Speaker 1 (00:09):
This Radio seven hundred WLW, Mike Allen Senior and Mike
Allen Junior in four the Great American Willie Cunningham Today, Mike,
how you doing good? Do you have a good Do
you have a good? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah it was one working for a minute. Yeah, there
you go. You're on rock and roll. Okay, technical difficulty?
Good Thanksgiving? Oh yeah, man, oh yeah, got a heck
of a show. You plan the whole thing. So well, yeah,
what are we doing? We got a good show. I
think we've got At twelve thirty, Janie Heisel. Janis, of
course with the Epoch Times, she has been the premier

(00:50):
reporter on this this Somalian thing. She's all over it,
to the point where she's not going to tell you,
but I will.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
You know at the end of the store that you
can comment Newt Gingrich. Yeah you showed me that. Yeah,
you know what, I'm gonna read it later. That's a
pretty big deal, you know. So anyway, we're going to
talk to Janis about that. We're going to have open
lines from one o'clock to one thirty and uh, let's
see one thirty. No, we got the Stooge review. I'm

(01:19):
looking forward to this Eric Conroy, who is the Republican
candidate for the first district. We're going to talk to him.
Because of the redistricting, he's he's got a better district
than he had.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
All I know is he went to elder He gets
my vote.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
His dad was in my class too, So doesn't get.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Any better than that back in nineteen thirty five, don't
remind me. Yeah, So, as you can imagine, I'm pretty
fired up about this Minnesota thing.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I just welcome to America in twenty twenty five, and
if you haven't followed it, there's a lot going on.
So the federal government has spend trillions of dollars on
welfare programs, and they have since the seventies. And somehow
we're shocked and stunned when programs like this get exploited
at unprecedented levels. And like you said, the story's out

(02:10):
of Minnesota. It's a massive welfare fraud scandal AND's unfolded
like a terrible parody of Robinhood, except where the stealing
from the rich to give to the poor. This courage
just steals from taxpayers to fund mansions and luxury cars.
And even we're finding out probably terrorism and the basic outline.
And you know this, during COVID, the government decided, hey,

(02:33):
let's throw money at anyone who says they're feeding children.
Feeding our future is the main nonprofit here. Suddenly they
explode from moving a few million dollars, and that's what's insane.
In twenty nineteen they were doing something like three and
a half million dollars, right right, twenty twenty one, it's
like one hundred million.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
How do you who's watch it?

Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's astonishing, And it's fake meal sites, fake attendance rosters.
Cafeterias supposedly served sout thousands of meals a day, but
nobody showed up. So the people behind these operations are
literally buying cars that cost more than the homes of
taxpayers funding the program, which is disgusting.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's like Black Lives Matter, that's what they did. They
bought condos.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, And to that end, it's us, the peasants who
get lectured about equity while we all fut the bill
for these do goods that are ripping us all life.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Just the extent of this thing is just unbelievable, and
it's the tip of the iceberg.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The kicker And I don't know if you knew this.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
The kicker is when the and I can't remember the
name of it, but it was some Minnesota government employees
organization or union tried to stop this. The people that
were scamming them, the food pantries that were just scams,
sued the state and claimed discrimination. So you're racist for
not letting us hundreds of millions of dollars anymore, because again,

(03:51):
you know, in modern America, calling something discriminatory is more powerful.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Than evidence of front.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, I mean that's starting to change, I think, But yeah,
none of them want to be get the racist tag
on them or god.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Forbid islama phobic right, right, And let's we got to
just ask the obvious question that nobody on the progressive
left will ask or even touch with a ten foot
poll is why does welfare fraud keep happening at this scale?
And the answer is twofold one incentives. Yeah, if you
tell people there's free money available and no one's checking
the receipts, it's going to shock you all. Someone's gonna

(04:27):
steal that money and welfare without verifications, like giving your
Netflix password to the entire dorm in college and being
surprised your monthly bill is now a thousand dollars and
the two The second reason is bureaucrats are terrified of
enforcement because enforcement might offend somebody like we saw here,
because you say, okay, these people are stealing hundreds of

(04:47):
millions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Then they get sued for races like discrimination.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's insane. You know. The other thing too, is there
is no way on God's green earth that Tim Waltz
did not know about it. How could he not? Yeah?
How could he not?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah? And what's now that this is breaking?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
And again I can't remember the name of the outfit,
but whatever the outfit was, that was like Minnesota state
government employees tweeted out when this broke, like, hey, DNC,
we told you guys, don't pick Tim Walls as the
vice president because he's been essentially turning a blind eye
to hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud. And I
think it's very curious that this story is just coming

(05:25):
out now, you know what I mean, of course, conveniently
a few years after the election. But and all this
is happening in the background, the same politicians who like
designed this entire thing go on TV and insist that
we need more programs, and it's like, well, more spending,
more bureaucracy, because carrying carring is like measured by outcomes,

(05:45):
but not how many zeros you attach.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
On the next bill.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's been that way since the sixties with the programs. Yeah,
some of which were good, most of which were just
a big waste of money. LBJ got that ball rolling. Yeah,
Tim Walt's that guy is a goof Why does he
get a what? I can't understand these people go and vote.
What are they thinking? I mean, I know they don't

(06:11):
think like you and I, but right, you know, I mean,
here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
You and I don't know anything about Minnesota other than
it's cold.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
In their accents are annoying.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
But the minute the guy walked on stage, I mean
not to generalize, but the guy walks on stage and
he's like having a seizure, like he's on crystal meth
and like the both hands waving and like the weird
It's like this guy's either on something, there's something. The
word buffoon big time. But that's the point. Is this

(06:40):
scandal isn't a glitch. It's it's the function. It's not
a it's not the defect, it's the effect, and it's
it's it's a preview because any system like this, the
COVID funding and all this kind of stuff that was
just built on unlimited funding with no oversight and ideological
like paralys it's going to collapse under its own weight

(07:03):
because it's if we refuse to fix this stuff, and
welfare ceases to be charity and it's just expected, it
becomes a business model for criminals. And you say, like, hey,
they're stealing this stuff. Well, you can't say that because
that's racist. It's like, what the hell's going on here?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, you know, and I'm pretty sure Ohio has like
an ig inspector general that looks into these things and policism.
How in the hell do they not police a billion
dollar plus program?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Think about this, that feeding families or whatever the big one, right,
Think about how confident you have to be that you're
not going to be held accountable that when people ring
the bell on you, like when people ring the alarm
that you're stealing millions of dollars, rather than like call
a defense attorney, rather than seize the fraud, they file

(07:52):
a lawsuit to continue the theft, Like that's that is
so stunningly arrogant. And I don't need evidence that Tim
Walls knew about this. That's all I need to know
is that these people were so confident that they weren't
going to be held accountable that they sued the people
trying to hold them accountable.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's just well, you know, you hear a lot these
days about affordability. There's one reason one. I'm more interested
in account ability, absolutely, and somebody has to be held
accountable for that mess.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well, you stop and think about this like, and I
do this a lot. Like you see that number, that's
like two hundred million dollars. What if somebody went to
the worst part of Price Hill right now and said
I'm going to invest two hundred million dollars in this neighborhood,
that would fundamentally change that entire neighborhood. But instead that
two hundred million went to possibly Somali terrorists. That's the thing, man,

(08:48):
And you know, I'm gonna ask Janis about this. Janis
Heiseel in her story she talks to someone I forget
who it is, someone of some stature, and they said,
they're pretty damn sure that it went over there.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
We're a terrorist people.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, I just don't understand how you know people especially,
And that's why it's the design.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's not the glitch.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Anybody logical who gives a crap about being a public
steward of tax dollars would realize, like, hey, a welfare
program that doesn't require verification is not a safety net.
It's an ATM for anyone who's got the cajones enough
to go grab the free cash.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Like it just makes absolutely no sense. But yeah, here
we are.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well, we'll be talking about that throughout the show, and
I'll be talking about tomorrow on Saturday midday because it's
a big one.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, And what I want to talk to, what talk
to janis about, is if because people keep talking about
how how Ilana Omar may be attached to this, and
I don't know if that's just conjecture because she's a
scumbag and a terrorist sympathizer. But if there's a god

(09:57):
in heaven, if there is a god in heaven, there
will be like red handed evidence that shows that Ilan
Omar was involved in Honest to God, I want someone
to name a politician in American politics that has gotten
away with more in a long period of time than
she has.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
She married her brother to scam the immigration system.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
That's I know. I mean, somebody's got a lot of
family from the Hollers in Kentucky. You know, that's offensive joke.
But what I'm saying is it is astonishing to me
that in one state, in one period of time, there
are that many politicians like ilhan Omar and Tim Walls
that have zero accountability whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, I mean, if you look at the presidential race,
we were talking about it with respect to Kamala, she
would not pick Shapiro. She couldn't because that would piss
off her radical anti Semitic base, and that's how they
do things.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
She can witch. You see him this week.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I heard, I heard.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
My god, it's a good thing. I don't I saw
the actual written quote. And we're talking. I guess Josh
Shapiro went off on some reporters this week about somebody.
I guess the reporter had asked about Kamala Harris and
that he was actually measuring the drapes to the Oval
office and he blew his top. He said, I think

(11:18):
he used the word BS, like, not the initials like,
actually said the word BS. And he said, she's just
trying to sell books. I gotta be honest, Like if
you thought the twenty sixteen primary debate stage was entertaining
with like Trump going off on all these people, Trump
talking about, you know the way Casik eats in this
one's hands, the debate stage with Kamala Harris, Josh Shapiro,

(11:42):
Mayor Pete, all the people that she has just smoked
in her book, all on.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
The same stoes. She's she's not gonna be able to
get elected dogcatch. Yeah, I'll be honest, I wonder if
she actually runs. I bet at the end of the
day she doesn't. And I might as well confess here.
I confessed on Saturday midday I bought her book, did you?
And I couldn't help it, man, I wanted to. And
it was everybody's fault but hers. And she talks about

(12:08):
waking up the morning after the election and just being
kind of frozen, saying audibly to herself, what's gonna happen
to the country?

Speaker 3 (12:17):
No, you didn't every again, that's it. She is the
shining example of something. And I was talking to somebody
this week about it, and they basically say, what's other
than bad policy, what's the most annoying thing about Democrats.
And one of my friends said, it's the performative nature
of them, that everything's a performance. Everything's a protest from

(12:37):
Nancy Pelosi kneeling with a dashiki on with everybody in
Democrat Congress when George Floyd was murdered, Remember them all
kneeling from that to the it's all it's all performative
and that, and Kamala Harris sums that up in a
person she personifies. There's no substance. No, it's all talking points,

(12:59):
there's no authentic his city, it's all what the the
focus groups tell her to say. I'll be honest with you.
And I said this to somebody and they got really mad,
and I stand by it. There's not much to her, No,
I know, I patently disagree with Hillary Clinton, but I
could admit she is a brilliant woman. No, she's an
educated there, she's an educated person. She's she is a

(13:23):
very quote unquote good politician. She uses her powers for evil.
Kamala Harris has no political talent whatsoever. And it just
she can't hold a conversation anywhere. Yeah, I mean a
meaningful one.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
If you've seen that, well, I forget what her name is.
She she imitates, she does impressions of Saturday Night. She
even looks like her. No, I don't think that's somebody different. Yeah,
she's got the cackle. She's got that cackle down perfect.
Maybe you'll find it and play it.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, we'll have to.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
But it's what's frustrating about it is it is fun
to watch that themmocrats flail. But when you look at
some of the polling numbers coming up for coming up
for the midterms, it's it's weird. They didn't have their
you know what together for months and now all of
a sudden, just because of the of the uh, what's

(14:15):
gonna call it, just because of the economy and all
that kind of stuff, Democrats are back in the game
so well.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
It kind of scares me, to be What.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Worries me and you and I were talking about it
is the mega people, the hardcore mega people. They don't
go out to vote if Trump ain't on the ballot,
and if that happens, then we're gonna lose the House
and maybe the Senate. He's got to do whatever he's
got to do to get him out.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
And the other thing is too and me and sheriff
were talking about this before he went on the air,
and I think you'd agree with it. Trump's messaging on
the economy has not been good. And yeah, he's been
great with Israel and he's been great with that messaging,
and he's done the world a lot of favors. But
you know, the his base is about domestic issues, you
know what I mean. And the economy is getting better,

(15:01):
but he keeps saying and day, I gotta give Dave
credit for this. He said the economy is getting better,
but Trump keeps saying things are now cheaper. And it's like, no,
you can't say that. What you need to say is
I inherited the biggest disaster of a presidency. I've only
been here a year. Give me some time to fix this.
But we all know Trump being wired that way is
remember when he said I'll fix the criminal justice system

(15:23):
in two or three weeks. You and I just started
howling because we're like, oh my god, don I believe
in you, man, But two and.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
A half centuries maybe you know, Yeah, it took a
long time to screw it up.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's gonna take a long time to fix it all man.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
But sometimes he just talks too much take the truth
social away from him.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Say I voted for that, man, I love it. I
think he's hilarious, and I get it. It's my own, you know,
my own selfishness. But yeah, the fact that he's like
back on social media is entertaining.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, he's not shy about I think he wakes up
in the middle of the night and things, Ah, you
know what, I'm gonna tweet that.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
The thing I missed the most about the Trump presidency,
other than a functioning president, was getting up every morning,
making my cup of coffee and opening up Twitter to
see the latest outlandish, hilarious thing that he said. And
it was like, for four years, I didn't get that laugh.
And now it's like, oh, he's coming out of his Shelly.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I remember the debates in twenty sixteen, and this is
how much I know. I thought, George what's his face Bush? Yeah,
was going to be the candidate. And you know that
didn't even happen at all. Trump just bulldozed everybody. Hey, listen,
we got to take a break for the news. But
when we get back, we are going to be talking
to the aforementioned Janie Heisel about that mess in Minnesota

(16:43):
and we'll do that when we get back from the news.
Mike Allen Senior, Mike Allen Junior in for Willie seven
hundred WLW. Hey, we're back, Mike Allen, Mike Allen Jr.
In for the Great American Willie Cunningham. Hey, I wanted
to say this before I forget. We've got open lines

(17:06):
from one o'clock to one thirty. So if you want
to call seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred
the big one are the numbers. In the meantime, I'll
tell you what, Mike. Every day it seems to be
something new about this monumental scandal in Minnesota. Billions of dollars.
It's it's not just a little chunk. It's a big

(17:29):
old chunk. And I've got a few years on me,
as you well know. It might be the biggest taxpayer
ripoff that I've ever heard of.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
It's amazing, it really is.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Janis Heisel of the Epoch Times has been all over
this thing, all over it, and she actually was recognized
and she's too modest to read it. So I'm going
to read it. None out of than Newt Gangrich sent this.
You know, after they have a story, you know, you
can put you can put your comments down. That's what

(18:03):
Newt did. Anyway, bear with me here because it should
be read. Janis Heisel's article and Epoch Times on the
gigantic scale of fraud in Minnesota is an extraordinarily clear
and well done article about one of the biggest examples
of government socialism's inevitable tendency toward corruption and favoritism. It

(18:27):
should be a must read, must reading for every citizen
I agree with that who once honest government and realizes
how big a problem corruption has become. Now, I would
submit to you, it doesn't get any better than that. Hell,
though the afore mentioned Janis is with us. Janis, thanks
so much for joining us today.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Thank you so much for sharing that as well that
I was really quite humbled to receive that really nice endorsement.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
That's a big deal. That's a big deal. Well, I
guess the first question is I mean, anything new since
you wrote a story the day before yesterday, I think
anything new popping on this thing because you're all over it.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Well, it seems like there's something new all the time.
Right now, I'm actually working on a story about the
fact that the House Oversight Committee is demanding some answers
from Governor Tim Waltz as well as his the Minnesota
Attorney General, Keith Ellison, and they're basically saying, look, there
are allegations that you guys were aware of the fraud

(19:35):
and covered it up or ignored it because you were
worried about political ramisis.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's pretty bad. That's unbelievable. Gennis you there, Yeah, I
think we lost her. Yeah, we lost her. What I
want to ask her, she'll call back. What I want
to ask her is is there any possibility of the
government recouping any of this?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (19:58):
My, you know what I mean, I doubt And then
who does that fall to? Is it Minnesota or is
it the federal government?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, the feder involved in it now, right from what
I understand from reading it, it was although I'm sure
federal money was in there somewhere, Yeah, it was up
to the state to keep uh, you know, keep it going, honestly.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah, And that was gonna be a question are these
state funds or federal funds? And then is it up
to the Feds to go get the federal money? Well,
I mean, I can't imagine it's easy to find they're
buying cars and houses and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
You know what I mean, if there are criminal charges
to be had, which there has to be, you know
from your federal work that we did that there's a statute,
the federal statute for everything.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
And this is just out and out theft.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah. Yeah. And that's the thing is, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's hard for me to believe that this just came
out now, I know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
We got her back, Yeah, we got Jannis backed, Mike.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
I don't know what happened, but here we are. I
don't know how much.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
How much did you guys hear Did you hear what
I was saying about the house oversight?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yes, yeah, no, we got that. We got that.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
My question is, and we're just talking about this, is
can the government recoup any of this money?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
And if so, who's that up to? Is that up
to the state or the feds?

Speaker 7 (21:14):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (21:14):
That is not one hundred percent clear to me.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
However, I have seen some indications out there that some
of the money was spent on properties.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
Yeah, it would seem to me.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
I haven't investigated this, but it would seem it would
stand to reason that there would be a mechanism for uh,
the agencies to somehow get ahold of those properties and
you know, seize them and then get some of the
money back. But it also seems like, oh, unfortunately that
a fair amount of this money is gone to the

(21:47):
four Wins, you know, because they so Malia does not
have a normal banking system. And I don't pretend to
know the ins and outs there, but because they don't
have a normal banking system, there are people here sending
money over there. Some of that money was fraudulently gained,

(22:08):
according to reporting, and a lot of concerns out there,
And the problem is when it goes over there, the
Somali terror networks can get a hold of it, and
I don't know again how you would trace that. There
may be ways to do it with today's modern technology,
even in places like Somalia, but that part of it

(22:30):
is sort of something that I don't know a ton
about yet.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
But there are many, many aspects of this.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
It's it's crazy, there's so much I can't I really.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Can't keep up.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Proverbial tip of the iceberg, right, you know, on your
story of December the second earlier in the week, janis
I just wanted to ask you about something on page two,
I just want to read a couple of sentences and
ask you story is federal prosecutors say welfare fraud schemes
have reaped billions of dollars in taxpayers money. Most of

(23:03):
the defendants charged are of Somalia heritage, a fact that
has been taboo to report. Let me ask you the
question it's I kind of asked it rhetorically. Why is
it taboo to report theft on that scale?

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Well, apparently what was going on a lot of people
who were initially trying to raise alarm belt a decade
ago were being accused of being racist for doing so.
And so there was even actually at least one lawsuit
that I'm aware of, where people alleged that, you know,
they were disproportionately targeting people from Somalia, and so that

(23:45):
has a chilling effect, not on other people they don't
want to, you know, also be subjected to lawsuits.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
You know, why would you do it too?

Speaker 5 (23:54):
If you feel like that the officials aren't going to
do anything about it, you know, so whistleblowers, political people,
government leaders, all of the It had a child.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
Effect on all of that from what I understand.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Interestingly, however, I thought this was quite significant. A gentleman
who's been tracking this for four years now told me
that a lot of the inside information about the fraud
is coming from other members of the Somali community.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
So it is important to not broad brush and say
every Sabola in there.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Is involved, because a lot of times, from what I understand,
they see their neighbor has a brand new BMW and like,
how the heck did that happen?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
And we paid for it?

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, so they were They've been raising some of the alarms,
you know, behind the scenes, and so those people who
are honest do deserve credit for doing that, especially because
you know they're a member of this community.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Hey, Janna sider Quin, and I think you may have
already kind of answered it, But my understanding of Somalia,
and you know we've heard about the pirates and all
that kind of stuff, is that you you said there's
no central banking system. I mean, it's been functionally an
anarchist society essentially. I don't even think they have a
functioning government. I guess the question is is it safe

(25:12):
to is there some concrete, you know, tie or piece
of evidence that goes this money was going directly to you?
Know Al Shabaz or whatever terrorist group or is it
something where you just go, well, if there's money going
to Somalia, we all know where it's going and it's
probably a terrorist group, all.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
Right, So there have I do not have the type.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Of sources that the City Journal publication of the Manhattan
Institute have that they did report in their story that
you know, intelligence sources, you know, people who in the
intelligence community were able to substantiate that that is happening.
That is not the type of sourcing that I have
because I mostly covered the Trump campaign for the last

(25:54):
few years here for the Epic Times. But it is
something you know that we are trying to look into.
But again, if you can't just whip up a source automatically,
and you know, these people are very you know, cautious
with speaking and so. But right now there are official
investigations going on and the Treasury Department is in on that,

(26:14):
so they would be they would have the power and
ability to really prove it, not just on a source
basis and come out with an official statement. Interestingly, that
very allegation that you just raised, the concern that the
money has ended up in tear Us hands after being
supposedly targeted to people.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
Who are needy.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
That allegation aired a like years and years ago.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
I'm talking it was around.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
At least twenty eighteen that I found a report where
a whistle blower was alleging that, and the a state
watchdog agency basically said, oh, you know.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
We can't prove it, but they did say it could,
that it could. It was a.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Probably a strong possibility that they couldn't prove that the
money was going to terror us at that point. But
that's one of those sort of adding insult to injury things,
is that that we literally have, according to federal prosecutors,
billions with a bee.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
I've seen reports up to fifteen billion. Wow, well, it
could possibly be involved.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Here, Janis, I wanted to go back to your story,
your most recent story again. You spoke extensively to a
guy by the name of Bill Glan He's a policy
fellow at the center of the American Experiment. Here's what
he said. I'm quoting your story. Glenn, a former Federal
Reserve System analyst, told The Epoch Times he believes quote

(27:42):
with one hundred percent certainty close quote that al Shabab
is receiving the money most likely despite the sender's intentions
to benefit their friends and relatives back home. I would
be shocked if that were not the case.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
It asked right, look, that gentleman actually did used to
work for the Federal Reserve. He told me, Hey, I
know how money transfers work.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
He does, And so that's why I felt comfortable quoting
him on that very point.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, it's one hundred per cent. Certainty's good enough for me.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Let me ask you this Janis And I feel like
if I saw it somewhere but I didn't hear it.
It was there some group in Minnesota that was I
don't know if it was like a government workers union
or something like that. Apparently there was a tweet that
they put out or something that said, hey, we told
the DNC about this before Kamala Harris decided to choose

(28:37):
Tim Walls. It's just very hard for me to believe
that a people in the Biden administration didn't know about this,
because I mean, it goes from three and a half
million dollars from this fof network or whatever to in
two years, hundreds of millions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's just it's unreal to me that.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
This was not known by people, you know, sort of
in the up restaurants of state government in Minnesota. When
that sort of disparity in two years. I mean, it's
not like one hundred million more hungry people all of
a sudden appeared in Minnesota. I mean, I guess what
I'm asking is is it safe to say that this
was sort of known and just sort of hushed, you know,

(29:17):
in the political circles in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
I guess, Well, what I can.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Tell you about that is the the group you're referring
to that that there, the title said it was something
like DHS, which in this case stands for Department of Human.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
Services, so the welfare that's DHS Employees Group or something.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
They did have some indications that that, you know, they
had the whistleblowers within the employee group were alerting people
in high places, including alerting Tim Walls. That's part of
what the Oversight Committee is investigating.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
And initially I had some concerns, you know, trying to
be journalistically sound here, I wasn't sure whether this group actually,
you know, I could go on there right now and
say I'm with you know, XYZ employee group, you know,
and come up with a false account, right, so that
it didn't have an official check mark or anything, and
so I was a little skeptical whether these people, you know,

(30:20):
truly were employees. However, since this originally came out, there
have been legislators in Minnesota on the record saying yes,
they have verified that the people making these ex posts
you know on the formerly.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Twitter are on there and they are.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
Employees of the DHS, and they are quote brave whistleblowers
who are actually now speaking to the legislators about their concerns.
So they that group actually got taken down.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
I think what probably happened.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
I'm just putting two and two together, but it looked
like it was actually a group of you know, an
official account of the government, right, But it was not.
So they changed their name and said it was like
a commentary account.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
And now they're back up with full force.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
At one point one of their post receives get this
forty million views.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
Wow, people are.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Massively interested in and outraged by this whole scandal.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
But now I'm going to rock your world.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Well, can you do it quickly? Janis? We're about out
a time, but I want to hear what you say.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
I found out that there are some other states that
have fraud that is actually worse. One of them is California,
of course, and that so there I'm looking into trying
to put something into context and show what these other
states fraud looks like as well.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
It's not just Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Jnnis. I really appreciate you, and I know Mike Junior
does too. Take you more time, Hey, I wanted to
tell people too Saturday midday Tomorrow, Janis is going to
be talking to us at ten o'clock, so appreciate you
doing that. Janis.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Watch I think it's eleven, mic, but yeah, yeah, you're right,
all right, thanks both.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
Mike's I appreciation.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Thanks, all right, thank you. Oh man, I'll tell you
I can't believe it. But anyway, we got to hey
open lines seven, Big one, seven hundred WLW. They were back.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior, Mike Allen
Senior in for Willie UH and as Willy says, we
are monitoring all events simultaneously. Apparently there has been some
settlement with the City of Cincinnati Law Department UH dismissing
a bunch of charges from the protests of twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
UH.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
We will dig into that here in a little bit
and give you more. But it just broke. But uh dad,
let's go to the funds. Huh yeah, let me do that.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
How about Joe in Upper Sandusky, Hey, afternoon, Joe, thanks
for calling.

Speaker 8 (33:02):
Hey, hey, fellas, how you doing good?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Good? What you got for us?

Speaker 8 (33:08):
I got for you is we need to know and
you need to remember, especially you older Mike. Remember the
wrong Reagan Democrats?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, oh yeah, he got a lot of them cross yeah.

Speaker 8 (33:20):
Yeah, but you know wrong. Reagan didn't talk like the
way you two gentlemen have been talking to day about Democrats.
You know, he didn't talk that way.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
He was judicious. I mean, he gigged him. But yeah,
I understand what you're saying. But hell, let's talk radio, Joe.

Speaker 8 (33:35):
I mean, you know, yeah, yeah, no, no, See, you
guys are taking rush Limball to the extreme. I mean,
even Willie's bad enough. But seriously, these are elected officials
and if we don't learn to get along with each other,
we're never gonna move any further. You're gonna go further
right and I'm gonna go further left.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Gotcha, what can you give me an example, man that
something you didn't like or.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
Well, what do you call Governor Walls? He's a governor.
What you call it?

Speaker 3 (34:04):
I called him a buffoon. I mean there's a lot
of stuff. I can call him and say, if the
shoe fits, if the shoe fits. So if you let
me ask you something, let me ask you somebody. If
you get elected, are you just free from being criticized
by anybody?

Speaker 8 (34:18):
It's about being respectful to politicians who actually put their
lives on the line to run for office anymore. Okay,
And when when you portray the left.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Very polite, when the left is very polite to Donald
Trump and his supporters.

Speaker 8 (34:32):
Now, oh my god, when what did Hillary call you deplorable?
And that was such an insult? That was such an
insult it hurts your face.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
No, I'm not talking I'm talking about it.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I'm talking about having DA's across the country indict the
political leader of like supporters that like seventy or eighty
million people, like half the country. Maybe that maybe maybe canceling,
maybe canceling his supporters and dbanking them.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
May I had some stuff to do with that too.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
What's the current d J doing now to indict.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Who I'm saying, you get what you give to stop.
When does it stop?

Speaker 8 (35:08):
Stop?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
When when Democrats learn that did this stuff is a
boomerang and then it comes back.

Speaker 8 (35:16):
So that's exactly what's going on.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Okay, So let me ask you something.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
What would you rather have If you can say out
loud that it was wrong for Hillary Clinton to call
this deplorable? Can you say out loud it was wrong
for Donald Trump to be indicted by six or seven
different prosecutors on just ridiculous stuff?

Speaker 9 (35:31):
Man?

Speaker 8 (35:33):
Did Donald Trump inside or riot January?

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I didn't ask you that. I didn't know. Let's let's
play this out.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Let's play this out, dude, Let's do this answer the question?
Are you going to answer the question?

Speaker 1 (35:46):
He was?

Speaker 8 (35:47):
He was? He was indicted for reasons.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Okay, dude, Hey, we got to get going.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, yeah, this clown's unsavable.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Have a nice day. I appreciate the call you.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
You know, that's it's classic. I mean, that's literally the
anatomy of arguing with a leftist. It's amazing. They just
they can't answer questions. It's always I know you are,
but what am I? I did not call Tim Waltz
an idiot. I called him a buffoon. Okay, here, I'll say,
Tim Wolves is an idiot. I just did no question,
no question. Hey, let's go to doctor Dennis in Annapolis. Hey,

(36:22):
doctor Dennis, how you doing, Beach police?

Speaker 7 (36:24):
What are you?

Speaker 1 (36:25):
How are you doing?

Speaker 9 (36:26):
Mike?

Speaker 8 (36:27):
Pretty good.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
You're not gonna You're not going to give us grief, Dennis.
You're Dennis. You're a learned doctor.

Speaker 9 (36:32):
Man.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Give us, give us some give us some logic and reason. Brother.

Speaker 10 (36:37):
Uh, there are only two sexes. The Democrats invented all
the rest.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 10 (36:45):
Anyway. Uh, these all the Democrats are fretting over these
two Narco terrorists that were left over from the attack. Yeah,
you know, the plight of them. But they have no
problem with killing millions of babies every day. Oh, in abortions,
they have no problem with that. That's a you know,

(37:07):
the nark A terrorist they volunteered or you know, they
they were paid and they had an option not to
do this. But those those aborted babies, they didn't have
any options.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Well, you know, it's a typical Democrat thing. And I'll
use that as an example. Go to bat and you know,
give aid and comfort to the people that are poisoning
our kids, you know, and then turn around blame it
on Trump. They don't want to take responsibility for anyone.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
What's a bigger trend that they're constantly taking the twenty
percent end of eighty twenty voter issues like leave it
the Democrats to stick up for dope dealers getting blown.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
It's astonishing.

Speaker 10 (37:47):
That's a good way I put Yeah, they're basically lawless.
That's my opinion. Anything lawless therefore, Yeah, you're right about
the you know, the leftist they always changed the topic
when you got them cornered. They won't answered the question right.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah, you're exactly right.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Bye, Dennis, thanks a lot, Okay, say thank you. Why
do you think I don't know? Every time it's like, well,
on this transgender thing, they're getting killed or.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
I used to I used to get I'm talking about though,
never just answering a question like I used to get
frustrated at that.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
That's when I start waving the victory. Well, that's how
you know that they get away with it. And I
forgot to ask Janis about this. It was about a
week right when the story broke out there in Minneapolis,
the big three, ABC, CBS, NBC next to no coverage
whatsoever of it.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
It really is. But they're basically irrelevant. Box kicks their ass. Hey,
let's talk to Randy. Hey, good afternoon, Randy. I'm good.
How about you.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Oh, I'm doing great.

Speaker 10 (38:53):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
You know your show is so one sided and you
are so biased.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
I'm gonna mess something here.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
You talked about Charlie Kirk and kok Kirk or whatever,
and how the Democrats made it such a big deal.
The Republic isn't making such a big deal that Charlie
Kirk was killed.

Speaker 9 (39:09):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
The last time I listened to your show was back
in February and the topic was immigration. Right, there was
three collars within an power that said, if they're illegals
coming across the boarder, just shoot them, just shoot them.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I don't know's insane, dude, I don't think because it's insane.
You're just wrong about that. I did not say that.
I would not say that.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Come on, man, say if your callers did and you
didn't have the balls to stand up, toll so, because I'm.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Not going to give a comfort to those people, I'm
just not gonna do it. You don't like that, don't
listen to the dude.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
He laughed at them because they're insane. Let me let
me ask you something. Do you laugh at people when
they say crazy stuff?

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Exactly exactly exactly when you're crazy? I think I hear
the pot calling the kettle black. Hey, I appreciate the call.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I love that he hangs up to.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Well, that's what always has called dude.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Come on, let's go, let's have like a legitimate, legitimate debate.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
All right, let's talk to bar and heat.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
I love this. I missed this.

Speaker 7 (40:17):
Hi, Hi are the Allens, And I'm calling because I
live in Boone County, predominantly registered Republicans there here, and
I was I have been upset that our public libraries,
and I'm sure the school libraries have multiple publications that
are strongly left leaning. And I offered to donate three

(40:42):
year subscriptions to our public library, to the Epoch Times,
I call it the Epic Times, which I considered to
be a fabulous publication. But I was declined. They declined,
They refused to accept my offer and to give some balance.
And there was some wimpy excuse why they couldn't. Well,

(41:07):
it was something that it wasn't in there. No, I
forget the exact term in their list of publications that
they subscribe to. And so I went back, and I
went back several times, and I think there were some
couple of people who would have liked that. I pointed
out that the number of articles that were had covers,

(41:29):
really disgraceful covers of President Trump, outrageous things, and so
those previous callers are, you know, unbelievable. Where their heads
must be in the sand or someplace else if they
are ignoring the fact that the media is so blatantly biased,
and I wanted to counter that. So I will be

(41:51):
going back to our public library meetings. I encourage other
people to say, don't just you know, I'm not going
to offer to do this as a gift. I'm going
to say no taxation without representing.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
There you go, there you go, and you're saying it's
the Boone County Public Library. I just want to make sure.

Speaker 7 (42:09):
People here, Yes it is, Yes it is, and I'm
sure that is the case. I have friends who have
been had retired librarians. Somebody I know was also on
a different library board and an adjoining state, and they
said that the influx of people who are left leaning
coming out of the universities probably are just really driving

(42:32):
the ship towards the left leaning publications. There is a monopoly. Grant.
I understand that I study journalism and I know what
is garbage out there. I think you all do too.
That is not true journalism. But I think the Epoch
Times is a just beyond fabulous. And yes there is

(42:52):
some you know, there is a slant to it, not
anywhere near what is left leaning. But the articles are
just truly inspirational, informative, and and I give that or
that publication such kudos. I'm just my problem is I
keep the articles and they accumulated at home. I'd like

(43:16):
to go to the library to read it. I got you, okay,
all right, thank you for being there.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
No, she brings up a good point. And when you
when you put it in conjunction with uh, was it
Dennis the Goop called earlier? Uh, when you put it
in conjunction, So it's he's like, you guys are worse
than than than Rush Limbaugh and all this other stuff.
Why does why does talk radio predominantly conservative? Well, they
tried left talk radio because miserable, because it's the only

(43:42):
place left, that's the only place left where people that
aren't left leaning have media other places like the Epic
Times and talk radio, so it's funny.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Thank god.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
If you're listening to talk radio and you don't want
to hear right views, probably turn it off. Let me
give you a very brief history lesson. You know, I
followed this stuff from beginning. I followed it.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I don't know, since I was very, very young. Back
in the day, Mike, all you had was William F.
Buckley's National.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Review.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
You had a thing called Conservative Digest, another thing called
Human Events. That's it. Yeah, I mean you know they
had a monopoly. Sorry about your luck. I still do
all right. Well, listen, we have to take a break,
but we will be back. Mike Allen Senior, Mike Allen Junior,

Speaker 1 (49:18):
That's how big the game is.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
What if I want shenanigans though, I want to come out.
Let's shake it up a little bit around our test type.

Speaker 14 (49:25):
Let him play, let them play, and then they move
on and shootouts history and let's move on to the
next game. Also, congrats to Seaton's Cali Combs. She has
been named the Ohio Max Prep Volleyball Player of the Year.
They want the whole thing every year. A few weeks ago,
when Mother and Mercy.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Closed down, I said, Seaton is going to become a
female high.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
School sport powerhouse. And here we are.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
So there you go, there you go, and then we
get some of the elder fans to show up. I
remember we used to go to the basketball games for
seating the kids.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Because we always felt bad. They always went to our
football games.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
True.

Speaker 14 (50:04):
Yeah, see, yeah, let's see EHL hockey tonight. Our beloved
Cyclones are on the road tonight and tomorrow against Indy
Fuel College. Nineteenth rated Miami RedHawks are in Denver tonight
and tomorrow for their action. And right now, the twenty
twenty six World Cup UH soccer draw is underway as

(50:25):
a US, Canada and Mexico or the host countries coming
up next year UH forty eight teams of the sixty
four seeing their first World Cup play in history.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
I wonder if Trump will get involved in that. Oh yeah,
he was there. Yeah he got some of them got
he got a peace prize. I saw it like a trophy.
I was like, what did he do?

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Like, you know, it's hilarious, but wow, you know, so
is it?

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (50:51):
L A? Well, they're going to play all over the place.

Speaker 14 (50:54):
Yeah, And there's rumor they were they were thinking that
maybe Cincinnati might get a couple of matches, but apparently
I don't think that's going to be the case. But
I think what's going to happen is that maybe one
of these international teams that play around this area or
something will use t QL.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Stadium as a practice. Pretty cool.

Speaker 14 (51:14):
So maybe let the fans in see some you know,
see some the superstars of of football there you call
it instead of soccer, that's right, So you never know
what happens.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
It's just some too west side.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Yeah, you know what I mean. I just can't do it.
I just well, here's what drives me nuts. Is like
during the World Cup, all of a sudden, people become European.
Instead of saying zero, they say no, just say zero,
like we're not in Europe right now.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Just say my first one this year. I loved it,
but I was constantly on my phone googling.

Speaker 14 (51:49):
I didn't know the rules, right, But I mean this
is for I mean that little trophies only I don't
know maybe what less. I mean, it's the smallest trophy
I think gone, but it is a major impact because
whoever wins that, whatever country wins that, like Messi and
Ronaldo and Bop and those kind of guys like that.

(52:10):
I mean, they're international superstars as it is, but they're
playing for their country. And I mean, you know, you
got you know, guys that make millions of dollars in
other leagues and they're crying because they're they got beat
in the World Cup. So it means you know, it
means a lot. And you know, I mean a lot
of people. Obviously, people will be pulling for the USA here, sure,

(52:31):
you know, obviously, so.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
I think they'll be pretty good about Canada. Canada is
in it.

Speaker 14 (52:36):
Mexico has always had a good team, so you'll see
what happens.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
I don't know, I missed the days. It was like
we were kids.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
It was huge.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
That dude, what was the name, Alexi? Yeah, the big Yeah,
that team was amazing. And it just feels like I
don't know anything about soccer, but the United States can't
catch up.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Well the women.

Speaker 14 (52:54):
The women overshadowed the men for a few the last
few years, so absolutely with their winning their gold medals
in the Olympics and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
My only hope is the World Baseball Classic turns into
something like that. I mean, it's big, but it's you
know what I mean, but yeah, I mean, we win,
a team wins the Super Bowl in the United States,
it's just football in the United States.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
This is the entire it's a big deal. Yeah, I
was just not I don't know.

Speaker 14 (53:18):
I'd like to see, uh maybe Joe Burrow could play soccer.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Oh that toe and I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, yeah, all right, seg man, all right, thanks gentlemen,
we'll see it a little bit. All right, thank you
so much. All yeah, you are not a soccer guy
any stretch.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
We'll think about it when we go to Koras games.
We had no idea what was going on. It was
just yell yeah, and then they all bunched up together
and then you and I end up tossing the baseball
the rest of the time.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
But we had fun. Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
The main thing.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
Okay, all right, we got a few minutes, well you
know what I want to hit, and we may hit
it more detail later.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
The thing with the City of Cincinnati, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Forgot the look go ahead. They settled.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I'm reading this off Fox nineteen's website. Matt Schaeffer. They
settled a class action lawsuit filed in response to the
hundreds of arrest made during the twenty twenty protests after
the murder of George Fillloyd. Yeah, now you you were
had something not something to do with it, but we're

(54:25):
able to observe some of those in court. Yeah, it
was that.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
So that morning I actually had my you know, the
rotating room may Day and I was in there. It
was wild man and it was like the oldest person
in that crowd had to be twenty four years old.
I mean there are kids, yeah, but they were literally
wrapped around the Justice center. So I walk in. I'm
walking in the Justice center. I said, what the hell
are they giving away free money or something like that?

(54:49):
And I lost one of the kids. I said, hey,
what's going on? I said, we are all being detained
right now. I said, what do you mean? He said,
this is like a jail right here, So what do
you said? The Sheriff's apartment literally has this side because
there was hundreds of them, and I went, I said,
what the heck is going on? In One of the
court staff people said, these are all the people that
got arrested last night in the protest for was it

(55:10):
breaking curfew or whatever? And I remember watching it live
and they were up in Clifton and that's what explains
why it was all kids because they were all college kids.
But I remember thinking to myself, like, dear God, please
don't do it again, because we had two thousand and
one and knee deep in all that in those riots,
and I remember thinking when I saw the crowd, I went,
I don't think this is going to go very far

(55:31):
because there was a bunch of college kids, you know
what I mean. It's like they're not going to be
shooting at cops or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
And that city prosecutor's office dismissed them all, didn't they. Yeah,
I mean that, And that's why they're gonna they're shelling
out money. It says that Hamilton County got tagged for
sixty five grand, no big deal of that settlement. While
Cincinnati will use judgment bonds to pay the remainder. The
payment includes two million thirty five. I'm gonna start saying, sure, attorneys,

(56:00):
it's just well, let me just say, does it surprise
you at all? No?

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Well, coming from the law department that indicts the victim
of a crime that got the you know what beat
out of him, you know what, that same city city
prosecutor's office, It's just why is this shock you. That's
their city political as the day is long, they're gonna
get hammered on.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Chief Fiji getting fired for no reasons. The city law
department shouldn't exist. Well, they should be eaten up by
Hamilton County. We all know that the fire chief got
canned and wasn't told why. He's gonna have a nice payday.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
So if they sue Mayor Piroval personally, will he be
able to pay the settlement when he's having his cars report.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
I don't know. I don't want to beat up on him.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
No, No, I had to come on, but I used to.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
You know, I used to repot cars.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
You want to tell the Mustang story? Watch it.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
The car may have You may have held onto a
car a few days longer atte I thought you were
going to be coy about You're like, oh yeah, I
repossessed the Corvette and kept it for a few days.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Well, I repossessed it up in Columbus, and I thought,
what the hell was a Friday? He might as well
have some fun. We put some miles out. I'll tell
you it was not It was not in real good shape.
So did you have a job on Monday? Well, they
didn't know. I'm not going to say who I was
working for real.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Talk me and you've done this before, and we usually
do it when we've had a few hoodies, so it's
it's hard to.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
How many jobs have you had? Oh my goodness, like
fifteen to twenty probably?

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Oh easy? Yeah, but you know what my first job was,
I swear to God folding an boxes and I'm boxes
at the Balley's on Work Road.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
That's right, you've told me that a million till. All right,
we got to get out of here. We're up against
the break.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
All right. We will be back and we're going to
talk to Eric Conroy. He is running for Congress from
the first district, and we'll be talking to him at
two o'clock. Mike Allen Senior and Junior, seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
They were back News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior,
Mike Allen Senior in for the Great American. As promised,
we are monitoring all events simultaneously, as the Great American
would say. And our fearless leader, Sheriff Dave Keaton just
walked in and handed me a note, dad uh, asking

(58:28):
you shall receive federal judge orders unsealing of Epstein case
grand jury roads. Yeah, and you and I both know
how rare it is for anything out of a grand
jury to be unsealed. But real quick, before we get
to our guest, Judge Rodney Smith found that the Epstein
Transparency Act of twenty twenty five, the thing that Trump
just signed at the end of November, overrode the secrecy

(58:50):
requirements on federal grand jury rules. So asking you shall receive,
I predict it's going to be a nothing burger.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
I do too. Anyway, if they had anything on Trumpet
would a go now absolutely all right, back to business here.
We got a congressional race coming up in the first
congressional district, which I used to be in but I'm
not anymore. We got a great candidate, great Republican candidate running.
He's a former CIA employee, officer, former Air Force officer,

(59:19):
and so many other things. Mike, I don't know if
you know this. He announced his candidacy live on Fox News.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's a pretty big deal. And he's
an elder.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
I was going to say, you forgot the most important
part of his resume.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Hey, Eric, thanks for calling in.

Speaker 9 (59:35):
Hey thanks for having me. I guess I should say
the mics.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yeah, no problem.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Hey, you know, I gotta ask you just starting off
your thoughts on what's going on in Minnesota. I'll tell
you what, Eric, I've been around a while, I've never
seen anything like this, just the depth of the corruption.

Speaker 9 (59:56):
It's absolutely absurd. Is I think there's two things going
on here in the first as political, right, and this
is in another inept democratic government in Minnesota that can't
do basic functions and they can't enforce the rule of
the law. And what they've done is they've delayed and
ignored this problem for too long at the expense of
the Minnesota tax payer. And I think this is yet

(01:00:17):
again another example of why the Democrats are just unfit
to lead in modern times. And then I would say, secondly,
there's a bit of a cultural issue here too, Right,
someone like myself who's lived all over the world and
experience other cultures. When we bring immigrants to this country,
we need to find ways to assimilate them faster. Right,
When you bring in groups of people to America, you

(01:00:40):
get both the great traits that they bring and also
some negative ones. There's no such thing as a perfect culture,
So you know, in this instance, I think it highlights
how we need to find ways to assimilate our immigrants faster,
and I think we do it generally better than other countries,
like the Europeans. But it's something to think about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Yeah, they're going through the same thing, probably worse than us.
And you know, Trump's put the kai bosh on a
lot of this stuff, and it's a long time coming.
I got a feeling we're going to be paying for
the Joe Biden presidency for a lot of years, which
is unfortunate, but I think that's the way it's going.

Speaker 9 (01:01:15):
That's the Holy Doug MinC right. I think we'll be
paying for it long after you're gone. But Mike Junior
and I will.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Eric, you'll like this.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
That was a good gig. I don't know if they
had Saturday listeners are like this. But he is actually
the first person to ever say to me, essentially, I'm
sorry we screwed this country up so bad for you guys.
Yeah yeah, but Eric, let me ask you, this man,
with your background and intelligence and all that kind of stuff,
speaking to cleaning up messes. For a good four years,

(01:01:46):
every single border in the United States was just swung
wide open, from you know, Chinese nationals, to people from
Jamaica to even you know, ISIS and al Qaeda linked
people just walking in. We had the disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan.
And you know, I firmly believe this. And you went
to Elder two man, there's a lot of Vietnamese kids

(01:02:07):
that we went to school with that their parents came
over here after the Vietnam War because they were Catholics
and they helped the Americans and all that. We want
to help folks in Afghanistan that helped the Americans. But
where do you think the failure was here? And I guess,
as part of a two part question, is what's worse
letting in somebody that's been radicalized or letting in somebody

(01:02:28):
who hasn't been radicalized and is somehow radicalized in the
United States?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
I mean, which is worse? You know?

Speaker 9 (01:02:36):
Yeah, I think there's a couple of things here, right,
And firstly, that attack in DC was appalling and horrifying.
But you know, as someone who has spent fourteen years
in both the Air Force and the CIA and worked
in Afghanistan and in Iraq and other places, you know,
we hire a variety of locals to be interpreters, cooks,
and soldiers.

Speaker 6 (01:02:56):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:02:56):
And the traditional reward for helping us in these opera
has been a visa, right. And the problem is it's
very very difficult to vent individuals when they come from
a society with very few written records. Right. How do
you that's someone when they're coming from a place that
doesn't have traditional records.

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:03:16):
I think that that is really what we're dealing with here.
I think with the find ways to really be able
to vet people more comprehensibly when they come here, right,
because then we get instances like we saw.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Yeah, I mean, we don't know who's in this country,
and like I said, I think we're going to be
paying for that for years. Yeah. Hey, I wanted to
ask you to the National Guard shooting, the shooting of
the service members. Obviously one passed away, the others in
really bad shape. Wanted to get your thoughts in general
on that because former CIA and former military, how does

(01:03:50):
that stuff happen?

Speaker 9 (01:03:52):
Yeah, I mean this is a great question, right, And
I think what we had here was an individual that
was radicalized or jaded and they had a chance to
do it, right, And I'm not sure how we counter
that other than trying to do our diligence in general
for people who are coming here, especially from war zones.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:04:11):
War zones are difficult places. There's emotional baggage, there's probably
some PTSD issues in terms of this individual who was
the shooter had some issues as well, and I think
it just goes to show that we really just need
to do our diligence. And when it comes to that
immigration visa that we were talking about for those who
helped us, I think we need to reconsider that policy

(01:04:31):
as well, because in my experience when we were in Afghanistan,
we have the most talented and dedicated people who want to.

Speaker 8 (01:04:37):
Work with us.

Speaker 9 (01:04:38):
Well, that's great, that's terrific, and we appreciate their service.
But at the same time, if they all leave Afghanistan
and come to New York, San Antonio, San Diego, wherever,
who's left back in Afghanistan to build Afghanistan. So it's
something that we need to look at comprehensively, and I
think this incident illustrated that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Yeah, Eric, I got to ask you, and I think
it's it's one of those what are we put in
a cart before the horse or chicken before the egg
type thing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
I just can't.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
I guess it can't wrap my mind around because what
I'm seeing is the reporting is that it wasn't that
he was radical, because you're not going to be a
radical Islamic extremist and then go out of your way
to risk your lives to help the Americans. As I'm
I'm reading that, you know he was essentially doing that
for the United States. You're not going to be a
Jihati and help help, you know, Americans killed Ghatis. What

(01:05:32):
does it say to you, I guess that you know,
a guy fights in Afghanistan, presumably you know on the
basis of nine to eleven, you know, to help the Americans,
you know, take out this this incredibly oppressive Taliban government
and you know, set up a democracy and all that
kind of stuff. I mean, what does it say about
someone who's willing to risk their life that way and

(01:05:53):
then they are actually totally radicalized when they get to
the country that they had helped. I mean, to my view,
that shows that there's it's not so much the vetting
that's a probably, I mean, it still is, but I
think the problem that that reveals is that we have
let people into this country over the last x amount
of years that absolutely hate everything we stand for.

Speaker 9 (01:06:16):
Yeah, and I think there's a couple moving parts to us, right.
And we've talked about really trying to crack down on
illegal immigration and making sure that those people are vetted.
That being said, right, you know, fighting for you know,
Afghanstan's freedom and prosperity is a little bit different than
getting to the West and experience in life in the
West what it's actually like, other than just meeting the

(01:06:37):
occasional marine or airs officer who's over there. So I
think this gets back to the assimilation issue, right, And
we've seen this both here and in Europe.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:06:46):
I was reading a lot of articles over the last
week or two about the Christmas markets in Europe and
they're basically they're basically small military bases with the amount
of security and fortifications that we need at Christmas market staf. So,
once again, I think this goes back to when we
do bring, you know, immigrants to this country who are
of value to this country, we really need to consider

(01:07:08):
how we are bringing them into our culture and making
them feel as a good fit and welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
You are so right about that. I don't know how
anyone can disagree with that theory, I just don't get it.
I don't get the whole you know, the heck with
the Americans, we're going to bend over backwards for someone
who trespassed into our country. I guess that's more of
a statement than a question. I did want to ask
you though, that the buzzword now, Eric, seems to be

(01:07:36):
accountability or excuse me, affordability. And I think there should
be a little more emphasis on accountability. But your thoughts
on the whole thing, the affordability thing, it seems like
that's going to be kind of the buzzword for the election.

Speaker 9 (01:07:53):
Well, it's I think it's both, Mike, Right, Accountability and
affordability are kind of one of the same. And we
can't have affordability if we don't have accountability, right, And
we saw that in Minnesota entirely apathetic and the Democrats
don't want to be held accountable for fraud, waste, and abuse.

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:08:10):
And as we hone in our economic plan and the
President's BBB has been terrific and it will generate a
huge economic boom here. I think in the next six
to nine months. As we do that, that'll help the
affordability issue as well. And I think that's what voters
are looking at, right, and we saw that is the
main topic in the Tennessee special elections.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, I was going to ask you
about that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Eric.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
I mean, there's a lot. It's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
It's like, you know, obviously I run in circles and
my friends and you know, all that kind of stuff.
We're all kind of politically. You know, I'm obsessed. I
would say they're semi obsessed. And it's weird. Like it
depends on who you talk to. Some people say, oh man,
this is this is scary for the Republicans, like this time.
I mean, good god, Nashville, you know that that was
even a question. This woman said she hated people, essentially

(01:08:57):
hated her own city, and it was it was as close.
I mean, I guess my question is where do you
fall on this? Because I fall on it sort of
in the middle where hey, we'd be we'd be dumb
not to take things to learn from this. But I
don't think the sky is falling. What do you think?

Speaker 9 (01:09:14):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, first off, look at those
great soundbites. I mean, you couldn't have more of an
out of time than some of the things. She said.

Speaker 8 (01:09:24):
I saw a lot of.

Speaker 9 (01:09:24):
Pundits talking about the turnout, and I think it's important
to remember that, hey, this is a special election, right, Yeah,
it's not a mid term, it's not not a presidential cycle,
and turnouts are traditionally spotty, uh in those elections. So
but I think what it does emphasize is that we
do need one hundred percent turnout from all of our

(01:09:45):
Republican camps in all elections and just be very dedicated
and voting for our candidates. Because what the Democrats are
really good at doing is they're good at manufacturing anger
and getting their base very motivated. And most of our
base is saying, people, let me happy lives, right, So
they don't have that manufactured anger that the Democrats are
putting out as we saw in the selection.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
Let me ask you this, it's kind of dovetails into it.
It seems to me that if Donald Trump is not
on the ballot, they're real hardcore mega people, they don't
get out and vote, and if they don't, we're going
to have a tough time in the midterms. You know,
I don't know what he can do other than try
to persuade, but that seems to be a problem for us.

Speaker 9 (01:10:29):
Your thoughts, Well, I think it takes all of us
to get out there and vote and really defend the
future of this country with our conservative principles. And Democrats
are a fullmotial opponent, right, I mean they become very
sophisticated in their fund raising apparatus over the last decade,
especially digitally. We're we're kind of behind as Republicans, so
we really need to lean on our traditional values and

(01:10:51):
motivation to get people out there. But also, I think
we've seen a trend lately as well that we need
to really recruit the right candidates.

Speaker 4 (01:10:58):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:10:58):
We've seen a trend here in this country where voters
want outsiders, right, they do not want career politicians anymore.
And if we recruit the right candidates to have a
great story of fundraise around and I'll put a little
plug for myself veterans, Yeah, we can have the right
candidates to rally around and have a great turnout. And
Van Epps was an Army helicopter pilot and obviously won

(01:11:21):
the race.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Yeah, Eric, we got a couple of minutes here, but
I just wanted to ask you i'd be remiss again
with your background and intelligence and all that kind of stuff.
Just generally, what's your take on the drug boats, the
venezuela stuff, all that kind of stuff. You know, it
seems to me that it's pretty basic. I mean, these
are literal narco terrorists. I mean, they're using the sale

(01:11:43):
of narcotics to affect a political change. I mean, to me,
it's one of these things. And this, again is a
defense attorney. I don't really see a problem with this.
I mean, I don't think they're entitled to due process
as they're acting as an enemy of the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
What do you think?

Speaker 9 (01:11:59):
Yeah, and you're you're right on the You're on the
right track there, Mike. And really, these these narco terrorists
are non state actors, right, just like a normal terrorist
group would be a non state actor. And I find
very ironic that the Democrats want to criticize those, so
they won't criticize drone strikes and Yemen or places. It's
basically the same concept. And I think what we as

(01:12:21):
Americans also need to understand is conventional wars like World
War One and World War Two, that's very rare, right,
They're kind of overright, And this is the new I
call it the I call it the passive aggressive war.
And what we have is we have non state actors
that are supported by countries, whether it's Venezuela or Ron
or somebody else. And this is how they try to

(01:12:41):
influence us. Right, It's through Sentinel, it's through narco terrorism,
it's through actual terrorism. And this is kind of the new,
the new passive aggressive war that we're in because I
think as modern countries, we've all realized that a full
blown World War two, world War three is just not
it's not productive for anyone, and this is the new
way to to exert some kind of influence over your

(01:13:03):
the other powers.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
You know. Unfortunately, we're about out of time here, but
before we left, I wanted to ask you if someone
wants to get involved in your campaign rather contribute yard signs, whatever,

Cam Taylor Britt and his defensive teammates with one o
two to go, but Bengals are heading to Kansas City.

Speaker 13 (01:14:45):
And I'll tell you, Dan, this is surprising to me,
not that the Bengals won the football game, but the
fashion twenty seven to ten on the road. Like you said,
Joe Borrow three and zero as a starting quarterback. The
rest of the quarterbacks and Bengal history on the road
own seven and he's three and zero. I mean, it's

(01:15:07):
just unbelievable what this football team is accomplishing.

Speaker 11 (01:15:12):
Boyd and Higgins out to the right, Drew Sample out
to the right as well. Joe Burrow hands on hips
eyeballing the defense. Buffalo is showing pressure up the middle.
The Bengals handed to Mixon gets away from an eicle
tackle running toward the.

Speaker 14 (01:19:12):
Paraguay up against the United States and the opening match

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
I'm multiple questions. What's an orange? And where is Paraguay?
South America? Last one? Okay, you're talking about that? Yeah,
the football? What the hell's in Orange.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Actually physical I know it's up north, but I don't
know what they're dealing.

Speaker 14 (01:19:33):
Buttside, I guess it's in Columbus, Old in Tangi.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
Ra's that's right. That's a piece of fruit, that's right.
I think they're undefeated. I talked about it last week. Yeah,
not ex but you.

Speaker 14 (01:19:45):
Got a real good quarterback in Levi Jones, and uh,
we'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
Man.

Speaker 14 (01:19:50):
Balmbers have gotta they got pressure on them. They gotta
get they got to get a title, bring one back
to town.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
As someone who two in a row, and like say
that that. I can tell you and you were in
the stands, that it gets cold. I mean, I know
we're not anywhere near a lake, but that I mean closer.
But geez, it's gonna be brutally cold. Yeah yeah, yeah,
football and the cold is not. Oh my god, it's horrible.

(01:20:16):
Everything hurts more well.

Speaker 14 (01:20:17):
And the thing for me, I think what they ought
to do is either play them in Columbus, thank you
everybody in the middle part of the state, or you
go Canton, Columbus, Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
And rotate it.

Speaker 14 (01:20:29):
I thought they were get it up and down where
the teams in Cleveland area and all that stuff around there,
and Akron has to drive have to come down four
hours to play here versus every year everybody from here
has to go up to That's ridiculous. But the thing
of it is is that the OHSAA has got a
big deal with the cop Pro Football Hall of Fame.

(01:20:50):
It's there the kids can see the Hall of Fame
and everything else in play where the pros play. But
they could do that here, like, well, they don't do it.
We wouldn't probably knew it at Nippert Stadium because the
n C double A whatever whatever that is anymore, says
that you know, you play a game like Elder and
Moler right in the in the playoffs or whoever it

(01:21:12):
gets twenty thousand people.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Yeah, that gives you c in a recruiting advantage.

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
That's where.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Wow happened a few years ago.

Speaker 14 (01:21:22):
Football, it happened if they made that ruling a couple
of years ago. And it's like, you've got to be
kidding because all you're all you're doing is uh uh
is you know you're you're you're the OHSA is getting
ripped off by themselves. Yeah, they're the one they're by
I mean, you're you're cutting into the money, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
And I've always just thought, well, they hate Elder and
that goes back a long time.

Speaker 14 (01:21:49):
Yeah, well and it give and you give the Bengals
credit in Hamilton County for putting group that game there
that I mean yet what twenty two almost twenty three
thousand amazing?

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
Yeah, I mean, but I I don't know.

Speaker 14 (01:22:04):
I think that out to be played the horseshoe in Columbus,
where everybody's equal distant everything.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
That would be cool. You rotate it, but it's not
the way. It's not the way it is. It's always
either an Elder X Moler versus a Cleveland Saint Edwards Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
It's a home right for them, exactly. But we dropped
the four hours something. Yeah, you can't change the world
in a day. If you have Trump two or three.

Speaker 14 (01:22:29):
Weeks, that's always there you go, right. So, I don't know,
but good luck to the Bombers tonight. Loss for the
Anderson Anderson wrapped them last night. They just uh, you know,
the early turnovers, and they tried to on fourth and
whatever to get you know, to heat the ball, and
he just couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Got down twenty one.

Speaker 14 (01:22:48):
Nothing to that team, and I guess they're up near
Columbus or I mean Cleveland, amon Is.

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
They got a heck of a team.

Speaker 14 (01:22:55):
And you know, I just wish one year that h
three or four teams from Cincinnati, two or three from
northern Kentucky and Indiana with East Central Lawrenceburg or somebody.
Milon got to the state semi finals this year, but they,
you know, East Central Lawrenceburg and Indiana usually make it
and try to win a title. So I don't know what,

(01:23:16):
I don't know, see what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
We'll have to see what happened. Yeah, sheriff just told me,
brought me a note. Olentangy Orange High School is named
Orange because it serves the historic Orange Township area.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
That's boring. Yeah, I thought I was gonna say serves
orange soda throughout the time.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
They listen. You learned something today, young man. There you go.

Speaker 14 (01:23:35):
Yeah, So, Ohio, that's you know, so good luck to
the bombers. Tight maybe they can bring one home city
and see what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
So you know, no, it wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
Surprise me though, if you had any Central elder you know,
Division two three, Ohio Kentucky, Indiana, it would not shot.
I don't think the stars need to align that much,
you know, because we got the best high school football
in the country in this region.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
I think, oh yeah, oh yeah without us.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
But that's the way it is.

Speaker 14 (01:24:02):
I mean, you know, hs A a's got us, got
to deal with Canton and I think they I think
they just renewed it like last year or something, so
they're gonna be up there. You know, they're not gonna
They're gonna be up there for a while. So I mean,
but uh, you know they used to. And in Kentucky
they play in Lexington at the Crow at Kroger Field

(01:24:22):
where UK plays, so that that's kind of right in
the middle. And in Indianapolis is the site they play
in the Hoosier Dome for the for the Indiana High
School Finals. That's a big deal and that place is
packed no matter who plays.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
Hey, let me let me ask you sag and off
the cuff or off the wall. Question is, do you
think that n I L like college sports has at
some point, will reach high school as well?

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
Well?

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Ohio, it already has. Ohio Ohio voted uh.

Speaker 14 (01:24:54):
The state school high school Principles voted it in as
the forty fifth state like last week.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Really you have a kid like Lebron James, he's a
phenom at sixteen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
Wow, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
About that, man.

Speaker 14 (01:25:07):
I'm waiting for uh like grade school t ball and
coach and coaches coach pitch. Uh, you know baseball and
and and soccer and all that stuff. Now to to
really get you know, like you know you got a
third grade kid, give him ten bucks or something to
get on your team, or like or a McDonald's hamburg

(01:25:31):
or something, or an ice cream.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
It sounds like it's out of control. It would be
interested in knowing what like a really good quarterback on
a high school team and get at it. I mean
that kid from Moler. I can't pronounce his name, that
kid because he probably wrecking them up. Everybody knows about it.
I don't know. And you kind of off handedly mentioned
saying the n C A a whatever help Miami had

(01:25:55):
Miami RedHawks had a had a quarterback a couple of
weeks ago quit on him and they paid him eight
hundred thousand dollars. What see that's crazy for he just
he just quit on him.

Speaker 14 (01:26:06):
He quit the team and now look at him they're
in the MAC Championship with another guy. And but that's
the way it is these days. I mean, you see
he's paying people. I think Brandon Sorosby's getting so much.
I mean college basketball players are doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
I don't know they just you know, in college.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
I get it. Yeah, you know it's high school.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
That's wild.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
I mean that's.

Speaker 14 (01:26:26):
Forty five states now, got it had no idea Ohio,
just Ohio just approved it, like oli what by a
couple of week a week and.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
A half, two weeks ago? Wow, and it was overwhelming. Well,
I'll tell you what I wish I could go back
to Parnell's Hardware and salor park owes me.

Speaker 4 (01:26:46):
Well.

Speaker 14 (01:26:46):
The thing of it is, too is like you know,
those kids get out there and now now it's like rampant. Yeah,
I mean now it's like you don't know where the
money's coming from. Who who's there's no regulation at all.
I mean there's you know, I mean it is the
you know, and a kid and a kid could come
you know if if if you don't have it here,

(01:27:06):
that kid's going to go to Indiana or someplace to play,
and they're gonna pay them.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
Yep.

Speaker 14 (01:27:11):
Get everybody have a great weekend, and we we leave
