Speaker 1 (00:02):
Tony Dwight, so Leland Conways sitting in Hey Gus, is
John Shannon still around?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
He might be?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, John, I gotta ask you a question. Okay, shouldn't
the milk at the schools always be fresh?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It always was when I was in school.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I know, like it's it's like a oh, this week
the children will get fresh milk.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Instead of the spoiled stuff from last week.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I'm sitting in a trailer for a couple hours before
we all into the into the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Exactly do you remember when we used to have to
you got the if I remember when I was in
elementary school, missus brock Wilmore Elementary.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We we got the the white milk for free.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The chocolate milk was a quarter and I only got
a quarter for chocolate milk when I was a good boy.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
To this day, how often was that never? That's exactly
what I thought.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I would have to work hard all week to get
a quarter for Friday. Oh wow, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We had we had this jar with the quarters because
it costs, like I think for me to get the
school lunch when I was going in Texas was like
a buck twenty five and I'd always slide. Oh my god,
I'd always slide like an extra quarter out of there.
But I'm also old enough that the milk we got
wasn't in like those little bag things like they have
now that you've got to try to stab the straw too.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
We had the actual cartons. Yeah yeah, Now they have
like capri son milk. That's weird. So all right, all right,
appreciate it. It's the Tony Dwight jow Leland Conways sitting in.
I just thought that story was funny. I was like,
this week they'll have fresh milk.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
On the line now is my good friends State Senator
Aaron Reid, former Navy seal, longtime service to his country
and now service to his state of Kentucky from over
Nawadi area, my hometown.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
What's going on, Senator Reid? How are you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Hey? Are you doing Leland hard to believe?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Good brother? Yeah? Hey, I went well, miss you too.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I was excited to be able to see you this
summer when when you came out our way and we
got to have dinner together.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That was that was awesome, you and your beautiful wife.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And hopefully that won't we won't go that long between
seeing that to each other again. But I wanted to
bring you on to talk to talk about service, and
I think I think it's kind of interesting in the
backdrop of this national discussion that's being had right now
about flag burning. And I'm in my position on this
clear earlier. I'm a free speech absolutist. I don't like
(02:26):
flag burners. I want to punch them in the face.
I'd rather legalize punching them in the face. But yeah,
before before we get into the idea of public service,
because I think that's what's missing and why people are
doing that in the first place. What's your thoughts on
what President Trump said yesterday on that.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Man. You know, I'm a big, big supporter President Trump,
and I believe that, you know, service is the glue
that hold our nation together. You know, when when people
give their time, their sweat, and even their lives, they
understand that freedom isn't free. I mean, like just like
you know, for my friends in the military, you know,
all my book buddies. You know, when you serve, whether
(03:01):
it's in the military, in your church, or in your community,
you stop asking what's in it for me, and you
start asking what's best for the people around me, and
that's what builds patriotism.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, for real.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Why is because I was I was listening to podcast
the other day Senator Read and they were talking about
in other there are several other countries that are allies
of the United States where it's required that you go
into military service when you're of age, at least for
two years.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Israel is one of them.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
South Korea is another one. And yet we we have
a volunteer army, which yes, you know, the ultimate statement
of freedom is that we're not going to conscript you
into it. But are we are we missing something by
not requiring that of our young people?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know, it's it's important that we have a volunteer service.
But you know, when you when you serve, you have
skin in the game. You know, you you you work
with your buddies and you go to combat and you
go to you not only fight, but you act. You know,
you're on the front lines or you're working for a
common goal. Guys who working, you know, men and women
(04:09):
who serve in the military, they have skin in the game,
and it just builds the patriotism like no other Like Israel,
you know, like they they serve. Was it two years.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I believe, yeah, minimum men or women.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Men and women, that's right, you know. And you know,
one of the things that I did as a senator,
I kind of I developed this award called the Senator
read was it the h like a patriotic award that
I give to a high school students who graduate and
are joining the military. And it gives me a platform
to go speak at the school graduations and explain how
(04:45):
important it is that we serve. You know, my dad
always told me America's free because good men serve. And
I've got to just push that as hard as I can,
especially now with President Trump. We've got Pete Hagsitt there
and it's the best time in my lifetime. They've even
join the MIDI I feel like, you know, I want
to send my kids in because you know, before not
so much.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And I live in Colorado Springs and we have the
Air Force Academy here, and I've got some dear friends
you know from Kentucky who kind of you know, went
through a lot of the mestering COVID and the silliness
of the DEI stuff. And unfortunately, and my dad's an
Air Force veteran. I love the Air Force but unfortunately
they were one of the branches that probably got the
(05:26):
most into that woke silliness and a lot of that
stuff actually centered right here in Colorado Springs with some
of the administration.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
And it's sad to see.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But it's interesting that you mentioned because the moment that
Trump was reelected and Pete Hegseth was installed, a lot
of that stuff changed and a lot of that sort
of rot at the top kind of got pushed out,
and the demeanor has changed.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And you can.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
See because you know, Colorada Springs is a huge military town.
We got like seven military bases within ten miles of
the city and some pretty important installations here, and you
can see the demeanor of the men and women because
I see them all over.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean they're all over Colorado.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Springs, so probably half the town is military, and you
can see their demeanor change for the positive when it
was almost like a weight was lifted off their back,
you know, when when a new administration came in and
said we're going to do this differently.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah, I think it's cool to be patriotic again. If
you've noticed, you know, people like young people especially are
kind of coming back around and they've they've realized that
woke is just ridiculous, you know, just like Pete Hexits
that said, there's no we're not doing dudes in dresses anymore.
We're done with that crap, you know. And you might
not use the word crap, but I love that because
(06:40):
we're finally coming back around. We're not playing mister Rogers
neighborhood anymore. Make believe we're actually doing what's right.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you think though, do you think though, that the
true patriotism is when you muster some service when it
isn't cool to.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Be patriotic, Because I think about I was listening to.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What's his name, Dick Thompson, who is a famous, very
well decorated special ops guy from from Vietnam. I was
listening to a podcasts with him and Sean Ryan the
other day and I was fast. It was a four
hour conversation and he's just talking about all the crap
that he did in Vietnam, and I was like, wow,
you know, I think I have a hard day. This
guy's describing this stuff. But he was talking about when
(07:21):
he came back from Vietnam, you know, he wasn't welcome home,
and then you know, he went into his military career,
and he was like, yeah, all the way through the
seventies and even the eighties, it even into the early nineties,
it wasn't necessarily considered cool like it is after nine
to eleven to go into the military. And so it
kind of made me think, I like paused me for
(07:42):
a second, because I've always my family, you know, my
dad was Air Force and I've always had a great
reverence for those who've served. But my family's always been patriotic,
and I'm like, wait a minute, There's there's a lot
of people that just didn't care one way or the other.
Through the eighties and nineties. It really only became a
huge thing to say thank you for your service after
two thousand and one.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Those are the real patriots.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
The guys who got in the trenches and did the
dirty things when nobody cared.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Those are the real patriots.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean those guys really they did well. I mean
they they came home and they had they had to
deal with the nonsense going on with the political fallout,
especially in Vietnam. I mean, Bill, tell those guys today,
you know, welcome home, and they appreciate it still because
they did not get a good welcome, you know, like
like I did, I came back from Afghanistan or Iraq.
(08:31):
You know, we came back, you know as heroes, and
those guys came back as you know, they call them
baby killers and all kinds of other nonsense.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah. Yeah, he talked about that.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
He was like, you know, he talked about getting off
the plane and former Kentucky adjust to General Donald Storm.
Amazing guy, amazing patriot. He and I've had long conversations
about what it was like to come home from Vietnam
and not be welcome. He told me a story one
time that his parents picked him up the airport and
they put him in the car. He never or even went,
(09:00):
you know, through because they didn't they wanted did. He
didn't need to go through that, you know, coming back.
It's it's insane to think about, you know, because I mean,
I've grown up in the world, I guess, you know,
since two thousand and one that everybody was, you know,
correctly patriotic. But then now we're seeing this this trend.
You mentioned that it's kind of gotten cool again. But
(09:21):
up until twenty twenty four, there was a real in
vogue thing for younger people to hate America. I mean
we see that with Antifa and some of the other
stuff that's been going on too. So it's a constant battle,
isn't it to keep patriotism alive?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah? I feel like it is. You know, we have
to keep talking about it. We have to keep waving
the flag. You know. Patriotism isn't it. It's not about
hate and other nations. It's about loving your own enough
to defend it, to preserve it. And the big thing
is that we pass it on stronger to our next generation.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
How how is your time as a Navy seal, which
you and I have had conversations about over the years,
how does it shape the way you lead now as
a state senator?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Well, you know, feels are trained for chaos, you know,
and pressure, and there's politics.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What are you talking about? There's no.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
You know, we don't really, we don't really rise to
the occasion. You know, we sink back the level of
our training. And that applies in politics too.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Respect in the teams it was earned, it wasn't really,
you know, it was never given. And the Senate is
kind of the same way.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I feel like there's three types of folks in the Senate.
We've got we've got leaders, we've got followers, and we've
got soloists. You know. When I say the Senate also,
I mean in the General Assembly as a whole. You know,
you can maneuver a sealed platunity through a firefight. You know,
you can maneuver a committee, you know, through some tough legislation,
which that's uh, that's my first session was was interesting.
(10:49):
You had a lot of a lot of lessons learned,
and looking forward to the twenty sixth session for sure.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I I well, it's nice to see, you know, can
servative governance. I want my fellow Kentuckians to come to
their senses and pick a decent governor next time. But
you know, we'll get to that. What's he like to
work with though? Has he moderated any since he was
sending state police after people going to church during COVID.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
No, we don't see around much.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It's kind of just down a like a permanent vacation
up there.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, especially, you know,
I jokingly call myself a missionary to the West coast
with a show in San Diego and living in Colorado,
which is basically California East. And I love to do
my part to dispel the wrong and erroneous misconceptions about
(11:45):
Kentucky because you know, I'm always talking about I'm like,
you know, people like to make little funny jokes about it,
and I'm like, no, we actually do wear shoes, and
we always have. And there's some pretty damn cool things
going on in my home state, you know. But there's
there's also it's been some cool stuff happening in the
economy and the economic front and the manufacturing front. There's
a lot of creative stuff coming out of our state.
(12:07):
What makes Kentucky special in the landscape of America right
now from your perspective.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
You know, on the we've got General Electric, you know,
infusion three billion dollars into Louisville area. We're gonna bring
washers and dryers back in China, They're going to produce
them right here in Kentucky. You know, We've got we've
got the Gorilla glass over in the in Harrysburg area there,
they're gonna be what two point five billion dollars of
apple infused into that economy there.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I saw that story the other day.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I was like, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Man, they're gonna make Apple screens at Kentucky. I love it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah, that's legit. But you know, Kentucky's the state rooted
in faith, family, and freedom, you know, and we're a
model of resilience and patriotism. You know, if if America
remember is what Kentucky still practices, all right, hard work,
respect for God, and love of country, than our nation's
best days are ahead of us.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And an ability to elect an all Republican legislature and
the democratic governor.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Right, I mean we can work together a little.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Bit pretty close. Yeah, yeah, super majority.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That makes a
lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
What are you most excited about that that's coming for
Kentucky in the next three or four years?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Oh? Man, you know, we've got President Trump in d C.
Leading the charge, and here in Kentucky we're really, uh,
we're really pushing the envelope on the republican and conservative
legislation of all types. I'm looking forward to twenty twenty
six for sure. You know, things like just you know,
bringing driver's licenses back to the counties.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
One of the I did you know I'm working on
is allowing the state troopers to be able to do
off duty work. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I talked about that. Yeah, you and I talked about
that when you were out here. And I'm still banging
my head against a while, like why can't state troopers
pick up an extra gig doing something that keeps the
unity safe?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That makes no sense to me.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Oh, I know, I mean we got they're the most
regal and uh, you know agency in our state. They're
trained extremely well. Right, But you know, my dad was
a trooper, so I understand the you know, the mystical
you know, the uniform. You know, it's like a lot
of guys they joined they'll become a trooper because that
uniform is far the like like the Marine Corps, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Plus plus the trooper cars are the best in the country.
And I see a lot of those cars in the
different states I travel to.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Kentucky. State troopers cars are the best.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, yeah, you're not lying there. They look awesome. They
they've done a good job at uh putting those out.
They look great.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
And there I see those on I sixty four. I
ain't speeding.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Oh yeah, yeah, you see that got pretty good slow down.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, do you think we'll get that pass where the
troopers can do that.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
You know what. I've been working with the uh, the
Commissioner on this, and it looks like we're gonna get
together and uh and find a way to make this work.
I'm very hopeful and uh, you know, nothing's one hundred
percent locked because, as you know, you have to you
have to uh. It's more than just having a good idea.
You have to talk to your colleagues into thinking it's
(15:12):
a great idea. So right right, you know, I'm I'm
hopeful on it. I think we'll get it done, especially
with the support of the Commissioner and his staff, which
we have been talking and it's looking good.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So awesome.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Good to hear that.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Well, listen, I gotta run.

but to the state. Love you, brother, Stay in there,

This was the six on this week a particular year.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Mm hm, Turtles on a fish Post by the Trailer
Park Girls.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That would be incorrect.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
No, I'd walk five thousand miles.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
There you go from the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
But is that that in the song?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yes, No, I'll just let John be the expert of that. Wait,

see we're in the nineties now, I'm a little bit
I want to.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Say late eighties, maybe maybe nineteen ninety right now?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Is this a movie or something? What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
With Johnny Depp?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I never saw it.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I never saw it either beyond me.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But after I walk five hundred miles, i'd be very tired.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I would too.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
All I ever had to road march in the Army
was twenty, so five hundred would be a stretch.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
A stretch.

Okay, all right, so that helps you out.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Wait wait, wait, wait, we need do we need to

Speaker 3 (19:35):
We'll get it.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Oh, you're all in the same year. Just take your
first guess right here, what do you think it is?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
You're you're you've improved since yesterday. It's it's it's better.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I told you. I did my research.

No, I was like anything before the nineties, have no
idea here we go it's chorus.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
This is a good song. You can let coming back.
I think my mom used to describe me as this. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Well, you know, this video got a lot of awards
because it featured uh, it dealt with runaways and that's lost.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
The lost in.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Lost, I knew it was missing of a campaign in

dance with the basketball star.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
This is the song, and I don't remember the freaking title.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Is this poisoned Man? It is not? I figured is
it lighter? Brown, No, I didn't. I actually don't know
this song. And I thought I knew all this.
Speaker 3 (22:09):

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I just remember I can see her right now dancing
with the freaking basketball stars.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
So did you like, go and rough anybody up over that?
You know, go get the basketball stars against the wall?

She was my girlfriend, so there you go, and then
(27:38):
I got to break up with her. So but yeah,
never take your girlfriend to a in the nineties. It
wasn't a good idea to take them to a boys
to Mind concert. Not a good idea at all. They
didn't paying attention to you. They were all into that.
So all right, we'll continue. Jason Nemis Rep. Jason Nemas
is gonna join us up at the top of the hour.

left me. She asked me to go to prom. Gus,
she asked me, She called and asked me, and I
had a crush on her, And I was like, the
girl I have a crush on is asking me to

Speaker 3 (28:45):
And I actually made the basketball team after that.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Oh, so now you're the star.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well I was the star bench player. How much time
do we have because I got a funny story.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
But we got got a few seconds, about thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Maybe I'll tell this story before we talked to Jason
Nemas at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I just want to know any story about what did
you play for her when you broke up with her?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I hate myself for loving.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I didn't play a song.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I just called and said, uh, called two thousand miles
away at college.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
We're done.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Here's a quarter called someone.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
There's a quarter call somebody who cares.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I love you, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
We're still friends. It's all good, it's all good, all right.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Jason Nemas is gonna join us at the top of
the next hour. Leland Conway and for Tony and Dwight
News Radio eight forty WJS.
Tony Dwight, so Leland Conways sitting in Hey Gus, is
John Shannon still around?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
He might be?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, John, I gotta ask you a question. Okay, shouldn't
the milk at the schools always be fresh?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It always was when I was in school.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I know, like it's it's like a oh, this week
the children will get fresh milk.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Instead of the spoiled stuff from last week.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I'm sitting in a trailer for a couple hours before
we all into the into the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Exactly do you remember when we used to have to
you got the if I remember when I was in
elementary school, missus brock Wilmore Elementary.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We we got the the white milk for free.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
The chocolate milk was a quarter and I only got
a quarter for chocolate milk when I was a good boy.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
To this day, how often was that never? That's exactly
what I thought.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I would have to work hard all week to get
a quarter for Friday. Oh wow, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We had we had this jar with the quarters because
it costs, like I think for me to get the
school lunch when I was going in Texas was like
a buck twenty five and I'd always slide. Oh my god,
I'd always slide like an extra quarter out of there.
But I'm also old enough that the milk we got
wasn't in like those little bag things like they have
now that you've got to try to stab the straw too.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
We had the actual cartons. Yeah yeah, Now they have
like capri son milk. That's weird. So all right, all right,
appreciate it. It's the Tony Dwight jow Leland Conways sitting in.
I just thought that story was funny. I was like,
this week they'll have fresh milk.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
On the line now is my good friends State Senator
Aaron Reid, former Navy seal, longtime service to his country
and now service to his state of Kentucky from over
Nawadi area, my hometown.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
What's going on, Senator Reid? How are you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Hey? Are you doing Leland hard to believe?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Good brother? Yeah? Hey, I went well, miss you too.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I was excited to be able to see you this
summer when when you came out our way and we
got to have dinner together.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That was that was awesome, you and your beautiful wife.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And hopefully that won't we won't go that long between
seeing that to each other again. But I wanted to
bring you on to talk to talk about service, and
I think I think it's kind of interesting in the
backdrop of this national discussion that's being had right now
about flag burning. And I'm in my position on this
clear earlier. I'm a free speech absolutist. I don't like
(02:26):
flag burners. I want to punch them in the face.
I'd rather legalize punching them in the face. But yeah,
before before we get into the idea of public service,
because I think that's what's missing and why people are
doing that in the first place. What's your thoughts on
what President Trump said yesterday on that.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Man. You know, I'm a big, big supporter President Trump,
and I believe that, you know, service is the glue
that hold our nation together. You know, when when people
give their time, their sweat, and even their lives, they
understand that freedom isn't free. I mean, like just like
you know, for my friends in the military, you know,
all my book buddies. You know, when you serve, whether
(03:01):
it's in the military, in your church, or in your community,
you stop asking what's in it for me, and you
start asking what's best for the people around me, and
that's what builds patriotism.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, for real.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Why is because I was I was listening to podcast
the other day Senator Read and they were talking about
in other there are several other countries that are allies
of the United States where it's required that you go
into military service when you're of age, at least for
two years.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Israel is one of them.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
South Korea is another one. And yet we we have
a volunteer army, which yes, you know, the ultimate statement
of freedom is that we're not going to conscript you
into it. But are we are we missing something by
not requiring that of our young people?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know, it's it's important that we have a volunteer service.
But you know, when you when you serve, you have
skin in the game. You know, you you you work
with your buddies and you go to combat and you
go to you not only fight, but you act. You know,
you're on the front lines or you're working for a
common goal. Guys who working, you know, men and women
(04:09):
who serve in the military, they have skin in the game,
and it just builds the patriotism like no other Like Israel,
you know, like they they serve. Was it two years.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I believe, yeah, minimum men or women.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Men and women, that's right, you know. And you know,
one of the things that I did as a senator,
I kind of I developed this award called the Senator
read was it the h like a patriotic award that
I give to a high school students who graduate and
are joining the military. And it gives me a platform
to go speak at the school graduations and explain how
(04:45):
important it is that we serve. You know, my dad
always told me America's free because good men serve. And
I've got to just push that as hard as I can,
especially now with President Trump. We've got Pete Hagsitt there
and it's the best time in my lifetime. They've even
join the MIDI I feel like, you know, I want
to send my kids in because you know, before not
so much.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And I live in Colorado Springs and we have the
Air Force Academy here, and I've got some dear friends
you know from Kentucky who kind of you know, went
through a lot of the mestering COVID and the silliness
of the DEI stuff. And unfortunately, and my dad's an
Air Force veteran. I love the Air Force but unfortunately
they were one of the branches that probably got the
(05:26):
most into that woke silliness and a lot of that
stuff actually centered right here in Colorado Springs with some
of the administration.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
And it's sad to see.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But it's interesting that you mentioned because the moment that
Trump was reelected and Pete Hegseth was installed, a lot
of that stuff changed and a lot of that sort
of rot at the top kind of got pushed out,
and the demeanor has changed.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And you can.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
See because you know, Colorada Springs is a huge military town.
We got like seven military bases within ten miles of
the city and some pretty important installations here, and you
can see the demeanor of the men and women because
I see them all over.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean they're all over Colorado.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Springs, so probably half the town is military, and you
can see their demeanor change for the positive when it
was almost like a weight was lifted off their back,
you know, when when a new administration came in and
said we're going to do this differently.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah, I think it's cool to be patriotic again. If
you've noticed, you know, people like young people especially are
kind of coming back around and they've they've realized that
woke is just ridiculous, you know, just like Pete Hexits
that said, there's no we're not doing dudes in dresses anymore.
We're done with that crap, you know. And you might
not use the word crap, but I love that because
(06:40):
we're finally coming back around. We're not playing mister Rogers
neighborhood anymore. Make believe we're actually doing what's right.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you think though, do you think though, that the
true patriotism is when you muster some service when it
isn't cool to.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Be patriotic, Because I think about I was listening to.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What's his name, Dick Thompson, who is a famous, very
well decorated special ops guy from from Vietnam. I was
listening to a podcasts with him and Sean Ryan the
other day and I was fast. It was a four
hour conversation and he's just talking about all the crap
that he did in Vietnam, and I was like, wow,
you know, I think I have a hard day. This
guy's describing this stuff. But he was talking about when
(07:21):
he came back from Vietnam, you know, he wasn't welcome home,
and then you know, he went into his military career,
and he was like, yeah, all the way through the
seventies and even the eighties, it even into the early nineties,
it wasn't necessarily considered cool like it is after nine
to eleven to go into the military. And so it
kind of made me think, I like paused me for
(07:42):
a second, because I've always my family, you know, my
dad was Air Force and I've always had a great
reverence for those who've served. But my family's always been patriotic,
and I'm like, wait a minute, There's there's a lot
of people that just didn't care one way or the other.
Through the eighties and nineties. It really only became a
huge thing to say thank you for your service after
two thousand and one.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Those are the real patriots.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
The guys who got in the trenches and did the
dirty things when nobody cared.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Those are the real patriots.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean those guys really they did well. I mean
they they came home and they had they had to
deal with the nonsense going on with the political fallout,
especially in Vietnam. I mean, Bill, tell those guys today,
you know, welcome home, and they appreciate it still because
they did not get a good welcome, you know, like
like I did, I came back from Afghanistan or Iraq.
(08:31):
You know, we came back, you know as heroes, and
those guys came back as you know, they call them
baby killers and all kinds of other nonsense.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah. Yeah, he talked about that.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
He was like, you know, he talked about getting off
the plane and former Kentucky adjust to General Donald Storm.
Amazing guy, amazing patriot. He and I've had long conversations
about what it was like to come home from Vietnam
and not be welcome. He told me a story one
time that his parents picked him up the airport and
they put him in the car. He never or even went,
(09:00):
you know, through because they didn't they wanted did. He
didn't need to go through that, you know, coming back.
It's it's insane to think about, you know, because I mean,
I've grown up in the world, I guess, you know,
since two thousand and one that everybody was, you know,
correctly patriotic. But then now we're seeing this this trend.
You mentioned that it's kind of gotten cool again. But
(09:21):
up until twenty twenty four, there was a real in
vogue thing for younger people to hate America. I mean
we see that with Antifa and some of the other
stuff that's been going on too. So it's a constant battle,
isn't it to keep patriotism alive?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah? I feel like it is. You know, we have
to keep talking about it. We have to keep waving
the flag. You know. Patriotism isn't it. It's not about
hate and other nations. It's about loving your own enough
to defend it, to preserve it. And the big thing
is that we pass it on stronger to our next generation.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
How how is your time as a Navy seal, which
you and I have had conversations about over the years,
how does it shape the way you lead now as
a state senator?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Well, you know, feels are trained for chaos, you know,
and pressure, and there's politics.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What are you talking about? There's no.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
You know, we don't really, we don't really rise to
the occasion. You know, we sink back the level of
our training. And that applies in politics too.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Respect in the teams it was earned, it wasn't really,
you know, it was never given. And the Senate is
kind of the same way.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
I feel like there's three types of folks in the Senate.
We've got we've got leaders, we've got followers, and we've
got soloists. You know. When I say the Senate also,
I mean in the General Assembly as a whole. You know,
you can maneuver a sealed platunity through a firefight. You know,
you can maneuver a committee, you know, through some tough legislation,
which that's uh, that's my first session was was interesting.
(10:49):
You had a lot of a lot of lessons learned,
and looking forward to the twenty sixth session for sure.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I I well, it's nice to see, you know, can
servative governance. I want my fellow Kentuckians to come to
their senses and pick a decent governor next time. But
you know, we'll get to that. What's he like to
work with though? Has he moderated any since he was
sending state police after people going to church during COVID.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
No, we don't see around much.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It's kind of just down a like a permanent vacation
up there.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, especially, you know,
I jokingly call myself a missionary to the West coast
with a show in San Diego and living in Colorado,
which is basically California East. And I love to do
my part to dispel the wrong and erroneous misconceptions about
(11:45):
Kentucky because you know, I'm always talking about I'm like,
you know, people like to make little funny jokes about it,
and I'm like, no, we actually do wear shoes, and
we always have. And there's some pretty damn cool things
going on in my home state, you know. But there's
there's also it's been some cool stuff happening in the
economy and the economic front and the manufacturing front. There's
a lot of creative stuff coming out of our state.
(12:07):
What makes Kentucky special in the landscape of America right
now from your perspective.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
You know, on the we've got General Electric, you know,
infusion three billion dollars into Louisville area. We're gonna bring
washers and dryers back in China, They're going to produce
them right here in Kentucky. You know, We've got we've
got the Gorilla glass over in the in Harrysburg area there,
they're gonna be what two point five billion dollars of
apple infused into that economy there.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I saw that story the other day.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I was like, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Man, they're gonna make Apple screens at Kentucky. I love it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah, that's legit. But you know, Kentucky's the state rooted
in faith, family, and freedom, you know, and we're a
model of resilience and patriotism. You know, if if America
remember is what Kentucky still practices, all right, hard work,
respect for God, and love of country, than our nation's
best days are ahead of us.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And an ability to elect an all Republican legislature and
the democratic governor.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Right, I mean we can work together a little.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Bit pretty close. Yeah, yeah, super majority.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That makes a
lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
What are you most excited about that that's coming for
Kentucky in the next three or four years?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Oh? Man, you know, we've got President Trump in d C.
Leading the charge, and here in Kentucky we're really, uh,
we're really pushing the envelope on the republican and conservative
legislation of all types. I'm looking forward to twenty twenty
six for sure. You know, things like just you know,
bringing driver's licenses back to the counties.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
One of the I did you know I'm working on
is allowing the state troopers to be able to do
off duty work. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I talked about that. Yeah, you and I talked about
that when you were out here. And I'm still banging
my head against a while, like why can't state troopers
pick up an extra gig doing something that keeps the
unity safe?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That makes no sense to me.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Oh, I know, I mean we got they're the most
regal and uh, you know agency in our state. They're
trained extremely well. Right, But you know, my dad was
a trooper, so I understand the you know, the mystical
you know, the uniform. You know, it's like a lot
of guys they joined they'll become a trooper because that
uniform is far the like like the Marine Corps, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Plus plus the trooper cars are the best in the country.
And I see a lot of those cars in the
different states I travel to.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Kentucky. State troopers cars are the best.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, yeah, you're not lying there. They look awesome. They
they've done a good job at uh putting those out.
They look great.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
And there I see those on I sixty four. I
ain't speeding.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Oh yeah, yeah, you see that got pretty good slow down.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, do you think we'll get that pass where the
troopers can do that.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
You know what. I've been working with the uh, the
Commissioner on this, and it looks like we're gonna get
together and uh and find a way to make this work.
I'm very hopeful and uh, you know, nothing's one hundred
percent locked because, as you know, you have to you
have to uh. It's more than just having a good idea.
You have to talk to your colleagues into thinking it's
(15:12):
a great idea. So right right, you know, I'm I'm
hopeful on it. I think we'll get it done, especially
with the support of the Commissioner and his staff, which
we have been talking and it's looking good.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So awesome.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Good to hear that.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
