Speaker 1 (00:00):
And just like that, it's summertime. Love it, love it
all right, good luck, Chuck, and uh, rest up, buddy.
He had a procedure done, as you know, he posted
on Facebook, so uh well it looks like a lot
of people saw it on there. So he'll be back
with us tomorrow, I believe. But uh, GOP strategist Bob

(00:21):
Clegg joining me in studio. Yeah, I was even saying, Bob,
I go, man, you look nice in summary. Well you
got the you got the summary, look going and man
it's nice.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh it's beautiful day night.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh yeah, geez, finally get some warm weather. And uh
did you notice that? Because I didn't the smog or
the smoke coming from Canada that's supposed to be hitting
us right now.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, I didn't. You know what, I haven't noticed that
yet either.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
In past years, it's been pretty you know, evident that
it's coming in. But yeah, I heard it was supposed to.
But I haven't really seen or smelled anything.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I haven't noticed anything at all. They were like, you
might notice like a campfire and type smell, and they
are like, no, not not yet. And right now it's
an unhealthy air alert for this area. And you know
Marshall will get more into that when we talk to
him live around a half an hour from now. But
the air quality right now would be the AQI, which

(01:21):
is the air Quality Index score was one twenty two
as of eight am this morning. This is according to
the place that does that. I don't have it right
in front of me. It's putting us in the unhealthy
for sensitive group range from one oh one to one fifty.
So the score was one twenty two, so not as bad,

(01:43):
not at the very end of the one fifty score,
but still kind of right in the middle. Still not healthy,
not healthy. No, I'll to be out there.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I really haven't noticed it.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
It doesn't doesn't seem humid or anything out The wind's
blowing though, and it's blown from the west, so maybe
we're we're starting to get some of that Canadian and stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, yeah, the last couple of days it has been
affecting us. Now, Marshall talked about it yesterday and the
day before, but it is so high up in the
atmosphere that it is. We've been able to dodge this,
the AQA, the Unhealthy Air Index, We've been able to
dodge that because it's high. It's so high up that
all it's really doing is creating a slight haze. And

(02:25):
we would be a few degrees warmer today, yesterday and
on Monday if had we not had Wow, because what
that has acted almost like a pair of sunglasses, if
you will, on the sun. And so the rays coming
are a little less, they're a little less intense because.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
It hasn't it dropped? What's holding it up?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah? I don't know. That'll be a good question for Marshall,
which you can ask him. Yeah, say so why yeah,
why did that not droop? Why didn't it there? I
don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe it's
the tariffs something along. We're not getting the full that
we could get based on that seems to be the

(03:04):
kind of the answer for anything Canadian related. As a
matter of fact, we had a Canadian who was around
the lead last week at Mirfield and I was making
the comment, I'm like, he's four under, but with the tariffs,
that makes him even.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I was like, I got we got to take shots
at him because how about during the hockey playoffs? Yeah,
they're oh, I know, That's why I was like, I
was taking shots at them or whatever. You had daughters,
And I think this is interesting and I'm glad you
brought it up that they're in Italy. You were just
in Italy. But last week you were on with Columbus's

(03:43):
morning news Mike Elliott, who is the guy here who
hosts a Columbus morning news and my boss too, but
program director. But you were on with him from Italy,
which I thought was really cool.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, that was kind of neat.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
I mean I didn't have to get up early in
the morning like I normally do when I do show,
because it was it was two ten in the afternoon
there see.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Ten here, Yeah it was eight ten hours ahead.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah we're six yeah, Ita least six hours ahead. So yeah,
that was great, you know good.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
They were a little concerned about the connection, you know,
phone connection, but.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It was okay. Yeah. So were you just able to
Were you sitting somewhere and like a little cafe.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, I was, I was sitting a little Yeah, I was.
I was. I was enjoying myself that afternoon, sitting.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Having a little drink, not a lot, and enjoying the
sun and the warm weather.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
There.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
The reason I asked that is because did you just
whip out your phone and just dial like right in here.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
They dialed right into me.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh they did.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, they dialed right into me. So that was no problem.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It rings funny when when you're calling from the US
and you're calling over there. It's got a funny ring
tone when it's ringing on your phone, on your phone
as you're calling there.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Oh okay, but but it doesn't affect the not like
the normal sound.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
No, it's a it's a weird sound, like a weird
it's a weird sound.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, I mean I get it.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I get it so that when I when I'm over there,
I can use my phone because I gotta I gotta work,
so I gotta do emails and everything off my phone.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
So did you guys have a were you there to
help send off Greta on Sunday? Where your daughter's part
of that?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
They would not be part of that, okay with you?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
The Port of Cantona, I believe that's how it's pronounced.
I'm probably saying it wrong.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Is that where they left from.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
That's where they a little it's a small little uh familiar,
it's well, where they left from is a small little
island that's like at the very it's probably like the
very southern edge of Italy, but it's a small island
in the Mediterranean is where they left from.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, they land you and I'm guessing it would be
tough to that sounds like an unbelievably beautiful looks like
a screensaver type place. How it's extra hard to leave
that area, I would think if you're somebody with a
normal brain, not twenty two year old Greta thunbirds.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Were following them as they were crossing the Mediterranean.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
They got something happened where that delayed them. I was
reading really something like that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
How dare you right?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
That's what she was saying to the people with the drones.
That meant they were like messing with their how dare
you Yeah? I don't know what she thinks she's going
to accomplish, but.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't either. That's a you know, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's got to be dreadful being on that boat. You
probably want to probably want to throw yourself over.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Travelers, I think we're all yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Know, they're all birds of a feather, so they're they're
united for I'm guessing there's no shower on that boat
either and it's a seven day cruise from what I
understand too. Wow, yeah, they're on the third or fourth
day yet, Yeah, seven days to get there, I know,
But I don't know. Maybe they do have some sort.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Of agility on that boat or something.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I don't know. I don't know exactly how it works.
All I know is that they they said it would.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Be seven days, seven days to get to Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
How about I. So I wanted to get your thoughts
on Elon Musk and everything that's going now, which so
each day that I read this, I try to read
between the lines or the tea leaves, if you will,
and and say, is this something that the mainstream media
is kind of embellishing here? Like what what are we

(07:51):
with regard to him and the things that he's saying?
What are we really seeing? What's really happening? And it
feels like to me that he legitimately is pissed about
this mammoth spending bill as he calls, and that it's
bankrupting America. And you know, this was all on X
and he wrote a graphic depicting rising national debt over

(08:14):
the past three decades. He put enough in all quotes.
He also responded with a one hundred percent emoji to
an ex user who wrote that, you know, Muskat reminded
everyone it's not about right versus left, it's about the
establishment versus the people. And then he posted an American
flag emoji under a post from the Babylon B and

(08:37):
that post read the Lord strengthens elon one last time
to push pillars of Congress over and bringing government crashing
down unquote. So he put an American flag by that.
We all know the Babylon B is a it's a parody,
ye site or whatever. And then yesterday he unleashed more

(08:59):
what they're hell fire on the big beautiful bill lambasting again.
These are their words, the flagship legislative package as outrageous,
pork filled and disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted
for it. You know you did wrong, you know it.
Then he goes on to type burden American citizens with

(09:21):
crushingly unsustainable debt. In November next year, we fire all
politicians who betrayed the American people. He goes on to right,
so this is not just a little you know, I'm
disturbed by this, or he made some kind of side
comment on his way out after his one hundred and
thirty days, you know, running Doge and all that. That's

(09:42):
a thing, that's a constitution thing. He's got to go
after one hundred and thirty days and not going to
be officially employed or what have you. And so he's
on his way out and there was like kind of
a so people were kind of speculating, is that the
end of the bromance? Then, I don't know if you
have any thoughts. You look almost like you're like hmm
about that. It's a bit puzzling.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, but if you look at what his job was, okay,
and his job was doze to you know, cut spending,
find the waste, find the abuse.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
All of that.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
However, if you look at the Big Beautiful Bill, none
of it had to do with cutting or taking those Doze.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Ideas and implementing him.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's a separate piece of legislation, right, So he really
doesn't there's no ownership there of the Big Beautiful Bill
as far as he's concerned. And he's doing that because
he sees what a problem the debt is going to
be to our country, and that bill that passed really
doesn't address much about the debt and that's part of

(10:47):
the process because you had to get.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
What two hundred and sixteen, two hundred and seventeen votes,
and the only way you can get to, you.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Know, cobble those votes together is to make sure that
everybody is on with whatever that piece of legislation ends
up being.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
So and it's run into a buzzsaw called the Senate
right now too, So you know, Ran Paul is leading
the charge with some of the conservatives going no, no, no, no,
no no.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
But the bottom line is we got to get something passed. Yeah,
I mean if we don't, then what do we do? Yeah,
I mean we've got to have a budget.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
So then I guess the next thing is to start
slicing and dicing it. I mean, they got to come
up with some sort of a of a compromise. I mean,
that's what this is all about, right, I.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Mean that's you know, the House version was the House
version was a compromise.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
But so that they get it out of the House, right,
but not enough apparently the Senate. So when the Senate
is going to slice and dice it, I mean, is
it going to come back newtered? I mean that's the
other part. And look, it's a what is it eleven,
it's something. Yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot
of pages. It's a big, beautiful bar, right, so I

(11:57):
wonder what And I clearly have not went through it,
but I know that there's some of it that and
I don't feel so bad because Marjorie Taylor Green is
complaining about a key provision in this that she said, well,
she didn't read. She goes on to say, I'm adamantly
opposed and would have voted no, and she cites pages

(12:18):
two seventy eight and two seventy nine removed states' rights
to regulate artificial intelligence for ten years, which is kind
of a head scratcher. Yeah, because she voted for the
bill and may now expresses concern about the potential dangers
of giving AI free reign. I don't think there's anyone
within the sound of our voices right now, Bob that
would say, oh, no, I think a we should trust that,

(12:38):
just give it a free reign. No, right, god, No,
I don't think anybody is okay with.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
But that tells you how these bills are put together. Yeah,
but stuff is in there that you don't even know about.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
This is a Trump production, which is kind of a
little bit. It's a head scratcher for me.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I mean for all those people that say the President
is just so hardcore and so immovable on things.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well not really. I mean on this bill.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
He understands he's got to get something, and he's not
willing to say, Okay, you.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Can't do this, this or this, or I'm not going
to support it.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
He just wants to get something through because the bottom
line is if we don't, are we going to let
the Democrats do it?

Speaker 2 (13:20):
For all the moaning and.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Groaning that Democrats are doing about the debt, now, what
did they do when they were in.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Charge right what two years ago? They did nothing?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
And if they get control of the House in twenty six,
they're going to increase spending.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
In their version of the budget. I mean, so it's
like it could be the way we do it or
the way they do it, and.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
It'll be spending for the crap that they like, the
Green new all of the stuff that we've been railing
against and going.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
No, I don't care how upset people are, the bottom
line on this it could be a lot worse, and
we got to just make sure we get something through
both the House and the Senate.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, what if Yeah, I I And again, Trump's not
going to put something out there right now that doesn't
have the teeth that he's looking for. Knowing that there's
going to be the Ran Pauls of the world, You're
going to go, we need to take some of the
teeth out of this. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I mean, he's he's not going to make everybody happy
for everything.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, but unfortunately, you know, he can only uh have
two or three people in either the House or the
Senate to you know, jump ship, and then after that
we can't get anything passed.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
House Speaker Mike Johnson fires back after Musk puts all
of this stuff in writing and he was just saying, look,
and quotes terribly wrong. Musk is terribly wrong on this,
and maybe to some of it he is, maybe some
of it he is not. But it is a little
bit confusing, and it sends some mixed messages if you're
somebody like me who was kind of, you know, following

(14:57):
along pretty closely. But then you go, uhh, do we
have Houston we have a problem here.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Well, I think a lot of this is Musk not
being aware of the process of how you pass a budget.
I think if he understood that a little better he
maybe wouldn't have done what he did.
