Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ohio State Athletics and the Communications Department. There a couple
of different stories popped overnight. Former Ohio state wrestler and
Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder was arrested as a part
of a prostitution sting what.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Are you doing, Kyle? Kyle? You got everything, man.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You won a gold medal, you won NCAA championships, you
won three world titles, and now this. So what had
happened was, you know, the cops will set up these
online ads soliciting for you know, the prostitution, and so
they got a text message answering one of the ads saying, okay,
(00:40):
let's meet at this hotel. So in in rolls Kyle Snyder.
He pays the undercarver officers some cash and they go
up to the hotel room where uniformed officers are waiting inside.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm guessing that.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Arrest lasted a little bit less than a first round
of a wrestlers guess what, Kyle?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Not good day for Kyle Snyder. So he has got
a court date in May nineteen. Why does he need
to do that? I don't have an answer he's got
I mean, you're a gold medalist, you figured that you know,
I don't know what he's up to these days. He
was actually he just signed with the Real American Freestyle
Wrestling League, So I don't know what that is or
(01:20):
what that pays or what. But h And then you've
got Kevin McGuff, Ohio State women's basketball head coach, was
charged with driving while intoxicated last week. This happened a
couple of days ago May sixth in Dublin. Uh So,
he he's got some issues and a court date as well.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And the May madness.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
He just won Big Ten Coach of the Year last
year for Ohio State women.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
He continuing to celebrate. Come on, guys, guys, come on now.
Not not a good look there.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So yeah, Ohio State Aflet Department, they're pr folks there are.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Probably getting calls out.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
We don't have comments on ongoing investigations, and we don't
talk about litigation.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So that's our answer. We're sticking to it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Good call at ten minutes after seven o'clock on the
Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line. He's our buddy,
he's our pal, he's our good friend. From the American
Principles Project dot org. Terry Shilling, Terry, good morning, how are.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I man, Good morning, min Thanks so much for having
me back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Absolutely one of our favorites all day long, Terry. President
Trump of course in the Middle East. Now on that
three day trip, he has just landed not long ago
in Saudi Arabia. But kind of taking a victory lap
a little bit for the US China trade deals, kind
of the tariffs being paused for a couple of days.
And we saw the stock market just get lit up
(02:41):
last night.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It's really great, right, It's great for a lot of
reasons though, right. You know, first of all, Trump gets
a lot of credit. He took a really tough scene
here against China, and he got attacked a lot, and
there were some moments where it seemed kind of shaky,
but he stuck with it. And now what now, China
has been forced to come to the negotiating table. And
(03:04):
I just want to be clear, Mike, this is a
temporary win. We don't know what the deal is like
yea going to be at the end of this, and
we still got to fight it. But this is just
such a great contrast between President Trump and the previous
administration that was Biden's administration was about weakness. It was
about letting the world tell America what we had to
go along with, and President Trump is showing no, America's
(03:26):
actually got some cards to play, and we can force
these guys at the table to protect American workers and
also our sovereignty. You know, I think the thing that
bugs me the most about this trade stuff is we
rely so much on these foreign countries to produce goods
that we actually need for our national defense, to run
our communications system. We need to bring some of that
stuff back home just for nancial security. So I think
(03:47):
this is a big win for Trump. He's proving all
the haters wrong again for like what the hundred times.
But we're gonna have to see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
What's wrong, Terry, with wanting all of that?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What is wrong with wanting to dominate, you know, the
fraudulent spending and waste in government and the stuff that's
doze is doing. What's wrong with fighting for what we
have in this country? What's wrong with wanting to you know,
make chips in this country or you know, produce our
own prescription drugs in this Why do Democrats have such
(04:20):
a problem with us putting us first?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Well, because it messes with their money and their power. Right.
The reality is is that the trillions of dollars that
we've been quote unquote wasting over the years has been
going to people. And these are the people that have
the trillions of dollars that we've been wasting right over
the years. So they've accumulated massive amounts of wealth, massive
amounts of power and influence, and they have huge bullhorns
(04:48):
in the media. But here's the thing, Mike, you talk
to regular people in the Midwest and through the rust Belt.
They love what Trump's doing. It's like you've never seen
a bigger diet in America between where the elites are at,
where the people, the people that have been benefiting for
all this crazy stuff and this corrupt system, and where
the American people are that have been getting the shafts right.
(05:10):
For lack of a better phrase, but that's what's happening.
So if there's nothing wrong with it, it's you're just
hearing a lot from the elites because they have the
loudest voices and they have a huge amount of influence
with the mainstream media, the legacy lamestream media.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, the legacy mainstream media. Yesterday was having a really
difficult time in framing this because they will they will
try to find a negative angle to it, and that
would be you know, involved in their headline and their story.
And you know you're looking at the CNNs and the
MSNBC's and all of the online outlets. I mean, they
they they were just beside themselves and trying to figure
(05:46):
out how to spend this in a negative fashion.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well they were. It wasn't supposed to work this way, right,
Liberation Day was supposed to lead to an economic apocalypse.
That's what they warned us of, you know, that's what
they said. They said, America wasn't going to have any
goods and services. We're gonna have to pay thirty seven
hundred dollars just for our iPhone. Well none of that
came to be. They were all proven wrong again, right,
and so they don't really And by the way, Mike,
(06:10):
I just want to say my dad was a one
term member of Congress from Illinois. He ran three campaigns,
actually four campaigns. The biggest attack that Democrats had against
him every election was that he wouldn't increase taxes on
companies that ship jobs overseas. And now the same Democrats
that run the Party are now defending tax breaks for
companies that ship jobs overseas. It's incredibly unpopular with the
(06:33):
Democratic base. You know, President Trump and his joint say that.
Unia you remember this, he said, I could come up
with the care to cancer and these Democrats over here
on the left, they still would have stand up and clap.
And that's so sad. Right, we should be all Americans.
We should be united when America wins. We shouldn't just
be lying and slandering people because they have power and
we don't.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, it's it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Politics has become a sport, as you well know, Terry,
and I've got my team, and you know they have
their team, and you know, dog on it. I'm going
to root for my team, and I hope your team loses.
But at the end of the day, we're all on
the same team, and we should be rooting for some
of these things.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It just makes so much common sense.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Terry Shilling, American Principals Project dot org. What do you
have going over there at app what's going on?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Dude? I'm so excited. So, you know, like we say,
we're like the NRA, but we do families. They don't
do guns, printal rights and kids Innocence. We're producing a
groundbreaking documentary on fatherhood called Fathers Wanted. I'm up in
Maine right now. We're doing some filming. I can't tell
you who it is yet, but it's gonna rock people's world.
I'm really excited for it. But you guys have to
stay tune.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Come on and talk about it when it's ready.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, let us know, reach out and we'll definitely give
you a couple of minutes on the air.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
So that's very exciting.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You can find Terry at American Principles Project dot org.
Have a great rest of your Tuesday, May friend, Thanks
for the time this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Thanks Mike. All right, it is about seven sixteen.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
The other story if you are looking for a job,
if your kid or grandkid is looking for a job
this summer, McDonald's announced they are hiring three hundred and
seventy five thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
People this year. Great way to make some extra cash.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That is, and more than twenty thousand of them here
in Ohio. The CEO of McDonald's was in Delaware County
along with the US Secretary of Labor yesterday to make
this announcement. And yeah, I mean, is it can you
live on a you know, thirteen dollars an hour at
McDonald's job. Probably not if you work your way up
(08:32):
to a manager or a general manager, Yeah, you can
absolutely live on that. So McDonald's is really starting to pop.
They have thirteen thousand restaurants in the US and they're
going to add about nine hundred to one thousand more
by twenty twenty seven. Thus the reason for the staff up.
I'm loving it, Dott and Lieutenant Governor coach President Jim Tressel.
(08:56):
I mean, let's get him all the titles he was.
He was in attendance in that meeting as well with
the Secretary of Labor and the CEO of McDonald's yesterday
in Delaware County.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Well that's a good call. Yeah, but yes, it's just look,
as you mentioned, we're living. It's not really supposed to be.
I don't think, like you said, unless you get to
a manager position. But this is a great way for
a kid in high school who wants some extra money
to travel or to do whatever, can work at McDonald's.
I see a lot of it nowadays. Whenever you're pull
up you see some of these younger kids, and you
(09:28):
know what, one of the things I've noticed and I
wanted to bring this up. The manners on these kids
when they're when they're serving, they do very well.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean they do.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
They're they're polite, they they're.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Happy, go lucky well.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But I mean I have seen some of these people
that are like and why am I living this life?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And they don't last long because you get you go
get a job. Now you're accountable to somebody. I feel
if these kids don't have a strong parental guidance at
home and they go get a job, that manager, you
know that a lot of times it's the franchise owner
that's working in there too with you. They don't care.
(10:05):
They if they get a complaint that you are rude
to a customer, you gone and you learn those manners
and you learn that accountability and you learn a skill.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And I think part of that is the way they've
been training these kids lately. I mean, I don't know
if you've noticed it. When they if they hand your receipt,
they say, hey, can you put an evaluation on here?
So they're testing to make to get it better. And
they've done so because the quality of the kids that
they're hiring is better.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You always hear about people saying, my first job was
at McDonald's, and you taught me how to be in
the workplace, and it taught me how to be a
good employee and be responsible and accountable for my actions.
And you know, you may not work at McDonald's the
rest of your life. That's fine, But as a first
job or a summer job. What McDonald says, we're hiring
three hundred and seventy five thousand people in the US
(10:51):
this year this year, and you're sitting on the sidelines going, oh,
I can't get a job, Well, then you're not trying
hard enough.
