Wonder if Andrew Johnson was drinking alone in eighteen sixty eight when in the US House in Peachkin following his attempted dismissal of the Secretary of State of War Edwin Stanley's alone. Johnson later acquitted by the Senate. If they're all later acquitted by the city, aren't they? It is Saturday, February twenty fourth, twenty fourth, twenty twenty four. I'll get it right. This is the twenty seventh anniversary show of

this program, the Saturday Morning edition on seven hundred WLW. A show that is my baby and people that I feel like are my family who listen and who participate every Saturday morning, and it's great to be with you once again. The celebrations will continue throughout the day in northern Kentucky at the bar where

I sling drinks for Hillbillies and others. Meanwhile, we're here. Nineteen eighty one, in this Day to Jerry and White Plains, New York found Jean Harris guilty of second degree murder in the fatal shooting of Scarsdale diet author doctor Hermann Tannauer. Harris granted clemency in New York in nineteen ninety two in exchange

for a group from Mario Cuomo. Let's see nineteen eighty six. The Supreme Courts struck down six to three in Indianapolis ordinates that would have allowed women injured by someone who had seen or read pornographic material to sue the maker or seller of that material. Really ridiculous. See nineteen ninety three. Canadian Prime Minister Brian mulrooney not the current idiot who walks around in blackface and acts like a

dictator. But no. Brian Malrooney resigned after more than eight years in office. Let's see famous folks celebrating birthdays besides George Thoroughgood and this program. Dominic Cienie is ninety three, singer Joni Summers, actor Jenny actress Jenny O'Hare. I hate that when they do the actor, it's obviously a female, it's

an actress. Former Senator Joseph Lieberman has a birthday today. Alf's dad, Barry Bostwick, the actor Edward James Olmos, Rupert Holmes who likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, Debor Joe Rubb, Helen Shaver, Paul Is on Baseball Hall of Famer Eddie Murray sixty eight today, Sammy Kershaw, what a fantastic guy, country country using genius. It's all we got to say. Beth Broderick, Emelio Rivera singer Michelle Shocked. Billy Zane has a

birthday to day. Jimmy Green. Flow up some pre sip this morning and then it clears out. We're not very warm today after the chance of rain or snow seeps in a high up to thirty six or so. Tomorrow morning mostly cleared the low twenty three, but we rebound nicely on Sunday high up to fifty seven into the sixties for Monday seven hundred w l Jummany Sport.

And here is William Tomlinson Bengals franchise tag T Higgins yesterday and like we expected, the franchise tag figures expected to be around twenty one point eight million in twenty twenty four. And that is all fully guaranteed. Well, I mean, it's they had to do it all, don't you think. Oh, I think that's the right and only pocision, the prudent decision, and because Joe Burrow definitely wants T Higgins around to compete with Jamar Chase for those deep

especially with the cap going up thirty million this year. Exactly. College basketball news today, the Cincinnati Bearcats are on the road in Fort Worth, Texas to play the TCU horn Frogs. U see looks overcome the disappointing loss to Oklahoma State at home Wednesday night. Pregame coverage begins at two thirty, Tip

is at three. Listen to the game right here on seven hundred. Wow, things are really spiraled down for both UC and XU as the season is progressed through their conferences, and I mean everybody's staying home for the postseason at least around here. Yeah, it's not. At least we have the Flyers and Dayton, but that's not really local. Yeah, what are your Wildcats doing? They've stumbled again a little bit. Heartbreaker and baton rouge. There's

voodoo magic down there. I don't know how else to explain it. The seventeenth rank Wildcats are on the road, hosting the thirteenth ranked Alabama Crimson Tide this afternoon. Are they on the rot they host? They're hosting at rep Arena. Kentucky looks to avoid back to back losses. Catch the action at four pm on ESPN fifteen thirty Xaviers off today, but they traveled a seventh rank to Marquette tomorrow. Pregame coverage begins at four point thirty. Tip is

up for five. Catch the action on fifty five KRC. Any more Reds injured in spring training so far, not to my knowledge, not that I've read up on. Matt McLean last week was still dealing with a streamed oblique that bothered him last year. Yeah, that seems that's to be just to bother some in especially when you're swinging a bat all the time and throwing balls

all day. Uh No, questions go ahead. F C Cincinnati hosts the home opener tomorrow, Ver's Toronto FC kickoff after the victorious CONCAF victory down this week. I mean, and they got him just right, back to back to back the first matches of the season, don't they Yeah, on the road in Jamaica earlier this week. Back home tomorrow, I guess. The pregame coverage begins at two. Kickoff is at two thirty on Fox Sports thirteen sixty. Fantastic, Thank you, Liam. We are News Radio seven hundred

WLW. Hey everybody, we are Lady. We started out in Nashville. We never imagined what we were going to be able to achieve. We got here because we worked together and had each other's backs. In America, we have the privilege of being a diverse society made up of people from all kinds of backgrounds, and that's a big part of what makes this country such a great place to live. When we put aside our differences and work together,

there is no challenge too great to overcome. This message is brought to you by the US Air Force. When Cynthia came to Turbotex, she just launched her new side gig, a true crime poty Rupert Holmes celebrating seventy nine on this February twenty fourth with the traditional Penia Colada. I was tired of my lady. We've been together too long, like a one out recording of a favorite song. So why she lay sleeping? I've read the paper in bed,

the personal column today. She would have caught him on the only fans, if you like me, come to get one. By the way, the music professor Jim Lebarbara joins us again this morning at seven thirty five for Rock and Roll Archaeology on the Saturday morning edition. This is the anniversary show. I'm Gary Jeff Walker. It's five forty eight and for the twenty seventh, going into the twenty eighth year. This now, that's that's interesting. One, two, three, four. The show has spanned four decades,

four decades because no one else will get up and do this. I'm convinced the only job security I have is the fact that nobody wants to get up early on a Saturday morning and have this kind of fun, which I have no idea. Why you wouldn't Red Lobster put themselves in one heck of a by offering endless shrimp and making a permanent part of the menu. So last quarter from the last year fiscal year, Red Lobster lost thirteen million dollars all

based on their endless shrimp promotion. It's got to be over right. I blame it on social media, the TikTok generation, because everybody wants to be famous for how many shrimp they can eat at Red l Now. I've been to all you can eat buffets and my capacity was really low. They always make money on me. You figure it's got to balance out somewhere. But I saw some of the videos of people bragging about how much shrimp they ate

it Red Lobster, like seventy four, seventy eight, eighty shrimp. Ron Wilson, Ron Wilson, come here, make sure the Mike's son, Ron Wilson from in the garden here. Yes, Gary, he's on at six o'clock at fifty five krs and has been for most of my tenure, not for all of my tenure, Yes, pretty close. Yeah. I think Denny was doing it for a while the Garden Show, and then you showed up. Yeah, and here I am, and they can't get rid of

me. I'm still here. It's been a wonderful friendship, even though we hardly see each other, especially now that we're in these little is dehumanized boxes. Isn't that interesting? I mean, yeah, we did see each other a little bit more right over down here for two or three hours, and we see each other for about until about ten minutes, right and we talk about other people and we laugh, and then we go our separate I mean,

we run back into the studios and do these shows again. So today is the anniversary I twenty seven, understand, And how long you been doing your show? This particular one is the twenty two years. That's pretty impressive. Twenty two or twenty three something like that. So, yeah, my gosh, I didn't realize it's been a long time. Huh huh. Yeah, where'd you start? You started somewhere else. It was a little station, and uh, it's a little station called fifteen thirty w c ky Ah.

That's not a little station. At the time, they were fifty thousand, and it was mostly to the south, I mean that shoes. Yeah, but yeah, that's where that's where I first got to start. And then after some buyouts there, I stayed in touch with everybody with moh out of Hamilton. Uh huh. Then came back and here I am so just can't get rid of me. Well, it's always a pleasure to see on Saturday mornings. It's fun. And you know what, and I've said this

before, you know what I'm going to say. What. I listened to Gary Jeff Walker as I was growing up as a kid. He's six years older than me. No, but I'm but I've listened to you. I've told you you were one of my favorite on air personalities. Always have been, always will be. I always looked up to you. I did.

years. Okay, babe, we could work something out there. Will you serve them? Though? What do you mean do we serve them? Thought you said slinging beer for drunks.

We also hope to see Dick from Dayton at the party today. One o'clock is group picture time. Also later on this morning, joining us Steve Shilty, the guy who does the environmental Update every

Saturday morning. Around seven o'clock. He'll be live in studio. We used to do the party in studio, but he took away all the room put us in these closets, so there's none of that nonsense. No. See who's on the line here, JB. Good morning, JB, what's up? Hey, Good morning, Happy anniversary. I love you guys, just fabulous. And I want to say my favorite quote.

Janeine Belle Smith, thank one of our Northern Kentucky fans and friends. And that's

Anyway, there's plenty more to come this morning. Hopefully Dave from Harrison'll be chiming in here in a moment, and when Dick rises, I'm sure he'll be checking in with us. Somebody said that Dick went national he was on the Mark Levin Show the other night. I could just get off my phone, you idiot. But apparently Mark was nice

to Dick. Everybody loves Dick. Five point fifty eight at seven Hunter WLW. I'm Tiffany. I have some tips for you on how to quit smoking like I did. First, I did some reading about it. I found a lot of great advice on how to quit smoking and picked out the ways I thought would work best for me. I started by setting a quit date. Then I threw out my ash trays, lighters, and matches. I did other things too, like exercising more, and it worked, but I'd

still get cravings, especially on long car rides. To help me with that, I put a picture of my mother in my car. She died of lung cancer from smoking cigarettes when I was only sixteen. Now I have a sixteen year old daughter. That picture of my mother reminds me that I don't want to miss all the things my daughter is going to do in her life, including turning seventeen.

But you know, I don't even know what we're going to do with the party except get together and hobknob and the likes. So I'm looking forward to it. I'm playing with money this morning. Okay, I'm out spreading

I just want to wash you congratulations

on your anniversary. Well thanks. You know, I started doing this at the nineteenth year because nobody throws an anniversary for nineteen like what's that? And I knew that. I knew that nobody at the station would throw me a party. So I decided to throw myself an anniversary party, or this show an anniversary party. But the further thing is this show is really not about me. It's about all the people who called in every Saturday morning. Yeah,

which is what makes it special. Yeah. If you could relate the belated happy birthday to Crystal two point zero, I absolutely will. She was last Saturday. Well is it last Saturday? Or well, we had we had a we had a party at the bar for her last Saturday. Yesterday

Oh wow, and uh, I'm still I guess we're still waiting on burning net copy of the Unaffordable Careless Act, which I hear the Democrats want to give the legals so now working surance coverage. Well, how about if they just send them all back to where they

came from. Oh that's the better idea. Yeah, that is the better. I think that money would be used to wisely. Let the NGOs and all these charities who are bringing these people in and setting them up with taxpayer money, let them send them back. How about that, SuDS. I'd contribute to that. Yes, I'll be the first in line. Listen. Got to take a break. Thank you so much, baker, Doctor Dennis from Annapolis, Maryland. As we continue, is there a special time you

I know that Iowa traveled to Indiana Thursday and lost, But how's my girl Caitlin doing. She's still piling up the points after she broke the scoring record on that deep

three point shot. Steph Curry as Caitlyn Clark asked, No, there's just during Have you heard the Jay Williams saying she's not great because she hasn't won a championship. No, it's ridiculous. He needs to shut his mouth. He was talking about this during the Kentucky LSU game. Kentucky started blowing the lead, and next thing you know, Jay Williams is talking about Kaitlyn Clark

not being great. Just in fact that Jay Williams on a men's college basketball broadcast is talking about Kaitlyn Clark, that establishes the fact that she is, in fact great. She is transcendent. There are very few athletes that are transcendent in their sports that people who aren't, who are just casually or not interested in all in their sport usually take notice. And she is one of those mini players. Or few players. I mean the others are you know,

Michael Jordan, Lebron James. You can mention anybody in baseball that's in the top echelon that people know outside of Major League Baseball fans and so on, and see, you know, she's messy. She's any number of great transcendent athletes and she's just the latest in line in. Jay Williams is an idiot. Obviously, seven hundred WLW. This is Theatino Mobile. This is

I've seen your collection tractors just one sixteenth and other sized replicas of the farm equipment that we see out there feeding us on a daily basis, the kind we you know, we kind of grew up with those as kids because we had farm roots. We didn't live on a farm, but we had you know, I'm from Iowa, was born in

Iowa, and I have still have relatives who actually farm in Iowa. But I remember as a kid, we had an uncle that built us a you know how kids get girls get dollhouses. We had a barn that he built for our little play tractors and stuff that we had, sure, and that was farmed a lot of carpet, didn't you, oh man, a whole lot of turf. But I mean this was solid construction, all wood barns that he would build for our tractors and our combines and our wagons and everything

that we had as kids. And yeah, so I mean, is this a huge market, a huge collectible market, the farm toy market. It is, and they're there. They range in value to some pretty high numbers. So it's gonna be a really nice show out there that you know, there's there's affordable toys and there's also those extreme collector toys out there that are

worth quite a bit of money. Yeah, seeing some of your collection when are you opening your museum there at the house in it's open all the time, guy, and Georgetown that's got a heck of a collection of those kind of things too. That when they have their house tour and at Christmas time. Why he hasn't all set up in the basement. It's awesome. He has so many things. Well, there are much worse things you could do in the basement. See the movie Silence of the Lambs. Sometimes, Erry,

How how is the weather rock and weather beaver this morning? Well, the beaver he's sitting down there with his snow coat on and a bunch of snowboots waiting on the snow to come. But I think he's gonna be left out in the cold. Just to say, literally, all right, guys, literally look look forward to seeing you a little bit later. Okay, we'll see you then, all right, Love you, love your show.

vehicles at a safe distance. Everyone can help keep our roads safe. Next time you're driving, try to remember to always give trucks extra space when you merge in front of them. Let's all plan to share the road safely. Learn how at www dot sharethroadsafely dot gov with you from Atlantable. In the news today, some Republicans are turning their backs on Donald Trump. They endorsed him out of fear, but then did nothing else, even as Democrats are

suing to remove Mists Trump from the ballot. Guess who went all the way to the Supreme Court to keep President Trump on the ballot, Conservative Republican Larry Kidd. No other congressional candidate in the country came to President Trump's defense, only Larry Kidd. I was really ticked off when Democrats removed President Trump from the ballot in Maine, in Colorado. That's why I was so glad Larry Kidd went to court to stop it. Yeah, it seems like the other

guy's running for Congress. Just say they support Trump. But Larry Kidd went to court to help Trump elect the pro Trump Republican to Congress, the one who personally intervened to protect the Constitution and President Trump. You know, Larry Kidd, the new kid in town. I'm Larry Kidd, and I approved this message, paid for my kid for Congress.

Higgins in the fold for another season. The Bengals will

need that if you're hoping to bounce back next year into the playoffs. All right, Liam Tomlinson, thank you so much. Back after a break. This is the Saturday Morning edition for the twenty seventh year. On seven hundred WLW trist date Ford Buyers the President's Day sale at my Castroco. Come come, kay, jump up and down that you won. That's a twelve year old genius named Stevie won. We go from Little Stevie to Big Stevie. Steve from Ohio on the line for a fifty phone call the news of the

week. Good morning, my friend, Good morning Gary, Jeff Okay, here's your analysis of where we are and the presidential race. The Democrats have multiple choices here. Well. First, they could remove Donald Trump from this earth completely. That's possibility. It was alluded to recently by Tucker Carlson. They could remove him from the ballot in any critical state, which they've started to do. They can destroy him economically so he can't use his own money

to run. They've done that so far. They can rig the election, which should be the easiest since they have practice in doing that. And the Republican National Committee is asleep at the wheel. And then there's wag the dog, which has a rich, rich history. This one hundred and fifty year old term alludes to creating a diversion from a damaging issue, usually through military force, and generally concocted by a politician in the midst of a scandal.

In order to divert attention from that scandal. Look for what's called a diversionary foreign policy accompanied by rally round the flag pseudo patriotism. Joe Biden is currently dealing with the exposure of the Biden crime family, which goes all the way to Ukraine by the way, and creating chaos with his open borders policy. Wag the Dog is the only Democrat choice that does not involve Donald Trump. The most recent Democrat president to successfully employ wag the Dog is Bill Clinton.

Three times during and after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke into the headlines followed by his impeachment, Clinton ordered military strikes, first in Afghanistan and Sudan, then Iraq, and finally Hugoslavia, which doesn't exist anymore. How about making war inevitable? Ooh, there's a flip on this. There have been nine inquiries into Franklin Delano Roosevelt's defeat at Pearl Harbor, after which he asked for a war declaration the next day and got it. None of these inquiries blamed Roosevelt,

only military people down the chain from the commander in chief. And Roosevelt, by the way, was a former assistant secretary of the Navy. When Roosevelt moved the Pacific Fleet from our west coast to Hawaii, a Navy admiral who knew better objected. He was fired in nineteen twenty four. Seventeen years earlier, Army General Billy Mitchell, fresh from a Pacific inspection tour, said Japan already in a shipbuilding frenzy and invading China would eventually attack Pearl Harbor.

When a Congressional committee investigated Pearl Harbor again in nineteen forty six, FDR got off scott free. That inquiry was chaired by demacrat Kentucky US Senator Alvin Barkley, who was rewarded by Harry Truman with the vice presidency two years later. LBJ had a Wag the Dog moment in August of nineteen sixty four, my twenty first birthday, with the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Navy ships cruised the coastal waters of North Vietnam, and in one incident, they actually were fired

upon. A second attack, however, was also claimed by the National Security Agency. We now know it never happened. Within days, Johnson got his Golf of Tonkin Resolution, giving him broad military powers in Southeast Asia, and within a year two complete army divisions were in country. Three months later, LBJ was elected president. Several days ago, retired Navy Admiral James Stavritis was asked on a show by an interviewer about the current Chinese harassment of the Taiwan

Straight Channel islands between China and Taiwan. Stav Ritas thought it might be a good idea to put more ships between China Proper and Taiwan to challenge the Communists, even though they would be third tier, possibly locking horns with first class Chinese naval vessels. The fact is the Kammedis are making more ships in a month than we do in years. This looks strangely like bringing a knife to a gunfight, doesn't it. If we want a war with China, our

adversary is currently producing key parts of our own ships. Are we nuts? The first two Taiwan straight crises were in the nineteen fifties. In the second, China attacked the Taiwanese islands of Kimoi and matsu jfk and Nixon debated what to do about that in the nineteen sixty presidential debates. So this has been going on since the nineteen forties, when the Communists took over mainland China and

drove the Nationalist to Taiwan. So my question is, like the Gulf of Takin incident, is an American president wagging the dog to start a war and win an election. Remember, you can't change horses in the middle of a stream. Or president in the middle of a war. Is he doing the same thing with Ukraine and Russia? And by the way, Gary Jeff, here's one. I take it you're acquainted with intimately, so am I. He who manipulates language controls the culture. That's Sulalenski, the famous communist from

Chicago who was the mentor of Barack Obama. Well, this week, sad to say, at a religious gathering, none other than Donald Trump said, quote, God created two genders. No, he did not create two genders. There are three genders. They're man made. That's masculine, feminine, neuter. They all exist in Western languages. It's a grammatical term. God created two sexes. I can't believe every national conservative commentator use a gender instead of sex. When you do that, you have already lost the war.

Hey, listen, have a happy birthday, Gary Jeff, God bless you. Hey, Steve real quickly, yeah, on your wag the dog theory with Biden in this particular case, Joe needs to be careful because the dog like commander may bite back. Amen, brother, I take care. Steve Simon from at Ohio. As we continue on this senter, look at my friend Ray Scott from Loveland, chiming in. Hey, Ray, how you doing, brother? Good morning, Good morning my brother, Gary Jeff.

Happy anniversary. You know, I always feel like we should get some college credit, you know. Listening to Steve in the morning on Saturdays, it's just brilliant and amazing. But well, he's a great he's a great history professor. There's no question about that. He is tremendous. And I just want to give you a mucho huge congrats on a fantastic career, fantastic show. You're brilliant in many ways. But I'll tell you there's two quick points. If you have time, I want to make sure that i'll be quick,

and it is, well, here's the deal. The question that I pose to people that I've been fortunate enough to work with in business and the people that I know in business, there's two questions that I have, Gary Jeff, and one of them is what business are you in? And you've discovered the secret. You have the correct answer because your approach the show, as you espoused, is about the listeners and the people that listen to your show. That's what it's all about. And I think that's been brilliant.

I think it's paid off dividends continues to and the other question and the secret not only business, but the secret to life. And the question that I pose is who do you work for? Who do you work for? And I and you share that with many many, and I hope that we all do and answer that question is we work for the son of a Jewish carpenter. I would like to say, congratulations, God bless you my brother. I look forward to seeing you today. Oh lovely, I can't wait.

Ray, thank you so much, and thanks for always being there that you know, that's the other thing about this show. And number one, if if this show was about me, and it was you know, the weight of the show was on my shoulders, it wouldn't be any fun for me. And not only would you not be listening more than likely, but I

would never listen to something that was about me. But when it's about all of the people on the show, that's what makes it interesting for me, and that's what gives me motivation to get up every Saturday morning and do this. Hello Steve, Hey, Gay, Jeff, how are you doing. I'm good. What was your comment? Hey? Hey, I want to ask you one time. It's been within the last year I think you kind of made a comment about the January sixth Capitol riots and you I've made more

than one comment about it, Steve, but I know you have. So recently, there was this documentary on YouTube TV called Democracy on Trial and it was about the Congressional committee that did the investigation, and then they put they aired it. I think it became available within the last three weeks. And if you, I don't know if you've seen it, but if you watch it, you you'll come away with a much different point. I'm telling you.

Well, I've also I've also watched January sixth, the real story from the Epoch Times, and I think if you watch that, you might come away with a different view. Well, I'm telling you if you they had video and audio and and the evidence man and also Trump getting on the phone and calling Georgia, Georgia's Secretary of State Raffensburger, who was a Republican, saying, hey, we got five thousand dead people that voted. And Rappensburger comes back and says, we did an on audit, we did a manual

count versus the computer count. We found two two dead people. Trump say there's trashcans full of dead people, and I'm sorry, trashcans full of balance. It okay, there you go. Steve got dumped because he said a bad word, which didn't surprise me at all. January sixth people who are in prison right now are mostly political prisoners who are there and they just supported

the wrong candidate six fifty seven seven.

I'm nine first Morning Meteorologist Camperon Harden on news Radio seven hundred WLW, thirty four degrees right now, our next update at seven thirty. I'm Sandy Collins on news Radio seven hundred WLWA News twenty four hours a day. News Radio seven hundred WLW into another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for

this Saturday, February twenty fourth, twenty twenty, twenty twenty four. I keep on thinking twenty seven, the twenty seventh anniversary of the Saturday Morning edition. That's what we're celebrating this morning, and great to have you along for the ride for however long you've been around. That started in February of nineteen ninety seven, just a month before wlw's seventy fifth anniversary, and of course two years ago we celebrated number one hundred, so that makes this twenty seven,

and it's great to be with you as always. About seven minutes after the hour before we get to Steve Shultey, who's in studio this morning, our former producer, Elliott Rearing the Admiral, is here on the line outside of GABP. What are you doing outside of Great American Ballpark at seven oh six in the morning, Elliott, Well, you know, by the way, I don't know what's going on with the phone system over there at seven hundred WLW. This was a bit that I did months ago. I don't

know what I'm not outside at GAVP. I'm at home. This is nonsense. I had to call into the show, Gary Jeffs because I'm very excited. I'm very excited to need to do that at twelve thirty, I think, is what time I'm coming? Is that correct? It's fine, twelve thirty would be perfectly admissible. We're open at eleven. The group picture will be will be at one pm. Okay, the great Picture will be at

one pm. And you were there last year when you were still producing the show, and can you can you flash back to that moment at Huddles during the anniversary party, and can you recount for people the kind of craziness that was going on, the chaos that was surrounding us all on that particular day. It was a magical moment. It was a magical moment that I'll never forget. I met Dick and Dayton. Now I didn't know Dick and Dayton

coming this year. This is very important information. Well, we're trying to arrange transportation. Okay, if you can get up there. You're at home right now. I think you could make it up to Dayton, where Dick is probably in short order. He's at twenty five seventy nine Wallford Drive, five seventy nine Wallford Drive. That is officially Dayton four or five four four zero, or as Dick says, Dayton forty. Yeah. Well, I'm

going to see if I can that. I don't know if my two thousand and three Chevy and Paul is going to make that drive, but I can certainly give it a good old college drives. Now, the party last year was fantastic. Are you gonna be performing again? Now? See this is the other problem. My friend Chris Gohens, who plays guitar when when I perform out is unavailable. So we're kind of like, we're kind of hoping Dick from Dayton will bring his mandolin again and we will put on an impromptu

performance. Oh wow, okay, so I'm we need that to happen. For sure, somebody has to go pick them up. Yes, I don't know if it's gonna be mean, but if somebody had to go pick them up. How was your career as a degenerate gambler going, Elliott, I'm glad you asked, Gary, Jeff. It's going terribly. I'm down thousands. But here's the here's a good thing, gambling car. I found this about gambling. It's not it's by the way. That was my alarm,

but my alarm just went off. Okay, gambling. Gambling is not about wins and losses. I found It's about the friends you make along the way. And I've made a lot of friends doing it. How about that. I have something I'm gonna send to you, speaking making friends along the way? All right, I can I give you one? Can I give you one gambling pick of the day? Yes? Your producer, I believe your producer is Liam. Is this correct, Liam Tomlinson? Yes, Yeah,

he's a big Kentucky fan. Now I'm gonna I'm gonna be very respectful. Uh. But they're playing Alabama today, Yes, And I'm going to bet responsibly, of course, because you can't gamble if you're not responsible. I'm going to bet every single dollar I have on the Alabama Crimson Tide money line to be Kentucky today. I think that's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful

thing, and it's a wonderful world. Thank you, Elliott. We'll see you at the party time for Steve Shulty or an environmental engine has sea so great? I've seen them blue and I think to myself, what I wonder, what a wonderful world. Ten minutes after seven, Steve, welcome by morning, Welcome back to the studio. I've not been in this building in four years, right, and also you've never been in this studio. How do you like our little closet box? I don't The electronics and the huge

It's a nice cracker box. You know. It looks like Chipotle threw up on a Microsoft Store's awful, absolutely awful. The only

homie touches the little ventriloquist doll of Yeah, Willie. So anyway, we're already up against the break. I'll tell you what. Why don't we just take a quick break and you're going to be around for a while, right, Yeah, Steve Shulty's here and you're here, and that's all we need. Seven hundred WLW. Meanwhile, sleeping a top of twenty mattresses is a young woman. I'm a princess and pain. What's wrong? Someone put a pee under all these mattresses and it's killing my back. You can feel the

p of course, I'm a princess, stupid. Sorry, well really, I just want to listen to Eddie and Rocky. Eddie and Rocky. Sure they're funny, but you're a princess to a man who was a big Green supporter back in the day, and still is there? You go? All right? Elliott? Thanks you all right? Willam? Jeez, I know Steve Shulty. So what do we got this morning? A couple good good

news? All right? You know again? This was from the heartland dot Org from yesterday's twenty twenty third of this month, Yes weekly climb It Update un believe it. The UN says cereal crops set record again in twenty twenty three. So the UN called its Food and Agricultural Organization created with the goal of defeeding hunger, proving nutrition, increasing food security, so on and so forth. Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy global

than any other type of crop crop. With rice, wheat, and maize or corn, which is three quarters of the cereal production. In twenty twenty three, it's been revised upward and it is set to reach a record of two thousand, eight one hundred and thirty six million tons. All right, this represents a one point two percent increase from twenty twenty two levels. It

must be all with extra co two which were also setting a record. There's something called global coarse grained output is pegged an all time high one twenty three million tons. And they also forecast the rice production for this year twenty three to twenty four and now stands at five hundred and twenty five million tons, and it's also forecasted to go up. So these are all record crop amounts. These are all record crops amounts. And why is it we having record

crop amounts despite global warming. It's because modest warming has brought slightly higher rainfall totals, a modestly lower, longer growing season with fewer crop killing late season frosts. In addition, from higher CO two in the atmosphere, which we all know is a scientific fact. Two is a plant fertilizer which makes in the higher CO two plants grow larger, faster and use water more efficiently.

And when they produce, when they take in that CO two and they're producing their their bounty, they're also producing oxygen, that's right, which is what we all need to breed. You all need to breathe. So I mean it's time after time after time that it's being shown. My friend Greg Writestone, by the way, the head of the C two coalition, has a book out now called A Very Convenient Warming Yep, yep, and I recommend that for anybody who who doubts that CO two is a good thing, yep,

check it out. What else you got from the CO two coalition that I just greg from Tuesday February twenty second, A little thing they put out, fun fact, famine is declining a lot because of modest warming. More CO two and you nigen fertilizers manufacturer from our hyder CoRIS, I mean the nitrogen fertilizer that they want to take away and boosting food productions significantly declining in famine. And there's a graph here and whatnot. I'll just read a couple

numbers. In the nineteen sixties, the death from famine was fifty deaths per one hundred thousand per decade. All right, we are now down to one death per one hundred thousand per decade because because and this is during the time of slight global warming whatever the cause, which I believe is eighty percent or higher of nature. But that's yeah. But anyway, I mean that that's what you know, we are told that with global warming, you know,

we're gonna be all dying and whatnot. But the facts again say humankind throughout the eons has flourished during times of warming, and they're just died during times of cooling. There are hundreds of thousands of pages of records, historical records that show that during times of modest warming, life has flourished on Earth. And the other thing is that the people who are espousing all of the green New Deal type cult nonsense actually ultimately if you find out who's behind it.

It's all about money. It's well, it's all about that, and it's all about population reduction. That's right. That's the only way, that's the only way us in order to meet the goals they want us to meet. They even admit we have to go back to the energy usage of the late eighteen hundreds. That means millions of not billions, of people have to die for no longer be around on this earth to meet that goal. And on that bright note, we'll take a break. Seven to nineteen at seven hundred

Here Eva, it's our friend rocke Coslano, ready to get physical on a Saturday morning, Rock, I have a request from Keith and Donna Thornberry who who wanted to know yesterday they were at the bar if you were going to show up today to the anniversary part. They said, we want to meet Rocco. Well, I can make a pit stop, but I can't. I don't drink, so no,

I know. No, We're just we're just asking you to stop a Yeah, to press the flesh, to press the flesh, do a photo op with us, the photos at one pm. Photos at one pm, Roco, if you could make it, then they really really would like to see this behemoth specimen that is Rocco Castellano, the down of the first family of Fitness in the Tri State. Well, I will be there. But it's

not about being physical today. It's about being medical. And let me just tell you this is one of the craziest things that's coming out of the of the research from the from the COVID gene therapy shot. Yes, and it's very it's very uh said, and are depressing it all in the same breath. There's something there's a brand new pathology or a brand new disease that's come out of the of the so called vaccine or the or the geo therapy shot. It's called white cots. And and doctor not so much doctors, but

embombers, people that are are putting embombing fluid into into dead people. They're finding that twenty percent of the dead people that and they're all and they were all vaccinated twelve I mean twenty percent are are developing these white cloths. Yes, and I'm familiar with this story. This is not a new story, Roco. They were reporting this in twenty one, twenty two that these involved Yes, yeah, they were. They were trying to figure out what was

going on. And now now the research has a figure out that it's that it's a directly a related to the UH COVID shots. And and also uh that the media has tried to say that that a mile carditis can be you know, can be uh you know gotten by uh like COVID and uh and that's just not true. It can only be uh gotten by uh the m the m R and a shot. And that if you if if there's anyone out there that is still dumb enough to get these m R and a shot out there, do not, and I'm telling you, do not exercise.

Do not do anything physical directly after you get the shot, because it's it's the two week window that uh that that will cause you to die literally calls you to the second cardiac arrest through myo carditis and the white gulls. Do not exercise if you get if you get a booster or any you know, for at least three weeks. Three weeks, all right, So well I haven't I haven't had the any of the shots, and I haven't exercised in a few years. Probably not. That's you. Yeah, train train with

Rocco dot com. Thank you, Roccocostelano. Time now for the Tom Davis Diaries. I like to refer to these as the crazy stories from around the country and around the world. Once again, our friend and normal contributor, well know, a normal weekly contributor, Tom Davis. Good morning, Gary, Jeff. This week, somebody turn up the heat. My steak is getting cold. But first, it's an update to a story we brought you

a few weeks ago. A New Hampshire man was opening an adult daycare like literally grown ups and diapers, goo goo goga bottle fed the whole twisted thing. Well, turns out he was actually denied the permit to open due to concerns from the community. Top of the list was the type of clients he'd be attracting to the neighborhood. Speaking of horrible businesses, the th H Sanders and Sons Funeral Home is under fire for sending out Valentine's cards to a local

nursing home. The company says they were just trying to be nice, but the nursing Home says it was a sick way to advertise more bad business. This time it's at a London steakhouse where diners noticed but it's cold every time they go in there. That's because the owner is turning off the heat during peak dining hours. Now, before you think to yourself, this is a small business. They're just trying to survive. The steaks are eight hundred and

fifty dollars apiece. And finally, some guy in Brooklyn is turning the dating app world on its head. He's created an entirely new platform where women who are looking for a long term relationship can only find him. That's right, Los Mare has built an entire app where he's the only man available.

Yes, the bar opens at eleven The Big Picture Opportunity with hopefully Dick from Dayton, Lady Lynette and others will be at one pm. And my friend Ray Scott, who checked in earlier sent me the Flintstones Happy Anniversary. Bid. I don't know if you've heard that before, s Dave. Yeah, Steve Schulty's in the studio, and you wanted to

mention real quick before we get to science, Mike. You wanted to mention the annual event that's just about to transpire for the high Burnians and everyone else. Yes, that's right. So the Saint Patrick's Day Parade is Saturday, March sixteenth, Okay, step off is at twelve pm. We usually you like it's a week before Saint Patty's Day. This was away held. It's always held before Saint Patter's Day, but this year it's the day before Stat's.

Step off is at noon, which is the prey begins at the core owner of Central Avenue and Marrion Way right there with the Bengals stadium one side practice on whatever, uh, and then heads east right and then up was it Pete Rose Way next to stadium and then turns right, no left and ends up on Second Street or something like that. All right, So uh, it's full. My son, Chris Shalti, as you know, you know, Chris sure hits us ninth year as chairman of the parade. So

we got a Grand Marshal. We have a Grand Marshal was announced about a week ago. Betsy Ross, Oh, no kidnap, So you know she can talk about another iconic Cincinnati boardcaster forty some years apparently and broadcasting and warn't lots has worn lots of hats over the years. She's got good she's got

a good head for her. Yeah, so that's that's wonderful. So she's the Grand Marshal, and so hopefully the weather's good as it has been lately, because I've been at uh, this isn't you know, it doesn't matter what the weather's been like two weeks before, two weeks after Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Cincinnati, it's usually crappy, damsful. I've been doing this for

well over forty some years. My first wife Connie, you know, it was Connie Casey and her mom was a McCarthy, so needless to say, lots of Irish, lots of Irish, and we've been involved, you know, involved in it since we got married in seventy seven. I've been a marshall of the parade for probably well over forty years. But you never know.

One year it's seventy degrees and sunny, and I still remember one year we were watching through downtown approaching Fountain Square and it was cold and here it was a wall of snow coming right down fifth a fifth Street, so don't tell me right into our face was nice. It's not always nice weatherwise. Time for science Mike and a science minute on a Saturday morning. We've been doing this for a while and we continue to do it now. Definition of

insanity, I guess yes. As a nursing all blinded me with good morning, Michael, how are you at the anniversary? At the anniversary? At the anniversary? Very nice? That's that's one of the best friend and Barney's I've ever heard. Just Acapella Off remembered. Yes, how you doing, I'm doing great man. Just Uh, I'm a little apprehensive about what goes on later today at the bar because last year was so crazy and uh just packed to the gills, as you well know. So you know there's an

element of it. I want it to be fun for everybody, and I want people to have a chance if they listen to the show on a regular basis, to meet some of the people like you who are on it.

And that's the purpose for the group picture time at one pm. But the other side of me is like, geez, that's a lot of work because my wife and I will be my wife and I will be stepping and fetching behind the bar, just trying to take care of everybody like we were last year one o'clock pitcher on what my lips, I'll be there there you go. What do you got for us? Yes, I'm glad Steve's there.

Actually this is I was head as a talk plan that this is a court decision came down in Washington, d c. Just recently against a four uh defendant, the or Michael Mann. The Michael Mann was the person who the scientists so called who constructed the hockey stick model for the for the environment.

Okay, as far as showing the increase in temperature related to the industrial age, yes, So he was awarded a million dollars in punitive damages from the defendants from rand Sindberg and mark Stein and Washington d c. UH for a sixth person jury. And uh what all? What they these two gentle and they disputed and they actually showed in court was that the tree ring analysis that

this Michael Mann used for his hockey stick graph was actually not accurate. It's used to pour environmental love math to determine their temperature relationship with teacher with tree rings. And the second thing that did that man did and they showed this is that he budged the data on the straight line of the stick, that he had totally ignored the uh the medieval warming period after a large cooling period.

So you have a high and low in the in the straight part of the stick, which obviously disputes the fact that temperatures aren't really dependent on the increase in the industrial age that happened throughout the Ethica time is really fad when when the when they throw out science in the courtroom and give so many a million dollars because somebody disputes scientifically that they're finding. Let me let me just follow and reading what the council of John Williams that the man's council. The

closing argument was uh erzi jury toward the pune of damages. So no one will dare engage in climate denihilism, just as Donald Trumps selection denihalism needed to be suppressed. This is really this is really sad science. As you know, science Mike, is all about asking questions and questioning the results of people's studies. Thank you very much.

I found a lot of great advice on how to quit smoking and picked out the ways I thought

would work best for me. I started by setting a quit date. Then I threw out my ash trays, lighters, and matches. I did other things too, like exercising more, and it worked, but I'd still get cravings, especially on long car rides. To help me with that, I put a picture of my mother in my car. She died of lung cancer from smoking cigarettes when I was only sixteen. Now I have a sixteen year

old daughter. That picture of my mother reminds me that I don't want to miss all the things my daughter is going to do in her life, including turning seventeen. You can quit for free help call one eight hundred quit now a message from the US Department of Health and Human Services and CDC. We

Right, that's right, Gary. And I'm sure we won't run out of guests because I've met too many people and I'm sure you have to, Yeah, certainly have so. Anyway, what

This is your first crack, your first bite at the anniversary apple of the Saturday Morning Edition, and I'm glad that you'll be able to join us for at least a little while this afternoon. It'll be fun. I'm looking forward to.

Yeah, I know me too. So FC Cincinnati gets there. The season start with the Conacamp thing and the victory, the two nil victory who they beat in Jamaica. Who is it? Cavalier Cavalier FC, And they'll play them again next week and in between the first game of the first home game of the new season at TQL Stadium tomorrow. Are you going to go? I'll be there looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun.

FC Cincinnati and their preseason friendly scored a bunch of goals. But the team is mostly the same, but there are some notable changes from last year. Brandon Basquez is no longer a part of the team, very out and the yeah. And the interesting thing about you know, Major League Soccer this year is they get a full season of Linel Messi in Miami, so they're

the prohibited favorite to win the MLS Cup. But the core of a team that was the best all throughout the season in Major League Soccer is back for FC Cincinnati, and I know just from talking to people over there, they they liked their chances this season and they should well. Their goalie, you know, continued his outstanding play with you know, all these saves again in the game against against whatever you said it was. I forgot what the dean

was that they've played just in the last year. Cavalier FC of course, maybe it's a it's a mental block because I had a Chevy Cavalier at one time and it was the biggest piece of you know what that I've ever owned. And I'm sure they've improved since, but I don't know if they even still make the cable here. But no, a to Neil victory is a nice way to start the season, and the fans get their supporters Shield banner at tomorrow's match when they face off against Toronto. It's a good times,

no question. Yes, I got a little preview of some spring training baseball, and boy, you can tell it's early in the season. I think ESPN had LA and San Diego on and I looked it's like halfway through the first inning and the Dodgers are leading eight to nothing already, so you know, kind of working out the kinks there in the pitching department. You understand now while pitchers and catchers report first before the position players, right, Yeah, and I go ahead, I watched some of that. Yeah, I

think it ended. It ended I think fourteen to one, if I'm no mistaken, right exactly. Yeah, the Red's dealing with but everybody's dealing with injuries. The thing with Matt McLain is kind of troubling since it's the same injury he suffered and kept him out last season, right with the oblique Yeah,

I agree, and I say this, and it's very unscientific. It feels like whenever we start talking about oblique injuries, it ends up being a bigger deal and longer lasting than we're originally led to believe it's going to be. Now, obviously they have, you know, the benefit of time on their side. We're still more than a month away from opening day. But yeah, I mean, when a player's season ended because of an oblique injury, it ended early for Matt McClain, and it pops up during the first

week of spring training. That's not good. And it's really not good because of Matt McLain's importance to the team. And I think, you know, among everything we're going to be paying attention to, that's going to be something worth watching over the next couple of weeks when he comes back. And then when he comes back, you know, does this become a thing again?

Because you no, again, it was the same type of injury that ended his season prematurely last year, and he was really really good before he got hurt. They need him on the field this season. This is a put up or shut up season for Hunter Green, isn't it? In some respects? Yeah? I mean, look, he's not going anywhere. You know, this is his third big league season. He has a contract extension.

He's going to be here for a while. But I think it's a season where you go, Okay, look, we saw glimses in twenty twenty two of what he could be. You know, he threw an eight inning no hitter. He's got to stay healthy, first and foremost. The problem is when he came back off the injured list last year and the ten or so starts that he made as era was over six. He's got to develop a secondary pitch, got to develop something besides you know, a blazing heater.

If if the Reds are really good this year, it's it's gonna happen because their starting staff realizes its potential. And I feel like with Hunter Green, we've been talking more about potential than what he's actually been able to do. It starts with health. He's got to be healthy. He's got to be healthy. If he is, no one denies the upside, but oh boy,

you know when he came back off the injured list. Last year, remember the Reds, you know, the trade deadline, they didn't add any starting pitching help because their belief was, we're gonna get Hunter Green back, We're gonna get Nicolodola back. Nicolodola never came off the injured list. Hunter Green did, and he wasn't very good. We need to see the opposite this year well. And and we'd also like to see Elied de la Cruz approve he can hit something more than cars in the porting lot as does Yeah.

You know, at the end of the season, he looked lost at the plate. And where it really stood out to me was when he had two strikes on him. I mean it felt like he was on you know, had walked the plank and was standing on the very edge when he had two strikes on him. Pitchers just had him where he wanted, where they wanted, and you know, it felt like no matter what they threw, he was going to swing at it. You could throw it three feet out

of the strike zone and he was going to swing at it. So that's play discipline, right, And it's the knowledge of the strike zone and it's not falling behind because you're swinging up pitches out of the strike zone. You know, another guy that the raw talent is undeniable. We all know what the toolbox is, right. He hits the ball hard, he's got a rocket arms, he's the fastest player in the sport. But yeah, I mean he's he's got to learn how to play baseball. It's got to be

better defensively too. You know, at the end of the season and shortstop there were some balls that just hit the pocket of his glove and he dropped. That's got to be better. But if you're saying, okay, look wage or one way or another, Ellie de la Cruz is not good or he's really good, my money's on the talent and it's him being really good. Oh yeah, I mean it's all a matter of development, I think because all of the as you mentioned, all of the separate tools, skills

are there, they appear to be there. I totally lost my train. I thought, oh here it is. To quote Paul Simon from the Graceland album The Boy in the Bubble, it's a turnaround jump shot. It's everybody jumpstart. Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts, and that hero in this season of college basketball men's or women's has been Caitlyn Clark, agree

or disagree? And has she become the newest transcendent sports star that you know, kind of eclipses her particular genre and women's college basketball, everybody knows the name Caitlyn Clark all of a sudden. It's been pretty amazing, hasn't it. She's the biggest star in college basketball. That's I think undeniable. Even if you don't follow the women's game closely, chances are you know who Caitlyn Clark is. And and it's it's great. I mean it's it's it's great

for women's basketball. I think it's it's just great for college basketball. She's the biggest star in the sport, the all time leading scorer in women's college basketball history. Her her Iowa team, you know, has has a legitimate chance to go as far as it did last year. They got throttled the other night by Indiana. But I'll tell you the fun thing about it is, you know you're seeing women's college basketball is you're seeing it more right.

The NCAA Tournament is being played on over the air television. There are more games on in prime time, and so it's not just Caitlin Clark. But a lot of these players are becoming household names. Angel recon Lsu, Paige Beckers. Who's my favorite player at at You you know, ten years ago, five years ago, if you were to say to a casual sportsman named for me a handful of women's college basketball players, they couldn't name any. Now you can name a bunch, and I think that's really great. I

think it's good. And if you haven't watched Caitlin Clark play, she shoots it like Steph Curry. She shoots it from thirty five feet out. But what I loved the most, and I think we might have talked about this last week in the game she played where she set the all time record or established a new record for most points in the career. She had forty nine points. She also hit thirteen assists. She's a well rounded player offensively, she can do everything. And that's I think what I love most. Crazy

comparisons between her and Pistol Pete Maravich. Of course, she challenging to break his record too, as scoring record. Pistol Pete didn't have the three point shot. His field goal percentage was a little bit less than Caitlin Clark and certainly the one loss record at LSU. No Pistol Pete had the green light to shoot as soon as he entered the building. Really from his coach, his dad, Presmerovitch. It's kind of like Kayln Clark doesn't have quite that

advantage. But man, silky smooth. I was thinking about her watching that three point competition last week at the NBA All Star Game between Steph Curry and Sabrina and thinking, man, if that was Kaylyn Clark, she might have smoked Steath. I really thoughts. Yeah. Yeah, her range is just inside the timeline. I mean, it really is. And you know there are people who will say, well, look those aren't high quality shots. Well they're not for most, but if you can make them, and she

can for high quality shots, oh yeah yeah. Somebody sent me a comparison across it was I guess somebody from Iowa sent me the cross comparison and measuring both pistol Pete and Caitlin's career, and there's an argument to be made that she may be better than pistol Pete Merrivench, and that's saying quite a bit for a guy who played years. So let's see here I just got sent a who's who list. Consecutive years as a host on WLW radio, Bill

Cunningham. Bill Cunningham forty one years active nineteen eighty three to twenty twenty four. But you understand, Bill, not all in the same time slot during that time, correct. Jim Scott, Jim Scott thirty one years. And you worked with Jim and you, you know, very very familiar with Jim Scott. You were a producer for him as you were for me for a very short time. Jim is my guy. Mike McConnell. Now you can't count twenty seven consecutive years, well, I guess you can, thirty seven

total. But he's been back. He's been back for ten years since he went to Chicago. Lance McAllister also twenty seven years, was part of the twenty fourteen Marconi Award winner for News talk. Gary Burbank was here twenty six years. Dale Summers the Truck and Bozo twenty years, his son Steve Summers for sixteen. So me at twenty seven, I'm right in the middle of the pack of as Scott Reinharder Program would say, an aging air staff.

Well, the thing that I value most in our business is longevity, right, Yeah, if you're on for that many years, you don't suck and you haven't pissed a long person off. So I value I value longevity. You know. I haven't been on the air for twenty six years, but

I tell people all the time. You know, the thing that I'm proudest of in my career is I've worked at the same place, knock on Wood for its entirety, you know, since I was twenty And obviously not all of that is on the air, but I value that and you should value that as well. It's awesome, no thank you in the same spot. It's significant and worth celebrating, and I know we will today well, you

know. And the thing is, mo, I had a whole career before I ever set foot in Cincinnati, but this is my favorite career and I've had about three different ones in the forty four years i've been doing radio consistently, and this is far and away my favorite thing Saturday morning, and you're a part of the reason. So thank you, well, thank you, and I look forward to toasting your yes, not just your anniversary, but

hopefully many many more. Jeez, now I got to bring toast Mike Allan, how are you hey, brother, congratulations on Thank you very much, pretty impressive.

I don't know where to begin. Talk about the South Carolina primary today. Also

going to have a Fanny Willis update. There was some cell phone data that came in yesterday that just completely I think demonstrates that she committed perjury many many times. We're going to talk to Matt Dolan, he's running for the United States Senate. Going to talk to Judge Megan Shanahan, she is running for the Ohio Supreme Court. So we got plenty to talk about. There is a crowded feel for that Senate race on the Republican side. Three of them.

Yeah, Frank LeRose and you know, he's pretty suspect. I had him on. It seems like they're ganging up on him. Well yes, but here's here's my point.

Elected office was never supposed to be a profession bike, Oh, tell

I it just I hear you. I'm looking outside that that belt wave. I'm hearing Bernie Marino's probably the front runner. I have not seen any polling public or private. But we'll see, well, we'll find out when they when they go to the ballot box. Yep. And anyone is better than

Sharon Brown, and we'll see who's stuffing it better. My guess is Democrats. Yes, So, Steve Schulti, it's a pleasure to have you in as always, my friend, and uh good to see you back in the

studio. It's been a while.
