Speaker 1: Five O five A fifty five k r C the
0:10
Speaker 1: talk station Epy Monday, winter is coming. That's some funny
0:32
Speaker 1: Joe Jofs Tracker, Good to see you man. Brian Thomas,
0:35
Speaker 1: back from some time off. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and
0:37
Speaker 1: thank you for indulging me while I had some time off.
0:40
Speaker 1: This is exactly what I was thinking about. So I'm
0:42
Speaker 1: looking at the weather forecast as we got snow coming
0:44
Speaker 1: our way. It's cold out. Yeah. Yeah. Just my wife
0:49
Speaker 1: and I yesterday, just every time we had to go
0:51
Speaker 1: outside for it, it was like the cold went right
0:54
Speaker 1: through you. Not a good way, not like it went
0:56
Speaker 1: through you and didn't body. It's like as soon as
0:58
Speaker 1: it hit, it was like bone deep. What in the
1:00
Speaker 1: hell is going on here? Is not that cold out?
1:03
Speaker 1: But then again I just chalked it off to well,
1:06
Speaker 1: it just sucks getting old. I looked at her. I said,
1:09
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're going to be talking about
1:10
Speaker 1: moving to Florida, and her eyes lit up. It's like, no, no, no,
1:15
Speaker 1: not yet, not yet. My dad used to have comments
1:19
Speaker 1: all the time when they were down in Florida, when
1:21
Speaker 1: he was still working, He's take February off. He would
1:23
Speaker 1: make fun of then what he would call the old people.
1:28
Speaker 1: It catches up with everybody, doesn't it. Wearing winter coats
1:32
Speaker 1: when it was fifty degrees out. He's like, I'm over
1:35
Speaker 1: the public. So everybody's got winter coats on? What is
1:37
Speaker 1: with these people? It's not that cold out? Yeah, okay,
1:40
Speaker 1: it does have a chance or a way of catching up.
1:42
Speaker 1: Are you anyway? Happy Monday? Trying to make it so anyway,
1:46
Speaker 1: Wednesday's going to be listener lunch day. Looking forward to that.
1:48
Speaker 1: And of course, so we've got our Christmas party here
1:51
Speaker 1: at the High Hearted Media Cluster as they refer to
1:54
Speaker 1: the various stations at Our Heart's Control. That's on Wednesday
1:57
Speaker 1: as well. So I got a full Wednesday coming up.
1:59
Speaker 1: But I really am looking for or to listen to
2:00
Speaker 1: lunch last one of the year we celebrate the holidays.
2:03
Speaker 1: I know Santa Claus Bob Wetter, mister humanitarian himself and
2:06
Speaker 1: the wish tree creator back in the nineteen eighties when
2:10
Speaker 1: he was over at Chiltoes managing the office base of
2:13
Speaker 1: the building there started the program. So if you're a
2:16
Speaker 1: business like a tree, he would love to provide you
2:18
Speaker 1: with a tree. Of course, the ornaments on the tree
2:20
Speaker 1: are what's critical to that. Grab an ornament, get the
2:23
Speaker 1: gift that the individual need really is hoping for for
2:28
Speaker 1: Christmas and return it to where you got the tree,
2:30
Speaker 1: or just give Bob a call. He'll pick it up.
2:32
Speaker 1: But that's what it's all about this holiday season, engaging
2:34
Speaker 1: the little charity. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I
2:37
Speaker 1: can't thank my family enough for just an outstanding day.
2:42
Speaker 1: We're in a nice time. It was fun, and of
2:45
Speaker 1: course time marches on. It's just the only downside is
2:49
Speaker 1: that my fond recollections of Thanksgiving spring from when I
2:52
Speaker 1: was a little kid, and seeing all the aunts and
2:54
Speaker 1: uncles and family that you never saw throughout the year,
2:57
Speaker 1: well you know a lot of them aren't with us anymore.
3:00
Speaker 1: And noticing the age of everyone who was at Thanksgiving,
3:03
Speaker 1: I just it's just a little heartbreaking. It's heartwarming in
3:06
Speaker 1: many respects. But you know, enjoy the time you had
3:09
Speaker 1: with family. Why you've got it, you know, there but
3:11
Speaker 1: for the grace of God go Why we do not
3:13
Speaker 1: know the number or days we've got on this planet.
3:17
Speaker 1: So even if you're a young person and try to
3:19
Speaker 1: enjoy it, think of time with family and put a
3:22
Speaker 1: smile on your face, and absolutely no political discussions at Thanksgiving,
3:26
Speaker 1: which I was really happy about. Didn't even have to
3:28
Speaker 1: make a rule announcement at the outset of that thing.
3:30
Speaker 1: Five three seven, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
3:33
Speaker 1: eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on your
3:35
Speaker 1: AT and T phone all kinds of places. Looks like uh,
3:42
Speaker 1: I mean, just going through the headlines, we got problems
3:46
Speaker 1: with Somali's in Minnesota, Yes we do. Trump actually told
3:51
Speaker 1: Maduro to get the hell out of his country to
3:53
Speaker 1: save himself and his family. You know, if you've got
3:55
Speaker 1: an idea of where this this war authorization is coming from,
3:58
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm a bit of a stickler for
4:00
Speaker 1: the rules, and I worry about unilateral waging of war
4:03
Speaker 1: without even congressional approval or even operating pursuing to some
4:06
Speaker 1: authorization for you, some military force. I mean, we got
4:09
Speaker 1: a whole carrier group down there. We keep adding more
4:11
Speaker 1: and more military personnel, and now we've got this ultimatum.
4:15
Speaker 1: He's on the phone with this guy yesterday, this Maduro character,
4:18
Speaker 1: basically saying get the hell out now. Maduro wanted some assurances,
4:22
Speaker 1: which suggested to me that he actually might have considered
4:28
Speaker 1: this offer. No deal reached. Apparently the US rejected three
4:36
Speaker 1: conditions that the Maduro's inner circle is seeking. So you
4:40
Speaker 1: get the phone called Maduro, your days are numbered and
4:44
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you get out, you and your family.
4:49
Speaker 1: Can you reach any other conclusion beyond that rockets and
4:53
Speaker 1: bombs are going to be dropped, get out of the
4:56
Speaker 1: land that you are on in your country, the house
4:59
Speaker 1: you live in, or wherever you find yourself, or there's
5:03
Speaker 1: going to be trouble that there's no other reading that
5:06
Speaker 1: I can come up with me than anything beyond that
5:08
Speaker 1: we're going to bomb you. And so, having declared this, this
5:14
Speaker 1: Cartel delos Sols a terrorist organization, along with growing reports
5:22
Speaker 1: that maybe you've read, I've read a lot of them
5:26
Speaker 1: that Madura's military is actively engaging in the facilitation of
5:30
Speaker 1: drugs being flown around within and without the country. Now,
5:34
Speaker 1: if Madua's military is being used for drug trafficking purposes,
5:39
Speaker 1: helping and facilitating the Cartel Delo's soul As operations, does
5:45
Speaker 1: that not make them part of the terrorist organization? Okay,
5:50
Speaker 1: So if you believe that we have the ability to
5:52
Speaker 1: bomb the terrorist organization, then aren't you then by necessity
5:56
Speaker 1: going to have to bomb Adura's military. Just trying to
6:03
Speaker 1: sort through all this anyway, Apparently the no deal was reached.
6:09
Speaker 1: The three key conditions that the Maduro folks were asking
6:14
Speaker 1: for global amnesty for crimes that Washington leaks links to
6:20
Speaker 1: this terrorist organization Cartel de Loo Solas. Now that was
6:25
Speaker 1: a request from Maduro folks global amnesty for crimes related
6:30
Speaker 1: to this. Well, if you're seeking I guess I have
6:36
Speaker 1: to ask this out loud. Is Donald Trump in a
6:37
Speaker 1: position to grant global amnesty if there are other countries
6:41
Speaker 1: out there in the world they think he's committed crimes.
6:44
Speaker 1: I guess they, like us, could bring Maduro to justice
6:47
Speaker 1: in whatever way, shape or form that they think is appropriate,
6:49
Speaker 1: just like Donald Trump is doing this. The other thing
6:52
Speaker 1: is a Nigaraguan style transition that would allow the regime
6:57
Speaker 1: to retain control of the armed forces. I thought was
7:00
Speaker 1: rather weird. If you kick a man out of the
7:02
Speaker 1: country by threatening his life and telling him his regime
7:05
Speaker 1: is going to be overthrown, how is it that he
7:07
Speaker 1: could maintain control of the military. I don't get that one.
7:10
Speaker 1: And finally, a delayed resignation timetable adjusting the time. Anyway,
7:15
Speaker 1: it fell through. So apparently staying what's phase two? I mean,
7:24
Speaker 1: we get to profit at phase three is the running joke.
7:27
Speaker 1: But what's next? Are we going to start bombing? And
7:32
Speaker 1: if we do, and there's got to be somebody out
7:35
Speaker 1: there who say, well, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, what
7:36
Speaker 1: about the authorization to bomb? I'm not arguing these folks
7:41
Speaker 1: aren't narco terrorists. That's not me. I'm not arguing that
7:44
Speaker 1: they're not trying to bring drugs in the United States.
7:47
Speaker 1: I know it's happening, but there's a missing sort of
7:51
Speaker 1: I want to say, due process element. But I'm confused
7:55
Speaker 1: by all this. And I know we play fast and
7:57
Speaker 1: loose with literally everything in this world. It's political expedience
8:00
Speaker 1: the day for everyone globally, it seems so again once
8:05
Speaker 1: the the pesky constitution that is the supreme law of
8:08
Speaker 1: the land rears its ugly head, and so far as
8:10
Speaker 1: military engagements are concerned. So anyway, that's unfolding as we speak.
8:17
Speaker 1: What else is going on that we can talk about today?
8:20
Speaker 1: Of course, the shooting of the National Guard folks, Trump
8:23
Speaker 1: freezing asylum claims, and one of the problems that we
8:28
Speaker 1: are facing in how White House borders are. Tom Holman's
8:31
Speaker 1: kind of summed it up. There's all this vetting problem,
8:34
Speaker 1: and so when you have Afghani nationals like the one
8:36
Speaker 1: that was committed murder and killing a couple of National
8:38
Speaker 1: Guard folks, and you start talking about, well, well that person
8:40
Speaker 1: properly vetted, and Tom Homan pointed out the problem with
8:44
Speaker 1: that there are there is no way that we can
8:46
Speaker 1: even begin to vet the millions of people that came
8:50
Speaker 1: from third world countries because they don't have any information
8:52
Speaker 1: on them. We talked about this long ago. Maybe it
8:55
Speaker 1: was with the Afghanistan pull out, maybe it was during
8:58
Speaker 1: other periods of time. I know this is a problem
9:00
Speaker 1: that's been existing vetting people on the border. How do
9:03
Speaker 1: you vet someone? It was under the Biden administration. We're
9:06
Speaker 1: all alarmed about the tens of millions of people that
9:08
Speaker 1: were flowing over the southern border. Who are these people,
9:10
Speaker 1: where do they come from? Do they have criminal backgrounds? Well,
9:13
Speaker 1: apparently a lot of them do. A lot of them
9:15
Speaker 1: were dumped out of the various prisons around the world.
9:17
Speaker 1: We don't want our prisoners, we don't have to take
9:19
Speaker 1: care of these crazy thug murder or rapist. Let's just
9:22
Speaker 1: ship them to the United States southern border. Hey, where
9:26
Speaker 1: are you from? Pick a country? Got any papers? Nope,
9:30
Speaker 1: they don't issue them where we're from. How many documents
9:35
Speaker 1: do you think the afghan the Afghanistani people, the gut,
9:39
Speaker 1: whatever form of government, the Taliban or whoever was running Afghanistan.
9:43
Speaker 1: You had decade of plus conflict with the Soviet Union
9:46
Speaker 1: running it. I'm sure there was no record keeping. Then
9:49
Speaker 1: we go in and we're there for fifteen years or whatever.
9:52
Speaker 1: Do you think there was any record keeping going on
9:54
Speaker 1: during that period of turmoil? Probably not ergo, you don't
9:58
Speaker 1: know if this person's a member of Terosta organization or not.
10:00
Speaker 1: There's no way to ever figured out.
10:03
Speaker 2: So.
10:05
Speaker 1: And it's of course Afghanistan. It's not the only country.
10:08
Speaker 1: A lot of these third world countries have zero zero
10:11
Speaker 1: zero tracking. I mean Homean summed it up quite nicely,
10:15
Speaker 1: all well, And the same thing with illegal aliens of
10:18
Speaker 1: the over ten million that came across the border under
10:20
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, there's no way to vet these people, he
10:23
Speaker 1: said yesterday. You think El Salvador, or Turkey or Sudan
10:28
Speaker 1: or any of these countries have databases or system checks
10:30
Speaker 1: that we have. Do you think the governments of China, Russia, Turkey,
10:35
Speaker 1: do you think they're going to share that data with us?
10:38
Speaker 1: Even if they do have it. There's no way to
10:41
Speaker 1: clearly vet these people one hundred percent that they're safe
10:44
Speaker 1: to come into this country from these third world nations. Well,
10:48
Speaker 1: I think that is in a demonstrably true statement. How
10:53
Speaker 1: do you vet him? And Trump said, listen, if you
10:58
Speaker 1: can't prove but these folks are safe, they're not terrorists,
11:03
Speaker 1: it's like trying to prove a negative, then they're going
11:06
Speaker 1: to be kicked out or they're going to be denied
11:08
Speaker 1: entry into our country. Now, if your job, and I
11:14
Speaker 1: believe it is the president's job, is to protect the
11:15
Speaker 1: American people and it's interest, then they are taking the
11:18
Speaker 1: right tact on that. But it does create complications and
11:21
Speaker 1: of course dust off the ACLU and all the civil
11:24
Speaker 1: rights attorneys out there who are talking about due process
11:26
Speaker 1: and these people need a day in court, et cetera,
11:28
Speaker 1: et cetera. This is, I believe, to my military personnel,
11:32
Speaker 1: the true definition of a Charlie Fox Trot five three seven,
11:36
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five eight hundred and two to three
11:39
Speaker 1: talk pound FI fifty on AT and T phones. Talk
11:41
Speaker 1: about whatever you want to talk about. Feel free to
11:43
Speaker 1: get my motor run in this morning as I try
11:46
Speaker 1: to wake up from a wonderful period of time. Off
11:48
Speaker 1: be right back fifty five krc after that with a
11:53
Speaker 1: high thirty three overnight twenty cloudy and on Wednesday at
11:56
Speaker 1: partly cloudy day. Some sun is possible to for Thursday anyway,
12:00
Speaker 1: you gotta wait for it. Thirty six to high on Wednesday,
12:02
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven degrees. Right now, I think about car
12:04
Speaker 1: see the talk station there it is, so I have
12:07
Speaker 1: twenty one. I haven't done a PLAGU update in a
12:10
Speaker 1: long time. Since I don't have any calls on the line,
12:11
Speaker 1: I want to talk about something more important. Let's talk
12:13
Speaker 1: about a PLAG update. I guess maybe marijuana not as
12:20
Speaker 1: safe as many have counted it to be. A couple
12:27
Speaker 1: articles related to it. Court of the Journal of American
12:31
Speaker 1: Medical Association did a study. They reviewed all the randomized
12:34
Speaker 1: clinical trials and there's not enough of them out there.
12:36
Speaker 1: They published last week Cardiovascular and Psychiatric Health Risk from
12:41
Speaker 1: smoking medical marijuana. And the funny thing is the article
12:44
Speaker 1: focuses on medical marijuana, which is that you know you
12:47
Speaker 1: get a card issued by a doctor saying this is
12:49
Speaker 1: going to benefit you for you know, insomnia or whatever.
12:52
Speaker 1: Some of the states have legal categories that if you're
12:55
Speaker 1: struggling from some particular ailment, then medical marijuana can be
12:59
Speaker 1: quote unquote. So there's not a whole lot of studies
13:05
Speaker 1: done on this because it's scheduled one under federal law prohibits,
13:08
Speaker 1: you know, researchers from doing a lot of studies into
13:10
Speaker 1: the downside effects of it. So it's so far as
13:15
Speaker 1: the medical concerns or medical uses, they're just basically saying, now,
13:19
Speaker 1: it's really not there. There's there's so much downside risk
13:22
Speaker 1: and smoking weed compared to the so called potential benefits
13:27
Speaker 1: from smoking weed that it may not be worth it
13:30
Speaker 1: and we need to do more study. So I'll acknowledge that.
13:34
Speaker 1: But here's one. You know, anybody that's been having a
13:38
Speaker 1: problem with scramating, I actually know someone who's struggle with
13:44
Speaker 1: this scrammating. You're smoking a lot of weed, You've got
13:49
Speaker 1: a problem on your hands. Maybe a large percentage of
13:51
Speaker 1: folks study sudden stomach churning attacks, doubling over in pain
13:57
Speaker 1: lasting for hours, and the the only relief that seems
14:01
Speaker 1: to that it can be provided to these people dealing
14:04
Speaker 1: with what they call cannabis hyper emesis syndrome CCHS, caused
14:11
Speaker 1: by smoking weed triggers relentless nausea, abdominal pain, and severe
14:17
Speaker 1: vomiting that can strike four or five times an hour.
14:22
Speaker 1: Symptoms usually appear within twenty four hours of smoking the weed.
14:25
Speaker 1: They say the episodes are so brutal that er staff
14:28
Speaker 1: have coined the term scrammeting, which is a mashup of
14:31
Speaker 1: screaming and vomiting. Most doctors don't draw a connection between
14:37
Speaker 1: the pain that these people are experiencing in the er
14:40
Speaker 1: with smoking wheed. Person will often have multiple emergency department
14:45
Speaker 1: visits until it's correctly recognized, which, of course, if you
14:50
Speaker 1: know how much it costs going to an ER, if
14:53
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of dollars for something that can be
14:56
Speaker 1: avoided just simply by not smoking weed at all. FDA
15:00
Speaker 1: approved therapies for this problem, They say it can be
15:03
Speaker 1: difficult to treat standard anti nausea medications do not work.
15:08
Speaker 1: These are all statements sided by various doctors that were
15:11
Speaker 1: in the article. Some patients find limited relief caused by
15:14
Speaker 1: rubbing cap satan cream on their stomachs, but also hot
15:19
Speaker 1: baths and showers are a key indicator because if you
15:21
Speaker 1: find yourself in the shower hot showers dealing with this
15:25
Speaker 1: nausea and vomiting, and you have to acknowledge to in
15:28
Speaker 1: the back of your head that hm, I was smoking weed.
15:31
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the connection. Then maybe you should be drawing
15:33
Speaker 1: that connection because apparently the hot showers are the only
15:36
Speaker 1: thing that relieves the symptoms. Get out of the hot shower,
15:39
Speaker 1: the symptoms come back. It says some people are in
15:42
Speaker 1: the shower or even a hot bath for hours every day.
15:47
Speaker 1: Accord to one of the doctors, that's something that can
15:50
Speaker 1: clinch the diagnosis for me when someone says they're better
15:53
Speaker 1: with the hot shower. This doctor, patients describe going through
15:57
Speaker 1: all the hot water in their house. So let me
16:00
Speaker 1: just interject a free spot for plumb type plumbing. Tankless
16:03
Speaker 1: water heater would solve the problem. So if you're struggling
16:06
Speaker 1: with scrammating and you find yourself running out of water
16:09
Speaker 1: while you're still experiencing the pain and agony, a tankless
16:12
Speaker 1: water system may be in your future. So they say,
16:18
Speaker 1: addiction often makes abstinence a major challenge because the key
16:21
Speaker 1: to stopping scrammating. Once it starts, you never know what
16:25
Speaker 1: it's going to hit. Strikes intermittently and even the tiniest
16:29
Speaker 1: little bit of weed smoking can trigger it. So you
16:34
Speaker 1: gotta quit or you're going to be continuing struggling with
16:38
Speaker 1: this peril for I guess as long as you decide
16:40
Speaker 1: that it's a okay to smoke weed, so you've got
16:43
Speaker 1: insufficient evidence for health claims from the medical marijuana community.
16:47
Speaker 1: And finally you have the whole huge problem apparently of scrammating,
16:50
Speaker 1: which effects of a fairly sizable chunk of the weed
16:54
Speaker 1: smokers out there. This has been your day, first day
16:57
Speaker 1: of December. Plague update. Thank you, Joe Strecker. Appreciate that
17:01
Speaker 1: it's five twenty six right now. Local stories or phone calls.
17:04
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the phone calls, but I'll go either way.
17:06
Speaker 1: Got some local stories talk about as well. Be right back.
17:09
Speaker 3: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station No.
17:13
Speaker 1: On on Monday five one, three seventy four nine fifty
17:16
Speaker 1: five eight hundred eight two three Tako with to five
17:19
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Thank God for Tom, Tom.
17:21
Speaker 1: I missed you over the break there welcome back to
17:23
Speaker 1: the fifty five Careisday Morning Show. Thank you and for
17:26
Speaker 1: saving me from the obligation to find some topic to
17:28
Speaker 1: talk about.
17:30
Speaker 4: God, God forbid, you got to come up with something
17:33
Speaker 4: to talk about.
17:34
Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by stuff to talk about. Tom, It's just
17:36
Speaker 1: my brain is not in a picking pick an item
17:40
Speaker 1: to talk about mood. I'd rather just, like, you know what,
17:43
Speaker 1: what if the listeners want to talk about what's on
17:45
Speaker 1: their mind. So anyway, that's how I ended up talking
17:47
Speaker 1: about bombing Venezuela to start with. You know, dealer's choice.
17:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you had a pretty good time off
17:55
Speaker 4: several days.
17:55
Speaker 1: There, right, it was wonderful. Yeah, it really will. Except
17:58
Speaker 1: I got to tell you this is the weirdest thing.
18:00

20:35
Speaker 4: like taking drugs. You do it because you think it's
20:37
Speaker 4: gonna make you feel good, and maybe for a little
20:39
Speaker 4: bit it does make you feel good, but it causes
20:41
Speaker 4: so many problems, whether it's health wise or legal problems
20:46
Speaker 4: or whatever, and you know it's it's really not worth it.
20:50
Speaker 4: Just like taking drugs, it just doesn't seem to be

Speaker 4: worth it. You're you know, you're you're putting these things
20:55
Speaker 4: in your body that that are gonna do more harm

Speaker 4: than good. And and that temporary feeling of you for
21:00
Speaker 4: or whatever you get, whatever rush you get from taking

Speaker 4: Right?
23:07
Speaker 2: So when this is when I was naive, I not
23:11
Speaker 2: naive anymore. So I moved to Chicago to work and play.
23:14
Speaker 2: And I got my first gig and I was in
23:16
Speaker 2: a hurry. It was kind of running late, and my
23:19
Speaker 2: girlfriend said, well, don't ever ride in the purple cabs.
23:22
Speaker 2: They're bad news. Well, anyway, I was late, so I
23:25
Speaker 2: jumped into purple cab. It was this somemullion drug addict.
23:31
Speaker 2: I got in there. This is a true story. I
23:34
Speaker 2: got in that cab. I was in that cab and
23:37
Speaker 2: it was literally like being in it like the filthiest
23:41
Speaker 2: kitchen you could The guy was living in the car.
23:44
Speaker 2: It was filthy. I said, can you please turn down
23:46
Speaker 2: the music? He screamed at me like in some foreign language,
23:51
Speaker 2: you know, And I said, all right, I just got
23:52
Speaker 2: to focus on what I'm doing. So anyway, he pulls
23:55
Speaker 2: up in front of the El Gato on Katzi. So
23:58
Speaker 2: I just throw the money on the seat to get out, well,
24:01
Speaker 2: the guys said. And when I did that, I looked
24:03
Speaker 2: over the seat and I saw a crack pipe on
24:06
Speaker 2: the seat, just laying there. And I said, well that
24:08
Speaker 2: explains everything. Oh it just gets better.
24:11
Speaker 1: So well at a time, go ahead.
24:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, quickly I got out the car. The guy
24:19
Speaker 2: said I didn't pay me, and he grabbed me. He
24:22
Speaker 2: put my hand and I knocked him out cold knocked
24:24
Speaker 2: him out, defending myself a cold quickly. So I go
24:28
Speaker 2: in the bar. She says, look, uh you you uh
24:33
Speaker 2: their police will arrest you. I said, I didn't do anything.
24:36
Speaker 2: I defended myself anyway. I was trying to be good.
24:38
Speaker 2: So they did arrest me for assault. I went to court.
24:41
Speaker 2: I said I want a jury trial, and I had
24:44
Speaker 2: a great lawyer, and the lawyer said, what's a public defender,
24:48
Speaker 2: by the way, and the lawyer said, yeah, we should
24:50
Speaker 2: have a jury trial. He didn't do anything, and so
24:52
Speaker 2: we had to wait all afternoon and the guy the judge, said,
24:55
Speaker 2: we're going to have to wait here to the cab
24:57
Speaker 2: driver till like four point thirty three thirty and he
25:00
Speaker 2: starts cussing out the judge because he had to set
25:05
Speaker 2: there and wait, and the judge said, I'm just missing everything,
25:09
Speaker 2: and if I was, I would have done the same
25:11
Speaker 2: thing that John did. Get out of my courtroom. But
25:14
Speaker 2: the point of this story is everybody can make a
25:17
Speaker 2: difference if they have the courage and the guts to
25:20
Speaker 2: stand up for their civil liberties. And we don't have
25:22
Speaker 2: to take crap off all these people. And the sense
25:26
Speaker 2: of entitlement that that guy had will ring with me
25:30
Speaker 2: for the rest of his life. And in closing, I'd
25:32
Speaker 2: like to say if he grabbed me now, he would
25:35
Speaker 2: be probably leaving in a body bag.
25:38
Speaker 1: Have a good day, all right. Just make sure your
25:42
Speaker 1: your actions are justifiable under the law. The for CD

Speaker 7: And that is why I believe all of a sudden,
35:03
Speaker 7: Trump is really interested in in forcing Ukraine into peace.
35:10
Speaker 7: It is trying to break that Chinese hold with Russia.
35:14
Speaker 7: It's never going to go away, but at the same point,
35:17
Speaker 7: it at least tries to get our foot back in
35:20
Speaker 7: the door with somebody who might have some interest in
35:25
Speaker 7: pushing back against China. I don't think the news media
35:29
Speaker 7: as a whole is covering how dangerous the world is
35:32
Speaker 7: right now, because if we blink in Venezuela, that gives
35:36
Speaker 7: China a ton of power in Central America and in South.
35:41
Speaker 6: America with Maduro.
35:43
Speaker 7: If we blink in Asia, who knows what is going
35:48
Speaker 7: to happen with the Philippines, in China and Japan. And
35:52
Speaker 7: we need to be paying attention to it.
35:54
Speaker 8: And I know you have a.
35:56
Speaker 7: Advertiser who sells gold, but right now is a great
35:59
Speaker 7: time to be buying gold with everything going on in
36:02
Speaker 7: the world.
36:03
Speaker 1: Well, that's fine, And you know, I reflect on gold,
36:05
Speaker 1: and I know people look at it as a safe,
36:07
Speaker 1: you know, harbor when you know markets get volatile. I
36:11
Speaker 1: just have always viewed gold as something well, you know,
36:13
Speaker 1: I understand the idea of having physical gold. It always
36:15
Speaker 1: has some sort of value. But I view it in
36:18
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, with fiat currency collapse, what the
36:20
Speaker 1: hell you're going to do with it? In terms of
36:22
Speaker 1: an investment vehicle, while we still have a viable fiat currency,
36:26
Speaker 1: it may make great sense, but no investment advisor am I.
36:28
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean accurately some up the global problems
36:31
Speaker 1: we have. I know China's been making interested in making
36:36
Speaker 1: inroads into South America for a long long time. Maybe
36:38
Speaker 1: Venezuela is the key to that or not, but certainly
36:42
Speaker 1: for decades now that China has made territorial claims to
36:45
Speaker 1: the South China Sea, it's been building its own islands
36:49
Speaker 1: i e. Military bases there for a long long time
36:52
Speaker 1: with no response from any administration. I don't know that
36:56
Speaker 1: we have any territorial or we don't have any defense obligations.
36:59
Speaker 1: I think we do with you. So if wars launched
37:02
Speaker 1: against Japan, then fine, we might have an obligation to
37:05
Speaker 1: respond militarily. Not that that would be a pretty picture
37:08
Speaker 1: because wouldn't that mean World War three CJ.
37:12
Speaker 7: Well, absolutely, and we do have bases in both the
37:14
Speaker 7: Philippines in Japan. Sure, we do, and that immediately puts
37:19
Speaker 7: Our troops.
37:20
Speaker 6: We have military bases in Okinawa, we have a keep
37:23
Speaker 6: marine base and so yeah, and that truly puts US
37:28
Speaker 6: in the middle of it. And we have.
37:31
Speaker 7: Pred obligations to both the Philippines, which at one point
37:34
Speaker 7: we controlled, and Japan for the protection. The World War
37:38
Speaker 7: two treaty is all about protection of Japan that they
37:41
Speaker 7: would have no military except for ours and our protection,
37:45
Speaker 7: and it is I think with everything going on over
37:50
Speaker 7: in Asia, we are not putting enough visibility on the
37:54
Speaker 7: dangers that is going on in Japan and China right now.
37:57
Speaker 1: But what I mean if CJ you were the military commander,
38:00
Speaker 1: or you're the commander and she or what would you
38:01
Speaker 1: do to deal with the obvious problems we got unfolding
38:04
Speaker 1: in the South China Sea, Philippines. You know, obviously Taiwan's
38:08
Speaker 1: an issue. We don't have a defense obligation with Taiwan,
38:10
Speaker 1: and Trump seems to be taking a little bit more
38:13
Speaker 1: hands off is approach visa the Taiwan. I think because
38:16
Speaker 1: of the complications associated with it. I don't know, Yeah,
38:20
Speaker 1: are we gonna send carrier groups over there? I mean,
38:22
Speaker 1: I know we've got some military presence. Of course, you
38:25
Speaker 1: can ask cribbage Mike about the submarine presence there. Of course,
38:28
Speaker 1: we have subs all over the place. But what do
38:30
Speaker 1: you do.
38:33
Speaker 6: Well, we don't do.
38:34
Speaker 7: The question is do we even have the navy to
38:37
Speaker 7: be able to do anything anymore because we have cut
38:40
Speaker 7: back to maybe so much. We just canceled three or
38:43
Speaker 7: four ships that I believe Trump in the first administration
38:47
Speaker 7: put on contracts on, but we were unable to even
38:50
Speaker 7: complete a number of those ships, so they canceled three more.
38:55
Speaker 7: We like we have a serious defense problem. Yes, China has.
38:59
Speaker 7: There is population problem is they are starting to shrink.
39:05
Speaker 7: But that does not make the world a less dangerous place.
39:08
Speaker 7: It probably makes the world a more dangerous place because
39:12
Speaker 7: you have China and eating people in order to keep
39:16
Speaker 7: their economy going. And if they're going to start talking
39:19
Speaker 7: about some of these things, at what point do you
39:22
Speaker 7: put F sixteens or F thirty five's up over the
39:25
Speaker 7: Philippines to say, hey, you're not allowed to fly in
39:28
Speaker 7: here anymore. This is the Philippine airspace. We are invited here,
39:31
Speaker 7: you are not.
39:32
Speaker 6: And the same thing is through with Japan.
39:34
Speaker 7: And then that's where the game of chicking ractors up another.
39:37
Speaker 1: Level and maybe hit the nail on the head of
39:39
Speaker 1: why we don't do that. I mean, we're telling Venezuela
39:42
Speaker 1: that their military or their airspace has been shut down.
39:44
Speaker 1: We're threatening them with bombs on the ground, isn't it?
39:48
Speaker 1: Because maybe Venezuela is an easy target. Their military is
39:52
Speaker 1: really built on ancient Russian and US equipment. I've read
39:57
Speaker 1: that it's really really never been maintained, so they really
40:00
Speaker 1: have not much of a military to speak of. They're
40:03
Speaker 1: an easy target to pick on. Not so with the Chinese.
40:07
Speaker 1: We start doing a flyovers and Philippines and flyovers in
40:11
Speaker 1: Taiwan or flyers in the general area, doesn't that invite
40:14
Speaker 1: a potential conflict with China? Arago the World War III
40:18
Speaker 1: threat that we are concerned about. It's a military power
40:21
Speaker 1: that's got nuclear weapons. That's a that's a horse of
40:23
Speaker 1: a different color when it comes to you know, as
40:25
Speaker 1: searching our strength and our military might.
40:29
Speaker 7: Absolutely and there and to your point about Venezuela, another
40:33
Speaker 7: big important factor with Venezuela is what what is the
40:37
Speaker 7: number one thing everybody's looking for? Are these rare earth minerals.
40:41
Speaker 7: Venezuela does have a lot but they are still number
40:43
Speaker 7: two or number three in the world with oil, and
40:47
Speaker 7: it is we are not that far removed from Venezuela
40:49
Speaker 7: being the richest country in the Western Hemisphere and not
40:52
Speaker 7: the US. I think it was up until about the
40:54
Speaker 7: mid sixties that the average Venezuelan was far richer than
40:57
Speaker 7: the average American.
40:59
Speaker 6: Because of all the oil that they had. And if
41:01
Speaker 6: you take away that oil from.
41:03
Speaker 7: China, maybe that helps cool down some of this stuff
41:07
Speaker 7: in Asia. And you know, and that is where we
41:11
Speaker 7: are at a point in Venezuela that I don't think
41:14
Speaker 7: we can back down. I think we have crossed a
41:16
Speaker 7: red line because if we back down, it gives China
41:18
Speaker 7: more power, and it gives Maduro more power, and what
41:21
Speaker 7: does that do to the stability of South America. I
41:25
Speaker 7: would not be surprised if Maduro isn't given a free
41:29
Speaker 7: access to go elsewhere, that we don't go in there
41:33
Speaker 7: and do what we did with Noriega and force him out.
41:37
Speaker 1: That all sounds like possibilities, It all sounds like plausible
41:42
Speaker 1: maybe quote unquote solutions to a broader problem. But see,
41:45
Speaker 1: I'll go back to the Okay, if everything you say
41:48
Speaker 1: is true, and it's very accurate. I'm not disagreeing with
41:51
Speaker 1: your assessment of global affairs, but if that as well
41:55
Speaker 1: is the key, and this is a lynchpin for our
41:57
Speaker 1: achieving some sort of power instability in South amaera America,
42:00
Speaker 1: we obviously have a drug problem. Does it not require
42:03
Speaker 1: some congressional authority? Does can Trump unilaterally do everything? Yeah?
42:08
Speaker 1: I know. See there's the challenge and we live in
42:11
Speaker 1: such a screwed up country right now in so far
42:14
Speaker 1: as if Trump wants to do literally anything, and if
42:17
Speaker 1: you wanted to feed starving children, the Democrats are come
42:20
Speaker 1: out against it because well, evil Orange man, there's never
42:23
Speaker 1: a consensus about effective moving forward strategies. Okay, it's all accurate.
42:29
Speaker 1: Listen to what CJ said. We all agree that this
42:31
Speaker 1: is the problem we're facing. These are the existential threats
42:33
Speaker 1: posed by China and others. But what do we do
42:36
Speaker 1: about it? Well, we need some sort of authorization to
42:38
Speaker 1: deal with Venezuela. Do you think you can get it
42:40
Speaker 1: in this divided Congress? Do you think they'll even pass
42:43
Speaker 1: some sort of authorization for you some military force, because
42:46
Speaker 1: it's going to give Trump what he wants. I don't
42:49
Speaker 1: I think they're willing to put United States security, long
42:52
Speaker 1: term security in total jeopardy just simply because they seem
42:55
Speaker 1: to be suffering collectively from Trump to arrangement syndrome. They're
42:58
Speaker 1: not looking out for our interest. They're looking out for
43:01
Speaker 1: political division to score the next points as we approach
43:03
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six elections, which is on everybody's mind
43:06
Speaker 1: right now.
43:07
Speaker 7: It's crazy, absolutely and even you know, and I don't want.
43:14
Speaker 2: To get too much into another rabbit hole, but you could.
43:16
Speaker 7: Just see that this weekend with all the news out
43:19
Speaker 7: of Minnesota.
43:19
Speaker 6: Somalia, nobody wants to cover that.
43:22
Speaker 7: It's billions of dollars going to.
43:24
Speaker 1: Somalia, exactly. Yeah, And that is insane. And that also
43:30
Speaker 1: is a good topic because one of the reasons nobody
43:32
Speaker 1: ever did anything about that is because everyone was apparently
43:35
Speaker 1: afraid of being accused of racism for wanting to out
43:40
Speaker 1: crack down on Somalian crime as if it's an attack
43:44
Speaker 1: on all of the Somalian people when you go after
43:46
Speaker 1: certain groups of Somalians who are builking the system and
43:49
Speaker 1: ripping off the American tax payers for literally everything. Yeah, uh,
43:53
Speaker 1: there's another factor you can add to the complications list.
43:57
Speaker 2: There.
43:57
Speaker 1: CJ. Appreciate your observations. Man, I think you summed it
44:00
Speaker 1: up quite nicely. It's a crazy world we live in,
44:03
Speaker 1: and sadly, our elected officials don't seem to want to
44:06
Speaker 1: play nicely together for our own collective benefit. Six sixteen
44:10
Speaker 1: Right now, maybe you got something else to say about that?
44:11
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine to fifty five hundred,
44:13
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight twenty three talk Feel free to
44:15
Speaker 1: call Chimneycare Fireplace and Stuff Talk station. It is six
44:20
Speaker 1: twenty one to fifty five Kerr City Talk Station. Appreciate
44:22
Speaker 1: CJ mentioning Tim Waltz in Minnesota and the problem within
44:25
Speaker 1: the Somali community. No, it is not an indictment of
44:28
Speaker 1: every Somali that exists. It's an indictment of the huge,
44:30
Speaker 1: massive fraud that generate that started within the Somali community.
44:36
Speaker 1: This is kind of troubling to me. Prosecutor say they
44:38
Speaker 1: siphon these these criminal elements within the broader Smali community.
44:43
Speaker 1: Maybe you got the full set, then you got a
44:44
Speaker 1: subset subsets what we're talking about here. That's an important
44:47
Speaker 1: thing to remember as we get into all the allegations
44:50
Speaker 1: that are being thrown around about racism. Apparently stole over
44:54
Speaker 1: one billion dollars from the state's social safety net programs
44:59
Speaker 1: by creating these fraud These entities that were engaged in
45:01
Speaker 1: fraud within the SMALI community of Minnesota. Individual established companies
45:05
Speaker 1: that build state agencies for services that weren't perform. I
45:09
Speaker 1: think they've had like seventy five people convicted so far
45:12
Speaker 1: of this convicted that's you know, guilt beyond a reevez
45:16
Speaker 1: will doubt or otherwise admitting to guilt. Federal prosecutors have
45:20
Speaker 1: emphasized the seriousness of the cases. Career federal prosecutor Attorney
45:25
Speaker 1: Joseph Thompson warning of the scale of the fraud threatens
45:28
Speaker 1: public confidence and stating the obvious that we need to
45:31
Speaker 1: keep our eye on in all federal programs. No one
45:35
Speaker 1: will support these programs if they continue to be riddled
45:38
Speaker 1: with fraud. We're losing our way of life in Minnesota
45:41
Speaker 1: in a very real way. Well it's not just Minnesota,
45:43
Speaker 1: it's literally every fraud program or every program. Remember the
45:46
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen money, that's where a lot of this started from.
45:49
Speaker 1: Give people the opportunity to dip their hand of the
45:51
Speaker 1: cookie jar. They're going to do it, whether they're entitled
45:54
Speaker 1: or not. This problem began in twenty twenty two. That's
45:58
Speaker 1: when it first emerged. Attorneys began executing fraud related to
46:01
Speaker 1: the pandemic era child Nutrition program, a one program Feeding
46:06
Speaker 1: our Future Minnesota nonprofit partner with dozens of local businesses
46:10
Speaker 1: to claim reimbursements for tens of thousands of non existent meals.
46:14
Speaker 1: What there's money spent on? Apparently luxury spending homes, vehicles,
46:18
Speaker 1: and international real estate investments. That's where your tax payer
46:21
Speaker 1: dollars went. Also funding terrorist organizations like Al Shabab. One
46:27
Speaker 1: providing the autism program. Asha Faran Hassan accused of facilitating
46:31
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars in fraud. Her attorney, a guy named
46:34
Speaker 1: Ryan Pagaya, said she started with good intentions but eventually
46:39
Speaker 1: engaged in falsifying invoices and intends to plead guilty, even
46:45
Speaker 1: saying no one was doing anything about the red flags.
46:47
Speaker 1: It was like someone was stealing money from the cookie
46:50
Speaker 1: jar and they kept refilling it. That's your oversight, or
46:54
Speaker 1: rather lack thereof. Now here's your here's your reason behind
47:02
Speaker 1: why nobody was going after him? Why did state officials hesitate?
47:06
Speaker 1: Why do they not intervene concerns over accusations of racism
47:11
Speaker 1: or political backlash. Oh, we can't go after them. We're
47:16
Speaker 1: going to be accused of being racist or anti Somali
47:18
Speaker 1: or some nonsense like that. A report by Minnesota's Office
47:22
Speaker 1: of Legislative Auditor found that threats of discrimination lawsuits ultimately
47:28
Speaker 1: influence regulatory decisions. Oh, the mere threat of a lawsuit.
47:32
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, We've got allegations of fraud. We've
47:34
Speaker 1: got illustrations of fraud. We can see it right here
47:36
Speaker 1: on paper. These people aren't getting meals. Yeah, but we
47:39
Speaker 1: don't want to be accused of discrimination to have to
47:41
Speaker 1: face a lawsuit. This including early warnings issue by that
47:46
Speaker 1: Feeding our Futures program I just mentioned, challenging claims from
47:51
Speaker 1: minority owned businesses would trigger litigation in public accusations cower
47:56
Speaker 1: behind the accusation, and so many people are guilty of this.
47:59
Speaker 1: Our elected official are. I don't want to be labeled
48:01
Speaker 1: to racist. Is there any proof that you are a racist?
48:05
Speaker 1: Anybody who cowers in the face of that allegation, I
48:08
Speaker 1: think maybe themselves actually are racist or something. If you're
48:13
Speaker 1: not a racist, then you're just trying to enforce the law.
48:15
Speaker 1: Why would you be worried about someone claiming your a racist.
48:17
Speaker 1: Those people are flinging allegations like that all over the
48:19
Speaker 1: place twenty four to seven. Just add it to the list.
48:23
Speaker 1: One former fraud investigator investigator at the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, CASEE. Meghan,
48:29
Speaker 1: said that pushed back contributed to reluctance among Democratic officials. Quote,
48:33
Speaker 1: there is a perception, notice the emphasis, that forcefully tackling
48:39
Speaker 1: this issue might cause political backlash among the Somali community.
48:43
Speaker 1: Here's the salient point, folks, She concludes with, which is
48:47
Speaker 1: a core voting block. Oh, we don't want to piss
48:52
Speaker 1: off the criminal element within the Somali community because they
48:55
Speaker 1: won't vote for us anymore. So we should ignore crime
48:58
Speaker 1: and allow it to perpetuate and resulting a billion dollars
49:01
Speaker 1: ripped off from the taxpayer because we want to keep
49:03
Speaker 1: the votes. Yes, that's how shallow your politicians are. That's
49:06
Speaker 1: how much they care about you and the taxpayer dollars
49:09
Speaker 1: they stole from your pocket. They got one illustration of
49:15
Speaker 1: courtroom misconduct. They claimed defendants attempted to bribe a juror
49:19
Speaker 1: with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in a note
49:22
Speaker 1: asking quote, why is it always people of color and
49:27
Speaker 1: immigrants prosecuted for the fault of other people? What other
49:31
Speaker 1: people are at fault? Oh, that's right, every other human
49:35
Speaker 1: being of any race, color, creed that ripped off any
49:37
Speaker 1: of the programs that they shouldn't have been taken money
49:39
Speaker 1: out of. And I've got a lot of illustrations of
49:41
Speaker 1: those programs. And criminals, white, black, yellow, Muslim, Christian, Jew,
49:50
Speaker 1: everybody of every race, affiliation, religious afiliate. Everybody on some
49:55
Speaker 1: level or at least a subset of every community that
49:59
Speaker 1: exists in the world is participated in fraud because we
50:01
Speaker 1: don't care about fraud or tracking it down. That attorney
50:06
Speaker 1: Thompson I mentioned before argue that heightened racial sensitivities after
50:09
Speaker 1: George Floyd's death back in twenty twenty affected oversight and enforcement,
50:14
Speaker 1: saying this was a huge part of the problem. Allegations
50:19
Speaker 1: of racism can be a reputation or career killer. Yeah,
50:23
Speaker 1: if you'll let it be, you succumb to the allegation
50:29
Speaker 1: and cower in front of it. Nothing gets done to
50:32
Speaker 1: solve the underlying problem, which is demonstrably and objectively criminal
50:38
Speaker 1: behavior which has no connection whatsoever to the race, ethnicity
50:43
Speaker 1: of the person committing a crime, get a spine six
50:48
Speaker 1: twenty eight fifty five car see the talk station, Foreign

Speaker 1: Listener Lunch. Enjoy the fellowship. I really truly hope I
51:23
Speaker 1: can see you there. We can look at the new
51:24
Speaker 1: speed bumps outside of Price Hill Chili, and I will
51:28
Speaker 1: drive on Sunset newly repaved. Yeah, it's gonna be a
51:31
Speaker 1: great experience. Over to the Local Stories. Village in Hamilton
51:34
Speaker 1: County weighing its options. Apparently a computer system got hacked
51:38
Speaker 1: for ransom. The village of golf men Or Manor subject
51:41
Speaker 1: to a ransomware attack resulting in the loss of its
51:43
Speaker 1: computer files, including Dave Hatter all of their backups. November
51:51
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, Village Council meant to discuss Resolution twenty twenty
51:54
Speaker 1: five days thirty, which proposes to pay for the guidance
51:56
Speaker 1: of a third party group of experts to help. Maybe
51:59
Speaker 1: Interest dot Com interjected that resolution says experts may advise
52:04
Speaker 1: the village to make ransom payment in exchange for the
52:07
Speaker 1: decryption key for the village computer networks and backup data.
52:11
Speaker 1: Court to one council member thanks to Fox nineteen, Mary
52:14
Speaker 1: Labus reporting, the village is not a stage where we
52:17
Speaker 1: have any interest whatsoever in paying this ransom. However, the
52:21
Speaker 1: legal council that was assigned to us by our insurance
52:23
Speaker 1: company did recommend that we passed this. Apparently a few
52:27
Speaker 1: unknown answers to the situations, such as what the hackers
52:29
Speaker 1: want and how much it's going to cost the village.
52:32
Speaker 1: Not the first time Ohio had to deal with some
52:34
Speaker 1: one of these things. Cyber attack in exchange for ransom.
52:37
Speaker 1: Not clear how the cyber attack impacts Golf Manor Residents
52:40
Speaker 1: and Services Council is going to meet again in December
52:44
Speaker 1: at some time to discuss whether they want to pass
52:45
Speaker 1: the resolution again, one that would require them to pay
52:50
Speaker 1: one person taking to the hospital After a shooting that
52:52
Speaker 1: happened in Avondale Saturday morning, court is Sergeant Anthony Mitchell
52:56
Speaker 1: with Cincinna Police Department. Officers called the eight hundred blockablltl
53:00
Speaker 1: l Air Avenue at ten fifteen in the morning. Once
53:02
Speaker 1: they got there, they found a victim of a gunshot wound,
53:04
Speaker 1: Corners Sergeant Mitchell. The victim was taken to the hospital
53:06
Speaker 1: with non life threatening injuries and is in stable condition.
53:10
Speaker 1: Not sure what led to the shooting. Police haven't stated
53:12
Speaker 1: if they have a suspect, but if you have any information,
53:15
Speaker 1: I imagine crime Stoppers number to call three five two
53:18
Speaker 1: thirty forty five one three three five two thirty forty
53:21
Speaker 1: oh Joe Strecker is still in a roll keeping his
53:24
Speaker 1: UH post election tally in what neighborhoods voted for whom
53:28
Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati Council race Corner Shtrecker village of Avondale
53:34
Speaker 1: voted eighty five percent for a have to have pervoll
53:37
Speaker 1: and the current council.
53:38
Speaker 3: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
53:42
Speaker 1: You can draw your own conclusions on that one six
53:44
Speaker 1: thirty five. Thank you for keeping that article, Joe, and
53:49
Speaker 1: as Christopher Smith and may very well tell you at
53:51
Speaker 1: seven twenty today, elections have consequences. Station Happy Monday five three,
53:58
Speaker 1: seven fifty five D eight hundred eight two to three
54:00
Speaker 1: talk or pound five fifty on at and TCU. Yeah, further,
54:03
Speaker 1: did this sort of Minnesota Somali community problem? Yeah, and
54:06
Speaker 1: there are a lot, there's a lot of crime going on,
54:08
Speaker 1: and the crime is pervasive, and you know, we always
54:13
Speaker 1: talk about the cultural impact of individuals from the four
54:19
Speaker 1: corners of the globe ending up in the United States
54:21
Speaker 1: of America with no connection to our rules, our societal norms,
54:24
Speaker 1: no understanding of our constitution, and coming from extraordinarily corrupt
54:29
Speaker 1: countries where crime of the type that's been revealed among
54:34
Speaker 1: and within the Somali community of Minnesota but elsewhere is
54:39
Speaker 1: kind of the norm. And I thought it was rather
54:41
Speaker 1: interesting because one there was a Somali American professor, so
54:44
Speaker 1: he's within the broader collective of Somali community, all right,
54:48
Speaker 1: is Ahmed Samatar. He's a professor at McAllister College, and
54:54
Speaker 1: he was quoted. I believe it was by the New
54:55
Speaker 1: York Times, of all of all places. He pointed out
54:58
Speaker 1: that Somali refugees who came to the United States after
55:01
Speaker 1: their country's civil war were raised in a culture in
55:04
Speaker 1: which stealing from the country's dysfunctional and corrupt government was widespread,
55:11
Speaker 1: and he says Minnesota provides a proved susceptible to rampant
55:15
Speaker 1: fraud because it is, in his words, so tolerant, so open,
55:20
Speaker 1: and so geared toward keeping an eye on the weak.
55:26
Speaker 1: Now couple this with the whole vetting concept, and I'm
55:28
Speaker 1: not sure what percentage of the eighty thousand Somalians in
55:32
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Somali community alone are illegally in our country
55:37
Speaker 1: or are legally in our country. But this is a
55:40
Speaker 1: cultural I guess normal least according to the professor, it's
55:44
Speaker 1: just ripping off the government when you have a corrupt government,
55:46
Speaker 1: and maybe you feel it's the right thing to do.
55:48
Speaker 1: Oh they're not serving me, well, I'll just go ahead
55:50
Speaker 1: and take my slice. And couple that with this blame
55:53
Speaker 1: game going on. I knew Donald Trump referred to Governor
55:55
Speaker 1: Waltz as retarded, which really I thought it was kind
55:59
Speaker 1: of fun because in the context of calling someone that
56:03
Speaker 1: word when they are obviously not truly cognitively impaired, he's
56:09
Speaker 1: not casting aspersions on someone who it was out of
56:12
Speaker 1: their hands. He's commenting on something that was demonstrably stupid
56:15
Speaker 1: in the face of what probably should have been done,
56:17
Speaker 1: which is maybe pay attention to the four hundred employees
56:21
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Department of Health of Human Services, which
56:24
Speaker 1: well brought to Governor Tim Waltzs's attention that there was
56:27
Speaker 1: all kinds of fraud going on, issuing warnings relating to
56:30
Speaker 1: and apparently he was retaliating against whistleblowers who actually had
56:34
Speaker 1: the audacity to mention that crime was occurring. Minnesota Department
56:39
Speaker 1: of Human Services employees account. It's an ex account which
56:44
Speaker 1: they say consists of more than four hundred and eighty
56:47
Speaker 1: current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, claiming Waltz is
56:51
Speaker 1: one hundred percent responsible for the massive fraud of Minnesota.
56:54
Speaker 1: Here's what they had to say. We let Tim Waltz
56:58
Speaker 1: know a fraud early on, hoping for a partnership and
57:01
Speaker 1: stopping fraud, but no, we got the opposite response. Tim
57:06
Speaker 1: Walls systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring threats, repression, and
57:13
Speaker 1: did his best to discredit fraud reports. In addition to
57:17
Speaker 1: retaliate against whistleblowers, Tim Walltz disempowered the Office of the
57:21
Speaker 1: Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and
57:26
Speaker 1: guidance audit findings that apparently revealed the level of fraud
57:29
Speaker 1: that was going on among these various programs ongoing problems.
57:37
Speaker 1: Walts addressed the fraud at a press conference last week,
57:39
Speaker 1: saying it undermines trust in the government and undermines programs
57:42
Speaker 1: that are absolutely critical and improving quality of life. Yeah,
57:45
Speaker 1: that goes back to the quote from earlier. If you
57:48
Speaker 1: don't have faith in these programs, you're not going to
57:50
Speaker 1: be supporting the programs. Programs that might very well help
57:53
Speaker 1: some people, but only if they are, you know, run
57:58
Speaker 1: with an eye toward preventing fraud at the outset. I've
58:02
Speaker 1: made this parallel before. We hear from it every single
58:04
Speaker 1: week Tech Friday's Dave Hatter Internet of things devices never
58:09
Speaker 1: start with security. They always start with the dangly shining
58:12
Speaker 1: object that they think the world once they roll it out,
58:15
Speaker 1: without even considering the idea that it's going to be
58:17
Speaker 1: haven for hackers to crack into your home Wi Fi system.
58:20
Speaker 1: They don't care about it. We need to pass COVID relief.
58:24
Speaker 1: We need to throw a trillion dollars at COVID relief
58:28
Speaker 1: with not an ounce of protection built into the outset
58:31
Speaker 1: which would stop fraud at the beginning. So that requires
58:37
Speaker 1: individuals within the programs to raise it to the attention
58:40
Speaker 1: of the officials and bring the fraud of their attention.
58:42
Speaker 1: But it requires a willing administration to say, you know what,
58:45
Speaker 1: go for it instead. Apparently, according to at least the
58:49
Speaker 1: four hundred employees in the Minnesota Department of Human Services,
58:52
Speaker 1: he basically gave him the metaphorical middle finger and threatened them. Now,
59:00
Speaker 1: the big question is why do these eighty thousand members
59:06
Speaker 1: of the small community. Are they collectively going to reject
59:08
Speaker 1: Tim Walls for going after fraud? Do you want a
59:14
Speaker 1: vote from someone who is giving you a vote because
59:19
Speaker 1: you allow for this fraud to run rampant? If you're
59:22
Speaker 1: a taxpayer voter, I would like to think that no,
59:25
Speaker 1: you would want to stop the fraud because your money,
59:27
Speaker 1: your labor, your effort is being taken from you and
59:30
Speaker 1: funding this fraud ridden program. This frightening stuff going on,
59:37
Speaker 1: and then, notably, it even gets even worse when you
59:39
Speaker 1: realize a lot of these fraud dollars not only went
59:41
Speaker 1: to real estate, luxury items, ripping off, taking food out
59:44
Speaker 1: of the mouths of needy children, and well, much like
59:47
Speaker 1: the original creators of Black Lives Matter going out and
59:51
Speaker 1: buying five million dollar mansions with your corporate pressure donation.
1:00:01
Speaker 1: I the system apparently is broken. Jay's on the phone.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: You're gonna have held on one minute.
1:00:09
Speaker 2: Jay.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: You know I love hearing from you, but I got
1:00:11
Speaker 1: to take a break at six forty six in fifty
1:00:13
Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station and a recommend six fifty five
1:00:18
Speaker 1: car CD talk station. Yeah, very happy Monday to you.
1:00:22
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:00:22
Speaker 1: The word is scromining. It's the cannabis hypermesis syndrome. I
1:00:26
Speaker 1: was joking around the plumb Ti Club plumbing tankless water
1:00:30
Speaker 1: heater commercial. But there's now a code for that that
1:00:34
Speaker 1: doctors will be placing on your medical record if they
1:00:36
Speaker 1: determine that you have a cannabis hypermesis syndrome. That way,
1:00:40
Speaker 1: when you end up in the hospital again because of
1:00:42
Speaker 1: the wrenching abdominal pain, they'll be able to know that, well,
1:00:45
Speaker 1: it's because you're smoking weed and stop it. The only
1:00:50
Speaker 1: cure for it, at least as of right now. So
1:00:52
Speaker 1: with that further ado, Jay, thanks for calling this morning,
1:00:54
Speaker 1: and a happy Monday to you.
1:00:56
Speaker 9: Hey, Happy Monday. Brian calling in from the People's Republic
1:01:02
Speaker 9: of New York listening on the iHeart media app streaming
1:01:06
Speaker 9: and you're coming in loud and Claire is it's son
1:01:09
Speaker 9: the iHeart App.
1:01:10
Speaker 1: Thanks man, I sure appreciate you tuning in on the
1:01:12
Speaker 1: iHeart App.
1:01:13
Speaker 3: Jay.
1:01:13
Speaker 1: It's very nice of you. And I've never gotten over
1:01:15
Speaker 1: the reality that people from all over the country can
1:01:18
Speaker 1: call in and can listen to the show. It just
1:01:20
Speaker 1: tickles me to death.
1:01:21
Speaker 5: Man.
1:01:22
Speaker 9: Oh not only that, but I tell the listeners that
1:01:24
Speaker 9: they probably already know this. But for those who don't,
1:01:26
Speaker 9: you miss the Brian Thomas Show, you can listen to
1:01:29
Speaker 9: it anytime of any day, Saturday, Sunday. It's fantastic. So
1:01:35
Speaker 9: I stay informed by listening to you.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: Thanks Jay.
1:01:38
Speaker 9: Hey one or two, build on your good reporting on
1:01:43
Speaker 9: what's going on with the Somali community up in Minnesota.
1:01:46
Speaker 9: Maybe broaden the topic a little bit. Just the amount
1:01:49
Speaker 9: of waste, broad and abuse going on up there. We
1:01:53
Speaker 9: have still in Ohio, we have no reason to believe
1:01:57
Speaker 9: that we're not last place in fifty states, worse than
1:02:01
Speaker 9: the nation, and because nobody has produced the data to
1:02:05
Speaker 9: say otherwise. The last report we've got thanks to I
1:02:08
Speaker 9: think it was either Judicial Watch or Americans for Prosperity.
1:02:11
Speaker 9: I learned about it by listening to your program. This
1:02:13
Speaker 9: was Brice had to be four five years ago. Somebody
1:02:18
Speaker 9: did a Foyer request one of those good organizations and
1:02:22
Speaker 9: c MMS, which is the organization the Federal head of
1:02:26
Speaker 9: Medicaid and medicare as a mandatory annual report that they produced.
1:02:31
Speaker 9: The show's the amount of fraud by state, and Ohio
1:02:34
Speaker 9: was worst. Now we've not heard a peep from our
1:02:38
Speaker 9: elected representatives in this glorious red state of ours. I
1:02:42
Speaker 9: would expect this sort of thing to go on in
1:02:44
Speaker 9: a blue state. Doesn't really shock me, And as time
1:02:48
Speaker 9: goes on, I'm really not surprised to see it going
1:02:50
Speaker 9: on in a purple state like Ohio. But I would
1:02:53
Speaker 9: love for somebody. We've got this this star chamber called
1:02:57
Speaker 9: the Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee, and Jennifer Gross is probably
1:03:02
Speaker 9: the best member on there to come forward and give
1:03:05
Speaker 9: us an update of where are we can somebody please
1:03:09
Speaker 9: get the facts in the data from the mandatory report
1:03:12
Speaker 9: that Obama said, don't worry about producing. That wasn't his call.
1:03:16
Speaker 9: By law, they have to produce it.
1:03:18
Speaker 8: But it seems like.
1:03:19
Speaker 9: Nobody really cares that that's not being sent out and
1:03:21
Speaker 9: that daylight's not being shined on the amount of medicaid
1:03:24
Speaker 9: fraud by waste. You cannot find it. I can't find it.
1:03:28
Speaker 9: So would somebody please step up. Jennifer Gross, if you're listening,
1:03:33
Speaker 9: could you give us an update where does Ohio rank
1:03:36
Speaker 9: on Medicaid fraud?
1:03:38
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully now we'll be get getting some help from
1:03:40
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Realize the Biden administration was not willing
1:03:44
Speaker 1: to share the federal data they have on this, and
1:03:47
Speaker 1: apparently Hchase Health and Human Services Department has let federal
1:03:50
Speaker 1: investigators know that he's now trying to help eliminate dual enrollment.
1:03:55
Speaker 1: They found massive, massive dual enrollment, which is basically fraud,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: which and they're telling states start looking into eligibility. Here's
1:04:04
Speaker 1: the data, so cross checking against your information. They said
1:04:08
Speaker 1: the review of the summer. Over the summer, two point
1:04:10
Speaker 1: eight million people in twenty twenty four were either claiming
1:04:13
Speaker 1: Medicaid or Chip benefits in multiple states, or we're enrolled
1:04:18
Speaker 1: in both programs as well as Obamacare getting the tax credit,
1:04:22
Speaker 1: even though those tax payer funded benefits are supposed to
1:04:26
Speaker 1: be mutually exclusive. So the data has been rolled out,
1:04:29
Speaker 1: the states have been asked to use it. Some of
1:04:30
Speaker 1: them actually are, but then going back to your blue
1:04:33
Speaker 1: state commons, they're not really inclined to do that. So Jay,
1:04:36
Speaker 1: ask yourself why the Blue states aren't interested in ferreting
1:04:38
Speaker 1: out fraud, waste, and abuse of American tax payer dollars.
1:04:41
Speaker 1: I know you were talking about Medicaid fraud, but this
1:04:44
Speaker 1: is the same kind of thing. It's the lack of data.
1:04:47
Speaker 1: At least you could argue that up until now we
1:04:49
Speaker 1: didn't have the federal data to do a cross check.
1:04:51
Speaker 1: But now that we do, what's the excuse. There should
1:04:56
Speaker 1: be no excuse. Fraud harms every taxpayer. I don't care
1:05:04
Speaker 1: what political stripe you are. You can be a commie.
1:05:07
Speaker 1: If you're actually working for a living, then your money's
1:05:11
Speaker 1: being well used against you number one priority and that
1:05:18
Speaker 1: does not bear a political stripe. That is a pledge
1:05:22
Speaker 1: to people of all political stripes. I will not allow
1:05:25
Speaker 1: it on my watch. I wish we had more politicians
1:05:29
Speaker 1: or rule and make that pronounced of a statement. No
1:05:32
Speaker 1: fraud on my watch. I'm gonna do everything I can
1:05:34
Speaker 1: within my power, under any given committee or a program
1:05:38
Speaker 1: over which I have oversight to stop it from happening.
1:05:40
Speaker 1: Where's the data? Where's the reports? How Come there's been
1:05:43
Speaker 1: no follow up? How come we're not unilaterally engaging in
1:05:45
Speaker 1: efforts to eradicate fraud, waste and abuse here in our state.
1:05:49
Speaker 1: It's a damn good question. Six fifty six fifty five
1:05:52
Speaker 1: k c DE talk station. Feel free to chime in.

Speaker 1: from the Cincinnati Type in Print Museum, which is really

Speaker 1: cool place, and again a lot of career opportunities in
1:07:02
Speaker 1: the print business that I was not aware of till
1:07:04
Speaker 1: I first talked to Gary and learned a lot about it.
1:07:07
Speaker 1: We've had him on the program a couple of times.
1:07:10
Speaker 1: So we're talking about an exhibit they've got going on
1:07:12

Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two three taco with pound five
1:07:24
Speaker 1: fifty on at and t pundess. So moving away from
1:07:27
Speaker 1: fraud wasted abuse in every government program, most notably recently
1:07:30
Speaker 1: in Minnesota with the smaller community, I CJ brought up
1:07:35
Speaker 1: the existential threats we face our American military, and we
1:07:37
Speaker 1: have weapons depletion, everything that his brother wants weapons from
1:07:40
Speaker 1: the United States of America. We don't really have enough
1:07:43
Speaker 1: to wage our own war should become in a broader conflict,
1:07:45
Speaker 1: conflicts that may start involving Venezuela and dropping bombs on Venezuela.
1:07:50
Speaker 1: Got a problem with that. But we also have you know,
1:07:52
Speaker 1: South China Sea, as he brought up, Taiwan, Japan's being threatened.
1:07:56
Speaker 1: Now you can't overlook Russia, Ukraine, the problems in the
1:07:59
Speaker 1: Middle Eagut. I mean, we have challenges facing us all
1:08:01
Speaker 1: over the globe, but I worry more about the waging
1:08:05
Speaker 1: of war that is literally going on. Of course, we
1:08:08
Speaker 1: have the undermining of our psychology brought to you by
1:08:11
Speaker 1: social media. Our children are really struggling psychologically speaking, because
1:08:16
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they can't put down the damn devices.
1:08:19
Speaker 1: A lot of manipulation, a lot of propaganda flowing in
1:08:22
Speaker 1: over social media. We have the problems with hacking, clearly
1:08:25
Speaker 1: a huge problem. Even happened locally here in one of
1:08:29
Speaker 1: our local communities. Hacking shutting down systems, whether it's just
1:08:32
Speaker 1: criminal elements or nefarious actors like our foreign enemies getting
1:08:36
Speaker 1: involved in it. We know many illustrations of Chinese hacking
1:08:38
Speaker 1: operations breaking into our grid. We had the financial system
1:08:42
Speaker 1: shut down the other day, the futures markets shut down
1:08:45
Speaker 1: because of one facility overheating outside of Chicago. And take
1:08:51
Speaker 1: that to the next level. They had one building overheated
1:08:54
Speaker 1: and futures trading was shut down, And in essence, I'm
1:08:56
Speaker 1: boiling it down to its boiled down points. But that's
1:08:59
Speaker 1: effectively what happens out for ten hours, it couldn't do
1:09:02
Speaker 1: any trading. What would happen if that happened to your
1:09:05
Speaker 1: bank account or your four to oh one K accounts
1:09:07
Speaker 1: or anything else like that scary stuff. So there's all
1:09:10
Speaker 1: that kind of war waging going on. But then there
1:09:14
Speaker 1: is what I believe to be the intentional undermining of
1:09:16
Speaker 1: the American people generally in the form of dumbing down
1:09:20
Speaker 1: our students, ultimately rendering them wards of the state because
1:09:25
Speaker 1: we don't do a very good job of educating them.
1:09:27
Speaker 1: And I brought up this University of California, San Diego,
1:09:31
Speaker 1: which ranks six on US News and War Reports College ranking.
1:09:35
Speaker 1: It's great, it's in the top ten. No it's not.
1:09:39
Speaker 1: But there was an elaboration on it. By list of
1:09:40
Speaker 1: Finley from just yesterday, Roughly one in eight freshman lack
1:09:45
Speaker 1: rudimentary high school math skills geometry, algebra and algebra two
1:09:50
Speaker 1: one in eight, and she points out against were students
1:09:56
Speaker 1: who had been placed in remedial high school math class
1:09:59
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty three had a roughly fifth grade level ability.
1:10:04
Speaker 1: These are high school students, folks. Only thirty nine percent
1:10:07
Speaker 1: could correctly round the number three hundred and seventy four
1:10:11
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighteen to its nearest one hundred, described
1:10:15
Speaker 1: as a third grade skill.
1:10:16
Speaker 10: It is.
1:10:18
Speaker 1: So many incoming students were numerically illiterate. The university there
1:10:22
Speaker 1: added remedial classes for middle and elementary school math. They
1:10:28
Speaker 1: say remarkably, among students placed into that math course, the
1:10:31
Speaker 1: remedial ninety four percent. This is again in college. You're
1:10:37
Speaker 1: doing remedial middle and elementary school math in college, and
1:10:40
Speaker 1: you're paying college credit level prices for this. Ninety four
1:10:47
Speaker 1: percent of those students had completed an advanced math class
1:10:52
Speaker 1: AP math class in high school that would be considered
1:10:55
Speaker 1: pre calculus, calculus, or statistics, and received an average grade
1:10:59
Speaker 1: of ANUS in their math courses. Talk about great inflation.
1:11:02
Speaker 1: The kids can't even compute at an eighth grade level,
1:11:05
Speaker 1: and yet they're passing with a's in an advanced placement
1:11:08
Speaker 1: course that's supposed to be calculus. Trust me, if you
1:11:11
Speaker 1: can't do algebra, you're not gonna be doing calculus. So
1:11:16
Speaker 1: she asked, you know, is this an indictment of the
1:11:17
Speaker 1: University of California's admissions B public K through twelve schools,
1:11:22
Speaker 1: c US News World Reports college rankings or D all
1:11:26
Speaker 1: of the above and if you had if you chose D,
1:11:28
Speaker 1: you're correct. Start with A. The admissions process. The Board
1:11:31
Speaker 1: of Regents at University of California did away with standardized
1:11:34
Speaker 1: tests as admission requirements under the guise of promoting equity. Apparently,
1:11:43
Speaker 1: some minority students scored lower on the SAT, so rather
1:11:46
Speaker 1: than try to elevate those scores, then they just got
1:11:50
Speaker 1: rid of it all together. I made a push to
1:11:53
Speaker 1: boost diversity and overall enrollment and ergo rake in more
1:11:57
Speaker 1: government and student a The UC San Diego admit an
1:12:00
Speaker 1: increased number of unqualified applicants from low income high schools.
1:12:04
Speaker 1: In order to holistically admit a diverse and representative class,
1:12:09
Speaker 1: we need to admit students who may be at a
1:12:11
Speaker 1: higher risk of not succeeding. That's in the report. Huh,
1:12:17
Speaker 1: so we're going to set them up for failure just because,
1:12:22
Speaker 1: oh and parenthetically saddle them with hundreds of thousands of debt.
1:12:26
Speaker 1: That is, unless the American taxpayer is paying for it.
1:12:30
Speaker 1: She points out, this is a grave disservice to ill
1:12:33
Speaker 1: prepared students who take longer to complete degrees and accrue
1:12:36
Speaker 1: more debt or drop out. Few, if any students who
1:12:41
Speaker 1: take remedial maths successfully complete an engineering degree. The report
1:12:44
Speaker 1: knows like you couldn't absent through report's findings. If I
1:12:49
Speaker 1: said your college level student can't even pass eighth grade
1:12:53
Speaker 1: level math, will they ever be able to get an
1:12:56
Speaker 1: engineering degree? I think your immediate logical responsibility. Well, of
1:12:59
Speaker 1: course not right. That's what the reports shows. So thank
1:13:02
Speaker 1: you report for stating the obvious. They say, the University
1:13:06
Speaker 1: of Mission Place admissions place a heavy emphasis on GPA's,
1:13:13
Speaker 1: but of course that doesn't reflect student preparation because of
1:13:16
Speaker 1: great inflation. Some students may also cheat their way to
1:13:20
Speaker 1: high school grades because of smartphones, artificial intelligence, everything that
1:13:24
Speaker 1: makes it easier to cheat. And they say, at the
1:13:27
Speaker 1: same time, Advance Placement tests and no, that's not set
1:13:31
Speaker 1: and act those are the tests when you get out
1:13:33
Speaker 1: of an AP course are less dependable. Why because the
1:13:37
Speaker 1: college Board has made the exams easier to pass, to
1:13:42
Speaker 1: encourage more students to take Advanced Placement classes. Yeah, go
1:13:46
Speaker 1: ahead and get an AP calculus When you can't even
1:13:49
Speaker 1: calculate two plus two is four or AD fractions, she says,
1:13:53
Speaker 1: call it vanity grading. Mediocre students now graduate with top
1:13:57
Speaker 1: GPAs and AP scores, which make parents feel better about
1:14:00
Speaker 1: their kids' public schools and eases political pressure for education reform.
1:14:05
Speaker 1: Come on, they're all getting as they must be doing great.
1:14:08
Speaker 1: They're all smart. Now enter college Reality Question B. The
1:14:15
Speaker 1: answer to your question B the public Key through twelve
1:14:19
Speaker 1: schools and grading. The report says students have been underserved
1:14:26
Speaker 1: by their prior schooling. Sure writes, no kidding. Only twenty
1:14:29
Speaker 1: two percent of twelfth graders scored proficient in math on
1:14:34
Speaker 1: the National Assessment of Educational Progress DEEP scores last year.
1:14:38
Speaker 1: That's the lowest on record. Isn't that heartbreaking? She also
1:14:44
Speaker 1: points out some of the best profession's best teachers, those
1:14:47
Speaker 1: that have been around a long time, that are capable
1:14:48
Speaker 1: who enter the profession when they well really had a
1:14:52
Speaker 1: desire for teaching and there were fewer women opportunities in
1:14:55
Speaker 1: the workforce. They're all retiring that get a load of this.
1:14:59
Speaker 1: The replacement are lacking. Teacher credential programs typically require only
1:15:05
Speaker 1: a C plus average in undergraduate education. Note that goes
1:15:12
Speaker 1: along with pervasive grade inflation in colleges. In colleges, so
1:15:16
Speaker 1: many young teachers find themselves with only fifth grade math
1:15:22
Speaker 1: skills that your college teachers and high school teachers. And
1:15:29
Speaker 1: of course, he said, so far as the US News
1:15:31
Speaker 1: and Ward Reports rankings don't pay attention to that. They
1:15:36
Speaker 1: say graduation and retention makes up the largest weight in
1:15:39
Speaker 1: the rankings, but gee, that might encourage colleges to inflate
1:15:43
Speaker 1: grades to ensure that unqualified applicants that they admit still graduate.
1:15:47
Speaker 1: Graduate employment outcomes account for only five percent of the
1:15:50
Speaker 1: rankings weight. So if you're choosing a college and they
1:15:53
Speaker 1: have an awesome job placement figure, wouldn't you think that
1:15:57
Speaker 1: would be to your child's best advantage because the act
1:16:00
Speaker 1: actually got a job out of the college education. US
1:16:03
Speaker 1: News doesn't seem to think so. And there are other
1:16:08
Speaker 1: points that are made here, but fundamentally, your children apparently
1:16:15
Speaker 1: are not being graded properly in K through twelve. They're
1:16:18
Speaker 1: being passed into higher levels in spite of the fact
1:16:21
Speaker 1: that they fail on the level that they're in. That's okay,
1:16:25
Speaker 1: They'll still get an A when they graduate. Everyone will
1:16:27
Speaker 1: think they're brilliant. They'll get into college and they will fail.
1:16:29
Speaker 1: They're set up for failure, and then they graduate. If
1:16:32
Speaker 1: they graduate, they stick it out with a degree that
1:16:35
Speaker 1: doesn't help them because the colleges aren't interested in finding
1:16:39
Speaker 1: jobs for the young people that are only interested in
1:16:41
Speaker 1: turning out diplomas and collecting tuition. In a world with
1:16:49
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence taking over more and more jobs, I only
1:16:52
Speaker 1: see a growing broader problem. Ask yourself this question. Is
1:16:57
Speaker 1: this which is truly going on? Well documented the great inflation?
1:17:02
Speaker 1: Passing children into college that are ready for college. All
1:17:04
Speaker 1: that is happening right now and has been for a
1:17:07
Speaker 1: long time. Question is it nefarious or are they just stupid?
1:17:12
Speaker 1: I am opting for the former. This seems to me
1:17:15
Speaker 1: to be a concerted effort to churn out dumb people
1:17:19
Speaker 1: who have nothing to look forward to than being and
1:17:21
Speaker 1: relying on some government program to feed them. Oh look,
1:17:26
Speaker 1: cook County, Illinois just established a permanent guaranteed income program
1:17:31
Speaker 1: free money just for breathing. Seven seventeen, fifty five krs
1:17:36
Speaker 1: DE Talk Station. Christopher Smithman's up next first Fast and

1:17:41
Speaker 1: than Fast and Pro just great craftsman level work. And
1:17:46
Speaker 1: you have, let's say you want custom metal work. I
1:17:48

1:17:57
Speaker 1: Fifty five car City Talk Station Monday, It's time the
1:18:00
Speaker 1: former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Everybody here
1:18:02
Speaker 1: in the fifty five Karssey Morning you show Christopher's minimum
1:18:04
Speaker 1: with this Smith event. Welcome Christopher. I hope you had
1:18:06
Speaker 1: a wonderful Thanksgiving, my friend I did.
1:18:09
Speaker 8: And happy Thanksgiving to you and to your listening audience.
1:18:13
Speaker 8: And you know it was one of those Thanksgivings with
1:18:18
Speaker 8: the ambush of those two National Guard members. You know
1:18:23
Speaker 8: that captured my imagination, and you know you can put
1:18:28
Speaker 8: yourself in the place of those parents, you know, over
1:18:31
Speaker 8: Thanksgiving where their children went out at a very young
1:18:35
Speaker 8: age and signed up to serve our country. They're deployed
1:18:41
Speaker 8: legally on a domestic guard case, you know, in in DC,
1:18:49
Speaker 8: and then you wake up and somebody just randomly comes
1:18:52
Speaker 8: up shoots your daughter twice and then shoots your son
1:18:57
Speaker 8: in the head, and that's your thanksgiving. These families give
1:19:02
Speaker 8: so much to all of us. I'm so disappointed in
1:19:06
Speaker 8: seeing n and MSNBC. I think there are moments where
1:19:10
Speaker 8: I think that they can do better turning around, but
1:19:13
Speaker 8: they hit new lows because they were there trying to
1:19:17
Speaker 8: justify what happened, and so they're trying to pin the
1:19:21
Speaker 8: tail of a donkey by saying they shouldn't have been there.
1:19:25
Speaker 8: And if I'm a military family and I'm watching that,
1:19:28
Speaker 8: if I'm a veteran, veterans have served all over the world,
1:19:32
Speaker 8: all over this country. During COVID, we had the National
1:19:36
Speaker 8: Guard deployed all over in different parts of the country
1:19:40
Speaker 8: trying to tell us what we could and couldn't do.
1:19:43
Speaker 8: But these guardsmen are there just doing their job, and
1:19:47
Speaker 8: that's what we always have to remember. And I'm just
1:19:50
Speaker 8: blown away of why it's so partisan, Like this is
1:19:53
Speaker 8: a moment where whether you're a Democrat or a Republican,
1:19:57
Speaker 8: no matter what your political persuasion, is a libertarian an
1:20:00
Speaker 8: independent like me. This is where you say country first,
1:20:04
Speaker 8: and you just extend your deepest support and condolences to
1:20:08
Speaker 8: the family. You don't try to undermine orders of where
1:20:12
Speaker 8: they were. They're serving our country.
1:20:14
Speaker 2: They're doing what they're supposed to do.
1:20:16
Speaker 8: They're following the commander in chief, and that's what you do.
1:20:20
Speaker 8: And I just think it's so Unamerican to do anything
1:20:23
Speaker 8: other than what I'm saying right now. And I just
1:20:25
Speaker 8: want to say to the specialist Sarah Beckstrom who lost
1:20:30
Speaker 8: her life twenty years old a baby, and I want
1:20:36
Speaker 8: to acknowledge Andrew Woolf, who's in critical condition, who's fighting
1:20:40
Speaker 8: for his life. I think those are I think that's
1:20:42
Speaker 8: where I start. And these families are around his bedside
1:20:46
Speaker 8: right now. You know you're that you always wanted to
1:20:49
Speaker 8: be that great dad. You know I've always wanted to
1:20:51
Speaker 8: be that great dad. Like I'm involved in my kid's life,
1:20:55
Speaker 8: you're involved in your children's life. This is a massive
1:20:59
Speaker 8: moment for that Hire family, and I'm just looking for
1:21:02
Speaker 8: the whole country to wrap our arms around them and
1:21:05
Speaker 8: all those who are serving. You know, it doesn't matter
1:21:07
Speaker 8: where they're serving. Everyone is watching because one of their brotherns,
1:21:12
Speaker 8: one of their sisters has fallen and lost their life.
1:21:17
Speaker 8: So I just can't say enough about it, and I
1:21:19
Speaker 8: just want to want to send a message out. And
1:21:21
Speaker 8: I have a son, by the way, I do have
1:21:24
Speaker 8: a son. His name is Caleb, Caleb Smitherman, who's serving
1:21:28
Speaker 8: in the Guard right. He did four years active duty,
1:21:31
Speaker 8: but he's now back serving in the Guard. And so
1:21:34
Speaker 8: I'm one of those families where my son could be
1:21:36
Speaker 8: deployed any place in the world. So it's not fake
1:21:39
Speaker 8: for me. It's very real. And it you know, as
1:21:43
Speaker 8: I'm watching my son, you know, at Thanksgiving dinner, and
1:21:46
Speaker 8: I'm happy that I have him there. You know, we're
1:21:48
Speaker 8: all in a very solemn mood understanding that one of
1:21:52
Speaker 8: his lost their life and one is fighting for their life.
1:21:56
Speaker 8: And I think we just have to keep this in
1:21:57
Speaker 8: the forefront of our mind and keep this this political
1:22:01
Speaker 8: conversation that someone was having on CNN and MSNBC on
1:22:05
Speaker 8: who is responsible. The person responsible is the person from
1:22:09
Speaker 8: Afghanistan who's here here in our country, who decided to
1:22:13
Speaker 8: go in and take the life of Sarah Bestrom. That's
1:22:18
Speaker 8: who's responsible. It's not the gun, it's the person is
1:22:22
Speaker 8: the person here who engaged in terrorism in our country.
1:22:26
Speaker 1: Hey man, Christopher, I'm glad you brought that up, because
1:22:29
Speaker 1: of course he is a major tragedy. Let's pause when
1:22:31
Speaker 1: Christopher back, I always got a lot more on his mind.
1:22:33
Speaker 1: Will continue with the Smith event after I mention Jimney
1:22:36
Speaker 1: Carey talk station seven thirty. Here, if you have kr
1:22:41
Speaker 1: S talk station, we're continuing the conversation as we do
1:22:44
Speaker 1: every Monday with Christopher Smitheman. The Smith event is what
1:22:46
Speaker 1: we call it. Well, Christopher, what else is on your
1:22:48
Speaker 1: mind this morning?
1:22:50
Speaker 8: Well, we have this Tennessee election tomorrow, and I've been
1:22:55
Speaker 8: watching it very interesting because I think it has big
1:22:58
Speaker 8: implications in twenty twenty six and the balance of Congress.
1:23:03
Speaker 8: And I just never would believe that a person running
1:23:06
Speaker 8: for Congress would say things like I hate Tennessee. I
1:23:11
Speaker 8: hate country music. I mean country music made Tennessee. And
1:23:15
Speaker 8: they're in the running. I mean, this Democrat could win
1:23:19
Speaker 8: this race. So you know, she's running against this representative,
1:23:23
Speaker 8: this congressional member, Representative Epps, who's a veteran tied into
1:23:29
Speaker 8: my first segment. I believe he was a pilot businessman
1:23:35
Speaker 8: values lined up with Tennessee and he's fighting for his
1:23:40
Speaker 8: political life there as the Poland says. Now the Poland
1:23:42
Speaker 8: could be all could be wrong. I agree. Joe Strecker
1:23:46
Speaker 8: told me that, you know, as I was company. He says,
1:23:48
Speaker 8: look at smitham in the Poland could be wrong. But
1:23:50
Speaker 8: I'm even shocked that it's even somewhere close in Tennessee
1:23:55
Speaker 8: and it's just a race. I'm going to be watching
1:23:57
Speaker 8: tomorrow because I think it has tremendous implications about what
1:24:01
Speaker 8: could happen in twenty twenty six. This is a race
1:24:04
Speaker 8: that Republicans should easily win hand down, particularly the weak
1:24:08
Speaker 8: candidate on the other side, who's made a lot of
1:24:11
Speaker 8: really crazy statements about Tennessee. Whatever your politics are. I mean,
1:24:16
Speaker 8: if you just say I don't like Tennessee and I
1:24:18
Speaker 8: don't like country music, for most races, that would disqualify you.
1:24:23
Speaker 8: This one seems to ignite the Democratic candidate. And I
1:24:26
Speaker 8: just wonder whether the Republicans have it in them to
1:24:29
Speaker 8: show up in an off election and make sure that
1:24:32
Speaker 8: the House remains they remain controlled in control of it.
1:24:37
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you point to that particular statement. Now,
1:24:41
Speaker 1: grant you, Tennessee obviously huge country music. The Grand Old
1:24:45
Speaker 1: Opry's there. I mean it's but and it points out
1:24:50
Speaker 1: with two things. One, what politician from Tennessee would make
1:24:54
Speaker 1: an utterance like that, that's just dumb, even if you
1:24:57
Speaker 1: don't like country music. And here's Brian Thomas saying, you
1:24:59
Speaker 1: know what, some of it's okay, but I don't gravitate
1:25:03
Speaker 1: the country music very often, so it's is not my
1:25:05
Speaker 1: favorite genre. But I wouldn't insult the entire you know,
1:25:09
Speaker 1: country music audience or industry. So you don't touch that
1:25:13
Speaker 1: with a ten foot pole politically. But the other thing
1:25:16
Speaker 1: is that that matters in a political race, you know,
1:25:21
Speaker 1: I mean, wait a minute, what's your what's your favorite
1:25:23
Speaker 1: country music? Do you like country music? Is if that
1:25:25
Speaker 1: should be a defining factor whether or not you vote
1:25:28
Speaker 1: for someone to basically help run the state or run
1:25:31
Speaker 1: the country.
1:25:33
Speaker 8: I just think economically, it's one of those states where
1:25:36
Speaker 8: people travel there, you know, it's a centerpiece of their commerce.
1:25:42
Speaker 8: You know, country music, you know is where you know
1:25:46
Speaker 8: Dolly Partons. I mean, it's the whole thing. And I
1:25:49
Speaker 8: mean it's like it's not like you know, it's it's
1:25:53
Speaker 8: very different like coming to our to a state and say, man,
1:25:56
Speaker 8: I don't like the Bengals. I mean, you could be
1:25:58
Speaker 8: in Cleveland and they like the Cleland know, they like Cleveland.
1:26:01
Speaker 8: You know, this is like, you know, their state kind
1:26:03
Speaker 8: of you know, it dies on the vine based on
1:26:07
Speaker 8: this thing that they call country music. And just I
1:26:11
Speaker 8: I'm just shocked. You know, Tennessee again is one of
1:26:14
Speaker 8: those states like Alabama, you know, Mississippi, Florida. You know
1:26:19
Speaker 8: that that tends to be not very competitive for Democrats,
1:26:23
Speaker 8: and so this is very interesting this particular race. It
1:26:27
Speaker 8: should be no poland should be a twenty point lead
1:26:30
Speaker 8: for this military guy who's running. And in light of
1:26:33
Speaker 8: what just happened to these two National guardsmen, you would
1:26:36
Speaker 8: think it would wake up those in Tennessee. Maybe it
1:26:39
Speaker 8: does to come out and say, yeah, I'm gonna support
1:26:41
Speaker 8: this veteran who's given so much for our country. You know,
1:26:45
Speaker 8: I love it when you talk about the flight that
1:26:47
Speaker 8: you take. You know, I love hearing about them. You know,
1:26:52
Speaker 8: I love hearing about the the World War Two veterans,
1:26:55
Speaker 8: that generation you know that's that's dying off or you know,
1:26:59
Speaker 8: and they they gain so much for the United States,
1:27:03
Speaker 8: and you know, you just got to tip your hat.
1:27:04
Speaker 8: I can't go anywhere and see a veteran and say, hey, man,
1:27:07
Speaker 8: thanks for your service. If I see their hat, you know,
1:27:11
Speaker 8: or I see something on their car, because these are
1:27:14
Speaker 8: people I didn't serve. These are people that put me
1:27:17
Speaker 8: in a position to be able to make money in
1:27:19
Speaker 8: this country, live free, and without them on the line.
1:27:23
Speaker 2: Somewhere in this.
1:27:24
Speaker 8: World, whether it's Venezuela, whether it's China. You know, you
1:27:28
Speaker 8: and I don't have the freedoms. So I just don't
1:27:30
Speaker 8: understand why we don't genuflect the way you do for veterans.
1:27:35
Speaker 8: I just I don't get it.
1:27:38
Speaker 1: I don't either, Christopher. And as you were talking about
1:27:40
Speaker 1: the murder of the National Guard troop or the one
1:27:43
Speaker 1: murder and one almost murder, that will wait and see
1:27:47
Speaker 1: and continue to pray for that person's health. But I
1:27:50
Speaker 1: was thinking about, you know that you would go after
1:27:53
Speaker 1: those folks for doing their job. They are following the law,
1:27:57
Speaker 1: They are taking the orders they were ordered to do.
1:28:00
Speaker 1: They seem to, you know, be following the law generally speaking.
1:28:03
Speaker 1: It reminded me a little bit about how a lot
1:28:04
Speaker 1: of people treated the American veterans coming back from Vietnam.
1:28:08
Speaker 1: I don't recall any of them being shot down for
1:28:10
Speaker 1: their service to our country. But spit on, yell at, degraded,
1:28:15
Speaker 1: and did any one of those service members who were
1:28:18
Speaker 1: merely following orders and doing their job and a very
1:28:21
Speaker 1: controversial military operation. I'll grant you, were they worthy of
1:28:25
Speaker 1: that kind of treatment from their own fellow citizens, I
1:28:28
Speaker 1: would say absolutely not. You want to get mad at somebody,
1:28:31
Speaker 1: you want to metaphorically spit on someone. I'm not advocating
1:28:34
Speaker 1: for it. But and then wouldn't it be the politicians
1:28:36
Speaker 1: who ordered us into Vietnam rather than the service members
1:28:38
Speaker 1: who followed their orders and did their job. Hold on, Christopher,
1:28:42
Speaker 1: I know we got more to talk about coming up
1:28:43
Speaker 1: at seven thirty six, Right now, fifty five krs. The
1:28:46
Speaker 1: Talks seven at fifty five krs DE Talk Station Brian
1:28:52
Speaker 1: Thomas with Christopher Smith Aman working through the Smith Event.
1:28:55
Speaker 1: Various topics with Christopher this morning. Always enjoy having you
1:28:57
Speaker 1: on the program. Christopher. It's real pleasure and one of
1:28:59
Speaker 1: the things I'm thankful for as I reflect back on
1:29:02
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and all the other things that I can be
1:29:04
Speaker 1: thankful for in my life. So love you have on
1:29:06
Speaker 1: your show, brother, Thank you so much.
1:29:09
Speaker 2: Brother.
1:29:09
Speaker 8: Look this whole transgender conversation continues to permeate across our country,
1:29:16
Speaker 8: and it's a meaningful conversation as we go into twenty
1:29:18
Speaker 8: twenty six. And I want to highlight two quick things.
1:29:22
Speaker 8: One is a woman out of California, Tish Hyman, a
1:29:26
Speaker 8: black lesbian who was in a Planet Fitness location. There
1:29:31
Speaker 8: was a person there who identified themselves as transgender in
1:29:35
Speaker 8: her locker room. That's made national news. She asked him
1:29:40
Speaker 8: to leave the locker room she thought uncomfortable. She announced
1:29:44
Speaker 8: this in the middle of the gymnasium. Planet Fitness not
1:29:46
Speaker 8: only threw her out, but took her membership away, and
1:29:48
Speaker 8: she's been out being very outspoken. This is a black
1:29:51
Speaker 8: lesbian who is saying, listen, I am uncomfortable with a
1:29:55
Speaker 8: man in a locker room with women. It is unsafe.
1:29:59
Speaker 8: But thisicular man, this particular man had a history of violence,
1:30:04
Speaker 8: domestic violence against his wife. And so it's just amazing
1:30:08
Speaker 8: that we're still having this public conversation about men in
1:30:14
Speaker 8: locker rooms with women. Women deserve safe places to undress,
1:30:20
Speaker 8: to do whatever they need to do in their safe places,
1:30:23
Speaker 8: in their locker rooms, and men should not be integrated
1:30:27
Speaker 8: in that environment. And I just don't understand why you
1:30:31
Speaker 8: and I can't support the LGBTQ plus community and also
1:30:35
Speaker 8: say that guys shouldn't be in locker rooms with women.
1:30:40
Speaker 8: But it's a part of the Tennessee election. It's a
1:30:42
Speaker 8: part it's going to be a big part of the
1:30:43
Speaker 8: twenty six election in the midterms. And I just think
1:30:48
Speaker 8: common sense is absolutely leaving us as we try to
1:30:52
Speaker 8: talk about these I say, wedge issues. But this is
1:30:57
Speaker 8: amazing to me. And then this is weekend are last
1:31:00
Speaker 8: week we have a British woman named Andrea Thompson where
1:31:06
Speaker 8: she's the strongest woman in the world. You didn't realize
1:31:10
Speaker 8: or did realize, you know, they gave her the trophy.
1:31:14
Speaker 1: But she it's a guy. It's a biological male Christopher.
1:31:20
Speaker 8: I thought that Jamie Booker was which was a trans person.
1:31:25
Speaker 8: That person was disqualified and Andrea Thompson was given the
1:31:29
Speaker 8: first place award over the weekend. They stripped her, or
1:31:35
Speaker 8: they stripped the transgender person of the of the This
1:31:39
Speaker 8: this competition, I want everybody to understand, like this is
1:31:42
Speaker 8: like a man competing against women lifting weights or whatever
1:31:45
Speaker 8: they were doing women, a man competing against women and
1:31:49
Speaker 8: there they are on the podium. If you saw that
1:31:52
Speaker 8: the woman just the the the British woman just walked away.
1:31:56
Speaker 8: She was so disgusted, Like here, I I've spent my
1:31:59
Speaker 8: whole life training for this moment and now it's being
1:32:02
Speaker 8: stripped from me because I'm competing against a man.
1:32:05
Speaker 2: A man.
1:32:06
Speaker 8: This is another example right where we have to use
1:32:10
Speaker 8: our common sense. This is not like, you know, a sport.
1:32:15
Speaker 8: Let's say that you're riding a motorcycle. I'm just trying
1:32:17
Speaker 8: to think about a sport where there might be a
1:32:20
Speaker 8: quality between men and women, you know, in a sport.
1:32:24
Speaker 8: This is literally testosterum. This makes no sense. They got
1:32:29
Speaker 8: it right, and the woman should have and did win
1:32:32
Speaker 8: and should be the strongest woman she won the competition.
1:32:35
Speaker 1: I agree with you completely. The biological male should not
1:32:38
Speaker 1: have been able to compete in that tournament because it
1:32:40
Speaker 1: is a strength based exercise. But what I understand, and
1:32:45
Speaker 1: it throws a little bit of monkey wrench into your analysis,
1:32:48
Speaker 1: it wasn't that they stripped that guy acting as their
1:32:50
Speaker 1: woman or purporting to be a woman from the title
1:32:52
Speaker 1: because they turned out it turns out that they discovered
1:32:56
Speaker 1: that she was a guy competing against women, but because
1:32:58
Speaker 1: she had been involved or he had been involved in
1:33:00
Speaker 1: the production of pornography that they found out all these
1:33:04
Speaker 1: you know, porno movies or whatever that she he was
1:33:07
Speaker 1: connected with after the fact, and so that was one
1:33:09
Speaker 1: of the basis for the stripping of the title. I'm
1:33:11
Speaker 1: a little fuzzy in the details on that, although I
1:33:13
Speaker 1: did read an article to that effect. So was it
1:33:16
Speaker 1: really because of her being a biological male that they
1:33:20
Speaker 1: did it, or was it because of some other untoward activity.
1:33:22
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are, but the point being,
1:33:25
Speaker 1: and I agree with you completely mentioned be competing against
1:33:27
Speaker 1: women biological men that is, and you know, going back
1:33:31
Speaker 1: to your.
1:33:32
Speaker 8: Original shaking my head, I'm shaking my head. My grandparents
1:33:35
Speaker 8: are shaking their heads. I mean, I just don't even
1:33:38
Speaker 8: understand the conversation. First of all, you could be right
1:33:41
Speaker 8: about all of that, which just even makes it worse
1:33:44
Speaker 8: that they wouldn't. They wouldn't rule and say, listen, this
1:33:47
Speaker 8: is a dude who's in here competing against women on
1:33:51
Speaker 8: stript training, and whether she or he acknowledged it or not,
1:33:56
Speaker 8: it's absolutely the wrong director.
1:33:58
Speaker 6: It is.
1:33:58
Speaker 8: Well, anyway, you're making it even worse that, Hey, they didn't,
1:34:02
Speaker 8: they didn't make the decision based on ay Man we
1:34:05
Speaker 8: found out this was a dude kipedia against women.
1:34:08
Speaker 1: I agree and don't and don't quote me gospel on
1:34:10
Speaker 1: Matt if you want to look for that particular article,
1:34:12
Speaker 1: I do believe that was on the New York Post,
1:34:15
Speaker 1: so you can check for yourselves on the backstory on that.
1:34:18
Speaker 1: But going back to your first illustration the lesbian woman,
1:34:21
Speaker 1: because I did see quite a few articles about that.
1:34:23
Speaker 1: She was disturbed because this guy is junk in the
1:34:26
Speaker 1: living and that made her very uncomfortable. You mentioned that
1:34:30
Speaker 1: the guy that made her uncomfortable the the the the
1:34:33
Speaker 1: transgender woman, which means a guy pretending to be or
1:34:37
Speaker 1: thinking that he is a woman. You mentioned that he
1:34:41
Speaker 1: had a wife, that, yeah, that's a layer that I
1:34:45
Speaker 1: wasn't aware of. But does that make him a lesbian?
1:34:49
Speaker 8: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. And I think this,
1:34:53
Speaker 8: I think this is something in the past where it
1:34:55
Speaker 8: was not only did he have a wife, but he
1:34:57
Speaker 8: also was he also was involved in domestic by and
1:35:00
Speaker 8: what and what Tish Hyman was saying, which I thought
1:35:04
Speaker 8: was riveting for African Americans. She started also saying, I
1:35:09
Speaker 8: am frustrated with the trans community connecting their plight to
1:35:14
Speaker 8: civil rights there is no connection between those two things,
1:35:18
Speaker 8: meaning African Americans who came through this country, who were
1:35:22
Speaker 8: hung who were enslaved, who worked on plantations for free,
1:35:28
Speaker 8: brutally beat, raped, pillage, whatever the word you want to use.
1:35:32
Speaker 8: There is no connection between this movement of trans and
1:35:37
Speaker 8: the civil rights movement. This is what this black lesbian
1:35:40
Speaker 8: out of California, Tish Hyman was also saying. She's expressing
1:35:44
Speaker 8: this frustration that they're trying to serve on the backs
1:35:48
Speaker 8: of African Americans. And I tell African Americans who are
1:35:51
Speaker 8: listening who vote straight down the Democratic ticket, they better
1:35:54
Speaker 8: start learning about what they're voting for and understanding it
1:35:58
Speaker 8: and not just being a sheep given a sample ballot
1:36:02
Speaker 8: as they go in and vote. This is the issue.
1:36:04
Speaker 8: Sometimes I don't think we have informed voters out there
1:36:07
Speaker 8: that are saying, listen, what is the platform of this party?
1:36:11
Speaker 8: And I think this Tish Hyman is waking up saying
1:36:14
Speaker 8: what in the heck is going on in the Democratic Party?
1:36:18
Speaker 8: That here I am in a locker room, and as
1:36:20
Speaker 8: you just said, there's a dude walking around with his
1:36:23
Speaker 8: junk out. I'm uncomfortable with it. And Planet Fitness is
1:36:27
Speaker 8: saying They're going to strip me of my membership. They're
1:36:30
Speaker 8: gonna throw me out because I'm saying I'm uncomfortable with
1:36:33
Speaker 8: the dude in the locker room. That's how far we've
1:36:35
Speaker 8: gone in this country. The Democratic Party has left so
1:36:39
Speaker 8: many Democrats behind. They better wake up and say this
1:36:43
Speaker 8: left part of our party who's trying to take over
1:36:46
Speaker 8: and drive it into twenty twenty six. They better take
1:36:49
Speaker 8: back their party and come back to common sense. Brian Thomas,
1:36:52
Speaker 8: no question about it. So I was glad to see
1:36:55
Speaker 8: this African American lesbian woman, member of the elder GBTQ
1:37:01
Speaker 8: plus community stand up to the trans movement saying you
1:37:05
Speaker 8: could have your own trans bathroom. I'm not against you.
1:37:08
Speaker 8: I support you. I just don't want you in my
1:37:12
Speaker 8: safe place in a locker room with your junk out.
1:37:15
Speaker 8: I'm uncomfortable with that. Yes, and I'm with this, and
1:37:18
Speaker 8: I'm with Tish Hymen on that.
1:37:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and the whole component of lumping all of
1:37:23
Speaker 1: those particular sub sets together LDBTQ plus goes on and
1:37:28
Speaker 1: on and on. You know, I think gays and lesbians
1:37:32
Speaker 1: been have gotten a disserviced under them, because you know,
1:37:34
Speaker 1: if you are gay or lesbian. You were demonstrably, so
1:37:36
Speaker 1: that is what your sexual preference is, the same thing
1:37:38
Speaker 1: with the biommunity. You enjoy having sex with both men
1:37:41
Speaker 1: and women. You're a bisexual, that that that's irrefutable. But
1:37:45
Speaker 1: to say that I am a woman when I'm biologically
1:37:49
Speaker 1: a mail, I can look down and see what God
1:37:51
Speaker 1: gave me by way of equipment. I don't have a
1:37:53
Speaker 1: problem with you believing that. I think maybe psychological counselings
1:37:58
Speaker 1: in order. Because you can look down and see what
1:38:00
Speaker 1: you were made with. You can do genetic testing, chromosomal
1:38:03
Speaker 1: testing to the extent that doesn't prove it to you.
1:38:05
Speaker 1: They'll determine whether you got an X and X or
1:38:07
Speaker 1: X and Y. That to me is scientific proof. But
1:38:11
Speaker 1: as you know, I'm a live and let live guy.
1:38:14
Speaker 1: If you want to believe you are, then that's okay.
1:38:16
Speaker 1: But you can't force your belief to the detriment of
1:38:20
Speaker 1: all the folks out here who are traditionalists when it
1:38:23
Speaker 1: comes to biology, gay, lesbian, bisexual. If you got junk
1:38:27
Speaker 1: and you're in a woman's locker room, then that's a
1:38:30
Speaker 1: legitimate problem people face. If you got junk, you're a
1:38:33
Speaker 1: biological male, you are probably at least statistically going to
1:38:37
Speaker 1: be stronger than the pharo sex Ooh, what a racist
1:38:40
Speaker 1: or what a sexuist thing to say. Then women generally, so, No,
1:38:43
Speaker 1: just because you think you're the opposite sex, she doesn't
1:38:46
Speaker 1: qualify you to compete against people. I mean, there's a
1:38:49
Speaker 1: complete difference here, nobody. I mean it's not trans. Yeah,
1:38:54
Speaker 1: it's not transphobic for me to say that, I'm not
1:38:57
Speaker 1: afraid of trans people. I don't want them to You'll
1:39:00
Speaker 1: be eliminated from society. I'm just saying, listen, they have
1:39:03
Speaker 1: to give in to some of the societal norms that
1:39:05
Speaker 1: we're all used to, like biology.
1:39:09
Speaker 8: I don't want trans people discriminated against. No, right, this
1:39:12
Speaker 8: is not about that. You know, as I have been
1:39:15
Speaker 8: very open. I have a son who's gay. I have
1:39:18
Speaker 8: a brother who's gay. Right, I have many people in
1:39:21
Speaker 8: my families who are gay.
1:39:21
Speaker 2: This is not the discussion.
1:39:24
Speaker 8: This is what's happening. And there's so many people that
1:39:26
Speaker 8: are in the LGBTQ plus community who agree with me, right,
1:39:31
Speaker 8: who are saying, listen, trans people should not be in
1:39:35
Speaker 8: bathrooms with women. But I'm guaranteeing everybody you're listening, audience,
1:39:40
Speaker 8: this is going to be a centerpiece of the discussion
1:39:43
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty six as Democrats are running for reelection
1:39:47
Speaker 8: all across the country, and all I'm saying is, we've
1:39:50
Speaker 8: got to approach this with common sense. It makes no sense.
1:39:53
Speaker 8: I have a beautiful daughter. She's a swimmer at a
1:39:56
Speaker 8: local high school called Seatan. I don't want to dudes
1:40:00
Speaker 8: competing against her, and she's trying to make time as
1:40:04
Speaker 8: colleges are looking at her thinking, hey, we might pick
1:40:07
Speaker 8: you up. As a matter of fact, we had one college,
1:40:10
Speaker 8: very small D three college reach out at about Camille.
1:40:14
Speaker 8: So the reality of it is all of all of
1:40:16
Speaker 8: her high school seniors who are swimming on that seat
1:40:19
Speaker 8: and team could make it somewhere in the in the
1:40:23
Speaker 8: United States of America at a college. It's the millisecond.
1:40:27
Speaker 8: It's not like a second, it's like a millise. Get different.
1:40:30
Speaker 8: You cannot have men competing against girls, or boys competing
1:40:35
Speaker 8: against girls in a sport like swim, as one example,
1:40:38
Speaker 8: and it would be absolutely unacceptable. Then I just did frustrated.
1:40:43
Speaker 1: I understand your frustration. You didn't call looking for an argument.
1:40:46
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Good job, Christopher. Have you on
1:40:48
Speaker 1: next Monday. Have a great week Money eight oh five,
1:40:55
Speaker 1: Here a fifty five krc DE talk station, A very
1:40:57
Speaker 1: very happy Monday to you by In fact, we don't
1:41:00
Speaker 1: get Brian James this morning Money. Monday's Brian James taking
1:41:03
Speaker 1: a day off. I am so pleased bring back to
1:41:04
Speaker 1: the thirty five KC Morning Show. Something I learned from
1:41:07
Speaker 1: this man, Gary Walton, that we do have a Cincinnati
1:41:11
Speaker 1: type in print museum, and it's way more than the museum.
1:41:14
Speaker 1: Gary Walton, welcome back man. I understand you got a
1:41:16
Speaker 1: big event going on this weekend. It's good to have
1:41:18
Speaker 1: you back on the show.
1:41:20
Speaker 3: Oh it's crazy to be back on the show. And
1:41:22
Speaker 3: I do want to talk about the event. But the
1:41:24
Speaker 3: most important thing I want to talk about is the
1:41:26
Speaker 3: last time we were together, we were mentioning about how
1:41:28
Speaker 3: we were training adults with disabilities. I'm happy to say
1:41:32
Speaker 3: that we have three individuals who have done extremely well,
1:41:36
Speaker 3: and our goal in this coming January twenty twenty six
1:41:39
Speaker 3: is placing them on a real job in the printing industry.
1:41:43
Speaker 3: And this is just the beginning of many, many, many
1:41:46
Speaker 3: adults of disability actually finding real work and being able
1:41:50
Speaker 3: to make a living for their family. So that's the
1:41:52
Speaker 3: first thing I want to tell you back. That's just
1:41:54
Speaker 3: really exciting. We're having a great time with that, and
1:41:56
Speaker 3: so that's great. But the second thing I'd like to
1:41:58
Speaker 3: bring to your attention is just number fourth, fifth, and
1:42:01
Speaker 3: sixth at the museum, totally free from ten am to
1:42:05
Speaker 3: three pm. We're going to celebrate Charles Dickens, the Christmas
1:42:09
Speaker 3: Carol and make people were that this book was really incredible.
1:42:13
Speaker 3: Up to that time, nobody really celebraated Christmas. But when
1:42:17
Speaker 3: this book comes out, all of a sudden, the whole
1:42:19
Speaker 3: Christmas tradition starts generosity and the giving of gifts multiplied
1:42:24
Speaker 3: by a factor of ten after this books come out.
1:42:27
Speaker 3: So this book is really important for our society and
1:42:29
Speaker 3: realizing where we have come today and how we celebrate
1:42:32
Speaker 3: Christmas today.
1:42:33
Speaker 2: And so forth.
1:42:34
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting the concept that you just
1:42:37
Speaker 1: brought up. Now, I think everyone's familiar with the Christmas Carol,
1:42:41
Speaker 1: Charles Dickens book, you know, and if you aren't a
1:42:43
Speaker 1: good person in life, and you don't, you know, take
1:42:46
Speaker 1: advantage of your resources and help those in need, you're
1:42:49
Speaker 1: going to face eternal damnation. I was like, holy cow,
1:42:53
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that was in store.
1:42:55
Speaker 2: For me.
1:42:55
Speaker 1: So Dickens applied sort of Christian principles about helping fell
1:43:00
Speaker 1: Man and turn it into a it's not a consequence
1:43:03
Speaker 1: free environment. You got some serious consequences headed your way.
1:43:08
Speaker 1: Don't act that way. So did it transform Christmas in
1:43:11
Speaker 1: a positive way in the sense that, oh, that's right,
1:43:13
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to give to those in need, and you know,
1:43:16
Speaker 1: tithe or do my fair share. Don't rely on the
1:43:19
Speaker 1: state and its workhouses. No, you have to personally engage
1:43:23
Speaker 1: in that conduct. But then coupling it with the idea
1:43:25
Speaker 1: that you're going to be saddled with the chains and
1:43:27
Speaker 1: the peril forever, really did an effective job of marketing
1:43:31
Speaker 1: for charity.
1:43:33
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, absolutely.
1:43:36
Speaker 3: And when you come to the museum, you're going to
1:43:37
Speaker 3: actually print chapter five, what she called Stage five of
1:43:41
Speaker 3: the Christmas Card, which is the best chapter. I think
1:43:43
Speaker 3: it's the ending. Yeah, so you actually print as in
1:43:45
Speaker 3: the zoom and I'll take that home with you. You're
1:43:47
Speaker 3: going to print Marley's speech that he gives about how
1:43:50
Speaker 3: he should have been more involved with the community and
1:43:52
Speaker 3: so forth. And then you also print some Christmas wrapping paper.
1:43:56
Speaker 3: We got to press that up where you'll print this
1:43:58
Speaker 3: big piece of Christmas wrapping paper. So it's a fun event.
1:44:01
Speaker 3: They'll be cookie beat and so forth, and just make
1:44:03
Speaker 3: pe aware again of how important printing is to this city.
1:44:07
Speaker 1: Printing And this is what I learned from you, my friend,
1:44:10
Speaker 1: because I was not aware that Cincinnati is like the
1:44:13
Speaker 1: etic center for the printing industry, an industry that is
1:44:16
Speaker 1: still flourishing. And whether or not you're in those that
1:44:21
Speaker 1: he helped out from the disabled category, there are jobs
1:44:24
Speaker 1: in the printing industry. And I wasn't even aware of
1:44:28
Speaker 1: the need for printing in the electronic or the electronics
1:44:32
Speaker 1: business with these circuit board printing that you do. Yes,
1:44:37
Speaker 1: that was an eye opener.
1:44:41
Speaker 3: We're actually working on getting a printing press out of
1:44:45
Speaker 3: Denmark where you'll be able to come to the museum
1:44:47
Speaker 3: and we'll be actually printing solar panels right there in
1:44:51
Speaker 3: front of you, so you can take them home and
1:44:53
Speaker 3: hook them up to electric wires and actually start collecting
1:44:56
Speaker 3: solar energy for free.
1:44:59
Speaker 1: That's wild. Obviously in the there's a special kind of
1:45:01
Speaker 1: paper those have to be printed on. I presume you're
1:45:03
Speaker 1: not going to throw a piece of construction.
1:45:05
Speaker 3: No, just we're gonna be printing on a thin plastic,
1:45:08
Speaker 3: but can literally printed on anything paper, plastic, would metal,
1:45:11
Speaker 3: The substrate doesn't really matter. The important thing is the ink.
1:45:15
Speaker 3: All the magic is in the ink, and the ink
1:45:18
Speaker 3: is would have all the magic. And so that's why
1:45:19
Speaker 3: we can actually print this on a traditional printing press.
1:45:23
Speaker 3: These are not super duper modern presses. These are traditional presses.
1:45:27
Speaker 3: So anybody in Cincinnati who has the printing press can
1:45:30
Speaker 3: print electronic devices.
1:45:32
Speaker 1: Now that is amazing. With the magic ink, that's amazing.
1:45:36
Speaker 1: So the key is the ink. How about learn something
1:45:37
Speaker 1: else today in the morning show? Since ay type in
1:45:39
Speaker 1: print museum. You're open throughout the year though, so visitors
1:45:43
Speaker 1: can make arrangements to go. And I know you love
1:45:45
Speaker 1: to have like tour groups with you know, maybe senior
1:45:48
Speaker 1: groups or school children. Groups of school children come in
1:45:51
Speaker 1: and see the museum. That that can easily be arranged.
1:45:53
Speaker 3: Correct, correct, And you do want to go on our
1:45:57
Speaker 3: website and make an appointment because we have to get
1:45:59
Speaker 3: things set up. But we now are official merit badge
1:46:03
Speaker 3: for the Boy Scouts. You can learn your kittch, your
1:46:04
Speaker 3: graphic arts, merriage battercoming a museum in one day. We
1:46:08
Speaker 3: do have homeschoolers, lots of homeschoolers come and then we
1:46:12
Speaker 3: try to where they are in their training, try to
1:46:15
Speaker 3: bring the lesson that we're going to be teaching that
1:46:17
Speaker 3: day towards what they're doing. So if they're into writing books,
1:46:20
Speaker 3: you know, we'll actually print a book. If they're into packaging,
1:46:24
Speaker 3: we'll actually have them create a package and actually make
1:46:26
Speaker 3: the package themselves right there, So we tailor make each
1:46:29
Speaker 3: tour for the group that's coming.
1:46:31
Speaker 1: Fantastic, And I see that you have an internship program
1:46:35
Speaker 1: there at at the type of pri museum. Tell my
1:46:38
Speaker 1: listeners about that, because I keep going back to the
1:46:42
Speaker 1: whole idea that there are jobs out there that don't
1:46:44
Speaker 1: involve a four year college degree and they're good paying
1:46:47
Speaker 1: jobs and their career opportunities, and right there you have
1:46:49
Speaker 1: an internship program to help you achieve your career goals.
1:46:53
Speaker 2: Correct.
1:46:54
Speaker 3: So the intern program that we have is for working
1:46:57
Speaker 3: at the museum. However, next year I'm going to be
1:47:01
Speaker 3: working with a few of my printing buddies and saying
1:47:03
Speaker 3: would you like to stay, And I know they're going
1:47:05
Speaker 3: to jump at it, have an inter and come work
1:47:07
Speaker 3: for you, because, like I said, there's a shortage of
1:47:10
Speaker 3: graphic arts people. So I know they're going to be
1:47:12
Speaker 3: up for it. So yes, we do this thing now
1:47:15
Speaker 3: called walkings, where people can walk in after they have
1:47:17
Speaker 3: the chores, say you know, I want to work in
1:47:18
Speaker 3: the industry, and then we connect them up with a company,
1:47:21
Speaker 3: and I try to connect them a company close to
1:47:23
Speaker 3: where they live, because I don't believe they should be
1:47:25
Speaker 3: traveling forever and then get in place. And so this
1:47:28
Speaker 3: year four individuals who walk in the door are now
1:47:30
Speaker 3: working in the printing industry.
1:47:32
Speaker 1: That's all outstanding. Any possibility of working with vocational schools,
1:47:36
Speaker 1: I know that seems to be a big push going
1:47:39
Speaker 1: to vocate as opposed to traditional high schools. You can
1:47:41
Speaker 1: go to one of the Diamond Oaks or the Scarlet
1:47:43
Speaker 1: Oaks types of schools they had when I was a kid,
1:47:45
Speaker 1: and a lot of people chose that as a career path.
1:47:47
Speaker 1: And we're working a long time before I was, because
1:47:50
Speaker 1: I went to a four year college. But can you
1:47:52
Speaker 1: partner up with maybe that as like a class course
1:47:56
Speaker 1: that high school kids could take done already done.
1:48:01
Speaker 3: Diamondoaks and both Diamondoaks and Scarlok's a bus the museum,
1:48:06
Speaker 3: both of them have offered that when they're ready to
1:48:08
Speaker 3: graduate in the spring of twenty twenty six, that we'd
1:48:10
Speaker 3: help get them jobs. So and I'm good friends with
1:48:14
Speaker 3: the instructors of those two schools, so yeah, that's you know,
1:48:18
Speaker 3: I taught printing for twenty five years, so I have
1:48:20
Speaker 3: those connections with the education community but also with the
1:48:23
Speaker 3: business community, and so it just all works out really well.
1:48:27
Speaker 1: Fantastic. Now going back to I had two follow up questions.
1:48:31
Speaker 1: When people show up this weekend for the Christmas themed
1:48:34
Speaker 1: event in print chapter five of the Christmas Carol, which
1:48:38
Speaker 1: printer are they going to be using? Guys, you have
1:48:41
Speaker 1: a Gutenberg original type print press.
1:48:45
Speaker 2: Correct, yes, yes, so Marley's speech.
1:48:49
Speaker 3: They will print that on the wooden Gutenberg press co
1:48:52
Speaker 3: a replica of the of the fourteen fifty press. Then
1:48:56
Speaker 3: they'll go in the back room and something called a
1:48:59
Speaker 3: show car press print the wrapping paper and then.
1:49:04
Speaker 10: All the book.
1:49:04
Speaker 6: The book.
1:49:04
Speaker 3: They will actually print that on another type of a
1:49:07
Speaker 3: smaller version of a show card press. But we will
1:49:10
Speaker 3: also have the ability to show folks how type was
1:49:14
Speaker 3: actually created. So they will be given these molds and
1:49:18
Speaker 3: using our machine called the leadlow and the inner type
1:49:21
Speaker 3: actually cash from hot metal type that before the mac
1:49:25
Speaker 3: is invented. Everything was done with what we call hot type,
1:49:28
Speaker 3: which is molten lead and then cooled down to actually
1:49:31
Speaker 3: make a type character.
1:49:33
Speaker 1: Is that the the little individual letters of the alphabet
1:49:37
Speaker 1: that had to be stacked in a row in order
1:49:39
Speaker 1: to concrete the create the plate that was used in
1:49:41
Speaker 1: the printing press. I'm trying to get this a better
1:49:44
Speaker 1: understanding of what you were talking about with this molten metal.
1:49:46
Speaker 3: So all the way back to fourteen fifty, Johann Gutenberg
1:49:50
Speaker 3: invents mobile type. So you had individual individual letters, individuals
1:49:55
Speaker 3: that have put together and then tied together so they
1:49:57
Speaker 3: don't move. And then up Martin Reverent thought and William
1:50:02
Speaker 3: Ludlow said, why are we casting one letter at a time,
1:50:05
Speaker 3: Why don't we cast a line of type. So they
1:50:08
Speaker 3: made machines that you put the molds all together, just
1:50:10
Speaker 3: like you're lining up the type. Now you're lining up
1:50:12
Speaker 3: the molds and you cast one line of type. So
1:50:16
Speaker 3: if you had a heading going across, that would be
1:50:17
Speaker 3: one piece of metal that you'd cast.
1:50:20
Speaker 6: And beauty.
1:50:21
Speaker 3: Also, it's fresh, brand new type, so to print really well.
1:50:24
Speaker 3: When you're using foundry type, it tends to wear down
1:50:26
Speaker 3: a little bit and get old and this is always
1:50:29
Speaker 3: fresh type. So the printing quality is much better when
1:50:31
Speaker 3: you're casting your own type now rather.
1:50:35
Speaker 1: Than for demonstrative purposes and historical purposes like what's going
1:50:38
Speaker 1: to happen when you're printing to Charles Dickens Chapter five
1:50:41
Speaker 1: and the speech. Is that still a process that's used today,
1:50:44
Speaker 1: because it sounds very labor intensive? Is it still a
1:50:47
Speaker 1: very labor intensive process? When I think about modern printers?
1:50:50
Speaker 1: I mean I go back to dot matrix and the
1:50:52
Speaker 1: current modern printers we have now it just zips things out.
1:50:55
Speaker 1: So is there still a lot of labor involved in
1:50:57
Speaker 1: the print industry?
1:51:00
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, still a lot of labor.
1:51:01
Speaker 3: Even though AI has come into the printing industry, and
1:51:04
Speaker 3: so our press is today have a lot of AI
1:51:07
Speaker 3: technology and robotic technology, but you still need a human
1:51:11
Speaker 3: to run those machines. There's still a lot of handwork.
1:51:15
Speaker 3: Once it's printed, things that folded, stapled, and so there's
1:51:20
Speaker 3: still a lot of handwork on that. And then also
1:51:22
Speaker 3: the Mac computer when it comes out and it makes
1:51:25
Speaker 3: it available to anybody to create images. Now you'd think
1:51:30
Speaker 3: it would hurt the industry, but it did just the opposite.
1:51:32
Speaker 3: Not everybody can create a green card. Everybody can create
1:51:35
Speaker 3: a newsletter. So the volume of printing has actually gone
1:51:38
Speaker 3: up because of the computer.
1:51:40
Speaker 2: So we still for every.
1:51:42
Speaker 3: Press that's running, there's got to be at least five
1:51:45
Speaker 3: computers feeding it with artwork and so forth. Because the
1:51:48
Speaker 3: press is the day are so fast. I mean I
1:51:50
Speaker 3: just saw a video other day. I think Heidelberg has
1:51:53
Speaker 3: one that's going twenty two thousand copies in the hour.
1:51:56
Speaker 3: That's just mind boggling. Yeah, I mean, so they can
1:51:59
Speaker 3: really crank out the work really fast. So we need
1:52:01
Speaker 3: more and more people creating the work to feed these
1:52:04
Speaker 3: machines and keep them.
1:52:05
Speaker 1: Going, and the program be pivoting over to the other question.
1:52:07
Speaker 1: I have the program that you have helped these three
1:52:10
Speaker 1: men with I suppose, flack of a better word, disabilities.
1:52:13
Speaker 1: They were autistic, correct.
1:52:16
Speaker 3: They're autistic men.
1:52:17
Speaker 1: Yes, so there are career opportunities for folks out there
1:52:20
Speaker 1: who might think that there's not a career opportunity. I
1:52:23
Speaker 1: have a friend who's on an autistic spectrum. He's been
1:52:26
Speaker 1: working for a decade or more. I mean he lives
1:52:29
Speaker 1: by himself, self sufficient's got a good job. I mean
1:52:32
Speaker 1: he's on a higher spectrum, and the autism scale but
1:52:35
Speaker 1: definitely autistic.
1:52:36
Speaker 3: He is.
1:52:36
Speaker 1: But I think it's so nice to know that there
1:52:38
Speaker 1: are industries out there that in spite of some struggles
1:52:41
Speaker 1: people may have, are still have that they still have
1:52:43
Speaker 1: career opportunities.
1:52:45
Speaker 2: Right.
1:52:46
Speaker 3: And the thing that I just love about these three guys,
1:52:50
Speaker 3: they're the happiest people in the base there. I mean,
1:52:52
Speaker 3: we go into work, they're smiling, They're always thanking me
1:52:55
Speaker 3: for everything. It's just a joy. I didn't realize going
1:52:58
Speaker 3: into this, and I would have so much fun training them.
1:53:01
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be sad then they leave the ogs with you.
1:53:04
Speaker 3: Except with that, I think that we're gonna keep on permanently.
1:53:07
Speaker 3: He's just he gives a lot of the tours.
1:53:09
Speaker 1: Now and we just love that. Not gonna let that.
1:53:13
Speaker 3: But the other I let that dad go. I love
1:53:15
Speaker 3: him too much. So yes, so very very rewarding. What
1:53:20
Speaker 3: I did, you know, working at Cincinnati State, I trained
1:53:22
Speaker 3: over three thousand, five hundred people and that was great.
1:53:26
Speaker 3: But I find this way more rewarding to be helping
1:53:29
Speaker 3: these young men have a fulfilling career.
1:53:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, going back to the point about Charles Dickens or
1:53:33
Speaker 1: Christmas Carol, I think you're in the right Wheelhouse there
1:53:35
Speaker 1: by Fred.
1:53:37
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yes, yeah, think about that.
1:53:39
Speaker 1: Yes, uh huh, try to put it all together.
1:53:42
Speaker 5: Gary.
1:53:42
Speaker 1: Now, is that type of program continue throughout the year.
1:53:45
Speaker 1: Maybe someone's out there going, oh, you know, my son,
1:53:48
Speaker 1: my daughter, I think they'd be great at this, or
1:53:50
Speaker 1: are you going to continue offering it is on a
1:53:51
Speaker 1: sporadic basis?
1:53:53
Speaker 3: Oh no, No, we're we're we're into educating the world
1:53:57
Speaker 3: and we're into creating people to go in the printing
1:53:59
Speaker 3: industry twenty four to seven. So anybody interested, give us
1:54:03
Speaker 3: a call, will sit down with you. Definitely. This is
1:54:06
Speaker 3: an ongoing thing, that is, and we're actually expanding. I'm
1:54:09
Speaker 3: hoping this year to build building number three and Building
1:54:13
Speaker 3: number four to give us more space to be able
1:54:15
Speaker 3: to do more training.
1:54:16
Speaker 6: You know.
1:54:17
Speaker 3: So my goal is some day to be able to
1:54:18
Speaker 3: have as many as forty individuals at one time being
1:54:21
Speaker 3: trained for the printing industry.
1:54:22
Speaker 1: Well to that end, there are opportunities for memberships and
1:54:26
Speaker 1: opportunity to well maybe support them Cincinnati Type in Print
1:54:29
Speaker 1: Museum by maybe a little financial contribution this type of year.
1:54:33
Speaker 1: Go to Cincinnati Print Our Type Print Museum Cincinnati Typeprint
1:54:40
Speaker 1: Museum dot org for all the details. About the event
1:54:42
Speaker 1: this week and all that they do throughout the year
1:54:44
Speaker 1: to schedule deployment, to do a tour and make it
1:54:46
Speaker 1: really easy for you. There's a little request for him
1:54:48
Speaker 1: you can fill out. Gary walt Man. It's so great
1:54:50
Speaker 1: hearing from you again, and thanks for continuing the historic
1:54:54
Speaker 1: journey through the print industry and reminding my listeners it's
1:54:57
Speaker 1: alive and well and there are career opportunities out there there.
1:55:00
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. Gary. We'll have you again
1:55:02
Speaker 1: on the program again soon, I hope, yes in.
1:55:06
Speaker 3: January when I tell you the success story of those
1:55:08
Speaker 3: two men.
1:55:09
Speaker 1: Yes, you already got an appointment here in the Morning Show.
1:55:11
Speaker 6: Gary.
1:55:12
Speaker 1: Hey, between now and then, if I don't see you
1:55:14
Speaker 1: or hear from you, have a very merry Christmas, and
1:55:16
Speaker 1: keep up the great work you and all the crew
1:55:18
Speaker 1: at the Type in Print Museum. Happy Monday. Mary don't
1:55:27
Speaker 1: have Gary Walton. I'm just so impressed about that, since
1:55:29
Speaker 1: any Type in Print museum, it's just a neat thing.
1:55:32
Speaker 1: He's the one that gave me the information at the
1:55:35
Speaker 1: outset that since he was like the print capital of
1:55:38
Speaker 1: the world, and that we still are to a large extent.
1:55:41
Speaker 1: Plus career opportunities, and of course an opportunity to use
1:55:44
Speaker 1: the Gutenberg Press, at least a replica of one. That
1:55:47
Speaker 1: should be a fun thing going on. You got three days,
1:55:49
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. It's the Christmas season. What a
1:55:51
Speaker 1: truly unique thing to do during Christmas time here in
1:55:54
Speaker 1: the Greater Cincinnati. You got the train exhibits, you got
1:55:57
Speaker 1: the Union termament, you got all the lights, you got
1:55:59
Speaker 1: all that. But who else can claim a type in
1:56:02
Speaker 1: print museum. Nobody? It's us. So get the details of
1:56:06
Speaker 1: fifty five KRSA dot com of course, along with the
1:56:08
Speaker 1: Christopher smither Van if you can get a chance to
1:56:10
Speaker 1: listen to Christopher this morning his podcast or his podcast
1:56:14
Speaker 1: over at fifty five car Sea dot com and props everybody.
1:56:17
Speaker 1: He uses the iHeartMedia app so you can call in
1:56:19
Speaker 1: if you happen to be and I don't know Florida.
1:56:22
Speaker 1: You heard from a Florida listener earlier this morning. And
1:56:26
Speaker 1: a word of caution Joe Strecker, executive producer of the
1:56:30
Speaker 1: fifty five Carsee Morning Show, also responsible for call screening.
1:56:35
Speaker 1: Treat him with respect, don't be lippy and cursey with
1:56:41
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker. You'll find yourself banished from the fifty five
1:56:44
Speaker 1: krsee Morning show. How many times that happen over the years, Joe?
1:56:48
Speaker 1: A handful? Yeah, I think I could make a list
1:56:51
Speaker 1: of each and every one of those over the years.
1:56:55
Speaker 1: I love hearing from you. But you know, Joe's Treker yet, right,
1:57:01
Speaker 1: don't be that guy or gallas the case. Maybe you
1:57:03
Speaker 1: haven't banned any women though, ever?

1:57:50
Speaker 1: least coming out of the gate at number one. Victoria Parks,
1:57:55
Speaker 1: Victoria Parks president pro time in this Cincinna City Council
1:58:00
Speaker 1: didn't run for reelection. Maybe good reasons for that, he
1:58:03
Speaker 1: may recall on the aftermath of July beatdowns, remember Holly
1:58:06
Speaker 1: getting cole cocked in the face for no reason. People
1:58:11
Speaker 1: were quick to draw conclusions in the aftermath of that
1:58:13
Speaker 1: put Cincinnati on the map nationally and even globally for
1:58:16
Speaker 1: all the wrong reasons. Brought attention to the crime problem
1:58:19
Speaker 1: that a pervold could claim didn't exist. Gave read the
1:58:26
Speaker 1: rest of the City of Cincinnati residents great comfort in
1:58:28
Speaker 1: knowing that they could go downtown and not face any
1:58:31
Speaker 1: criminal problems. Victoria Parks, who said they deserved the beatdown,
1:58:39
Speaker 1: So now that you know who I'm talking about, she
1:58:43
Speaker 1: was given the key to the city November seventeenth, Court
1:58:48
Speaker 1: of the Report here. Accomplishments include serving as chief of
1:58:51
Speaker 1: staff or former commissioner, being appointed to the commission, spearheading
1:58:55
Speaker 1: initiatives like passing a resolution declaring racism a public health
1:58:58
Speaker 1: crisis and making June tenth the paid holiday for the
1:59:01
Speaker 1: city and for Hamilton County employees. Her roling since government
1:59:06
Speaker 1: also cited holds a leadership position as President pro tem
1:59:09
Speaker 1: on City Council, Key accomplishments. Her significant achievements including serving
1:59:14
Speaker 1: as the chief of staff for Commissioner Todd portun for
1:59:17
Speaker 1: a number of years, being appointed to fill his seat
1:59:21
Speaker 1: on the commission after his retirement, spearheading the passing of
1:59:25
Speaker 1: a resolution in Hamilton County declaring racism of public health
1:59:28
Speaker 1: crisis as I just mentioned, initiating the hashtag five Pine
1:59:32
Speaker 1: three Survived project, which gave youth a platform divorce voice
1:59:35
Speaker 1: their feelings during the COVID nineteen pandemic. Introducing a resolution
1:59:43
Speaker 1: for June thirteenth again paid holiday for Hamilton County employees.
1:59:46
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the resolution passed. Key to the City. Oh,
1:59:53
Speaker 1: did I mention? She also said the people in the
1:59:55
Speaker 1: late or July beatdown in the city deserved it. I
2:00:00
Speaker 1: talked to Holly about that. No, and as it turns out,
2:00:09
Speaker 1: arrests were made, people maybe serving time as a consequence
2:00:14
Speaker 1: of the beatdown, which was completely undeserved, much like the
2:00:19
Speaker 1: Key to the City award that was given after she
2:00:25
Speaker 1: said those poor people deserved the beatdown. Fun facts here

2:01:07
Speaker 1: turn it into a holiday tradition for you. Let's go
2:01:09
Speaker 1: to the phones and see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby,
2:01:11
Speaker 1: welcome to the Morning Show.
2:01:14
Speaker 5: Happy Monday, my brother, welcome back everybody, Faith, flag, family,
2:01:18
Speaker 5: and firearms. When you keep those, you always keep your.
2:01:21
Speaker 1: Freedom, yes, sir, at least we hope so, Bobby, Well, we.
2:01:25
Speaker 5: Had a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving holidays. I tell
2:01:28
Speaker 5: you what best fifty four dollars I ever spent in
2:01:31
Speaker 5: my life?
2:01:32
Speaker 1: What are you referring to Bobby.
2:01:35
Speaker 5: I took a bottle of Trump wine and when they
2:01:38
Speaker 5: pulled the sleeve all it set the tone.
2:01:44
Speaker 1: You took Trump wine to your Thanksgiving celebration.
2:01:48
Speaker 5: And some paper cups.
2:01:51
Speaker 1: Now, hold on, let's set the stage, Bobby. If you're
2:01:54
Speaker 1: in a room full of family members and friends gathering
2:01:57
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, I would have imagined that they're probably share
2:02:01
Speaker 1: the same political ideology and philosophy that you do, Bobby,
2:02:04
Speaker 1: Or would I be wrong on that? And was the
2:02:06
Speaker 1: Trump wine brought for the purpose of stirring the pot
2:02:09
Speaker 1: on a holiday?
2:02:11
Speaker 5: Well, my friend, there were no family members there.
2:02:14
Speaker 2: I was.
2:02:14
Speaker 5: I went to a little third party get together that
2:02:17
Speaker 5: I was invited to, and I've never been to an
2:02:20
Speaker 5: A list get together. But it was about a B
2:02:24
Speaker 5: you know, B minus. Okay, but it set the.
2:02:27
Speaker 1: Tone, my friend, well, and you see.
2:02:29
Speaker 5: Split, It split the room up like you wouldn't believe.
2:02:32
Speaker 1: So you ended up being that guy. That guy I
2:02:35
Speaker 1: said don't be before we went into Thanksgiving holiday, saying,
2:02:38
Speaker 1: get stay the hell away from politics, enjoy the food
2:02:41
Speaker 1: and the fellowship, and don't stir the pot. So you
2:02:44
Speaker 1: disregard to be Bobby. Well, we had a great time
2:02:49
Speaker 1: dot Well, was it received in at least a somewhat
2:02:54
Speaker 1: lighthearted way, like, oh, there's Bobby again being Bobby? Or
2:02:58
Speaker 1: did people actually get over having to look and interfere
2:03:02
Speaker 1: with their safe space at a bottle of Trump wine?
2:03:06
Speaker 5: There was a lot of peach haired women there that
2:03:08
Speaker 5: couldn't hardly swallow their food.
2:03:11
Speaker 1: How the hell did you end up in an event
2:03:13
Speaker 1: like that? Man, didn't they know who they were inviting?
2:03:17
Speaker 2: No?
2:03:17
Speaker 5: I didn't know anybody except the lady that I went with.
2:03:20
Speaker 5: She said, do you mind if you go to a
2:03:22
Speaker 5: get together with me? And I said, well, I don't
2:03:24
Speaker 5: know anybody. And she said, well you don't have to
2:03:26
Speaker 5: And I said okay, And anytime you go any place,
2:03:29
Speaker 5: it's always nice to take something.
2:03:31
Speaker 1: I agree. Maybe this is not a bottle of Trump wine. Body,
2:03:36
Speaker 1: can I read into anything? Why you weren't involved into
2:03:39
Speaker 1: a family gathering? I mean, have you ostracized or alienated
2:03:43
Speaker 1: the other members of your family? I don't want to
2:03:44
Speaker 1: get too personal, Poppy.
2:03:47
Speaker 5: No, we celebrated for three or four days. This is
2:03:50
Speaker 5: just one evening affair. I was invited. I thought I
2:03:52
Speaker 5: would attend.
2:03:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, lady, did those who were the pink haired ladies
2:03:58
Speaker 1: that were little upset or otherwise offended by the Trump Wine.
2:04:01
Speaker 1: Did they at least partake of the Trump wine to
2:04:04
Speaker 1: make comments about whether it was any good or bad?
2:04:06
Speaker 1: Or did they just stay away from it?
2:04:08
Speaker 5: They just stayed away?
2:04:09
Speaker 1: Kind of figure, Bobby, take care, man. I hope you
2:04:15
Speaker 1: had fun. Not everybody has to follow my advice. That's
2:04:19
Speaker 1: not something I would have done, but you know what,
2:04:21
Speaker 1: it kind of reminded me. I seriously, Bobby came to
2:04:24
Speaker 1: mind yesterday. I mentioned earlier in the program. I had
2:04:27
Speaker 1: probably the most restless, disturbing dream night of my life
2:04:33
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. And I don't know why. Don't something
2:04:38
Speaker 1: I ate? Maybe I had too much caffeine to me,
2:04:40
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I felt like I didn't get
2:04:42
Speaker 1: any sleep, and I had a recurring dream that really
2:04:45
Speaker 1: a boiled down kind of was like a dystopian nightmare,
2:04:54
Speaker 1: part of which was predicated on this this this great
2:04:57
Speaker 1: undoing of our social norms. As a concert, it's a
2:05:00
Speaker 1: bunchecked immigration. It's happening in a year. If it's happening here,
2:05:04
Speaker 1: it seems like in every Western country has been overwhelmed.
2:05:08
Speaker 1: And I think it's a concerted effort, folks to water
2:05:11
Speaker 1: down culture and you know, everybody's the same, and you know,
2:05:14
Speaker 1: we don't have any differences between us and them, and
2:05:16
Speaker 1: we're all, you know, we are the world whatever. But
2:05:19
Speaker 1: it's clearly happening. We talked about the Somali community up
2:05:23
Speaker 1: in Minnesota earlier, not an indictment of all people smalling,
2:05:26
Speaker 1: but a lot of them involved in criminal enterprises, some
2:05:28
Speaker 1: of them supporting terrorists. But eighty thousand people the locals
2:05:32
Speaker 1: up there refer to Little Mogadishu. You don't think that's
2:05:36
Speaker 1: had a profound impact on you know, Minnesota generally. Do they,
2:05:39
Speaker 1: you know, embrace American culture or don't they? I know,
2:05:44
Speaker 1: when of Trump's advisors pointed out that they come from
2:05:46
Speaker 1: such a corrupt country that a lot of this corruption,
2:05:49
Speaker 1: this may just be an extension of their philosophy about
2:05:51
Speaker 1: dealing with government, which is the government's corrupt. I don't
2:05:54
Speaker 1: care if I steal from them. Nobody cares. We all
2:05:56
Speaker 1: do it because well, they're corrupt, they deserve to be
2:05:58
Speaker 1: stolen from. Now, that to me doesn't carry over here.
2:06:02
Speaker 1: Although there's a lot of corruption in government, most notably
2:06:04
Speaker 1: a lot of fraud, wasted abuse in government, programs, generally speaking,
2:06:07
Speaker 1: which typically are designed to help people but are often abused. Sadly,
2:06:11
Speaker 1: most of our elected officials don't really seem to care
2:06:13
Speaker 1: about the fraud wasted abuse component as long as they
2:06:15
Speaker 1: got the little feather in their cat. They can, you know,
2:06:17
Speaker 1: crow about how much they've helped people on live's margins.
2:06:24
Speaker 1: But this was such a disturbing series of dreams I
2:06:26
Speaker 1: couldn't shake it. I literally would wake up, going back
2:06:28
Speaker 1: to sleep and struggling with the same dystopian reality in
2:06:31
Speaker 1: my dream. And in my dream Eugene Debs came up. Now,
2:06:37
Speaker 1: I haven't heard the name Eugene Debs mentioned in twenty
2:06:41
Speaker 1: thirty I don't know how many years. And if you'd
2:06:43
Speaker 1: ask me who the first socialist slash communist party leader
2:06:46
Speaker 1: was in the United States of America, I probably would
2:06:48
Speaker 1: have said something like Woodrow Wilson, but no Eugene Debs.
2:06:52
Speaker 1: It was a big labor activist back in the late
2:06:54
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds. I think he did take
2:06:56
Speaker 1: a shot as running as a socialist or communist as
2:06:59
Speaker 1: a for president, but he was like the original you know,
2:07:03
Speaker 1: democrats socialist. So for whatever reason, Eugene Debs was packed
2:07:08
Speaker 1: back in my subconscious somewhere, and my dream was so
2:07:11
Speaker 1: blank and weird and bizarre and disturbing that he popped
2:07:15
Speaker 1: into it, and it was left so disturbed by it
2:07:18
Speaker 1: that just you've had a dream like where it carries
2:07:21
Speaker 1: over and affects your mood and how you feel the
2:07:23
Speaker 1: next day. Yeah, all day Sunday. I'm kind of got
2:07:26
Speaker 1: that going to the back of my head, trying to
2:07:27
Speaker 1: make sense of what I really literally felt was fear
2:07:32
Speaker 1: and concern and worry for my country, simply as a
2:07:36
Speaker 1: consequence of a dream and for whatever reason made me
2:07:42
Speaker 1: think of Bobby forty five ah five three seven and
2:07:49
Speaker 1: two three dog pound five fifty on at and t
2:07:51
Speaker 1: Fund stick around a little bit more to talk about
2:07:52
Speaker 1: after the break, be right back fifty five krc Hey
2:07:58
Speaker 1: forty nine fifty five Care see the talk station inside Goop,
2:08:02

2:08:09
Speaker 1: eight thirty Daniel Davis Deep Dive. That and a whole
2:08:11
Speaker 1: lot more to on tomorrow's morning shows schedule. Let's go
2:08:13
Speaker 1: to the phone, Seoul folks have to say, Sandy thanks
2:08:16
Speaker 1: for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
2:08:20
Speaker 10: Hey, Brian, I just wanted to say that, you know,
2:08:24
Speaker 10: I haven't had dreams like that. Other people had dreams
2:08:26
Speaker 10: like that. And you know, God uses dreams sometimes and
2:08:31
Speaker 10: sometimes you will this thing you will not forget. Okay.
2:08:36
Speaker 10: There are some things you know, you wake up and
2:08:38
Speaker 10: you think, oh my gosh, and you forgot it. Like
2:08:41
Speaker 10: some things like these, Yeah, you do not forget. For
2:08:44
Speaker 10: a reason. God is trying to show you something. He's
2:08:47
Speaker 10: trying to wake some people up.
2:08:49
Speaker 1: Yep.
2:08:49
Speaker 10: And I really I'm telling you I'm not a dreamologist,
2:08:53
Speaker 10: but I'm a Christian and I'm telling you the Holy
2:08:55
Speaker 10: Spirit can wake people up in these ways.
2:08:58
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm agreeing with you. And I don't
2:09:02
Speaker 1: know if it's a divine intervention, but I'm the type
2:09:04
Speaker 1: of guy who rarely ever remembers dreams. I mean rarely ever.
2:09:10
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost like if it happens, I'll mention
2:09:13
Speaker 1: it to my wife. I remembered a dream that I
2:09:15
Speaker 1: had last night. You know, maybe it was comical or goofy,
2:09:17
Speaker 1: but I'll never wake up in the morning. It's like never.
2:09:20
Speaker 1: This one was like I lived it and it lasted
2:09:24
Speaker 1: again all through Sunday. It ruined my not totally ruined,
2:09:27
Speaker 1: but it really impacted my mood on Sunday, and I
2:09:30
Speaker 1: remembered it was such clarity. So you may have a
2:09:32
Speaker 1: good point there, but it was almost as if the
2:09:34
Speaker 1: puzzle pieces sort of materialized in my mind that I
2:09:38
Speaker 1: saw with crystal clear vision that we are being intentionally
2:09:43
Speaker 1: undermined on so many levels.
2:09:47
Speaker 2: We really are.
2:09:49
Speaker 10: It is intentional. It's a globalist. It's the globalist, and
2:09:52
Speaker 10: they've got us in fighting race against race, gender against gender.
2:09:56
Speaker 10: All this is injected in by the communist. These are
2:09:59
Speaker 10: the communist to us end, and they're working with other
2:10:02
Speaker 10: radicals and terrorists.
2:10:03
Speaker 2: They're all.
2:10:05
Speaker 10: Amalgamation, amalgamating together until conglomerate for the same purpose. Hate America,
2:10:10
Speaker 10: Hate things that were God founded on God and moral principles.
2:10:16
Speaker 10: Hate these things. This is satanic, ultimately, it's satanic. God
2:10:20
Speaker 10: can use anybody. He can use good people, he can
2:10:23
Speaker 10: use bad people, he can use in between people. He
2:10:25
Speaker 10: can use people like maybe maybe even Trump that aren't
2:10:28
Speaker 10: so great. Sometimes he can use. He can use some
2:10:31
Speaker 10: you wouldn't believe. God can use it anybody he chooses to,
2:10:34
Speaker 10: and he can give dreams to anybody he chooses to
2:10:37
Speaker 10: for a purpose. There is a purpose. You got that dream.
2:10:41
Speaker 10: Others have gotten other parts of dreams, like a dystopian
2:10:44
Speaker 10: thing that.
2:10:44
Speaker 8: Was happened to me.
2:10:46
Speaker 10: You couldn't even get I got up. I couldn't even talk.
2:10:49
Speaker 10: It was so disturbing. Everything was dark. Everything was just
2:10:52
Speaker 10: completely dark, and there had some I couldn't even describe it,
2:10:58
Speaker 10: but it I know that it was pure evil. Yeah,
2:11:02
Speaker 10: so I'm just telling you. I'm not saying to dwell
2:11:06
Speaker 10: on it and ask God. You know, if you know
2:11:08
Speaker 10: God's showing you something for a purpose, you have a microphone.
2:11:12
Speaker 10: He's trying to have you connect a missing dot, a
2:11:15
Speaker 10: piece of the puzzle. See, you know the subconscious You
2:11:20
Speaker 10: can answer questions sometimes, but God can give you dreams
2:11:26
Speaker 10: that way He gave up people know the Bible dreams. Sure,
2:11:32
Speaker 10: so Keith Fah, would you know all kinds of things.
2:11:36
Speaker 1: I understand. And for those out there, maybe agnostic atheists,
2:11:39
Speaker 1: not of the Christian faith, doesn't matter. It was not God,
2:11:42
Speaker 1: it was not the devil. It's just the ultimately realizing
2:11:46
Speaker 1: because I sit and consume this type of information every
2:11:49
Speaker 1: single day. But again, it was that moment of clarity
2:11:51
Speaker 1: that the dream provided. But there are evil people in
2:11:54
Speaker 1: the world who want to undermine what we are and
2:11:56
Speaker 1: who we are for whatever nefarious purpose, call it a
2:11:58
Speaker 1: satanic purpose, or call it just because it is in
2:12:01
Speaker 1: their like globalist best interest that we don't have babies
2:12:05
Speaker 1: and we've reduced the population. They have control everybody, and
2:12:07
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He can go on for hours and
2:12:09
Speaker 1: hours and hours. So it's do you care about capitalism?
2:12:13
Speaker 1: Do you care about America? Do you care about freedoms
2:12:15
Speaker 1: and liberties that only we enjoy. I dearly appreciate that,
2:12:19
Speaker 1: and I never lose sight of that. It's one of
2:12:21
Speaker 1: the reasons why I'm so happy I was born in
2:12:22
Speaker 1: the United States of America. But to see it being
2:12:24
Speaker 1: eroded in front of us, and to see people being
2:12:27
Speaker 1: duped by it, that's the other component I mentioned. The
2:12:29
Speaker 1: education system has been ruined us for our young people.
2:12:33
Speaker 1: They're ill equipped to say no, I am not abiding
2:12:37
Speaker 1: by your characterization of me as a racist or a
2:12:42
Speaker 1: xenophob or whatever. That's not me. You don't know me,
2:12:45
Speaker 1: But here I am. I stand up to it. I'm
2:12:47
Speaker 1: allowed to stand up to it because I think I
2:12:49
Speaker 1: have an educational foundation and enough knowledge about what's going
2:12:51
Speaker 1: on in the world to say, you know, screw you.
2:12:54
Speaker 1: You're not gonna convince me. But there are a lot
2:12:55
Speaker 1: of people that cower in the face of that. Maybe
2:12:57
Speaker 1: they're not as smart as other people who are accusing
2:12:59
Speaker 1: them of falling into one of these categories, and they
2:13:02
Speaker 1: are unwilling to stand up for it. Maybe they're afraid
2:13:04
Speaker 1: of being made fun of or a comment made on
2:13:07
Speaker 1: social media. You gotta stand up to that. Screw it. Yeah,
2:13:11
Speaker 1: you're never gonna please all the people all the time.
2:13:13
Speaker 1: So embrace your principles, recognize what you've got here, the
2:13:17
Speaker 1: gift of God that you were born in the United States,
2:13:20
Speaker 1: and don't let it slip away from you, and fight
2:13:23
Speaker 1: this nefarious activity regardless of its origin.
2:13:27
Speaker 5: Corey.
2:13:27
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, sir.
2:13:31
Speaker 11: Happy Monday. Brian listening to the City five k c
2:13:34
Speaker 11: app from Fort Wyndana this morning.
2:13:36
Speaker 1: Thanks man.
2:13:37
Speaker 11: I'm just going to add if you were listening to
2:13:39
Speaker 11: you were listening to the app as well this morning
2:13:41
Speaker 11: in the four o'clock hour, the overnight show did have
2:13:44
Speaker 11: a dream all of so on over everybody's dreams, So
2:13:47
Speaker 11: ah uh but anyway, Uh some smitheman said earlier about
2:13:53
Speaker 11: the uh weightlifting the guy in Britain. I think Britain's
2:13:57
Speaker 11: a failed country. It has gone There is no hope
2:14:00
Speaker 11: for it unless there's a civil war and they overthrow
2:14:02
Speaker 11: the current government.
2:14:03
Speaker 2: Uh.
2:14:04
Speaker 11: And a prime example. I don't know if he covered it,
2:14:06
Speaker 11: but there was a guy from Britain was in Florida
2:14:09
Speaker 11: and he shot a shotgun and had his picture of
2:14:11
Speaker 11: posted on his Reddit account, and when he got back
2:14:14
Speaker 11: to Britain it was arrested for shooting a gun in.
2:14:17
Speaker 2: The United States.
2:14:20
Speaker 1: You have got to be kidding me. That country has
2:14:24
Speaker 1: gone back.
2:14:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:14:27
Speaker 11: Nolk has a big piece on it on Well.
2:14:31
Speaker 1: All I can say is Corey used Britain as a
2:14:34
Speaker 1: cautionary tale. Used to be a free society. It's not anymore.
2:14:37
Speaker 1: If you want some reading along those lines Editorial, Bird
2:14:40
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. I'm looking for the dateline on this
2:14:43
Speaker 1: twenty seventh Britain budgets for national decline. They're jack in
2:14:49
Speaker 1: the taxes way up, which is going to force people
2:14:51
Speaker 1: to leave the country like they already haven't already. And
2:14:53
Speaker 1: the reason is because they refused to reform their welfare state,
2:14:57
Speaker 1: which is becoming a massive train wreck because they do
2:15:00
Speaker 1: not stop immigrants at the gate. They've let everybody and
2:15:03
Speaker 1: his brothers, sister's, mom, and dad into the country. It's
2:15:06
Speaker 1: become a tremendous burden on it. But rather than fix that,
2:15:10
Speaker 1: they're raising taxes across the board, forty seven percent income
2:15:15
Speaker 1: tax rates, new property taxes on homes. The list is
2:15:20
Speaker 1: on and on and on. You want to move there,
2:15:22
Speaker 1: No nobody does. And then there's that whole free speech
2:15:25
Speaker 1: thing which they've thrown out the window. Eight fifty six
2:15:28
Speaker 1: fifty five KOs the talk station, Thank you, Joe Strekker
