12-28-23 Gary Jeff Walker in for Scott Sloan

He's actually the Scott's Loan Show. I am not Scott'sloan Show, but if you're tuning in for that, I apologize and well, better luck next year. Literally, Gary Jeff Walker in for Sloaney today with a kind of a daytime version of what I do at night. Here with some of the same Gary Jeff Posse. Guests have been rounded up and are ready to go. If you love Sloaney, well, I'm sorry this ain't that, but hopefully

we'll have some fun and we'll talk about things that are important. It has been all together a wonderful so far wonderful holiday time, Christmas and looking ahead to new year for me and my family, and I hope your fate has been the same. I will tell you that our first guest today spent five weeks, five weeks overseas. He did get to come home for Christmas,

so good for him. He is with the Center for Immigration Studies. He is a well known, renowned author of a couple of books, first America's Covert Border War, which seemingly we have lost at this point, and the latest book is Overrun. As I mentioned, he works for the Center for Immigration Studies and for the last five weeks. He has been in fire flowing places like Budapest studying how the immigration crisis, and there has been a crisis in Europe for quite a long time, how that is evolving. He is

a first hand look. He was one of the first people that I talked to and one of the first people who was reporting on the certain death spiral

crisis on our southern border. Talking to the people who are coming in from not just the Triangle countries, not just Mexico, but from all over the world Communist China, India, terrorist countries, and they are still flowing freely to talk about his experiences in Europe and what's going on, and looks like Europe is thinking about actually solidifying their borders again because the experiment has not worked

well of being a sanctuary country or being a sanctuary city. And we're finding that to be the case in American cities that were so open to armed just oh a year or two ago, now their arms are getting full. Please welcome to the show, Todd Bensman from the Center for Immigration Studies. Todd, Good morning, and happy New Year. Almost yeah, thank you for having me. Happy New Year, and Merry Christmas, and good tidings.

Appreciate you having me. Yeah, so, first and foremost, the latest book is overrun from your own eyewitness accounts and news reporting from our southern border. And you took a sabbatical. You were tasked with the not a sabbatical, but you were tasked with the charge of being in in Europe and studying what's going on there with immigration. So give us just kind of a an overall view of what's happening on the other side of the pond where it comes

to sure immigration. What did you see and what's going on there? Sure? Well, there are a lot of striking parallels between what's happening to Europe right now and the US southern border. So that's one of the reasons I went to see how the Europeans are handling this and what they're going to do about it. There is a major, major surge in illegal immigration into the

European Union. That's the twenty seven countries that are all kind of banded together in this kind of collaborative and it has external borders, you know, five thousand you know, miles of sea and land, very tough to patrol.

And in twenty fifteen they had a matt major like you know, three million people just poured in from Afghanistan, and they kind of thought that they had it under control in more recent years, but in twenty twenty three they saw tripling in the total numbers encountered going over their borders, the most since twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, three hundred and fifty thousand at last count you know, up from you know, one hundred thousand from the year before, a

couple of years before. So they've got a problem. And one of the major routes that was largely shut down by fencing, called the Balkan Route, coming up from Turkey, Greece, through Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia and on up through Slovenia and into the EU, is on fire again. And that's where I went. That's where I went. I went to eight

different countries all along they're interviewing people and immigrants and all the rest. And I guess some of the main takeaways that I would offer is that the Europeans are especially the voting publics in all of these countries, do not want this

again. They went through it already once twenty fifteen. Memories are still pretty fresh from that, and they are moving sharply to the right to embrace right wing and conservative parties in all of these different countries which are forcing their liberals that are actually a government to take pretty tough action, or to consider tough action that would include, you know, deportation and detention and sort of universal

toughness along all of their external borders policies that you know, we obviously here in the United States might consider or reflect on, or pay attention to at the very least. Well, Todd, here's the thing. What happened in Europe in twenty fifteen that you referenced and is happening again or trying to foment again, should have been an indication that this was not where America should be going, and this is not a pattern that we should be following. And

yet we did not learn from that lesson. Apparently that there are parts of France that no longer have a French culture whatsoever because of the influx of mostly Muslim immigrants into that country, whether you call them refugees or immigrants or what. There has to be some kind of control of your own borders or you do not have a sovereign state. And this is I think we're seeing this

in this country too. If you look at the polling about what people think about, particularly the Biden administration's border policy, which has been basically no border policy whatsoever, and the continuance of catch and release, and you know, bussing to all parts of our country scattered out, not just from sanctuary cities, but little towns all over, and it is definitely changing the shape and

culture of these places, and not for the better. They're not contributing or adding in my opinion, and a lot of people are holding that opinion. But you mentioned that there's been a massive swing to the right in Europe. I think it's starting to happen here. Just your thoughts, right, I

would agree. I think, you know, what's going on in Europe as a harbinger of what ought to be happening here, or maybe very well be happening here in the United States. You know, Geart Wilders, a Dutch politician who led the Party for Freedom just you know, want to resounding victory, is probably going to be you know, leading that country, the Netherlands. Uh. And he's a staunchly, staunchly uh you know, anti illegal

immigration, especially from Muslim countries. Uh. This guy was elected a leader and just a month or two ago, UH and many of the other In Germany, the you know, the the kind of right leaning UH party UH is leading in all the polls, and there are elections coming up in the summer over there. UH. So we're seeing the voting populations over there.

They've just had it. They don't want this, and they're demanding UH, you know, stricter, tougher, deterring detention and deportation policies, which right now don't exist in the EU. UH. The eu IS has taken most of the countries there are run by liberal governments, or many of the countries there run by liberal governments that do what we do here in the United States, which is we let them in and let them stay and never deport anyone.

They've got like a million person backlog of deportees over there that they won't they won't execute. I interviewed immigrants over there who said I'm coming in because i know I'll never be deported. I had an Algerian tell me that in English on the record, and I put his video up, and I had others tell me the same thing. It's it's just this same policy that is

responsible for what's happening at our own southern border. I saw an interview with an immigrant at our southern border last night or the night before, with his demands to be let into the country and be allowed to stay. It was demanding that President Biden did the These people are all looking at Joe Biden and no wonder since he offered the invitation right from the beginning his campaigning, he offered the invitation, and he's he's left. He's lived up to that promise

of letting everyone in and not deporting people. I mean, it's just insane. And the fact that they're actually talking about ramping up to portion deportations in this country right now is strictly because it's an election year and the American people don't want this. Right the ship, I think we're seeing the ship start

to turn in the United States Politically. It didn't in twenty twenty two in the midterms, no, but here we are a year plus later, and cities like Chicago, New York, Denver, Boston, Washington, DC are absolutely reeling with controversy and rebellion by Democratic constituencies like the black communities and Latino communities that always vote blue are now demanding that the Biden administration reversed this because

their communities are being wounded, grievously wounded and hurt by the money being diverted from their communities to these foreign nationals that are mostly here illegally. Many of the people who are many of the people who are coming to this decision are legal immigrants to this country who've come from all over the world. But they've

jumped through the hoops. They've waited there sometimes ten fifteen years to become legal residents, and they are most they take the most umbrage I think at a lot of this illegal immigration, this line jumping that has been going on full throttle ever since the Biden administration took office. You know, you can talk about the numbers, the three hundred and fifty thousand number that you referenced earlier in one country, the twelve thousand, the record number, like the twelve

thousand people a day coming into our country just in this last wave. It's nuts if you can actually equate that to the size of the population of a city. You know, three hundred and fifty thousand is slightly more than the population of the city is Cincinnati, it's insided city limits. It's more than

the city of Cincinnati has come in. When you say three hundred and fifty thousand, if you're talking about twelve thousand people a day coming in Todd that is the small town where I live, Southgate, Kentucky, by twice. I mean, it's massive. Just to say the numbers is one thing, but to understand in context of America's population, it's absolutely their enormous numbers and they should scare everyone to death. Well, yeah, numbers are unbelievable.

They're they're they're the biggest numbers of border crossers. I think in the history of the world. I'm not aware of any other nation that has ever even during wartime World War One, World War Two. I mean, just since Monday, we had forty five thousand cross the southern border that fills Yankee Stadium man three and a half days. Forty five thousand people. And that's not

including the gataways. The people we don't know about, including those, are just the ones that turn themselves in to because they know they're being processed in within twenty four hours, they're in the country. And the cities that are Democrat cities with Democrat constituencies that always vote Democrat, are absolutely furious. Go look, go google the Chicago Assembly chambers and see what's been going on every week, week after week, month after month of rebellion, open rebellion.

We're voting Republican. We can't believe we've been voting Democrats for you people all this time. That sort of thing. And I think that it's very similar to what's going on in Europe, and the Europeans are now implementing policies that may, if they just enforce them, actually turn the tide. This is the thing, Todd. We have all kinds and we don't need new immigration legislation in this country. We've got laws on the books. They're just not

being they're not being allowed to enforce the laws that already exist. And you cannot you cannot have a country without borders, and you cannot have a country,

a sovereign country without the rule of law. They've been ignoring the rule of law, and they being the Biden administration or anybody else who's not allowing border patrol to do their job and deport people who come into this country illegal, which should happen automatically every time they catch them at the border until they can prove they have a legitimate asylum request and because you want a better job is not a legitimate asylum request. That's right, that's right. Yeah,

I mean that's really always the key. When you detain and then detained for lengthy periods of time, which which is the law, and then deport which is the law, they stop coming. Nobody wants to lay down ten thousand dollars in smuggling fees and sell everything they own if there's a good chance that they're not going to make it. It's just that simple, and the Europeans

have figured that out. It's the same there as it is here. This whole thing could be shut down at these levels, could be shut down inside of about forty eight hours. Yes, with I mean, this is not a tough calculus at all. It's not even as hard as a route cube. It's not difficult at all. Just follow the law and do what the law says. And then they talk about the inhumane treatment of the immigrants. They are facilitating more inhumane treatment by allowing this NonStop flood to come in with

none of nowhere to go for these people. Well, remember that when you hear the words inhumane and cruel, their definitions. The people who are defining that define it as detention and deportation. The exercise of the law is what they think is inhumane and cruel. So therefore dispense with those inhumane and cruel things and let them all in. So sixty so sixty people being being killed in a tractor trailer because they have no food, air, or water.

That's humane and cruel. That's not cruel, that's not inhumane. It's unbelievable. People drowning coming across the Rio Grande. That's not inhumane and crew all because of failed policy and not following the law. Todd Bensman, cis dot org is the way to contact your organization, and I wish you continued success and keep reporting the truth, my friend. Thank you. Yeah, I'll be back on our own border here all of twenty twenty four, so all

right, eye out. I will look forward to your reports, Sir Todd Bensman with us Rick Robinson, who wrote a great, great book called nineteen sixty eight coming up after news. Who's the man with the stories others hide? Willie, Who's the man who can laugh and still be serious? Willie, Who's the man who's breath always smells like a simmering pot of centinnati Chilly

Willie Willie Cunningham, the voice of up people. Just like showering the stinky sweat off your body, Listening to my show is like a big silky path of freedom. Today at New one seven hundred WLW and catch the podcast of a show onderfully iHeartRadio. App Let me guess you go bathroom and you've tried to clean that grout a million times, it's still nasty looking, and maybe the caulking around the tub or the showers seen better days itself. Stay remembering

nineteen sixty eight. I'll make you see, of course Big Brother and the Holding Company, Janis and the lead woman, possibly a little swap of the music from that similar year in America's history. A man who has written a book about that year and its effect on us even to this day, especially baby boomers, not just across the country, but here in the Try State. Rick Robinson joins us on this Thursday morning. Rick Robinson, author of nineteen sixty eight. He's an attorney and he is our guest. Rick.

How are you doing, Gary Chef? I am doing great. Man. You know what, You listen to a song like that and you come to understand that nineteen sixty eight came with its own soundtrack, Yeah, I did Yeah, I did it Yeah. And by the way, today, on December twenty eighth and nineteen sixty eight, two big events happened du tell.

First off, the first East Coast rock festival took place, the Miami Pop Festival December twenty eighth, nineteen sixty eight, featured Joni Mitchell, Leetwood, Max, John Kay and Stephen Wolf and The Grateful Death and the the other thing that happened was the white album Hit Number one. How about that though? The double album here today, the double album The Beatles, which was basically like four solo albums put together because at this point they were all just

recording whatever they wanted to record. They occasionally were in the studio together for that. Uh that. That's an incredible collection of music and probably the most disparate and wild hodgepodge of Beatles that were on any album that they put out in their tenure together. And you talk about the Miami Music Festival with said you got Joni Mitchell and you've got John k and Steppenwolf on the same stage.

It was Crazy and Mac and the Dead Yeah, and that was the Fleetwood Mac long before Stevie and Lindsay that was the Fleetwood Mac of the Peter Green and the original Fleetwood right those. Yeah. So I mean, do you write about the music scene in sixty eight? I guess you'd have to. You can't not write about the music scene in nineteen sixty eight. So each chapter, what I've done in this book, Gry Jeff, is I've listed what was tracking as number one on the country charts, on the pop

charts, and on the R and B charts. See, you know, as much as a lot of folks were around here listening to, you know, Jim Scott on WSAI, I spent as much time listening to Lincoln Ware on WCIM. Yeah, I love the R and B side of it, big R and B fan. So each month starts out with a listing of everything that was number one in that timeframe. But the other thing that I go into is that, you know, we had some remarkable bands here in

Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky. So I focused on the New Line, which Judge Mickey Folger was drummer for over in Campbell County. I focused on the Dingoes,

of which my friend John de Moscow was the bass player. I focused on the Denims who were in the who has you know, Cincinnati's answered to the Beatles and the you know, the drummer for the for the Denims was the was a kid named Steve Blow who later became known as Adrian Blue is now one of the most influential guitarists in the history of rock from right here in the Cincinnati area. And I know Mickey Folger and uh and he was

man for a guy who would be known as a family court judge. He was known as a rock star around or you know his his involvement with wheels later on and you mentioned the new line. Uh, and he actually is still out playing today. Were you able to contact any of those people? Are are they all still around or who's gone? And oh yeah, we was able to contact all. Had had a nice discussion with with Mickey, had a great discussion with John to Moscow and uh, you know talking about

the Dingoes. Was able to and this was this is fun, I mean one of the things that they had. I've had the joy and the pleasure Gary Jeff of being able to interview some of my heroes over the year years. And you know in columns that I've written and one of the people that I was able to get in touch with years ago. On the fiftieth anniversary of the Eve of Destruction, I had what should have been a five minute phone interview with Uh, the guy who wrote that song, Uh, and

it ended up turning into like an hour and a half. We just talked, Yeah, you know, we just you know, Barry Maguire and I just sat on the phone to talk. And so I sent him a copy of advanced reader of the of the book Barry's eighty nine. Now it doesn't get out in public life very much, but sent me a note yesterday and told me what a wonderful message the book was. Oh, that's great.

It's just a nice thing to get back. Sure, let's Barry. Barry was part of this national movement, like with Tommy smothers who passed away this week, that believed they could change the world with music. Barry told me one time that you know, when when the Eve of Destruction hit number one, they thought, here we are, we're doing it, We're on our way. And the next week he was knocked off the charts by hang On

Sloopy. So, you know, hang On Sloopy, It's okay, We're talking about popular music here, but there's so much more in this book. Nineteen sixty eight. The author's Rick Robinson. He's on the phone with us now, and Rick, let's talk a little bit about the local political scene in nineteen sixty eight and how it was changing in Cincinnati, and if it

was changing, I mean it was changing. The political landscape was changing everywhere in nineteen sixty eight because of all the different things that were going on, the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and then Bobby Kennedy. There was so much unrest. The college campuses were kind of a flame,

and I think that we see a lot of that still today. In fact, there are a lot of mirrors and parallels between nineteen sixty eight and what we've seen at least the last four years politically, right, There really are parallels that you can draw, especially locally, Gary, Jeff. I mean, one of the things that closed the book with is in December, everybody starts doing their planning. There's all these articles in the newspaper about, Oh,

we're planning for this, we're planning for that. One of the things they were planning for in nineteen sixty eight was a new bridge across the across the Ohio River to improve the safety on the Princeton Bridge. Took a while working on it, but that'll give you know. One of the things that happened to this is that a lot of times you look at the issues and everything that old is new again. You just see this repetition of issues.

When when King and Kennedy are assassinated, you see the call for gun control. You see all the things that are that happened that before are still going. I think the one thing that is different in nineteen sixty eight is everything in nineteen sixty eight is about Vietnam. Everything, And that's really where I

got the inspiration to write the book. Was that, as people would say, oh, the country's going to hell on a handbasket, my response had always been, well, at eight nineteen sixty eight, you know what I'll tell you. Rick decided to go ahead. I decided to prove it to

myself. I started writing newspapers from sixty eight, and you go through month by month, chapter by chapter in this book of what was occurring, not just nationally but certainly locally here in Cincinnati in the area in nineteen sixty eight, and I don't know. It seems like there were times in twenty twenty, especially after the George Floyd situation in BLM riot not peaceful protests, but riots, Antifa riots, and how they were being reacted to or not reacted

to by the government. You know, I think twenty twenty gave sixty eight a run for its money. What are your thoughts there, you know, I think the big difference, Garry Jeff. One of the things I point out in the book is that there became in nineteen sixty eight a phenomenon in neighborhoods that everybody knew what it was about. I certainly remember experience in it. A couple of years later, when I was a little more more, I can remember it a little bit better. But that is the government car

pulling up in front of the house. Yeah, you know, the green dodge pulls up with no white walls, and two soldiers get up and knock on the door. Nineteen sixty eight was the bloodiest year of Vietnam. You had ted, you had the May Offensive, you have all these things happening, and as you get to that, you know, think about that phenomenon of somebody in you know, you're from Southgate. Somebody in Southgate a car pulling up at a neighbor's house, and everybody inside that house knows exactly what

it means. Well, the neighbors probably know too, you know well, and that's just it. The people inside the house that start grieving the moment they see the car, and the people on each side of them start breathing a sigh of relief of it's not my kid today. And I think that's the one thing that really set sixty eight apart from any other time in American history, because of all the loss of life in Vietnam of American soldiers.

It all revolves everything in nineteen sixty eight when I had a wonderful conversation with the artist that Rudlow, Tom Gaither, and that was Tommy's reflection on the whole thing. Was everything in sixty eight, from music to politics, everything was about Vietnam. All right, give me a highlight from July of nineteen sixty eight, wowly of nineteen sixty eight. July of sixty eight. There.

I think that's the time when when you look at it politically, everything starting to gel as you looked about the Republicans and the Democrats, No one's quite sure who's going to be the nominee of either party, and so you start having this influx of people that are suddenly starting to focus on is it going to be Humphrey, Is it going to be you know, is it

going to be Nixon? Or is somebody else going to challenge them? And the highlight of that month to me as we go through these things is that you know who they were whose show they were all trying to get on. No Bob Brunt, good old Bob. Bob had taken over for Ruth Lyons on the noon show. And you have to remember at that time they were number one in a regional network that covered from Indianapolis, you know south.

They were in nine cities breaking number one. And so everybody for Northern Kentuckians, especially Gary Jeff I always talking about, you know, we always help. During that time frame, we were the stepchild of local news. Right.

Sure, nobody wanted to report on what was going on in Northern Kentucky, but there was one guy we could all listen to in Northern Kentucky because we knew Bob was one of us, but not only was one of us Columbus Indianapolis, you know, has all these networks that he's gone through. They're all watching the show, and everybody that comes to town wants to be on the Bron show. Yeah. It really is kind of a phenomenon that that, you know, you don't have regional networks today, you don't have

what's going on, you know that that type of thing that's happening. But that was one of the things that really kind of stood out in my mind was that everybody wanted to be on on Bob's show. So we were still, as far as television goes in Cincinnati, we were still in the Bob Bron, still in the Ruth Lions phase to a lesser extent, or Ruth

was still a part of this. She had she had retired, Okay, all right, So it was Bob Bron who was kind of like the standard bearer for local TV and as you mentioned, the regional networks that were going on, enter bear for local TV. But Gary Jeffs something happens in sixty

eight that changes life for folks that were my age at the time. W X i X comes on to the to the to the to the television with the ANA and the loop antenna and the fuzzy picture and oh my god, look picture just that little bit so that we can watch Larry Smith and his Puppets, the Cool Ghoul at night, Nick von Haney, all those shows

come on, which had a great influence on me growing up. I mean that was, you know, Friday nights, you'd be watching the ghal uh, you know, and during the week you'd be watching Snarfy our Dog and Larry Smith and his puppets. I remember I was living somewhere else at the time, but at that time, I do remember the first UHF independent station coming on the air, and it was just a new world. You're right if you could get good reception, but you had to you had to.

You had to position that loop antenna just a certain way sometimes to get a good signal. And that becomes one of the big differences Gary Cheff between you know, if you talked about the last four years in nineteen sixty eight, in nineteen sixty eight, there were three sources of news NBCCBS, ABC, and they pretty much drove it down the middle, driven a lot, if pg O'Rourke would always say, driven a lot by advertisement, yep, Because if you wandered too far to the right or too far to the left.

A guy down the street who sold couches in the furniture store would bust your chops for it. Well, you know what I think. I think that's the Long comes. The Long comes one of our news channel cable and the right goes one way, the left goes the other way. News became entertainment by which you have an opinion going into and you want to find a news channel that validates your opinion. It was the explosion of social media. The

explosion of social media. Absolutely, social media pleads an interesting role, in particular with regards I think to civil rights and things that are happening that the one of the surprises from this book was talking to several prominent African Americans in northern Kentucky and talking about how there may be less voices now, but the voices off sometimes are louder. Nineteen sixty eight the book Rick Robinson, the

author from the nineteen sixty eight White Album or the Beatles. We close out, Rick, Thank you very much, Thanks Jared, Jeff good luck with the book. Yeah, you can pick it up a free order on Amazon and seemed to be in bookstore. Fantastic, We'll look for it. Crank this upally we take it to the top of the hour News at ten Love.

I've been none on New Year's Day or the day after, so why not some night taps in the middle of the day at the end of the week, Gary Jeff Walker with you again and for Scott Sloan on seven hundred WLW. Our next guest in this half hour is a guy I've spoken to on numerous occasions, and of course leading up to the vote on Issue one in Ohio, we had many conversations because he's on the other side of how

that turned out with the voters. He is Reverend James hard He's the CEO of a group called Compass Care. Compass Care has a network around the country ever expanding of pregnancy care centers for people who are you know, having questions, having issues, they're in crisis, and they help these people women, by the way, because men cannot have babies, they help these women find

solutions that don't include murdering their unborn child inside the womb. And Reverend Harden also is very adamant about, you know, when we talk about the transgender issues. By the way, in Ohio, Governor Dwine deciding whether or not he will sign the bill that restricts transgender boys or men playing in women's sports girls' sports in high school, and also the gender affirming care that some people,

which is to me just nuts. If somebody has a mental issue, you don't help solve that issue by assuring them that they're not crazy or they don't have some mental issues in thinking that they're not supposed to be in the body that they're in, so they're going to change everything. Well, we may get into that, but also I wanted to talk about the anti life

movements that are in otherwise pro life states. And no matter how issue one turned out in Ohio, I believe Ohio, at least by their elected officials and the Supreme Court and the leadership that was elected by the public, like Governor DeWine knew that issue won went too far and it guaranteed abortion right up to the time of birth in this state, which is horrendous to even think about. So once again, Reverend Jim Harden from Compass Care. He's the

CEO and he is our guest. Reverend Harden, how are you. It's great to be back with you. Thanks for having me. Yeah, thanks

for coming on today. So I wanted to talk about particularly the anti life movement mostly from outside states since it's been given back, since it's been given back to the states by the Dobbs decision in the United States Supreme Court, and the huge anti life push in states that are otherwise pro life, and there's an anti life push from outside the state of the Commonwealth of Kentucky where I live, that of course, has legislation on the books that does restrict

abortions, and they seem like perfectly acceptable restrictions. But then I'm not pregnant, So I mean, I wanted to hear you talk about the concerted effort and the money that's going in from the abortion industry into trying turn these states around. Yeah, well, you're you're you're right. This is an anti life push. Abortion. You know, abortion represents the ending, specifically the ending of not just a pregnancy, but a healthy, fully human life.

It's it's these I mean, if you want to be technical about it, it's the separation of of a mother, a healthy, a healthy mother from her healthy child in utero for the purpose of destroying a child. That's what abortion is, and the abortion the kind of anti life movement the abortion industry wants to redefine abortion by conflating it with miscarriage treatment. I'm not kidding you.

They have chemical abortion. One of the chemical abortion drugs in their chemical abortion regiments called mister Prostell, and people like Senator Elizabeth Warren want to want them to change the label on this misterprostle drug, which is specifically designed as an anti ulcer medication. They want to change the label to be to read miscarriage treatment. You know, they they they want they want to tell them.

They've been telling the public that you know, if if you know, these states restrict abortion, then women are going to die in the operating table for you know, when they're going through an emergency miscarriage because the doctors aren't going to are going to be barred from from serving them. Totally untrue, totally lie. It's one of the lies that was propagated in Ohio ahead of

the Proposition one vote, remember or yeah it was? It was. And by the way, where does the money come from to promote these lies in the media, Because they spent fifty eight million dollars doing it. The money did not most of the money, the line's share of the money came from places like New York. Uh, George Soros's uh, you know, fun it's dark money. And this is all basically document comes from Planned Parenthood, also based in New York, So you're getting New York is the abortion capital

of the world, obviously the abortion capital of the United States. All the policy determinations come out of New York State. They're more abortions in New York State per capital than any other state and union. They're promoting abortion. They're they're building the chemical abortion infrastructure to send dangerous chemical abortion drugs in the mail to pro life states, which is illegal, by the way, according to

the Comstock Act. But they don't care. This is a concerted effort to bring big abortion, billion dollar abortion business money into pro life states to buy for their industry in that state. And they don't care what they have to do. If they're willing to kill a child lying to the public, there's no big deal to them. And that's what they're doing, or that's a good point. If you're willing to commit murder, who's been lying? Is

nothing on the Liz No exactly. And that's what and that's what they're doing. That's that's what they're that's how they're getting the vote and there, and they're getting the vote by saying, hey, if if these pro life uh you know politicians have their way, then uh, women's health is at risk. Women are going to die. And of course nobody wants women to die,

so they're gonna vote. They're going to vote their way. And and the pro life states have to they don't have dark money coming from outside their states. They all they have is themselves, all all the all the all the pro life people had in pro life Ohio, by the way, was their own money. They raised to it ten million bucks of their own money to to fight this thing. It was at least five to one outspend, if not more. Yeah yeah, yeah right, so you know, they

just couldn't compete with the money. And uh and and and the and the lives got propagated. But nevertheless, we've we've we've got to help people understand, uh that what's what they're what the abortion industry is going for is legalized abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy. And that's exactly what they're not communicating. They don't want people to know what they want. They don't

want people because it's very unpopular. Most people from recent gallup Pole showed that most people in the United States want almost all abortions restricted except in the cases of the mother's health and rape. Okay, well, if you add up the you know, the you know, abortions because of a mother's health and abortions because of rape or incests, right, you get less than one percent,

less than one percent of the total abortions in America. And that was a big that was a big selling point for the pro issue one side, the anti live side, was that it doesn't include exceptions for rape or incest, and it's such an infinitesimal percentage. As you mentioned, they're selling all abortion on the anomaly. They're selling abortions for all nine months of pregnancy just

because of these of these anomalous situations. And you know, it's important for people to recognize that the majority of Americans, including Democrats, want most abortions restricted. They want so the majority of Americans want ninety nine percent of abortions out later that's the current situation in America. And so's if that's the reality. And you've got a pro life state a year ago which elected a very pro lefe governor in Ohio, you know, shifting and making a constitutional amendment

legalizing abortions for all nine months and prenancy. It doesn't add up unless they were dukes. Yeah, and they were, oh sure. And in the legalies and the way these bills are written and the way they are promoted and paid for sponsored by, as you mentioned, the abortion industry, and it is an abortion industry. It's not about medical care. It's not about reproductive

care. That's how they frame it because they've gotten away from they have stepped away from the word abortion as much as possible, haven't they They have. Yeah, they like to talk about women's repructive healthcare, access to healthcare, you know, equality and healthcare, women's rights, these kinds of things,

when really it's about abortion. You know. I was. I wrote a news Max art of a Newsmax column, and one of my columns, I was dealing with the Texas case of this poor woman whose baby was diagnosed with try so eighteen. You remember this weeks ago, and so they were all up in arms because this woman couldn't get an abortion, and they were saying,

well, her health is going to be at risk. Well, her health wasn't at risk carrying a try so many eighteen babies, a fetal anomaly, by the way, does not put the pregnant mother's health at risk anymore than any other normal pregnancy would. The baby's condition, the baby could could can make it all the way through the pregnancy, and maybe the baby will likely die if in fact he or she did have try some only eighteen, will likely die within the first few weeks or months after birth. But that

doesn't mean that we should kill the baby. That doesn't mean the baby's life is less less valuable or less worth living. We don't know how much time we have with any child. But the fact of the matter is they were The abortion industry was using this poor woman's situation as a means to promote abortion with respect to the life of the mother. But how many children get diagnosed to try some eighteen, and how many mothers actually want to want to end

the life of their babies, you know, that far into pregnancy. So she left the state apparently to get her abortion. We don't know exactly what happened, but I was encouraging her not to because my wife and I had a child that was diagnosed to tries from eighteen twenty years ago, and the diagnosis, of course, well I don't know if the diagnosis was false,

or whether God healed him or or what. But he's now twenty years old, I'm about to get married, so I mean, we don't know all all that goes on, but the medical community should has never considered an ethical medical community has never considered abortion to be medical care. It's always actually traditionally considered abortion to be quackery because the purpose of medicine is to heal and to maintain the health of the patient. And when a doctor sees a pregnant woman,

he treats two patients, the mother and the baby. That's the way it's always been and abortion. And they're saying, well, you know, like for exemple, this Texas woman down Dallas, well, you know, she needs to have this abortion to protect her future ability to have children. Well, in reality, abortion actually harms her future ability to have children,

and it harms her future health, not just reproductive health. It's been proven the world over with medical journal articles, period you medical journal articles, and that abortion increases a woman's risk of breast cancer by forty four percent. It increases the women's future And here's the thing. Abortion increases a woman's future risk of having pre term deliveries. By fifty two percent. And there's a dose

effect means the more abortions you have, the higher your risk goes. So if she wants to, if she's concerned about having another child and carry another child, the term, she really should not have an abortion. Yeah, I did not know that. That's interesting information that people people also don't get

when they're having this discussion. Reverend Harden, I wanted to ask you something I said at the top, Uh, and got a caller who's on the line waiting, hop and mad hopefully we'll be able to get him on. But I said something about gender dysphoria being a mental illness. It is a documented mental illness, is it not. Psychiatric and psychological journals document gender dysphoria, in other words, thinking that you should be in another body. This

this is a diagnosed, a diagnosable mental illness, Is it not? Yeah, it is. And the politics of it, because it's become such a such a political issue in the psychiatric industry, is you know, very secular and easily easily manipulated. They're looking to change those definitions in their psychiatric uh you know, book of analyzes. So I mean, we'll we'll we'll see what happens. But I think they're going to be changing a lot of things.

And they're saying, like, you know, uh, pedophilia. I think they're going to say, well, you know, I don't know they call it now. They call it something, you know, some kind of fancy name like uh, you know, youth attraction or something like that, uh uh minor attracted adults or something something insane. But that is it's a it's a crime, and it's wrong, and it should always be a crime, and it should and people should be convicted of it and sent to jail.

And I and I, you know, there's this movement two, you know, to to to begin the process of decriminalizing some of these you know, dysphoric types of conditions and behaviors that harm other people. And and and there the first step in the process of decriminalizing these these these people, uh and these actions is by going to the psych psychiatric community and saying, oh, it's it's it's no longer dysphoria, it's no longer a mental uh aberration,

it's no longer a condition that we're going to diagnose. It's perfectly fine.

That's that's the first step in decriminalizing and in normalizing this kind of of of you know, behavior, and then we should be very very concerned about about this because what it's going to do is it's going to unleash further on leash it's always been, it's already been unleased, but further unleash chaos upon our nation by by by destroying people's ability to have healthy relationships, and by allowing for the systemic abuse of children by by these aggressive pedophiles, you know,

in public schools and libraries and places like that. So we're we're in a very difficult spot in America. The hormone uh, the hormone blockers and all of that that the gender affirming surgery is so called, all of that is child abuse, especially if you're talking about a seven, eight, nine, ten year old or or someone who they've delayed puberty, you know, against against what naturally happens, they've delayed puberty, and you've got a twelve

thirteen year old. Kids don't really have any I mean, sure, there are obvious focuses that most children have, but lots of kids may act more effeminate if they're actually boys, or may act more tom boyish, as the expression with girls that happens naturally because the kids are still discovering who they are, and they really don't know who they are until they get into adulthood at

least. Don't doubt, without a jubt oh, without a doubt. Look this, you know, after World War Two, there was a there's something called Nuremberg Trials that were against the Nazi doctors, because Nazi doctors were conscripted by Nazi Germany to engage in essentially human experimentation uh in uh of people in

the concentration class the camps. And what they found was after these trials, they said, look, we need to have a code, a an ethical code to make sure that these crimes against humanity with human experimentation never happen again were the world over, and so they created the Nuremberg Code. Now,

the Nuremberg Code basically has Provision three. Provision three basically says you, you know, you've got to go through animal subjects testing to make sure it's safe and there's no no, no adverse outcomes for human beings and whatever it is. Well, abortion and hormone therapy in particular violate the third provision of the Nurmberg Code. Nobody's talking about that this is a crime against humanity, This is human experimentation that we are we are intentionally attacking not just anybody, not

voluntarily. We're we're attacking miners, miners and and and and engaging in hormone experimentation on them. It is awful, it's learndous, and it's it's criminal. It's political pedophilia, and it is criminal. I agree with you, Reverend James Harden from Compace Care. Thank you so much for your time today. I covered a lot of ground and Adam's really upset, so we're going to take a break for news and try and calm him down. And he's

not upset with you, he's upset with me. Seven hundred WLW. I've been telling you about Ron's rooster on Rapel once again partly because of the media and the current social situation. The police dream is a nightmare. How anybody would I mean, volunteer to do this as a job. I have absolutely no idea, especially in twenty twenty three and all of the things that the police are asked to do and the things that they're not required or permitted to

do in the performance of their job, to talk about that. Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police President and our guest. I love this guy from Frontline Advisors President as well, mister Dan Hills, Dan, how are you this morning? Gary? Jeff, I got a correct I am no longer the President of Eternal Order Police. I've finished out my term ten days ago. I thought you were I thought you were President for life. No, but you

nailed my other title on the president Frontline Advisors. I work with some attorneys and I'm kind of the pr arm. We've got one medium sized department already. We're hoping to get more, and it's for cases like this. I unfortunately we don't represent this agency's officers because you're talking about the Oxford. The Oxford incident where the LASE officer was caught on video punching a suspect on the ground who had already been thrown out of a bar. He was underage,

he was intoxicated, He had been asked to leave. He not politely refused, He refused, and then when he got outside, the police show up because they've been called this guy refuses to leave our establishment. He is intoxicated, he's underage, help us get him out of here and enact the arrest. And then we all saw the video. Of course, we didn't see anything that led up to the suspect, not the victim, the suspect being

punched. You didn't see anything leading up to that. And at first and foremost, as you mentioned, where is this officer's union counselor representatives to speak for him since he's the one being raked over Nicholes. That's the thing I don't see. So even though this is normally part of the service that would be paid for, you know, I can't help myself. I have to

speak out here, especially after the hit piece by Channel twelve. I mean, normally I had good working relationship with the media, including the reporter here, David Winter, but this story is horrible. I mean, he starts out and everybody, why do they always have to start out and say the officer who was this color? And the suspect who was this color? What is absolutely ridiculous. It is ridiculous. When when is society going to get

sick of the media hitting us against each other? What is the point of that? And then come on Oxford, you know, I know you have a liberal college up there, but just this mayor, you got Mayor Snavely, who says his name says it all. Mayor Snavely. Mayor Bill Snavely, when asked about this thoughts on the video, he said, the officer, we deserve to write to you the opportunity defend himself. But but you

know that that's the biggest word in English language. At this point, I'd have to say it was something I have never hoped to see an Oxford. Come on, guys, it's a college town full of bars. It's full of bouncers in bars, and sometimes the bouncers need a little help from the policy. Why does it, Dan, Why does it make a difference if the officer had been black, had been at black skin, and the student had had white skin. I bet this happens a lot on in college towns

like Oxford, Ohio around the country. I bet there are drunken drunken disturbances all the other times that are deal dealt with, you know, eventually dealt with by the police, and especially if the suspect not the victim, the suspect is being violent and violently objecting or resisting arrest. This kind of stuff happens all the time. And if this is a white dude, we won't

be hearing about it. That's what I'm saying, this is a This is a hit piece by Winner trying to trying to get clicks on his story. I hate that I have to click on it just to cover the media. Somebody's got to cover the media. So there you need an alternative media to cover the media. And this thing is there and so so not only does he get that quotes from Snavely, which says, but he's ready determined that

it's terrible and it's racial and all that other stuff. Then he's to go and he's got to show the video to civil rights Tyranny cham Sleen of Marshall, Foreman and Shlean. And of course he says the most city acting I got ever heard. He said, to continuum of force policy, a close fess punch is extremely high just under the use of lethal force. Are you looking at dude? Come on, we use close to this strikes routinely. It's pain compliance and it's not deadly forced or close to deadly force. You

know where where did where did he dig this guy up? So if he's going to dig up Sam Schlim of Marshall, Foreman and Schlean, why why doesn't he called Dan Hills the frontline of advisors to say, wait a second, the close fist punch, the closest strike, let's use the terminology that we have to use is very appropriate in pain compliance. This guy has been fighting, he's a football player, he's a good sized fella. He's intoxicated.

These underage intoxicated from what the reports are saying. And and at some point we got to get him cuffed or or really could get bad. So using to close this strike, uh, in a case like that is something that's trained in the police departments all across the country. But look, David Winner of Channel twelve wants to start a racial stir so he can report on it. And and and that's I hate to see that in our media.

I don't think any other the the other channels that they said the same thing about the race of the police officer and the race of those us back. You know, they always set it up that way. But Channel twelve is the one that that won the step further here bye bye by going out and finding San Schlean of Marshall, Horman and Schlean and getting his his ridiculous take on this. What is a very routine thing that happened, Yeah, it

was. It was very one I saw the college kids I saw I saw the report, and I agree with it was very one sided and it was racially slanted on purpose. I believe as you as you stated here, Why was there little said about the suspects culpability in this and what the suspects? You didn't never talk about the suspects culpability? Do we we want to make

him into an innocent something to somebody or another? Now I can. I can give whatever council they have as a hint, maybe you want to go check the records in Cuyahoga County and see see if there's anybody under the same name of this this suspect and see if he has any arrest or indictments or whatever. It's all part of all part of what I would like to see

happen more. And that's why you know, doing what I'm doing with frontline advisors and doing it with these attorneys who aren't afraid to stand up for cops, even when the meeting and especially especially now, this is the time when you need front line advisors because when everybody is piling on and everybody's getting scared, and everybody's hiding in their basement because they made it into something racial, something that more most likely, I'll give it a ninety nine point nine percent

chance, has nothing to do with race. Nothing. It has. It has a lot to do. It has a lot to do with the intake the intoxication of a miner in a even though a college student is a football player, whatever, but he's still under a minor, a really big miner.

Uh. The intoxication of said minor in a public place and him not being welcomed there by the establishment itself, and then you know, the whole disturbing the peace and and all the other crimes that this guy was committing before the police there that this is not talked about as germane to the topic ever since we and nobody, nobody, and you remember this in twenty twenty, nobody talked about the fact that George Floyd was a career criminal and drug abuser

who had been picked up, detained, and arrested by the police numerous times. Nobody talked about and it was it was buried on purpose, It was buried on purpose, It was buried on purpose, that he had four times the amount of fentanyl that could cause a lethal DEAs. And my suggestion is George Floyd was about to die, whether Derek Chauvin was on his neck or not, because he had enough fentanyl in his system to cease his ability to

breathe. Dad, But that was never In fact, that was hidden from the public while the riots are going on and the BLM marches are going on through the streets and people are setting fire to buildings in police stations and taking over courthouses, that the George Floyd's culpability in his own death was never mentioned once. It was all about race. Yeah, no, not at all. And you know, the whole situation was was created by Floyd. As you said. Now, I came out and I didn't like what the techniques

that they used, even if it was trained. There was a there was a time far before that that I would have liked to see Chauven, uh, you know, do something different than continue to stay in that position. And I said that did that cause Floyd's death? I'm going to probably lean with you and probably not. I think the corner said so, and they ignored his report. Of course, they weren't interested in that. No, So so again it's it's the police and you started your you started your segment

with it in twenty twenty three. How do people do this job so knowing that a routine thing like this could all sudden be turned into some big racial event. And then you know the absolutely nimpiness of our elected officials. And in this case, the Oxford mayor who I don't even know why, wasted his time on the sentence that we want to do this fairly, because then the butt means everything. The butt means you know, well, this is

this is something I hope to never see in Oxford? Are you kidding me again that that's the one that makes my my my, my octaves go way up. Well, Holton, never see this in Oxford. The whole place is full of bars, it's full of young people. Yeah, I bet you. There is a fight almost nightly when when the kids are in town. Yeah, and you probably probably you probably get worse than a punch in the face. And some of these fights too. Uh. And you agree,

Dan Hills is a lifetime in law enforcement. As former member and president of the FOP and now with the Frontline Advisors, you you obviously say that the use of force should be reviewed and investigated. I mean, anytime a police officer has to use force, whether it's deadly, force or force in general. That yeah, that calls for an investigation, but it's got to be a balanced investigation. It's got to be done objectively, right objectively,

and we have to hear. We have to hear the perceptions of the officer and time, you know, the other people that were trying to control where they worn't out. It was one of these things we wanted getting cuffs sooner rather or later. What was his target? It looks like he hit the back of his head, but I don't know. He might have hit the top of his back or that's what might have been what he's targeting. I

don't know. Nobody knows because nobody's gone about this objectively. All we've done is seeing a video and said the race of the officer was X, and the race of the suspect is X. Soo bang it must be it must be racial. And then, like you know, I don't know who to be more bothered by the reporter in this case, the mayor or what's his name again? Slean of something something and shleaning you know, these guys that make a living just going out there and pitying uh races against one another.

That's just Sam Sleen of Marshall, Foreman and Shlean. He makes he makes a living of trying to make people feel as though they are oppressed. Look to say, have nothing to do with that young man's race, that had to do with his behavior. Let's let's let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do a callback, just real quickly, Dan, since we're on the topic. Was Samuel Debos culpable in his own death when he was shot

by that officer? Yes, very much. He was stoned. He was driving, he was you know, he was asked to get out of the car. He had a suspended license, he had out of out of date plates on the automobile. He should have been out of the car. They could have taken care of things downtown. But instead Samuel de BOE's in his inebriated or intoxicated state, whatever it was that he was on, he decided he was just going to drive away from the officer and try and drag the

officer, and he wounded up. He wound up dead. Now the family got a nice payoff, But really, Samuel to Bose was was culpable in his own death in another case, and you give it all the way back to two thousand and one. And it's the same thing with Timothy Thomas, yep, who ran from the police, repeatedly ran from the police. He created the situation. And in that case the officer was accused of accidentally discharging a fire and back in two thousand and one the Timothy Thomas cave Sam the

both he was charged as though he had purposely done it. And quite frankly, Gary jeffs, I think that's the case where he accidentally fired. But what created that accident was yes, yeah, it was. That's right. And so you know, let's we start we started seeking the truth in this country and not just going and hitting emotions and doing it for clicks for your for your media or whatever, or doing it doing it to see who you can sue next, like Sam Schlein of Marshall Foreman and Slean and and and

and again. Our elected officials they have to start stepping up and doing what is right. And in this case here today, look, we'll go investigate it. Other than that, leave my town alone, because this is a routine thing that happens quite often in Oxford. The police have to come and help out bar staff after fights. We'll take a look and we'll decide whether or not. The police officer was proper and as usual, force or not, You're not going to force me in the same stupid stuff because you're the

media and you want to drag Race into every flipping thing. I mean, his answer, that's what a real that's what a real leader, that's what a real mayor is. The mayor of Oxford should have said, you know what, there's a current investigation into this. I'll get back with you after we concluded. And that would have been fun. That's but all the heaven, all the hem and and han and the you know, hand ringing over it and the butts, it's not time for that yet. Let's let's get

the snavely. But at this point we would say it was something that I had hoped never to see. President President of Frontline Advisors, Dan Hills, thank you very much, Danny. We'll talk to you soon. And with that we move on to the eleven o'clock hour News just ahead and much more on the Scott Slane Show. I'm Gary Jeff Walker and for Sloaney. Meanwhile, sleeping a top of twenty mattresses is a young woman. I'm a princess and I'm in pain. What's wrong? Someone put a p under all these

mattresses and it's killing my back. You can feel the p of course, I'm a princess, stupid. Sorry, really, I just want to listen to Eddie and Rocky. Eddie and Rocky. Sure they're funny, but you're a princess. Eddie and Rocky are the kings of my afternoons. Eddie and Rocky give your day a fairy tale ending. Eddie and rock This afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW, iHeartRadio show with Gerry Jeff hosting. On seven

hundred WLW. Complaints should be launched about Gary Jeff Walker, not Scott Sloane, because the views expressed on this show, especially by the hosts me, are not necessarily the views or the thoughts of the staff, management or anyone else associated with Scott Sloane Show. But my producer Liam agrees with everything I say, so you can direct your ire at him as well. In this segment, we're going to talk to an old friend who has his finger on

the pulse of everything. It the Internet of Things world is dangerous and it's ready to kill you at any moment. And here's a guy who just to just to kind of solidify your fears about that as Dave Hatter, how are you from in trust it? Dave Hatter? How are you doing? Have you got your aluminum foil hat on yet? I took it off so that it wouldn't block the signal for our call today, Gary, Jeff, I'm excellent. I hope trust it was a merry Christmas, and I hope you're

looking forward to a happy new year. It was, it was, and yeah, I am hopefully you and all your listeners are as well. All right, so looking to the new year. In Ohio, of course, and we've been talking about it on the news this morning, the new law goes into effect that's supposed to protect kids under sixteen online from certain social media opportunities and have parental consent and parental blocking of their devices if they're if they're

under age. With this new law going into effect in Ohio, the Pew Research Center finds that ninety three percent of kids aged thirteen to seventeen are using YouTube, sixty three percent are on TikTok. Teens are online almost constantly. Dave, tell me about this story and tell me if this new Ohio law is going to have any effect at all of keeping teens safe from what looks

like an all consuming monster. Well, Garry, Jeff, I guess I would start by asking you the question since we've had the Children's Online Privacy Protection Acts for a long time and it says that children under thirteen can't use these online services without pernal consent, and you just gave those statistics from Pew basically saying most teams are online all the time, whether it's YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, or something else. I mean, you tell me,

what do you think this is going to do? Now, I will say, you know, versus a national law, you know, this is an Ohio law. You know, if the Ohio Attorney General, if people complain right file complaints and then they aggressively perceive this, maybe it could put it down in it. But you know, one of the things that changes in my mind versus Kappa is it sets the age to sixteen. So, according to what I'm reading here, beginning of January fifteenth, operators must attained per

concern from four establishing accounts for children under the age of sixteen. They must also prevent parents with a list of censoring or content moderation features. You know, So first off, you know, the sensoring and content moderation features. And I just want to throw this out there. You though it's not one hundred percent on, topics are available to parents in a lot of ways already. Whether it's your your cell carrier, Verizon, T Mobile, whomever,

they generally will have some kind of pernal controls. You can turn on your internet service provider, assuming it you're not going through Verizon or some cell or carrier for that team, spectrum charger or whoever, typically has some sort of parental controls. So and you know, there are all the way down to software applications out there like Netmanning that you can install on devices to have you

know, almost total control over what your kids can do. So for parents who are concerned about this, and I think they should be, don't don't maysus understand what I'm saying. Parents should be concerned. As a parent, You know, I've been concerned about this stuff for a long time and I only have one teenager still, But there are options out there to try to lock this down even without this new law in Ohio. You know, I think social media is definitely not doing children any good. The longer you can

keep them off of it and away from it the better. And along the same line here, Jeff, here's a similar related story from December first of this year. Facebook whistleblower want to help kids keep them off social media. So, you know, there's plenty of people who've left these social media companies and seeing the harm that they've been doing. There's all kinds of lawsuits out

there, but the problem is to some extent just one of scale. Right, you have billions of users on these platforms, and you know, do you think that barring aggressive enforcement of these laws, since there is no national law other than Kappa, which really hasn't done much, it's going to keep kids off of this. But you know, my guest is no. You know, kids often figure out how to get around this stuff, and it's

pretty easy to claim you're any age you want. I mean, that's another ongoing problem with all this stuff is you have access to adults out there who are pretending to be children and so forth. So well, you know, today, in today's world day, you can claim that you're anything that you're not just because you feel like you are. Anyway, continue, I think it's a step in the right direction. Gary, Jeff, I think more

states need to be moving in this direction, you know. And if you look at all the things that this law purports to view again, especially if the Ohio AG is going to aggressively pursue legal action, you know, it could probably make it again. It's certainly a step in the right direction. I think, though the scale of something like this to enforce is quite difficult.

And you know, if you think about it from the perspective of the social media site, let's just say they have a vested interest in getting you to use their fight as often as possible, to get you to use their fight exclusively, no matter how old you are, no matter how old you are. Okay, I got a couple of minutes, A couple of minutes, A couple of minutes, Dave Hatter, and just if you can do

this in two minutes. A marketing team within Cox Media Group claims it has the capability to listen to ambient conversations of consumers through embedded microphones and smartphones, smart TVs other devices, to gather data and use it to target ads. This is something you and I have talked about. If you've got something in your hand that has a microphone and there are speakers involved. Then somebody is always listening apparently, and they're bragging about it. Yeah, I think this

is an interesting story. This just hit the news recently. That particular article you're referring to came out December fourteenth, and I would encourage people to go steep in themselves. For anyone listening. I'll reshare this on Twitter. I'll make this easy for you. Just go to add Dave Hatter on Twitter x whatever you want to call it, and I'll reshare it so it'll be easy for people to find. You know, for years and years and years,

we've heard that these companies aren't listening to you. But I want to point out that if you're using a product like Theory or Alexa, it by default must listen to you in order to do what you want it to do. Right, It has to be waiting for you to say, hey, Siri, you knows how many of as we get activated, so you know, the capability is certainly there. Now, these companies like Facebook and so forth

have always claimed they're not using that. Now you have someone admitting that this is a capability that they offer to their customers, and you know this is you know, one of the crazy things is we get more and more and more of this technology have been in our lives, whether it's your car, your phone, your thermostat, your doorbell, to your point, if it has a camera and or a microphone, it could be listening to you and

maybe listening to you in order to provide whatever service you bought it for. One of the things that's great about newer phones is barring some sort of malware or something. You know, it has an indicator that lights up to tell you when the microphone is hot or the camera is hot. So I would encourage peeople to keep in mind that, you know, if you see the camera light light up or the microphone light light up, maybe there's some sort

of activity taking place there and you need to be cognizant that. But it also goes to show you that, you know, do they want to listen to you? Well, of course they do, because there's valuable information in the things you're talking about where they could be selling you stuff. Spooky on

the least, Yeah, I agree, it's just spooky.

Great to be on your show. Always good to talk to you. Thanks for having me. It's great to have you here. Great to have you here. So as we look to the new year, there's a new law in Illinois, there are new gun laws in some states. Kind of update us and tell us what's going on. The Supreme Court just decided not to hear the Illinois band on AR fifteen's AK forty seven and the like.

Tell me what you know about that? First off, Well, this is yeah, this is interesting stuff because we're starting to have some successes and I think a lot of judges are are starting to get kind of fed up with the nonsense that's coming from the states in trying to violate, you know, our Second Amendment rights. It's happening all over the place. Illinois is happening in New York. New York just had a just got we just got a

great defeat against the State of New York. California, same thing, I give you a little bit just as far as the New York one, and it's similar in all these states. These things are happening the On December eighth, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a federal injunction against three significant portions of the New York's c ci A New York c c c i A, the Concealed Carry Improvement Act, and it's it's very restrictive.

But what happened here in New York is they got defeated. Basically, three components of that got defeated. The requirement of applicants to disclose social media accounts for review prior to getting a concealed carry license got shot down. The restrictions on carrying a firearm on private property that's accessible to the public that got shot down, and the restriction on carrying in houses of worship got shot down.

And now with Illinois and see, they all go after this so called assault weapons, and they always want the assault weapon ban because it's the scary thing they can put out in the media. They can say assault weapon, and people who don't know any better get scared. Sally soccer mom, She runs to the voting booth. She does everything she can to vote for the politician that promises her safety against these scary assault weapons. They love that term.

It means nothing, but they've created it so they can scare people into supporting this type of legislation. But when the courts end up seeing it, like in Illinois and other states, the judges say, look, this really is based on nothing, and it's nonsense. It's all a lot of propaganda and rhetoric. And these so called assault weapons are really averaged every day rifles that

are in common use. And another thing that came out of New York that affects these is the Bruin case, which recently said gun laws must meet historical tradition. And now we're finding that none of these gun laws meet historical tradition. Because back in the day when our country was founded, there were no so called assault weapons me. There were no magazine restrictions, there was even there was no registrations, there was no licenses, there was none of this

stuff. So I think a lot of these gun laws are going to start getting shot down, but the states will appeal them for as long as they can, so we'd be fighting these things forever and they'll be just dragging their way through. Why did the US Supreme Court decide not to hear the Illinois case. I'm not exactly sure why they but it probably because it didn't meet Bruin the historical tradition. That's what That's happening a lot. So that Bruin

decision is affecting court cases all across the country. It's pretty cool when you think about it, because we didn't have this before. But just Justice Clarence Thomas said, and he created this precedence in that Bruined decision, in his statement that gun laws must meet historical tradition. And now we're finding that courts have to abide by that. It's crazy, it's good. It is good. Is there anything else taking shape or going into effect January first, that

you guys think is reprehensible when it comes to the Second Amendment. Well, we're watching California. There's some stuff going on in California with what they're calling sensitive sensitive places. Now I gotta keep bringing it back to New York because New York is the epitome of gun control. And what they did in the CCIA, the Concealed Carr Improvement Act is they created a sensitive places where they

could deem anything sensitive. So now California is doing the same thing. But that's in the court system right now and it's being it just got it just got shot down by a circuit court judge and we're waiting to see on appeal for that. So it's it's basically, you know, keep it's it's gonna be constantly watching and back and forth with these courts and the appellate courts, and eventually some of these things will make their way up to the Supreme Court

and we'll get it defeated once and for all. But keep your eyeing California for that sensitive places. Several states first so called assault weapons, assault weapon legislation, and like I said, in New York, the restriction on carrying on private property that's accessible to the public, Like I said, that got shot down. But they're going to peel that and they're going to keep fighting

it. So it's always a gray area because it leaves the states with the upper hand When these laws are still on the books but yet have been defeated in court and are in the appeals process, it's very, very gray area. So, in other words, to defend your god given supposed to be constitutionally guaranteed rights to own and bear firearms in this country according to the Bill of Rights, there's a constant legal fight for you to have to be to enjoy that god given right. It's a naz Yeah, no, it is,

and it's infuriating. And the one thing we got that we can really count on groups like Gun Owners of America Second Amendment Foundation. You know, there are national gun rights organizations who are out there fighting, and it's important that we give him our money. We give him our money and memberships because if it wasn't for them, these states would run away with our with our our rights. Yeah, real quickly, if people want to know more about

On the other side, something completely different, the Furball News Traffic and weather news radio seven hundred w l JOB at Cincinnati some concerning stats about a respiratory illness affecting children with the eleven

eleven thirty report. I'm Ricky Huchino breaking now a new study out of Sweden showing children with RSV are eleven times more likely to be hospitalized than other illnesses like COVID nineteen in the flu. The CDC urging parents to do what they can to cut down on the virus's spread this winter. According to the CDC, as many as eighty thousand kids under five are hospitalized with RSV every year,

with one hundred to three hundred deaths with those with RSV. Those with RSV, though usually contagious, for about three to eight days, and maybe contagious a day or two before they even start showing symptoms, which is why the CDC says these numbers really drive home the importance of immunizations for children and pregnant mothers. That is ABC's Morgan Norwood, head of Christmas. The Oha Department of Health provided an update on the states three week average for respiratory illnesses,

saying it was on the rise, approaching fifteen thousand cases. Let's check the latest traffic and weather together from the UCUT Traffic Center at uc HELP.

Joining us now in the pre eminent sports radio voices in the history of Cincinnati radio. A man that I am proud to call my friend, and I too, am a

I appreciate the time. And I hear Mike McConnell every Yet going through this boring Christmas story that he has, you know, it's like feeling sorry for him. Subjects not in a basement on Christmas, even though friends, I got a Christmas story.

If you permit me, I would like to share it right now? Oh, if you please do it, and first before you start, and we've got plenty of time here in this half hour, but uh, great, before you share your Christmas story, I would have to say, on behalf of Mike McConnell, that is a that's a Christmas classic. People wait to hear that study. In his mind, it's his classic. Okay, he thinks it's a classic, and he keeps on saying it over and over and

over again. I know it by heart on Christmas. But once that's great. You know he's got a story to share. We won't put my story up to his story and see who's his best? Okay? How is that that sounds good? Are you ready? Yes? I ready? You know I was a kid I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Because a kid growing up in New York City, you know, and I know that every major department store had a Santa Claus. There was Macy's, there was

Gimbals, there was a and S which is Abraham and Strauss. Okay, and it was quite unusual for a Jewish kid like me want me to meet Santa Claus. Yet all my friends were always boasting how this big fat guy with a beard would give away presents and goodies this time of the year, all right, So I begged my mama. I said, MA, would please take me to see Santa Claus at a and s to Abraham and Strauss. We took the subway, but going down there, I'll remember it like

goes yesterday. We passed Pacific Street stop and the next station was Decalbery Avenue. Up the escalator. My heart was pounding a and s was right in walking distance. I saw it. I was in heaven. Okay, I was nervous. What was I gonna say? Well, what I asked for? You know, I didn't even ask my friends what they did when they visited Santa. But it was too late. Why I was online and I was next and the big fight fat guy with the white beard said, okay,

come on, you're an acts. Time to meet Santa. I didn't even think my legs would move, so I approached him in a big chair. Hop on, he said, hop on, have a seat on my lab. Tell me what you're like for Christmas. I couldn't get the coach to talk, but follow the words crept out. I whispered in his ear and I said, Sannah, I'm a little nervous, and this is my first time visiting you. He says, don't be afraid, my boy,

don't be afraid. So I asked him if I could whisper in his ear as to what I had to say, and he said, of course. I said, Santa, I'm just a little bit nervous because I'm Jewish. All right. He came back closer. It came to my year, and he whispered back, you know what he said, Yeah, don't worry at all. Son, So am I And that's my Santa story, my Christmas story. Well, I forget it. It was riveting, very compelling. Thank you, thank you for sharing that with us. So it was updated,

it was funny. I don't think it was okay. I don't think that he's probably the first or the last Jewish store. Sanna Andy, I agree. I don't think that's probably uncommon. But I do find it quite instructive that you wanted to be part of the grift that the other kids because you knew you could get stuff. That was your whole motivations. Most of my friends, you know, I had, I had a bevy of friends that you know on our block where I lived at eightieth Street, and Brooke.

Then they were Jews, there were Christians, there was everybody. You know, we melted it. We didn't care what religion we were. But when it came to Christmas time, I kept on wondering why these kids always wanted to see Santa and what do they get? What was this guy? So I asked my mam, if I could go see Santa, that's awesome. Well I think it was that great. You know, I don't remember except maybe as a little child ever going to the department store to sit on

Santa's lap. We were encouraged to write letters maybe you know, and you write letters all the time. I'm surprised you didn't just drop a line to the north pole to get what you want to. Look at that age, didn't have my typewritt you came out of the womb with a typewriter. No. I put the department stores in Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati probably all at Sinners, didn't they? And I remember the malls even when I moved here years

ago, the malls had Santas during Christmas time. Yeah, I didn't live here, so I lived in places where they had malls and they had Santa's. I'm sure we just it wasn't really a family thing or something I aspired to do. Necessarily. I believed that Santa would bring presents, and my parents didn't discourage that belief, and uh, you know, Santa Claus always would show up on Christmas Morning with goodies for us that we had asked for. That we told our parents that we wanted. So I and even there

was one time We're visiting my grandparents in Iowa and under what where? What do you mean? Where's that? Wait? Is that? What planet is that on? It's it's that's what I grow corn corn coin Land. It's actually the bread basket of America. Without Iowa, you probably wouldn't be living right now. You probably I went to the Reds to the Reds game two years ago in the summer time when they played the Cubs in Iowa, that game in the in the Field of Dreams. Oh yeah no. But so

I remember one time at the grandparents we were there for Christmas. We were little kids. I was probably about I don't know, six five. My younger brothers were like three and one, and we would be there at Grandma and Grandpa's and parents are there and we're just visiting for the Christmas holiday, and all of a sudden there's a knock on the door Christmas Eve and it is snowing outside. It's a huge blanket. It was a mountain of snow

piling up outside on Christmas Eve, just what you want. And it's late. We were allowed to stay up a little bit later. And there's a knock on the door, and lo and behold, it's Santa Claus at the front door. He didn't come down the chimney, obviously, because there was a roaring fire in the chimney. It would have burned as took us. So anyway, we're there with Santa Claus and he's bringing gifts from us. And they'd done this with a neighbor next door who agreed to. Of course,

we had no idea. We thought it was actually the jolly old Elf himself who would stop by grandmon Grandpa's house instead of coming down the chimney and burning his butt. But so there we are, and and he's got his big knapsack, he's got a pack and just handing gifts out of the big red sack. And that was a wonderful, marvelous Christmas as I remember, But there were not a whole lot of them. You know, it's wonderful

when you see these stories on TV. I mean, you really against you because people don't think I have a heart, but I do have a little bit of a heart. And I see the kid's eyes lighte up like silver dollars when they see standing when they get these gifts. I mean, you know. And on the other side of the coin to some ugly stories, when I saw some lady in Norwood had a motorcycle or a bike for a kid for Christmas, and some kids stole it off the front. You know,

they got it. They got the bike. Yes, they saw and somebody said, hey, that's the bike we saw on TV. And then the little seven year old got his motorbike back. Great. Great, And I tell you so funny about that story. First of all, how could you live with yourself by doing that to someone? Number two, how do you even ride that in the neighborhood knowing that it's not us and someone's going to see it because it was on TV. So I mean, how smart

can you be by doing that? But again, those people have a chance of getting it back someday with carma. I mean, you just people just that way. I don't know if you did be brought up there, If you do something like that in the first place, you just don't care, Andy, You just don't care about anybody else's feelings at all. Yeah, you're probably right. So did you ever have did you ever have? So? Obviously even though your family was Jewish, you were Jewish, you've got

Christmas gifts? No, No, I was, I still am. I understand I'm talking about at the time, and yes, you still are. That's good. So do you remember any memorable Christmas gifts you got as a child? Andy? You know, it's funny, you just I don't really remember. I'm sure there were some great ones, and you know, I was never one of those kids. My brother and I we just never wanted,

Thank goodness. We came from a beautiful home, and you know, we got everything we ever wanted all our lives, and that was great. So there's nothing that really that. We got bikes, you know, we had an electric train set, which is a wonderful big train set. I don't even know where it is now, but you know, we were taking care of his kids. We really were, had a nice home, had a nice little apple tree in the backyard with a basketball goal, and then

on that tree. So we lived in a good neighborhood and we had a lot of good times. Andy Furrman, how was the dentist this morning? Did you get gas? You know? No, I tell you it's funny. All I had to do is get at my check up and it's got a cleaning. That's it. But the lady who did the deal, I mean she had me like on a stretcher, like I was stretched out. Yeah. I was never that flat on a chair. And I didn't like

it because when I got up, honestly, I got dizzy. I was light at it, and I told the then to say, you know, he got nervous. No, no, don't worry. I'm okay. I'm okay, just like I think the blood has to rush back down from being you know, laying on your side. And it wasn't like laying on a lounge chair with your head. It is like, you know, at a forty five degree angle. I was totally flat. I was like horizontal. Why she did that to me, I don't know. I never had that

before the deadist. But you know, everything's good and everything's clean now, it's good. Well, I mean I don't want to smoke a cigar because I got my teeth dirty. Well, it's going to happen eventually, you know, you know you're able to keep keep away from your stogies. Man, I mean that's part of your persona, that's part of your everyday life.

Really yeah, well not every day, but I enjoy it. I do enjoy it when Jose When Jose Rio, When Jose Rio comes into town and the first thing he does is visit you, comes right into your house and said, Andy, you got a cigar for him? And that's what you told me, you said, Jose Rio comes into town. He always shows up at your house and always demands a cigar. You know, it's funny. He came to my house and he walked in and he said, how are you doing? And the neighbors went crazy. They came over.

He took pictures of Jose He's the one that I love. Jose. He was a partner of mine with the Lake Grick Cook. We had a restaurant nowhood from a sports cafe, and Jose was there and all the wages is love them. However, she comes to the house and ask for a citar. Is it by the way you alone? No, No, the wife's in the car, I is aware in your driveway, is it bringer in? No, No, he stayed in my house with the neighbors for a good forty five minutes. The car. Yeah, they're in the car.

I don't understand. But maybe that's the way it is, you know what in the Dominican I don't know. Maybe maybe that's custom. Maybe that's Dominican customers not questioning it us to walk like ten paces behind him when they're out somewhere. Who knows, maybe some I don't know. Let me ask you this, Andy Furman, look into your crystal ball, because I know you have one there, And what do you see for the future of Cincinnati sports

directly as we head into the new year? And what kind of Christmas gift would you like to have seen the Bengals get after that awful, awful performance this past weekend? What what Christmas gift? Well, the gift I want to see is I want to see them beat a team that's in turmoil right now, which is the Kansas City Chiefs, Right That's what I'd like to see, you know. And everybody's giving me all the scenarios. I'm looking

at the New York Times playoff possibilities forget that stuff. It's all about winning. You gotta win. You gotta beat Kansas City. Otherwise you're in deep doo doo. Gotta beat them. But they're a team in turmoil. However, the game is in Kansas City, and I don't like playing a team that is coming off like this turmoil. That when they played Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh had lost three straight games and they come and to play at home in Pittsburgh.

That's not a good sign. And just destroying the Steelers destroyed, the Bengals destroyed. But a quarterback, a quarterback hadn't played in two years, Mason Rudolph. When I heard Mason Rudolph, I said, one of Santa's reindeer, the one with the red noses, playing quarterback for Pittsburgh. Well was he really and truly? And scouts have said that he was the best quarterback in preseason. This guy was outstanding at Oklahoma State. He was unbelieves

he still holds every quarterback record at Oklahoma State. And why he got screwed over and passed over properly because of the money that was spent on their draft pick and maybe on their backup. But we'll see what happens at Trubisky, but I know he's going to start now. And it's funny because I asked my Sunday morning partner on Fox Sports Radio, Bucket Brooks, who played in the NFL for five years, I said, whatever happened to that rule you

don't lose your starting job for injury? Because would Trubisky come back or pick it come back to play for Pittsburgh this week? He's that rules out the window. Mason Rudolph's going to play, and Mason's going to get the start this Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers because what he did last week, and that's the way it should be. Well, what the Bengals needed for Christmas was somebody who can actually call offensive plays. Thanks, how about that? Your

dad? A fourth and inches, fourth and inches to the goal line and there's a pass play called. No one's really really bought that up and kind of digested that. Why that was? I guess that Zach Taylor raised the white flag and said, look, we can't run against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The first time they played in this year, they team rushed was something like thirty five yards, so they wasn't much better. And I don't understand.

I see you go for a pass play with fourth and inches when you know the field is shrunk because you're into that goal line situation and they didn't make it, you know, And what kind of momentum does that turned the game around for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I look at it. They started in the hole and the hole got deeper and deeper. Okay, So we're the home of the Bearcats, and we also host Xavier Musketeer games from time to time when there's not a conflict with UC basketball. For the new year, I

know you love basketball. What do you see these teams? What kind of you're looking I'm looking at an upswing. I'm looking at an upscreen. If you're going to graft the Xavier Musketeers, they are on the upscreen. How they beat Seaton Hall, and not only be they beat about twenty And there is a team that came off a big win prior to the Xavier game. I was shocked, especially after Xavier looked terrible against Saint John's. They couldn't

even inbound the basketball. So they came back bit time against Seaton Hall. And this team is jelling and the jailling at the right time. As far as you see is concerned. You know, I question, they're going to be playing some heavy duty opponents now, the RMB twelve action, and you know there may be lights out for these guys right now. Kansas, Oklahoma. I mean, you've got some big time schools coming to play. It'll make them better in the long run. But right now, I don't see

antaa tournament in the headlights for the UC backheads. For the people that always say wait till next year, It's almost next year. What about our Cincinnati Reds in twenty twenty four? Andy, You know what, between FC Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Reds, those two teams may have the best chance of success in the next year. Really so, so you know, I think this city is a better city when the teams win. I think everybody's upbeat.

Everybody's no seriously, I think the people are It's a funny thing. You took to a psychiatrists probably tell you. I think the people they work better, they get along better, they're not bitter, there's no angst. Well they have something, they have, something uncommon to each other. It's all about right and there's a lot of pride, a lot of community prior our

team. Yeah, and they're wearing If you saw last Sunday, even though the Bengals were in Pittsburgh, walk around town, everybody's wearing Bengals gear, hoodies and sweatshirts and T shirts and ads. I mean, there's a lot of pride there and I think it'll continue now. It will happen again on Monday on New Year's Day. If they beat Kansas City on New Year's Eve, That's what it's all about. Gotta win, just got to win. We know the Chiefs are my team. Actually, so I didn't want to

that and I have not been. I know, want people to hate you anymore than they do, I know exactly. I don't know how it could exacerbate that, that that emotion against me. But I'm trying. I am really seriously trying. I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward to the new year, Andy, just because of all the wonderful conversations you and I will have on ensuing night caps in twenty twenty four. Are you on board for more bad I want to say this, I want to publicly say this. I

do appreciate this. It was a time I thought you'd have a like me, and I remember I remember like It was yesterday. I was doing sports talk at night and I was talking about John Cheney and Bob Huggins may and may he rest in peace, and not Bob Huggins, but John Cheney. And and you called up on the hotline and you said something terrible about John Cheney. I mean it was bad, and I went back at you. And when they were playing Temple obviously, and from that day on, I

just said this, that doesn't like me. And I used to see you in the hallway and I just kind of had that feeling. And now all of a sudden, I hate to say, what kind of buds almost? I mean not, you know, Andy, it doesn't It doesn't help when you're visiting after you had left full time at seven hundred WLW, but you

were visiting. You were on with Willie or something. And I see you in the newsroom in our old studios here in this building of Montgomery, and I see you, and you look at me, and the first thing you say to me, Andy is Gary, Jeff, you don't age well, do you.
