Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, I know, slacker.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
The guy doesn't want to come back in in the
afternoon to another radio show. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I
know that. So he's got he's got the week off.
So I've got the revolving door of guests this whole
week on the show, just because well that's the kind
of guy I am. And today, Bob A doo check, oh,
buddy of mine is hanging out.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And I appreciate you coming in.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I know you're busier than a one legged man and
an ass kicking contest these days right on Plazer.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
But you know what this is like, I get energized
after I coming into your show. It's such an effervescent experience.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Efferves There is a word I did not realize would
be used in conjunction with describing me, and and I'm
involved in anything with that, but I like it.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Think it sounds better than just saying you're bubbly.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It does because uh yeah, I haven't been described as
bubbly either.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'll just say that those are both words that energy.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Let's let's stay with something mad Hi, high energy.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I love it. I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't know if you were listening, but and I
got to tell this to Congressman Jim Jordan's going to
join us here in a couple of hours as he
usually does on Mondays. But I got to tell him
the story. And I don't know if I if you
heard me say it talking about it on the air
or whatever. But he's a golfer too. Now I know
you're a golfer. I'm a golfer, and we've golfed together
in outings and stuff. So a week ago today I
(01:27):
played Mierfield. Did you happen to hear the story or no?
So there was a shotgun start and I was getting
ready to tell you this before we jumped on the air,
but I thought, you know what, I'll just tell you
real quick while we're on.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So we start on sixteen. It's a part three.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Have you ever played Mierfield or have you ever watched
the tournament there?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, Attorney, Yeah, sixteen is a.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Part three and we were in a shotgun tournament. So
we all it's where you all start on you know
how that go?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, So we started on sixteen. And if you're listening
and you already heard this, sorry, you get to hear
it again. I'll speed it up so you don't have
to hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But I'm with Dave Holmes, who is the sports guy
on Channel six, and then two other guys that are
friends of his are from Toledo, and what it was
was a work day kind of because they sponsored the tournament,
so the people who volunteer and work for work day
it was part of their tournament. And then we were
make goods because it was media right, they let us.
(02:19):
They invite us out yearly to play there before the tournament.
It's all part of a media outing and so on.
So we go there. They paired me up with those
guys and we're on sixteen and it was playing one
hundred and sixty three yards and there's a water short
left or if you pull it left at all, all
the way the whole distance, it's gone.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's in the water.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So the first two guys go that are from Toledo,
both of them are on They hit it on the green.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And so Dave Holmes goes, Blazer, you go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So I tee it up and I hit it and
two bounces bunk off the.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Stick and then sits down next to the hole. It
didn't go in. I almost sat a hole in one
I'm so mad.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm like no, because I've never had a hole in one,
and I thought, boy, it would be nice. And when
someone's like you ever had a hole you know, do
you play with I'm one of those guys like I'll
end up playing at you know, any course, but I
typically am never in a foursome, so they put me
with strangers and they'll be like, you ever had a
hole in one? You know? That's one of the conversations
with people when they pair you up with strangers whatever.
(03:21):
And I would have been able to be like, yeah,
I had one hole in one on sixteen at.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Airfield, Yeah what about stay?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It stayed out, But they were like, you're not putting
this getaway and they like swatted the ball away. It
was like, you know, taping so but starting one under
and then the wheels fell off. After that, I was like,
ninety five is what I ended up shooting. But that
course is as you know, you get off the fair way. Yeah,
and it's it's brutal. I was in the I was
(03:51):
in I think about seventy percent of the traps there.
I think I was in the bunkers. That rough is
so brutal, it was it's something else. But what a
special special place that is the course that Jack built.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I mean it's so special.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
We see it every year, you know, the pros come there,
Tigers wanted a bunch of times, Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The last two years. I mean, it's it's just nice.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's a special place, and you, being a golfer, I
knew you would appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I do. I'd have been really happy. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I was beside myself right then. There's no footage, but
I did have witnesses, so there's that, and it's the
sports guy at that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, then that's actually right.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And he hits the ball, Dave h it's the ball
really good, actually, uh so, and he hits it pretty long,
so you know, but it was it was fun.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It was a great time.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And I know you have there's like a an outing
coming up, you know next month that you.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Are Fraternal Order Police and they raise money for their foundation.
I've got zero chance of getting a hole in one.
I just I don't golf that much as my brothers.
I had one, so you know, there's that.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And that is just one of those things that's eluded
me all his I've holed out on my second shot.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You go off a lot more than I do.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That. Well, I played yesterday and it was so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was so bad, right, I don't I've got a
thing going with my left like elbow and arm.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't know it was, but it was just really bad.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yesterday I played at north Star and it was it
was But that was my sixth time this year. I
haven't played very much this year well, and three of
them were in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So well, people may not know this about you, but
you're pretty competitive, so I know you take that stuff
pretty seriously.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I try. Yeah, I feel like, if I'm going to
do it, I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I want to try to be as good as I
can without you know, getting too overbearing. I don't practice
enough so I can't go out there and be like,
oh no, you're like, oh shut up, you shot eighty
knock it off. Jordan was just on with Clay and
Buck and this was like last week, and Chuck told
me this because he heard it, and he goes, hey,
just so you know, and Jordan's ask him about the
(06:00):
eighty one he shot with his brother, So he just
played recently.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But I guess Jordan's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I keep trying to tee it up with him. I
play with Balderson a bunch of times. Yeah, but I've
never played with with Jim Jordan. But one of these
times maybe maybe you know, kind of a thing. But so, yeah,
so you were you were speaking all those guys. So
you were in d C last week.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, and I saw my good friend, uh Secretary christinome
Department Homeland Security. Very you know, they've been doing a
great job with the border, on the you know, shutting
down the border, making it secure. They had like zero
getaways in the month of that's instinct.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That is insane when you think about the previous.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Administry and you look at all of the tremendous success
that they've had on the border, and and you have
to most people don't realize this, but it was very underfunded.
I mean they were doing that all of that the
first six months of the minister beautiful bill, right. Yes,
this is all on a shoestring budget. It was the
previous budget before where they you know, they weren't doing
(07:06):
anything about hiring new ice officers, they weren't doing anything
about you know, they weren't using the wall money to
build anything. And so they've really like gotten a lot
done in short period and now with a big beautiful bill,
I mean they they're going to really be able to
do some serious progress.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
She's super super engaging in addition to being Look, I'm
just gonna say it, she's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Everybody knows that. And I'm not over here like horn dog.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
She's beautiful and she's super engaging for somebody who might
be looking at because you see all this stupid stuff
all over socials, like you know, Barbie Doll, Noome.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know, and all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's like, look, don't be mad at her because she
had she what do you wanted to make herself uglier?
I mean, you know, try to be ugly. It's I
hate that she has to deal with that. And I'm
sure at some point you know she's this or that
about that. But I will tell you the thing I
was bringing up about super engaging. Now you know or
you're friends with her, right, she was here when she
was governor, speaking out of Lincoln Reagan Day dinner.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, and that's when I met her.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
She was super, super nice and I was begging her,
you know, I was like, uh, well I'll stop there,
but I just she was super cool.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
We stood there and chatted for a while. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But I she's man really really cool and she didn't
know me from Adam. You know.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, here's the thing about her, you know, because she's
very very good administrator. She runs that department. It's a
huge it's a department of departments. It's very complicated, and
she does a good job with this. So you think
about all the stuff they're doing with immigration, and then
they're also responsible for FEMA, And I think one of
her greatest strengths is, you know, she has the ability,
(08:49):
you know, being a mother and a grandmother, to go
down in the Texas where the horrific disaster was and
console those families and to deal with that situation in
a much different way than you know a man would
do or anything like that. That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, but.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
She is, she's fantastic. I know, the President's really happy
with her performance because again she and the entire team
over there at DHS are doing a great job on again,
so many different fronts because they have CPB, they have ICE,
they have FEMA, they have Secret Service, they have all
it's a huge, huge department.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Speaking of that, Tom Holman, did you see him get heckled. Yeah, dude,
I like he's a guy. Like I'm watching that and
I'm going because of who he is, and I know,
yeah speaking of secret Service, I mean he's uh. I
think there could be as many people or more as
(09:48):
that are after President Trump, as far as that want
to do him harm.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
He might be right there.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Like second in line people are so on the left
and people who are just well, i'm gonna say it,
they're flat out idiots. They're idiots. They do not understand
what is happening right now. And for them to try
to say, you know, we keep seeing why did the
ice agents have to wear masks and all this, it's like,
you guys, you were the dumbest people on earth, you know,
(10:17):
if you have to ask these questions.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
So point being, he gets heckled by the a.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Protester that that Conservative summit turning point, turning point, that's it. Yeah,
And so the kid whoever it was said, are you
an MS thirteen gang member?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
What it didn't even make sense, it's you know what
I mean, Like, yeah, I was just like I was.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Trying to find the correlation because I didn't understand.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, and here's the thing, Blazer it's not just like
these folks that are like hecklers or protesters or anything.
There are Democratic elected officials, the mayor of Los Angeles,
the governor of California. That part is members of Congress
that are like, it's unacceptable, it's just amazing, it's just amazing.
(11:05):
Too far.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Are we all on the same team here, because clearly
the answer is no, but.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It should be yes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah. I mean, when you talk about bass and everything going,
Newsome and you're right, the whole state of California, can
we just get a big saw and saw them loose
and they can be their own country.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's so dumb what's happening over well, I don't think it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I mean, it's not the people out there, it's it's
they they elect these folks. Yeah, and you know, but really,
how much of an election can you have when there's
not really a choice?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And and again, you know, there's a lot of craziness
going on in the Democratic Party. I honestly you have
to wonder if it's mental illness or what. It's just
that none of the stuff makes sense, some of the
things that they're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What was Secretary GNOME's reaction to uh that raid on
the on that the weed harvesting that site in California.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I didn't get a chance to that happened athlete Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Dude, there were fourteen children.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The legacy media does they're talking about the guy that
fell off the roof. They're trying to get away. Why
are you trying to get away? It's the first question.
But okay, it's awful that a human life was lost.
Whether he was here illegally or not. That's self inflicted.
The ice didn't throw him off the roof. I mean,
and then when you watch them trying to leave. You know,
(12:29):
I was telling Chuck this on the air last week.
I said, how is it that I said the restraint
that they are and this is before the President said that,
by the way, I said, the restraint they are exercising
is off the charts. I said, I don't understand. Those
are federal agents. If you did that to Columbus police
(12:50):
driving by, your ass is going to jail. If you
throw a brick at their car when they're driving by,
they're gonna get out and taze you, maybe shoot you.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And I'm watching them vehicle after and those guys are
just teeing off like throwing stuff, and I go, what
is happening? And then President Trump's like, you have the
full authority, and I thought, wow, the restraints off the charts.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It's it's craziness. Craziness that's happening.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean when you saw that stuff, you were you
saying that to yourself when you're watching them get pelted
by when they're trying to leave and people go. And
this is another thing too, like when when you know
you'll see on social ICE is just doing their job. Yeah,
and so we're the al Schwitz at Alschwitz and I'm like,
what kind of a comparison you this, dude. As you
(13:42):
can tell, I'm getting worked up. This is the this
is the dumbest thing over and over that we have
to keep going over and over and over with. And
the left is leading this in the media.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
And the worst part about this is that they like
make these uh unsubstained, cheated claims that they're throwing people there,
they're not wearing any uh that that ICE officers aren't
representing themselves, identifying themselves, that they're like plane white vans
where people are getting kidnapped off the street and thrown
(14:14):
They make these statements in the in very few people
in the media say, well, wait a minute, give me
an example of one of these incidents where this has happened,
and they just don't. I just don't believe it's true
because because I bet if there was an incident like
that where there were people that had masks on that
were government agents that weren't identifying themselves, that we have
(14:35):
seen it on TV by now on MSNBC or see.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, brother, there's cameras every well.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So until they come back with some proof, Hakeem Jeffreys
should shut up until he gives an actual example of
one of these incidents where it's like, you know, uh,
people in in you know, unidentified arresting people.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
They try to make it like you've got some hispanic
you know, man or woman standing on a street corner. Yeah,
and they roll up in a white van, jump out
with a hood, throw the hood over there, you know,
like some stuff you see in a movie when they're
kidnapping people, throw them into the van, slam the door,
and go screeching off. Yeah, that's the way they're portraying this.
(15:20):
And the average person, Bob in America knows that's not
what's happening. Yeah, but the mainstream media it wants to
continue to try to paint this this erroneous picture of it,
and the left, like you said, they're all checking the boxes.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
King Jeffries, how dare you that is so?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That is so just unbelievable that something he's okay with
portraying it that way is irresponsible.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I mean it just shows you that they have two
so little to actually campaign on on their own, they
have no other agenda than anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And like I said, I've said this before, maybe even
on this program, Trump cure cancer and it wouldn't be
good enough for her people. They'd be like, no, we
got to bring cancer back or something.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So this is kind of an interesting What day was that?
It would have been.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Saturday?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Saturday Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
We were in Ostrander for Stones baseball game, and man,
the storms were all around us.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
But we kept dodging them.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We get about three I don't know, three innings or
so in And when I tell you that the torrential
is an understatement, I mean it was. My mother was
with us, and Jenny and I were hovered underneath one
(16:49):
of the umbrellas. This was that rain when you looked
off into the distance. It looked like fog, but it
wasn't fog.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It was rain.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I mean I couldn't see to our car from where
we were standing. And finally the wind started picking up.
Josephine was with us. Her umbrella flipped the other way.
And when that happened, I go. My mom was like
sitting in a folding chair with the umbrella over top
of her, and I just I go, Jenny, take the
(17:21):
umbrella and I go out. I go, Ma, we gotta go,
we gotta go. Like it was like I felt like
I was in a movie. I mean, it was crazy.
And then Marshall, it was like, you know, everyone was soaked.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I mean it was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And I remember you going, yeah, if you're underneath one
of these when.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's gonna dump, and man, did.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It holy cow that I haven't been caught in that
kind of range since I was a kid, And I
mean it it was nuts.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It was we were at a friend's birthday party at
a pool and I'm watching the radar and I'm just
like and and you know, the cloud I'll start getting
dark and foreboding, and I'm looking at the radar and
I'm like, we've got about ten minutes here, and sure enough,
I'm like, hey, yeah, it's time to get out.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Of the pool.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
And they're like, wait, now, it's great, it's gonna miss us.
I'm like, it's not gonna miss us. And as if
on que there was thunder. I'm like, that's it. Out
of the pool.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know what I think is hilarious about this story
is people are arguing with you, and you were like.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Do you know what I do for a limbing? Do
you know?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Do you understand the training I've had, I'm able to
disseminate the all of the information.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Get out of the pool of the pool. Yeah, that's
my pool. I'm not kidding out of that. I get out.
I'm ordering you out of your own pools. Get out.
I don't want to witness you dying. Now get out.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
And yeah, and within a few minutes it was just
tropical torrential down pours.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And you know, twenty minutes later it was done.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yea, And so you know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
This, so ours and Ostrander did last longer than that,
I will say that, but I can tell you, within Lily,
five to eight minutes, the entire field was underwater.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I mean it was that much rain and it felt.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I don't know what the numbers are, you'd have to
look it up, but it was a guarantee. More than
at least an inch of rain fell in twenty minutes,
or maybe twenty five somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
It was unbelievable the amount of rain that dumped on us.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
So we have that happening in southeastern Ohio today. So
in parts of eastern Athens County, we've had two to
three inches of rain in less than three hours. So
a flash flood warning is in effect until five point
forty five for a lot of Athens County. Some storms
are still making their way through there. They're moving east
pretty quickly, but a brand new cell just popped up
(19:43):
north of Johnstown, and we may see a few more
of those pop up yet this afternoon and this evening.
And again, if you get under one of these, it
can be really really wet, really fast. But a few
miles away it's dry and sunny, so we're gonna leave
that chance in the forecast at least through sunset tonight.
Otherwise partly cloudy, muggy, some isolated fog in the morning.
(20:05):
Seventy for the low tomorrow and the next day, and
the next day, they're partly cloudy skies. It's muggy eighty nine,
feeling like mid nineties and a chance for pomp up
storms in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
All right, Marshall, thank you it is eighty five right now.
Thank you for listening the Mark Blazer Show. Chuck is
on for Mike Elliott and Columbus Morning News all week.
So he is off, Bob Pa, do check in studio
with me today. And so while Marshall was speaking just there,
were you looking at the TV? Did you see the headline?
It was Mark Cuban is blasting in the Democrat. Yeah,
(20:40):
that is telling you something when you say a guy
like Mark Cuban, and let's face it, he's mister DEI
woke guy. I think he's okay with men competing in
women's sports. You know, he checks a lot of those
very incredibly liberal boxes. He's telling the Democrats, Yeah, your
messaging is off, and all we can do is pray
(21:02):
that they continue down this road so they will get
their asses.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Handed to them yet again. Whenever it's it's a chance
to have that happen. It's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Look, I think there's like a self fulfilling prophecy here.
To a certain extent, and and and here's what I
mean is like the radical left runs a Democrat party.
I mean to the extent that they're not necessarily in
all the positions of power. But you can't go off
the reservation as a Democrat when it comes to Trump
(21:32):
and some of these other issues. And I think there
is a frustration going on with a radical left that
there Trump said, all these wins, the big beautiful Bill
Scotus wins exactly, Peace and prosperity, you know, job creation.
You know, we ought to be reducing in interest rates
because inflation's holding.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You know, that's a whole Yeah, I got that next dollar.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Jerome Poal needs like, yeah, all these great things are
going on, and I think they're just getting more and
more frustrated, and they're lashing out at Democrats.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
In Michael quote Charlie Sheen winning remember that, but yeah,
that's right, he just keeps winning.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah. In Cuban's not yeah, and he's just not a
d I guy, He's like a Democrat icon. I mean
a lot of those Hollywood types are like that. There
are big players on the Democratic Party, and I think
they're getting very, very frustrated with what's going on.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
So how much do they pay attention to someone like
Mark Cuban because clearly he has a ton of money
and he's a guy who's helping facilitate you know, I
don't know, I mean I don't I don't know exactly
what he's contributed, but he is a guy that contributes,
he helps, and I wonder how much of that they
listen to with a guy who's doing because he has
to say so correct.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I mean, well, yeah, but this wants on who the
they is? Yeah, I mean, you know, uh, everybody gets
this idea that the party bosses run things, and there's
a former party boss. I got to tell you it's
it's just not true.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
He runs it.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
The people do, the donors party, No, not the donors,
but the rank and file. What people don't realize is
that that, like a lot of times, politicians are just
reacting to their base voters, what their base voters want,
and so it's hard to stray off. And so you
got a lot more Republicans that will stray one way
or the other than in the Democrat Party. It's pretty
(23:23):
rigid there. And right now, the rigid voices in the
Democrat Party are being told you got to be anti
Trump on everything. You got to be pro illegal alien,
you got to be you know, pro DEEI. You got
to be pro men and women's sports. But isn't that
you can't you can't stray from that Otherwise in the
Democrat primary, you're going to you're gonna get challenged in
(23:45):
the Democratic primary.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
But isn't that the worst advice ever? Given what happened
in November? You know that, like, first of all, the
illegal aliens, and you can call them whatever you want,
they're here illegally, okay, so whatever, how whatever you want
to call them, they're here illegally. I love their talking point,
which is they didn't do anything, they're not breaking the
(24:07):
law while they're here, so why are they going after them?
And you go, they're breaking the law because they're here illegally.
So it's so funny how they go, well, that doesn't
really count, and it's just like, well it counted for
about seventy five million people because they voted for a guy.
And I love how they keep posting they say did
you vote for this? And they'll show a clip of
(24:29):
Ice arresting and it's like, yes, yes, that is what
we voted for. That's what America voted for because they're
tired of seeing what happens in Chicago and go down
the list of all these blue cities where it's just
idiocy that is overtaking public and we're watching the regular
American citizens, citizens who are here contributing to taxes, paying
(24:54):
their taxes and doing all these things. They're tired of
what the illegals were getting away with. They finally said,
that's enough, this is a guy that we want. Maybe
they held their nose, some of them and voted because
they go, it's for the it's for my family. It's
safer for my family if we start to get these
people out of the United States, because we've seen the
(25:16):
types of you know, heinous crimes that they commit when
you're here. But is that to say that every one
of them is doing no, No, it's not to say that.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Every one of them, every one of them is doing that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
But as a result along the way, if they pick
you up, you still got to go if you're not
here legally. And it's just funny how they that's the
worst advice ever, that they have to be those things
you were saying in order for them to try because
I feel like that's in an echo chamber with regard
to the people that are going to vote for them. Yeah,
(25:51):
they would vote for fill in the blank who believes
in that. But depending on the city, you might be
in big trouble trying to use that as your platform.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know, well, it definitely, but you know again, you know,
the base is so angry. They're so angry at Trump,
They're so angry at whatever else that they just they're
not thinking straight. The base of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, man, it's crazy to watch this play out. And
you've been in you've been around politics and in politics
a long time, and have you seen anything this extreme
ever in the history of.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What you've witnessed? Never?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
No, I mean, it has to be the craziest times.
It is. It is. It'll be fascinating to see what happens.
I mean because part of me is a little bit
of a political scientist on it. How the Democrats draw
themselves out of this, like, you know, quicksand for lack
of a better term, Yeah, I don't know how they
get out of it.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I like it political quicksand is that's a perfect description.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Chuck is off this week.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
He's on for Mike Elliott and Columbus Morning News in
the morning. He's doing that and uh, and that's why
he's not on right now. So just f y, I
yesterday was one year since the president was shot. Well
at the time he was a candidate, but yeah, we're
(27:16):
talking now current. So yeah, the president was shot one
year ago yesterday in Butler, Pennsylvania. And so there are
there are so many different theories with you know, what
exactly happened. First and foremost, last week was the first
time we found out that there was any kind of reprimand.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
With the Secret Service.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I mean, we saw the people that and it was
I mean, it was bizarre to me.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And I don't want to put words in your mouth
because I don't know how much you're allowed to even
say or think.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I know what you think. I think, but maybe you
know I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't know, and I didn't ask you ahead of
time with regard to types of things you're allowed to
speak about with regard to this. But it is a
head scratcher the way that this has been processed from
the very get go with this shooter who you know,
committed this, they smoke him and then that's it. He's
cremated before and everyone's like, what, like, what happened. It's
(28:16):
so bizarre the way this whole thing has played out.
And now there's information surfacing that the United States Secret
Service knew Trump was in danger before the rally. They
did nothing, I maintain, And it's not like this is
some you know, hot take, but I feel like it
was some sort of an inside something. It's just again,
(28:40):
having a year to process this and to hear about
different facts that have kind of surfaced and the ones
which have not surfaced, which I think is even more
telling that there there is this whole thing stinks. It
feels like it feels like a cover up. It feels
like an inside job. All of those Where were you at?
(29:01):
And I may have asked you this before, but where
were you? I guess it's a long So. It was
a Saturday. Yeah, I was coming home from drill and
got a phone call or I was on the phone
with my wife or something. She told me and said, oh,
the President's been shot. And I, like, usually always have
the radio on. For some reason, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I may have been doing a series of phone calls them,
but I turned it on and I'm like, geez it,
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
So you were traveling listening to continuing coverage while you
were traveling driving.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, I mean I turned on the radio immediately. I
wasn't with the campaign or anything like that, but I
turned on the radio, got home, turned on the TV,
and was like, just like everybody else, developing as it
was going.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Because I remember sending you a note and it was
a while before I heard back from you. But I'm like,
what do you know and all of this, and You're like,
I don't know him anymore than.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You know, Yeah, trying to find out it's hard. In
most of the people that I would.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Call, Yeah, they were all like, yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Last thing they need to do is hear from me.
And there, you know, and a lot of them were
running around. You know, they got them out of there
as soon as they got the president out.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
So as it started to unfold and you're watching that
day and after you kind of started gathering a lot
of the immediate facts that were available, I mean, what
what were the things that were going through your head
during that time? I mean, you know President Trump pretty well.
I mean you've been to Mara a Lago, You've you know,
(30:37):
you helped them win Ohio twice.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I mean, you know, I mean what kinds of.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Things during that and clearly you realize, oh, he's gonna
be okay. Once you realize that, then you start kind
of going down the checklist like.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
How did this happen? How did the breakdown occur?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Well, first first thing to unpack on that is like
you saw right there and there like everything I know
about the guy that I've known for him for all
the time i've known him. But he got up fight, fight,
fight defiant. He took a shot at me. I'm still here,
I'm still fighting. That's that's him, That's the essence of him.
(31:18):
And you know, I talked to him because the convention
was the following week, and I saw him a couple
of times during the convention, and you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Know, he still had the bandage on the white Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I mean, look, I remember him when I talked to
him when he was going through the first impeachment thing,
and it doesn't sound like it's that big of a
deal because they've tried to impeach him twice.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, but it's a little lackluster at that point. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
But even at the first time, it was like one
of those things that as it was going on. It
seemed like just as much of a thing as this,
and he seems don't bother him.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Right? But you know what, that's characteristic of somebody who
has what he has and as able water off a
duck's back if you will.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Well, you have to be you can't take the stuff personally.
You got to be moving forward. You got to be
focused on what needs to be done.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And that's a leader, right.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I said, a lot of people over the years in
politics that couldn't have couldn't have handled a fraction of
what he's handled is his entire political career, which is
a little over nine years now.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
It's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
It's fascinating because it's been like dog years quite frankly, Yeah,
it feels like he's been at it sixty years, right,
And that's part of But I think his ability to
process these things like it's just another that's just another
obstacle that was thrown at at me. And guess what,
I hurdled it now and here we are, let's go,
(32:46):
let's keep going. I mean, he's not a guy to
sit and be like oh. And I think he did
some reflecting after that. It looked like it anyway during
his speech, but he was compassionate about Corey, and you know,
you had a great guy that was taken out clearly,
And that was the thing I was telling you during
the during the breakout.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
To watch on social media.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
And I even saw this yesterday when I was golfing,
and I said to my cousin who I was playing with.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I'm like, look at these idiots. They're saying that was staged.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
They're still trying to do that, And I'm like, tell
Corey's widow, tell her that it was staged. Tell his
kids that it was staged. They don't have a dad anymore,
she doesn't have a guy, the love of her life anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
How is that staged? Like? What what is staged? Like that?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
They like you said, the guy is such a great
shot that he goes Yeah, I was just trying to
fire a warning shot and not really take him out
and then kill the guy behind him.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Who has turned to It's like, what are you talking?
How are you saying it's stage still?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Well, the people that are saying that, it just shows
how much they've degraded down to this idiocracy. I mean, honestly,
you know, we were talking about all the violence and
stuff going against ice officers and police officers and things
like that. I mean, you know, you look in the
context of this, it's just like it's all the same thing.
It's just like an alternative reality that these folks live
(34:15):
in where something else is going on that isn't what's
going on in real life.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Do you do you because I do this all the time,
and I have this conversation with my wife too. But
we'll say about a situation where okay, let's say it's facts,
like what happened with them trying to take President Trump's
life and the facts of the situation. Yet there are
(34:42):
people saying it was staged, it wasn't real. He's he's
embellishing with the bandage on his ear. Now they'll be
close up shots of that ear and they'll say the
cartilage doesn't regrow. I mean, there's And I say to
my and we'll have the conversations like, how is that
(35:03):
It's not an opinion that he was his life was
attempted to be taken.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's not an opinion. There is no take quote unquote.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
And that's the thing that I struggle the most with
with a lot of things that happen with this current president.
There are facts, and I get it if you want
to have an opinion about his policies or what have you,
but you can't argue different facts.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yet they try to just ignore fact. That's you can't.
How do you fight against that?
Speaker 3 (35:34):
You can't and you can't, which is leads you to like, well,
how does it all get fixed and back to what
it was before?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I don't know the answer to that, And I don't
know that there is.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
A way to get back to that because it's a sickness.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yeah, exactly. Some people have a mental health there's a
mental health problem in this country.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
You know.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
And I don't know if you saw Rosie O'Donnell what
she but here's a where she's like, I'm living rent
free and his do you think what President Trump? He's
trolling you, Rosie. He's trolling You're not living rent free.
And I promise you she doesn't. She moved on Ireland.
She's the one that talks about him all the time.
(36:16):
She's the one that I mean, she has a podcast
or whatever. She's always talking about him. And she tries
to go, you know, you're I'm living rent free in
your head and she makes it like and I'm like,
don't you understand this is just that's a side thought
for him, that's something for him to do.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's a troll.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
He's trolling you like he's trolling a lot of other people.
It's mind over matter, Rosie. He doesn't mind because you
don't matter. I mean, it's just the weirdest thing. How
people that Trump arrangement centrum never a more real thing
ever said in history, or more of a real thing.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I do want to get to.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
The Democrats lining up for the twenty eight presidential race.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I think the.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Guy that probably is in the lead for them would
be Gavin wouldn't you think you would? And I just
want your thoughts. I mean, again, I don't know how
much you've even thought about it. But they start listing
the potential candidates here for the twenty eight race. Gavin
is the first one that they mentioned, which isn't it
(37:30):
wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Which is strange because you think it would be Kamala
Harris see.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I really yeah, Well you're taking me by surprise by
saying that, because I feel like they I think the
Democrats by and large think think wait a second, think
about how much money you are a campaign guy? Think
about how much money was spent on her to try
to get her across the finish line and look out badly,
(37:55):
she got her ass kicked.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
So so let me put it in terms of mainstream.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Media, all this stuff, famous people Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Maybe put it in terms that you understand. Okay, So,
so a team that has been to the World Series
has a better chance of winning this World Series than
the team that's never been to the World Series. Would
you agree with that statement?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, okay, let me wait, I can. I will, but
let me say I understand that statement. But you also
are talking about a team that's been to the World
Series that has talent well, and that I deserve to
be the team that was opposing the other team.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
She didn't deserve to be there well, but she was
handed that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
To be the Democrat nominee, she doesn't have to win
the presidential election, She just has to win a Democrat primary.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
She didn't even win that I understand, was handed to it.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying that she knows all
the donors her name idea is higher than Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I think they all knew she's an idiot.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Look, I'm just saying her name idea is higher than
Gavin Newsom's. She knows a lot of the donors and
different people. She has an inherent advantage. On paper, she
has an advantage. And if you're gonna I mean, if
you're gonna rank these, I'm just explaining you.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
How No, I love it that we're having this conversation
because I flat out one thousand percent disagree with you.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
So I love fine.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I no, no, and don't take that personal.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
No, this is why think about it. In the context
of the twenty four election, Trump always had the advantage
because he had succeeded in doing it once before, and
so no matter what was happening, and now people would
look at it and say, like, uh, you're not gonna
win because you're gonna go to jail because all these
legal actions and all this other stuff, right, and you
(39:40):
know all these factors. But on paper, somebody that's climbed
them ountain before has got a pretty good And I'm
telling you, it's not just like being in a World
Series team. It's like pitching the ninth and closing Game
seven of the World Series. That's the stress. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, you said, you know that had climbed the mountain
before she had a helicopter lifter to the top of
the mountain.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I mean she never climbed the mountain. She wasn't she
didn't win anything. She was handed that nomination.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But but, but, but, and those are all just that's
my own off the top of my head. Look, you're
the guy. You've gotten plenty of people elected. So I
just one man's opinion, though, Mark right right, But far
be it from me to go I know more than
you because I don't not at all. But with the
Kamala thing, the people with the money, the checkbooks, they're going,
(40:34):
I'm not handing that bimbo any more money. There'll be
no not one more penny going to her as representing
the day. That's my own thoughts, especially now this podcast
that came out. They were like, we can't even air
that podcast because she called Bacon a spice And it's
like it's like, Uh, do you need her to be
the smartest person in the world.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
No, but you need her to be smarter than that.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Wouldn't you like her to be the nominee though?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Wouldn't that be fantastic? Per and AOC what a ticket? Wow,
wouldn't that be great, Marshall. It looks like, I mean,
this is the pattern we've settled into. It is you know,
it's summer, it's July, it's I mean, this is, you know,
pretty status quo.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I would think, right with our weddings, good pool weather,
we'll take it.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Yeah, yeah, we'll take it.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Just make sure you stay hydrated.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
If you have to work out in this, or even
if you're just going to go play golf, make sure
you stay hydrated, because especially when it's this warm and humid,
it can really have an impact before you know it.
So it's important to make sure that your your body
is up to speed on all of this patchy fog
to start your day. Tomorrow morning will drop to seventy
to start the day and then get to almost ninety
(41:43):
in the afternoon. It is going to be really muggy,
with a heat index in the mid nineties and a
chance for some pop up storms later in the day. Wednesday,
the storms are a little bit more wide spread, another
high in year eighty nine with a heat index in
the nineties and oh look, more storms on Thursday and
Friday and Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
All right, thank you Marshall, it is eighty six right now. Yeah,
I'm looking on only onlyphilanthropy dot com where the AT
and T girl has posted some some photos. There is, uh,
let's see Tier one called flirty, and that's sixty nine dollars.
(42:27):
You get one photo for sixty nine dollars And isn't
it convenient that it's sixty nine dollars?
Speaker 1 (42:34):
WHOA, Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Rick.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
And then there's Feisty, which is three digital photos that's
one fitty so one fitty hundred, fitty hundred fifty. And
then there's Tier three, which is four digital photos and
one polaroid. That's one thousand.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Dollars a stack.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
A stack, you get four and a Polari? What what
do they do? Mail you? I mean, how do you
get a polaroid? That's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
I'm like, wait what, I don't really under I'm gonna
have to investigate.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
You got a credit card on you?
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Thank you, cowboy. I appreciate that. Boy he calls them
balls and strikes, don't he? I mean he does, I guess.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
So anyway, it's an interesting concept, but it's worked. And
she said she was really just kind of let's see
the birds and the Bees campaign issue too, have only
philanthropy dedicated to supporting families with disabilities impacted by the
Eaton Canyon fires. These are people who are already carrying
the weight of medical needs and financial strain, now faced
(43:46):
with the added burden of rebuilding their lives from the ashes.
Their stories are made even harder by displacement and uncertainty.
Noble cause and h yes, there's a guys who were
benefiting from it. So yeah, So we just were talking
about Democrats lining up for the twenty twenty eight presidential race.
(44:10):
The first one listed here was Gavin Newsom. I feel
like as a guy that I mean, he looks like this,
this slick, kind of almost Hollywood type Gavin, good looking guy,
you know, the got the whole who handsome feller and
all that. But people, if they're going to vote for
(44:33):
any kind of a platform, we've got a glaring well,
we've got a I mean, he's really kind of auditioned,
hasn't he already? As how he runs California as the governor.
And I understand it's on a bigger scale, but do
we want the whole United States that look like California?
(44:54):
And I think a lot of the middle part of
the country is going to go Hell no.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
We don't want it to look that way. So I
don't know if he's Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
I feel like he's probably their best, their strongest horse
in this race right now. They also list Andy Basheer,
governor from Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
See, he's actually, you know, somebody that like in the
he's sort of in the Bill Clinton nineteen ninety two package. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Yeah, a guy, you know,
southern Democrat, moderate, middle of the road. You know, there
were that governor out in Colorado with Poulis thinks his
(45:39):
last name was was kind of talked about that way.
But he's done some kind of crazy, bizarre stuff in
the last month or two that I think's probably taken
him out. Who else they got on the list.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
I feel like Colorado, you know, being as progressive as
they are, not surprising, well, but he's right there with
California as far as progressive.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yeah, but he was like positioning himself to be kind
of moderate voice out there. Uh No, I think he
just kind of went off the rails. Like there's something
I can't remember what it was about a month ago.
It had a DEI thing or an immigration thing where
he just was like cuckoo for cocoa puts. But buts.
(46:19):
If you talked to folks in Cincinnati, you know, most
people have a pretty you know, Kentucky's one of those
states where like a conservative moderate Democrat I can't really
say conservative democrat anymore, but a modern Democrat can be
successful in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Isn't it funny that you could label someone a conservative
Democrat and all that means is they're not crazy far left. Yes,
and that's the kind of how it's defined now. Yes,
it's like Basher would be considered more of a centrist.
You're right, I really feel like you're you're spot on
with that. Congressman Roe Conna was on this list as well. Yeah, yeah,
(47:02):
two extreme.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
No, I just think he's I don't know much about it.
I mean he again, he is out there pretty in
La La Land on a bunch of this stuff. Yeah, yeah,
I don't a Congressman's really hard for a member of
Congress to get traction as a presidential candidate, like a senator,
a governor. Yeah, you know, unless you were the speaker,
(47:23):
majority leader or something like that.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Yeah, it's what what do you think when you know
people are tossing out AOC Democrat.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
I remember when she said that, like.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
She's got like one hundred percent name ID among Democrat
primary voters. Of that, I am certain, but sheer probably fifty.
Even Gavin Newsom's not close to He's closer to fifty
than he is one hundred.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
I bet yeah, she's just dumb. She's dumb as a
box of rocks.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
And it's like, I guess you kind of I put
her in the category of Kamala with regard to dumb.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
You know, you just go what I haven't.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
I haven't heard Aos go full word slid yet, but
I feel like it's coming, especially if she starts getting
any because remember that remember when uh no, remember when
Senator Kennedy goes, uh, we're doing operation letters.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Speak.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Just let her speak and she'll take care of it,
you know, or whatever Operation letters.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
I mean, look, we'll see what happens. I mean again,
Let's say you ran and you did a poll right now,
I would bet like Kamala would be still top of
that poll among Democrat primary voters or likely Democrat prime movers,
like like some independence and things.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I might vote for the the at and T girl,
I know you would.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
I mean, I think I think that's been established.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Lily might be. Uh okay, as a have.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
You already sent a campaign contribution?
Speaker 1 (49:03):
No? Not as far as you know.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
I am on your phone there a little bit.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Let's just go to trap
Yeah, I know, slacker.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
The guy doesn't want to come back in in the
afternoon to another radio show. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I
know that. So he's got he's got the week off.
So I've got the revolving door of guests this whole
week on the show, just because well that's the kind
of guy I am. And today, Bob A doo check, oh,
buddy of mine is hanging out.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And I appreciate you coming in.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I know you're busier than a one legged man and
an ass kicking contest these days right on Plazer.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
But you know what this is like, I get energized
after I coming into your show. It's such an effervescent experience.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Efferves There is a word I did not realize would
be used in conjunction with describing me, and and I'm
involved in anything with that, but I like it.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Think it sounds better than just saying you're bubbly.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It does because uh yeah, I haven't been described as
bubbly either.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'll just say that those are both words that energy.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Let's let's stay with something mad Hi, high energy.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I love it. I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't know if you were listening, but and I
got to tell this to Congressman Jim Jordan's going to
join us here in a couple of hours as he
usually does on Mondays. But I got to tell him
the story. And I don't know if I if you
heard me say it talking about it on the air
or whatever. But he's a golfer too. Now I know
you're a golfer. I'm a golfer, and we've golfed together
in outings and stuff. So a week ago today I
(01:27):
played Mierfield. Did you happen to hear the story or no?
So there was a shotgun start and I was getting
ready to tell you this before we jumped on the air,
but I thought, you know what, I'll just tell you
real quick while we're on.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So we start on sixteen. It's a part three.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Have you ever played Mierfield or have you ever watched
the tournament there?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, Attorney, Yeah, sixteen is a.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Part three and we were in a shotgun tournament. So
we all it's where you all start on you know
how that go?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, So we started on sixteen. And if you're listening
and you already heard this, sorry, you get to hear
it again. I'll speed it up so you don't have
to hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But I'm with Dave Holmes, who is the sports guy
on Channel six, and then two other guys that are
friends of his are from Toledo, and what it was
was a work day kind of because they sponsored the tournament,
so the people who volunteer and work for work day
it was part of their tournament. And then we were
make goods because it was media right, they let us.
(02:19):
They invite us out yearly to play there before the tournament.
It's all part of a media outing and so on.
So we go there. They paired me up with those
guys and we're on sixteen and it was playing one
hundred and sixty three yards and there's a water short
left or if you pull it left at all, all
the way the whole distance, it's gone.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's in the water.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So the first two guys go that are from Toledo,
both of them are on They hit it on the green.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And so Dave Holmes goes, Blazer, you go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So I tee it up and I hit it and
two bounces bunk off the.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Stick and then sits down next to the hole. It
didn't go in. I almost sat a hole in one
I'm so mad.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm like no, because I've never had a hole in one,
and I thought, boy, it would be nice. And when
someone's like you ever had a hole you know, do
you play with I'm one of those guys like I'll
end up playing at you know, any course, but I
typically am never in a foursome, so they put me
with strangers and they'll be like, you ever had a
hole in one? You know? That's one of the conversations
with people when they pair you up with strangers whatever.
(03:21):
And I would have been able to be like, yeah,
I had one hole in one on sixteen at.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Airfield, Yeah what about stay?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It stayed out, But they were like, you're not putting
this getaway and they like swatted the ball away. It
was like, you know, taping so but starting one under
and then the wheels fell off. After that, I was like,
ninety five is what I ended up shooting. But that
course is as you know, you get off the fair way. Yeah,
and it's it's brutal. I was in the I was
(03:51):
in I think about seventy percent of the traps there.
I think I was in the bunkers. That rough is
so brutal, it was it's something else. But what a
special special place that is the course that Jack built.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I mean it's so special.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
We see it every year, you know, the pros come there,
Tigers wanted a bunch of times, Scottie Scheffler.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The last two years. I mean, it's it's just nice.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's a special place, and you, being a golfer, I
knew you would appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I do. I'd have been really happy. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I was beside myself right then. There's no footage, but
I did have witnesses, so there's that, and it's the
sports guy at that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, then that's actually right.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And he hits the ball, Dave h it's the ball
really good, actually, uh so, and he hits it pretty long,
so you know, but it was it was fun.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It was a great time.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And I know you have there's like a an outing
coming up, you know next month that you.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Are Fraternal Order Police and they raise money for their foundation.
I've got zero chance of getting a hole in one.
I just I don't golf that much as my brothers.
I had one, so you know, there's that.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And that is just one of those things that's eluded
me all his I've holed out on my second shot.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You go off a lot more than I do.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That. Well, I played yesterday and it was so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was so bad, right, I don't I've got a
thing going with my left like elbow and arm.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I don't know it was, but it was just really bad.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yesterday I played at north Star and it was it
was But that was my sixth time this year. I
haven't played very much this year well, and three of
them were in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So well, people may not know this about you, but
you're pretty competitive, so I know you take that stuff
pretty seriously.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I try. Yeah, I feel like, if I'm going to
do it, I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I want to try to be as good as I
can without you know, getting too overbearing. I don't practice
enough so I can't go out there and be like,
oh no, you're like, oh shut up, you shot eighty
knock it off. Jordan was just on with Clay and
Buck and this was like last week, and Chuck told
me this because he heard it, and he goes, hey,
just so you know, and Jordan's ask him about the
(06:00):
eighty one he shot with his brother, So he just
played recently.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But I guess Jordan's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I keep trying to tee it up with him. I
play with Balderson a bunch of times. Yeah, but I've
never played with with Jim Jordan. But one of these
times maybe maybe you know, kind of a thing. But so, yeah,
so you were you were speaking all those guys. So
you were in d C last week.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, and I saw my good friend, uh Secretary christinome
Department Homeland Security. Very you know, they've been doing a
great job with the border, on the you know, shutting
down the border, making it secure. They had like zero
getaways in the month of that's instinct.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That is insane when you think about the previous.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Administry and you look at all of the tremendous success
that they've had on the border, and and you have
to most people don't realize this, but it was very underfunded.
I mean they were doing that all of that the
first six months of the minister beautiful bill, right. Yes,
this is all on a shoestring budget. It was the
previous budget before where they you know, they weren't doing
(07:06):
anything about hiring new ice officers, they weren't doing anything
about you know, they weren't using the wall money to
build anything. And so they've really like gotten a lot
done in short period and now with a big beautiful bill,
I mean they they're going to really be able to
do some serious progress.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
She's super super engaging in addition to being Look, I'm
just gonna say it, she's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Everybody knows that. And I'm not over here like horn dog.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
She's beautiful and she's super engaging for somebody who might
be looking at because you see all this stupid stuff
all over socials, like you know, Barbie Doll, Noome.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know, and all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's like, look, don't be mad at her because she
had she what do you wanted to make herself uglier?
I mean, you know, try to be ugly. It's I
hate that she has to deal with that. And I'm
sure at some point you know she's this or that
about that. But I will tell you the thing I
was bringing up about super engaging. Now you know or
you're friends with her, right, she was here when she
was governor, speaking out of Lincoln Reagan Day dinner.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, and that's when I met her.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
She was super, super nice and I was begging her,
you know, I was like, uh, well I'll stop there,
but I just she was super cool.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
We stood there and chatted for a while. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But I she's man really really cool and she didn't
know me from Adam. You know.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, here's the thing about her, you know, because she's
very very good administrator. She runs that department. It's a
huge it's a department of departments. It's very complicated, and
she does a good job with this. So you think
about all the stuff they're doing with immigration, and then
they're also responsible for FEMA, And I think one of
her greatest strengths is, you know, she has the ability,
(08:49):
you know, being a mother and a grandmother, to go
down in the Texas where the horrific disaster was and
console those families and to deal with that situation in
a much different way than you know a man would
do or anything like that. That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, but.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
She is, she's fantastic. I know, the President's really happy
with her performance because again she and the entire team
over there at DHS are doing a great job on again,
so many different fronts because they have CPB, they have ICE,
they have FEMA, they have Secret Service, they have all
it's a huge, huge department.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Speaking of that, Tom Holman, did you see him get heckled. Yeah, dude,
I like he's a guy. Like I'm watching that and
I'm going because of who he is, and I know,
yeah speaking of secret Service, I mean he's uh. I
think there could be as many people or more as
(09:48):
that are after President Trump, as far as that want
to do him harm.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
He might be right there.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Like second in line people are so on the left
and people who are just well, i'm gonna say it,
they're flat out idiots. They're idiots. They do not understand
what is happening right now. And for them to try
to say, you know, we keep seeing why did the
ice agents have to wear masks and all this, it's like,
you guys, you were the dumbest people on earth, you know,
(10:17):
if you have to ask these questions.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
So point being, he gets heckled by the a.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Protester that that Conservative summit turning point, turning point, that's it. Yeah,
And so the kid whoever it was said, are you
an MS thirteen gang member?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
What it didn't even make sense, it's you know what
I mean, Like, yeah, I was just like I was.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Trying to find the correlation because I didn't understand.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, and here's the thing, Blazer it's not just like
these folks that are like hecklers or protesters or anything.
There are Democratic elected officials, the mayor of Los Angeles,
the governor of California. That part is members of Congress
that are like, it's unacceptable, it's just amazing, it's just amazing.
(11:05):
Too far.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Are we all on the same team here, because clearly
the answer is no, but.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It should be yes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah. I mean, when you talk about bass and everything going,
Newsome and you're right, the whole state of California, can
we just get a big saw and saw them loose
and they can be their own country.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's so dumb what's happening over well, I don't think it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I mean, it's not the people out there, it's it's
they they elect these folks. Yeah, and you know, but really,
how much of an election can you have when there's
not really a choice?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
And and again, you know, there's a lot of craziness
going on in the Democratic Party. I honestly you have
to wonder if it's mental illness or what. It's just
that none of the stuff makes sense, some of the
things that they're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What was Secretary GNOME's reaction to uh that raid on
the on that the weed harvesting that site in California.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I didn't get a chance to that happened athlete Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Dude, there were fourteen children.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The legacy media does they're talking about the guy that
fell off the roof. They're trying to get away. Why
are you trying to get away? It's the first question.
But okay, it's awful that a human life was lost.
Whether he was here illegally or not. That's self inflicted.
The ice didn't throw him off the roof. I mean,
and then when you watch them trying to leave. You know,
(12:29):
I was telling Chuck this on the air last week.
I said, how is it that I said the restraint
that they are and this is before the President said that,
by the way, I said, the restraint they are exercising
is off the charts. I said, I don't understand. Those
are federal agents. If you did that to Columbus police
(12:50):
driving by, your ass is going to jail. If you
throw a brick at their car when they're driving by,
they're gonna get out and taze you, maybe shoot you.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And I'm watching them vehicle after and those guys are
just teeing off like throwing stuff, and I go, what
is happening? And then President Trump's like, you have the
full authority, and I thought, wow, the restraints off the charts.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
It's it's craziness. Craziness that's happening.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean when you saw that stuff, you were you
saying that to yourself when you're watching them get pelted
by when they're trying to leave and people go. And
this is another thing too, like when when you know
you'll see on social ICE is just doing their job. Yeah,
and so we're the al Schwitz at Alschwitz and I'm like,
what kind of a comparison you this, dude. As you
(13:42):
can tell, I'm getting worked up. This is the this
is the dumbest thing over and over that we have
to keep going over and over and over with. And
the left is leading this in the media.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
And the worst part about this is that they like
make these uh unsubstained, cheated claims that they're throwing people there,
they're not wearing any uh that that ICE officers aren't
representing themselves, identifying themselves, that they're like plane white vans
where people are getting kidnapped off the street and thrown
(14:14):
They make these statements in the in very few people
in the media say, well, wait a minute, give me
an example of one of these incidents where this has happened,
and they just don't. I just don't believe it's true
because because I bet if there was an incident like
that where there were people that had masks on that
were government agents that weren't identifying themselves, that we have
(14:35):
seen it on TV by now on MSNBC or see.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, brother, there's cameras every well.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So until they come back with some proof, Hakeem Jeffreys
should shut up until he gives an actual example of
one of these incidents where it's like, you know, uh,
people in in you know, unidentified arresting people.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
They try to make it like you've got some hispanic
you know, man or woman standing on a street corner. Yeah,
and they roll up in a white van, jump out
with a hood, throw the hood over there, you know,
like some stuff you see in a movie when they're
kidnapping people, throw them into the van, slam the door,
and go screeching off. Yeah, that's the way they're portraying this.
(15:20):
And the average person, Bob in America knows that's not
what's happening. Yeah, but the mainstream media it wants to
continue to try to paint this this erroneous picture of it,
and the left, like you said, they're all checking the boxes.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
King Jeffries, how dare you that is so?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That is so just unbelievable that something he's okay with
portraying it that way is irresponsible.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I mean it just shows you that they have two
so little to actually campaign on on their own, they
have no other agenda than anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And like I said, I've said this before, maybe even
on this program, Trump cure cancer and it wouldn't be
good enough for her people. They'd be like, no, we
got to bring cancer back or something.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So this is kind of an interesting What day was that?
It would have been.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Saturday?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Saturday Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
We were in Ostrander for Stones baseball game, and man,
the storms were all around us.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
But we kept dodging them.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We get about three I don't know, three innings or
so in And when I tell you that the torrential
is an understatement, I mean it was. My mother was
with us, and Jenny and I were hovered underneath one
(16:49):
of the umbrellas. This was that rain when you looked
off into the distance. It looked like fog, but it
wasn't fog.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It was rain.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I mean I couldn't see to our car from where
we were standing. And finally the wind started picking up.
Josephine was with us. Her umbrella flipped the other way.
And when that happened, I go. My mom was like
sitting in a folding chair with the umbrella over top
of her, and I just I go, Jenny, take the
(17:21):
umbrella and I go out. I go, Ma, we gotta go,
we gotta go. Like it was like I felt like
I was in a movie. I mean, it was crazy.
And then Marshall, it was like, you know, everyone was soaked.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I mean it was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And I remember you going, yeah, if you're underneath one
of these when.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's gonna dump, and man, did.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It holy cow that I haven't been caught in that
kind of range since I was a kid, And I
mean it it was nuts.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
It was we were at a friend's birthday party at
a pool and I'm watching the radar and I'm just
like and and you know, the cloud I'll start getting
dark and foreboding, and I'm looking at the radar and
I'm like, we've got about ten minutes here, and sure enough,
I'm like, hey, yeah, it's time to get out.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Of the pool.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
And they're like, wait, now, it's great, it's gonna miss us.
I'm like, it's not gonna miss us. And as if
on que there was thunder. I'm like, that's it. Out
of the pool.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You know what I think is hilarious about this story
is people are arguing with you, and you were like.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Do you know what I do for a limbing? Do
you know?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Do you understand the training I've had, I'm able to
disseminate the all of the information.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Get out of the pool of the pool. Yeah, that's
my pool. I'm not kidding out of that. I get out.
I'm ordering you out of your own pools. Get out.
I don't want to witness you dying. Now get out.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
And yeah, and within a few minutes it was just
tropical torrential down pours.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And you know, twenty minutes later it was done.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yea, And so you know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
This, so ours and Ostrander did last longer than that,
I will say that, but I can tell you, within Lily,
five to eight minutes, the entire field was underwater.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I mean it was that much rain and it felt.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I don't know what the numbers are, you'd have to
look it up, but it was a guarantee. More than
at least an inch of rain fell in twenty minutes,
or maybe twenty five somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
It was unbelievable the amount of rain that dumped on us.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
So we have that happening in southeastern Ohio today. So
in parts of eastern Athens County, we've had two to
three inches of rain in less than three hours. So
a flash flood warning is in effect until five point
forty five for a lot of Athens County. Some storms
are still making their way through there. They're moving east
pretty quickly, but a brand new cell just popped up
(19:43):
north of Johnstown, and we may see a few more
of those pop up yet this afternoon and this evening.
And again, if you get under one of these, it
can be really really wet, really fast. But a few
miles away it's dry and sunny, so we're gonna leave
that chance in the forecast at least through sunset tonight.
Otherwise partly cloudy, muggy, some isolated fog in the morning.
(20:05):
Seventy for the low tomorrow and the next day, and
the next day, they're partly cloudy skies. It's muggy eighty nine,
feeling like mid nineties and a chance for pomp up
storms in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
All right, Marshall, thank you it is eighty five right now.
Thank you for listening the Mark Blazer Show. Chuck is
on for Mike Elliott and Columbus Morning News all week.
So he is off, Bob Pa, do check in studio
with me today. And so while Marshall was speaking just there,
were you looking at the TV? Did you see the headline?
It was Mark Cuban is blasting in the Democrat. Yeah,
(20:40):
that is telling you something when you say a guy
like Mark Cuban, and let's face it, he's mister DEI
woke guy. I think he's okay with men competing in
women's sports. You know, he checks a lot of those
very incredibly liberal boxes. He's telling the Democrats, Yeah, your
messaging is off, and all we can do is pray
(21:02):
that they continue down this road so they will get
their asses.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Handed to them yet again. Whenever it's it's a chance
to have that happen. It's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Look, I think there's like a self fulfilling prophecy here.
To a certain extent, and and and here's what I
mean is like the radical left runs a Democrat party.
I mean to the extent that they're not necessarily in
all the positions of power. But you can't go off
the reservation as a Democrat when it comes to Trump
(21:32):
and some of these other issues. And I think there
is a frustration going on with a radical left that
there Trump said, all these wins, the big beautiful Bill
Scotus wins exactly, Peace and prosperity, you know, job creation.
You know, we ought to be reducing in interest rates
because inflation's holding.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You know, that's a whole Yeah, I got that next dollar.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Jerome Poal needs like, yeah, all these great things are
going on, and I think they're just getting more and
more frustrated, and they're lashing out at Democrats.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
In Michael quote Charlie Sheen winning remember that, but yeah,
that's right, he just keeps winning.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah. In Cuban's not yeah, and he's just not a
d I guy, He's like a Democrat icon. I mean
a lot of those Hollywood types are like that. There
are big players on the Democratic Party, and I think
they're getting very, very frustrated with what's going on.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
So how much do they pay attention to someone like
Mark Cuban because clearly he has a ton of money
and he's a guy who's helping facilitate you know, I
don't know, I mean I don't I don't know exactly
what he's contributed, but he is a guy that contributes,
he helps, and I wonder how much of that they
listen to with a guy who's doing because he has
to say so correct.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I mean, well, yeah, but this wants on who the
they is? Yeah, I mean, you know, uh, everybody gets
this idea that the party bosses run things, and there's
a former party boss. I got to tell you it's
it's just not true.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
He runs it.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
The people do, the donors party, No, not the donors,
but the rank and file. What people don't realize is
that that, like a lot of times, politicians are just
reacting to their base voters, what their base voters want,
and so it's hard to stray off. And so you
got a lot more Republicans that will stray one way
or the other than in the Democrat Party. It's pretty
(23:23):
rigid there. And right now, the rigid voices in the
Democrat Party are being told you got to be anti
Trump on everything. You got to be pro illegal alien,
you got to be you know, pro DEEI. You got
to be pro men and women's sports. But isn't that
you can't you can't stray from that Otherwise in the
Democrat primary, you're going to you're gonna get challenged in
(23:45):
the Democratic primary.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
But isn't that the worst advice ever? Given what happened
in November? You know that, like, first of all, the
illegal aliens, and you can call them whatever you want,
they're here illegally, okay, so whatever, how whatever you want
to call them, they're here illegally. I love their talking point,
which is they didn't do anything, they're not breaking the
(24:07):
law while they're here, so why are they going after them?
And you go, they're breaking the law because they're here illegally.
So it's so funny how they go, well, that doesn't
really count, and it's just like, well it counted for
about seventy five million people because they voted for a guy.
And I love how they keep posting they say did
you vote for this? And they'll show a clip of
(24:29):
Ice arresting and it's like, yes, yes, that is what
we voted for. That's what America voted for because they're
tired of seeing what happens in Chicago and go down
the list of all these blue cities where it's just
idiocy that is overtaking public and we're watching the regular
American citizens, citizens who are here contributing to taxes, paying
(24:54):
their taxes and doing all these things. They're tired of
what the illegals were getting away with. They finally said,
that's enough, this is a guy that we want. Maybe
they held their nose, some of them and voted because
they go, it's for the it's for my family. It's
safer for my family if we start to get these
people out of the United States, because we've seen the
(25:16):
types of you know, heinous crimes that they commit when
you're here. But is that to say that every one
of them is doing no, No, it's not to say that.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Every one of them, every one of them is doing that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
But as a result along the way, if they pick
you up, you still got to go if you're not
here legally. And it's just funny how they that's the
worst advice ever, that they have to be those things
you were saying in order for them to try because
I feel like that's in an echo chamber with regard
to the people that are going to vote for them. Yeah,
(25:51):
they would vote for fill in the blank who believes
in that. But depending on the city, you might be
in big trouble trying to use that as your platform.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know, well, it definitely, but you know again, you know,
the base is so angry. They're so angry at Trump,
They're so angry at whatever else that they just they're
not thinking straight. The base of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, man, it's crazy to watch this play out. And
you've been in you've been around politics and in politics
a long time, and have you seen anything this extreme
ever in the history of.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
What you've witnessed? Never?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
No, I mean, it has to be the craziest times.
It is. It is. It'll be fascinating to see what happens.
I mean because part of me is a little bit
of a political scientist on it. How the Democrats draw
themselves out of this, like, you know, quicksand for lack
of a better term, Yeah, I don't know how they
get out of it.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I like it political quicksand is that's a perfect description.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Chuck is off this week.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
He's on for Mike Elliott and Columbus Morning News in
the morning. He's doing that and uh, and that's why
he's not on right now. So just f y, I
yesterday was one year since the president was shot. Well
at the time he was a candidate, but yeah, we're
(27:16):
talking now current. So yeah, the president was shot one
year ago yesterday in Butler, Pennsylvania. And so there are
there are so many different theories with you know, what
exactly happened. First and foremost, last week was the first
time we found out that there was any kind of reprimand.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
With the Secret Service.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I mean, we saw the people that and it was
I mean, it was bizarre to me.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And I don't want to put words in your mouth
because I don't know how much you're allowed to even
say or think.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I know what you think. I think, but maybe you
know I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't know, and I didn't ask you ahead of
time with regard to types of things you're allowed to
speak about with regard to this. But it is a
head scratcher the way that this has been processed from
the very get go with this shooter who you know,
committed this, they smoke him and then that's it. He's
cremated before and everyone's like, what, like, what happened. It's
(28:16):
so bizarre the way this whole thing has played out.
And now there's information surfacing that the United States Secret
Service knew Trump was in danger before the rally. They
did nothing, I maintain, And it's not like this is
some you know, hot take, but I feel like it
was some sort of an inside something. It's just again,
(28:40):
having a year to process this and to hear about
different facts that have kind of surfaced and the ones
which have not surfaced, which I think is even more
telling that there there is this whole thing stinks. It
feels like it feels like a cover up. It feels
like an inside job. All of those Where were you at?
(29:01):
And I may have asked you this before, but where
were you? I guess it's a long So. It was
a Saturday. Yeah, I was coming home from drill and
got a phone call or I was on the phone
with my wife or something. She told me and said, oh,
the President's been shot. And I, like, usually always have
the radio on. For some reason, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I may have been doing a series of phone calls them,
but I turned it on and I'm like, geez it,
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
So you were traveling listening to continuing coverage while you
were traveling driving.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, I mean I turned on the radio immediately. I
wasn't with the campaign or anything like that, but I
turned on the radio, got home, turned on the TV,
and was like, just like everybody else, developing as it
was going.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Because I remember sending you a note and it was
a while before I heard back from you. But I'm like,
what do you know and all of this, and You're like,
I don't know him anymore than.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You know, Yeah, trying to find out it's hard. In
most of the people that I would.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Call, Yeah, they were all like, yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Last thing they need to do is hear from me.
And there, you know, and a lot of them were
running around. You know, they got them out of there
as soon as they got the president out.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
So as it started to unfold and you're watching that
day and after you kind of started gathering a lot
of the immediate facts that were available, I mean, what
what were the things that were going through your head
during that time? I mean, you know President Trump pretty well.
I mean you've been to Mara a Lago, You've you know,
(30:37):
you helped them win Ohio twice.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I mean, you know, I mean what kinds of.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Things during that and clearly you realize, oh, he's gonna
be okay. Once you realize that, then you start kind
of going down the checklist like.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
How did this happen? How did the breakdown occur?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Well, first first thing to unpack on that is like
you saw right there and there like everything I know
about the guy that I've known for him for all
the time i've known him. But he got up fight, fight,
fight defiant. He took a shot at me. I'm still here,
I'm still fighting. That's that's him, That's the essence of him.
(31:18):
And you know, I talked to him because the convention
was the following week, and I saw him a couple
of times during the convention, and you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Know, he still had the bandage on the white Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
I mean, look, I remember him when I talked to
him when he was going through the first impeachment thing,
and it doesn't sound like it's that big of a
deal because they've tried to impeach him twice.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, but it's a little lackluster at that point. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
But even at the first time, it was like one
of those things that as it was going on. It
seemed like just as much of a thing as this,
and he seems don't bother him.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Right? But you know what, that's characteristic of somebody who
has what he has and as able water off a
duck's back if you will.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Well, you have to be you can't take the stuff personally.
You got to be moving forward. You got to be
focused on what needs to be done.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And that's a leader, right.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I said, a lot of people over the years in
politics that couldn't have couldn't have handled a fraction of
what he's handled is his entire political career, which is
a little over nine years now.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
It's fascinating.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
It's fascinating because it's been like dog years quite frankly, Yeah,
it feels like he's been at it sixty years, right,
And that's part of But I think his ability to
process these things like it's just another that's just another
obstacle that was thrown at at me. And guess what,
I hurdled it now and here we are, let's go,
(32:46):
let's keep going. I mean, he's not a guy to
sit and be like oh. And I think he did
some reflecting after that. It looked like it anyway during
his speech, but he was compassionate about Corey, and you know,
you had a great guy that was taken out clearly,
And that was the thing I was telling you during
the during the breakout.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
To watch on social media.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
And I even saw this yesterday when I was golfing,
and I said to my cousin who I was playing with.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I'm like, look at these idiots. They're saying that was staged.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
They're still trying to do that, And I'm like, tell
Corey's widow, tell her that it was staged. Tell his
kids that it was staged. They don't have a dad anymore,
she doesn't have a guy, the love of her life anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
How is that staged? Like? What what is staged? Like that?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
They like you said, the guy is such a great
shot that he goes Yeah, I was just trying to
fire a warning shot and not really take him out
and then kill the guy behind him.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Who has turned to It's like, what are you talking?
How are you saying it's stage still?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Well, the people that are saying that, it just shows
how much they've degraded down to this idiocracy. I mean, honestly,
you know, we were talking about all the violence and
stuff going against ice officers and police officers and things
like that. I mean, you know, you look in the
context of this, it's just like it's all the same thing.
It's just like an alternative reality that these folks live
(34:15):
in where something else is going on that isn't what's
going on in real life.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Do you do you because I do this all the time,
and I have this conversation with my wife too. But
we'll say about a situation where okay, let's say it's facts,
like what happened with them trying to take President Trump's
life and the facts of the situation. Yet there are
(34:42):
people saying it was staged, it wasn't real. He's he's
embellishing with the bandage on his ear. Now they'll be
close up shots of that ear and they'll say the
cartilage doesn't regrow. I mean, there's And I say to
my and we'll have the conversations like, how is that
(35:03):
It's not an opinion that he was his life was
attempted to be taken.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's not an opinion. There is no take quote unquote.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
And that's the thing that I struggle the most with
with a lot of things that happen with this current president.
There are facts, and I get it if you want
to have an opinion about his policies or what have you,
but you can't argue different facts.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yet they try to just ignore fact. That's you can't.
How do you fight against that?
Speaker 3 (35:34):
You can't and you can't, which is leads you to like, well,
how does it all get fixed and back to what
it was before?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I don't know the answer to that, And I don't
know that there is.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
A way to get back to that because it's a sickness.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yeah, exactly. Some people have a mental health there's a
mental health problem in this country.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
You know.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
And I don't know if you saw Rosie O'Donnell what
she but here's a where she's like, I'm living rent
free and his do you think what President Trump? He's
trolling you, Rosie. He's trolling You're not living rent free.
And I promise you she doesn't. She moved on Ireland.
She's the one that talks about him all the time.
(36:16):
She's the one that I mean, she has a podcast
or whatever. She's always talking about him. And she tries
to go, you know, you're I'm living rent free in
your head and she makes it like and I'm like,
don't you understand this is just that's a side thought
for him, that's something for him to do.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's a troll.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
He's trolling you like he's trolling a lot of other people.
It's mind over matter, Rosie. He doesn't mind because you
don't matter. I mean, it's just the weirdest thing. How
people that Trump arrangement centrum never a more real thing
ever said in history, or more of a real thing.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I do want to get to.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
The Democrats lining up for the twenty eight presidential race.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I think the.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Guy that probably is in the lead for them would
be Gavin wouldn't you think you would? And I just
want your thoughts. I mean, again, I don't know how
much you've even thought about it. But they start listing
the potential candidates here for the twenty eight race. Gavin
is the first one that they mentioned, which isn't it
(37:30):
wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Which is strange because you think it would be Kamala
Harris see.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I really yeah, Well you're taking me by surprise by
saying that, because I feel like they I think the
Democrats by and large think think wait a second, think
about how much money you are a campaign guy? Think
about how much money was spent on her to try
to get her across the finish line and look out badly,
(37:55):
she got her ass kicked.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
So so let me put it in terms of mainstream.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Media, all this stuff, famous people Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Maybe put it in terms that you understand. Okay, So,
so a team that has been to the World Series
has a better chance of winning this World Series than
the team that's never been to the World Series. Would
you agree with that statement?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Well, okay, let me wait, I can. I will, but
let me say I understand that statement. But you also
are talking about a team that's been to the World
Series that has talent well, and that I deserve to
be the team that was opposing the other team.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
She didn't deserve to be there well, but she was
handed that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
To be the Democrat nominee, she doesn't have to win
the presidential election, She just has to win a Democrat primary.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
She didn't even win that I understand, was handed to it.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying that she knows all
the donors her name idea is higher than Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I think they all knew she's an idiot.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Look, I'm just saying her name idea is higher than
Gavin Newsom's. She knows a lot of the donors and
different people. She has an inherent advantage. On paper, she
has an advantage. And if you're gonna I mean, if
you're gonna rank these, I'm just explaining you.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
How No, I love it that we're having this conversation
because I flat out one thousand percent disagree with you.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
So I love fine.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I no, no, and don't take that personal.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
No, this is why think about it. In the context
of the twenty four election, Trump always had the advantage
because he had succeeded in doing it once before, and
so no matter what was happening, and now people would
look at it and say, like, uh, you're not gonna
win because you're gonna go to jail because all these
legal actions and all this other stuff, right, and you
(39:40):
know all these factors. But on paper, somebody that's climbed
them ountain before has got a pretty good And I'm
telling you, it's not just like being in a World
Series team. It's like pitching the ninth and closing Game
seven of the World Series. That's the stress. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, you said, you know that had climbed the mountain
before she had a helicopter lifter to the top of
the mountain.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I mean she never climbed the mountain. She wasn't she
didn't win anything. She was handed that nomination.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But but, but, but, and those are all just that's
my own off the top of my head. Look, you're
the guy. You've gotten plenty of people elected. So I
just one man's opinion, though, Mark right right, But far
be it from me to go I know more than
you because I don't not at all. But with the
Kamala thing, the people with the money, the checkbooks, they're going,
(40:34):
I'm not handing that bimbo any more money. There'll be
no not one more penny going to her as representing
the day. That's my own thoughts, especially now this podcast
that came out. They were like, we can't even air
that podcast because she called Bacon a spice And it's
like it's like, Uh, do you need her to be
the smartest person in the world.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
No, but you need her to be smarter than that.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Wouldn't you like her to be the nominee though?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Wouldn't that be fantastic? Per and AOC what a ticket? Wow,
wouldn't that be great, Marshall. It looks like, I mean,
this is the pattern we've settled into. It is you know,
it's summer, it's July, it's I mean, this is, you know,
pretty status quo.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I would think, right with our weddings, good pool weather,
we'll take it.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Yeah, yeah, we'll take it.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Just make sure you stay hydrated.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
If you have to work out in this, or even
if you're just going to go play golf, make sure
you stay hydrated, because especially when it's this warm and humid,
it can really have an impact before you know it.
So it's important to make sure that your your body
is up to speed on all of this patchy fog
to start your day. Tomorrow morning will drop to seventy
to start the day and then get to almost ninety
(41:43):
in the afternoon. It is going to be really muggy,
with a heat index in the mid nineties and a
chance for some pop up storms later in the day. Wednesday,
the storms are a little bit more wide spread, another
high in year eighty nine with a heat index in
the nineties and oh look, more storms on Thursday and
Friday and Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
All right, thank you Marshall, it is eighty six right now. Yeah,
I'm looking on only onlyphilanthropy dot com where the AT
and T girl has posted some some photos. There is, uh,
let's see Tier one called flirty, and that's sixty nine dollars.
(42:27):
You get one photo for sixty nine dollars And isn't
it convenient that it's sixty nine dollars?
Speaker 1 (42:34):
WHOA, Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Rick.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
And then there's Feisty, which is three digital photos that's
one fitty so one fitty hundred, fitty hundred fifty. And
then there's Tier three, which is four digital photos and
one polaroid. That's one thousand.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Dollars a stack.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
A stack, you get four and a Polari? What what
do they do? Mail you? I mean, how do you
get a polaroid? That's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
I'm like, wait what, I don't really under I'm gonna
have to investigate.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
You got a credit card on you?
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Thank you, cowboy. I appreciate that. Boy he calls them
balls and strikes, don't he? I mean he does, I guess.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
So anyway, it's an interesting concept, but it's worked. And
she said she was really just kind of let's see
the birds and the Bees campaign issue too, have only
philanthropy dedicated to supporting families with disabilities impacted by the
Eaton Canyon fires. These are people who are already carrying
the weight of medical needs and financial strain, now faced
(43:46):
with the added burden of rebuilding their lives from the ashes.
Their stories are made even harder by displacement and uncertainty.
Noble cause and h yes, there's a guys who were
benefiting from it. So yeah, So we just were talking
about Democrats lining up for the twenty twenty eight presidential race.
(44:10):
The first one listed here was Gavin Newsom. I feel
like as a guy that I mean, he looks like this,
this slick, kind of almost Hollywood type Gavin, good looking guy,
you know, the got the whole who handsome feller and
all that. But people, if they're going to vote for
(44:33):
any kind of a platform, we've got a glaring well,
we've got a I mean, he's really kind of auditioned,
hasn't he already? As how he runs California as the governor.
And I understand it's on a bigger scale, but do
we want the whole United States that look like California?
(44:54):
And I think a lot of the middle part of
the country is going to go Hell no.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
We don't want it to look that way. So I
don't know if he's Uh.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
I feel like he's probably their best, their strongest horse
in this race right now. They also list Andy Basheer,
governor from Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
See, he's actually, you know, somebody that like in the
he's sort of in the Bill Clinton nineteen ninety two package. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Yeah, a guy, you know,
southern Democrat, moderate, middle of the road. You know, there
were that governor out in Colorado with Poulis thinks his
(45:39):
last name was was kind of talked about that way.
But he's done some kind of crazy, bizarre stuff in
the last month or two that I think's probably taken
him out. Who else they got on the list.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
I feel like Colorado, you know, being as progressive as
they are, not surprising, well, but he's right there with
California as far as progressive.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yeah, but he was like positioning himself to be kind
of moderate voice out there. Uh No, I think he
just kind of went off the rails. Like there's something
I can't remember what it was about a month ago.
It had a DEI thing or an immigration thing where
he just was like cuckoo for cocoa puts. But buts.
(46:19):
If you talked to folks in Cincinnati, you know, most
people have a pretty you know, Kentucky's one of those
states where like a conservative moderate Democrat I can't really
say conservative democrat anymore, but a modern Democrat can be
successful in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Isn't it funny that you could label someone a conservative
Democrat and all that means is they're not crazy far left. Yes,
and that's the kind of how it's defined now. Yes,
it's like Basher would be considered more of a centrist.
You're right, I really feel like you're you're spot on
with that. Congressman Roe Conna was on this list as well. Yeah, yeah,
(47:02):
two extreme.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
No, I just think he's I don't know much about it.
I mean he again, he is out there pretty in
La La Land on a bunch of this stuff. Yeah, yeah,
I don't a Congressman's really hard for a member of
Congress to get traction as a presidential candidate, like a senator,
a governor. Yeah, you know, unless you were the speaker,
(47:23):
majority leader or something like that.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Yeah, it's what what do you think when you know
people are tossing out AOC Democrat.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
I remember when she said that, like.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
She's got like one hundred percent name ID among Democrat
primary voters. Of that, I am certain, but sheer probably fifty.
Even Gavin Newsom's not close to He's closer to fifty
than he is one hundred.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
I bet yeah, she's just dumb. She's dumb as a
box of rocks.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
And it's like, I guess you kind of I put
her in the category of Kamala with regard to dumb.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
You know, you just go what I haven't.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
I haven't heard Aos go full word slid yet, but
I feel like it's coming, especially if she starts getting
any because remember that remember when uh no, remember when
Senator Kennedy goes, uh, we're doing operation letters.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Speak.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Just let her speak and she'll take care of it,
you know, or whatever Operation letters.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
I mean, look, we'll see what happens. I mean again,
Let's say you ran and you did a poll right now,
I would bet like Kamala would be still top of
that poll among Democrat primary voters or likely Democrat prime movers,
like like some independence and things.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
I might vote for the the at and T girl,
I know you would.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
I mean, I think I think that's been established.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Lily might be. Uh okay, as a have.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
You already sent a campaign contribution?
Speaker 1 (49:03):
No? Not as far as you know.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
I am on your phone there a little bit.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Let's just go to trap
