Russ Jackson is running the big board in the seven hundred WLW Command Center. Great to see Russ doing some guest appearances running Russ? Is this going to become a regular thing with you? Man, You're gonna be apparent? Apparently? Well, he's he's getting roped in running the big board in the seven hundred WLW Command Center. So I appreciate him being here and everything he does. So when you call in,

make sure you say hello to Russ. Five one, three, seven four, nine, seven thousand and one, eight hundred the Big One. If you're thinking to yourself, you know what I heard this guy on earlier today? You did? I

sat in for Bill Cunningham earlier today. And Dave Armbrewster is the guy that does all the scheduling for those of us who sit behind the microphone, and he texted me yesterday and he said, he said, man, I need I need a solid, need a favor, gotta need need you to fill in for nine to midnight Friday night. And I said, I'm there for you, buddy. So here I am. And So I was doing the Cunningham Show earlier today and it was a it was a great show. If you didn't catch it, go back and listen to

it on the iHeart iHeart Media app. I don't know how you do that, but it's there. It's all there. And right as I was getting done with that show, a video came out, another video of the shooting that happened in Minneapolis and the shooting that took the life of this woman and Renee Nicole Good. And this is the video from the bodycam of one of the agents. Actually it's the federal agent that got hit by the

car behind the pilot that she was driving. And this video recks a lot of liberal narratives about what happened. And a couple of nights ago was on the Wednesday night edition of The Midweek Crisis, I was talking about this and I was describing the video that was out then. Since then, more videos, different angles have appeared, and I

was talking about the multiple videos that night. I think I had seen at that point, I had seen I don't know, three or four different angles of what happened, and I was pretty convinced early on that the federal agent that had to open fire on her did so come completely justified. It's a it's a terrible incident that had happened. I'm very sorry that this woman is dead, but her own decisions, her own actions, brought it on herself.

And so the camera that was worn by the ice officer, I think really settles a lot of things, especially this narrative about how this woman was just in the neighborhood dropping her son off at school, didn't really realize she was in the you know, the middle of this this federal ice operation. Now, it really none of that is true. There's a section of that video where the and and

I'm I'm not I didn't you know. I was thinking about playing the cut and playing the audio of that, but it doesn't really, it doesn't really you have to see it more than here it I think it's it's I just don't think it works in my opinion. I don't think it works on radio. But at one point you hear the other woman who is described as uh as this woman's partner. I guess I've seen reports that

says they're married. I don't know, I don't care, but they're The woman who is this other woman's partner is talking to the ice agent and she says to the effect of, do you want to come at us? Do you want to come in? You know, in a intimidating way. And look, the the ice officer was not threatened by her. The Ice officers and she's not that big of a gal, but she was saying, do you want to come at us? So implying that you know, if you know you're gonna jump,

let's go, let's uh, let let's let's throw down. And she said to the effect you better bring a lunch, which I found a little bit humorous because I seriously doubt that that particular ice agent would have had to pack a lunch if he was going to go toe to toe with her. So in any case, you see the you see the the point of view from the body cam. He walks past her, circles around towards the front of the car, and there's, uh, there's a brief point and then and look, there's there's a lot of extrain.

And this is why I don't think this particular cut works on radio and why I'm not playing it tonight. There are there may be other people on the radio that play it, but there's a lot of extraneous noise. There's a there's voices that are coming in from off camera. It's just from an audio standpoint, I think it's easy to lose context on what exactly you're hearing if you if you're not seeing it with with your own eyes,

there's uh, you know, they're there're sirens. There's at one point you hear the engine in the car, and that is I think a clear indication that she was stepping on the gas trying to not gently move the car forward, but step on the gas and have the car alerge forward, which is when you hear the sound of the impact and you hear that ice officer gets struck by the car. I don't think it leaves any doubt as to whether or not he had fear of imminent danger. And bodily

harm and death to himself. I think that that video erases all doubt. And I'm looking to the monitor on my left. There's a live shot from Minneapolis, Minnesota right now, and there is a huge demonstration filling the streets of downtown Minneapolis tonight. And they're channing in the demonstrations that took place last night. And I know there were some in Cincinnati. I don't know if there's any taking place. Maybe if you do know, you can fill me in.

I don't know if there's any demonstrations taking place in downtown Cincinnati tonight. But some of the chanting that was going on last night was talking about stringing up Christineome, the head of Homeland Security, talking about killing ice agents, wanting dead ice agents. Now, if you remember the some of the BLM protests where they were very anti police, pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. Remember those

heartwarming chants from that really good group of people. So you know, so this is what's happening in downtown Minneapolis tonight. I've seen a lot of people with pots and pans. There's a gentleman with a large looks like a large metal mixing bowl, and he's got well, it appears to be a drumstick, like a like a drumstick from a drum kit, banging on the metal bowl. So they're out there and doing their thing tonight, and it doesn't look like it's too out of control. So we'll keep an

eye on that. If anything happens with that, we'll be talking about it. But the officer that fired multiple shots was standing in front of the car. There is no there can be no question about that now. And you know, the first night I was talking about this, I had like to three or four callers in a row that vehemently disagreed with me and what I was seeing on that video in the way I was describing it. And so you know, I ask you, if you've seen it,

what did you see? Maybe you see something different than I did. And I certainly understand the idea that two people can look at the same thing and see see something different. And by the way, on this Peach Bowl game, Indiana is just just crushing Oregon thirty five to seven at the half. Unbelievable. Let's see, here's the way it was written up in by Matt Vespa. I'm not so

I'm sorry, this is not Matt Vespa. This is Hudson Krozer at the Daily Caller, and he writes at least three federal agents were seen approaching the now deceased driver's suv ordering her to step out just before the altercation occurred. The Department of Homeland Security blamed the driver for the incident in the statement, claiming she attempted to run the officer over just before he fired. Get out of the car.

Get out of the effing car. One agent was heard saying in the video as the group approached the vehicle on the snowy road a suburban in a suburban neighborhood. The agent then grabbed the car's door handle. A bystander is yelling no as the driver begins to move the car backward. Another agent was seen circling the car just as it was moving, eventually standing in front just before

the car lunged forward. You fired at least two shots at the driver as the car came towards him, and that is when you hear the impact on the video. So initially and immediately after this incident happened, and some of the first videos came out, The first couple of videos I saw on this were not very good at all. The action of what took place was out of frame, and so it was it was, you know, I don't know, maybe an hour or two hours later is when you saw a video that really gave you a good idea

of what happened there. But the left immediately called it murder. Some of the liberal narratives that got destroyed because of this video. Matt Vesper wrote it up in town Hall and he talks about Minneapolis still simmering because the ICE agent had to shoot and kill Renee. Nicole Good appeared to be attempting to ram a federal agent. Good was not fearing for her life as some suggest. She seems happy, happy as a clam. He writes, this obviously wasn't her

first rodeo. She was a professional left wing activist who trained others to disrupt ICE operations and led convoys to that end. We also see the wife of the domestic partner, Rebecca tning federal agent saying they'll change the plates before shots are fired. She's also heard yelling at Renee to drive as the agent is in front of the vehicle. The media went off the rails on the murder angle, yet did not analyze the full footage properly. Every legal

expert said this was likely a justified shooting. Yet Mayor Jacob Frye and other Democrats have gone insane and continued today with this notion that Ice agents are killers. The Governor Tim Wallace has been grossly irresponsible in framing this incident. Others like mandani ilhan Omar, they have been bad mouthing Ice and spreading false information about this incident as well. So I'm looking at these demonstrations in Minneapolis and there's

just it seems like they're lacking a little energy. I am going to predict that after tonight we're probably not going to see a lot more of them as the truth continues to come out. Let's go to Sharonville and say hey to Bobby. Bobby you're on seven hundred WW.

the questions. Sometimes they create more questions than they answer, and so you got to look at them, I think on a case by case basis, and I think this video, because of the different angles, really provides the context that we need. You know, we don't really have the context of how everyone got into the position that they were in, so that you know that that'll all wind up being

ferreted out. But you know, there are stories that this gal was helping to lead the protest, organizing people to get in the way and then obstruct this federal investigation, this federal operation. But the main elements of what happened here, I think are covered by multiple videos, and so you can you can see for yourself from different angles. There are some angles where it appears, you know, the guy may have been raised or standing off to the side

a little bit. But then when you see a different angle or reverse angle, the one that comes from down the street a little bit, I think is very conclusive where you actually see that individual, that ICE agent, getting hit and getting pushed back I don't know, five six seven feet and then I don't know if you saw the video that came out earlier today, but you hear the sound of that impact, and there is in my way of thinking, there's no question that that that vehicle

impacted that ICE agent in a in a serious manner.

wasn't confused. She was talking. She actually spoke with the ice officer, and I think you can hear us say, you know, I'm not mad, I'm not you know, It's all she was, you know, trying to be a little lighthearted and joking about it. And then whatever made her decide to to back that car up a little bit and then step on the gas and being aimed right at that officer, we will never know.

from Charonville. We appreciate him checking in nine to twenty five. We got to get to a break. New's coming up the bottom of the hour. But if you want to weigh in five one three, seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred, the big One, as we roll on till midnight tonight on seven hundred WW I got an egg one seven hundred WLW nine thirty eight.

We were talking about this. Zeke is in law enforcement and we were talking about the notion of uh, you know, the car being a deadly weapon and how as a as a police officer, as a law enforcement officer, you're trained to, you know, get out of the way, or that a car is a deadly weapon and they can be used against you as such. And so, and I encouraged everyone last night to follow Zeke on social media. And this is why he posted this a little while ago.

And he writes, since the left now believes he has an honest question, Since the left now believes you can just move out of the way when a car is approaching you, does this mean the next time they protest by blocking the streets, it's their own fault if they get run over because they could have just moved out of the way. If we're going to go down that road, let's go all the way down that road, my buddy, Zeke Arkham right there, Anderson, Indiana and Rex Rex, you're on seven hundred WLW.

hired them too? So they're watching them. They've got camra of people around while these protests are going on, and they're looking to make sure that the people they hired are actually protesting.

like it was quitting time, and everybody left. Oh, well, I think that's what go ahead.

and what they're patting in. The New York Post wrote, I'm going to refer to this in a in a moment, but there's a narrative about this that her partner was it was out of the car with her iPhone in hand, recording everything, and so the narrative is they were hoping to get in the cold good get to the point where she was going to be dragged out of the car and then roughed up by ice agents and they were going to use this as propaganda video to say, oh,

look they're you know, they're they're beating up innocent women. You know they they said, women didn't do anything, and she's getting the crap beat out of her, and uh, you know, she for whatever reason, she decided to uh make a different move and step on the gas and and try and plow down that that ice agent, and it didn't work out in her favor.

document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with anti ice activists through her six year old son's Wolke Charter School, which boasts that it puts social justice first and prioritizes quote involving kids in political and social activism. If you're sending your six year old to school, what is six russ When you're six years old? What are you?

First grade? First grade? Second grade? First grade? Do you want your first grader going to the school that prioritizes social justice and political activism. Is that what you send you That's what she sent her kid to school for. According to The New York Post, she was a warrior. She died doing what was right. A mother named Lisa, whose child attends the same school, told the Post at a growing visual where Good was killed on Wednesday, I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the

video plenty of times. But I also know in my heart the woman she was, and she was doing everything right. Good and her wife, Rebecca forty, were raised. They raised the boy together in the mostly working class, activist heavy neighborhood in South Minneapolis features tree lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ plus flags or signs depicting George Floyd, just as many

others did in the lefty enclave. Good sent her son to South Side Family Charter School, a K through five academy that is unabashedly dedicated to social justice education. According to the founder, Susie Appini, it was thought her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in the Ice Watch, a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ice raids in the sanctuary city, and so who encourages this activity, Well, that would be the mayor of Minneapolis

and the governor of Minnesota. They are all about these people interfering and disrupting and getting in the way of these federal law enforcement officers carrying out their duties. From my understanding, she was involved in social justice. Were a tight knit community, A lot of parents are activists. Former Southside Gym teacher Rashid Rich, who resigned from the school

last month, told the Post. He said current event topics like the killing of George Floyd were regular parts of the curricult one that last month, students took a field trip where they learned about Aboriginal issues, a reference to indigenous people and far away Australia. Why that's pertinent in Minnesota, I have no idea. Coalitions similar to ice Watch have cropped up all over the country, with activists using phone apps, whistles and car horns to warn neighbors of when ice

shows up. So you've got these groups all over the country, and apparently this woman was a mover and a shaker within the group that she was aligned with. Ice Watch recently shared an Instagram post on the group. The groups that encourage agitators to bring items that would help them barricade the streets. And that's another thing. I was watching Laura Ingram last night and she was there in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities, and she made the point that,

you know, these people, what do they do. They love open borders. They want illegals streaming into, not not streaming into, flooding into the United States, illegals all over the place. Perfectly fine with them. They're perfectly fine with all the fraud of the daycare centers and all the rest of it.

And then she noticed how they had their barricades there and how they protected their own borders, how they really didn't want people who weren't like them coming around to ask questions or take pictures or take videos or maybe have anyone that had a different idea than them. Don't want to answer those pesky questions, and they actually policed those borders, keeping people out, you know, the kind of

people that they don't want. So borders are okay for them, but when it comes to America and the rest of us, not so much. When Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it was the first time ICE agents where the targets of the It was not the first time ICE agents where the vehicles or the targets of vehicle rammings cars are deadly weapons. There's plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting good after she

struck him with her vehicle. In the last year, ICE and Customs and Border Patrol agents have been involved in more than one hundred such incidents. Federal Immigration officers were injured in Saint Paul, Minnesota after a Cuban illegal rammed ICE vehicles and struck agents. During the violent encounter on Sunday, ICE officers identified Juan Carlos Rodriguez from Marrow and the illegal alien from Cuba entered a white suv in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Conducted and there was a lawful traffic stop that was conducted. When officers ordered Rameri to rolled out his window, he allegedly refused, prompting warnings that they would break the window if he continued to disobey lawful commands. Instead, Ramera drove off and allegedly struck one of the officers while attempting to flee. Here's another one. In October, an armed woman was arrested after ramming agents in the Chicago area. In Los Angeles, a man is facing prison time after ramming

his vehicle into federal law enforcement agents. So there's all kinds of video out there of these incidents where they are using cars to disrupt and ram and injure federal agents. So this whole notion that she was using her car as a weapon trying to disrupt or hurt or maybe even kill a federal agent is not something that is far fetched at all, because it happens all the time.

Amandro is car into the gate of an FBI facility in Pittsburgh in September and November, Department of Homeland Security said ICE and CPB, we're facing an unprecedented search in vehicle rammings and attacks. In a statement, Department of Homeland Security wrote, we are seeing the results of the left constant demonization of the men and women of law enforcement. Dangerous criminals, whether they be illegal, aliens or US citizens, are turning their vehicles in the weapons attacking ICE and CBP.

Said Trish McLaughlin, Assisted Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Anyone who attacks law enforcement, especially using their vehicles, will be prosecuted to the fallistics end of the law. Since January twentieth, there have been ninety nine vehicle attacks against federal law enforcement, more than double compared to the forty

seven during the same period last year. Seventy one vehicular attacks against the Customs and Border Patrol since January twentieth compared to forty five during the same time in twenty twenty four. That is a fifty eight percent increase. Twenty eight vehicular attacks against ice since January compared to just two the same period of twenty twenty four. That is

a thirteen hundred percent increase. So do you think that when these law enforcement professionals have their daily briefings and they go out and talk about things before they go out into the field and conduct these operations, do you think they might talk about that. Do you think that they are not keenly aware of these individuals who would use their vehicles to attack them. I would think they are.

I would certainly hope they are, and I would think that this is something that is foremost on their mind. And then we had this from Rachel Maddow, who is just just a complete idiot. Rachel Maddow says protesters in America are close to being an unstoppable force against Trump. So when when someone like Mattow goes out there and says stuff like this, is that inciting violence and reckless behavior? Is that rallying the troops to whatever leftist liberal cause

that they have. And I don't know where she comes up with this, but she says, once you have three point five percent of a population protesting against a dick or an authoritarian, that is essentially an unstoppable force they can't oppose. So she is calling for three point five percent of the American people to take to the streets and actively protest and demonstrate and become an unstoppable force against Trump, because, according to her, he's an authoritarian and

a dictator. I'm looking at the video now coming in from Minneapolis, and they are in front of a building. It looks like a I don't know if it's a federal building, but it's a building that has some large, large plate glass windows in it. The whole front of the building, it looks like the entrance to the foyer area of this building. You've got multiple sets of double doors. The whole front facade is all glass, and there are

people pounding on the glass as we speak. So will that glass be intact in I don't know, ten minutes from now, fifteen minutes from now, an hour from now, come tomorrow morning. There is increase pounding on the glass. So that's what's happening in Minneapolis right now. So we'll keep you updated on that. Of course, you got guys with cameras. Hey, this this is going to be well documented from a video standpoint, because you've got people outn't.

I have no idea what building they are in front of, but Fox News is saying protesters gathering for another night of protest, and there are multiple It's it's like it looks like Russ. You ever watch The Walking Dead? You know, you know, you got those scenes in The Walking Dead where all the all the zombies are are coming after people and they're in a building and they're kind of well, you know, like walking up to the glass and they're you know, their hands are all all over the glass

and all that. That's kind of what that shot I just saw kind of reminded me of that. But no, I was talking about all the attacks on Ice Way and I got to get to a break. Now let's go go ahead, Well we will go ahead and do that now, but no November thirteenth, criminal illegal alien Fremil Salvador hit another vehicle, fled the scene before being apprehended

by Ice. And this just goes on to document the incidents where you have these federal agents who are coming under attack with people in their vehicles, but coming up after the news top of the hour, Kurt Hartman's going to be here, and the news broke last night about the city manager of Cincinnati wanting to enter into a settlement with the family of Rodney Hinton. Absolutely despicable, shameful my way of thinking, there's no way this should be happening.

And there's all kinds of other stuff going on at Cincinnati. We'll get the judges thoughts on that as we roll on till midnight tonight. It is Dan Carrolyn for Sterling on this Friday night on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW ten O seven, Dan Carolyn for Sterling tonight. Glad to be here Sterling, taking a little time off. I'll be here tomorrow, Hey Gary, Jeff Walker in the morning. Gotta be a great day, so stick around for that. Meantime.

We go on till midnight tonight. Russ Jackson's running the big board. Appreciate him being here five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand if you want to get on board. Although I do have a guest right now, and we say hello to the one time Hamilton County common please Court Judge Kurt Hartman and Kurt Great. Happy New year to you man. I think this is the first time I've had John in twenty twenty six. The heck are you?

Then the next day the father goes out and plows down Larry Henderson, Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy, ending his life. And the idea wait, when I mean from from a legal perspective, how how do how does the city manager come up with this notion that somehow a settlement is going to be necessary here when the investigations into this

have cleared this police officer of any wrongdoing whatsoever. How do how do you come up with this idea that, you know, maybe a few million dollars needs to be paid out to this family.

Countie Pillage, said it was a justified shoot. You know, but nothing prevents anybody from suing. You'll say someone's civil rights were violated, et cetera. So you know, yeah, they might be having a you know, the hidden family maybe chest counting all.

is the exact message that we are sending. And now we're talking about you know, I haven't seen a dollar figure attached to this, but it's probably it's going to be in the probably close to a million, maybe more than a million. But now we're saying that if you're a cop killer, we are going to make sure that your family is made whole. I mean, what what what are we thinking? What? What is? What? How can anybody be thinking that this is the kind of message that

you want to send out? We had protests last night in downtown Cincinnati, you know what I mean? These people they had to be out there saying, uh, you know what do I fill out a form? Am I going to get a text message? You know? When do I get my windfall of you know, maybe maybe five or six or eight grand?

this is the video. This is your son running from the cop, dropping the weapon, picking it up, pointing at police. That's why police shot and killed.

that is completely incompetent. It looks like the only the only problem solving skill this city manager has is to dig into the treasury and just shovel out as much money as she possibly can.

the business community. The business leadership is absent. So what we have is an absence of leadership on the political side, and we have an absence of leadership on the business side.

that absolutely despicable. And at the same time he's able to turn down free help from the from the state and the Ohio State and all and Governor de Wine and when you know, when he did do it, that would just do it a couple of days a week, and then he comes and says, look, we're gonna have public safety. We need more money, no.

we could be facing a big jury settlement. You know, typically in cases like this, they get you know, they get thirty million dollars and we're only going to pay eight million dollars. So this is this is really a good deal. And I'm like, no, no, it's not a

good deal. Look at the facts. I mean, you know, there no one was at fault when John Cranley issued that curfew and told people not to be on the streets back in twenty twenty, and no one was at fault at least a Cincinnati police officer in the Cincinnati Police Department was not at fault when this young eighteen year old kid ran from them, Ryan Hinton Junior, and pointed a gun at a Cincinnati cop and paid for it with his life.

there's this whole one point six million billion dollars. And Charlie Looking is saying, look, man, yeah, you've only spent I think what four point five million, and you've already realized, you know, you're gonna get more than twenty six million a year. And I mean, you know, the numbers are all over the place, but you know what, what is going on with this money? I mean, are we gonna wind up having a problem with this now that we you know, we have all this money rolling in this

well from this one point six billion dollars. And Charlie Looking is saying, look, it's time to start spending some of this. The streets are terrible around here.

on seven hundred WLW. Tig got the Big One seven hundred WLW ten thirty six going on till midnight tonight, Dan Carolyn for Sterling, So h A lot of the stuff that Sterling talks about we are not talking about tonight. So that's just that's just the way it breaks down. Sterling talks about a lot of stuff that I don't talk about, which is perfectly fine. Ah Man, did you know there was another incident involving ice in Portland, Oregon

that happened. I want to say it was a day before yesterday and there was a couple of suspects in a car that this was another ramming of and this was not ICE agents but CPB Customs and Border Patrol. And just a little while ago, the Portland Police Chief came out with a statement and confirmed what the Department of Homeland Security said about this from the very beginning.

There were two suspects in this case, and they confirmed that the suspects are connected to the Venezuelan gang trend de Argua and they're implicated in a July twenty twenty five shooting in Portland, Oregon. This was not an innocent married couple despite what Democrats and many of much of the left wing media had to say about this event, and the chief was talking about this and the city said, shame on the politicians who spread false information to stoke

fear and under my law enforcement score political points. So these individuals who did this in Portland definitely ow an apology for their for their behavior on this. I mean, it is absolutely this is trumped arrangement syndrome. It is absolutely sick and disgusting, and it really has just gone so far over the edge when you look. I mean, politicians have never been, as a group the most honest people on the planet. I think we can all agree

with that. But at least on matters of law and order, right and wrong, and when it comes to supporting law enforcement, I mean, can't we have at least some honesty there instead of trying to push a political narrative every time an incident takes place. I mean, it really just is disgusting. Let's go to Dan and Chevy and see what Dan's got tonight, Dan seven hundred wlwh No.

he was wrong and like brainwashing. He doubled down. He wanted to hate Ice so bad and like the escalation. So I was like, well, guns and cars both kill people. I said, cars killed more people than guns. I said, heck, we had a deputy in Cincinnati ran over by a guy. Like, there's proof right there. And those were your first two stories. I was like, well, perfect. And then another thing that a lot of people don't know is that same Ice guy that just got hit yeh had got hitting before

and had thirty six something stitches. Yeah, so after I'm getting hit and getting thirty six stitches, I'm not waiting around for someone else to run.

a Cincinnati police officer, and this goes back several years. Uh, Kevin Craon was his name, and he was in part of his traffic stop I want to say, was up in Mount Airy and uh and the and the I think there was a young person who was behind the wheel and may have been underage, and Kevin Crayon got tangled up with that vehicle and that driver took off, sped on down the road and Kevin Craon lost his wife because because of an incident involving a car. So

it can happen very very quickly. And again you have that even less than a split second to make that decision.

video realized that, you know what. But good for him. Good for him that he can realize that he had been processing not complete information the whole time. So a good call. Thanks for that call, Dan and Chevy. I appreciate that Donald Trump announced earlier today that he has called off a previously anticipated second wave of strikes on Venezuela, citing improved cooperation with the country's interim government. I think

that's good news. The announcement comes just a week after the US operation that resulted in the capture and arrest of the Venezuelan dictator, Nicholas Mduro, and days after the President said a second attack was on the table if the new government did not behave So you folks and Venezuela, you've got to behave In a true social post, the President revealed he had canceled those strikes, saying the new government is now working well with the US on rebuilding

its oil and gas infrastructure and releasing large numbers of political prisoners. President made clear, however, that he will maintain control over Venezuela for an undefined extended period of time until the country is fully stabilized. And you know, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not sure I have and I've talked to a couple of different experts on this. I'm not sure I have a complete understanding of why this

policy is being ruled out the way it is. Trump's announcement comes less than a day after he said strikes were being prepared against drug cartel facilities. Despite canceling the second wave of strikes, Trump said US naval assets would remain in place for the time being, which I guess is a good thing. There was another tanker that was seized. I had that, and I think this makes five tankers now that that have been seized by the military. I

guess it's their joint operations. But the military seized a fifth tanker in the Caribbean Sea. They announced that earlier today. Marines and sailors from the Joint Task for Southern Spear launched from the Gerald R. Ford in a pre dawn operation apprehending the Oleina without incident. And Southern Command said the operation received support from the Navy's Amphibious Ready Group, including the USSE He would Regima San Antonio Fort Lauderdale.

So once again, our joint our joint forceressent a clear message this morning. There is no safe haven for criminals, said the US Southern Command. Now let's see, here's what Christy Noam had to say about it. She put it out on x Early this morning, the Coastguard executed a boarding and seizure of the motor tanker Oleina in international waters east of the Caribbean as another ghost fleet tanker ship suspected of carrying and bargoed oil this vessel. This

vessel had departed Venezuela attempting to evade US forces. A close coordination with the Department of War, State Department, Justice Department ensured a safe, effective boarding consistent with law. The ghost fleets will not outrun justice. They will not hide under false claims of nation. The Coastguard will seize sanctioned oil tankers and force US international law and eliminate these

funding streams for illicit activity, including narco terrorism. We are deeply proud of the Coastguard in the Maritime Fighting Force for their relentless execution of this mission. This is owning the sea. And so there's some video some of that green greenia whatever that video comes. I guess maybe it's a drone, but it seems like the picture would be a lot better. I mean it's a you know, it kind of looks like like a negative on a photograph used to look not not the sharpest video that you

will ever see. Let's go to Mason and say hey to Vince. Vince here on seven hundred WLW, what's.

just hearing the audio doesn't really do justice. But you have to admit, Vincent, and I appreciate you calling on this that the moment the car makes it makes impact with that ice agent, that is very telling that that that officer got hit hard by that car. And I don't know, there's there's no denying that.

It's simply that's just collateral damage. As long as they're out there doing what they can and further into of their agenda, that's the only thing that matters. And it's it's really it's getting to a point where it's really sick.

the Cunningham Show was when that video came out. So I didn't really have time to look at it and die jested and be able to talk about it in a meaningful way. But between shows tonight I was, I was at home. I looked at it multiple times, and it is It is very telling how that particular point of view drives home this notion that this was a very serious incident and all this stuff about we just could have shot the tires or jumped out of the

way or done something miraculous. No, it doesn't work that way, doesn't work that way. What else is going on? Oh?

I love that? I love the Scott Descent was on with Loura Ingram last night and they were talking about what's going on with the Somali welfare scan and so the Treasury Secretary has come up with a plan that that is going to help the American tax He says the the that we, the American citizens, it turns out, unbeknownst to us, are apparently the biggest funder of a terror organization linked to Al Qaeda, and Scott cent and

Donald Trump say it's not going to happen anymore. So here's what Scottsent, speaking on Fox News Thursday night, announced that those who were on public assistance must check a box before sending remittance abroad, and that the administration would be pushing regulations which would forbid those on public aid from sending money to other countries. It seems like such a simple idea. It is absolutely in my opinion, it

is absolutely brilliant. If you are receiving aid from the federal government, then you have no business one dime overseas. Does that make sense? If you are receiving largest from the federal government, why are you receiving that because you need it. You need it to pay your heat, you need it to be able to have food on the table,

you need it for your medical bills. We should not be in the business of subsidizing an individual, any individual, and especially illegal aliens to the point to where they have excess money sitting around and they can just ship it overseas. Scott Pssent said, from now on, anyone who wires money out from one of these money service businesses has to check a box saying whether or not they

are on public assistance. And if you are on public assistance, will start pushing that you cannot wire money out of the country. When asked what happened if they didn't tell the truth, he said, well, then that's a crime. Lying on a federal form is a crime. I know, we don't like to, you know, hold people accountable for lying to the Feds, lying about things like this, lying about anything. We don't like to hold people accountable for that. But

Scott besaid says, no, not anymore. You lie, you lie in that federal form, you check that box saying you are not a Look to me, what you do with your money should be your business. I largely feel buy and large that what you do with your money is absolutely no business of the federal government. But in this case, you're talking about people who are on public assistance. They

are getting tax payer dollars from the federal government. So my way of thinking, that makes it the government's business to make sure that that money is being used for what it's meant to be used for. It is meant to help the individual who was receiving that money, not meant to be shipped overseas the American people. Our generosity has been taken advantage of, Assent, said. Our generosity is funding Somali terror group Al Shabab and Iranian interest, said

Laura Ingram. He said the money is supposed to go for. The money is supposed to go for alleged asylum seekers in their families and children. If you're wiring money out of the country, one of two things must be true. You are getting too much money and your benefits should be cut, or you were part of this conspiracy. Sending money to terrorists is something that we should not abide in any way, shape or form. And thank God for someone like Scott Bscent who is going to take steps

to see that it no longer happens. We got to get to a break news coming up the top of the hour, and then in the eleven o'clock hour a couple of more guests. I've got my buddy Curtis out from NewsBusters dot Org, and we're gonna talk about the way this whole thing has been covered and what the media and again the whole notion of and it's something that I say all the time that the American people are poorly served by the national media, and in this case it's not true across the board, but by and

large it is true. And we'll get into that. And then my friend Tina Duskovich from Moms for Liberty, it's been a while since we've had a little chat with her. We'll catch up with Moms for Liberty and find out what they're in through. And they've got a big event coming up, so we will discuss that as we roll on till midnight tonight. Dan Carroll inf Sterling on this Friday night on seven hundred WLW, seven hundred WLW, I'm Dan Carroll, glad to be here, Glad you are here

as well. Always glad to welcome in my next guest. You know, one of the things I talk about a lot behind this microphone is media, the national media, and

how things are covered by the national media. I have a lot of criticism, and I think it's criticism that's well learned because I spend so much time in television and radio and I've got a pretty good idea how things work behind the scenes and there's one place you can go to get all the coverage of what is happening in national media, and that is NewsBusters dot Org MRC.

And Curtis Holk is the managing ed of the there, and I've had him on a lot, but I think this is the first time we've had a chance to talk in twenty twenty six. And Curtis hal Happy New Year and welcome back to seven hundred WLW.

give credit. And NBC News in the day after the day of the incident in Minneapolis where the ice agent unfortunately had to shoot and kill that woman, Tom Lomas, and they had an analyst there and they did a segment that was honest, a segment that was forthright, and they analyzed frame by frame the video from that scene and they did an on I thought they did a very honest and straightforward assessment of that. So I want

to give credit especially to Tom Lomas. I mean, this guy, when he was making his bones, he was covering the Trump campaign. You could always count on him being a reliable Trump basher, a reliable tool for the left to get the word of the agenda out there as best he could. But in this instance, they did an honest analysis of that video, frame by frame, and so at least starting off this conversation, I want to give them credit for that.

of teeth. But the reason that segment, I'll just say real quick, is really good is because Tom Winner is the law enforcement reporter there. It was almost like a football play, you know, bringing it frame by frame, kind of circling things, kind of pointing things out.

Scott Jennings the other day he talked about this being a deadly consequence of political vigilanteism, you know, and the difference between observe and obstruct law enforcement and calling law enforcement gestapo. But I think the key here is that this is going to be found likely to be awful but legal. Tom Winner also said that earlier in the day of the NBC's coverage in the moments thereafter, and that's okay, But that kind of nuanced dand is not

allowed on CNN and MS. Now it's Trump administration, Ice, bad, evil, stupid Jacob.

in Queens, New York. They were chanting that we support hamas in other cities across the country, they were talking about taking out the head of Homeland Security, Christy nom and hanging them aric, talking about killing ICE agents and things like that. Where's the national network reporting on that sort of hateful rhetoric.

fears of solo female athletes. So, and this corresponds with a text I saw on X and the individual said, you know, if this woman in Minneapolis had been killed by an illegal alien, we wouldn't be going through all these changes that we're going through right now here in the in the media or the debate on this. There would be there would be no outrage at all.

You may remember Nick Sammon, the the Covington kid, and you know, he was the one that was the initial reporting came out that he was at the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Monument and he was standing in the face of this, you know, this this Indian dude who was just trying to you know, the guy was being very disrespectful. He had a mega hat on, and of course he was a Trump supporter, so the media rushed

to judgment on this kid. It just told very fall defamatory things about him, and he wound up with a multimillion dollar settlement against against CNN that may have been in the hundreds of millions of dollars. And he was saying that he was seeing parallels between that coverage and the coverage that surrounded this incident in Minneapolis, and he's

seeing some parallels there. And the question I have about that is, you know, I think there was some soul searching from media local and national about the way they rolled this story out and how quickly they were putting that false narrative out there because and I think the same element drives that coverage as the coverage we're seeing on this is that if this accrues to the negative for Trump, then we are going to go ahead and put it out there, and ethics be damned, damn the torpedoes,

We're going to put it out there, and if it hurts Trump that is, you know, we'll deal with the fallout later and clean up the mess later. And I think we're seeing the same sort of thing then, as we're seeing that.

much fatigue I can pretty much guarantee there is. I know that Paul Farkeey, a former Washington Post media reporter, has been trying to get some anti Trump book published, and he shared on social media the other day that like publishers are basically like Yeah, we've reached a point of saturation with these Trump books. Nobody's really buying them, So you wonder if you're going to hit that point in news as well. I mean, it's very disingenuous. And the other point I'll just make is, in some of

these cases, it's too good to check. It's too good to check for them because you've got to get to air. And it's not just about rushing Terran being first, because yes, I think that's one in claim, But the main thing is is to get a set of narratives out there, because it's very difficult to put the truthpaste back. And then two, as we saw with Michael Brown and hands up, don't shoot, it's very hard once a set of facts are established, or that the president is a Russian agent,

that those kinds of things. The quicker you get those things set and in the ether, the harder it is to kind of reel things back in if once the facts come out it's different than what they were promoting.

it's really getting to the point. And we we know, we see all these these uh different media pundits bemoaning the fact that you know, there's no trust in the media anymore, and somehow I guess that's Trump's fault too. But they have by and large, uh, if not one hundred percent, brought the distrust that they enjoy from the American people at this point in time, they brought it on themselves.

the federal government and all the rest of that. And this guy is just being maligned from one end to the other. I think there was a time in this country where this guy would have been celebrated and said, look at the courage, Look what this guy is doing going out there with it with his own camera, his own on his own initiative, and doing the job that

your typical reporters ought to be doing. And I think there was some local reporting on this in Minneapolis that was done years ahead of time when this story first broke, I think was back in about twenty fifteen. But they have this guy out there and they have Hi his name just smeared, and have his work pooh poohed by the national media. Is I look at that and that's a disgrace instead of recognizing what this guy has gone.

people how old are you? Are you going to investigate the actual merits of this or are you just going to like attack him personally. I think they settled on we're just going to attack him personally instead of trying to, you know, see about what's going on here, or they just say without evidence and hope that people that aren't is tuned into the news, you know, slink away and stop asking questions.

I also give a full size candy bar to make up for the fact that I'm giving.

that is happening. I would also imagine that the way things are in this country right now, there are some schools who would resist that idea of given as Sadly, I think there are schools and teachers and probably different school administrations that would frown on the idea of your group passing out constitutions copies of the constitutions to their sty.

the classroom from having access to their cell phones. So there's already some school districts around here that have already started policies like that. I think it's a great idea take the cell phones and that distraction away from kids while they're in school and in the classroom. What does Moms for Liberty have to say about that idea of we know, the kids walk into school, they put their cell phone away, or they keep it in a secure pouch, or they can't be looking at it all day long.

What do you think about that notion of taking the cell phones out of the hands of kids during the school day.

and I don't like that one. But so I think there's probably a healthy hybrid where they can put them away as they entered the classroom door, leave some teachers put charging booths at the door, leave you all of your phones right here by the door, so that they can focus during class, but have them in between.

to get rid of the frigidity of capitalism and rugged individualism for the warmth of the collective. And I just think there's so many, especially young people who voted for this guy in New York City, and I see that as an indictment on our education system because these people, so many that voted for him, just think it's going to be all rainbows and unicorns and the rest of it. And they have really no clue about the history of the failure of socialism and communism across the world and

it never works, it never has worked. But yet somehow they want to go out there and celebrate all these socialists and communist ideas that are coming to New York City.

that's that's on that that's like the good end. Like if you were like on the scale of all the horrible things they've done, that's probably like, oh, that's really not that bad. That's just a little confusing and a little.

be feeding kids and all the rest of it. And it seems like we get this message that is intentionally meant to confuse people. When you talk about immigrants that come into the country, and on one hand, you know there are many many of them may be refugees, they may be here illegally, some may be here legally for different things, But it doesn't seem that we really get

a clear picture from the media. And I think think a lot of people are confused about, you know what, why are we cracking down on this particular community or these particular individuals when when when you know they're they're just here for the American experience, for the American way of life. But yeah, we get so much mixed messages there. I think people look at this and again that whole issue of confusion comes into play when you look at the way this is presented to the people.

getting away from that. But the whole idea, there's still a lot of places around this country where they are fighting this tooth and nail, and people look at this notion of having teenage boys compete against girls in sports. They want to act as if there's nothing wrong with that and it's no big deal. But in so many of these people have spent time with Title nine and trying to get better situations for women in sports and

all the rest of it. But yet in so many cases they're willing to throw all that away just to pursue this agenda item.

You can move all the way up to the early two thousands and the twenty tens, when we started seeing here in Florida policies, especially in Obama under President Obama, they started, you know, the dear colleagues, let dear colleague letters to school districts where they started pulling the putting in the word gender identity into all these discrimination policies

across the country. They were laying the groundwork. And you know, now in hindsight, we can look back and see steps that were taken systematically, well planned out to bring us to where we are today, and so we have to be smarter. We have to see these things coming. But like you said, the administration first executive order at the gate, I believe was get boys out of girls sports. And we at Monster Liberty have been fighting it, and we've

sued the bid administration. We've got a federal injunction. There's so many good people really fighting this. But it is remarkable that that's where we are.

or on their sports teams. And so we have to take it directly to bad initiatives and state laws and handle this in other ways because President Trump cannot save us forever.

preserving it for future generations. We have so many things coming up in twenty twenty six for America two fifty and maybe you can have me back on soon to talk about some of these big events for partnering with Glenn Back and Mercury one and some others.
