Speaker 1 (00:06):
All right, we're off and we're running on this Tuesday
after Christmas, the Tuesday before New Year's Day. We're kind
of like in the middle right now. You know, I imagine
a lot of the Christmas decorations are coming down, but
imagine a lot of people are looking forward to New
Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the start of twenty twenty six.
We have been promised by a number of different experts

(00:28):
in a number of different fields, the twenty twenty six
is going to be a robust year for the United States,
not just for the economy in general, but for you
and for me. And yet we see you all over
the place polling that pops up that say the average
people walking around on the street, like me, the average American, who,
by the way, is in for the great American today,

(00:49):
a lot of people walking around the street saying, you
know what, I just don't feel like I'm better off
now than I was a year ago. I just feel
like my finances aren't all that good. And perception often
is reality in life, is it not? And the perception
really here is not necessarily reflective of where we are
as an economy. But you get into twenty twenty six

(01:11):
and tax cuts take effect, you get into twenty twenty six,
and the one big beautiful Now law takes effect, and
things like tax on pips will go away, And so
the food service industry, as an example, should blossom, particularly
those who want to work in the food service industry
that may not find that a very appealing job to

(01:34):
have right now. But as you get closer to the
one year anniversary of Donald Trumps taking office, which will
occur of course, next month on the twentieth, you find
that he is closer than ever in making good on
many of his top campaign promises, but in terms of
uniting the nation, not so much. But uniting the nation
has always been a difficult hurdle for any president because now,

(01:58):
particularly since the election of twenty eight between now President
Barack OBAA Obama and then Senator John McCain, it was
so contentious, it was almost an election that was based
on pulling the nation apart, and we have been that
way ever since. Social media has not helped. The yelling

(02:21):
voices on cable TV have not helped. So I'm not
sure bringing a country together is a pledge any politician
can make and then deliver on. Let's bring into the
conversation someone who studies presidents for a living and has
for a very long time. He's one of the great
voices in American politics from a historical perspective. It's written

(02:46):
one of the great books on presidential and presidential politics.
And I thought, here, as we approached the end of
twenty twenty five, it might be a good day to
get on our good friend, doctor Frank Sorentino. Doctor, how
are you on this glorious day?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Doing great?

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Happy new year, Ken, happy with you.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yes, sir, Happy new year, right back at you.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
And when Donald Trump said a message of unity, is
is what he wanted to deliver, I don't think it
was a realistic promise, do you? And in the environment
in which we live in this day and age, no.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
I think sometimes he raises expectations beyond what is capable,
what he is capable of, and what any president would
be capable of. In this circumstance, you mentioned social media,
You mentioned even mainstream media, which clearly was opposed to

(03:44):
the tariffs, almost described the recession or depression, trade wars,
the catastrophe beyond anything. And while certainly it did not happen,
people have been primed to think a certain way, and
I think that has harmed him because I think he

(04:07):
raises expectations beyond what he or anyone could deliver.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I no, I agree one hundred I agree one hundred percent.
The mainstream media is a joke. ABC News, NBC News.
It's a joke. They don't want him to succeed. And
so if you accept that as their premise, then you
can go ahead and watch them and understand what they are.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
They simply don't.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Everything from their coverage of him through the last campaign,
their coverage of him when he was out of office
for four years, and their coverage of him since he's
been in office, would lead you to believe that the
organizations that I just mentioned that are populated greatly by liberals,
we know what their voting record is. I mean, it's
out there if anybody wants to see it. The fact

(04:52):
of the matter is they didn't want him to succeed.
There are a number of cable channels that don't want
him to succeed. There are a number of newspapers that
don't want him to succeed, so that when he does
have successes, it's buried in an avalanche of other things
that would detract from the guy. And it's embarrassing to me. Doctor,
I don't expect you to know this. I spent forty
five years in broadcast television journalism, and it's embarrassing to

(05:16):
see what it's become right now, that it's become so
polarized and sometimes so far from the truth that I
just wonder, is there anybody that is listening to them
above them? And if they are, are they being encouraged
by the people that run these companies, you know, the
people that run the NBC News Is, the ABC News

(05:37):
is of the world, like Disney, does anybody does anybody
actually know what they're saying, care about what they're saying
or is it all bottom line driven and that's the
kind of thing that drives money to the bottom line.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well, I think there's confirmation bias.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
There are a lot of people who we talk about
Trump the arrangement syndrome, but that people who desire to
hate him and feed off of information that is negative
that reinforces their own beliefs and how wise they are.
And that's also on the right as well, But I
think it's particularly menacing on the left. And I think

(06:16):
it's also menacing from a global elite point of view,
where much of his agenda is a threat to many
people who see the dismantling of American industry and the
globalization of money, capital production, and other places that are cheaper.

(06:38):
This is a terrible thing for them, and they have
promoted that, and in many instances they are the principal
backers of those media entities which promote that agenda and
promote the narrative that everything is going to pieces.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Well, I mean, you know, they're all putting out their
report cards, quote unquote report cards on Donald Trump. And
I saw this on Politico, which is basically a place
where the left goes for their talking points. You have
to understand that when you read anything on Politico. But nevertheless,
this is a quote from the very top of their article.
Most voters give Trump a failing grade for his first
year as president then, and he thinks he deserves an AARB.

(07:20):
That's according to a new Political Morning Console poll that
was conducted in early December. Trump's best marks come on
the economy, jobs, and fighting terrorism, but he gets poor
marks for his handling of health care, the national debt,
and foreign relations. Now, doctor, do you think most people
go home at night and worry about the national debt
and foreign relations. They may worry about healthcare, and shame

(07:42):
on the GOP as a party for not having an
alternative until about a month ago to what Obamacare is.
I mean, shame on that party for never really having
a plan until a month ago. But do you think
anybody's going home and wringing their hands over the national
debt and foreign relations where allegedly he gets poor Marx. No,
they're going home and talking about the economy, whether their

(08:04):
job is safe, if they're making enough money, and whether
or not there's going to be a missile hurled in
here from someplace like China or Iran. I think that's
what people are most concerned about, don't you.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah, you know, foreign policy is very important, but it's
not the locus of concerns for most Americans. They are
basically disengaged with most foreign policy and may have actually
hurt Trump his successes because it looked like he was
focusing more on foreign policy in his first year, aside

(08:38):
from the Big Beautiful Bill and immigration corrections I think
from the Biden administration. But these are the narratives that
help those individuals who were posed to his policies can
focus on and have this confirmation by it up a
lot of people that the economy is in desperate situation.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
It is not.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
In fact, it's actually pretty good, except for maybe unemployment,
but that may be more of a functioning of AI
and the functioning of the really establishment of supply lines
and the delay that it would take because things don't
turn around overnight.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
So I think the big beautiful law, as.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
You indicated earlier, the foreign investment that may be exaggerated
but still real even if half of it is materialized,
These are going to have profound effects on the American
economy and the well being of Americans, and I think
they will see those things as they materialize in their

(09:50):
own lives.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, you know, let's talk about just foreign policy for
a second. You know, he's blowing up drug boats coming
out of Venezuela. He's got Venezuela at this point blockaded. Venezuela,
as we know, historically, has taken the oil companies that
were down there pumping oil out of the ground. They
put the infrastructure down there. They've either left or their

(10:13):
infrastructure has been seized and they've been run out. I
think Trump wants oil down there. He's got that on
his plate. He has what's going on in Russia and Ukraine.
I'm not sure that that thing is solvable in the
next three and a half or three years that he
has in office, but he did for all intents and purposes,
and what was going on between Iran and Hamas and

(10:36):
Israel now is festering up again. And he's got his
eye on the ball. And he's also got China at
Bay to a degree. He doesn't have a real he
doesn't have a tariff deal done with them yet, but
he's got them at Bay point.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Being he's he's.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Strong when it comes to international and politics and foreign affairs.
The last man that was in office was a weak man.
He was weak physically, he was weak mentally, and he
came off that way and the United States got played
for a sucker in Afghanistan. And because of that, what
happened with regards to Ukraine and Russia, the invasion of

(11:12):
Ukraine would never have happened if Donald Trump was in office,
or if Joe Biden just played Afghanistan differently. But he
just opened the door to the kind of president he
would be, which was a guy who was weak internationally.
And so I think Trump should get some sort of
high marks for what he's doing internationally. And when I
see again, I hate to go back to this political

(11:34):
poll because it's again it is skewed heavily to the left,
as is their publication. He gets bad marks for foreign relations.
My god, compare that to what we had between January
twenty twenty one and January twenty twenty five, and you
tell me what's bad and what's not. I don't think
he's getting a fair shake there.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
To you.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Did we lose doctor Soarrentino there? Russ Jackson, did he
pop away? I'm want to dial him back up. So
I wanted to hear what he had to say there.
So let's see if we can't reconnect with doctor Sorrentino
who was on the cell, and maybe he just sell
just dropped out, you know what happens sometimes. But I mean,
if you look at what happened in Afghanistan and you

(12:18):
look again what happened in the wake of that with
Ukraine and Russia, I don't see how anybody could turn
around and say, yeah, you know, foreign relations were much
better when Joe Biden was in office. I think anybody
would be crazy enough to say something like that. Well,
we'll try and reconnect with Sorentino and we'll take a
break here and when we came back, hopefully more with

(12:39):
doctor Sorentino on seven hundred. Oh wait a minute now,
all right, now, Russ Jackson has come alive and he
says that we have doctor Sorentino back on the horn. Doctor,
I think we dropped out a little bit.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
We did.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
I don't know what happened, but I'm back.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I don't know if you heard my question to you.
My question is those that think that Trump is doing
bad from a foreign relations statepoint, please compare that to
what was in charge from January twenty twenty one to
January twenty twenty five. It was a weak man both
physically and from an international governance, and we saw what
we saw. I don't know how anybody could say that

(13:15):
Trump gets bad marks on foreign relations. He's ended wars
and trying his best to stop what's going on in
Russia Ukraine.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
How do again?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
I guess maybe this is just a poll that is
is skewed hard left because it's a hard left publication.
But I can't comparing to Biden and you're going to
say he gets bad marks on foreign relations.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
That's crazy, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, these are push polls, you know, it's all in
what is their sample. They make certain assumptions, and usually
they have a skewed plus ten percent democrat or liberal,
or they tried to put certain demographics in and extrapolate

(13:58):
from there.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Most of the polls that were used during.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
The election were off, and there were a few polls
that were far more accurate. So I think these are
propaganda and very much part of the agenda of those
who disagree with him. Now, it doesn't mean that there's
not some dissatisfaction, and that dissatisfaction I think exists mostly

(14:26):
in terms that he said once again he was going
to bring prices down, and what most economists I think
believe is you could slow the rate of inflation, but
bringing prices down is very, very difficult, with the exception
of the energy which he has been successful there, and

(14:48):
energy has a ripple effect throughout the economy and throughout
all prices. But I think, you know, the showman in
Trump sometimes is his worst enemy.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
No, I agree one hundred percent. He can't help himself.
Somebody needs to take his social media account away, and
of course that's what led Joe Biden to be elected
because people traded things that actually work for a guy
that didn't tweet out bad things, and we all saw
how that went. Doctor Elli, have a few minutes left here.
This is not unusual for a president to be like
this in terms of public opinion on some of these

(15:22):
quote unquote push pulls. I remember Ronald Reagan after his
first two years, was severely underwater, and then all of
a sudden, his economic plan, the trickle down economic Plan,
started to pay off, and all of a sudden, Ronald
Reagan became one of the most revered people, particularly among Republicans,
in all of political history.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
So this is not unusual.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, you know, this is not unusual for any president
to be where he is. But I think he's just
he's in better shape. He's just not getting the credit
for it because of the way he's treated by the
media and because, as you just mentioned, the way he
treats every everyone else with social media.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yes, I think some of these things are self inflicted,
but overall, I believe people are rational. They vote their
own self interest and what they perceive is.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Going to improve their lives.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
And I think the big Beautiful Law, which is going
to allow the deduction, one hundred percent deduction on equipment
and factories is going to lead to a renaissance of
industrial development in the United States. That lower middle class
working class that has been severely harmed, I think will

(16:43):
show improvements in employment, and not only improvements in employment,
but improvements in their standard of living because many of
them had to move into service jobs, many of them
were depressed, and many of them moved into areas that
destroy their lives. And I think Trump has achieved that

(17:05):
in terms of not only the reindustrialization of America, the
investment and then the big Beautiful Law, which I think
is going to have a significant impact. And the reality
usually overwhelms propaganda, not one hundred percent, but I think
it will have a significant impact.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, Doctor Frank Sorrentino, the author of Presidential Power and
the American Political System. It is out there right now.
I bought the book. I read the book. It is
a great book, and you can also find him and
a pathway to that book. Doctor Dr Frankmsorantino dot com.
Dr Frank M. Sorrentino dot com. All right, Doc, you

(17:47):
have a happy New Year, and I know we'll visit
in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Thanks, Happy New Year, Thank you sir.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
We'll see.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
But a lot of these, a lot of these polling places,
and particularly a lot of the big news organizations, they
don't want the guy to succeed. They don't and anything
he does well gets immediately overshadowed by something else that
they dig up or run to some other politician on
the other side of the equation to see if there's
anything over there that could just bury this thing. I mean,

(18:18):
it's so disingenuous, it really is. It's also twelve twenty six.
It's the average American and for the great American. On
this Tuesday, seven hundred WLW blog Those skins Baby, bring
in the new year. Welcome back, seven hundred WLWD Tim
Brew for Bill Cunningham.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Great to have you with us.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yes, just a few more hours to go and twenty
twenty five will be left in the old dust and onward.
At twenty twenty six. A couple of things going out
of interest in the world. Oh sport. You know, some
people just can't stand prosperity. Seven Diggs who is part
of a New England Patriots team that is just one

(19:02):
of the great stories in all of the NFL is
now facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeter
charge of assault from an alleged incident earlier this month.
So there was a motion hearing that took place about
an hour and a half ago in Massachusetts, and a

(19:24):
judge has decided whether to impound the court documents ahead
of his arragement, which is in the middle of next month,
which is the Friday before actually the AFC Championship game.
Patriots are saying, yeah, we're aware of the situation, kind
of waiting and see what happens. Diggs has categorically denied everything.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Diggs.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
They're supporting the NFL's posture on all of this is
to wait for these things to play out in court
with some sort of final judgment before they issue any
kind of suspension. But don't know the whys and the wherefores,
don't know who or what was at fault. Diggs leaves
the Patriots this season eighty two catches, nine hundred and

(20:06):
seventy yards and four touchdowns. One of the best stories
in all of the NFL this year. Yeah, you've been hearing,
probably on our radio station, the commercials about improving your health,
watching your health trying to make it healthier in twenty
twenty six, which I think is a great goal for anybody.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Really.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
I mean, if this is not a dress rehearsal, you
only get one chance at this stuff, so why not
give yourself the best chance. And you know, because of
genetics and other things, you're not all in the same
boat with any particular malady. Some of us are more
particular or more susceptible, I should say, to heart ailments.
Others have a disposition because of their genetics towards cancer.

(20:49):
I mean, it's just the way the lottery works. Something
you can't have control over, though, is in the spotlight.
And I hear this. I'm hearing this a lot. I
don't know why in the last couple of weeks, but
a stroke happens everywhere in the United States. Every forty seconds,
a stroke happened. I'm repeat that, a stroke happens everywhere

(21:12):
in the United States every forty seconds. Every forty seconds,
one of us has a stroke. That's about eight hundred
thousand strokes every year. And of those eight hundred thousand strokes,
about six hundred and ten thousand are first ever strokes.
About two hundred thousand are recurring events. This is according

(21:33):
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and it's
one of the nation's deadlyest held challenges. It accounts for
about one in every twenty deaths and estimated one hundred
and roughly one hundred and sixty five thousand lives are
lost every year to stroke, and a lot of it

(21:54):
has to do with lifestyle. You sit on the couch,
you don't eat well, chances are it's going to catch
up with you. If you smoke, there are a lot
of things that are going to catch up with you.
But quite frankly, that is one of the leading causes
of stroke, and certainly one of the leading causes of
heart failure and heart attacks and other maladies of the heart.

(22:20):
So I was looking for somebody that could address this
because I think it's one of the easiest things to avoid,
genetics aside, and I found somebody. His name is doctor
Jeremy Lyft. Jeremy Lyft is a bird a Board certified
neurologist specializing in stroke, brain aneurysms, and a venus venus

(22:41):
venus venus outflow condition. And you know, he's been to
all the top places in America for education and practice,
including Johns Hopkins, and I wanted to get him out
about this because far too often you hear about it
and you don't hear about a successful outcome.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
So how do you prevent this? Because if we are
going to get involved.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
With better health, what better way, what better plays to
start than with doctor Jeremy Lift Jeremy, how are you
on this glorious day?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I'm well, how are you doing?

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Great? Is it venice or Venus?

Speaker 3 (23:13):
The e n r us Venus the planet.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Like the planet?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Okay, because venice could be confused with venomous and we
wouldn't want to do.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
That, right, No, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I found this is astounding to every forty second somebody
in the United States has a stroke. That's close to
eight hundred thousand people every year have a stroke. Define
stroke because there are a number of different strokes. We know,
maybe the most dramatic kind, but there are other kinds too.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, so you can divide it up between a blood
clot and a blood hemorrhage in the brain, but the
overwhelming majority of the ones are where there's a clot
in an artery which stops the brain. Are part of
the brain from getting blood flow and then that part
of the brain stops working and that is the stroke.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
What causes is a blood clot.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
There's two main reasons that I think for the public's.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
Benefit to be aware of.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
The way you can think about it is one that
the blood vessel in the neck or the brain actually
closes up or gets narrow because of plaque. And the
other one is that the heart sends a clot up
to the brain and just abruptly accludes it or blocks
it off. So those are the two main reasons.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
So a clot in the heart doesn't necessarily nest in
the heart. It can travel and that's where it gets
into trouble with stroke right.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Exactly, because the heart is exchecting blood to the brain
sixty to eighty times a minute. So if there's a
plot there, it can travel up to the brain and
that could cause a stroke and oftentimes a large stroke.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
And how do you know? How do you if you've
never had one. I'm sure if you've had one, you
know what a stroke is. But if you've never had one,
you know, how would it develop? How would you know?
It would like a warning sign. You're sitting around your
house and you're thinking, well, this doesn't feel right? What
what does a stroke warning sign?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
The basic idea of a stroke is that it's a
painless and sudden change in.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
Your neurological functions.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
So if all of a sudden you can't talk correctly,
or you're all of a sudden imbalanced, or all of
a sudden with no pain, your face is drooping, or
one side of your body is not working, that is
highly suggestive of a stroke, and that requires immediate medical attention.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Don't you and how quickly? Because I've heard that the
quicker the better. But there's there's a time frame here
to prevent permanent damage. Is it like if I have one,
you know, the ambulance can't get here inside of ten minutes,
it's going to be you know, another ten minutes of
the hospital. What are we talking about in terms of times?

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well, there are two main ways to treat a stroke
to try to reverse it. One is to give medication
in an IV and one is to do an emergency procedure.
In either case, as soon as.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
You can the better.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
You can only give the medicaid up to three or
four and a half hours, so there's really no time
to waste.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Some people will make the mistake.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Those trying to sleep it off for something.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
And they wake up and it's not gone. But now
they've ruined their chance of getting treated. So there's actually
no time to waste because from the time that the
stroke starts, you're losing brain cells due to lack of
blood and oxygen and millions and millions every minute.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
And it's painless, you said, I mean, there's no like
a heart attack kind of pain.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
It's painless.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
That's absolutely great.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
There are a few.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Less, very much less common types of strokes that have pain,
but the basic concept is no pain but much dysfunction,
and that is suggestive of a stroke.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Okay, so what he gave you the number is it's
one of the deadliest health challenges, accounting for approximately one
in every twenty deaths, and that research is recent as
twenty twenty two. Lifestyle has to have something to do
with it. My guess is almost eight hundred thousand strokes
every year in the United States. I would say we
probably lead the world, are very close to leaving the

(27:03):
world in this particular problem. But it has to be lifestyle.
You know, we're not a very we're not a very
movement society. We tend to be sedentary. We like TV.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
We like watching football or sitcoms. We don't eat well.
We like to eat foods that are quick. Gets you
get something down our throat and get on with life.
I would have to think that lifestyle has a lot
to do with people that get strokes. It can't all
be hereditary.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
Correct, You're absolutely correct.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Sedentary lifestyle, lack of cardiovascular exercise.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Certainly contributes to it.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Smoking obviously, we've done a good job in our society
over the last sixty years of decreasing the number of
people that smoke, but that's still a huge respector.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
And then yes, the diet, eating.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Foods that are high in sugar, that cause insulin resistance,
a cause metabolic dysfunction, all of these things that contribute
to damage to arteries, diabetes, not controlling your diabetes.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
It's such a harmful things.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
And then blood pressure, which is so prevalent walking around
with high blood pressure, even though that in itself is
also usually painless and doesn't give you a problem until
it gives you a big problem, which oftentimes could be stroke.
Because all of these things that I mentioned damage the arteries,
which lead to which lead to stroke. Because it's a

(28:21):
lack of blood to your brain.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Well, there are a lot of people, I think out
there that think, oh, he had a stroke, Well he
must have been seventy eighty years old. I mean, this
stuff can happen in younger people too. And the reason
why I raise it is, I mean we got a
lot of kids, and by kids, I mean people in
their teens and twenties. They'll sit in front of a television,
will play games, will do whatever they do as opposed
to doing the things you just suggested. So this isn't something,

(28:43):
at least what I've been told. Correct me if I'm wrong.
This isn't something just germane to the older crowd, right, No.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
It can happen in It's certainly less common in twenty
and thirty year olds, but we see it a lot
in fifteen six year olds who are not living healthy lifestyles.
But even if it's not happening to when you're twenty
and thirty, you're setting yourself up for problems twenty years
down the line. So it's just it's so important to
try to be healthy, maintain a healthy lifestyle, get exercise,

(29:13):
get out at any age, and stop putting essentially poisons
into your body, which unfortunately we do poisons.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Processed foods can't be very good. I was always told
shop around the perimeter of the grocery store because that's
where the good stuff is, and it's the aisles they
catch you in trouble.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
So, like the processed foods would.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Have to be a problem, of course.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I mean, if you think about it, if something that
you're eating could have been on the shelf for the
last fifty three years and nothing would have changed, that's
probably not something you want to put in your body now. Obviously,
that's sort of where we've gone a society, and unfortunately,
but yeah, ultra process foods are a big problem. And
seed oils and you know, the vegetable oils are things

(29:53):
that you could sit there for one hundred years and
then you're going to fry your food with it.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
None of this is very good because.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
I'm thinking, I'm thinking somebody's listening to us right now
and they're saying, Okay, well I don't want a stroke. Yeah,
you're right, I probably should monitor my blood pressure. And
so you know, there are a lot of places you
can walk into like Kroger grocery stores out here or whatever,
and they have a machine, you can at least get
an idea how close your blood pressure are. It's certainly
not the best machine to measure, but you can see

(30:20):
if your blood pressure is like four hundred over one
hundred and seventy five. I think you could probably, you know,
see something like that. But what else besides blood pressure?
How do you what can you do from a diagnostic
standpoint besides monitoring your blood pressure that might be able
to mitigate your chances of having a stroke.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I'll give you two other things that you could do immediately.
One is that your doctor can check you for pre
diabetes and for kidney dysfunction as a result of diabes,
and for insulin resistance that is such a big marker
in terms of arterial disease. And the second one is
that you can check your charactery. We have major conduits

(31:01):
to the brain, the corodid arteries, which are running from
your neck up into your brain, and you can easily
get especially as you get older, you have other risk factors.
You could get an ultrasound takes five minutes, a little jelly,
and you can see if you've started to develop lockages
in the blood vessels that are going to the brain.
Because that is a huge setup and a major contributor

(31:22):
to having a stroke.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
And honestly, I've had family members that have had that issue,
and it's even if you have that, if there's blockage
in there and significant blockage surgically, it's not a big
thing to go in and clean it out. I mean,
you rote a router and you're basically okay, it's not
a big deal.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
There's two ways that you can treat it. One is
to have a surgery which has been done for a
number of years called an end art erectomy, and that's
an open surgery.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
But the second thing is that the.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Technology to become much less invasive to treat these things
with a stent in the same way that you could
put a stint in a herd vessel, we can now
put it into the corotid artery and it's you're out.
You're out the door the next day and back to
back to normal. And the technology has just gotten so
good over the last ten to fifteen years where we

(32:10):
can do it in a minimally invasive way and reduce
your strokers. I've seen many patients they're walking around with
ninety percent.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
Blockage of the major artery of the brain.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
They don't know it, and it gets picked up and
treated and they're out the door the next day.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, it's amazing. How the technology. All you have to
do with any of this stuff is be proactive. You
just can't sit around and say, well, it'll never happen
to me, doctor Lift, this is good stuff. Board certified neurologist.
I mean, you've got it all right there, a stroke, brain, aneurysms,
venus outflow conditions.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
You obviously went to college, so I did. It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
But two years ago, well, congratulations on that, and thank
you today for this info. It's it's it's it's it's
really not something that should be difficult to get that
number down. But stay well, doctor, I know you're a doctor.
That sounds crazy. I'm telling you to stay well, but
stay well and keep fighting the good fight.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
You as well.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, I mean you look at this seven and a half,
seven point eight actually million you as adults. Thirty one
three point one percent of the population have experienced this
stroke at some point in their lives, and a lot
of times this stuff has gone undetective.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
So what what's the what? Go see your doctor.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Just make it a make sure you go see your
doctor on a regular basis. And if you've got a
red flag, you got to monitor it. I mean it
sounds basic, but I mean if you if they're almost
eight hundred thousand strokes every year, would.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
It not make the light bulb go off? You know?
Maybe make sure I'm okay?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Twelve fifty five already on this Tuesday, A lot more
to get to. Time is running out on prosecuting J
six fed erectionists. Yes, time is running out on J
six fed surrectionists. Those are the people that might have been,
shall we say, implanted inside the J six alleged rioters

(34:12):
by the federal government.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Well, the clock is ticking.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
It's precious days left for the Attorney General of this
country to find the people that might have stoked the
fire down there that we're working for the government. Does
Pam Bondy have the will to do it?

Speaker 4 (34:29):
And then down the.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Road look ahead of the Marrow Knits Ohio State Miami
College football playoff game. A lot to get too, short
time to get there. Seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
What a nine on this Tuesday before New Year's Day?

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Welcome back? I am ken Brew. The average American in
for the great American. Great to have you with us,
for without you, what would I be? One man sitting
in a room all by himself, babbling incoherently?

Speaker 4 (35:05):
And why leave home to do that?

Speaker 1 (35:08):
There are a precious few days left now before the
statues of limitations expire for anyone who may have participated
in what many have termed a FED surrection. In other words,
people that were embodied, imbedded, I should say, would be
a better term, embedded into the January sixth crowd on

(35:31):
that infamous day back in twenty twenty one. Of course,
there was a big show trial by Congress and went
absolutely nowhere. There were two Republicans on the j six Commission.
They both left politics after that. There were multiple investigations,
and about a year ago, Department of Justice Inspector General

(35:55):
reported there was no evidence that the FBI had undercover
in employees embedded in the protest crowds or inside the
Capitol on January sixth. I think it's important to point
that out. And it seemed to be a DOJ inspector
General that was distanced in some way from Merrick Garland,

(36:15):
so you would hope that this was an investigation that
was impartial in nature and just seeking the truth, and
there's nothing that would lead one to believe that it
would not be. But nevertheless, these FBI alleged operatives were
not in the crowd on January the sixth. However, there

(36:40):
were many other people that worked for the federal government
that were. And because of that, there has been this
belief that when the riot or insurrection or illegal gathering
or the storming the cat however you want to term it,
that it was not just people that were juiced up

(37:01):
by Donald Trump to go down to the Capitol, that
there were other people that might have been part of
that crowd as well. And so the term that has
popped up is fed surrection. Now a man by the
name of Adam Hartage who has a new book out
about IA.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
It's a good read.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
It's called The Alpha Blueprint, Preparing the Next Generation for
an AI Future. But in a previous life, Adam Hartage
was a CIA operations officer and was on site that day,
on site that day on January sixth, And so as
we count down to whether or not Attorney General Bondi
will bring any charges against anyone who might have been

(37:45):
there that was not just simply part of a juiced
up political movement or storming the walls. Could have been
other people that have been planted in there. We know
the J six pipe bomber has been arrested, although that
remains to be a little less than passing the smell
test at least for me. Is anybody else going to

(38:08):
be charged? So I thought i'd get Adam Hartijohn right
now to talk about this, because the clock is ticking
on anything that Bondi and her group may do. So
let's get Heartage, who was on site that day on
j six and let's bring him into the conversation. And
Adam Hartage, how are you on this glorious day?

Speaker 7 (38:27):
No, I'm good j Skinn to talk to. He has
always been all right.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
So we're coming up on the five year anniversary of
the FED surrection as some people call it, which would
be any kind of government involvement in the January sixth,
what some people call riot, what some people call it insurrection, whatever,
what occurred at the Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Question here Fed surrection.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
You were apparently on site that day, your former CIA
operations officer. But you, according to what I'm breading here,
you were on site that day. We never really talked
about this. You and I. What did you see besides
what would appear to be some deranged people trying to
climb the wall of the Capitol and get inside.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
What did you see physically that day?

Speaker 8 (39:13):
Yeah, so I'll just tell you that the way that
that whole event was portrayed by the media and the
reality on the ground are two very different things. So
I was there just for your audience to be aware. Yes,
I'm a foreigner agency guy. I had left the agency
a couple of years prior, and I was there as
a private citizen with my wife and two friends.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
I was not there in any sort of official status whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
And where were you? What were you?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Where were you physically when they say you were on site?
Where were you?

Speaker 8 (39:43):
In front of the capital out by the uh There's
a big fountain.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
Where a bunch of people were gathered in front of.

Speaker 8 (39:49):
It, and we were on the other side of that
the fountain there, so we did not go up on
the stuff.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
She had a very clear view.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
I've got actually a lot of videos that I took
that day, and but you know, the spirit of the
day was you had a bunch of peaceful patriots that
wanted to express their displeasure what they stolen election, or
what they perceived to be a stolen election. And I,
for one, am in that camp that there's so much

(40:17):
election their regularity, and I believe that. I mean, it
was it was very strange because so as we're walking
from the from the Obelisk, you know, the Washington Monument
downtown Capital, that we literally could see the Antifa buses unloading.
I mean, these guys are so bad as far as
you know, they're sort of covert status. They're literally getting

(40:40):
off the buses and putting on Magga year to try
and blend in with the crowd and then try and
stoke a little bit of crowd frenzy. But what I
heard was a lot of people in the crowd shouting
those people down, being like, hey man, that's not we're all,
that's not what this is about.

Speaker 7 (40:55):
That's not what we're here for, you know, that kind
of thing. And everything that day.

Speaker 8 (40:59):
Was very peaceful until the police started firing tear gas
uh into the crowd. So uh and then as well,
I mean, I don't know if you've seen the videos,
but I mean you've got there's literally videos from inside
Capitol Hill where you have Capitol police officers ushering j
six protesters into the doors, I mean openly, you know,

(41:21):
So they can't.

Speaker 7 (41:22):
They can't on the.

Speaker 8 (41:22):
One hand and say oh, yeah, yeah, this is a
terrible thing, and then on the other hand, well you
were also And then let's remember the only person killed
that day was Ashley Babbott, a veteran Air Force service member,
who was shot by a Capitol police officer.

Speaker 7 (41:41):
She was unarmed. I mean, so let's just remember that.

Speaker 8 (41:46):
You know, you know, you've got the left calling that,
oh that is the worse than nine to eleven all
these other things.

Speaker 7 (41:50):
It's just the most disingenuous political nonsense. And here's where
we are.

Speaker 8 (41:57):
The FBI could go around and find every single grandmother,
that disabled veteran in a wheelchair and throw them in
jail for protesting at a building that they paid for.

Speaker 7 (42:10):
With their own taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 8 (42:12):
Yet they can't even somehow find with the gazillions of
cameras and the cell phone tracking coverage, because they can
track everybody's cell phone selector, so they will know if
you win in the Capitol or not. They can track
everybody's cell phone around there. And locate all these people,
but they can't find this supposed pipe bomber for five years.

Speaker 7 (42:31):
Will they give me a break?

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Yeah? Okay, Well let's stay on the j six day
just for a second.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
In regards to the Capitol, there is time running out
on bondid BONDI and the FBI to find if there
were any so called deep state activists that were in there,
or even operatives from the federal government that might have
been standing the crowd and trying to get them riled up. Now,

(42:56):
the party that was in power as of January twenty
twenty one had no appetite for that none. They were
just going after people that were Maga or Trump because
the mission of that party since twenty fifteen has been
to stop Trump, Trump bad get Orange Man.

Speaker 4 (43:13):
That's that's been the.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Mission, correct, So they viewed that as a chance to
just shut him down completely. But yet there have been
people that we have heard from and seen that said
there were federal operatives that were inside that crowd. Today,
there's been no appetite from Democrats to find.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Out what they were doing.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
So my question to you remains, you know, she's got
a limited number of days here. Do you anticipate her
or Petel doing anything because the clock is running out.

Speaker 7 (43:43):
No, I don't anticipate that.

Speaker 8 (43:45):
I mean it seems that, you know, if you're a
conservative and you stand up and you try and do
the right thing, they crucify you, throw your order the bus,
destroy your life. I mean, just take a look at Trump,
you know what they tried to do to him. Take
a look at plan my forem Loss, what they did
to him.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
A good Bannon. I mean, the list goes on and on.

Speaker 8 (44:02):
Roger Stone. I mean, you've got all these people that
are persecuted. I mean me, I they destroyed my company.
I was fired by the CIA for questioning several things
that I won't get into that, but in fact, the
same programs that d and I Tulca Gabbard talked about
in her confirmation hearing, that's what I got tied bayed with.

(44:22):
So the bottom line is if you are a patriotic
conservative American loving American, you will be targeted in this
current political climate that we're in.

Speaker 7 (44:33):
That's that's that's it. That's I mean, that's the simplest.

Speaker 8 (44:36):
Do I think anybody's going to you know, any FEDS
or actually going to go to jail for anything or
even be investigated or in diet it No, I don't, okay,
I mean in the FBI has owned a mission. There
was more than two hundred and fifty you know, undercover
operatives in the crowd.

Speaker 7 (44:51):
Because they had that, they employed it.

Speaker 8 (44:53):
You know, and you had like Trump calling for the
National Guard, you know, Nancy Pelosi in the Capitol police
decline it. I mean, there's it's just all been a
bs syop narrative from the beginning. And if anybody cannot
see that at this point, then they're just so hopelessly
committed to an ideology of you know, leftist nonsense and

(45:17):
probably globalists, you know that America last policies.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
I mean, I can't, I can't help them, you know.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
So Adam Hartage, former CIA operations officer, okay, the j
six pipe bomber. After five years, they finally get the guy.
They arrested him about three and a half weeks ago,
a man by the name of Brian Cole Jr.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
And uh and So.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
According to the prosecutors, Cole said he just snapped. He
wanted to punish both political parties, that he was inspired
by an ethno nationalist conflict that was going on in
Northern Ireland or someplace. I mean, the guy, obviously is
I think, had a case to be tried on not
guilty by insaneity. But nevertheless, it took them almost five

(46:03):
years to figure this out. They didn't want to figure
this out until they got the right people in the FBI.
But it seems to me, well, you got the Capitol Police,
you got the Metro Police in Washington, DC, you got
the Secret Service, you got people running around the Capitol
national not National Guard, but just just just uniformed agents everywhere,

(46:24):
and they can't find this bomb that was planted there,
and they don't know who did it for five years.
That kind of smells to me as an inside job.
Does that not smell?

Speaker 7 (46:35):
Do you like that?

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (46:37):
Absolutely it does. It smells that way.

Speaker 8 (46:39):
And I mean, but let's talk about what the Skis
defense probably should be, is, you know, uh, not guilty
by purposes of being a patsy. I mean, uh, you know,
the first don't forget the first JA six pipe bomber
that they had that you know was that we got her.
It was it was a woman. She was a Capitol
Police officer, and we found her because of her her

(47:00):
Gate and the video.

Speaker 7 (47:01):
Stuff and everything else.

Speaker 8 (47:02):
So it goes from a woman and next thing you know,
I was like, oh no, no, no, no, not not
the woman. It's definitely it was a white guy. So
it's like, Okay, who's the white guy. They're like, well,
hold on, maybe not so fast, you can be got.
But it's this other guy maybe dark skin, dark skinned
white guy. So so uh and and by the way,
he's autistic or maybe he's insane.

Speaker 7 (47:24):
We're not really sure.

Speaker 8 (47:24):
I'm like, none of these things at all add up
to any sort of nothing passes the sniff test here.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
It just doesn't.

Speaker 8 (47:33):
And will anybody be arrested who's on the fed side,
especially if they're on the left side. No, I don't
think so they're never punished. There's no accountability. And I
mean I begged the executive branch to actually hold people
to account.

Speaker 7 (47:49):
Well judicial, judicial, Yeah, I'll.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Sell you honestly, And and I don't have any inside
information on this, so please don't think that I do.
But I honestly think that the administration, the current administration,
Trump and those that work for him, Bondie and Cash Mattel,
I really think that they wanted this to go away.
After they got the pipe bomber. They got the pipe bomber.

(48:15):
It kept Dan Bongino, the assistant on the job, that
kept him happy.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
He walks away with a victory.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
But I think they, honestly, I don't think they want
to resurrect January sick at all. I think they want
to put that thing to bed, because if they resurrected now,
all of a sudden, it becomes a campaign issue in
twenty twenty six, where once again it'll be stop Trump
Trump bad, stop Orange Man. And I think they they don't.
They don't have the stomach to do it. In my opinion,

(48:43):
I think you're probably right.

Speaker 8 (48:44):
I mean, I'm not one hundred percent sure on that.
I don't have any insight sources on that either. But
if I just look at you know, history is the
best indicator of future behavior, right, and we have not
seen a government on either side who has been willing
to hold anyone on the left accountable, you know, So

(49:10):
I don't expect that to change.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
I wish it would.

Speaker 8 (49:13):
I don't know what kind of leviathon you know, it
really is in control. I mean, you remember back to
the Bongino in Cash video where they're like, oh, Epstein
killed themselves for sure, And I was looking at that.
I was like, man, I've seen hostage videos where the
hostages looked like they were under less arrest than these guys,
you know, So I'm like, I wanted the camera to

(49:33):
pan to the right so we could see who was
holding the gun at these guys. I mean, I mean,
I feel, honestly, I feel really bad for them, you know.
I feel bad for anybody in the administration who's trying
to do the right thing.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
And I think there are a lot of good people.

Speaker 7 (49:48):
I'm just telling you, man, as somebody who was there too.

Speaker 8 (49:50):
And I spoke up, and I got hammered for it,
and I spoke up again, and I got hammered for
it again.

Speaker 7 (49:55):
And it's just it's just the way that it's played.
If you are.

Speaker 8 (50:00):
Somebody that wants to put America first, yeah, and against and.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
That doesn't necessarily run against a Republican or a Democrat.
I think it confirms that in actuality, the majority of
people that work there inside the Beltway in the Capitol, Senators, congressman, staff, president,
regardless it's the uniparty, The uniparty still exists, and you're

(50:26):
going to get the wacko left yelling and screaming on
cable TV, and you're going to get the wacko MAGA
right yelling and screaming on TV. But in the middle
are the people that, you know, let's shake hands, let's
make a few statements that may not be also complimentary,
and I'll see at dinner tonight.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
And I think that's still what Washington.

Speaker 7 (50:42):
I did too.

Speaker 8 (50:43):
And so MAGA is really interesting as a party because
you know, it's been a very much an open tent
kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
You know.

Speaker 8 (50:51):
I think Trump was brilliant for bringing in RFK Junior
and Tulsa Gabbard, and you know, because those are they're
all former Democrats, including President Trump himself.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
You know.

Speaker 8 (51:02):
And and what that did is it showed the world
It's like, hey man, this isn't really about you know,
Democrat or Republican. This is about America first, literally America first.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
You know, we're going to.

Speaker 7 (51:14):
Say we're gonna put all of our differences aside and we're.

Speaker 8 (51:16):
Going to do what's right for America. And that I
think that and I think you're entirely right. I think
that is what the deep state does not want. I
think that is what the uniparty doesn't want I think
you know it's bad for them. You know, foreign wars
are a good thing for the senators to back them,
and you know they're not good for anybody else. And

(51:36):
I mean it's just that's that is the reality of
what they would call real politics.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
You know, there's three days.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
There's three days a politician wants, Adam, you want your money,
you want your vote, and then at all costs. He
doesn't want you knowing exactly what he does when he
goes to Washington, d C. Because that could be held
against him when he's looking for your vote and your
money the next time he's a election. That's del Potomac
two step Adam Hartage the Alpha Blueprint preparing the next

(52:04):
generation for an AI future. Adam, I want to get
you on talking about AI, and I know that book

I hope for the best Ken Anderson. This is long.
I've said this sack. He should have been in ten
years ago. But the way they've got the voting now,

(58:05):
where he's up against coaches and contributors, it's such a

a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Yeah, not only can they run, ain't none of those
players entering the transfer portal and no of them are
leaving early played in that game.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
They're heading for a submarine or a ship.

The e h L and the Union reached and reached
a settlement to end that two day strike.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
You know why they reached it. It cancels the weekends
worth of games.

Speaker 9 (01:00:50):
I guess the guys are gonna get thrown out of
their apartments, right, they were going to get evicted.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Yeah, because the HL pays for all their lives. They
were going to get evicted.

The infamous indoor indoor New Year's Eve fireworks.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
Oh that's true. Well, you know, no strike was ever
going to prevent that. No, say, can I don't you
listen to something here?

Speaker 9 (01:01:38):
Go ahead? Don't you remember this song? Yes the Monkeys, Yes,
saw them in the Cincinnati Gardens.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Lead singer on this song is a guy named Davie Jones.
That's called hitting a post Amen. Had Davy Jones been
alive today and unfortunately he died of a severe heart attack,
he had arterials glorosis.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
He died thirteen years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
But had he been alive today, the heart throb Davy
Jones would be eighty years old.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
Wow, and probably still performing, right, the oldie shows.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
He knows this is an interesting thing about the Monkeys.
What's that also born on this day? Mike Nesmuth. Oh,
if Mike Nesmith were alive today, yeah, Mike Nessmith would
be eighty three years old.

Speaker 9 (01:02:36):
But Peter Tork and Mickey Dolan says still would have
been running around.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Of course Nessmuth died of heart failure. I think that
was back in twenty twenty one, at the age of
seventy eight. And of course, as we all know, sig,
the man who wrote this song was the incomparable Neil Diamond.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Is that right? Yeah? About that? Dun, dun. You know
that I saw them live at the Gardens? Do you
know that that David Bowie's real name is David Jones.
And then he was performing with the name Davy Jones
when a manager went to him and said, look, there's

(01:03:17):
this Davy Jones with this group called the Monkeys. Let's
think about changing your name, and he changed it to
David Bowie.

Speaker 9 (01:03:25):
See what what have you learned? And this stooge report
and that's more and bigger than that. I'm casey k
it had no idea keep your feet on the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
And keep reaching for the stars. Remember they were fighting
over Casey Cason's carcass. They were it was literally a
weekend at Bernie's. I think they were driving his corpse
around La so the family couldn't get a hold of him,
and the third wife had him in the car and
she wasn't going to give him up.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
Unbelievable, this Sunday afternoon at one, right here on the.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):

Injury surgery, that's correct. I think his wife, we.

Speaker 7 (01:05:00):
All know, tend to get a little bit narrow at times.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
And making sure that that gets organized again so I
can get the ball up.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
Yeah, please please, here you go, please please, this is Hey,
this is Tiger. Please delete me from your phone? Can
you delete me from your phone? Please remember that?

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Some of the memories we resurrect here on this fifty
thousand watt.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
Oil torch, seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
That would be ten minutes after two o'clock on the
Eastern time zone here on seven hundred wt welw. It's
the average American name for the great American on this Tuesday.
Glad you are with us. And I don't say that capriciously.
However you're listening, whether it's through this great medium of
terrestrial radio or perhaps on the iHeartRadio app, we thank

(01:05:58):
you for welcoming us in their day. A lot to
get to between now and three, and I think we're
going to start with college football. There are a lot
of there's a lot of nonsense that's out there with
college football, a lot of bowl games that you look
at and you say, what's the point other than giving

(01:06:21):
players a chance for one more game in a season,
or giving coaches a chance to coach one more a
week or two in the current season. None of these
bowl games exist without ESPN. ESPN puts the money up
for these bowl games, so they have product to televise

(01:06:42):
the Irradiance Technologies Independence Bowl that's at two o'clock today.
Well it might have kicked off. I'm not paying attention
Coastal Carolina against Louisiana Tech. Then he got the Liberty
Bowl or is it it's now known as the Liberty
Mutual muse City Bowl.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
I wonder if the EU MEU is going to be
there anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
You got Tennessee in Illinois, that's in Nashville, and then
tonight you've got the Valero Alamo Bowls, Southern Call and TCU.
But without guaranteed money from ESPN, in don't matter, It
really doesn't. The University of Cincinnati is playing in Memphis
in Memphis, Tennessee at the Liberty Bowl.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
They're playing Navy.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Navy will have its entire team there because after they're
done that Naval Academy team, after their eligibility is done,
they're going to serve our country in uniform. So there's
no transferal portal for Navy. There's no hey, uh, you
know what, I'm going to sit this one out and
get ready for the NFL Draft. There's none of that

(01:07:48):
going on. You see, will not have a starting quarterback.
Brendan Soresby is transferring. They will not have one of
their top running backs. Evan Pryor has just announced he
is entering the Portal. He's announced that to an online
service called on three Sports. In the past couple of seasons,

(01:08:10):
he's run up over twelve hundred yards and eleven touchdowns.
But apparently he's entering the Portal, which means he won't
be available for the game in Memphis. The games that matter,
the college football playoff games continue tomorrow. Those are the
games that matter. Oregon, Texas Tech on January first, Alabama,

(01:08:34):
Indiana January first, in the Rose Bowl, Mississippi, Omess and
Georgia January first, and of course tomorrow at the Cotton
Bowl it's Miami and Ohio State. Ohio State, the number
two seed is a nine and a half point favored
in this game. Covering this game and doing it better

(01:08:57):
than I think anybody else is the website eleven Warriors
dot com and our good buddy up there in Columbus
at eleven Warriors dot Com is now our good buddy
en route to Dallas for this game, and that's Dan Hope,
and I wanted to get Dan on the show today
to talk about Miami and Ohio State. As now the

(01:09:18):
top four seeds will be pressed into action beginning tomorrow
night with number two seed Ohio State against Miami of Florida.
So let's see what Dan Hope has to say about this. Dan,
how are you in this glorious game day?

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
Doing great?

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
Thanks for having me, Ken.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
I'm glad you're back here. I know you're getting ready
to get down to the Big D and check everything out.
Third year in a row going to Dallas for the Buckeyes.
I mean, that's it. It doesn't get old. I know that.
But nevertheless, you guys probably know all the hotspots down there.

Speaker 11 (01:09:49):
Yeah, certainly for third year in a row, like you mentioned,
of course last year iconic game for Ohio State with
Jack Sawyer's scoop and score to beat Texas. Game before
that a little more for getible lost in Missouri, but
certainly a state hoping that this year's game will go
like last year's game did.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
I was reading the story you wrote for eleven Warriors.
I guess it was a couple of days ago. And
basically it said that, you know, Ryan Day speaking for
the team, everybody is urinated off about what happened against
Indiana and the Big Big Ten championship game. And you know,
when you sit on a loss for that long, I
guess you get to stew a little bit about it.
But then it's what you do about it that's even

(01:10:28):
more important. So let's talk about determination here. What have
you discovered at these practice sessions and talking to players
about the sense of determination for this game against quite frankly,
a very good Miami team.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
Well, the good thing is for Ohio State, they've done
this before.

Speaker 11 (01:10:43):
We saw it last year where they lose that game
to Michigan, they have to stew on it for a month,
and then they go and have a fantastic four game
run in the College football playoffs. So there's a lot
of players on this year's team who were part of
last year's team who have been there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
They know what it takes to bounce back from a loss.

Speaker 11 (01:11:00):
They know what it takes to play their best football
in the College football playoffs. So I think that that's
something that can really kind of guide them into this
game and help them in terms of knowing what it
takes to play their best football of the season in
the biggest games of the year. Now at the same time,
just because they did it last year doesn't if they're
going to do it again, and players talking about that,

(01:11:20):
you know, they have to work just as hard going
into this game as they did going into those CFT
games a year ago if they want to have the
same results.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
But I think the fact that you.

Speaker 11 (01:11:30):
Know, Ryan Day and so many of these players have
been prove out already last year, they have that experience
of playing in the collegeball playoff and winning a national championship.
I think that's really valuable. It's something they can draw
from going into this game.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
Day is going to take over the play calling on offense,
largely because Brian Hartline has got one foot out the
door to South Florida to become their next head coach,
and although he's still coaching obviously on the staff, he's
going to concentrate on wide receivers. They took over the
play calling. Why is it because Heartline is literally moving

(01:12:08):
on And was it a strategic thing on Dave's part?
Did he not like the way the players with being
colleg just fill in the blanks?

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
There a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Yeah, I think he pretty much covered it.

Speaker 11 (01:12:17):
I think it's the fact that, you know, Brian Hartline
is juggling two jobs right now, and I think that
Ryan Day came to realize over the last couple of
weeks that having an offensive coordinator, having someone leading the
offensive game plan who is not a one hundred percent
invested in Ohio State right now, was not the best
move for Ohio State. And I don't say that to

(01:12:39):
criticize Brian Hartline. It's just the reality of the situation
that you know, he's going to be a head coach
somewhere else. He has certain things he has to do
for that job. Unfortunately, the way of the college football.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Calendar is right now. I mean, I know I've read something.

Speaker 11 (01:12:53):
I think it's like eight of the teams in a
college call playoffs or something like that have a coordinator
moving on. So it's just the reality of situation these
days that you know, with the timing of signing day
and a transfer portal and all that, you know, coaching
hires get made before the college football playoff and so
you have a lot of coaches who are finishing up
a job with one team while preparing to start a

(01:13:13):
job with a new team, and that's certainly the case
of Brian Hartline. But I think ryand just kind of
came to realize, well, you know, because of what happened
in the Big Ten championship game, where you know, the
offense clearly had its worst performance of the year, coming
just three days after Brian Hartline was hired at USF.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
I don't think that was a coincidence.

Speaker 11 (01:13:32):
And then I think, you know, realizing is they started
game planning.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
For the cotton ball the last couple of weeks that.

Speaker 11 (01:13:37):
You know, having someone who's splitting time between two places
lead the offensive game plan is probably not the best
way to go about it. And so you know, Ryan
Day ultimately decided that the best move was for him
to do it himself. I mean, he he's a very
experienced offensive play call obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
Juggled those duties in you know, the past.

Speaker 11 (01:13:57):
Is you know, do I think it's ideal that Ryan
has to take over offensive play calling right now?

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:14:03):
But the good news is he's been very involved in
the offensive game plan all year. I mean, even when
Brian Hartline was the one calling the play. It's not
like Ryan Day was separate from that process. He's been
very involved all year long, and so, as he said,
it's still going to be a collaborative process. Every one
on the offensive staff, including Brian Hartline, is going to

(01:14:24):
be a part of that process. But it is one
more thing on Ryan Day's plate now that he has
to manage in games.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Yeah, and history would not pretend this to be a
good outcome. I mean, the last head coach to win
a national championship wild calling plays as a colleague of
yours that Eleven Warriors pointed out in an article this
week was Jim jimbo Fisher at Florida State.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
Before that, it was Steve Spurrier all the way back
in nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Although I'm not sure, I mean, these are each team
is different, each situation is different. I mean there's the history,
but I'm not quite convinced that history really translates into
a trendy, are you.

Speaker 11 (01:15:03):
Yeah, We'll see, you know, And I think, you know,
it's it's an interesting data point that that it has been,
you know, a dozen years since someone has done that.
But that doesn't mean that Ohio State can't do it,
you know. I think, uh, you know again, I think
a very important thing is just making sure, you know,
you have a good plan in place. And so much

(01:15:24):
of the work on this happened during the week before
of the game. I mean, you know, you know there
is that added element now of like he has to
you know, be the one who's actually making that final
call during the game, But so much of it is
what's going on during the week in the game planning process.
And you know, even last year, Chip Kelly was the

(01:15:44):
one calling the play, but Ryan Day was very involved
in the offensive game planning during the CFP specifically you know,
if you know more time to prepare for games, you know,
he he was very involved. And you know, in large
part two because of what happened to that Michigan game
last year, like he had to be more involved. He
didn't actually take over the play calling range like he's

(01:16:05):
doing this year. But it's not necessarily a new thing
that Ryan Day is heavily involved in the offensive game
planning and play calling profits Miami.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
I watched the Miami game, as I'm sure you did
against A and M and I mean it was a
difficult game to watch. The win was whipping offenses really
weren't in tune. The Miami kicker kicked, lined up to
kick four, he missed three field goals. I'm not sure
you can really take a lot away from that game.
You almost have to look at it. You almost have

(01:16:35):
to look at.

Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
Miami's body of work leading into that game, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Yeah, I think, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:16:41):
I think I realized more and more, as you know,
I've talked to some you know, Miami people over the
course of a week that the wind really did have
a big impact on that game, and a lot of
the offensive struggles in that game were based on the
fact that the wind was so heavy, and so going
from that and now playing a game in the in
a dome, it's going to be a different game.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
So I do think, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:17:03):
Particularly in terms of what Ohio State defense will face
in Miami's offense, I think you're right. But you can't
just look at that game and say, oh, this is
going to be easy for Ohio States defense. You have
to look at their body of work over course of
the season and say, okay, and they have a quarterback
and Carson back who had the second highest completion percentage
of the country behind only Julians, saying, you know, they've

(01:17:25):
got a really dynamic freshman receiver and malexay TONI and
Mark Fletcher running back coming off a really good game,
and so you know, I think if you're Ohio State's defense,
you're confident because you played great all year long. But
I do think this Miami offense is more capable than
what it showed.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
To be against Sex saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Yeah, they hung forty on four different teams this year,
and you know their defense acquitted itself really well. I
think you've got to look at the Louisville game. I
mean that was kind of a goofy game. Louisville wins
it by three. The SMU game, I don't think they
play very well against SMU and SMU winds up with
a six point win. But you look at other games,

(01:18:05):
I mean, other teams were scratching to get at least
fifteen to sixteen points in these games. I don't think
they allowed Other than the games I mentioned, I don't
think they allowed anybody else this year to score twenty.
So this is going to be a monumental task. I
think for the buck Gys offense, they're going to have
to really figure out how do we move the ball

(01:18:25):
against this defense that plays so well, And it starts
up front with their defensive line. And I think Ryan
Day went out of his way to say earlier this
week that you know, Jason Taylor, the former six time
Pro Bowler Pro Football Hall of Famer who's been coaching
Miami defensive lineman for the last couple of years, has
really done a nice job with the talent he's been given.

Speaker 4 (01:18:46):
It starts there with them defensively, I think, don't you yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:18:50):
I think if there's one match a few circle in
the game for Ohio State, it's the Ohio State offensive
line versus the Miami defensive line. I think if Ohio
State offensive line plays well, I think if they can
protect Julian Saying and if a high state can run
a ball, the Buckeye will win the game. I think
the recipe for Miami to pull off the upset is,
honestly a lot of what in the end did is

(01:19:12):
put pressure on Julian Saying. And we saw Julian Saying
get pressured way more in that Indiana game than he
had in any game in the regular season, and it
upset the offensive room in a bad way. And then
we've also seen Ohio State be very up and down
running the ball.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
So I do think that matchup in the trenches is
going to be huge and could very much be what
decides this game.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
They got a problem at right guard Ohio State. Does
I guess Shabola is out according to day for at
least a couple of weeks. They have other players that
can slide in there. How much of a concern is
that for you, knowing what we just talked about in
Miami's defensive.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Front, Yeah, certainly.

Speaker 11 (01:19:49):
I think probably the biggest question mark of any individual
position is that right guard spot. Because Tiger Shabola had
been pretty up and down all year. Lawn And had
had his share of struggles, but neither gave Van Sickle
nor Joshua Padilla ever got to a point during the
regular season to where they were able to supplant Tegerishable.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
Despite those struggles.

Speaker 11 (01:20:10):
There's a lot of rotations of both those guys have
played significant snaps this year, So that's a good thing.
And I think the other good thing is you think
back to last year and again, kind of like you
talked about before Michigan game, offensive line was really bad
in that game and that was the huge question mark
for Ohio State. And then after a few weeks to

(01:20:31):
kind of work through some of those kanks. We saw
the offensive line take a huge step forward in the
College Football Playoff and play at the best football of
the year. So that's little Ohio State's banking on again,
particularly at that right guard spot with Gave Van Sickle
and Joshua Fadilla. We saw Luke Montgomery do something similar
last year, where he had been a backtball year and
then he stepped into comes the starter plays really well
on the CFC. I think they need at least one

(01:20:54):
of those two guys, gave Van Sickle or Joshua Padilla
to make a big step here in the CFT.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
Jeremiah Smith looks like he's he's healthy and over what
was a really tough injury to get through. He had
a quad screen and Tates healthy, Carnel Tates healthy. It
looks like this is pretty good health going into this game,
and certainly the time off has played into that. But
other than the right guard spot, they look bluck. Guys
look like they're in fairly decent health, don't they.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
Yeah, it's Alvin Schabola.

Speaker 11 (01:21:24):
I'm not aware of any of her, you know, significant
injuries involving starters right now, So you know, we'll see
how things unfold over next week, but as far as
I know, outside of Pegwa Shabola, Ohio State should be
pretty much at full strength for his game.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Yeah, yep, it's gonna be fun to watch. I know
it'll be fun to cover. Dan Hope eleven Warriors dot Com.
That's where you need to go. That's where you find
him and safe travels down to Dallas and hopefully we
get a chance to talk after that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
Thanks Dan, Yeah sounds good. Thanks so much worse.

Speaker 4 (01:21:53):
I I watched the Texas A and m Miami game.

Speaker 1 (01:21:58):
You probably did too. It's a tough's It's tough to
really grade Miami on that game. The wind was whipping.
It was just it wasn't a good day for offense
down there.

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
But they're good. Miami is no Patsy. I would suggest
that you take the nine and toss it in the river.
I think Ohio State wins this game and covers. It's
the feeling I got. I just think top to bottom
they're a better team. But I do think Miami is
playing really well. Obviously they're playing really well. It wouldn't

(01:22:32):
be here, but this is a team the latter half
of the season really came together. I think they're they're
they're gonna be a tough out for Ohio State. But
I think Ohio State wins.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
I think they cover to twenty seven on this Tuesday

(01:25:30):
here on seven hundred wlwa.

Speaker 4 (01:25:32):
Hendra came up that ball like an eighteen wheeler seg.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
The Bengals in that game are seven and a half
point favorites in that geam, I would hope. So one
of the more intriguing things is can Miles Garrett get?
You know how many sacks does Miles Garrett get? Because
you know they played against Pittsburgh Glasses right and Pittsburgh,
it would appear that the whole strategy was do not
let Miles Garrett get the sack record against US.

Speaker 9 (01:25:59):
I would hope that the Bengals. Bengals do the same
thing with number ninety five on Sunday and he doesn't
give a bone crushing sack to number nine.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
No, No, And he's had some success against the Bengals, right,
you know, I mean he's had he's had success. Yeah,
but Garrett's got twenty two sacks, right, correct, So he's
got to get one more sack and that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:22):
Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
So if I'm the Bengals, I'm like, Okay, what would
I rather do here? Would I rather win a meaningless game?

Speaker 8 (01:26:31):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
Would I rather keep Miles Garrett from getting the sack
record against me?

Speaker 4 (01:26:36):
No? Yes? And no. Well I'm just saying, I mean
you could do both, right, you could have both. Yes.
What I'm just saying that if you're the Bengals, what
is what I would think? Winning the game? You know?

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
And I'm Joe sacked a couple of times, you know,
he gets sacked, but you win the game.

Speaker 9 (01:26:53):

Very successful Indy car four time, four time, five hundred
champ doesn't get a better net.

Speaker 4 (01:29:33):
Remember what he ten oil Z seven special? Remember when
he broke his foot? Yeah, in qualifying and they sent
him home to Miami to rehab for two weeks. I'm
thinking to myself, there's no way in God's green Earth,
the guy with a broken foot, he's going to be
able to compete in any way, shape or for him
in an Indy car. He obviously didn't win the race

(01:29:53):
that year, correct, but I think he lasted the entire race,
if I'm not mistake.

Speaker 9 (01:29:56):
Truly a remarkable race car driver. That game, EHL and
the Professional Hockey Players Association Ken Brew reaching in a
settlement and everything's over with now the three day strike
took place, and now there the deal runs through twenty
twenty nine. In the twenty thirty season.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
We were on our knees praying for that. At least
it didn't last as long as the baseball strike or nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Absolutely not Sega. I got something by wanting to listen
to can we do this? Sure me what you think
of this song?

Speaker 4 (01:30:25):
Hit it?

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
I have it to think it's one of the greatest
recordings ever made. And of course it's the Electric Light Orchestra,
one of my favorite groups of all time, and of
course the lead singer would be a man named jeff Lynn.

Speaker 4 (01:30:40):
Remember jeff Lynn.

Speaker 10 (01:30:41):
Oh yeah, he was waiting for an operator on the line.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
Jeff Lynn is celebrating a birthday today. Jeff Lynn is
seventy seven nine years old today, probably still playing well.
He was supposed to have a big end of his
career concert last I believe it was last August, but
the night before he got into a taxi accident in

(01:31:13):
London and injured his hand boy and he couldn't answer
the bell for his final goodbye concert. But jeff Lynn
seventy nine years old today, Sir calling America. You know
what else we talked about? Davy Jones and Mike Nessmith. Yes, sir,
you know who was also born on this day, The
great man, the great singer from Battle Creek, Michigan, Del Shannon.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
Remember Del Shannon about that runaway? Yes, my little runaway.
That's right, Hot Wax. Very sad ending to his life.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
He took his life in nineteen ninety because he got
depression and whatnot. But you know us was Bo Diddley
was born on this day and only eight. This is
a big day music birthdays. Along with Sandy Cofax and
Tiger Woods.

Speaker 4 (01:32:02):
I'm telling there was something in the water. You're busy
back then, go back nine.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
Months from December, from December to thirtieth, at any given year,
somebody was listening to records. That's for sure. I point
all that out. Yep, you can't get this information anywhere else, Seg.
And no, wait, probably for a good reason. Why well,
ken Brew, Happy new year to you and everyone. Yeah,
happy new year to you, Seg. It's going to be

(01:32:28):
a great twenty twenty. I think it's going to be
a great twenty twenty six at the big one, I
really do.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
I think so too.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
I think you'll see some things happen in twenty twenty
six that'll make you scratch your head and say what
in the hell? Well, and then I think you'll see
some things in twenty twenty six that make you say, yeah,
I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:46):
That's why I listen to that station. There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
I think that's the way it's going to be, saying
I always go into a year with great optimism. Now
we know there'll be pitfalls along the way. The road
won't always be smooth, the road will always be something
that will be difficult to navigate. But We're going to
make that journey confident that we will get to our end,
and we're leaving no one behind for at the end

(01:33:08):
of it all. At the end of it all, sigl
w remains what it's always been, a shining beacon light
in Mason, Ohio. It's signaled cascading down for all the
world to heal.

Speaker 4 (01:33:26):
Couldn't have said it any better there, Ken, It's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
Kind of like a play on Ronald Reagan's convention speech
in nineteen eighty.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say.
