The Bruce Hooley Show

Bruce plays audio from Franklin Graham praying at the white house, and then he plays the response to the prayer from Tucker Carlson. Tucker completely misconstrues the meaning and twists it around to go the opposite way that it was meant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, criticized President Donald Trump after he fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Columbus City Council members are talking with the Haslam Sports Group about a ticket tax on Columbus Crew games that would fund a training facility for a potential National Women's Soccer League franchise. Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin says "There's no reason we can't build this world class training facility while preserving our city's capital budget for things like rec centers,...

Bruce reviews the rescue of the US Airman shot down in Iran. Also, during Easter celebrations at the White House, Trump makes comments about the Iran conflict. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce goes into the Wexner situation again, with many people calling him guilty without proof of wrong-doing. Then he talks about Trump being found guilty in New York and getting up charged after he disagreed with the verdict. Here in America we should all hope to be treated fairly in the eyes of the law. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce is fired up about the incompetence we're dealing with in our courts, specifically here in Ohio. A dumb oversight has led to a retrial in a case that is open and shut. We also have over 100 inmates on death row here in Ohio, we haven't executed anyone since 2018. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce plays audio clips from Trump talking about the operations in Iran, as well as him shooting down provocative questions from the members of the press pool. Trump is still convinced they can accomplish what they set out to do in Iran and he's not gonna take any nonsense from the media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce shares some eyebrow raising statistics about how much some of the members of the House and Senate are making and what they're currently worth. Some of these roles are important but some of them definitely don't need to be making that much money. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce talks about a battle going on between the police chief in Cincinnati and the city council. They're trying to relieve her of her duties and she contends she's being wrongly terminated. Bruce doesn't know what to make of this one. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce continues to be confused by what's going on in the Columbus schools. They're spending their whole budget on unessential things so they can keep receiving a bigger budget and they're closing their most successful buildings because then their test scores won't seem low enough. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce has a collection of stories from around the country, capped by Don Lemon who claims he's too modest to run for president but he wants to run his own news company, because he'd do a much better job than anyone else. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce plays a clip from a Christmas broadcast from space in 1968. Apollo 8 sent back a Christmas message of biblical sentiments. Sadly, if anything like that were to happen today they would be soundly condemned. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce can't believe the lack of support for ICE that we have here in Ohio. There is a surprisingly low number of counties who are actually complying with ICE and assisting them as needed in their operations. This certainly needs to change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce takes a look at the declining birth rates in the country and theorizes what is behind it. Young people have become more self centered and focused on their jobs and other things as opposed to trying to start a family. This is a troubling trend moving into the future. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce is once again disappointed with comments made by the new Pope. He is trying to make space for Islam to coincide peacefully with Christianity. That is a very dangerous thing to try to do given the pension for violence in the Islamic faith. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce discusses the comments made by NBA player Jaden Ivey, who was released by the Chicago Bulls after questioning why the NBA needs to support pride month and homosexuality. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce compares the idiots at the No Kings protests with the people who went to support our fallen airmen as they returned home from Iraq. On one hand you have a group of people who hate Donald Trump and America, and on the other you have people mourning our fallen military personnel. Which do you think was a better use of time? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce laments the fact that he had to sit through an immigration lesson from Charles Barkley during one of the basketball games over the weekend. Charles tries to equate the players on Illinois who are here legally with the criminals who are here illegally in the country. Stick to basketball Chuck. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It appears that North Korea is providing Iran with their long range ballistic missiles. We didn't sanction North Korea in time to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons, and this is why we absolutely must prevent Iran from obtaining their own nukes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce has his weekly chat with Josh Pick about the economy and retirement. They go into some tips that you can use to get your taxes filed and some potential adjustments you can make to the 2025 filing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce takes a look at a principle who abused a student and was not fired from his position. If you don't lose your job as an educator after punching a student repeatedly in the chest and shaving his head, what will you lose your job over? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce discusses the topic of property taxes in Ohio. Many people want to eliminate property taxes, Vivek Ramaswamy initially said he was going to eliminate property taxes, but he has backtracked to a much more reasonable solution. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce talks about a fine that was handed out to Mark Zuckerburg for social media not sufficiently protecting young people, specifically young girls. The Fine sounds like a lot to you and me, but to him it's like $288. He's laughing all the way to the bank. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce plays audio clips from Bob Costas who says that common sense is not transphobic. Maybe people are finally starting to realize that men should not be playing in women's sports and it's simply a matter of common sense. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
