Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, the Wizard of Oz ruby slippers sell for Are
you sitting down twenty eight million dollars? Whoa at auction?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Nike make them?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Now? No, these are these are the ones worn by
Judy Garland, a Wizard of Oz. How about that? I
mean you got to have twenty eight million extra dollars
where it's not going to hurt maybe buck, because that's
an investment, right, I mean, it's a.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I have to wonder how much of that is value
and how much of that is just sentimentality collectible?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Well, I can tell you this, the estimated value of
three million is what they were saying this far sur
past that and Congressman Jim Jordan's joining us. Now, were
you the buyer of these congressmen? Was that you? No?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
No, but I've I was not. I was not.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, yeah, I am twenty eight million dollars short of
being able to afford those.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
As close as I come to that was watching the
movie Wicked, right, and then that all ever get did.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
You watch that?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
We've liked that, we've seen the Broadway or you know,
we've seen the musical the production when it's we thought, well,
actually we saw in New York once and then we've
seen it like somewhere else, maybe Dayton. We always liked it.
I liked the music and uh, but yeah, I thought
the movie was good too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, so you did see the Ariana Grande I believe
is in the correct Yeah. My daughter, my daughter who's eighteen,
saw it and said she said it was the best
movie she's ever seen. I was like, I was just
staring at her when she said the best movie. It's like, what, Like,
what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
I mean, I liked it is a good movie. I
don't know if i'd go that far. I'm you know,
close with that's the difference, you know, Guys, we liked
what we'd like The Patriot and Glad. You know, we
like some of those kind of movies as well. So
but no, it was good. It was good, and I
love that. I love when it's uh the music. When
we've seen it on as the as the musical.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
The first time the touring company came through Central Ohio,
I got a chance to interview. They said, you want
to do a cast member. Sure, I'm hoping for you know,
the good Witch, the wicked Witch. You know it's wicked right.
They send me the Wizard by the guy who was
Larry on Three's Company.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was him, Yes, he was.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
He was my interview.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh see, I love and you had to stay about wicked, right,
you could talk to him about Three's company, right.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
We had to be about wicked.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh man, I would have said, hey, we'll get to
the wicked stuff in a bit. We got to talk threes.
I mean they probably told you ahead of time. No,
you're not giving Janet's number. No, well you know, yeah, no, that's.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
My company question right there, baby.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well soon that summer is really that difficult to work with.
She only made it a couple of season, you know,
I don't know. Yeah, that's my like, it's one of
my favorite sitcoms of all times. That's why when you
just said that, I didn't know this congressman, you know,
going on the air. So I'm finding out just now.
So I'm I'm trying to process this correctly because we're
live or whatever something. Yeah, it is, you were right.

(02:57):
These by the way, these things, in case you were
wondering about the ruby slippers, they were stolen from a
museum in two thousand and five, recovered by the FBI
in twenty eighteen, and they are they're the only uh
that says, one of only four surviving pairs from the
nineteen thirty nine film Wow. The bidding, which included the

(03:21):
Judy Garland Museum, was intense. The winning bidder remains anonymous,
ultimately paying thirty two and a half million dollars with fees,
and the slippers central to Dorothy's famous journey blah blah
blah hold the record for the most expensive piece of
entertainment memorabilia ever sold, and the previous was Marilyn Monroe's
white dress for five and a half million dollars. Yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
God, figure, go figure, Yeah, kind of interesting. What'd you say?
It took the FBI thirteen years? Thirteen years to find
the slippers. Maybe maybe at some point they'll tell us
you put cocaine at the White House. If you won't
take thirteen years, who knows.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
It's going to take twenty two years or longer. Kigrissman,
you know that. I mean, and look, we all know
whose it is anyway, we just can't say it out loud. Right,
Oh my gosh, man, Hey, how about the justice system
actually ended up working for one? Daniel Penny found not
guilty here today? Pretty good news, right.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I totally agree, because you know, we all, I mean,
I think about we have two boys, you think you know,
you like, you like think your boys would have taken
the same kind of thing, would have stepped in and
tried to keep this guy from harming other people. And
you know, let's so so you know, our system is
to work. We was other other high profile cases like

(04:41):
this you go through and it it tends to work,
and you know, it's the best system, certainly not perfect,
but the best system ever designed. And so it's good
to see what what happened here.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Hey, some of your people earlier were telling me, you know,
ahead of you jumping on with us, saying that you know,
you're finishing up the Rules Committee and all of that.
So what were you guys, if you can talk about
what exactly, Yeah, what were you working?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's the Judges Act, and it creates sixty six new
federal district judge positions over the next ten years. It's
designed to give each you know, each administration. So there's
I think twenty five the first and President Trompson then
in over ten years, so you get three additional presidents
who can do it. Pass unanimously out of the Senate,

(05:27):
it certainly needs a udicial conferences. It's needed, and we
think it's just a good kind of good common sense
thing that sort of nuts and bolt's part of government
creating these new judge positions because there's a backlog and
there's been the last time we created any judge positions,
it's been twenty some years. I think there's been like
thirty forty million new new Americans come into the country
since that time. So we think this is needed and

(05:49):
that's what we're talking about the Rules Committee.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, so what are your you know, this time of year,
is this typically the you know where it's it's kind
of dying down as far as you know what you
guys are trying, or is it actually you know, kind
of bring us into you know, what kinds of things
are going on.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah, there's two big bills. One is the build upon
the Government that's going to be for a short, short
time period again probably through March and late March. To
the bill. We tend to like that. It depends on
what gets put on it, whether we're all support it
or not, but we tend to like that because it
gives President Trump a chance to weigh in and and
the Senate in the hands of Republicans to weigh in

(06:27):
on what the remaining part of the fiscal year looks
like through through September thirtieth. So that's a bill that's
going to pass probably next week and be brought up
to the four next week. And then of course what's
called the National Defense Authorization Act in d A A.
You know, there's always acronyms here in DC, but that's
an important piece of legislation that lays out the framework

(06:47):
and authorizes certain things to be done with our military.
There's a pay raise in there for our troops. There's
there's efforts in there to stop some of the woke
things going on in our in our in our military
that Biden administration was pursuing. So we think that's probably
pretty good bill too. But those are sort of the
two big things that are happening here in the last
couple of weeks of this Congress.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, and then also I was looking on you know
X right now too in your post from a couple
of hours ago talking about the FBI spying on Americans
bank accounts, which I guarantee, Gario, Look, color me not surprised,
but more than fourteen thousand government employees accessed our private
financial data over three million times without a warrant, And yeah,

(07:31):
this report has got to be And look, I love it.
It's just like and I know you you it is.
There's formality to this the way that it's going. But
I'm sure Biden and his whole everybody's just going deny, deny, deny, no, no, no,
or is it undeniable at this point?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well no, I think it's I think it's the latter.
But remember this first came to our attention when we
had a FBI whistleblower tell us that after January six,
twenty twenty one, that the FBI send and request to
Bank of America saying, give it give us all the
debit and credit card information of any of your customers
in the Washington, DC area, any purchases debit card, credit
card they made January fifty six or seven, and then

(08:09):
overlay that with any gun purchases they've made at any
time in their life. And you're like, holy cal you're
not allowed to do that. And then we find out
this this bill called the Banks I think misnamed the
Bank Secrecy Pacts passed many years ago, is anything but
because it encourages banks when they see something suspicious to
file these reports. But what's happening is now it's not

(08:30):
just banks making the decision, it's the government pushing the banks. Hey,
do you have any information on this, like what the
FBI did with Bank of America. And then this information
comes into a central database that's held in the Treasury Department,
and all kinds of government officials can access it. And
we learned in twenty twenty three, as you said, fourteen
thousand government officials three million times, we're snooping through this

(08:53):
stuff looking at your bank purchases. And that is not
how it's supposed to work in our country. You want
to go look through some people's information, you're supposed to
go get a warrant from a separate, equal branch of government,
not just have the private sector handed over to the
executive branch.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
So also too incredibly interesting, man, there are so many
moving parts and things going on right now with this
current administration. A lot of people are are afraid, I
guess that's the best word to use. A lot of
people are afraid at what is going to happen with
this administration on the way out. I don't know exactly
how many days we have left to get to January twentieth.

(09:28):
I know he can't get here soon enough. But the
pre yeah, we talk about the pardon info and now
there's all this talk of the pre pardon stuff card
I know, what is so? What is the latest? Is
this real? I mean, could this real? Can he really
do this? I mean, what are your thoughts on this?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
No. I saw a good piece by Jonathan Turley, a
constitucial scholar. Uh Turley, and he he thinks this is
almost like the left and their and their continued push
to create this, thaying like, well, president Trump is going
to do X, Y and Z and all this scare stuff,
when it's like, well, if President Trump was was the
kind of president to exact retribution, well, for goodness sake,

(10:10):
he sure didn't do it his first term. And the
obvious target was Hillary Clinton and what she did with
you know, her campaign, paying their law firm Perkins Coooye,
who hired Fuson GPS, who hired the foreigner Christopher Steele,
who put up the put together the fake dossier that
they used to you know, to go to the prize
of court and spy on President Trump's campaign. That's who.
But he didn't do it. And I think he said
in the big interview we had this weekend with Meet

(10:32):
the Press, he said, you know, the best retribution is winning.
The best restribution is success for the country, not going
after you know, your so called enemies, as the left
likes to frame it. So I just I mean, they
I've never seen a preemptive pardon, but two knows they
might try it. They tried all kinds of other things.
We'll see, but I think it makes absolutely no sense.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah. And the thing too with that is, you know,
if they're doing this and they know that they are
in it, if there wasn't anything, why are they so
worried about that?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Then?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
You know, that seems to be the obvious to me.
It's like if you are you know you're guilty of something,
if you start pre pardoning people, because if you're not
guilty and you trust the court system, like you have
said over and over President Biden, then why would you
worry about this? It is It is so laughable to me.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
It always seems like the old adage that you know,
they always accuse, accuse us of what they're up to
there they want, you know, when it comes to politics
and retribution. It sure seems like that's what they did.
And now they're trying to flip it around because they
went after I mean, they tried to use the fourteenth
Amendment to say that President Trump couldn't even run, and

(11:46):
that went all the way to the Supreme Court, and
the Supreme Court said nine to zero, I mean, the
three liberal judges said no, you can't do this. This
is ridiculous. That's how political they they got. And yet
now they're saying, oh, we're that there are going to
be political and there's going to be retribution. One. It's
been just the opposite. And all you have to do
is look at Jacksmith's, Alvin Bragg, Bonnie Willis, and those

(12:07):
ridiculous cases against President Trump, and a bunch of other
cases against others as well. But the primary examples, of course,
are what they try to do to President Trump.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Amen to all that, man, of course, we'll be watching
and so on. But Congressman Jim Jordan, thanks for jumping
on with us. Appreciate it. You bet. Take care, guys,
Take care, traffic and weather together from day and night.
