Im with guests tonight. Orca biologist naomi rose and jack hanna, director of the columbus zoo. Thank you for coming back. When i go around the parks, which ive done, im not an employee of seaworld. Have i charged for speeches before . Yes, i have. I went to seaworld in 1973. I was one of the first visitors. I continue to take my kids and their kids and hopefully their kids. If i thought one han mall there was being mistreated or wasnt so to speak happy, whatever happy is, and of course some of these guys who know about whales will tell you what happy is and what happy isnt. Thats what i see when i visit these parks. And out of sight is out of mind. Killer whales 40 years ago were out there in the oceans of the world, knowing what they were, they were out of sight. So thats out of mind. All right, jack. Well get to this. But you love something, you have to save something. Let me just say this. We want to make this a conversation. Lets keep it moving back and forth. Billy hurley, i know
And jack hanna, host of jack hannas into the wild. Welcome all of you. Jack, im going to start with you. I know for the last hour and a half we have been listening to a specific perspective. Let me get your thoughts on what you think of this film. Well, obviously the film is emotional. Having had the honor, i guess you could say, to lead dawn to memorial at seaworld shortly after her death, ive been going to seaworld since 1973. You talk about the term we use at other waterparks and places like seaworld, aquariums and zoos. It touches the heart to teach the minds. I live by that. Ive alwaysed lived by that. Did this documentary touch our hearts . It did. What is on the video in the past 30 or 40 years was on the video there. But the people i can tell you now that work at seaworld from the ceos to the trainers down to the people that serve the food are all people that love the animals just as much as they love their families. When i go around the parks, which ive done, im not an employe
I just got off the phone with somebody who was part of that meeting. There were about 30 people there. These were leaders in the conservative movement both on the social conservative side and the fiscally conservative side. And the discussion was, as you said, how do they, first of all, stop donald trump, but tactically what is the best way to go about it. And behind the scenes, the real feeling is the best way to do it would to be try to consolidate around ted cruz. But that given the reality that at this point his biggest opponent or only opponent left, john kasich, doesnt appear to want to get out of the race and has no intention of doing so. Its going to be a delegate dance to do that. They expect if that doesnt happen theyll go to the convention. It will be a contested convention. A lot of toing and froing about how they get down to the votes. Probably several ballot votes through all of these delegates. Its going to be a lot of political chess in trying to figure out how to stop
