218 segmentsOn a Friday morning, Gary Jeff Walker in for Scott Sloan today. People keep on asking me. They've been asking me all this week at the bar, any place I was. Somebody knows that occasionally I do some radio stuff here on 700 WLW. What's wrong with Scott Sloan? What's going on with Scott Sloan? Number one, it's none of my business. And I really don't know. I'm just glad to have a gig today. No, I heard a rumor. And again, this is unverified, that Scott had to go under emergency canckel reduction surgery. You know, cancels can be, well, they can be problematic at best. But cancals can be actually debilitating at times. So hopefully Scott is, whatever's going on, he'll be back soon. We can only pray and hope. So the Reds keep on teasing us, winning a game here or there. You know, sweeping the Cubs and then almost getting swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. They did hang on. That was a siding game last night. Marte's catch to save the home run that would have tied it up. Lidolo's incredible performance before he pulled something. He was spinning the ball through 12 strikeouts, a new career single game record for Lodolo. And the Reds still a game back of the Mets for the third and last wild card spot. So I was thinking about the last time the Reds made the playoffs was 2020. It was the COVID year. And they got swept two games to nothing, I think, by the Atlanta Braves. It's always the Braves, isn't it? 1995 was the last time the Reds won a playoff series. It was the divisional series. They beat the Dodgers, or as my friend Don Figgs says, the Dyers. And then got swept by the Atlanta Braves. And I remember that playoff series very well because I'd only been in Cincinnati about a year. And my little brother came up that fall from Tennessee. He. Huge Braves fan at the time. Living in the Nashville area, you either rooted for the Braves, the Cardinals, or the Reds. And a lot of people rooted for the Atlanta Braves because it was so close. And so he's a Braves fan. I got tickets to the ball game. One of the games here in Cincinnati, when the Reds are playing the Braves in the NL championship series. which, of course, they got swept in. But we're in the ballpark there, surrounded by Reds fans, and then there's my brother, who seems like the lone Atlanta Braves fan in the stand, at least in our area. Now, John had just had an accident where he got nearly all of his front teeth knocked out.
And he'd had a few beers at that point. It was kind of inebriated. And the Reds were losing again to the Braves. My brother decides it's a good idea in the middle of all these Reds fans to start doing a tomahawk chop and doing the, oh, and he's the only one doing it. And I'm going, brother, calm down. You're going to get us killed. I thought it would be a treat to come see the Braves and the Reds play in this playoff game. But he was relentless. So anyway, just the fact that we got out of there alive was a bonus, even though the Reds had lost on their way to being routed by the Braves. So 1995, the last time the Reds won a playoff series. So it's been 30 years. Do they get a chance? And, you know, people have been talking about this first round. If the Reds make the wild card, probably play the Dodgers or the Dyers. And in a two, a best of three series, the Reds have the kind of pitching that could get them through that. And then what? Then what? Anyway, it's all down to the three in Milwaukee this weekend, including tonight. You'll hear it all here on the Home of the Reds, 700 WLW. The last three games of the 2025 regular season, will there be more? That is the question. In other news, things I wanted to talk about, the whole Jimmy Kimmel situation. Which I guess is resolved. He came back on Tuesday night. They lifted the suspension. 6.3 million viewers, which was about six times more viewers than Jimmy Kimmel averaged, or usually has. All thanks to Donald Trump. Well, I mean, if you're going to blame Donald Trump for ABC and Disney. putting him under suspension, then it's to Trump's credit that he had that incredible night on Tuesday. Will it be sustained? Probably not. Jimmy Kimmel, prior to that, I think the most he usually averaged in an evening across this wonderful nation was 1.7 million viewers. So, you know, that's a substantial increase, all thanks to the suspension. And the controversy. Was this a battle for free speech? What I found odd about the whole thing, and it really was about ratings and it was about public sentiment and crude comments by Kimmel, we do have the right to free speech in this country, but there can be consequences for us exercising those rights in the public sphere. I mean, the government, I don't believe the FCC or the government had anything to do with Disney suspending Jimmy Kimmel. But the thing I found odd about it was Jimmy Kimmel making fun of the death of Charlie Kirk. And that's not really what it was, but him calling out a lie that the shooter was MAGA and making some of his ridiculous jokes about Donald Trump mourning Charlie Kirk like a four-year-old mourns a goldfish.
Insensitive, right? But the whole idea behind Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk's mission was freedom of speech and the exercise thereof in a public space. Charlie Kirk paid the ultimate price for that. And as a result, again, this is in the field of unintended consequences. As a result of Charlie Kirk becoming a martyr for free speech and Christianity, it has brought so many more people, millions of people in this country and around the world closer to Jesus Christ. Turning Point USA has had an explosion in request for chapters on college campuses. They went from 900. before the assassination to request in the 50,000 range of young students and college campus workers wanting Turning Point USA on their campus. And it couldn't be a more wonderful thing. But Jimmy Kimmel, exercising his freedom of speech, got... 5 million more viewers than he usually does on any given night on his return on Tuesday. And Charlie Kirk would have been all in favor of Jimmy Kimmel saying whatever he said. He would challenge him. He might debate him, but he would be in favor of Jimmy Kimmel's right to exercise the freedom of speech we all enjoy in this country. And Donald Trump's not trying to take that away from anybody, including his detractors. Speaking of Donald Trump detractors, James Comey, indicted by the Department of Justice this week. That's rich. It's great. I love it. James Comey obviously lied to Congress. It's all there on tape. It's obvious. And the other charge, obstruction of justice. You think about James Comey's mission. In fact, from the top, the FBI's mission, ever since Donald Trump came on the scene, to get him. Whether it was Lisa Strach and, or Peter Strach and Lisa Page, on down the, Andrew McCabe, all of them weaponized for one man.
Find us the man. We'll find you the crime. That old Soviet style kind of bootstrapping. So anyway, it's interesting that now the shoe is on the other foot. And James Comey could, not saying you will, but could go to prison for five years. And how long before John Brennan and James Clapper? These other intelligence gurus who lied before Congress and who obviously had an anti-Trump mission. How long before they get their just desserts? I can't wait. Have an interesting show today. Alariza Jafarzada, who was, yes, say it with me. Alariza Jafarzada. He's a deputy director of something called the NCRI, National Council of Resistance of Iran, working tirelessly through political means and diplomatic means of eradicating the Ayatollah in that dictatorship in that country. We'll be talking about the Ayatollah's response to Donald Trump's speech at the U.N. when we as a country obliterated their capabilities to produce nuclear weapons, set them back a long time. And tomorrow, the snapback of sanctions against Iran is scheduled to begin, and the Ayatollah is defiant. We'll find out more from him. A.J. Rice is coming up in the show, but a little after 10 o'clock. He is... The head of Publius PR, one of the biggest public relations firms in the country, the author of The Woking Dead and the White Privilege album, you may have heard him on before, talking about, you know, masculinity and woke movements. And his latest thing on Rumble with Donald Trump Jr. will be joining us. Matt Koday, who's president and founder of Oil and Gas Workers Association in his response to Donald Trump's speech at the UN talking about fossil fuels and how they are not only the present, but also the future of our energy needs, which are many and cannot be fulfilled, either efficiently, economically, or just... from a point of practicality when it comes to so-called renewables, wind and solar. So we'll talk to Matt Cotey today. Mike Reader from Mike's music and the Village Theater. They've got a big thing going on on Sunday, a benefit. And Mike has some interesting stories about people who have been to his shop looking for vintage guitars, rock stars. at all. And also John Brady, who will be with, he's a forensic psychologist, talking about the similarities between Luigi Mangione and the shooter of Charlie Kirk.
The Utah kid in love with the tranny. Maybe. So anyway, all of that ahead and your phone calls are always welcome. We'll find time to fit them in. 5137497,000. Again, have not got confirmation on the Scott Sloan canckel reduction surgery, if that's what it was. But we wish Scott and his family the best at this uncertain time. That always killed me during COVID. All of the commercials. During these uncertain times. During these troubling times. Have times ever been certain? Have times not always troubled someone somewhere? All right. We'll take a break and come back. Alariza Jeff Fassarda. Well, practice saying his name in the break. 700. WLW. Eleza Jafarzazazaa. Is Deputy Director of the NCRI, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. And tomorrow, it's a snapback of sanctions on the Ayatollah and that regime in Iran. And it could be maybe a final blow to that dictatorship. I know this man hopes so. To talk about that and more, again, Alareza Jafarzada, I've been practicing your name all through the newsbreak. I hope I did okay. You did perfect. Thank you so much for being on your show. I really appreciate that. Yeah, absolutely. So Donald Trump's comments, more or less just recounting the history of the last few months, the first few months of his administration and what was done to Iran's nuclear capability. And then speaking in the UN earlier this week. letting Iran know that in no way, shape, or form are we ever going to let them have nuclear weapons? And the Ayatollah, of course, being the paper tiger that he is, came out and said, we are unbowed. We will continue to develop nuclear weapons and our nuclear program. The United States hasn't stopped anything. even though it did end into 12-day war with Iran, and it did decimate those enrichment facilities in Iran with the American military might. But the Ayatollah still defiant. It sounds like that regime is on its last legs. Is that true, Alareza? That's absolutely the case. You know, the... The regime is really desperate because they feel, especially since 2018, everything has been going south for them. The public, there were several rounds of major uprisings in Iran since 2018 in all 31 provinces of the country, people chanting death to the dictator, death to the oppressor, be the Shah or the supreme leader.
making it very clear that the same way that they got rid of the dictatorship of the monarchy, the Shah, they're now fighting against theocracy, and they want democracy, political purism, not a theocracy. So the only thing that is really left for diatollahs, especially after they lost their clout in the region, the Hezbollah was badly shattered, a lot of those proxies. were either destroyed or weakened in the region. The biggest ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria is gone. So you have a desperate regime that is only, you know, hanging on to their nuclear weapons program as a guarantee for their survival. They feel like, you know, this is a must for them. And even though the program has cost the two trillion dollars and that's the money taken away from the Iranian people and used for a purpose. that not only doesn't serve the Iranian people, but it's to the detriment of the Iranian people. So that's why I think these are all indications that the regime has really no choice. And honestly speaking, either way, they're going to be doomed. If they back down on their nuclear weapons program, they know this is going to speed up the process of disintegration internally and the public outrage. against the regime because they feel that they now have the opportunity, you know, to confront the weekend regime. If they continue with the path that they have now, which is to continue building the bomb, the backlash coming, you know, the snapback of all the sanctions. These are very serious sanctions imposed on the Iranian regime. And this will add, you know, more problems to the already troublesome situation that they're facing. And just a reminder for everyone that it was the arena resistance, the Iranian opposition headed by a woman, Mrs. Mariam Rajavi, that's first. exposed the major nuclear sites of Iran in August of 2002 that triggered the inspections of Iranian sites by the UN nuclear watchdog, known as the IAA. That revelation and ensuing revelations by this movement led to six U.S. Security Council resolutions imposing serious sanctions. on the regime, but all of that was put on hold in 2015 as a result of the nuclear deal. Right. Now, come tomorrow, all of them are going to come back. I mean, Barack Obama did more to bolster Iran's nuclear program and the dictatorship than almost any other American president, in my opinion. And the thing is, when people are listening to this, Alareza, they need to understand or they need to...
Remember, they need to have a history lesson of why America should be on the National Council of a Resistance of Iran. And there are people who have no idea what happened in 1979 when the Iranian regime, the radicals, the Ayatollahs, took over our American embassy, took our American citizens hostage for 444 days and totally. turned this country into a I mean the whole it is today because of the Ayatollahs people forget that Iran that regime declared war on the United States in 1979 and I don't think we ever effectively responded until Donald Trump with the the bombing of those nuclear sites would you agree with that well you Sure. Well, you know, the important thing is that I know that was a long time ago, 1979, but, you know, there was a very genuine revolution, which, by the way, the Mullahs had no role in it. It was a revolution by the public. In Iran, they were fed up with the killings, the massacre, and the Sabaq, which is the secret police of the Shah. Shah was so corrupt, and he declared a single-party rule. You know, there's only one party in the country and that's my party. You either are a member of this party or you go to jail. People didn't like it. And they revolted. But the mullahs came out of nowhere. You know, Khomeini was in Najaf in Iraq. until just a few months before the revolution succeeded. And he stole the leadership of a genuine revolution, which was meant to be for democracy, for human rights, for human relationship with all the countries. And then, you know, and you saw exactly. Here's what I want to ask you, though. So the Ayatollahs, they lose power, and the people regain power. What's to say some other nefarious leader? comes from this void, and it's even worse. It's even worse than the Shah. It's worse than the Ayatollahs. What happens in the aftermath of that? And how are you at the NCR planning to counter that? I mean, you're all Iranian expats, correct? Right. Right. Well, you know, those who are here, but inside Iran, and I think that's a very legitimate question because... The first thing that comes into people's mind is that what's going to happen next. The good thing is that the Iranian people now have the history of the monarchical dictatorship, their experience, the theocracy. And there is a very deep-rooted thirst for democracy, for human rights. And now the leading movement... the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which is the parliament in exile. One of the main components of this is the MECA that is rooted inside Iran. They are the ones who expose the nuclear sites of Iran, and they have a tremendous network in the country. They're the ones who are confronting revolution guards. They are the ones who act as the engine for these protests inside the country. They have committed to a platform that Mrs. Rajavai announced.
In 2006, that's, you know, almost 20 years ago, saying that the 10 point platform says, first of all, legitimacy comes only from the ballot box, you know, and then there has to be a separation between religion and state. Equality for men and women, freedom of press, freedom of political parties, freedom of religion. And free market economy, peace in the Middle East and, you know, non-nuclear republic Iran. Now, these are principles that she announced and she has pursued that in the movement in advance, we're not waiting for later. You know, when we talk about freedom of religion, you have people from all different kinds of faith who are treated equally in this movement. You have women in the leadership. of the movement we don't just talk about you know equal rights and all of that so And then she has announced that after the fall of the Ayatollahs, the main responsibility of the provisional government, which she will head, would be to set up for free and fair elections within six months after the fall of the Ayatollahs that would lead to the formation of a national and constituent assembly. And then they are the ones who will determine the future. So in other words, you need to... quickly turned it into a representative government. Otherwise, you know, you will continue that cycle. And because these are the people who have suffered under two dictatorships, And they have emphasized repeatedly on the principle of freedom and submission of religion and state and a republic form of government. That's why the prospect for Iran that would be non-belligerent and would be democratic is very clear. And remember, in all of those countries, when you had a fall of a government and then turned into something worse, The Iran regime was behind it. Look at Iraq, you know, the Shiaan militias are all in, you know, controlled by Iran, in Libya and other places. So when we have the epicenter of war and terror eliminated in Iran, then the doors... Yes. Seemed to have lost Alarissa. Oh, well. Interesting conversation with Alareza Jafarza, a deputy director of the National Council of Resistance to Iran. And we will take a break and come back with more. There is much more, including A.J. Rice just after the news at 10 o'clock. My previous conversation with the guy from the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the thought occurred to me. How lucky we are.
You, me, anybody else that's a citizen of this country. Talking about the dictatorship of the Shah and then the dictatorship of the Ayatollahs and the mullahs. And what comes after the Ayatollahs are overthrown another dictatorship or, you know. something closer to what we have and that is the point what we have is still so precious is still so special in this country I mean the guy I was talking to Alariza he had to leave the country of Iran because of the persecution because of Theocracy because of the brutal nature of the place where he was born, what it had become. And, you know, unless you're Ellen DeGeneres or Rosie O'Donnell, you don't have to move because there's a new president in the White House. They're idiots anyway. But we are so like, even with all the division, all the problems that we have. Government's supposed to shut down in a few days. Not supposed to, but it looks like it may. And the Democrats are pretty much, they're engineering that train because Donald Trump's in office. But even with all of these issues we deal with as Americans on a day-to-day basis. We're not living in a dictatorship, no matter what a Democrat tells you about President Trump. We're not living in a place where you need to fear for your life from the government, even if you're a Jimmy Kimmel fan. We're not living in a country where, I mean, yeah, like I said, plenty of issues. But the government... At least this particular administration is trying to solve the dangers that we face as Americans, from illegal immigration, from crime, from inflation, all those things. The government's not causing it. The government's trying to, in our name, with our help, fix those things. Much different story if you live in Iran. Much different story if you live almost anywhere else on the globe. So food for thought don't eat too much, but I think it's important to note. We really have it pretty damn good in this country. God bless America. A.J. Rice will be with us right after the news, which is now on 700 WLW.
Last thing you want to do. In for Scott Sloan, rumored to have canckel reduction surgery or did. And so there's some recovery time with that. So I understand. I've never had my cancels reduced. Anyway, we turn the page now on this Friday morning, September 26th, and it's almost as fun as turning a page on one of this guy's books. The Woking Dead or the White Privilege album, the leader, the man in charge of one of the biggest public relations firms in America and a frequent guest here, there, and everywhere, most recently seen, he actually text me this rumble piece that he did with Donald Trump Jr. on. The woke move against masculinity in this country. We'll talk about that. Maybe any other thing that pops up. A.J. Rice joins us now on the Scott Sloan show. Andrew, how you doing? How's it going, sir? Great to be here. Great to have you here. Really? Been too long. It's been too long. Great talking to Scott's audience. He has an amazing audience. Great to be here. Yes, he does. And he's out today because I understand the rumor was he had canckel reduction surgery. So we, and we pray. He's not getting his toe operated on like your quarterback. Oh, geez. What's going on there with that? You bring that up for. What's going on there with that? Well, you know, it's been the pattern with Joe Burrow ever since he's been here. You know, they just can't stay off the injury list. All right, so. Well, look, I'm from Philadelphia, and I'm told by the media we don't have a top 10 quarterback. So at least you have a top 10 quarterback, but apparently my quarterback has been to two Super Bowls in three years. He's not top 10. Yeah, defending Super Bowl champion, and apparently he's not in the top echelon. The great, brilliant ones in the sports media. They're about, they've got the same IQ as the political media. Well, I was going to say, the news media is not much better. I just turned a report this morning that James Comey's been indicted, although there's no evidence. That's right. There's no evidence because James Comey says he's innocent. All the evidence is in seashells. 8647, that's right. Your thoughts on James Comey's indictment now. Is this the beginning of the former FBI director? Sure. I mean, look, and full disclosure, you know, obviously we've got clients in the FBI now, former clients. Dan Bongino is a former client. Cash and I have the same publisher. You know, I know Pam Bondi's brother, Bradley Pam Bondi, Ed Martin's over there running the pardon. office. James Comey is one of these creatures, ladies and gentlemen, that comes out of this, there's like some machine somewhere, I don't know where it is, but it shoots out these pack lawyers that want...
to be the head of the FBI. Yes, most of them are former federal prosecutors. So whether it's Mueller or Fitzgerald, who went after Scooter Libby, or James Comey, Andy McCabe, these guys are all coming out of the same sort of dorky white establishment. machine. And, you know, most people, if you talk to, you know, actual field agents in the FBI, they don't join the FBI to go sit in some cubicle in Washington. They want to get out and be cops. They want to get out and be cops. And before cash, you know, you've got to go all the way back to Louis Free to have an FBI director that wasn't from this same mold. So... You know, I mean, look, James Comey was the ringleader of a lot of shenanigans, not just a general Flynn perjury trap and the rest of it. And I've got to tell you, James Comey's probably not the last person you're going to see happen when you wake up in the morning. And there's a lot of people around the swamp, around the Beltway here that are lawyering up this morning. Well, you know, John Brennan, James Clapper, all of those guys, the case could be made that they lied in front of Congress, which is a crime. The fact that a lot of people aren't brought up on those charges or aren't indicted on those charges is non-consequential because it is a crime, and the evidence with James Comey is obvious if anybody's seen any of the tapes of his testimony. I mean, it's there in black and white and in living color and in high-deaf. James Comey lied in front of Congress. Right. And here's the thing. Make it personal. Because it is personal. Because he is a smug, you know. Oh, he's the worst. He hangs out over there on MSNBC. He thinks he's cute. He thinks he's funny. And apparently his son-in-law, his daughter are the same way. Apparently his son-in-law, who is, I guess, still at the FBI, who was responsible for rounding up people on January 6th. He apparently tendered his resignation from what I read a little bit ago. And the daughter is trying to get her job back. Look, these are people that this audience was paying the salaries of for years. And what exactly, you know... Have they done for you? Did they catch the Boston Marathon bombers? Did they prevent that from happening? Did they prevent the Chattanooga shooting from happening? No. Do they prevent all these trans mafia shootings from happening? Who are they looking at? People that go to NASCAR? People that homeschool their children. Yes. So, you know, they don't see the enemy within right in front of our face. They're too busy looking for the very fine people.
Oh, and that's it, too, because the real criminals are the ones that are in charge of law enforcement in this. The top law enforcement officials are the people who are targeting Donald Trump simply because he's Donald Trump. James Comey led... with Peter Strach and Lisa Page, they were all protoges of James Comey and Andrew McCabe. And these are the same people. The chickens have come home to roost, AJ, and it's just been very interesting. People that came out of the Robert Mueller factory of dorky white people. I mean, that's what happened here. And if you talk to ex-FBI agents like John Legato. who wrote the book, The James Comey Gang. We should probably connect you to him at some point. So he'll tell you Mueller wasn't much better. You know, after 9-11 in particular, they wanted to make sure that all the FBI handbooks were not insensitive to the hijacker's religion, to the hijacker's purpose, to the hijacker's manner of being, okay? To the Quran and to this and to that. That's what they're worried about. So, so look, you know, yeah, the chickens have come home to roost. This is the first domino of what I predict will be many. Yep. You talk about in this rumble piece, which I didn't really get a chair, my phone wouldn't play the rumble piece you sent me with Donald Trump Jr. from back in Father's Day. But you talk about the war on masculinity and how that seemingly is over now, too. The tide has turned there, and it's okay to be a real man again without all of the woke reminders. It is bigger. Tell me how it's bigger. It's bigger than that. And look, it involves some of what was Charlie Kirk's message. Yeah. I mean, the reality is that Marxists that don't operate naked out in the open, you know, like the AOCs and my girlfriend, Jasmine, you know, some of them, they're willing to burrow in like termites, like tapeworms, and do the long march through the institutions. And some of the levers of Western civilization, some of the levers of what not only makes Western civilization special and not all civilizations are created equal, which is why some of them go away. Right. One of the ways to expedite our civilization going away is to attack the nuclear family, to attack... you know, Western civilization to attack the institutions that make, whether it's the Magna Carta, the Declaration, the Constitution, the scientific method, whatever it is.
masculinity is on the table. The natural, well, it's the natural. They have to not only remove the father from the home, but if the father's going to be in the home, we need him to have blue hair and be one of the 73 genders, right? So that is the attack. The natural structure of humanity. It's the natural structure of humanity. There are men and there are women. They both have roles, and the man's role is as a protector. and a provider. The woman's role is as a nurturer, and they are specific to those two sexes. And if you tear that down, you tear down the foundation of all society, A.J. That's right. And it's not just biblical truth. No. It's scientific truth. Yes. It's something to Jesus and Darwin can agree on. And look, I'm not, look, I'm Irish Catholic from Philadelphia, so I'm not running around something all day long. But I've got to tell you. Some of Charlie Kirk's message, and full disclosure, we were his publicist on his last book, was to get Gen Z and the millennials, which I'm a part of, back in touch with the nuclear family, traditional gender roles, and to shake some of this nonsense, not just wokeism, but feminism and all the rest of it, out of our consciousness. And he would succeed in. And he was the nice guy. I mean, he's Mr. Rogers compared to some of us. And they shot him for it. And that's what they do, isn't it? They shoot the best of us. They shoot the best of us. Seemingly. They never shoot the worst of us. Well, you know, and it's funny how Democrats, when it suits their purpose and the left, when it suits their purpose, highlights the differences between men and women like Maisie Orono did. With the testimony, I think, of Kash Patel asking him if women were going to be required to do the pull-ups in the FBI fitness training and qualifications. And he pointed out, if you're going to be running around catching bad guys, you better be able to do a pull-up. And she's citing the physiological differences between women and men. All of a sudden, when it suits her purpose or their purpose, they say, well, no, no, no, you can't expect women to do what you expect men to do because there's a difference. The Broadway star on the Supreme Court. Yes, of course she did. Did she vote for her? Did she vote for her? The woman who couldn't answer Marsha Blackburn's question. What's your definition of a woman? On Monday, women are real. On Tuesday, there's 73 different versions of them. It's nuts. It really is absolutely insane. Look, the Democrats have been telling everyone in this audience who they are for the last nine, ten months. And who are they? Well, they shoot health care executives on the street. They turn planes around, filled with Trenda Aragua. They burn Tesla dealerships. They love the IRS. They love USAID. Right? They're hunting Jews down on Columbia's campus. So, look, if they're going to show you who they are, believe them. Believe them. And believe they're goofy spokespeople, like the AOCs and the Jasmons and the Bernie Sanders. Believe them.
And we'll see what the American people think. I saw a poll this morning. Their approval ratings in the 30s. It's 30%. And there are a few people out there. It is the lowest. It's the lowest since Gallup started doing that particular poll since 2008. Democrat approval. Overall, blanket approval is at 30% with 54% disapproval among the American public at large. So it's never been looking. Some of the old hands of the old, you know, guys like John Fetterman know that, guys like Stephen A. Smith know it. You know, even guys like Rahm Emanuel, you know, raccoon face. I mean, him and James Carver, their hair's on fire because Bill Maher, they know that they look insane. Okay? Protesting ICE, right? Getting arrested. Having their voters come and shoot up an ice facility. And look, make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen, and, you know, I'm putting out a new book next year. Gary might not know that, but, you know, you heard it here first. I am cataloging every single one of these trans shooters. We are dealing with a mass hysterical mental illness here. Oh, that's exactly what it is. That they're not mentally ill. They are. These are mentally ill people. Gary, you know this. If a group of nuns, Irish nuns from Cincinnati, we're running around. Every six months and shooting a place up, we would be able to connect the dots. We would be having a national conversation about Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Michael and how evil they've become. But yet, everything's esoteric. Everything's extrapolated. And no one can apparently, in the mainstream media, connect the dots that are blinking like the Vegas strip in front of their face. Again, you say they tell you who they are, there's a group. in Utah called the armed queers of Salt Lake City. And there was wondering if there was a connection between them and the Charlie Kirk shooter. The armed queers of salt. I didn't know that existed until right now, but that's who they are. AJ, it's a pleasure to talk to you all the time. The books, The Woking Dead, which I have is wonderful. The White Privilege album, which you all, courtesy of you, I have a copy of it. It's great, and I recommend them to anyone and look for Andrew's new book coming out next year. Thank you so much for your time this morning. Fun stuff, and it's nice to hear a voice of sanity in the middle of all this craziness. That's right. I appreciate it. I appreciate it, brother. We love you guys. You love Scott's audience. And go bangles. Well, yeah, we'll see. We'll see how far we go. Geez, after that game in Minnesota, I got to take a break. News next. And then Matt Koday, president and founder of Oil and Gas Workers Association of America on President Trump's speech at the UN regarding energy and clean coal and oil and fossil fuels. all the good stuff that will keep us powered up. Our next guest, Matt Code, as they say has been on the front lines in energy policy and the battle to preserve America's security. He's the president of the Oil and Gas Workers Association. And along with that information,
on how important it is for us to renew our pledge to provide energy for AI and everything else we need through oil and gas, along with that a story that you may or may not have heard before, but we all witnessed as a nation last year during the presidential campaign. in Butler, Pennsylvania. He was there that day. Matt Koday is here now. Matt, welcome to the show. How are you? I'm doing well this morning. Thanks for having me on. So you were in Butler, Pennsylvania, as Donald Trump was speaking, and can you describe that moment the horror and what followed? in just a brief synopsis, and then we'll get to the U.N. speech and what President Trump said there about oil and gas and the energy we need to fuel our future. But just take us back to that day in Butler, if you will. You know, that day was the greatest day of my life until it wasn't. That was the first time I ever got to meet President Trump in person to shake his hand and just thank him for all he's done for American workers and families. And then I was standing about 15 feet away from him to his right whenever the first bullet was fired and whenever all the other subsequent bullets were fired. I was in the VIP section and thank God that he had just turned his head just enough that that bullet missed him. I'm so grateful President Trump is alive and okay, but that day was scary. It's horrifying. I remember that I followed my friend Rico Elmore up into the stands to try to help save Corey Comparatore's life. Now, I didn't work on Corey, but Rico and Dr. Sweetland did, and those two men are heroes. But I was just trying to move people away from Corey's body. They're in the stands. And I remember talking with Helen Comparatore and the kids that day face to face and trying to move them away from the body. And I just remember the horrified looks. on their faces and not being able to speak. And that's something I'll never forget for the rest of my life. No doubt about it. So it had to be with a great deal of satisfaction when the nation spoke and President Trump was elected. And then in the ensuing months, everything this president has accomplished for the country. And for America's oil and gas workers, since you're a president of that association, and what he continues to do. And I don't know how much of the speech you may have seen the president make it the U.N. this week, but it was... It was very telling, and he was actually telling our European counterparts and countries all around the world. You know, windmills and solar panels aren't going to do the trick for the energy we need, whether it's AI or just sustaining our lifestyles. And some of those countries are figuring it out, Matt. Do you think America's figured it out?
President Trump is right again. You know, I say that a lot. President Trump is right. President Trump is right. President Trump is right. And what his speech at the UN said this week is climate change is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the world. And he's absolutely right. You know, when people in the greater Cincinnati area are feeling the effects of that, whenever you look at Duke Energy bills and Duke Energy shift. to renewable energy, to clean energy, this wind and solar that's highly unreliable and highly subsidized. Well, then people are feeling the effects on their utility bills, and it's happening all over the country, and people are waking up to the fact that not once has wind or solar ever lowered their utility bill, but natural gas. USA natural gas is reliable, affordable energy. Yeah, it amazes me that a state like Texas, for example, which has so many resources. of oil and natural gas would tie their electrical grid to these so-called renewables. And you get the blackouts and the brownouts in the state of Texas, a state that's so rich with energy resources that they should never have a want. I mean, you ought to be paying minimal kilowatt hours for electricity in the state of Texas with all the resources that are available in this country. has so many vast resources, natural resources, that are clean. They're not causing the earth. They're not causing the sea levels to rise. They're not causing the earth's oceans to boil. They're not doing any of the things that have been projected by this, the hoaxers, by this scam of climate change due to man-made fossil fuel consumption. It is ridiculous. I have talked. Bad nauseam to guests like Steve Gorham and Greg Wrightstone from the CO2 Coalition. And I have all the actual facts and data, but it's all obscured by this computer modeling that is not based in reality. They're just bad computer models. No, you're absolutely right. And if you remember, Al Gore invented the Internet. So really, that's a joke that most of us who are old enough to remember that, remember. But it's Al Gore who claimed that computer modeling showed that Antarctica was going to be ice-free within seven or eight years or could be. And, of course, we passed that time. But you and I are both old enough to remember the 1980s, the hole in the ozone layer. And I had to quit using aquanette and white rain hair spray. And now look at my bald head. And I blame that on the climate change hoaxers. I never used aquanette or white rain, but I know what you mean, Matt. I didn't know that you were someone who would use those hair products. But anyway. Maybe. You know, what you said was absolutely right. We have abundant natural resources beneath our feet. Whenever you look at Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, that Marcellus Utica Shell that runs right under there, we know that when we produce our natural resources that God has blessed our states and our nation with, not only does it give us reliable, affordable energy, but it also creates severance tax revenue that funds state revenues.
Yes, it does. Yes, it does. So what are you doing at the Oil and Gas Workers Association to help further this? And I know that you're obviously in favor of anything that provides those good-paying jobs. And that's the other thing about this, Matt, is these are really well-paying jobs that don't have to be subsidized by tax dollars because this is a moneymaker. And it's clean. It's not polluting our planet. It is not contributing the amount of CO2 that is added. Right now we're at about 400 parts per billion of CO2 in our atmosphere. At certain points during the Earth's development, in our Earth's history, we've been as high as 2,500 parts per per. of CO2 and the planet always flourishes when it's warmer and CO2 is a necessary molecule, set of molecules for life. So I don't understand this war on CO2 and blaming it for the modeled global warming that we know now is... bogus is a hoax. Any comments on that? No, you're absolutely right. Well, and you were talking about facts and computer modeling. You know, whenever we tell people that America's oil and gas workers reduced emissions from 2005 to 2019 by 12%. A lot of people don't understand that. They also don't understand that China produces over twice the annual carbon emissions of the United States. And they're not even considered a developed country. They're not even considered on the same level as the United States, an industrialized nation. And that's bad modeling. That's bad data, too, because China has a lot more people. So whenever we look at annual emissions and we look at them by country, you know that America's oil and gas workers produce oil and natural gas in the most environmentally conscious manner in the world. And so we don't need to reduce USA oil and gas production. We need to increase it. Oh, China's building coal-fired power plants every week. and selling us wind turbines and solar panels and telling us that we're being irresponsible while they're building, and their coal-fired power plants in China do not have the same technology we do, and they are serious polluters, but they don't care. They're pushing the agenda, so they'll have all the energy, and they can make money off our stupidity in this country, Matt. You're absolutely right. And fortunately, we have a great vice president who happens to be from Ohio who understands this too. And let me tell you what, I'm a huge JD Vance fan. But we have people in this administration who understand data. They understand global emissions. What President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and their administration have done is to approve more LNG exports, which gives us the opportunity to export.
United States natural gas in the form of liquefied natural gas LNG to our friends and allies around the world. We get to export freedom because USA oil and gas gives people freedom from high utility bills. It gives them freedom from unreliable power. You talked earlier about Texas going to renewables as a Texan myself that just infuriates me. We've already seen the failures of the country of Germany. the state of California and Governor Gavin Newsom out there and their whole environmental agenda, which is really weird because what a lot of people don't know is that California imports a lot of its oil from the Chinese-funded Ecuadorian South American Amazon rainforest. So whenever you look at environmental agendas, you understand that those people who are pushing wind, solar, and these renewable fantasies, well, they're really just hypocrites. Well, when you talk about wind, for example, those turbines wear out, and when they wear out, they're not recyclable. They are causing an environmental blight and problem because you can't put them in landfills. They're built by China almost primarily. So you're funding a dictatorship and propping up the Communist Chinese party. And they're not efficient. When the wind doesn't blow, they produce no electricity. It just doesn't make an environmentally for nature, for birds, for ecosystems, they are some of the most destructive. Anti-environmental things you could possibly. A wind farm is awful for the environment. And yet they're done in the name of ecology and environmental preservation. You're right. The hypocrisy is unmatched when it comes to this climate garbage. That we've been close. You're absolutely right. And solar, of course, they're taking massive amounts of land. Yes. And covering prime agricultural land with solar panels. I see it all over the state of Ohio and others where they've become solar farms because for one reason or another, it's the only thing the farmers can make money on. And it costs everybody money because it's all subsidized by government tax dollars. Matt Cote, thank you so much for your time today. It's the president and founder of Oil and Gas Workers Association. And a pleasure to have you, man. Thanks. Honor to be on. Thank you. Enjoy your day. You too. Mike Reader from Mike's music coming up just after the news at 11. Into another hour on this Friday, September 26th, 2025. Gary Jeff in for Scott Sloan. Apparently I'm told by producer Dave Keaton now that it's not canckel reduction surgery that's keeping Scott off the air. And I...
I don't know what it is. It may be something worse, but I can't imagine anything worse than canckel reduction surgery. Seriously. Joining us in this half hour is the owner of Mike's music, vintage guitar shop in Newport. Also, the man behind the village theater in Covington. And they have a, there's no bingles football on Sunday. So there's no excuse. If you love live live local music, particularly, to not be at the village theater at some point this coming Sunday, unless you're out of town like I will be. The doors open at 12, the show at 1, and it's called the Hope Loves Harmony Benefit. Noah Weatherspoon will be there, Nathan, Hickey, Chalki, and more great local bands, a guy who's in one of those bands, Chalki, Mike Reeder, joins us now. How you doing, Mike? Great, Gary. Thanks for having me back on. It's great to hear you again, and we always appreciate all your support. You know, I contacted you yesterday to see if you had some time this morning, not knowing you had this benefit this weekend. How serendipitous? What serendipity do? Yeah. This is great. Yeah, it's great. This charity is a wonderful charity that Mike's Music Productions has been working with. It helps people that are in recovery or have dealt with someone that's been in recovery or, you know, maybe they've lost someone. And it's just a wonderful charity where people get together with songwriters and musicians and they share their stories, they create songs. And it helps them to get that out of their system and to just recover from it all. And then these songs go up on a website and, you know, everyone shares their stories. And it's just a wonderful thing. You know, you mentioned Noah Noah is one of the artists that's involved in that. We're just wonderful, you know, we're happy to be involved with it, and it's going to be a great show. Yeah. You've got your finger on the pulse of live local music like few others do in this city. So, I mean, you know all the players and you know how to get those folks involved. Hope loves Harmony Benefit this Sunday at the Village Theater in Covington. Yeah. Tell me how the Mike's music store is doing. You're still there on Mama Street in Newport, right, Mike? Yeah, yeah. What happened was we moved the store about eight buildings south towards the courthouse because I ended up purchasing a building in Newport, so I'm there forever. I'm calling it the last resting place, Gary. I'm never doing that again. Okay. I hate to move anything. Yeah. I hate to move my iced teacup from one table to another, so I can't imagine moving a whole store of guitars.
Yeah, it's an adventure. But we're there. It's a large retail space. And I'm just now at the stage where I'm going to start, you know, getting the word out and stuff. So if you want to visit the new Northern Kentucky Mike's music, it's 1007 on Mama Street right across from the county building there. Yeah, the county building. Yeah, and I can't wait to start sharing that with people more and more. Now, how long have you been buying and selling vintage guitars, Mike? Well, I've had a store since 91 or 2. I can't remember exactly when I went legal. But somewhere around there. When you went legal, I love that. But, you know, before that, I played in bands with my wife, and we would drive around and get guitar sort of for us. And it becomes sort of an addiction. So, you know, you've got to kind of legitimize it with the wife there. So it becomes a store. You know, that's how it happens. Sure. Well, some people, some people do guitars, some people do cars, some people do sports memorabilia. You settled on guitars, your musicians. That's understandable connection there. We moved up to Clifton in 93, and that's when things really kicked off. And, you know, we were lucky to get a building right next to Bogart's. That's handy. And, yeah, we met everybody. So that really, really, really helped us. And it's been a wonderful journey. And, you know, now we have the production house and the store in the village theater in Covington where we have productions and shows and also have a small amount of retail there. And then we have our main location, which I just told you about on 1007 Mama Street. And then we have the original store, which is up in Cliff, which is actually not the original store, but our main sub that's been there forever. Right. And short line. So if you had a prize, I hate this when people ask me this kind of question. Well, what's your favorite group? What's your favorite song? It's like, no, I don't have one favorite group or song. But they just, they'd expect you to come up with something. So I'm going to do the same thing to you. Do you have a favorite guitar? What has been? Well, you know what? For me, Gary, it's sort of like I go through phases. And right now I'm really in a like a flat top phase, acoustic flat tops. And I love pre-war flat tops. And I've just purchased a whole bunch of cool gifts and pre-war flat tops. There's these things called banners that were done during the war and they have banners. logos and I just bought three of those and those are interesting instruments because during the war gets and used a lot of woods that they never used like sometimes they'll be maple when generally they're mahogany or rosewood
Yeah, so we just got three of those in the Newport store, which are super rare and super cool. And then I just purchased a AAA-0-28, 1944-O-2-O-28 Martin guitar, which I just absolutely love. And if somebody doesn't buy it soon, I'm going to have to keep it. It's just amazing sounding. Darn the luck. But, yeah, that's kind of what happens is I go through phases. You know, I'm lucky to be sort of the buyer for the chain, so I get to enjoy. I like. And hopefully there's no guitars in our stores that I wouldn't be happy keeping. You know, that's the goal, is to love these instruments and get them to their homes where they belong. And that's the latest thing that I've been into is Gibson Flat Tops. But, you know, we mainly deal in, I would say, collectible player user instruments, like four bands and things like that, 50s and 60s, electrics. That's always been our mainstay. Well, and through the years, you know, you're going back to 1991 when you, quote, became legal as a guitar seller, you have encountered... People from all over the industry, from all over the world, really, artists who have come by to see what you have to offer. And maybe they were in town for a show and they wanted to check out what you had in your shops. And you've got some great stories. And maybe you'll recount a couple of those. I love the one. where you were dealing with Peter Frampton and you didn't know you were dealing with Peter Frampton. Can you tell that story? Yeah, well, Peter came in the store. Um, and it was when he was living in Cincinnati when he was, uh, you know, moved here for a while. And he came in the store and he had sort of been out of the scene for quite some time, um, at least out of my vision. So I, I was, you know, not thinking about Peter Plant did it to tie. And he came in the store and at that time we had a Peter Frampton reissue Les Paul Custom, Custom shop Les Paul Custom. And this gentleman who had short hair and sort of looked like Bill Murray, I thought, at the time. Yeah, it looked like he was a golf player or something. Yeah. That kind of a vibe. Came in, he was British, you know, and he was asking me about a bunch of guitars, super nice fella. And, you know, we were chatting about guitars. And, you know, I could just tell that he just knew a lot about, like, you know, old British blues scene. You know, you just get up out of this guy and stuff that most people don't know. He's asking me everything about this guitar, what I thought about it. And, you know, and I have actually real guitarist that that's reissue of. And, you know, I have said things like, yeah, it's super cool and everything, you know, and, you know, if you're interested in, like, you know, a real one or whatever, I got real ones upstairs and, you know, just sort of downplayed it.
And he hung out for like 30 minutes. And, you know, I was like, you know, if you really want that guitar, you know, I'll give you a great deal in that guitar. And he was telling me things about that guitar, like how Gibson had, you know, put the pickups, like certain rings on it that are a different color. And I was like, well, I don't think that's right. I was like corrected him. So I just think Gibson just used the wrong rings. He goes, no, Peter changed those rings. And I was like saying, no, I don't think that's true. So he knew that you didn't know who he was. Oh, absolutely he did. So he's talking about himself in third parole. Oh, Peter, Peter put those on. Oh, that's great. Yeah, and this went off for some time. And then he left and, you know, about probably a week or so later, he appeared on 20th century guitar magazine. And I was like, oh, great, look, I'm an idiot. I just didn't argue about what Peter Frampton's guitar should be with Peter Frampton. But anyway, he came back in a later date, and, you know, it was pretty funny. I said, man, I'm so sorry. I made ass out of myself last time you were in here. And he said, oh, that's okay. I kind of enjoyed it. Well, you know, at any point during that first visit, if he just said something like, Bald Mayo on the keyboards. Balmayo, you might have known instantly. It was Peter Fran. Well, you know, you suspect, you suspect, but you just never know. So there was another artist, famous guy. Singer-songwriter guy, everybody would know. We don't want to use his name because we don't want to make him look bad. But there is a very famous artist that came into your store and got a little intrusive thinking that he could go wherever he wanted in the store because of who he was. You know which one I'm talking about. So give me that real quick. Give me that one real quick. Well, without knowing who it is, I'm not so sure it's so interesting. I had played the night before and I was in my office and my office is on the third floor of the Cincinnati store and there's a gate that locks what we call the expensive room. And then my office is just beyond that. And I was sort of in there like trying to sleep. And all of a sudden I hear somebody. like pounding on a stratocaster like really you know very very hard and i had had these custom color strats behind this class case where nobody could really get to them and this gentleman had went behind there and grabbed them and it was just going town you know um so i got up sort of annoyed because i had actually sucked the key in the gate and um not really locked it, but it was just sort of, you know, obviously nobody was supposed to be in there. And so, you know, I proceeded to go over and say, can it help you, you know, not really open up here right now. And, you know, it just says, well, I just, I love old custom color strats. And he continues to, you know, play like Steve Ray Vaughn. And just hit it pretty hard. So being annoyed, I just kind of stopped him from playing. We just touch the strings and said, I'm sorry, but, you know, right now.
uh we're not open up here well through the course of uh going back and forth for a few minutes yeah he explains that he's playing at riverband i didn't even know where he was blah blah blah and then he sort of stormed out and And, uh, found out, found out later, yeah, which you'd ever know. Maybe, maybe Taylor Swift should have written about that. Um, there, yeah. It's, uh, it's a benefit coming up this Sunday at the village theater in Covington, Sunday at noon. And, uh, it goes until seven o'clock. Hope loves harmony benefit featuring Noah Witherspoon, Nathan Hickey, chalk eye, your band, and much, much more. And, uh, The proceeds benefit, obviously the hope loves harmony charity. Mike Reeder, thanks for taking time. Best of success in the new location there on Mama Street in Newport. And like you said, hopefully you never have to move again. Thank you, Gary. Appreciate it. You bet. You bet. So did the Charlie Kirk assassination work alone? Or was part of a broader conspiracy of left-wing Marxist or transgender groups? What about Luigi Mangione? Up next, we have a forensic psychologist, nationally known, who says probably not in his estimation. They are, as he puts it, ideological tourists. which, of course, has much darker intonations, if you think about what these two individuals did. He's got a book about assassins, and he's done a lot of research and study on assassins. And we will talk to John Brady coming up immediately after news. Gary Jeff in for Sloane. Great to be with you on this Friday. And, of course, a Saturday morning edition returns tomorrow at 5.30, God willing. And there's a nightcap next Tuesday night. on September 30th, unless, of course, the Reds somehow luck up and make the playoffs this weekend and bump me off the air again. I hope not. I mean, I hope so. Mixed emotions for sure. Anyway, John Brady coming up next as we continue on the Scott Sloan show. Gary Jeff in for Sloanie on 700 WLW.
Back into the Sloney show on this Friday, the 26th of September. And the nation's still taking stock and kind of becoming unnumb to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even a couple of weeks down the road. And after the memorial, of course. And the country, I don't know if it's quite recovered from the shock that occurred in New York City a while back with Luigi Mangione shooting in cold blood in the back, Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, who was there for a business trip. We all remember that as well. Our guest... is a well-known, famous forensic psychologist. You got a new book coming out, which we will talk about in just a few minutes. But he is noting in his new book, and here today, the similarities between the two assassins of both Charlie Cook and Brian Thompson. And to talk about that, some more Dr. John Brady with us from California. Dr. Brady, how are you? Hey, I'm fine, Gary. Thanks for the invitation. I hope we can elucidate some of the connections between these two assassins. Well, other than the fact that they are assassins, what are some of the other similarities between Mangione and the kid in Utah, Tyler Robinson? Yeah, I think when you look at these particular kinds of assassination crimes, and I've looked at a lot of them, including Sirhan Sirhan that killed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and I looked at it in my more recent book, I looked at Lee Harvey Oswald and his assassination of JFK. There are expressive... factors that that go into the commission of these kinds of crimes that that is what what are the symbolic factors that that drive these kinds of crimes and as i look at at robinson and mangione there are distinct similarities there's more commonalities than there are dissimilarities the let me say first that this this charlie kirk assassination is just unbelievable i mean the the the the outpouring of of love and friendship for what this guy did at age 31 is absolutely amazing. So in his death, his movement is really spreading rapidly, which I guess on the other side of the aisle, this is not good news, especially because I suppose that the bottom line is that everybody's looking at the midterm elections.
next year, which if the Democrats prevail, then we'll go through the same stuff with Trump all over again. With these two murderers, there's so many, as I said, there's so many similarities, Gary, between the modus operandi that they used. the the symbolism, the markings of the bullets. I mean, that's just not a coincidence. And I wonder, once we go through Robinson's emails and we have more than what the prosecutor laid out in that presser, if we're going to find that that he didn't Google Luigi Mangione. and get background on him. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that's true, because, as I said, the symbolism tied into both of these assassinations is absolutely amazing. You call these guys ideological tourists. In other words, they're... That's a great term. They're not, I know, it's yours. Yeah. They're not... Oh, okay. They're not... They're not... They haven't been radicalized for like months and years. They haven't been to a madrasa or anything like that to become killers. All of a sudden, it just happened. Something snaps. What is that something? Do we know? Well, I mean, I call it ideological tourism because there's literally millions of people who are looking for a different ideology. Once they get on the edge of this surrender, I don't really call it radicalization anymore because the term is so... misunderstood and so overused everybody and their brothers talking about radicalization i call it a conversion to a different ideology where these people get imbued with messages that they really can't control anymore and it changes their their basic philosophical outlook on society and what their purpose is. The nature of this ideological tourism was very clear with Mangione when he disappeared, he sequestered himself and went to Honolulu, joined a commune and his thoughts became very... entangled with this ideology that he was the person who was designated to change society. This is a common...
philosophical belief, Gary, that these people, perhaps with Robinson the same, that they are the designated people who are going to change the course of at least American political history. So they both have this sense of, it's like a Machiavellian sense of the end justifies the means where they appear to a higher authority. And what they do is justified, even though it's pure evil. Yeah, I mean, and these references, these analogies are made way too often and have been made way too often because nothing compares. But let me tell you this, just from what you just said, what made me. Yeah. The instantly what I thought of was Adolf Hitler at a time when Germany was. completely bankrupt after World War I. He had been imprisoned. He thought he was destined to change not only the country of Germany, but the world. And he said about it and thought he was justified in everything he did. I mean, exactly like these guys. And these guys aren't Hitler. I get that. But it's the same kind of narcissism at work, isn't it? Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, that's a very apt comparison. I mean, we're not talking about Adolf Hitler, you know, the little corporal, little Austrian corporal that created one of the worst mass social movements in history. We're talking about an ideology of these people that have, that rub off and have similar kinds of copycat phenomenon. where where they see themselves as the as the ultimate arbiter right and what's wrong the symbolism the symbolism of the psychology is is similar That's right. That's right. It's very similar. And it ties into another concept, which is rampant in society today, which is called effective altruism. This is kind of a misnomer, new philosophy spreading throughout the country where the allocation of financial and human resources have to be done with the ultimate good of society in mind. And this was certainly true with Mangione. I'm doing a book now on Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos blood testing lady. And she was, in my opinion, she was deeply imbued with the sense of effective altruism, which puts her belief system above other people.
These people then drift into this, what they think is altruistic, but actually it is antithetical to the Operation Society. Another person, Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX, cryptocurrency guy, a very complex, very super-intelligent person. He advanced the notion. of effective altruism. He ended up with 25 years in prison, of course. Elizabeth Holmes, also an aficionado of effective altruism. She ended up with 11.5 years in a federal prison. Well, you know, and Sam Beckman-Fried, you know, actually... He went through a lot more, he went through a lot more money than Kamala Harris during the campaign, even. Amazing. Yeah, I mean, $50 billion or something. Right, right, exactly. That he outwardly stole from people with Robinson. It's not a matter of economics. No. It's a matter, his effect of altruism. Let's just assume is based on his belief system that Charlie Kirk represented something which was antithetical to his belief system, and it ties into so many other variables such as transsexualism, such as his own sense of confusion and his own sense of ideological tourism, loneliness being cut off. You know, we've seen, I want to get to this, Dr. Brady, real quick, and then we'll talk about your book, your brand new book, and how people can pre-order it. Oh, good, good, good. The trans shooter in Nashville at the school, the girl, these other acts of violence committed by transgender activists or people who have this ideology that. surpasses everything else in society and in their lives. This is part of this ideology, this altruism too, isn't it?
Well, it's a different approach. As I said, there are many vectors that impinge on these people that, that in some cases force them to do things that they aren't really aware of. In Mangione's case, I think he was not really aware of his conversion. into this alternative identity he even claims that the the covid shot had had disabled his ability to think clearly he talks he talks about him being in a cloud after he got the covid shot then he disappears he sequesters himself he becomes converted to this new social dynamism that he needs to take steps to correct society. Therefore, he assassins the CEO of United Healthcare. So there's these cross-vectors, one of them is the transsexual situation, which we don't have enough time to really go into today. But with the actual shooters who are involved in this, this entails. biological, genetic, behavioral. emotional instability caused by these people going through these kinds of procedures that leave them in a state of unwee or they don't really know who they are right and they become very confused and then they're easily easily enticed into an alternative belief system and they engage as you say They engage in behaviors, which in, in my view, in most cases, they're unable to control because there's so many, you know, as I said, biological, genetic. In other words, in other words, they're just so broken. There's no way for them to. to stop it at a certain point. We're talking to Dr. John Brady. That's right. That's right. A forensic psychologist, very famous. And there's a new book coming out, and you can pre-order Dr. Brady's book. It's called Breakdown, A Criminal Analysis of Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan, Sirhan, along with OJ Simpson, the Hillside Strangler, Ted Kaczynski, Luigi Mangione, and others. And people can order that now, Dr. Brady? Yes, they can order it from the publisher, Trine Day, T-R-I-N-E-D-A-Y. They can order it from Barnes & Noble. They can order it from my website, just Dr. John C. Brady.com. They can order it from Amazon. So that book will be released in about three weeks, and then maybe Gary, you and I can have another conversation concerning Lee Harvey Oswald.
I would look forward to that greatly. Dr. Brady, thank you so much for your time today. And we'll watch for the book, Breakdown by Dr. John Brady and maybe a follow-up conversation on one of my nightcaps, which the season is just getting ready to kick in for that for full. Dr. Brady, thank you so much. One of the thank you and thank WLD. WLW. WLW, sorry. WLW. There you go. Well, thank you, WLW. That's it. We'll take a break and come back.
