Bars either on campus, near campus, or downtown that are
offering free beer to celebrate the Columbus Crews winning the
League's Cup championship. Now the caveat there is and this
may actually help the case or hurt the case, depending
on what kind of beer you like.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's a free Cour's light. Now, beer is beer. It
always tastes better when it's free. So I don't care
exactly I'm in.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So you want to get a free beer, there's about
a half dozens bars, Library Bar, yep, vic Village Tavern
on fifth, Leo is on the Alley on chittend In,
old Field's on fourth, Boston's which is Arena District kitty
corner from Nationwide, and Novak's Tavern. Hang on.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I got to write these down.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, you get a free beer from six thirty to
nine on Saturday, or while supplies last.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
So it's from six thirty to seven. So here's the plant.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So then well then also this week on Saturday, you've
got the World Naked Bike Ride downtown.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That'll be exciting. The World Naked Bike Ride.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, that starts around seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
What a weekend alcohol naked people a weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
There will be people in various states of undress, riding
their bikes to promote pedal power, body positivity, and freedom
from dependence on air polluting fuels. Now, they do warn
that because there are some legal restrictions if you go
full frontal, that's at your own risk.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Okay, then just bike faster than everybody else. That's all
I can say.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So if you want to see people riding their bikes
naked downtown in the Short.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
North and that's the place to be. So here's your
plan this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Go to the Buckeye game, maybe tailgate that game's wrapping
up around six thirty seven o'clock, Go get your free beer,
Go get your one free cours light, and then get
to the Short North around seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And go be a part of the world naked bike ride. Oh,
dotting the eye all over Columbus.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
What the time to be a lot random states of
undress that should be happening all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And riding a bike without any clothes on. That seems
like it's just gonna hurt. Better be a comfortable seat, brother, Oh,
there's you gotta way. You gotta have a seat.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Uh, changes be preferable ten after eight, all right, let's
uh checking with Bob Clegg, our GOP strategist from right
here in central Ohio on the Legacy Retirementgroup dot com
phone line. Bob, thanks for the time this morning. Uh
are you ready to go? Tomorrow night CNN. It's gonna
be her first sit down with a reporter, although it
(02:33):
is Dana Bash on CNN, and she will have Tim
Walls with her. But and it's my understanding this is
going to be taped, so I would not expect anything
to come out of this, of any subsidence of matter.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, I mean they're trying to set this up so
that she comes across as you know, as good as possible.
I mean, uh, here she brings her vice presidential candidate
with her. What is that about? I mean, is she
that week that she needs to bring her running mate
so that she doesn't what so she can't just go
(03:07):
on and on and on with all of her word salads.
And it's amazing that it's taken this long. It's amazing
that her campaign has been kind of in an upheaval
trying to figure out what are we going to do
with her about sitting down for her first interview? I mean,
if they can't handle something like this, And if she
(03:29):
can't handle something as easy as this, what is she
going to do as president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, she is unprepared for uncontrolled environments.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
We know that, and this will be very much a
controlled environment and will have been thirty nine days after
her being installed as the nominee. Now I will say
this about her bringing walls along. I mean, he does
have some questions to answer himself too, about he's got
a problem with the truth. I mean, he's got some
military things he needs to answer for. He has some
(03:59):
a war that he has faked about faked receiving awards
from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
He does have some questions. Now, whether they'll be asked
or not a.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Different question, that's the key, Mike. I mean, I don't
think they're going to be asking him anything about any
of his military paths or the lies that he has
put out there in the past. They aren't going to
go anywhere near that. It's all going to be about
the campaign of joy. I mean, they picked their venue
very carefully, they picked their questioner very carefully. They weren't
(04:35):
going to leave anything the chance. And you saw that
earlier this week when they started putting down new demands
on this debate that's going to happen on September tenth. Yeah,
I mean, they basically wanted everything that would have helped
Kamala Harris in that debate, and they didn't get it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, it looks like it's going to be the standard
rules that they both agreed on when Biden was going
to debate TRU So that's that's good. And uh so
there's some other stuff too coming out today. It looks
like Kamalin Al is flip flopping. She's all about she's
all about immigration, Bob, She's all about building that border wall.
She she is acting like the borders are that she
(05:15):
said she never was. She called it at one point
Donald Trump's medieval vanity project.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I know, hey, Mike, you know what, I think she's
been watching shared Brown commercial. That's how she figured that
one out.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
She's starting to sound like a Republican Bob.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, oh gosh, I mean, I mean to look at
his ma. He didn't know any better. You would have
thought he has been the toughest guy in the US
Senate on controlling the border. Hey, they all can recoll
they know that immigration, that that wide open border is
a big, big issue, and you know, unfortunately for her,
(05:53):
it's a big, big issue in the states that she
needs to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, in Wisconsin. So you know,
this is the sort of thing to look at this.
How many times are we going to let her flip
flop on every single major issue that she had a
(06:13):
stance on previously and now she's changed absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Speaking with GOP strategist Bob Clegg, I want to take
a second and talk issue one. It's it's the issue
one here in Ohio. It's the only state issue on
the ballot. And this has to do with jerry mandering.
This is brought forward by citizens, not politicians. They want
this unelected board of just regular old citizens to help
(06:39):
draw the election maps. And then jerry mandering in a
nutshell is you've got politicians that will decide the maps
in the state and they'll do it in their favor.
And you know, I think you and I one time
had a conversation and a kind of tongue in cheek
half kidding that you know what, it's kind of like
home field advantage. If you want to draw your own maps,
(06:59):
then that's great. Get better politicians and get them elected,
so then they can then you can draw the mats
in your favor.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, it's called politics for a reason. It's called politics
because you're in this to win. The problem is the
Democrats in Ohio have become so pathetic they cannot win
with their candidates on the ballot. So when they can't
do it that way, they try to do it the
other ways. And lately it has been all these courts,
(07:27):
trying to go to courts, federal courts and getting stuff
done via the court. And now they figured out, ooh,
we can go constituential amendment route and do it that way.
This is all aeric holder, you know, Obama's old age
and his group that's pushing this stuff. It's always interesting.
I love it. You know, this group is supposedly against jerrymandering,
(07:48):
but they don't go into a state that like Illinois,
which has you know, Democrat majority throughout the states and
has drawn the most jurymandered map in the US. If
you look at their congressional districts, it's it's ridiculous. But
you know what, they don't care about Illinois because that
jerry mander helps their people. All they care about is
(08:10):
Republican states and trying to tie our hands and put
in people that are not accountable to the voters.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, that's it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You've got unelected people again, you know, dictating policy and
dictating how things go.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's like, you know, if I don't like the map,
who how can I vote those people out?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Who we have no recourse? Who has no recourse there?
And I've seen this in other states like California and
New Jersey. And these independents may be independents in name only,
they always have a bias. They always have a liberal bias,
which means that the maps that are you know, produced
help Democrats absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
But by the way, the governor does not support Issue one.
Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman does not support Issue one,
and Attorney General Dave Jos does not support Issue one
as well. So it's not one of these slam dunk
things that's going to move through. Although they are spending
a ton of money. I think last I saw it
was like almost seventeen million.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, I've been getting the alerts on the placement of
their TV and just like they did with the abortion issue,
they're just going to try to buy their way into
this
Bars either on campus, near campus, or downtown that are
offering free beer to celebrate the Columbus Crews winning the
League's Cup championship. Now the caveat there is and this
may actually help the case or hurt the case, depending
on what kind of beer you like.
