The Bruce Hooley Show

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.

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.

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.

Contrary to what many of the democrats have been screaming, it turns out that Iran has been negotiating with Trump, maybe because they've been completely beaten into the ground. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce plays some audio clips where democrats refuse to back down from letting men in women's spaces and sports. If the percentage is so small we should ignore it, then would you ignore an amount of rat poison in your coffee? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce closes the show talking with Robert Cooperman of Stage Right Theatrics about some of his upcoming plays. Then Bruce pitches his idea for a play called Woke Newsroom, where facts are discarded to fit agendas. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce checks out the Columbus budget numbers for nonprofit organizations and is disappointed to discover that mothers of murdered children are receiving nothing from the city even though they are sending 17 million to other organizations. Ginther can always say the right thing, but can never do the right thing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
