Speaker 1 (00:00):
Indeed number one TUK 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.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
WWVA starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy. You've got a lawmaker, Democrat out of
Washington spearheading the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, And as
she puts it, it would curb the shocking surge of
allegedly wrongful detentions inappropriate conditions, particularly at jail's run by
private companies under government contract, and it would instead end
(00:44):
the federal government's ability to enforce immigration law entirely to
some people out there, who better to comment on this
than Tony Famm, former acting Director of Vice who ran
some of these detention facilities, who is now a senior
fellow with the America First Policy Institute. So you've got
Jaia Paul up in Washington spearheading this Dignity for Detained
(01:05):
Immigrants Act, Tony and pushing false narratives. Once again, we
went through this with AOC. Women are being forced to
drink out of toilets, and now we've got this your comments.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh gosh, it's misleading and gaslighting pretty much the American people.
But I guess it feeds to her base. Anyone that's
ever visited some of these dedicated facilities, and David, I
sent you some photos that I was going to get
you during my tour, and you can see the conditions
and dedicated facility. This one was a family residential center.
(01:40):
You have full scale playgrounds for the kids. You have
indoor gymnasium for activities, exercise activities for the children. You
have a library for folks. I didn't even give you
the copy of the menu yet. But to my point,
I think Jayapal, who hasn't spent a day operating or
managing a detention facility, is really just looking for ways
(02:02):
to obstruct the enforcement action in Title eight. Now, granted,
if she wants to do something about the detention of
the individuals who are here in the country illegally, whether
they illegally crossed over or whether they illegally overstated their visas,
maybe she should do her job and give her members
(02:23):
of Congress and start talking about amending the legislation. That
calls for mandatory detention for certain individual aliens that are
apprehended in the interior the United States. But having been
a person that actually managed a detention facility, it's kind
of funny because she says dignity for immigrants. I'm an immigrant,
(02:45):
I'm a refugee in this country, and I had the
privilege of becoming a US citizen in nineteen eighty five
and then work my way up to being a superintendent
of a local facility that actually housed ICE detainees. And
we are bound local jails as well as what she says,
and they act. Local jails as well as dedicated facilities
are under strict standards issued by ICE and the federal
(03:08):
authorities to maintain operational living conditions and accouterments, as I
would call them. That would make life a bit easy
for well, let me say this, comparatively speaking, a lot
easier for ICE detainees than for our everyday US citizen
who may have been driving without a suspended operator's license
and was incarcerated for thirty days. So to my point,
(03:30):
the standards that we are held to in order to
house an immigrant detainee is much higher than the standards
we even give and afford to our own US citizens
who who may have made a bad choice. So what
I would love to see it. Just my comment to
Representative Jay Palace. I don't see her out there fighting
(03:50):
for US citizens right, and that as a representative. She's
a representative, and that to her voters should probably be
very offensive back home. And she's spending all her energy
focused on a false narrative that doesn't exist to advocate
for illegue immigrants, versus spending her time maybe taking a
(04:11):
look locally as some of the detention standards that impact
her own citizens.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You know, Tony, I just got done talking to Senator
Ted Cruz that we were talking about how disingenuous the
media has become. You know, you said something when you
were quoting her in there that struck me. And I
point this out all the time. I think the falsest
narrative ever pushed by the American media, even more so
(04:38):
than all the crap we dealt with with COVID, is
when people like this lawmaker drop the illegal before immigrant.
They will never say illegal immigrants. This is everything to
do with illegal immigrants and nothing to do with immigrants.
There is a huge difference in a purposefully le that
(05:00):
out and it is the falsest narrative I've ever seen
in my life.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It absolutely is. And you know what, I will tell
you that is a act that is a completely different
topic that I can go off on.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
For an entire show if you want me to.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Next week, Because you know, yeah, my family and I
we came to this country as refugees at the end
of the war in nineteen seventy five. We were very
blessed with an opportunity to start our new lives that
were given to us by the sacrifice of over fifty
eight thousand US military person that who didn't make it home,
and that weighed heavily on me as I began my
(05:36):
new life here in America and became citizens in eighty five.
So when I hear I hear representatives, and it's just
typically are the representatives on the left right. When I
hear these representatives begin to co mingle immigrants who came
here illegally or immigrants who gained the system and decided
(05:58):
to stay well past the or removal orders to remove themselves,
versus individuals like myself, my mom, my dad, my sisters,
and so many other people in the Vietnamese community who
were given an opportunity to restart their lives under the
refugee pathway, which is a lawful pathway into this country.
It infuriates me because it devalues my American experience, if
(06:22):
you know what I mean. You know what I'm getting right,
because we worked through the whole process. It took us
ten years before we were naturalized, and you know, it
just seems to me that they want to commingle us
in there just for some form of empathy. I got
to tell you, as a refugee to this country, I
(06:42):
can have empathy to those who want a better life,
but I also recognize and understand and respect the fact
that this nation was one built upon laws, laws that
her colleagues passed years ago that have to be enforced
because without laws, without borders, were not a nation. We're
not a nation at all.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Talking to Tony fam former acting Director of Vice senior
fellow America First Policy Institute, jump over to Illinois. You
literally have in Illinois officials releasing violent, criminal illegal aliens
despite active immigration detainers. You're talking about nearly eighteen hundred
criminal aliens with active detainers, and we're talking about crimes
(07:24):
including homicides, assaults, burglaries, weapons offenses, sexual predatory crimes. Explain
to me how any sane, rational individuals could do this?
Does this just show you how much Illinois Illinois officials
hate ICE or hate Trump. How can you justify to
(07:45):
the residents of Illinois, the residents of this country, Tony
releasing criminal aliens with crimes tied to homicides, assaults, burglaries,
and weapons.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh gosh, you know to your list as they may
not know. I used to be a senior level of
violent crimes prosecutor, right, and so as a prosecutor, when
I see information like this, it drives me, blockers and
infuriates me more so as a prosecute than I was
when I was the eighty one acting director for ICE.
And here's why we have a duty to protect our communities, right,
(08:20):
and a lot of us who get into this these professions,
we do it because not because of the pay, Trust me,
We do it because we have this this never ending,
unquenchable first to protect our community, our neighbors, and do
our best. Now I can be a cynic and say
the folks of Illinois will get the government that they elect, right,
(08:41):
And they elected a governor who doesn't believe in honoring
ICE detainees or detainers to hold these individuals who are
criminal aliens. Now, and let me just say this, I
always like to say that, I you know, we always
have the authority to help prevent product people. I know
that's possible. Telling how can you, Well, we identify those
(09:03):
who are convicted of via the crimes and have a
propensity to reoffend, right, But instead of letting them back
into the community after they finish their sentence, you turn
them over to us. We put them in deportation proceedings,
and we remove them from the country so they won't
have the opportunity to victimize another innocent person. Ever. Now,
(09:24):
you heard about the Charlotte stabbing incident down there in Charlotte,
North Carolina, right, the most recent one. It was like
two months after Ukrainian refugee was murdered, same mass transit line.
That person was unlawfully in this country was deported and
re entered under the Biden administration. But because Charlotte is
(09:49):
a sanctuary city like Chicago is, they would not cooperate
with our colleagues down there in Charlotte. ICE colleagues to
help get these individuals off the streets. So ends up happening.
The individual goes on a stabbing rand page and victimizes
a young man who is only standing up for an
older person that was in em arguing with the Henian immigrants.
(10:11):
So it does to your point, the thousands that were
released by Illinois, it's unconscionable. It's unfathomable that those the
leadership there would compromise the safety and security of every
single Illinoisan who deserves to be protected, absolutely deserves to
(10:34):
be protected, Tony.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I've only got about two minutes, real quick. The revetting
of the Afghan refugee population. You're a refugee after the
incident with the National Guard in DC, your thoughts absolutely.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
There's a twenty twenty two in IG report that skewerd
the vetting process. Originally out quote from it right here.
TVP was found to also allow have to allow some
evacuees to enter the United States who may not have
been fully vetted into internal DHS reports. CVP admitted or
paroled dozens of evacuees with derogatory information into the country.
(11:07):
That's just a small snippet of the report that's online.
I challenge your listeners to go pull it and listen.
But look, we have three hundred and forty eight million
United States citizens. We have seventy six thousand resettled Afghani
refugees under operational Allies Welcome. We have three proven instances
of individual refugees who came through OAW into the United
(11:29):
States through the poor vetting process. Obviously Ramadula la cmual
is the shooter Mohammad al Khore who was arrested down
there and for terrorists of threats to bomb in Dallas,
and then most recently John Shaw Safi for providing material
support to isis K. It's absolutely one hundred percent reasonable
to re engage the revetting of seventy six thousand Afghany
(11:50):
refugees who are let in. That doesn't mean mass removals,
not at all. That just means the government is complying
with their duty to protect three hundred and forty million
United States citizens by re looking at the file to
make sure I will last point here before I let
you go. Twenty eleven, President Obama did the exact same thing,
but on a smaller scale, after a conviction of two
(12:11):
Iraqi refugees in Kentucky for terroristic AAPS. He ordered DHS
to do a full review of fifty eight thousand Iraqi
refugees who were lit in during that period of time.
So it's not anything new. I want your listeners to understand,
it's a one hundred percent reasonable thing to do. It's
not targeting a vulnerable population. Again, we can have empathy,
(12:32):
recognize and understand that that provides them uncertainty, yes, but
we also have a duty to protect our fellow three
hundred and forty eight fellow million.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
City well put Tony, thank you so much, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Four Good Thursday morning, folks. Oh that's a very happy
Christmas y themed intro there, otis. Of course you're listening
to the bloom Daddy experience. Sam and otis here on
news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Really good interview there, bloom
Daddy with Tony fam. Very interesting insights and commentary there.
(13:12):
So thank you for that. As I said, happy Thursday.
You know what that means by a Thursday. Yes, it does,
Kirks half gallon ice cream. It's your chance to win
this morning. All you have to do is go to
our text line and there are folks out there that
know the text line number seven zero four seven zero.
Just need your name phone number and let's do an
(13:34):
ice cream emoji for your registration to win that. Kirks,
does we have a call?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
We do. We have Brian on the line that wants
to talk about bloom Daddy segment and Illinois and so
on and so forth. So good morning Brian.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Good morning. Yeah. A couple of points about Ilamore law.
I grew up there. They used to make it mandatory
to learn the law in Civics class or you wouldn't
graduate high school. But one of the things that's been doing,
or Chicago has been doing, is exupporting as criminals ever
since Ram and Manuel. The law is that you have
(14:08):
to stay in the county that you're released in. So
he empties up Cook County sends it to all the
other counties around the country or around the state. Rockford
is just as dangerous as and Champagnes just as dangerous
as Chicago, because then the criminals, when they get out
of jail, they have to do their time or their
(14:30):
parole in those areas. They can't those counties, they can't
leave them. The other point of it is real quick
like it's the Illinois state law that if the mayor
of Chicago, if a mayor breaks the law, it is
the chief I'm sorry, it is the sheriff it's responsibility
to remove him from office. So definitely, Chicago mayors have
(14:52):
been and other mayors have been breaking the law, but
the sheriffs aren't stepping up and removing them. So therefore
both the sheriff and of Cook County and the mayor
of Chicago need to be removed.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Brian, thank you so much for your call. I think
it's an example of what we see across the country
when it comes to the uh, the the entitled liberals,
if you will, uh do as we say, not as
we actually do. They want to put off the image
of they're the most welcoming. They are, you know, they
(15:27):
fight for the underprivileged, they fight for the illegal immigrants
because you know they're they're so virtuous, if you will,
but you turn your back and they're actually doing the opposite.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well, they're playing the very souretto playbook of socialism up there.
So they're you're you're exactly right. Uh, it's it's a
system that's already it was set up by him, and
that's what's going.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
On before, you know, before he entered into the federal realm, right, okay, yeah,
so yeah, basically they're sporting criminals out of Chicago this way.
Now they're hoping that we release them, they'll maybe some
of them actually will actually leave Chicago on their own.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Well, and it's somebody else's problem to deal with. They
wanted to Yeah, Brian, Brian, I'm so sorry. I don't
mean to cut you off, but we're up against the heartbreak.
We got about a minute left. So again, thank you
so much for your call this morning. Great insight you too,
you too, Yeah, very good insight there from Brian. But
(16:31):
again I wanted to let you know. I want to
remind you, of course, we've got our half gallon ice
cream from Kirks that we're doing today, that's our text
line seven zero four seven zero, and then coming up
here very short that we're going to have another chance
for you to win this morning. We've got our first
pair of tickets to see a Taylor Family Christmas. We've
got a pair of those for you, so we are
going to be doing that here very shortly. That is
(16:55):
coming up. And then of course we've got our stuffed
stalking Spectacle Pacular. Got that all out. We're gonna be
doing that drawing next Friday during our annual holiday show.
But you register now again on our text line seven
zero four seven zero. Start the message off with bloom
(17:15):
Daddy name, phone number, email, Santa Emoji seven twenty eight.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience Sam and Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Flof folks, It's Thursday. It's
seven thirty six. Bloom Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News
(17:39):
Radio eleven seventy WWVA coming up in the eight o'clock hours.
So we have a special guest coming on the show.
His name is doctor Norman Wood. Now, if that name
is not familiar to you, let me. I'm gonna explain
to you. He is a gentleman that I have been
reading a lot of his commentary on social media in
(18:00):
regards to the topic of the Wheeling homeless issue, the
removal of the encampment here in Wheeling. And you know,
there's a lot of people out there who have a
lot of comments, who have a lot of thoughts, who
have a lot of opinions, They don't have a lot
of ideas or possible, not necessary solutions, but at least
(18:27):
an angle or a direction to move in the direction
of a solution. That's where doctor Norman would differs from
others who I like to call keyboard warriors or keyboard
bleeding hearts. He does have ideas, and here's the thing,
he actually has a lot of experience and background when
(18:48):
talking about this particular topic, not only here in Wheeling,
not only here in the state of West Virginia, but
elsewhere in the country. So we're going to be talking
to doctor Wood here in the eight o'clock hours. It's
a conversation I think you don't want to miss. You
don't want to miss because I think, again, he's going
to come and have a lot of different points and
(19:10):
topics that maybe you and I haven't even considered. And
again he's going to bring his opinions and his ideas
from a different perspective. So I can't wait to have
that conversation with doctor Norman Wood again coming up in
the eight o'clock hour. That is going to be again
a really, really good conversation. Also, I posted yesterday on
(19:32):
our Facebook page the High Valley Mall, We're gonna have
candy and George on the show tomorrow and I you
know what, we're taking this nostalgic. We're going to go nostalgia.
We're gonna go what's the other word I'm looking for?

stories and we want to hear from you. So that's
gonna be fun to tomorrow. Odish you with me in there. Yeah,
just let me ramble on. Just let me just let
me ramble on a couple quick sports stories. Want to
(21:08):
let you know about. The Steelers made multiple roster moves
on Wednesday. The team signed offensive tackle Dylan Cook from
the practice squad, added offensive tackle David Sharp to the
practice squad, and placed offensive tackle Calvin Anderson on injured reserve.
Pittsburgh hosts the Dolphins on Monday Night Football later on
(21:32):
week fifteen. The Browns have also made some roster changes.
Let's see here. The team signed offensive tackle Jeremiah Byers
and running back Trevion Williams to the active roster. Cleveland
also elevated cornerback Trey Avery from the practice squad to
the act to the active roster, and the Browns released
defensive tackle Simeon Barrow Junior from the practice squad and
(21:54):
replaced him with Maurice Hurst. The second Cleveland takes on
chicag Go on Sunday, and then the Penguins are hoping
to get back in the winning column. Pittsburgh is hosting
the Montreal Canadians tonight. The Penns have thirty five points
after dropping back to back games in a shutout. Check
(22:17):
out the Pens of course on our sister station Eagle
one oh seven five. And the Nailers. They were home
last weekend, they're not home this weekend. They're not back
until the twenty seventh. I believe it is here in Wheeling.
To twenty seventh and twenty eighth, I think is when
the Nailers return here to Wheeling. Four home games, so
little sports things for you, and then of course the
(22:39):
big sports story that's kind of shaking up the college
football world. Michigan head coach Sharon Moore was fired by
the university over an a legend inappropriate relationship with a
staff member. University athletic director Ward Manuel said credible evidence
was found following an internal invest mitigation. Manuel noted the
(23:02):
university's zero tolerance stands and has named Biff Pogy. I
hope that's correct, Biff Pogy as the program's interim head coach.
But on top of that, following the investigation into the situation,
there was another situation that transpired within and outside the
(23:22):
football building. According to OutKick, less than an hour later,
police were called to a residence to detain the former
coach as an investigation into assault charges have now been launched. Wow,
so he was detained. He by former head coach Sharon Moore,
(23:46):
was detained in Michigan and then subsequently handed over to
police in Pittsfield Township pertaining to an investigation that is
now tied to the alleged relationship, which was the cause
of action, according to reports of the losing of his
(24:07):
job as head coach of Michigan Football. Yikes, Uh, not exactly.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
How you planned to go out new New.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Now they're not saying
who the alleged inappropriate relationship was with. There are no
details about that that I have seen anywhere. It's all
basically they're just saying a staff member, so not student,
not saying students, saying staff members. So no additional details
(24:40):
on who that person was, But uh, that will I'm
sure more will come out today as that goes on.
So a little bit of sports news there for you.
We have coming up your first chance to win pair
tickets too see a Taylor Family Christmas up at the
(25:04):
Performing Arts Center at Wheeling Park High School. So that
will be coming up here a little bit, a little
bit shortly. Otis do you know? I'm gonna ask you.
You probably do.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
What is watercress?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
It's a vegetable.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
It's a vegetable. Well, it is a big winning vegetable
because it has been named the healthiest vegetable in the world.
I don't think I've ever had it. I probably have
not had it. I probably wouldn't even know if I
saw it.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
If you had it, probably not.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The CDC recently released a list ranking of forty one
powerhouse fruits and veggies, and members of the cabbage family
topped it. According to the CDC, the watercress earned a
perfect score of one hundred because of its dense profile
of items vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants, and a low
calorie package Chinese cabbage and charred chart charred charred. I
(26:02):
can't say it right, card come in second and third respectively.
By the way, talking about words, was it yesterday we
talked about louver or Louverra. I heard it said twice
last night watching television, and they said Louve.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Okay, they mispronounced it.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They did not say Louverra. So I so told you
I've never heard it called louver before. That's fir. And
I almost texted you too. I almost text you to say, look,
they said Louve, they didn't say Louverra. I didn't write

twenty first one eight hundred sixty two four eleven seventy
(27:42):
caller number twelve. You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience,
Otis and Sam here on news Radio eleven seventy WWVA
seven fifty two on your chilly Thursday morning. Congratulations to
Diane from Wheeling. She is going to get to go
(28:05):
see a Tayley Family Christmas show. Get you in the spirit,
just a couple days before the big day. But she's
not alone today. We're gonna have another winner a little
bit later in the show, so stay tuned for that.
So I mentioned it was a little chilly this morning,
I got out the big my wookie coat. I guess
I'll call it. It's a bit furry. But listen, we're
(28:28):
not alone. Many parts of the US are seeing the
coldest temperatures of the season so far. If it's freezing
where you are, you might feel like you're starring in
this movie.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
There's something outside that's chillingly dangerous. Your teeth will chatter,
your car won't start, and you are frozen, stiff cold
from frozen films. When the weather outside is frightful, it
(29:00):
won't be delightful. Cold now causing shrinkage outside.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Of you.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Told you it ended strong, well, not with shrinkage. Drinkage.
That's pretty good. That was pretty good. Yeah, it's a
bit it's a bit chilly out there. I don't think
we're going to get it as cold as some of
other parts across the nation. I actually honestly haven't looked
at the weather this morning, but I don't think we're
(29:28):
gonna get it like a lot of folks are are
going to be hit this morning and throughout the next
couple of days because it's uh, it's it's chili. It
is chili out there. If you uh, here's another chili item,
if you will. Bud Light is brewing beer, brewing or
(29:54):
using something different to brew beer this time around, So
bud Light is using snow from high Mark Stadium, which
of course is home of the Bills to brew a
limited edition beer. My first thought, do not use the
yellow snow? But I digress. But Light is marketing at
(30:18):
it as Blizzard Brew. The snow used in the brew
was collected after the first snowfall of the season last month.
Blizzard Brew will be sold in sixteen ounce cans and
be available at retailers in the Buffalo area. It will
also be available through the Bills January fourth game against
the Jets, their final home game of the season. Now,
(30:42):
how do they distinguish which snow they're going to use
in which and how does that get through like the
not the FCC, the like cleanliness and all of that.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
They probably boil it first.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh yeah, probably that just doesn't sound.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
So how they gotta get it to melt, which isn't hard,
but so they probably scoop it somehow, and then they
throw it into a probably a container and and then
it melts, and then they boil it and then they
put it into the brewery.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I guess I'm just thinking about drunk football fans and
not the uh the most Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well, they might have done it when there might have
been a snowfall when there was no game going on, too.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh, Wow, Okay, yeah, you're probably right. I guess I'm
I'm thinking of I don't know. I've got a vision
in my head of like a game's actually going on
and the bills are doing fantastic and the whole thing.
But that's where that's where my brain went. That's where
my brain went went. Here's another thing. Health professionals discourage
(31:46):
drinking hot toddies while sick. So if you're filling a
little under the weather, maybe uh, maybe don't go for
what grandma's uh uh medicine was, despite it being, of
course apopular home remedy. Mayo Clinic Family medicine physician Jesse
(32:06):
Bracamanti says, I would never recommend having alcohol with any illness.
That goes against what how many Grahamas told you, you
know growing up. Heck, my grandmother used to put I
forget I think it was whiskey. She would put it
on when little ones were teething on their gums.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
She's not the only one.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
While ingredients like honey, lemon, and hot water provide therapeutic
benefits for respiratory infections, alcohol poses significant risks. Combining alcohol
with cold medications like benadryl. Maybe sounds like a good
time for some increases dangers, including falls and overdose, particularly
for people over sixty five. Also, alcohol weakends the immune
(32:52):
function in slow and slows healing. However, non alcoholic versions
help recovery. It's so funny the unusual or the out
of the box home remedies that people come up with.
I will say, I've already had my annual illness sinus infection. Hopefully,
(33:17):
knock on wood, it's one and done this year for me.
You never get sick, though, otis It seems like, oh.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I do, But I just don't line and complain about it.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Okay, Hey, I thought as long as I could, I
was awful, I was miserable.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Now I'm not saying you do. I just oh, I mean,
there's days I feel under the weather. But I mean
for me to get like super sick is rare. I'm
not gonna say anything because I probably jinx myself.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
That's true. Well, I already had it knocked me on
my keyster for a week. Basically, all right, seven fifty
eight coming up, we're going to be talking to doctor
Norman Would. As I told you earlier, a very interesting
conversation ahead about the shuddering of the wheeling homeless encampment,
but also his experiences across the state and across the
(34:12):
region when dealing with the homeless, the mentally ill, the addicted.
It's going to be a really good conversation. You don't
want to miss that. It's seven point fifty eight. You're
listening to the bloom Daddy Experience here on news Radio
eleven seventy WWVA
Indeed number one TUK 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.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
WWVA starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
The bloom Daddy Experience. It's seven oh six on news
Radio eleven seventy. You've got a lawmaker, Democrat out of
Washington spearheading the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, And as
she puts it, it would curb the shocking surge of
allegedly wrongful detentions inappropriate conditions, particularly at jail's run by
private companies under government contract, and it would instead end
(00:44):
the federal government's ability to enforce immigration law entirely to
some people out there, who better to comment on this
than Tony Famm, former acting Director of Vice who ran
some of these detention facilities, who is now a senior
fellow with the America First Policy Institute. So you've got
Jaia Paul up in Washington spearheading this Dignity for Detained
(01:05):
Immigrants Act, Tony and pushing false narratives. Once again, we
went through this with AOC. Women are being forced to
drink out of toilets, and now we've got this your comments.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh gosh, it's misleading and gaslighting pretty much the American people.
But I guess it feeds to her base. Anyone that's
ever visited some of these dedicated facilities, and David, I
sent you some photos that I was going to get
you during my tour, and you can see the conditions
and dedicated facility. This one was a family residential center.
(01:40):
You have full scale playgrounds for the kids. You have
indoor gymnasium for activities, exercise activities for the children. You
have a library for folks. I didn't even give you
the copy of the menu yet. But to my point,
I think Jayapal, who hasn't spent a day operating or
managing a detention facility, is really just looking for ways
(02:02):
to obstruct the enforcement action in Title eight. Now, granted,
if she wants to do something about the detention of
the individuals who are here in the country illegally, whether
they illegally crossed over or whether they illegally overstated their visas,
maybe she should do her job and give her members
(02:23):
of Congress and start talking about amending the legislation. That
calls for mandatory detention for certain individual aliens that are
apprehended in the interior the United States. But having been
a person that actually managed a detention facility, it's kind
of funny because she says dignity for immigrants. I'm an immigrant,
(02:45):
I'm a refugee in this country, and I had the
privilege of becoming a US citizen in nineteen eighty five
and then work my way up to being a superintendent
of a local facility that actually housed ICE detainees. And
we are bound local jails as well as what she says,
and they act. Local jails as well as dedicated facilities
are under strict standards issued by ICE and the federal
(03:08):
authorities to maintain operational living conditions and accouterments, as I
would call them. That would make life a bit easy
for well, let me say this, comparatively speaking, a lot
easier for ICE detainees than for our everyday US citizen
who may have been driving without a suspended operator's license
and was incarcerated for thirty days. So to my point,
(03:30):
the standards that we are held to in order to
house an immigrant detainee is much higher than the standards
we even give and afford to our own US citizens
who who may have made a bad choice. So what
I would love to see it. Just my comment to
Representative Jay Palace. I don't see her out there fighting
(03:50):
for US citizens right, and that as a representative. She's
a representative, and that to her voters should probably be
very offensive back home. And she's spending all her energy
focused on a false narrative that doesn't exist to advocate
for illegue immigrants, versus spending her time maybe taking a
(04:11):
look locally as some of the detention standards that impact
her own citizens.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You know, Tony, I just got done talking to Senator
Ted Cruz that we were talking about how disingenuous the
media has become. You know, you said something when you
were quoting her in there that struck me. And I
point this out all the time. I think the falsest
narrative ever pushed by the American media, even more so
(04:38):
than all the crap we dealt with with COVID, is
when people like this lawmaker drop the illegal before immigrant.
They will never say illegal immigrants. This is everything to
do with illegal immigrants and nothing to do with immigrants.
There is a huge difference in a purposefully le that
(05:00):
out and it is the falsest narrative I've ever seen
in my life.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It absolutely is. And you know what, I will tell
you that is a act that is a completely different
topic that I can go off on.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
For an entire show if you want me to.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Next week, Because you know, yeah, my family and I
we came to this country as refugees at the end
of the war in nineteen seventy five. We were very
blessed with an opportunity to start our new lives that
were given to us by the sacrifice of over fifty
eight thousand US military person that who didn't make it home,
and that weighed heavily on me as I began my
(05:36):
new life here in America and became citizens in eighty five.
So when I hear I hear representatives, and it's just
typically are the representatives on the left right. When I
hear these representatives begin to co mingle immigrants who came
here illegally or immigrants who gained the system and decided
(05:58):
to stay well past the or removal orders to remove themselves,
versus individuals like myself, my mom, my dad, my sisters,
and so many other people in the Vietnamese community who
were given an opportunity to restart their lives under the
refugee pathway, which is a lawful pathway into this country.
It infuriates me because it devalues my American experience, if
(06:22):
you know what I mean. You know what I'm getting right,
because we worked through the whole process. It took us
ten years before we were naturalized, and you know, it
just seems to me that they want to commingle us
in there just for some form of empathy. I got
to tell you, as a refugee to this country, I
(06:42):
can have empathy to those who want a better life,
but I also recognize and understand and respect the fact
that this nation was one built upon laws, laws that
her colleagues passed years ago that have to be enforced
because without laws, without borders, were not a nation. We're
not a nation at all.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Talking to Tony fam former acting Director of Vice senior
fellow America First Policy Institute, jump over to Illinois. You
literally have in Illinois officials releasing violent, criminal illegal aliens
despite active immigration detainers. You're talking about nearly eighteen hundred
criminal aliens with active detainers, and we're talking about crimes
(07:24):
including homicides, assaults, burglaries, weapons offenses, sexual predatory crimes. Explain
to me how any sane, rational individuals could do this?
Does this just show you how much Illinois Illinois officials
hate ICE or hate Trump. How can you justify to
(07:45):
the residents of Illinois, the residents of this country, Tony
releasing criminal aliens with crimes tied to homicides, assaults, burglaries,
and weapons.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh gosh, you know to your list as they may
not know. I used to be a senior level of
violent crimes prosecutor, right, and so as a prosecutor, when
I see information like this, it drives me, blockers and
infuriates me more so as a prosecute than I was
when I was the eighty one acting director for ICE.
And here's why we have a duty to protect our communities, right,
(08:20):
and a lot of us who get into this these professions,
we do it because not because of the pay, Trust me,
We do it because we have this this never ending,
unquenchable first to protect our community, our neighbors, and do
our best. Now I can be a cynic and say
the folks of Illinois will get the government that they elect, right,
(08:41):
And they elected a governor who doesn't believe in honoring
ICE detainees or detainers to hold these individuals who are
criminal aliens. Now, and let me just say this, I
always like to say that, I you know, we always
have the authority to help prevent product people. I know
that's possible. Telling how can you, Well, we identify those
(09:03):
who are convicted of via the crimes and have a
propensity to reoffend, right, But instead of letting them back
into the community after they finish their sentence, you turn
them over to us. We put them in deportation proceedings,
and we remove them from the country so they won't
have the opportunity to victimize another innocent person. Ever. Now,
(09:24):
you heard about the Charlotte stabbing incident down there in Charlotte,
North Carolina, right, the most recent one. It was like
two months after Ukrainian refugee was murdered, same mass transit line.
That person was unlawfully in this country was deported and
re entered under the Biden administration. But because Charlotte is
(09:49):
a sanctuary city like Chicago is, they would not cooperate
with our colleagues down there in Charlotte. ICE colleagues to
help get these individuals off the streets. So ends up happening.
The individual goes on a stabbing rand page and victimizes
a young man who is only standing up for an
older person that was in em arguing with the Henian immigrants.
(10:11):
So it does to your point, the thousands that were
released by Illinois, it's unconscionable. It's unfathomable that those the
leadership there would compromise the safety and security of every
single Illinoisan who deserves to be protected, absolutely deserves to
(10:34):
be protected, Tony.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I've only got about two minutes, real quick. The revetting
of the Afghan refugee population. You're a refugee after the
incident with the National Guard in DC, your thoughts absolutely.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
There's a twenty twenty two in IG report that skewerd
the vetting process. Originally out quote from it right here.
TVP was found to also allow have to allow some
evacuees to enter the United States who may not have
been fully vetted into internal DHS reports. CVP admitted or
paroled dozens of evacuees with derogatory information into the country.
(11:07):
That's just a small snippet of the report that's online.
I challenge your listeners to go pull it and listen.
But look, we have three hundred and forty eight million
United States citizens. We have seventy six thousand resettled Afghani
refugees under operational Allies Welcome. We have three proven instances
of individual refugees who came through OAW into the United
(11:29):
States through the poor vetting process. Obviously Ramadula la cmual
is the shooter Mohammad al Khore who was arrested down
there and for terrorists of threats to bomb in Dallas,
and then most recently John Shaw Safi for providing material
support to isis K. It's absolutely one hundred percent reasonable
to re engage the revetting of seventy six thousand Afghany
(11:50):
refugees who are let in. That doesn't mean mass removals,
not at all. That just means the government is complying
with their duty to protect three hundred and forty million
United States citizens by re looking at the file to
make sure I will last point here before I let
you go. Twenty eleven, President Obama did the exact same thing,
but on a smaller scale, after a conviction of two
(12:11):
Iraqi refugees in Kentucky for terroristic AAPS. He ordered DHS
to do a full review of fifty eight thousand Iraqi
refugees who were lit in during that period of time.
So it's not anything new. I want your listeners to understand,
it's a one hundred percent reasonable thing to do. It's
not targeting a vulnerable population. Again, we can have empathy,
(12:32):
recognize and understand that that provides them uncertainty, yes, but
we also have a duty to protect our fellow three
hundred and forty eight fellow million.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
City well put Tony, thank you so much, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Four Good Thursday morning, folks. Oh that's a very happy
Christmas y themed intro there, otis. Of course you're listening
to the bloom Daddy experience. Sam and otis here on
news Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Really good interview there, bloom
Daddy with Tony fam. Very interesting insights and commentary there.
(13:12):
So thank you for that. As I said, happy Thursday.
You know what that means by a Thursday. Yes, it does,
Kirks half gallon ice cream. It's your chance to win
this morning. All you have to do is go to
our text line and there are folks out there that
know the text line number seven zero four seven zero.
Just need your name phone number and let's do an
(13:34):
ice cream emoji for your registration to win that. Kirks,
does we have a call?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
We do. We have Brian on the line that wants
to talk about bloom Daddy segment and Illinois and so
on and so forth. So good morning Brian.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Good morning. Yeah. A couple of points about Ilamore law.
I grew up there. They used to make it mandatory
to learn the law in Civics class or you wouldn't
graduate high school. But one of the things that's been doing,
or Chicago has been doing, is exupporting as criminals ever
since Ram and Manuel. The law is that you have
(14:08):
to stay in the county that you're released in. So
he empties up Cook County sends it to all the
other counties around the country or around the state. Rockford
is just as dangerous as and Champagnes just as dangerous
as Chicago, because then the criminals, when they get out
of jail, they have to do their time or their
(14:30):
parole in those areas. They can't those counties, they can't
leave them. The other point of it is real quick
like it's the Illinois state law that if the mayor
of Chicago, if a mayor breaks the law, it is
the chief I'm sorry, it is the sheriff it's responsibility
to remove him from office. So definitely, Chicago mayors have
(14:52):
been and other mayors have been breaking the law, but
the sheriffs aren't stepping up and removing them. So therefore
both the sheriff and of Cook County and the mayor
of Chicago need to be removed.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Brian, thank you so much for your call. I think
it's an example of what we see across the country
when it comes to the uh, the the entitled liberals,
if you will, uh do as we say, not as
we actually do. They want to put off the image
of they're the most welcoming. They are, you know, they
(15:27):
fight for the underprivileged, they fight for the illegal immigrants
because you know they're they're so virtuous, if you will,
but you turn your back and they're actually doing the opposite.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well, they're playing the very souretto playbook of socialism up there.
So they're you're you're exactly right. Uh, it's it's a
system that's already it was set up by him, and
that's what's going.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
On before, you know, before he entered into the federal realm, right, okay, yeah,
so yeah, basically they're sporting criminals out of Chicago this way.
Now they're hoping that we release them, they'll maybe some
of them actually will actually leave Chicago on their own.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Well, and it's somebody else's problem to deal with. They
wanted to Yeah, Brian, Brian, I'm so sorry. I don't
mean to cut you off, but we're up against the heartbreak.
We got about a minute left. So again, thank you
so much for your call this morning. Great insight you too,
you too, Yeah, very good insight there from Brian. But
(16:31):
again I wanted to let you know. I want to
remind you, of course, we've got our half gallon ice
cream from Kirks that we're doing today, that's our text
line seven zero four seven zero, and then coming up
here very short that we're going to have another chance
for you to win this morning. We've got our first
pair of tickets to see a Taylor Family Christmas. We've
got a pair of those for you, so we are
going to be doing that here very shortly. That is
(16:55):
coming up. And then of course we've got our stuffed
stalking Spectacle Pacular. Got that all out. We're gonna be
doing that drawing next Friday during our annual holiday show.
But you register now again on our text line seven
zero four seven zero. Start the message off with bloom
(17:15):
Daddy name, phone number, email, Santa Emoji seven twenty eight.
You're listening to the bloom Daddy Experience Sam and Otis
News Radio eleven seventy WWVA. Flof folks, It's Thursday. It's
seven thirty six. Bloom Daddy Experience Otis and Sam News
(17:39):
Radio eleven seventy WWVA coming up in the eight o'clock hours.
So we have a special guest coming on the show.
His name is doctor Norman Wood. Now, if that name
is not familiar to you, let me. I'm gonna explain
to you. He is a gentleman that I have been
reading a lot of his commentary on social media in
(18:00):
regards to the topic of the Wheeling homeless issue, the
removal of the encampment here in Wheeling. And you know,
there's a lot of people out there who have a
lot of comments, who have a lot of thoughts, who
have a lot of opinions, They don't have a lot
of ideas or possible, not necessary solutions, but at least
(18:27):
an angle or a direction to move in the direction
of a solution. That's where doctor Norman would differs from
others who I like to call keyboard warriors or keyboard
bleeding hearts. He does have ideas, and here's the thing,
he actually has a lot of experience and background when
(18:48):
talking about this particular topic, not only here in Wheeling,
not only here in the state of West Virginia, but
elsewhere in the country. So we're going to be talking
to doctor Wood here in the eight o'clock hours. It's
a conversation I think you don't want to miss. You
don't want to miss because I think, again, he's going
to come and have a lot of different points and
(19:10):
topics that maybe you and I haven't even considered. And
again he's going to bring his opinions and his ideas
from a different perspective. So I can't wait to have
that conversation with doctor Norman Wood again coming up in
the eight o'clock hour. That is going to be again
a really, really good conversation. Also, I posted yesterday on
(19:32):
our Facebook page the High Valley Mall, We're gonna have
candy and George on the show tomorrow and I you
know what, we're taking this nostalgic. We're going to go nostalgia.
We're gonna go what's the other word I'm looking for?

stories and we want to hear from you. So that's
gonna be fun to tomorrow. Odish you with me in there. Yeah,
just let me ramble on. Just let me just let
me ramble on a couple quick sports stories. Want to
(21:08):
let you know about. The Steelers made multiple roster moves
on Wednesday. The team signed offensive tackle Dylan Cook from
the practice squad, added offensive tackle David Sharp to the
practice squad, and placed offensive tackle Calvin Anderson on injured reserve.
Pittsburgh hosts the Dolphins on Monday Night Football later on
(21:32):
week fifteen. The Browns have also made some roster changes.
Let's see here. The team signed offensive tackle Jeremiah Byers
and running back Trevion Williams to the active roster. Cleveland
also elevated cornerback Trey Avery from the practice squad to
the act to the active roster, and the Browns released
defensive tackle Simeon Barrow Junior from the practice squad and
(21:54):
replaced him with Maurice Hurst. The second Cleveland takes on
chicag Go on Sunday, and then the Penguins are hoping
to get back in the winning column. Pittsburgh is hosting
the Montreal Canadians tonight. The Penns have thirty five points
after dropping back to back games in a shutout. Check
(22:17):
out the Pens of course on our sister station Eagle
one oh seven five. And the Nailers. They were home
last weekend, they're not home this weekend. They're not back
until the twenty seventh. I believe it is here in Wheeling.
To twenty seventh and twenty eighth, I think is when
the Nailers return here to Wheeling. Four home games, so
little sports things for you, and then of course the
(22:39):
big sports story that's kind of shaking up the college
football world. Michigan head coach Sharon Moore was fired by
the university over an a legend inappropriate relationship with a
staff member. University athletic director Ward Manuel said credible evidence
was found following an internal invest mitigation. Manuel noted the
(23:02):
university's zero tolerance stands and has named Biff Pogy. I
hope that's correct, Biff Pogy as the program's interim head coach.
But on top of that, following the investigation into the situation,
there was another situation that transpired within and outside the
(23:22):
football building. According to OutKick, less than an hour later,
police were called to a residence to detain the former
coach as an investigation into assault charges have now been launched. Wow,
so he was detained. He by former head coach Sharon Moore,
(23:46):
was detained in Michigan and then subsequently handed over to
police in Pittsfield Township pertaining to an investigation that is
now tied to the alleged relationship, which was the cause
of action, according to reports of the losing of his
(24:07):
job as head coach of Michigan Football. Yikes, Uh, not exactly.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
How you planned to go out new New.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Now they're not saying
who the alleged inappropriate relationship was with. There are no
details about that that I have seen anywhere. It's all
basically they're just saying a staff member, so not student,
not saying students, saying staff members. So no additional details
(24:40):
on who that person was, But uh, that will I'm
sure more will come out today as that goes on.
So a little bit of sports news there for you.
We have coming up your first chance to win pair
tickets too see a Taylor Family Christmas up at the
(25:04):

I do not.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
What is watercress?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
It's a vegetable.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
It's a vegetable. Well, it is a big winning vegetable
because it has been named the healthiest vegetable in the world.
I don't think I've ever had it. I probably have
not had it. I probably wouldn't even know if I
saw it.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
If you had it, probably not.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The CDC recently released a list ranking of forty one
powerhouse fruits and veggies, and members of the cabbage family
topped it. According to the CDC, the watercress earned a
perfect score of one hundred because of its dense profile
of items vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants, and a low
calorie package Chinese cabbage and charred chart charred charred. I

can't say it right, card come in second and third respectively.

Diane from Wheeling. She is going to get to go
(28:05):
see a Tayley Family Christmas show. Get you in the spirit,
just a couple days before the big day. But she's
not alone today. We're gonna have another winner a little
bit later in the show, so stay tuned for that.
So I mentioned it was a little chilly this morning,
I got out the big my wookie coat. I guess
I'll call it. It's a bit furry. But listen, we're
(28:28):
not alone. Many parts of the US are seeing the
coldest temperatures of the season so far. If it's freezing
where you are, you might feel like you're starring in
this movie.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
There's something outside that's chillingly dangerous. Your teeth will chatter,
your car won't start, and you are frozen, stiff cold
from frozen films. When the weather outside is frightful, it
(29:00):
won't be delightful. Cold now causing shrinkage outside.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Of you.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Told you it ended strong, well, not with shrinkage. Drinkage.
That's pretty good. That was pretty good. Yeah, it's a
bit it's a bit chilly out there. I don't think
we're going to get it as cold as some of
other parts across the nation. I actually honestly haven't looked
at the weather this morning, but I don't think we're
(29:28):
gonna get it like a lot of folks are are
going to be hit this morning and throughout the next
couple of days because it's uh, it's it's chili. It
is chili out there. If you uh, here's another chili item,
if you will. Bud Light is brewing beer, brewing or
(29:54):
using something different to brew beer this time around, So
bud Light is using snow from high Mark Stadium, which
of course is home of the Bills to brew a
limited edition beer. My first thought, do not use the
yellow snow? But I digress. But Light is marketing at
(30:18):
it as Blizzard Brew. The snow used in the brew
was collected after the first snowfall of the season last month.
Blizzard Brew will be sold in sixteen ounce cans and
be available at retailers in the Buffalo area. It will
also be available through the Bills January fourth game against
the Jets, their final home game of the season. Now,
(30:42):
how do they distinguish which snow they're going to use
in which and how does that get through like the
not the FCC, the like cleanliness and all of that.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
They probably boil it first.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh yeah, probably that just doesn't sound.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
So how they gotta get it to melt, which isn't hard,
but so they probably scoop it somehow, and then they
throw it into a probably a container and and then
it melts, and then they boil it and then they
put it into the brewery.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I guess I'm just thinking about drunk football fans and
not the uh the most Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well, they might have done it when there might have
been a snowfall when there was no game going on, too.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh, Wow, Okay, yeah, you're probably right. I guess I'm
I'm thinking of I don't know. I've got a vision
in my head of like a game's actually going on
and the bills are doing fantastic and the whole thing.
But that's where that's where my brain went. That's where
my brain went went. Here's another thing. Health professionals discourage
(31:46):
drinking hot toddies while sick. So if you're filling a
little under the weather, maybe uh, maybe don't go for
what grandma's uh uh medicine was, despite it being, of
course apopular home remedy. Mayo Clinic Family medicine physician Jesse
(32:06):
Bracamanti says, I would never recommend having alcohol with any illness.
That goes against what how many Grahamas told you, you
know growing up. Heck, my grandmother used to put I
forget I think it was whiskey. She would put it
on when little ones were teething on their gums.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
She's not the only one.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
While ingredients like honey, lemon, and hot water provide therapeutic
benefits for respiratory infections, alcohol poses significant risks. Combining alcohol
with cold medications like benadryl. Maybe sounds like a good
time for some increases dangers, including falls and overdose, particularly
for people over sixty five. Also, alcohol weakends the immune
(32:52):
function in slow and slows healing. However, non alcoholic versions
help recovery. It's so funny the unusual or the out
of the box home remedies that people come up with.
I will say, I've already had my annual illness sinus infection. Hopefully,
(33:17):
knock on wood, it's one and done this year for me.
You never get sick, though, otis It seems like, oh.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I do, But I just don't line and complain about it.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Okay, Hey, I thought as long as I could, I
was awful, I was miserable.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Now I'm not saying you do. I just oh, I mean,
there's days I feel under the weather. But I mean
for me to get like super sick is rare. I'm
not gonna say anything because I probably jinx myself.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
That's true. Well, I already had it knocked me on
my keyster for a week. Basically, all right, seven fifty
eight coming up, we're going to be talking to doctor
Norman Would. As I told you earlier, a very interesting
conversation ahead about the shuddering of the wheeling homeless encampment,
but also his experiences across the state and across the
(34:12):
region when dealing with the homeless, the mentally ill, the addicted.
It's going to be a really good conversation. You don't
want to miss that. It's seven point fifty eight. You're
