeping Uncle Herschel. He is not losing
his seat at the table it is.

Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
He's not joining Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima and no
the Land of Lakes Butter.

Speaker 6 (01:03:24):
Again and the Redskins logo and yeah yeah, uncle Herschel
will remain, Yes, he will remain Overall's and all I
just the biggest loser is the sign company in this
whole thing, or this is one of the most brilliant
marketing schemes in history.

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
Or they've already made the signs and they still have
to pay for him, and Cracker Bear still has to
pay for him. I'm sure there was some sort of
a contract sign Oh I bet yeah. I mean they're
probably not out out, but they're probably you know, they're
probably not gonna get what they were gonna get. So
we'll see what happened.

Speaker 6 (01:04:04):
People were not happy, No, they weren't.

Speaker 5 (01:04:06):
I mean that was that was that blew up my
Facebook all over the world.

Speaker 6 (01:04:10):
Yeah yeah, I have a video that you sent me.
I'm gonna post It's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (01:04:14):
It's actually funny.

Speaker 6 (01:04:15):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (01:04:16):
Of course we didn't hear the music because we had
it on in the computer in right here, So.

Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
But I'm gonna put that on our Facebook page because
just the just the dances is pretty funny.

Speaker 5 (01:04:26):
Maybe we'll be the first ones to post that.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
Oh yes, yeah, yeah, Oh, I'm not going to go there, no.

Speaker 5 (01:04:38):
No, just again, that was just little. That was a
little inside joke between Sam and I. Sorry about that.

Speaker 6 (01:04:43):
Yeah, real quick, Sam, he's Otis, I'm Sam, He's Otis.
That's our names, Sam and Otis. Just real quick. You
and I both did some airline flights, so I found
this story funny. Forty two year old Trista Riley forty
three year old Christopher Arnold were charged with felony counts
after they allegedly engaged in a lude act on a

(01:05:06):
Jet Blue flight from New York to Florida. That's a
quick flight, so a three hours is it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:05:13):
I thought it was two hours from Pittsburgh, so.

Speaker 6 (01:05:15):
You have I thought it was a little bit, so
I thought it was shorter than that. A flight attendant
reported witnessing the couple involved in the sexual activity in
front of other passengers. They weren't even in the bathroom. Okay,
ah the couple again when the moment strikes. The couple
was arrested upon landing in Sarasota, and they were released

(01:05:37):
on their own recognizance. Riley is a medical receptionist, and uh,
the gentleman is a general contractor. So I guess when
you get the tickle. You have to he.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
Scratched, not saying anything else.

Speaker 6 (01:05:53):
No, And speaking of couples, love is back, Ladies and gentlemen,
we can all feel fulfilled this morning. Romance. Love it
is not dead. It is not dead. Travis and Taylor

(01:06:13):
are engaged.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
There's a meme. It just came up. There's a referee
in the background of their little engagement picture and it
says Taylor Swift engagement overturned as referee determines Travis Kelsey's
need didn't touch the ground.

Speaker 6 (01:06:29):
I will say that picture looks like the poster of
a Hallmark love story. It is a beautiful picture. But again,
the big winner in this are their lawyers, because whatever
that pre nup is going to be, I mean, combined,
they have to be worth a billion and a half

(01:06:51):
at minimum. So yeah, the winners will be their lawyers
when drawing that prenup. Yeah, they've actually been together longer
than I realized. But the songstress and the tight end.

(01:07:11):
Love is restored. Ladies and gentlemen. Why are you laughing
because I said tight end?

Speaker 5 (01:07:16):
No? Oh, I'm just just keeping it to myself.
